#474 - School Supplies Get Me Goin'!
01:02:51 Share

Welcome back to the bas- Welcome back to the basement yard. Don't give me that look. No, no, no. I'm trying to figure out your sweatshirt right now. Is it like- It's not to be figured out. It's-

It is to be figured out. This isn't a puzzle. It's not a puzzle, but it is a trick. Yours is more of a trick than mine. Mine is lines and stripes. They are interlocking. It's like a zip. No, but is yours supposed to be two-toned like that, or is it just shining, shimmering, splendid? No, it's like an ombre. I don't know if that's right. The fuck is that? What am I, hair? Come on. You know what it is. Don't pretend. I'm married to a woman. You think I don't understand what an ombre is?

I'll be honest. I think it's just a blend. I think it's just like hair one color to another color. A gradient. Okay. You don't know what a gradient is? But a gradient is a gradient. Like when it's like... It progressively. It's like exponential. So you have like a parabola of hair color. I don't know why you're choosing to make this harder than it is. I also definitely did... You remember parabolas? I do, but I did fail that...

Really? Geometry? No, my math. So that was in high school. Yeah. And my math averages, I remember were like,

88, 92, 61. Uh-oh, 85. And like the 61 was when parabolas. Parabolas, I like parabolas. Sine, cosine. I was a big parabola guy. Love sine and cosine waves. And tangents. Tangents, you know, but I love parabolas. Love exponents. The way they just kind of go up like a hill. It was pretty cool. I didn't fuck with that. But you know what I fucked with? The TI-83 calculator. Dude, I was. Just to do this. Yo, I broke. I fucking hacked.

Okay. I figured it out. You figured school out. How'd you figure it out? What'd you do? Well, cause I went to baccalaureate for seven to 10th grade and everything that we learned was like a year and a half ahead of what traditional public schools were learning. So like what you're referencing, like all that's like advanced geometry and stuff like that. I had learned in like seventh going into eighth grade. Like we learned it quickly. And I, one second, one second.

If you let me, if you let me. Okay, go ahead, go ahead, go ahead. If you let me. Tell us, Mr. Advanced. Albert Einstein.

First of all, and I was a fucking whiz with that calculator. I also had games on mine. So they'd be like, what are you doing? I'm like, I'm doing such hard work. Yes. And it's a fucking snake and shit like that. That's what it was. It was a snake. I had other games on there, though, too. I knew a kid that had fucking like a version of like Super Mario on there and shit like that. What? There was, yo, you could plug some shit into that. Was he Japanese? He wasn't not Japanese. That's what I'm saying. He could have been Korean. Could have been Chinese. Right. Could have been another part of, you know. They're just, they're just, what's the word? They're innovative games.

Bro, they're so like... Video games? I mean, Nintendo. It's Japanese, baby. That's what I'm saying. But what did Nintendo start off as? Do you know this? What do you mean? Before it was video games. Do you remember what Nintendo was before? Oh, yes. What? It was socks. No. I don't know. Trading cards. A lot of people don't know that.

There you go. Now you're all advanced along with me. Nintendo made trading cards? Yeah, it did. But what was on the cards? Like Japanese stuff. I'm not quite sure. Oh, okay. I'm not quite sure. But so we learned it all. So when I left and went to a New York City public school, when I went to Bryant, I...

Was a head. So like I appeared way smarter to my classmates. Cause you had already learned it. So it's like, oh, now are you doing it? So I hacked, I hacked the system. So then they were just like, whoa, wait a sec. How are you? And I'm just like, I'm good. I had learned it in two years, maybe a year and a half before. So the hack is go to a school that's ahead, leave it. Yeah. And then regress. Well, I didn't regress because I did one year and like the, you know, with like the normies. Well, you regressed academically. No. No.

Because then I went right into... Repeating math. I went right into calculus, bitch. Okay. So I didn't fucking regress. Don't even do that. I also did the same thing in college to boost my GPA. I retook... Bro, college... College, the first year of college, maybe even the first two years of college, is just the last two years of high school all over again. I wouldn't know. You're right. But like... So I remember... Did I ever tell you that I got recruited by my school to be a math major? No.

Explain this. I- Yo, I s- They sat you down? Yes. I swear to God- They got math scouts? I got a letter in the mail because- Were you good at math? Dude, I was a math whiz, dude. Out of high school, I got offered like a free ride to Queens College because they had like an incredible math teaching program. Didn't want to do it because I didn't want to go sit in a car and look at this fence and be like, "Oh my God, my life can be something!"

Okay. Joke's on me. Because you sat in a parking lot and smoked cigars and looked at Target. So, I mean... Yeah, maybe you should have went with the fucking math. Yeah, whatever. Could have worked on a rocket ship or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's okay. It's fine. But I got... Every one of my school at college, you have like a dedicated mailbox. And one time out of the random, I got an email saying like, oh, you have mail in your mailbox. I was like, what the fuck? And it was from my school.

From the head of the math department. He's like, yo, come call me. Let's set up a meeting. I want to talk to you about potential opportunity. This is kind of like how Harry got into Hogwarts. Like a letter just arrives. Well, that was way more magical than mine. Was it stamped with like that ink? Mine was from like some random white guy. His was from Dumbledore, dude. But did it have wax, like a wax stamp? No, it was just a regular... Bro, if it had a wax stamp on it... I'm not opening it. I'm not. I'm keeping it. Bro, one of our friends... I think that's...

Maybe it wasn't Espo. Someone recently sent us something with a wax stamp on it. I was just like, damn, I don't want to touch this. It's probably Espo's wedding invitation. Might have been. But. But. Wax stamp. Wax stamp. Wax stamp. Cool. Dude, and like the melting of the wax and then the stamp. Orgasmic. Mad. Let me tell you. Like watching that in movies where they're just like. I also love watching the guys that dip the wine bottles in wax. I love that shit. And they're like.

Yeah, yeah. And sometimes they get a little deep. They get a little dirty. They get a little dirty. I want to shove my hand in boiling wax. I don't want to shove it in boiling wax. But like wax. I mean, I definitely have like put my hand in wax. Not full hand. Dude, someone once gave me a wax. Oh man, you're going to hate this.

