Starting point is 00:00:00 So what I did Eric is I texted them the night before and I said is this a regulation salad or is this salad approvable? It was a link to a Wendy's salad. They're like, yeah, it looks like a good salad So then I used it and Gavin shit on the salad But what I'm really glad they didn't notice is I actually swapped salads from that point I picked a different salad and also you didn't say is this a regulation salad can I do salad cream with a salad you just said what do you think of this salad well I wanted to say it's a surprise I wanted to leave or the episode and then suddenly we're doing this again you've got strawberries in it well yeah okay so here's the thing I'm not
Starting point is 00:00:48 I don't really like blue cheese and I didn't notice that in the salad I sent you to blue cheese was in it and I was like blue cheese is fucking gross dude I don't really want to eat that so I just audibled out swap salad so when you guys were yelling at me about the salad thing I was waiting for one of you to bring up the fact that it was a completely different salad
Starting point is 00:01:03 it was a great salad though and I still I stand by I gave you what you of you to bring up the fact that it was a completely different salad. It was a great salad, though. And I still, I stand by I gave you what you wanted and it wasn't good. And that's your fault, not mine. What salad are you doing this week?
Starting point is 00:01:12 I don't have a salad. Okay. I'm not gonna, I've already redeemed myself in that way. He's just gonna have to chug another soda at the end, like we,
Starting point is 00:01:18 as we discussed every episode. Well, Jeff, I think maybe you should chug a soda for the first time based on what people are saying. Nobody thinks you chugged a soda. I chugged it then. It's just fucking easy to do. It's just hard to burp later i sent gavin a video doing it to prove
Starting point is 00:01:29 that it's not that hard this is interesting the audience can suck a butt because i definitely drank it we're not ahead anymore so that means that at the time of this the audience has seen the previous episode or listen yeah i'm all fucked up it's we caught up and now I'm terrified. See, this is why this is why we have a buffer. So that way it just doesn't turn into more of this where Jeff is confused and mad. Let Jeff be mad about other stuff. Also, the bye hate when we have a buffer, because then I never know where the fuck in the timeline I am. There's no way to win in recording this podcast.
Starting point is 00:02:00 I realized we need to talk about this because the first of all, why do we not have a buffer? How long has this episode been going, by the way? Uh, well, I don't know. Hey, guess what? Jeff didn't record earlier. He took a while to record. I started it.
Starting point is 00:02:13 I'm sorry. I started recording at 257. Wow. Yeah. Mm hmm. Okay. I had to get up and get a soda. That's fine.
Starting point is 00:02:20 That's early. Thank you, Gavin. But why do we not have a buffer? Uh, we don't have a buffer because, uh, I don't know. We don't have a buffer. Yes, we do not have a buffer because you push. We weren't able to record because you were busy doing something for a different podcast. Yes, I was doing something for a different podcast. And but had I not been doing something for the podcast, I also would have been going to a funeral. So, OK, it was a double whammy for me that week.
Starting point is 00:02:54 Yeah, OK, we'll really take the air out of my punch, Jeff. Thank you for doing that. Thank you for just really making me have to, like, pull back. This isn't about that. The fact you were gone. What? I'm not even going to get into the smanches of it. The point of this is, I think, I think that we need to have a serious review over Superfan Jack and his superfan status.
Starting point is 00:03:12 Oh, dude, don't worry. I'm right there with you. Guess who's, so tomorrow, we're, you know, if we want to place where this exists in the timeline, we are recording this at three, it's 3.03 PM Centralm central time uh june 24th uh 2021 and tomorrow is the second face break shit and uh jack has already backed out already backed out he's already he did but the jack's credit he backed out three days early yeah that's true i will i will give
Starting point is 00:03:41 him all the credit in the world that he did not do it day of yeah he so he didn't do it moment of which is appreciative but i'm prepared i'm prepared to hear any any talk regarding demotion of said super fandom i i ratchet him back back up as a show of good faith i think he's nervous i think he doesn't want to i think he doesn't ever want to be in face anything it's a lot of pressure we've talked about him so much as the super fan he would have to deliver super fan this and maybe he's not capable I don't see how we could continue to give him super fan status. He's over two on these break shit streams We have moved our podcast. We've not recorded our podcast for his podcast I bought him a cameo from his favorite is number one his favorite person I got him a kid. We've done a lot for superfan Jack. I never
Starting point is 00:04:29 T-shirt you made him a tea with t-shirt. I never make that on a t-shirt I don't think you can be superfan Jack. I think he's got a we got it He's got to go back to the minors. I'm not saying he can't work his way back up. What's he doing now? We could call him we uh Minor league Jack is what we'll call him. Yeah, I like Minor League Jack. I'm a fan of Minor League Jack. Should I call him right now?
Starting point is 00:04:50 Yeah. Yeah, see if he can defend himself, I guess. Let me see if he'll answer. Let's see. I mean, a real super fan would answer if his favorite podcast is coming up, I guess. A Minor League guy might not. I hope this is a good idea. Okay, here we go.
Starting point is 00:05:04 Hold on. Speaker. Can you this is a good idea. Okay, here we go. Hold on speaker. Can you guys hear that? Nope. No, much like the soda chug. Jack non-existent. Jeffrey. Hey, it's Jeff. Jeff from the face podcast.
Starting point is 00:05:16 You're on my podcast face right now with me with Andrew Panton and Gavin free. Do you have a just one second, Jack? Oh, no, no. no, this is overwhelming. Oh my gosh, yes, yes. I'm excited to be on your podcast. Andrew, were you able to hear that? Jack's very excited to be here. No, I didn't hear anything. It's going into the microphone. It's going straight
Starting point is 00:05:36 into the microphone. I don't know how you can't hear it. I can't hear Andrew. I feel like this is as made up as your soda. No, no, no. It's questionable at best. Hold on a second, Jack. What the fuck am I supposed to do? How do I pipe it into you, dickhead? I'm going- It's going into the microphone.
Starting point is 00:05:48 I can't help it if you can't fucking hear it. He's here. Jack, are you here? Turn your mic up, fool. It's up! Your mic is all the way up. I can't hear Gavin either. It's always all the way up.
Starting point is 00:05:58 I always got- Hold on a second. Hold on a second, Jack. Hold on just one second. Notice Gavin. Jeff said my- Jack, yell hey. Hello, this is Jack.
Starting point is 00:06:06 Oh, that's Jack. We can kind of hear. This is Jack. I'm here. I'm a big fan of the podcast. Can't hear. Yeah, okay. He's fucking blowing out my microphone.
Starting point is 00:06:15 All right, Andrew wanted me to relay something to you, since he can't relay it. Well, I got to turn my game back down. I'm certainly loud. Andrew, what did you want me to say to Jack? I just said that I think he can't be a super fan right now. I think he's going back to the minors. Jack, Andrew has pulled F*** Face rank as 33% of F*** Face.
Starting point is 00:06:35 I didn't pull rank. It was more of a conversation. He put his foot down and said that you've been stripped of your super fan title and that you're now minor leagues fan, Jack. You have to work your way back up through the minors. I don't know if I believe a liar. Can't hear him. Jack, this has gone terribly wrong. I'm going to hang up on you now.
Starting point is 00:06:55 I will relay that message. Thank you. We're talking about someone who we talk to on Discord daily and we can't just have him join the Discord for five seconds. I don't know why you didn't do that. Me? Well, we can't just have him join the discord for five seconds i don't know why you didn't do that me what well why didn't why didn't you have him join the discord then if you've got all the fucking ideas how about what could i could i point out jeff's podcast gavin did you hear that on my podcast jeff said what happened to the triangle
Starting point is 00:07:20 and then i said you're 33 of the fucking thing no no you didn't i said and're 33% of the fucking thing. No, you didn't. I did just say, I said, Andrew is 33% of the podcast. Oh my God, it is my podcast, and it's your podcast, and it's Gavin's podcast. Do you own a little piece of it? It's a little piece of yours, so you can call it yours. Speaking of, you know, like hosting duties, welcome to F*** Face. I don't know what episode this is. Hello, and welcome to episode 57, I believe, of F*** Face. My name is Geoff Ramsey.
