Hello and welcome to another episode of the Regulation Podcast. My name is Jeff Ramsey and with me as always, Gavin Free, Andrew Panton, Eric Bedour, Nick Schwartz. Episode 9, go.

How do you shave without clogging a sink? You don't. Oh, actually, I mean, the answer I have is not far off from your answer, is I shave outside if I have to shave my beard off or something. Eric saw my outdoor shaving set up, and he finds it repulsive. I want to, I'll post a picture here. Uh, it maybe isn't for public consumption.

Um, just based on like, uh, your twisted fucking set, like this saw looking ass set up that you have for like, here's the first image. This is, this is where Gavin shaves.

So you're looking at that and you're like, oh, this is just in the middle of, it truly is just in the middle of, there's the second image, just under a box on the side of his house, near two pieces of a broken mirror. Andrew,

thoughts? I think it's fine who cares it's his fucking backyard if he's standing in a bathroom at a mirror i mean there's a mirror out there what do you want from him it's fine that's so interesting you know now now here's the thing that's a here's a great question nick nick asks such a good question. Do you use the mirror? Do you crouch down? Well, Gavin, do you have any images you want to drop into this chat so that way people can see

how you shave like a monkey man? Now that... Yeah, okay. You've lost me a little bit on that. What do you mean I've lost you? I don't know what else am I going to see in the video. For the audience that can't see this,

because I doubt these images will come out, Gavin is in a squat as if he's taking a shit on the ground, shaving in front of the broken mirrors as close to Earth as he can get. You look like you're scared you're going to fall off the ground. Here's the thing about a mirror when it breaks. It's all still a mirror. Yeah, this.

So so this all started because we had Chris Damaris on 100 percent eat on the Michael Jordan podcast, and he talked about how he evolved shaving. We were swimming the other day and brought this up. He said he evolved shaving by hanging a mirror in a tree and he's been shaving outside and uh a room of 150 people laughed at him like for a very long time and then Gavin went I shave outside and then showed me his setup it was like oh no yeah for those who can't see it's just sort of tucked around the side. There's just two pieces of a broken mirror on the ground and I squat real close up right next to it.

First, I have to dust off the mirror because it's covered in pollen constantly. And then I just have a little shave. You got to figure out the mirror situation. And if you do that, then I'm fully on board. Me too. I have no problem with this. If the mirror

is hanging, this all makes sense. It's two broken shards of a mirror in the rocky ground leaned up against the side of a house. It's the storm train. It's all...

So what would you do with my situation? How would you put the mirror up on something i he'd probably get a different mirror yeah different mirror and double-sided tape like he'd probably give up on that one yeah does double-sided tape work on what is that shit stucco yeah yeah i mean you could you could, you know, there is that box that is right above where the mirror is where you could probably, like, lean a mirror. I don't know. I don't want to kill people walking by, knocking it down,

and putting the razor-sharp shard into their foot. Well, I mean, your lawn guy doesn't go this way anymore because you're your lawn guy, so you don't have anything to worry about. It's true. I think realistically, Velcro is probably going to be a real assistant here. You know what some people use?

Nails or screws. It's not like you can't put a screw in the outside of your house. That's how all that other shit is hanging off of it. Well, his problem is... Horrible. His problem is... Yeah, sure. Horrible. Sure. For 10 minutes.

His problem is that pollen gets on the mirror every day. So I think the solution is you have a smaller internal mirror that has Velcro on it, and you have the Velcro strips outside, and you bring the mirror out with you, attach it to the Velcro, do your shave, then bring the mirror back in with you when you're done i love the idea of having a little go bag by the door for my shaving kit yeah exactly nick said what if you put a window there with a mirror on the other side so i'd be looking that now we're talking yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah so from the inside there's just a mirror that's facing the wrong way blocking a window.

Yeah. What if you just have a regular-ass mirror outside, but you install windshield wipers on it? Oh! Oh, that's nice. What if it's a two-way mirror? So it just looks like a window from the inside and the outside is a mirror. And then Meg can watch you.

Shmi can watch you right there. Shmi will sit watching you shave shave and you won't even know now that's the best idea yeah i love that idea and then you can bring people to that part of the yard and interrogate them and then shmi and meg can watch just like it just like at the police station or or hear me out you drill a second hole in your bathroom wall one for the razor blades the other for your facial hair and you just start shoving your facial hair through the back of your wall so i just catch it and mail it out uh yeah just have it have it catch in some way just grab it your hands i guess on the way down and then just push that through the wall. Oh, maybe I could get,

you know those like old school whole house vacuum things? Like this like vacuum ports. The ones that go under the floor? Yeah. What if I just have one of those, but it's just a tube to the outside? No, you want it in your wall

because hair acts as a natural insulator. You'll be making your house more energy efficient. Fill up my walls with my beard? Yeah, yeah. It's green, Gavin. What would typically be making your house more energy efficient. Fill up my walls with my beard. Yeah, yeah, it's green, Kevin. What would typically be a small house fire erupted in a massive blaze? Can you imagine a house burning built out of hair? It would be the worst fucking smell on Earth. Dude, it would be like, it would be the greatest, like, final immunity fire challenge win of all time.

You would instantly... It's all... It would burn out so quick. The worst part of this setup is that I was cleaning out my gutters a few months ago, and I found a shitload of my beard up in one of the gutters.

Oh. Oh, wow. The, uh... Are you fucking serious? The birds had used it for... Nest. Oh, Jesus. That's great. The birds had used it for nesting too. That's great.

So you're helping the birds. It was the inside of one of my cushions, my outdoor cushions. Squirrels have shredded that and the birds stole it. And then they also mixed it with a little bit of my beard for the optimal bird nest. Oh, you know what you could do? You know what you could do? You could take this in a different direction. You could be more community oriented. Do you know, and could do wow you know you could do you could take this in a different direction you could be more community oriented do you know and to spread the word you know how

people have those little lending libraries in their front yard where you put like a little box on a stick and you throw books in it yeah what if you made a lending shaving library where you just stuck that in your front yard and then people could come by and they could shave right there you just have a stick with a mirror on it and like a little shelf to put your stuff. It's like a communal shaving station? Yeah, just like anybody in the neighborhood when they're walking by, they could be like,

oh, I'll do a quick shave real fast. I bet I could put that out, leave it there for a year and not a single person would ever touch it. I'd be the only place I shave. I would come once a week just to shave. I don't even shave. I would come every week just to shave right there.

Hoping that I would run into other people to build a shaving community. What a fascinating idea. Be a field of dreams. If you build it, they'll come. If you build it, they'll shave. I don't think so. So am I providing the shaver there?

No, I think you want... I think you'd provide your own. Well, I mean, it could be like a lending library, right? So maybe you like take a book, leave a book kind of thing. Yeah, that's... You have to put in the starter. You provide seed shaving, yeah. And you'll put like Gillette and somebody else will be like, oh, no, I like a dollar shave club myself.

