In short

The Basement Yard hosts a chaotic holiday episode mixing gift-opening, personal mishaps, and increasingly explicit banter about kissing preferences, penis “urban legends” and average penis weight, plus tangents on religion (Greek Orthodox churches, Popes), Pope food/drinks, and even sandwich-eating habits.

Guests

Frank (co-host; described as “lead singer of Weezer” in jokes), Ant (co-host; “Ant on camera” for about a year), and Pete (mentioned as having an alleged “massive wiener” rumor; also said to be humble and not wanting to talk about it). No formal guest bios are given beyond these roles and recurring identities.

Key claims

  • Ant and Frank joke about “lotion in the eye” causing redness/vision issues.
  • They discuss average flaccid penis weight (citing ~2.5–3.5 ounces) and do math to infer “heavier” sizes.
  • Pete’s rumored penis size is treated as an urban legend; they claim he avoids discussing it.
  • They speculate about Popes eating/drinking (beer, steak, hot dogs) and debate what’s “true” vs rumor.

Notable examples

  • Gift 1: Smokey Eats Electronic Cocktail Smoker Kit with wood types (peach, pecan, oak, apple, cherry) and recipe names like “The Godfather,” “Scotch,” “Dragon’s Breath,” and “Smoked espresso-tini.”
  • Gift 2: “Perfect Martini” wall art.
  • Frank’s Instagram Christmas tree decorating win trophy.
  • Church talk: St. Patrick’s Cathedral tombs/pipes and “weeping angels” style statue fear.

Well, like that's what they used to do back in the days of the Civil War. And they were on to something. Well, half of them were on to something. Yeah. Let's be very clear. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They would be, half of them would be like, ow, my leg hurts.

12:00Let me, you know, clean it with, you know, whiskey. Yeah. The other half would be like, ow, I want to keep my slaves. Let me clean it with whiskey. Yeah, yeah. One of those sentiments, the good one, the northern one, I agree with. Right, yes, exactly. To be very clear. Yeah. Okay. I also got myself something. What's that? I got a little Christmas tree trophy because I won the Christmas tree decorating poll on Instagram. Oh, fuck you. This guy's having a week. See, good gift giver, got a little tree, won a contest.

12:32Just an absolute. I just wanted to toss that in there. Yeah, you. You and Frank Sinatra, who apparently has a 19-pound cock. Wasn't that you, Jennifer? Dude, yeah. 19-pound dick? Fucking Paul Anka, who's like an old-timey singer. Paul Anka? Paul Anka. Paul? Anka. Anka. Oh, isn't Paul Anka somebody? Polenta is a, like... Isn't that like a... It's like an Italian, like... It's a mushy rice. It's almost like grits. Yeah, yeah. It's like a corn paste. I kind of like that. I'm into grits. I like mushy shit. Ooh. You know what I mean? Really? Yeah, I like mashed potatoes when they're mushed. Yeah, but I like a little, like on certain stuff, a little texture.

13:11Like I think they do like polenta cakes, but they'll like pan fry them. So you get a bit of a char crust on the outside and the inside is creamy. Oh, yeah. And mushy. Yeah. But big fat dick though. Yeah. Apparently you and Frank Sinatra. You guys share a dick. Share it. Yeah. You also share a love for alcohol. you know just yeah i think if we start naming things same listening age on spot yeah we could i think we'll be able to find a pretty consistent like through line through line between frank sinatra and aunt prisco wow you know what was the story with his big well paul anka came out and said like it was true he had just like too much dick and like the joke was if he was 120 pounds 19 pounds was dick which is oh bro i was on the assumption that he actually had a 19 pound penis i'd be like bro you can't use that i mean no way i will say this regardless of size if people are measuring your girth your cock in weight you've won how much do you think your penis weighs without your balls?

14:28Not 19 pounds. I was on the news two days ago, and they asked me what the podcast was about. And didn't it happen? I'm asking Frank. How much his penis weighs? I can't give a number. Rams? Excuse you. I mean. Excuse you. Do you think your penis is a pound? I don't know what a pound is. I think. It's not a pound. How do you know this? Like, it can't be. Who the hell are you? He's like, oh, because I'm three pounds. Yeah, this guy's walking around with a dumbbell in his pants. He's like, you don't want this. It's a tough life to live with a fucking heavy wiener. Yeah, tell us how difficult life is while your fucking tip scrapes against the floor when you walk.

15:08Yeah. I'm getting too intense about it. Yeah, I think so. The details. I mean, what do you think? Can you, what is yours weigh?

15:17when i'm thinking about weighing it i'm thinking about like weighing a dust and and not because like a food scale like yeah like i'm thinking about like how much sugar you ever see those videos about how much sugar yeah where it's just like you're drinking a coca-cola here's the 50 grams of sugar that's what i'm thinking about um that's a great great question. Tell us, Buddy Holly. Well, the thing is, it's a great song. He was also a person. Was he? Yeah, dude. I don't know. It's one of the people that died on the plane. The plane? Yeah, the day the music died. What? The song American Pie? Yeah.

15:58I buy Miss American Pie. You don't have to sing that. I know. And that's the day the music died. There was like a plane crash. It had like the dude that sang La Bamba. I honestly did not know this. I know Leonard Skinner died in the... Didn't they die in the airplane? I believe they did as well. I mean, I'm not going to... Well, am I going to start using my phone during the show? Look up the plane crash the day the music died. Okay. At first, I googled what the average weight of a penis is. This is good. I don't know if that is helpful. You know what? You've earned your spot right there, baby.

16:29There you go. Would you like to guess what the average weight of a penis is? Flaccid. Give us the unit of measurement. It's ounces. Ooh. 16 ounces and a pound. That's a glass of water. Or is that fluid? That didn't happen. Wait, no, no, no. Fluid ounces and weight ounces are different things. Okay. 16 ounces is a pint. A fucking pint. 16 ounces is a pound, though? I think it... Is it 8 ounces is a pound? Isn't it 12? We're all over the place. Well, regardless, it's not 16. I'm going to say 7. It's 16 ounces and a pound. 16 ounces is a fucking pound. I'll say seven ounces is the average. I'm going bigger than that, baby.

17:11I'm going the average. I'm going 10.25 ounces. The average weight of a flaccid penis is 2.5 to 3.5 ounces. Yeah. Oh, wow. Okay, cool. Are you sure? Because mine is average and it's fucking weight. It doesn't feel right. It feels huge and heavy, dude. 2.3 ounces. I mean, what's the point of weighing it at that point? Let's use some simple math here. Simple math. Okay, we got this. I'm already nervous. We're not stupid. So if the average length of a penis is 5 inches, 2.5 ounces. Right. So that means that whatever the length is, half it for the ounces, the ounceship. Right. So if it's 5 inches, 2.5 ounces.

18:03Right. So if we're going and using that, this guy had a 38 - 38 pin - 38 inch dick! I see the math. That's crazy. You see it, which is like... Yeah. There's no way. There's no way. I mean, you never know, dude. That was Frankie Blue Eyes. You think you got a small dick? Frankie Blue Eyes? I love how we picked the blue eyes. Frankie Thick Hawk! Frankie fucking massive nuts! Climbing to the moon Riding on his fucking fleshy rocket ship Rocket ship of a car Yeah, that's exactly I mean, you know What a guy I mean, I think we just deduced Yeah Average So You're probably rocking You're probably rocking like nine ounces Well, that would be insane I can't I would I can't I would act very differently probably Elaborate on that The weight of your penis elaborate is in correlation with your personality probably yeah can you be more of like just a cocky well you would be more cocky yeah inherently yeah okay so you would just like if i guess cocky is the word yeah but i but but like you know we all know it's well documented he's gonna hate it but pete's got a big wiener and uh here it goes he'll know we mentioned him because his follower account goes up well the other day too he was like yo did you say something about me because i also sudden I got a bunch of followers.

