So you choose any cheese fondue to share, one per cooktop, and then you choose one salad
per person, and then you can add a lobster tail if you want, but it looks like you can
get a filet, there's ravioli.
but it looks like you can get a filet.
There's ravioli.
Do they have nacho hats that you can dip into the fondue yourself?
Are you Homer Simpson nacho man?
I would love that.
That sounds great.
Make your own nachos that are wearable?
Fuck yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, like, this, it could be. Yeah, that.
But you dip your head in the fountain with the hat on oh great how do i
could you imagine the crunch if nfl pads were made out of nacho chips every play that would be
that would be awesome and everyone would be hurt all the time all the time constant well i mean
they have no protection in rugby it's a step up from that and there's not constant but you
you hit different when you're
not wearing pads i think that your mind would be tricked by nachos oh so it's like the bare
knuckle argument for boxing of like less damage because you're you're not protecting okay i can
see that something to think about it is something to think about yep just getting sacked by a guy filled with guac green all over you oh it is time for the show
yeah we got a lot to talk about oh oh we have a oh we have a lot to talk about okay we have
we haven't talked since christmas what's the limit on coffee leftovers i don't know what that
means that what hang on hang on hang on before he explains what do you think coffee leftovers
okay okay i think what he's saying is he made coffee this morning and he left it and now six
hours later can you reheat it and drink it correct yes i agree okay no oh i say yes absolutely no
it's so bitter if it sits all day uh you just put like a little cream and sugar in there.
Like reheat it.
A little cream and sugar and you're good.
Yeah.
Even worse.
All right.
Good info.
That's I think two.
What was that?
Oh, that wasn't two to one.
That was one to one.
It's a tie.
Yeah, yeah.
That's a one to one.
That's a tie currently.
So I guess it's all up to Andrew.
Yeah.
Yeah, go ahead, Andrew.
I'm indifferent.
All right.
Anything else?
It's fine. Yeah, Nick's a fucking'm indifferent. All right. It's fine.
Yeah, Nick's a fucking animal.
He would eat anything.
It would be three weeks old, and Nick would be like, yeah, it's fine.
Unless Gracie comes in with a swooping no, then I'm going to drink this.
All right, Gracie?
I don't drink coffee, so I feel like I'm a bad judge of this.
All right.
Gracie and I.
There we go.
We're two indifference.
Well, it sounds like it's two to one.
You should drink your old dregs. I mean like it's two to one. You should drink your old dregs.
I mean, it's two to one to two, but...
If you go indifferent, Nick, we will have a majority in indifference, which is great.
Yeah, I don't care.
Do what you want.
There we go.

There you go.
113, what episode number is this?

Hello, and welcome to another episode
of the F*** Face Podcast.
My name is Jeff Ramsey and with
me as always, Andrew Panton and
Gavin Free. Welcome to episode
189. I forgot
to do the intro. I'm so
happy to be here. We haven't done this in a
while, so that makes sense, Jeff. Yeah, this is
our true New Year episode, even
though the one that came out after New Year
was a while ago. I haven't talked to either of you
since Christmas. How long has it been
since we've done this podcast? December 20th
was the last
recording. It is now
January 4th. It is now 15 days ago? Yeah.
Oh, it feels like a year to me. Didn't
we record something together last week?
Well, we did Let's Play stuff,
but not like the podcast.
It's a different thing.
Oh, okay.
There you go.
Sorry, it's all starting to run together.
We don't like to be too far ahead.
Yeah, no, we definitely don't want to be too far ahead.
How is everyone's Christmas?
Everyone have a good Christmas?
Stubbly.
I know this is stubble.
Oh.
Is it still stubbly?
It's not the best.
Oh, no.
I will say that the good days are over.
The salad days are long gone.
All the benefits have gone,
but a lot of the cons are still around.
Gavin, if you're ready for round two,
I can always contact Elise,
and we can go back and do it again.
I don't think I've got enough tuggage.
You might have to wait a little longer.
Yeah.
That's an interesting question.
What is the minimum amount needed for tuggage?
Is there a length requirement?
I don't think there is.
Well, to an extent.
I think once you're past the stubble phase,
I think you could probably do it again.
I'd assume.
So you got yourself stubble for Christmas, Gavin.
What did everybody else get for Christmas?
Jeff, you never reacted to the Christmas gift I got you.
I'm very hurt.
My feelings are hurt.
Oh, you got a gift?
I sent Jeff a Christmas gift.
Did you send me a Popsic shirt?
Yeah, I did.
I saw it.
I was scrolling on Twitter.
I saw there was a sale for Jeff merch made me think of
you I thought you know what I didn't know what to get Jeff he's gonna definitely love one of his
own shirts also on sale so I I really appreciate it I appreciate that you're a crafty and thrifty
consumer you know you know me very well you know what I like I like. I like me. I like me stuff.
Thank you very much. I appreciate that.
I didn't see how that could go wrong.
I assumed it was from
you because it was from Don Zimmer.
That's how I send stuff to you.
Yeah.
I just haven't had a chance to talk to you yet.
Thank you very much, Andrew. You're welcome. It really meant a lot.
Yeah. I'm glad.
It was great savings for me, too.
It was all around a great gift.
Excellent.
You can't complain about that.
I also sent you something else
because I had a little bit of a panic recently.
I've been deep on the adult Happy Meal train
because they're giving out these collectible nugget buddies you
talking about the kirwin frost figures nugget i'm talking about those right there with you buddy
right there with you no i i didn't expect to get hooked in the way i did and now i'm stuck and it's
made me almost consider being a blind box guy which is terrifying because that feels like a
very expensive hobby it's also i can't from what the research I've done on blind boxes.
I can't do it in a way that makes me happy because you can either it seems by a blind box or by a by a set that is all of them guaranteed.
And I don't want either.
I want all of them, but I don't want to know that I'm getting all of them.
So it's like this impossible dilemma for me for getting into this hobby. But thankfully
I won't. But I've been buying nugget buddies
and trying to get them all. I got the
gold one, which is like the rarest.
What is that? What are you talking about?
So McDonald's is doing this promotion where
you can get adult Happy Meals where it's either
a 10-piece nuggets and a medium fries
or a Big Mac and a medium fries.
And it comes with a Kerwin
Frost toy and it is like a collectible nugget buddy. And it comes with a Kerwin Frost toy.
And it is like a collectible nugget buddy.
And there's six of them.
But there's also a Chase nugget
that is like the rarest of the figures to get.
So I've been trying to get a full set
and I've been doing it for a while.
And I went to McDonald's to get an adult Happy Meal.
I ordered it.
Put it in the chat.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, so you see you got all...
Oh, they're great
get out of here well kermit frost has a pencil on his face perfect it's also like something that
once you open it hold it in your hand i feel like it's a different experience than just seeing it
but totally i went to get an adult happy meal and the store told me that the promotion was over
and i i am missing two i'm missing the kirwin one and I am missing two.
I'm missing the Kerwin one and I'm missing Darla who has the lovely yellow earmuffs.
How many did it take for you to get four?
Let's say 10 plus.
Wow.
Somewhere between 10 and 13, I would say.
So you've been happy-mealing left and right.
I've been happy-mealing left and right i've been happy
mealing left and right and so have you hacked any of those orders or just boxed uh no you can only
hack the morning happy meal orders for the extra hot cake there's no hack in the uh lunch or dinner
of the kids meal selection but i was told the promotion was over and I have the gold one. I have the rare one, but I'm just missing the two normal chase ones.
And so I went into a full panic.
As soon as I got home, I checked Uber Eats to see if there were any other McDonald's in the area that still had it listed.
And I ordered 15 of them just in an immediate to try to guarantee that I got my set.
You're a maniac.
