Hello and welcome to another episode of the Regulation Podcast. My name is Jeff Ramsey. With me, as always, Andrew Panton and Gavin Free in that order of importance and popularity. This is episode four.

Hi, guys. Oh, wait. I mean, that's just factually correct first of all sorry gavin go ahead all right well i heard the popularity part after i realized i wasn't paying attention to the order of the names it was you than me it was just him stating the guy with a huge slow motion youtube channel on the side is bigger than the piss boy Vancouver child kicker. Who would predict?

More popular in every metric. Jeff said that as a dig. It's just a fact. But on this podcast, you're the most popular. I don't think that's true. Well, if we go by an egg, I'm first, but I think that's the only measuring system in which I'm ahead of everybody

i'll be honest the gas lighting is so intense and immediate i don't remember what i said now oh you went gavin than me i'm pretty sure i didn't i'm pretty sure i went the other way but now you've got me now you've got me confused i'm locked in i thought thought I was bottom, but I couldn't. International superstar. I have a. Gavin Free. I have a running list in my head at all times of the order of popularity of you to me. And I'm pretty sure Andrew's above Gavin right now. So I think I.

I don't think that's true at all. I think I said his name first. I disagree strongly. But, you know, we're wires across. We haven't done this in a bit. It's been a while. Yeah, I said his name first. I disagree strongly, but you know, our wires are crossed. We haven't done this in a bit. It's been a while. Yeah, I'm a little jet lagged. Oh, yeah. You're all home, though, right? Did you get some sleep last night? Yeah,

but I was so tired, I fell asleep at like nine that I woke up at four. So this feels like really late. It feels like we're recording at normal time. You've been up since four? Yeah. Also, it's weird because we're recording at a different time on a different day, so everything's just out of whack. It's all fucked.

Who are we blaming for that? Me? Yeah, that's your fault, but that's okay. Yeah, I think we can blame you for that. I wouldn't even say fault. However, had you not been out of town on a trip, I would have had to reschedule today, so then it would have been my fault. You would have been scot-free. Why did you even say anything i guess i can't own could have been no one would have known

because i'm trying to make a comedy podcast here uh i would have been second i guess i'm secondarily responsible like if if you're unable to fill your duties of irresponsibility i would step up i feel like honesty is important and it makes you popular and i think that you could potentially now be the most popular member of this podcast. Wow. That's very sweet of you to say, but I don't know. Going up against such heavyweights as the Canadian and the Brit, I don't know, man. Hard to compete with those two.

I mean, you're saying it like it's high bar. I feel like it's low bar across the board. Oh, really? I do too. I thought the sarcasm was dripping, but I guess not. I'm sorry. No. Listen, you just called me the Canadian.

We don't do sarcasm. We don't do... It's not a thing. Why would you do that to me? Gavin, how was your trip? Oh, it was lovely. It was nice? Yep.

Had a little birthday in England. Yeah, oh. When was the last time you had a birthday in England? Oh, a few years ago, probably. Went to the cheese rolling. I know that you're a big fan of the cheese roll. Oh, of course. Yeah, I was very excited to see when you shared clips of the cheese roll.

Was that your first time attending the cheese rolling? Yes. Was it as awesome as it looks? It's something I've realized that just doesn't come across well on camera and even on my footage that hill is freaking steep like it is so immensely steep i don't know how people don't die is this now having seen it is this something that you think to yourself like i want to get into this like I want to be I want to roll down that hill. I would love to. Well, how do we make that happen?

Well, I mean, there is just the risk like, you know, I feel like currently I'm responsible for other people's stuff. And if I break my both legs, then everyone suffers. I think you could film slow-mo in a chair yeah did let me ask you a question did any you went to the cheese rolling right yeah and you saw the whole thing yep did anybody get taken off in an ambulance uh not that i saw but you're fine then but based on some of the footage I got, I don't know how. Now, were you shooting this just for fun or was this a work gig? I was filming it for slow-mo.

It was after I'd already booked my flights home where I was like, when does that cheese roll? I should really try. And I realized it just happened to be in the middle of the week that I was home. So I just packed my smallest camera. That's awesome. So did you just roll up as an attendee or did you let them know a world famous high-speed photographer, Gavin Free, will be in attendance today at your event?

No, I just, we went there and there was a little press area and I thought, yeah, I've got a camera and a tripod. That's awesome. Did you run into any comment leavers or? Oh, you got recognized a few times i don't know if they oh yeah yeah there was some there was some actual comment levers there and uh even one of the bbc guys knew of uh this podcast oh dude that's awesome did you tell him

tell that maybe if he knows about it maybe the world should know about it and the bbc should get behind it god damn it like we're making we're making fucking news here i think the bbc would include us in a news post we're not called face anymore that's all formerly previously known as we should that we should start off every conversation with every interviewer or media person with you can talk about us now it's okay how long do you think until we get in variety that's the dream that is the signal awards of 2024

yeah but don't you kind of not want to be in variety now don't you kind of just want to be like I'm a Hollywood reporter guy fuck variety no I mean I'll be in that. Yeah, we can do the Hollywood reporter. We draw like a line in the sand. I mean, I'm not opposed to being in the Hollywood reporter as well.

Right. Yeah, I think it's funnier if we end up in variety. I have a beef with with Hollywood press. It would be nice to end up in variety for a good thing for once. Every time I've been in it it is not great yeah that's fair i can understand that from your perspective uh with the cheese rolling gavin yeah did you have any temptation to like try to track down that type of cheese you're like what would you do if you won how do you travel with the cheese would you bring it with you because you're kind of lucky you could leave it with family oh you mean if i ran the cheese

roll yeah if you ran because you win the cheese right if you yeah on the run first of all how many runs do they do like how many cheeses do they give out i saw four oh that's a lot like three men's runs and a woman's one. Is it all the same kind of cheese? I don't know. Honestly, the cheese was my enemy that day. Because I was right at the bottom of the hill, directly in the middle. And everyone, all the real press,

were hiding behind hay bales. And we were just shoved off to the side. All the people with real equipment were like, yeah, piss off, we got this spot. So we were just shoved off to the side like all the people with real equipment were like yeah piss off we got this spot so we were just shoved over and over and then like a bunch of people with gopros and just like whoever they whoever felt like it started climbing into the press area so i was shoved even more further over completely exposed to the cheese so for the first i would say for the first five seconds of the ten second cheese roll, I was just

trying not to be killed by cheese. Because it comes cooking down that hill. So I would just be watching the cheese and then after it missed me, I would start filming. Hey Nick, there's about seven sound drops in there if you could pull those out.

They're all gold. Oh yeah, you got it thank you what happened no you just said a lot of really awesome stuff oh shit well that's it we should isolate and hold on to forever one more thing about the cheese thing what was the craziest thing that you saw at the cheese thing um well a lot of drunk people yeah i assume I feel like that goes with it I just saw so many necks get real bent up one one guy was great too he face planted so hard both of his shoes flew off did you see like scorpion after scorpion oh yeah some of them some of those awkward looking scorpions I've ever seen in my life like scorpions on the move while twisting on a scale of one to ten uh for fun where did it land

oh to watch yeah like a nine wow should we make it a regulation event and maybe go next year or sometime in the future do you think it's worth us doing that? Yeah, but it's like, it's not really an organized event anymore. It's more of just like a bunch of people go and do it. I can't be, right? Like they crack down on it being organized. I mean, I feel like that's better. You know, I feel like that's what you want when nobody's in charge and nobody takes responsibility.

