This is number 21, our 146th, 47th episode or so, 200 and, my name is Jeff.
Starting point is 00:00:28 And also I got Eric and Gavin and Nick and Andrew. Let's look at Andrew real fast. So straight away, we should point out, this is the second recording. We stopped recording about a minute ago. Well, here's the thing. We stopped recording about a minute ago. Andrew stopped recording about two minutes ago, then started recording again
Starting point is 00:00:47 Two seconds later. So Andrew without anyone explaining it to you. Why do you think we do a sync? We think is he's gonna lay down all of the tracks and then play them Simultaneously and having us all count he'll be able to figure out Like the timing of it to get us Let me ask you this. Let me ask you this Yeah, what is Nick gonna do with a 20 second chunk at the end of your file? That's just a sink. Well It's the same file. There's just a little detour So it's not even a new track. It's on your existing track. It's on my existing track So what does that mean for your sink?
Starting point is 00:01:28 Well at the end we're all counting again At the end all four of us are counting again You're counting before we start counting if you stopped and started your sink happens sooner. Okay, wait a second Let me figure this out. Okay for a second. I think I'm getting along. So if Nick were to sink, we're to see. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Everyone's thinking that Jeff Jeff. Let me let me. I got to get there myself for this point.
Starting point is 00:01:54 So you do the back sink to see if we have gotten out of sink, I'm assuming by the end. OK, in case it's like someone's drifting. We got it. OK, well, then, yeah. Then drifting. We got it. Okay. Well then, yeah. Then what I did would be completely useless. I just panicked. We don't typically. Technically, it could be more than useless.
Starting point is 00:02:14 It could be super counterproductive. It would be absolutely detrimental to the recording, but I did not expect Andrew going, Ah, yes, that was an immediate fault. But it is worse than not doing a sync. I just want to point that out. Well, now I know that. I didn't know that before. We just recently got into syncing on audio in that way.
Starting point is 00:02:32 We have gone 200 something episodes. No, no, no, no, no. Hang on. He's right. Right. We started syncing for the podcast. I'm asking about a sync in general, which we've been doing for a very long time for our video game videos. Yeah, but not not the podcast. Do you think that's different?
Starting point is 00:02:48 No, it's just like in my head it is different. Like we're doing a podcast or not doing a let's play. I've worked in my head and let's play there will be a front sync and an end sync and this is what the ritual is as opposed to a podcast. My ritual is different. Right. I'm not I'm not faulting you for stopping at the end. That's not what I'm saying. You just called it a ritual to do a front sink and a back sink in the gameplay. You understand what I'm saying is you understand there's a reason. Yes, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:03:18 Like it's the same. It's the exact same purpose. I'm just saying that, like, I have a habit I've established established in my head of like, I'm doing a let's play. It's gonna begin this way. It's gonna end this way. And that's how it's gonna go every time. And the podcast, we've done like 200 of them where that was not a thing we did at the end.
Starting point is 00:03:35 It is a relatively recent thing. So I. I don't think anybody's faulting you for not doing the tail sink. It is the understanding of why we sink. That's what I was curious about. I think it was more just funny the way you addressed it when you said, oh, I stopped recording. No worries, I hit recording again.
Starting point is 00:03:53 Don't worry. Problem solved. That was, it was just your, your sure, how sure you were that you had remedied the situation, which was so caught us off guard I think. Yeah, it was like if I knocked a vase over or something of glass and then quickly grabbed all the pieces and said don't worry I got them all. Like it's yeah, it's not The situation is not resolved. It was just more I realized I had made my mistake because I'm so like instinctually, it's like, OK, we're done. I hit stop as soon as the show is over.
Starting point is 00:04:28 And I need to not do that. And I did that and went, Oh, no, I fucked up. I'm going to hit the record button again to try to reverse this. But now I know it's just gone. I would say it was more equivalent to you knocking over a vase and then quickly throwing a different vase at it. I would say it was more equivalent to you knocking over a vase and then quickly throwing a different vase at it Try putting them both together idiot
Starting point is 00:04:57 To your to your point though Andrew I have the same problem where I'm a creature of habit as well and I almost Hit stop recording almost every time we have to do a tail sink for the podcast now I'm not used to it either We haven't explained how we actually think but I don't know if people know, but we usually we have everyone mute except for one person and they count backwards from five. And when you kind of, we will join in at three. So we will end up saying three, two, one at the same time. Except usually, uh,
Starting point is 00:05:17 I would say like eight out of every 10 times when we all unmute, somebody goes, uh, I'm sorry, I came back in at one. It also works super well for the four of us. They're in Texas, but with Andrew, we're dealing with the speed of light. Yeah. There's also a thing that has occurred where the countdown kind of goes like five, four, three, two, one. And that will sort of throw everything into chaos. I am I have real performance anxiety for the count. And I fuck it up.
Starting point is 00:05:51 I feel like every time I have to do the count, like I get it in my head about it. I can't keep a cadence. I'm definitely guilty of making that problem. It is the problem for me of when someone else is doing the count of, OK, we're going to do the count. And then my brain will wander immediately because I'm muted and it's like my I shut off and then I'll wake up unless I constantly yell in my own head.
Starting point is 00:06:14 You got to focus on the count, focus on the count, focus on the count. Otherwise, I will drift instantly to something else and then panic on like two. It is a problem. Maybe what we should do is we'll have Eric stream some Formula One starting lights. I think I think what we have to do is just put like I think we just have to get like one of those coin dash runner games so Andrew can like pay attention to something while we all mute everything. Like it's a tick tock. Like Andrew, if I just throw, if, if that's on the screen where it's running,
Starting point is 00:06:53 Oh no, I'm never going to hit that count. I'm going to be all in on those coins. I thought maybe it would keep your focus just enough, but okay. What is that temple run? I think the show again. Yeah. I I had that exact same thing happen recently in a different way of like I get distracted and oh, man, it was dumb. I was playing. It's one of the dumbest moments I've had in a while.
Starting point is 00:07:21 I was playing this app. It's like a guest the jingle game with my partner, and it like plays a jingle thing. And it was a voice going, ho ho ho. And we're like, what the fuck is it? Like, what what Santa branded thing is this? And in the game, you can get like coins every time you beat a level, you get some coins and you can spend the coins to see the brand logo of the thing that you're hearing So I did that it was the Jolly Green Giant, which I didn't know he went. Ho ho ho. I had no idea
Starting point is 00:07:53 Ho ho ho Green Giant What he says I didn't know that so I thought I need to find an ad like I need to see this What's the context of this ad so I open up up YouTube, I type in jolly green giant ad or and I sort through and I find like a more recent one. I hit play and then, you know, only like open a video on YouTube on the bottom comments like pop up for it. It was like comments and it said, who else is here because of? And it was like some YouTuber or whatever.
Starting point is 00:08:21 And I looked at that and I said, what the like, who the fuck is that? Is where my brain went. And then it went to an ad and I I hit skip ad. And then the ad for the ad for the Jolly Green Giant thing started. And I forgot what I was doing. And I said, what the fuck is this? I said, I hit skip ad. You can't take me to another ad when I hit skip ad.
Starting point is 00:08:45 I was outraged in my head. And the matter of these three seconds, I was convinced that YouTube had changed their entire system. And now skip ad meant skip that ad and not go to the content. And then my partner said, that's the ad you search for. We're watching what you want. I was so angry. Dude. Wow. You're a creature of habit. I was so angry. Dude, wow. You're you're a creature of habit.
Starting point is 00:09:08 I love it. I just I was gone. I was lost in the thing. I've never been so upset and then realized I was so wrong so quickly. I rate I was so mad about that fucking green giant. Pay no attention to me in the chat. I'm just putting in the green giant.
