Hello and welcome to another episode. The final episode of the Face Podcast. My name is Jeff Ramsey with me, as always, Andrew Panton, Gavin Free, Gracie, Nick and Eric as well. This is episode 206. This will go down in history as our 205th episode. How's everybody doing? I, you know what?

I'm glad that you brought that up. Sorry, Gavin, go ahead. You say your thing, because I think you're gonna say good. I said pretty, and then now I'm gonna say good. Thanks for asking. You're welcome. Glad you're pretty good, man. Well, you did not. I'm gonna say good. Thanks for asking. You're welcome Glad you're pretty good man. Well you didn't know about you Why?

Jeff I Was just trying to get credit for a thing. I didn't do I don't know why you call me out like that I Got I had some stuff I guess to unpack This is the end I gave some some of it last episode to unpack this is the end. I gave some some of it last episode. I've had this has been, I mean, obviously difficult time for all of us for a variety of reasons.

I maybe have uniquely suffered in a way that I have not shared with anyone here. Do you guys remember episode one ninety six or that a long time ago? We're going to do that whole thing. Yeah. And do you remember how I got a Herman Miller chair as part of you know yeah, you know things for it I? planned on sitting in my Herman Miller for the first time during 196 because we had this whole thing planned and while you were all uncomfortable

I would be very comfortable but then 196 got cancelled and then the company died so I am still using my shitty chair and have yet to touch my Herman Miller that's which I which I've had for months now that's it still in the box? It's ridiculous. No, it's just loose in the other room and I haven't been using it. And it is, oh, my bad. I hate this stuff. This shit stool. Can you change it right now?

Can you go over? No, because it doesn't make sense because we're close. He's the last one. He's right. Yeah, so be comfortable for the end. No, I'll be comfortable on the new thing. Yeah. I'm going to start Herman Miller on the new one. I think so. I think I might.

Should we try to release episode one ninety six in the new thing then? Yes. Yeah, absolutely. OK. All right. So let's get let's prioritize that so that Andrew can sit in his chair sooner than later They know we'll have the opposite problem. What would it be like welcome to episode 12 the 11th podcast of our? Welcome to episode 12 our 13th podcast yeah It's very us feels a hundred percent us or we just slot it in after episode 195 Us or we just slot it in after episode 195

I Well that that actually that that should be reassuring to the audience because that's us telling the audience listen We plan on this one going at least 195 episodes That would be the goal Yeah, should we start a new podcast every 206 aka 205 episodes? No, no. I fucking quit if that's... I feel it's also, I gave a little bit of a clue last episode. I'm ready to reveal my long awaited Easter egg.

Eight months. Geoff, you made fun of me saying it was nine months ago. I added some months to that. I wanted to increase the search area. Clever boy. Very clever. This is eight months old. It has been discovered, how many plays does it have?

Eight times by people that I guess just didn't know what it is. The day we recorded our potato facts episode, there was a time, I think we're making fun of you, Jeff, for having a million other podcasts. Yeah, there's something about that. And I think Eric said, what's the name of your podcast to me? And I said that it would be called the first permanent potato patches on US soil were established in 1719 here in Little Bear, New Hampshire.

I read the fact again. People assume that was a joke. near Little Bear, New Hampshire. I read the fact again. People assume that was a joke. I later that day made a podcast episode called that and uploaded it to. Oh, that's the wrong. I'm on the wrong computer.

Yeah, that was hey, going out the way I started with wrong links. I got music to computers. I made. So that fact was taken from a giant list of facts about potatoes. And I recorded myself reading that list and giving just general potato musings. It's been around for eight months waiting to be found. So you get a little bonus potato podcast on your way out for the people to enjoy. Fifteen minutes long.

I thought about making several, but I just thought that one's enough. And I waited, hoping that someone would look into it because I do say my podcast is, and then gave the name, but uh, was never discovered. The first potato patch on the US. This is the description. We're established in New York. I'm not sure what the under you have ship by Scottish Irish immigrants, please subscribe I don't think I got any subscribers unfortunately, but uh I've just been sitting on that for a while waiting

Fucking brilliant absolutely Brilliant people like it. Hopefully people enjoy their potato facts. Have you had any interest from advertisers? No, no, I haven't. Of the turns out of the eight people that have listened to it, none of them were interested or were advertisers. How did eight people find this? I don't know. But I mean, it's been eight months. It's been out for eight months at this point.

So one a month it gets, I guess the average. Are you sure that's not just you checking on it once a month? No, cause I, I, I made that announcement that I still had this, like that I had an Easter egg in the wild and I hadn't thought about it for five months at that point. And I had to, so I wasn't checking. I've checked on it probably three times. So that is that I'm trying to think, do I have anything else? I told the Gavin Slack thing that the store. I think that's it. Do you guys have anything? I do. I like I have some like

cleaning house type things. I have two things. One, I've just I was I've been trying to be reflective of the last couple years. I mean, it's it's weird, right? Because we're continuing. We're going to continue doing like we're just going to get together next Thursday and record the next podcast. It'll just be called something different. So really, nothing is going to change other than some branding. But it still is like the end of a thing.

And I've wanted to certainly like the end of an era. Maybe like this is the first tome of of the because we've already gone through all the chapters and fucking all that nonsense. And I was I was thinking about like moments that stood out to me and just like crazy coincidences or things that just made me feel like. Made me feel like the universe was telling me that we were doing something that I should continue to invest everything into, like something special or that it mattered or that I should pay attention because what we were doing was honestly something important,

at least to me. And we've talked about this a lot in the past, you know, especially for like the first two years doing this podcast kept me sane. It was my therapy. And I think it was for y'all as well. Absolutely. Because we were all navigating a lot of different challenges in our lives, some pandemic related, but also a lot that had nothing to do with it.

And so it's been an important foundation in who I am now. And it's, it is also like helped my friendship with Eric and Nick grow and brought Gracie into all of our lives. And it has only strengthened the triangle that is Gavin, Jeff and Andrew in the most unexpected and wonderful ways. And so I was trying to think back of just like one or two moments that just really stood out to me.