That's when the real fun shit happens. Yeah, it is truly a shit show. And we got to get there early if we're going to make a thing of it. How do you figure out yeah it is truly a shit show and uh we got to get there early if we're gonna make a thing of it how do you figure out when it is it's pretty public still right like it's just just look it up yeah it's not like they're fucking spray painting cheese to the wall and like you gotta crack the code where it is like it's an espionage film yeah I love cheese. Oh my God. I'm sorry.

I just made myself laugh. That was good. Yeah, that was good, right? I love cheese. If you're 100 years old, you'll remember the Halo 2 ARG, I love bees. Yeah, I love bees.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. How was your birthday? Did you have fun? Yeah, uneventful. Uneventful?

We made birthday content for you. i'm excited for you to say is that why you all just started texting me how like that i was a great guy still hasn't responded uh it was your birthday and we were just trying to wish you well yeah i thought it would be nice yeah it was just all at the same time and also nick texts me which i don't think has ever happened there maybe was a conversation about how when you are when you're told that you're a great guy you respond instantly and I still haven't technically received a

response from that text I don't think I replied to you individually I would just watch the video if I were you. Yeah. It's a lot of us just sharing our feelings about you and celebrating you and how much we love you and talking about how great you are

and all the things that make you, you. Yeah. I think you're going to enjoy it a lot. Yeah. This is so, like, it sounds so, like, dastardly. Yeah, I feel very uneasy. I don't know why. You're going to get, like, a 45-minute expression of love

of the three best friends and then the guy who's never texted you before. You said you're feeling uneasy. I had an all-time uneasy moment the other day and i've realized that i need to be more um when i when i'm doing actions i need to think them through further no you don't i can't no you what no hold on no no no where did you get that in your head well okay well what typically i'll be doing like three or four things at once and then i'll just go solution to problem do do solution and then not fully think about the potential consequences of said thing it was uh i was sitting at my desk and i was i was like updating something on our patreon page and i was looking at something for a game and uh i realized oh i hadn't taken my anxiety medicine

for the day i take like one pill a day this is like i need to take it but all of the things on my desk were empty all of the the like beverages i had outside of one so i went oh i'll just i'll drink this one with my pill and so i put the pill in my mouth. Then I took a drink and I forgot that that beverage contained boba balls in it. So I have a pill in my mouth. And then all of a sudden there is like 15 boba pearls in my mouth. And I go into full panic mode because how am I going to swallow all of this? It's just feel basically put like a bunch of other pills in your mouth. Yeah, it was

with pills it was a massive amount of just circular balls in in my that is an unfortunate combination of words but it is what all balls are circular yeah well i i panicked and I tried to crush all the balls in my mouth and my tongue. And that resulted in me missing and then me accidentally swallowing. And then the pill is melting at the same time. So I thought I'll just try again, but I'll lift the straw up higher. But that still didn't work. So I ended up just having to swallow like four Boba pearls alongside my pill. And it was just complete chaos. So I ended up just having to swallow like four Boba pearls alongside my pill. And it was just complete chaos.

It was a very relaxed time to all of a sudden instant panic. Did the size of the straw not give away what kind of beverage it was going to be? The fact I ordered it gave away what type of beverage it was going to be. The issue was I just wasn't thinking. Now, you explained that story to us just now uh and what i heard was a perfectly reasonable interaction that went the way it should have what you're describing is how that should have gone i don't know why you would want to change your line of thought uh because i feel like everything that you just explained makes should the universe wanted it to happen that way

and we want to make the universe happy. I don't know how, if I can convey, the genuine level of shock when all the Boba Pearls flew into my mouth on this first sip. That was supposed to happen. We needed that to happen. For balance, the universe needed that to happen.

Please don't take that away from us. I'm not going to. I been capable of changing in that way but it was a moment of god damn it i wish i wish i just thought this through a little bit more i wish i didn't just drink the drink i wish i got up got a new glass of water but instead now i have all these pearls in my mouth and it started to melt in my mouth. The pill. I'm very thankful. It was like a lemonade boba type thing because it covered up. But I could, you know, like when a pill lasts too long in your mouth and you start to taste it and it's terrible. Pills always taste the worst.

It was that. But I thankfully had a mask. I feel like I'm usually a new drink guy anyway. Like if if a glass of water has been out all night, it goes all old. Yeah. I always assume that if I leave like a glass of water out overnight

while I'm asleep, cockroaches and bugs are going to use it as a swimming pool. And then in the morning, I'll be like, oh, I think it's totally fine. But really like some cockroaches

doing the backstroke in it and maybe like maybe two drunk flies were banging like it's a hot tub. Bumble knows it's hard to start conversations. Hey. No, too basic. Hi there. Still no.

What about hello, handsome? Who knew you could give yourself the ick? That's why Bumble is changing how you start conversations. You can now make the first move or not.

Does it happen here?

Because in England, I remember if you fill a glass of water the night before, the next morning it's going to be all full of bubbles and taste weird. And here, the tap water is so freaking disgusting, I just don't drink it. Does it happen here too? If you leave it out, yeah. Just gets all weird and bubbly and gross? I don't know if bubbly... I don't think I'd describe it as bubbly for me.

Also, don't know that I'd describe it as bubbly. But it gets flat and still, because it gets weird. It definitely gets weird. It definitely tastes off. It definitely tastes like it's been sitting forever. But you don't have the bubbles stuck to the inside of the glass? Does British tap water carbonate itself overnight?

Is that what you're saying? I don't know what happens with it, but I'm sure if you're in England, you've seen it with the water. Just leave a glass of water for a day and there's bubbles on the inside now. I think what I'm imagining is bubbles. Maybe we all need to fill a glass of water half full and stick it somewhere in our house after this recording ends

and then take a picture of it and then in 24 hours come back and look at the results. I think that's a great idea. There are people listening to this right now who don't know what we're talking about and there's other people fucking screaming at their phones about how yeah bubbles yeah the water bubbles i don't i just think it goes stale i don't know that i've seen

bubbles right you felt just yeah wow stale i wouldn't even describe it as it uh the taste is so bad when you leave yeah i i filter all of the water i drink here and it means that the bubble thing doesn't happen so typically i'm drinking my water out of a kerbler like i'll go get it i'll drink the glass it's all a singular thing i don't i'm not gonna leave water overnight i ran into this problem when we were uh when we were streaming more deep into our stream and i'm still trying to resolve it because the, the bottles that I stream out of are large. They don't fit in the sink.

And you're also supposed to, apparently it carbonates better if it's cold. So the only thing I could do is if I wanted to, to like avoid having to go downstairs to like the kitchen sink is to fill it in the bathtub but i didn't want to leave it in the fridge overnight because the bubbling thing stop wait what well because you're drinking bathtub water well no because well no so i would when i'm carbonating when i'm carbonating the thing doesn't fit in the sink where I get my tap water

typically, but it does fit in the tub and it's all the same water. There's no difference in the water. I just don't know why he said no. No, I understand why he says no, because when you say tub water, you're implying you filled the bathtub

up and then got in the bathtub and then scooped the thing, scoop the the soda stream thing in and grabbed the water and all he's doing is saying he's he's he needs the clearance under the tub nozzle water yeah no i andrew i'm right here with you tub water and also just saying tub water is different than tap it's the same thing it's the same water it's no different. It's tap water. It's all tap water. Just one comes out of the tub. But hot water, well, I guess that depends too. Like some people's hot water comes out of a tank and it's not potable.

