This is a Rooster Teeth production. Okay, so it looks like we're all good all around. So we're on a different Discord channel, and Andrew has asked myself and Nick to join him for something. Got a secret weekend message from Andrew about what this is. So Andrew, why do you need us right now? So, we're day one of the food bet. As you know, our last recording on Thursday,

we drew the numbers, we set the things, and I was talking to Gavin that evening while playing Halo, and I said to Gavin, what percentage of the audience do you think will believe that I somehow rigged the bingo machine to give me a very favorable letter? Because P, I think, is probably the easiest. I haven't gone through it all, but just on surface level, I think it's the easiest. And which Gavin said, well, you did film it, so you're okay. I thought, yeah, you're right. I did record it.

What I did learn, though, much like we make fun of Jeff's ability to take photos, I should never be allowed to film a video for this show ever again. I'm going to post in our Slack channel. I was having a late night bath. I was like, you know what? I'm going to look at the video I filmed to prove that I drew the number that I did. Posting it in the Slack right now. Please watch it and react to it.

Okay. Nick, I'm going to hit play in three, two, one. Going for the third one. Okay. So I'm looking. You have seven and 21. Gavin and Jeff's number. Got it.

It's so loud, by the way. It's so loud. It's incredibly incredibly loud my finger is in the frame okay you do you have the numbers in the frame it's very it's a fine looking video the number comes oh come on that's it wait the number that's it the number rolled out you didn't film it the video cut well the number did roll out the problem is i filmed it bounced out of the shoot and the number is facing the wall the entire time it bounces out i will post this is the best i've scrolled through so many times this is the best look at the number

that i have from the video this is what we have to work with i have asked several people to guess the number i have gotten zero success out of one person it took them seven guesses oh to get it so this is this is the dilemma i'm in i was heartbroken when i saw that video for i just went oh no i've salad cream this so hard this is worse than any photo jeff has taken in a video form. What do I do? I don't know what you do because I did a recording with Jeff this morning and I said, how's your food going so far? And he groaned and said that he went grocery shopping, bought a lot of things that he thinks start with you. There's, I'm sure that's going to be a whole thing but um he's convinced that you and gavin are in a prank and pulling a fast one on him i'm letting you know now because that is

what he is sure is happening so that's why i want to talk to both of you about it i didn't want to talk to them because they're in competition with me right now for this bet you two are i feel like are the closest we have to a neutral party that could also kind of make a ruling what would you do in my position with everything yeah well here's the thing i would never be in your position yeah no that's fair that's totally fair yeah like okay let me just me explain. So this is what happened. One of the reasons why the video is so bad is because the surface of the bingo machine is reflective. And I recorded in my underwear yesterday.

Or last time we did it. I did not want to appear in my underwear on the video. So that's why it's so low. It's to the least reflective part of the machine. And I am standing technically in my bathroom stretched out to get the thing i did not i as soon as it bounced out the shoot i didn't want to film the entirety of my room so i canceled it i didn't realize that i didn't capture it in frame at all because it sat on the upper part before falling for a little bit it wasn't until i watched

the video i realized oh this is a problem this is really not good this proves nothing yeah no um i just i don't even know i don't what can you say i don't know could we is there is there like, you know, in CSI, they enhanced the, can we do that? Do we know? I don't think that technology is real. So you think, so you showed this to a bunch of people and nobody guessed. I've shown it to. Nobody guessed your letter. Three or four.

