#424 - Fatherhood With Cody Ko
01:05:50 Share

Welcome back to the Bay-

You didn't?

Oh, no. Oh, no. It's fine. Neither did I. I just kind of... Damn, I thought that was something else. It was chill. I thought it was chill. It was fine. This is going to be weird because normally I'm like this. Now I have to do this. So this is... Wait, where are you normally? Right here. But I'm normally just staring at him and his smoky eyes. And now I have to stare at you and your smoky eyes. Wow. I got to pivot and stuff like that. Compliments are flying today out of you. Do have to say... Yeah. Yeah.

inviting another white man here hurts me a little bit. Yeah, I know you're outnumbered now. So now it's just...

It is what it is. I was going to say, me and Cody have similar sort of careers in a way because we started doing YouTube as white dudes, and then we found a not white person to podcast with. You know what I mean? That is true. What's your ethnicity? I am Colombian, Greek, and Egyptian. He always says, like, you're definitely not. No, I definitely am. Definitely not what? He's like, Egyptian. I'm like, come on, dude.

My dad is a hundred percent Colombian. You know, that is a fact. My dad's a big, big Colombian. When you think of a Colombian dude, he looks just like him. They always said growing up. Yeah. No, no mustache. That's crime. Fun fact. My, my dad and mom went to his mansion for their honeymoon. Honeymoon. Yeah. Was he? Yeah. Wait, was he alive? I think he was either just like freshly dead or like in hiding.

Freshly dead. Yeah, my mom tells the stories all the time. Freshly dead. First of all, I have a question. Do. So, hold on. If he's in hiding and then your parents are like, we're going to just walk in his house? Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I don't think it was like a plan. Who's your dad, dude? Yeah, who does he know? That's what I mean. How did this happen? My dad knows people, I guess. I don't know. I could also, I'm probably just going to get like a fucking bullet in the back of the head as soon as I leave.

Yeah, seriously. It's like, honey, we just got married. Let's go to a fucking war zone. Yeah, my mom was like, they had like Komodo dragons and like big, she told me they had like crazy animals walking around and shit like that. Damn. And my mom, definitely out of her element. Not, not fitting in over there. Yeah. She's a little bit of a Karen. She's great. Is she really? Yeah.

God damn, dude. A little bit, yeah. What's a, what's a, wait, she's Greek and, oh, she's Egyptian. Greek and Egyptian, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Oh, you know what? I believe you now. Because I forget. Your mom's very like, she's brown. Fucking careful. What? 26 years you've known me and now you believe me? Yeah, honestly, because I never thought about that. I thought that she was also like Colombian or something. But now I think that, I know she's Greek. Yeah. Okay, makes sense. The hair gives away full white for you, Cody. Yeah.

Yes, yeah, I'm fully white. Full. There's no like pepper. Canadian white. I just looked at my 23andMe. White as shit, dude. What? Yeah, I'm white as shit. You said Canadian white, yeah. Oh, you're from Canada? Canada? Why the fuck did I do that? Canada, yeah. Round of applause. You're from Canada? Yeah, yeah. What part?

Calgary, Alberta. Why did you even ask that? You don't know where that is. Do you know where that is? That's right near Manitoba. Yes. Nailed it. No. It's the only other place in Canada he probably knows. Where is that in relation to the United States? You really want to know? Yeah. It's above us. Fucking what an idiot. I got him so good. Which state? Which state? It's like right above the middle. Which middle state? You know, the middle one. The middle, it could mean anything.

The middle of our country, continentally. Yeah. Right above? I don't think that's how you use that word, but... Continentally. By the way, Calgary is nowhere near Manitoba. See, you know, you... Absolutely nailed it. See, that's what it is. He already knows. You just say shit with such conviction. He's got that classic white gaslighting. Here it is. Now you're not going to double gaslight the whites right now. That's not happening.

But we appreciate you being here. No, thank you for having me. Can I just say I'm a huge fan of this show? Thanks. And I love what you guys do. And I know you guys don't have guests very often. So I very much appreciate you having me on.

Yeah, when I hit you up and I was like wait what because I'm laughing because before we turn the cameras on he was like You guys don't really do guess. It's like oh, we had trouble all son. He's like, oh, I was like, okay. It's like what was that? We're like three years ago Okay, so you'd never have guests on yeah, basically, yeah No, well, yeah. Well the part that you didn't realize is at the end of this you have to pick which one of us you want to kiss Yeah, that's fine. No pressure. Wait, why do I have to pick?

At least I'm in the conversation. What the fuck? But you and, now you and Joey linked up to do a show years ago. Eight years ago. I wanted to talk about that because I thought it was really funny. It was in, when I lived in LIC, he came, uh, cause you were going to some event, I think. And, uh,

We recorded an episode of his podcast, and I just ended up talking about diets the whole time. Oh, my God. He named it Joe Santagato the Dietitian or something like that. No, but I remember it being funny, though. I honestly don't remember. I just remember being like, why did I? I can already tell you it's definitely not funny. It was. I can guarantee I knew exactly what it was because around that time, he had tried.

Chewed my ear off about intermittent fasting. Oh, yeah. Well, I was like fucking around with it, but I was doing a lot of different shit. My sister is a registered dietitian. Same. And... That's fucking weird. And not from Canada, though. Okay. She's from Manitoba, all the way across. You know, I knew it wasn't. And not white. She is not white. Everything's about race on this show, by the way. Everything. But...

At the time, he had said to me, he was like, do you know that breakfast is actually not the most important meal of the day? And I was like, no, it fucking is. A fallacy. No, this is not a fallacy. This is what you said. Whether you were fucking around and really just kind of pushing my buttons a little bit. What was I saying then? That it's not, because you were talking about intermittent fasting and you were like, it's a myth created by big cereal. Big breakfast. Big milk. Wait, wait. I was just listening to this podcast. It was all about marketing.

And like this guy, he was like a he's like a marketing master. He like came up with like one of the biggest probiotic brands and like invented the entire category basically. Okay. And he's done like a lot of historical research on marketing. And the one thing the one like really cool case study that he was talking about was bacon was never a breakfast food.

Until like the 40s when this brand wanted to sell more bacon. And they got like handwritten notes from like 5,000 doctors that said, yeah, we think that bacon in the morning is probably a smart move because it's like it'll give you more energy throughout your day. So they made that a breakfast food just to sell more bacon. Yeah, at least it does it with cigarettes too. It's like you got a back egg, smoke a cigarette, you'll be fine. I'm on his side. You can't trust anything. I will say Big Bacon, we should have known not to trust Big Bacon.

Big milk. We got a huge problem with big milk. Gigantic milk. We got a big problem with them. They just came out of nowhere. They're like, by the way, good for your bones. And we were just like, cool. Dude, it's crazy because now... Same with orange juice. Orange juice is fucking shitty for you. Sugar. But every mom everywhere was convinced that it helped your eyesight. Carrots. Wait, is that... Carrots is real though. Vitamin C. Vitamin C. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because they put... Yeah, but I think... No, you don't think big carrot...