Starting point is 00:07:46 I'd be willing... Well, now you're interrupting the intro. Yeah, it's too late. The intro, this is like 28 minutes in. I'm willing to give up 1% of the triangle. I want to take 32% of the podcast and split the remaining percent equally between Eric and Nick. I think that's a great idea. If I gave you my sauce, Gavin, could I just buy your shares?
Starting point is 00:08:04 Could I become the majority owner? Uh, yeah. My percentage of face is totally for sale. Um, I'm willing to trade any amount of it, to be honest. I'll take the sauce. Okay. It's a lot. Hey, the sauce is valuable. Like, more valuable than I anticipated.
Starting point is 00:08:20 Market value is up. The sauce is no longer available. You can no longer get it and mcdonald's outside of korea i think it's there those are standard sauces there have you made any sales have not made any sales i'm in i made an alliance with nick we've we've officially formed a sauce alliance and i've been uh i've been searching i've been tapping into the market cabin i uh i've been asking around i don't know if you saw this but i reached out I asked McDonald's if they would be interested in buying the sauces So immediately day one
Starting point is 00:08:48 You're trying to sell it all back to the place that made it Yeah well I figured you know It was a big hit for them They could use the sauce They could use some additional sauces I'm sure a lot of people are saying they couldn't get them They're running low I mean surely Burger King wants it more than McDonald's
Starting point is 00:09:04 McDonald's can just make more. Well, that's what, that's what you're, you know, well listen, they, they need to make it though.
Starting point is 00:09:09 They need to ship it. They need to distribute it. I'm ready to go. I got my sauce tower set. I'm ready. That was my idea. I also, I just didn't know.
Starting point is 00:09:17 I was curious how they'd reply. I just wanted to see what McDonald's would do. And what did they say? So I tweeted, hi, McDonald's. And I included McDonald's Canada. You got to cover all your? So I tweeted, hi, McDonald's, and I included McDonald's Canada. You got to cover all your bases.
Starting point is 00:09:27 Now that the BTS meal is gone, I hear you could use some sauce. I'm an honorable man simply looking to unload an empire in exchange for my liquid gold. How about free nuggets for the rest of the year? I eagerly await your response. Hashtag the sauce boss, which I didn't know, I guess guess is the nickname of the epic mealtime guy that's holly yeah yeah i didn't know that uh he liked the tweet relating to somebody calling him awesome in exchange for that so then mcdonald's america quiet mcdonald's canada wild response quick mass wow 81 sauces with ice is that right have you verified? It's, yeah, I can verify it's more than 81.
Starting point is 00:10:07 I don't know where 81 came from. Well, I assume they counted the length, the width, and the height. It's basic volume. It's way more than that. We got a 405 sauce thing. I was kind of disappointed, to be honest. Then they did another tweet that, like, they acknowledged it was 405. Oh, they just, it's just terrible maths. Yeah, they did a second tweet that they acknowledged it was 405. Oh, they just... It's just terrible maths.
Starting point is 00:10:26 Yeah, they did a second one where they're like, 405. They're just wildly wrong. They did say quick math. That's right. They didn't say correct math. And it's also, they're not a math company. They make nuggets and burgers. I don't expect a lot from them.
Starting point is 00:10:40 But no response. So then I followed up. I extended my offer. i gave an even bigger offer for my second go around did a second tweet the following day informing mcdonald's that our exclusive negotiating window is now closed i respect you so uh i can't even read this i respect you so the offer so the offer stands but big doesn't wait. The sauce game is ongoing. You cannot pause for the sauce game. I now kindly extend my BTS sauce empire
Starting point is 00:11:10 for free nuggets offer to Wendy's and Burger King. Don't sleep on this chance at liquid gold. Hashtag clear eyes, full sauce can't lose. I have stacked my nugget containers and one of the drink things I got. Actually, I forgot. So they didn't reply to this. So I don't know if they're, you know, they're probably having business meetings.
Starting point is 00:11:30 They're probably trying to work out a counteroffer. I assume I've yet to hear back from Wendy's Burger King or McDonald's America. But I forgot to mention this and just talking about this brings us up. The first day the sauce ended, the BTS sauce expired the deal or not the deal, but their offering of it. The 21st, I woke up. I went downstairs. I walked outside. I had a bag of McDonald's at my front door.
Starting point is 00:11:56 Just really just a bag. Yeah. So I was like, what is this? I didn't order this. So I pulled it in. I looked at it. It came from the night before it was placed at 10 36 p.m. or that's when the receipt was printed it was delivered to my front door using
Starting point is 00:12:12 a one of the delivery apps but not one I use a different delivery app delivered it to my door which then so there's two scenarios in my mind either the McDonald's hates me for all the sauce orders and as a a source of revenge they waited until the evening of the final day that the sauce is available and sent me like either fucked with like it was the order was a medium fries a large fries a BLT quarter pounder and that was oh and a soda a medium soda So either I feel like they sent it to me and they fucked with me, like they did something to the soda and just thinking like, oh, they'll think free food
Starting point is 00:12:50 and they'll have it. Or I have had so many McDonald's orders recently that the driver just assumed I was the person who placed it. They just delivered it there. But it's a different app. But I had rogue McDonald's soda. I felt like it was like a warning, like it's a different app but i had rogue mcdonald's showed i felt like it was like a
Starting point is 00:13:05 warning like it was a it was a threat or like a declaration of war i did not see that when i sent those tweets out interesting interesting that you that's how you view it and not as a peace offering from mcdonald's to you here are some other fine products we offer that you might enjoy i feel like a peace offering would be more sauce. Yeah, I was going to say, I think that would be the true peace offering. I don't think. A burger that looked gross and two orders of fries. Well, now you're
Starting point is 00:13:33 insulting them in their offer. It was a gross burger. Andrew, I think you're slightly overwhelmed. I think you're in all kinds of directions at once. I don't think you truly know what you want to do with this sauce. I agree. Well, yeah. No, I don't. It truly know what you want to do with this sauce i agree well it's yeah no i i don't it's worth a lot though like it's uh i sent you the listing of like a hundred dollars for one sauce of each and like the container in a bag so what was that was that the packaging or
Starting point is 00:13:58 was that the actual sauce that was everything it was i think two sauce containers and it was the nugget box the listing i shared that was like a hundred dollars have you have you been drinking That was everything. It was, I think, two sauce containers, and it was the Nugget Box, the listing I shared that was like $100. Have you been drinking heavily recently or taking any kind of medication? Or drugs? Are you on any heroin or any kind of mind-altering drugs right now?
Starting point is 00:14:17 No, I'm straight-edge, Jeff. There's no way you could have gotten hammered or, I don't know, did some black tar heroin and ordered it yourself no because let's it's not even an app i use it was a different delivery system than i would ever use they don't even have my address for the other so i think i honestly think what most likely happened is they saw mcdonald's order this building and just took it to my door but my door is so hard to find like it's impressive that it reached me out of all the places it could get.
Starting point is 00:14:46 I love that you describe your door like it's magic, and it exists in the Harry Potter universe, and you have to walk by it at a certain time of day or do an incantation to discover it. He has the sewing machine towards the wall at the right angle. Right, yeah, yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:15:02 We've talked about doing a bathtub race thing at some point, Jeff. If you are ever where I live, I will not give you instructions. I'll just tell you the address of my building, and we'll see how long it takes you to find my car. It is not easy. Okay, well, Gavin, you're involved with that too, buddy.
