This is a Rooster Teeth production. hello and welcome to the spanky dandy old men can't say bro let's not argue about the moon landing podcast my name is jeff ramsey welcome to you the audience your name is whatever the fuck it is also with me me, Andrew and Gavin. This is episode 91.
Starting point is 00:00:47 That came through my speakers for some reason. Did it? How else do you get it? Spanky Danky is his name. Spanky Danky. So I was directionally correct. I was close. Spanky Danky.
Starting point is 00:00:57 What you get there, audience, in that intro, and also Gavin, because of course he wasn't here, that is a recap of this episode's pleasantries. Couldn't bring you along for the pleasantries, but wanted to give you a little nugget of what it was, because it was a wild ride for the seven minutes I was involved in. It had already been going for a bit. So when did the pleasantries start with Andrew? Like 20 minutes ago?
Starting point is 00:01:18 No, well, listen, I showed up 15 minutes ago. Everybody else showed up 10 minutes, I'd say. I showed up maybe, they were going. i when i clicked in they were there was a laughter and nick was like this is already off the rails and based on last week's pleasantries i decided not to attend this week's pleasantries on the grounds that they're worthless you missed a lot we heard about two old men who tried to one-up each other in a a Walmart about whether they were both directly involved with either the moon landing or the covering up of the moon landing. We learned about Spanky Dandy, the hottest new rapper. What about this, Gavin?
Starting point is 00:01:55 Next week, next time we record, whatever that is, I will not show up until one and you can show up 10 minutes early and you can have the pleasantries experience. Why don't we just all turn up at the same time and record it all for the audience to listen to all of because the pleasantries are a great part that I hate the mess. They really love the play. You have you came up in the pleasantries. We told we
Starting point is 00:02:15 regaled your Bob Vila Go-Gurt experience. Oh, yeah, we talked about that a bit. We discovered that the Venn diagram of people who make a Logan's run reference and say bro is me. We surveyed. This is a jam-packed seven minutes. I'll be honest.
Starting point is 00:02:34 This week's pleasantries sounded better than last week's. Well, I think the problem is when you get here, we just end up starting the show. So there are no pleasantries. It just immediately goes in. So that's why it's offering. So what you're saying is it's physically impossible for me to attend pleasantries if i'm the last to join i think the last person who joins whoever that is doesn't get to partake in the place all right so next week you're out so i'm out i'm willing to step out for pleasantries and
Starting point is 00:02:59 i welcome you to get in 10 minutes early i agree with nick there was less pressure on these pleasantries this week last week week, there was a lot of pleasantry pressure. That's a good point. I think you just need to naturally show. My power might go off. Yeah. You having a rough day, huh, buddy? Yeah. Got booted from a GTA video I was in earlier
Starting point is 00:03:17 because my power went off and it could happen again today. Well, it's still today. I mean, now. We're in the midst of another snowstorm in austin so the entire state has shut down things are fine on my house though bit warmer this year though yeah well last time was a historic cold right yeah it's only minus three today which is definitely enough to grind the whole of texas to a halt but last year it was like minus 16 or something yeah it's pretty sucky it's gonna going to continue to get colder, though.
Starting point is 00:03:45 It's going to be even colder tomorrow, I hear. Ow. Nick said, is this Gavin's Print the Law episode? Too soon to tell, but quite possibly. Quite possibly. Do you have a generator, Gavin? I've got batteries. Well, what does that mean?
Starting point is 00:03:58 What do you mean batteries? I got fucking batteries. I don't know what that means. What do you mean? Your batteries explode jeff has batteries yeah i'm not talking about just double a i've got like large block like camping batteries he's got his garage is full of ac delco car batteries just in case i got all these double i got a million fucking double as i'm ready it's like having a generator
Starting point is 00:04:24 but it doesn't last as long, but I don't have to put petrol in it. That's fair. What do you, okay, so let's say you lose power and you got to use, what's the first item that's getting hooked up? Is it the fridge? What are you protecting? The internet.
Starting point is 00:04:37 That's number one for you. How many of the batteries do you have? What are we working with here? Eight. Eight, okay, that's pretty good. I use them for like filming in the quarry typically, but comes in handy when all the power's off well i mean i just turn on the internet we like ration the internet mainly because it's nice to you know hear updates about the world and uh yes maybe quickly grab some content to watch with dinner for your crippling
Starting point is 00:05:00 porn addiction right uh yeah i can't imagine like pre-downloading porn why was it like the 2000s that would be really extreme not like i i need i need to pleasure myself now but i'm gonna do it later imagine scheduling that i'm not i'm not horny now, but I'll get it down. In case of horny, break glass. I did not think that throwaway joke was going to result in so much funny. That's awesome, Gavin. I don't remember if we talked about it in a recording or if it was outside of the fact, but Gavin shared his battery holder thing at some
Starting point is 00:05:45 point where it's like i'm just imagining that for like porn hard drives it's like categorized he's got different things i love the idea of just he's putting on a little usb stick a few porn videos that you've never seen before that you know that you need offline in case your raid goes down i like the idea of you having to pick between like porn or your fridge like you've got one more battery I think I'm gonna do that I think I'm gonna cut a little hole in my wall and put in like a
Starting point is 00:06:15 emergency porn glass well wait what if you get one of those fridges that have like a screen in the front you can be a double threat you can just throw your porn to the front of the fridge wanking while you're facing your fridge is a bit weird in the middle, you can be a double threat. You can just throw your porn to the front of the fridge. Wanking while you're facing your fridge is a bit weird in the middle of the game. I think having a fucking porn stash
Starting point is 00:06:30 in case that a storm takes out your powers would have gone beyond the realm of normalcy. That's just an area where the digital world has kind of screwed us because back in the day people would resort to magazines which are available offline. Or VHS.
Starting point is 00:06:44 Can I get a porn mag at a store like i don't think does playboy stop publishing right they don't make magazines anymore i don't think i think that they started again maybe but there are other porn companies that still make magazines i believe it's such an interesting line of thought of being like i'm horny i gotta go to the 7-eleven dude it used to be imagine if you were like imagine if you were like, I don't want to look at a picture of people fuck, but I would like to watch a video of it. You'd had to go to the other side of town to a disgusting dark building
Starting point is 00:07:12 and then stare at the ground for 20 minutes while you try to find your flavor of porn in a porn theater, knowing in the back there were dudes beating off in little cubicles. The world has changed for the better rapidly. I don't understand those theaters, though. Like, people would go in and not wank?
Starting point is 00:07:28 Is that the point of them? What do you mean? Like, it was always a big deal when people got caught monkeying off in a... You're talking like Pee Wee Herman? Yeah. Is that what we're talking about? I don't want to name names, but yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:37 He was in a movie theater, and I also think that that turned out to be sort of... He sort of got fucked over by that. Like, that turned out not to be... Like, that turned out to be misreported in some way, believe oh was it like a richard gear jubble situation no i think there was something to it but i think i i don't know i don't know the story but i think it wasn't as nefarious as it seemed however what's his face from uh from all the christopher guest movies i think his was legit who who is that fred willard oh r.i.p yeah he's great. Did he have one of those?
