Hello and welcome to another piece of regulation supplemental content.
This is a draft.
This is, I'm excited.
I was before, about three minutes ago, I was excited about this one.
Then we started recording.
This is the bird, not bird draft.
Gavin, joke aside, I have no idea.
I'm sorry?
No cause.
Like a call, like a bird.
I'm saying no birds, no birds.
Got it, got it, got it, got it.
Okay.
Birds call.
Yep, there you go.
Or just cause.
Andrew brings up.
Excellent point. Birds do caw.
Some cockle-doodle-do.
Yeah, there you go.
Today we will be drafting birds that are not birds,
as I was saying earlier before I got caught.
I genuinely don't know who, Gavin, joke aside,
I don't know who came up with this idea, so I can't credit.
I mean, I'm going to credit Gavin for it, but, you know.
I think it was you?
I want to say?
No.
Who wants to go first?
How this works?
it out are you have no is there really carbon monoxide in this room no no i know how it works i know
how it works i'm just curious if anybody wants to go first does anybody like have picks that are like
burning a hole in their pockets guys i think what's happening is that jeff isn't a bad mood and we need
to try our hardest to pull him out of his bad mood dude dude i was born in a good mood yeah guys
i think i think jeff's just got he's in this oh he's like we got here and he's like i think i've
been sucking a tailpipe or new smoking like carbon monoxide and
And it's like, oh, poor guy.
But now it's time for birds that aren't birds.
And the way we do that is using Sean Baer's website,
the way that we always do our drafts.
And nobody essentially goes first when they say, hey, I want to go first.
We randomize a certain amount of time.
Of course, that's how we do it.
But sometimes people want to go first or don't want to go first.
Like, I didn't want to go first.
See, I'm sorry, Jeff, I'm sorry about your move.
But you got to, Jeff, you got to pull it together for this thing.
level of gas lighting going on
in my office right now. Nonsense.
I'm agreeing. I'm not in the office, so.
Is there a bird
that has a number as a part of its name?
I don't know. All I know
is regardless of where I draft, I'm flying
high in this one. I'm sorry. I might
not be a bird, but I'm going to fly, I'm going to hit
some peaks in this draft. I'm ready.
How many times do we want to random it?
I feel like Andrew keeps stopping
the conversation to be like, here's kind of a bird
pun, but it's not really a pun.
No, that was just a statement. I'm
I'm getting in the bird zone.
I don't know where you guys are,
but I'm focusing on a top-down view
of what these not birds are.
Oh, I got it, Tukin.
So we'll do it two times.
Okay.
Okay, well, we start with an egg order.
We randomize one time.
It's Andrew, Eric, Jeff, Nick Gavin.
So that means the second time, two for two can.
Jeff!
Oh, damn it.
Andrew Knit, Eric Gavin.
He's lost twice.
Jeff, you don't want to go first?
I definitely didn't want to go first.
I was wondering if anybody did want to go first.
He summoned it into the universe.
Yeah, you should have said something.
All right, hold on.
Let me look through all of my birds.
Well, they're not birds.
I'm going to pick the best.
They're not, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff.
They're not birds.
Yeah, they're not birds.
You shouldn't be looking through your list of birds.
That doesn't make any sense.
I'm going to go with, for my first pick, on the bird not bird draft.
My number one pick, the Millennium Falcon.
Whoa.
He's going with a spaceship from Star Wars.
This is going to be a weird one.
See what I mean about Andrew this morning?
No, I'm high energy.
What do you mean?
Came in odd.
People love the Falcon.
The Millennium one specific.
I don't know if there are other Falcons.
I haven't seen it.
But they like the Millennium Falcon.
That's Han Solo's thing, right?
But that's my pick.
Andrew.
It's your turn.
I'm not talking about the one.
Millennium Falcon, that is Han Solo's thing, is it not?
If you want to talk about the Millennium Falcon, next time you could draft it.
I didn't have a chance.
Yeah, Jeff, Jeff drafted the Millennium Falcon to not talk about it.
I don't want to talk about this fucking spaceship.
Yeah, it's a spaceship from Star Wars.
Yeah, okay.
I hadn't seen it.
I was just trying to get more info.
I like the ship.
It's an iconic ship.
You know, it wasn't on my board.
I didn't even get to see it, Jeff.
I think it was a great pick.
Fantastic.
Me, now going second because I went second on the thing.
We randomized it twice and I ended up second.
I am going on.
I don't understand what you mean what's going on.
I'm sitting up my pick.
Yeah, I'm great.
I feel like I'm the only good one here at the moment.
Everyone else.
You do.
Pothing that weird office gas.
I don't know what's happening over there.
