What's the best place to get a sunburn?
The best place to get a sunburn?
The best place. Yeah, not the worst.
The best.
I probably your neck.
I you think that I can I'm I'm a crinkled neck sleeper.
I don't think that would work well for me.
All right. Hold that thought.
Hello and welcome to another episode of the regulation podcast.
It's a baker's dozen.
Eric reminded me this is episode 13.
My name is Jeff Ramsey with me as always.
Andrew Panton, Eric Badour, Gavin Free, Nick Schwartz.
In order of importance, but from odd to even
numbers. How's everybody doing? Andrew, you were asking what the best place to get a sunburn
is. I'm just yeah, because obviously there's a lot of bad places. I was trying to think
of what would be a good place to get one lower back, mate.
Ma, no, I guess you lay lower back? Not bad. Lower shoulders.
I would say shoulders.
I often film in that quarry and it's got very sort of chalky white ground.
And if I don't put sunscreen on the on my undercarriage,
it like gets on my inner thighs.
The sun bounces off the ground of my shorts.
That would be bad.
That would be a bad spot for a burn.
It's pretty rough. It's in the chafe area. Oh
Yeah, I don't want anything in the chafe area
What's the worst sunburn you've ever had like have you ever had like a big pus filled blister? Oh
I have
You know what different places I was thinking it'd be really funny to make a skin suit
Like if you burn your entire body is really funny.
What do you mean?
It's like it's psycho.
Well, if let's say your whole body burns and it peels.
Just be like a big walking blister.
Yeah. Like how your skin peels like you, Christian Bale, an American psycho
with the face mask. But it's just your whole body.
I'm imagining like a chalk outline of a crime scene.
That's just you skin like a snake, like how a snake sheds skin.
That's horrible. The human shakes or snake that shake.
I got liquids on the brain.
I'm drinking lightly sparkling water, which I didn't know was a thing.
And it's terrible.
I don't say you've like soda streamed and left overnight.
No, it's a it's a bottled product.
It's a canned product that is lightly sparkling.
I didn't know that you could have a variety of sparkling types.
It's got to be all or nothing when it comes to fizz.
I yeah. Who wants less fizz?
If I want fizz, give me all the fizz.
This just feels flat like you said. Yeah, I think fizz is all or nothing, right?
It's all gas. No breaks with fizz.
I'd agree with that.
As a matter of fact, if it's just a little bit of fizz,
it makes me think it's a bad. No. Strawberry.
Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.
You know how strawberry goes bad and it's just like a little bit of fizz.
Yeah.
The fact that there are other brands making lightly
sparkling water deeply concerns me.
This shouldn't. I was hoping it was just this weird.
This is a Chateau water.
I thought it was just fancy, a fancy water thing.
That's a company who found out that the CO2 cartridges started to cost
way more money after the pandemic and tried to
figure out a creative solution to the use less.
This may be creative.
It's not good. Would not recommend.
I have a beverage dilemma that isn't even in my notes, but we're talking about
beverages. I don't know what to do about.
I have a drink in my fridge, padded in my fridge for about four months
And I don't know what to do about it cuz it's no well
Probably I probably even stop you pour down the sink. Here's the thing though
this is what makes it a little bit of a wrinkle it is a
Slush drink from a boba place. Oh you got a drink it. Yeah. Yeah, you got to drink it, dude.
For sure. You don't want to throw that out.
But here's the well, it's great.
First of all, great drink, as Eric saying, it would hate
and hate to make it a waste.
But this is where the dilemma comes in.
They vacuum seal it.
It's a vacuum sealed top in a cup.
So it is as sealed as it can be.
Isn't boba typically kind of milky?
But it's not Boba. It's like a slush drink.
It's like a slurpee.
I imagine somebody took a slushy and then vacuum sealed it.
But there might be some like strawberry puree.
I don't know what the shelf life is on a puree.
Oh, you got time.
Why didn't you drink it at the time?
I planned on drinking it the next day,
and so I put it in my fridge and then I forgot it existed.
And now I find it and I go, oh, man, I hate to throw that away.
But I don't know how this up.
I don't know how this works because it's not in a bottle.
If it was in a bottle, I would just drink it.
It's fine. But it's in a bottle, I would just drink it. It's fine.
But it's in a cup that's been vacuum sealed.
And I don't know the rules around that.
How do you vacuum seal a cup?
I don't think it's been vacuum sealed at all.
I think it's just that somebody just pressed a lid on.
Yeah.
Like if it's in a pouch, this vacuum sealed.
How's it in a cup, though?
Is there a straw in it?
No, you have to pierce the top.
It's a sealed.
So the top, okay.
Yeah, I mean, it sounds like, I mean, the way you're describing it and everything, Andrew,
I think it's good to go, man.
I think you could pop that thing open.
Here, I'm gonna, I'll take a photo.
Eric's trying to kill you.
Is there dairy in it?
Have a drink real quick, dude.
Yeah, there's no, there's no way.
And even if there was, it's fine, dude. It sounds like it's sealed
It is it couldn't be more sad take a photo. Uh-huh. Are we doing something?
You're we doing yeah, I was gonna say is this thing. We know this is no no
I'm on I'm on the soy milk soy teriyaki phone or
soy phone what
The soy sauce phone whatever Whatever it's got.
The soy sauce.
Whatever the sauce.
I don't remember what the sauce was.
It said soy oil.
His phone is made with soy oil.
Yeah, I'm on the soy phone.
Soy oil phone.
Here's the photo of the drink.
This is literally this would be in my fridge for four or five months at this point.
It's good.
Oh yeah, that's sealed.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. it's it's super sealed.
That's not vacuum sealed. That's just like heat.
See, that's like they've melted the lid on that.
There's air in there.
It's way more sealed than I thought it was.
There's an air gap.
I don't think there is. Where would the air gap be?
Where there's right above the liquid.
That's air above the liquid.
That's air. That is. Oh, I see. I see you're saying. OK.
If it was vacuum sealed, they would it would the liquid be the only thing in there.
Got it. Understood. Thank you.
That cleared up a lot. OK. Now, Andrew, did this does this have boba balls in it?
No, no balls. OK. No boba in it.
It is. Imagine, as I said, a slushy is where we start.
So here's the deal.
If you rip the top off and you see mold or mildew on the top,
then you have your answer.
If it looks fine, I'm going to guess it's fine.
That's what I'm.
That's where I'm kind of at.
I don't know about that, because it's like with milk.
You do the whiff test, right?
You give it a little huff and you can just tell. I don't know if that. Because it's like with milk, you do the whiff test, right? You give it a little huff and you can just tell.
I don't know if that would smell bad, but it could still have bacteria in it.
