This is a Rooster Teeth production. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 3 o'clock. He was a second early. You're an idiot. It did look a little early. Not to get into a whole thing. Hello, and welcome to another episode of the F*** Face Podcast. This is episode 151. My name is Jeffrey Ramdo. Ramdo?

Jeffrey Ramdo? Can I do another take? Yeah, go ahead. I was going to do a bit, and I forgot. You can do as many as you want. Are you going to do a preview? There's no limit. No, no, no. Yeah, of course. That would be crazy.

Well, now I've completely botched it in all ways. My name is Jeffrey Paul Wright, and with me as always, Raymond Sommaire in Canada and Pat Gavindale from the UK. They are all T-Eagles. Raymond, Pat, how are you doing? I'm great. How are you?

I'm good. I'm good. I used my birth name, the name I was born with, Jeffrey Paul Wright. Just in case you didn't know that. I used to try and have like an alter ego character when I was at school. It was called Errol. Errol? Like Errol Flynn? He didn't have a last name. What was the point of Errol?

Like, what did he do? What was the character? What's the alter ego? What was your thing? He was like me, but a bit cheeky. What do you say? I go, oh, that was

so fucking funny. That doesn't seem... That doesn't... That feels really weird to make a whole alter ego for just a little bit cheeky. Like, I feel like there needs to be a wider change for you to have an alter ego.

I know, all my friends decided to do it. Like, I had a friend called Frank, and he was like, oh, that was a little bit of Herman there. It would be like if I said I have an alter ego named The Flux, and the difference was I wore hats as The Flux. That was how you could tell. Like, it doesn't really matter. It's a slight difference. You probably came across the same was I wore hats as The Flux. That was how you could tell. It doesn't really matter. It's a slight difference. You probably came across the same. I was probably 13 though so there's not a lot of logic behind it.

Can I ask a question? Yeah. Andrew, you pulled the name The Flux out of thin air so quickly. It sounds like a name that you have been thinking about for a while. Did you just invent that off the top of your head? I did. I went through like three other ones

and that one sounded the best. The Flux. Errol Flynn versus The Flux. We got superhero characters. We're set. Oh my god, that's funny. One is a bit cheeky and the other wears hats. And his name's

V-something. It's like a superhero. What's your power? I have hats. I have a head that can fit a hat. I don't get sun in my eyes, so I can see better. Reduce sunburns. That's a weird start, wasn't it? That's a great start. I can't believe that's

maybe the biggest reveal to begin an episode Yeah, that's a big one. What a... have you ever told anybody that? Has that ever been in any other piece of content that you can remember? Um Errol? No, yeah, I don't think I've ever mentioned that. Errol Free. I went to try to convince Michael that my birth name was Cedric But he didn't go for it. No. Yeah. I couldn't get through it without laughing so he he found out that is a giveaway so is Errol still around like is there a cheekier version of you now that can speak him out or should I be like oh that's Errol speaking or

when did Errol die I think Errol died the same year he was born but I feel like now like maybe if I'm oh maybe if i'm a little bit tipsy now maybe arrow will come back can we get a tombstone can we get like a grave for arrow somewhere can we have like an official placement for arrow like uh 2002 to 2002 arrow yeah exactly but like in a cemetery can we can we just buy a space and put an arrow grave down i bet we could i bet we could uh then facelessness can go and pay their respects to arrow yeah i think we probably want an isolated part of the cemetery for that jim morrison's grave you can go leave shit there how much would it cost to bring in a load of dirt

to the show floor of RTX and put tombstone in it oh man that's great for the museum that's perfect Errol did Errol have was it Errol Free or was it a different last name was it a full

just Errol like in quotes Errol now you've been talking a lot about arrow was cheeky can you give us some cheeky arrow examples of when arrow would come out yeah what's an arialism i think if i was just i can't really remember you'd have to i'd probably have to talk to some of my old friends to be like you remember when arrow would come out did did arrow have walkout music did you have a whole alter ego did you think now would errol just come out would you just say something and that was errol or would you think about it and decide you know what errol's gonna make an appearance here i'm gonna say that's

slightly more cheeky thing um i think i would always talk about him in the past tense like errol had happened oh so it was like a cover. Like, you'd be cheeky and you'd be like, ah, sorry guys, Errol showed up for a minute there. But we all had these characters and we'd all talk about our characters. Wait, wait, you all had characters? Well, yeah, like Frank had Herman.

But we would, like, often talk about what they were like. Look, I had a very long walk to school, all i had about a 35 minute trek across town oh it was boring you had to do these things i respect i just love what i could i couldn't have lived further from the school without being like in a bus district i thought this was a youth thing the fact that you had a community of friends all doing the same thing i'm so glad you all found each other that's such a wonderful four of us i think uh i think it's delight a positively delightful oh man i also had a another character that i would only bring out amongst a certain few people this is probably when i was when i was 20 yeah in the south of france whenever we would i used to go there a lot with the same group of

friends and i would always whip out a character called uh stewart the bumbling customer and i would like look at i would look at stuff on the shelves i'd like pick up a shampoo and then accidentally knock down like seven shampoos and it would just crack up these three friends and i have to go back and like put it all back up because uh i worked in the supermarket and i couldn't live myself to leave it like that But I would just knock shit over the supermarket and then be like maybe like oh Stewart's back Honestly I shouldn't I talking about all this in a row like six minutes I'm starting to feel like a real freak so I want to

Stewart is more normal Stewart feels like you're doing a sketch almost like that's a character where Errol feels like a real freak so i want to put no i i feel like stewart is more normal stewart feels like you're doing a sketch almost like that's a character where errol feels like a strange you're just slightly more sassy i've pulled out stewart around meg before she hates it she's not a fan so uh stewart stewart also has died unfortunately i can't believe i've known you i've known you five years before stewart was born and I've never seen Stuart the thing is I forget stuff like I'm

I probably forgot it for a decade and then I whipped it out again but yeah in the middle I lived with you and I think Stuart and Errol

were both dead at the same time well and also like you have different you have different shit for different friends right like and so that's true

oh yeah you probably you compartmentalize that stuff and you don't realize it yeah I should have whipped out stewart when uh when we were shopping for the tiniest thing the other day eric can you imagine if gavin slipped into a character named stewart that we had never seen or been exposed to before

in the grocery i would have lost my mind we just keep asking him questions about the rules and he knows that he has to answer them, but he won't. And now I hate I would hate Stuart. That's terrible. I hate it. Oh, boy. Oh, man. What a start.

