This is the 88th iteration of this podcast uh with me as always my name is jeff and then uh with me uh gavin and andrew uh take it away boys jeff you sound like you're in a really good mood i'm doing okay i'm doing okay how are you good i'm disappointed so i am oh no disappointed gavin what I'm very

disappointed in you what do you mean you remain unpleasant you are just as unpleasant as you were the previous week zero pleasantries for Gavin because I showed up at one o'clock and you showed up at one once again we had this whole thing I thought you bought in I thought you're gonna be a pleasant guy going forward your Your mood would be better. Still just as unpleasant. I'll be honest. I completely forgot about the pleasantries. Oh, of course you did.

You don't value the pleasantries. This is well established. We have so many pleasantries outside of school. It's not pleasantries. That doesn't count. We have zero pleasantries scenarios outside of there's one other thing okay i think for maybe maybe for episode 90 i'll attend the pleasantries that you can't what episode is this well wait what episode this is 88 i thought you're doing i thought you're

doing a sneaky thing i thought we're doing 89 we're doing two today and you're like i'll be there before the start of the 90th one. You're already here. Okay, I'm going to hold you to that. Pleasant Gavin, episode 90. Why don't you give me a brief summary of today's pleasantries and what was covered and what I missed? Okay, we were talking about arena names. Our favorite sports arena names. I guess it doesn't have to be a sports arena, although most arenas are for sports.

We're discussing that. All sorts of great names do you have a favorite arena name either of you well i feel a little on the spot right now honestly uh haven't had time to think about all my all of the different arena names around the world gavin you go i don't know a lot of arena names i know the ones that they uh made fun of in basketball like uh maxi tampon stadium or whatever but they were all just funny jokes. What are some of the real ones? Are they funny jokes? Because that's how arenas are named.

Like, I know that that's probably a joke, but it also is just sort of how they are. Yeah. My personal one was the KFC Yum Center. I love hearing about the KFC Yum Center in Kentucky. It'd be like when you watch a UFC event, they'll be like UFC 76 at the Yum Center. Two heavyweights going at it.

Like this is such a Eric had a great one for I don't remember what city it was for. Is New Orleans and they have the Smoothie King Arena or the Smoothie King Center. OK, I have one. The Boca Raton Bowl is the roof claim dot com Boca Raton Bowl is the roofclaim.com Boca Raton Bowl, which I think is because so many roofs blow off in hurricanes in Florida that it's such a big industry that the roof insurance company sponsored an entire bowl. Wow, Henry's really hitting it hard today.

Straight off the... It's a defiant thing. So the other day I was doing a different podcast I think I was doing the RT podcast from home and uh he started up and I had to take the I it's not that podcast they wouldn't get it you know so I had to take the football away from him and so I he was pissed off. He has more creative freedom while he's on for a day. Yeah, for like a day. And so I think that he's being defiant, but also he's checking like, wait a minute, I thought the rule was

I start squeaking when we're doing the podcast. And then I don't think he understands the subtleties between different podcasts. And so he's kind of looking at me right now with the football in his mouth going like, am I doing this or not? Like what? He has his role yeah exactly but there's no nuance to it that's the problem maybe that will be season by season six maybe he'll have

a variation of the squeak it won't be constant how much money does it take to get your name on a stadium like what's the shit is cheapest stadium you could get your name on a stadium. Like, what's the shittiest, cheapest stadium you could get your name on? Maybe the Boca Raton Bowl. How many seats is a stadium? What's the smallest stadium I could have? I certainly couldn't call a six-chair building an arena. World's smallest stadium? Is it a capacity thing? Or is it just like a specific facility within the stadium that classifies it as a stadium i don't know what defines a stadium does it need like eight food courts and then it's

a stadium it needs to serve at least three different variations of hot dogs and then it becomes a stadium we should look up the requirements because we could potentially build a very small face stadium i can't get the link to work, but according to Google, Eden Park in New Zealand is widely considered as the smallest international cricket stadium in the world,

but I don't know what the f***ing... Eric says a stadium is a place or venue, outdoor sports, concerts, other events consist of a field or stage either partly

or completely surrounded by a tiered structure. So it just needs tiered seating. Yeah. Yeah, we could absolutely make a stadium. Yeah, because this partly or completely surrounded by a tiered structure. So it just needs tiered seating. So it just needs tiers. Yeah. Yeah, we could absolutely make a stadium. Yeah, because this one, this cricket stadium has a capacity of 15,000 people.

I feel like we could come in way smaller than that. 15? Yeah, 15 people. Before we get away from the names, Nick said his favorite name was the Chick-fil-A Stadium or something like that in Atlanta. Is that where the Falcons play? Does that still exist?A stadium or something like that in Atlanta. Is that where the Falcons play?

Does that still exist? Well, the Falcons play in Atlanta. I know they play in Atlanta. I knew that part. I didn't know what their. So did Kanye West live in a Chick-fil-A technically for a while? Did he live in the stadium? Kanye West moved into the Falcon Stadium for a little bit.

He went through this whole thing where he's living in stadiums. They eventually kicked him out. Is that when he was doing his Sunday service thing? No, I think it was more recent than that. Oh. I assume more people were aware of Kanye West's stadium habits. What kind of room did he have? Did he have one of the... It's a great question.

He moved stadiums now because I feel like the playoffs were starting in the NFL or something. They're like, you can't still be here. You got to go. I think he's working on... It's getting great question. He moved stadiums, though, because I feel like the playoffs were starting in the NFL or something. They're like, you can't still be here. You got to go. I think he's working too loud. Yeah, it may have been the Sunday service stuff. It was recent. It was like within the last three or four months. Huh.

And I don't remember where he moved. I think he moved to New Orleans. He may have went from Chick-fil-A to a Smoothie King, potentially. Do you think that's a step up or a step down or a lateral move going from a Chick-fil-A to a Smoothie King. Potentially. Do you think that's a step up or a step down or a lateral move? Going from a Chick-fil-A to a Smoothie King? I haven't had either, but I feel like there's a Chick-fil-A is a more... I don't know.

