Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello and welcome to another episode of the Regulation Podcast. This is episode 105. My name is Jeff Ramsey with me. As always, Andrew Panton, Gavin Free, Eric Badoor, Nick Schwartz. You know what someone pointed out in the community? What's that? This is episode 501 backwards. Oh, reverse, yeah.
Starting point is 00:00:18 Oh, shit. We'll have to try a little harder this episode. No deal. No, yeah. That's not. We'll see you next time. Everyone refused. No.
Starting point is 00:00:35 We haven't tried this far. Why would we start now? I'm not on board for that. I'll bring the same heat to every episode. That's what I'm talking about, Andrew. There's no special juice. Yeah, that's why Andrew's my starter. Don't test me.
Starting point is 00:00:49 Don't, hey, don't test me. I put him in, Andrew's got the fastball. That's the guy I can rely on. Doesn't Andrew use a performance enhancing technique sometimes? Don't test me. Like a little ice hot on the ear? That's why he's saying don't test me He's saying don't test me
Starting point is 00:01:03 He's all about his sports equipment Don't test me He was getting fired Okay he immediately muted Whatever the edges Of legal substances I'm over it Whoa
Starting point is 00:01:18 Hey I talked too much last week So somebody else take it Gavin why is your house sinking Is sinking going down You said on the stream that like it was water filled or something. I've been waiting. I've been waiting. I'm worried.
Starting point is 00:01:35 Oh yeah. My friend Gavin's house is doing. We got, we had so much rain the other day that the water was rising beyond the grass and like coming up the wall and then it came to the bottom of the door and then I thought, do I live in a floodplain? And then the water went down. I didn't have to deal with it. But I did learn that water can come under the door.
Starting point is 00:01:54 That's scary. What? Sneaking in. I think I think that was pretty. pretty normal for a door, isn't it? Because they're not really waterproof from underneath. You know, now that you're saying, yeah, no, you're right. A little hole there.
Starting point is 00:02:10 Yeah, that's kind of like the whole thing. Yeah. Yeah, I was looking at it, seeping in. I thought, oh, yeah. I guess that's how that would happen. Oh. Well, I mean, it's hard, especially in Austin, because so much can suddenly be on a floodplain and it changes a lot.
Starting point is 00:02:25 Like the floodplain keeps kind of shifting and everything. But I mean if you're concerned about your floodplain and everything, are you concerned about your like yard? Are you still like a lawn guy or what's going on? I think I'm done being a lawn guy. Oh no! You're done? That didn't last long. No. Yeah, I think it was, what, last two years?
Starting point is 00:02:47 Yeah. Some guy came and he wrecked all my sprinklers and they don't reach the middle. What? So now that the middle of the grass is always dead and around it in a sort of, you know, I'm not. circle is weeds. Hand water it. Yeah. Get it. Get the sprinklers fixed.
Starting point is 00:03:05 Get the sprinklers fixed and also do some hand water. It's not like they can never work again. Yeah, I know. I just got to cut up the grass and dig it all up and then cut the pipe and put new pipe and all that. I did it once before, but the prick took it all. He stole my work. What? Can you explain who's the prick? Yeah. Is it just like a sprinkler thief or is somebody hired?
Starting point is 00:03:28 It was like a landscape. It was a landscape guy. No, he was a landscape guy. And he was doing some work around the grass area. But he rearranged all the sprinklers. And one of the sprinklers had failed before. So I ran a bunch of new pipe under the lawn and then I buried it again. And he took it all.
Starting point is 00:03:44 He stole it all to put in his shit sprinklers that it reached the down middle. Well, I tell you what, buddy. If you want, I'm at 80% right now. When I get to 100, I'll come over with a shovel. And you and I can, it would be a little fun Jeff and Gav Saturday project. I'll help you dig up your yard. I think he needs to do the handheld thing for his middle, middle sprinkler. Handheld thing.
Starting point is 00:04:07 Yeah, the small thing. You don't want a sprinkler that does 60% of the job, though. No, I mean, if it sits one area, then he needs. You get that sprinkler that slowly goes back and forth and makes a little rainbow and you have to sprint to try to not get wet underneath it. He liked the one that you plug into the hose, you mean? Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:24 Yeah. You get one of those. Gavin, how do you feel about taking long care tips from Andrew? And he's letting you know what you need to be doing. I'm just trying to more endorse the experience of sprinting through the water rainbow. It's a lot of fun. I haven't done it since I was like five.
Starting point is 00:04:37 I don't think Gavin, I don't think that's, I don't think that's how Gavin's going to spend his time if I'm being very honest. Well, yeah, it's about being super fast. To be honest, I preferred being a guy who didn't care about his law and I never ran the sprinkler. It seems like a waste. And the whole thing was like dust.
Starting point is 00:04:50 That was a lot easier. It is a waste. Why don't you just get a zero-scape and have rocks and agave and shit put in? That's ugly. Why don't you put, like, astroturf in? Do you think it's uglier than just dead, dead lawn? And weed?
Starting point is 00:05:08 I don't know. It just seems bad for, like, bees and stuff, doesn't it? I didn't know. Manicured lawns are bad for the earth. We shouldn't not be supposed to exist. Yeah, we shouldn't be doing that. What if you get rid of everything, but then get a projector that projects a lawn? There you go.
Starting point is 00:05:27 This is what I was helping for. I was looking for Andrew to come in with one big swing here. And I'm really, this is why he's my starter. This is the guy. Don't test me. Don't test him. What I would probably say is it, I assume it wouldn't work on a ground level. So you're gonna need to elevate everything.
Starting point is 00:05:45 You're gonna wanna look down. Well, what if I poured, like if I made the lawn just those reflective beads, that would be really easy to reflect? I don't know what you mean by that. I don't know. The projector off. The reflective beads? Like that retro reflection shit. I don't know what that.
Starting point is 00:06:01 Does anyone know what he's talking about? Throw some more words in there though. Imagine. I imagine a very... Combo on this is insane. Cyber retro. Is it just this? Sure.
Starting point is 00:06:15 What do you mean? Sure. I'm just googling reflective beads. The inside of a fucking beanie baby. You did it. What's the shit they make those projector screens out of that are really reflective? I don't know. I've never thought about what a projector screen is made of.
Starting point is 00:06:29 Me neither. I think I've only just seen like a home projector sheet and it's like, it's just like a sheet. It's like a bed sheet. Like, I don't know what you're talking about. Do they do something to the projector screen to make it more reflective? Well, I think that's different types. So you could just reflect you can project on like a gray screen or like a really reflective beady one.
Starting point is 00:06:46 I'm not aware. Is this for real? A reflective beady one. I'm sure you're right because you just went to that big tech convention. Yeah. But man, I don't know what the fuck you're talking about. He's definitely right. like the way he said it like was...
Starting point is 00:06:59 At what cost. So wait, so this guy's just putting little glass beads on a screen. Like, that's what this is? I don't know who that is. I feel like that's the least relevant point of it. I don't know what that is.
