My name is Jeff Ramsey with me, as always, Andrew Pinton, Gavin Free, Nick Schwartz, Eric Badour.

I have missed you all been a couple of weeks. To the audience is nothing, but to us. Oh, God, it's been so hard too. We've talked about, we've talked about the FOMO of missing out on work recordings, you know, and you guys have been prolific since I've been gone. Like every once in a while I'll hop on your Discord and I'll be like, oh, you guys recorded seven heists That's cool. He's recorded a whole new show that looks really fun. That's that sounds awesome

Meanwhile I've been fucking coughing up a lung somewhere What did I miss well you missed something that I You sent me a recording piece of equipment, Jeff. Yeah. And it has created a new problem that has displayed itself for the first time when we were recording recording piece of equipment. Yeah. Is that not correct? That's just very vague. I'm trying to imagine what it would be. It's a go XLR. Go XLR, I say.

Yeah, the go XLR. I just I don't know, it's a recording piece of equipment. I didn't know we had to get into specifics. I didn't know we were getting into the technical terms on everything here. I think you nailed it. But it caused a new problem where with the GoXLR, I can hear myself now in my headphones, and I realized we're playing something. Gavin and I got into a playful debate, an argument about something. And I was yelling at Gavin. And because I could hear myself through my own ears,

I couldn't hear him when he started yelling at me halfway through. And I didn't want to stop finishing my point, but I needed to also communicate that I couldn't hear Gavin and I couldn't process why is the first time this has happened within the moment through the yelling. And so just turned into me saying, I can't hear you. I'm talking over you. I can't hear you. It was like I was a little kid doing like the nanana, but I literally couldn't hear Gavin over my own yelling. I was interrupting my ears and being able to hear his counterpoint.

Until now, at no point have you heard your own... No. Huh. Well, that explains why you never know if you're loud or quiet. Oh yeah. Yeah. Well now I can. Uh, initially I hated it.

It hasn't fixed it. He still doesn't know when he's loud or quiet. You have to ask him to turn it up all the time. My dog was about to crank it all the way, but I didn't. What was the argument about? Uh, what was it? You were we finished a heist and we needed Lester to call. And so I loaded.

I thought we could do a fun activity to try to initiate it. And you just were not happy about that. We were doing this activity and you were suggesting stuff He just kept saying why are we doing this? What is this? Why are we doing this? Over is so much. It was so great It's the longest mission. We had to drive across the whole map twice It was awful. I can't handle I Longest mission we had to drive across the whole map twice I can't handle I Can't handle I can't handle Andrew being in charge of anything. It's it's mental No, the decision you make absolutely insane. No, I was a valid decision

Gavin had a fix of we should do a gang war and then I said, okay, where's the gang war and he said, oh the gang attacks on just Right, but you've seen that that says that that's his usual solution where it is like I'm helping you your audios bad I'm helping you Yes. Yeah, but a lot of the time it's like hey, why didn't you put it on hard again? It's on easy still and that I don't have a solution. That I agree with you with. Restart the whole thing. I don't have a solution. You bulls**t. You're right. Jeff, there are so many times where we start a mission and we have the lives and we go, did he f**king, is it on normal? And we're like, put it on hard. And Andrew went, yeah, I gotta do that.

Yeah, you're right. That's it. And he just goes, yep, I'm accountable on that one. That was we're recording. I was sleepy. It was the first thing we recorded that day. I forgot to flip it. That was a mistake by me. But it was hard the rest of the way. That's not a great combination of words, but it was. I nailed it every other point, but I did screw up that first one.

There's been quite a lot of stuff has happened between. Not only have we released our smut, but I won a draft for the first time. You did. Congratulations. Very excited about that. Violence or whatever. What draft did you win? I won the summer activities.

Oh, the summer draft. Congratulations. You won the summer activities with, what was it? With popping a hydrant is violent crime I think you have to pop a hydrant to celebrate your win bunting. Was that one of your things? That was what that was an honorable mention Dude, I was in like I said in middle America this summer a lot and there's so much bunting dude Michigan has Michigan and Illinois have so much bunting. I thought about you constantly That's great. I love to see a bit of bunting. I will say, though, I do have to make a formal apology.

I was complaining at the beginning of that draft, which some patron, I think it's a is it an extra medium or a bog standard draft? And I'm not sure of the time. It's one of those. But I made it. I kicked them a fuss about how we record Eric's screen and I wanted him to get nitro. So it recorded a higher resolution version of it. I kicked him a fuss about how we record Eric's screen and I wanted him to get nitro so it recorded a higher resolution version of it. Just so it's bigger on the screen and you know, we can crop in and all that.

But then Nick decided, you know what, forget that. I'll just record it myself. And then didn't crop it at all. It's absolutely tiny. If your phone is in that orientation, you can't read shit invalidating the whole process. Why did he say oh? Because he just realized.

I get it now. You can crop. It takes up like 40% of the screen. Maybe less. What? Well, since then, I've learned. So disagree. Was the issue that he was recording his own perspective and not Eric's taking advantage of it or just the lack of crop to recording his own perspective is that it doesn't need to be streamed at any resolution. It's his native screen size capture. But he's not right.

And sometimes he says, I'm going to do that. And then what happens? He decides, I'm not going to do that, but no one is informed. And so the screen changes and now it's an issue. You found out. Yeah. Nick started quiet quitting on his recordings. Even better than cropping. You could just do like a control scroll wheel and make it big

Yeah, yeah, that would have been a good idea. All right. Yeah, so this is Jeff This is what it sounded like when we kept telling Andrew he needs to put it on hard. It was just a guy Agreeing with us and we couldn't like there's nothing you can do about it. You just can't go in Okay, cool. There are times where you fuck up and it's just like there's no point arguing.'re right. Like everything you're saying is correct. I should have put it on hard. I was wrong. I intended to Speaking of of arguing can I it was sort of brought up just a second ago the smut came out and Clutch my pearls did a great review of both of you looking like fucking goons on this couch And then I had to drop it on your faces to help my office

Okay, two-time authors. Okay, cool. All right, so you are the authors. That's great cuz I need to speak to you about a character Global X No, there's a character that is It's a bad that is. It's a Bedouin. No, no, no. See, Gavin, I knew this was going to fucking happen. We talked about this to your small wife and it's we worked backwards from the language. We developed the language and we translated it back to English.

And it's just how it came out. It's completely out of our control. You're saying it wrong. First of all, that's it's pronounced uh-huh and how is it pronounced? But Gavin can say it better than I can. The bowdowrian. Bowdowrian It's nothing like what kind of alien creature is it? Like a little cum slurping gremlin rat Yeah, it's uh-huh. It's it's so you can read right here. Do not be afraid do not be repulsed It is merely a bow a dowry in an alien come cleaner They give them as a dirty little parasite a necessary evil he cleans for us

He is of no danger to you for he is weak and come addicted The bow a dowry is yeah that reminds me, we recorded another Ratatouille part as well. That was fun. We did. We made Jeff Watches play Ratatouille for an hour and more than more than half of it is Andrew on one level trying to jump on bread.