Is it an electric fillet more? Has a company ever sponsored the name of a stadium and then not provided the catering for the stadium? Like, is there a Chick-fil-A stadium that doesn't serve Chick-fil-A? I would be shocked if the Chick-fil- is there a Chick-fil-A stadium that doesn't serve Chick-fil-A? I would be shocked if the Chick-fil-A stadium serves Chick-fil-A. It's certainly not on a Sunday when

they play football, right? Isn't that the point of Chick-fil-A? I guess. Yeah, they're closed on Sundays. Are they? I've never been. I've never, I don't have any. You've never eaten at Chick-fil-A in your life? No. I don't have any around here. They eaten a Chick-fil-A in your life? No, I don't have any around here. They got good chicken nuggets, man.

Do they? Oh yeah. Compared to like McDonald's nuggets. Where would you, how do you, how do you rank them? Uh, how do I rank Chick-fil-A nuggets? Yes. Amongst other fast food nuggets? Yes.

I think they're better than all the other fast food nuggets combined. Oh wow. Yeah. They're like, it's like a Yeah. It's like a different level. That's such a weird phrase. I like the idea of all the other fast food nuggets forming into a Voltron-like character. Yeah, that Voltron nug would not compare.

Yeah, is a nugget only good because of the ratio of the fried part to the inside? Like, if you had a big nugget steak, would it be less delicious? No. That's a chicken fried steak right isn't isn't a chicken fried steak just a big chicken nugget oh is that what that is i don't know what do you i think the most important part of the chicken nugget is the crunch for me it's just it's really the coating the breadinging. I want a nice crunch. I will say, I agree when it comes to McDonald's and those. You're in it for the breading, right?

But with Chick-fil-A, it's good all the way through, I will say. Does any nugget have the fried part on the inside? Oh, like an inverted nugget. Yeah, it's there. How would you do that? I'm sure that's doable. You'd have to just start start with ooh. What if you started with a tiny nug right? Okay, wrap wrap that in chicken Nugged it again and just keep doing it until it's like a nugg

sphere I feel like if I were to show you that product that you just created, you would be annoyed by it. You would hate it. The thing you just invented in your head. If I showed you a photo, you'd be like, who has the fucking time to do that? Get out of here. You would hate it. I love that you just invented that. I would say you, Andrew, are quite an expert in fast food because you've got the sauce empire.

I do. I think you could craft a really interesting, unique fast food menu item. I need to think about that. You're right. I think I could do something in the space. I'm currently, I feel like I'm taking down McDonald's right now.

I learned a secret. It's changed my life. My McDonald's order. Are you going to reveal the secret? Because you are going to not reveal it. I'm on the fence. I'm on the fence about revealing it because it's so good.

It's changed. It's changed my whole ordering process. You wouldn't even tell me about it. Why wouldn't you want to share it? Why would you want to hold on to this information? Because what if they because it's there? They're making a mistake, Jeff. The people, the McDonald's is making a mistake.

I don't know if it's local to my specific McDonald's. I have a feeling it's not. Are you worried it's going to be patched? I'm afraid that someone's going to go tell McDonald's what I have a feeling it's not. Are you worried it's going to be patched? I'm afraid that someone's going to go tell McDonald's what they're doing and it's going to get patched. And there's a whole other layer that I haven't talked to. You knew that I had a new trick, Gavin. You don't even know the side benefit of what I'm getting.

I'll say it. I'll fucking say it. Because everyone I've told didn't know this was a thing. McDonald's has a pancake Happy Me meal. They have a hot cake happy meal for the morning, but you get two, at least on all the promotional images. That's what makes it like the kids meal version of the hotcakes. You just order hotcakes. You get three. If you order the kids hotcakes, you're supposed to get two, but they don't know this. I just get three. So I order the kids hotcakes, which comes with a drink.

It comes with a hash brown, which is two dollars. And what should be two pancakes for I get three. So for the price of essentially one order of hotcakes, I'm now also getting a drink and a hash brown and a toy. How are you getting three? You're ordering three. I'm ordering two, but they just give three because I don't think anyone actually knows what like people don't seem to be aware that there is a hotcakes happy meal and nobody knows what it is so they give three they just give a standard order of hotcakes they're only supposed to give two so your secret to your secret uh cheat is you order the hotcakes happy meal and that's all you do well yeah because they give three they give three hot cakes instead of two and they give you a toy and you get a drink and you get a hash if i were to just order

if i didn't order this in happy meal right like i was just ordering all the items of it the hot cakes the three hot cakes is like four dollars eighty cents the hash brown is two dollars the drink is like another dollar i this is like an eight dollar meal i'm getting for five dollars plus i get a toy uh what's the change my mornings that's a fantastic question jeff what is the toy now originally right now they're doing sing two toys is their main thing who wants that they're not great they're not great toys but two times ago i opened up my box and i got a fucking beanie baby i got a beanie baby how exciting is that the whole beanie baby i got a whole beanie baby it was the greatest

morning i've had in quite a while it lifted my spirits i was excited about it then i realized the beanie baby was from 2019 that beanie baby's just been hanging out in that McDonald's since before the pandemic started. The world has changed since that Beanie Baby was delivered. Do you think it's even a McDonald's Beanie Baby, or do you think they're at a point now where employees are just trying to get rid of shit they don't want in their house anymore? I like your idea, but I think it's a McDonald's Beanie Baby. And I'll say why, because I think they're out of Sing 2 stuff, and so they're just giving away what they currently have. So I ordered a Happy Meal this morning. I got fucking Pokemon carts.

Ooh. Pokemon carts. A lot of people eat those now, right? I've been hearing that. I just can't imagine anything better at sucking up the fast food smell than the material used in a Beanie Baby. That thing must smell terrible. Nah, just listen.

