Welcome back to the ba- Welcome back to the ba- I said you wanted it! You said- You said you wanted it, I didn't know- I was-

I didn't know you were gonna do that type of yell. I yelled like a fucking cheerleader in like fucking college who was like finally state, they won states! Yeah, exactly. Hot off the press. Hot press. This is the press. It is hot. The New York City show has been announced and we are doing a show at Radio City fucking music fucking hall. Fuck.

Insane. Insane. Absolutely crazy. We're still not sure how to process this information. Yeah, I don't know what's going on. If you're listening, if you're one of the first people where like this comes out, because it comes out at 7 a.m., tickets go on sale today. Okay. At 10 a.m. Eastern. Which is today, by the way, is July 1st. July 1st. July 1st, 2024, 10 a.m. Eastern Standard Time.

So adjust wherever you may be. Right. With the pre-sale code BASEMENT, okay? You can go to TheBasementYard.com. Remember to use the pre-sale code BASEMENT. But the show is on October 1st. It's at 8 p.m. It's at Radio fucking City fucking Music fucking Ball. The last...

basically two and a half, three months that I've known this information. I've been like, Oh, like, you know, the feeling when you hold in a sneeze and you're like, another one's coming, I need to let it out, but I can't get it out. That's what I've been feeling like. Damn. That's torch. That, that is torch. Yeah. Uh, torture by the way. Yeah. We were shortening up torture. I'll have too fun of a word to, you know, keep, keep at it. There's full. Right. Yeah, exactly. Um, I don't know, like, like, what do we, what do we, this is insane. So if you guys saw the video, uh,

Uploaded on this channel a couple like last week or something. I don't remember the fucking dates anymore. I'm losing it 26 that whatever it was We went to Radio City and I could tell you that me and Frankie walked out there and we're like, what are we? I think in the video they captured the moment where we walk out and it goes what are we doing? It's just like

For those of you guys that are not from New York, everyone knows Radio City because of the Rockettes. Rockettes. Which I'm working on my legs. I don't think they're going to...

First of all, you can't go out there with those fucking hairy things. Bitch, you're hairy. We are an inclusive society. I think it's about time we need a Rockette with hairy legs. Throw me out there, Santa. You could definitely get it. Oh, yeah, it is Santa Claus. It's his party. Is Santa Claus in the Rockette shit? He's not a Rockette. I know that. But he's like the...

Like commander of the Rockettes. The pimp or something. Don't do that, Joey. I don't know. You can't. Especially, don't do that, okay? Listen. No, no, no. Hold on. No, you hold on. Okay. Guys, so, yep, never mind. I don't have fucking words. This is what's crazy. I'm going to throw up.

Like, you have to throw up before the show, right? Well, you don't have to throw up. I think there's one vom-it that should occur. Yeah. Because of just the sheer insanity. Everyone knows of Radio City, but like...

New Yorkers or people in the tri-state area really grasp how iconic Radio City is. When you're walking or driving down 6th Avenue and you see that sign. It's fucking crazy. It's just nuts. I can't believe that we're going to do it. We might not. Guys, I can't even begin to tell you. We want to sell this thing out in the first day so bad. I mean, we want to sell it out. Period. Period. Period. But selling it out in the first day would really...

really probably give me a wild imposter syndrome attack and i'm willing to put up with that because i think that every time i come in here i'm like how you doing man he's like i don't even know man yeah it's like we've both been having this like weird sense of just like who are we right now what are we supposed to be doing versus what we are doing so this is like the the

The biggest possible dream that Frank and I could have had. This is bigger than that because I don't think that we've ever thought that we would be able to do something like this on stage at Radio fucking City. What are we talking about? This is the thing. People don't believe that they can do Radio City until they've done other things that are also crazy. And we have done things, like the tour as it is, insanity. Yeah.

And the fact that we've done that and now we're also doing this other thing that is just crazier a little bit. It doesn't really help because it doesn't feel like I'm getting used to this. No. Or like that. They're like, oh, you've done a theater. Yeah. So now go do radio. I'd be like, hold on. Yeah, exactly. People before the shows will say like, do you guys get nervous? And there isn't nerves, but there is an expectation. Like, it's just still crazy. Like every time we do this, it's nuts that we're doing this. It's crazy. So now doing it.

In a venue that has been, like, literally this stage, we will be sharing the stage, not literally because he's dead, with Frank Sinatra. Rockettes, you know, the Grammys were there, Lady Gaga. Lady Gaga. Lady Gaga. Lady Gaga. You know, like, just the absolute insanity. And, like, we saw, like, the backstage and it's like, dude. Just nuts, dude. This is insane. And, like, not a lot of podcasts...

Have done Radio City Like And also dude Here he goes Here he goes guys You gotta start This episode is not brought to you by Yeah hold on Uh oh Went out It's fine Cares Charlie fix it When we went To Radio City To like shoot Parts of that Video that we put out There was a book That

in a glass case and it has the signatures of all of these like the most famous people in the world like the Beatles are in there Lady Gaga Lady Gaga Harry Styles Dave Chappelle like insane shit and they're like oh you guys get to sign this thing and it's like what are we doing here because I know that like the show like does well and it's like you know but it's not like the most popular podcast in the world yet it's not like

Yeah, I know. Yeah, but like it's not like that and then me and me and him Are gonna go sign this fucking book next to fucking Paul McCartney. I'm talking about I'm trying not to like get emotional but like the idea that are you emotion? I'm a are you emotion? Don't do this. Don't do it. You're emotion. Shut up, bitch Don't fucking point at me fix your light loser. Okay, just like the fact that like I

I, like, I remember all of, like, it feels like yesterday that we started doing this. And then, like, everything that has gone into it. And just, like, everything that is still going into it. Like, I just can't even begin to sit and, like, conceptualize how this is happening. And, like, it's just, it's wild, you know? And, like, I don't even know. I truly, like, don't even know what to say right now. My brain is firing off on all cylinders. Yeah, I have no idea. I just...

There's been shows on this tour that people have come up to us and be like, oh, we flew from Alabama or we flew from Dallas to be here and whatever. And I'm always like, Jesus, why did you do that? And I'm going to go ahead and say I won all of that at this show. This is crazy because...

It's like 6,000 people that are going to be at this thing. It's a couple people. If we sell it out, it's 6,000 people. And I just would love if the people who have been watching me forever and the people who have fell in love with this show, like when me and Frankie were doing it together, I just want everyone to be there for that moment because it's such an important moment for me and him.

that like and we just and you gave it to us so we want you to like be there you know like even if you've come to a different show on the tour every single show of this tour has been different and we're like adding and like doing whatever so by the time this show even rolls around in october we don't even know it might be just a monster and conglomerate full disclosure they're sending us emails like so like do you need this or that we're like we don't know yeah we again by the way without exaggeration

Five people doing all of this. Yeah. Five people. Greg, Mikey, Ahmed, Joey, and myself. You know? So... It's fucking crazy, dude. It's crazy because... I mean, I assume people have seen the video, but, like, we... In the video, like, we talk about, like... It's just, like, all the things that have kind of gotten us to, like, where we were and, like, where we are now, first of all, don't make sense. And then, like...