It's so bad. It's so fun. Anyway, I was in Austin for 36 hours and that's what I got to do. We we debuted ourUT, which is called Celestial Glorbosis of Peace and Poimels. We debuted it on the Clutch My Pearls podcast and it got more views than our own podcast. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know if I like that. I'm not happy about it. It is number four in science fiction erotica on Kindle Unlimited. Jeff said, congratulations were number one. And we said, wow, you're number one. And he said, no.

I misspoke. I can't tell you how uncomfortable I was in that recording. For some reason. I can see. I can see how uncomfortable you were. Well, A, I was trying not to make too much noise, but I was cracking up. And also I was just dealing with all the embarrassment of having all this stuff read back to us to the point where I got heartburn and my chest was hurting and I felt ill for like two hours afterwards. And then you can see me experience some of the worst embarrassment I've ever felt when I go into this big spiel about, you know, it all started with the poimels. And as

soon as I say it, I realized we forgot to write about the poimels. We take it out. We've, I don't know what happened to it. Like whether we just cut it or we forgot to write it. But now I feel that was the core of the whole story. and then I'm spewing on like it, and then they're like, wait, what was that? And I was like, oh my God, we forgot it. And I just die of embarrassment. Did you just do a word replacement for poimels and you missed the one at the very front

because it had a space between the P and the oimels? No, that's just a weird formatting thing. We decided to keep that because we like it. Oh, okay, cool. But no, I think what happened is in the initial, we wrote this in two sessions, once in New York City and then once in Austin. And in the New York City session,

we wrote in the Poymel thing. And somehow it just didn't make it from New York back to Austin. I don't know. And then we just missed it. There was so much else to focus on. There's so much, there's just, there's a lot going on in the story that we just missed it. There was so much else to focus on. There's so much, there's just, there's a lot going on in the story that we just missed it.

But I think that's great. It adds to the mystique because, you know, based on how successful this thing is, based on how much demand there is for it, we clearly have to revisit the universe in some fashion and dive into the poimels. I will say, I saw something that I thought was fucking brilliant somebody took

Andrew's hot dog ladder that he created and cut it in half Do you see that on the subreddit and drew it and then said it look made if you cut the if you cut it in Half and just use half hot dogs on the top It looks like the hot dog has poimels and I got to thinking maybe there's something there Like maybe we design a poimel hot dog. I don't want to be in poimels I'll be Frank's you might am I understanding is they don't really exist in whatever you wrote so they do You know I've been alluded to uh-huh. Oh cool. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, there's like a lot of subtext in this thing I guess oh for sure Kind of like Jace Hammercock is the author, our pin name,

but it also exists in the universe as a as a character. You really excuse the phrase. You you blew your load so early on this thing where you the line that I included here, her boobs were the size of large boobs, the biggest kind. It's the funniest line ever written. It's not strong. Thank you very much. I'm very proud of that. Oh, wow.

I just love the idea of reading a novel and it not making any sense because the author forgot like some plots that they were establishing because they wrote in chunks. So I can't believe how embarrassed I got when I. Oh, I can believe it. I realize in the moment that we just forgot that you can. You can go watch it. You should go watch Clutch My Pearls.

You can listen to the podcast, but the video version of that has Jeff and Gavin on screen the whole time. And Gavin is squirming, squirming. Jeff is like laughing so much of it like he's reveling in it. Gavin is squirming. Squirming. Jeff is like laughing so much of it. Like he's reveling in it. Gavin is squirming. Oh, I was so, everybody else is so uncomfortable and I am so exceptionally comfortable. I like that you're mostly just mouthing along as the... I'm like Will Smith in Freshman's of Bel Air.

They also had to massively crop our shot because I accidentally, I guess we recorded portrait, but I had my legs crossed in a way that it was like mainly aimed at my undercarriage. Like you can see my pasty pale underlap where my breakfast is almost hanging out. My wife came to me and went, what am I supposed to do with this footage? And then I went, what do you mean? She's like, I need them to be on screen, but I don't know how to make this work. And she showed me your raw footage and I went, oh, what the fuck it is. It's like looking at Gavin's ass from the, like, from the front. Like, it's so fucking weird. It's so weird. It's oh boy. I think it affected the auto exposure.

Like the ring light was just blasting off my pasty underling and it just changed the exposure of the whole frame. Well, if you're interested in our smut, you can go listen to the review on the Clutch My Pearls podcast or you can watch the review on their YouTube channel. If you wanna read it for yourself, clearly you can do that. It is free, I made it free on Amazon, Kindle Unlimited, whatever the fuck that is, but if you don't have that,

then you do have to pay $2.99 for it, which is as cheap as it would legally let me make it. So we tried to reduce the barrier to entry as much as possible. But if you liked it and you want to write a review or if you disliked it and want to write a review, we appreciate your honesty and your feedback. You can help us get to number three on the list of most popular sci fi erotica. Yeah, we can get to number one, which is number three. Eric, how did you find out about the Bauer Daurian?

God, I wanted it to be out of your mouth when you read it. That was really close. That was really close to not being how you said it the first time. But that's OK. I saw I saw the post on the subreddit and had a feeling that there was something that was up, wasn't sure what it was, and then quickly learned about all of that. So pretty cool. Pretty cool. I think it's interesting that you that you choose to identify with an animal

described as a little with that has my full name spelled in it. Yeah. Harry, we'll be the eyes a jagged in it. The opposite of gorgeous and statuesque beauty of the Glebulians. Yeah. I don't think of you in that way at all. Yeah. When you change Gavileena's spelling, was that on purpose or on accident? Wait, where? We'll never tell. Geniuses, literary geniuses. The two responses, the two responses of one guy not knowing where it's at and the other guy going

oh fuck, I'll never tell that's our little secret maybe there's a reason for it there's a lot of subtext, a lot of easter eggs a lot of fun stuff in this story a lot of fan service if you will I'm curious if there are any other authors who started with a cookbook and then went into smut for their second writing I mean isn't that what that court of thorns thing is? authors who started with a cookbook and then went into smut for their second writing.

I mean, isn't that what that court of thorns thing is? Didn't she like start writing a teenage book and then by the fourth book she discovered sex and just became porn. Yeah, but I think cookbook is a completely different. That's an odd transition from cookbook to smut. I think I'm most proud of working in the. The Swiss Army knife from Germany into the story. I'm excited to read it. I haven't read it yet. And you haven't read it, Nick. Have you read it?