Starting point is 00:08:05 Yeah, he got busted jacking off in a theater like in his 70s. Oh. This is kind of funny, depending on the context. Yeah. I guess it really depends on the theater and what was playing for my level of okay with. The weirdest thing is it was a mighty wind. He was jacking off to his own shows. He saw Bob Balaban,
Starting point is 00:08:25 whoever his name is. I agree. I don't know. I don't know what the point. It's just like a weird thing. Do people, do you think people have recorded like bootleg?
Starting point is 00:08:38 Imagine like bootleg theater porn as opposed to like when people would like illegally film movies. Have you ever watched somebody illegally film something in a movie theater before no no i remember one time i was at the show and it was like i don't remember what the movie was but i've been out a long time and it was just me and this one guy in the theater and he pulled out a fucking tripod and he put a camera on a tripod at
Starting point is 00:09:00 the back of the theater this guy's's wild! Did he get caught? No, I don't know what he was there for. He left shortly after, but he pulled a tripod out, and I was like, this is fucking ridiculous. Like, the level of confidence. What if he just had one of those things that people put on tripods to see if they're like architect people. They have like levels on them and stuff.
Starting point is 00:09:22 They're levels. For survey equipment? Yeah. Yeah, I just see them all the time. I have no idea what they're doing, ever. I don't know. It's possible he worked for the theater. I don't even remember if I saw a camera,
Starting point is 00:09:33 but he had a tripod. And I just thought this is ridiculous. Like to bring in the confidence of bringing in a tripod is impressive to me. I love that level of not caring. The world has changed a lot since those days. It has. I'd like to see somebody in there with a boom mic like i mean isn't this essentially an entire episode of seinfeld when
Starting point is 00:09:52 kramer got caught up in uh pirating movies and is it uh it was death blow was the movie they were they're trying to that's a great fake movie name death blow yeah yeah what's the one in twilight that's another great fake movie it's like killer punch did you hear that someone did someone text me what the fuck was that i'm gonna put my phone on silent sorry that was odd jesus christ that's awesome have we talked have you talked about what's what's happened to you andrew uh what what well what do you mean in the pleasantries in the last week yeah well i mean that was a strange pivot because i felt like you were talking about the text thing which i definitely have talked about well yeah we
Starting point is 00:10:40 already talked about that what we haven't talked about is how you're basically disabled this week no well you know what the worst part of that whole experience is is that there's nothing all that entertaining about anything that happened i was genuinely mad that well i had to go to the hospital unexpectedly because i had a foot issue and typically my ankle foot things heal at about a week and it was not healing so i was like i think i need to finally get this checked out so i did the problem is i live up like the the most ridiculous 12 staircase setup and i couldn't go ahead i was gonna say i feel like gavin and i were very supportive of you in that moment throwing out lots of options for ways to get down the stairs i don't remember if g made a suggestion. Jeff suggested I sled down it like jackass.
Starting point is 00:11:27 Well, because you sent us a picture of a flight of stairs. And then you said something like, I have to do that four times. Yes. It's a lot. It's a lot of stairs. So I wheeled out. I called an ambulance that came and they evaluated. I explained the situation.
Starting point is 00:11:43 I think the funniest part of that. Well, there are two parts of it that were funny. One, I've been reluctant. I think it's partially like an anxiety thing of not wanting to get checked out and also feeling like, oh, I'm not like dying. I don't think so. I'm fine. It heals in a week, like whatever. No big deal. So when we're going over like all the different things, the guy's like, are you taking any Advil or Tylenol or whatever? And I was like, yeah, I'm taking quite a bit right now to manage it. Yeah. And he's like, well, are you do you have any side effects from that?
Starting point is 00:12:11 And I'm like, no, you know, my stomach has been burning a little bit because of it. And I know that could be a byproduct of using those in large, large quantities. But outside of that, I'm doing pretty good. He's like any shit or any shit in your blood. Great flub, Andrew. Any blood. He's like any shit or any shit your blood great flub Andrew any blood He asked any blood in your shit essentially and I was like no good there no problems there He's like okay good cuz if that if you had that that's when you really want to get checked out I was quietly like shit
Starting point is 00:12:39 Like yeah So we get through that and then they're like like okay we've looked at your foot with it we have this these issues with it they're like we think you should get checked out i think it would make sense for us to take you to the hospital we're gonna do that now we just need to figure out like the best way to accomplish this because you can't walk at all and your stairs are ridiculously narrow and long and twisty so that in your house at this point they're in my house yeah it's two guys how hard was it for them to find your house? Did they have to follow the McDonald's guy?
Starting point is 00:13:09 They had to, yeah. They had to call the McDonald's guy. They had to be waved out. It's a whole ordeal. But they get there, and they're like, we're going to need to call, we're going to call the fire department,
Starting point is 00:13:19 essentially, to figure out, get more muscle. They have other tools. We'll collaborate. We'll get this. We'll figure out a way for you to go down. was like okay cool so they do that and then like 10 minutes later there's seven firefighters on my stairwell all looking up it's like a team huddle and they're just going back and forth on what what the plan should be i'm just listening and before any of this happened i thought should i just because everything else
Starting point is 00:13:45 is fine i thought should i just slide down the stairs and then just wait at the bottom and that would i could i think i could accomplish this yeah like a little butt shimmy like a little butt like a dog doing a butt shimmy across all my stairs i was like i think i can accomplish this and but i thought i'll wait and i'll hear their opinions i don't know what options they have so there's like nine people at this point and they came to the conclusion that the easiest way for me to do this would be is if i just slid down the stairs so i have seven jacked firefighters all around me just watching they turned into like just a peanut gallery they just were like there for moral support at that point so i'd ask shimmy down my stairs and then they'd grab my my desk chair put it behind me i'd sit and then i'd
Starting point is 00:14:32 push myself in the chair to the next set of stairs and then i just did that all the way down to the front door to get in the in the bed i like that that was the result of their huddle like they're like that was yeah shimmy down. Yeah. Do you realize that you just lived out every lonely, bored housewife's fantasy to slide down carpeted stairs
Starting point is 00:14:53 into the waiting arms of seven firefighters? I just thought the idea was somewhere else in Canada. They're like, ah, the freaking restaurant's on fire. They're like, you have to wait.