And the one that really that really comes to mind. And it's not a crazy moment. But when Emily and I went to surprise you all and we went to Key West, like in the July 4th weekend, we went and showed up on the camera and everybody noticed us in three seconds. And it was awesome and gratifying. And it was wild because, you know, we were sloppy. Just being go already existed on that.

But when we turned the corner and saw the hot dog man selling hot dogs and he was also selling merchandise that said, hey, face like he was selling the T-shirts that say, hey, face. And he was selling the the apron that says, hey, face. and he was selling the apron that says, hey, face, and it had nothing to do with us. It looked like a North Face logo that was like rebranded.

It was like his kitch that he was doing alongside of hot dogs, and I was just standing there thinking, out of all the places on the planet Earth for a man to sell hot dogs and hey, face merchandise, it's around the corner from the place that I didn't know existed four months ago that my fiance at the time, wife now, and I decided on a whim to fly across America to go visit in person just to stand under a camera to hopefully entertain some members of our podcast community.

And I get to turn the corner. And right there is the universe saying, hey, f*** face, this is something. I felt, it felt like such a moment in my life where I thought we can't ever stop this, what we're doing. This is the universe like gently telling me constantly in little ways, hey, you're on the right path,

keep doing it, which is why we're not gonna f***ing stop doing f*** face. We're gonna call it something else, but what we're on the right path, keep doing it. Which is why we're not going to fucking stop doing face. We're going to call it something else. But what we're doing is never going to stop. And I just wondered if you if you guys have been trying to vamp this a little bit to give you guys time to think if anything like that pops up. I do love that, that just being told by the universe that all your energy is going in the right direction. 100 percent. Yeah. And I and I really felt it in that moment.

Yeah. I don't know. It's, I had a different, where obviously I had so much fun. I was so worried about screwing up the show when we started that I, it was this weird section. I remember of like probably, I don't know when it stopped being stressful to make, but it did happen. It was probably like 140 ish, I would assume. But I just remember when us starting like I'd have so much fun as soon as we were done. But just thinking like, I can't wait for me to do a hundred of these. So it isn't it doesn't feel like a thing.

And then getting to that point of it's just been the most ridiculous playground in the best way of, as you said, like difficult years, but just knowing that there is this space that we would get to make each other laugh invaluable. So appreciated. I don't have, but I didn't, I never turned a corner and saw a hot dog man and said hey f***face on it. I wish I had something so obnoxiously on the nose but I don't. I'm trying to... The moment that I had to call Gavin and tell him that I got Wilford Brimley confused

with the other dude and that the whole world was going to find out how it like it was going to hear how dumb I was and being embarrassed, but also happy that everybody on Earth got to that was going to hear how fucking stupid I am. That was a particularly good moment, too, because I felt safe. I felt like it's OK. They're it's going to it's going to they're going to get it. And it's going to be fine.

And it's going to be it's going to be too entertaining not to to cut. I remember having a really nice moment when this was like at the end of 2020, when like a bunch of I don't know, it was like a shit time. I remember just being bummed out quite a lot. And I think it was during the recording, Andrew, where you were, you were just talking about how every time you come to Austin, you roll an ankle and I was just pissing, I was pissing myself and I remember laughing so much and tears were streaming down my face. I just took a picture of my

own face because I was like, I am, I am not this hard in years probably. And I just remember thinking that was a nice moment. So I just snapped my own head. Every time I was miserable, absolutely miserable physically due to being in Austin. When you guys flew me out to do the raid, I got so fucking sick on the second day. I'm coughing. You guys had to get me cough medicine to record the battlefront. Let's play it. It was just as a mess every time. I couldn't make it to Austin without dying in some capacity. Rollin ankles.

One year at RTX, literally everybody got the flu and my face. It's just a mess. I couldn't. I would go to R.T. I'd spend like 14 days as my RTX trip because I knew the first seven. I would be dead in some way. And so I needed time to be there when I wasn't sick or those those. You're you're the story of your journey was always the best fucking thing to listen to, though.

It was always so complicated and harder than it needed to be. And it took longer and it was convoluted. And there was like seven missteps and you ended up at the behest of strangers multiple times. It was always a wild adventure. Well, I guess that picture I just showed was the same week as extra life, because I just found a picture of my bruised legs, but it really looks like I have a vagina

I'm not sure I could even post it No, I'm like I'm like I think I've got nothing on so I'm Just post it and delete it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, don't delete it though, we're good. Screenshot, screenshot, screenshot, screenshot, screenshot. Yeah. Ah! It does! You, I don't, I, like, you described what it is. Oh, that's so funny.

But somehow it's still undersold of exactly how it looks. Which is exactly what you described. Like, It's my fingers, it's like I'm Exactly how it looks, which is exactly what you described. It's my fingers. It's like I'm cutting. Sure, man, yeah, whatever you say.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, dude, that's your fingers. Sure, dude. Oh my God, Gavin, thank you for sharing that on the last. Oh. That is so fucking crazy. Oh my God. I should have said, Gracie, look away before posting that. Oh my god. Gracie, you've had to see way too much of me.

I deeply apologize. Oh, thank you. That actually, thank you, Gavin. That's a great point. When you guys, I don't know if you've come to terms with this, you guys are going to need to wax your assholes again, and it's your fault Oh, when we're doing that I Pitched that we should make the thing green so we could just put whatever we wanted as the backdrop

But no you had to have the name of the show on it, which is no longer our show We can't use those inserts anymore. We're gonna do it again inserts Yeah, we'll do it again as long as my good friends Nick and Eric will join me in the act. I'll do it again. Absolutely What do you mean? No? What do you mean you want us to do? I'm not gonna do that. You guys are gonna do it Oh, we're gonna do it twice all you have to do it is once Nick's gonna do it. Yeah, it's a stand-up guy I'm gonna do it zero times Nick's gonna do it once it once. Nick's it. Nick's in on this. Don't don't listen to Eric.

You have to lay down to do it. And I'm a stand up guy. Are you not working on the next thing? I'm definitely working on the next thing. I'm not doing this for it. Huh? Well, that is hey, it's it. It's all a negotiation. We'll figure it out.

We got nothing but time. Everyone has a price. That's right. Everybody does. It brought me so much joy realizing that you get, we can't use those anymore. This video is not, we'll have to do it again. I'm just hearing about this and thinking about it for the first time in this moment.