Starting point is 00:15:17 Challenge accepted. All right, that sounds awesome. And I got news for you. We're definitely going to do the bathtub race, but there's another reason we might end up in, in Canada for face down the road. And so, uh,
Starting point is 00:15:28 there's two possibilities in the next year that I, that could bring us to your wonderful fine Island. I, I didn't to the Island specifically, not even just general. Well, to the country. But if I'm going to go to the country,
Starting point is 00:15:41 I'm going to make the additional effort to go to your home turf. This is exciting. I don't, I haven't heard what the other possible, is it too far out to talk about? I'm going to go to the country, I'm going to make the additional effort to go to your home turf. This is exciting. I haven't heard what the other possible, is it too far out to talk about? I'm guessing. I just, it would be more fun for me not to tell you. Okay. Well, wait, so you're going to show up one day? No, I'll tell you in good time.
Starting point is 00:15:59 Okay. I just don't see the point in telling you now. It'll be next year sometime. Maybe a year from now. You're in two months or so. Okay okay potentially okay hmm that's concerning and then i'm gonna find your door i don't think you will i i think you're gonna end up having to text me to try to figure out like instructions i'd be impressed if you found it i would i don't know what there should we should make a bet of some kind i bet you could not from the front of my
Starting point is 00:16:24 building you could not find the front of my building you could not find my door within two minutes here's how I would do it within two minutes here's how I would do it I would order McDonald's to your house
Starting point is 00:16:33 and then I would start the timer I would start the two minute timer as soon as the guy showed up and then I'd just follow him he knows how to get there we've established that he knows how to get there
Starting point is 00:16:42 with your orders with other people's orders he's the key to me finding your place instantly i have no fit it cost me 99 cents in a delivery fee i'll order some small fries and he'll take me right there do maps does google maps or anything does it just put it in the wrong place on the map puts it in the wrong place yeah puts in the wrong place how do the drivers find it then it's uh well on one of the apps i can manually and they've changed this so it's i don't think i'll be making many food orders anymore you could manually place where you want
Starting point is 00:17:09 them to drive and i'd kind of put them in the middle of nowhere essentially but even still like people would get lost all the time or like i'd get some of the photos i've gotten if we've left your order here is like they've clearly given up and they don't know what to do it's just in an alley yeah it's just in a corner somewhere of the building it's uh it's great i bet i can find it within two minutes i bet i can do it uh i don't think so well it's dependent it's well we we should do it like a survivor challenge and then we'll we'll do me and gavin and nick and eric and we'll all try to find it building that sauce tower is the most survivor like experience I've ever had. It was genuinely like my hand was shaky. Everything
Starting point is 00:17:50 was like wobbly. It felt like one of those like they got to stack it above the point things. It was terrifying. Oh man.

That's the powerful backing of american express visit amex.ca slash ymx benefits vary by card terms apply have you ever had to find something in a hurry uh yeah like airport gates you know like when you're transferring i think it's the worst company yes it's it's so bad when everyone like someone's counting on you or you're going to miss something, but you don't know where to look for the thing you're looking for. You kind of end up like frantically jolting around in all directions, like looking at shit.
Starting point is 00:18:54 And you want to be moving fast, but you don't have a direction. So you're just like stuttering around. Yeah, it's a frantic mess. I'm trying to think of other times. I think airports are really like the one time where it's like, I don't know where this gate is. I have 10 minutes. What am I going to do?
Starting point is 00:19:08 I was once in Spain. We're filming some Formula One or something. And I realized that the guy I was with didn't bring the mags for the camera. They were still in his hotel room. So I had to be, I was like, oh, I'll go back and get him. And one of the runners like drove me back to the little resort where we were staying and we'd already had we had a shot in the
Starting point is 00:19:31 camera we just couldn't save it so everything was waiting on us to download this shot and i was ran back into this resort it was like a little compound of maybe like 50 villas but i got lost i could i'd only seen it in the dark and i it was like confusing me it was confusing me during the day so i was like uh-oh where's the and i couldn't find the number and i was just running around i must have spent five minutes running full speed but not knowing where i was running i must have like a completely insane person like a chicken with his head cut off and i was freaking out i thought it was gonna black out by the end of it. I was like, everyone's waiting. Everyone's waiting. And eventually I found it and it was like really close to the entrance.
Starting point is 00:20:14 That's I, I keep getting, so like, this is a weird, like it wasn't super frantic. I got lost in Austin one time. I don't think I've told the story on the podcast. Is this pre or post ankle roll? lost in Austin one time I don't think I've told the story on the podcast is this pre or post ankle roll uh this is I this is pre-ankle roll okay it was fine at this point I have two distinctive lost in Austin stories it always seems to happen at around RTX I guess this is the main reason why I'm in Austin but it was the night I am like one of the 12 people that didn't mind true detective season two and it was the finale was on like the closing night of RTX
Starting point is 00:20:47 and Caleb invited me to this bar thing where I guess they'd like every year they'd like a bunch of people would get together in the community do like a community event at this place and it was like maybe two blocks away from where I was staying the hotel I was at and this guy that I met through the
Starting point is 00:21:04 community really wanted to play rock paper scissors against me for whatever reason and I was like meet me I'll meet you outside of this hotel we can play rock paper scissors and we can walk and talk to this bar that I have to go to so that's what we did I won by the way do you play rock paper scissors a lot with a lot of people I don't play rock no it was their thing they really wanted to play rock paper scissors i was like sure i'll play i just love the idea of you and someone else in an alley the police roll up it's like all right where's the drugs and it's like no sir we were just playing rock paper scissors don't worry about it that's normal i'm very competitive so i i luckily i won i think it was close i think he won the first one i won the next three i don't remember
Starting point is 00:21:44 exactly but then we walked and talked to the place and I stayed. I just hung out. I didn't really do anything. I played pinball mainly for like two or three hours at this party. Do you think you're good at rock, paper, scissors, like better than the average person? I don't think so. I think I'm actually especially bad at rock, paper, scissors. I'd say I'm a bad rock, paper, scissors player.
Starting point is 00:22:03 Fair enough. Which pinball were you playing? I don't remember. It was just like a whatever. It was like me being bad at a party, not really knowing anybody and being awkward, so I'm just going to play pinball in the corner and kill time. If it makes you feel any better, that bar that you went to
Starting point is 00:22:15 that they would go to every year, I'm pretty sure it closed down. It's closed. It is gone. It doesn't make... I don't know why that would make me feel any better at all. I mean, it's not the bar's fault. Isn't it? Isn't it the bar's fault, Andrew? No, it's not the bar's fault. Isn't it? Isn't it the bar's fault, Andrew? No, it was a great bar. Don't they promise a good time?
Starting point is 00:22:29 Did you have a good time? It sounded horrible. I think a good time was there. It's just I couldn't find it. That's my fault. But I think it existed within the premises. I just was too awkward to like... You had all the ingredients.
Starting point is 00:22:40 You just couldn't make it into a good time. You just couldn't bake the cake. Okay, so the first part, there was like a UFC event on and they had a giant tv so i watched out on a couch i was like this is pretty good and then i played pinball so like as far as my evening goes not bad but terrible party as far as my involvement in it so then i leave and i left because i wanted to catch the finale of true detective season two and i gave myself like 30 minutes to go and i just kept walking and i couldn't quite remember my turn because i spent the entire time talking to the
Starting point is 00:23:09 guy so i wasn't really mindful of all i had to do it was literally i took one turn and then walk straight so i just had to turn once and i was set or you could have opened a map on your phone could have done that i didn't have my phone my phone died at the party that's what happened both times i've been lost my phone died at the party so i didn't have access to my phone or i'll say what to use my phone that would have solved this immediately so i had no phone and i just am going straight and i'm like eventually i'll find a turn i just every street i'd pass i'd be like i don't think that was it and i just keep walking and i realized i had missed my turn when i ran out of buildings there was no longer any buildings ahead of me I was like leaving the city essentially at that point
Starting point is 00:23:49 it is getting it's like 11 p.m maybe a little bit earlier it's like 10 30 ish 11 and everything's like in the area wasn't really open and I'm sweating because it's hot and it's the summer and I'm just going up to people asking like hey i'm trying to stay i stayed here could you tell me where it is i have no idea where i'm going and they kind of point sometimes or they just ignore me it was a disaster i spent like 30 minutes lost walking through the the city at night trying to find my hotel which i know is close like it's within probably 10 minutes of wherever I am. I go to some in the central area.
