This is a Rooster Teeth production. The following supplemental content was filmed immediately after episode 91 of the F*** Face podcast. Allow us please, if you will, the opportunity to peel back the curtain and let you see, unfiltered, the many frustrations of Eric Bedour. October 1st onward. Okay. So why bring up September at all? Okay, this is why.

Isn't that winter? Okay, calm down. Listen, fucking go bury a porn stash, you fucking ridiculous knob- to get into October. We should do Apple content. Ridiculous. No. What? I don't know. I was just annoyed at you. I'm annoyed about all this. This is not a big deal at all. I've never been to Vegas. The only thing I'd want to do in Vegas. The only reason why I'd want to visit Vegas is to gamble and watch sports,

which there are none of in June. It'd be the least I would never book. So it's unrelated to that. But if we do go in October, we could do possibly NFL stuff or we could do more sports angles while we're there. So what if it's not Vegas? Is June still on the table?

No. I don't want to travel to the U.S. I don't want to travel to the U.S. I don't want to travel to the U.S. in June. I'm probably not going to go to RTX. How about this, though? How about this, though? If it's early June, you have the NBA Finals and the playoffs still.

That wraps up in mid-June. This is like a small aside. I will also say, just throwing it out there, the best thing to bet on, the absolute best thing to bet on, is horses. And the horses run 365 days a year. I can't do it.

Can't do horses. You will. You will. You'll get caught up in it. I will not get caught up. I will, listen, I got fucking Turkish ping pong or some shit that I could find before I'd go to horses.

I don't know, man. You've never been to Vegas. Once you're there, it's a whole different world. I don't trust horses. I don't understand how the betting works for it, and I don't trust them. You know how I said that I'm really good at reading bobs? I feel really confident in my ability to read if somebody's

a bob or not by appearance. I got no read on what a good horse is I could show you what a good horse is I'm fucking great at horses I can't Bob for horses that's a great way of phrasing that no skill in the horse game I like that you the only thing

you won't bet on is the most popular thing in the world to bet on I think that that is incorrect I would be shocked if horse betting is the number one leading we're making an episode are we done are we good did we do it when are we gonna watch a movie together well i just hit record so i want to know i'd be mad if we're done record because we're not this isn't an episode then why the fuck is your episode right girl why

is craig here if we're not doing a case just in case of what just in case you got another tirade against jeff well then i should be recording no we're not doing two of these we've already spent 80 minutes talking about tuesday at fucking 5 a.m you're so angry yeah it makes no sense vegas in june has pissed him off god never say the words vegas in summer june or summer i think it's the horses i think the horses made him mad i don't know how to read horses i don't andrew that's the reason we have craig recording just so you know if it was this is okay the only time i'm all in if it was a racing stripe scenario if you got a zebra on the field i'm all about it i would bet that zebra and i would come out on top because that was a fast not horse i just like how softly you started you're like yeah i prefer if it was

a little bit later in the year and then cut to a minute later i will not set foot in the usa in june because it it's an escalation if i listen to you fucking guys talk about tuesday for eight hours and so i was patient and at the first sign of annoyance it's like i'm done i've been polite i'm exhausted i don't want to hear about fucking tuesday again i gotta get up 5 a.m which is fine it's fine i'm just gonna be on a comedy it's not hard but fucking ah god damn you motherfuckers are gonna be talking about your breakfast tacos and how good it is nothing's gonna be open you're gonna have a fucking cold bowl of oatmeal just annoyed at all of you you have 70 pounds of pancake mix man oh i got 70 pounds

maybe i don't want to fucking make that's the day that's the day to get it started no i'm gonna fucking wake up even earlier and get the pancakes going and then i'm gonna have to make what time does mcdonald's open they they don't open until like seven they don't open till like seven for me what 7 a.m right really for how I get them. Well, I'd have to get them delivered here, so I can't. That doesn't open until 7. Hmm. Weird.

