Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello and welcome to another episode of the F*** Face Podcast. This is episode 69. No importance to that number, really. It's just the one that follows episode 68, comes right before 70. With me, as always, Andrew Panton from Canada, Gavin Free from England, Eric Bedore from the land of San Diego, Nick Schwartz, I don't know where Nick is.
Starting point is 00:00:33 Nick is from Austin, Texas, I've decided, and I am from Mobile, Alabama. And together, every week, we sit down and we talk about tarot cards and tarot card readings. Andrew, you were saying? Well, I was just, we talked about, we have that Rookie of the Year bet. And I had somebody reach out a long time ago, back when we're talking about doing it with basketball. And I'd been meaning to email them and they reached out over Twitter last night about the bets and being willing to help send some, some positive magic towards the players of our choice.
Starting point is 00:01:07 And part of that was I got to have a tarot card reading on the bed, got to kind of get an analysis of how things are going to go. Essentially from my memory, the first card I got said that my, my strengths are in my ambition and sneakiness, but it may cause resentment and, uh, strike is the may just strike through the word may. are in my ambition and sneakiness, but it may cause resentment. And... Strike is the may.
Starting point is 00:01:27 Just strike through the word may. Yeah. And the second card was like, I'm holding on to the past, which could be bad bets lost in the past, which is path of gambling, if not 80%. It's like that's all gambling is,
Starting point is 00:01:41 is you having regret about things you've done. I don't remember. I think the third one was like success would come from teamwork and something i don't remember how it would work exactly like this team like face i mean you could interpret that in so many ways maybe the success of of justin fields is in his teamwork or or the players were going to pick but essentially i opted i had to make a choice because the interpretation was that the magic would be most powerful if focused on only one person but i didn't want to risk the resentfulness that may come with that so i put everything on jeff and my player and gavin i didn't send anything your way because i figured you're naturally lucky enough
Starting point is 00:02:21 you don't need it it's true mac going to be fine. Poor Mac Jones. He's not going to be doing as well. No, you don't. I love that you remember how to say his last name. I got told by Eric. I think what you need to evaluate, Gavin, is your natural luck opposed to my bad luck that the magic needs to counter.
Starting point is 00:02:41 It's a much deeper hole for the magic to take effect on my side. I don't think i have good luck i think i have luck boosters like if your luck is bad i'll make it worse wherever i'm deciding what you bet i'm like a like a luck catalyst it's true i don't think i've ever won based off of advice given by you and we've done this on the show and off the show. I think I'm like 0-7 based upon Gavin's guidance. Eventually, you should just go in on like a million dollar bet.
Starting point is 00:03:16 Because if you've lost 10 times, you can't lose 11. That is such a gambler's mentality. That is completely wrong. And I love it. I completely agree with it cannot possibly be read again oh it's right well it can't there's no way it will be read one more
Starting point is 00:03:31 time man I know there's only there's only so many face hours in a face day yeah but I would love some shoulder content for this podcast that you getting your tarot reading recorded. Oh, well, it's already the tarot's done already.
Starting point is 00:03:48 I'm going to always do it again. We get it. I just think that that like, especially in the context of this bet, I always feel like we should have all three of us do tarot readings and have them have them be recorded. They scare me to the audience. Well, this is scary territory, buddy. We're dealing with we're dealing with the dark arts my first ever tarot reading the very first card that i ever like i don't even know the cards at this point pulled the card death that's not then i was told that it's not actually
Starting point is 00:04:15 that bad and you don't want to pull the tower but bullshit that's a bad card that's not a bad card that's just changed the tower the tower is a bad card for sure that's the one you don't want to pull i feel like the death card is like the ace of a blackjack card like the equivalent of it's very powerful or useless like it could be an 11 which could be very useful to you as long as the death isn't pointed at you that's a powerful card i mean i don't understand terror works but i don't think death necessarily is a bad thing. It's not. It really isn't. In the tarot world.
Starting point is 00:04:49 Oh, man. Horseshit in general, isn't it? None of it's bad. It's paper. Well, you say that now, but let's see who wins this bet. Yeah, exactly. I'm the James Randi of this podcast. Well, I'm glad that I didn't put
Starting point is 00:05:04 any magic towards you. It would have been a waste. Andrew? I was right all along. I'm the James Randi of this podcast. Well, I'm glad that I didn't put any magic towards you. It would have been a waste. It would have been a waste on you. Andrew? I was right all along. Yes, Jeff? Can I ask you a question? Of course.
Starting point is 00:05:11 Gavin, this is not for you. Please do not participate in this portion. Andrew, do you know who James Randi is? Yes. Yes, I do. Who is he? He is a, I believe, he's a skeptic, right? Generally speaking, he's somebody who has debunked several people he
Starting point is 00:05:25 used to work on the tonight show a lot where he'd come on and like debunk people that claim that they had psychic abilities he's okay i think he's also a magician maybe yeah he was like the great randy but i guess uh when uri geller came on the the talk show was it carson at the time asked uh james randy how to mess with gala's like spoon so he deliberately didn't have and he didn't allow the crew of yuri gala to get anywhere near all the props so he just sat there for like 20 minutes trying to bend a spoon but because he couldn't he didn't pre-bend any of them he couldn't do a trick but it somehow made it somehow made yuri gala even more famous and it didn't tank his careerend any of them. He couldn't do his trick. But it somehow made Uri Geller even more famous, and it didn't tank his career in any way.
Starting point is 00:06:08 It's very interesting. I feel like there's a clip of Randy on a show, and it was a guy claiming that he could move things with his mind, and he was going to open a phone book or change the page of a phone book. But really, he was just blowing on him. Yeah, he's essentially either blowing or like directing the the wind of the room like he was just it was clearly like he's just using the effect i think he was blowing as you said so randy put all these fucking little pieces of paper around it so i couldn't just
Starting point is 00:06:34 yes i couldn't just move the thing it's great and the guy is like hmm no yeah i can't i can't do it now for some reason there's like There's a lot of strategic squatting by that guy in that video of trying to get into the zone, pretending he's trying to get the right... He's dressed like a martial artist. He is, yeah. I forgot about that.
Starting point is 00:06:56 But yeah, I'm very familiar with him. He's great. I'd never heard of the guy. That's funny. That's interesting. Is he British or American? No, he died recently. He did.
Starting point is 00:07:03 But did he die British or American? He was American. He was American. Oh, Canadian. Canadian? I don't know. Maybe American. I don't know, actually.
