We got Frank Alvarez on the show today. Hey, glad to be here. Really appreciate it. And we got Amprisco over there too in his nicest shirt. That is a really nice shirt. I actually do like that shirt. That is a nice shirt. What kind of material is that? I think it's knit. Take it off. If I come over there and I rub on it, am I going to get high? Rub on it, it's a weird way to say. That's like a humping thing.
1:05I'm not going to hump you. This? I think you might enjoy yourself a little. Can I see? See what? The shirt. I'm not getting up. How are you doing today, Frank? I'm doing well. I really appreciate you inviting me here. Excited for what we got to unfold today. And, boy, let's get right into it. Frank, it says you're working on a new project. Is that right?

1:44And these are the tour dates. Guess what we did? Fucked it up. We weren't supposed to put it... We weren't supposed to say it then. We were supposed to say it today, so we're doing it again. So, Joey walked in today and... Well, was this why you said you were going to be a little late? Yeah. Okay. because i was on the phone and you were greg called me and he goes why are the tour dates out and i said what it's like what what do you mean they're out yeah yeah i wasn't even thinking i don't even know how this happened to be honest with you but i mean listen he walked joey walked in and he goes that's on me guys yeah and and and and he's like i'm like what what happened oh yeah and aunt didn't tell me because you're gatekeeping information for me i don't know what wants to be said if i'm told something i mean obviously he knows imagine if it has to do with the basement yard i should know no uh but yes so last week on our last weekly episode which was episode who knows it's a number i have it i have it 558 558 good time are you taking a cocktail no what is that red bull vodka it is a cocktail you do have a clubbing shirt on right now you definitely don't have a clubbing hat though yeah that's a mickey mouse hat that is a mickey hat that says network can i ask a question new york hat how much mickey mouse merch do you have over there over under let's go by hats over under two forget about hats i want overall pieces of clothing like uh four no you're not a lot i've seen way more than a lot a lot of pieces of clothing six six overall you just went from two to six i said four six seven maybe seven oh my god this can we just to be safe in case you're forgetting can we make it an even eight sure why not just in case what color is your toothbrush white and navy blue what about you red and white okay i'm realizing now that i had no reason to ask that
3:36i got mad curious for some reason it just like lit up in my head and then i like asked you and I was like, ooh, I got nothing. And then I went there. You were hoping that in our responses there was something to jump off of. I was just. Well, what color is yours? Let's finish it. It's black. What? What an incredible groundbreaking contribution to this show. First of all, that was a racist look on your face. Don't do that. It's a black toothbrush. Big deal. Is that not weird? No. Why is that weird? If anything, you thinking it's weird is very weird and racist. Why is it? Yeah, you're racist. Honestly.
4:10What color are the bristles? White. They can coexist, Ant. I know how much you hate that Is that not weird to have a black toothbrush? They're working together to get the job done That's a very normal thing Why? Do you think because it's like white toothpaste And it looks like shit? It's just a weird I've never seen a black toothbrush It's like a Yeah a zippy Oh you got Yeah yeah yeah Oh you got the manual going? Do you have a buzz? I got a Electric toothbrush I got a quip I use that Okay You got old school going? I got old school I transitioned to I'm gonna do the one that you bite down completely and it goes right here.
4:45Oh, come on, brother. Just get fucking new teeth at that point if you need to do that. Get dentures. Maybe. The idea of having dentures is not terrible. Yes, it is terrible, dude. But if you like... Bro, look at... Yo, take all my teeth out when you circumcise me and I'll never know any... What? What I'm saying is like... Hold on, hold on. No, you hold on. When you're a baby and you get circumcised, you're like oh i don't even know but like i'm circumcised i said but if i could have the option of like yo just take all my teeth and let me get new dentures every every two years like a like a new lease on a car and you got perfect teeth you know babies aren't born with teeth i know that's the problem technically they are um all right technically technically they are yo do teeth grow in your face yeah dude have you ever seen the x-ray of someone with like no teeth pull it up it's gonna make joey squirm it's so gross an x-ray like not an x-ray it's like a picture of a skull and it shows you what it looks like don't look at the tv look at me uh i was gonna ask you a question but now i don't remember we're talking about teethless skeletons right now oh um dude the idea i don't think you realize how much of your face is structured around the fact that you have teeth if you lose that then you look like a just a toothless loser no but i'll i'll have what the fucking ass is that baby skulls have so many teeth milk teeth and permanent teeth that's what a baby's face is?