What, dildo? No. No. Bro, I don't know. Why would you go with... Remember I was in day camp. I was Spider-Man. Yes, I remember when you were Spider-Man. Yeah. So they went to one of those places where you can dip your hand in ice and then dip it immediately in a wax to make a wax hand mold.

And they did the Spider-Man thing for me and I had it for a long time and then it must have melted. It was like your little hand? It wasn't mine. It was someone else made it for me. One of our like counselors. Wow, you were a big time Spider-Man on this campus. I told you brother, I'm a Spider-Man. But yeah, so he sat me down and he's just like,

Listen, you're math. You're like, you are clearly like very good at this. You understand it. And I do. Like I always was really good at math. This is like a Goodwill hunting moment. Yeah, but like not as fun, you know, like. And definitely not as smart. Let's just. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Have you seen the movie? Not in a long time, but he was just a smart white kid. I mean, but he was, he was solving it.

Because he was a janitor. That's why people thought he was way smarter because he was a janitor No, he was actually solving problems that like the professor's and like because he was cleaning up the professor's room Joey That's why cuz he's a janitor. Yeah, you haven't seen the movie not in a while But He was like we would really like to make you like you could double major or you can be just a math major and

And I was just like, well, you know, asking the questions. And then, of course, I got down to brass tacks. I was like, all right, well, what are you going to do for me? I was going to ask, like, what do they get out of you doing that? I guess it just, like, if there are no major, like, if there are, like, offices for different, you know, curriculums at schools and no one uses them, they'll just...

go under like no one will use them got it and they'll get less funding and shit like that like so they want people to do it so they can be like oh shit we have people right so i said i was like all right what are you gonna do for me bitch i didn't say the bitch part you definitely didn't i didn't say that i said it in a very nice way i did i was just like all right well like what are you gonna do and he was just like we have no money no one is a math major at this school perfect and i was like all right so now you're not getting anybody you can squeeze like a

six pack out of this or something six pack would have been sick i'll be honest with you i would have took it for a six pack but i was more into 40s at that point in time makes sense why why are we not like why aren't 40s cooler than like why don't people realize how cool a 40 is uh the homeless they know but yeah i don't i don't know when's the last time you drank a 40 probably at your house yeah underage yeah

I can't remember. We should do that, though. Let's get an Edward Forty Hands episode. Edward Forty Hands episode? I know you love tape, and I know you love 40s. I love tape. We should probably. I do love tape, although it needs to be 40s from... Someone should send us beer. What the fuck? Send... Frank, they're $4. $4.

Well, when's the last time you bought a 40? They might be more expensive now. Back then, they were like $1.50. That's why we were buying them. They were $2, actually. First of all, that's like the biggest steal ever. That's why I'm saying, like, people were talking shit about 40s. I loved them back then. Bro, 40 in 2008. We were underage. We could say it. I had no respect for myself. So that's why I was like, I'm just going to duct tape beard on my hands. And drink them and maybe piss your pants. Right. Dude, I...

I know someone that did Edward Forty Hands, got so drunk that they tried to do push-ups with it, and the fucking bottle broke. Whoever you know who did that is a fucking idiot. What did they think was going to happen? Oh, they didn't get cut, though, surprisingly. That's shocking. Yeah, I was really shocked by that, but... Wow. Here we are. How are you? How you doing? I'm good. I'm doing swell. How are you? Good. You look great, honestly. You look great, too. Thank you so much. We're just two good-looking boys that are really benefiting from...

The world. What was that? What did we just do? Was that small talk? I got validation, babe. Was that small talk? I've got validation. What would you grade your small talk? I'm a great small talker. But where are we? I will say this. A to F. I would say I'm an A. Maybe even an A minus. I don't know anyone that's an A. It's lower than an A.

Same with A. Maybe an A-minus. I mean, you can make an argument. Okay. But like, I could even see being an A-plus. But right now, my social battery's a little spent right now. You're pretty good. I'm not going to lie. Thanks. You hate small talk. I'm not great at it. You are good at it. You just don't like it. I'm good at it like in certain... If I'm by myself, then I think I'm really good. Yeah, because most of the small talk you have, they're just lies about yourself. No, that also depends where I am.

Like a scientist I don't do that all the time But it is fun to see how your acting chops are

Just like, just test it out. Like if you're at a bar and a person that you don't really care to talk to anyway is like, oh, hey. And you're like, oh, I'm Kevin. Like you just, you know, like who cares? The last time, I think I should say last time, the only time I've done that was in like Vegas. And it was the one, the first year me, you, Espo, like all of us went. Not like the big crew. It was the smaller crew. And I was...

Like a 22-year-old FBI secret agent named like, you know, something like Quincy, you know, Stevenson or something. You went to, you were 22 and you told people that you worked for the FBI? This kid wants to be Batman so bad. That's unbelievable stuff. You know what's funny? You can't lie about your first name anymore. You know what's, I know now. Now I'm screwed. Now people know me. I know. But you know what's screwed up?

You say he wants to be Batman as if you wouldn't want to be fucking Batman either. I'd prefer guns. I would just shoot. So just be Batman, but with a gun. A.K.A. the Red Hood, Jason Todd. You know Jason Todd. He was the second Robin behind Dick Grayson and right before Tim Drake. No, not ringing a bell. You don't remember that? Death in the Family comic?

I stopped listening at Red Robin. Was that fast food back there? Red Hood. Red Hood. Red Hood. But I feel a sense of confidence. I have received the validation that I've been looking for, quite frankly, my whole life. And no, not from my dad. From a more important person. Who's that? The internet. Oh, got it. You think the internet is a boy or a girl? It's a boy, dude. Because it's annoying as hell.

It's annoying. It's obnoxious. People want to get the fuck. People are just like, shut up, you idiot. Oh, I see what you're doing. It swears it knows everything. I see what you're doing. You saved it by saying it. No, that was my answer the whole fucking time. It's like, save boy, but then talk negatively about it. Yeah, because it sucks, dude. Okay. If the internet was a girl, it'd be way nicer, dude. Way nicer. Are you kidding me? I was going to say. Yeah. Come on. I think women are generally more nice.