Can can we try at the end of the of this episode to see if like if you I want you to think
about it.
But if you like you keep looking at it, you go, you know what?
Now is the time at the end of this episode.
Can you just like you want to like give it a drink if it's something that you
want? I don't I don't know.
I don't know here.
I'm going to post a photo of what it looks like when I got it.
You have a contract.
I must let you intended for this experiment.
Yeah. No, I think of a full picture of all your food.
No, I just Googled.
I just Googled where I got it from.
So it looks nothing like that anymore.
Well, it's no. But like if you just melt that, I think it would look the exact same.
Shouldn't a slushy be kept in the freezer?
Or does that make it too cold?
What do you mean? No, it would solidify.
I think it needs to be kept in between.
Yeah. It's like a regulator box.
You need a slusher.
It needs to be constantly broke.
It needs to be a regulator box.
It needs to be cold.
It needs to be frozen, but stirred
constantly.
Yes.
Exactly.
I don't think a strawberry
as an ingredient would last
months.
I agree.
But I don't know if it's real
strawberry.
If that's fresh, real strawberry. I think you have to walk away
If it's just flavoring I might be okay. It's probably just really stale
Why don't you just rip that bad boy open and just take a deep whiff and see what see what you feel
You you're the one that said that the whiff test would not work
My work it might work. I don't know Eric's trying to kill you for sure, though.
I wouldn't I wouldn't drink.
I mean, he's just asking if he can have a drink.
And I'm saying, baby, that looks pretty good.
Why do you want some of our company to die?
No, no, not die.
I just want him to have his nice drink.
They don't have any ingredient list on their website as well.
It's well, strawberries.
Great water.
It's frozen secrets.
First, this, I guess, isn't on the menu anymore.
So I'm looking at other slushes.
What?
So now it's valuable.
Oh, wow.
You hang on to it.
There might be people, collectors out there.
It's factory sealed.
Yeah, this is a factory. Se sealed was what I was looking for.
Not vacuum. Thank you.
Yeah, it's sealed.
Yeah, you say this could be a PSA 10 boba time.
Yeah, I mean, it's definitely not from a factory, but it is sealed.
Yeah, it says on the honeydew slush and icy blend, a bold fruity honeydew flavor,
which makes me think there's no actual
Organic fruit. You're right, dude. Then you're good. Like that's yeah, but I don't trust it because then I go to oh
No, because then I get a passion fruit slush and it says a frosty combination of sweetened tart flavors the perfect imbalance slush
dotted with real passion fruit seeds
There's that's real
That's the opposite of flavor all those seeds
They would seeds forever. Yeah, it's keep dude I would have a passion fruit tree if that was what was in my the seeds would have grown by now
I mean you could take a passion fruit seed and freeze it for a hundred thousand years and thought out and plan it and it'd be fine
Mm-hmm and freeze it for a hundred thousand years and thought out and plan it and it'd be fine. Mm hmm.
Um, I think three months in a fridge wouldn't do any damage to a seed.
I guess I'll open it. I guess I'll open it.
I'm really nervous about this.
I'm not.
Did I'm so glad you're doing this.
I had fucking nothing.
I did this in my notes.
You have nothing off after such a break.
Oh, wait, we didn't have a break, did we?
We didn't. We didn't have a break.
And nothing, nothing in our lives happened.
It was a very uneventful. I got shit.
I struggled. I stretched.
But, you know, this is better.
I had a lot of stuff landed in my lap.
That's all I'm saying.
Dude, you have to put I saw some stuff
laying in your yard the other day.
I'm in house. I'll get to it.
What's happening Andrew?
mmm, I
Don't trust it. I don't trust this. Did you open it? Yeah, I'm peeling it now so I could get a better view
get the old nostrils in there I
Did a little black cloud like a soul escape not that I noticed it is a little dark in here. Let me see.
Did you hear any noises, demonic noises, high pitched squeals or anything?
It just it smells like syrup.
OK, I don't see anything.
Maybe let me. Oh, shit, the lid just went fucking.
God damn it.
Oh, fucking piece of shit.
Lid.
It's fucking thick.
Oh, don't spill.
It's the simplest thing on Earth hard.
I I have a huge problem with it just with standing liquid.
I hate it.
You know, like when you leave a bottle of water and then it all gets all drippy and
condensate on the inside, it's repulsive.
I left a half a glass of Pepsi out last night.
And when I saw this morning, I got so fucking mad at myself
because I was like, well, I can't drink that.
It's gross now.
And I just wasted a half a glass of Pepsi.
And I'm going to want that Pepsi later on today, like right now, for instance.
And I won't have it because I had to pour it down the fucking drain like an idiot.
Was it the last of your Pepsi?
Yes.
Interesting. Interesting.
Yeah. I can smell strawberry in the air now that I fully removed the lid.
That's a good sign. There's a sweetness in the air that wasn't that's definitely strawberry.
I think that's all it's good for.
It's an air freshener, but I'd call it there.
Also, like in terms of drinking it or not, if there's harmful mold in it,
you just release those spores into the air and you're now breathing them into
your body and your lungs. So you're going to get it either way.
This is how the last of us started. I got the spores in me now.
Looking at this picture, you've just taken a new picture of the top.
Are you sure this isn't on the umidigi?
That looks like a can of paint.
That was a top down of a can of?
Red paint there's a bunch of
No, no
Dust is what I would
Get rid of this shit. I think I think one drink isn't gonna hurt you. It's just one little sip
I love it when you gag and choke and throw up more than anyone.
But I think you'll die.
I love that none of you motherfuckers managed to hold on to an apple for more
than two weeks, but he can hold fucking boba tea for six months.
You know what? I think I got an apple actually in my fridge right now.
I do. I got the apple might be like six months.
You know, to pull the apple out.
Yeah, that's a face apple.
Yeah, because that's a fucking piece of history right.
But that's OK.
It's not going deep in the.
The the boba, the slush has been blocking the apple,
which also needs to be removed.
And I just I've been ignoring it.
Let me see. I think the apple's not holding well.
So this episode is just you cleaning out your fridge.
That sounds like such a great supplemental.
And you just listing off.
He's just stood his fridge with a black trash bag.
Wow. It looks like is Andrew playing Assassin's Creed.
What is that? Valhalla.
Oh, there's a Ubisoft as to see what was the Ubisoft sale.
OK, here's your laptop on top of your desk.
Yeah. Above is on a stand.
What's under it?
We've talked about this.
The norm shell is underneath it.
Right. What on earth is all the schmutz all over your.
How do your keys work?
That's what you mean.
That's a wrinkled apple.
That's a messed up apple.
I'm more distracted by just the gum.
Oh, the bottom keyboard, the the bottom gum.
