This is a Rooster Teeth production.
Hello and welcome to another episode of the F*** Face Podcast.
This is number 134, I believe, of season 5.
My name is...
What the fuck was that?
He's gone straight into the bubble, has he?
Oh!
Oh!
Oh my god.
Andrew, it's hot. You gotta take it slow.
Oh, no, it's lukewarm.
It's the Gerplar's plastic cup.
I didn't want to melt the cup.
I love the Gerplar's a plastic cup. I didn't want to melt the cup. I love the Gerplar too much. Oh, I got beef everywhere. Oh, man, Ever since Dodge the Bomb, the smell. The smell is so bad.
Oh, Jesus. Okay.
Golden Face.
How are we doing?
I've got to be honest with you.
I didn't expect that.
Jeff Ramsey, Gavin Free, Andrew Panton.
Here we are.
I was thinking as you were introing, I was like, oh, this would be a nice bit.
Nope, it's already happened.
Never mind.
What a... How is the Bob role?
Are you enjoying it?
Oh, it's so...
I hate it.
It's terrible. Why did you agree to chug
this again? I don't remember. Yeah, I was like
to celebrate the launch of the Bob Roll,
I'll chug whatever is the most
liked response within
reason. The launch of the Bob Roll.
The Gerpler. I'm... Listen.
I'm not doing
well. I'm not... Yeah, beef
brain. I'm beef brained right now.
I, uh... I like that being something that affects you like brain freeze.
I brimleyed it a little bit.
I got the, I said the wrong thing.
I'm on the ropes here.
Okay.
That's the first, the first use of a brimley in the wild.
I love it.
Oh man.
Oh Jesus.
So do you consider yourself a Bovril fan then?
No.
What part of that would make you think I was a Bovril fan at all?
I don't know, man.
I think the Dodge the Bov really tainted it for me.
I think in a different...
If I would have just tried it normally as intended,
I probably would enjoy it.
You've had bog-standard lukewarm Bov?
Yeah.
Ever since the Dodge the Bov,
I just have been avoiding it
at all costs I can't imagine
lukewarm is the preferred temperature
to enjoy you could have
I mean I think the preferred way is
to keep you warm on a cold day it's got to be steamy
piping hot when I
I have so much
beef all over me right now
did you like spit up beef
water oh I spit it
everywhere. It's everywhere.
Oh my god.
This is
going to be fun to be in for an hour. Great.
This is great.
I'm an idiot.
Oh, hey, real quick, while
Andrew's doing that,
I got a corn dog update.
Emily had corn dogs for dinner last night. Oh. Oh. Emily had corn dogs
for dinner last night.
Yeah.
I had zero desire
to eat corn dogs.
Interesting.
Didn't faze me at all.
Didn't even,
they looked,
as a matter of fact,
I looked at it and I thought,
like, what an inferior food,
and I ordered a hot dog.
And I had a,
I had a Chicago dog instead.
Yeah.
That's awesome.
That sounds good.
I would always go
Chicago dog over corn dog.
Yeah, I feel like if a nice hot dog was on the table i would definitely pick that over corn dog i feel like
corn dog something to eat if you're in a car yeah when i would say when i was younger i thought the
chili dog was like the top tier of all hot dogs but i've really turned a corner on the chicago dog
i uh it is i really think that's the way to go. I don't know about you guys.
I feel like I still need to eat it with my hand.
Yeah.
And a chili dog sometimes is like a soggy knife and fork situation.
100%.
100%.
Absolutely.
Speaking of food,
should we get into your exciting food game, Jeff?
Yeah, Jeff dropped us off each a bag of food, I guess.
Oh, yeah.
You've got some stuff.
Yeah.
So you were able to get everything on the list,
right, Andrew?
Yeah, I'm all good.
Okay, good.
I tried to pick...
I spent way too much time
last night researching products
that are for sale in Austin
and Canada at large.
And this isn't Dubox?
This is just food?
No, this is just food.
This is a little food game
I came up with.
Everybody should have received
a bag of a bunch of crap.
With the exception of Eric, I think you got
a box because I ran out of grocery bags.
So if everybody has their bags ready,
I also asked you guys to
prepare a pen and a piece
of paper because we're going to write some stuff down.
Oh shit, do we? Let me do that.
I'm just saying the unchose.
Yeah, you go
grab your pen and stuff. That's fine we can just fill i'm so excited about this
game jeff i think it's once we open up and get into it it's gonna be a great time yeah to be uh
to be uh for for clarity's sake uh andrew i i bounced some of the ideas off of you last night
and you kind of helped me form it i had this this idea when, I don't remember what we were doing. It was, we were leaving, I guess
work from the office day. And
for some reason, I stopped at
a store and I saw this, this,
these potato chips and they
were, they just looked weird. And I
tried them and they were, and it just got me trying
to figure out how I could make like, cause I knew we have like
we have these two episodes we're recording
today and then we have to record one or two more next
week so that we can finish out the year. And so i was just trying to come up with bits and uh
anyway i came up with this idea for like a gross food thing but then when i was trying to put it
together last night it uh it made sense to be a kind of a different game and so i'll look yeah i
don't know if gavin's still here i'll kind of explain it as we go i don't want to give up the
give up the entirety of the game because I think
you guys playing along
and not quite understanding
where we're going with it
is going to make it funnier
in the end,
if that makes sense.
And hopefully
for the audience, too.
Also...
Is Gavin in a penniless house?
Like, we're...
It was the paper
that was the struggle.
Also, number one
in there is also included.
I bought you guys gifts in michigan
when i went when i had my you know every year i take my fall apple trip to michigan and when i
was there i got you guys some caramel i got you guys some like some hot cider mix and then i got
you guys stickers from the yates uh cider mill so everybody should have those as well uh gavin you
got the best sticker uh i didn't realize after I bought them all that there was one that was clearly better than the
other so you got the really good sticker
and
that's not because I'm playing favorites
it's just that I've known you longer than everybody
else so I just went with length of time
I appreciate it
so what we have is a bag except for Eric who has a
little box and in it are a bunch
of different kinds of potato chips and
like chippy type things.
Now, I don't want to confuse this
with the supplemental content we still need to do
where I present American chip.
The chip off, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
This is actually going to be called,
I'm going to call this the chip-
Chipples-a.
The chip-
Chipples-a.
What was your dumb- Chipples-a? Yeah. The chip- Chipples-a. The, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip, chip of them. So first off, everybody pull out of the bag. We're going to do this in order. The first thing you'll see is unchos.
Okay? And I would say...
Eric, sorry. Andrew, you might
have munchos because I wasn't able to put
painter's tape on yours, obviously, because you had to
buy it yourself. Everybody else has unchos.
I do. I always get paranoid
when the price is on the product
in print. Why? Really?
Why? It's just such a weird thing to me.
I feel like it's convenient. I like it. That means that they're the same price in every store Why? Really? Why? It's just such a weird thing to me. I feel like it's convenient.
I like it. That means that they're the same price
in every store they're in?
Yeah.