Hey, can I ask where do the names come from? Was Errol a name that you were just like fascinated with or like it wasn't? I think it's a really I think it's a really funny name. I think it's great. Errol? Yeah. Yeah. It's fun's great. Errol? Yeah. It's fun to yell. Like if you're annoyed with somebody.

I mean, I haven't heard it yelled. Were you aware of the famous British actor Errol Flynn? God, no. Who was like Robin Hood and all that stuff. No, I didn't know anyone who was Errol. Wasn't modeled after him in any way. That's great. No.

Thank you for sharing that. I think Errol Flynn was Australian, wasn't he? He might have been. I great no thank you for sharing that i think errol flynn was australian wasn't he he might have been i don't know it's all the same what would your if you had did you guys go into any characters when you were younger not that had names yeah oh you did oh what what was yours i i used to be i oh no i i used to be... Oh, no. What is this going to be? I'm so worried. Talk about not thinking about stuff for years and years and years.

Up until I was way too old, whenever I was by myself, I would pretend I was Wolverine. Like, in what way? Like, I would call myself Logan, walk around, like, always be ready to pop the claws, like, always looking around for, like, ninjas to be attacking me. And I mean, and by too little, I mean, I was probably, I might have been 14 when I stopped. Oh, man. I was hoping this was later.

Like, seven. So what would you do? So, like, from, like from like 7 to like yeah I'd be like I'd walk around in my neighborhood and be like I'm the best at what I do and I'm very pretty and I would do all this shit and I would say all that stuff and I'd be like on my way to

like if I was gonna go to my friend Mike's house I'd be like on my way to rendezvous with Cyclops or like whatever you know and I would just have all these X-Men fantasies in my head and I was always Wolverine I had like some I had some excuse for why I was taller than Wolverine something that happened to me I don't remember it was great yeah now that did Mike know he was Cyclops or was this just oh nobody nobody had any idea I never shared this when it would rain oh my god dude all the best Wolverine comics were like him like bending down popping his claws in

the rain he's got like a menacing face on and you know shit's about to get real so anytime it would rain in Alabama I would run outside and run around as Wolverine in the rain I just fucking so I assume this was before the amazing Saturday morning cartoon with the amazing theme tune uh it would have probably been around then uh probably a little bit before maybe a year or two before I think that was like 90 when did that come out like 91 97 something like that 97 i think seven uh can't what you said walking around ready to pop the claws and when that situation presented itself jeff what would happen i'd pop the claws okay imagine him walking around with like three carrots between his fingers i'd pop

the claws i'd pop the claws and then I would fucking take out invisible dudes yeah I feel like that's like a wrist snap in my head you do for like the action or like what the pop is yeah almost like shooting yeah that's so great I love that you did that I don't have that I wish I had do you remember when Wolverine died do you have a moment for that when you just stopped uh yeah it wasn't Wolverine that Wolverine, he caught a stray bullet. Oh, no, he caught a stray from another thing. I was I think I may have told this story on this podcast or maybe on a different one. So I'll be brief. But like I was in my front yard one day playing G.I.

Joe versus Transformers, as you do. playing G.I. Joe versus Transformers, as you do. And I had built this base out of this dirt pile, and G.I. Joe was going in to infiltrate. The Transformers were the bad guys this day. So it flipped. Sometimes the Transformers were the good guys.

Sometimes it was G.I. Joe. It just depended on whatever the storyline was. And they were infiltrating, and they were going to try to blow this base up. And I just wasn't having fun, and I'm like 14 or 15, I think at this point, and I just wasn't having fun,

and I went inside, and what you do when playing with G.I. Joe gets boring is you go find your firecrackers, and then you start laying depth charges, and fucking C4 and stuff, and blowing stuff up, and I was blowing up my G.I. Joe characters and it still wasn't fun. And I just remember looking at them and thinking,

this is never going to be fun again. This is over. I just grew up. I was like, this is the moment when I realized I'm not a kid anymore and I'll never enjoy this again. And it made me so unbearably sad that there was a kid who lived next door to me I lived in a duplex at the time

it was a kid who lived next door to me who was about 11 or 12 I couldn't fucking stand him he was obnoxious but I uh I just took all my GI Joes that day and I put everything in a trash bag and I just walked over and I gave it all to him and I was just like you can have this I don't I don't think I'll ever use it again.

And I think Wolverine, I don't specifically remember the day that Wolverine's healing powers finally failed and he succumbed to old age or death or whatever. Uh, but, uh, but he definitely died that day. I think in my,

in my heart, you know, and that was, that was like the day I remember the day I remembered I wasn't a child anymore and I was something else. And what was even sadder? Cause the, like what was even sadder in that moment was I realized I,

I no longer had joy in the things that I had been enjoying my entire childhood, but I didn't know what I did. Like, you know, it's like, I don't, I know I don't like all the stuff I used to like now.

