Dragon's Dogma 2, the highly anticipated successor to the cult classic Dragon's Dogma,
is out now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S and X, and Steam.
Dragon's Dogma 2 is a third-person action RPG boasting a richly detailed and deeply
explorable fantasy world created using Capcom's RE Engine's immersive physics,
groundbreaking character AI systems, and cutting-edge graphics.
Dive into the vast and dynamic world where The Arisen is called upon to fulfill a forgotten
destiny across the nations of Vermont, the Kingdom of Humanity, and Batal, the nation
of Beastrin.
Dragon's Dogma 2 revolves entirely around choice.
Your choice, that is.
From the sword and shield-wielding fighter to fighter to the illusion conjuring trickster, there are over 10 unique vocations to choose from that all require experience to unlock new skills.
And character customization is out of this world, literally. Oh, and did I mention the combat is
really in-depth? It isn't just hacking at a giant's ankle for half an hour while your dodge
roll attacks. You can engage enemies from a distance, climb up large foes, stab them in This is a Rooster Teeth production.
Nothing a little old reboot wouldn't do. Okay, this is me.
1, 2, 3. 1, 2, 3. Alright, that's done.
What are you syncing? Yeah, what did you sync to?
What did you just sync?
I've been doing too much Achievement Hunter today.
I did some Achievement Hunter today.
It's an old Achievement Hunter joke.
All right, so here's the thing, boys.
We had a false start earlier.
It's okay.
It wasn't any good anyway.
I was being very critical of it in my head as it was happening.
Did you save the audio?
It was a bad minute.
No, no, I didn't save it.
I decided I didn't.
What is a bad minute?
I don't think you can determine a minute is bad. It wasn't crazy entertaining.
Hey, Andrew, give us a good minute and go.
Well, there's no way I can do a good minute with that amount of pressure. You give us
a good minute.
Not with that attitude. You've wasted five seconds. Let's get a good 50 seconds. Let's
go.
What do you want? What do you want? What is a good minute? I could talk about... What
do you want me to talk about?
I'm asking you for it. Why am I asking you if I'm going to
provide you how to make the minute good?
You've lost 20 seconds. Let's get a good 40 seconds
and go. There's no hope of
me recovering from a lost
20 seconds. It's only
down from here. Down to a good
30 seconds. Take it away,
Andrew. No, I'm just not going to speak.
This is a protest.
Well, yeah.
Jeff, is this a better minute than the minute we lost?
Or what has been?
I feel like the other minute was better.
Here's how I f*** faced myself.
I referenced how bad the previous minute was.
All but ensuring that you guys created what might be the worst minute
in the history of face what i should have should have seen that coming but you're still in that
minute you're a part of it now there's no way we're still within too little too late there's
no way we're still in that minute really i hope to god we're not i would like to put that i would
like to put as much distance between that minute and us as humanly possible.
I think technically every second is adding distance, so we're good.
It just naturally happens.
Have you ever listened to a thing, though, and thought that was a great minute?
No first minute of a podcast is that great.
We've had some great final minutes, like when you were being attacked by your mic setup.
That was gone.
That was not uploaded. That was was deleted nobody listened to that i don't so it's like you're not you're mentioning something that
never happened essentially that was a bad burp if we're gonna just start judging things that burp
was not great jeff as i it was i i wasn't going for i wasn't trying to break well i wasn't going
for the greatest fucking comedy minute ever, but apparently we're judging that.
But I was asking for it, Andrew.
I didn't say, Jeff, do the best burp right now.
That was just a normal burp.
Yeah, but he's expecting things for the first minute.
You can't just say, have a great first minute.
These things just happen.
You can't plan for them.
You can't just on the spot declare for a fantastic minute.
That's ridiculous.
What are we at, like three minutes now, four?
We're almost at five minutes, but to what extent
that this five minutes is used, who knows?
Alright, well here's what I want to talk about today.
One, I
cheated on you guys and I want to
apologize, but also I'm kind of excited
about what opportunities
lay ahead for us. And
two, I need
to discuss something
that's been bothering me
for a very long time
that I can't...
I've been scared to talk about
because I think,
A, it's going to make me
look incredibly stupid,
and B,
I think you might...
I might be losing...
You might think
I've lost my mind.
Are you selling your car already?
No, no, no, no, no.
Nothing like that.
Car's doing great.
Car's better than ever.
I drove it to get chili quiles for breakfast today,
and it worked like a charm.
Got me there, got me back.
Easy lickety split.
A plus plus.
Yeah, no, the first thing, the easy thing,
well, first off, those are the two things I want to talk about.
Cheated on you guys, feel real bad about it,
but it also kind of made me excited,
and then I think I'm losing my mind, and I need, I don't know why i need to talk to you two idiots about it but
i've decided to uh and uh what do you what do you guys got anything i have yeah if we want to so
cyberpunk just came out i don't know if you've played it gavin i assume you haven't jeff i played
it i'm about four hours in yeah Really? Okay, that's great.
How do you know I've played it?
Because you're more of a video game guy to me than Jeff is.
So I would have assumed that you would have played it because it's a massive game.
You assumed correct.
Yes, I have.
Okay.
Well, I played it and I typically had an interesting experience.
So typically I don't give a shit about character creators,
but there's so much excitement around this game.
And it seems like it's going to be such a massive game.
I thought I'm going to really invest in this character.
I'm going to try to make it as accurate of representation of myself as I can.
I'm going to really put the time in, adjust the things.
Not a lot of options.
I was kind of disappointed.
You can do like a million different things, but you have like six choices per thing.
I feel like there's not a lot of body options that you can't set back length no back length was not that was all yeah
that was obviously disappointing but anyway i go through this whole process and i make a character
i'm happy with it's like the first time i've ever done this with a game where i'm like i invested
time this is me in this universe i load up game. The very first fucking thing you do is put your nose back in the place because you broke it.
Took me out immediately.
I am not that character.
My nose would never break.
It ruined the immersion instantly.
It was such an unexpected thing to ruin it.
But it's literally the first option you have when you load that game.
Set your nose.
You must have picked a different path.
Oh, really?
I didn't do that.
What path did you pick?
You didn't fix your broken nose?
No, I'm a corpo.
I'm a corporo dude.
What do you do?
Andrew, you picked street kid?
Yeah, I picked street kid.
I picked street kid.
I feel like most people picked nomad or street kid,
but I was just feeling a bit businessy,
so I just went that path.
That's interesting.
I didn't even consider that those choices would align differently.
So my nose is untouched so far.
So I picked the only option in which it would have ruined the immersion for me.
Life does not imitate art there.
Did you pick a penis length or did you give yourself a vag?
I went penis.
I just went basic.
I didn't put a lot of thought into that process.
You put middle-sized penis?
I think so, yeah.
I think I went penis one and then just normal.
You think so?
How is penis not like a big decision that you made?
I just didn't think it would go into the gameplay that much.
You can pick whether your penis is circumcised or uncircumcised
and I think you can pick from three sizes is circumcised or uncircumcised and i think you
can pick from three sizes yeah not a lot of options well it's less for the vagina the options
for vagina is vagina i didn't see any of that shit i just hit random and went for i had no clue
when you were talking about the penis thing earlier today also uh fyi andrew sounds like
a robot to me gavin sounds fine so i'm having trouble picking
up like what andrew's saying jeff sounds a little robotic to me yeah you said you've sounded like
you sounded a bit dog shit this entire recording you should reboot maybe maybe do another reboot i
don't hear anything and then we could redo the minute jeff hello you can finally get your minute
uh hey it's eric if you do reboot are you gonna save the audio or
i don't know that's a great question is he gone jeff just reboot
just immediately rebooted why does this happen with him i don't know it's a bold move to just
immediately reboot or he's just not talking either no i think i think that his i think
his computer got all uh messed up oh you think this isn't on purpose you think he's just not talking either no i think i think that his i think his computer got all
uh messed up oh you think this isn't on purpose you think he's crashed do you think it's okay
so how do we make sure how do we see if it's an on purpose uh i guess we ask him when he comes back
i did hear him say a little bit ago uh you guys are breaking up he said that right in the middle
of you talking andrew but i feel like we just ignored him.
No, I didn't hear that at all.
I heard him after say like,
Andrew kind of sounds like a robot to me.
Oh, wait, no.
Hey, what's up?
God damn it.
Yeah, I don't know what's going on.
I just got...
He's here.
He said he just got.
Can you hear me now?
I don't hear Jeff at all.
So, Eric, when are we rescheduling the...
Gavin's fine.
Gavin's fine.
You want to just call Andrew on the phone?