I guess so.
I'm opening them now.
Okay.
Let's open them.
Yeah, open up the Unshows.
And I want everybody,
before you do it though,
I want you to,
what we're going to do
is you're going to open it up
and you're going to take
your first impressions.
Like, and you're going to,
we're going to record two numbers. We're going to record two numbers.
We're going to record from one to five,
one being the shittiest, five being the best.
And this will make sense later.
Open it up, and I want you to have your pre-taste impression.
Just write down a number.
It could be three.
It could be whatever.
And then you're going to eat a chip,
and then after you eat a chip,
write down your post-chip impression,
and then just combine those two numbers.
So if it's five and five, it's 10. If it's 3 and 4,
it's 7. Hopefully you get the idea.
Pre, post,
and first up is...
So it's
you open it up, before we take a
bite, write down the number that we have the impression
of, and then take a bite, and then
give it a number again.
Like freshness, appearance,
whatever you guys think.
Just pre.
Like, whatever metric you use to evaluate pre-eating.
Out of what?
Five.
I got the knockoff brand, Muncho.
So I'm going to, it's a lower score already.
Yeah.
Because I have a lesser quality.
I'm pre-ing this a four.
Okay.
They don't have Unchos in Canada, unfortunately.
Okay.
And then everybody, Nick and Eric, go ahead and write yours down too.
And then everybody take a bite from the chips
and then write down your post score.
Okay.
I appreciate the audience's patience in this.
I know it doesn't quite make sense yet,
but I think it'll be funny.
Oh, dear.
That's way saltier than I was expecting.
When we put it all together.
Interesting.
Salty.
Okay.
That's gone to a two for post.
I'm going to say,
yeah, I'm going to, I'll agree that two two oh wow okay once everybody has recorded their score let me know and we'll move on i'm good i'm ready to
move on and now i'm gonna now oh by the way i will say there are some uh uh two things of um
and i i apologize i had you by these two andrew there are two things of chocolate i didn't get
that part of the game finished,
so just hold on to those.
Those will be for the future.
I threw them in anyway
just because I figured we'll get to it at some point.
So what we have here is we have
Terra Sweet and Beet Potato Chips.
It's like sweet potatoes and beets.
That was what started this whole thing.
We have Blue Fuego or Blue Fire Takis,
Dill Pickle Kettle Crinkle Cut potato chips, Muddy Buddies,
which I don't think
Gavin or... I think it's
a pretty American thing. I've never heard of a Muddy Buddy.
I don't think you guys have heard of Muddy Buddies. I'm kind of excited to hear
your impressions on those. And then
Pork Rinds, Pineapple
and Ancho Chili.
So let's open up the Bagaterra
Sweet and Beat potato
chips next,
and then write down your first impression.
Oh, gosh.
Oh, dear.
What is that for?
I mean, the pre is not great.
What does that mean?
Because they're beet potato chips?
Did you put a cucumber in this?
Or is this just... I got you, you son of a bitch!
Oh my...
You've been cucumbered!
You've been cucumbered!
You didn't even see it!
It snuck right in under the radar!
You got Trojan
horsed with a cucumber. You fool.
You fool, Gavin.
Is this whole thing just for me?
Are you shitting me? It's just
you. You got a bunch of
cucumbers in there, buddy.
Bunch of cucumbers.
How did you do that?
You didn't even see it.
What do we have here, Gavin?
The unshells were on MacGuffin to get your...
They were just bog-standard potato chips
to get a baseline to trick you.
Every other...
Open up the talkies.
Open up the kettle.
Open up the money buddies.
Open up the pork rinds.
In them, you will find pieces
of one of the biggest cucumbers on Earth.
You are shitting me.
I just got a whiff of it.
And then I put my hand in and it was wet.
Are you serious?
This has been in the works for weeks.
Weeks.
Open up the Takis.
Hold on.
Hey, Gavin.
Myself and Nick received no such box
nor bag of any of these chips.
It's just me eating chips on my own?
Yes.
Yeah.
It was all a cover
to get cucumbers on your doorstep
without you knowing and to bring them in.
We recorded an entire
episode of F*** Face with
cucumber next to you and you didn't even know.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That entire episode of 133, you were cucumber adjacent the entire time.
It was sealed.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So they're all sealed.
Open up.
I was wondering why when I picked up each bag, the bottom felt like cold and wet.
And I was like, maybe it's just like the flavors
it like registered but not enough
for me to think anything strange was going on
the bottom of the bag is like
damp on each one
Andrew I'll let you this is your
this was your
masterminded
you glued them shut
no no no this is way more complicated you have no
idea gavin the journey that this has been there has been failure at every turn i came up with this
a few weeks ago shortly after we did i was thinking like how can i how can i get something
on your doorstep without you knowing and at first i was thinking like physically how could i do it
because you've the ring camera,
it's going to be difficult.
And then I thought,
oh,
I can Trojan horse you.
I'm going to put it in something that you're not expecting.
That's great.
You just,
uh,
give it a shirt.
Cucumbers.
Sneakily in there.
So originally I was,
I wanted to do it in a thing of trading cards.
You okay?
I'm just opening each bag.
These ones are blue.
Yeah. It's in all of them.
So I was going to do this
and I wanted to do it
in Mr. Bean trading cards
and have you open the packs
and every pack would have
a slice of cucumber nestled in.
And then Jeff brought up,
oh, what if we just do it
with like chips instead?
Because that is easier.
It makes sense with the thing.
And what's even better is Jeff naturally just do it with like chips instead, because that is easier. It makes sense with the thing. And what's even better is Jeff naturally
just came up with the double salted licorice.
Like it was a whole part of the show
and that would be the perfect vessel
because you're not expecting anything.
It makes sense for you to get it, to have it.
So we did the office day.
And as soon as we finished recording the office day,
I tweeted to Jeff,
I bought him a bag resealer off of amazon
i said i'm so excited for you to put the cucumber in the licorice and we're like we're gonna it's
gonna arrive tomorrow we can get this going to which jeff replied oh no i gave gavin the bag
of licorice jeff completely forgot about our entire plan of getting the liquor,
using the licorice to get to you.
So we had to pivot on the fly.
And that whole text conversation you were in was all a ruse of us being like,
have you tried these chips?
I actually love those chips.
Those are delicious.
They're fucking great.
The Terra Nova.
I'm a fan.
They're really tasty.
I can't believe the level of deception.
So, so then you want to take this because this is where it escalates
because my bag resealer kept getting delayed
and it wasn't getting to Jeff on time.
You can take this over from this point, Jeff.
Okay, so I was waiting on receiving this tool called a bag resealer
that allows you to open up like a bag of potato chips
and then reseal it, right?
Like it heats it shut.
And it was out for delivery last night.
I had the chips.
I was ready to go.
Actually, I just had those Terra chips,
and I was going to try to fit it all in that.
And then at 10 p.m., Andrew texted me,
and he was like,
I don't think the resealer's going.
It's been shipped.
It didn't make it to you today.
It got sent back to the warehouse.
