I'm still working. 10 seconds. I think I will like it, but I'm still adjusting. I don't know what that means. I'm the same old Jeff. He's here. It's on time. Oh, man. You really cut. You were cutting it close.

I walk away, everything is just left as it was

Discord is minimized, right? And then when I click it on the taskbar, it won't get big again. What's all that about? Maybe it's thinking about Cecil Fielder or King Kong Bundy. That's what did it for me in high school.

You and freaking King Kong Bundy. You try to maintain an erection thinking about him. How's it going, everyone? I'm good. Nick said whiskey discord. Oh, man. Whiskey discord is great.

What do you think of new Jeff Gavin? Because I'm thrown by it. Yeah, what do you think of new Jeff Gavin? What's new about by it. Yeah. What do you think of new Jeff Gavin? What's new about him? He sounds completely different. What are you talking about? All right. Say something,

Jeff. Hey, what's up? It's your old pal. Jeff sounding completely different. According to Andrew and Eric, he sounds like he's an AM radio host. Nah,

he sounds fine. Thanks. It's not that he sounds bad. I think it is. Once again, this is like the widescreen of your voice where I'm just not used to it. Full spectrum voice?

It's a full spectrum Jeff. Oh, man. You're hearing all the notes that other people can't. Yeah, well, I replaced my Scarlet that I recorded the first 215 episodes of this thing with with a Rode Podcaster that immediately broke. And I bought a second one, but I got the first one fixed.

And now I have two road podcasters, one from my PC and one from my back. Wow. I just, I think it's, you sound too good. I think is the problem like this. It feels like you're an actual host.

Would it help if I, would it help if I like, I throw you as I like, I could, Hey, wait, guys. I just want to Like, I could... Hey, wait. Guys, day. There's old Jeff back. There we go. That's, yeah. Yeah, I feel

like I'm part of not a real production now. Thank you. I'm back to feeling good. Andrew. Gavin. During our... We had a little week off. We had a little break. And you said last time that you were gonna... Oh, not had a little week off, we had a little break, and you said last time that you were gonna- Oh, not really a break.

Okay. We worked a lot. Yeah, we did a lot of recording, I just wanna be clear, it's not like we took a break for a week, we- I took a break, y'all worked your asses off. Yeah, we kept working, but there was a break for this podcast, during which, in between, you said you were gonna work on your desk. How'd you get on?

Wow, you really immediately throwing at me, expecting me to have not done a thing, didn't you? You little sneaky Brit over there trying to have a lot of time to try to make fun of me. I'm using a new setup too, Gavin. I'm using a new setup as well because I remembered my homework. I did my job.

I'm going to be honest. It's a little precarious there might need to be some adjustments done i uh went with a jeff approach yeah with the setup i would say let me just open up this app on my phone so i could i took a little photo before yeah it is it's a it's a half bundy i would say um let me uh go to open this so i got i bought some clamps uh in the style that jeff was suggesting and uh i clamped down a piece of wood onto my desk and then I put my mic clamp so I didn't have to nail the desk I didn't need a hammer I bought some clamp but I bought like arts and crafts wood off of Amazon that's the so that's like 10 little pieces of wood and one thing of

so it's not stable it's really bent upwards it's a curve you've crushed a bunch of like thin chipboard together and you've put your mic on top of the barcode part well i mean i didn't yeah no free ads um didn't want to scan and buy it themselves but that's that's my setup i now can get rid of my table mic stand uh maybe look into buying a thicker more singular piece of wood but outside of that worked pretty good i would say i'd say it's a pretty good solution to the problem i am impressed and i'm glad it worked i didn't have to nail anything i didn't have to put a hole in my desk i still don't have a drill i don't need a drill i don't think um i just i can't believe you don't want to drill for the rest of your life i just don't that's a bad combination me and you know what they say

gavin more drills more problems that's what they say I think there is a permanence to a hole that I do not need in my life you don't want any holes permanent no because I would make a lot of unnecessary holes I think or I would do poor holes and then I would have to fix the hole

so I just am better not being in a position to generate holes okay I don't know if I ever told you guys this but when I moved into my old house the one that I no longer own I hung a tv in my bedroom not even thinking just put up a flat screen tv I resisted having a tv in the bedroom remember I had the the ceiling tv for a long time but eventually I decided I'd be a real big boy and I put a wall mount on my tv and hung it and And as I hung it, and I drilled everything in, I realized I,

on the other side is my shower, and I missed my shower pipe by less than an inch. Oh my god! Less than an inch. And that's why drills, like, if you can go your whole life without a drill, Andrew, I recommend it.

I, uh, I was hanging a towel rail in my bathroom and um when i was done i couldn't close the bathroom door and it was one of those sliding pocket doors and i'd attach the towel rail to the closed door inside the wall oh man so now that's great. So even though I... Even though I replaced the screws with shorter ones, there are still two holes in my polka dot.

Did you have like a solid ten seconds of feeling like a big man fixing the house, doing your own install? And then, oh, there must have been so much pride in that moment between finishing and then going to close the door yeah that was probably like a 20 minute period where i felt all big and strong badly until i couldn't pull the door out of the wall when you couldn't when the door didn't pull how long did it actually take for you to connect the dots and how long did it feel like in your head oh i connected the dots instantly when i tugged on the door from the little handle piece and uh

it just bounced out of my hands i just went oh do you think that was maybe one of the worst moments of your life in in terms of it just uh feeling good about yourself? Bottom 20 for sure. Because I can't imagine the realization setting in on what I had done in that moment. I think for me, my solution to that problem wouldn't be reapplying it. It would be figuring out a way to make it slide so your towel rack would just go in and out with the door. Cutting a channel so that every time I closed it,

that would actually work better because those fricking- Doing like a slide. Those fiddly fricking little sliding pocket doors are a pain in the ass. If the entire door was run by me sliding my towel rail, it would be much easier to use. I mean, I just,

imagining the face of someone who doesn't expect it walking into that bathroom, closing the door behind them and seeing the towel rack just slide over. Like the towels are just coming at you as you shut the door. Yeah.

Oh, man. Hey, Andrew, earlier you said something about it feeling like not a real production. Speaking of not a real production, can I tell you guys about a TV show I watched the other night? Of course. Hulu has been begging me to watch the show.

What is it? The Quiz with Balls. Every time I load up Hulu, there's the Quiz with Balls. They're ramming it down my face. It's a major network show. It's like ABC, NBC, CBS, I don't know. And it's basically what you think it is is exactly what it is.