Yeah.
Wait.
What do you mean?
Call me.
Well, he's having an issue with you, Andrew.
Oh, I can't hear Jeff.
Andrew can't hear me?
Why wouldn't Andrew and I be able to hear each other?
Just talking over each other?
They're just talking over each other now.
I have no idea what Jeff's saying.
This is like lunacy.
This is how God pull happened.
No, okay.
I'm going to, whenever Jeff's thing,
we need to set up an honor system.
When Jeff lights up, I'll stop talking.
That doesn't, but it's a podcast. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
It'll be fine.
It'll be fine.
Gavin will have,
it's like a choose your own adventure happening simultaneously.
And Gavin is the main character.
What, like I gotta pick who I want to listen to?
No, we'll just go back and forth and people can decide what path they like.
By the way, Andrew sounds fine now.
Andrew, can you hear Jeff?
Oh, absolutely not.
I can hear Andrew sounds, Andrew sounds totally fine to me. Could you see him lighting up, Andrew? Oh, I not. I can hear Andrew sounds totally fine to me.
Can you see him lighting up, Andrew? Oh, I
can see him lighting up, absolutely. That's
how I know. It's like a red light, green light scenario.
Whenever I see that light go up, I go quiet.
So, if you want to make Jeff
laugh, that's going to be difficult.
I feel like that's a big part of this podcast.
Oh, he's laughing. Did you hear that,
Andrew? No, I didn't.
Okay, I'll recite what Jeff said. That's what he's laughing did you hear that Andrew no I didn't okay I'll recite
what Jeff said
that's what he's saying now
oh that's great
why can't Andrew just
get off the call real quick quit Skype
open it back up come back in but just don't stop
what do you mean quit Skype
I'm on Skype
Discord
why don't we try on Skype
shut up
I maintain that somehow Andrew's the problem I'm sorry. Discord. Discord. Why don't we try on Skype? Shut up.
I maintain that somehow Andrew's the problem.
I'm telling you it's not my fault.
Wait, so wait.
You can hear Jeff.
What do you mean?
You just replied to him.
This is bullshit. No, wait, what do you mean?
You just replied to him.
What do you mean?
You did.
No, I didn't hear.
I just left and came back.
I didn't hear anything.
I just was declaring it was not my fault. No, I'm not. This isn't a bit. I couldn't hear. I just left and came back. I didn't hear anything. I just was declaring it was not my fault.
No, I'm not. This isn't a bit. I couldn't
hear you. You were doing a bit.
You were doing a fucking bit. No, I wasn't doing a bit.
Andrew. This is no bit.
But you can hear him now. Yeah, I
can hear him now. You sound great, Jeff. Okay.
How's it going, buddy? I missed you.
I missed you too. So, uh, you
picked the street guy
and your nose got broken after you've broke it.
Or your nose got fixed. And then Gavin's a corpo.
What's it like being a corpo? That seemed like the lamest one.
It felt like the lamest one.
Starting at the top and going downhill from there.
But I just wanted to see all the shiny.
And that seemed like the shiniest option to me.
Wait, what do you mean, see all the shiny? me like it's shiny windows like rich people metallic floors and
stuff it seemed all shiny like well now i've lost but it's an open world game clearly you'd get
there eventually isn't the whole world shiny like you don't get your own area i don't know
just something about starting in the dust didn't feel like doing it i like the idea that they they
propose like they say hey if you pick this choice
this is your life if you pick this choice this is your life and your determination was just what's
the shiniest you gave no fucks about any of the other options or i wanted to see the ray tracing
and the puddles and stuff that's fair if you put it in that context i get it i'm gonna fix this i'll be right back we've got like two minutes what happened
what no i think this is all good what is jeff doing i told you this is my fault i told you
it wasn't my fault and that it is his and i wasn't doing a bit maybe while jeff's gone we can have a
few updates on last week's recording or the week before i mean i guess they're the same day for us uh andrew has your
salad cream arrived no it's it's kind of it's following the uh the thank us later model it's
uh not expected to arrive until december 26th to like january something oh wow it's gonna be a
while i hate a treat it might i don't know if i want to call it a treat i learned i accidentally
ordered two i ordered an allotment of two and I'm disgusted to even have one.
I regret it.
Why?
What do you think it's going to be?
I don't like anything about it.
I know it's not the most outrageous thing, but the idea of using a Heinz bottle to put
anything on a salad seems absurd.
Just seems like it would be a bad idea.
I don't want to use a Heinz bottle on anything green.
That makes no sense because so much stuff of Heinz you put on green stuff.
Like what?
Name something.
Exactly.
Fucking exactly.
Do Heinz make a mayonnaise?
Yeah, they do, I guess, but not in like a bottle, I don't think.
You wouldn't want a squeeze bottle for mayonnaise, would you?
I feel like mayonnaise is a knife condom. No, I've want a squeeze bottle for mayonnaise would you i feel like mayonnaise is a knife condom no i've got a squeeze bottle for mayo really it's an upside down one too
hello interesting i'm not a mayo guy as i said i'm a sneaky mayo eater i'll never put it on anything
i kind of don't like the idea of eating it but if it's on an item i order i won't take it off
and i'll probably enjoy wow Heinz make dressings too.
As a spray.
What do you mean a spray?
What the fuck? They got spray
bottles. I'm looking at Heinz
Balsamic with a hint of garlic.
Heinz Raspberry Balsamic.
Chili and Lime and
Zesty Lemon Salad Dressing
Spray. Oh, it really is salad
dressing spray, yeah. Hello? That's amazing.
And that's going all over your green stuff, Andrew.
Yeah, that's true. I guess, you know,
I was considering, oh, that's not
what I imagined that.
I guess, I mean, the bottle technology
exists. Why wouldn't Heinz use it?
I think more food should be sprayed on.
Like, what do you mean?
Alright, this is gonna work.
What do you mean this is gonna work? what do you mean this is gonna work what
did you do i just rebooted my internet okay you're not on wi-fi well here's the problem i am
unfortunately because i'm in my bedroom and i can't run a cat5 cable that far your bedroom has
all the shelves in it or no the library has the shelves it's listen library's still getting work
done i had somebody here today who Who's that mean? I don't
want to get into a whole thing, but because
people gave me the order wrong to get
shit done because people,
everybody's well-meaning, but motherfucker,
I just, I got the
wallpaper in, I got the wallpaper
in two weeks ago, or last week, however
long ago it was. I don't remember. Do you remember when
I got the wallpaper in? It was a fucking eternity
ago, I'll tell you that. And today,
the guy comes in to look at the support
for the desk, because the desk needs a support.
It needs a metal beam on it, otherwise the fucking
desk isn't going to be strong enough, and my fucking
monitors are all going to crash into each other like Jeremy's
ass kick. And he
goes, oh, it's too bad about the wallpaper.
We're going to have to rip all that up.
I didn't even think I was going to have to talk about this today
because I agreed after this morning
that I wasn't going to think about it for a while
because I was frustrated.
And then you guys drug it out of me
because I realized I'm on fucking Wi-Fi in the bedroom.
But it shouldn't be a problem, guys,
because I've been on Wi-Fi in the bedroom
for like the last five fucking episodes
because this library's never going to get finished.
Here's the thing as well
that you could just spend about eight bucks on just a long cat5 cable that's just use it for a
bit and then bung it in a cupboard when you're done the best thing i can do is if i get a 50
foot cat5 cable i could run it out the library window and then into the sliding glass door in
my bedroom i think but it hasn't been i, I think. But it hasn't been, I considered that just now.
However, it hasn't been a fucking issue
for the last five episodes.
So why would it be one today?
It's a sunny day outside.
There's no bad weather.
Internet should be great.
I love it.
So in order to prop up your desk,
I assume it would just be like a leg
under the desk or something.
They're ripping down all the wallpaper.
I don't want a leg to like bang my knee
into and be like in the
middle and so they're going to build like a
metal L beam that's going
to go into the stud and come out
which is the elegant solution
and the right way to do it to build it properly.
However, that's going to require them to rip
out the sheetrock
that I just had, that
they just had me get re-sheetrocked.
So who's in charge of the order?
Is there like a project manager who should be arranging that or is that you?
That's the problem.
It's, listen, a lot of lessons learned on this library.
It's going to be fucking beautiful.
It's going to be wonderful.
It's going to be amazing.
Tomorrow, I'm going to have drawer pulls on all of my drawers, and I'm going to be able to start using them. I'm going to have a
light installed where I need a light installed. That's going to be great, too. I'm going to have
30% less wallpaper than I have today, but I'll deal with that problem tomorrow.