And then just like build out. Then we'll have variety. What does it look like? Is it a house? What does the shave box look like? Oh, I think it could look like anything you want it to. What would you want it to look like is it a house what does the shave box look like oh i think it could look like anything you want it to um what would you want it to look like i think it should just look like a bathroom mirror on a stick yeah i agree oh it would be nice if there was some no how would

that work i was thinking like somehow it's like a face and the more full it is the fuller the face looks like you could do it you could visually tell how much supplies well I'm trying to think keep going keep going no no keep going this is good listen yeah we're in a fantasy world in which you have set up a shave station outside that is communal but it's still bound by the laws of physics. Yeah, carry on. Okay, but it could be something where it's like a

what's the word I'm looking for? Not plastic. Like a not a leather thing. You know what? Like a sheet. Like a sheet of some kind. Like fabric? Not fabric. But like stretchy. It's like a stretchy material. Like a sheet of some kind. Like fabric? Not fabric, but... Not plastic, not leather, not fabric. Like stretchy.

It's like a stretchy material. Yeah, like an elastic-type cover. Rubber is what I was looking for. Thank you. A rubber-like material that the more you put stuff in, the further the face pushes out. What face? So you can tell, because the box is a face.

Okay. The box, if it's empty, looks like a clean-shaven face, and if it's full, it, like, pushes... I don't know. Listen, we'll figure it out. What if it...

We'll figure it out! We'll scout some hair from the birds, we'll borrow some of your facial hair hair from the birds we'll borrow some of your facial hair back from the birds and it will be like a chia pet where the more stuff in it pushes the hair outward of the face so people could go like

oh shit the box is empty it's clean shaven or oh my god that is a massive there is tons of supplies in this shave box it sounds like we're making a giant communal voodoo doll. Well, what do you mean by that? Well, it's just gonna be a butt. It's gonna look like a face on it somehow

with hair that grows. Is a cabbage patch kid a voodoo doll? Just cause you put a face on something doesn't make it a voodoo doll. I mean, I think it could be. But does a cabbage patch kid have real human hair on it? I don't think it's real hair, but I bet you there's a doll out there that has real human hair. What?

Where? Really? Do you think? Well, I don't know. I think somewhere. You could probably buy a doll that has human hair. Because people donate hair all the time. You can buy wigs with real human hair.

Yeah, but I feel like that's a good use for it. Not a doll. Is the Play-Doh thing a movie doll? I mean, that's definitely not a movie doll. Also, is this what you're talking about? Like, then you put stuff in the box and it grows Play-Doh hair or something? Yeah, like, it pushes. The things in the box push the hair outward.

If you gave me a sieve and a handful of hair, I couldn't push the hair through it. Well, that sounds like a you problem. We're not talking about you. Yeah, this box has it all figured out, Gavin. How come you can't do it? I'm not asking you to physically push the... And I was just throwing it out as a concept. I just like the idea

of there being a visual indicator without having to open the box of how full the box is. And it made sense to me that if it's a shave box, it would be somehow beard related. So what we need, we need a bathroom mirror on a stick. Next to it is...

I put one right there in the chat. Just stick that bottom part in the ground. Next to it is a mannequin head with like a glue trap on the chin. And everyone could just stick their minging beard head to it okay listen that's that's a more realistic idea i want to be clear i'm the guy that threw out you should put velcro on your wall i started very practical i would argue maybe the

most practical the least invasive to the space least amount of work but you realize the velcro isn't the attachment to the wall i still have to get the Velcro on the wall. Yeah, it works both ways. You attach when you, listen, as someone who's made a wrist pocket with Velcro, half of it is tapeable, and you put that part to the wall, the tapeable part, that you peel,

and then you put the other half that attaches to the back of the mirror. Yeah, sure. I'm just going to, the first time I use it, I'm pulling that tape straight off, and the Velcro's going to attaches to the back of the mirror. Yeah, sure. I'm just going to... Come and go. The first time I use it, I'm pulling that tape straight off where the Velcro is going to be. On the back of my mirror. Who the fuck do you think you are, respectfully?

You're not Hercules, okay? That Velcro's going to stick. You think you're fucking the sword in the stone? Like you're King Arthur? Like you're the fucking knight in shaver? Get out of here. That mirror is just coming off. It's going to stay.

It's fine. Can you say anything like that? Just say respectfully and you get away with it. Respectfully. Do you think any of this tells the story? Like if somebody walks by and they see it, do you think they know? Or do you think we're going to have to them by doing something uh like putting a sign up nobody's gonna know here's what

i'm thinking here's a quick little mock-up i did you put a oh cool boy you could have you could have hit the undo button a couple of times you can can read it. You can see it. It's a folding sign that says shave with an arrow pointed in that it'll be pointed towards the mirror. So that way people will know. I didn't have room for the E. I had to go back. Maybe this is like a lemonade stand

that also has shaving. Nick said it looks like a trap by the coyote. It does. This is how Gavin is going to get Nick in a trap. It's going to be that and a bunch of breadcrumbs under a box. Might as well just say tots on it and then he's done. All right then.

Well then, you genius schmuck uh respectfully how do you shave where does i don't shave you don't shave ever no i haven't shaved in like three years i got tired of shaving so i just stopped it what is it down to your nipples no it's just it's maintained it's fine it's where it is it's just critical critical mass. Yeah. When I got my haircut like, I don't know, five months ago, it got trimmed a little bit by the guy. I didn't even ask for it. He just trimmed it, styled it a little bit. You still don't have a beard in my

head. I don't know why I can't apply the beard. I got sick of shaving, so I just said, I'm not going to do this anymore. Is this you? No. Way less. Significantly less. Less than less than that yeah do you put oils in it you comb it do you do anything no absolutely not huh because i didn't feel like shaving anymore that would then just be beard work the point is i didn't want to do face work i would just be moving the shave work to the beard work and I have no interest in the beard work

you just wanted to eliminate work I just wanted to get rid of I just didn't care about any of it so I moved on fuck it I'm gonna get oils this is ridiculous is it a style choice you must like shampoo it and stuff that's beard work

yeah well this is part of the show I mean I'm getting blasted in the face and my beard is there like it just yeah he's already doing water work it just happens to be a part of the water work is part of yeah it's not additional work huh i mean i guess you're not supposed to shampoo it or i don't know it's a whole thing you surely need to trim the the sides like around the the cheeks backed by the ears otherwise it's going to come out sideways. No, I don't. Listen, the whole point. This was not, as I said, a style thing. I don't care about that.

This was a protesting against the work of shaving. Protesting? Well, protesting is maybe a strong word. I was done with it. So you would say your face is a protest? That's maybe, I guess. I don't know, but not like actively. I'm not going to make signs. seems like that seems like more work how much is visible from the back like if we had to draw a

silhouette from behind how much of your beard is sticking out from your head i don't listen i don't i think that's a tough thing because of the size of my head i don't know if that but the size of your head the beard should be appropriate to the size of your head, because the beard grows out of that sized head. It grows out of the edge of your head. I'm gonna be honest, I don't look at myself from the back all that often, so I couldn't... I'm not sure. Are you saying you have the facial hair of a much smaller man?