It'll be out tomorrow for delivery.
What are we going to do?
And so I hit Google and I started reading and I found out that you can...
Gavin just keeps putting photos from the cucumbers. So I saw on YouTube that you can use
like a hair straightener, like a curling iron, or like a flat iron is what it's called.
use a hair straightener, like a curling iron, or like a flat iron is what it's called, a flat iron to reseal a bag of chips. So I went and grabbed Emily's flat iron. By the way, Emily, I'm sorry.
I cleaned it. I promise. Things got a little dicey for a moment, but I fixed it. And I started,
I took that pair of that bag of Terra chips, I carefully cut it open and then I tried to reseal it to see if it could be done.
And it worked kind of.
And so but I did melt some some of the bag and stuff and it wasn't perfect.
And but then Emily texted me and she was like, I was like, hey, just let me know ahead of time.
I might have ruined your thing.
And she was like, whoa, whoa, whoa. don't you have, because I have a sous vide,
and she was like, don't you have that thing that sucks the air out and then seals it
to put steaks and stuff in?
And I was like, oh my god, I do.
You don't have to use the air suck thing.
You can just use the seal.
And so I tried that on a bag of chips, and it worked.
And I was like, oh my god, this is amazing.
It looked professional.
So then I started cutting up the cucumber and as i started to dump it into the bag of of uh beet chips it made the bag of potato
chips weigh like 80 pounds and i was like there's fucking there's no way i'm gonna hand him a 27
pound bag of potato chips and have him not you know have him uh uh fall for that so what i did was i
next to me for like two hours i sliced up i sliced up all the cucumbers as thin as i could with a
mandolin which which broke and didn't work or the dam so i ended up just kind of half-assing that
and then i put them all in the oven on the lowest setting for like a half an hour to try to
evaporate all the water because I figured most of the cucumbers water weight, right?
So then I got them kind of, I got them drier and then I tried to soak and press all the
water out to get them as light as possible.
Then I realized that still wasn't light enough.
So I ran to the store and I bought as many weird kind of potato chips as I could find.
All the, all that other stuff I bought like two hours
ago. I bought it an hour before I went to your house.
And I brought it back and then I carefully opened
them all up. By the way, I filmed all of this on
my phone for you guys. And I
filmed it so the angles are
terrible.
Unusable. Anyway, so I filmed
all this and then I got all the potato chip bags
home. I opened them all up. I evenly
split out the cucumber into
the different bags. We sealed them all
stuck them in a bag was still
worried that you weren't going to fall
for it. So then I added in the gift
of the shit from the apple orchard because I've been
meaning to give that to you guys for months as like
a combo thing to try to make it all make sense
and then I told
and then I got on Slack and I said
this is the plan for today
I need to make sure everybody has the same
address that they did last time I went to your houses
and then Nick was like oh no I moved
and pretended to give me his new address
all as subterfuge to further
convince Gavin that this was a real event
everything surrounding this seemed
so legit
I can't believe it
I can't believe it Jeff and i were on a discord call earlier today
yeah jeff was so giddy showing me like all of the bags he had and like the it was great yeah i can't
wait to see the video i did a video call with andrew to show him the whole process and how it
worked and all because i wanted you know so unfortunately this is his this is andrew's prank obviously and i'm just i'm just his proxy agent and so he clearly gave you the the cucumber
while he was in austin right obviously i also did one one dumb thing i went to the store and i bought
uh when i bought the cucumbers i bought three uh and as i'm checking out uh actually as i've
checked out and i'm walking to my car,
Andrew texts me and goes,
hey, be sure to get the smallest cucumber they have.
It'll be easier to hide.
And I went, oh, fuck.
I bought the three biggest cucumbers in the store.
I don't know why.
Yeah, I don't know why you did that either.
A big cucumber is funnier.
I asked if you'd put cucumbers in this
because they look like really fancy chips.
I was like, oh, there's like other veg in here.
I really only said that as a joke.
And then you were like, yeah, take it.
Take the cucumbers.
I was like, oh my God.
Also, the two things of chocolate, they were there to cover a chocolate bar that didn't work.
I took like a gross kind of chocolate and I got a mandolin
and I shaved it down
until it was really thin, except
it broke in half, so I had to super glue
it back together.
When they hide like a flask in a bible or a gun
or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So what I did was I layered the top
of the chocolate bar with cucumber
and then sealed it back up,
but when I went to go put it in your bag,
it had leaked through and it was very
clearly tampered with. So I had
to just pivot and throw that away.
Luckily, that was from a different
cucumber. So good.
I had cucumbers in my
hands without realizing.
Yeah, dude. Lots of them.
Oh my god. So many.
By the way, these are my
final scores.
Jeff, when you showed me the cucumber you bought,
it looked like the mallet that
a caveman would have in a cartoon.
I've never seen a bigger cucumber in my
life. It was massive.
Oh, that was so good.
Nick said he wasn't sure how far this bit was going,
so he was writing down fake numbers.
Like if I called for the scores, it would be legit.
I have been on pins and needles all fucking day for this moment.
Just praying you would fall for it.
The Trojan crisps.
Trojan crisps. So, Trojan crisps.
Dirty. So it's what?
It's 1-0. I'm up. That's 1-0.
I'm on the scoreboard. Yep. I'm ready.
Prepared. Don't have my paintball
gun anymore, but I got things set up.
I should be irritated. I should be frustrated.
I'm so impressed.
I just can't believe it.
And I should just go with my gut.
There were a few tiny little things that just registered as like, oh, that's a bit. And I just can't believe it. And I should just go with my gut. There were a few tiny little things that just registered as like,
oh, that's a bit.
And I just didn't follow through.
Oh, what were they?
What were the things that you're like, huh?
Well, the first thing that we were doing a crisped bit
that somehow isn't the other crisps thing we're doing.
I was like, how is this suddenly snuck in?
But it didn't register.
I didn't want to kill a bit or anything.
So I was like, okay, we're doing this.
And then the cold, wet feel of the bags
just registered a little
hint of like, oh, that feels a bit weird,
but I guess I've never had these chips
before.
I'd also
like to point out... It stinks in here, by the way.
Oh, no.
Gavin, I am an independent agent. I am not
aligned with Andrew.
I am a
free agent available for anybody.
I'm just as willing to help you get back at Andrew or Eric.
What's your availability towards the end of the month?
I'll be available.
I'm around.
He's a free agent to help you get back at Andrew,
the guy we can't go visit, get to in any way,
and also he bought a paintball gun for protection.
I returned it.
I returned it.
Yeah.
On the record, return the paintball gun.
I would just also like to say, even though Jeff is applying a service to you, I'd highly recommend Jeff, Kevin.
Even though it's against me.
Great service.
Really?
Five stars.
Really keen?
Fantastic.
Fun to work with.
Just all around.
Great, great use of service.
Did you by any chance pour an extra bucket of salt into these unchos?
Or is that what they taste like?
No, that's just what they taste like.
The unchos weren't opened or tampered with in any way.
They were meant...