All of it is gum everywhere.
Unfortunately, the picture quality is too high. Yeah, I don't understand. I thought this was just dusted
What yeah like a week? That's that's your mom's cleaning job. I know
No, no, that's not his mom's cleaning job wait for the keyboard thing is that yeah? Oh?
Listen I've had food since then okay, and the problem is
Is I need to have the food on the laptop which is above that so it just there's the remnants fall
He needs to have food on the laptop
Because
You don't need to put food anywhere near that.
No, because you wanted to put it on the toilet next to him in the bathtub.
We already we already eliminated that.
We told him he can't do that anymore.
We told him he can't make hot dogs in his closet anymore.
Where's this poor boy going to eat?
Now we have established that I don't have a table, so I typically will eat at my desk,
but the big keyboard for the Mac I have, I can't put a plate on it and I have no surface
area to my left, so I use the top of my laptop as like a flat surface.
A, you're an animal.
B, what about all the shit that's behind it?
Like security or whatever that says.
Why don't you move some of that and just slide everything back a bit.
There's not enough room here.
Let me take a photo of the security.
I need like a wide.
I think all that stuff is, that seems like a load bearing DVD.
Those were Denzel Washington movies that you cannot get online.
Like John Q?
It is for Queen and Country, I think.
Okay.
Is that one?
Ew.
Yeah, and Ricochet are the...
Ricochet.
I remember that that was a movie.
Sean Lithgow's in it.
I'm excited to see it.
Very highly recommended by TPG.
Lithgow.
There you go.
So this is the side of the desk.
This feels like old f***ing place to me.
I love this.
Gavin has f***ing a lot of opinions here.
Okay.
Where am I putting a plate?
There's no plate room there.
Oh, is that the go XLR?
That is the go XLR.
Yeah.
Is it running and working and everything?
Oh, it's it's it's humming.
Look how new that thing is.
Look how old it looks.
It's because he's put it to use.
This is because he put it to work.
Nick, can I ask you a question?
Yeah, go for it.
Just out of personal curiosity. Sure. Have you a question? Go for it. Just a personal curiosity
Have you noticed an increase in audio quality since he got that because the Gavin was having so much trouble with his audio blown out
And gameplay videos I haven't noticed a difference so far
It's not bad
but
Just the same just the same
Maybe I'm not doing something right. Maybe I'll go maybe Gavin's just super picky. I'm pretty audio picky
I think you're audio picky. Yeah, and that's okay. Well. I feel like a so what video gives me a headache
What video the case of war when I edited oh
No, I didn't I didn't but I saw a lot of comments about it, so I did good. I believe you're a
What were the comments? I didn't see.
It was just mainly about my audio being terrible.

Speaking of comments, not to get away from Andrew's desk,
or the creative assortment of items
Just real quick
I gotta say when we all talked about seeing twisters the other day and with none of us liked it
I thought I assumed we were gonna catch some heat because I had a feeling it was gonna be a pretty popular movie and you know
What's his face is real popular right now and everything?
I was really surprised and heartened by the fact that pretty much the entire audience at a whole agreed with us and backed us up and nobody liked that movie.
Why take that Barbara Bedore anyway?
Is that what happened?
Yeah, anyway, maybe you were you were talking about your dust.
Oh, no, I wasn't dust exists.
No, it's the opposite of what happened.
Yeah. And a huge minority.
I think the people just sense the jealousy coming from you three that it is the box
office smash.
Well, I guess not the smash because it's dead.
He oversold it to me.
The box office smash.
Well, actually, in a traditional summer, it would be the smash, but it just got double smashed.
It much like twisters, a second one came in.
That's Deadpool. Wolverine.
I loved all the armchair analysis of how we're film snobs or we're film hipsters or we grew up in a time when we evaluated films.
We can't just understand and appreciate it for what it is.
Now, it just wasn't a very good movie.
Well, I was just comparing it to the first one.
As a standalone, I might feel differently, but...
The first one's a great movie.
I think everything that the people said was correct.
And that they should continue to see Twisters, because it's a great movie.
I'm tired of the excuse of, oh yeah, it wasn't very good, it was a summer blockbuster.
When there are so many out there that are good and
everyone like Deadpool and Wolverine ones, I guess.
Deadpool, Wolverine, big summer blockbuster, big summer blockbuster.
I haven't seen that movie, but everybody that has fucking speaks very glowingly
about it. I just I think I appreciate it more because it's been so long since
I've been in a rammed movie theater with everyone laughing so much.
It was just like, oh, I remember this.
You watch it. Was it you liked it?
Deadpool, yeah.
I mean, it's not not the deepest story, but it was very entertaining.
I thought you should see it again.
I see what kind of opinion changes.
I was thinking about seeing it with Millie before she goes off to college.
If she wants to. Oh, you should. Yeah.
I agree.
I saw a comment that I thought was so funny of imagine if I beat Gavin
in the movie league by like three million and the difference is
the Kevin Costner Wester.
What's going on?
If Horizon Part two, if that's the difference, it would be amazing.
I'm somehow hoping that it's so tight that my 15 remaining bucks
is what takes me through the finish line.
It is going to come down to alien.
If alien does worse, I projected in my head of being less popular than Covenant.
But that might not be the case.
And if it's not, that's that's a problem for me.
Hell, yeah. Well, I'm just amazed at how well those two movies did.
Deadpool like breaking box office records.
And then what was the the inside out to?
Holy shit. That's wild.
Yeah, that's such a fun thing.
Oh, and bad boys, too. Yeah.
It's been such a fun thing to watch.
And I really hope we do it every year because it just makes me appreciate
summer film releases in a way that I used to ignore them.
You know, I agree. I've been way more invested.
Yeah, I also it made me realize how disconnected I was from the summer releases
where I was like inside out to like who wants that?
Nobody wants that. And it's like by far the everybody.
Apparently everybody wanted it.
What if next time we do this, we take our winnings as currency for the next pick?
What do you mean?
So somehow I'm a major advantage and I have more points to spend
because I did better last year.
Yeah, that sucks.
You're yeah.
You are describing the opposite of how every game work, like every sport.
Yeah. You're like, what if the team that wins the championship
gets the first pick in the draft next year?
I mean, that works in sports, but when it comes to money, I
feel like you it's the opposite.
I think I like the idea a lot.
What do you mean, how?
What do you what do you mean?
What do I mean? How?
Like if I if my studio made the most profit, surely I'm
going to be buying up more movies
Yeah, and so where does the fun game? Yeah, so what is that? What so what what?
Every every summer we tune in to watch Gavin make more
Play monopoly he wants to be Monopoly.
He wants to be the Monopoly.
Gavin doesn't want to play Monopoly.