And it's a, it's kind of funny. You know what I've just realized? What? This is the last recording where Eric's my boss. It's true. Right now I am Gavin's boss technically. Yes. All right.

Should we do my review? Yeah. Do you want to do your review? This is what I had planned for it. Okay. So I wanted to go out to before the company shut down and everything. I wanted to take Gavin out to dinner and then do his formal review. Just sort of talk about, so this is how I would go.

Gavin. Um, yeah, thanks for joining me. This has been, uh, I really. review. Just sort of talk about so this is how I would go Gavin. Thanks for joining me. This has been any time I really respect our working relationship and everything. How have you been feeling? Let's let's pretend like the company isn't going under or whatever. This is okay a situation where we're at. How are you feeling with you know how things are going where you're at and where you want to be right now? Phenomenal. I think the podcast has, there's no end in sight. I think we could just keep doing this.

It's fun every week. And I don't see it going away anytime soon. Oh, that's fantastic. That's so good to hear. I'm really glad because I think your contribution, oh, thank you so much. That's me getting a steak. We ordered steaks and they just sent it in front of me. What kind of cut did you get? I got the perfect 10, which is just like a big like cowboy style steak. And it's just it's like I got it's like they put butter on it.

It's like a compote. I'm I'm fucking stoked. Thank you so much. Gavin, I'm so glad. Excuse me. Sorry. Sorry. One sec.

One sec. Sorry. I ordered the the peppercorn sauce. Yeah. Yeah. thanks. Good call. I'm glad you got what you wanted and that's what I'm hoping to provide you here.

You always forget the sauce here. It's crazy, but you know, it's service, you get what you pay for, right? So just sort of looking at where we're at, our reach and what we're doing, just over the last year and going into this year, what I wanna say is, please don't go, please don't go, please don't go,

please don't go, can you stay, please stay, please stay, please don't go, please don't go, you're our only hope, can you please stay, please stay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Is that gonna work for you? Hey, that's every performance review I ever gave for 21 years. And it did sound like that because I learned from the best.

I think, Jeff, over the eight or nine years I worked under you, we only had one performance review. And then afterwards you were like, that was dumb, why did we do that? Every day was a performance review. Are you my boss as well, Erik, technically? No, no, no. Who's my boss then Sarah technically, but I only do that You're also you're also a contractor also Gracie in the chat just said me so Gracie's your boss. Hey, Gracie's my boss Dude, how do you do these last three years? Oh You got a happy face big happy face I like that. Yeah, that's how he did

That's great cuz y'all know I've I've been here three years. Oh definitely Mm-hmm excellent work in her Thanks, well, I didn't I wish I knew I Genuinely don't know who I'm supposed to report to you. I thought it was you Eric. I'm well No, I mean what reporting are you doing? I don't I don't whatever reporting he was doing he wasn't doing it apparently I feel like I should report to someone and I never know who to report I really well I think my all we all get to report to the unemployment line tomorrow

I Think I'm gonna still get paid I feel like my trajectory of roosterteeth is Milton from Office Space and that I'm I have been in the basement the whole time and I just I'm here but nobody realizes Oh, that'd be awesome. And then you burn the place down. Yeah. Well, that's I wanted to have a performance review. That's too bad. I Guess great. I could have a Gracie. I'm trying to think if I ever reported anything to Eric. Hmm I don't think so reported reported what that's what I'm trying to think if I ever reported anything to Eric. Hmm. I don't think so. Reported, reported what? That's what I'm saying.

Are you my boss, Eric? Uh, no. The only people that I was going to be in charge of was you and they're like, and Gus? And I went, that doesn't make any sense. And they went, okay, yeah, not Gus. In what world? It was just people that it felt like no one else wanted to like have to deal with yeah Well, no time out for a second. I didn't start doing let's play until

October is when we did that who is my boss before that did I have them? No, I mean it was probably it. Yeah, it was probably Sarah or stab Yeah, also you keep saying boss like you're you're a contractor yeah we have a for we just pay you for services rendered bud I don't know how any of this works I'd I hey clearly well now now Andrew you're a partner hell yeah whatever that means did you I don't know reimbursed for the bog? What bog?

The ping pong that you bought. No, I never, no, I never, no. I never assumed I would. Why would I? It's for the company. We gotta secure that thing soon. You do. And if we don't, we need to put an air tag in it

just to see where it goes. No, I think we still need it for stuff. I would like to have it. I'm just saying if that's not a reality we at least need an air tag on it We just kept saying I think three times that we're gonna get it and we're gonna take it and you can go well Put an air tag in it. I don't know why we we will have it. We will get it. I don't it's huge It's big. I don't know where we're gonna store it Jeff didn't have room for me to send him waffle makers all of a sudden he's gonna have a fucking porta potty. We've already secured a look you understand Jeff's situation

Like what are you talking about? What are you talking about? Oh my God? I'm talking about Jeff and his inability to have a porta potty I will first off. I already had the porta body here. We almost sold it. We've secured. I refused I almost refused to accept it We've uh for two fucking weeks. I dodged that guy we've We've secured a location for it. We've got a place to keep it safe and sound okay. We're good Is it what we talked about yeah, okay? Yeah

Well wait why don't I know hey? Why don't I know that I feel like if anyone should know I gotta be You probably you know you were probably in the conversation, but you were fucking around I'm not paying attention. I absolutely I know I listen I lock in when it's serious on his business stuff Porta potty stuff don't I walk right now. I'm locked in right now. Yeah Less of a lock than I would be for a serious work thing, but I'm locked okay I'm like a lock that you could kick through. I'm not as like the most secure. I'm not a vault When I'm in work mode like serious work mode. I'm a volt. This is like a padlock. Mm-hmm. Okay, I'm padlocked in Oh, dear. I've just I've realized the the picture I sent is the least vaginary of three pictures

What the fuck are you talking about? Oh my god, I see you look away That one's That's way worse Fuck you not look you we can't post These have to stay here We can't post these. We cannot post these. These have to stay here. These have to stay here. There's an extra one. I got bruised. Yeah, but can I?