No, I haven't. Oh, wow. And they're not going to fucking read it, dude. That's like nobody was going to read Heather's book in Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, even though they all go to the parties and drink the free wine. That do the readings, but they're not paying attention. I was about to say that you posted a photo Jeff. Is this the poimel dog? Yeah, that's somebody said Andrew unintentionally created the poimel dog and so he drew it I will say I was against it at first that looks like a steamboat to me

I'm kind of all about it a steamboat dog. It's like it's a hot dog with three halves attached to the top. Would that not be better with mini buns on the Oh, Gavin, like little life jackets. Yeah, life jackets. I like that a lot. I do too. If I eat that dog, if I make and eat that dog, if I eat in four dogs.

No, we've gone over this. This would by letter of the law, that would be one dog. Okay. Even if they were in the individual mini bun Situation hot dog. I think I think it would I think you're making like a Voltron Yeah, yeah, that just becomes something other than a hot dog at that point. You know, that's fair becomes What is it? Poimel yeah, it's gonna say porpoise, but I know that that's not

A po- a. Poimle. Yeah, it's going to say porpoise, but I know that that's not a point. Poimles and porpoises are nothing in common. No, nothing like. I'd like to have a blow holes. Yeah, they both got blow holes. Kind of. Off to read the secret. The secretion comes from somewhere. I don't like secretion is just not a great word.

Not a fan. If we were going to do a draft of least appealing words, secretion. I was just not a great word, not a fan. If we were going to do a draft of least appealing words, secretion to me is on the board. All right. That'd be a good draft. That is a good draft. I feel like people would be racing towards moist, but I think moist is a lot less bad than people make out. Secretion is so much worse than moist. Oh, I think moist is about as bad as it gets.

Really? No, because moist moist. There are other contexts for it. Moist I think moist is about as bad as it gets really no moist Moist there are other contexts for it Secretion is never good moist is how you it's as how jock itch starts I feel like moist isn't as bad as like pustule. Oh It was pretty fucking gross that would be on my list I think Pustule well there you go Gross. That would be on my list, I think. Postual. Well, there you go. Well, we blinked and summertime is over.

Do you wanna hear my idea that's gonna annoy Eric? Yeah, I'd love to. I wasn't sure if you did a little trick by like blaming Nick. I thought we were going into Eric territory earlier. Yeah, good trick. It might not annoy you, you might be into this idea. Okay. Okay. Is it a me as we?

I was thinking about how amazing it was when we played Pico Park and how Eric was getting all annoyed playing Pico Park. And then, you know, the second one's coming out. And I was thinking of ways or is out. I was thinking of ways we can involve the community. And I thought, what if we put eight community members in Pico Park, but they can't talk to each other.

They can only talk to Eric and Eric has to just organize. I don't want to talk to them. Can they just listen to me? No, because they need to hear their feedback too. Why would I want their feedback? Because I'm not in you're leading them. I'm not in a company with them. Someone might have an issue with what you're asking them to do.

They might not be able to do it. They might need to have a word. And then you managing them all the way through a level, I think would be just brilliant content. I think that has to be like the reverse Patreon where we pay them to go through that experience. You need to pay me to go through this experience. What are you talking about? What do you think? This is ridiculous. I love it. What? So so I have to play it with them? No, you're not even in it. You're just managing. Oh, the go between. This is even worse. They

can't talk to each other. It's better for you because you're not playing So you want me to coach? What they should do? Yeah, but just coach you're not a player coach. You're not you know, you're not Charlie Hustle here You're just you're just coaching. I think if you're in the game It's too easy to say look at what I'm doing do this sort of thing Yeah, and we would follow why. Certainly we wouldn't want that. Yeah. I think they could figure it out.

I don't think they would need Eric's coaching. Now, here's the thing. This might have to be a falcon to your thing, because there has to be a barrier of entry to this, because if we just grab anyone, I will fucking flip. What do you mean by anyone? Like somebody who doesn't know us? No, no. Like anyone who just comes in, they're like, I'm going to do it. I don't trust them.

I don't trust people that are just going to jump on it. This has to be like Falcons and above or something. This is insane. This is so crazy. This is insane. Ideally, it would be eight people who have never played the game. Oh my God. Could we like provide them free copies of the game?

Oh yeah, we should do that. Yeah. So they don't have to buy it or anything. Sign up to be a Falcon, I guess, because we're going to figure something out. This is this is the there. Oh no, please don't do this before I get back in town. I promise I won't leave town again after this last trip. All right. But if you do leave town again, that's when we're doing it.

I don't want to miss it. I don't. Oh, man, I don't know. This might be my Gavin's Clutch by Pearls experience for me. I don't think I'd want to be there. I think I'd find it so uncomfortable. I think this is what I'd want to hear about later. I don't think I'd want to be there. I think I'd find it so uncomfortable. I think this is what I'd want to hear about later. I'd want to watch it later. I agree with you, Andrew. I also don't want to be there. Well, then you better lead them through quickly so you can be over fast.

What if Gavin had a team and Eric had a team and it was like a race? Now we're thinking. Andrew, we're starting to put some stuff together. This is pretty good. I think we both are coaches. Yeah. Very interesting. Very interesting. Gavin, thoughts?

And then we can just time the runs. What if Andrew has to coach everyone as well? I don't mind. No, I think Andrew is already involved in the community so much. I just don't think, you know, that's fine. I think me and you two teams of four, we kind of like figure this thing out. Like, what if we had like competing teams on the same game? Here's the thing with me, my team would quit on me.

So I'm fine with it. I'd be chill. You're like, they'd be the frustrated ones. I just like, I got to do this. So I'm not worried about it. I just chill. I relax. They'd be the frustrated ones. I just like I get to do this So I'm not worried about it. I'd love to do it if you want me part of it I'm all for it, but I think I mean I was just hoping it'd be like one of the live streams I know that seems like a terrible like well Yeah, I mean if yeah if you want to do that on one of the live streams Gavin Let's do it mean you buddy. No you can't yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, no we know teams before we get like

Out oh, yeah, no, I think we can definitely do this dude. Yeah, me and you. This definitely, uh, this definitely got more intriguing. Yeah, right? Definitely. I didn't expect that to, I didn't expect that to turn back. I didn't either, but I'm so glad that it did. What a f*** face. It's like when you threw, it's like when we threw that cup of water into the wind we were on the boat in Australia, and it was right back in*** face. It's like when you threw, it's like when we threw that cup of water into the wind, we were on the boat in Australia and it was right back in our face. I really, I feel like Pika Park wouldn't be that bad for at least the earlier levels. Trying to do something like that with like Tetris. Yeah.

Or like Towerfall. Trying to like explain, well that, no that would be different. That'd be inferior. Falcons play Pokemonate Falcons play Pokemon I think you a lot of the Falcons do play Pokemon if we surveyed the Falcons I bet you it's probably like 70% of play. I think there's an idea here I think I think we need to investigate how we can best do this But Gavin what great thinking and what even better thinking from Andrew. This is fantastic. Oh this. But Gavin, what great thinking and what even better thinking from Andrew.