6:12If that's real. Also, absolutely heartbreaking that they have a baby skull. I mean, I'm assuming. No, it's like a model. Oh, okay. I've seen it's like this, because you lose the teeth and then they grow. Like, there's a lot of teeth. Ew, dude! This thing's looking like a fucking predator! I think I saw something that, like, Japan has just like, tried out an experimental drug where they can just like, regrow teeth now. Sick. You just, like, anywhere you want? Like, I get a tooth in my elbow? No, Joey. Ew. I don't know. Ew. There are people that were in the womb, if they were a twin and they resorbed their twin, they'll find a mass sometimes on people that has hair and teeth in it and stuff like that.
6:47Hell yeah. No. But yeah, so our mistake, we are a unit here. We, as a unit, accept criticism and when we're wrong. No, we will. I will ride with him. I will die with him.

January 15th will be in Newark, New Jersey. And then February 5th will be in Red Bank, New Jersey. I don't know why I said like I was Mumford and sons. And his son. February 23rd and February 24th we're doing two shows in Vancouver which will be a lot of fun by the way my birthday is the 25th so these are going to be like birthday shows the 26th we'll be in LA so we'll be in Los Angeles on February 26th and then our last show that we have booked right now is March 12th in Chicago at the Chicago Theater but yeah these are the shows that we have so far there'll be more coming there may be a little break after that but we're gonna be booking more shows so maybe at some point during this year there'll be more shows if you're like hey you're not coming to boston or something or whatever but i don't know maybe we don't know we can't guarantee may we also take a moment seriously to extend our sincere apologies to greg we we did fuck this up and we're sorry we know that you asked i think of all the things you asked of us the easiest one of them was just not to fuck it up to be fair to be fair we did fuck it up he printed he did print he did and he told us when we when we filmed something the day before like tomorrow tomorrow on the episode right so like he did he did but also he's he's got a lot going on He's got a lot of plates spinning, and it could be a lot more difficult for him than it is for other people.
11:39So we apologize, Greg. Let this be the first and last time we apologize to you. Oh, don't promise that. I don't even want to. I will never apologize again, even if I shoot Joe in the back of the head. Hmm. Interesting. Write that down, yeah. Let's get that on tape. But we're really excited. And just to reiterate, this is the first batch of shows. So if you're seeing something and you're seeing like, oh, besties, when are you going to come to Albuquerque? We don't know. We don't know. But what is available is what we have and what we know is what's available. If you want to wait, that's on you.
12:20I'm not going to tell you what to do, but we have seen in the past you guys are incredibly supportive. And sometimes they go quick. We'll just tell you that you might want to get in on the presale with the code basement. not cap sensitive it could be uppercase lowercase you could spell it like joey used to spell things on myspace and aim back in the day used to do it too wednesday june 17th at noon okay 12 p.m that's a good day eastern because then right after they can on 3 p.m watch the sand i got a studios video which i'm it's it's available that is true you could have your tickets on wednesday june 17th at noon streamlining this stuff for you guys and then at three o 'clock you're so that week you're getting monday weekly episode wednesday you're getting the tickets and the standing out of stoomiums and then friday you get exclusive patreon episode if you're a two or two on patreon on patreon.com slash the basement yard yeah so there's a lot going on there so yes the basement.com and uh here just to for so people know um the pre-sale is for us that's where we've sold a lot of our tickets so the only difference between this is that this one you need a code for The code is basement, so the tickets will be first available to anyone who has that code, our fans.
13:34So that is the code is basement. Wednesday, June 17th at noon, put in the code. Boom, you could access tickets. General on sale is whatever's left from that, which at that point you won't need a code anymore. And that is basically June 19th. So June 18th at midnight, it will switch from pre-sale to general sale. So by the time the 19th comes around, you could just go onto the site and buy tickets without having a code. I don't know why they do this. I don't know why it's the setup. It's an industry thing that we're not high on the totem pole to understand this stuff. We don't get it. And even if they told us, we don't care.
14:11I don't want to know information. And again, we're sorry, Greg. So go check it out. TheBaseBernyard.com. By the time this is up, hopefully, I imagine that the website will be fully updated. and crisp and clean and polished. We're excited. And they'll see the photo shoot we did. And also, oh yeah, that's a big part of it too. Also, brand new show. Brand new show. Brand new show. We have been sitting and brainstorming, trying to make sure that we give you guys a wholly unique brand new show that is an experience that you will not get at any other show, even during the same tour. So like each show is going to be unique.
14:50Yeah. So yeah, we're trying to sell it. What? Also, we're sorry, Greg. so that's gonna yep there the the show that we uh have put together now is like also very different than the other shows that we've done i think it's going to be way more fun it's more interactive we're also better we're better because we're better on stage now we're seasoned vets we're well we're seasoned how would you want to be seasoned give me your three seasons that you want seasonings you want on you i'm doing a thing here frank oh sorry okay forgive me for asking a podcast question we're doing a but with chimichurri by the way oh but that's a collection of seasonings summer it's a sauce summer that's a you're going to the don't point at him i'm not allowing you to laugh at him like that i'm not even i do you want me to defend you no for what did i do nothing exactly that's the point he just victimized you on your own show yeah remember you could fire him i could fire him or we could force him to buy tickets on Wednesday, June 17th at 12 p.m.