I think i probably do he has a full beard but it looks like a goatee on andrew it's not well yeah it's bigger than a goatee it kind of curls so it kind of waves i think that's probably helping for the length and when you get a, they don't mess with it? No, they did. That's what I said last time I got a haircut. Oh. The guy, Johnny, trimmed it, which was great.

I didn't ask for it. I'd never... Johnny, I don't know. Caviar? Johnny, my barber. Johnny the barber. If you... If...

Yeah, but his name being Johnny doesn't... I don't... You're going to tell me... Coincidental. We're going to... I don't believe that. And I think we're going to find out that you're a barber on the side. I don't think you're going to tell. You're going to. We're going to. I don't believe that. And I think we're going to find out that you're a barber on the side.

I'm not. Listen, I'm not in the Freemasons. OK, I don't. I can't claim the qualification. What if we find out that there is an actual Johnny Caviar who lives somewhere in the NIMO that Andrew has stolen the identity of? It's exactly what's going to. That's what's happening.

Andrew has stolen the identity of. It's exactly what's going to, that's what's happening. There's a 72-year-old barber on Vancouver Island named Johnny Caviar. He was a 72-year-old barber when he was cutting hair at the old folks home, and then he died, and his identity was assumed.

He might be dead. Andrew went there to get his haircut one day, and they're like, oh no, he's dead, but he left this box of stuff. Would you mail his death certificate? Andrew's like, yeah, sure. No problem. Trash. I take over the identity? No. Didn't happen.

Johnny's great. I don't get my haircut often. It's maybe like a once a year thing. I think last time was like a year and a half or two years between cuts. Johnny's great. He might be dead, but he's great. No. I haven't heard from him in two years no he's good well he he thought i didn't he subscribed to the podcast the first time i went and then i guess somebody mentioned hearing about his barber shop on the podcast and then he thought that i didn't like the cut because I never showed up again. I just didn't cut my hair.

And the time period between. It's like a two-year hiatus. I'll be back in like a year and a half. Circle around. Check in on things. It's nice to touch base every two years with someone. A lot happens in that time. It's easy to find conversation when you have a two year window.

Yeah, but then all you're doing is catching up. That's great, though. That's the cycle you and I run for a long time, Andrew. That's not true. Oh, once we had a one time cycle that. Yeah. One time. That's not a lot.

Do you think two years from now you'll reconnect with Johnny and then you guys will start a podcast together? No. No. I don't want to fuck up my hair cutting situation. I don't want to get a new guy. It's tough to get a new guy going back to the first episode. Some things are just more important. Yeah.

Like not shaving. Sick of it. Gotta get the blades and then they get dull and then you have to get the cream. I never was confident I was doing it right to begin with just use like an electric trimmer that seems intense don't trust yeah uh it's not that i don't trust it i'm sure it has an instruction manual on the inside i just uh i don't know how to do the hand if i'm not confident in my ability to use the handheld, going electric seems like a big step.

It's still handheld. It's not like a lawnmower. No, but it does the brrrr. Well, I mean, a lawnmower is handheld too, unless you're sitting on it. Oh, that's true. It's hand and gravity held. Are you not holding the wheel when you're sitting on it?

Yeah, but that's more like, you wouldn't say a car is handheld. What would you say a car is though i think it's more immersive than that i think it's a it's more of a it's more of a full experience it's a fully 3d immersive experience a fully okay well everything could be a fully 3d immersive experience if the doors on the shave station open up wide and you're fully surrounded, that's fully 3D. Bumble knows it's hard to start conversations. Hey.

No, too basic. Hi there. Still no. What about hello, handsome? Who knew you could give yourself the ick? That's why Bumble is changing how you start conversations you can now make the first move or not with opening moves you simply choose a question to be automatically sent to your matches then sit back and let your matches start the chat

download bumble and try it for yourself speaking of experiences i, Andrew, I had an experience around you today about you that I was not prepared for. I, uh, I, you know, we, uh, full disclosure, we're recording episode nine here the day after we recorded episode eight. And right after we ended, I mentioned that I was going to mail you a care package. I have your Kerwin Frost McDonald action figures that, uh, I need to give back to you that we opened on the break show. I have just some random like face stuff.

I know there's like a sloppy Joe's bingo in there for some reason. I don't even remember why. And also the two video games I went to Las Vegas to get for you four years ago. I put those in there and I put in the go XLR mixer that I bought that doesn't work on a Mac so that we can upgrade your audio. And then I went swung by Gavin's house and he gave me a phone to put in there, which, by the way, the phone says it's contained soy oil, which I thought was interesting. I don't know. Phones contained soy oil. What?

It was a it was a sign on the back of the box that said contained soy oil. Wow. Did you have to declare that? Probably. So then I just put all that shit in a box and then I went with your address and I went to the place to mail shit. I'm not going to out the company, but it

wasn't the post office. And I said, I'd like to mail this to my friend in Canada, please. And she said, is it a gift? And I said, absolutely. It's a series of gifts I'm giving a friend. And she said, okay, I need to look at them. And I'm like, excuse me. And she's like, I have to look at all of them. And I'm like, OK, well, thank God they weren't wrapped. But she's like, but the box was open, so it wasn't a big deal. And then she meticulously had to enter in every single item. And I was like, can't we just say like toys and she's like no they won't let us three employees got involved i mean seriously like okay one action what would you call this

action figure it's a mcdonald's action figure one mcdonald's action figure and what is the value of that one uh it's uh like a dollar she's like okay one dollar next action figure and and we went through all like we went through like 15 of them and each time i'd be like, can't we just say, like, all the action figures together? And she's like, no, I have to list each item individually. And then I thought she was going to have to list the pants and the hats and shit. But she didn't. She just wrote that down as accessories. Anyway, it took her about 25 minutes to enter it all into the computer.

And then there was an error. And then she had to start over. And so she did it all over again. And then there was an error. And all three of the employees decided maybe a different computer would work. Anyway, two computers and four tries. And 48 minutes later, I mailed your package. I was the only person in that store for 48 minutes while three employees tried to mail one fucking box of nothing to Canada.

Oh, how is it? How is it so complicated? I feel like society as it as as a whole is grinding to a halt under just superfluous bureaucracy and paperwork. I don't understand how things have gotten so slow. God help you, you have to call somebody on the phone to do something? I already bitched about the AT&T thing. It took a fucking year to get new internet at my house,

and now it takes a fucking hour to mail a box of toys to a friend in a neighboring country, and $200, by the way, which is more than any of that shit was worth. I just don't understand how it got so fucking hard. It's 2024. We're living in the Jetsons fucking future and it's harder to mail a box than it was 10 years ago. How?

