Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a Rooster Teeth production. I think the Dictionary Kid might be a young owl. Yeah, oh, I was thinking like an open book. I also, I don't want it to be an owl because something about Dictionary Kid is very stabable on the topic of life. It's a very stabable persona. Nobody wants to stab the Dictionary Kid. No, well, you know,
Starting point is 00:00:34 remember in Tomorrow, uh, Tomorrow Never Dies? Is that the Bond movie? With the last, he'll know. This fucking guy will know. Gavin, what was the last Bond movie with Brosnan? Tomorrow Never Dies? Die Another Day. Die Another Day. He, what was the last Bond movie with Brosnan? Tomorrow Never Dies? Die Another Day. Die Another Day.
Starting point is 00:00:47 She fucking goes to stab the lady, and she's got a Bible in her jacket, and it stabs the Bible, and then she puts the Bible, and she kicks the Bible into the villain. So what you're saying is the dictionary kid has natural immunity to stabbing. I think so, yeah, based on...
Starting point is 00:01:03 You're talking about getting stabbed? Well, it's a whole thing with knives. I missed, uh, does Eric still do his previously on for us to listen to? I forgot to record. Now I'm gonna record. Eric, what happened last time? You weren't recording? I am now. The last episode was
Starting point is 00:01:19 108. I wasn't here, so I'm going off of Nick's notes. Oh, there are a lot of them. Yeah. You went long. Wow. Wow. What a shock. I can't believe that. No way. Talked about Jeff listening to episode 107. Talked about
Starting point is 00:01:35 Clip Paranoia. Talked about the Tuxedo Tuxedo. Fuckstick Grown Tubes. Meow Wolf Spelling Bees. And what you actually call a group of podcasters. This is episode 109 take it away we've got Eric telling us what happened last week when he has no idea
Starting point is 00:01:50 didn't we bleep that one thing I don't know the tuxedo thing yeah didn't we bleep the tuxedo yeah we did because we wanted to do it. But then in last week's episode, we talk about it.
Starting point is 00:02:08 Do we have any update on the tuxedo? Do we have a tuxedo? We can get a tuxedo, but the tuxedo. No, I don't have any update right now. When is that for auction? Like five days from now. We better get on it. Hello, and welcome
Starting point is 00:02:23 to another episode of the F*** Face Podcast. My name is Jeff Ramsey. With me as always, Gavin Free, Andrew Panton. On the ones and the zeros, Nick and Eric. This is episode 109 of season four, year three, volume one. Gavin, I already asked the other two, but let me ask you,
Starting point is 00:02:44 does my voice sound at all different or weird to you uh but maybe a bit more nasal ah fuck I knew it okay hold on a second um Andrew if it happens five days from now that means the next episode hasn't come out yet I mean that means it's out and that means
Starting point is 00:02:59 people will be able to snipe us for it I don't mmm maybe my math is wrong I'll have to look it soon it might be important it is very i've been pushing this for weeks i would argue that i'm the one that has held this with the most important but you went you did a whole spiel last week about how it already would have happened and blah blah blah well it's possible that i did the math wrong in the moment that's very possible and if so please don't snipe us but this would already come out after it doesn't.
Starting point is 00:03:25 It's pointless. What is even the point of this conversation? No, this is correcting here. No, look. Telling them to do something in this episode is pointless. But you talked like it's up to us now whether to cut it from the last one as well. Can a man not make a mistake, Gavin?
Starting point is 00:03:38 I made a mistake. The time was incorrect. I didn't know the time. What do you mean? Well, I don't understand what's happening right now. I thought you're mad at me because I'm allowing them's not too late. I didn't know the date. It's not too late. Figure it out. What do you mean? I don't understand what's happening right now. I thought you were mad at me because I'm allowing them to snipe us, but we're still not even on the field. We don't even know if we have a clearance to land.
Starting point is 00:03:54 They can't snipe what's not there. We might not be there. It hasn't happened yet, you utter fool. I'm saying it's still in our hands. You haven't dropped the ball yet. You're still in the process of dropping it. What are we talking about? I feel like Eric brings up a good point we are a time travel podcast so you have Andrew
Starting point is 00:04:10 what don't you understand I thought you were saying that I said it if it's five days from now the episode oh no never mind I've worked it out we're good we're good okay we're good when's the auction five days from now I think maybe that's when the episode comes out though yeah but it's 8 a.m's the auction? Five days from now, I think. Maybe. That's when the episode comes out, though. Yeah, but it's 8 a.m. The auction's at 8 a.m. There's no way the amount of people that'll listen 8 a.m. Is that a Wednesday or Tuesday?
Starting point is 00:04:31 The podcast comes out at 3 a.m. Technically, well, what day is five days from now? Where did you get 8 a.m.? Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Just say when the auction is. Monday, Tuesday. I think it might be Tuesday. That's limited. get 8am Saturday Sunday just say when the auction is Monday Tuesday I think it might be Tuesday that's limited
Starting point is 00:04:47 only first people can listen at that point so it's fine you mean the most devoted fans? oh you know that's one way to phrase it
Starting point is 00:04:56 the most rabid of comment leavers and regulation listeners I think we'll be okay my point is honestly we don't even have a clearance
Starting point is 00:05:03 to land I'm not worried about getting sniped if we're not on the battlefield. We need to be able to be on the battlefield. That's my concern. So, well, this has already happened at this point. So what you're talking about is we're going to try and bid on the tuxedo from the tuxedo, but the auction is the same day an episode comes out where you talk about getting the tuxedo from the tuxedo.
Starting point is 00:05:23 So we could be in a massive bidding war with regulation listeners. We could be, but we don't even have a clearance to land yet. So I think we need to relax on that. Can we do it? I don't know what part. I don't know what you think changed in the last three minutes. Oh, did you already say we couldn't do it? Like, what do you think?
Starting point is 00:05:41 Just out of curiosity, what do you think happened from the last time I was asked, can we do this? Do you think it's right now five days from now? Or what do you think happened? Are we truly a time travel podcast? What's going on? I didn't hear your response three minutes ago. What was it?
Starting point is 00:05:58 I'm trying to get it. We're trying. He's got five days to get it. Cut him some slack. Yeah. We'll figure it out. But we still need got five days to get it. Cut him some slack. Yeah. But we still need to decide whether we cut it. Forget it. I've done.
Starting point is 00:06:10 No, no. Ask me again in 15 minutes to see if anything changed from three minutes ago. You got it, man. That's a great point. Gav, I think you're right. We do have to make the decision, but we have some time to play with it. We have another, what, 45 minutes of this podcast. Let's punt it so that future time to play with it we have another what 45 minutes of this podcast let's punt it so that future us can deal with it current us take a load off let's not bother with
Starting point is 00:06:30 it anymore all right let's chill out episode one and i'm just talking about uh well i think we're talking about the tuxedo we're talking about knives i asked is every knife serrated i didn't know what serrated means before you joined i was learning about that because I hear like a serrated edge. Do you feel like there's too many words to describe an edge? Well, what other words do we got? I don't know. I feel like serrated, corrugated. It's all just like wibbly metal. What's a corrugated?
