Chapter 1: What Are Frank and Joey Discussing About Cooking Meth?

00:00 - 00:33 Frank Alvarez

welcome back to the base welcome back to the basement yard frank you seem like you're focused on something well joey i am the danger i am the one who knocks frank's watching breaking bad at home and that's pretty evident It is a problem. I'll admit it. When I get into shows, they become my whole personality sometimes. And that's okay. So you're going to start cooking meth?

0

00:33 - 00:45 Frank Alvarez

I'm not going to start cooking meth. Do you think you'd be good at cooking meth? No, because I have no knowledge of chemistry. Although, I will say this. It's probably just like cooking. I am confident enough. What are you doing?

0

00:45 - 00:46 Joe Santagato

What did I do?

0

00:47 - 00:48 Frank Alvarez

You're looking at us like something's going on.

0

00:00 - 00:00 Joe Santagato

Because you guys were talking about cooking meth, I would say.

00:00 - 00:00 Frank Alvarez

Start the timer. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Start the timer. Demonetize. Yeah. Oh, wait. I think it's just similar to cooking. If you're a good cook, then you're a good cook. No, but I think, like, there's, like, titration and, like. What's that? Polymerization. That's a Pokemon card. No. Yu-Gi-Oh? It might have been Yu-Gi-Oh. Yeah, I think it was.

00:00 - 00:00 Frank Alvarez

But, like, polymerization and chemistry, I don't know enough about chemistry. I am confident, though, that if I did want to learn chemistry, I'd be able to do it. I don't think you need to learn chemistry, bro. The other guy became really good at it, and he's an idiot. Well, because he was watching him, and he was a fucking master chemist. He was cooking his own. You could cook good enough meth.

00:00 - 00:00 Frank Alvarez

Don't be down on yourself. You can cook good enough meth. I mean, I'm not trying to cook meth. Let's make that very clear. You do a great job. Let's make that very clear. I'm not cooking meth. I don't have it in me to cook meth. I wouldn't be a good meth cooker. I wouldn't do it because I heard it explodes if you're bad. I heard that it's like...

00:00 - 00:00 Frank Alvarez

one little switch and it's like you make mustard gas instead of meth or something like that. That's what I mean. Yeah, you die. That's not good. Yeah, but I would like to wear a gas mask. Those are cool. I'm trying to think if I ever wore a gas mask. Bro, I used to think that gas masks were so cool.

Chapter 2: Why Is Frank Obsessed with Masks and Personalities?

31:10 - 31:10 Joey

Damn.

0

31:10 - 31:12 Unknown

Yeah. They probably spotted you, dude.

0

31:12 - 31:29 Frank Alvarez

You were followed. I was good. I was good. I was good. I was inconspicuous. Anyway, apparently this thing came out, you know, girl scout cookies, very popular, but apparently they did a test on the cookies and in a hundred percent of the samples, they were some form of metal.

0

31:31 - 31:32 Joey

Oh. Allegedly.

0

00:00 - 00:00 Frank Alvarez

Allegedly. Allegedly.

00:00 - 00:00 Joey

Allegedly.

00:00 - 00:00 Frank Alvarez

Allegedly. We don't know what the deal is. We don't know if this is true or if it's not true or what the deal is, but there is an ongoing investigation, and there's 100% of the samples they're saying have traces of metal. I will say this. If you had asked me, I would have said they had traces of crack because, boy, oh, boy, once I pop, I cannot stop. This is just my opinion.

00:00 - 00:00 Frank Alvarez

I honestly think... I think Girl Scout cookies are overrated. You're bananas. I don't think they're bad. I think they're overrated. I think people are like, oh, I need 10 boxes. They're fine. Well, it's because the boxes are cheap-ish, I guess, and... I don't know, dude.

00:00 - 00:00 Joey

You're trying to like support little kids. I will say whoever.

Chapter 3: What Are the Weirdest Food Experiences Discussed?

62:37 - 62:37 Joey

800,000?

0

62:37 - 62:41 Frank Alvarez

What was your answer that you knew?

0

62:45 - 62:51 Joe Santagato

I was going to say a thousand years, maybe. Shut up. What is the maybe? You made it seem like, oh, I know this question.

0

62:51 - 63:11 Frank Alvarez

Maybe a thousand years. Here's the thing. With questions like this, you're either criminally under what the answer is, like we are with a month, or you're outlandishly over. Here's the thing. Thousand years sounds way more like realistic. 800,000 years? I feel like I could fill it in at 800,000 years.

0

00:00 - 00:00 Unknown

That's so much time. Not really.

00:00 - 00:00 Frank Alvarez

Well, first of all, you ain't living to be 800,000, Joey. I'm saying in a wizard life where I could live that long and pee. That's a lot of years. I guess I never knew how big is the Grand Canyon, dude.

00:00 - 00:00 Unknown

Apparently fucking massive.

00:00 - 00:00 Frank Alvarez

If it's taking this long to fill, it would piss. It can't be that big. They've got to be doing some math incorrectly. I did go on Reddit because I was like, let's see. Oh, it must be real on there. No, no, no. This is a video that went viral. So I went on Reddit to see... Or I was looking it up to make sure I had the numbers correct. And then I saw a Reddit link. And then someone did math.

00:00 - 00:00 Frank Alvarez

And they were like, I think this thing is off.
