Starting point is 00:00:00 can i ask you a question andrew i keep seeing this pop up uh and i figure i mean it doesn't have to be on the show because it doesn't really matter or whatever sure how do you read this i don't understand uh i don't understand regular... Regular clean, plus clean, super clean. No, no, no. Shut up. Shut up. The price is $179.9? What is...
Starting point is 00:00:32 Okay. Oh, what is that? $179.9? I don't understand. What does that mean? $179 what? I have no idea. $179. $179.9. $ 179 179.9 199.9 209 what is that how is two hours yeah 112 what currency is that in that's what i'm asking how is it 209 what 209 what canadian dollars for one gallon of gas? Is it that expensive?
Starting point is 00:01:06 Oh. Do you not? What? I've never thought about this. What do you mean? What do you mean? I don't drive. I don't have a car. Well, I own a car, but I don't drive it.
Starting point is 00:01:19 But like, look. Okay, here, here, here, here. I think cents. I think it's in cents. Oh. Because look, as an example, I put here, here. I think cents. I think it's in cents. Oh. Because look, as an example, I put the American. Here's just an example of American. That you would easily read as $4.84.
Starting point is 00:01:34 So $1.799 would be $1.79.9 if it was cents. It says cents per liter. Oh. What? What? That makes sense. What the fuck? That's crazy. A says cents per liter. Oh. Oh. What? What? That makes sense. What the fuck? That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:01:47 A few hundred pennies. Yeah. I never thought about what the currency is. You're right. That is odd. It's 100. Okay. So I'm going to go and say my gas is 199 pennies.
Starting point is 00:02:01 Per liter. Well, if you're bragging about affording 89. Okay. Well well do you want to we got rid of the penny years ago so it's even it's kind of crazy that we're still using that for gas hello and welcome to another episode of the face podcast now what you said a prepubescent you sounded like previous boy there oh i'm still recovering from my uh like cold i had a week ago oh you you got sick too? Remember, we were talking about it earlier.
Starting point is 00:02:27 Yeah, I was sick for one day, but I have not had a cough for like three weeks. Sweet. Andrew complaining about how someone sounds? No, no, I wasn't complaining. I was making fun of two different things. This is episode 204. My name is Jeff Ramsey. I'm the offended.
Starting point is 00:02:47 With me, as always, Gavin Free and the offender, Andrew Patton, who's making fun of me. I was. Just in that moment. It's factually correct. I'm not going to run from it. How do you still sound like this? Well, this is what happens. It's been like a week.
Starting point is 00:03:01 So I was starting to get better. And then, not to be too vulgar, I keep, when I'm on the edge of getting better, accidentally triggering my gag reflex and then coughing up, like, a bunch of acid. And it hurts the throat, so then I reset. This happened twice now. How strong is your acid? Oh, listen, I'm an acid-y boy.
Starting point is 00:03:22 Okay, I got it. You ever seen Aliens? I'm not there but uh i'm close do you think if you if you chunned it a little bit if you boked on your floor do you think it would go to the floor below i don't know i'm not there yet i'm like if i did like one of those 23 and me or whatever dna thing i'm probably like three percent xenomorph i'm not enough where it's like the floor is melting, but... Well, they'd never be able to tell because it would melt through the file.
Starting point is 00:03:50 H.R. Deager has never drawn a picture of you. No. You're not that alien yet. Yeah, okay. Yeah. I was maybe, though, on the street when he had the inspiration for it. I was part of... Not me specifically, but shades of me. I bet you wouldn't eat Not me specifically, but shades of me.
Starting point is 00:04:05 I bet you wouldn't eat through the floor, but I bet it might take a little varnish off a wooden floor, maybe. Probably, yeah. I think that's a good call. Gus used to melt through his laptops. Dude, Gus has the most acidic skin on Earth. It's so fucking weird. He would rub
Starting point is 00:04:21 the metal off of his laptops. Look at any MacBook that dude's ever owned. That sounds dangerous. Yeah, eventually. That's why he has to get new laptops. I don't think he could professionally arm wrestle, even if he wanted to. That'd just take a toll. You think he'd be disqualified?
Starting point is 00:04:38 I think so. I think it'd be illegal. His acidic levels slowly melt through the skin. I got a clip. Oh, what? Oh. Gavin coming in hot. Coming in hot with a clip
Starting point is 00:04:51 just because, you know, it's been a part of the plot for a while. Uh-oh. A recording. A plot for a while. From the Rooster Teeth podcast. Oh.
Starting point is 00:05:03 Episode 39. Here we go. But it's a two and a half hour long movie. You just described every roll number from the movie. Yeah, yeah, pretty much. I mean, like, you know the animators had a field day with that. Like, okay, we needed to blow up Las Vegas by, you know, an earthquake and sandstorm. Okay, spoiler alert.
Starting point is 00:05:22 It's in the trailer. Come on now. Oh, no, I'm ruined. It's like we, like, it's, that whole movie is, thank God we weren't standing where we were 10 seconds ago. Like, that's the whole movie. Completely different joke. That's a different joke?
Starting point is 00:05:37 Totally different. Oh, my God. How's that a different joke? Let me, well, let me post your joke. Okay. Listen, I'm not necessarily a fan of jumping in front of this bullet of Jack. He's the offender and Jack's defendant. It's a different type of answer.
Starting point is 00:05:54 Andrew Patton is the official offender defendant. Oh, no, that's the wrong. Sorry, wrong. That's Alan Wake 2. It's wrong one. That's Alan Wake 2. It's the guy's dick in Alan Wake 2. Why'd you hit the wrong button? That's the exact same fucking joke. Yeah, it was.
Starting point is 00:06:15 Never mind. I was wrong. I was wrong about that. The tweet is... Well, Gavin, you can say it. It's your fucking words. The tweet was, 2012 should have been cool. I'm glad I'm not 10 feet behind
Starting point is 00:06:27 where I am right now. The funny thing is, though, there's also a clip from the Rooster Teeth podcast episode 63. Really? About six months later. Check this out. Someone wrote that that movie
Starting point is 00:06:43 is like, you know, thank God I wasn't standing there 10 seconds ago the movie because like everything like it's blown up or destroyed right behind them as they're like driving oh no someone wrote it became it became an original comment and then became someone wrote i've also learned that jeff really likes that joke he laughed both times well that makes sense it was your joke i like you you're funny i think you i mean i think you are the most entertaining person i've ever met that's why that's why i work with you so it stands to reason that jack like poorly ripping you off would still be amusing to me because it's still your comedy oh that's that's a nice level of to be clear uh gavin's tweet is the 18th of november to uh of 2009 and episode 39 of the rooster teeth podcast is december 9th
Starting point is 00:07:35 2009 i mean just mere weeks mere weeks after i mentioned it jack texts me saying i don't think i stole your 2012 joke question mark but then afterwards he wrote but that was 20 years ago so maybe i'm i'm completely off jack's defense i am stepping away from it entirely bold move by the defense to say that was a totally different joke yeah well that to be fair not a very original joke i'm sure a bunch of people watched that movie and thought the exact same thing i'm pretty sure you're the only one i'm i'm i'm on your side now definitely yours and only yours does that ever happen in court where the defense walks over to the prosecution they just sit next to each other
Starting point is 00:08:20 listen i'm a vibes guy i've just been feeling the vibes of this courtroom and and I've been swayed I've moved through information has come out I came in as a as a middle lawyer and I got to say it's on your side this is the whole point of discovery as they say so uh yes we could find out all the dirty secrets and truths and they can come to light and then we can find out the the reality of the situation which is that jack uh what year was that again 2012 2009 2009 that jack in 2009 is exactly as annoying as jack in 2024 and still a thief i like that that closes out a 15 year storyline it's not bad it's's like the old Halo overkill. How do you feel about it? How do I feel?
