In short

“Podcastmaxxing” as a catch-all for competing/optimizing life via internet slang, plus a long food-and-sex-adjacent riff (salads, germs, “boner chocolate”/Viagra recall rumors, catnip, Viagra/Cialis fears, and awkward personal stories).

Key claims

“Maxing” is framed as improving at something (looks maxing, mogging, jester maxing, pocket/studio maxing). Jester maxing is described as acting foolishly/entertaining to attract attention. They speculate on “boner chocolate” being real and dangerous if it contains too much Viagra/related drugs. They argue “don’t fix a leaky pipe” (avoid taking ED meds unless needed) and discuss fear of side effects.

Notable examples

Caesar salad debates (anchovy-made dressing, bagged vs real), kale/spinach pretension, washing fruit with a salad spinner, scratch-off ticket gifting, and a “Zeppelis + porn” middle-school story.

Guests

No guests are featured; it’s a two-host conversation between Bill Simmons and Frank Alvarez (plus recurring “Joey” as a third voice).

0:36Welcome back to the basement yard. Frank, how are you doing? I'm doing well. How are you doing? I'm doing great. And why don't you wear some more stuff and plug your own podcast? It's getting ridiculous. This guy is fucking crazy. It's getting crazy. It is right. It's getting crazy. Just like the product placement. This guy giving away, he's giving away free plugs on a show. That's not fucking his. I don't know which one you're talking about. What's the name of it? Yeah. I don't know. I like that hat though. I like that a lot. That's really nice. That's it. That's all you're getting. Yeah. I don't.

1:02That's enough for me I will say those candies that you're wearing Love them You don't like them? God those suck Those are one of the worst all time candies And we're in a great candy season We are in a great candy season Easter our lord and he came back He are risen What is it? Is Frank He is risen He is risen He did rise I don't see like that's why I don't like all timey English because it's not good. Like they were all like... He has risen? Yeah, that's what I would say if I were... But he is like a capital H. I know, I know. So if it's like, you know... But that's not the part of it that bothers me.

1:44It's the is risen. So has risen? Yeah, he has risen. He's gonna be rising. Take a look. The Bible's like, yo, he has been... What'd you say? He's gonna be rising. He's gonna be rising. I wonder if... He's gonna be rising. I know that they make, like, Miles has a Bible that's, like, a graphic novel comic book, and it's called, like, the Action Bible. I wonder if, like, someone would, like, take the Bible and, like, translate it into, like, modern lingo. I'm sure that has to. And it's, like, the apostles are like, this is giving resurrection right now. Yeah, it's funny. It's giving leprosy. This is giving frankincense.

2:30Pontius Pilate is giving Mean Girl right now. Oh, I don't like Brutus. Was that the one? No, that was Caesar. Who's the one that went against? Judas. Judas. Brutus and Caesar. Wasn't Caesar like, yeah, that was a different. That was Rome, wasn't it? Yeah, I think so. And a salad. Yeah, dude. Where are you on Caesar salad? I like Caesar salad, but I think that people, when they have, like, their first Caesar salad, they go down a rabbit hole. Like, people, when they try Caesar salad for the first time, they're like, oh, my God, this is the greatest thing, and then everything. Like, Caesar salad wraps, bro, they're good, but everyone chill.

3:07It's like drugs for people. I do think that we're getting away from, like, the point of Caesar. Like, Caesar needs to be a salad dressing, and, like, I don't want this, like, bagged. I want it, like, real Caesar. You know what I mean? Bagged? yeah like pre-made caesar have you seen have you seen those like the like people at the restaurants making it with like just two spoons yeah yeah whoa yeah i went to a restaurant i got the caesar and then they like take a little anchovy and they crush it up and they like fucking that's the only place that i'm like cool with mustard knowing that it's there you know what i mean in a caesar like i know mustard's in there and i'm like i'll allow it yeah you like caesar salad wraps um chicken caesar salad wrap sure what i was gonna say is isn't it weird What's the lettuce where they kind of just put a head of lettuce on it, on the plate?

3:57Like a wedge? Like a wedge salad? Isn't that weird? I love lettuce. You're never going to get an argument with me about lettuce. I like it, too, because it's like a boat. It fills it. What's the red ones? Endives? Endives? Endives, I believe, yeah. Those are good, because they usually pack those bitches. Well, I like when it comes in the romaine, and you can peel it, and you can make a lettuce wrap with it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's cool. I like when it helps me eat, not when I need to do the work for it. I like when it's like a shovel. I can shovel shit in my face. I do like that. Yeah. Caesar salad's great.

4:29It's a great salad. You know what is weird? You ever had butter lettuce? Yeah, what is that? It looks like a full head of lettuce, but there's like eight leaves in it. Yeah. And then they're just like super crunchy. I want all the leaves all the time. I can eat a whole head of lettuce at will. I'm an arugula groupie. Like, I'm into it. Arugula is such an underrated form of greenery. Yeah, dude, it really is. Kale? Kale's kind of... Here's the thing with kale. It holds dressing well. It's pretentious to me. Because it gots like little nooks and crannies in there where it'll just hold a little bit.

5:07Yeah. It's a very outdoorsy looking lettuce. It looks like you got this from outside. I'm sure it is. Which you did, but you know what I mean. I'm sure it is healthy for you, but, like, it seems like it's the type of lettuce, or it's not lettuce. It's the type of greenery that, like, you have it to, like, appear more healthy. You know what I mean? It's the caviar of greens. Yeah, like, you don't know what you're doing. You're just eating kale because you're told it's the best. Yeah, like, this isn't, like, a kale salad? No, not for me. Too much. That's like having a bowl of caviar. Like, you're not going to have, this is, like, a little.

5:41Yeah. It's got to be mixed in with other shit. I'll tell you who is a pretentious bastard. Who the fuck does spinach think it is? Spinach can kiss my ass. Whoa, I feel like I kind of like spinach. I like it, but not to the point where everyone's just like, oh my god, spinach. It's just like in everything. They kind of like throw it in your shit. I don't mind it. I don't like when it gets, when they start all bunching up in my wrap, and then I take a bite and I'm like, I mean, just spinach now? I had great salads in my life. I've never made a great salad. Because all of my stuff gets to the bottom, and then I have to like, yeah I gotta do this thing yeah and I can't do that I gotta like fluffily air it up you know I don't like it it's too much work to be healthy have you ever used one of those fucking salad things where you just crank it oh I don't have the crank I have the button those are cool too my mom has that and I'm like oh and it's spinning that bitch I got the one that's like the crank and I'm like yo there's a lot of G in here like there's a lot of G force I like doing that too with like when I wash fruit and then I take because it has like the removable strainer and then I look at all that dirty water down there and I look at the fruit and I was like look what you did you little pig yeah that's it whoa and then but also like that makes you feel good because you're like I could have eaten that yeah which I don't really care much about like yeah I'm not like hyper intense I'm like you're eating fruit you're eating bugs just what it is and germs like I I think that the good parts of whatever you're eating are going to outweigh the bad parts that are on it sometimes what's the worst thing you've found in your food?