19:27I was like, I don't think so. We did. Probably. Yeah, we absolutely did. Or maybe a clip went viral and it, you know. Yeah. They caught wind of the penis. I will say he is the rare exception. He doesn't like talking about it. Apparently that was Frankie Blue Eyes too. He didn't like talking about his massive wiener. I mean, because back then everyone was afraid of being gay back then. Having a big wiener makes you gay? If you talk about a dick, you want to kiss it. Probably. That's their mentality. Oh. You know, I imagine. I didn't live at that time. I mean, but I imagine he'd be like, Hey, why are you, why do you care?

19:59You know, just a way of singing. I imagine Bill Hader. Uh, and I mean, I feel like over five. It feels though. Richard Tozier. What am I supposed to know who that is? Who's that? Richie Tozier. Loser club. Loser club. Oh, come on. It, it. Yeah. Oh, the kid from the movie. Yeah. Come on, baby. Cool. You know? Yeah. You should know. All right. I was going to say, Pete is one of the rare examples of people that is like, I don't want to, I'm humble about my fucking hoes. Well, think about that. He doesn't talk about it at all. So the fact that it even has. Normal, if we're being honest. Right. I mean, yeah.

20:46The fact that it has grown into an urban legend is magical. It's like Sasquatch in some ways, but also like the urban legend sense. You know, like it's like the Jersey Devil, like the Chupacabra. Like there's other things, the Mothman. You know, everyone has a story about it, but no one can sit and confirm like. Medusa type shit. Well, Medusa is mythological. I think, you know, mine were a lot more closely tied to reality than yours. Well, yeah. Those are your gods. You're Greek. You see what he does? I feel like... You see how he did that? Oh, so who are your gods? Picasso? You fucking Italian bitch.

21:29First of all, that's not even a religion. Italian. Greek isn't a religion. Greek Orthodox, isn't that a religion? Orthodox is the religion. Greek is the sect. Yeah. But I don't think Greek Orthodox is like, yo, Zeus, Aphrodite. Yeah, I think so. I don't think they are. When you guys go to church, it's like, yo, you know, Hercules and shit. I only I think the only difference is like they believe in Jesus but like Jesus was eating spanakopita instead of fucking, you know bread Honestly, one of the best contributions that the Greeks have made to society is spanakopita spanakopita Bro I don't know if I ever told you this Nicole thought that was Spina kapita I mean I mean she's She's white So I mean Spanakopita I mean I guess the Greeks are white too It sounds like Lois Like from Family Guy Spanakopita Yeah I mean that's like such a like Spanakopita I can see that I think Becca recently also did the same thing Where she was just like Spanakopita And I was just like I get what you're trying to do We're gonna have to Just say it quicker At that point just call it spinach pie Yeah right Like you know like If you can't say it with the accent You know like Me and Frank grew up in a Greek neighborhood, and sometimes it would be around, I believe it's Greek Easter, and all of a sudden, the neighborhood, it felt like there was a cult in town.

22:56Because they do a fucking - The chair holding the fucking - Yeah, and everyone's dressed in white, and they have candles, and I was like, yo! I was like, what's going on? Have you seen the inside of a Greek Orthodox church? I've peaked. I don't know if I'm allowed. Dude, I mean, you can walk in. What are they going to say? Get out? They're going to - I mean, the gods will. I mean, the gods are like - They smite, dude. Dude, I might be sorry. Say sorry. Well, I don't know. But I've peeked in. Yo. St. Irene's, it looks nice. Greek Orthodox Church, they're into the pomp and circumstance. The flash, let me tell you.

23:26They don't throw a bad fare either. That's a good fare. I mean, Italians throw a pretty good fare. The Italians throw a good fare, but a lot of rats. I mean, that's just the place. That has nothing to do with the fare. Well, I know it's the food. For a split second, I thought you might have been talking about, like, the people. Rats. The Italian people. Snitches. Like, they're fucking rats. No, that's not what I meant. I meant actual animal rats. Dude, pull up a picture over the inside of a Greek Orthodox church. There's gold everywhere. I've been to a Christian church. I've been to a Catholic church.

23:56It's like, you know. It's fine. A lot of wood. A lot of wood. Some stained glass. Stained glass is cool. Stained glass is really cool. But my guy, you walk in and you see this shit. Which one are you feeling? This one? I mean, yeah, throw it up, babe. Look at that shit. Wow. You're standing up there with the Father, Son, and the Holy, and the Spirit. That's St. D's? uh saint george and saint demetrius greek orthodontic church yeah you know what that might be the ones that we went to i mean i've never what the mother fuck is that look at this thing it's got a whole chandelier yo the greeks love their churches dude got three chandeliers i've been in some churches and i'm like holy shim yeah man they they got it and you walk in and they're you know it's sick they're using a question like when you so if i'm near saint patrick's cathedral around christmas like it's usually around christmas time i'll go in and they have like a nativity set and whatever but in any regard i guess that doesn't matter why i'm bringing that up when you get close to a statue or not super close but you see a statue right does a part of you ever just stare at the statue and go oh yes and just go i know you could fucking move i forgot what movie it was but i remember staring at a statue and i got it from the movie and i was just like i wonder if they're just gonna start crying blood you know just like wonder if this wonder if this like you know mary statue of mary part of me feels like if i stare at a statue long enough like it will give me a sign well there's what's the name of the character i think they're called like the weeping angels or something like that from doctor who and their statues they're like stone statues but they only move if you like blink or look away so like that's what i do i'll Let's be like, this is like fucking Five Nights at Freddy's now.

Read the full transcript

25:40Sort of. I mean, definitely. You're going to upset people comparing Doctor Who to Five Nights at Freddy's. No, that's not what I'm saying. He's getting it. I mean, like, if you look away, then they move. You know what I mean? I mean, I think they move when you look at them in Five Nights at Freddy's, too. When they get close enough and kill you, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But, like, I do that. And specifically in St. Patrick's Cathedral, that's, like, I've been in churches, and I, you know, I'm like, for some reason, St. Patrick's Cathedral is the most uncomfortable I've ever been because I know that like 20 feet below me, there's a Pope just lying there dead.

26:15Not a Pope. Popus. The Popus? There's a ton of Pope. What is multiple Pope? Is it Popes or is it Popeye? I think it's Pipes. Pipes? I think it's Pipes. There's multiple Pipes. The floor is just fucking - Covered in Pipes. Covered in Pipes. And if you walk to the back of the church, so if you ever, if anyone is visiting New York or you're from New York and you haven't been to St. Patrick's Cathedral, you walk in, you go to the left, and then the nativity set is like right on your left. And you go, wow, oh, it looks, and then you walk past it and you get into the back behind the stage altar. And there's, there's a bunch of like tombs.

26:53They're like, yo, down below. Catacombs. Bunch of pipes. Yo, the pipes are laid out and like, they'll tell you too. They'll be like, yo, there's St. John Paul. There's Ringo. They'll tell you all the pipes that are down there. They're like, this one's Federico or some Italian name. John Paul, John Paul II, John Paul IV, V. Yeah, there's like 15 John Pauls. Every season of John Paul. It is very, like, jokes aside, it's breathtaking. It is. Seeing St. Patrick's. The architecture is, like, the fact that you could see that those were made by human hands, it's fucking crazy. Crazy. When I went to France and I went to Notre Dame, I was like, bro, this is insane that people built this.