Starting point is 00:09:08 Yeah, because you say it like this has been on everyone's collective mind for 15 years. This is a thing that you've been holding internally for that time. Okay. I've been thinking about it for 15 years, but company like public plot wise, it's been about three weeks. Yeah. But, you know, a good one to close out before the company ends entirely. Before the company closes out.
Starting point is 00:09:30 Yeah, how does that, do you feel like the biggest sense of completion? No. Well, I mean, I think it's funny. It is funny. I wouldn't, I don't care either way, really. This is a dumb tweet. I shouldn't say that Jack's a thief. I'm just making a joke.
Starting point is 00:09:44 He kind of said he was what do you think you are the first person to ever do in your life slip on a uh i'm the first person i'm the first person on earth to sit in a swivel chair and drink a diet pepsi with a watch on my right arm in this office okay decent i guarantee you nobody else has done that in the history of this house anybody else well i have one that i have a mystery that made me think of a mystery that i'm dealing with i am the only person who has lived in the unit that I live in as the first person to move in. And I noticed yesterday on my bathroom wall, there are a bunch of scratch marks on the wall that I definitely didn't cause. Nobody I know would have been there caused. I don't know where they came from.
Starting point is 00:10:40 I assume that I was the first to do everything in the space. I don't know why there are scratch marks on my wall.'re very clearly scratch marks i think it was an animal maybe but like i don't know how how would an animal have gotten up to my unit and then scratched in this specific place well like while it was being built maybe maybe yeah i mean do you think they've always been there like they're not new right you just well's the thing. I don't know if I just never noticed or if they're newish. I don't know how they would be newish, though, if they were. So I'll, yeah, I think Gavin might be onto something. When one time during the pandemic, we stayed at a hotel downtown for like a staycation,
Starting point is 00:11:22 kind of, you know, just to sleep in a different bed and look at a different window. And it was at a place downtown that like a staycation, kind of, you know, just to like sleep in a different bed and look out a different window. And it was at a place downtown that was kind of nice. And we had like a little deck and we could sit out on the deck and right across from where our hotel was, like on the other side of the street, they were building another high rise condo kind of thing. And I want to say it was like,
Starting point is 00:11:40 it was like built about two floors below where we were. So we were like on the 11th floor. This was like maybe the ninth or the 10th floor. And at night, as soon as the sun would go down and all the workers would leave, hundreds of raccoons would come from God knows where, and they would have the biggest raccoon party on the top of this in-process constructed building.
Starting point is 00:12:03 And we spent a weekend just sitting on the deck, just laughing and watching raccoons play raccoon games and rip shit up and go through the foot trash and eat, you know, like old fried chicken that somebody had thrown in a trash bag and just like and just wreak havoc. And then every and then when they were done, they would leave.
Starting point is 00:12:22 And then the next night they would come back out. I bet there was a fucking raccoon party in your apartment as it was being built i love that that's a narrative i'm just gonna go with that narrative even if it isn't true i like the idea of a raccoon party i remember i was helping my friend move into a brand new house in england and he was like giving me the tour and we were moving stuff in and as a joke he licked the toilet seat because he was like ah it's the only time i could do that no one's used it yet and i was like the builders have probably shat in that thing a bunch and uh he always threw up yeah i was uh i was thinking about something similar uh actually right around the time that uh we all lost our jobs it would
Starting point is 00:13:03 sidetrack what but i had begun initial i had I had this thought and I had done some initial work around an episode of So Alright, where I got to thinking about how many people have touched your, something in your house, like how many people have touched your dining room table? Like physically human people have interacted with it. Like if you, or like your microwave microwave. Think about every component that was built in the microwave that was touched by a human being, the person who packed it up, the people who did the quality control checks,
Starting point is 00:13:34 the people who loaded it onto a truck, and then the people who unloaded it and then put it on a shelf, and then you bring it in your house and then you unpack it. By the time you open a brand new item that nobody's ever used before, hundreds and hundreds of humans have probably physically interacted with it. And my dining room table is one of those shitty, like made from reclaimed pallets table. So it was a pallet before it was a table.
Starting point is 00:14:01 So it's probably got even longer life. It had a whole other life. And then if you want to take it back to like that palette was a tree that a human cut and then milled you know and even if it's a human running a machine he's still pushing buttons and manipulating what's happening and somebody's still taking it off the thing and loading it up as lumber and then somebody it's or like my dining room table is an old like danish table i bought uh from a like a used furniture store from the 60s right like a danish modern table a million how many people have just eaten dinner at that fucking table
Starting point is 00:14:30 you know god imagine if before you died you had to put everything back just look at all your stuff and be like, oh no, where's all this shit from, technically? It kind of overwhelmed me for a couple days, though, where I just couldn't look at anything in my house and not think about how many hundreds of people had had their grubby hands all over it. I don't even want to think about how many people have touched my sofa before I ever did.
Starting point is 00:14:59 Especially if you're thinking about the foam and the fucking fabric and the assemblage of the fabric. It's mind-boggling. How many people's balls do you think have been on it? Oh, tons. Everybody I know that's a dude has had their balls on it, pretty much. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:17 You know? At least that I know that I spend any kind of time with. But I was thinking about it because, because like 150 years ago or 120 years ago you would like forge out into the west and then you'd build a house with your by yourself or with another friend or with your wife or your kid and then you'd if you needed something in that house you'd go cut down a tree and you'd fucking make it and you could have a house that you were the only person that touched potentially you know like it'd get complicated if you bought like a piece like something made out of iron that you got down from the local smith or whatever but for the most part
Starting point is 00:15:53 you would have been the only person to interact with all of your shit and boy are we in a different world than that now totally that's crazy to think about do you ever drink a glass of water and think how these molecules how many people have they been inside before? No. No, I never have, but I'm not going to drink water anymore. Eric said never. WTF. You never thought that? No. I've never
Starting point is 00:16:15 ever thought that, ever. And now I am. There's a finite amount of water on the planet. Yeah, no, I understand that. I just never thought about it being through a person. It just never occurred to me. Now it has. Thanks, no, I understand that. I just never thought about it being through a person. It just never occurred to me. Now it has. Thanks, man.