Starting point is 00:06:58 Well, corrugated is like... What? What is a corrugated edge? Well, it's not really an edge, but it's more of just like how metal is, or how like cardboard is, isn't it? It's like a... Yeah. ...bobbly up and downy.
Starting point is 00:07:11 What? I love that you... Your whole thesis was, do you think there are too many ways to describe an edge, and then you listed serrated and something that's never associated with an edge. Yeah, I guess corrugated is always the entire thing through. You would never just never associated with an edge. Yeah, I guess cargated is always the entire thing through. You would never just cargate an edge. Yeah. Yeah, you know what? I'm fine with the amount of words we call
Starting point is 00:07:32 edge. I mean, you've got dull, you've got serrated, you've got jagged, you've got sharp, rusty, and that's about it. That play. Well, rusty is like an effect on the the whole thing i guess it could be a rusty edge i feel like that's the thing i've heard sounds like a wrestling move like the rusty edge the top rope hit him with the rusty edge rusty edge sounds like a wrestler yeah just is it edge
Starting point is 00:07:59 just like out of out of work edge that is alter ego rusty edge yeah i read the funniest comment on the last podcast from uh ania888 said comment lever here just want to say this is probably my most paused podcast due to needing to laugh thank you also on another note is there a program for rebecoming a regulation listener like born again regulation listener i like the idea of a comment lever wanting to somehow scrub the fact that they've left the comment and whether there's an official program to re-enter regulation listener i think it's so interesting that comment lever has such a negative association with it when it's not at all a negative thing i think that's the answer apparently as especially considering now that just an a fucking human to
Starting point is 00:08:49 human conversation is a comment apparently so it's like every every interaction you've had with another human being in your entire life makes you a comment lever so i don't know why people would be so freaked out about being comment levers i can't stand my fucking voice no it's different though eric had a point it is weird to just go out of your way and leave a comment on other content but you know i'm saying that from being one so i think it's fine i turned out all right did you yeah i mean you know variety of edges i think you turned out great you know all the words for edges i don't think he does i think he knew one word for edge and then he knew corrugated metal. I think he was the worst in that regard. Well, my favorite part about that is
Starting point is 00:09:28 I had no idea what corrugated mean, and he revealed that it wasn't an edge. He could have just kept it going. Like, the fact I would have never challenged him. You could have told me anything. I'd have no idea. I could have lied to you about edges. Oh, you could have absolutely lied.
Starting point is 00:09:40 You still don't know what corrugated is, do you? No, I have no clue. I'm going to send you a picture of corrugated metal, and no i've no clue not even the slightest picture of corrugated metal and you'll see and you'll i told such a great lie yesterday that makes me so happy uh we're talking about uh thanksgiving and canada has a different thanksgiving uh than america it's in october as opposed to november and they asked like oh so like are there any traditional canadian norms and i just said that we have goose instead of turkey every year and instead of mashed potatoes it's like yam mashed
Starting point is 00:10:09 potatoes and they were all in on this they're convinced that canada people eat goose every every year makes me happy that that's just what they're gonna think until they're challenged by it can you eat moose i feel like that would be a really tough meat to eat. Oh, there you go, Andrew. Just posted some. Like a tin roof? That's corrugated metal. That's corrugated. Okay.
Starting point is 00:10:31 It's got waves. Got it. So if it has waves, it's corrugated. Yeah. Awesome. I just read what Eric wrote above that. Is that a recent comment? When did he write that?
Starting point is 00:10:39 He just wrote it. I wrote it just now. Eric has a tuxedo update. Go ahead. We have approval. Yeah! We need to make it a joke. Eric has a tuxedo update. Go ahead. We have approval. Yeah! We need to make it count.
Starting point is 00:10:51 There are caveats and details that we can get into later. Oh, Jesus. But we are approved for... What's our credit limit? That's what we got to get into. Andrew said that it takes six days to get approved on the website, so we need to get going on that. I assume, Eric, you. Go for it. With the credit card and ability. And what is the estimated
Starting point is 00:11:09 price? I believe it was $2,000. They estimated going for $2,000. $2,000 to $3,000. I feel like a lot of the time they massively underestimate. Well, I think it depends on the thing, because I was doing some research. I was looking at other things, and they had like a Zoolander 2 auction, and so many of the items didn't have a bid on them like only a handful
Starting point is 00:11:28 did i don't think the tuxedo from the tuxedo is going to be that high demand well there's also the buyer's premium which is like a percentage on top of the final sale so you gotta remember dude shut up shut up about that stuff all right the only people that are going to be buying a tuxedo from the tuxedo are face regulation listeners or comment leavers i'm convinced i don't think that there's a enough of a large tuxedo tuxedo following out there maybe it maybe somebody who wants to like wants to backdoor into a versace suit and this is how they're going to do it but that's i can't imagine people are lining up to get their hands on it. I bet.
Starting point is 00:12:05 It does none of the stuff it pretends to do in the movie. I guarantee you. Oh, definitely not. And it has giant holes in the back for a harness. It's great. I don't think a caveat has ever been fun. Nobody's been, and there's a caveat, free pizza. Like, it's always, it's terrible.
Starting point is 00:12:22 You never want to hear that there's a caveat. You want, like, a's a caveat you want like a a positive caveat i want like a little twist yeah caveat could just be like a little positive twist but it's never used that way hmm there's one exception all of the drinks are free one little caveat one unexpected twist this talking about like serrated and learning things i had a thought yesterday and i don't know how this works i you don't know how thoughts work well i know how thoughts work i have plenty of those uh glasses i never i had an association of that glasses people wear and drink glasses i assume are made
Starting point is 00:13:00 of glass of the same glass with some some differences, I would also assume. Could you have prescription drink glasses? Could you have the prescription of your glasses be drinkable glasses? Yes. Is that possible? Yes. Yeah, that's a thing that could exist? I can't imagine why not.
Starting point is 00:13:20 I don't understand the question. Well, because you have glasses you wear, and then people are like, I need a glass for a drink. So you're saying a wearable pair of glasses that are like shot glasses? No, just like glasses that match your prescription. If you look through the glass,
Starting point is 00:13:37 it's the same prescription as what you wear. Yeah, that makes total sense to me. Yeah, but from how close? Doesn't it depend on the distance from your eye? Does it? I don't know. I also don't know. I'm asking these questions.