This is fantastic. Oh, thanks. Welcome. Oh, I have I have something for you, buddy. Your your gift came in from the recording that I did with you and Andrew. Oh, remember, what was that? We had we had that was it a gears video? I can't spoil it, though, can we? Oh, I don't know how to talk about it. Oh, I get. Yeah, that's that's upcoming. Oh, I guess we just how to talk about it. Oh, I get yeah, that's that's upcoming

oh, I guess we just won't talk about them. Well, anyway, I need to get it to you and Congratulations on being a good little boy and you got it and Andrew already got his I was able to send it to him and I'll had so much fun doing it that I've decided that that's gonna be a part of Regulation now that I will use to motivate all members of the company at various points in the future. And I think it'll the effects thus far have been stellar. And so I want to keep I want to keep rolling with it. So to give I guess Eric and Nick some context for keeping it very vague. We did something and Jeff said, if we complete this thing and this attempt, then you guys will get vinyls.

And then Gavin and I did it. And then it was followed by Jeff frustratingly being like, how the fuck did you guys do it on that run? God damn it. What am I going to get? Everything is so expensive. It was like the thirty six attempt. And so I was like, fuck it. I'll buy you guys both LPs, since you both are talking, we were talking about records. And they fucking, I was like, if you do it on this attempt

and they did it, so then I had to go buy them fucking records. Records cost a lot of money, I didn't realize, I mean, I've been buying them used for a while, I didn't realize how much new records cost. So it was an expensive proposition, but it clearly motivated them to succeed. And I got me thinking about how many records are out there that I could acquire, that I could use as bargaining chips

going forward to get you guys to do things. They can be like gold stars on a board, you know, we work towards the pizza party. You found a positive reinforcement works. Yeah, yeah, I'm yeah. On incentives, it's a slippery slope. And be careful with incentives don't always work. They backfire off.

When do they backfire? Oh, I think like typically people will find exploits to get the thing as quickly as possible. Andrew's Andrew's trying to think it through to see how he can get the most out of this and going, Jeff, you better be careful with all these people. I think he just means himself. Yeah. Yeah. Gotcha. I think of all the members of this company, Eric is the hardest to incentivize.

Well, I just want it to if it's if it's like for content and something strong that does not hurt me mentally or physically. I'm pretty for it. I know how to get another way to Eric's heart. You just got to be like, Eric, if you do it on this attempt, single origin coffee. I'm like, I'm fucking done. So the fucking bag of Barrett's at him. They'll get any of the bag of Barrett's Throw a bag of parrots at the Bedorian.

Great, thanks man. First off, that's the Baladaurean I think is who you're referring to, and that is not you. I wish you would stop trying to hone in on that. Like it was different universes. When you wrote it, did you have to look up how to spell my

name so that way it was right, or did you get it on the first try? I'll never tell I Will say I didn't just get a vinyl from you Jeff for my birthday you and Emily sent me a wonderful bouquet of flowers And some chocolate and it came with a balloon and that balloon has become the pinnacle of my entertainment Since my birthday. I just posted a photo of it. It.

It's been inhaled. It has been drifting around the bedroom ever since I got it. And it's just a game of like the DVD screen of it bouncing around the corners, just with the fans I have in the room and air conditioning it slides all over the place and it is a delight to watch I have spent an embarrassingly long amount of time laying in bed just Watching the balloon drift from area to area of the roof. It's a great time. That's where it's currently located I'm so glad that you've got so much use out of it. That's better than I could have ever expected.

It's brought a lot of entertainment. I've had to cut part of the plastic from it below because it's the weight is pulling it down. I've had to modify it to keep it going. But I'm having a great time with this balloon that's floating around. I'd highly recommend adding a helium balloon to your workspace if you can. Extract maximum value out of the thing, that's awesome. Yeah, oh, it's for the amount, like dollars of entertainment. Can I send you guys a picture of something I saw?

Please. When I was in my travels, I was in Chicago for a little bit, and one of the days I was there, I had nothing to do, and so I rented an e-bikebike and I decided I'd just ride my bike up and down Lake Shore Boulevard, I guess like what the where the beach in Lake Michigan is like on the edge of Chicago and Which was a lot of riding over about 40 miles, but as I was riding by I ran across this Which oh my god coolest things I've ever seen. This is what motherfuckers in Chicago do for fun.

They just carried out this heavy ass, six foot tall vert ramp, and they had a couple of little old BMXs, and they were just jumping BMXs into Lake Michigan. And then the person in the water would just like hold on to the BMX, They would throw a rope to them. They would hook it on the bike and they would drag it back in. And then somebody else would jump it.

And they were just doing that all Saturday. I was like Tuesday, all Tuesday long. And I rode by and when I came back by, like maybe three hours later, they just were all carrying the fucking heavy ass ramp to their truck to drive away. It was just their fucking morning. So you're telling me after over a decade of play GTA and you were on a bike, you didn't think I'm going to hit that, dude.

I was on a fucking Uber e-bike that weighed about 200 pounds. I did think briefly of like stopping. I stopped to take the photo and then I felt awkward, but I did think briefly about stopping and going over there and being like, let me, let me get a, let me get a run, but I'm like a 49 year old dude People that all clearly know each other that are doing something that they're constantly doing you know I'm not gonna invite myself to their party so I decided to enjoy from the distance But but I was like this these are my kind of people like this is what I want to I want to get in on this

This is what I want to be involved in you know imagining you Walking up to being like, hey, listen, I know a thing or two about bike jumps. Give me that fucking dude. I guarantee you I could do some fun shit off that. Are you kidding? Oh, I could do a front flip off that, I think. Oh, yeah. Do you think what do you think the vertness though makes it harder to get it? I'd be worried. I'd just go straight up. Yeah, you're going to go very up. It's pretty easy to like lean over the handlebars to get in the water, I think. Yeah, you're not going to get very deep for sure.

You're not going to go out far. It's you get more height than distance. Can you believe this wasn't on any of our summer activities list? Oh, it's the only activity on my summer activities list going forward now. And I just was like, I bet this is just like, dude, just do this all day long in fucking Chicago. I want a cool place. You framed it very satisfyingly with the the ramp, like leading up to that building.

Totally unintentional. I just just hold my bike with one hand and trying to take a photo without looking like an idiot with my other. It looks like if I tried to make a trials level, like I figure out enough to put one ramp down and get frustrated and save and quit. Like someone just experimenting with the level maker, get bored immediately. Dude, I thought I had fun on a bike. I am I am I'm missing out.