Significantly. Guys don't know how to be nice. Because society told us that being nice is weak, you fucking pussy. Yeah, but also it's like, I don't know why, but like, I don't know. I think like, and also innately, like women just have more compassion. Yeah, and you could also blame it because if they feel like they don't be nice, that they're going to get murdered.

Back in the day, yeah. Back in the now, right here, right now. What if they're not now? Oh, yeah, no, there are times, yeah, for sure. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, just like, what did you say? I don't mean to, like, you know, I'm not... Go, do it, do it. No, no, I just want to say, I'm not trying to, like... You are. Because I'm not trying to go overboard with, like, men suck type of things, whatever. But here's what I will say. Bro, can you imagine...

Can you imagine being a woman and going on a first date? No, dude. I'm carrying on that. Are you kidding? Hell no. First of all, if I got anxiety. Bro, I can't. There's no way. I got to be honest with you. Like, ladies...

How have you ever in your life even considered doing a blind date with someone? Part of me thinks... Ever, dude. Ever. Yo, part of me is like, what's wrong with you? To be like, yeah, I'm just gonna go... Like, that's so wild because... I mean, maybe it's because I watch too much murder shit. Murder stuff. There's murder stuff out there. So, like, I just can't... You know...

And I've been in like, you know, you drive by places in like Ubers in Manhattan and like a girl and her friend are walking by someplace and then dudes are just appearing like shadows and just being like, oh, hey. And you're like, what?

What is happening? I'd be mad scared. Oh my God. You ever walk through dudes at a construction site? Are you kidding me? I feel mad weird, bro. I worked on a construction site, baby. So you've whistled. No, I'm not a cat caller. Obviously. Actually, no. Have you called cats? Like when we were teenagers. What would you cat call? What's okay to cat call? That's not even what I was asking.

No one was asking you to impersonate each other. I know, I know. I'm saying, like, when we were teenagers, I don't know if you remember this, but, like, when we were teenagers, we would be, like, at, like, let's use Roosevelt Field Mall as an example. And if we would see a good-looking girl, one of our friends would just go like, hey, yo! And then, like, fucking, like, duck and be terrified. Would we? Yeah! Yeah!

I don't remember that. It wasn't like, I'm sure I've done that at points in time, but like never, never like the fucking, you know, like the cartoon example of like the guy at the hard house. Like, listen up, sweetie. I can jackhammer something for you. Yeah. Yeah. What do you think is going to come out of that? Also, you think this woman is going to be like, I am so impressed with your confidence. You fat fucking slob.

that I am going to stop everything I'm doing to give you my undivided attention. Also, I'm just, is no one afraid of women? I'm scared. They're going to kill you. No, I'm scared to be like, hi. I can't imagine being like, you're so beautiful. And I wouldn't, I would never. Well, when, when there's the fucking peanut galleries watching this guy and he's, you know, he's like, listen, I'm going to pour concrete and then I'm going to see a girl. And you guys watch what I say. Okay. Yeah. I don't know. It's scary. It's scary.

Bro, going on a first date is... Too much murder. Too much murder. I couldn't. I couldn't. I mean, especially now. We know a lot more about murder now. I would need eyes. I would need... I would definitely need, like, backup. Just like people in, like, the bushes with, like, binoculars and stuff like that? Remember when we used to spy on our friends going on dates? I would need that. Yes.

I'm gonna go meet up with this girl at the park. I'm like, okay cool And then they leave and then we would take the law away We would follow them and stare and then we would do a hurrah if you remember this we would like see them like You know like say, you know One of our friends was like walking the girl home or something like that They would stop at the corner and it looks like they were either gonna like go in for a kiss or something and then we would just walk out into the street and just

Like fucking idiots. And just completely, I love this story so much. And we've spoken about it before. I don't remember how true it is, but it's one of the funniest stories I've ever heard where we had a kid in our friend group that walked a girl home and like so badly wanted to like, he had a big crush on her and wanted her to have a crush on him. And like, allegedly, I really hope it's true. He like went into kiss mode

And she like moved out of the way and he like stumbled forward and like 50 pencils fell out of his back. 50 pencils. That's kind of wild. That's just being a kid. Also, when you said 50 pencils, that did something to me. I'm not going to lie. Oh, like the good pencils, like the nice rubbery erasers. This is going to sound weird. And I don't mean to transition. We're making very hard transitions right now, but I'm going to do it again. There is something about an abundance of...

Pencils and batteries that gets me going like horny going. Yes and no like not no I gotta be honest with you I have a lot of questions because there are a ton of batteries out there I know and if you're just doing this fucking show half-ass all the time think about think about this thing about this Okay, your remote doesn't have batteries. You're like, oh we got to order more batteries These are the last ones we have then you order a hundred and

Right? And then you open the box and you're like, I have a hundred batteries. Like this is going to last. I can fucking power everything. Do you have the battery daddy or whatever it's called? Or like the caddy daddy or whatever? What the fuck are you talking about? Is that a dildo? Oh yes. Well, it's a dildo for dads, which I guess is just, just a regular dildo. Yeah. It's just a, but it's a giant, it looks like a briefcase.

And it is just meant for batteries. That's fire. Dude, you're going to be fucking soaked the minute you see this thing. Yeah, dude. And it's like, it has the cutouts just for double A's, just for triple A's. You could throw C's in there. Is it like padding like a gun case? It's see-through. Dude, you've never seen this thing? Oh, I have seen that. My fucking mother-in-law got me one last year. And then she didn't realize it didn't come loaded with batteries. So she spent an absurd amount of batteries.

Yes, I have seen that. Dude, and it comes with like a little battery tester. And then also, bro, tell me you don't like, can someone appreciate like when someone would open their pencil case and it would just be mad neat. It would be like 15 pencils all perfectly sharpened. I'm going to do you one better. I'm going to do you one better. Oh my God. I'm going to do you one better. When someone would have the 64 pack of Crayola crayons and they would open it up and it was freshly sharpened. And it's just bleachers. And it's just, oh, it's just bleachers. Bleachers.