Bro, this started from like something small, like your mom just being like, he might like a camera. You know what I mean? And then like, you're just like, yo, let's just like fuck around and like, you know, record you getting kicked in the face by Keith, you know? And it comes to like, then you look at like everything that you've had to do and like, and again, I don't want to get like too emotional, but like,

Literally listening to the closest people in your life. I'm sure at points in time myself being like dude. What are you doing? Yeah, like you need to like do something more structured to like then you like transitioning to doing your own thing to fucking you know Me getting married my bro like becca Being home and watching the kids so we can do all this shit like it there's it is it is absolutely wild that like this is all happening and

We're gonna go up there and just like say like pee pee butt pee pee butt pee pee butt dick hole You know what I mean? Pee pee butt pee pee butt dick hole boobies. Yeah boobies in there somewhere Are we going all boob or just nip? Well, wait, what are we going all boob or just nipple? If you're going all boob that includes a nipple i'm not gonna get down that oh frogs and toads No, um nipples are boobs boobs are not nipples. Shut it nipples are not boobs

Well, what's a boob? What's a, what's a nipple without a boob? See, now he's got me. He's got me in his web. Uh, but guys, you can go to thebasemanyard.com right now. Uh, I mean, they're not on sale at the moment. If you're, if you're listening at seven, you can just stare at the website. 10 a.m. Eastern with a presale code basement. Guys, I,

I just... On July 1st. On July 1st. On July 1st. Well, that's today if you're listening to it. Yeah, but what if people listen to it a little later than today? Well, then it's on sale. Then it's not today. Also, tickets go on sale to the general public July 3rd at 10 a.m.

Two days later. We don't want that normie to get these. We don't want that. We don't want that. We want it to sell out with a pre-sale code. I legitimately imagined, like I was thinking about this for like Denver or like fucking like Nashville, but like a normal person on the street just goes to their local theater and says like, what's playing this week? Yeah. And they see a ticket for our show and they're like, let's see what this is about. Dude. Guys, I'm not, this is going to probably put a little bit of a dent into both of our mental illnesses.

whether diagnosed or undiagnosed. So if you want that on your, you know, I just like, I'm trying to imagine like what this is going to look like.

because we were there we like walked through like the crowd and stuff when we were at radio city and i'm like this is so many people this is the biggest show by thousands like that we will do on the tour yeah double and it's in new york this is where we're from a lot of people have been asking us for the date and we finally have it and we're like oh we're holding on to something special because we want to shoot that video so everyone can kind of like really see i know that we talk about it and maybe you

you know, it doesn't come across as much. That's why the video was important to kind of like put out just so everyone can kind of understand like the journey to get to this point. And like, this is not normal, like for, and it's not normal for like anybody to like,

you know, actually accomplish those types of things. But especially for where we are right now, like it is an overwhelming amount of support and it doesn't make sense. I've had conversations with people who are very successful artists that, you know, have sold out fucking places that have 10,000 people, but then they come to New York and they can't do Radio City.

Or like, oh, they can't sell out Radio City. Or, you know, it's just like, it's insane. And for like, we're not like the most popular podcast in the world. Like we're people that people are like, oh, I think I've seen their face. I've seen the TikTok, you know. But then you sell out Radio City and then everyone's like, holy shit, who the fuck is this? So like, this is like life-changing shit.

for us well let's let's sell out first uh well let's sell out first before regardless i mean being able to do like we're going to do it like being able to do it is like unbelievable and i think what makes it what makes it insane is that we're being it's really and like this is such a cliche but like it's really because of the people that watch you people you right there sitting right there that's watching this like you have given us this opportunity and that is something that we have had candid conversations about

Off air and we don't take that for granted and I think that you know, it's just it's gonna be not it's crazy because in the video there is a part of video that I I forgot that we had shot but as soon as I saw it I Immediately remembered it to like down to like a physical level which one when Keith swings the broomstick and hits me in the stomach and

This is what we were shooting back in the day. Yes, just so you know. I remember that because it hurt so bad. That left a mark for a full day. Bro, it was like two days that shit left a mark. Because Keith, just so you know, back in the day, Keith was like a physical specimen. Sicko, honestly. Not just a sicko, but also he was the fastest kid we knew. Yeah. By far. Also pretty strong per capita. Yeah, because he's built...

Smaller like right five two like your size don't and he has like a lot of strength behind him Yeah, so when he swung that thing it was like I was getting hit in the stomach by fucking Barry Bonds Yeah, I remember that also pretty vividly and I remember I think in the video you can hear my laugh Which I'm like, who does that?

I was like a squeak toy back then for some reason. Do you remember the video we did making fun of, not making fun of, I guess we were just doing like a Steve Irwin animal exploration thing? Yeah, and I was just screaming into a beer bomb. You were?

That was the whole video. Like I was an animal and I was just screaming into a beer bong. And in my basement, the fucked up basement. The part of the basement that looked like, you know, it was straight out of Nightmare on Elm Street. That back boiler room. Yeah. You know what I'm talking about? Yeah. There was like all like the exposed pipes. Since has been renovated. Yeah. It looks great down there, by the way. Yeah. What I've seen. I haven't been quite there in a couple of years, but just like... Bro, it's crazy. Also, like there's a moment in that video that we put out where...

where i'm like sitting in my car and i'm talking about how like i i like envisioned shooting this video one day and i had no idea what it was and it was probably just like a stupid little thing that i was doing of being like i said in the video like i was doing an interview with barbara walters or something yeah at the time if i can imagine what 2011 joey was imagining it was something along the lines of like it would open with like you know like fucking uh

What's Happening by the Ying Yang Twins. It's a great song. You know, and then it would be like the same font that was used for the NFL Street Games. First of all, you had a bunch of t-shirts with that font on it that said like, facts. Da great. No, I didn't. I only had like two custom t-shirts and I wore them like once or twice. I remember one was like Gangster Life or whatever the fuck. It was Thug Life. Thug Life. Thug Life. And the other one was a spray painted Diplomats shirt.

Things are going well for Frank back then. They were! Bitch! Grew up two blocks from me by the way. Across the street from somewhere. Jesus Christos. From a church. His playground. Yeah. You know, so to say. His playground. That's what churches are. Christ's playground. Christ's playground. He goes in there, he plays around a little bit. Christ's hotels. What? Is it like hotels? He has to visit all of them, right? I mean, I think he can be at all of them at the same time. Like Santa Claus? I don't know.

You tell me. I don't know. You were the one that was like fucking like confirmed and stuff. I was confirmed. You know what? Which what is that? Is that like they're just testing to make sure you're actually of God? Just like we're confirming this guy is a-okay. Yeah. Is it really? You have to like pick a name. I picked Nicholas. Nicholas. I remember Nicholas. I don't know. I was just like, I don't know. It seems like a normal name. I remember one of our friends at the time. I haven't spoken to this kid in a decade plus.