It's in a bag it's got a you think the bag keeps all the the oil stink out i was gonna say it's got it's in a bag it's got a beak like the beak would be so if we're gonna talk about things that would penetrate the bag is a better option of the two what is the beanie baby uh it's uh it's guild of the flamingo birthday february 26 2017 guild of the flamingo i gotta admit i'm slightly let down by your get the fuck out of here get out of here i thought i was picturing get out of here i i was picturing you like on the kiosk being like uh like ordering on the screen being like well if you add this and then uh subtract this and you'd order this without the thing and then it comes and you get really you're just

ordering an item from the menu i have i've noticed a hole in their system i've noticed a mistake everyone i don't care about clearly no they could i i think listen why would they all started shit eric said i think your hack is good. No, it's a great hack because I'm saying... What's the hack? The hack, Gavin, is you get, for the price of three hotcakes, you're not just getting a hotcake. I don't know how many times I have to say it.

You're getting a hash brown, you're getting a drink, a delicious fucking apple juice, or a chocolate milk, or an orange juice. Your choice. You can make the decision. It's just sat on the menu can make it's just on the menu but it's at a cheaper price it's like half the price what do you want what do you fucking what did you expect me to say i ordered three big macs and a fucking sprite and it turns out

they deliver a porsche like what do you want me to say what's the hack well i think that the i think the hack if if you will, comes down to your local McDonald's doesn't know what they're doing. That's what I don't know. That's the possibility. Like, can you try a different McDonald's? Cause I looked it up on their website and it shows, it even says get two hotcakes with your choice of apples, hash brown, yogurt, or a drink. So they're advertising it as two on the McDonald's website. So I don't know that it's a hack as much as, as you just have a McDonald's that is playing fast and loose with the rules. The hack is that I don't think any McDonald's knows that they're only supposed to give two.

You don't think any McDonald's on Earth knows, even though the website knows, all the marketing materials know. I think the vast majority of McDonald's... You think that the mistake that your local McDonald's is making is global. Well, this is a perfect thing to talk about on a podcast. We got plenty of opportunities for field research. I want to know. People who order Happy Meals, get the Hot Cakes Happy Meal. Let me know how many hot cakes you get.

Yeah, get it if it's through the course of something you already do. Don't go out and buy a hot cakes happy meal just to give the mcdonald's corporation money just for andrew it's probably some secret like you got some sort of a secret deal on the back end here where you sell mcdonald's hot no absolutely i no i don't have i don't own any stocks in the mcdonald's company i'm not an investor i get no benefit from this i did the stock market thing once and it didn't work the way I hoped it would. I lost money. I bought Pizza Hut. It was during the pandemic.

I bought. It's so stupid. I bought Pizza Hut, which is Yum Stock, which is Pizza Hut. I bought a single share of Yum, my favorite arena, which is Taco Bell, KFC and Pizza Hut. And I was like, I think they're going to I think it's going to go up today. I think today's a good I think people are going to get lunch from them today. And then I sold as soon as I bought it, it tanked and went down. Then it went back to where I bought it after maybe two hours. And then I sold and I lost money on the transactional fees of the process hard to be a day trader it is i got out of the game so i don't know any mcdonald's stocks i have no incentive to

do so i'd just be curious because you're right i don't know that that is the argument unlike fucking gavin's dumb argument of it not being a hack in any way expecting a fucking rainbow of gold to appear if you order six things in a certain way. Someone's got to be on my side about this. No, no, I hear what you're saying. I have the reverse of that where I can't order... Ooh, Nick. Yes, Nick. What is Nick? I'm on

your side, Gavin. Yeah, I thought it was pretty clear that Jeff was on your side. I'm right there with you. Wait. I thought Jeff was with me. Why was I with you? I thought Jeff was with you. Wait. I thought Jeff was with me. Why was I with you? I thought Jeff was with you. I thought you seemed more supportive. You're

counter-argument. You're supportive of the hack. Yeah, I thought you were like, I don't have any... I'm saying that I don't think it's a hack. I'm saying I think that your McDonald's doesn't know what the fuck they're doing. That's possible. Okay. How did you get anything other than that out of what I said, Eric, I just didn't hear you.

I didn't hear you dismiss it as a hack. I just, I immediately, it was Jeff going, well, it sounds like your McDonald's just doesn't understand or did something. This is right. This isn't,

I mean, it was him saying it's not a hack without saying, I also said like, this would mean that every McDonald's on the globe is doing it wrong. And I don't think that's the case. And then Andrew was like, this is my backdoor opportunity to sell some fucking hotcakes. And, you know, I'm sure you get some sort of a vig on the back end from McDonald's. Nope.

I was just, it was, you did it politely, Jeff. All right. I apologize. I misunderstood the support. You broke my heart softly with it where Gavin was just like, this isn't. I misunderstood the support. You broke my heart softly with it, where Gavin was just like, this isn't... I just don't. Sometimes...

I thought, Jeff, you were like, this could be a good hack, but it's not a hack because of this. No, it raises the question that I ask myself all the time, which is, why do I talk? Wait, what?

Just generally? Like, there's like a 40% chance Gavin's listening to anything I say. Oh, what do you mean? And I would give's like a 40 chance gavin's listening to anything i say oh what do you mean i would give andrew like a 70 but even if i if you guys are listening and and everything i say is misconstrued anyway then just what's the point i i might as well just sit back and enjoy the podcast i it's i feel the same way a lot of the time not necessarily no you can't you can't feel the same way i already feel that way that's can't steal my feelings. No, I'm stealing your feelings. I feel that way, too.

You can't be a feeling appropriator. How dare you? I'm stealing your feelings. They're mine now. This is my insight. What about you, Gavin? What about me? Well, what do you mean?

In reference to I just stole Jess' feelings. What about me? Gavin, why are you in a bad mood today he's always in a bad mood i would say um yeah i do try and listen i was just i think i was still just thinking i was still just thinking about how it's so easy to hack mcdonald's because they have those screens where you can like deduct and add different things to different foods. And sometimes you end up with like a negative balance. I thought you'd done something like that.

