I mean, that doesn't help us. Oh, wait, no, no, no. Sh... Dumb. No, shut up. If you swear at the beginning beginning it hurts us algorithmically and i need you to know that it hurts us algorithmically there's no company andrew it hurts us we are the ones who are hurt by this we're like that dude in the da vinci code who hits himself in the back with a rope ball because he loves to practice self-flagellation.

You know what I mean? The thing is... How do you flagellate? You hit yourself in the back with a ball. Oh. Yeah. I thought I explained it right out the gate. I guess I've been flagellated a lot by other people. Well, that's you.

Yeah, you've been other people flagellated, not self-flagellated. Got it. What are we doing, Jeff? Should we start it? Hello and welcome to the inaugural episode of the Regulation Podcast. This is episode number one. My name is Jeff Ramsey.

Population Podcast. This is episode number one. My name is Jeff Ramsey. With me, as always, Andrew Panton, Gavin Free, Nick Schwartz, and Eric Badour. Was all that other stuff cut? I don't know. What happened to the other stuff? That's an editor thing.

Oh. Oh. Well, it's just... Definitely call attention to it in case it was cut, though. Well, I am because it's important because this is a new show technically uh and uh there we only get one opportunity the first person to say certain things but you just said da vinci that's a great word you're the first use of da vinci on the show i was trying to plant the shit flag backflip china shop china shop's good i don't think i would ever got the china shop though I don't think I would ever got to China Shop, though. I don't think anyone said China Shop in 206 slash 205 episodes of Fuckface.

I would love to know if anybody said Backflip, China Shop, or Da Vinci in the last 206 episodes. Backflip had to have come up. Probably. How many times, though? At least twice, I would say. I'll be honest. how many times though at least at least twice i would say i'll be honest i was very tempted to call a blindside 16 seconds into this recording but andrew went in so heavy with the bop bop bop bops that i felt like that would be that would have been too much i don't believe you because

you never played your blindside last time this will be the first blindside you've used i was gonna play it just now you fool are we resetting all the Blindsides? Well, now that's a question. Are we resetting all the rules in general? Do we have Blindsides? That was a fuckface thing. This is regulation. Does it carry over?

Yeah, so we should say to first-time listeners, first-time discoverers of this podcast, we did 205 episodes of a previous podcast. Yeah, well, we made it to episode 206, but we recorded 205. Right. And then we all lost our jobs. So now we're doing it

again with a different name. And the listeners, the regulation listeners, have been, well, I guess the comment leavers have been asking very important questions. Does their comment leaver status get reset? And I think it does. I do too.

I think if you haven't left a comment yet on Regulation Podcast, you can retain regulation listener status for as long as you want. Now, here's the thing. We are five way business owners here, so we all get a vote. I vote that they are still comment leavers.

Ooh. I say status remains. So we have two for reset, one for remain. Yeah, I still vote that it's a clean, it's a fresh slate. Yeah, I think it's a reset. I think it's a three. And Nick said I think so as well, so it's four to one

majority rules. That's fine fine I got no problem all right congratulations everyone who is you literally all of you right now as of this recording you are all regulation listeners but I would say there is something to be said for people who blow it in the first in the comments of the first episode if you want to trade in immediately for comment lever, I think that's honorable. Yeah.

So we'll see what happens. I wonder who, I don't even know how we would determine it, but I wonder who the very first comment lever will be. Hobby. Okay. That's a very, very, if you don't get that joke. Very, very, very old reference

from like two companies ago at this point. I don't even know if we can say hobby. That might be Warner IP at this point. We can't make that joke. Can we even talk about what IP we do own at this point now that we're recording this? Nope.

Well, we can't. We can't say we don't have our IP currently. You're right. We shouldn't. Yeah, we're in the process of working all that out. There you go. We're figuring it out. I think the fact that we're on a different feed is an indication of that. I don't think there's anything wrong with saying we're working on it, and we

are hoping to soon have it. Yeah, we're working in good faith with other people who are working in good faith. Hey, I wanted to do something a little special because this is an inaugural episode. So I've been working on something in the background, something I kind of teased

in the past. I proposed as an idea. I won't say how long ago, but, you know, somewhere in the last 206, 205 episodes. And I would like, I think I should just

give it to you guys and let you all, like, sync up and play it yourselves, but I prepared a little file that I think you guys might be interested in. You got a clip? I got a clip, yeah. It's an audio file. I'll wait for a dong file.

It's not a dong file. Let me find it. As a quick aside. Yeah. Okay. Happy Sunshine Day. Yeah, okay. Happy sunshine day Wav this is a 20 megabyte file that is Less than a minute 55 seconds long

Okay, okay. I'm gonna. I'm gonna let it play in three two one oh Come on Come on. Oh, it's, dude. Oh, no. Come on. Oh, it's so loud, too. You know why it's loud? Because it sounds like a waterfall. It works. Hang on.

It sounds like a water feature. Eric yells at me for saying shit at the first 30 seconds of the show, and Jeff is just sharing 55 seconds of piss. Yeah, but algorithmically that's not going to get picked up on. I don't care. You don't think the AI is listening out for piss? No.

Oh, now we get to hear the dribbles. Oh, they go for so long. Please listen. I prepared this specially for you. Jeff, this is... I find this deeply disturbing in a way I did not anticipate. Excellent. I hate this. I had to way I did not anticipate. Excellent. I hate this. I had to look at Gavin's vagina last week, all right?

That's what I was going to say. Did you expect that photo to be out, Gavin? Did anyone run that by you? I was shocked that that made it into the video. He said it in the episode. He didn't care. Okay. So anyway, for the audience,

my supposition in the previous podcast was that if you recorded yourself peeing and then laid the urine tracks over each other enough, you could eventually make a sound that essentially sounds like Niagara Falls, right? Just like a raging waterfall. What you guys just listened to was just 11 peas. Wow.

Well, it sounded like a kind of a fancy water feature, like something like a fountain. I really hated the starting and stopping. Imagine 89 more peas laid on top of that. Imagine 100 urines all stacked together and auditioned and played at the same time. It would be insane. And that's where we're headed. That's my next goal. I'm going to get to 100. How long do you think it would take you to get to 100 dude i've been recording them since i since i proposed that to you guys that day and you'd be amazed at how many how many recordings just don't work out that's that's the 11 that's good enough the good takes how do you how do you mess up a piss piss? You have your fucking thumb over the mic

so it doesn't sound good or too far away from the toilet or you're pissing in a public urinal and it's like you're trying to do it on the down low. Those were all in my house. Every one of those is in my house. Every one of those was in my house. What?