He wants to live in the real world, apparently.
I don't want to start with 98 points.
I want like 120 points.
Yeah.
And I want Nick to start with like 16.
No!
I think life is the problem.
Cause I like your idea a lot,
if like it didn't take one year essentially to do one of these
Because the premise of you
Absolutely futzing about with your movies and fucking up and going bankrupt is really funny to me
Absolutely, yeah, we should figure this out in a in a shorter format. That's such a good idea
But that is no like yeah
Because of like this format for this. That is eight years of life.
And that is just too much for that joke.
I like high stakes gaming.
I'm listen, I'm with you.
I'm I'm all the way.
And that's why people should see Deadpool and Wolverine and twisters
and fly me to the moon if it's still in your area.
People should see whatever movie they want to see, and they should
see actually fly me to the moon, whatever movie they want to enjoy, and they should actually fly into the movie, whatever movie they want to enjoy,
whether the regulation crew likes it or not.
And we don't just say, you know,
I need to pivot to movies talking about twisters.
One of America's great blockbusters of the year.
Last episode, I brought up the whole sheer thing,
and it was not felt.
You guys didn't know this at the time.
I have never been more embarrassed in the history of face
than after I made that statement.
How about in the history of regulation or regulation?
Yeah, that's true.
There's fewer episodes of that about him being a fetus in the first.
Yeah, but him being a fetus in the first.
I have never been more embarrassed in the history of this show.
That was more embarrassing than the Swiss army knife being made in Germany.
Way more embarrassing because I got got.
That was me just not that was me getting myself.
I got got and I knew what happened and I couldn't vocalize it at the time.
But it was it was like in a con movie
when the guy steals all your money and escapes and then they go, Oh, no.
Like they realize what happened.
That was me internally.
Every time you guys made a joke about that, it killed me at that time.
It's the most embarrassed I've been because I realized, Oh, he got me.
He got me so good.
He was absolutely because it was the tick tock I saw of it was him at a red carpet.
So it didn't feel like his content.
And it included a clip of a pregnant woman in the background of it.
It all felt so real.
But upon like any analysis of like actual one of those things, I just swiped through
and I went at Twisters probably came out like the 80s.
That feels right to me or twister.
And then when you guys brought up that it was a 90s movie
as like, oh, that son of a bit like I am.
He designed that as the joke and I stepped in that
just massively.
You you brimley did.
I brimley did so bad
and it made it so much worse knowing that that was it was a trap. It was someone he put down a brimley trap it so bad and it made it so much worse, knowing that that was, it was a trap.
It was someone, he put down a brimley trap and I stepped right in.
What a, what a very specific niche verb.
Even for us.
We keep hitting it though.
Brimley?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I share your pain dude.
I've been there.
Oh yeah I know.
I thought of, I was oh, fuck, Jeff.
Jeff knows what this is like. But oh, my God.
I had to make that phone call after the episode.
Oh, dumb I am. It sucks.
It is not even just being dumb. It's someone getting it.
He got me. Yeah. Yeah.
And it was one of those things where I assumed it was a viral tick tock.
It came up in my feed again later that day, and it had like seven thousand likes.
Like it was very small.
It was a small.
It wasn't wide.
I actually paid attention to it this time, and I was like, oh, this is just his account.
Oh, oh, it hurt.
It hurt.
That is really funny.
But what doesn't hurt is going to see twisters the American blockbuster
Go see Beetlejuice Beetlejuice
It's not gonna make a bit of fucking difference, but see it anyway the only movie
I don't want people to see is aliens covenant or whatever Romulus whatever the Romulus called teen aliens teen alien
Yeah, don't see that here. That's no good. I think it looks decent. I hear oh
Gavin I hear that horizon
Whatever the fuck it's called
Dawn part two is gonna show it can
Film festival which is not in the US, but maybe that'll drum up some excitement and no legal
No, I think you should go.
Yeah.
I've been before.
I'll probably stay back.
You've been to con?
Yeah.
Well, for what?
Some sort of YouTube thing.
Oh, they did a YouTube thing at Cannes?
Yeah.
I don't, that sounds, I don't...
Does that surprise you?
Jamie Oliver was there for some reason. Are you saying it both ways so you don't get got I don't does that surprise you Jamie all of it was that for some reason
Are you saying it both ways so you don't get got right now Andrew?
I'm trying to evaluate is what I'm trying to do because he said that in a way that was like
I just made that up, but he also just sounds like that sometimes
No, he's definitely been to can I remember when he went he's not lying about that
Okay, if you weird God, but you know what?
I'm I'm in my paranoid error right now is where I'm at you owe me 15 bucks. I just covered for you
That's a paranoid error. Yeah, no problem. Jamie Oliver was there. Is that what you said? Yeah do I know he does
No, why would he? He's not a YouTube guy
It's Jamie Oliver a YouTube guy Yeah Is Jamie Oliver a YouTube guy?
Yeah, he had a YouTube channel.
A lot of people have YouTube channels.
I have a YouTube channel. That doesn't mean anything.
Are you referring to the John Caviar channel?
I should have a John Caviar channel. No, I'm not. I don't have the range of that.
I was referring to the musician John Caviar.
No. Who hopefully we sent some some some traffic his way
That just proves that you met Jamie Oliver also. Jamie Oliver looks like he wants to kill both of you
He's really nice. I
Wasn't a headlock. You guys look like you're about to make out
You guys look like you're about to make out.
Look how jealous Dan is. Do the balls ever come through the glory hole?
Is it usually just the shaft?
I think it's just shaft, right?
Hey, so are you on like a weirdo run or what's happening?
Because last time it was the happy ending and this time it's this.
I'm just trying to get clarity.
I think it's just the shaft.
Right. I would think so just the shaft. Right.
I would think so, but I just don't know.
I'm wondering whether there's ever like a larger hole below the glory hole where
you can get a hand in and sort of nurse the balls a little bit.
I'm trying like if I was designing a glory hole, I think that's what I would do.
You would make a second hole for the balls, but then you'd have to like push the ball.
No, I wouldn't be thumbing the balls through the hole. I'd be it'd be a hand hole.
So you have like dick goes out hand goes in.
That makes way more sense. I like that. Yeah.
Yeah, I like that. Yeah, you don't care. Yeah, I like that. Yeah.
You should do that.
Yeah.
Because otherwise, imagining the glory hole situation, I just don't know if it'd be that enjoyable.
Man, could you imagine having a hold of some dude's wiener in one hand and his balls in the other,
and there's a wall between you?
He's really at your disposal at that point.
There's not much you can do at your disposal at that point.
There's not much he can do. There's not much you can do to get out of that situation.
You're kind of at the mercy of the other side of the glory hole there.