I forgot, but Joe. Yeah, he picked Finbar. Finbar. Because he was like, oh, it's the dumbest looking saint name. And boy was it. Yeah, Finbar. So now that's attached to him. By the way, the originator of like sharing passwords for stuff. Do you remember that? No. Oh, man. He had stolen his mom's credit card and bought like a porn subscription. What?

Yeah, you don't remember this? No. He had stolen his mom's credit card and bought a porn subscription and gave us all the password. First of all, it didn't get the password. Which site was it? I don't remember exactly which one, but it was one of the, you know, like... Big round and brown. Yeah, yeah. Or what was the other one? We live together or something like that. Wasn't that like a lesbian? It was all lesbians. Right, yeah. Which was fire. But like, not like real lesbians, like, you know, like... Fake lesbians? Like, yeah. Yeah.

Faux lesbian. Is that what you're saying? Faux lesbians. Oh, okay, yeah. But you know what I'm talking about. What is We Live Together? What kind of name is that? I don't know. I have no clue, but I remember 2004...

five maybe going on the website and they would have just like the clips there and First of all, how did this kid's mom not know? I mean you're not seeing like look big lesbian porn on the fuck I mean, maybe they like I don't know I maybe but I remember he gave a bunch of the us the password Maybe I guess you weren't cool enough with him. Damn, dude You get I didn't notice I didn't use his last name just in case. Yeah, right just in case just in case he's still been doing it. Yeah Still his mom is still paying for it. You imagine

but she's still paying for we live together oh yeah could you imagine is that still a website i don't know you you tell me i don't know you're a big porn boy yeah i knew that was coming i'm surprised it took this long to say that no it was um and then i don't know if you remember this but oh no you drove we saw one of our childhood crushes moms walking the street

Oh, yeah. I'm not going to say who. Well, you had a crush on her. Yeah, well, I think at a certain point you did too, probably. No, no, no. She made me cry, but it wasn't because I had a crush on her. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. It's because I forgot what I did, but she's like, I'm going to tell on you. And I was like, I don't fucking care. Tell on me. And then she did, and I cried. Yeah. I called her gay at your second grade birthday party watching my mom.

Watching my dog skip Which if anyone at the time Was getting called gay It was the person Whose birthday party Was watching my dog skip How you doing And I cried at that too By the way That makes sense They hit a dog with a shovel That makes sense It's Frankie Muniz That's an American treasure Frankie Muniz They did hit a dog With a shovel Fucked up Dog live don't worry And like you heard Like the ping When it hit it Yeah it was like And then the dog was like And I was like nah chill And I just started crying Like crazy Why was Bridget gay Why did you call her gay

Because everything that was... But do you remember what she did? Everything that was different in 1999, we had to call gay in order to feel good about ourselves. Well, yeah, that was the rule of society. That was the rule of society in 1999. Anything that made you go, what? You're like, gay. But what did she do? Was she just like... Oh, I think I was just trying to... Oh, you were flirting. I was trying to flirt, probably. This kid's flirting going, you're gay.

And you know who calmed me down? I think I've told this story. Maybe not. Oh, yes. You went to the bathroom, right? I went to the bathroom in the basement of the Sunnyside Movie Theater, which I don't know if it's even there now. It was in Sunnyside.

It was like right under the 7 train. Okay. I forgot what street, you know, what stop it was. I remember because Chelsea had a birthday party there. My brothers had a birthday party there. Yeah, it was like for like 80 bucks, you can like rent out a theater with popcorn for every kid and go watch a movie. Nice. But I went into the basement, obviously upset, in the stall, and your neighbor Richie came in. And he's like, yo, it's okay. He's like, it's all right. She's not...

I don't think she's gay. You know, like he said something along the lines like, you're okay. Yeah. You know? Well, that's nice. Yeah. Yeah.

Did you apologize? Or she was just gay for life? No, she's been gay ever since. She's been gay ever since. Hasn't apologized since. I feel bad about it. Confirmed not gay. Married, for sure. Well, and also confirmed, like, you have been confirmed. Also confirmed she was in my CCD class, so. Really? I was in CCD for a little bit, and then I got out of there. Yeah. Were you? I was. For, like, two years. How are you CCD? You're not even Catholic. They put me in it. Don't ask me how or why. Who is they? The Lord? The Lord?

The Lord beckoned me to find his teachings. Oh, came to you like the burning bush and put you in CCD, even though you're Greek Orthodox? Yes. I was baptized Greek Orthodox. And the Greek Orthodox, they...

They do all that at the beginning. They're like, you're baptized, you're communed, you're confirmed. You're good for life. How do they baptize you? Are they dunkers? Oh, hell yeah, they're dunkers, dude. Catholics are boring. They just put a little bit of water on your head. Other fucking religions, they're dunking the baby. This fucking priest, this Greek Orthodox priest held me under the water like Harrison Ford in What Lies Beneath. That's fire, dude. I'm telling you, he was just like...

I love watching those videos where it's like this priest is basically treating this baby like a woman would wash her clothes in a river just like yeah, yeah on that board or whatever the fuck they had that bumpy board and just ran me up and down it the whole time it's crazy dude I think there was like a little oil it was probably like oil and vinegar in there and like he was like dunking his like feta and shit and then he poured it over his greek salad afterwards pouring the holy water over his head it's very good trust me it's seasoned with baby

You know, those priests. Did I ever tell you that during COVID, I think it was my nephew was getting baptized. Yeah, you did tell me this. And the guy came in with a bucket of water to fill up the thing. That's fire. And I was like, are you going to bless this thing? Can you drink holy water?

I wouldn't. Why? Because... Then you got the power of Christ inside you. Well, I... Sure, but you drink the wine and you eat the host. You have the body and the blood. Okay. Gross. Which, by the way, I'm way more inclined to drink the Christ water than I am the blood of Christ. Well, no. Everyone... So when you're walking... I know. They dunk their fingers in it. Yeah, and they do a blast. They season their fingers...

So you're going to drink a thing that everyone put their fucking fingers in? I'm saying get me a fresh bucket of holy water. Bucket? How thirsty are you? You never know. Maybe we're going on a hike. Thirsty for that holy water. That holy water be hitting sometimes. I used to just love doing... Have you ever seen iced holy water? Iced? Yeah. No. It's room temp. Do you think the church makes cocktails with their holy water? No. They do not. Why not? If you made a good red wine spritzer...

And, like, the ice was, like, frozen holy water? Well, holy water is just water. It's not, like... But it's been holied. Yeah, they, like, do a thing. They go, like...

Do they put their, do you want to like holify water one day? Do you think they'll allow you? Don't think that's a verb. Um, but no, I can't. I'm not even kidding. I said that entirely forgetting the word bless. Holified. Uh, no, you have to, I'm assuming you have to be some sort of priest or deacon or Bishop or Cardinal or what are some other bird? I don't know. Deacon's not a bird. Well, a Cardinal is. Yeah, it is. Blue Jay.

