Hang on, you didn't do it. Why? Why? You didn't do it at the end of the last episode. Why did you do that? Also, I got to intro the fucking podcast first. I'm sitting in the chair. I don't care. You gotta know. You can't. Let me

get through the intro and I'll throw it to you. Let's do it properly. Let me throw it to you. All in favor of me sitting in the chair right now, say yes. Hello and welcome to another episode of the Regulation Podcast. This is episode 000003. My name is Jeff Ramsey.

With me as always, Andrew Pant and Gavin Free. Nick and Eric. Andrew, why don't you sit in that chair? I'm going to sit in the chair. This is really nice. This is way better than what I was doing. My back has been so fucked because we've been recording everything today.

This is our fourth recording consecutively. My ass can't handle that in the other chair. I'm comfy. This is a great chair. To be honest, as soon as you sat down, I could hear your smile. Yeah, it's... He turned from a comedian to a comfy complainer, like, instantly.

I've been known to comfy complain, so I'm glad that it is bringing out that side of me. This is great. What are your immediate thoughts on the specifics? I can't believe I have a back now. That's wild What happened to these this is crazy? I? Don't think I'm going to tighten up in pain Every like hour or so and then have to get up and oh this is great The thing with chairs is I never know how to use them is the problem.

Like this has a lot of switches and stuff. There's always switches and levers and buttons and there's no instruction manual. So I just never use any of the attachments or like fancy stuff. It surely does have like a quick set up cheat sheet. Yeah, there was no cheat sheet. You know what? You know who has one? Fucking YouTube. That's always confusing because it's know what? You know who has one? Fucking YouTube.

That's always confusing because it's, I don't know. I've tried. I guarantee you there's some boring three minute video that the company produced

that explains very simply how to, what each knob and whistle does. It probably, do you think we could produce a more lively one? Yes.

Yeah. What if Andrew shoots a commercial that teaches the chair? That's great. I don't know how the chair... The problem is, how do I learn how to...

What the... I don't even know how to describe the thing, so how do I learn... How do I search... How do you... Do it like the cavemen do it. Start banging shit together

until you make fire. Yeah, why don't you wangle one of the knobs and see what happens? Yeah. I don't... Turn something left, lift something up, lower a different one. It feels dangerous.

Flip it to the right, crank down one of them. I feel like there are certain knobs that only work if you're sitting in the chair when you use them. You are sitting in the chair. Yeah, but I don't want to use it while I'm sitting in it because that just feels like that'll be disastrous. Why don't you just tease one of them to see what goes on? Some of these only work when you're sitting in it, and I'm currently sitting in it,

so I won't be pressing any of these things. They wouldn't, they didn't put, like, escape levers in there to jettison you out of the house. Like, they're all designed to increase your comfort.

I feel like I'm gonna hit this button and the backrest is gonna snap down and I'm gonna roll out the back of the chair. He's treating it like Wonka's Elevator. It's a chair! I'm going to roll out the back of the chair. He's treating it like Wonka's elevator. It's a chair. I am.

I don't trust any of it. It's very well made. There's amazing, like, there's so many things on it that's customizable. I just am scared. What do you mean? Just do something. I just flipped a lever.

I don't know what I did. I don't know what I did, but it's up now. You just bought a ferrari but you only drive it to the mailbox and back see what's terrifying is there isn't a lever on the same side so what did i just do what oh it could be like the amount of tilt back it could be lumbar it could be the forwards and backwards of the sitting part see there's a lot of things you can do it'd be like a goddamn tank levers everywhere how many pedals are there uh six all right calm down nobody needs nobody needs that shit

it's not available there's not a website anymore so we gotta we gotta do it here herman miller doesn't have a website anymore oh i've been uh i've been having a pretty serious problem with my printer what is this most serious issue you can have with a printer so i try print to it? It says couldn't find printer or like it just doesn't print And then I'll come back into my office like four hours later and the thing is just on the floor So my printer's just embarrassed It doesn't want to print in front of me. I've never I've never seen it print dude Dude, you have a shy printer. I dated a girl girl in the army who was the same way with eating she

wouldn't eat in front of me so we'd go to like burger king and she would wait till i look away and then she'd take like a rabbit bite and then like freeze up again or i'd go to the bathroom and i'd come back and she'd be going to town she's like wouldn't eat in front of me your printer is you gotta have you gotta sit down and have a conversation with your printer i'm actually you gotta put it at ease. I'm not even joking when I said I wanted to... when I thought I wanted to set up a camera to catch it printing. Because it will never do it.

I could ask it to print, and I'll sit in the room with it for three hours, and it knows when I've left. Dude, what if you ask it to print right now, and then we'll just see if it does before the end of the episode? I love it. Perfect. Let me print. What should I print? Can I give you something to print?

Yeah. Print the chubby logo. Printing the chubby logo. Look at how happy chubby guy is. We're just wasting ink then, huh? No, this is great. Every fucking color on earth. Chubby.

Jeff has that tattooed somewhere on his body. Hey, don't tempt me. I got one. chubby... Jeff has that tattooed somewhere on his body. Hey. Hey, don't tempt me. I got one. I'd love for you to have a chubby tattoo. I haven't had a tattoo in a while. I don't really think about them very much anymore. I wish I had more, but the whole part of getting them is annoying.

Barrier to entry stuff. Kind of like parasailing or whatever we were talking about. Your pictures can't be printed because this error occurred. An internal error occurred. The internal error is your present. Huh. That is a different error than I've got before. I will say, I could see it being a Chubby issue. Because I don't think there's anything official about the chubby branding at this point

Now I'm not familiar with chubby. Oh My god, it's just air screen on top of air screen when Gavin tries to print this. That's unfortunate Have you tried printing the law? It goes great. No Don't try that I'm getting it full screen. Just do, try printing it smaller. Maybe that'll help. Oh, yeah, there you go. What were you going to say, Jeff, about Chubby? I just am not familiar with Chubby as a brand.

Is that a Canadian thing? Or is it? Brand of soda from Trinidad and Tobago. Oh. It used to be in Canada. Now it's only available in the United States. Chubby Soda. At Walmart, specifically.

We were talking about it when we were in between recordings. He had asked if I'd ever had those, and I said no. The ones that I remember, it's these. These cheap-ass little nothing drinks. Oh, yeah, dude. Those, the little barrels?

Fuck yeah. I don't even know what they're called. I just searched, like, plastic cheap drink 1990s. Yeah, those things are fucking great, dude. What are, what are the flavors? Red, orange, blue. There's a purple, blue. There's a purple, yeah.

There's a green flavor. Mm-hmm. I think that's it. Don't know what they're called. They're like shaped like little barrels. You would never guess what they were called. What a ridiculous name for these. What is it?

Little Hugs. What the? Fuck you. Little Hugs Fruit Barrels. Motherfucker. That is what they're called. Fruit Barrels. They're discontent.