Is the one that's responsible for carrots fixing your eyes? That's big carrot. No, it's real though. Big carrot's real. Please, I love carrots. You can love carrots. It's not bad for you. You're getting manipulated by big carrots. Don't be an idiot, bro. You're going to eat carrots and be like, yo, suddenly I don't need glasses? This isn't happening. I'm getting attacked right now. Also, what does good for your eyes mean? Are eyes vision? Yes. Wait, no, no, no.

Seriously. I think that's what it means. No, it just makes your eyes... Gooder. Gooder. The white parts are whiter and they're not as like... Big carrot, I want to make things more white. I saw that coming. See, that's what I'm saying. Everything's about race, ladies and gentlemen. There's a thing that's like, if the food looks like a certain part of your body, that's the part it's good for. They use the examples of carrots and eyes. And they're like, look at carrots. Carrots, shouldn't it be your dick? Trust me, I've had enough carrots. No.

No, but like for me, it would be like a baby carrot. If you cut a carrot, when you look at the inside, it looks like an eye. It doesn't. It does, dude. It literally doesn't. It kind of does. It's got like the ring. Literally doesn't. And the other ring. It doesn't. And then they say walnuts are good for your brain. What does a walnut look like? Frankie, okay. A big blanket statement that whatever food it looks like is going, it's helpful for that. Name a third. Don't, don't, don't. Back me up here. What's good for your ears? Well, no, I was going to fucking do nothing.

Cool. Because your ears are completely separate. So if you really want to understand. I don't. As soon as your hands are up in the air, I know it's bullshit. No, no. Walk us through it, please. I don't know. If you really want to know. Ask your sister. She'll back me up here. Didn't you just start this conversation by saying your sister was a registered dietitian? Yes. Does she tell you that? Yes, she. She backs you up on this? She does. She backs me up on this. She doesn't. She does. She does. No. Joey was, oh, mister. That is so on brand for Joey to be like, I'm going to talk a whole podcast about dieting.

He's such like a, he comes on here and drops like little like, like, oh, I'll be like, oh, what was your weekend like? He was like, oh, it was great, man. Went for like a six mile run and I want to fucking strangle him. He's running a marathon in two days. No, I hate that. I do hate that. Why? Because it sucks.

I told him I ran like three miles once and he lost his mind. I was like, it's not even that crazy. He comes in, he's like, oh, oh, I ate such great food today. I was like, oh, what do you have? And he's like, a soy impossible sausage. And I'm like, find yourself a building and jump right off of it. I hate it so much. I don't do that. Wait, so you're against eating healthy or working out or what? Absolutely not. All of it. Contrary to what I look like, I'm pretty –

I'm pretty pro eating healthy. I have, I got dietary issues. You know, tummy, my tummy's a bad guy. He's got a rumbly tumbly. I do have rumbly tumbly. Did I say that? Yeah.

But like, I just, I hate it when it's like the whole thing about the person, you know, like Joe will go out and he'll have like 16 beers and he'll talk about how he had like fucking like vegan nachos. And I'm like, come on, dude. Talk about the 34 Coors lights that you poured down. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. It's admirable. It's admirable. So you're here running the New York marathon. Yes. That's crazy. Yeah, it is. It's awesome. But we're not going to talk about it anymore.

Oh, because I don't want to. Well, I don't want to like. Don't piss him off. Yeah, exactly. I don't know. I mean, I don't want to make it my whole thing. That's pretty sick. And that's admirable. Anyone who goes out of their way, like if you were to make a whole YouTube channel or an Instagram or something, you would think that's fucking like. No.

Who would do that? Put it like this. Like merch, you know, like merch for it. No, yeah. You wouldn't do that. You doing it is sick. If he did it, I would tear him to shreds. What are you on right now? Nothing. Cocaine. Right now? What's your coke routine right now? No, I'm not really doing anything. I mean, I haven't even ran a half in my life, so it's not like that.

I would like to run a marathon one day, but big commitment. Are you still fasting? Intermittent fasting? I wasn't even fasting. I was intermittent fasting. I think you tried it for a little bit. I used to do that. I liked it a lot. I did try intermittent fasting. It was 16-8 or whatever the fuck. Yeah. Like 16 hours off and 8 on. I like that a lot. Does it actually work?

Like, for someone like me who loves food to death, like, I would just eat and eat and eat. Like, it just helps me. It's just, like, an easy rule to follow and helps me control calories, I find. I don't do it really anymore, but, like, when I did do it, I liked doing it. And you kind of, like, live what you, like, learn how to live with being hungry in the morning. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't really eat breakfast that often anyway because I'm not, like, hungry. Because you don't think it's the most important meal of the day. Here we go. That's it.

Does your sister say it's the most important meal of the day? I think she said the adage is that it is very important because it is, you know, in the name. You're breaking the fast. So, like, you want your body to start on a somewhat healthy kick for the rest of the day. You know, not sitting there saying, like, you have to suck down a Sunny D and, you know. Oh, I could suck down a Sunny D right now. I would crush a Sunny D and a Kool-Aid. Really? I actually haven't had a Kool-Aid since I threw up when I had one. Oh.

I had a red Kool-Aid food punch, I guess. And I threw up all over my mom's stairs that were carpeted. She was not happy, dude. She made me clean it. When was this? This was... Back when... Two weeks ago. I was eight. Back when Trevor Walls was on the podcast. Well, I'm one of those people, if I throw up... Back when Trevor Walls was on the podcast. Whenever I throw up from something, I'm like, well, that's that. I'm never doing that again. Yeah. Either the restaurant or the food. I'm like, I'm done with that for life. Kelsey's the same way. She'll like...

We'll like eat, like we'll have like Thai food and she'll have like a weird piece of chicken and be like, well, that's it for Thai food for six months. I do the same thing. That makes sense. You get burnt and you don't want to get burnt. You know, you don't touch the stove if it's hot. You know what I'm saying? You tried to say that expression, but you didn't. A roundabout way, we understand. It worked. I'm like that, but not with the specific food, just with the whole restaurant.

I do that too. So like I recently ordered something and it was like a spicy chicken sandwich, but it was like 99% breading and it was too much fucking oil. And I said to my wife, I was like, I don't care if I were to get like just like a single drink from this place. I will never do it again. We're never stepping foot in this place ever again. Yeah, never. I got wild food poisoning from that place Crave. Close down. Thank God. Crave.

It was like a small restaurant. Yeah, it was like a small restaurant where we were. But I remember it was like, yo, my stomach is on fire. And we went axe throwing. Yes, we did. Yes, we did. Like, oh, we're going to go out afterwards. I'm like, I'm going to go home and probably die. I think that was my birthday.