Starting point is 00:24:28 I came across two extremely drunk ladies who were thrilled by the fact that I was from Canada and they were kind enough to use their phone to help me, but they were too drunk to be useful in any way. So they also just gave me kind of shitty directions. I spent like an hour lost by the end of it, just walking up and down streets, going around trying to ask people. Nobody would help me. Eventually, I came across one of those bike carts that are intended for like multiple
Starting point is 00:24:54 people. And I'm like, I'll pay you whatever. Just this is my hotel. I'm so lost. Please take me to this place. Like a little pedicab. Yeah, like a little pedicab. And I hopped in.
Starting point is 00:25:04 I just had a great conversation he was playing like deaf leopard extremely loudly it was like 11 p.m his last job was a grave digger in new orleans so i just asked him about that it was just like the most bizarre evening like the conclusion to it i finish i get back to the hotel i'm way late for watching the true detective finale I turn it on. And I mean, spoilers for True Detective season two. There's a character in it who dies by having an extended walk through the desert. And that's the exact thing I walked into.
Starting point is 00:25:35 It's just this character walking, trying to make it back to the city. It was like Gavin in this fly thing. I perfectly lined up. But yeah, I got it was just a disaster. Every time, both times I've been lost in Austin. It's because my. But yeah, I got, it was just a disaster. Every time, both times I've been lost in Austin, it's because my phone died
Starting point is 00:25:48 and I've gotten shitty directions. And Caleb was the source of both of them. Now I think about it. I just like that you always go to these other cities miles,
Starting point is 00:25:55 not even in your own country, and you refuse to charge your phone every night. Yeah. It was charged. It's just, I was there for a few hours. It died.
Starting point is 00:26:03 I don't know. I've always had shitty phones outside of my most recent two. It's it's impressive as well in that. So I guess not the case anymore because of the explosive growth of the last two or three years. But this is at a time when Austin didn't have that many big buildings. Yeah, well, that's how I knew I was that much of a city. So it's like process of elimination.
Starting point is 00:26:23 You probably could have walked to every big building in 30 minutes in Austin. That's how I realized I went too far is the big building stopped existing. It was just all flat. That was my sign that I'm out of the city now. They started getting really small in the back. Yeah, everything got really tiny. I'm imagining you walking out of the side of Austin into the desert. You're probably just like two blocks away.
Starting point is 00:26:44 That was the first time. The second time it was the day after it was when that guy drove me from San Antonio to Austin. The next day I was like, I want a burger. I went to a burger place that was close and it happened to be a place that you took me to, Jeff. The first time I went to Austin, you and Caleb, it was this
Starting point is 00:27:00 tiny bar burger place. Casino El Camino. No, it wasn't that one it was a different one that was my invite by the way to that i i don't know do you remember what it was called i have no memory what it was called i also think that that business no longer exists uh probably it was a small but i was like oh i've been here i didn't realize this was the place i'd been before that's cool had a burger had a great time next day caleb and i went for lunch during RTX. And during the lunch, my phone died. And so we ate lunch and I said,
Starting point is 00:27:28 Caleb, my phone is dead. I don't know where my place is, but I know how to get from that bar slash burger place to my place. So if you could tell me where that burger bar place is, it's not far away. Just tell me where it is. And he once again, his instructions were he pointed he's like that way so then i just started walking in that direction found somebody else at the convention center who walked with me for a bit and we're talking and he offered me his
Starting point is 00:27:55 resume i said i can't really help you uh get a job and then he was like cool i gotta go so then he abandoned me i remembered i crossed train tracks going from point A to point B So I just stood on the train tracks, and I just kept walking down them because I was like eventually once again I'll find my turn in the heat. I'm miserable once again. Just drenched in sweat walking down the train tracks I was probably like 15 minutes away from having a breakdown of like I'm so lost But then I looked up and I was right in front of my building i don't know how i got there but i just made it back and i was like oh that's super convenient and i was good do you think maybe it's not hard to find your front door at all it's just hard for you to find your front door no i mean i just based off just based off
Starting point is 00:28:41 every story you've ever told about you getting from point A to point B? No, it's just, if I was guided to the bar, I knew where to go, because it was a straight shot, and I still found it, but I relied on the train tracks. I was just walking down the tracks. It's terrible. I'm good at getting lost, apparently. I am not convinced your place is hard to find. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:29:00 No, it is. This is what we'll do. It's definitely hard for you to find, but I think most things are. What if we, you know, those like tablet that are on wheels, like it's a moped slash tablet and you can see through it. What are the range on those? If I set one up in front of my building, I bet you couldn't find my door within the two minutes.
Starting point is 00:29:19 I would love to do this. We have to figure out a way to do like long range camera feed. I don't know if that technology even exists. It does. It does. Yeah, we could do that. We can do this. We have to figure out a way to do long-range camera feed. I don't know if that technology even exists. It does. We can do that. We'll find a way. You always have weird interactions with people, by the sounds of it. Oh, the weirdest!
Starting point is 00:29:35 The weirdest interactions. You didn't even ever tell us about the orgy invite. I've had weird interactions in Austin, too. I feel like some of them, you can put out a vibe whether or not you want to be spoken to by strangers. But I feel like when I first moved here, I was all for it.
Starting point is 00:29:50 You know, I was in a new country. If people came up and spoke to me, I'd be like, oh, hey, what's up? And once I was, it was when we lived in that rental house, Jeff. I think I'd walked to a like fresh place or something and I was walking back and some girl stopped me and she was like,
Starting point is 00:30:03 hey, can I talk to you about Planned Parenthood and I was like uh yeah what's that and she was like all right douchebag and just turned her back on me and walked off because I didn't know what it was and she thought I was taking the piss I assume everyone here knows what it is they just wanted to tell people about it and I was like what's Planned Parenthood and she she was having none of it and i just walked home just like what did i do she wanted to you to sign a sit your signature on something or to donate money probably to parenthood and she probably thought you were putting on a fake accent or just being dismissive because those poor those people get shit on all day long by strangers. That's really funny. Yeah, she was really mean. I was just being friendly.
Starting point is 00:30:47 That probably ruined the next hour. It probably ruined her next hour, too. She went home and she's like, I swear to God, all I'm trying to do is raise money for Planned Parenthood, and every fucking dude I talk to is a dickhead to me. This guy earlier today, he pretended not to know what it is, and he used a bad, british accent i don't think i even fully told the homeless orgy story thing so that happened because i was with somebody who didn't know how to use uber and they put the pickup point like six blocks away
Starting point is 00:31:21 in the middle of an orgy there was a they pinned an orgy no we're outside rtx this is there was i never made it to the homeless orgy gavin i was just it was an invite that was presented to me okay we're outside the convention center we're trying to get back to our place this is not only just pre-ankle roll this is pre me having the flu and getting everybody that i was with sick. We are he's like, I'll call an Uber. Oh, it's weird. It keeps telling me we have to go go to it.