Well, you missed us talking about Heinz salad dressing spray but I don't think you really missed out
on too much there. No, it was kind of
interesting. It was mildly interesting.
That's a whole thing, that salad dressing
shit. Have you experienced
that? Have you used that? Nah, dude.
It looks gross as all hell. What do you mean then
it's a whole thing? What is that based
off of? We've been getting a ton of
fucking tweets about
salad dressing sprays and creams and whatever. You already knew about the sprays before I just be getting a, we've been getting a ton of fucking tweets about, and about salad dressing
sprays and creams
and whatever.
You already knew about
the sprays before
I just looked it up?
The salad dressing spray?
I thought we were talking
about the thing
from the other day.
No.
Salad cream.
Look in the discord.
Oh, hold on.
It's like a balsamic
with garlic.
I guess they're,
well, no,
half of them are balsamics.
Why do you need that?
Andrew said he didn't
want to put Heinz on anything green.
So I found some good examples of stuff that goes on green.
Dude, I bet that raspberry balsamic is good.
All right, Gavin, you can only have one of those four salad dressing sprays
for the rest of your life.
You're using it on every salad you have.
Which one do you pick?
I think I'll just pick classic balsamic with a hint of garlic.
Yeah, how about you, Andrew?
Which one are you going? You're a're a spicy dude you're gonna do chili
and lime no no no i don't trust heinz with fruit in the slightest they're not a fruit company to
me i'd veer away from anything that they're claiming has fruit in it so i'd have to go with
the garden stuff has fruit in it typically this this all three three of the four of those have
a fruit in them i don don't trust the fruit.
Isn't tomato technically a fruit?
Yeah, I guess technically you're right, but that's a whole nobody considers.
That's like a weird thing.
Like the main Heinz condiment.
Yeah, but the tomato fruit thing is very like, I know a lot about tomatoes.
I mean, it's technically a fruit, not a vegetable like you'd assume it would be.
So you're okay with their veg?
Yeah, I'm totally fine with the vegetables.
So you'd eat their beans?
Yeah, the Heinz baked beans, pretty good.
You're into their legumes.
Yeah, no problem with that.
I just don't, where's Heinz getting their lemons from?
Or a raspberry?
Where the fuck is Heinz getting the raspberries?
But why do you care so much about, like, if you eat some chicken soup,
do you ever think, like,
where did this chicken live?
I went actually beyond that, Gavin.
I had a realization, like, a year ago
of where's the chicken in the chicken noodle soup.
Because the chicken noodle soup I would always get
didn't have chicken in it.
What do you mean?
Okay, so my entire life, so,
I'm not a big soup guy,
but when I get chicken noodle soup, I get it from a company like in a box and there was no chicken chunks in it.
It was just like a package.
Because you have to add the chicken probably.
So it's just chicken stock maybe.
I guess so.
So yeah, anyway, that was my realization.
I thought, well, where's the chicken in the chicken noodle soup?
And the person I said this to was stunned.
I had never heard of putting actual pieces of chicken in the soup. soup, and the person I said this to was stunned. I had never heard of putting actual
pieces of chicken in the soup.
It was something I learned. I've never put chicken
in, but I have had chicken noodle soup
with chicken in it. Hence the chicken.
Yeah, I've never had it. So I
thought, is it a broth thing? I guess it must be a broth
thing, and then I looked it up and saw that I guess
most chicken noodle soup have chicken.
Like, actual pieces.
My dog's screaming,
I gotta go, I'll be back in one second.
I gotta let her out. I'll be right back.
What are you doing today?
Is this for real? Is this a
real episode of this show?
I'll be honest, if Jeff had done the
podcast the same day his shelves
were getting put up, it would have been less intrusive
than this.
A hundred percent.
A hundred percent. I'm doing the metadata right now and i'm just putting in jeff is hardly in this
one kind of i was i was having such a good day and then and now i'm all discombobulated i'm calling
salad cream salad spray i'm all backwards i'm fucking that's all right dude everything fell
apart all at once i listened to the one from two weeks ago.
I totally heard the dog fart.
It was so loud.
I'm not sure if they boosted it, but it was amazing.
I got a lot of comments on the dog fart, actually.
I got Henry right here next to me.
I'm hoping he'll fart again today.
I think most people's highlights of that episode was a dog that didn't say anything.
They tend to not say anything.
What happened to only farts? was thinking about that oh i just
haven't you know i'm still my butthole still kind of uh like a dry fart right now yeah i just i'm
waiting to get inspired as soon as i do uh i actually went through and i just deleted a bunch
of farts out of my phone because i just i was listening to them and they were just i was
struggling you know you get you get like a four and they were just I was struggling. You know,
you get like a four and you're just like wishing it's
a six, but you can't lie to yourself.
So I just, I'd have to shh a bunch of them.
It adds a lot more pressure when you go in for
the record. It does.
It really, it's, there's fart
anxiety that's real. You're trying to catch it.
Yeah, we haven't come up with a fart buffer design
yet. No, that's still
in the works.
Could I get my own, just before we pivot away from sauces?
One thing that was very surprising to me, a lot of people had honey mustard in their
top three, most of the time one or two.
Honey mustard's my number one.
I love it.
I don't feel like a lot of people talk about honey mustard, though.
I feel like it's a sleeper all time sauce.
I just hear honey mustard though. I feel like it's a sleeper, all-time sauce. I just hear honey mustard.
My only interaction with it
is that I hear it
in a list of other sauces
and then I don't pick honey mustard.
Why don't you pick it?
Because there's always
something nicer.
No, I think you've got
to give it another chance.
Honey mustard, I think,
is the top sauce.
I feel like it's like
a sauce subset.
I'm with Gavin on that one.
It's maybe in a certain situation but
if i'm if i'm feeling mustard i'd probably just rather have plain old yellow mustard
than as then than a like a mustard with flourish well if you're putting it on a dog i don't think
you want honey mustard but for a lot of other items fries chicken strips chicken a lot of the
chicken items honey mustard fantastic i completely disagree can i
can i get my own honey mustard am i is there anything blocking me from doing that if i
pursued it what do you what do you mean like you know how like every actor has a fucking vodka
could i get my own honey mustard if i wanted to is there anything blocking me from that
i don't think so. Maybe FDA approval.
No, I wouldn't.
Like, do you think the actors are making vodka?
They just find the company that is willing to put their brand on it,
and they sponsor it.
I'd love to have my own Honey Musk.
What you need to do is put a snazzy little pitch together and then give it to Ryan Reynolds, get him on board,
and then you're set.
He has 7,000 companies.
I tried that.
Didn't work.
I already went that route. Specifically with Ryan Reynolds?000 companies. I tried that. Didn't work. I already went that route.
Specifically with Ryan Reynolds?
Yeah, specifically with Ryan Reynolds.
Didn't work.
Tried that already, Jeff.
You're two months behind.
What happened?
Nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
I don't remember.
I think I was trying to sell
not the Rooster Teeth store
to Ryan Reynolds
and I had no reply.
Didn't work.
Oh, here you go.
Eric gave you some helpful... No, I looked into that, Eric. I don't want to do that. That seems reply. Didn't work. Oh, here you go. Eric, Eric gave you some,
some helpful.
No, I looked into that, Eric.
I don't want to do that.
That seems like a lot of work.
I just want to put,
I want to have a sauce I like.
I'll try it.
If I don't like it,
I wouldn't sign to it.
But if I liked it,
I want to sign it
and then support it,
endorse it.
That's what I want.
I want minimal effort,
but I want my own honey mustard
because I'd love to have that.
Who wouldn't want a sauce?
No, I think
a lot of people are doing that these days too.
I'm pretty sure Action Bronson sells
olive oil now as an example.
Yeah, another dude. Another celebrity
and his sauce.
I haven't really heard of many sauce
celebrities. Action Bronson is a really natural
fit though. That makes sense.
I support that idea.
You could start a sauce and call it face that's delicious i feel like the mustache photo would work really good on a sauce
too like the old lady for frank's red hot like i feel like it's a good it's just like a good
branding face yeah no i agree i I agree. I totally agree.
Fucking, I'm all about it, dude.
Tell me how to invest. You need to come up
with, you need to start, you need to get
in the lab, like Eminem,
and you need to start mixing some shit together
and figuring out your ratios. Do you know how to make
honey mustard?
Okay, so if we were going to make honey mustard,
I guess the first thing, I think
I'd, well, I would need mustard and mustard, I guess the first thing I think I'd well
I would need mustard and mayo or not Mayo honey, right?