I thought I had a bowel obstruction because my stomach was like just filled with like what felt like fluid. And I'm like, there's a, I have a cork in me somewhere and I need to like, you need it. And then I just started throwing up like crazy. You needed a, uh, it was awesome. What are they called? Enema. That's what you needed. That would have, that would have fixed the whole thing.

Did you listen to the part where it came out here? Oh, well. What I needed was a bottle of Epicac. Oh, I mean, you had one, apparently. Yeah. Yeah. Also, I took a bath. That's what did it. Isn't that weird? Really? I was up all night. Like, I can't sleep because I feel like... Like, I don't know what's happening. I don't know where it's going to come from. And I just couldn't sleep. And then eventually, I just fucking threw up everywhere. It was awesome. Not sick. I actually felt amazing after I threw up. I was like, I can go like...

You can go 10 rounds with Tyson right now. I was like, I'm chilling. I can just do it. But anyway, you're having a baby soon. Yes. When is the due date? January.

Early January. Early January. That's where my daughter was born, January 7th. Oh, really? Yeah. Oh, nice. Yeah, so congrats. Thank you. That's the perfect time to have a baby because then you just, in addition to having a baby, which is an excuse to just say no to everything, you can now just stay home because it's cold. Yes, I know. It's perfect. He lives in LA. That's right. Cold-ish. But I am actually very much looking forward to just staying at home for three months. Yeah. And not doing anything. Yeah, yeah.

Not feeling guilty about not doing anything. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm really pumped for that. What? You got a baby. I can't go out. Yeah, exactly. I can't travel. I can't do shit. Sorry. Now, I think you said off-air you're having a boy, right? Yeah. What name? Are you going with cool names? Like you're going to go with like, this is Korthok the Barbarian? Korthok? How did you know that? Can you imagine? How the fuck did you? Did Kelsey tell you? Korthok. I went to Manitoba and there's a big name in Manitoba. All right.

That's a big name in Manitoba. I'm assuming you're not saying the name. Winnipeg, I think. There you go. So name our son Canada because we're Canadian. Yeah, yeah. You're not saying the name. No, no. We haven't said it. We do have one that we really like. Probably like 98% decided on it, but I don't know if you're the same way. Like, I want to like meet him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's the exact same way. Do you have any names you're like, definitely not that? Yeah, Korthok was.

If it came out, if this child came out Korthok. That'd be kind of dope. That would have been pretty sick. I would ask. I'd be like, what is that? Maybe there's something I don't know about. It's a Dothraki king, actually. Well, my nephews, their names are Zeke and Steel. Really? Yeah. My brother named his kids that. Growing up, I asked my parents the number one name that I wanted to name my future child was Zeke.

Yeah, Z-E-K-E. For some reason. Not Korthok? Yeah, not Korthok, believe it or not. No, it was Zeke and...

I guess that was it. But I knew a kid named Steel growing up. Yeah? Yeah. It's like a white lacrosse name, apparently, like in Long Island. Steel. My brother's out there. It's kind of a sick-ass name. That's kind of me. It's like, I think they were like, wasn't there like a kid's cartoon and the guy was named like Max Steel or something like that when we were kids? That sounds like porn, dude. I think you're confusing porn. No, no. Cartoons, dude. I'm pretty sure I'm not confusing porn. I don't know. What are you talking about, man? His name was Steel Cock.

It was like Big Steel Dick or something I don't know No I Yeah I'm pretty sure It was like Max Steel But like Are you going You don't Obviously Not gonna tell us the name That's fine But like Are you going I'll tell you off air Oh shit Wow Yeah yeah I will I don't I've been We've been telling people It's kind of interesting Getting people's reaction Because like They don't They're not gonna change our minds Right But it is kind of Like it's fun to see Some people are like Some people are like Oh So it's not a name like Mike Yeah

And I'm like, so you don't like it? And they're like, no. Yeah. No, no, it's cool. It's cool. Yeah, I can see it. We had... We're like, you fucking hate it. I can tell. I just like, I can't taste it.

Yeah, yeah. I just, you know, I'll have to see them. Yeah, exactly. With my first daughter, we told people the name and everyone unanimously was like, oh yeah, we love her. Her name is Ruby. And my second daughter. Ruby. Oh, that's sick. Yeah, thank you. If I have a daughter, I want to name her Rudy because that's my grandpa's name. Rudy? Rudy.

Oh, like Rudith. Yeah. I like that. That's a name? I don't know. What is it now? Isn't it? When you said it, I was like, yes, but I never thought of that. Oh, like Rudith. Rudith. Yes. Thank you. Exactly. Finally. That's the missing piece right there. I just needed one more. Let's use deductive reasoning here. Judith. Judy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So naturally, Rudith. Rudy. I mean, come on. That's not really how names work at all. So my second daughter is Maeve.

And we did it. Short for Maveth, right? But like we didn't tell anyone because we had another name in mind and we told, I forgot who it was. Someone in my family, we told them the name and they were like,

Okay. And we were like, oh, so you're going to hate this child. I'm like, no, no, no. We're going to love the baby no matter what. But it's a weird introductory thing. It's like you're using a name that you obviously don't like. And it was just weird. I guess if it's someone in your family that has a really – Yeah, if it was somebody else. Then, yeah, that would throw me off it a little bit. Yeah. And then we had other names that after Maeve was born and we were telling our family other names that we had. And my brother flat out was just like –

okay. And we're like, you don't like that? He's like, no, pretty lib of you. And I was like, what the hell? Pretty lib? Yeah, my brother's like woke up. He was gonna name his daughter Joe Biden. Yeah. This is my beautiful daughter, Kamala. And this is my other daughter, AOC. There you go. Yeah. But, yeah. This is my son, Vaccine. Yeah.

My son, vaccine. Kind of a cool name though. Are you? Vax is a fucking sick name. It is a sick name. Dude, that would be pretty sick. Short for? Yeah, maybe I should name him like Weapon or something. Weapon? Weapon. I kind of like that. What was the one? What's the famous one that people always bring up as a... Chlamydia. Chlamydia.

Well, chlamydia would be a pretty sick person name. I saw the one that... Oh, amphibian is what I said. Amphibian. Pilot inspector. You remember that one? What? There's a celebrity. I think it's Jason Lee, I think. And he named his... Who the fuck is Jason Lee? My name is Earl. I could be butchering this. Oh my God. The pro skater? No.

No. Yeah, yeah. Was he a pro skater? He was a pro skater and still is, I think. Really? Oh, no, he's old as fuck now, but hold on, I got one. I think, like, he named his pants are a little tight. Can't get into the pockets, dude. They're a wee bit taut. I think he named his kid Pilot Inspector. Wait, isn't Jason... That's fucked up. And Inspector was spelled with a K, which makes it... Like Wu-Tang? Inspector Deck? Yeah.

Damn, dude. Yeah, which makes it a little scarier. I didn't even know that was a job. Hey, guys. Hate to interrupt, but we do have some sponsors for today. The first one being BetterHelp.