27:33Bro, even when we were in Ireland, there was like two or three churches that I forgot who I was with, but we walked into. Yeah. And I was just like, yo, this is like a thing that people made by hand. Bananas. It's crazy. Absolutely bananas. I remember thinking when I was in France, I was being like, is there French pipes down here? You know what I mean? Below the surface. You got some bones? Have there been any French? French. French. Any fucking French toast. I was saying French toast. Have there been any French popes? I feel like they've all been Italian. Oh, yeah. Oh, well, I guess priests.

28:10From the south side of Chicago? Yo, this guy's on to something crazy. I'm just telling you, he set a new standard with popes that are also, like, baseball fans and also, like, eat hot dogs. Is this possibly the first pope that we've had that's ever had a hot dog? Nah. Can you get a hot dog in Italy? I'm sure it'll be like, this is an American restaurant. Yo, what do you think the Pope does for, like, fun? Or is it always just the books? Like, is it always just the books? Or can you just go chill? She stays prayed up. Yeah, but, like, that's it? Like, you wake up and pray, and, like, bro, you ever, like, take a pottery class or some shit?

28:48Um, you know, that's a great question. I am not super up to date with the daily activities of the pipes. Dude, or, like, do they go to restaurants? Like imagine you're sitting at a steakhouse and all of a sudden the fucking Pope walks in and is like. I imagine, I imagine they wouldn't. I mean, if, if we're being honest, from a security standpoint, probably a bad idea to do that. I mean, just hire security. I mean, I think it's still like, there's still a level of. I would love to see the Pope pop out. What, you go to like Fort Charles and like, they'll be like, oh, Aaron Boone is here. Where, oh, fucking, you know, like Steve Cohen.

29:25And right in the back room, the Pope is crushing a ribeye. Dude, that'd be so fire. The idea of like a Pope eating steak is funny. It is. It is funny because they need to go about ordering it. Like, how would you take that? Rare. Yeah, like what? And then like just the idea of them. I don't know. This is probably just me. But the idea of them eating food that isn't the little hosts is funny to me. Yeah. Like a Pope eating French fries. The idea of the Pope having a hot dog is inherently hysterical. You think a Pope is just sitting back and drinking a Bud Light? You know what I'm saying? I'm just saying, like, I think now more so than ever, we're finding the opportunity is, like, coming that the Pope is, like, watching a baseball game with a Bud Light and a hot dog, and he's just like, Jesus, we need to run here.

30:18You know, just, like, kicking his feet up. Yeah, like, there's, like, you know, the Pope at one point in his life, like, Scott Posednik got thrown out at home. And he went, are you fucking kidding me? At his TV. You know what I'm saying? And now he's the Pope. And then when he dies, he'll be with the pipes. He's like, thank God for Jermaine Dye, you know? Yeah. That's got, I mean, hey, man, they haven't really been that successful since then. So, I mean, we can't say it's not because of the Pope. He must have loved Angels in the Outfield. I mean, he must have been a co-writer. They must have been like, you know how movies will like contact people in the industry as like a, how authentic is this or something like that?

30:55He's an executive producer. Danny Glover's talking to the Pope and just like, what do you think I should do for this movie? How do we get the angels? Honestly, you're pretty on point with the way it's going so far. Damn. I think, can we find any pictures of the Pope having like pizza or a cheeseburger? I found one. Look up Pope's eating shit. I found one. Don't look that up. Don't say shit. I saw one, uh, the day the Pope drank beer. No! Dude, if you're about to pull up a picture of the Pope with a pint, I might convert. What is the day? Like, it's only been one time? That's what they called it.

31:29Oh! Get the hell out of it. Oh, but wait a sec. That was, that was... He's having it out of a fucking pint! Careful, careful, careful. That was the Nazi. Careful. He was tied to Nazism. Who? All right. That Pope. He's just having a beer. Yeah. Yo, you're gonna let a guy that old hold that big beer, dude? His arm's gonna fall off. Well, he's got the power of the spirit with him. That is true. Yeah. I mean, it's not like the force. I mean, we don't know this picture I saw. Damn, that's crazy. Unless I'm mistaken, that's Pope Benedict. I think he resigned because they were like, yo, you're cool with the Nazis or something.

32:07Frank, I'm not saying that all the popes have not done anything wrong. but to say tied to the Nazis and then to add or something you should be sure about what you're saying. I'm a little fuzzy on the details. But... Wait, go to that picture of those two popes eating. Up to the left. Up to the left. Right there, to the left. Up left. What are they eating over there? I mean, I think that's Pope Leo. Oh, that's Leo. That's Leo. Oh, Leo. That's our current guy. First of all, he's got to be careful with the sleeves on the table there. It's a big white sleeve. We got some ketchup around. You got to be careful, Pope.

32:42It looks like a beer. Yeah. I mean, it's just funny to imagine. They're just people, obviously. Is this a screwdriver? What is this? Imagine the Pope would be like, let me get a vodka tonic. Two limes, please. Bro, this is what I'm saying. Like, the Pope's pull up to restaurants and they're like, yo, hit us with the bottomless. It's kind of fire. Yo, if there was ever, like, the Pope at, like, a bottomless brunch, I think I would lose my fucking mind. Yo, no, that's got to be fake. That just made me laugh. I will say, and I don't want to, I honestly don't want to offend people. I hope people don't think that we're being offensive.

33:15One thing I also wanted to point out is that, do you remember when I brought up J.J. Hairston, the gospel singer? And I was like, yo, this fire gospel song. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Bro, he posted a clip from the podcast and followed me. That's awesome. I know. And like, I just think it's funny now. He's got to tune in. And it's like, if he's hearing this now, it's like, am I saying something bad? Well, listen, see if you can hit up JJ Hairston. Just have him come in and just belt one out. I'm not even saying that, but, like, get you, you know, on the track. You know, one. You know, back in your days.

33:48I'm not getting on the track with JJ. Why not? I'm saying you don't need to sing, but, like, you can have, like, a brief intermission. Like, your days is like, you know, back in the day I was confirmed by the God. Back in the, you know. Oh, I'm going to drop a. I think you could write a quick 16. 16? You could write a quick 16 about your days in the church. My days in the church? shit man i've been confirmed were you confirmed i was yeah you confirmed there we go oh thank you yeah it's a confirmed 10 ounce drink it brother you just got a red solo cup amen brother it's a diet coke oh

34:25if if you were already yes okay i know that's not the question i was gonna ask if you were a pope and you were to go out, what would be your drink of choice? I know it's red wine. Give me something else. What feels like a holy spirit? That's a good joke. That was actually a good joke. That's incredible.

34:52Shit, I don't know. Gin? I was going to say gin because of the floral botanicals and everything. What does that have to do with anything? It just feels more connected in nature. Yeah. Well, the wine that they had in church was white wine, actually. In my church. What? Who? Yeah. Scooby-Doo, welcome to the show. Could be making this up. Isn't it white wine until a specific day, and then it's red wine? Because that's when Jesus? Oh, you're asking me? No, no. Oh, like they like. Like that's when he turned it to. Oh, like when he was just like, yo, now it's my blood. Yeah. Oh, well, no. No? No? Made that up?

