Starting point is 00:00:00 i wonder if andrew's gonna get in at exactly 12 o'clock with gavin well that should be i mean they're always a little early on that so it'll be in 12 seconds but it'll be a little sooner let's see 10 8 seconds then 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 wow okay uh do you want to just start or are we being pranked right now i i don't what's going on the blind side we can't we can't do a blind side we need an episode we need the episode
Starting point is 00:01:02 is this andrew Are you there? Sorry. Yeah, I got a call. I was going to jump in when Gavin jumped in to try to. That's what we thought. That's what we thought. Yeah. But he's not here.
Starting point is 00:01:13 FedEx called. I don't know where Gavin. He's eating some avocado toast. Last I heard. Oh, boy. Look who's barely on time. Oh, fuck. You are on time.
Starting point is 00:01:25 My mic wasn't working. Yeah, it's within a minute, right? So does that count? Yeah, you're on time. What did you need the extra 48 seconds for today? I was rebooting. Oh, classic reboot. Were you sweating?
Starting point is 00:01:37 I was sweating it. Yeah. And I wanted to do a little gag where I would join two seconds later so Eric could count to 60 and I just blew it. to do a little gag where I would join two seconds later so Eric could count 60 and I just blew it. I mean, we were counting because we assumed that Andrew was going to join at the same time you did and I figured you were going to like wait the two seconds and be exactly on time and then neither of you did that. So we just kind of sat here and went, well, is this a prank? I got a call from FedEx and we got chips in the mail, so I had to make sure. I had to make sure everything was okay.
Starting point is 00:02:07 I can't imagine that was them that fast. Yeah, I have no idea what the package is, but I hope it is. What an odd energy to begin this episode with. Oh, I feel great. Hello? Your energy off? Hello. You weren't on the odd side when we were all there
Starting point is 00:02:24 waiting where Gavin and Andrew were at the same time and what part of the bit we were in right now anyway hello and welcome to another episode of the face podcast my name is jeff ramsey with me as always andrew pantin and gavin free decided to go nickname list today and just go with the og names uh the ones that god and our parents gave us and uh and then also for me i guess a a judge because i changed my name uh this is episode 160 of volume 2 uh season 98 he didn't choose it though no but he could not let the judge just decide it well first off it was a she. She allowed me to have the name, though. I had to go to her and say, may I please have this name?
Starting point is 00:03:08 And then she said, yes. So she granted me the name. I see. I thought you were saying your new nickname is The Judge. I was very confused. Has God named anyone? Didn't he? If only there was a painting about it.
Starting point is 00:03:23 Yeah, I don't know. I didn't see. That part wasn't covered in a fresco, so a painting about it. Yeah, I don't know. I didn't see that part wasn't covered in a fresco. So I don't know. Yeah, I don't. I don't. You're still T-Bone, right? T-Bone's still like it's there.
Starting point is 00:03:33 I know you're not using it right now. Okay. I'm still T-Bone. I just didn't feel like it. It just didn't feel like a nickname episode. You got to keep the audience guessing. You got to keep you guys guessing, you know. Andrew tried to get us back in sync
Starting point is 00:03:45 before this started. He suggested a quick game of Halo right before we started. Did you guys play? No, because I was having breakfast, trying to stuff some breakfast down, so we opted for a little game of Hangman. We both don't know how to play Hangman, is what I was quickly established.
Starting point is 00:04:02 I think you're supposed to do a perimeter first. I don't think you're supposed to go straight to the body. No, I was drawing the frame. Oh, I thought that was my body. I thought I was already... Okay, never mind. I just misinterpreted. I immediately thought it was wordle is how I played it.
Starting point is 00:04:17 Gavin laid out the blank spots and I said shrimp and then there was confusion. But we got there. So who won hangman? he guessed it right it was it was crisps i you know i don't even view hangman as a winner i feel like it's a collaborative effort i feel like you either win or lose together if you get your body drawn hanging by the neck you've lost i think yeah yeah but i i don't know i view that as our body. I don't view it. I feel like you want me to win. Our body. I'm hanging us.
Starting point is 00:04:50 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You were. I remember. Gavin, do you remember when we used to work at Achievement Hunter and we did we did those hardcore shows like Hard monopoly where we played monopoly with real money do you think anybody's ever played hardcore hangman or it's just
Starting point is 00:05:10 yeah well according to adriel it'll be a tandem noose we would just both be through it yeah to save money i guess yeah oh absolutely it was really fucked up that you did that to us but i'm glad that you know i was able to figure out the word we're okay do you think that'll be one loop and both of our heads are through it would be like one rope with two loops i think one rope two loops for sure yeah i wonder if that exists first of all you think my head is gonna fit through a loop with your head there's no way my head needs its own loop. It needs a separate attachment. I think I've got a better chance of surviving
Starting point is 00:05:49 if I get hanged with you. Oh, yeah, for sure. Absolutely. Why do you think that? I don't know. I just feel like the physics of it probably wouldn't work out for the rope. So you think you'd live?
Starting point is 00:06:03 Ah, maybe. Although I think there's a lot to it. You've got to get the weight right when it comes to hanging people. And the distance. Because I think it's technically considered not very humane if your head comes off. I think it's technically considered not very humane. Yeah. If the rope breaks, do they have to let you go?
Starting point is 00:06:23 Isn't there like a three strikes rule where if it fails three times, they're just like, ah, you were destined for the future. You think there's a three strikes rule with hanging? I think so. Shit, man, the rope broke. Let's try it one more time, but you better be sure.
Starting point is 00:06:40 Ah, broke again. This is the last chance we have to fucking kill this guy. it's like you get a firing squad and the gun jams and they're like i guess you can go home i only brought one bullet i think if the if the rope is too long and you just land on the ground you should be able to we got a new hangman so let me let me posit this what if it is two nooses on either side of one rope what's the plural of noose noose i like what if i guess it would be kind of like this And then you just sort of like Oh it's like a tug of war Yeah that looks fun
Starting point is 00:07:28 Okay so what if it's at ground level And you just have to run in opposite directions And whoever dies first loses I don't You think it would like tighten As you ran the other way Absolutely it would tighten I don't know how you would tighten the other persons
Starting point is 00:07:44 Without tightening yours. That's the thing. The tougher dude wins, I guess. The tougher neck wins. Is that who you want to live? Tough neck? Yeah, you want tough neck. Yeah, this just sounds like hardcore tug of war,
Starting point is 00:07:59 to be honest. Yeah. That's exactly what it is. This is stupid. I mean, what's going to happen there? If the rope's long, two people are going to go full tilt in either direction and both people's necks will break. How long is the rope? Is it hundreds of yards of rope?
Starting point is 00:08:18 Is it just the longest rope? It's like a hundred meters of rope. That'd be the most terrifying sprint of your life. There's something really funny about the idea of like a summer intern executioner constantly fucking things up. Not tying the knots right, ordering too long of rope. What would your strategy be if you had a hundred yards of rope attached to your neck and then somebody else's neck on the other end. I'd just be chasing the other person, I think. Just try to stay up with them?
