0:00Welcome back to the basement yard. Yeah, Frank's in a lot of pain today. Are you okay? What happened to your arm? And how are you doing? If we're all pretending, fuck you. What happened to you? I fell off my bike. Oh, that's right. I was just talking so much. How did you fall off this bike? I was talking so much shit on the episode that went out on Patreon a couple days ago or will become whatever you know what I mean times. Yeah, and I was like, what kind of fucking losers fall off their bike? I mean, I fell off my bike. I know. Well, that's right. I didn't actually say what kind of losers fall off their bike. I was thinking it right. How did you fall off? I went over. I went over. I made you like, look, fall. Do you think that's the mark of a man that's okay?
1:01Yeah, you think that's you think that's a battle wound to say, Hey, he's all right. Is that all that happened to you? No, what else happened? I heard my wrist. Yeah. And now I could do this. What's that? What did you do? I don't think, but it hurts now. And tell us what happened. I can't really, first of all, I'm expecting way more sympathy out of you guys. You're totally fine. I'm not. You're confident enough to wear a white shirt. What does that mean? If he was bleeding or something to be read, if I was still actively bleeding, then I wouldn't be here. Yeah. I would be at the hospital. How did you fall off the bike? Well, first of all, let me paint the picture. I was enjoying a fuck out of this bike ride. I was like, I actively said to myself out loud. This is beautiful. Because I went, I went early in the morning and it was still dark out. So I was riding and I'm fucking enjoying all your reflectors. I got all my reflectors. My front light is on.
2:01My back reflectors on, I even more reflective vest. What? What do I know? Wait, what? What does it look like? You wore a reflective vest? Yeah. Like a, like a, like a, like a, like a, like a construction, like a green vest that has the reflector. Is that bad? No, no, no. I mean, that's better to be safe. That's what I think. I didn't know. Okay. I wanted to be extra safe. I mean, you're going to blind people now. I feel like it's going to have a reverse effect. You got lights reflectors now, a vest that bring to be like, whoa, really? I mean, I can't imagine that's what it would do. I think it would just be like, there's that guy. He's biking. Everyone be careful, you know. There's a guy reflective vest. Did you wear it? You know where? You know where to helmet, obviously. Duh. Yeah. Of course I wear it. What else do you got on? I actually just got my helmet. So I had previously biked without it. Oh, yeah. Thank God I got it. Okay. Is that cool? My helmet? Like, what does it look like? It's the one that it's like a motocross helmet.
3:02It comes down. No, it doesn't. No, it does. I don't use it. It's a regular clip. It's a regular clip, which is almost worse. Yeah. You know, you know, it's funny. We're watching back in our watching you breaking bed. And I know that their their their pieces are shit. But like, there's the scene where the Nazi like like supremacy cis guys are in the bathroom. And the guy's just like, I saw a guy riding his bike with helmet the other day and I want a punch him in the face. Like that's me with my vest. Do you have like, um, so I got my pads or anything like that? I don't have a bad. Can't you tell? Look at my, look at my, well, I don't know. Do you know the audio only listeners are probably like so concerned. This is like a life altering injury. Right. It looks like like a rabbit scratched you. No rabbits would do a lot of damage. Probably. I'll pill downhill. Neither. Oh, just regular. No, it's regular. Well, let me, let me, let me paint the picture. So it's dark out. And I'm literally like at one point I stopped and I just listened and I was like,
4:03this is so fucking beautiful. Because we're starting to weather starting to change a little bit, boys. Yeah, it's starting to get a little cooler. We're getting toward fall, which I'm to it. I'm not, I'm not opposed. You're already there. I'm over because you fell. I'm going to, I'm going to get up right now and I'm going to beat the brakes off. Yeah, actually, that's pretty quick. That's pretty quick. Don't do this. No, but then I, I was riding across the street and I looked both ways to make sure no one was coming. I was being very safe. I had my reflective vest on. Yeah, you were safe. Did you have a condom on? What? All safety. And it was like the end of like, I was going to like jump up onto the curb. Like a bunny hop. No, no, no, like onto the sidewalk, but at the end of a driveway. Okay. But you know how sometimes at the end of a driveway, it's supposed to be like paved so it meets the road kind of flush, but there had been damage from years of wear and tear. So it was like, it came to like an abrupt end. And it was probably like, I would say like a two and a half inch curb lip that I
5:07went to go like, hit it at an angle, but there was like a lot of greenery on this side. So I wanted to like hit it and then quickly turn so that I didn't go into the trees. Yeah. What's so funny? It was your real giggly today. We're getting to it. We're good. And so I like hit it and I like turned my thing real quick, but I guess I wasn't fully up. So I like turned off the curb and it like went flush with the curb and you just immediately and I just I tried to like correct it. So I turned again. And then it just over. I went. Did the back come up? The back came up. I went over. Right. I landed on I like caught myself, but like as you could tell from the grave injury, what sounded you made. So here's the part. So I told us the back and her first thing was like, you were wearing a vest, which I guess is a topic here. I don't know if I made a sound. Okay. But I can show you on the app where I fell because there's just like a squiggle
6:10market. Did you like walk it off? I walked right. So I was very angry at myself. Did anyone see you? No, I don't think so. So I stood up and I heard like a door, a door, a car door shut. You know that's it. Yeah. You know that's how. And I like looked around to see if anyone was going to come and like check in because they saw me. Right. Nobody. Yeah. Which is that worse? If I fell in no one's fault. If I fall and no one sees, I'm chilling. Really? Yeah. Are you going to like not tell anyone or are you going to tell people? No, I'll tell people. But also I, if I fall, the last thing I want is for someone to come over and like check on me like, damn, my God. This is more embarrassing. Unless I like got hurt. I got to be on someone that recently fell and no one saw. I was a little disappointed in everyone else. You wanted them to. I just, I just wanted some concern. You wanted to endrose people to just come outside. Hey, I don't know. No, not, not drove one person. Okay. And then you need to come over just like if someone got out of their car.
7:11You got you all right? Good. And then I'll just give the yeah. And that would have been it. Right. But it wasn't. It didn't happen. And I was a little disappointed. Yeah. I felt personally like they should have cared more about me falling. The people that didn't see me. Someone heard you fall and just got right into their car. They're like, I got a crossing guard fell down. I guess I was worried though that I made a sound and I'm glad that I'll never know for sure if I did because I would have. I don't think back it would have ever been. Yeah, something that would have been like, you know, how far into your ride was that? Um, probably 10 minutes into my ride. Oh, early. Yeah. I finished her out. So I was going, I was riding to the gym. Okay. So I had to complete my ride. I was very upset though. And then my gym workout just wasn't the same. I was just so angry the whole time. Just picking rocks out of your hand. Well, no, it was there. I got to, I had to pick some rocks out of here. You know, and then to, in order to like punish myself, I used hand sanitizer on it.