Starting point is 00:07:11 I just know he's not British is actually the answer to that question. I don't know anything beyond that. Oh, Eric's typing Canadian-American. Well, there we go. We're both right. In the world of solving things, I want to talk about a thing really quickly because the the episode we recorded last week the first one aired
Starting point is 00:07:28 and which i talked about my shift key realization oh yeah i didn't know that shift could capitalize a lot of people talking about it saying they don't believe that that was a thing that i could do and so i i was fascinated because i genuinely didn't know that that the shift capitalization was a thing and how is this possible and Gavin you brought up the phone the phone has the symbol for it which I didn't really understand so I'm gonna I'll pull up tablet get this ready so I that is only useful if you know that the shift key is supposed to capitalize right so if you have no basis of that even if the symbol is the same that doesn't
Starting point is 00:08:06 mean anything i always interpreted that symbol as it's an uppercase like it's gonna uppercase your letter so that's my phone keyboard it's not one-to-one to my real keyboard so there's i didn't view so people have said like like, oh, well, the symbol's on the fucking keyboard. How did you not make that connection? I've used Mac keyboards almost my entire life. There's no symbol on the shift key. That symbol's not there. I don't use a PC keyboard. So you're saying you didn't know that was shift,
Starting point is 00:08:37 even though it's next to the Z. I had no idea that was shift. So the... You've been using the shift key this entire time. You just didn't understand that it was the shift key. No, no. The only time I would use shift, I believe, using the shift key this entire time. You just didn't understand that it was. No, no. The only time I would use shift, I believe, is control shift four, where you can then search for a specific word.
Starting point is 00:08:51 But I'm saying people saying like you, Gavin, that symbol represents shift, not on any keyboard I've ever used. But you have to. It's in the same place. Like you have to go there to hit a capital letter. What do you mean? Like what's next to Z on a keyboard on both keyboards? Yeah, but it's shit.
Starting point is 00:09:08 But I had no idea that shift capitalized. I've only been using cap lock and there's not a cap lock button on the phone keyboard. So I interpreted the up as the caps locks button, not the shift button, because that symbol means nothing. And I thought the upward arrow was like, we're uppercasing your letters. It is. It is saying it's uppercasing your letters. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:29 So that's just that. I just wanted to go over how this happened. My point being is you've been uppercasing your letters with the shift button on your phone this entire time. You just thought it was a caps lock button. Not knowing it was a shift. Yes. You just thought it was a caps lock button.
Starting point is 00:09:40 Yes. I thought that that was a caps lock button because I didn't know the shift did that. You might be right. Well, I mean, to be be fair they're built into each other like that that is actually both keys on the phone yeah if you double tap it it locks that was what i didn't realize um i think on the podcast we realized that i didn't understand that you could double tap the shift to caps lock and i was manually like holding it holding it down each time I needed to type an all caps word did you know Andrew that if you double tap it locks in the caps I've no I had no idea okay well I was gonna if you knew that I was gonna say I mean technically you're
Starting point is 00:10:16 kind of correct because it it serves the function of shift and caps lock and so this entire time if you've been using it as the caps lock you've been using it correctly I guess so you can tell all the comment leavers that you were right, and they were wrong I'm not it's not even a right or wrong is more Just how did I not make this connection before and I saw a lot of people bringing up the symbol being all shift key And it's not for my keyboard. I got an earful from minor league fan Jack just this morning about I was gonna say the same Yeah, he's he's andrew your biggest doubter he pulled me aside when i came into work yesterday and he was like so that shift thing's bullshit right like there's no way and i was like look i i think i think it's real i don't i would have gone on i what i'm curious about is how long it would have taken me to ever realize
Starting point is 00:11:01 that the only reason why I figured out the shift thing because I was talking to someone and I was like, don't you hate when you cap lock and you hit the wrong, like it's out of sequence. So the first letter's small and all the other ones are capitalized. And they explained to me, they said, you don't use the shift.
Starting point is 00:11:18 And I had no idea. No fucking clue. It's just something I didn't learn. I don't know how I didn't learn that the shift didn't. I don't have an answer for that. But i genuinely had no idea that if you held shift to capitalize letters well i mean there's also a way around your problem too in what way like when you're jesus like uh when you're out of sync like you can uh what is it it's like shift and f3 or something and it like flips the capitalization of all the letters that's not
Starting point is 00:11:42 real i think it's real. Is it Shift F3? Or something. I used to use it in Word. I guess I don't... I know one keyboard shortcut, and it's Control Shift 4. Outside of that, I'm never using that Shift button. Dude, you should give Shift a spin.
Starting point is 00:11:58 It is awesome. I tried. Like, once I heard, I'm still caps locking because it just feels more natural because I've been typing by hitting Caps Lock on the singular capitalization for most of my life. I guess all my life I've been typing. I'll say this. You figured out how to play how to use a video game controller wrong
Starting point is 00:12:14 and you're way better than I am at video games. So I'm not going to judge how you do it. Yeah, that was another weird thing where I didn't realize that there was another way to hold the controller. It just seemed obvious that you would do that. It blew my mind when you're like, no, I have both thumbs on the analog sticks. Wait, what are you... He's a claw guy. Yeah, I guess it's called the claw. I didn't realize that until after I used it.
Starting point is 00:12:35 So you're like fingers on analog stick? Well, I guess I have my thumbs are on the analog stick, and then I bend my finger to cover all the buttons. I guess the issue is more that Jeff removes the ability to look around. Like when you hit a button he uses his thumb so then you can't move your head and shooters. So I just bend my finger over to
Starting point is 00:12:54 cover all the buttons so I never have to let go of the sticks. You can avoid that actually with the paddles now on the Elite controllers. I own an Elite controller but I never use the paddles because I already just do that with my fingers i don't have much of a use for the paddle system i don't like those paddles it's over complicated and if you slam your controller down they fly off that's how i feel about the shift shift doesn't go anywhere buddy no it doesn't
Starting point is 00:13:21 it stays on it's not like that game we have to put the symbols in before it explodes. I'd love if keyboards did that, but the point of it's overcomplicated in my head. I just hit the caps lock key, then I hit it again. It's not a big deal. I just wanted to explain. You're just describing something more complicated
Starting point is 00:13:36 because you have to do two things. That's fun. Who doesn't like hitting a button? I love hitting a button. I'm going to go on record, Andrew, and say that I believe you, even though not many of the comment leavers and certainly not minor league Jack do.
Starting point is 00:13:51 I think that you're being totally honest and I can see how it would happen as someone who still, you know, who still has the Roman numeral problem. I completely and totally can see how you would miss this little bit of information and then you look up and it's so many years later and you
Starting point is 00:14:07 beat all of Crackdown without Autolock. Yeah. I didn't know about this Roman numeral problem that you have until last week. It's been a big deal my whole life. But why don't you just sit down and learn them for like an hour? Dude, I tried. I don't know if I told you this or if I mentioned it.