35:31Well, not in my church growing up. It was always white. So you guys were just like throwing rosé in the cup and shit like that? Be like, yo, this is... No, that would be fire. I mean, no, it was like a shard. I mean, but I guess why? Why is it white? Yeah. Maybe it was just preference. I mean, but that doesn't make sense. Yeah, because it's always like it's the blood of my... It's the blood of Christ is like... Yeah, but it's not like the blood. It's like a metaphor. I know, but if you're going to present the blood of Christ, It should look most closely resembling blood. Maybe our priest just fucked with the white.

36:05That could be taken out of context. We're going to go straight to the ads for that. Our first ad that we have today comes from, how you doing, Rocket Money.

40:39We love you. We're so thankful. Patreon.com slash AbaseMeNet. You got a new ring? Yeah, Becca got that for me. Let me see. He held it up like the Green Lantern. You're big on rings. I'm feeling rings, honestly. You showed up with a double pink the other day. I was like, bro. Double pinked out? Yeah, you were pinked. I mean, too pink. First of all, don't say that. I don't like you were pinked. Yeah, you were pinked. I don't like that. I think that sounds a little intense. It does sound like porn. Listen, I mean, I think I saw, I've said this before, my entry into rings was seeing someone with pinky rings and rings eating a sandwich, and I go, that looks awesome.

41:22The sandwich, and they're eating it with rings. Because now, when I eat sandwiches, I'm rock and roll for sandwich. Why do you eat like that? I mean, how do you eat a sandwich? I don't even know. All right, you got, I'm going to give you two types of sandwiches. Flat white bread sandwich. Flat white bread sandwich. Don't sit here and say, like, give me, like, one with wheat. I can't even remember the last time I had white bread. Isn't that crazy? Yeah. I can't remember the last time. But, like, they make, like, sliced Italian bread or something like that. But, like, I just hold it. You know what I'm like, it looks like this.

42:02You know, it's got, it's got, it's got hips. I'm going to save you time. I just hold it. Okay. Now a sub. Really? I mean, how? The same method of. You hold like this? Yeah. But why? Doesn't everything fall out of the butt? No, baby. Yeah, you got to like close that fucking ass. First of all, I keep my butt pinched. I mean, it's clearly not. Clearly not. Your butt holds wide open. On my sandwiches. On my sandwiches, dude. Your butt holds wide open and ready for dinner. What, do you rather me eat it like this? No, I mean, dude, that's crazy. I fucking did that to myself. How big is the sandwich in your...

42:35I mean, I've eaten some big sandwiches. But, like, the reason, I'll be honest with you, the reason I do that is because I have wet sandwiches. And if I do eat them like this, this area right here gets wet with, like, oil and vinegar and stuff like that. So if I open it up... You eat with, like, antennas. Damn right I do. I want the world to know this incredible sandwich I'm eating. I don't eat bad sandwiches. Let's make that very clear. I'm not saying that. I want to make sure you know and you know. None of us are concerned. but you're like you're do you have like a like a thing with your hand like your fingers and hands i have openly spoken about i hate my dainty fingers no no i meant like a if i can dress them up with rings oh i am a very tactile person absolutely which is but but i feel like you're i don't know there's something with your fingers you're throwing up gang signs now you gotta be you gotta be careful you gotta be careful but you're you're you're like this you know yeah And then also we've talked about how you point as kind of like Voldemort where you're like, you do that.

43:33Well, I think a lot of it is my dainty fingers. So like what I can do to combat the daintiness is add some weight rings, you know. But they're dainty because of use. It's not because they're dainty. Use what? Like the way that you use them. I think the way, but like I can't point like this anymore if I got a ring on. Now it's like this. Okay, so you need help. And when I have my pinky rings on, if you notice, I do things more like this. Do you? Yeah. Oh, God. It's because it's sick. It's because it's sick. Do you put your fingers up? Try this on. Try the ring on. Do you put your fingers up? I don't think so.

44:12I'm going to toss it. That one, maybe? He goes, I don't think so. I'm going to toss it. Yep. Got it. We've established that you have small fingies. Whoa, dude. Yeah, well, 19-pound fingers. Whoa, that's on your pinky? No, that's on my... Bro, this fits easily on my thumb. It's crazy. You have small thingies. This feels holy. It feels like priesty. It might be priesty. I love it. I love it so much. You pipe? I'm not piping. It fits on every finger. Well, nope. It only fits on this finger. Well, my thumb too. It can fit on all your fingers. Oh, yeah. I could probably fit this around my leg. now talk about my dainty fingers come on dude you're not very dainty i guess it's like bro this is a thick what's up you got thick fingers hell yeah why'd you put the accent hell yeah ready oh hit your other ring you like that right you're ranked i do feel like i just i like powerful i feel powerful when i'm wearing it i really really do it feels good are you gonna get into rings no oh you wear a ring i have an aura ring ah i thought about getting one of those just for general health helping health helping and you would wear it which one i'd probably wear it here i have no ring right now for my my index i have rings for these two right here right thanks for showing us you could have just told us we know we have all fingers um But, okay, so no rings for you?

45:49Maybe. You're not a ring guy? I've experimented. I got you a ring. You did get me a ring. I got you a ring, a pinky ring. A pinky ring. Still that bitch on there? You know? It was crazy. I asked about your size, and I was told that your ring was like the size, basically, of a child's finger. I mean, I don't have huge fingers. Like, they're not, like, big fingers. I think my hands are normal, but my fingers aren't normal. Oh, like, Kyle, you have such big hands. No my hands aren't like big hands But they're not like bitch hands Remember when like hands had to do with dicks back in the day Do I?

46:22I still think that Do you? Yeah Where it's like you ever have someone Like when you're growing up and a girl's like let me see your hand Then I'm like oh god That was I learned from Becca That that was like a thing that girls did to flirt The hands? Yeah I mean I assumed anytime that I was touching skin with a girl I was like oh my god we're having sex It was the closest thing at the time. Yeah, it was. You know? Sometimes it was better because you didn't have anything to compare it to. Oh, when you had no clue. When I had no sex. When you hadn't drank from the, you know, from the... When I haven't had sex yet, that's what I was going to say.

47:00We were having a conversation in freshman year of high school once and just the topic of what, like, something like that, like, what gesture equals the size of a penis or how big do you think it is? And this girl went like this. Aren't they normally here to here? She thought elbow to wrist? She thought elbow to wrist was like, that's how you judge the size of a man. I don't think that's all of our dicks together. Well, you know, forget about the hammer. We all looked at each other like... I mean, I don't even know how, I mean, I don't know what this person, I'm not going to speak about this person's sexual history.

47:37Well, they didn't know, like, they didn't know, like, yeah, like it was freshman year. Like, it was just an assumption, like that's what they thought but where do you even get that assumption from i i think there's a confusion i mean i thought it was like it was from it was like the tip here to here yeah it was like at one point they said it was like when you hold your hand normal it's like pinky to thumb yeah you know or or you know i don't know i remember i remember being like middle school and someone said that and i'd be like really go home and like stretch my hand really you know I've never like You know It was such Like there was There were all of them I mean foot size Was another one That was like You know That was a big one Yeah But there were all these Little like cool Not cool I wouldn't call them cool Yeah I wouldn't I recanted that Everything was about like Figuring out what your penis size Was via weird ways Can you Do you know of any other ones?