15:52Eastern. Ant said he's going to buy at thebasemanyard.com from a pre-sale code basement. Ant said he's going to buy and give away a whole show of tickets. Imagine.

I'm joking around. It's just because I'm looking at you. Yeah, honestly, always hungry. So you'll never get a no out of me. You enjoy chicken nuggets? Boy, do I, dude. If you see a plate of chicken nuggets, you have a favorite.
33:37Are they dino-shaped? No, they're this shaped. Here we go. If you see a plate of chicken nuggets here, which one do you think would be the best? Which one are you picking? Oonk. Oonk, oonk, oonk. Oh, I have an answer. Easy. I have an answer. What about the worst one? Let's go worst first. Worst first? I think it's easy. Easy. We disagreed on these kind of things before. I think we all agree here. Okay. Honestly, worst. Easily. Easily. Okay. Okay. My worst one? Worst? I'm going to say E. No, dude. No. I was going to say G. What the fuck is that? It's not even a nugget. It's a fucking circle. It's not a number.
34:18It's a letter. I said it's not a nugget. I was going to say either E or P because P looks like it hasn't been cooked. Oh, P looks like shit. What about C? It looks raw. I mean, C doesn't look right. That is definitely a lighting issue. You think it's a lighting issue? 100%. But it's a good size. Look at G. What the hell is this? I think we could argue. I think E, C, P are bad. G is not that bad to me. G is getting golden. G is not that bad to me. You're not thinking about the shapes. The shapes absolutely matter. Okay, let's go to the best one. There's a unanimous best one here. We're going unanimous.
34:56I will say the best chicken nugget on this board is O. It's big. It's the shape of a nugget. And it's got that brown. It's going to be crunchy. It's going to be hot inside. Am I crazy for thinking that it might be A? A! Oh, no. That's horrible. Why is that horrible, dude? It's deformed. No, it's not deformed. I mean, that's what you want out of a chicken nugget. It's supposed to... It's goop that's been breaded and dunked. No, I don't like that. D? D's good. D is F! No, D's good. It's too small. No, it's not too small. Look at this small. It has a good hook to this. F is better than D. I'm going to fucking F your D if you don't shut up and listen to me about A.
35:39Listen, M is good too. I was, M would be strong number two. M is a good one. M is good. M is good. You're old though, bro. What's wrong with O? I mean, it's good. I'm not saying it's the unanimous best. You're sitting here and you're planting your fucking staff in the ground and saying that it's O. I think there are top five here and me and you picked like one and like two and three. Frankie didn't even, Frankie picked like five. Would you pick C? I said A, I thought it was quite. A is the weakest. It is such an ergonomic design. That's a perfect, like, dunk and curve with it up. And it holds, it will maintain the sauce better than, if a sauce was running off O, and what did you say, J?
36:23J could suck it. No, you said. I think I said J. I said D, which you complimented me on. D's a good one. I'm not going to sit here and say it's bad. I don't like J. I do think, A, it just feels like it has more of the breaded texture. It looks like there are clumps of breading on D. It's inconsistent. It is. At least O, and O has like the wavy breading too. You know what I'm talking about? That's good. And it's big. It's a meaty bitch. That's what you want out of it. I think D will have a crunch every bite. Yeah, but you're - You couldn't eat meat at a certain point. You couldn't just have crunch.
Read the full transcript
36:52Yeah, he's right. You have too much crunch. but like shit like e and l and g like these are these are this is now this is popcorn chicken it's not even a chicken nugget also what's wrong with your oven like these are two different batches of chicken nuggets i agree with how poorly these are cooked i'm into f uh f is not bad f is not bad i think fat full diaper f is not bad honestly i also don't hate g i'm not into it I don't hate it. I would like leave it I would eat it when I was like fucking pissed M is also pretty solid M is solid. M is a solid one If I was making two plates I would give my brothers like B, C, H, E I'd throw them a J because you gotta give them one good one and then P.
37:38You know? Give them all the bad ones I'll be honest with you I'm eating the whole plate of these bastards in record time I think I is like underrated I is a good one You're getting more of a consistent Let me ask you guys this question as we are continuing to parse through this best fast fry nuggets what you say you said best fast sorry best fast food nuggets oh oh um burger king oh no oh i honestly don't know i don't i don't dislike burger king i don't know the answer i think burger king you could get 10 of them for a dollar 49 well i mean those can't be good. I mean, I was gonna say, if we're going price, I mean, everyone here is going to sit, everyone that listens to this is gonna scream fucking Chick-fil-A through the screen.