And that is the exact reason why that phone has been on my desk for three months. You guys are just bad at mailing stuff. You come here and mail you stuff. Oh, and also I'm calling dibs on last in the line to mail Andrew again next time it's somebody else that's fucking I got angry

I was so mad I don't need it I mailed him a puzzle yesterday so it's gotta be next I need to figure out where I'm gonna do that puzzle I don't have a table I'll figure it out hang on we just spent money on it where I'm going to do that puzzle. I don't have a table. I'll figure it out. Hang on. I don't own a table.

We just spent money on it. This was like one of our first company purchases and you're Yeah. I'll figure it out. Nothing was prepared

for the puzzle? What do you mean prepared for the puzzle? You're going to build it on your bed. This is not going to be good. That is a consideration. I'll probably reorganize

my desk is what I'm thinking. This is going gonna be worse it seems like you should just do it on the floor uh you could fit a 500 piece puzzle on your desk i have a really big desk i have a i here's the problem with my desk and we're gonna get in my desk for a minute i have uh i have to connect the microphone i use has one of those clamps on it, right? Where you clamp on something? On the fridge?

Well, it's now on a small table. It wouldn't work in the fridge, unfortunately. Still on the table. I guess we went over this. It's too thick. They don't make clamps big enough to clamp onto my desk. It's a real annoyance. Because my desk is massive.

It's a very thick, large desk. I bet I could find a clamp big enough. I guarantee you, you can't. I got a clamp that could probably clamp around my fist, like thumb to little finger. Is your desk fatter than that? I just made a fist. It's significantly

smaller than the thickness of my desk. I need a picture of your fist with the desk. Okay. Let me try to figure this out we're asking him to post pictures of the umi digi bison again like this is not also even when he gets the cell phone he's still using the umi digi bison uh jeff i don't want to mail anything to andrew i'm not doing it next i'll do it i'll do it when it's my turn again, but it's not my turn again. That's a 12-inch clamp. Surely

that would work. That might be too lightweight for the mic arm. Yeah, there's no way that's going to hold the mic. You think so? Dude, those are designed to hold two by fours together. That thing's huge. That's like woodworking shit. Yeah, maybe a couple of them.

Yeah. The clamping capacity is 300 pounds it's a 12 inch bar clamp throat depth is three and three sixteenths of an inch it weighs two pounds throat depth and it uh yeah they say it right here they said the orwin clamp 12 inch with a three inch three and three sixteenths inch throat depth truly is the throat goat of clamps what do you think your throat depth is yeah should we find out who the throat goat is of uh the regulation podcast i wanted to put a balloon in and measure but you wouldn't let me oh we could do that now no no d you understand that that wasn't legal saying we can't do that that was me saying i don't want to watch one of you die.

We certainly can't do it now. We certainly can't do it now where my mortgage hinges on you guys doing the show. What are you talking about? Don't die from a balloon stunt. We're also losing health insurance soon. So what is the real? Are you worried about the balloon sucking, getting stuck over the air hole? Yes, yes, nothing has changed.

Nothing has changed from what has happened originally. Do you think that I couldn't... Yes. I think you couldn't, and then that's the end. That's the end. I think you couldn't. That's the end. Oh, so that's a...

Well, it's fat because it's a it looks like you're fighting it I'm fighting the desk it's like doom in first person punching that desk the phone but as you see it's multiple you get a context of width with the xbox

games in the first that's a great picture But as you see, it's multiple. You get a context of width with the Xbox games. That's a great picture. Wait. So let me go back to your clamp for a minute. This Erwin clamp. Where do I strap the mic in? Oh, I don't know. Yeah, I mean, I wasn't going to bring it up,

but Andrew, you're 100 andrew you're 100 right in this whole situation there's all kinds of different kinds of clamps i'm just saying i've looked at them you can't find one you said you'd find one that would work you can go to uline and google giant clamp i'm sure one of them will work i'm gonna get why are you no turn stop for a second you just claimed you could easily do this or that you could do this. And then I challenged you and your response is go to a website and find it. I've done the research. I've looked.

I'm telling you there isn't. You're the one. You're in the party that thinks there is. It is on you to find one. It is not on me to redo my research. Okay, send me a picture of what I need to clamp and how it needs to look and I'll find a solution. But I'm having trouble.

I'm having trouble visualizing what I'm looking at. The clamp that I went to clamp and how it needs to look and I'll find a solution. I'm having trouble visualizing what I'm looking at. The clamp that I went to go and get, my biggest clamp, that definitely would be too small. That's what I'm looking at. I've looked at them. They're all too small. I'm going to need detailed photos so I can fix this for you. Here's what you do.

See that drawer? Get rid of it. I've done that. I've tried that. You've tried to remove the drawer here's the problem i've removed the drawer yeah the thickness of the clamp is larger than the inside of the drawer i can't fit the clamp in the drawer it is too the drawer itself is too small here's an idea here's an idea hold on just a second what if you got my problem solvers on this podcast a bench vice uh you screw that into the top and then you can clamp anything the top looks kind of like glass though what is on the top what is that it's like a red

it's like a red car thing it's a vice it's screw you screw it it's a red car is that what you said no i said like that's i feel like you'd see that in in a mechanical workshop it's just for holding something yeah it's just to hold shit i just i've seen casino and it didn't look like that the red the bright red really threw me there's all kinds of there's all kinds of weird clamps that i bet would do shit like you can do all kinds of stuff with that thing and i mean your desk is so big that it shouldn't be a problem that this thing is the size of a 15 pound weight, you know, so it should be fine. That's a plate right there, man. Easy.

You could also just get a desk stand for Mike. It's too heavy. The arm is too heavy. Well, get rid of the arm. Why don't? Well, I like the arm. Why am I getting rid of the arm? This is my,

this is my favorite podcast. We're coming up for solutions for a guy who doesn't want them. I desperately want them. I'm going to need to see your set. I'm going to need to see every set right now. I'm sending it to you right now. I got an image. I'm not looking. I don't need it to be aggressive. I'm just saying at some point I need to see every... I'm sending you my setup right now. I'm sending it to you right now. I've got an image. I'm not looking to... I don't need it to be aggressive.

I'm just saying at some point I need to see it and then that way I can help find a solution. Jeff, it's going to be right here. There you go. There it is. That's what I'm dealing with.

Yeah. Oh. Yeah. So I've looked at the on-desk options. That might still work. How about this, right? See the little conical part? the actual clamp part, the cone? Get rid of that.

Yeah. Drill a hole. Drill a hole in the desk, and then stick the thing that's in that cone in the hole. Yeah. I need a drill. Well, you're going to need that anyway to drill a hole for the vice. Yeah, it's the biggest hurdle is that I would need a drill. How do you make a hole currently?