7:11I haven't really like found anything like too insane. Yeah. You ever bit an apple, find a worm? No. No, that only happens in like Disney movies from the forties. I don't think that's ever been a real thing. Or like an apple on a teacher's desk. It's like a fucking... Bro, if I was a teacher and a kid was just like, I like you, here's an apple. I'm fucking smacking that apple and then I'm going to yell at the kid. I'm not going to hit him. Yeah. I'd be like, yo, I'm not eating your... Who the fuck are you? I'm not eating this. How many times have you gifted a mug to a teacher once i think maybe i don't know you were big on the that i don't know if i even got my teacher what are you talking about my mom was like boys with all of my teachers she was like part of the staff yeah so like i had to around christmas time it was like you need to get gifts for all your teachers so they got mugs like the ones that they sell like starbucks that come already wrapped with like a gift card in it and then like a bag of instant coffee or some shit yeah i did that for uh the ice cream man once what it wasn't my idea it wasn't my idea so you won't give gifts to your teacher who arguably has more of an impact on your life but you will to the ice cream guy that was yeah he got in trouble what did he what did he do he didn't hear about this you're making this up i swear what happened to him he got in trouble for like for what children no how am i supposed to guess then stabbing no that's that you think i stabbed like that i thought you had a knife and you stabbed someone no drugs the rumor was drugs yeah oh whatever that's fine i mean as long as it's no no it ain't well to children or to other i don't know who it was to or if it's even true but i'm gonna take it as it's real get it how you live it i mean i i understand drugs are bad but as long as you're not someone's children or you're not stabbing anyone.

9:01Not that that, you know, I don't know. I don't know. I was forced to do this. Just give me my great white shark. I don't want some of that great white. You know what I'm saying? Yes. My dad made me do it. That's, I swear to God, if you had asked me to pick between your two parents, I would have said to your father, 50 % chance. Of course, of course. I don't even know if my mom ever, like, met this guy. My dad knew everyone in the neighborhood for some reason. Your dad was like, oh, go do something nice for him. You know what I got? I don't know what the actual gift was, but I do know there were scratch-off tickets in it.

9:31That's such a popular gift around the holidays. Just buy 10 scratch-offs and just give one to someone because it could be either a meaningless gift or a$30 ,000 gift. I honestly hate it as a gift. If you gift somebody a scratch-off and they win a million, I don't think any scratch-offs can win you a million. No, there are. If it's a$20 one or something, probably. I don't know. But regardless, I'm saying$100 ,000. No. $100 ,000. Would you not a little bit of you? No, no. This is an age-old question because it'll be like, I buy you a Powerball ticket and you win$35 million. How much are you giving me?

10:09We've talked about this a ton. That's different. No, that's different. That's not what I'm saying. Scratch off? Scratch off is a gift, bro. Like, Merry Christmas. Yeah, no, you can't. And then you win$100 ,000. Next time I saw you. Just to be a better person than Joe, I'd give him a little something. I wouldn't give them a fixed amount, but I would be like a dinner or something really nice. Like an elevated version of whatever. Are you telling them that you won the money? You're saying that I win the$100 ,000? No, I was saying somebody else. I would not expect anything. Here we go. Here we go.

10:43Here we go. Hey. Merry Christmas. We're acting. Yeah, acting yard. Welcome back. All right. Action. Merry Christmas. I got you this. scratch off yeah just a little something you know thank you for all the ice creams you've delivered to my kids oh i'm not an ice cream guy yeah okay so um that's for you just best of luck haha oh my god i want a hundred thousand dollars on this wow wow did you thank you so much no problem man how let me see that how did you win that Wow $100 ,000 $100 ,000 Big ones That's so cool Bang, bang, boom That's so cool Fuck ice cream You know what I'm saying? Oh, you're retiring?

11:29Yeah It's$100 ,000 What year is this? Uh, 95 Not enough Right Um That's so I'm so happy for you I would Thank you so much This is unbelievable No problem I gotta give you something I gotta give you something No I gotta Dude, I gotta No You don't need $100 ,000 You just changed my life You don't need to do that you don't need to at least let me take you to dinner where at uh whatever you want all right i know i know this really nice restaurant yeah it's really nice what's your favorite cuisine

12:07wine oh they have a good wine list yep sweet and scene we crush that acting that's what i'm saying So you got to offer, but I got to get you something like, no, but at least let me take you to dinner. Now you're in the clear. But, but here's the thing. At what point is the, no. Do you say like, okay. Cause I know you as an individual, if this were actually happening and I want to say no, you'd be like, okay. After the first time. No. Yeah. No, I would not. Yeah. Because yes, you've, I think you're kind of, what are you basing that on? Because you're the type of person you've openly spoken about this.

12:44that like if someone like if there's like one thing of food left if there's one mozzarella stick left you'll be like anyone want it no no you'll just go okay frank we're equating mozzarella sticks to a hundred thousand dollars that i got from a gift i see a very clear parallel between the two okay you're ignoring nuance here you think that i would be like let me give you something go no okay and i'm out and i'll just walk down the street i think you're more inclined than i am That's bananas that you would think that. I would sneak the money into your, like, and you'd be like, no, and I'd sneak it into your pocket or something.

13:19I will go on record and say that, like, if someone is offering me money and I am telling them no, I would be offended if you snuck it on me. I'd be like, get this the fuck off me. Oh, see. I think it's just like a little playful thing back and forth where it's like, no, yes, huh. But I'm also not like that with, like, the bills with dinner or whatever. if I'm out with people and I would like, I usually, if I want to pay, I will wait until like before the check comes, because I don't want to deal with it. Like in the moment, I don't want to put pressure on anyone, but I'll say to people like, I would really like to pay for this.

13:52If that's okay with you guys. Cause if there's like, you know, whatever, then we can kind of settle that, whatever. If people are, are like, I want to pay and I'm like, it's, or, or if they say that one time then i will let that go because that's different than like are you sure no you don't have to but if they're like no i really i would like to pay for this as well i'd be like okay no problem because i'm not trying to fight you know what i mean like but i would definitely offer it's just a little back and forth but i also know that if i'm in that position and i say that because if someone's like oh you know we want to pay for dinner i'd be like oh my god thank you so much like i appreciate that because i know that i will pay it forward at some point or whatever but if i'm like no no no like i i would like to pay for that i the last thing i want right now is to have this argument where it's like who's nicer than bubble bought because it's not even a matter of that i would like to pay for my end you think someone be trying to like big dog you if they just pay and don't tell you and they're just like now you're my bitch first of all at a restaurant big dog me i don't care if i'm at a restaurant someone's like i'd like to pay for this i i would and it's someone that i know i this happened to me recently where i went out to dinner with people i I was fully like expecting to pay, but they ended up paying.

