Hey, it's producer Eric. I wanted to let you know about some supplemental content we have coming
your way at the end of this week. If you're a Rooster Teeth first member on the 21st,
you'll get the commercials draft. We are drafting ads from our childhood. If you're not a first
member, you can wait until the 22nd, which will be Saturday, and that'll be free for everyone.
But that's not all, because on the 28th for Rooster Teeth first members, we will have the
state draft. We're drafting states. If you're not a Rooster Teeth first member, you
can get it for free on the 29th. So that's the commercials draft this week, the state draft next
week. But right now it's another episode of the F*** Face Podcast. Enjoy. Okay. this is episode 163.
Up to you where you guys want to take it,
but last time talking about, just to recap,
the Dallas trip, movie plots, tomato,
the worst soup, smeg, kitchen tables,
or I guess coffee tables,
equally distant birthplaces,
Andrew's thumbstick journey, and
a thumb cam. So, excited to find out what happens.
Don't forget about Nick Nameless. Oh yeah, Nick Nameless.
That's right. Nick Nameless is the first thing I wrote. I missed
it. Sorry. Hello and welcome to
episode 100. I didn't like
that. Are you serious? You weren't recording?
Now I'm recording. Okay.
That's okay. I didn't like that anyway. Hold on. I gotta burp.
Is it a spriteite burp?
Yeah.
How'd you know?
The name of your file
has been enjoying Sprite lately
or something?
Yeah.
I've been really enjoying it.
I've been really liking Sprite again.
I've been drinking a lot of Sprite.
Yeah.
I lost that burp.
You ever have that
where a burp just goes away
and it's a fucking...
Oh, it's the worst.
It's a sad feeling.
It's terrible.
Do you want me to come and pat your back?
I wish you could.
It'd take way too long for you to get over here.
You do that and I'll interpret the pat from here and I'll mimic it.
All right.
I'm just going to go with this burp in limbo.
Hello and welcome to another episode of the F*** Face Podcast.
My name is Jeff Ramsey. With me, as always, other people.
This is episode 163. Let's get to it.
I'm other people.
I feel like you're putting a lot of effort into the name of the podcast.
And you're going really high-pitched.
It's bleep, though, so nobody really benefits.
I do that. That's why I do it.
Oh.
Yeah.
That's exactly why I do it. Now, that was funny. So that's just. Oh. Yeah. That's exactly why I do it. Now that was funny.
So that's just for us. Yeah.
Honestly, it's just for me.
It's funny to me knowing
that that's going to get bleeped and no one will ever hear it.
And that's where I put the
most effort.
Isn't that the kind of point of this whole thing?
Yeah. I try to stay true to my roots.
We didn't really talk about it.
There's a quiet face that happened over several episodes of the show
relating to what I got you for your birthday, Jeff.
I was going to mention that.
Dude, I love my birthday present from you.
Oh, what'd you get?
Thank you so much.
I got Jeff.
They do the Florida Keys.
I talked about the Conk Republic, their own nation that they made. That would have been a fun state. That would have been a great, I talked about the Conk Republic,
their own, like, nation that they made.
That would have been a fun state.
That would have been a great thing to draft,
the Conk Republic.
Back-to-back state talk.
They do a thing where you could get a passport for that region,
and then you can also get, like,
a little coupon book,
so you can go to, like, different places,
and they'll stamp it for you.
And you can go around,
and you can get whatever you wanted on it.
We were big in the nickname talk at around the time that this happened it just started jeff was very excited about t-bone so i got jeff a t-bone conch republic passport that they send
and like verify i haven't seen what it looks like but i'm assuming it looked good it came out the
way i'm taking pictures of it right now it's fucking gorgeous dude well
so i did that because jeff was very excited about t-bone and then we took a two-week break
and when we came back from the break jeff introduced himself as porterhouse on the next
podcast and i was terrified that t-bone was dead. Because it takes six to eight weeks
for them to mail this thing out.
So I bought it ahead of time.
It was all locked in.
And he was like,
this week I'm Porterhouse.
And I thought he was just going to keep changing nicknames.
So quietly,
if you go and listen to that with context,
internally, I'm going,
oh, fuck.
Oh, fuck.
He's changed his nickname.
T-Bone is gone.
T-Bone is dead.
But I think externally, you
for some reason are just screaming T-Pain.
But he kept it.
Yeah, I did. And I'm trying to find
this...
I don't like... I don't
like Discord. What do you mean?
I just don't like it. Trying to figure out where to post an image?
It sucks. Is that your problem?
You gotta hit the plus sign. little plus on the bottom left.
No, I know, but it won't let me add.
You know how you have to do that thing where you add?
You have to add.
It's like it doesn't have all your images.
Oh, yeah, it comes in blank.
But the add more option's gone all of a sudden.
Okay, there we go.
I can do it this way.
As somebody who uses the browser, I don't think I've experienced that.
Fair enough.
It is.
Concrete public. Concrete public.
Concrete public.
Fancy little thing.
Party passport.
Party passport.
How gorgeous is that?
Beautiful.
Hope to use it someday.
Oh, man.
Speaking of Key West,
it's about to be July 4th weekend.
That's probably some pretty good,
just, I mean,
by the time this comes out,
I'll be way past that,
but just FYI,
that's probably some pretty good people watching right there.
I didn't even think about that.
July 4th weekend is probably insane down there, right?
I imagine it's going to be slop o'clock all o'clock.
Yeah, I was about to say, like an interstellar,
when they go to that different planet and an hour is like six years.
July 4th weekend, slop o'clock is just the entire weekend.
It's all slop o'clock.
You come back from Key West
and all your kids
are older than you.
It's a slop o'clock experience.
Before we started this,
we were talking about basketball
and I wanted to
share something
with Gavin.
You and Eric,
Jeff, might be familiar with well well you're definitely familiar with it
to an extent don't don't reveal any
information Gavin there's a player
that was drafted recently and a post
photo of him in the
discord and his name is Grady
Dick which is a great
oh yeah fantastic name
first of all second thing
just kind of unrelated to my broader point
who do you think he looks like when you look at grady dick is there anything that jumps out at
you is like oh he's this uh no because i have one it's very distinctive whenever i see grady dick
i cannot see anything else but the hamburglar He looks like the Hamburglar before he started his life of crime.
Like if they were going to do like a live action biopic of the Hamburglar,
young Grady Dick is Hamburglar.
Which part?
Before the crime started.
Which part?
Which part?
Just his face.
His face.
His vibe.
His aura. You don't, his hair. You face. His vibe. His aura.
His hair.
You don't see Grady Dick and think Hamburglar.
You don't think those two photos are the same guy?
It's the same guy just grown up with a life of crime.
This is in 20 years.
It's like two branching paths.
Yeah.
If he misses like one too many free throws, we know if Grady dick was five eight he would be the hand
Dude, I gotta I gotta admit he looks
Shockingly similar to the hamburger that was a morning thought I had I woke up and thought Grady tick looks like the hamburger
That was the start to my day
That's like saying Ian McKellen looks like Falco. I mean why I just there's there's not enough
What are you talking about?
