Dragon's Dogma 2, the highly anticipated successor to the cult classic Dragon's Dogma,
is out now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S and X, and Steam.
Dragon's Dogma 2 is a third-person action RPG boasting a richly detailed and deeply
explorable fantasy world created using Capcom's RE Engine's immersive physics,
groundbreaking character AI systems, and cutting-edge graphics.
Dive into the vast and dynamic world where The Arisen is called upon to fulfill a forgotten
destiny across the nations of Vermont, the Kingdom of Humanity, and Batal, the nation
of Beastrin.
Dragon's Dogma 2 revolves entirely around choice.
Your choice, that is.
From the sword and shield-wielding fighter to fighter to the illusion conjuring trickster, there are over 10 unique vocations to choose from that all require experience to unlock new skills.
And character customization is out of this world, literally. Oh, and did I mention the combat is
really in-depth? It isn't just hacking at a giant's ankle for half an hour while your dodge
roll attacks. You can engage enemies from a distance, climb up large foes, stab them in their weak points,
use the terrain and trick, trip,
or throw foes off high cliffs or raging waters.
Visit dragonsdogma.com to buy the game
and start your epic quest today.
That's D-R-A-G-O-N-S-D-O-G-M-A.com to learn more.
This is a Rooster Teeth production.
I just want to point out that Gavin was on time to the second this time.
This is episode 137. Go ahead.
Hello and welcome to another
episode of the F*** Face Podcast.
My name is Jeff Ramsey.
With me, as always, Andrew Payton and Gavin Free.
Happy to report everyone showed up on time today for the last recording of the year.
Great job, Gavin.
Great job, Andrew.
Good job, Jeff.
Can you hear me?
Now, is this the last recording of the year?
Because you guys have, I think, one more tomorrow.
Last one I'm involved with.
No, last regulation episode of the year. That's fair. Yeah. more tomorrow last one i'm involved with no last
last regulation episode of the year that's fair yeah that's fair i'm excited for tomorrow
fireplace uh yeah i think it'll happen we'll see wait what what what does that mean well we've had
some difficulties and uh i may have a hello wrinkle in my schedule that I'm trying to What? You have to be kidding.
Are you serious?
Can you hear me?
Now we can.
This is
the worst show I've involved in.
I was recording
but I wasn't in the Discord apparently.
Listen, it's not me.
It's just that uh holiday travel has
been a nightmare and millie as you know is flying back from very close to buffalo new york which is
apparently the coldest place on earth and so uh there there might be some difficulties with her
getting home so i may require me to drive somewhere to get her we'll just have to see to
new york no up to dallas. If she gets stranded up there.
I'll let you know though, Eric.
Don't worry.
I'll let you know.
You're going to let me know when.
As soon as I find out.
I don't know.
Here's what's going to happen, Eric.
It's going to be you and me at Alyssa's house.
Bernie Wilkes.
Me and Gavin are going to be hanging out for eight hours
recording an 8K video of fire on like a 73 degree day.
It's going to be the longest we've ever hung out combined.
It's going to be it.
It's going to listen.
Unless I have to.
Unless I'm in Dallas or driving home from Dallas to rescue my kid, I'll be there.
And believe me, I don't want to be there for eight hours any longer than you guys do.
Should we talk about that?
Well, Nick already can't do it because
of sickness. And then we've got
Andrew just doesn't want to do
it. That's not true. Oh,
I can't be there for it.
You're here today. We were going to do it
today. Yeah, but I couldn't.
What? What would my role be
in you filming an 8K
fireplace? What is my presence presence gavin i'd love to
be there but i can't support just being like vacant i because it was originally pitched as
essentially the end of year christmas party for the show and the fire would just be there that
you tend to occasionally this has gone through so many variations of what it is. It's going to be Eric and I just hammered it
into someone else's kitchen.
Like, can I just...
I hate this bit.
I hate the fireplace bit.
I don't think it's good.
We've totally lost the thread on it.
None of it makes sense.
It feels like we're doing it out of obligation.
I don't like anything about...
It's been such a struggle
to get what is going to be an unuploadable file with no sound with no sound oh there's no audio
what are we gonna do oh great those videos don't usually have oh no they have like a crackling fire
or you got like some christ music. There's something there.
There's always something.
Yeah, I just didn't think
there'd be actual sound from the room.
Well, I figured we would get
like the crackling fire
and then I thought we could release
an alternate cut.
I haven't talked to you guys
about this yet.
I thought we could release
an alternate cut
where we do the audio track
and we just fully fire with our mouths.
Just like crackle, crackle, pop.
Well, I...
Hang on.
Who's going to edit that 8k video what are you
talking so we we're going to have one 8k 8 hour video of the fire then we're going to have a
second 8k 8 hour video with andrew's commentary commentary. Then we're going to have a third 8K, 8-hour video
where we just go crackle pop.
Potentially, yes.
Potentially?
I mean, that's all I've come up with so far.
I see.
I was even thinking every year we could do a...
Every year?
We could get together and do a commentary on the video
and then re-upload it.
Each export's going to take me a damn week to
Do it they're massive. I mean if we're adding fireplace content into the mix I should add in I should add in myself
I I took it upon myself because I think this originally started because I said I'd be a great fire guy
Pretending the fire, but I can't yes. We've lost the thread, but yes
I don't ironically I think Eric guy pretending the fire but i can't yes we've lost the thread but yes that that was it ironically i
think eric you're the one that brought the thread to us to begin with i think you're you introduced
this at the start i think this is the thing you brought up but anyway i don't have a fireplace
i don't know anyone who has a fireplace but i i made my own fireplace i went out i bought some
clay and uh i organized everything well we were we're not
supposed to record today we were originally supposed to record tomorrow when we rescheduled
for today i was deep in the clay i was measuring things out i was rolling out balls getting
everything ready of some german clay by the way leather effect, too, which wasn't ideal, but, you know, you do what you can.
So I got the clay, put it all down,
pop it in the oven.
Real easy.
That's the photo.
I made my little walls.
The bottom part is gonna be the top,
but you need to have gravity,
so it's, like, downward.
And then I got a little chimney.
See my cute little chimney to the left of it?
And I gotta say, I haven't worked with clay
since maybe like the
second grade pretty fucking proud look at this chimney I made this little fireplace this cute
little clay fire all these photos will be in the video version obviously not on Instagram I assume
uh it's it's just a standard regulation fireplace I'd say you got some brick on the outside yeah so brick effect on the outside i'll be honest
it looks delicious it does it did look very appetizing you made it look like you know it
looks like 70 dark chocolate completely edible yeah just look like chocolate naturally it was
that was funny so then i organized everything i was worried about you know i set off the smoke
alarms trying to cook desk dogs.