Starting point is 00:08:49 Yeah, just try to keep the slack there? Eventually try and catch up to them and maybe hook a bit of slack around their neck and just hang them manually? I think I would run to a stop sign and then I would wind myself around the stop sign to protect myself and then hope they don't notice and see if they just accidentally hang themselves trying to pull trying to pull so from from like a driver's
Starting point is 00:09:10 bystander perspective they're like stopping at the stop sign they see someone running with a rope around the neck running around stop like a human tetherball yeah yeah and then uh and then suddenly the rope goes taut and then they go flying and pull out the stop sign. That's probably what they're going to see. How hard is this person pulling? They're going to pull a stop sign out of the ground? That shit's in there with concrete. You don't know what the other person's done.
Starting point is 00:09:35 He might have gone and picked up a couple of dumbbells and jumped out of a window. You don't know what he's done. You think dumbbells would do it? Oh, what if you, like, hopped on somebody's car, like the hood of their car? Yeah, what if you hop in a city bus? It's almost like, it's the same idea of, like,
Starting point is 00:09:56 pulling your tooth out by, like, tying, like, a rope around it, but it's just escalated to the highest level. But you're pulling someone's neck out. I feel like if it was you and I, Gavin, This just escalated to the highest level. But you're pulling someone's neck out. I feel like if it was you and I, Gavin, I would just, we would, I'd have to, that's how our life now. That's just how we live.
Starting point is 00:10:15 I would be a hundred yards away from every slow-mo shoot in the woods somewhere. How long, how long do you think, like, let's say we did this as an experiment. How long do you think... Like, let's say we did this as an experiment. How long do you think you guys could peacefully coexist before one of you accidentally kills the other? I think until the first night of sleep. And then Andrew would have a dream about trials and lurch upright and hang me...
Starting point is 00:10:38 Yeah, but no, no, no. You'd be fine because you could tuck him in finally. Oh, and then he wouldn't be able to go anywhere. You could watch over him like you want to do. Or maybe he could be in the bath and I could be in the bed, and it would just be pretty peaceful. No, I don't want to be in the bath. I want to be in the bed.
Starting point is 00:10:53 Stop going in there, then. Well, I feel like I poorly explained. I was in the bath sleeping because it's literally the only place I could sleep with my lungs. There was nowhere else that I could sit upright and sleep. It was like a means to an end for you. Yeah, I've never chosen the bath as my preferred destination
Starting point is 00:11:12 for sleeping. It was literally the only place I could get sleep. I mean, for someone who sleeps in the bath as much as you, that's a crazy sentence. But I don't. I don't. It's not a regular occurrence. Sometimes'm not on purpose sometimes you know you just it happens but that's never the goal is that audio recording content
Starting point is 00:11:33 that you sent me i don't know is it my lungs are we talking about my lungs fucking brutal dude gavin played it for me oh yeah i don't i like look i'm all for putting everything out that people want to hear and everything and this is just going to create a fervor for people that want to hear i don't think anybody should hear that like i really truly don't think like i've thought about it many times since i heard it and it has made me go i wish i never heard that were you awake or asleep i was what do you mean when that was recorded? I was awake. I recorded it. That was just me trying to exhale. Dude, my lungs sounded like Chernobyl.
Starting point is 00:12:09 Like with the radiation counter. It sounded like... It sounded like Zoltar changing a tire. That's how I would equate it to it. If we're not going to play it, that's what it sounded like. Oh, man. Zoltar changing attire is such a great visual.
Starting point is 00:12:36 So how are the lugs? I mean, better. Getting better. Not as bad as they were. You're in the bed now, right? Yeah. Yeah, I am. Okay. Okay, good. For the most part. For the most part.
Starting point is 00:12:49 Does that mean you're still sleeping in the bathtub sometimes? If I really need to, yeah. But mostly I've been able to, like I'm kind of on the end of it now. It sucks. I got like pneumonia or like bronchitis on the tail end of having COVID. So it was, I was feeling better. And then honestly, it may have been your fault, Gavin. I was trying to track like what happened and you killed me with the cheese roll question. And I wondered if laughing that hard somehow opened myself up.
Starting point is 00:13:16 I was feeling better. It just gave you tuberculosis or something. Yeah, exactly. It was a consumption laugh. It was. But we're improving oh i'm glad because i was because that audio clip was awful oh it's not good imagine just that's your life this is living that we're not putting in decidedly no i i think it's not funny no it's not funny i never even considered this content i thought that was a weird question this is a funny podcast
Starting point is 00:13:44 that's not funny that's the goal i mean content. I thought that was a weird question. This is a funny podcast. That's not funny. That's the goal. I mean, you said that we open with suicide. That's how we started. Well, being hanged isn't suicide. Well, it very often is, Gavin. Going up to the gallows is not usually how people do it, I don't think. Right.
Starting point is 00:14:03 No, but I viewed it as you putting us in that situation with hangman you put it at the high stakes Sure, I just think I don't think yeah, all right. Can we talk about something else? That's terrible That isn't related to us give you quick pivot. I've been doing some research I'm not okay on my research, but we we got blindsided by you, Jeff. And we watched an episode of Mr. Belvedere in which Danny gets AIDS and has to deal with that. Well, he doesn't get AIDS in the episode. He already has it when the episode starts. He gets diagnosed with AIDS within the episode. Or at least we as the viewer learn about his diagnosis.
Starting point is 00:14:40 We're introduced to his diagnosis in the episode. So I was curious as looking at that person's IMDb, and I wondered if that is the worst thing that has happened to them as a character. Because their career is generally one-off episodes of sitcoms from that time. So I've been going through and I've been watching every appearance
Starting point is 00:14:59 they have made in order. I'm still, I'm only about halfway through. Let me tell you, they started in Chips. That as the first role they ever had was in ships they played a small child i believe was the role you don't even see their face the only thing that happens to them is they get run over by a bicycle in a park by a thief trying to escape that's how's how they started. And their balloon, they let go of their balloon and they cried. They're like, get the balloon!
Starting point is 00:15:28 Is this guy the Sean Bean of kid actors? Yeah, this is like, he's like the Star Trek red shirt of sitcoms. Yeah, so that was how they opened. The next thing I watched was Cagney and Lacey.
Starting point is 00:15:41 They had an episode in. Fucking love Cagney and Lacey. Thankfully, thankfully, nothing bad happened to them. However, they did witness their friend get abducted. They were a key witness in an abduction of their friend.
Starting point is 00:15:55 Next thing I watched was Alice. I don't really know what happened in Alice because I can only find an Italian version of the episode online. And I had to use YouTube Translate. Something about tortoises. I think everything was okay. I think he was just like living in the building, having a good time talking about turtles.
Starting point is 00:16:14 How did you not blindside us with the Italian version of Alice? We're not allowed to do a blindside, apparently. How the fuck is Alice subtitled into Italian? Why did Italy ever want that? It was, yeah, I don't know it was it was all in is it done yeah it was a dubbed Italian version of it and I had to watch YouTube generated subtitles
Starting point is 00:16:33 which I do not fully trust they kept talking about tortoises randomly um then uh they were in a V they're an episode of V I wasn't able I haven't watched that yet but I ended it with Silver Spoons. I guarantee you the V episode probably didn't go well for the kid. If you know that show at all, it's about lizard aliens that want to eat us.
Starting point is 00:16:54 Yeah. So I need to see that because I assume something terrible happened. But they were also on Silver Spoons. Once again, they're kind of a Dennis the Menace type character. And that one, they're having a good time. Everything's fun and all good. But they witnessed another child abduction. They are with another group of kids that one of them is abducted.