8:12In order to punish myself, what's that about? You know, it's pretty worried about a, a, a, a, a, duh, hydrogen peroxide. Yeah, I didn't have any at the gym. I don't know. I don't have like a dispenser for hydrogen peroxide. I don't know that is with the hand sanitizer help that. I imagine it kills bacteria and germs. Doesn't it? Is it good to put hand sanitizer on a cut? Doesn't it hurt? It did. That's why I said in order to punish myself. Oh, it didn't feel great. Do you like pain? Obviously I'm joking. I didn't punish myself. I did put hand sanitizer on that. And I don't buy that. I think that you were like, no, no, I'm going to make it hurt. But you've never been like angry at yourself that you're like, you fucking deserved to stub your toe idiot. No, it's not how I want to. What's really? I hate stubbing my toe as do I, but I'd rather stub five toes than hit my shin though. Hitting my shin is the worst pain. I can't even remember the last time I hit my shin. What does that even call?
9:13Like stub your shin or something? Bash your shin. Yeah, something like that. But like some of my toe is not great. But and yesterday I like cut my whole fucking arm really cutting the lights off right here. What the hell? There's a zip tie that someone cut and it was really sharp and I want to go reach to press the button and it just cut open my arm. Yo, that's legitimately dangerous. That's a nasty one, dude. I mean, it looks like hand sanitizer. Did you? No. Oh, wow. You should have. Oh, it should be like fucking idiot. You deserve this now. No. I mean, honestly, if I'm going to get cut, I'd rather it be like a bigger scab because then I can pick it. You don't pick your scabs? No, we've just, we've discussed this. I don't, it's gross. I live to pick scabs. I will tell you the best like post injury thing to do is when you get a blood he knows and then you like pick out all the dried blood. Oh, it's like I love that. That's pretty sad. Sometimes you get lucky and you pick like a flake and like a blood clot comes with it. And you're like, hey, I got all that out of it. I like that one. I just think it breathes really well.
10:14I just like when it's like, it's like flaked around. And like peel it off like it's like a paint chip. Yeah. You know what I'm talking about? I do. I do. I know exactly that. It's so good. Or if you like go like this and it like falls out. I don't do that one. Oh, try it. Next time you get a bloody nose, let it dry and try that. I don't really get bloody noses anymore. And like I used to get scabs of locks. I would like fuck up my knees and like fall down when you're younger. And then I would get like big scabs on my legs. And I'd be like, this is amazing. I should wait a few days and all of a sudden I just start picking it. And it hurts a lot. I was worried that my bike was going to be broken. And like the bike seems fine. But like the whole way I was just like this doesn't ride the same. You know what I mean? You're worried about the machinery. Yeah. I mean, it did break my leg. It's pretty built for falling. I mean, they're like metal. The thing that's tough though was I fell on the saw. Like as I went over and like down like that decide that has like the gear shift. Nothing gear shift. What am I talking about? Like the chain. It has the chain.
11:14It has the chain. It's both or whatever. It has the chain, but it has like that extra part on it that like for like when you shift gears. Oh, the one that yeah, there's like a bunch of different ones. Yeah, yeah. So like I looked at that. And there was a little scratch on it, but it looked fine. But I was just so like, I was like, ew. What a fun look. At the time I was on Keith's pegs and we were going down a hill and I leaned street. He leaned sidewalk and we went right into a pole and he launched me like I was I launched to it and I hit like the middle of the street. If there was a car, it's itting me like for sure. I one time went down. We called it dead man's hill on 48th or 49th, 49th and my brother fell in front of me and I accidentally ran over him. Yeah, dude. How did you not fall? I don't know because I ran over his neck. I'm serious. I was how did his head not pop off? I don't know. I guess he got a strong neck. I guess so. It's crazy. We're also like 12 years old. So like I weighed maybe like 70 pounds. Yeah, it's a hill in a story that was like they had paved it and it was like straight
12:18down basically. I remember one time I was like, I'm all I'm going to go down on my roller blades. As soon as I started to pick up speed, I got so scared and I veered off to the side and I just drove into the front of a car. Did your roller blades have like the metal brake stop on the back? No. That's crazy. I know. I think I was like, that was me. That was not the spirit of me in there. I was like, yeah, I'm good. I'm going to go down this hill and I started going. I was like way too fast and I just veered off to a parked car and like hit the head life. There was nothing cooler as a kid than a good steep hill and now honestly not much scares me more. Yo, Keith used to go down our block and he's done it on Dead Man's Hill on the peg standing straight up not touching the handlebars. By the way, this street, the street, it goes leads into like a fucking two way avenue. And this was before those avenues had traffic lights because now they do and I remember specifically the one at the end of your street didn't have one. And people were whipping down there.
13:20They were all like 5060. That should his fucking danger. Keith really was like the Daredevil evil con evil of our neighborhood. One time Keith when we were younger was like, come down because we had skateboards and he's like, let's just ride our skateboards down the alleyway and our alleyway. We'd live like at the bottom of the hill. So I started going and I was like going down on my butt and we were kind of like racing and fighting. And Keith was like a lot stronger than me and just like shoved me off this thing and I hit the floor and just like completely fucked up my hands and my arms or whatever. And I was like, oh, go get mom. And he was just standing above me and he's like, I'm not going to do that. He's like, I'm not going to do that. Just like, no, you're going to be fine. Just figured out I was like, go get mom. And I remember your alleyway, it was like, it's not paved but it was like that like we had gravelish. It was like larger rocks and shit like that was paved and then it wasn't. And then it did get paved again.
14:22Like it was like a weird patch in the middle where it was just completely fucked. There was also a random vice grip. Do you remember that vice grip? Yeah, there was like the tool like yes, but it was built into the side of some person's driveway at the top. It was like kind of in the middle and I would take rocks and I would put them in the vice grip and I would just turn it and then we'd explode. Really? Yeah. I don't remember that. Yeah, dude, so I wonder if it's still there. I'm shocked that you didn't obviously put like your nuts in there or something. I wouldn't put my nuts in there. I mean, I put my finger in there and be like, oh, but then still. Oh, now who likes pain? Why didn't I hurt myself? I just like, imagine just like a little pressure. It's like this is, I could hurt myself. No, it was such a thing back then to like if you got hurt to not like don't tell anyone because like I imagine in that situation like Keith was saying like you'll be alright but also somehow it would have been his fault. It would have been someone we were both got in trouble for something.