It's like two families compete in trivia and then one family goes up and they stand in a slot over a swimming pool and then behind them on a ramp is a giant ball and they answer a question and the one who gets it the most wrong gets shot into the water except this image isn't even doing it justice the episode i watched they had a family all in denim jeans with big chunky tennis shoes and then all they do is

get an answer wrong and they they just drop them in water and then they have to swim all the way across this pool and then a guy in a security guard just gives them a towel and then they have to go sit on a vinyl sofa which must if you're there really stink after a while and and just be like a thousand wet farting sounds because they're just sliding all over vinyl it was one of the dumbest things I've ever seen in my entire life. And I can't fucking believe it got made. Like, I can't, can you, like, they pitched it. And somebody said, yeah, that's a good pitch.

Yeah, and then they built a giant fricking swimming pool set that probably cost millions of dollars. Cost millions of dollars. So somebody could say, name five cities in Ohio. And then one person gets one wrong and then they just throw them in the water and make them swim in full clothes. Heavy ass denim. America has this real fascination

with feeling like they need to make trivia more exciting. What was the Ellen DeGeneres show where like if you got it wrong you got ripped into the sky? They dropped you like 20 feet sometimes. That was insane. It was the game of games or something.

I have no idea what that's called, but there is a history of something stupid happening to you if you get it wrong. Yeah, I feel like I could make a much cheaper show though. I could make the quiz with fists and everyone's just stood facing a hole in a wall and a freaking boxing glove just rocks them if they get it wrong or even just the quiz with push and there's just five people standing behind you one of them pushes you it's

like it's just such a bad lame premise they're like what's funny about wipeout people getting hit okay what's funny about quiz shows nothing nah hit. Okay. What's funny about quiz shows? Nothing. Nah, well, this is slam it together. Everybody can swim, right? I just, it was so fucking just so bad.

And I just can't believe, Oh, it's on Fox. I'm sorry. It must cost feels like, like, you know how much, how many millions of dollars they invest in an episode of the quiz with balls.

So that Jay Pharaoh can do like a fucking Wesley Snipes impression three times or whatever because he's the host. Like Jesus Christ. I had the trailer rammed down my throat on autoplay so many times. I just put an episode on and I fast forwarded until I could see someone get hit with a ball. It was like 13 minutes in

before someone got balled. It's a bad ball ratio. There's only like eight questions in the whole show. I think what they need to do, let me try to punch up this show a little bit. You stand at the top, and if you get it wrong, the boulder falls,

and you have to outrun the boulder. And each lane gets progressively more steep. And if you get hit by the boulder, you're dead, and you're never seen again on the show you're just if you yeah that's a good idea if you get indiana jones and i like that but as it stands right now no it is the lamest fucking premise for television and you're just looking at it and you're thinking like there's a studio executive somewhere who makes over a

million dollars a year and his job is just to say yes to that or her their job is just to say yes to that and go all right that's a hit maybe if you were covered head to toe in gasoline and the ball was on fire oh you would just as you were falling become on fire before being extinguished that's a show i would watch yeah what if somebody else has to run for you like someone in your family like if you get it wrong it then triggers for your family to have to outrun the ball of fire even more snakes it's not even just you i like that idea that the whole like military idea of we don't punish you we punish the people around you exactly yeah and then once one of your family members gets knocked in you get

railed with soap in a sock yeah and then at about 2 a.m you get a blanket party and it's not fun what was uh it was a remote control was that the mtv colin quinn old trivia yeah that had a great exit if you got it wrong from trivia thing that might be what was i remember they all sat in like lazy boys and if they got it wrong the wall ate them like the chairs went up and the wall absorbed them yeah they did that on uh that reality show villain oh awesome

the one hosted by uh not Daniel Tosh but the other Daniel Tosh uh what's his name? Joel McHale? No the other Daniel Tosh uh the Anthony Jeselnik. Okay.

I never watched the villains one. I was really excited about that premise. It wasn't very good. I only watched like two episodes and it was pretty bad. Oh, that's too bad. There's some great clips from it, but maybe that's a clip show.

I think they're doing a second season too, so it might be worth going back and finishing. I don't know. Hey, Gav, you know how, like, you used to, when you would come to America, you would talk about how the shits in America were so much worse than the shits in England, and it was, like, instant.

Like, as soon as you got into America, you just started, your shits just became, like, ten times worse. It's so funny you mention that, because I've had a morning. Oh. You got the England shits? You got the coming home shits?

Stress shits right now, yeah. I just had some bad Italian food last night. Uh-oh. Ooh, where'd you eat? Yeah, where? I don't know. I didn't go out. It was order in and I didn't order out.

Oh, okay. Well, I'm sorry to hear about your morning. I hope it improves for you. I would take some Pepto-Bismol if I were you. I realized this last week in Michigan that Michigan is my America. It makes you shit? Oh my God, dude.

The diarrhea, the torment I put Emily's parents' toilet through. I felt bad, man. I put Emily's parents toilet through it. I felt bad, man. I was doing like full scrubs every time I, I was like doing a full like bathroom clean down. Cause these are my in-laws, but I was having like,

like you, like I was having like, you stole a bunch of marked bills in a bag from the, from the bank. And you finally get to your safe house and you open it up and you get hit with the pink spray. The dye pack. Yeah. That was me four times a day for the eight days I was there.

And I realized there is nothing. There's nothing that makes an airplane flight longer. Maybe shitting your pants seven times like the time you did it but then just trying not to shit your pants but also being like i can't go on the plane because there's not enough toilet paper and distance from other people to make this like a like survivable so just like trying to hold in a diarrhea for two and a half hours on a plane is brutal and i was so out of sorts that when I got up, I had Emily's bag behind me and my bag in front of me. And she was moving on.

And everybody's cramming to get out of there. And Emily was like, oh, can you grab my purse? And I spun around to grab her purse. And somehow I flipped myself around, got both of my arms caught behind myself and i fell into a row of chairs face first landed on my you know like on the middle row the crossbar like the arm support landed chest onto that with my head over it and because my hand was like trapped under me and behind me i couldn't push myself off and my legs were wedged in between the suitcases and i just kind of had to lay there for like three seconds to try to figure out how to get out of there.

While the people around me did that thing where they started laughing and then they stopped laughing because it suddenly wasn't funny because they didn't know if I was hurt or, you know, or if they needed to help me or not. And I was clearly holding people back. And the whole time just laying there trying to figure out how to get out of there and hold my diarrhea in. So you were like a turtle on its back like try not to shit i was like a turtle on its back trying not to shit but i was a jeff on my face trying not to shit and emily took off like she didn't see it so she was like i heard a commotion and by the time i caught up with her with like her like 80 bags and like you know holding my butthole together it was uh yeah it was rough but that row was empty right yeah thank god because i was going into it like regardless it uh it's hard to push yourself off when you're trapped under your arms and your chest is like hanging over a ledge yeah and and you know one is still

not shitting is not shitting my non-shitting flight from LA to Austin took what felt like nine hours, even though it was probably a three-hour flight. Just locked in and not shitting? That's all you're thinking about? Physically sat on my hands, holding my anus closed. Oh, man. And then losing grip on it when I fell asleep.