Is she in Canada? She's in Calgary. Yeah. Oh, okay. But it's like a pretty short flight from LA and it's cool that we're going to have kids that are like basically the same age. Yeah. Yeah. Which is awesome. So I'm, I'm just fired up. Is that your first niece or nephew? Yeah. And your sister's the registered dietitian. Did you name the baby breakfast?

She did she named it bacon. Oh my god, dude. There are so many better jokes Big comedy came right back there. Did she name it listen man? You know, this is how the sausage More breakfast foods now. I'm liking it. I'm coming around. I'm coming around. Did you name it dietitian? Dietitian

How old is your sister? Younger? Older? Older. She's 35. Yeah, 35. Because I look at him like our sisters are the same age. That's why. Yeah. The only reason that he would know because your sister is also 35. She's a lactation consultant, so. Is she really? Yeah. Damn. We've got all the bases covered here. We're the idiots of the family. You can't tell. And everyone else has got it covered as far as like, you know.

Whatever you need. Dietitian, lactation. We just did a breastfeeding class. How did you do? I'm also a lactation consultant now. Pretty much, yeah. I've been a specialist since 15. I'm so sorry. What does that mean? That means you have been breastfeeding? Oh, that was the first time you sucked a tit. Boobies, boobies, dude. Boobies, guys. You sucked a tit for the first time at 15? You don't remember what my... I don't remember the first time you sucked a tit, no. I don't remember the first time, but there's a joke my middle school girlfriend...

She would refer to me as the milkman. Why? I don't know, man. Because he sucked her tits. Yeah. It was not like out of the... She's not lactating. She definitely wasn't, but like, you know, I don't know why. Like, that was like a crazy thing. Like, everyone... I didn't know that, by the way, when I was younger. I thought that, like, at all times, milk was...

Available? Yeah. Well, you suck on it long enough. I'm sure it'll come out. That's a real thing, you know? Is it really? On a different podcast that I do, we interview people anonymously, and there was a girl who had a breastfeeding fetish, and she's not lactating or anything, and she's never had a baby, never been pregnant. And she's like, if you just sit there and suck on a tit for four hours, eventually... Milk will come out? Yeah, apparently. It tricks the brain and the...

Say the science stuff. Hormones. I don't know the science stuff. But like, it legitimately, it like tricks them, like the brain and the hormones into thinking like, oh, they're sucking because there's something here. There's a baby that needs the milk. So it'll just be like, all right, let's. That's like panic milk though. It's probably sucks. Yeah. It's probably sick. The panic milk. Why not? I don't know. Like, where's that coming from?

I still don't get it, dude. I don't get it. It doesn't make sense. I don't understand. Well, you're the specialist. No, it's fucking crazy. It's insane. It really makes it clear that we're just like animals. Yeah, it's like... Like we're no different from little fucking puppies that come out of the womb and are like... You know? Yeah, and like... One more time.

Yeah, I would like to say. No, that's what literally like human kids, like they come out, their like eyes are closed, but somehow they like find the nipple. Yeah. And they know how to like breathe and sneeze and like do, you know. And they weren't in there. They weren't breathing in there. That's the craziest thing to me. That's the part that freaks me out. They're just in there chilling and everything is going through this tube. In water. Which is like, why would they cut that off?

Yeah. It seems awesome. Well, that's why I just be connected. Yeah. Like a wallet, like a chain wallet. Everything you need coming through your fucking, what? Like a chain wallet. Yeah. Like attached to your hip. Got it. Well, that's why there, there are some like people that take like more like natural ways, like approaches to birth and they give birth in bathtubs. Yeah. You say it's like,

It's like a more natural way to come into the world. You're going from fucking one pool into the other. Yeah. And you're popping out. Literally pool sometimes. They blow up a pool, put it in your living room, and you just fucking fart them out. I knew someone that did a birth tub bath. What? A birth tub bath? Yeah.

Well, technically, yeah. It was a bathtub bath. After the birth, it was a birth tub. No, I knew someone that did a bathtub birth. Someone gave birth in it and then someone else took a bath in that birth tub bath. That's no good. Yeah, it sounds like a ritual of some sort. No, it was like a... And it was like years and years and years ago when it was like a freaky, like, you know...

super hippie thing to do. We might do it in the cold plunge. Yeah. That would be fire. Just come out. Just cold as fuck. Baby just fucking comes out Joe Rogan. He's just holding him. He's like, two minutes. Just do two minutes. Do two minutes. You'll be fucking fine. That's kind of crazy. But they can breathe like underwater basically, right? They have to cut the... It comes through the tube. That's insane. By the way, three straight men here. Yeah, yeah.

The least qualified to be talking about this. It's nice to know that you also don't know a lot about it either. Yeah. And I feel like something that's similar to what you said when you had your first kid too, every single guy, because my sister has kids, my brother has kids, all the dudes say the same thing. When they first have children in the first couple of months, it's like, dude, I'm fucking useless. Oh, yeah, yeah. I can't do anything. There's no point. They just want the mom. The mom has to do pretty much everything. And you're like, all right, maybe she wanted me to touch him.

Do you want me to? Yeah. Dude, you're a butler, dude. It's like, go get that. Yeah. And then shut up. Yeah. That's the first, one of the first things I said to him, it was like, there is no point for me to be here. Like I, I gave her the seat and that like,

I could have walked away and she could have done it all by herself. Isn't it crazy that somehow men were able to trick women into thinking that like we were better than them? Yeah. Like they're doing all the shit and we're like, cool. Well, but we're, we're in charge. It's our, we're the man. That must be tough, but you know what's harder? Being a CEO. Yeah. Yeah.

How does a pharaoh... I mean, women can also be CEOs. I know, but I'm saying back in the 60s, that's when this fucking first started. Women can work, Frank. Jesus. Don't turn this around on me now. No, it's fine. Now I'm getting attacked here. No, it's crazy, though. The pharaohs and stuff were all these dudes, and I'm like, oh my god, he's a god. It's just a dude. That was it. But a woman gives birth, and everyone's like, all right.

I don't know. No big deal. It's like, how is this not a big deal? Yeah. This is incredible. Like, this shit is happening. They are creating life and then walking around with the most discomfort I could ever imagine. Like, I remember something that was like their organs shift. And it was like their organs, like, things are, like, up here. Their ribcage is, like, out there. Becca was...

My wife, with both of our daughter's pregnancies, she was like, oh, you see that right there? I was like, oh, is that a cute kick? She's like, no, that foot is pressing up against my rib cage right now, and I want to scream. Can you imagine what that's like? Dude, our kid goes fucking crazy in there.

Really? It's every night. Her stomach is like, it's fucking crazy. Yeah, she's ready. It looks like an alien or something, you know, when someone has one under their skin and it's pushing out. It looks like that. I can't even imagine what that would be like from the inside. There's like a thing moving around. My wife asked me this question, so I'll ask you. If you could feel what it felt like to carry a baby and birth a baby, would you? No.