15:22It's like the the the kid that isn't hurt is the one that is responsible for the one that is hurt. Did I ever tell you about the time where me Thompson Keith had a pillow fight and Tom swung a pillow at Keith like high. So he bent over like this and I came over the top one and hit him over the head and the bridge of his nose hit the edge of the radiator and he had immediately a big bump like this and we all just stopped and look at each other and we're like, what is our story? Yeah, because we cannot tell mom because she's going to she's going to suck right in each of us and she's going to murder. Yeah, she's they're going to pull us into a room and interrogate us and we came up with the story that like we were playing hockey in the backyard and the puck. Well, it was so funny because like you like when you're doing that stuff because my brothers and I wrestled a lot like we used to like have full on like wrestling matches like one person was like Jim Ross and shit like that. But then at the end of anyone like if someone got hurt it was just like the powwow just
16:23being like, okay, so this is how this is how this you do it. How do we do this so that mom doesn't yell at us? My brother the way I lost my first tooth was my brother hit me over the head with a steel chair like a legit steel chair in the mouth. No, so he like hit me over the head. Oh, you bit and I did like yeah, I did like one of those and it knocked my front tooth like super super super loose like to the point like you remember having loose teeth where you would just like be like I just want to see how far I can push this. Well, I yeah, and also I would go like this and it would just like you were fucking like daffy duck or something. I would do that with a yo having a loose tooth is like. I mean core memory it was a core memory. Did you ever do any cool things to take your teeth out? Well that one in particular. When you're younger and your tooth's like loose, did you ever do like you tie the string and you drive away? No, no, no, no. I was just slam the door. I think I did the door once but I can't really really remember if it was me or if it was one of my brothers.
17:23I think I was too afraid of the door. The door one seems like such an easy one to do but like honestly also like the getting it around the tooth and tying is just as bad as the slamming of the door if not works. Yeah, who's tying this thing? How? Like and also what are you using? Because like what we did what you're going to use floss that should break easily or rope. I think it was way more string around in the 90s I think. It was a very string a lot of yarn. Tawny yarn back then. I used to love yarn. Gunner's good. My sister did the slam door thing. I don't remember myself. We tried to do an RC car with my little brother but the tying process was like it was fun but then he started getting scared and he started to cry so we stopped. The worst is like when you try to do one of those things and they don't work. Yeah. Well I remember I like whenever I had a loose tooth I would always like just like push it out as far as it could go and then pull it in as far as I could go and then with that one in particular my brother hit me over the head and then I had told my mom like oh it's
18:24super loose. Then she was like she threw me a bagel or something like that. She was like he had a bagel. And she was like just take a bite and I took a bite and lo and behold it came right out. Wow. Bro teeth are crazy. Teeth are gross. Teeth are fucking weird. I don't like teeth. I don't hate them but the more I think about them the more creeped out I get by them. Like when you're young and like I remember when I had my I remember I don't know if it was my first but I remember being young and having a loose tooth and then when it came out I was so scared. Because I'm like oh my god there's a hole in my mouth and I'm bleeding and this tooth is in my hand. Well bro they like kids if you're listening take it easy they bleed a lot dude they don't like bleed a little they it's not like a hole bro it's a hole and like there's like shit attached to the tooth. Ugh teeth man. I don't like teeth. You guys get your wisdom teeth bold. I never do that. I never do that. You could see them if you want to come look at my mouth. I don't want to smell it. You know that's one of my big pet peeves.
19:26Smell what? My mouth. You probably do have like a tea like a deep tea and you you know what I mean like when you drink tea and it's like kind of stays on your tongue. Really? I mean I've gotten better with scrubbing my tongue ever ever since I pulled it out on the show and someone was just like what the hell happened to his tongue. I think it was you. You were like what happened to your tongue. Well your tongue was like an orange I was like do you do you think orange you're like no I was like well I don't know better with scrubbing it. I can't do that. I have like a scraper now. I have a scraper and I like the scrubbing it with the bristles because it just feels like it's doing a better job than I if I place my toothbrush on my tongue I immediately start gagging. I'm telling you it has to be very low. Do the thumb trick if you hold your thumb I don't know why but like it tricks your brain into thinking that you're not going to gag. I don't I do not know and maybe there's a science behind it squeeze your thumb and shove your fingers. He's done. No but he didn't squeeze your thumb last time. Like he did. I don't need this at all.
20:27You know it yeah he's sorry. Sorry sorry. I'll stop. Also you didn't squeeze your thumb. I know that was just show you that was the control and I got to about like right here. Bro good for you by the way. Yeah I guess lucky guy. So like I'll use the middle finger for this one watch this thumb squeeze. That's outrageous. That's outrageous. It's just it's just crazy. I don't I think I would be I would I'm not saying like I do it off camera. I don't have a like I have a finger in my mouth thing like I don't like my own fingers. How are you friends with me? I don't want to specify my own fingers in my mouth. Anyone else's fingers. No. Not anyway. First of all. I mean. Do you think brother? Yes. We're not judging. No one's judging here. No one's judging here. Oh I don't give a fuck. Well it's not it was funny. We knew there were kids in college that would always do like like stick in their finger and other kids mouths and stuff like that. Yeah bro you not me. Not me. Not me. I have done it.
21:28But it was there was someone who I mean do we just like sit here like say who it is. Oh it was me. Yeah you said it. I thought it was you but maybe he would do it. He was he would do it to me and this would figure each other's mouths actually. Take it the fuck easy. Okay. Like they're taking it correctly every now and then like just to get him back and be like fuck you. You know what? Yeah he was a big on that. I just said it like Mario. He was a big on that. He was a big on that. He was a big on that. But he would get drunk and just start like the it was like go here. I hate that. Fingers in the mouth. Fingers in the mouth is crazy because it is as doctor Mike has taught us like the dirtiest part of the body. Dirty or the name? Hash film. I imagine. I don't like getting my ear fingered. Why? By who in the why? Anyone you never had someone like this? Like not yeah that or like just stick her finger near you. What will he do? Especially you're fucking most bad. I know my ears are bad. I don't like any of that shit. Like when someone like would give you a nookie or just like tell us all your hair I'm like get a fuck off me. Yo nookie's nookie's hurt dude. Yeah I had a cousin that would be so big on that or you remember from Lier Lier like
22:32the claw. He used to do that to us and I was like fucking hate this guy. Which one was the claw? Where he was like the claw and he would just like kind of tickle you and like go like this. Oh okay. I do that with the kids now. We also do the taser. It's like you take your thumb and you put it like that and you just kind of like in the rib jab it into the rib. Yeah. I don't like any of that stuff. I mean like I play with the kids and stuff like that. No I know. I'm just saying like as a child when people would do that to me I'd be like the only one that I remember is when people would do rug burn on the arm. Do you remember that? They would like take your arm and they would just like wretch it back and forth. Yeah. And like it was like this is what rug burn feels like. Well it was named something different. It was. There was a different name and I shan't we we've since eliminated that. We I shan't contribute to that name. Hated that too. You know what I desperately hated was like mercy. That game mercy just lock your fingers and just like whoever called mercy first I'm like I'm not playing this. Well that that was not like a battle of strength either.