Starting point is 00:14:24 I feel like I've talked about the Roman numeral issue so many times it's over-talked, but across podcasts and stuff. But I used to have a laminated card in my wallet that I could use
Starting point is 00:14:33 as a quick reference that somebody gave me. I mean, really, you only need to know between one and 12. Then anything else is bullshit, really.
Starting point is 00:14:44 I mean, until you get to the Super Bowl. Yeah, the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl had like L, didn't it? I bet I like college football better than pro football subconsciously because
Starting point is 00:14:58 the Super Bowl confuses me. There's no Roman numerals in college football. I like it's the least important detail though of the super bowl is it i think it is the number of which one it is i think it's important to know when it is yeah like what super bowl it is i don't feel well i guess you could make an argument for that but i feel it's not a number if somebody tells me is not a number oh it's a number yes oh it's a number somebody says like l lv1 i won't know what that means but if they're like the the chiefs patriot super bowl
Starting point is 00:15:32 i will know what that is what annoys me about roman numerals is the imbalance around a letter so like a four will be like, like one before the five. And then you have five. And then you have five I. And then also five I and then a five I I. Like, why isn't it two either side? Instead, it's one one way and three the other. Yeah, it's stupid. It's pretty mental.
Starting point is 00:16:00 It's too confusing for a fully formed adult brain to work out. They need to get you in the third grade when you still haven't cemented all those connections. When you're still moldable. Because now, I can't. It's nonsense. I had a friend at school who thought, he'd only read it, he'd never seen it read aloud. He thought the guy's name was Henryry vill but it was henry the eighth oh man gavin uh i ran into you by the way this is getting weird i ran into you at the office this morning where i was going to record my audio only podcast that I do that's not this one.
Starting point is 00:16:45 And then we said hi to each other. And then we agreed to hang out later when we both leave work to come home to record this audio-only podcast. Well, we can't record in person without Andrew because of the imbalance. I agree with that. And also, I don't know, man. Even if I could at work, I feel in my zone here for this podcast. I feel safe. I've got all my treasures around me.
Starting point is 00:17:12 I've got all my baseball cards. I've got my egg card. I'm ready to go. I feel like you also just need that environment because it's such a big part of the show. It took forever to build. You're moving episodes because of it. Hitting your head on the desk. It's a character, I'd say.
Starting point is 00:17:33 Yeah, that's a good point. It is funny, though, to run into Gavin at work and then agree to go home so we can work. It is. Yeah, you joined us while we were scooting around on our various segways and one wheels. Dude, two days in a row, I've come into the office now that the world is, you know, we're starting to emerge from our pandemic caves. And two days in a row, I've been at the office and seen you at the office.
Starting point is 00:17:57 And for a brief moment, I almost felt like we worked for a real company again. Yeah. And then I got on my bicycle and I rode home. We did a pretty good prank on the meeting you were in yesterday that's good very very can we talk yeah this hasn't come out for a while right yeah this would be two weeks yeah over a week we were in uh we were in a meeting uh who cares it's i like this podcast better than whatever that was anyway. Plus, I created that other thing too,
Starting point is 00:18:31 so I can call seniority and say it makes more sense to be here. We were in a meeting about just like a bullshit admin meeting kind of stuff, and we had minor league fan Jack in to talk about this charity that he runs every November that raises a bunch of money for sick kids and uh we're in there for about 30 40 minutes he was supposed to come and talk for
Starting point is 00:18:50 about five minutes it it ran about 40 minutes of just you know oh yeah uh good lord and uh and then when he finally gets up to leave it's a glass office on three i guess on two walls the other two walls are solid but the glass is frosted, so you can see colors and shapes, but you can't really see what's going on. And we were just focused on the charity and all the important work that we were doing. And Minor League Fan Jack gets up, and the door opens.
Starting point is 00:19:16 He opens up the door to walk out and walks right into a giant fridge. You guys had moved an entire refrigerator perfectly in front of the door and so that he just walked right into it it was very the fridge is on wheels yeah we're back in the mode of just like videos this is what we miss being at home really videos just can spontaneously happen we're making a video about something else and then i decided to try and move the fridge and then i thought it'd be a good idea to block the door with it and uh it was
Starting point is 00:19:41 very enjoyable it was and then we replaced the real fridge with matt we just gave him all the stuff from the fridge and he had to give it out to people if they wanted to drink but in that meeting gavin when we ran into each other you mentioned that you had a bunch of stuff to talk about today really oh no i still got some stuff left over i still got some new stuff i i had one of those moments again where you sort of think you're in a simulation because there's about today. Really? Oh, nice. I've got some stuff left over. I've got some new stuff. I, I had one of those moments again, where you sort of think you're in a simulation because there's just too much coincidence happening at once. Did we get those?
Starting point is 00:20:12 Yeah. Meg was streaming the other night. She was playing some Nancy Drew game. And because we've been watching so much survivor, we haven't really had a chance to watch movies recently. So I thought, oh, we'll watch a movie, but she, she she had to finish that game she wanted to like get through the whole thing and by the time she finished it was quite late so i thought well let's watch like a you know like a 90 minute comedy or something we settled on airplane which i hadn't seen in a long time
Starting point is 00:20:36 great movie and uh i was talking to her before i was like oh so you actually had to like finish that game you couldn't just like do it in segments you're like no it's better if you finish it because it's like a murder mystery and she was like you know what nancy drew is i was like no i don't i don't really know about nancy drew she's like well it's like the hardy boys i was like yeah i don't know i just i'll be honest the only reason i've heard of that is because coolio rapped about it in the keenan and kell theme song and she was like you're having a laugh you must you must know I was like no seriously That's the only reason I know those names Then we're watching Airplane
Starting point is 00:21:08 And there's that scene In the cockpit Where like everyone Has a confusing name For a cockpit So you got like Captain over You got someone
Starting point is 00:21:15 Called Roger Yeah Someone else called Victor And they're like What's your vector Victor He's like Over What
Starting point is 00:21:20 Roger And Roger's like Huh And it's just all that Confusing stuff And Meg's like Oh they're doing just all that confusing stuff and meg's like oh they're doing like a funny uh abba and costello bit and i was like oh i've never seen any of that oh you know i was like i'll be like i was like i'll be honest with you
Starting point is 00:21:37 i've only heard i've only heard about a costello because Coolio rapped about it in the Keenan and Kel where he goes through double acts so then she was like alright you're having a laugh now so then I got up the lyrics to Keenan and Kel and I was like alright here's the bit
Starting point is 00:22:00 and Coolio goes this ain't the Hardy Boys or a Nancy Drew mystery it's just keenan and kell in your vicinity like siegfried and roy or abba and costello magic and kareem or pen and teller and then i realized i paused the movie and i looked at the i looked at the tv it's it's freaking kareem abdul-jabbar yeah in that in that scene he plays please Roger Murdoch the guy in the cockpit everything in my life right now in the key to the cow song I was I'll be honest I was half expecting and Gillette to fall through my ceiling I was like what is going on we were both like a jaw
Starting point is 00:22:40 open like what is happening right now I'm in a simulation is there a line in the key to kill rap about how the shift key works because I have not heard I've not heard the rap and that could have helped me there is were you wearing socks at this point anyway airplane still a funny movie airplane holds up really well I actually
Starting point is 00:23:04 took Millie my daughter to see it in the theater uh i guess 2019 summer 2019 and it was well first off uh a 15 year old kid has no frame of reference for 98 of those jokes but still very funny and the thing that you forget about that movie uh and their style of humor is that there's a joke every five seconds yeah Mm-hmm. Yeah. It's like those Zucker Brothers movies. They've done all the, I guess, Naked Gun and, like, I think they're involved in basketball and stuff.