Starting point is 00:16:27 Appreciate it. No worries. Anyway, when you're walking around your apartment or your home tonight, just pick one random item and pick it up and then think, 7,000 people touched this before I knew it existed.
Starting point is 00:16:42 And then wipe it down. Going back to the mystery conversation of Gavin's resolution, do you guys have any Easter eggs or things related to this show that have never come out? You're still just sitting on?
Starting point is 00:16:57 Aside from notes that I don't understand, I don't think so. I have stuff that was in process that was that could still be in process like there's a few things here and there that i don't need to wrap up because i'll just carry them on to the next thing if that makes sense gracie said grip strength that'll that's carrying on and it's gonna that is not over don't i mean just jeff don't even bother don't i mean what's the point it's fine just say okay
Starting point is 00:17:25 and let's keep going okay that we didn't pre-measure no we didn't we didn't pre-measure to say yet we pre-measured right but you don't want to say the pre i'm fine saying the pre now if it's gonna be late now now that you've now that i stopped doing it for fucking two months at this point you have to just start over. I mean, get real. Get real. Listen, I don't want to go down this road of anger and fighting. I'm looking at that street, and there's no way anyone comes out feeling good about themselves.
Starting point is 00:17:57 So we're going to keep walking. I don't think that's true. I think I'm not involved. You're not involved. Decidedly not. But I had an Easter egg for this show. One of the bigger ones I've done, no one's found. I've been sitting on it for like nine months,
Starting point is 00:18:13 and I don't know how to go. Oh, is that what you were X-ing the other day? I was X-ing the other, what? I saw a tweet. Like on Twitch. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I saw a tweet from you that somebody had posted. So is it like to the level of maybe one of us has Monopoly money in our house I saw a tweet. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I saw a tweet from you that somebody had posted. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:25 So is it like to the level of maybe one of us has Monopoly money in our house and we don't know it sort of thing? I would say it's beyond that. I don't know how much I should reveal. I confirmed it's still there. I gave all the instructions to find it in an episode within the past nine months. Is it like a scavenger? Like it's out to the public to find it in an episode within the past nine months. Is it like a scavenger? It's out to the public
Starting point is 00:18:48 to find? Well, I was hoping someone would just find it one day because I prompted how to find it subtly in a show that we did within the last nine months. It has yet to be discovered. No traces of it.
Starting point is 00:19:03 Within the last nine months, you say? Within the last nine months, to give a little bit of a range. Now, is this an Easter egg for us or for the audience? I mean, you guys don't know about it. I mean, it could be something that you could discover. Yeah, but you could fill a fucking ocean with what we don't know.
Starting point is 00:19:19 I could tell you guys offline if you want, or do I review? I don't know what to do. I know. Cause this is wrapping up as does it end when the company ends? Uh, it will still exist. Continue.
Starting point is 00:19:32 It will just still be there to be found. Then we just, we just wait. Okay. Should I give like a clue? I mean, it sounds like you just did. It's within the last,
Starting point is 00:19:43 I guess. Yeah. Within nine months. That means it was nine months ago if that's what you want to believe then you can do that I can love you I'm not going to confirm or deny that statement.
Starting point is 00:20:09 You'll see. When it's found, if it is found, people will confirm if that's right or not. Okay. I do love when people say shit like that. It was like, yeah, I waited for over 20 minutes, and it's like, so 21 minutes or 20 minutes and one second. We should also we need to pass the torch. My watch has ended on the Nick mask. Who's taking
Starting point is 00:20:33 Q2? I think I was Q2. And the last couple episodes, did you have an ear out for it? Yeah, I've been listening. I've noticed that a lot of the audience seems to think that he's already worn it, but if he has that, I didn't pick up on it.
Starting point is 00:20:50 Well, yeah, he's supposed to declare if he's worn it. Exactly. And we're all up to date on the rules always. We know that. Yeah, yeah. This is definitely a thing that we remember and we always take stock of. And that I know Gavin was diligently paying attention to
Starting point is 00:21:05 for three straight months. Now I'm clearly also laser focused. It means just as much to us as it does to you, the listener at home. A hundred percent. Absolutely. Now, does he have to do this in face or can it go over to the next thing?
Starting point is 00:21:24 I think it has to. I think it's unfair. I think it can roll into the next thing. I think it rolls into the next thing i think it has to i think it's i think it can roll into the next thing i think it rolls into the next thing yeah yeah that sounds like face jam nick that was face jam nick occurs a couple of octaves above normal he He does. You can ask Gracie. Gracie knows when when Nick is in face jam mode, it's the pitch is like higher. It's very but also we did face jam earlier today. So that might be nice.
Starting point is 00:21:54 He's having trouble coming down. Is he in the mask right now? Wait, are you wasting a guess? No, I know you not. Are you? Yeah. Are you wasting again? First of all, I think if we all fired our bullets, we would have more bullets
Starting point is 00:22:10 and there are shows left as f*** face. I don't think... I think that'd be a problem for you. If I wouldn't fire the bullet in response to it, do you want to waste a guess? Do you want to be wrong today or next week? Today? Okay, cool. Does Eric have different modes?
Starting point is 00:22:27 Does Gracie have different modes between the two shows? Oh, I think. I don't know if Gracie will admit that she does, but she does. No, I do. I do. Are you more of a freak or less of a freak on this one? More. Here, less. Less.
Starting point is 00:22:40 Here, I'm way less. Even with that picture you took? Yeah. So how come you're half-assing it over here, Gracie? Sounds like you're giving 110% over to those Face Jam fuckers. It's a different beast over there. She doesn't have to do any of the heavy lifting here. There's plenty between the three of you, so it's fine.
Starting point is 00:22:59 There's a talent deficit on the other side. I get it. It's a lot about when the food gets involved, because I take charge in that realm and that's what really gets me out of my cage. The food gets her and Nick going in a way that is like inhuman. Somebody described Face Jam as forefathers
Starting point is 00:23:17 that have a daughter that they're not related to that sleeps in a human dog bed. And that really is the show. And we eat pizza. That's kind of it. That's just kind of it. Hey, speaking of eating stuff, apparently it has been brought to my attention
Starting point is 00:23:38 over and over and over again in all forms of social media and email that the banana thing we invented or that I invented exists in many, many forms and has for a very long time. I had no idea. There's no point in trying to go further down that road because I can buy 20 different ones on Amazon.
Starting point is 00:23:58 But you also don't have to let me know about it anymore. I got the message. I really 100% got the message. We can still do our own version, not versions of the product, but we can still fill our bananas and present them to each other with stuff. Yes, we can.