I didn't use headphones cause it was too much. Like it was just too much. Too much of a distraction away from your eyes. I just read, read it on my phone. Cause like the noise was too much for focusing. I just had to like, man,

it was, that was like that intense. Oh, anyway. So that was my week. Uh, it sounds like y'all, uh,

y'all had a lot of fun playing video games. We played a lot of video games. I've been watching soccer. I've become a little bit of a soccer fan. I feel like everyone's getting into it. So Canada play last night? Oh, yeah. It was... They scored a goal in this tournament. So they were in

Copa America, and they scored a goal for the first time. That was very exciting. They made it to the semifinals, which is very exciting. Played against Argentina. It looked really good for about five minutes, and then it never looked good again. That was it. But as somebody who didn't like draws in soccer,

following a team that has low expectations, the possibility of a tie is so exciting because it's just like we just got to prevent a goal. It's starting in a position where we could technically kind of win and it's great. And if you force a tie all the way to penalties that's well exciting. Anyone could win that. Exactly. Yeah, it feels like

penalties is like a complete coin flip. So even when there's not penalties, just the ability of like, okay, we just have to do nothing as long as nobody does anything we can still have a favorable result and i'm a fan it's been a lot of fun to watch i did however didn't know that copa america and the euro are two different things uh i learned that different names didn't

give that i thought maybe it was like a sub name like it was the euro copa america because it was in in like a fort like it was in somewhere else if that makes any sense because i've been waiting for the possibility of england and canada to go up against each other that's why i was passively watching before this point i was like huh england keeps winning can keeps winning this is gonna be great they're eventually gonna get matched up this is the way it's going what you're thinking of is the the world cup yeah that's what i thought both of those were i thought i was watching the world cup and we're all playing for the world cup that's in two years okay but i mean if canada qualify and england qualify it could happen. But I've been following it.

And then Canada won to go to the semifinal. And they're matched up against Argentina. And I was like, what the fuck? Where is England? And so I googled bracket for the Copa America tournament and didn't see England there, but knew they were still active. And then I realized, oh, no. Oh, this was never going to happen. I was never going to get my matchup against Gavin.

oh this this was never gonna happen i was never gonna get my matchup against gavin it was amazing that canada was who you said had just scored a goal in the tournament for the first time playing against the winners of the world cup last year or the year before what if we had a a copa euro friendly where you guys play against each other in fifa that's what i've been saying i've been trying to get that together.

Because this is the first time I'm hearing it and it sounds like Gavin hasn't heard it either. No, I've been trying to get Gavin to do it for a week. I texted Gavin and Nick. Nick can back me up on this. I said, when are we doing it?

And you said, we're not doing it yet. Yeah, well, no. I chased up on it, didn't I? No. Here, let's go to the, let's circle back on this. Wait, you just called him on that and he said, yeah, no, well, that's awesome. No, no, no, no, no. No, shut the fuck up, Eric.

Give him nothing to do with this. Let me, let me go. You fucking idiot, Eric. Let me go full dick or whatever Nick said like three words this I just repeated what you I just repeated what you said in yeah, but you try to make a point Oh, this is a whole we're gonna get into a whole lot of jar here. Oh good I texted I was in a group text with you Nick and Gavin trying to get this done Gavin never replied true or false He never replied he didn't acknowledge didn He did not reply. He never replied. He didn't acknowledge, didn't reply.

On text? It was on the schedule. Yeah! Yes! On text. I can't text you! I have no signal. I don't know what to do about it. I have to hold my- I have to go upstairs and hold my phone above my head, because it doesn't use the internet. It uses freaking cellular. I can't- Slack me, you idiot! We work together!

We've been texting for years. For four years. I walk away from my, I come back to my phone and something I sent an hour ago hasn't, I don't have as many freaking red exclamation marks

as I do with anyone else as I do with you. Okay, that's fair. I'll Slack you from now going forward. I just want, I want to get a group text going. Nick replied, you didn't reply.

Understandable that you weren't able to see it. I just want, I want to get a group text going. Nick replied. You didn't reply. Understandable that you, you weren't able to see it. I'm just saying I tried. That's what I wanted to clear up. What makes you switch out of Slack into texting? What, what it's like, even though you're still talking about work.

Yeah. I'd swap to text. Cause I didn't feel like making a group chat in Slack. And I also, it was a weekend. So I wanted to reach you. I don't know how any of those qualifies. Can you settle something for me, Andrew?

Do you have Slack on your phone? Yeah, yeah, I do. Of course. Wait, why would I? What do you mean? It's on the Umi Digi? It's on the Bison, yeah. We need to talk about what happened in the general chat. What the fuck?

In the general chat? Oh, the messages? Let me put a screenshot in. Screenshot going in. Yeah. Yeah, you got it. Yeah, there were a bunch of messages. My mom was over, decided to do some cleaning that i wasn't aware of and uh i didn't i wasn't paying attention to my phone and then

like an hour later i looked and eric thought i got hacked because uh my mom decided to clean my desk area which included wiping down my keyboard. I love that she, I love that you can see where she started. She did the number row, and then she did QWERTY, and she was doing it row by row. And then she starts again.

She gave it all a second pass. That's a really good point. I was very confused. I was very worried when I saw, were you hacked? Because that was all the, the only context I had for what had happened. And then I figured very confused. I was very worried when I saw were you hacked because that was all the the only context I had for what? had happened and then I Figured out my point is is that we were all slacking in there talking like asking you if you're right

What's going on at one point? I thought you were falling down the longest flight of stairs in the world and then You text us saying where we would we let you know wait what was happening and you text us saying where am I typing that? So you were on your phone. I guess ignoring all the slack but replying to all the text. I didn't have the alerts I didn't have slack alerts for that. I don't know I Don't know what to tell you. I didn't see it. I Would have had the alerts. I would have known where I was typing. I didn't just ignore the alerts I'm saying I didn't have a there was no notification

for any of your messages. The only thing I had was Eric saying, were you hacked? And maybe it was there, Gavin, but if you have a text that says, Andrew, were you hacked? Everything else becomes less of a priority. You're immediately

going there for more info. I'm not being like, oh eric thinks i'm hacked whatever let me see what else is going on let's browse a little bit i immediately responded to the source of my hacking he's got isn't it weird that you don't have alerts on for our slack though no i do have alerts i think as i was talking through that i think that realistically is more what happened where i saw were you hacked and immediately just followed that thread in a panic as opposed to just looking because i didn't know so you do or you don't have alerts of course i have alerts the only time i don't get alerts is when it's... You can't say, of course, at any time.