Starting point is 00:07:18 Maybe don't test Gavin today either. Don't test me. I still think I'm right about the whole freaking stargy thing. Oh yeah. You think you're right about the starry thing still? Yeah, sure. This is How to choose material
Starting point is 00:07:35 Matt white glass bead White that's what I'm thinking of The glass bead Okay so imagine my lawn is glass bead And we project lawn on it That was what I was saying I think it should be Matt personally Yeah I was thinking gray fiberglass
Starting point is 00:07:48 But sure we could go grass bead I'm a metal guy Put metal all over your backyard And then project onto it Okay And you can just change your backyard every day. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:08:01 Just imagine, like, when we did the NHL thing, how they displayed, like, the football, the field on the rank, that could be your backyard. Yeah. Every day. It's certainly worth getting in the lab before, I think. You think so?
Starting point is 00:08:14 Yeah, the lawn lab? Maybe Gavin is a Lord guy. Welcome back! I might be back in. I guess it would also only work at night. Wouldn't it be another problem? Irrespective of the lab, if, once again,
Starting point is 00:08:26 if you ever want actual practical help, fixing your problem, I'm available. Yeah, same here. I appreciate it. Yeah, me too. I'm not, but I want, I'm, I'm available for, like, impractical help if there's anything you want to do that doesn't make any fucking sense. Yeah, Eric's there.
Starting point is 00:08:43 He's there first if the help is, like, I need someone else in the pool. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, I'm happy to help there. Absolutely. But then you want to start, like, doing something with the yard. Sorry, I can't help. I'm in the pool already.
Starting point is 00:08:55 That would be very funny. if there is a law, a legal requirement of how many people needed to have a pool experience. Like it says maximum 10, minimum two? Yeah, well, I feel like minimum three. Wow, minimum three. Minimum three feels like a real
Starting point is 00:09:10 annoyance. Yeah, that's annoying because I can't just have Meg get in with me. Yeah, you'd have to call me and I'll be there in no time. I would call you and I'd hear the ringing behind me as you're stepping into the pool. I'm hopping the fence, no hands. I just jump over it. What do you need?
Starting point is 00:09:26 playing in the pool. I was pre-gaming in the front yard just in case. Yeah, I'm going to find out that Eric's just been drinking in my front yard every day just in case. I'm just getting ready. The weather's turning. At any moment, three people might need to get in that pool. You never know when a city inspector will come by. Doing it for you. That's no one to get fined. It's true. Surprise inspection. If you get caught, they fill the pool with cement. There's some real stakes to pool under. Oh, awesome. Jesus. It's not even like a, a, a, a, a, a, a, a warning? No warnings. Straight in with the cement? No warnings. Straight to cement.
Starting point is 00:10:00 Wow. It's just like city council is run by one person who really wishes they could have a pool but there's no space in the yard so they're like set out the road it for everybody. You must have three people. If you fail, it's gone. What would you like to be an inspector of?
Starting point is 00:10:18 Hmm. That's a great question because nothing immediately comes to mind. Oh, I think you'd be good of vibes. I think he wants to do a good vibe inspector. That's fine. I wanted to make a shirt. You guys shut me down. I would inspect gadgets. Just as like a broad term.
Starting point is 00:10:32 So I'd be inspecting gadgets. And just whatever that means to you, I'll give them a look. Yeah, I guess if you're open to it coming to you and not you being like proactive and finding it, that opens up a lot of doors to me. There's a lot of things that I would potentially inspect that I just be a hot dog inspector. The lack of interest is in having to find the thing and or go to the thing and evaluate. I don't care about evaluating something that much. You don't like the travel towards the evaluation.
Starting point is 00:11:02 At a certain point, that would just become a job, and I don't, I'm not that interested in inspecting. Working? Inspecting. Oh. Not working. I have to work. Andrew, I got to say that felt like a test to me.
Starting point is 00:11:17 That's a little rabbit. He's doing all those rabbit things. Okay. It's okay. Just doing it's a little rabbit. Oh, I don't think that's rabbit. It's just cheeky. Here I am trying to solve it.
Starting point is 00:11:26 your lawn problem and fuck me I guess fuck me the only one giving a viable solution to putting a projector above your home that shoots into do you have a loan? No okay no I don't do you have a projector
Starting point is 00:11:40 um no what is the untraditional sense in which you have a projector I got one of those things that shoots the moon onto the ceiling but I didn't really care for it's somewhere what kid's nightlight no it's It's the ceiling thing. It's the planetary.
Starting point is 00:12:00 Yeah. And there's like four different slides. You could go to different solar system stuff. Yeah, this wasn't for children. This was clearly for a lot for kids. No. No, it was not for it's not for kids. It's on the box.
Starting point is 00:12:12 Not for NFK said. Can you guys ask you guys a question? Yeah. Please. Yes. And if you don't, it's going to sound weird. So I'm hoping you do. Do you guys remember Elvis had a stinky butt?
Starting point is 00:12:25 No. What? A stinky butt? So back when I was a kid, there was a t-shirt that some of the kids in my school wore. It was just a picture Elvis and it said Elvis had a stinky butt. And I remember thinking that it was just something that located in my school. But I was browsing Reddit the other day and I saw the image and I thought, oh, fuck, how did it get outside of my school? So I was reading about it.
Starting point is 00:12:50 It turns out it was a piece of art by a guy named Bad Otis in the early 80s, like 83. and it was, it became incredibly popular, and I guess it was all over the 80s for a really long time. I just always assumed it was like localized to my area. And that got me wondering, how did stuff go viral back then without the internet? Like, how did I know about Elvis had a stinky butt in Alabama? Well, you went to school with somebody that wore the shirt.
Starting point is 00:13:18 Yeah, but how did they know about it, Andrew? Like, how did stuff spread virally before the internet? They bought the shirt. No, but I, I mean, I agree. Thank you. agree with that because it's how, like, where did this come from and why did everyone I know how to do it and like, you all learned it? Tony Hawk. Like, way before Tony Hawk. Dude, this was so before, I was doing this like second grade. I was telling you where I learned. Wasn't it like kind of like the logo from the saint?
Starting point is 00:13:42 The Val Kilmer film? No, it's like an old Roger Boar TV show. I never saw it, but I never saw it. I don't know if it's from that, but it always is, is the movie based on it? I don't know. Okay. Are you talking about it? Based on the popular spy series. Oh. Maybe it's... You think that that's the same thing?
Starting point is 00:14:06 So just looking at that letter S and the thing that I said that I always knew is like the Stozy S, which it's not. You think those are the same. Well, no. Do you also think the saint invented stick figures in halos? No. All right.
Starting point is 00:14:22 I swear that was a version of the Saint logo, which is more high school s you're always right high school you call it high school s yeah what's it called i don't know like i always called it the stucy s because that's just what we knew it as but uh i'm looking and i don't see anything that looks like the also i heard it as cool s high school s is a very cool thing but that just seems too old for what it is like i was doing that in like second grade It's just cool to think that, like, something must have, you had to really catch a wave to go viral in the old days, you know? Well, you remember we were talking, we were talking about, like, Richard Geer and that whole thing.