Mayo, wait Mayo is in mustard isn't it you cut you use honey. I think there's Mayo somewhere in the honey mustard I
Don't know but the fact that you got one of the two ingredients wrong is in the name
No, but the fact that you got one of the two ingredients wrong is in the name.
It's not.
It was a misstep.
I'm looking at these Heinz balsamic things and they're making me think of mayo because that's how the conversation started.
It sounds like you're making mayo mustard and that's your sauce.
No, no, no.
I'd get, I think I'd go half and half.
Half a thing of honey, half a thing of mustard.
And then you just stir it.
I don't want to do any of that, though.
Once again, I'm not trying to make honey mustard.
I want an established honey mustard to then brand.
You want something like, so like Achievement Hunter has coffee, right?
King's Coast coffee.
Yeah, exactly.
And that guy Wayne, lovely dude, he flew down from New York with a bunch of different coffees,
and he says, pick out what you like.
And you put two or three together, and you go like, this one, this one,
this one, and he goes like, alright, cool.
And you're like, and I like that. And he goes, no, you don't.
And you're like, oh, I don't? And he's like, no, you don't like
that. And you're like, okay. And then he puts it together and he goes,
doesn't this taste good? And you're like, I helped.
Yeah. That's what you want.
Andrew, you're right.
It seems to be mayonnaise,
honey, mustard,
lemon juice, and cayenne pepper.
So I nailed the top three ingredients and you're laughing at me.
Yeah, you did.
I was laughing because it sounded like you were wrong when in fact, like a lot of the
time, you were absolutely correct.
That happens a lot.
The ice cream thing I was right about.
The ketchup thing is debatable.
My record is way better than it appears.
I wonder.
I know you don't want to do the hard work, but I bet
I bet there's somebody on your little
giant island who has bees
that you could get local honey
from, and that could be your angle.
Oh, I'd
I lost Jeff. I don't know if that's just me.
Did Jeff go again? I think Jeff's
gone again. He's talking about bees.
You guys can't hear me? Can you hear me now?
No, no, no, you're back.
You're talking about bees?
No, I was saying that...
Is that why you're laughing?
Jeff, why did you repeat the whole point?
No, Jeff.
Hello?
You repeated the whole thing.
Get a wire and run it just invent
just run the wire out of the office i'm right out of the window everything is right jeff set up nick
all right yeah nick jeff is on wi-fi because i'm right here his office still isn't done and it's
about to be undone a little bit as well and he went on this whole rant about how like we drug out him having to talk about his office.
Literally, all that was said was, are you on Wi-Fi?
And he exploded.
There was no lead in.
There was no psychological techniques to bring this out of him.
One question.
Are you on Wi-Fi?
And then he fell apart.
I believe Andrew.
Are you a good chef?
Are you good at cooking?
Yeah, I'm actually I think I'm surprisingly good.
I don't think you'd assume.
What's your go-to dish
that you,
if you were trying to impress someone?
I'm a big chicken parmesan,
a chicken parmesan guy.
Absolutely.
Great chicken parmesan.
Yeah.
A lot of grilling.
What about you?
Are you a chef?
No, I don't.
Honestly,
just not having a ton of time.
Usually,
I just cook really quick stuff.
Stuff that takes less than an hour
or like less
than 40 minutes a lot of pasta pasta things and if i can eat it straight out of the pot i cooked it
in bonus no washing oh yeah it's the absolute best yeah i had a sad i have a sad update about
my cooking my cooking life my cooking life has changed gavin is it dreams have died it's waffle base it's not
just waffle based it's everything based it's the waffle it's the the i guess closet dogs i've still
been doing the closet dogs it's oh there i thought i thought you did closet dogs in order to not set
off the fire detector yeah but once i established that the closet worked, it became the home of the dog maker.
So I guess it's closet dogs.
I wanted desk dogs, so it's just the closet dog machine.
Do you have like a little table in there or something?
Or are you just doing this on the floor?
It's the floor.
It's just you got a nice floor set up.
So you get in your closet, you close the doors,
you hunch over the floor toaster, and you make your dogs.
I lift the toaster up.
I don't hunch.
I feel like saying that I hunch to put the dogs in
is a worse image.
Wait, so you're...
I lift the machine.
You're holding the toaster.
I elevate the toaster to put the dogs in,
then I put it down.
Hello?
Then we get the dogs cooking.
Jeff's back once again.
Where did you guys go?
What do you mean?
Where did you go?
I don't know.
I ran to try to...
The 25-foot cable's not long enough, unfortunately.
But I tried.
Man, I don't know what kind of episode
this is. What I was trying to say
is surely there's somebody on your island...
Back to the bees? There's somebody on your island
who has bees and makes honey
and then if you know an old Canadian
mustard recipe, I don't know if you guys are famous
for your mustards, you can probably... I think if you put a old Canadian mustard recipe, I don't know if you guys are famous for your mustards,
you can probably... I think if you put a little bit of work into it,
it would pay off huge dividends.
Here's the problem.
Because I love what you're saying, Jeff.
I've even considered getting into making my own honey.
I've thought about it.
I've looked into what I would need.
You can't sell sauces that you make in your own home.
So the selling is the problem. Why not not make it in somebody else's home well no i i think i think it's a whole thing and then you
need to send the recipe off for approval for like them to do calorie analysis or something what if
it seemed like a lot of busy no it can't be secret then like how am i going to sell you can't produce
it in your home you can't produce it and sell it this was a u.s article it said certain states will allow it within small amounts
but generally no you cannot sell something that you produced in your own home from my understanding
of one search is that because you'd technically be naked in the same room or the same place that
you're making your sauce i don't think that's the consideration consideration, no. What if you live in a mustard factory?
That's a great point. I don't know.
You should ask them, Jeff. I'm not
setting the rules. Alright, I got you.
You want to do little effort.
As little effort
and as much reward as possible.
I looked at maximum effort, though. Just for the record.
I did look into making my own sauce.
There's laws
preventing that from being a thing.
Is syrup technically a sauce?
I think so.
That was the conversation I had yesterday.
Syrup, absolutely a condiment.
I think if you can get it at a fast food place in like a container, you're good.
Or a packet.
That's definitely a condiment.
If somebody can come up to you and ask if they can have it off of your table because
they need it, it's a condiment.
Absolutely. And not all condiments apply
to that, but if it is that,
it's absolutely a condiment. So if you're
unsure, it's an easy rule of thumb.
It's a condiment. What about
peanut butter? Peanut butter is a condiment.
Wait, it's
a main ingredient. No,
you would call peanut butter an ingredient more than
a condiment? It's not called a jelly sandwich if you want to throw some peanut butter on it as a main ingredient. No, you would call peanut butter an ingredient more than a condiment?
It's not called a jelly sandwich if you want to throw some peanut butter on it as a condiment.
It's the number one in the title.
Peanut butter and jelly. Yeah, but I don't start a sandwich with the peanut butter.
It goes on top of the bread.
The bread is the constant.
That's like saying the bread is the constant in a ham sandwich.
Ham's not a condiment.
So the ham is the condiment?
No, I don't think...
That's actually interesting.
It is a weird line of like,
is a spread a condiment?
I think it's situational, right?
Like if you go to a Denny's
and they have...
And yeah, there's breakfast there
and they have those little packets of grape jelly,
that's a condiment.
But if you're going to have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich
where it's one of the two ingredients mentioned and it is the star,
then it's no longer in the realm of condiment.
It is the main attraction.
Can you get a ham spread?
No, I don't think so.
Yeah, it's called spam.
You absolutely can.
Spam.
What about pate?
That would be...
Yeah.
We're back in the ham zone.
When did we turn into a... Oh, yeah, we're back in the ham zone when did we turn into a oh yeah we're
back in the ham zone when did we turn into a food podcast uh when your internet broke and you're
running back and forth and you're not here for 80 of the episode somewhere in that in that space
so glad that happened just by the way out of the out of the blue i mean i recorded with for an over
an hour with achievement hunterment Hunter this morning.
No problems whatsoever.
Totally fine.
You can't say out of the blue when you have technical difficulties every recording day of your life. I didn't have technical difficulties last week when we recorded.
Did you not?
No.
Is that an exception?
You did.
No, I didn't.
I didn't have technical difficulties.
I had to do a thing which then put me back because Nick wanted me to record a test.
I had no technical difficulties.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
I do think jelly and peanut butter would be a spread.
Yeah.
Which would then make it a condiment.
I think they're both technically condiments.

Have you planned your marathon yet?
I have. I have planned it.
I have planned it.
I'm going to need some more time.
I'm going to need some more time for the ankle.