Little Hugs. Lame. They were like a other products a quarter they were so cheap so Chubby has pineapple sunshine cream scream orange tango

or tangy whatever it is tutti frutti purple power and blueberry blast they have a you get you can get like a little six pack

of all the different flavors I feel like we should get some of those. I feel like they're discontinued, sadly. The chubbies are. You just said they're in America. Gavin, did you guys have a weird little drink? I thought we were talking little hugs. I had Panda Pops.

They were probably the littlest drinks that I had. The littlest drinks. Is it, hang on, is it these? Oh, I remember them being smaller than... than that. I don't... Was that Panda Pop? I have no idea. I don't... I don't know.

Panda... Pops. I hated them. I didn't really like fizzy drinks. Oh! I hated him. I didn't really like fizzy drinks. This guy's too wrapped up in his printer, man. I don't know about this. Do you guys remember these?

I was thinking about these the other day, and I was going to ask if... Oh, wow. Did they exist in Canada, Andrew, or is this like an Outback Steakhouse kind of thing? I feel like that is an Outback Steakhouse thing. I have no memory of Clearly Canadian. That's really funny. In the 80s,

they were everywhere. Dude, yeah, that must have gone right up until about 1992. It feels like so early 90s and they were gone. That's crazy.

Yeah, it just disappeared. Why was Clearly Canadian discontinued? Poor management decisions. Founded in 87 in British Columbia columbia oh there you go there's a little before your time i guess i guess so you should you should if you can find some you should get some in 1993 their annual sales had 155 million jesus i'm learning all about little hug they also have big hug branded there's the same product but they're bigger oh that's awful you should not have a bigger bigger big hug branded there's the same product but they're bigger oh

that's awful you should not have a bigger bigger taste of happiness there's just it's just nothing it's just sugar it's like hummingbird food like you should they sold it in 2015 i believe it said and they reduced the sugar content so it's not i don't believe okay yeah but a million reduced to 900 000 is still too much dude it's fucking shitting. Okay, yeah, but a million reduced to 900,000 is still too much, you know what I mean? Dude, it's fucking shitting down rain outside my house right now. Sure is. It started.

Just started, yeah. It's begun. Big bug. Did you have, Jeff, I feel like this is after your time, but before probably everyone else's here, did you guys have Raven's Revenge? I have never seen that in my life. I don't know what it is.

I figured, I figured. What the goddamn, isn't that food? Is that like a fruit roll-up? No, no, no, no. Like, it's like sugar dust. Oh, like pixie sticks? Kind of, kind of. But, like, you would go to, to like the little raven's revenge station thing

and you would like layer it with different flavors some of them were like really sour and some of them weren't whatever so you make your own layers yes yeah yeah so you would make like cool designs and then show your friends and then you would all just be in sixth grade eating nothing but sugar it looks like something you would put in a letter to assassinate the president with. That does not look like edible food. Yes, I agree.

It's like something Ted Kaczynski would send to a college professor. We were inspired, you know? Yeah, it sums up the 90s, actually, now that you mention it. I'm surprised this generation has teeth yeah some of us don't especially with what nick is throwing down there with fun dip do we had fun dip in the office up until us going out of business fun dip in an office that's crazy i've never had fun dip but i've seen it a lot oh dude it dude. It's fun to dip good. Good stick. The stick is the best thing on earth.

I wish I could just buy the stick. Yeah. If I could buy like a stick, a six pack of sticks, like a stick pack, I'd be all, it's all I'd eat. A stick pack.

Dude, what a, what a power move it would be to just pull the stick out of a bag of Fun Dip and toss the bag out. I do that all the time. What are you talking about?

You know what I'm saying? It's a ball of move. Wait, the stick is edible? Yeah. It's the is edible yeah it's the best part yeah oh i always assumed it was just like a spoon so it's flavored like powder and then when you're done with the flavored powder the stick is just super pressed sugar that doesn't have like a flavor except sugar. It is sugar dipping in sugar and then you eat all of it. Yeah, it's a white flavor. That's how I would

describe it. Tastes white. Big time. What was the best flavor of Fruit Barrel? Red. Uh, boy. Red or blue probably. Those were like the cheapest, like the easiest ones. This website has orange and purple. The only ones they have have it's because they're the only ones left because nobody drank

yeah yeah because those aren't the good ones yeah god damn it okay i'll look into this i want to try those because i feel like those are things i've only seen in movies or like tv like they suck like they're not good you know do you remember speaking of shit? Bad candy. Do you remember wax cola? I think I know what you're talking about, but not that as a brand. Oh, God. Is it the drinks? The wax, wax, like the top?

Yeah. Wax bottles. Yeah. Yeah. But they're so small. Like, I didn't really understand. No, that's why they suck. You were supposed to, like, bite the top and then top and then drink them and then throw out the wax or

chew on the wax? What was the plan with the wax? You chew on the wax. Yeah. Who wants to chew wax? I would put the whole bottle in my mouth at one time and just start chewing. That's what you mostly did, yeah, until the flavor was gone. Oh, the tiny. You spit it out, yeah. Yeah, they're small. Oh, I thought they were like full bottle size.

Pfft. Like a giant candle bottle. That would be crazy. Just like walking around chewing on a giant ass candle. That's exactly what I thought you were talking about. I want that now. That needs to be a thing that exists. I'm sure you could make that.

What kind of wax is chewable? Listen, I'm already fucking fucking i'm doing pickling already i don't have time to figure out how to make a wax bottle on top of the pickling then you gotta get you started there you gotta get into industrial glycine start adding that in it's a whole thing industrial it would be so funny to just bite the top off a soda bottle and drink it and then just eat the bottle like a coke product type thing like real soda because i don't even know what the liquid is in the wax bottles because it's certainly not it's not soda it's like a juice i guess a fruit juice i describe it as yeah in quotes yeah

fruit in quotes did anybody else answer what the grossest food they eat is? Oh, no. I'm trying to... I don't really have one for fruit. Sticking in the beverage realm, I really like the taste of Dasani water, and I feel like that just makes me a scumbag. You're a monster.

That's crazy. That's the grossest... It's like drinking an oil slick. I know. Everyone says that. I like it. i think it was banned in england probably it's a shit bottled water i think it's like the worst bottled water brand it's somehow you you drink it and you're like less hydrated i don't know how it happens

it's like the tuxedo. Nick eats sardines with jalapenos and hot sauce? Yeah! Oh, wait. It's like a... On what? Like just a bowl? Yeah, a bowl. Like a bowl of fish and peppers and hot sauce? Yeah. This man is absolutely drinking fish stock

on the side out of cans. I can't be stopped. What does that look like? Gross. Nick, can you name on one hand the number of food you don't like that you wouldn't eat? Yeah, probably.

What do you avoid? Because we ran into that issue earlier in the other show where I was trying to remember something I didn't like off the top of my head. I'd say the thing I don't like the most or would probably avoid is coconut. Yeah, that was weird. I'm just like, considering what you... I didn't mean you're weird as in you're weird as a person. I meant of your taste preferences. Of all the things for you not to like coconut seems like

a weird one. It might be the texture. I don't know. A lot of people don't like it. What about in chocolate form? Like a bounty or like what do you, what are yours? Mound?