The problem was I forgot that I had considered ordering two the day before,
so I ended up ordering 17 adult nugget Happy Meals.
Oh, you had cart dregs?
I don't know what that is.
Cart dregs.
You left shit in your cart, yeah.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you did i did i absolutely did so i got i got 170 nuggets sent to me and 17 of these nugget
buddies it took nine mcdonald's bags to deliver the food i I got roasted by a very nice Uber driver
who told me
that they saw the order and
thought it was a mistake, but then they saw
the address and thought, no, that might be
possible.
And they said it in the nicest tone, but
it fucking got me.
There's only
two places in the world where that's not a mistake it's your house or trump's white
house yeah he's like 17 that has got to be oh smith street oh no i know exactly
so i got all my nugget buddies it i was in a nugget hell as giving eric updates throughout
the week i i lived off of nuggets for eight days. I eventually got through them.
But the thing about the nugget buddies,
Gavin is you don't just get a toy.
You get a trading card with it,
which I think is awesome.
And so what I did is I put all of my nugget buddies.
It's like I've 17.
I want to say maybe a few other ones.
I just haven't opened and I've mailed them all to jeff so he can open them on
the break show and i can see if i get the kirwin one i'm missing in darla and then we're gonna
save all the cards and jeff is gonna send them to psa to see if we could get a psa graded 10
nugget buddy card this might be taking a relatively simple thing and giving it the worst carbon footprint of all time.
So, can I ask you a question, Andrew?
Yeah, of course.
Have you already sent the nuggets?
They've already sent.
So they've left your control.
They've left.
They're in the mail.
They are headed to your address.
Well, I'd now like to speak to the audience.
I am in possession of 17 very rare Nugget Buddies
that have been owned by a celebrity.
I can't say who,
but if anyone in the community is interested in buying one
or all of these, hit me up,
because I'm flush with Nugget Buddies,
and I got to unload these things fast.
And if I don't, I'm going to have to go down to a gas station,
pop open my trunk, and try to sell them like speakers.
My boss is going to be so mad if I come back with all these Nugget Buddies.
Well, so this is a tough sell.
Someone who's been in the McDonald's sauce market,
it is the reselling of McDonald's specialty goods.
Not easy.
I am 100% kidding, Andrew.
I'm very excited to open up your Nugget Buddies.
I had a similar journey with Adult Happy Meals over the holiday.
I went from Austin to Alabama to visit my family,
and then from Alabama to Michigan to visit Emily's family,
and then back home.
So I figured, what if I only eat Happy Meals in Alabama and Michigan?
Between Alabama, Michigan, and Texas, I'm bound to get the full set, right?
It's like how truck drivers always have
the unfair advantage in the Monopoly game
because they're traveling across the country
to get in different regions.
So I figured maybe I'd get lucky.
It only took me eight Happy Meals
to get all six.
That's fucking insane.
I'm so mad.
Kerwin Frost was the very first one I pulled.
The only one I don't have is the Golden Nugget,
which is unfortunate,
but I got the main six,
and I have a duplicate of Darla,
so I will send that to you either way.
But for the purposes of making it excited
on the break show,
we'll try to pull it there.
I'm excited.
I can't wait to see this happen.
It's probably going to be a few weeks, I imagine.
I think I paid for eight business day shipping, so if next week you should get it the following no it was might be the fastest i've
gone from what a stupid thing to touching like you were saying earlier to holding the kirwin
frost action figure in my hand and going i need five more of these right yeah they're great i must
have all of these it's for me for me, it's the boxing.
The packaging is so cute.
And I love the fact that it's wrapped in like the hamburger paper.
That's so cute.
Like there's so many nice little details to it.
The trading card is great.
Like it's just everything about it is awesome.
I've been all in on these fucking nugget buddies.
Do you think that all the protein you're getting from all this food has helped jack up your hands?
I have.
So I need to talk to Jeff about that.
Jeff and I both bought a thing for measuring grip strength.
I feel like the move is you and I do it now, like at the start.
Don't tell anyone.
And then we do.
We recircle back on this in December and we see how much we've improved and then compare
it to the base standard that eric and gavin just naturally i think that if you i think we need to
send it to like an impartial observer like you need to send your grip strengths to like gracie
so that way it's a recorded number somewhere okay just slack it to gracie and say grip strength this
oh yeah and then it should be in an then Gracie can put it in an envelope.
I can bring
my grip strength-er in
and do it in front of Gracie.
I don't.
Gracie says perfect.
Fantastic.
I can do my grip strength
in front of you. Perfect.
Andrew will FaceTime well we need everything to be above board
we're not going to be fucking Russia
in the Olympics this is going to be no cheating
everything submitted properly
so now this is just a tester
after I get this then i have
to then we have to actually do the find a device to do the work yeah can i can i put dog medicine
on my hands to make my hands tougher oh you want to be the dog medicine guy there's a guy on tiktok
i'm super into who puts dog medicine on his hands to make his hands tougher every day. And then he says,
why am I doing this?
Cause I'm the guy who punches rocks.
And then you go,
Oh,
okay.
And then that's,
it's great.
I think we should do that.
Yeah.
I saw,
I saw a lot of that guy on New Year's Eve.
Thanks to Eric.
Should we talk about New Year's Eve at some point?
Sure.
Oh my God.
Let's talk about New Year's Eve.
Yeah.
Uh,
we realized that we weren't doing anything for New Year's Eve,
so we just invited Eric and his small wife,
and then Burndog and Vanessa, who basically live at our house.
Oh, by the way, Vanessa got a gold medal.
Yeah, I saw it there.
I was very impressed.
Nice.
It was very cute.
Fucking Nick back there.
And then Gavin and Meg.
And I completely forgot it was New Year's Eve until the countdown.
I was just hanging out watching.
We almost missed it.
We almost missed it.
I felt so lame afterwards.
Emily was like, I had champagne and sparkling apple juice for you.
And we completely forgot to pop it.
Burn Dog was taking it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was the shit.
And we did the lamest thing.
I've turned into one of the lamest human beings on earth, and I don't care.
I'm so happy with it.
Burndog and I have been doing this thing where we sit on the sofa and we pull up YouTube and we search YouTube for cool vids.
They are those two words.
And then we watch everything that comes up.
They have there's a giant TV in this house
and cool vids was searched
and then you watch it
and then Burn Dog goes,
yo, have you seen this one?
And he searches unusual memes
and then we're just watching videos.
It's like watching TikTok
but it's on a giant TV
and it just keeps going. Yeah, it's like watching tiktok but it's on a giant tv and it just keeps going yeah it's
it's 20 like like 66 of the screen is black because it's vertical and it's all just funny
videos that cut like three or four frames after the event it's very fast paced that's yeah it's
uh it's basically like a curated tiktok anyway before that we we've been doing two
things we do that and we watch home tours of houses in gross point michigan we just like
sit for two minutes and just comment on a home tour we let them auto play these are houses that
sold nine years ago i don't know why but we've just gotten into that it's very funny to us
but i couldn't bring myself to do that in front of the other guys so we started searching cool
vids and i just kind of wanted to say,
I thinking about it afterwards,
uh,
I'm sorry.
I apologize for having that be the,
the form of entertainment on New Year's Eve was sitting around and watching
cool vids on YouTube.
I mean,
did anyone have a problem with it?
I feel like we're all super.
I didn't,
I had a time in my life.
I just want to make sure it wasn't the last time you guys come over.
No,
no.
I thought it,
I deny the time of my life.
I just want to make sure it wasn't the last time you guys come over.
No, no.
I thought it was totally fine and just felt like I was back to being like 19 years old.
Where it was just people going, have you seen this?
No.
Have you seen this?
No.
And then watching a bunch of videos for a long time.