23:34It was like you have to just kind of like let the person just do like destroy my fingers. Yeah. I've hurt you. I don't know. There was all those kid games. Like knuckles bloody knuckles that one was crazy because that one legitimately insane. Yeah you would like flick a coin and like you freaking cut up your knuckles. But that's why we are a better generation than you're dumb ass generation. How about that? You guys have keys? We did have them. What do you like to my home? I'm trying to remember what keys was. I think that had to do with like knuckles. I mean something with keys. I don't remember. I don't remember. I don't remember. Something with keys. Maybe it was like bloody knuckles but with keys. Oh I don't know. Because you know no one has coins anymore. How did you guys hurt? I mean dude you had coins back then. We just got rid of coins. Yeah I know I'm kidding. Well I mean there's still around. We just got rid of some coins. Penies. Are pennies going to be like valuable one day or something? I think there's like older pennies. I mean people have like I saw one that was like the last issued penny from like 2025 or something like that is like for sale for a couple hundred bucks or some shit.
24:38But then there's like older pennies. So I found a legit old penny like two weeks ago. Back in I have this thing since the beginning where early ship has been a thing where like if one of us finds a coin on the ground we'll just have the other person like try to guess the year and we were walking at the lake and she looked at and she found a penny and turned it over and it was like legitimately like oxidized like the fucking statual liberty. We looked at the year 1929. Oh old penny. Old fucking penny. Yeah. I couldn't believe it. I didn't even know they made pennies back then. Old bitch of a penny. But like it was a legit copper penny. Yeah. Which they don't make those. I've had some pennies like that back in the day where there was like the green shit on it. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. Do you remember when they like started releasing the quarters for the the state? Yeah. I had like the book that you could put all of them in and you could put them in. I used to always say I mean I saw one of those recently. I was like oh I haven't seen one of these in a while. Really? North Carolina. I mean I think every quarter now has a.
25:38What's it called like a state on it like every issued one after a certain year? That's it. I don't think I haven't gotten my hands on a quarter in a while. What's the last time you had cash on you? I got cash because I went to a wedding and put it in the card. Oh okay. But what you're not supposed to do. I was going to say yeah why didn't you do it? It was a Canadian wedding and like they like they'd rather USD because it's worth more. So get me some better gift. Is that what they're saying? It's just like no like I mean that's that was the rationale behind why I was giving cash. Gotcha. Usually you're not supposed to do that because if they lose the card, it's a cash. But what was I talking about? Something about the cash. Oh cash yeah the lot but that was the last time before that I had no idea and I always feel so bad because of like valet or coat check things like that. I never I can't tip anybody. Yeah. Anytime I have cash on me which is very very very rare.
26:41I like I never like it's those situations where like I don't have a reason to tip. You know what I mean? Like I'm not using a valet or anything like that. I just like what would be the reason I would have it? I think to complicate this transaction. I well I know like a lot of like family things now like school related like functions are starting to like kind of go away from that but like we've had some instances where it's just like oh the book fair bring send your kid in with some money so they can blah blah blah. Yeah. But now a lot of them do like a virtual currency so like you literally like it'll be like tied to their student ID number and they'll you can add in your funds and they could use it how they choose to use it. Like credits like commissary. Basically I mean this is not like a crazy thing like I had this when I was in college. I had it in high school. Yeah so same shit it's but like some of them still do cash so like you know like like remember when we were kids and it was like the holiday show not the holiday show the
27:42holiday shop and the kids can go get like a dollar trinket for like each member of their family. Yeah yeah yeah that you can give them cash. Yeah but then some of them now do like virtual one. It's crazy I feel like we're getting to the point where like children are going to have credit cards with like strict limits on them and stuff. Do they make children's cards now? Like they're probably not credit cards. Not credit but like wait when can a child have credit? Uh I think 18. I don't know like can you just like start an account for a child and build their credit. That's kind of the meta it's what you're supposed to do. I know it's what you're supposed to do and my parents did not. I didn't even know what credit was until I was like 22. Because 16 you could work. Yeah. A child can start building credit history at any age. Oh authorized user right so your parents credit card you can be an authorized user and that helps build your credit. It doesn't necessarily give you a credit score but it helps like the credit companies.
28:44Some still have a minimum age of 13 to 15 which would make sense. I mean yeah can't have a baby building credit. Fucking amax. Can you imagine is just like I've been building your credit super two. Yeah. Fuck dude. I didn't know I legitimately didn't know what a credit or credit card was until I was like 22 23. I had such a stupid view of it. I didn't have a credit card until I think I was like 23 or 24. Yeah probably not 24 but like 23 years old probably around the same time. And my thought process was I'd rather the debit card because I know how much money I have then like if I'm spending the money and it goes out it's like okay this number that I'm seeing is the number the amount of money that I have. Yeah but I didn't know that like I couldn't wrap my head fair. I couldn't wrap my head around the fact that I can just spend it and like pay for it later. Yeah like I was so and I remember I was talking with my friend Kate and she was just hysterically laughing at me trying to explain it because she was like how do you not get
29:45this you idiot. Yeah. You have a master's agree at this point and I still like couldn't grasp the idea of a credit card or credit. You were a little older than I thought the story was going to be. 23. Dude I swear to God I think just financially illiterate. I don't want to say this and like I know this is not the universal experience but I feel like our group didn't really like we were not like sheltered but like a lot of us didn't start driving until we were later credit cards and stuff like that like we were just focused on other stuff and like we probably should have ironed out. I mean I guess I don't know it just really depends on like the circles you kind of grew up in I don't know that anyone I knew growing up had a credit card. Growing up no. Yeah. Well how are you paying for your black coffees after you're incredibly fun and ruckus sleepovers. $1.50 man. Couch. $2 bill. Couch chain. I mean that was the thing is like I remember also my dad would like at the beginning of the week he'd give me a $20 bill and that would last me all week.