Starting point is 00:24:13 And I think that's still a good idea. I just don't think we need to be in a rush to do it. Yeah, no, the market is already set. We can take our time. I'm not going to try to sell a product doing it, but we can definitely make our own versions and add it to the rich pastiche of face culinary. Because I still want to see if a Tums-powdered,
Starting point is 00:24:34 Pepto-filled banana is suitable for Gracie. No. The answer is no. I think it will be. Well, there's only one way to find out what so you're gonna do it yeah this is insane that's insane
Starting point is 00:24:53 well then if she keeps it down it worked right but I don't yeah something tells me I'm not gonna keep it down I respect the willingness to try Andrew and I almost filmed a new show this week, but then we didn't.
Starting point is 00:25:07 Yeah, I guess so. Oh, what happened? I just felt terrible yesterday. I sounded worse yesterday than I do today. Wow. But we're close. We're close. We got the components.
Starting point is 00:25:17 We're very excited. Very excited. What are you actually doing that keeps triggering your gag reflex? Vomiting acid. I went over this. That was the whole beginning of the show. No, but I'm saying what
Starting point is 00:25:27 causes that? Oh, I go like I'm trying to cough up phlegm and then I push it a little too hard. Oh. Okay. And then I cross a point of no return. Fuck.
Starting point is 00:25:44 Have you never done that? Oh, yeah. Well, there we go. You know exactly what I'm talking about. You just made it sound like you kept trying something and then you gagged. Well, I was trying to cough phlegm up and then I, you know,
Starting point is 00:25:59 I was successful and some, unfortunately. Bad play. But listen, I learned my lesson two times. Not going to happen a third. Ain't going to happen a third. Fool me twice. Wherever you're going, you better believe American Express

They're filming the last of a season two where I live for six weeks. They're filming it in the downtown core which is a street where i live um and my problem with this is for six weeks it's gonna be shut down and the best donut shop in the city is on that street no donuts for six weeks all because of the last of us two i'm so annoyed
Starting point is 00:28:02 well i'm so fucking mad at these stupid clickers and these fireflies. If you get a job as background, though, can you just keep going to the donut shop? No, because it's closed. They're just not. It's closed to crew? All the businesses. Yeah. No.
Starting point is 00:28:17 All of the businesses are shutting down and they're being compensated that week. So here's what's going to happen. Those weeks. That business, that donut shop. When does this take place compensated that week. So here's what's going to happen. Those weeks. That business, that donut shop, when does this take place? Like next week. Okay, you've got time. All right.
Starting point is 00:28:32 Do they know you by face at the donut shop? No. No, but you go there a lot, right? Yeah, I go there sometimes. And I know you're personable in person because you turned the entire Canadian bagel industry upside down. I uh so when you have a product like the regulation bagel it's it's hard not to exactly and so the point the reason
Starting point is 00:28:53 i bring that up is that the people know of you now in that community i'm sure so here's what you do you go into your donut shop and you go listen i heard you guys are getting a week off a full pay right what's better than getting a week off full pay how about getting full pay but also working about half as hard as normal running an illegal fucking uh fly by night donut shop at the back of the store they don't have to know what's going on we'll keep the keep the curtains closed keep the windows the shutters drawn right and uh and you can you could even become a distributor for them and you could like you could they could compile a list of their best customers and then
Starting point is 00:29:30 you could they you could do secret orders by night and you could be a runner for them and you could send off you you could be the guy that delivers the donuts and then you can always take a little bit just for you it could be a wildly profitable for everybody involved i love the idea of seeing an episode like ellie in the foreground searching stuff you just see andrew running through the background out of focus with a bag of donuts like that zombies wearing shorts i definitely want to steal something from that set but i don't i don't know when or how probably would just end up being a poster if anything it's unfortunate with the the last of us it post-apocalypse not exactly a lot being
Starting point is 00:30:13 added it's more removed I would assume yeah it's just it's gonna be weird to watch the last of a season to be actively angry at certain scenes being like they they shut me down for this this one sequence it took how many days six weeks do you get a donut from there not often but maybe like once a month so you're gonna miss out on one donut you're gonna miss
Starting point is 00:30:37 out on 1.5 donuts there might be a time in which I really want a donut in that stretch and I'm not going to be able to get it. Well, it sounds like you're not willing to go down there and do the hard work to talk to the owners to figure out how to sell donuts illegally. No, I'm not willing to go down there and start an illegal donut ring. You're right. You called me on it. You're right. You would have made so much fucking money in six weeks and you would have been the hero of your
Starting point is 00:31:00 entire community because you're not the only little boy in a room somewhere in Vancouver Island right now lamenting the fact that donuts are going away for six weeks. There's hundreds, if not thousands of you in your community that you could be servicing. But irrespective of that, just go buy a dozen donuts and freeze them. I guess, but I don't know. I like them fresh. I don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:31:19 I don't think it's the same. There's nothing better than a fresh donut. You're 100% right. Yeah. Have you thought about just... They got cr thought about just getting the ingredients from them early and then making them at your house later? I can't make donuts. I tried once. It was a disaster. So you just need a fryer?
Starting point is 00:31:34 How do you make one? Yeah, you get an oil in a pot. What if you did it with your Keurig? You put the oil in the back of your Keurig. Heat it up. It just gets infused with molten oil. Many years ago, I bought the Carmella Soprano cookbook, and one of the recipes in that cookbook was donuts.
Starting point is 00:31:58 It's the only recipe I tried to make out of that cookbook, and it did not go well. Great book. There's a lot of lore in it. If you're a Sopranos fan, worth exploring. But you can learn the Sopranos universe. You didn't learn anything from it though? Like you didn't learn anything not to do
Starting point is 00:32:16 for the next time you want to make donuts? I learned not to do it again. I didn't take away. What went wrong with it? That I learned. They just, they were kind of hard. They weren't all that fluffy. God, I'd love to watch you make donuts.
Starting point is 00:32:31 I think it'd be great. I think you'd nail it. I'm not. We could Twitch that. Donut, a donut cam? Yeah. Andrew in the kitchen making donuts. Do you typically go for a filled donut or a ring
Starting point is 00:32:45 donut? I'm not a fan of the filled donut. I like the ring. I'm a ring donut guy. Hey, what's everybody's favorite donut? I like a classic plain ring with chocolate on top. I think that's a classic. And I don't mind the occasional sort of raspberry jam one filled.
Starting point is 00:33:01 Mmm. I think maybe like honey glaze could go for it. raspberry jam one filled. Mm. Mm. I think, uh, maybe, like, honey glaze could go for it. Honey glaze? I just stay away from all white goo on the inside of donuts.
Starting point is 00:33:14 Mm. Are there foods that you go all in for the white goo? That's not a donut. Is that a bear? Apple fritter. Apple fritter. Apple fritter.
