My name is Jeff Ramsey. With me, as always, Andrew Panton, Nick Schwartz, Eric Bedore, and I guess also Gavin Free. Hello, everyone. Hello. Hello. How's everyone doing? Pretty good, actually. We just played Fallout 76 together and had a fun time.

Oh, that's great we've been playing video games like you wouldn't believe it's pretty ridiculous we've made not 10 let's plays in the last two and a half days it's been non-stop yeah i don't think anyone really wanted to stop we just depleted all of our energy yeah yeah you just like you gotta know you gotta know you know it's like those it's like those people that have that weird disease where they don't feel pain you know what i mean i could i could go doing let's plays like that in that configuration until i pass out with a pen in my hand i think yeah it's weird to have like my want to make them doesn't go away, but the energy does.

So it's just like, I wish I could... Yeah. It's like, I guess I need to sleep and then I'm ready to do the rest. Andrew, we played 76 together. It was kind of a clusterfuck. We're going to cut a lot of it out because we were having trouble figuring out

how team leaders worked and how missions worked and stuff. Okay at the very end we discovered i don't think this is gonna fuck the video by talking about it ahead of time burndog was in the game and fucking with us the entire time he was throwing grenades at us he was shooting us we had no idea we just kept gavin to be like did somebody shoot me? And everybody's like, shut up, idiot. And then at the end, he dropped a nuke on Gavin. Oh, my God. Yeah, I constantly see grenade indicators. And I would just assume because that's the normal run of things in this department for a decade.

Is there someone chucked a grenade at me? But I never did really push it. I didn't really try to find out who it was. No one owned up to it. It was none of us. It also kind of reads like a bethesda bug like i would be like oh is there something in the like what is happening we we went into like a vault area and we came out and there was just grenades dropping constantly and i was like oh we're in like a grenade area we got to get out of here it's here like it's a raid

oh that was so funny I watched a bunch of clips he sent me of him like going invisible and sniping Gavin from across the room why was he talking to me specifically well why wouldn't he yeah you know why you know the answer to that question

you know you he was like uh Knoxville the first Jackass movie with the horn, the air horn at the Gulf. That's just what I'm imagining. He's getting ready, setting up stuff, and then just a little turn around the corner and the back of my head goes shaved. Yeah, he's just throwing grenades at us to help with his bursitis. That's awesome. Eric's been doing his Bam Marguer impression for two days straight.

It's great. No one ever laughs, so it's fun that somebody laughs at it. Oh, my God. It's been tickling me. I can't stop laughing. Oh, my God. Look at you, regulation fan. Hey, real quick, I wanted to give a shout out.

So as you all know, last week I went to Boston to go to the to the Celtics game to finals game against Dallas Mavericks and Boston won. It was awesome. It was probably a top top three moment in my life. I would say being in that room with 27000 other Boston fans watching us win. But in the hotel we were staying at, I ran into a guy who worked at the hotel who's like, oh, shit. Hey, what's up, Jeff? And he was like, oh, I'm a regulation listener, comment lever now.

And it was a really nice dude named Peter and we struck up this conversation. He worked at like a restaurant and he was trying to get us to come back and like give us a hookup. But we ended up missing a boat and our whole night got thrown out of whack so I never made it back there.

But then the next day, he also worked at the game in like the pro shop and so he had made for us all this regulation fan Celtics jersey number 24 it's official you can see it actually has the NBA finals patch on the back of it that's so cool which is really hard to get you got to basically go there to get it right and so just like the nicest dude his name is Peter so I just wanted to say thank you to peter for the jersey and for the support and it was really really nice getting to talk to him and hang out with him for a few minutes and just such an awesome uh piece of regulation gear from the nba finals that we can all enjoy maybe we should make some uh cheeky those like little challenge coins that people do and it just says legendary listener I was gonna kind of

talk to you guys about something like that how about just yeah or just legend just legend in general just you're a legend here you go you're a legend here you go I uh are you gonna wear it to game four uh I don't

think I'm gonna I don't think I'm gonna go to game four I considered it. Tickets are super expensive and it's a big drive. And then, you know, I don't know. I don't want to be surrounded by a bunch of Dallas fans when we win the championship and then have to get back to my car, you know. And also, like, I had such a genuinely beautiful experience that weekend. Like, it was just one of those perfect weekends. And it was so kind and wonderful of Emily to surprise me with it.

And I just don't think, even getting to watch them win, I don't think would be better than the experience I already had. So I think I'll probably save money. I would love to see you in a Dallas crowd wearing a regulation fan jersey that's the same in the event that they sweep.

That would be great. Wearing my regulation beat down. Yeah, I mean, definitely coming back full of regulation holes. Dallas is a you-get-shot kind of city. I don't want to do that. Well, it's in a you-get-shot kind of state like Texas. That's true. Quick on the draw.

Speaking of last week and some of the stuff we did games i feel very vindicated last episode we did opera i did the opera explain my opera thing and i learned after the fact that my partner was on a call in the other room and somebody said on the call what is that noise it sounds like opera music and it's the most vindicated I've ever felt. I felt great about it. They said it sounded like opera, not emotional noises? Though, uh, they didn't say emotional noises, listen. They knew more than I did. I thought it was sheet music, to be more clear. I thought they were singing, like, the equivalency of notes.

Not that there were words associated with those things. What do you mean, the equivalency of notes? Well, you know how like a guitar, when you strum a guitar, it's notes. Those are sounds. But you don't go wow, wow, wow.

You don't sing those notes. I mean, I do it sometimes. That feels like it could be a note. Well, here, maybe this will help with your vindication. I checked on the subreddit today because there was a poll up. Did you know that opera was words before Andrew's revelation?

And I went ahead and answered truthfully so I can see the results. Wow. It's pretty close. 78% said yes. Or I'm sorry, 78 people said yes. I knew they were actually words. Three people said yes. Or I'm sorry, 78 people said yes. I knew they were actually words. Three people said no. Well, it's still 30%.

Let's focus on the 30% instead of the seven to three. Now, here's the thing. I put up polls. I put up polls on what we talked about. So on Twitter, what language is opera? Is it Italian or blah, blah, blah, blah, which is what we said in the episode. Or the other poll was, is opera language or noise?

5,000 people answered, 30% saying blah. 30%! I feel very vindicated. You shouldn't. They're just trying to be funny. You shouldn't. Blah, blah, blah is more fun to click on. Oh, Mr.

Mr. Bringing in stats all of a sudden reverses his opinion on stats. No, I'm just saying we presented it. Mr. I have a blah, blah, blah is far more appealing to click on than the truth. If I can know if if I can interject on the subreddit, somebody has put andrew singing over uh opera music and the top comment is with the music i can't tell if that's real opera or andrew's gibberish lol can i listen to this now yeah i say go for it yeah click on it right there give it a shot it's just a picture of a play button

that is true yeah welcome i would have been tricked by that, too. Sounded pretty good, doesn't it? Sounded like some opera right there. It's so fucking... You'd pay a top dollar for that opera. You'd pay a top dollar for that opera. It sounds like back alley opera. I could imagine you reflected in a dark puddle with rats listening. You mean like unsafe, performed illegally without the use of anesthesia opera?

That is shockingly good. Shockingly good. I'm the Backstreet Boys of opera. I'm literally in the backstreet. You're the long back boy of opera. I am. Yeah, I'm like the phantom

but the long back. It's just like a back brace instead of a mask. I phantom but the long back it's just like a back brace instead of a mask i uh i did some research i've been going a little deep into opera and i learned about the thing that got me into it hitman as i said has that opera sequence hitman is so fucking good the opera in hitman is i guess like a really famous one called tosca and part of the plot of that opera is somebody's like one of the main characters is an actor their lover is like spying on them and they get murdered and the the lover who's spying interprets it as an acting performance they think that they're acting out this scene when in reality they're just being murdered and they like run up after the fact to like check on them and then realize

like holy shit they are actually dead and that is the exact mission in Hitman you're recreating the opera that they're performing can be recreated within the game because you can like swap out the fake gun with a real gun so they die while doing that sequence and

one of the targets is their lover who is watching and so bond as well and in quantum well i feel like it was also in there was like a bond and a mission impossible back-to-back that had opera assassinations in it but i don't know if any of them were tosca they did but i don't think it was tosca yeah i didn't think was there a flute in the Mission Impossible one? Like a flute sniper? Am I imagining that? Doesn't somebody pull out a sniper rifle?