A little ambitious. What percent on the
ankle are we at? You were at 90% last week.
What are you at now?
I felt I was at 90%,
and then I went on my first kind of distance walk,
and it wasn't far,
and I was limping on the way back.
Wasn't great.
I'm going to need more time.
A few more weeks.
I'm telling you, you're going to need months.
No, no, no.
You need to have surgery or something.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
It's going to be fine.
What I was talking about, we kind of went off course because Jeff came back, left.
Jeff, my waffle days are done.
Why?
My morning waffle, my desk dogs.
It has come to a sad end.
It was, I didn't see this coming.
I mean, I guess I should have considered it.
The electrical cost of making waffles and dogs every day is a lot.
Really?
Yeah, I got the first electric bill since this operation.
It put me in a different tier.
I'm not that much over.
Yeah, I think I'm borderline because I have a million things plugged in,
but it was more expensive than before.
I have to retire.
I need to use less power.
It's surely you're heating because it's winter.
It's getting colder.
No, no, no, no.
I'm not a heating guy.
I'm not a heating guy.
I don't use heat.
Oh, right.
You like to have your feet get cold with the open window.
Yeah, I'm a cold guy.
I don't need the heat.
It's not a heating thing.
It's the only thing I can think of.
I've been cooking waffles and hot dogs like it's a fucking...
That can't be it.
That's such a short amount of time every day.
They're constantly plugged in, though.
Waffle maker not, the dog.
I agree with Gavin.
I don't know.
I wouldn't throw in the towel yet if I were you.
A, I think Gavin's right.
I think that you're overstating the electrical draw.
But if you're truly committed to the convenience of waffles and hot dogs uh on your toilet and in your bed why don't you just start unplugging
shit you're not using yeah make the savings somewhere else yeah like just kill that phantom
power and uh prioritize your power where where it matters i don't know what to cut that's the
problem unplug your xbox when it's not in use use. Definitely unplug the waffle maker when you're not using it.
Well, if I turn off the Xbox, it surely works, right?
I mean, more than, yeah.
I think it probably still draws a little power, but not.
It's just, I got other devices coming in too.
I just, I think I need to put it behind me.
I tell you what, you could probably,
instead of having your fridge with a microphone in it so the fridge door
is leaking open the whole time yeah maybe you could not do that and then get back to waffles
i fixed that okay i fixed that that's not that's not a problem anymore you busted out the window
the the glass window in the fridge no no no i didn't bust it open no i just i attached it to a
an end table so are you guys liking cyberpunk are you enjoying playing it? So far, yeah. Yeah. I mean, I'm not really that
far into having an opinion. I'm not that
far into it. It is open world, right? I assume
so. I just keep going from mission to mission, so
I don't ever explore. But one gets
the impression, and I don't have a map,
so one gets the impression it's a big game
but I can't really tell. I'm 90 minutes
in. I feel like I've maybe played 15 minutes
of actual gameplay. I think I'm
like 10% on the character thing.
Okay. So how did you cheat on
us? I'll tell you how I cheated.
And I want you to know I feel real bad about it.
I've been making podcasts
for a very long time. Probably
12, 15 years now, however long we've been doing them at the company.
The Rooster Teeth podcast
I always viewed that as Gus's podcast.
Off Topic, I always viewed that as Michael's.
I love to sit in on other podcasts here and there, but I've never had a podcast that I would consider to be partially mine.
This one.
This one, yeah. All three of us. So I've never had ownership over a podcast before. Not really.
And so not only do I feel like I cheated on you guys, I feel like I cheated on myself.
And I feel really weird about that.
And I feel really weird about that. But Gus and I, who's another asshole that we work with, we'd been talking about making some sort of a podcast together that's we recorded in person next to each other.
Well, a safe six feet apart.
We recorded a podcast together.
And it just having never owned a podcast before, I never felt the pang of two timing my own podcast.
And I felt a little dirty, I have to admit.
And so I'm sorry that I did a test podcast with someone that wasn't either of you.
I don't want you to think I'm stepping out on you.
But the thing that excited me
is that it was so much fun to record in person
and we've never done that.
Like every episode of this podcast
has been purely online
and no two of us even have been in the same room
at the same time and recording.
I mean, I haven't seen Andrew in real life for like four years.
It's been a minute.
Yeah.
Not since he wouldn't get up for me to leave the party.
Was that the last time?
Yeah, probably.
Might have been.
Yeah.
I can't think of a time.
That's a pretty long time ago.
But, you know, in a post-vaccine world, we'll be able to ideally at some point be in the
same room and make this podcast together, at least on a rare occasion. And it, we'll be able to ideally at some point be in the same room
and make this podcast together,
at least on a rare occasion.
And it's going to be really fun.
It's totally different doing it in person.
Really?
In what way would you say
the dynamic would change?
I could look in your eyes.
That is true.
You can see reactions.
You know, you can see
how dumbfounded Gavin looks.
The moment things are good,
say we're all vaccinated,
we're all good.
The second that happens,
we should fly Andrew straight in
the moment he's able to.
I think so.
It would,
because I thought like,
well, how would it be different?
But the amount of times
I'm throwing my hands in the air
while one of you two are saying something,
it's constant.
It's like an absurd statement.
Yeah.
I honestly,
I picture you sat in your chair
completely motionless
because i always think that you're worried that some sort of fire extinguisher will fall over on
you fire extinguishers away i don't think i ever talked about the fire extinguisher is so sticky
now i never want to touch it again i'm so glad we have a new setup it got drenched in soda it was a
whole thing it was a disaster how did it get drenched
i got myself a treat have you guys ever had canada dry cranberry ginger ale yes no it's fantastic
it's good it's one of my favorites it's a really good ginger canada dry fantastic ginger ale but i
got it as a treat i got a plastic bottle i'm like i'm gonna enjoy this I opened it I had one sip I put on my desk I dropped something
and like all the cables flew off my desk and the Canada dry went flying like the fucking greatest
wide receiver of all time I caught it one-handed midair while it was moving and I was so proud of
myself I'm like I saved the fucking soda this is amazing I didn't have the lid fully tightened so
then it just fizzed
from the impact and the movement and then hitting my hand it like shook the soda it fizzed up and
for two seconds i just stood there as it was like uh i don't even like a fountain like it was just
shooting soda everywhere in a circular pattern um what are those things called on the on your
ceiling fan no light that's water they shoot water for fires gavin you've made a video on What are those things called on your ceiling? Fan. No, light.
Water.
They shoot water for fires.
Gavin, you've made a video on that. Sprinkler.
Fire extinguisher?
Sprinkler.
That's the word I was looking for.
Are they called sprinklers if they're in the sky?
Yeah.
What do you mean if they're in the sky?
If they're on the roof, I feel like they have a different name.
I feel like there's a fancier fire name.
Oh, like a sprunkler?
No, exactly.
A sprunkler. I think it's a fancier fire name. Oh, like a Sprunkler? No, exactly. A Sprunkler.
I think it's a Sprinkler.
Anyway, like a Sprinkler shot in all directions,
and I just had to stand there and look at it as it happened.
There's nothing I could do.
I think there was probably a few things you could have done.
No, in the moment, Jeff, this was like a bam, bam.
It was a second and a half.
There's no time to react.
You just had to stare.
I guess technically I could have twisted the cap, but this is very quick, bam. Like it was a second and a half. There's no time to react. You just had to stare. I guess technically I could have twisted the cap,
but it was, this is very quick, Jeff.
You would not be prepared for this.
Which way up were you storing this Canada Dry?
It was up.
It was a plastic bottle.
It was not, that's a Heinz joke.
I get it.
I went with the label.
It went up.
It went all over the fire extinguisher
and then you didn't wipe it?
No, no, it got everywhere.
Can I just say as an aside,
that was a pretty funny minute. Good job. Thanks.
That was good actually, yeah. Yeah, it was a good minute.
It went everywhere, Gavin, so I'm not going to clean the fire
extinguisher. It hit the fridge. It coated the
side of my body. It went all over the
floor. The entire thing fizzed
out of the bottle. I got one sip out of it.
That's it. And now my fire extinguisher
is kind of purpley pinkish
and it's very sticky. I never want to touch it to touch it sounds like because I feel like you would have mentioned it
Otherwise it sounds like all of that happened without you rolling your ankle. No. Yeah, I was in a chair
I'm safe. Um my ankle is only at risk when laying in bed or making any other form of movement in a chair. I'm secure
What are we talking about though? How do we get here? Well?
We're a little bit talking about you coming here,
but I was worried that you'll get hurt.
Yeah.
Oh, I definitely will.