And then I'll be honest, a lot of times I don't remember to record. Thumb over the mic like a grandma on time why are you trying to record it in public well I'm not always because you don't want to let a good piss go to waste man you mentioned going into a bathroom and seeing a guy standing at a urinal with headphones on and a fucking boom mic well if he's got like the boom he's not got any hands on his car oh god he's gonna be free swinging of all the things i

think we've done on the show jeff this is the thing that has made me the most nauseous i think oh you actually feel sick yeah i actually i don't know something about that i do just the sound just the sound of russian water man i'm immediately trying to think of a design of something like where you could hold a boom mic and from the end of the boom mic would be like a hammock of fabric that you could rest your penis in and potentially steer the penis and the boom mic together. If you could design that in such a way so that you can flip it around to the back to catch farts, I'll pay you $500 for that. Well, I don't think flipping it, quickly whipping the boom

around to the back would yank your penis pretty severely, I think. You gotta figure out something in the design, though, because the hardest thing in the world, like, I wish I could have my butt... I wish to God I could have my butt mic'd constantly. I miss so many farts. Or the act of, like, trying to get

a phone to your butt to record the fart ruins the fart. I've eaten a lot of farts just in the process of trying to record them. It really sucks. Well, maybe a double-ended boom mic then. I've eaten a lot of farts. That's an interesting idea. Double-ended boom mic. Like a boom halo that sits kind of around your midsection with microphones pointed at

your dick and your ass. I feel like stereo for a giant. Yeah. Yeah. Kind of. Anyway, I'll, I'll be back when I get another 89 solid pisses recorded and then we'll,

we'll see if it really does sound like Niagara Falls, but I'm pretty impressed with what only 11 P's sounds like. I'm surprised. Yeah, that's pretty effective yeah yeah it was it was overpowering i think i'm more of a fart recording guy if i had to pick between one or the two if i had to support one of your endeavors i'm more fart now here's where the farts more here's the beauty of that andrew you don't have to pick i'm gonna going to do both regardless. That's fair. So you get the benefit of both either way. It'd be really funny if we eventually do another vinyl way down the road.

If there is like a track of just a looping fart of your, like the whole rotation of the disc is just different farts. And it just plays in a nonstopstop loop if you put it in that grid if you want because you know the goal with the farts for me is to release an audiobook online called a thousand and one farts right and it's just those parts if we could then press those onto vinyl i think that's a great accompany piece for the audio book. And vinyl is highly collectible. I mean, as is evidenced by our previous podcast, I'm looking at a blue and a white version of the Fuckface episode 16 vinyl on my desk right now,

and they're just gorgeous. I can't wait to get back to that. Yeah, they're really nice. What's the quickest, before we leave the bathroom really quick, what's the quickest, most unexpected issue you've had leave the bathroom really quick uh what's the the quickest most unexpected issue you've had in the bathroom have you ever have you ever had any accidents that were not necessarily toilet like have you fallen you ever fallen in a bathroom before uh i think i sneezed

myself off the bog once how like diagonally where did you go i sneezed like i jolted forwards and then i i started to rock forwards so i tried to like hike my legs uh upwards to try and clamp the bowl but it was too slick and i just slid and i just fell face first and uh i really made a mess of my cheeks i clenched up real good. Oh, God. When was that? I would say 2008, maybe. It wasn't at one of my houses, was it?

No. Why? How many you got? I mean, right now, one, but you lived with me at different points in different places. No. Well, I didn't shoot feces up into the air anything it was all contained god because of height because i've such an effective clench that is so much worse than i was imagining i think i told this story on this very podcast about how uh i fell through the i sat on a toilet that fell through the floor once in the Army. Yeah.

But I also woke up in a lot of bathrooms back in my heavy drinking days. So I definitely have passed out in a lot of bathrooms. And I guess didn't hit anything too dangerous because I never woke up bloody. But yeah, I definitely woke up on the floor and wondered how I got there a bunch. Where did you wake up after you huffed all the gasoline? After I huffed all the gasoline at that time in the army? I mean, there was a lot of gas in my high school years. Oh. I woke up in the back of a

pickup truck being taken to the hospital. Oh, man. Yeah. Oh, man. Imagine how much simpler life would have been if I just never woke up. Oh, my God. For you? I just would have avoided all this. Yeah.

That's something to think about. My whole life would be completely different. I would live somewhere else. It might be really good. It might be really good. I, uh, the other day I woke up, I went to use the bathroom. Like, this is immediately, I start my day, wake up,

go into the bathroom, and the act. I start my day, wake up, go into the bathroom. In the act of getting ready to sit on the toilet, my left foot slid. It slid across the floor. I fell down, knees first. Are you still facing the toilet at this point? My back is to the toilet. So you're about to squat. I'm about to squat, and then my left foot just slides

unexpectedly and i immediately go down and i'm not expecting it go knees first head into that waste basket that i told you about that i put my foot in before and it was just it was shocking and it was the most unexpected way to start a day. And I just had that moment of like removing my head from my wastebasket going, what do I, how do I go on from here? Do I just go back to bed? Like, what is this? Did it smell like foot? It didn't.

It didn't smell like anything. It's just, I'm so glad it's empty and that nobody uses it. It would be, it would have been real gross potentially, but it was just head in basket So you were you were hanging dong at this point? Yes Hang and dong Full on side splits legs drop head forward right into the wooden waist mask

I definitely would have gone back to bed. Well ludicrous start just try again That's a mulligan on the whole day. It was such a surprise. None of it hurt. Like it was just a totally like I didn't feel any pain of falling. It was just shock. You didn't pull any muscles or anything. You really muscles pulled. Wow.

Yeah. It's just I got back up and I sat on the toilet and I thought, what the fuck? What is today? What is happening? what the fuck what is today what is happening you you just unlocked a memory uh of me that i probably haven't thought of in 20 years before uh back before rt but when i was still living in austin when i like when i first started working at the tech center and i was like i think i was living with gus at the time um i had my very first house one of the bands that i used to roadie for back in the day was in town and

they were staying with me, uh, while they were visiting. And one of the members of the band was taking a shower in my like second bathroom, not my master bathroom, but you know, my second bathroom.

And we heard this like slamming and banging and commotion. And we didn't know what the hell was going on. And we ran in and my bathroom was just a war zone. And what happened was he said he was getting out of the shower and he tripped on the lip of the shower, like his foot did, like on the side of the tub. And he had he was holding the shower curtain with his like his left hand when he did it. And so he fell forward and he pulled too hard. He's a bigger guy guy he pulled and the shower

curtain and the rod came down on top of him so he grabbed at the uh he like fell into the wall and grabbed at the the towel railing and ripped it off the wall which forced me to bounce back he slammed into my toilet and broke the toilet cover off of my toilet and then his shoulder hit into the countertop which was one of those molded plastic counter with the sink a little like a shell and he cracked the the edge of my countertop completely off and he was just on the ground rolled up in a towel like in the in the curtain, and my entire bathroom was ruined in the span of four seconds. It sounds like he was playing skate,

like where you're trying to break as much shit as possible. Yeah, right? It was like burnout revenge. It was like OJ Simpson in, not when he killed his wife, but when he was in Naked Gun, and he was just like, you know.