15:03And like their wife was there and, you know, someone else was there. And they were like, oh, like I'm going to handle it. Don't worry about it. And I was like, all right, like no problem. Like I'll just get the next one type of thing. But I'll remember that. So like the next time I'm not dealing with this shit two in a row. I'm not doing this. It's like the scene in The Sopranos where Meadow's boyfriend like pays for dinner and Tony. And she's like, oh, no. He's like, listen, you fuck. Yeah. And he's like, you fucking when you have your own family. How would you deal with that? I'd be okay with it.

15:32I don't get the... Even in that scene, it's just a disrespect thing. Yeah, it's like... How is it? It's like I'm the one that, you know, like... I'm the head of the household. I'm the head of the household. Like, that's back when... I think now, obviously, it's a very different time than it was whenever they made that show in the 90s. If I went out with my daughter and her new boyfriend and he paid for the bill without me knowing, I would think that he's doing a nice thing, but I also would probably explain that, like, you don't need to do that. And also, like, you're a kid. Like, they were, like, in college.

16:05It's like, you're not paying for the dinner. Yeah. I don't know. I think it'd be like, I appreciate this, never do this again. And then I'd flash a gun in their face. Tony over there. I mean, thank you. I don't know about that one. Yeah. You're a little, like, old school. Not a little. I think you're very old school. You're traditional in a lot of ways. In what way? Like, in ways like that. I'm fully joking Like I Anytime I've been out to dinner With my father-in-law I don't let him pay You know What? You're an adult You don't let him pay You say? Yeah like I'm like I'm going to get this Like please And I mean there have been times Where like But like I always Like listen Please let me do this Like Yeah But I don't think I'm pretty I'm pretty New wave See what I mean?

16:54I'm pretty new wave Yeah I'm pretty hip. I'm pretty hip. I'm pretty hip to it. It is going to be really interesting to see, like, when our kids are, you know, at dating age, what, like, the things to do or not do are, you know? Because those things are evolving. Like, if you had told our parents' generation that, like, you know, the son will pay for dinner, they'd have the Tony Soprano reaction. You know what I mean? So, like, I wonder what it will be like, how, like, the cultural norms will shift when they're of dating age. Well now we know they've shifted And it's like If you're a guy and you pay on the first date You're a bitch or something Yeah you're a little simp bitch You're a simp bitch Cuck Soy boy And a democrat Cuck soy boy democrat Lib She's free food maxing you Free food maxing Jester maxing free food maxing Pocket maxing Pocket maxing I can't even keep up with all this.

17:55I saw a tweet the other day that was just like, clavicular, jester maxed after, and someone retweeted it and said like, yo, things are being said that have never been said before. Like, this sentence would kill someone in the Victorian era. Things are being said that have never been said before. What is jester maxing? Bro, you're, I mean, I'm too old. I don't even know that one. It's just anything maxing is something you're doing better. I do think it's funny. I think it's hilarious. I think the maxing shit is hilarious. And, like, what is this whole shit with, like, jaw muscles? Oh, I mean, this is...

18:31Like, strong gum? The looks maxing thing is, like, now becoming, like, a thing where, like, that kid that you're talking about, like, he would hit his cheek with a hammer so that it would, like... The idea is that you would break the bones and they'd grow back and be stronger and you'd have, like, better cheekbones. So it's all about, like... To be, like, more symmetrical and... Look like fucking Gaston? Classically, uh... That's a bad example. guess that was ripped or traditionally attracted but who pull up the picture of the guy i'm talking about like who would find that like i don't know who but the kid that chews strong gum who the fuck is that oh you're talking about the kid with like the jaws like that yeah oh i don't know who you're talking about you've never seen this dude i saw i saw it on like instagram like world star posted it or something and i was just like this is fucking crazy he's got like balls like you know how like when you're sitting and this is the only time i've done it but like when you're getting a haircut and you're getting it like a shave and you look and you do this you know what i'm talking about you like clench your jaw yeah but you like pop it out to see like maybe i got i put on a little bit of weight so maybe it's not looking like it did when i was 18 years old i can see your head move but you have a beard so i can't really yeah i guess so but like apparently this dude like chews strong gum strong gum like yeah it's like Real sticky.

19:49Like workout gum. Not even sticky, but like, you remember, oh, do you remember the Jawsercise? I was, no. It was called like Jawsercise. It's like a thing you put in your mouth and you like chew and it's supposed to work out this like muscle or something. Why were you working out that muscle, Joey? It was a commercial.

Read the full transcript

29:54How would that even happen? Someone thought, like, this is going to be a big prank, and they dropped a handful of boner pills into the chocolate batch. Isn't chocolate an aphrodisiac to begin with? That's what they say. We've looked it up a ton of times. Chocolate, strawberries, oysters, something like that. I think I'm into strawberries now, by the way. Just deciding to strawberry max on people? I just – I was never really into them. And then the other day I had one, and it was like a fucking apple. It was like a wet fucking strawberry bitch. And I was like – I was like, yo, I'm drinking this.

30:32See, now how do I – what do I even do with that? Come on, man. Take a time out. Dude, you need to have like proper strawberries. Why can't the one that I had be proper? Because it wasn't. Because it wasn't the one that you got. What is a proper strawberry? Like real strawberries are like this big. The ones where they're like apples are not as like, bro, when you taste the ones that are like real, like this big, they taste like strawberry flavoring. I've had a Japanese strawberry. They make, they're like oishis or something like that. I forgot the name of them. I've seen them at like Whole Foods and stuff.

31:03Yeah, I don't know. But like, it's like$20 for a pack of six strawberries. Yeah. We're not there yet. I mean. I mean, some of us. Podcast, pocket maxing on them. Frank, you're not poor. You're not poor. I've never said I was poor. Oh, I can't buy a$20 strawberry. Brother. Pull your fucking sweater down. Yeah, this was a gift. If you're going to make jokes like that. This was a gift from the guy that watchmogged me on fucking stage. Watchmogged. You watchmogged me on stage. I just, I hear what you're saying. I want you to experience the good parts of life. And the best parts of life are better strawberries for you.