And one person eventually got, I didn't say you were wrong to the person. I just let them keep guessing. Took them about five. They eventually got to 16. I've got a lot of 18. Yeah, okay. That's exactly what it looks like. Once you know it's between one and 26,

people generally say like an 18. It looks like because the six is in motion. Yes, 100% looks like it. The six is in motion. So it looks like an eight. I think if you know it's 16 and you look at it, you can see the 16, but without the context of it um i think i'm

gonna get killed no matter what i think i think you're absolutely i think gavin will let you live i think jeff is going to be furious oh absolutely i don't know another way out of it other than than refilming but I don't want to lose P I got P if I got any other letter I'd just be like I'll do it again but I got P I don't want to screw myself out of P I agree I don't think I think you have to stick

with P I don't know what you can do I think you just have to hold to your bet and then wait for them to see I agree I think you just have to hold to your bet and then wait for them to see i agree i i think you just have to wait for them to see that you did not quite capture it on video and you have to take your lumps all right yeah this may be of course it happened this way it might this might be my get out of greg freach card this might have to be played here depending on how it goes you definitely might have to play see here's the thing i it goes. You might have to play. You definitely might have to play.

See, here's the thing. I don't think Gavin is going to hold your feet to the fire that hard. I agree. Because he got an okay letter. Yes. I think this might, I think Jeff is so upset with his letter.

Totally. I was complaining to Gus about it this morning. Because he's so upset that his bet went this wrong and it just it almost adds to the suspicion of it all because we all got perfect letters in a sense of gavin gets a g jeff specifically talks about in in like an extended way how bad it would be to get you in the episode that just released and I specifically mentioned how great pee would be I'd love

pee and I pull it so it's just like everything lines up that this would be somehow staged and my evidence that it isn't is dreadful yeah this might be the most I've salad creamed anything I agree you might you

might be boned and you might just have to take your lumps on this one bud you might be done for it's one so this is sort of my thought if they're upset which i assume jeff definitely will be i either because i feel like it's undeniably a one in the front of it because it has to be one to 26 it's not a two and then it becomes a 16 or an 18. I'd be willing to do another week where I do R if people think it's an R instead of a P with the 18 or a redraw. I think both things

would be fair. I think that you could present that to them, but only when it gets to dire straits. Yes, I agree. When you have to throw yourself upon the mercy of the court. I think I would argue if they want me to redraw, then we all have to do another week if we're doing a redraw. Oh, I don't know. I don't think Jeff will do that.

I think no shell shots. Maybe if he gets to take the P. Yep. Just automatically. That's a tough one. Yeah. So I just want it. I want to hear your thoughts.

I want to see how screwed you thought I was. I don't know where this will fit. If this is in an episode, if this is you thought I was. I don't know where this will fit. If this is in an episode, if this is a side weird thing, I don't know, but I just wanted to have this talk since you both are sort of neutral. I would say decision makers in this process. Nick,

what do you think should happen? Oh man, I think we should extend in another week and you should either. I honestly, the R is not a bad way to go because the 18 does seem to be the thing here but I'm willing to bet that Jeff will be the one to decide this and he's going to make you he's going to make you put

the you back in there and redo the whole thing that I'm going to have to agree with Nick I don't think Jeff wants to do another week however he might force you to do another draw with the you in it. I do think that that is probably what's going to happen.

We'll see. I just wanted this on record. I want to have a conversation about the issues, the salad creaming that occurred. And I'm excited to see what their reaction will be on Thursday when we record. And I'm sure I will show them the video and discuss this as well I think that this should go out as an independent piece that goes out like right before

the actual podcast like this needs to come out after we do the draw yes but before the like you guys talking about what you ate because I'm so curious should I post the photo of the ball in motion on like thursday or wednesday i guess wednesday when it comes out publicly and

just ask what people see so yeah okay oh man i don't want to spoil anything i just want to see no no i yeah no i know and i don't think you will also, this might be a real way where people will see if it's 16. Like, if people see 16 a bunch of times, then maybe you can get off scot-free. But also, I don't foresee that happening. You should put the picture all the way upside down and see if they see 21. Yeah, really. Oh, man. Well, there you go.

I guess we'll have to see what Gavin and Jeff say because I'm excited to find out as you said I don't think Gavin will be upset Jeff is going to want to kill me Jeff is going to want to kill you thank you so much for your guys' ruling I'm excited to see how it goes on Thursday me too alright good luck