Starting point is 00:15:02 You have to wait. We got everyone deployed to a guy with a swollen ankle. We got a stair slide situation. restaurants on fire though you gotta you have to wait you have to wait we got everyone deployed to to a guy with a swollen ankle we got a we got a stair slide situation yeah we got a stair slide they were just all they did was say good job and also like did it sound patronizing or like support no it seemed genuine there was a lot of good jobs and like oh you should take a minute to take your breath like it was a lot of trying to make it i'm good i'm fine we're just gonna do this so then i accomplished that one and what else well yeah it was an it was a noise but it was funny but then you had to do it
Starting point is 00:15:34 in reverse i assume when you came home no well that was that was the thing i was like well how am i gonna i'm not really sure what the game plan is for getting back up. And I just was on so many with the whole thing. The whole exiting process wasn't the best where I they did x-rays and blood work and all this stuff. And then they gave me what they believe was the issue with it. And they gave me a bunch of pain pills for it, essentially. And the person's like, hey, can you can you walk? And I was like, I don't think so, but I don't know. I haven't tried in like four or five hours.
Starting point is 00:16:07 And they're like, OK, well, do you own? They didn't offer me anything. They weren't like we have crutches or a wheelchair. They're like, do you own any of that stuff? And I was like, not really. No, they're like, well, can you walk? And I was like, I don't think so. They're like, cool. We'll come back in like 15 minutes and try to figure this out.
Starting point is 00:16:20 And they never came back. So I just slowly limped out of my room. My foot was too swollen to put on my shoes, so I'm barefoot, just slowly staggering through the hospital by myself, and then just go out the door and hop in a car and get taken home. And then I just walked up all the stairs,
Starting point is 00:16:40 just very slowly using the railing. Are you wearing regulation Andrew Panton shorts this whole time? I had been wearing regulation underwear for like the past six days. Well, not even some. So you weren't even in shorts? No, I was going full Winnie. I was Winnie the Pooh in it for a lot of the days. And then, no, I put on shorts for the transport.
Starting point is 00:16:59 So you didn't Winnie the Pooh in your butt shuffles down the stairs? I did not Winnie the Pooh butt shuffle down. Donald Ducket down the stairs. I did not. Winnie the Pooh butt shuffled down. Donald Ducket down the stairs. No. Seven firefighters just look away in horror. Don't look at me! While Andrew goes, Whee!
Starting point is 00:17:18 Hey, can I ask you guys a question? Yeah, of course. I was listening to the episode that just came out, which, you know, I make a practice of not doing, but for some reason, well, honestly, it's because I can't... Yeah, of course. stadium jingle jingle jingle yes what the did we ever answer what the jingle jingle jingle mystery is did we cover that we have it but i i don't know i kind of want to see you said in two episodes and so this this would be the third you know what is funny jeff is we have done zero in the history of these and this entire podcast we have never done any show prep together as a group or exchange notes and what we want to talk about and i attempt it once and i feel like i got shit on by you for it in the episode
Starting point is 00:18:11 by who i got made by you i was definitely making fun of your process it was ridiculous but i still loved it what do you mean it was ridiculous i was writing notes to like to try to distribute like this many i've this thing album fucking tracks and stuff it was great i loved it i absolutely loved it well i'm saying that i tried to do prep for one time and i got shit on for it so i don't need to bring up the jingle jingle because i didn't it's not needed apparently we're not going to do that no show prep but i want to hear people's predictions i have no idea what just happened three episodes ago you said i'm gonna tell you what it is in two episodes no because that was under the assumption that we're recording 12 episodes in four days which is what i was under so i thought this is the
Starting point is 00:18:54 first time we need to and people seem to be interested in the jingle jingle jingle thing right and i also talked to you about the jingle jingle jingle thing and discussing it and the timing of discussing it. I don't remember. Yeah, clearly. Clearly, you don't remember. Do you are you telling me I know the answer to the jingle, jingle, jingle mystery? You know. No, he doesn't. You didn't say that in front of him. No, I didn't tell him what what the answer to the mystery is. But I told you when we should talk about it and why we should talk about that.
Starting point is 00:19:23 And you agreed. And then you just said why we should talk about that and you agreed and then you just said nope and just flushed that information away no i don't remember that part i don't you were not there for that gavin oh it was during the pre-show prep that we always do we prepare our we prepare our bits i'm pretty sure it was a slack conversation between you and i i don't know i just want to know i i'm right there with the audience wondering what the fuck it is i just want to make are you going to address it someday absolutely okay i don't care when as long as it doesn't get dropped no it will never get dropped i just i'd like to see a week of people predicting i think you're blue ball in the audience because they uh you teased it you're i fucking you're
Starting point is 00:19:57 the worst and you don't mean to be you're being the worst right now you have no idea how annoying you're being right now jeff doesn't remember the instructions that I'm not allowed to know. He's ridiculous. He's infuriating. I love you, Jeff, but you're infuriating. I mean, in fairness, there's nothing more forgettable than the episode recorded between the one you're in the middle of making and the one that just came out. I couldn't tell you what was discussed a week ago.
Starting point is 00:20:21 No clue. That's why I asked if we covered it, because I was listening to the episode, and I thought, jingle, jingle, jingle, do I know what that is? And I thought, we must have dealt with it. Then I thought, fuck, I better ask the guys, because my old ass forgot. So if you had told me,
Starting point is 00:20:35 yeah, we covered that in episode 90, idiot, I would have been like, oh, I'll wait until it comes out and listen to it. We have not. But you know what we have? We have gotten a lot of, and I want to hear your two opinions on this. Since the field research has been done,
Starting point is 00:20:48 getting a lot of successful reports back of the hot cake happy meal hack. Any opinions changed? Any reverse of thoughts? You're both against it. I'm seeing a lot of reports of it working. It's beyond just my store. Oh, is that what the jingle, jingle, jingle is?
Starting point is 00:21:02 No, it has nothing to do with that. Completely unrelated. Refresh my memory? No opinion it has nothing to do with that. Completely unrelated. Refresh my memory? No opinion. You guys were both very strongly, this isn't a hack, this is bullshit. The research has come out. I've seen a bunch of people report
Starting point is 00:21:13 that they've gotten three hotcakes with their Happy Meal. Unfortunately, it appears to be more of a Canadian thing than it is in America. Doesn't seem like many American locations have it. All right, let me ask you this. I'll answer your question with a question. Thank you. I appreciate that.
Starting point is 00:21:29 How kind of you. So you're buying, I'm going to make sure I get this straight. You're buying pancakes from McDonald's and you're getting an extra one and you think it's this amazing hack, right? Yes. Don't you have 70 pounds of pancake mix in your house? Let me counter this for you. Okay. This is a really
Starting point is 00:21:45 you're absolutely correct i do i'm not saying that this is for me the most cost effective thing like obviously i'm taking a luxury and i'm ordering a thing i could technically make myself one pancakes at mcdonald's taste differently than the ones i make i really enjoy the taste of the mcdonald's hotcakes two it's a cheaper way to get a thing I enjoy, and it's a small luxury I feel for myself every week. I'm not the best at eating breakfast. I forget a lot of the time to just eat it. It's a meal I don't always have. But I've made it a tradition that on a recording day, I get to treat myself in the morning and I at least have a breakfast going into it. What if you take two of the McDonald's ones and make the third one yourself?