Starting point is 00:17:12 So not great. Is that everything? Is that like their entire body of work? No, I'm about halfway through. They have a few like they have a four episode run in General Hospital. There's probably like five or six other appearances. Before we watched that episode of Mr. Belvedere, I had no idea who that kid was.
Starting point is 00:17:34 I can't even picture him in my mind right now. But that kid managed to be in every great show in the 80s. If you tell me that kid was in Dukes of Hazzard or The A-Team, they should build a fucking monument to the kid. God damn, what a life. It's quite the run. It's been fun seeing, like, sitcoms that I'm aware of
Starting point is 00:17:54 but have never watched before and the fucking theme songs. Oh, yeah. They really, they went all in at that time on what a theme song should be. The 80s cared about the theme song. They really did. They did.
Starting point is 00:18:05 It was like they were all about making a great first impression, and they did it very well. Yeah. So that has been my update. That is not terrible news for them, not us. I'm glad you've gone the extra mile and researched this kid. I'm in awe of this kid. What's the actor's name again?
Starting point is 00:18:23 I believe Ian. Well, it's the they transgendered. So they go by Ina Fried now, but they were Ian Fried at the time. OK, got it. Dang, man. Yeah, they're actually like a really big tech journalist from what I could tell now. Like they have had a substantial career post that and my brief research of them. What an interesting life. i bet they've got
Starting point is 00:18:46 tons of crazy stories oh i imagine so i was expecting it was going to be sort of like trying to find somebody from mvp2 or whatever or it's just they know there's no digital footprint but i'd love to talk to him in your field and be like yeah be to tell me that you could be honest with me ricky schroeder was a prick right oh it must have been yeah with silver spoons was like is it just he's a rich kid is that the whole premise of that show yeah yeah he's a rich kid and he's got a race car bed and his dad's really cool and then he's got like his mom's dead maybe and his dad has like an assistant or like a co-worker or maybe a girlfriend who's really cool i think it was aaron gray and uh and then he just like he just like is a teenager that has issues and shit right eric just posted a description oh did he's ricky stratton is a spoiled rich kid who lives the life that many
Starting point is 00:19:38 kids dream of but he still suffers from the problems that many teens do yeah the tone of that is such of, like, rich people also have problems. Well, that was what the 80s was all about, right? Rich people also have problems. I remember an episode where he got broken up with by the girl he was in love with, and they played that song, Broken Wings,
Starting point is 00:19:59 you know, take these broken wings, and it was, like, fucking intense. I felt really bad for him. It was really depressing yeah i think that show shows how tv has changed so much where that was the thing that you wanted to see was somebody be rich it was like the early 2000s also yes like that continued through this is like look at these rich people and like they're just like there's rich and there's money and all this stuff and now you're just like these fucking people that's such a great point yeah but isn't that why stuff like like fresh prince worked because
Starting point is 00:20:27 because will wasn't from that environment like he was like the audience yes exactly exactly why brewster's millions was such a success too same kind of thing i bet you there's an interesting transition point of like silver spoons to fresh prince to like malcolm in the middle which is for me like what i view as like a sitcom growing up where it's just poor people. Very poor people. But they had that with like Roseanne. That's true. And it didn't get much poorer. I think
Starting point is 00:20:54 the Roseanne, the Connors were way poorer than the Malcolm in the Middle family I think. They were like really they were struggling. It was a big part of the show, right? They were struggling constantly. Yeah. And still finding the humor in life. Yep. it's such a shame that roseanne barr turned out to be wacky because that is such a good fucking show i still if i see it on i'll still catch like an old episode i'll still watch it and it still holds up it's one of those shows that like is always
Starting point is 00:21:18 gonna be good always gonna be funny do you remember when she sang the national anthem i was always surprised that someone with those political views would shit all over the national anthem that like is it not the crazy andrew do you know about this do you know i you're really i have no idea you're a sports guy and you don't and you haven't seen this i feel like roseanne bar is just a hole for me like i have zero point of reference really for anything wow okay i i mean don't feel like you got to watch the whole thing right now but you can just skip in about 15 seconds to the start of it and um this was in san diego when this happened so it was all
Starting point is 00:21:56 over the news constantly i remember like growing up and this was like the craziest. Oh, it was so bad. Was that how you got canceled back then? Well, I mean, like, no, because she just kept, it's not like it ended her. Oh, it didn't? No. No, it was a lot of controversy. It didn't do her any favors, but she kept going. There was no canceling back then.
Starting point is 00:22:28 No. Oh, okay. she kept going uh there was no canceling back then no okay you know there uh let me ask jeff if maybe you know is that is it better or worse than carl lewis's national anthem i was thinking about this the other day. I can't answer that. What was that one? It is... It's stunning. Like, people are booing Roseanne at Roseanne's. Carl Lewis sings this, and it is the basketball players, like, laughing at him openly.
Starting point is 00:23:03 It's so... It's so... Does he just botch it? Oh, it's so... It's just the... Oh, man. I forgot about this. Oh, it's so brutal.
Starting point is 00:23:18 Oh, man. Oh, it's so good. I think Carl Lewis's is more entertaining oh definitely definitely should we take both those clips and make them duet no
Starting point is 00:23:33 that was something I was talking to Andrew about recently I find it so strange that in non-international games the American national anthem is still sang at all games. What? Really? Is it really?
Starting point is 00:23:54 Well, like, it's like two basketball teams from America will sing the national anthem before they start. Yeah. Wait. Like, that's weird to me. Wait, what are you saying exactly? I think i don't follow exactly what you're saying it's for it's for other countries it's like if you play an international game both countries will sing the national anthem you're singing it to yourselves i like that it's
Starting point is 00:24:14 such a culture shock like the idea is that the anthem is supposed to be like a welcome to our country is how i is yeah like like if a premier league game like like Tottenham versus Arsenal they sang the British National Anthem you'd be like, wait, who's here? Who's this for? It's just different in culture. In America there is this thing called National Pride and I don't
Starting point is 00:24:36 know that it exists in the UK but most people are even in the turmoil political turmoil of our country right now and the division between, you know, the Democrats and the Republicans. People people have are proud to be from here. And it's it's considered like a showing of esprit de corps and unity to to do the national anthem in the it's even worse in the army. If it gets everyone all together, then I guess it works. Let me pose this gavin when you hear your national anthem you hear it it's typically in an
Starting point is 00:25:10 international setting or whatever yeah i'm gonna hear that and i'm gonna hear the italian one okay so do you feel pride for that national anthem like when you hear it or you're like you know like you feel something for it uh i mean i relate to i I guess. It's not a very good song though. Imagine hearing it so many times in your life that it means literally nothing to you. That's true. That is where I'm at with it. For me, it's definitely like, oh, something
Starting point is 00:25:38 of note is happening probably. I should look around and see what's going on. I guess I'm an outlier. I like it. It doesn't bother me at all. I will say the Army goes too far with it. There are movie theaters on Army bases for soldiers to go to the movies, just like a other normal person off base. And they play the fucking national anthem before the movies.
Starting point is 00:26:00 And you got to stand up and salute or put your hand on your heart and shit. And it's like, I'm just seeing Tommy boy. It's not even new. It's not even a new release. This is a dollar theater, you know, but you still got to, like that's where I'm like, all right, let's calm down. Is the national anthem more for the people that live in the country or for the people that are visiting the country as like an introductory?