With the second overall pick in this draft,
my bird, not bird, is none other than the one,
the only the great
Spike Video Game Award winner
Tony Hawk
Tony Hawk
An outstanding bird
nickname the bird man
The Birdman
The Birdman, yeah
Huge part of my childhood
Those games were iconic
It brought skate culture
To a mainstream
in a way that it hadn't been before
And it is just such a
A fun culture to experience
Everything about those games
tech deck dudes at the time
like all of it I feel like can be traced
to influence by Tony Hawk
just seems like a
genuinely good dude
so my pick is Tony Hawk
how do you guys feel about Tony Hawk
I like that too because he flies
he does fly I feel like he's been drafted
multiple times across our drafts at this point
you think he's been drafted multiple times
yeah I wonder what the most drafted entity
in across our drafts is
and it might be him that's a great
great point but I wanted to make this special
I realized that with bird not bird, this allows a rare opportunity.
And also, you know, I take these drafts seriously.
I take my position in them seriously.
These are things, these are important drafts that we do.
It means something to be picked in one of these drafts.
So, accepting as a great selection in the bird not bird draft is none other than one.
Tony Hawk, allow me to share my screen.
Oh, okay
He's sharing his screen now
Sharing my screen
Here we go
Okay
Okay
Media player
Well I have a full screen
Okay
I see it
Good to go
Yeah
Here we go
Tony Hawk
Making an acceptance speech
Of being
One of the great
One of the great numbers
Andrew
What's up
It's Tony Hawk
Hey I
First of all
I want to thank you
For choosing me
As your first pick
in your bird not bird draft
What would you have done if I'm not sure I understand the entire concept of it
But I believe that
Like I'm a bird because it's hawk
And but I'm not really a bird
Is that is that it?
I mean that's pretty basic
And maybe I did get it after all
But I have always strived to live up to my last name
Hawk
It didn't seem like the coolest name when I was a kid
Because it rhymes with something else
a certain vulgarity
for a body part, male.
And Tony Ryan
so you can figure that at yourself
how I got teased when I was a kid
and it was the 80s and people
were bullying and
so there you go, that's my
I never made that connection.
I came too.
You're like Tony Hawk as a kid
by calling him Tony Cock, that sucks.
It wasn't that funny.
He doesn't deserve that.
And so I still strive to be like a hawk.
We're bringing birds here.
We are.
Bird, not bird.
yet
pretty soon
and if anyone
is listening
out there
and you have a
skateboard
and you're not a bird
do a kickflip
and there we go
hell yeah
that was incredible
Jeff what else
did they call people
in the 80s
to make fun of them
you know it was so long ago
who can remember
who could know
who can remember
I'm sure
I'm sure I wouldn't know
I feel like he picked up
on the concept immediately
instantly
he instantly got it
he talked
It made sense to him.
He understood.
He's on top of things.
He told us about how he was bullied.
To answer your question, Jeff, I would have been fucked.
I was very worried about it.
I got news free, Andrew.
It was between Millennium Falcon and Tony Hawk.
I think Millennium Falcon because it was it was further up the list.
When you said, who wants to draft first?
Internally, I was screaming.
Me.
Ah, see, this is why you asked the question.
Yes.
Is this also why we delayed recording this?
It is.
Well, to be fair, that's it.
Oh, that totally makes sense.
So that was part of the way, but also we were supposed to record like six things that day.
So I was like, we could move this.
So yes, that was that was why I asked to have it delayed.
Coming together.
Yep.
Well, Tony Hawk is the second pick, but we go to Nick.
Big Nick energy.
Or the third pick in the first round of the bird not bird draft.
With my first pick, a much simpler pick, a much easier.
easier less no no i'm afraid not and no spaceship either i'm going with duck as in the act
of ducking to get down to go low crazy to stay out of the way that's a good pick that is truly
that is truly an excellent picnic awesome i think i'm really i'm really proud of you for picking that
one that's awesome that's that's not even on my list didn't even consider it that's incredible
Didn't even think of these.
Amazing.
No.
And a fortunate last word for some.
Last thing they ever heard.
Wow.
Duck is such a good one.
Like,
I didn't even think of birds as a verb.
No.
That's an interesting thought process.
But I will say,
I thought of birds is a game.
That's why I'm not even waiting.
I'm drafting chicken.
Oh,
there's no words.
You're going to go with that.
As soon as Nick said,
duck, I changed my whole order.
Oh, no.
Chicken is in.
Chicken's in.
You're going head to head.
You're playing chicken?
Duck.
I thought that you were going with a different game that uses Nick's word.
No, no.
There's a lot of bird-related games I'm learning.
Yeah, yeah, this is duck and chicken.
I like that if you looked at this,
it looks like two guys who got what this was and two guys who didn't.
I think Tony Hawk.
I'm going to be a hot.
This is a great first set of four picks.
I feel like there's a lot of pressure on Gavin.
Yeah.
I'm going in at this one.
Gavin, Gavin, Gavin, did you get what this is?
Yeah, don't.
Gavin, you got two picks back to back to figure it out, too.
How do you feel?
My first pick is women.
This is, this is a part.
This might be an all-timer first round.
British slang sort of old-fashioned,
uh, slightly, well, sexist slang.
for a woman.
I feel like drafting it as women and not bird slang is crazy.
I'm fucking crying.
Wait, wait, wait.
You think my pick should just be birds.