Starting point is 00:09:24 You're so excited about these two two I feel like you found this one and you went oh we got this baby I'm just looking for making thumbnails dropped one in this coolest homemade costumes dot-com that is not the coolest homemade costume have you seen all the different variations through time of the Jolly Green Giant have you ever looked at that? I was looking for the one that was like the dude Let me green let me post it and we can go through and talk about the years of the giant There are some evolutions that I've certainly have never seen before Green what started out as just a normal giant.
Starting point is 00:10:06 He just ate too many peas. Oh, no. He really liked peas in 1928. Then in 1930, he ate too many peas and he turned green. He was the exact same dude, just fully green, including his clothes. I wonder if they just sent the first picture, the 1928 version to like a different company to update it, but it came through as black and white and they just thought he was all green.
Starting point is 00:10:29 Or maybe they were like, we're paying too much money screen printing all these extra colors. Let's just make it green. These are green. It's fucking one color. Then they completely redesigned him into sort of what you know today in 1936, but he was all about corn then. I guess it was a big year for corn. Then he goes in 1945, he gets married and has corn and peas. He's way bigger. That's
Starting point is 00:10:55 bizarre. It's probably how Shaq feels. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 100%. I like that in 1980 he got cold. He did. I like that in 1980, he got cold. He did. I like that in 1948, clearly his marriage went to shit and he just had a weird phase. He was just trying to find himself again. Yeah, he's like a bluey gray. This is midlife crisis. Yeah. 1950 peas. Then 1960, I think they tried to like get fun with it. And he looks like a cartoon character.
Starting point is 00:11:25 He looks like he belongs on the Flintstones. 1970s, he looks like he's in an animated show that will teach you how to do math. Like it's very like kid-centric. He got a scarf in the 80s. That's exciting. Ask the evolution. They haven't really modernized it. He's spoiled in 76, unfortunately. Yeah, he's gross. I think that his 1970 look is the best look in the whole thing.
Starting point is 00:11:50 The rest of it is. It's awesome. The rest of it's so weird. Like the 1961 looks like he's in like a Superman pose and everything. I don't like that. The 1971 is very much like, oh, we're going in like a direction here. And I think it was really smart.
Starting point is 00:12:04 And then they just changed it back to grosser green and then gave him a scarf. Jeff, you've been looking for things to fill some space up on your body for tattoos. Maybe go for every jolly green giant. Oh, that's interesting. You know what I gotta get tattooed now that I'm thinking about it.
Starting point is 00:12:21 Cause we're talking about Eric and I are brainstorming some ideas on some tattoo related content. I don't have a hot dog tattoo. Oh, you need that? And I don't want to like beat this hot dog thing to death. I've already done now three hot dog episodes on Soul Alright with some publishing. Oh my God. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:12:39 And then all of the hot dog related content here. But I got to say, I have never, protected by Falcons. The God bless the cosmic crisp apple who still shot still shout us out all the time on social media, by the way, love those guys to death. So many other popular things we've had. Not nothing has captured the audience's like fervent imagination and enthusiasm like hot dogs has. It's insane.
Starting point is 00:13:01 Well, I'm I'm glad that we went back on hot dogs. I wanted to address something with you that was hot dog related. Jeff, bring your spirits up a little bit because, you know, you just the last episode talking about tough times at the dentist. You have been recently you brought back your card ripped packs. I fucking destroyed that. That was a terrible. What would the it's not the break show. What do you call the daily rip? It was a daily
Starting point is 00:13:27 Oh, yeah, I brought it back for like a mission you did Yeah, cuz you were trying there was a hot dog variant and a top type of tops baseball pack I believe what was yeah top series tops 2024 series to baseball has one of the different parallel They have like summer parallels. Yeah, and one one of like a Statue of Liberty fireworks. One of them was a hot dog. And when I found that out, I decided that I was going to open a pack a day until I got a hot dog parallel. And so I didn't tell you guys about it or anything.
Starting point is 00:13:56 I was just doing it. No. Kind of for fun on the side. And on day five, I hit the hot dog parallel. I was very surprised by it. I was excitedly following all of the rips and you finally got it. And I don't think you fully necessarily appreciated how great of a hot dog card you got. So I screen capped it because you didn't mention this at all in the moment. Maybe you have reflected since then. But your man Matt Strom, that dude's eaten the dog.
Starting point is 00:14:22 It's lined up perfectly with his mouth. He's chowing down on the dog. That has to be the best of the hot dog variants. I can't imagine any of them are lined up as good as that. It's incredible. He's just chowing down. I was just so blown away by getting it. I had fully anticipated this taken like 30 or 40 packs
Starting point is 00:14:47 That I haven't I hadn't seen it. I didn't even notice it told us more. That is so awesome Andrew Yeah He's Pac-Man I'm one of my friends one of my old friends reached out to me the other day He saw it and he said that that guy, Matt Strom, is a big card collector. I was just about to ask, do you know about the card life? Yeah, I don't know about it, but he was my friend. Kevin was telling me that he's a he's real big into card collecting.
Starting point is 00:15:14 He has like a belt or something that he wears. He has a he has a belt that like he's all about this belt with cards and all this stuff. He has his own show called The Card Life where he's hosting a show dedicated to sports card collecting. He- Holy shit. Yeah, he used to be a Padre and then we traded him away or whatever.
Starting point is 00:15:33 And then since he's been on, I guess the Phillies is like a relief guy. It's been working out, but like this is his thing. He is super deep in this thing. So it's very, very cool. It's very, very cool. Interesting. I'm going to watch his show. Yeah, I learned something about baseball last night at baseball.
Starting point is 00:15:52 What did you learn? What did you learn baseball? The mound is an actual mound. Yeah, it's actually a little bit higher up. Yeah, I had no idea. That's cool. Is that the only thing you learned? It's the only wow. It's probably the most obvious thing I learned. Why is it higher? This is called
Starting point is 00:16:11 the mound. Yeah. What's the point in throwing from a mound? I believe that it is. It's to give the pitcher an advantage because when it's when you're throwing, you get more distance when you're coming off the mound on that stretch, like your front leg, and you are coming down and forward, and you can throw the ball faster. So if the mound is taller, do you throw it faster? I think that's probably... Probably, yeah, you probably would be able to eek out a little bit. It'd be mid-skill, but yeah. I want to see some bigger mounds.
Starting point is 00:16:42 A quick Google says, the pitcher's man was raised to help players have a faster pitch. They go avoid requiring players to make a running start before throwing the ball or taking any other dramatic measures. Oh, I disagree. We need to take away the mound. I think that we need to start. I think we need to start doing running pitches. Just like cricket.
Starting point is 00:17:01 Yeah. Yeah. I now want to see a game of cricket with two mounds. Can you can you imagine Shohei Otani running at you with a ball in his hand and then throwing it as hard as he can from 102 right into the small of your back? Yeah. Oh my God. I think we got the plot of Happy Gilmore three. It's the happy lead up to the pitch.
Starting point is 00:17:23 We were talking last night about would you rather get hit by a fastball or tackled by a linebacker and where everyone stood on that? Oh, OK. There's a lot of layers. How fast is this ball going? It's I listen, if you're going to get tackled by an NFL linebacker, then I we don't get to pick which one, but we can assume a certain size and power level.
Starting point is 00:17:50 So I'm gonna guess this ball has to be in the 90s. Matt, like maybe it's 92, maybe it's 90, maybe it's 101, maybe it's like Bobby Jenks throwing it, but it's gotta be in the 90s somewhere. It's a fastball, it's fucking, it's gonna hurt. And getting hit by a lineman, are they landing on you? What type of attack is it like going through? Are you just getting bowled over?