I just wanted to get a little bit into the joke before the reveal.
They were designed for that.
And as a hilarious callback to the alphabet contest.
Oh, man.
That couldn't have gone better.
The way that we fell into this being like six bags of chips
was originally just going to be the bag of licorice.
All of the blunders, I feel, just made it better, ultimately.
It added, we had to work so much harder
to try to sell the deception that was going to occur.
I still don't have the bag resealer that Andrew bought me.
It should, and actually, it said it was delivered. Oh, it probably was delivered while we were recording. That was going to occur. I still don't have the bag resealer. That Andrew bought me.
It said it was delivered.
It was delivered while we were recording.
Absolutely.
It's probably outside your door right now.
But your thing was so much better.
I love that.
I didn't know you had one of those.
It's so much more convenient to use. Than the little resealer.
It worked like a charm too.
It worked great.
Gavin never noticed the seal. It was the wetness. It worked. It worked like a charm too. It worked great. Gavin never
noticed the seal. It was the wetness.
It was the cold and the wetness that kind of lured him.
There was nothing visually about it, it sounds like,
that made you suspicious, Gavin,
that they were tampered with.
Yeah, and they opened
pretty easily, but I didn't really think anything
of that either.
There you go. That was flawless
from beginning to end.
Kevin, I hate
tricking you.
I'm sorry, but I had to.
So you weren't
driving around.
You just drove
to me and then went home.
I sent a text
and said like,
all right, I'm going to
go out and drive
to everybody's house
now and make the rounds.
And then I just sat
and played Jim's War for a minute until I thought enough time had passed.
And then I just drove to your house and back.
Yeah.
So how giddy were you for the entire last recording?
Were you just so excited?
Oh, it was amazing.
I thought we'd get to it pretty fast.
And then the episode just kept going and going.
And then I thought, it's even funnier if we don't get to it
are there some in the dipped
banana bites? no they're a
MacGuffin too okay only because
I couldn't figure out how to open and reseal that without you
seeing it I was gonna say because that's like a tear open
so yeah I couldn't do it
that's yep
I was like that wouldn't work I about
halfway through the last episode I realized
this is so much funnier
if you would record an entire episode without knowing.
So I just tried to stretch the cooking thing
as long as I could to make sure that we would wrap up
and go to the next one.
You guys are getting really good at this.
I do want to point out that me and Nick
were only just asked to play along.
Had no idea what was happening or why that it was a cucumber involvement.
It was just Jeff going, hey, pretend like you got this.
And it was me and Nick going, you got it.
No hesitation.
No idea why.
Yeah, I looped them in with as little information as possible an hour before the podcast
started and just said cone of silence i need you guys to just go along with this i'm telling
pretend that you got this bag and then i even said like i even like as i'm trying to i'm trying
to do like the quentin tarantino thing in reservoir dogs where you make the lie so believable right
uh like he's talking about pissing with the drug dog so i was like eric i didn't have a bag for you so i had to use a box like i was just like throwing out bullshit details that make no sense
i think yeah when you go back and listen i think there's going to be like a lot of little
suggestions from us of like what's going to come in our excitement of it
i i literally huffed the bag it smelled weird and then i looked at the cucumbers
oh these are interesting oh my god i'm so slow on the uptake oh they're and this went through so many iterations too
like there's gonna be a real sneaky i thought about you having something for a while and then
doing a fake cucumber thing where i got caught so you would not expect that you already had the
cucumber in your possession.
There were layers. This went through a lot of
iterations of planning. I was also terrified
you would answer the door and I wouldn't be able to keep
a straight face. So I was really hoping
that I wouldn't run into you
when I dropped off the bag.
Yeah, you wouldn't have enough
time.
I was bouncing
off the walls with excitement
there would have been no way to hide it
was there you think there's a glee
in just your appearance Jeff when
leaving it at the door
do you think there's a visual
joy that can be
you should evaluate that footage
tell if Jeff seems like
happier than normal
I blew him a kiss
whenever he drops something off.
I blew him a kiss on the camera.
Oh, okay.
All right, Gavin Ball's in your court, buddy.
And I'm back on the market,
just for the record.
Yeah.
Contract has ended.
Highly recommend.
I'm going to be hiring, I think.
It stinks of like soggy salt,
cucumber,
and like Vancouver child kicker beer mat.
Rug.
What's your oxygen level right now?
Is that okay?
Whatever your scan was before?
Yeah.
How are you doing with that?
Oh, dear.
That might have helped us, actually.
It could have.
Yeah, maybe that's some of the freshness of the cucumber. It might have affected my intelligence. us, actually. It could have. Yeah, maybe that's sort of affected my intelligence.
Oh, no.
Is that lethal?
Is that high?
Is that a lethal amount?
That's pretty high.
It's 300 outside.
Oh, no.
You gotta get a plant or something.
Did you also pump CO2 into my room
before you delivered it?
No.
I will say that's the one thing I was bummed about
is the bags deflate when you open them,
and I wish that I'd had compressed air or something
that I could have tried to shoot into it
to puff it back up.
That'll be how I improve next time.
Yeah.
Maybe like a bike pump?
I don't know.
Yeah.
Just like a can of compressed air.
Just be like,
I could,
I could seal it up 99% of the way.
Just have the little thing,
the little tube in there
and just like hit it
and then seal it.
I bet.
Oh man.
I thought,
I was worried with the whole,
you know,
me taking the photos in Austin
with the cucumber.
I thought you'd be on high alert,
Gavin.
So I was worried about that as well.
No.
I just never for a second expected...
That was so good.
My guard was fully down.
I wasn't
suspicious at all.
Oh, man.
And would you say that now your guard's gonna be higher?
Oh, yeah. Absolutely.
Because I'm in the lead. I've secured it.
We don't have long to go. Plus, we we said I don't remember if this was in the episode or not
Or if this is something we talked about later any failed attempt you cannot try again until 10 days later
So you're almost running up to a point where you can only get one attempt. We're getting close
Let's just sneak in an attempt right before Christmas
Almost already done it Unless he's already done it.
Unless he's already done it.
Have you checked your door recently?
No, I haven't.
Not going to, because there's nothing there.
Not worried about it.
0% chance.
I'm going to let everybody know right now,
if you send me anything,
Jeff, Gavin, for Christmas,
it is not entering my home until after the holidays.
Everything, I'm viewing every item as a potential cucumber.
I'm not doing cucumbers for you, am I?
These are Monopoly money.
No, you're doing Monopoly money.
You're right, yeah.
I forgot it wasn't a cucumber.
It was Monopoly money.
I'm not, oh, fuck, I can't do anything about that, can I?
Because you're putting it to the door.
There's no stealth.
Oh, fuck.
Yeah, it's just going to be on your door.
It's going to be screwed to your door. Yeah.
What were you going to do with the paintball
gun? Were you going to shoot the cucumber away?
No, I can
see the entire lead to my
door from a balcony on my
room, and I was going to shoot down at him
so I wouldn't have to chase him. Yeah.