48:31I didn't keep tabs on it Here here is such a crazy thing To even think I'll go on record that girl's an idiot that's fine imagine how old were you freshman year high school 14 14 years old bro what are we doing i mean yeah i don't think even bananas you know we were we were appalled a little that was catholic school also this is ridiculous yeah i i don't want to speak more about this because self-conscious also from that one see and when i was in sixth or seventh grade i remember a girl being like you're a virgin and like laughing at me and i was like oh my god like am i a you had to go out there am i a loser yeah you had to figure it out and then looking back i was like the fuck you fucking people in sixth grade there were people that i knew that were actively having sex in sixth grade me too which is like in the stairway so fucking disgusting which is disgusting is such an intense i mean i didn't think you were gonna say that i thought you're gonna say like crazy i mean yes crazy too but like i knew like just like looking back in like hindsight and just be like oh my god yeah like what the fuck was happening people were having sex in in the stairway in my middle school yeah dude it was a thing in our middle school it was like people would hook up at like the back staircase i like made out with my girlfriend at the time once hell yeah yeah dude she made out very fast hell yeah i remember back then also i was still so afraid of being good at making out and then me and her made out and she she like she was just in fast forward it felt like oh and i was like it just felt and i was like damn have i been doing this thing wrong the whole time what is that but like you know you're making out with someone and your mouth opens yeah but and hers was just opening and closing very quickly at a speed that i wasn't prepared for so i was kind of like a step behind so i was like i probably fucked that up oh yeah i can see that i remember when when i was in middle school because that was like the stressor back then it was just like making are you a good kisser yeah you know and if i'm not everyone's gonna know everyone's gonna know no one's gonna kiss you because of it right ever again ever i will die alone after this if you're a bad kisser at that age it's gonna follow you until you're like a member of the workforce yeah you know on your resume it'll be like wow graduated magna cum laude and oh boy heard you were a bad kisser yeah you know a fucking dweeb but i remember i had like a seventh grade girlfriend and there was like pressure it was also like you got a girlfriend and then you had to like kiss and then you had to like kiss in front of your boys and you're like their friends and i remember i went for like a kiss once and i went for a tap kiss oh no she went for a makeout kiss yeah and or or vice versa whatever it was i went for make out she went for tap and it was just like a it was a consuming it was an all consuming and it was like you never come back it looked like a cobra eating a mice a mouse is what i wanted to say it was just like yeah it was like exactly that it was like yeah you know the way that like anacondas consume bro do you remember when you were younger and like same thing like you had a girlfriend and then it was such a big deal and everyone knew that like oh they're gonna kiss and like no one kissed back then so it was a big deal if there was a couple and it's like oh my It was almost like a fight.

51:49It was like, yo, they're going to meet up after school and they're going to kiss each other. And I feel like you would kiss and everyone would go, oh! Well, I remember at the time, like, going down the block, kissing my then-girlfriend and walking back, and everyone's at the corner like, did it happen? Like, celebrating it. And it was just like, yeah, so what? You know, we're boyfriend and girlfriend now. Like, that's what boyfriend and girlfriend just do. You guys will learn one day. Yeah. just like an insane just an insane time to live in such a funny time to look back on yeah and it's even weirder now that i have children oh well yeah they're gonna have to go through that yeah and it's like weird yeah you know very very weird kissing is so strange isn't it weird that we kiss each other on the lips and the mouth i get like other places Dude, what are you doing?

52:46What are you doing? Once it gets close to the holidays, I feel like you're just like horny. What's in that cup? You sure it's just Diet Coke or is it Diet Coke and a horny goat weed? I thought you were going there. I just tried to jump in front of it. No, I was going very normal. Like, just think about kissing on the lips. Like, does any other animal do that? They kiss each other on the mouth? That's a great question. Like, why are we kissing each other on the mouth? I don't know. That's a really, really good question. To show, like, affection. Because that's what we do. It's to show affection.

53:13And I like it. I like kissing on the mouth. But like, how? Do you think more people kiss on the lips or on the cheek? Cheek. What do you mean? You think cheek? Of course. When's the last time you kissed someone on the cheek? All the time. When's the last time you kissed someone on the lips? All the time, too. But less people. I'm not saying. There's one. I'm not saying. But I'm saying in my lifetime, how many people you kissed on the lips and cheek are like, It's astronomically. I'm not saying, like, the quantity of people. I'm saying the amount of individual kisses. Oh! Ooh. It's like wheels or doors.

53:52Wheels or doors. Are there more mouth kisses or are there more cheek kisses? Because in an average lifetime? In an average lifetime. Oh, definitely a lip. Definitely a lip. But that's a, I don't know. No. But what about, like, newborns? You kiss them on the cheeks. We're talking about quantity of kisses, right? It could also be cheeks slash foreheads because that's a big one too. We're talking about quantity of kisses? Yeah, the number of times you either kiss a lip or kiss a cheek. Lip or elsewhere on the head because people do like top of the head, forehead, cheeks. I think it's lip. In the span of a lifetime, I think a person kisses someone on the lips more than they kiss any other part of the head.

54:33The average person though. Yeah. Because like if you are in a relationship, that's a lot of lip. Sure, that's a lot of lip. but you think about all the cheek kisses you had before that relationship. Yeah. And then within that relationship. You make up ground, though. Within that relationship, there are cheek kisses, too. That's true. Oh, man. That's what I'm saying, like, in a lifetime, though. Like, if you get to live 75, 80 years, it's a lot of lip. It's also a lot of cheek because then you have kids. You kiss them on the cheek. You have grandkids. Not if you're Tom Brady. We'll take Tom Brady out of this one.

55:08He's an outlier. He's a lip. He's everyone he knows has kissed him on the lip. You think it's cheek? I don't know. It probably lips, but Tom Brady's definitely on the lip side. He's on the lip. I mean, he's probably never kissed someone on the cheek before. He's the goat of lip kissing. He's the goat of a couple things. Yeah. You know? I'm going to go lip, though. I'm more of like... Bro, think about this. When you're in a young relationship, how many times you kiss? Because when you're younger and you have a girlfriend, it's like, we're just going to kiss 24-7. Yeah, but when you're... Let's say...

55:35All right. Let's say you're 15 and you have a partner. Yeah. you're going to kiss but the ability to sometimes the kiss is not always readily available but how many times you see your family there are friends that people kiss their friends on the cheek you know and this family and this and i'm not just talking on the cheek i'm talking yeah yeah you know kiss your mom on the cheek of course like when you see your mom absolutely yeah i don't know if i do that my brothers i kiss my mom goodbye but i'm more into hugging I mean, it works in tandem, brother. It's a... Not always. Double... You know what it is?

56:13My mom's like... Oh, you double it up. You're a very Italian family. You're double arm kiss. Oh, Italy? Those are cheek people. They're kissing cheeks. I'm not... I'm saying the average person, whether they're Italian... Damn! ...or they're anything else. I don't know. If we're throwing the Italians in there, that really bumps up the cheek, because they love the ma, ma. That's two. And they do it everywhere. Yeah. Damn. That's tough. I didn't know we were including Italian. I think this is a very good argument. This is a very good argument. This is a good debate. I like it a lot. Now, if you're horny like Ant, are they kissing above the chin or below the chin more?

56:48Let's not get ready. Let's get this guy. This guy's over here. There's a lonely male epidemic, Frank. No one's kissing below the belt anymore. It actually says here that chimpanzees, bonobos, wolves, polar bears, albatrosses, I didn't know that was plural, and even insects kiss on the lips. That's so cute. You're telling me that praying mantis smooch? I don't know which ones, but maybe. Dude, if I saw a praying mantis go up to its partner and just be like, I would be so pumped. Yeah, that'd be crazy. Wait, which other? Also, wolves. I've never seen a wolf kiss. They don't have, like, lips. They have mouths.