Starting point is 00:15:07 And then, and if there were other people who maybe went to the hospital for drinking too much of something, and they had to get their stomach pumped. And, and that's, that to me. For how my brain works, virality of a sold item is a lot less impressive than virality of a story. You've posted the anal galaxy projector? Yeah, as I said, not for adults. Where do you think somebody would have bought that shirt in the 80s, Andrew? Like, how did it get distribution?
Starting point is 00:15:39 Oh, I have, listen, I have no idea where they bought it from, but the idea of, like, this was a shirt that people bought, and it went all over because people just bought the shirt. I know what actually happened. People wanted to be zing. is the guy made it as like a thing. He printed some. He was like a punk artist. He printed some. It went popular. And then people started reprinting and making their own versions of it. Like most of the shirts that people saw he didn't make. They were essentially copies or ripoffs. So they had like they're fakes. The thing that's impressive to me. Was he upset? No, I think he loved it. But I don't know. You'd have to ask him. It feels like a thing you would buy from Spencer's gifts.
Starting point is 00:16:15 I, maybe eventually, but that wouldn't have been licensed through the creator. It's just the, I'm saying the feel of the. Probably also pre-exist Spencer's gifts by a couple of, by a decade or so. Oh, absolutely. I'm just saying that like, the kind of zaniness of like Elvis, that's a stinky butt feels very Spencer's gifts. Did he ever have one? Was it factual? Yeah, he like notoriously didn't bathe in like the 70s, right?
Starting point is 00:16:42 It was, yeah, it was not tongue and cheek. I think he was like, yeah, being insulting to Elvis based on rumors. Yeah. Like, in like the like mid-70s and everything, like he went like crazy and like stopped bathing and stuff. Like I think he was like, that was like a notorious thing. Yeah, sort of Richard Gehrie style thing. I'm thinking more, I'm thinking more Rod Stewart, but I hear what you're saying. Has Richard Gier ever addressed his thing in an interview?
Starting point is 00:17:11 So just ignored it. I'm sure it's come up. I, there's no way he addresses me somebody that would be like playful about it. Like there's just no way. I think Rod Stewart addressed his stomach pump story though. I think, yeah, I think like a year ago, he was in an interview and he was just like, hey, so that like never happened. And I don't know like that like I don't know.
Starting point is 00:17:32 It was just yeah, he has made up. Someone made it up about me. And that was it. It's like, well, yeah, no shit. You'd hope it would be the other way of like, oh, I'd have. And it not only happened once, it happened. So like, and he was the one trying to get the word out? Yeah, that's why it was a viral story across multiple places, because he did it in multiple reaches.
Starting point is 00:18:02 It's his thing. It's like a tour of getting your stomach pumped. It's just every layer of that story is so funny to me. I won't stop. I have to drink more. You can't make me. I'm like, please slow it down, digest a little bit
Starting point is 00:18:19 first. No. No, no deal. You don't tell me how to enjoy what I enjoy? Unpunchable thirst. Rod Stewart pumping up to it. He was a little bow dowery in the whole time. The first of many, I suppose. Oh, man. Do you guys want to see something
Starting point is 00:18:44 that'll blow your little dicks off. Yeah. I showed this to Eric already, so his dick is already gone. But click on that link. It's a new, it's a new community site I saw on Reddit the other day, Regulationlore.com.
Starting point is 00:18:57 It is the most comprehensive website ever made. Bringing you the deep lore behind the nothing. Dude, they have a whole section that's just audio clips of every time Andrew says I'm a blank guy. I listened to probably 20 of them in a row.
Starting point is 00:19:14 just to see, it is the most, like you, on the service, it's like, yeah, this is cool. But once you start digging into subheadings on this site, this person has captured everything about us. It is fucking crazy. Can I say, I really love that logo of the dude shoulders up with the regulation logo as a head. Yeah, it's pretty cool. I think it's really smart. Or is it meant to be a fan?
Starting point is 00:19:37 It looks like both. I think it's a fan, but yeah. Oh, damn, it is a fan. Oh, I get it. Regulation fan made. Yeah, just, works to me as like a good, but that can be on a shirt. Regulation ideas, we've got a to-do list. There's a diction, a comprehensive dictionary. The dictionary is awesome. And I like, if you go to
Starting point is 00:19:53 this website every day, today's random dictionary entry and it changes. And it just says word, red heat, part of speech, noun, definition, a new name for a radish. Example sentence, red heat should be the new name for a radish. I'm going to put some red heat on this salad. Today's random blank guy entry. I'm a big apple guy. Oh, man. It's good.
Starting point is 00:20:23 That's fantastic. It's really good. I spent probably 30 minutes. Thank you so much for. Yeah, no kidding, right? It's like the coolest most, I was telling Eric, it's like it just, it never ceases to blow me away how, A, how talented the community is, but just also how wonderful they are, you know. And I hope everybody in the community gets to enjoy this site when they find out about it,
Starting point is 00:20:42 because I think it's really cool. It looks really awesome, and I think it's a lot of fun. And I do think that we should quickly take the Andrew's opinion game quiz. Ooh. Watch stream. So I'm just going to start. Is Andrew a big guy or not a big guy? I think he's...
Starting point is 00:21:03 Should I answer these based on what I think? I think we could all come together on it, but Andrew, I definitely want to know what you think. Uh, should I lead or do you want me to go at the end? I'd like to know how well you know you. I want to see if, I want to see if you know you as well as they did. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. So, Andrew's a.
Starting point is 00:21:20 Absolutely big guy. We'll never say not a big guy. Andrew's a big guy. Yeah, big guy. Incorrect. What? Not a not guy. Wait, play that again.
Starting point is 00:21:30 Is not. Not a not guy. Well, that's not. Listen, that's, that's, off to a hot start. That's a bug in the system. Wait, what? I don't think I get a negative on that. Andrew, you a big syrup guy or not?
Starting point is 00:21:42 Not a big syrup guy. Not a big syrup guy. Andrew? I'm not a big syrup guy. He's definitely not. Definitely. Okay. Maybe you like fruit syrup?
Starting point is 00:21:51 Okay. He's not a big syrup guy. Yeah. So the first one is, is, uh, that was broken. I'm two for two as far as I'm concerned. Are you a big sauce guy? Not a big sauce guy. Oh, I think he's a big sauce guy.
Starting point is 00:22:03 I think he was too. Is this BTS sauce stuff? Yeah, but what happened to all that sauce? Not like he ate it and all you did anything with it. He just had it. He just had it. Yeah, but I would say a sauce hoarder is still a big sauce guy. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:22:14 Yeah, look at Nick. I don't hoard. Half sauce, half stocks. We have an entire drawer filled of sauce. You've hoarded. That's not hoarding. That's saving. Different.
Starting point is 00:22:25 I'm going to say I'm a big sauce guy. Okay. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Andrew, your sauce guy. Are you a big pickles guy? No.
Starting point is 00:22:35 Absolutely not. And zero. There's no. Well, Tommy Pickles, maybe. Did I ever talk about Rugrats? I don't think I did. So I'm going to say not a big pickless guy. He's great.
