Starting point is 00:00:00 Dragon's Dogma 2, the highly anticipated successor to the cult classic Dragon's Dogma, is out now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S and X, and Steam. Dragon's Dogma 2 is a third-person action RPG boasting a richly detailed and deeply explorable fantasy world created using Capcom's RE Engine's immersive physics, groundbreaking character AI systems, and cutting-edge graphics. Dive into the vast and dynamic world where The Arisen is called upon to fulfill a forgotten destiny across the nations of Vermont, the Kingdom of Humanity, and Batal, the nation of Beastrin.
Starting point is 00:00:36 Dragon's Dogma 2 revolves entirely around choice. Your choice, that is. From the sword and shield-wielding fighter to fighter to the illusion conjuring trickster, there are over 10 unique vocations to choose from that all require experience to unlock new skills. And character customization is out of this world, literally. Oh, and did I mention the combat is really in-depth? It isn't just hacking at a giant's ankle for half an hour while your dodge roll attacks. You can engage enemies from a distance, climb up large foes, stab them in This is a Rooster Teeth production. Hello and welcome to another episode of the F*** Face Podcast. My name is Jeff Ramsey. With me as always, Andrew Panton and Gavinavin free my two favorite people in the world sorry millie but you're not listening to this anyway so it's okay
Starting point is 00:01:50 uh what episode are we at does anybody have any idea 121 i believe once once i once i quit chronicling uh year volume uh etc etc season uh i just completely lost it. I'll be honest, I was a fan of the volumes and the chapters, the years and the volumes and all that. I was too, Gavin. I was too. I feel like we weren't against it as much as I didn't understand the system. I was confused by it. Andrew and Eric
Starting point is 00:02:18 refused. They were very against it. They were very clearly against it. They said, no. No more, Jeff. I said, fine. We have no Nick and Eric were very against it uh they're very clearly against it they said no no more jeff i said fine you know we have no nick and eric today we wore those little guys out this morning gavin we went out uh it was baseball's round two how'd it go i'm very excited to hear about this well let me you know what i mean i know how i think it went let me ask you gab how do you think it went uh i think you came out there you were potentially in worse shape, you've been
Starting point is 00:02:45 recently injured. Easily in worse shape. And you cracked out more hits than you did last time. Are you serious? I think you had a streak of about 15 hits at one point. Jeff, that's ridiculous. I had a good morning, I'll say.
Starting point is 00:03:02 Gavin is right, dude. I am in worse shape than last time I hit the balls. That is not by design. It is the unfortunate side effect of having the jock itch and the bike falls and the vasectomy. I just haven't been able to get on my bike or do any kind of exercise pretty much all summer. And so I came in about 10 pounds heavier and wayward. I came very close to vomiting twice Really? Yeah, we I had to I had to take breaks to go sit in the dugout and pour water on my head
Starting point is 00:03:37 Yeah, you had to sit in the breeze and he was just sort of led over Trying not to hurt. Yeah, I was I was very close to vomiting very close but i was able to hold it in um yeah and so we went to a different ballpark this one uh the fence was at 315 feet so not the i don't know maybe 200 the other one was i will say i fucking tried my hardest. I did not hit one out of the park. Damn. But I got close. Yeah, you're playing injured. I was pinging 270 pretty consistently, I think. One of them looked pretty like 290-ish from where I was at. Yeah, and I think I'm like a, I'll go ahead and say it, I'm 100% sure I can hit one over that fence.
Starting point is 00:04:22 And I don't want to make excuses, A, being out of shape, but B, that bat, I use the same bat because the only one I have. It's getting pretty gammy. It probably weighs an extra four pounds in pain. It's got dirt and shit sticking off of it and grass. It's probably an inch wider than it was.
Starting point is 00:04:41 It's not the best bat in the world to hit the balls with anymore. But, you know, I prize consistency. And then the pitching machine this time was wackadoo. I would say, like, Andrew, probably one out of every four pitches
Starting point is 00:04:54 was a strike over the plate. Really? And that got pretty frustrating because I hit about 200 balls today, maybe 225, somewhere around there, was my limit. And that's it. was my limit. And, and that's it.
Starting point is 00:05:06 That's it. Like from this point on, we're going to do it again. We have another 250 balls. That's going to be where we do the, that's where we get in. That's what we do. The different dips of paint
Starting point is 00:05:14 and Gavin and, and, and Nick and Eric can hit and we can just, everybody can have their own color signature. And we, you know,
Starting point is 00:05:21 let's get a better pitching machine for that one. Let's get a better pitching. Well, one. Let's get a better pitching... Well, yeah, sure. Now that you guys are going to hit, we'll get a better pitching machine. Because I don't know if it came across in the videos last time,
Starting point is 00:05:31 but that pitching machine is... It basically is like a leaf blower tube cut in half with a spinning tire inside. And every time you drop a ball in, the tire grips it and throws the ball. But what you don't really see is that the tire is now spinning at like 30% the speed that it was before before so you can't immediately dump another ball yeah because it
Starting point is 00:05:49 doesn't come out very fast so you have to wait for it to spin up to speed and if it goes too fast and it goes too high it's a nightmare that thing so is it the same machine that you used last time it's the same was it as bad the first time or has has it just... It's gotten worse. It's gotten way worse. Fascinating. Way worse. And it's frustrating, too, because the first pitch will be nine feet high, and then the second feet will hit the ground three and a half feet before the plate. And then the third pitch takes a dogleg right at my crotch, and then the fourth pitch will be a strike.