Starting point is 00:13:49 Does anybody wear glasses? I'm supposed to, but I just choose not to. I was talking about this. Eric does. I do, Eric. Does it matter how close to your eyes the glasses are? Well, yeah, because the lenses are a little bit rounded and like they sit on your face a certain way. So, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:11 Like, yeah. Like if you ever look through a magnifying glass and then you pull it away from you and it sort of like inverts and goes the other way. It's like, OK, so what if the glass, the cup or the glass? Well, well, it's not a cup. And I would never touch a glass. But for the purposes of this, you take the glass. It's just like a like a normal the glass. Well, it's not a cup. I would never touch a glass, but for the purposes of this, you take the glass. It's just like a normal pint glass. But on the inside, on the bottom, where you would set it down on the ground, it's concave a little bit.
Starting point is 00:14:34 So you can put it up to your eye. You just put it approximately to where your eye would be, and it functions as glasses. I think that could 100% exist. In the underneath of it, not down it. Yeah, or through the side, maybe. Yeah, the side or the bottom is what I was thinking. The side. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:53 Because that could be useful for reading a menu. You could be like, oh, I don't need glasses. I'm just going to hold mine and take a sip and look at the... And they might not even know. I did read just enough of this dr pepper i i have absolutely dreadful long distance vision but i just never wear glasses because i feel like i'm only inconveniencing myself and the inconvenience of wearing glasses it's annoying it's annoying for how my nose is my unbreakable nose does not hold glass as well so I just go glassless and I can't see anything at a distance but up close if I was a nearsighted person I
Starting point is 00:15:30 think that's the term for it and you can't see or is it hmm I feel like shot glasses are the way to go there because you could actually wear them as a pair of glasses on the front of your face and I don't do that and I can't see that anyone's invented that yet I don, but why would you want that? You could take them off your face and do shots if you wanted. Oh, but then you could get like alcohol in your eye. That seems like a bad idea. Like the traces of it.
Starting point is 00:15:55 Yeah. No, it'd be on the other side. Dangerous. It'd be on the other side. And also alcohol is sterile, right? It'd just clean your eyes. Oh, it's the other way. Okay.
Starting point is 00:16:03 Now I'm on board. This is the only problem is if it rains you're gonna have a real issue yeah just like that problem on a rainy day you need to always have an umbrella with you at all times just don't look at risk that what's that in the sky i I can't look. I wore my wrong glasses today. I can't risk it. I wore my shot glasses today. I can't look up. I got a little smudge on my glass.
Starting point is 00:16:33 I just need to look up for a moment. Hopefully there's a drizzle. I'd love to clean these. Oh, man. The sky is your dishwasher. I hope somebody makes those. That would have been a good uniform if we were in our pitching phase oh yeah we could you know hold on to that uh by the way that's being uh copywritten right now tm registered and we're filing for the patent for it right now over
Starting point is 00:17:00 a uniform don't worry about it don't get your grubby little hands on it outside of Uniform Industries. We're taking care of it. Speaking of stuff I wanted to make that we're probably not going to make, I thought it would be really funny to make a Vibe Inspector shirt, but everybody reminded me pretty quickly that it just sounds like one of those spring break female body inspector shirts, so I guess we're not going to do it. Can we talk about that last time?
Starting point is 00:17:23 I think we did. Well, we'll just cut this then. No, you can't cut it. I didn't remember that. No, you gotta keep it in. That's not your fault, Jeff. That's Eric's fault. He didn't recap enough. Yeah, I wasn't in the recap. Yeah, I'm so...
Starting point is 00:17:39 Hey, Jeff, I'm so sorry. Hey, man, that's okay. Let's not make this short, though. Because the vibe inspector was in reference to a house, right? Like a home inspector, yeah. I really, I feel like, but maybe that's just like a culture journalist at that point. Are they vibing? Like, I feel like you could go beyond just houses.
Starting point is 00:17:59 You could do music and movies and all sorts of things. Well, one would assume, yeah, you'd be able to branch out. Like a sommelier of vibes for all sorts of scenarios. A vibe sommelier. A vibe sommelier, yeah. Because sometimes you might have a movie watch, like a get-together of friends, and somebody picks a bad movie and just throws the whole vibe off.
Starting point is 00:18:21 It's important to have a vibe sommelier in certain positions. I didn't see, talking about great vibe movies, I watched The Long Kiss Goodnight two days ago. Finally. One of my favorite directors,
Starting point is 00:18:35 Renny Harlan. What a fucking, what a vibe. Didn't we talk about that recently too? Yeah. We talked about it a while ago. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:18:42 he's my favorite bad director. It's the Geena Davis, Sam Jackson. It is right that's great yeah it's sleepwalking schlock larry king is in it at the end that was like an all-time i was clapping at the screen it's a great surprise you never expect larry dave or larry king and the final act um there's i think the the quiet best moment of the movie is somebody tries to kill the main character in her home. And she's got like this seven year old daughter and he shoots an RPG at her and he misses and it blows a hole into their house. And Gina Davis, the main character, fucking grabs her daughter like she's a sack and throws her out of the house to just avoid comment.
Starting point is 00:19:23 But she throws her as far as, it's like a 60 yard throw. It's like a Hail Mary bomb. And this kid just goes flying out the house and you don't see her again until like 40 minutes into the movie. She's totally fine. She just vanishes.
Starting point is 00:19:37 It's like she got thrown to a different state and she had to walk. I like the idea of throwing someone later into the movie. Like she was in 20 minutes and threw her into 40 minutes. It's a terrible good movie. It's so bad. It's just wonderful.
Starting point is 00:19:54 Another hit. They do some weird things. I think I haven't seen it since I saw it in the theater, but I remember really enjoying it. Wasn't there some ice? Was there an ice scene or ice skating or something? There's a of snow yeah there is she goes skating with her daughter and they do this really weird thing so she's like a secret agent and then she gets amnesia yeah but for a while they pretend that she has split personalities and that the agent is an alternate personality to
Starting point is 00:20:20 what she currently has and she can't remember what happens when she goes back in the agent mode and so like they're skating with her daughter and she falls over and the daughter is like i'm scared and then she goes into agent mode and it's like listen you shit you're gonna fucking get up and you're never gonna fall again you worthless sack of just human child uselessness and then she like I don't even know what I said like she's in a treehouse later she comes back and the daughter 90s winter soldier she was yeah it's a great example
Starting point is 00:20:53 it's terrible don't you wish you could get away with that in real life what do you mean like just just berate somebody and then five minutes later go I have no idea what you're talking about that was not me i don't i don't know like even in the context of the movie it's not like void of consequences it's the implication is like my daughter fucking hates me and i don't know why i don't know what i did
Starting point is 00:21:17 yeah but your kids are gonna hate you regardless for something that's a fair point might as well give a reason it's a great argument but that would be if you're looking for as i'm not going to claim to be a vibe somalia but if you need a dumb action movie watch that i feel like it's kind of obscure at this point long kiss good night pretty good yeah pretty good dumb action would you throw it into our mvpedo pile? No, I don't think it's that. I think it's too good. Yeah, like it's... It's too good. Plus, we have Don't Forget Day of the Dolphin or whatever.