So this was an outside operation.
And because of us recording today,
I had to do it as soon as I finished that.
It was frantic.
I'm in my underwear at night on my balcony,
shivering, literally shivering
due to how cold it is trying to film it.
I prepped my little stand.
Since we got a tiny little fireplace,
got some toothpicks is the main source.
I bought 600 toothpicks as well as pencils
because what else are you going to do but burn them?
Yeah.
So I had that going,
and I initially, as soon as I got the toothpicks out,
I had a mistake.
I didn't realize toothpicks were bigger than the fireplace,
which was a problem.
I did not predict, but that's fine.
I just have to break them up, get my kindling going.
So I broke them up, did that.
This is the end of my podcast journey with this.
I refilmed myself making a fireplace video last night
that since I'm doing a reaction video to your guys' fireplace,
I figured you could do a reaction to my fireplace later.
Phenomenal.
So we got at least three locked in videos.
Does the chimney function?
Is it actually...
Here's the...
I couldn't find glue, so I couldn't reattach the chimney.
And that's a great point.
I realized the overhang was much too low.
I couldn't feed in new stuff, so I had to flip my chimney upside down,
and what's intended to be the top is now the bottom.
Why didn't you just make it while it was soft,
like attached?
Yeah.
Because of solidifying the other parts,
I had to use...
Solidify it all together.
How am I going to put a little tiny...
Imagine trying to balance a thing on a finger Gavin
Like a trap just one truck words not the weight isn't evenly distributed
Huh, did upside down
The wall apart it wouldn't how would the top part of the chimney hold itself up while it was cooked you would mush it into
The you would combine them and then poke a hole through the bricked part have you ever worked with clay yeah okay well you're more of an expert than i am i
probably could have done that i haven't that was my point i haven't worked with place do you think
that when someone makes like a mug they make the handle separately and glue it on layer
no it's just i had one tiny little package of clay. I'm on a deadline here because people are changing schedules and doing the best I can with what I have.
Maybe next year's fireplace will have the chimney built in.
We'll have that technology ready.
I love it.
I think you've nailed that.
Yeah.
The fact that you had to snap your toothpicks is amazing.
Oh, yeah.
It was a problem.
Here's where I think we should be.
We've clearly...
Eric is 100% right.
We've lost the thread on this.
We lost it a while ago.
But we rented stuff for it.
Well, I know.
That's what I was going to say.
Let me just finish.
I've only been keeping it going
because I know nobody wants to do it.
Nobody wants to do it.
Gavin, I know... Nobody wants to do it. I wants to do it. Gavin, I know.
Nobody wants to do it.
I know Eric actively hates the idea at this point.
I don't want to do it.
Andrew doesn't want to be a part of it.
And so it was just stubbornness and annoyance
that I kept it going.
But in the grand scheme of things,
is it a funnier idea to film?
Hold on. Is it a funnier idea to film hold on is it a funnier idea you're right
to film an 8k eight hour video of andrew's fire not out no well how is that i don't think
andrew's fire would last eight hours like that fireplace would dissolve. It's just like model clay.
It would explode.
It would just crumble.
Wait, so, Andrew, have you actually, like, fired the clay?
Have you actually, like, kiln-dified it?
Or is it still soft?
No, it's an oven.
I threw it in the oven for 30 minutes.
So, that's solidified.
I've lit it on fire.
I have the video.
It's done.
My fireplace video is complete.
Like, if Andrew mailed us that fireplace
and we set it up
in front of a real fireplace
and then we got like a little skinny
like we got chopsticks or something
that we could pick up and put the
the pieces
of pencil and shit in with it and just
film that until the whole thing just disintegrates
on itself. I love the idea of tiny
fireplace equipment. Like tiny pokers
and prongs. Yeah, I'm sure they sell
those. Like tiny fireplace prongs.
Yeah, I looked into it. They do.
They're available.
Because I bought a tiny little fireplace thing for this.
I saw that. The little wood holder is
fucking brilliant. Yeah, it didn't have wood
in it in the image and I couldn't
get the wood out of the holder so
I just had to live with it. But I think you're making these plans before seeing the video and seeing
the video will really adjust your expectations of what is plausible can we see the video uh
I don't have it uploaded anywhere I was gonna have you guys react to it later like post I just felt
like it was a little long for I just at the at the end of the day uh because i have been thinking about this uh there have been like four or five different text threads with different
individuals going on this whole time around this about who's annoyed who's more annoyed with who
uh about putting this fireplace video together and but something that something did stick with me
at some point which is that at this point,
nobody's going to have fun making this.
And kind of the whole point of this podcast
is that we have fun with each other.
And so I don't want to make everybody
spend eight hours together just staring at each other
and not having a good time.
I think if we're all dead.
If nobody really wants to do it.
I think it would be fun too.
If some of us don't have to drive to Dallas,
I think it's going to be a really good time.
Well, how long is the drive to Dallas?
Three and a half hours.
Three and a half hours?
Hang on.
Three and a half hours one way?
One way.
Seven hours round trip.
Yeah, so Jeff could be there for an hour.
So if I have to go tomorrow and get my kid and come back,
then I'm in the car for at least seven hours,
depending on how long.
I'm just worried about using the real room audio
if it's just me and Eric, because it's just gonna be us complaining that no one else is there yes we cannot use the
real room audio what i figured what i figured uh is that we would use the real room audio but we
wouldn't be in the room we would have our conversations or something and hang out in a
different room and then every once in a while somebody would go in and bore and like tend to the fire and you would get like snipp in a while, somebody would go in and tend to the fire
and you would get snippets of our conversation
as we come in and out of the room.
Yeah, I mean, it could be an office day.
Yeah, right?
Like that kind of thing.
Tria, like an office day,
but with the fire on the side.
Yeah.
And me having to swap the memory card every so often.
Because I'll be honest,
I've been thinking about this a lot
when I was on Christmas break.
You guys are officially like my four favorite people outside of my fiance and my daughter and my mom.
But I don't know that I want to spend eight straight hours with any of you.
Oh, I could do it.
Oh, absolutely.
Yeah.
All right.
Spending time together is going to be the fun part.
If we're all there, some of us aren't in Dallas.
OK, well, then that'll only be hard for me. Okay, yeah, let's do it then.
We spent longer than eight hours just
building in Minecraft straight. What are you talking about?
That's kind of my point is that I've been there.
I know what I'm getting into. I mean, my hang
up with this whole thing is, again,
we're going to have how many 8-hour, 8K,
un-uploadable videos that we're going to do?
Like, do we know it's...
