Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a Rooster Teeth production. I forgot about that. We talked about gulping a scarlet. We talked about waffles. We talked about best fast food burger. We talked about our drafts. We talked about
Starting point is 00:00:37 Gavin's ice and apple, which is because he had the huffing of the ice and the eating of the apple. We talked about pancake lengths. And then we screamed about backs. The titles.
Starting point is 00:00:50 Oh, no, I didn't measure my back. Oh, no, I know. I forgot something. Sleeping on ice. And I've been in the lab is those are the titles of for the previous episode. So you have them. I went to a coffee shop today
Starting point is 00:01:04 and I compiled all my notes and I have 16 items for today. Oh, that's cool. Because Andrew said, I don't know how these are going to go because I really don't have much. Well, I got I got too much. So I'm sure we won't get to most of it, but I'm coming in loaded. Loaded. Jeff's loaded with ideas. Yeah, I'm pregnant with creativity creativity hello and welcome to another episode
Starting point is 00:01:27 of the face podcast my name is Jeff Ramsey and with me as always Andrew Panton and Gabby Gab free uh this is episode 153 hello hello how's everybody doing I'm good how are you yeah hey Eric wants to take a guess at something. I think Nick is wearing the mask today. Oh, shit. Really? You're going for an official guess? One of the year?
Starting point is 00:01:52 That is my official guess. I just, I heard it sounded, I think it sounded a little muffled. I could be distance. So I will say it could be distance, but I feel like we haven't guessed, and I feel like he's trying to be a sneaky monkey, and I feel like today is the day. Okay. Ooh, you're wrong. God damn it! Wow.
Starting point is 00:02:13 So you can't guess until we've all guessed. Yeah. That's it. Okay. We got four other, three other shots at this. Can we also just check, Nick, that you haven't done it yet, and we haven't and we just didn't realize? Oh, well, that's an interesting question, Gavin. Because I may have, in fact, been in the mask to this point.
Starting point is 00:02:34 I knew it. Wait, no, this is a very confusing thing. This is like a me thing that I've done. Have you or have you not? Because are we just going to continue to guess? I did it. He did it. we missed it here that's so disappointing you serious that's you did it oh the post condor man one what number was that uh what number 149 i think it was 149 yeah i'm so annoyed i am so upset
Starting point is 00:03:15 we suck oh my god that's awesome we are so bad at this. That's so good. He's taking a picture in front of the newspaper and the basketball game. It was the start of March Madness. I had to be sure.
Starting point is 00:03:37 Oh man. So how psyched were you when the episode ended and no one asked? Oh, I was so, because people actually did call it out in some of the comments. I was like, oh god. You know, like during the episode ended and no one asked oh i was so because people actually did call it out in some of the comments i was like oh god oh god you know like during the episode i thought yeah a couple of people were like nick sounded muffled that one and i did no and i thought for sure because i think at one point you called out for something for me gavin and i was like oh shit so i like opened the map ever so slightly to go hello That has really bummed me out. You've done amazing there, Nick.
Starting point is 00:04:08 I just didn't ever consider that you'd be wearing glasses under there. Me neither. Wait a second. You are wearing glasses under there. That's not standard. I've never thought about that. We've been doing face jam forever, and I've never thought about you wearing glasses under there. Do you normally wear glasses?
Starting point is 00:04:26 I do when I'm not wearing contacts. And so since I was home that day, I just wore glasses. They are basketball and news glasses. It's so I can read and see. The photo view of the newspaper is the funniest thing I've ever seen. I love that the equivalent of that is the picture of the news website. There's no actual newspaper. I know, it's fucking great.
Starting point is 00:04:51 So what does this mean? Do we do it again? I don't know. I would say that's one nil to Nick. That's true. Yeah. And it resets all our guesses. Sadly, the guess reset had actually already occurred.
Starting point is 00:05:04 So, Eric, you still used your new guess. I still don't get a guess? I think you've technically used it. I feel so dumb. Jeff, Gavin and I standing in front guarding the door with our bullet just waiting and it already ended a month ago.
Starting point is 00:05:20 We need to be way more aggressive in firing. I don't even feel like I played. I just lost a game I didn't even play. I never even started. Did you ever throw out a guess? No. What was the criteria?
Starting point is 00:05:35 Was it six months? Yeah, until the end of the year, right? Until the end of the year. Okay, so from here to the end of the year. I guess it gets slightly easier for us because there's less. Or does it just start in 2024? Well, he might have just won 2023 and that's it. So we're done.
Starting point is 00:05:53 It's April. We're going to wait. We're going to wait. No, that makes sense. If you don't, if you don't win, if you lose the Super Bowl, you don't just get to call for another Super Bowl a month later. So you can try. You got to wait. Did you think guessing if Nick is wearing a monkey mask is the Super Bowl, you don't just get to call for another Super Bowl a month later. So you can try again.
Starting point is 00:06:05 You got to wait a year. Did you think guessing if Nick is wearing a monkey mask is the Super Bowl to us? I think it's our Super Bowl. Yeah. I think I need redemption. I don't think that's our Super Bowl. Nick won the season. He did great.
Starting point is 00:06:22 We need to figure out how many bullets we have. Can we just fire one at a time? We need to work this out. We need to get together for the next season of this here's what we should do right we have to prepare yeah and there's four of us so we should each focus on a quarter right oh and then it's on okay it's on us to be on top of our game for that quarter for those 12 recordings. I like that idea a lot. That's great. Okay. So I'm happy to take Q1 2024. I'll take Q2. I'll take Q2.
Starting point is 00:06:52 Okay. Andrew, do you want Q3 or do you want Q4? I mean, I might as well take Q4. I feel like neither of us are going to, our shots aren't going to matter by Q3 or Q4. We're kind of out of the game already. Q4's 18 months away. 18 months from now. Put me in Q4.
Starting point is 00:07:05 Also, this doesn't make any sense because if we all only get one guess, if Jeff guesses in, wait Gavin, are you Q1? Yeah. So if you guess the first week of February and then he wears it the last week of February, are none of us going to guess it? Well, let's look. We're all guessing. We're all in control.
Starting point is 00:07:26 I'm just gonna say, I'm gonna have an extra ear out in Q1. We can all guess whenever. Okay. Yeah, you're paying misunderstood. I thought we had zones. No, it's like your zone to pay special attention to. Okay. I'm marking him, but feel anyone can tackle him, you know?
Starting point is 00:07:41 Okay. Anyone can tackle him. So if I blow my load sort of mid q1 and there's still four weeks left anyone can anyone can still go okay well nick congratulations on apparently winning our super i can't believe that perfect season thank you yeah way to go man wow that is really now this is good though because now we have 2024 content that we have to get to. Eric? Yeah. Eric?