Starting point is 00:06:23 So I started to get so frustrated and i just like i stopped trying to hit dingers and i just tried because i was just getting bored of like watching pitches go by and i i was having a lot of luck signing them like the signatures look way better this time around because i was liberal i was bernie sanders with the paint dude and uh it was slinging everywhere. And so I just, I was like, fuck it. I'm going to swing for every single bad pitch. And I was able to connect with 99% of them
Starting point is 00:06:52 just because I wasn't trying to put it over the fence. It was still so much fun though. So much fun. I didn't bring my big camera this time just because I need to use it soon for other work and I don't want it covered in paint or smashed. So I used my phone and the back of my phone has a nice sort of bumpy house paint job and there's a little bit of black
Starting point is 00:07:11 paint on my green card which i'm going to try to scratch off at some point because i'm dumb and i left my wallet on the back of it i've been uh i've been pulling uh black paint out of my arm here all day um except for day. Except for the right side, where I was like, oh, weird. There's no black paint on this side. I wonder why. And then I remembered over the weekend, or Monday for Labor Day, I grilled a really nice steak for Emily
Starting point is 00:07:36 and I. And I was not paying attention to what I was doing. I was listening to a podcast or something while I was grilling. And I squirted a little bit too much lighter fluid or and I set off a bomb that burned all of the hair off of my right arm
Starting point is 00:07:51 didn't cause any damage to the skin but I came back inside and I held it up to Emily and I was just like look at this and she was like oh my god do we need to go to the hospital and I just like I just took my hand and brushed my arm hair and it just all hit the ground and like little little burnt nug like little nubbins it was that's really
Starting point is 00:08:11 clear example of how emily are different because if you came in like that my first thought would be oh my god are the stakes okay is that the stake on yet fantastic oh jeff i think you're stronger than a machine as what we've established you're better built than the machine used to pitch the ball you've only improved over time when it has lessened here's what pisses me off about it too I
Starting point is 00:08:35 hit a rhythm about a hundred balls in when I was like I was really really starting to see the ball I was making contact nine out of every 10 pitches that I swung at. And I was hitting them pretty consistently to about 250 to 275 dead center field. And that's also... Right as I'm dialing in and I'm starting to hit my groove,
Starting point is 00:08:58 that's also when my body starts to shut down for lack of cardio. And so right as I was like starting to feel it i started to feel it uh the other way and so it was like a constant battle between like man it's like the epitome of the mind is willing you know but the body yeah the body's this fucking dickhead um yeah i i'm actually i was thinking about on the way home i'm actually kind of mad at myself for the alcoholism thing because if i hadn't been so distracted by booze in my 30s i could have played so much fucking baseball it is so much fun and i feel so like i don't know maybe it's just like growing up in america and watching baseball all
Starting point is 00:09:38 the time and playing little league and shit but i just feel so connected to it like it just feels like it just like it just feels i feel good at it you know like i want to do it more yeah at one point after you came back for a rest after hitting probably 80 balls uh you said it was after you were slopped over trying not to vomit you just went back and you were like man i hate this age it's easy to forget that i'm the fucking 47 year old dude out there doing that you know so are you gonna try to pursue playing baseball recreationally or do you think it's specifically the hitting part of the game you enjoy do you think you'd have fun in an actual game where you're on second base or whatever just wait yeah i would love to play like sandlot baseball uh i love i love playing i like to pitch um i would love to play i like, sandlot baseball. I love playing. I like to pitch.
Starting point is 00:10:27 I would love to play. I'm scared to death of playing infield. It's too much math. It's too mean. It's like too much knowing which scenario to throw to, so I much prefer to play outfield. But where worst case scenario, you just throw the ball home. You know, you can't go wrong in there.
Starting point is 00:10:42 Because, you know, baseball gets stressful in the moment. It's all about making snap decisions and making the right snap decision based on the environment. But I don't think so because I'm just not good at scheduling stuff now. I'm at the age where it's hard for me to show up at an appointment
Starting point is 00:10:56 or to want to make an appointment. And so life so gets in the way every day that I just don't think it's a reality. But I'll continue to hit these baseballs as long as the audience wants autographed baseballs. I'm heads. It is so much fun to do. And I'm so excited to get Gavin and Eric and Nick involved too. There were, I think, way more signed balls from this batch.
Starting point is 00:11:18 So I think if you buy from this lot, you're more likely to get a nice paint stain. Yeah. I didn't strike out a lot today. Also, Blaine and Andrew showed up to help, not you, Andrew, Eric's friend Andrew, showed up to help
Starting point is 00:11:37 catch balls, and that was really appreciative, too, so I want to say thank you to them. Sweet. Blaine gave me sunscreen and lent me a hat. Blaine gave Gavin... I thought he was being funny, but I don't think he was. No, he knew what he was doing. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:11:55 He brought a tube of the most viscous sunscreen. It was like, it came out like toothpaste. And he just was squeezing it on my hand. And it was like, you got enough? You need more? And he just kept squeezing it into like a big dog turd on my hand. And I couldn't rub it all in. I was offering it around.
Starting point is 00:12:10 And eventually I just smeared it on my shin. And I just kept a mound of sunscreen on my shin for the entire day. And people were using it from my leg and stuff. Did you see him use the sunscreen, Gavin? Oh. No. I didn't either. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:12:26 I didn't either. Interesting. Interesting. We'll see how you're feeling tomorrow. Man, can I tell you guys, before we get off the baseball thing, I encountered a little bit of friction with my girlfriend over this for the first time.
Starting point is 00:12:47 Oh, no. Not bad. But the other day, or it was actually last night, she was like, what do you got going on the rest of the week? And I was like, oh, I'm getting up and I'm hitting the baseballs tomorrow morning. And she goes, really? And I was like, what do you mean? And she's like, you can barely walk.
Starting point is 00:13:02 You just got you're just now getting over your bike injury. Before that, it was the jock itch and the, and the vasectomy. And then the jock itch before that, like you have been, you've been, you've been a neutered physical mess for like three months.
Starting point is 00:13:16 And you're, and do you remember how you felt after the last time you hit the baseballs? And I was like, I felt pretty bad. And she was like, you were fucked up. You were fucked up for three straight weeks.
Starting point is 00:13:23 And I was like, yeah. And she's like, and you're going to do that again tomorrow. And I was like, I guess so. And she she was like, you were fucked up. You were fucked up for three straight weeks. And I was like, yeah. And she's like, and you're going to do that again tomorrow. And I was like, I guess so. And she's just like, and then,
Starting point is 00:13:31 uh, and then today I was so excited. Like I knew I was in worse shape, but I was thinking like, I'm going to stretch better. I know what to expect. So I think I'll probably fare better. Right.
Starting point is 00:13:42 Uh, physically. And I, and I feel, by the way, I feel fucking great right now. I came home. I immediately ran a hot bath, filled it with Epsom salts, got into the bathtub and thought, I'm just going to sit here and let my muscles relax and I'll be completely okay. I looked at my phone and it said 1219 PM. And I thought,
Starting point is 00:14:01 why does that matter to me? I don't have a face face till three o'clock why would I care that it's why does 1219 seem bad and I was like so then I like slowly looked at hit my calendar and sure enough I was supposed to be at Rooster Teeth at one o'clock to do this interview show thing and I was like god damn it and I had to rush out of the bath
Starting point is 00:14:20 and then throw clothes on and then immediately I took a I took a 45 second bath and then throw clothes on and then immediately go to work. I took a 45 second bath and then immediately went back to work. You now know my pain. When I saw Gavin, when he beat the Halo time,
Starting point is 00:14:35 you can now relate to the sadness of realizing you have to get out immediately as soon as you're getting in. Absolutely, dude. I feel your pain. It sucks.
Starting point is 00:14:44 What's kind of interesting about all the baseballs we hear is that I'm pretty sure some of them were hit while the queen was alive and some of them were hit after she died.
Starting point is 00:14:52 Like, that's exactly what we were doing, I think, the moment Queen Elizabeth died. Yeah. My condolences to, like, honest condolences
Starting point is 00:15:02 to everybody affected by the Queen's death. I was very, very sad of it. Hell of a life. I read a stat today, and I texted to you and Eric, Jeff, that the Queen was alive for 30% of all the presidents.