Bird?
Yeah, I do.
Because that's what it is.
I got laid down.
Okay.
But...
I know it means...
I know what you're saying is what it means, but it just...
Speaking of not getting it, looking at the board, it looked crazy.
look crazy.
Yeah, but not, but then all of my...
Would it be this?
All of my picks will be bird, and then in brackets my actual pick.
They're different things.
I like how Eric just had it.
I think that...
Yeah, I think that's fine.
I want Gavin to...
I want Gavin to have what Gavin wants.
That's true.
It should be what he wants.
I just think it looks crazy.
I just assumed he said women, because women can be birds or chicks or like there's multiple
bird names.
Oh, I see.
Associated, so he was like encompassing all of them.
I would like to just change it to woman.
Singular.
Yeah, it's bird.
Not bird, not birds, not birds.
What?
I think that came out actually correct, but it sounded like.
Yeah, it sounded crazy, but I think you got it insane.
That's awesome.
Oh, fuck.
Oh, shit, dude.
This is Millenni Falk and Tony Hawk duck chicken woman.
Sounds like a Donald Trump, like, Alzheimer's test that he repeats back in public.
I hasted, Melody Falkin, Tony Hawk, Duck, Chicken Woman.
I get the highest score they've ever had.
Oh, fuck. Gavin, how are you going to top that going into our next round?
Well, my next pick is pink.
It's got a giant mouth blowhole for eggs.
It's Burdo.
It's a great one.
I don't really understand Burdo.
It was like a bad guy at first, and now, I don't know.
Yeah, and now they play tennis and golf.
and stuff with, like, Luigi and everyone.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I also don't know what Berto is.
Berto? Yeah, it's not like a Yoshi,
but it feels like it's in the same lineage.
It feels like Yoshi and Berto are boyfriend, girlfriend,
but I have nothing to back that up.
It feels like that in the same way where dogs are boys and cats are girls.
Oh, yeah.
You know what I mean?
I get it.
Yeah, it's just like a gut feeling.
I remember I looked into this before.
Who's Berto dating?
One second.
There is a whole...
It was Yosh.
Rule 34, who is Burdo dating?
Careful.
Yeah, I guess it's Yoshi.
I guess the two of them.
Got a sick.
Oh, all right.
Oh, is that right?
Apparently.
Oh, all right.
Well, hey, congratulations on your relationship.
I mean, he lays the eggs and then Berto sucks him down.
There we go.
Oh, I don't, I just don't like that.
Oh, that's terrific.
Yeah, I just don't like that.
That's why I never had an egg.
Don't want to deal with that?
That's why you never had an egg?
You thought it might be a Yoshi?
My, guys, guys, guys, I don't know where this can be.
Might be a Yoshian.
This can be a Yoshi.

I got to give a shout out to our friend Blaine for throwing a bunch of ideas around when I told
him about this.
He got really excited about the bird not bird draft.
Monty and Balkan was on his list
but this is one that was eye-opening to me
and I really liked it.
It's Robin Williams.
Oh, that's great.
He got really excited,
hit me with Robin Williams,
and I went, that's going on my list.
That is such a good one.
Yeah, Robin Williams is such a good pick for this.
Definitely not what you think of.
Until he said that,
I never thought about Robin Williams' name being Robin.
Sure.
Like, people just call, hey, what's up, Robin?
Like, that's weird.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't like that.
He is a full name guy.
Yeah, oh, big time.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's a Matt, Damon, Fred Durst kind of.
You gotta say the whole thing.
You have to.
Oh, it's Matt, it's Matt, Fred, and Robin.
Oh, God.
I hate that.
It's George Clooney's name is George.
Fuck.
Do you have a favorite Robin Williams movie, Eric?
Does anything mean to mind?
No, I think the one that I think of with him is probably Goodwill hunting.
But also, like, close second is Jack.
Which is very weird that that's, like, the movie that I jump on him with.
Interesting.
Yeah, very strange.
Very weird premise, but good for him, I guess.
Do you have a favorite, Andrew?
No, not really.
Like, what immediately comes to mind is hook for me, but I don't love that movie.
But that's like, it's good, but, oh, I don't like that movie at all.
Oh, really?
Yeah, I really don't like that movie.
If you've never seen the world according to Garf, I recommend it.
I'm going to my list.
Robin Williams, on the board, but we go to Nick with his second round pick.
Well, I like to be consistent.
And with my second pick, I'm going with ducking, which is in escape, the act or means of getting or keeping away from something undesirable.
Now, you said Eric in the first round that it looked like half the people that got it and half that didn't.
Is it safe to say that part of that half has lost the plot by the second round?
I don't understand.
You picked the same.
Is this an espresso, espresso with tea situation?
This is different.
You can argue the coffee thing all you want.
It's the same word, but it's also not a bird, and it's another act of something.
Duck and ducking.
Isn't this the same act?
It's the same act.
It's the same verb origin word.
Sure.
You duck up there and down here you're ducking.
Yeah, well, the duck get low is my first one.