Starting point is 00:18:14 We determined that you can choose to be hit from a standing still position or hit while running if you would prefer. That's an interesting, that in itself. I think being hit while in motion is the way to go I think it helps disperse some of the some of the force but Yeah, especially if you're going the opposite direction you're going a different way The jolt to your body being hit from a standing still position has got to be pretty damaging other thing
Starting point is 00:18:40 I think it has to be the lineman right like because there's no way what a lineman isn't hitting you. I agree You guys are nuts. All I think about is yeah, Johnny Knoxville dying Like when they take his head off and it's just like just hit me hit me once you turn your shoulder You're hopefully getting into the back. It's gonna hurt so bad but like Even do pads on and everything dude, like a linebacker is just going to he's going to destroy. Here's the thing. I was imagining if I had to stand and take something, if it was a ball, I could put my hands over my face and it would just smash my hand. But
Starting point is 00:19:16 if I put my hands over my face and get tackled by a guy, it's going to hurt either way. Broken arms, dudes. But I like I would I don't have that much faith in my body. I don't have that much faith in my body. I don't want to end up like Mike Piazza, you know, like I don't want to brain damage. I don't want to get, I don't want to get, I've seen dudes get broken bones from getting hit by fastballs. Like that's fucking. You just said you don't want brain damage. So you, so you want to get hit by the linebacker.
Starting point is 00:19:42 I just think one hit it's going gonna disperse through your body. Your whole body's gonna absorb the blow. I think it's gonna do, I think it's gonna hurt less longer than the intense pain of being hit 80 miles an hour in my shoulder or my elbow or wherever. I think you're crazy. I think you have it totally backwards. I know, I agree with you, Jeff.
Starting point is 00:20:01 There you go. I've gone back and forth on this. I think I'm now leaning towards the guy again. Really? Yeah. I think so. Because that's something that actually happens normally. Yeah, I mean, yeah, I mean, we'd get destroyed. I don't know if you've ever seen.
Starting point is 00:20:15 There is the great clip of one. Remember, pros versus Joes on Spike or was like athletes against normal dudes. There's a lineman one where is like trying to like block or maybe it was a tackle. But there's one of a guy just getting fucking flung by an NFL player. That is fantastic. And I would rather do that than I just feel like a baseball is going to destroy everything it impacts where I'm going to get fucked up by the lineman. But I don't like it's not necessarily going to break me.
Starting point is 00:20:45 Somebody last night at the baseball game was telling us that their mom or their sister or somebody still has a scar from where she got hit with a baseball like 30 years ago. So it's like. I think maybe I don't know who it was, but anyway, I just yeah, I don't know, man. Well, Eric, you also said you had a dented leg or something. Yeah, I got I got hit with a baseball in the shin, but that's in the shin. I just don't think that getting hit probably in the back by a fastball is something that happens all the time in baseball. And nobody is going, we got to figure out a solution for this,
Starting point is 00:21:19 where it happens all the time in football and they're making them wear new helmets. Like they're they're making them wear new helmets. Like they're constantly trying to fix it. Dude, dudes in baseball have fucking elbow guards, wrist guards, they got guards going that halfway the size of their head. And they're not trying- Those are all new solutions though
Starting point is 00:21:37 that had to be put in place because of how dangerous it is. To blocking specific bone parts, but you block those bone parts and it's hitting you in the back, you're gonna be fine. I think you're gonna be fine compared to the linebacker. The linebacker's gonna fuck you up so bad. Like if I was 21, I think I'd have a different answer. Here's what's gonna happen.
Starting point is 00:21:54 It's gonna ping off your little elbow thing and it's gonna go right up under your neck and hit you in the throat and smash your Adam's apple. And then you're gonna fucking choke to death on your own Adam's apple. It's going to be some weird thing like that. It's dangerous when the way those things ping off. I just I don't know.
Starting point is 00:22:11 Compared to the linebacker, that's very, very safe. Yeah, absolutely. But the linebacker, I feel like the transfer of energy is nicer. Like if I jump at the last minute and I just go cartwheeling through the air, I'm I'm not it's not like a sudden deceleration. I also don't know that I'm gonna be able to react fast enough at 49 years old to move, to put my back in play when somebody's throwing a ball 98 miles an hour at me. I might see it, recognize what's happening
Starting point is 00:22:37 and then my nose is gone, you know? Eric, if I post a video in the chat, could you screen share for like 30 seconds? Is it the Johnny Knoxville blindside no No, it's not it's the sports science thing I was talking about. Oh hell yeah cool four minutes 15 seconds in and then you can if you Want to type in on YouTube sports science NFL defensive tackle Chris Jenkins versus average Joe yeah, okay? I guess here we go as it pros versus Joe's, but I'm watching okay I wasn't pros versus joes, but I'm watching.
Starting point is 00:23:06 OK, I am loading into Eric's loading. Yeah, I can see it. OK, we good. It's like a 10 second clip. Let's do this. So he's hitting play. They're lining up. I mean, that would be terrified to just stare down. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh and then flung and lands way before the bag that is supposed to absorb the blood. Just instantly. Definitely taking that over a fastball. As bad as that looks. Okay, now we're going into the jackass one. Okay. Who is it? Jared something. I don't remember his name.
Starting point is 00:23:44 He was on the Vikings forever. I 100 percent take that over. But get hit by a car like that. You fucking sucks. That's brutal. But this this is the reason that I'm picking baseball because of what happens immediately afterwards.
Starting point is 00:24:04 This is the guy whose life is being a stuntman. You're doing either way you're on the ground with that. Either scenario that's you on the ground. Oh my god. Oh look at him just crunched. He's fine. Decimated, decimated. Yeah, I'd rather take take that than the ball. You guys are crazy. I think I'd die. Yeah, the ball. I don't like sharp pain, like acute pain, you know.
Starting point is 00:24:38 There's something about it being another human that makes it less intimidating to me than a ball. Oh, still the regulation apple another human that makes it less intimidating to me than a ball. Still the regulation Apple cosmic crisp is back with their continued support of us and you the regulation community. This is a real ad from cosmic crisp. You guys have made this happen. Worlds are colliding. This is Cosmic Crisp Apples and Regulation Podcast. Here's the thing. October is National Apple Month and it's a great time to stock up on Cosmic Crisp because they take so long to turn. You know what I mean? We've talked
Starting point is 00:25:17 about it so many times. You know all these facts already. You already know that they're super crisp. You already know they're exceptionally juicy, and you already know they're beautifully bi-colored. The balance of sweet tart flavor of Cosmic Crisp is perfect for however you enjoy apples. Bake them in a pie. I think we have a video coming out about that. Eventually you can make applesauce. You can just post it on social media.

I know the math behind it doesn't make sense, but I'm not scared of like a grape being dropped on me from the Empire State Building. A grape? Yeah, like something small and absorbable. Like a kiwi fruit. Like, I know the velocity. Kiwi would be much worse than a grape.
Starting point is 00:27:13 Oh, they're both small. They're both like in my head. It's no problem. I can catch a grape in my mouth from the Empire State. A kiwi would go through my face. I think they would both do a lot of damage realistically, but because it's so small. A grape? Yeah, because of the speed. What's the terminal velocity of a grape? Like 20 miles an hour?
Starting point is 00:27:31 Well, wait, does it max out? Well, yeah. What's the max speed of a grape? I feel like you could throw a grape faster than you could drop one. a grape. I feel like you can throw a grape faster than you could drop one. Wait, how does that? Wait, because of like wind resistance, air resistance. OK, you know, that's you know, you bring up a good point. They're just so light. I don't think they would. I'm just I'm such a fan of is there like a dressing if there's a maximum. Well, here's the thing. Even if you could throw a grape as hard as you possibly could into my mouth,
Starting point is 00:28:07 way less damage than a kiwi. Should we try? Should we put a grape in the hot dog cannon and fire it? You see, that's going to be faster than terminal velocity. The terminal velocity of a grape is about 65 miles an hour. Right. I would not want to get hit. Whereas if you fight it from a cannon,
Starting point is 00:28:25 you could probably get a 200 mile an hour grape. That would suck too. I think you would, would you die? What's the terminal velocity of a kiwi? Somebody specifically left a Quora question that said, will a grape falling from the 22nd floor harm a child? What's the answer?