Un-fucking-believable. Cold oatmeal. I mean, you could have said we didn't have to do it then. Yeah, you also had to say. Well, no, listen. No, all of you were all on board, and I'm a team player. No, no, no, no, no. I'm a team and i'm no no no no no no no no no no no i was absolutely not on board and asked you four or five times i asked you four or five times if you're sure it's 6 a.m you know the fucking puzzle in mario party where it's like look left or

whatever look right you got to try to fucking figure I don't know what Jeff wants. Jeff said I want to do another episode and then 10 seconds later he's like, I'm tired. I don't want to do another episode. I've got no idea how to read this. People are talking about Tuesday night. People are talking about Wednesday. You're traveling to Chicago. There's a fucking jumbled mess of wires so I just can't

I cannot listen to it. I just didn't hear a single word any of you said and then you all seem to be excited and pumped about fucking let's get up super early. I'm not excited about that at all. Let's do it. Woo, morning show. How exciting. So I just said yes.

Oh, my God. This show couldn't have less of a morning show vibe. I think the later the better. It will be our worst episode. All right, forget that bit, Andrew. Andrew, do you would you prefer not to do it? No, because I would

rather be annoyed and right than comforted and wrong. So let's do our great 8am episode for you and Central and then at some point we'll do an evening episode and it will be significantly better. Listen Gavin, it's important that you know that he's a team player sometimes. Yeah. we'll do an evening episode and it will be significantly better.

Listen, Gavin, it's important that you know that he's a team player sometimes. Yeah. Team fucking. Why don't we just do it Tuesday in the evening? Like Tuesday. No, we're doing Tuesday morning because that's what we want to do. We're all excited about it. What about Tuesday morning and Tuesday evening? We'll see which one is better.

Boom. Four episodes next week. I love it. That's it. So what time do you want to do the Tuesday? Andrew, you bought us another episode. We do one on Thursday, one Tuesday morning, one Tuesday evening. Okay.

What time Tuesday evening? I can go as late as you want on Tuesday evening. It can be like late night. I don't care. I'll do up to like 10 p.m. I mean, it's up to you guys. Let me know what time works. I'll go 10 p.m 10 to 11 what about 11 to 12 for you guys 11 to 12 yeah sure yeah 9 to 10 we're doing 6 a.m we're doing a morning show and a late show that'll be 18 hours after

we wake up why are we trying to pick why are we waking up early to do an episode and then doing an episode as late as we possibly can like andrew this doesn't vote andrew this doesn't bode well for you no you want a better evening episode we're all gonna be fucking loopy no no no okay listen here i i fucking i age like a wine throughout the day. I'm going to be peak hours. I'm going to be peak performance by your 11. I'm not worried about you. That's 9 p.m. for you. I'm worried about, honestly, Jeff. Oh.

Oh, they're going to experience what it's like to be tired. Yeah. Enjoy. Enjoy, fuckers. It's the other end of that. That was me this morning. It's a teeter-totter, bitch. It's your turn.

I'm on the other end of that. That was me this morning. It's a teeter-totter, bitch. It's your turn. I'm on the other side. So we are doing 11pm on Tuesday? Yes. 11 central. 11 central. Oh my god. Right. So I'm gonna wake up. I'm gonna do a f*** face. I'm gonna spend probably 12 to 14 hours

So you're gonna the invite said i sent the invite i'm excited you know who else spends all day in a quarry gavin fred flintstone and he's a cool motherfucker it's true i'm supposed to get a haircut at like 9 30 in the morning on tuesday and i and i have i have face jam that day i'm gonna be fucked this is gonna be fucked up it's gonna be a great day oh fantastic all right well let's see how it goes i i might actually be in a bad mood on tuesday evening that might be the first i'll genuinely be a crappy that'll be awesome i can't wait it's gonna be great okay

we got it's we haven't could have just recorded a second episode literally a bit halfway through at this point but no we got to talk about tuesday uh well i am still recording we're not doing this is done in like three minutes when are we gonna watch a movie i want to watch mvp2 when are we gonna do another one of this well how are we gonna watch that without watching the first one yeah Hey, Andrew, Andrew, I'm with you. Let's watch MVP 2. I will only watch MVP 2 if Andrew

cuts up previously on from the first movie. I need a primer before I can dive into this. And that could be something the audience could use as well. I have no problem doing that. I want to do it in Q1. How about the 18th?