And he's like, foot in the bear trap, get shot out the window. It was in Naked Gun, and he was just like, you know. And he's like, foot in the bear trap, get shot out the window. It was 100% like that, which also just reminded me of the time that we did Rain Run, which was one of those old videos on the RT site, Gavin. And when I split my leg open, and I ran into the bathroom,

and I bent over to look at my leg, and when I stood up, I knocked that glass shelf off, and I was naked, and all the glass and everything in the bathroom slammed to the ground around me, and I was covered in a wasteland of broken glass with a fucking gash in my leg Yeah, I think that was time number one of probably six that your penis fell out in front of me Yeah, I think that was the first time yeah

That guy it sounded like he was a human pinball like you know when it gets caught in the bumpers Like that's not rad he did that to your bathroom Like, you know when it gets caught in the bumpers? It's just... Like Vance and all around? He did that to your bathroom. Nobody would know that he was the saxophone player in a very popular band either. Clumsy motherfucker. Caused a lot of damage to a bathroom that I didn't have the money to fix at the time. You also had parties where people would

break your sinks and toilets and stuff. That did happen at the next house one time at a party. Somebody sat on a pedestal sink and just fucking cracked it in half. Yeah. It was a friend of a friend, if I remember correctly. 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 with opening moves you simply choose a question to be automatically sent to your matches then sit back and let your matches start the chat. Download Bumble and try it for yourself. Would you, if you paid $1,000,

could you shoot a horse in the head? What? Wait, I have to pay to shoot the horse or I get paid to shoot the horse? You pay to shoot the horse. What? Do I get in trouble? No.

So it's like the $1,000 keeps me legally clear for horse murder? Is the horse ill in any way? No, the horse is perfectly healthy. Oh, Jesus Christ. How old is the horse? I think I could go take out some horses and just get away with it. It's like $13,000 right there I'm saving. Oh, my God.

Why would I pay to kill a horse? Yeah,'t i'm glad you asked because it's christopher reeve's horse the night before he got paralyzed it's like a like a shoot baby hitler in the bassinet kind of a scenario you killed superman's. Now would you pay the grand to go and kill his horse? You know, that'd be so funny too because Christopher Reeves would then make it his life's goal to ruin you.

And the whole time you're like, listen, I'm from the future. You don't understand. I've just, you were, your neck was going to be broken. Like I've saved you. I've saved your life and you will never believe me.

You just think I'm a psycho who shot your show horse do we need to kill the horse couldn't we just take the horse away couldn't we just

steal the horse you don't have time I don't have time okay here's what happens you warp backwards in time and you have

eight seconds with the horse and you've brought a gun you can't convince the horse in eight seconds not to do it. And I don't think you could take it down barehanded. Yeah. Yeah, I don't...

You're going to have to shoot it. I'm not killing a horse. So you wouldn't do it? So you're killing Christopher Reeve then? Yeah. No, it's just, you know... You can't fuck with time like that. If movies have taught me anything,

you can't adjust time. like that if movies have taught me anything you can't adjust time that always just makes things worse i don't think it's destined to happen no matter what i think yeah it's either it's either destined to happen no matter what or by it not happening it could have impacts in ways unimaginable so So, hold on. Are you saying that if you had the opportunity to go back in time and shoot that wastebasket before you ended up with your head in it, you wouldn't do it? Oh, I'd shoot the fuck out of that wastebasket. There you go.

Yeah, that's a good point. Can I tell, just as an aside, one of my favorite, I actually have a horse shooting story that I've brought to joy for for years not a real horse but i do have this this touches into one of my favorite memories which i know it sounds horrible in this context we're gonna unravel this onion back in red dead redemption i don't know did you guys play much of red dead online yeah i used to do a ton of videos in it and shit.

They had, there's a heist. Like you could do heists in that game, essentially of like Wild West stuff. And they were like chaptered heists. So we're going through and we're doing this heist and we're working through and it's like four or five sections. And we get to the last section

where we've taken all the gold and we need to escape. And we're like reading the mission objective and while we're doing it my friend dan you can just hear pop pop pop and we look at him and we go what are you doing and he's like i'm stopping him he was shooting all of the horses on the carriage in the head because he thought he thought that that was like the police's carriage that they would chase us on it was our carriage He murdered three of our four horses before we even tried to escape so that we're like no you idiot We got it. That's our carriage. You've killed three of the four now

We got to try to get out of here now. You've got one horsepower We have one horsepower and we're trying to escape Mexico, and we're getting shot at from all sides, and it's supposed to be like you can make it because you have four horses, but because he was trying to do... He, like, popped all of our tires, essentially, right before we tried to escape, and that horse died. He shot three horses. Did he pay you $3,000? He did not. No, we actually probably lost.

He owes you three grand. I'd go collect it. Yeah, the heist failed. So we did not get any of the money because he murdered all of our getaway horses. Did the remaining horse have to drag three horse corpses, or were they left behind? They were left behind. Okay. Well, at least they got hooked.

They did, yeah. How often do you think when you see on the news some senseless horrible thing like that like some psychopath went into a zoo and shot a zebra or something that it's actually like a time travel thing where somebody's trying to do it's like a christopher reeves horse type situation and just nobody believes it i don't think you should ever write that off yeah i think you should always consider that as being a potential reason for anything that's tragic but nonsensical on its face. So who out of the group would do it?

I wouldn't pay to shoot Christopher Reeve's horse, but I would do it. You have to pay for the time travel. It's the ticket to get there. I'd rather spend the grand on a better... I'm not that big of a Christopher Reeves fan. There's probably something else I could spend the thousand dollars on time travel-wise. So you're

valuing the next thousand dollars you spend on Christopher Reeves being alive right now or dead? The problem with... Is it Reeve or Reeves? I think it's Reeves, but... Oh no, it's Keanu Reeves. Is it just Reeves? I think it's Reeves, but... Oh, no, it's Keanu Reeves. Is it just Reeves?

I think it's Christopher Reeves. I think it's Christopher Reeves, and then George Reeves was the one before him. No relation to Keanu, I assume, because I don't think they were Canadian. I know Keanu is. Do we explain that there's the three of us talking, and also we have Eric, the producer,

and Nick, the laughing guy? You just did? Yeah. Okay. Good, and also we have Eric, the producer, and Nick, the laughing guy. You just did? Yeah. Okay. Good job. He named us all at the beginning, which was very nice. I thought that was a, well, what a polite thing to do. I don't think I would pay $1,000 to shoot a horse, no.

No. Even if it could save Superman's life? You are the first one that said no, aren't you? Why are you questioning me? He's not happy with your answer well i just you might have different motivations than i do why are you arguing the point that you said you wouldn't do everybody's different we need to take a step back and we do we should take a step back we need to because think about this gavin is so fucking willing to kill this horse. It's such a given and a hypothetical for him that he's created a $1,000 barrier for like no reason.

The $1,000 is kind of irrelevant to that's not the ethical dilemma. I wanted that to be a financial impact. I don't. It's like you're giving like that's a lot of money, but I don't think that that's the barrier. It's like, oh, man, I would have killed that horse, but i don't think that that's the barrier it's like oh man i would have killed that horse but i don't have the thousand or like the reverse of it i don't think the thousand means anything all right how about this would you pay a thousand dollars to kill andrew but he's reborn the next day yes yes yes no, yes. And Christopher Reeves is safe.