38:27I've never had it. I've had Chick-fil-A, dude, so aggressively okay, dude. Wow. And they hate the gays. Don't like that. They don't fuck with the gay? Nah, dude. They don't get down with the gayness? They're not. Down with the gayness! Down with the sickness. But, whoa, so you say it's a sickness. No, the song. No, no, no, no, no. You say that. Don't do that, don't do that, don't do that, don't do that. The song. Right as we're going on tour. The song. No, no, it's not. It's the cure. Gay is the cure. It helps us all. The bad is the cure. I would say, if he's talking about the chicken fries from Burger King, that's probably the best.
39:09Those are good. Those are all right, actually. I know, I know, and everyone is going to say, like, have you guys even seen the videos about chicken nuggets they're made? the chicken mcnuggets from mcdonald's are legendary for a reason you're getting a consistent flavor a consistent crunch i mean so wait what's your favorite what's yours it's probably mcdonald's they're good they're fine i actually enjoy like nuggets that come out of my freezer like bagged shit brother yeah i'm if it's a dino nugget i'm like that's an incredible nugget bro also i just want to say this i've i've only ever tasted this at mcdonald's but the sweet and sour sauce the green top at mcdonald's gave me and poured in
40:15that shit is delicious it is a great it's a great sauce i um it's not even sour it's just sweet i i'll be honest with you first of all it was so hard to see where you were going there yeah not even top five sauces that mcdonald's has oh frankie do they even have five the best sauce that they have without a dizzy bard is the barbecue the barbecue is good then their buffalo no it's crazy no it ain't better than the sweet and sour bro sweet and sour is one of the worst sauces i'm gonna come over there and strangle you do it i had it's not i i can tell you there is bad sweet and sour sauce like some places have a sweet and sour sauce i'm like the hell is that But the one at McDonald's is mad good.
41:05It's rage bait. He's rage baiting. I'm not rage baiting. I'm dead serious. If they sold bottles of the McDonald's barbecue sauce, I might bathe in it. That shit is incredible. It is a good barbecue. And I know. I know. Everyone's screaming at us. Guys, it's not real. Like, fucking who cares? We're at McDonald's. We're all dying. We're all dying, dude. I do. Sweet and sour sauce is so low tier for me. That's crazy. It's so low tier. You don't know. I mean, I probably said this before. but you know what's just overrated like crazy and not even near my top five ranch i like ranch but it's fine people go crazy i keep a little ranch yeah look what's this hear me drinking a cup of ranch no i don't think it's have any personality let me guess i don't talk to me for my coffee also we'll say this also about mickey d's when you get ketchup out of the little paper cup it just tastes better like the one that's like paper i like when i have to like dispense it like i'm an old-timey guy at a water well you know it's like yeah i don't know yeah yours is like you definitely need some wd-40 on yours you know what i'm talking like i know and it's like fucking like spits out at you i love that oh dude bring back condiment dispensers i know people don't eat in those places anymore because they have my baseball games do they bro i also hate that honestly like when you go to yankee stadium you're like getting a hot dog and they're like oh yeah then the fucking the ketchup's two gates down fuck you what do you mean put it on it right now put it on now can i have sauerkraut yeah go to the communal bin outside the bathroom brother that's where it is fuck and then you get over to the fucking ketchup and it's a murder scene because people are like yeah fucking shit i mean i'll be honest i'm one of those people are you slapping it down i'm hitting that if you're gonna give me like slap activated condiments they're not gonna activate their slaps they're slap activated and i love doing them hard enough so it makes like a crater a ketchup in the in the thing yeah but then it farts everywhere all over your head a little stinky ketchup on me is not gonna fucking ruin the day ketchup is great bring back the greatest ketchup invention that has ever existed disgusting you guessed it it was the green and purple easy squirt ketchup from the early 2000s it's honestly nasty honestly the best not good and i know your gimmick is that you hated it well i just think that it's like a if i'm looking at down at a burger and there's like green or purple all over it i'm like the fuck is this and you're not gonna eat it i mean i'd give it a go but i'd rather it be the color i'm expecting and you think the color that you're expecting is red like a tomato yeah i guess so He's right.
43:47I mean, the green one was like dill pickle flavor. The purple was... Was it flavored? I thought it was just ketchup. I think they had one that was like a dill pickle flavored one. Do we do our annual Google it check-in? Because we do this, what, a couple times a year? You know what I'm really interested in lately? Relish. Sweet relish. Grow up. I don't even know what it is. Actually, no. What is relish? It's like sweet chopped up pickles. Fucking good. I don't like sweet pickles. Dude. You know how I am a gutter slut for fucking sauerkraut, dude. Have you ever had relish? Like the bottle? Yeah, I don't like it.
