Starting point is 00:00:00 Are you guys talking about like regional drinks or like regional things? Because I got one. Well, the problem is I'm trying all this bullshit that Gavin is sending that's atrocious. I'm eating the Branston pickle. I'm eating the salad cream and I need to find something canadian that i can make him eat the problem is everything's just good or like at at least like average like it's just all snack foods yeah it's like get a load of this poutine yeah about it canada dried ginger ale like the best ginger ale how what a what a terrible thing for him to experience and also
Starting point is 00:00:44 just isn't different enough than North America. The snacks are just similar. I'm searching craziest Canadian snack, and the first thing that comes up is all-dressed chips. Wow. All right, that's not... That's like the lameness of Canada. The lack of...
Starting point is 00:00:57 It's like we got all dressed. Look at us being zany. Dill pickle chips, taffy on the snow. That doesn't sound... I don't know what taffy on the snow is. I know what a snowflake bar is. I don't know what taffy on the snow is. Butter tarts, Montreal bagels.
Starting point is 00:01:13 Do you remember York bars? I haven't had a York bar in a long time. It's a York bar. They used to brand themselves as like a man's chocolate bar, and then I realized that was a mistake. That's a British thing. We didn't have that was that was a mistake and that's a british thing we didn't have that here but i i learned about it a while ago okay where it's like this is a chocolate bar for guys no women allowed yeah that's a yorkie bar not a york bar is is not a york bar
Starting point is 00:01:37 yorkie york let me look up york bar i feel like it's just york on the package also hi gavin how are you hi it's like yorkie no goes york bar uh york but if you google york bar yeah i get barbells yeah i feel like i made a mistake yeah i was thinking i search york bar and it's just a lot of bars that are like arcade bars or a place called New York Bar. Yorkie. I'm looking at a bar that says Yorkie on it. So I think they have like a no women in the O and it's like it's not women. What happens if a woman eats it?
Starting point is 00:02:17 They're not allowed to. Not allowed. What if they break the rules? Nah. They would never. That's fair. Oh, God. There it is.
Starting point is 00:02:25 Is it good? Does it taste like men's stuff? I don't know. You'll never know. I got one upstairs. It's a masculine bar. It's fine. You have one upstairs? Yeah, I imported a bunch of Yorkie about a year ago.
Starting point is 00:02:34 What did Meg think of them? Oh, shit. She doesn't even... I wouldn't even tempt her with them. Boy, you just passed that test Yeah, good job Alright, are we rolling all around? We all good to go?
Starting point is 00:02:48 Yeah I think we started a while ago, didn't we? No, I don't think so But we can start now Cats are good Why would an ape shit? Because they want to start How can I head?
Starting point is 00:02:57 Did you hear that? No No What were they doing? Oh, Smee and Q were just rolling around Like, tackling each other's heads and stuff. Do you think... Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:10 Are you okay? Is that all you got, Jeff? Are you still there, Jeff? Yeah, I'm still here. What? He's still thinking about it. What happened? I realized I said, do you think,
Starting point is 00:03:19 and then I didn't know what was behind it, and then I thought, why don't I just let you guys fill in, and then I don't want to do all the heavy lifting. So I just figured you guys would pick it up at some point. You just thought we'd take the silence and be like, that wasn't weird. And we would just continue talking. I was hoping so.
Starting point is 00:03:33 Yeah. Now, to be fair, I just assumed you had tech issues because it's you. Yeah. Yeah. That's possible. No, it checks out. Do you do that? Do you ever start a sentence to lean into something without knowing what the thing is,
Starting point is 00:03:47 and then you never find the thing? We should start the podcast before we start the sentence, though. Most of my life. We started the podcast way, like, 255. We were talking about Yorkies. What? That wasn't the podcast, surely? I'm pretty sure it was.
Starting point is 00:03:58 I'm still recording. I don't know when we started, but we definitely started. Okay. What episode is this? 51, I believe, right? 51. That means next week week the fire extinguisher uh maybe possibly you've had so many weeks to be like i gotta work stuff out gotta work stuff out yeah i do i gotta buy things gav it's not easy why don't you fucking launch a fire extinguisher if it's so easy? You deal with it. You own the place you live in.
Starting point is 00:04:26 It would make more sense for you to do it than me. What do you mean? You're really aggressive. No, I'm getting fucking harassed about fire extinguishers however many minutes into this podcast. I'm just worried about next week coming around and suddenly you're like, oh, something didn't arrive because I waited until yesterday to order a fire extinguisher catcher bag.
Starting point is 00:04:43 I know. I need a lot of things. You don't understand the level of elaborate it would take for me to set this up. I need ladders. Wood or will? Wood or will? Will is the word you want to use. I guess we'll find out next week.
Starting point is 00:04:54 I guess we'll find out next week. Do you need some chow mein? Do I need chow mein? I could always use some chow mein. There's no scenario that becomes worse with the addition of chow mein. I want to see a fire extinguisher that shoots chow mein there's no scenario that becomes worse with the addition of chow mein i want to see a fire extinguisher that shoots chow mein oh like pressurized chow mein that's one step up from the from the keurig with the noodles yeah if you could put anything in a fire extinguisher that wasn't for extinguishing fires what would you put in it what would be your go-to item whipped cream
Starting point is 00:05:23 whipped cream whipped cream whipped cream whipped cream already comes out of a pressurized can i know it's fucking awesome and i eat it straight straight out of the can three or four times a day so imagine if i don't have to if like if i have a mega size i'm not looking for a fire extinguisher that shoots anything i'm looking for a whipped cream whipped cream can the size of a fire extinguisher that i could put in my fridge. It has a nozzle that I could... Because it's heavy, right? You don't want to lift it up. So you get it wedged in there, and then you have the
Starting point is 00:05:50 little nozzle you can fucking snake it out of the fridge. That's the answer of an eight-year-old child. That's big. That's like the kid becomes Tom Hanks. He gets a vending machine and a trampoline and a giant can of whipped cream. How about you guys?
Starting point is 00:06:05 Come up with something better than that. I don't, well, what do you typically put whipped cream on? I put it on my mouth, man. I just like,
Starting point is 00:06:13 try to fill a hot chocolate, like just top it off and all the liquid shoots out because you're just blasting it at full speed. Like it wouldn't, it's not practical in any way. I love it.
Starting point is 00:06:23 You just have a cup that used to have hot chocolate and a bunch of brown shit everywhere i'd probably do something really disturbing like blood or something like my my that's horrifying who's blood needs well because i was thinking of something that would be weird but also useful in an emergency so if my blood was in it what and i needed a transfusion i can be like get that fill some cups but the splash would be it'd be traumatic to look at afterwards i don't think that's how blood transfusion works i need a lot of blood and i need it in me all at once.