Well, have you considered being a ramp guy? Yeah, of course. You could just get a ramp and then just like drive and put ramp. It'd be fun to get a ramp and just put it down somewhere and see what happens. I mean, the culvert had a little ramp, didn't it? Yeah, I need to be a ramp in the water guy. I'm looking for that water landing. I don't need the 49 years of old body compressing with the with the force of the gravity.

Maybe that's the next bike stunt. I like that. I like that. I can be can we find a spot in the in Lady Bird Lake that isn't full of algae that will eat your brain? Mm hmm. We can find a spot. And there's water. There's a there's other water in Texas. We'll find some. I wonder if you got that ramp, put it down somewhere and then just observed

How long would take to see someone use it how long it would take for you to get sued? Is that would I get sued for doing that Suddenly, it's like whose fucking ramp is this my kid broke his arm and you're like What if we know what the ramp there and then like every 10 meters leading back from the ramp is just the same waiver. Yeah. So funny. These guys weren't signing waivers or anything. It was wild. I guess they signed them before they got there. You have to like drive it through paint and that's the NDA. the tread tread leading to the ramp. You sign with your tire on the way up to the ramp. That's great.

That's how it's like how we autograph baseballs. Anyway, I thought we got up to some fun stuff, but we were missing out. Chicago's got us beat. I would definitely try that if I if I was able to borrow one of the BMXs, I would definitely do that. I don't. I disagree. Hell, yeah, dude. You disagree that I would do it?

Yeah, I don't. That doesn't strike me as, dude. You disagree that I would do it? Yeah, I don't. That doesn't strike me as a Gavin thing at all. You're crazy. You think I don't? I don't know. Maybe because in slow mo guys, you know, you're never the guy in the line of fire. I just I find it hard to believe you would hit that ramp on a BMX. Hmm. I think nerves are getting in the way. I think you talk yourself out of it.

I know Andrew does bring up a good point. You do talk yourself out of stuff when it goes from theory to practice sometimes. But I feel like you would do it. I feel like you would be you would feel. You would feel safe with the water. Yeah, I don't think I'd get hurt. I would love to see you do it. You brought up the great point of how vertical the ramp is. I would love to see you do it.

You brought up the great point of how vertical the ramp is. You'd have to really be pushing forward. I feel like that could get in your head. Yeah, I think I'd be worried about straight off as I hit the ramp and just like slamming the ramp with my face. That would be unfortunate. But yeah, let's set this up. I'll do it.

Hey, can I send you guys one other photo? Yeah, of course. I want to ask you guys a question. Oh, I'm excited. Couple of weeks ago, before I went to town, I went out to dinner with Millie.

We had a little like, you know, she's leaving for college. We were having like our some goodbye dinners and stuff. And we went to this like kind of like Korean barbecue place and they had this, which is cornbread shaped like fish. Whoa. I've seen the fish before.

I didn't know it was cornbread. It's cornbread, but it's like in the shape of a fish. And you know I'm not big on fish, right? And I saw it and I was like, oh, I don't really wanna eat fish looking cornbread either. But then I was like, ah, it's just cornbread, right? And I saw it and I was like, I don't really want to eat fish looking cornbread either. But then I was like, it's just cornbread, right? I'll just eat it. And it was fucking delicious.

And that butter right there, that honey butter, whatever it was, was unbelievable. And I was sitting there eating this cornbread, this fish cornbread and thinking, I wonder how much fish cornbread I would have to eat before I could trick myself into liking fish. Which got me thinking thinking could you trick yourself into eating a food that you don't like by eating other food? That's shaped to look like it like eventually would it wear you down Subconsciously where you would suddenly like fish without even realizing it because you've been eating fish shaped and fish looking things forever

Like if I only ate gummy fish or whatever for like a month would and fish looking things forever. Like if I only ate gummy fish or whatever for like a month, would fish start to look appealing to me at the end? Or would or if I ate a bunch more cornbread fish, would at some point a filet of fish actually look appealing? Do you think you could eat a cornbread jar of mayo? No. But maybe if you found something that made more sense with the with the mayo, it could trick me. You know what I mean? I like cornbread, so I'm not eating fish.

I'm eating cornbread. But if I ate enough, you know, fish looking cornbread would eventually I just start to like fish. I think you could over like 10 corn fish cornbreads. You could just start sneaking in bits of fish until you're eating fish. Oh, I don't know about that. Fish and cornbread would be a weird combination, I think. But I do think that I could like, you know, you could trick it. Like maybe the next time I ate a steak, I cut it to look like a fish.

You know, and you just get closer and closer. You just keep fish shaping stuff until eventually you're eating fish. You don't even realize. I see for me, the cornbread is more like disguising it because I have a similar feeling about Mayo, Jeff. I hate Mayo unless I don't know it's there as established. I need to be secret Mayo and then I enjoy it or fancy Mayo, which is a only I need one of those two.

So if you could like Trojan horse, the fish, I guess, in this example, in some way, by by coding it or maybe I almost need the opposite of this where I need it to appear to be something it isn't as opposed to a more delicious version of like you need a fish that looks like a cheese it or something. Yeah, exactly. Can you make fish jerky? Yeah, that sounds horrendous to salmon jerky exists.

Oh, wow. I've never had that. Yeah, I think I got to Google that. I think it is salmon. Salmon is a very jerky color. Naturally. Yeah, wild caught salmon jerky. The idea of like cod jerky is disgusting to me. Yeah, I'm just picturing the the gust coming out of the bag when you open it. I'm sure the mashed potatoes on the fish plate were delicious,

but it does look like something that an alien from your smut novel would have made. Those aren't mashed potatoes. That is butter. That's butter and honey. That's just butter. Do you have bread and mash? Cornbread and fit. Oh, wait, it's not a big pie. It's it's a small plate.

Like I it's not like a full meal of cornbread. There's like a little appetizer, so it may look like proportionally more butter than it is. So it's just cornbread. There's nothing on the inside. No So it's just cornbread. There's nothing on the inside. No, it's just cornbread. But it's shaped to look like a fish. OK, I don't know what was confusing.

No, I just decided that there was something in there already. I already chose it immediately in my head as soon as I saw it. Standard cornbread. I was thinking that was like a croquette. It's easy for me to eat cornbread. I do not like fishquette. It's easy for me to eat cornbread. I do not like fish very much. It's hard for me to eat fish. But here I am eating cornbread that looks like fish thinking I bet I could trick

myself into eating fish if I eat enough fish looking food. Would you try mashed potato on toast? That's a weird combo. Would I? That would be strange. Hell, yeah. You got it on you right now. I bet that'd be pretty good. You just described two things I like a lot. Now we're talking like enough for it's like a sandwich, like a mashed potato sandwich.

I was just thinking like just as you would spread butter, you would spread mash. Oh, is mash spreadable? Of course it is. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I mean, you thought butter was mash. Hey, once again, what's like I should have put on hard. That was a great point by you. Of course it is. Yeah. OK. Yeah. I mean, you thought butter was mash.