Oh, yeah. Not in America. I'm not using hot water. I don't know what the fuck you're talking about there, but there's no hot water in a house in America that's not potable. You don't have a tank? Some houses have hot water tanks or we have waterless heating systems, but you still can drink the hot water

out of your tap. Oh. Have you never drank the hot water out of... I mean, I guess, when would you? But have you just been, like, avoiding hot water getting in your mouth forever here? Yeah.

Well, I grew up with those... Do you take cold showers? I grew up with the... You know the English taps where there's, like, a cold tap and a hot tap and they're separate taps. Uh-huh. That's because you can't drink the hot one. That you don't want to mix them.

What the fuck kind of third world country is England? The whole time you've lived here, when you take like a hot shower, do you keep your mouth like so closed? I think, yeah, I think i have habit if the water's hot i don't eat my mouth it's so weird in america the hotter it is the safer it is that's fucking we boil stuff to get rid of the impurities yeah you can you know no one's stood in the shower sucking i would have a drink while they're showering what are you talking about no but we're not avoiding it because we think it's not safe to drink either. I mean, it will get in my mouth,

but I'll gauze it back out onto the floor. I'm not going to just be like, oh, I see it. I'm going to swallow it. The only time I've ever had to deal with non-potable water is when I was in the fucking

deserts of Kuwait taking a shower off the back of a tanker truck. That's the only time you... It doesn't make its way into our homes, dude. Would you drink toilet water? Well, no, because I piss in there.

But if the water itself is coming from the same place all the other water does, like if you get to it before it touches the pee sides, it's clean water. I've got a scenario for you, Jeff. Okay. If you had to drink the tub water of someone on this podcast,

who would you take a swig of? Yours. I really don't think it matters. I think I would take it out of yours. I feel like it would bring us closer together. I'm quite hairy, though. I don't think you want mine. No, I don't.

I don't think I would enjoy it anyway, but I would pick you just because I've known you the longest. It's like a tenure thing. Yeah, it's a tenure thing. I'm the most comfortable around you because of that and i just feel like our our friendship would have the best chance of survival after no when you say that are you saying it in the context that i'm using it that i'm filling my bottle with water like i'm just i'm using the tap in the tub because if so it really doesn't matter wait what so i'm leaning in the tub right like

i twist the knob for cold water and then i stand next to the tub and i put it underneath the the thing where the water comes out and then i fill it and i leave no you're just dunking your cup or bottle into someone's bath oh no okay that yeah that's is there soap in the bath no oh but they've been in the bath they just have been in without products yeah but i feel like andrews would be the strongest because he's he stews for longer interesting yeah it's like he's overly steeped who do you think makes the least powerful water? Probably whoever takes the quickest bath. Oh, yeah. Probably me, then.

You got a speed bath? I got army in me. You know, I can't eat or bathe longer than like 30 seconds. I gotta get it fucking in and out. When was the last time you sat in a bath, Jeff? Like you took a bath bath. I took a bath maybe a month ago. Because I was sore and I wanted to... Oh oh it's because of diverticulitis about a month ago i had a diverticulitis flare up and sometimes i it helps to lay in the bathtub

in hot water for a little while so that but before that maybe i would say i take two baths a year maybe wow and it's always like oh i fucking pulled a muscle and i need to lay in hot water with epsom salt or something to to relax yeah probably probably no more than two a year when i went into this story i never thought it would lead into gavin being weird a gavin weirdness being exposed that was not the direction i was anticipating what was i doing that was weird what do you mean not drinking hot water? Avoiding all hot water thinking is not safe. That's an odd thing. I understand your context with gross, too I'll drink boiled water But just hot water

What's that for lukewarm but like warm water? It has Yeah, I'm not a fan of hot beverages in general. I mean, I'm just, I prefer cold. But I just, I never thought, that's so weird. The idea that you can't drink half your water is fascinating. It's not that he can't drink it. It's that he can't drink it based on a false premise. What I've learned in this process is it really hurt my streaming like i've got a lot of uh i

don't even know syrup i guess i can mix with but i haven't been doing it the ratio because i want to try it being cold but i can't it takes too long to be cold and it'd be nice to just like prep bottles ahead of time for carbonation and i'm scared to carbonate the water and then leave it because i i feel like uh it'll it'll get stale like you guys are saying before so i've been trying to find a solution for that and i haven't found it yet i did do some deep diving into if you could buy water purifiers for your bathtub and they do not exist in the way that i need them to well it is like market we could get into it's like salt bags you could put on the front like it is it is more a cosmetic thing but it's like adding to the

water i haven't been able to find just like a brita for your tub why would you who would need that i do for my just because my termination just because you don't like changing floors yeah well it's just it would be more. Why don't you just move your room downstairs? Well, I have my stuff, my work set up, my office. It wouldn't work. It's an open concept downstairs. I'd be yelling all throughout. I need space.

I need a little, I need a corner. I wouldn't be able to fit the, I don't know, my two Xboxes, my three Xboxes it's just a xbox city over here i can't do that downstairs i also don't want to be next to the kitchen it's just that's a busy place to be i'd rather just have my own fake kitchen upstairs with my brita i think i'm gonna get you can get uh like jug br? Yeah. I think that might be... I used to have one. They're fine.

They're fine? Okay. What if you run a hose from the downstairs kitchen out of the house, up the side of the wall, and into your room? Well, the problem with the hose is that you have to be at the source to turn it on or off. No, no, leave it on, and then just cork it.

You mean, like, one of those hoses where you can like twist the the knob to like have the flow go or not go yeah is that if i leave the water running is it just i get environmentally like what are we what are we talking about for the environment with that is that bad the environment is there's no water coming up i think you should just get one of these guns and then have that run that's how you fill up your bottles and get water because you can do like a light mist if you get warm and then you can do like the heavy stream to fill up a bottle you know what i mean explain to me what you think is happening with the environment if you leave that one but i just i don't the water is where i'm saying hey

water get in here keep on getting in here but there's nowhere for it to go here's what can happen because this happened to me literally yesterday i was giving my dog a bath because he dug a fucking hole in the yard and got covered in dirt and mud and so i was giving my dog a bath and i have one of those stupid hoses you see on tv that's all tiny and then you in dirt and mud. And so I was giving my dog a bath, and I have one of those stupid hoses you see on TV that's all tiny, and then you put water in it, and it goes like, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, and it gets big, you know? Mine exploded.

Yeah. Well, I had one of those, and I had a little nozzle attached to the end of it that you put, like, dog soap in, and then you can spray your dog with it and stuff. And I set it down for a minute, and I went inside to get a towel or something, and I came back out a few minutes later and there was just

water pouring everywhere and my entire backyard was covered in water and I couldn't figure it out and I ran over and I turned it off and that fucking hose exploded. Yours went as well? It just exploded. Yeah, just like yours did. And it was creating the biggest fucking mess I've ever seen in my life. It was crazy.