This is the different definition of it, which is to avoid something.
Tune for Nick's third and fourth picks.
Ducked and ducks.
That's undesirable, like the disgraceful ducking of your duties to your family.
To escape.
But that's what duck is.
All right, I'll change it.
I don't think you have to change it.
I'm not fighting against it.
No, no, no, no, no.
It's like, you know what?
It's the audience.
You're going to have the answer to you.
The crow's nest.
I feel like your hand was off the piece there.
Well, it sounds like it was a legal move, so we'll go with the crows.
crow's nest. We like pirates. Pirates are cool. Get in the crow's nest. Look out.
Now, you know what I like to do in the crow's nest is some classic ducking.
Like this. Two different definitions. Oh, goodness. You argued for ducking so much until you just went,
that's enough. And moved on. I give up. Crow's nest.
Andrew, do you have another cameo for us? Oh, man. Andrew, what's your, what's your next pick?
with my second pick in the bird not bird draft there's a lot we could pick from so many great
options off the board already like crow's nest or burdo or robin williams and all those are
all second round picks as well i am going with a second round pick that i would be surprised was on
anybody's draft board but i think it is such a a connection to this show developed long history
my pick in the second round
is none other than the name
Cheyne, which
means
Falcon. That's right. It means
Falcon. That is such a crazy
coincidence. But isn't that a bird? No, it's a name.
It's a person's name
which means you could pick the guy.
You want me to pick the guy? I mean, it makes
more, you're just picking a different name for the name
otherwise. Okay. I'll pick the guy.
because the name, I guess, is a bird, but it's not a bird.
Well, I mean, it's just the word, isn't it?
I feel like you're ducking away from this.
I'm not ducking at all.
I'm standing tall.
You can have the word Cheyenne, I guess, if that's what you want.
It just, it seems strange.
That's what I have on my board, but if you guys would rather it be the person, that's okay too.
I'm happy with whatever.
That is my pick.
And of course, as I said, these are important awards.
These are important things.
I'll be sharing my screen.
Once again.
For second, accepted speech by none other.
And the pencil judge, the man himself, Cheyenne DeVari.
But he knows what this is, right?
Like, he kind of, like, understands what's happening here.
Tony Hawk doesn't know what the fuck it is.
He's just checking a box.
I explained everything the same way to both these people and the results.
That seems like the wrong way to do this.
Here we go.
I'm going live.
Okay.
He's speech from Cheyenne.
thank you so much thank you everybody on behalf of all shaheen's for best bird not bird i want to mention
our fellow nominees raven simone you could have predicted the future but you couldn't have predicted
this cardinal b i love your music you top the charts baby but tonight we talked you a little bit
here hadn't we didn't we tony hawk you sore above us all
be one of my own personal heroes,
which makes it so much more meaningful
that we clipped your wings here
tonight. And of course, I would
be remiss if I didn't mention
Atticus Finch. You taught us
about justice. And I hope.
He's doing it. He's a pot of the draft.
He's drafted. He's drafted. He's drafting.
He just made his draft. No.
I have to remove something from mine. That I am
justice. And I'm
going to use this moment, and I don't want
to make it political, but I'm going to use this moment
to plead for
justice. We
need Andrew Pantone
to please
eat the fucking
pencil.
If for no other reason
then so the regulation
podcast listeners will leave me alone
about the pencil.
Please.
Thank you.
Incredible.
I love this guy.
That is.
I'm floored. I'm floored.
That was
That was incredible.
He made,
he made like a full draft list.
He did a whole list.
That's crazy.
Check out his website,
chainedivari.com.
Why the hell is he?
What the fuck was that?
I don't know.
He was a ceremony.
I have no clue where he was for that.
But he also streams on TikTok every Monday, 530.
Check it out.
Incredible.
That was so good.
Andrew,
what a pick and what a cameo.
Absolutely.
For that pick.
That wasn't even,
that was just a favor.
I just reached out and asked and he was down.
Oh, that's awesome.
Way to go.
Um, well, Jeff, you have a something, a high standard to live up to here.
As you have two picks in a row.
How do you fucking follow that up, right?
Well, I don't have a cameo for you.
I didn't call it any favors.
I'm going to do a very jeffy niche pick for this one.
I went wide, I cast a wide net with Millennium Falcon.
That was my, uh, that was my gift to the audience instead of being, uh, the way I would normally do it.
Uh, which is this.
I'm going to pick one of the rarest vehicle.
on earth. I am going to pick Elvis's own
Stutes Blackhawk. They only made about 250 of them.
Oh, wow. He got the very first one ever made. It's an
incredibly rare and expensive car. It was basically a bespoke
car in the 70s. Only people like Elvis and Al Pacino had them
and it is a work of art. I'm looking at it. I've never seen one of these.
Whoa, this is cool. That's a cool
body on that car
that looks like such a throwback
to what old cars look like
but also like what a Rolls Royce
is like yeah
how strange that's fucking cool
I've never heard of this brand
yeah I've never heard of that
yeah it wasn't around for very long
it's like somebody
took the Monopoly car and made it cool
yes that's exactly Andrew
Andrew that's exactly what it looks like
it's exactly what it looks like that's awesome
Elvis was obsessed with that car
oh I bet the great car
Well, Jeff, that's a great car to round out our second round.