Oh. No, I couldn't kill a person. You did it. We're at Key West. You did it a thousand different ways. But that was... You're saving Superman. That was a whole podcast. And Andrew wakes up the next day and is totally alive.

He's annoyed that you shot him. Didn't I kill the dog instead? I hate animals. Not an animal guy. I feel like I could kill an animal so much easier than a person. Is there an animal you wouldn't kill? Hey, Eric, how does animal killing

work for the algorithm? Does it love it? Is it a big fan? Well, we're about 25 minutes in, so we're safe. It's fine. Great safe it's fine great there's a lot of animals i don't think i'd have an issue killing i don't really even kill if a bug is big enough i don't want the smush i just throw them out yeah i'm not a big fan of like goo no i'm not like the guy i don't what are we doing like there's tons of goo in it. What? In a horse. In an animal. Yeah. But a horse

is mostly goo. Well actually a horse is pretty gooey compared to other animals because you get all the glue out of them. Yeah. If you turn a horse inside out it's mostly goo. Yeah. It's not. Listen I would have gladly murdered this

thing but I'm not a goo guy. I can't deal with it. No, I'll do it. I'll do it to save a life. But I would have my eyes shut and the Revolver would be pressed against the forehead. What if it's a ghoulish death? Like, what if to kill the animal,

you just have to put a trash bag around its head? What animal are we talking about now? Horse. I'm not going to suffocate a horse. You'd rather shoot it? It would take forever. It would take way longer than 80 seconds for a start. And it would be kicking me all around.

Yeah, so it's more of a logistics thing with you. It's going to be quick and painless for the animal if I'm doing it. What if you could give the horse a sleeping pill and then it never woke up? It just went to sleep. Okay, there you go. So like lethal injection you could do. Is there an animal you wouldn't lethally inject? Well, all animals.

What do you mean? What's the point? I'm only killing this horse. I'd like to point out that we're talking about this because you want to kill a horse. Yeah, but it was a significant horse. I'd like to point out that we're talking about this because you want to kill a horse. Yeah, but it was a significant horse. I thought that sentence was going to keep going, but it just ended there.

Are you big Superman guy? How did you even get here? It's just... What made you think of this? It was just sad, wasn't it? Yeah, it was. I just think it's sad that like, you know, there was a day where that horse was born

and it had a lot of hopes and dreams and its parents thought it could someday be a success. It has a limit. It could be horse president someday, maybe. You're framing it like it's Mr. Manhattan and like it's... And in six years, this horse. I don't know.

I just think it's scary when something appears in the world that will kill you. I think it's a scary concept. I understand that. Do you think the thing that will kill you it's i think it's a scary concept i understand that do you think the thing that will ultimately kill you exists in the world today like for me like cholesterol yeah like which clump of cholesterol from like a steak will do yeah or like a loud noise on a bad day when you're very old if if i could take care of the item that would do you in for a thousand dollars,

wouldn't you want me to do it? If I could go back off, wait, why would I go back? If I could go forwards in time now, I'm getting all time, time confused. If,

if I could go forwards in time right now and take it out, wouldn't you want me to do that for a grand? Yeah. I'd rather you go backwards in time and eliminate it even earlier. It might not be here yet. Yeah, it's true. What about this?

I pay you the money and it turns out that you're the thing that kills me. What do you do? Oh, no. You go to the future and you seek yourself. It's like a looper situation. Yeah, like looper situation.

Yeah, like looper. You see it's you. What do you do? And I'm there now looking at me. Yes. But the old me knows because he's already had the idea to kill you. So the old me knows looking at young me that that young me is there to kill him so i'd probably be in a pretty instant fight with this guy yeah because you've been harboring rage against

me because i refuse to go back and save christopher reeve and it's been boiling for years and you finally go to stop and it's you i think it'd be so easy to do andrew though i would just have to go into the past or the future and just throw away a sushi container. No. It would be like Charlie in season 3 of Lost. You would get rid of the sushi container then the wastebasket would go for me. You'd just be

constantly having to save me. Not Penny's boat. What if you could save Andrew's life but the only way to do it is to eliminate all sushi from the planet Earth, and people know you did. So they remember sushi? Everybody remembers.

Uchiko has a fucking sign up in front of it that says, thanks, Gav, now we're all out of work like rooster teeth. And I would save Andrew's life? Yeah, you 100% save his life, but you just destroy, you just ruin, eliminate all sushi everywhere from here on out.

Of course I would do that. No brainer. And if anyone had a problem with it, I'd be like, I saved someone's life, you idiot. What about all the people that inadvertently starve now? Um, I mean, can people still catch their own fish and just eat the fish? Yeah, they just have to prepare it differently, so nobody's gonna starve. You're right there. Oh, there you go. Fine. Job done.

It's kind of like at the end of that video game, Life is Strange. You can save your best friend's life by letting everybody in the town die, or you can let your best friend die and save everybody in the town. So that was a dead-ass town when I played it. I only got halfway through that game. Is that the end? That is the end.

Wow, that takes a turn. Yeah. It's pretty serious. I'm imagining how to save a life by the fray. And it's just the how to save a life. And then it's just Gavin shooting a horse in the face. Dr. Cox comes in to try and resuscitate. Can't get it done. It's funny you bring up superman because i have a

superman kind of thing in my notes i uh i watched unbreakable for the first time recently and i watched brawl and cell block 99 recently and both of those movies are largely uh the catalyst of them are guys that don't have the ability to feel pain, like feel any, any pain at all. And it made me think about when I got one of my root canals, I got so numbed. I couldn't feel the left side of my face around my mouth.

Um, so I was curious if you guys had the ability to remove the ability to feel any pain. So like you wouldn't know physical pain, you still have feelings but you would feel you were incapable of feeling pain but at the cost of not being able to feel anything physically would you do it uh carlisle in uh that bond movie sure i feel kind of like that's what alcohol was for me for a great many years i i mean sure i could absolutely see the connection to for me it was an issue it was a nightmare when half my mouth was frozen because i couldn't feel anything and i was drinking out of a can and i was convinced i was constantly not pouring in my mouth because I couldn't, I had zero sensation of anything.

Yeah. You need to feel, and you need to feel pain. It lets you know when you're dying. Yeah. Like if your heart, if you started having like major heart palpitations, there's nothing going to be stopping you from going, oh, I'm going to go for a run. If you didn't feel pain, you just shred your own body without realizing it you know you would constantly look down

at the trail of blood where you've been and be like oh god did you guys watch fallout the tv show yes all the way through it did you get to the part with johnny pemberton where his like foot is hanging on out of his sock and it looks like impossible

he would be like that all the time he'd be be like, oh shit, my foot's hanging off. I gotta get that fixed. Because you just would never know. You'd never feel it. That doesn't seem like a bad thing. Well, I guess it's the problem would be is if you did it because of the lack of feeling. You'd be walking on stubs pretty soon.