Starting point is 00:07:07 Don't worry, we don't need to transfuse anything. I have this fire extinguisher of my own blood. It's just, feel free to use it. It's so powerful, it just shoots blood into your skin. That's horrifying! I like GIFs
Starting point is 00:07:22 way better. But useful? No, it's not useful. There's no way in which, there's no scenario that's horrifying. I like GIFs way better. But useful? No, it's not useful. There's no way in which there's no scenario that's useful. How long does blood keep a depression? Okay, it is useful. Oh, my God. Here's why. When I was in the Army, which I realized was a long, long time ago,
Starting point is 00:07:37 and technology's probably changed. But when I was in the Army and we went through basic training, we had to get a battery of vaccines and shots, right? Like, this is before the world was scared of vaccines again for a while. And it was like, I had to get measles, mumps, rubella, yellow fever, typhoid, tetanus, all this stuff, right? Like, and every time I had to go anywhere, I'd have to get 37 more shots, too. They'd be like, you need a malaria seven shot. And I'm like, but I got one through six last week.
Starting point is 00:08:03 And they're like, well, you're going to a malaria seven uh region right it was just constant shots in the military but in basic training they used this thing that was instead of having to deal with needles and stuff they just had this gun that shot pressurized medicine into you shit like a pressure hose like it's really powerful yeah it was like a pressure needle and they would tell you like if you move you will slice your arm open because it'll just cut through you but if you hold perfectly still it'll just it's just like a needle just like hurts the same feels the same but uh it's just like it's just like fucking pressurized so you could do something like that where you shot a bunch of pressurized blood into you all at once. There you go. I'll just put an adapter on the end of the fire extinguisher
Starting point is 00:08:46 and make it sort of needle-width. Straight in. Don't even have to wash it. It can give everyone my blood back-to-back. That sounds perfect. That is... Got to take it down to the fire department and get it recharged every six months.
Starting point is 00:08:58 Just go sit and drip into it for about eight hours. Air excess fire. I mean, that's good. I good i mean yeah it's a good one i think i'd want like peanut butter maybe jam peanut butter yeah like a thing i don't know it feels like i don't see how that would come out well it's so thick like it would be i hate using a knife just to spread peanut butter it feels like a waste for cleaning it. You know that scene in Jurassic Park where Newman from Seinfeld gets gacked on by the dinosaur and hits him in the chest? I assume the peanut butter would come out like that
Starting point is 00:09:33 in just thick balls. I have a lot of... I interact with peanut butter pretty significantly in my life on a day-to-day basis in that I have to give dogs medicine with peanut butter every day, and then I make a smoothie for my daughter, typically with peanut butter in it, and then I eat, I have my own jar of peanut, well, it's for me and the dogs, but I eat just peanut butter out of the jar with a spoon, because that's gross, that's why it's just for me and the
Starting point is 00:10:01 dogs, so I don't taint any other humans with it. But I, I gotta say, man, because of how much peanut butter I eat, I clean up a lot of peanut butter and peanut butter is a fucking mess. And I can't, I don't think you would want it pressurized and sprayed anywhere. It's a nightmare to clean up. I also worry how it would separate in the canister because it gets, sometimes the oil gets its own layer and you might just throw oil at someone first. It like when bernie would always buy that fancy peanut butter that's supposed to be better but it really just oh the stuff that's like real it's made from yeah smash peanuts he's like hold up a second you guys want some healthy peanut butter give me 30 minutes to to fucking
Starting point is 00:10:39 sit here and what do you call it stir it yeah i forgot. Stir it. I forgot the word stir. I had a butter churn stuck in my head, and I was trying to think of the word churn. I'm not going to lie. And then stir was out the window. Man, speaking of gross food, I've been getting a lot of grief from people about the whole cheese sandwich thing. A lot of grief.
Starting point is 00:11:02 Really? And I have a question. Basically, it's divided the comment levers because of obviously all the english people are like obvious yeah cheese sandwich is classic basic sandwich and everyone else is like who would eat that cold i have a question for you andrew do you have the branston still i mean not not near me but yeah i still have it that's a no he threw it away no i have it it's just it's not in my little fridge. Oh, so you can't just grab it?
Starting point is 00:11:27 No, I can't just grab it. Okay, let me do a picture for you. Okay. I still don't. I would never eat that sandwich. I don't think you'd even put it in. Where would you rank that? It's not a top 10 sandwich.
Starting point is 00:11:39 Do you see what it says in green? Yeah, I do see it i just i don't know if that proves i feel like i'm not i'm not off base it says it on the jar no what does it say oh it says perfect in a cheese sandwich there you go does it say hot melted cheese no it just says a cheese sandwich. I gotta say, Gav, you said you've been getting a lot of hate from the comment leavers about it. I feel like Andrew and I have been getting a lot of hate from the comment leavers, too.
Starting point is 00:12:14 It's a pretty divisive issue. Yeah, I felt like most people are like, a cheese sandwich is completely reasonable. How do they not understand what that is or would want? It's mixed, but there are a lot of people saying who would eat that, but it's a classic. I want it's mixed but there are a lot of people saying like who would eat that but you know it's uh it's a classic i think it's a it's an established thing but like once again it's a shit sandwich it's not a great sandwich in any way you wouldn't take it in your time firstly it's weird that an opinion could be wrong but we've just had
Starting point is 00:12:37 evidence of it right there and secondly i do feel like my picture my picture of the cheese sandwich didn't do it justice because i'm using just the best cheddar i could find and it came in slices like you don't usually have cheddar pre-sliced like that you usually want to just hack it off a big old block but uh yeah and i and i did put a lot of branson on i should own up to that as well slightly too much what is that pink pringles can back there with asian oh it's um meg actually just bought like 10 different flavors of japanese pringles and they're apparently all flavors that don't exist elsewhere so we're gonna we're gonna do a test a taste test ah i see whatever it is i bet it's gross yeah i bet it is hey but before we get too far in here uh so i looking at my notes, and I don't really have a lot,
Starting point is 00:13:26 but the biggest thing I have is I want to know what happened in the bet. Take it away, Andrew. Okay, so last episode, we initiated the bet. Gavin said that he had beaten a time. I don't remember what you said exactly, so it feels weird to try to repeat what you said. The point is the bet started, and we had a miscommunication about the bet but i have just sort of owned up to the fact that i think i'm i'm wrong i'm most likely wrong just historically i probably just don't
Starting point is 00:13:56 remember it correctly gavin said he beat a time or that time was on the board he did not tell me which one it was and i thought he was being sneaky because he had a few different times that were better than mine and i thought it was like oh you got to try to figure it out yourself turns out he just in his memory all the times he had were on the board and to me he had to pick a specific one before initiate that's kind of where we left off with that see my memory of the bet was that you were just going to have all better times than me so i thought well i'll try and beat one and maybe i'll just do a couple so that i knock him off a couple and then you're having to clamber back up to the point where every single time you have is better than every single
Starting point is 00:14:34 time i have yeah i remember it is you picking a specific one but that's probably wrong see i always thought i wasn't even gonna tell you which one i was just i was just gonna announce like by the way i've got a better time. Bye. I don't remember it coming up one way or the other, but I do remember there being some mystery involved where Gavin is like, time has been beaten, figure it out.
Starting point is 00:14:56 And then you have to go and go through all the different levels to try to figure out which time or times he's beaten. But I can't, I do feel, that feels really true to me, but I cannot remember if we specified one or more being, I don't think it came up. That's what I think.