It had just been left on like 20 minutes. That's our second exploded hose tail. So now we've got one for each podcast yeah that's crazy i wonder whose hose is going to explode next well hopefully not andrew's because it will explode in his office here i'm going to draw a design of what where i think the water might be going away would be environmentally environmentally bad. Hell yeah. So this is my favorite conversation we've ever had. Just everything that started that the way that it started with Andrew filling up his bottle in the tub to Gavin not drinking hot water to now running a hose and Andrew drawing a diagram about how this might not be environmentally. I feel like we haven't lost it

between podcasts this is my drawing I I needed an image to draw on top of so just ignore the primary point of the image this is the only way I know

how to draw stuff is by putting it into messenger and then drawing over an image that was placed hey before before we end the podcast while he's uploading this uh we should remember to talk about the last month now that we're on the other end of it we can like yeah yeah so everything we're only halfway through we got we got tons of time i know i'm just giving us a little note Oh, we don't get asked. You think we're like 30 minutes, dude Okay, so this is my drawing I said ignore the background image. I needed something white. You are an animal. To illustrate this.

Have you heard of cropping? Have you heard of just like take a screenshot of something white? Well we're on a podcast and I didn't have time to crop. Take a picture of the damn wall and draw that white one. Well I did it- Shhh. It doesn't matter. Just ignore it. I'm more interested in you just drew an L. Yeah, so this is this is what I'm more interested in you just drew an L. Yeah, so this is what I'm thinking, right? So I twist the thing and I say, hey, water, get in here. Come in here. And you see the light green line.

That's the hose. So the water's going up the hose and it's not going out because I have the thing saying, hey, don't get out of here. So the left side is the like user end Yes, that's the user and that would be where I could flip the nozzle or the switch and the water goes and fires What I don't know is it does the water continue to flow and because it continues to flow obviously it can't flow further into The hose where there's no room Does it well? I don't know where when I, okay, so I'm looking.

Let me ask you this. Yeah. When you've got like a tap and say you've got an outdoor tap, usually it has a hose on it. Yeah. Take the hose off. Forget about the hose. There's water pressure, right? It wants to leave the tap. But your tap, if you turn it off,

it blocks. It blocks the water yeah you're just doing that but further up well no i so when i look at when i look at an outside water tap right when i look at a tap i know that if i twist that nozzle that means water comes out. I don't know what's happening behind that. But you're not making water from that. Do you know how a nozzle works? No, I have no idea how a nozzle works. That's the entire point of this conversation. It's just a fucking water door.

All it does is open and close. It just opens a hole in the pipe to allow the water to go. So the water is always going. The water is at the door. It's like Hodor. The water is at the door the whole time, and the spigot is Hodor, and he's just holding the door.

He's holding the water back, and he's holding the water back so that all the fucking wildlings or whoever can fucking escape. And then every once in a while, you turn the hose, and Hodor lets the water out. The only way it's bad for the environment is if Hodor is kind of weak and he's leaking a little. Yeah.

Okay. So as long as there's no leak. You just got to make sure Hodor has all of his, what do you call those little rubber rings? Yeah, his seals. His O-rings? His O-rings. His H-rings. His O-rings. This is stupid.

It'd be nice if they did a Brit hose. Maybe you need to reinvent the hose, Andrew. Maybe that's... No, I don't. Okay. I don't understand any of this. I was going to say, you want him to reinvent the hose? You don't know how a faucet works.

What are you talking about? You could rig that up, Andrew. How far is the kitchen from where you're sitting? Does the kitchen have a window? Well, it's summer, the flies, I can't... There's a door. I can run it from one door to another door. On the inside? Well, there's a door i can run it from one door to another door on the inside yeah well there's patios okay there's a patio situation and then could you okay so jeff just posted an image of

how this works so the where where does the water go at the bottom it's just it's just not gonna help it's just it's just there you don go anywhere. It's just hanging out there. It's pushing up against the door. That's that little red screw? That's Hodor, man. It's water pressure from the water company.

Well, wait. The water company is providing pressure? Well, I assume the reservoir or whatever water management thing at the other end of the pipe is pushing water. Okay, so let's say I don't pay my water bill. When they shut off my water, what are they doing? They go out to the street in front of your house

where there is a shut-off valve, and they shut it off at the street so that... They Hodor it right there and then so the water can't even get to your yeah it's all it is it's a series of doors and pipes what is stopping you from just going out there and turning it back on with that big long

thing they might lock it or something I don't know also probably it's probably I don't know it's against the law I would assume stealing water I don't even know where I'd find it. I assumed it was in my house, to be honest. Most people don't know where to find it. There's a bunch of them in your house.

There's one under your sink that you can turn off right now. There's all kinds of doors along a water pipe. There's one right next to the toilet. Yeah, there's one behind the toilet. There's one next to every faucet. There's one at the faucet and. There's one at the faucet and five feet in front of the faucet and everywhere in your house.

How do they make sure that the water pressure isn't so much that it pushes in the door? How is that prevented? Science. Great. Okay, thanks. Well, a lot of valves can be closed like from the pressure like the pressure

keeps them closed and then you have to push them open a thing that we have happen in austin that i've never had happen before i moved here is that uh so much water gets into the treatment plant when it rains that they can't clean it in time for it to get to you, Andrew. So we have a boil notice. And for like 10 days, you have to boil your water because it makes it not potable. Yes. It's overwhelmed by the amount of water. Yes, exactly.

So it's a very intricate system. Water is an intricate series of doors. Yeah, it is. But when God says more, then we're fucked. And sometimes it's too full of bacteria from people's butts. And all this shit, all of this shit the Romans

figured out thousands of years ago without any electricity or technology. That's crazy. I don't believe that. You should. Well, I do believe it. Like, let me be clear. I'm not saying what you're saying is a lie. I'm not a that. You should. Well, I do believe it. Like, let me be clear. I'm not saying what you're saying is a lie. I'm not a water conspiracy theorist.

I just it's crazy. Water is a real. I want to just go around your house with you. I just point at stuff and be like, how does that work? Yeah, no, you can do that. Light switches. I got no idea. That would be a great supplement around my room.

Andrew explains things. You know what's funny is I've swapped, I've like installed dimmers before, but I don't know how any of it works. Like I've put in new switches, but I don't know. I'm going to go ahead and say that you shouldn't ever do that.

Yeah. No, I know how to do it. You turn the breaker off, you unscrew it, you loop the loops. But you know, I know how to do it. You turn the breaker off. You unscrew it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You do loop-de-loops. But you should. You know, it's really not that different from water.

The breakers are just doors. It's all doors. Open and enclose an electric current. Yeah. I think in Australia, you're not allowed to do your own electricianing. Really? Yeah. What if you are an electrician then i think it's fine okay

it'd be a weird rule if you were an electrician and you had to hire somebody else you had to hire someone at the place you work how are your dimmers by the way i i haven't had a dimmer in a long time but i haven't stalled them in the past and then they've always worked sweet never i've never had a fire uh related to dimmers just related to desk dogs desk dogs yeah that's a problem i'm trying to any other fires i think the hose the hose in in the window of the room you're in now i think that's gonna do wonders for you if you set that up i think you'll love that the problem yeah i'm worried someone's gonna steal the hose but that's because i had my doorbell stolen and how are they gonna steal it

like if you see the hose starting to you see it starting to pull backwards towards the window just grab it and then you get to play a fun game a tug-of-war with a thief attach a bell to it on the other end so you can hear it being stolen tie it around a table leg no i'm going to be i'm going to be laying in my bed with my headphones on with a waterfall going out of my head i'm not hearing my hose getting stolen no matter the amount of bells if someone stole it while you were using it. This gets ripped. Water just shooting everywhere. You've got to do this, Andrew.