30:45Dude I remember that when we were younger that your dad would just give you money and I'm like what is that like. Yeah. I remember I once lost it. He lost the money. He lost the car. He gave it to me and I put it on my pocket and then I went to leave and I checked and I was like oh I don't have it. My dad was like ha ha ha. He thought I was trying to get another $20 from him. Right. And I was like dad I swear to God no and he was fucking pissed because he was like where's the money. I was like I've been in the car with you the whole time it's somewhere in here. Yeah. It was probably tied up. You know how like the fucking they would do those whole things with a tie dollar bills to the good luck. It made no sense. I thought about stealing those dollars. I'll tell you that. My wallet was Keith growing up like he had a job and he had money and he just paid for me to do everything honestly. It's a good brother. He is. He is. I used to my first job was like an off the books job at where we played baseball and I would I just had like a hundred dollars on me for like a week and I was like what the
31:50fuck is this. Yeah. I worked because then I would go and I would buy like my Elmo and Oscar the Grouch Graphic Tees and it was all the prank stuff they had at Spencer's gifts. I remember when I first got a part time job at Elite they were paying me four hundred dollars like at a time because I was there like super part time but I remember thinking like you know I hope they at least pay me two hundred bucks and then when that I got my first paycheck and it was four hundred I was like I'm about to fucking be the richest person I know. Bro. I so when I went for my graduate degree I was an RD and what came with that was the free tuition room and board of meal plan and then we had a stipend and it was a sixteen thousand dollar a year stipend and I was just like I don't have to pay for a shot. No it came in in monthly okay in like weekly payments got it but I was just like I was
32:51getting a hundred fifty or some odd dollars a week or whatever it was and I was just like loaded. Yeah I'm I could do whatever I want now like let's go buy Patron on ice on ice yeah pop bottles all night baby yeah we could have whatever we like. It's a beautiful beautiful time but probably a little went through that fast if it was Patron every night yeah it would I couldn't I I was drinking like fucking like bush light. I also thought Patron was like the most expensive me too. You could possibly buy me to back in the day when like you know hip hop would just mention alcohol and their sales would just go through the roof yeah you know went through a big Sarac phase to you did go through a big Sarac phase me too yeah it takes a good pitch Sarac I think didn't they say that he became a billionaire off Sarac alone or something like probably I think it was like a really popular. Bro it was everywhere yeah and like I was never big into like flavored vodka yeah but I remember you guys making like coconut Sarac with pineapple juice
33:51and I was just like yo hold off. This is kind of not the worst. Coca-lose. Uh what was it I remember a newvo was that it was like the pink bottle. We had that crystal although I never had a day like we're done with crystal by the time like we started like drinking. Yeah yeah but I knew the name I knew everyone knew the name Patron was big you know that that's what all like the hip hop artist. Bacardi and about. Bacardi. Bacardi I guess. Hypnotic but then I found out that it was like like it was basically fruit juice with a dash of like alcohol in it I was like look all though. What do you think I am. Yeah. Bro there was one that my buddy will showed me. Oh fuck it was like it was purple and it had like glitter in it. Oh man. I could try. And like it was unbelievable and it had glitter in it.

43:20what does that have to do with your age yeah if i was like 10 year old frank i'm going in and i'm coming out and i'm just getting the juice of the dip oh weird yeah i want that i want all the shit that they got i like chunky salsa i want that salsa restaurant style salsa is ass it's like this is like water and tomatoes what am i doing what i don't disagree but also i like it because when it comes in that little cup you can just drink it no oh i think there's only two answers i would accept here um i think there can you zoom in a little more i need to see the ridges on these chips and hence i'm gonna i'm gonna go out on a limb here not not that it's a crazy limb but if anyone who picks see is either a mouse or a fucking idiot like season sam see doesn't even deserve dip on it it doesn't deserve salsa i i would potentially not even eat that if it was on i think i think we can i think we're in agreement on which one we're picking can we say it on the count of three are we i think can we three two one d yes and what you're you're a b guy a dude
44:26a dude hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey what was that you inverted and you get that scoop and you have a little fold that holds it all in no no you're you're absolutely not what you have inside of your brain and pants what you want is a curvature to your to your chip so it holds it for you and then you bring it to your mouth and you're not getting that hold d is a half pipe waiting to be filled with salsa a is like is a is a is a is a is a dimented i don't even know what happened to e where is e is that you see part of e is that like the fucking you know i'm taking over a no 100% yeah you're not fit in d and your little mouth you don't know what the chip you don't know what the fuck this mouth can do when it comes to chips i also i can too bite it he's too biting a salsa chip bro it's about first of all you have a i'm backing up a little bit you're i mean i don't mind double dipping but uh salsa chip that thing is going to turn to a good chip is going to turn the dust in your mouth no no i mean dude i talk like a tustino
45:30chip they're fucking massive you have to two bite those i mean but that's why see you're messing up that's why if you're getting a tostitos corn chip you get the scoopable you can't love you can't get the big fucking like this thing is like a hang glider i know i know but if i do have that like i'm two bite in that i think i'm gonna shove that in my mouth i'm like a fucking cobra you can use a is a little submarine and the pocket like a like a canola will be filled in there but then you get so little dude you get so little you didn't think i was gonna say a right you thought everyone was gonna say a i mean at least have three i'm going a i'm going d and then b is a close second yeah you're just picking chips that's the cool way but b is just a chip yeah there's nothing good about it i mean no there's some bend there's some there's some curves she's a little curvy when they invented the scoop that was the peak of of yeah we innovation yeah i agree i mean that's up there with the computer not well the scoopable like the one that looks like ridges ridges but also have you seen fritos scoops it's like a it's like a shovel
46:33no pull up fritos scoops and just show him it's honestly peak chip design because this thing is literally used to shovel french onion dip into my god damn mouth it kind of looks like a show mac and cheat hell yeah dude that's perfect no what do you mean no fritos are nasty bro come on now i don't like fritos on now fritos are such a good chip no they aren't they're so delicious there's like a deep tear whoo fritos are ass so then we'll give me your give me your top chip for for like salsa i mean we know it's a tostitos like a scoop it's a tostitos scoop what is it yeah what the fuck are we doing now whoo who is this who's this fritos is getting out of control although you might like that Joey because you like sucking things i like yeah i do and then barbecue to i hate i think i'm a bad rated very high barbecue as a as a flavor is so dog shit that's crazy so dog shit dude