Do you think any of the turds came out of Burned Dog's anus in 2023 but landed in 2024?
I think there's a really good chance.
It's definitely possible, it sounds like.
I think that's a really good chance.
You can't rule it out.
And I wouldn't want to ask.
I want to live in a world where that's just true.
So many fucking notes today.
How many notes do you guys have?
Do you guys have tons of notes?
Like nine.
Yeah. Do a note, G of notes? Like nine. Yeah.
Fucking do a note,
Gaff.
We'll take,
we'll do note turns.
You do a note.
The richer people are,
the shittier their Christmas trees look.
Really?
Just an observation that I've seen on Instagram.
Oh,
that's an Instagram.
There's some like yucky tat out there
when you've got like 18-foot ceiling,
people really fill them with just god-awful, hideous trees.
The bigger the space, I feel like the more work is required
to put into the tree, for sure.
Because the tree has to fit within the room,
and then it becomes a whole.
It stacks.
The problem of it stacks.
Growing up, my favorite toy that wasn't a toy
was the salad spinner.
Salad spinner's a great toy that isn't a toy.
It's an amazing toy.
It was better than so many of my toys.
Yeah.
And the context in which you're using it
is like you're doing work,
so then it just adds fun to
where there shouldn't be fun, necessarily, as a kid.
It feels like you're trying to start a lawnmower
every time you use it.
Yeah, like as a kid,
there's nothing exciting about salad
but the salad spinner.
Just fucking slam that thing
like you're trying to go back in time.
Well, I am a bit of a salad boy,
but yeah, no, I agree with you.
The salad spinner is definitely.
But even as a kid,
were you always a salad guy?
Yeah, here's the deal, man.
When I was a kid, I was really into ham and olives.
Okay.
Ham fan.
Big ham fan, right?
He was a ham fan.
Ham and croutons and olives were like three of my favorite foods,
and salad was the easiest way to get those.
So, yeah, I was pretty into salads early.
I used to pop Batman in and watch him stick to the sides.
Gracie said I used to eat croutons from the bag as a snack.
I still try.
Still do.
Still do.
Absolutely.
It's a great,
it's a very valid snack.
Three days ago when I couldn't find any candy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's, it's like not necessarily,
I rarely am going in for the croutons but i'll
open the pantry and if they're they're there you don't get like crunched out there like no i've
eaten nine of these and now i need something that's not so crunchy no because it's typically
like you're it's there's different flavoring on it so i feel like it it works like it's not just
a plain crouton it's got like some parmesan on it. It's got seasoning. It's got butter. It's buttery. Gracie said no idea.
100. Alright, so when are we doing the 100
crouton challenge?
I will out-crouton you.
I will out-crouton you, Gracie.
There's no way.
We are going to have a crouton off.
This is the first challenge of 2024
right here. I'm throwing down the gauntlet, Gracie.
Me and you, crouton. You pick
the crouton. I'm going to tear and we'll go crazy now are you like I'll drink between no
that's gonna be no liquid no liquid it's just no no liquid ten minutes how many
croutons I reckon 25 minutes 25 minutes someone's gonna get okay I mean whatever
wait my new puppy oh also we're we're
not supposed to know the name of this dog still and jeff almost told me the name today
i didn't tell you the name i almost told gus no i'm in a room with gus and gus asked what the name
was and right as jeff was about to say it i looked at Gus and I went, I'm not supposed to know the name. And then Jeff went, I almost said it!
I almost said it!
Luckily, my first inclination
when anybody asked me what the,
I have a little baby pet bulldog,
what the bulldog's name is, is Henry.
And so I have to catch myself, I go, hit, uh.
And then it was in the uh that I caught myself.
I tried to get the name by just constantly referring to it
as a different name throughout
New Year's Eve and seeing if Jeff and Emily looked at each other or anything.
I probably called it 150 different things.
I told you.
I'll tell you when you guess it.
Yeah.
I'm not going to.
If you guess the name, I'm not going to lie about it.
I feel like the dog will come to you if you say the correct name.
Like, you just got to just keep talking to the dog.
I don't think we got close, but we did throw out a few names where Jeff and Emily were like, oh, that's a way better name. Like, you just gotta just keep talking to the dog. I don't think we got close,
but we did throw out a few names where
Jeff and Emily were like,
oh, that's a way better name.
Oh, I should've named it.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
There were a few
that were apparently
just better names.
And it's like,
well, then come to us
for help.
We're here.
Did anything get close?
Yeah, Nick,
there was one
that was a little close.
Ooh!
There was one
that was in the same vein. andrew do you want to go over
any of your notes if not i got a bunch uh i could talk about what i did for new year's because i i
learned something uh you're talking about boring ass things to do on new year's i watched the movie
new year's for the first time i've never seen it it felt appropriate let me drop the poster in
unless somebody else can beat me to doing that
New Year's
I don't know if you remember
2009, 2010
11-ish there was a run
of holiday event films
that were all made by Gary Marshall
so he did like Valentine's Day
Is it called New Year's Eve?
Yes it is called New Year's eve it is one of those
chris in it and hillary it does it's one of those ensemble movies but uh you may notice
is that bon jovi is in it uh he doesn't he so it's very weird where ryan seacrest plays ryan
seacrest but bon jovi plays a rock star named Jasper. I believe he plays a fictional version of himself with a different name,
but the main takeaway I had watching new year's Eve.
And it was a great lesson is all of John Bon Jovi scenes is with mainly
Catherine Heigl.
I would say,
and Bon Jovi is one of the worst actors I've ever seen,
but I also don't think Catherine Heigigl is a great actress but measured against the
incompetence of bon jovi really showed the skill of like what average looks like it's like if you
were to take the worst guy in the nba and put him against average people he would look like an all
star like it made me appreciate what bad acting but knowing how to act is
like that's still that is a skill
there's a level to that that I didn't
it's like she's not good at it
but she showed up in the right
clothes and is playing the right sport
and it feels like she's doing the
thing where Bon Jovi just doesn't feel
like a human at all like it's
so bad
when he had a thinner head yes yeah it's so bad it's not a great one when he had a thinner head
yes
yeah it's before all the growth hormone
yeah who is that in the hood in the
beanie in the middle
oh that that's
the guy that cameos in all of
his movies he was in pretty woman
is like the hotel
guy like the guy the manager
he's not like a big actor,
I would say.
And is that,
who's that to the right of him
with the hat on?
That is very weirdly casted,
or not Lief Schreiber.
What's his name?
He was in Inglourious Basterds.
Till Schreiber is his name.
Yes, him.
Yeah.
Yeah, he plays a character
that doesn't really matter.
But that was my New Year's Eve
was watching that film,
which is terrible terrible but in the
way you want it to be terrible and it was great to see bon jovi attempt to act which i've never
seen before and and luckily don't think i will ever see again he doesn't do many acting jobs
he was in 30 rock he was in one episode i saw that yeah so was he so did you like the movie though
uh it's what you want from one of those movies
if that makes sense like if you go to a hallmark movie it's like it hits that that's what i was
looking for so robert de niro plays a dying man who just wants to see the ball drop one last time
and that's a very unintentionally funny storyline where he he he dies watching it drop and it's supposed to be emotional, but it's just hilarious.
He's like, in a wheelchair at the end.
I can't imagine having a dying wish that is something I've done 70 times already.
Well, that's the thing.
He hasn't done it in a long time and he picked the hospital to die in because it had a great view from the roof of the
ball dropping watching the fucking ball drop that's like saying i haven't had chicken noodle
soup in a long time i want to have chicken noodle soup one more time before i want to die my face in
the bowl it's a fucking boring lame uninteresting unexciting thing to do what's the origin of that
thing i've i never understood it i thought when everyone was talking about the bull drop,
I assumed something would like fall,
but it's so slow.
