Yeah, but he's within 11. He's within the minute. Didn't we have a whole run of this on the show? Yeah, I think so. Hold on. Hold on. He's got 20 seconds. God, I didn't get a chance to test my recording.

I hope it's going well. I don't want to stop it now. I don't know if I like new Jeff. What does that mean? I'm not sure if I like it. I'm still working. 10 seconds. I think I will like it, but I'm still adjusting.

I don't know what that means. I'm the same old Jeff. I'm sound completely different that means. Three. I'm the same old Jeff. Completely different. It's on time. Damn it. Oh, man, you really cut. You were cutting it close. Got to turn you up now.

And this is. Nothing to say to yourself. You have to turn me up. I thought I'm not loud enough. I was I turned you down because you're too loud for me. And now I'm turning you. Hello. Hey, Gavin. I'm not loud enough? I was, I turned you down because you're too loud for me. And now I'm turning you- Hello? Hey Gavin!

You okay? He's coming home today, man! What's so funny? You? You? Hello and welcome to another episode of the regulation podcast. My name is Jeff Ramsey with me as always. Andrew Pint and Gavin Free, Nick Schwartz, Eric Padour episode 10.

Gavin, you're hilarious. Discord's a piece of shit. Well, yeah, I walk away from my computer, right? I walk away. Everything is just left as it was. Discord is minimized, right? And then when I click it on the taskbar, it won't it won't get big again. What's the matter about?

Maybe it's thinking about Cecil Fielder or King Kong Bundy. That's what did it for me in high school. You and freaking King Kong Bundy. You try to maintain an erection thinking about him. How's it going, everyone? I'm good. Nick said Whiskey Discord. Oh, man. Whiskey Discord is great. What do you think of new Jeff Gavin?

Because I'm thrown by it. Yeah. What do you think of new Jeff Gavin? What'm thrown by it. Yeah, what do you think of new Jeff Gavin? What's new about him? He sounds completely different. What are you talking about? All right say something Jeff. Hey, what's up? It's your old pal Jeff sounding completely different according to Andrew and Eric. He sounds like he's an AM radio host No, he sounds fine. Thanks It's not that he sounds bad. I think it is once again This is like the wide screen of your voice where I'm just not used to it full spectrum voice It's a full spectrum Jeff. Oh, man. Are you hearing you're hearing all that you're hearing all the notes that other people can't

Yeah, well I replaced my scarlet that we initially record that I recorded the first 215 episodes of this thing with with a road podcaster that immediately broke and I bought a second one, but I got the first one fixed and now I have two road podcasters, one for my PC and one from a Mac. I just I think it's you sound too good, I think is the problem. Like this, it feels like you're an actual host. Would it help if I would it help if I like I throw you as I like I could. Hey, wait, guys, one day. That's all Jeff back there.

That's yeah. Yeah, I feel like I'm part of not a real production now. Thank you. I'm back to feeling good. Andrew. Gavin, during our we had a little week off, we had a little break and you said last time you were not really a break. off, we had a little break. And you said last time that you were going to really a break. OK, it worked a lot. Yeah, we did a lot of record. I just want to be clear.

It's not like we took a break for a week. We I took a break. You all worked your asses off. Yeah, we get working. But there was a break for this podcast. Yes. Which in between you said you were going to work on on your desk. How did you get on? Wow. You really immediately thrown at me, expecting me to have not done a thing.

Didn't you? You little your little sneaky Brit over there. Try to have a lot of time to try to make fun of me. I'm using a new set of two, Kevin. I'm using you set up as well because I remembered my homework. I did my job. Let me I'm going to be honest. It's a little precarious. There might need to be some adjustments done.

I went with a Jeff approach. Yeah. With the setup, I would say, let me just open up this app on my phone so I could I took a little photo before we went live. I bet it is a little photo, too. Yeah, it is. It's a half Bundy, I would say. Let me get open this.

So I got I bought some clamps in the style that Jeff was suggesting, and I clamped down a piece of wood onto my desk, and then I put my mic clamp on that. Oh, my God. So complicated. So I didn't have to nail the desk. I didn't need a hammer.

I bought some clamp, but I bought like arts and crafts would off of Amazon. That's the the the. So that's like 10 little pieces of wood and one thing of. So it's not a table. It's really bent upwards. It's a curve.

You've crushed a bunch of like thin chipboard together and you've put your mic on top of the barcode part. Well, I mean, I didn't. Yeah, no free ads. Didn't want to scan and buy it themselves. But that's The barcode part. Well, I mean, I didn't. Yeah. No free ads. Didn't want to scan and buy it themselves. But that's that's my setup. I now can get rid of my table mic stand

and maybe look into buying a thicker, more singular piece of wood. But outside of that, work pretty good. I would say I'd say it's a pretty good solution to the problem. I am impressed and I'm glad it worked. I didn say I'd say it's a pretty good solution to the problem. I Impressed and I'm glad it worked. I didn't have to nail anything. I didn't have to put a hole in my desk I still have a drill. I don't need a drill. I don't think I just I can't believe you don't want to drill for the rest of your life I just don't that's a bad combination me and you know what they say Gavin more drills more problems Me and a you know what they say Gavin more drills more problems

I think there is a permanence to a hole that I do not need in my life You don't want any holes permanent no because I would make a lot of unnecessary holes I think or I would do poor holes and then I would have to fix the hole So I just am better not being in a position to generate holes Okay So I just am better not being in a position to generate holes Okay It I don't know if I ever told you guys this but when I moved into my old house the one that I no longer own I hung a TV in my bedroom not even thinking just put up a flat-screen TV I resisted having a TV in the bedroom remember I had the ceiling TV for a long time

But eventually I decided I'd be a real big boy And I put a wall mount on my TV and hung it and as I hung it it and I drilled everything in, I realized I on the other side is my shower and I missed my shower pipe by less than an inch. Oh my God. Less than an inch. And that's that's why drills like if you can if you can go your whole life without a drill, Andrew, I recommend it. I I was hanging a towel rail in my bathroom. And when I was done, I couldn't close the bathroom door.

And it was one of those sliding pocket doors. And I attached the towel rail to the closed door inside the wall. Oh, man. So now. That's great. So even though I. Oh man So now Even though I replaced the screws with short ones did you there are still two holes in my pocket Did you have like a solid ten seconds to feel like a big man fixing the house doing your own install and then oh There must have been so much pride in that moment between finishing and then going to close the door. Yeah, that was probably like a 20 minute period where I felt all big and strong badly until I couldn't pull the door out of the wall. When you couldn't, when the door didn't pull, how long did it actually take for you to connect the dots and how long did it feel like in your head?