Wait see does can I see Falco? I don't know I'm gonna get it for you here in just a second, okay?
Does Ian Mckellen look like Falco?
Okay here
classic Falco Okay Look like Falkor. Okay, here. Classic Falkor.
Okay.
Not bad.
Okay.
I kind of have a nose like Falkor.
Hang on.
Gavin, you might be right.
Oh, man. You know what?
In the eyes?
That's a great one, Gavin.
You nailed it.
Yeah.
Did you know that he looked like Falkor?
Had you thought that before?
I just picked too much.
You could do an Animorphs cover of Ian McKellen to Falcor,
and it would make sense.
Oh, dude.
You could see it the entire way.
Oh, I'm so bummed that that's so similar.
Also, are you saying, Gavin,
that there's not enough of theurglar to identify or compare him to
a person is that what you're trying to argue i'm saying that grady's dick doesn't look anything
like the hamburg you don't think they look the same no oh okay that's crazy to me i think they're identical grady's dick grady's dick it's a spin-off we didn't know we
wanted but it's here so my question to you gavin is i learned his name and then i thought what do
they do about the jersey situation because it's you put your last name on the jersey do you think
that it just will say dick or will they try to do like a g dot dick like will they
try to style the dick in any way dick yeah why wouldn't they do i mean i mean it's his name
because it says dick what do you think gavin i think just dick it's not you think just dick
i thought they're gonna do g dot dick to like kind of because you don. It's not like Grady shit. It's not like Dick is a common name.
It's gotta...
Yeah, he can't be the first Dick
in basketball. Yeah. Definitely
not. There's Dicks all over the place
in basketball, I assume.
Well, historically, for sure. Yeah. So Eric
showed that. Kansas Dick.
That makes sense. Kansas Dick. That makes sense.
I was expecting a G.Dick.
What Toronto delivered on is better than I could have ever dreamed.
He's the number one dick.
Oh,
one.
He's dick one.
I thought they were going to try to cover it a little bit.
He's just number one dick.
They picked the most phallic number.
That is that they picked the most dick number.
Yeah.
That is a sweet double dick and ball.
That is a side profile of a pair of balls and a long dick.
If the back of the jersey was sponsored by MasterCard,
it would be a real picture.
Oh, yeah.
What if they did like an eight?
They added below it and the one was coming out of the...
He's 18.
They put the one sideways.
Oh, the letters coming out.
That'd be great.
It's perfect.
So he's the number one dick.
And he's the Hamburglar.
But you didn't see
the Hamburglar thing,
which is crazy to me.
I think most people will.
I didn't see it.
I have a question for you, Gavin,
on the subject of the Hamburglar.
McDonald's is fairly popular in the UK, right?
Yeah.
And so they have tons of McDonald's.
Do kids have birthday parties and stuff at McDonald's there?
Yeah, I did as a kid.
I had one.
So are all of the cast of characters
on the roster over there,
like the Hamburglar and Grimace and Mayor McCheese
and all those people,
or do you just
like or do you get different characters
no I think we just had like a
a Ronald situation I think
they are they would they did like pop up
but I didn't know them by name
I feel like I've heard English people
reference the Hamburglar and things but I don't
until I've seen this picture Andrew
posted I don't think I even knew what he looked like
really yeah well next time you see Grady Dick, you're ever, uh, somewhere an ESPN is on.
Number one dick.
What were you talking about last episode, by the way?
You said the Titanic was a face.
Oh, just the whole event of it happening.
That wasn't intended.
That was a real mistake.
The whole crashing of the Titanic.
The whole hitting the iceberg on your first voyage.
So, is that going back to your
like things they could like turn right problem solved that would be one yeah i just more meant
like it seemed kind of avoidable but i don't know a lot about the titanic and why they hit the
iceberg and dude i think it went wrong because they turned right like if they just gone straight
into it nose first oh probably wouldn't have sank or they could have turned way earlier
Yeah, or not gone full speed
Huh was anybody else surprised by how close to land the Titanic was when it crashed
I thought it was way further out. I mean it's still hundreds of miles out. Yeah, but I mean on the map
It's like it's right there next to the face center of the universe yeah that's
right off the coast i feel like i get burger confidence when i look at maps
and like distance not understanding how far something actually is it always feels closer
than this the guy that promised uh four marathons yeah that was that was peak burger confidence that
was insane first of all was three oh sorry second of all that was a mistake that was that was peak burger confidence that was insane first of all was three oh sorry second of
all that was a mistake that was just a dumb statement to claim that was i've matured since
then yeah i've grown perspective then what is that perspective given you what has it taught you
uh that i can't run three marathons or walk wow oh yeah without training not with not with that attitude no way with training yeah no training
no impossible what do you mean training though like like having a trainer or just like practicing
walking uh like like practicing long distance walking yeah building stamina and endurance
yeah yeah how far could you go now do you think think? I have no idea. Before you like, oh, this sucks. I'm going home.
Oh,
but before I say this sucks,
I'm going home to blocks.
Two blocks.
This sucks.
And how many blocks in a marathon?
Oh,
2000.
How long are the blocks?
They're one mile each.
This is just a math problem.
I feel like I'm Jimmy has 16 apples and is going 52 miles west how many apples does he have how many city blocks in a marathon 524.375
oh so you're like half a percent in i don't think there's any city i want to walk that much blockage
for i don't think there's enough stuff for that
many city blocks to be interesting. You don't think New York City
has, I mean, New York City's fucking packed.
Yeah, you're walking. Or Tokyo?
No, I'm not saying that there
isn't enough space in a city for
that. I'm saying for my interest,
I wouldn't personally be like,
by block 200, I'd feel like I probably
have seen most of the things that I'd want
to see. I'd run out of interesting things to look at.
I really appreciate your perspective and what you're saying here.
This is, I think this is a growth moment for you.
I think that's great.
I don't want to get too far away from ankle integrity.
Jeff, what percent would you say your ankles are at?
Oh, man.
Oh, no.
No.
My left ankle is, hold on,, no. No. My left ankle is...
Hold on.
Let me readjust.
I think it's at like 54% right now.
What happened?
The gentle ghost made a reappearance.
Oh, no.
And was not...
He's aggressive.
He's an aggressive ghost now.
It's had nothing to do with bicycles.
I was walking...
You need to get yourself a Kinect.
Emily and I were walking... We were walking
a very boring block around the neighborhood with nothing
to look at.
It was a block like 215
for us.
We were just walking around the neighborhood
and
I had a Sprite in my hand
and it was empty
and I went to throw it in a trash can,
like one of my neighbor's trash cans on the street.
And I just looked at it and the trash can was up and I just like moved the
Sprite in that direction.
And the ghost slammed into me and just,
I fell forward into the left and twisted my ankle like a high sprain,
like a late,
late in his career,
LeBron sprain.
And it hurt so bad that I was like,
I was like a, I was like a, like less,
I was a second away from my bone going out of my ankle.
I don't know what the fuck happened.
It was such force that I like, I yelped
and then I stood up and Emily looked at me
and she was like, what the fuck is wrong with you?
And then I had to have her help me home.