Starting point is 00:23:37 There's just, like, a visual gag or a joke every six seconds. They've got, like, a JPM minimum of, like, 30 jokes a minute or something. It's ridiculous. Also, I realized from, I found out afterwards, that all those people in that movie like lloyd bridges and uh phelps whatever his name is and leslie nielsen they'd never had comedic roles before that movie they were all like like really serious actors and it like reinvigorated all of their careers as as comedy dudes yeah and nielsen ended up having his second act was way bigger than his first because of all that.
Starting point is 00:24:08 I view him as a comedy actor, and I viewed Creepshow as like, oh, that's a weird exception to the rule where he plays kind of a sinister, murdering character in that, not realizing that that's what his career was for a time. Dude, Creepshow's a great movie. It is.
Starting point is 00:24:22 It's your shit. I used to say that to myself all the time. Meteor shit. I didn't realize that Airplane was a parody of Airport until I watched Airport. I had no idea that those... I just thought Airplane was a funny movie that was not spoofing anything else.
Starting point is 00:24:37 I just thought it was a bizarre comedy. It was strange to watch Airport and be like, oh, this is Airplane. So what was Zero Hour? Is that because they made multiple airports is there an airport called zero hour i don't know it was like a trilogy airport is like a weirdly big movie i never seen it zero hours the other movie right i thought that was what airplane that's the one that had like all the combat stuff is based on right but the the main
Starting point is 00:25:01 guy in zero hour is ted striker who's also the main guy in Airplane. Right. Like that part, the Stryker stuff is based off Zero Hour. But I think a lot of the other stuff is based off Airport. It's like a combination. What percentage of the face? What year? What year did that? Hold on a second. What year did Airplane come out? It's like 1980.
Starting point is 00:25:22 We're talking about a movie. It's before my time. We're talking about a movie that was came out years and years and years before y'all were born. I was five, and I'm a thousand. We probably should move on to something this century. You don't think many of the people listening have listened to 1970s airport? You don't think they've seen Dean Martin as a pilot before? I think maybe not. But I think they should.
Starting point is 00:25:44 They should. Well, they should watch Airplane. Airport, not really needed to watch. It's okay. It's very fine.

Starting point is 00:26:46 We still have superhero, but then under it and while Gavin was talking, it was talking about airport. I was reading and I just it just hit me. I had no idea what this note meant, but I wrote down just the word crabbing and it took me most of this podcast to remember why I wrote that down. Yeah. Can I guess? Please.
Starting point is 00:27:06 podcast to remember why i wrote that down yeah can i guess you could please uh you were you were trying to think of other words for theft like scrumping and you discovered that crabs when you steal a crab is crabby no we were andrew and i were having i wouldn't say a disagreement we were having a conversation about uh i i guess like a a strategy like a surrounding podcast like a behind the scenes work kind of strategy and we were kind of talking through it and he made an analogy about uh how when you go crabbing you leave your crab traps you don't put all your crab traps in the same spot you set them out uh in a around so you have a wider you can't it's essentially casting a wider net, a wider crab net as it were. And I got it
Starting point is 00:27:47 in my head that I thought it would be really funny if we all went crabbing together because I've never been crabbing. I don't even like crabs. I guarantee you've never been crabbing. Andrew and I both decided there's no way Gavin's ever been crabbing and he's never been crabbing. I don't even know what it entails or what I would
Starting point is 00:28:04 do with crabs if I caught him. But the idea of going crabbing with my two best friends, an activity that none of us have done before, I'm assuming, sounds really fun to me. So I think we should all go crabbing in Vancouver Island someday. I think an important note, too, for our text is I made the crab netting analogy. And then Jeff asked, have I gone crabbing before? i replied no and i have no idea how it works that was a wild analogy for me to make i actually don't know anything that i'm saying regarding this topic i agree we should do this at some point we should just be a list of things we haven't done that we're not enthusiastic about doing and then we have to do them or we have
Starting point is 00:28:42 to assign those tasks to one of us we need to order because there's a lot we have to do them or we have to assign those tasks to one of us. We need to order, because there's a lot we have to get done the moment we set foot on Vancouver Island. We've got to get straight to work. There's not enough time to do everything. You can watch the bathtub races while crabbing from the dock. It's one.
Starting point is 00:28:56 It's got to be there, though, because we don't have crabs in Austin. It's not crab country, you know? I will say, we've already got the perfect receptacle for crabs. Yeah? What is it? You made it. You made it, we've already got the perfect receptacle for crabs. Yeah? What is it? You made it.
Starting point is 00:29:06 You made it, Andrew. Oh, the basket! There you go! Bring the basket back up! No, that's true, yeah! Could you imagine the expression on everybody's faces if they saw us lower that into the water? Why are you dunking that tumbleweed into the water?
Starting point is 00:29:25 If you think about it, though, if there was a Venn diagram of like, Andrew, you're 26 now, 27, 26? 27. 27 now. And Gavin, you're 32? 33. 33.
Starting point is 00:29:36 33 now. I'm trying to give you guys each a year. I'm sorry. You're getting up there and it's gross, so I'm trying to help you out. I'm 46. The combined amount of time is, I don't know the math on that,
Starting point is 00:29:47 but probably close to 100 or around 100 years of combined activities. So the Venn diagram of things that haven't been done by all three of us has got to be pretty small. I don't think that's true at all. I think it's very wide. I think you'd be surprised at how many things you've done that you don't realize that when you throw out an activity,
Starting point is 00:30:08 you're like, oh, no, I did do that once. Have you ever skinned a rabbit? No, but I've seen it done in person. It's gross. I've seen it in video games. Does that count for anything? I watched Roger and Me. Arthur Morgan.