Oh, I connected the dots instantly when I tugged on the door from the little Piece and it just bounced out of my hands. I just went oh Do you think that was maybe one of the worst moments of your life in in terms of it? Just feeling good about yourself? Um Bomb 20 for sure Because I can't I can't I can't imagine the realization setting in on what I had done in that moment. Oh I think yeah for me my solution that problem wouldn't be reapplying it It would be figuring out a way to make it slide

So your towel rack would just go in and out with the door. Cutting a channel so that every time I close the door. That would actually work better because those fricking like a slide, those fiddly, fricking little sliding pocket doors are a pain in the ass. If if the entire door was run by me sliding my towel rail, it would be much easier to use. I mean, I just imagining the face of someone who doesn't expect it walking into that bathroom, closing the door behind them and seeing the towel rack just slide. The towels are just coming out.

Oh, man. Hey, Andrew, earlier you said something about it feeling like not a real production. Speaking of not a real production, can I tell you guys about a TV show I watched the other night? Of course. Hulu has been begging me to watch the show. What is it? The quiz with balls. Every time I load up Hulu, there's the quiz with balls is they they're ramming it down my face.

It's like some it's a major network show. It's like ABC, NBC, CBS. I don't know. And it's basically what it what you think it is, is exactlyming it down my face. It's like some, it's a major network show. It's like ABC, NBC, CBS, I don't know. And it's basically what you think it is is exactly what it is. It's like two families compete in trivia and then one family goes up and they stand in a slot over a swimming pool and then behind them on a ramp is a giant ball. And they answer a question,

and the one who gets it the most wrong gets shot into the water. Except this image isn't even doing it justice. The episode I watched, they had a family all in denim jeans with big chunky tennis shoes. And then all they do is get an answer wrong and they just drop them in water

and then they have to swim all the way across this pool and then a guy in a security guard just gives them a towel and then they have to go sit on a vinyl sofa, which must, if you're there, really stink after a while and just be like a thousand wet farting sounds because they're just sliding all over vinyl. It was one of the dumbest things I've ever seen in my entire life.

And I can't fucking believe it got made. Like, I can't, can you, like, they pitched it and somebody said, yeah, that's a good pitch. Yeah, and then they built a giant frickin' swimming pool set that probably cost millions of dollars. Cost millions of dollars. So somebody could say, name five cities in Ohio. And then one person gets one wrong and then they just throw them in the water and make them swim in full clothes. Have the ass denim. America has this real fascination with feeling like they need to make trivia

more exciting. What was the Ellen DeGeneres show? We're like, if you got it wrong, you got ripped into the sky like there is. They dropped you like 20 feet sometimes. That was insane. It was the game of the game of games or something. I have no idea what that's called, but there is a history of something stupid happening to you if you get it wrong. Yeah, I feel like I could make a much cheaper show, though. I could make like I could make the quiz with fists and everyone's just stood

facing a hole in a wall and a fricking boxing glove just rocks them if they get it wrong. Or even just the quiz with push. And there's just five people standing behind you. One of them pushes you. It's like it's just such a bad, lame premise. They're like, what's funny about Wipeout? People getting hit. OK. What's funny about quiz shows? Nothing. That was slam it together. Everybody can swim, right? I just it was so fucking just so bad. And I just can't believe. Oh, it's on Fox. I'm sorry.

It must cost like, you know how much how many millions of dollars they invest in an episode of the quiz with balls so that Jay Farrow can do like a fucking Wesley Snipes impression three times or whatever, because he's the host. Like, Jesus Christ. I had the trailer rammed down my throat on autoplay so many times. I just put an episode on and I fast forwarded until I could see someone get hit with a ball. It was like 13 minutes in before someone got bald.

It's a bad ball ratio. There's only like eight questions in the whole show. I think what they need to do. Let me try to punch up this show a little bit. You stand at the top. If you get it wrong, the boulder falls and you have to outrun the boulder and each lane gets progressively more steep. And if you get hit by the boulder, you're dead and you're never seen again on the show.

You're dead. If you, yeah, that's a good idea. If you get Indiana Jones, I like that. But as it stands right now, no, it is the lamest fucking premise for television. And you're just looking at it and you're thinking like, there's a studio executive somewhere who makes over a million dollars a year

and his job is just to say yes to that. Or her, his job is just to say yes to that or her. Their job is just to say yes to that and go, all right, that's a hit. Maybe if you were covered head to toe in gasoline and the ball was on fire, oh, you would just as you were falling, become on fire before being extinguished. That's the show I would watch. Yeah. What if somebody else has to run for you, like someone in your family? Like if you get it wrong, it then triggers for your family to have to outrun the ball of fire. Even more snakes is not even just you.

I like that idea that the whole like military idea of we don't punish you. We punish the people around you. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. And then once one of your family members gets knocked in, you get railed with soap in a sock. Yeah. And then at about 2am you get a blanket party and it's not fun. What was it was a remote control? Was that the MTV calling Quinn old trivia? Yeah, that had a great exit if you got it wrong from trivia thing.

That might be why I remember they all sat in like lazy boys. And if they got it wrong, the wall ate them like the chairs went up the wall absorbed them Yeah, they did that on That reality show villain Besetly oh awesome the one hosted by Not Daniel Tosh, but the other Daniel Tosh What's your name? Okay? No the other Daniel Tosh? the Anthony Jeslin it okay What's your name? A kale? No the other Daniel Tosh? the

Judge Anthony Jeslin it okay And I never watched the villains one. I was really excited about that premise. It wasn't very good I only watched like two episodes, and it was pretty bad. That's too bad There's some great clips from it, but maybe yeah clip show I think they're doing a second season too, so it might be worth going back and finishing But maybe that's a clip share. I think they're doing a second season, too, so it might be worth going back and finishing. Hey, Gav, you know how like you used to when you would come to America, you would talk about how the shits in America were so much worse than the shits in England. And it was like instant, like as soon as you got into America, you just started your shits just became like 10 times worse.

So funny you mention that because I've had a morning. Oh, you got the England shits. It's so funny you mention that because I've had a morning. Got the England shits. You have common home. Shits right now. Yeah. I guess I had some bad Italian food last night and. Oh, where do you eat? I don't know. I didn't go out.

It was ordering and I didn't order. OK. Well, I I'm sorry to hear about your morning. I hope it improves for you. I would take some Pepto-Bismol If I were you I Realized this last week in Michigan that Michigan is my America. It makes you shit. Oh my god, dude the diarrhea the the

Torment I put Emily's parents toilet through I put Emily's parents toilet through. I felt bad, man. I was doing like full scrubs every time I, I was like doing a full like bathroom clean down because these are my in-laws. But I was having like, like you, like, I was having like you stole a bunch of marked bills and a bag from the from the

Finally get to your safe house and you open it up and you get hit with the pink spray the die pack Yeah, that was me four times a day for the eight days. I was there And I realized there is nothing There's nothing that makes an airplane flight longer, maybe shitting your pants seven times like the time you did it. But then just trying not to shit your pants, but also being like, I can't go on the plane because there's not enough toilet paper

and distance from other people to make this survivable. So just trying to hold in a diarrhea for two and a half hours on a plane is brutal. And I was so out of sorts that when I got up, I had like Emily's bag behind me and my bag in front of me and she was moving on and you know, everybody's like cramming to get out of there. And like, it was like, oh, can you grab my purse?