This is fucking underwear on! I'm wearing it! He is wearing it. You can see his underwear. He is wearing it. Oh my god. It's just right next to his vaginal lips. I just covered my underwear with my vagina. It made it so much worse. It looks like a frotchless panties My I don't know how I did that that was so unintentional. Hey Gav. Yeah, you got plans tonight

Now I get my review from Jeff God this is Jeff giving a photo review. Also Also it didn't sound like Gracie looked away. I don't think so. I think Gracie was locked in. Gracie was real locked in. Oh yeah she sounded vaulted. That was a definite vaulted in. Full eyes on screen. Sorry. We'll lose. Does anybody else have any housekeeping or anything else they want? I have another thing I was going to go through as well, like loose ends kind of thing. But I want to give anybody else the opportunities to. I never I never figured out Bogro folders, which is unfortunate.

I'll keep thinking about that. But that's that's one of the few things. OK, yeah, no, I don't really have any. So we all keep notes files, right? Gavin, I've seen yours. It's it's ridiculously long um, I have a big long notes file too and I thought like because we're gonna you know flip over to do the new thing Maybe it'd be good to turn over a new leaf have a fresh start And so I was thinking I'm just gonna

Get rid of those notes and just start a new fresh file and all the all everything new we'll talk about will be new ideas and new fresh file and all the everything new we'll talk about will be new ideas and new new thoughts and just flush out that old stuff because we never got to it. It was obviously never important enough to make it into an episode. So why hang on to it? Right. But I thought I'd go back and look through all of my old notes that we never talked about and just see if there was one or two or three things that might be fun to discuss.

So I pulled out four things that I either never talked about or only began to talk about, but never really followed up on. And I'm just gonna say them all now. And then I've, instead of taking them one by one and giving each one space, I thought maybe we could, I'd throw them all out there. And then if any of them are interesting,

then we could explore it. Does that make sense? Yes. Okay. First one was, do you think you've eaten more pizza or hamburgers in your life and In addition to that what is the thing you think you've eaten the most of in your life? And what do you think is more popular globally pizza or hamburgers the next one idea?

I had was I think that it would be a good idea The way you guys let's talk about that the first one first you want to know so you want to take them one by one then okay? It's a definitely pizza. Okay, definitely more Pete Beats has been consumed more the thing I've eaten the most of undeniably is chicken specifically like chicken nuggets or strips Devour mine would be mine would be pen a pasta pen a What do you say penny?

Yeah, I I think mine might be hamburgers to both Really? Yeah. Yeah, I think I've eaten peanut butter the most probably Oh Nick's and cheese by weight more peanut butter than anything else Yeah, maybe peanut butter is dense. It's it's very dense and like I'm just not most not not in my adult life Like in my adult like in my adult life not eating peanut butter soup or on the regular as a kid Full like full peanut butter meals dude like yeah, but peanut butter was would never be more than like 50% of no no no no You're wrong. Yeah, I don't agree with that what you've never just shoved the spoon in a char of peanut butter Yeah, done that a lot apps like still in the field butter. Yeah like going insane. There's more apple than peanut butter though

No, no no no you're eating it wrong. Yeah, you're eating all fucked up So you have a slice of apple and then you scoop Yeah, what one slice of that on a shadow of a doubt equals two slice size of peanut butter when it's all said and done How does the the maths of that even work out? Cuz you well you you scoop the peanut butter you scoop the peanut butter with the apple slice and it's a lot Because you take a bite, you dip. You scoop the peanut butter with the apple slice, and it's a lot, and you take a bite of that, and then you have half an apple slice, and then you do it one more time with that apple slice. So you're double dipping for sure.

Yeah. No, you flip the apple slice around the other way. Yeah. Or it's your fucking house double dip if you want to. That is true. Also, I'm eight years old so God's dead Yeah, I think I think it's probably peanut butter for me number one there's no way So like for me my entire life. I feel like when I think lunch. I think oh what hamburger am I going to eat today?

Really yeah, it's like the the first food I think of. Yeah. Peanut butter and chocolate sandwich. It's not my favorite or anything, but like if I'm just thinking like, oh, I'm getting a little hungry. Do I go, do I want to eat a Billy's today or do I want to go to the pool burger? Yeah. But if you're talking just like what's around the house, I feel like you always can make a sandwich. You can't always make a hamburger though.

Oh, you don't know what's in my fridge. If I- I'm always ready for burger time. So you could make a burger right now. I could. Yeah, absolutely. Hmm. Could all how many of us could make a burger right now if we wanted to? I could. I could. I absolutely could.

Yeah, everybody. It's fantastic. Well, everyone except me. I don't count. OK, I make a bacon. I can make a bacon and jalapeno cheeseburger right now I wanted to you ever had peanut butter on a burger. I feel like that's a trendy thing No, never heard it. Yes, I have is it good good. It's fine. It's okay. Yeah, whatever Okay, so so everybody seems to think they've eaten more pizza in their life than hamburgers.

That's cool, that's interesting. I'm hamburgers over pizza. Oh right, you were hamburgers. I think I'm probably hamburgers, well definitely hamburgers as well. The second thing I had is I think it's, we should investigate someday. You know how like Michelin got started

and how it's just the tire company, but now they're like the Michelin, they issue the stars and they're like the subject matter experts on food. Right. Yeah. But they just started as a tire company. Right. Or like Guinness is a beer company that also does the world records. Why don't we create?

Here's everything. OK. I know. I just never put that together. That's crazy. Yeah Wow people were like arguing over over Guinness all the time over about shit And so they just decided to create the the book that settles all the arguments We should create a national hot dog registry Where all the best hot dogs that are made in North America are listed and you can, and then, so if you go to a strange town, you can pull up the register and you go,

oh, I know there's three good hot dogs within eight miles of me. So it'll be like that Moriarty app for escape rooms, but just for hot dogs. Yes, yes, exactly. And then maybe at some point, if we develop a little bit of cache, it becomes like a Michelin for hot dogs

And you get your you get your your hot dog like three regulation rated or whatever, and then it's like it's a big deal We could have an awards ceremony. I Love it. Yeah Something to think about going that is that gonna be a uniform thing a Uniform or a regulation thing yeah, I think probably it's kind of like a like a regulation Yeah, I think that's not a bad idea The the next thing I had we're almost done. I only have two more the next thing is Do you guys think we should make toothpicks a thing again?