Starting point is 00:15:09 Yeah, I think that I just never considered the possibility of doing multiples in my memory. I think like technically in my head, it was always just one-on-one, but I could be totally wrong. Gavin's going to play a clip next week and be saying,
Starting point is 00:15:21 I'll beat all your times with it. But in my head head it was always a rally of one time back and forth until we couldn't we couldn't beat it so he immediately beat one of the times and then i was like oh i think my best time was actually out skirts in halo 2 so andrew's like well so we had that whole thing we put we put the the clock on pause for like a day we needed the judge's ruling we sort of argued about it right in the middle of our uh break shit stream that was like in the middle of it and then was it later that night you continued the clock started there needs to be some additional context so we finished the podcast and i think i just have one time to beat but i don't know which one it is as i'm downloading the game again and so as i was having
Starting point is 00:16:05 a bath playing property brothers as one does right i was like i need to i need to figure out what time this is so i just lied to gavin i said hey i beat your time on this one level because i knew he had a faster time than me on this one but i couldn't remember what it was called i was like i beat it you do this like, oh, I was thinking of the betrayal. Is that what the level's called? Regret. I'm so bad with the regret, thank you. I was thinking of regret, so I was like, oh shit, now he revealed to me what the time was that he had.
Starting point is 00:16:34 I then spent the next three and a half hours just playing the level over and over again until I beat him by like four minutes. And then I sent him a message like, balls in your court, because I thought that was the only time I had to defend and then the next day gavra replied and i will say it was a very suspicious gavin thing of first it was a message of i don't know how you got this time this is impossible let's now talk about the rules again and what the the specifics of the bet
Starting point is 00:17:00 actually were which then led into our discussion of well i thought that you only had like 10 hours left and gavin's like well i think you only have three hours we went back and forth and i just can't i just accepted the fact that i'm either a probably wrong because there's a history just me not remembering the specifics of these things or b tech like i i remember it correctly but i just never covered the concept of doing multiple runs at once. This is not a thing I considered. So although it's within the rules, it's just not what I thought that that was. But there's no rule against it.
Starting point is 00:17:34 I feel like you shot yourself in the foot by lying about beating me in the other one. Because that was the one that I had a better time than you in. Well, that's why I didn't think it mattered. Because I was waiting for you to declare a level. So once said the other level honestly if you had said damn i guess i'm gonna have to beat it in my head i was like you faced yourself because i couldn't beat that level at that time i thought it was impossible um and so when you said oh i was thinking of this other level i was like fuck yeah it's not that level that you have a great time in we could just do this one instead i will say that while andrew was then working after we resumed the clock we andrew streamed to me on his private stream account him trying to be outskirts and it was
Starting point is 00:18:16 the most i wish i wish it was public but we obviously couldn't do it that way because we hadn't the episode where we discussed it hadn't come out yet be just a bit weird but it was phenomenally tense he was getting really good at all the early on tricks and he would be the basically the last part is you just drive for like 30 seconds to the end in a warthog and you can kind of see by that moment you're kind of like trying to guess whether you're going to cross the finish line in the in the right amount of time and he'd be like 30 seconds from the end and you would just all you would see is just time slowly ticking away and he had to beat like four minutes 22 and it was like edging up to it was like 4 15 he was getting close and i think you got four minutes 24 i did before the time you got several times you ended up 4 24 and the timer eventually ran out but i was honestly
Starting point is 00:19:04 rooting for you so bad. And you were getting really frustrated because actually I wanted it to be a back and forth. It was incredibly entertaining. It was like the best thing I've ever watched on Twitch. It was infuriating because there's so many random variables to that level. Like you can just get sniped and there's nothing you can do about it. There's sequences and there's like no room for error. I have no idea how Gavin did the first part.
Starting point is 00:19:26 I just couldn't figure out where to gain two seconds in the beginning. But yeah, I streamed. New techniques. Okay. I feel like you cheated in some way. I really feel like the game glitched and didn't track the clock stop. I don't know what you did, but you have an amazing time on that. I didn't realize it
Starting point is 00:19:45 split time at each checkpoint so you're like running across the rooftops after 30 seconds and mine is like 10 yeah i don't understand what you did yeah there's something in that initial thing because i definitely have the back half faster than you do uh it's just like the opening run you breeze through the hardest part but I did say that you were in a warthog for that bit and I was in a ghost so it's it took me more so just so so I understand the bet is now over and Andrew lost by two seconds I lost by two seconds I think if he even had 20 more minutes, he would have eventually beat me It I ran until the clock ended and I also like I feel like I get some credit for Streaming because in theory if I beat your time you could just copy
Starting point is 00:20:35 Literally the exact path I took I try to try to be a little bit more efficient at it I couldn't shave the two seconds. I submitted maybe five or six runs Couldn't do it It also turned out that when you were giving it all mouth back in the day about how you had all these trap times I couldn't shave the two seconds. I submitted maybe five or six runs. I couldn't do it. It also turned out that when you were giving it all mouth back in the day about how you had all these trap times, I guess a load of shit. Yeah, it was the load time. Yeah, the load times were so bad before the next-gen consoles came out.
Starting point is 00:20:58 And I thought you had to revert to close the game fully every time you do a run. So it would take me like four minutes every run. And I was sick five seconds yeah now it's so fast but i yeah i was so sick and i didn't want gavin to do that level i just lied about having a time ready to go for it because i just didn't want him to initiate it you're very good at the mind games because they do work i i for some reason i do believe you a lot. Yeah. And I should just never take anything you say as true. Well, most of what I say is true. I kind of realized that, Gavin, I recently watched,
Starting point is 00:21:32 and I know everybody in and associated with our company has been on a binge of it lately, but I recently watched season 20 of Survivor at the recommendation of Andrew. And I finished it last night, and it was like a heroes and villains. With a bunch of winners. And some of the best heroes.
Starting point is 00:21:49 And some of the shittiest people. And there's this dude named Russell. Who I realize is Andrew. No. Don't put that on me. He lies and manipulates constantly. And he's charismatic about it. And you can never tell if he's anything coming out of
Starting point is 00:22:05 his mouth is is real but i think that's not andrew because andrew i think the reason we believe andrew is because he is mostly telling the truth it's just the things that count that i think be beneficial to him as a lie is when he pulls out lies and that's why we don't know when he's lying i don't know man i think russell used the truth as a weapon too sometimes. You know? I'm not. It's like, I think Andrew uses the truth. He wields it like a cudgel and he's really smart with it.