What do I like going forward? You know? And I, it was, it took me a little while to figure that out. I would have loved if you had a one last claw pop moment if you just had the you're aware you're like this is it this is the last one i mean maybe maybe maybe like who knows maybe once or twice you know in the woods and when i'm 15 or 17 or whatever you'd have a moment where you'd slip into it and then you'd be like oh what am i doing i'm fucking 17 or whatever but yeah that's

great i imagine it just all your friends were gone for some reason you're just waiting for a bus on your own and you just popped them yeah yeah probably see if i still could you know see if they still work you're like i don't i don't resort to violence anymore but it's good to know i can if i have to wow who would have thought andrew was the normal one well no i i mean i didn't have a name i had a similar very similar experience to jeff where i'd play like with plastic swords and like the backyard and pretend I was having fights and whatnot. And I distinctly remember being like 10 years old and doing it and having the thing of like,

I can't buy into this anymore. And I just never did it again. Just like the sadness of like, oh man, all the joy. Like you said, I did. This is, this isn't fun anymore. I can't buy into this. This is sad. This is an end of a chapter.

Yeah. It was a legitimately, and I assume it's the same for you, Andrew. It was a legitimately heartbreaking moment for me. Very heartbreaking. Which is why I'm 47 and I can still recall it like it was yesterday. Yes.

Those become foundational memories, yeah. Absolutely. And I wish I still had that. It's a thing i lost that i wish i still maintained i'd love to be able to have that much fun just swinging a plastic sword around yeah well you know you can you could have done that whenever you wanted to achieve 100 it was tons of fun there's a lot a lot of sword play back then eric and nick were either of you freaks no not i can't think of anything that i did like that like when i was a like a kid we pretended to be the x-men but it wasn't like i was walking

around waiting to pop the claws yeah you're ready just you know playing with friends being like we're the x-men and like yeah fighting things like that. That was kind of it. I would use a pseudonym a lot. I would use the name Terry Modesto Jr. When I had to fill out paperwork that I didn't want anything to do with. That was just my knee jerk go to. But it didn't like I didn't have I wasn't a bit cheeky when it happened. I just continued being me. Where did Terry Modesto Jr. come from?

That's such a specific name. I don't know. It just, it seemed like a, like a real fake name to me. Like, it seems like a fake name, but it just has like one layer where you go, could be a real name. And that, that to me is where it really worked. I feel like all of our fake names give a good indication of where we all grew up. I gotta say, Gav, I think you deserve the most credit. I was playing some shit I read in a comic book.

You invented characters out of sackcloth and ashes. I think that's probably a lot harder. I have a lot of respect for that. Same as Terry Modesto Jr., of course. You guys weren't just latching on to some ip that was already popular you were creating your own i feel like that the next episode is gonna have a great intro that's what i'm saying nick yeah what is nick talking about in the chat i had a weird combined one as a kid what it was a grouping so it was like uh my friends and i were fans of the power

rangers as kids but we also liked professional wrestling. So we would kind of combine them. You'd be like, oh, the Red Rangers going off the top ropes kind of thing, you know, like doing goofy shit like that. So it would all be like, Jason, Tommy, you know, like goofy stuff like that. But the day that it ended, I remember very well when Tommy and Jason were put to rest is when we were wrestling on a giant trampoline and I drop kicked my friend off the ledge. He was fine, but on that day, the magic died with the king. That was the last day of the WrestleRangers.

Yeah, the WrestleRangers ceased to be. Whenever Nick does the voice of himself as a kid, I can't help but picture the little propeller on his head as he's doing god damn man what a funny what a funny conversation we stumbled into that i was that's 20 minutes of shit that definitely wasn't written down anyway yeah i didn't have any of that in mind i just i can't it's gonna be a while before i escape the idea of eisen ivan ooze getting hit by a steel chair and looks like he's a kid purple shit flying everywhere that's great i love that oh man what a time yeah i can't believe we're what like almost 20 minutes into this and this is not not you are, as far as I'm concerned, Jeff, the star of this episode.

You have I want to know so much about how your weekend went. We built up the big sports weekend last episode. I need I haven't asked any questions in our personal life because I'm just so excited to hear it. I've just seen one clip. Yeah, I saw we've seen the same thing. Yeah, let me let me let's get into that. We'll mix it up with that. Although I don't know how many great stories there are to tell or anything,

but I'll recount the weekend. Yeah, I'd love to hear that. Eric can as well. He was a part of most of it. But I do have some hot info that I need to drop that you guys are not aware of. Eric knows about it, but the rest of you don't. are not aware of. Eric knows about it, but the rest of you don't. There has been

a major, major, major face update in the last one. Oh, man. What? An insane thing has happened. I'm terrified. About five days ago, Emily walked in to Millie's

bedroom to ask her a question or something. And Millie was just sitting at her bed chomping on an apple. And Emily said, hey, where'd you get that apple? We don't have any apples. And Millie said, yeah, we do. Millie ate my

Cosmic Crisp. She had no idea. To her credit, it was just sitting in the fridge by itself in the back. I had hidden it behind stuff, but she found it. I don't remember the day we put it in, but it's got to be at least three or four months old. She ate the entire thing even after I told her, stop, it's not good. She insisted that it was.

She said it was the best tasting apple she has ever eaten in her life and she said it was defined by the by the fact that one half was very sweet and the other half was very sour so she felt like she got two apples in one was it like which side was facing the back of the fridge i assume so i assume it had to be something like that uh but yeah so our i gotta reset the clock we gotta reset the clock i gotta go out and buy a new apple uh because yeah because millie she made our progress can i can i be honest with you about the apple thing yeah i don't think i did that right i just never no you never never did there's a cosmic crisp in my fridge what what it's i found it the other day like behind a bunch of stuff when did i when did i put that in i you

never told us that you did that yeah i don't remember doing it myself we we made fun of the fact that you never tried i ate my apple after a few weeks. You never did it. When would that have been? And I asked Meg about it. I was like, is this yours? And she's like, no, that's your Cosmic Crisp. What?