Starting point is 00:21:51 Or Dolphin Day. We just keep adding movies. I can't wait for us to actually watch it. Days of Dolphin Thunder. Apparently, I have to buy something from each of these movies afterwards anyway. So, we can't watch too many. Oh, I'd be so fucking cool to own the skateboard that the monkey rode in mvp2 so collectible so can andrew is this a point where we can talk about that thing that you and i were discussing
Starting point is 00:22:12 yeah absolutely i think that's fair yeah so we could have brought it up last time we had an idea well i didn't want to i don't well we had an idea for a fun thing to do uh gavin and i wanted to present to you uh so like when we go and do well, if we ever do like live shows or maybe not even for that, just as its own thing, I feel like what we do at face is we collect hilarious stories of funny things that we encounter or that we discover around the world. Like Bussey is a great example. Here we got a hockey player who was traded for a bus, right? It doesn't get any funnier than that.
Starting point is 00:22:46 Billy Ripken and the baseball bat. Yada, yada, yada. All that. And we were thinking, wouldn't it be cool if we could display that in some way? And that, like, almost like a Ripley's Believe It or Not. But what if we called it a face? Believe it, because why not? And then we just, right? It just rolls off the tongue. Believe it, because why not and then right believe it because why not right because we're
Starting point is 00:23:10 not trying to lie to you uh what do we have to gain by this and we create it's like a little mini art gallery museum that we can take with us and set up and it's got like the tuxedo is is the main thing right you go and And Andrew was even saying we could even have a little gift shop at the end and you can buy a shirt that just has a picture of a tuxedo on it that says,
Starting point is 00:23:30 I saw it. And treat it like a really big deal. And then we could do like, I could project until I can build it. I could project like the Don Pedro project up on the wall with a projector.
Starting point is 00:23:41 And we could have like all the funny little weird foibles and oddities that we amass uh and that we invent over time and just really celebrate it in this museum setting and then charge people like 50 cents to come in or something ripkins believe it why not you have just created my new favorite part of this jeff the concept of having like a tour guide tell stories yeah the attitude of like fuck off if you don't i don't give a shit what you don't believe this fuck you i don't care fucking leave then we're not trying to lie
Starting point is 00:24:10 i gain nothing by this lie why would i lie about this is our reputation yeah i'd love this this is great anyway we just thought that would be we're just amassing so many funny little things like someday maybe we could get a piece of the bus and then we could put it up on uh like on a pedestal and then have the story and you could get like a little put headphones on and listen to andrew tell the bussy story or have an aggressive tour guide to explain it to you i never even considered that bus might still be out there that bus probably exists in some form somewhere dude i would love to track that bus i was thinking along similar lines i was was watching The Price is Right the other day with Emily. Not like
Starting point is 00:24:48 New Price is Right with Drew Carey, but like an old-ass like 80, it was like 83 with, there's like a Price is Right channel that's always got it on on TV. And with Bob Barker, when he was still old, even in like 1980, he was still phenomenal. In some
Starting point is 00:25:04 ways, he looked older in 1983 than he did in happy gilmore i don't know how he did that uh but anyway uh and you see people win like a pontiac fierro and then you think like is that still out there like is somebody still driving around uh that award vehicle is somebody still using a jet ski or a bedroom set or an electric toothbrush probably not but you know or like lawn furniture or you know what i mean or like a hot tub surely something somebody won on a game show in like 1987 is still is still in use and turned out to be like the best winning ever you can't throw away something that you want on television unless it's like a built-in kitchen or something that fell apart. Dude, I think almost all of that stuff goes away pretty quickly.
Starting point is 00:25:51 I think people get rid of it almost immediately. I also feel like, isn't there a thing where you have to pay for like... You have to pay taxes on it. You have to pay the taxes on it immediately to get it. So I wonder how many of those are like, you can either have this hot tub or a prize amount of this value like it's a very american thing to pay tax on a prize i think it's the same lottery isn't it whereas yeah uh an english lottery is just you get a load of money i think it's like it's probably similar to like i read this a few years ago so i don't know if
Starting point is 00:26:19 it's still true but um on hell's kitchen that uh gordon ram Ramsay TV show where he you know, they people compete to be an apprentice and then you get to be a head chef at one of his restaurants around the world. I think I think I read this is around like maybe season 12 or 13 that no one had ever actually done the job. Like it always fell through every time because of visas or because of like arrest records or because of just like the Gordon Ramsay team didn't respond and just like dropped it. Like people get the prize money, but they never actually get to do the other part of the prize, which makes me think that probably most game shows and award shows and all those things are largely bullshit. It's terrible. Yeah. Like, oh, you're going to go be the head chef at gordon ramsay steakhouse in lake tahoe no you're not you're gonna get 150 grand and maybe you get out to go out there for
Starting point is 00:27:11 two weeks but yeah the idea of winning a job is comical in itself it is 100 winning 100 work i'm sure a lot of people are probably faced with it too they're like say what now i i wanted to be on tv i didn't want to actually move across the country i got a kid in school you know but uh I'm sure a lot of people are probably faced with it, too. They're like, say what now? I wanted to be on TV. I didn't want to actually move across the country. I got a kid in school, you know, but but yeah, so I think I would love to know if any comment lever or regulation listener who has a family member who ever won something on a television show, are they still using it? Do they still have access to it? Yeah, kind of like, oh, where are they now?
Starting point is 00:27:44 But just like, where is it now where is it yeah speaking of winning a job richard branson tried to do his own version of the apprentice in like the early thousands and i loved it it was ridiculous where it was like all these executives and somebody's gonna become some sector of virgin or something like they're gonna be high up in the company and it would be like okay so to prove this you're going to have to walk between two floating air balloons and we're this is going to prove that like you're tough and like you're you're good under pressure like it was these physical challenges that had nothing to do with business weirdly constructed to be like no this is how actually this reflects into the business world you want to sit on our board do a backflip yeah and so they get to the finale and he's like congratulations you've won but there's a twist the prize amount is half a million dollars i have this coin we can flip a coin and if you guess what
Starting point is 00:28:39 side it will land on you will get one million dollars or you can just take the current prize money as is if you if you flip and it's wrong you lose everything or you can double your money essentially take the money and the guy like they went to a commercial break to try to build tension like this is like a 15 minute he was talking to other contestants about it they really built it up and then he's like you know what like i really appreciate obviously a million dollars is awesome but it's just too much to risk and then he said no and richard branson was like you're a genius you passed the final test if you would have said yes you would have lost everything because it's important to know in business when you should and shouldn't take like it was a complete bullshit twist i always wondered if he said yes like would
Starting point is 00:29:24 the show just end with no winner? Because he designated, he beat somebody else. Or would they reshoot it? Richard Branson would have said, you just passed the test. To truly succeed in business, you have to be fearless. You have to take risks. Whether you win or lose this coin flip, it shows that you've got the balls and the moxie to be a CEO or whatever. It was designed to win.