Mounds? Mounds is good. No, I can't do it. Yeah. Why we're in good chocolate. Nick has that dog in him, not in the sense of like not quitting, but he'll just eat whatever the fuck you put in front of him yeah i mean i'll

slop it up really i mean it's yeah i mean you guys are getting a better glimpse at what he is on the other show on 100 eat it's just this all the time yeah kind of you know gav you you you'll slop a lot of stuff up too in the grand scheme of things like you're not into sugary candies and like god no food that was created in a lab but like i remember touring scotland and england with you and you ate haggis and all kinds of nasty shit uh that was mainly trying stuff i still didn't eat that raw meat that you ate in the netherlands oh osverse raw meat yeah i didn't i was looking at that i'm convinced of the way it was pranking you with that shit we yeah and he totally might have been but uh we still we still ate it it was

not good it was like uh it was like what is it i don't ever eat it but what is that raw meat it's always an appetizer what's it called on a menu it was like tartare shoved into these pickled peppers. And then you would just like pop it in your mouth and there would be an explosion of raw meat and juice and blood. I'd try it.

It was... It wasn't great. Aust first. I lost him. It wasn't great. Aust first. Uh-oh. I lost him. I did. Yeah. Did Jeff lose power?

Uh-oh. I mean, the weather, just so you guys know, we've been recording for like the last few hours. If we're keeping this in. We've been recording for like the last few hours, and over probably the last, I'd say 45 minutes to an hour, the weather has turned like insane it was sunny and bright i mowed my lawn this morning like it was nice out black like i'm

in the dark it's so dark it's almost four it is raining so hard and i bet i don't know if jeff just lost power but i got a feeling he did do we think that jeff is a ups guy nope hmm ups like the battery yeah like the backup oh uh no absolutely not yeah so andrew the thing that i learned starting to work at rooster Teeth was Was that Thunder? What? Thunder? I heard that through Discord. Everything's crackling when the lightning strikes. The thing I learned when I started working at Rooster Teeth

is that they are religious about their backup batteries, both at the office and at home. I never had run into that until i started working there no so many people have backups it's really i got like five of them yeah it's i i've none my power goes out and i just go i mean i guess that's it i have a because i have a server that it spins up like 60 drives and i'm so paranoid about like a multiple drive head crash if the power goes out. So I've got like a dual layer UPS for it. Oh, wow.

You're set. There he goes. I haven't heard back from Jeff yet. I texted him to see what's up, but I haven't heard back from him. When I worked at an IT place, we had to do tape backups for servers. Did you ever do that stuff?

Yeah, I got tapes. Jeez, man man that stuff's crazy people all right i'm back what happened i'm back deaf yeah what's up i i know my power didn't go out just my my my router just turned off i guess or my mom was weird you might have had a surge i must have had a surge or something yeah it just took a second to come back on so you're still recording yeah i never stopped oh nice i'm a fucking professional dude come on are you a backup battery guy no no no but i never have been i have never had a backup oh that is fine yeah there you go are you well i know you are gav but is everybody else i am now, see. I'm a glow stick and candle guy.

If I was a backup battery guy, then that would just mean that I would be indignant and annoyed when I didn't lose my audio and everybody else did. This way, I'm a part of the group that loses the audio. Oh, shit.

It's pissing it down. It's pretty rainy. I'm jealous. I'd go to sleep. Does it make you sleepy? Especially in that chair? Oh yeah. I listen with the chair

and I listen to the rain sounds fall asleep. What did I miss while I was gone, by the way? We're just talking about batteries. Andrew, do you think you'll learn

your chair before the next episode? No. I've never learned a chair. Ever. I feel like you spend so much time in your office chair that I want to know without even looking like what all my knobs do I Just get intimidated

Because what if I flip the thing and it changes and I don't know how to change back Just remember what you did just do the reverse of what you just did you yeah Yeah, but I didn't know what I did in the first place. So how do I reverse what I didn't know? Not freaking Rubik's Cube. Film it. Film yourself doing it so you can go back and watch the tape. It's a chair, man.

And you got like the chair. If you were ever to learn a chair to maximize your comfort, this would be the chair. No, I'll try to. You're right. I need to fully utilize this chair. I will put an effort in

to learn all these buttons and switches. We've got a couple of weeks before we can record again. Exactly, Gavin. You should be like fucking Tank in the Matrix, like all laid out. Just like coding like crazy. Coding comedy.

I need to. I think that by the time you're back, by the time you're back, by the time we're back together, you should at least be able to show us a couple of tricks that you learned about your chair. You got it. Okay.

Comedy is all about setting something up and then having someone deliver for you. It's a one-two effort or even larger, but it's just the general structure is always that and you can see it in like some of the all-time great comedy duos, whether it's like Kean Peel, Abbott Costello, Faye Impoler. I mean, there's so many you can pick from, but that's sort of irrelevant. The point is, is you kind of need somebody to help you knock things out of the park. And that's you and Shopify.

Ooh, Neo. Yeah, man. if everyone here was a matrix character who would you be oh neo yeah man i'd be roy jones jr character i don't remember his name who roy jones jr he was in the matrix yeah i don't remember that who was he in the matrix

i don't remember his name let me look in The Matrix? I don't remember his name. Let me look at that. What was the character, though? What'd he do? Jeff just wants to be Roy Jones Jr. He was one of the dudes. He was a good guy. I'd be the guy that says, I want to eat steak.

No way, baby. I'm Joey Pants. You're right. You're right. You are more him. Yep. I'm Cypher. Hey, ignorance is bliss.

That steak looks... Every time I watch. Yep, I'm Cypher. Hey, ignorance is bliss. That steak looks... Every time I watch that scene, I really want steak. It just looks so good. And the way he eats it is so weird. They nail that scene. It makes you... Like, you watch that scene, and it makes you realize, like, look, I don't agree with what this guy is saying,

but boy, that is just everything to him, and it looks phenomenal. But if you were him, I feel like if I was in his situation i would think exactly like him like morpheus just keeps killing people he keeps on he keeps pulling people out of the matrix and they keep dying right okay it's ballard that's who i'd be uh okay i have no idea roy jones jr was in hell yeah i don't why was roy jones jr why why not i don't i don't understand it just looks like a bunch of people cosplaying a con well you know that's kind of what two and three looked like to me, so that's par for the course. I don't know if I...

I don't think I know Matrix well enough to make this declaration. I would be agent... Smith? I found out the names of the other agents, by the way. You know, there's originally three agents. Oh, yeah. I didn't know there were more names beyond Smith.