And I like spun around to grab her purse. And somehow I flipped myself around, got both of my arms caught behind myself and I fell into a row of chairs face first, landed on my, you know, like on the middle row, the crossbar, like the arm support, landed chest onto that with my head over it. And because my hand was like trapped under me and behind me, I couldn't push myself off and my legs were wedged in between the suitcases.

And I just kind of had to lay there for like three seconds to try to figure out how To get out of there while the people around me did that thing where they started laughing and then they stopped laughing because Suddenly wasn't funny because they didn't know if I was hurt or you know Or if they needed to help me or not and I was clearly holding people back and The whole time just laying there trying to figure out how to get out of there and hold my diarrhea in Well, you're like you're like a turtle on its back, but yeah, I'd not to shit I was like a turtle on a back trying not to shit, but I was a Jeff on my face trying to shit

And then Emily took off like she didn't see it So she's like I heard a commotion and by the time I cut up with her with like her like 80 bags And like you know hold my butthole together. It was yeah, it was rough, but that row was empty, right? Yeah. Thank God I was going into it like regardless it uh, it's hard to push yourself off when you're trapped under your arms and your chest is like hanging over a Ledge yeah, and since you know, why is still not shit? Yeah, and and you're still not shitting. Yeah, it's not shitting. My non shitting flight from L.A.

to Austin took what felt like nine hours, even though it was a man. Probably a three hour flight. Just locked in and not shitting. It's all you're thinking about. Physically sat on my hands, holding my anus closed and then and then losing grip on it when I fell asleep. I didn't use headphones because it was too much, like it was just too much. Too much of a distraction away from your eyes.

I just read Reddit on my phone because the noise was too much for focusing. I tend to like... Oh my man. That was like that intense. Anyway, so that was my week. It sounds like y'all had a lot of fun playing video games. We played a lot of video games. I've been watching soccer.

I become a little bit of a soccer fan. I feel like everyone's getting into so. So Canada play last night. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It was they scored a goal in this tournament. So they were in Copa America and they scored a goal for the first time. That was very exciting. They made it to the semifinals, which is very exciting.

Played against Argentina. It looked really good for about five minutes, and then it never looked good again. That was it. But as as somebody who didn't like draws and soccer, following a team that has low expectations, the possibility of a tie is so exciting because it's just like we just got to prevent a goal.

It's starting in a position where we could technically kind of win. And it's great. And if you force the title the way to penalties, that's well exciting. Anyone could win that. Exactly. Yeah, it feels like penalties is like a complete coin flip. So even when there's not penalties, just the ability of like, OK, we just have to do nothing as long as nobody does anything. We can still have a favorable result.

And I'm a fan. It's been a lot of fun to watch. I did, however, didn't know that Copa America and the euro are two different things. I learned that two different names didn't give that. I thought maybe it was like a subnet, like it was the Euro Copa America because it was in in like a like it was in somewhere else. If that makes any sense, because I've been waiting for the possibility of England and Canada to go up against each other. That's why I was passively watching before this point.

I was like, huh, England keeps winning, can keeps winning. This could be great. They're eventually going to get matched up. The way it's going. And then the of is the World Cup. Yeah, that's what I thought both of those were. I thought I was watching the World Cup and we're all playing for the World Cup. That's the two years.

OK. But I mean, if Canada qualify and England qualify, it could happen. But I've been following it and the Canada won to go to the semifinal and they were matched up against Argentina. I was like, what the fuck? Where is England? And so I googled bracket for the Copa America tournament and didn't see England there, but knew they were still active. And then I realized, oh, no, oh, this this was never going to happen. I was never going to get my match up against Gavin.

It was amazing that Canada was who you said had just scored a goal in the tournament for the first time, playing against the winners of the World Cup last year or the year before. What if we had a Copa Euro friendly where you guys play against each other in FIFA? And that's what I've been saying. I'm trying to get that together. I would. Are we playing or simming it? Who have you been playing it to? This is the first time I'm hearing it and sounds like Gavin hasn't heard it either

No, I've been trying to get Gavin to do it for a week. I texted Gavin and Nick Nick can back me up I said, why don't we do it and you said we're not doing it yet No here let's let's go to the let's circle back on this when you just called him on that and he said yeah No, well, that's no no Let me let me go you fucking idiot Eric Let me go full dick or whatever Nick said said like three words this I just I just repeated what you I just repeated what you said Yeah, but you try to make a point of this is whole, we're gonna get into a whole lot of garbage here. I texted, I was in a group text with you, Nick, and Gavin, trying to get this done.

Gavin never replied, true or false? He did not reply. He never replied, he didn't acknowledge, didn't reply. On text? Yes, on text. I can't text you, I have no signal, I don't know what to do about it. I have to hold my, I have to go upstairs and hold my phone above my head because it doesn't use the internet. It uses fricking cellular. I can't. Slack me you idiot!

We work together. We've been texting for years. For four years. I walk away from my phone, I come back to my phone and something I sent an hour ago hasn't, I don't have as many fricking red exclamation marks as I do with anyone else as I do with you. Okay, that's fair. I'll slack you from from now going forward. I just want I want to get a group text going. Nick replied you didn't reply.

Understandable that you weren't able to see it. I'm just saying I tried. That's what I want to clear up. What makes you switch out of Slack into texting? What's like even you're still talking about work? Yeah, I'd swap to text because I didn't feel like making a group chat in Slack. And I also was a weekend, so I wanted to reach you. I don't know how any of those qualifies.

Can you settle something for me, Andrew? Do you have slack on your phone? Yeah, yeah, I do. Of course. OK, wait, why would I? What do you mean? So it's on the Umi Digi. We need to. It's on the bison.

Yeah. We need to talk about what happened in the general chat. What the fuck? In the general chat. Oh, the messages. Let me put a screen shot. Right. Screen shot, go it in. It. Yeah. Yeah, you got it.

Oh, there are a bunch of messages. My mom was over, decided to do some cleaning that I wasn't aware of. And I didn't I wasn't paying attention to my phone. And then like an hour later, I looked and Eric thought I got hacked because My mom decided to clean my desk area which included wiping down my keyboard and She I let you can see where she started. She did the number row and then she did QWERTY And then she starts again.

She gave it all a second pass. Well, that's a really good point. I was very confused. I was very worried when I saw were you hacked, because that was all the only context I had for what had happened. And then I figured out. My point is, is that we were all slacking in there talking, like asking you if you're right, what's going on. At one point I thought you were falling down the longest flight of

stairs in the world. And then you text us saying where we would, we let you know what was happening and you text us saying, where am I typing that? So you were on your phone, I guess ignoring all the slack, but replying to all the text. I didn't have the alerts. I didn't have slack alerts for that. I don't know. I don't know what to tell you. I didn't see it. I would have had the alerts. I would have known where I was typing. I didn't just ignore the alerts.