Starting point is 00:22:32 Calling me Russell Hance is maybe the most insulting thing anyone's ever said to me. No, it's not like they're different. If we are in a competition, then I feel like mind games are totally on the table. And that's valid outside of that I'm not you know it's a game gotta play mind games in a game Russell sucks why did what a harsh
Starting point is 00:22:53 he was my favorite person what are you talking about really that's interesting I thought he was fascinating you should watch season 19 then okay yeah okay well you told me you told me to watch season 20 so i watched what i knew was on on netflix well it's just you were you're talking about like when to get into survivor and i feel like modern survivor really starts season 19 season 20 like everything before that
Starting point is 00:23:14 doesn't really matter for like the next 20 seasons so now that you've lost the uh the halo times bet again what what is that was that a double or nothing on the pencil? I don't even know what the terms were. Eric, what are the chances you remember? There's no way. I think it was double or nothing, but I don't remember definitely. It was a double or nothing bet. We should find out how much financially I owe you
Starting point is 00:23:38 at this point as well. It's either another 500 on top of the one that you were going to put in a safe or it's two pencils. I can remember it was two pencils so this actually brings up something i kind of wanted to talk about today uh which uh is a good segue for this uh there was a lot of like on the fly like otf judging going on during this uh this 24-hour period it sounds like and you guys were kind of scrambling and then also on top of that andrew and i were talking about some ideas for new face ancillary content auxiliary content yesterday and we came up with an idea together for a show that would
Starting point is 00:24:18 be a pre-recorded show probably wouldn't work for the break shit stuff uh but it would require judging and in my head i thought oh we we'll just have Gavin do the judge. But then that takes you out of the competition. Even though it's a two person competition, I don't want you to never be able to compete. And so it got me thinking, what if we vote and nominate an official face judge, much like you nominate a judge to the Supreme Court, except it's not a lifetime appointment. It's for a period of time, like a year. And we'll say, like, what if we like I would nominate Eric and then we make Eric the official face judge. And then that's Eric's job is to is to monitor and moderate and keep up with
Starting point is 00:24:54 all these bets and all things that need a judging. And then he is he's the arbiter of of all of that information. So anytime we need something, he's got it. Seems like it'd also be a good job for a superfan. I agree. Do we have any? No, not currently. To my knowledge, we are currently superfan. We have a lot of fans. There's a lot of comment leavers.
Starting point is 00:25:16 We're looking for a new superfan. There's a hole there that needs to be filled currently. Not sure what to do about that. But, you know, just something to think about. I like the idea. I feel like we could have a variety of judges. I know it doesn't really solve your issue or your point of having somebody know everything,
Starting point is 00:25:33 just to source back to you. But depending on what they're picking, we could have a different judge based on what the theme of that episode is. Hmm. What, like a food-based judge and like a video game yeah like if if the subject happens to be something that applies to somebody we know or we feel that they are an expert in that specific subject it would maybe make sense to switch the
Starting point is 00:25:55 judges out just as an idea i like the idea of a judge though that's a great idea as well yeah i just like i don't want to have to keep going outside and paying for it like we did and that was a whole kerfuffle you know uh with the pencil bet and it just seems like like if we could find somebody who we can just identify to be impartial and then they're always and if it's somebody who's required to come to every recording as well then they're you know uh but i also i'm not opposed to the idea of different judges for different tasks. I just think that there should be some sort of like Supreme Fuck Force. Fuck Force. Fuck Force.
Starting point is 00:26:34 I don't know if that gets bleeped. Does a flub of the second one get bleeped? No, I don't think so. I think a Fuck Force stays in. Fuck Force is its own word. some sort of supreme fuck force court uh that uh you know is like the official uh ruling body of all things face or or fluke face industries uh as our subsidiary company yes um i want to talk about the uh so part of the the break stuff ended with maybe the best ending to any stream I've seen, Jeff. Your child kicker PSA demanding that people relay any information. I've had so much fun.
Starting point is 00:27:12 Oh, with the real phone number. Yeah, with the real. I bought a number for that shirt, and it's tied to my Skype. And initially, I saw a lot of people saying when it was live, they couldn't get through. The line was busy because everybody was trying to call at the same time. I've had so much fun the last few days just having Skype open and answering that that number very seriously. How often does it ring?
Starting point is 00:27:36 It kind of rotates maybe like once every 20 minutes or so, I'd say. I get a call. Yeah, it's great. I'll just be doing a random thing and and I'll have to throw my headphones off, grab my computer headphones, very seriously. Have you gotten any hot tips, any good solid intel?
Starting point is 00:27:53 A little bit. It's mainly people being terrified, which is the best thing. It makes me laugh. It's so hard not to break when people get panicky, because I'll answer the line like, hello, you've reached ChildKicker,
Starting point is 00:28:04 information line, how may I help you you i'll be very serious about it and then the very first call i got tending to be a police department or you're specifically specifically yeah that child kicker yeah yeah as as we said it's i mean it's what we advertised that so like the police the call the very first guy i got sounded like he was high and so he calls and i'm like vancouver child kicker support line how may i help you and uh there was a pause in silence and he went holy shit it's real and then he hung up he got freaked out it was fantastic i had another person apologize to me for not having information that was great i was like child kicker support line uh what what how can i help you what information do you have
Starting point is 00:28:56 they're like oh i didn't expect this to work i didn't uh i was just watching a live stream and i'm sorry i'm well do you have any information about the location of the child kicker at this time? No, I don't know anything. I was just, I'm so sorry. Like, it was great. People get so nervous. It's fantastic. And I'm also terrified, which makes it even funnier.
Starting point is 00:29:18 In my head, I'm like, I have no idea what to say. I don't know how to reply to whatever they will say, but people just panic and hang up, typically. So, do you answer every time? Like, what if it rings while you're in the bath playing property brothers well i did it's clearly unavailable at that time you can leave a voicemail uh should i open it right now and just see like i don't think the audio would come through i just clicked it maybe i can ask them if they want to be a judge experts new calls um man that that could not have worked out better that's a really funny i'm really excited for when the number theoretically gets into the wild i know we're
Starting point is 00:29:52 releasing stickers as well as the shirt and the concept of people not understanding the origin of it calling in is you know what i don't like about phone like real phone numbers in content is that if you're watching it like 15 years from now it's clearly going to be something else or a disconnected line I think you should try and keep this number from now until the end of your life
Starting point is 00:30:15 you want to pay for that Gavin if you pay for it I'll gladly do that how much is the number I want to say it's like $60 for like I have to pay for a subscription 60 a year uh i don't know i'll look into it but yeah it's not and how many like how many more do you plan on living oh i don't you know hopefully quite a few yeah at least a minimum let's say 55 55 55 yeah that'd be that. Yeah, it's like three grand, 300 bucks.
Starting point is 00:30:45 Here's what I'm thinking, guys. This seems like the perfect thing to wager. What do you mean? I mean like, this is a double or nothing right here. The next bet you guys come up with, if Andrew wins, Gavin has to pay his fake phone bill for the rest of his life i don't have a great then andrew continues not to not to do whatever it is he's required to do
Starting point is 00:31:10 i've never lost more than things related to this show i don't know if that's a good idea i'm i'm an all-time loser here i feel like you're losing your confidence you were the you started this podcast as the most confident man, and look what's happened. Well, it's just I've had a bit of a run. It hasn't been... And by run, I mean fall and hitting every possible branch on the way down. It has not been a smooth path for me as far as the competitions go. I literally cannot do another burger bet. I don't have it in me.