Didn't he just say that he didn't have alerts? I feel crazy. Not I didn't have alerts in a permanent sense. I thought I didn't have alerts on my phone. Like the Umidigi maybe didn't push those alerts to it. But it probably did. I just wasn't aware of that because I saw, were you hacked and immediately went into panic mode to try to figure out what you were talking about.

Well, either way, it's good to know that you have Slack open on an unlocked computer without a screensaver. Well, it's just, it's on my, it's, yeah, it's my computer. Are you afraid people are going to find out of all of our secrets? Inofficial farts

and cool images. Some of those farts are just for us. Let me circle. I got some beef with Gavin in this Slack situation. We got some Slack issues. You riled me. I'm riled up now about this. I was riled up yesterday.

I took strays. I don't think I've ever been more right about anything. We have a Monday meeting. We get together once a week on monday and it is at what time is it 8 30 a.m 10 30 for us 10 10 30 for you okay first week and i'm just i'm vocalizing this just i'm not saying this is anyone's fault but mine first week couldn't sleep mind was racing i decided that i would be better off like because i tried i put in i just laid in bed i closed my eyes for hours nothing was happening i decided hey i'm just gonna stay up the rest of the night knock out this meeting and then i'll be

so tired i'll have to sleep i got a few hours and i could go about my day so wait what time is it when you decide this probably 5 a.m 5 30 5.30 a.m., I'd say. And I'd been trying to sleep from like 1 to 4 at that point. And I'd given up by 5. Give up by 5, 7 a.m., hour before the meeting. Eric posts, I think it was Eric. I don't remember. I shouldn't call it Eric because I don't remember the specific.

Somebody said, let's reschedule. No, it was you't remember the specifics somebody said let's reschedule no it was you Gavin you said let's reschedule the meeting I have a thing on at that time and it was a thing that existed prior to that and I went oh I'm fucked I stayed up all night I didn't blame you for that it was more just like oh it's an annoyance

uh that also is information you knew we could have if that was just vocalized the day prior we could have, if that was just vocalized the day prior, we could have just completely avoided this week to don't remember what happens with this meeting, but something happens and we don't have it at the time it has to be moved week three. There's another rescheduling that is an hour before the meeting starts. But the problem is I don't have an alarm set until eight because my partner works nights and I have my setup in our bedroom. So I have to we both have to be up or I will wake them up just naturally. And so I said, let's can we move the meeting an hour?

Let's can we move the meeting an hour because we're giving you're giving updates on the meeting is moved, but it's pointless to me because I don't wake up until an hour later. So now I'm just waking up to see that a meeting that would never had a chance of happening is not happening. How am I in the wrong on this? I've been shit on for this for like four days. Well, it's the daytime. It's 8 a.m. here and my partner works nights. Yeah. So that means that they go to bed late and then they sleep, ideally, through the first half of the day. Technically, they probably go to bed early, I would think.

Yeah, sure, sure. But you gotta wake up. So you're saying it should be later, or we shouldn't move it? I'm saying that I wanted it moved an hour because you don't give updates on your schedule until an hour before it happens, at which point it's irrelevant to me because I'm sleeping, and I'm gonna wake up in an hour before it happens, at which point it's irrelevant to me because I'm sleeping

and I'm going to wake up in an hour to see that I didn't need to wake up at all. That was my point. But you do have to wake up anyway that day. I do, but not at that time. I'm waking up earlier than I normally would to make this meeting. And by the time I see the alert,

it's pointless because I can't in my sleep register that you've just that you you can't do it and that we have to move it so an hour i could do so now you've permanently moved it to 11 30 our time yes exactly and i'm happy and and that way if we change it like an hour before you'll already be up i will be up i will have seen it will not have impacted the schedule in a way that it currently does what if you oversleep i have an alarm great question jeff andrew i've several alarms i thought you can use the one time almost slept through do you not think it's better to have a meeting earlier so it's not in the middle of the day for four-fifths of us? So I am getting penalized for living on the West Coast?

Yeah, so he should suffer. All I do, and this is very American of you, Gavin, I'm adjusting for everything. I'm always, you guys, 10 a.m. show up, 8 a.m. for me. Every time. I'm going to jump 10 a.m. show up 8 a.m. for me every time. I'm going to I'm going to jump out and in defense of Andrew here and just say that I do think he's pretty accommodating, considering most of what we do is probably inconvenient for him. I agree. I'm actually on your side. And I I often don't look at my calendar until Monday, which is my fault. I think what happened the time I did it, I had a doctor appointment at the time of our meeting that was probably booked like three months earlier yes so i just was like oh

shit that's this week and i was like sorry i have to move it yeah totally and that's fine but it was just like i i agreed to this meeting to try to be accommodating to y'all and then the meeting kept getting moved and it was like why are we doing this? Let's move this meeting. Yeah. You should have just said that in the beginning. That's all I was going to say. I was just waiting for you guys to finish so I could say, why didn't you say any of this when we picked the first time? Yeah, if you have to wake up much earlier on one day, you should have been like, I'm not up by then.

Yeah, just go like, hey, honestly, can we do it at one your time? That would put me in a good position. I don't care yeah at the time i think i agreed to it because it seemed like that's when the meeting was wanted to have taken place i said that horribly but there was a sense there was a sense that that is when y'all wanted the meeting and i was like i'll do this for one week and see how it goes and then if it's not ideal, then I'll move it. But then the meeting just kept getting moved. And then it became just an annoyance of, this is ridiculous.

Why is this here? Turns out it wasn't convenient for any of us. None of us wanted this time in reality. And I tried to vocalize this point. And I did horribly because I was up the entire night last time we had the meeting because I almost missed the last meeting. And I've been taking strays. I've been taking strays since that thing. And it is the most right I think I've ever been about anything.

And I'm like, I can't. No, I will get shit on for so many things. I am in the right here. I know this isn't crazy. I'll give you that. But my thinking is, why would you decide at five that you're not going to go to sleep? Like, surely, even if you slept between seven and eight, sleep is sleep. Totally.

Absolutely valid. There is a time period, and I've crossed that line where I was younger, where I'd be like, ah, it'd be worse to get sleep. Like, I'll be more tired. And now I'm, no, if I get any sleep at all, that's a win. I just was incapable of it that night. I could not shut my brain off. I was fully awake and I was really excited for this being.

