Chapter 1: Why are they going to the UK?
And the reason why this is coming up right now is, I mean, admittedly, I forgot that this even happened. And then like 20 minutes ago, I was tagged in a TikTok where she's talking about it and she's like, this is what they said. And I'm listening to it and I'm like, this is so bad.
Like, this is like just dumb, like to make a comment like that and say like, you know, they're connected at the pussy bone or whatever. And like, I'm not trying to make a joke of it. Like I'm saying the thing now because I want people to know like that's,
what i said and then we went on to speculate like oh if we were conjoined like this is what we would do and then then we were speculating about like their arrangement because that's what the the article was about was like they like one of them is this is what the article says i don't know if it's true i've also learned after the fact that that article misquoted them or whatever it is so you know
Chapter 2: What are the UK tour dates?
with a grain of salt, that like one of them has a boyfriend and one of them doesn't. So we were like thinking about like, oh, how does that work? And along the way, probably just like, it's an uncomfortable thing to talk about. I'm just not even realizing, I guess at the time wasn't realizing what I did, but like, it's just, it's stupid. And I feel really bad. And like, With the show.
I mean if you guys watch the show week to week to week, we don't like to offend people we're just trying to be silly and we're trying to just You know just I don't know just try to make people happy and and it sucks to sit here and be like Yeah, you just did the fucking thing that like and so many people also on the internet are like Oh these guys deserve microphones and everyone else is like a fucking asshole.
They're unproblematic and Then to have this yeah happen like oh Or that had happened before. It's like, now we just look like fucking idiots. You know what I mean? And I just feel really bad. And I just wanted to apologize to both Carmen and Lupita about, you know, the stupid shit that we said. We were just like, in our minds, just being silly or whatever.
But like, you know, obviously we said something that offended you. Looking back on it, I don't think it's fucking funny. Didn't really add anything to the show or whatever. It's just stupid. It's just stupid.
yeah and and i i mean i there's really nothing much else that i can say or contribute but you hit the nail on the head like we we just don't like we're like and and we're both very sensitive to this we're like i think we are always trying to make sure that we are just not upsetting people and just hearing from someone saying like hey that that is me i am that person like yeah
it's just like oh man you went on and on for fucking 20 minutes and again it's about a part of their life like i'm sure they've had to deal with ridicule from other people as well and like to be a part of that is something that is upsetting we there's no like we're not going to sit here and just be like that was done this is no it was wrong you know we fucked up and i'm not like minimizing it and calling it anything other than uh just sad and kind of gross and
yeah we carmen and lupita we apologize and and i i sent them a message on tick tock but i've never i didn't i've never messaged anyone on tick tock but i went to their page and i messaged them um i think it's a shared account and they haven't read it yet but i sent them a message basically apologizing letting them know that we're going to be apologizing on the episode um but Yeah, man.
And I, you know, I don't want anyone in the comments, like trying to like defend or be like, yo, it wasn't even that bad or whatever. Fuck. Like, bro, that's not what we're trying to do. Like at the end of the day, if someone's really upset by something that we said about them. like we're fucking, we're sorry. And like, it's idiotic. We don't have to do that.
Like we try to avoid that at all costs. And like, that was just a dumb thing. And you know, I'm, I'm not like, I think that we would never do that, especially now, like with the, you know, growth over the last, however long, like do feel a very big sense of responsibility to make sure people know that like, we, we aren't trying to be bad dudes.

Chapter 3: What is the significance of the UK shows?
Gnawing, like there's some power and emotion behind it. No, I think gnawing is like a dull, like... Gnaw, gnaw, gnaw? Do we Google this and find it out, or... Especially because I know how to spell it. Like, put it like this. Like a herbivore would chew. Raticate would gnaw. I gotta be honest with you. Okay, it's... Raticate, right? No, the answer, the definition is not a Pokemon, Frank.
No, gnaw is, by the way, I had no idea that gnawing had a... It's G. No, no, no, I knew that. I'm saying, like, I didn't know it had a different definition. It also means persistently worrying. Oh, like I'm gnawing over you? Yeah. Oh, the gnawing pain in your stomach. It's like, never heard of that. No, that was the example they gave. I love how you gave that like, I know that one.