57:22They have, like, so what are they doing? They're just going up and they're just like. They got a, like, side kiss? I imagine. Or, like, they smush noses. That's cute. Smush noses and they give one of these. You know? Like beak touching? I mean... I mean, we're one of the few animals on the planet that have, like, usable lips. Dude, if a parrot landed on me and went... I'm counting that as a kid. That's what they would do. They'd go... What? You ever think about if you had a parrot, what would it say? Like, what do you say a lot of that it would say? I basically have one with my daughter Maeve, and we have seen some of the stuff that she has said.

58:01Fuck, apparently, is what you're saying. You are my fucking daddy. that's great i'm like i'm trying to tone it back now because it's getting bad yeah um yeah i'm still going live i think dude ruby the other day like she she goes daddy you are dramatic and becca started dying laughing i was like where do you get that from uh but i i think what do you think you're gonna be i would that's so tough because i kiss becca a lot yeah and a lot of it is on the lips are we the way you said that but it was like you were talking to your boys when you're like 12 like i kiss her a lot and a lot of it is on the lips but like oh i've been like before Rebecca like I'm a very affect I come from a very affectionate family I am a very affectionate person like most of my friends that I see get a kiss on the cheek you know yeah I've never seen you kiss the boys well when you put it like that you don't kiss me hey look at this yeah but when we see each other you don't kiss me no but I have I mean it doesn't stand out we dap and like hug He says your kisses aren't memorable.

59:24Crazy. That is bananas. That is bananas. He's trying to kiss bait me. He's trying to be like, your kisses don't even mean much to me. Yeah. They don't even - I don't even feel them. I don't remember the last time you kissed me. He's trying to kiss bait me. You see that? No. Fucking crazy. No. I don't even know - You're fucking horny over there. I don't even know if you're a good kisser. You know? That's what he's saying. I can't even remember the last time you kissed me. Yeah, like people say you're not a great kisser. Do you kiss your mom on the cheek? Hello? Yeah. I don't even know if I do. I kiss my - my - You know how my dad is.

59:53My dad's still throwing out heavy cheek kisses. Your dad would use tongue if you let him. All right, let's take a impact. I think I don't because my mom is, like, very short. So she's, like, here. Yeah, but do you kiss her on the head? I almost said mouth. On the head? That's fine. Yeah, sometimes. Like, I don't really – I don't know if I – Like, I definitely don't kiss, like, my brother so low. I do. Keith would literally I would end up in a tornado like the Tasmanian devil. Yeah, you would. I don't think I kiss Shannon. Like we hug. We're huggers. Okay, that's fine. Why did that sound like a slur?

1:00:33We're huggers. We're huggers. That dirty hugging family. He's a hugger. Like instead of a kisser. Kisser sounds way nicer than hugger. Yeah. You're a hugger. It's like, whoa, dude. I think, I think there, I'm not saying that I am, like, it's cheek or mouth for me, but it is a really good argument to have that, like, you also got to think of the average family. Like, not everyone is as affectionate as my family. Not everyone is as affectionate as your family. Like, so, like, there are people also, as you always tell Aunt and I, we're in the middle of a male loneliness epidemic. So like you think of all those people that have never kissed someone on anything.

1:01:19You want to hear something weird? I have heard through vines of the grape or great? Grape. Grape. That some people who are in long relationships, when they have sex, they don't kiss. That's... So weird. Yeah. That's weird. Yeah, that doesn't feel right. Those gotta be cheek people. That's weird. And also, are we counting when you do that thing, when you see your aunt and you guys, your cheeks touch? I just said that. Yeah, I just said that. That's a cheek kiss. Yeah. You count that. You count that. You make a sound. You're not kissing. I mean. That's as close. The sentiment is as close to kissing on the cheek as.

1:02:01You thought I was just saying like, you know, on the person's. I mean, if I'm kissing. No, this is. I'm counting this. As a cheek kiss. Cheek to cheek. Cheek to cheek. You got to count that. Yeah. I wish I could. Don't you wish you could just dap people up? There's some people that like, I wish I could just dap up my like aunts and uncles. I like hugging because I'll never know if I'll hug that person again. That's so morbid. Oh my God. Oh my God. It's like, it's nice and sweet, but it's also lovely. I mean, I'm not saying they're going to die, but like, I just may never see them again. Yeah. Why?

1:02:40Like, people go their own route in life and they move away or they have, like, you just don't get to see people for years. Yeah. I mean, I just, you know, I'm not big on the, I'm down to do it to a small group. Once we start, you know, if I'm walking into Christmas Day and there's fucking 30 people there, I'm like, here we go. Oh, I say hi to every single person. Of course, I have to too, but, like, I got to hug and kiss everyone. This is crazy now. I wish I could just be like, yo. To, like, my aunt and shit. Just dapper up. Really? yeah make it quick i i like i like i like it a nice embrace i'm more of uh as much as i like to irish goodbye i feel like i'm actually no that's not true i guess it's different with friends i don't care if we say hi to each other really uh no i'm sorry i care if we say hi to each other i do not care if you say bye like i you can leave i don't it doesn't matter but i would like you to acknowledge when we see each other but just go do your thing but with family it's more of like a high oh no it's it's less about a high and more about a buy you know who has the same reason you know who has that same mentality the undertaker i'm dead serious i saw an interview i think i think it was bill simmons and john cena no i think it was bill simmons and john cena or john cena and someone i don't remember exactly who it was but he's like was talking about he was like the i I never drank alcohol.

1:04:04The first drink I ever had was with The Undertaker. That's a good first drink. That's a great first drink. Mine was a Heineken in a backyard, and it sucked. Mine was like, are we talking like accidental, took a sip, you didn't know what it was, or like I'm going to have an alcoholic drink? I think you're purposeful. I think it was with my sister. Maybe not. Maybe earlier. Or in the slammer. I mean, it is, all right. It might have been with you. I don't remember. Nonetheless, he was like, the Undertaker gave me words of advice, and it was like, never say goodbye. And he's like, that stuck with me.

1:04:43Like, big Irish goodbye guy, just never say goodbye to someone. Why? I don't know. I'm trying to find the profoundness in that. I'm not the Undertaker? Yeah. A lot of people say, like, don't say goodbye, say, like, see you later, because goodbye is final. Talk about morbid. I'm, you know, fucking. That's a technical Frank thing. Like, well, technically. Well, that's what I. Technically, I will see you later in life. Yeah, that's what I've heard. I mean, that's pretty dramatic to me. Ruby gets it. What? Ruby gets it. Yeah, Ruby does it. But yeah, I mean, I'm more of like, you know, I'll say bye to like my aunts and uncles when we're leaving and stuff.

1:05:22I don't really care about saying hi. Like, because I don't like the formality of it. Like when I get there, it's like now I got to do the circuit. like I can I'll talk to everyone at a certain point like if we lock eyes like oh hey and I'll come over and you know but the circuit I love I I like the circuit when it's I mean depending on who it is if it's close friends and family I'll do the circuit but if I'm somewhere where I'm not crazy about some of the people there I'll I'll sit back a little bit you know oh we have ads we have to let me get do it folks uh we do have some sponsors uh some more sponsors our last two here we have HIMSS, okay?