Starting point is 00:30:27 Yeah, exactly. No, I don't think, I mean, it's also wild. You need to factor in when you're evaluating this experience chart that you've made, Jeff. I haven't just tried scrambled eggs or a glass of milk. Like, my contribution to the range of experience is narrow. It's more like two and a quarter person. I understand that. I understand that. I understand that.
Starting point is 00:30:47 But you knew who James Randi was and I had no fucking clue. So there are, you have, you are a keeper of knowledge and experience whether you realize that or not. I'm surprised by that.
Starting point is 00:30:56 Yeah. No, I thought, honestly, when you did that, I thought you knew and you were testing me to see if I did. I didn't know it was the reverse of you not knowing.
Starting point is 00:31:04 No, I assumed he was, I assumed you wouldn't know who he was, and he was like some British personality that we don't know here in America. I didn't account for the fact that he was Canadian. He did work a lot in the UK, though. I watched a bunch of English shit he was in. I would say if you took every activity on Earth and then applied our venn diagram
Starting point is 00:31:25 of all the stuff that we've all done i would say 99 of things have been done by none of us yes well then we better get to work is what i'm saying we got a lot of shit to do i say we start with crabbing and then we just find out what else naturally we don't have to go looking for it but we find out what else fits in the center of that diagram that's never been touched by the three of us. It's like a set-and-leave sort of thing, though, right? Yeah, but you put on boots, and then you clomp around in the mud and the water.
Starting point is 00:31:56 I'm assuming somebody will fall down, and that'll be funny, and you'll get dirty. I don't think you need to do that. I think from what I feel like I've observed of crabbing, you can just walk to the end of like a pier and drop a basket in and then just pull it up you think it's that fast well i yeah i don't think well i think it depends you just wait for a bite you just wait for the line to move i think you wait like 20 minutes would be my guess and then you pull the basket up and if there are crabs
Starting point is 00:32:21 you're like sweet you put them in the bucket and if they're not you just throw the thing back into the water oh yeah so i thought you just went up to a crab pool and just picked up a crab I thought why didn't why you need anything else? No, what you got my shallows where the rocks like with the you're gonna fucking go crabbing with your hands They got they got blades on their arms That's a risky game if you're going into a pool they're coming from all angles what are you... It's the most... From the back. That's a risky game. If you're going into a pool, they're coming from all angles. What are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:32:47 There could be a tech in your leg. Yeah, it's gonna be like Jurassic... Whatever the second one was. That's where your Achilles tendon is, dude. They're gonna take you down. Yeah. You're at your most vulnerable right there. Gavin's gonna be like,
Starting point is 00:32:58 this is no problem. He's gonna be like Peter Stormare in fucking Jurassic 2 and there's gonna be a million crabs on him and he's gonna be fucking devoured. All of a sudden, i've talked over a log and then just a load of blood floats back to the water look i i think if we all go crabbing i bet i can pick up a crab with my bare hands faster than you can faff about with your boots and your little there's if all kinds of crabbing activities that we can do crap we'll have all kinds of like crabbing
Starting point is 00:33:27 crabbing competitions i remember andrew i thought you said you were gonna mosey on down to the pier one day and sit and watch for a while and take notes or did i make that up no maybe i don't know i don't remember if i said that via text but if crabbing was what gavin described if i knew nothing about it and i believe gavin i would show up with like pillows duct tape to my body and tongs both hands like i'd be i would not be prepared to just walk in and grab that's just gloves i think i think it's just what they're not gonna like jump no i need range i need tongs i need tongs and both hands i don't trust i don't trust this all right how big are the crabs in your imagination right now because mine are just like the size of a fist or something.
Starting point is 00:34:06 Yeah, they're around that size too. I still just don't want to deal with that. I don't want to, I don't, listen, I cut my foot the other day. I'm scared. I'm scared of sharp objects. Was that when you went outside to get your birthday presents? No, it wasn't. It was inside.
Starting point is 00:34:20 How did you do it? I was going to bed. It was really late. It was dark. And I stepped on, there was just a piece of glass on my floor, I guess, that I didn't know was glass. inside i how did you how did you do it i was going to bed it was really late it was dark and i stepped on there was just a piece of glass on my floor i guess that i didn't know was glass as moving stuff and i stepped on it i was like i stepped on something that's that's annoying so i went to brush it off by rubbing it across the bottom the top of my other foot and i just sliced across the
Starting point is 00:34:41 top of my foot and i was like that didn't good. So then I just went to bed and was like, oh man, my foot's sore. I think I may have cut it or something. I don't know. And I woke up and I had blood in my sheets and like this cut across the top of my foot. So I'm very nervous of sharp things right now, Gavin. I do not want to fuck with these crabs. I don't trust it. Don't run
Starting point is 00:35:00 a crab across your skin then. No, they won't. So I'll be covered in pillows with my tongs. They're not going to even hear me. Also, we can bring those little rubber bands that you get on asparagus and celery and stuff, and then we can snap them around their little pinchers. I like that idea.
Starting point is 00:35:15 Can we get rubber band guns and try to shoot it onto them? Yes. Once again, we need more range. And what we should also do, and where I'm going with that is, once we've got them subdued to the point where they're not a danger to us or each other, then I think we determine who our favorite crab each is, and then we do a crab race.
Starting point is 00:35:34 Okay. Like, we make a little track, and then we put them at one end, and then we get to the other end, and we try to encourage our crab. Like, come on, crabby. Come on, old blue. You know, come on, pinchy. Or whatever. And then we see who's the best crab racer. In addition to crabbing in general.
Starting point is 00:35:49 There's so much crab-related stuff we can do. Are we releasing them afterwards? Are we going to have lunch? No, I don't think I could kill a crab. I think we'd have to release them. You can't kill a crab. You could smash its claws shut and make it race. Well, no, I didn't.
Starting point is 00:36:03 That wasn't my idea. I didn't put that forward. Hey, that's calisthenics, dude. We're not hurting the crab by making it work out. And we're going to take the rubber bands off at the end. Okay. I'm not going to release a neutered crab back into the wild and not be able to defend itself.
Starting point is 00:36:19 And we could release him back into the wild, free. Maybe one of them will have a tiny trophy It can take with it, but yeah I'm terrible. I don't think we should live thanks to crabs What do you mean? Do you think on this grand scheme of things, eating them is better than putting something on them? Like, at least in my scenario. I would say catching and quickly dispatching a crab for food is less humiliating and harmful
Starting point is 00:36:57 than gluing a crown to its head and binding its claws. No, that's never. Never do that do that never bind the claws i don't want to glue anything but it's just it's funny you're you're just like no i want to do the more humane thing of killing it and eating it that's what i would like to do well i mean it happens it does every day every day your chances are chances are that crab's killed a few things in its life every 10 seconds a crab is killed. I don't even know how you kill a crab.