I haven't needed to make a hole in a while. I guess typically a shovel, I would say. A metal in the wall. Well, hold on. Do you have a shovel? And a hammer? Maybe with a hammer for a wall

Andrew I'm with you get a shovel like if you wanted to drill into a stud like hang something on a stud something of weight like A shelf how do you do that with a shovel? I'm taping that fucking thing Me I'm getting I'm gettinging that fucking thing the wall are you kidding me I'm getting I'm getting that wall tape that's what I'm doing we'll tape in velcro yeah well not velcro in velcro you'll see that sticky wall stuff

you could use I bet we could get you a new desk no my desk is great I don't need a different you just this is what I was with that road mic arm that just need a different you just this is what i was thinking goes with that road mic arm that's all this is my solution this is my velcro solution i'm thinking about getting a small piece of wood like a square piece of wood and just nailing that to the corner of my desk and then having the clamp attached to the wood that's a great idea

i think that might be the fix. That's easier than drilling a hole. I mean, I have an actual solution, but I don't want to share it. No, I mean, you're good. It seems like you're good. It seems like you just should get a piece of wood and you got it.

I agree. I'd love to hear what your solution is. It's just this other compatible road arm that you drill into your desk. Once again, once again. You can't drill out a situation. Once again. Once again. It's a drill situation. Well, just get a shovel. Here's what you do. You take

the drawer out, right? Then, the piece of wood that supports the drawer stops it from falling down onto the ground. Get rid of that too. There's a piece? Like the bottom of the bit behind your little finger okay okay yeah and then clamp it on i'll uh i don't listen i've done this i've tried a lot

of things i'll try it again i don't think it works well on the bright side i've heard at least three different ways to make this work now i think the nail with the wood is probably the best. You know what? I agree. I retract my idea, and I'm going to go with... Why'd you still have a drill? No, no. Dude, 100%.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Jeff will send you a drill. No. No, no, no. Nick will send you a drill. Nick will send you a piece of wood. No, but hold on. Do you have a piece of wood?

No. Do you have a piece of wood no do you have a nail probably i could probably find a nail okay do you have a hammer ah yeah absolutely cheaper to buy a piece of wood than it is to buy a drill so go with that solution i feel like i could just go to like home depot a 2x4 and say, can you cut this to be a 2x3? Absolutely. Yeah, and that's definitely a thing you're going to do. Yeah, 100%. Here's the thing, Andrew. You need a drill. For what?

It's just life. Future. The future? Strongly disagree. You don't think you'll ever need a drill? I mean, I've gone almost 30 years without needing one. I don't listen. Here's the fear about Andrew getting a drill.

You've just given Andrew a drill. You know what I mean? Now suddenly, like, what is it? When all you have is a hammer, all the world's problems look like a nail? You've just, everything's going gonna look like a drillable problems uh or every problem is gonna have a drillable solution you do need to think of it as that like i'm a character in a video game and you've given me a new tool yeah and now every problem i encounter the drill will be a consideration for yeah fixing that problem you'll have a whisk

lodged up in milwaukee what did i buy a staple gun for i bought a staple gun for like we're gonna have to we're gonna have to explain to andrew why he can't drill through a mirror i bought a staple gun when i was doing the sleep spaghetti that's why i bought a staple gun what didn't work What a fucking sentence. What a goddamn sentence. Do you think you could staple the 2x4 to your desk? No.

No, no, no. I'm just gonna fucking nail that fucking thing into my desk and make it sturdy. Yeah. I'm excited. I think you should try this for the next recording. No, I'm not. I gotta go to get one piece of wood. Oh, wait. No, there'll be a break.

Never mind. Yeah, maybe. Maybe. Yeah. This is a Friday, and then we're not recording a show next week. This could... Yeah. I could have done it anyway, but yeah. That gives you arguably just about 14 days to acquire one piece of wood.

That seems like a doable adventure. Let's see. I mean, Home Depot. This is the best. You might even have a local hardware store closer than Home Depot. Home hardware is closer, but I just don't. Tractor supply or whatnot. Home Depot is the main brand.

Well, you don't need to. Andrew, can i just say right now i'm gonna stop you right now as a as a for as a former homeowner a three-time homeowner you don't need name brand wood you just need wood yeah wood to me is all the same i i meant the like the business of buying it from apply you definitely want to support a mega corporation never mind can i can i propose that like if you go like you're going to get the wood and everything and like just inspiration strikes you i kind of want you to just like follow that thread yeah you you might be surprised just walking through the the hand tool

and woodworking section jeff's right seeing all the different clamps and things they got going on in there you see a vice in person. You might. Yeah. Inspiration may strike. Yeah. 48. You might. You might see one in person and go, this is a cool red car and I got to have it.

This is better. 14. 98. While he's doing that, Eric, explain to me how Jeff could. Okay. The balloon is popped to Jeff's mouth,

right? I don't understand what you don't get about it. It's that it's that you breathe it in, there's a shock, and you go, as the thing explodes, and it goes in your throat, and we have to fish it out, and we don't in time, and you die. You don't think I could fish out

rubber from Jeff's throat? No. Not quick enough. It's not gonna pop. One inch. No inch like 24 inches what if it was a cellophane bag how is that better i don't know this is like that time when gavin was convinced that it was safe to put coke and Mentos in his own butthole and shoot it out with a funnel and then we watched a video and discovered it's not and people get hurt you can't do that I don't care mostly about people getting hurt it's the

dying thing that like yeah really because I'll be on the hook for it and I don't want that that's fair nobody wants to be on the hook for it, and I don't want that. That's fair. Nobody wants to be on the hook for death. How else could we... Okay, what about this? We see who can hold the most water in their mouth, and then gauze the water into a cup, and we take the measurement that way. I like that.

That's a great idea. I'm totally fine. I think that's great. I think it's fantastic. And that's the throat goat. Yeah. Yeah. Nick doesn't sound like he's in,

but I feel like on the day of, he will be. Yeah, probably. So we'll all just sit around a table and gauze into a Pyrex and see who wins. Yeah, I think it's a good idea. I think that's a good idea. Well, I think it should probably be colored liquid, so that way we can visually, we want it to be stunning. And we should all have different colors. Like, I can be green, you can be be red like that kind of thing Andrew you in

Mm-hmm. He's still looking at wood easily. I think he's doing it. He's trying to see how much water he can fit his mouth Do you have a lucky way of measuring the water This is the best show in the world. Why are you holding it? You're not going to make any more. If anything, you're going to lose it the longer you hold it. Holding it in makes absolutely no fucking sense. The problem was I didn't realize the thing I was going to spit it into had water in it already.

It was a real conundrum. What do I do? That's a real diehard three problem right there. Yeah, I guess, you know, you're about to spit it into a cup full of toothpaste water. I mean, I just spit it out. I don't know how to measure this. I don't really know what I accomplished here. I don't even know to measure this I don't really know what I accomplished here I don't even know how big this cup is I don't even have context Anyway I'm getting my reps in

I'm getting practice Maybe we can incorporate the Gerpler somehow That's what I drank it out of I had a Gerpler What if the new Gerpler has Lines on it? Like the throat goat Gurtler.