Starting point is 00:31:50 And it's like seven blocks away. And so we're just walking, walking. This homeless guy walks up and is like, hey, can I have money? And I was like, sure. I gave him some money. And then we became best friends and he was following me. We're talking the whole way. And we I had a Seattle Seahawks shirt on and he was talking to me about football and he's like you think the Seattle Seahawks are gonna win this
Starting point is 00:32:09 year I didn't really think so but I was like yeah maybe and then he's like nah you think the Seattle Seahawks are gonna win the Super Bowl this year and I was like yeah he's like you think the Seattle Seahawks are gonna win the Super Bowl this year and I'm like yeah they're gonna win because it's like I'm a fucking budget Jerry Maguire. Like, he wanted me to yell about it, and I was just playing into his thing. And so I was like, yeah, they're going to win. And he's like, I don't like the chances this year.
Starting point is 00:32:34 I was like, why did we do that? What was the point? What was the point? Like, why? I think the point was to keep you engaged long enough to get you behind an alley somewhere where he could stab you and have a brand new Seattle Seahawks jersey to walk around play rock paper scissors yeah so then we kept walking and
Starting point is 00:32:50 he was taught like he just kept talking to me and we're crossing a section and i think somebody realized that like it was sort of a weird conversation we're having and they shoulder checked him in the crosswalk and that stopped them for a minute and he turned he's like what the fuck to the guy and i think the point was to try to allow me to get distance but as soon as we crossed the street my friend was like oh this is where we got to be for the car so i'm just standing there and the homeless guy comes back and this is where it elevated to another level he he looked at me and it was like i would describe the vibe as like an Anton Chigurh in the gas station of No Country for Old Men. There is like this weird tension.
Starting point is 00:33:29 And he was just staring at me and he's like, you have the prettiest eyes I've ever seen. I was like, oh, we are. We are going somewhere. What color are your eyes? I'd say like a blue, like a darkish blue. Oh, yes, exactly exactly according to him and then it turned into uh why are you here uh and i was like oh i'm at whenever i try to like describe rtx to somebody that would have no concept of what it is i always just say it's like a video game convention
Starting point is 00:33:59 and uh he's like oh so you're telling me you run all this shit? And he meant the city of Austin. And I was like, no, I just, you know, I just, you know, I like games and stuff. So I'm here for that. And he's like, oh, so you're a hacker and shit? And then he started going, boop, boop, boop, boop. And I was like, no, I just, I like video games. And then he was trying to convince me to go on his workout plan. He's like, you and I can work out.
Starting point is 00:34:24 We have a great time. We'll work out. We'll have so much fun. Then it pivoted to that. He knew a guy who had a bunch of drugs. And then it pivoted to where you staying at. I can bring the party. And it was like a very clear implication of or I don't remember the wording, but it was like, we're going to have an orgy.
Starting point is 00:34:44 How was it? How was what? The orgy orgy yeah not enough condoms but can you imagine the podcast you two could have started together if you if you just told him where he stayed well he doesn't know where he stayed he could never find the damn place that's true andrew's like i'll give you my address in vancouver island but you're never gonna find it. The dude's walking around with him and Austin, he's like, we're going in circles, man. Where are you staying? You're like, I don't know. The entire time, I don't think I blinked.
Starting point is 00:35:15 Like, we're having a weird stare down for this whole conversation. And he's like, where are you staying? And I panicked and I lied. I just said, I'm at the Hilton, 26th floor. I just came up with the floor. And he's like, cool. And he walked away. I lied. I just said, I'm the Hilton 26th floor. I just came up with the floor. And he's like, cool. They walked away. I never saw him again.
Starting point is 00:35:29 We got in our car. Do you think somebody who maybe looked reasonably like you or even not that like you on the sixth floor of the Hilton just had a surprise orgy happen in their laps? I'm curious what happened that evening on the 26th floor. I'd love to know. I hope not the 26th floor i'd love to know i hope nothing 26th floor but sounds like a lot of fun might happen we get in the car i feel so sick and i don't know that i i have a flu at this point dealing with fever flu i had everything i super sick get home i immediately vomit and it was the day that i tried big red for the first
Starting point is 00:36:02 time so just bright red vomitke. Vomit everywhere. And I got everybody sick. But I just, yeah. I've had some I don't know what it is about me, but I draw weird interaction with people. Like I have a magnet to it. It could be fun or it could be you're invited to a homeless orgy. Which also could be fun. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:19 It could be. Can't complain about that necessarily. I don't know that I'd want to be the kind of guy who goes an entire life without ever getting invited to a homeless orgy, you know? Is that a life worth living? Yes. Great point. How many homeless orgies have you been invited to, Gavin?
Starting point is 00:36:36 Not any. Not any. Yeah, see? Hmm. What a sad, sad life for a sad little man. I didn't know that you filmed F1 stuff, Gavin. Dude, he filmed Fernando Alonso. He did? That's what I was doing. Alonso was waiting.
Starting point is 00:36:49 I had no idea. I don't think it was for actually for, it wasn't a real Formula 1 race. It was a commercial for Santander or something who maybe sponsored some shite, I don't know. Who knows? I don't really know all about all the stuff I worked on.
Starting point is 00:37:06 Sometimes you just show up and shoot it, and then you never see it. It probably didn't even air in the UK or anything. Do you remember what the commercial was? I don't know. I can show you the footage. I'd love to see the footage. Do you still have the footage?
Starting point is 00:37:20 Yeah. I got most of the stuff I shot. Oh. That's really cool. It is pretty cool. It makes me respect him a little bit more when I find out he's worked on stuff I shot. Oh, that's really cool. It is pretty cool. It makes me respect him a little bit more when I find out he's worked on stuff that I now like, like F1.
Starting point is 00:37:29 Yeah, I was going to say- Why do you like F1 so much now? Have you ever watched it? Yeah. It's fucking awesome. It's a hard point to argue against. I mean, I feel like that's the answer. Yeah, it's cool.
Starting point is 00:37:40 I mean, technically, it's very cool. It's not- I find it not very fun to watch in person though i've never seen a race in person you really don't get a sense of like where the race is you just if you're on a corner you just kind of see cars pass by and you don't it really is much better televised i think i feel like most sporting events are better televised yeah i agree for a football match that's nice in person. You get the vibe. You get the cheering.
Starting point is 00:38:06 You get people standing up in front of you and not sitting down for half an hour. That was fucking annoying. Oh my God, dude. I would say it's funny because I made a joke. Gavin and I went to a, for, what was that, last Saturday, I guess? Yeah. Well, first off, we hung out in person and nothing blew up. Everything held.
Starting point is 00:38:26 There was no extra weirdness aside from I got some cucumbers given to me. Well, all right. Well, that was fucking weird. That in itself was a whole... There was a whole thing... Andrew, there's a whole thing. Did you hear about the cucumbers? No, I have no idea about the cucumbers.
Starting point is 00:38:41 Well, we should get into it because it was fascinating to me. However, yeah, we spent an entire time hanging out. And I would say it was a pretty medium, decent time. I was telling Andrew, I don't know what we would like. I don't even nothing funny happened. Nothing gross happened. Nothing weird happened. It was just a medium time.
Starting point is 00:39:04 I mean, it was nice time i had a lovely time it was me and you and emily and and millicent and we went to uh to see the the first home game of the austin fc soccer mls soccer team nothing of like face note happened which yeah means it was a good time yeah i mean i will say uh we had to we had to endure matthew mcconaughey looking like a goddamn leprechaun. That was I love that bit. He Andrew, he came out because he's a part owner of the team. Yes.
Starting point is 00:39:31 He has to, you know, McConaughey bless all of the cool thing in Austin, you know. Well, first off, he did like a like a scat type rap thing that he does, you know, where he just fucking what? Just freestyle some bullshit that sounds like some shit but means nothing. You know, he did that for a little bit about Austin and competition and fucking soccer or something. I was looking at him down there on the pitch while he was
Starting point is 00:39:56 dressed in green and slamming on his drum and I just thought, that guy was an interstellar. Yeah, dude. Then he, Gavin's not kidding, he walked out on the pitch in a bright green suit, dude. Then he, Gavin's not kidding, he walked out on the pitch in a bright green suit, like a full suit, which, by the way,
Starting point is 00:40:10 brave to do because you could green screen anything on that dude. Like he won a golf tournament. Yeah. And then, yeah, like he won a golf tournament.