Like I had to put all my weight on her like a crutch and have her help drag me home.
And it was like three quarters of a block.
It took like 15 minutes and I couldn't walk for the rest of the day.
It was the craziest thing.
And there was no hole in the ground.
There was no, I didn't step off the curb.
I was just on a flat sidewalk,
and my ankle just collapsed on itself for no reason.
And it sprained so goddamn bad.
I'm so sorry.
For nothing.
For a Sprite.
Trying to get rid of it.
For just getting rid of it.
It was empty.
I didn't even have the extra Sprite weight. It was gone.
I think if you're going to fall with a beverage
in your hand, like a popular soda,
I think Sprite is the funniest.
Why? It's just something about
I was holding a Sprite and then I fell
is a lot funnier than I was holding a Coke
and I fell. Or I was holding a Pepsi
and there's something about Sprite.
Sprite is a funny word. What about Dr. Pepper?
That's funny.
What's the worst thing that could happen?
Because it's a doctor.
Are you happy somebody finally made your reference back to you
after all these years?
I think this is maybe a little local,
but I think it would be embarrassing to fall with a Big Red
because it's got the name Big Red,
but then also if you spill anything,
you're just covered in red soda.
Yeah. I would hate to follow that.
Big red is really funny, too.
That's a great one.
I have a I have a science question for you guys.
I'm not very science minded, but I had a thought the other day that I'm.
I'd like to run by you.
I'm curious if this would work.
You guys had like boba tea with little bubbles. Yeah, you get the little balls in them. Have you tried had, like, boba tea? Mm-hmm. Oh, with the little balls?
Yeah, you get the little balls in them.
Have you tried that, Gavin?
Yeah, it's absolutely foul.
Worst texture in liquid of all time.
Oh, you don't like it?
No.
You don't like the little flavor things?
Disgusting.
Wow.
You hate it too, Jeff?
Can't stand it.
Wow.
Okay.
Me and Nick are all on board for this, so you can keep it going.
Oh, Nick likes a food?
Wow.
This actually, honestly...
Yeah, get him, get him, get him!
Jeff and Gavin might actually be the perfect people to run this scenario by, in my head.
So I was thinking, I had...
Which is dangerous.
I had a drink that contained kind of similar product to it,
I had a drink that contained kind of similar product to it,
and I noticed that the ball went through my system and made it intact.
Come on.
And it still worked.
Like, it was still intact.
It still worked?
Well, I mean, like, it was still poppable, I guess.
Like, it didn't break down.
God.
So I had a thought of, let's say you had like two liters of boba balls right
and you drank all of them and then you got someone like uh this is just the first guy I think of with
like strong legs you got like merco cro cop who was like known for kicking really hard if you drank
a bunch of boba balls and then merco cro cop kicked you in the stomach, could it pop the balls and you taste the flavor?
Can you get the flavor of the balls through your stomach?
Why do you think you'd be able to taste with your stomach?
Because there are taste receptors all throughout your gut.
I mean, we tasted with our feet.
That worked.
Yeah.
I'm pretty sure.
I mean, you can look that up.
I'm not a science man.
I'm pretty sure I mean you can look that up I'm not a science man I'm just it's a thought I had of how funny it would be to like I don't know get kicked really hard or maybe like you hit your
steering wheel in a car accident and you taste like flavor you get orange you get orange taste
oh here we go Eric said uh you want to read that gavin i think eric should read that endocrine cells orange comet
shaped cells in the gut villi have functional sweet and bitter taste receptors not shown this
there's an image here uh at their epic act apical damn it this is where i lost it apical
apicil luminal epicil luminal membranes. Apicill, luminal, membranes.
Here we go.
Sugars,
see Jeff should have read it.
Sugars and other nutrients within the gut
lumen
activate
the gut
taste receptors
leading to release
of endocrine cell hormones.
So,
the same test,
taste receptors
lining the tongue
and palate
also occur
in the stomach,
intestines, and other internal organs.
Entero and decreen.
You know what you could do if you were,
if you were,
I,
I think it would work,
but B,
you know what I think you could,
you could have,
there's a different use for that.
If you were a spy,
right?
Okay.
You know how like back in the fifties and the sixties spies would have like,
uh, they would have a false tooth that would have a poison cyanide pill in it, right?
What if you, as a spy,
you just started ingesting spy-filled boba tea all the time,
and then nothing happens to you, you just shit it out, you're fine.
No problem.
But on the day you get captured, if they catch you unaware,
as long as you've got those boba balls in you if things are looking grim you can instigate a fight with your captor or whatever as soon as they try to torture you and they punch you really hard in
the stomach they kill you you're dead mission accomplished and they don't get the secrets
that's a genius idea jeff i was thinking more of a game show, like maybe like a millionaire.
But instead of trivia, you need to accurately describe the flavor that's inside of you.
And like somebody would kick you really hard. And if you're accurate, if you're like, hmm, that's that's honeydew is what I had.
Yeah.
Then you go on to the next round.
It's called kicktaste.
It's a great kicktaste.
Yeah.
Great new.
They say that's what you know, like WWE has their own platform and their own app and their own
programming,
their own OTT or VOD.
There should be something for UFC like that.
Like they've already tried to expand with that really bizarre slap fighting.
Yeah,
that's a show which I could not get behind or get into.
But what if they start to do stuff like this?
They start to have like UFC game shows,
like taste the kick and things like that.
Yeah,
that could be,
it could be a whole new Avenue for the,
for it would be like their XFL.
Yeah.
Like that's great.
They must register different flavors though,
because if my gut ever comes back into my mouth,
it tastes awful.
And I feel like I'm not constantly tasting vomit.
Gus always talks about that one time that he got,
he got a food poisoning after eating Rudy's
barbecue and then the next day he threw
up Rudy's barbecue and he said it was the best tasting
vomit of his life. Yeah, and he
shit a bean out of his nose. Yeah,
and he said it was confusing
to him because it tasted good.
I've done the same.
I actually threw up Rudy's at your house,
Jeff.
Did you really, recently?
No, I don't know.
Probably 15 years ago.
Oh, okay.
Oh, in an earlier episode, by the way,
I said that you stopped playing Fallout in 2007,
but it was 2009.
I got the trip wrong.
You guys really don't like Boba, huh?
No.
I like the Fett.
I mean, how much do you like it would you like
would you like like a boba steak well how would that work yeah i was gonna play with a knife
what does that mean what does that mean like a slab of it but i don't know what that means
like you swallow the drink and it just is you taste you pop the bubbles you cut into a steak
like it immediately the bubble pops
Do you want like a steak full like Orbeez like is that what?
What's in the bowl?
I don't know here. Here's the thing when I think about it too much. I think that they look like little dog eyes
Oh, and I don't like I don't like yeah, but that's not what it is. It's just tapioca
But like what I thought they were solid I didn't like that. I don't like that. But that's not what it is. It's just tapioca. But like...
I thought they were solid.
I didn't know they had like a filling.
What are you talking...
What?
Boba?
Have you had boba?
Everything has a filling.
It's not like it's like a filled thing.
It's like tapioca.
Yeah, it's chewy tapioca.