Starting point is 00:22:48 That's right. Are you, oh, we're back to big guy, not a big guy. What is this? Yeah, but do big guy and see if it's broken still. Oh. Oh, falling apart. It just doesn't work. Fallen apart website.
Starting point is 00:23:02 No, that's that. A big chicken pomazan guy. I love the specificity of it. The more specific it gets, I know for a fact what this is. Oh, yeah? What is it? Big Parmesan chicken? Yeah, he's got it.
Starting point is 00:23:18 I feel like anything chicken, you know, that guy. Absolutely. A chicken parmesan guy? I had to back that one in. I had to adjust a little bit. I was coming a little too far left. We got there. We parked the car.
Starting point is 00:23:35 A chicken parmesan guy. It's written. Oh, we already did sauce. Oh, man, see, this is tough. The opinion game's tough. The opinion game. What I'm learning is I need to be a more guy guy. Okay.
Starting point is 00:23:50 Oh, I do a big. Oh, okay. Now, me, I'm a big cans guy. I don't know what you were talking about. Me, I'm a big cans guy. Jeff, Jeff, you thinking about dumping him out? I always, dude, 24 hours a day. Big cans guy.
Starting point is 00:24:07 Big cans guy. Andrew, what do you think? You a big cans guy? I think I'm a big cans guy because there are situations in which a can is the best delivery method of a product. Okay.
Starting point is 00:24:19 Whoa. Interesting. See, the problem is, that's contextual. Sure. Is it everything? Yeah, for sure. But there's a scenario,
Starting point is 00:24:32 I guess, where I could see myself not being a can guy. Can you imagine a situation where you didn't want a can involved? Absolutely. When? Soup. I don't want soup involved ever. If someone's like, you, you soup guy?
Starting point is 00:24:43 Not in a can. No. Yeah, but you don't, you don't want the can involved in the soup. You just don't want the soup. No, but the con, the conversation should be, do you like cans of soup? I'm right there with him. You say, no, I'm not a soup guy. No, you can be a soup guy.
Starting point is 00:24:55 You just don't want canned soup. I just had a fucking, because, you know, I'm still trying to learn to eat again. I just had some Campbell's chicken noodle soup last night. I was so excited. I can't remember the last time I had that. Some of the worst fucking food. It was disgusting. They must have changed the recipe or just slash the budget for ingredients or something.
Starting point is 00:25:17 It was almost inedible. Stuff's not great when you've got to slash the chicken suit budget. God damn. Well, Andrew, we only have a couple left here. Are you a big baseball hat guy or no? Okay. This is where the thing gets me a little bit. Because they're saying a big baseball hat?
Starting point is 00:25:34 You said this. This is you. No, no, no, no. Do you understand what I'm saying? Before you go forget him. Because he could be talking about large hats. This could both be a ruling, or am I saying that I'm a big large hats guy when it comes to baseball? But you're also just not a hats guy because of your big head.
Starting point is 00:25:52 Yeah, but like, they make those giant baseball hats. Were we talking about that? I don't know if we, I'm sure we've talked about it. I'm going to guess that you're not. I would also lean towards not. Okay. See? Oh, you would love to be one.
Starting point is 00:26:08 I'd love that. See, that's kind of a trick question. I would say that you're not one. Yeah. Yeah, that seems like you aspire to be one. That means I'm not. If I'd love to be, that means I'm not. Okay, last one, last one.
Starting point is 00:26:19 Ooh. Are you a big parties guy? I like the Mario variety a lot. I just love the plural. I would say I'm a big party guy or I'm not. Big parties guy is interesting to me. I don't know why. No, I don't, yeah, I would say not a big party guy.

Starting point is 00:28:43 I'm a party's guy in the Gatsby context. I'm sorry, what's the Gatsby context? I like being around the party. I like the party happening in a place that I could observe, and I can feel part of, but I'm also completely disengaged from. You like to be party adjacent. I get that.
Starting point is 00:29:02 Now, here's the thing. I've never seen the Great Gatsby or read the book. I just feel like from, like, yeah, I had a feeling. I had a feeling when you said that that you had not. Yeah, no, that's great. Thank you. If that doesn't make sense, it's because my, like,
Starting point is 00:29:14 I think that he's like a guy that's at the party that never parties at the party. No, he's at the parties at his house. He's the guy who's faking being a rich socialite and who's doing everything in his power. Spoilers! It's a hundred years old. You had 100 years to read it. Are you, uh, are you not a big fast lemon guy? You know, he really, he really, uh, made me check out with Austria.
Starting point is 00:29:38 Oh, did he make Australia? Australia is a rough watch. He did. Clearly not a big F. Scott Fitzgerald guy either. I would take it. Is this one? I liked his work in Arizona. Hussler one looks like?
Starting point is 00:29:49 That's awesome. I've never, I don't think I've ever seen it before. There's always a Bioshock movie. That would have been interesting. How did he not cast himself in some of these movies? Dude. No. I like I should have been all over Romeo and Juliet.
Starting point is 00:30:04 Look at this guy. Yeah, dude. Oh, Baz Luhrmann kind of looks like he should be an awful man as a fish. And I don't mean that negatively. He just kind of has fish guy vibes. You would cost him as Macriio, Nick? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:22 Who do you think? Who would, like, who would... Picking up that ball running with it? No problem. No, I think I was mainly just blown away that Nick wanted to kick out like the one black guy from the boo. Nick thoughts Oh I thought it was
Starting point is 00:30:40 John Linguizamo's character Never mind What? No he's the Prince of Cats So that was Tibolt He should be tibbled I think I think John Lig was almost
Starting point is 00:30:50 Like the coolest character In that movie You want to kick him out Fuck it, Leo Are we back to Gatsby? No, he was also Romeo Clear Danes, right? Claire Daines
Starting point is 00:31:07 Jamie Kennedy is also in that You know what did Jamie Kennedy He is at the beginning He bites his thumb I was scrolling on TikTok and I got Jamie Kennedy's new vertical series and it's just that he's found a large hole in his lawn and he's trying to make it very suspenseful by being like, how deep is this hole? Some guy take his sprinklers? Wasn't that a show called Outer Range on Amazon last year?
Starting point is 00:31:30 Was it? Yeah, it was the whole point of the show. The guy found a big hole. Oh. That's the show. The show is, oh my God. Look at this. Josh Brolin.
Starting point is 00:31:39 Dude, this is look at this. Look at it. That's me in the hole looking at Josh Broll. Spoiler, the hole goes to a different dimension, an alternate earth. Oh, cool. And where the show doesn't get canceled, but unfortunately in our earth, it does. Yeah, this sounds right. That is a, I mean, that is just, it truly is a big hole in his backyard.
Starting point is 00:32:02 Do you think that's the most upside down buffalo on any poster ever? Probably? Do you think the artist, that's... any idea. Didn't realize all kinds of records they were breaking. Have you guys seen this yet? The Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania AAA team has Iron Pigs renamed themselves the Squelanks.