Starting point is 00:40:20 Yeah. And then he played the bongos. Okay. Like seriously. It was played the bongos. Okay. Like seriously. It was just one bongos. Bong bong. Bong. Bong bong.
Starting point is 00:40:32 For an eternity. And then we got to watch the soccer game. It was great. Did they win? They tied. The first game of the entire stadium
Starting point is 00:40:42 like for real. And it was a nil nil. Yeah. It was a pretty typical soccer game. It was stadium, like for real. And it was a nil-nil. Yeah, it was a pretty typical soccer game. It was a 0-0. Wow. I was sat next to Millie and the game ended and she was like, all right, so what, we go into overtime or what? I was like, nah, that was it.
Starting point is 00:40:56 We go. She was like, wait, that happens? I was like, oh yeah, that happens all the time. Makes it really exciting when there's a goal there. You have McConaughey on more drums and nobody scores. Yeah, it's like we had that mojo working for us and we still couldn't score. I got to say though, gorgeous stadium.
Starting point is 00:41:15 Awesome that Austin finally has a pro team. Really cool experience getting to go to the first game. And it was awesome that Emily was able to put all that together for us. And I had a wonderful time. And I'm really glad that none of us broke anything. And there was no tornado or any kind of weather event. It gave me hope that maybe we could do it again someday. I mean, this all sounds fantastic.
Starting point is 00:41:36 I feel like I missed what happened with the cucumber. Where's the cucumber coming into play? Did I miss that? Okay, so I pick, Gavin shows up at my house. And as we're driving he goes uh i had a weird thing happen today and i go what's that and he goes uh somebody chucked a load of pickles on my front door in a in a bag full of brine like pickle brine and i was like you mean like a jar of lasik pickles full pickles dumped into a freezer bag ziploc shut like full of brine
Starting point is 00:42:01 and pickles and he was like yeah it's just on my front porch. And then I was like, well, you have cameras. So let's look at the cameras. He pulls up. There's no, the pickles just show up on his front door camera. It's like, it's like they just get delivered by a hand that didn't have a body. You can just see them like slide into frame and there's no one there. So we talk about this all night while we're at the we're having soccer fun right and uh oh and by the way gav there was one thing going on that i never told
Starting point is 00:42:30 you about that was distracting me all night but i'll bring it so the whole ride back to gavin's house we're gonna give him a ride home we're like do you think the pickles will be on the porch should we check we get there we run up and uh there were three giant dry ass cucumbers in a Ziploc bag that obviously came from somebody's garden. There was no, there were pickles. I don't know how Gavin got there were pickles. There was no pickle brine. There was no brine of anything. It was just three cucumbers in a bag.
Starting point is 00:42:57 In my defense, the bag was full of condensation. And I think I mistook it for, all I did, all I did really, there was a I did really, there was an Uber waiting. I just walked out my front door. I thought, that looks like a bag of pickles as I stepped over them. And then I just continued walking. I didn't touch him. I didn't really look at him.
Starting point is 00:43:14 And I asked him, surely, surely there's Emily's like, surely there was a note or something. And he's like, no, no, nothing. I walk up, I look at the cucumbers. I immediately identify they are not pickles. Look to the right, see the note, pick it up. It's like, hey, here's I look at the cucumbers. I immediately identify they are not pickles. Look to the right, see the note, pick it up. It's like,
Starting point is 00:43:28 hey, here's some cucumbers from the garden. If you don't need them, pass them on to the next neighbor. Thanks. It was both confusing glances. Everything made sense now that I had time to investigate. Also, when Gavin found the other footage, it got
Starting point is 00:43:43 interesting. I will say that. He found footage from another camera that was fascinating. It was delivered, I guess, by an elderly woman. Who Mission Impossible did. Kind of looked like a witch out of Left 4 Dead. And she was hobbling around. And she grabs the pole near that, the front of the house and kind of swings her arm around and just like
Starting point is 00:44:09 slides it onto the, onto the bit that the camera could see. She like deliberately avoided going up the steps. She just reached around the railings and put it there. So it looked like from the doorbell that no one delivered it. Gavin was right. When he texted it to me, he goes,
Starting point is 00:44:22 she has advanced angles and he couldn't have been more true. Like she totally like Ethan hunted her way across his driveway. So he like hugged the wall. She was looking over her shoulder and looking around trying to spot like, I don't know, threats. It was fucking fascinating.
Starting point is 00:44:40 And then she just disappeared into the darkness from when she came. And she did look a little like a Leopard Dead witch. He's not wrong there. And she came, like, she didn't come from the street. It looked like she came out of my own garage somehow. I don't know where she came from. She came from your backyard or wherever.
Starting point is 00:44:54 I assume she lives under the house. I don't know. Maybe they're my cucumbers and she just picked them for me. Either way, it's weird. I don't know what you want me to... I guess it's a kindness. It's like old lady kindness that doesn't exist anymore. But it is... I mean, I've never met this person.
Starting point is 00:45:11 I've never expressed excitement for foreign cucumbers. Have you ever seen a little left-footed witch hanging around your neighborhood? And to be honest, you know, at least pickle them for me or something. Does she want me to eat them as cucumbers? Or does she want me to take them the rest of the way? The note didn't specify.
Starting point is 00:45:30 You do whatever you want. Yeah. I mean, you could do, you're given, what is the current? Do you still have them? Did you pass them on? What is, where are the cucumbers? They were passed on. And I will say, the note wasn't anywhere near the back, in my defense.
Starting point is 00:45:43 It was three feet from the back. It was the only note on your porch, dude! It wasn't like it was hidden amongst all the other notes. I saw it instantly. It was a yellow post-it note. Alright, well, that's fair. You know, I'm in a hurry.
Starting point is 00:46:00 That's true, you're in a hurry. The upside, though, the wasps that survived the fan, they're now happily living back inside the fan, and I've not turned it on since, and we're just coexisting peacefully. You'll be happy to know. That's great.
Starting point is 00:46:14 I guess I am happy to know. You decided to go that route instead of removing them. I mean, they've been in there a while by the looks of it. Did you talk in the last podcast about how the crows are throwing shit at you? Oh, yeah. That was after the wasp, wasn't it? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:29 I got like ravens or something. I don't know if it's a crow or a raven. I can never really tell. It's whatever the bird is that goes, ah, ah, ah. Right? Yeah. So they're in my trees and they just squawk at me every time they see me. If I walk into the backyard, they start screaming at me.
Starting point is 00:46:48 And as soon as they can't see me, they stop. It's like peekaboo with a baby. You know, you get that immediate reaction. And if I'm under them, they'll flap about in the trees and snap branches off and throw them at me. He's not kidding. He showed me a video. It is. It sounds impossible, but it is 100 percent like it's obvious
Starting point is 00:47:08 that they are attacking him. Why? What? What? What have you done, Gavin? What curse? What has happened? Why is everything against you?
Starting point is 00:47:16 But does that explain the Raven? Why would the Raven Crow attack your death? I don't know. They're just around. Maybe it was like they had babies they were trying to protect or something but it's too late it's too late in the year i already had baby birds
Starting point is 00:47:29 like three months ago are you an expert on the the mating cycle of yes i'm an expert on the crow mating cycle maybe you should have taken the cucumbers maybe they're a peace offering maybe also based on what you said like did she how did she get the note to the door like did she make a paper plane and throw it like how do you get the paper if she just hooked was the was the note tied to the bag i assume she swung she did the weird railing move the little sort of stealth move and slid all of it and the note just blew off the bag i assume when the wind took it to the door yeah i mean that's a nice thing as an idea, but I don't want to have to carry the cucumber.