This is fucking gross.
Yeah, but the whole thing is one thing, right?
There's not like an internal piece.
I guess...
I guess not. I don't know. It's not like somebody fills it i i guess i guess not i don't know what
like somebody fills it with something what is a dog's eyeball made up of there's probably veins
and shit in there there's probably things inside of a dog what i'm saying is that's what i understand
about the whole like getting punched in it releasing the thing it's it's the thing already
right but i think that if you get punched and they're easily ruptured, I think you'll be tasting more of it in a different way.
Well, and I think what Andrew was saying as well
is maybe you could inject something,
a different flavor into the tapioca ball.
Honeydew.
Like honeydew or whatever.
Oh, okay.
This is like a mechanism of delivery.
Yeah, or whatever a dog's eyeball tastes like.
Yeah.
I mean, can I ask,
does Grady Dick look more like the Hamburglar
or do the Boba Balls look more like dog's eyes to you, Gavin?
I'd say the Boba Balls look like dog eyes.
You think they look like little Hobbs' eyes?
They do.
I mean, poor little Hobbs.
He's got little Boba eyes.
In fact, if you see that picture of the orange drink, the bottom right, there's like two eyes and a nose below it.
It makes little Hobbs eyes. it's little hobs in there
poor little hobs he's inside the drink get out of there little buddy
hey i got a question for you guys okay uh that's kind of related to this
it was my morning it was my morning thought today, actually.
What happened to Silly Straws?
Like Curly Whirly Straws?
Yeah.
Well, that's not what we called them in America,
but I love that that's what you called them in the UK,
I'm assuming.
I feel like they were everywhere for most of my life
and my childhood, and they were always fun.
And I just feel like we got away from Silly Straws.
Hard to clean?
Maybe we should pivot back to silly straws.
Would you enjoy a drink more if you had to suck it through the entire face logo?
Yes.
Yes, I would.
Yes, I would.
Because I think I would.
Like, written out like a neon sign.
That would be so big.
I just feel like the world was a happier place.
The world was a happier place when people use.
Did you imagine being in like a park and seeing somebody drink with a giant face?
I'm just drinking through my favorite podcast.
Giant f***ing face.
I'm just drinking through my favorite podcast.
The straw would contain more liquid than the drink.
I wonder if you could... It would all be sucked up.
It would all be in the straw.
Yeah.
I wonder if you had a full Gerpler,
how much of the...
How much would be in the cup
by the time some of it's touching your mouth?
Right.
Like, could you empty the cup before you get any in your mouth?
Can you imagine how psychotic you would look in a public space with a gerbler and this giant
face straw?
You would have to sell it with like a flushing tool.
Oh my god.
I tell you what, you'd make an entrance on that scene.
Yeah.
I looked up custom silly straws just to see.
Custom is not super long of a word and doesn't look like a show logo.
But look at how many curves and turns are in there.
Oh my God.
That is half a bottle in there.
Absolutely.
If we do a Gerpler one, we need to have a wider, like a bigger,
a lower gauge straw.
Yeah, we need like a thick straw
that would be able to suck up boba.
We're going to have to add two more letters
to that. Yeah, that's only six
letters, Custom. And I think it has
to be stacked. It's got to be stacked.
It's got to be like a logo.
Yeah, we should make make these because whenever we sell like a drinks based receptacle it always goes really well all right let me let me throw it into the merch slack hang on

Speaking of merch, I had
an idea. I had a uniform
idea that just struck me
the other day. I wanted to run by you guys.
And see if this is a direction
I should go into in terms of invention. I know, Gavinavin you're about to get to work on on your thing uh you ever look at a fork
yeah most days yeah yeah what does a fork look like to you
uh it's uh it's four toothpicks or three toothpicks oh my Are you serious? I was just about to say it's like four toothpicks
Yeah, well this sort of looks like so make sense. I guess that's true, but it's not a phrase
That's not where we're going with this if I look at a fork
What I like what I think it looks like is it looks like my hand
It looks like my foot Mike my hand from my elbow to like this is a hold on someone take a photo
Okay, I can kind of see where you're also you my hand right now and you've just got like a fork yeah i can
see what you mean here's here's a perfect example if i feel like do the 30 minute i feel like you're
about the steve jobs us and be like we don't need a we don't need forks we have five of them in our
hands well i just i was thinking the other day about uh about
how uh if if you if you think about it we invented the fork like i think around a thousand uh bc in
venice right and people have been using forks ever since but we haven't really done much with
them since that moment not a lot of innovation not a lot of fork innovation. They've tried the spork.
That's probably the last innovation I'd say in that,
that space.
But that,
that didn't catch on.
No.
Some people like it.
Some people don't.
Not widely available.
I hate how fucking hard it is to send a fucking photo to this fucking discord.
So did you make this?
Or are you showing others just like,
just displaying sort of your idea? Fucking podcast. I was just going to show you my fucking podcast.
I was just gonna show you my
stupid hand.
It's not important at all. Imagine if you
will my hand.
No, I wanna see it. No, yeah, you gotta show it to us.
Well, ignore how much it was built up
because of shitty discord.
I won't. Take a break and then I'll
Okay, browse. No.
All this stays in.
Why is this so hard?
I want people to know how much...
I want other people to start hating Discord as much as I hate it.
I hate Discord.
I don't really do hate this.
It's easy with the app.
You trying to send a photo through the app?
He's probably using his phone.
I'm using my phone.
I'm using my phone.
Yeah, but use the phone app.
Download the app for that.
Let me see if I can do it this way.
This makes it easy.
Copy photo.
Can I just fucking paste?
Are you trying to use the Discord browser through the phone?
Hell yeah, there we go.
Okay.
Okay, yep.
So thumb tucked in.
This was so worth it.
Yeah, it's so worth it, right?
This is what you wanted.
That fucking photo.
That's a fork, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So we already have forks.
Like, God or whoever gave them to us, or natural selection created forks.
Right?
Created.
We have a fork on each arm.
But we have a better version of a fork because we have a thumb.
Right?
Mm-hmm.
Like, we have naturally improved upon the fork by virtue of having a thumb, right? Like we have naturally improved upon the fork
by virtue of having a thumb.
So why don't forks have thumbs?
If we could add a thumb to all forks,
could we make forks better?
I love it when I'm eating a load of steak
and then the thumb of the fork hooks on the side of my lip.
I mean, I don't know.
Does the finger tines ever hook on you in any way?
Oh.
Oh, that's nice and touching.
Yeah, that's nice.
Eric found some sort of a wooden spaghetti fork spoon that hand.
A wooden spaghetti fork spoon is what I found.
That's nice.
That's what I'm talking about.
The beauty of the thumb
is that you can sort of maneuver it
very well. What does a fixed thumb
get you with on a fork? The same thing that other
fixed tines get you.
Right.
Do you just want a five tine fork?
It gives you a little...'s the thing i don't know
because i have a little catchment i don't know so the food doesn't slip down yeah i'm working
on a theory here i'm just by looking at like if you if you boil a a fork down to what it is and
you boil a hand down to what it is they almost identical, but one is better because it has an extra digit
in a different place.