Starting point is 00:28:44 Found my other account. A terminal velocity is 65 miles an hour. It might leave a bruise if it hits their shoulder. Okay. I feel I've had arguments about this in the past. I feel like I was on the right side based on this. And what side was that? Then I'm not really that worried about the grape falling from the Empire State Building.
Starting point is 00:29:02 No. Yeah, I think you're fine. I think it'd be okay. Even like a well now an orange would be a problem. Apple would be disastrous. I mean, you could have something that's smaller than a grape but more dense would do a lot more damage. What's denser than a grape but smaller?
Starting point is 00:29:16 The pinball, bull bear, coin. I know, no, I meant in the context of fruit. Not in general, I thought we're talking fruit. I thought you were, I meant I'm in the context of fruit not in general. I thought we're talking fruit Intended to be in the realm of fruit not in the context of fruit I would say a cherry is denser than a that's an interest. Yeah, it has a seed in it. Yeah It's a pit. It's gonna fuck you up an olive Be like a xenomorph with the fucking the seed launches out upon impact as extra damage
Starting point is 00:29:51 stems from its core. I was going to say I have a quick other, you know, a Jeff card thing. I got another Jeff update related thing for you guys. Very exciting update on the balloon. As of this morning. A new picture. New picture. Balloon still up.
Starting point is 00:30:08 Oh, I'm pretty sure that that is a vent and it is sucking the balloon into the vent. And that's the only thing that is keeping that balloon up. Pretty sure that are you has the air conditioning been on for like two weeks straight? Well, it's just it's on automatic or whatever. Yeah, that usually comes on and off. That means it's I guess they're on helium. Yeah, maybe it's maybe still or it's like wedged in a little bit. Oh, yeah, I think it could be wedged.
Starting point is 00:30:36 Yeah, because I tried to get it out of that corner and it started to fall. So I had to remove weight from the balloon to get it back in the sky. And it went up and then it immediately ended up in that corner again. And I haven't touched it since. That's where it wants to be. It's where it wants to be. And that's my great corner update. Jeff, what were you going to say?
Starting point is 00:30:57 I was just going to say summer is officially over now. We were through summer and we're in the spummer, I guess. But I looked up the because we talked about it earlier. We were through summer and we're in the spummer I guess But I looked up the because we talked about it earlier I looked up the songs of the summer the billboard top ten global songs of the summer for 2024 And I was wondering if you guys had your finger on the pulse enough to be able to name any of them like what? Would you guys think billboard would say the song of the summer was I? think of them. Like, what would you guys think? Globally? Billboard would say the song of the summer was. I think the double shot of whiskey song is up there. Yeah, that that one's up there.
Starting point is 00:31:32 And I think espresso is probably on there. I would say probably. It's oh, not like us. Yeah, that has to be the number one. If it's not if it's not number one, it's definitely in the top five. What else was big on TikTok? What was that song? I would never purpose a baby.
Starting point is 00:31:54 That one that you never heard the full song of? Million Dollar Baby, that's probably on there. What about that Apple one? I don't think that's. No, I think that came out too late for it to be on there. What about, I like that I think that came out too late for it to be on there. What about um, I Like my whiskey
Starting point is 00:32:09 That one you know that one. Yeah, I know that one Pavarotti, I think you're probably good. What I think I know what you're talking about But I don't want to say it and be wrong and give one away and be wrong and give one away. Is that a Hosear? Did Hosear sing that? We said, yes, I think he did. We said espresso, but I think Please Please Please is probably on there also.
Starting point is 00:32:34 Yeah, that's also. And if that's on there, that means that Billy Eilish song is on there, Birds of a Feather. That might be too recent. No. Otherwise you're right. No shot. You guys are so good at this.
Starting point is 00:32:46 I'm so impressed with you. It's just the stuff that you hear on TikTok, like on repeat. But you guys nailed it. You guys got almost everything. Number 10. I don't know what it is, but number 10 is got to only by Floyd Menor X Chris MJ. I don't know which is like their gamertag, I guess. Number nine is that too sweet by Hosier. Chris MJ, I don't know which is like their gamertag I guess Is that too sweet by Hozier? Okay. Number eight is something called million dollar baby by Tommy Richmond That's it. That's right. Number seven is beautiful things by Benson Boone. I
Starting point is 00:33:18 Don't know what that is. Number six is I had some help by Post Malone featuring Number six is I Had Some Help by Post Malone featuring Morgan Wallen. Oh yeah, I forgot about that one. Which I think is. Now that Morgan Wallen song, yep, yep. That's his like country crossover shit. Number five is Not Like Us by Kendrick Lamar. Number four is Please, Please, Please by Sabrina Carpenter.
Starting point is 00:33:32 Number three is a bar song tipsy by Shaboosie. Oh, that's, yeah, yeah. And then number two was Billie Eilish, Birds of a Feather. Number one was Sabrina Carpenter, Espresso. So the song of the summer was Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter. I called that going into the of the summer was Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter. I call that going into the summer.
Starting point is 00:33:47 The first time I heard that song, I went, oh, this is going to be everywhere all the time. Am I crazy, though? That's already a song, right? Like, that's been a song before. What? I don't know what you mean. Like she released it previously or you recognize it sounds similar to something else. It sounds like 95% of the way to a song that's old. What song? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:34:09 It's pissing me off for three months. No, like, do you know the story? Like, the story behind the song is the producer took, like, sample stuff from... Oh, what the fuck is that website? There's like a sampling website where you can just download, oh, what the fuck is that website? There's like a sampling website where you can just download, hey, or get like these samples and then like, you adjust them and everything.
Starting point is 00:34:31 He just took the straight samples and then plus stuff sort of like some background around it and then repeated it and that's the song. Like nobody performed anything on it. He just got, he got like two samples. Yeah, it was just like, oh, here's two samples, put it together and that was it. He just got he got like a garage band demo. Yeah. It was just like, oh, here's two samples. Put it together. And that was it. This song cost me $17 to make off Sound Dogs dot com.
Starting point is 00:34:50 Yeah, right. It was. So he went to the main riff and drums featured are on the song are loops from a splice sample track called Power Tools Sample Plac three. God, is it power tools? That's so funny. Well, it's like the the the like gonging sound in Beat It by Michael Jackson was like just a sound demo from it was like a synthesizer
Starting point is 00:35:17 demo disc, and he just took the whole thing and put it in the song. Yeah. Oh, wow. That's why. Yeah. Stuff like that is awesome. Like there is one like relatively recently I saw of Gorillaz Clint Eastwood. The whole like thing was the default for a keyboard he bought. You know, the entire rhythm of it, like you didn't come up with any of it.
Starting point is 00:35:37 I saw one recently with like a G6, like the the kind of alarm and that was an accidentally made sound because he put the bell into the wrong track. alarm in that was an accidentally made sound because he put the bell into the wrong track. Yeah, that was intended for Bailey. Oh, I love that stuff. For me, there's an action Bronson song where he raps over the hold music at like a limo company or something, and he just turns into a whole song. I thought that was funny.
Starting point is 00:36:01 That's great. All that shit is stuff like shaggy's. It wasn't me. The vocals on that were like a test recording. Like they're not even like finalized properly recorded vocals because it was uncertain if that would even be a song. I just I find listening about like how music and records are produced. So interesting. Oh, yeah, I love that.