Starting point is 00:32:31 That's awesome! Yeah, Lehigh Valley. The terrible logo. Yeah. Yeah. If you're not familiar, I think we've talked about Squamunk on this show before, haven't we? I don't know. Okay, well, Squamank,
Starting point is 00:32:46 I learned this from Red Webb, Jillian, who was the writer-producer for that show for a long time, wrote about this forever ago. Squamk is a cryptid that's so ugly, it knows it's ugly and it cries all the time. That's its whole thing. Yeah. So instead of like, oh, a cool, interesting character,
Starting point is 00:33:10 the Iron Pigs have said, guys, we got to make Squamk merch. Gavin, look at how fucking ugly is stuff. That's pretty rough. It's absolutely disgusting to look at. Just the text with all the nodules and hair on it. The primary jersey looks like AI. Yeah, why isn't it so shiny? Well, what's...
Starting point is 00:33:38 It looks so bad because it's just, it's fake-ass polyester, whatever. but here's the thing. It says Lehigh Valley squank and you're like, damn, that's crazy. Is the pig on the bottom of the jersey or is he hiding in the brush? I think he's hiding in the brush, right? There's no way you can put him
Starting point is 00:33:56 at the bottom of this jersey. No, not like that. That's vile. Yeah. Disgusting. It can't be done. Absolutely disgusting. Oh.
Starting point is 00:34:04 I know what I'm getting Nick for Christmas. So what? You want to throw out the first pitch there or something or what? I think Gavin should. I don't know if I could take the... Ooh. I've already thrown out of first pitch. It's been done, you know?
Starting point is 00:34:16 Yeah, but we want you to do more. I mean, I'll do it at another level. You know, like if I want to do it at major league level or like Savannah Bananas level or something. But I feel like I've conquered AAA. The car company? What about double A? Well, then we're going backwards. What about high school?
Starting point is 00:34:29 I'd rather share the limelight with someone like Gavin. Well, maybe we can get Millie to stand right in front of the bat. Yeah, if you have something to throw at. Yeah. God damn. I wonder if Millie remembers that or just remembers us telling it. It's my experience that Millie doesn't remember anything before the age of like 11. So, yeah, I think she remembers us talking about it.
Starting point is 00:34:56 Speaking of community creations, and I want to circle back to this before we get too far away, I got a great email from Tobin, who's done art for us, who has done stuff for the show in the past. and this was just a random email I received with the subject line merch idea from my brother Hey Andrew Hope everything's going well My brother Austin is a big fan of the rag pot
Starting point is 00:35:23 And he sketched up these merch concepts He asked if I could pass them on to you As a potential products I believe it has something to do with something Gavin said recently I'm sure it makes sense to you Thanks Let me drop in
Starting point is 00:35:36 your Discord This merch document It is incredible I'm a big fan of all this Oh shit Fram merch ideas Shirt or patch From to Fram
Starting point is 00:35:49 From Fram Patch that says From Fram Patch to write in Where from slash Fram P shirt Front Fram Back Frum
Starting point is 00:35:57 From om Fram The script Of a lunatic Frate This is what they find In a room After and event
Starting point is 00:36:10 Yeah, like this is, this is found in an FBI raid. Oh, I love that. This would be written on a wall in blood or shit. I really like from, preposition, where I was from, not where I'm Fram, Fram, preposition. Where I am from, not where I was from. I really, really, really like it. It made me so happy. It was a great raid.
Starting point is 00:36:40 them email to receive. The patch is perfect. I think the patch is such a good idea of doing From and you fill it out and then Fram and you fill it out. I think that's so good. I love the shirt that says Fram in the front and From. I'm also looking at these words for too long and they don't look like words in the way. Well, Fram isn't a word, but Frum starts to kind of lose it. I think we could make the patch and the Fram from shirt pretty easily. We need to we should compensate Tobin's brother. Should we call him? How would, what, do we know what Tobin's brother's name is? Is it Tabin or?
Starting point is 00:37:15 Austin. Oh, Austin, that's right. Yeah. You think his brother's name is Tabin? A real from or Fram situation, maybe, you know? Tobin Tabbin. So this is, this is from, this is from Austin, but it's Fram Tobin? Yes.
Starting point is 00:37:31 Yes. Yes. Yeah. Exactly right. Oh, I've just, I've read it too much. And now this is from Fram all over my eyes. that I can't do it. This is...
Starting point is 00:37:43 Jeff, I know that we have a lot here that you make a thumbnail, but I feel like you could pick the scribblings out of this and make a thumbnail out of this and it doesn't make any fun. It won't make anyone click on the episode, but boy, I love it.
Starting point is 00:37:54 Way ahead of you. Wow. From Fram merch. Let me write a note. What were you going to say, Gavitt, sorry. Well, I have a clip. Oh, Christ.
Starting point is 00:38:04 A clip. And I don't know whether you guys want to hear it, or whether Nick wants to hear it because it's, I'm going to use it to shit Nick. Oh yeah. Hell yeah. I want to hear it. I definitely. I thought it's gonna be a buddy. Me? Me? If there's a way I can save it and listen to it every day, absolutely. Alright, here we go. Oh wow. Gonna play the clip. Has it started?
Starting point is 00:38:24 Well, you know, it's doing the thing where first time I play it, it plays no sound. Okay. I just wanted to make sure that it was like your disc, the mic wasn't not picking it up. No, it's just doing the thing where it's still silent. Where sounds not real. So, Gav, or Nick, when you want to submit a clip shitting on Gavin, you have one. Right here. I got it. Got it.
Starting point is 00:38:44 Okay. There we go. So I just drive back to the rental and I lay down and I have an actually kind of a nice nap. Hey, it's Eric. Are you a giant wallet guy? Hey. Was that an ad mid-sentence? So just out of curiosity, are you guys a giant wallet guy?
Starting point is 00:39:05 Check out Ridge wallets. Not mid-sentencing because Jeff stops down on the next thing. He says, let me double check my notes. So that was a natural breaking point Because- It was a natural break in the recording It wasn't a natural break in the story Oh
Starting point is 00:39:20 Well here's the thing If I didn't do it there I would have to have waited Until about 35 minutes into the episode And then all the ads are all messed up So I was doing it for the consistency's sake You're on Nick side Well I'll be on your side
Starting point is 00:39:35 If you want to be Anticipation Don't be on his side He's wrong No he is wrong But I'm on you know I'm willing to say it Sometimes you just need to say it
Starting point is 00:39:43 those words. I'm definitely team neck on this. Yeah, thank you. Listen, you build anticipation. You keep more. The more you're explaining the position. Yeah, I was going to say, I was on your side until you started showing that it's like, this is deliberate and here are all my directorial reasons why. I mean, that is, that that is a thought process when I'm placing ads. Can I place the ad next week? No. Yeah, you can try. That's the first time Gavin has presented a Gavin idea. Nick has completely... Montage of windmills and flying off of things in GTA. Yeah, Nick loves my ideas normally.
Starting point is 00:40:28 That's crazy. Oh, I just felt on the spot. I'm sorry. Yeah, sure. Yeah, can you tell me what you think? Oh, yeah, I'll just type a time code. Okay. Now, it doesn't work that way, right?