But then I felt bad about it, so I returned
it.
So I wouldn't have to chase him.
Yeah.
But then I felt bad about it.
So I returned it.

that's the powerful backing of american express visit amex.ca slash ymx benefits vary by card
terms apply well i uh i got nothing else that's been occupying most of my brain space
for the last couple days.
Although I will say we did some discussion.
We had some discussions about the Gerpler
and going forward,
gerping forward,
what to do.
I wanted to...
I proposed an idea to...
We should talk about Andrew, I believe.
I can't remember who I talked to anymore.
Yeah, we're talking.
Right, right.
I wanted to see what you guys thought about this.
So first off,
a lot of the reason we do the limited merch is because uh we can't hold stuff in inventory
forever uh and it's uh it's expensive to do that um and so we try to do limited runs where we sell
out everybody gets one and then we move on to the next thing. I do think a Gerpler, upon reflection, and especially how much I use it now, it's become
like my primary means of chug is through the Gerpler.
And I don't want people to be deprived of the opportunity to get a Gerpler.
So I feel like that should be maybe an evergreen product that we always have in store in some
way.
But because we've already released them, if we're going to put out another version, I'd like to make in store in some way but because we've already released them if we're
going to put out another version i'd like to make them different in some way uh and so we talked
about doing a blind box this is a idea andrew and i came up with we talked about doing maybe
blind box gerblers where you could get either a green one or a purple one or maybe some other
color uh and it's just like random you don't know what you get till you open it up but also what if there were 10 golden gerblers that are randomly inserted uh because i don't
know if you know that but like when you go sometimes when you go to pizza hut some it's
usually a red glass sometimes it's clear sometimes it's kind of like a gold color like if we could
get and release 10 golden gerblers into the wild. Super rare, super random.
If we made like a thousand Gerblers
there would be 10. So it'd be very rare.
It'd be very low chances of you
getting one. But if you drew
a golden Gerbler, I was thinking it would be
really fun if we included
in the bottom of the Gerbler, just like in the glass.
Factory tour?
Factory tour? That was sort of the
thought. Yeah, the Charlie, the golden ticket
is definitely an inspiration for that.
I referred to it as the Wu-Tang album
that Martin Shkreli bought, but what if
it includes, in the golden
GURP, a little USB drive that has a special
like 10 minute episode of
F*** Face that only exists on
that drive, and you can only get it by
getting the golden GURPLER.
I like the idea. that's such a ridiculously
custom piece of content yeah and then it's like if the people who get it want to upload it that's
fine it's their it's their content they can do whatever the fuck they want to whether they can
release it if they want to and share it with the world or they can hold on to it and you got like a
one in ten chance of like if somebody gets it uh you know that you got 10 options or 10 opportunities
for people to release it if they want to and then it would be like non-canon we could it could just even be
about that it could be about who knows we could come up with something we could even do like a
little scripted thing or whatever but it would just be like a special treat if you draw the
golden gerbler you get it with it a special episode of should be on cassette or something
could be could be we could do eight track cassette whatever
Should it be on cassette or something?
Could be.
Could be.
We could do 8-track, cassette, whatever.
Golden cup.
It's going to be so stupid.
I just want them available at all times because I would love to replace every cup I have with the Gerbler.
I love it so much.
As you said, Jeff, it has become my primary cup.
Yeah.
It's fantastic.
I think we should do the soda chug from them.
Yeah, definitely. we need to do
that as well maybe next
time we do it this time if
you want I mean yeah you
got already well I do but
I don't I have a can of
soda you have to have a
can of soda in your house
I don't know if I do come
on I might I'll look
maybe one second Eric do
you have one do I have a
can of soda or a gopil I don't think I have a go you have one? Do I have a can of soda? Or a Gerpler?
I don't think I have a Gerpler here, but I do have a can of soda.
Well, I mean, we've done that.
All right.
Sorry, man.
Did you participate last time?
Yeah. Yeah.
Everyone did.
Everybody did.
Yeah, okay.
So there's no reason to do that again.
Yeah.
Right.
No, I don't. Yeah yeah i don't i don't
think i have any soda right now that's mind blowing i'll get one why am i a soda guy to you
oh yeah big time yeah i mean really yeah you seem like a soda guy to me totally fascinating
i don't i'm looking at an empty can of coke on my desk from last night. Okay, so you are a soda guy.
Yeah, I guess I am.
Yeah, I enjoy.
I'd say I'm more a beverage guy than a soda guy.
We all said you were a soda guy and you were like so taken back by it.
And now it's like, oh, yeah, I'm a soda guy.
What?
Well, that I would have always have a soda on hand is what was.
You've got one.
I don't think that's true.
On a different floor. And you know it. No, I don't. I know you don well. You've got one. I don't think that's true on a different floor And you know it
No, I don't know you don't like changing floors
No, I don't so that I got that empty coke can that was the last soda in your house last night
That was the last missed it by 12 hours
We missed it by 12 hours, and I'm an idiot because I talked about doing it prior to I should have drank that
I should have saved it
We I mean we could start with Jeff today and each do one in a different episode
Like I can do them when I get my go that's a fun I you think so but then it's like we're
dragging I don't want it to be like the icy hot thing or we do it like four
times like I'd rather like the soda chug that we did for time I don't think we
need eight of these like I'd rather sync up if that's that's all right so we'll
all go vision does everybody have access to a gurp lure that they can have I'd rather sync up if that's okay. That's fair. All right. So we'll all... He's got a vision.
Does everybody have access to a Gerbler that they can have available next time?
I don't have one.
What are you talking about?
How do you not have one?
You're leading this.
You don't have a Gerbler.
No, I've never...
What are you saying?
I don't have any of the recent stuff.
Dude, go to work and get your mail.
It's at the office waiting for you.
I guarantee you it's i assure you
it's not it has to be after every podcast i go in there there's nothing do you not have a switch
fuck this i do but it's because you put it in my hand and give it to me oh oh that's right i did
okay with a bunch of licorice i feel like we went through this in the past where you're like ah
nothing nowhere the mail i never get it anywhere and then eric brought you like 25 bags of face merch yeah i think we've done this yeah it's there cool
this is it's just like andrew who is not a soda guy but has a soda gavin doesn't get any of the
merch but he gets all the merch all right look i haven't got any merch since that big hole
are you saying there's another big pile of Of course. What do you mean? Where is it, though? Because I go in there every week.
Walk in, look to the right, find your name.
It's written out.
There's nothing by my name.
Telling you.
Dude, I don't even...
Mine's worse.
I get a notification from Slack
every time I get a piece of mail addressed to me,
and then I go into that room,
and there is no Jeff section. There's a F***face section where I get a piece of mail addressed to me. And then I go into that room and there is no Jeff section.
There's a section
where I get all the face stuff
and I leave it there
until we're going to do a break shit
or whatever, and then we grab it all.
But the Jeff's,
the Jeff section doesn't exist.
And I've never seen the Jeff mail.
I don't know where it goes,
but it doesn't go to me.
