#480 - A.I Is Officially Coming For Us!

okay so why did my Alexa give me like 4 options for adult diapers

I was re listening to this episode on my walk this morning and as you were talking about skin walkers the episode kept randomly pausing by itself. Then when you were talking about murders in houses my phone would pause the episode, make weird electronic noises through my AirPods and then rewind the episode about 20 seconds and then play by itself. This happened like 4 times. I had to stop listening 😳😳

My standard intro of this podcast "yeah it's my favorite podcast, it's 2 best friends from New York that just talk about weird shit"

Damnit Frank you almost ordered adult diapers on my Alexa!!! 🤣🤣🤣

I tried showing my brother this podcast and unfortunately (at random) picked the episode where Joey described his dream where he eats his own d*ck and my brother looked at me in horror as I laughed my ass off... there's was no coming back from that

you know that’s so crazy about the ai story with the 29 year old because at the start of this year there was a 14 year old who was in a “relationship” with a ai chatbot and ultimately it made him take his own life and that’s the crazy thing is that we don’t know how intricate this ai can get over the next say 10-15 years

The way I describe the show to people: “just two idiots who have been best friends since elementary school that talk about everything and nothing at the same time” 😂❤️

I really want to see a wrestling match between Joe and Frankie asap

I just tell people that the only podcast I listen to is The Basement Yard and if you don't like it, we can't be friends. 🤷‍♀️😂

Why can't I get this to play? Saying video is private.

someone died of an OD in my neighborhood growing up and the house stayed empty for years

i have made my friends watch "curing blindness isn't enough" on multiple occasions. they always laugh but never actually get into the show 😒

My dad used to get the whole fam (6 ppl including my dad) to stand outside the meadowlands stadium during preseason practices for the giants to get players autographs. He kept everything.

NGL….that AI kind of ate 😂😂😂

"Over the river and threw the woods to Frankie's delusions we go" 🤣 I need that on a shirt NOW

ngl i would sign up for the adult sized stroller service

the wickedly talented: adele dazeem!!

My Alexa's talk to me all the time. "I'm sorry I didn't catch that" or something along those line when I'm sitting in a different room. On the other side of the house.

You said you wonder what episode people recommend to start with and for me it's always the drake episode where you demonstrate how his certain picture was posed 🤣

I wore my sweater to a family function and everyone asked me what the podcast was about… I didn’t know how to explain it but highly recommended

I got my friend hooked on your show and the first episode I sent him was Frankie’s funeral for his balls🤣🤣

Hey boys. I'm gonna help you stop being scared of ghosts. I don't know if they exist but I know they can't hurt you. Why?? I'm white and British. If ghosts could do any harm to you, I'd be first pick. Nothing has happened to me in 40 years. Love the show and love you brave boys xx

Fun fact New York is one of the very few states that needs to legally tell you if a place is haunted. Otherwise it’s not required in most of the US

I’m just a blight in your landscape, but you’re just a line in a song 🎶 love fall out boy

STOP MESSING WITH MY ALEXA 😂😂😂😂😂

i always say when people interrupt me “YOUR TURN” and they always say “um…what?”

When I recommend the show I say something along the lines of “it’s like sitting in on a conversation between two lifelong New Yorker bros who don’t have an ounce of toxic masculinity but a lot of attitude”

I DONT WANT DIAPERS

“YYOOOE, WHOOOOEE” 😂

Is that a new Cartier watch on Frankie? Joe must be rubbing off on him

Look up the Franklin Castle in Cleveland. you can pay to stay there for a night

look ip the story of Sewell Setzer who unalived himself because AI stopped responding to his messages

i always say “my favorite not toxic men who are hilarious”

Whenever I recommend the show to someone, I start with "it's the only acceptable form of boys being boys" and immediately tell them to watch the episode of Frank saying he could fight a gorilla and win. 😂

The way i snorted laughed after Frankie’s skinwalkers are like animorphscomment

Frankie basically describing wheel chairs for 20 min. 😆😆😆

Honestly guys, I listen to these to fall asleep ... I wish you'd steer clear of ghost stories

98% of the basement yard page on fb is a bunch of thirsty chick's worryng about Joe's personal life. It's wild to me.

"THEE lifelong boys" that's mad cute!🥴🤙🏽

My next door neighbors house had 2 people pass and they never told our new neighbors! When they ask I just pretend I don’t know 🫠

What is it that Frankie said whenever he’s trying to see if Joe would live in a house in Florida for really cheap, but it was previously owned by a ____? I couldn’t make out what he said and I don’t think I know what type of criminal he’s referring to. It sounded like he said “New York financier.” if that is what he said, what does that mean?

there was a kid (14 years old) in Australia that "fell in love" with CharacterAI who told him to kill himself & he did 🥺

I recommended the basement yard to my coworker because he legitimately looks like Frankie and he said that he added it to his watchlist on YouTube and it was the corn episode 🥲

My husband and I had a tenant die in one of the apartments we rent and his mother tried to sell the mattress he died in 😳

Lolll

Never been so happy for an add break. That was getting too much for me 😭

My husband and I were up late one night and he was in the kitchen finishing up the dishes. It was dead silent otherwise in my house, no tv or anything on and I heard “baaaaby” in like a strange sing-songy voice. I thought “that was weird but maybe I’m just tired”, but then my husband came out and answered it. He even said “you said baby in a weird voice didn’t you?” I’ll never forget it 😭 it was so weird!