Starting point is 00:40:38 There are rules. There are rules. There are rules to add copy. He's just going to type a time code and make Nick did the work, though. Well, I'm not the editor. You want to hand me the files? Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:40:48 And then it'll be, like, you won't even know where it is. Yeah. Do you want that? Yes. This is the craziest game of chicken. Yeah, this is a weird chicken. And also, do you think Gavin made an extended pause there so he'd remember that's where he wants to put the ad ring?
Starting point is 00:41:14 It's too late. to do it earlier. 20 minutes. What sucks is that the better version of these episodes don't have ads when they're on Patreon. So they'd miss out on the whole bit anyway. Yeah, that's fine. And then you're bringing it up here. So they get both of it, check out Ridge Wallets.
Starting point is 00:41:26 Whoa! Double whammy! There you go. They didn't sponsor this episode. Yeah, probably not. Nick, cut that out. Yeah, this is this episode sponsored by Squalunk. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:38 I, uh, I've been doing some research. doing some research. I've been doing some digging old games. And I found a let's play game that I am so excited to play with Gavin. Of all people, this is a shockingly obscure title from my research of trying to even find it. There's not a lot of information on this game. I'm curious if you guys have ever heard of it. I'm going to drop the screenshot of the front of the box right now. NFL's instant replay. No. Wait. Do you get to be the rough? Play-by-play by Pat Summer. All official hypertext NFL rulebook included,
Starting point is 00:42:19 you make the call on more than 300 tough NFL plays. Oh, this is cool! One or two-player modes. So wait, you have to like say what, like, what the result of what happened is? Yes, how it works. There's like only one video I was able to find on YouTube of somebody playing it.
Starting point is 00:42:35 It's an FMV game, so it is awesome. Let me show you the back of the box so you can see that FMV action in the bottom right, little ref just standing with his leg up. A little knee up on a bench. They play, they play a play from the NFL. And then as soon as it ends, it gives you four options of who did the penalty.
Starting point is 00:42:58 What team did the penalty and what should the, the, like, thing be? Whoa. Damn, that's awesome. And if there's ever a thing for Gavin to be a ruling of, you can become a Super Bowl ref in one playthrough of this game. That would teach me the game as well. No, not really. I saw, because they don't explain real.
Starting point is 00:43:16 So they'll show the play. They won't explain any of the base rules. They'll just show the play and say, okay, what went wrong? Whose fault was that? Also, the rules have changed 10 times since then, probably. Oh, absolutely. Oh, they didn't mess with the rules? Every season.
Starting point is 00:43:30 Constantly. Every season. Whoa. Why don't they bring in some fun ones then? How do you mean? Like what? What to you would be a fun rule and maybe it's there? Maybe it already exists.
Starting point is 00:43:41 Oh, yeah. Like play a whole quarter without stopping. Play a whole. No deal! They have rich wallet commercials to show. They can't do that. Squawk. Nick, believe that out.
Starting point is 00:43:56 One of the things on the back of the box is, was that face mask infraction a five or 15-yard penalty? You're going to find out. Well, in 90, what is this? 95? This has to be 95 because it's saying... So incidental or intention. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:10 I think it's late. If this is 95, then this game... on the cover is probably the AFC championship game where the Chargers played the Steelers in January 95 and so I'm very into this
Starting point is 00:44:23 and I want to see Gavin do it. Do you remember that game so well because it's the last time the Chargers did anything? Yeah, pretty much. We had a run, oh my God, a run in the other 2000s where it was so close
Starting point is 00:44:32 and it was just so close and then they left and I don't give a fuck what they do now. I want him to lose every day. This is. Dude, you ever want to poke the bear with Eric? Just mention the Chargers.
Starting point is 00:44:44 Ugh, God, it sucks. Instantly triggered. I just have never seen a game that was like officially league sponsored for any league that is from the position of the ref, which I love. And I want Gavin the ref. What's weird, too, when you, on the back of the box, showing the screen where the referees in the referee locker room? Like, there's a lot of, I think, ref in the referee locker room in that game. Well, yeah, because they're not going to film on a field. That's just a set.
Starting point is 00:45:10 Like, that's great. I never considered the refs having their own locker room I mean either until right now I never considered the refs needing protection the game opens with him going we only have two things to protect us on the field our whistle and this flag okay
Starting point is 00:45:28 I don't think you need either of those from a perspective of protection does that mean refs don't get dressed at home and drive to the game they should I agree with Gavin they should like why wouldn't they I think the last thing you want to be after a controversial football game is a guy dressed like a ref trying to get to your car in the parking lot. That would be a great business, though, is selling disguises outside of the ref exit door to all the refs. I'm not a ref, I'm a rep with a mustache, different guy.
Starting point is 00:46:02 Yeah. And giant glasses. It's like when you play Hitman and the disguise is blown and everybody's still upset with you even though you put it on, Like a post a professional game, just everybody in the arena upset. Anoid dots everywhere. Like you didn't hide your whistle well enough. It's hanging out your pocket. So in this game, can you control the playback?
Starting point is 00:46:24 Like, can I go frame by frame? I don't think so. I think they just show it you once. And yeah, I think you just got to experience what they give to you. Did they have like instant replay in the midnight? I'm trying to think of like what they would have had instant replay for. For calls. 1890s.
Starting point is 00:46:41 No, no, no. The, like, the NFL and I guess sports in general were really slow to implement, like, yes, and the referees can look at instant replay for like some of this stuff. 86. 86 in the NFL was what it started. Crazy. Crazy. Not even 10 years.
Starting point is 00:46:56 Not even 10 years of instant replay when the instant replay game comes out. Crazy. We'll be able to run this and set it up because I got an old computer. It happened. My bid was the winning bid. We can finally do Gavin's technical support in which he helps me set up a laptop from 2004. I don't understand how that's Gavin's technical support.
Starting point is 00:47:23 Because he's going to, I don't know how to set anything up. I don't know how to install stuff. I thought Gavin's technical support was helping you on your regular machine so that way it's like solving problems for you. We had this talk. We've had this talk. Yeah, there's too much personal information. That's right.
Starting point is 00:47:37 Yeah, that's right. Yeah, I just don't consider that. So. On his work machine? Maybe that's why he was a non-work machine before the work machine. But we bought you a work machine. I could still technical, it would still be more useful to technical support your new work machine.
Starting point is 00:47:52 That's what I'm saying. This is all, I know we've, now I understand that we've had this conversation before. Maybe I just feel like, yeah, maybe get back to it one more time. I'll tech support all your damn machines. I don't need any text support. The issue I had, the capture card, graphics card, not capture card. It was fixed. Andrew, do you want to mention the significance of this?