Yes. What is that? What is that? Is that Mission Impossible? It is. It is that one. It is. You're right.

Is it a flute sniper? Yeah. Am I crazy? Or is it just the silver sniper? I feel like they pull out a flute sniper? Yeah. Am I crazy? Or is it just the silver sniper? I feel like they pull out a flute. I started typing flute sniper. It auto-corrects to Mission Impossible. Oh, fuck yeah.

Yeah. Hell yeah. Yeah. Now that is some Hitman ass shit. That is, if they're not playing Tosca, Tom Cruise is playing Hitman. That's ridiculous. I just, why is that like a thing that I know, but it's not an insane thing that I know,

if that makes sense. Like that's, yeah, there's a flute sniper, which is possible. That's ridiculous. You just pay attention to snipers. What a dumb thing. Maybe you're just a big sniper guy. I imagine saving Private Ryan,

but the sniper is using a flute sniper the entire movie. Just really changed the tone of that one character. What if it actually went, when you shot it? Oh, you can play different notes? Like they're sniping and holding the keys? Now we're in a Zack Snyder movie. We've changed genres. What would be the best sniper instrument?

Is it a flute? You can't do... I want a trumpet. Does a trumpet... I think a trumpet works. Because when I shoot someone with my sniper trumpet, I just... Then immediately I want to hit them with the...

You could count a room full of people with that little sequence. Well, the thing with the flute though he's not shooting it like you would play a flute whereas i feel like with a trumpet you could actually be playing the trumpet while shooting because a flute you'd have to fire sideways wouldn't you yeah yeah i guess you would that's a good point i was thinking like a tuba wouldn't work because it goes down and up you'd have to like hold it and twist it and that'd be awkward yeah it's too bad there's no like bazooka-esque musical instruments what is that a little trumpet revolver thank you it's just a little trumpet gun that looks like a Starfield mod.

The Retromper. The Retromper. Yeah, or like a Saints Row weapon. Man, speaking of movies, I was just channel surfing the other night, and I landed on The Great Outdoors with Dan Aykroyd and and john candy which i hadn't seen in probably 30 years like since i was a teenager maybe and i didn't remember if it was good or not

it's not great um however summer rental was on right after it and that is a phenomenal fucking movie uh really really good um but in the great outdoors there's a scene where they shoot a bear with a shotgun and it shaves off its butt and so there's a there's his butt right and uh and it got me thinking is this another angle of it the bear runs away the bear's ass is essentially a human ass in the movie right which got me thinking is a bear's ass really a human ass or is that purely for comedy? If we were to shave all the animals in the world, how many of them would have human butts? Definitely a lot of monkeys.

Well, yeah, clearly all the apes and monkeys and yeah, all that stuff, gibbons and orangutans, those are all going to have human-y butts. But stuff that's a little to the left of our uh our developmental tree like does uh i don't know

uh what's a hairy animal i'm going the other way what if it like turns out that like turtles have huge fucking asses that they're just hiding you just don't see that shell they're not further yeah but they're covering it. You just don't see it in that shell. They're not fur, though. Yeah, but they're covering it up with the shell. But they are covered, yeah.

You can't see what's going on. You just see the little tail. What about like a donkey or a horse? Does that seem like something? Yeah, or like, what does a squirrel's ass look like? Does a squirrel have a human ass? Okay, wait, hang on. Or like a shaved panda ass?

Most human animal asses. I found a dog with the most human ass. That's unnerving. That straight up is just a- That dog's throwing it back. A man's butt. I don't think a chicken has a butt. I feel like I've seen a plucked chicken. Animals with human asses.

They don't really have butt cheeks, do they? No, not really. Ooh. I'm just trying to imagine like a... Okay. Like a raw one. Something's up with... There's something up with this.

It's like a sheep or a goat or something. What the... I don't know. I just feel like I'm about to see a bunch of shit that I don't like. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What the fuck is happening here? I just don't know if a bear has a

human ass or if it was purely for effect. Shaved bear ass. How about that? What if like a sparrow had a really meaty ass and no one ever knew? Oh my god, have you ever seen a picture of a shaved bear? No. Why would they shave a bear?

Don't look here. Oh. Like maybe it's got a skin condition or something? Looks like the dogs didn't have fur. Those show-off dogs. It looks kind of like an elephant. Oh, you know what?

Here's an actual picture of a bear ass that looks kind of human here i'll show you i guess they are ted you're sending a picture of fucking ted looks like a human ass that's a good show by the way what what a So trumpet guns. Gavin, get us anywhere else. Take us somewhere. I'd kill this bear with a trumpet gun. I'd get rid of that.

That's terrifying. Anyway, if you watch The Great Outdoors, pay attention to the bear's giant human ass. Bumble knows it's hard to start conversations. Hey. No, too basic. Hi there. Still no. 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. I became a lawn guy. Yeah? How's that going? Yeah, it's hot.

It sort of comes with the territory living in Austin and being a lawn guy. I was reading about what to wear and they were like, you gotta not wear shorts, you should wear long pants. Yeah. Pretty uncomfortable. And I guess you only really mow in the summer. Mm-hmm.

I'm rethinking it. You're rethinking it. You might not be a lawn guy? Yeah, glad you fired your guy, man. This is good. Well, I could get a new guy. Or the same, crawl back to the same guy. But I feel like I'm going to stick it out throughout the summer and see if maybe I just get a tolerance for it. I think don't listen to the wear long pants, wear long sleeve. Just wear whatever.

Just get out there. Put some sunglasses on. Wear a hat. You're fine. Just get out. Get after it. Just do it. Is there like a, you know, there's hat, you're fine. Just get after it. Is there, you know those beer hats with the straws?

Is there one that instead of putting straws into my mouth, it just leaks the water onto my head? Yeah, probably. Like a towel? Like a Mr. Hat. I bet that exists. Yeah, but if you look up Mr. Hat, that's... Is that like a Mr. Man? That's what I started looking up. I looked up Mr. Hat. I bet that exists. Yeah, but if you look up Mr. Hat, that's... Is that like a Mr. Bat?

That's what I started looking at. I looked up Mr. Hat, and it's just the character from South Park. It's not what I wanted it to be. And then here's an old guy selling me trilbies or whatever. Here you go, Gaff.

You're fucking hooked up right here. Oh, wait. No, that doesn't. Because I was just thinking of putting the beer hat on and just stabbing both cans and filling them with water. You could definitely do that. Yeah. Why don't you just get, like, what if you got, like, a floppy hat, you know what I mean? i mean and then like soaked it and then put it on

so that way it's like a constant 360 drip and it's cool like like dunk that in cold cold cold cold water yeah and then put it on you know what i mean you can even freeze it freeze the hat an ice hat yeah yeah make it an idea dude i'm gonna soak it freeze it and Freeze the hat? An ice hat? Yeah. Yeah, make it an ice hat. Dude, I'm going to soak it, freeze it, and wet. Oh, that's going to be hard to pawn, probably. No, you got to put something, like put a watermelon, put a melon in the wearable part when it freezes. I got it.

I got it. Yeah. You're good. You're good. Here we go. So it's a solar-powered cooling hat that has a little fan in the front. And it looks like a cowboy hat and it will make you cool. I love that.