It'd slow you down. How would you know whether your bath was too hot? Yeah, you could win you Houston. Oh, well, Gavin just sold it for me. Like, I need to enjoy that water. I need to enjoy that bath. That would ruin it. Yeah, you would just be sat in,

you would just be floating in what felt like nothing. Yeah, that'd be terrible. How much money, if I came to you and said, I'm going to give you X amount of money, but you can never take a bath, it's just showers for the rest of your life. What would that figure be for you, Andrew? It's always less than you think it is.

$5,000, you never take a bath again for the rest of your life. Five horses. What about, how do we define a bath? How do we define a bath? Could I, like, is a giant hot tub a bath? Is there soap involved? I feel like there's soap in hot tubs. No.

What? There's not. I guarantee there's not. What's all the foam? Where does all the foam come from? If you're, if you're having a bath together. What?

Well, it's all bubbly and foamy and, I think it's like skin and sunscreen. Yeah, it's much grosser. Who wears sunscreen at a pool? Like an indoor pool? Nobody's sunscreening at the indoor pool.

What about the outdoor pools and outdoor hot tubs? Yeah, what are we doing? Because the pool I go to is indoors, so I'm picturing my scenario. And that's foamy? This is a Canada thing. Yeah, I feel like it's foamy. It's probably just bubbles then.

It's probably just oxygen. Nobody is putting soap in the hot tub anyway. Well, they put like bleach and like cleaning product in it, I assume, and all that stuff. That's not for cleaning you. I'm just saying at the point in which they're pouring that in, I don't feel like it's out of the question to assume that maybe there's some soap or something in there. I don't know. If you are in a hot tub and you've got a bottle of shampoo with you that's a bath okay so it would not count what if i what if i like clog the drain

and i'm in a shower and it fills you have to get out once it gets over your ankles well oh yeah well you can just keep moving up. But if you'll submerge, that's the bath bit. Yeah. Hmm. $5,000. Five horses. One of those horses could turn out to be a winner.

You don't know. If it's the day that I get paralyzed by a horse and I take that money, jokes on you. My reign of bathing or bathing bathing jesus yeah i don't it's i don't it would be a lot it would be more than 5 000 speaking of showers and and baths i've been wanting to try some things that i've seen people do in movies a lot but i've never like there's a lot of things that are like tropes in films but i've never done it in real life like i've never held a door shut with a chair but i feel like it's very common and i've never lent against a wall in the shower like during a moment of self-reflectiveness or

peril i feel like it's such like a movie thing have you you ever done that? Yes. Oh, absolutely. You've lent? Yeah. Yeah, totally. I've lent, I've sat, I've laid. Yeah. You've laid on the ground? I've laid on the ground, yeah.

Interesting. Sit down in the shower, feel like you're in a rainstorm? I feel like I've done the chair thing, too. What did it feel like to lean against the wall in the shower?

What made you do it? Life problems. Getting soap in my eyes and being unconfident about my ability to not fall and take out Geoff's bathroom like that saxophone player. I was immediately thinking of like, James Bond doing it after like a heavy fight. And you're doing it because you've got soap in your eyes. Yeah, your eyes got all sudsy. You know, if you're in a bath-shower thing and the floor gets slippery, I can't use conditioner anymore in my setup because it makes the bottom of the bath too slippery

and I start sliding around and I just can't risk it. So do you shower in the tub? Yeah, because the shower is connected to a tub. Got it. You're not just applying conditioner while you're sat in the tub yeah because the shower is connected to a tub got it you're not just like applying conditioner while you're sat in the tub though no no no like if i stand i put the conditioner in my hair it washes off onto the floor and it becomes like a an ice skating rink the bottom of my tub it slicks and then i slide around and it's a very narrow tub. It's a tall but narrow tub and so I just, I had to give up conditioner. Sounds like I'm gonna

have to pay a grand to shoot a little bottle of conditioner. Is that maybe why Canadians are so good at ice skating? Oh. Oh man it could be. Can't rule it out. Are we good at, I guess we are, it's cause of hockey right? Like I bet you Canada has as a population.

I would assume, I would think it's probably because of the weather ice and hockey. Yeah. I'm thinking like Russia would probably be up there. Yeah. Not so much America, maybe Sweden, Norway,

Finland, not, not as much in Texas, but yeah. They're definitely not as much in Texas. I don't think I can name a professional hockey player from Texas. And I'm sure there is one that I just am not aware they're from Texas, but there's not one that jumps in my mind.

I'm not sure I can name a professional hockey player. Wayne Gretzky. Connor Bedard. There you go. I got one. Connor. Hey, can I tell you guys a story about something that happened to me recently? Is it a house story?

No, I have a bunch of house stories to tell you in the near future, but not today. I was stressed out about stuff, though, when I did this. The other day, I was driving around, and as you may or may not know, there's been a lot going on in our lives the last

couple months, what with them being completely and totally upended in every way, career-wise. And then I've been busy in my personal life, too, because of the domino effects of all these things. And so I was driving around from place to place running errands the other day, and I was in Emily's car because I had to pick something up or drop something off, and she's got a bigger car than I do. car because I had to pick something up or drop something off and she's got a bigger car than I do. I was one of those days where I was just completely and totally lost in my... You know those days when you're just like

you're concentrating and thinking so hard about stuff that everything else you're doing is kind of on autopilot. You know what I mean? You're using like 5% of your brain to operate the human and the rest of it is just completely and totally trying to figure out finances or life moves or whatever it is. And I realized I had to get gas. And so I stopped at a gas station and I went out and I put the thing in and I started filling up gas and

I was standing there. And then I was like, oh, you know, it'd be nice if I got an energy drink because I'm fucking exhausted. And Emily would probably like one too so I went inside and uh I bought two monster energy drinks the ones that Eric likes to make fun of me for drinking and uh bought those and went out and got in the car and drove away as normal. And about three miles down the road, I thought to myself, something's not sitting right with me over the last few minutes.

What is off? And I thought, you should pull over and figure this out. So I pulled over and I sat for about five seconds. And then I realized, oh, I never stopped getting gas. I just drove away. Oh my God god i get out of the car i get out of the car and sure enough my gas cap is off and the thing the little things open i'm like holy fuck have i just what do i do my dad did this once i remember it was a whole thing and i'm like oh my god i didn't know what to do and i thought well you're like three miles away from the place you You just keep driving. And I thought, no, no, no, no, no. I got to go

back. I got to go back. And I went back and all I'll say is I drove back by the gas station and there was somebody else getting gas at that pump. And I thought, okay. And so I just went home. I guess I didn't do any damage. Nothing popped off or broke. And I guess I'd already paid because I put my credit card in and everything. I just didn't get the receipt. But yeah, I think I drove off and I guess the gas nozzle must have just flown out when I drove away.

So wait, though. Where'd you put the cap when you're filling up? It's connected on a yeah it hangs off it's connected by like a little plastic rope or whatever holy god shit you're so lucky you weren't trailing the whole pump hose my dad did he did it one time and the pump got stuck in and he trailed the hose yeah maybe they've designed them in a way to prevent it now yeah they pop off easily and even then it didn't happen, apparently, because it was like somebody else was getting gas there. So I didn't do any damage.