Yeah. You know? I'm an Oriole of Christ. Yeah.

I just- The hummingbird of the Lord. I wonder, like, is holy water just straight up water that has been blessed or is it- So is the wine, which is weird because they call it the blood of Christ, but it was white wine in my church. I don't know if other people were having like a nice cap set, but we had like, you know, just like a Chardonnay. Damn. So basically your entire wine journey has just been you trying to make up for the fact that you were given white wine your whole childhood. So communion, third grade, you're allowed to drink the wine and you could do it in like what?

You can. Crazy. Can we agree to that? Not in Italy. Can we? Babies are born. They shove a bottle in its mouth. Crazy. But the idea of a priest handing a child wine. Try this out. And I like, you could have done it because we had to do like, you know, like practice for it. You had to show up, like be like, yo, this is like dress rehearsal. It was a dress rehearsal. All right. So this is your cue. You're going to come up. You're going to drink the wine and you're sick. Oh, you were probably like. No. So I.

No, you could have, but I didn't because I was afraid to drink wine because I was like, oh, I'm going to get drunk and I'm going to throw up. So I didn't do it in practice. But then the day of the game came and I was like, I'm going to fucking slug this wine. And I hadn't. I was like, that is the most disgusting thing I've ever put in my mouth. Yeah, red wine for a child. No, it was white. White wine for a child. Wine for a child. Alcohol for a child. Yeah. Not very delicious. Yeah, I was never like, ooh.

Very good. I was like, that was... Someone pissed in that. That's such a crazy... Yeah, and what are the fucking... The Greeks do ouzo, probably. Those freaks. Oh my god. They're just like, You know, and then they fucking... They give you a fucking cup of ouzo with like a strip of like gyro meat in it. I would love a gyro right now. Dude, I'll fuck a gyro up any day. I will like do something to that. The perfect... Last time I had food poisoning, you know, gyro. And brought you back to life? Was it gyro? Or it did the damage?

Oh, you know, it did the damage. Oh, no. Bring me back to life. I thought like after you were like... You think I had food poisoning. I was like, here's how I'm going to stop it. I'm going to eat a gyro. Oh, no. Like after you stopped having food poisoning and it was time to eat again. Eat. Eat again. Eat again. And then you were just like, I'm going to fucking... No, no, no. I had it. And then like a day later, my body's like...

Remember that? Here it is. Did you like that? I'm going to show it to you again. Did not love that. Oh, that sucks. Yeah, it wasn't cool. I can tell you the... I don't know if it was food poisoning, but I've had this food twice, and both times it gave me the worst...

Stomach ache and like I was fucking spitting out my butt. Well, what is it? It was you know, Sophie's Cuban cuisine. Yes, I do It was their pulled pork and racism. No, I did. Yes. No. Yes. No, no, no, no the Cubans. I have a Cuban friend bitch. Oh

That's right. That cures all... That absolves you from racism. I have a Cuban friend. That cures it all. Who's your Cuban friend? Eric. That's true. He's very Cuban, too. So Cuban, he moved to Miami and now exclusively drinks cafecito. Yeah. Cafecito. Do you remember why I started making fun of him for that? Because he... Yeah, wasn't he like saying... Because he was like...

Fucking like, yo, like we're going to go out to the club. We're going to get bottles. I don't know if I should say this. Is this bad to say? I don't know what you're going to say. Just like the go out to club and get bottles. It was just funny because like... Why is that bad to say? I don't know. But like then he would be like, yo, I need a cafecito so bad right now. And it's just like the juxtaposition of being like, you know, like, oh, bottle boy. And then drinking a little baby coffee. Well, that is not a little baby coffee. It's strong from what I understand. I've never had one. Me neither. But...

I think he says they give him out at his barbershop. He's in the thick of Miami, so he's going through it right now. But we do have some sponsors for today before we move on with this episode. The first one being BetterHelp. BetterHelp Online Therapy. You guys can jump into the world of therapy via BetterHelp because it is more affordable than in-person therapy.

They have licensed therapists that are going to help you out, talk to you. You could do it at whatever frequency you want. If you want to do it biweekly or you want to do it bimonthly or whatever the case is, you can do that. And you could start talking to a therapist in just under 48 hours.

Um, you know, a lot of people have sort of reached out to me and told me that they've benefited from using this. So, I mean, that's amazing. I'm glad that it's helping some people. Um, but yeah, our show is sponsored by better help. And, uh,

You can go to betterhelp.com slash basementyard to get 10% off of your first month. That is B-E-T-T-E-R-H-E-L-P dot com slash basementyard. So go on over to betterhelp.com slash basementyard to get started today and get that 10% off of your first month. And yeah, I mean, big advocate of therapy. I think that everyone should be in it. And I love it. So...

Who doesn't love, you know, feeling like you're at ease with your problems or with your life or yourself? That was deeper than it was supposed to be. Anyway, moving on here, we do have ZocDoc. ZocDoc is a free platform that you can go on and you could find and connect with doctors in your area. So you put in your insurance,

And then it'll tell you like, and then you put in which doctor you want to need. If you need a specialist or you just need, you know, a regular primary care physician, you just put that in and then it will show you the doctors in your area and their next available appointments. And it's all patient reviewed. So, you know, like, you know, if someone has like a 4.9 out of five, you're like, oh, this is a good doctor. And they have an appointment tomorrow at 10 a.m. I'm going to do that. And you know that they take your insurance because, you know,

This is how I started before they were a sponsor of the basement yard. Uh, that's how I found my primary care physician. Because once my mom was like, I'm not taking you. I'm like, where do I go? I don't even, I don't even know where the hospital is or where the doctor's office is. Um, so I went on ZocDoc, put in my insurance and then that's how I found it. So, um,

It's awesome that now that they're a sponsor of the show, but it's a free app and website. So it doesn't cost anything, but you can find, you know, your next available doctor's appointment right there on the app. And you can go to ZocDoc.com slash basement right now to try the app for free. Okay. That is ZocDoc.com slash basement. Z-O-C-D-O-C.com slash basement.

Do you like websites that have the word basement in it? Well, I'm going to give you my favorite one, and that's patreon.com slash thebasemanyard, folks. You know, every single week we talk to you. I tell you about the Patreon, and the fact of the matter is...

Seriously, as we're kind of in the thick of just like trying to realize who we are and what we do in this world, we're at over 31,000 patrons, which is fucking crazy. Guys, thank you. I don't need to sit here and plug patreon.com slash TheBasementYard because you know all the benefits. I tell you every single week, but your support directly...

Thank you, God.

Okay? We are releasing the tickets, the pre-sale tickets for October 1st, 2024 New York show at Radio City Music Hall. Saying it doesn't make it more real, it's still crazy to me. So thank you for everyone. Go out, make sure you put in that pre-sale code basement and then if you're there and for some reason you're unable to make that show, we...