Starting point is 00:48:09 2004 laptop? Sure. Stop the link to it. It is a Falcon Fragg book from a famous movie producer who produced karate kid movies and the Oceans movies and it says 12 on the back of it
Starting point is 00:48:24 and it comes in a Falcon briefcase. What the fuck? Is this an Ocean's 12 laptop? It is. So the company Fraggbook or Falcon Northwest, whatever their name is,
Starting point is 00:48:38 they're sort of like marketing pitch was that you could have custom logos on your laptop. So they put it 12 Oceans 12 logo on it, I think, as just a gift to them. And it's got all the install CDs. I got a few other things I'd like to get set up for my 2004 lap. I just want to get on this laptop, see what we could do. Is that a cereal pole on the back? I don't know, is it?
Starting point is 00:49:05 I don't see it. Yeah, it does in front. It's 2004. At the time, from the research I've been able to do, this was a $4,000 gaming laptop when it released. Oh, my God. And how much did you get it for? 300.
Starting point is 00:49:19 That's a bargain. Of course, shipping will be $8,000, but... I'm not kidding. I'm like trying to wrap my head around what is on this laptop. Nothing? Probably nothing, which is fine, because I want to put stuff on there. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:49:36 And I want to try to see what I can browse. Can I browse on a laptop for 2004? There's no technical aspects on this, huh? Like there's no, it doesn't tell you what's in it. It just tells you the size of it. There is a photo of all the install disks, and some of them. Right, right. But I'm talking about like how much RAM is in it.
Starting point is 00:49:55 No, no, no, no, no. They have no fucking idea. I've never considered buying a computer not knowing any of the tech specs for it. I mean, none. Not knowing anything. I bet doesn't even have Wi-Fi. No, it certainly doesn't. Not at all.
Starting point is 00:50:11 You know, Bits are experts. I don't need the bits. It does have a cool sticker, Jeff. You're right. So you're going to share that screen to me, I? Yeah, I need to figure out
Starting point is 00:50:22 what cables I need to make that happen. Well, why don't you just stream the screen? I assume that I won't be able to open Discord on it. Maybe I can. That's what I'm excited to learn. There's got me some sort of,
Starting point is 00:50:35 hmm. Got be some, like, remote. That laptop is one year older than my daughter. I'm seeing if I can find the specs for it has a phone jack on the back oh that's for the internet it has a got a modem in it maybe okay I think
Starting point is 00:50:53 I think this is it does dial up internet still exist could you buy it in America? It must it has it must like there's like so many like rural areas yeah under the one square of sky there's no satellite okay PC magazine checks out
Starting point is 00:51:10 the latest way to blow 4 grand on a high-end gaming laptop. For your money, you get a 2 gigahertz processor, 128 megs of ATI Mobility Radion-9700 graphics
Starting point is 00:51:26 card, 60 gigabyte hard drive. Jesus. A DVDRW drive and a battery life of over four hours. Solid, yes, but nothing extraordinary given what else is out there for this price.
Starting point is 00:51:41 Adjusted for inflation 22 years ago, this laptop was worth $7,000. Oh! I guarantee fucking T.U. that laptop
Starting point is 00:51:50 never achieved four hours of battery life in the wild every one. 45 minutes. No. Max. You know,
Starting point is 00:51:58 it did achieve battery life, though, is whoopee Goldberg's Game Boy, Super Mario Bros. Now we're talking. I tested it. I put it in.
Starting point is 00:52:07 The save is still alive. It's terrifying. at least as of like a day ago was alive. For people that don't understand how those games work, the save is tied to a battery that is part of the cartridge, and if the battery dies,
Starting point is 00:52:22 the save dies, and that battery is from like 98 or 99. So it's sort of a miracle that it still is running. I wonder if 98 was the best battery year ever. Oh, it could have been. You could buy Andrew this
Starting point is 00:52:37 from, I think it's a company called Epilogue, but you can like dump. game boy save to you back stuff up and then change the battery and put it back on I had one and uh I wish I wish I knew where it was off the top of my head get you another one packed it away
Starting point is 00:52:51 but yeah maybe maybe we need to look at I'll see if I can find it and if I can't find it then maybe retrieval to make sure that the whoopi save can exist and you're pretty keen to do a let's watch in this right we have to we gotta finish the fight for whoopi how far into the game is she Dina she is like perfectly
Starting point is 00:53:10 in the middle, I want to say. Interesting. Stopped halfway there. I've got a lot of questions. If we ever get the opportunity to talk to Whoop Goldberg, I've got a lot of questions. Because some of these decisions.
Starting point is 00:53:20 Well, we do have her key. And speaking of key, I learned about a Whoopi Goldberg key that I hope she eventually sells because why wouldn't she? All time new key. I didn't know about this, but as I've been trying to do research
Starting point is 00:53:34 on what exactly Whoopi Goldberg's gaming background is, she caused a lot of negative attention towards Diablo Diablo 4 when it came out because she bought it for her Mac and it doesn't run on Mac and she was very upset about that and so she her preferred gaming platform which is a wild position to have
Starting point is 00:54:00 but that's where she plays her games okay super break out this is the craziest image this is the craziest fucking image I've ever seen. She loves Diablo. She's absolutely a huge Tiablo first. That's awesome. I wonder if she likes Diablo
Starting point is 00:54:19 Forg. It seems like generally people were pretty down on it, right? Three more so. I thought people like three more. I mean, that's a complicated question. Do you think that's an event? Or that's her office? Now that's a great question. Here's the thing. Let me see if I can scramble to find
Starting point is 00:54:35 this photo. I think. She was so. you have it, you have the key? Yeah, it's gonna be hard to see. I'm gonna see if I can get a closer up. It's the most, the tiniest key. It's really just like knowing the context of it. She was so active in complaining about it that eventually the creative lead of the game
Starting point is 00:54:50 went to a Whoopi Goldberg event and presented her with the key to hell, which is like a key to the city but for hell. It's like a way to try to amend the bridge because she was so mad about the Macs situation. Wow, we gotta get that key. So we need to be on the lookout for Whoopi Goldberg's key. out an entire plane of existence for us.
Starting point is 00:55:09 That's awesome. A whole dimension. Where do we put that on the map? That's tough. Put it under the map. Yeah, behind it. Yeah, and Nick and I's office. Yeah, that's true.
Starting point is 00:55:21 Yeah, it makes sense. That's, this is so, Andrew, what a find. That's so crazy. I couldn't believe I didn't know about it at the time. She was like, I guess, constantly posting about being upset about Diablo 4, not playing on Mac. The images from this thing are fucking nuts. Did it ever come out on Mac?
Starting point is 00:55:42 No? I don't think so. Uh-oh. She's still mad? Uh, well, I think she got her key and everything's fine. What was funny is that largely her complaint was she wasn't able to get a refund. She's very upset that I don't know where she bought the game from, but that there was no available refund for her and she wanted a refund for it and also. Yeah, that's crazy.
Starting point is 00:56:08 Diablo 4 on Mac Not natively available on Mac Yeah It's just there I mean she's not alone There are several First of all I mean there's a subreddit for everything But Reddit Mac gaming is a place to be
Starting point is 00:56:24 There are dozens There are dozens All of the comments are 10 plus There are dozens But she's not alone A lot of people trying to play Diablo 4 But only one has the key to hell hell. Only one is the key to hell and only one has her copy of Super Mario Bros. Deluxe,
Starting point is 00:56:45 which has some information on it that is wild. Not wild in the sense of like, I just, I have questions about, I have questions. There's a calendar that you can mark days that you played and add little comments to yeah, that's why I remember. Whatever you're marking. Write stuff in. There's some of those and I would never, I guess, say that Whoopi Goldberg is a serial killer, but they're... Well, she has the key to hell, so...