I'll evaluate and I'll see. It would be a really long hose. It's going to solve so many problems you didn't even know you had. Just think of all the unintended benefits. I'm trying to think. You won't even know it until in the moment. Then you'll be like, oh, you know what? It would be great if I had a hose.

I do. And then you're going to be like, chalk another one up for a good idea. You'll be so much more hydrated as well. Because I feel like sometimes you might be feeling a bit thirsty, but then you're just like, nah. Yeah. And the nice thing about a hose is it can put that water in you fast.

Okay, so realistically, a good use of this would be, and I just can't, I think it's a bad idea. I'm not supposed to, but an inflatable hot tub would be great on the patio, and it would be very tight. There'd not be a lot of room for it. I'm not supposed to do something like are you talking like on your balcony yeah yeah that'd be real nice you think you can support

the weight of a hot tub an inflatable hot tub yes well most of the weight's gonna be in the water probably i would think well it's you know they're pretty big as well i i see what you're saying what's below your balcony another balcony yeah you might want to warn them to be very wet balcony but it's my balcony oh oh wow you're fine well you should warn yourself i i do want to note that uh full of water and people inflatable hot tubs can easily weigh up to 2500 pounds so just do less people and a little less water. Get it down to about 2K and you're good, dude. Do you happen to know,

can your balcony support the weight of a car? Because that's about what that is. Why wouldn't it be able to? I don't know. That's what I'm asking. If you think it can support a car, then it's like, if you could put like a Nissan Sentra on it, I think you can support a car. If you could put a Nissan Sentra on it,

I think you can put a hot tub. Yeah, I think I'm probably just a bad read on that. In my head, it's sturdy. Is it held up by beams from below, or is it just hanging out of the side of the building? I think it's just hanging out of the side of the building. You know what you could do? You could get some chains,

and you could loop them to the balcony. Is there anything above you? Here we go. Yeah. Just the building. You know what you could do? You could get some chains and you could loop them to the balcony. Is there anything above you? Here we go. Yeah. Just the roof. Here's what you do with the chains. Perfect. You get the chains, you loop them up to the roof and then you winch that so it's secure and now you've got extra support. Forget the roof. Put the chains hurl them straight over the top of the

building so they hang down on the other side and hold up a balcony on that side too. Perfect perfect idea so they're holding each other up yeah you don't even need chains for that you could do nylon rope probably that would hold what is the weight capacity of the average balcony dude we had that was an incident a couple years ago in austin like maybe 12 years ago where a bunch of people were having a party on a balcony on this fucking house over on the east side, and it was on the second floor,

and there were like 40 people on the balcony when it collapsed. And there was a lot of people got not severely, but decently fucked up from it. I have an answer immediately of, generally speaking, balconies are load rated to 50

to 100 pounds per square foot. And then immediately. And people also ask, can my balcony hold a hot tub? No. Well, there you go. And the answer is,

uh, almost always the best choice of most can hold a small hot tub. Most high rise apartments and condos, a balcony is built with reinforced steel and cement, which will not be damaged by steam. There's another one. Are balconies strong? Which I just, I love that as a search.

Like what a dumb, dumb guy. Are balconies strong? So it's like a hundred foot pounds per square foot. So I could figure it out. I can do the math on this. I can measure it. Did you see the comment lever that posted this picture? Yeah.

Oh, yeah. It is. That should be a K-Wing channel, right? Yeah. Well, not let me actually rephrase that. It is not a team 100 logo it is a green uh circular face symbol logo with regulation podcast logo which happens to be the face oh yeah we changed her name sorry

the lineage in that image is hilarious. I think that needs to be more like sequel things like that. Yeah. If the background was red on one side and blue on the other instead of all black, Jeff, we just have your whole situation going on there. Like there's my entire

adult life in 300 pixels. Oh my god. There weren't enough sequel bands i think sequel bands like b-a-n-d-s yeah like you had uh jefferson airplane and then yeah and jefferson starship and then starship it's like you can see the you can see every iteration there was oingo boingo and then they were just Boingo I believe. I'm not joking. I'm serious. Yeah, I think they became just Boingo at some point.

Any other ones? What other ones? Would you consider does every member have to be like how many members have to be in the new band for it to be considered a sequel? Like would you consider the Foo Fighters to be a sequel of Nirvana? No, I think it needs to be in the new band for it to be considered a sequel? Like, would you consider the Foo Fighters to be a sequel of Nirvana? No, I think it needs to be

51% or more. Okay. Yeah, it sort of turns into like a ship of Theseus, doesn't it? Like, sorry, you're taking out boards, I guess, band members

and replacing them with other ones. Well, there's a lot of bands out there that exist right now that are that. They have zero surviving original members. Still going strong.

It's crazy when that happens. Like Human League in the 80s, I think before they got really popular, all the original members of the band had left. So by the time that they got popular, it was just a bunch of people that didn't start Human League. It's like, oh, that doesn't make any sense.

That's crazy. Dude, I don't think any of the original members of GWAR are alive. Wild. That's crazy. That's insane. There's definitely not a single original member in that band, but I think maybe one of the last original member died this year or last year.

Oh, wow. That's crazy. Circling back to cool Ach achievement hunter uh regulation podcast logo we should talk about what's been going on since like over like the last month and sort of before that to how we came to be and how we have all of our rss feed stuff and everything set and settled i agree can we can we do that uh can i loop up music before i I have one more music thing I wanted to say. Oh, yeah, I didn't get that. I had a big, I don't know, I had a whole thing recently.

Do you ever, on like your TikTok feed or whatever, wherever your feed is, do you ever just get like, it decides randomly that you're going to get 50 versions of one thing? Like you've done nothing to influence it, but it's just like the algorithm is like, hey, need to watch this this is your thing to watch is that something that i've only experienced no great thank you good assistance good teamwork y'all episode four it feels like it yeah no i was just i was just waiting yeah that was fine yeah but there's silence i had to wait

for that i want because then if there wasn silence i had to wait for that i want because then if there wasn't i had to explain further i definitely call attention to the silence i randomly for some reason tiktok decided i needed to see a live performance of macamore doing downtown one day and i got like 10 different things of it and that is not that is a song i haven't thought about in a very long time how does it go it's just like downtown down and then they yell town a lot and there's something about uh leather and legs i don't know anyway i always thought that the person who did the chorus of that song was the best part of that song i don't't know their name. I don't know anything about them, but because I kept getting them on TikTok performing with Macklemore,

I thought I should look into this person and see what they've done. I don't know anything about them. So I did some research and I guess they're the lead singer of a band called Foxy Shazam. Does anyone here heard of Foxy Shazam? No, no, I had zero point of reference, but I'm not the biggest music guy, so I didn't know anything about them.