Starting point is 00:29:46 It was ridiculous. It was a 20-minute thing that they built up and had no point to it what would you have done i think i definitely would have flipped the coin almost undeniably really well okay let me reflect let me change this prior to when we flip coins on this show and i went one for like 32 i probably would have flipped in this world in which we've done that now no way yeah i wouldn't have fired you no i'm not gonna flip i mean going from zero to half a million is almost the same as going from zero to a million yeah that's the it's the worst there are some other reality show i watch where at the end they could win a million dollars or risk it all and everybody like would risk it all or i guess the first guy risked it all.
Starting point is 00:30:26 And he's like, yeah, I'm doing this for my family. So my kid can go to college. And he was barely off and he got nothing. Like it turned really depressing. The game show. It's like supposed to be a fun watch people win money. And seeing people lose large amounts getting caught up in the moment was devastating. Yes.
Starting point is 00:30:41 President. His kid wasn't going to go to million dollar college. Like, yeah, you know what I mean? Yeah, that sucks. devastating yes the president his kid wasn't gonna go to million dollar college like yeah you know what i mean yeah that sucks if we if we pretended to do the coin flip now and you picked correctly would you be annoyed uh no just that it wasn't real well what do you mean like if we were like do the what yeah like eric flip the coin now you call it andrew for a million dollars do you think you think you'd get it? I think I would get it. I'm feeling pretty strong. Eric, do you have a coin?
Starting point is 00:31:08 Gavin, you're British. Can you be Richard Branson? Oh, Eric, it's a thing. Okay, we have a feed. I hope you're rolling on this. I'm watching. Gavin, do you want to do all the Britishisms of it? Like, give all the patter and then tell me when to flip?
Starting point is 00:31:23 Yeah. Alright, Andrew. You got half a million. Want a million? You got to flip a coin. Over to Eric. Tails. I'm going to go with tails. Let's go with tails.
Starting point is 00:31:35 It's always tails. This is heads. Why do you have that coin? Because it's from some other time we flipped coins. There was another thing in the show where we flipped coins. This is Tails. It's a bird. The other one's JFK.
Starting point is 00:31:48 It's a real coin. It's a real coin. I'm going to catch it and then flip it over on my hand. Yeah. Okay. I'm just, it's for you, so I'm excited. Yeah, I appreciate it. And you're pre-calling heads.
Starting point is 00:31:59 You're not calling it in the air. Interesting. I'm calling Tails. I think he called Tails. That's what I meant. I'm calling Tails. Jeff, please confirm that he called Tails. Jeff, I have to say that he called Tails, and then I'm calling Tails. I think he called Tails. That's what I meant. I'm calling Tails. Jeff, please confirm that he called Tails. Jeff, I have to say that he called Tails, and then we can do this.
Starting point is 00:32:09 He called Tails. I wasn't paying attention, but I'll let you. He paid more attention than I was, apparently. Okay, here we go. Okay, he's flipping the coin. He catches the coin. What is it? What is it?
Starting point is 00:32:21 What is it? It's heads. Oh! Okay. See, I was subliminally trying to get you It's heads. Oh! Okay. Well. See, I was subliminally trying to get you to go heads. I just, you know.
Starting point is 00:32:28 Double. Can we do double or nothing? Richard, can we do double or nothing? Because I really actually need. That's the end of the show. You've been taught a valuable lesson about business. I don't even have a plane ticket home. Roll the credits.
Starting point is 00:32:42 I'm going to space I like that you start season 2 and I'm still just on the premises trying to leave because I have no money just stuck there can I have the coin for bus fare that was a really good Richard Branson Gavin thanks yeah I really pulled that one out
Starting point is 00:33:00 I always forget what a natural actor you are. Wherever you're going, you better believe American Express will be right there with you. Heading for adventure?

Right now? Well, not like right now, but I feel like he was one of the, I feel like since like the mid-thousands, he was like, I'm going to space. We're going to have space travel. Is he doing that yet? Is that a thing?
Starting point is 00:33:55 Yeah. Okay. You can just go to space through Richard Branson? I mean, if you're a billionaire, you get to go to space. Yeah. I feel like I would have to go on his airline before i trusted him to take me into space i wouldn't trust you like you know how many billionaires die in like a helicopter crash it's just even more risky than that is it more than
Starting point is 00:34:15 there are words for edges to describe edges because if it's the same measurement we got like one i will say okay with to be fair to billionaires and helicopter crashes they do i i think you're right like super rich people die in helicopter crashes more but it's also because they take like incalculably more helicopter rides than we do that's true like if you take 10 000 like if you take a helicopter ride four times a day every day i mean yeah eventually maybe you're gonna crash but i think that the percentage is probably about the same yeah i'm sure statistically it's safer than a car but you just it's just how the rich die a lot yeah unfortunately is it is it how they die a lot i don't i don't i don't know if that's statistically accurate also it's the only version of let's be
Starting point is 00:35:04 fair to billionaires that I can get behind Jeff. When you first opened that as a meat, like, what are we fucking talking about? Then you're like helicopter crash. I'm not saying they're good people or anything. I'm just saying they fly in more helicopters than we do. So they have a higher chance. You're going to notice more billionaires crashing just because they're the only ones taking the helicopter rides. When was the last time you rode in a helicopter? i three weeks after kobe bryant died um emily and i were on vacation in hawaii and the hotel we were staying at had the magnum pi helicopter you could rent it for uh helicopter rides and so uh we rented it and then they were like for extra money. Have I never told this story? No. No. Oh
Starting point is 00:35:45 okay well shit let me tell it then I hadn't prepared it but so Emily and I are staying at this it's actually at the place where they where they did Forgetting Sarah Marshall I think if I'm remembering correctly and at this place they have
Starting point is 00:36:01 helicopter rides and I found out later that Emily had had been uh navigating as far away from the helicopter rides as possible every time we went anywhere without me knowing it because she was terrified i would see the helicopter and want to take a helicopter ride because she deathly did not want to i found i found that out about a month ago this was like the reverse of swans yeah it was like the reverse of swans. Yeah, it was like the reverse of swans. So apparently she had been walking the long way around to get to stuff so that I would never see the helipad.
Starting point is 00:36:32 And like I said, she just admitted that to me like a couple months ago. This was February 2019. So one day we're renting bikes to go ride around the beach and I see the Magnum PI helicopter and I go, hey, what's that? She goes, oh, that's a helicopter. And I go,
Starting point is 00:36:54 for like for people? And the lady at the bike place she goes, oh yeah, yeah, you can rent the helicopter. Lots of people do it. It's fun. You go up for an hour. And I went, can we rent the helicopter lots of people do it it's uh it's really it's fun you go up for an hour and i went can we can we rent the helicopter and she's like yeah yeah i can actually book it from over here and emily's like yeah let's do it i didn't realize that on the inside she was like dear god no so we rent the helicopter and uh we go to get on it and they're like giving us a safety
Starting point is 00:37:23 viewing and stuff and then the guy comes in and he yeah, we're having a problem with the new one. Well, anyway, we're just not going to take it. We're just not going to take it. That's OK, though, because we have the old helicopter. We haven't mothballed it yet. We keep it around just for, you know, these kind of instances. So we haven't flown it in a while, but trust me, it'd still be fine. And so that was not great to hear that the new helicopter wasn't safe and they couldn't drive it.