I'm saying I didn't have a there was no notification for any of your messages. The only thing I had was Eric saying, were you hacked? And maybe it was there, Gavin. But if you have a text that says, Andrew, were you hacked? And maybe it was there, Gavin. But if you have a text that says, Andrew, were you hacked? Everything else becomes less of a priority. You're immediately going there for more info. I'm not being like, oh, Eric thinks I'm hacked. Whatever. Let me see what else is going on.

Let's browse. And I am immediately responded to the source of my hacking. He's got you. Isn't it weird that you don't have alerts on for us like that? No, I do have alerts. I think as I was talking through that, I think that realistically is more what happened where I saw were you hacked

and immediately just followed that thread and a panic as opposed to. Just looking, because I didn't know. So you do or you don't have alerts. Of course I have alerts. The only time I don't get alerts is when. Say, of course, anytime. Didn't he just say that he didn't have alerts? I feel crazy.

I I not not I didn't have alerts in a permanent sense. I thought I didn't have alerts on my phone like the Umi did. You maybe didn't push those alerts a permanent sense. I thought I didn't have alerts on my phone like the Umi did you maybe didn't push those alerts to it, but it probably did. I just wasn't aware of that because I saw were you hacked and immediately went into panic mode to try to figure out what you were talking about. Well, either way, it's good to know that you have Slack open on an unlocked computer without a screensaver.

Well, it's just it's on my it's yeah, it's my computer. What are you afraid people are going to find out of all of our secrets? In official farts and cool images, some of those farts are just for us. Let me circle. I got some I got some beef with Gavin in the slack situation. We got some psych issues around me. I'm riled up now about this. I was riled up yesterday. I took strays. I don't think I've ever been more right about anything.

We have a Monday meeting. We get together once a week on Monday, and it is at what time is it? 830 a.m. 1030 for us. 1030 for you. OK, first week. And I'm just I'm vocalizing this just I'm not saying this is anyone's fault, but mine first week couldn't sleep. Mine was racing. I decided that I would be better off like because because I tried.

I put in I just laid in bed and closed my eyes for hours. Nothing was happening. I decided, hey, I'm just going to stay up the rest of the night, knock out this meeting, and then I'll be so tired I'll have to sleep. I got a few hours and I can go about my day. So what time is it when you decide this? Probably five a.m., five thirty a.m., I'd say. And I'd been trying to sleep from like one to four at that point.

And I'd given up by five. Give up by five, seven a.m. hour before the meeting. Eric posts. I think it was Eric. I don't remember. I shouldn't call it Eric because I don't remember the specific. Somebody said, let's know is you, Gavin. You said, let's reschedule the meeting.

I have a thing on at that time. And it was a thing that existed prior to that. And I went, oh, fucked. I stayed up all night. I didn't blame you for that. It was more just that existed prior to that. And I went, oh, fucked. I stayed up all night. I didn't blame you for that. It was more just like, oh, it's an annoyance. That also is information you knew we could have if that was just vocalized the day prior.

We could have just completely avoided this week to. Don't remember what happens with this meeting, but something happens and we don't have it at the time. It has to be moved week three. There is another rescheduling that is an hour before the meeting starts. But the problem is I don't have an alarm set until eight because my partner works nights and I have my setup in our bedroom.

So I have to we both have to be up or I will wake them up just naturally. And so I said, let's can we move the meeting an hour because we're giving you're giving updates on the meeting is moved, but it's pointless to me because I don't wake up until an hour later. So now I'm just waking up to see that a meeting that would never had a chance of happening is not happening. How am I in the wrong on this? I've been in shit on for this for like four days. Well, it's the daytime. It's 8am here and my partner works nights. Yeah. So that means that they go to bed late and then they sleep, ideally, through the first half of the day.

Technically, they they probably go to bed early, I would think. Yeah, sure. Sure. But you got to wake up. So you're saying it should be later or we shouldn't move it. I'm saying I'm saying that I wanted it moved an hour because you don't give updates on your schedule until an hour before it happens, at which point it's irrelevant to me because I'm sleeping and I'm going to wake up in an hour

to see that I didn't need to wake up at all. That was my point. But you do have to you do have to wake up anyway that day. I do, but not at that time. I'm waking up earlier than I normally would to make this meeting. And by the time I see the alert, it's pointless because I like I can't in my sleep register that you've that you can't do it and that we have to move it. So an hour I could do. So now you've permanently moved it to 1130 our time.

Yes, exactly. And I'm happy. And that way, if we change it, like an hour before, you'll already be up. I will be up. I will have seen it will not have impacted the schedule in a way that it currently does. What if you oversleep? I have an alarm. Great question, Jeff.

Andrew? I have several alarms. I thought you could use the alarms. I've only one time? I have an alarm. Great question, Jeff. Andrew? I have several alarms. I thought you could use the alarms. I've only one time almost slept through one. Do you not think it's better to have a meeting earlier so it's not in the middle of the day for four fifths of us? So I am getting penalized for living on the West Coast? Yeah, so he should suffer. All I do.

This is very American of you, Gavin. I'm adjusting for everything. I'm always you guys 10 a.m. show up 8 a.m. for me every time. I'm going to I'm going to jump out and in defense of Andrew here and just say that I do think he's pretty accommodating considering most of what we do is probably inconvenient for him. I do agree. I'm actually on your side. And I I often don't look at my calendar until Monday, which is my fault.

I think what happened the time I did it, I had a doctor appointment at the time of our meeting that was probably booked like three months earlier. Yes. I just was like, oh, shit, that's this week. And I was like, sorry, I have to move it. Yeah, totally. And that's fine. But it was just like, I agreed to this meeting to try to be accommodating to y'all. And then the meeting kept getting moved.

And it was like, why are we doing this? Let's move this meeting. Yeah, you should have just said that in the beginning. That's all I was going to say. That's I was just waiting for you guys to finish. So I could say, why didn't you say any of this when we picked the first time? Yeah, if you have to wake up much earlier on one day, you should have been like, I'm not up by that.

Yeah, just go like, hey, honestly, can we do it at one year time? That would put me in a good position. I don't care. Yeah, at the time, I think I agreed to it because it seemed like that's when the meeting was wanted to have taken place. I said that horribly. Was wanted to have taken place. I said that horribly There is a sense that that is when y'all wanted the meeting and I was like I'll do this for one week and see how it goes and then if it's not ideal then I'll move it but then the meeting just kept getting moved and then it became just an annoyance of

This is ridiculous. Why is this here? Turns out it wasn't convenient for any of us. None of us wanted this time in reality. And I tried to vocalize this point and I did horribly because I was up the entire night last time we had the meeting because I almost missed the last meeting. And I've been taking strays. I've been taking strays since that thing. And it is the most right. I think I've ever taking strays. I've been taking strays since that thing. And it is the most right I think I've ever been about anything. And I'm like, I can't know. I will get shit on for so many things.