44:19Bro, the relish comes out of the bottle farting like a bastard. It's a stinky, spitty, farty fucking condiment. There's no way to get this on your ketchup without it farting all over it. And like when it's filled. Because like when you have like empty ketchup and you do the last couple, it's like... They all fart. Yeah. But like relish? Consistently queefing on it. All... When we went to the Yankee game recently, I got a hot dog and I put ketchup and I was like oh they got relish let me put some relish and it was just queefing it's like yeah it is and a little goes a long way it's a spitty bastard I mean I just I've never been a guy for like I just don't like the taste of sweet pickles just try a little bit a little bit goes a long way with a queef with a relish what with a relish what What?
45:14A little goes a long way with a queef. No, with relish. You get a little bit? Nah. I'm alright. I'm okay. As I'm getting older, I'm adding more things to my hot dog. I know, and I guess I'm fine. Sourcrap's right around the corner. I know. I mean, I don't know why you don't start with sourcrap. I'm okay with it as long as you're in the game. I'm in the game. You're in the game. You're fully dogged out. Yeah. And I'm cool with it. you dog how you like maybe that will be the next year the five years of dog sucking season for 2027 it'll be dog get dogged out how you like dog it your way however you like it get dogged by it it's a work in progress yeah we're definitely gonna workshop that a little bit a little well you know what i had recently uh this past weekend a brioche bun hell yeah uh not a hot dog a hamburger with a brioche bun.
46:07Hell yeah. Bro, I love them, but my god, it's like eating a fucking loaf of bread. I will say this, and it has not happened yet. I am cautiously optimistic about a pretzel bun on a burger. Because I love pretzels. A pretzel bun that's got the flakes on the top? Dude, I am so in on salt on a bun. Hawaiian! What are those called? The Hawaiian rolls. Why are they Hawaiian? What are they? I think it's just a branding thing. I don't know. Dude, we made some dinners with those. What you do is you cut the bottom half, put them in a pan, then you put raw meat on top and then the top on, like cheese and then the thing on it and then you cook it in the oven like it's a fucking burger and it comes out.
46:54It'll... Hawaiian buns are fucking great. Yeah, I'm kind of on board. When people make like pulled pork sandwiches on them. Oh, don't even piss me off. God, I love them. Oh, okay. I didn't know if they're pissing you off. Oh my god. Sliders are great. You don't like sliding? I like sliding. I think that the thing that sliders is like, sometimes I just want a whole burger. That's why you eat three. I could eat 12 sliders off fucking rip, dude. No one's stopping you. I feel like I'd be a piece of shit if I did that, though. Just give me two of my own burgers instead of 12 communal sliders. I like a slider.
47:39I guess. Ooh, I would like a burger flight. We just talked about flights. Oh! Can you imagine, like, bison burger, cheeseburger hamburger. I'm out on hamburgers, by the way. I don't think... Almost a burger. Just, I mean... You're right there. You were upstaged by your cooler cousin who has cheese on them. And, like, just put it on. Yeah, I guess I don't understand the whole idea of hamburgers. like you're just just go just go i understand people like i'm lactose bro so am i take some diarrhea be a man about it or lady or a nice woman be a man shit your pants yeah be a man or a nice woman and shit your pants with with diarrhea with the lactose intolerance who cares it's one sheet of you know you know where i'm starting to come around oh you're changing stuff i'm not changing but like i'm seeing more of an appreciation for it in my older years breakfast burgers with just like an egg on the bitch just throw an egg on it and it's a burger because realistically i know i know i know you should start the day with like a healthier thing to like jumpstart your system and like it shouldn't be as heavy but like if i like an over easy egg and grits what's the difference between having it and then throwing it on top of a cheeseburger i mean you make a fair point i also don't think that the laws of health should apply if you're visiting a city.
49:03Health only matters when you're eating in your home. That's it. It definitely doesn't matter at any sporting event. No. It absolutely does not matter on vacation. No. If I'm not in the state that I live in, I'm fine. Yeah. Also, if it's a brunch. Yeah. I think we know that. Well, you say on brunch, I eat normal stuff. The confines of your healthy lifestyle are within the confines of your home. Yeah. Going out to eat, for the most part, I think you're pretty health conscious when you go out to eat. Like, we'll be at a restaurant. You'll be like, let me get the grilled chicken. This fucking guy.