Starting point is 00:37:45 And they like pulled the old one out of retirement. Like it had one last mission. And so I put a bunch of wasps come out of the room when they when they come to us and they go, all right, now we can do it two ways. We can do it with doors on doors off. And I go, excuse me. And they go, yeah, we take the doors off. That way you just have fresh air. I go doors We can do it with doors on, doors off. And I go, excuse me? And they go, yeah, we take the doors off. That way you just have fresh air. And I go, doors off, doors off, doors off, doors off.
Starting point is 00:38:09 And I didn't even look at Emily. I was just like, yeah, we want the doors off. And Emily's like, yeah, doors off. And they're like, no problem. And then they put us in this helicopter and I buckle. They don't buckle you and you buckle yourself in. I get in the back on the yourself in. I get in the back
Starting point is 00:38:25 on the right side. Emily gets in the back on the left side. And I realized that without the door, because that thing's like the Magnum PI helicopter is kind of like a bubble
Starting point is 00:38:32 that with the door is about 40% of the wall. And because it's convex, right? I'd say about a third of me is hanging out of the helicopter. And now I've been
Starting point is 00:38:43 on a lot of helicopters. I was in the army for five i've been on a lot of helicopters i was in the army for five years i was a photographer i flew in helicopters constantly i would go into blackhawks all the time and every time i would get into a blackhawk the pilot would go hey you ever flown in a blackhawk before and i'd go yes many times you don't have to do the thing and he goes i'm about to scare the piss out of you and they go up in the air and they turn sideways and you're just hanging monkey strapped in like looking at the ground and you go ah and they turn it right back and then and then every helicopter pilot on earth does that uh and it really it's really old really fast and no matter how many times you say like it's you guys have done it before i don't have to
Starting point is 00:39:17 like it's it's everybody's it's every pilot's perverse pleasure right so i feel pretty well versed in helicopters uh so but i'm i'm not kidding when i feel like like a third of my ass cheek is hanging out of the plane and i'm not a big dude you know like i'd say from my right nipple out is outside just just air uh so i'm like it's like i've only got one nipple in the plane uh and i'm like that's a lot smaller than i thought it was that's kind of weird and then i go to like find the monkey straps to go in and i'm looking around and I'm like, well, that's a lot smaller than I thought it was. That's kind of weird. And then I go to like find the monkey straps to go in and I'm looking around and they're like, no, no, it's a lap belt. And I look and it's just like, it's like the seatbelt from a 1978 Ford F-150.
Starting point is 00:39:57 It's just like, and it's old. And like it, I swear to God, it says GM on it. I think like, it just looks like an old car. Like like if you bump it wrong, it's going to come come apart. Right. And I'm like, where's the rest? And they're like, that's all you need. You're fine.
Starting point is 00:40:13 And I'm like, this is the only seatbelt in this plane or helicopter. And they're like, hey, you'll be fine. And I'm like figuring all this out. And I look over at Emily and Emily does not look good. And I go, are you OK? And she goes, yeah, I'm fine. And then the helicopter takes off. We get one foot in the air
Starting point is 00:40:29 and I go, oh my god, this is incredibly scary. Like instantly. I look at Emily, she immediately starts crying. Just immediately starts crying. We're a foot off the ground. Right? And she's crying and I'm on the inside crying but i
Starting point is 00:40:48 look at her and i see how i see how terrified she is and i go gotta be brave gotta be brave for emily so i like eat it i just eat all my fear and and of which there is uh uh like a seven course meals worth of and then we take off and then we're up in the air and we are up in the air. And then it's an hour. We got the hour long one. She closes her eyes and keeps them closed for the entire hour.
Starting point is 00:41:19 That's not true. I think she opened them over Pearl Harbor briefly because I was like, you gotta see this. So she opens them briefly, saw the crashed boats and she was like, okay, close your eyes again. And we then it's like, it's not so bad. We go over the beach and like, that's scary, but it's like, I can
Starting point is 00:41:34 still see people on the beach and like, if I fell, the sand is soft. If I fall in the water, I probably live there. But then, and then we go over and we look at like, go over to like the Punchbowl and then you go over to you see where Pearl Harbor happened. And that's all very scary. But it's still like you can see cars moving around and stuff.
Starting point is 00:41:50 And it's like you feel you're still hanging ass out. I'm still nipple out of the plane or the helicopter. Right. And that and it's very cold up there, even though it's hot in Hawaii and it's very windy. But when it gets really, really bad is when we go to the mountains and they're like, let's go see where they filmed King Kong in Jurassic Park. And you're like, OK. And then you're in these mountains and then you're climbing with the mountains. And suddenly the helicopter is getting so throttled with wind that it's going like you can't see my hand right now, but it's like 10 feet to the left, 10 feet to the right, up, down.
Starting point is 00:42:21 It's like it's like somebody shaking dice and we're the dice. And I am like, just try and not to piss my, up, down. It's like somebody's shaking dice, and we're the dice. And I'm like, just trying not to piss my pants out of fear. And it's like 40 fucking degrees up there, and freezing, and it's incredibly windy, and it's wet, so you're getting blasted with water in the face,
Starting point is 00:42:37 and it's slippery, and I'm just like trying to find anything inside the helicopter to hold onto, and there's nothing really, except for like one arm thing to hold and I'm just holding the seatbelt, just trying to hold it closed with my other hand, and I'm like, I'm kind of going like
Starting point is 00:42:51 I'm kind of crying to myself a little bit in these mountains because it is so fucking scary and we're getting just thrown, like batted around like a cat batting a mouse around in the air Did you have a headset on so you could talk to each other? No I don't, I don't think so i we must have had headsets on yeah because he was telling us stuff but i don't think we talked back i think we just cried to
Starting point is 00:43:15 ourselves and every once in a while i'd look over at emily and like touch her hand or whatever but and she would just be sitting there just silently crying with her eyes closed. And we did that for an hour. And then we landed and I've never been so happy to be on land again. And I don't know that I'll ever need to take another helicopter ride again. But if I do, I guarantee you, I will keep the doors on. It is an entirely different thing to be nipple out of that little bubble. 10,000 feet in the air over a mountain while you're getting hit with gale storm winds. I like that Emily got the visual equivalent of Googling aerial shot of Pearl Harbor.
Starting point is 00:43:52 Yes. Yes. Yeah. But she had all the nausea of a real experience. Oh, God. I don't think I want to go on one. Yeah. I don't think I've ever been on one,
Starting point is 00:44:05 and I don't really have an interest. Very different experience in an enclosed helicopter versus that one that I was on. So did you book the Magnum one, and the Magnum one didn't work, or did you book a different one and ended up in the Magnum? They were both the Magnum one. They were both Magnum ones.