Starting point is 00:15:16 She was the Queen. Yeah. Isn't that crazy? She was the Queen during the presidential, I guess, 14 different presidents. It's like 30 30 of our country essentially i mean it doesn't shake out that way because of like how many terms the president had but yeah but still it's roughly and harry s truman who only exists in history books distantly exists
Starting point is 00:15:36 in history books to me was the president when she uh took over the monarchy that is insane yeah winston church Churchill was the prime minister when she became queen, and then she just put in the newest prime minister that just happened this week. And those two people were born 101 years apart. Those two prime ministers. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:15:56 She also presided over 15 prime ministers. If I've survived for 30 30 of the presidencies 15 prime ministers but not the game of thrones books finishing i would be so fucking mad i would be livid be so frustrating she she was still born like 60 years before the first game of thrones book no i understand but it's just is they're taking forever they're taking a long book if i was a game of thrones fan i don't know if she read the books i don't know what she was into from a literary perspective but i'd be like what are you doing like i get it's tough but be so frustrating i got news for you i think we're all gonna be frustrated i don't think that's i don't think jj.R. Martin is in any danger of finishing those last two books any time soon.
Starting point is 00:16:52 And he, let's just say, he hasn't lived as healthy a life as the Queen did, I suspect. How old is he? He's got to be in his 60s or 70s, right? I'd assume 70s, yeah. I just don't think there's any need for him to finish. If I was him, I don't know why I would finish. That's a weird thing. It's not going to please everyone.
Starting point is 00:17:11 People are going to be annoyed. He's 73. Yeah, he's basically made something so successful that people are annoyed at him that it's not finished yet. I disagree. I think that it will please... I think that the books will please everybody. Because here's the deal.
Starting point is 00:17:24 The people that love Game of Thrones, the TV show, aren't necessarily that the books will please everybody because here's the deal the t the people that love game of thrones the tv show aren't necessarily reading the books and but everybody who reads the book i don't know anybody who's read the books who didn't like them i wonder how close the ending of the show matches with what he planned on doing very different interesting yeah supposedly very different and that's part of uh maybe he was thinking of doing it the way the show did it and then just thought it's such a weird scenario yeah it's a great it's it's it's a free ab testing right they throw it out there yeah it's like putting your book in early access i'll do something different with clagain then all right i have a clip. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:18:05 Gavin has a clip. I was informed of this yesterday, and I've decided to not be concerned. Because last time, I went on the aggressive, and it actually helped me. I don't remember what the clip was, but it's the first time that it wasn't directed at me. So this time, I'm just going to let it happen.
Starting point is 00:18:22 I'm not worried about it. I haven't planned anything. What's your clip, Gavin? This is a clip from an episode two weeks ago, September 2022. Previously, my chair had been broken for months, and I continued to use it out of the hope that it would completely collapse while we were recording at one point. And finally, it hit its last legs last night.
Starting point is 00:18:46 I ate shit. And I was so disappointed that it was not on the show. I had been hoping for it. So this was after you talked about it breaking last time this has happened? Yes, this was, that was after, it was broken, but I was still making it work, and now I had to go buy a new chair.
Starting point is 00:19:01 So when did it dump you off? It dumped me yesterday. Okay. Okay. September work and now i have to go buy a new chair because i cannot did it dump you off it dumped me yesterday okay um september 2021 uh yesterday my chair broke i've been using a broken desk chair since before this podcast started and my dream was that it would break while we were recording that was the goal. I tell the same story back to back. And yesterday I dropped something and I went, I bent down to pick it up while in the chair and the chair broke. Finally, it was the end. Dumped me on the floor.
Starting point is 00:19:37 And then obviously we've got. He's like, well, you know, we'll just, we'll figure it out. We'll see. Let's see what happens. I move like an inch and the chair shatters. It just falls. That last one's from the 4th of July party. I like the fact that you are a serial chair breaker.
Starting point is 00:19:55 Almost once a year now we get a story like the one that you told last week. That surely wasn't the same chair. That was a different chair story. It just happened very similarly. Both, like right around the same time. Like it's about every September. That's fascinating. September 2022, September 2021,
Starting point is 00:20:15 and then in November 2020, you told the 4th of July one. But I think you talked recently about how your chair was breaking and you hoped it was going to break it. How many chairs have you broken? I've broken three chairs. You've just documented all three chairs that broke.
Starting point is 00:20:31 So how I don't know if I told the story of the podcast, how the last one I had broke, why it got broken was that there. So it has armrests on it that like go up and down. And it was a time in which I had really hurt. I was dealing with an ankle issue that was really bad. And so my bed is level with my chair. And so I would roll out of the chair into the bed and then roll out of the bed onto the chair. So I'd go back and forth. I rolled onto the bed, forgetting to raise the armrest.
Starting point is 00:21:02 And I took the whole chair down with me. And that is what initially fucked that chair up because i took it i landed on it on its side and then it was chair three that was chair three yeah so what was the issue with chair two because chair two day before i chair two i owned for like a decade and it just progressively broke over okay it was just a natural failing of it the the chair three had only a one year lifespan essentially like almost a perfect year and it's ever since that fall it could never fully recover and then i partially broke it a second time sort of in a similar way to the second chair where the front was tilted the entire time uh and
Starting point is 00:21:45 then it just it finally gave when i i went into the tony hot grind mode trying to pick something up i that was that was i'm so excited for next year's chair story i can't i don't i don't know what's gonna happen i don't want any more chair stories i have a question here gavin are you saying that you've been using the same chair the entirety of this podcast? Yeah. Yeah, I got this chair in 2016, I think. How many chairs have you gone through? I'm on my third chair.
Starting point is 00:22:16 Jeff's on the third chair. What about you? The others didn't break, but like, well, one of them broke. The first one was like half. You know how like the hydraulics break on a chair and it won't stay up anymore just like slowly sinks down i got rid of one of those and then i got a second chair and it was just uncomfortable so now i'm on my third maybe my fourth chair honestly i feel like uh i feel like it's a this is a revolving chair podcast it is
Starting point is 00:22:37 yeah that was i didn't mention it either that was one of my favorite things that broke on once i went into the tony hot like before that when it was really broken but not fully dead the hydraulics broke on it so every time i'd get off of it it would slowly raise to its highest point and it would shoot down whenever i'd sit on it it was fantastic it's a lot of fun sad that that chair's dead i think we should get you a chair that will last maybe a custom chair. Yeah, I'm not opposed to that idea at all. I'm fine with this chair right now. I'll get a year out of this, ideally, and then maybe we can-
Starting point is 00:23:12 So is this a new one you've got now? Yes, it is. Well, relatively now. I guess whenever the last one broke since that point. Yeah. There is something I want to talk about that you just reminded me of. Okay. I saw a thing.