How old? When? Wow. I have no idea. Can you tell at all? Does it look old? Yeah, it doesn't look great. Oh, that's probably a year do you think it wasn't you could it have been Errol

oh my god so I now I don't know how old is I might have to would you be willing to try it or like cut it open and maybe a bite? Can we get photos of this? Because I feel like this is over a year. It has to. Should I go and take a photo of it now? Yeah. You can. If you want to, we're doing two.

We could do it on the second one. Let's do it next week. A little teaser for the next episode. I can't believe she ate that. That's great. That gives me confidence because I've had some Cosmic Crisps in my fridge for two weeks now, maybe two or three and i had the fun yeah no i kind of had the concern i thought nah they're fine they're gonna last a while now i've

got so much more road to give before i need to worry about those things it's great i'll have to go back and check my photos i think i took a photo the day i put it in to to see the time stamp but it must be three months that's incredibly yeah yeah great app. So, kudos to the Cosmic Crisp. It didn't make it a year, but that only because it looked so delicious, apparently. The hemispheres of flavor is very interesting. I wonder if that's a permanent thing.

Yeah. Or a thing across all the Cosmic Crisps of a year. So, XFL. You're going, you went to it. You did the thing first off first off let me just say it was a crazy sports weekend because the city of austin hosted two nba games one on thursday one on saturday and then i did the san antonio brahmas game on sunday so it was like it was a shitload of sports in a very short amount of time and which is awesome for me because i love

fucking sports right but what i don't like is leaving my house. So that part of it is hard. I took Eric to see the Spurs versus the Trailblazers on Thursday night. What did you think about that game, Eric? It was not good until the fourth quarter where it became such a fun basketball game that the crowd was so into we left going

austin needs to have a team it ruled so hard and and it had the halftime show that i always make a joke about because i've wanted to see it for years and it was real and it happened. It is a small dog who does basketball tricks and it is the best. Halftime shows are really hit and miss because when Jeff went to the other game, it was just a dance crew. I don't big miss that move crew. Yeah. Lame. No offense.

You're great dancers, but I want to see, I want to see a tiny dog do a 360 dunk again. God damn it. The, the, uh, San Antonio Spurs

have like a creature as their mascot and he challenged the small dog to a dunk contest and then the small dog won. It was so cool. He did a 360 dunk.

It was so sick. It was awesome. Wherever you're going, you better believe American Express will be right there with you. Heading for adventure? We'll help you breeze through security. Meeting friends a world away? You can use your travel credit. Squeezing every drop out of the last day? How about a 4 p.m late checkout just need a nice place to settle in enjoy your room upgrade wherever you go we'll go together that's the powerful backing of american express visit amex.ca slash ymx benefits vary by card terms apply uh i i gotta i gotta echo eric's sentiments uh we went to the new arena that was just built in Austin called the

Moody Center and it's not built for NBA games but it housed an NBA game beautifully it already would be one of the best arenas in the NBA and the city of Austin deserves an NBA team god damn it and I'm gonna say

that it's gonna get really annoying because I'm going to say that. It's going to get really annoying because I'm going to say that in every piece of content I record until Austin, Texas gets an NBA team, which will be probably 15 years at the earliest. Anyway, so Saturday, I took Millie to the next game, and it was fine. Minnesota Timberwolves won by like 50 or something. It was ridiculous.

Minnesota Timberwolves won by like 50 or something. It was ridiculous. But Sunday, we went to go see the San Antonio Brahmins. It was me, Emily, Eric, and his small wife. We drove down to San Antonio together to the Alamo Dome, which if you're not familiar, it's a big arena in San Antonio where they have, it's like a cross between an arena and a convention center. Holds 75,000 people.

It did not that day, but it holds up to 75,000 people. And it was the most, I don't even know how to describe it. It was fucking, oh, before I do that, I must say, celebrity sighting at the NBA game on Saturday, we saw A-Rod. He's a part owner in the Minnesota Timberwolves, and he was there sitting courtside. So it was cool to see A-Rod at a game. That's awesome.

Yeah. Oh, he was next to Tony Parker, who was also in attendance, and Emily dubbed it Cheater's Row where they were sitting, which is pretty funny. If you don't know why, Tony Parker is famous for cheating on Eva Longoria with his teammate's wife, causing that teammate to have to get traded,

because Tony Parker was a much better player. And then, of course, A-Rod and drugs. It would suck to get traded because your friend cheated. Yeah, it would suck. It would suck. I may be getting that a little wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's how it shook out. Britt Berry's wife. There you go.

Yeah, of course, Nick knows. Anyway, the Braum's game was awesome. They gave us tickets to this place called the Bullpen, which is essentially an area cordoned off immediately behind the end zone. Yeah, you can see it right there. So we're at player level. Oh, wow.

We just hung out there for a half an hour they had a hot dog maker uh by that i mean like a dude that makes hot dogs and so we had some really good chili dogs and sodas eric had some beers and we just hung out and chilled out and then here's all the photos of us uh and then you know this guy this awesome dude brad who works in the marketing department came and grabbed me. Lovely, lovely gentleman. Shout out to Brad. And he took me around to the tunnel.

And he said, OK, what's going to happen is. And he introduced me to the flag. These three dudes that are flag carriers. And he was like, you're just going to follow these guys out, run with them, run where they go. And then I'll collect you at the end. And he goes and I go, got it. And then he moved on. And then some lady came up and she goes, all right, do you know what you're going to do? And I said, absolutely.