Personally, I would go either. bohemian rhapsody you know i'm a little you know i'm a bitch for that song landslides up there i also love uh sympathy for the devil from the rolling stones oh that's a great song let's see what other people said i mean there's there you can make an argument for any song that's like a classic you know i like listened to landslide the other day and i was like dude this song is so good dude the song and specifically the version from Shrek of Hallelujah is such a fucking banger dude someone said Unwritten that is like probably the most recent song that I think is like I think but someone is saying that just because they're they want to keep in line with the basement yard stuff like we could sit here and say like since you've been gone no no I think that the world loves Unwritten I think the world loves Unwritten too I don't know if I'd put it in top 10 songs of all time we also got to take songs that are like old ones you know like i'm sure there's someone that's going to argue like a sea jaunty what is it like a sea shanty yeah shanty shanty sea sands what are they called again guys help me out yeah sea shanty there it is yeah they'll be like oh really the greatest song ever is you know there once was a ship that put to sea and one was in that was a billion tea a couple of people said iris by the google dolls it's a good song too how does that one go again oh you know what song i really like never gonna answer me okay wait what I said how did that song go again and then he used well and I don't want the world okay all right that's good you know what song that I really like champagne supernova by Oasis that's a great song you know which song is so intensely slept on drops of Jupiter by train that is such a good answer to like phenomenal like and not even just like the words because I don't know what they mean but also like just the yeah it's like a space back in like the way he sings it like a you know like in Jupiter in a yeah yeah yeah that's a great song that's a good point oh yo you know what low key I mean I don't know how low key it is but um God Bless a Broken Road by the Rascal Flats what a great song is that Life is a Highway same band different song okay what about the the gambler oh oh you know I I think I know shut up shut up shut up hold on hold on I got it I got it I got it um no one's talking you gotta you gotta know when to hold on know when to fold on know when to walk away know when to run it's mad good You gotta count your money.

1:12:55Hey. And you're sitting at the table. All right. Oh, you know what I did? When I thought of this and I tweeted that with Landslide, I was like, you know what? I'm going to watch this. And I watched the Landslide scene from Jack Frost. Good. Don't do that. I mean, I did. But don't do that, though. Yeah. I mean, Stairway to Heaven. Led Zeppelin has some absolute bangerangs on there. Someone said Layla. Layla. I mean. That's a great song, too. Layla's a great song, but I kind of like the, like, The piano part. The piano part of it more than I do the actual song. But like that's... Bing, bing, bing, bing.

1:13:30My dad used to play that all the time. Bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing. They're saying Imagine by John Lennon. But those are people... No, it's a good song. But those are people that are just like... They're like, you better say it's Imagine by John Lennon. If not, you're a piece of shit. I think it's just like an overrated song. I think that it's a great song. And I understand that probably at that time it was like way more impactful. for that time than it was for me. I listened to that song and I'm like, this is a good song. It's not the best song ever. I mean, it is also like, it is now being tied to one of the most like secondhand embarrassing moments of the last decade where those celebrities saying that during the pandemic as they're sitting in their multimillion dollar mansions and they just open up with, hey, imagine there's no heaven.

1:14:19coming from gal gadot of all people gal gadot you know it's just uh going to california by uh led zeppelin is one that not a lot of people know of so wish you were here by pink floyd someone said truly madly deeply remember that song no what's that one i don't know if you don't know it by name i don't really know how to sing oh it's a it's a i want to stand with you on unbelievable dude i want to let you in the sea and i want to live like this forever until the sky falls down on me i see respect here by aretha franklin r-e-s-p-speeds t it's a it's a hard song to do for karaoke if you're hammered i mean we know one person ang is like oh my god i speed s-t-m-e-s Yo, this girl It was like the first time we were hanging out with our friend's Girlfriend at the time This is his wife now And she got drunk And we were doing like karaoke And she was like, give me the fucking money And she did respect, but she was hammered I was like, I fucking love this girl Yeah, she crushed that so nicely RP Chassie, he's he me That's so good I'm going to remind you of a song you probably haven't thought about in 20 years But you know what song is still a banger?

That's a really, really good song Someone said Hotel California That's a great song Whatever it takes Who sings that? Whatever it takes I'll do whatever it takes Turn this around No I think that's what it is. Someone said Fast Car. Fast Car? I mean, Fast Car is a well-known one. I'm just thinking that you're talking about a car. I know it's not. But like, you got a fast car. It's like, okay. And I know there's more meaning behind it.

1:16:31Never been my favorite song. Someone said Mr. Brightside. I'm going to block her. There are certain songs that I think people confuse popularity with being a great song. Scenes from an Italian restaurant? Bottle of red! Look, don't get me started on that song. A bottle of white! I have been obsessed with that song lately. It's a good song. Things are okay with me these days. Got a new job. Got a new office. I got a new life. I got a new wife and the family is fine. Lost touch long ago. You lost weight? I did not know. God damn it. So good. Look, you see this? This is that. We hit it. Hopelessly devoted to you?

1:17:17But now there's nowhere to hide. Would you push my love aside? I don't know. I'm still a little horsey raspy. Hopelessly devoted is so fucking crazy. Defying Gravity is up there as a knocker of a song. I said this the other day, too. I think the melody, there's melodies in Landslide that I'm like, there's no way someone can hear that and not like it. There has to be something scientific about that melody that is so good. And I feel the same way about a certain melody in For Good. Yeah, I haven't heard it yet, but... You've never heard For Good? I haven't seen the second part. You've never, like, heard the song?

1:18:00No. You've never heard For Good? No. Are you insane? You've really never heard that song before? Yeah, no, I haven't yet. Oh, it's beautiful, dude. Sure. I'm sure it is. Oh, my God. You got to hear it. Oh, come on. I'm sure it is. People argue that's better than Defying Gravity. Really? Yeah. Okay, we'll see. I mean, we could go on and on and on. I mean, my music taste is going to bring out, you know, like, Hey Jude is one of the greatest songs of all time. Frank, I saw a video recently, and I was like, this could be, this is like the greatest maybe moment ever. But it was, that's dramatic. but like uh paul mccartney was doing a concert and he's doing hey jude and he's playing the piano and it's just a sea of people and he just goes nah and then he stands up and the crowd is na na na that's gotta be yeah so loud that's gotta be better than that that's gotta be bananas I mean, there's also got to be something crazy.

1:19:03I mean, Paul McCartney obviously is a music legend and like has a ton of songs. But like the idea of creating something and then it lasts that long. Crazy. And it's like still selling out stadiums. Yeah. 60 years after it came out. It's wild. Is bananas. And then he'll throw in like one of his modern songs. People like, yeah, yeah, yeah. get the hey Jude you know like yeah that's just nuts I wonder what does that like what's the reason my songs like staying power it's so hard to appeal to a completely different generation and you've done it not even the one below you but like I think that they're like at least I could I like there are certain sounds and music genres that are so specifically tied to when they came out that they don't have the legs to last forever I mean like a lot of people talk about like hair metal of like the 80s like that you know like white snake and guns and roses like they've made songs at last but a lot of their stuff is like it stays right where it is and you see that now a lot with like modern hip-hop people feel that way you know even hip-hop from when we were kids you know like the sound of like you know like disturbing the peace like that atlanta sound or even like out west like the hyphy sound like people feel like it's so representative of that time that it doesn't have legs you know i mean yo like have you ever heard like og rap it's all about this saying a dude and like it's like slick rick and shit yeah like it's so like it's tied to a time so it's not going to last forever but like the stuff that is just like you could play this anytime and it still works yeah you know hey jude's like that i think a lot of like classic rock is like that like it just it wrote like the standard for that genre i mean i don't know i think a lot of classic rock is like not gonna make it to gen z i mean i think it's already made it 50 years if you can last 50 years oh i mean what's the oldest song it's got to be like a gregorian chant it's the like the tiptoe through the windows like that era no some shit like that there i mean there's hymns that that come before that no i meant like like a like the oldest like popular song that we all like oh i mean ask fucking you know a brittle boy over here gregorian james is hilarious there's songs from like i used to have a an electric piano that one of the settings on it was gregorian and you could just play and it would sound like yeah it was very weird i mean i i remember i would listen to the pandora station like queen radio and they would mix in like Glenn Miller Band.