I'm going to try all these things. How about this? What if next time you cut the grass, you let me come over and I'll take the hose and I'll follow you around and I'll just hit you with the hose every once in a while. On the mister setting, not the jet, obviously. Yeah. Well, I don't want too much... I don't want to mow wet grass. Well, I'll come up from behind you. Or you could take a step back. I can hit you and you can go forward.

Okay. Let's try all three of these methods. Okay. And I'll rate them. I'd be happy to follow behind you and hit you with a hose. Did you have the Nacho helmet that we made before? Do you have one of those? Yeah.

I feel like you could put that on, drill a hole in the top of it, and then fill it with water while you're wearing it. Oh, you want me to wear it upside down? No, no, no. You put it on, and there's a hole in the very top of it, and then you get a hose and you fill that with water above your head. What do you mean fill? How am I filling it if it's upside down on my head? If it's, I mean, the right way up on my head. You know what?

This is me thinking about me wearing a hat and that it won't come down and that I got a lot of room up above. Oh, you think that it would be sealed on. Yeah, but I'm realizing that your head will just fit and there will be no room i've been i've made that suggestion purely in my own life experience and think forgetting that other people can wear hats properly so on your head it would sit like a like a shell on top of your head yes yes it would and it's so it would work liquid with your actual head underneath the entire hat yeah like it would

there would be a little bit of a seal because it wouldn't go all the way down it would just hit the top and then rest and then there would be a giant just open container essentially that would be fillable have you actually tried to wear that hat uh yeah i have not even not no doesn't work you know those pliable little ice packs you can get that are like gel that will go in uh i don't know like a sleeve that you'll put on like a sore muscle or whatever you just freeze them and then you just kind of they're kind of pliable and malleable but they're cold what if you just glued a bunch of those to the inside of a large baseball hat and then freeze your baseball cap and then just cram that on your head. Sounds like I'm going to be

in the summer lap. You might be. And you make two of them and then after like 30 minutes or whatever, when that one starts to not be cold anymore, you just grab the other one

and throw that one back in the freezer. Oh, Gavin, I got a product for you. I have a product. I didn't know that this is an actual thing, but you could get yourself one of these. A nice little cooling vest. Look at that.

Oh, wow. It's a vest that you could have ice in and just drive around feeling all cool. That's cool. And also, if someone wants ice for a drink, you could have ice in and just drive around feeling all cool. That's cool. And also, if someone wants ice for a drink, I could lend them one. Absolutely. Oh, just peel off a couple. Be like, oh, man, my soda is so hot now.

And you're like, don't worry, bruv, I got you. And then you throw me like six ice cubes. Yeah, and I could open my waistcoat like that. Like, you know, what are you selling sort of manner yeah and see if i just walk the trail maybe and see if i can flop some ice i bet i could make 50 bucks selling ice cubes ice man potentially could maybe try to find lemonade stands that are they're not cooling properly and be like i got you how much yeah as long as you don't mind an ice cube that's been rubbing against my sweaty shirt.

They're not going to drink it. They don't care. They're selling it. Okay, so I'm like the wholesaler of ice. You are, yeah. I think this will work great. I think you should get this. It definitely, you have an extended season in Austin

and a lot of earning potential. You're going to be able to do this until mid-October, guaranteed, probably. Does La Nina turning into... What? Oh, boy. Let's hear that again. Does that have any impact?

La Nina? La Nina or El Nino? Yeah, whatever those are. Is that like a heat wind thing? What is that? Yeah, I think think so i keep hearing that it's changing from one to the other does that have an impact on the summer is it gonna be hotter yeah it'll have some sort of an impact that uh nobody here is smart enough to understand

or tell you about well there we go that that's another thing you need to consider gavin you you are picking what potentially is an abnormally hot summer to do this. Or dry, abnormally dry summer. It's true. You mean to start mowing or to start selling ice? Both, actually. I think it makes the mowing more difficult, but the ice selling more easy. I think it works for you and against you.

Do they make a mower that just has a backward-facing mister? I think you would just have to put that on your mower, right? That's lab work right there. Yeah, that's big-time summer lab work. That's easy-peasy. What about a mower that is like an RC car, and you could just be in the house looking out a window, steering this thing?

A kid comes to play with it, gets his hands chopped off. You can buy a robot mower. Yeah, and somebody, I think, on the subredditor in the Discord was talking about it, and they said the most shocking thing about Gavin becoming a lawn guy is that I just assumed that he was, like, a robot mower guy already. And I agree with that. I just would have thought that he had a robot mower.

That, to me, though, is no different than just paying the guy. I'm probably going to spend, like, three years worth of paying someone to buy this freaking mower that you know is going to mow in, like, weird shapes and get stuck and need to charge. And I'm not a part of it. I feel like that's the same. I wanted to get into it. I wanted to get stuck in.

You're in now. You're stuck. Oh, you're stuck. Stuck to get into it. I wanted to get stuck in. You're in now. You're stuck. You're stuck. Stuck to my frickin' shirt. You gotta pop that tarp off, dude. Go shirtless. Short shorts. Give Meg a show.

Put on, like, get, like, a wet towel and, like, ring it over yourself. She'll love it. Yeah, dude. What do they say? If you can't get out of it get into it

you turn into a turn into this sexy yard guy this is you know you know what you need you need a fish net uh you need like a fishnet t-shirt yeah kind of like a kind of like a frodo war in 50 first dates what if you get... Sam. Sam Wise. Sorry. Oh. That could be you, Gavin.

Right there. Yeah. Oh, wow. Yeah, I feel like as long as we print that image on the inside of the fishnet, that could be me. That would be sick, actually. Get into it.

I wonder if there is a fishnet with abs under it. Sure. This is Gavin. That's awesome. There's something about mary we need to get you we need to get you those glasses too i um i went and saw furiosa it was nice to see andrew in that. Oh, I'm in it. You're in it? I'm bringing those. There's a character called Piss Boy. Oh, no. He's like keeping the engine cool with charts of piss.

Listen, I innovate. There's also a character called Rictus Erectus, which I think was in the last one, too. But I'm pretty sure I named one of my worms something like that before these movies. You think they stole your name? You think George Miller was watching the worms and taking notes?

I just thought that was a crazy coincidence. I think mine was Rectus Erectus, but he had Rictus Erectus. But pretty damn close. Pretty damn close. I wonder if Jack knows about it. If you have any ice cubes to spare for my piss engine, Gavin, it is running hot. I could use

I'm doing my best over here, but Have you ever collected any of your piss? No. I haven't. I thought we deemed I'm not piss boy anymore. I thought that was a whole thing with this podcast. We can put it to the audience. Is somebody else a piss boy?

Who is piss boy? No, we already did this. This is the first episode of this. You know what they say, everything old is new again. Oh, yeah. Wait, we did a piss boy poll? I feel like there was a vote on it, but at the very least, there was a declaration that I wasn't. There was an attempt to pass it off to the piss rat thing, but I think we just have two.

I think we have a piss rat and a piss boy. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Like a whole league of piss superheroes. Jeff, you were recording your piss, so we've got a piss rat, a piss recorder, and just a generic piss voice. Yeah. I'm like piss Mike.

Your name is piss Mike? Yeah, because I'm always recording piss I mean you guys call me something different I'm just throwing that out there I would just go with piss man but I mean but that Gavin or Nick might really bad eventually we don't know what they're gonna be did we ever talk

about how I added my first because on the new work slack we have regulation farts is one of our oh I contributed my first ever one recently i have so many questions about it too we haven't talked about this first of all why why did you do this what was the inspiration what caused this to happen i wanted to be like my friend jeff and did you feel like you had a big one? Like, were you excited about this? I felt like I had an absolute monster brewing. It just came out of nowhere.