I got that. But the other way, they're fucking me on the sausage. It drives upsetting to me. I can't I can't just order. I like a side of sausage with the hotcakes, right? It's a thing I enjoy. I can't. There's no ability for me to order just a side of sausage

through the app oh it has to come in an english muffin is the best i can do to get but you don't want the bread pot it's cheese and the bread part and i in that screen i can add an additional sausage for a dollar 25 so i know how much it costs to order one and i can do it but i need the bread part so if i wanted two just sausages i'd have to order one hot cake or not hot the english muffin and then an additional but the math doesn't even work out because you can also order a piece of cheese and an english muffin and it costs more to do that than it would none of it makes sense it's chaos what is your goal is your goal to save money mainly, or is your goal to get one over on McDonald's?

Well, it started to save money, and it ended up being I'm getting one over on McDonald's because I'm paying way less than I should be for what I'm getting. So it's a double win. Imagine the joy, Gavin, of thinking you're getting two hotcakes and you get three and then thinking it's a mistake that would happen once and it's happened every time.

Nick asked how many times I've done it. I've done it about four or five times at this point. And it's 100% consistency with your hack. 100% consistency. And the toy is changing every time. I don't even know what's going to be in that box. It's a mystery box. Every morning that I do this.

I thought they did away with toys. No. You can get book too but like why would I fucking yeah who can read yeah interesting I don't even know I speak completely regret learning how to read well congratulations on your hot cake hack thanks I think it think it's great. It doesn't sound anything like a hack to me, but let me be clear. Don't think it's a hack. Okay. If people order this that are based on your words,

if people who are ordering hot cakes naturally decide to order the Happy Meal, at what percentage do those need to come back with three for you to accept this as a hack? Nick says once is a mistake, four or five

times is a hack. I disagree. Four or five times is just a pattern. It's just a pattern of miscommunication and poor workmanship. I think it's just an uneducated workforce that doesn't understand the rule. I just feel like... What time? It's 11.23 your time.

I'm blown away that not only are you saying this is a hack you're doing this you're saying this is such a good hack no you didn't even want to discuss it publicly or tell me privately while we're playing halo because he's scared mcdonald's will plug this hole wait a second they're like somebody at corporate's like what do you mean we're giving away an extra free hot cake that's's my fear. There's only two in the picture. They're going to put a press release out that there needs to only be two. It'll ruin everything.

I put a lot on the line here, and I didn't stick shit on for it. God damn. A lot on the line? It's not even a secret menu item. No. Well, it's a secret. You get three. If you would look at the fucking photo, you would not know you're getting three hot cakes. I just gave you a i just gave you a little secret i don't cross reference a lot of food i get with the picture yeah i don't i guess that's fair i'm just saying if you saw it i may have been hacking

my entire life without knowing i uh i will say that the mcdonald's that i frequent kind of some but kind of close to my house uh they they've been going through some staffing problems which i think a lot of uh just a lot of establishments across the america have honestly uh but since then it's kind of a crapshoot what i get when i order something like they're very routinely do i order like a number one and end up with like somebody else's crispy chicken sandwich or an extra fry i don't consider it a hack i uh I consider it as a mistake. And I feel like that's what you're dealing with here. I think

Nick made a great argument of if it's consistently the same thing, I think that's not a mistake. I see what you're saying. I think it's just misinformation. I think the only argument I will accept is if it's just my McDonald's failing at their job. Then it's no longer a hack. That's like a shareable thing.

Okay. That's really the deciding factor for me. Well, Eric and Nick both think it's a hack. Now I'm, you know what? Hey, Gavin,

you asked me what my cool fucking, my, my ridiculous item would be. It's ordering two hotcakes and getting four. That's my fucking cool item. Cause getting an unexpected amount of hotcakes. It's called the hacker meal. And you get four fucking hotcakes. If we're following sock

logic, is that one spare or two? Uh, that's one spare. From a standard hotcake order. Four? Yeah. You get one extra. Good. That's on us. We mentioned a birthday during that. And I don't remember when or why someone's birthday was mentioned at some point i feel like we need to call out that it was don zimmer's birthday

a few days ago oh yeah monday it was don zimmer's birthday happy birthday to don zimmer how old would he have been oh that's a great question no i know it's a great question and i i want it to be known that i fucking have learned from my what was, oh fuck what was her name? Oh no oh no, I haven't learned anything apparently was it Leona Waddell? Was that her name? The Basket Woman? The Basket Woman, yeah

I had in my notes to bring up Zimmer's birthday happening and I knew that there would be a follow up question before that I wasn't prepared last time, I believe Zimmer would be 92. Oh, man. We've got to do a blowout for his century. We do.

We really should. We really should. 91, I was close. Do you guys think everybody associated with this podcast will be alive in eight years? Ooh. We could try. We could make a good effort. I don't want to go down this road.

Yeah. Well, I will certainly endeavor to be alive eric said no but he won't say who i'm kind of i'm kind of right there with you oh if everybody fucking starts getting three hot cakes you know who took me out you know who came for me ronald mcdonald is a menace is he still around ronald no he's gone oh like his caboose it's been stolen it It's been taken. He's no longer. They've gotten rid of all traces of Ronald McDonald.