Starting point is 00:37:32 I think you just stab it, from my understanding. They're pretty hard. That's like a lobster, right? Do you do the same thing with a crab? Fucking look it. Gavin is over here talking about crabs being invulnerable with claws, and he's like, I'm hopping in the pool. What are you saying? What are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:37:44 Do you think you can break a crab's nose? The crab pool. In your analogy, you're like, I'm hopping in the pool. What are you saying? What are you talking about? Do you think you can break a crab's nose? The crab pool! In your analogy, you're like, I'm gonna hop into the crab pool and just grab crabs with my hands and on the other side of it, I'm like, how do you kill them? And you're like, they're fucking invulnerable. And they have claws for hands. Like, what are you doing? That's reckless.
Starting point is 00:38:02 I don't understand. I don't understand your logic at all. The crazy thing about this is these are all of our pre-crabbing opinions of how it's going to go. Someday we're going to have a post-crabbing episode and we'll find out how wrong we were about all of it. We couldn't be more wrong. I feel like the real version would be very boring of us standing on a pier. I don't think that anything we do will be boring, but I can't wait for our post-Crabbin wrap-up.
Starting point is 00:38:33 Think of all the crab-related knowledge that we'll have in our brains after this, and then we can move on to the next thing, and before you know it, we will have done that 99% of all stuff in the universe. I don't know if I've ever even had crab legs. Like, I know I've had crab and like sushi, but I don't think I've ever had crab legs or a dish like that, like a crab based thing that wasn't sushi. Would you rather if we were to have a crab lunch of crab legs, not the crabs that we're going to be catching, obviously, would you rather have that lunch before we go crabbing
Starting point is 00:39:03 or after we go crabbing? What do you think would be psychologically better for you yeah i think psychologically probably before to be like i think so too we we owned you guys we got yeah not we have the advantage we're clearly in the power position top of the psych yourself up it'll make us feel like you're dead on we'll be in the power position it'll make us feel superior. I really, I would be afraid that if my crab imprints on me or I imprint on it and we develop a connection, there'd be no way I could
Starting point is 00:39:32 follow through with eating a different crab later in the same day. What if they could tell and they were more pissed? That is also true. That's also fucked up. I didn't think about that. Yeah, I don't know. That changes everything. I didn't consider that as an angle. Well, we'll need to find out. I'm so fucked up. I didn't think about that. Yeah, I don't know. That changes everything. I didn't consider that as an angle.
Starting point is 00:39:47 Well, we'll need to find out. I guess so. Maybe, yeah. I don't know. Maybe one of us eats crabs beforehand and the rest don't and we just discuss how we feel about it. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:39:55 I don't know how we measure that. I don't really like crab. Not a fan of it. Yeah, same. I think I've only eaten it once in my life. I don't remember anything about it. I feel like I've only had it on the top of a slightly fancy steak
Starting point is 00:40:07 at a restaurant once. And it didn't really make the steak any better to me. You mentioned you're going to Vegas, Jeff. I had a realization last night. I'm going to go buy video games for you this weekend. Well, you can talk about that. I was actually nervous because i texted you about that as i i texted you last night about it and you didn't reply at all and i got very as nervous
Starting point is 00:40:29 i'll be honest with you it's a it was a whole long text about like second guessing and stuff and i already bought the tickets i've already booked the hotel yeah i have a driver like it's we're too far along to pull the plug now. In the Vegas kind of aspect is you're going to also, you want to put your rookie bets down while you're there. I'm going to put all of our rookie bets down. Well, I'll bet for Gavin. I have cracked my gambling coat. I figured out
Starting point is 00:40:56 how to win. I've come up with a system and last night I finally figured it out. I bet, let me organize these photos. So I bet on the Royals game, the Kansas Royals, Kansas City Royals, and the Baltimore Orioles. And it was the,
Starting point is 00:41:12 they were going into the seventh inning, I want to say. And I bet that there would be less than 6.5 runs, I believe was the bet. Total? Total, yeah. Okay. And what was the score in the seventh inning at that point when you placed the bet. Total? Total, yeah. Okay. And what was the score
Starting point is 00:41:25 in the seventh inning at that point when you placed the bet? Zero, zero? Yeah, so this is the score right now, or this was the score going into the seventh.
Starting point is 00:41:33 Kansas had four runs. Okay. They're going into the seventh inning. I bet that there wouldn't be more than six. If they got seven, I would lose the bet.
Starting point is 00:41:43 I'm feeling confident about it. I'm like, ah, they have a lead. It'll be kind of a slow game. Everything will be fine. Then we move into the seventh inning, and the Kansas City Royals score one more run. Here's what I'm noticing about the Kansas City Royals. They score every
Starting point is 00:41:58 other, they score every odd inning, and there's nine innings. So you have a ninth inning coming up. Yeah, so every second inning. So my bet is less than seven runs. Is that what it says, 6.5? Can you get a.5? No, you can't get.5.
Starting point is 00:42:14 It's just to set the line. So if I get six, I win. If it goes to seven, I lose, is essentially the angle. Under seven would also work. Yes, under seven would be fine. So just six, which is six. That was a weird way would also work. Yes. Under seven would be fine. So just six. Which is six. I don't...
Starting point is 00:42:27 That was a weird way of phrasing that. Less than seven. But no. Well, no. Well, yeah. Okay. Well, I'm saying... It doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:42:33 It doesn't matter. Why is it six and a half if there's only six and seven? Because it can't be... It can't be six and a half. So if it crosses to seven... If it is seven, then I would win with seven.
Starting point is 00:42:44 Yeah. If it's seven, no one wins. Yeah. Okay. it's just setting a line that it could be above or below there has to be a 0.5 so they're going into the eighth inning and kansas now has five runs total i'm getting nervous so then they do nothing kansas gets nothing can you say say Kansas City, please? Kansas City. Okay, thank you. What was that? Kansas City. You just keep saying Kansas. It's driving me crazy.
Starting point is 00:43:09 It's Kansas City. Would it be better if I said Royals? That's fine, too. Would that be? It's Kansas. Kansas and Kansas City are different places. Okay. Royals.
Starting point is 00:43:18 The Royals needed one more run. I was nervous. And then I stopped watching. I looked again. The Orioles had bases loaded no outs and i was like oh fuck this is gonna as soon as i bet the under everything shifted the game shifted so then i panicked bet and i took the orioles to just win i just reversed my bet which would then then mean that for that to happen i would need to to lose my other bet. But I am such a jinx.