31:41I can't do anything without you trying to say that I did it wrong and I need to do it better. I'm not saying you did it wrong, but you could do it better. That's what I meant. Some intense points. I'm going to be honest. I'm trying to better max your life. You're trying to life max me? I'm trying to life max you so you can have, but. Chocolate boner pills. Imagine eating chocolate and you're just hard as a demon.

32:08I feel like that has happened to me before. If I get a good Ghirardelli, like the caramel ones, I'll get fucking steamy penis, dude. dude. I'm for real. What? I don't know why hard like a demon hit me so well. Do you ever get, all right, it's weekly. Yeah. Yeah. So take it easy on the demon boners. I know that, I know that like the, the story, can you just pull up the story? Just type in chocolate and boners. Yeah. Well, actually chocolate. No chocolate recall boners. Yeah. Be very specific because I'm pretty sure that like there, there's a, this is an actual issue because they put too much of it in or whatever this one yes that's four minutes ago holy shit i mean there's there's other stories life-threatening amount of viagra that i didn't know okay that that i understand why it's scary i mean a recall is scary because hold on which ones because i love chocolate i mean if it's called fantasy aphrodisiac chocolate That's boner chocolate Oh yeah No they're trying to go for it Make love making More desirable Exciting and pleasurable I looked it up a little bit On my phone too I think this This was already Boner chocolate Oh They just added Too much Way too much You can Got it You can buy boner chocolate You don't need to get it Prescribed by a doctor Bro they put everything In chocolate Fucking mushrooms Fucking Yeah but like I imagine that Boner pills are Which is hysterical That we're calling I mean they're They're a controlled substance, so you can't buy it over the counter, can you?

33:46I mean, you can get horny goat weed over the counter. Yeah, but horny goat weed is not, I think it's just like an herb. It's like, what's the one that cats use? Catnip? Catnip. It's just an herb. Wait, does catnip make cats horny? My guy. I thought catnip was like a slang for food. No, catnip is a real thing. It gets them ready to fuck. What? I thought catnip was like, just like a, oh, yeah, no, it's their catnip. No, catnip is like a real, it's like horny goat weed, but for cats, dude. What's it for? Why do they need to be? I don't know, to get them ready to fuck. Why do they need to be? They're animals, aren't they ready to go?

34:28I mean, I don't know, I don't know the libido of cats, but catnip is a real thing. Look up catnip. Can you look up and make sure that catnip is like... Yeah, well, there's also a chance I'm wrong. I don't think you are. What is catnip? Don't type in. Just type in what is catnip? What is catnip, dude? What is catnip? Why do we need to specify what is catnip? What does it do? I don't want to see no AI answer. Give me the real fucking thing. It's an herb in the mint native to Europe and Asia, now widespread in North America. Come on. Oh, there it is. Oh, it's ability to induce a temporary state of euphoria or relaxation in many cats.

35:05Is that horny? We don't know. I mean, horny is euphoric. I agree. I agree. Relaxation feels like after horny. It feels like this is, yeah, after the completion of horny. Yeah, then I'm like, all right, I got to take a nap. After the successful completion of horny. After the catnip, I need a catnap. Yeah. I, just so you know, I like what you did there, but that also kind of sucked. I guess it's more like they get high than they get horny. It causes hyperactivity, rolling, rubbing, and playful, silly behavior. This is horny. That's horny, dude. You're getting cats to dry hump? and that's if they smell it but if they ingest it it often acts as a sedative causing relaxation okay so this is kind of like because i remember we had we had like like it was like a catnip like those cardboard like things they have like holes in them they're almost like like scratching posts okay and it had catnip in it and my cat used to fucking go grind up on this thing like it was making dough oh wow yeah so i i yeah i mean it's a safe assumption i mean based on what that that means horny to me i don't know yeah i think that's i think we have seen enough to scientifically say that catnip is meant to get cats horny damn and i'm eating a lot of chocolate this weekend i mean it's easter easter oh so you're just gonna be horny around your family i'll tell you what i i haven't not been horny around my family because of those cadbury eggs Oh my god Oh alright Once I start popping those I'm fucking lit up That's not where I thought That was going I mean I mean We also have been Young boys before I was horny in front of my Not in front But like around my family Because that's where I lived Alright Sorry for being 11 dude Sorry for party rocking dude Yeah sorry for I didn't put the good Housekeeping magazine In the bathroom Someone else left it there Okay and that's all I needed It was horny maxing I was horny maxing Bro I was horny maxing We all were Well, yeah, I got caught like grabbing Becca's butt in front of her family the other day.

37:06Is that crazy? I think it's a little weird. What kind of parents? What's a grab? All right. Did you? Was it the cheek? Or were you like part of her butt? Would it have been her hole? No, because did you come here? Well, that's what I mean. Like some people are like They go in between And kind of like That's crazy to me I don't know who does that I mean some weirdos But I don't do it I mean you go for the Sheep What was So Stop asking me about how I touched my wife's butt No no no not that You brought this I know Wait did Who Did they say anything This question Yeah Becca was just like No what did they say Becca was like babe And then her dad was just like He like laughed Laughed it off Does he laugh like a cat He does Yeah I thought he was Like attacking

39:51That makes sense. But I don't know. I think it would have been way cooler if I got a KitKat, and I'm just eating a KitKat, and I'm like, whoa. Yeah, you're like, whoa, this is a really good Kit Kat. Whoa. Like, this is weird. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That'd be way cooler than... Have you ever eaten...

Yeah, that kid's a fucking nut job, dude.

41:39He's a maniac. Yeah, what's going on? What kind of fuck? First of all, where the fuck was he getting Zeppelis all the time of the year? I got a better question. Why the hell do you know? He told me He's like yo I just go home and I pop open these 12 zeppelis and I just like let her rip on Would he use like the zeppeli powder like it was like gym chalk? No I don't I just like get ready I think that's as far as it went Well good session and then he just But wait Good sessions Wait so he was like watching it for like It was like game tape? Yeah yeah like game tape Just nothing just eating zeppelis and watching like you're watching a cartoon Yeah no he's a porn addict brother When was this?

42:17Is this guy still alive? Like middle school. Middle school? How about a parent? How about one parent? No one's home to be like, hey, not Zeppelis every day. And also, this is the living room. Also, where the fuck was he getting all year round Zeppelis, dude? I don't know. That's a fair question. I don't know why it's his first one, but it's a fair one. I mean, the obvious insanity behind the fucking jerk maxing of his dick with Zeppelis is crazy. Yeah, it's just what he did. I don't know. Everyone has their, you know, it's what they did when they were younger. Everyone has it. I mean, everyone has something, but, like, it's not that.