Like what's the point of the damn thing?
Dude, it is.
And when I lived in Jersey,
I had friends that would do it.
You would have to get to Times Square
at like five or six in the morning
and then just fucking stand there until midnight.
And people wear like diapers and shit because you can't
go anywhere. You're crammed in
there. There's no leaving. There's no moving.
You give up your spot. Your spot's gone.
There's 500,000 people trying to
cram in ahead of you. Like when you're there,
you're fucking there. It is a level
of commitment to stand there for 60
seconds in the cold, smelling
gross people to watch a ball fall
in slow motion.
I don't get it.
Do you think it should be assigned standing?
Like, buy tickets?
No, I just think people should want to participate in it less.
It really...
It is...
I always assumed that it would hit midnight
and then the ball would, like, dramatically drop.
Not that it slowly descends as midnight hits.
I want it to slam into the street like a meteor.
Like, explode. Yeah. I want it to slam into the street like a meteor. Like explode.
Yeah.
I mean, we watched the conk drop at Sloppy Joe's.
We did.
In the middle of cool vids,
we switched over and watched a little bit of Sloppy Joe's.
That's fantastic.
Also dropped slowly and not very impressively.
Yeah, I'm thinking I'm i'm gonna start petition to speed
up the balls for a new year okay like how long should it should we start counting at like
five yeah let's because at the moment it goes it starts going at like 40 seconds left yeah or 20
seconds left maybe what if what if the ball was going up as the time went down, and then when it hit zero,
it went from the top and slammed back down?
That would be cool.
Awesome.
That's like that Doctor Doom ride at Universal Studios.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Yeah, I like that.
It'd be like Thor's hammer slamming into the ground.
I have one other note that I could transition to that I think you're going to love, Jeff, especially.
This is something we haven't talked about.
Gavin and I were discussing shirts the other day.
Oh, I saw the prototype.
And I asked Gavin.
Gavin hasn't seen it yet.
I said to Gavin, why do shirts have fronts and backs?
Like, what is there has to be a
reason for a shirt to have a back but i feel like whenever i'm putting a shirt on i always put it on
backwards and then i have to spin it around and it's just an annoyance it's sort of like the whole
your left sock thing jeff every time my shirt is on backwards so my immediate response was like
surely it needs a back to have a spot for the label or the
information and then i was like wait why does it need information yeah you're like could it be on
the side is it allowed to be on the side of the shirt what are the laws of the shirt tag um so i
went to tony who knows a lot more about i mean everything i guess than we do uh and i asked him
and he gave me a bunch of reasons but he also didn't definitively
know and so he brought it up to ari who is like the lead designer for merch and he was captivated
by this idea and immediately he was like i had other plans i'm going home right now to sew shirts
together and see what this is about to see what will happen if you do this. And so I'm going to put photos in right now
of the shirts that he made.
This is a double front shirt.
So this is from the front.
Looks totally normal.
Looks like your standard front of shirt.
But then you got a side profile.
And best of all, here is the front back of the shirt
that you could see.
Double fronts.
So this isn't that old front back shirt that we made a while back.
This is a front front shirt.
This is an all fronts shirt.
No back.
But in the process of doing that,
he had the realization that he could also make an all back shirt.
So these are the backs of the front shirt.
These are two backs sewed together.
Backpack shirt is so insane.
You got a double backpack shirt.
Why does the backpack look so weird?
Because the back is higher.
The back's higher than the front,
so you got two high spots.
I'm not a fan of the backpack shirt
at all but i oh i love the back i love it dude front front front whatever i think front no
funny idea backpack insane all about the backpack shirt well we need to further innovate in this
because tony brought up the idea of having it double-sided,
double front, double-sided, double back.
So inside out, either direction is appropriate to wear.
Zero.
Oh.
Zero direction needed.
Could you have it so that the fronts were on the outside
and the backpack was on the inside?
And you could flip it inside out and have the backpack how would you
do that though because the neckline on the backpack is different than yeah so i think you
would have you could have one shirt that no matter how you put it on is always right or you turn it
inside out and no matter how you put it on, it's always wrong. Yeah.
Well, yeah.
I think the real winner here is the reversible front front. So you have four
fronts.
If you're really fucking
dirty, you can wear that shirt four days
in a row and the front of it's clean four times.
Think about all the laundry you'll save.
This is going to be an expensive shirt but
the value is going to be tremendous you're buying four shirts yeah there's got to be a way to figure
out how to make it when you switch it it becomes two backs maybe like the inside neckline can fold
up tracks yeah yeah i don't know i'm sure tony will hear this and experiment further this is
like having ari do this is so fucking fun this is like he's so talented and he's like
jacked and does jujitsu and climbs mountains and like is an artist it has a degree and then you
went what if shirt has two fronts and he went i'm on it and you know what
he climbed front front mountain and when he was at the top of front front mountain he found
backpack mountain he he didn't just find front front mountain he came up with i what i think
is such a funny idea and i don't know if this is possible he doesn't know i don't think we need to
further experiment he brought up doing a front front back back hoodie so you'd have two you'd have a front pouch and a back pouch or you would have double
hoods a front hood and a back hood and i think that's such a funny idea and i don't we don't
know if that's a possibility yet,
but I fucking hope it can be done.
Cause if you want to take a nap in the airport,
you just put up your front hood and then put the back up.
Lock your face in just the idea of two pouches.
It's all,
it looks so stupid in my head that I really feel like there's no limits to
this.
Like,
you know how some people turn their baseball
caps backwards? Yeah.
Have one on both sides. Or a quad
bill. A double.
A quad bill would just be like a big
sun hat, wouldn't it?
You could have four different
sports in one hat.
You could have different teams. You could
rotate. Yeah. You could be like, if you're
LA, you could have the Dodgers, the Lakers, the
fucking Rams, and the Clippers, and you just
spin on which game you're going to.
It sounds like we have a whole clothing line to
release of multiple angles.
I hope that we can make this happen.
If we're doing quad brim,
I've only seen Yankee Cat
no brim, so I'm so excited
about what a quad brim
hat could bring us in the future this is oh
i'm thrilled this is i i just don't know if this can extend to pants it feels like the front and
back of pants are so close but i'm excited to see where we can go and where we can take this
you know what i mean this is great yeah for sure big time yeah we're making some advancements in clothing especially
with this beanie we've got now we really are and we uh i think since we recorded last we
no no we had already filmed the season two of does it do before yeah but i don't know if we've
talked about it it comes out on the 29th of january holy shit and because shady rays sponsored it
shady ray said do more Does It Do, please.
And they paid for it, so you get it for free.
Insane.
Insane.
It'll be on the F*** Face channel.
It'll go out on Mondays, I think.
We actually had a little preview.
We watched one on New Year's Eve,
just because I was telling Jeff,
I thought it was funny, I was proofing it,
and then we all just watched it,
and it's a real ridiculous one.
The one we watched was about topic.
That's another one of those moments where I thought about after.
And I thought, you idiot.
Did you really just have a bunch of people over and then make them watch your funny video?
And I was like, we all work together.
I guess it's not.
Yeah, we all know what's going on.
Yeah, I felt dumb after that.
I guess it's not.
Yeah, we all know what's going on.
Yeah, I felt dumb after that.
What I was going to say is further proof that the innovations that we're discovering in Does It Do
are being applied in the real world
through F*** Facing Uniform, Uniform,
Quarantine of the Power, One Weather, Fabric Uniform, Uniform.
And it's just great to see it.
It's great to see the fruits of all these labors
as we grow, you know?

