Please welcome to the stage a man who answers all of the Cosmos questions with, damn, that's crazy. It's hilarious. Frankie Kenyon. Frankie. Frankie is a great name to say.

It's a great name. Thank you, Kevin. Frankie. Frankie. Yeah, it's cooler than Kevin. You know, I know

Kevin's gone, man. No more Kevin. John is so boring, you know. Yeah. Yeah. Wait, so Frankie, you started this character Creeper, and he now has an expanded universe in a talk show on YouTube, and I I do want to hear the origins of Creeper, but I do want people to see it and hear it before we talk about it. So, we show Let I want to show a clip.

Yeah, homie. So, it's 2026, homie. And in the new year, you got to set goals, homie. It's important, homie. You know what I'm saying? Like with intention. You know what I mean? Like things that you've been putting off, things may be a little bit, a difficult, but I know it's better for my life. You know, it's important to set those goals, homie, so you can get it cracking. You know what I'm saying? So, think about that. What are your plans for 2026? HEY, RUDY, WHAT'S UP?

WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS, HOMIE, FOR 2026? OH, TO BINGE WATCH THE WIRE. I THINK GIVES PEOPLE a sense of it. So, so how how did you make a kind of uh I don't know like kind of a a a gentle loving uh Latino Peewee Herman's Playhouse? How did it come to be?

Yeah. Well, you know, I mean, Creeper, uh, you know, was an inspiration for my from my dad and family. And then uh over the over time he kind of you know his universe started expanding his audience grew and then I kind of just got to this point where I was like I want to do something that just me and the homies could do in my own little space and you know we made a in my studio we built like a replica of my grandpa's garage and we're like you know so it's creeper crib live from my grandpa's garage and then it's just like you know and then uh the pantola already was a character in my world cuz he really did they start ripping after a while the slipper is pantofla slipper and then so you know we started just making a voice to it pretty organically just around the house. We're like, "Oh, this guy's a new character."

And then uh then Rudy Rudy came to life. But yeah. Yeah. You know, Pee's Playhouse is a big uh big uh inspiration. Yeah. You really commit like it's you commit because you the slipper goes on journeys including to an IKEA, I believe.

Yeah. Yeah. You went to IKEA to look for a desk. Yeah. What do you What does this character like? You you there was a question as to whether or not you would do your special as the character or not. Right.

Right. Right. Right. and you and you decided and and you Ally Wong directed it and there was you she wanted you to do it as you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Alli uh she she gave me some good advice. She was like look uh you know a lot of these people know you these as these online characters or as an actor. She's like uh but I know you as a great standup and I think it's important that you show that side of you. And so uh yeah I took her advice and then we built out the hour and then yeah recorded it and taped it. It was

that's cool. A lot of people tell me what I was gonna say. Was that a good idea? No, I was going to say, well, a lot of people say, "Oh, you do this show and people get to really see the real you. It's probably a good idea for you to hide that in a character if you're going to do a special." What else could you make this so it's less about who you are as a person? That's sort of the feedback I get. So, it's just a different dynamic we get.

Yeah. That's why I started doing characters that escape my childhood trauma. Like, hey, you could become someone else, you know?

So, yeah, I totally understand that. What do you do to escape your childhood trauma, Kevin Neilen?

I move. I just move. You got to keep moving. Stay ahead of the weather. Keep moving. Um, but Frankie, what's the name of your special? Is it loose? Loosen what?

Uh, loosen the Damn, that's crazy. You're so loose in the crotch. That's I like it. I like it. I like it.

Wait. And now you both worked on a film together, right? Uh, Plantman and Blondie, a dressup gang film. I was not included in it. That's fine.

Uh, uh, how did that happen? Yeah. Well, I'm in a a group called the Dressup Gang. A good friend of ours, Kirk Fox, does a lot of stuff with us. Kirk Fox is a really good friend of Kevin. Obviously, I'm a stand up. Kevin's a stand up. He's like, you know, a legend in my eyes. And then so he came on. Yeah. So, he was uh he did us a favor by stepping on this indie project for us. And thankfully, it came out great. His character's great. I sort of nervously approached him. I said like, "Thank you, Kevin. Thanks for doing this." And he's like, "Okay, whatever."

Well, he then he introduced you to his nephews if my understanding of what happened.

I call it a solid. I did him a solid. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, we got into South by it's going to premiere there and we're excited.