Of fucking awesome crayons Oh my god I love that shit And they have all the best colors too Yeah And you're just looking at it And you're just like Oh I would eat the fuck Out of these crayons That's why like Yo there's something crazy about Like Cause everyone like Back to school shopping It's sexual for you But that Yeah I think cause like The first day of school When you have kids My binder is neat I open up the And the dividers And the dividers are all in And they're clean Fucking post-its The little singular post-its That you put in

Put in books. For books, yeah. Joey is going to be the whole. Highlighters. Hot. Bro, forget it. Don't even get me fucking started on whiteout. Don't, do not fucking start talking about it. Which one? The tape? The pen with the squishy that you can do? Or the, or the fucking painter? Let me tell you this right now. The painter with the sponge. The pen can go fuck its mother. I hate that stupid pen.

Okay, I hate that fucking pen. The tape though. I love the tape. And of course the little, the swishy swash, the painting.

Now let me ask you, which of the painting was better? The one that had the actual brush on the end or the one that had the sponge, like the cheese? The fucking triangular sponge. The cheese, baby! Yes! That's my shit. Yo, I am so fucking with you. I hated the fuck out of the tape because I was just like, who do you think you are? It would like kick up. And it would kick up at the end and then you had to like push it down with your finger and then you'd get like ink on it. Yeah. I didn't like that shit. The fucking brush. Dude, I'll tell you right now.

I'd paint a house with that. I would paint it. Do you remember when we used to paint our footballs with it? Yeah. I would, and don't even get me started on the smell. Yeah. Whatever chemicals were in whiteout. Bro, back in 2004 when I had that whiteout, a part of me wanted to paint my nails. I knew everyone would call me a gag or something. I did that for baseball. First of all, I painted my, my, uh, cause you were a catcher. What, when's the last time you used whiteout? Bro, Miss Pogrebin's class? Third grade? Yeah.

I don't know. I would love an excuse to have. I mean, you do, babe. Just start writing stuff more. Why don't you just write stuff more? You have a fucking desk full of pens that you never use and always disappear. Just start writing stuff down more. I gotta start writing stuff out. I will say this. You are not wrong. There is, when you walk through the three aisles of stationary and Target, it's euphoric. Borderline orgasm.

Yeah, it is. And you see all those pens and they're just in their box. And then it's like, we'll give you a bonus one.

Oh my god! Bro, and also they have the really expensive pens that have like a diaper on them and you're like, bro, I love the diaper. Oh, like the point of it comes with like glue on it? No, no, no, no, no. I'm talking about like where you would put your finger. Like it's got a little diaper. Oh, the finger squishies. It's got a fat... The finger... Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, dude. It's like, yo, my finger's mad comfortable. Yo, and a pen that just rolls. Oh, yeah.

Oh, you're a roller? It just rolls. See, I like the precise V7, like the gel. I like that. I like that ink. Yeah. But you want just a fucking whore of a ballpoint, don't you? Bro, and Tiffany Nguyen? She had all the coolest shit. She had mad cool shit. Yo, this girl, if she's not famous yet, why? We love Tiffany Nguyen. We love her, dude. But I remember Tiffany, she and she- Back to the Japanese!

Right into fucking, you know, absolutely. There's two things that I do want to talk about. One thing, also, just so everyone knows, this girl Tiffany that we're talking about, we were barely friends. And haven't spoken to her in 20 years. No.

Maybe more. Yeah, maybe more. She doesn't even know she's doing well. I do hope she's doing well. Insanely smart. She's probably crushing it, so God bless. Well, she was smart in elementary school. Let's be honest. She could have went straight downhill. She might be an idiot now. We don't know. But we hope she's still smart, and we hope she's doing well. Yeah. But...

She introduced me to, because you had all different types of pens and blah, blah, blah. And I was already on the ones with a little diaper. And you could even put the ones that had the extra diaper on top of it for the pen. So it's like- You had the loaded diaper of a pen in your hand. Crazy. But then she introduced me to those like artistic pens that are like black.

And it's almost like a marker, but it's thin. And it's mad neat. And it's like used for like calligraphy. Yes. Yes. And I was like, yo, what? Because those are mad expensive. She had the best pencil case and the best snacks. I remember she was always coming in with... Bro, she had the dopest... What are those Asian... The jellies. Yes. Yo, to this day, I do not know. Buy a box of them. Buy the whole company. Dude...

What are those Asian jellies? They were like her and fucking Pooja had them. Pooja. Pooja had them. Pooja had them and I asked all the time. I almost died on one of those bitches. She gave me an apple one and I almost choked on it too. Bitches trying to kill us. Fuck you, Pooja. Asian jellies. They were like, it was a little cup and it was just a clear jelly and there was just like a piece of fruit in it. Whoa, what the fuck was that? I was like, it was like a pear or an apple or, you know, like something, something.

Did you just type in Asian jellies? Asian jelly cups. Asian jelly cups. What are they, dude? There was an Asian girl who lived on my block growing up, and she had them too. Why? You know, share with us. We're sorry. We're sorry. The Asians had good snacks, man. They had good snacks. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Did you? This is like a US version. This shit is ass. I don't want that shit. I want that shit to be full fucking coke. That's not it. That's not it. Ooh.

No, those are puddings. Disgusting. Asian jelly snacks. If I find these... Oh, no. Yeah, it's like lychee. Lychee. Are they? Are they lychee? Lychee is its own thing. I think it's this. It's lychee. I think it's these. I think it's these. I saw those. Where are they? Lychee coconut jelly? Funny hippo? No. That looks like condoms. What am I looking at? What the hell?

God. Guys, if you Google fucking Asian... Guys, help us find this. Stop gatekeeping Asian snacks. Yeah. Anyone who's Asian is watching this. If you're gatekeeping the jelly cups, give us some cups. Yeah, dude. She had all the cool shit. And then she... I remember when she pulled out a container of...

She had two different types of pencil lead. She was like, well, this is the finer, the 0.5 millimeter. This is the 0.7. And I was like, Tiffany! Yeah, I was like, yo, you have a 9 millimeter pencil? What is that? She had it all, dude. Yo, I used to love that, too, because they came with the cartridges. It was like, yo, you got to load up your pencil. Yeah, dude, and then you would put it in, and then you would press the top. Fake do heroin. Fake do heroin. Where else can you fake do heroin with an Asian person's reusable lead pencil?