Like, the square-headed guy is Jones, isn't it? Yeah, there's Smith, there's Jones, and there's Brown. What were Jones and Brown doing while Smith was fucking around? Like, were they fighting a different Neo in a different part of the world? Having their own adventure? I think he just assimilates them, doesn't he? Yeah, I think so. I think that, like, doesn't he, like, he's the one that, like, Smith is, like, the one that, like, breaks out of, you know, being part of. Like, I think that I like, doesn't he like, he's the one that like Smith is like the one

that like breaks out of, you know, being part of like this thing, like as like an agent or whatever. And he just assimilates these guys. Yeah. He gets like anomalied and then he gets out of the matrix at some point into a guy that kind of, oh, it's the guy in that, in your picture, Jeff, the guy next to him. Yeah. Oh, okay.

Smith gets out of the matrix into that guy. Boy, those movies really really those movies suck yeah but if you uh if you lump them all in with matrix four those two movies are a masterpiece do you remember was it two or three that he pumped uh carrie and moss's heart back to life oh yeah he squeezes it. Yeah. Third one, I think. That was pretty cool. We're just talking about the Matrix. I stand by Matrix 4 as my favorite Matrix.

No, you shut up. No, you don't. It is. It's my favorite. I like that one the most. What did you say? Matrix 4 is your favorite? It's my favorite of the most.

I never saw it. I don't know. Two and three was so fucking painful to get through i don't know why yeah i didn't like three four why is four your favorite i just had the most fun with it like i i feel like i was maybe a little bit too young when the first matrix came out to appreciate it at that time you can still watch it now yeah i've gone back and i've re-watched and it just doesn't connect and like it's cool it's a cool movie but i it doesn't connect with me in the way that other people talk about it gavin it's no matrix 4 but the second one is no burley brawl and it has the the mile-long highway that they built what happens in the fourth one you know patrick harris

that's what happens they talk about stuff um i don't think they talk about stuff in any of the other movies this is a unique thing of matrix 4 uh there is uh some meta is there meta stuff in the other matrix movie where they're talking about their own franchise within the movie no that exactly sucks that no it's great no it's great. No, it's great. They're analyzing their own film series within the movie. It's good. Didn't the Wachowskis, do they still make things together? Did they make that together, or was that only one of them?

I think it was just Lana Wachowski. Yeah, I don't think they collaborated on that. What I will say is, regardless of any of the movies, none of them are entering the Matrix, which we do need to still play. Great. Gavin, why'd you say oh my god? I've got an update. Oh, okay.

What's your update? Oh, Brennan! Wait, so did you see it happen? No, I've got my headphones on. I didn't hear it. It just was on the floor when I turned around. So you don't even know if there was a hesitation. Well, it didn't print for at least five minutes

because I was keeping an eye on it after I hit print. Can I ask a serious question about the Matrix real quick? Yeah. Oh, it's Jeff. When did Jeff go? Jeff's gone again. Jeff's been gone. He'll be back.

Are you kidding me? He had nothing to say about everything Andrew was just saying? My God. Jeff's back. Do you remember in War of the Worlds when the noise the monsters would make in War of the Worlds? Yeah. I just heard that noise outside my house

and then I lost the internet for a second. So there may be an alien invasion going on right now. I don't know. Keep an eye out in the lightning strikes. There might be something coming down in them. Oh, shit. Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt. I just had to get that out.

No, that's fine. I was going to ask a very important Matrix question. What type of canned gravy would Agent Smith most be into? You think he's a caramelized onion? I think he is yeah he is what kind of things is he fermenting in his fridge oh god not fish no that much that dude i bet you a thousand dollars that dude ferments okra oh oh yeah that's what he's into like fucking slimy fermented fermented, pickled okra.

Yeah. I'm still just trying to figure out why Roy Jones Jr. was in The Matrix. I'd love to know. Do you think he knows? Do you think he really liked The Matrix? And so they put him in or like, how did that happen? I think he was a fan probably or something. Did you ever listen to his album?

No. Yeah, actually I did. It was around the time that he was ending his boxing career. So he's probably in that point where they're like, all right, do you make the transition to movies or commentating? Or maybe that's not the right move for you at all. Maybe just go quietly into the night. Which is, I think, what he ultimately decided to do

until he came out to fight Tyson. Was that last year, two years ago? Yeah, two years ago, I think. Again, I'm do until he came out to fight Tyson was that last year two years ago yeah two years ago I think again I'm just more of a fan of his music so he did have a great rap album he was one of the best boxers of all time he just he just retired four fights too late

I think his music was the theme song to one of the one of like those boxing games I think you're right i think you're right i think it was can't be touched that's a good one uh hey uh real quick rewind it back a little bit gavin you said you had a game or something oh yeah uh it's been postponed uh what what is that why what does that mean i just thought of a way to improve it and i need more time okay fair enough because i realized i remember we could do stuff for patreon What does that mean? I just thought of a way to improve it and I need more time.

Fair enough. Because I realized, I remember we could do stuff for Patreon. Yeah. Oh, wow. So you're talking about a supplemental that is just for Patreon. Well, it's a supplemental that is going to have stuff that we probably can't put on YouTube. Got it. I'm excited.

Because I remember that we can put clips. It's going to be clip heavy. I mean, interesting. Is this going to be, are we talking about my dick again? No. We can if you want. Oh, no. Gravel dick Ramsey.

No, thank you. It's funny. Sometimes when I have conversations with my mom, I feel like the way you guys react to me sometimes when I'm listening to two things that are happening in her life. My mom can no longer go to her favorite bakery. She was ruined her favorite bakery for her in a way that is so stupid.

And I say that in the nicest of ways, the most respectful of ways. Did you take all the money out of her purse? I didn't, no have you ever been like locked in to like you're gonna go to a place and get something and then when they don't have that thing you're completely thrown like you have no plan B

and you fumble have you ever had that experience? well I feel like it's never to the point where it's like I don't know what to do usually i go oh well you're not like my mom she went to her bakery she hasn't been to in a little bit to get cookies this is what she told me she was excited to get these chocolate chip cookies she was doing something that day that she was stressed about so she thought i'll get these cookies and this will like kind of start my day off right and she went in and she it's the same lady that works through it's a small local bakery and she's always had the same person that she interacts with every time is she known by

name i don't think so it is a thing where they don't know each other's names i assume but it's like it's always the same person behind the counter and she went in and she said i'll have two cookies and the lady said oh we stopped making cookies because we're making donuts now and my mom was not prepared for this and her brain immediately went there's a bunch of really good donut places around i don't know why you would make donuts this is her internal thought oh she's not saying so she's not saying that she's thinking this thank god and so so the lady behind the counter says would you like to try one of our jelly donuts and my mom replies with i can't have those was what came out which is not true there's no allergy there's there's no this is not true. There's no allergy. There's no, it's just not a thing.

And the lady went, well, we have cinnamon sugar donuts as well. And my mom doubled down and went, I can't have those either. You're so related and we are getting a more full picture of you. This is crazy. There's a pause. And then my mom said she didn't know how to handle the silence that was there so she just said the first thing that came to her mind and she said if you want a good donut go to milk jam donuts which is a different donut place and the lady looked at her

and said huh i, I would recommend. And then she said a different place. And that was it. And then my mom left. And she was the entire time just thinking, why did I say that? Why did I say any of that? I know. I wanted.