Starting point is 00:44:21 So they got a new Magnum one. If I was going gonna die in a helicopter crash i think i would want it to be in the magnum heli totally agree i had totally agree totally agree yeah i can't think of a more iconic helicopter than the magnum magnum that that factored into my decision making i thought uh tragic that the kobe thing just happened right obviously but what a better time to ride in a helicopter than right now, because every pilot has got to be extra safe, right?
Starting point is 00:44:49 Like it's on everybody's mind. So everybody's probably being really self-conscious and conscientious and really safe with like all the protocols and everything. And, and then also, uh, nobody dies in like TV fandom stuff. Like I'm not going to die in a mat.
Starting point is 00:45:03 Like the mystery machine doesn't, doesn't go off a bridge and kill people, right? Like I'll be fine because it's the Magnum PI helicopter. And so that led me to make that mistake. So you're saying that billionaires do not buy novelty helicopters. Those worlds do not cross.
Starting point is 00:45:22 I'm saying billionaires probably should. They probably should be flying. Like Eric said nobody died in a Batmobile like if I was a billionaire I drive around in a Batmobile or an Oscar Mayer wiener car and you'd be safe forever if you could buy any movie vehicle what would it be
Starting point is 00:45:37 movie or TV show any type of vehicle could be anything anything that moves trying to figure something that's not the DeLorean. Is it from the movie, or does it work as the movie works? It's like a functional... It works as how the movie works. Let's go with that.
Starting point is 00:45:56 It's a functional version of whatever it is in the movie. Oh. Car from Bullet. I mean, I don't want to sound way too nerdy but like wouldn't a tortoise be like the perfect thing to have it's the size of a it doesn't really move much yeah but it's the size of it moves wherever you want to go it goes anywhere in the universe forward and back but andrew said it has to be functional has to be functional has to work unless you stick some wheels underneath it.
Starting point is 00:46:25 Well, you're saying it works as intended in the movie, so I assume in my world that I walk in with A, it's a 4,000 square foot house on the inside, which is lovely. In Austin, good luck finding that. So you just plunk it down anywhere, and then I can go anywhere in the observable universe.
Starting point is 00:46:42 Yeah, I took it as Eric says I took it as magic exists in this scenario. Absolutely I did. And I don't think it's magic in Doctor Who, I think it's science. Sure. What would you go with, Gavin? Hmm. Um, well, if we're using magic, I want one of the light bikes from Tron.
Starting point is 00:46:58 Well, that's also not magic, that's science. I mean, it's not, is it? Hard light? Eric's gotta change his fucking answer i just like the idea of going like riding down the motorway and no one can come behind me like no one can tailgate you ever yeah i hmm we're going different i'm thinking like the submarine from the hunt for red october because i just i don't know anyone that owns the submarine is the Hunt for Red October. Because I don't know anyone that owns a submarine. Is it a real submarine?
Starting point is 00:47:27 I assume. Well, no. I'm saying, like, but it's depicted. You just fucking picked the Tron bike. What are you talking about? Is it a real submarine? I thought we were talking about props, but then Jeff picked the TARDIS, which is an empty wooden box. It's full of stuff on the inside. I think
Starting point is 00:47:42 owning a submarine would be fun, and i don't know anyone who has a submarine that'd be it'd be a great show it'd be like oh look at what i just bought and it's just water and then you're like pull it up if we're picking submarines i want the one from gold member that's shaped like dr evil oh that's great imagine if that was functional imagine if they really built a whole sub for gold I want I want to change my answer I want the spaceship that they built in the explorers out of
Starting point is 00:48:14 trash cans that actually took them to space do you guys ever see that movie when you were kids River Phoenix and Wars yeah no Eric has a problem with us and Ari it just it went from what's a cool car that you think is in a movie or something to
Starting point is 00:48:29 what insane sci-fi thing do you want like this is so man it really went in a direction I was not anticipating I want the tuxedo from Tuxedo that's my pick oh it's a Ethan Hawke, maybe?
Starting point is 00:48:46 River Phoenix, yeah. And this is what the spaceship looked like. I would rather fucking fly in the Magnum PI chopper with the doors open than take foot in that thing. I don't want to get in that thing. Oh, you know what? That looks so insecure. I would take the Winnebago from Spaceballs.
Starting point is 00:49:03 Ooh, that's good. Because that at least has wheels. That is good. And could potentially function on a real road if it wasn't I assume about a foot long in real life. I want the car from Spy Hunter. Can we go video? Yeah, of course. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:20 The Rock. That's a weird video. They made the second Spy Hunter. I don't remember what the subtitle is, but there's a second video they made the second spy hunter i don't remember what the subtitle is but there's a second spy hunter that the rock was in and they were going to make a movie based off of the game but then the game wasn't successful enough to justify the movie so it's like this weird movie tie-in game that doesn't have a movie associated with it huh very strange it's one of like early rock it's like before even i want to say he did the rundown like it is very early rock work i forgot about the rundown rundown is maybe my favorite rock
Starting point is 00:49:51 movie it's a good movie that's fucking awesome i wrote is that the one with johnny knoxville in it no that's uh walk tall walk tall yeah yeah no the rundown has Sean William Scott and Christopher Walken. Right, right, right, right, right. And Rosario Dawson. They fall down a hill. It's great. Christopher Walken has a whole monologue in that movie about Oompa Loompas, but he didn't know what they were when they filmed it. So, like, he complained about the... He's like, what the fuck is this?
Starting point is 00:50:17 And they had to explain to him what an Oompa Loompa is. It's fantastic. It's a great action movie. Fuck the Long Kiss Goodnight. Watch the rundown. If you want a dumb action movie, rundown's awesome. Yeah, I've never seen it.
Starting point is 00:50:29 It is a good movie. Not that there's a lot of competition. It's the best WWE movie of all time, by a lot. It's a low bar, but it's very good. I, um... Yes?
Starting point is 00:50:40 I hate to say it, but... I have sock dilemma. Oh, no! We can't do this again. Gavin. Gavin. Really fucking time travel podcast. You've come to the right place.
Starting point is 00:50:50 How can we help? Yeah, I figure this is the correct support group for the problem, but I really am annoyed that I've put up with this. Wait. Time out. One second. Without knowing, in the same episode, we literally flipped the coin and are now doing a sock story we had an actual coin flip
Starting point is 00:51:08 and a sock story it's a time travel podcast this is so stupid sorry go ahead I just had to point that out we've done this before what is happening with your socks so I bought some new socks. I bought a three pack of this type of like more breathable sock.
Starting point is 00:51:30 Just because it's hot. I wanted a summer sock. And I put on this new type of sock that I've never worn before. And it was phenomenal. I really enjoyed putting it on. Like it went on well. It feels nice to walk around the house. Feels good in a shoe.