And, you know, I'm known for my notoriously weak farts. I can never get them to do anything apart from just eek out. And I felt like this one was going to be a huge one. And it was pretty lackluster. It sounded like my anus wanted it back at the end. Like farter's regret? Yeah. If I had to put a visual representer on it,

it would be like maybe in Kill Bill where she digs out of the grave. It really did not... It was not intended to escape. So you, you didn't think it was very good. Oh, it was hilariously terrible.

I loved it. It was, I listen, I brought me a lot of joy. I laughed really hard at it, but it, as far as power goes, it is insane.

How, how little came out the fart never got out of second gear unfortunately and all I feel like you have a stomach full of air with the sleep happening or whatever machine I

feel like you should be cranking out bigger farts than that it's true yeah should we put it in should we cut it of course yeah absolutely we'll put it in? Yeah, of course. We'll play it in 3, 2, 1. Yeah. That sucked.

Can I tell you guys real fast that our podcast is making a difference and I have confirmation today. Oh wow, really? Yeah, I went out for lunch today. Specifically, I wanted to get an apple pie from mcdonald's to sell to have on the podcast um you know because i'm all about because i'm trying to because we're trying to bring a pie representation back we're trying to get it out there we're trying to we think that the world is sleeping on on fried pies and hand pies uh i went to mcdonald's today and they uh the lady you know i said i'll take a number one and an apple pie, please. And the lady said, I'm sorry, sir.

We are sold out of apple pies. Oh, no. We are sold out of all pies. That means we've activated the regulation, listeners and the comment leavers, and people are buying pies in such numbers that even my McDonald's is sold out. I don't think that means that, but...

Exactly what it means. I'm not sure about that. Maybe,'s is sold out. I don't think that means that, but exactly what it means. I'm not sure about that. Maybe, I don't know. How do we do this? How do we get the data? How do we get the votes? I guess we could ask the audience if they bought,

if you bought an apple pie because of the show recently. Put it in the comments. Yeah, we need to know. We need to know. We need to see the data. It's a big, I think it's too much of a coincidence. I

have not had any trouble getting apple pies for months and months and months, but the week after we mentioned it on the podcast, suddenly McDonald's doesn't have apple pies. I wonder if we have the same McDonald's apple pie because I think McDonald's kind of makes a bad apple pie of like the fast food apple pies.

What? I don't know what the other fast food apple pies are like Burger King has one that's better. A&W has one that's better. I haven't had that one. I feel like Americans really hate Burger King. They do. Well, it sucks, I think is probably the problem.

They fry the pie, which is, I think, a better experience than the baked pie. Fried pie? Like a deep fat fryer pie? Yeah, like a deep fryer pie. Wow. So it's crunchier as opposed to just a baked pie. Deep fat pie-er. Deep fat pie-er, exactly.

We should have a pie-off in some day soon. Fast food pie-off? The next time we need to do like in-person stuff maybe we should collect we should all go out and bring a different we oh here's what we do we all meet up but we all have different pies from different fast food restaurants and then we have a pie taste test and we'll give it all to andrew ahead of time so he can collect them as well or get his closest and then we can see who makes the best but they're different from place to place aren't they that's like saying like i meaners are different from place to place.

Like in Canada, I mean. I don't know. It depends. I'm not sure. Sometimes menu items are different. Sometimes they're the same for that stuff. I'm trying to think of other places that have apple pies. I don't know.

Does Taco Bell still do their little apple empanada thing, or they don't do that anymore? I don't know. Top Notch has apple pies. McDonald's has apple pies. Burger King has apple pies. I'm pretty sure. Oh, fuck.

Whataburger definitely does. I don't know about Wendy's. I'm going to look into it. Wendy's is frosty only, I'm pretty sure. Wendy's is frosty only? Is that what you said? As far as desserts go, yeah. Do they do anything outside of that?

Maybe not. I don't think so. Checkers has an apple pie. I don't think there's a Checkers or a Rally's here. You're probably right. Best Apple Pies. Does Lee's have an Apple Pie? Arby's has one.

Burger King, Popeye's, McDonald's. Yeah, there's a bunch. Oh, Popeye's has one? Apparently. I don't think I've had the Popeye's one. I haven't either. Gavin, you excited for this? I was trying to think about what happened with the one? Apparently. I don't think I've had the Popeyes one. I haven't either. Gavin, you excited for this? I was trying to think about what happened with the pies we made.

Did that thing turn out good? You haven't released that yet. I don't think. Yeah, I need to edit that. I finished the Krutoff. That should be out. Yeah, by the time this is out, Krutoff is out. So go check out our regulation podcast channel on YouTube and watch the Kru Toff

Church's has one oh my god Panda Express has one Taco Bell does have one Jeff isn't doing the podcast he's doing pies sorry pie cast I'll run a pie gauntlet I mean I'm totally down for this we just have to figure out the format in which we do this

but I do think our pie is pretty impressive so i'm excited to see when that video turns out i would just really think of all the people that i know in real life i could genuinely lure nick out of his house with breadcrumbs i feel like absolutely 100 that's probably true i think i could catch you in a trap i think i could put anything on the ground nick is the most handsome and gretelable of us all oh absolutely nick would 100 accidentally find a body thinking he was following a trail of condiment

it'd be all about it oh yeah handsomeel and Gretel in shorts it really it's a looney tune looney tunes ass fucking caper exactly right he just goes like oh that's it it's game over for this fucking guy Hansel and Gretel go missing because Nick's just eating the crumbs

he follows he follows it. It goes into an oven. He climbs in just like in the cartoon. Jeff, you're left-handed, right? Yeah, thanks for asking. And married? Yes, thanks for asking. Does your wedding ring go near your butthole?

That's such a good question. That's such a good question. That's such a good question. Because I'm not a ring guy, but Meg just got this aura ring thing that tracks her sleep and stuff. And I was like, oh, that looks cool. And I've never worn a ring, but I was wondering,

do you take off your ring to wipe? No, I don't. But I see what you're saying. It's definitely in the area but i mean with folded toilet paper it's between you and the poop like he's got it all over the ring i don't trust this at all because my knuckles are out sometimes i can't think of the last time i got poop on my hands in that way i did get poop all over my pants and my shirt and my shoes and two chairs today.

That was fun. It's got to be more hygienic. Playing in the backyard with the dog and I guess at some point I stepped on poop and then somehow I sat Indian style and it got everywhere. It just got everywhere. Oh God.

It just got everywhere. It just got everywhere. That's miserable. You sat cross-legged with your shoes on. I just had like my shoe, I just like, like my foot. It's hard to explain. I can take a picture. No thank you. Yeah, do it.

What do you mean no thank you? No, I'm good. Nah, let's see it. All right, so Gavin's poop boy. Got it. If I didn't want to hear about poop stories, there wouldn't be this podcast, I assume. It's not even hearing about it. I don't want to see the picture.

There's no poop in the picture. I didn't think he was taking a picture of the poo. I thought he was doing what he did. Like recreation. Why would I still have access to the poop I cleaned up five hours ago if you told me that you'd already taken pictures of the poop everywhere I totally would have believed you I'd have been like yeah of course you did no I didn't take any photos of the poop I wish I had now no I was sitting like that I'm saying I was sitting

like that on a chair and somehow I guess the poop everywhere. This is why I don't wear shoes in the house. That seems like a nightmare. That, yeah. That's a good call. You got a lot of nice fabric everywhere. That picture is loaded with fabric. That's upstairs fabric. It never made it upstairs.

Nice footrest, by the way. It was downstairs poop. Oh, my PlayStation footrest. Thank you. Wait, wait. Is it in the same place as it was before you moved? Yes. I put it back.