Who I've been a big toothpick guy Recently I feel like I was way into toothpicks when I was a kid and I was watching Masters of the Air and since they don't Let anybody smoke cigarettes anymore even in the past when people actually smoked cigarettes, they all just have like toothpicks in their mouths. And, uh, and I got me thinking toothpicks are pretty fucking cool, especially the flavored ones, like a cinnamon toothpick. It's pretty nice. You want to get into flavored toothpicks? Maybe, like maybe we could contemporize toothpicks. Oh, maybe we should make our own flavors and saturate our toothpicks and then we'll try them.

Ooh, like a waffle bomb toothpick. Yeah. Oh god. I feel like those little floss pick things have outdone them. Yeah, I think they're a fad. Yeah, I don't. I think the flosser picks are here to stay. And now I associate two picks with like long haul truckers. You know what I mean?

Like they're dipping them and like staying up. Here's our play. Here's our play. You can dip them to stay up. Easy, that's true. Two, those flossers you're talking about, they're plastic full of micro plastics every time you use it You're probably poisoning your mouth

You get down there in there in your nether regions and just filling it with micro plastics We need to return to wood if you're gonna put it in your mouth. It needs to be wood I Think Gracie has a great point which is we need to bring back a piece of wheat That's good too. That's good too. Why do you get wheat from? Is that Buckley? Is it?

It looks just like him. Okay, last thing I have and then I'm done and then I'm gonna close the books on all my f***ing face ideas and delete the file. I think, you know, as you guys know, I'm a big tick tocker now. Now that the government doesn't like it, I like it. And so I've been watching a ton of tick tock. And I think that we I think that there's a market there because we're clever.

We're clever people. Right. We're very smart. We, we make games and ideas. Think of all the games we made in Minecraft, Gavin. Think of all that work we've done. Think of all the clever things we've invented. TikTok is a wash with made up sports that people are inventing themselves. There's the pool balls on the treadmill,

there's the people that race marbles, there are the dudes that swing bottles at each other and see which one breaks. I feel like between the five of us, we could create the next great tick tock sport. I agree with that. I just an immediate thought that came from that statement is there's sort of this common vernacular of like street smarts versus school smarts. How would you categorize your Minecraft smarts that you're presenting? The ability to make game modes, nerd smarts, nerd smarts versus school smarts, how would you categorize your Minecraft smarts that you're presenting the ability to make game modes?

Nerd smarts. Nerd smarts. OK. Yeah. Actually like that. That was good. I feel like we should we should rent a steam roller, right? Mm hmm. So I've got so far. We should rent a steam roller and then try to flatten and then unflatten things What's the difference between a steamroller and an iron is just scale couple hundred thousand pounds? Yeah? What do you what do you mean? Do you want to get into like steamrolling your underwear? Well? No, I'm just I'm sure I don't really know what a steamroller does

Did you iron a shirt properly with a steamroller though? Let's get an ironing board and a shirt and a steamroller and see if we get better results than an iron. Well, it's it's functionally supposed to be the same, right? It's just like a larger. Yeah, you could you could do your entire wardrobe in one roll. Let's get into really long ironing boards. Or let's make a steamrolling iron. That's like a little mini steamroller that you can iron.

Oh, we'll make it really heavy. We'll make it out of like tungsten, heated tungsten. Oh God. Let's make the most premium automated iron the world has ever seen. I think it's a great idea. And if it's remote control and we can drive it up back and forth over the ironing boards You have to put use your own pressure. Oh, this is awesome You went through a little phase of wanting to get into RC cars like still do this. Don't do combine in yeah

I'm by the way that is that's on the that's on the back burner, but that's very much still the pin is still in it it's just a I don't think I remember but we all lost our jobs and then yeah, they really Sales of the high-end a C car idea. Yeah, those those $800 RC cars started looking a lot less interesting Over the last month or so, but we'll get back there. We'll get back maybe So who's in charge of all the money at the next thing Not it not it We're hiring a we're hiring a company Because because we say who's in charge of all the money which makes me think that none of us should be in charge of all the money

I was immediately thinking how do I how do I spend forty five hundred dollars on a block of tungsten? Yeah, exactly. I Didn't say not me because I felt I disqualified myself by asking what's the difference between an iron and a steamroller? I'm not in the running for this race. That's okay. Oh We're fucked We're gonna try I've got so many notes that I either don't understand or have no idea if I've ever brought up I love it. Let's do it hit me me with it What is Andrew confused about bats? What is he then what confused about bats did I text you about bats maybe

Spit take thinking about alien pussy Oh Was that from our was that from our our smut that we wrote? No, no, this is years ago, baby advert for milk quarantine pasta Wasp fan. Yeah, I don't know any of this Wasp fan is when your fan got got the wasp nest in it. Yeah, oh natural fan No, yeah, not someone who was a fan of wasps. Yeah

Gavin's notes list is like playing fucking connections or you're trying to interpret. Is it literal? Is it a saying? What is the context to which this word is being used? Is it a word that means multiple things? An outlet's off guy or not? A what?

An outlet's off guy or not? Turn the outlets off, maybe. Oh, does that mean there you like trip the breaker on the outlet so that it's not active why would I be that kind of guy there would that reduce your power bill maybe your electric bill maybe you turned off the now I can't be drawn any power well it has to right doesn't it always have to be technically? Yeah, but to be such a small amount. I don't know. Bag full of cocaine. Nothing else. Oh,

that was when I wanted to have a suitcase that was full of full to the brim of just cocaine powder to see if they could see it on the x-ray. Instead of it looking like a secret hidden compartment, it would just be entirely coke. I was wondering if I could get through. How much does an x-ray machine cost? You have to be able to buy those, right? I've never considered that, but... Well the airports are getting rid of them all for those like CT scanners now, so there's probably a bunch of x-ray shit on the market.

Let's see. Airport skinner cost. I have a question for you, Gavin, is wrapping up old, old things and. Face territory thing that I've pretended to not care about, but still think about. Is it the time in Halo that I have better than you? So no, it's a halo related thing, though. What was the word you made up? Do you remember what was the. Oh, oh, you told us.