Starting point is 00:08:09 Yep. Can we get a trophy made to present to Nick? Yeah. Yeah. Thank you. Let me note that. I'll get a monkey trophy. Do we want it to be a monkey?
Starting point is 00:08:20 I think so. Okay. Okay. I'm putting it on the list. Or a trophy of a baseball player or a bowler or something that we could put a tiny little monkey hat on. Oh, okay. Okay. Oh, I like that idea.
Starting point is 00:08:33 I think whatever it is, it should have a little plaque that we can engrave every year. And then it just gets moved back and forth. Yeah. Like the Stanley Cup almost. Yeah, exactly like the Stanley Cup. That's brilliant. Okay. I like the idea of it having like a hat that's like removable.
Starting point is 00:08:47 So if Nick gets it, he gets the mask on it. And if we get it, we get a mask list. Oh, wow. Or the mask is just under our foot. Yeah. That's a great idea. Stepping on the mask? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:59 Yeah. And then I think that every year at RTX, it could be in a trophy cabinet. Okay. At the museum. We could put it in the museum. Okay. Wow, we really nailed down these rules. I'm excited about next year now.
Starting point is 00:09:11 This is great. This is something I feel like everyone forgot, so I guess I'm really excited for 2024. I do think that- My 18-month-from-now window is when I'm paying special attention to when he's wearing a mask. window when I'm paying special attention to when he's wearing a mask. I,
Starting point is 00:09:31 I think that Nick has to announce his win at the end of the recording though. Oh, interesting. So I like that idea. After the final sign off from Jeff, Nick comes in and says, I was wearing the mask because then our reaction will be on camera. Now let,
Starting point is 00:09:42 let me, let me, let me pause at this. If it starts 2024 and we record the first our first episode of 2024 let's just say that we record the first week of january and none of us want to make that guess and nick says i did it i win are we just rolling on to 2025 yeah based on these rules yeah i think that's how professional sports works man but i will say there's gonna be a hell of a lot of scrutiny the first recording of 2024
Starting point is 00:10:11 my ears peeled there's gonna be a let's interview nick section every episode wow okay well there nick congratulations uh we'll be working on your trophy imminently and then we'll Wow. Okay. Well, Nick, congratulations. We'll be working on your trophy imminently, and then we'll give it to you in a special ceremony. Really going to need to lean in on the audience to remind us when it's close to 2024 to do this in the exact same way you guys did with the fireplace video, where you go, hey, weren't they supposed to put out a fireplace video
Starting point is 00:10:43 in like two weeks? And we went, oh, fuck. Because there's every chance we would forget to guess the entire year and also Nick might just forget to wear it the whole year too. Oh, absolutely. Yes, it's definitely needed.
Starting point is 00:10:53 It's definitely a possibility. I mean, Nick, Nick could go the whole year and never wear it and win. Oh. I could win by default. Oh. No, I think that's a DQ.
Starting point is 00:11:02 No, I think he has to wear it. He has to wear it in one episode. No, hang on. Because if I guess the first, let's just say four weeks in a row, we make our guesses and Nick is not wearing the mask in those four. Like we just happened to guess the first four weeks. No, then he has to wear a mask the next episode to officially be declared the winner. But then we can't guess it, so he would win by default.
Starting point is 00:11:26 Nobody has to wear it once. He has to do it once. He's got to wear it. What it is is that no one should blow their final guess if half the year is left. Yeah. Well, also, if he never wears it, then he could just time a set.
Starting point is 00:11:38 You can't reward an activity of the no mask. That's too much of a counter. I think it has to. He has to wear it once. What if it was quarterly? No, this is crazy. No, Andrew, that's not how professional sports work. If every quarter is a season,
Starting point is 00:11:55 if you view quarters as a season, it's an opportunity. You should do it sooner rather than later. It's already complicated. Here's what we'll do. We'll do it every year, but every four years, there'll be a World Cup, and then it can potentially happen twice that year.
Starting point is 00:12:11 I like that. That's what the World Cup is to you? You do it twice? You do a bonus. Well, the World Cup is like a separate bowl, isn't it? It's like a separate thing to win in the same, and it happens the same year as a Super Bowl. It's true. It's not the same thing to win in the same. And it happens the same year as a Super Bowl. Mm hmm.
Starting point is 00:12:26 It's true. Same sport. What about. Can we go to three? Maybe what if the Olympics are on? Can we add the Olympics into this event of categories? We got the World Cup Super Bowl. We still have. We still have a whole separate Olympics thing we got to do.
Starting point is 00:12:38 Yeah. Let's not do one. Let's not complicate our professional. Let's not. Let's not cross contaminate our leagues. I just keep looking at this one picture of Nick in front of the San Diego State game that is cracking me up. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:12:51 You're incredibly good at taking selfies and knowing where you're in time. They're really well-framed. It's a learned skill. Let me tell you. Oh, man. Well, better luck next year, guys. Better luck next year. Back to the drawing board. Let me tell you. Oh, man. Well, all right. Well, better luck next year, guys. Better luck next year.
Starting point is 00:13:08 Back to the drawing board. I'm so disappointed. Are you guys going to do any kind of like any kind of ear training in the offseason? Well, I'm going to be definitely listening to that episode and seeing what it sounds like. Exactly. Yeah. I feel the worst because, like, Gavin, you don't do pleasantries.
Starting point is 00:13:26 I would have had pleasantries with Nick that day. I would have had more of an opportunity. Well, I assume he didn't attend pleasantries in the mosque. I think I did. Are you serious? I think I committed to the bit. And Andrew, you didn't. Well, I mean, none of us did.
Starting point is 00:13:42 Anybody that was at pleasantries didn't catch it. But you always have the most pleasantries with Nick. Oh, no, it depends. It doesn't not necessarily true. Sometimes Eric joins in first. Oh, Eric wasn't there that day. Eric wasn't there. That's a tough one.
Starting point is 00:13:58 That's wow, man. That puts a lot of weight. TQ'd myself automatically. That's rough. That's hard. Because I would have known. I think I would have heard it and I would have gone, yo, this guy's wearing this mask.
Starting point is 00:14:08 How does it feel to have missed the big game? It feels terrible. And then to show up on a different day where the game is not being played, only to lose and have to wait a year to play again. Eric couldn't attend the game. I was on the wrong field the entire time thinking I was ready.
Starting point is 00:14:26 That's like not not even shooting. I feel like I didn't even participate. Losing a game you never played in is very funny. That is true. This is truly, I think, the definition of this show. That's really something. That's crazy. I can't believe we lost already fuck oh wow i really thought he was gonna i thought he
Starting point is 00:14:49 was gonna like put a reminder in his phone like like do this in september or something after we'd long long yeah about it but no i thought it would be way later in the year is the rock draft out by the time this comes out? This will be out May 10th. Yeah, we can put out the rock draft at the time of this recording. I think we can do... I wanted to talk to you guys in between recordings on this, but we have Condor Man.