I think as of right now, still have tickets left to the late night show in Atlantic City on July 27th. We're doing it as my birthday bash. We're also just announced doing an after party at the Harris Pool Club. This is crazy. So thank you guys so much. The support has legitimately been hard for us to even grasp. So patreon.com slash thebasementyard, thebasementyard.com. Go check all of that stuff out. And thank you. Also love, by the way, how...

put... Again, you know how Daddy Greg is. He needs to print it out. Needs to print it. I guess his printer is no longer printing only blue and now it's just in... It's in raspberry red. Raspberry.

It's printed in this color. It is. And then it just says show details. Nothing. Nothing is there. No details about the show. What are the details about the show? Well, we don't know yet. I mean, we kind of have an idea. October 1st, 2024, 8 p.m., Radio City motherfucking music hall. And again, if you're coming to any of the shows before that, you go to thebasementyard.com slash submit and you input that information, that questionnaire. I assume the one that we do for Radio City is going to be fucking...

it's going to be something. I honestly, I got a little caught up in the conversation we were just having about, I can't even remember right now. Yep. Yep. Uh, and I, I'm now back into like, what the fuck is going on? Yeah. Bro, we started doing this podcast together in that fucking small corner in that fucking, uh, in your apartment that I had. Yep. And now we're promoting a show at radio city. What the,

Fuck just happened. It doesn't do it doesn't make sense. I remember like it was one of the first episodes where you did a You had your fucking my formal interview. Yeah, the resume was mama's empanadas Mama's empanadas that clip is gone. It's I still see it all over. It makes me tick tock It's still a goodie a lot of like I should find that resume. I

Yeah. And bring it back and like update it. Your address was like Dick's...

Dick road or something like that. You know, you live, you live where you are, baby. You live what you got. That doesn't make any sense whatsoever. It doesn't make any sense. Um, but guys, seriously, just to reiterate again, like we, we want to see you guys there. Um, it's going to mean so much to us that, you know, we do that. I mean, it's, I mean, it already means so much to us that we even have the opportunity to sell tickets at this thing. Um, but selling it out would be like a dream come true. I, I just, I don't,

really think that's going to happen. For some reason, I can't get that in my head. And like, this has happened for Frankie too. Like the first show, I mean, I felt the same way. I just wasn't saying it out loud because it's Jinx. Jinx. Jinx. But the first show, we went to the Wellmont Theater in Montclair, New Jersey. And we went there beforehand just to shoot like a little promo. And we saw all the seats and Frank's like, dude, I don't know.

I don't know if we could sell this place out. And I, and I, and say whether you call it pessimism, realism, or, you know, just being, trying to be humble. One of the isms for sure. It's an ism for sure. Yeah. We know that for sure. That's an ism. There's a certain ism that it isn't. Right. I just like, I saw those seats and like,

First of all, with every one of the other shows that we've done as of recording, I can see all the seats. Right. You couldn't see all of them in fucking Radio City. Not at all. There was a couple. I have a question for you. Will your dad be at that show? As of right now, yes.

He will be at that show. I think my dad will be at that show too. I feel like my, I've like, cause my dad told me, he's like, yeah, but I haven't, I haven't talked, I haven't like brought it up again. Uh, the video actually came out is, is well right now when we're recording is in July 1st, but like the, the video isn't out yet. So it's not June 26th yet. Now. Yeah. Go ahead. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. Um, but the video comes out on my dad's birthday.

Your dad's birthday is June 26th? Yeah, so that's when I'm going to revisit the conversation. Kind of way better than your birthday, dude. My birthday is ass. You notice that if you go nine months before your birthday, it's normally your parents' anniversary and or birthday or something like that? Is that true? I think it is. Nine months before my birthday is my dad's. Is your dad's birthday? My dad's... Had a hell of a birthday! Well, actually, it's like eight and change.

And I was, oh, and I was late. So wait a sec. What the hell? Wait. Because I'm July. My dad's born in December. I mean, there's nothing to be concerned. They're people who are in love having sex with each other. Well, take it easy. I don't know about in love. But...

In something. They were in something. They were in an agreement. Or on the rocks, maybe, at that time. Take it the fuck easy, okay? No, I think my dad was sober at that point in time, bitch. I was talking about the relationship being on. Oh, yeah. Oh, no, no, no, no, yeah. You're onto something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think my dad was sober. Well, think about it. Nine months before your birthday, two months before is... And then seven months before that is your mom's birthday.

I don't, I can't even follow that because I don't know if it's true, but it may. So June, July, August, September, October, November, December, January, February. Oh shit. Mom. She had a crazy birthday, dude. My brothers were born nine months after my dad's birthday. That is like for sure. Yeah. And then my sister, I guess. Damn twins. He was going crazy that day. Well, you know, I was supposed to be a twin. What? Yeah.

Was born a twin I was not born a twin. I was in gestation a twin. Do you have any extra? Yeah, so I have teeth in my back. I'm kidding bro. Yeah, no lie The teeth in my back is fake no, but I was originally a twin and you ate your toy I didn't I didn't eat my I I don't mean to speak ill of this because I'm sure it was very dead like devastating for my parents, but like I

That baby didn't make it. Because you ate it. No, it didn't make it. And then they were like, oh, you're still pregnant with another one. Oh, wow. This guy right here, baby. That's the first time I'm hearing that. Yeah. And yeah, there's more I'll tell you offline. But like, yeah. Wow. Yeah. So neither of us were supposed to be here. Well, we're not. You definitely weren't supposed to be here. Shh. But we...

But now we are supposed to be here together. And we're supposed to be at Radio City. Guys, tickets go on sale 10 a.m. July 1st. If you're watching this before 10 a.m., get on the website. Get ready. Get your place in line. It's going to be an electric night. If we sell this show out...

before they go on general sale, I will lose my fucking mind. We're going to have to like sit. I can't. I'm going to cry. I'll be honest with you. The day that tickets go on sale, I'm not touching my phone. I think I'm going to leave my phone like away from my hand all day. I'm not going to be able to do that. Yeah. Oh God. I'm going to like, I'm definitely going to ignore Greg on that day.

Yeah, because Greg will hit us up and he'll be like, either it'll be like, they're all gone and it's 11 a.m. Or he'll be like, they're going. He's like, all right, Greg. We've sold eight. And I'm like, oh, shit. Can you imagine? We only sell like 10. It would be electric. Well, they probably wouldn't let us do the show. If we only sold 10, that would be the coolest show for those 10 people. Well, I don't think they let us do the show at that point. 20. 20.

Like, I think there's a percentage that you have to hit. I don't know what it is, but like, I'm sure they wouldn't be like, yeah, that would cost us. Imagine, imagine if this show gets canceled because they like shut it down. We couldn't sell it. Yeah. This will be an iconic episode if that happens. I also have like, even at shows now, like we, we know the show is sold out and then we show up and I'm like, Oh yeah. I hope that people come. Yeah, exactly. Because I'm like, I hope they actually show up.