That's interesting. What if each of the lines is how much liquid we all hold so that way you can know if you hold more than Nick but less than Eric. And Nick just said the throatler. The throatler. Yeah, you can measure your throat to our throats.

I love this. A regulation throatler. I want to be the... This has nothing to do with throats, by the way, which I think makes it especially funny. Yeah, but it's funnier. It gives all the cheeks. Yeah, it's really like the cheek goat.

Yeah. Well, think of it like this way. The throat is like the table leg of the mouth. So you have to have a strong throat to support all the water that goes into your mouth. They're all connected. Speaking of throats, I was at the pharmacy the other day

and I looked at this poster and I was just cracking up because I'm an immature moron. I was just imagining that scene in the matrix, but Morpheus has two spoons instead of two pills. Imagine the reflection in his glasses. He's like, you take the day quill or the night quill. And I had to explain to the pharmacist why I was laughing. It's so funny. Did they get it?

I mean, the hard part, Gavin, the hard part is there is no spoon. They should have done it because it's a spoon heavy movie. Hey, I have a cultural idea. A multicultural idea. I want to run by you guys. I was watching a TikTok the other day,

and it was of a British person at a high school football game, like in America, and going like, I can't believe this shit is real. I really genuinely thought this was the only stuff you see in the movies. Do people really have high school football games

every Friday night all across America? And I thought that was kind of funny, and I was thinking about how, Gavin, you've lived in America for a very long time now. And I wonder how much American stuff you've done versus haven't done. And then that got me thinking about what would be the most... If you just wanted to design a day and just say, I'm going to give somebody the full American, the most American day from like breakfast to to when you go to bed at night what are those activities and then it hit me we have a brit and a canadian so we could have we could each design the full american day the full british day

and the full canadian day as like this is like what a regulation like top tier canadian day is if you want to you want to absorb canada in one day period this is what it is uk america what do you guys think about that i love it like the like the british gauntlet yeah like the british gauntlet yeah it's like you start with a full english and then you do uh i don't know high tea at some point right and then you probably there's probably something else involved then pop up the hill for some cheese rolly yeah you do something else with your i assume british people do something else, right? You collect spoons and watch a,

watch the queen on a parade. I imagine the American day is, and then you fire your gun in the air and then you go to the next thing and then you fire your gun in the air. Like it's Yosemite Sam is what I'm imagining. I, it wouldn't, I would probably, it'd probably involve a rodeo, honestly.

I was thinking. Firing guns in a rodeo, like not at the same time, but those two activities, I think would both be in there. Be some, there'd be like inner tubing on a,

like on a swampy creek or lake somewhere. There'd be definitely hot dogs. There'd be fireworks. I was talking the other day about how I thought lacrosse was fictional and just for the movie. That's right. Realized it was a real thing.

It looks so made up. Can you imagine creating something so lame as lacrosse like just visually yeah just visually like if you're gonna make a fake sport i'm not saying lacrosse within the context of reality is lame but in a world in which you're inventing a sport for a film the best you can do is lacrosse. What a lame thing to come up with. I agree. I agree with you. It is like looking at it. It's like, what if Quidditch was worse and everyone just ran around?

Like, it's just so, yeah, it's hockey for dudes who can't skate. The thing that I love the most about this conversation is that for the last year I was in the army I was the I was the press agent the one-man press office for the United States Military Academy's preparatory school in New Jersey and uh they had a lacrosse team and they would scrimmage against the West Point lacrosse team back and forth and uh I've never seen people with a bigger

chip on their shoulder in life than lacrosse players. Like they wake up every day angry that the world doesn't respect their sport and understand it. And they go to bed every night wanting to fight somebody over it. Like that is a group of people you don't want to piss off because they are they are itching to prove to you that lacrosse is a tough guy sport. I don't doubt that it's a tough guy sport. I think the problem is that there's no, like the exciting moment stuff isn't very exciting. Like there's hard hits.

I'm not defending it at all. I totally agree with you. I'm just saying that's a bunch of people that just are, I've met that as a rule, as a generally, are just angry about how people view their sport. I feel like the sport would be much more interesting if the ball glowed. I feel like it's would be much more interesting if the ball glowed. I feel like it's too small to see.

Yeah, something like that. That's good. And I don't mean this to be rude to people we know that play the other sports, but lacrosse and ultimate are like the same kind of thing to me, where it's just like it's really hard to look at it and get excited, I guess. Yeah. I had to photograph a lot of lacrosse matches in the Army, and yeah, it just...

I'm right there with you. It didn't do it for me. But I also recognize that those dudes are... I wouldn't say that to a lacrosse player's face because they would either yell at you for an hour or fight you. Is there a sport that would be lessened by having the ball glow?

I feel like the ball glowing would improve every sport. That'd be fucking awesome. I feel like it works for sports where the ball is small. Like tennis, it would help out. No, I want to see on a soccer kick, like a Rocket League

tail, you know, like when you boost? I want that on the ball. This is awesome. Or if golf balls really did the thing where if you watch golf or like they do the tail on it, like if that was just a natural

occurring process of hitting the ball. Like if you could have tracer rounds on golf balls like you do on bullets. Yes. Oh, man, I would be I

would watch so much more golf. Every time you hit a golf ball, it's like even on like a smaller scale like a pinball machine with that pinballs with that flying around oh yeah every sport would be improved what sport would be improved by going the opposite direction and making the ball harder to see football dodgeball if the dodgeball was like a mirror like if you couldn't see it like it's

yeah if it's like a mirror like that like that wavy uh invisibility cloaking technology we have now where it's mostly invisible but you kind of get a shimmer you know well like all the people that are polishing their cyber trucks to a mirror finish not realizing that it makes their car just completely invisible. People are going to be going around a corner and then driving into their own car before they realize what's happened. It would be funny to like test with each sport. What, what size of ball makes it unplayable both ways?

At what point does it being too small, make it impossible. And what point does it being so big make it impossible and what point does it being so big it just you can't you can't score like i think it's real in my head imagining like a rugby scrum where they can't see the ball and they're still scrumming like five yards away from where the ball actually is very funny or like if a basketball was the size of a medicine ball but still bouncing and shit and work like a basketball. That'd be dangerous. Yeah.

It would be pandemonium. Can you imagine getting hit with one of those? Terrible. Miss time in a rebound and hitting the fucking... What a way to protest Steph Curry. Just giving him a fucking boulder to try to shoot threes with. Just making it impossible.

Just making it a literal boulder to throw. Bring back the dunk era. Everybody in the paint. I think tip of the shuttlecock glowing would be cool. That would be cool. I bet that exists. Yeah, I bet it does. What if you drove a Cybertruck into your wall

and then used that to shave? Just use the reflection. Dude, there are so many glow-in-the-dark shuttlecocks. Wow. Yeah, but it looks like not the tip that glows. It looks like it's the whole thing. You're right. And then also it looks like it's the only part

that doesn't glow is the tip. Is the tip, yeah. Who do you think of the the regulation crew that's great who do you think is the best badminton player me right now i used i used to play all the time as a kid yeah i was a pretty big player jeff says him i see i'm thinking i could just wipe the floor with all with the lawyer oh probably probably this one's like this one has a glowing blood right there you go that's what Says him. See, I'm thinking I could just wipe the floor with the lawyer. Oh, probably. Probably. This one has a glowing tip. There you go.