47:34not true i will say this these people that do like chocolate covered potato chips i will never even heard of that you've never seen those no oh there's like some chocolate tears and like candy shops that do it i've never heard of like that yeah basically i mean that's a corn chip i'm thinking potato chips uh yeah i don't i'm not into corn chips i don't think i mean you just said you like tostitos uh never mind what yeah i don't like chocolate covered pretzels oh i like chocolate pretzels i just don't like pretzels that are like hard those are the best pretzels no oh like a super like those like thick sourdough pretzels i don't like that i like them you never had a box of like pretzel logs and you just sucked the salt off you know those i actually enjoy i like the pretzel logs but like the ones that look like pretzels like the pretzel design but they're like thicker and like dark and they're like hard yeah i just had those at the house they're good i don't like them i used to love taking the pretzels and just go dig into the bottom of the
48:36bag and just eat them assault like the rods the rods i would go down there and i would like pinch it like it's a fish food and i would put it in my mouth just sprinkle it like salt in your mouth i can't believe you went with a ace crazy that is so unbelievably bad that's a horrible answer i thought even like i think i'll get backed up here hey i don't think anyone's gonna like a oh i i i i is like it you can get the most like on your dip with that out of all of those hey you're getting nothing brother you're not thinking about the shoving i am that's obviously only redeeming quality it has and it's not even big enough to fit anything and i can eat it like this you don't have to like you know i'm good i can do that there's something nice there's something nice about having to like be like a python and like wrap my mouth around this chip lucky man good for you i just think like it's like a challenge like i'm not better than you food you know i will tell you this i don't know if you feel this way we you know mave loves chips in salsa
49:40like for snacks she'll sit there with chips and salsa but sometimes like a piece of the chip will break off in the salsa and then i find it when i'm having it i'm like ew what the fuck is this yeah it's just like it's like a tar like you know when they find like a dinosaur in a tar pit and it's like this wasn't dinosaur once this was respectable now it's a goddamn wet disgusting chip i don't get the reference but i understand the chip you don't know you've never seen or hurt a tar pit you never heard like they found like shitting tar pits and it like a tar pit a pit of tar why would that exist because tar is like a naturally occurring thing oh like that i thought you meant like an airline i don't know what i'm thinking tar is like a real thing in the world right right right what's a tar pit it's a pit of tar and what's what's what's what's what's what's what's what's that's a good exploit like that is what it is what it is this is this is the kind of stuff that people come to the show for yeah yeah you know i can't believe i think i'm gonna have some a riders but you're we're gonna have to do the riders so you have any we're gonna get the
50:42b riders for sure yeah dude there is no one that is riding for seat oh man how do people like tiny chips look how would you guys rank uh keso salsa guac and then i'll throw an onion dip as well spinach dip no fuck our joke dip no just do love a crab dip yeah those are great okay i'll go keso salsa onion dip what else i say walk walk on your dip keso salsa guac what walk last yeah wait would you say onion dip on your dip keso salsa guac i think i'm not even kidding i think i'm going the exact opposite of yours i think i'm going guac salsa keso onion dip and i love each of them in abundance oh i'm not doing that i think i would go first i would probably say it's really close between salsa and guac one of those are one two and i'm putting keso last i like keso i like it but like
51:43i'd rather the onion dip i agree keso is like whatever to me it gets old really three chips into keso i'm like you you you've expressed though like you can't have too too much cheese though so i can understand why that would bother you i just don't think it's an interesting taste but like we were it's it's interesting when they put a little spice in there yeah like a spicy keso like a spicy keso with like you know i've even had some people that put like salsa on top of keso and like you can kind of mix it together a little bit like our dip fuck that in its little tiny thing yeah espos mom with that yo crazy layer espos mom makes like a taco layer dip it's in a pan like this yo and and i would i literally would just put a chip at one end and drive across country yeah it is so good it's a good dip you you you you you like re-fried beans yeah yeah i used to have this thing um they're a little farting it but i would have them like wrapped up kind of it was like these little
52:43things were like re-fried beans and then maybe some sour cream and like cheese and then you just roll them up there's a crush them re-fried beans man i mean i love beans what does that even mean like what is it i think that you have to like re-cook beans and then mash them mashi top it's just it's just mashi beans i think that they're probably there's more to it but i imagine because it just it kind of looks like it's just like a paste so wait you put what what at the top it's it's the like a like a little tortilla or whatever no like you're you're rankings of what it's up it's so tough because like a really really good guac i think is probably better than a salsa but salsa is more consistent like a chunky salsa so i make a salsa first then guac then onion dip then case I don't do you like your guac chunky or just creamy like chunks of avocado no i like it to be
53:45you like it pretty good but i like it when it has like you know little shit on it and like some red dust and shit oh like they like sprinkle a little like chill the powder on it just for like he he's ha ha's yeah and i like when it's in the fucking thing you know you know what's coming up and like and and like they're such a different first of all i've never had a store bought guac and been like mmm they all suck but like you know what's on the rise for me hummus dude hummus is great dude but like a because like store bought hummus is garbage i also think they're very good like a red but like you have it like once you once you once you get a taste of the nectar from the poisonous tree you're just like chickpeas you know but i mean like once you have like a proper like super like creamy thin hummus then you're like whoa now we're talking yeah i mean obviously things made fresher way better don't like hummus you don't like hummus
54:45that's not a surprise no what about tabooly do you like tabooly yeah all that like if i go to a restaurant and they have all that stuff or they offer like you know we have pita and all these dips i'm like bring all the fucking hell yeah all the dips get all the fucking pita hell yeah oh do you want better don't know what that is what it's just like parsley and sometimes the plant and tomato and garlic a little sometimes it's good to dip your your chip in hummus and then put this on top of bobbinoush yo the ganoush goes crazy do you like bobbinoush no shot can't keep up have you been to like an indian restaurant this is more like Mediterranean no it is but i'm just like I don't know picturing that you're like i just you haven't been there i don't think so or like eleven yeas are like a tie yeah yeah yeah you know what i'm saying you don't strike me as adventurous with your food i'm adventurous have you gone to a restaurant that's like they serve and then a country that is that i get this one uh anytime i go anywhere with

1:01:00and use it it's very convenient enjoy that um but yeah uh well the the question that i was posing was to aunt because i think i know your answer do you when you know you're going to a restaurant take a look at the menu beforehand in order to get a uh a sense of what you might get or do you just get in there and then figure it out i don't think it's i do look if it's days away like it's like oh we're going somewhere on Saturday like i'll look it's not really i don't know why i do it it's not really to like be prepared or get it get it oh uh missed it it's not really to be prepared or anything it's more just i kind of just like looking is that a weird thing do you pick out what you're gonna eat or you just check it out because i'll check it out sometimes but i'm not gonna like pick what i'm good yeah it depends on the day i don't know what future Antonio's gonna want i i i really just i wait until i get there yeah unless like if i like look up the place on like google maps to see like the drive or blah blah blah blah and they have pictures