Starting point is 00:15:16 We have Rock Draft. We can have Rock Draft out by the time this comes out, yes. So if you want to talk about Rock Draft, go for it. We also have Mall Draft and Sloppy Joe's. We do, yes. And that's probably the order these are going to go in, but, go for it. We also have mall draft and sloppy joes. We do, yes.
Starting point is 00:15:25 And that's probably the order these are going to go in, but we can mix it up also. Do you want to say something about the rock draft, Gavin? Yeah, go for it, Gavin. Well, if that's the case, I have a clip. Okay. Oh, no. You have a clip?
Starting point is 00:15:39 Oh, no. Yeah, I got a clip. I hate whenever Gavin has a clip. So, first rock pick I picked. Can you see that? Rock candy. Good pick. I picked it because...
Starting point is 00:15:50 Oh, did you hit Eric there? I heard Eric say, good pick. Eric said, good pick. Let me wind down a little bit. That is a dog shit. Number one. Terrible. Not even a minute later, Eric has flipped.
Starting point is 00:16:05 Eric is now saying terrible pick. So let me defend myself and tell you why I'm right. I am trying to be, as a producer, supportive of ideas when they are brought out. Sounds like you're trying to be full of shit. And so what happens sometimes is a bad idea will come out and and initially i'll go i don't know about this fellas but you gotta be like hey rah rah let's do it but then you really think about it and when one of you starts dog piling on baby let's go for it because now i'm not alone however i will say i was absolutely turned later in the episode where after Gavin was going to pick Rock Candy, I was proven wrong.
Starting point is 00:16:54 And Rock Candy was absolutely a good pick. So you flipped twice. Absolutely. A hundred percent. Sometimes I think the first flip was me i was supporting i was being supportive just as like a knee-jerk reaction and then really just like okay i'm not gonna not gonna hammer this one and then you started getting hammered so i joined in the hammering but then but then as time makes fools of us all, as they say, as I was, time occurred and rock candy would have been chosen.
Starting point is 00:17:31 Yeah, it's like a weird thing, right? Where if Jeff wanted rock candy, that's where he had to take it. But that doesn't mean it's a good pick. Correct. Like they both just wanted a kicker in the first round. It seems like, and this is, I guess, why I feel this way. I don't think Andrew would ever take rock candy and i don't think i would either if they just aren't on the list of things that i think we would choose gavin as you said plainly throughout the recording you didn't understand what we were doing or
Starting point is 00:18:06 why your picks were bad or why Andrew was getting on you about it. So you were truly a wild card that I could not have anticipated. So that's why Rock Candy I wouldn't think would be so hot but then man, you proved me wrong. If you haven't listened to our
Starting point is 00:18:21 Rock Not Rock draft, make sure you do. It's probably one of the most combative pieces of content we've ever made. It's really something. And then we immediately roll into the most wholesome one, which probably isn't out yet. But yeah, look out for the mall draft as well. Yeah. Do you feel you understand the draft at this point, Gavin? You've now done three of them.
Starting point is 00:18:44 I don't think there's any need to ask me that right now. I'm getting it. You're getting it? Well, let's do a few more. Please let me know when you get it fully. I can't wait. I hope we do continue to do drafts. I don't know what the next one would be.
Starting point is 00:19:03 I don't think we've landed on anything yet, but it is a lot of fun. Yeah, they're really fun. They're great. Speaking of fun stuff we've done, this wasn't... I was telling them in Pleasantries, Gav, I have 16 things to talk about today.
Starting point is 00:19:17 I figure we won't get to 14 of them. But since we brought up the Rock Draft, I was thinking about how we're kind of in between movies right now. We've kind brought up the rock draft, I was thinking about how we're kind of in between movies right now. Like, we've kind of done the trilogy, the childhood trilogy. What? Of movies.
Starting point is 00:19:34 Oh, I see. Condor Man from my childhood, the monkey movie from yours. I didn't understand. Yeah, I got it. Get off the rock draft, stop being combative. That was weeks ago. And I was just thinking about all the other movies that I would like to do and stuff that'd be fun,
Starting point is 00:19:50 and I was kind of brainstorming a list of movies. And then it hit me, but none of it had DNA from the show in it where I felt like there was enough of a through line to make it make sense. And then it hit me, there was that period where I was telling you guys about the Dracula movie that I watched in high school
Starting point is 00:20:04 that I could never find, and then we finally identified it on the show. Would you guys ever want to watch Dracula AD 1972 with me? Yeah, I mean, why wouldn't I? Like, that would be fun, right? Yeah, that makes sense. It's a great movie. It's a great movie. Look at that poster.
Starting point is 00:20:18 So what year was it made? Probably 1972. It is 1972, yes. Okay. Peter Cushing. Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing. Yeah yes. Okay. Peter Cushing. Lee and Peter Cushing? Yeah, Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing. Peter Cushing was the first Doctor Who, wasn't he?
Starting point is 00:20:30 No. Wasn't he? I thought William Hart was first, don't you? That might have been him. Christopher Lee as Dracula sounds great. Peter Cushing. Who was the... God, I gotta look it up now.
Starting point is 00:20:42 First Doctor Who. So is this... I don't remember anything about this movie is this just a standard Dracula tale or like what is the the thing of Dracula AD after we watched it or after we identified it I watched it and really enjoyed it and was thinking I have remembered none of it I I really it completely left my mind after after I solved the mystery so I don't know I know I watched it like two years ago yeah there you go that's the first doctor who uh do you know what in that picture i'm pretty sure he's younger than bread pit really how old is he whoa people looked old back then really how old do you think he is how old was william i don't know when he played
Starting point is 00:21:30 the doctor if you were to look at that guy jeff just looking at his face what name would you give him if you didn't know his name does he look like anything to you here's the problem uh i watched that doctor era of doctor who religiously as a kid. So the first thing I think of when I see him is just that Doctor Who from my childhood. That's fair. If I didn't... He was 58. If I didn't,
Starting point is 00:21:52 I would think he was an evil snake oil salesman who was coming to town to steal money. He does have evil snake oil salesman vibes. That's very funny. He would be a part of the carnival in something Wicked This Way comes. Yeah, he would be in like a side story in Red Dead Redemption
Starting point is 00:22:11 that was memorable for how shitty the guy was. Absolutely. Side quest, yeah. Absolutely. 58, that's pretty old for, I'd say, I don't know, he looks 58-ish to me. Maybe I'd put him a little bit older.