Starting point is 00:36:23 Gavin, what did you just send that sounds like something from Crash Bandicoot? Are you at the right time? I don't know what time am I supposed to be at? Like 7-eleven I guess okay, what what am I what am I listening to? Do you think that sounds like the wrong link you might have Do you think that sounds like the wrong link you might have You said 7-eleven, I don't know I was in 715 Okay, so that's not what Jesus Christ Yeah, it's the gong
Starting point is 00:37:03 Right. I thought we're still talking about espresso with you. I Thought you found it. No, he found the gong thing from the Michael Jackson thing. But what he but he linked to it. 7-eleven sounds like something from Crash. It does. Yeah. Yeah, I just was looking at the comments because my sound isn't coming through. Right. It sounds like Jerry trying to twinkle toes sneak by Tom. What if Michael Jackson used that instead of the Kong sound?
Starting point is 00:37:30 Last night we were talking about songs we'd heard the most in our lives. And I said the national anthem is probably like way up there for me. And then we were saying like, Oh, Jeff, you probably heard that a lot in the army. And then we're like, Oh no, what's the song they play on the and Jeff and Nick started humming duel of the army song. Nick thought that was a rebel. With the transition from summer into fall, NFL season is on. We did a kicker picker. We all pick kickers. We're tracking that throughout the next few months, seeing who will get the most points, the field goals and extra points.
Starting point is 00:38:28 We also did as part of I thought, you know, it'd be so much fun for the August Falcon event if we did an eliminator pool, which is something I've never done before, but I've always wanted to do it. It always seems like fun. The idea being that you pick one team every week. And if you're the team you pick is if they lose, you're eliminated. If they win, you continue, but you can't pick that team again. They're eliminated from your choices. So I organized a whole Falcon thing around it. I made, I think 11 different leagues so that we could have multiple winners,
Starting point is 00:39:03 which I thought was fun. Put it all together. We started it. And I said to the I pitched this the night before to everybody here, letting them know that I had done this and we were going to share an account. And we'd go in an egg order. Me starting first. Then we'd go to Nick and Eric, Jeff and Gavin and see how long we could keep this chain going. I was real excited about it.
Starting point is 00:39:29 And how far did we get, guys? Who's who's ready for your next your pick? Well, do you want to talk about your awesome fucking pick? Yeah. Yeah. You're you're really smart. Good pick. Yeah, I could pick any team. And I scrolled through and I was like, well, the first week, you know, you want to go for a favorite because you don't necessarily know how bad the other teams are.
Starting point is 00:39:52 So I went the Bengals against the Patriots in week one. And I didn't even pay attention to that game until late into the morning. And I checked and the Bengals were were down by I believe nine or eight when I looked and I said what the fuck is happening and we're out of the pool. We're eliminated. I am so sorry guys. Fucking week one dude. We were out before I even understood what you were doing. He still doesn't understand what you did. I still don't. It was less than 24 hours from me describing what we were going to do and how we're going to rotate who makes the picks to me, eliminating us from the pool. There are plenty of other Falcons still in it, and I'm tracking it and I'm
Starting point is 00:40:38 I'm watching. It's a lot of fun, but I fucking suck. I'm bad at this, apparently. So did the Falcons already know that we're out? In some of the leagues, it's very obvious and other leagues know. But now they will they will all know that we are out of this race. I watched that whole Bengals game because they're one of it's in my Scribs, as I call it. And it was a train wreck.
Starting point is 00:41:02 It was unbelievable. Also, Ramon Dray Stevenson looks awesome this season. In my defense, I think it was probably the biggest upset of the weekend and make probably the biggest ups like they were huge underdogs. The Patriots going into that matchup. Nobody had them winning. No, it's true. I don't think anybody on Earth thought that they were going to win that game. And I picked them and we got eliminated from the pool.
Starting point is 00:41:26 But that's not only where my fucking my luck ends with football. It's been a terrible start for me and the NFL. We did a kicker picker, which is a supplemental. You can watch or listen to where we went through the NFL. We each picked kickers. We have a roster of kickers. And part of that process that we discuss is if a kicker
Starting point is 00:41:48 gets hurt or they get released or whatever, you cannot replace them. And I got betrayed by Cade York. Cade York, one of my picks, got fucking fired from his job.
Starting point is 00:42:04 He is cut from the team. Why? I'm Dan, because he missed two kicks in the first week. And so the team fired him and I'm down a kicker unless somebody else hires. Look at him. I picked him because he had this dumb smile. He seems so happy, But everyone else is serious. And I now have beef with
Starting point is 00:42:28 Kate York. I mean, I'm sure he's more upset than I am that he doesn't have a job currently. Who was he on? He was on the commanders. He's the Washington commanders. Did you have an acronym that that now fucks up for you?
Starting point is 00:42:41 No. Oh, well, never mind. I can't remember all that. I can't. It's just so much to like you got to watch six teams and follow six teams all at once. It's hard now that he's not kicking for them. Can we hire him if ever we need something kicked? What do you need something kicked? Not not currently, but it's nice to have.
Starting point is 00:43:01 OK, let me rephrase that question. Do you need something kicked accurately? As if not, I got your guy. Kick a kiwi into my mouth. Oh, aim small miss small. You think it would be juicier to have a kiwi kicked in your mouth than if you were to bite into it?
Starting point is 00:43:23 The explosion. Yeah, there'd be an explosion of teeth. All right Can I add something to are we still doing the? Supplemental stuff tomorrow. Yeah, I think so. Can I add something to the itinerary? Yeah, Eric told me that there is No amount of blue cheese on something that is too much. Oh no. Oh no. I love blue cheese. I want to make something that's pretty heavily loaded with blue cheese to see if Eric can get through it. I think that's a good idea. Also, should we, and I don't know if I'll be able to do it, so I'm asking the group because I have a washing machine repairman coming at 9 a.m. But should we pick up all that candy that we talked about so we can do the blind taste test with Gavin?
Starting point is 00:44:05 Oh yeah. From the supplemental. That'd be easy to accomplish now. I mean, do we want to meet at a different time tomorrow or is that time still good? The time is still good. There just might be a guy outside the room fixing the washer. Okay, but then we have to go get the candy, right?
Starting point is 00:44:19 I was just going to see if somebody could pick it up beforehand. So here's what the issue is with what we're talking about. We is not me. That's why I'm addressing the group. We could be Nick. It could be Gavin. Anybody could pick the candy up today. Is anyone, any four of you going out today? You know what? I can go pick up the candy today after this. I'll do that. I just need a list of what to get. Eric has turned we is not me into me never is what I know.
Starting point is 00:44:48 I like I never said that. You showed me that's the group. And I said, could somebody maybe if I can't do it? And then Eric said, it's not me. And I was like, I get it. I didn't say you, but it could be Gavin. It could be Nick. It would be that's how all that went. Yeah, yeah, that's right. I mean, isn't that how that went?
Starting point is 00:45:04 Am I crazy? Yes. Yeah, you could have it even delivered to you. Am I crazy? Did you think I was talking to you? Yes, because that's the way it's done. Because because yes, because I didn't get that tool because when this defaults, no, because here's the issue and I'm fine with it. I'm fine. I'm fine with I'm fine with talking about it and figuring it out.
Starting point is 00:45:23 I'm trying to get ahead of it because a lot of this is like, I get worried when we go into these things late, that something falls. And then the supplemental that we wanted to do, we couldn't do it because I didn't get around to it because the rest of my day is packed. But Jesus Christ, dude, that's why I addressed the group and said, can somebody get the fucking candy ahead of time? So we're not caught flat-footed. I didn't say Eric. Can you get the candy? I was addressing the group as I I don't know why you took it as you I was no you're right address I apologize. No, you're right
Starting point is 00:45:56 I just don't want us to be stuck in the room and realize that we could have made more than we then we're going to And yeah, I I will take on the candy I don't make this even more complicated, but we could also try more than we then we're going to. And I I will take on the candy. I don't want to make this even more complicated, but we could also try potato. You is they? I think that's a great idea as well. Well, it's funny. Me is we what? What? I'm going to make. I'm lost. I was never found.