I can't believe I'm about to do this,
but here is the ad for Cosmic Crisp
apples. Get to know our favorite regulation apple, the Cosmic Crisp. If you know, you know. It is a
classically bred cross of the Honeycrisp and Enterprise varieties, and it's non-GMO. I'm not
entirely sure what GMO is, but I know I don't like it. Cosmic Crisp apples pack a flavor that is a perfect balance of sweet and tart,
making them versatile for all the ways you want to enjoy apples.
For instance, we were supposed to do it today, but we're going to do it next week.
Everybody's going to come over to my house, and we're going to have an apple pie making contest,
which is going to be interesting because the only rule is that we're not allowed to use recipes,
and none of us know how to make apple pies.
But I do know that whatever we make is going to taste better because Cosmic Crisp apples
will be inside it.
It's also available in all seasons at grocery stores nationwide.
And it's an American original born and bred right here in Washington state.
After more than 20 years of research and development at Washington State University, when was the
last time you researched anything for 20 years?
Think about that.
It's a bunch of really smart people
devoting two entire decades of,
they rolled up their sleeves, you know,
they unbuttoned their top button,
they put their heads down,
and they started working on apples.
They started working on cosmic,
they started working on crisp,
and they didn't look up again until it was 20 years later.
And when they did look up, in their hands,
they had
the Cosmic Crisp. Learn more about Cosmic Crisp by going to their website where they have like
recipe ideas. They'll help you figure out where to buy apples if you don't know. It's a pretty
awesome site. They're also on social media, and they love to hear from regulation listeners and comment
leavers.
Check them out on X.
Check them out on Instagram.
I think on Instagram, they are the Cosmic Crisp.
And on X, I think they're Cosmic Crisp Apple.
And I know you've heard us talk about this in the past, but they last a very long time.
They are designed to be slow to brown, giving you more time to enjoy them when
you are ready, not when it's ready. But when you're ready, you're going to find a super crisp,
exceptionally juicy, beautifully bicolored apple. It's got these things called lint cells that I
have just learned about through this ad read. I had to look them up. And that's what gives it the
look of like a starry night sky. And let's be honest,
haven't we all wanted to eat the sky a little bit?
Just take a big bite out of the stars?
That's Cosmic Crisp for you.
Oh, also, I think they're going to have merch launching soon. So go to their website, again, CosmicCrisp.com
and maybe pick up Apple shirts.
So thank you to Cosmic Crisp for making the regulation Apple
and thank you to Cosmic Crisp for supporting this podcast.
We love you.

What are some things that you want to keep the same about yourself or your new life in
2024?
Where are you already killing it?
Think of the opposite of New Year, New You.
Because around New Year's, we get obsessed with these ideas about how to change ourselves
instead of expanding on what we're already doing right.
Like, like everybody wants to have a new year's resolution but maybe
the resolution you need is to continue doing stuff you're already doing well maybe you finally
organized one part of your space and now you want to tackle another or maybe you've been really good
about taking your your vitamins and supplements every morning and now you want to add in breakfast
too therapy helps you find your strengths like that so that you can ditch those extreme resolutions and then make changes that
will actually stick. I don't know about you, but I have, I didn't do it this year, but I've made
New Year's resolutions most of the years of my life and I don't know that I've kept any of them.
Probably because I wasn't focusing on the right things. I have been in therapy for more than a decade now, probably 15 years or so.
And I have to say, it has been such a stabilizing force in my life, whether I'm trying to navigate a really complex, painful personal issue, or just looking for a little bit of insight
into some life-changing career decisions I might want to
make. Therapy has been there for me. My therapist has been there for me to really help guide me
along. And I don't know what I would do without it. I really don't. So if you're thinking of
starting therapy, give BetterHelp a try. It is entirely online. It's designed to be convenient.
It's flexible, and it's suited to your schedule. Just fill out a brief questionnaire.
You'll get matched with a licensed therapist,
and then you can switch therapists at any time for no charge
if it's not like a perfect fit.

It feels like 2024.
I didn't know what held for face,
but front, front, back, back,
and potential front, front, back, back hoodie
while we have zipper beanie.
I think if we can get an in front out back shirt it's gonna be absolutely phenomenal
just feels like the sky's the limit right now does it do is coming out
we had a meeting where we just went over a bunch of like new ideas and um jeff scrawled it all out
in like serial killer handwriting on a big whiteboard it's really great stuff it only took
us three years as a show to have a creative meeting that was not like us recording a content
piece hey dude and it was putting all the ideas it's what i really wanted to get together and do
it putting all the ideas together on one whiteboard and seeing what we just have floating out there
that we've already talked about was staggering there's probably 70 things on that board to fill
well it got to the point where eric actively wanted you to stop writing stuff down like you
just started writing drafts at one point draft ideas and i was like stop stop it's gonna fill
the whole board stop it was they would have just taken up so much real estate and it's like well
we know we're gonna do drafts we know we're gonna do yeah i just want to you just want to get a
couple a couple of the easy good ones out ideas out on paper just so they're there so they're you
know they're cemented the top we're i i don't know that we'll ever post a picture of the board
whatever it it's in our office the top of it is giant letters and the bottom of it is the smallest
letters you've ever seen we had more ideas than i initially thought we also within eight
eight seconds of you writing we uh we already had to like rub stuff out because we couldn't
understand it yeah i it's i know i listen i can't defend my handwriting. It bothers me more than it bothers you, I promise you.
Why don't you take a calligraphy course?
Oh, yeah. Why don't you go fuck yourself? How about that?
All right, well, that was...
Why don't you go sign up and take a fucking class in your 30s, asshole?
48 years old.
No, good point. You'll be too busy stuffing your face
with croutons to be worried about calligraphy.
You know what? A great question
about the croutons. Do they need to be the same flavor?
Do they need to be identical?
Yeah, I'll match whatever Gracie
has. If Gracie wants a smorgasbord
of like 12 different flavors mixed into a bowl,
I'm fine with that too. Whatever.
Any and all croutons will be fine for me.
I don't care. How many do you think
we need to get? 200?
Yeah.
500? She does want that.
I'll be honest with you, Gracie. I kind of do too.
When should we film this?
Next week? Tomorrow?
I mean, probably next week.
Tomorrow we're doing a bunch of let's play stuff
aren't we i mean we haven't i think so i think it's for let's let's let's do some trucks yeah
oh yeah we gotta do trucks we're doing trucks i think we're gonna do trucks tomorrow everybody
make sure your trucks is updated um oh speaking of i was playing trucks last night and we're
talking about 2024 and and looking ahead and what it's gonna be burndog reminded me he we were
playing trucks and he said, Hey,
I haven't heard an update on the,
on your hot dog races in a while.
What's going on with the Plinko machine?
What's going on with Gavin wanting to shoot the hot dog over the building with the two strong gun.
I want to know.
And I was like,
Oh shit,
we definitely shouldn't drop the ball on that.
I also had another idea when we do it, we could do a luge.
At least to drop it slowly.
We could do a mustard luge. That way the hot dog is getting lubed as it's could do a luge at least to drop it slowly we could do a mustard luge that
way the hot dog is getting lubed as it's going down the luge a lubes a lubes yeah so anyway we
need to keep uh maybe next time we get together for an office day we need to start planning that
out a little bit yeah let's just get a big calendar one of those big i don't think i don't
think we have to plan it out i think we just have to pick a day to do it well we need to go buy the
supplies and stuff too right right which we can do beforehand we don't have we have to plan it out. I think we just have to pick a day to do it. Well, we need to go buy the supplies and stuff too.
Right, which we can do beforehand.
We don't have to have a meeting to do that.
But it's like six or seven ideas.
Well, it's like six or seven ideas.
We just need to simplify it and figure out what we're going to do first.
Got it.
Because I don't think we're going to make the Plinko machine first
because that seems complicated.
Isn't it just a bunch of pegs and a board?
Oh, do you have those?
I feel like they're easy to find.