42:57Yeah, I wasn't watching for him like that. Like, that's a little out there. Like, you're wasting perfectly good Zeppelis. I mean, he's eating them. Yeah, he's eating them. This is a very weird. Is this kid still alive? Yeah, he's still around. What would make you assume that he died? This maniac is sitting there every day eating Zeppelis. His heart's going to fucking explode. He's inside. He's protected. Oh, he might. Yeah, too many Zeppelis will put you down. Bro, the Zeppelis clogging your arteries and then the jerking off bringing your heart rate to a fucking 200 beats per minute is going to kill you.

43:30I don't think. I think it was strictly game tape. I think it was strictly game tape. That's worse, dude. I agree that it's worse. That's way worse. Yeah, like, I don't even know how to, I don't know, that's strange to me. He was view-maxing. I'm getting out of hand now. I need to stop. We all are, to be fair. We need to stop. It's collective. I hope that no one gets, like, seriously heard from this boner chocolate, because that would be sad. It's life-thartening. Speaking of cats, last thing. When Frankie walked in today, I thought his hat was a cat sandwich. Can I see it? I don't even know. And I said the same thing.

44:09I was like, where do you see cats? I don't see cats, but I also don't know what's that. Is that a Sloppy Joe or something? It's a beef sandwich. Okay. I think it looks like a bunch of jumbled cats. I guess. If I squint and turn it sideways, maybe I could see it like a cat. No, no, a bunch of cats. It's a bunch of cats. No, no, no. I get what you're saying. Got it. What? it's a we got it when we when we threw out the pitch for the the buoy bay socks they were like if you want a hat with a beef sandwich on it and i said yeah oh we had the beef sandwiches yeah and had cheese on it yeah i'm very happy about that um sorry last thing on cats yeah sorry yeah uh yeah i don't think anyone's gonna i mean uh hopefully no one they say that like it could lower your blood pressure and then you can you know it's well because it takes your blood and puts it in your penis isn't that what it does yeah i think that what dr mike told us yeah it like sends a lot of blood there it's just like calling all cars calling all cars we need you in the dick everyone get to the penis stat how does it know where to go the blood well i mean when you get a bone that's what's happening yeah but like how do you how does your blood know like how does the pill make the blood know like go to the boner i think it's just a um like circulatory thing yeah Like, it just makes that, like, easier.

45:34So, oh, okay. So it's like your brain knows that you're trying to get a boner, so you take the pill and it works in tandem with the blood, so it knows where to send it. Yeah, it's optimizing. Your brain is playing crossing guard. I thought you were going to... Yeah. What? Your circulatory maxing. No, no. I'm in serious saying I need to chill. I was going to stop. This does feel like something if you were younger you'd be running with. Oh I would have been miserable With this I would have been a not good version of myself With this whole maxing thing Have you ever taken a Viagra or Cialis No I haven't I have the same fear you have That it's going to ruin you I'm going to need it And I'm good Yeah things are alright I'm working That's what I'm saying Don't fix a leaky pipe If it ain't broke don't fix it There it is That's all.

46:27Hey, don't fix a leaky pipe. Let it leak. Let it get all over the ground. Car's broken down. Don't fix it. Don't fix it. Don't fix the busted tire. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. That's what I meant. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But what if you double fix it? What does that mean? Like, you don't just replace a tire. You add spinning rims if you take it. You know? How the hell would that happen? I don't think that's what that does. It doesn't give you, like, a permanent boner. I think, if anything, that's not good. I do know people I don't know them personally But I've heard of people Taking some of the pills like that Cause it's like I'm fucking gonna be on my shit tonight Yeah that's what I'm saying And it's like you really wanna like Really have like one of those crazy boners Like you really wanna be like Yo my You know Like You know Say who You know Do it with your arm that would make more sense for you right i'm not trying to boner max you know you boner max by sitting there baby yeah uh i yeah i i don't know anyone if they do it they don't tell me yeah you know but like i feel like having like a really really really really really really really really hard boner would be painful i think that is like an issue yeah where like that's why they say like after four hours like all the blood is there i mean think of like if If you have something that's cutting off circulation in your finger, all the blood is there.

47:51It's starting to build up a pressure and shit like that. You need to alleviate it. So I imagine it would hurt. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. How do they even do it? Oh, did Dr. Mike say they drain it? Yeah, they drain it with a needle. Chill, bro. Putting a needle into my wiener would be like... It's like how they do cauliflower here. Yeah, I've seen videos of that. That sucks. Oh, my God. Can you imagine? She's like, yo, I just literally can't stop having a boner. I know I can't imagine. I could see that being incredibly painful. But then also, how do you like, you have to like hold it down? Yeah, when you're in the emergency room, you're just like standing like this.

48:31Yeah, I need to see the doctor. I'm fine. I wonder how long that would take. Because the emergency room, have you ever been to an emergency room? Yeah. It could take hours, dude. Yeah. So like how long are they there? Like are you there with just this boner? god forbid someone comes in with a gunshot wound dude so like keep that thing yeah we got to go deal with this guy over here oh man i can't even imagine that isn't it's like four hours if it's if it lasts more than four hours i'll be i'm panicking on an hour dude at 53 minutes i'm gonna go i'm dying 53 that's very specific i know oh because he's big long last guy.

49:17I'm saying the opposite. I'm saying that if my boner lasted, bro, four hours is such a crazy amount of time. I can't even, like, what do you do with a four-hour boner? What do you do with a three-hour boner? The dishes? Can you? You just gotta stand a foot back. Yeah. Whoa! Gotta stand a whole foot back to my giant car Jesus You know what I mean Dude I can't How am I gonna do the dishes from across the room Because I'm so boner You know what I mean You know what I mean Yeah Jesus That's gonna be scary If you were to make how they have boner chocolate Yeah If you were to make like your business Joe Boner something A boner version of a snack or a drink or something.

50:12Because there's like everything is protein now. I would put it in a dessert. Ooh. Because I feel like if you – Like hide it in like a slice of cake like I'm a dog. Well, I wouldn't hide it. Why am I hiding it? I don't know. Oh, like mix it in with the ingredients. Yeah. Oh, I thought the question you were asking me – Yes, I am asking that question. I just forgot. I would put it in dessert because I feel like that's the last thing you eat. like when the meal's over and it's like you had a nice meal it was a candle at dinner you kind of like throw on eyes okay you you specified the dish but like what is the actual item oh um oh i know what joey's would be maybe like an ice cream oh i was gonna i thought you were gonna go tiramisu um tiramisu isn't that sexy because you could choke on the cocoa or whatever that is by you you mean you yeah yeah i've i've almost died at restaurants because of tiramisu i'll get some of that and i'll just like and then the dust hits my back and i'm like yeah and it's like the cinnamon challenge yeah it's bad if a restaurant offered like on the menu on dessert menu it said afrodisiac dessert or something yeah you would you try would you get in it i mean if it's on a menu you kind of need to i think that if if the date was going there yeah i'd be like i feel like i feel like even if it's like you wouldn't want to be presumptuous is what you're meaning like if You know the date is, like, moving in a good state.