49:45Oh, I love him to death. I'm going to call him out. Me? No. Mikey. I love him so much. Yeah. And the dude is absolutely shredded like a bag of mozzarella. He really is. but like anywhere we go oh i'll get the avocado toast brother and listen if you're gonna order the avocado toast order the avocado toast oh i'll get the falafel wrap please mike wait i've had good falafel i know i'm not arguing i know falafel is good i don't like please man for fucking once get a cheeseburger i just don't like how he sells the avocado toast oh that looks good it's the same Why? Because they put pickled red onion, which I'm a fan of, on it and some microgreens.
50:32Yo. Oh my god. Mikey, low-key pickled red onions? So clutch, dude. What the fuck? So good, dude. So good. You know what's gonna fucking just absolutely bend you over and spit directly straight through your asshole out your mouth? Pickled jalapenos. Ooh, I do like those. Pickled jalapenos are going to light a Christmas tree on fire and take the presents. Like the Grinch. You know what I'm saying? I do. Anything pickled. I went to a farmer's market in Asbury Park. No, pickled eggs. Fuck out of here with that. No, pickled eggs, pickled eggs. Pickled eggs are disgusting. Pickled beets too. Love pickled beets.
51:14Pickled beets. Now we're pretending. No we're not. Pickled beets are good. That's like eating a wet shirt. That's what eating pickled beets is like eating a red shirt. like out of the laundry. I don't know why that's so funny to me. It's gross. I don't like, like beets are like, ugh. I could see what you're saying. It'd be like chewing on a freshly tie-dyed t-shirt. And I also, I also like, every time I eat a beet, I'm like, I was expecting this to be different. I was on your side and then Becca has turned me around on beets. She turned me out on beets. Which, oh, you like beets. I love beets now, dude.
51:54Yeah, I can. I love beets. She has made some of the best beets. Like, she did, like, roasted beets and balsamic and feta cheese once. Balsamic can make anything taste good. I had a balsamic marinated steak for the first time the other day. Oh, fuck. Balsamic is so good. What is that shit? Grapes. Nice. It is grapes. Balsamic is fantastic. But I don't understand how it's grapes, but it's grapes. But it's grapes. Don't ask me what balsamic is. But it's grapes. No, it's good. I fucking love that shit. Balsamic also just pairs so well with a piece of mozzarella. When it's thick and it's like a drizzle.
52:37When it's like a syrup. When it's like a syrupy, drizzly glaze. I hate it when it gets on my hands and that pisses me off. Can you tell we're hungry? Oh my God. Can you tell? A fucking sticky balsamic. A sticky like fig balsamic. Yeah. Fig. Frank, don't make it. I know how you feel on figs. Bro, the other morning, listen. Wow, you tucking it in? I'm fixing my boner because of fig. You got a fig boner. Yeah. Okay. But I don't like figs. I like figs. Becca turned me out on figs. She's opened my life to so much, a lot of it food-related. Figs? Also, you said turned me out on figs. I know. That's obviously a joke.
53:19I didn't know if you were doing it as a joke or doing it because of incorrect. It was a joke. It was fully a purposeful joke. Purposeful joke because it's grapes. Because it's grapes. We do have more sponsors. Let me get to those before we continue with this conversation that I have no idea where it's going. We have Magic Spoon. Magic Spoon. These things are like magic, okay? They are unbelievable. If you don't know Magic Spoon, they make a cereal, okay, that is high protein, zero sugar cereal. All right. You want to start your day. This is what you want to do. And they're delicious. You would think that something like this, like, oh, maybe it doesn't taste.

57:59With mosquitoes? Yeah, with like, they were going to, like... This is just hitting me as I'm saying this. Google has 30 million mosquitoes? Wait. How do you have a mosquito? Yeah, wait a sec. 30 million. Google, how do you have 30 million? You are very famously not in the keeping of insects or bugs or animal business. Where are you keeping these 30 million mosquitoes? If Google is doing anything, I want them to be like, we're releasing a search engine that will just show you pictures of puppies. Yeah. Like only pictures of puppies. You can type in anything you want. It could be like, you know, potholes in western Tennessee, and it'll just be pictures of puppies.
58:45They're releasing them in two teams. 16 million going to California, 16 million going to Florida. What are they combating? I'm trying to find that I heard it's like a disease that is being spread Via mosquito bites And the idea is that They're basically sending out Mosquitoes whose fish don't swim You catch my drift? Oh, jizzless ones? Like they are just like They are just no jizzies Oh, I honestly thought it was more sinister than that Oh, you thought Well, I mean it's Google So you never know I thought that they were like We're gonna inject these things And they're essentially gonna Yeah, Google, why do you have 32 million?