Yeah, why don't you go take a calligraphy class, Andrew?
Yeah.
I got to get the pegs first and then I'll do that.
I just think it's going to be harder to build a giant Plinko machine
and try to figure out how to dress a hot dog as it goes down
than it is to slap some wheels on a hot dog and go down like a Hot Wheels track.
I'm just saying like we'll stair step our way into it,
but we're not going to do it all at once.
Maybe we'll do that. Maybe
we'll shoot the hot dog over the building first. I don't know.
I can't wait.
Also, real fast,
I told a story
about how I was awakened by
either God or destiny. The other
I think it was in the last episode that came out. I've been
getting inundated with people
that are letting me know that
the time in the morning that I woke up at 3.13
in the morning meant nothing to me,
but that is the Detroit area code.
Got it.
Got it.
Message received. Thank you.
So you're
saying I should bet on the Lions is what
you're telling me. Yes, I think that's what I'm saying.
Oh, but since we're talking about 2024 and things to expect
I had an idea at the party
that I ran uh by Eric
uh for the rest of y'all I want to see
what y'all think uh what is
I want to see what everybody's vibe for 2024
is going to be like I sat down and I tried to think about
what's my 2024 vibe going to be
and I decided I'm all about
eating hummus and listening to Bell and Sebastian in 2024.
That's what I'm doing the whole fucking year.
Eric, what did you say your vibe is in 2024?
My vibe in 2024 is going to be, I don't know if you guys remember, but Jason Mraz was a
popular artist in the early 2000s.
And my vibe is going to be Jason Mraz hats.
Hell yeah. Okay.
That fits. Right?
I think doing little Jason Mraz hats,
he has different styles and different looks
to it, but it's always a tiny little hat, and
I think I'm into that. I think this year,
I'm going to give it a shot. Tiny little hat.
I could see it. You dancing on a
dance floor at Jeff's wedding with one of those
hats on all fits.
It really gels gels I just think that I just think those little tiny hats I don't love
it like it's not a good look but it's definitely it might be my vibe you know I think so it's good
stuff I'm I think it's great I think it think it's great. And you can have different hats for different occasions and days, you know?
Do you have a vibe for 2024, Gavin?
It just feels beachy.
Yeah, Gavin, what are you doing for 2024?
Yeah, what is it, Gav?
Monkey business.
Yeah, that's a great vibe for you.
What do you mean by monkey business?
I don't really know what it means yet.
They just asked me this on the years even.
Immediately, monkey business
came into my head. So I'm just going to try and
make that apply. I mean, I feel like that
was your vibe for 2023 and 2022 and
2021. You think I've been monkey business this whole
time? You've been a monkey business fellow
the entire time I've known you. But that's fine. It's part of your
charm. I guess that's a part of
me. Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that.
Lean into it. Make 2024 the most
monkey of business years
you've ever had andrew what immediately came into your head when you uh heard about all these vibes
2024 my vibe is self-care i'm invested heavily in that upgrading the bed situation as i think i
mentioned before on yeah grip strength uh i got a weighted eye mask uh Christmas I've been using but I've had a weird
problem and I feel like I'm gonna be really dumb when I say this is gonna
come across as stupid but I've been using it and I've encountered an issue
of I can't tell if my eyes are closed or not and it has because it blocks out all
the light and then I just don't know if my eyes are open and I'm not seeing anything
or if my eyes are closed. I know exactly what you mean.
I have it all the time.
And I can't sleep with my eyes open
so I just sit there going, are my eyes
open right now or are they closed?
I would like to sleep.
It's almost a nightly dilemma for me but
I always have to convince myself it doesn't matter.
Yeah, I'm so glad that
If I can't tell why does
thank you I'm gonna start thinking about that that's what I'm gonna use because that has been
the problem the other thing I've done as part of self-care is I've decided to go heavy
into the massage machine game and I am having a great time. I'm going to have to take a photo. I am like the RoboCop of relaxation
is what I got going on.
I got a whole contraption
I throw over my shoulders
for my shoulders.
I got one for my hand.
I got a station for my feet
under my desk
so I can just give my feet
a little massage.
I'm all about massage machines
in this 2024.
You've got modular.
Alternate relaxation.
I have.
I am like the
$300 man of Chinese
accessories.
It's
great. They've innovated
the massage game and I'm
excited. I'll have to send you guys a photo of me
and my current sleep setup.
I like that your year of
self-care started with 17
happy meals.
That was a real problem of ordering those and having like two days left in the year.
But I view like the first two weeks of the new year is like this.
You got to slowly get into it.
You can't just immediately start new routines.
You got to slowly get into it.
If you try to like pull the bandaid off and jump headfirst in,
you'll burn out in like two weeks.
Totally. You gotta do these things gradually.
We're in the transitional phase of setting up
what will be the year of self-care.
What about you, Gracie, and you, Nick?
I'm going into the new year yacht rocking.
I wanna spend more time seaside with a Mai Tai in my hand.
That's awesome. I got a playlist
for you. I'll send it your way.
It's a good playlist. I got it.
Hell yeah.
It might have influenced his whole vibe.
Wow. And I'll be
watching from a distance
with my little hat on.
Oh. We're going to sail away.
What about distance with my little hat on oh we're gonna sail away what about what about you gracie
yeah gracie what's your vibe you know like the music that plays in a really fancy hotel that's
like slow jazz yes what and then like like one of those old sophisticated men that listens to that and
eats like trail mix okay i just i need to point out what gracie wrote is fancy hotel lobby jazz
and salty snacks and what she said was i want to be an old man in a hotel lobby
who i get it checks mix is that what he said yeah like trail mix like trail mix yeah like
an old man snack you know you know he's lived a good life when you look at yeah that's a great
and i relate to that because there are times where i'll throw miles davis on and pretend i know more
about the world than i do understandable vibe you know he's lived a good life so how are you
gonna employ this are you gonna just employ this? Are you going to
just start sitting in lobbies? In fancy lobbies?
Yeah, I'm going to start at the Austin.
In like a dress?
No, not a dress.
I'll have to work on the outfit.
Because it's fancy.
It will include like the narrow glasses
though, for sure.
I don't think that she necessarily needs
to show up fancy. I think it's about absorbing the
fanciness around you is how i would i think if i can give a suggestion i think that gracie needs
a smoking jacket that she can wear to hotel oh yeah yeah i think i think we should take this
literally and you should hang out in hotel lobbies because that was a thing that was really big
like in the 20s and the 30s.
It was a lot about staying in a hotel
was the socialization, reading the paper,
running into people you knew in the lobby.
It was much more of a feature of older hotels.
So maybe Gracie's going to usher that era back in.
Yeah.
I think you're on a very fine line though
because if you're sat there in that eating some fancy trail mix or something that's that's a certain look if you switch to a
just a bag of croutons you're gonna start to look like the dude a little bit i think well i'm not
gonna be eating them from the bag i'll like put them in a little bowl okay so you won't know all
right yeah it'll blend i didn't even consider the outfit component to this, and this has me excited,
because this has opened up a whole new layer
of the self-comfort game.
I know that I will have hit my ultimate form
if I end up with one of these hats
by the end of the year for when I go to bed.
I'm dropping a photo in.
I want to look like fucking Ebeneezer Scrooge
by the end of 2024.
You just got the long cap.
You want a honk shoe hat.
I got one of those in Lilley for Christmas.
Oh, that's so...
There's nothing cozier than one of those.
Yeah.
What was the point of those?
Why are they so droopy?
It's maximum comfort, obviously.
They just were worse at making clothes back then.
It does look like they cut the bottom of like a curtain thing and then just attached it to.
I'm just like, I'm fucking so the top.
What are we here?
Andrew, Andrew, when you wear that hat and you snore, are you going honk shoe honk shoe or are you going?