Maybe they're keeping our stuff
aside somewhere.
I've I'm looking at the text conversation
that you that we all had
on Tuesday night. Yeah.
Or Tuesday afternoon. It's so long.
Just to set up doing the chip thing.
It starts with you saying
are either of you Beats guys?
So you could specifically talk about those Terra chips.
Yeah. What was the text conversation
right before that? Why don't you run through it?
I mean, we could all play our parts.
Okay. Well, I'll just say
before you even
get that or text between Jeff
and I figuring out like what chips sound
weird that you wouldn't have had
do you want to read your messages out and then we'll read the other one
sure we can do that
let me pull up my phone
people listening just remember all of this is
bollocks yeah this was just
to fuck with you
can't believe it
I'm gonna start here my paranoia really dipped it's crazy how Yeah, this was just to fuck with you. Can't believe it.
I'm going to start here.
My paranoia really dipped.
It's crazy how just time will do that.
I'm going to start here.
The resealer arrives at your place tomorrow.
We get hit Gavin with his cucumber and licorice bag on Thursday.
Okay, okay, okay, yeah, yeah.
I go, yeah, dude.
Oh, shit.
I'm so excited.
I gave it to him today.
Eric told me to. Ah, I forgot. What? Why? How? Jeff? Ha, ha, dude. Oh, shit. I'm so excited. I gave it to him today. Eric told me to.
Ah, I forgot.
What?
Why?
How?
Jeff.
I'm so dumb.
I was distracted with the fireplace talk.
Just this is just a wrinkle.
So now and just for context to this comment, we almost did the licorice thing on the office day and I kept being like, no, later, later.
We'll do it later.
We'll do it later. Because that was the whole that was going to be the vessel. I like, no, later, later. We'll do it later. We'll do it later because that was the whole
that was going to be the vessel. I said, that's
why I kept pushing it to do it later. And I
went, yeah, that makes sense.
You were like, oh, it should be in an episode.
It should be in an episode.
Whenever you have a strong opinion,
I should be suspicious.
Hey, why don't you want to chug soda today?
Oh, that's a good point.
Why don't you?
Andrew said, that's so funny.
And I said, I'm so mad at myself.
What is another candy or chip?
And I said, there are so many bits we have in the air to remember at all times.
This could be a real easy fix.
And I said, we'll be together again for the fireplace.
I could sneak something into his camera bag.
No, it has to be on his porch.
Do you have a cucumber? And I said, I have an idea. no it has to be on his porch do you have a cucumber and
I said I have an idea
I'm gonna go buy one
now well getting one
maybe pop into the
chipper candy aisle
look for something
disgusting doing so
oh one other thing
uh I gave everyone
apple related gifts in
Michigan I can drop
those off on his door
too and pretend it's a
part of the the whole
deal then I could say
in our group text I
found something that
might be worse than the
licorice and you could be like I'm literally grocery shopping right now I could say in our group text, I found something that might be worse than the licorice.
And you could be like,
I'm literally grocery shopping right now.
I'll pick one up for you, Gavin.
And then I sent him a picture of cucumbers
and then the banana thing
and then the terror chips.
I like Jeff sent me a photo of cucumbers
and I replied,
I'd go with the smallest,
which he completely ignored.
I just missed it.
Yeah, I missed it.
And you said the problem is the seal I don't think we can fake
a resealable bag yeah
that's sort of the heart of it and then we could go back
to now our group text
yeah and then the group text that's gonna
take forever to scroll through I don't know if this is
this entertaining to go through these
is this well I think it
puts out the extent of bullshit
that you've laid down like the tracks of shite yeah and then yeah this was just the three of us
didn't have eric or nick in it at all which is why they didn't know about it uh it starts with
andrew's uh either of you beats guys yeah are either of you beats guys no when you said no i
was so excited gavin that's like fuck yeah I'm still waiting for mine
to load or either of you just said I love beets I said I just had the worst chip of my life and
I know I haven't tried the licorice but you guys got to try this uh and I said I love beets I had
beets oh no I see yeah I said are they like potato chips meanwhile I had already bought them
yeah it's like sliced dried beet with seasoning.
And I said, have you guys ever eaten
enough beets to turn your pee red?
No, but I didn't expect more pee research.
And I said, we should
have a red pee off someday, which I still
agree with. I see how red we can make
our pee by eating a bunch of beets.
I still have the same issue of I don't know how we track that
and measure it and share it.
I don't want to see
your pee though. Well, it looks like red
blood. It won't look like
that makes it better. I have a
clean toilet. It'll be fine. No, I'd rather not
see your blood or pee.
And then I pulled a screw
grab of the chip that just showed me and I said it's these
fucking things. I like other Terra chips, but those
are absolute garbage. I love all Terra chips. They're all great.
And I said, I'll try to grab some later today.
I got to go.
Yeah, Millie was six.
I said, I got to go to the store to get her some chicken soup anyway.
You said sounds good.
I said, let me know if anyone has any other gross foods to get.
I'm trying to get Gavin engaged in the conversation.
Because I figure when he starts responding, we'll have him on the hook.
And then we can burrow in.
You just talked for ages.
And my phone was going apeshit
and I just looked at it
like right at the end
of the conversation.
So I'm like fishing
and I said like,
what do you guys think
the strongest flavors are?
Probably cheese.
And then we had this
whole conversation
about garlic and cheese
and versatile foods.
This goes on for a while.
Buffalo sauce
and then I said anchovy.
Then you fucking, you showed, and then I said anchovy? Then you fucking
showed up, and then
it was gone.
I said olives are first.
And then we had a whole conversation about...
It was a whole thing. Then I pivoted.
My goal was to keep it going in different directions
so it didn't feel too focused.
So, like, I got off on
muffaletta sandwiches for a while, which you guys
have never had, but they're fucking delicious by the way
I've had one like olives yeah they're amazing
fuck you
that was so
genuine
yeah and then that went on for a long
long time you said the muffaletta is the worst sandwich
on the planet I was offended and then
you ate cucumbers fantastic
cucumbers on my
porch
in your hands in your you ate cucumbers. Fantastic. Cucumbers on my porch.
In your hands. In your room right now. You carried them up. On my
lap. On your lap.
Sitting there. Cold. Didn't even know.
And slightly damp against my lap.
That's interesting because
the problem I had earlier
was that the bags got real hot because
I had put the, because I
cooked them in the oven for like 30 minutes
And I thought oh my God these bags are hot
I'm glad they cooled down
Nothing suspicious about these hot bag of chips
I could just imagine the steam coming off of them what do you?
That was great.
Thank you so much for your help, Jeff.
What a fantastic series of events.
Yeah, that turned out really well.
That was the exact opposite of a salad cream, for sure.
Couldn't have been further from salad cream.
100%. I don't know what the opposite of a salad cream is.
Have we ever determined that?
No, I don't think so.
We can add.
Maybe that's what this is.
You chipped it.
You chipped it?
I think we could have work.
We'll come up with something.
We'll workshop it, yeah.
Absolutely.