I am in the right here. I know this isn't crazy. I'll give you that. But my my thinking is, why would you decide at five that you're not going to go to sleep? Like, surely, even if you slept between seven and eight, sleep is sleep. Totally. Absolutely valid. There is a time period and I've crossed that line. Whereas younger red be like, I'd be worse to get sleep, like I'll be more tired.

And now I'm no, if I get any sleep at all, that's a win. I just was incapable of it that night. I could not shut my brain off. I was fully awake and I was really excited for this being. I was so pumped to hear what was going to happen at this meeting. The set a schedule. And that that has been that. But now the meeting's moved.

I will see how it goes. We have a clean meeting next week. Hey, speaking of meetings, this is kind of an aside. But Eric, you and I had a meeting with a mutual friend yesterday And that I've been thinking about since our meeting I want to see what you guys think about this I don't want to out the friend because I'm not sure if they'd be comfortable with the world knowing that they're friends with Eric and I Okay, I can get how that would be a detractor, but we were hanging out with this friend who has Who has like a cool project that they work on

that's like their job. And we were talking about like scheduling another meetup. And we were like, well, what about, in the process, we were like, well, how are you handling your workload with the stuff that you're doing? And they said, well, I do it all on Mondays. I just get the whole thing done on Mondays. I bust my ass on Mondays

and basically just get all of my work done on that day. And I was like, oh, that's pretty smart if you can do it. And they only have one project they're really done on that day. And I was like, oh, that's pretty that's pretty smart if you can do it. And they only have one project they're really working on right now. So I was like, yeah, that makes sense. And then we were trying to figure out when to get together again. And Eric said, well, what about next Friday? And they said, I tend to try. I don't want to schedule stuff on Fridays because I want to start my weekend early.

And we were like, oh, OK, I guess that makes sense. But then I was thinking about it in bed last night and I was like, doesn't your weekend start on Tuesday? You only work one day a week. Yeah, if you have slotted everything to be one day. I think you're I think you're oversimplifying what they were saying. But I will say, I agree with you. What the fuck are they thinking, baby?

I think at the end of the story, I know who that is now. I can't start my weekend early. You do. You work one day a week. You. It is an insane thing to say in the content. And I'm sure the way that I felt taking unnecessary strays for what I said, if this first is probably I rate if they hear this being like this is completely mischaracterized. But based on what you said

Yeah, that's ridiculous. That is all I Eric's right. I'm sure I'm over simplifying it a little bit, but the nuts and bolts of it are essentially correct what I've said Yeah, yeah, yeah, the so so anyway, so when do we want to get together again? I can't do Monday Okay, how about Friday? Nah, I can't do Friday. All right cool What do you want? Just I don't want to get together again. I mean, is it a friendly is it a friendly hangout or is it work? Really? It's me.

No, it's friendly. It's kind of like like what we do with Nick and Jason. Right. But that wouldn't that wouldn't mean that wouldn't overtake the way that would. Yeah, we could start here. And it's a friendly hangout and that's still the weekend. I think we agree. I think we agree with you, Gavin. I think we're a bunch. I think we're five guys in a discord call agreeing with each other. I think it sounds like three people where two of them are hanging out and one of them's at work. Okay. Now that sounds like an accurate assessment of exactly what this relationship is to a T.

You have no idea how right you are. Man, you just hit the nail on the fucking head. That might be the perfect distillation of that relationship Christ man, oh I would hate that even if we could do that I would hate that because that means that we're only spending one day a week doing like I know why oh my god It's yeah, it's dead you guys only people on earth I want to spend time with and I just want to be around you all the time with exception My wife and dog and daughter, but you know what I mean?

I sure yeah absolutely I get annoyed if it's like nine o'clock at night And I'm like oh, I wonder if I should text the guys and see if they want to film something You can't don't do that you can't do that you can't do that just cuz you're awake and ready to film doesn't mean they are You just had your first week away as we mentioned earlier, and I was so sweet in my life you yeah about it because when I missed one day of gameplay recordings, I saw you guys in the Discord thing. I was like, oh, man, my friends are having fun. I wish I was like it was such a like I was the sick kid and I was looking out my window

and I was seeing all the neighborhood kids play soccer or whatever. And just be like, oh, I could have I could be part of that. I'm not I'm missing that that sucks very secret garden Yes, I Yeah, it was brutal especially because y'all I didn't know ahead of time you were gonna do this But you guys decided to play GTA heists not like player created heists like we used to do back in the day with achievement hunter But the the rock star created heists which achievement also did. The irony there for me is that when Achievement Hunter went through and did all of those heists,

I think there's like four of them or maybe five of them, and they're like multi-part, you know, they take a while. I was at a town or something when they started it, and so I missed the boat. They already had their team set and they were going, and so I just never played or got to participate in any of that I think I may have gotten to participate in one of the videos like half of one of the videos I just assumed that you had done all of them

No, that is why I've never touched them And so y'all starting it last week when I went out of town was such a wonderful nostalgic Moment where I just thought oh, I want to I just want to drown myself in a bathtub. I'm never going to play these fucking games. Thank you so much. I'm so glad history does, in fact, repeat itself. I'm going to go kill myself now.

I got more fake, not real beef, but annoyed with Gavin beef from that experience. From doing the heists. Yeah. I've never beaten the humane labs raid heist, doing the heists. Yeah. I've never beaten the humane labs raid heist, and I was so excited that now we're going to finally beat this heist that I've never finished. I've gotten to the last part of it every time. And then for whatever reason, the group I'm part of decides to just not follow

through with it. And I was all excited to continue going. Gavin doesn't want to film the heist for a little bit. He wants to take a break from filming any more high stuff. And I went, well, son of a bitch, you motherfucker. The humane lab can do it. We're just three videos ahead and no one's even started editing the first one. We're going to be I'd love to just get this stuff that's going to come out.

So that we should be. No, I 100. I absolutely agree with you, Gavin. You're 100 percent right. I don't care. And I want to play Grand Theft Auto. What if you guys just deleted those three videos and never played it again? Why don't we just finish it and then we have it and then it'll come out eventually? Here's what we should do. Here's what we should do. I've already done all these.

I should swap out with Jeff and watch. We can't do that halfway through the heist. You guys are a crew set. You can't do that. It's a terrible idea. No, I just have to. We can't switch out. We that halfway through the heist. You guys are a crew set. You can't do that. It's a terrible idea. No, I just have to. We can't switch out. We're halfway through a heist right now.

I just have to miss out on this one. Just, and you know, when we start a new company in 10 years, I'll miss out on those two. Okay, what if we wrap up this heist, which is the second one, or the third one, I guess, because we skipped the first one, and then Jeff comes in for the rest. That's, I mean, that's not up to you.

Who am I replacing? Who am I replacing? No, you guys have a thing set. No, no, no. in for the rest. That's, I mean, that's not up to you. Who am I replacing? No, you guys have a thing set. Here's the thing, the problem with that is you need to be here, Gavin, because you have become the absolute worst influence on Nick. And it is so fascinating. How is Nick saying? To see Nick unravel. I've learned that there are new and improved ways to fail those heists. So I didn't think it was even possible.