It's not going to be uploadable, right?
Well, I think we can do it.
But I think the other ones, the comedy versions,
the commentaries, the snap, crackle, and pops,
they could be just HD.
Yeah, those are fine.
That's fine if they're just HD.
If we, all right,
I'm back on board.
You guys talked me back into it.
I was trying to ease us out of this.
I was trying to say, like,
maybe we don't do the fireplace video.
I understand.
I'll say we don't do the fireplace video.
No, no, no, no.
You can't bring me back from the fire
back into the fold and then try to pull the rope back over my eyes.
No, we're doing it now and I'm fucking in.
You're not even going to be there.
We were out.
No, I'll be there probably.
He'll be there probably.
We'll do it, but we have to have everyone there.
Should we do it?
Okay, if we have to, we can do it on Friday probably.
Probably.
Hold on.
Let me see.
What's Friday?
I will say you don't need to worry about my video being eight hours long.
Why don't we rig it the new year?
The most Gavin answer ever from Jeff.
All right, Nick.
I will say one thing I wanted to do is I saved the apple that I threw up back into the bag.
Oh,
and I,
that's not all throw up.
Most of it's just apple,
but I was going to,
uh,
I was going to throw that on the fire at some point and watch it.
Fuck it.
Just like,
yeah,
disintegrate.
And I,
I definitely want to do that.
All right.
Why don't we postpone?
Well,
we could still do it.
I mean,
there's still a really good chance I can make it tomorrow.
I'll know tonight one way or the other. Okay. We'll, we'll know tonight if we have to, we could still do i mean there's still a really good chance i can make it tomorrow i'll know tonight one way or the other okay we'll we'll know tonight if we have to we could do it
tomorrow we could do it the day after we have this card rented until like the third so we have time
we can figure this stuff out um as long as we're all there i'm bummed that nick can't be there but
as long as we're all there it'll be good i agree that's fantastic by we're all you just mean eric chef and gavin yeah right andrew we could probably call in and record something fun like
in the middle of it um you know what i mean because i'll have like our audio like on the
road anima audio recording equipment so we can record something if you want to but um yeah okay
we can we can do something fun i did i did that if we're going to be together for eight hours,
we would probably end up making like 10,000 iPhone videos.
Like somebody could bring a Frisbee.
We could start training Eric on Frisbee throws.
Like there's all kinds of stuff we could do.
Oh, we could play darts.
It'd be amazing.
Yeah.
Oh, we could play darts.
All this project needed was a 20-minute meeting
about like what we're going to do.
It's a miracle that we're having it.
Okay, listen, I'm glad you guys are on board because I really felt like after 20 years in this business,
I really felt like I was dragging people to do something that nobody wanted to do just to be a dick.
But now it's clear to me that everybody's super into it and wants to do just to be a dick. But now it's clear to me
that everybody's super into it and wants to do it.
I still don't...
None of this makes any sense to me still,
but we're going to do it.
So, like, I'm in.
You don't have to convince me any harder.
I already said yes.
I don't care when we do it, but we should do it.
And I've already spent money.
I've already bought a hard drive.
400 bucks in the hole for this freaking fireplace i think i'm i think i'm 15 that clay i got on sale it was a good deal gavin you know
about me i bought 30 off coupon as well. Well, I've been paying in
fridge space for a year.
That's true. Oh, you're getting
new apples, by the way. They're gonna mail you
apples in the new year. Oh, no shit!
Cosmic Christmas? That's awesome.
Yep. I had one
thing I wanted to get done before the end of the year.
Uh-huh?
Andrew, I beat one of your times.
Oh! Oh my god. Uh-huh. Andrew, I beat one of your times. Oh.
Oh my god.
What?
I don't remember what this is.
Is this Halo?
You have 24 hours to respond.
Didn't we do this already?
Yeah, I felt like we did this already.
We did.
I want to win it again!
So we're just doing it again?
I didn't know that this could be done.
Okay.
Do I get to know what game it is?
Like, what am I looking at here?
You want to know the game?
I mean, that would make it easier.
I mean, I could probably figure it out.
I'd look at your profile.
I'd literally just turn on my Xbox.
Trials HD.
Trials HD?
We're going back to the original Trials?
Fuck.
No.
You're fucked. No, not. This is pretty obvious. You are fucked. trials we're going back to the original trials fuck no you're no not you are no
you are fucked is it the one that took me a hundred days to beat is that i don't know i
can't remember which one that was i don't think so it was the one you were like 70th in the world
on one yeah it's definitely not that literally i i that was a freak accident okay so what's the
protocol i have 24 hours to return the time back to you, and then what?
And then I have 24 hours after that.
Okay, so we're just doing the Halo bet again.
Is there...
I didn't realize that this could happen.
Was there like an end of the year...
Loser eats a pencil.
Yeah, okay.
Sure, why not?
What did we do last time?
What was the prize for...
No, you had to eat
a piece of gum of my choice and i've ruined it on the deep all right it's the gum thing again
okay we're doing gum gum 2.0 that's fine i'll start uh downing trials while we're
nick says season six gonna lead off with another lawsuit
i'm glad it's trials and not Monopoly money.
In my head, I was like, you didn't.
Yeah.
I don't have Monopoly money on my door right now.
Hey, should we talk about that today?
We're recording this on Wednesday, December 28th,
which is actually the day that the cucumber episode dropped.
Gavin, it's pretty clear you're not going to go to Canada
and put that Monopoly money on his door, right?
That's not going to happen in the next three days, especially if you're going to spend tomorrow or Friday filming a fireplace.
The thing was, with all the 20,000 cancelled flights last week and the fact that this fireplace video might happen, I've just missed the window.
I was actually looking at flights last week. Yeah, and I've just missed the window. I was actually, I was looking at flights last week.
Yeah.
And I figured I had the window.
We had the advantage of a massive snowstorm
that shut down the Vancouver airport
like last week.
And then I was like,
with the fireplace video
and a recording this week,
Gavin's window is like one or two days.
You're not going to do it on New Year.
Like it was very tight.
I think at this point,
I'm limited to doing it on New Year's Eve.
Yeah. And I was going to be just doing it on New Year's Eve. Yeah.
And I was going to be just fully prepared on New Year's Eve because I assume that would be literally the only day you had.
You were not cashing out on this.
And I don't have the the advantage of having a Jeff that lives on Vancouver Island to do all the work for me.
No, but you have the advantage of knowing where I live.
I didn't have your address.
I still don't have your address.
I feel like that was the trade off. You know where I am. I don't know your address. I still don't have your address. I feel like that was the trade-off.
You know where I am.
I don't know where you are.
That's a good point.