But you have the first pick in our third round of the bird not bird draft.
What do you got?
I am going to go for my third pick.
I was actually going to make it my fourth pick.
I'm a little scared that somebody else is going to get it.
And so I want to get it off the board before anybody else has the opportunity to.
I am going to pick maybe the most important bird in the world to me.
That is the protected by Falcons tier from our Patreon.
Oh, you drafted our supporters.
I drafted our audience.
our wonderful, heartfelt, supportive audience.
Wow.
That is a great one.
I didn't even think about that.
What an incredible pick.
Good pick.
What incredible.
The Falcons themselves have made this list.
If you are protected by Falcons on Patreon,
you're on this draft.
Yeah.
We do a monthly event for the Falcons
and it's always so much fun doing those things.
I mean, the whole community is amazing,
but the interaction with the Falcons during those events
is always so much fun.
Yeah, they're, uh, they're pretty great.
Pretty great Falcons.
They're a great bunch of people to build a playlist with, that's for sure.
Yeah, great playlist that we tested out and it was pretty good.
It's pretty good until it gets to the end and we start.
It maybe gets like a little bit thin when it gets to a Tim Curry song.
He's working on this time.
Yeah, yes, he is.
Um, well, Andrew, two incredible picks so far.
What's your third in the bird, not bird draft?
Third pick in the bird not bird draft, uh, is going to kind of connect.
to the first pick a little bit in a way.
Tony Hawk, known as the Birdman.
I am drafting in the third round with my third pick,
none other than the rapper Birdman.
Awesome, everyone my favorite bird adjacent rapper.
Incredibly talented, long career.
And what I think makes this pick even greater
is of course, these honorable, very, very,
prestigious awards that we're getting out as the bird not bird as my team filling out my team
yeah have a video of course now unfortunately birdman you know he's he's up there he's flying
around it's hard to get a hold of the bird man he's unavailable to make the selection uh acceptance
on his behalf so accepting on behalf of the bird man is none other
and the incredibly talented star of the Green Life himself.
T-PG.
Okay.
Oh, okay.
P-PG, accepting on behalf of Birdman.
Yeah, this is the only way to do it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
This might be the only way, this is the only person fitting for this.
Now, this is as it was sent to me.
This was as it was presented.
I didn't do anything.
This is just the video he sent.
Fantastic speech, TPG, take it away.
Like to congratulate you for picking birds.
Birdman in the draft of bird-related things.
This is your boy, TPG, regulation fan, regulation commenter, long-time lurker, long-time
commenter, always a huge fan of all the guys.
I've been connected to Birdman since 2013 when I did some rap-adjacent projects, which I've
never seen the right of day.
More importantly, Birdman would like to say, thank you so much for drafting him.
Birdman is actually a huge birder himself, not to be surprised.
He has a life list.
He spent much time into Everglades and the Surveillance.
rounding area of New Orleans looking for birds of all types.
You know, when he likes to go birding, he says, this is how we do it where I'm from,
stunting in the club, till we see the sun.
But in this case, the sun is the relentless pursuit for the pursuit of birds of all types.
So, Birdman, incredible pick.
He's honored.
He's grateful.
He's no way connected to TPG.
I do not want to be in trouble with cash money records.
But, Birdman, incredible choice.
Well done.
well represented
and
birds
you need him

bro

we love
we love to show
please check in the green life
he's amazing
dude
oh my god
I forgot what happens
when people
send videos to your phone
it's only one that came out that way
but I thought it was perfect
oh man
until the sun comes up
which the sun is the relentless
pursuit of birds
If this is the first piece of content people watch,
all that's absolutely ridiculous.
Three different acceptance speeches.
Man, incredible.
Well, Nick, you have the next pick here,
your third in the bird not bird draft.
My third pick, I think that this bird is the most important bird,
not bird.
This bird not bird is the most important bird not bird.
because it is the bird.
Two middle fingers straight up for flipping the bird.
Great a pick.
Great pick.
Yep.
Was that on your board, Gavin?
Yep.
Middle finger.
Yeah.
Should I write?
Do you want me to write the bird?
You want you?
Middle finger.
What do you want, Nick?
The bird.
The bird it is.
Reading some of these picks back to back are so funny.
Birdman, the bird.
I like that.
What's your bird not bird pick?
It's the bird.
It's the bird.
What was the last time you flip the bird, Nick?
Let's see, I drove through downtown this day.
40 minutes ago.
Yeah, exactly.
Nick did come in Hoff and puffing, apparently.
Yeah, yeah, he was so mad.
He didn't even say a love.
He sat straight down.
It put Jeff in a bad mood.
Sorry, Jeff.
It's all right.
But guys, I have the next pick.
I have the third pick here.
Or my third round pick.
and I'm going to go with the crow.