I'm going to run with these three flag guys. I'm going to follow behind them and stay out of their way and just go where they go. And she goes, not at all. You're going to run with the coach who, if you are an NFL fan, you might have heard of Heinz fucking Ward. So I got to run next to Heinz Ward onto the field. I waved my hat. They said my name.

I was so fucking out of it, pumped up and excited and nervous. I didn't even hear them say my name. And then I ran around with Heinz Ward until he walked off the field. I didn't speak to him at all. He looked like he was very focused. He was thinking about plays and shit. But it was an honor to get to be in the same hallway with him. I stood next to all the players.

They're all at least a foot taller than me. And I'm six feet tall. That was wild. They're huge. And then that was it. And then we just went back and watched the game. And oh, I will say Brad told me, it was very sweet of him. He said, hey man, I want to let you know, I tried really hard to get them to introduce you as Jeff from

F*** Face, but they won't do it. I was going to do me rooster teeth*** Face, but they won't do it. That was one of my questions. But I appreciated that he even attempted it. I watched the clip that Emily sent me. I must have watched it six times. You gave it your all. You acted like

that was your full-time job, was to be running out with those guys. You did not hang around. I've never seen you move like that. You just, it looked like you wanted to do a really good job of running out with those guys you did not you did not hang around i've never seen you move like that you just it looked like you wanted to do a really good job of running out i don't fuck around well let me tell you what happened i had it in my head i'm running out with this with heinz ward ex nfl player right but he's fucking old and the kids in front of me are the flag dudes they weren't like athletes or anything and they have these big ass heavy flags. And I thought, I'll just jog out with them. They said, go.

Those dudes took off like they were running the 440 in the NFL combine. And I look over and Hines Ward doesn't give a fuck about me. He is booking it. And I had to kick it into another gear to keep up with them. I was like, what the fuck? Am I being timed? Like, they were hauling ass. And then I realized they don't fuck around

in professional sports. This was no leisurely lap. They were, they meant business. So yeah, I had to give it my all. Did it not make it on TV? No, I don't think so. I never expected it to. It was sad.

Unfortunately, they should have showed that. Instead, they showed Heinz Ward in the middle of the field talking about losing with the other coach. He's like, we're not showed that. Instead, they showed Heinz Ward in the middle of the field talking about losing. With the other coach. He's like, we're not doing good. How do you handle that? Do you have hot dogs? You ate hot dogs before you ran, Jeff?

Because that's more impressive. I had two chili dogs. You had two? That was you on two chili dogs. That was me on two chili dogs and a little pecan sandy dessert thing. Yeah. That is it. I love that you wore the baseball jersey as your attire.

I think that's very funny. I wanted to rep face without putting them in any kind of a weird position. Sure. You know, and so I thought the face baseball jersey was a it doesn't say face on it in a visible way. It just says FF. I thought that was funny.

And then also what's funnier? What's more face than wearing a baseball jersey to a football game? Yeah, it's perfect. It's the right attire. Even though I own Brahma's clothes I could have worn. We should have collab merch. Oh, we should collab with

the... SpaceX Brahma's, yeah. I hadn't even thought about that. We should make it specifically for the people who are on this podcast and occasionally run out xfl2 honestly don zimmer some horns is what i want oh man imagine if he had horns when he ran at pedro he would have been ready if there was a crossover he had the brahmas yeah he was great he would would have won. It was cool to see. I was really thrilled. It was so cool to be in the bullpen.

Jeff got kind of whisked away, and then we were standing there going, oh my God, he's going to do it, he's going to do it, and he did it. And it was so awesome to see that happen right in front of us. And then when Jeff came back, they were in the middle of the national anthem, and Jeff turned the corner and heard that the national anthem was playing. And I watched the army kick in, like, within him. He stood. I've never seen Jeff stand up more straight and tall and, like, hand over the heart.

It was immediate. And then it ended. And he walked back over. And he's like, hey, what's up? It was so, man, that was beat into you. That was crazy. What am I supposed to do at American sports games as a Brit? Am I supposed to stand for that or is that treason?

No, it's not treason. You don't have to put your hand over your heart because that's like a pledge, but you can just stand respectfully. That's what I would do. Yeah, I think that's what I did. I just stood there, but without my hand. Yeah. You know, as an ex-soldier you know it's kind of sad in the olden days when i was in the military and uh i was in uniform um

i had to salute the flag uh anytime i was within i think six feet of it i had to salute it if it was moving um so like if the flag bearers were like walking through a parking lot and i was within like six feet of it i'd have to stop and salute and maybe 10 could you just take a wide berth no I was uh no no I wasn't trying to avoid so okay uh I was actually you know for all the all the silliness and nonsense aside I'm a fairly patriotic I was pretty proud of my five years in the United States Army uh feel pretty good about that uh and uh pretty. I love America. It's got some issues. But so I actually kind of felt like it was an honor to be able to salute the flag.

And when I got out of the military, I lost that right. Yeah. I don't wear a uniform anymore. I'm not allowed to salute out of uniform. And so I can only put my hand over my heart. And it always makes me a little sad that I can't salute the flag anymore. Oh, wow. I mean, I guess I could.

I guess I fucking could. But it would be against like UC sad that I can't salute the flag anymore. You can't? I mean I guess I could. I guess I fucking could but it would be against like UCMJ protocol which just doesn't matter but it's just like it is what it is. You're not allowed to salute out of uniform? You're not supposed to salute out of uniform yeah or at least you weren't supposed to back when I was in the army things could change but I doubt it

I think I've heard that. I've never heard that that's crazy. Yeah so I no longer do it. And, uh, and it was just a bummer because I had one of the, not to brag, but I'm going to,

I had one of the best salutes in the entire army, I think. I was so fucking, I used to practice. Yeah. The entire time I was in the army, I would,

I would practice my salutes. It'd be Wolverine claws, one hand salute, the other hand. Just like I, just like I have, you know, cause I'm around tons of dudes i uh i have a perfect perfectly straight salute arm from tip

of my finger to my elbow it's it's a perfect wedge you can't beat it it's most people a lot of people can't get their hand and their arm and their wrist as straight as i can and so i always felt like i was like a bit of a soup i was a bit of a super uh a bit of a superstar when it came to saluting. Super saluter. Did we ever put out a video of you and Dan having a salute off? Because Dan salutes. I don't think we should.