I'm in agreement with you. And also, I don't know if this is kind of showing too much of the sausage here, but there is... Oh, dude. Oh, no.

Don't show your sausage on this show. No, you know the saying, like, you see how the sausage is made? Oh, I know, Frank. I was doing a comedy. But, like, beforehand, like, before we go on stage, we'll be getting updates from the venue, like, the percentage of people that are in this, like, actually in there. Yeah. And it always feels like, uh-oh, not everyone's going to show up. Yeah. And then, you know, it's just weird. It's just a weird thing. And cities, like, it's interesting because, like, when we were in Denver, they were like, oh, they're, like, notorious for, like, showing up a little later. Yeah.

There's a lot of other shows. Fucking kites all the time. That's why. What? Because they're high as kites all the time. Oh, but like other shows, like I think the first show was like at 630 when the doors opened, there was a giant line. At this one, there was no one out there. And we were like, huh. That's why I was like, I hope people come. Like, I was like scared, dude. But yeah, this is fucking crazy. I mean, it always will be crazy to...

And I don't even know what happens after this, but, you know, I just, I want to, I want to just know that like when we're there that day, that the room is just filled with,

Like the most supportive people. And I know it will be like filled with like all these people, like all of our friends and family are coming to that show. And just like all the people that have been there, because there are so many people that I've met at shows or wherever on the street. And they're like, I've been watching you since you had like the fucking little sheep behind you or whatever. And like, that's crazy. And like, I want everyone to be there for that because this is such a,

giant moment in our lives and like just to feel like we're all in the same space is crazy and one thing that I wanted to say is again I keep saying like it doesn't make sense for where we are and like that's so true because

If we do end up selling out Radio City, everyone is then going to be like, how did you do that? Because people who are at our level as far as viewership and stuff, they don't do that. And our Patreon is a lot higher than a lot of people who have the same viewership as us. And that's all to say that we can honestly look at numbers and whatever and say we have...

the most supportive fan base like fucking ever dude and also the people that like behind us that are like I know I brought it up briefly before but like I'm a fucking married man with children and like the fact that we're getting the opportunity to do this and like

Like, just like all the things that went into that. Like, Becca literally looking at me like, I'm going to sit home and watch the kids while you go live your dream. My parents at points in my life being like, yeah, maybe don't do this job or do do this job. You know, like all like the people that like, I told this story to you a couple weeks ago, but like our second grade teacher telling us that like, telling my parents that you and I were going to be comedians one day. Like, it's just like. Fucking Ms. Macchio, dude. It's crazy. She's gone probably. Yeah.

She's gotta be dead, dude. That woman was fucking skeletor back in 1998. She was barely alive when she was teaching us language arts. So I think it's safe to say... Yeah. Bing, bang, boom. It's just like, this is, for me, and I know for you, like, it is gonna be like an intense moment of like self-reflection and just seeing everything that has happened to kind of get to where we are and like...

I can't give out enough flowers. Like the reality of it is too. And this isn't, I guess a funny episode at this point in time. Although the church stuff was pretty funny. Like I am here like because of other people, you know what I mean? Like, I think that like our dynamic works, but like you believed in me, my family believed in me, my wife believed in me. Like I am here because of you. Jesus. Well, I don't know.

He might be trying to spite me. He believes in all of us. I've said some stuff about him. He might be upset at me right now at this point. I'm sorry. That's all it takes. Boom. Clean slate, baby. It's called forgiveness, baby. Clean slate. And he's like...

It's just like, I do have moments of like self-reflection and like seeing the people in my life that like work really hard to make like a living. And like the fact that we're getting this opportunity is something I will, like if it were to stop tomorrow, I will remember to the day I die. And like, seriously, like you trusting in me in 2020 to be like, yo, come on full time. Like we can do this together. Crazy.

We're all in this together. I only know that first part of that. When's the last time you watched High Street Musical 1 or 2? Never have watched either. Dude, you need to. I only know the songs because you sing them. I don't sing we're all in this together. Frank, you're

One of them at one point in time, it was work this out. I can't sing it or dance it now because Disney will smack the fucking band hammer on us. That's for sure. Probably. Yeah. But you know, how do we get from the top of the world to the bottom of the heap?

Oh, are you singing? Because I don't want to. I was going to. We have ads. Oh, come on. Stamps.com. Shout out to Stamps.com for being a sponsor of the show.

I think my head off is a little toasty in here. I'm getting toasty too. It's toasted up. Toaster strudels in here, let me tell you. Bro, I was toasted in here. By the way, I forgot them at home. Just brief little snippet. Toasters? What am I saying? I meant to say toaster strudels. The Pop-Tarts that were made for us? Oh, right. Did you eat one? I had one, yeah. What's in it? Strawberry filling, bitch. Strawberry filling, bitch. But it's like homemade. Someone made us homemade Pop-Tarts. Becca looked up the person that did it. They're like a...

like on the Food Network pastry chef. Yeah, like... And you took the whole box. I said I'm bringing it in. I just forgot it. Miles and I had one this morning. He wanted the one specifically... He heated it up? No. Why did I say it like that? I don't know. He heated it up? He heated it up? He had the one that had the logo on it, the Basement Yard logo, but like... Oh, he went right for the top. Some of them cracked. I gotta say, like some of them cracked. The artwork on it is unbelievable. I saw...

I'm not, I am not kidding. They remade the 2002 tie-in merch Spider-Man one. And I fucking lost my mind when I saw that. Frank was hype. I was so hype because I haven't seen that since 2002 and I immediately was brought back to it. 2002, one year after, hello. Stop.

Joey, Joey, Joey. But Frank, when we got into the green room and there was like a box of them there, he was just like going through it because there was so many also. There's like 20 in there. Yeah, there was a ton. But they were like homemade Pop-Tarts and they had like this cool artwork on it. He's like, oh! Yeah, some of our merch designs, some like one of like, it was absolutely. There was one of like you, one of me. Yeah, one of us with the champagne that's on the posters. Yeah. It's been an emotional couple of weeks for me. Big time. I cried yesterday.

Twice in the morning. Why did big fan of crying? Okay. I know you know how I feel about crying I'm pretty into it now cool. I'm so into it Joey I'm telling you right now Wait until you have kids. It's the best crying ever. Oh my god. I stared at the three of them I stared at the three of them yesterday Yesterday morning and just like just lost it. Yeah, dude First one was we were in the room all three of us, but four of us were dancing to Cuban Pete from the mask and

And then Ruby goes, Dada, I want to watch it again. I think you just like the movie a lot. I love the movie. I don't know if that's true for children. And then I go, all right, let's go out there and watch some cartoons. And Miles goes, Kiki, can we watch Darkwing Duck?