I have gotten sick or hurt every trip but once to Austin.
Every trip.
Terrible colds, fevers, you name it, I've got it.
If I don't hurt my ankle, I'm definitely going to get sick,
and I'll probably get you too sick.
Not in a serious way.
At worst, fever. You also have tremendous difficulty just getting here and back in general don't you like didn't you once have a a travel journey that door-to-door was like over a day yeah don't you
have to take like a bus to a train to a cart yeah it's every swim a channel to yeah it's like winning
running man just to get to the airport for me i have to get on a boat i have to travel it's a whole fucking experience it's not great it's a full day i
spend a night at the airport whenever i i traveled awesome but i think you're just doing it wrong you
must be able to fly from your nearest airport yeah i don't but that seems like work i take the boat
the boat is fun i cross the. I get on a bus.
I then get on a train.
And then I'm at the airport.
But with the flights, there's not a lot of Austin flights.
So unless I want to show up at Austin at fucking 10 p.m. or midnight.
That's fine.
No, because you waste a whole day that way.
I'd rather come earlier in the day.
So then I spend a night in the airport, catch a early flight and then i get to austin like midday guys should i tell like the worst austin travel experience i
ever had like the craziest one you both know this yeah please i'm traveling and you always have to
connect so i'm going from vancouver typically i connect in arizona sometimes denver mainly arizona
so we connect and when you're on a, there is no maybe not even plane specific.
Generally speaking, there is no greater joy than not having the seat next to you take
and you're going on a flight. It's fantastic. It's such a great feeling just to have that extra space.
The seats are so it's just uncomfortable. Flying is so uncomfortable. Having that space is great.
So I'm on the plane to Arizona and nobody's sitting next to me.
And I'm so excited.
And I'm doing the thing where I'm looking at every single person boarding the flight.
And just as they walk by me, I get more and more excited.
And I see this one guy.
I'm a big guy.
And this guy was a big guy.
He was very John Goodman-esque in appearance.
He's wearing this white shirt that's just covered in dirt, just dirt all over it.
Like he had just killed somebody
buried the body and is now fleeing to go to a different state that's the kind of dirt it was
yeah that's what it looked like like a breaking bad scenario dirt it just it's there seemed like
there was a crime attached to that dirt and plus the size i just thought please don't sit next to
me anyone else but you and he sits next to me.
He's a really nice guy. He says he's a roof. I mean, you don't know anything to be true when
you're talking to someone on a plane. There's no proof. But he claimed that he worked in like the
roofing industry. Seemed like a really sweet guy. We're flying. We're doing basic plane small talk.
And like in the middle of the flight, he's like, oh, I wonder what that movie is. And I used to do
this movie league where like I'd get my friends together.
We'd have a fake auction over the summer and whoever had the most money would win for the
movies they pick.
So I could call out essentially any movie at that time.
And I'm like, oh, it's that movie.
And he was blown away by this.
And I said, well, yeah, I used to do this movie league thing.
And he's like, well, was there money involved?
And I said, no.
And he's like, oh, so then you're just a massive dork.
It's like, OK, he's like, oh, I guess I don't need to kill you for your money. Yeah, exactly. Anyway,
we continue our small talk. We're about to get to Austin. I'm so excited. I have people that
are going to pick me up from the airport. And then we divert. The plane immediately adjusts
and the pilot comes on and says there is a lightning storm that is currently only happening
above the airport.
It just hit the airport.
We're going to Houston.
We have to land the plane in Houston now.
We'll figure out flights later.
I've never experienced this.
I don't know how this process works at all.
I was on a really tight budget.
I didn't understand how they'd create a new flight from Houston to Austin for everybody
technically that was on the plane.
I just didn't know how that would work.
So the guy sitting next to me,
I'll call him Evan.
Evan says, I might just get a car and drive.
No, where do we, it was San Antonio.
We were getting diverted to San Antonio.
He said, I might just get a car and drive to San Antonio.
If you want to come, you can.
I thought that was a ridiculous request,
but then I'm thinking more and more about it.
We land and we get out and I decide
I'm just going to start following Evan because I'm on a budget I don't know how the plane thing works
and then he goes to the bathroom and it's one of those moments where you can decide I can either
walk away and just try to figure this out or if I stay here I'm now committed to Evan for wherever
this goes and I thought about it and I decided to stay Evan booked the car and we walked and he got like the last
vehicle except they kind of said a different
name than what he said on the plane so then I started
getting paranoid that I actually don't know anything about
this person I've never met them before
on this plane now we're best buds
and he's got that crime dirt all over him
he's got the crime dirt and he looks like
John Goodman who is one of
his personality is John Goodman-ish too
which is the scariest
personality to deal with because he can be a psychotic killer while also being extremely
warm.
I've seen that range from John Goodman.
So applying it to this person was terrifying.
On top of the fact, I've never been to San Antonio and I don't have a cell phone.
I have a cell phone, but I don't know how like I'm scared that I'm going to get overage
charges because it's a whole like roaming. You're in Houston trying to get to Austin but you're going to San Antonio
no no no sorry I misspoke earlier with Houston we got diverted to San Antonio to go to Austin so
I'm in San Antonio with Evan this guy I met on the flight and we just had basic small talk and now
we're going on a road trip together and so I i follow him we get a car he lets me go
i don't have to pay for anything but now i'm in a car with this 60 year old guy who works in the
roofing industry named evan i've got nothing in common with him and we're going from san antonio
to austin a trip i've never done before so i'm kind of scared i'm gonna get killed and i have
no phone so like if something happens i've got no way call it. I have no way to know if we're going is the right way.
So it becomes this whole process.
And it's the weirdest thing of like,
we elevate from small talk on the plane to now we're having real talk about
like his family dynamics and how things are tough at home and like what his
son is doing and that they just had a loss in their family and that,
that he is,
his kid is an alcoholic,
and they're going through that process.
It gets really heavy.
I have a really heavy emotional talk with Evan on the way there.
How old are you at this point?
I am...
How old am I?
I'm maybe 20.
I'm like 20 or 21.
So I'm wondering,
do you have the wisdom that he's after here with this conversation?
I think based on everything on
this podcast the answer would be absolutely not but i'm really good at listening i'm good at
listening i was listening i was just hearing it like i was just being very generally supportive
but this is a guy i met on an airplane an hour and a half ago and now we're in a car together
from san antonio to austin maybe like hopefully i don't know actually where we're in a car together from San Antonio to Austin, maybe. Like, hopefully. I don't know actually where we're going.
And that's what, like an hour and a half journey?
Yeah, it's a 90 minute.
Well, yeah, I heard it was 90 minutes, but I have no idea.
I've never gone this route before.
So me and Evan are just talking back and forth.
And then I talk about stuff that's happening in my life.
I think there's kind of a weird freedom and an understanding of we're never going to interact
with each other again.
So there is an ability to say kind of whatever
you want to, and there's no repercussion.
It felt like a very strange
indie coming-of-age movie
with this 20-year-old and this 60-year-old
with nothing in common making this
road trip. I then get scared, though,
because his phone rings,
and he takes the phone off
the thing. He's using it for a map quest,
and then he just stops using it, which made me uncomfortable.
And he's talking for a little bit.
And then he's like, hey, I'm going to put us on speaker.
It was his wife and his wife had the most thick, like comedically thick Southern accent.
And he explained the scenario to her.
And she's just like, you're the nicest guy ever.
I know that wasn't Southern accent.
I'm not going to try.
It'd be atrocious if I did try.
It's just very loud. I really wish you would try it's
no it's gonna be bad this is once again like the minute thing there's too much
pressure I can't do it but it was a comedically thick like if almost son was
doing a shitty impersonation I should have just done it that's how thick it
was and it just turned into now this scenario if I'm talking to Evan and his
wife it's just about life and I'm just trying to go to a convention in Texas
This is not this is a complete detour and it's a 90-minute trip
And it was wonderful definitely a moment where you're like how did I end up at this point in my life?
Yeah, like in first episode of face we talked well
I guess I went with like I had to go with him.
That wasn't a thing I needed to do.
But none of this was like forced by me.
It just kind of all happened.
I just followed the path until the destination.
I'll be honest.
In a million years, I never would have made that decision.
I never would have gone with the guy.
I've done the exact same thing, but on a much longer drive when I was in the army.
Really?
It was brutal.