You and it has is bled into other facets of our work. You have turned Nick into a chaotic, unpredictable mess. It was started in GTA. It bled into what we did our last Twitch stream. Eric was like, I want to tell Kevin this story about speed. And then Nick was like, well, let me sync us up for the stream. And then it was like, OK, we'll do that. And then as soon as we sync, Nick just went, OK, we're live.

Like nobody. And we were like three minutes early. And so then Eric just had to talk about speed for three minutes. Nick is unpredictable right now in a way that is so uncharacteristic of how I've known Nick for like the past four years. And it's great. You know what, Andrew, I'm glad you brought this up and I feel like maybe it's time to finally talk about something that I have been keeping secret for a long time. This is this is what we call the Gavin effect. And the most clear example of it, I think I can I can give to you all is not a part of this podcast, but certainly podcast adjacent, I guess, in some roles.

You guys remember Michael Jones used to work at Achievement Hunter with us? He does the food podcast with us. Completely different human being before I introduced him to Gavin. Just like calm, respectful, quiet. Did he like to do crossword puzzles a lot? I don't buy any of that. kind of like a deep thinker, mousy, nerdy guy. And then I introduced him to Gavin and like three weeks later, he turned into Jersey

trash and I don't know where it came from. But it's this thing that Gavin has on some people. And what I'm saying is Nick is going to get worse. Oh, I think I believe that. I believe the next going to get worse part, but I'm excited to see it Yeah, even if I sit out and Jeff feels my slot I can still be In the recording and I can still watch Nick's feed and I can still Have the same effect. I don't know

You're like a siren it yeah, that's what I was calling the British siren. He just steers the fucking ship towards the rocks because you whisper in his fucking ear. Like it's the worst. I don't want to spoil a video, but we were in the midst of something and Gavin made an insane declaration. And we were so like things were so OK

that I wasn't even looking at my screen anymore. I was opening. I was in a food app getting ready to order myself lunch because we were we're good to go. And Gavin yelled something and I went, do I have to look up and shut down what's happening? No, it's fine. We're all good. And then we were not all good. We were very much not all good.

And that has been it's just been insane. Nick has been a crazy person in a great way. Completely unpredictable. The Nick flowering, as it were. Yeah. I'm not. Oh, man. He just keeps saying I'm helping. Oh man. He just keeps saying, I'm helping. It's the words. Speaking of video games, y'all know how I've been Soda Streaming for a while?

Oh, of course. How much I fucking love Soda Streaming. I got really into streaming. Yesterday I started doing the other one, Twitch streaming. How did that go? Oh yeah. Good. Good. Eric came over and he helped me set up my my Twitch account.

Fake Jeff is my name, which I think I must have made when we were doing like GTA and Achievement or something. Back when we had the fake age. And and I did my first ever stream. I streamed for an hour yesterday to two people. Why don't you just stream on our podcast account? Why are you using your own mini account? Just to have it built up so that if we ever have to do like multiple streams or like if we,

like you know Gavin and I did that stream with some of the old Achievement Hunter guys and I wasn't able to stream it, I just played and I'd like to have a presence that's not necessarily our main account, you know? I just figured it'd be helpful flexibility. He's a contingency for when this falls apart, at least he has his Twitch channel.

Yeah, there's that there's that too and I know Gus is Eric Gus Gavin's been working on his Getting his twitch streaming stuff up in the background, too I just figured we might as well all have it very but I it feels weird to be like the one who doesn't have it I'm gonna burn mine down there. I'm not you're having trouble with yours, huh? What's the problem I got too many camera feeds. I'm trying to do it from a pinball machine, which isn't smart to begin with. I need like three cameras and for some reason every Elgato piece of hardware I have works

50% of the time. I want to smash all of it into tiny little pieces. Is there a better solution than Elgato you could use? Yeah, black magic. Black magic, yeah. Like actual professional shit. Yeah. It's just like much more expensive. Yeah. Real shit for actual people. Yeah. That kind of thing. You got to spend money to make actual people. It's such a funny tagline for a company.

But like, I just can't. There's nothing worse than when you're trying to do the fun thing and you're like, I'm excited about this new project that I'm going to do and I have all the things that I need and you start doing it and you go, none of this works and I'm in a hell of my own making. I just can't figure out and OBS is a fricking piece of shit,

probably not and I just don't know how to use it. But why is it that if I like lose a feed of one of my cameras and it just starts shitting out green, do I have to go into the properties, pick what it is, select something different and then select the thing again? Why isn't there just like a refresh device button? I think there's a deactivate and an activate.

Okay, what is that? I'm just saying, I think that's what it is. Are you talking about like the little eyeball? Well, there's that, but I think you can double click on it and there's an activate, deactivate thing in the middle there that like turns it off as a source and then turns it back on. Okay, I'm slightly less annoyed.

Well, I mean, but that might not even be the right thing. Because it's El Gato, you might really have to switch off from it and come back. Is you trying to do the pinball thing related to what I talked to you about? No. Oh, just completely. That's a different pinball thing. That's a different pinball. I thought I thought you were.

I'm trying to get Gavin to challenge me in a pinball score off. And I thought that you were going to use your physical cabinet. Well, I did the virtual one was what you're doing. That's a hilarious. Completely. You can get the virtual version of my physical one. I have a virtual version of one of your physical ones. I'm playing it a decent amount. That's an interesting challenge.

Wait, you have you have a virtual version of a real pinball machine that Gavin has. Yes. Wow. The champions ball or whatever. What what's the bar one? Champion pub. Champion pub. Yeah, it's a great That's not the one I've plugged in Okay. Well, I'm just I'm saying I have one of the four Ken. Is this something you Gavin? Are you interested in in participating in this? Yeah

He's a pinball guy you have champion pub the one where you have to shoot the ball at the guy and like the bag And the jumper open stuff You have the punch bag and it spins around You could hit him in the face That's like the coolest. That's like the coolest pinball machine. You have like the coolest pinball machine Yeah, if you enjoy the pinball slamming into the glass and scaring the shit out of you then Gavin do you think he could be you or do you think you could be him? How confident are you? I'm not much of a pinball.

I think Gavin has the edge. Gavin's a big pinball guy. Real quiet about it, but real big into it. Yeah, it's like a little secret background hobby. I'm into it. Not so secret now. No, not as an episode 10 of this podcast. Oh, man, I kind of want to put money on this. I wanted it to be like the Halo 2 race we did where I was streaming,

like we'd go back and forth and I would stream this virtual pinball game. I've been playing. I would probably just have to play the virtual one there to keep it fair. I mean, whatever works. There's a whole other kind of element to this that's like, is there a difference between the virtual and the analog version? Well, I mean the ability to slam it around and tilt and You know nudge the ball around it's probably easier on a real one

Yeah, there's a tilt button you have that button on the virtual and I guarantee you you have like directional Yeah, left or right tilt. Yeah up and down Not up and down the left and right until. Yeah. Up and down. Not up and down, but left and right. But if it doesn't, I mean, that would give you the advantage on the real one. But for some reason to me, I feel like the virtual version would would be easier to get a high score on. What's cool about the virtual version is you can toggle between what the actual table board is like and what the like video game version of it is.