Starting point is 00:26:23 I always assumed it was like a brief presentation for the visiting or for the you know the other country i'm just imagining like getting arrested in a foreign country and using the i didn't hear the national anthem as a defense i didn't i didn't know how the rules worked i didn't get the vibe of this place some countries have absolutely banger national anthems and i feel like oh what if the u.s and the uk don't qualify yeah i don't i don't feel great about oh canada uh yeah i would canada is probably the most boring one to me no offense i would put england would be least boring than america than canada in terms of our three countries oh wow yeah i can't necessarily argue that.
Starting point is 00:27:05 Although I feel like America has like three anthems, don't they? We got a song for everything. I feel like there's a lot of anthems. I feel like I hear you guys singing about different things at different times, and I get caught off guard occasionally. What do you mean? Well, there's the Star Spangled Banner one. That's the star i feel like there's the star spangled banner one and that's the national anthem right yeah but then i feel like i sometimes hear them singing a
Starting point is 00:27:30 different song america the beautiful america the yeah that uh fucking lee greenwood sang a song and now we got to hear that forever god bless america did you see either someone someone shat all over your theory of being born in the middle of the decade oh yeah i did see that and i actually saw a lot of people surprisingly coming to your defense so someone pointed out that uh being born in the middle of 1975 is not the middle of the decade technically the middle of the decade is midnight on the 31st of december 1974 but a lot of people and i never see this on the internet a lot of people chimed in and were like ah just let him have it man yeah no i agree just let me have it it's the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle i understand that it's not like the mathematical middle but it's
Starting point is 00:28:20 like but there's a narrative to how middle it is that I think is fun. I just found that so funny. Yeah, I thought it was pretty funny, too. I want to listen to every country song now. I'm going to look into that. I want to, because I did every state song. There's some bangers in there. That's what, God, I couldn't remember for the life of me what it is you did.
Starting point is 00:28:40 You just said, I want to do that. And I went, God, I swear he did this. I did the state songs. My favorite one, I think, is Rhode Island's song, because Rhode Island's song is that I've been to every state and they suck compared to this one. It's the only one that's like combative. So would you expect, Gavin, if, let's say,
Starting point is 00:28:59 the Los Angeles Dodgers were to play the Chicago Cubs, that they should play the California and Chicago State songs before the game? I'm more on board for that. I mean, that would make more sense. But just also, just crack on. Just play the game. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:18 It's not the final. What is... We dial it in a little too deep in america i think because like what the fuck is the the state song for that's like every i don't know if they do this in england but every high school in america has its own song too and you're supposed to like you grew up thinking like you're supposed to learn your high school song for some fucking reason and then you call then your college has a song and then your state has a song. Maybe it happens at the university level, but I never had a song for my school. I really like the idea that anytime any Chicago sports team plays,
Starting point is 00:29:50 they have to sing the Super Bowl shuffle as a representation of the state. I'm fully supportive of that. If they whatever, if we're doing state songs and we can move to that, I'm for that. I want to hear that every game. That is like every time the governor fucking gives a presentation and he has any kind of a press conference, they have to play Super Bowl shuffle first.
Starting point is 00:30:12 Jeff, do you remember your high school song? No, not at all. Not for, no, I can't, no. Do you remember yours, Eric? Yeah, yeah, it was just like a little, like it was just like a little like, probably like 10 line 9 12 line all right well let's hear it well i just remember that it we were the wolf pack that was our mascot
Starting point is 00:30:30 the west hills wolf pack um and we would talk about we're saying hi above the river valley stands a silver blue and black uh strong i think it was strong beside our alma mater we are one we are the pack this is the part that i remember all the time yeah so stan the silver stan the blue and stan the mighty black west hills forever our alma mater we are one we are the pack i remember that and i shouldn't i remember all of that that's good. Would that go before a sports game? Yeah. Or at like the end of like a rally or like a rally is kind of a maybe touchy term now. Maybe at the end of a presentation or like when they would like when they would have an assembly school assembly, you'd have to say it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:19 You jogged my memory. I don't remember all of mine, but I remember it ended with we love you daryl theodore because i went to theodore high school oh that's great yeah i think i think it's quite nice to have like a like a group sense i feel like every sports game i attended with my school just started with like a whistle blowing there was absolutely nothing is that everyone here all right crack on go home hey guys do you think we need an official F*** Face song? Similar to Eric's Wolfpack thing. Yeah, I like that idea.
Starting point is 00:31:52 Like the Pride of F*** Face? The Pride of F*** Face sounds great. I really like that. We have a title. Wherever you're going, you better believe American Express will be right there with you. Heading for adventure? We'll help you breeze through security. Meeting friends a world away?

Starting point is 00:32:15 Squeezing every drop out of the last day? How about a 4 p.m. late checkout? Just need a nice place to settle in? Enjoy a room upgrade. Wherever you go, we'll go together that's the powerful backing of american express visit amex.ca slash ymx benefits vary by card terms apply can i show you guys what they did to my high school field after this was after i graduated yeah oh it's blue it's oh blue it it looks So you see it from the top and you go, oh, okay. When you see it with people on it, it's fucking insane. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:32:56 That's hard on the eyes, dude. I don't know why they did it. It looks so bad. It's awesome. If I was squinting, I'd think I was at SeaWorld. Yeah. It's got to be discombobulating to try to catch a ball. What I've noticed is that American schools, they've got some budget, man.
Starting point is 00:33:14 They've got some bunts. Look at that. It's incredible. Yeah, big time. Big time. I'm not saying you're wrong, but you're looking at a blue field and going like, wow, they got money. I still wouldn't do that, I assume. Well, I bet it's like a...
Starting point is 00:33:29 I bet there's budget in British schools, but all of your buildings are like 7,000 years old, so they probably have to spend most of the budget just fixing shit and keeping them running, right? Like, nothing in America
Starting point is 00:33:39 is over 30 years old, so it doesn't, you know, everything's pretty brand new here. They got to print 20,000 towels at the end of every year. That money has to go somewhere. The tea towel budget? Yeah. Yeah, I think all
Starting point is 00:33:54 of our money goes to keeping the stuff upright and also keeping it looking old, which I think is really expensive. So stupid, but yeah, you're right. The cost of old. Tea towel budget. so stupid but yeah you're right the cost of old budget i'm glad i haven't thought about that in a while we still haven't made our tea towel yeah like we should that was something we wanted for rtx wasn't it that was an rtx idea about it yeah we ended up settling on the museum though
Starting point is 00:34:19 yeah museum sounds great yeah every time i hear anything about the museum, I had to go around my house taking pictures of fucking 8,000 dumb things next to a banana for that. That was your own doing. I know. Like the banana thing you just complained about, but you did that. Why is the best? That was the,
Starting point is 00:34:40 like the most common sense thing I had. Everybody knows how big a banana is. Yeah. Like if I put a cup, you'd be like, well, I don't know how many ounces is that cup? I don't know. I would. Yeah. Especially if you put a Gerplar down there, I would have no idea what to do.
Starting point is 00:34:52 Right. I'd assume everything was huge. Put a phone. Well, I'd be, I was gonna say put a phone down, but I'm using the phone to take the photos. So I can't. Yeah. You can't.