Yeah, I've been in your position, Andrew. I i'll tell the story sometime i don't feel like telling
it right now but i went from el paso to fort hood with a newly married couple who was fighting
with a newborn baby who had been on a plane for like 24 hours straight and the baby screamed for the i don't know nine hours we were in the car
maybe uh the entire time yeah and they they they asked me to hold it for a while because uh
they were they were fed up with they didn't know what else to try so i had to hold some strange
baby for a while it was you sound sad just i can't tell if this is the defeat of your cable
that put you in a dark place.
Yeah, you were really down to that.
I'm all discombobulated from earlier,
all the fucking tragedy of the first 30 minutes of this podcast.
That was a great 30 minutes.
I've been working up the courage to talk about this thing
that is creeping me out.
And then Andrew forced me to remember a memory
of the time that I went AWOL from the army for like four days.
And it was a whole thing.
And I just hadn't thought about that since like in probably 15 years.
So I'll need to collect my thoughts on that story and I'll tell it next time.
What was creeping you out?
Is that a story for next time?
Yeah.
What was creeping me out?
Oh, is that the same thing?
No, the thing that I want to talk about, just i've been struggling with this thing for a while i don't know if we
want to get into it now or uh if we want to wait for more technical problems or i think that's for
you to decide jeff i don't i don't know how to all right this is something that's been bothering me
for years okay okay i say that and and i and i and i swear to you that this is with a hundred percent
honesty and transparency that i'm telling you these things and i'm being i'm being very vulnerable
to you uh to my two of my closest friends right now and i'd like you to take that into consideration
as you mock me before we laugh no do you no out. I fucking said last episode
that I didn't know what years my teenage years were.
What podcast do you think you're on
that you need to do this whole,
like, we need to be careful if I say something stupid?
Well, no, I just, how about this?
Would you think it would be weird
if you were to wake up every day of your life
for, I don't know, let's say three years, maybe longer,
and next to your desk there was a coin, like, let's say three years, maybe longer. And next to your desk,
there was a coin, like let's say a quarter, just a bog standard quarter or a loonie or whatever the fuck they call it in Canada. And the first thing you did when you got up every day was you picked
up that coin and you flipped it and you called heads or tails. And every day for, let's just say
three years, it was tails. 100% of the time. Never heads. Ever.
And you started to get freaked out by it. So you would put a different quarter down
and you threw the other quarter away. And it was still tails every day. So you got a nickel and you
tried that and it's still tails. So you take it outside and you throw it up in the air and you
let it hit the ground. Still tails. Everything everything that you can do the coring still flips
tails every day of your life that's been happening to me with socks what what okay i was about to
make a harvey dent joke and then you switched it to socks i don't know i don't know how that even
applies i i was so excited about this coin story.
I was riveted.
I'm just trying to make it make sense.
No, no, time out for a second.
Have you not been flipping a coin every day of your life?
Metaphorically, I have.
What the fuck?
What do you mean?
I was imagining you in your backyard throwing a coin.
That's the picture I want you to have.
I want you to understand andrew
my frustration and my concern and my fear i'm trying to make it relatable to you because i
because it's such a weird thing i'm about to explain to you what the fuck okay so let's here
and before you say it you're gonna you're gonna come up with lots of ways that i can test this
and i'm gonna tell you i have an answer for every one of them. Okay. Alright.
What was that?
Every day I get up.
I've been doing the same with socks.
Every- My girlfriend doesn't even know about this.
I've never even mentioned it to her, and I live with it.
I suffer in silence.
I can't imagine how that applies.
You're the only people I've ever spoken to about this.
Every year, guys,
900,000 days in a row, maybe,
of my life. I am at a point in
my life where every pair of socks
I own has an L or an R
on the toe.
You get a pair of nice socks.
Gavin, you remember the whole
sock revolution we had at Achievement
100 years ago, and I bought you guys all nice socks.
Well, if you look at your nice socks, if you have any pairs
of nice socks, socks now, they
have a left sock and a right sock. And they'll tell
you, right by the big toe, there's
an L and right by the other big toe
there's an R. Meaning that the
L sock is obviously for your left foot.
It's probably designed that way to be ergonomic
and hug and comfort
your foot, right? And then the
other sock, same thing, obviously.
Just makes sense.
However, what happens to me is every day when I get up and I go through the same routine
and then I sit down and I pick up, I'm left-handed, right?
I sit down on my sofa or wherever and I go to pick up a sock and I instinctively pick
up to put a sock on my
right foot. I fucking hate this.
I pick up every
single time the left sock.
Why did you do the coin story?
Because it's the same thing.
I've got a 50-50 chance
of getting the left or the right sock.
Why is it only
the left sock every time?
I fold them differently.
I mess them up.
I can't not pick the left sock.
But what's...
Why tell the coin thing?
It's the same story.
You just changed the item.
You told the same story twice.
Like we couldn't comprehend the sock thing without the coin thing.
I wasn't sure you could.
I was trying to come up with an analogy.
You're explaining a 50% probability.
You're getting bogged down in the coin thing
Well because you brought it up
Help me fix my problem
It was a great story
My point is I think I'm living in a simulation
And it's
Every day at this moment
Something sinks or reboots
And I'm getting stuck with the goddamn left sock
On my right foot
And I've done
everything I can think of to do it. I've, I've, I've laid the socks out the night before and
somehow I still end up with the left sock. I've, I, and I always forget, right? Like I'm never like,
I even think like one time I've even, I've even left myself notes on my nightstand. Don't forget
the sock thing. Uh, and what invariably happens is I'll get up and I'll go through the motions.
And the next thing I know, I'm just sitting down with my left sock
and my right foot every time.
I can't see it coming.
I can't predict it.
I can't, I can't, I'm powerless to stop it.
I've even, I've even gone through periods
where I'm like, fuck it.
I'm just going to tell the universe
I like it that way.
I'm going to put my left sock on my right foot,
and I've done it.
I've done it for months.
Just despite the universe?
Just despite, and the universe doesn't care.
It doesn't, there's no trick in it. It's still, and I hate it, and I've done it for months. Just despite the universe? Just despite. And the universe doesn't care. It doesn't.
There's no trick in it.
It's still.
And I hate it.
And I'm lying to myself.
I have a brief side question.
What age did you start sitting down to put your socks on?
Oh, I'm lazy, dude.
Probably like 15.
To me, that's like an old dude thing.
That's fine.
Yeah.
What do you stand up and put your socks on?
Yeah, but I don't have fancy L and R's.
I just...
You probably have more L's and R's on your socks than you would realize.
Oh, maybe.
No, I just stand with one sock in both hands.
I just shove my foot down it and I do the same again.
Once you become aware that there are sides to your socks, it's going to fuck with you.
I even like this morning, I was in the shower and I was taking a shower and I looked down
and I was like, I saw my feet and I went, oh fuck, I haven't, I haven't done my socks
yet.
I'm going to fucking think about it.
And I'm like, no, but I always forget.
Like the universe always fucks with me and it makes me forget.
So I thought like, I'm going to go through and I'm going to visualize everything I'm
about to do until I get to the socks.
Right.
And then I'm going to force myself to pick the right sock.
And so I'm in the shower and I'm like, I'm going to finish showering and then I'm going
to towel off and there's my towel right there.
And then I'm going to get the blow dryer and I'm going to blow dry my hair and my balls and my butt.
I'm going to blow dry my shins and my underarms.
And then fucking there's arrows barking.
I need to, I got to let her out of the crate or she's going to piss the fucking crate.
Which reminds me, I need to clean the, her, her, her, her pad again because her butthole's been smelling bad lately.
And oh my God, I'm already! I've already got the left sock
in my hand
and my right foot out.
How did this happen?
It just fucking,
it just comes out of nowhere
every day
and I don't know
what to do about it
and I can't pick up
the right sock.
Why don't you try
picking the socks up
from the other side?
I've done that.
I've even folded them different.
The point is,
there's a blank space
in my mind
where somewhere between
before I get to the socks
and to the socks and some way
into the moment of realization where I am powerless. I'm like on autopilot and I can't
affect that moment in time until it's too late. It's like the beginning of prey. I think you're
just living the same day over and over again. Then they're just resetting things. It feels like it.
It fucking feels like it. And it's, it manifests itself in my feet every single day of my life.
And I wish to God I didn't even have socks with L's and R's, but I do.
Here's what we'll do.
I'm going to buy you some gloves.
We'll see what happens with those.
All right.
Then I got to put on gloves every day?
Where are the L's and the R's on the socks?
I went to get my socks while you were talking.
I'm looking.
I have two socks right now.
I have no fancy socks.
Do they have to?
Like, why are you?
Here, hold on.
Hold on.
Hold on.
I'm going to send you a picture. Cause see what I did. The greatest sock thing I've
ever done. I gave away all my socks and then I just bought all of the same pair. One of the
best moves I've ever made. Well, they all like white socks. No, they're all like black socks.