I think if I was using a glory hole, I would feel more vulnerable
if my balls were also through.
Yeah, because if you pull back too far, you might just like pop them right off.
They got to suck.
You make sure that I'm understanding your visual correctly. Are you saying you want the equivalent of like one of these?
but like hand holes
For the other side has anyone made one of those
We're like they shove their head in
Like you want the head holes but for hands
It's just like Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt Oh, that's terrific.
Is that what you meant for the hand holes?
Like you wanted those holes on the side of the mini hole?
Why would it be on the side?
I thought you wanted them to be able to reach through
Do you need, should I put a diagram?
I can start drawing
Please draw
Because I originally imagined just a bigger hole that the balls would go through
But then you said you wanted hands
So I thought maybe there'd be two arm holes
So the person could reach through
On the I don't know how to, I guess the suck inside two arm holes so the person could reach through on the.
I don't know how to.
I guess the suck inside.
I don't know how to say how do I differentiate inside?
I think the suck inside.
This the what the suck inside, because one side sucks.
The other stands.
What what's a more elegant way to describe the suck inside?
You got a suck side in the tickle side. Oh
The giver
I'm excited to see the diagram I'm also really excited to see which regulation listener can't wait
They're falling all over themselves right now to get on the subreddit
to write out their crazy story about how they put their balls
through a glory hole.
This is fucking insane.
I'm so excited.
Do we know a stunt dick?
Is the joke only works, Jeff, that you're still recovering over
if there is a dick through the hole?
I don't think any anybody here wants to put their dick
through the Tom Cruise hole.
I think we need a stunt dick.
I would absolutely put my dick through a Tom Cruise hole
so that Emily can take a photo of it.
Why would come on?
How would you not?
Oh, shit, I've messed up again.
I forgot that the canvas is so much bigger than the
It's so small it's very small I messed it up again, I
That's why I imagined
With just a really big hole. It's just a large glory hole. It looks like you're sticking your hand in a light socket I
Think you want the hole to be small.
I think I think you want the least amount of you
possible is the point, isn't it?
What do you mean the least? The what?
Isn't the whole point of the glory hole, the privacy, the the unknown?
Like, that's a huge hole.
I feel like that's revealing too much of the person.
Why it needs to be it needs to be large enough for a hand. Maybe it's too big in that
diagram, but I just want you to be able to see the hand.
Yeah, you just, you're just giving us the broad strokes.
Yeah. That's the uniform glory hole, I think.
But that's why I'm saying maybe you have two other holes.
Two holes.
So you've got the dick hole and then you
got the two hands on the side why do you
need both hands
well you just want one hand that that
doesn't if you're doing a good job on
the wiener you got your it looks like
you got your right hand on the shaft
and then your left hand down in the
hand hole your hands are both probably
used I think you want to keep you draw
it out for you hands on the balls are you like milk milk and I'm like fucking that letter so two holes two holes in the wall
What just I think it would feel weird to only be able to have one hand go through the wall
Hi
Disagree you think only one hand
Yeah, you probably want to use the other hand to like balance yourself. Maybe.
You're getting a dick slammed in your mouth way.
You got a hand through a hole in the darkness.
You just grab it onto who God knows what.
Probably a little disorienting.
That's a fair point.
I guess I was just I wasn't really thinking in the context of
To be to be fair. It was it was bold of me to try and revamp something
I have no experience with so it's probably not a good idea. I like your idea
But the more I think about glory holes in general it just seems like a lot of
It doesn't seem like a comfortable experience on either side of the hole
Yeah, I think I would be into it. What's the name of those?
Anyone here see the movie life the alien movie life
Ryan Reynolds
No, Jake Gyllenhaal. No one of those boxes that you have that
They put the alien in a box and it's got hand holes in it No, one of those boxes that you have that.
They put the alien in a box and it's got hand holes in it.
That's sort of what I'm envisioning, but I don't know what to call those boxes.
What's the point of the holes in that for the alien? The point is to keep the alien contained in the hand holes
or so the scientists can like interact with it.
Do they put the dicks in the hand holes?
I don't know.
Dicks go through contained.
I don't I don't even know it's.
Contained element, no.
Anyway, are you just talking about this?
Yeah, yes.
What are those called?
Like a lab box, a lab box.
Yeah, I didn't know. OK, glovebox? A lab box, yeah. Okay, glovebox, it said glovebox. Wait, I thought it was...
That's a glovebox?
I don't know why you're going...
I don't... you heard it wrong, you said it wrong, and now you're going to argue with
me that you're not...
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Not arguing.
I said like, from a lab at the same time.
I just...
I got the wires crossed, and when I hear Glovebox, I think of a car.
I don't think of that.
That's to be fair.
I said so would I.
We used to use those to sandblast stuff when I worked at the tool shop.
Right.
Yeah, it's just a box that has gloves.
It's a clue.
That's what I was picturing with what you were saying, Gavin, of the armholes through the sides.
Oh, and have a glove on.
I mean, you probably want to go.
Well, maybe you don't know.
Now, that glove is interesting.
I. There are a lot of questions that I don't I don't want to.
I think that me going down
and through this hole any further would be a mistake.
There are a lot more places we could go based on what you said.
But I think we just move on. Yeah, I think we call it.
Do you want to hear about some of my house?
Heck, yeah, I want to hear about your house.
Heck, yeah. Tell me about your house. Heck.

Oh boy, I guess I'll start with the smallest thing.
Uh, took a dump the other day.
I don't know about that game.
And I've been having a problem with, in my bog,
I've been having a problem with mosquitoes, um. I've been having a problem with mosquitoes flying around while I'm taking dumps, biting
me, biting my exposed skin and all that.
What?
What?
It's been a very bad mosquito year in Texas.
Fair enough.
Okay.
So I started, I was halfway through my two and before I sat down, I killed a mosquito
with a bug zapper
because I don't like slamming them because I get blood all over me.
So I have a little zapper in there for marking them.
What?
The guy, the guy that wants to innovate on the glory hole, doesn't like a little
bit of bug on him.
Well, I never used to think about glory hole. I was thinking about the glory hole guy. Doesn't like a little bit of bug on him Thinking about
Glory hole guy doesn't want a little
See the glory hole I don't know anything about your making glory holes. You're the glory hole guy. I can't evade
I just mean I used a glory hole. You know what would be a cool nickname
glory hole Gavin
It just kind of works right flows.
It's pretty long.
G H G glory hole Gavin.
G H G G hole.
G hole.
We call you G hole.
Sorry, continue.
It's just anyway, I had to.
Yeah, go ahead.
So I zapped a mozzie dead, dead as dicks.