Starting point is 00:22:25 Oh. Like get the two. What if you donate your pancake mix to McDonald's and then they can make your pancakes for you? And then when you get the pancake back, you'll know that maybe some of it came from you. I've been looking at donating most of my pancake mix,
Starting point is 00:22:41 but unfortunately with COVID and stuff, there's not a lot of places that are taking it to make pancakes eric said i don't think mcdonald's wants anything from andrew i think that's correct i think it's a factual statement outside of outside of one particular set of items from them i i think if the if the world ends if there's big like big fat nuclear winter you're gonna have the the weirdest collection of stuff you're gonna be a bottle cap millionaire just from people either you hear about the guy who's got the pancakes and the sauces it's like not something you'd expect from a regular abode this is what i'm gonna say to that though okay let's say nuclear winter happens right i'd rather have the group of people that are
Starting point is 00:23:25 coming into my house they're they're coming after if if they if there's like a takeover scenario people like whatever i'd rather have the pancake people than all the horny jerk off people that you will have with your fucking car batteries you're in the jack off capital in austin i want to get electrocuted and jack off at the same time. Where do I go? We're going to see the battery beat off, dude. The battery beater. That's an excellent point, Andrew. There's a lead on this fridge.
Starting point is 00:23:56 I don't mind. I can share the pancakes. We wanted to do a pancake bath at some point, but I think that's a terrible idea. I guess I talked about mixing it right when I had my pancake maker in the bathroom. What if we lit a fire under the tub? Could you just make a big pancake? Would it cook through?
Starting point is 00:24:14 I don't know how that... You'd have to balance it right so it's not melting the tub. There's probably a certain distance you could have where the heat would flow. Do you think we could put you in a tub with pancake mix, cook it up, and you'd have to eat your way out. No. I don't think that would work. I feel like, well, I think it would burn me. Right? We'd, like,
Starting point is 00:24:33 we'd stir it. That's not what I'm worried about. Well, what if we put you in a fire retardant suit? Okay. If we did that, then yeah, I'd absolutely be completely fine with this premise. But it can't be, I think it needs to be larger it needs to be you know like in a movie like in creep show when fucking ted danson gets buried up to his neck in sand like it needs to be that but pancake but you need to have your head underneath because you gotta eat out no my head isn't
Starting point is 00:24:58 gonna be underneath the pancake we need you basically in a tub with a snorkel oh yeah and then as as it sets we rip the snorkel out and you have to scoff your way out no this is not the fucking worst david blaine stunt of all time give me air allow me to breathe and i was coming down the snorkel i don't want to snort why can't i just have my head exposed and start slowly eating away from just my neck area down loosening up then i get an arm free. Are you not a snorkel guy? I'm not a snorkel guy. I've never been a snorkel guy. I'm bad at the snorkel. I've tried it once,
Starting point is 00:25:30 I wasn't good at it. Don't trust it. Is it just the act of breathing underwater that you don't like? Just knowing that your head is underwater? Yeah, it's not a thing I regularly do. And I think I tried it once as a kid and it went horribly wrong. And I just didn't do it again. Let me posit this then. Maybe it's time for snorkel redemption and uh pancake snorkeling i think sounds like
Starting point is 00:25:51 the perfect vehicle this is the other 2022 the pancake snorkel redemption i love it i don't trust being blinded essentially and unable to move with the two of you fuckers of being in the area and just being able to do every one I don't want I we've talked about I've let Jeff bury me in a coffin once I did Andrew we nailed it down, and then we covered it in dirt. He was in there. What does that mean? What does that mean how far down was he how much dirt did he have uh not that far not that much, but that's Exactly no fucking exactly! You just laid down in a bed, they poured a pebble over you and you're like I fucking-
Starting point is 00:26:30 But I had an air hole, had an air pipe, and there was a big like digger putting mud on me. Okay. How about if you fucking have the Ryan Reynolds buried experience, you get buried like six feet, all you get is a lighter and a phone, then I'll do pancake thing, no problem. Well does that mean we can put you six feet under pancake because we're talking inches here man yeah it's got to equate i would go six feet under pancake okay do i get any condiments any any any topping any sides with this do i get like some syrup yeah we'll give you like we'll give you like a bag full of little butter pats and individual syrups. A bag of syrup that you can rip open in an emergency. You can rip it open one at a time. Am I allowed to use it as lubrication to try to
Starting point is 00:27:09 squeeze out of the pancake? Yes. Okay. Well, this is... It's you eat how you eat, Andrew. I'm not gonna get in... I don't judge your methods. I like the idea of eating pancake with a shovel. Like, having that much that you need to, like, dig up. I like the idea of using syrup as lube. Isn't that the opposite?
Starting point is 00:27:25 I like the idea that your body is the syrup. Syrup. Syrup distribution method. Syrup XM. I feel like I'd get all slippery if I covered myself with syrup. But I think there's a window. I think you're right.
Starting point is 00:27:35 It eventually hardens and then would become an issue. But I think there'd be a brief window in which I'd be all slippery.

Wherever you 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 i found out something recently andrew about yeah about where you live is this about like the maple
Starting point is 00:28:22 syrup reserves or something, I'm assuming? Vancouver has banned doorknobs? Starting March 14th, all new buildings erect in the city will have to include lever handles on their doors rather than rounded knobs. Not only do a lot of the comment leavers agree with me on the doorknob front, the entirety of Vancouver, knobs are illegal on new builds in Vancouver since 2014 did you have any idea of this
Starting point is 00:28:47 no weird I'm trying to think of knobs are they're trying to Andrew they're trying to take your doorknob freedom I'm okay with that as I said I'm kind of indifferent to the I don't really I'm trying to think like the last time I encountered a doorknob in the wild I don't think it's it's been a while it's clearly not been since 2013. And it makes total sense. I guess they want. What a weird. What a weird thing to outlaw people without functioning hands to be able to use doors.
Starting point is 00:29:13 It makes total sense. That does make sense. That does make sense. I was going to say why. Like, what would be the thing that would lead to that level of of wanting it changed? Like who would bring that to the floor to get that approved? But that that makes sense. floor to get that approved but that that makes sense yeah now that you mentioned that that part yeah that is a fun fact gavin it is
Starting point is 00:29:29 illegal so what do you think there's somebody who's rebellious that's like i'm gonna put a fucking doorknob i'm doing it do you think you can go to the local home depot in vancouver and be like yeah i'd like to buy one of these doorknobs and the guy's like i can sell it to you but i have to let you know you can't install it i don't think they're even on the shelves i bet he takes you around the back of the store yeah and there's like a rag over a load of boxes of doorknobs i was gonna say if you wanted a doorknob you can only buy them through the hot dog guy in front of the store it's the only place it's technically within the grounds of the building but they're not associated with it it's a backdoor deal do you have hot dog guys in the front of your Home Depot too?