Starting point is 00:31:44 It's just i'm i'm burgered out the gaming bet pretty haloed out as well oh you know i'm back into halo now but it's just the time thing i really hope that this is the one bet that i didn't remember correctly and and i fucked myself by just agreeing to terms do you want to double or nothing the double or nothing how do on what what are we double or nothing i don't know you're usually the one with suggestions oh we'll have to think you know what i found i uh i was going through my old dvds like i still have all my dvds packed away i found my old red verse blue box set that i won completely forgot about that i won a competition on the site to get that and jeff mailed it to me uh but jeff forgot jeff forgot to send me the
Starting point is 00:32:26 prize and i was too nervous to it took him like took me nine months to email jeff about it be like hey i don't i don't think i got it and then showed up like a week later so i sent it you did send it yeah it just it took it took nine months but the point is mainly i used to win things that was the thing i won as a penny arcade game race. You get all the achievements in the penny arcade game, yeah. On the rain slick precipice of darkness. Wow. Here's an idea.
Starting point is 00:32:55 Okay. If you guys are looking for something to bet over. Are you Ian? I have a lifetime supply of Captain Crunch. I don't know if you can tell. I'm eating right now. I have a lifetime supply of Captain Crunch in my don't know if you can tell. I'm eating it right now. I have a lifetime supply of Captain Crunch in my pantry right now. You guys are welcome to.
Starting point is 00:33:10 If I eat it constantly, like while I'm recording the podcast, if I just never stop, I figure I can get through about half of it this time in, I don't know, 2024. So you faced the podcast, Andrew, by sending that. Well, 2024. So you f***ed face the podcast, Andrew, by sending that. Well, okay. So that was intended to be a nice thing, originally. I sent you, what, 12 boxes? 10 boxes of Captain Crunch?
Starting point is 00:33:36 And, like, all of the soda ever. Yeah, four cases of Coke Zero? It's been awesome. I'm not kidding, dude. I carry a box of captain crunch around with me 24 hours a day oh yeah you're talking about captain crunch box and his giant whipped cream he's he's regressing yeah um well you sent me those mcdonald's muffins months ago i thought that was really nice and i just randomly was thinking one day like man i should just
Starting point is 00:34:02 i i have jeff's address because of the port-a-potty thing. I should just send him something nice on Amazon. It's a way to pay you back. And when I sent you the port-a-potty toy, they sent me a photo confirming it arrived. And I saw your Amazon order. And Coke Zero was in the grander pile of Amazon stuff. So that was, I went off the assumption that you're a big coke guy or that the people like coke in your house i have been told that you're a pepsi household i apologize for sending
Starting point is 00:34:31 four cases of coke zero maybe the one time you ordered it it based my knowledge of like you love coke zero are you a pepsi house i've i i am in a i'm in a pepsi phase right now where i prefer pepsi over other sodas but i still like coke zero i'm drinking diet dr pepper right now that's neither of those things well i just i felt bad learning you pepsi preference and i send you 48 cans of coke zero and then i was just like i'm gonna send you as many captain crunch boxes as I could. Ten was the max they would let me send. It was a good max. And it has maxed out my enjoyment of Captain Crunch.
Starting point is 00:35:12 And I think that in another week or so, we might be in a situation where I never eat it again as long as I live. We could be entering into corn dog territory here pretty soon. Oh, fuck! I got a corn dog update. You guys want to hear it? Yeah. I'd love to hear your corn dog. Yeah, okay. So i got a corn dog update you guys want to hear it yeah i'd love to hear your yeah okay so the other day i was riding my bike uh maybe two days ago
Starting point is 00:35:29 and it was like a hot sunny day and i rode by uh sandy's which is where i used to always go and get two corn dogs on a monday and it was like a little corn dog ritual uh oh it was the whole thing it was back in the 90s early 2000s they only took cat or they they took uh they only took cash and i would go through all my motorcycles back when i had a motorcycle and i would leave work and i'd drive over and i'd get two corn dogs and a soda and then i would pay with the $20 bill and the lady would say do you have anything smaller and i would go nope even if i did because it would piss her off and then she would get mad and then this lady and i kind of hated each other but i really liked those corn dogs and i would always pay with the 20 and then make her break
Starting point is 00:36:07 change and then she hated that because it was like three dollars worth of food and anyway it was a whole game we played uh and uh i rode by that place and i thought oh shit am i having a craving for a corn dog and so i stopped my bike and i i sat with that feeling for a moment and i realized no i wasn't i still don't want to eat corn dogs anymore and then i rode my bike and I sat with that feeling for a moment and I realized, no, I wasn't. I still don't want to eat corn dogs anymore. And then I rode my bike away. And that's the latest news on corn dogs? That's the latest news on corn dogs.
Starting point is 00:36:32 I had a thought and then I squashed it. Interesting. I'm still corn dog-less. I am. No alcohol, no corn dogs. Maybe, very soon, maybe no more Captain Crunch with crunch with crunch berries we'll have to see how many boxes have you gone through at this point uh well i was still on my box my giant box of texas sized crunch berries it was a texas size box to hold all those texas sized crunch berries
Starting point is 00:36:58 so i was still on that for up until yesterday i am on uh okay i'm about halfway through with my first box of your cereal. I see. Okay. You got nine, nine and like essentially a full box left. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:10 Nine and a half. Wherever you're going, you better believe American Express will be right there with you. Heading for adventure? We'll help you breeze through security. Meeting friends
Starting point is 00:37:26 a world away? You can use your travel credit. Squeezing every drop out of the last day? How about a 4 p.m. late checkout? Just need a nice place to settle in? Enjoy your room upgrade. Wherever you go, we'll go together. That's the powerful backing of American
Starting point is 00:37:42 Express. Visit amex.ca slash yamx. Benefits vary by card. Terms apply. So we were going to hang out, Jeff. Yeah. Obviously, then the weather turned. It became seven days of storms, so we canceled plans.
Starting point is 00:37:59 The day we were going to hang out, completely sunny day, no clouds, about 31 degrees Celsius. It was one of the nicest days of the year so far. 31. So now it's like reverse screwing with us. I don't know what's happening now. Yeah, I don't know what to do because even that morning, the weather reports, I didn't go on a bike ride that morning because the weather report said it's going to be raining for the next like four hours.
Starting point is 00:38:26 And then 10 minutes later, and then I made plans. I assume you made plans that were related to being outside, you know, because we weren't going to hang out. And then the sun comes out and it is the nicest day in the history of the city of Austin. And I was already locked into my other plans. Oh, I had 31. Isn't a perfect that 31 is too hot. I know you're in Texas temperature, different scale. I don't want to.
Starting point is 00:38:51 What am I doing on a 31? I'm not bike riding. I love the heat. I love the heat. What is? Oh, I'm not a fan. 31 to Fahrenheit. 31 Celsius to Fahrenheit is 87 degrees.
Starting point is 00:39:02 Yeah, it was about right. Yes. I don't like that. I'm a cold. I much prefer cold. You're a cold guy. I am a 87 degrees. Yeah, it was about right. Yes, I don't like that. I'm a cold. I much prefer cold. You're a cold guy? I am a cold guy, yeah. I definitely prefer it.