That was all dumb. That was terrible to say. And she locked herself out of donuts. She is now locked out. Well, no, she plenty of donut places. She can't get any other baked goods. You're right. There's no going back from that.

No. So when you tell a person at a bakery where they should get donuts that they sell that isn't theirs. Do you think maybe if she went in with your balaclava, she could get some stuff? Honestly, for how bad of a position she's left herself there it would actually help it would be a step up which you know i never thought about that but if we ever get a chance we should reprint that balaclava and sell it as a do-over mask the ultimate mulligan mask yeah the ultimate mulligan mulla mask that has been theulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mulligan mull Yeah, she she's like, who says awesome sauce? And I was so taken aback. I said, what do you mean?

And she said, that's it. Somebody says it. And I said, it was like a phrase a long time ago that some it's like an Internet thing kind of way back. And she said, no, no, that's not it. There is a specific person that is known for saying it. Who is it? And I have no idea who she's talking about. And she just keeps.

Have you been like, why do you keep asking me? She she forgets who she's talking about and she just keeps up have you been like why do you keep asking me she she forgets that she's asked me like there will enough time will pass and then she will ask me again and it sticks out because i i maintain to not know how to respond who is the person that says awesome sauce i guess if anyone's listening knows, please let me know so I can then forward it to her because she keeps asking me. Was it invented by Homestar Runner? Is that a Homestar Runner thing? I can't imagine your mom being on Homestar. You think your mom is watching Homestar?

She loves strong, bad emails in the cheeks? Somebody, oh, I think I have the answer for you. Okay. It's Chris Pratt in Parks and Rec, maybe. That is. Yes, that would be it. She did watch Parks and Rec. Thank you, Jeff.

Jesus. Yeah, it's either him or the lady, Aubrey Plaza. I see both of them in this. I don't know. Well, ask her if it was Chris Pratt or ask her if it was Homestar Runner. I'm sure that's not where she got it from. I'm just surprised that that's where it originated from.

Mrs. Panton really into the cheat. That's what I'm saying. She's a big fan of Coach Z. The whole gang's here and they want to say awesome sauce to Andrew's mom. I can just imagine her walking home

from the bakery muttering to herself about awesome sauce and then coming home and sitting in a chair that she doesn't know how to use. I'm so excited for this to be you in a few years and get to go through it with you Andrew to me asking you about awesome sauce yeah like when you hit the a like when because we'll still be friends when you're in your you know 50s or 60s sure it's this this is you are you know we

are who our parents or we will be who our parents are now right so I hope not to that level i don't want to get blocked out of a bakery you are the if i had to pick a person in my life who stood the highest chance of getting blocked from a you would be the only person on the list you you told us a story about your mom that should have just been about like if you told us that you're like I lied it was me like everyone yeah yeah was it you? no it wasn't me I wish it was was it you wondering what a butt plug was this whole time

she knows about she knows about those now she's informed what would be the funniest thing to put on a butt plug? A bottle of Chubby. Strong bad. Yeah, I would say the fucking Chubby. One of these little fucks I just posted a picture of from All-Star Runner.

What about a groan plug? Oh! You're up with every step interesting isn't part of the thing with butt plugs those people not knowing it's in well some of them have like tails on the back and no i guess it's true yeah you know maybe it's like a sense of danger like oh my god when i go to the grocery store, everyone will hear me. I really want somebody to have that in and then fall down a hill. They'll think I'm brushing my teeth, but it's just my butt. What if it was triggered by you farting?

Like the air shooting the pipe up? Dude. Like an amplifier. It's like a kazoo. What are those things they put on the German planes when they dive to make the terrifying dive sound? I got no fucking clue what you're talking about. Yeah, I don't know. You know, like,. sound i got no fucking clue what you're talking about yeah i don't know you know like

i know what you mean but the the i just am imagining like one of those but for farts oh they would like they would put up they would stick a playing card in the spokes of the plane right stuka siren stuka siren that was it Yeah it's like a little air driven Thingy that they would use to scare people On the ground Do you think the guy the woo guy The whistle goes woo You know what I'm talking about

Bub rub You talking about Bub rub and little sis Yeah I'm talking about Bub rub You think Bub rub has a stuka siren on his plane And he's the first one Gotta get those noises What do you think Bub Rub has a stuka siren on his plane and he's the first one gotta get those noises what do you think Bub Rub's doing today

he's still around right I don't know I love Bub Rub that's gotta be 15 years old right I'm sorry 15 is that what you said yeah

oh man it's got minimum it's gotta be 15 it's gotta be more don't you think who is who is bub rubb bub rubb yeah you'd settle that who you don't know bub rubb no i don't know bub rubb it was from i'll post a link to the youtube video but just watch it later or whatever it was from a news report in the uh in the bay area yeah i think and uh they had whistles

on their cars like on the muffler tips and it would whistle when you drove by and they interview bub rub and little sis about it and he talks about how like it's only in the morning you're supposed to be up cooking breakfast and then he keeps imitating the whistle and in 2004, funniest thing in the world. Can we watch it right now and play the audio or get in trouble? I mean, I wouldn't put the audio in

a wide release podcast. I mean, honestly, hey, you know what? Hey, let's put it to a vote. Try it. Yeah. Yes. Any opportunity to listen to Bubba Rub?

Jeff? Well, now I'm scared. I don't know. I think I'm a no. Good. Okay. Nick? I'm horrified.

No. I got to vote no. I got to vote no. That's fair. I'm sorry. We don't know. That is a no vote that I support. I'm okay with it. Yeah, I'm on board with that.

I mean, you voted yes, but yeah, I mean, I get sorry. That is a no vote that I support. I'm okay with it. Yeah, I'm on board with that. I mean, you voted yes, but yeah, I mean, I get it. Yeah, because I wanted it, but I'm glad that the adults in the room stood up and didn't allow it to happen. Well, I was immediately thinking you can have three strikes on YouTube, but also one strike makes you lose features. And then I started to think, what's that worth? Yeah, that's a good point. I wonder who even owns the kron4.com archival footage.

So what was it like Traffics Vuvuzela? What was the noise like? Dude, you just fucking nailed it. That's 100% it. That's better than I could have described it. Yeah.

It's just that Bub Rub is a character. And it's like it's basically you know how like when you do like man on the street interviews, like, sir, come over here.

What is your name? And your name's like, oh, my name's Gavin Free. And they're like, what do you think about the construction of the neighborhood? And you're like,

well, you know, it's inconvenient, but I appreciate that they're making improvements. It was like that kind of thing. But the dude walks up, he's like, my name's Bub Rub,

this little sis. And you're like, what? And then he just goes into the whole thing. It's very funny. It's really good. Definitely worth your time.