It's like, I never, like I always, they always match. I'm never missing a sock. I put no thought
into it. I just grabbed my socks. I've said some absurd things on this podcast
I think Jeff's coin thing is the craziest moment that has ever happened
Why do you say that because it was so unnecessary and I was so much more invested in your coin
Do you know how weird it is to try to?
fucking explain
This weird sock thing. I thought it was a little hard to wrap your head around.
I was trying to cushion the blow.
No, it's not.
It's 50-50.
You have a left sock and a right sock,
and you keep getting the...
Gavin, how do you feel?
Are you as outraged at Andrew
that I told the coin flip thing?
I'm with him in that we absolutely would have understood.
I guess.
Oh, is that a picture of your sock?
Yeah, see, there's the L.
You actually have an L.
Oh, it's there.
I was thinking it'd be on the toe.
It moves around.
It varies from sock to sock.
I was thinking ankle.
It moves around.
It's wherever the company that produced that sock puts it.
Eric said it's on the wrong foot.
That's his left foot, Eric.
It's on the right foot now because I fucking fixed it.
But this morning, I tried to put that sock on my right foot.
And there was nothing I could do about it.
Eric said that looks wrong.
Eric, what the hell does your foot look like?
Do you have a big toe on the outside?
No, I agree with Eric.
The L shouldn't look that way.
Yeah.
The L should be pointed at you in the photo.
In the photo, the L is like a bad T.
There's something about it that just looking at it looks like you...
I understand what you're saying.
It's L and it's left foot.
I get it.
But there's something about the way that it looks that looks like you did it wrong yeah you said
it's on the wrong foot it's not on the wrong foot i'm looking at it in my knee jerk if i didn't see
the l i would go that sock's not on the right foot yeah but socks are upside down when you wear them
what is this the rooster teeth podcast what the fuck did you just say? Like, when you're looking at socks, you hold them
like opening at the top,
but when you wear them, you look at
your toe, and that's... What?
Thanks for... What are you saying?
Thanks for watching.
I'm gonna send one more photo.
Just so you can see. Yeah, go ahead.
Send another one. I still have one brief
thing I really need to talk about.
This is so... We're so over time. What? We're, this is so,
we're so over time.
Yeah,
it's really quick.
Eric,
you know.
I gotta mention this.
You know.
You know what this is.
Yeah,
no,
no,
go for it.
Go for it.
They don't know what it is.
We have an amazing community
that is absurdly creative
and thoughtful
and they've been working,
the people on the Discord,
some of the people on the Discord
have been working on a project for weeks.
Top secret.
I have a very small role in it.
Eric has a really small role in it.
It's really it was their creation.
It's so impressive.
They made a face Christmas album
like a legit Christmas album.
They like change lyrics around.
They got their own music.
They had their own recordings.
I'm loading up my desktop
to post the album art
because it takes fucking forever because I'm on a slow machine and it's not going to be here because
nothing ever works the way i want but they made an entire fucking christmas album it's absurd 12
songs is this the last episode before christmas no no there'd be one yeah it is this would come
out december 23rd i think okay i don't know if eric can back me on that is that right eric yes
nick says yes.
So this would be the Christmas episode.
Here it is.
Here's the album art.
And then I'll post.
Post something.
Obviously can't really listen to it right now, but just we're sharing.
It's amazing what they did.
They made a fucking infomercial for it.
It's fantastic.
It's like a whole fucking Christmas thing.
I just felt like it was worth mentioning.
The F*** Face Discord Orchestra.
Yes.
That looks awesome,
and I'm excited to hear it.
But what I want to know,
there's a better picture on my feet,
by the way.
You can see the L and the R.
Some people will be very excited about that.
See, that's upside down now.
What I want to know
is how do I fix this fucking,
like, am I living in a simulation?
Is this the Matrix? Or B, how the fuck do I fix this fucking like am I living in a simulation in my is this the matrix or B?
How the fuck do I get past this because it's it's it's destroying me mentally throw away all the left and right socks and get some
Universal any foot goes pairs of socks. Yeah, they made 12 fucking socks fucking 12
Well, who cares your sock thing is fine Jeff like who cares if you
Twelve, twelve songs. Yeah, who cares?
Your sock thing is fine, Jeff.
Like, who cares if you got left and the right?
It's bothering me.
Yeah, I mean, I think it would be,
I just think it would be more interesting
if you did flip that coin and it always came up tails.
It would be way more interesting.
I'm doing it.
It's the same thing.
I'm coming up left every time.
Thank you for using the analogy as it was intended, though, Eric.
I can tell that my lesson worked with you.
What do you mean?
I bet you're subconsciously looking and glancing at the letter.
I'm not. I'm desperate not to do it.
And left always comes before right, so you're just grabbing that one.
Oftentimes, I can't even see the L or the R.
I just pick it up randomly, and I go, surely this can't be theānope, it's the fucking left.
Do you think Emily is sabotaging you somehow?
How could she control that?
I don't know.
I don't think she's that detail oriented.
I thought maybe she was like,
like she had like witch powers or something.
Oh yeah.
I think it's more,
I think it's more sciencey than that.
But I think,
I just think that it's a long,
a long con.
I mean,
this has been going on for years and I just don't think that she would stick
through it that long.
We're a couple of dipshits is a Christmas song.
They like,
they,
they parodied it.
They're all related to the show in some way.
We,
we should end this before this becomes the new longest.
It already is,
but it's fine.
You got to cut out the first hour because fucking no,
I think it was really good.
We had updates.
Yeah.
Jeff,
you weren't here for it.
You couldn't hear me.
I was saying it was like a choose your own adventure.
I was not talking when your thing would light up.
It was a whole thing. Oh, I heard some of that. Yeah. Yeah. No, he could hear you. Wait, he can hear me. I was saying it was like a choose your own adventure. I was not talking when your thing would light up. It was a whole thing.
Oh, I heard some of that.
Yeah, yeah.
No, he could hear you.
Wait, he can hear me?
I can hear you fine.
That's interesting.
I thought we couldn't hear each other at all.
I thought it was two ways.
I misunderstood that.
Yeah, because he was responding to you.
Oh, that's less interesting.
I'm going to.
All right.
Well, I'm excited to listen to these Christmas songs and what an amazing community and all
that.
But I'm going to fucking get up tomorrow morning and I'm going to take a shower and I'm going to get ready and I'm going to put my socks on my shoes on and I'm going to, all right, well, I'm excited to listen to these Christmas songs and what an amazing community and all that, but I'm going to fucking get up tomorrow morning and
I'm going to take a shower and I'm going to get ready and I'm going to put my socks on
my shoes on and I'm going to grab my left fucking sock from my right foot.
And I'm going to be, I'm going to feel like you guys are bad friends because you did nothing
to help.
You talked about it.
So now tomorrow you grab the right sock.
It's like you broke the curse.
If that happens, I'll, I'll fucking, I'll do fucking backflips.
Put a GoPro on your head.
I want to see the footage and I want to see how real this is.
Yes.
And don't give any context.
Like just for a week, just please do this.
Don't explain why you're doing it and be as irate as you are.
Yeah.
Every day on Instagram, let's have a video of you putting on socks.
I'll try to remember.
I'll put it on my phone.
What do you mean? Remember tomorrow. I'll put it on my phone. What do you mean?
Remember tomorrow.
I'll put it on my phone.
Start tomorrow.
He'll be sat there with his right sock
in his left hand thinking,
damn it, I forgot again.
Sock thing.
Sock thing.
All right.
All right.
All right.
All right.
All right.
Okay, cool.
So you said Eric is on this Christmas album?
Yes.
He has a small part.
What did you do, Eric?
I think you have to listen to the whole album and find out.
That's a great point.
Did you perform an instrument?
I did not.
What did you do, Andrew?
I did some singing.
I did a very brief amount of singing.
Guys, it's getting dark again.
I have an important question for Eric, because Eric likes to yell and he wants this to end,
but I meant to bring this up earlier.
Do we continue to call it the sewing machine,
or do we now call it the icky shuffle?
Are you fucking kidding me?
Thank you for listening to F*** Face.
We'll see you guys later.
Thanks for listening.
Give us a five-star rating, leave a review,
and listen to the next episode.
Merry Christmas, ho, ho, ho, from everyone here at F*** Face,
and we'll see you next time.
We're not talking about the sewing machine or the icky shuffle.
No.
Goodbye.
And P.S., we're living in a simulation open
your eyes look for the seams they're visible
everywhere pay attention