Lost it again, dude. The joy you will not understand. Darkwing Duck. Our parents don't really understand. Do you have an emotional connection to Darkwing Duck? I mean, just the idea that I was sitting there and the heads of all three of them sitting on the couch eating their breakfast, watching a show. What'd they have for breakfast? That we watched. CTC, bitch. Hell yeah. That's a well-fed family. And hard-boiled eggs. Big hard-boiled egg house. With...

Separate. Oh, I was like that is a weird cop from the moment Maeve wakes up to the moment. She falls asleep She needs food in front of her. She's a big hard-boiled egg She loves hard-boiled eggs and she likes bananas. I go Ruby Ruby. I go Maeve you want to eat you? My I know that's how she calls bananas. She goes by yeah, it's so tough one. That's a tough one It is a really hard one. What were your kids first words?

I think mama, dada, you know, like simple ones. Not like I think, you know, you don't have my dada, mama, dada. It was like, you know, it's mama. Or Maeve was a big, like, you remember, was it mama? It was probably dada at first. Cause that's easier to say. And mama, dada, dada, dada. That's easier. Uh, it's a nice perk.

You know what I mean? Listen, the world is so hard for us men. I know. Especially when you're white. And straight. Especially, you know, when we're given a baby. Like, all the hard work we had to do waiting for that baby. I know. You know?

Oh, the complaining. The least that we could do is get the first word, right? I know. Like this baby's handed to us and like, this is the hardest thing I've ever had to do. Exactly. Is hold it. Yeah. And then, and then, then you got to babysit it. Then I have to wake up for it. You have to babysit your baby. Oh my God. Then you want me to, hold on. Then you want me to spend time with my baby? Yeah. Get out of here, dude. Your wife has to like, I don't know, fucking go hang out with her friends or something. So you have to babysit it. That's the worst part. Wild, dude. Wild. Wild.

It's so hard to be a fucking new, a new, a new father. Oh, babysitting your own kids. Yeah. Jesus Christ. I saw a video once where someone liked that, where it's like, oh, you know, I got to babysit the kids tonight. It's like, nope. That's called being a parent. It's not babysitting. Yeah. We were recently talking about this and we were, and Becca's sister was just like, you don't realize how low the bar is for men. Like we were recently watching something and like they said like, oh, he's such a good dad. Like he hangs out with his son and like,

he feeds him and it's like oh you mean the literal bare fucking minimum you're just raising it good job this is a bit by the way so we're all being aware just want to make sure everyone knows that it's way harder to be the mother yeah yeah I would say bro imagine something sucking on your nipples for life dude I swear to god when you said that sentence all I was thinking about was like imagine things just suck you just sucking on like did you ever give yourself hickeys as a kid

No. Come on. Yeah, you did. No, dude. Yes, you did. Everyone here knows what I'm talking about. You give a hickey here? No. I didn't. I mean, I've like sucked on my arm, but I never gave myself a hickey. Are you a hickey guy? I've never given or gotten one. Oh. Yeah. Heat of the moment. Some stuff happens, you know? But like, I feel like... Becca's had to cover up some stuff, you know? Oh.

Like hickeys. I shouldn't say that either. That sounds like she covered up a murder. She's had to cover up some stuff. I thought you were saying, like, sounds like a black eye. Or that too. She's like, yeah, she's had to fucking, you better cover that up. She fell. She fell down the stairs and hit her eye on the floor. And broke her nose. So, you know, my thighs are stuck to this chair right now. I'm actually feeling a little sticky as well.

Are those high? No, these are the shorts. These are the shorts? What are the shorts? There's no, like, this is, like, they're just the normal inseam. Nice. Five inches? I like them. That looks more like 12 inches. Yeah, I would say so. I was thinking two feet. Definitely enough. Regardless of the length, I would say it certainly is more than enough to get the job done. I agree. Okay.

Whatever job that is What an episode Pep What an episode We've talked about Zero of the things Zero Do you want to talk about any of them Or do you want to just keep rolling What No I'd rather just keep Doing what we're doing now Just keep vibing right We're relishing

I don't know what that means. I'm not relish. I'm not a relish guy. I don't even know what it is. Sweet pickles chopped up. That's really all it is. That sounds nice. I don't like sweet pickles. I like crunchy, soury garlic pickles. I like that too. That sounds amazing. Way better than sweet. I would love some cinnamon toast crunch also. Yeah? I could definitely do without a hard boiled egg. Remember when we almost lost cinnamon toast crunch because there was like shrimp tails in it?

What? You don't remember that? That happened. We talked about it on the show like three and a half years ago. I thought you meant me and you. I was like, what are you talking about? But yeah, I forgot about that. Yeah. It was like someone poured out a bowl of CTC and there was a shrimp tail in it. I'm going to be honest. If I poured out a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch and a shrimp tail popped out, I would move the tail, I would put the milk in, and I would ingest. Normally. And then you would be in trouble because you are allergic to shrimp apparently. Yeah.

Yeah, we're going to figure that out. It's got to be like mind over matter. Like when we went to dinner a couple of weeks ago and we got that shrimp cocktail, you should have just downed it and like willed yourself out of having any like allergic reaction. Not how it works, but I appreciate you saying that. I think that is how it works. Your mom didn't eat enough shrimp with you in the womb. That's what they say.

That's not how allergies are made. There is apparently, I don't know if it's an old wives tale or if it's actual research. Either one, don't care. I'm going to talk about it as it's real. I love how he was like, you basically said it's either true or it's not. They say if you have, whether it be peanuts or shellfish, cooked shellfish, like a shrimp cocktail, not oysters.

When you are in the gestational period of having a child, you can curb any allergens or allergies or stuff like that. Tell you what, I'm definitely not allergic to cigarettes then. My mom didn't smoke cigarettes. Was your mom ever a smoker?

No, we like joked around. Neither of my parents like smoked like that. Definitely not my dad. But my mom, we're like, yo, you ever like smoke weed? And she's like, stop. And I'm like, oh, you weed head. Yeah, yeah, yeah. My mom, I don't think my mom has ever...

She might have smoked weed. I don't think she's ever done anything outside of that. Don't ask me about my dad. Still trying to figure all that out. Yeah. Your dad, I've seen crush a whole bag of cigarettes. Oh, dude, I'm not even concerned about the cigarettes. Yeah. He's told me stories of like going out to clubs and like, dad, you must've done something. And he's like, no. I'm like, come on. Yeah. Give me a little. He always tells me like, was he a dancer? Yeah.

He was a dancer. Was he? Yeah. Not like professionally. Oh, definitely not. I've seen my father move and I can tell you with certainty he has no professionality. I don't think I've ever seen your dad swing his hips.