Like, oh yeah, of course. Like the gnawing pain. You've never heard that? No, no, no. I've heard of gnawing pain before. I've never heard of gnawing pain. But it says to nibble, to nibble persistently. So a bunch of little nibbles. Oh, so it is. So you're right. Yeah, it's like a mouse. Like a mouse. So then ragtata. I don't know why everything has to be Pokemon.
Because everything has to be Pokemon. By the way, downloaded a Yu-Gi-Oh game on my phone. It has been on. I've been sending motherfuckers to the shadow realm. Wait, you downloaded a Yu-Gi-Oh game? Yeah. Like you paid? No. No, I didn't let it in. You bought a blue eyes white dragon? It's a free game. No, when you start the game, they're like, you get to pick from three decks.
I saw like, oh, it was like balance deck, defense deck, dragon deck. I took that dragon deck so fucking quick. Defense deck. Who the hell? Who's that? You know, but boy, oh boy, that dragon deck. Did it have a blue eyes white dragon? Oh, did it? Absolutely. It had a blue eyes white dragon in there. And I throw that son of a bitch down and I started watching the show again. What? I don't know.

Chapter 4: What did they apologize for in this episode?
2002?
2002.
There we go. Yeah, that's what it was. First episode, my guy pulls out Exodia. Stop. Yeah, dude, against fucking Kaiba. I don't remember who that is. Kaiba. Who's the guy with the cool hat that has like, it's like pink and white. It's like triangular. Oh, Pegasus. He's the bad guy. The guy with the eye. No. Who's the main guy? Yugi. Oh, so that's what I'm thinking. Yugi.
Wait, the main character in Yu-Gi-Oh, his name is Yugi. Yeah. So what's Yu-Gi-Oh? I mean, when someone, he's in trouble. Yu-Gi-Oh. Yeah. Okay. I don't, uh, So the cards are called Yu-Gi-Oh, like the card game. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But he's Yu-Gi. Yeah. It's not that hard to understand, Joey. I mean, it doesn't make sense. My guy Kaiba pulls out three blue eyes. That would be like Ash being Pokey.
Okay, so? But Pokey stands for Pocket Monsters.
Pokemon.
Yeah, I didn't get that. You didn't know that? No. You didn't know Pokemon was short for pocket monsters? No. Where have you been for the last 25 years? It's not in the song. Why would I know that? Yes, it is, Joey. I want to be the very best like no one ever was. Why don't you just get to the part that says Pokemonsters?
you don't it's hard like you you can't you you're gonna tell me you could start a song in the middle and know it i mean what is it so what is the lyric the lyric is um to get these uh to get these pocket monsters within my grasp uh is that true to get these pocket monsters within my grasp in the ball that i will clasp pokemon frank you made that i did oh you I had you. You did.
They don't say Poke- To get these pocket monsters within my grasp with this ball that I clasp. Pokemon. Honestly, that kind of fits in really well. Yeah. You don't think so? No. Why not? I mean, I don't know. We have proven I'm a lyrical genius before. And this is just another- Proven is a little- Another notch in the belt, so to say. I do wish, like, Pokemon was- I guess Pokemon is just hunting.

Chapter 5: How do they feel about their past comments?
There's that big rock next to my dock. In the water? Yeah. Yeah. There used to be a... Well, I think there is now, but before there was its current incarnation, there was a post that stuck out of the rock. Someone had put it there in order for passerbys to not drive up over it because it's a huge rock. Okay.
And I would go up, and when I was playing by myself as a kid, I'd go up there, and I'd go like, and I released the Pokemon into the wild. Yeah. I don't understand what that means though. I release Pokemon into the wild and then I would go and I would like... Why this? Why that? Just to like get them out because there's so much energy. Right, but where are you releasing them from? The post.
Oh, they were in the post. They were stuck in the ground. Oh. So the post was just like a... Got it. You know? Okay. And then I'd be like, oh my God, look up. There's Pharaoh and Pidgeot. I hated Pharaoh. Everyone hated Pharaoh, dude. No one liked Pharaoh. Pidgeotto? My guy. You know what was a good bird? My birds? Marty and Molly? No, fuck those birds. Skarmory.
It was like a metal-looking pharaoh. That's not an original. It's a second generation. You're missing out. There were some really cool Pokemon past your generation. Who was like the big one of the second gen? Lugia and Ho-Oh. And then there were the legendary dogs. Raikou, Entei, and Suicune. Sweet? Suicune. Suicune had a little... Yeah? Yeah. You know what I'm talking about.