Yeah, I'm going to me, me, me.
That's cool.
Has anyone ever slept on their hands
like when people pretend to do the sleeping gesture?
Has anyone ever slept like that?
Slept on their hands?
Oh, yeah.
You know when you put your hands together and put it...
Absolutely.
You gotta...
I do like the phone hold, I'd say,
is the position with my hand.
It's under the pillow and bent.
Yeah, I fall asleep with like one
hand under like every night. Yeah, I go under
the pillow. I just never sleep on my actual hand.
No, I don't think I've
slept on my hand. That's a
good point. You should try it.
See how it is. We should all try to sleep on our hands
in the hand sleeping position. I'm willing
to try anything in this year of comfort.
I'm up for it. If it will increase the position. I'm willing to try anything in this year of comfort. I'm up for it.
If it will increase the sleep, I'm about it.
As long as I can eat hummus occasionally, I'm good to go.
Well, that actually, that reminds me of a thing I got myself for Christmas.
I bought a security system.
Now, just in case we have a monopoly situation with Gavin again in the future,
I got some cameras and a setup.
But then I had the realization that when I go to sleep now,
I get my weighted eye mask on.
Then I put my headphones on and I blast thunderstorms
and then fall asleep.
And it doesn't, me having a security camera
is completely useless because I am not in this dimension.
I can't hear anything. I can't see anything. I have zero alert for what is happening in my environment around me.
Where do you stand on weighted blanket? I haven't ever tried a weighted blanket,
so I don't I hear good things, but I've never experienced it.
It's a part of my wife's 26 point nightly routine.
And yeah, it's an oppressive routine.
Yeah.
She swears by it.
Might want to give it a shot.
I found out recently that when you physically lose weight,
it comes out of your mouth.
Like you breathe the weight away.
It comes out, I guess, as the carbon in carbon dioxide.
What? Are you about to explain to me your new program of breathe the weight away it comes out i guess is the carbon in carbon dioxide what are you about to explain to me your new program of breathe the weight away well i just thought like what if i breathe in the
same bag for like a whole year could i breathe myself into a bag what are you talking about like can i capture my own carbon oh
like how much would it take for me to breathe out my own weight
in solid carbon yeah well how long would it take for you to lose all of your weight
well i don't know i just don't even know what it looks like when you when you do carbon capture
what does the carbon look like yeah i'm imagining it is just like a load of flesh
i think it's a question of how much weight is how much carbon weight is the average breath
right and then it's a measurement of how many times you breathe per night across a year
i don't know if there's a metric on that
we'd have to have someone look it up but that's yeah because i think it'd be interesting if i if I don't know if there's a metric on that.
We'd have to have someone look it up, but that's... Yeah, because I think it would be interesting
if I just had, like, a ten-stone lump of carbon
that came from me.
I don't know anyone who has one.
Oh, I don't either.
You'd definitely be in a unique group.
That's like a serial killer thing i feel like is what you're explaining breathe out a twin yeah i want a double
just what would you do with your double if you had carbon double a carbon copy
as yeah a little cc I'd sit him in a chair.
I don't know how pliable my I don't think it's pliable at
all.
I think you got to lock it in
like a rock.
Yeah, I think it's like a
statue.
Didn't you see that that
Jordan Peele movie about
doubles?
I don't think you want to make
one.
It's not going to like you.
The thing that I took away
from what was the movie was called us right
us yeah yeah that movie made me understand kawaii leonard kawaii leonard the kawaii leonard we know
is the one that escaped it like gave me a context to kawaii leonard that finally made him make sense
yeah that was my takeaway from that film it's like oh kawaii Leonard that finally made him make sense. Yeah.
That was my takeaway from that film.
It's like, oh, Kawhi Leonard.
Okay, that makes sense.
That's cool.
Checks out.
I didn't like that film.
I liked it because it gave me context to Kawhi Leonard.
It was my least favorite of his films, but I enjoyed it.
It has a great atmosphere to it.
It does, for sure.
It's got good acting in it, too.
Yeah, it does.
It's creepy.
It's very creepy.
Oh, hey. I went to the mall yesterday to run some tests because Andrew and I have been
working on our mall show, our mall game that we're going to create.
And I think it's damn near ready.
Very excited about it.
It's really, I'm very excited.
I'm very excited too.
Andrew's going to run it and then we're all going to perform it.
You know, we're all going to compete against each other.
I think it's going to be
right up there with Sloppy Joe's Bingo
in terms of how much fun we have doing it.
I agree. Yeah. The
possibilities are really
it's one of those things where the deeper we get, the
more options that seem available.
I'm really excited. What can I know about the format?
I think structurally it's sort of
like Taskmaster where Gracie would be in the alex
role of like the ref okay that approves things and it is a challenge show in which it is stuff
relating to the mall and it could be themed challenges or it could just be a sort of grab
bag of like take a photo or buy a thing
or do some form of other experience
or like mall interaction.
Andrew and I came up with about 60 different tasks
that you can do.
And there's a prize for winning every episode
that is very exciting.
And who's being Greg Davis from the Inbetweeners?
That's me.
I'm going to be like the organizer of what's happening
and then Gracie will be there
to monitor and make sure
that everything is above board.
And then, so then,
Jeff, Gavin, Nick, and Eric
would compete against each other.
But it might be team-based.
Could be team, yeah.
We're in the development phase,
but it's, from what we have,
I think it'll be a lot of fun.
Nick's come up with an interesting
name for it. He has.
Fuckmaster? Yeah, we're not
calling it that. We're not. No.
We're not calling it that. Absolutely not.
Fuckmaster goes to the mall.
We should
maybe for the first time in the history of this
company think of a second name
and then go with that one.
I was calling it King of the Mall,
but that's just what I wrote down for my name
just for my notes. We call it whatever we want
to.
Well, I was...
It's possible.
It could be... I had
a dumb idea of our
prizes will be in a bag
that you'll pull from at the end
and calling it... A sack pack, if you will. sort of a sack pack type thing, but calling it the mall hall or the hall, the hall of mall, mall hall.
I like mall hall, but it could be the show could be called mall hall and the prize bag could be hall of mall.
Oh, that's interesting.
Yeah, we have a little bit of tweaking.
I think we'll be I think we'll be ready to shoot it here pretty soon.
Gavin suggested fuck bag.
Fuck masters, fuck bag.
Go into the fuck bag for winning fuck master.
Pull yourself out a prize.
This is a mess.
I guess this year isn't going to be any more intelligent
than the last year.
No, no no no
I definitely didn't
anticipate
that's not the vibe
for this show
for this year
I don't think
at all
we're doing front front
backpack shirts
I don't think there's any
genius happening here
it's a definite year
of innovation
it sounds like
speaking of
oh go ahead
Jeff
that was really funny
do we both have
moments of intelligence
please you go first i was just going to say that over uh the holidays gavin and my partner got into
a heated text exchange over my phone about whether the desks would launch at different speeds oh my
god everyone's a fool everyone Everyone's, it's annoying
because the episode
where we talked about it
hasn't come out yet still.
So I don't really know
where the audience stands.
But I just feel like
everyone is so wrong.
Yeah, I'm with you.
Except me.
I'm with you.
Don't say except me.
I'm right there with you.
Yeah.
No, I'm with Gavin too
until more people
are with Gavin
then I'm against them.
It was one of those things
where I couldn't forward back and forth the conversation
so I just gave my phone to my partner and they
Gavin and them went back and forth for like
20 minutes just on
how physics work
and I think it ended with them
saying I'm going to sleep yeah they have to go to
sleep so what I did after
that is I asked Gavin
to explain to me
what he is asking and so then I took that and I asked Gavin to explain to me what he is asking and so
then I took that and I
emailed like the top
seven physicists in
the world to see
if we could get a
professional what
well you can just so I just googled
top physicists in the world
and I found a list
of like every country's best
physicist and
what country did you pick?