That's great. We got into South by South Sundance. South by Sundance. Yeah. Now, in your special Damn That's Crazy, which is out now on Hulu. Uh you talk about alcohol, cocaine, and sex toy addiction during the pandemic. Now, hypothetically, if someone was say still dealing with those challenges post pandemic, what would you recommend I do?

Uh yeah, man. And I mean, you got to start looking from within, but also it's okay if you're still enjoying those toys and stuff. And you know, I you know, do your thing.

Cocaine's a tough in the house drug. It was rough, bro. It got weird for your boy. Yeah. Yeah. Trying to kill I was just trying to kill the COVID with cocaine and I turned into a little lab rat with a fake butt. Just Okay. I'm in a relationship with like just

interesting. I I honestly I'll tell you the truth, the fake butt. I get it. the the thing I don't the cocaine in the home because for me weed made much more sense during the pandemic. That's a in the that's a couch drug. Yeah. You know, and you can really use weed throughout the whole pandemic because you're just on the couch. But cocaine's an out of the house thing. Cocaine's an in the world thing. You must have been bouncing off the [ __ ] walls.

Oh yeah. Well, yeah. I was just shelter in place and don't go anywhere. You're a good person. So yeah, I'm sober now though, thankfully. Should I treat this more seriously, you think?

No, man. I mean, do you have any me being alive? Yeah, that's pretty serious. But yeah, so other than that, you could Yeah.

Frankie, you got any vices now aside from what you had? Um, what's your what are your what's your guilty pleasure?

Thankfully, not not as bad as that. You know what I mean? Yeah. It's crazy when people Yeah, a little bit. But it is funny when people are like, "Oh, what's your vice?" People go, "Oh, ice cream. I'm Rene." And I'm like, "Damn, dude." Like, I was doing cocaine off a fake butt like in a in a relationship with it. like, "Hey, we're going to get through this," you know, like.

So, yeah, it was like your Wilson. Did you ever miss the fake butt? Did the fake butt have a voice that you now no longer hear?

Uh, yeah, for sure. It was I only I barely threw it out maybe like a few months ago and it was a little ceremonial cuz we had been through so much. Um, but it had like a bunch of lint on it and stuff and I was like, it's time to go, you know, and and you know, just it was better to let that chapter of my life go. But yeah. And then I my understanding is that you you put it out on the on the kind of raft and then you had the archers fire the one lit arrow and then poof, you know.

That's exactly what My wife has a really fun thing in the bathroom. Uh at least I think it's fun.

It's a it's a round embroidery thing. Um and it's embroidered um please refrain from doing Coke in the bathroom. You know, like it's grandma's uh little embroidery thing.

Oh, it was Yeah. Yeah. But you should smoke it. But you shouldn't. No, please don't.

But the point is that you shouldn't, right, Kevin Nan? Not good. It depends on what you're able to do. How about meth? You ever do meth?

What haven't you tried? Uh, I never like use needles, thank God. But yeah. What about uh lip fillers?

He said he didn't use needles. That crazy. Is that That's That's a needle drug, the lip fillers. And it does get you, you know, like meth the the ne the filler gets a hold of people and like you know like people get be addicted to meth and they just look different after a year or two. People get addicted to the filler. They come back like what happened to you? It's like

I got addicted to fillers. You know my aunt my oh [ __ ] I shouldn't say exactly who she is but uh

I have a lot of aunts. So one of mine got addicted to Botox you know like where it's like it's weird bro eating with her and stuff and when she laughs she's like you're so funny. You're so funny me and I'm like ah I love you. Yeah. You ever get Botox?

Okay. Okay. Here we go. Uh, this one of those suction cups. Frankie, first question is for you. White women, net good or bad for the world?

White women? Yeah. Oh, we need them. Yeah. Oh, cool, dude. They're That's a relief.

They're on the front lines for us. Yeah. Yeah. Stand down, ladies. Thank you, guys. Repeat.

All right, let's do it. Let's do another one. We got to say thank you, white women. Just

Yeah. Uh, same question, please. Yeah. Yeah. Let's do Let's see what this one says. Oh, this. Okay. Uh, what does the 10-second rule start, Kevin? When the food falls or when you notice the food has fallen? It starts as soon as I come across that food on the ground. Yeah. And it's not quite 10 seconds. It's It could be however long it takes. Yeah. Huh.

But that is a that is a uh an interesting kind of a concept, isn't it? Uh the 10-second rule.