Has anyone watched the documentary Chillin' at the Mansion featuring himself? No. What? I don't know about Bub Rub. What? Oh no. What?

He collaborated with people. It says Linnell would hook up with the administrators of the website BubRub.com who started selling Bub Rub themed shirts, underwear, and even ringtones. The website also went on to promote and sell a DVD documentary titled Chillin' at the Mansion featuring

Linnell himself. I didn't know that he turned this into an industry, but I'm into it. We need to do a watch-along of that. It's a 17-minute video that looks like it's just him talking to the camera. Just him chillin' at the mansion. I bet that's a long 17 minutes that looks like it's just him talking to the camera. Just him chilling at the mansion. I bet that's a long 17 minutes.

Yeah, I bet it's long. Some people just perfectly monetize the moment. Would you rather watch the entirety of Bub Rub chilling at the mansion or Painkiller the making of part one again? Bub Rub. I'd pay $1,000 to shoot a horse again. Bub rub. I'd pay a thousand dollars to shoot a horse to watch Bub rub. Maybe something we should touch on

that is warped all of our views. I'd like to think since we did it, we did a movie battle. We did a summer movie auction thing. That'll be a supplemental.

I'm getting page ads on this Bub rub thing for the strangers chapter one I don't like as someone who doesn't own it I saw a trailer for it the other night I was like god did it scare you yeah a little bit oh I also don't remember what fucking movies I got apparently

because I got sucked into thinking I had the crow so we did a thing where we listed out all the summer releases and then we had an auction for who got what. And the goal is to build

a roster of movies that will earn the most domestically by the end of the summer. So we all got different things. I'm very excited for people to watch it. And we all understood it immediately. Yep. We did.

Once an example was given, it was like, oh, okay, I get what we're doing here. Every time it was explained to us before that, dude, it could make heads or tails of it. I'm sorry, Andrew. I love how hesitantly we entered that recording and how excited we were at the end of it. Oh, my God.

Like, we just wanted to do that for everything. Do you think If has already made me $200 million yet? Or do you think it's not? It is spurred some really fun trash talking in our Slack that I am excited to continue throughout the summer. You and Eric going at it last night was funny. Cannot believe that's how the game started last night. That was fucking unreal.

I was freaky. I was freaking out, like standing up from my seat going, yeah, Harold, the purple crap. So you're at an Austin FC game last night and you own the film. Harold and the purple crown.

Yeah. Star Zachary Levi. Yeah, absolutely. And did they promote Harold in the purple ground when he was doing his austin fc thing or was it just hey celebrity here it was just like austin resident zachary levi and i was like yelling at people to watch harold in the world that's right he does live here doesn't he uh-huh i didn't know why he was on the podcast that one time i assume yeah probably huh when was did he promote shazam 2

uh i think he was probably promoting shazam 1 i think i think it was shazam 1 yeah yeah that makes sense i really and maybe we should see if he wants to come on and promote harold and the purple crayon well no we can't do that that's a that unfair. We can't unfairly tip the scales in our own competition. I will say, I don't want to tip the scales. I'll leave it up to the people to have Harold and the Purple Crayon bring in $350 million without our help at all. We got this. I really like the idea of Eric booking Zachary Levi

and then us voting that he can't come on and be a democracy while he's here. He's like waiting in the wings. Yeah. If he books Zachary Levi, I get to book Michael Keaton for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. Oh, please. Go for it.

Hey, I'm for it. If you want to book Michael Keaton for this podcast, please, please do. Absolutely. Mr. Keaton, you are officially invited. Thank you. I'm booking Cosner then for part two of that drab fucking movie. But you have to be careful.

You have to be careful because you don't have part one. Yeah. You'll be promoting my part one. You got to bring them on after. You got to do it between the two. So when is that coming out? I'm really excited. I would love for that to come out as soon as possible.

And we got to stop putting out our drafts. We got some of those done. We have a lot coming down the pipe a lot uh we've been very since sort of like okay the shutdown's happening and us going okay we're gonna keep doing this we started just and i get a lot of credit to andrew just let's keep going let's just keep going uh and it's really exciting i'm very excited for everything coming out oh big time and like fun gas once we get everything set up

oh yeah we're lubing that pipe up with fun gas has anyone ever lubed anything with gas then we're gonna shoot so many fucking comedy butt plugs out of it all over the audience I like as soon as we get into the realm of appreciating the audience for the support,

Jeff takes it to like jeers and butts. Always. Rope. I'm just trying to illustrate how excited we all are to be doing the Regulation Podcast

and to be having such an amazing groundswell of support from the audience who I think are just the greatest people on earth. I mean i guess you could say that i was just going to say that i really genuinely from the bottom of my heart just appreciate uh not only the support uh but just the well wishes and just the the general feeling and camaraderie and commiseration i feel amongst all of them if you

want it to be whatever that thing you just said was is cool too but i just you know i don't know i just really genuinely uh appreciate and love and feel uh indebted to our audience and i just want to entertain them in the best way possible it is a constant shock of and shock not in the sense of surprise but like our community is so wonderful and supportive and there have been so many instances since we launched of that being displayed it is constantly just like how how did how did this happen around us like it is we're so unbelievably lucky it's been fun seeing like you pop up in the discord jeff like interact and i've been having fun i you know it's funny because i've i've largely strayed away from online uh totally the anything for a while um and discord is a little overwhelming you know

oh so jump right into and there's like so much going on and it's that there's like 10 000 people on the discord or something and and it's like a like every thread or forum i don't even know how to describe them i wage i try to wait into i get excited about and then i like quickly i like i try to go in the sports one and then i was so overwhelmed uh with just like all the different conversations and everybody seemed to know much so much more about sports than i did and i was just like I quietly lurk a lot in the discord and every once in a while I get brave enough

to type something yeah I feel like our community feels like early internet fun again it's like it's got such cool energy yeah it really does yeah

it's awesome you know what isn't awesome is the Canucks they're not great I'm stressed what is what's the series out right now 2-2 game 5 tonight. I'm stressed. What's the series at right now? 2-2.

Game five. Tonight. I'm nervous. But what I am excited about in the realm of sports, I really want to do this with you guys because I do it as part of my fantasy football league every year. I want us to get all in on the Scripps National Spelling Bee when it starts up. It's two weeks away.

Pick a kid? I want us to pick a kid. I want to watch it together like it it gets intense in a way that you would not anticipate when you have a kid on the line can we auction the kids uh i mean we could but probably not a great idea. No. 20. No. We're not actually purchasing the children. Oh, oh, oh. I thought we were actually illegally going to buy them and then steal them. We're just, okay.

This is not online. It's fine. An auction draft like the Summer League. I already feel like doing the spelling bee and doing content around it is like walking such a fine line. Like, I feel weird about it already. You don't think a video before that called the kid auction? But it's all, it's public.