It was like America and
Canada and Africa
and Australia.
What country?
Listen, I'm trying to help you
anyway pangea
i emailed all of them and uh because most of them work at universities so they have public
email addresses that you can find pretty easily god uh we have yet to get a reply from any of the people
I've reached out to.
So, who knows?
The debate is still,
it lives on.
You might want to just
widen your circle
to like maybe like
the top 100 physicists
in the world
and I feel like
you might get some emails
from like 79 to 100.
Yeah.
Or like maybe the bottom
50 physicists in the world.
Like, do you know what they call the shittiest physicist in America, physicists in the world like like you know what they call the
shittiest physicist in America or in the world
a physicist we could just get we get the bottom
of the barrel they're still physicists right
huh
you think I went too
high the dumbest physicist
on earth is smarter
than all of us put together yeah and I will
say they probably listen to this
show so if you're a physicist just go ahead and contact Andrew smarter than all of us put together. Yeah. And I will say they probably listened to this show. So,
uh,
if you're a physicist,
just go ahead and contact Andrew.
And,
uh,
I I'm sure,
I mean,
again,
we're not saying you're at the bottom of your field.
We are saying you're above us,
uh,
in knowing these things.
That's all.
You've had like three weeks to think about it.
Uh,
and I assume you've been thinking about it every,
every day.
Have you,
uh,
come to any different standings, stance on it?
I've done everything I could to not think about it
in the past 30 years.
Interesting.
We need a man of science, a man of knowledge.
Why don't I just tweet at Bill Nye the science
guy? I'm sure he has... Oh, I did a show
with him once. I bet he doesn't remember me, though.
Almost certainly not.
I don't think I made much of an impression on him. I was drinking pretty heavily back then. I bet he doesn't remember me, though. Oh, almost certainly not. I don't think I made much of an
impression on him. I was drinking pretty heavily back then.
I think I was...
I wasn't at my best.
I'm going to tweet this. We're going to figure this out.
We're going to get a professional opinion.
We've got to wrap this up, but Jeff, is there something you wanted
to get after? It sounded like
there was another thing you wanted to talk about.
Oh! Andrew and I spoke
at the same time and said the same thing.
I was going to say, speaking of innovation
or whatever, looking ahead at 2024,
I've noticed a lot of other podcasts
and entertainment brands
have been making predictions
for the year 2024, and I wanted to see if
y'all had any or wanted to make
any, or even maybe we just come back next week to see if y'all had any or wanted to make any or even maybe we
just come back next week see if there's any like 2024 predictions you want to make I had a dream
about 2024 uh either last year or the year before uh and it was giant volcano oh yeah I mean that's
not good based on your track record right yeah you've been no volcanoes it's not great I had a
dream last night that one of my legs
was super muscly so maybe I'm gonna
get into like leg muscle building or something
you had a jacked leg
I had a jacked my right leg was the thigh was like
crazy jacked and people were like
really impressed with it but it was just I think
just that thigh I don't know why
so maybe I'll get into like
I guess working out
that specific muscle in 2024 on that one leg
okay andrew andrew sorry i'm deep into this bill and i tweet uh predictions about 2024
is that what we're doing yeah yeah if you have a god jacked hands as i said uh i I think I'm going to have the best sleep of 2024 of my life.
And general predictions,
I think that 2024
the Atlanta Falcons are going to win the Super Bowl.
That's what I think.
A little Falcon power. 2024
2025 season. Falcons
to the top.
That's a bold statement. So your prediction
is for 2025?
Well, 2024, 2025.
It starts in 2024.
Yeah, 2024, 2025 season.
So.
Right, so it's for 2025.
I mean, they got a long...
They're going to start the groundwork in 2024, Eric,
for their Super Bowl in 2025.
Your prediction is groundwork?
Yes.
Well, my hot take,
let me predict then, since we're going sports,
that the Boston Celtics will win the NBA championship this year.
That's a fun one.
Definitely predict that.
Do you think, let's do some, like, do you think,
like, will Twitter go under this year, or will it be even bigger?
I was talking about that with Gavin.
We think two years until it goes under.
Within two years, yeah.
Okay.
Do you think an asteroid will hit the Earth this year?
Maybe on New Year's.
Do you think we'll find alien life in 2024?
My prediction is Bon Jovi won't get better at acting in 2024.
And I feel confident about that.
When I say alien life, I'm not saying like Kang and Kodos fly in and introduce themselves.
I mean like microbial life on a...
Oh, something like goo?
Yeah, some goo or something.
Asteroidal goo?
Yeah, like some sort of primordial life.
Maybe that's what I'll create in my bag.
Maybe that's what you're growing
on the side of your pool.
Have you taken an update
on your fungus lately?
No, I should have a little...
I'll take pictures of everything and just track its growth. Can I get confirmation,
Gavin, on this tweet? Make sure you're happy with it
before I send it out.
Yeah. I mean, we don't need to tweet. We could
just get two desks.
If you stood on the top of ten
desks and all the desks raised at the same
time, would you be moving at 10x the
speed up? You need to say 10 standing desks and all the desks raised at the same time, would you be moving at 10x the speed up?
You need to say 10 standing desks.
Yeah, and you also need to say in relation to something.
Well, I copy and pasted what you sent me,
so now you've got notes on your own self.
Will the 10th desk be moving 10 times faster than the first desk in relation to the ground?
Got it.
Should we stop?
Yeah, absolutely.
A hundred percent.
I'm excited about the crouton off.
And I think we can stack a couple of desks on the same day and just see what happens.
I think we can,
I think we can also say that does it do comes out on the 29th.
So go to facepod.com and watch it there.
Go to our YouTube channel and watch it there.
But does it do?
We'll have,
did you guys shoot
eight episodes,
right?
Yeah.
Yeah, for some reason.
And also only
What do you mean
for some reason?
What does that mean?
Well, you added
a bunch of shit
that we didn't,
we said no to
for a start.
And also there was
way less blood
this season.
There was some,
but way less.
Yeah, there was
a little bit of blood,
but I,
Who's you?
I hid it. What do you mean you? You said Yeah, there was a little bit of blood, but I hit it.
What do you mean, you? You said you added a bunch of stuff. Who's
you? You?
Yeah, who is you?
Who's you? It's not me.
I didn't add it. Who's you?
Thanks for listening to
another episode of the
F*** Face Podcast. Boy, are we excited
to bring this to you each and every week
in 2024. We hope you'll
see along for the ride. You're saying you as me?
It's not me!
I did what was right on the sheet.
We'll see you next week.
Gavin, Eric, play us out with the argument.
You're in all the meetings.
It's not me. I didn't do it.
You did. If anyone did it, you're closer to it.
If anyone's closer to it, you did it. It's not me. It's not me. I didn't do it. You did. If anyone did it, you're closer to it. If anyone's closer to it, you did it.
It's not me.
It's not me.
You're the person.
No, because we had a thing about this.
We went through all these things, and this was the reason that we did eight.
We did eight because we had all these ideas.
No, we went through all of them.
We said yes, yes, yes.
Hey, guys.
Major League Fan Jack here with a look at next week's episode of F*** Face.
The usual suspects are back.
Did you know Schwarzenegger was Russian?
Andrew needs his bedtime.
The gang discusses new movies.
Gracie learns some Pantin lore.
Gracie learns not to doubt Gavin.
More food talk.
And once again, Andrew does not eat the pencil.
Or walk the marathon.
Or live up to any of the bets he ever lost.
But at least he's really good at making claims and not being able to back them up. All that and more on next week's episode of F*** Face.