Great time, dude. It's a great time. Oh, God. That was so good. I used to always be like in jail.

Miles did it recently and I was just like not heroin the like playing around man I figured he was talking about the lead he did it with the pencil cuz I got him From like one of the airports. I got him. It looks like a real pencil, but it's just a real and he did that He's like look at this. I was like good good very good But then someone told me I was gonna get lead poisoning and like yeah, I freaked out after Greg got stabbed by a pencil He still has pencil in his leg or arm or some shit like that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, ask him Greg. He's coming. Oh

Well, that's we just figured that out like fourth grade You got stabbed that long ago? Yeah, I stabbed myself. Oh, what an idiot. Wait for on purpose. He's probably so horny about it too. He's like, ah

I was saying how you got stabbed by a pencil and you have yeah. Yeah, you so you stabbed yourself with pencil Yeah, give the people what they want. They really and that's a horrible shot and maybe they can see it now I'll be honest the whole shot is horrible because I'm completely hey. Yeah, Greg. You know what you could have taken any other route This has been a very trip. This is this has been a mistake. It's what yeah, honestly. Thank you so much, Greg We appreciate everyone give a round of applause for Greg. Yeah. Thank you so much Greg by the way also

Are you like a fucking like a dancing limerick? Why are you wearing those shoes? Yeah, look at these. Yeah, dude. Those are the Paul Revere's. Those are really good. Those are very good. Get out of here, you loser. Yo, Greg, let me ask you something real quick. Just give me a thumbs up or thumbs down. He's pissed. He's pissed. You see him pissed? I mean, he's trying to go five times. What was the question? You went to school with Asian kids? Okay. Did they not have the sickest pencils?

Do you know Asian jelly cups? What were those? You would know. You definitely know Asian jelly cups. This kid loves sushi. We're going to introduce him. Yeah, you're going to introduce him. No. I know like the milky pens. They always had those. Yeah. You would suck on them. Okay. I remember that. Get out now. Wait. There. You'd suck on the back of pens and they would explode ink in your mouth. We've discussed this several times. We've discussed this several times. Yeah, I don't remember that. Yeah. I do like Pockys though. Is that Asian? Yeah. Yeah.

Big. Pockies are good. Pockies are good. They're just dipped in chocolate. They're like a solid snack. Love them. What other Asian stuff do we like? Everything. Yeah. Make that very clear. Right. I mean... What if...

Silence. Yeah, what if she's like, you know, what if Tiffany is like mad at us and she's like... For what? Like fucking telling her she has awesome snacks? Yeah, she did everything. But if she fucking is gatekeeping the jelly cups, I'm mad at her. Honestly, I'm kind of with you there. Do you think we're going to get hit up? I hope. Guys, don't go looking for this girl. Don't be fucking weird. Please don't. Oh my God. Don't go looking for Tiffany. Let her live. Yeah, let her live her life. She's probably married and she probably thinks we're two fucking idiots. Google her right now. Frank, I typed her name.

Where is she at? Where is she at? These aren't her. Where is she at? Facebook. If I'm going to be honest, I don't know how I would even go about trying to find a person that I have. Oh, Facebook. Facebook, baby. Do I know my Facebook password? I have no idea.

I'm not logged in. Oh, I am logged in. No, I'm not. It's a requiring a password. Is it your burner account? My burner account. So I almost got him there, folks. Anyway. I love how people think that's like a crime to have a second account that you don't want people to talk to you on. Who thinks that's a crime? People are just like, oh, so-and-so has a burner account. Who cares? Remember when KD got in trouble for it? He was also pretending to reply. Yeah, I know. That was funny. That was a little funny. Some people are more sensy than others.

So back to what I was saying. Got that, got that, what were you gonna say? I was gonna bring up oak tag. What's oak tag? Paper. Paper oak tag?

Oh, yes. Paper. When it'd be like, we have a- But you do projects. Well, no, Oaktag was the flimsy one. You're talking poster board. No, I was talking about Oaktag. That opened like this. And I was going to get to Big Daddy poster board. Poster board? Why are we not using this thing more? Oh! And then you'd print out fucking just like, introduction, hypothesis, study, conclusion, in the sickest word art on fucking Microsoft Word. God damn.

You know which word I'm talking about, right? The one where it was like, it was a gradient. A gradient. We're back. Where gray to like red or some shit. Or like, it was like light blue into white. Oh my God. Or the orange and red one that was like squiggly. Yes.

Bro, I hope that you guys had the same childhood as us. Otherwise, we're just talking. And if you didn't, fuck you. And also, it sounds great because it was. Yeah. Okay? If you didn't grow up on the fucking Asian jelly cups, you suck. Dude, the birth of Pokemon cards to Yu-Gi-Oh cards to Asian jelly cups, the Asians. Were we raised in an Asian? Like, we're just surrounded by Asians. Yeah, but like, they had a comeback. They had a comeback in the late 90s, early 2000s. That's true.

The comeback is crazy. Yeah. I mean, everyone's got bumps in the road. It was a bump. It was a bump. We've had... We've certainly had bumps. We've had a couple. It's a little bumpy right now for us. You get to say that again. It's a little bumpy for us right now. Yeah. You know? You never know what the road ahead is going to look like. I will say, what I was trying to say originally was... And there it goes. Gone. No, no, no, no, no. Apparently, the fucking...

Jesus Christ. Greg running. I've had these and there was literally an Asian kid that I went to school with and I just got the memory that it was the first time I ever had them. The Asian jelly cups? I thought you meant your stupid ass shoes. No, yeah. The Asian jelly cups, dude. Yeah. I thought you were referencing the George Washington sixes that you're currently wearing. Yo, can you do me a favor? Just do me a favor real quick. Very easy. Look up the company and see if they're interested in a buyer. See,

See if they want us We're gonna buy the company We're gonna be like Revive it Remember that part of Talladega Nights Where he's just doing like Asian He's doing like a commercial For like an Asian gum That's what we're gonna do The next view of ads Is gonna be us just doing Make them a sponsor Make them a sponsor Can you imagine We're sitting here Trying to talk Japanese Okay we don't have to do that We could just say Or you do really good impressions Don't say that

No, dude, I'm all over it. I'm not kidding. Remember when you bought koongies? Korean? Korean. I still have them at the house. You want to play next week? Sure. I'll bring them in, baby. What would you do if I whipped them out right now? You'd lose your shit. Be honest. I wouldn't lose my shit. Your shit would be lost. Maybe. Yeah, no. Good times, though. No. Oh, if I had koongies right now. But yeah, making a poster board. But I did like an oak tag, too. I got to say, this is...