Hey, once again, what's like I should have put on hard. That was a great point by you. Got no argument against that. Very valid. I that would be what type of bread are we talking? I think that needs to be like Texas toast. Oh, thick, like a thick cut. I might make this for lunch. Oh, that sounds very British.

Can you mash one potato? I guess you can. Yeah, of course you could. You can also just want to have a lot of mash. You want me to spread a baked potato? Why not? Or you can go to Rudy's and get their baked potato. It's so fucking good. Mm hmm.

Could you do a baked potato as the bread and mashed potato as the filling? You want me to spread potato on potato? Yeah, like a cut in half baked potato. What's wrong with me? You're spreading fucking baked potato or mashed potato on bread. It's all crazy. Makes more sense than spreading out a potato.

Is it two on the nose to put on like a potato bun? Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo don't think I know what that is. I'll send you a picture. You probably do. But there you go. Oh, little roll. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Rolls. Hell yeah. Oh yeah.

This would be good. So, okay. So you have bread. What type of bread are we doing? Let's break this down. We're talking like a white. We're talking a whole wheat. We're talking...

What is Texas toast usually white bread. Yeah, typically some white Texas toast. Then you're getting your jar of mashed potatoes scooping out of there. Just spread. Well, because it's spreadable. I'm just trying to add to the thing. You know, Andrew, Andrew, I'm with you. Get those potatoes out of that jar. Let's get them out of the jar.

Get them out of your container. Anybody any favors in that jar? Get them out of there. You spread it down. Now, what are we looking at? We putting on some pepper. We're putting on some salt. I reckon a bit of pepper and maybe some like

like onion crumble crap. That stuff. You know, onion crumble crap. No, I don't. What is onion crumble crap, that stuff, you know, onion crumble crap. No, I don't. What is onion crumble crap? Like a crunchy, crunchy onion. Okay. Crunchy onions. Okay.

Yeah, I could support that. Like onion strings? No. For cooking? What are they? Like little crisps. Like little onion crisps. You're talking about like the French's crisp onion,

like the little fried onion things that you would put on, Jeff, that you would put on like the green beans. That's what I thought, but he said no. No, that's too big. Okay, well now I don't know what he's talking about. Imagine that, but smash to pieces. Okay. Okay. So smash those to pieces. Put that in a blender and sprinkle a few on, but not too much. So it looks like corn flakes with their onion. So the bottom of a basket of fringes. OK, I got it. What about like some cranberry sauce, cranberry sauce mashed potato?

Well, now we're now we're just I mean, this is now we're just having Thanksgiving dinner. Now it's just going to fall apart as you take it to your mouth. Well, is this double sided or is this open? Is this an open face sandwich? Double sided. You want mash on the underneath? No, I meant like Brett for the bread situation because that is determinant and how you build this. Do you have double sided toast? Well, if I'm making a turkey sandwich, it's double sided. See what I mean? An open-sided sandwich.

So I guess closed would be the opposite of what I'm saying. Is this closed? How is one thing open or closed? If you have a sandwich that is just one singular slice with stuff on top of it, it's open-faced. Yeah. So you're asking if there's two slices or one? Yes. Jesus.

Are you going to answer it? I'm with you, Gavin. He's, yeah, he's nuts, dude. says two slices or one? Yes. Jesus. Are you going to? Yeah, I'm with you, Gavin. He's yeah, he's nuts, dude. That's crazy. I don't know who's on whose side. I'm more. What's the answer to his question? Imagine peanut butter on toast, right?

Yeah. Yeah. OK, except it's mash and there's pepper and little onion crisps. So it's an open. So is it to base two pieces of toast? Yeah, open face. No, there's no one else is confused here.

Like you're like, you're like in attack mode out of confusion, but no one else is confused. Okay, I'm back to the quarter and I'm all puffed up, but no, it's open face toast. It's good. Open face toast. What's closed? Closed toast is just a sandwich, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah, well that's why we keep saying just a sandwich, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's why we keep saying open face sandwich, right?

I think that's why people are saying that. I am just trying to break Gavin's brain and I don't think I've ever been more successful. I just try to break his brain. It's really working. I don't know. These subtle differences between Canada and England that you just don't know about. And double sided, some double sided toast. So you've got a you got a piece of Texas toast, then you got some mashed potatoes on top of that.

And then you've got some some onion bits, right? Crispy onion bits. And then what's next? For me, that's it. No salt, no pepper. No, a bit pepper as well. Okay, what about butter? You don't put a little pat of butter on it or a little burn gravy I don't like the combination of onion and butter. Hmm. I mean onions love butter I don't know why I don't but it's because it's crispy like then it gets soggy Well, it's gonna get pretty soggy in the mash

It's going on something soft and soggy. I mean we could all try making this and see how we feel about it. Yeah, I like that. Let's do it. We could do that. What are we gonna call this? Maybe we each come up with our own names for how we do it. Mashed potato toast. Oh, I like mashed potato toast. That's really good. Yeah, I think I want to declare that one the winner before we even go any further.

That was pretty way to go, dude Holy shit, that is a great name It is officially as of this moment mashed potato toast and it is gonna be the first recipe in our new cookbook That now has to happen. God damn mash potatoes to mash potato toast. I I'm excited to go into the lab with this. I am too. I feel like it's been a while since we've hit the lab. It has been. It's been too long. I have a I have a little clip. Can I play it? Please. It's from Best Summer Things Draft.

Oh, no. Of the road trip. Well, it's the thing. The thing about it is, is they use it as a trope in horror movies because it is the pentintacle of fun. I know, I know. I knew it when I said it. I knew it when I said it. I said it when I corrected myself in the middle of the fucking episode. I thought Pent Ultimate was the only one. I think you've got an issue with pens. I meant to say Pinnacle. I just said Pintacle. I was thinking, I don't know why I got pentagram and Pentechal jumbled up in my head. It's just a sign of age. Every time I, it's just, it's good. I'll be honest with you.

It's gonna happen with increasing frequency as I get closer to death. Mashed Pintato. That's not as funny. I... Gavin loves flubs more than I think anyone loves anything. I really do. I don't know why. They really, really make me laugh. When that happened, did you write down, like, roughly where it was in the recording to go back to it? Or was it when you were reviewing it, you heard it?