So I put Foxy Shazam into YouTube and I thought I'll just listen to some of their songs because I've never explored this. I like what the guy did in downtown. I'm interested to see. So I go through the first one and it's like, that's fine, whatever. I'm interested to see. So I go through the first one and it's like, that's fine, whatever. And then it was crazy because the second song I listened to,

I realized I've heard this song like 10,000 times. I had no idea it was him or was associated. It was one of the songs in NHL 13, which is a game that I played so much the UI burnt into my television. Like I spent thousands of hours making fake Vancouver Canucks teams in NHL 13. I love that game.

And it was crazy to think, oh, this guy that I was aware of but thought I had no connection to did a song that I've heard like 10,000 times and I had no idea. I immediately recognized it. I was having a great time. I'm going to post the lyrics.

So Foxy Shazam is one of your most listened to artists probably it is one of my most listened to artists and i didn't even know it but here are the lyrics uh if someone wants to read them so come on come on come on come on show me a little more come on come on come on i like it i like it i like it i like it a lot that's the chorus of that song and so i'm listening to it and i'm like that's this is take me back to the old days yeah i'll play in nhl 13 but then then we hit a little bit of blind side uh jeff could you i'll interject with the addition okay let me let me post easily i just lost my page great uh i fumbled this tremendously but i like it lead singer of this band okay is uh named eric this is i felt like i was getting blindsided by Eric when this happened oh fuck oh wait no

I just clicked on the wrong tab I just got lost on the tab here we go okay ready read it Jeff and then when there's an addition I'll cut in just read the lyrics and I will cut in I'm just gonna read it

oh come on show me a Oh, come on. Come on, come on, come on. Show me a little more. Come on, come on, come on. That's the biggest black ass I've ever seen. And I like it. I like it.

That's the biggest black ass I've ever seen. And I like it. I like it a lot. Canucks play off meta. Yep. That was part of my notes. Completely unrelated to that. but i had no idea

that song was about big black asses i've heard that song they edited that out of nhl 13 the version that you said at the top was how i have known that song for like 12 years. So it's like an edited, so it just skips lines in the song? Or have they like re-recorded it? No, so they just edited it, but it's not a popular enough song to have a radio edit. So the only version that's like that is in NHL 13,

and it's not in any other games. So I was trying to record it. I ordered a copy of NHL 13 so I could clip the version that I've heard and I'll get that eventually. But I was stunned at like 1 a.m. listening to this when it cut into black asses.

I had no idea. It blew my mind that that is what this song is about. I never really paid attention to lyrics to begin with but i definitely i was like i would have noticed that because it's yellow that must have been so because that kind of stuff when you've seen something a billion times and then you see like the unedited version it's so jarring were you like gobsmacked by that i couldn't believe it i was more shocked than when all the boba pearls flew into my mouth it was i truly felt

blindsided so which version do you like more i i don't know if i have a pic i'm still processing my feelings that i i feel like uh i've been lied to for the past did you feel like you were in a bizarro world for a second or did you immediately understand what happened and clock it or did it take you a second to figure out like am, am I being Mandela affected right now? No, I immediately. Do I have false memories? Only because I had played that game, as I said, for so many hours. Like the fact it was burned into my television.

I know that song. I know every song on that game. It's just, it stunned me. It never even occurred to me it could be a radio edit and the fact that it was and that's what was edited out but not even a radio edit they just chose not to include that do you think there are people of who have only heard the black eyed peas singing let's get it started oh absolutely i would say a lot of people 100 yeah i thought you were going to say, I'm curious how many people have only heard that song through NHL 13

like I have to this point probably a lot dude I wonder if more people know that version or the original version I don't think the original one was even a single so I, like it has to be

how do you go from like, we need to put we need to license music for our sports game we want some kind of hip fresh stuff uh nothing too expensive so we have to get some up-and-coming artists um here's a song about about big asses what if we cut all that does it sound like if you just like remove the word asked do you think hockey and somebody's like i think i could see a puck and they're like okay let's just cut all the references to ass out and then people just think we like hockey and they're like perfect put it in the it's cheap put it in the game do people still do that where they'll record different versions of the song for radio i think so yeah yeah i don't think there's a i don't think that's ever going away i just feel

like they just play it or like it now. Oh, yeah. There's a lot of like... I do hear a lot of hip-hop songs on the radio that are just muted at the moment. Yeah. I remember listening to... What was it? Purple Pills.

D12 song. Mm. Mm. And it's the radio one. It's just literally a completely different song. Like, all the lyrics are different. Oh, wow. How about that CeeLo Green classic, Forget You?

Oh, yeah. Anyway, sorry. We can talk about RSS and all that stuff. I just wanted to... Oh! We're talking about music. We should talk about RSS and all that stuff, but first, what if I pitched you guys on an idea on another way to make money in tandem to the regulation podcast or in case things go south

on the podcast and we need to pivot the other day it's been about it's been a while now i think i actually talked about this uh before i formalized the idea i think i might even mention it on or near anma. About a month or so ago, I was driving around and I was just in a neighborhood stuck at a stoplight and I was immediately behind a dump truck. And I don't really pay much attention to dump trucks, but that day I decided that that dump truck was interesting. It just like stuck out to me. And so I was looking at it and I realized a dump truck's not that big. Like it was, it fit on the road with me. And I was like, man, you could probably have a dump truck as your personal vehicle.

And then I was thinking about like the benefits of a dump truck. You look at the back, you could fit a lot of shit in that thing. Like I was thinking recently, I've been doing some furniture moving and stuff recently. And it's like, you get a moving truck. It's huge. It's a pain in the ass. A dump truck, you could throw most of a house in a dump truck very unceremoniously and it'd be like no big deal. Right. It's like a big pickup. And that got me thinking, what if you bought a dump truck and you turned it into a side business where you just like tape a

sign on the side of it that says, like, need a dump? And then you just like drive around to Walmarts and Home Depots just up and down the aisles and then you just like drive around to walmart's and home depots just up and down the aisles and then wait for your phone to ring and i guarantee you in a day you just drive to a dude's house he's like yeah i just got all this lawn furniture i want to get rid of and you don't even have to help him right you could be like anything you want throw it in my dump truck 200 bucks i'll get rid of it and then you just drive around for eight hours until your dump truck's full and then you go to the dump and you pay like 400 bucks to throw it out or whatever, probably clear like a grand or more. And if we got two dump trucks, Gavin, think about this.

We could have a two person or we could even get bigger and bigger and bigger. But I was thinking we could call it dump and dumper. We could have a dump truck and a dumper truck. And then we could just go around and provide the service and we're not really even doing any work we're just driving from point a to point b letting people throw their own shit in the dump truck so we don't even get out yeah we don't really have to get out we'll have to deal with it at the at the at the i guess the the city landfill or wherever we get rid of it uh there'll probably be some effort there but that's pretty much it and then also as we age and become successful we could change the name to dumpy old

men oh i like that seems to be mostly based around the name i yeah i got a lot of dump up the volume i got big dumps i got dump star i got pump and dump if you want to focus on gyms. I got, oh, there's a good one. Dumpty. The Boys of Dumpty? Yeah, Boys of Dumpty. We have a whole Humpty Dumpty thing in our past. So I wanted to call it Dumpasaurus, but that exists. There's already a service that does exactly that called Dumpasaurus.

What if, well, Dumpty could be if you just deliver golf tees. That's true. That's true. Or we could do bathtubs and we could be tub dumpers. So stupid. I guarantee you. Here, I've even done a little bit of work on it. Here, hold on a second.