Starting point is 00:23:23 I saw it was posted i believe on the subreddit there's a tiktok of a cup that got invented they took some of the gerpler technology what it's a real thing i wish i could find you know how in my design document i pitched the idea of like a deck of cards when you fan it out like that would be the top that you close there's a cup that does that we see if i could find the post yeah i need to i need visuals i'm confused if this is the thing that i came up with and someone else also came up with and created or if i saw it before i don't remember how i came to that point of designing the gerbler let's see if it's on the subreddit or actually i know where i
Starting point is 00:24:00 could find it but it's if you remember like my cup ridiculous design it had the parachute it had the the wings on the side of it but wheels didn't as well it had wheels yeah just so you want to slide it down uh but the main one of the main points of design was i wanted a top that you could fan to close so it could be open or close so in the event that you're worried it would it would spill uh one second here um have you ever broken a chair gavin uh oh i must have broken one at work at some point i would imagine you've broken everything breakable at work uh well i mean jeremy broke my desk that's true hey while you're looking for this can i just say uh on a whim i looked on the store just before we started recording do you know what's what we still have more of that's still in stock uh grow tubes grow tubes grown yeah we have done a phenomenally piss poor job of telling you terrible that the grown tubes are in the store i'm sure by the time you hear this they'll be gone but they've been in the store for like three
Starting point is 00:25:13 weeks and nobody has cared or noticed we haven't posted a single time i think we might have posted once like right when they hit uh but we certainly haven't talked about it and promoted it like we do. If we could sell a thousand bat knobs and a thousand pink porta potty tiki mugs, I would think we could sell... I think the grown tubes are arguably... were arguably more desired than
Starting point is 00:25:38 those other two items. We've had 600 of them just sitting there collecting dust, and I just can't believe we've done it. I'll take the blame for it. It's all my fault. I have fucked up this. In my head, because they were at RTX,
Starting point is 00:25:57 and you could buy them at our convention, then they had already been out, and they had already existed. And I just have not been able to flip that switch in my head. Well, it kind of came at an unfortunate time where they were available in our store around the same time we were filming survive block island meltdown yeah so we're all busy doing something else and then by the time like that was such a an event to get through that by the time we finished that it just sort of I think slipped all of our minds for different reasons yeah i hope uh i hope we do a better job with this round of baseballs because we put some work into them today i'm sure we will and it sounds like all of the issues have been
Starting point is 00:26:32 sorted out with the store as far as release time goes yes i think so i think so oh cool here we go yeah so here's the the cup so you can see it has a twist oh it's like a sphinx and lid oh yeah you twist it and you seal it. That's the coolest thing I've ever seen. Well, that was part of my design. You get the fanning, you twist it, you can seal it. It's perfect. Andrew, you're brilliant.
Starting point is 00:26:59 I think I might be a little, like, maybe 10% cup genius. I don't think the other things are practical. It fits around the straw. You could tighten the straw. Yeah, I mean, I didn't even... That's an innovation I did not consider. But it's weird to come up with something and then see it actually executed in a way that is better than you could have imagined,
Starting point is 00:27:18 but it's still like the base idea is the same. I think you need to... Do we still have access to online law firms? I think that we should hire... We're going to... Hire our lawyer to sue the fuck out of TikTok. Sue TikTok for it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:32 Specifically that. It's an old system. What has happened with the Gurp layer? Have we sold those yet? Just talking about merch stuff. I'm excited for that. We're getting them made. They're being made.
Starting point is 00:27:43 I don't know what the status of them is, but I feel like it's just the same thing we always say, supply chain. It's harder to get manufactured. But yeah, we're definitely making Gerblers, and I anticipate the Gerbler being hopefully the all-time best-received, best-sold item the face has,
Starting point is 00:28:03 because I really do think that's a pretty smart spot, that gerbler. I think it's too useful. We haven't got them in our hands yet, Kevin. I feel like face nails useless crap, like a bat knob. What do you do with that?
Starting point is 00:28:21 What if we drill a hole in the bottom of every gerbler? No, I'm excited about using the Oh, 100%. What do you do with that? What if we drill a hole in the bottom of every Gerbler? No. No, I'm excited about using the Gerbler. You have to pay a monthly subscription for the plug to seal the hole. I feel like it will be fucked up in a way that we did not anticipate. Oh, for sure. I think that's locked in.
Starting point is 00:28:39 Like, there will be some issue with it. It'll be spelled right. It'll be like Grupple or something. Oh. some issue with it. It'll be spelled. It'll be like grubble or something. Well, just to round out baseballs, I just want to say I'm impressed, Jeff. You did a great job. It sounds like I'm
Starting point is 00:28:55 excited to see the products released. I honestly thought that you would have had a drop off because I've never done the baseball things. But as somebody who did
Starting point is 00:29:02 burgers multiple times, every time I did burgers, I felt like I lost a little bit of myself and each attempt after was a step back or it was more of a struggle. Even if I did better, like it just was a more difficult thing to get through. So the fact that you have only improved in your hitting, even though your body is in a worse state it's truly impressive well thanks man and I appreciate it I will admit that I was a bit afraid that I
Starting point is 00:29:31 overperformed because it was in front of my girlfriend and her parents the first time you know which a lot of pressure that could have like her parents could have walked away and been like you. You got to dump this
Starting point is 00:29:45 dude. He's fucking he can't hit a 45 mile an hour ball to save his life. And we had no beans waiting for us this time. No beans this time
Starting point is 00:29:54 either. So it wasn't it was affirming to get the feeling that it wasn't beginner's luck. I appreciate that.

No, you do you guys have anything else because i had one other thing i have one small thing but you could do yours first no you do your small thing well i okay i just i need to pull something for it so if you want to go first okay uh so i feel like everybody was excited about uh was really excited about the in-cap contest. And there was a lot of potential, a lot of possibility. And I thought it was a clever contest.
Starting point is 00:34:50 And I feel like it had been a while since we'd had something like that. And I think maybe that's part of what was so exciting about it. Having a good old face competition going on. And then it kind of fell flat because it turns out that Canada has wider in-caps than aisles, right? it would have been harder yeah to eat off the aisles
Starting point is 00:35:09 and ignore the in caps because all the useful shit is there yeah which also kind of makes sense if you think about it you go into a grocery store your your in caps are where all the important shit uh is in canada you don't even have to go down the aisles so fuck them uh it's just where all the bad cereal is i guess uh but i want to i want to in the spirit of competition i wanted to come up with something else that we could do and i was having a conversation with emily and she reminded me of of an actually i was reminded of an old uh rvb bit um that like a joke throwaway joke in rvb about griff eating uh based on the alphabet and then emily was like doesn't andrew have uh has that uh like bingo thing on his desk right do you still have the bingo machine where you can i do yeah it's in my closet here's what i propose what if we did a contest and it could be one of us.
Starting point is 00:36:05 It could be all three of us. I like the idea of it not being me. But where we put 26 balls numbered 1 through 26 into your bingo thing. Okay. And you pull one out. And whatever number you pull out, there's a letter associated with that number. A through Z, right? So you pull out the equivalent of the letter L.