And I still, I volunteered to go to Canada with you
to help participate in any of this.
The reason I bring this up,
because I was thinking about it today,
with all the arguing about whether Andrew's point
should count or not, which absolutely it does.
It's ridiculous.
I realized that we're so far ahead because we had to batch record because
of the holidays that we won't be able to respond.
Like this will come out like third week of January or something.
Second week of January.
So the audience isn't going to find out about the goddamn monopoly money
till February if it happens or not.
So I was just thinking we should cut it off right here and not leave them
hanging any
longer than we have to and just say like it's probably not gonna like i'm gonna assume it's
not gonna happen first of all i want to say that with with the cucumbering we did on gavin
jeff i think undeniably the cleanest cucumbering ever done of all time the fact that there are
people that don't think there's cucumbers all over my hands and calling
in ridiculous attack insane insane these people do not respect the rica laws they they're out in
their mind it's crazy what they're saying that jeff did all the work and you didn't do anything
yeah that i had zero role in in it happening which is fine that's how clean of a cucumbering
it was the fact that they don't blame me at all. They don't think I'm in the slightest bit guilty.
Incredible. It's a historic
calling. It's phenomenal because I have got
to say, your hands,
Andrew, are dripping in cucumber seeds.
Dripping in cucumber seeds. They're covered
in cucumber slime.
Covered. I've been sending
Andrew messages recently just because
of the way the last one ended and how you
are apparently tracking me. I just kept texting Andrew last week just asking where am I and he sent me a photo
the Austin airport and it had the Austin airport logo in the photo what you don't know Gavin is I'm
not the one who who noticed that I tweeted that out and then I had somebody delete a subreddit
post about it because I couldn't figure it out. I was like, where is he? Because you claimed you weren't in Austin.
Yeah, because I was like, where am I?
And he's like, Austin.
I was like, well, that's true.
So then I just sent him a picture that I had in my camera roll of the airport.
But it was Austin Airport.
I was like, where am I?
He's like, Austin.
I was like, nope.
So I was just lying.
But apparently the logo of the Austin Airport was on the ground.
It was on the like the separators for where people should stand.
But it was a whole thing.
I asked people.
I went to the people to help.
And it was quickly discovered.
So I owe them one.
And I was scared that you would realize.
Because Jeff, let's just go over all the cucumber things.
Let's wrap up on the end.
I'm going to tell you who my helper was for the cucumber thing. But's just start okay let's start at the beginning so we're we're we're wrapping up
the cucumber saga right here yes it is it is this is the end of it there's some twists and turns
uh so initially i just thought i really like this bet and i want to add field with fire
so i asked my helper who i'll reveal at the end of this uh would it be an inconvenience for you
to take a photo of a cucumber in front of this mural they're like absolutely not so then I posted
it and I sent it to you what I didn't expect was so many people being like is Andrew in Austin
this is crazy and I thought oh fuck I guess now I need to try to try to make it seem like I'm in
Austin how can I pull this off so I immediately started looking at buying plane tickets just to have for the person a little out of my price range. Unfortunately,
I thought about getting one that would go to Vegas because I felt that was timely with like
claiming I'd be in Vegas in November, but just the months didn't line up. Um, obviously since
we were in December, um, that didn't work. But then I looked online at a hotel I would stay at and I found a room for like $180 when
everything else was $250.
So I booked that hotel room.
Are you serious?
Oh, yeah.
No, I booked.
I legitimately booked a room at the Hilton for this.
Can he expense report this?
For what?
What is he?
Why did he do?
Why is this insane? Yeah, i rented a room i did why uh you
know yeah because i needed to ground that i was there i needed it nobody andrew no one was ever
going to believe that you like none of this makes sense none this is yeah whatever expense it i
don't care whatever you beat me i lose i don I don't know. I didn't expect to expense it.
I just wanted to do
a ridiculous gag with it.
I was just like,
how far can I go?
Sure, sure, sure, sure.
I just don't want you
to be out of hotel room
for nothing.
No, it's fine.
So I booked a hotel room.
I reached out to my helper
and I was like,
hey, do you have a Mac laptop?
And they happened to have it.
I said,
do you have a Yeti microphone?
They had that.
Perfect. What is your availability on this day Mac laptop? And they happen to have it. So do you have a Yeti microphone? They had that. Perfect.
What is your availability on this day?
They changed their work schedule to do this.
They were so on board with being in the bit.
They're like, I have plans.
I can trade with people.
So they flipped it.
Then I thought, how can I ground this so it's a live thing?
And I realized, oh, if they took a photo of our chat,
that would put it in current time.
And that would be like the thing that would put it in current time.
And that would be like the thing that would be the most confusing aspect of it.
So they booked themselves.
They went into the hotel.
They live in Austin.
They went to the hotel, checked in.
They just sat there for the entirety of,
I think we did two,
and that came up on the second one.
They just hung out in the hotel room by themselves.
He was sat there while we
recorded the first one and didn't mention it yeah no he just had it open he just wasn't paying
attention so it's on his phone okay so that all happens if you listen i'm very distracted because
i'm like trying to coordinate photos and i'm like oh you got to open audacity and you gotta do all
these things so then i start i make the move i do the
post you guys start peppering just coming in well it's just i didn't i just wanted to do a gag for
it it was just there was zero thought as he's going with the momentum of it of course then i
i tweeted or i didn't tweet i i was messaging him posted the photos you guys started peppering me
with questions i'm like i need to get out of here because this is going to fall apart immediately
and i can't have this fall apart while i have somebody in a hotel room that i booked
for this gag so i leave and then i start going over the photos and i see the photo with eric
in the bottom left of it and i think i'm fucked like that's it that's done that's the damning
piece of undeniable evidence that i was using. The reason why I was using the Eric account is because I needed him to be in the chat without anyone noticing.
And I remembered I made those dummy accounts in the past for a different bit.
So I got him signed up and had him appearing offline.
But why did you use your dummy account?
Because I just I didn't consider that it would appear in the bottom left.
I just forgot that was a thing.
So as I leave, I'm then just watching the discord chat with you
guys wondering what's going on and like you're posting things and i'm like you're gonna eventually
notice that it says eric it's the alt account and the bottom left but what i didn't expect
was that you guys would think eric was in on it framing eric was a total accident it just
i miscalculated as soon as you wrap, I listened to everybody's individual audio track
so I could get a grasp of what was going on.
So when we asked you if you'd listened to the forensics
and you said no, you'd already listened to all of us.
I listened to it immediately.
One at a time.
Nick's the one who noticed the Eric, I think.
Yeah, and it was great because you framed it on him,
but then you're like, I don't think it's Eric.