Of when? March? February? I don't think we can do that because Gavin will be busy. I think I'll be gone by then. Oh, will you? Okay, so you want to do it in Q1, but you're unavailable for a month.

Okay, let's see. March 18th. Yeah. Sure. Works good for me. I mean, you're going gonna forget why we have no what we're doing no no i will not this is what i'm excited 1 p.m 1 to 4 our time central time does that work or do you want to do it later like is it like no i don't care not good i do not i'm so

excited about mvp2 i'll do that at any time. I've got no preference. It's whatever works for all of you. Will you watch it in Vegas in June? No, I will not. I'll fucking throw hot sauce in your face, though. Oh, my God. That's aggressive. Good Lord. Yeah, what's up, Jeff?

Fucking delicious BTS sauce, Adam. Eric, can we release this as bonus supplemental content? Yeah, I don't... Honestly, I don't care. Sure. Can this be like how we schedule an episode? Yeah, honestly, call it, this is Eric's job every week across eight different shows. Just call it that.

Just call it, what does Eric do? And then it's this. Because this is it. This is it. Gavin, MVP 2, 1 to 4, does that work?

Or do you want a later time? What day is that? The 18th? Of March. It's a Friday. Of March. I forgot. I don't have a time.

Hold on. If you have something booked on March 18th. No, you know what? No, that's fine. It's fine. March 18th is good for me. Wonderful. I'm going to put it.

Well, I don't need to. You're going to send me. Gavin. Yeah, I mean, yeah, sure. I'm just making sure. I just don't know. I don't trust that. Sure.

I don't trust that at all. PM is better. Like, I don't. I mean, who could be that precise with what's happening a month from now? I'm not looking for you to be precise, but I'm looking for you to know kind of what your Fridays are sort of like sometimes. And if you go,

well, typically one to four, I'm not usually available before to seven. I'm definitely available. You're putting a flag in the ground for MVP too. I don't understand why this is an issue. Everything has to go around MVP too. I don't get why this is a problem. Something comes go around mvp tuna i don't get why this is a problem something comes up you're like can't do it i got an mvp2 flag do you think do you think

here's what we do gav here's what we do here's what we do here's how we here's how we eventize it so that it's fun it's fun for us to uh here's we the bean. Let's eat our beans from the bean hole while we watch MVP 2 on March 18th. Absolutely. So we need to get together two days before March 18th. Dig a hole, burn some wood, make some beans. Okay. So is that, so one to four works?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Gavin? We won't need that much time. Yeah, I mean, yeah, but also I don't know why you're asking me that I because you're the only one what do you mean? Yes, because what do you mean? What because every time I've asked Andrew and Jeff have both said yes, and you have given no answer. I just need you to say yeah. Yeah in theory

Yeah, are you saying we're bumpable? Is that what you're saying? That we can just be pushed to the side whenever you need to? That you're unwilling to? What if somebody sends you a save the date? What's your reply? Maybe, I don't know. If it's convenient for me. No, he'll respond with, in theory, yeah.

Look, I'll be on a job that could potentially overrun. I might be in the wrong country. I'm just saying. That's fine. That's a reason to bump it. I'm saying your Fridays at that time, typically, would that work for you? I would love you to have my life

and receive that question. And I think Eric would love a yes or no answer. I'm saying yes. I mean, in general, yes. That's it. That's it. No, that's it. But what you just said is what I needed in general that's it no that's it what you just said is what I needed

and that's it when can I confidently schedule you on something what's the latest is it three days like when could I when is a yes a yes any time from today until the end of the day I'm all yours so it's one day it's a one day schedule

I mean that's a safe bet okay I was just curious how safe safer than tomorrow i want to see a graph of like statistically the probability of it working for each day as it gets further out from like a hundred percent to a 90 80 four days ahead zero this is zero percent a great example is eric said can you do vegas in june right now imagine every single thing in your life was that question and you end up just being like yeah maybe sure who knows i get that but there's also caveats to you doing these things and those are the those are the things around it that I'm mostly concerned with. If whether or not you're in the country, that makes sense.