Damn, that's like a, I feel like it's a loaded question. Yeah, dude. You better not be fucking on Twitter. People are watching this Twitter. Yes, of course. Of course. Yes, I would like to go through that. I'm a little curious. Curious, sure. Like, I don't think I'd like to give, I don't think I'd like to give birth. What's the,

What's the muscle? The simulator? Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. I would do that. Oh, yeah. Just like the strap on the belly? Yeah. I guess we could do that. No, but they put like muscle stimulators on you and they crank it so that you could feel like contractions. Oh, my God. You didn't know that? No. Oh, yeah. Yeah, so it's like you can simulate a birth in that way. Are you supposed to do that while she's actually going into labor? I'm sure that's been done before. Like, I'm with you, baby. I'm with you, hun. Yeah, she's like, hold my hand. I'm like, you hold my fucking hand. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

It's like, we're going through this together. Fuck. I'm sure that's happened at least once. Yeah. Cause I, when the conversation came up, cause I was saying to her, I was like, I can only imagine like how like rewarding it feels to like birth these beautiful children and like seeing them grow. And she's like, would you do it? And I was like, no, no, no, I would not. Yeah. I mean, I feel like that's just, you know,

That's a toughie to kind of... I've already made it 31 years without even thinking about that. It's also hard to find the time to do that when we're busy being CEOs. Yeah, that's it. That's it. You know what I mean? Whoa! Because we're working jobs, you know, Frank? Busy being CEOs. 1960s, man. That's when it all started. It was a good time. Yeah, you just... Was it? For who, Joey? You? You? For them, apparently. You? You? For them, apparently. You just drink scotch all day, smoke cigarettes indoors, and...

I've never... That's the life. Go home and hate your wife? It's crazy. Like Mad Men. I'm joking. Let's get that out of the way. There's this fucking Chinese guy on TikTok or on Instagram or something, but he posts these reels and it's just him going out

In a Range Rover. I don't know how this guy like has money or affords this or whatever, but he drives his Range Rover out. He buys like 15 cartons of cigarettes, puts them in his truck or in his trunk, goes home, throws them all in a drawer, takes out a pack. And then he orders like $300 worth of delivery, cracks like 10 beers and just sits there and smokes and drinks and eats. That's the whole thing? And just sighs with relief. Yeah. And it's fucking a dream life. Yeah.

I've never- Cartons of cigarettes. I've never smoked- I can't imagine. Slowly committing suicide right there on Instagram. But imagine being that comfortable with that. Yeah, just like- Submitting to your vices and being like, this is my life, and I'm cool with that. I'm going to die early. Yeah. And I'm fine with that. He's got no marathons to run or anything. Nothing. Yeah. Absolutely. He's like, I don't need much out of this life. I just want these goddamn cigarettes. I've never smoked a cigarette, but there is something so appealing about smoking indoors. Totally.

What? You're like, I never smoked a cigarette, but there's something so appealing. And you went... You're missing out, dude. Dude. You should get on him. I'm at a point in my life where... You should get addicted to him, dude. Give it like 10... Once the kids start talking back, that's the perfect time to do it. You've got to go outside. Because nothing drives home like an angry dad yelling at you. Like they're just yelling at you and then they just ash a cigarette on the table. That's true, actually. Or just out in the front yard, freezing, just...

Yeah, yeah, yeah. My fucking kids hate me. I'm a horrible father. Teenagers. You got to do this. Yeah. Keep your jacket closed. Are you worried about when your kids become teenagers and they start hating you?

When they become teenagers? I've read some tweets from dads recently that are like, oh yeah, my kids are at the age now where they fucking hate me and it's like the biggest heartbreak I've ever felt in my entire life. Yeah, they probably just want independence so badly. What? They probably want independence so badly that they're like, okay. Yeah, I mean, I think like, I don't think I ever really hated my parents, but I don't know. Your parents are sick though, dude. Oh dude, I hated my parents a lot. Were you shitty to them?

I mean, I'm sure I said and did some shitty things. My parents hated him, that's for sure. Yeah, and that was nice of his parents and I were my parents. So, you know, what do you think about that? It's just like, I think it's weird because my wife, I've like said this, I'm like, oh, there's going to be a time where the kids hate us. And my wife is like, oh, I don't think I ever argued with my dad growing up. Like he was my like idol. And I was like, oh, fuck, man. Damn, that's fire. Yeah, that must be nice. But yeah, I mean, I'm more interested in finding out like,

When they find the show. You know? Oh, I know. The things that we've said on the internet and, like, done. And they're just, like, that's going to raise some eyebrows. Because it's all going to look so dumb in, like, even five years. Like, five years ago, I can be like, what the hell was that? You know? No, totally. But 10 yet 20? Like,

18 years from now, you're going to be like, what was I doing? I really hope the internet just doesn't exist. They just cancel it. They're like, we're just going to... It's something else entirely. This is like the dusty VHS. You can't really run anymore. Run.

It still exists, but they can't find a way to watch it. You could buy it on eBay. Yeah, exactly. I think it's going to be like it becomes so polluted with so much that you can't find one thing. You know what I mean? It's going to be harder to find one specific thing. Yeah, yeah. 800 million versions of it out there. Yeah, yeah. You got to go to some sub-community and sift through a fucking box to find this. I feel like all that live streaming shit will probably be like...

TV. Like those people who just live stream like their entire day. Like I feel like right now it's like a popular thing on like Twitch or whatever the fuck. Yeah, dude. IRL. IRL. That's what I was just trying to think of the word that it was. It's fun. It's like ironic too that it's like

IRL, but it's all kind of like set up and scripted. Yeah, it's fake. Just like reality TV. It's all BS. It's nuts to see. But a lot of them just go out and do it in public and like go to parties and just do it. Yeah. So it is sort of real, but it feels like wrong. Yeah, it's just, that to me is so weird. Live in the moment, babe. You know what I'm saying? It's not like that. Be present. I just mean like for the other people.

Oh, yeah. If, think about it like this, because you're the same age as us. If we grew up in 2004 and someone came in with a camcorder to a party, like a house party or something, that person would have been thrown down the stairs and their camera would have been smashed to bits. Yeah. Like, what's going on? Yeah. I don't know. Smashed to bits. It would have been little bits. What was that? It was a British accent. Yeah. No, I know. That's what it was. More of like, why was my question. Because we're doing that now. Yeah. Oh, that's cool.

I gotta admit, I feel ganged up on here. Yeah. I don't like this. No, I was on your side for that. Oh, thanks, man. I was on your side. Fuck you, dude. But yeah, so, I mean, you're having a kid, you're running the marathon. Really nice. You get to sneak one in right before you have a child because, I don't know, the training regimen for that. How long do you actually train for a marathon? A marathon's not that crazy. Six months? Four? No, it was like five.