And I just feel like,
I don't know that it's better.
I just have a feeling
that if I were to invent it
and I would start to use it,
I would go like,
oh, this makes so much more sense.
Huh.
I feel like you're getting
some of the benefits of a fork
and a spoon at the same time
without having an ugly spork,
which is useless.
And maybe it would, maybe it would cradle your mouth a little.
I think, I think you're onto something potentially.
I think there's definitely work to do in the lab for you.
I don't want it to look like a hand though.
I don't want to have to imagine that I'm sucking food off of some fingers every time I'm using
the product, which is looking at that spaghetti hand thing
that Eric posted is all I can think about.
I don't want to suck off a thumb
to get my fucking spaghetti.
See, I have no problem with that.
I feel like a lot of the time, as well,
when I eat, I'm trying to get a bite of everything
on the plate on the same fork, right?
I'm not a freak like, was it, Nick,
who just eats the ingredients
and works his way through all of that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he'll do that. If I'm eating a freak like, was it, Nick, who just eats the ingredients and works his way through
all of that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he'll do that.
If I'm eating steak and potato and maybe some fruit or some veg on the side, I want a little
bit of all of it.
And sometimes, if you've put the potato on and you've put the meat on, it's very hard
to get a tomato or something, you know, because you crush it.
But the thumb would help pierce a little cherry tomato.
And it would be really good for getting all the different bites on the same bite.
It's like a flavor enhancer, is what it is.
It allows you to get that one extra component on your fork.
Yeah, the crushable component that fires off your plate if you squash it with meat.
Now, before we get too far away, we just need to talk about the fact that gavin in an isolated thing i said that i do not want to suck off a thumb for spaghetti and then gavin said well that's what i like about it you said something along the lines
of supporting it and then ended your statement with nick is a freak which is great in the same
sentence both things can be true you were agreeing with je Jeff's point Of like having more prongs or whatever
But I said I don't want to suck off a thumb
And you said well I do
That's what I like about this process
I'm saying the wooden one
The wooden one doesn't bother me
I've got no problem with it
Does a knife or a spoon need a thumb?
That's interesting
A knife thumb?
Like if a spoon had a thumb
You could potentially open a yogurt lid with it.
I wonder why we don't have fork knives.
I think you would cut your mouth.
Where you have like four knives in a row.
No, just to help you cut more.
Like imagine if they were spaced a little bit further apart
and you wanted to cut your steak,
you could cut four pieces at once.
Do you think, Jeff, that your background asverine makes you think about your hands as tools it might it absolutely
might that might be part of what part of this but i bet that but i have to draw on my experience
right did wolverine ever eat office clothes absolutely he must have at some absolutely
uh before we get too far from the fork i've been looking into what exactly it is and why it was created.
This guy, Kisuke Tsubaki Moto.
Nailed it.
I think.
Won second place in a Japanese design contest where he won $5,000 creating this fork with a thumb.
And when I put his stuff into Google Translate for what this is, a fork with the kindness
and warmth of a thumb.
You can enjoy your meal and you can support the food you put on it.
In modern times, it is easy to forget that food is grown, transported, and prepared by
humans in cities where it is difficult to see human involvement.
This fork gently teaches us that food culture is supported by human hands through eating.
If you can live your diet as a consumer, not just a consumer, you will be able to enjoy your daily life more deeply.
Jeff, do you think that's what you were getting at? Eric,
I feel like that's what I said almost
verbatim.
There you have it.
If you had
two of those hand forks
and you sort of turn them thumb inwards,
could you use the two thumbs as chopsticks?
Mmm.
That fucking Wolverine thing is so great.
What is happening there? Wolverine at a cookout with like hot dogs and steak He turned his claws into shish kebabs essentially
Imagine like the opening or ending of a Fast and Furious film but Wolverine is there
And the whole barbecue is on his hands
He's got shrimp. He's got sausages.
He's got steak.
I think what that guy said is interesting.
Thinking about your fingers as having personalities.
Oh, Eric.
Corn on the claws.
Corn on the claws.
It's just.
It's a three pronged cob holder.
Yeah, corn on the cob holder.
But
viewing your fingers
as having personality, do you think your thumb
is the like warm and kind
one of your hand? Do you think that's the
vibe of a thumb? Absolutely. Because I don't
I don't feel I feel like my thumb has a
Napoleon complex. I feel like my
thumb is kind of starting
on the other fingers. Yeah, it's sort of
I don't know. It's not fun. Easily
irritable. It's not great. I think
my little fingers probably a little mischievous
likes to get into trouble.
It's like the arrow of the hand. It's the
arrow of the hand. I think. Yeah, I think the
warm warm is somewhere between
the other three fingers.
What is that guy with a long thumb?
It's a long thumb.
I was thinking about
if a longer thumb is warmer.
Get out of here.
That is such an Eric photo.
I'm just curious.
How many knuckles are in there?
He's got regular normal knuckles.
Yeah.
It's a stretch.
Crazy.
He just long thumb.
Warm and inviting.
I look at that
and I think his dad was et
that was where my brain goes i bet he's the best hitchhiker in the world
oh well that was kind of the whole that was kind of the whole premise of even cowgirls get the
blues right i have no idea what that is i yeah i'm not familiar with that it's a book and movie
ah never heard of it hold on did tony scott direct it was stylized i don't know who directed
it did they enhance in that film you want another overly stylized movie is behind enemy lines
with owen wilson i don't know the last time anyone here has watched behind enemy lines but i was
looking at it i was watching clips of it recently there There you go. There's a lot of unnecessary editing. Thumb in that movie.
Oh, that is.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
That thumb is so big.
Oh, I think I just have it.
I found the new weird thing that I just don't like.
Yeah, there's her.
There's her.
Big thumbs.
You're against.
You're against thumbs.
They are warm and inviting.
You don't want to suck this off while you eat from a fork or whatever.
I'm just checking you can have a whole plate of spaghetti on that thumb
i'm never gonna stop sending images of the i can't get enough of these
oh god those are powerful thumbs yeah this is fucked up to send this to people
Those are powerful thumbs.
Yeah, this is fucked up to send this to people.
Is the premise that they have big hands in this movie?
No, she just has big thumbs.
Okay.
I read the book when I was like 19.
I'll be honest, I can't fucking... I can't remember what it was about.
She was a hitchhiker, though.
I remember that.
Just her story.
That makes sense
what a weird hmm yeah so think about it fork the fork thumb uh i would probably do it differently
than that brilliant designer with the warm feelings but i might uh if i can get into some
spot welding or something i might try to make up some prototypes i I would gladly buy your fork thumb product as well as the face logo.
Crazy straw.
But we got it.
This is a sad day, guys.
This is there is a market crash that has occurred.
Oh, no.
Not to be overly discussing McDonald's, but I placed an order.
I got some chicken nuggets and I went in when, you in. When you put in your order, you have to
click what sauces you want.
Did you do your hack?
Oh, no. That's a breakfast hack only.
This is a lunch order.
Get my nuggets, go into the sauces.
They brought back the BTS
sauces. They fucking brought them back.