That's fine. I'm saying general one to four, or like maybe a four to seven or something, but also it's on the calendar now, but I've also scheduled bean hole for you and Jeff from five to six on Wednesday. That's just a space that I saw and I took advantage of. You do

with that what you want. That's just me being preemptive. Right? I didn't need a yes or a no for that because that to me is a theoretical. That's up to you guys if you want to do beans. I wish so much. much horses and doing beans this is just the best i understand hey gavin i understand if we get to even the week of or three weeks before or whatever and you go hey i can't that's completely understandable to me that is not i'm

not looking for you to 100 commit what level of commitment is this yes oh i wish i could that i would love to only do this in in life i would genuinely just i wish that was real me too man completely understand completely i'm just curious i'm'm not. I apologize. I'm coming. I'm being aggressive. I'm on payments. I'm sorry I said I'd throw hot sauce in your face, Gavin. I love you. If you guys.

I'm not trying to be antagonizing. I'm genuinely curious. What percentage would you say that yes is? If you owe out of 100, 100, would you say that's a yes? That's like a 30%. Like, what level are we talking here? Try to get an 80. That's great.

I like those odds. I would take those odds. Can I break in here for a second? I'm not going to put anything on that date. It's only if other shit goes wrong. Right, of course. Totally, again, totally understandable. Completely get it.

Terms apply. As someone who has been in your position, Eric, in the past with Gavin's schedule for years and years and years,

first off, you have my sympathy and complete and total commiseration and understanding. you have my sympathy and complete and total commiseration and understanding. But what I would like to add to it is I think Gavin is optimistically full of shit when he says 80%. I would put it at no greater than 24%. Here's why you're wrong. Here's why you're wrong. I've had stuff clash with every single live event we've ever done. I don't ever want to be on the marketing. I don't want to let people down

if they think I'm there or I'm not there. Anything, you know, someone could come in, there's stuff scheduled at the same time. You try and move stuff around. Yet, attended every single one. Yeah, because we weren't expecting you to show up. What does that mean?

We weren't counting on it. Because you were like a maybe. Right, but I went. Yeah, but you were never a yes. I know, but I'm saying it. It was like, maybe right but i went i'm saying you were never a yes i know but i'm saying it was like i'm gonna try and be there i'm saying maybe i'm saying a maybe i give you a 70 a yes 24 what does that mean what are you talking i saw the same thing not with you i want to do all of it that's's the problem. No, I understand. It's not a judgment. It's just, I'm just laying out the facts as I've experienced them in the past.

Listen, nobody gets your hectic lifestyle better. And I sound like Trump when I say that, but like, I understand your hectic lifestyle. I do. I really do. I have a, I've been where you are, maybe not to the degree that you're in, but you know, we've all been in this industry for a long time and I have a tremendous amount of sympathy I just think with you a maybe

is closer to a yes than a yes is I just don't want to let people down so I'm very wary of saying a straight yes when there's varying percentages based on how far away it is. I think it's very funny that like learning if you're going to be at a thing or not is equal to me learning

if it's going to fucking like rain on Friday like it's a 40% it's like your weather program of attendance but I don't blame you in any way for it. It's like the KXAN AccuGavin forecast and that's fine if we have to move The KXAN AccuGavin forecast. And that's fine.