So like if you do the actual version, it's just like that guy standing there taking hits. But like the video game one, he's swinging his fists when he's hitting. And like there's just some additional graphics to it. He's just in the real one. Oh, does he? OK, well, it's just like I think the range of motion is more there's like a video gameized version of the board and then what the real board kind of works as interesting.

I'm really excited about it. I'm playing a lot of Snoopy pinball while I said that to Eric. I'm all into pinball right now. Virtual pinball haven't been in a long time into it, but having a blast. Did you ever play Sonic Spinball? Uh, no, I don't think so. I played the Pokemon pinball. God, I hate that game. Sonic Spinball? No, I don't think so. I played the Pokemon. God, I hate that game. Sonic Spinball? Sucks.

Yeah, that was a lie. Are you not a pinball guy, Eric? No, if it's free play I like pinball, but I've had to pay for it. I hate it. Also, I owned Sonic Spinball when I was a kid. I fucking, ugh, miserable. I've been playing another Jeff favorite. I got my toes, I dipped my toes in the call of the wild angler. Oh, you've been fishing a little bit. I fished one night to say I've been fishing is maybe a little bit of a stretch. And I had fun. It's a fun game.

It does the annoying thing where you have to make an account when you load in. I hate that shit so much. Yeah, it's so useless. I had such an unexpected laugh from it where you have to catch your first fish and they like every time you catch fish, you celebrate. And I got I caught I got the tiniest piece of shit fish. Just a little baby fish. Now, just look my fish. Look how happy I am with my fish.

Got this tiny little fish showing it off. It's like an inch long. There's nothing impressive about this fish. We're just like, hey, look at this. Look what I did. Hey, man, humble beginnings. You keep at it and you'll get you'll catch a goldfish someday and not a goldfish, but a gold level fish.

And it'll be huge. I like the fish is so small, his his thumb is like smothering it. Yeah, it's his thumb is larger. Is that what your beard looks like? It's it's like, yeah, it's kind of close to it. I think that's a good comparable. 0.04 kilograms. I have no idea how much that weighs.

It was small. Could someone with Photoshop put that beard on the picture of Andrew? It was small. Could someone with Photoshop put that beard on the picture of Andrew? I'll uh, I'll see I'll give a thumbs up if it's close or not to the current beard situation if that gets done But I caught my fish and then I walked into the water by accident and it crashed the game and that was my time But I'm excited to get back into it Yeah, it's a real peaceful game. It's also fun driving. You just get in a get in an SUV and just drive around Oh, it's one of those with the drives great. Yeah, the hell's a blood one. It's a real thing Yeah, it's like blood sausage, but it's a worm. Yeah

Which is really all a sausage is right big words. Yes exactly I Realized my weird fear. I'm happy for the fear diagram. Yeah, I got one. I didn't consider this a fear, but I was like, it kind of aligns with Gavin's wet bread. I hate paper, paper, not a fan of paper.

These things. I'll send a photo right now. You know those triangle paper cups? The thought of the texture on my lips gives me goosebumps. It gives you chills, right? It chills me all over. Yep, I have that. It makes me so uncomfortable. Yes, scratching of cardboard.

Same thing. But it's largely like paper texture. Don't like it at all. Yeah. But fear I don't have a wet hand. A wet hand touching paper is like that. And then I look, uh, this, the thought of like biting on paper, getting it stuck to my lips. Yeah. It makes me feel so bad on the inside, it like physically pains me.

Yeah. Sorry, that sounds similar to someone I know who has has they can't touch like a wooden spoon It's like too grippy if they drag their finger on it Like the way like you know that wood that's kind of grippy if you like yeah pull like pull your finger across a wooden spoon It like like grips and releases Yeah, I'm fine with that. I don't like popsicle sticks, though. Not a fan of those. Oh, see that's the paper is way worse, way worse with paper. I'm like a golf ball.

Like I have dimples right now. Like I'm just all goosebumps all over. Not a fan. So that is my fear. But I'm not like I didn't consider that because it's not like I'm avoiding paper cups It just triggers something in me that is unexplainable. It makes me feel very uncomfortable Which I think falls in the spirit of our fear diagram If if we have a fear diagram Andrew and we overlap the our overlap is just this Yeah, it doesn't have anything to do with getting my blood pressure taken? This is such a I hate this feeling your fear diagram is a straight line

When do people decide that was an acceptable cup as well like what was just stacking normal cups D Jeff do you think it was like the 50s? I think no people who are working on cars in the 50s Yeah, it was like they used to be waxy too Sometimes you can get them waxy and they last a little bit longer, but they're like single use. They're dog shit. They always crease in the middle. I haven't seen them in a while.

Usually, if you do see them, it's only at like an at like a mechanic shop or a car wash. Yeah, it's like let's invent a cup that you can't put down. You definitely can't put it down anywhere. I remember making this realization when I was in a bank as a child. That was where they had they had like the little water thing and those. It was an attachment to the machine and just trying to drink water out of that cup. Just being like, this is fucking weird. I don't like this. Yeah.

When are we doing our throat goat? We need to. I forgot that that was the thing. And just we've got a mouthful into a pyrex. And then we're going to put those lines, the amounts on a gopher. The throat. I am so excited to get that phone. You sent me Gavin so I could send you scan of my head. I want that so badly.

Yeah, have you not got the phone yet? Not yet. No, still waiting on the package. Yeah, it was supposed to arrive last Wednesday. I think we're still waiting on Andrew to get a puzzle too, right? I'm also waiting on the puzzle, yes. Like I thought it was delivered, but it was the wrong order that everyone else has got delivered. Yours hasn't yet. I think the person Andrew is using on Vancouver Island to forward his stuff to where he actually lives

And won't tell us I think that person's dropping the ball. Well, I think that they moved into an old age home Do you think Andrew even lives in Canada, what if he lives in like flugerville? Crazy I bet that's the hold up. It takes a long time to ship a package to Canada and then back to where it came from. Yeah. This could be on like re-importing. Oh man. I mean, you would be so mad if I was doing that. If I was making you all ship something to Canada for the annoyance of it. Pretending that you were on Pacific time the whole time?

I'm actually on the East Coast. I'm an hour ahead. You just want to wake up at noon. I have a, I have an idea on how to grow our podcast organically. I wanted to pitch you guys real fast before we end. If you guys are OK with it. Of course, I hate that my brain imagined the podcast as a seed in a pot. OK, I posted a photo. Jeff just posted a photo of Michael J. Fox, an autographed image,

and it says, Try the Shakes. It's hanging in a restaurant somewhere. I recently was in Toledo, Ohio, and I ate at a place called fucking Tony Paco's, I think. It was like a hot dog restaurant, like a Polish hot dog restaurant, or Hungarian, I think. But they were there on the map because they are, they have, they maintain the world's largest collection of celebrity autographed hot dog buns.