1:02:02i'll look at some of the pictures i'll just be like whoa whoa but like i'm not gonna like read the menu and to be like let's do this this this this this no i'll look just to get a general idea if someone recommends a place like oh like we're gonna go to this place i'd be like all right cool what kind of food is it like if i ask that and it's like oh it's mexican food i'd be like all right cool like i won't really look but if it's kind of like uh some funky shit then i'll look and be like okay what did they got and then check it out but i won't make a decision i'll make a decision there i don't know if i want to look so i feel like i'll already judge the time i'm gonna have now i'm thinking about it because every time i look at the menu i'm like oh this day's gonna suck really sometimes really i enjoy every menu i mean there are some that are better than others but like i feel like on every menu it takes all i believe it takes a lot for me to just be like this isn't a good menu if i've ever done that before yeah i do believe i agree with you where i think every restaurant every menu there is one thing that you'll get like you you you're not gonna hate every like anywhere you'll go would you rather a super long menu or a super like limited
1:03:09menu when it is really i know this is probably not true but a very big menu i think to me it makes me feel like they don't care it's not like there's not high quality if there's so many things that you can get i'm sure there are people in like the food industry that are saying like yes that is the general consensus i mean i don't i don't know that but that's what it feels like it's like all right if you can make you know you're selling pizza and you're also selling filet mignon and you're also selling like well that's why i'm like all right this is a lot that's why people talk about the fucking cheesecake factory is like because they have like a thousand menu items yeah it's crazy and it's like legitimately it's like an eight-page menu and it's just like there's 40 sandwiches and there's 10 steak options and then there's 22 pasta options and there is a lot of shit i i i almost agree with you but like i have no grounds to stand on i've watched like three episodes of
1:04:10kitchen nightmares and i feel like i walk in and i'm just like this is too long they don't care about fucking anything Gordon Ramsay loves a tiny menu hey well i mean i don't like a tiny menu but i i do like you know five entrees is like the smallest i or i guess i five entrees is that's nothing dude i know but like that i'm saying that's like the smallest like i feel like i need a lot of apps i need a lot of apps and call them call them starters don't call them shareables don't call them even like appetizers i'm fine with but like call them you know the right name don't get cute with it and then i need a red meat a fish chicken pasta yeah you could break it up like that you don't need to put it all under the same fucking under the same list or i like when when there's just like okay this restaurant has in total 14 15 items that's it and it's like they're
1:05:14all just there and they're like as it gets closer to the bottom the portions get bigger these are more like you know you could get a couple for the table blah blah blah i don't mind that i don't like when i got pages i like pages i think one turn like if there's this and then there's one turn that's fine if i'm turning again this is insane also i will say this put the dessert menu on the menu with everything else don't don't be like we got to bring you a separate menu i want to see when i'm ordering my food like what i got up around the bend for me you know what i mean like what's on the other side of the ride no i mean i am surprised when i see it the first time but you're like oh it's gotta be it i like the dessert really yeah it feels a little like what you weren't confident you want to show me from the beginning show me now show me when you when i walk in i actually think the opposite i think that if i get a menu and there is dessert on it unless it's a short menu and it's like here's everything uh then i'm kind
1:06:19of like it's going on it's just an extra step to just be like all right now let me see the dessert menu just like i saw it originally it's like oh this sounds good for dessert like let's let's stew on that let's sit on that can't be thinking about dessert before appetizers can't do that bitch also i really enjoy when they bring around like i actually fuck with the way they do it on planes on planes they just roll the fucking dessert up to you everything comes out at the same time yeah they're like here's what we have like imagine you're at a restaurant and a little trolley pops over and it's like here's the shit we were talking about going on a train ride like if you do that do you want a trolley of course you want a trolley of snacks i actually saw i'll take the law i saw a tiktok of a hotel in scotland i believe where they have a traveling bar man so he'll knock on your door and he has a little trolley and you can order a drink and he makes like a fucking old fashioned for you here you go you go back to your room i love old
1:07:22time you shit like that is it old time me i love i mean it seems old time me there was just like a voice i was like the traveling bombing i was like damn i kind of fuck with that i do want to go to a restaurant or a bar or something where they like chip the ice off of a big ice block for what like a drink yeah oh like they're just like you want ice in it and i'm like yeah and they go and they just like fucking murder and ice block and like a back freezer and they just like put it in your glass or i could tell you when i was in lizbin i went to this place i forget the the name of it but they were they have perfectly clear ice blocks i've seen those they took them out and this woman just started cutting it and she was like kind of struggling doing it i'm like this is god to be the most annoying part of this job because she's slicing this thing into a perfect rock and then she like fucked one up then she had to get another one and i'm like i appreciate it oh my god i mean i like i like nice ice like ice cubes yeah whoa let me say that
1:08:22Frank's like ice no stop right here first he supports ice no no no no no no no no he said ice is nice and everything spice no stop you know i didn't say that if anyone the guy in the camo hat is what does that mean no i don't know i said it's only it was a little hanging fruit i had to but yeah i like a good ice block i like we're also the stamper thing where they make it like here's our logo fuck with that well when we did you don't like the stamper it's just nothing what do you like i'm still trying to learn a lot about you big big ice guy ice cube stop big ice guy ice cubes ice cubes yeah love ice cubes love ice cubes i'm gonna good i hate ice how's that yeah fuck that fuck ice but ice cubes um and ice cube but like if you went to a cocktail bar and they just put like fucking regular like ice cubes in there you wouldn't be like you'd be like all right whatever there are certain ice cubes if i got out i would be like where am i the half moon
1:09:22ice cubes if i got that in my drink i'd be like the fuck yeah i think you'd be like from my fridge fuck is this no i don't want that fully agree i need either a big block or you need blocks or that one skinny one i'm not i'm not i'm not gonna hate that one i'm not in for the skinny one because it's such a like it's my face it not only said hit your face but like it's such a like it's like catfishing the drink you know like the long skinny one because then you're like oh i got this big drink and you take it out and it's like a little i mean the the the amount of drink in your drink is is the same i know but i don't i don't like like like at least let me see that it's a smaller drink don't give me don't catfish me you know what i mean that's like i don't want that shit yeah you ever see the videos because if it's a bunch of ice cubes if i take out one ice cube the drink still looks the same you ever see the videos where they take out the big yeah that's what i'm saying it's like don't let me be able to do that i mean if you watch a bartender make it there's like a total of like five ounces i go into every we went to a place recently and they had to