And then I lent the bug zapper up against
the wall, and I'm about halfway through my dump, and suddenly an explosion, an absolute
bang, and the frickin' bug zapper exploded out of the battery holder.
Oh!
What?
It frickin' fi- look, I gotta. This is what my wall looks like now. It
filled the room with with like smoke and it spewed a bunch of black shit into the wall.
I have that exact same one. I got thrown away. It's hazardous. I used to. Yeah. And that's a picture of the battery, during my arse. And suddenly I'm
in a room filled with busted battery fumes. So immediately, before the smoke got to me,
I took a real deep breath and I tried to finish up before I had to breathe again. I was panic
wiping. I was absolutely annihilating my cornholehole trying to get it cleaned so I could get out of there before I had to breathe again.
Absolute nightmare. Probably one of the worst dumps in my life. So I've thrown that away. That was a haunted house problem one.
I don't know what to go with next.
Before we move on from that, can I just say that if you were ever gonna be surprised to the point of shitting yourself, you were in the ideal environment.
It's a real to say I shit myself already sitting on the toilet is a very low stakes statement.
I was in the right place. Second, a raccoon is taking baths in the pool every night.
Don't know what to do about that.
I was wondering if you were going to talk about that video you said.
Yeah, that's uh, just coming in, walking around in the pool, leaving.
That's uh, that's problem number one with the pool.
What's wrong with the raccoon going in the pool?
Why are we against rabies?
I don't know. Yeah, you're lucky.
Once again, the glory hole guy can't be telling me about any like in there, like
cleaning his balls and stuff.
Everybody's balls is getting clean in there.
Ball City in there.
I know it just feels a bit more dirty than a raccoon fur is, I don't know, minging.
Anyway, that's the easiest problem with the pool.
The second problem with the pool is that it's leaking, piece of shit.
It's draining out of the side while I'm waiting for the pool to be repaired.
While I'm waiting for it to be repaired, I have to keep topping it up because the pool
evaporates anyway.
So you have to put like
an hour of water in it every two weeks or something. But the fact that it's leaking
means it's doing it slightly faster. So I put the hose in the pool, set a timer for an hour.
I came back to see if it had topped up nicely. It hadn't. The hose had exploded off the side of the
the hose had exploded off the side of the thing. So the pool got about five minutes of water and then the ground got about 55. Just wasting water, just pissing water away. So I got annoyed,
I just turned off the water. I thought it's probably going to rain soon. I'll just leave
the pool. I think you have to keep it topped up because it's bad for the pumps if air gets in them. And if it drains too much, you get air in them.
Uh, about two days later, I took a look at the pool and it was, it was down by, instead of like
an inch, it was down by about a foot of water. And I was like, Oh my God, how big is this leak?
What's going on? I realized I never took the hose out of the water.
So because the water level is slightly higher than the hose, I've been the water been siphoning
out of the hose hole.
You drain your pool.
I drained my own pool for about two days.
I was like, oh my God, I've wasted even more water.
What the hell's happening?
And it didn't rain.
Dude, the raccoon is going to be so pissed at you. I've wasted even more water. What the hell's happening? And it didn't rain.
Dude, the raccoon is going to be so pissed at you.
The raccoon would be pissed because the little steppy pisses on,
washes on, is exposed to the air now.
Gotta get this fool in order.
He's not done, I bet.
No.
No, I wish I was done. This is probably something I can't show, but I can play the audio in the episode.
Let me share my screen here.
Okay, so it's night time.
10.30.
Yeah.
Wham! My freaking house just got EMPed or something.
All of my life.
What was that?
Half the street lights went off.
Fuck was that?
What was that?
My freaking air conditioner, which was just running minding his own business,
started making the loudest noise in the world.
The house was vibrating.
I was maybe jump out and all the lights went off and then it went
Happening now my AC makes that noise always when it comes on
Had it looked at yet no no yeah, no, yeah
I've got the fans on.
I didn't know it was...
Silly fans full blast.
Starting to get pretty warm.
First I thought my AC broke and like pulled so much power that all my lights went off
but then I noticed on the the footage that like half the street went off too, so I
Don't know what that was. I think I do. I think it solved this case for you.
Real easy. You got a classic over the hedge situation going on.
That raccoon was living its best life in your pool.
It was having fun with swimming is enjoying things.
You're fucking up the pool.
You're ruining it for him.
He said, you know what? Go fuck yourself.
I'm being your house. Yeah.
I'm biting into some cable.
Everything's ruined. He chewed some cables some cables oh Gavin just went live again I know is that for
oh is this it oh look at him right oh that's a guy who would chew on wires
dude that's a guy who would absolutely chew on wires that that's a wire chewing
dude right there that's a guy who's looking for an excuse to chew on wires.
Yeah, 100% I did.
Yep.
Like he walked out of the house this morning looking to take something personally.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to moving and not having the pool.
I don't know why so much effort to store water.
I think what's happened here is that Jeff sold his house.
He doesn't have a house anymore. He's a renter.
Which means that's not his problem.
I think that's what it is, because last time when my house started getting all crazy,
it was because Jeff's luck had gone.
It started to go better. But I think now that Jeff doesn't have.
Yeah. And the problems need to flow somewhere.
Are you done, or is there more?
That's it for now.
Oh, good. What about the fucking the seven billion nats in your front yard?
Oh, I even remember that I've moved my lawn, right.
And I just started leaving the clippings on the lawn.
Just thought I'd try that out because my bin is full of rotten grass.
And now there's probably without exaggeration, I just thought I'd try that out because my bin is full of rotten grass.
And now there's probably, without exaggeration, 500 million gnats hovering above the grass.
Oh my god.
And maybe like 20 things fly, like dragonfly-ish sort of shaped things trying to eat them.
So there's just a swarm of an absolute war zone above my yard.
I went to Gav's house to pick him up because I went to lunch the other day and I didn't
want to get out of my car.
I took one look at it and I was like, I can't.
When I was in the army, we went down to Panama and we had to camp on the Panama Canal, like
on the Panama River.
And it was like you couldn't you could like physically part the bugs through the air with
your hands. That's what it looked like. It looked like you couldn't you could like physically part the bugs through the air with your hands. That's what it looked like.
It looked like Panama.
It looked like 100 degrees, 100 percent humidity in the middle of a jungle.
It was wild.
I've Panama'd my frickin I miss my long guy.
You do?
The one you fired so that you could be a long guy?
Yeah.
Do you think you'll be a long guy next year?
I don't know.
But at the moment I can't mow it without a bunch of shit flying into my sunglasses.
And yeah, what is what are you going to do about it?
Like, what's the fix?
How do you remedy this?
Uh, I don't know.
Maybe try early morning.
It'd be like six a.m.