Hole punchers. Whoa! We talked about this recently. I know, that's another one. The one where it's like you move it and it's the three and then you fucking press down like you're... Hold on. Hold on. Maybe the horniest school supplies. I'm so horny for school supplies. The hole punchers that go in your binder? Wrong. Oh, those are... But those are good too. Those are so sick. Those are good too. Bro, do you remember you would just stack up like a bunch of construction paper and then you put it on like that thing and it's like... It's nice! The old school paper cutter? And you would cut it?

The fucking... Why were they... Why did they allow a full-on machete in our elementary school? Dude, I can... Dude, every room, if you guys don't know, I'm gonna talk. It was a big square wooden board. Yeah. That had lines in it. And it had, like, on one side, it had, like, a...

like a ruler on both sides and it was raised and the idea is that you put paper into it and then there's a legit machete. It's a katana attached to this thing. And it was on an arm and you would just se-cise. Yeah. And it would cut so fucking hard. And it would make the se-cise. It was so good. You could literally doze.

David Copperfield cut a child in half with this thing, dude. That's where you went? Yeah. Why? Because it's a dangerous thing to have in a fucking first grade fucking thing. Like a child, if I laid him down, I was like, oh, it's a magic trick. I could cut him in half. Bro, they were just like, careful of your fingers. There was a full meat cleaver on this thing. Like, what do you want? I have to cut my fingers off now. There's a Shogun...

sword in the fucking classroom here. Back to Asian, by the way. Asians are ruling the world. Our world. We actually live in an Asian world. Listen, Queens, New York was flushing. Asian. Oh yeah, big Asian. Also, it smells great over there. It is the best smell. Let me ask you a question. It does smell bad on some blocks. No. There's a lot of garbage.

But that's not the Asians fault. Once you get a sniff of the nuts, I know that sounds weird. God damn the nuts. The nuts smell mad good. Those Asian nuts are fucking incredible. Yo, Asian street nuts.

Smelling It's one of the best smells In the world Asian street nuts Asian street nuts Unbelievable shit It is really really good Go to Go to fucking Flushing Go to Main Street Go to Main Street In Flushing Queens And tell me Get a whiff of those Fucking Asian street nuts And tell me your life Isn't different First of all

Those nuts are calling honestly right now. I remember the feeling so vividly of going to your school and taking the bus there and getting off and being like, this is the greatest place on the planet. The nuts would hit you in the face. Right in the fucking face, dude. You get punched in the mouth and the nose by nuts. And you're just like, this is the greatest place on the planet. It was so good. And then tea. Tea.

They always had like boba tea places and like regular tea houses. You know what I fuck with boba tea? Like the coolest thing about boba tea? The big ass straw. I gotta stab this thing. It's a big ass straw too. You gotta be like,

And then you got it, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It comes like sealed on top and you just have to like fucking full on murder a cup. I'm gonna be honest with you. I've never even drank boba tea. I've had it maybe once. I could be wrong. What is that shit in there? It's tapioca. It sounds miserable and I'm sure it's not. Tapioca. But like I can't be trusted with little balls and a giant straw and I'll choke. Why? I will choke if I had boba tea. Hindsight.

Maybe I could have worded that in a better way. That didn't sound... No, but I... Where do you go? I think, you know, boba. But I've never had one. Partially because I'm scared to. The fucking straw is too wide. I tell you all the time. I think if you keep going down this path you've been going down recently with green tea, you're going to be a tea boy. Like, you might completely get rid of coffee. You know what a tea boy is? No, what's a tea boy?

Yeah. I don't know. Like a T-boy. Oh, maybe. Maybe you will be that too. Maybe you will. I don't think it works like that. I'm not going to like – Did you see there was some right-wing politician who was like, as a social experiment, I decided to expose wokeness and pretended to be trans for three weeks.

That's a long time. And then he's like, I found out they were so accepting and like all so willing to call me by my pronouns. What? Got him. It's like you exposed nothing. Exposed the kindness in people. Like fucking got him. You got wokeness, baby. I knew people would be accepting. Yeah. Now I had no worries about where I went or what I did. Oh, sounds pretty...

Dude. This is a new record. This is unbelievable. This is an absolute new record. We had several things to talk about. We didn't get to the first one. Didn't get to any of them. But we do have more. And is it the jellies? It isn't the jellies. But you can look forward to that in the future. I don't know. But we do have, this is a big one for Frank here, Skims. Oh!

Yes, dude. Skims is now a sponsor of the Basement Yard. But Skims, they make men's underwear now, okay? It's not just Kim Kardashian. It's also for the boys, okay? I will tell you this very, very clearly. Tell them what happened to you. The guys have gotten annoyed at how much I talk about the Skims underwear that they kindly sent to me. They are soft, comfortable. Dude, yo, like this is not... Shapely. Guys, if they weren't a sponsor, I still would be saying this.

Unbelievably comfortable. They are very comfy. And there is, like, I have to buy 500 pairs now. Yeah. Because they are too good for me. Right, yeah. When you put them on your body and you're just like, I'm just, like, in place. And I'm breathing. Everything's breathing. I'll be very honest with you. I also felt more comfortable and confident in them. Yeah. That's just a me thing? That's a good way of cleaning up what you actually said to me, that he feels confident in them.

Because he said something that we're not gonna say we're not we're not gonna make any assertions about this company that they can't back up But personally I felt good Yeah, it was lovely so they are great you could shop skims skims men's at skims calm Okay, let them know we sent you After you place your order select podcast in the survey and select our show in the drop-down menu Okay, so if you're a guy out there

So, go to skims and then, you know, do podcasts and do the survey and let them know that the basement yard sent you, all right? Me and Frankie would never steal you wrong. And lastly here, we have BetterHelp. BetterHelp is...