Oh, 1999.
Yeah.
Thank God you clarify.
Yeah, the crow from 1994, an awesome movie that gave goth people something to do for 20 plus years.
And I think that's so kind of that movie to do.
Because, you know, I said it's a great movie.
It's not.
It's a fun movie.
It's, you know, you can watch it.
You can make your whole identity it.
And that's kind of, those are kind of like the two options, I think.
Brandon Lee died so their identity
could soar. Yeah, got shot with a
real style gun in that
Rust style in
the filming of the crow. Crazy.
Terrible. Crazy, crazy.
Insane event. We recently
filmed a let's play
in hitman revolving around Bruce Lee.
Bruce Lee was in quite a bit.
I'm curious if Jeff or Gavin, do you guys think about
the crow a lot during that? No, not
at all. It was all I was thinking about.
Not once I didn't think.
I just kept going to my head like,
I got to warn him about the crow.
Oh, God.
I gotta warn him about the crow.
Yeah, because I'm interacting with Bruce Lee in the game.
What did Bruce Lee die?
What, 80s?
Yeah.
I will look it up.
Bruce Lee died in 1973.
Wow.
That's so much earlier than I would have guessed.
Yeah, well, I think he had a lot of movies come out posthumously.
Ah.
Interesting.
Okay.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Does that help your, uh, whatever point you're making, Gavin?
Oh, you're warning him about something.
that happens after he dies?
Well, it's about his son.
He doesn't die in the crow.
He's dead before then.
I'm assuming his son existed at that point.
Yeah.
I just wanted to convey something I thought about.
grabs his one-year-old son.
Don't do the crow.
It's your kids, Marty.
They're assholes.
Oh, there you have it.
The crow, 1994, is my pick.
But we go to Gavin, who's going to round out the third round
and make his final.
fourth round pick back to back
in this bird not bird draft
Gavin what is your third pick
well this is a good draft so far I would say
it's slightly above average maybe like
one above average and in golf
that's a birdie
that is great
wasn't on my list good job it was on mine
good call could have done a whole
probably a whole draft of just golf terms
you can yeah absolutely right
you know there's at least one other one
let's see if he has one more Gavin
golf term
Gavin, this is your chance to do something special or go your own way.
My final pick.
With a Zen pic.
What?
That's the song in the commercial.
Oh.
Yeah, it's that's what that's yeah.
I was referencing the Ozmpic commercial.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Uh huh.
My first pick is actually a man.
Uh, it's it's Superman.
Is it a bird?
Is it a plane?
No. No, it's not a bird.
It's Superman.
You want to take ducking instead?
My fourth pick is ducked.
It's after.
What about audio ducking, Gavin?
Go for that.
He's a...
Superman, because some asshole thought he was a bird.
Yeah, but it's, you know,
he's famously thought to be a bird sometimes.
But you're wrong.
It's not a bird.
by idiots
famously thought
to be a bird
I told some stand-up comedian
not too long ago
who had a bit about that
who was like
yeah you get the plane
or the Superman
but who's the guy
who's like
a bird
look guys
it's a bird
cool
it's a parent
all right Jack
is it invalid pick
do you think
I mean
you go right ahead
yeah you take it
I'll give it to you
I just think
the rest of your board
is so strong
you can have
Man, sure.
It's not a bird.
Yeah.
Yeah, no, yeah, no.
We all, yeah, we all kind of-
But he can fly like a bird.
But he's, that's, you're drafting a not bird, not bird.
That's true, you are drafting it.
But why do so many people think he's a bird?
No, no, no.
Because they're stupid.
Gavin, you can have it, man.
Have you good, man.
I don't think so many people think it's a bird.
I think it's one person, one time.
Yeah.
One person, one time?
It was only ever said once?
The check and tea at home.
Absolutely, dude.
Yeah, you got this.
It was a pretty iconic saying, though.
I'll give it to you guys.
No, it is an iconic thing, but it's not even, the person isn't even declaring that it's a bird, it's a question, they're asking.
Hmm, enjoy your not bird, not bird pick. Yeah, no, hey Gavin, I think you got it, man. Yeah, yeah, you can have it. That's fine. Hmm. Yeah, it's fine. Gav, don't listen to him, you're fine. Yeah, Gavin, it's fine. They'll vote for you anyway, so. They're just jealous of your pick.
The first bird.
Nick bringing the Achieve the Hunter Energy.
Love it.
Those are my picks.
Oh, man.
Thanks for the career, Gavin.
We're going to me for my final pick here.
I have chicken.
I have Robin Williams.
I have the crow 1994.
And to round it out,
my fourth and final pick is the crow,
2024. That's 9.20.
There you go. Yeah. The crow, just a mere year ago, they remade the movie.
It's terrible, but they kept the IP. And that's what's so important in America today,
is making something as bad as you can to hang on to that IP until it's totally worthless
and nobody wants anything to do with it. And that's why fourth on my list, the crow
2024. One cool scene
where
he uses a sword and cuts a guy's face
in half and then he gets stabbed
with the sword and then falls backwards into a guy
shooting him. Really, really cool scene.