Yeah, probably four. I don't know. So I did an Ironman in April. Yeah. That was the actual... I trained for eight months for that. Oh, so this is kind of like... And then I've sort of been in... I've been just sort of running on and off ever since then. So the serious training for this has been two months, probably. Is Ironman the one where you'll be like... You jump over an inflatable Dorito, and then you get tased? Yeah.

No, that's American Ninja Warrior. Oh, okay. Are you... Can you do... No, no. That's next, man. What's stopping you? Do you remember MXC? Do you ever watch that? Oh, my God. Is that the Asian show? I love that show. The Asian show? Yeah, dude. Where they dubbed it. Oh, yeah.

And like trying to get up a mountain, they're like, we're just going to roll this boulder down. Yeah. Just like knocks everyone on their ass. I remember very specifically watching that show because it would come on after like when Raw, WWE was on like Spike TV. Yeah, Spike TV. And then it would come on right after. And then Joey, you remember he used to handwrite the –

entirety of that show Mansers and he would recite it in his normal life. Oh, this is, okay. That's a bit. Oh yeah, I get it. That's a bit. Also, I didn't even know what the fuck you were talking about, but now I do remember what that show was. Who was it? What was it again? You don't remember Mansers? I know it was, oh, it was Jimmy Kimmel. Yeah, Jimmy Kimmel. No, that was the man show. Oh. Then I have no idea what this is. Tim, what a golden era for men entertainment. It's like, let's get on a thing and hate women real quick. Yeah, starting in 1920. Yeah, yeah. I mean, you know.

No, it was like a show where it was like a guy would, it would like, they'd like pose a question like, uh, I don't know what's going on, but like every time I go out, my farts reek like big fucking stinky butts. And it'd be like, here's the science answer for you, man. It was so... Oh, fuck. I remember that. You remember that shit, right? Oh my God. It was so stupid. Hold on. I got to...

Mansers. So it was like a scientific but stupid question. The questions that men ask. Yeah. You know, like, dude, my girlfriend's knockers are too big. What do I do? Just like stupid shit that was appealing to the lowest common denominator of people. That's good. And Joey. Spike TV. Yeah. I never saw that. Mansers. Four seasons. Look at the fucking flyer for this, dude.

Is that a dude in just like muscle cars? Dude, that is not a dude. I can't see. That looks like a not dude. Oh, that's a woman. That is a not dude. Yeah. That looks like a mixtape cover. It does. Yeah. That looks like they repurposed the poster for Hustle and Flow. Just put a scantily clad woman on it. Scantily clad. Okay.

But with Babbel, it makes it a lot easier. And I feel like they've

done it the right way and they sort of gamified the experience of learning another language whereas school just didn't do it for me and especially us Americans most of us only speak English and you spend five seconds in Europe and you're like everyone speaks two or three languages and now I just feel left out so Babbel is going to help you out with that if you use Babbel like I said there's studies also studies from Yale Michigan State University they say that Babbel is better for instance one study found out that Babbel

Using Babbel for 15 hours is equivalent to a full semester at college. A full semester and 15 hours in Babbel. That's kind of nuts. They have over 10 million subscriptions sold. It's a real language learning for real conversation. So, you know, if you want to learn another language, whatever language it is, go for it. I mean...

Manswers. Manswers, yeah. So would you ever do like American Ninja Warrior? Do you think like that? Oh, I would definitely do that. Doesn't that look like the most fun thing ever? It does. 100%. I would 100% do that. Do you have the same? There's a place by me where I live that is, it's like set up that way. It's like a whole thing like that. They have the wall that you have to run up to. No way. Yeah. It's like a whole thing. But can you just go? Yeah, you can get like a day pass and just go. And then they have like nights where like you can. Should we do it?

How long have you been here, dude? Yeah, we could be Ninja Warriors. Like, I've walked by there on, like, a Friday night, and there's a bunch of people in there, like, fucking doing...

Like crazy shit. Drink excessively and go. Hey, man. That would be so fun. I feel like... He was going to shit on me and then you said it would be fun and now he's like, hey, man, maybe... No, I was going to say I feel like I'm not going to be able to do a lot of those things sober. Me neither. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You'd need the confidence that alcohol would give you. You know what I mean? I'm so dumb that I'm like, I could get up that wall no problem. But then you walk by it and you're like, that's high though. Dude, I watched them from the couch just like...

Looking like an idiot. This guy sucks. I was just like, dude, grab the ring. It's right there. Grab it. You're fucking idiot. This guy's fucking unathletic. Look at this fucking guy. Hammered at 10 a.m. The one that gets me is like... This guy does not have his shit together. Yeah. They have to like fucking like pull the bar out and then like go up. That one looks so hard. Yeah. That's how many of those I would do. Not even a full... That's just such a perfect...

American television show. It really is. Just like one of those things where you hear the concept and you're like, what? Yeah. How would that work? And then it's on and you're just standing there like, you know, and you look down at your watch and it's been 45 minutes. You're like, holy fuck. Like American Gladiators. Love that show. Bro, I... Let's take normal people and put jacked athletes and beat the shit out of them. Well, do you remember...

Speaking of Spike TV, you remember Pros vs. Joes? Love that. And it would be like, can this fucking plumber from Wisconsin catch a pass off Michael Irvin? It's like, no, he cannot, dude. And he'd get, like, torched. It's like, let's see if this IT guy can go three rounds with Mike Tyson. Ha!

What the fuck are you doing? It was fucking stupid. It was literally a boxing one. I think it was like De La Hoya was in there just fucking people up. Really? Yeah, because they would put like regular people and they would have professionals. I remember it was like Shaq was in – I think it was Shaq who was boxing actually or something. Imagine a normal person being punched by a 400-pound man who's 10 foot tall. Like this is insane. The only one of those shows that I realistically thought like – of like the like sports competition shows that like I could fucking do this was either Guts –

Or Legends of the Hidden Temple? You don't remember Legends of the Hidden Temple? No. Canada, bro. That's right, dude. What did you guys watch? Just like sap come from a tree? Okay, that's offensive. Dude, that's like racist, I feel like. You're canceled, dude. Imagine like American Ninja Warrior. It's 2023, man. You can't say shit like that. But for kids.

And it was like a Nickelodeon competition show. Oh, okay. Where they set it up as like an Indiana Jones style. Like you need to run from a falling boulder and like put the Tiki idol. Yeah, my childhood entertainment was fucked up. Like I never watched SpongeBob. I never get references as an adult. What did you – I think I watched Johnny Bravo a lot. That's a good one. Hell yeah. That dude was a misogynistic piece of shit. Full on like assaulter too. That too. Wait, what? Really? Bro, yeah. I'm just kidding. I didn't watch it. Literally.

Is that where you got the hair swoop from? Because I...