Because he would be then in his mind gay if he did that I've seen my dad do like do like Colombian dancing with what you know Beatrice, you know like didn't you know, but like oh, yeah, I was like 16 when he did his when I saw him dance for the first time, you know, it was it was later in life Never seen your dad dance. What the hell is your dad do? Oh

That's a great question. I don't think I've ever seen it. You don't have like old family videos or movies? I remember when I was like 14, I told my dad, I don't know if I've ever seen you jump. Like, have you ever seen your dad jump? Yo, now that you say it, you know what I mean? No. Mad weird. Have you ever seen your dad run? I've seen my dad move with haste, but definitely not running. I don't even know if I've seen my dad move with haste. I've seen him wake up violently. I will say that...

coming home late and he was sleeping on the couch and just woke up violently. Like I was robbing. I will say this. If I saw your dad move with any, any haste, any haste, I would be scared. Yeah. Because minimal amount of haste is enough. Because like, that's like Jerome Bettis. Your dad is a, your dad is a thick guy. Yeah. You know, and him like get out of his way. Yeah. He's built like an Armadillo. I wouldn't even say Armadillo. I'd go a full army truck.

That too. He's built like a Humvee. Yeah, he is. You know? Like a beanbag standing up very hard. I remember, I think the quickest I've ever seen my dad move was when I was a kid and I was like throwing a tantrum. I remember this very clearly. I was throwing a tantrum and I said I was...

Like gonna run away and my dad was standing we had this like coffee table in front of the couch I'm gonna run away and I was doing like the whole like i'm gonna stand on this side of the coffee table while you're here And then like adjust so you're running away from him. Yes, and I went to run toward the door and he widened his stance Straddled the table and like a fucking crab like a spider like a spider Went and got me and grabbed me. Wow, it was crazy, dude

Dad's move quickly. Dad's move quickly when they need to. But I've never seen mine move quickly. I've seen him drive very fast on the way to high school. My dad used to sneeze like 15 times in a row when driving to school. The fastest thing about my dad was the force at which his sneezes came out. The fastest thing about my dad is how quickly he could throw up. Like before you know it, he's throwing up. Like he would just throw up a ton. Don't you have an uncle like that too?

Who would throw up a lot? No, who would get so grossed out from stuff. And didn't your dad tell him that he crapped in the shower and mashed it into the drain? Oh, yeah. He was joking, though. I know he was joking, but just to get a reaction out of him. No, I think my dad pukes like... Well, he used to puke like crazy. Really? Just for no reason. But stupid stuff. I remember one time we were cleaning out the garage and he was sweeping towards him, so all the dirt would hit his legs and then come up. Very stupid. And then he started throwing up everywhere. And I'm like, Dad...

And then, yo, me and Thomas were dying laughing and he's getting mad at us. Of course. While throwing up made it even worse. Even funnier, yeah. And then when we had that little pool we had in our backyard. He was trying to do like a siphon with a hose. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And the water is a swamp. It's green as fuck. There's shit growing out of it. Yes. And he goes. And then like, if you do that, then it continues to like siphon all the water out.

Wet in his mouth immediately starts throwing up everywhere. Oh, God. Love a good dad throwing up. I feel like, you know how women describe the ick when men do certain things or their potential partners? I would immediately get the ick if I saw my dad throw up. Like, you're not my dad anymore, bitch. Like, who are you? Who's this mess? You've never seen your dad throw up? I don't think so, no. Wait.

I've never seen my mom throw up. I've heard that she has. I've heard that my mom has thrown up. I've never seen her. But it's like an urban legend. Exactly. Parents, you know they get sick, but you never see them in being sick. That's weird. That's weird, right? I've definitely seen Keith throw up. I've seen... Shannon doesn't throw up. I've seen my brothers throw up. I think I've seen my sister throw up once or twice, but she's not a big thrower-upper. Yeah. And I've thrown up twice in the last 20 years, so...

Did you break that streak recently? I did, yeah, last year. When was that? Oh, yeah, that's right. After I got my vasectomy and they put me on narcotics for some reason. Yeah. What do you mean, yeah? That's crazy. They cut your balls in half. Of course they're going to give you some drugs. I did a big throw up. I did a big throw up and I was very upset. How many? How many? Like three throw ups. Oh, that's a big throw up. And I think afterward, I was most upset because the streak was broken. Yeah, yeah. But honestly, two times in 20 years is still pretty impressive.

Yeah, I went on a streak of having like food poisoning like three years in a row. That was whack. That's crazy, dude. It's super whack. That is nuts. But not all of those times did I throw up. Other times you threw up at your butt. I had diarrhea. I had cha-cha-cha. Yeah. Diarrhea, cha-cha-cha. Yeah. Yeah, diadoodle, as my mom says sometimes as well. She has a lot of names for it. Yeah, for some reason. My dog had diadoodle recently. What is going on? What is going on, dude?

Having a pet name for fucking diarrhea is... My mom was very nice, and she was a lovely mom. How about is still very nice and is a lovely mom? You said was a lovely mom, was very nice. She still is. Liz, you heard that? Get him. Get him. But yeah, let's not forget that Frankie called Bridget gay in second grade. Bigot. Moving on. Uh...

But listen, we just want to thank all you guys for all your support. And like today is the day. And I mean, I just can't even imagine. Like we said, today is not actually to us July 1st. But when this comes out, it'll be July 1st. We're recording this in September of 2023. What?

No. What is today's date? Don't look it up. I don't know. We're in June. I know what it is. What is it? Do you want me to say it when we're recording this? Does it matter? Yeah, it does. Why? Because you made me come into work on Juneteenth. Get them. Ladies and gentlemen, get them.

Ladies and gentlemen, get them so good. You made me come in. We were supposed to record tomorrow. I know. It's Miles' birthday tomorrow. Get them. No. First you said gay, now that? No. Two strikes, you're out. Different ballgame. But guys, thank you so much for all your support. July 1st, 10 a.m. The pre-sale code is basement. Go to thebasementyard.com.

We cannot believe this is happening. I cannot say that enough. And it's crazy. This just feels like, you know, just yesterday. And I'm sure some people who have been watching me for years and watching the podcast for the last four or five years have also feel the same way. But I mean, starting from yesterday,

and now we're at Radio City. Like, that's just not an arc that I could ever have thought about. Like, and I was like a dreamer. Like, I'm thinking of like fucking interviews with Barbara Walters and I would have not even at that point thought it would be like Radio City. Like, this is the craziest thing in the world and we just really hope to see all you guys, you know, out there.

I don't even know what the fuck. I don't even know how to end this. I don't think we do end it. I think we just say thank you, we love you, and we'll see you later. We'll see you on October 1st. Or, I mean, we might see some people before that. See, that's why I didn't say that, because that's excluding the people we might see before then, Joey. So can I do it? Can I end it now? Go ahead. All right, see, I lost it now. God damn it, Joey. It's okay, Frank. But guys, yeah, again, thank you so much. Hats off to you. Thank you to all...

Thank you to all the patrons. Thank you for all the support. Thank you so much for being supportive to the point where now we are able to do Radio City and go to thebasemirror.com and we'll see you there. Now we're just going to sign off by singing Thank You by Led Zeppelin. Go ahead. You start. I don't... Okay, never mind. I guess we won't. Bye, friends.