Mo kind of inconsiderate that I don't know when all that stuff starts getting out there.
Maybe try to flush them out with your pool water.
Divert the flood.
Maybe you should take up.
Maybe you should get like a blowtorch.
You just try to put them all at once. Yeah.
Oh, I like that.
It seems extreme.
We've seen those videos where like they put the stuff on the grass and they light it on fire and it's slow burns across
No, yeah
I'm wary of any device that kills bugs because I think it will turn on me
But I think maybe a flamethrower might if a flame yeah decides to explode. I don't
Yeah, I was gonna say your luck this last week or whatever. Maybe not so good also
You're no good with water, so I can't imagine fire is gonna be there for you. I'm also no good with flamethrowers. I don't know where mine is
That's true. That's true
What is that powder cult? What do you even can you buy that?
It's just cotton. What is that? I've never questioned what that is. I don't know. The lawn fire stuff.
I wouldn't want to, I mean, it's pretty dry.
Yeah.
It's a good looking yard.
It's a good looking lawn when there's not the 10 billion gnats above it.
Yeah.
There's a bit on the edge that's been unfortunately contaminated with quite a lot of chlorine
that's not doing so well, but other than that, it's pretty good.
Oh man, I feel like every year, every day, sorry, not every year,
I feel like every day I don't own a house, I get younger.
And now it's like I get to watch you guys all get older as I go the other direction.
This is great.
I have gone very gray since I've got this house.
Fuck a house, dude. I actually went by my old house today.
Didn't miss it at all.
Wasn't nostalgic or anything. Yeah, I rode my bike today.
I was going to talk. I have a little thing, but I'll talk about it in the next episode.
But I did that thing where a long time ago, right, I rode my bike and I just made observations
about the world from my bike, you know, and things I noticed on my bike.
I tried to do that today. Bingo. Super great.
But in the process, I went up to the old house for the first time in a couple of
well, since I moved, I hadn't ridden my bike over there.
And I was surprised. I didn't give a shit at all.
I didn't miss it. I didn't feel like a tug of nostalgia or it wasn't bittersweet or anything.
It was just like, yeah, it's weird how that how that works.
That's great.
I was hoping you you went to your house actively to say fuck that house.
No, no, I was it actually honestly, it looked really good.
The new owner has taken is taking good care of the yard.
I didn't expect him to.
And we've been blessed with some rain.
So I think that's helped, too.
But I was impressed that the house looked well kept and well taken care of.
I just was surprised that because I lived there
I was thinking about the way home. I lived there for over five years
God that's crazy seems so yeah my head like Millie went through half of middle school and all of high school out of that house
It was a long time in a life, you know, but it's weird how you can move and just
Flush all that did you fill the bean hole before you left?
I don't know. Flush all that.
Did you fill the bean hole before you left?
Yeah, I did.
And then I filled it a second and a third time because Albert dug it up.
We didn't need the jackhammer after.
No, we did not. We just needed the bulldog.
Should have left some beans in the house.
Who knows? Maybe I did.
Cast iron? Eric, how's your house doing uh?
Thought I had everything solved and then had one of my breakers fail again
so bad
Maybe maybe we both got EMPed yeah, I think that the I
Think the breaker that I have is just, I think it trips really easy.
Um, and I just need to get, I need to call like the lifetime warranty line and then have
them send me one and then have a guy come out and plug it all in.
So I don't plug it all in and have one backwards.
And then I guess I assume kill myself, but is it just the breaker for one circuit or
is it like a no, no, it's the whole, like it's the whole. Like the whole thing, I think needs to be a whole sub panel.
Yeah, yeah.
Like the whole sub panel needs to be like replaced.
I talked to an electrician that was in my neighborhood and.
He's familiar with the setup and he's like, oh yeah, that has like,
he essentially just came down to like these trip really easily.
A lot of times it's not an issue.
I've run into this here specifically where all these houses were
built at the same time and everything, and I just have to
have to make time to get a guy out here.
But I spent 10 hours at our studio yesterday and for 100%
eat, and I have not had time.
So trying.
It's fun. It's great.
Our EMPs, like they are presented in the movies and actual thing.
Has anyone ever actually been EMPed?
Is that we're talking about like things that happen in movies that just don't occur.
I feel like there are a million more EMPs and fiction than there are in real life
Well, it's a real thing. I definitely didn't happen to my house. I was being dramatic, but I yeah, I realize you can I understand
I'd post electromagnetism just weaponizing an EMP
So I think about it like in the context of movies. It's always so specific
But there has to be someone in the area who switched just side and they're just like they have nothing to do with anything.
Just a general the idea of like being collateral damage
to an EMP attack is really funny to me.
It would just be so annoying and unexplainable.
Do you think you would feel it?
That's what I was wondering.
I don't think I would.
Why would you feel it? I don't think so either, but I just it feels. I don't think I would. Why would you feel it?
I don't think so either, but I just it feels like, I don't know.
It like maybe you're one of those things up a little bit or something.
Yeah, like, I don't know.
Like you have a static. Yeah.
Like you feel it if you had a pacemaker.
But I'm talking about just like in general, like static electricity.
Yeah. Yeah. Like it's it's that kind of a thing.
Like how much does it really range if it's like really strong?
Whatever and then we'll get a bunch of comments people go. I can't believe they thought you could feel that look man I don't know what it sounds like. I don't know what it is. Maybe if it's strong enough. Yeah, that's actually
That's what I'm thinking. Feelin' my teeth, feelin' my bones.
I mean it was pretty fucking strong for what it did to your house and half your street. Yeah, why'd that raccoon do that?
Maybe it would feel like X-Men two.
What I don't.
I don't remember.
I'm not. I haven't seen that movie enough to just know what that means.
You don't remember how Magneto escaped his plastic prison?
No.
It was all the iron out of a guy.
Yeah. Yeah.
He makes he makes like a little pinball
I
Would think I would remember that that's awesome to me is like one of the most memorable parts to I definitely I definitely remember
That yeah, absolutely. I think I was probably terrified by it when I saw it. I remember nightcrawler
Remember thinking nightcrawler was real cool. X-Men 2. He was real cool.
And he's a great host on the Traders.
And he's invincible.
Oh, yeah. Oh, that's an EMP movie.
Golden Eye. Oh, yeah.
That's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Nuclear explosion in orbit.
You bring up a good point, Eric, of not not knowing what it sounds like.
Things that I think I know what they sound like, but only because movies told me
like I wonder, like I have an expectation of what an EMP should sound like.
But that is entirely informed by movies and movie sounds are like a guy
waving a tin roof into a fan like it's not.
Yeah, it's the scanning of a grocery item.
What or what else could possibly sound different?