It wouldn't be anything that they're not already projecting. You don't want to illegally auction and traffic the kids is what you're saying? You don't want to do that? Like, what? Do you think my issue with it is that it's public or private? No, I'm saying I understand that it feels weird, but like, we're not doing anything that they're not already doing. What does that mean? That didn't help at all, dude.

That didn't help at all. What are you saying? Because you have to, it it's like we have to pick our kids right we have to evaluate that's that's the problem this is your you're saying they provide the tools start this was this is gonna be like the movie league all over again you're like all you're like i don't know about this and then as soon as we die we're done you're gonna you're gonna be like that was so fucking fun i can't wait for next year i can't wait to do this i'm all in on this it's the most wholesome thing ever but unfortunately described in the most andrew way possible so if we can get

the regulation kid auction on the calendar that'd be be great. Listen, that's all Gavin. What I'm advising is supporting spelling culture, which is important. Education. Supporting. We're picking kids and cheering them on. It's not a thing where we're like, we want this kid to fail. I might want you to fail, Jeff, but I want all the kids to do great. Just get in line, buddy.

It's going to be a lot of fun. So how do we decide who we pick then if we're not auctioning? Typically, how it goes is the final day they'll have like 30 kids and then I'll post a list and then we can all just pick.

Yeah, but what if I want your pick? Well, we'll do it in order. We'll find like some way to do it. Okay. And when does this happen? We can random.org it it's like may 28th i think it's like 13 days away or something oh shit and did you want to record this or stream it or what i think record would probably be the best it's probably safer

huh yeah yeah with how eric is is nervous it, I think record is the way to go. I just don't. Give and out. Yeah, what kids are we betting on? Like their horses? It is really, like, that's the issue. You know what I mean? I mean, there probably is betting for it.

That doesn't make it okay. Like, what doesn't make, what is the issue with child betting? Did I, Jeff, am I insane? I feel so uncomfortable in this conversation. I'm just trying to figure out how to cut it out and keep the episode. I recognize these talented athlete spellers performing their craft. And I want to honor and respect it at the highest of levels.

And maybe win a little money on the side. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No money, no money has ever been won. Your draft order, you get to pick your draft order based on how well you do. That's how I do it in our league. But we'll figure out something else.

Maybe we have to do a draft, like a football league or something. That'd be fun. I'm not against that. I'd like to do like a giant league or something. That'd be fun. I'm not against that. I'd like to do like a giant elimination pool type thing. I think that would be

fun. You want to eliminate a bunch of kids. No that's not football. No sorry. Unrelated. Do you want to eliminate

a bunch of footballs. Yeah. I want to kill all of them. Deflate them. Get rid of them. No more. And by that I mean Gavin's dumb sport with the kicking,

not the real NFL. It's not my sport. It is your sport. It's the most popular sport on the whole planet. It's the world's sport. It's the world's sport. Gavin, if you had to pick a sport that was your sport, what would you pick?

Cricket. That's what I thought, too. I thought you'd be a cricket guy. I kicked your ass at that, so it's my sport. Get the fuck out of here. We should play a rugby game. That's also my sport. I used to have to play that at school. How bullshit is that?

Rugby? Yeah, I had to wake up like 7 o'clock, go out in the rain Put on my football boots And just get caked in mud And then I had to go in the rest of the day Do English and maths covered in mud all day It was bullshit

I had to play football and gym Do the same shit I feel like America has showers at the schools Oh yeah, you didn't get to take showers? We had them, but they were always taped off. I don't think they wanted kids showering. You wanted dirty little kids running around?

Yeah. And then Andrew would bet on them? What happened? I don't bet on them. I pick which one I think will win, and then we do an order of remnants. I read about what their interests are and what their past spelling bee records are. And then I make a determination.

Sometimes I'll watch the whole bee because you can see all of it up to the final and evaluate how they do under pressure. And like, are they asking the questions or not? I mean, there's a whole thing. How many times have you done this? Four years, have you ever won four or five i don't think i have no we got real close what's the highest your kid has ever placed uh oh so i i sort of technically won one year because there was a seven-way tie two years ago and i was one of the seven that's like being times person of the year that one year that doesn't yeah yeah i know but that's they they ran out of stuff like they they had to change the

smelling bee rules last year to avoid that situation ever happening again um but i don't think i've ever won by myself i think last year i was second maybe or third it's intense it goes for like an hour and uh it's stressful but it's a lot of fun do you think if you closed your eyes maybe you do this you could spell a single one of the fucking words no not at all we should do that we should play along with instead of betting on the kids see how well we do first of all not betting second of all uh what's interesting is in the preliminary rounds they do word definitions so like all the spelling impossible the word definition seems so much easier like i i get a lot of those typically it's a multiple choice that will it'll be like, word definition, revolution.

What does revolution mean? Is it A, B, or C? And the kids will always get it wrong. What's A, B, and C? What are my options? Option A is, it is a rechargeable battery pack that Gavin owns. Option B is it is a dancing video. Well, no, that would actually be.

It is something that slowly spins in a circle. It is something that slowly spins. It's also revolution. It is a Howard Hughes spins. It's also revolution. It is a Howard Hughes airplane is option B. And option C would be. Option C would be like, how do you describe? It's like when you overthrow something, right? Like when the people are like, enough is enough.

The kids get that shit wrong with those. That's terrible. Listen, I didn't write that, okay? I just am going off of what. They should spend less time spelling and more time comprehending. God damn. Jokes on you. I put the APC revolution under my desk.

I was self-conscious earlier when Jeff was dropping out and we had to carry a little bit with like matrix talk and like these different things or whatever. But I will say like the last eight minutes of this podcast have really been something else. And so I don't feel so bad about what was happening in the middle now. So you thought those eight minutes were fun. Wait until we do it for 90 minutes. You're going to have a fucking blast.

Oh, I'm going to go to the grocery store right after we do it for 90 minutes you're gonna have a fucking blast oh man I'm gonna go to the grocery store right after we do this and look for weird sodas and gravy in a can let's wrap this one up and call it and then you know we'll go from there how about that oh I wasn't trying to end the podcast I can go for another hour or so if you want yeah no we're not gonna do it

we've already been going for about 4, so I think we're good. Eric, can I ask you a question before we end? Oh, yeah. Absolutely. What is your least favorite part of our new business? Wow. It is probably the government paperwork and making sure that everything's filed properly.

Like, everything about it is great, except for, hey, don't forget this one. Oh, hey, did you do this one? Hey, this is filled out wrong. Hey, did you link this thing? Oh, actually this, the titling on this one's wrong. It has to be redone. Can anyone call the IRS?

It's probably that. I would say it's that. Now I will say, if you ask me again in a year, it will be the thing where you guys go, yeah, we should do this. And then I have to keep going, who is we? We is you, though. We is not. Here's the thing.

No, it's not. We is not me. That is how it works. Are you the producer? No, no, no. That's how it worked previously. That's how it worked previously. No, hang on, hang on.