Starting point is 00:39:11 It's a lot easier to deal with when a thing is too cold. I don't think I own a jacket. I dress like I'm in a warm temperature, but I'm not a cold guy. Are you the only Canadian without a jacket? I don't know. It gets weird like in the summertime
Starting point is 00:39:26 my wardrobe makes perfect sense i'm always wearing a short sleeve shirt and shorts uh in the winter it becomes odd but i just so you're wearing shorts in the canadian winter and my one yeah i mean west coast winter isn't the same as the eastern uh yeah it's not that bad it's it's i mean it snows a little bit but it's like maybe maybe a week of the year it's not much it gets cold but yeah it's not that bad it's it's i mean it snows a little bit but it's like maybe maybe a week of the year it's not much it gets cold but yeah it's wading through snow in shorts how often would you say you're out and about like roaming around the town like andrew panton man about town not much in covid times like well i would say pre-covid pre-covid pre-co well it's like that's a different thing of like i didn't like i i where i live now i understand yeah yeah it did change yeah it was it didn't really make sense to you what what's the latest on watching women piss like is that something you
Starting point is 00:40:16 can do from your oh i know it did it did i was gonna say that never happened the way it was described never happened i was horrified i didn't it was not a pursuit i haven't seen it since no okay that does not happen but not for lack of trying right well no i mean i look out my window sometimes i don't know is that a crime i'm just trying to see what's happening oh whoa buddy nobody's trying to say it's a crime i look at women peeing no i don't i don't know i i want to move on from this, too, because Piss Boy was a name that died and vanished. Well, I deliberately didn't say anything about Piss Boy. You just said Piss Boy again.
Starting point is 00:40:52 That's the first utterance of Piss Boy in about 40 episodes. It is. I remember Cran Piss, too. We had so much piss-related injury content back in the day. The piss really fell off, evaporated. It did. It did. Yeah. The Grillmaster. All that evaporated. It did. It did. Yeah. The grill master. All that's left is
Starting point is 00:41:08 a faint odor. Yeah. No, I have not witnessed any women peeing recently. I did... What? Oh, go ahead. I was just gonna say, what's the most interesting thing you've seen outside of your window recently? Ooh, the most... Fucking the old man podcast.
Starting point is 00:41:26 That's the most thrilling? I mean, when's the last time you looked out your window? Let me tell you, some birds went by. Man, what a great Tuesday that was. It's like a conversation people in prison would have. How's the weather over there in Canada? What's the most interesting thing you've seen? Your window is so worse.
Starting point is 00:41:46 It's so dumb. What are we doing to this question? Not when the previous most interesting thing you'd seen is a homeless woman peeing on a McDonald's. Okay, well, the problem is the place where I lived is very soundproofed, and I keep missing all the cool shit. So, like, there was a propane explosion in an alleyway right across from where i live and i
Starting point is 00:42:06 didn't hear any of it i wasn't aware it happened like there's a huge fire and all these propane tanks exploded i missed it there's they just there was they they destroyed a building recently i didn't i missed all of it i i looked out my window and i was like oh i think that building's gonna get destroyed soon that'll be interesting and i checked at noon and it was gone and i was like how did i miss this i was here all day um yeah so all the cool shit i miss i just see women pissing so i stand by my question because everything you just mentioned is ludicrous to see out of a window yeah you know what i've seen outside of my window? I've seen the same old lady walking her dog 18 times a day,
Starting point is 00:42:50 and she waves at me every time. That's the most interesting thing that I've seen out of my window. Huh. She's got a little hat on. It looks like Gilligan, like a Gilligan hat. And she's always smiling. Just happily. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:00 Gav, how about you? Any pissing? Any propane explosions? It sounds like a scene from Left 4 Dead. No, I mean, there's a time of year where I think it's something to do with the height of the sun where birds just keep killing themselves on my window. It's like a two-week period every spring.
Starting point is 00:43:18 You'll just hear like, and they're just hammering themselves in the window and there's just like dead birds piling up on the roof. It's like the first four minutes of an M. Night Shyamalan movie. It's just waiting for you to acknowledge it and kick it off. And I think... So I tried putting stickers on the window from the inside, but I don't think they can see it.
Starting point is 00:43:37 I think it's just all reflection of the sky from the outside, and it's not a window I can get to from the outside. I don't know how I would even get up to it. R.I.P. birds. What type of sticker you put on it? One of those reflective anti-bird stickers. It's a picture of a bird with a circle and a line to it. If you put a child kicker
Starting point is 00:43:58 sticker on that window, I guarantee you no more bird issues. It's just a sticker that says perfected a cheese sandwich. I hate the cheese sandwich only because it should be a grilled cheese. That's really the basis of my hatred. A grilled cheese is a better sandwich. Melt the cheese is superior.
Starting point is 00:44:15 It's just delicious. Grilled cheese is such a great sandwich. That's my main issue. It's a fantastic sandwich. It's a different sandwich. Yeah, but when do I want when I'm miserable? And I just don't like, I don't know when. It's like a tuna sandwich, fine. Tuna melt, different.
Starting point is 00:44:34 Also fine. I don't like tuna sandwiches. You're not a fish guy? You're not a fish sandwich guy? No, I don't like tuna. I'm okay with some. Yeah, I'm not a big tuna fan. What's your favorite fish?
Starting point is 00:44:50 Oh, man, it's going to sound so fucking pompous. I like halibut. That's great. I like a halibut. I'm a halibut fan. So what do you have when you get sushi? I don't know. I'm pretty boring, like a California roll.
Starting point is 00:45:03 I guess it's crab, like imitation crab, generally, I'd assume. What about you well I mean I'm fine with fish it's not an interesting answer for me I just I just know you're slipping on sushi no but at the point we're asking what's the most interesting thing you've seen out your window lately I feel like it's fair I feel like it's on the same level of question yeah I was gonna let it go but Eric asked it so I'm gonna let's dive in uh why I feel like why is halibut because it's the more expensive fish when you get fish and chips you can either get cod or halibut halibut's always way more i feel like it's an elitist fish
Starting point is 00:45:32 because of this i feel like i'm never given the choice when i get fish and chips it's just really whatever they're doing i don't think there there is an elite there can be an elitist fish in a fish and chips scenario i can't i don't know. Is the halibut the one-sided fish? I don't know what the halibut looks like outside of when it's cooked. I know there's a fish that's like only on one side.
Starting point is 00:45:55 What do you mean only on one side? Like all of its shit is on one side. Oh. Like it's got both of its eyes on like the same side of its body. Yeah, it's like in Animal Crossing. Yeah. Here, I'll show you a picture. Are you thinking like a sunfish?
Starting point is 00:46:11 I don't know. No, you catch them in here. You catch all sorts of fucking fish. Jeff, that's just cat. What the fuck was that? What are you doing? What are you doing, Jeff? Just an image address.
Starting point is 00:46:23 All right. I can't see his eyes. It's the worst picture ever. Well, what is it called? That's a halibut. That's a halibut? That's what a halibut looks like? Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:46:33 Here. There you can see his eyes. Yeah, look at his eyes. Look at his eyes. Pompous isn't the word I think of when I look at that fish in those eyes. I think you're doing that fish a favor by eating it. What's on the other side of a halibut? And does it taste different?
Starting point is 00:46:49 I don't know how to answer that. Yeah, you only see it from the right. It's like the moon. The dark side of the halibut. Does a halibut have 80 eyes? How do they have eyes?