Starting point is 00:36:26 Now, for the next week, you can only eat food that begins with the letter L. Oh, God. You could have some bad weeks. You could have a lot of baked Z. So, what's the... The goal would be to go through all 26, so this would be a
Starting point is 00:36:41 26-week thing? No, the goal would just be... It's just a random way to pick a letter. So we could just potentially pick three numbers, and we'll each take one, and that's our food for the week. Yeah, potentially, like, Gavin, you could get B, and you could be like, oh, it's burgers all week for Gavin,
Starting point is 00:36:56 and I could get X. Oh, B would be the best. I could get X and have to re-pull because there's no food that's X. You know, you could get C and be like, I guess I'm eating a lot of coconuts and chicken, you know? Cheese.
Starting point is 00:37:09 D, it's like, I hope I like dumplings. But you just, you're confined to anything that starts with that letter. Okay, so just, let's do an important qualifier here. Okay. If I pull C, can I have grilled chicken, or is that a G? Yeah, I pull C could I have can I have grilled chicken or is that a G
Starting point is 00:37:25 yeah I think C is chicken okay so any variation of it so if I had teriyaki chicken that's still just chicken the T doesn't matter yeah okay is that too easy there if you get a C it's pretty fucking easy it is
Starting point is 00:37:42 easy C is easy what are you gonna do with an N uh it's pretty fucking easy. It is pretty easy. C is an easy one. What are you going to do with an N? It's a lot of nigiri. What if... I think this is a fun idea. We could almost... New potatoes. There you go.
Starting point is 00:37:55 You could have... Yeah, sure. You could have nugs. I don't think you can. I don't think that counts. I really like this idea. I know you don't, you ideally didn't want to be involved with this, Jeff,
Starting point is 00:38:09 but I think it would be fun if we each had to pull like three numbers. No, I agree. I agree. What if we just do it for the weekend, this weekend? No, weekend is too easy. I think a full week. I think, and this is a thing
Starting point is 00:38:21 that we could come back to in the future. Yeah, I think like the next time we record, we pull our numbers. I love that idea. And then between that recording and the next one, we can show the pictures of all the food we ate. That's a fantastic idea. Yeah. Do we want to do a thing where we pick what letters are in the rotation? Each of us?
Starting point is 00:38:39 I think it's got to be all of them. You want to put all the letters in? I'm just, I like the idea of potentially us picking like oh i really want p pizza i could live off of pizza easily that'd be a great letter to have if i put it in wanting it for myself but then gavin pulls p there's something that's it do you are you're saying that we should have the ability to eliminate letters like all that's like yeah like rainbow six siege like you're like no nobody nobody can play to chonka this game uh we voted against it yeah like that kind of idea or it could just be all of them i just think there's a lot of choice we can make as far as how we select these letters and if we
Starting point is 00:39:16 want because nobody wants like an x yeah uh apparently there's i've found a list of 19 foods that start with the letter X. Oh, well there you go. What is one of them? Zalapa Punch. Okay. Uh, Xantham Gum. Oh. Xantham Gum, yeah. My favorite.
Starting point is 00:39:32 Oh, Xavier Soup. Oh, I love an Xavier Soup. Okay. Soup combines dumplings with chicken stock. That actually doesn't sound bad. Making a hearty and simple meal. That's great. Xavier Steak.
Starting point is 00:39:40 What's that? Dumplings and steak. Steak topped with Worcestershire sauce. Yeah. Steak topped with Worcestershire sauce. Yeah. hearty and simple meal. That's great. Yeah, that's not bad. Steak. What's that? Dumplings and steak.
Starting point is 00:39:48 Steak topped with Worcestershire sauce, asparagus, spears, Swiss cheese, and olive oil. That's less appealing, but that might be okay. Xiami? That sounds like a lot of Chinese food. Dried shrimp that have been sun-dried and shrunk to the size of a thumbnail. The shrimp are added to a variety of Asianian dishes and okay there's some stuff out there
Starting point is 00:40:08 if we were able to do it i'm gonna let you guys know now i'm banning like b or c i'm gonna ban the most common letters if we do the banning otherwise uh i say we just do the 26 letters okay do so we want to do full alphabet or do we want to do a thing where we we pick letters to be in the hopper i I think full alphabet. I don't know. I think full alphabet. Full alphabet? How is this a food? Xylitol is a chemical compound used in many foods.
Starting point is 00:40:33 Blah, blah, blah. It can be consumed by humans. It's highly toxic to dogs. You can't just have a cup of xylitol. Well, it sounds like you shouldn't. It sounds terrible. Well, it sounds like you shouldn't. It sounds terrible. Well, let's just fucking pray nobody gets Z. Well, like, I don't even know.
Starting point is 00:40:51 Like, foods that begin with U. What can you have? What about... So it has to be the food name. It can't be a restaurant, right? So if I thought of a U place, I couldn't eat anything from there. Unagi.
Starting point is 00:41:05 Unagi's good. I mean... eat anything from there no gee Who nag is good? I mean I oh god. This is brutal uh Does not get you You get to eat something called ugly fruit I Feel like we should have the whole alphabet in there and you get what you get. Some people might get very lucky. Yeah. Now. OK, so a variation of this, because let's say, as I said, if I get P, I could easily eat pizza every day of every I could go a month on pizza.
Starting point is 00:41:36 No problem. Yeah. Can you use is there like a cap on how many days you can use a letter for? Like if you put P down, is it worth two days of the week, and then you have to switch to something else? No, I think that overcomplicates it. Well, we're drawing... I think it's already kind of complicated.