This is, I want to say I'm happy that this episode, the last, so we have an intern listening for this episode that came with Eric. This has happened once before. Do you remember the last time this happened? That we had an intern listening as we recorded? Yes. Was it the, I bet you do. I sure do. Was it the condiments? It was the condiment episode. I feel like we have enough distance where we could talk about the condiments. It was by far our condiment argument

is not just within the context of the show, the most argumentative, heated, uncomfortable conversation I've ever had with jeff by far in our friendship i'd say as a whole between all of us it was the worst conversation we've ever had and it was recorded and as bad i feel like it probably sounded bad in the edited release it was oh unbelievably worse in the moment here's the problem when i get mad yeah so it was edited in such a way that didn't it was edited in such a way that i agree with by the way that i fully support that took that took away a lot of my arguments that i think made my point but unfortunately i made them in such a mean way

that they needed to be removed. I think you guys understand what I'm saying here, right? No, yeah. Oh, yeah, I was there. I think I was right, but I was right in such an angry way that as Nick is saying,

it took a lot of context away from me yeah i uh i really faced myself in being improving my point in the moment but proving it in such a cruel way that we had to cut it i i feel like i don't you definitely proved that condiments and what is the sauce what is it is a fucking impossible there's no good answer there's gonna like there's i feel like it's so hard to make a judgment i would say it was more of a condiment hack nick said it took away it absolutely took away context from jeff uh if i could have had you retake those lines it would have i would love it i would love a version where you're like really really agitated but all the lines you ADR are like really upbeat and jolly

and just cut in amongst the sour saltiness. I was a whole thing where I didn't realize that you were, it was whatever. It was the worst thing, the worst conversation we've ever had. And it was recorded on a podcast and it was a weird argument and it was in front of an intern. It was the only only it's the closest thing we've had to a live audience that wasn't like regularly part of the show and that was the

only thing i said they've heard for this is just the worst you didn't realize i was angry because i was still making jokes because that's how i deal with everything is is through you know anger sadness uh whatever through comedy but so i was still making jokes they were you were a furnace of rage and i didn't understand that and i kept throwing colon because i thought that we were doing a bit but we were no longer doing a bit so it was equally my fault you were throwing colon and it was somehow coming out as gold but like damaging the furnace as it was happening yeah it, I agree. It was gold. I feel like I was very funny in all that shit that got cut.

It's just unfortunately the audience can't hear it. But I was hilarious. I was making myself laugh as I was furious. Is it a type of thing that we could put out eventually? I don't think so. I don't think so. No, it was miserable. We're not going to glorify that recording. I say we do a vinyl release on the 100th birthday of Don Zimmer.

A vinyl of the most uncomfortable, not at all fun. In eight years. In eight years, Eric. What, you want to... Nine years? Yeah. What, do you want to stop this podcast earlier than that, Eric? What year?

So what, we're doing the vinyl in eight years? Well, I think it's nine years because Zim is only 91. Okay. Nine years. One of us will be dead also, apparently, by the time this releases. One of us will be gone, but we will get the vinyl a year later. Yeah. I mean, we don't need three of us to put out a vinyl.

Well, that's a good question. So I always assumed that when one of us dies, we'll stop the podcast because I wouldn't want to continue without all of us but will we still continue to release posthumous merch like if one of us dies three years from now do we just show up back on the scene

in nine years Nick can you please save can you put all of the edited out audio in its own folder and we'll release like posthumous albums? None of it makes sense. It's just all bad. It's just all terrible, uncomfortable pauses.

It's just silence. The sound. You can call it the sound of silence. I think it really annoys audiophiles if you say a vinyl. I think that's the incorrect terminology, isn't it? Put out a record. Put it out on vinyl? What's the correct... I don't know what I'm saying. I don't know what I'm... You can't buy

vinyls, right? You buy records or you buy stuff on vinyl. Gavin has never wished that he didn't speak more. I wish I never spoke. Yeah, you tell us, expert. You're the one with all the records. Got a fair few. You got three of everything, right?

speaking of things that that like just i don't know what you're saying you know like i just said what a fucking i'm i'm having a bad day i'm having a bad talk no not like actual bad my my communication is terrible today why did you text me by the way yesterday saying oh if i jump the gun i don't know what you're talking i don't know what you said to me i didn't i was i was scared to reply to it i was like this is some sort of setup i'm i can only mess this up i just ignored it well people understand why in the future okay i texted you jingle jingle jingle because I was doing something and it were related to the thing I was doing and I expected you to reply But then you didn't and the longer you didn't the more weird the text felt

Honestly, I read the text and usually I'm I'm usually excited to see a text from you It's like there are certain people in my contacts where if I get a text I'm excited Jeff andrew both on those lists you sent me jingle jingle jingle and i was filled with dread i was like what does this mean for me i'm so sorry i was like oh i'm sorry i'm getting played somehow i'm gonna respond to this wrong i just couldn't deal with it i just had to stare at it and be like oh no without any yeah i understand if you would have replied in any way i would have immediately explained out of panic anxiety of i don't think you know what if he doesn't know what

this is which you didn't it definitely didn't i woke up this morning thinking about my jingle jingle jingle text you okay like i need to clarify this at some point um it's now that time no that's later that's a future that's a future we That's a future. We love mysteries this season. We'll let Jingle, Jingle, Jingle be a mystery. Okay, well, how far away is the solve to this mystery? Let's say two episodes from now. We'll talk about Jingle, Jingle, Jingle. Oh, my God.

All right, well, Gavin, we have ourselves a mystery. Okay. Let's put on our sleuthing hats and get our magnifying glasses. Gavin should be able to solve this. And let's solve, let's figure out what could Andrew possibly be talking about? Hmm. Hmm.

What was the context around, what was the last conversation you had with him before the jingle, jingle, jingle? It could be a story about three Santas as they go around hacking various fast food restaurants. I mean, it could be. I guess it could be a story about three Santas as they go around hacking various fast food restaurants. I mean, it could be. I guess it could be. Is there any...

What have you guys been doing together? Playing a lot of Halo, right? Could there be... Playing Halo. Any sort of a Halo connection there? Jingle, jingle. Hmm. Did you lose your keys recently?

No. Hmm. Did you lose your keys recently? No. Hmm. No. Had a door handle that almost exploded, but I don't think Andrew knows about it. Wait, what? What? Yeah, had a door handle go bad. Yeah, let's stop down.