Starting point is 00:33:24 Not a donut. It's an absolute donut total donut yeah it's a donut gracie says strawberry glaze nick says maple you know what my favorite donut is just a fucking uh glazed donut just a normal ass donut they glide down you can just stuff like most of it in your mouth and they become nothing it's great i like every donut y'all have posted here and i would eat every one of them but like when i think donut i just want to eat a bog standard donut there's something about you jeff that that tracks with so hard for me like you are oh yeah if i had to guess i would be like that guy doesn't want anything going on except glaze it and let me just fucking tamp these down my throat as fast as i can so you so you're not a voodoo fan or a gordos no i like them just fine i every once in a while
Starting point is 00:34:11 on a sunday we'll get voodoo and you get like the sampler pack and they're great but it's they're they're a fun distraction but i'd be just as happy eating a regular donut like if you brought me 12 krispy kremes or 12 voodoo donuts i'm not enjoying the voodoo more than me 12 Krispy Kremes or 12 Voodoo Donuts, I'm not enjoying the Voodoo more than the Krispy Kremes. That makes sense. Just Jeff sitting in his little booth. He's got his black coffee with nothing in it. His donut with a basic glaze. You're
Starting point is 00:34:35 goddamn right. 70s beat cop style. Just sitting there enjoying the most basic thing. That totally makes sense. I thinkff's becoming more of a bog standard guy as he ages oh yeah could be i think you just like at some point who you are gonna be is cemented and who you are is probably some grown-up version of what you thought grown-ups were when you were a kid and so i think eric's nailed it with the 70s beat cop because I grew up as a kid in the
Starting point is 00:35:06 70s in the early mid 80s. And so all the grown ups that I was that I experienced through film and television in my life were kind of like that. Just like dudes with mustaches who drank coffee at a black coffee out of a foam cup and ate regular donuts. You know what I mean? And like and didn't bother with ketchup or mustard on stuff. And that's who I'm turning into.
Starting point is 00:35:27 And so I think I'm just a product of the Rockford Files. Maybe you should have been a cop. Maybe that's why you like Twin Peaks so much. Jeff is a cop. Dude, I've been thinking about doing a full fucking Twin Peaks watch through again. Oh, I should give you a Blu-rays back then, because you said you would never watch it ever again.
Starting point is 00:35:48 I know. I know I said that. I know I said that, and I thought it. I meant it, but it's been... I need to go back and finish season three, and if I'm going to finish season three, I might as well watch season one and two. I'll give you your discs back.
Starting point is 00:36:00 No, don't give them to me yet. Okay. I might get distracted. Can I jog something back for a second you were saying would love to watch andrew make donuts set up a twitch and then andrew's making the dots or whatever we couldn't even get this guy to film his hands playing this game with sticks we're not gonna get what are you talking about what's this i don't know i'm thinking maybe you're gonna make him? Maybe the new thing could be
Starting point is 00:36:25 Andrew turning over a new leaf with hand cam. Donut cam. 2024, new leaf, new cams. I just think a GoPro on your chest would lead to such immense content just throughout your life. Donut cam.
Starting point is 00:36:41 I agree. Thumb cam, donut cam, sushi cam. Sushi cam Sushi cam is dangerous I don't know if we can use sushi cam We gotta be careful of sushi cam I have another thing That Talking about easter eggs and secrets
Starting point is 00:36:58 Kind of a big one Kind of a big one I've been sitting on a little bit Tying a little bit. As you all may know, the company is, in fact, closing. Yeah. And it's, yeah, really, Gracie, I'm sorry that you had to learn this way. But it is.
Starting point is 00:37:18 And I decided I'm going to do something about this. I'm going to bring us back. Christ. It's what I'm going to do something about this. I'm going to bring us back. Christ. It's what I'm going to do. So if you're listening to this, it is Wednesday, April 24th, I think. What day is, when does this come out? Wednesday, April 24th. I am saving the company.
Starting point is 00:37:44 I am invading the store. They're coming. I made a deal with the Chinese government. We got it exported. We got sticks coming. The last drop in the RT store, the Andrew Pant line, to save the company. You can get your thumbsticks. Look at how fancy those thumbsticks are.
Starting point is 00:38:03 They got two sets of them. You can get a clog tube it is coming to the market look at how beautiful it is it is there it is sideways it makes noise it's a grown tube it's a plunger and last but not least because we're gonna need three products we're gonna save this goddamn company that that i'm putting on my back here. We got the Andrew Penn bobblehead of me wearing a face of my face. Available 10 a.m. Central. The last merch drop. I'm going to not save this company, but I'm going to goddamn try.
Starting point is 00:38:41 Are you fucking serious? When is this? This is coming out when? This April 24th. All of those releasing 10 a.m i'm invading the store there's gonna be banners of me all over the place this is my shit i'm bringing this company back andrew is saving the company but not saving it it's dead but i'm trying yeah i. I'm trying. Someone should let Warner know, I guess, that the company is about to be saved. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:10 They should. I will tell them when they get here next week, I'll let them know. I'll go on the set and I'll inform them. And I think that's probably the easiest way to do it. Look at these fucking sticks. Dude. They're precision. Precision. do it but look at these fucking sticks dude now the precision precision so we are very limited on
Starting point is 00:39:29 the number of sticks that we're selling very limited because it was insane to get them made but hopefully there's enough clog tubes for everyone limited to the stick there's not going to be yeah oh they are it it's a very low number well we know can we just say what the low number is or do you i don't i don't remember offhand but it was uh substantially lower and the it's one of the most collectible items that we've ever made well that's terrible that no one will no one will get what are they gonna do what are they gonna do complain until we shut down we're done gavin this is it this is it this is it. This is Andrew's last gap. This is it.
Starting point is 00:40:07 This is it. This is all of it. It's done. We'll see. We'll see how it goes. We might, everyone will be so mad. It is heartbreaking, a little heartbreaking, to see the stuff that we had cooking.
Starting point is 00:40:21 Oh, yeah. I'm just talking with merch stuff because obviously we're continuing the company may be ending but the podcast will soar to the heights of of the most successful falcons but uh but the merch is gonna take a hit in the interim like we're not gonna be able to invent clog tubes and shit immediately probably but tony in a merch or an e-com he put together just a graphic that showed everything we made all the weird shit we made on face throughout the course of the podcast and it's so wild to see all the dumb wacky goofy ridiculous broken shit we made we should post that publicly because that is an insane mood board of like if you asked me at the beginning to even list what's on there
Starting point is 00:41:07 i wouldn't have a clue what it half of it is or how we came to sell it you'd never be able to know how we got there right like yeah it's crazy we'll be sure to post it on social at some point i'm glad this stuff's coming out it is coming it's a bummer about the super limited numbers but um the fact that it's coming out at all. I thought the store was done. I thought that they had closed up shop. All the items are gone from it. So the fact that there's going to be one last drop
Starting point is 00:41:32 is a huge surprise to me. Last pant drop. Andrew Pantline. You know what would make this more fair? What? Make it a literal drop. Make it a dead drop. What is that?
Starting point is 00:41:44 What do you mean? Bury it somewhere. Oh. Make it a dead drop. What is that? What do you mean? Bury it somewhere. Oh! It's not that limited. More business. We should do- we should normalize dead drops. Buying stuff online, telling people where to dig, dig up the money, put the thing in the hole, bury it again. I'm all for this.