There's gotta be some cool stuff out there that we go,
man, it sounds like that.
It's way cooler in person,
but I think most of the time,
everything sounds probably worse than in a movie.
I think so.
Yeah. I agree.
Hey, Gavin and I, Gavin and I did something.
You did?
We met up again. Yeah.
We met up again the day I saw the gnats.
We went and we had lunch together in a very public place,
because that's the only way to do something like this.
And then we finished, I'm happy to say, 100% finished our smut.
Oh dang! How did that go? How was that? Whoa.
Really fun. I think it went really well.
I don't think either of us remembered 80 percent of it.
So it was as if we were reading it for the first time, which was fun.
Yeah. Honest, like probably 90 percent.
I didn't read it. It's it's something.
It's something. It's about 10 pages.
Real solid single space.
You know, 10 pages.
We're not trying to get one over on the teacher here.
We didn't double space it. It's it's real long and
So are the wieners in the story and
Yeah, we're excited about I don't know what to do with it though now. I don't know I don't like I it's been so long
I don't know the best way to
Release this content into the world
Do we give it to the girls at the clutch my pearls podcast and then let them make an episode out of it? Do they even want to do that? Or do we do it over here for our audience?
Is there are there multiple pieces of content? Do we just put the ebook up and let people read it?
If they you know what I mean? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.
My thinking was that we should try and do both like give it to the Clutch My Pearls podcast if
they want to do something with it, but also have a supplemental for us where Eric reads it to the group.
I like that idea.
Yeah, I mean, I mean, I absolutely won't read it, but yeah, sure.
I think this is a good idea.
You won't read the smut?
No, I don't want to read it out loud.
Whenever I get an audiobook, I always enjoy it more when the author is...
Dude, yeah, the author knows the intent and knows what's supposed to be said each and every time.
Like, I don't know why you'd give it to someone else, man.
It just feels like something you guys.
They also can provide additional context like it.
I enjoy it more.
I mean, we could chime in, but it should be read by a third party.
Yeah, I think it should be read by a third party too, because you're getting to see their reaction as they discover it as the.
That's not how an audio book works.
An audio book. I don't care what their reaction is. This isn't an audio book.
This is a supplemental piece of content.
It's regulation supplemental.
I think if Eric or I or Nick were to do it,
we'd be so focused on that as opposed to reacting to it.
I think you want our surprise.
You want our full surprise.
You realize here, Andrew, we haven't asked you to read it.
We're just asking the other one to read it.
I think, but I think Andrew understands
what's happening here, and so.
I think he understands what's happening is that
if you are too intransigent, we're gonna move on to him
and he's trying to cut it off before we get there.
But I do agree with Gavin.
I do think it's more powerful if we don't read it
and someone else does.
I mean, I don't care if you agree with Gavin.
That doesn't matter.
I think it's important that the authors read their writing so that way we get the full intent to everything.
If we make an audiobook version, it will be performed by the authors.
Right, which is what the supplemental will be, is that we can do that and then we can
release it as an audiobook for everyone to listen to. What percentage of it is fucking?
Is there any like narrative?
I would say the first seven pages are story.
Great. That's great.
That's world building for sure.
A lot of world building.
You need to understand the motivations.
You need to understand why they're in the position that they're in
and the place that they're in. Then you need to understand the motivations you need to understand why they're in the position that they're in and the place that they're in
Then you need to understand what the stakes are because they are
galactic in scale
The galactic is a good teaser and who better to make me understand that than the authors of this piece is they give it the
gravitas it deserves
How many characters are there?
Why don't we just leave them, Jeff, with the the name and the.
The OK.
Hold on a second. Hold on a second.
Let me find the. Hold on.
Give me two seconds. VAMP.
This is why this is why the like the authors can't read it
I'd stick you know the strawberry drink still really good VAMP
That's our pen name
Yep, I like you know what that looks more professional than I was expecting. Yeah, I think it's a great
Vulgar no no it's yeah, it it does read to me
It looks like a book I would grab in Starfield
Does look like Starfield?
It you know it might feel a little bit like Starfield if that's your thing
Yeah It uh, you know, it might feel a little bit like Starfield if that's your thing Yeah
I'll say I'll tell you this right now. It has more aliens than Starfield does
If you put into your browser does it lead to our patreon I
Don't think so, but it would be awesome if it did. I mean, we could get a domain and really to the book.
Have you considered sending this book to any short story
type festivals?
Oh, for publication or to get it like
reviewed, see where it places, maybe an award.
I'm not opposed to it.
You probably get this thing a signal award.
It's a wholly original work of fiction that Gavin and I created
from the ground up together under the moniker.
This is completely and totally from our minds and own.
So I, you know, I feel pretty good about.
Putting it out there and seeing how other people feel about it
is they don't is it award worthy? Maybe.
Last question, which probably wrap up after this. But Gavin, did you have your you're wondering your question
about glory holes before or after you wrote?
Oh, wow.
But you know, maybe I had a lot of stuff on the mind.
That's what I'm wondering.
And it took me down a path subconsciously.
Yeah, you might be on to something there. Because I did think about this after I hung out with Jeff.
Are there any glory holes in the book? I mean, I don't want to split. No, just for the record,
I want to set expectations. There are no glory holes in this sex scene there are no artificial barriers to the sex they get they want to
experience each other and well everybody in the full regalia of the moment.
Yeah I don't know why my mind is in the gutter for this era but I think it's mostly out of
my system now.
I just had a couple of questions about happy endings and glory holes and that's about it.
Until we win a Pulitzer and have to make a sequel.
Last question.
Unrelated to this, going back to the glory hole,
wrap up this episode, the premise of the stand,
the cutout that you put your dick through the Tom Cruise hole.
Yeah, the crucial.
Do you think the larger the character, the less impressive your dick would look?
Yes. So what if like you did like a ver.
What if there's a scale to test this like it's progressively larger bodies?
Yeah, like on a dinklage, I'm looking good on like Victor women.
Yama, it's I'm comical.
As I was wondering about this, just as an aside, does height
correlate to dick size?
Like, do that does are they related in any way?
I would assume.
So I would think to an extent, right?
But I have no idea.
I just have no clue.
But I remember Steve,
Stephen Murchin talking about his penis because he gets asked a lot
if it's in proportion and his response typically is that he feels like he's been slightly short
changed.
Yeah, I mean, I've spent a lot my entire life listening to six foot five inch tall Howard
Stern talk about how his penis looks like Robin's egg in a bird's nest.
So yeah, maybe doesn't. Robin's egg in a bird's nest so Yeah
Maybe doesn't I don't know
Find out next time on regulation podcast
We went so long Andrew ended it. I love it. We'll see you guys next week. We got two of them