You had a crush on her, him? Them. It was a, what was it? A dog? It was a dog, a legendary dog. Well, I did like Nine Tails and Arcanine. Crazy. Nine Tails. I mean, Vulpix was cute too, but Nine Tails definitely had it going on. Yeah, it did. You know? Eevee. You know I'm an Eevee guy. I know.
And then you went from Eevee to, I know you like Jolteon, but I could see you being a little whore for Flareon. You know what I'm saying? By the way, I mean, we're not gonna spend too much time on Pokemon, but like, to start, who are you taking? That's a very easy one. Which one? Charmander. Thank you. Yeah. Duh. Duh, duh, duh. Anyone you meet who's like Bulbasaur, I'd be like, all right, bro.
Bulbasaur is my least favorite of the three, I think, but it's Charmander by far. Wait. Do you have Pikachu as well? So in the original versions of the game, red and the Japanese version was green, but then there was blue in the U.S. Remember, it was a red and blue version. Yeah. It was just those three starters. And then remember your rival, which I always named Gary.
You probably named him something cool like Ass or Rocket. Ass. Ass. They would pick the one that was always in opposition. So if you took Charmander, they took Squirtle. Oh, that's what you mean. I would always make their name a curse word, by the way. Balls. Yeah, like penis. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Penis picks Bulbasaur. Oh, no, you've beat penis. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But then they released Pokemon Yellow version. Which you start the game and you can't take any of them, but you're just gifted a Pikachu. And the Pikachu walks around with you. I had that one. And then you can get, through trading, you can get Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur elsewhere. Got it. But you know what game... Where's your Nintendo Switch? In a closet? You fuck. Yeah.

Chapter 6: What are the sponsors discussed in this episode?
So go check it out at patreon.com slash TheBasementYard. Thank you guys for getting us to over 33,000 paid patrons. It is
very much so appreciated we are we are trying to give you guys what you love which is more of us and crazier things and bing bang boom so patreon.com slash basement yard we love you we thank you and we'll see you over there we'll see you over there uh but what was that i i want to just go back to the forget about your comment about me needing therapy
You feel no, like there's no part of you that wants. Therapy, Pokemon Snap. I mean, but like be honest with yourself for a second. When I think of Pokemon Snap, here's what I think about. Being in that kid's room and he had a giant lifelike doll that was dressed as Sting and I would do wrestling moves to it. So that was cool.
So maybe I didn't play a lot of Pokemon Snap because he would play Pokemon Snap and I'd be wrestling this thing. Gotcha. Okay. But hear me out. Yeah. If you had the opportunity right now to put something on and go out there and find and catch a Zapdos, you're not all about it. Do I have a Master Ball? Of course you have a Master Ball. Ultra Ball.
But you don't want to use a Master Ball on a Zapdos. You want to keep that for Mewtwo, which you can only get in the endgame after you beat the Elite Four and your rival, who you aptly name probably Penis. Yeah, probably. Yeah. Ass. That was so funny because that was definitely one of them. Well, I remember— It's like, ooh, ass.
So it's weird that this came up because we were just talking about this, but there was a guy that we knew at our after-school program that was a firefighter and lost his life on 9-11. I'm not going to say his name. You know who I'm talking about, though. He played Pokemon, and he showed me his lineup, and all of his Pokemon were named after wrestlers. So, like, his Squirtle was named Road Dogg.
And, like, his Pikachu was Mr. Ass. So, like... People did that. Yeah. You know, Mr. Ash shocked you. Yeah, exactly. But, um, dude, just, just, just why not? What do you have to lose? No, I mean, I, I mean, I just don't know when I'm going to be compelled to play Pokemon. I will sit you down. I will give you your favorite drinks and your favorite snacks. Frank, I'm not your daughter's. I know.
You're like, oh, I'll give you this in a little plastic cup. Here you go. You got your pretzel rods. It's nice to treat you like my child sometimes because there are parts of life that you don't realize are beautiful and fun and happy. And how much do you, how much? Shut up, shut up, shut up. How much? I'm going on a tangent here. How much do you want me to experience love and happiness and joy?
On your time, with you. Yeah, but also I'm saying like, even if we are not able to do it together, you want me to experience life and happiness and joy, right? I want you. And it's just my way of doing that for you is to give you a box of hot tamales and let you go and catch some Nidorans. That was some wild gaslighting that you did right now. And I'm actually impressed by that.