Dan in the British RV has a different salute. I think the hand is backwards. Yeah, it looks... Yeah. I think... Well, listen. I think it probably came out as a happy hour or something years and years ago. I wouldn't go back and look at it. It probably doesn't hold up.

It might be a little offensive in 2023. Who knows? Well. We were all drinking back then. We were all friends. Yeah. So anyway, it was awesome. The Brahmas were awesome.

Unfortunately, they succumbed to Houston in overtime. But it was also an overtime game. It was only the second overtime game this year. It was fucking cool. It was a crazy ending. Phenomenal. I saw the last quarter. So kind of the Brahmins to reach out to us

and to do that and offer us that opportunity. It was really, really, really, really, really cool. I really appreciate it. It was great. The content that came out of it, I think, was really funny. Who filmed the instagram video because they did an amazing job it was perfect camera work probably emily well emily did fantastic just the way it was staged of like the screen and then seeing you run by and then

the ending is so perfect of eric turning around cheering being so genuinely happy about what's happening it was great it's a great video i'm so glad she did too because it was all such a blur to me i didn't really experience it it was like over before it started you know what i mean it would have been funny to see you with a gopro it's behind heinz word chasing maybe we should maybe we should put it up on youtube or something i don't know did we put it we did we put it on social media though it's on instagram yeah people want to see it okay it might be other places. I don't know. I tried to post a GIF, but I don't think it worked.

Yeah? What about, well, the Nitro? Do we want to get Nitro? Has that happened yet? Has that shifted? It has. Oh, there's the GIF. Oh, it's the salute? What am I looking at here?

This is a salute that I think is better than Jeff's. It's the Arnold Rimmer salute. Oh, it's not the whole thing. It's some of it. Maybe the best salute on television from Red Dwarf. That's better than Jeff's. It's the Arnold Rimmer salute. Oh, it's not the whole thing. It's some of it. But maybe the best salute on television from Red Dwarf. That's a pretty good salute. I don't know that I can compete with that salute. That's a tough one.

I like that you practiced. I appreciate it. You put an effort in. How often would you say you practiced doing that? How much time do you think you invested into having the perfect salute? So you practice doing that. How much time do you think you invested into having the perfect salute? Oh, not often.

Not much. Not often. Yeah. Maybe when you're getting ready in the morning in the mirror, you're like, do I still got it? Yeah. It's like maybe maybe throw a couple three or four extra salutes a day in front of the mirror just just to make sure you're you're on point, as they i have a question for gavin unrelated to all this i feel like you've already covered this but it's strange i haven't my notes you said at the end of the last episode

i revealed my icing uh a bag thing as a thing that i didn't realize was weird till i stepped away from it you said you'd have one this week do you have one cap so what was what was the the task you're gonna find out something that's the task was something that you do that's part of your routine that's weird but you didn't you don't really realize it's weird until like you take a step back and you realize i almost throw up every time i brush my teeth i gag maybe four to five times every morning over the sink. And I'm just, sometimes, if I get a bad day, sometimes like the second my tongue touches the toothbrush, I'm like, and I just have the most,

the loudest screaming into the sink in an echoey bathroom. I don't know how Meg puts up with it. I'm just like. Emily does the same fucking thing. Like, I have to leave the room when she's brushing her teeth because it's gross

to listen to because she gags. I've seen her, I haven't seen, I've heard her throw up from brushing her teeth. I've thrown up, I throw up maybe

once every three months from brushing my teeth, but it's not like a full boat. It's just like, I'll just go like, and like a half a cup of liquid will fly out. And it's awful.

And, and I talked about this on the, on probably in a let's play years ago, and it doesn't happen to me anymore. Cause I live in Austin, but when I used to live in England, the second I would leave the house on a cold morning, I would gag.

Something about the cold air, like coming from a warm house i would just open the door the cold air would hit me in the face and in the middle of just like imagine it like a suburbia movie i'm just like opening my door and closing it behind me and then going and then walking to school what an eventful walk to school for you. This is the walking to school episode. Maybe that was the transitional moment between me and Errol. Yeah, I was about to say, I love that you didn't put any of that on a character. That's just you. You're owning that.

That's just me becoming Errol. That's like your body fighting as Errol takes over. So temperature change, brushing your teeth is there anything else that just randomly causes get like obviously you have you have other triggers but i mean like in that way that's not sometimes sometimes if the ac has been blasting and i get out of like a hot bath or shower i'll get hit with the same coldness and i'll gag it i'll gag as well usually as i'm reaching for my towel i'll throw i'll just gag again my god do you ever gag when you're blowing dan what what what when you're when you're giving blow jobs to dan do you ever gag your silence it tells me the answer is yes

i'm stunned it'd be a great time for errol to show up all right well that's a that was a yes for Gavin. What's next? A yes or a no and like a wondering why. Why in that environment? So temperature? Temperature causes you to gag? Yeah, I think so. Not sure why.