Starting point is 00:30:06 Absolutely. Yeah, it's a great staple. It's a staple of Home Depot. That must be like every Home Depot must have a hot dog guy in front of them or a taco guy in Texas. It's not every Home Depot, but a lot of them do. And they have different agreements depending on the store.
Starting point is 00:30:20 So they're typically not hired by the store, but it was an idea that essentially and it's sort of up to debate who is the first person to do it but the common thread was uh like a place where people could buy a snack while while getting a product i watched the whole thing about hot dogs and home depot and that thing but i don't remember a lot of the details on it it was yeah it's just funny that like it's awesome too because they're very territorial because there are some lows that do the same thing and there's like a real rivalry between the lows hot dog people and the home depot hot dog people they're like no we don't
Starting point is 00:30:53 fuck around with lows are you a home depot or a lows person i don't think i have lows in canada there's at least not one where i live i don think. No, it's weird as to like because of COVID, I've remained in my space as much as possible for like three years now. So I don't necessarily know what buildings are in different parts of the city. I just haven't visited. I was looking at a Japanese restaurant that's my favorite in the city. And I was just scrolling through Google images of it. And I was like, this idiot took a photo of the wrong restaurant.
Starting point is 00:31:26 What a ridiculous thing that is. And then I realized it was the right restaurant. They just remodeled and I haven't been there in like three years because of COVID. So it's wild. So if we do have a Lowe's, I'm not aware of it, but I guess it's possible that it exists. Hey, it's weird to live in. Go ahead. No, go ahead.
Starting point is 00:31:42 Before it's weird to live in what? I was just going to say it's weird to live in a small town and not feel like you know all the main stores to it it's been there's been a strange byproduct of code that was weird jeff simultaneously let you continue but also like started telling his shit at the same time did i you were like before no go ahead before i'm all discombobulated. Why is that? Why are you? Oh, I'm just fucking all loopy from cold medicine shit.
Starting point is 00:32:11 Oh, yeah. And fucking being sequestered, quarantined, whatever. I have three little things I'd like to talk about before we end. But I don't know what else you guys want to cover. We're only halfway through. Yeah, feel free. I'd love to hear your things. I saw a... This is just a comment I saw on the Yeah, feel free. I'd love to hear your things. I saw a,
Starting point is 00:32:25 this is just a comment I saw on the site, I believe, I was looking for the last episode. Someone named Mr. Steel Crayon said we should make baseball bats that have door handles instead of knobs.
Starting point is 00:32:37 And sell them. Which, you know, I gotta say, I think he's onto something there. I mean, that would probably do better than the skateboard. I was, yeah. I was going to try to build one for the recording of this episode, but I got distracted. I will, we could sell them in Vancouver.
Starting point is 00:32:53 We can only sell them in Vancouver. Technically, we shouldn't have been sending those baseball bats to Vancouver. Jesus Christ, we were sending illegal knobs. Is it going to be a functional door handle? Like, is it going gonna actually be able to turn i think i would assume so i hope big i hope big handle doesn't get a doesn't hear about us and crush us with the door handle lobby i'd be okay as long as we firmly align with big knob i'm not scared of big handle as long as we are close to big knob as long as we're close to big
Starting point is 00:33:23 knob yeah the other thing is, real fast, so the other day, I haven't opened it up yet, but I know they're there. I was going to wait until I'm COVID-free. But the other day, a box of fucking wrist pockets showed up at my house. Oh my God, we made them? Yeah. I got to remember, I got to...
Starting point is 00:33:41 Here's the problem. Somebody's got to tell them, I don't know that I'm always serious when I say we should make this stuff we have meetings and in more than one meeting you're adamant about making these this isn't a one and done
Starting point is 00:33:54 and I know yes and there are slacks there are messages to one another what you know I was gonna I would let it slide I would have let it slide
Starting point is 00:34:04 if you didn't just try to absolve yourself of responsibility for this. Why doesn't somebody stop me sometimes? You're in charge. It's like a quorum. Not only did we talk about this several times in those meetings, I feel like this has been discussed
Starting point is 00:34:19 three or four meetings at this point, which is quite a while. You volunteered to sign them. That's my question. I remember being mad at Eric and you for trying to gaslight me because I was supposed to do something with them that I didn't agree to. But obviously they're at my house. So what am I supposed to do with them?
Starting point is 00:34:36 Because I'm going to do it. I just don't know what to do. That's why I bring it up. Aren't you supposed to write like wrist pocket or whatever and then like sign it or like number it i don't know you have these ideas what do you want me to do i don't know hang on hang on hang on what would you like me to do in the future jeff okay here's what i want you to do okay just just remember what it was i was supposed to do with them i'm happy to do it well i'm not happy to do it but i'm willing to do it i just don't remember what it is I was supposed to do with them. I'm happy to do it. Well, I'm not happy to do it, but I'm willing to do it.
Starting point is 00:35:06 I just don't remember what it is, like how I'm supposed to manipulate these stupid things. Eric, you're getting a nice glimpse as to what it was like to build stuff in Minecraft with Jeff based on his notes while he was an alcoholic. We would be 50% building in Minecraft and 50%
Starting point is 00:35:21 trying to figure out what double block upside down means and trying to make a game of it. I just don't remember how I'm supposed to manipulate these stupid things, and I want to do it faithfully and properly. They don't say anything on them, right? They're just the pockets? Are they blank? I think they have the uniform logo on them.
Starting point is 00:35:39 Okay. Yeah, so you're supposed to write the wrist pockets rock or whatever. Yeah, yeah. Whatever you wrote on your original thing that you cut out from your fucking jeans and just taped to your wrist, which I, which I still have. It's taped to my,
Starting point is 00:35:49 to my monitor as reference. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. When you get 30 in and you start getting lost, just look back at that original that's hanging from your monitor. Okay.
Starting point is 00:36:00 Yeah. I'll do that. Got it right here. I guess you could sign it or number them. You can do whatever you like i numbering sounds appropriate yeah i mean that sounds good i mean either way you're writing all over them so you do whatever you want i suppose um yeah i mean this is see here's the thing here's the thing you're saying like oh what am i supposed to oh how do i get into this whatever
Starting point is 00:36:20 the thing that we haven't done yet that you keep talking about is hitting all these fucking baseballs. Well, yeah, because... I don't know why we haven't done that yet. I'm ready to go. I got like, as soon as I'm done with quarantine, I'm ready to go. Jeff, Jeff, fucking please. You were supposed to throw a baseball 80 miles an hour
Starting point is 00:36:39 and now you're saying, why haven't I hit 1,000 baseballs yet? Well, I think they only ordered 300, so I only have to hit 300. You're not going to hit half of them. If I get a 50% contact ratio, that's got to at least be like a 300 batting average. I'm like a young Tony Gwynn.