Starting point is 00:51:46 I thought, this is a great sock. I'm going to buy a 10-pack of these socks. And it got to the point where while I was waiting for these socks to arrive, occasionally these new socks would be in the rotation. I'd go back and forth between a new, nice, fresh sock and then my old socks. And it got to the point where I was like, I always have a good day when I wear a nice new pair of socks. And it was getting to the point where I'd have an okay day or a shit day on the old socks.
Starting point is 00:52:15 And every time I'd wear a new one, it was great. And then the 10-pack came and this continued. I was like, wow. I pretty much, and this was subconscious at first, but it actually got to the point where I was like, well, I need today to go this is, it was subconscious at first, but it actually got to the point where I was like, well, I need today to go well. So I'm going to put on one of the new pairs. And this has continued to work probably for the last three or four weeks until last week.
Starting point is 00:52:35 I put on a new pair and had a shit day. And I thought, oh, and then I started to try and analyze it. Like, is it because it was red? Like I still, I'm just in a weird, it's like, it's so subconscious. Like it's not a real decision I'm making, but now I'm avoiding the red ones. And I've just, I think I've just become, I've become everything I was making fun of when it came to Jeff. Cause socks don't matter. It's all bollocks. It's all superstition crap. But I have a bad day when I wear the red good sock. Socks don't matter. It's all bollocks. It's all superstition crap.
Starting point is 00:53:08 But I have a bad day when I wear the red good sock. But you used to have a good day when you wore the red good sock, right? I just used to not notice. But now that I haven't had a bad day with these socks, I'm actually picking up that pair of socks every day and putting them back. Do you know what you need to do? You know what you need to do, honestly? You need to get rid of that pair of socks. You used up the good in those socks.
Starting point is 00:53:26 All the luck is gone. You think I should have just been it? It was like a $14 pair of socks. It'll never be good for you again. You're never going to enjoy them. You don't recharge socks. That's what I've been thinking. I'm like, do I just avoid this pair of socks,
Starting point is 00:53:38 or do I try and cleanse the socks by basically picking a day where I would go to Disneyland, or it's like you couldn't lose the day and put on the good socks like a guaranteed... What do you have? Oh... I don't know I just feel like if there's a day where up front you know it's gonna be an absolute corker do I put on the bad socks and potentially tarnish the day or do I cleanse the socks of evil? Your entire belief that it's impossible to have a good day with the socks on,
Starting point is 00:54:12 I don't think your logic doesn't make sense. Yeah, I don't know how this works. I was hoping that you guys would have suggestions. That's difficult. It's like which came first, chicken or the egg, right? It is. Is the power, is the negativity of the sock, does it outweigh the power of a guaranteed good day? That said, this is dangerous
Starting point is 00:54:27 stuff you're dealing with here. I have a lot to go over. I mean, it's $14. $14 fucking dollars. You can donate them. Yeah, donate them, man. What's a used pair of socks? A lot of people.
Starting point is 00:54:42 Yeah, you can donate clothes. Especially a pair of socks like this. I thought socks and undies were out of the question for donation oh i don't know are they i don't know i just feel like socks would be fine i mean is a bat is a good day worth more to you than 14 i guess so like is it out there would you pay 14 to avoid a really shit day i would i think I would, too. That's a good point. Yeah, I would probably get rid of those socks. They're only going to hurt you.
Starting point is 00:55:10 Unless we come up with a uniform cleanse bag or something. Listen, now, that's a possibility, too. I like the idea of trying to reach... I know I just said it was impossible, but I don't think anything's really impossible. Is there a way to re-imbue these socks with good sock luck? I have no idea.
Starting point is 00:55:31 I wouldn't even know how to begin that. I'd be open to suggestions from the audience. And I also think it's... I just enjoy it because I'm about as skeptic as they come with all that nonsense and healing and astrology and all that shite i like the idea that i'm now pushing for one of one of those items to be made knowing how you're evolving knowing you when you said so then i had i wore them and i had a bad day
Starting point is 00:55:57 i expected you to be like and that ended that bullshit fantasy thing that i've been living in and instead you pivoted and said and that's why I've stopped wearing red. Well, here's the thing. Completely out of character for me. I didn't want to write off the entire pack of socks. I spent good money on those socks. I don't want to be like, well, they're all tarnished. Is it possible?
Starting point is 00:56:19 Is it possible it's a month thing? Like maybe they're good luck in May, but bad luck in June. That's stupid. That's a great angle. It's all completely irrelevant. I don't know. I don't know. Maybe it matters how many days are in the month.
Starting point is 00:56:35 Yeah. Or like, is it an even day or an odd day? There's a lot of magics associated with that. Yeah. You could really go at it. I think the only way to truly find out is to keep a spreadsheet and probably do it for a year and then do like a cross-reference and analysis yeah i want to know if eric has any thoughts on the sock matter
Starting point is 00:56:51 what what you just described is something gus would do unprovoked yeah the spreadsheet yeah but he gets off sexually at that stuff i nearly fainted at the start of your story when you said that i got a three pack of socks and i thought you meant you bought three socks in one pack i thought it was like we're really it's all connecting this is truly a rerun no it was six i was stunned when you said i got a three pack and I was like, what is going on internally? I'm still recovering from that moment. What if you is Dan around? Not this week.
Starting point is 00:57:33 He'll do anything, right? What if you made him wear the socks for a day and then observe the quality of his day? And then just give him a survey at the end of the day. How was your day? And if it was a good day or a bad day. And then that way you outsource the danger to him. Should I feel bad if he has an awful day though? I feel like I'd be the cause. Do you
Starting point is 00:57:54 give a shit? Yeah. I think so. Now, I don't think you do. You took too long to answer. You had to convince yourself that you cared in front of other people. No, that was like the pause said everything. I appreciate the attempt you had to convince you had to convince yourself that you cared in front of other people no that was like the pause said everything i appreciate the attempt but you answered you answered us you answered us way before you answered
Starting point is 00:58:13 oh well hey uh i didn't even it was let me try that again, hey! We've gone and listened to a whole other episode of the F*** Face Podcast with Jeff and Andrew and Gavin. I hope you enjoyed it. I sure had a good time running through doing this rerun with you on this time travel podcast. Be sure to watch the Long Kiss
Starting point is 00:58:40 Good Night, or not. Maybe you should watch the Rundown. Let me throw the Explorers in the ring. And if you thought my voice sounded weird, I agree. It's because I got braces today and my mouth feels all fucked up. Well, like Invisalign. I got Invisalign today, yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:55 What an insane thing to drop right at the end, Jeff. That's fucking, that's crazy. He dropped it at the beginning, but none of us asked about it, I realized. Yeah. We'll see you next week. Hey, guys. Major League fan Jack here with a look at next week's episode of F*** Face. Can you beat the bread clip challenge?