Starting point is 00:22:23 But Brad Pitt's 59. I think just Brad Pitt looks great for his age as opposed to, I don't know. He looks 58-ish to me. Maybe I'd put him a little bit older. But Brad Pitt's 59. I think just Brad Pitt looks great for his age, as opposed to, I don't think this guy looks bad for 58. He absolutely looks bad for 58. He looks about 72 there. Yeah. I assume he's a wig and he's aged up.
Starting point is 00:22:38 He looks like he's on a day trip out from the home. Like the retirement home. I feel like the black and white is trip out from the home. Like the retirement home. I feel like the black and white is really hurting him as well. It's doing him no justice. I think it was filmed in black and white. Somebody black and white that picture of Brad Pitt and see if it makes a difference.
Starting point is 00:22:58 I think it will. I have a feeling it will. I think you'll look much older. I disagree. Look at that. Yeah, no. I'm sorry. You said look. I disagree. Look at that. What era Brad Pitt is that? You said look at that as if you were right. I said look at that because it's the size of a fucking postage stamp. I had to zoom in.
Starting point is 00:23:15 Also, he's like 10 years younger than that. That's not a comparable. I don't know. You're just sending me black and white photos of Brad Pitt with no context to how old he is. This is doing nothing. That might be an older Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt has taken a lot of black and white photos
Starting point is 00:23:34 is what I'm learning. Yeah, he's a movie star. That looks like a schemer right there. That's like, ooh, I got something planned. That looks like a guy trying to listen and see if someone's inside a mask that's gonna that's me q1 of next year that's it that's i don't i don't saying that's you is maybe a little strong i love that oh yeah that's your brad pitt that's me listening to see if Nick is wearing a monkey mask.
Starting point is 00:24:09 So vampire Dracula AD 1972. I would definitely watch that. Yeah, absolutely. I think it'd be fun. We don't have to put it on the, we don't have to do it tomorrow or anything, but I think it'd be fun. Speaking of, the last thing we did together,
Starting point is 00:24:23 I think, was the Sloppy Joe's, was the Sloppy Joe's bingo, right? Yes. Which I guess won't be out at this point or maybe I don't know. I feel like it's a higher priority than the other stuff. Okay. I mean, we can put it out next. What's coming out this week that's not face?
Starting point is 00:24:39 Well, nothing. I mean, this is the week that we're recording, so nothing is coming out. We're done with does it do? Yeah, we should, so nothing is coming out this week. Yeah, we're done with Does It Do. Yeah. We should start putting up one of these every week. Okay. Well, tomorrow's Friday, so it's not coming out tomorrow. So next week.
Starting point is 00:24:54 Yeah, no, I got you for next week, man. Yeah. So that's what we need to talk about, is figuring that out. 100%. I don't want to push Condor Man forever or The Rock or The Maldraps. I just feel like we're in our slop era right now, you know? I feel like Sloppy Joe's is done and can come out next week and then we can have the rock draft
Starting point is 00:25:10 the week after yeah that's how it feels to me does it put does it still come out before this episode yes okay can we just talk about how much fun it was and i don't know i had a really nice time hanging out with you guys it was fun i've played it independently twice since have you how did it go uh it went pretty well i wanted to see what slop o'clock was really like so i did it at friday night at like 11 30 ish until maybe like one and how did it compare uh i still haven't seen anyone in a wheelchair which i'm real mad about that's crazy get that's crazy that's so easy it's funny trying to like as you do it it's so we all did it together for the first time outside of jeff and you had such a handle on everything jeff where i feel like we were all like holy shit there is 16 different things that can happen and i'm trying to watch all of it simultaneously and
Starting point is 00:26:03 it's kind of hard to wrap your head around doing it two more times you get such a better perspective on like what you're looking for and it becomes even more fun i think as you do it more it was a lot of fun i enjoyed it i started to proof the uh the sloppy joe's video and as jeff is talking about looking out for pink taxis like two seconds before one went by and no one noticed. I think that's a great part of that content is the stuff that we're just going to completely miss that maybe you like shifts the game in some way. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:35 I think it's something that, uh, the old achievement hunter audience never seemed to pick up on with us at least is that it's impossible to talk and pay attention in equal measure at the same time something's gonna slip right like you're gonna miss something in a video game you're gonna miss something in the live stream if you're paying attention to trying to be entertaining or point stuff out um but you're right like the more you do it the the better you're able to parse everything it's kind of like how they talk about how like when an NBA player hits that elite level
Starting point is 00:27:02 the game slows down for them. Like sloppy Joe's really Duval street really slows down at some point. Yeah. That's a great way to play. I feel like you can take, take it all in. It does. I feel like I'm getting a grasp on the playbook and it gets exciting when you have different cards.
Starting point is 00:27:17 Cause you made like nine cards and like, ah, shit, I don't have this in this one. I don't know if I have a full bingo from like five hours of watching from my original card yet. I think I'm missing it. Well, wheelchair. I still definitely don't have this in this one i don't know if i have a full bingo from like five hours of watching from my original card yet i think i'm missing it well wheelchair i still definitely don't have there might be another one i'm missing i mean it's like that's some some days that's how it goes you know there was one night i did it where i filled my card and like that's great yeah have
Starting point is 00:27:38 you seen the the wheelbarrow with beer in it is that a thing that was a wheel barrel barrow i did that again didn't i that was the thing we did before fuck i haven't learned wheelbarrow i ain't learned that slip twice no but it's a wheelbarrow sounds so bad it's a wheelbarrow wheelbarrow sounds a wheelbarrow of beer sounds way more fun than the wheelbarrow of beer but anyway there was a guy that had a wheelbarrow filled with beer and he kept walking up and down past sloppy joe's he did it like twice and i just thought it was such a weird thing to see and then like 15 minutes after he did it a security guy walked up to another security guy was like did you see the wheelbarrow guy with beer like we're trying to track that guy down I think he was just selling beer independently on the street
Starting point is 00:28:28 nobody they're like where is he and then like 15 minutes after that I saw him walk down the street completely empty it was totally empty and nobody saw him once again just walk by I was like get away escape it's so much fun you create these narratives when you watch around like what's happening. It is funny because it's like you're watching a story that you're you feel you realize you're the only audience. Yes. And it makes it feel so much more. I don't know. Like you're like, I'm I'm recording this happening in history right now.
Starting point is 00:28:59 I'm the only person that's paying attention to this. Yeah. Like when you watch a TV show, if loss doesn't end in a way I like, I can be mad at Damon Lindelof. If I never see the wheelbarrow guy again, I just, there's nothing I can do. Like I'm just upset with the world. There's no guarantee of any resolution
Starting point is 00:29:16 to any of these narratives, which makes them feel like there's a higher stake almost in them and my investment of like, I need to see how this plays out. Is someone going to arrest him? I really hope we do it again. I would be insane if we didn't.