Eric was so genuinely confused.
You then pinned it on a few other people and you're like, I don't think it's Eric. Eric was so genuinely confused. You then pinned it on a few other people.
And you're like, I think it has to be someone that works at the company.
And then Jack's name got brought up.
So then the past however many weeks I've been trying to frame Jack for this the entire time.
They're every that's why when the last steps, the one that just came out, Eric is yelling at me.
What the like? What?, obviously you have a helper,
nobody believes this, you have a helper, this is
insulting. I'm trying to get you guys
to say that I have a helper and that it might be
Jack, because I felt if I said it,
you wouldn't buy into it as much as if you
came to that conclusion. It's actually very
funny where Eric says something along the lines of like,
what are you possibly trying to achieve here?
And I had a specific goal of trying
to get you guys to blame Jack.
Ideally was the plan.
That was my thought process with it.
And I kept doing that.
The thing where I said slack, my notes for that episode was mention you slack the person,
then fumble trying to pretend that you use slack in the JSS.
Oh, that was good.
That was deliberate.
That was great.
You did a great job with that.
I tried really hard.
It never came to.
The fire never caught.
But it was like I was trying to build a fire and just hoping something would spark and you would blame Jack.
Let me see if I still have the screen.
Eric just posted a photo of Nick accusing Eric.
Which is hilarious. It's Nick accusing Eric, which is hilarious.
It's Nick accusing me on Slack,
away from prying eyes.
Nick's accusing you via text
and we're accusing you in your ear at the same time.
It was the worst.
It was the worst.
All I'm taking away from this
is that when Andrew appears to know nothing about something,
he knows everything so many layers deep about the entire situation it was his whole survive block island play it went
so well my my stumble but it just it didn't it didn't lead to jack unfortunately um i even went
into jack jack was twitch streaming one day i popped into his chat i just posted a cucumber
he didn't see it. Never acknowledged it.
Nobody else acknowledged it.
Then I left.
I like that whenever you try and steer Jack's chat conversation.
It never works.
Never.
Zero percent success rate.
Jack is so fucking oblivious to that stuff.
I think that kind of wraps it up.
That's why people are like, it's not going anywhere.
I agree.
It's not going anywhere.
I was trying to get you guys to lead it somewhere and i just wasn't able to do that so
that's my failing phenomenal now the reveal of the helper they're tied to the show they're part of
the show universe already and they have a weird connection to you gavin i think you're gonna like
who the helper is some people may know them as the fastest applesauce eater around other people
might know them as the guy that dan helped get around. Other people might know them as the guy
that Dan helped get the lasso achievement.
Yeah, the lasso guy.
The lasso guy has been my helper
during the entirety of this.
The lasso guy.
Is he better at following instructions
than he is at Halo?
Oh, he's great at following.
It's one of my favorite things about him.
Whenever there's a bit to be done,
he's all in.
He's fully in
and that has been the planning of the cucumber from my end i don't have any other tricks up my
sleeve i didn't i have cameras i didn't even set them up because i thought it'd be funnier if i
did no prep for you like if you would have come any day i probably wouldn't have seen it but it's
over did uh did your helper spend the night in the hotel make the most of it that's
no that is a fantastic they have a dog so they didn't they couldn't they said that the person
was alarmed when they checked out because they checked in and checked out with the same guy on
the same shift he as soon as we wrapped because i didn't know i was like maybe you guys are gonna
go to the hotel or something i was like like, go. You got to leave.
You got to leave now.
And he's like, okay, I'm on it.
I offered,
I said you could stay if you wanted to,
but he said, I have a dog.
I can't do that.
So he left immediately. If he had gone to the hotel,
we wouldn't have known
what we were looking for though.
We wouldn't have recognized him.
You would have seen a man
with a laptop and a cucumber.
I think it would.
Have Gavin or I ever met this person
in real life?
I don't think so.
Okay.
So it's not somebody we would recognize. That's kind of what I suspected. Have Gavin or I ever met this person in real life? I don't think so. Okay. No.
So it's not somebody we would recognize.
That's kind of what I suspected, is that it was somebody like in your larger friend group
or Jack.
I really, I would have been happy to believe it was Jack.
And I think he would have-
I wanted it to be a thing where Jack was blamed, but I never specifically stated it was him,
but all of my not speakings implicated him further.
Man, I texted both
of you independently of like, hey, did they slack
you yet, Sang? Like, I was trying to build
into that, even in our personal conversation.
Your friend is really nice, because I
would have ordered so much fucking room service
on that room while I was in there.
Well, that would have gone on his own incidentals.
Probably. Oh, well, maybe.
Wow. That is a great
closing to the saga. Yeah.
That was a really fantastic closing
of the saga. I for one thoroughly
enjoyed the whole cucumber
situation.

Can we talk about, you know, last time we were talking about how eric went gray in that um
office day and he was just freaking out and it's yeah yeah i feel like he went even further
after we were discussing the social clip last time and where it should eric i'm so sorry
i just don't like i'm just trying to coordinate so many pieces in so many different directions.
And then like, why would you upload it to a dummy channel?
It makes no sense.
Just to get a laugh out of Jeff and Gavin.
That was all performative.
I'm so sorry.
I almost just quit.
I almost just went, someone else can do this.
I don't want to do it anymore.
Explain what happened.
We had the clip needed to go up.
The clip of It Is F*** Face episode 134 preview.
It needed to go up on our social media.
However, it's too long to go up on Twitter.
So we'll upload it on the YouTube account.
Well, we said you could upload it unlisted.
Right.
Doesn't make any sense to do that.
So was not going to do that from the very beginning.
At no point did I ever have a plan to upload a clip unlisted.
Makes no sense.
Why?
It was just for social.
What?
It's a social clip. What do you mean? Why wouldn't it be unlisted? No, I agree? It was just for social. What? It's a social clip.
What do you mean, why wouldn't it be unlisted?
Nah, I agree with Eric.
Right, because I'm right.
But now this is just a weird
preview. Yeah, I'm thinking about uploading the clip
and making sure nobody sees it.
It's the same amount of people seeing it
as if it was uploaded to Twitter, you fool. No, it's not, because when it's
on the YouTube channel, it'll be
listed for people who subscribe to the
YouTube channel. What you're saying is unlisted and
then tweet it out. The intent was that it would
only be on Twitter and Instagram.
Why was that?
It's not a real video, is it? It's just us talking.
I think it's a real video. I think it's
like five minutes of pure comedy. It's too long.
It's too long to go on Twitter,
so out of necessity, it had
to go on the YouTube channel, and if, it had to go on the YouTube channel.
And if we're going to upload it on the YouTube channel, why unlist it?