Let's take a break from the mystery and get into this. Well, first of all, what did the bread clip say on it? When did it expire? That joke landed. That was a great joke. Let's talk about how well that went. That was a fucking holy shit. Did that bomb?

Everybody's dead. That's just fucking horrendous. Don't edit out that silence, Nick. Just leave that in. Oh, my God. Devastating. I was excited about that one, too my God. Devastating. I was excited about that one too. I thought that was good.

Why were you excited about that? I was like, hey, we're turning it into the bread clip. I thought it was a funny joke. Let's get a full mental process on that. I mean, I thought you were, I like the throwback. Yeah, I thought it was a good throwback.

Bread clips have been talked about recently. I thought it was a good throwback. I was excited about it. And it was a nothing. Well, let's not assume it's nothing. Gavin, did a bread clip have anything to do with your door handle exploding? No. No. Not as far as I'm aware.

Hmm. Well, that's too bad. I will say, Andrew. Trying to help you out there, Andrew. Excellent recovery. Because your reaction to your joke was, I thought, hilarious. Oh, for sure. Oh, it was, well, there's nothing. It was just, I thought, you could have told me that I dropped from the call.

It was so silent. It was as if I had downloaded the law again, the level of just not being able to, but I hadn't, so I had to live with it. But I want to know about your door knob exploding um anything to put him further away from that joke let's just keep driving away from the bomb site just keep going i'm a i'm a big handle guy uh not a knob guy when it comes to doors and i have a major issue with my cat uh getting into the bedroom at night you know we can attempt to lock the door from the inside but he just twats the handle over and over and over again and

eventually he gets in because he can open the doors so i thought we need a handle that only humans can use so i got a fingerprint scanning handle um eric says that's a knob. I don't want the knob, Eric. I don't like the feel of a knob. What do you mean? How much of your life do you spend with a knob in your hand? Man, it's like less than two seconds. To me, there's so much satisfaction lost

in a doorknob that you just lose all of the satisfaction from the handle. What? Am I alone on this? Yeah, but it's the knob feel. Not a fan of it. The action with turning a knob and the action of turning a handle are the same.

It's just your hand is in a slightly different position. There's just a more positive feel, feedback. There's like a nice haptic feedback from a handle that I think a knob is lost on. A knob, you don't always know when you're at the end of the knob reach and then eventually your hand has to slide where the knob stops and I hate I don't like that feeling a handle ends you know handle pull has a hard stop on it but your hand doesn't keep going anyway I got a cheap I got a cheap piece of shit 35 dollar fingerprint reading doorknob

and uh that was my first mistake i probably should have gone for one that was more expensive and i don't want to use the fingerprint part of it i just want it to you know read any fingerprint because i don't think smi knows about the fingerprint part i don't think he knows to sort of touch his little beans against the fingerprint reader. So he just hits the handle and it doesn't go because he hasn't touched the capacitive part. And it

took four AAA batteries. And I think when I was installing it, I may have kinked a wire or done something when I was putting the cover back on to the point where I was testing out the handle. I was like it, I may have sort of kinked a wire or done something when I was putting the cover back on to the point where I was testing out the handle. I was like, oh, this seems to work pretty well.

This me can't open it. I can open it. Anyone can open it. That's great. But then I started to smell something. And then I realized on the inside of the room, the handle was insanely hot to the point where I was like, I couldn't even touch it for more than three seconds.

I was like, oh, it's burning me. And then I saw the little cover start to more than three seconds I was like oh it's burning me and then I saw the little cover start to bulge and I was getting really worried because I'd already put away my screwdriver and stuff but I was freaking out ended up running to my garage to get my tools because I thought the door handle was going to

explode I made it I made I made it back in time I got the thing off it was like burning me it was like shit was melting inside it was starting to stink I just flung the batteries out because they'd all started to sort of angle outwards i think there was some sort of piece of the board that was like a capacitor or something that was about to pop or something like that but uh it was just really a continuation of my bedroom problems that i don't think most people have you know like the exploding apple remote the ripped sheets the exploding door handle but i know a little part of me thought i should have just waited to

see if the door handle exploded but i just didn't want to burn the room down because i'm sort of still in that phase of i want to be careful in this room yeah because shit keeps going wrong in it okay did you did you check the reviews to see if anybody mentioned spontaneous combustion uh i'll be honest it was a pretty poorly reviewed door handle we can't we cannot like get you cannot get away with the statement you just made you're like i've been having bad luck in that room doorknob almost exploded the exploding apple remote you broke the apple remote you snapped that in half you decide you made that decision they're not the same thing andrew it's all my fault i can't be blaming any of these things i decided to do all of these things well maybe i mean the sheet was an accident i wasn't trying to break that but it was all me doing it

didn't you break your bed in a different way that you didn't you think you didn't mention on the show is that a thing did i make that up uh are you are you thinking of you andrew no i'm not thinking of me my bed is fine i have a bed frame on my patio still but outside of that everything's good what how did my bed break you might be right i don't know i think you said that you it broke a second time or something else happened to it but i guess i'm wrong i guess i made that up for some reason that's something that you don't remember. I don't remember. Jingle, jingle, jingle. I swear to God, if we're playing Halo later and you're like, hey,

oh, I just remembered the bed thing. I'm gonna kill you. We will not. Definitively, we will not all be here in eight years. You will be dead. I just need to stop messing with stuff. I'm gonna text you at like 11 o'clock tonight and go, oh, I just got that bread clip joke. Really funny. What's up, Eric?

Oh, yeah. Do you have a knob now? Honestly, I still think the exploding handle is better than the knob. You're insane. Shut up. Why? Are you serious? Shut up. What? What are you talking about? You're out of your mind. You're going to burn your house down. Four AAA batteries are going to burn

your fucking house down because you have a cat he's he's certainly not using the battery part now right like it's just you have a knob that doesn't have a thing you just have a knob i rearranged i rearranged the wire and i packed in oh you're fucking you're a fucking lunatic i think it was an error with one of the batteries oh you are an insane person i packed in four new ones monitored it and i have you know fingers crossed a relatively cool fingerprint doorknob handle shit that works and i think i think i'm gonna keep it for now because i still think that's better than a knob between jeff's bikes and your doorknob batteries are just a no-go for this show. Can't enjoy batteries.