Um I mean, if it's one on the floor for one second, that's all that matters, you know? So, it might as well be a half half a minute rule. Frankie, man, you got me doing a lot of calculations right now. I'm like, yeah. Like, okay, it hits the ground. I think 5-second rule says like little things can crawl in it. Maybe that's that's what that is. Can I tell you something? And I've I'm nervous for what I'm about to say, which is I eat off the ground.

Full stop. It's good for you. Clean clean. If it's dry, if it's dry and I'm indoors and it doesn't seem like there's a problem. What if it's wet on tile?

Wet. No. No. Wet. If it's wet, it's over. Any wet? If the food was wet, if the floor is wet, if both are wet, it's out. Nothing can be wet cuz that picks everything up. If it's wet, it's a no. But if I drop a comment,

what if it's raining? then it's like kind of already getting clean. That's wet to me.

Okay. But I but if I was I if I drop food on the ground and I and and I see it fall, I pick it up and some because I know it makes other people a little bit uncomfortable and I feel like if I don't acknowledge it, other people might feel strange. What happens is and I believe I'm telling you the truth. This happened yesterday at the office. I was in a conversation. I was prepping for an interview and I was talking to to the producer. We're going back and forth and I was having some almonds and I dropped an almond on the floor and I reached down and picked it up and I said, "I'm going to eat this and it's fine." And I just ate the almond cuz I want to acknowledge it and maybe that's stupid.

Now that I say the way you're looking at me, I feel bad. No, I think I was just going to ask you, you know, Frankie I wanted to ask you this question. Um, when this is a thing I never knew it before, but when you have a little something on stain on your shirt and you go like that, you know, and then if you go back with the same finger, I was with somebody that goes, "Oh, no, no, no, no. You can't do the same finger." You know, you got to do a different finger. Okay. You cleaned it with that one already. You don't come back and lick what you just cleaned up.

Frankie, does that make sense? Yeah. Yeah, it does to me. Uh, next question. Do you think you could start a religion if you tried hard enough? Either one can take it.

Well, Frankie and I actually started a religion. Yeah, it's cra It's crazy that you're bringing this up.

Yeah, we were uh we were the two cult figures in it. Oh, that's cool. And we had gowns. Frankie, tell them about our gowns that we had.

Oh, man. Well, we grew up together watching you. So, it was like we had these gown.

They were love gowns. Yeah. Yeah. We had these gowns that we go over. It was at mostly at your mom and dad's house, but we would uh

And they were embroidered on the back. They said, "Please refrain from um sleeping with either one of us in the bathroom."

Yeah. Frankie. Hey, Kevin. Kevin, I have a question. It's so it was I actually So when you said I grew up watching you, do people say that to you?

They do. And and so is that a little preemptive thing you now do sometimes? Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. It's funny. No, it is interesting when when a 60-year-old comes up to me and says, "I grew up watching you."

No. Or here's another one. I love it. Someone some uh attractive woman will come over to me. I go, "Oh, here we go." And she'll go, "You remind me of my father. My parents love you. Remember that, Frankie?

Yeah. Yeah. How does that make you feel? I feel uh great. Somebody likes me. Are you comfortable getting older?

Yes. Cuz it's a very slow process, right? If it happened quickly, uh it would be uncomfortable. But And you do it slowly. You get to have things fixed along the way.

You know what I mean? I've had a lot fixed. Yeah. ME, TOO. YEAH. DO YOU WORRY ABOUT GETTING OLDER, FRANKIE?

UM, what it's like to Not as much as I used to. Yeah. Really? You used to worry about it more.

I mean, I just kind of didn't. I was just Yeah. I don't know. You're doing all the cocaine, not worried about really anything.

Everything was dumb, you know. Everything was kind of kind of crazy. But yeah, I do think it takes a a strong person to grow older. You know, when I'm going to Frankie, may I when I uh when I'm in a car and there's a driver and he looks really old,

I'll say, "When did you graduate high school?" And it'll be like five years before I did or after I did. And I go, "Oh man, this guy's not taking care of himself." You know what I mean?

Yeah. Well, I do know what you mean. Well, I often do want to know how old people are and then just gauge how I'm doing against them. Like I don't feel bad about getting older, but I want to know that I'm doing well. Like I want to do it right. Like I don't need to look younger than someone younger than me, but I do need to look younger than someone older or my own age. That is

imper like I actually got pissed off when I heard how old you are. You know, cuz Yeah.

How old are you? I'm 43. 43. But I got He's doing that. He's doing the Native American sitting like here and there. We were in the back watching. You're like, I [ __ ] I can't do that anymore man.