If we have to move MVP too, because something happens on that day at that time, we can do that. I just wanted to go in with the best odds. And if you felt like the odds are in favor for one to four, great. But if you feel like four to seven is a better odds for us that's really what i'm getting at eric just said if you think something comes up in your life that will push back the homeless skateboarding monkey movie that's okay i mean i've come back for equally meanly stuff there was one week where i was working in la but because i'd already started the destiny raid in a video i had to red eye back to austin twice in the same week i there were two nights

in the same week where i slept in the sky like it was too much nobody i don't want you to do that for mvp2 do you understand i mean that's how much i would want to be i don't want i don't want that andrew might and jeff might i don't i'd like to want to ban it. I don't want that. Andrew might and Jeff might. I don't. I'd like to go on record as saying I actually do want that. Not just because of MVP 2, but also because there's a bean expectation now. And I feel like it's piling up to the point where now

I'm emotionally invested in MVP 2 because it's a vehicle to get my decade-long bean desire fulfilled. It's on the calendar. It's on the calendar. Nothing would make me happier than if you do the bean hole and then Gavin can't make it and you just have to live with the fact that you got beans in a hole you can't eat.

Oh my god. Oh my god. Well, that's the shitload of stuff that I don't want to miss so i'm gonna say okay just say maybe just say maybe it's a bunch of stuff i don't want to miss 80 percent can we just recap everything so on tuesday morning at 8 a.m central correct we're recording what episode yes and at 11 p.m, we're recording a second episode on Tuesday. Both on the calendar right now.

Correct. Then on Thursday, we're recording one more episode at a standard regulation. At our regulation time. And then on March 18th, we're going to eat beans and watch MVP 2. And then in Q4 of 2022 we'll have a Vegas event. That's where we are. Easy. We got it all scheduled.

Oh my god! What's happening? Was it too much? What happened? Dude, I was on COVID. Is this just going to go up as scheduling f scheduling face? Is that what it's going to be?

Yes. Yeah, this is it. This is, I mean, like. It's called Eric's job. Yeah, really. Eric's job supplemental. Eric's job supplemental. Great.

Great. We titled it a Q&A with Eric the first question is what is your job it's me asking all the questions and also trying to give all the answers great so okay so as always

if any of that needs to change please let me know as soon as possible I will keep you up to date thank you very much If any of that needs to change, please let me know as soon as possible. I will keep you up to date. Thank you very much. No, he won't. What do you mean? I'm always talking to Eric about the schedule.

Yeah, it's true. I can't fault you for being, you're not shady with your schedule. You're very forthcoming, and that's great. And that's why I felt like I could ask you. The second I know something, I pass it straight on. Yep, and that's why I felt like I could ask you I pass it straight on and that's why I felt like I could ask you do you think the odds are in our favor for 1-4 on March 18th I'm gonna get so much shit

if I can't be there but I want you to know if you can't be there that's okay we can reschedule if Gavin can know be there Andrew what I knocked over this giant cup of water like 30 seconds ago and I'm frantically looking for a towel and it just it started rolling over the edge

I've now slid into my desk it's just I'm absorbing it my underwear at the moment you're gonna hurt your other ankle what's there no I'm in a chair I just don't I'm gonna I got a slide to bathroom. I'll be back. I can bring you with me. Actually, you don't have to. We're done. This is it. We stopped half an hour ago. Everything's recapped. We're good. I'm still recording.

Just so we know, though, if Gavin can't be there on March 18th, I would like us to continue to record something about how he's not there. Oh, 100%. If Gavin's not there, we can still keep that on the calendar. Yeah, we'll just do something else. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

We'll make that. We got the date locked in. Yeah, so. The pressure. I'm going to be freaking out. Show up or don't, Gavin. We're going to have a blast either way. Show up or don't.

Oh, my God. I can smell a red eye in my future. No up or don't. Oh my God. I can smell a red eye in my future. No, you don't have to do that. God damn it. Oh my God. What is he doing? This, by the way,

I don't know if you picked up on that, but that means Andrew just performed this entire podcast Donald Duck in it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I'm wearing a door. He was poo bound. Yeah, he was wearing, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I'm wearing a door. He was poo bound. Yeah, he was wearing his

Yes. I've got a hoodie and sweatpants on. My house is freezing. Oh, do you not have power? I mean, I don't have heat. Oh, that's so sad he needs to be able to jerk off