Starting point is 00:29:32 I'm doing it all the time at home anyway. Are we just going to see if the people like it and then do more? I think they will, but we should. Yeah, probably. Regardless, I'm going to be playing it independently i'm excited like it is one of those things where you just you catch yourself when you're bored at home
Starting point is 00:29:47 you're like let me pop down over to sloppy joe's and see if i can do a quick bingo yeah i haven't had that but slop o'clock i'm excited to go on other days like i i tried to do it last night but i couldn't get the the live stream to work it was down yesterday i don't know if it's back up it was down for it's the thing i thought it was rare for it to go down. Apparently, it goes down like once a week. Yeah. It goes down so much now that it no longer scares me when it goes down. I'm like, alright, it'll be back
Starting point is 00:30:14 up eventually. In your experience, what do you think is the least sloppy day? Oh. There's a base level of slop. Yeah, there's always some. That place, for sure. I'd say Tuesday. Tuesday's a little... Because Monday, it's always some. That place, for sure. I'd say Tuesday. Tuesday's a little... Because, like, Monday, it's like... There's some energy to Monday.
Starting point is 00:30:30 There's a... Tuesday's kind of a dud. Wednesday is like hump day. People are excited to drink. Thursday, it's close to the weekend. Friday is prime slop. Saturday is... It's like double prime slop.
Starting point is 00:30:43 And then Sunday, there's the people... There's a pretty large percentage of people that had so much fun on Friday and Saturday, they want to continue it into the last day of the weekend before they have to go back to their miserable lives wherever they live. And so Sundays are pretty good too, you know? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:56 I'm excited. I need to try. I'll try Tuesday. I'll see what that's like. Yeah. I want to see what the least sloppy of the Sloppy Joes, how that plays, how that feels. It's a whole different vibe if you least sloppy of the sloppy Joes how that plays. How that feels. It's a whole different vibe
Starting point is 00:31:08 if you try to play it in the daytime for sure. I've been thinking about actually trying to come up with like daytime slops and make a whole different board for it because it's like a whole different animal. Clean Joes.

Starting point is 00:31:59 I inadvertently discovered a hack yesterday. Oh, man. This is a great episode. I think this more akin to andrew's original hack okay the mcdonald's thing which means i'll approve so i had a and this is not something i did but i had the option to try and do but i really wanted to go home i went to alabama and i was flying back my ticket for a return was like 600 bucks probably. And then the event I was at, I realized I could finish much earlier than my flight. So I just went to the airport like four hours early
Starting point is 00:32:31 and I tried to switch to an earlier flight and I could stand by, but I just kind of wanted it guaranteed because I had a connecting flight, which I was already like confirmed on. So I was like, I want to just make sure I get that connecting flight. So the difference between fares of this earlier flight was 85 and i thought that's that's probably
Starting point is 00:32:51 worth it i'm just gonna do that guaranteed a spot on the earlier flight i'm leaving four hours earlier as soon as i was confirmed on that flight i opened my app to make sure i would like update and i got this message switch flights get a travel credit. We're looking for volunteers to move flights. If needed, you're still on your original flight until you offer. Okay. Wow.
Starting point is 00:33:12 Look at the top option. $825. Wow. Now I doubt they would have offered that high because someone would have already picked 400. But imagine if you just keep, if you deliberately switch to an earlier busy flight and then get paid 825 dollars to go back to your original flight that's more that's more than the
Starting point is 00:33:34 entire ticket that would be like someone paying me to go to alabama and back i i don't know why you didn't do that i think that's perfectly legitimate to do and And I think that's just being a smart flyer. But it also brings up something that I've been wanting to talk to you guys for a while about. I also flew this weekend and I've been seeing this pop up every time I fly. And I'm sure it's the same with you. Here it is. You're showing it right here, Gav. Every time you fly, they ask you if you want to take a later flight for a credit, right? Yeah, because every flight is overbooked. Because every flight is overbooked. If you didn't have a lot going on, wouldn't it be fun
Starting point is 00:34:08 to buy a ticket, not really caring if you went anywhere, and just see how long you can stay at the airport. Just keep deferring. Because eventually, if you defer past 8pm, they'll be like, well, the deferment comes with a hotel room now. And then you can just go to the Holiday Inn
Starting point is 00:34:24 Express or whatever, get up the next morning, go back to the airport. You could probably become a millionaire in credit in four days. Just sitting at the airport just going, I'll do it. I'll do it. What do you do for a living? Oh, I fly for American Airlines.
Starting point is 00:34:39 Are you a pilot? No, I just fly on the airline and never go anywhere. I don't even fly, I defer. I just stand in the airline and never go anywhere. I don't even fly. I defer. I just literally just stand in the airport. Imagine deferring for a living. That's great. It's like combining the terminal with the big short. You've found the crack of the system and you're shorting the airlines by just deferring constantly.
Starting point is 00:35:00 Never going anywhere. I would always deliberately book onto a very busy flight the busiest of the day intending to go much later like don't even bother going to the airport check in take the offer and then just show up much later and you could save so much money yeah you might miss your flight don't i had to like i was i thought about it on sunday because you know when you were in alabama i was in savannah georgia and uh over the weekend. And I was there with Emily and Millie. And it was like $250 a ticket to delay my flight from Savannah to Charlotte. And it's Sunday, and you just had a whole weekend, and you're tired.
Starting point is 00:35:34 But I was thinking about, man, there's real power if you fly with people, and you bought all the tickets. That was $750 right there. Yeah. I've never seen it that high. I've seen it for $100 and stuff. And then you just have to weigh up like how valuable is my time? And I really thought about doing it,
Starting point is 00:35:49 but I'd already confirmed myself on this connecting flight. So I didn't. I've seen them go $1,000 before. That's insane. Yeah. There's got to be more than the flights. Oh, easily. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:59 Yeah, for sure. But at that point, it's not. I mean, their profit margin is probably so good. They're just, they're more worried about efficiency, you know, and dealing with like, dealing with, they're already gouging the eyeballs out of us on money anyway, so they're probably more just concerned with volume and not having too much, too many people miserable and queuing up in the area. So, Andrew, what do you think?
Starting point is 00:36:24 Valid hack? Oh, absolutely. So, Andrew, what do you think? Valid hack? Oh, absolutely. Yeah, that's a fantastic hack. I love the idea of spending the whole day in an airport just deferring to try to see how much you can get. It's a great premise. It'd be a great contest, right? See who could do it the longest.