They brought them back. The market is
flooded once again.
They've devalued the stash again they've devalued the stash
they've devalued the stack i have hundreds of bts sauces still useless you held on too long
oh i held on well there's never a peak in the market you can argue the market never existed
maybe there's some value maybe you have like a first run BTS source. I like that's optimistic thinking.
Maybe anything on it that says that it's the original.
There is a slight.
There is a slight difference between the two.
Ooh.
There is the name of the flavor in Korean on mine.
And it's just there's no Korean writing on the other one.
Oh.
So there's a slight difference.
Maybe you're right.
I think that's a big distinction actually
Do you think if I mail these into like PSA can I get them graded? Yeah?
Yeah, what are they not great? What would they send back? I mean they graze their limit. They grade just about anything
Yeah, I think that you should you should send probably four or five so that way they have they can compare and can arrange
Yeah, this is a nine and then they look at this other one they're like never
mind that one's a nine two you know what i mean so i'll look into doing that i was gonna make my
own but i'd like to get it professionally graded i don't trust my system i had a uh i was watching
sloppy joes the other day and i had a realization um I was going to see what you guys thought about this. I think you
could build an entire wardrobe
of clothes, of shirts
out of
purely out of spoofs of
ACDC logos
or possibly Metallica. You could do Metallica
as well. There are
so many. Those have to be the two
most ripped off logos of all time
well you could have 20 shirts in your closet that were all acd shirts acdc shirts that weren't acdc
shirts do you have an example sure uh abcd
oh yeah just the lightning bolt and the font style any word with an i in it yeah adhd abcd
i saw one you're right i saw one the other day here's one here's a great one for texas
taco oh what about hsbc here's a funny one that i had never seen before this is an acdc but tmnt
Here's a funny one that I had never seen before.
This is an ACDC.
TMNT.
Enjoy your cock.
That's Coca-Cola one.
Yeah, I don't know.
I just like, I was just thinking about it.
There's so fucking many and I see them all the time that I wonder if anybody has ever keyed in and decided like that's going to be their thing.
I'm going to have like Metallica shirts.
There aren't Metallica shirts.
They're Helvetica shirts. Or maybe you're,
maybe you're really religious and they're Jesus shirts.
Should we sell a shirt that just says a face,
but in like wingdings?
I like the idea.
I feel like we got to,
we got to get the crazy straw going first.
There's a Don Zimmer one.
Don Zimmer one. Sick. That D doesn't register at all as no it looks like it says own Zimmer oh
Dude speaking of Don Zimmer. I saw one of these in the wild
What is that? Oh, it's a Zimmer. That's a Zimmer. Where's your car seen a Zimmer?
I look freakishish and i looked to
the back of it it said zimmer on the back i don't know if that was like a brand or like a make of
car or whether the owner put zimmer on it but it just crazy but uh yeah i just googled zimmer and
it's like that's what it was i don't even know how to describe that would be like imagine what a
italian gangster batman villain would drive in Gotham.
And like a Tim Burton movie.
Zimmer Golden Spirit.
Dang.
Never heard of that.
Should we make that the official vehicle of the podcast?
The Zimmermobile?
Absolutely.
How much do you think those cars cost?
More than 10.
Ooh.
200 grand.
What if we put a picture of it on the obelisk?
I can't wait to find out what the name of that town is.
Look at the horns, dude.
What if we just put that on two raised posts and that will be our billboard?
Are we going to talk about the idea for what happens with the loser?
Because it's not just about the winner.
Or do you want to save that for the actual show?
I don't know.
Let's talk about the idea for the loser because I don't remember.
You really don't?
I don't remember it either.
No.
I will the second you say it.
We had an idea where the winner gets the billboard,
but the loser isn't the person who's eliminated first.
It's the person who loses in the finals, who comes in second place,
which is somehow, I don't know,
funny to me, like worse to get that close and lose.
That's fantastic.
Jeff bought those red boots,
the red meme boots.
Yeah, big red boots, that's right.
He bought these and was wearing them around his house
when he made us watch him play a video
game to get his equipment that's right so the loser of this competition when we do it the winner
gets the billboard in the like in the in the epicenter of the face universe uh and then the
loser who gets second place not third
through sixth or whatever has to walk around the mall in those boots for an hour yeah we have this
we have to be able to see him do it and everything go to go grocery shopping or it has to be out in
public in those dumb shoes and by the way wear pads because they rubbed my shins off after about 15 minutes. Dude, your shins were raw.
That was crazy.
I wanted to send this
picture also, but it fucked up and now it's good.
A little
Hasbulla.
See?
I love that as a loser punishment.
Isn't that great? I also love the idea
of it's who comes in second, not who
comes in last.
Those boots were so stupid I had to get them. Isn't that great? I also love the idea of it's who comes in second, not who comes in last. Yeah.
Those,
uh,
those boots were so stupid.
I had to get them and I'm glad we figured out something to do with them.
And they delivered,
they delivered on stupidness,
not just in how they look.
Oh,
it's a photo of you in the boots.
There I am.
That's how he was dressed with his little hat.
And then he made us watch him play video games.
And it really...
I don't know what it is.
You look like you're wearing plungers.
Like, more so than other people in the boots.
The way he was moving around was great.
They're not easy to walk in.
What was your mobility like in this?
Like, 75%.
Really?
Okay.
You wouldn't want to do a marathon in them.
You wouldn't want to do a marathon in them.
But you could definitely walk around the mall and eat at Sbarro Nick says it looks like you stole those off a giant caterpillar
What cat is there like a Mario character that has I'm seeing the same thing
Yeah, like you fucking beat up a goomba still I his shoes. I think they're designed, they're based off Astro Boy, right?
Ah.
Ah.
Doesn't he have rockets in him there?
Mega Man.
These do not have rockets.
I'd assume.
That's what I'm thinking of.
That caterpillar with the flower.
What was that, like a wiggler or something?
His name is Wiggler.
Yeah.
And then you jump on his head
and he goes all red.
And his flower falls off.
Something really funny about beating up a wiggler and stealing his shoes.
Hey, look, that's Pissed Wiggler.
Oh, Pissed Wiggler's so mad.
I mean, wouldn't you be mad if someone jumped on your head?
That's what the loser's gonna look like.
That's what second place is.
That's fantastic.
Ah, so I guess we'll do that
when we get around to
doing that yeah that
sounds great that thing
which we'll probably start
to fuck with after RTX I
made a I wasted my time
recently I made a dumb
mistake was that fucked
up I I went to the doctor
recently and like talk
about anxiety thing and
so I'm like I'm getting a
prescription for it and I
had to I didn't have to
but it was like hey do
you want to talk to
somebody about anxiety and I was like I've never have to. But it was like, hey, do you want to talk to somebody about anxiety?
And I was like, I've never done that professionally.
So, yeah, sure.
Why not?
I'll try it.
And so I agreed to this appointment where I was going to talk about it.
And then getting up to the appointment, I was feeling anxious because it's like I don't
really I don't know how to necessarily talk about it.
It's not something I've had a conversation with in that way.
Like a therapy thing.
Sort of.