What else you guys got going on?
Not much.
I'm on the fence about going into the process
of the cucumber photos,
but I don't know if I should wait to go into detail
on that whole
saga.
It's kind of nice because the cucumber...
There might be a last act. Maybe I should
save it. Should I save it or should I go into it?
I don't know. I think there's going to be a last
act if Gavin's going to try to enact revenge
on you. I mean, you...
It seems that you both don't think
I was in Austin. Like, definitively.
You both strongly believe that. Don't say both. I think there's four of us here that don't think I was in Austin. Like definitively, you both strongly believe that.
Don't say both.
I think there's four of us here that don't think you were in Austin.
Nobody here thinks I was in Austin?
The forensics were done.
None of you?
Just to verify, nobody thinks I was in Austin?
Yeah.
So then how would I have gotten the photos?
What would be the...
I don't understand.
Like you're the only person that can hold up a cucumber what would be the what would the friend where did they don't understand like what like like
you're the only person that can hold up a cucumber at the austin sign like i okay so
i was just so the thing would be that i wasn't there but i had somebody in my place yeah no
yeah the way that jeff are you joking i'm asking. This has been a very angry year for Eric.
This is insane.
Because it is-
Just the last couple of weeks.
Because it's so-
This is like so insulting to our intelligence.
Well, no, I'm just asking.
I like the fact that Eric clearly hasn't known Andrew for as long as we have,
so we just expect this to-
Wild.
Just asking.
Just asking.
Oh, so yeah.
Oh, how do you guys think
I did this
he's just curious
and he's just gonna dump something in the chat
just let him do it
no I don't have anything to drop in the chat
oh I was just trying to decide
I really thought you were keying up
I thought someone was coming
what are you gonna drop in the chat
I don't know what they thought I was gonna drop in the chat
I have nothing to drop in the chat? I don't know what they thought I was going to drop in the chat.
I have nothing to drop in the chat.
I thought you were going to drop a photoshopped into someone else's
picture and ask them.
Should I just go...
Because it was a whole...
I'm not going to just reveal...
Okay.
This is what I'm going to do.
I can't imagine
being a listener of this podcast and having
to listen to what Andrew is saying right now
like people have to be screaming
at their phones they have to be
they have to be there's no way that
people are just going ah and I'll wait
patiently for the answer people must be
fucking screaming
at their phones
I think everyone's happy first of all
I'm in a great mood i'm screaming with joy yeah this
has been a lot of fun i don't feel i was i'll say i wasn't in austin sadly i wish i was i don't want
to give up the person who assisted me with this unless i know they're okay with it so i'm gonna
have to i'll slack them and i'll get back to you guys well you by saying slack you tell us who it was
someone who works for us no
yeah
no I clearly I bet it was no
Jack is who it was go back and listen
whenever I always use slack
to refer to messaging someone
whenever I go back and look the audience
especially when you're using slack
yeah I slack
someone you know that's no no chatting
when i'm sending a text you know the way i say i slacked you yeah whenever i text someone i'm
always like i slacked them that's the thing i'm trying to see there's no there's no hand skin
that's i want to see any of these pictures i want to see andrew dig himself out of this beanhole
he's just put himself in no i i you know i use slack as message all the time it
doesn't have to be slack no you i think someone is hiding their hands because they know that you
can recognize someone by their hands we're just gonna move on it's fine we'll talk about this
later i guess is uh worse slack them about it and then um in a general sense not necessarily
use the platform slack right and if i approval, I'll say who it was.
Was it Greg from Finance?
No, I don't. I'll say it's not
Greg from Finance.
They might not even be on our Slack.
You know, I use... Wait, hang on.
So now it's on
Slack, just not on our Slack.
Uh, no.
I don't have any other Slack.
Well, maybe I do. Actually, actually wait maybe i do have multiple flags
wait a second after all that build up you don't even have this ready to go you got to talk to
someone well i i didn't plan on i didn't know where i didn't listen to the the research that
was done i didn't know where everyone was at with it i wanted to feel the room and obviously
there's a sense i came clean i wasn't in austin as much as I'd like to be, but I'm not going to just give up this person who helped me
out of kindness of their heart to pull this off.
What about making sure they're okay with it?
I feel like I've accidentally given that away already.
We're going to move on.
We'll settle this with them.
And then,
then we'll talk about it next time.
If it is Jack,
that's because then he would have
gone to that instead of all of the do you guys have your trees up yet i still need to put my
christmas tree up i mean i will say yeah you have five on your counter i will say if it was jack
it's nice to see him being useful yeah i just said it's nice to see it being useful that's a that's an unnecessary
dick actually that's a no no it's no it's not an unnecessary dick no i don't think it's unnecessary
i think it's fucking on point i don't know what to say in this situation
i'm gonna be quiet until we switch subjects so I just don't so so it's someone on slack
It's someone we work with and they went so out of their way to help you do this insane thing. Here's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna message
Everyone on slack. I know it was you. Yep. There you go. And one person will reply
And that's how you find out. How do you message every single person?
You don't you can only message eight at a time and that's in groups. I out. How do you message every single person? You don't. You can only message eight at a time, and that's in groups.
I don't know how to message everyone.
You can just go.
You can go in the general Slack, and you can just post it there.
I can't even type in that one.
They don't let me post.
I'm just imagining Gavin going to the biggest Slack group and saying I know it was you. But here's
the thing. Andrew is
telling his little
helper
not to reply.
See, this is, you can't
trust this.
I also don't know why he's not just talking
about it. That's the weirdest part to me.
What is there to hide at this point?
What if it was Nick?
I don't think Nick would drive downtown
to do that.
Nick has a kid. He's got responsibilities.
He's got responsibilities. He couldn't do it.
I'll talk to the person and then we could, you know,
maybe I'll reveal this.
I'm not going to throw someone under the bus.
I don't want to throw someone under the bus.
We didn't talk about that. I thought, you know,
everyone would just think I was in Austin. That was my plan.
Hang on.
You thought that everyone thought you were in Austin for real?
That was the plan, yeah.
It was just everyone would think I was in Austin,
and I'd go with that.
I never considered the possibility of having to say I wasn't in Austin.
I didn't talk about that with them.
In what world do you think you were tricking us?
Right?
That was plan A, and there was no plan B.
I didn't consider...
I didn't consider any other scenarios.
Plan A is that we would believe you were here?
Yeah, because I had all the photos.
Did anyone, for a single second no even
entertain the idea that you could set foot here no no no that was a miscalculation on my part
listen some plans go great the cucumber went really well that one that we're talking about
right now wasn't we didn't exactly go as i thought it would go. I will say, Andrew,
this would be the absolute perfect time
to throw an image of you
actually being in Austin
in the subreddit or the Slack
or the Discord or whatever the fuck it would be.
And then go,
just kidding, it was me.
I tricked you again.
That would be awesome.
So if you can do that right now,
you will 100,000% redeem yourself.
You also have pictures of you in Austin, I assume,
from the past.
No.
I don't have a single photo of me in Austin.