Starting point is 00:36:37 Could you make it a week and not ever actually get on your flight? That feels too long. I'm trying to think of the best place to do it. I feel like the Dallas to Austin from Dallas, well, I i guess where else would it be from it's always so busy but there's a lot of flights so it kind of depends on the day but i always feel like there's 18 people on standby for those flights just go from hub to hub like like dallas to chicago or chicago to charlotte and just yeah i bet you just sit there and churn.
Starting point is 00:37:06 How'd you make your first million? Well, let me tell you. Let me tell you about DFW. I like the idea of having a million in credit for the thing you didn't do. What's your bank? Oh, the American Airlines app. I'll pay you in flights.
Starting point is 00:37:25 Listen, I'm a little... I'm like, all right, I finished your roof. I'm a little short on cash right now, but let me offer you this. Where would you like to fly in the continent of the United States? I've got you covered. I'm a millionaire, but it expires in 2025. I'm getting dragged out of a restaurant, trying to argue that, like, no, this grilled cheese is...
Starting point is 00:37:42 You're telling me this grilled cheese is not worth a flight to Greece? This grilled cheese is not worth a flight to Greece? This grilled cheese is not worth a flight to Greece. These people are crazy. Gav, I think that's the best hack you've had so far. Yeah. It's great. If I have something that's not time sensitive, I'm definitely going to try it. I'm going to deliberately change to an earlier fuller flight and then try and get credit back to my original flight. Oh
Starting point is 00:38:06 That's interesting yeah, you absolutely should You need to explore this further. I had a really this is a small thing, but it made me made me happy I was playing the new Sherlock Holmes game which came out. I've a how is it my friend? Oh, it's it's great It's like not the best one because they're Ukraine studio. So it's difficult times to like try to release a game. It's a remaster of an old one. What kind of game is it? It's like a mystery type game, but it's always like you have to investigate.
Starting point is 00:38:37 And it's fun because typically you can accuse the wrong person. Like you can gather all the evidence and there's typically like three choices. And is it like third guy? Third person yeah it's third person it's a third person like walk around scan for clues do you like oh so it's it's it's one of those ones where you just you just put a fucking magnifying glass over everything in a room until you find the right thing it's sort of it's more like batman you know in the arkham games or like you hit right bumper and you got sherlock vision and like you could scan stuff and like walk around i was playing the new one and uh this is last week and i had such a wonderful time playing the game but then there was a surprise in it that made me laugh harder than it would
Starting point is 00:39:16 have in other contexts i'm going to post a screenshot this is a letter in the game i'll read part of it very quickly love letter from aron. I can't wait to hold your hand and be lost in your beautiful eyes completely and forever yours, Errol. There's a character in it named Errol. And every time they brought up Errol, I lost it. That guy sounds cheeky.
Starting point is 00:39:37 He's a little cheeky. He lost some fingers and got dragged out of his house. He's a little cheeky. I don't have a ridiculous story with this, but this was like, holy fuck, Errol. fingers and got dragged out of his house. He's a little cheeky. I don't have a ridiculous story with this, but this was like two days after we recorded that episode.
Starting point is 00:39:52 Wow. How often do you come across the name Errol? Almost never. So to see it pop up was a great time. It was fantastic. It's always nice to have an Errol sighting. I bet you see it more often now that we've had the conversation. I hope so. It's like if you talk about a Mustang, suddenly
Starting point is 00:40:08 every time you drive, you see like four Mustangs. Totally. Yeah, absolutely. I'd love more Errols in my life, though. Hey, y'all know how I did that? I had that XFL opportunity and I got to go run out on the field. Yeah, absolutely. I had another cool sports thing happen to me over the weekend.
Starting point is 00:40:24 What happened? we went to Savannah to do a college tour and by the way I've never been to Savannah before phenomenal city everybody there was so genuinely nice I actually have a really weird thing I want to talk to you guys about that happened I think it'll spark a conversation I actually got a bunch of stuff I want to talk about
Starting point is 00:40:41 we won't get to it today but we might get to that one anyway just like a gorgeous, it's like New Orleans without the puke. It was just awesome. while I was there, I went to a Savannah Bananas game, who is, you know, the baseball team that created Banana Ball that we're well, I'm a fan of. I think y'all
Starting point is 00:41:00 maybe. They're great. Is it hard to get tickets to that? Yeah, dude. This is how hard it is to get tickets. I had to buy them on StubHub. I bought General Admission was all I could get. It was $200 per ticket. So I paid $600
Starting point is 00:41:14 for Millie, Emily, and I to go to this game. I got the tickets. They're $25 tickets. That was how much the price was. But it was one of those things where it's like, I've been a fan for while now i've been kind of obsessed with them who knows if and when i'm ever going back to savannah you know i don't know that millie's gonna want to go to savannah for college and if she does i don't know that she'll get accepted like there's a lot that has to happen for savannah to become a place that i visit again and so i was like this is my opportunity they're
Starting point is 00:41:40 playing a home game they've been on tour all year so it's like i really wanted to go and see it and so i was like fuck it this is one of those moments where you you spend a little bit of extra money uh for the experience and i wouldn't do it again at that price but it was totally it was one of the best sports experiences i've ever had um and i took a bunch of videos i don't think i sent them to y'all i think i just sent them to eric and and uh jack but i've got some funny some funny videos of of of dudes on stilts playing baseball and stuff I can send you guys. But as a matter of fact, I should probably
Starting point is 00:42:09 upload some of this to you. But anyway, after the game, I just posted a picture of it saying that I was there. And then after the game, I got a fucking Instagram message from the producer, the broadcast producer, who was like, hey, we saw you at the game if you ever, ever back
Starting point is 00:42:26 at a Savannah Bananas game and want to sit in on a broadcast for this, let us know. So now I gotta go back so that I can sit in and broadcast on a fucking Bananas game. Like, how cool is that? That's incredible. You're a straight up sports influencer. Dude, I'm carving out a weird little
Starting point is 00:42:41 niche these days, and I am pretty fucking excited about it let me tell you I am not that's unbelievable that's so funny I texted Jeff a thing related to like sport like being announced in a sports thing under the thing
Starting point is 00:42:58 of like well whenever this will fucking happen again like there's no there's no possibility of this being in the near future but if it did, that's wild. So when are you going to do it? You have to do this. I don't know. Like, whenever I have occasion to go back to Savannah, I guess,
Starting point is 00:43:12 but I really, really want to. That's not the occasion. You're not just going to go to Savannah for this purpose. Oh, just for that? Yeah. Yeah. Okay, let me sell you. I would consider it, sure.
Starting point is 00:43:23 Let me sell you on this. You go there early in the morning, okay? You defer, like, four, let me sell you. I would consider it, sure. Let me sell you on this. You go there early in the morning, okay? You defer like four flights. It's free. It's a free trip. You're set. I love it. Oh, it's you and Stilt Guy.