Starting point is 00:42:02 I support this fully. I've always wanted to do a thing where we bury something and someone has to find it. I like this idea a lot. Although I don't know how you would leave money in and not have the person just walk off with it. Maybe just a slight threat, like I'm watching you sort of thing. Well, for most humans, I would think that, yeah, it'd be a pretty big concern.
Starting point is 00:42:24 But for regulation listeners and comment leavers, they're top tier humans. You know what I mean? Like they're the cream of the crop. They're not going to do anything non-regulation in a situation like this. That's fair. I would agree with that. The patent dead drop. I would also agree.
Starting point is 00:42:43 The patent. Okay, here's what we're going to do. Very much bring the company a live drop. Is what it is. Here's what we're going to do. Can we get one of each of those three items, Eric, so that we can take it somewhere in Austin and bury it and then figure out how to give the audience the coordinates to find it?
Starting point is 00:43:02 I'll get the items. I don't want anything to do with any of the rest of this i don't like i don't like scared of burying i don't like giving coordinates i don't want the funny thing is you could give the coordinates to like the middle of a baseball field if you wanted to be carnage yeah yeah i mean it is just i don't want anything to do i'll get i'll get you the items but but that's it. Sounds good. That's all we need. Would you give me a ride to my burial spot?
Starting point is 00:43:32 Where you're going to be buried, absolutely. I've determined that I only ever get a ride with Eric if we're about to do something weird. Oh, yeah, because you rode over to Jackhammer. That was good. The Jackhammer was there. We rode over to Jackhammer that was good the jackhammer we run into jackhammer together we yeah yeah yeah we moved we moved a couch the other day we helped we helped move a couch very weird weird situations how did you get roped into moving somebody's couch yeah i really like i love helping people move and that may sound strange really i hate
Starting point is 00:44:07 moving my my own stuff but if it's other people's shit love it but i'll do that all day that's so interesting i had to move a couch recently uh into my storage unit and uh i uh i just waited until gavin was at my house and he couldn't leave. That makes sense. Well, originally you'd asked Eric. So Eric went already. Oh, yeah. I was like, I'll help too.
Starting point is 00:44:32 And then I arrived before Eric, and we kind of did it before Eric even arrived. You guys did? I showed up, and I was like, I guess I'll supervise. Good work. Yeah, get it in there. Although the strange thing was, when we were taking it to its next location, you just decided to walk next to us instead of bringing all the cushions which i thought was a strange i thought you know i'm supervising i'm making sure it's all on the up and up you know you did a great job
Starting point is 00:44:52 that whole job site will not work worked perfectly i'm glad you like it it's just as somebody who doesn't drive gavin it's wild to think that you got roped into moving. You would just be so low on the list as someone who doesn't actively drive. Yeah, I took it in my head. I took an Uber to help someone move. I part of it might also be, Andrew, I make a point in my life of never asking anyone for anything, not like never, but almost never. So that on the rare, rare, rare occasion where I can't figure it out on my own and I need help, people are so taken aback by the fact that I'm asking,
Starting point is 00:45:30 they don't think to say no. Ah, that's a life pro tip for you. Never ask anyone for anything ever. So on the rare occasion when you actually need help, they'll be more confused that you asked and they'll help. Do I have one of those banked with you then? Because I feel like I'm not a big asker either. Oh, you definitely have one of those banked.
Starting point is 00:45:51 I mean, yeah, man. You have a lifetime of those with me. You used one not too long ago, but you have a lifetime of them. A lifetime of them. Okay. I mean, you could cash in. Yeah, at least I'll do a couch move. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:04 Dude, you could cash in daily if you want to. I don't care. Huh. Huh. Do you have anything that you're thinking about cashing in on, Gavin? Well, it's definitely something to think about. Yeah. That was why I asked.
Starting point is 00:46:18 The answer was no. But I appreciate you fancied it up. You really styled that no. Good job, man. But I appreciate you fancied it up. You really styled that no Job man That's what 15 years of podcasting at work there Well, I don't know in those skills. No, I'd listen. I'm impressed Iron is sharp over there Maybe I could have you take over one of my
Starting point is 00:46:45 handjob shifts. What? From last week. Yeah, I could do one shift at the handjob. But that was your whole that was your dream, wasn't it? Hey, every dream becomes a job if you do it wrong.
Starting point is 00:47:01 That's true. Have you ever dreamt you were at work? Just working? Yeah. No. I have more dreams when I'm back at school. I've never dreamt I was working. I've dreamt that I've been in UFC fights
Starting point is 00:47:21 and those are terrible dreams. It's like somehow I've been signed up for this event and I'm like doing the walkout to the cage and I'm just going, I don't know how to fight. How did I get here? Why is this happening to me? I love dreams where you stop beyond all the points
Starting point is 00:47:38 where you could have pulled out. Yeah. But then I have to reverse that. I don't know if I talked about it on the show, but I have dreams where I'm trying to get home and I get like i go in the wrong boat or something and then i realize i'm in a dream and that if i just wake up i'll be in my bed and i'm fucked that's the greatest feeling it's so exciting yeah like a safety teleport yeah it's it's the closest to teleporting i think i'll ever get do you ever go on a killing spree right before you teleport? Um.
Starting point is 00:48:09 I don't know if I've ever killed anyone in a dream. That's a really interesting question. I've definitely had to deal with a body in a dream. Yeah? Yeah. I once dreamt that I killed Ray. I had to like hide it. Might be the most relieved I've ever been to wake up.
Starting point is 00:48:26 Oh yeah. Cause I don't even know how he died. I just had his body. I just, that made me think I did technically not a work dream, but I dreamt, uh, years ago before I even worked at achievement hunter in any capacity,
Starting point is 00:48:40 I dreamt that I worked there and got fired on my first day. Cause I made a, an inappropriate inappropriate joke i was let go immediately what was it from your joke book no wasn't that inappropriate i don't even think it was inappropriate i think it was uh something to do with like making a nazi joke of some. And I was let go. And the office was in the mall. Why would you even start to broach what the joke is on this podcast? Because it wasn't an offensive. I'm just saying the genre.
Starting point is 00:49:17 It's something to do with like Hitler, I think. I want to say. And then when we first did Let's Play, we did. We made a worms video. This is the first thing we did. And I tried to name my worm Baby Hitler, and I had a flashback of my dream of, am I going to get fired on my first Let's Play? Was I predicting the future?
Starting point is 00:49:38 But it got blocked out. The name wasn't shown. I've been... Sorry, go ahead. No, you go. No, you go. I go i was just gonna say i've been having a series of recurring dreams lately i haven't mentioned you guys but since we're talking about them where i also wake up similarly relieved but also kind of horrified um where do you remember a couple maybe a month ago now i was eating a piece of Mike and Ike's and my fucking tooth fell out.
Starting point is 00:50:05 Yes. And I had to go get my crown put back on. Pretty much since that day, I almost every night, I have a dream that I have to eat candy. Like somebody's making me eat chewy candy and I don't want to and all my teeth fall out.