You put it back under your desk. I moved. It's where it goes. The place for everything is for every single place. I have it right here as a foot rest when I need it. And then if we ever do a PlayStation game I can break it out until then it gets used every day how many PlayStation 5's get used

every single day that's amazing he's got you there that's a good point I was in the lab this weekend oh hell yeah I don't know from what we did you guys know about it uh last episode I booked myself into a whole bunch of different things that i had no intention on going to to see if it would make

a difference in the nap game and let me tell you it it was fantastic it was one of the best weekends i've ever had i have a whole system for it now i'm calling it meet and sleep. They meet, I sleep. We have rules for the meet and sleep system. I post this in. So rule one for meet and sleep if you want to do this at home. No expectation of payment. I don't want them to lose money on my behalf. That would dampen

my enjoyment. Can't have that. Rule two. MySpace doesn't block someone from attending. You don't want to ruin someone else's opportunity to do a thing they're excited about. We're not trying to be selfish here. Rule three, must have at least six people

confirm going. I don't want a situation... That seems arbitrary. Where, well no, six is a group. You don't want it to be such a size that you not being there materially changes the event. Yeah. Like if you are 25% of the event,

you not being there is very noticeable. The more people, the less noticeable it is like the less play earlier. Exactly. Uh, rule four has to occur before 4 p.m. That's just a nap thing. If you want to have like a real deep nap post for it's going to fuck up your sleep schedule.

And then the last rule that I have, no movable chair situation. I don't want them physically moving chairs. I'm doing mainly outdoor things and I'm going to keep this up. I'm just going to apply to every outdoor event I could find. Double booked, triple booked on some. I just see it in my calendar. I get a little email the night before and I go, oh, it's going to be a good sleep day. So wait, you're booking multiple things at the same time?

I was booked for a walking group and a sketch group at the they overlapped. This still makes no sense to me. You know, you definitely can't make one anyway. It now, Andrew, Andrew, let me ask you a question.

Does having multiple like that, does it stack your enjoyment? It does because I, despite, you know how I, I come across this podcast. I take those things like showing up for things very seriously. I try to be responsible in that regard and being just a total asshole and not at all caring feels so good

it feels so rebellious in the lamest of ways but i'm getting a lot of enjoyment out of it and the naps are great they're so good what does it mean no movable chair you know like if it's in a coffee shop they might like got a space for you yeah like they have they've put a chair down under the assumption i would be there i don't want to in any way impact these people in a way they have to factor me in i think this is essentially how ted bundy got started what yeah you start you start little rebellious moves you get addicted to it you gotta you gotta just keep one-upping yourself and the next thing you know you're killing uh hitchhikers no there's

no one up i'm just enjoying the naps and the best part is all of these systems automate to auto automatically invite you to their next event so i'm getting invites to the next one i don't even have to go hunting for more I'm just locked into these groups I'm just hitting yes throw it back on my calendar what is the most double booked someone has ever been like could you essentially schedule a hundred things for 1 p.m. or Tuesday I absolutely could and then that makes me that's a great it could make me feel like a real poor guy I gotta pick pick. Listen, I'm in high demand on Saturday at 11 to 12. Sorry, I gotta

pick one of these. I gotta go. I got a hundred things at one. Oh, you know what I'm gonna do, though? Instead of one of these hundred things that people want me to be at, oh, I gotta sleep. I'm gonna have a nap instead. Oh. What a nap.

This, I didn't think think the best naps I would have before would be when I'd be in bed and I could hear someone mowing their lawn outside and just going past. Not me. I don't got to do that. I'm going to bed. This is great. This this tops that this is a new tier of nap. I thought, by the way, last week you explained that very well. And I was surprised by how many people in comments I saw

were confused by what was going on there. Did you get it the first time he explained it, though? Yeah, I did. Oh, why didn't you say anything? I did. I think I was the first person to jump in and be like, I got you, and I tried to help. That's why I came up with the idea for the book club.

I'm pretty sure you said nothing. Well, because I'm listening. So you were the first one to say something and also you didn't say anything because you were listening? I didn't say anything until I said something. That's how saying stuff works. I appreciate that he took the time to think and process

because that book club idea, it really, this wouldn't have happened without it. So this is a great innovation. I'm just saying, I thought you explained it pretty clear and I picked up on it. And then sure. Was it the most, uh, clear in the first 30 seconds of the explanation?

Maybe not, but that's preceded by the rest of the conversation. So it's like, I, people still had to go through that entire conversation and still come out, not understanding it, which I think is odd. I didn't interpret Eric not

understanding what I was saying by the information, but just that his brain does not work at all in that way and couldn't process the why as opposed to the point. The feeling just doesn't make sense to me. Yeah, understood what I was saying, but just doesn't at all feel that way.

A hundred percent. A lot of people did understand and did relate to it in the comments. But once again, I don't know if the regulation listeners are an accurate pool of the human race. They're saying 30% is blah, blah, blah, blah. You know what I mean? It's basically a bunch of us.

And I wouldn't put the five of us on a survey for anything and expect accurate results that's yeah actually i was against what you were saying until you framed it like that and now i'm completely on board oh no i'm putting yeah i'm putting us firmly in the same pool of people as the people listening obviously yeah i understood that but i meant like the concept of me taking a survey and somebody then interpreting that to have value to them. A terrible idea.

Yeah. That is not. Yeah. I've also, well, I was saying to you over text, I've taken maybe two naps. I want to create like the perfect nap recipe is what I want to do and float it by you. I think I could get you into a good nap position. See, we're back on the whole let me tuck you in sort of situation. You were having none of it for when I was doing it by you. I think I could get you into a good nap position. See, we're back on the whole let me tuck you in sort of situation.

You were having none of it for when I was doing it to you. No, I accepted it. If not, then I accept it now. I'm in. You're in? Let's help each other sleep. I'll help you sleep at night.

You help me sleep at 2 p.m. I would take it back even further. I would say that the best way to help Gavin sleep, take a nap, is to get him tuckered out. So I say this goes back to him cutting the lawn. Oh, wow. While being followed with the mister

so that we wear the little guy out so that when it's time to take a nap, he's more susceptible to sleep. And then you guys go into your... Yeah, I think this is a multi-tiered thing. So what kind of stuff would you put into my i don't what uh the recipe what would the recipe what would the recipe yeah what are the ingredients for my nap recipe oh i have to like really cater it to you i can save for me a new thing i've put

into the mix have have you guys heard of katie and orbie No. Yes. Katie... Eric with like the... That sounded like a negative yes. I can't... I mean, that just... That was a weird thing where it's just like, I haven't heard those two words together in well over a decade. Katie and Orby is an animated kid show, I think probably intended for preschoolers,

that I would get on TV as a kid and say, this is... No, this is not, no, I'm not watching this because it was just still images with narration. Um, and it was, it's incredibly dull, but I have found it to be a fantastic sleep tool recently.

It is on YouTube. Every episode of it, it's narrated by Leslie Nielsen and he does an amazing job with his narration. Was it to send kids to sleep, or was it to entertain them? No, it's like, it's supposed to be life lessons for kids, of like learning about saving money, was an episode I fell asleep to last night. I don't know how you can fall asleep to that,

and also say Leslie Nielsen did a good job. Well, because it's a very calming... It's like I'm just cozy. But the premise of being read a bed night story and then falling asleep. A bed night story? A sleep time

tale. Bed time? Bed night story? A nap time narrative. As some may say. Mother, may you read me a sleep time tale? I'm ready for my bed night story, mumsy. Bed time story, bed night tale. I'm a treasure cove of, what was it, trove?

What was the... They both work. Treasure cove. They both work. They're both accurate. i wonder if then because a still image with narration it potentially is just like an advanced powerpoint i wonder if i could make you the ultimate nap powerpoint i don't think that and i say this with uh respect i don't think you have the the the level of skill leslie nielsen has at this narration game.

That man is fake laughing in the most genuinely warm way I've ever heard. It is like a hug. It is a hug for Mike Gavin. Can you fake warm laugh real fast? No, that was the truth. I mean, I'm excited to hear the recording

because it didn't come through. Yeah, that's true. That was version one. Yeah, well, listen, Gavin's very talented. I believe in you, buddy. Absolutely. Incredibly talented. Undeniably.