But I think that's something that is pretty regular for me and is pretty abnormal. But I'm just used to it. I have friends. I have like two friends that when they step outside from inside and it's sunny out they'll sneeze is it like that do you do you step outside and gag yeah i mean if it's cold yeah definitely do you ever gag from cold food like a like a popsicle no what if you have like minty gum that's like really fresh no it doesn it doesn't do it. Maybe if I inhaled, if I put a popsicle in a mug or a thermos and I just sucked it, maybe if I just opened it and huffed it like because you saw Eric on New Year's Eve, I couldn't

even be around my cold drink that day. But I think that was the bubbles from the ginger beer. So sudden temperature change can cause this like going from a hot to cold or cold to hot is it both ways or is it just one way it's just hot to cold hot to cold huh i wonder if we could trigger this in some way have you ever tried to go cold to hot uh well yeah every time i leave the house here yeah it okay there was something you're gonna do in the next episode what was it you're gonna get something for the apple oh right okay so you're gonna try the apple can you also get a mug and fill it with ice and see if we can trigger your gang for the next episode also and we're just doing like experiments on you is that yeah okay yeah okay I'm just imagining

him being like strapping 20 ice packs to him in a porta potty and then having him step out into the sun after like three minutes if he just starts gay I feel like it's easier to go from being cold to hot than hot to cold like simulating

that maybe before we do this to strumming or whatever we just fill that thing with ice. And I'll just walk in there and you can see if you hear the gags. Mmm. You just want, like, raw ice? What do you... I love the idea of filling the toilet

with ice. It's just ice cubes coming out. Would it make it cold in there? Probably would. It would reduce temperature. I'd certainly assume. I don't know if it would be cold enough. I don't know what the temperature range is required for you to gag. What the minimum shift is. I would say fill it with dry ice, but I think

I would die. Yeah, no, that would be, yeah, that would not work. Yeah, it'd be like you sitting in your office when the cats breathe all over you. It'd be a smaller space. It'd be like 20 sitting in your office when the cats breathe all over you. It'd be a smaller space. It'd be like 20 cats in a port point. God, this is a real freak show. This is weird.

And we have one more. This might be weirder than all the foot shit you were trying to put on me. Oh, man. Who's trying? I think we gotta try. We gotta try it. When is the fish thing supposed to arrive?

It should be here in the next couple weeks. It has to ship from the UK, and genuinely, I don't know how UK shipping goes right now with COVID stuff, so I'm just waiting. That's fair. Are we gonna do smelling salts as well? Should we have a range of things for him to try? Man, we're really gonna beat the shit out of Jeff, huh? Yeah, we do smelling salts as well? Should we have like a range of things for him to try? Man, we're really going to beat the shit out of Jeff, huh? Yeah, we can get smelling salts.

Some smelling salts, I feel like, I don't know if that would be worse or better than what you've described. It's like back in high, I'm in high school all over again, just people beating the shit out of me all day long. Like say you're in there and we crack the can and we throw it in there with you.

How long realistically do you think you're going to be stood in there? I mean, if my flaps work the way I think they do, I could stay in there indefinitely. We'll find out. Is there a Guinness World Record for the longest? Can we get Guinness involved? I mean, we could, right?

But it's just, that's the whole thing. You have to pay them. They have to fly out. Yeah, I don't think they're going to give a fuck. But yeah, I can try. Why do they give a shit about anything else because they're getting paid they're like we pay for it it's expensive we looked into this a few years ago i wanted to do a show where we break guinness records uh like dumb guinness records that are easy to break and it's like 10 grand to get one of those guinness guys out there yeah it's not that at least it was back then that's that's pre-covid i feel like it would be more now yeah it might be

more now yeah wow we could see huh yeah i mean it's worth exploring i want to i want to send you guys a photo somebody sent this into the face instagram and i want to see see if you guys notice anything funny about this photo okay so jeff is has just a photo of, it's a photo of sloppy Joe's. You can finally see what the camera looks like. Oh, so that's what the audience sees. Well, like when they're walking down the street and they see a sloppy Joe's

camera and they react to it, that's what they're looking at. And I was like, Oh cool. It's cool to finally see it. And then I noticed something that made me laugh for about an hour straight. And I want to see if you guys notice it.

Okay. Uh, there's a mic above it. That's what it it is that's the fucking audio mic from the camera they just have an xlr hooked up to a fucking like a band mic and it's hanging from it's hanging from a pole in the roof which is why sometimes when it's making a noise I realize it's just windy and the mic is just hitting against the wall back and forth. Look at that fucking setup. That's almost more professional than I expect. It's a professional mic, right?

I mean, it's the same mic the bands are using inside, I guess. Wouldn't you want more of a shotgun, though, for it to be pointed in front of the camera? Yeah, there's a lot that you could want more of i don't think they give a fuck i think i think they went we pointed the camera you got it everything i learned about sloppy joes is more fascinating than the last thing i learned it's really the fact that that is their that is their setup is fantastic to me crazy that's all do you have any interest in actually going to sloppy joes at this point? I apologize if we talked about this, but you've become

so invested in the exterior. Do you care at all about going to the physical place? Yeah, I would like to. I would like to bring a little launcher and sit under the camera and just experience it firsthand. I'm sure at some point

we will go check it out maybe if you're saying their setup isn't the most ideal you could initiate some sort of trade with the sloppy joes people could be great for the museum maybe a future item i don't imagine this will fit before this upcoming rtx but the idea of having the sloppy jo's mic is such a weird collectible. It is. That is interesting. Like maybe if they upgrade, I could. Oh, yeah, that's great. That's a good idea.