Starting point is 00:50:19 And then I wake up. I have woke up with my hand at my mouth to catch my teeth coming out of my mouth a couple times. And I wake up. I have woke up with my hand at my mouth to catch my teeth coming out of my mouth a couple times. And I wake up horrified and then so instantly relieved that I still have all my teeth. But it takes me a second every day to suss out what's going on. Sucks. Oh, Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 00:50:38 Trina Gracie just wrote about a dream bubble gum losing teeth. Rips all her teeth out with bubble gum. Yeah. I don't like any of that. It's a relief to still have teeth. Rips all her teeth out with bubble gum. I don't like any of that. It's a relief to still have teeth, but man. Have you gained a fear of people named Mike and Ike?
Starting point is 00:50:53 Are they up on the intimidating ranking list for you? Oddly, I think if anything, it's improved the name Mike and Ike to me. I feel better about Mike and Ike as humans. I don't want to eat the candy anymore don't want to eat any candy anymore i'm like i'm scared of all candy now but which is probably a good thing but uh yeah i know i just i just wish i didn't have these fucking dreams all the time i've not come across a lot of ike's no neither have i ike who is
Starting point is 00:51:20 mike and ike i just assumed they made the candy. You think Mike and Ike are real people? I assume so. They were. Why did Mike and Mike and Ike broke up? Due to creative differences in the candy, Mike left to pursue a music career. Well, Ike pursued a career in art.
Starting point is 00:51:47 I was going to make an Ike. Are they at a reunion? Is Ike short for something? Ike. You think it's short for Ike? You killed Joe. On the legal documents, when they started the business, it was Michael and Eichel. Oh my god.
Starting point is 00:52:12 Well, surely we can't call these candies Michael and Eichel. You gotta change. No fucking way, it's Eichel! No, man, it's Eich now. Yeah, I have no idea. What is that short for? I have no idea. I have no clue.
Starting point is 00:52:22 Eich. You know what? I don't want to look it up. I want it to be short for Eichel. I never understood the whole Hank being Henry and John being Jack. I just don't know how one name could be another name. Always confused me. Eichel.
Starting point is 00:52:44 We're going to keep with Eichel. I looked up the answer. We're going to keep with Eichel oh you know definitely Eichel oh man I bet the real answer sucks huh it does so that's why we're do you ever I had a weird thought the other day are you ever relieved that you speak English over
Starting point is 00:53:02 a different language that's what you were taught I know I was looking at relieved that you speak english over a different language that's what you were taught uh i know i was looking at just in canada a lot of things have english and french on them and i i was i learned a little bit of french but uh not a lot this is the english word relief this is the French word for relief. It's so much more complicated. I was really good at spelling in school, and I don't think I would have been in a different language. That is so much more work for the same work.
Starting point is 00:53:37 I feel like Germany over-indexes in that. German words are very long. I just, I had never considered that a U.S. spelling champion less impressive to me than like a French spelling champion. I think English is probably the easiest language to
Starting point is 00:53:54 be a spelling champion. I mean, I don't know. I think part of the problem with English, it seems intuitive to you because you know it, but it's a mismatch of styles and rules and other languages and words that contradict each other. And so I think it probably doesn't's a mishmash of styles and rules and other languages and
Starting point is 00:54:06 words that contradict each other. And so I think it probably doesn't make a whole hell of a lot of sense to try to sit down and learn it. And so I wonder if you would learn the rules of another language and it would just be, honestly, a better built language. It might actually make it a lot easier.
Starting point is 00:54:22 I don't know. I've always wondered that. It's definitely built better. I assume, I know English is a mess, but it's actually make it a lot easier i don't know i've always wondered that it's definitely built better i i assume i know english is a mess but it's just purely on a level of memorize memorization of letters it is easy i found this german word that apparently means uh an insurance company that provides legal protection it's uh it is r-e-c-h-t-s-s-h-u-t-z v-e-r-s-i-c-h-e-r u-n-g-s-g-e-s-e-l-l-s-h-a-f-t-e-n how do they do business cards i'm not a fan of any word that ends in Shafton to be honest Shafton's good Have you ever put that word
Starting point is 00:55:10 into Google Gavin and tried to hear how they would translate it Oh that's a good call It always It sounds terrible in English I can't imagine that Nick's like a baby I just make funny noises and he kills him
Starting point is 00:55:39 a little baby down there no Nick don't no Get a little baby down there. No, Nick. Don't. No. Don't. You crossed the line. Wow.
Starting point is 00:55:53 It said real quick in German. All right. Say it. I just, I can't. I mean, the German. Just copy what it, you just heard it. Just copy. You just heard it. Just say it.
Starting point is 00:56:00 Be a fucking. No, it's harder. Just look at this. It's harder than it looks. Oh, shit. What's that? Is that the real link? It's a Google link.
Starting point is 00:56:09 What are you doing, man? Google says it, then you say it. Well, I mean, you both weren't showing up, so I couldn't quite hear it, but... I didn't say fucking anything. Why are you sending me a video that's a minute long? I don't know why it's a minute long. I don't know why the guy made it a minute long.
Starting point is 00:56:26 Gavin, so you can monetize it. Gavin is right. He says it so fast. Yeah. And then to have to repeat that, no fucking shot. Everybody shut up for three seconds. Right. Rechtsschutzversicherungsgesellschaften.
Starting point is 00:56:46 Rechtsschutzversicherungsgesellschaften Ritschofersicherungsgesellschaften There you go Hold on, I still wasn't an ad Easy Feed me up again Kevin asked me if I have a lawyer that I like using What would you recommend if I need something fixed but I also need legal advice
Starting point is 00:57:01 Oh, you definitely want to go check out Ritschofersicherungsgesellschaften I mean, with this and your Hitler joke but I also need like legal advice. Oh, I see you definitely want to go? You guys are talking. Hold on a second. If you're quiet right now. Oh, okay. Hold on. Yeah, Retsku supposed to go into fashion. Easy. That's easy. I didn't realize the Swedish chef spoke German is what I've
Starting point is 00:57:38 learned from this. Okay. It sounds very Swedish chef-ish. Chef-ish very Swedish chef-ish. Chef-ish. Jeff-ish. Swedish Jeff. The Swedish Jeff!
Starting point is 00:57:50 Swedish Jeff! Jeff, say that German word again. Swedish Jeff. I like Swedish Jeff a lot. Speaking of Swedish Jeff, I've been having an idea. And I don't know how to bring it up with you guys because I don't know how it'll affect the podcast. I want to see what you guys, maybe we can come up with some creative solutions for it.
Starting point is 00:58:15 It's been nagging at me for a couple weeks now. And it's not going away. I haven't talked about it with anybody yet. But I've been lately feeling very taciturn in general. What the fuck? You've been feeling what?