Starting point is 00:34:58 Yeah. My hands really were tied. Yeah. Even with the phone, maybe it's the XL version. I don't know. It's all sorts of different sizes. Very. It's very true a banana is a banana Now this was mine. I found it It was a field so I'd walk I'd walk out of the school
Starting point is 00:35:16 I'd walk through it between some trees. I'd cross a busy road and go through a gap in the hedge and we'd play there I mean it wasn looks like a field. And it wasn't blue. Yeah. Yeah. Didn't have any lines on it or anything, but... I mean, the photo... I don't know.
Starting point is 00:35:34 I feel like I'm looking at, like, a sea... Like, something horrible there is the vibe I get from that photo. You think that's horrible? Well, I just... I get the sense of, like, in a movie, you know, where, like, they show the top down of like
Starting point is 00:35:45 what's gonna get bombed or like what would something bad happen there that's how i feel when i look at that photo yeah you like you get down to ground level and there's just a little sign that says uh this plaque commemorates the 4 000 lost souls buried on this field yeah exactly that's kind of a shit field, Gavin. I'm not going to lie. It's green for a start. It's not even straight. They crookeded it. It's all fucked.
Starting point is 00:36:13 But at least it's not blue. I think that's the important thing. It also kind of looks like it's on an incline. I don't know if you can tell, the only feature of the field that would let you know it was an athletic field is that that thing in the bottom right that kind of looks like a big cigarette
Starting point is 00:36:27 that was a little like long jump pit. Oh that was a long, oh. Yeah it was just like a little bit of sand with a run up. Did you compete? I gave it a go. I was shit. I was crap at that. Long jump? Yeah people used to do triple jump. I never understood that. Just jump. Just jump once.
Starting point is 00:36:44 Yeah I don't know how that is more impressive. The triple jump. I never understood that. Just jump. Just jump once. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know how that is more impressive, the triple jump, as opposed to... I think this is my high school football field, but it jogs no memory, and it is unremarkable in every way. Wow. That's so proper.
Starting point is 00:37:01 That's nice. I'm pretty sure that's my high school football field. That looks at least community college level. Really? It's pretty. My high school was a prison. They built my high school to be a prison, but they built it on marshland,
Starting point is 00:37:17 and the foundation cracked in multiple places while they were constructing it, so they abandoned the idea of it being a prison, and it sat unused for a while and then they decided well let's convert it into a high school because it doesn't matter if they sink. Did it have like prison-y features? Yeah it was
Starting point is 00:37:34 not a welcoming place. At all. Let's talk. But it looks so nice. You got the logo in the middle of it. You got lines lines you got numbers a track field show you the fucking prison of my fucking high school here you go real welcoming that it fucking looks i think you could show that to people that live internationally that looks like a high school in a movie does it it really? It does. It's just a lot of fucking concrete and hallways.
Starting point is 00:38:07 I get what you're saying, but dude, that looks like a American high school, the movie, big time. Big time. Should we try and do a little face tour and record episodes from each of our schools? I don't want to go to my school. Fucking absolutely not. Because I feel like it would suck for the person whose school you're at, but it'd be so fascinating for everyone else. That's what happens when I Googled American high school,
Starting point is 00:38:32 and that's what came the first response. Much nicer. Oh, look, there's a place called American high school. Look at that. That looks like a prison. Yeah, never mind. I'm glad i didn't go to american high school let's know if you attended american what was it like oh is it as bad as it looks like that's surely not in the u.s i don't know well that's that's like a like an embassy style place right a different country. Is that your football field, Nick?
Starting point is 00:39:06 Yeah, that's my high school's football field. Damn. Street view. Looks better than when I went. The Google Street View. Yeah. Proper scoreboard is mental. Oh, what?
Starting point is 00:39:20 They have a scoreboard now? Yeah. That's what the front of my high school looked like. It was very like, here's the performing arts center. And that's it. There's nothing. And then everything else was just, here's the rest of the school, idiot. Didn't do it.
Starting point is 00:39:38 But it was like, it was like all outdoor. Like my whole high school was like, obviously we were inside for school, for classes, but like getting in between the buildings, we were all, it was all outdoor like the whole time. Really? It's a nice building though. It's Southern California, man. Like the thing that in the middle,
Starting point is 00:40:00 these wolves, these wolf statues. Oh, you had wolves in there. Oh. Wol wolves in the middle of the school that's like the high school where that's like the veronica mars high school dude that's fancy yeah well they shot the veronica mars was filmed at sdsu so like it's like the call like the college in san diego so how did you go to an all school, but you came away with rat and dog based personas? That's a great point. I think, I think wolves were shoved down my throat for such a long time that now
Starting point is 00:40:33 I'm pretty anti wolf. Yeah. I don't know that I'm like firmly anti wolf, but I would say that I'm in the camp. I'm pretty like wolf neutral at this point. Like they don't really do anything for me. I just go, look at that.
Starting point is 00:40:42 Look at these big dogs. Like they don't do anything for me. At your worst, were you anti-wolf? Like, have you rebounded from that or? In high school, pretty firmly anti-wolf.
Starting point is 00:40:52 So is this your high school, Gavin? Yeah, that was like the sixth form building. That looks like Hogwarts. You went to fucking, you went to Harry Potter school. Did you have servants in the high school?
Starting point is 00:41:04 No, but in there was the trophy cabinet where dan used to stand the dude he was a trophy case wanker yeah eric did the wolves have names no no we were just simply the wolf pack we were a collection of wolves um that i suppose shared a consciousness i I'm not really, again, I have never really thought that deeply about it, but. Was the rival school of the vampires? No, the rival school was Santana. And their mascot,
Starting point is 00:41:38 I don't know if this is what it is still. I assume it is because it's Santee, California and nothing changes. Their mascot is the Sultan. And it Sultan, and it looks like that. Oh. Yeah. It looks like the Akinator. It looks like he's going to guess who you're imagining.
Starting point is 00:41:58 It looks like Zoltar after he's changed the tire. And Zoltar realizing he needs to change the tire. He's real upset about it I wonder if corporate sponsors will ever sponsor high schools like they sponsor arenas like could you have the act like Akinator high I guess I mean I don't know why you couldn't right oh like into my high school field like your high school your high school you could be the Goodyear blimps okay Andrew wins for the
Starting point is 00:42:30 my high school field was great what could you get done there like a you can mow that lawn recess time get the weed whacker. Yeah. A good game of Frisbee back there. That's about it. You got Frisbee. You got mowing the lawn.
Starting point is 00:42:59 You can stand there and take a photo holding your fucking ray gun for your men in black costume. Oh, that's true. Yeah, that was a different yard. But yeah, you could do that. Could clean the birdbath. All sorts of things you could do in my high school field. You are very funny, Andrew. Nick said you could do the sewing machine.
Starting point is 00:43:14 No! I have never done the sewing machine on grass. I don't trust it. That's a purely concrete scenario. Did you have uniforms? Sure. Every day of the week at my school. No, no, I did not have a uniform.
Starting point is 00:43:42 Eric, did you? No, no, no, no. We were normal Southern California I mean, it might as well have been a uniform Of shorts and our Hurley t-shirt But no, it was not a mandated uniform Nick, I can all but guarantee You didn't have one, right?