Starting point is 00:41:52 Like, we're drawing balls for letters, and... But that's fair. I just feel like it'll be... Because that was the problem with the end caps, is that it wasn't funny because it was easy. If we all have one easy letter then i just that makes it funny though if someone gets a b and someone gets a q yeah like if if if gavin gets p for pizza and
Starting point is 00:42:14 i get b for burgers and andrew gets q and he's eating quince okay well what about the quail eggs let's simplify you have to eat something that is from each letter you have to use all your letters within the week what do you mean if we all we were pulling three letters each right no i thought we're only pulling one letter are we only pulling one letter we're pulling three letters total we each get one because there's three got it i thought we were each pulling that's where the confusion was i thought we were each pulling. That's where the confusion was. I thought we were each pulling three letters. Cause when you said it was already confusing, I was like,
Starting point is 00:42:48 I don't think it is. Yeah, no, I had worked this at a different, I thought we're going to pull like three letters each. And then you'd have a choice between those letters each day of what you can use. See,
Starting point is 00:43:00 cause I thought it would be like a tension thing where all fuck I pulled a Z in the first round. I'm begging for like a B, give me a c in round two that's what i thought in my head not that we each only have one to work with i got it okay i think one is funny i think what is funny unless by the way this is so for me because i'm with gavin i'm like is this complicated? I must be like rocket scientist. I'm really not having trouble. 26 less? What? No, it was not. I think I heard what you said
Starting point is 00:43:29 created a completely different, more convoluted game in my head and then was continuing off of that premise. It's very straightforward what you're saying. So we just have to apply. So will A be one? One A, two B, three C. I think like that, yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:44 Got it. 26 is Z. I think like that, yeah. Got it. 26 is Z. I'll get that set up for next time we record. And we'll use the English alphabet. That'll make the most sense. Yeah. Yeah. Can you guys think of an experience that was cool,
Starting point is 00:43:57 but was completely lost on you? It would be cool to a lot of other people, but you were like the wrong person to experience it. Oh, I've probably had a lot of those. Yeah you were like the wrong person to experience it oh i've probably had a lot of those yeah i'm trying to think of hmm like impressive are you thinking like you went vacationing somewhere or you saw like some i feel like landmarks for me recently i was just thinking i was trying to remember like all the stuff i've done in the last 10 years because i hit uh 10 years at rooster teeth i was like man we did a lot of stuff in that
Starting point is 00:44:25 time and like our mlb 2012 video which was i think the first let's play i was in after i came back was i looked at it and it was you know two million views or something and it just literally said 10 years ago like not nine it was like passed over to 10 i was like jesus i was thinking of some of the other stuff i did and's looking back through my phone. I was like, Oh wow. Yeah. I went to, uh, I went to like a late night talk show. And I remember before, like after I first moved here, I was watching more like talk show content. I'd see it pop up on YouTube more. I'd be like, and I was always confused. I always got Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel mixed up. And I just could never picture the right one in my head for for the longest time and then i remembered i went i went to the recording of one and i don't remember which
Starting point is 00:45:11 jimmy it was and i know i've been to one what was it what are the names the shows the late show well what's the other one uh i have no idea what their actual titles are the tonight show with jimmy fallon or uh i don't know the jimmy kimmel show i think it was yeah yeah and i just remember thinking like man i used to get them mixed up and now i can picture them in my head better but i i know that i went to see a recording and i have absolutely no idea which one it was and i'm just thinking like that wouldn't that that was an experience wasted on me like it was a cool experience but it i just took nothing away from it like i don't'm just thinking like, that was an experience wasted on me. Like, it was a cool experience, but I just took nothing away from it. Like, I don't
Starting point is 00:45:47 even know who I was seeing. And I was kind of embarrassed that I went, and that's the experience I've come away with. Just wasted on me. I would wager that like, half of the video game shit I've been to, like
Starting point is 00:46:03 premieres or like, launch events and stuff, it's just, like, at some point, they just kind of, like, I don't know, they just kind of all are the same thing. And you're like, this would probably be a really cool, like, E3. Like, after the second time you go to E3, you're like, man, this would be a lot of fun for somebody to come in my place who hasn't been before
Starting point is 00:46:22 because it's already, like, wearing thin pretty quickly with me, you know? Yeah yeah and there's definitely been some experiences for me where my cool experience was like an introduction to that game or to that genre and i'm not a fan of it at the time and then because of that experience i'll look into it and i'll get really into it and i'll become a fan of the thing that i was at before I was a fan and I'm like damn now I would ask all these different questions yeah you've experienced stuff in the wrong order sometimes I have that I have that with bands a lot or I used to I don't go to shows anymore but I would like see a band and not know who they were or have heard of them but not be into them like there's this band I really like now one of my favorite bands in my
Starting point is 00:47:01 life this band called hot water music and I saw them play live and they the lead singer got well there's two lead singers but one of them got so fucking drunk three songs in that he had to sit on the ground and prop himself up on a like a pole to continue singing and i was like this is fucking dog shit and these guys suck and then six months later i was the biggest fan of that band ever and there's been a lot of a lot of those where it's like i wish i could see them again and know the lyrics and to the songs and appreciate them you know yeah i'm trying to i'm sure i've had a lot of those nothing comes to mind i've had times where maybe i didn't understand the value of the experience necessarily exactly so like i had one where it was back
Starting point is 00:47:46 when I was just doing Achievement Hunter stuff behind the scenes. I went through a phase where I was trying to get early game copies for The Office and I had developed a contact at Sony and kind of became friends with them. Like very, that's, friends is a strong word, but we communicated and was friendly.
Starting point is 00:48:03 And then I got an email randomly saying that i was invited to playstation's behind the scenes e3 showcase that year and i had no plans on going to e3 it was back when roosterteeth would go to e3 and so i forwarded it forwarded it to trevor i believe i don't remember who i sent i sent to someone who's like hey i got invited to this thing do Do you want, like, do we want to cover this? Does somebody in the office want to go in my place?
Starting point is 00:48:28 Cause we have an invite. I just can't, I'm obviously not going. And it was like, yeah, sure. Well, we can reach out to them.
Starting point is 00:48:33 So then I emailed the PR person back at Sony and the vibe I got was very much like, no, we don't just give these away. We can't just, no, you can't just give your invite to somebody else. Like, I think they took it as like this very, uh, prestigious, like exciting thing to be part of that you would see these games.
Starting point is 00:48:49 And so for me to write back, cool, can I give this to somebody else? They were not thrilled with that response. And I never got a reply back on. It was essentially just, yeah, we do not like we're going to have to talk about if we're OK with this. And I never heard past that point but that is an experience where i just i thought it was like sort of an open invite type thing and i think it was more behind closed doors than i realized companies that value themselves very highly are incredibly easy to piss off yes i think i've learned
Starting point is 00:49:20 that is that is very true i have pissed off a few companies in my day uh yeah that's that's definitely true hey i realized something that we didn't talk about yet that we probably should fucking talk about it just completely slipped my mind uh we had our first office day oh yeah we did we had an office day to mention that yeah we and it was wildly successful i thought i thought it was a lot of fun i didn't really honestly know what to expect going into it i'm excited for the next one because i feel like i have a better idea for it and uh i can plan more accordingly yeah so like the way it worked is we, you know, I had this idea. I presented it to y'all.