Starting point is 00:58:31 Taciturn? What? Is that one of your new words? Like, germane and what was the other one? No, it's just like
Starting point is 00:58:37 brief and short and not wanting to be very forward. Also, not like the word you used? It's a fucking perfectly normal word, taciturn i don't understand what your problem yeah uh so normal and uh i'm fucking i gotta start a podcast with
Starting point is 00:58:52 non-idiots it's a shame bernie was so annoying because at least he had a fucking vocabulary anyway uh i've been thinking gracie just saying it's not normal It's totally fucking normal Understand words Oh my god anyway I've been thinking About really fucking driving it Home to me right now For the last couple weeks I've been thinking I've had a strong urge To take a vow of silence
Starting point is 00:59:19 Oh You think For how long I don't know Yeah that could affect the podcast Oh, you think for how long? I don't know. Yeah, that could affect the podcast. I know. So, you know, the thing that we're about to go do, you think that now is the time for that?
Starting point is 00:59:32 Yeah, I think. No, I don't think it is. I think I'm gonna have to figure it out. And I think it could be complicated. But I'm having an intense desire to not speak out loud at all to anyone ever. So you yourself would be taciturn well i think i'm fairly taciturn as it is the the last six months or so but i i it's just progressing to the i feel like it's leading somewhere and i just like i just want to i've been thinking a lot about monks and how they just don't talk for an undefined period of time and just like until and i just i don't
Starting point is 01:00:02 know there's something appealing in that to me i've done that yeah how long yeah you did oh you did you did for years yeah oh yeah i don't recommend it but you talked outside of school right yeah a little bit yeah a little bit i feel like it might be different for me at 48 than it was for you at 6. It would completely end most things in your life. I mean, can we come up with clever ways to communicate? Like, what if I had a really robust soundboard of things I've already said? You're just communicating. You're just making it
Starting point is 01:00:35 harder. Yeah, that's just, that's, what are you, Andrew? Like, that seems like an Andrew idea. Yeah, it does. So it'd be like, Jeff, what do you want for lunch? Well, yeah, if i hit the wrong button you know it's so stupid it's so stupid clearly clearly it's i clearly the podcast is my priority over my own personal mental health and well-being. But I'm hoping we can come up with some sort of creative solution here. Maybe I just don't talk 23 hours a day or six days a week. But then one day I talk like on Thursdays.
Starting point is 01:01:20 I talk for an hour. Stop talking to Emily. Talk to us. I've stopped talking to most people. What if you run, you just operate like an old electric meter? We'll put some money in and then we buy ourselves like 40 minutes of talk. Oh, well, that's interesting. Like you want, like, like say, like you wanted to look at the Empire State Building or, or
Starting point is 01:01:41 the Golden Gate Bridge from, yeah, interesting. Yeah, just put a little coin slot somewhere on you. I have two thoughts, Jeff. One, we do a supplemental quiet cast. Just silence. See how long before anyone is willing to speak. I think some people would fold over time. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:03 Second thing, maybe we go into a recording. Maybe we do like a day of silence going into a recording to see how it feels. I'm willing to not talk to anybody for a day. Take a full day of silence. We don't take a 24 hours up 24 hours. We start the podcast. Now, that's interesting. That's interesting to me.
Starting point is 01:02:21 We're all coming into it on the even footing. That sounds so easy. Well, I am. Yeah, I don't. I don't think this will be tough. I don't think this will change anything. That's interesting to me. We're all coming into it on an even footing. That sounds so easy. Well, I am. Yeah, I don't think this will be tough. I don't think this will change anything, but I'm willing to do it with you. I feel like, though, everyone is going to need to do it, including Eric, Nick, and Gracie.
Starting point is 01:02:36 Of course. I don't think that that's... No, I'm... No. No? Okay, never mind. Everyone seems on board. I just assumed people wouldn't be on board.
Starting point is 01:02:45 Well, of course they would. Eric can't do his job. Right. I mean, that's sort of- Yeah, because he lost it. What's your point? No, Andrew's trying to save it with a bobblehead and a plunger. We're fine.
Starting point is 01:02:57 The company is in the shit, so I got the plunger coming. We're going to clear out of there. Sneak on through. It's also not something I have to do today. Maybe that'll be what I do after I retire. Or maybe I'll take a vacation and have a quiet vacation. But I like the idea of us trying it out for like a period of time altogether.
Starting point is 01:03:18 Yeah, I wonder if it will have icy hot on the ear effects on the podcast. I also wonder. We didn't do it. We did balls. Yeah. Do you think that I did both.
Starting point is 01:03:30 Do you think if you took an extended vow of silence, you could really zone in by putting icy hot on your balls and staying silent? Like you'd really like hone in on the silence? No, it would just be desk punching.
Starting point is 01:03:44 No. Yeah. I think I think i've like elevated silence no you don't okay i don't think that maybe that's advanced maybe we let's walk before we run okay well we need to wrap this one up uh we only have a few of these left so i really feel like you guys should leave people with something like really strong here. Could you walk on Icy Hot? What do you mean? If the floor was Icy Hot,
Starting point is 01:04:09 would it hurt? Yeah. We gotta do that. I feel like the bottoms of my feet are very resistant. Do you think you'd taste the Icy Hot like garlic? Oh. You'd be putting so much,
Starting point is 01:04:27 like you rub Icy Hot on your arm and then it's slowly like, I don't know, it permeates into the skin. But if you were standing on it, you'd have all the weight of you pushing down on the Icy Hot, compressing it and forcing it into you. And you'd be surrounded by, I bet maybe we should do an Icy Hot foot bag foot race. What about an Icy hot slip and slide?
Starting point is 01:04:47 Oh, God, that would be fucking. Andrew. First off, Gavin. Yes. Yes. Andrew. Yes. We need to have the icy hot summer games where we just do shit in somebody's backyard, but
Starting point is 01:05:01 it's all icy hot. How much money is worth of Icy Hot? Are we going to have to buy for a slip and slide? We're going to need to get a sponsorship. I wish that there was just Icy. Icy Hot, if you're listening to this, get after us. Let us know.
Starting point is 01:05:18 Yeah, or Tiger Balm, or Silladerm, or any of the other companies that make them. Yeah, Silladerm. I don't know, I made that up. Hey, Silladerm or any of the other companies that make them yeah Silladerm I don't know I made that up hey Silladerm
Starting point is 01:05:29 if you're listening to this Derma Ice or uh and if we don't reply for a day we were just in a vow of silence yeah
Starting point is 01:05:37 okay wrap this up we gotta go alright yeah everybody's gonna leave you're gonna leave with uh important you said, Eric? So I'll go first. Yeah, you are going to leave people with something important because we only have a few of these left, so go ahead.
Starting point is 01:05:53 Here we go. And then somebody just go after me. You gotta go and then someone else will go? That was it. I gave the gift of silence pretty taciturn of you thank you Nick has to edit all that
Starting point is 01:06:18 like the sound effects in they're like not in the recording who did the drum? Is that Chris? Oh, Kelly. Nobody else got anything. Okay. Perfect.