I was so pumped to hear what was going to happen at this meeting to set a schedule. And that that has been that. But now the meeting's moved and we'll see how it goes. We have a clean meeting next week. Hey, speaking of meetings, this is kind of an aside, but Eric, you and I had a meeting with a mutual friend yesterday

that I've been thinking about since our meeting. I want to see what you guys think about this. I don't want to out the friend because I'm not sure if they'd be comfortable with the world knowing that they're friends with Eric and I. Okay. I can get how that would be a detractor. But we were hanging out with this friend who has a cool project that they work on.

It's like their job. And we were talking about scheduling another meetup. And we were like, well, what about in the process? We were like, well, how are you handling your workload with the stuff that you're doing? And they said, well, I do it all on Mondays. I just get the whole thing done on Mondays. I bust my ass on Mondays and basically just get all of my work done on that day. And I was like, oh, that's pretty smart if you can do it. And they only have one project they're really working on right now. So I was like, yeah, that makes sense. And then we were trying to

figure out when to get together again. And Eric said, well, what about next Friday? And they said, I tend to try it. I don't want to schedule stuff on Fridays because I want to start my weekend early. And we were like, Oh, okay. I guess that makes sense.

But then I was thinking about it in bed last night. And I was like, doesn't your weekend start on Tuesday? You only work one day a week. Yeah. If you've slotted everything to be one day, I think you're, I think you're oversimplifying what they were saying,

but I will say i agree with you what the fuck are they thinking baby i think uh at the end of this story i know who that is now i can't start my weekend early you do you work one day a week you it is an insane thing to say in the context and i'm sure the way that i i felt taking unnecessary strays for what i said if this person's probably irate if they hear this being like this is completely mischaracterized uh but based on what you said uh yeah that's ridiculous that is oh i eric's right i'm sure i'm oversimplifying it a little bit but the nuts and bolts of it are essentially correct what i've said yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

So anyway, so when do we want to get together again? I can't do Monday. Okay, how about Friday? Nah, I can't do Friday. All right, cool. So what do you want? Just say I don't want to get together again. I mean, is it a friendly hangout

or is it work related meeting? No, it's friendly. It's kind of like what we do with Nick and Jason. Right. But that wouldn't mean that wouldn't overtake the weekend. Even if your weekend had started and it's a friendly hangout, then that's still the weekend. I think we agree. I think we agree with you, Gavin.

I think we're five guys in a Discord call agreeing with each other. I think it sounds like three people where two of them are hanging out and one of them is at work. Okay. Now that sounds like an accurate assessment of exactly what this relationship is to a T. You have no idea how right you are man you just hit the nail on the fucking head that might be the perfect distillation of that relationship jesus christ man

i would hate that even if we could do that i would hate that because that means that we're only spending one day a week doing like i i don't know oh my god it's yeah you guys are the only people on earth i want to spend time with and i just want to be around you all the time with the exception of my wife and dog and daughter but you know what i mean i just want to yeah absolutely i get annoyed if it's like nine o'clock at night and i'm like oh i wonder if i should text the guys and see if they want to film something you can't don't do that you can't do that you. You can't do that. You can't do that. Just because you're awake and ready to film doesn't mean they are. You just had your first week away as we mentioned earlier

and I was so excited to text you. Yeah about it because when I missed one day of gameplay recordings I saw you guys in the Discord thing. I was like oh man my friends are having fun. I wish I was. Like it was such a like I was the sick kid

and i was looking out my window and i was seeing all the neighborhood kids play soccer or whatever and just be like oh i could have i could be part of that i'm not i'm missing that that sucks very secret garden yes i uh yeah it was brutal especially because y'all i didn't know ahead of time you were gonna do this but you guys decided to play GTA heists, not like player created heists. Like we used to do back in the day with achievement hunter, but the, the rockstar created heists,

which achievement hunter also did. The irony there for me is that when, uh, achievement hunter went through and did all of those heists, I think there's like four of them or maybe five of them. And they're like multi-part, you know, they take a while.

I was out of town or something when they started it. And so I missed the boat. They already had their team set and they were going. And so I just never played or got to participate in any of that. I think I may have gotten to participate in one of the videos, like half of one of the videos. I just assumed that you had done all of them. No, I've never touched them.

And so y'all starting last week when I went out of town was such a wonderful, nostalgic moment where I just thought, oh, I want to I just want to drown myself in a bathtub. I'm never going to play these games. Thank you so much. I'm so glad history does, in fact, repeat itself. I'm going to go kill myself now. in fact, repeat itself, I'm gonna go kill myself now. I got more fake, not real beef, but annoyed with Gavin beef

from that experience. From doing the heists? Yeah, I've never beaten the Humane Labs raid heist, and I was so excited that now we're gonna finally beat this heist that I've never finished. I've gotten to the last part of it every time, and then for whatever

reason, the group I'm part of decides to just not follow through with it. And I was all excited to continue going. Gavin doesn't want to film the heist for a little bit. He wants to take a break from filming any more heist stuff. And I went, you son of a bitch. You motherfucker. We can do it. We're just three videos ahead.

And no one's even started editing the first one. We're going to be... I'd love to just get in the bag. I feel like there's stuff that's going to come out sooner that we should make. No, I absolutely agree with you, Gavin. You're 100% right.

I don't care and I want to play Grand Theft Auto. What if you guys just deleted those three videos and never played it again? No, why don't we just finish it and then we have it and then it'll come out eventually.

Here's what we should do. Here's what we should do. Here's what we should do. I've already done all these. I should swap out with Jeff and watch. We can't do that halfway through the heist. You guys are a crew set. You can't do that. It's a terrible idea.

No, I just have to. We can't switch out. We're halfway through a heist right now. I just have to miss out on this one. And, you know, when we start a new company in 10 years, I'll miss out on it. Okay, what if we wrap up this heist, which is the second one? Or the third one, I guess, because we skipped the first one. When we start a new company in 10 years, I'll miss out on those two. What if we wrap up this heist, which is the second one? Or the third one, I guess, because we skipped the first one.

And then Jeff comes in for the rest. Who am I replacing? Who am I replacing? No, you guys have a thing set. Here's the thing. The problem with that is you need to be here, Gavin, because you've become the absolute worst influence on Nick. And it is so fascinating how to see Nick unravel.

I've learned that there are new and improved ways to fail those heists that I didn't think were even possible. And it has bled into other facets of our work. You have turned Nick into a chaotic, unpredictable mess. It was started in GTA. It bled into what we did our last Twitch stream. Eric was like, I want to tell Gavin this story about speed. And then Nick was like, well, let me sync us up for the stream. And then it was like, OK, we'll do that.