Starting point is 00:46:23 Speaking of potato toast. Yeah, I was never found. Speaking of potato toast. Yeah, I came prepared. Oh, you got some. I have. Created a sandwich, which I open or closed. Open it is the open faced mash hash cash sandwich is what I've created. Now a slight wrinkle with it.
Starting point is 00:46:49 I ordered all this stuff this morning to make it. And I did not know that the mashed potatoes would automatically come with gravy. That was not stated in the thing. Let me take a photo of open the open faced mash hash cash sandwich. Now what an open faced. How can the gravy be already in it? Mash hash cash sandwiches. You have your toast. You have the mash on top of the toast. You have then some hash browns on top of the mash. And then I had a I'm going to be honest, it was originally going to be the open face mash hash
Starting point is 00:47:31 stash sandwich because I had a fake mustache somewhere in my desk. But I couldn't find it. However, I did find a five dollar bill. Pretty good day for me. And it also still rhymes with mash. So did you eat? Did you eat around the five? No, I haven't tried it yet. I was waiting.
Starting point is 00:47:50 There are no bites taken out of this. Half of the bread's been eaten. No, it's I just put, I ordered toast and I get, I was given two full slices but they were cut in halves and I didn't have utensils. So that was the best I could do without getting gravy everywhere. Cause I want to go downstairs. I did this in the small, whatever. Doesn't matter. Are you not,
Starting point is 00:48:14 can you not just be happy that I have the open faced mash hash hash sandwich and instead criticize all these small details? Is that bag of peanuts behind it? No, those are, it's called dragon boat mix. They sell it at save on foods. Instead criticize all these small details. Is that bag of peanuts behind it? No, those are, it's called dragon boat mix. They sell it at save on foods. It's delicious. It looks good.
Starting point is 00:48:31 Peanuts with a shell casing. It's a little shell. I don't know what the shell is made of, but it's peanuts in a shell. Very good, but it is probably not as good as the open faced mash hash cash sandwich, which I'm prepared to take a bite of. So you've not tried any yet. Haven't tried a bite yet.
Starting point is 00:48:51 I've noticed that the entire plate is on top of your keyboard. No, on top of my laptop, actually. OK, which has a keyboard, which does have a keyboard. That is correct. Open laptop. Closed laptop. Why can I see the keys? You got keys on the top of your lid? No, no, no, no, no. We've been over this before.
Starting point is 00:49:10 I have two keyboards. Wait, wait, wait, wait. So it's on top of your keyboard, but it's not on top of my keyboard. No, it's not on my keyboard. It's on my laptop. My laptop's closed. And there's a keyboard on top of it. OK, so the keyboard is below the laptop keyboard on top of it. Okay. So the keyboard is below the laptop in front of it. It's below and in front. And that's how it gets crumbs. That's how it gets crumbs on it is because I put the plate on
Starting point is 00:49:35 the closed laptop lid and then crummage happens between me. I've got a solution for this by the way. Yeah. What's the solution? Put the plate literally anywhere else. I can't, no room. Desk is full. Only space I can fit a plate at the moment. It's like living in an air stream.
Starting point is 00:49:55 That pivots to something else I could do after this we'll talk about, but first I'm going to have a bite of this delicious cold, open faced. Oh, I wonder if we'll hear the crunch. I don't. I'll try. He says cold. Uh-huh. Oh, seems. It's not very cloysty.
Starting point is 00:50:18 It's not very cloysty. Yeah, he definitely said cloysty. I feel like cold would not be the way to do it. Nah. Like cold mashed potatoes aren't... How... would you heat up each element individually, or do you think that now that you've put the five dollar bill on it, you just toss that in the microwave and get it going is one thing? Yeah, the five dollar bill cover keeps it from making a mess. It kind of operates like a steam blanket.
Starting point is 00:50:43 Yeah. With the mashed potatoes. He's like a mashed potato. He's so silent. Did you choke and die? I'm just, I'm eating it. Canadian money is plastic, right? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:55 You know what? It's actually pretty good. I wouldn't order that, but the hash creates a little bit of a fun texture with the mash and the bread surprisingly combines both things very well. That was pretty good. As I said, I would not expect an open faced mash hash cash sandwich to be on a menu, and I don't think I'd order it twice if it was. But I'm excited to see your guys results with this, because I I think it was pretty good.
Starting point is 00:51:27 I thought that we were one and done with the cookbook, but it's pretty clear to me that we're going to have to make a second one because we keep coming up with recipes. Prime Big Deal Days is coming October 8th and 9th with exclusive savings just for Prime members. Involuntary deal Squeals can happen, like the Deal on New Running Shoes Squeal, the Deal on a New Blender Squeal, or the infamous Deal on a New Massager Squeal.
Starting point is 00:52:01 Save big on electronics, fashion, and more this Prime Big Deal Days, October 8th and 9th. Yeah, that was good. I'm excited to see what you guys try to do with this sandwich setup. So what do I need to prepare for potato toast? That's a good question, Gavin. What do you expect? Well, what I originally wanted was to spread the mash on toast and then put the little
Starting point is 00:52:21 crispy onion, onion, crispy onions, Sprinkles with a bit of black pepper. Okay. Because in my head it can just stay pasted to the bread. Like if you tip the bread upside down it would all still be on there. And the crispy onion sprinkles are just like the ones you have that like on top of, you have it like Thanksgiving, right? That's what you're talking about. Yeah, we can make that work for sure.
Starting point is 00:52:41 I think it's like the French's onion the French's onion crispy things, right? Okay, speaking of things that we need to clean up Eric. I'm sending you a slack right now Okay, we're getting into something serious that we've been putting off for a while, but I believe we're all ready to talk about it now We did puzzles We had a puzzle competition. Do we turn times in? I don't think we have times from everyone. Gavin said he was done and he had a time to submit. Is that incorrect? Should I have submitted it already?
Starting point is 00:53:13 Okay. Just submit it to Eric via Slack right now. Do you have a time that you can submit? It's been so long I don't remember my time. I need a picture as well. Okay. What do you mean that you need a picture? I'm don't remember my time. I need a picture as well. Okay. What do you mean? That you need a picture.
Starting point is 00:53:27 I'm gonna send Eric my time. Now here's I think the issue. I have to find where Jeff put his time. Which would have been. Okay. All right. Three months ago. Yeah, don't you?
Starting point is 00:53:38 All right. Where do you want this Eric on Slack? You can Slack it to me, it's fine. Now Gavin seemed worried that he had some issue with his. And that made me feel a lot better about mine, because I definitely had some issues that we will get into. Mm hmm. Yeah, there's a. I'm like mad at you, I think.
Starting point is 00:54:00 Oh, my God. Who? Which one? I'm mad at Andrew. Oh, yeah. Which one? Who? Which one? I'm mad at Andrew. Okay. Yeah. We'll get into this. This is not, I'm mad at everyone. Jeff is the only one.
Starting point is 00:54:14 Hey Jeff, I'm just letting you know you win. Oh, okay. Here's what's going on. Here's what's going on. Didn't even get a drum roll. No, no. This sucks. This sucks. This.
Starting point is 00:54:27 Go through each. And then we can explain. I'm trying to find Jeff's time. It doesn't matter. He wins by default. I just I think I just posted it in the chat. Oh, there we go. Did a great job.
Starting point is 00:54:42 Jeff did a great job. I think that's why I couldn't find it because it was. Four hours. In four hours, three minutes, 26 seconds. Wow. So now really good, Jeff. That's that's really good. That's a motherfucker. It was it was.
Starting point is 00:54:57 And Gavin's time was one hour and five minutes. What? However, that's the image that Gavin submitted to me. So that's where I was after an hour and five minutes, paused the timer, had to go out, came back and the cats had kicked it, kicked the shit out of it. And let's face it, if I was at that point in an hour and five minutes, I would have been like for 24 hours. Yeah, I hate that puzzle so much. The entire rim is green and trees. You don't know what you're working on.