The rest of the movie? Crazy.
Crazy bad. That was crazy
about the Superman pick is that he wouldn't
understand why he's on this board.
Yeah. Is it because I fly?
Like what?
Well, he probably did hear that guy with his
super hearing. Yeah, he can
hear him. I'd be terrible.
them. There you go. Those are my
picks. We go to Nick with his final pick.
Oh, you've a lot to live up to in the
worst final round we've ever done.
Yeah. It's all right, though. You know, here we go. So,
I've been bouncing back and forth.
Originally, I was going to go with a duck theme, but that died
pretty quick. So,
I've decided to do it the same word.
Your theme was, it was a lame duck.
Your duck pick, your second duck pick was the same as your first
duck. It would have been duck hunt? I don't know.
I don't know.
It was the alternate.
Anyway.
Ducker.
Abandoning that.
Uh-huh.
Yeah, that's also on there.
It's too late.
We've abandoned the clock.
The Red's gone.
So I'm going with, uh, with the, the bird, not bird that you think of when it strikes midnight, the cuckoo clock.
Oh.
Ducky from 16 candles.
The cuckoo clock.
The cuckoo clock.
Is that how you spell it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Uh, I think so.
Is that really how you spell cuckoo clock?
Yeah, like cup.
You spell it, it's
Cuckoo clock. It's spelled
Cuck O'clock. That's where the word
comes from. That's where Cuck is from. That's what
time it is, Eric.
That's what, wait, that's where the word comes from?
Yeah, because cuckus lay their eggs
in other birds' nests and watch
the, well, I don't think they watch
necessarily for the other birds.
They lay a bird in another nest, they pull
up a big armchair in the dark
and they have a look.
Let's smoke a cigarette in a lot.
Slower
Slower
Well the cuckoo clock is on the board
That is a birthday
The clock isn't
Okay
It's way
Got way way too late into the draft for you not to understand the death
From the man that brought you
Superman
There's only two picks left
And he's, like, rethinking what we're doing?
What are you doing?
I'm not sure if you know this, Gavin, but
a falcon is also a bird, hawk is a bird, and Tony Hawk.
Crow is a bird in crow's nest.
Yeah, but there's no crow in the crow's nest, is my point.
There's no, but, like, it's not an actual,
cuckoo, it's the clock.
All right.
There's like, no, it's so weird because you're like pushing back, but I don't know that there's any like backbone to it and it's really confusing.
No, no, I understand.
On his second drive-through, I understood his point of that it is an actual bird in the clock.
Yeah, but you're not, but it's not a lie.
The bird in the clock or drafting the clock.
It's a similar argument he made about horse armor when I drafted the DLC for that.
Oh, we think is that again, can we?
And to be honest, I was just so ready to argue with Nick that I had to know that.
Okay, well, okay.
Well, I enjoyed it.
Thank you, Gavin.
My hook o'clock is locked in.
I suppose we go to Andrew
with his fourth and final pick.
My fourth and final pick,
I'm continuing a theme,
sort of like Nick planned on doing.
My pick is NBA superstar
Chris Anderson,
also known as the Birdman.
Oh, yeah.
Dude.
Hell yeah.
Does he have a cameo or something?
He has three bird men.
Go ahead, Jeff, sorry.
One of the most famously catfished athletes of all time.
He's run up there with Manteo.
It's like him and Manteo.
That's it.
That's awesome.
Hell yeah.
Chris Anderson, the bird man.
Two-time NBA champion with Miami Heat, I imagine.
Time NBA champion.
And Eric, you asked if he had a cameo.
He does not have a cameo.
Surprisingly.
Not a lot of NBA players do have a cameo.
Chris Anderson, not available to accept this award.
unfortunately this this great ruling so I had to go in and get a replacement I'm sure
Chris Anderson actually would have picked this person themselves none other
then the very talented James Buckley accepting on behalf what you're going to say
TPG again Gavin are you aware of this nope did anybody know that Andrew knew James
This was a cameo
I mean
Gavin could have just called in the favor
This is so good
Gavin could have just shot like a text
Hey can you record this real fast
This is awesome
Here is the acceptance speech
James Buckley
Absolutely fascinated with Andrew
Here we go
In real acceptance speech
Oh really
Oh I'm so excited
I'm so stoked
He didn't
This is the worst looking video
Oh god
Can't even bother to get out of fucking bed
Okay
Take this stage, James.
Hi, Andrew.
How's it going, mate?
I hope you will.
Thank you for your request here.
I'm just going to have to read it.
It says, hey, my name is Andrew, and I'm part of a podcast called The Regulation Podcast.
I'm pretty sure that you know that I know who you are.
I know we've never met, but, you know, I'm good pals with Gavin.
And I can tolerate Jeff.
We are doing a bird not bird draft
And I wanted you to make an acceptance style speech
On behalf of NBA style
This Harrison, the bird net
I don't know what any of those words were to mean
Oh
I'm absolutely
It's so good
So there you go, Chris Anderson.