And then as soon as we sync, Nick just went, OK, we're live. Like nobody. And we were like three minutes early. And so then Eric just had to talk about speed for three minutes. Nick is unpredictable right now in a way that is so uncharacteristic of how I've known Nick for like the past four

years. And it's great. You know what, Andrew, I'm glad you brought this up and I feel like maybe it's time to finally talk about something that I have been keeping secret for a long time. This is what we call the Gavin effect. The most clear example of it

I think I can give to you all is not a part of this podcast, but certainly podcast adjacent, I guess, in some roles. You guys remember Michael Jones used to work at Achievement Hunter with us? He does the food podcast with us. Completely different human being before I introduced him to Gavin.

Just like calm, respectful, quiet. Did like to do crossword puzzles a lot. I don't buy any of that. Kind of like a deep thinker, a little mousy nerdy guy. And then I introduced him to Gavin and like three weeks later he turned into Jersey Trash and I don't know where it came from, but it's

this thing that Gavin has on some people. And what I'm saying is Nick is going to get worse. Oh, I think I believe that I believe the next going to get worse part, but I'm excited to see it. Even if I sit out and Jeff fills my slot, I can still be in the recording and I can still watch Nick's feed and I can still have the same effect. I don't like it. You're like a siren. It's the worst.

He just steers the fucking ship towards the rocks because you whisper in his fucking ear. Like it's the worst. I don't want to spoil a video but we were in the midst of something and gavin made an insane declaration and we were so like things were so okay that i wasn't even looking at my screen anymore i was opening i was in a food app getting ready to

order myself lunch because we were we're good to go and gavin yelled something and i went do i have to look up and shut down what's happening no it's fine we're all good and then we were not all good we were very much not all good and uh that has been it's just been insane nick has been a crazy person in a great way. Completely unpredictable. The Nick flowering, as it were. Yeah. I'm helping.

Oh, man. He just keeps saying, I'm helping. It's the worst. Speaking of video games, y'all know how I've been SodaStreamin' for a while? Oh, of course. How much I fucking love SodaStreamin'.

I got really into streamin'. Yesterday, I started doing the other one, Twitch streaming. How did that go? Oh, yeah. Good. Good. Eric came over and he helped me set up my Twitch account, FakeJeff is my name, which I think I must have made when we were doing like GTA and Achievement or something.

Back when we had the fake age crew. And I did my first ever stream. I streamed for an hour yesterday to two people. Why don't you just stream on our podcast account? Why are you using your own mini account? Just to have it built up so that if we ever have to do multiple streams or

if we... Gavin and I did that stream with some of the old Achievement Hunter guys and I wasn't able to stream it. I just played. I'd like to have a presence that's not necessarily our main account. I just figured it'd be helpful with flexibility. He's a contingency for when this falls apart. At least he has his Twitch channel. Yeah, there's that too.

And I know Gus is, or Gus, Gavin's been working on his, getting his Twitch streaming stuff up in the background too. I just figured we might as well all have it. It feels weird to be like the one who doesn't have it. I'm going to burn mine down though. You're having trouble with yours, huh?

What's the problem? I've got too many camera feeds. I'm trying to do it from a pinball machine, which isn't smart to begin with. I need three cameras and for some reason every El Gato piece of hardware I have works 50% of the time.

I want to smash all of it into tiny little pieces. Is there a better solution than Elgato you could use? Yeah, black magic. Black magic, yeah. Like actual professional shit. It's just like much more expensive. Yeah, real shit for actual people, yeah, that kind of thing. You gotta spend money to make pinball money. real shit for actual people yeah that kind of thing

you gotta spend money to make actual people it's such a funny tagline for a company but like i just can't there's nothing worse than when you're trying to do the fun thing and you're like i'm excited about this new project that i'm going to do and i have all the things that i need and you start doing it and you go none of this works and i'm in a hell of my own is i just can't figure out and obs is a freaking piece of shit probably not and i just don't know how to use it but why is it that if i like lose a feed of one of my cameras and it just starts shitting out green do i have to go into the properties pick what it it is, select something different, and then select the thing again. Why isn't there just like a refresh

device button? I think there's a deactivate and an activate. Okay. What is that? I'm just saying. Are you talking about like the little eyeball? Well, there's that, but I think you can double click on it and there's an activate, deactivate thing in the middle there that like

turns it off as a source and then turns it back on okay i'm slightly less annoyed well i mean but that might not even be the right thing you might because it's elgato you might really have to switch off from it and come back is you trying to do the pinball thing related to what i talked to you about no oh just completely unrelated that's a different pinball thing that's a different pinball i thought i thought you were i'm trying to get gavin to challenge me in a pinball thing that's a different pinball i thought i thought you were i'm trying to get gavin to challenge me in a pinball score off and i thought that you were going to use your physical cabinet while i did the virtual one was what you're doing that's a hilarious completely you can get the virtual version of my physical one i have a virtual version of one of your physical

ones i've been playing it a decent amount. That's an interesting challenge. Wait, you have a virtual version of a real pinball machine that Gavin has? Yes. Wow. The Champions Ball or whatever. What's the bar one? Champion Pub. Champion Pub. Yeah, it's a great. That's not the one I've plugged in. Okay. Well, I'm

just saying I have one of the four. Is this something you, Gavin, are you interested in participating in this? Yeah. He's a pinball guy. You have Champion Pub, the one where you have to shoot the ball at the guy and like the little punching bag

and the jump rope and stuff? You have that? Yeah, like the punch bag and then it spins around and it's a bloke and you can hit him in the face. That's like the coolest, that's like the coolest pinball machine. You have like the coolest pinball machine.

Yeah, if you enjoy the pinball slamming into the glass and scaring the shit out of you, then that's the one to get. Gavin, do you think he could beat you or do you think you could beat him? How confident are you? I'm not much of a pinball guy. I think Gavin has the edge when we start.

Gavin's a big pinball guy. Real quiet about it, but real big into it. Yeah, it's like a little secret background hobby. I'm into it. Not so secret now. no not not as an episode 10 of this podcast uh oh man i kind of want to put money on this i wanted it to be like the halo 2 race we did where i was streaming like we'd go back and forth and i would stream this virtual pinball game i've been playing i would probably just have to play the virtual one, though, to keep it fair. I mean, whatever works.

There's a whole other kind of element to this that's like, is there a difference between the virtual and the analog version? Well, I mean, the ability to slam it around and tilt and, you know, nudge the ball around is probably easier on a real one. Yeah. There's a tilt button on the virtual one.