All right.
Here's the problem with the YouTube channel that I've been thinking about all week, actually. I used my Christmas time to think about F*** Face a lot.
You should have used your Christmas time way better.
I did.
I mean, I went to Michigan.
I had a f***ing blast.
Fell in love with Michigan even more.
But I have been thinking. went to Michigan I had a fucking blast uh fell in love with uh Michigan even more uh but I uh
I have been thinking the one thing that bugs me about that fucking YouTube channel is
shitty thumbnails like I don't know why we don't have I'm I'm volunteering I'll do it if somebody
whoever handles the uploads uh currently Rooster Teeth can switch out thumbnails. I will go back and remake thumbnails from the Instagram
account for every episode
that we can upload so that there's
consistency because that bugs me.
Another thing which is going to really
or Gavin apparently, I had
a great idea that I think now
maybe not everybody will agree with.
Making that preview
and putting it up, I checked in
with Dave,
who handles our analytics and stuff.
It gave us a pretty good boost to the episode, and I think it served as a good trailer for the episode,
which got me thinking,
we should do that more often.
So I would actually like to see
more of those shitty videos on YouTube,
if possible.
Like, why don't we create trailers
to promote our stuff?
Well, because we don't always talk
about each episode separately.
Yeah. We don't always talk about each episode separately yeah we don't always but we could i could sit down i could sit down and make it i could make
a trailer to put up on sojourn that's like here's why you're gonna want to tune into face this week
that's fine i think that's a good strat yeah i'm just saying if we do that once and stick it up on
youtube along with all the the main stuff like
the episodes and the animated show it's just like well what's that one about it's all a part of the
deep lore man it's got to be archived so we're gonna do a trailer while also having a next on
at the end of the episode yeah but that next one is fake i mean i mean hey andrew no we're not i
mean none of this is gonna happen none of this is gonna come to fruition so it doesn't matter
um but i mean i'm all for it.
Whatever you guys want to do, let's do it.
I just I'm just thinking in 2023, we should promote what we're doing a little bit more.
So anyway, to continue the story.
Jesus Christ.
So wanted to put it up on Twitter.
Couldn't put it up on Twitter.
Put it up.
Tried to put it up on YouTube.
Couldn't get a response from our content ops team.
So while that's happening, trying to get it uploaded.
Andrew has a dummy YouTube account.
So I made.
Sorry, go ahead.
No, no, go ahead.
I was going to say I made when I made the anal passage website.
I also made the anal passage
youtube channel and I just haven't I because I've testimonial videos that I need to turn into a
thing uh which are great I have like four or five of them I might just upload them individually um
anyway I had this channel and I haven't been able to integrate it yet and I thought what a
what a funny way to show that I have this to Jeff and Gavin that Eric will find annoying
I'd say it worked.
I'd say it was a success. Yeah, 100%
mission accomplished. I will say I feel bad.
I didn't mean to annoy you to the extent that
I did, but it was
definitely done as a move that
you're right, it made no sense at all. None.
Zero. Zero reason. Shouldn't have happened.
But it was, once again, sort of like the Slack
thing. I was just being ridiculous.
And you nailed it.
So then we uploaded it.
I finally got it uploaded and I have access.
Myself and Nick both have access to the YouTube channel due to everything that was happening here.
So we have everything that we need when we have to do these things deftly.
It's just that everything was like, just like a Jenga tower
and everything was just stacking on top
and it was all precarious
and the whole time it was falling apart
as we kept building it.
Anyway, it's up there on YouTube.
You can go check it out.
It's the one where Eric is yelling,
screaming at Andrew,
but just looking at Nick,
which is the funniest part.
I rewatched it. Also. I rewatched it.
Also, I rewatched it and I was right the whole time, which is, again, very, that feels good to watch that and go, I was in the right the entire time.
That's good to know.
But there was nowhere and nowhere to look at.
So I just defaulted to looking at Nick and I felt bad for that because I was yelling at Andrew and staring directly at
Nick. He had no recourse.
You were yelling at Andrew through
Nick. I noticed something interesting
that I'm not sure if Andrew noticed in that video.
Did you notice that
Jeff's headphones are off
the entire video?
He's not listening to you until the last
45 seconds.
That's great.
I don't blame him, honestly.
I didn't notice that.
Is that true?
Yeah.
You're like up with your cream on your hand, ready to put it down your pants.
And then you just sit down and start talking to us again without your headphones on.
I had cream all over my hands.
I don't want to cream the headphones.
I can't.
I don't know. Anyway,
the YouTube channel is going to get cleaned up.
Nick is already going to
he's already gone through or started going
through and numbering all of
the episodes so they will show up numbered
everywhere on YouTube.
With seasonality
and everything on there on site on YouTube and on audio. So Nickomenal. With seasonality and everything on there,
on site, on YouTube, and on audio.
So Nick's taking care of that.
Jeff is going to make brand new thumbnails
for every previous episode.
Yeah.
And we're going to get those uploaded ASAP.
So keep an eye out for that.
This is coming out on January 18th,
like right around there.
So that should probably have happened hopefully by now.
So just keep an eye on that.
And, you know, really looking forward to 2023
and the promotion of F*** Face.
I'm working on something too.
What's that?
I'm working on the best of.
You're doing a best of?
Yeah.
A best of what?
F*** Face.
But like just general or like year specific? Season one to five. You're doing a best of? Yeah. A best of what? Face.
But like just general or like year specific? Season one to five.
Or season one to five.
A season one to five best of.
Yep.
When can we expect the season one to five best of?
Ooh, couple of weeks.
Couple?
Wow.
That's actually closer than I anticipated.
I have a lot of questions about this process, but i also don't want to ruin it for
myself oh yeah you you could ask all the questions when you've heard it okay interesting so it's why
gonna be all five seasons in one video or is it a series of videos i'd be one okay is there
something you have planned as far as releasing this, the timing of it? Like, is this leading into something else,
or did you just want it to do a best of?
I was just antsy over Christmas.
That's fair.
I just felt like working on F*** Faith.
Yeah, I get that.
I'm excited.
I'm just going to ask how everybody's Christmas was.
That's what I thought we'd talk about today,
and then we're 44 minutes in.
Yeah, overall pretty good.
I almost flooded my bathtub, but that's yeah overall pretty good almost flooded
my bathtub but outside of that pretty good did you damn up half the tub and forget that like how
did it oh yeah did i damn up half the time i had like a little bit of toilet i think like i grabbed
some toilet paper to blow my nose with didn't end up using it and it just sat on the edge of the tub then i had a
late night bath and i noticed like huh this water's getting really high that's that's odd
and so i turned the flashlight on on my phone the water was level with the top of the tub and
starting to slowly go over the edge the toilet paper had fallen into the tub and got stuck in
the drain and so it was this very nervous, like, okay, first I got to slowly turn the water off.