That's how it worked previously when we had people that I could defer to and get help from. I am not shouldering this burden when you guys have an idea. I will help put it together. I will not shoulder the burden of harebrained schemes. Why not?

I feel like I'm well within my right to say, no, I will not be doing the harebrained schemes. I will help and facilitate. So in a year, that will be the issue. I vote Eric does producing role. Just for the harebrained schemes. Yeah, harebrained schemes. I mean, you got to vote on it all you want.

I might not make it to this time next year in this company. Oh, we got a fucking revolution on our hands. I'm simply letting, I'm simply letting you know where I stand. No, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Okay, so if us isn't you, it's surely on you to make an us of other people. Who are we? See? This is why I won't make it to this time next year.

Eric, as your temporary boss, I'm going to have to insist that you stay out of your contract for at least another year. Yeah, it's not. I'm telling you right now, because if this is the way that it goes, it ain't going this way. It's going to be bad.

Alright, let's take a vote on it. Vote on it all you want. Is it going to go good or bad? Is it going to go good or bad? I vote good. I vote bad. Eric votes bad. He wants it to go bad. I'm sorry, Nick voted good. I'm simply letting you know what's going to happen. No, it's going to go. We just voted

on good. We passed the vote. Andrew? He didn't vote. Wait, sorry, what were we voting on? Good or bad. Spelling be kids. Andrew's like, I'm spelling be kids. Never mind. Good or bad? Is it gonna go good or bad? There you go, four to one. Alright. The only one who seems to want this to go bad is you, Eric. I certainly don't

want it to go bad. Oh, then we're set. Sweet. Great. So where do you fall on the whole, like, weird shit in a can bit, harebrained scheme? We can put that together, but it's not just me. That's what I'm telling you in this whole thing. When it's us and it's your idea,

I'm not going to pick up that ball and run with it 100% of the time. I will absolutely help to facilitate and do this stuff, but I'm not going to listen to every half-baked idea in the show and do it automatically. So you're saying you'll have one, you'll have a hand on a shared ball. Yeah, absolutely.

Yes, because that is, when it is, we should do this, I'm saying, who is we? We has to be the person who had the idea or someone else stepping up and me and I can help guide this thing and make this all happen but I cannot do it all that sounds like a that sounds like a we yeah right which is what makes sense when I say who is we and Gavin says we is you and I say no it's not what don't you get? When I say we as you, I mean, the bull has to start rolling with someone.

You can't have a we. We as you means we as me. And I'm saying no, it's not. But we can't have we without me. That's true. Right. But Gavin didn't say we as us. Gavin said we as you.

That is what I'm being very deliberate and very clear here. We is not just me. But get the ball rolling and we'll all put hands on the ball. That's what I don't trust. I need to see it and we can do it. Okay. Does the ball have an orifice?

I'd say it's got at least two. I will put my hand all over that ball. So, Andrew, did you pick a kid yet or what? What? I feel like so far the ball in general has been very well shared. We've all been doing all kinds of shit. It's all been getting everything together to do

this business and I feel really, really good about it. We are getting to the point now where we are creating shows and content and doing this stuff and the Wacky Idea Factory begins and it's fun. I love the Wacky

Idea. I have no problem with the Wacky Idea Factory. I love it. It's a lot of fun. But I want to make sure the wacky idea factory isn't just Eric by himself trying to get the wacky idea, the half-baked. I agree. I'm telling you, I'm not saying that you guys have let anything drop. I'm simply saying when we, who is that? And you say it's you.

It's not just me. That's all I'm saying. Here, allow me to Allow me to be clear. When we have the ball, 100% of the time, no matter whose ball it is, no matter who creates the ball, my fist is in it.

So there's always going to be at least a me with the ball. So anybody else that touches the ball or inserts anything into the ball, it becomes a we. But there's always going to be a me involved the ball. So anybody else that touches the ball or inserts anything into the ball, it becomes a we, but there's always going to be a me involved in this ball guys. I'm fisting it hard all day long. So don't ever feel like it's just going to be you because it can't only be

you because I'm already in there. Yeah. I'm going to touch every ball. Yeah. That's great. I'm super into that. I'm not good at starting the movement of the ball. I can provide the ball. Yes'm super into that. I'm not good at starting the movement of the ball. I can provide the ball.

Yes. Right. Right. But it can't be a full handoff. That's what I'm saying is that it can't be, well, I had the idea. Now,

Eric, you take care of it. That's never like that. It's not like, Hey, you make this content. I'm not saying, I'm not saying that I'm saying when I asked,

who's we, you said, we is you. That is what this whole conversation is. Please understand that I agree with everything you guys are saying right now. I'm saying that when I asked, you said we is you, and I said no, it's not.

That's all. Well, I think technically you're a part of we, so it's you plus. That is not what was said. Because don't forget I'm in the ball right now. Knuckle deep. The ball's wet. Now, I get it, and I think this was a good conversation to have,

and I'm glad that we had it. I feel like we should resolve all these conflicts in episode. I'm totally into that. I have no problem with that. Was this a conflict? No, not at all have no problem with that was this a conflict no no not at all but it's as close to a conflict as we typically get i just like the visual of we're all in the harebrained factory looking out the window and there's a whole patreon waiting outside and i'm excited about it we gotta deliver we do gotta deliver now before we had this conversation in my head the harebrained

factory was four people looking down at one factory worker me to a whole bunch of people on the outside yeah you saw it as you're down on the floor and we're all up on like a gantry with clip uh-huh yes eric you've also got a clipboard you also have oh cool great he's got a lab coat just like us eric's just like slamming his clipboard into the ground kicking it across the floor this factory sucks oh man it's the very fucking best isn't it like having what you said we now we have to deliver i'm so excited to deliver it's so i much. I'm very excited. It's the fun part. It is the best kind of positive pressure

I can ever... It's almost like... Well, it's... I don't want to turn into pee talk, but it's really great. I really love... I love just knowing that I have to deliver. I feel like we got balls

coming out of our anus right now. Yeah, we do. I've got so many balls, I don't know where to put them all. They're in my mouth. I'm just like we got balls coming out of our anus right now. Yeah, we do. I've got so many balls, I don't know where to put them while they're in my mouth. I'm just like juggling balls in my mouth because where else

am I going to put them? It's true. All right, why don't you go and do the outro. Let's get out of here. Hey, thanks for listening to another episode of the Regulation Podcast.

If you wanted to, I don't know, tell a friend or a co-worker or a family member about a really fun, family-friendly, safe-to-say podcast, you could use this one, for instance, Regulation Podcast. I think that they might be highly entertained. Everybody has at one point in their life thought to themselves,

how much money would I pay to shoot a horse between the eyes? And those are the kind of themes that we explore in a fun, family-friendly way. But you know that because you've already listened to it. I'm just trying to give you selling points for all the people that you're going to turn on to the podcast. Thanks for listening and check out our Patreon at patreon.com slash regulation pod. And we'll see you next week or we won't see you, but you'll hear us next week. Bye. Thanks for the support.
