Starting point is 00:00:00 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?
Starting point is 00:00:18 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.
Starting point is 00:00:29 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.
Starting point is 00:00:49 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
Starting point is 00:01:10 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.
Starting point is 00:01:37 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
Starting point is 00:01:58 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
Starting point is 00:02:14 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,
Starting point is 00:02:28 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.
Starting point is 00:02:47 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.
Starting point is 00:03:00 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.
Starting point is 00:03:10 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.
Starting point is 00:03:34 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.
Starting point is 00:03:45 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.
Starting point is 00:04:02 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.
Starting point is 00:04:17 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.
Starting point is 00:04:34 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.
Starting point is 00:04:46 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
Starting point is 00:05:08 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
Starting point is 00:05:20 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
Starting point is 00:05:36 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
Starting point is 00:05:51 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.
Starting point is 00:06:24 Oh, okay He's sharing his screen now Sharing my screen Here we go Okay Okay Media player Well I have a full screen
Starting point is 00:06:34 Okay I see it Good to go Yeah Here we go Tony Hawk Making an acceptance speech Of being
Starting point is 00:06:42 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
Starting point is 00:06:50 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?
Starting point is 00:07:08 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.
Starting point is 00:07:28 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.
Starting point is 00:07:41 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.
Starting point is 00:07:53 yet pretty soon and if anyone is listening out there and you have a skateboard and you're not a bird
Starting point is 00:08:01 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
Starting point is 00:08:07 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
Starting point is 00:08:20 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.
Starting point is 00:08:32 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.
Starting point is 00:08:52 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.
Starting point is 00:09:10 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
Starting point is 00:09:41 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.
Starting point is 00:10:01 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.
Starting point is 00:10:12 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.
Starting point is 00:10:20 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.
Starting point is 00:10:37 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.
Starting point is 00:11:10 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,
Starting point is 00:11:47 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.
Starting point is 00:12:05 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.
Starting point is 00:12:20 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...
Starting point is 00:12:32 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.
Starting point is 00:12:45 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.
Starting point is 00:13:05 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.
Starting point is 00:13:34 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.
Starting point is 00:13:53 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?
Starting point is 00:14:10 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?
Starting point is 00:14:22 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.
Starting point is 00:14:29 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?
Starting point is 00:14:45 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.

Starting point is 00:15:31 Plus tax at participating restaurants in Canada for limited time. Well, go to me for my next pick in the second round. 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.
Starting point is 00:15:52 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.
Starting point is 00:16:08 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.
Starting point is 00:16:19 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.
Starting point is 00:16:31 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.
Starting point is 00:16:52 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.
Starting point is 00:17:09 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.
Starting point is 00:17:43 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.
Starting point is 00:18:00 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.
Starting point is 00:18:22 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.
Starting point is 00:18:37 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.
Starting point is 00:19:11 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
Starting point is 00:19:51 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
Starting point is 00:20:11 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.
Starting point is 00:20:30 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.
Starting point is 00:20:48 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.
Starting point is 00:21:08 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,
Starting point is 00:21:46 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.
Starting point is 00:22:02 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
Starting point is 00:22:17 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.
Starting point is 00:22:36 Thank you. Incredible. I love this guy. That is. I'm floored. I'm floored. That was That was incredible. He made,
Starting point is 00:22:46 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.
Starting point is 00:22:55 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.
Starting point is 00:23:07 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.
Starting point is 00:23:20 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.
Starting point is 00:23:41 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
Starting point is 00:24:11 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
Starting point is 00:24:25 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
Starting point is 00:24:40 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.
Starting point is 00:25:01 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.
Starting point is 00:25:20 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.
Starting point is 00:25:36 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.
Starting point is 00:25:52 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.
Starting point is 00:26:16 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
Starting point is 00:26:55 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.
Starting point is 00:27:22 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.
Starting point is 00:27:39 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.
Starting point is 00:28:07 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.
Starting point is 00:28:30 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
Starting point is 00:28:44 see you out there bro love to be a part of this he's the best he's the best we love we love to show please check in the green life
Starting point is 00:28:51 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
Starting point is 00:29:00 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.
Starting point is 00:29:24 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.
Starting point is 00:29:46 Great pick. Yep. Was that on your board, Gavin? Yep. Middle finger. Yeah. Should I write? Do you want me to write the bird?
Starting point is 00:29:53 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.
Starting point is 00:30:03 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.
Starting point is 00:30:23 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.
Starting point is 00:30:35 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.
Starting point is 00:30:57 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
Starting point is 00:31:12 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
Starting point is 00:31:28 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.
Starting point is 00:31:47 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.
Starting point is 00:31:59 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?
Starting point is 00:32:08 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.
Starting point is 00:32:21 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
Starting point is 00:32:40 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
Starting point is 00:32:58 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.
Starting point is 00:33:13 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.
Starting point is 00:33:26 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.
Starting point is 00:33:51 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.
Starting point is 00:34:04 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
Starting point is 00:34:16 or the Superman but who's the guy who's like a bird look guys it's a bird cool it's a parent
Starting point is 00:34:24 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
Starting point is 00:34:32 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-
Starting point is 00:34:39 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.
Starting point is 00:34:50 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.
Starting point is 00:35:01 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.
Starting point is 00:35:50 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,
Starting point is 00:36:03 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
Starting point is 00:36:39 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?
Starting point is 00:36:56 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.
Starting point is 00:37:12 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.
Starting point is 00:37:33 I don't know. It was the alternate. Anyway. Ducker. Abandoning that. Uh-huh. Yeah, that's also on there. It's too late.
Starting point is 00:37:41 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?
Starting point is 00:37:58 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
Starting point is 00:38:08 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
Starting point is 00:38:26 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
Starting point is 00:38:45 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?
Starting point is 00:39:10 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.
Starting point is 00:39:41 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.
Starting point is 00:40:06 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.
Starting point is 00:40:21 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.
Starting point is 00:40:33 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.
Starting point is 00:40:45 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
Starting point is 00:41:07 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
Starting point is 00:41:39 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
Starting point is 00:41:49 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.
Starting point is 00:42:02 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.
Starting point is 00:42:28 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
Starting point is 00:42:53 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.
Starting point is 00:43:32 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.
Starting point is 00:43:57 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.
Starting point is 00:44:09 Holy shit. Way to go. Thank you. Oh, man. Well, Jeff. Here's your last pick. What you got? Hold on a second.
Starting point is 00:44:17 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.
Starting point is 00:44:38 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.
Starting point is 00:45:00 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.
Starting point is 00:45:21 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.
Starting point is 00:45:39 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.
Starting point is 00:46:24 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.
Starting point is 00:46:57 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.
Starting point is 00:47:09 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.
Starting point is 00:47:22 Okay. So yeah, no company money. You have a... approval power. Can you, can you, yeah, can you reimburse yourself,
Starting point is 00:47:28 please? Like, what the fuck? Yeah, come on, man. God damn. Andrew, those were incredible. Tony Hawk seemed to get it
Starting point is 00:47:35 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.
Starting point is 00:47:51 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.
Starting point is 00:48:18 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
Starting point is 00:49:09 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.