What about the one of you and Gavin
at the fucking pinballs?
Oh, yeah.
I guess that does exist,
but that's already been used.
That probably wouldn't work if I was in the photo.
Although, to be fair, I did forget that I was next to him once before that's true that's how sneaky i am
oh man well i uh put a nice ball on this in the future i have a very my you know how i have that
like annoying double tap tv thing where i can't i have to turn my tv off twice yeah anytime i have a new annoying thing that's going on in my life that makes it's
been going for like three weeks now and i want to fucking murder somebody for it i'm so angry
you know i i have uh i have hulu that's how i watch uh that's how i watch the real housewives
franchises that i watch beverly hills potomac
and salt lake city are the three that i'm into right uh right now beverly hills on hiatus
obviously uh everybody knows that uh but salt lake city and potomac are going strong and so
every wednesday i watch salt lake city every sunday i watch potomac with emily there is this
thing happening now on Hulu where,
and I have like the,
we have like the Hulu plus or whatever.
So you get live TV through it.
So we get like all,
all of our TV through it,
um,
which is essentially like cable.
I don't know why we just don't have cable still.
Uh,
so I have this thing happening where when it starts to record a new episode of Potomac or Salt Lake City, it records it and I go to play it.
If it's still recording or if it's just recorded at any point in time, the day the episode comes out, it's a black screen.
Then the next day it works what and it's only it's only potomac and it's only salt lake city
it's no other shows that i watch it's no other shows that i record it's not even other bravo
shows because those both are on the bravo channel because i watch real uh mediterranean uh below
deck and a bunch of other stuff. But it is only
those two Real Housewives shows.
So like last night, I laid in bed with
Emily for 45 minutes trying
to trick Hulu into letting me
see the show that I recorded.
And I just couldn't. And it'd be
fine because I have Peacock 2, but
they don't show it on Peacock till the
next day, which is when it works on the fucking
Hulu anyway. And so I feel like the goddamn Hulu people
are trying to stage an intervention with me
where they don't want me watching fucking Potomac
and Salt Lake City until the next day.
And you might say to yourself, wait a day.
That's not a big deal.
Here's why it's a big deal.
A, I pay for it.
B, I want to watch it when it comes out.
And C, I listen to celebrity gossip and Real Housewives podcasts.
And they do recaps the next day.
And I got to get up in the morning on Thursday morning.
And my normal routine is to listen to Danny Pellegrino talk about all the funny shit that happened on Housewives the night before.
And I can't fucking do that until tomorrow now.
I couldn't listen to Danny Pellegrino today because it would have spoiled the whole goddamn show.
I couldn't listen to Heather MacDonald today.
I couldn't listen to any of it
because they'll talk about the goddamn episode last night
that I could only hear I couldn't watch.
How about this?
Watch it live?
I can't watch it live.
It's black.
Oh, it's like even-
Oh, it happens in the live feed.
Yes!
I thought it was-
Oh, that's funny. Can I ask you! I thought it was... Oh, that's funny.
Can I ask you just...
I thought it was just on the recording.
No, I tried The Real Housewives of Salt Lake,
and it just...
I didn't like it all that much.
Would Potomac...
Would that work for me, you think?
Are they different enough, or...
Incredibly different.
Okay, I'll give that a shot for you.
If you're gonna try...
All right, here's the deal.
If you're gonna watch Potomac,
watch this season.
I will.
OK, I'll hop into this season.
I'll hop into this season.
And if you're going to do it,
it's not far in.
I like I'll be honest with you, dude.
These shows are they take a little bit.
It takes a little bit of time,
a little bit investment on your part
to understand the dynamics
of the people involved
and how they all work together.
If you stick with Potomac and I won't recommend Salt Lake City this year. I'm actually not a huge fan of this season of Salt Lake City. I think, well, I don't want to. I don't. Sure.
People get in trouble for talking shit about certain housewives. I'm not going to do it,
but I'm not a huge fan of some of the people on that show this year who I used to be a fan of.
But Potomac has a fight between Mia and Wendy
in, I want to say,
like episode four or five
that is the most entertaining
and wild and craziest thing.
And it's set up,
it's set up these,
this fucking battle
that's going on
episode after episode.
So do it,
but give yourself
four or five episodes.
Get to the fight.
Get to the fight.
I'll give it a five episode run.
I'll get to the fight.
I'll give it a fair shot.
And then see.
Not to go too deep
on reality TV.
Last two episodes
of Survivor.
So good.
God damn.
God damn it.
I was my pick to win
got voted out last night.
Gavin, you haven't been
keeping up with the season.
No.
So the second
I don't feel like this is
that big of a spoiler at all
for like what matters.
They did a thing
where all the people
that were left
they gave them a thing that was like hey there's an advantage in the woods go
find it and everybody scrambled for it and what they did was they attached it because typically
it's like low down and it's like in the dirt that you have to dig through they just attached it to
the middle of a tree like lined up with everyone's sight line and it was the thing where everybody
was just walking past it being like i have no fucking idea where this thing like people were brushing their noses against
the advantage talking about how they couldn't see it it's fantastic there were people having
conversations in front of it when it was like at their eye level yes there's a here's a tip by the
way if you're ever going to go on survivor if you notice a cameraman filming you
from a certain angle and he won't he or she won't move there's a fucking there's no there's there's
something there yeah and he keeps doing like a rack focus to the yeah yeah anytime you see a
rack focus there's a there's an idol it's hilariously infuriating because it's not a brief
thing it is like a two-minute sequence of people resting their head on the advantage playing
against the tree with no concept
it's there and then just continuing on
looking for it it's great so
good and it's not like
it's not like super camouflaged or
anything it's pretty fun no it's pretty
blatant it's fantastic
it's one of the best scenes I think the show
has had in a long time just so
goddamn funny.
It reminds me of, there's a show called Crystal Maze in the UK.
It was like a, you get a certain amount of time in a room,
and if you don't get out in time, you get locked in,
and you have to get crystals and then take them to the end.
But there was one where it was like a mirrored maze,
and the crystal was at the end,
and there's this guy crawling through this mirrored tunnel,
and he gets all the way to the end with the crystal right in front of him on the floor but he reaches for it in the reflection of the mirror and just
bangs his hand on the mirror and doesn't know what to do he's just like oh and then he was running
at a time so he crawls all the way back out without getting it it was literally like under his hand
but he tried to grab the reflection version instead of the real one. And it's probably the dumbest I've ever seen someone be filmed on camera.
We should probably wrap up.
I gotta get going.
We gotta wrap up.
Yeah.
Dude, thank you.
Thank you so much

of F*** Face.

thank you for being such a good sport gavin and not holding it against me good this this was not
my fight uh i just i was just I'm just working in

You know what? Tell a friend.
Tell a friend about face.

Tell them about all the shenanigans we get up to.
Tell them about cucumbers and Wilford Brimley,
whale sharks and,
and Pope,
the fucking populaces.
And I didn't tell,

tell them about the oxygen level.
Just a CO2 level.