They will always explode. They're dangerous. They are dangerous. I don't know if we talked about it, but I really appreciated Jeff that your bike essentially kept exploding every time you'd ride it and that you had multiple times of, like, after the first time it exploded, you didn't give up. You're like,

we'll give it another go. I made another fix. Hopefully, it won't explode this time. Process of elimination. You got to try all the different permutations until you narrow it down to what the real problem is. So is every single person in disagreement about the knobs before we move on? Yes.

Yeah. Yeah, you're in the wrong here 100%. Okay, so what if you have... No. You've got something in both hands. What? You need to use an elbow to open the door. You're shit out of luck with a knob.

David, not only are you wrong about this, you are so wrong that it makes my McDonald's take look even more right, because if you disagree with that being a hack... Nick said he likes handles. Handles are great, but I don't... I'm not pat... Like, I don't... I've never considered...

Nobody hates handles. This isn't an anti-handle thing. Yeah, nobody's anti-handle here, man. I think it was a pretty pro-handle podcast. We're also just pro-doorknob and pro-common sense. Hmm. Well, I mean, what would your solution be? Just go with a knob?

Deal with it? Yeah! Go with a knob! Is it weird if all of my doors have handles and one's got a knob? Is that weird? Yes. Yes, that is weird. Do, yeah. I don't want to redo the whole house. Right, but also your house burning down because of one knob is also weird if you think about it.

We really should have saw it coming after it exploded the first time. So wait a minute, so you installed this handle recently. Before that, it was a knob? No, before that it was a handle. So your whole house has been handles this whole time. When you moved in, was it all handles? Or did you move in and go, oh, look at these fucking knobs. I'm not about it. Let's get this fixed.

Yeah, it was handles to begin with. Handles to begin with? You got a handle house. That's interesting. Apart from a few pocket doors. Yeah. Huh. I wonder if, because you have a newer home, I wonder if knobs are on the way out.

I wonder if handles are like the new hotness. That's an interesting question. No, I think it's just taste. Because my house is very old. My house is very, very old. But it's all knobs. It's Knob City. What about you, Andrew?

I don't know if I've ever lived in a house that was knob-centric. I'd say majority handle. Eric says no. Handles are for office buildings. Knobs are for homes. I've always thought handles were default, and knobs are for apartments.

I'm not sure. I'm trying to think about... I feel like knobs are better suited for other people entering a room. It's more like keys and knobs. Wasn't the whole basis for when we were selling bat knobs, didn't you want that to be a knob? Is that the only time you've ever fought for a knob? You've advocated for the knob?

Well, a bat with a door handle at the end would be a bit weird, don't you think? Well, no, I feel like you wanted it to be like a cabinet knob, essentially, was what you described. That's the point you wanted. Well, cabinets, you don't have cabinet handles. Wait a second. We can't go back to this. We cannot. That's in a different season.

We can't go back to the knob conversation, please. We can't. I don't know. Maybe we can't i don't know maybe we can i think if you're gonna do this you gotta you gotta be a fucking man about it and you gotta get rid of every knob in your house which means you can't have a knob on any of your cabinetry in your bathroom your kitchen anywhere you have to handle all of your kitchen counter or cabinets the the fucking under your sink that's all gotta be handles if doorknobs were like our bat knobs, a little bit more ergonomic for the hand,

I think I'd be into it. I just don't like grabbing a sphere. It's not very satisfying to me. Now, I do like grabbing a sphere. I find spheres to be incredibly... A sphere is what you want to throw. You want to put your hand around. It feels good to hold a baseball.

A sphere is great when held from underneath, but you don't grab a doorknob from the bottom i i can't follow that line of thinking i don't even know what to say about that what if your doorknobs were baseballs what about that would you be okay with a knob i'd be fine with that because the grip would be excellent it's the slip at the end of the doorbell of oh god the door i really do wish i'd never started talking yeah isn't it terrible at least we're listening to you speaking is always a mistake um i realized i don't even know how to phrase this. Talking. I'm having a bad talk day. I got so excited. I woke up and I saw that the company that made Garfield Kart 2,

Furious Racing, announced that three more Garfield games will be coming out over the next few years. This is the Italian company? This is, I think they're French. They're Microids is their name. And I was so excited that I was like, I need to retweet this like I need to I need to

retweet this I need to quote tweet this and so I first I just retweeted it by mistake without putting anything there then I here I'll post it I'll post to the discord so you can read it Gavin then you can see what I did when I followed it up with I made I made a quick adjustment i'm like no can't can't read that you can read read what i wrote beings my dynasty beings was my second attempt and i felt like you replied to it. You left and replied. I did. Beings, I suck. Because I felt like you can't retry three times. So I'm now stuck with beings, but I have to. Much like my great bread clip joke. That was today as well. We're having a bad words day.

That looks great. Jeff just posted a photo of a door that has two baseballs as the knob. That looks awesome. That's got to be. We've got to all three of us do our offices like that. just posted a photo of a door that has two baseballs as the knob that looks awesome that's gotta be we've got all three of us do our offices like that yes i support this oh looks like those are atlanta braves baseballs we need well okay we is it what version of zimmer it's cubs right for what for the like if we're getting baseballs, I feel like they obviously. The boys of Zimmer was Cubs era.

Yeah. So we got to get Zimmer signed balls? No, I'm saying we have to get Cubs balls. If they're Braves, like if we're clearly aligned with Zimmer. Well, we may, we're making face baseballs. So, cause I got to hit them all. We are. That's true. I can't wait for that.