1:10:26stamped uh ice cube we were just like now i might steal that now we're talking and it was like an oh and it wasn't like a it was just like a piece of brass yeah they're heavy and it was like on like a leather handle and we were just like yeah we might steal this shit just palm some cubes and throw them in my drink yeah but like comic dude you have to like that's like saying that you don't care that you don't have a bed frame i'm just gonna i'm just sleeping there do you uh oh i would say it's not the same i think it is the same i think it is the same i'm gonna get we're gonna hang up on you just we just make points but aren't there certain parts where you're like you have to appreciate the little extra like oh that's nice because you're either like you're either like you don't care or you care too much about things and i don't understand like it's hard to figure out what you're gonna feel on certain topics also not every place has the stamp on the ice obviously like you're going to a cocktail bar they may go the extra mile to elevate this drink i'm not gonna be like just put a fucking ice cube in it like yeah palm if it's gonna stop if i'm at a
1:11:30bar and i'm getting a margarita and they're like trying to do that while everyone else is trying to order beers and stuff then i'd be like all right just fucking put ice in it but if you're going to like a place all right it's crazy it's crazy all right it's so hard to get a rid of i'm gonna get you one day what does that mean one day you're gonna you're gonna turn into like you're gonna turn them out one day it's gonna be like a booginess to you you think so yeah if i hang out here like Hugo sprints in yeah forget it i saw you posted a hug on the other day and i'm like oh boy yeah you know what we might get him one day do me a favor hold your hands up what about the other one meringue what's going on that was rest oh he has a watch you got that bitch so watch yeah but they'll be uh they'll be a time you're gonna be like oh i'm gonna be like no stamp no stop what kind of establishment where where the hell do i even think i am this is gonna be like you change man no fucking stamp you change no but like it's like once there are certain parts of it that you're just like all right hold on now that i but because no we wouldn't
1:12:33go to a normal bar and just be like what the fuck is this like yeah like dive bar and you're like like no stamp in my beer yeah or like they put the thing i was at a bar in uh boss and where they put a thing on top of the Guinness it was like a little dog rocking out oh like a little picture yeah let's go you know where i want to get one day and i never have you have you ever seen those commercials where people like wipe the extra foam with like a special foam wiping knife oh you're not supposed to do that but it's like a Guinness no not for Guinness it i think it's done for i think it's like Stella oh you slap it and no they like they like wipe the foam away that seems cool i also we've said this we are we are still on the hunt for a proper bar that throws an ice cold mug down the bar yeah i don't know it might happen you gotta go to a october fest for that it's gotta be like a sturdy glass i also think that just like what happened to just big old fucking mugs stines not just a stine but like the glass mug that is like 40 pounds you know what
1:13:36i'm talking about yeah they have them i when i was in Idaho i went to a bar grumpy's and they had like big chalices and there's a bar in in Brooklyn called rockerola that has like big heavy we went there at the double degs place yes that is the double degs place pickle legs sorry pickle digs but you thought well Danny thought it was devil digs and it was pickle digs and made him anyway and it was absolutely disgusting i don't like pickle digs i've had them they're just sitting in a door but they give out big like thick glasses they're like you like it kills someone with this really like those are the only two places that i've like no but they exist also a house and hall have you been there you know house and hall it's like a indoor outdoor you would fuck with it kind of love an indoor outdoor you're like inside but then you're also like feels like outdoor but it was one time i think it was someone's birthday Danny was there i don't know who Danny well peority oh okay not mind they had a thing they had a thing they're that night where you know you could like um it's like a QR code and then you take a picture and
1:14:38it could potentially go out there i was i was there we went yeah we went for um i think it was divino's birthday was it and i had he kept posting pictures i kept taking pictures coming up and like the first one was just like i'm finally enjoying my night out fuck you dad yeah and then like twelve others of his posted like on the screen that put so the net yes i have that place i think don't they have big things too big cups i think i don't know who's posting like looking crying is that you know my my i wish my dad was here or something like that like you know yeah um we should go to a place and get a leaderstein what's that what's that like a leader of beer like the big mug like the giant one tall things i mean oh the ones that come with like a no i said something recently on tiktok where it's like you go to a place i forgot how much it costs but i was like yo this is insanely worth it and then for two hours you got unlimited Guinness tap that's a lot again and yeah Guinness dude yeah you go like a group but that's crazy i mean think about and two hours see i wouldn't be able to do something like that
1:15:40because i would be like i need to drink enough to offset whatever i'm paying for this well you would that's why it's like super worth it i mean how much is it for two hours i don't remember say it's let's say 200 bucks okay i would have to as an individual drink enough Guinness yeah but how hard is that i mean Guinness you you have to drink in two hours like five years no i know i know i know i can do that i'm not saying it's hard but i'm not right for that situation because i will drink way too much i mean you know what i'm saying where it's just like all right i need to have five beers in two hours i'd be like here's ten there are some bars that there's a tap like built into this the chair or the table and it like calculates how much you actually use or something like that i don't know how that works i assume you just like pay i'm sure it's like on like a smart thing where it's just like you guys use you filled your beers up yeah five times so this is your charge i kind of like that idea damn we should do that that sounds cool it does i think there was like a
1:16:44is it a steakhouse there's something that does it but it's not Guinness it's like other beers that are like in the table and i was like oh that's cool but i've never done it have you ever gotten one of the like lightning thing beers where you like put it down and fills it up from the bottom no dude when i first saw those i'll pull up a clip i thought that was legitimate mentally magic how does it fill it the cup like it has like a plastic thing on the bottom yeah and like you put it in and there's like a like a fill so it goes like that and it lifts the plastic thing up and it fills beer from the bottom and then when you pull it away it like seals it so technically if you like fingered the bottom it would all come out yeah yeah yeah yeah feel like that's necessary you come up from that top i mean it was like it looked pretty cool but then i know that there's like science behind we ever seen the thing where john taffa he's like this is what happens when you don't pull your beer properly and and he puts like a napkin in a beer oh yeah you know what i'm talking about and it like starts to fizz up and he's like that
1:17:48happens in your stomach this is not good like this guy he fucking this guy he goes he goes back and forth quick brother this is it you see that look at there oh i swash so they put it down and a little flat and whoa yeah i thought that was magic i mean you would have to be really dumb to think that's magic i think the answer is pretty clear i mean it's cool i think the answer is pretty clear it's a u-thing in your brain i think um hello let's get john taffer on this show and let's just drink with john taffer to be like john what do you think about this we're just drinking stines the whole time just drinking stines and he's telling us you know just screaming at us about like or let's bring him to like i got no no i have no idea for john taffer well there you have it folks i think that's our episode for today uh frank where can they find you