Starting point is 00:36:59 All right, we'll schedule a day. We'll schedule a day. There's a field we can use. We'll hit it into the backstop. We toss them up you can hit them with do you still want to dip a bat in oil or whatever you were talking yeah and paint and paint so that we can sign them yeah great yeah for sure yeah that's cool that's not gonna get paint's not gonna go everywhere this will be good oh i assume it probably will but we'll have gavin film it i know the world doesn't work this way but i want the you know how like you have a nerf gun or like a water gun how you have to like pump it to increase the force on it i want a bat where you
Starting point is 00:37:29 have to twist the doorknob at the bottom to increase velocity i just want to see you like twisting the knob but i'm just like gotta pump it up elegant we'll add numbers on it let's go the way around to 11 on the on the how do you know yeah there's like a psi type gauge i should only hit the balls with the hand with the handle bat i'll have to build the handle bat prototype and then we can only hit the balls oh man that was the oh the one other thing i wanted to talk about is uh is this i've been in this. Well, here. Are you guys familiar with this?
Starting point is 00:38:07 Liquid Death is fixing the big game using witchcraft. Should I be watching this? Liquid Death, which is like a water company, has enlisted the help as a marketing campaign, enlisted the help of a magician or, I don't know, a brujeria or wizard or somebody to use magic to determine and influence the outcome of the super bowl i'll say from my experience it was not helpful about the magic are you guys done with magic uh well i think in like a week there will be it'll be announced who the offensive rookie of the year is a week for us it'll probably be out by the time
Starting point is 00:38:43 you hear this uh yeah i'm assuming but we'll find that out and from my understanding the list included jeff's rookie and gavin's rookie but not my rookie didn't even make the cut so unfortunately justin fields no matter what witchcraft or wizardry i threw at just Fields. Nothing could overcome the dark forces of Matt Nagy, which held us back, but I'm hoping for one of you two. What kind of spells were you doing? All sorts of, that's beyond my understanding. I just had other people. I think the problem is you were soliciting help from people. I just did the actual spells and incantations myself.
Starting point is 00:39:22 That might be the thing I need to change. The only person I don't want to win is Gavin. yeah because you did nothing you did nothing you did nothing and you made fun of it the entire process of doing it it would be the most you thing i'm just putting up and it's a it's not it's a shame because i like their water i do i think it's actually pretty good but uh i'm just putting up uh just throwing out there that if we're going to use magic again in the future to influence the outcome of anything, which I think we should
Starting point is 00:39:49 because I think we still have our wizards versus magic idea for basketball. And I do think that there's more room to grow in the using magic to influence sporting events angle. I think we kind of lost
Starting point is 00:40:00 the thread a little bit as we got distracted by other things on the podcast. I would like to revisit it sometime, but I would also like to raise the idea that if we're going to use magic to influence anything, maybe it should be to get revenge on liquid death. Like, use magic to combat
Starting point is 00:40:14 their magic? Yeah, to like, I don't know. We'll have to figure it out. Maybe hex them. I was looking at the Super Bowl halftime prop bets for this year. I'd like to throw some magic at that. I'm really, I'm trying to, I've been spending the last day trying to decide what color of Gatorade
Starting point is 00:40:28 the winning coach is going to get dumped over him. It's two to one odds on orange, just a favorite, but it's a tough, tough call. Hey, if you, I know you're probably doing your prop bets from your phone, but I'm going to be in Vegas for the Super Bowl. So if you want me to place any prop bets physically while I'm there, I'll be happy to.
Starting point is 00:40:41 Let me know what they have. I'd love to hear. It's probably a more extensive, because it's like, I'm going to, once again, I think'm there. I'll be happy. Let me know what they have. I'd love to hear. It's probably a more extensive because it's like I'm going to once again, I think the greatest win I've ever had in my career of gambling. So dumb to call it a career. I don't know why I said that. But the J-Lo picking what song J-Lo would open with when she was at the Super Bowl because that leak all time win the excitement of hearing Jenny from the block.
Starting point is 00:41:02 So I'm hoping to recreate that great halftime show this year very excited very excited as well yeah let me know uh i mean this will come out uh this will already yeah it'll all be done okay so then yeah i'm staying at the win so i'll be at the sports book in the win uh watching the super bowl so i'm i'll send you photos of all the profits thank you awesome very very fun because it's the main one i gotta pick is like who will sing first which i don't know i don't know who will perform first. Over-unders on the anthem. Who will the MVP mention first?
Starting point is 00:41:29 Just a bunch of ridiculous ones. But I'd love, I bet you this actual sports book has way more dumb options to pick from. Absolutely. Okay, that was my things. I have one thing. It's a very uneventful week for me. Aside from something happened that I feel like
Starting point is 00:41:43 I'm almost confident in saying this has never happened to anyone else on earth okay there's some pictures some pictures coming oh i'm very excited so i was putting some stuff on my wall putting some controllers up because i feel like i've got some nice uh yeah those are pretty jeremy does this too he's got like some nice limited edition controllers that aren't necessarily in use because they're not elites or whatever. So display them on the wall. And then I was wearing some sweatpants that have these little toggle things
Starting point is 00:42:14 that cover the end of, you know, that cover like the plastic bit. Yeah. A little plastic cap for the end of your sweatpants. I was wearing these sweatpants, putting these things on the wall. Smee was like swatting at the strings. And I guess at some point he knocked one of them off. And down here you can see, these sweatpants, putting these things on the wall. Smee was like swatting at the strings and uh,
Starting point is 00:42:25 I guess at some point he knocked one of them off. And down here you can see they look very similar to like the drywall anchors. Oh my god. So I posted one of those into my wall. I'm not sure anyone ever has ever done that. Do you think anyone has accidentally pushed the cover from their sweatpants into a hole they drilled in their own wall because i and he looked at the smear looked at me after i did this after i realized that it went straight in instead of you know stopping in the wall it just went whoop and i heard it just rattled down and fall into the floor of the wall and then he just looked at me like he meant to do it that's's probably why you lost power. At that point, I just thought, has that ever happened? No.
Starting point is 00:43:07 You're the only person. Like, no one would come up with that, would they? How old is Earth? Hold on. I was like, of all the things, in the correct order to happen. They look similar. They're the similar size. In 4.543 billion years, you are the only person to have done that i would i would bet my life on it
Starting point is 00:43:31 i i wish i was just filming the my own face just as a realization of just like oh i'm really loving these little peeks into your home life lately. It's been highly entertaining. It's just nothing normal ever happens. I want a normal experience for once. I'm trying to get more into DIY, and it's a disaster. And it's not like I'm being lazy or I just can't. This weird shit keeps happening. The unknown.