Starting point is 00:43:56 No, that was definitely a public school I did work at a school uniform store, though Wait What? There's a store specifically For school uniforms? Oh, no, no, you're not given Oh No, no, you're not given your school uniform you have to like buy this stuff you'd about well I mean we we boy, but you wouldn't have to go to a store and buy it Yeah, they just store at the mall
Starting point is 00:44:22 You worked at the mall Not even at the school? Yeah, it was at the mall. You worked at the mall? Did we know that? I don't think so. I forgot. No.
Starting point is 00:44:30 All these stories about all these times. I want to invent a show where we hang out at the mall. We've talked about wanting to all work at the mall together. You never mentioned that you worked at a literal mall? You didn't draft the school uniform story? That's a good point. think i messed up maybe it wasn't good what was it like working at the school uniform store in the mall uh it was weird so it was like a catholic school uniform store and uh it's so specific they only sold like specific like for specific schools and they had different age ranges and they had like jumpers for certain ages and then like a wide variety of like uh
Starting point is 00:45:11 skirts shirts and then like those khaki pants so if you wanted to you could buy a uniform for for the of the wrong school and wear it to the school you're going to i imagine they frown upon it but yeah you totally could like you didn't check you didn't check somebody's school ID when you sold them a t-shirt or anything? No, we had like a binder with like a reference page, and we're just like, what school do you go to? And they're like, yeah, what size? Like, okay, here you go. Take a look at this.
Starting point is 00:45:37 And you're mostly dealing with parents, but sometimes it's kids that are like, this sucks. So it was a weird job. Is it all, like, are you guys maintaining the stock for all the schools or is that something that like you put an order in and then they come pick it up in two weeks uh we're maintaining stock so it's like something you always kind of cycle through um most of the time though i was on the floor i didn't deal so much with the the other money thing it was uh i worked at a Hollister that I hated, and the person I was dating at the time was like, you want a job at this uniform store? And so I worked, oh, so that's two places in the mall.
Starting point is 00:46:16 Jeff, I'm sorry. What the hell? Hollister doesn't exist outside of the mall. I forgot, I'm sorry. What made it so you hated Hollister so much that you were gonna go to, like, it's Hollister. Uh, it smells funny in there and the music sucks. What is Hollister? It's like a dickhead clothing store.
Starting point is 00:46:35 Yeah. Okay. And you feel like a dickhead, exactly. The music sucks. So you went from dickhead clothing store to selling school clothes? To religious dickhead clothing store to selling school clothes? To religious dickhead clothing store. Yeah. I would have definitely bought outfits at different schools, and I would have felt real sneaky about that.
Starting point is 00:46:50 Absolutely. I would have felt like a secret agent. Slipped through those holes undetected. Once again, sneaky. That's a sneaky move by me. I had a friend in high school who, anytime you quit your job, it was known he wanted to buy your work shirt. So my friend quit working at Eckers Drug, and he was like, I'll give you $10 for your work shirt so like my friend quit working at ecker's drug and he would like i'll give you 10 bucks for your work shirt don't turn it in
Starting point is 00:47:09 and he would just like collect them he had shirts like collared shirts from like every pharmacy and grocery store or wherever you had them in our area and i never knew what he wanted to do i always assumed he had like a plan with them. Was his name Agent 47? No, his name was Brian. But I always assumed he would like sneak in and steal stock or something, but I don't know. Or he might have just thought it was really cool to pretend like he worked at a 7-Eleven.
Starting point is 00:47:36 I'm imagining going into Brian's house and seeing like the 7-Eleven shirt framed and being like, yeah, this is Game Worn right here. Game Worn 2003, 2004, 7-Eleven shirt framed and being like, yeah, this is game worn right here. Game worn 2003, 2004, 7-Eleven. I wonder which work shirt gets you the most access. Right? I think like a FedEx shirt.
Starting point is 00:47:53 You could walk into any building. Oh, that's a good one. That is a good one. FedEx UPS. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, maybe UPS. My brain immediately answered president,
Starting point is 00:48:03 but that's a terrible answer. It's not. It's just like a suit, I guess. I'd love it answered president, but that's a terrible answer. It's not. It's just like a suit, I guess. I'd love it if the president had to wear a uniform. Like he had to dress like Uncle Sam every day. He had to go to the mall to the president's store to get his outfit. He just gets one visitor every four years.
Starting point is 00:48:23 Oh, man. That's so funny. Fake work or fork? What is that, Nick? My friend created this thing that he called FERC, which is fake work. And his parents made him get a job in high school. And he worked at a Schlotzky's. But what he would do is he would put on his uniform.
Starting point is 00:48:44 He'd tell his parents he was going to work. He'd drive his car to the Schlotzky's, but what he would do is he would put on his uniform. He'd tell his parents he was going to work. He'd drive his car to the Schlotzky's, leave it, and then have someone else pick him up. And he would go and do whatever throughout the day. Then he'd go back in his car and come home. And he thought he was getting away with it for a long time. And then his dad went through the drive-through one day. It was like, is so-and-so here? And they're like, who? that's amazing that's classic like empty briefcase style of uh going somewhere every day
Starting point is 00:49:15 that's fucking awesome what was he doing about not having money uh he just he he's literally the same guy i went on a trip with him to vegas this will tell you how he is with his money and on the first day he's like he brought a certain amount of money and he told me he lost it all in the airport casino before he even left and he just he just bummed off of us the rest of the trip and then on the last day, I don't know where he got this money from too, he was all the way up on not craps what's the other one with the spinny
Starting point is 00:49:51 roulette wheel. Roulette. And he was up like a thousand bucks. I have no idea where he got the money to even put down the money. And then I was like, oh, that's great. We should go. He's like, just one more, just one more. And then he lost it all. So that'll tell you. I like that he fell at the first hurdle of Vegas. And that's why they had to sell Empire Records.
Starting point is 00:50:12 That's a shame. And Schlossky's went under. I love the idea of, of firking. I wonder if there's any firkers in the, in the, in the regulation listeners. Dude, you've been firking for like 18 years. What? What do you mean? You just play with cameras
Starting point is 00:50:34 and video games. That's not a real job. That's fair. We're all firkers. Somehow it's hard work though. I don't know how. No, I know. I'm kidding.
Starting point is 00:50:42 It's really tiring. Gav, for the record and for the audience, Gav, you're the hardest working person I've ever met in my life. I don't know how. No, I know. I'm kidding. It's really tiring. For the record, and for the audience, you're the hardest working person I've ever met in my life. I feel like we're all out there. Yeah. Well, yeah. I know someone who did a Nick-like approach with his friend, but they lost their job,
Starting point is 00:50:57 and they were too scared to tell their parents, and they lived at home. And so they spent the next three and a half weeks spending their working hours at the library they would they would drive out and they just park and they'd hide at the library so they figured that that'd be one spot where they wouldn't be discovered
Starting point is 00:51:12 it's tragic very tragic also just like why just say I couldn't spend three consecutive weeks at the library from open to close like an eight hour shift this is terrible I mean unless you were using the library to find a job I don't
Starting point is 00:51:29 know if they were I think they were just hiding I think it was purely a hide move it's like a morning period where would you hide Andrea if you say your occupation was to run marathons for us where would you hide, Andrew, if you, like, say your occupation was to run marathons for us. Where would you go instead? And I need to present that I'm running marathons? I'm trying to figure out.