I just don't know if your talent falls here. I don't know, man. He said PowerPoint, and I started to want to fall asleep. I think you might have something there. Well, that's what it... This show was intended to be a visual thing but it is so non-animated that it just plays entirely because none of the characters talk it's just leslie nielsen providing all of the voices gavin can you actually make that

sleep powerpoint and then can we release it as like a patreon exclusive or something yeah so i just try and or just like just i'll leave it to the public but just as like a patreon exclusive or something yeah should i just try and or just like just i'll leave it to the public but just as like a sleep official regulation sleep aid yeah i'll do that i'll just have to pick a really boring topic how about like taking a nap that's the topic explain the benefits of taking a nap why you should be why you should be drifting into rim sleep right now. I'm going to work on this. All the psychological and health benefits.

I can't wait to hear your product. There are a few recipe things that I'm excited about. I want to try to make a recipe, an ingredient list of a great cup of hot chocolate for you because you hate hot chocolate, and I think that's insane. Yeah. yeah i was saying to i mean jeff you you hate it on it you like black coffee that's i'm not i can't get you it's just not for you i don't think what i think i could get gavin well i like hot coat i like hot chocolate that's a totally different product oh you like hot chocolate yeah of course i'm not an asshole everybody likes hot chocolate? Yeah, of course. I'm not an asshole. Everybody likes hot chocolate, but like winter and camping, of course I like hot chocolate. I brought up yesterday that I want to get into hot chocolate the same way Eric is into coffee.

Because they're the same thing, essentially. Yeah, I remember. You shit on it. Yeah, you were shit talking. I didn't shit on it. Yeah, you did. No, I did it. I feel like we all dumped on it.

on it yeah you did no i did it i feel i feel like we all dumped on it and andrew took that as people not liking hot chocolate when it's really just insane to drink that much hot chocolate no i don't remember shitting on it at all i'd like to go back and check those tapes because i don't think i definitely did you if i if maybe i was piling on for comedy's sake but i got no issue with hot chocolate and i said I certainly didn't lead the charge. I remember Gavin being the one that was the most surprised and anti-hot chocolate. My argument is I don't see the point.

It's not caffeinated, so there's no reason to, you don't get energy from it. It's just a cup of hot sugar. I don't know when, it just sounds so much better on paper than it is to actually drink. Oh, it's delicious, first of all.

That's the point. Enjoyment, you sadist uh my second point is eric i didn't even consider it from that perspective i didn't think of it as a thing you drink multiple cups of a day necessarily as someone who doesn't drink coffee i don't think of it that way i was thinking more in line with like there are different types of chocolate and like milk and heating and like the the science behind making the cup i feel like could be very similar between the two you know what you're right i did shit on you i shit on you with the idea of replacing coffee with hot chocolate because of the multiple times a day thing i apologize i do like hot chocolate and i think i think what you're describing here makes sense i think what you're saying eric

totally is justified i just didn't even interpret like the cup to cup ratio. Yeah, I just think I think drinking two cups of hot chocolate a day is fucking ludicrous. Listen, morning and night, I can be sold. No more than two? Wake up,

kind of get your morning going, you're letting the dog out, you're making stuff happen, you make a hot cup of hot chocolate and sit down and catch up on your morning that's insane that's crazy that sounds like a great start to the day yeah i think a lot of the hatred came it was framed around eric having a second cup of afternoon coffee i think right was why we were talking about it no that was never i feel felt brought up at the time because i just am now processing oh i could see why i thought it was just you guys thought it was ridiculous because it was hot chocolate and i think that was led by

jeff saying that like hot chocolate is for kids or something that was your pile on i don't remember your exact wording it is for kids yeah everything you're saying we're agreeing with you're like well i don't think it's like that. We're going, no, it's like that. And you're like, well, it's like this other thing. And we're going, yeah, it's like that too. I mean, it's still yummy, but it is for kids. I'm going to get you a great nap, Gavin,

and a great cup of hot chocolate. I'm going to figure it out. You're going to love it. The hot chocolate could be a part of the nap. If it's got milk in it, it could help you go to sleep. It could. It's a good point. How are you going to do this, though?

Are you just going to give me a list? Because I assume I'm going to actually have to do this. Yeah, you're going to have to make it, but I'm going to come up with the recipe. I'm already thinking about dark chocolate percentages. You're a dark chocolate.

You're probably 80s, I'd say. Do you trust Gavin to make it and make it faithfully? I do. Yeah, absolutely. So you could say we could have, like, Nick or an independent arbiter do it. Oh, that's a good point.

I mean, I think that's a really strong point, but I think of all of us, I trust Gavin the most to be the most scientific and do it the right way. Yeah, he's a man of science. Yeah, the rest of us. I wouldn't want to do it. Jeff would fuck it up intentionally. Nick might fuck it up accidentally. That's how it feels i have more faith in nick than but i agree with you on the me and you point nick just wouldn't be in his kitchen because he'd be in a box with a stick next to it

he was supposed to be making it put a hamburger under a box He'd keep getting caught in all of Gavin's kitchen traps. You're about to celebrate the Celtics winning a championship. Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves. It would require a historic event that is unprecedented for them to win this. Yeah, has a team ever come back from 3-0? Well, let's not precedent something into existence here. It's not going to happen now. It's literally never happened. It's a lock.

I mean, it would be insane if it didn't. You're about to celebrate. But I wanted to just give a warning to people that were in my position this postseason of having a team that hasn't been in the playoffs for a long time. The last time Canucks were in a meaningful playoff position was prior to like TikTok and that or at least for me it was and uh it I I fucked up where I love when watching a playoff series hate watching and uh winning and then seeing the

other teams like subreddit and like content from it just being sad about the loss fuels me during these events it has backfired massively on tiktok because my algorithm now thinks i'm an oilers fan and i'm continuing to get oilers content and updates and it is haunting me they are in the finals now they're playing for the stanley cup the cocks were eliminated eliminated by them two rounds ago and i cannot stop getting these fucking oilers fans in my feed just talking about the game i hate it so be careful they're not winning no they're getting swept so it's it's kind of working but when they were doing good in the dallas series i was hating it you're right it has kind of come back around but it has only further put me

in the Oilers algorithm, and it's just not a thing I considered. When the Canucks were winning, I was like, ah, this is great. And now once they eliminated them, having to constantly see Oilers stuff on TikTok was not fun. So I just wanted to give a warning for those in a

similar position. Gotta be careful of things like TikTok and the algorithm. Maybe stick to Reddit. Are you heeding this warning, Gavin, for the Euros? Well, I've never used TikTok. It's coming home! Should we start getting together to watch England games? Yeah.

Let's do it. I'll watch England games with you, absolutely. Can we do it over Twitch or something? Or should we just do it as friends? Is this a hangout friends thing or a work thing? I'm sure you can't rebroadcast a football game, can you? Yeah, we definitely should not do that. We could just commentate while we watch it

and then people could be watching it as well. It's okay, Gavin. You just hold a controller in the corner. It's all good. We've seen this done. Like y'all did with the summer game. Well, yeah. Whatever.

I would like to do it either way. I think that'd be fun. If we can make it content, I'm up for it. How many games are they playing? When do they play? I think they play on Sunday. Sunday is the first game. What time is Sunday?

It's at 2 p.m. I can't do central time. I can't make that one. Are you? Oh, are you napping? Yeah, I got a book. I got a book club, a walk, and yeah. But there's a Thursday morning one is the next one on the 20th.