It's going to be. I have a, I have a Ken Griffey Jr. Ball I could use for my handle yeah yeah yeah why do you have that uh i just did a video with him and he signed it oh that's nice he's a nice guy is he have you met ken griffey jr i have never met him but they say uh he's just lovely they say that's so exciting everything i've read is that he's just like he's just a delightful person but But I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong.

Gavin, what was your experience working with Ken Griffey Jr.? The man who, by the way, to this day, I think, probably had the most natural swing in the history of baseball. Just a beautiful swing. I'm sure Gavin would agree. Sweetest swing in baseball. Sweetest swing. I'm just going to composition. Ken Griffey Jr.

Ken Griffey. Where would the nickname go for a ken griffey jr i feel like it's tough to have the middle like the nickname in the middle when you have three names or when you have a junior on it do you know what his nickname was gavin no i don't know what was his name well he had two uh i remember him being referred to as the kid a lot but they also called him junior because his dad ken griffey senior also played baseball so uh his nickname was the kid or junior and until injuries he was uh probably going to go down as one of the greatest players of all time i mean i guess maybe he still has but yeah i mean having never really seen a baseball game uh i didn't know of his career but i knew the name did you ask him about the staple didn't ask of his career, but I knew the name. Did you ask him about the staple? Didn't ask him about the staple.

Honestly, I didn't really want to ask him about anything that he'd done because I just didn't want to embarrass myself in front of him. Yeah, yeah, sure. I feel like if I was Andrew, I would have sent him an email before he showed up saying,

I don't like your games of baseball. No. Just so we're on the record, I don't like the Seattle Mariners, and I never have. Anyway, it's nice to meet you. But yeah, he was nice. He was injured, actually, when we...

I felt like he was in pain while we were filming with him. He'd hurt his foot. It would describe most of his career, unfortunately. He was a trooper, and he slammed some balls. And the balls that he missed, or he didn't go for, Dan caught, and one of them broke his finger so great dan partially holds ken griffey jr responsible for his broken finger so tony hawk broke his wrist and king yeah indirectly i'd say yes oh man uh we're getting the the rap sign from eric um i do

feel like though we should mention at this point uh that i believe the tiki toilets are out they're out yeah yesterday we should mention that depending i think this i think this is tomorrow for when you hear this it's very exciting i can't speak today i'm rattled i've been what are you yesterday they came out. They came out on the 1st of February. But it's not that day for us. I've noticed that there's six people on this Discord. We have Nick, Eric, and Kat. What if the three of us just sub out and they can do the next one?

I don't think that's part of Kat's internship plan to take over an established podcast. I don't think it could be that much worse than the three of us trying to talk again. The bar is low. I'm just glad that we don't hate each other by the end of this one. And I'm very excited. Let me properly

not sell, but talk about the port-a-potty I bought while I was... You alright? The porta potty. I bought one. Are you all right? No, I'm not. No, I'm not. I bought one a year ago. On February 1st.

It's a year. They come out on the same on the anniversary of when I bought them. Which is kind of cool that it's coming out on the anniversary, but also just goes to show you how difficult supply chain issues are right now. We tried to buy that, much like the fuckstick, which we bought and ordered in a fucking break show, which is, by the way, no longer on order. We're still working it out.

We've suffered some fuckstick setbacks. It took a year. It took a year for us to get these port-a-potty tiki mugs made. Andrew's lost his shit. There were quality control issues with the first couple suppliers and then the supply chain. And now, a full year later, we have pink porta potty tiki mugs, and I would

certainly appreciate it if you are in the market for a tiki mug. I would certainly appreciate it if you would buy them, because for some reason, they bought a thousand of them. They are awesome. They look really cool. I lost it because Gavin had the least genuine

oh I've ever heard. When I least genuine. Oh, I've ever You're like oh No, there was zero intrigue in that. Oh, I was talking you're like whoa Thank you. Thank you, Randy. What do you want from me? What do you want from me? I don't know what I'm supposed to do. I sound even slightly interested. Even when the stripper said interested. I'm like, dang it, I'm 40. I think what it is, no, I think what it is,

is that in my head, you were playing it up like you'd maybe bought another port-a-potty. And when you said it was just a year since you bought the old one, I was like, oh, I don't think I was disappointed. I just was expecting something different. No, go back and listen to that. Can you give us about 10% enthusiasm, Gavis,

and try to sell us on these tiki mugs we bought, these port-a-potty, the tiki toilets? I could try and give the O again, like do a second take. Okay, I'll do it. Give me a second. All right, you want to set me up? So I bought these porta-potties a year ago to the date when they're going up to be sold,

and you're going to be able to buy your own porta-potty. But it's cheaper, and yours actually does them. Are you going to stop talking so I can say O? No, you said the O while I was talking last time! Oh! What do you mean? Sorry, I forgot what I delivered. Why make me do it again?

It was just a never-ending turn. I was waiting for you to be done. What are you talking about? I didn't want to interrupt! You always interrupt! That was the one time! Go again, go again. Okay.

I bought a port-a-potty a year ago! Oh my god! Jesus! That was pretty good. Like and subscribe. Buy a tiki mug. Also, nobody bought the Vancouver Child Kicker skateboards. Clearly, you guys don't want to skate.

That's fine. But if you do find yourself in need of a skateboard deck, we're sitting on a mountain of them. I haven't been sent one. Well, we got extras. I want, I want, I want to, go ahead. No, just fucking, guy who never interrupts, go ahead. Just fucking walk all over me. What are you saying?

I'll pause. Go ahead. No, no, no, you got the floor'll pause. Go ahead. No, no, no. You got the floor, friend. Go ahead. I'm sorry. We need to do two of these. That seems like a good place to end it.

Bye. Hey there. It's Minor League Fan Jack here with a look at next week's episode of F*** Face. It's a triple start. Jeff is royalty. Andrew is either going to cheat or lose. Gavin brings up friends again. The boys discuss pizza consumption. And once again, Andrew does not eat the pencil. All that and more on next week's episode of F*** Face.