It would be good for the museum. Speaking of the museum, I think it's been announced, but we're doing a face museum of oddities and things that are things at RTX. And so if you go to RTX in Austin this year, which is, I don't know, sometime in July, I think, Eric, you probably have dates. July 7th through 9th. Tickets available at rtxaustin.com. You can go check out the actual F*** Face Museum,

our first version of it. You know, I talked about this about a year ago, about wanting to take it on the road and do Ripken's Believe It, because why not? And it's essentially going to be the first version of that. Oh, Ripken, that's that's funny like Ripley Ripken yeah yeah I got it no I got it as soon as I said I'm an idiot but that's very funny

it's also we mentioned that like a year ago yeah well now we're doing it yeah no I mean just for Andrew getting the joke yeah no I forgot it I forgot the joke then I thought Jeff flubbed then as I was correcting I realized I'm an idiot.

That's a really funny joke. And there's no way. The plane was, I couldn't reverse it. We're locked in. I just had to crash. So we'll be doing that. We'll have a lot of weird stuff. You can see like the baseball bat where Jeff signed all the baseballs with it.

And maybe owl, owl and puss, puss. Like there's a lot happening. And, and. face rock yeah yes and face rock thing that must be seen to be believed you can see it come see you you know what yep it is you know exactly what it is so come see it ultimate thing can i can i pitch a completely impractical idea that uh would be in my head funny for rtx but it almost certainly won't happen oh please do it's not it's not too late in the game at all no this is timely it would be great if we had a giant canvas because you have jeff's bat that like he did all the autographs with right if we had a giant canvas that people could dip the bat into paint and then swing and paint a canvas of the swings, the bat swings, because a lot of paint flies off that bat. Could do essentially other people's attempts at Jeff's signature on this giant canvas.

Two stations, one green, one purple. Yeah, even better. There you go. An idea that you will not see at RTX. Yeah, I'll definitely get that set up at RTX for sure. We'll use latex interior house paint. Yeah, let me go talk to the convention center. Yeah, so we want people to swing bats,

but it's not to hit anything. It's just so paint flies everywhere. You guys are cool with that, right? Well, you could do like a Dexter kill room and they step into it and they swing a bat with paint. It's perfect. It's easy. A face kill room and they step into it and they swing a bat with paint and it's perfect. It's easy.

F*** face kill room. A f*** face Dexter kill room. Great, man. You might be able to see Errol. Wait, what does that mean? Is it just a photo of... You just opened up a whole set of questions.

Are there photos of Errol that aren't you? No, the mud in the tombstone. Okay, I see. I was thinking that you taking it like you might physically be a little bit different in some way in these characters. You walk with a slightly different gait. You like have a toothpick. He's just got a little bit of a smirk. You know he's about to be cheeky.

Oh yeah. Then I walk over to the, uh, artsy store booth. I gag and I start knocking all the shit off the shelves. It's cold over here. There's a, there's a pretty good chance you might even get to see my PS5 footstool that I use when I'm recording.

There's all kinds of stuff. It's very exciting. Oh, by the time this is out, uh, my PS5 footstool that I use when I'm recording. There's all kinds of stuff we could put on there. It's very exciting. Oh, by the time this is out, all of Does It Do will have come out. Yes, that is correct. That's true. So go back and re-watch it.

If you haven't seen them, you can see seven total episodes? Yes, that's right. Oh, and the Hall of Do will probably be in the museum as well, actually, thanks for showing it up. We do have some new merch coming out. I know we need to wrap up, but I want to let people know that do have some new merch coming out i know we need to wrap up

but i want to let people know that we have some new stuff coming out we will have a uh protected by falcon sign and and we will also have a i we've never done it before a face vinyl an episode i'm so excited on vinyl uh I think we're looking at that coming out. Gosh, I think like early June, late may, something like that. So,

uh, follow us at face pod on Instagram and on Twitter, and we'll keep you updated on those things. Uh, there's a lot going on. And by vinyl, he means vinyl record. Yes.

It is a vinyl record. It is the whole episode pressed. I've heard it. I've listened to the whole thing. It is the episode and it is on vinyl. You listen to it on the vinyl? Am I what? Like you listen to the actual record or you listen to the file? No, no. I have the

vinyl record at my house. I had to listen to it to proof it. Yeah. I'll even say this. That vinyl record that Eric has has made an appearance in a few pieces of content in the back as an Easter egg and nobody's noticed it. But it's been appearance in a few pieces of content in the back as an Easter egg, and nobody's noticed it. Nope.

But it's been on camera a few times. It's in the background of a couple social things for a couple different things around. So it's really awesome. I can't believe we made it. It's real, and it's crazy. Took about two years to make, but we did it. And by we, Nick. Nick did most of the work.

Yeah. Nick and Ecom. Oh, we'll also have Gerplers. It's pretty exciting. We'll also have Gerplers soon. Great. So there'll be some stuff, blind boxy kind of stuff going on.

So you can, we'll have an update on that stuff soon at F*** Face Pod on Instagram and on Twitter. You can stay up to date with everything. But we do need to wrap this one up. I'm very sorry. We're just on a little bit of a time crunch. Will there be any Golden GURPS RTX?

Man, that's a good question. Let me see what I can... What if one was inserted into the store? Gavin, they're so limited. I don't know. They're so limited. We can try. They're so limited. Let me see what I can do. Let me see what I can get, and then we'll go. Are they, they're selling before

the event, right? They are. That is correct. It would be cool, if you get a Golden Gurp and you're going to RTX, there should be a thing where if you, you could like show that you had it, and that gets you something. I don't know. I'll tell you what, I'll tell you what, if you show me your Golden Grurpler

at RTX on the floor, I will walk you over to the store and give you free merchandise. Wow. How about that? And you'll pull out the claws one more time. Maybe I'll put a little snicked snicked. You never know. All right.

There you go. That's an episode of face in the can. 151. We did it. Thanks to Pat Gavindale Face in the can. 151. We did it. Thanks to Pat Gavindale. Thanks to Raymond Sommare. Thanks to Jeffrey Paul Wright and the other two.