Me moving to turn the water off knocked water onto the floor.
Then I had to, like, slowly try to unclog the thing with my toes.
So it was in the, like, the overflow drain.
Yeah, it was in the overflow.
It was because the water had gone much above the overflow drain yeah it was in the overflow it was it was because the water had gone
much above the overflow it was overflowing the actual tub at that point um do you real quick
do you live under you like is the below you you still yeah below me you still me okay thank god
there's layers of me why were you why were you taking a bath in the dock oh i i'll you know sometimes
yeah i will say another thing i've realized this is you know you've given me shit about this in
the past i always forget to so with my bath it's a bath shower combination you lift the thing up
to go into shower mode i always forget to knock the thing down but it automatically does it later so like
20 minutes after i have a shower my bathroom will just go like and then all the water will spit out
like it does a clung it like coughs the water out and uh it's great but for whatever reason
the last two times my partner has had a shower it hasn't done that for them and because i get into the tub first
before i turn the water on i've been getting blasted by my shower recently to the point where
i might need to change my routine the last one really got me where i flipped it and i was starting
to kneel down to sit in the tub and just cold water shooting me in the face like it's terrible
it's terrible getting blasted by cold shower water.
So I think I'm going to have to take the approach
going forward of turning it on
before entering. Because I'm sick of it.
I
can't believe we have a new tub story.
Of several. I can't believe
you get into the tub and then turn the water
on. I always turn it on, get the water appropriate,
test it with my foot, and then slide
on in when it's just right. Yeah, we've talked about this before i like to i like to sit as
it fills around me so personal yeah i guess that's true we have discussed that you're right about
that but i might have to change it because i'm sick of getting fucking blasted by this shower
it sucks it's so jarring to be like i'm gonna have a nice relaxing
toasty warm bath and then just cold water in your face immediately.
While it hisses at you.
It's terrible.
I didn't really have anything else happen.
It was a nice Christmas.
Beyond that.
My Christmas was nice.
It was great spending time in Austin with my wife.
Good stuff.
Et cetera, et cetera.
Hey, do you think we won a Signal Award?
Oh, that's a great point.
I doubt it.
I think they fucked us just like they fucked us 20 years ago.
I agree.
Jeff, I definitely agree with you.
They turned off the views for voting before, I think, the 20th or something like that.
And now they announce it.
By the time this is out, they'll have announced if we won or not.
Here's how I feel about it, Eric.
If we win a Signal Award,
then that's fucking awesome,
and congratulations to everybody,
including the audience, for supporting us.
It was definitely a team effort.
And if we didn't win a Signal Award,
I fucking regret sending one ounce of traffic
to those cheating liars.
I'm going to stay on the positive because if we if it turns out that we didn't win one we're going to war
with the signal awards and i don't want to unearth no because even that even going to war with the
signal awards would just be giving them more attention and traffic and it's clear that they
like if i don't like this hiding the yeah i don't know dude let's just see
if we won the stupid thing or not i'm holding back my car we had 80 of the vote before it
so what happened last time uh it was years and years and years ago it was um
it was the streamies right eric and that what gus said uh yeah i think it was yeah it was the
streamies or the webbies it was one of the two i think it was the streamies, right, Eric? Isn't that what Gus said? Yeah, I think it was the Streamys or the Webbys.
It was one of the two.
I think it was the Streamys, but it could have been the Webbys.
It was a million years ago.
Rooster Teeth got nominated for one in very similar fashion.
And we were ahead by like thousands upon thousands of votes.
Like we were destroying.
And then about like a week before it was over,
they took away your ability
to see what the percentages were.
You had to vote blindly.
And then when the award came out,
we didn't win.
And it was just like
such an insurmountable amount.
And then Gus was like,
screw this, screw them.
It was rigged from the beginning.
We're moving on.
We don't care about awards anymore.
And we haven't cared about awards
since that moment, I think.
Gavin, do you think we won?
I'll say no.
I believe.
I don't think the signal is going to screw us like that.
It's the same people.
It's people from the streamies left.
Yeah, in case you didn't know,
it's the people who started this
are the people who fucked us 20 years ago.
I mean, okay.
Well, Rootsy has won streamies before.
Not this one.
I don't think they've ever won the Best Buddy Award.
That definitely has never happened.
Yeah, I think the loss will just be
a personal hit for us because we're just not
we just won't be award winning friends.
We're award nominated friends.
That's pretty good.
Award nominated friends. We're award-nominated friends. That's pretty good. Award-nominated friends.
Look, award-winning friends is great.
Award-nominated friends is such a funny way
to sell this podcast.
Our friendship is award-nominated.
That's pretty impressive.
Yeah, I think it's still valid.
Like, you still see in movie trailers,
like, Academy Award nominee,
this person is in it.
Like, they promote that i think
there's value to the nominee i don't think we're missing out on anything necessarily but i think we
won i don't think they've they would screw us two times don't think it happened well we'll see we'll
see i i don't have a lot of faith who okay say let's say we win let's a perfect world in a perfect
storm where we got 80 of the votes let's see who won um who goes to
accept the award and i don't know if that's even a thing i don't i i think there's like an award
show but what what do we oh andrew i think it's i would nominate the uh lasso guy personally
i i think it should be and i think it should be nick i think it should be Nick. I think it should be Andrew or Greg. Oh, Greg.
Oh, I love the idea of Greg going.
That is very, very funny to me.
Because they're definitely doing a ceremony.
No idea.
Also, have they emailed you, Eric, that we've won or lost?
Because I feel like that's the damning thing.
No.
Because I think they want...
I have my eyes peeled, and I've been talking with our PR to make sure we keep an eye out,
but I haven't heard hide nor hair.
But now I'm just really, now I'm trying to figure out where these signal awards are going
to be and if we can send crank.
Well, my Christmas was
Uneventful, pretty nice, pretty cold
It was a very chilly Christmas
Walked around the neighbourhood
Sort of judging other people's effort in Christmas decorations
As I like to do every year
And then I realised that I want to be
A balaclava guy
But it's not like socially acceptable
Really
To wear a balaclava if you're not robbing a convenience store.
I was hoping that maybe Uniform would get involved and design a balaclava that doesn't look like you're about to commit a crime.
Like maybe someone's face on the front of the balaclava.
Like a friendly balaclava.
Yeah, like a don't worry about me balaclava. Like a friendly balaclava. Yeah, like a don't worry about me balaclava.