I think while I was reviewing it and then I just take a screenshot of the timecode. God, you could have asked me. I could have told you exactly when when and where happened. I've been thinking about it for a fucking two weeks Wait waiting for it to waiting for it to hit reddit I've been I seriously been bugging me really Second it left my mouth. Oh, we were no we were just too far down the road to go back That was your pulse year in twisters. That was internally. It's just been eating you alive. Yeah, we have no idea Yeah, you've got the poor shit thing. I was embarrassed by the point most thing. I think we're all just embarrassing ourselves That's what this whole story embarrassment era. Yeah. I'd argue this whole thing is our embarrassment

era. I don't think we've ever left the embarrassment era. That's sort of the point. I was recently in England and, you know, traveling and doing all that shit. I feel like a lot of people changed some behavior after COVID, a little bit more considerate about, you know, bodily fluids and sprays. Totally. But there's just an absolute spree in the airport in Heathrow of people just coughing right into their hands. Like aren't you not supposed to cough on your hands? Where do you cough if you have a big, if you have a big throat clear and a sputter? I cough into the shoulder. My fourth grade teacher taught me that. I cough into my elbow. My fourth grade teacher taught me that.

I cough into my elbow. Yeah, in an elbow. Shoulder. How do you? That's a real stretch. No, I just turn. Yeah, I turn my head. I kind of you know, it's sort of it's down that line because I do bring the arm up to. It's like the least impressive dab, which is saying a lot.

I don't think there is an impressive one, but it is like half dab for sneezing. I would say. I just think that everyone is more disgusting than ever. Like putting my stuff through the X-ray thing and security and just the person in front of me, coughing all over and then touching my tray to like get to get to the ass. I'm just like, oh my God. Do you ever,

do you ever like cough or sneeze in your own space and are just a fucking animal about it? Oh, I love doing that. If I'm just alone in my office, I'll deliberately sneeze on stuff like the door or just like on the wall. That's not what I meant. I love doing it.

If you're aiming, will you like walk over to something and be like, oh, this is really gonna be bad. If I'm walking through, if I'm just walking out of my office, I'll just get it really, really close to the door and just sneeze right on it. Oh, I I've spent so much time traveling over the last couple of weeks that I just hate all of humanity right now. I don't ever want to travel ever again.

I'm so fucking bummed that I got to get in a plane. It just sucks. People suck. People in public suck. Everything sucks. You know what doesn't suck? Hot dogs around the world don't suck. I had some good ass hot dogs the last couple weeks. Oh, you had some good hot dogs?

Pretty inconsistent? Yeah, man. The Midwest knows their hot dogs. Should we do a hot dog? Should we like, we haven't really updated the audience on our hot dog count or anything. Let's update them. Let's get into the dog count part of our Slack channel and have a look at where we're at.

Currently, Andrew has six. Nick stocks has three. Hang on. I'm scrolling back. I have five. Gavin has zero and Jeff has 12. Jeff's been on a lot. Jeff, Jeff, it's not a race. This is not a competition.

Does that mean I've had more than the rest of you put together? No, not quite, because Andrew's up there, I'm up there, and Nick has a few. So I think we're right around the same amount. Gavin was zero. Yeah. Gavin was zero. Yeah, Gavin was zero is... But that makes sense. I only started eating these dogs. We did this count and I went, why am I trying to eat hot dogs?

Because it was meant to be that we're just seeing how many dogs were. But all it's done is turn into a massive dog competition. No, it hasn't. It's not. I realized and I don't want to compete. I don't want to. Who do you think is competing though? You!

I'm absolutely not competing. I'm only eating dogs when it's appropriate and when I find myself in a place to eat dogs. I just happen to have been at a bunch of baseball games and in a fucking city that prides itself on hot dogs. You can't walk three feet in Chicago without seeing a hot dog. So it's like when in Rome, you know, like I went to my wife likes that restaurant,

Portillo's. So we went to Portillo's twice. What else am I going to eat at Portillo's other than a hot dog? I'll have a Chicago beef. I had one of those. We're not counting those, though. So I'm just I could go another month without eating a hot dog. I just have been in hot dog heavy situations for the last. It very hot dog heavy situations. It's a man. You've inspired me heavy situations. It's a lot of man.

You've inspired me. You've been posting images of your dogs. I've gone, you know what? That looks delicious. They do. That's another thing. They're good looking hot dogs out there. How do you say no? Yeah, you've had some corkers on there.

Some of those look delicious. Dude, I went to this place in Chicago called Devil Dogs in Wicker Park. Oh, my God. This fucking snap to the casing that like no other hot dog I've ever eaten has. They pride themselves on it, it's so fucking good. That's why I sent you that picture of that little,

did I send you guys that picture of that little hot dog man? He was so cute. Yes, he did. Oh, okay, yeah, there you go. He's coating himself in condiment. Yeah. Yeah, because he wants to be eaten. Yeah, because he wants to be eaten.

That's, yeah. But yeah, I swear I'm not trying to compete with you guys. No, not at all. Or anything. It's just, you know, I can tell you're just living that life, Jeff. Yeah. Enjoying that hot dog glow. I mean, that's part of how this whole thing started, right? Was I asked you guys, what's the food you can't say no to? For me, it's hot dogs.

I'll never say no to a hot dog. You know, speaking of previous recordings, I have a little update on something that I felt like would clarify previous situations. We went through recently my computer setup and my folders and my desktop and all that. And I was trying to articulate why I had a desktop folder to find the stuff on my desktop and probably can't use this image publicly because I don't know what exactly here. This is what my desktop used to look like, which is why I required the information from the list, because I couldn't find anything.

So I needed to be able to get it to my desktop. Jeff, can you like- Well, he said it can't because he doesn't know what's on there. It's just all my files, so there's probably like banking information and stuff on that. The best way I could describe it would be if he played a game of Free Cell with every file on his computer and won, and it's that scene when you win free sell and all the cards go in every direction. But it's every one of his files. It's like the solitaire bouncing cards.

So that is not how it's all cleaned up now. So it's not really necessary. But that is why it was such an issue when I lost my desktop little clicky thing. You know, that's insane there, right? But you must have been 20 percent towards this end result when you were like, this is insane. I'm just going to keep it this way because it's insane. Or did you look at that and think, oh, how did that happen? I would just never look at it.

I'd immediately open Google and then that would be gone. I wouldn't see it. And it'd be like, I don't even know what's back. You know, I will say I don't see my desktop very often either. If I think about it, I usually have windows open in front of it. There's nothing. I don't see my desktop very often either if I think about it. I usually have windows open in front of it. There's nothing. And my way to access all of that information was through the little clicky two face tab, two face, one smile.

The find. Yeah. I, to be fair, I do think it's insane that screenshots go to the desktop and not a, like a pictures or a screenshot folder somewhere. Yeah. It's ridiculous. Outrageous. But that is, I wanted to provide some context as to the importance of that. You should remove that image so I don't accidentally post it because I'll forget. So is it it's cleaned up now. It doesn't look like this. No, it's all clean.

Now I can see now when you say that, what does that mean? And you want me to see what it looks like currently? Let me. Oh, my God, I got so many windows. I got to fucking out of here. Oh, it's frozen. Oh, shit. You can get out of here. Apple ID.