Starting point is 00:43:34 Oh, it's you and Stilt. Yeah, I took a photo of Millie and I with the Stilt Guy, and then the dude who does all the fucking dancing. I have a funny video of him, actually, the dude on the left. Let me see if I can post this to you guys, or if it's going to be too fucking dumbass powerful No, we got upgraded. It's all right file sizes are bigger now. Let me see I
Starting point is 00:43:52 Can't believe Eric won he did he beat. I did he waited him out This is a sense of what what the game is like This is the video sense of what the game is like. This guy dancing on the field. Is he being a fish? Yeah, he's doing this. I don't know if you can hear it, but it's the SpongeBob SquarePants song. So he's being a fish while it's on.
Starting point is 00:44:16 And then he starts doing other shit. It's great. It's just fucking wild. He's got some moves. Oh, dude, they're're phenomenal it's the most insane thing i've ever experienced like it is i got a video of the stilt guy pitching let me send that to you uh let me see oh here's the fucking banana in the outfield he spent two innings just sitting there in that chair pretty pretty heavy eric energy on that guy he's baseball adjacent yeah that's yeah yeah that's me i'm hanging out is there a thing
Starting point is 00:44:51 where like if you hit the banana it counts as like a grand slam or something like what is there a a side rule uh i don't know it didn't happen uh i don't think oh man i mean i don't want that guy to get hit but it would be really funny if that guy got hit. Their product is so goddamn fun. I've never experienced a sporting event like it. You talk about Sloppy Joe's, so there's too much to look at. There's so much going on at all times, and it's just impressive.
Starting point is 00:45:21 Throughout the whole game, they do this brilliant thing where they play like the hook like the the good 15 seconds of every song you've ever heard and they have bits for each one so like when it's raining men comes on or some other song comes on suddenly everybody breaks into a rehearsed action and so you never know what it's going to be because you don't know what they've rehearsed so like there was one point where we're like in the fifth inning and suddenly a song came on and the umpire started twerking. And I just hadn't considered that the umpire would at any point be a part
Starting point is 00:45:53 of the show. It was fucking wild. It's I can't say no. I'm not going to, I won't bore the audience. Does the, does the still guy bat? No,
Starting point is 00:46:02 he only pitches. I think. Oh man. I was wondering like, where would the little rectangle be? They only... They only brought him in for like one
Starting point is 00:46:12 inning to pitch, I think. Yeah, it's just ludicrous. Anyway, so... Really cool and I'm really digging this weird sports influencing thing we've got going on. So if you... If you want me to run your team
Starting point is 00:46:28 out or speak enthusiastically about them on a broadcast, let Eric know. I'll be there. Oh, can I talk to you guys about a weird thing that happened to me while I was there? Yeah, of course. Fucking take us out of the episode. What is the...
Starting point is 00:46:44 Alright, I'll explain what happened, then I'm going to us out of the episode. Absolutely. What is the, what, all right, I'll explain what happened, then I'm going to ask you guys a question. Okay. I was, we were on a college tour, right? My kids are looking at college in Savannah, so we're on this tour, we're touring, like, the film school, and then we're about to move on to, like, the photography school, and we were all just kind of, like, beat for a minute.
Starting point is 00:47:02 Like, we just needed a break. We'd been going for a couple hours. And so, and we're on campus and we're like, let's take a break. We'll come, it's like a self-guided tour. So you can come back, you can come and go as you please. Like, let's take a break. Let's go to get some coffee or a soda or something
Starting point is 00:47:17 and chill out in the air conditioning for a minute and relax, catch our breath, check up on our phones or whatever, and then get back to it. We all just kind of needed a minute. And so I Googled, I Google mapped a coffee shop. And one thing about Savannah that I do not like every time I Google mapped anywhere, and then we walked to where it said it was, it was not there. It happened to like two restaurants
Starting point is 00:47:37 I tried to go to. And then I Google mapped a coffee shop, a Starbucks. And we're like, oh, okay, this there's a Starbucks in this hotel. let's just go there it's within it's a five minute walk and we go to this area and there's no fucking starbucks there again it's like the third time this has happened to me and so we look around and we see a coffee shop uh like an independent coffee shop uh within walking distance to kind of down the road and we're like i guess i mean whatever we just we just want to sit down so we go that way and we go to this coffee shop the only reason we're in this I guess, I mean, whatever. We just want to sit down. So we go that way and we go to this coffee shop. The only reason we're in this coffee shop is because we needed a break from a tour.
Starting point is 00:48:09 Let me rephrase that. The only reason we're in a coffee shop is because we needed a break from the tour. The only reason we're in this coffee shop is because the Starbucks didn't exist that they tried to take me to. Sit down, I pick up, we order drinks. I get an iced coffee. I sit down. We're all just kind of doing our own thing. I pick up. We order drinks. I get an iced coffee.
Starting point is 00:48:25 I sit down. We're all just kind of doing our own thing. I'm on my phone, just like catching up on the news or whatever. And Millie goes, is that Elise Willems? And I go, I don't even look at it from my phone.
Starting point is 00:48:36 I go, absolutely not. And Millie goes, I think it might be Elise. And I go, impossible. And she goes, no, I'm pretty sure it's Elise. And I go, I refuse to look at it from my phone for this. I'm in my zone no I'm pretty sure it's Elise and I go I I refuse to
Starting point is 00:48:45 look up for my phone for this I'm I'm I'm in my zone I'm taking my Jeff break my like I need my time and I just go I go listen there's absolutely no reason Elise Williams would be in Savannah Georgia right now they're in California we're here it's impossible that Elise Williams would be here and I hear Jeff and I look up and it's goddamn Elise Williams would be here. And I hear, Jeff? And I look up, and it's goddamn Elise Williams from Funhaus in the same coffee shop as I am. Willems. Did I say Williams? I said Willems.
Starting point is 00:49:11 Yeah, you kept going more and more Williams. Did I say Williams? Oh, I don't know why. You were slowly transitioning into Williams. Willems, Williams, Williams. I just get, I don't know, I get twangy when I get emphatic. Goddamn Elise Williamsems is there,
Starting point is 00:49:26 all the way from California Funhouse, in the same fucking coffee shop that we are. And I just think about, and we had like a nice little catch up. They were in town for a vacation or whatever. They just happened to be, that's too small a world. It's too small a world. Were they also trying to find their non-existent Starbucks?