But holy shit, dude. I can't fucking believe that I am that person. I have to go through the rest of my life knowing that I did that. And I'm kind of horrified. I didn't think that happened to people that i know yeah it shouldn't it really shouldn't and i'm embarrassed to say that it did when you said the pump went with you or went with your dad i imagined like the vault in fast and furious 5 they're pulling around but like he's dragging the entire gas pump and it's like still going up the

amount that he's using as he's driving away, the thing pulling behind him. If it was Fast and Furious Universe, though, it would be exploding constantly on everything that it hits. It'd be like blowing up everything. Oh, this is a Trails HD minigame now. Driving away with explosions in my rear mirrors, I guess. What the fuck's going on?

You didn't hear like a big clunk? No, I didn't hear like a big clunk no i didn't hear anything and no damage was done to the car or the pump apparently and i told emily and she's like you just don't remember closing it and putting it away and i was like but i know i didn't i know i just got in the car and drove away i know i did oh you should try to get security it's crazy yeah yeah i just i would be so stressed if I were you driving back. So embarrassed. I was, yeah, I was ready to go back and be like,

I'm here, I assume I pay a fine or something, but yeah, that was... Oh. In my head, I've created a Zoolander, is what is happening the entire drive back. Oh, you think the place is on fire? Yeah. I think that I've covered the entire place think the place is on is on fire yeah i i think

that i've covered the entire place with gasoline and it is on fire i'd be so stressed heading back to that gas station that's crazy definitely uh i don't get embarrassed very often um which is crazy thanks i agree uh like if anybody should be embarrassed on a daily basis uh it would be me but uh i mean just physically alone right but i uh yeah i'm pretty embarrassed about that one i can't believe i was horrified with myself just horrified that's definitely a badge for life yeah oh man and i think it's just a symptom of how incredibly intense and stressful the last few months have been, I guess.

Maybe I should start instead of laughing at all the videos I see of people doing that. Maybe I should just think, Oh, I bet they had a lot going on. Yeah. I bet. I bet they did.

I bet they did. Speaking of travel, I want to talk about something exciting that happened recording this on thursday before uh our our patreon has started we haven't even shared our new logo yet but we have debuted it because i've been been doing some some sloppy joe streaming i've been streaming the feed and uh we had two amazing members of our community the twins we love dearly has been so much uh went down to sloppy joe's and unveiled our logo and people don't even know it's an official reveal yet i'm so excited to be able to share this on social media of them. It was so funny seeing them like covertly walk into the frame of,

uh, the camera and then just reveal the signs of people in the chat, freaking out. Some Twitch clips of it that are so good. God bless. Oh, that's great. They are.

It was so, they are, they are just the most wonderful people. They are so unbelievably wonderful and supportive and uh i would i was it was a ridiculous idea i had and then learning that they were in florida they were so game to do it i'm so happy that they're able to pull it off and it was just awesome that's one step above comment lever i think is logo revealer logo revealer yeah not a lot of people that can do that you You don't get to do it very often.

It's a very coveted position. They're the only two I know. We should make a shirt and sell two of them. Just give it to them. They're the only ones that have it. Yeah. I mean, we don't even get

to wear it. Should we also mention that the regulation podcast, like who created the logo for us? I think there's some wonderful lineage there as well yeah do you want to do you want to expand on that yeah sure michelle uh from roosterteeth who designed the original fuckface logo uh we hired her uh post roosterteeth to design the regulation logo and i think she did a phenomenal job so good i love our

logo yeah and we have multiple variations of it it's it's awesome yeah it rules um so can i ask some some questions about like the rules of how everything works in this new podcast oh yeah yeah please do sure do we still bleep fuckface no no i don't think well i don't think we can because i mean you know we're going back and forth and figuring stuff out we don't own it so i don't know that the bleep you know what i mean we don't own even the bleep i don't think we do i think we own the i think we can bleep and we can say face but i don't know that we can bleep and then say face back to back quickly but fuck face you can say that all day long yeah so but what if what if i personally bleep it? Like with a...

I mean, that's you. You're taking on your own express liability. Yeah. So I'm now like, lawyer, help me out. I mean, this doesn't... I mean, are you bleeping it in your home or are you bleeping it publicly in some sort of mass way? Because you can

bleep whatever you want and you're in the sanctity of your own home. What do you mean bleeping it publicly? Like, are you bleeping it in a video that people are going to see or hear? Or are you just doing it for yourself in your own home? I have no idea. I don't understand the question. You mean, am I recording the bleep? Are you distributing the bleep?

What does that mean? Where's the bleep coming from it's just coming from my my mixer bleep sure does anybody else hear it or just you well i assume it's on my wave file we'll find out maybe not well i just did it that one time to ask the question i haven't been bleeping the whole time i see you can hear it i didn't no it. You can hear it? I didn't. No. You heard that? Nope. No. No.

Oh, okay. Nobody heard it, that's why nobody knows what you're fucking talking about. Well, I'm not actually doing it for you. So you're just doing it for me. I just did it to ask the question. I have another question about the old thing. Okay. Andrew, do you think the name Pissboy and like, Eatin' the Pencil will follow you over to this podcast? I don't think

that's for me to decide i don't think i get a vote in that considering i didn't get a vote in that on the last run so i know i don't assume i get to make that choice i have a feeling it was for gavin to decide and he just did i think i will say that somebody played audio of them peeing for like two minutes on this show. 55 seconds. What a great point. Wow. Well, I mean, we already knew that Jeff has been recording pisses. We found out on Does It Do? Yeah.

But does that make it worse, Andrew, that you're still associated with Piss Boy and you've never done any piss bits? You've just been a piss watcher. Where's your piss bits? Yeah, I don't. I would argue I've done the never done any piss bits. You've just been a piss watcher. Where's your piss bits? Yeah, I don't, I would argue I've done the least amount of piss bits in this show. I don't think I've done a piss bit. You're fucking, you peed all over Edgar Wright.

That wasn't me. Yeah, that also is not the show, just to be clear. I mean, it's, yeah. Are you looking to, are you looking for a clean piss slate? Is that where you're at? Is that what you're trying to get out of this? Andrew, I would love one. But once again, this has never been my choice.

So I'm not. We could clean the piss off your slate. But this is the one time to do it. The phrasing of that. That seems not great. Like what if you're no longer piss boy as of today? Wow. Today, as of right now.

Yeah, potentially. I mean, I'll take it, but once again... Look out your window right now. Do you see the woman pissing on the side of a building? I don't know. I think you might be in a clear...

You know, in fact, I haven't seen one since. That was a one-time event. I have one final question. Okay. Are you in the Herman Miller chair? No, I'm not. I was going to end it. I was going to sit down. I'm still in question. Okay. Are you in the Herman Miller chair? No, I'm not. I was going to end it.

I was going to sit down. I'm still in the shit chair. Oh, you're going to transition live? I was going to transition live to it. Amazing. Yeah. I can't believe you've got a Herman Miller chair and you have been ignoring it for how long now?