Yeah, I can't believe I asked for a I can't believe he gave an update. And then I asked for a. No, no, no. One second. One second. One second. I'm getting there. I'm getting there. I'm getting there. Adobe Acrobat Updater has not been able to. I don't care.

You don't care. You don't have like a button to show the desktop or a corner or like click on the desktop? It's a computer that I'm using that's not for recording. Is the desktop in question. What does that change? It's pinwheeling. Well, how would I share the screen to a computer that is not connected to this Discord? I didn't ask you to share the screen.

What did you ask? Sorry. Run the question back. I was trying to get to my desktop. I didn't hear. What was the question? I just wanted to see it. I did double sided toast. You don't have to share it. I just think you can take a picture. Yeah, that's what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to literally get there so I can take a photo on my phone. You're trying to get to your desktop. Oh, fuck. I know time's run out. I don't want to activate her by now.

Still trying. I just didn't think it was gonna, Gavin, I didn't think it was gonna turn into this. I apologize. You know like in movies when a company's getting like audited or shut down and everyone just starts shredding everything and there's papers flying it. That's what he's doing to get to his desktop. I'm almost there. Oh, almost fucking hide. I'm clicking the high button.

Hey, while he's doing that, Gavin, did he ever 3D scan his head and give it to you so you can. Oh, no. OK, I'll do that. God damn. Didn't you? Didn't you? Didn't I send him your phone for that? Yeah, he sent the soy phone so he could do it. Yeah. Yeah, I'll do I'll do that today That is it will happen now. Well, not now but People not understanding what we were talking about with the soy phone and reddit and having getting real confused by it

What was it? It said soy this phone contains soy oil. Yeah, like there's a sticker on the back of the box Yeah, I wonder if it's like a part of the pigment of the paint or something. What are you doing? What are you doing? I actually realized that the people that missed our very first stream missed the whole piss rat thing. Like we're always doing piss rats in the chat. And it's just because Eric left for like two minutes or something, right? As we started.

But I realized that you can't even go back and see that because Nick trimmed off the piss rats part. Yep. So maybe we should post, maybe we should find that file and post the piss rat origin. Okay. Origin of the origin of piss rat. Yeah. We already got, we already got the origin of spummer out there. And I think that's more than enough.

I'm more of a spummer guy at this point. I'm a big time spummer guy. I got no idea what spummer is. I can't wait to find out all about that. Oh, so you've got, Okay, so an Adobe. Oh, it's not that clean.

There's still like 50 things in there. That's what I was, that's really what I was driving at is like, I know what this is going to look like and it's not what it is what what do you do with Adobe? Acrobat updater, I don't know what there's two options up in my face and is being annoying You can enter a password and hit install helper or you can't cancel. I've tried both and they don't do anything I've tried both and they don't do anything. Both.

So maybe it's another supplemental. I have a problem where it says, hey, you need to log into this thing. And then, uh, I, I do it and then Apple says, okay, no, that's not right, but it is right. So I don't know what to do. It just doesn't do it. Sounds like it's just not right. No, it's okay. So it says, it's fine. You know, we don't need to do this again. I feel like I'm back at a tech support company,

but it says I need to update my settings. I click continue. I put the password in and then just nothing happens. It says do it. It says some account services will not be available until you sign in again. I say, okay, continue. And then it just takes me back to that screen because I'm signed in. Uninstall it. Yeah. Oh wait. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. What'd you do? And then it just takes me back to that screen. Because I'm signed in. Just uninstall it. Yeah. Oh wait. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. What'd you do? Enter password.

Okay, well that's apparently wrong. I don't know my password. I guess fuck. You don't have the password to your iMac? Right. That's what I'm saying. Is that you just enter the password and this will be done. And he doesn't know. And I know he doesn't know.

There's no way he could. How do you not know the password to your own computer? Hey, once how do you log into it? Let me try this he hasn't rebooted this computer in seven years. We are we keep having a computer What do you mean? It always just logs in when I reboot it like I've done the reboot so you have no password on your Mac Well, I clearly do because there's a like a lot if you don't have a password and just hit

install helper with no password. OK, I entered the right password and then it goes away and nothing happens. Sounds like you did it. Nothing's changed. It drives me crazy every day. It pops up with this thing. You need to do this and I do it and then nothing happens. Nothing. I tried one thing and then nothing happens. Nothing. I've tried one thing and it sort of solves it.

And I figure I'll just live with it forever. I'm all out of ideas. So if I do a restart, is that a reboot? Jeff, Jeff, are you okay? How do I reboot this thing? Jeff, use your tech support skills. Sorry, I'm going to need you to go ahead and click on the black Apple icon on the top left of your screen. If you could go to that and click on the restart button.

One click. I've done that tons of times. OK, that's how we that's how we reboot a computer here in 2024. I was just confirming. Yeah, no, I'm just I'm just here to help you, sir. Just just here to help. And to be clear, you're saying when it comes back on, it just does that again. Logs in on its own.

Almost certainly. Yes. Here we go. So we're waiting for it. I click the button. Nothing's happened. What button did you are you referring to? Oh, it's now cycling through Finder and all the Spotify. And I think it's closing any open. OK, here we go. Now it is iconless. through Finder and all the Spotify and I think it's closing any open. OK, here we go. Now it is iconless.

It's a generic background of Ireland. I'm assuming he is he just is he walking us through what it looks like when you reboot a computer? I think so. OK, now it turned off. OK, now it's back on. Right. That's like a surprise. He said it like he Okay, now it's back on He said it like he's never seen it do that well what was weird about that is Doesn't it typically do the apple and all that when you when it comes on

Yeah, they didn't do that just went black and then went back to Ireland. Oh now we're black again Still it's still turning off Why didn't you a little peekaboo? Oh, there's the apple I'm gonna guess it's because it doesn't remember how to reboot because it hasn't done it in so long Have you rebooted since you tried to print the law? Oh, yeah plenty of times. Okay, this thing breaks all the time All the time. It's old. We've been over this. It's like 13 years old. Do you think it's time for a new one?

And maybe the law would print immediately on the new one. I don't know if any computer can handle the Canadian law. I don't know if it matters. I don't know how you're hanging on. I have mine is from like twenty 2018 and it's killing me. I got to get a new one so bad. It makes me a patient man. I just stare at the pinwheel, ponder.

Think about life. I think about open-sided toast, closed toast, double-sided toast. Maybe if we end this episode and start the next one, it will be rebooted by then. Oh, wow. What a cliffhanger kind of like it Celestial Glorbosus is cliffhanger. You mean cliffbanger cliffbanger. It's a twofer. Yeah Speaking of twofer, that's what we're doing today

So we have to end this episode of the regulation podcast so that we can turn around and start the next episode of the Regulation Podcast.