So maybe we can make something happen there. Can you make that entry? Yeah, I'm in for that. What time? I have a doctor's call that day. 11 a.m. Central time? Oh, I can make that. Let's do it. I was thinking about magazines. You know how a lot of really established, well-known magazines,

they have such brand confidence that they just cover up the name of the magazine? What if we started a magazine, but preload all the confidence in so that no one actually ever knows the name of our magazine? Oh. It would take maybe like 28 editions for you to finally figure out what the hell the magazine is called.

That's a funny idea. Maybe instead of like a full magazine, this could be a great way to bring the zines back into the fold yeah oh interesting just don't know the name of our zine that's that could i love it i think it's a great idea can you think we can get rihanna for the cover oh i hope so legally noally, no. Legally? Well, like, you know, like her. We could put Rihanna on a cover of Zine.

Whether she gave consent to that or not is another question. I just realized the audience is listening to this. The reason we're talking about Rihanna is because Gavin posted an image of Vogue magazine with Rihanna. With Rihanna on the, yes. image of Vogue magazine with Rihanna. With Rihanna on the, yes. For those listening, we put the stuff that we react to visually in the YouTube version. And also on the Instagram.

Although, I feel like Instagram done by Jeff, YouTube done by Nick, not always completely in sync. Not always matched up. Oh, not at all. Yeah, we're totally different people. Maybe a little bit of communication between those two branches of the regulation company. I think it's more fun this way because you we're totally different people. Maybe a little bit of communication between those two branches of the regulation company. I think it's more fun this way because you get like two different versions.

It's like how Taylor Swift has 34 versions of her new album. Different interpretations of an episode of a podcast. Yeah, you got to check it out because like, what did you miss? You got to watch the YouTube video. Now you listened and you looked at the Instagram, but now you got to go watch the YouTube video all the way through to see what's different. You know what I mean? And then check out, also check us out on Twitter where the worst four of the pictures get posted

because that's the limit on Twitter. I'm enjoying the gameplay as well. That is being inserted now to our videos that Jeff and Gavin have filmed. So it's been so much fun. A lot of fun to watch, like surprisingly fun to watch. None of mine have come out yet. I've been going for like Apple TV style screensavers where I'm flying over a city, but in a video

game. But I do crash the helicopter in GTA quite a lot. So I'm going to have to maybe edit around that. I've been trying to do as little work as possible. Everything's a single take for me. So whatever happens makes it in can you maybe do I don't know if either of you have any experience with

Microsoft Flight Simulator maybe a video flying somewhere to Deputy Indiana could be pretty good that's a great you should do that yeah you should do that I could try it I've never played Flight Sim I don't either that's a great idea, Andrew.

Fallout today would work. We were looking at that. It was pretty cool. Hey, do you remember a couple weeks, well, I guess it was last year, we went to Key West together and we took the ghost tour on the little bus?

Yeah, and Eric got cursed. Yeah, he got cursed. The ghosts and gravestones or whatever the fuck it's called uh well when we were in boston last weekend that company has a tour up there as well so we decided to take their uh ghost tour and it's the exact same like the exact same fucking thing except you know different ghosts um and by the way key west one was better no no no shade to the one in boston but uh something happened on that ghost tour that i have never experienced in my life i don't think and i can't believe and i don't and i and i'll never

understand we weren't able to get to the bottom of it and i'll never be able to get to the bottom of it and it just i it's been itching at the back of my head you know how they're like stay with the tour at all times don't get lost we had a grown woman 40s or 50s on the on the tour at all times. Don't get lost. We had a grown woman, 40s or 50s, on the tour with her husband, who we were just in the middle of walking on the Freedom Trail at some point, or whatever it's called. And the tour guide stops, and he's giving us a lecture about a building. And she walks up to him, and she just whispers into his ear mid-sentence like he's like mid-sentence and she walks up doesn't wait for him to stop talking and just starts talking to his ear and he looks he's like shocked and he listens

to her for a second and he goes uh i don't know what and then she just turns around and leaves what and then that and the husband's like honey and the lady's just gone she like crosses the street and is gone and the husband just is like i get it no i can explain this i don't think she did i got this okay she knew a blind side was coming so she whispered into her his ear about maybe changing the vote and he was not feeling it so then she used her leave tribal early advantage and she got out of there. That's what happened. It's possible. Cause what then happened is the husband's like,

uh, uh, and he goes and asks the guy and the guy's like, I don't know what she said to me. And he's like, I don't know. And he starts looking for her. And then the tour continues for 45 minutes or so. And then eventually,

or maybe a half hour, cause we had to go to a, uh, like a graveyard and stuff. And then we come back out and we get get on the bus, and then they go, I can't believe we're saying this. This never happened in the 12 years we've done a tour, but we can't find this woman, and we can't leave until we do.

So we all had to sit on the bus for another 20, 30 minutes. Oh, my God. While they found the lady. Like, with walkie-talkies, they hunted her down, and then she just got back on the bus and goes, sorry, everybody! Let's get back on the tour! And then we just took off. What was the husband doing this whole time? He was on

the bus. For some of it. What? Yeah, like they just didn't know what happened to her. She left her purse, didn't have her phone with her or anything, and I have no idea. I don't think it was the bathroom. It didn't seem like that, but she was gone for like an hour. And nobody knew where she was.

And the bus was in the same spot the entire time. So she could have found, you know what I mean? Like, she was off. She just like went rogue. And they had employees tracking her down. And the guy was literally, he had broke character for a second. It was like, we don't know what to do. Like, we have to find this woman.

And then, yeah, it was the weirdest fucking thing. and then the lady came back on happy as could be and like she was a little drunk maybe but i think everybody in the tour was you know except for me and so it's boston i think it's like in the air alcohol but uh but it was just the weirdest fucking thing and i got no explanation it wasn't addressed i ended up missing a boat ride back to my hotel so we ended up having to go a different way which was kind of annoying but like yeah it just never seen that happen somebody actually got lost on a tour and that what happens is the tour shuts down until they find that person and everybody is stuck what did the husband do when she came back i don't know

they were up front they were just like he apologized he couldn't work took off votes and the guy immediately goes back into his stick about whatever and yeah then everybody they drew rocks anyway that just popped into my head and I didn't mean to tell you guys the fucking weirdest thing should really draw rocks and more scenarios I agree it's so exciting like if there's an

extra extra seat on a plane and a bunch of people are waiting like in reserve they should have to solve that by drawing rocks there should be more ways in which rocks are pulled to determine things how do they determine that is it just whoever was first i assume it would be first yeah or if somebody has like a membership or something yeah i also think there should be more immunity idols in the world and you if you you should be able to find them and fucking use them I know you guys haven't watched this season of Survivor but god

damn this is the season and not a people not using immunity idols what do you think they're there for dumbass anyway it would be awesome if you could find one like at the grocery store and be like play the podium to play the podium this year but I mean like I'm immune from paying for these groceries.

I'm just going to walk out now. I'm immune from prosecution. I like that idea of like a city saying, listen, there's one idol somewhere within the city limits. Go find it. And then as soon as they find it, they have to rebury it out there somewhere. If there was such thing as an immunity bullet um would you have fired it yet oh shit what an interesting question yeah no matter what happens with the bullet no matter what the bullet hits you're not responsible it's a bullet gun right

like a it's not like a uh like it's a literal bullet and gun. It's a bullet. It's not like metaphorical fire. It can be a trumpet, but it can be just be a regular gun. I don't think so. No, I think I'd still have it. Because in Tales from the Borderlands, you have one bullet that you could use. And it's like, oh man, you only got one. Do you want to use it here?

And I kept saying no to the point where the characters eventually just found a box of bullets. So I never even got to use the bullet I was saving. So I think that would be me in real life. In Half-Life 2, Episode 1, I used it on a padlock. Would you, Gavin?

Would you have used your bullet already? No, I don't think so. I think I'd still have it in the old chamber. God, I bet I would have used mine before I hit 20. in the old chamber. God, I bet I would have used mine before I hit 20. How do you fucking hold on to that? Jesus Christ.