What was made up? Word must have. We're playing Halo just to give context for this. And Gavin tried to. He said, you ever hear about. And then he said a word and I was like, that's just made that up. That's fake. And he immediately folded. But then I forgot what it was called.

And he was. Yeah. And then I wrote it. I wrote it for everyone else, didn't I? I told them. Yeah, I took a picture of it or something, but I don't know how I'd find it. But I don't remember. And I pretended like I haven't cared what I have. So I thought. And I remembered what was the word. I can't be chasel. That's Jeff's new favorite.

Jizzle, a term. Yeah. Chisel, I've sent in a text to Jeff and Eric, maybe. I think you sent a photo of it. If the end of this arc is you not knowing it and being unable to find it, I'm totally okay with that. That's great. I'm happy. What would it have began with? Great question. I've been wondering the same.

This is the word that we were saying or this is the word that Gavin made up? Oh, I forgot about that. Wait, which one was that? Nothing. Nothing. I Nothing about that That's unrelated. Don't worry about that gavin. It's not something I know about No, just trying to find your word. Yeah, what's your word gav? We've got we got multiple words in the mix I mean not if you can't remember your word

Yeah, I guess it depends on you, doesn't it? I did see one subreddit thread about our word and it made me very happy where there's just like he's really trying to make that thing. Oh, I found my list of punch lines without without setups. That's my wife. That's not a goose. That's my wife. It's a newspaper with likes. One of my notes just says Alanis Morissette. What's that about?

Was that feet related? I don't know. What year was that word? This is the best case scenario for me. I'm so happy I asked. I can't say, I don't know. I definitely made some guesses in our text chain if you want to point a reference.

What were the guesses? Why? You think I know? I don't even know the word. You think I know my guesses that were all? Fuck. Do we know what zero percent chance? Well, all you think about that, I have a clip.

Oh, my God. Was did you find it, Gavin, or was that a reaction by clip? That was your clip. It's not it's an unrelated sea thief story, but it is a very funny clip that I would like share. I was so sea of thieves. You have an emote where you can hide in a barrel. And so the goal is to sneak into somebody ship and then barely emote

and be sneaky. And so I see bullshit. I snuck into a boat and I thought I'm this is I'm so well placed They will never know that I'm here and here's a link to the clip. I don't think it shows it Before that clip begins One of them ran down into this area and then ran back upstairs and I thought I am in the clear Let me know when you watch the clip. Oh Yeah, good.

Yeah, that's a good spot. Yeah, so I'm like, oh, this is a great position I'm in. I'm so tough today. It's like I'm playing Proplant. It is like I'm playing Proplant. I'm like, it looks so natural. I really... I can't complain about this. I feel really secure. I'll just wait until they like, they're selling stuff or looting later, and then I'll pop out and I'll really get the upper hand on them.

Show them a thing or two. And that is not what ended up happening at all. the guy the guy ran past me once and he clearly was like oh this idiot is right there so then he went out and he got his entire crew and they all came down together and he's like this idiot and then they blew me away they all just melted with shotgun shots They all came they all do he's like yeah, let's go see this idiot there. I had no chance Anyway, see these is great. I'm excited for us to play more of it. I don't have any other clips. I don't have any other The past things Gavin you figure out your work yet

No, I'm trying to look back through our texts. We text so much. Yeah, that's so many. Well, we used to. Oh, that felt like a dig. What was the meaning of the word? Do you remember? No, I don't remember anything about it outside of... It was a really obviously fake sounding thing,

and then I forgot it. And then you refuse to tell me. Buckley, the more waste the last episode, I can search and. It's crazy to think that this is the end. Like, obviously, we've known for a long time, but not, you know, the end in the sense of this will be nothing to the audience. We're gonna be on a different feed on Wednesday. Everything will be the same I mean doesn't feel like a ton for us either like we're just gonna keep going

I don't know feels like an end to me. I think because of the company more so closing that necessarily because this like all of All of the closest friendships I have are connected through the company. It's crazy that that will cease to exist. It's weird to think that the thing that meant so much to me that somebody who is my age when I found it just will not have that opportunity to find and have a similar journey. At least for that. I mean we're building a new exciting thing. Um, yeah.

I was saying on the receive podcast that it really is, I don't know, I've, I've, because I've grown up doing this really, but it is so amazed, such an amazing feeling to have a platform where you can make people laugh. Like when people say that they were like, they like spat out their drink at something I said, I just can't beat that feeling. I think that's the reason I don't ever want to stop doing this. It might be the best feeling in the world. It's really, yeah, it's an incredible feeling,

especially to get to do with people you love making stuff with. Like it's a double. It is so rewarding personally and touching to know that we have a platform in which allows us to connect with people and and bring laughter to their day, as well as just being able to bring laughter to people's days that I know. And I have a different relationship with. It's awesome. It's the best of both scenarios. I wrote a little thing to read

as like a thank you to the audience and that type of thing. I decided to record it independently because it's like, I don't know. I'm an easy crier and I'm glad I did. Jesus Christ. Messy boy. Did you cry the multiple takes? OK, well, Jesus Christ, I felt like I was in a musical. You all like a little baby. multiple takes Okay, well Jesus Christ that I felt like I was in a musical you Like a little baby Just waiting for you to stop so we can all say our jokes. Yes. It was great

Okay, Jeff joke one. I don't even what I asked Eric joke to Was it the potato thing you already recorded? No, no. Oh, did you cry like a baby? Was it embarrassing? Was it like sobbing or was it like dignified tears? It was, I think, a good medium between dignified tears and baby tears. But it's, you know, that's not, well, it's not hard to do with me. Let me just say, as someone who's never cried on camera in his life. Disgusted by you. No, I'm up.

What is a hop up? Nick, you know, when you're someone's crying so much. Oh, OK. Yeah, no, no. Yeah, I didn't have that. I think the last time I had that was when I saw me early, the dying girl. That would got me as well. I've never never saw that, but I guess she died. I guess she died.

Well, yes, she dies. And I was it hit. It was just, you know, I don't know what it was, but that day it hit hard. And it's the hardest. I think I've cried in a movie. And it was so bad that I had to start staring at the ceiling to like gather myself, because I was like, this is insane. I this is ridiculous. I just ridiculous.