That's what we're looking for. Because others, they glow on skirt, not hitting spot. And I agree. That's right. That's right. Should we have a badminton tournament? I think so. We can.

I don't think it would be that hard to set up. Can you play on a regular volleyball net? Or is it a lower net? I don't think it would be that hard to set up. Can you play on like a regular volleyball net or is it like a lower net? I don't remember. I think it's lower. I think we just buy a kit and take it down to Zilker Park probably. But it needs to be regulation height.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like Walmart. You can get like a $20 kit pretty easily. Okay. Yeah, yeah. This is good to know. Oh, $80. Here you go. Do we want to do doubles? Oh, that's more than I thought. Yeah, I think 2v2 and then the winning team goes

head v head. Like that's how you do it. Oh, wow. That's great. That's pretty good. Teammates have to turn each other. That's great. So how are we filming the 2v2? You know, tripod. I don't know. Get a fucking piece of wood and nail it to a desk and put a hammer on it

maybe a clamp when all you got's a hammer every solution man I get it oh dude here's a fucking awesome setup look at this I was pitching Eric you guys doing like a summer video

and this feels like it would fit in that very well yeah it started with me wondering if you could fire condiments out of a super soaker it's the idea of like Nick just walking around shooting condiments on like hot dogs it's really funny I like that

idea and I want to follow through I want to follow up on that but I have a question do you think you're a better badminton player in the daytime or at night I like that idea and I want to follow through. I want to follow up on that. But I have a question. Do you think you're a better badminton player in the daytime or at night? Because we can do it both ways. We know they have the technology. Does the net light up? Yeah, they make them light up, actually.

They do. Could you get that glow-in-the-dark paint and then paint the field that way? The lines? Because you've got to have lines. Oh yeah, we could just rent some UV lights and make the most glowing badminton game the world's ever seen. Or you could just go to a park during the day

and not do all that work and then set up a net and play. I think that's probably... I mean, either way, we're nailing wood to a desk to film it. Yeah. See, that's easy. Look at that. Now, is there like a halftime shave break for this game? Yeah.

Do you think you're do you think you're better with a beard or without? Oh, definitely without. Less weight. More air. Move faster. Yeah.

I like this. I think I think Gavin might be the best player, but I think Nick and Eric would beat Jeff and Gavin. You think Nick and Eric are going to beat Gavin? Oh, fuck.

I should tell you this. I once lost miserably to Jack at tennis. Okay, well that really shifts things a lot. But tennis is very different. When was this? Seven or eight years ago, maybe? Okay, never mind. I'm shifting things

a lot. Yeah. Now, Eric, this is going to be face-off season one, maybe? Oh, yeah. Okay, never mind. I'm shifting things a lot. Yeah. Now, Eric, this is going to be face-off season one, is what I'm imagining at this point. It's going to be Eric, Nick, and I think Nick will win. Oh. Wow. Andrew's early predictions are that Nick takes it. Okay.

He fucked up, but hell yeah. I think Nick will want it more. I think ultimately Eric won't care about winning in the same way Nick will. And the fact that you have a kid, Nick, I feel like just gives you an edge. I feel like you're probably running around more than Eric is just by nature of having a child. Do you think caring about winning is the differentiator? Because if that's the case, I promise you I care more about winning than all of you put together. Oh, I don't know about that.

Yeah, but at some point there's a skill gap. You know what I mean? Yeah, that is... All I'll say is I hit badminton like I hit dingers. You know what? That is a great point by you. I greatly underestimated your hitting ability. That's great, man.

I guess if we're playing badminton for distance, you're going to be crushing it. Listen, I was hitting home runs because that's what the job was to do. If you wanted me to hit line drives across the first place, I've done that. I'm not all power. I'm just imagining Jeff is like

a tennis guy who only goes for aces, like full power every serve, but isn't, isn't accurate enough to do that. Oh man. Uh, I'm bummed that we're not going to record next week. Yeah.

Oh, Jeff won't, won't be recording stuff. Yeah. I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah.

But you know, Jeff not being here. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know if you guys feel this way. I feel like Jeff is pretty crucial to what we're doing, but you know, Jeff not being here. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know if you guys feel this way. I feel like Jeff is pretty crucial to what we're doing, but you know, that's definitely,

Oh, absolutely. I'm just saying we're going to record. It's not like Gavin was pretty silent when I said that. That's all I'm saying. I agree. I appreciate the partial gas up from, from Andrew and Eric.

Thank you. I feel, I feel loved and important. And also bad that I'm denying you me for a week. I didn't say that. That's what I got out of it, essentially. I'm bummed that you're missing

the gift of Jeff for a week. I feel bad about that. If you want, I can call throughout the week periodically. I have a lawn question. Why did all my clippings Rot Why did dead grass Rot

It went all white and fluffy like mold Probably molded Wait what it went white Yeah it went all white and fluffy It disturbed me And then I was worried that when I put more grass on top in the bin, that it would blow up all the spores of weird shit in my face. Are you scared of becoming a clicker?

Yeah. Why are we worried about spores? I've just never seen plants go moldy. Well, I mean, it's 100 degrees outside, and all the grass is probably wet when you cut it, so it's all damp and moist, and it's just mildewing. And then you stick it in a

hot box and put a lid on it. It doesn't have anywhere for the moisture to escape. And then you don't put it out for anyone to take away. Yeah. And you leave it for a whole extra week, so yeah. Do you think it's going to kill me, though, or am I safe to live near it? Can I be honest with you? you think it's gonna kill me though or am i safe to live near it can i be honest with you i think it's probably too late yeah you didn't happen to

shave near it did you i wish to god you'd ask this question yesterday is it next to the wall mushroom or is it in a different area the slime you mean? Yeah, whatever. You know, your house is fucked. It's true. We found out about his wall hung TV that he can't move. And there's all it's yeah,

there's like a lot going on. The guy told him if he moves his wall mounted TV, it'll fall off the wall. Yeah, it's not. Nothing's great, but I'm making do, all right? I'm so fucking glad I don't own a house anymore. Oh, man, this must have been what it was like for y'all for the first two years of the podcast. Yeah.

When I was trying to get shelves installed. You know what else is great? What? Horizon. Horizon, a wild west story quiet place day one killing it it's gonna have a big week 50 million 800k oh no that's almost a million dollars it's close oh cool buddy you had a million dollars right now if somebody gave you 800 dollars right now you'd be so fucking blown away yeah i agree and if i was kevin costner in doing that i'd be real bummed out i don't think i think eight hundred thousand dollars eight hundred thousand dollars now they they bring up that it's not like the audience for that is going to the

thursday night showings by large yeah i would love to know who like who is the hardcore the hardcore that has to go to the fucking midnight premiere of Horizon? Everybody knows two cowboys go to bed when the sun goes down. I keep wanting to call it Forbidden West, but that's the sequel to the mech game. But I just feel like it fits that story. What is it called? Horizon A Western Tale? What is it?