The second I found out about it, I'd go looking for something to do with it. I feel like Eric could also have used his. I was thinking about it. It feels like the knee jerk would be, yeah, I would have used it, but also I think I would be yeah i would have used it but also i think i would be too afraid to lose it so i would still have it it but it would be a thing that's constantly on me and i would learn how to like do tricks with like i would like roll it like around my knuckles and stuff uh keep it on a necklace or something yeah yeah yeah yeah so at any point like on the necklace

you know someone does something i kind of like lower my sunglasses and like point the bullet at them because then they know i'm gonna carve i'm gonna engrave the word immunity onto a gold a gold-plated bullet and just wear it as a necklace as a as a talking piece you're gonna be on the news if we were still working at rooster Teeth, I would have just suggested in this moment that we should sell immunity bullets. But now that we're not protected by Warner Brothers, I think it's a terrible idea. That's awful. Yeah, I don't want to do it.

But wouldn't it be funny if we were working for Rooster Teeth and we made Tony have to figure that out? It'd be so cool if it was like a Wild West style duel and like one bullet in the chamber, immunity bullet, the second one. So like, pa-pa! Killing the guy and then firing like one bullet in the chamber immunity bullet the second one So I'm like Papa killing the guy and then firing the immunity bullet to this be awesome I like when you want to kill the guy with the immunity bullet there, so you get in trouble no I don't know if I trust the integrity of the immunity bullet

I don't know if it's designed to kill is it a killable bullet the bullet I? Think I would want the guy to be definitely dead before I use the immunity bullet. What? So wait, you'd be immune from shooting his... the sky? What do you mean? No. You just wanna kill a guy. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Here, you're not getting this.

I think we have different understandings of how the protocol of the immunity bullet works. I was under the assumption you commit the thing and then you fire the bullet to clear yourself of what would be the way that it works. What the fuck are you talking about? Because hot chocolate, because it's fun to be like Yosemite Sam and fire a bullet into the air and be like, uh,

I'm immune. The only thing you're immune from is what the bullet lands on. Well, there are things I want to be immune for, potentially, that don't involve me shooting a thing. That's the limitation of this immunity bullet. That's why I asked. I specifically said this is literally a bullet being fired out of a gun, right? Because I had the same thought. If you shoot a window, you don't have to pay for the

replacement you're immune well that's i don't like the immunity bullet then because i want to like rob a bank no one gives a shit if you like it we're saying how would you use it if you use oh my god it's like you're kicking the lamp into the ocean because you don't trust the genie here's the deal andrew doesn't andrew doesn't want an immunity bullet he wants an immunity idol yeah that was that was really locked in on how like an idol works hey do you want to go to the corner store yeah let's drive no can i wanted you to carry me what are you talking about these are not you're crazy no it feels insane to have the power of an immunity, a full-on immunity, be locked in the requirements of a bullet. It's not the power of immunity. It's just a

one, it's just a bullet that you don't it is the bullet. No, but it's being legally recognized. This is a legally recognized immunity, so it has power. It is something we've agreed on. It has the power of the powder in the case. The rifling of the agreed on it has the power of the powder in the the case

the rifling of the barrel that's the power well wait did the city issue did the city issue these who's making the immunity bullet eric's already displayed how it has power outside of that like he walks around with it on a necklace pointing it at people scaring the shit out of them exactly got the power of intimidation for sure yes all right wait does my immunity bullet hold in a court of law yeah yeah yeah yeah okay well there's that's my point is like we've authorized a value to this bullet i think it's dumb that you have to fire it at the thing you're being immune for. What kind of immunity would you be after? Let's say, I don't know, you steal a car. I can't shoot the car.

You can shoot the window to get into it. Yeah, but I'm going to be tried. If I get caught stealing a car, my concern isn't the charge of damage on the vehicle. How about this? You can shoot the cop to get away. Don't worry about it. You're immune.

No, that doesn't work. I like the idea that you're annoyed that you'll only ever get charged for entering but not breaking. Yeah. get charged for entering but not breaking yeah yeah you were given like a genie wish and then you went i don't like this genie wish like it's so much cooler if it's like a flare like you just committed a crime or did something or maybe right maybe you don't even want to say here's your immunity flare he said here's a bullet you can fire out of a gun. Yeah, no questions asked, bullet. But saying that does not mean you have to fire the gun at the thing to make it immune.

But if you wanted to put down Christopher Reeve's horse with it, perfect. You're immune in the portal. Think of it this way, Andrew. You're immune from the consequences of firing the gun do you want it to be an immunity gun with one shot I don't understand why you guys are over

complicating this you do you commit the crime and then you say or doesn't even have to be a crime. You're having a dinner you burn all the steaks. You don't want to be responsible for it.

You fire the immunity bullet and everyone's like, oh, we can't be mad at him. No, that's an immunity idol you're describing. You're conflating two things. This is literally a bullet that fires and you're immune from the consequences of firing the bullet.

The gun. You're on the hook for the burnt steaks. You're only immune from the hole that you made in the ceiling. Okay, well then give me an immunity grill. Then I'm happy. Oh, Jesus. Give me some immunity grates and I'm good.

Immunity grates? So Andrew would turn down the immunity gun and bullet I'm never gonna use this bullet this bullet is bullshit this is a dumb bullet you don't have to use it then why do I have this

why am I designated a thing I'm never gonna use cause you can if you want to I have to get a gun no I need to get a gun listen we're not all in the to. I have to get a gun. No, I need to get a gun. Listen, we're not all in the fucking states. I have to file forms. I have to get approved.

I can't just go to Walmart. Nobody said immunity was easy. You made a bullet that you could fire that gives you instant immunity. Yeah, they've done. Gavin's done 99% of the work. All you gotta do is fill out a form. I don't have to buy a gun. He... Gavin handled the magic of the whole thing.

That's so much more complicated. Oh, wait, no, no, wait. I bumped into your vehicle. Step away for a minute. I need to fire at it, so I'm okay. Like, what is this? It doesn't cancel out

something you've already done. It is the thing that's happening. No, I got it. Christ alive. I got it. I don't know what to do. Are all movies filmed in the third person?

No, no, no. We have to end this episode. This is over. This is over. Save that. This is done. This end this episode. This is over. This is over. Save that. This is done. This is so fun. This is done.

This is done. We have to save it for the next one. This is it. Okay. I never want to talk about this again. I absolutely agree with you, Gavin.

Use your immunity bullet. Oh, man. I had a whole thing I wanted to talk about about ordering fast food at the airport, too. Write it down. Yeah. What's the deal to write it down. Yeah.

What's the deal? Wrap it up. Kind of. Yeah. Think about this. You know how when you order something at the like, let's say

at the airport, like say the Burger King everybody loves. Have you ever noticed how many times you look at the receipt between when you buy the thing and then they give you the food?

It's like your order 691. I bet I looked at that receipt 3,000 times when I was at the Chicago airport the other day. And I looked around and I realized everybody else does it too. Why do we constantly have to check the receipt? Is it because you haven't remembered your number enough and you keep looking at it?

I guess so. But you like, you would think three digits, you would remember it instantly. And you know it is, but I'm like 691. 691? 691. I think if it was a funny word, you would remember it instantly. And you know it is, but I'm like, 691. 691? 691. I think if it was a funny word, 691 would be a lot better. Do you think we should replace the numbering system with a word system?

Like, instead of getting 691, you get, like, quack? Yeah, or immunity bullet. I wouldn't need to look for my receiver number one. Let's just put in a fucking bullet. I like that. Because we're doing everything with bullets now. Let's just fire bullets everywhere. You use the bullet analogies all the time.

Yeah, but not in that way. You've always fired the bullet already. There's always nothing you can do about it. The missile's been sent. The clocks were fired. Alright, well thanks for listening.