Speaking of which, by the way, guess who I saw there? Fucking Kevin Costner. I took a picture, I'll load it up right now. Horizon, go get your tickets, there are plenty available. That you know what, there are, there are plenty available for you if you wanna see. There's so many. Whatever time you wanna go.

Anyway, and I was, while I was there, I was just looking around, you know, I did the, I got up three different times to look at the hot dog buns and go like, oh, look, there's a celebrity there. So that's cool. And then I realized I, everybody around me was doing it. Everybody is going there and looking at the hot dog buns and looking at the celebrities. Right? So that got me thinking, what if we had a photo made, like a black and white, like 90s comedy,

like store photo of the five of us together, and then we could give them out to every restaurant in America. We could just start mailing them to restaurants with like nice phrases on it, like, try the shakes, or like, can't beat their burger, right? And they could be available upon request. We could even give them to audience members

if they wanted to then take them and deliver them to restaurants. And we could see two things. One, we could see if we could grow organically by being in, by the way, once you get in a restaurant, you're there forever. They're not, that thing's not going anywhere. It doesn't matter if you die or get canceled or anything.

Once they hang a photo up in a restaurant, it's never coming down. And then two, maybe we could break some kind of a record to be like the celebrity, not that we're celebrities, but the podcast or the group with the most photos hanging in restaurants around the world. Do you think it's like the Hollywood walk of fame where they're charging these celebrities

for their hot dog buns to maintain the space. You have to pay a secret fee. Dude, I wish I did, but I don't think so. I mean, they'll probably charge us, but that's fine. Oh, 100 percent. We're getting charged for that. We do not based on merit or there is no reason for us to be on this wall outside of we paid for a spot. These are all the different ones I took while I was there.

Hall and Oates, Billy Joel, cut that one in Willard, Willard Scott. I don't know why I took a picture of Adrian Kronauer. I think it was to show Emily's dad, maybe. And then Kevin Costner. I took a picture of anybody that I thought was associated with our podcast in any way. So if they were in on the actual bun. Yeah, it looks like it. And then the bun buns been resined.

I guess so, yeah. You think Hall and Oates recover from their beef at the hot dog bun being like, hey, remember the good times? And then each made their hand on the bun and their friends. Your left bun on right bun. Let's be bun. Anyway, that's my idea is that we get a celebrity like a photo headshot type thing made and

then we just somehow put it in the hands of every restaurant in the world. I think some would go up. Guarantee some would go up. I guarantee you there are people listening to this podcast right now that work at restaurants that are like send it to me. I'll put it up tomorrow. If we finally franchise that melting pot, we can put one up there. This is, I think, the most concerned I've been at the start of a Jeff idea on board by the end. I think I've ever been. What was your original concern? Oh, but I didn't. He posted a photo of

Michael J. Fox that said, try the shakes on it. And I was worried what direction we were going in. Fox that said, try the shakes on it. And I was worried what direction we were going in. I thought we ran the possibility that we got very tasteless joke. Oh, my God. I didn't even I didn't even make the connection. My brain immediately went there and I went, what are we doing? I was immediately laughing at that because it's in different pen, like someone else wrote it on. No, I literally just Googled here, but I'll show you. I was terrified of like, what are you doing?

I'm horrified now because that sounds terrible. No, no, no, look here. I just- And then it became clear that that is not at all what you were trying to reference. Look at my Google image search. like, OK, we're good. Jesus. It's the first one. I searched for celebrity autograph photo diner. And Michael J.

Fox is the very first one I just grabbed because it was first. I had nothing to do. I didn't make the connection either. I didn't. It didn't. The joke didn't. Instantly looked at it and went, what are we doing? No, I had no idea. It must be generational or something, because Eric and I didn't get there.

Oh, but you can see from my Google. If you if you enjoyed celebrity autograph photo diner, that's the photo. Oh, dude. Oh, man. Damn. I'm so glad that that was like a wholesome like, yeah, that's a fun. Let's send in buns. Could it be more wholesome? I don't want to send buns. Just photograph photos. Could was like a wholesome like, yeah, that's a fun. Let's send it to buns. Could it be more wholesome? I don't want to send buns. Just I'll grab photos.

Could it be more wholesome? Nothing biodegradable. Oh, well, that was a good app. Good app. I almost canceled myself in the last five minutes. I was like, what are we? Oh, boy. Oh, I'm worried about this direction. And then as. Yeah. All good. That's fun. Let's do. Let's wrap this up and then record something else.

We're recording a special video after this, right? Well, should we say what it is? Yeah. Yeah. Why wouldn't we? I think we're recording our first sausage talk. First regulation, sausage talk with with regulations questions submitted by members of the Falconteer of our Patreon. I would even I'd record another episode if we could. I'm having fun.

Yeah, you said you're a two a day guy this morning and then you disappeared. I will get when I was just saying that you were asleep. No, I didn't. I was awake the whole time. I just I said my statement. I didn't want to start a fight. I was a little gun shy after the ricochets from the last thing I said. But what but was what are you saying that because we're recording to today? Now, I was saying that because I there is a level of fear

going into these recordings that is like, oh, man, I really hope it's good. I'm really excited. But like, I hope I deliver. And when we do, too, we just deal with that all in one day. And I don't like that I'm now going to have to do this again tomorrow. Like getting all your work done on a Monday sort of feeling. Yeah. Well, it's just it's it's not even getting all my work done. It's the work that I find I'm most nervous about.

Like, I really want this to be good. And like, I feel like I need to be on my game for and just stretch it out over two days. I think I prefer because I feel like I could do six right now. Do you not feel like you have the same feeling about video game content we make? Not at all. No. Oh, OK. Because like the video game does a lot of the heavy lifting. Yeah, I feel like the video game is like it opens. I don't have to prep in the same way for it.

Like it will things will emerge from that that I can just react to. Where this is like I need to take notes and make sure my images and. You can sit down at just about any video game situation completely blind and eat out a video pretty easily. But this podcast is a whole different animal for me, at least. I completely agree. I've got so many notes. I'm excited for the next one.

I got a lot of stuff to talk about. Well, I think to it, let's go. Let's wrap up. Do you have a game? I have a game for us to play. Oh, yeah. Oh, God, damn. Oh, definitely. All right. Game.

All right. Well, somebody end it. By all of that, I mean, I this whole show, I've been trying to figure out what this note means, and it's my game. I just wrote it horribly, but I've been I've been quietly looking at it like Bogroll folders going, what is this? What does this mean? You'll find out what it means next week on the regulation podcast, the 11th episode tentatively titled, This is What This Means. Thanks for listening. Yeah, thanks for listening.