Starting point is 00:55:33 It's bullshit. I hated it. It was the worst hour. That might be the least impressive amount of work in an hour I've ever seen. Oh, interesting. And that was that was entirely focused only on the puzzle in an hour I've ever seen. Oh, interesting. And that was entirely focused only on the puzzle for an hour straight, and that's what I got out of it. Uh-huh. Jeff, would you like to see Andrew's puzzle time?
Starting point is 00:55:54 Yeah, just for the record, he connected 26 puzzle pieces in an hour and five minutes. I counted. Yeah! That's about one every three minutes, I guess. Uh-huh. So this is my time and I'll have a story. And it was all edge pieces.
Starting point is 00:56:09 Yeah. Okay. And then here's Andrew's submitted time. My puzzle time, August 13th, 1140 AM. So I started August 13th, 1140 AM. We've talked about, I don't have a table. And so my plan was to take the things off my desk, which I did. I removed my whole setup and it wasn't enough space for the puzzle.
Starting point is 00:56:36 I just had a giant pile of pieces and I spent two hours trying to put it together. And I was struggling because I couldn't see the pieces. I did about as many as Gavin did in two hours and realized I cannot complete it under these conditions. Why don't you just do it on the floor? Oh, yeah. And we're great for you. That's a great plan. Great suggestion, buddy. Good call. for you. That's a great plan. Great suggestion, buddy.
Starting point is 00:57:06 Good call. Because I knew if I left on the floor, it would get fucked up in some way. So I couldn't do that. I just didn't have a surface for it. I could have done on my bed, I guess, but that also just there was no great outcome. How would she do a puzzle in a bed? It was a lot larger area than I had on my desk. And the problem was I had to pile the pieces. So I had all of the edge pieces and I had a lot of fun setting that up, but it just, I didn't have the space to follow through on my puzzle.
Starting point is 00:57:35 Where's your picture of your progress though? I didn't take a photo of the pro because there was no, it didn't even occur to me to take, it was so pitiful. I like, I would look at what you did and it would never consider, like I wouldn't consider taking a photo because I knew Jeff would have aced this thing. Can I admit something though?
Starting point is 00:57:54 Of course. I didn't know I was even a part of this puzzle thing until one arrived. I thought that was just you and Jeff doing it. No, that was absolutely all of us. Yeah. From the beginning. Oh, so Nick and Eric did it?
Starting point is 00:58:04 No. No, it was the three of us. It's pretty clearly covered I feel like I felt like it was also pretty clearly covered and I completely hand up. I salad creamed mine hundred percent Absolutely fucked it. I would love I will do this puzzle when I have the space to do it There will be an update on that. I haven't had a table in this place for three years. So my you know, I don't know when that will happen. But I had a lot of fun doing it. And Jeff, I am genuinely incredibly impressed because even with a full table, I don't think my time would come close to yours.
Starting point is 00:58:40 Your puzzle skills shined. Oh, well, that's very kind of you. As the only only one who competed I feel pretty good about myself. Yeah, no kidding I'd love to do this again someday Maybe when we're all in different places in our lives and can accommodate the space of a 500 piece It was a 1000 piece puzzle. That was a 500 piece puzzle and That's why I picked it 500 piece puzzle and that's why I picked it. Yeah, we can we can take him forever.
Starting point is 00:59:07 We go to seven. I mean, if seven works a little bit better for you guys. It was very unhappy with my time. Took about an hour longer than I thought. I would like to do it again someday within with a different puzzle. Well, where did you struggle? Is it all the trees in the top? The trees and the leaves. I thought it was such a nightmare. Like the way to tackle that puzzle is you do the border
Starting point is 00:59:27 real fast, you knock it out, that's not hard. Then you pull all the fur out to the side and deal with the bears later. The easiest thing to tackle then is the sky. So you do the sun, all the red and the orange. Once that's done, you don't have much room for the blue. So you fill the blue in and then it gets hard. Then you gotta work the trees out.
Starting point is 00:59:45 And that's where it gets real. I I'm such a big fan of you saying that you just knock out the border real quick. And I just scrolled back up to look at Gavin's picture. I could not figure out which tree was on which side. I could not figure it out. Gavin, you certainly have a table. Why did you choose to make it on the floor? It's just.
Starting point is 01:00:04 It's always where I've done puzzles. Did you ever done a puzzle on a table. Why did you choose to make it on the floor? That's just. It's always where I've done puzzles. Did you ever done a puzzle on a table? What? That's a. It's a weird choice. Is it? Yeah, the floor is like the go to place to know. For a kid. Easy to kick. I mean, Jeff, you're the you're the puzzle professional here. What do you think?
Starting point is 01:00:23 I always do it at a table? Yeah? I've always done on table. I Did that one on my kitchen counter? Which is why I had to do it in one sitting so I just sat down and did it and then yeah That was my plan I have very fond memories of like going to my grandparents house And they would have a table with a puzzle on it, and you just work away when you felt like it I don't know that I've ever done a puzzle
Starting point is 01:00:47 in one sitting like that before. That was interesting. Because you know, for me, it's like a stress reliever thing like you're describing with your grandparents. So I do it like an hour a day or a half hour a day. That was, it was fun to do it that focused. So it was a pleasant four hours? It flew by.
Starting point is 01:01:02 Did you have anything on listening to or like watching TV or something? Yeah, I was listening to podcasts. I think I was probably listening to like Bill Simmons or something. Where did you go? Yeah. Like what did you have to do, Gavin, that interrupted you from the puzzle? Oh, I don't remember. It's like two months ago. That's a go out.
Starting point is 01:01:18 I just I don't know why. Like if you had to leave in an hour, I don't know why you'd start a floor puzzle. Yeah, I didn't know how long it would take. I thought you'd be doing less than an hour. I definitely got to say, as a person who owns a lot of cats and has owned them for a while, a floor anything seems like an odd choice. I think this might be the first puzzle I've done in 20 years. I think I just OK.
Starting point is 01:01:44 I don't think I ever got good at them. You done in 20 years. I think I just, I don't think I ever got good at them. You just overconfident. Oh yeah. Done is a strong word. You and I did not do a puzzle. Well, I mean, as far as I know, you could have just written the date. You didn't even put any time in. There's no evidence that you did anything apart from write the date down. Okay. You're right. Give Give me I'll take 15 minutes and I'll throw the pieces on the floor and combine 26 pieces. All right. OK, genius, genius. Put together the bottom row in 15 minutes.
Starting point is 01:02:16 Let me get the pieces out. There's no winning that, like, I don't like even if I do that 15 pieces, it's what what's the bottom row? Listen, we both fucked this up tremendously. I was so worried about mine knowing I had fucked mine up. And then when you expressed doubt about submitting stuff and concern, I felt so much better. Well, I want to go back to the original episode and see if I was ever a part of this. Yep. Well, it's available online for free. original episode and see if I was ever a part of this. Yep Well, it's available online for free
Starting point is 01:02:50 And as the person who typically proofs them you should be the most aware well not if it was never said You like listen I can't wait to record episode. What is this 21? I can't wait to record episode 22 for Gavin to go I got a clip You better have a goddamn clip Either way, he's only gonna have a clip if it exonerates him. No, I've had clips against me before okay Oh, yeah, that's true. Yes, fair enough Look, we can it was it'll be taken down. It was back in June. The end of June. Let's see. Let's see what episode this was. I'm trying to narrow in on it.
Starting point is 01:03:33 Jeff shared puzzles and we talked about puzzles for a while. I really like, the reason I bought and sent you a puzzle is because you were part of it so I don't know man I don't know what to tell you what I said was it only I'm listen that's right that's what I'm looking at right now to see if there's a it might be eight potentially could be eight that was 500 pieces yeah thousand thousand piece puzzle would have been fucking nightmare to do in one sitting. For the record, by the way, this went almost exactly as I expected it to go.