You have that button on the virtual one, I guarantee you. Does it have like directional... Yeah, left or right tilt. Yeah. Up and down? Not up and down, but left and right. But if it doesn't, I mean,

that would give you the advantage on the real one. But for some reason to me, I feel like the virtual version would be easier to get a high score on. What's cool about the virtual version is you can toggle between what the actual table board is like and what the video game version of it is. So if you do the actual version, it's just that guy standing there taking hits. But the video game one, he's swinging his fists when he's hitting. There's just some additional graphics to it.

He swings his fists in the real one. Does he? Okay. I think the range of motion is more there's like a video gameized version of the board and then what the real board kind of works as interesting um i'm really excited about it i've been playing a lot of snoopy pinballs while i said that i'm all into pinball right now virtual pinball haven't been in a long time into it but having a blast did you ever play sonic spinball uh no i don't think so i played the pokemon pinball god i hate that game sonic spinball sucks yeah are you not a pinball guy eric uh no i if it's free play i like pinball but i've had to pay for it i hate it also i

owned sonic spinball when i was a kid i fuck it oh miserable i've been playing uh another jeff favorite i i got my toes i dipped my toes in the call of the wild angler oh you've been fishing i a little bit i fished one night to say i've been fishing is maybe a little bit of a stretch and i had fun it's a fun game it does the annoying thing where you have to make an account when you load in hate i hate that shit so much yeah it's so useless i had such an unexpected laugh from it where you have to catch your first fish and they like every time you catch fish you celebrate and i got yeah i caught i got the tiniest piece of shit fish just a little baby fish and i'm just look my fish look how happy i am with my fish i got this this tiny little fish showing it off it's like an inch long there's nothing

impressive about this fish we're just like hey look at this look what i did hey man humble beginnings you keep at it, and you'll catch a goldfish someday. Not a goldfish, but a gold-level fish. And it'll be huge. The fish is so small, his thumb is like smothering it. Yeah, his thumb is larger.

Is that what your beard looks like? It's like, yeah. It's kind of close to it. I think that's a good comparable. 0.04 kilograms. I have no idea how much that weighs. It was small. Could someone with Photoshop put that beard on the picture of Andrew?

I'll give a thumbs up if it's close or not to the current beard situation, if that gets done. But I caught my fish, and then I walked into the water by accident and it crashed the game and that was my time but i'm excited to get back into it yeah it's a real peaceful game it's also fun driving you just get a get in an suv and just drive around it's pretty forgiving with the driving physics yeah the hell's a blood worm is that a real real thing? Yeah. It's like blood sausage, but it's a worm. Which is really all a sausage

is, right? A big worm. Exactly. I realized my weird fear. I'm happy. For the fear diagram? I got one. I didn't consider this a fear, but it kind of aligns with Gavin's wet bread. I didn't consider this a fear, but I was like, I kind of aligned with Gavin's wet bread.

Um, I hate paper, paper cups, not a fan of paper cup. These things. I'll send a photo right now. You know, those triangle paper,

you know, those triangle paper cups. The thought of the texture on my lips. Yes. you know those triangle paper cups the thought of the texture on my lips gives me goosebumps it gives you chills right it chills me all over

it makes me so uncomfortable scratching of cardboard same thing but it's largely like paper texture don't like it at all fear I don't have a wet hand Same thing, but it's largely like paper texture. Don't like it at all. Ugh. Ugh. Fear I don't have.

A wet hand, a wet hand touching paper is like, ugh. I look, uh, this, the thought of like biting on paper or getting it stuck to my lips. Yeah. It makes me feel so bad on the inside. It like physically pains me. Yeah. So that sounds similar to someone I know who has, they can't touch like a wooden spoon.

It's like too grippy if they drag their finger on it. Do you have that? What? Like the way, like, you know, that wood that's kind of grippy. If you like pull your finger across a grippy if you like yeah pull like pull your finger across a wooden spoon it like like grips and releases yeah i'm fine with that i don't like popsicle sticks though i'm not a fan of those see that's paper is way worse way worse with paper

i'm like a golf ball like i have dimples right now like i'm just all goosebumps all over not a fan so that is my fear but i'm not like i didn't consider that because it's not like i'm avoiding paper cups it just triggers something in me that is unexplainable it makes me feel very uncomfortable which i think falls in the spirit of our fear diagram. If we have a fear diagram, Andrew, and we overlap, our overlap is just this. This is paper, yeah. It doesn't have anything to do with getting my blood pressure taken. This is such a, I hate this feeling.

Your fear diagram is a straight line. When did people decide that was an acceptable cup as well? Like what was wrong just stacking normal cups uh do you jeff do you think it was like the 50s i think it's people who are working on cars in the 50s yeah it was like they used to be waxy too sometimes you can get them waxy and they last a little bit longer but they're like single use they're dog shit they always crease in the middle i haven't seen them in a while. Usually, if you do see them, it's only at like a mechanic shop or a car wash.

Yeah, it's like, let's invent a cup that you can't put down. Yeah, you definitely can't put it down anywhere. I remember making this realization when I was in a bank as a child. That was where they had, they had like the little water thing and those.

It was an attachment to the machine and just trying to drink water out of that cup just being like this is fucking weird i don't like this yeah when are we doing our throat goat we need to i i forgot that that was the thing and just spit our mouth full into a Pyrex and then we're going to put those lines the amounts on a Gerpler the throat I am so excited to get that phone you sent me Gavin

so I could send you scan on my head I want that so badly yeah have you not got the phone yet not yet no still waiting on the package yeah I was supposed to arrive last Wednesday I think

we're still waiting on Andrew to get a puzzle too right I'm also waiting on the puzzle, yes. I thought it was delivered, but it was the wrong order that everyone else has got delivered, yours hasn't yet. I think the person Andrew is using

on Vancouver Island to forward his stuff to where he actually lives and won't tell us, I think that person's dropping the ball. Well, I think that they moved into an old age home. Do you think Andrew even lives in Canada what if he lives in like Pflugerville crazy

I bet that's the hold up it takes a long time to ship a package to Canada and then back to where it came from yeah this country is iffy on like re-importing oh man Yeah, this country's iffy on, like, re-importing. Oh, man, you would be so mad if I was doing that.

If I was making you all ship something to Canada for the annoyance of it. I'm pretending that you were on Pacific Time the whole time. I'm actually on the East Coast. I'm an hour ahead. You just want to wake up at noon. you just want to wake up at noon I have a I have an idea on how to grow our podcast organically

I wanted to pitch you guys real fast before we end if you guys are okay with it of course I hate that my brain imagined the podcast as a seed in a pot okay I posted a photo Jeff just posted a photo of Michael J Fox an autographed image and it says try the shakes I posted a photo. Jeff just posted a photo of Michael J. Fox, an autographed image.