Starting point is 00:43:45 Whenever I bet on anything, I lose immediately. I bet on the Red Sox losing. Ten seconds later, they home run and win the game by two. It's just a ridiculous curse. I realize the success to me winning bets is I need to start fading myself. I will make one bet saying an obvious thing will happen, and then I will bet on the unlikely thing and hope that happens.
Starting point is 00:44:06 So then we're in the eighth inning and in the eighth inning, this is what happens. As soon as I counter my nine, the Royal score nine runs in the eighth inning. You mean the Orioles do? Yeah. Nine runs. So I bet that it would be under 6.5.
Starting point is 00:44:28 Then they score nine. I panic once it was at six or whatever. I bet the Orioles to win to counter myself. I'm fading myself because once I bet one way, then it will absolutely go the opposite of whatever I said. So the trick is fading myself. I bet one way, bet the other way,
Starting point is 00:44:47 Orioles score nine runs. And it was even a cartoonish thing. My bad luck is so bad. The runs came in because the Royals tripped each other in the outfield. That was going to be an easy catch in the back to end the inning. And instead he tripped the guy. He sprinted over and took him out at the knees, which allowed nine runs to happen.
Starting point is 00:45:07 So was there a grand slam involved? There were no grand slams, but it was like three runs scored in because he tripped his own guy. And then so the inning ended. They scored nine runs. They have a nine to what, five lead at that point? I'm like, this is great.
Starting point is 00:45:22 We're going into the ninth inning. Only one inning left. This is what the final score ended up being for the game so it ended up being nine to eight i was sweating when the royals were coming back they scored three runs like this is un-fucking-believable i realized that my bad luck is like a pendulum. So I need to fade myself late, but not too late because it goes back and forth. Like once it realizes that I've made a counter bet and then has to run back to fuck me over that way. So the key to my betting in the future
Starting point is 00:45:55 is fading against myself, but late in the game. So there isn't enough time for it to bite me in the ass. Or fade early enough that you can refade at the at the last i can't triple fade there's no triple fade there's no triple fade that's just losing that'd be that'd be terrible i mean if you i think you could because if you could place because you're placing two bets versus one at that point and two outweighs one so you just it's just a matter of how much that's just a bet again yeah yeah no that's true i was was texting Eric when it happened and when it was 8-9
Starting point is 00:46:26 with them still at bat. I was like, did I double fade myself? Holy shit. I have terrible luck. But yeah, that's the key. I'm just going to bet against myself going forward. I've always said if somebody faded me, they'd do great. I'm going to be that person. I'm just going to start betting against me. Do you worry that you're affecting these games?
Starting point is 00:46:41 I think the players will be pissed if they're listening to you. You think they're going to be pissed? Wait till the magic starts happening, dude. Yeah, this is pre-Voodoo. That was my night. That was ridiculous. I've never seen nine runs scored in an inning before,
Starting point is 00:46:58 especially that late when down 5-0. It was a great game. Man, the crowd must have been going apeshit. Nine in an inning. I feel like nobody was in the crowd. I feel like a lot of people had left because it seemed like a one-sided game. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:14 Well, yeah, they did nothing for 7 innings. Yeah, just to see, like, it was locked up, and then they just scored 9 in one inning, but it was more the adventure of fading against myself is going to be a fun journey going forward. Do you think some sort of pep talk happened after the seventh inning? Like, what happened there?
Starting point is 00:47:30 It showed an image of Don Zimmer on the back. Rallied everybody. Is it Clash of the Titans or Jason and the Argonauts that has the gods kind of puppeteering what's happening to the mortals below? Do you think that's what was happening to the to the mortals below do you think that's what the people in the stand what was happening to the people in the stands that game they had no idea that Andrew the the betting baseball God was affecting the outcome
Starting point is 00:47:54 of their game and they were just they were just along for the ride it has happened I showed Eric a different bet before that involved the Padres and I was like how do you feel about this he's like oh that's an easy bet. You should do that. And I did it.
Starting point is 00:48:07 And then they died. They had a terrible game. I tanked them. I feel like I can tank teams. I feel like I'm like a long distance cooler. You're making me a little nervous about this roulette idea we had for this weekend. I gotta be honest with you.
Starting point is 00:48:20 Was it a roulette idea or a Keno idea? Roulette. What is that? What an interesting... You're getting your picks in from a different country. That's great. I didn't realize you wanted to do roulette. That's more of a live game than I was... Emily had this idea, Gavin,
Starting point is 00:48:36 that while we're in Vegas this weekend, we should go to a roulette wheel and we should have Andrew run his ball machine and pop a number out and then we bet on that number. I feel like you kind of used up all your luck last week. Well, I don't know. It might be worth trying again. I'd be amazing if that hits.
Starting point is 00:48:54 I love that nobody really commented on that in that episode that came out. And I think it's because people are scared that it was fake. They don't want to celebrate it out of the fear that they'll be proved wrong. I think it's because more people would just heard the shift thing and thought it was insane. They were so distracted by the goddamn shift thing, they never heard that part of the podcast, probably. It's just weird.
Starting point is 00:49:14 It was a weird thing that happened. I hope it works for you. I'm terrible with roulette, though, as established, so you need to balance that out against the machine. Yeah, yeah, no, I'm not anticipating winning, but we'll see. So what's this Vegas trip? Oh, Andrew wants me to buy some video games for him. That's not true, necessarily.
Starting point is 00:49:33 I wouldn't... That's technically what's happening. I found this place that's selling these video games I want. It's in Vegas. And I said, I'll go to Vegas. Do you want to go? And you were like, I can't go to Vegas right now because I'm in Canada and it's a whole thing.
Starting point is 00:49:49 And I said, well, I'll go for you. I'll go buy your video games for you. That's a different thing. That is a complete, you're right. I'm joking, but I am going. I was looking for an excuse to go and this is an excuse, but I really do want to go to Vegas.