Yeah.
Like a through the clinic, almost therapy type discussion. Yeah. I didn't really know. not something i've had a conversation with in that way like a therapy thing sort of yeah like a
through the clinic almost therapy type discussion yeah i didn't really know they're just like hey
do you want to do this while we also give you medication for it and i said why not um so i was
looking into it and i found i was like on the site and i'm on my phone and i found this other link
and i'm like going from web page to web page and I finally found it and they had all these modules it was like a 10 module process thing I thought oh this is great
like this is I assume what we'll go through on the call like we'll start the first module
and we'll talk about things if I can do this now I'll be prepared for going into that that
discussion and that will make me feel better so I'm reading through it and there's all these
exercises in it of like these are common trigger points or like things you could feel how many of
these do you feel writing that down and it's like think about how you feel in this scenario and list
all of these things and like some of them are like heavier emotional questions and then at the end
there is this giant like sheet thing i had to print out, almost like a school assignment of like spider web type feeling things of like cause and effect and all that shit.
So I did all this work and I organized it and then a few days pass and it's like five minutes before I'm going to have my call.
And I think, oh, I should I should pull up all that stuff.
And also, I don't even remember what the name of that organization was.
I should have that as well.
So I can direct the conversation to be like, oh, yeah, I was on the site.
I found these these things and I prepared for this.
So I'm looking around and there's nothing immediately on the form for it at the top
or anything.
There's not like a logo or a company name.
And so scrolling through and I eventually found a block of text
and I'm reading I'm like oh this is great this is what it is and I'm reading
the address of the thing and it's like oh yeah I remember those letters that's
exactly it and I'm continuing to read the domain and I realized it ends in dot
au and I think that can't be correct and so I click it and it takes me to an Australian website I
don't know how I got there I ended up on a random Australian anxiety support site and I did their
entire first module for no reason didn't come up once during the call had nothing to do with
anything completely irrelevant I wasted like an hour doing a module for something that had
nothing to do with what i was doing did you find it helpful in any way not necessarily because it
was a lot of the setup to what would then be helpful it was a lot of the things to discuss
on that how did you i don't know i was on my phone, and I clicked one thing, and I couldn't, like, I just was going from site to site,
and that's where I ended up, and it seemed to fit.
And so I did it, but it was not relevant in any way.
So you were expecting to go into this thing and be like,
yeah, I've studied all the material.
I thought that I was going to get a leg up and be like,
oh, I'm already ready for module two.
I thought I was going to impress them. Be like, nah, like nah no i wrote everything down i got all the answers for you instead i was
directed to anxietycanada.ca which makes a lot more sense but was not a site that i had explored
previous was any of the examples did it give any like australian hints looking back on it no
no i would have if there was like a tim tam
somewhere yeah in the document boomerang if there was any mention of vegemite are you concerned
about spreading vegemite the public's pay i would have got it i would have been like wait a second
there was when you went through your canadian site did you find any similarities between the
material i haven't uh gone through this just like yes Oh, you're probably exhausted from doing the other module. Yeah, take a break. Yeah, I need to
Back up to start a whole new plan. I just love the idea of you only being being able to handle Australian anxiety
I
Got my hands. I got a real control if we ever go to Australiaralia oh boy i'm ready i've studied for this
yeah don't don't think of it as wasting your time think of it as being
super fucking prepared for a very unlikely eventuality oh that's really funny
i felt real dumb I did all that work.
Oh, man.
That's amazing.
Yeah.
Don't feel bad, dude.
I feel dumb all the time.
Like, 22 out of 24 hours a day, I feel stupid.
There's 164 episodes of dumb here.
There's 163, maybe?
Yeah, I wonder if we've had an episode without any dumb in it.
No.
Oh, 0% chance of that happening.
I saw a bunch of comment leavers discussing our episodes and how accessible they are to a new audience and stuff.
And they were actually referring to some episodes.
It's like, yeah, this is a good beginner episode.
This one's intermediate.
This one's expert.
Ranking them, how deep into the nothing lore they were. And I love that our podcast can be ranked like intermediate. This one's an expert. Like ranking them, like how deep into the nothing law they were.
And I love that our podcast can be ranked like that.
Oh, speaking of something to love about our podcast,
did you guys see, you know,
we had that conversation about school songs.
Did you guys see the user that,
not user,
did you guys see the community member
that made the Pride of F*** Face song?
No.
There's a Pride of F*** Face song?
Yeah, you should.
I know we need to wrap up,
but you guys should listen to this.
Maybe, Nick, you can play it in the episode or something.
We'll get permission from the kid.
Okay.
Let's listen to this.
All right, listen to it now.

And if you know the lyrics, leave a comment, sing along.
Or just raise a laugh, you're grown too, Ben.
You can... That's fantastic now that would be great to sing yeah like everyone's grown sheep going off at the
same time i love it oh so there you go that was uh at least it was posted by someone named soup
taker on reddit uh i assume that's the person that made it so good uh brilliant the
brilliant lyrics uh just a beautiful voice like what a talented musician very current too very
client side reference very current and very like yeah just like just nailed it perfect execution
so i was blown away by that i wanted to make sure you guys saw it too i love that once again the community
proves to be way more talented than us oh by miles as always i enjoyed the blind side because it is
emerging in ways that i didn't even anticipate where when we recorded our two drafts jeff was
convinced the blind side was coming because there was two of them like we're doing drafts on a
monday i hadn't heard of one of the two drafts we're gonna do until the text conversation like it all seemed fucking just sketchy as as all hell and i was
mad at myself the whole time for introducing this back into my life but then we just did the drafts
i had fun in the last two drafts i did too they're great drafts did you feel old like did
did make you feel old in any way looking back at commercials from your childhood yes that was a weird side product for me like i remember being a little kid and hearing my mom
describe of like for a nickel we got 15 popcorns and six bags of candy and just be like oh that
feels old as shit that was a long time ago and then seeing commercials from like the late 90s where
kfc is selling 13 a 13 piece bucket for 13 and just being like holy what 13 dollars inflation
in your lifetime yeah i'm seeing inflation and it's it's upsetting i've turned into that is my
theater thing of the candy and like the popcorn. That is my nickel story.
Chicken has fucking gone up astronomically.
I always feel old when like people I grew up watching or listening to are like married to people younger than me.
Like Britney Spears' husband was like born in 1994.
That makes me feel old as shit.
I always, well, I just had this happen the other day, actually.
I'm pretty...
Once you get up to my advanced age,
you're acutely aware of how old you are at all times.
And you just see it constantly.
But I got surprised with it the other day.
I was thinking about when I was in high school. I was telling a story
to somebody. I was thinking about when I was in high school and how
I used to drive around.
When I turned 16, I got my license.
I was gone every second of the day that I could be.
And I would just drive around in my car
and listen to CDs from 7 p.m. until 11 p.m.
or whenever my parents made me come home.
And I would just drive through neighborhoods
by myself just to be away.
And I was thinking about that,
and I was like, how the fuck did I afford all that gas?
I blew through a lot of gas.