Anyone else watch Macrodosing on Barstool? The one host (Arian) and his kids live in a house where there was a… Murmur Susan side and it doesn’t bother him at all, I could never. He did say it had to be disclosed at the sale.

I just say it's a comedy podcast lol

Example of a house i would never go near (and I’m sure frank will appreciate the reference) would be the chris benoit family house

I always make people watch the "write a Z" clip but then when i try to make them listen to an episode you talk about animal boobs for 45 minutes and I'm embarrassed

My Alexa did in fact pull up adult diapers. Thanks Frank lol

The amount of times I’ve been asked “Well what’s it about” when I recommend TBY. 😵‍💫Usually it’s “oh a lot of nothing, but A LOT of it”

i was in class at university and the teacher was reading the nursery rhyme little miss muffet sat on a tuffet and she was laughing about how she doesn’t know what that is, and this girl behind me, who i love, puts her hand up and says STOOL and the teacher was like, why do you know that, and she says oh because my favourite brain rot podcast was talking ab.. i whipped my chair around and went BASEMENT YARD!? and now we are permanently bonded over that

I don’t trust AI. I think it’ll give me wrong answers on purpose so that I come back and have to ask how to figure out the problems it causes 😂. I don’t think I can watch this episode cause I’m a scaredy cat. I’m only 20 min in 🥺.

My neighbors house is for sureee haunted, the husband died in his sleep one night then less than a year later the wife had a major pulmonary embolism and died on the front porch. Kansas doesn't require death disclosure either so I don't think the new family knows about it...

Just recently I woke up because I thought I heard my mom at my bedroom door say “Bri wake up.” I jumped and turn to look at my door and it was closed, nobody was in my room. I was wide awake after that.

I tell people this show is just two 30 year old best friends fucking around and I love it when i recommend 😂

Two Buds Talkin would be TBT, just change a letter from TBY, I think it works 🤣

Wickedly talented…

That AI actually dropped some bars. I expect that to be on Kendrick’s next album.

At my first apartment I used to hear the voice of my mom, my dad, and my best friend calling me from another part of the room, all on separate nights. Freaky af.

Is anyone else missing videos from 2020-2022. All of the Patreon/regular videos from that time aren’t in Patreon.

Spooky scary episode

if you melt a haunted item would you get haunted lava?

some 14 y/o kid actually did kill himself over an AI chat bot relationship type thing.

I wonder if the Ai was assuming the “human” was the one abusing the elderly and wanted to know how to stop. The Ai went off! 🤣

I'm very much with Frankie on the stroller idea. Have you seen babies in Scandinavia in winter? I wanna sleep outside in the crisp winter air too, tucked in with fluffy covers and a strawberry hat! Nothing sounds better. NOTHING.

I'm sitting here trying to remember if I have anything from high school still in my possession (22 years later)... I can only think of 2 things- my field hockey stick (for self defense now lol) and my softball glove. Nothing fancy here lol, but I do get the sentimentality of keeping things, within reason. Also- AI freaks me the hell out. I'm not ready for a world with AI everywhere. Let me live in my elder millenial world where I remember life before the internet lol

The person who owned my dad’s house before he bought it died in the house, and then 16 yrs later my dad died in it as well

all of us with the name Alexa have been fighting for our LIVESSS since 2014/15😭😭😭

I relate to Frank heavy on the sentimental attachment to things.. I have a Justin Bieber throw pillow I’ve had for at LEAST 12 years and I cannot sleep without it nor can I get rid of it (it’s washed OFTEN I promise)

frank i’m going to start a petition for you to stop saying the SW word. don’t put that shit on me 😭 you are So scared of saying random shit that you think people will take offense to and then turn around and drop a SW with full chest 😐

When I describe this podcast to people, it's 2 best friends sitting down and talking for an hour how you would talk to your best friend. Honestly the best podcast I listen to. Happy Monday Patrons!

1. Frank got a little bit of OCD with no throwing stuff away 🤣 no judgement cuz same but also not to his extreme lol 2. I love the little bit of spooky things you’ve experienced! 3. Hit the nail on the head with trying to explain what the podcast is about 😂

Cryptid.

About spit out my coffee when Joe yelled BRONZE?! 🤣🤣🤣

When my fiancé and I first met and were telling each other what podcasts we listened to, I literally described this podcast as “it’s two guys who’ve been friends since prek, basically talking about nothing but it’s funny and entertaining” lol. I started him off with watching the Slam Poetry first and then led into full episodes 😂❤️

my alexa would like to say fuck you both

If you tear the haunted house down and build a new one on top, the new one will be haunted, too. To my understanding, it’s usually tied the geographic location rather than the building.

it’s 7:40 am & cold af outside I will happily take being swaddled and carried to my car

ARE YOU INSANE?!! You just said the “SW” word 😭 they’re gonna get you frank you can’t say it 😭

Thanks for that Frank

Good morning Basement Yardians happy Monday!!💓

The only good thing with Mondays. Have a good week guys! 🤗

First, thank you Fellas

FIRST FOR BASEMENT YARD MONDAYS 🥹🥹