Starting point is 00:50:01 Yeah. I just needed one reason to go. You were my reason. That was just an important clarification because I'd feel terrible if I was, and that was the sole motivator of going. I don't know. I just don't like the idea of persuading you to do
Starting point is 00:50:14 that for that reason. I'm collecting some games right now. I decided I wanted to try to get some games that I really enjoyed growing up mainly on the 360 because there's not much collecting happening as far as like sealed 360 games go at this point and they have a bunch of and you told me something that blew my mind and might surprise you as well gavin uh the xbox 360 is going to be a classic console win i think 2025
Starting point is 00:50:40 right it's when something turns 20 so like four years from now yeah it'll be retro the 360 will be in the retro category which is very weird to think so your cat is retro my cat is retro yeah I have a retro cat but then Andrew he started texting me all this stuff last night
Starting point is 00:51:02 he was like listen I'm starting to read about this place it seems kind of sketchy. I don't want to send you into a bad environment. And I'm like, am I going to buy Xbox 360 games or am I buying meth? Well, no, it's just so I saw a video and somebody was like, oh, I went game hunting in Vegas. This is what I found. I was like, oh, that's funny because of what we talked about. And I watched it and they went to the place and they had a really bad experience and my anxiety with,
Starting point is 00:51:27 I want you and Emily to have a fantastic trip. That's way more important to me than those games. So I just didn't want you to be in any form of uncomfortable or unpleasant experience because of me on your trip. That was purely an anxiety play. I just want you and Emily to have a fantastic time. I was playing. I'm going to have a fantastic time.
Starting point is 00:51:47 I appreciate it. I've already booked some stuff. I was just going to go sometime Saturday in the afternoon, take a cab over there with the list, buy what you need, and throw it in my hotel room and go back about my sports book betting business, which I'll probably spend most of the weekend
Starting point is 00:52:02 in the sports book, honestly. So it'll be an hour and a half inconvenience, and if it goes wrong, it's content. And if it goes right, it's less content but still content. I'm cool with it either way. It's a great week to go to Vegas. NFL season starts.
Starting point is 00:52:17 I made an absurd under bet, which there's no way it will hit, but it's fun. I took every game going under, and I think it's $10 and it cashes out at like $160,000 if it wins. What are you going to do with all that money? That buys a lot of 360
Starting point is 00:52:34 games. It does. Nothing. There's no way it hits. I do like about the under, though. I start every game a winner. I start every game in a winning position. That's true. It it's true i gotta go rescue uh puss puss for henry who's gonna growl just a second wait what is this puss puss this owl owl have we heard of puss puss on the show before i'm not sure i've heard of puss puss yet i don't is that a new toy that in the rotation all right crisis averted wait is puss puss a new toy? That in the rotation? All right. Crisis averted. Wait, is Puss Puss a new toy, Jeff?
Starting point is 00:53:06 Puss Puss is the octopus. It's been there before. We've talked about it. Oh, okay. Yeah, I'm familiar with the octopus. That is not a new toy. No, Puss Puss isn't new. That's interesting.
Starting point is 00:53:13 I like the naming scheme of the toys. I don't name them. They're just the names that are given to me by Emily. She's the clever namer. What are the other toys named? Oh, everything twice. There's Puss Puss. There's Owl Owl.
Starting point is 00:53:27 There's, I don't know, Bone Bone Dog Dog. I made that shit up. It's like whatever you see, just say it twice, and that's what it is. But there's a different rule for Puss Puss because it's an octopus. So it's only the back half. It's not Octopus Octopus. Yeah, and we typically call it Owl Owl instead of Ow of owl owl because it sounds like it's getting hurt when he squeezes it okay so it's like a one syllable if the name goes be a you you're only using
Starting point is 00:53:52 the back syllable I'm sure there's others so they give them so Gavin's vinvin in this name skin Gavin is Gavin is Gaver and will forever be Gaver because that's what my daughter called him when she was like two or three for the rest of my life he'll be Gaver in my head I'd rather be Gaver than Vinvin
Starting point is 00:54:16 is not a good nickname oh my god you almost made me spit up that was a little school school time nickname for a while was vinny but really yeah wait you were vinny i was vinny like nothing vinny there's no way that's true nobody looks at you and says you're vinny that didn't happen well it was guess what's about to stick?
Starting point is 00:54:45 Vinny! Yeah, imagine the opposite of Vinny Jones. And then there's me. I got just called Vinny and Vincent for like a year by this one, just people in one class. And then it sort of went away. I just left. Indulge me for a second. I'd like to try something out if you guys don't mind.
Starting point is 00:55:00 Okay. Hello and welcome to another episode of the F*** Face Podcast. Thanks for coming. My name, as always, is Jeff Ramsey. And with me, as always, Andrew Panton and Vinny Vincent Free. And we are here to entertain you this week. I like the sound of that. Yeah?

Hosted by myself, Jeff, Gavin, sorry. sorry hosted by jeff andrew and vinny i think you gotta put i think you gotta put some flavor on it i think you gotta go welcome to the face podcast i'm your host jeff ramsey along with my co-host andrew panton and oh motherfucking vinny free and then i think people really get excited bring a little bit of like the flavor to it yeah people called you Vincent yeah that doesn't
Starting point is 00:55:51 even that doesn't track at all yeah Michael told me his middle name once I was like oh that was my nickname at school what a shitty nickname that's coming from somebody who had an sack I'm making fun of yours you didn't come up with your ANSAC. I'm making fun of yours. That's a low order thing.
Starting point is 00:56:06 You didn't come up with your own nickname, did you? No, I'm just saying it's a bad draw. I'm not blaming you for it. It's more of an observation. You got a bad draw on Vincent and Vinny. Oh, I don't think it's a bad... Vincent Price, that's a cool dude. It's a very cool dude.
Starting point is 00:56:18 Doesn't fit you at all. I don't see you as a Vincent or a Vinny. I like this nickname thing. What other nicknames did y'all have growing up? Navigator. Navigator. Same guy that called me Vinny called me the Navigator. I love that this guy was like, I'm going to get one that sticks.
Starting point is 00:56:35 I'm just workshopping. Vinny didn't work. But they actually stuck for quite a long time. He used to call me Gav-Nav, and then it just became Nav-Nav. Gav-Nav. Gav-Nav is really good. long time he used to call me gav nav and then it just became nav so vinnie vincent gav nav and oh my god it's like being in german class again did eric or nick have any nicknames growing up no nothing like my name doesn't really lend itself to anything like that but i also did I to be fair
Starting point is 00:57:05 I didn't think Gavin's did either but here we are Nick said it's Toys Nicknames so did you don't have anything good either of you? Oh, that's great. What a great nickname. Nicknames. So did you not have anything good? Either of you. No. Me?
Starting point is 00:57:31 Andrew had Anzac. Yeah, I didn't have the fucking naming genius in my school with me. I didn't have the fucking Akinator or whatever just summoning names, throwing things out there, seeing what will stick. When I was younger, they called me Jeffro. Jeffro. That's pretty good.
Starting point is 00:57:50 Like Jethro, but Jeffro. Yeah. And when I moved to Austin at the tech company where we started the day job, they called me G-Funk, which I hated.
Starting point is 00:58:04 It's your username on the website. I know. I hate it. I don't know why I ever didn't hate it, but I definitely hate now. Then you got Raymond. So, man.