Because he would just be like, oh. He just picks up a woman and puts her in her car. I was like, what the fuck is going on? Oh, really? Rewatch it with those rose-tinted lenses off. Yeah. What does that mean? You ever heard that saying? No. Rose-tinted, rose-colored. Back me up here. Thank you so much. It's like when you see things like in like. There's no one there, by the way. In like the current light. Yeah, dude. He'd be like, oh, come here, mama. And he'd like.

Grab her inner thigh and like be like you're coming home with me. Let's do the monkey I remember he one time he said it like do you like your eggs like sunny-side up or fertilized or something? I was like, dude, I'm seven Like I definitely don't know what that means. But like what's going on here? Wait, so Johnny Bravo. What else? That's like the only one like Oh Oh rocket power or rocket. Yeah Auto and were you a skater growing up? Yeah big time. Yeah. Well

Well, I mean, like, I was never that good. But I loved... I mean, I was like, fucking... Oh, I can't talk about this. God damn it. God damn it. Do you guys edit this? Yeah. We could. Is it what you'd prefer not to? Kind of. Okay, I'll tell you off air who I fucking hung out with two days ago. I was just going to start naming people, so I'm glad I didn't. Well, yeah. I was like, he doesn't want to talk about it. Like, Tom Biscayton is the person. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So anyway, I'll leave it at that. But...

Yeah, so I used to obviously like play the fucking games and was super into skating. Used to watch like, you know, I had like my favorite pros and brands and everything. I was into skating for a little bit. Wasn't very good either. Yeah, I was never. I always like was too much of a bitch.

Yeah, I'm like, I'm going to hurt my ankle. Yeah. There were some kids our age at that point that would just throw themselves at rails and just fucking were willing to get hurt. And I was always... I could never crack that fear barrier. Yeah. I'm the same way. My brother who you met... That's my brother, by the way. Oh, it is? Yeah. One of my brothers. Not Greg. The other one. Yeah, the one with the glasses. Keith. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But he was like that. And he used to just like for no reason...

Like jump into bushes and shit. We would be walking down the street and Keith would see a bush and he'd go dive in. Perfect. And he would take, and he was the, the other part of this, it's very dangerous is he was very fast. Yeah. So Keith running and then jumping into a bush was like a

fucking sedan coming down the street and hitting it. Like he was going through this thing. But that's what a lot of like our early, early, early videos were just like jackass, jackass style things were like, it would be like me doing something crazy.

Like, getting kicked in the face by Keith. And then Keith diving into bushes. And then Joey, like... Just on the camera, you know? No, like, seriously. That's what it was. And, you know, I could see why you didn't want to, like, get into skating. I mean, I was... Dude, I was scared. I was like, you guys are kind of going to get hurt, I think. Yeah. And Keith broke his neck. Not bush diving, but, like, playing football. Playing football, yeah. You did? No. Keith. Oh, really? He broke his neck? Broke his neck, dude. Oh, my God. We were playing football. Did he have one of those things? No. No.

He didn't have the foil? Like the drill? No.

Like the Frankenstein thing? Yeah, yeah. No, he just had like a neck brace, but it was funny because he was a savage when we were younger, and he would like throw his body at people. So we would play like tackle football. Obviously, it was not pads and shit, just like in the park, and we were playing these kids, and they brought some kid who was like 24, and we were like fucking 16 years old, and he was huge, and he just fucking like just hit the fuck out of this kid, and he ended up like breaking his neck. So he's just walking off, and he's like,

He's like, oh, I think I have like whiplash. So he's like, I'm going to take like a play off. And like, he was like our best defenders. They were like trying to play. It's like, dude, come on. Like, you're fine. Like, it's just a little whatever. And he's like, no, it's like something doesn't feel right. And he went to the doctor and the doctor was like, you're good.

Like don't worry about it Put him in a soft collar And then he was still In a lot of pain And then we went back To the doctor And then a different doctor Was like Your shit is broken dude Jesus Christ And he needed a neck brace And he wore a neck brace For I don't even know How long A while It seemed like years But it was Probably like 4 or 5 months

But this is also like the same kid that like when we were playing tackle football, he would like tackle someone, get a Charlie horse, stand up and run in a circle and scream he broke his leg. He thought he broke his leg and ran like 50 yards. I was like, I feel like it's good though. I feel like it's totally fine. He would have been a good skater. He skated. So me and him, I remember I got the shit slapped out of me once because of skateboarding. By your dad? No. Oh. I don't know. No son of mine is going to skateboard, you know? Yeah.

You're going to play football. But we were skateboarding. You're going to be an artist. Yeah, you're going to paint. All right? You're not going to do anything gay like skateboarding. Use those emotions, dude. But we were skateboarding or something, and I think that there was this kid who was older, and I think he threw Keith's board or something. So I took his board out of his hand, and I threw it in the fucking street, and I just stared at him. And he just slapped the dog shit out of me. The fucking... You remember those...

I think they're Egyptian. Those twins. The Oogree brothers. The what brothers? Characters. Oogree? Oogree. Yeah. I was going to say, bro, you just gave their last name. Their brother. Adam? Yeah. Oh my God. Dog shit slapped me. Dude. Crazy. Really? And I literally was just like,

This kid was like 24 showing up playing basketball with a bunch of 12 year olds, six, five head to toe LeBron gear, headband, wristbands, finger sleeve. No exaggeration. Yeah. And he had two younger brothers who were fucking psychopath twins. And that's so funny because I saw them get the shit smacked out of them by my fucking Greek neighbor.

What? I never told you this story. I don't think so. Really quick story because I know you don't care and realistically tell a good story. No, this is awesome. No, dude. These kids were just like the ultimate... Let's keep talking about like high school. The ultimate troublemakers. They got into a fight in the schoolyard where we went to elementary school and it became like a 40 kid brawl. I look over. I see Joey like Sparta kicking a kid in the chest. Yes. Did I do that? Yes. But...

So I hear like a ruckus outside my house and I go outside and my neighbor was like this old Greek man and he had a kid who was like around our age and he had the kid by the collar and we're like, what's going on? And he's like,

He's yelling. The Greek dad is yelling at the Oogity brother. And he's like, that's their last name. That's why I'm saying it. It sounds like when you get the mask and fresh mask. And he's yelling at him. And I'm like, what's happening? And he's like, he came to my house. He broke the fucking thing that holds the hose on the side of a house. He's like, he broke it off the wall. And then he leave.

And then he punched him in the face. And he open hand from a middle-aged Greek man getting open hand smacked hurts so bad, dude. Also very illegal. Yeah, like insanely, dude. What's up, dude? Insanely illegal. Don't touch the host thing if you don't want to get hit.

New York, baby. The cops show up. It's like, well, you did break the hoax. What is this hoax supposed to do? Just lay on the ground? Yeah. Somebody has to fix this. That's how it was. Like, you got robbed? Maybe you just don't go there again, dude. Fucking figure it out. Yeah. I was talking about that the other day because, like, Halloween, I used to be like, hmm.