Starting point is 01:04:13 I was on, I was furious. What? Why? I started it, I started quite excited and I can't believe how livid I was after about half an hour. I also was very excited. Why didn't, why didn't you just let Meg help you? She wanted to put together the puzzle so bad. Oh, she did the puzzle. She did it.
Starting point is 01:04:29 Well, she had it finished like less than a week later. She'd already done it. Did she do it on a table? Yeah. Oh, my God. I was trying to find the puzzle. I was like, where did I where did I put it? And then I remembered, oh, it's actually remember how I had
Starting point is 01:04:52 the norm DVD supporting the laptop and I swapped it. And the number was under my nose the entire time. This is right there. Don't stop. You have to stop showing Gavin your keyboard. He's going to go insane. He's going to get so mad. Absolutely disgusted. That is the honey mustard remnant
Starting point is 01:05:12 that I told you about. I spilled it. It's a little honey mustard remnant. I, uh, can I tell you guys I, uh, I gave myself a good old fashioned ffashioned face the other day Yeah, you did yesterday. What did you feel like I should share? I told you last night Andrew, but you haven't heard it yet So yesterday morning Nick posted to the group a list of about 20 episodes of face
Starting point is 01:05:41 That he needed clean audio from the reason, we're going back and we're making like best ofs and compilations and stuff, and we're doing sort of like a compilation of different periods of the show, and we need to strip out the licensed music. The old intro to the show because we no longer, like I guess we can keep the old episodes up that already have it, that were paid for,
Starting point is 01:06:03 but we can't like reuse it, right? I just thought we couldn't use it for this or for this, right? But the old thing is the old thing the old thing where we had the rights for it and then right But if we re upload now, like we don't have It's still the old thing. I don't know. I actually like stripping it out for the purposes of what we're doing here I think it makes it cleaner. I just I don't know like I I'll say yeah, man Go ahead and just put it up with the music and then we just deal with the consequences. I guess I mean I'm not the arbiter of this. Well, listen, I already face myself. So there's no reason to do all that So anyway, he posted a list of like 20 episodes the first one was episode 4
Starting point is 01:06:43 the Went up into the 50s, right? of like 20 episodes, the first one was episode four. I went up into the 50s, right? And he said, like, I just need everybody's audio from these episodes. And I thought, I'm gonna fucking, I'm gung-ho about this. Anytime Nick needs anything, I feel like Nick does a lot of work for regulation that requires other people to send stuff to him. And I never wanna be the holdup for Nick to get shit done.
Starting point is 01:07:03 And so I always try to get it done immediately and So I sat down to find those episodes and then I realized a couple of things all at once one My favorite thing to do at Rooster Teeth was to mislabel every file I ever created I started doing that to Bernie like around season two of red versus blue and then I did it to Jack for years at Achievement Hunter and the editors and then I did it to Regulation to Nick and the editors of Face and Regulation. And what I have is 205 episodes of Face that are labeled things like Sonic's Nutsack dot way or Jeff and Eric and Gav and Andrew and Nick talk about something dot wave or I'll Andrew and Nick talk about something. Dot wave.
Starting point is 01:07:45 Or I'll go and put my folder up. Mine's like, you know, face one nine three Gav. And I already see a file in there called like Thursday Mouth Sounds dot wave. Yeah. Words with my face. Yeah, a lot of that stuff. And so that makes it real hard. The other thing that really fucks you is pleasantries
Starting point is 01:08:05 are a motherfucker because the episode starts somewhere between like 90 seconds and 18 minutes into the recording. And you're only getting your feed. So you're listening to a third or a quarter of conversations trying to figure out where the goddamn episode is gonna start. And then we didn't label the episodes with numbers on the fucking podcast apps for the first like 65 episodes.
Starting point is 01:08:31 So those are no help. So you're like just trying to pick a, it fucking hurts so bad. And then another thing that we did that really sucks is we just wouldn't do intros, right? So then even if you find the fucking intro of the episode, you don't say what episode number it is. Sometimes we say it at the end.
Starting point is 01:08:48 And so finding 20 distinct episodes where I mislabeled them, we don't talk about it for the first nine minutes. When we do talk about it, we refuse to say what episode number it is. And then we don't publish the episode number when we put it online. Made it almost fucking impossible for me to help Nick out
Starting point is 01:09:07 But I did it it took two and a half hours to find 20 fucking episodes And I wanted to pull my fucking hair out by the end of it I karmically faced myself so hard for 22 years of being a dickhead with file naming And I just want everybody that I have wronged in the past through that to know it got me. It got me hard yesterday. Can I tell you what I would have done? Yeah. I would have looked to the date that the folder was created and then looked to the date on my file.
Starting point is 01:09:36 The date the folder was created was just like an empty folder that didn't have anything in it. It was like created the day yesterday. The Google Drive folder? Where I was uploading stuff. yeah. Yeah, those are new. Those are new. You could just type in, you could just go to the folder of F***face103 or something and that will tell you the date. Do we have access to those old Google Drives? I don't think so.
Starting point is 01:09:57 I don't think we do. I do. Don't you? No. No? Can you link me that whole thing? Yeah, can you send that to Nick? Yeah. No. No? Can you link me that whole thing? Yeah, can you send that to Nick? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:06 Just as an example of what Jeff's talking about, this is a random episode of the F***face podcast and his audio is uploaded as whofuckingknows.wave. Yeah. The only person who never uploaded to these was Nick. Do you have them and not upload them so you're the only person on earth who can actually recreate an episode of F***face in its pure form? I am so important right now. Well you also didn't know about these folders. Well anyway, anything you can do to make Nick's life easier. It comes too late to help me in
Starting point is 01:10:42 any way whatsoever but that's fine the The universe the universe got it got its pound of flesh yesterday You have any favorite file names Jeff or is it just like you do the joke and it's gone Yeah, usually the joke is only for me that makes sense to something that happened to me 15 minutes to an hour earlier And I forget it one second after I make it to myself. Yeah, it's not I don't it doesn't stick with me. Like I don't look they don't look like anything to me. I don't know what they mean when I look back on them.
Starting point is 01:11:13 Somebody brought up I saw a post of my desktop with things that I apparently have an audacity file called commercial takes that AUP. Oh, that's the one you were talking about. I wonder if that's the like 25 minutes of me just doing different takes. Oh, and if so, you should probably release that. So if we should release that, because that commercial never came out, I never, I never learned which take they would have went with.
Starting point is 01:11:39 Yep. Oh, man. Well, we should wrap this episode. Oh, we should. And we should look at that commercial takes thing because boy that could be some good supplemental content of just noises. As we wrap this up, let me leave you guys with a thought for some potential supplemental content
Starting point is 01:11:55 that I don't think we should make. You guys have heard of time capsules, right? Yeah. Yes. What if we all made a special kind of time capsule where each one of us went and stole one thing from somewhere in the world and we all put it into a time capsule. We call it a crime capsule and then we bury it. And if anyone finds it, we all go to jail. Dude, crime capsule rules.
Starting point is 01:12:19 Yeah, those are my notes. Oh my God. So we just have to make sure the result of a crime is in there. Yeah. Yeah. Crime capsule. The crime capsule is such a funny sketch where it's like, oh, this is I didn't pay for the movie like it's all low stakes thing. And somebody just puts in a bloody knife. Oh, absolutely. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:42 The escalation like the heightening for that sketch is so good. That's awesome. Oh, that's so, that's such a funny premise, Jeff. Well, thank you. There you go. Think about our, think about our crime capsules and what we would put in there. I love the crime capsule. All right.
Starting point is 01:12:59 Well, thanks for listening to the podcast. What would you put in your crime capsule? Don't actually do it And if you do do it don't credit us with it. It was a joke We're not trying to get anybody killed and put into a capsule, but you should listen to our podcast Subscribe to our patreon if you want to you can just go to Regulatrion.com or Jeff.