Months. I mean, there's so many things. What I've learned is i cannot wait for bits because i have been planning since we knew since we knew that we were going to have to do a new thing um i've had a bit in mind for this episode since 196 and part of that bit involved Gracie who now has a real job and is not here so I never got to do it but I assume that Gracie had no awareness of the beginning and some of the events of our podcast with like the double salted licorice and the soda chug and all these things and the 100% chocolate, I was going to do them all at once,

just like back to back to back, Tiger Balm on the balls, and I don't have a reason to do that. Well, maybe if we do well on Patreon, we can give an appearance fee for Gracie to pull back. I love it. That's good. Do you think she would have time? Just so you guys know, just for full transparency, I love it. That's good. Do you think she would have time? I've,

so just so you guys know, just for full transparency, I am currently working with her on some of this stuff to make time for us and others. We are. It's hard because she's working a real job for a real production company with real fucking hours. Like it is not. With real expectations. Hey, would you pay $1,000

to shoot a horse? It's like, oh, we're making television programs. I did invite them to our stream, but they're unfortunately not available. But I'm sure we'll collaborate. Maybe I'll scare her off with my anus and vagina. No, I don't think so. I don't think so, but't i don't think so but

also i can't imagine that it helped yeah it just did us no favors it certainly didn't help yeah it did not do any favors i don't want to get in i don't want to get in too much trouble here i'm the secretary as people should know by this point by now yeah do already know? I think that'll be the first piece of content we put on our Patreon. I think it should be. It's not now. Oh, that's great. But Eric is our president.

Hey, Eric, I might need a presidential pardon. Uh-oh. That's a shit. Episode one? Now, here's what I'll say, is I don't know how many of these I'm willing to give out in a year, because I think you are going to run roughshod so you really get one per year oh i think it's definitely one per year definitely uh and we're halfway through so i mean really

you're getting you know you got plenty of time but it go for it andrew um i had a realization that well okay so when we when we learned about all this stuff, we're going to potentially have to make a new YouTube channel and all that. I claimed a bunch of that stuff a long time ago, months ago. And as we've been teasing things, our wonderful listeners have been like oh I found this I found that type thing and sharing it and this is one of the primary ones that we've shared when we posted

it's a thread about it recently and it's really funny it's a great it's a great account so there's as you can see this is the post it's called great account so there's uh as you can see this is the post uh it's called regulation pod on youtube currently it's 3.65 subscribers or a thousand subscribers yeah which is pretty good

considering we haven't promoted this in any way uh and i looked at that and ratty boy is the image of it yeah and i went oh that's funny that's a funny thing i did i don't remember doing that uh i don't remember doing that because that's not the YouTube I made. I don't think that's any of our YouTube. I think that's a fan account. Yeah. The YouTube that I made for us has three subscribers currently. And I can't even find it when I mainly search because I was trying to take a screenshot.

What did you pick? What are you talking i went i made the regulation podcast youtube okay because it was before we even locked stuff in that currently has three subscribers well let me check maybe someone got added so i i think i may have at one point been like, ah, yeah, you found it. Or like acknowledged this in some capacity. I think you're acknowledging someone else's account. And last night I had a panic of maybe I made because I did make multiple YouTubes. I did not make that one.

And if none of you guys made that, I think I might request a presidential pardon on this issue. I definitely didn't make that. I don't think I made that either. What is the pardon you're asking for, though? I don't understand. I feel like I endorsed. Yeah, I feel like I endorsed a fan account thinking it was my. No, no, that's absolutely on you.

There's no. No, it is on me. Yes. So is the crime that people typically get pardoned for no no i'm asking for an exception here no wow i mean like first pardon denied here's okay here's why here's i would have given it to you too that's cool not president so here's why I have a real issue with the way that we have no consistent branding over any of our names. We have picked and chosen the regulation pod, the regulation podcast, regulation pod, regulation podcast. We're all over the place with this stuff.

And I put that squarely andrew at your feet so so what are we no pardon yeah go ahead andrew what are we uh well we're the regulation podcast because that's what you want that that was that was your big i assume but it's no that's no the i'm sorry there's no the we're regulation podcast yeah we're regulation podcast that's what i said we're regulation what is happening this is going back to an argument we had when i said when i intro the first episode do i say welcome to a regulation podcast welcome to regulation podcast or welcome to the regulation i always thought eric said and i do remember eric saying what are you talking

about you just say welcome to the regulation podcast and I yeah and you don't need but we don't need and the other part of what I said is that you don't need the in the name because it's just it's it's like it's not called the fuck face it was called it should have been everywhere but see here's the thing in my hindsight and I and I didn't want to die all right all right hang on let us into your head go ahead ma'am yeah that's well why did you interrupt me and when i was like i want i'm preparing myself i'm wiping my feet at the door i'm ready to walk right in go regulation podcast we're one of many to me the represented that we were the regulation podcast there was a different meaning it hit differently so i i agree you're right i didn't think that we were the fuckface podcast because that doesn't have the same meaning as regulation that's like a standard it's they're different things i do feel

like we're kind of planting a flag in the sand here uh with the with the word regulation like we're basically creating, because we can be Regulation Podcast, which is the Regulation Podcast because it is a Regulation Podcast all at the same time. We're becoming, like, the dictionary definition of what a Regulation Podcast is.

But we are also the Regulation Podcast called Regulation Podcast. Sounds like we really fuck-faced ourselves. Yes, that is exactly, that's exactly here's the real answers this is the real explanation for why there's inconsistency in that uh some platforms yeah some platforms have different maximum character counts and that was before we locked in that the podcast would be called regulation podcast because i wanted to get on top i'm sorry that i cared to lock these up as quickly as apology not accepted but okay yeah that's fair you're the president listen i'm the secretary i respect it i respect

whatever rule you make but i feel like i tried to get ahead of the game in favor of all of us and then when i was making all these accounts I was trying to do it consistently but some of them had shorter maximum character counts which is what created the inconsistency and that account so what we call you now when we shoot ourselves in the foot due to stupidity I think still fuck-facing yourself okay we. We didn't regulate ourselves. No. No. Okay, good.

You could Greg yourself, maybe. Oh, you can Greg. You can... Salad cream still. Yeah, salad cream. You can salad cream. You can Brimley. Oh, Brimley. I forgot about Brimley.

I feel like I'm getting a lot of heat from the 100% heat guy as well, which is just like, do you put 100% in? Do you put the symbol in? How does the searchability? I feel like that's also a nightmare. 1-0-0-P-E-R-C-E-N-T-E-A-T

But the logo doesn't reflect that. Yeah. That's a good point. The visuals of it. So what are we again? And hang on I don't know. And when you find our channels that's where they are. The visuals of it. So what are we again? And when you, and hang on. I don't know. When you find our channels, and when you find our channels, that's where they are.

They're in the same place. So what I'm saying is that when we say, hey, you want to find us here or find us there, Andrew, where can you find us on Twitter? On Twitter, we're RegulationPod on Twitter. Okay, and where can you find us on Instagram? The RegulationPod. This sucks.