Starting point is 00:51:57 We'll say you were going out training for marathons, but clearly you're not going to go and do that. Yeah. Okay, where would I hide? gonna go and do that yeah okay where would i hide yeah um i'm trying to think of like what's uh uh um maybe like the movie theater but you might you might go there yeah i think a movie theater is good so you'd have to only see movies you know gavin doesn't want to see yeah anything that's just in regular motion i think Or maybe things with slow motion. Maybe you don't want to see slow motion after all the slow motion you see. Huh.
Starting point is 00:52:32 The mall is not a great place. I'll find you immediately. I skipped school one time and I encountered a teacher at the mall. That wasn't good. I would be right up your ass if you were trying to hide from me. Oh, you would. Yeah. No, I couldn't hide from you at the mall. There wasn't good. I would be right up your ass if you were trying to hide. Oh, you would, yeah. No, I couldn't hide from you at the mall. There's no way. Well, I feel like certain stores, I don't think you're going to the GameStop.
Starting point is 00:52:52 I think there's certain places where I feel pretty safe to avoid you. You're right up, staying pretty fucking far away from GameStop. What if we just did it, like, right in front of everyone's faces? What if we opened a store called The Hiding Spot, and it doesn't really sell anything, it's just where people can go if they want to be somewhere but i don't think anyone would ever go in there unless they were hiding from something that's an interesting atmosphere though a bunch of people
Starting point is 00:53:13 hiding from something it's like the money uh laundromat it's obvious yeah it could just be full of like almost like little oh you know it could almost be like it could almost be like uh in a cubicles in an office with just like little chairs and then when you sit down and they're not tall walls but you sit down then you can't make eye contact with anybody else you can't see them and then you can just kind of like play on your phone and pretend like the world doesn't exist you walk in it would just be a bunch of people pretending to be working. Yeah, it would look like office space. I love that.
Starting point is 00:53:49 I do too. We all put in our crisps order, didn't we? Our chips. Yeah, we were going to record that today, but well, I don't have mine yet, so they clearly didn't get it in time. I found it extremely difficult to pare down to four so hard i i did too and i um i had to take a stance i because you know we were talking ahead of time about like what what constitutes a chip like what would be appropriate
Starting point is 00:54:18 and we agreed that corn snacks would work uh stuff like cheetos would be allowed. And that makes it really hard. I don't know about your countries, but it makes it really hard in America because there's just so much variety of that kind of stuff. And so I decided that I was going to stick to the letter of the word and I only picked potato chips. So I don't know that I picked the four best across that broad spectrum that we had allowed but I definitely think I'd build the four potato chips specifically are we filming that on an office day yeah I think so yes I think so at the at the office yeah that's uh yeah I guess so I guess so yeah because we have other stuff we have to do are we not doing that stuff in person yeah let's do it which stuff the well chip stuff doesn't
Starting point is 00:55:07 necessarily need to be but the other things that are planned the you made a very good consideration of we still need to do the stinky porta potty thing yeah but eric didn't want it to be done until post rtx because people are going to be in there but i was voted down so so if it smells you know who to blame. Yeah, don't. I mean, certainly not me, because I've made my point, and I was told, get a bucket. If anything, it gives people a much more authentic experience. I don't think that's what people want.
Starting point is 00:55:36 I don't think people like it. Like, one of the things in the face museum is just a whiff. I love that. You stick your head in a box and get a whiff. Nick's going to throw up. Can we ask Wes to make a whiff box for us? Just like in the Huff Zone? I mean, like, the porta potty's going to be the fucking whiff box, dude.
Starting point is 00:56:01 Yeah. We don't have to make anything. We're going to make it on Wednesday. What if it's in the hole? What if it's in the shitter hole? The whiff box, dude. We don't have to make anything. We're gonna make it on Wednesday. What if it's in the hole? What if it's in the shitter hole? The whiff zone. You just put it in there. You gotta stick your head in the shitter hole. You gotta stick your head in the shitter hole
Starting point is 00:56:16 to go to the whiff zone. I don't wanna do that to people. Let's do that. The whiff zone is optional. You don't have to, but if you wanna enter the whiff zone is optional. You don't have to, but if you want to enter the whiff zone, you know where to go.
Starting point is 00:56:28 You don't have to ram your head in the Huff books. Hey, did we include the porta potty in the museum? I don't know if we wrote that down, but I always assume. There's no way that it's not there.
Starting point is 00:56:39 The museum should be built around it. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it is. I'll double check and then someone will go, well, no, it's not. And then it will it will be don't worry now that's been spoken into the universe so just did you did you take a picture of it next to a ruler eric i don't know i know because it's in a place that's at the office that they have access to yeah so no one had to take a
Starting point is 00:57:00 picture with a banana next to the port-a-potty. So, Eric wants us to wrap up. He wants us to stop talking. How did you guys feel recording on a Friday? Different vibe. Different vibe, right? I was a little, I felt a little thrown at the beginning. It just felt like, I did feel a little off my game. Do you, well, everyone was late.
Starting point is 00:57:20 Yeah, do you blame that on Friday, or do you blame that on Dan panicking? I think it's a little bit of both. Yeah, because I had all my nervous energy still yesterday. Yeah, do you blame that on Friday or do you blame that on Gavin panicking? I think it's a little bit of both. Because I had all my nervous energy still yesterday. Yeah, I didn't know what to do myself. I was all hopped up and then I got kind of tired. Then now today I have less energy because I freaked out about it yesterday. I couldn't spend the hyped up energy where I needed to.
Starting point is 00:57:41 Gavin? I think it was a double play if we're recording earlier and a Friday. I think both things come together. Yeah, interesting. Gavin and I hung out socially the other play. We're recording earlier and a Friday. I think both things come to effect. Yeah, interesting. Gavin and I hung out socially the other day. It was really nice. It was good to see you. That's great.
Starting point is 00:57:50 What did you two do? We went to this bar. I don't drink, of course, but we went to this bar and met with two other friends of ours, Nick and Jason Saldana. And we just... We recreated a photo
Starting point is 00:58:03 that I'd taken 18 years earlier oh yeah do you want to put that do you have that should i put that in yeah sure okay it was cute yeah if you historically uh within the context of rooster teeth jason is one of the guys that was uh helped create rooster teeth and red versus blue and then his brother Nick also exists. His brother Nick actually hooked me up. He gave me a name for something. Oh. Related to F*** Face or just in general?
Starting point is 00:58:36 Just in general for like a different project. But I was explaining a project to him and he threw out a name and I'm definitely going to use that name now. So this is from the day I met Jeff. I'd met Jeff like an hour ago at this point in this photo. And that's Jason with him. And I think Nick is actually in the mirror.
Starting point is 00:58:52 You can see a picture of him. Yeah, he is. And then, so that was 2005 and this is 2023. I gotta say, I'm impressed with the hand, Jeff, because that is a very specific gesture you have. We took a few takes. Gavin loves to retake a photo after a long period of time. I think it's funny. It's one of the things that I love about you.
Starting point is 00:59:19 You're always on top of that. Something about people aging is so interesting to me. It's so weird to look at a picture of myself 20 years ago and be like, oh, gee. Because you don't notice any of it happening at the time. And you're just like, oof, yikes. But I think both of you look pretty good. Thanks, man.
Starting point is 00:59:37 We should do that again in... Another 18? 18 more years. 18 more years, yeah. That's a long time, dude. 18 years. That's a lot time, dude. 18 years. That's a lot of time. I like that in the first picture,
Starting point is 00:59:48 I'd known you an hour, and in the second picture, I've known you 18 years. Your finger looks the same, though. I gotta say. It does. I didn't even notice your finger. Yeah, I'm pointing at Jason for some reason.