1:21:46Like, like. I don't even, who's Glenn Miller Band? I know Steve Miller Band. Well, Steve, Glenn Miller Band is like an older, like, you know, like the, they did music during like World War II where it was like.

1:22:00But like they had music at that time, you know, and that's probably like the 30s or 40s. Do you know what the number one song of all time is? It's like the number one on metrics. It's the best-selling single ever. Do you know what that is? Would we know? I think so. Give us an era. Or give me a genre. Christmas songs. Oh, then it's got to be Jangle Bells or White Christmas. There's like 10 Christmas songs. It's White Christmas, Bing Crosby. It's number one. What? Best-selling single ever. Dreaming Of a wild I mean That's kind of wild Staying power That's wild What is Does it have like The numbers Um Is the best selling Single ever 50 million copies It might be a different It might be a different like Like you had to sell 50 million Yeah Yeah But like also Streaming now I'm just making one song And it does 50 million Yeah dude I mean God damn bing No Bing bing Boom there are other songs that like like do you know what the greatest this is what I meant to say do you know what like I'm pretty sure you know the best selling album of all time?

1:23:19Yeah, Eagles greatest hits Yeah that's so like Crazy Eagles are great but that's very random To me it is too because it's like the Eagles of course they're a big band but they don't feel like the biggest band in the world They're bigger than fucking the Beatles Well I think the second one was for a while it was Michael Jackson I think it was Thriller They're bigger than Michael Jackson I think Michael Jackson retook the top Okay So but it's those two I'm seeing it Yeah Eagles Greatest Hits Was like the top selling album ever Which is such a strange Like again I love the Eagles Great album I mean it's just Like that's a cop out Like It's a Greatest Hits It's a Greatest Hits album Like a straight like Hits album was Thriller Because every song in there Became a hit But yeah Weird weird weird Bro I came in that Like even 50 Cent, like coming out with Get Rich or Die Trying.

1:24:08And then, bro, you're selling like literally an overnight success. Yeah. You literally come out, put one out, and it's like you're rich forever, basically. But then he also put out, you know, St. Valentine's Day Massacre. Or what was it called? The Massacre? The Massacre. The Massacre. I think it came out around Valentine's Day. Beg for Mercy, too. Beg for Mercy, which you know how I feel about that album. This unit album? Bro. That was Beg for Mercy. I know. That was so good. You know how I feel about that album. top to bottom all hits was it you who had the poster uh i don't think i had the poster but i did have a printout of the lyrics to every single song yeah that was my favorite part about getting physical uh when you open it and it had the lyrics and i was like oh i can now i know the word there are some i have some old vinyls that have that too it'll be like you know steve miller band yeah and it'll be like the joker you know uh fucking yo jet airliner that is one of my like that's up there for me jet airliner is a good one that song it's so nostalgic for me it reminds me like of being like fucking i think there's another one on there called uh oh well take the money and run swing town swing town's a banger too yeah that whole album is fucking crazy yeah swimming pools by kendrick lamar reminds me of minecraft of what minecraft why i used to just listen to that song on repeat while playing minecraft so now every time i hear it i think about minecraft and then you got to go yearn for the mind what's what song reminds you of like your parents i have one for each of them obviously landslide is my mom oh uh that's the easy one why that's like my mom's song like she loves that song oh my god there's also another one if we're gonna just go away from landslide uh called vahiva la is that oh i'm thinking of the jewish no no you think um it's like a it's i'm pretty sure it's loggins and messina what is it nahiva halah vahiva la that was not it's really good and then my dad it's uh it's a spanish song uh from the gypsy kings okay you know you know what song reminds me of your dad i'm dead serious oh boy party like a rock star because he probably like pulled up in his car blasting it no i i have a very like vivid memory of uh him picking me up at my house in a giant car yeah yeah and uh we drove to pick you up because you were somewhere i don't even know where and then we went to mcdonald's and then we went to connecticut for the first time and he and you were blasting party like a rock star so it reminds me of your dad because he was like i have a bunch of songs you're trying to hold your hand and hold the whole dad experience right there hotel california reminds me of your dad that's a good one i would say landslide that's my dad's favorite song landslide also reminds me of your mom uh but then like my dad there's like random ones that like my dad is like obsessed with you know like my dad once i remember it was like christmas eve and we were driving and this was like later in life it was like 2009 and the song we are young by fun came on your dad loved it and i remember looking over at my dad and like my sister and brothers were in the back i was in the front seat favorite child and uh i look over at my dad and we were like singing the song and i look over and he's hysterically crying so like to this day that kind of ties it tonight we are young and he's like god but like my dad like there's like two songs that my dad loves from the one's from the gypsy kings and one's from jorge celedon okay caminando por la Calle from the Gypsy Kings.

1:27:44Okay. No, no, no, no, no, no. Damn. No, no, no, no, no. It's actually a banger. And then Esta Vida by Jorge Celedon. It's just like, que bonita esta. Like, how beautiful is this life? Yeah. You know, that's it. What about you? I was thinking about it while you guys were talking. I think for my mom, it might be Carry On My Wayward Son. Banger. Kansas? Yeah, it might be Kansas. I could see your mom tearing the dance floor up to that. And then my dad, it's like Anything by Pitbull, probably. That sucks. Pitbull reminds you of your dad? Yeah, probably Pitbull. Listen, your dad, I've met him. He's a nice guy.

1:28:18I just want to say this. That sucks. Yeah, yeah. No, it's not great. It's not great. Anything by Pitbull. Anything. Anything by Pitbull, by the way. Just hearing Pitbull. Just like the idea that your dad gets in the car, puts the music on, and it's, Mr. 305, and he's just like on a leisurely drive to work. The fucking Pitbull's screaming at you. Yeah. Tiene tremendo Puro!

1:28:48Isn't that Pipple? I don't even know what you're saying. Oh, whatever. Mr. Worldwide, you know? Yeah. That is Mr. Worldwide for Mr. Yellow. Is your dad worldwide? I don't think so.

Yeah, it happens. Yeah. Do you have any songs that remind you of your siblings? Any songs that remind me of my siblings? My brother, while you're thinking, my brother's is Ambition by Wale. God, that reminds me of him too. They were so obsessed with that song.

1:29:25They loved Wale. They were, like, obsessed. Like, it was, like, borderline weird. And then my sister? That's a tough one. Like, anything from, like, Grease, because we loved that stuff growing up. she loved Usher yeah I mean your family reminds me of that incest song well it's not stop stop that Joey the song isn't about no way the song isn't about incest you guys make it about incest no no no it is about having sex in a car but yes when you like the song and your siblings and parents like it it is then weird when you're on opposite sides of the room and yelling it at each other to be fair I'm not yelling it at my sister when I'm singing that song I'm yelling it at the other the other people that are not related to me by blood.

1:30:13Yeah, I don't know. I don't think there's songs. All those Taking Back Sunday and Dashboard Confessionals remind me of Shayanan Thomas. Yeah, like Check Yes Juliet. Well, that was later, but it was a little older. They remind me of it. Was it Banana Pancakes? Jack Johnson. Oh, that reminds me of my brother Thomas. He was really into that. The Remedy and You're Gonna Love Me by the Backwoods is Keith.