I'm just crying. And I was like, OK, OK, I'm all good. And I brought my eyes back down and she was still dying. And I know I'll back to the roof. I can't. Is that what that that TV? I never watched it, but that My Name is Earl show was about. He was apologizing to everybody because he because he killed that girl. It was like a mix between me, Earl and the dying girl and Dexter

He would kill a different person every week and Yeah, first season was great John let's go. Do you know is John let's go and not gal Hmm. I saw him in an interview, and he said John let's go and I went what the fuck Do you cover that in your message to the audience I do Yeah, that's actually what I both open and close with our are we gonna hear your message, too Are you gonna play it for us or is it a thing? I'm not gonna play it now. I mean we're no end and then it'll Kelly who edits this show does a wonderful job, so we don't get to hear it till the audience does yeah This is Kelly's last edit then is it?

That sucks Shout out to Kelly shout out to Kelly shout out to Kelly Absolutely tremendous job every every fucking week week in week out Amazing editor, and I think something that has added so much to our show that we've been lucky that so many of the people that have hands in it care about it and enjoy it. And I think that that, when you have that, it shows in the work.

And get it as well, you know. Yes. Because humor is subjective and one of the things that I've learned over the last, you know, however many hundred and fifty years of doing this is that an editor can absolutely make or break a production. And the fact that Kelly 100 percent gets what we're doing

and then is able to enhance it with her talents and abilities is fucking amazing. Can I ask a completely unrelated question? Any. Yeah. Do vitamins work? There's a lot of controversy over that. Are vitamins real that a lot of controversy over that. Are vitamins real? That a lot of people know. I don't think so. Great. Really?

Is that different to like a supplement? Yeah. No supplements as well. Gracie said I've tried hundreds. What do you mean by that? Like I went through a really weird phase in college where like I really wanted to find a vitamin that worked. And so I thought I mean by worked. Yeah. Well how would you track like this?

You felt like in some way, for example. Yeah. Example, I would like feel better. Or some of them are targeted to like, oh, you're not going to bloat or like, oh, this is going to make your hair grow. I've never noticed anything that I've ever tried for a while. And it never did anything for me. I don't I don't want to make any you know

I could be wrong about this I feel like we're in different realms though like I'm talking about vitamin C And you're talking about hair growth pills, and I don't feel like they're quite the same I've also tried like a multivitamin With vitamin C in it, but how would you know whether it worked? I mean, I didn't feel any different, so I'm assuming it didn't do anything. Yeah, but I don't think it's supposed to. According to Harvard University, if you take a multivitamin,

it's probably because you wanna do everything you can to protect your health, but there is still limited evidence that a daily cocktail of essential vitamins and minerals actually delivers what you expect. Most studies find no benefit from multivitamins in protecting brain or heart. Well, I'm just straight up vitamin C. What about singular vitamins?

But what are you? Okay. So you're saying vitamin C. What are you trying to do with vitamin C? I don't really know. To be honest, I got it. You're just you're just picking one and going for it. Well, it was when I first started to get like my cold.

I got a big bottle of vitamin chewable vitamin C and I'm taking them But I don't I just I feel I don't know I feel like I've heard it's sort of like diet soda for me I feel like I've heard it's better. I feel like I've heard it's worse. I feel like it flip-flops I just I don't know I was hoping somebody here would have a more informed opinion on the effect I mean vitamin C doesn't it's not gonna like cure the cold It's vitamin C is just no but like it'll help like is there is there a value Beyond if I like the taste of this in consuming it. Well, yeah, it depends on what you're taking like I take potassium Like often like I'll eat a banana every day

Whatever I get a lot of like cramps, like leg cramps, foot cramps. When I'm cramping and I take potassium, vitamin K, that helps me almost immediately. So yes. Now, is that whether you take a pill or eat the banana? Because I would imagine eating the banana gets you a better form of potassium. It is, it's either way.

It is like- That's interesting. Do you think that might be a placebo at this point? No No, because the way that I'm feeling and the way that it works for me is boy It works because when I don't and you just try to go like I don't need it this time and then you go I'm in hell. I'm in hell. I'm in hell. Hey, I totally get that. I feel the same way about Miralax But I don't think vitamin C does anything for like the cold. No, I just wondered if like am I improving my body in any way? Like consuming this.

It helps your body make collagen, which you know helps you grow skin and cartilage and tendons and stuff. I could use some tendons. Yeah. I like that idea. I could use some tendons. Yeah, I like that idea. I could use some more tendon. I just don't know that the idea of the multivitamin has been proven to work. But like, yeah, I know oranges. You're going to get a benefit from the vitamin C that you eat that way. Because I feel like vitamin water doesn't work either.

Right. That's also like it filters out. Yeah, that's like that. Yeah, that's nothing. I don't know. Absolutely. Gavin, you figure out your word yet or what? I'm looking through. Hmm. God, while you guys were Andrew or somebody was doing like a heartfelt talking about the end of the show or something, I completely zoned out

to try to find that stupid word and I didn't get any. That's fine. I should probably say where people could go to find information about the next thing we'll do, which I would say is all of our personal socials. Yeah, I would say that our personal social media for me, that's at Eric Badour on all social media. That'll be a place where we you can stay updated on what we're doing next. If you guys want to call out your personal socials where people can find more information. Yeah, I'm on Instagram at at Jeff L. Ramsey and tick tock at Jeff's Daily Rip.

I'll communicate both through both of those. Here's the thing, though. Next week on a Wednesday when face is supposed to come out and you're like, oh, fuck, where's face it's over. It's not it's it's's over. It's not. It's it's coming out. It's a new thing. Just look, go to our socials and we'll tell you where it is and there will be a new thing. And you'll go, oh, fuck, we didn't skip a beat.

It's just like you're never nothing ever stopped. There will be a regulation episode out just like you normally would have every Wednesday. Yes. And every Wednesday going forward until we can't make this any longer. I'm so excited to build that thing with all of you in our amazing community. Does anyone else want to say their social media so that we people. I'm at Andrew Pinton and I'm not at Rooster Teeth. So don't go there because I will not be posting there any updates Gavin free

Wasn't a joke Nick, that's my name I can't think of a more poignant way the than to wrap up the last two hundred and six five episodes Then then all disinterested Lee sharing our socials Wait wait Gavin say say your name again one second say it's Gavin free So is this the last episode that Eric will want us to end No, will you keep up that shtick next time? He's still the producer. He's still producing.