I've just got a cold face.
Not a criminal, just cold.
Yeah, I will not rob you
right across the front.
I like this idea.
Or maybe we do like
a kitty cat or something
so it looks cute.
But what would it look like
to have your own face on the front of your
own balaclava i was i was about to say that i think that could be the way we go eric just posted
like an octopus one that's like a balaclava yeah uh that was pretty scary uh whose face should it
be like if we can because we can only pick one face the balaclava. I think it should be Andrew's mustache face.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
It's going to just look like when you would export your face in Rainbow Six,
like the blurriness of it.
Oh, my God.
Eric. I should take the face that I got pasted onto my original Rainbow Six Vegas.
Eric, can you check with
the merch team to see if we can get
Andrew face balaclavas made?
Yeah, I'm gonna send the
I'm gonna send the cheetah balaclava
thing that I just sent and
see if it's something we can screen print.
I would say have a mouth hole though. Like you don't need
it to be a
full cup. Yeah, because your mouth
if you cut out around Andrew's mouth,
then your mouth can take that spot.
Like this.
It has like a little mouth.
Yeah, it doesn't have to look so much like a vagina,
but it can look like a mouth probably.
Like that's not bad.
If you take the barbed wire and the knot off and then you
or like change not to like extra or super nice i think that's that works yeah and i think that
that way i'll be more comfortable because i have one i think i was sent one by the uh
pub g guys at one point and it's so it's so nice to be outside without a cold face and nose and
stuff no i think you're onto something here i'm looking online i'm not seeing a lot of i'm seeing a lot of options to make them extra
scary but none to make them extra friendly oh that was not bad i like this idea i like this
idea too i could try making a test one actually i want to see your test i would love to see the
test one we're getting close to an hour do Do you remember, Gavin, what the name of...
Jeff just sent one that looks like they're being eaten by a frog.
Yeah, it's a happy frog.
I guess that's how I'd describe that.
I would say that's less a happy frog and more it looks like a frog that's shocked to be eating you.
That's how I read that.
Like the frog looks alarmed by everything that's happening.
Oh my god, I get the best one.
Oh my... You're going the best one. Oh my.
You're going to love this.
That's exactly what Gavin's talking about.
Jeff just posted one of it just looks like a human face,
but it's all it looks like fabric.
It looks like raggedy.
And yeah,
if she were a serial killer,
that is terrifying.
That's horrendous.
You pop that on. You're going to be A-OK, Gavin.
Everything about that is so weird.
I don't know what...
That picture could have been taken in a 50-year window.
When was that?
It's got to be very old.
It's got to be very old.
Dude, there's a lot of really there's a lot of really bad ones
oh it's like a whole industry of creepy yeah you have uncovered something horrendous
now that one's kind of awesome i like that one oh no here's a whole family it's like a
almost a turkey thing that he just posted it's like red and yellow
so these are just like fully knitted.
Is that like knitted or crocheted?
I think it's probably crocheted.
Yeah, like these are like crocheted face masks that Jeff has posted.
Yeah, ours would not be crocheted, but goddamn, that's funny.
I like the idea of Slipknot just not wanting to wear their mask one night
and going for the knitted approach on stage.
I'm glad we did this.
We talked about maybe not doing this recording
because we were ahead.
We kind of recorded assuming we wouldn't,
but I'm glad we got together
to do this end of year recap,
which will air in the end of January.
Yeah.
Was this a good episode?
I don't know.
I think it was.
What happened?
Not nothing.
What are you bummed out about? No,? I don't know. I think it was. What happened? Not nothing. What are you bummed out about?
No, I just don't know.
I don't know that we really accomplished anything in this episode.
Other than we ended the cucumber saga.
We established the fireplace.
We accomplished so much.
What do we usually...
Andrew got challenged.
Also, you committed to doing a thumbnail.
I got challenged.
Oh, yeah, by the way,
sorry, one sec.
Gavin, it's back in your court.
It's your
have fun with that. No way!
Yeah, I've been playing while we've been talking
and I set the score back
like 10 minutes ago, so
yeah, have fun. Andrew, that is unreal!
It's back on you, Gavin.
I take back everything I said.
This was an awesome episode as of right now.
Holy shit.
Yeah, I can't make up.
Yeah, we might have to move that fireplace.
Just bring over the Xbox and we'll do it one more time.
Andrew not only did it in less than 24 hours,
he did it in the episode with 30% of his brain power, probably. It took
me about 10 minutes to do, and I did it
while we're talking about the Signal Awards.
I finished it before the... I started
it before that conversation started,
and I finished it before we ended.
I mean, to be fair, it was definitely the easiest
time to beat. It was
the one I had to spend the least time on, but
well, shit. Well, it's back in your court.
Have fun. that's nasty
actually I because I did this the other day I spent like maybe half an hour on it and I was
so worried that you'd spotted me playing it that right before we started recording today I went
and looked at the leaderboard again just to make sure you hadn't pre-beaten me no I didn't notice
I saw I thought you were playing the campaign for Infinite.
I noticed that.
Outside of that,
didn't notice you playing.
But yeah, it's on you.
I'm sure you'll get it back
and then I'll get it back
and it's fine.
Gavin, you have until
about 3.55 p.m. tomorrow,
I guess.
And you're going to be pretty busy
filming a fire.
I don't know why I did that.
I really hate that game.
It's so infuriating.
Yeah, I don't know
why you did that either.
I didn't even think
this was a thing we were doing.
This was a wild move by you.
I just wanted to
have something.
Yeah, that's fair.
Because we also
talked about doing this again
with the Golden Eye remake
that comes.
That should be out soon.
Who knows?
I guess I'm not a release, but there's times in that.
Yeah, it was a wild move by you.
So stupid.
Well, there you have it.
You've listened to you.
You've listened to another so stupid podcast.
The last one we recorded in 2022.
I'm going to assume not counting the the fire video which is definitely happening tomorrow uh because everybody is super on board
with it and way more excited about than i thought they were uh so i'm gonna i'm not gonna be your
i'm gonna i'm gonna i'm gonna dive in and be jazzed about it just like gavin and eric are
uh i hope you guys have a fucking christ was going to wish the audience a happy new year.
I hope you had a great new year's.
I hope you're all your 2023 is off to an awesome start here in the third
week of January or whenever this is airing.
And yeah,
I guess that's about it for us.
What happened to you this episode?
What do you mean?
I think he got broken by the face masks.
I think that took part of him.
That's going to take a while to get back.
These are great.
Look at these.
What do you mean what happened to me?
Nothing happened to me.
Oh, okay.
I put out an awesome podcast.
And thanks for listening to it.