Gas is like four bucks a gallon
and then i was like how much did i make back then and i was i was working at as a tool repair man
and i was making like four dollars and 65 cents an hour i think that was what uh i think that was
what minimum wage was and i was like damn i was making like i was making like a gallon an hour
and then i and then i was like oh yeah gas was like 72 cents when i was in high school it was
almost fucking free i could fill up my i could fill up my entire car for like 11 dollars
when I was in high school and that made me feel very old that's crazy I guess is it yeah well no
I'm just thinking about that was the that was the I nobody has anything left to talk about I'll just
throw out of that's crazy moment no no I was I kept saying write oh that's what I'm saying it's happening in front of me I always used to fit like this I guess you didn't
have a little like Freddy what were those things Freddo frogs or something
the fuck Freddo frogs yeah I feel like that's familiar no they were always like
16 P or something and then watching the price of those go up guy didn't have a
car I didn't write it, the little chockeys.
Yeah, the little chocolate.
Oh, yeah, Freddo.
They don't have that in America, but I've seen it in England.
They usually
have the price on the packet, which I think is
that's because I didn't have a car.
That's my gas thing.
That's your gas?
The price of Freddo.
I think they were like 15p
when I was a kid
Always the cheapest chocolate to get
What's
Crazy
As far as feeling old goes
I don't think there are people
Like if someone was like 15 now
They don't even really have commercials
In the way that we experience them
Nobody watches TV now
I'm essentially The cut off for when you could do that have commercials and the way that we experience them no not at all nobody watches tv now like
it's i'm essentially the cutoff for when you could do that i have a 17 year old daughter who doesn't
know what tv is in the in the sense that i that i know what it is like cable means nothing to her
satellite means nothing to her broad like over the air broadcast means nothing like tv to millie
is youtube and netflix and hulu and whatever other streaming
service and yeah yeah it's like the world is totally different yeah i don't even know what
like what the comparable would be for like what would that i just don't think it exists well like
a live event maybe yeah like people still want to watch live sports don't they otherwise it's
irrelevant none of my friends just me and Eric.
Yeah if a sport isn't live
I'm not
probably going to watch it.
There's no way.
So even if
Nick is the same.
Even if you were at work
when the game was on
and then you've recorded it
you're coming home
it was like four hours ago
you don't know the result
is it less exciting for you?
You're posing a scenario
that I've never done
where it's recording sports.
Oh.
What if it was the World Cup final?
I do that.
I record Celtics games if I can't watch them live so that I can catch up.
And I try to avoid the scores.
My sport is baseball.
They play 162 of them.
I don't need to make sure I watch every one.
There was one going on earlier today, like a Padres game.
And I don't...
I'll keep an eye on the score but I I don't need
to watch 100% of the games during the season it'll make me insane if I do that what if there were just
40 games I mean I I guess like an NFL season like yeah what like yeah I mean like but but even then
even when I was a Chargers fan there's 16 games or were and uh if I missed one it would be like
I'll keep an eye on the score and hopefully
we won but i'm not gonna go back i have endless access to every highlight that i would ever need
and i don't need to sit there and watch every play it's it's fun live but i just can't i can't do it
so if you if the if the us was in the world cup right, and you had to do like a break shit stream,
would you just watch it there and then on the stream?
No, I think I would put work first
because I'm pretty dedicated to this show.
What if it hadn't happened since 1966 or whatever?
Well, I mean, I think I'm pretty dedicated to this show
and the people in it.
And so I think I would put your guys' feelings first and really just try to give, and the fans.
I would try to put the fans first and really just give them the most of me that I could possibly give.
You're a man of the people.
Oh, 100%.
I think if there's one thing you could say about me, it's that.
I guess it was only the Euros.
It wasn't the World Cup.
I actually will sometimes when I'm watching live sports,
which is pretty often,
I'll just pause for the first 10 minutes of the game
or 15 minutes of the game
just to let Buffer queue up
so I can fast forward through commercials.
That's fair.
Because I'll be caught up with the game by halftime.
You know? Right. Yeah. The be caught up with the game by halftime, you know?
Right.
Yeah.
The thing that you want the experience of like live and in the moment,
that's sort of the problem.
Even if I don't know the result,
I feel like if something truly insane happened,
I would have heard about it in some way.
Well, that's the thing.
The fact I didn't means nothing did.
That was always the thing with me when I lived in England
for watching the Euros or watching the World Cup
is that you couldn't save it for later if you were at home because well most of us lived in like terraces or semi
detached houses and you could hear people screaming through the walls you'd be like oh damn
and also like when you can fast forward it's really tough for me to not be like why don't
I just see how this went like why don't I just fast forward to the end if we lost do I really want to watch
three hours of us losing? Oh trust me dude
Celtics are down by 17 in the
second quarter I'm fast forwarding through most
of it until I start to see that number
change
I don't need to watch
I don't need to watch us lose for no reason
by 15 points for the
fucking 10 billionth time in the last four years
So now that we've done two of these, are we
in a prime blindside position,
Eric? Are those okay?
Yeah, we could be at this point.
We are probably going to likely miss next
week, but we can try.
We'll see. But we do need to end this
one in order for any of that to occur.
Why are we missing next week? If we keep this going,
there's no blindsides.
We have RTX next week.
Is it on Thursday?
I have a lot of prep to do on Thursday.
All right.
You need to change the day, Eric.
I'm available.
He said it.
It was weirdly smug when he said that, and I don't like it.
I agree.
But Eric did say earlier, Gavin, that if we wanted to do one next week, Wednesday might be a good day to do it.
Yes.
It is up to you guys. If we do want to do that, you just let me know, and we can get it on the schedule, Wednesday might be a good day to do it. Yes, it is up to you guys.
If we do want to do that,
you just let me know and we can get it on the schedule
and we can aim for it.
Okay.
I don't like the way he said okay.
I don't like that either.
Yeah.
It's not just me, right?
Gavin, you could have gotten out of here unscathed
and now it's, I don't know what's happening.
What's going on with you, Gavin?
What's with that okay?
It was like 60% saying okay and 40% looking at my calendar.
And I just feel like overall it was fine.
But maybe some of the energy went into the eyes instead of the mouth.
Oh.
Some of the energy.
Okay.
All right.
We need to wrap this up.
We're getting insane.
Like boba eyes?
Like little hops?
Little hops.
Well, there you have it.
You've listened to another episode of the F*** Face Podcast.
We hope you liked it and had a good time.
And if you did, maybe go out and celebrate.
Get you a nice, refreshing eyeball tea and suck down those dog eyes
and think about them and how painful it was for them to be taken out of their eyes
while they were alive just so that you could eat a refreshing drink.
Because I hear that if you remove the eyes after the dog dies,
it doesn't taste quite as sweet.
We'll see you next week.
Jesus.
Hey, guys.
Major League Fan Jack here with a look at next week's episode of F*** Face.
Panton wants to play guitar.
That's just a bad fork.
It's an RTX roundup.
Bootleg Gerblers are out in the wild.
It's a microwave pizza avalanche. How was Key West? And once again,
Andrew does not eat the pencil. All that and more on next week's episode of F*** Face. We'll see you next time.