Starting point is 00:50:06 Y'all loved it. Eric took it to face jam, another podcast on a network. They did it first and then bragged constantly about how successful it was and how they came up with a bunch of new shows. And so, but I thought put a lot of pressure on us. Oh,
Starting point is 00:50:19 definitely. A hundred percent. And I, I'm sure nobody else on earth felt the pressure, but us, the three of us and probably Gavin didn't feel it at all
Starting point is 00:50:27 but I certainly did like these motherfuckers took our idea and they're gonna do it better than us now we gotta we gotta outperform I just think you're
Starting point is 00:50:33 a cooler customer I don't think you're affected by stuff I'm so nervous about this show did I tell you about the freak out I had a couple of weeks ago
Starting point is 00:50:40 no you know like when you when you have a little bit of anxiety and you wake up from something that usually you'd be able to fall back asleep to but instead your brain just starts thinking in insane loops i woke up extremely worried about how i couldn't put my finger on the fact that this show i couldn't i couldn't figure out why this show works i was like we're making it and it's good and i don't know how we're doing it because i couldn't like put it into words like what what's working about it like what are the
Starting point is 00:51:16 pitfalls to avoid how like when is it gonna become shit and like people don't like it anymore i can't believe it's still all right i'm just freaking out oh man well i it's terrible i love how passionate you are about this this uh show and um i uh i share your trepidation and your fears i've constantly constantly i'm nervous about about face uh it really does feel like somehow we captured lightning in a bottle and i honestly it's best just not to think about it i if at all possible but but to go back i certainly wasn't trying to insult you in any way that you don't care about face i just feel like you're you're just a cooler customer you're more unflappable you know like you're harder to get under your skin about this
Starting point is 00:51:59 kind of stuff you know what it felt like to me jeff what's that with the eric thing in the face it would be like if we had just invented basketball and he immediately showed us steph curry it's like we just had this basic idea of how this could work and then it might be beneficial and immediately like oh yeah no we did amazing we did all these amazing things he's like yeah i really liked the whole idea where you put the ball in the basket here's a windmill dunk yeah yeah meanwhile we're trying to put the ball in the basket here's a windmill dunk yeah yeah meanwhile we're trying to staple the hoop to the back wheel exactly how do you make a how do you make a ball out of paper uh so but let's run through it so we had it and um i felt very good about it uh we
Starting point is 00:52:40 agreed to be at work at a certain time and then we zoomed in, Andrew. I got there a little early. I grabbed a whiteboard and first off, by the way, there was some subtle whiteboard aggression going on that I feel like I got to call out. Well, you talked about it in Sausage Talk. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:02 Well, never mind. I won't talk about it because you'll have to listen to Sausage Talk. We should probably talk about, never mind. I won't talk about it because you'll have to listen to sausage talk. We should probably talk about what that is. So grab the whiteboard, wrote down a bunch of ideas for like merch and thought starters and just like directions we want to go.
Starting point is 00:53:15 Things that are like dangling, shit that's dangling out there that we need to like tie a bow on and figure out. And then everybody came in and we sat around. Well, first off, Gavin showed up a little later. Eric and Andrew and I had the funniest conversation I've ever had i don't remember what it was but i just remember thinking like we got to stop talking because this is immediately content i remember what it is i actually have it in my notes for a thing to talk about because it's a topic that
Starting point is 00:53:39 i've had you you and eric unknowingly put a whole different angle on a thought I previously had that I've talked to Gavin about. I feel like being able to see a place and this kind of sounds counterproductive, but being able to see a place makes me want to visit it more than if we were in a time period in which that thing would just have to be described. And my example of this is, you know, in greece where it's like all the the white houses and like the blue roofs yeah like to see that visually beautiful if you met somebody who traveled all that way let's say they had to like take a boat like this is planes maybe not around in a world in which travel is difficult they went there came back and tried to explain why you needed to go there's no way they could sell me on it yeah white houses and blue i could do that like i could i just paint my house there there's nothing
Starting point is 00:54:29 impressive about that so i was gonna it made me wonder how far would i be willing to travel for something like that and honestly probably not more than four blocks i wouldn't go further it's gonna take a lot if you just describe a landmark to, it's gonna be very difficult for me to be willing to leave my city to see it. But what about this? What about this? I'm just... Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:54:52 There was a... Maybe... Okay, so when Jeff and I were in Belgium, we went through an alleyway that was the best smelling alleyway we'd ever smelt. Honored. Probably some waffles. This is like an old story from the old podcast. How far would you travel to smell the best alleyway
Starting point is 00:55:07 that you've ever smelled i've had some probably my life i've got it no i don't know about that food is definitely more of a needle mover for me a hundred percent but i'm thinking like it smells pretty goddamn good outside my hubby's bagel sometimes like i don't i don't feel like i'm like you got good you got good smells i feelel sometimes. I don't feel like I'm needing that. You got good smells. I feel like I got good smells in my area. I'm telling you, this would blow it out of the water. Yeah, he's not kidding, dude. I still think about it sometimes without hyperbole.
Starting point is 00:55:36 That'd be silly. It was unreal. And it might have been the most satisfied I've ever been in my life in a moment was in that alleyway just looking left and looking right and it smelled just as good in both directions and I can't even put into words the smell of this
Starting point is 00:55:56 old world mixed with waffle mixed with whatever the fuck else is in Belgium I would fly there again just to go to that alleyway. I feel like my heart could smell it. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:10 Yeah. You weren't even smelling it with your nose, right? You were smelling it with your, you were smelling it with your spirit. Yeah. I would go there. So has that moved the needle beyond four blocks for you? I would, I would go to the next town over to smell that alleyway. I'm not leaving my province or state, but I would go one town over for over to smell that alleyway. I'm not leaving my province or state,
Starting point is 00:56:27 but I would go one town over for that. That sounds pretty good. You're also a person who doesn't like going downstairs, so I feel like that's pretty good. Not necessarily. I'm open to it. I just need an experience that moves me.
Starting point is 00:56:39 That sounds moving. I could go there. Once the stairs... Also, you're creating an additional hurdle. Once I get past the stairs, I'm willing to go wherever. It's just that you need to convince me to go through the stairs. No, I'll go way beyond that. But what got it changed, what I had never considered,
Starting point is 00:56:57 and this is what was so fucking funny. I don't remember what it was called, but Eric was showing Jeff what these, it was like a type of long dog. It a dog breed that is so weird especially eric loves those the he's a big fan of the long dogs and it turned into a conversation of like what if your point of reference for animals was was very simplistic and being like seeing a giraffe and being like you would not believe the fucking dog i saw it was so goddamn long you would not believe the fucking dog I saw. It was so goddamn long. You would not believe the neck on this horse. I would travel the globe if somebody described to me an animal that they encountered that I could see. If they were like, you will not believe this fucking horse and it's a giraffe, I'm all in about that.
Starting point is 00:57:37 That moves me. I'd travel wherever for that. That's what it was. Eric just tried to describe how to describe an elephant to somebody who's never heard of or seen an elephant before. And you're like, no, trust me. It's as big as a house.
Starting point is 00:57:48 It's as big. And it's gets nose touches the ground and it's ears. It's ears are like, it's ears. The size of three men standing next to each other. And you'd be like, you're fucking crazy. That doesn't exist.
Starting point is 00:58:00 Andrew, how far would you travel travel to see a chair? It was an animal that looked exactly like a wooden chair. Imagine like the first, the cheapest chair in The Sims, but it was like a sentient creature. How far would you go to see that?
Starting point is 00:58:16 Walking around, eating. Oh, we're going on a boat. I don't care if we got to cross the globe. I'm getting on a boat for that. I will go to a different part of the world to see the chair animal. A hundred percent. I will be so mad.
Starting point is 00:58:30 The entire time I'm on the boat, I'll be like, Jim better not have fucking lied about what this animal is. I'm going to be so goddamn mad. I make it to Ireland and there's no goddamn chair animals. Well, I think that the fear we had
Starting point is 00:58:43 on that office day morning that what we were creating was content was founded because this was clearly content. We just say like a half an hour into the thing, we decided just to record what we were talking about and kind of in the spirit
Starting point is 00:58:59 of Eric's job. Supplemental. Supplemental that we. That we made, where it was just Eric trying to schedule us for 26 minutes. So we recorded about an hour and 15 minutes of us just like office talk.