Starting point is 00:44:01 It's never in the instructions. Oh, yeah. I guess there's probably not a thing in your your door your doorknob for explosions i bet that wasn't a covered section no what else i mean is there anything are those the two main things i mean am i missing anything of like diy gone wrong for you recently i don't remember because you had the the wasp nest in your fan but that wasn't really your fault or like a thing by you. Well, he blew up his door handle. He snatched his remote in half. He didn't vacuum
Starting point is 00:44:30 for a year and a half until we made him do it on camera. Well, I vacuumed the carpet. I just didn't vacuum the sideboard. There was the cucumber incident. He threw a Route 44 across his house trying to repaint it. Those are great. Those are highlights. Those are great things that happened in the house.
Starting point is 00:44:48 What's the most ambitious DIY project you've taken on? Is this it? You'd say? Yeah, it's pretty simple stuff. I've done some like wiring. I drop shit in my walls a lot. I'll be honest. I'm not used to having like big hollow walls with nothing in between. I had this this thing that you could tie around the end of a wire. It was like a magnet. On the outside of the wall, you have like a magnetic roller. So you roll it up the wall and it sort of drags wires up or down the inside of your walls. But I guess I was just unaware of where other wires are in the wall.
Starting point is 00:45:18 Like to an outlet, there's wires going down the wall and then like coming out sideways. And I ended up tangling this freaking magnet thing to the point where there's still one inside my wall. then like coming out sideways. And I ended up tangling this fricking magnet thing. And to the point where there's still one inside my wall. And I just sealed the hole up because I couldn't get it out. It's like there's in one of my walls, there's a load of string with a magnet on the end wrapped around the wire that feeds the outlet by that. And it's just going to be in there forever.
Starting point is 00:45:41 Like the, the, the next door to the house is going to find a lot of weird shit in the walls. I think based on how it's just gonna be in there forever like the the next door to the house is It's gonna find a lot of weird shit in the walls. I think Based on how it's gone so far It's like all those old American houses with like loose razor blades in the in the bathroom walls. Oh, yeah Oh, no, that sounds terrible. You don't know about that Andrew. No, I've never heard of that Yeah, and bat in old bathrooms. They used to do that in an old medicine cabinet Sometimes there'd be like a little razor thing where you just like pop your razor in and just
Starting point is 00:46:07 go into the wall forever it's like the most what short-sighted thing ever it's like it was like a staple inside of medicine cabinets there would just be a little slit for you to just throw shit away inside your wall back in the old days though i think like this is that that shit was probably made like in the 1930s, 1940s. I think razor blades lasted a whole lot longer back then. They were made to be more durable. So you probably weren't popping one a week in there. It was probably more like one every six months or something.
Starting point is 00:46:35 Oh, I thought it was like a weekly thing. No, razor blades are... It's one of those scams like light bulbs where razor blades are made to deteriorate and suck so that they're infinitely replaceable so they can sell it to you forever but you can make a razor blade that lasts damn near forever i want to know the history of that though because what is it just man look it up on google they got it they got it all anything you want to know the history on google got it do they yeah i just want to like what was the conversation of did somebody
Starting point is 00:47:01 say well then where did this go and then then just like, I don't know, but who cares? Yeah. There you go. Razor blade slot. Razor blade slot. Cause they're sharp and dangerous and you don't want to throw them in a trash can and then pick it up and get,
Starting point is 00:47:12 you cut yourself. Oh, that's fucking hard. There's another photo of, is this the remains of, yeah, that's what happens if you cut open like a, a certain aged American home.
Starting point is 00:47:22 I really liked the idea of, of like a idea of a generation of people having their pile excess like this is great grandpappy's razor. It's like when the people like call the ice and you can say this is six million years old. It's like, well, that's old granddad's razor.
Starting point is 00:47:38 So in the 1930s, the worst wall to get thrown through would be a bathroom wall. If you're going to go through a wall, that would be the worst one. Like that scene in the Matrix where they're in the worst wall to get thrown through would be a bathroom wall if you're gonna go through a wall that would be the worst one like that scene in the matrix whether in the wet world that's like a shitload of razor blades cut him up i would i'd be so pissed if i got thrown through a wall and landed on a razor pile that just existed if i was fighting somebody let's say i'm in a fight to the death right i'm'm having a full on brawl with somebody in a bathroom. If I threw them through the wall and they got they landed on a razor pile, I would call a timeout on their behalf.
Starting point is 00:48:14 That's just unacceptable. I would feel so bad. That would end the fight. Gotta call in a doctor. I'd throw in the bathroom towel just to end it immediately. This cannot continue. Did you ever live in a house, Jeff, that had one of those? I assume so. Yeah. I mean, I want to say maybe the old house that we lived in together in the downstairs bathroom might have had it, but I can't remember specifically. But I mean,
Starting point is 00:48:40 it's something that like the second you mentioned, it's so commonplace in my head. I feel like I see it all the time. I would go so far as to say any house that's 80 years old or older, probably that hasn't been completely renovated, probably has one of these. You might be living in a home. You, dear regulation listener or comment lever, you might be living in a home right now with a hidden cache of razor blades that you have no idea about. Go check out your bathroom and look at it with a critical eye. Back when I had a yard, I used to think about what is the coolest thing buried in that yard that I just have no ideas there. If there's anything like if I were to dig up the entire yard, how far would I have to go before I found something?
Starting point is 00:49:17 And what would that be? Are you just talking straight down? I'm talking straight down on my if I just got a shovel and was like i'm gonna spend the next 15 years whatever i feel like it's just digging holes in my backyard i mean what's the cool likely than not you'll probably find nothing right i'd assume so no i don't know my backyard is full of shit really huh yeah like i don't know who the motherfuckers were that lived in this house 40 years ago but they were straight up burying trash in the backyard huh have you what's the coolest thing you found nothing cool nothing
Starting point is 00:49:51 cool at all but like digging to fucking like put a flower bed in or something you're like why is there half a milk jug buried like what the fuck And I'm constantly picking up, like, I think they were kind of like, Austin has this eclectic vibe, Andrew. It's maybe not as prevalent as it was with the influx of money and tech bros and stuff, but Austin used to pride itself on, like, everybody's backyard was full of Christmas lights 365 days a year, and you would have these little weird gardens
Starting point is 00:50:24 of found shit and like a lot of old wrought iron rusting it's all cute there's like coffee shops like spider house which is closed now but kind of pride themselves on it it's like it's weird it's like being in a salvage yard that's a coffee shop i didn't know it closed yeah it did uh the the the place next door to it that they operate is still open the ballroom but the coffee shop's closed real sad so the people there were definitely some like hippie-ish people who lived in my yard my house at some point who would just bury like you know there's like glass raw like anything they had they were like throw it in the backyard and it will make it it'll be a
Starting point is 00:50:56 thing like i i was cleaning up in the extreme back of my yard i was just cleaning up piles of leaves and i like i touched on something that was like hard so i dug it out and it was like a ceramic tile and i thought what a weird thing to be in the ground and then i noticed there was it was budding up next to another one and i pulled up 25 ceramic tiles somebody just laid them in a pattern and said like hey it's a back deck now i put 25 ceramic tiles on top of the ground it It's a deck. And then eventually dirt and age covered it. The ground just ate it. Yeah, the ground ate it.