Yeah, I need it to end. I have other things to do. There's a bunch of other shit. I'm getting... What other things are you going to have to do? I have people messaging me right now that are working for this current company saying, hey, I need you to call me ASAP. Oh.

Right, but what will they be? You won't have that next time. No, but I'll be working with different comp. I'll be working with different companies and different people to try to get us different opportunities and more things. So that way we can continue to do this. The growth doesn't end as much as you all want to dis interestingly give your social media so we can sort of market this, which is something we failed to do for the last

two years. Uh, it's two years. We've never had marketing for the last two years, it's something that needs to happen. We've never had marketing for this show. Ever. I agree. Yeah, I agree. Can't even get in a fucking variety article! Is that why we should announce a new name?

Yeah, yeah. Finus and variety. Variety's nuts. Fuck, dude. That really did piss me off. It's the most successful fucking thing the company had going for it. Fuck dude that really did piss me off The most successful fucking thing the company had going for it it got omitted. Oh my god story of my fucking life Flammering for a little bit of respect for all the fucking hard work. We're doing I heard rumors

That if this doesn't go well, Jeff's gonna have to go back to machinima. So please Don't make me bob heads I Spent the last 15 minutes trying to find a fake word. I could easily just make up a new It was it was Clemens Oh that might have been it. Yeah. I like the old one better. Oh, Grungle? That actually sounded closer to the old one. That episode was a real zazzle. Do you guys want to take us out? Hell yeah. Yeah, let's do it. Did everyone say that hot-felt thing? Go for it, Gavin. I already did mine, you were ignoring it. Oh, I was trying to find your stupid word

What so was I full what Eric? I think I think like Warner you should take this thing out back and just put a bullet in it No, between the eyes. Oh, do we have a bullet sound should we just end on a gunshot? No, let's end like silence Yeah, let's end like, silence. What's the brand? Someone's mouth? Yeah, that was me. As close as I got. We should take, we should take real firing squad execution videos and put that sound over them. No, we shouldn't.

It's such a tasteful idea. But Lee... But Lee... All right, well, find us next week for a new episode. Very excited to continue this with you guys. Very excited for the fans who want to support us that can support us directly and help us grow and make the show the way that we want to make it so that way you're getting the best that we want to make it so that way

You're getting the best version of it. I but I just I think that'll do it Yeah, I just process Gavin wanted to end this episode with an execution firing squad And it would go into me crying about how much the community is meant to us. I Mean it feels pretty par for the course. Oh Goddamn, I do want to say, though, before it before we do transition into Andrew crying again, I do I do want to say that I do think, you know, we've joked around about it. We've we've hemmed and hawed. But the future of what we're doing, I think, is very bright.

And I want you the audience to know that we are all very excited about it. We're very invested in it. I am excited. I've spent 21 years building shit like this and I'm so fucking excited to be able to start over again and build it with the small dedicated core of incredibly stupid people that is going gonna take this thing going forward. And I just want, I hope we've done a good job, and I know we haven't because we don't do a good job of much, but of conveying to y'all that not only is this not slowing down or stopping,

it's gonna speed up and we're gonna be bigger and better. It's gonna take some time and a lot of it is gonna depend on you because we are now in your hands. And that's OK. We're very comfortable. We I think we've built a great relationship between the audience and the regulation crew. And I'm very excited to go forward with you guys on this new thing. And I really, really, really hope you'll tune in.

And and more so I hope you'll tell people about it because we're entering into uncharted territory. There's no safety net going forward. And we really we really need to to to fucking nail it. And so it's going to take your help. But if you if you support us, we're going to do our goddamn just to make you laugh along the way. Sorry about my vagina.

And I'm not it's like I beat off twice already back for ending in the camera fantastic no you were that wrestling let's play all right take it away Andrew see you next week. record this is the last episode of face a little message more aimed towards the audience and there's a good chance I'll cry. So I didn't want to record this in a group setting. I'm not that emotionally vulnerable. I try to be open and all that but that is a little too much for me today. So I wrote some stuff down.

I hope that me reading it and that I'm not just speaking from the top of my head doesn't minimize how genuine these words are and how much it means to me. As you may have heard, the company is closing. Shocking, I know, but it's true. And when I reflect on the past four years, it's impossible to succinctly describe what they've meant to me. One of the most rewarding parts of what we do,

in my eyes at least, is getting to be part of this incredible community that we are so lucky to have formed around us. I keep my DMs open and the amount of messages I've received over the years filled with kindness and support has been overwhelming in the best way. I try my best to reply to all of them, but if you're listening and I missed you, know I'm genuinely sorry. The reason I bring this up is the most common

thread in those messages is a thanks for making this and how it has helped endure a time of darkness. What's important to me in this moment is that you know how aligned my feelings are, but towards you. To everyone who is listening right now, I say with all of the weight in the world, thank you for allowing this ridiculous show to exist. It has changed my life forever, and I will feel indebted to you for the rest of my life. Like most people, these past few years have been hard, and at times I felt as though I was drowning but Knowing that no matter what was happening. I was gonna get to spend time every week Trying to make my friends laugh was a constant light. I don't know how I navigated these years

I'm sorry. I fucked that up cuz I'm my throat is sore my eyes are watery. I'm trying to read I'm a mess, but I don't know how I would have navigated these years without the show. The space we have created is impossible without you. So as much as it is ours, it is yours. Although the company is in fact dying, that space will continue on. And I'm so excited to continue to build it all with you. Thank you so much for all the years of support. I'm so excited to continue to build it all with you. Thank you so much for all the years of support. I'm so excited for us to start our next thing, which is going to be immediately following this. Like it's going to be no time has passed at all.

It'll be on a different feed. But yeah, we we appreciate your support so much. It has been a truly amazing four years and hopefully many more to come. Thank you and have a wonderful rest of your day. Hey guys, Major League Fan Jack here with a look at next week's episode of F***face. And once again, Andrew never ate the pencil. All that and more was on this series called F***face. You you