Starting point is 00:47:06 I'm thinking... No, that's just... It's a weird angle, right? Like, the head is placed awkwardly on the rest of the body? Like, the head is like... I don't know, dude. Look at this. Which one are you...
Starting point is 00:47:14 How does a fish turn its head? Well, no, look at... Look at that one. I don't know. That's what I'm saying. I think it only has two eyes, but it's like its eyes are placed weirdly. Like, it's an unfortunate... So what's on the other side just i think it just sits on the floor it just like yeah oh yeah yeah yeah okay i see so what's a halibut halibut halibut what a fucking mistake
Starting point is 00:47:36 that is halibut back can we see the back of a halibut um just a fish with nothing on it. Yeah. It's going to be plain. Here we go. The dark side of the halibut. Yeah. It just looks like a fish without a face. Yeah. It's all fish belly white. That's really big. It's a big guy.
Starting point is 00:47:58 Oh, dude. You want to see something crazy? Do you think 3D works for a halibut? Here's a picture of a halibut. What do you mean? This guy likes halibut so much, he's got a full body tattoo of it. Wow. Oh my god. I think 3D works just fine on Halibut.
Starting point is 00:48:15 What a weird evolutionary thing that's happened to that fish. Is Halibut... It's just like, man, I'm wasting my eye. It's just looking at sand all the time. Oh, Halibut's expensive. It says why does halibut it is? It's an expensive fish. It's a snobby fish I feel like well that must try my button that makes sense because it looks you've never had halibut and chips
Starting point is 00:48:40 It's probably royal. I've just had cotton chips. chips. It's every... I've never been to a fish and chip place that doesn't give you the option to upgrade to halibut. Really? Maybe I've been missing out. You've never upgraded. What a shame. What would be the most expensive fish to have battered with chips? I have no idea.
Starting point is 00:48:59 Like sushi grade albacore or something? Yeah, probably albacore. What is the most expensive fish? Oops. What was that? What do you mean, oops? Oh, I don't know what I was typing. Did you just order the most expensive fish?
Starting point is 00:49:16 Yeah. A fish. It is... You know that you can order singular items off of Amazon, Gavin? God! What do you mean, like a screw? No, like grocery items. Like, I could just send Jeff a potato if I wanted.
Starting point is 00:49:30 It's like 50 cents. I feel like people would get mad at me, but I really kind of wanted to send Jeff a potato every day. This is like 50 cents. I love potatoes, man. Yeah, no, potatoes are great. It'd be great to subscribe to potatoes on Jeff's blog. I feel like the real prank would be when it ended. Like if I gave you, I have a 30-day free trial for Amazon Fresh.
Starting point is 00:49:55 When the potato ended, you'd be so used to just getting a free potato every day. Yeah, he's just counting on his spuds. It'd be tough to live. Yeah. And then they stop coming. He's like, what the hell? Every day by about two o'clock, it's tater time.
Starting point is 00:50:06 Ready to go. The most expensive fish in the world, and I don't think you're supposed to eat it. I think you're supposed to put it in an aquarium and look at it. Would you like to guess how much an exquisite platinum arowana costs? To own?
Starting point is 00:50:20 I would guess $25,000. $50,000. That fish costs $400,000 $50,000 that fish cost $400,000 freaking hell wait it's a nice looking fish that better be some good ass meat is it like a 1 to 75
Starting point is 00:50:36 what's the rarity of the fish it's a parallel it's a first off the line I don't understand Japanese tuna bluefin tuna is the most expensive fish to eat they say okay and that's that one is just to preserve to own if you want to just look at it i mean if you ate it that'd be that'd be a hell of a meal is it is it facing extinction like what makes it so rare is it just the fact that there's so few i closed that link
Starting point is 00:51:04 already i'm not... Great. ...doing the work to get back there. I know it doesn't make any sense, but it feels weird to me that that fish would not make any of the profit on that sale. It makes me sort of uncomfortable in a weird way. He's not getting like expensive fish food to go along with it? Yeah, there should be something, there should be like a fish contract that he gets compensated for the sale. It's like a fish bank account. Yeah yeah i don't know what that is i don't know if it's like a larger tank if it's like a percentage level would you what was that what percentage would you give the fish a 40
Starting point is 00:51:33 easily without a doubt the fish yeah well i mean it's the fish what do you mean no fish there's nothing you're selling nothing person's not themselves. And they caught the fish, I guess. I mean, that's something worth mentioning. I mean, I'm giving them 60 for the catch. But 40% should go to that fish. All right. I agree with that. What is the fish going to do with the money?
Starting point is 00:51:57 I don't know. That's for the fish to decide, Jeff. I don't think we get to make those decisions. It's just weird. I don't know. The concept of selling a living thing to somebody. Like, I don't know. It's just weird. I don't know. The concept of selling a living thing to somebody. Like, I don't know. It's just odd.
Starting point is 00:52:07 Okay. You never owned a dog? Yeah. No, I understand that. But when it's like life-changing money, it becomes weird to me. Especially for something you just look at. Like, I don't know. You'd take care of.
Starting point is 00:52:20 I feel like it's really bad in a fire to have an expensive fish. Because what are you going to do? Grab the fish and hold it? care of i feel like it's it's really bad in a fire to have an expensive fish because what you're gonna do grab the fish and hold it i would argue the fish is the most prepared uh i would argue it's gonna come back to a boiled fish yeah i would argue that fish is gonna boil very very just thinking that because it's wet it's cold no it's fine cook alive you just you pour ice cube you pour ice cubes into the tank and then you yeah yeah i would tell under the door then you jump out the window and wish yep just pour a bunch of ice cubes in the tank it'll be all good you know freeze to death no the heat will warm it up
Starting point is 00:52:57 it'll balance the temperatures equally it'll be fine the fish is the the animal i'd be least scared of having in a fire scenario i an arowana that's a fussy fish i bet yeah that fish is gonna that fish and that that fish is worth a significant amount of money it can spend that 40 of money to fuck you over at some point too i just want to know why it's so expensive i mean it's a very pretty fish i wonder if they're like is it that specific version of it i'll google it why is it's gonna be rare I mean, it's a very pretty fish. I wonder if they're like, is it that specific version of it? I'll Google it. Why is an arowana? It has to be rare, but I wonder if there's a shitty version
Starting point is 00:53:31 of it. I'm applying trading card value to this. That's a gem mint. That's a 10 to 10. It's a logo, man. Let's see. The main reason why the arowana is so expensive is because the fish is on the endangered species list and in high demand.
Starting point is 00:53:47 Why are people selling them at all then? The arowana is believed to bring good luck and prosperity. Arowana is also difficult to breed in captivity. Do not keep near fire. Yeah, I would take that fish out as a fish tank. Bathe in ice. I would not do that with that fish. Do you ever have pet fish? Yeah, in high ice. Yeah. I would not do that with that fish.
Starting point is 00:54:06 Do you ever have pet fish? Yeah. In high school, I did. What type of fish did you have? I had a Jack Dempsey, is what it was called. What is a Jack Dempsey? Yeah, Jack Dempsey. And it was like an aggressive fighting fish. My dad had them when he was a kid, and so I had one.