51:35Yeah, if, like, we've been, like, looking at each other, and we're, like, rubbing feet and shit, I'm like, you know, get the fucking aphrodisiac dessert in here. Pass me the cake. Yeah, get the fucking ice cream in here, and let's go crazy. Yeah, I mean, I don't know. You need something with spoons, though, because spoons are, like, sexy. I know it. Forks aren't sexy. They're mad sharp. Spoons are, like, you know what I'm saying? You know, like a spoon that's kind of, like, meh. You can do a sexy fork. yeah but i don't like teeth like like when you bite it and they like pull it out i don't like that really when people i eat like that like they bite forks i'm kind of like oh yeah you see them like clean off a spoon fully and you're just like yeah because it's like lip it's like i mean you can lip a fork you could you could you could what would you say the ratio is of sexiness for a spoon this way or this way if it's if it's you know what i mean if it's spoon down like if it's hump up That's sexy.

52:33It sucks. I thought that one was sexier. Oh, like when they do it and they pull it that way. Oh, because you don't want them to be like... That's what I'm saying. Yeah, because it's like... That's what I'm saying. Yeah, no, when you can pull it down, like... Like the ratio of spoon sexiness is very high. I guess that's a great point. I never thought of it that way. But like, you can pull it out that way too. You're just going against the grain. It would like catch your lip. It would like... That's okay. that's alright yeah I mean you know if you got to dessert and it's horny time it doesn't matter what you eat I'm telling you right now what if it's like Cheetos but the dust is like boner dust so after you eat your bag of Cheetos you're just like I will say it would be strange for you to be the one being like you know like because there's no phallic Here, here.

53:31Eat this fucking shit. Take the Cheetos and eat it as if you were me. Babe, eat this for me, okay? Eat it as if you were me. Wait, wait, wait. Now that's a good question. Do they make lady boner pills? I guess it's just... I don't know. That's a great question. Like, do they make, like, lady... Like, because guy boner pills, I guess... Because he is boner. It gives you a boner, but, like, do they make, like, lady boner? Boner pills.

54:03Google lady boner pills. One day we're going to stump you. Is it just like compliments or something? Being kind? Is it just being nice? Being not a piece of shit? A fortune cookie? Being a fucking like, just like thinking about someone's feelings? I think it might be listening or something. Yeah. Guys get Cialis and fucking Viagra and women get just like. Seems like. You did it. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. Just chemicals to boost libido. Is there like a popular one? V-Y-L-E-E-S-I. V-L-Y. V-Lessie? Vlessie? Oh, I think I've like heard of that before. But it's not very. Yeah, I guess it's just dudes. well how are we how are we considered the horny race or race the horny gender but we need bills uh yeah i don't know if you would ask me at like 15 like this conversation would blow my mind i'd be like what i swear to god i just thought i just thought of this right when you just said that if i could ask myself at 15 if at any point we get to a place in the world where we can actually we have the technology to go back in time and ask our younger selves anything that would be the greatest episode of a podcast ever i would be astounded if we can take the 15 year old versions of ourselves edit it oh yeah but just ask them questions and like It would probably be the dumbest thing.

55:53All I pray. We would undo so much that the world has made. Yeah, all I pray is that if that technology does exist, it's like we're getting there, make it just for podcasting. We don't need to make it for anything else. We don't need to have LeBron James talk to himself on draft day. I don't need to know what Abraham Lincoln's voice was like. Yeah, I don't care about that. okay so someone tweeted recently and it was just like you know abraham lincoln's hat went flying at the play that day why would they say that but dude that would be the single greatest episode of a podcast that has ever existed imagine being able to ask 15 old frankie like what's who's the coolest guy in the world like you probably say like something crazy i mean yeah i I would, I would, who was popular when we were in, in 15, in 2007?

56:50You'd probably say like Jermaine Dupri or some shit. Damn. He's still pretty cool. He made it quite the bow wow. So, so, death. Let me on you. We did an episode of that. Maybe we should revisit an episode of that for Patreon years ago where we did like a MySpace. Do you remember that? we did a MySpace quiz, and you wrote what you thought my 15-year-old answer would be, and I wrote what yours was. Remember, Poe de Lica? Poe de Lica. Poe de Lica. No, Joey, you were very minimize-maxing back then. What do you mean? Minimaxing. You'd be like, the answer would be like, what's a big turn-on for you?

57:33And you'd just write like... I was trying to be mysterious. You'd be mysterious and shit like that, where I'd just be like, tits. Well, I would also, I feel like I would like,

57:46I would also like always have some girl that I was thinking about and be like, I'm going to make sure she knows. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That I'm. Of course. And then I would be like, you know. Brown hair. Being able to rip a Superman in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 with Bucky Lassick. Wow. Yeah, that's a pull. All right, we have to go back to Advertise Maxing. Advertise Maxing.

1:02:34That's a great question. I'm going to assume the whole thing. Type in the Costco thing. Like, exactly. They should have it, I assume. Yeah, I'm sure they have the nutrition facts somewhere. It made me type in, like, have to type in a zip code and some shit, so I just went straight raw. Okay. I have the details. Can we guess? Yes. Go for it. I am going to say the whole thing. Well, is it broken down by serving? I do have servings. And how many servings are in? A billion? I don't know. 10 pounds of chocolate? Do you want the answer? I'm going to say it's broken up into about a cup. Serving is a cup.

1:03:10Or is it in ounces? It would be grams, right? Grams. Okay. What are you guessing right now? Is this helping you? No. How many calories are in the whole thing? Yeah. This 10-pound chocolate Costco bunny.

1:03:272 ,600. That is insanely low. 2 ,600? 2 ,600? Like a Kit Kat has like 400 Like the big Kit Kats are like 400 I'm fucking sorry 10 pounds of chocolate Jesus Christ why do you have to fucking Belittle max me I'm gonna say like 12 ,000 Okay There's no way it's 12 ,000 That's too much? I think that's way too much Do you want to change your answer? I'll tell you you're low Alright I'll change it one more time I'm going to say 4 ,200 Would I say 12? Yeah I'll say 12 Total calories 151 servings 22 ,650 calories 22? Yo that'll kill somebody If you have the whole thing Dude it's 10 pounds of chocolate 22 ,000 22 ,000 calories Brother that's more than I have in a week Yeah dude Are you kidding?

Ben and Jerry's crushing that at 1 ,200. I mean. Dude, that is. That's crazy. That's almost like. The amount of sugar. Do you know how much sugar it is? I don't know. I don't have all that. I don't have the breakdown like that.