Like a little like over your shoulder a little bit when you're on Halloween. But I don't think that kid's doing it anymore. When you were younger, did you like throw eggs at cars and shit? No. Oh. No, never. Yeah. Like for Halloween? Yeah, that's what we did in New York. What was like Halloween in Canada like? Just like trick-or-treating. Just like fun. Trick-or-treating and parties. It was like a utopia. People were outside hugging and dancing. It really was. It was like pretty pleasant. But I lived in a neighborhood where like houses were pretty far apart. Relax.

The yards were miles and miles. I think we would drive to different houses and drive to a neighborhood. We lived out in the country by farms and shit like that. Nice. So like the Alabama of Canada. I wouldn't say that. Exactly. It sounds way more better. Equally as racist.

It sounds a little different, to be honest. Where we grew up, it was all mostly either apartment buildings or townhouses. So you can go down two blocks and hit 100, 120 houses. I just read this tweet that was like, it's so funny being a parent now because when I was a kid, trick-or-treating seemed like this epic thing.

Epic, unbelievable adventure that you go on. And then when you're an adult, you realize it's like 45 minutes and like six houses. Yeah. And then you go home. He was just complaining about that. Because when he's like, he takes his kids trick-or-treating, it's like they go around the block and they're like, I'm good. Yeah. Yeah. But it probably seems to them like they went on this insane adventure. We would go out with like...

King-sized pillowcases. Yeah, and fill them up and then fucking dump them and then fill them up again So it was more epic it definitely 100 okay And now people are worried because there's like, you know predators and stuff out there which where did they come from the predators? Yeah, were they not there? No, they definitely weren't they just showed up. Yeah, they did. That's the thing Yes, no one was preyed upon just just they just showed up. Yeah. Also. I've been seeing a lot of tweets of like a

Well, this is kind of fucked up because they're like parents and stuff. But like kids showing up to a house and it's like, take one, please. And the mom's like fucking – and she dumps the whole thing in her bag. Yeah, I just saw that. And I'm like, that's weird for a parent to do. But if you're a kid, it's like – Kid, that's what we did. You're not going to take one. I remember the first time we did that. There was a house like not by our house, but it was kind of like where we went to school. Right there on like the big boulevard. And this place every year went balls out for Halloween decorations.

And we went, it was like one of the last times we went trick or treating, we went and there was a giant, like fucking Donkey Kong barrel of candy. And it said, take one. And the candy was like, you're, you're going to hate me for this, but it was like seasonal juicy fruit. So it was like Halloween, juicy fruit sticks and stuff. So we dumped the whole thing. And as we ran out a bunch of like, like,

Like toddlers and young kids came. So we gave them... I don't know if you remember that. We gave them a bunch of candy. But nice kids. Yeah, that's nice. By us, it was eggs, shaving cream. Like you would... On Halloween, you'd stay away from parks because they were legitimate war zones. That sounds fun as hell though. It's like... So, I mean, it's also like mad dangerous. But there's a certain age where it's like...

Like Halloween's about trick-or-treating. Even like... You can go on your own. It's still just about that. But then eventually it's like... Everyone gets covered in fucking shaving cream. Just like shaving cream fights or some shit. And then it's like... They're throwing eggs at cars. And then... I remember one year...

like i was with like we met up with like a bunch of other kids from the neighborhood so there was like 30 people and people were throwing eggs like some of the people at the in the group were throwing eggs at cars and i remember uh there was a car that drove by and they threw eggs at us so they turned around so i grabbed one of the eggs and like stepped out on the street and threw it and the guy opened up the van door and it went into the van and i just kept running and then i just heard like you know

And I was like, all my friends are dead. Yeah. Yeah. It was a red band. But it was a paintball gun. But I was like, I think all my friends are dead now. Oh, like he shot something. Yeah. He was shooting paint, like a paintball gun at the crowd of children. Yeah. It was pretty crazy. Like insane, dude. That's what used to happen. It was scary. Dude, literally. What the fuck was Halloween for you guys? Literally. You ever watch the Warriors? That's what it was on Halloween. I'm not even kidding. Like the baseball team? Yes. Everyone was out. Steph Curry, dude? No. It was...

And it's not, it's definitely not like, like, yo, if you went down the street and you saw a crowd of kids, you went the other way because you were going to get hit with something. Yeah. Shaving cream. Dude, I remember, this is a real story. I remember I went home for something. And then when I came out, I came back out because my friends were like, oh, we're by like PS2 or something. And there's a guy and he, and I see my friends just sitting on the sidewalk and he's standing in the street and he has like his hand on his hip. Like he has a gun.

And he was like an off-duty policeman. And I saw my friend sitting there and I'm like, I don't know that he's an off-duty police officer. Like they eventually told me and I was just like, no. And I just fucking walked the other way. I was like, my friends might die tonight, but I'm not going to go over there and get killed with them. They wouldn't sell. Get killed to death? Yeah, I'm just like, killed to death, dude. My friends got killed to death.

They wouldn't sell eggs unless you were over the age of 18. That's so absurd. The whole month of October. That's so fucking absurd. So like, you know, my mom would like send me like with like a five, like go get some stuff from the corner store and I couldn't buy eggs. Yeah, dude. That's awesome. Sad. And you guys just having fun eating candy. Now it's all fucking predators, yeah. Yeah. Where'd they come from, dude? They were not there before. Yeah. I haven't seen a lot of I found a razor in my Twizzler videos, which those are actually. Yeah, now it's fentanyl.

Oh, we do that in candy? Because, well, I mean, think about it. That's so much cooler, dude, than what I know of drug dealers.

And I don't know a ton. They love giving away their stuff for free. Yeah. You know, that's what they want to do. Right. That's true. Yeah. That's, that's a really good point. That's what they're going to do. They're really generous. Very. They've been known. One of the biggest known things about drug dealers is like, they're always generous people. Take it. Givers. Go ahead. They're givers. Yeah. Yeah. Good dancers as well. Good dancers.

What does that mean? I don't know, dude. Anyway, we're just going to wrap it up here. Good dancers. You guys enjoy that? Listen. But Cody, where can they find you and look at all your stuff? Well, I mean, I guess just Google my name, Cody Co. That's so funny. And if I can plug something, I do have a new single that just came out. Yes. On the 8th, and it's called Not Going Home. Okay. And it's actually, do you guys like house music? I do. I think you'd like it.

He just found out. I don't even know when his song is coming out. The 10th, yeah, yeah. He's like, do you like house music? I think it's for you. I think this one might be for you, buddy. Something told me that it's for you, dude. Oh, that's sick, dude. Yeah, so listen to that for me. And I want to thank you guys so much for having me on the show. Yeah. And I would have sat here for another three hours because...

This was basically just watching you guys do. I don't think I really said anything, honestly. Yeah. This was great. Yeah. But yeah, we appreciate you coming on. You guys can go follow the show at The Basement Yard on TikTok, Instagram, or wherever the fuck else. And that is all. See you guys next time.