Let me copy this. Are you allowed to just start your own landfill? Dude, if you had the land, I would think so. Here is an option. That is a Volvo V&L 64 T300 for sale. 24 grand. It's gorgeous. It's in Central Texas.

We could pick it up tomorrow, and bam, we could get started immediately. I'm not saying we should. I'm just saying it's nice to know that that's available out there for us. 24 grand. If and when we want it. And it's a 2008, man.

You know it's good. Yeah. It's already got 1,331,000 miles on it, and it's going strong. These things are built to last. Wait, it has what? Wait, it has 1,333,000 miles? That's what it says. Dude, it's worse than Duane Leacor.

Why the vehicle? It's not just for popping out to the shops. It's being driven all the time. A million is crazy. That's to the moon and back twice.

I guess it's done one point three. And we're not going nearly that far. We're just going through some rich neighborhoods to the dump. I will say,

I like where your head is at. I am wondering if maybe you just need to play some more trucks. Maybe you're just missing trucks and you're trying to find a way to bring them back into your life. I think you're right. There might be some truth to that, but dude, come on. Rolling around in a dump truck called Dump and Dumper

or Dumpy Old Men would be pretty fucking cool. And as silly as it is i guarantee you that business model immediately works and i bet within a month and a half you've paid that off and you're just making pure profit i think you're underestimating how much it costs to dump a whole dump truck's worth of well i looked into it i looked into it and i couldn't find i thought i do my research i couldn't find any landfills that listed prices for dump trucks but for the biggest truck they had listed it was like 250 bucks but i think you could probably fit a good ten thousand dollars worth of stuff in one dump truck

by the end of the day so if you have to pay even a grand as a dumping fee you're still taking home you know nine grand a day or something i wouldn't trust that dump truck on my patio i don't think it could support that that's fair looking at the truck i think it's too big what if it was if you treated it kind of like an ice cream van where you had like a special dump song that played and as you drove around the neighborhoods people would hear the dump song and come running outside with chairs and stuff i really like that as well would it be thong song and it's just the dumps like a truck part over and over again? It would just be dumb and dumber. Them singing Mockingbird.

Over and over and over again. Yeah. We've locked in a dump truck song. We don't even have a theme song for this podcast yet, but we have a dump truck song. Why don't we have a theme song for this podcast yet, but we have a dump truck song. Why don't we have a theme song? We have to pick one or something. I don't know.

We'll just get the old one. Make one? I don't know. Can we just buy it or something? Well, if we have the rights to it for the other podcast, we've still got the rights to it. That is a good point. We now have our rights.

We don't have the rights to that song That is a good point. We now have our rights. We don't have the rights to that song. Yeah, that is not how that works. We definitely no longer have the rights to it. It is also very expensive.

So if you want to make a theme song, let us know, I guess. I made one for So Alright the other day. That was pretty good. Really? What did you use?

Did you hear it? Dude, I fucking used my mouth to do it. Oh. I'm like a Bobby McFerrin. Yep. Nick's heard it. Can we get a preview? No, fuck you. Oh, come on. You can't do it right now?

Just a little bit? I don't remember it. This is already a long episode. We're supposed to talk about our RSS stuff. Oh, we should get into that. Let's talk about it. Yeah, no, we should have done it 15 minutes ago. No, we're at this point. I'm sorry. I just wanted to revolutionize the dump

industry real fast. Okay, we can cut all that out and just go to the RSS stuff. If we do dump and dumper, I want to drive dumper. I, can I be honest with you?

I thought you would. Thanks. Yeah. No, I was already ready to give, to concede dumper to you. Do I need a special license? We might. We absolutely might. We'll have to look concede dumper to you. Do I need a special license? We might.

We absolutely might. We'll have to look into that. What if I only have that license, though? I can't drive anything below 16 tons. I got a level 4 commercial license. Do you want to drive my Volvo? Oh, I wish I could.

Oh, Christ. All right, let's get into it all. I'm excited. Me too. I don't know anything about our says feeds. Eric. No, you guys got it. Go ahead.

Gavin. Go Gavin. Eric, you wanted us to talk about this for the last 45 no no I'm not the one who I'm not the one who brought it up the first time or the second time I tried to steer it to here that's it so okay take it take it away uh Jeff hey what what's up it's your boy little Jeffy here and uh we're an hour into the podcast and you're doing introductions and uh I just want to talk about you know, I don't know if you're aware, but Rooster Teeth, the company we all used

to work for, very recently very quietly, wasn't well brought. A lot of people didn't hear about it. It certainly wasn't well explained or documented publicly, but that company Rooster Teeth very quietly closed down in the middle of the night. Nobody saw

it coming. Nobody knew. We were all caught off guard by it. We certainly didn't have months and months and months of excruciating time to prepare for it. And so as a result of that, our little podcast, the F*** Face podcast, we lost the rights to because it was owned by Rooster Teeth Productions because we created it

while in the employ of Rooster Teeth Productions. And so when Rooster Teeth was shut down by Warner Brothers, all of the intellectual property that the employees made as employees or that was owned by the company became the rights of Warner Brothers, who was willing to

work with all the individual content creators to, or you know, Rooster Teeth employees that were interested in the IP that they had worked on or created to try to help them acquire those rights, I guess would be the way to say it. And that's a, turns out a very long and painful process. And it's not anybody's fault. I don't think any of us were mad at anyone or, you know, it wasn't like us versus Warner Brothers or Rooster Teeth or anything like that.

It's just there's a lawyer for every lawyer and everything needs to be checked and cross-checked and spelled out explicitly in contracts and stuff. And some stuff was real easy to get. I got so all right in about 13 minutes. But face was a really valuable property for Rooster Teeth. And because of that, it was more complicated to acquire the rights to. And so we did, but it just took a long time. It was a double whammy too, because not only was it

profitable enough that it was worth something, it also wasn't like a big heavy hitter like a Ruby or a Red vs. Blue. It was just some dogshit little podcast in the corner. So it didn't necessarily have the priority of the heavy hitter, even though it did require an actual purchase. Right. We're not Death Battle or Ruby or Red vs. Blue.

We're not that high up on the food chain, but we're high enough on the food chain to be on the food chain. And so it just, there was a lot of, you know, it was just a lot of back and forth and, you know, trying to acquire what we could and as much as we could. And, you know, we're very happy to report that we own the entire back catalog of face. We own the name face. We own all of the merchandising designs for face all of the supplemental face content we own face off which was the first exclusive show uh the only stuff we didn't maintain the rights to

was the let's play content and the song i guess and the song the let's play content and the song and we've wanted to talk about it and explain it along the way, and we've been very close. But it has literally been, for the last I would say three weeks, a it's all going to be worked out tomorrow. So just wait till tomorrow. And then it's like tomorrow rolls around and we're like, you know, there was one other person had to take a look at something, or

this got kicked back for this one little thing, so it'll probably be tomorrow. And it's just been tomorrows for a couple weeks. But we're finally through all that. And it was a lot of work on Gavin's end. I really appreciate all the work you did, Gavin. You definitely took the lead on that in a lot of ways. And it means a lot.