Starting point is 00:54:19 And it was cool. It would eat out of my hand. I could feed it fish food out of my hand. And it wouldn would feed it i could feed it fish food out of my out of my like fish pellets out of my hand and it wouldn't do that for anybody else just for me and uh i never set it on fire or anything it uh nice it lived until it died that's great i had a family member who owned two rather large angel fish like make a circle with your you know finger and thumb or whatever it's pretty pretty big. Big enough to be like, oh, I got to look after this as an individual, not just a bunch of fish.
Starting point is 00:54:48 And they were cleaning the tank once and pulled out like the plastic castle and stuff, cleaned it all off, put it back in. And then like a day later, it was like, where's the other fish? There's only one. And he realized that he'd put the castle down on top of it. And it was just flat.
Starting point is 00:55:06 It was flat against the bottom. He's like, oh my God. He pulled it up. The fish just got up and started swimming again. But it spent a day just on its side under a castle. And I can't believe it lived. Fuck Aaron Ralston. That's the true trap story.
Starting point is 00:55:23 Who needs 127 hours? Castle in a tank. The inspiring movie. That fish must have had some severe psychological damage. I don't know. I don't know what a fish can experience, but I could not believe it lived for so long after that. It was unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:55:37 Yeah, but what kind of life was it? I just was really scared of the castle after that. Oh my God. That fish must have had a complete And total breakdown every time you guys Started to clean the tank That poor fish Do you know how you kill a fish?
Starting point is 00:55:55 I mean there are several ways Do you know how you're supposed to Euthanize a pet fish? Apparently you get clove oil and you just put it in. You just put some clove oil in the water that it's in and then it dies. It's tragic. Peacefully. I don't know why it kills them, but it's like apparently a really nice way to kill a fish.
Starting point is 00:56:16 You said that like you're Agent 47. There is a calmness in your voice of like the efficiency of you know how to take out a fish without anybody suspecting anything. Oh, yeah. voice of like the efficiency of you know how to take out a fish without anybody suspecting anything oh yeah i just ended up in a weird side of youtube once and just watched someone clove oil their fish because it had a tuber and it was really sad it was that is super sad yeah that's that's a that's a youtube hole you do not want to go deeper into yeah it is nothing but sadness you live in a dark sad youtube world gavin why is that i don't know i don't know how i got that i think i i think i've in my head i'd love to own fish i'd love to have a nice aquarium but back in you know before the pandemic i would just i feel like i just travel
Starting point is 00:56:54 too much to properly look after a pet that doesn't feed itself it's a lot of effort uh it is to take care of an aquarium i had when i was in high school i had I had three, and it was like a full-time job. I also looked into getting jellyfish, because apparently you can get nice circular tanks, and they just swim endlessly, and because it's circular, they get stuck in the corners and die. But then I read that you have to squirt food up them,
Starting point is 00:57:18 manually, individually. You have to pipette food up the middle of a jellyfish, and if you've got like 15 jellyfish, that's like an ordeal every day so i just didn't do it that's a lot of work what about you andrew you had aquariums i had to yeah i had i clearly wanted like a dog as a kid and i got goldfish i named it fluffy and snowflake which are great names for fish. Yeah. Fluffy ate Snowflake. Yeah, it was not a great relationship. Then I hated Fluffy. I had a funeral
Starting point is 00:57:53 for Snowflake. I was so sad. We glued popsicle sticks together and family came over. We had a whole funeral to bury my fish. It was the first pet I lost. Devastating. Do you want to know the grossest fucking thing that i just remembered about my fish it was so fucking good please okay so this jack dempsey this incredibly aggressive uh this was that other fish everybody always had uh clownfish no uh oscar right the oscar It's like the natural enemy to the Oscar.
Starting point is 00:58:25 Anyway, okay. So I would, as a treat, I would buy him, because he's a big ass fish, right? Like he was like, you know, seven, eight inches long, maybe. He was in like a 55 gallon aquarium. And I would feed him other fish. I'd get him like goldfish or tetras or something, get like 30 for a dollar and then just throw them in the tank.
Starting point is 00:58:43 And what he would do is I would go to bed. I would just throw them in the tank and uh what he would do is i would go to bed i would just throw them in there and they'd be fine and i remember thinking sometimes i'm thinking like oh maybe maybe i can actually have some other fish and he won't kill them because he just kills them all and uh and then i would get up in the morning and i'd go check on them and there would be 30 or 40 goldfish swimming around without eyeballs oh jesus he would eat their eyeballs out and they would swim around blind until he decided to use them as food.
Starting point is 00:59:10 Oh, my God. It was one of the most disturbing. And I stopped doing it because I was just like, I can't. It's like carnage in my... I can't take it. I can't watch a bunch of...
Starting point is 00:59:17 Because there's like eye guts coming out of them and they're just like swimming around like life is pain. And I just like... So I stopped doing it. This podcast took such a turn towards the end. Can we go back to talking about your whipped cream fire extinguisher?
Starting point is 00:59:33 That was fun. That was a good time. The blood fire extinguisher was better than this. No, it was. Yeah. You have never. You don't know what it's like to see like 40. No.
Starting point is 00:59:44 No, I don't. No. I don't want what it's like to see like 40 no no I don't know I don't want to be here sockets with just like whatever coming out and they're just like swimming around like zombies in a daze like they don't know so I found my old Xbox games and I was looking through my media none of the discs are in the box I hated young me if you have physical media please like put them in the case you will regret it later I now have a box of games I used to own essentially
Starting point is 01:00:12 it's just like proof that I bought them but I cannot play them it's very upsetting what game were you looking for I was really hoping I'd find 50 cent blood on the sand but I was mainly just like going through all of my since we moved I still have a lot of my DVDs and stuff in boxes that I just haven't
Starting point is 01:00:28 sorted, so I was going through everything. And I had a big box of Xbox games, and none of them have discs in them. I did find my original Left 4 Dead. If you want to get that achievement, Jeff, remember that achievement we tried to get that was horrible? You want to try it again? I'm ready. Are you missing an achievement?
Starting point is 01:00:43 I'm missing one achievement in the original Left 4 Dead and it was what Jeff and I played the day before we started 50 Cent Blood on the Sand and it was terrible. We both sucked. We agreed never to talk about this. I just did a Left 4 Dead Let's Play with Achievement Hunter last week and that game is still
Starting point is 01:01:00 awesome. I would love to play Left 4 Dead with you guys. They're making that Back 4 Blood game. I think that comes out in October now.

Starting point is 01:01:16 They're tough ones. I got 46 of 65. For the original game or Left 4 Dead 2? Original. It's probably DLC. We gotta go back and do it. I'd love to. Sounds like a Left 4 Dead 2? Original. It's probably DLC. We got to go back and do it. I'd love to. It sounds like a Left 4 Dead crew.

Starting point is 01:02:03 Do you want more time to think about it? Yeah, we can think about it. It's a good idea. Kick around. While you guys are thinking about that, kick around the idea of nominating an official judge or finding maybe even a quorum of judges. I have Skype open.
Starting point is 01:02:17 Nobody's called. No, I like the idea a lot. Just nobody's called. Can't nominate anybody. It's unfortunate. All right.