Starting point is 00:59:11 And we called it, we decided that like, this is either going to be episode, the next episode of F*** Face, or it's going to be its own show. I think it was different enough to be its own show. But we described it as like
Starting point is 00:59:24 a peer behind the veil or like, uh, getting to see how the sausage is made. And then Gavin didn't understand that reference. So it became sausage talk. And so I think we've got a new show coming out at some point called sausage talk. That's just us talking about like,
Starting point is 00:59:40 I guess the behind the scenes shit. Yeah. It's, it's a weird thing. Cause I don't think it was necessarily all that funny, but I think it's an interesting insight into it's also the very first production meeting we've ever had for face anything. Yes.
Starting point is 00:59:56 Kind of fun that that was recorded. We didn't want it to be an episode of face just because we got the disadvantage of we're all in the same room except for Andrew. Yeah, I remember going home from that and remembering the name sausage talk and i was trying i was trying to remember the phrase that it came from because i kept forgetting it and i was like what was it it's like peek behind the sausage i just couldn't remember and i was like trying to apply sausage to all these like you'd have to move a sausage to see what was uh so anyway I don't know when it's coming out. It may already be out.
Starting point is 01:00:26 It may be out before this episode. That's actually a great point. Yeah. But there is supplemental content either that just hit or that's coming called Sausage Talk. I guess we'll record one
Starting point is 01:00:35 every Office Day, so once a month. So there'll be 12 of those a year. Unless we're using Office Day for something like the pizza video or... Or hitting baseballs or whatever.
Starting point is 01:00:44 Or MVP, which is coming, I think, next week. Oh, no, it's not because... day for something like the pizza video or hitting baseballs or whatever or like or MVP which is coming I think next week actually oh no it's not because it was meant to be tomorrow but then we realized that big Uno stream is tomorrow yeah so also
Starting point is 01:00:59 we promised at some point in face that y'all would do a like your recap of your experience of survive Black Island together. And so after we filmed Sausage Talk, episode one, volume one, year one, we filmed that. And I'll say no more about that other than it was. I think it went about five minutes. Was that interesting at all? Because I felt very in my own head about that.
Starting point is 01:01:22 I wasn't sure if I was clear at all. I think it's convoluted that. No, no, I think it is and i think eric felt it was very interesting and i think because i asked him the same question uh because you and i like the three of us were like involved in the production so we were pretty in the weeds with it and you it's kind of hard to have perspective sometimes we were pretty we were deep in the sausage we were we were we were knee deep in the sausage weeds and Eric assured me that it was pretty good. I do think that we wrapped it up at about the right time. I do feel like if it had gone on much longer
Starting point is 01:01:52 it would have started to drag. I feel like it is one of the few things we've made as this F*** Face team where it wouldn't stand alone as a piece of content. You actually need to have seen Survive Block Island, I think. And if you listen to it every every
Starting point is 01:02:08 second of that series will be spoiled so make sure you watch it first if you have any interest in watching it yeah i only have one regret from that recording there's one thing i should have brought up that i completely forgot about but maybe we'll talk about that later talk about it next sausage you could do an you could do an add
Starting point is 01:02:23 on a little pickup. Nah, I don't think it's worth... It's like a weird... It's weird that we didn't mention it, but not worth it being an add-on. I'll talk to you about it after we record. All right. All right.
Starting point is 01:02:35 Speaking of, should we stop? Yeah, I guess we should wrap up. This was fun. This was a really relaxed, nice hour. It was really great catching up with the two of you. It was. Eric got off lightly by not being here because, unfortunately, especially if it didn't like to happen, nice hour. It was really great catching up with the two of you. I'm glad that Eric got off lightly by not being here because
Starting point is 01:02:45 unfortunately, especially in light to happen, Extra Medium was going to come up again based on some stuff I've read in the comments of this podcast. So thanks to all the comment leavers who have filled me in over something he was saying on FaceJam and we will be taking that up with him
Starting point is 01:03:02 in the next recording. Dude, I'm excited because I have no idea what it is but I do know that Eric is fucking over the extra medium talk which only makes me want to dive deeper into it oh it's so good and I guess this will be the last one of these
Starting point is 01:03:17 we record for because we're not doing next week right but we'll do the following week yeah I believe that's correct I'm going to do two I imagine I assume so. Love you both dearly. Gavin, have a fantastic vacation. Thank you. Andrew, I hope you don't have to travel
Starting point is 01:03:32 as far as four blocks if you don't want to. And we'll see you guys next time on... Face. Bye. That felt weird. The bye felt weird. That was a weird bye. That was a weird bye gavin typically goes bye and then i think to myself i should say bye but i never say anything you said as if you
Starting point is 01:03:53 would you were just sitting down in a lounger it sounded guttural to me it was it was it was low it was guttural you're right i was like i'm gonna just shut up it's like i think here's what that buy was your dad goes to work all day long he works in a factory he comes home he's no fucking fun at the end of the day he sits down he's eating his dinner and you're and your mom is like i'm gonna go play bingo or with my friends and he's like bye and he like raises him like i don't give a fuck get out i'm so fucking done with these people. I would apply that to some... Remember, Jeff, when we would record an entire Let's Play and then the power would go out and we'd lose every
Starting point is 01:04:30 single piece of footage and then we'd have to sit down again to record it immediately? It was a buy from that sort of mindset. Can I try it again? Can I try to do a different, a proper Gavin buy? Yeah, let's have a redemption. In the moment redemption. Why are you making this about me?
Starting point is 01:04:45 Because you have a very distinctive bye. I'm going to try to hit it. By the way, you're very self-conscious this episode, buddy. You're a lot more like... Boy! Well, you stepped over Gavin's laugh. Try it again. Bye!
Starting point is 01:04:58 Is that a little loud? Is that good? I'll be honest. Because of Discord, I'm only hearing... Yeah, the beginning is getting cut off. Okay, so I'm going to talk a little bit, and then I'm going to immediately... Bye! Well, that sounds like...
Starting point is 01:05:11 That is like you're crossing the road, and a car has come up the curve a little bit, and you're like... And they're going very fast, and all you can hear is, Bye! I give up. I surrender. Goodbye! Bye! Stop, dude! Don't do it that way! It's weird! I give up. I surrender. Goodbye. Stop, dude. Don't do it that way.
Starting point is 01:05:29 It's weird. It's creeping me out. Bye-bye. Bye. Now, that was a weird one. Really? Who is? No.
Starting point is 01:05:38 It's fine. Hey, guys. Major League Fan Jack here with a look at next week's episode of F*** Face. Once again, the guys couldn't be bothered to record an episode, so here are some predictions. The hockey teeth are fixed. Where did we put the tuxedo? Jeff hurt himself whacking balls. Gavin isn't here anymore.
Starting point is 01:05:55 Hinton is well on his way to half a million. Eric is flustered. And once again, Andrew does not eat the pencil. All that and more on next week's episode of F*** Face.