1:05:17150 servings. So then what's a serving? 100 grams? No. 150 calories per 30 grams serving? 30 grams, dude. I mean, I don't even know how much that is to be honest. I don't know. like if i'm being i would just gnaw on this thing's ear but i don't understand how someone would get this like for serious well because like this would have to be for a classroom of children bro let's get one crack it open right here let's eat a little bit on it i actually i think i have the total sugars here now i think it's 2 ,900 grams yo what that is fucking unbelievable This is kind of like It's over 6 pounds of sugar across the whole across the whole bunny I understand It's 10 pounds and 6 pounds of it is just sugar Yeah I mean it's chocolate Dude I understand things being released for like novelty items This is fucking crazy This is up there with the supercharged lemonade that killed two from Panera You remember that?

1:06:22Yeah It had like 300mg of caffeine in it Are you sure it's hollow? I believe it is. Because it says the novelty factor of this thing is it often requires a hammer to break it apart. Well, yeah, the shell could be so fucking intense. Oh, you think so? Yeah, we need to get one. Can you buy one? Brother, if that thing was solid, it would be 40 pounds. I'll try to get one. Chocolate is dense. I mean... Order it to the studio right now. I mean, is it that much... I mean, of course it's bigger, but is it that much bigger than a chocolate bunny? Like that you would just get I got it You know what you use this for?

1:07:06I'm afraid to hear what you're gonna say You go In the sauna And you lay down a blanket And you go in with that And you put it down And then you and your partner Just roll around in it And just get fucking Covered in chocolate You're a disgusting freak Okay What the hell Are you talking about How is that The thing that Popped into your head Take this thing Into a sauna Let it melt on a towel And roll around In the towel chocolate Because like I'd get in a I'd get in a chocolate Bath though That's basically What this is Yeah I'm going down Like Augusta's Gloop dude If you got a river I'm fucking drinking Out of that bitch Just like imagine Like you're outside In like 100 degree weather And then you're just like You like hug And it's in between you And you just Fucking do it I'll be honest with you that sounds disgusting why because 100 degrees i'm like sweating i'm gross and now i'm there's chocolate involved and i'm sticky and then you just go at it yeah but just like sticky i don't like sticky chocolate's not sticky in 100 degrees i'm sure you'll stick i mean it's like not sticky it's just kind of like thick you know yeah this is this is insane that is so so much i'm into it I am a little disappointed.

1:08:26I think I can get it. Get it. I think I can get it. Do you have a Costco membership? I don't think you need one if you're going online. What is... I mean, you think that'll stop me? Bro, yeah, I think that fucking Dolores at the front. The rules? I would hope so. Bro, the rules? It's got a nerd over here, I guess. Not a nerd! Yeah, but if you ever try to go into a Costco, the fucking Dolores at the front, and she'll kick your fucking head. Yeah, they'll beat the brakes off you if you try to go into that one. I tried to go with my mom. And she's like, where's your... I was like, I'm with her. Yeah.

1:08:55They'll get you. This is kind of like, I don't know why, but this is sad to me. This? Yeah. Like there are people that like can't afford groceries and it's just like, have this novelty 10 pound chocolate bunny, dude. It's$150 also. We'll be fine. Anyone who's buying this to eat it is nuts. Well, instead of buying a bunch for a party, right? Like a bunch of kids you can just buy this big one. Yeah, brother, 150 servings. What do you have at a party with 150 kids? Yeah, what is this, a fucking assembly? Yeah, but once you're having trouble you don't actually just like here's 30 grams. Okay, but still.

1:09:34You don't do that. Okay, but still. So what? Each person's having double the amount. 75 people at this party? Also, children don't like to share. I'm gonna also take this bunny. Oh, a cute bunny. I'm gonna slam it with a hammer. Yeah. This is terrible. That wouldn't be cool when you were younger? When I was younger, right now it would be cool to break this thing apart. Oh, I'm looking forward to breaking one if we can get one. Should I get two? Get two, and let's have a challenge who can punch through it. That's not a good idea. I don't want to. He just looked at the camera and goes, that's not a good idea.

1:10:06I'm afraid for Frankie to have his own because of the ideas that he had already. I mean. For him and his partner. He's going to come in and be like. If I come back. My chest broke out. If I come back. Yeah, I've like broken out and like high. or like some form of like rash. Beck and I rolled around with this bitch. My pores are stuffed with chocolate. I can see. This is crazy. This is like, this is what everyone believes America is. You know what I mean? Where it's just like everything's bigger and it's all chocolate and it's sugar too. I can't, I can't imagine. and also who's selling this? I know it's Costco.

1:10:52Who's the seller? And how much does this cost to make? I see. What's the markup on this, bitch? I mean, actually, I don't know why I grabbed my phone. I can't. How can I find that? How much do you think this is to make? I don't know. What's the cost? Where does it land? Yeah, landed. What's the landing price? What's the landed price? I don't know. It's probably like fucking five bucks. That's bananas, dude. Yeah, it's a lot. Now, if this was stuffed with marshmallow. Or if there was a bunch of jelly beans in there. Then it would be 40 pounds because you'd put 30 pounds of jelly beans in this thing.

1:11:30I cannot wait to eat jelly beans on the weekend. Yeah, you've spoken about your love for the Starburst jelly beans. I don't really care much. Those are great jelly beans. For them. I am ready to be a little prostitute for peeps because I love my peeps. Oh, boy. I like this time of the year, I like drop hints to Becca just to remind her to get me peeps. Because every year growing up, my mom would get me peeps for like every major holiday. Uh-huh. Wait, what? What? Like you get peeps for Christmas? Yeah.

1:12:04Snowman, Christmas tree. Fourth of July peeps. I mean, that was not like a peep holiday. It would be like Halloween. Thanksgiving? No. But like, not every major holiday. Fucking excuse me. Well, I didn't even know they fucking did this outside of Easter. Easter, Halloween. Halloween peeps? They're like little ghosts or pumpkins or Frankenstein. I can't believe you like that. Dude, they're so good. I don't like peeps. Oh, I'm so... And I've gone on record and said the best, like... You know how Oreo makes these, like, cool little flavors? They'll do, like, Cinnabon or, you know... That is such an insane...

1:12:40It's such a good one. But they had it one year for Easter. they had a peeps flavor and it was un-fucking-believable what was it it was just like peeps fluff in between like the peep fluff cream in between the vanilla cookies oh what like a oh like an oreo oh that sounds gross oh yeah do you have a fluff in your house right now no i haven't had that in a while we used to like miles you've had fluff in your house i feel like Yeah. Miles, we used to make them fluffernutter sandwiches. Yeah, yeah. Those are good. Dude, I love fluff. Yeah, fluff is, what is it? It's just like whipped marshmallow. Yeah, it's fucking good.