Starting point is 00:48:08 I would end up eating the cucumbers. Out of purely, I don't want to take it to the next house. Would you eat strange cucumber from someone you've never met? If my options were eat strange cucumber from someone I've never met or deliver it to the next house, I'm eating the strange cucumber. There's no other option. You to throw it away no i well i would never that'd be a waste but there needs to be a system
Starting point is 00:48:34 on the note you need to indicate like there needs to be a marking if you pass it on i want to know how many houses this has gone through how many blocks Maybe this cucumber might not even be from my neighborhood. This could be three blocks over. They might not even be from her, yeah. Yeah, I don't, I assume, it would be crazy if it was from her. I'd be shocked. I assume this has gone to multiple doors.
Starting point is 00:48:54 Oh, dude, what if it's like It Follows, and she just passed a curse on you, the curse of the cucumber, and that's why the birds are flipping out, and now you've passed it on. I hope. I hope you did it properly. I'm glad I got rid of it before I didn't even touch him Wow. Oh boy. Yeah, he's in the clear It follows the cucumber it follows curse the sequel we've always wanted
Starting point is 00:49:14 I love that the weirdness just comes from like the strange fruit, but Jeff I think was legitimately bad It was like these aren't in brine I was like that, that's not the weird part, though. That's not the strangeness. You set it up all wrong. I was It's still weird. A bag of cucumbers from a garden is not as weird as a bag of pickles in
Starting point is 00:49:38 brine. Why isn't that as weird? Who pickles? Come on, man. What do you mean? Is it just the act of like no one puts... You don't pickle shit in a bag. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:50 You don't put brine in a bag. Everyone knows this. You'd have to take it out of a jar, which is already a transportation method. I still think that only takes it from like a six weird to a seven, though. No, I feel like a bag of cucumbers is a five and is like pickles with brine in a Ziplocs like a solid eight. Yeah, it's an easy eight.
Starting point is 00:50:10 Really? It's a five to an eight, Eric? What are your thoughts? It's a huge gap because you have to take them out of the jar. It's just a weird thing. Yeah. I wanted to hear the rest of what Andrew had to say. Man, it really is.
Starting point is 00:50:23 I just don't. You said that there was condensation inside the bag? Is that what you were saying? Yeah, that was the sheen I was looking at, I think. A very small amount of condensation. I think he's overselling it. It was more when I left. Where did the condensation go?
Starting point is 00:50:37 Maybe into the cucumber. I don't know. What does everyone want from me? I'm trying to just live my life I've got beds showing up that sounds great I mean I have to believe that this is
Starting point is 00:50:54 a Jacob's Ladder situation and you are dead and we are when people talk about like simulation theory or whatever like oh we're just like living in a simulation. I think that you died or you're in a helicopter dying and you are, this is, we are just inside your head. And the woman is a demon and the cucumbers represent like you trying to get back to like the earthly realm. Like why was she she why did she look
Starting point is 00:51:26 like a witch from a video game like a dream half remembered from a video game from like long ago you know what i mean like it's too many it's too many concentric circles this is i i i am i like where eric is going with this this is definitely you are a vietnam soldier an american vietnam soldier you are bleeding out right, an American Vietnam soldier. You are bleeding out right now and they are trying to save your life and you're living, you're living the next 30 years
Starting point is 00:51:50 in your mind and we're just a part of it. Oh my God. And that lady that played the girl who turned into a demon, I think her name is Louise Pena,
Starting point is 00:51:58 she died recently too. So it's all unraveling. Huh. Interesting. Yeah, and she died, I think of, I think she died of cirrhosis. So.
Starting point is 00:52:06 Okay. I mean, in your head, I guess, because this is all, this is all invented by you. Oh, maybe she died of pickles. It all means something. If it was a different vegetable, would you have been more excited about it? Does the vegetable, is it, is the issue of you not wanting it, the weirdness of receiving it randomly? Or is it the fact that cucumber is a lower tier on the vegetable list?
Starting point is 00:52:29 Where do you put cucumber on the vegetable list? Cucumber, I mean, I feel like no one ever needs cucumber is the thing. Cucumber is always like an addition. It's never a main. And also, America has these weird stubby little cucumbers to make pickles with. But the cucumbers I like to eat are the big long ones, the ones that are like two feet long or a foot long. So I don't really know what I would have done with it.
Starting point is 00:52:52 I mean, can you eat? Do the cucumbers that turn into pickles taste the same as like an English cucumber? Yeah. I'd assume so. I mean, hey, you could put that in a salad. You always got that as an option. Sandwiches? Cucumbers are fruit. I don't think a salad is a salad you always got that as an option um sandwiches cucumbers are fruit i
Starting point is 00:53:06 don't think a salad is a salad without cucumber honestly it's a really it's a staple for me oh i disagree strongly yeah i love the cucumber man i could eat cucumber all day long that's great but i don't think they're needed for a salad as i said i feel like the salad is just the lettuce or spinach or whatever you want to put it's the canvas, and then you put whatever you want into it. Yeah, why do you never make that then? Who are you talking to? Well, why does Andrew never make the bulk standard salad? Well, I do.
Starting point is 00:53:33 I just thought for, I wanted to make the greatest salad possible to enhance the cream, potentially. Or like, I've never had this before. If I'm not going to like it in this salad, I'll never like it outside of it. Interesting. Slicing. You know what we should do? We should come up with, and I'm not saying we should do it right now
Starting point is 00:53:51 because we should put some thought into it, but we should pick a number of ingredients, like five or six or something, and then we all come up with the perfect salad in our minds, right? You pick whatever six ingredients and you create the perfect salad. I do, and then Gavin does the same, and then we can release it and then whatever six ingredients and you create the perfect salad. I do.
Starting point is 00:54:05 And then Gavin does the same. And then we can release it and then let the audience decide which is the best salad. I see. Is this for the recipe book? Could be for the recipe book, yeah. And then we call that the ultimate
Starting point is 00:54:13 like f*** face salad or something. Do we have to do it anonymously? We would have to do it anonymously. I feel like salad has the greatest range. Salad can be amazing and it can be such dog shit totally agree it's a great yeah i yeah i'm trying to think of what is a more range food i think you might be right i think it has the widest range whereas like stuff like eggs eggs could be like okay or good but that you
Starting point is 00:54:37 well maybe that's a bad example no but i think it's a good example it can also it's an appetizer or it's a meal a main however, however you want to present it. It's got a lot of flexibility. Yeah. I feel the same way about honey mustard. I feel like that's the condiment wide range. There's such a variety of honey mustard flavors. More so than any other condiment, you can go place to place and have wildly different
Starting point is 00:54:57 tasting experiences. I'd be willing to bet this is the fifth face that you've mentioned honey mustard. You really like honey mustard. You really do. Yeah. It comes up a lot. Well, we did a, we did a sauce thing. is the fifth face that you've mentioned honey mustard you really like honey mustard you really do yeah it comes up a lot well we did a we did a sauce thing and i don't know if i'd say it comes up a lot what was the last mention of honey mustard when i wanted to make honey mustard that was a long time ago like probably 20 30 episodes ago no way no it's in the last 10 it's in the last you brought up things that have wide variety i think honey mustard is wide variety
Starting point is 00:55:23 i was just trying to think other next week i'm gonna talk about something brown nobody's nobody's disagreeing we're just pointing out that it comes up a lot I don't feel like it does I think it's just memorable when I bring it up I think it's a great topic that everybody enjoys do we always engage really well with your honey yeah you do I always get a text after on those episodes so that was a great show so I'm trying to I'm sprinkling in honey mustard conversations. Yeah, you do. I always get a text after on those episodes, so that was a great show. So I'm trying to, I'm sprinkling in honey mustard whenever I can. It really elevates. The one thing they all have in common.