Absolutely. Yeah. Huge for us. Thank you so much. It was fun to finally step up in the final days of the company and use my email for real business. And then in the middle of all that,

my email got turned off. But one of the advantages of having the IP now is we have our old feed, right? So people can now listen. If they were subscribed to F*** Face, they will now get the regulation pod in that place, as well as we offer a ad-free version on our Patreon at $10 at the extra medium tier.

The rollout wasn't ideal. You know, we were kind of dealing with, we were trying to shoot at moving targets all along the way. And, you know, we made some missteps of course, but the most important thing for us was to be there and to be available and not skip a beat. You know, we said that in as many ways as we could over and over again, that we, for the audience, we want it to be, and it clearly, it wasn't transparent at all, but we wanted it to be as transparent as possible. You listen to us on one Wednesday, rooster teeth goes out of business, regulation spins up.

You listen to us the next Wednesday in the same place at the same time like nothing ever happened. We wanted to make it as easy and seamless as possible on y'all as we could. And we did assume that it would be a shit show. We did. We just still wanted to do it anyway. And I think even though it wasn't seamless, we still didn't have a gap. And I'm super happy about that super happy about it yeah it was it didn't go perfectly but we didn't expect it to and we just more than anything we just wanted to be there and making content

and like this is i don't know i i hope it comes across but um you know this is outside of my family the flesh and blood of my family. This is the most important thing in my life. And, uh, I get, it means everything to me. And, uh, it, the idea of stopping, uh, would, it would, it would crush my soul. And so I didn't want to stop. I didn't want to stop. I don't want to pause.

I didn't want to stop for don't want to pause i didn't want to stop for a week let alone a day and i would rather deal with the foibles and uh the little fires that pop up along the way then stop and wait and wait and wait because if we did that we'd probably be recording episode one today oh god yeah that's probably i didn't think about that that's probably true. I didn't even think about that. That's terrible. Yeah, no. I'm so glad. Can you imagine spending the last five to six weeks totally sitting on your hands, not communicating with our audience, not communicating with each other in this way, not creating this thing that we're all in love with

and obsessed with? Yeah, I couldn't. It just wasn't an option. And so thank you so much to the audience, to every comment lever and regulation listener for your patience with us, with our temporary feeds and our temporary solutions and following us along the way.

Now we have our forever homes. I think the only thing we still would like to do at some point is change the Instagram name, but that's not a huge priority today. And I think we're finally settled and in our groove, right? I think like as of this episode, we're like, we're good.

This is the first episode we've recorded 100% good and ready to just move forward, kick an ass. Yeah. Hell yeah. Absolutely. So we have our regular, where you get the podcast and everything channel, but we also have a secondary channel because just because we don't have the

rights to our old gameplay didn't mean that we wanted to stop doing gameplay altogether. So we do have the secondary YouTube channel where all of our gameplay and other things will be going. So you can subscribe to both channels and check them both out because we're updating frequently. And then there's even more stuff on the Patreon so it's very exciting and I'm very excited

to continue to do this stuff with you guys you think Precum is kind of a lazy name? say it again? is what a lazy name? did you say Precum? he said Precum as like a closer but I'm

not done talking. what's lazy about it? it just doesn't have it's own name.-cum. As like a closer, but I'm not done talking. What's lazy about it? It just doesn't have its own name. Pre-cum? It's just pre. It's adding pre to a thing. It'd be like if you ordered orange juice, but your empty glass was just called pre-juice. You could just technically apply it to everything.

Like if tortillas were pre-burrito. I think technically it would be like if somebody gave you a glass and then walked by and put the tiniest squeeze from an orange in it and said, I'll be back later with the rest. So then when I put down the first slice for a sandwich, just a piece of bread and it's pre-sandwich. It's pre-sandwich. Oh man and it's pre-sandwich? It's pre-sandwich. Oh man, I got pre-sandwich everywhere. Oh, the pre-sandwich went moldy. Fuck. I just had to throw away so many pre-sandwiches.

This is a mold. Oh my god. We should put a bow on our thing. I have an exciting announcement to make that we're excited about no don't say oh christ it's a genuine i just don't know what it is i know we don't know what it is i don't know we kind of know what it is we talked about a little bit the cookbook we have a cookbook oh that we released a long time ago yeah yeah and people have been wondering about a pdf version they've been very patient with us and we've been saying hey we're working it out a lot of that working it out was what we just talked about of like all of it was

that yeah 100 of it there's not a little bit of it there's all so now now that we have it settled that is going to become available to all of our patrons for free no matter what tier you're at five dollar ten dollar whatever any of your tiers you will get that for free and we're also going to put it up in our shop for 6.99 so if you just want to buy it and you don't want to be a patron totally fine it will be available as in a pdf form on our patreon page which i assume we have linked in the description of this podcast i'm i'm making a note right now to even say cookbook is out in pdf form at patreon.com slash the regulation pod. So enjoy that.

It's I love our cookbook so much. I'm so happy that we were able to make that. Jeff, you did such a great job with the photos. The art in it is fantastic. I'm so glad that people that were not able to get the physical version will now have access to a lot of why a lot of wise written words in that book, too. A lot to pay attention to. I'm also very excited about it. That book was definitely a labor of love for Tony,

who did the vast majority of the work on it, I think. It was something that we're very proud of and excited to be able to share it with more people. Is the Regulation podcast just longer than the other one? I don't think so. Not at all. We just had to catch up. It's not. Speaking of which, we should probably wrap it up.

We just had that whole serious RSS discussion and the explanation to sum up why we've talked around things for the last month and not been able to just be 100% open as we go through it. We just couldn't why we've talked around things for the last month and not been able to just, you know, like, I don't know, be 100% open as we go through it. We just couldn't potentially damage

any negotiations or deals. But I do, in all sincerity, I do want to say a special thank you to Jordan and Hannah and Yuri and Hirsch and everybody at Rooster Teeth who, after they got laid off just like us, stuck around to help negotiate these licensing deals

and help us acquire our intellectual property because that was a lot of work for them and they definitely didn't have to care so much as they were also losing their jobs. So I really do appreciate everybody that helped us get our independence. Yeah, absolutely. The ability to just text Hannah instead of have to deal directly with someone I've never

spoken to at Warner, absolutely game-changing throughout that whole process. And they were just, they were so helpful and kind and seemed to genuinely want to help us get our rights. And I just, I really, really, really appreciate it. want to help us get, uh, to get our rights. And I just, I really, really, really appreciate it. It would have been so much harder without them.

If at all possible, you know, what a great episode. It was nice. Sync back up. I'm excited for next week. Don't even have to wait a full week. Are we allowed to call our own episode a great episode?

Yeah, I think so. Absolutely. Oh, I didn't even get to ask andrew uh if he learned his chair oh you have to wait till next week that's a little tease little tease that's a no i love it that's awesome definitely that's definitely a no that's a that's a that's a oh shit i have a week to learn my chair now christ no big old tease i i want to tease that That's a, oh shit, I have a week to learn my chair now. Christ. Nope.

Big old tease. I want to tease that I got a new chair also. So there's new chair discussion in the next episode. A lot of chair content next episode. We'll let you know who learned their chair first. I'm really, really excited. Oh, while we're teasing stuff about chairs, I'd like to tease out, here's a tease.

Did Jeff get a new chair? Tune in next week to find out. Maybe he did. Probably he didn't. Oh. You don't know. Thanks for listening. Bye.