Oh, my God.
So fucking funny.
I'm pretty sure I know who I was at my wedding.
We, me, me, my wife, and our friend Alyssa,
like Americans who do not know who he was at.
Or the ones that were sat next to him.
So he was left alone.
Everyone else was like, oh, my God, is James Buckley?
And Alyssa kept leaning over going, who is this guy?
Yeah, we put Alyssa next to James because I know that Alyssa wouldn't buck him.
She had no idea.
It was so awesome.
Every other person at my wedding was talking to me like, who knows James Buckley?
Dude, all of like, all of the staff was like, oh, holy shit, James Buckley's here.
That's fucking crazy.
And Alyssa's like, who is that?
this. This is great.
He worked hard that night, bless him.
Oh, fuck, man.
Oh, Andrew, what an incredible draft.
I'm like, I'm losing my mind, dude.
That's so crazy.
Holy shit.
Way to go.
Thank you.
Oh, man.
Well, Jeff.
Here's your last pick.
What you got?
Hold on a second.
Are you trying to get a cameo right now?
I was just counting.
I'm down to my final 22 picks.
So I got to whittle it down to one.
They call Gus like Big Hawk.
anything like that?
Get a phone call from him real fast.
So I just need to pick one from the last 22.
I'm amazed.
My heart tells me that I should maybe pick Larry Bird
or maybe even four-time WMBA champion, Sue Bird.
But since Chris Anderson's already on the board,
we've already dealt with the athletes.
I think I'm going to finish it out in fourth round style.
It feels like it'll be appropriate to everything else.
You guys have picked.
I'm going to take it up.
I'm amazed it's still on the board,
so I'm going to pick it.
Let's end the draft on bird flu.
You've been in one of these moves
because you picked COVID-19 recently.
Name a more iconic bird-not-bird than bird flu.
Jeff and diseases, man.
Hand-in-hand.
Way to go.
Oh, God.
Wow.
Well, guys, that's the bird-not-bird draft.
Let's go through, and you guys can let us know who won.
Jeff has picked Millennium Falcon, who he did not want to talk about at all.
Stoose Black Hawk, protected by Falcons tier on Patreon and bird flu.
Andrew picked Tony Hogg, Sheen, Birdman, and Chris Anderson.
The Birdman.
Nick picked Duck, Crow's Nest, the bird, and cuckoo clock.
I picked chicken, Robin Williams, the crow, 1994, and the crow 2024.
for. Gavin picked woman. Birdo, birdie, Superman. Uh-huh. And there you have it. The bird not
bird draft, the strongest draft we've ever done in the most insane looking if you just
glance at the board. Wow. What and you never know how things are going to shake out in a draft.
Didn't see it going this way. No. Wow.
But please come here. Just most of it.
In bewilder that Andrew didn't just...
I've had so many text conversations with Buckley, specifically about Andrew.
I guess I should say I was on the fence about disclosing this.
His cameo that he sent me was actually like three and a half minutes long.
Oh, okay.
I just thought that was the funniest place to end it.
No, no, that's great.
You did the right thing.
Maybe on the Patreon
throw up the entire video
or something, I don't know.
Yeah, that's cool.
This might be the most expensive
production we've had so far.
I want to be clear.
No company money spent.
Why?
Why would you not spend company money on that?
What are you doing?
I didn't want to tip it off
and I wasn't sure about the approval of it.
So like...
That made the approval.
Okay.
So yeah, no company money.
You have a...
approval power.
Can you,
can you,
yeah,
can you reimburse yourself,
please?
Like, what the fuck?
Yeah,
come on, man.
God damn.
Andrew,
those were incredible.
Tony Hawk seemed to get it
right away.
Instantly.
Buckley did that
while going through the same exercise.
Wow.
They did the same thing
and Tony Hawk got it.
Tony Hawk was outside.
He was showing you
beautiful Carlsbad,
California.
James Buck was,
Buckley was in his bag.
Hey, guys, I have a goal for regulation to achieve that I've just landed on.
Imagine a future where we're able to finagle four people to do a draft that we give them.
And those four people are Tony Hawk, Chehick, TPG, and James Buckley.
We give them a draft, celebrity draft, and we give them a draft, and we just filmed it.
incredible. We just, we just added it where it's like my first, Tony Hawk saying my first draft
thing is this. And then we can discuss it. And then it's Shane going, my first draft pick is
this. And we go through a whole draft. I just love the idea of looking down Andrew's
list and replacing those names at the top and then a drop goes. It's incredible. Oh my God.
Well, guys, that's the bird not bird draft. Incredible stuff. Go to patreon.com slash the regulation
pod you go to a regulation store dot store uh to grab some stuff check us out on youtube the
podcast or gameplay videos and so much more oh boy let us know who won this one um i am just i'm
like beside myself this one was crazy uh guys any any parting thoughts for the folks at home
listening to this and what birds we may be missed no there you have it all right we'll see you
guys next time. Bye. Bye. Bye. Duck.