59:25Where do you keep 32 million mosquitoes? Where do you... How do you even get a mosquito? It's like, yeah, we're just going to open the door to our basement and like... What? You leave a bunch of fruit out or something? And also, how are you transporting 32 million mosquitoes? And what is... Well, you get them in a jar. What does 32 million mosquitoes look like? Yeah, it's probably like dark. Like a... Like the completely like... I don't know. Like if you had them in a jar... Oh, maybe they just like have like a farm and they had mosquitoes and they let them mate all the time. But then how do they get them to have their nuts not work?
59:56Because I saw that it's like the guys, they're sending them out there and they got no nuts. And then like... Can we confirm? I'm trying. I'm trying. It's a lot happening at once. I saw this. The idea is that they're going to mate with the females and the eggs are going to be basically, they're not going to work. Shoot blanks. Yeah, they're going to shoot blanks because they got no nuts. They don't individually chop off every mosquito nut. What they do is infect them with a specific virus that makes them sterile. More virus! Oh wow And they're combating What's the What's the virus It's called Being a fucking
1:00:31I got it Just leave me alone Give me a sec Being a fucking incel Alright To make them sterile You're saying It's called Alright we'll try Walbachia Nope Nah dude That's a Baltic country Shit I thought he was doing a gotcha No, no, no, I'm serious That's why I said no But the virus they're fighting, I couldn't find it because It's fighting them all, essentially West Nile, Zika, malaria It's trying to get rid of a bunch I mean, that is good Wait, wouldn't we get more mosquito bites, though? I mean, yes, but you're getting fine mosquito bites You're not getting the ones that are going to be Harmful to you and or your unborn child They specifically asked that question because they knew someone wearing a hat would.
1:01:22Did they say anything about the sleepless shirt in there? It's all the same. They were building a character. They're building a character. These don't bite. So they're biteless, ball-less mosquitoes that are just roaming around. What are they even for? Like grandpas? For this? So they got dicks, but they got no balls and they got no mouth. Are you even listening? Honestly, I'm on board now because I feel like once a year, you always hear, We're releasing 100 ,000 mosquitoes or a million mosquitoes. I have never in my life heard that. It's like they've done this like 4 ,000 times. What? Does it work?
1:01:54They keep doing it. I don't think so. Maybe it's like one of those things. I've never, ever heard them do this. You've never heard them do this? Well, maybe they're getting better at it. They're called the good bugs. Wait, why are they doing it in Florida and California and not New York? And why does Google have a surplus of fucking limpless, dickless, jizzless, mouthless fucking mosquitoes? That's a fair question. Dude, you're Google. Just let us look up stuff on your websites. They have access to too much information, so that's how they're able to... They're like bored. They're like Jeff Bezos now likes to race cars.
1:02:27That's what they're doing now? He's racing cars? I don't know. Frankie Munez. You mixed up Frankie Munez and Jeff Bezos.
1:02:39Completely different planets. I mean, two cultural icons. What do you think this program's called? Uh, Project Suck 'Em. Got it. I don't know. Project Let the Bed Bugs Bite. Got it.
1:03:01Buzz. Project Cousin Ski-Do. It's just called the debug program. Okay. I will say all three of those are better than that. Yeah, run him by Frankie Muniz. Run him by Frankie Muniz. See if he's on board. Cousin Moski-Do. that's pretty much what's going on i mean yeah no that's weird to have all those but i used to have a fruit fly problem everyone has had a fruit fly problem at one point explain this to me about fruit flies because every single time they just they're they're there do they are they born out of food i think i think i think legitimately like i think that because i'm like my entire apartment is sealed and if i leave food like in the trash or whatever like they'll just appear in the trash so to my understanding which could be proven quite possibly to be not real or not a lot um i i believe that food does come sometimes like organic specifically too because they don't spray him with pesticides to prevent stuff like that like there might be eggs there might be some eggs and larvae in there so you might be munching munching and crunching on some bugs before you even know it i'm sure we are have you ever seen a video on tiktok of someone washing fruit and they show the water afterwards i'm like jesus love it love it love it love it yeah but they like really do a deep clean i do sometimes it really depends on my mood i do sometimes with berries i have like that like thing that you like press down and it spins it i love that fucking thing i do too the salad washer yes dude i get that thing i swear to god i have convinced myself i'm this close to splitting the atom with bro legitimately when i'm fucking doing this thing i'm like oh my god i'm like i'm i'm pushing on that thing and it's like yeah the fucking romaine lettuce in this thing is pulling 5g yes it really really is like yo we're dry it's that fucking thing at all like six flags and all the amusement parks where like the walls go fast and then the kids like try to like turn upside down and they get yelled at by like the 14 year old that's operating the ride shouldn't happen i'm convinced that if i do it hard enough it'll just like take flight i am too i swear to god i just love to feel that power that i have made something like that to like i'm fucking spinning it and it's like oh and i'm like yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:05:10Yo, spinning shit is fire. Dude. Now that I think about it. One of America's greatest pastimes, spinning, tops, yo-yos. You like tops? Dude, tops are like. Bro, I remember the first time I got my hands on a dreidel. I was like, yo. You. I don't know what any of those stuff means on it. I love when they would do like those toys that were like, you put them on top of a stick and you pull a fucking string and they fly in the air. Yo, I almost killed my sister with one of those ones. Because like smacked her in the face? Yeah, because it was like a little fairy. And then when she spins, her thing opens up.