Horizon Forbidden West? is that a mech game i just installed it that is here's what's gonna happen people are gonna be like an american saga they'll be like oh i should see that and they won't get around to it until uh they accidentally see part two and then that will add to my tool oh there you go oh oh. Ooh, this is, hey, there's something in the article there. I just put it in there. Critical reviews for Horizon stand at 41% on Rotten Tomatoes, which isn't as bad as Costner's The Postman at 14%,

though it is below Waterworld's 47%. Are you telling me that this movie is essentially as good as Waterworld? Cha-ching! We've got ourselves a barn burner. It's gonna build all summer long. Titanic 2.0, here we go. I'm fucking pumped.

I cannot wait for the Horizon ride to continue on for many years. It'll just be like Westworld. It'll just be people killing Indians and any is the Wild West do we have a running total to read out or anything I could I could pull it up what everyone's that okay like people appreciate you I got I got

an update of the running Gavin is crushing it right now unfortunately Gavin currently at 554 million dollars Jeff has a hundred twenty four million dollars uh jeff has 123 million in second eric has 108 million in third i have 105 million and fourth so we're all kind of close and then nick currently with 13 million in fifth place he's gonna catch up hard and fast though he's got that despicable me coming yeah he's got minions or whatever like it's about to go crazy. Well, Blue Lock episode Nagi releases today for Nick, so that's gonna be big draw. Alright, count those

dollars, baby. I bet it does better than Horizon. Is it just me or are you guys getting ads for Fly Me to the Moon, that Scarlett Johansson Channing Tatum movie? I'm getting them all the time. So time so many ads for it dude i'm glad it's not just me it no idea what it is it looks like a fake movie that 30 rock made it does not look like a real film i can't believe but i have it and i i don't like i felt like it would be a small like romantic comedy but they are pushing it like a summer blockbuster that in a way that

i think is odd so i just wanted to make sure that i somehow didn't fuck my algorithm because i own it and have looked into it i'm glad you're also in the same boat eric you oh yeah i do yeah i bought it for a whole four points oh i've been trying to figure out a way to iterate on this idea and so that we can do it again and a lot of people have been submitting ideas to us. I've seen a bunch of it. Andrew's got a whole list. But I did land on something. We've been talking about wanting to do something

with the Olympics, right? And we had talked about maybe throwing all the countries except for our countries into a biggo thing and pulling out, and then three each, and then those are the countries we support. And then, I don't know, maybe rooting for them on a live stream or something. But I was thinking about how countries collect medals,

and there's the medal race, you know? At the end of the day, it would be interesting if we collected or we did something like that, but then the goal was to see how many medals the countries we picked got we we picked got and then if we could use that currency down the road in some way that made sense that's fun yeah i did that sort of with the last olympics where i i bet the over on every single country's olympic medal count

and uh i think i came out like positive 50 cents i made equal bets across each for like a dollar really there's one country that was not expected to win too. It was one and a half was the line. And I got it because they shockingly won like some swimming thing when they're only expected to win a medal in boxing. But yeah, that's fun. Oh,

we'll figure something out. It just, it would be funny if one day we were just like six months from now. You're like, you know what? Uh, actually we are going to do that and I'm going to spin my, I'm going to spend three Chinese gold medals on it.

And somebody, everybody's like, I forgot you had those. We can't say no. You know, it's got to be a better way to kind of phrase any of that. That's really,

I don't know. China is a country. They get a lot. They get a lot of medals. Just feels like a weird thing. I just, the way you said it just feels weird to me.

That's all. That's all. All right. I did. I'm going to spend three Italian gold medals on it. Whoa! They spend the same as Chinese gold medals, but for some reason they're different to Eric.

Mama mia. I like having seasons with these type of things. I was thinking when the movie season ends, that's when NFL season begins. doing something where like we have a kicker draft because Gavin loves football, which is a foot sport. If we do like an auction of kickers and your goal is to have the most or least field goals.

I haven't decided which, but like we just run through every kicker and we have to bet on them. Like we're heavily, heavily invested in the NFL season, but only from the standpoint of kickers. I love that idea. Love that idea. How do you pick them?

I would spend two silvers and a gold medal from a country of your choice to approve that. That's good. See, you say it like that and it's fine. If you say like I'm spending three Polish gold medals it just I'm telling you it sounds it's

not good it just sounds weird that's all but it isn't actually weird I understand I'm just I'm trying to get the optics so that way you're aware that's all we also could use it for sloppy just

bingo I thought would be fun right out all the I love that you get to buy your bingo card does like pink taxi go for like 70 points because it's more probable although those aren't those haven't been around as much recently i'm not putting anything a wheelchair tell you that fucking much we should wrap up we should should wrap up. We should also plan a Sloppy Joe's Bingo soon. I'm pitching to do one of those. Let's do one soon. Yeah, yeah. I think this is good.

We'll get it on the calendar. Alright, well I guess that'll do it then. Rare Friday recording. How did everybody feel about this one? I liked it. One of my favorites. I was gonna say I kind of like the energy level of it. Just kind going to go by wood. One of my favorites. I was going to say I kind of like the energy level

of it. Just kind of like chill. It was a chill episode I feel like. I don't know if that's how I'd phrase it, but I loved it. That's how I felt. Oh, I had one minor outburst because I was mad about the post office, but other than that, it was really chill. I think it started pretty high octane, and then I got really tired from laughing.

Yeah. Ended on a chill note. That was nice. Speaking of ending, your time listening to this podcast has come to a close, at least this episode. Now, that doesn't mean you can't listen to any more.

We've got hundreds of back episodes from a previous podcast we did before our company was shut down out from under us and we were uh you know allowed and and uh supported and encouraged to start anew which is what we've done and we would like you to continue the journey with us by going to our website that gavin loves to say regulatory on.com You were, by the way, Gav, right on top of that. Thank you so much. I thought you were going to say it. Why would I say...

Why would he set you up? Why would I set you... We'll see you next time! I can actually buy singular nails. That's awesome. How much is one nail? 53 cents. It's the cost of one stick of wood. Highway robbery. one nail? 53 cents. It's the cost of highway robbery.

You're getting ripped off. But it's for six inch, eight inch, a dollar five. I don't think I need it. Oh, do I need an eight inch? You do not need an eight inch nail.

I think you got to get six. That's six extra inches. Plus you're buying a two by four. And I got news for you. A two by four isn't two by four. It's one and a half by three and a half. So you really don't need that much. I'm going to buy three nails.

Awesome. All right. We'll see you next time. Bye. Bye.