Right, exactly. Well, I'm sorry I did all the work. I apologize. Next time I'll let you guys do the work. Apology not accepted. It's fine. Can I just jump in and say, Andrew, I'm just a bog standard employee of the company.

I'm a 20% co-owner. I don't have a title. I didn't win or lose a Smash Brothers campaign. I just landed right in the middle until the next election. That's where I'm going to be. So my voice is as close to meaningless within the company as you can get.

But I'd just like to say that I appreciate what you're saying and without an official title or responsibility I know it doesn't carry much weight but I thank you for your efforts and I appreciate your initiatives and I think what you've done is charming

I know I would not describe it as charming I would describe it as messy but I did the best I could take the fucking compliment I said charming don't refute my compliment now i don't know why you're trying to help him jeff i just don't know why i'm trying to fucking i'm saying i think that eric is forgetting there's four-year terms to this whole presidential thing you might be a little drunk with power we'll see what happens well Well, that's definitely true. Yeah. Oh, that's a good point because if Eric rejects all your pardons,

it's going to definitely affect the next presidential term on Eric. The next presidential term is another Smash Brothers tournament? Now, a different tournament maybe, but yeah. Maybe we'll go Brawlhalla next time. Do a... In four years.

Did we determine, are our elections every four years like the US presidential election? Is that what we've landed on? I think so. Or is that just an assumption? Okay.

It'll be fucking wild to still be doing a podcast with you guys in four years. I hope we remember to reelect. Did we even have fuckface for four years? No, I don't think so.

No, so I just did... I just did a... I have a meta sheet to keep organized for myself and Nick. And I just laid out dates and everything. And I just dragged down from today until I felt like it was pretty long. Landed on 235 episodes. And that will be November 8th, 2028. Good Lord. Yeah. Wow. Yeah.

Wow. Yeah. Feel pretty good about that. What is it now? 2024? That could be your president, folks. That guy would give me a pardon. Should we time travel to 2028 right now?

No. No. No, no, we could do it. Is there a horse you want to kill? we can check this out you want to kill no check this out one two no you idiot you idiot in four years i'll say three and then we'll be that'll be it and you can cut those together but not that now i was i was throwing the ball do it do throw the ball clean and have everybody shut up. Well, I mean, we'll just mute you.

All right, all right. What? One. Forget it. I lost my enthusiasm. Hey, here's the thing, Andrew. Just because I'm not pardoning you doesn't mean I don't appreciate what you do for the show. I think you've done a great job.

We just have to figure out the things specifically that we are saying to people so that way they know oh no i where to find us totally absolutely so thank you very much and thank you very much to jeff gavin and nick also because this whole process has been incredibly difficult uh we've done a really great job of i mean working together not killing each other and uh being pretty excited to do this for a while and thank you to the fans uh regulation listeners and comment leavers alike for following us as we go forward because i'm very very i've been so stressed out uh yeah i'm greater now than ever but like i've i'm so excited i'm so so excited it's the longest week yeah it has not been harder than i expected it to be but it has

been harder than i think anything should be unfortunately yeah and and that's not the fault of any one individual or entity or anything like that it's just like this stuff is just fucking hard it's just hard to get shit done in 2024 unfortunately but i'm so i cannot tell you how good it feels to be at the end uh what i assume is the end of the first episode and knowing that we we can now breathe a little fucking sigh of relief in a few minutes when we stop recording because we've we actually got here congratulations guys i can't fucking the last two months has been very difficult and uh i really appreciate all of, all of your hard work getting us across the finish line and to the new start line.

So we can do this all over again. I'm so excited. I feel like I have just so much energy for this. I can't wait to expend it. Hell yeah. I can't wait to watch you expend it. Well, I hope you expend it all over everything.

I want to see you expend so fucking hard over the next four years that Andrew's going to slip and slide in it like it's his bathtub. Devin, have you ever spent $1,000 to expend it before? Can I make a small request before we end? Sure, of course. If I die between now and four years from now, can someone else say three and just finish off the time travel bit?

Yeah, whichever one of us is still alive in four years can do it. Appreciate it. So here's what we need to do because we can't just say, okay, we're gone, but hey, go to patreon.com slash regulation pod. Sign up for our Patreon.

Support us directly because we are truly, fully independent. It has been a weird couple months, but we we are truly fully independent. We, it has been a weird couple months, but we are truly fully independent. There is no one backing this. It is just us. No, there is someone backing it.

It's you. It's you. The listener, 100%. We are in your hands. Please. Please. I'm sorry.

I apologize. I thought you were going to continue. So go to a Patreon, subscribe there. You can get some, we have some exclusive supplemental stuff. We have a lot going on and more to add. So we're really excited to get going over there.

Scroll down in the description here and we'll list all of our social media channels that I'm sure, uh, we figured out at this point. Yeah. At whatever they are. Yeah, I feel like the Patreon stuff will be evolving as we work through

the remaining stuff, but it's definitely the place to support us now if you would like. Yes. Absolutely. And here's the thing. If you don't want to

support us financially through Patreon or whatever. That's totally fine. Listen to the show. You listening to the show is a great way to support us. You know what helps us even more is if you download the episode instead of streaming the episode. Found that out.

Is that true? Yes. Another great free way to support us, if money's not your thing, which I get, is to tell people seriously totally tell people about us we changed the name it's so much easier to explain to people now hopefully that that won't be a hurdle for you and then also i don't know if i said it earlier but please no please the entirety of fuckface i feel like we grew because of word of mouth from other people like we have so much of our growth to that um so it would really mean a lot to us if you you share this or even just let people

know because we're in a different spot right now we're having to at the time rebuild all these feeds so it would be great and let's link to our our patreon and not like a fan made oh i don't don't worry Don't worry. That's fine. That's that's where we're good. I got you. I got good news.

We got four subscribers. Somebody subscribed. I got you last night. Cool. We're set. So I guess we'll be back with another regulation podcast this

time next week and then the next week and the next week and the next week until Gavin says three at least. And we probably got some videos coming out on YouTube or on the Patreon. I'm sure Andrew's communicating that through social media or we all are. So look out for that on those official feeds.

And you can watch how Eric became president and how Andrew became the secretary. Riveting. They nearly already have. how andrew became the secretary really already have it's an entire political season uh distilled into 145 minute video it's pretty it's pretty intense i love that we work at a company that legitimately decided who was president because of super smash brothers simulations yeah not even a bit like that actually became that was legally binding to the company. Yes. Can I modify that? Maybe change the way, reframe the way you said that you don't work at a company.

You own that company. That's true. Hell yeah. Pretty cool. We all do, which is wonderful. It's crazy. I'm so excited for the next episode.

We'll be the next episode. This will be the first one that we've done since the Patreon has launched. We are still, before launch, with this recording, it'll be interesting to be in a whole new world. We have no idea how well or poorly that went. Maybe for the next fighting game simulation

we can decide who does whose performance review. That's a good idea interesting interesting oh okay next time thanks for listening go subscribe to the patreon see you next week later

bye love you bye love you