Starting point is 00:49:43 No, no, they knew. And it was just Elise. James wasn't there at the moment. It was just Elise. He was like with his family or something. And so, yeah, like what are the odds that we would be in the same city at the same time? And then that like confluence of events had to happen in the way that it happened for us to be in the same coffee shop at the same time. Like a two minute variance in any direction that meeting never happens how often does that happen do you think
Starting point is 00:50:10 where that's what i was gonna ask somewhere thousands of miles away and you have like quite a close friend and then you just miss them and you don't even know right like how often does it come very very close like how many times in your life have you been like 30 seconds away from running into dan or bernie or like yo mary cruz or somebody you know from childhood you know or just like somebody you know that in our past you know like nico yeah uh or whoever and you were just like you're just like strangers in the night you just miss each other and you were so close to connecting like it must happen i can't believe that happened a lot right was it too weird to have a normal conversation uh it was a little no well we hadn't seen each other i don't
Starting point is 00:50:51 think since the pandemic so it was a nice little catch-up but i think we were both it was weird for a second because i think we were both uh so surprised to see each other and so like this doesn't make sense you You're not in this place. Why are you in this place? You know, you get a little distrustful. But I love James and Elise. I think they're two of the funniest people I've ever met. And I absolutely adore working with them. I can't imagine a better person to bump into than Elise.
Starting point is 00:51:17 Yeah, Elise is literally one of my favorite people to perform with. Like, we did Last Laugh together, and I laughed so fucking hard getting to work with her. so just getting getting to see them in or i guess just her in this instance in that environment was it was awesome and it was it was funny uh and i'm sure she's telling this story somewhere in funhouse uh right now but uh but yeah like like how fucking crazy is it that that happened she's talking about about how she saw Jeff Ramsey. Jeff Ramsey? You didn't see it? Like how?
Starting point is 00:51:48 James wasn't there? He was like trying to meet up with his parents or something. Like they were trying to coordinate some Ubers or some shit. So I just, I said hi to him. I talked to him on the phone. I said hi to him on the phone. And then we texted. You were in the same city, but you said hi to him on the phone.
Starting point is 00:52:02 Yeah, yeah. You could do that right now if you wanted to. I think, no, I know. I think he was also equally shocked. But we had to get back to a tour and stuff, too. It's like, they were going somewhere, and we were on our way back to, well, like, we were there for Millie and her thing.
Starting point is 00:52:14 So I'm not trying to, like, crowbar in a dinner or something when they're on a family vacation with, you know, their family and shit. But it was just awesome. It was just awesome to run into them. And it just got me thinking, like, how many times has this almost happened to you in your life? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:28 I can think of a time when I was in the office. I've talked about this. And Gavin walked by without noticing me and then walked out without noticing me. And I was just looking at Gavin the whole time. I didn't know what you looked like. No, no, you did. No, that's not true.
Starting point is 00:52:44 That was after that. That was way beyond that. We went to pinballs at this point. That was before pinballs. No, it wasn't. It was after. It was post-pinballs. This is a post-pinballs.
Starting point is 00:52:54 So I just went through the office. You just went through the office and didn't see me? Well, I just stared at you the entire time. Well, you could say hello. I'm probably going somewhere. Yeah, I didn't know if you had like an important thing that was going like i wasn't going to interrupt you in any way but i was just like oh certainly he will like notice me and and wave and say like hello but no you just walked in and out
Starting point is 00:53:15 no concept that i was there did i see you later on that trip uh i don't know if you did oh come i don't remember that that's the main thing I remember about that experience. I feel like every time you've been in the office, I've been there. I don't know. Why was I? I don't remember why I was there. We must have. I mean, yeah, there must have been something, but I don't remember what I was specifically
Starting point is 00:53:37 there for at that time. Speaking of Nico, he sent me a nice piece of mail. Then I started texting him. I had a really nice, long conversation with Nico on text. He really likes Andrew Panton. Oh, yeah? I love Nico. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:52 I wouldn't have met any of you if it wasn't for Nico. That's true. My introduction through this was through Nico. Yeah, we would talk about what we do, what we're mainly focused on now, and I was like, yeah, podcast called F*** Face. I was telling him all about it so gav you travel more than any of us you travel all the time has have you ever run into somebody in an unexpected place like that like i ran into i ran into uh tom who used to work he used to like take a lot of the store pictures and did graphic design he was an artist yeah yeah uh very talented artist i bumped into him in a line for coffee
Starting point is 00:54:30 at the rekjavik airport are you serious that's so far that's so random what was he doing in rekjavik i have no idea but i i couldn't the coffee that was in my mouth almost fell out because i couldn't believe. It was like I saw him, and I was used to seeing him around, but I had to remember where I was. I was like, what's going on? Wait, what's happened?
Starting point is 00:54:55 Why is the simulation breaking? Yeah, it's like, why does they... I guess they have their own Tom. That's weird. Like the idea of... It's not the same guy. There's Icelandic Tom. That's weird. Like the idea of it's not the same guy. There's Icelandic Tom. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:07 Yeah. And it might have been the first time we had like a just a conversation that wasn't about work. That's really weird. Wow. I how's he doing?
Starting point is 00:55:16 I haven't seen him in years. Well, that was five years ago. So I'm not sure. I always. Well, I hope he's doing well. I always like Tom. Yeah. Like Jack, I was talking
Starting point is 00:55:24 to my major. I was went to lunch with Major League Fan Jack Jack, I was talking to my major. I was, went to lunch with major league fan Jack recently. And I was telling him about the, the Willems thing. And he was like, he was telling me, uh,
Starting point is 00:55:31 that he was like in, uh, in Scotland one day on vacation with Katie and they're walking down the street and they looked up and Adam Ellis was just walking right in front of him, like walking right towards him. Oh, wow. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:42 If you don't, this is inside baseball for face audience. But Adam Ellis is another guy he used to work at rooster teeth uh like three or four years ago he said wow yeah we i guess it's one of those things where it's like when you have a slightly larger company the chances of two people having the same birthday goes up like exponentially somehow and it must be the same thing where it's like if you're if you have a couple hundred employees you're you're going to see them in other places. But I just don't know how, because there's seven,
Starting point is 00:56:08 there's 8 billion people. Well, it doesn't have to just be coworkers too. It's like every person, the accumulation of every person you've ever met or become friendly with in your life too, you know, gets added.
Starting point is 00:56:17 All three of our examples were coworkers. That is true. And like, but I was about to say the day job is big enough that there are two G Jeffs in the company. Like, that's fucking big. I've never in my life been around another G Jeff. Ever.
Starting point is 00:56:32 There were two Gavins at one point. Yeah, that's right. I feel like that's a little less rare, but yeah. I got a ton of emails that were supposed to be for him. Oh, I still get it. I still get it. I get alumni emails for the other Jeff constantly.
Starting point is 00:56:47 I just forward them to him all the time. For his college. So when you went through Facebook recently, Gavin, any updates from Tom? You reach out there? Are there any messages waiting for you that you may have not seen? Maybe you stretch. Okay. Well, let me check. I actually haven't looked.