Starting point is 01:00:00 You can see there's... Most of my tattoos are still there back then. At least visible ones, except for my hand stuff. Yeah, you've had it a few months. That's crazy. I guess we should probably shoot this one in the back of the head. You're going to kill this one? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:20 Tie a couple of nooses around his neck. I learned something. Gavin, you run west. I'm going gonna run east okay oh shit i can only go north what'd you learn i learned that i don't know what scalping is just to rehash that i i clearly i thought i saw a lot of people being like i was scalping with my idea and i really didn't think it was and then i realized no no it is what did you think i didn't know scalping with i think i
Starting point is 01:00:47 thought scalping was like going above market value because you wanted to like i understood like the second hand market price like i thought intent yeah like i thought intent mattered but like on the surface where i was like i'm buying tickets for a thing I never plan on attending and I'm selling them for whatever the markup price of I'm just scalping that's a bad idea do not do that so when all of us went you mean scalping like that wasn't a hint that wasn't a clue
Starting point is 01:01:15 no I had to you know think about it I would intent marinate anything you think that it's insane that's so crazy that was my processing was i'm not scalping because i'm not trying to rip people off i'm just i'm just selling at what the the secondhand market is but then i realized the secondhand market is literally the most you can get above the prize yeah it's the scalping market scalping god yeah no exactly i'm saying
Starting point is 01:01:42 i didn't know and i know now. I learned. Not scalping, I'm reselling. Yeah, that's what I thought. You were further off than I was about being born in the middle of the 70s. Okay, we... I love that so much.
Starting point is 01:02:01 I love it when we admit that we have a fundamental misunderstanding about something. Oh, yeah. That's the best. Well, here's the thing. We're too stupid to hide it, right? Yeah. Like, none of us are smart enough
Starting point is 01:02:15 to dig our way out of a hole. You might as well just embrace the dirt. I wish I knew all the things that are common knowledge that I don't know. That's the problem. Like, Gavin taught me recently that my keyboard had a second enter button on it. I had no idea. I would have never found that.
Starting point is 01:02:30 I wish. Honestly, the second I land in Vancouver, we're sitting down and we're learning the keyboard. I'm going to run you through every freaking button on that thing. You're going to come away a much more efficient man. Mario taught me how to type, okay? I got a Mario accreditation. He was an idiot, apparently. He was incompetent.
Starting point is 01:02:59 Actually, it's a kind of funny supplemental content of YouTube teaching me key by key. Oh, don't worry. I'll definitely film it. I can't wait to see you guys next week. Are we doing another episode next week? And we've got Office Day. And we have Office Day next week as well. It's going to be an eventful f*** face week next week.
Starting point is 01:03:16 We're going to top up our supplementals. I am very excited about both. I didn't even get to mention it, but I've been riding my bike every day again to get back. Because of Eric, honestly. I was complaining to Eric about how much I don't like to run or lift weights, and he was like, just ride your bike. When you rode your bike, you were fine.
Starting point is 01:03:32 And I was like, yeah, he's got a good point. So I've been riding my bike 22 miles every morning, and I've been doing it like 6 or 7 in the morning. And so I've discovered that the world is different. Even the bike paths and the parks are different at six and 7 a.m. So I have a few observations that I- I just want to point out, we do need to end,
Starting point is 01:03:51 but I do want to point out that Jeff made me sound exacerbated from go and that is not how the conversation went. He did an impression of me at the end of the conversation where he kept telling me how, no, he's going to run. And so that was me at the end of the conversation yeah it was the important part I just want to clarify
Starting point is 01:04:10 okay end this now I've also been putting off constructing the scoops the ice cream gloves because I felt like we could potentially do that in person I think that's a great idea so next week we could eat chips do the gloves,
Starting point is 01:04:27 and smell the Sommstrom. Yep. That's going to be a hell of a day. I can't wait. I'm so excited. I'm excited too. I wonder what else we can cram in there. Well, the only way to find out is to end this so that way time can move forward
Starting point is 01:04:38 and we can get there. By the way, how are we getting Andrew in? By the way. By the way what? How are we getting Andrew piped into the stink potty experience? Well, we can talk about that. We can talk about that as soon as we end this episode. OK, I can't.
Starting point is 01:04:52 I have to go after this. My mom's in town. I literally came from the airport to pick her up here to record this episode. Now I haven't even really talked to her yet. Wrap up. So you can spend time with her. Tell you what I said. Oh, dude, you know what?
Starting point is 01:05:03 She got me for my birthday. This sucks. What did she get you she just gave it to me right before we came in you remember when I told you that
Starting point is 01:05:08 guys that story about the Toonieville choo choo that I had it was like I think it was the cover of one of the
Starting point is 01:05:13 oh that plastic thing yeah that I had a kid that played the little music records that were so fucking loud and obnoxious my mom got me
Starting point is 01:05:20 one for my birthday I'm so glad that that I was gonna do that and I changed I didn't do that you almost ended up with two of them I took a oh dude I was going to do that and I changed. I didn't do that. You almost ended up with two of them. Dude, I would love to have two of them. I could have them race.
Starting point is 01:05:31 Yeah, I just hold on a second. I know Eric is excited about this and he wants me to send the photo. Yeah, we got to see this Toonyville situation. I hit the wrong thing. Eric has moved into end show chat. I don't think I described at the time when I posted my back. I was homeschooled that was that joke
Starting point is 01:05:47 I don't think that was ever vocalized for oh I knew Was that the actual the actual place? Yeah? That was my back at the time of high school It's really good. I don't know why but first hold on let me do it this way. Oh, we're having our time to Neville Yeah, I just... Alright, here we go. Can I send this? Is it too big? Do we need nitro? Is nitro back?
Starting point is 01:06:11 Let me see if I can do it this way. Discord's being a pain in the face. There we go. Oh. It looks fucking brand new. Oh! How great that is. That looks so nice. It's a little different than I remember. The little music discs you put in the top,
Starting point is 01:06:28 there's four of them. I didn't remember, but there's a different song on each side. It's like a full album. You have eight songs with this thing. That's awesome. Is it as loud as you remember? No, it's not super loud.
Starting point is 01:06:40 My mom said that this one is not as loud as previous ones. But maybe I changed the batteries out. Maybe they get louder or something. loud. My mom said that this one is not as loud as previous ones. But maybe I changed the batteries up. Maybe they get louder or something. Anyway, thanks for listening to another episode of the F*** Face Podcast. This was episode 160 of Volume 2 of
Starting point is 01:06:56 Season 98. Please don't forget, it is the summer of 98. We don't know what that means, but we are embracing it. Additionally, RTX is coming. That's also a summer thing. And we want you to come out and enjoy it with us here in Austin, Texas, July 7th through the 9th. That includes the 8th. It's not the 7th, 9th. That would be weird.

I don't know what your preference is, but I know that it has an option for you to rate a podcast to let them know how much you like it. It helps us believe it or not. And then also people like words, so reviews are
Starting point is 01:07:51 also appreciated. And that'll do it for this episode of... Oh no. F*** face. I didn't hit record. You're a liar. You're a liar. I didn't hit record. You're absolutely lying. You're a liar. I didn't hit record. You're absolutely lying.