1:05:43Yeah, yeah, yeah. And she like, I fucking ripped this thing like a Beyblade and it hit her in the eye. Yo, those things are serious. They could really hurt somebody. Did you see the video? Of it going into the fire? God, it's so good. The dad got it for his daughter as a gift. They spin it and it just slowly flies into the fireplace. Yeah. Ours, we would just like rip as hard as we could. Dude, I'm not kidding. In that moment, anytime I've ever used one of those, child to a current adult, I am the strongest person on the planet I am pulling that thing with such force and ferocity that it is immeasurable by any societal or scientific standard that we have that was a long sentence big sentence you'll be fine
1:06:28you'll be fine I used to love those though yeah I'm not fully on board with project debug project debug i i have more questions than i like i hope it can be good and beneficial for people but we'll fuck this up i just don't i i do feel like mosquitoes like me everyone likes you but i think that mosquitoes think i like i have a certain kind of blood they can smell you they can go oh he's sweet and sleeveless and then let's go suck his blood yeah if you're showing that much skin they got more to bite uh yeah selfishly sierra has all the best active and outdoor brands you need.

1:13:18if you tape your hand to an umbrella and go in a tornado will you fly away no bro have you ever stood outside with an umbrella the thing inverts immediately if it's too fucking It's such a, honestly, such a fucking, like, so disappointing that you can't have more fun with umbrellas. What could that mean? I'm not saying that I need to fly, but I need to get, I need to fall slower with an umbrella. Oh, I agree. Like, it needs to be good to the point that, like, it does something. I'm with you. I think that we should be able to at least do like, kind of like float jumping at least. Not like flying, but like I should be able to be like, jump and land.
1:14:06I wonder if there is any measurable difference. I'm sure it depends on the umbrella, but like I should, I'm not saying I need to like Princess Peach on my way down. You know what I mean? Like it shouldn't be that slow. But if you and I were to both jump off this desk, we should hit it different times. Because one of us has an umbrella. And like, not like a split second. Like... Two. Like a third of a second. Okay. Like... That's a pretty split second. Just something, dude. I just want... Like, you know how they walk on the moon? Yes. Like, anti-gravity? Yeah. Like, we should be able to do that.
1:14:43I agree. When I was younger, I had such a big jacket, and it was super windy. I opened it and held the thing, and I got some air. No, you didn't. Bro, this is a made-up story. No, I got a little bit of air. No, I got a little bit of air. I did. No, you did not. I jumped. I was very young. I had a really big jacket. The wind was very high. And I jumped. And I opened my jacket. I got a little bit of air. My guy, in your head that happened because you're little and young. No, everybody looked. And stupid. Everybody looked and went, whoa. Got some air. How many people were there? It's like four. Who?
1:15:14It's my friends. No way. They all go to a different school? No, it was in recess. I did it. I did that. You can't take that from me. Oh, my guy. It's the boy who flew. Unless it was documented by your fucking school. I'm not believing it, dude. A little bit of air. I got a little bit of lift. Just a little bit of lift. I mean, me jumping straight up is a little bit of air. Also, if there is wind strong enough to blow away a small child, why are you outside at recess? Yeah, what is this, a hurricane? Yeah, are you fucking a prisoner in your own school? If it's not raining, teachers want a break.
1:15:42It's like, send the kids out in the wind, let them fly around. They get a break regardless of if you're inside or outside. No, they don't. Yes, they do. You gotta take care of all the kids in the classroom while you're eating lunch. They don't want to do that. bro we've that's not a real break used to go outside in a schoolyard with like open gates on both sides and the teachers were just like they had bouncers though did they i mean they had like teachers that would stand there i don't remember that yeah yeah yeah they would have them stand at the edge and be like hey don't go in there don't go out there whoa whoa use code primetime at the door yeah yeah who's guest list are you on you who you know i i haven't been to a club in like like i am going to a club in 15 years do they still do that like promoter tickets or something like being like yo at the door for ten dollars off or you get in for free use code basement which you could do you could do on june 17th at noon uh june 17th wednesday june 17th at noon uh eastern time uh code basement go to the basement.com and come to these shows frank September 10th, we're going to Durham.