Online therapy. Okay. This podcast is sponsored by BetterHelp. It has been for a while now. And BetterHelp, you know, has helped a lot of people. A lot of people have pulled me aside at shows and they appreciate the fact that, you know, we're outspoken about therapy and we think people should be in it. I have been in it for years.

But yeah, and also therapy is also very expensive, but with BetterHelp, it's a fraction of the cost. So it makes it a little more attainable to do therapy because that's usually a deterrent.

The reason I was laughing so hard is because Greg looked up the company that sells the fruit jellies and legit sent them an email, copied me and you on it, and says, we're interested in buying your company. You never know, folks. You never know. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. How much? How much could they be making? I mean, dude, they could be making billions. We don't know. I think it's a U.S.-based company.

I don't think so. The one that he emailed. He just looked it up. Yeah. I don't even know if that's the actual one. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like, we might be... We can make it our own. We could be like... Frank and Joe's Jelly Cups. Frank and Joe's Jelly Cups. Double jug chocolate cookie. We're gonna give Frank and Joe's Jelly Cups... That was a horrible shot. That was the worst one I've ever taken, I think. We're gonna give Frank and Joe's Jelly Cups a...

I want him to do one video where he gives it like 14 booms and see how many people actually stick around for all 14 of the booms or just do so many booms that eventually his face gets so ready to pass yeah he's just like I give this cookie 861 BOOMS BOOM BOOM to see if he'll actually commit to it this is a new record which which what we haven't talked about anything and at this point

want to I don't want to either should we shut the lap shut it up fuck you bitch I meant to give it the finger and then I shot it with a gun it just shows you where your head is at shooting guns what are you coming around on guns I mean I've been very vocal that like

I would like to move to the suburbs and I'm gunning up. You need at least one gun. I feel like I'm more afraid to live in nice neighborhoods. Is that weird? Yeah, because that's where the white freaks like you guys are. Well, I feel like that's just like... Yeah, it's like...

That's not what I meant to say. I like how you were just like, yeah. Yeah, no. I meant like, I feel like that's, maybe it's just because of the movies, but like that's where people get like home invasion stuff. Yeah. I mean, home invasions are so, like they are, they are, they, they, this, they are nothing. Really? Yeah. Most, most like invasions or like crimes like that happen from people within the family. So-

Make sure you keep a good relationship with everyone. Cousins and brothers and sisters. I'm scared because I feel like if I did have a gun and in the middle of the night I hear someone rummaging, then I'm like, okay, I have to shoot somebody. Now I have to use my gun. But now it gets me thinking though, what if someone's setting up like, you know...

Like a surprise party for me or something. And I just like kill like my aunt because she's just trying to hang a thing. Can I ask you a question? Why would your aunt be in your home in the evening, late at night, setting up a single banner for a surprise party for you? I'm just saying in the off chance that she's setting up a fucking happy birthday banner, she's going to get gunned down, bro. I mean, I got to say, I'm probably a little closer to having a gun than you are. And I've kind of grown comfortable with my whole like kitchen towel around the handle of a knife.

So like, I feel like I'm losing that. You know what I mean? Like, I feel more confident with a knife than I would a gun. Okay. What are you, a pirate? But what if they have a gun? Run at them. Die quicker? Is that what you're saying? No, they say if the person has a gun, run toward them. If they have a knife, run away from them. It's not a deer. You don't speed up. You fucking duck. They're going to shoot. Yeah, I don't know. If you run at someone with a gun...

And it's a real gun. You have to figure they're going to get so scared they shoot. Even if they don't want to. Yeah, I don't know. Honestly, and I hope I never find out. I hope so also. I hope you never find out. Yeah, yeah. Let's just move off this conversation. Guns, guns. Bang, bang, bang. Would you get a shotgun? No.

Loading it's cool. Loading a shotgun like... I hope, I hope, I hope, and I need your help here, seriously. You know me. I know you. I go through, I've gone through changes in my life. Different personalities, different... Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes. Turn and face the strain. Change. Don't wanna be a rich man. It changed me. I can't change time.

That's a really good song. RIP to our boy. What's the sound you just made? Like a pug. What? You went... Did you like snort just now? I didn't mean to. Cool. Sorry. You know me. I've gone through different iterations. R.A. Frank. R.D. Frank. Fun Frank. Frat Frank. Frat Frank. Fresh as I'm is Frank. Yeah. You know? If I ever, ever, even as a joke, think it'll be funny to like clean my gun around any of my daughter's boyfriends...

Take that gun and kill me. Frankie. And I, Frank. Just do it. Dude, I love you. I will accept. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Well, this is a pact here. This is a pact. No, no, no. I just want to tell you something. I love you. Yes. And you're right. I do know you. Yeah. And I have to say, I have to say. Just, just, just, just, just. Sounds like something you'd do. I don't think I will. And I'll tell you why.

I don't... Yeah, but being a dad makes you do dumb shit, probably. I know, I know. And I'm scared. I am scared. I'll be honest. I'm scared. Dude, I didn't even tell you. We recently went to a family party and there was like a little boy there. And our niece ran up to us and goes... To Becca and I. And she goes, Ruby said she thinks that boy is cute and might want to kiss him. And I said, where the fuck is this kid? And I went upstairs and I opened... Like...

This wasn't like a show. I just- Wait, who said that to you? My niece. Oh, okay. She's like, he's- she said that he's cute and she wants to maybe- Damn, snitch! Good, honestly. Yeah. And I- I didn't, like, I didn't feel anything. I just- my body stood up, moved me into the room, and I opened the door and I said, Absolutely not! No kid- the kid wasn't even in there. But, like, I just wanted to make sure I set the groundwork. I scared the whole kid- all the kids in the room. No kissing. No kissing, bitch.

Okay. I just want to... I agree. Yeah. But why? I don't know. It just came out. It just came out of me. You think you're going to be like a... You can't date.

No, I don't think I will be that person. I think... I mean, you are right now. No. For my three-year-old daughter, Joey, wanting to kiss another boy? I just said I agreed. What age does that stop, though? I think, honestly, around puberty age. I think that there is a level of... What is that, 12? 12, 13. You know, it might be a little younger for girls, but, you know, like, I hope that I am the parent, and Becca and I have had multiple conversations about this, that keep an open line of communication with our kids and instill responsibility in them and not...