Starting point is 00:51:27 My backyard is full of that shit. I'll just be like, I'll kick the ground and it'll hurt. And I'll be like, what the fuck? And I'll dig out a brick. Like, no reason. Middle of the yard. Maybe if we go to your yard to dig the bean hole, we'll find some really cool shit.
Starting point is 00:51:38 Can we make a fucking bean hole finally? Let's finally do it. Let's finally do it. 2022 is the year of the beanhole. This idea predates f*** face altogether. Do you want to explain it, Jeff? Yeah. I got really into beanholes a couple years
Starting point is 00:51:53 over a decade ago at this point because I read an article in the New York Times about it. And what it is, Andrew, is it was started by loggers up in the Northeast, like in the main Vermont area. What they would do is they had to feed all the loggers up in the northeast, like in the main Vermont area. What they would do is they had to feed all the loggers and they were moving campsites like every two days going further and further up into the extreme north.
Starting point is 00:52:14 And so the chef, the cook, would have to travel ahead of them and prepare food and have the food ready for them when they got there. So they developed this ingenious idea where they would dig a hole in the ground, right? And then they would take a big ass like cast iron pot and they would fill it with beans and then like a ham hock and tomatoes and onions
Starting point is 00:52:35 and just everything you would want in like some yummy ass baked beans, right? This crazy recipe. And then they would close it up, right? Put the top on the big cast iron, stick it in the hole, about four feet in the ground maybe. And then they would close it up, right? Put the top on the big cast iron, stick it in the hole, about four feet in the ground, maybe. And then they would burn a bunch of wood, and then they would get all the hot, essentially the hot coals, and they would cover the bean hole, or they would cover the cast iron bean container with all these hot embers, right? And then they would stick, like, a piece of plywood over that, and then cover it with, like, a foot of dirt.
Starting point is 00:53:05 would stick like a piece of plywood over that and then cover it with like a foot of dirt and then 48 hours later when the loggers would come up they would knock off the dirt pick up the thing pull out the bean hole and they would have the greatest tasting beans on earth in this giant pot that they could all eat communally for like two days and then uh at that point then the chef would go up two days further and then make another bean hole. And so from everything that I've read in my extensive bean hole research, there is nothing on earth like bean hole beans. There is nothing on earth like 48-hour prepared bean hole beans. And when I was in the Army and we fought forest fires in Montana, one of the things that they did was they would give us these solar lunch bags that would have like a burrito in it and it would be wrapped in tinfoil. And the instructions were to find some hot ash on the ground that had burned and then kick a hole, stick it in, and then cover it with the ashes and come back in like 20 minutes and you'd have a cooked burrito.
Starting point is 00:54:01 And ever since then, I thought that was the coolest idea. It's like the nature's microwave it's like the nature's microwave yeah nature's microwave so when i discovered the beanhole i've been i've been obsessed with the idea of making a beanhole forever and we've been talking about it forever and i really want to do it i just haven't done it yeah you absolutely need to do that i explained this whole thing to eric uh bar recently oh did you yeah i would like to think that the inventor of the bean hole also invented the razor blade slot. Like this is his follow up. Like you brought on Shark Tank.
Starting point is 00:54:29 Let me everybody knows the success I've had with the razor blade slot. I got the newest innovation. OK, we're not done putting things in a hole and then just forgetting about them for a while. This is the bean hole. You will never have beans better than when you put them in a hole. Do yourself a favor, and after this episode's over, at some point throughout the course of your day,
Starting point is 00:54:50 when you're not watching The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, which you absolutely should be doing, but I know you're not going to do. Oh, you fucking pretzeled me so hard with The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. I'm just telling you. I just know you. I know you.
Starting point is 00:55:00 You're not going to fucking do it, so it doesn't matter. Don't do me the pleasantries of maybe I'll check it out someday bullshit just be honest and tell me you're never gonna watch it no i that i recommend because i just that i want you to anyway i don't know what to do while you're not watching the real housewives of salt lake city what i would like you to do at some point is watch any video on bean holes on youtube it'll blow your fucking mind there's a there's a ton of good ones should we we do it this month? No, it's too cold. It'll be like summer again by the end of the week.
Starting point is 00:55:27 Well, Eric says June. Let's plan for March. March is good bean hole month. I have another update, another small update that I want to say. A lot of people telling me I'm an idiot for putting the fingerprint door handle. I could have just turned my door handle upside down. My door handles already work both ways. I'm not
Starting point is 00:55:44 sure if that's a variation, but I can turn my handles up to open the door as well. Flipping upside down, I don't think would do anything. Money bags over here with the ambidextrous door handles. Look at you. High class. I mean, they were on the doors already when I moved, but sure. Very, very, very, very subtle
Starting point is 00:55:59 brag, Gavin, but we all got it. Look at this fucking guy over here. Message received. Loud and clear. Message received. We understand. Which ways do your doors go? I have knobs baby. Nobs everywhere?
Starting point is 00:56:16 My front door is pushed down with my thumb. My other final update is that Jeff what's the name of the dwarf in Lord of the Rings? Gimli? Tough! Right? Gimli? Yeah, Andrew, what did you think it was called? Listen. Listen, okay?
Starting point is 00:56:34 I, first of all, I got it wrong. Second of all, I'm trying to crawl to my door to see if my door handle twists both ways. I thought it was Grimli. I spent my whole life thinking the dwarf from Lord of the Rings is called Grimly. That's a cool name though. I just like the idea of Gimli, son of Gloin, being Grimly, son of Groin. This fucking door does- let me slide to the other part of my room. We're going on a little adventure. Be careful. You could hurt yourself. Andrew, please don't hurt't hurt yourself no I'm just dragging everything
Starting point is 00:57:05 we're not gonna end it while Andrew's crawling across his room holy shit I think my doors go both ways my doors go both ways I wasn't gonna say anything about this but fuck it I'm gonna tease it because it'll annoy you guys I was thinking about both of your lives recently
Starting point is 00:57:22 and about their particular frustrations that you deal with on a day-to-day basis. And I felt bad about it. And I thought, as a good friend, I'm going to think about your problems and I'm going to figure out ways to solve them. And then I went out and I did that. And I bought some stuff for you guys that I think is going to help make your lives easier a little bit. And so, Gavin, I have yours in my... I'm looking at it, but I can't give it to you yet because Andrew's doesn't arrive until, I believe, February 16th.
Starting point is 00:57:53 So on February 16th, I'm going to drive your gift over to you, and then you guys can have them on the same day, and then we can talk about it on the podcast. But I want to let you guys know, help is coming on February 16th.