1:13:20You can make it with your hands. We had fluff for a very short period of time growing up, but I used to get in there whenever no one was looking. Like, I would literally just stick my fingers in it. It was disgusting. I used to, there was like in middle school, there was a girl that like, we were like talking online, and she said she liked fluff, so I went in with a tub of it one day, and I looked at her, and I fluff maxed her. Girl said she liked fluff, and you brought a tub of it. And ate it in front of her. And just didn't talk to her. It was just like. I fluff mogged her. Yeah, you fluff mogged her?

1:13:57I mogged with fluff. Did it work? No. Got it. Hold on. Wait, let's back up before I gave you that answer. What do you think? No. Yeah. What grade? uh must have been like seventh or eighth oh okay young yeah a real dumb ripe dumb age yeah yeah you know we're all doing crazy stuff back then yeah i was i was gonna say i was fluffing it i wasn't doing that um you like fluff no like yeah fluff needs to make those are opposite answers like i i never like not enough to buy it or have it i never really had fluff needs to make a comeback i'd like to see like it is very old school yeah like it's like a very early how everything is like everything is protein everything is dill pickle everything was like buffalo chicken like let's bring fluff back in just marshmallow just like different like fast food chains making like fluff seasonal sandwiches or something like fluff on a burger doesn't sound that bad.

1:15:00I mean, dude. No? I mean, that's a little crazy. Really? Yeah, it's a burger. I don't think so. I think it could be fun. There was at one point I wanted to make a dessert company where, and it was called Spaghetti and Sweet Balls and it would be like dessert pasta. Love that. You could do it. Dessert pasta? Like the noodles would be like spaghetti noodles but maybe cookie or something. The thing that's rough is sauce. Syrup. Thank you. Done. chocolate syrup people do that with uh people do that with uh like pancakes they'll put pancake batter in like a squeeze bottle and they'll make pancake spaghetti yeah it wouldn't actually be pasta like you know it'd be some i don't want to make it myself let the fast food companies make it and then we'll buy it there's a place i used to go to my cousin's house for wild card weekend and there's a place they were ordered pizzas from but they also did dessert pies bro yeah yeah Yeah, everyone has had a banana, strawberry, Nutella pizza pie.

1:15:58No, this would have, like, ridiculous shit on it. Like, I mean, obviously it would be, like, a Nutella, like, pie or whatever, but then it would also just be, like, dude, I don't know. There's, like, fucking chocolate. There's brownie and, like, in the whole – it's, like, a pizza, but it's, like, brownie and fucking marshmallow. And, like, I'm like, yeah, like, s'mores. Now, just imagine how good it would be if, like, a fast food company got it. Why do you love fast food? I'm just saying, like, it's easier when they make it. Oh, my God. You know what would make this idea better? A corporation.

1:16:31They've never... Just, like, in the trusted hands of fucking Wendy's or something. Who trusts them? Yeah. Everyone does. Not I. Why not? I don't know. They are... They're Wendy's. Not necessarily Wendy's. I'm not talking about Wendy's. I bet you'll love it. Wendy's nuts go drag across your face. Yeah. Yeah. We do have to do something, though, because... Yeah.

I was wondering why you kept doing it. I was trying to bring it right back around to it. Give me some credit. Give me some. Right before this episode, I said to Joey, I was like, are we still doing the gothams? because it'll reach a point where Joey's just like, all right, enough. And I think I might have just got us there. No, I mean, you know. He's saying you just be more classy with it. Not classy. Like, he gets over the inside.

We had we were, we had a lot of fruit roll-ups. You always had you always had ice pops and chocolate in your freezer. We always had ice pops. Always had chocolate in your freezer. Ice pops were big in my house. Brother, I remember the first time in college when I realized I can buy those ice pops myself.

1:22:07I had a freezer full of fucking 400 of those ice pops. I really do appreciate how— I took a picture of it because I was so impressed. I'm impressed with myself here. I really appreciate how you can only buy those in the hundreds. It's like a box of a hundred. Because one of them is gone in 40 seconds. When's the last time you had one? Don't even know. They're not great for you, but each one is like five grams of sugar. It's not as bad as you would think. Wouldn't even stop me. There's nothing like a well-placed ice pop. Flavor ice is the one. Yeah, flavor ice. Name your favorite colors from least to most.

1:22:51I got a hot. See, I go back and forth with shit. I got a hot take for you. I feel like your hot take I'm going to agree with. Okay. but i like like the green's very good i like the green but i also like like because it's lime the pink is great the pink is the best one the pink is the best pink is the absolute so i go back and forth from pink but low-key i fuck with the grape all of them are good i love my top two are pink and orange orange was like my favorite man like ice pop flavor as a kid really and then i bit into a creamsicle once and I was forever ruined. Creamsicles are tough. Dude, creamsicles suck so bad.

1:23:30I don't know where we've come as a society that people are just like, you know, what's going to make this ice cream better? A layer of orange. Yeah. Get the fuck out of here. You know, it's crazy. One time I went to the Poconos with Greg and we stopped. Is that not the weird part? It wasn't just us. No, we went to the Poconos as just like a summer vacation thing. And we went to the supermarket there, and we were like buying stuff for the house. And they had ice pops, but they were alcoholic. Dude, each ice pop was 8 % alcohol. Yeah, dude, I've had those. I've had those. They'll get you. Yeah. I had them at the lake, of course, because they're all alcoholics up there.

1:24:12I mean, when I was with you with the 80s theme Top of the Hill Party when we had the ice pops, that's when they had them. Yes. And we were quite inebriated. Good times. I was smoking a cigar. That was probably the last cigar I've ever had. You were, and you had, I'll never forget, it's the video of you dancing, but you're just stepping forward and back with a cigar in your mouth to like, we're in 70s attire. which I don't think you were wearing 70s attire. You just had a bandana on. I had a wig on. Did you have a wig on? I did have a wig on and I had a headband and I had a tie-dye t-shirt. And then that was it.

1:24:51Oh, yes. I remember the t-shirt now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. And you were just, you were smoking a cigar, living your best life. Yeah. That was probably my last cigar. It was also probably my last ice pop. Let's get some ice pops in here. Yeah, that's depressing. Let's get some ice pops in here. We can't have your mouth with an ice pop in front of that mic. There's no way. I don't mean for when we're recording, brother. I would like an ice pop, period. Oh, yeah. Just to have. I got you. Yeah, I got you. Not the alcoholic ones, you freak, because I know he's going to come in and be like, you like those?