Fear and rejection You know Like being like No you're not gonna do it Because I'll fucking I really don't think I'll be that person You just kicked the door down For a three year old Joey Hey man Kids are listening But then my father My father-in-law was down there And he was just like You're gonna have to deal With a lot of that Yeah And I was just like Fuck I wonder how That's gonna be

I think you'll take the same route because I see like you have a really good I would love to do a bad boys 2 thing with you and just scare a prom date but not like scared like just kind of just like that was a full scare he answered the door with a gun Joey didn't he yeah but like I wouldn't take it out I would just have it no see now you're becoming what do you think

I would be cum. Yeah, but I'm doing it for fun. I'm not doing it because like... You think I would be really wanting to shoot this person at my dinner table? No one wants to shoot anyone. I just want to know that, you know, with the... If there is violence, there's fucking violence. Yeah, listen. If I'm pulling... If one of my children's significant others sees a gun that I have, it's because they're on the fucking receiving end of it. Let's make that very clear. Okay? That is not going to happen. Yeah. But...

You know, if I ever become that guy that's just like sit down and I take a gun out and I just like start cleaning it in front of him, I hope that you would kill me. Oh, I would let you know. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just please do that for me. And I don't think I'll do that, but just in case. You never know what could happen in 15 years. If I was there, dude, I would just try to neutralize the whole thing. Like I would act like we're just like... I'm hoping that like...

Our career continues on this really great path, this trajectory, and it scares people. It's like, oh my God, Ruby's dad is like, he knows people. Frank, hold on, hold on.

If our, just to be clear, I don't know if you know the way that people perceive us, but they're certain we're gay for each other. So I don't know if our, if our career keeps going the way it is. I don't think that's intimidating anyone. They're just going to be like, those are those two guys. They're friends. And like, they're probably gay or something. That's probably,

Like that's how it's being, you know, viewed. Oh my God, it's Ruby's dad. He's terrified. I'd be like, oh my God, it's Ruby's dad. He often talks about his fucking balls. That's Ruby's dad. He loves hugging his friend, Joe. I don't know. I don't know. You never know. Oh man, that's funny. It's going to be fun. It's going to be fun. I do hope that you become that, like, like you're around, like I can't say anything crazy. So it's like, Joey's going to step in and be like, listen, he can't say anything crazy. Oh yeah, yeah, of course. Good cop, bad cop.

We do good cop, bad cop. Yeah, of course. I like the cops. Yeah. Yeah. I like the cops. Yeah, like... I've thought about that. Or like overly nice. I've thought about that. And I'm going to be really, really honest with you. I've thought about like... Not that this situation has ever come up, but like... You ever see the movie The Town? I saw it twice on Christmas. Yeah, okay. No.

On the same day? It was the same Christmas. Okay. Frank, it didn't even go to commercial. It started. I watched it again. Okay. That's bad. Weird. But it's a good movie. It is. But, like, I wonder...

You know that scene where he's just like, listen up, brother. We're going to go hurt somebody. I need you to not ask any questions. And he's just like, all right, who's guy would take? Yeah. I wondered if I were to approach you like that, what your response would be. Because I don't think you'd be like, all right, let's go. I'm mad inquisitive. You're very inquisitive.

I would have mad questions. Like, you can't ask me about it. Like, I'm immediately going to ask. You'd be like, what is going on? Who is it? Tell me everything. Like, you would be very inquisitive. I think you'd be down to ride. Yeah, but I would be like, yo, let's just think about a plan here. Yeah, you'd be like, let's approach this. Let's approach this as a full-on business model. Yeah. And then Greg would come in. We have to cover tracks. Yeah, Greg would be like, all right, so like, this is like the way that we're like, what's going to be like the best ROI? Yeah.

It's true. I think the one person in my life that would, with no question to ask, be like, okay, is my brother Chris. Yeah. Well, I think, yeah. He's a little crazy. Yeah, yeah, probably. Like, if I called him right now and said, don't ask questions,

I need you to come with me to beat somebody up. He's just saying like, all right. I think both your brothers would say, yeah. I think more Chris than Nick. More Chris than Nick. Nick would be down too, but... He'd have one question. Danny too. I think if I called Danny, he'd be like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Danny would be... Danny would be a little too excited probably. He'd be like, awesome. Prob. Who in your life do you think could legitimately be like, okay. I'd be inquisitive too. Just so we're clear. I'd be very questioning. I'd be...

We would probably get into an argument. He'd be like, you're just not going to say anything? You're not saying anything. That's the point. Have you seen the movie? I don't know. I don't know. Honestly, maybe Ahmed. Yeah, but Ahmed would be like, hold on, I'm getting waxed right now. Like he would have...

Oh, you know who's a good one? Josh. Yeah, Josh would be there. Josh is a great one. Yeah, that's a really good one. Yeah, that's a good point. Josh would be like, Josh would show up in his fucking pads. Like, he would show up in Muay Thai shorts and boxing gloves and be like, let's go. If I told Josh, like, yo, I'm about to get jumped by these guys. I need you to help me. And he's like, I just knocked out my boss. I'm on my way.

And then he'd show up, beat them up, and then beat you up just as consolation too. Yeah. It'd be fun. Everyone would get a kick in the head. There are other people. I don't want to name other people of our friend group because I don't want to expose. But I think there are other people too. One person that I can think of off the top of my head that you wouldn't want to mess with. I don't know. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, he'd be down.

Yes. Yes. I mean, I've gotten into fights because of that person when I wasn't... I didn't want to get into a fight. Yeah. But, you know, things happen. It's good to know one person like that in your life, and I hope everyone has that person. Joey, it's really great. New record. Didn't talk at all.

a single second about anything we wanted to talk about. Yeah. We tried. I'll be honest. We did. We did. But we didn't. Oak Tag prevails once again. Oak Tag and the Asians win this episode. So... I can't imagine what we're going to title this. Asian Jelly Cups. Done. Yeah. Yeah.

I don't want to see what fucking... I just hit a note. ...what graphics are produced for this episode because they might border on the... Right on the line of...