Starting point is 00:55:49 Much like the condiment. Yeah. It elevates the dish. It elevates the show. Little honey mustard top. Do you think I should start, I should become a better neighbor and start dumping food on my neighbor's doorsteps?
Starting point is 00:55:59 That's such a great question. I don't know how you, I don't know what the cucumber rebuttal would be. Well, I think you get something that you grew in your own garden. I think you have, well, here's the problem. You don't know where she lives. Is she to your left or right? The last person that did it.
Starting point is 00:56:13 She's from my garage. She came from under the house. She might be a sleestack. Huh. I think how do you do this in a way that isn't like an invasion of privacy it'd be interesting to like put one thing to the left of you one thing to the right of you and see how far it gets both ways do you like a race of sorts I would I bet you that is almost like a competition
Starting point is 00:56:40 itself we have to pick the shittiest vegetable we could think of and see how far it can get and whoever gets the furthest wins like a like a game of like vegetable telephone yeah exactly like i don't i would never pick like carrots or potatoes are not getting past two houses why because people are gonna eat them yeah people are gonna like those items those are like commonly used great vegetables does it have to be can it be a like i bet i could get a branston pickle jar really far i bet that would travel that no one's gonna want that no people are gonna throw that away because they don't trust it they're just gonna nobody knows what it is and it's like store bot yeah i don't think you can do store bot i think it has to be it can't be fruit because it just bruises it has to be like a vegetable with some durability. You're not going to fucking deal with apples in a bag, Jeff.
Starting point is 00:57:27 Like, let's just, we can't do fruit. What about a swede? What's a swede? Yeah, what is that? That's a root veg, isn't it? No idea what it is. Don't know. No clue.
Starting point is 00:57:36 Never heard of it. A Swedish person? Swede. Oh, let me see. Swede. Swede veg. Why do we talk about vegetables so much? I don't know. You bring it a swede. Swede veg. Why do we talk about vegetables so much? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:57:46 You bring it up every week. It's a cross between a cabbage and a turnip. Oh, you call it a rutabag. What the hell? Hold on, hold on, hold on. Damn it, Andrew. Sorry. How were you going to say that?
Starting point is 00:57:59 I'm excited. It's a fun word. I was going to say, it doesn't matter, because Andrew told me that it's root. I was going to it doesn't matter because Andrew told me that it's root I was gonna say rutabaga what's a rutabaga a rutabaga it's a root vegetable it's a swede wait how do you spell your version write it out I want to see what this looks like because rutabaga yeah it's not
Starting point is 00:58:25 Swedish turnip isn't it I don't know if it's from Sweden rutabaga is such a better name I don't know but it's great it's fun when you say rutabaga you know what you're talking about you don't have to go away some woman on the street would come up to me
Starting point is 00:58:42 I want to talk to you about rutabagas and I'd be like cool cool, what's that? She'd tell me to go shove it up my ass. Rutabagas. I don't even think I like Rutabagas, but it's just exciting to hear. When I hear a Rutabagas in the mix, yeah, I'm amped about it.
Starting point is 00:58:59 I want it. Rutabagas is fucking awesome. Rutabagas. I don't know if I've had a Rutabaga. Okay. This comes from a Swedish... This comes from the Swedish dialectal word rotabaggy. From root and
Starting point is 00:59:15 lump. Bag. Root lump. Dude, call it root lumps. that's way better than either root lump is going to a different city nobody's touching yeah i'm bagging up my root lumps and i'm putting them on the neighbor's doorstep and they're going far i wonder if you could if they can if you could have a vegetable so undesirable that it makes its way back to you. Like all the way around the...
Starting point is 00:59:49 Like a circle, like all the way around the neighborhood. It goes out to the left and it comes in from the right. It can go north all the way to Texas. Yeah. Oh my God. Do you know what's awesome about this episode? Because we're going to have to do another one right after this. And I was afraid we wouldn't have anything to talk about. I didn't talk about any of my god. Do you know what's awesome about this episode? Because we're going to have to do another one right after this. And I was afraid we wouldn't have anything to talk about.
Starting point is 01:00:08 I didn't talk about any of my shit. This is... That's great. I had no idea we were going to go so heavy into rutabagas. This is awesome. We went from sleestacks to rutabagas. Was it you, Jeff, who thought Andre 3000 was saying sleestacks in that song? Yeah, it still sounds like it to me.
Starting point is 01:00:25 Keep your heart three... Keep your heart Slee-stacks. Slee-stacks. Keep your heart Slee-stacks. That's still how I sing it. Yeah. These girls are smart, Slee-stack. Keep your heart Slee-stack.
Starting point is 01:00:36 Yeah. He's into science fiction and stuff. We should wrap this up. All right. We gotta do one more. Well, you've done it again you've listened to another hour of the face podcast uh hour and five minutes today hey we appreciate that thanks for doing it why would you say that i mean certainly it's gonna get edited it's gonna be less than what you just said why would you call out what the lifetime well that's a good point we're
Starting point is 01:01:02 definitely cutting out the jack shit that never never happened. The Jack stuff is great. I think it's even better that we cut him out. He's going to be waiting to... But we should leave this bit in. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The part we referenced. Absolutely. Alright, well, let's stop doing this. The audience, you don't...
Starting point is 01:01:22 Well, here's what's going to happen. We're all going to stop, hit stop, and then we're going to hit start and we're going to fucking do another podcast right now. But you you're going to go to wherever you listen to podcasts, probably like iTunes or Spotify or some shit. And then you're going to enter in the longest, most verbose, most glowing review of face or you won't. I don't give a shit.
Starting point is 01:01:44 No, we do. It'd be nice if you did. We'd rather you did. We do care. That'd be. Yeah, but I don't want to tell you what to do don't give a shit no we do it'd be nice if you did we'd rather you did we do care that'd be yeah but I don't want to tell you what to do you do whatever you want to do
Starting point is 01:01:49 if you do you want to do if the mood strikes you write a review give us some stars maybe bag up some root vegetables and give me the neighbor you know yeah I don't know maybe
Starting point is 01:02:00 don't maybe don't try to maybe don't try to break into the Pentagon to put them on their front porch maybe just walk up the steps that are there and don't be don't try to maybe don't try to break into the Pentagon to put them on their front porch. Maybe just walk up the steps that are there and don't be all secretive about it. Or maybe do freak them out. I don't think you know that there's a difference between not giving a shit and being open to people doing what they want. Those are two very different things.
Starting point is 01:02:19 I don't know. Are they? I'm not. I'm not their boss. I can make suggestions, but I can't. But then it's like, who am I to tell you what to I can make suggestions, but I can't. But then it's like, who am I to tell you what to do? You do whatever you want to do.
Starting point is 01:02:30 I mean, you are the host of the show. You know what? We haven't had a show that wouldn't end properly in the whole of season two. Oh, that's true. We're back at it. We've had the yelling. This is the... I guess this is not... Year two, not season two.
Starting point is 01:02:39 No, that's a good question, though. We're definitely in year two, but have we had an episode that wouldn't end in season two? Season two is a little longer than year two. I think so, because season two has been good for over 20 episodes, I think. Well, here, let me tease what I want to talk about next week. I'd like to talk about... I had sort of a shit triangle happen
Starting point is 01:02:57 in the last couple days, but it has led me to a new understanding of my place in the universe. And I'm pretty... I'm okay with it. Are you dead as well? in the universe and I'm pretty I'm okay with it are you dead as well no no I'm not dead on the
Starting point is 01:03:09 inside maybe a little bit and you can find out more on the next episode of face goodbye he's right and tune in next week when I'll talk about my tooth and what happened to