We having a yoga class. This is Listen, all you have to do is say, "All right, this hair Beverly Hills,

the current weight is because of Ozmpic." Oh, really? You lost a lot of weight?

Oh, yeah. Oh, you did Ozmpic? [ __ ] yeah. And it was hard, too, cuz when I was trying to get it, it was like shortages and all the diabetics needed it. And so it was like the diabet.

And so it's like diabetics. It's like come on, like get me in front of this [ __ ] sugar losers. Okay. So, you're doing all the things. Yeah. Nice. Well,

good for you for taking no fillers. Yeah. Yeah. Can I ask you just a serious question before we wrap this segment, which is there's such a kind of sweetness and gentleness to the show and it is at a time and like and with such love for your community and it is at a time where a lot of people who are Latino, who are Mexican feel like they're targeted for being Mexican. Like, do you do you feel that in making the show? Do you think about that in your standup? Like, do you do you feel that in your life? Like what what right now does it feel like to be wanting to make something kind of loving and kind in a world that is less loving and kind? For sure, man. I mean, I'm my comedies always has like a layer of optimism or warmth even though my topics get crazy, pretty vulnerable, but you know, the we need each other more than ever right now. And it's so like mind-blowing. I feel like I'm in a show

and there's so much pain and so much heartache and you can only donate so much and do this. So, I'm just trying to do my little part of just like showing up for people to give them an escape from it, but also show up for them in whatever else way they need me. But connection is what we need more than anything, you know, just like right now. Cuz I think we went through a stage where we're just like so divided and so we're like, "Yo, homie, look at how crazy this is." But also, yeah, don't [ __ ] with the kids, homie. What are you doing?

It's now for our favorite segment. It's a new segment where I look back on this very show and see if I regret anything

in a segment we call Second Thoughts. First up, when Kevin, you brought up uh sketching iconic Saturday Night Live legends, uh, including Phil Hartman, rather than follow up with any kind of question about it.

I started talking about sitting crisscross applesauce and I think I really missed an opportunity.

Well, that was my fault because I asked you about it. Yeah, but I could but I'm the host. I could have I could have taken us back to kind of something more interesting uh in terms of I could have helped you tell some interesting story, but instead I I didn't.

Yeah, but I I enjoy the way you sit. But you might be right. Uh oh, I I also one regret I also have is that um given some of the empty silences that I enjoyed, you felt the need to grab hold of the show and basically start hosting it yourself at several points. And I just want you to know I regret that.

Well, you shouldn't you shouldn't regret that because that's my fault. Yeah. Yeah. It's nothing no bearings on you at all. Um I just I don't like long empty spaces like that.

You know what I mean? No. Uh now Frankie. Yeah. Um uh this is a similar It's always about Frankie, isn't it?

Similar regret. Um I I don't really regret that Kevin jumped in to ask you questions while we were talking. Mhm.

I regret that his questions were better than anything that I was going to ask. I think that he had great follow-ups and I was like, "God, I should ask a follow-up like that, but I they didn't come to me in the moment." And so, I regret that.

Yeah. Oh, I'm sorry that uh he gave you that impression. You know what I mean? I'm sorry that I'm sorry that you feel that way. But no, I think you I you know, Kevin's Kevin.

Well, what do therapists say about regrets? I wouldn't know. I'm too busy to go. Ask me if I've had any any regrets.

Hey Kevin, have you had any regrets? I've had a few, but not enough to mention.

Frankie, give me a high five. Um, oh, another regret is um I think I probably shouldn't have talked so much about how seriously I am about eating off the ground.

It was a lot of It was a lot of wet like Well, yeah, that was really gross. I would say that was I think it's gross probably.

Not very healthy. Um, but is it bad? I don't know. Um, well, you didn't get sick. You never got sick from it, right?

I could. I mean, I've gotten sick. Oh, from that. How do you know? No one ever knows.

People always say, "Oh, I got sick from this." They don't [ __ ] know. Nobody ever knows because no one ever says whenever anybody gets sick, there was like, "It was the Taco Bell." It's like, "Was it was it?" I mean, that's obvious. Of course, you point the finger at Taco Bell, but you never say, "Oh, I got sick. I had Taco Bell and my mother's famous lasagna. I think it was my mom that did it. Like you never say that. You Taco Bell is the easy scapegoat.

That's what people say when they fart, too. Okay, I had an egg salad sandwich this want to go through the whole menu. What they