And it says, try the shakes. It's hanging in a restaurant somewhere. I recently was in Toledo, Ohio, and I ate at a place called fucking Tony Paco's, I think. It was like a hot dog restaurant, like a Polish hot dog restaurant. Or Hungarian, I think.

But they were, they're on the map because they are, they, they have, they maintain the world's largest collection of celebrity autographed hot dog buns. Uh, speaking of which, by the way,

guess who I saw there? Fucking Kevin Costner. I took a picture. I'll load it up right now. Oh, horizon. Go get your tickets. There are plenty available.

You know what? There are, there are plenty available for you. So many. Whatever time you want to go. Uh, anyway, and I was,

while I was there, I was just looking around, you know, I did the, I, I got up three different times to look at the hot dog buns and go like, Oh look, there's a celebrity.

There's a celebrity. Oh, that's cool. And then I realized I, uh, everybody around me was doing it. Everybody is going there and looking at the hot dog buns and looking at the celebrities. Right. So that got me thinking, what if we had a photo made like a black and white, like nineties comedy, like store photo of the five of us together. And then we could give them out to every restaurant in America. We could just start mailing them to restaurants with like nice phrases on it. Like try the shakes or like can't beat their

burger. Right. And they could be available upon request. We could even give them to audience members if they wanted to then take them and deliver them to restaurants. And we could see two things. One, we could see if we could grow organically by being in, by the way, once you get in a restaurant, you're there forever. They're not, that thing's not going anywhere. It doesn't, it doesn't matter if you die or get canceled or anything. Once they hang a photo up in a restaurant, it's never coming down. And then two, maybe we could break some kind of a record to be like the celebrity, not that we're celebrities but the the podcast or the group with the most uh photos hanging in restaurants around the world do you think it's like the hollywood walk of fame where they they're charging these celebrities for their hot dog buns to

maintain the space you have to pay a secret fee dude i wish i did but i don't think so i mean they'll probably charge us but that's, 100% we're getting charged for that. We do not, based on merit, or there's no reason for us to be on this wall outside if we paid for our spot. These are all the different ones I took while I was there. Hall & Oates, Billy Joel. Oh man, we're going to have to cut that one in half.

Willard Scott. I don't know why I took a picture of AJ and Cronauer. I think it was to show Emily's dad, maybe. And then Kevin Costner. I took a picture of anybody and Cronauer. I think it was to show Emily's dad, maybe. And then Kevin Costner. I took a picture of anybody that I thought was associated with our podcast in any way. So have they written on the actual bun? Yeah, it looks like it. And then the bun's been resined.

I guess so, yeah. You think Hall & Oates recover from their beef at the hot dog bun, being like, hey, remember the good times? And they each put their hand on the bun and they're friends again. You're left bun, I'm right bun. Let's be buns together. Anyway, that's my idea,

is that we get a celebrity, like a photo headshot type thing made and then we just somehow put it in the hands of every restaurant in the world. I think some would go up. Guarantee some would go up. I guarantee you there are people listening to this

podcast right now that work at restaurants that are like send it to me i'll put it up tomorrow if we finally franchise that melting pot we can put one up there this uh is i think the most concerned i've been at the start of a jeff idea to on board by the end i think i've ever been. What was your original concern? But I didn't. He posted a photo of Michael J. Fox that said, try the shakes on it.

And I was worried what direction we were going in. I thought we ran the possibility of it being a very tasteless joke. And I was very, I was, I didn't even make the connection my my brain immediately went there and i went what are we doing i was immediately laughing at that because it's in different pen like someone else wrote it on no i literally just googled here i'll show you i just oh my god i was so jeff i was terrified of like what you doing? I'm horrified now because that sounds terrible.

No, no, no. And then it became clear that that is not at all what you were trying to reference. And I was like, okay, we're good. Jesus. It's the first one. I searched for celebrity autograph photo diner. That's so funny. Michael J. Fox is the very first one.

I just grabbed it because it was first. I had nothing to do with it. Jeff, I didn't make the connection either one I just grabbed because it was first. I had nothing to do with it. Jeff, I didn't make the connection either. I didn't, the joke didn't occur to me at all. Instantly looked at it

and went, what are we doing? No, I had no idea. It must be generational or something because Eric and I didn't get there. Oh.

But you can see from my Google search, if you search celebrity autograph photo diner, that's the photo. Oh, God. Oh, photo. Oh, God. Oh, man.

Damn, man. I'm so glad that that was like a wholesome, like, yeah, that's a fun, let's send diners buns. Could it be more wholesome? I don't want to send buns, just autograph photos. Could it be more wholesome?

Nothing biodegradable. Oh. Love it. That was a good ep. Good ep. God, I almost canceled myself in the last five minutes i was i was like what are we oh boy i'm worried about this direction and then as yeah all good that was fun let's do uh let's wrap this up and then record something else. We're recording a special video after this, right? Should we say what it is?

Yeah, why wouldn't we? I think we're recording our first sausage talk. First regulation sausage talk with questions submitted by members of the falcon tier of our Patreon. I would even record another episode if we could. I'm having fun. Yeah, you said you're a two a day guy this morning and then you disappeared i well yeah well no i was just saying that you went back to sleep no i didn't i was awake the whole time i just i said my statement i didn't want to start

a fight i was a little gun shy after the ricochets from the last thing i said um but what but was were you saying that because we're recording two today now i was saying that because i there is a level of fear going into these recordings that is like oh man i really hope it's good i'm really excited but like i hope i deliver and when we do two we just deal with that all in one day and i don't like that i'm now gonna have to do this again tomorrow like getting all your work done on a Monday sort of feeling? Yeah. It's just, it's not even getting all my work done.

It's the work that I find I'm most nervous about. Like, I really want this to be good. And like, I feel like I need to be on my game four and just stretch it out over two days. I think I prefer, because I feel like I could do six right now. Do you not feel like you have the same feeling about video game content we make not at all no oh okay because like the video game does a lot of the heavy

lifting yeah i feel like the video game is like it opens i don't have to prep in the same way for it like it will things will emerge from that that i can just react to where this is like i need to take notes and make sure my images and you can sit down at just about any video game situation completely blind and eek out a video pretty easily, but this podcast is a whole different animal for me, at least. I completely agree. I've got so many notes. I'm excited for the next one.

I've got a lot of stuff to talk about. Let's get to it. Yeah, let's wrap up. Do you have a game? I have a game for us to play. Oh, shit. That's great. I have a game for us to play. Oh, shit. Oh, yeah. Damn. Oh, definitely. That's great. Game.

All right. Well, somebody end it. Bye. Oh, that made this whole show. I've been trying to figure out what this note means, and it's my game. I just wrote it horribly, but I've been quietly looking at it like bog roll folders going. What is this? What does this mean?