Starting point is 00:57:19 She forgot to... She wrote all of her confessions in a freaking Mario game. It's just like, why did you do that? As soon as an immersive experience. Yeah. Like, I don't want to set expectation. There's no... None of the messages or things put in are things that make sense. Like, there's, it's just characters, but it's, it's odd.
Starting point is 00:57:48 I'm excited to fully explore it with you guys. I just took a little kind of peek at it to make sure it worked. I'm terrified that and we'll, when we go to try to film it today. Yeah, well, we'll give it a shot. We'll give it a shot. I hope this works, because I feel like this opens up a whole new lane for us of content, you know. Sifting through celebrities. garbage to find their save files.
Starting point is 00:58:09 Also, a whole new lane, and I've never tried using the analog pocket in this way, which is what I'm using. I have an analog pocket, which is like a Game Boy emulating console like handheld, and it has a dock, so I'm hoping just functionally
Starting point is 00:58:25 this all works. I like that you can you can figure out how to capture and deliver video from a Game Boy. I like that too. Yeah, but... I don't know. You've definitely failed a simpler tasks, and I'm amazed that this is...
Starting point is 00:58:40 You don't test me. I won't test you any further. Feel free. Well, it's just because it's plugging stuff in, essentially. Everything's plugging stuff in. The graphics card. Is that the problem that you just wouldn't plug in the card? Is that not the issue?
Starting point is 00:58:57 I don't know. It's... I didn't, first of all, I didn't know that that was the issue. Second of all, I did push. We all told you. I said plug it in the graphics card. You asked is it plugged in and I said, yeah, the lights on. It's getting power.
Starting point is 00:59:14 I pushed it. That I said unplug it and plug it back in. I did that. You lie. Yeah, he does lie. Oh, no, wait, no, no. See, that was the misunderstanding. I unplugged the computer.
Starting point is 00:59:28 I plugged it back in. Why? That's not what he said to do. No, I didn't say that. He said unplug it and plug it back in. That's what you was talking about the specific part. The whole time we were talking about one specific part. You haven't had a graphics card for a year.
Starting point is 00:59:41 Do you think unplugging the POW is going to do anything? Also, it's one of the first things you do whenever anything's broken on the computer. We'll pass that point. That's the point. The point is I don't know where the point. Really excited for you to set this up, Andrew. Yeah, it should be just putting some HDMI cables in and plugging my Xbox controller into it.
Starting point is 01:00:03 That's another hurdle where I don't know if that'll work, but we're gonna try. Those docks are pretty hard to get. Are they? Yeah. Let's sell for a lot on eBay. Wow. No idea.
Starting point is 01:00:17 Don't sell it before we make the video. Don't test me. I read a fact today that kind of blew my mind. Did you guys know that grizzly bears are as fast as horses. What? Why don't we race them? That's where I'm going with this.
Starting point is 01:00:40 Because if grizzly bears are generally as fast as horses, there's a fucking Usain bull to grizzly bears that could fucking kick a horse's ass, which got me thinking, why doesn't Animal Olympics exist? Cruelty. Didn't they try to do that on Fox? Yeah, they did they? Well, it was humans versus
Starting point is 01:00:56 animals. It was humans versus animals, but I want to see like the rhinos go against the hippos and rugby. I don't know if they know the rules well enough. Benoms and bruises sticks. Speaking of grizzly bears, I just found out how big a polar bear is compared to a grizzly bear
Starting point is 01:01:16 and it blew my fucking mind. Yeah, polar bears are... I had no idea. I had no idea. They're one of the only primates. They're one of the only animals on earth that views humans as prey.
Starting point is 01:01:33 Oh shit. They're so big. Dude, to be that, like, I had no idea Polar Bear was way, way bigger than like every other bear. It's crazy. Is there a story or a cartoon or a movie or a Polar Bear plays basketball? Andrew? In the MVP universe?
Starting point is 01:01:52 Not that I'm aware of. You think a polar bear ever covers its nose so it fully is stealth mode? Stealth mode. Because the only black part of the animal, right? Everything else is white. I never understood that fact about how the fur isn't white. What do you mean?
Starting point is 01:02:09 Like it's like transparent or something. Or it's not, it's not, it's not actually white. What's the fact? I don't remember. I don't know this fact. It's like a common polar bear. Everything I know about polar bears is Coca-Cola propaganda. I'm all about it.
Starting point is 01:02:23 This is a common polar bear fur fact. Search common polar bear fur fact. You got it, you got it. Also, why is the sun bear a dog? I don't know. It's weird, right? Sun bear's stupid looking too. Have you ever seen a Sun Bear?
Starting point is 01:02:39 Oh, it looks dumb as hell. It's just like a, it's like a stupid looking bear that doesn't really. I love a sun bear. It's just a dumb, I like them. They're at the San Diego Zoo and you can see them and they just kind of look like idiots. You know the other bears make fun of that bear. Yeah, polar bear's fur is not actually white as translucent slash transparent and hollow, which allows it to reflect visible light and appear white.
Starting point is 01:03:05 I think that's bullshit and I think it's white. So what colors a polar bear in like a house? Yeah, if you put it in a blue room, is it blue? Wasn't LeBron James in a polar bear movie where the polar bear goes to the city? Norm of the North? Why did someone Photoshop a dog's face on that bear, by the way? Is Norm of the North a movie with LeBron James and a polar bear?
Starting point is 01:03:27 I can only find, I can only find Steph Curry getting eaten by a polar bear. War. God. In 2016? So what color? What color is a polar bear at night? That makes me so funny. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Starting point is 01:03:50 Here's Victor Hignaama compared to pictures. Did you make that? Did you find it? Dude, you did a great job. I feel like that's got to be the thumbnail, though. That's so. funny. Is he not in? He's bigger than some
Starting point is 01:04:10 bears, but not all. That's so good, dude. Oh, fuck. The Brown James Polar Bear. Nick, could you... I got a swore. Nick, could you get Dinklitch on that picture as well? I get a How many dinklidge's is a
Starting point is 01:04:24 polar bear? Yeah, could you just put a stack of dinklitches up against the polar bear? I just had my whole own personal Mandela effect. That was crazy. What did you find? He's in a, he's in a Yeti movie called Smallfoot that I just remembered as the polar bear movie. Whoa.
Starting point is 01:04:48 Awesome. But there is a movie called Norm of the North. There is. It's a Rob Schneider movie. Oh, that's why you knew it. So that was your Shazam moment? It was. Yeah. I, I combined as things that I just remember seeing ads on TV for both of them. Is Sinbad in either movie by any chance? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:05:07 I was just about to toss the same. It's not going to be exact. Sinbad. That's a pirate. I'm so excited to see the dinklage. Hey, you know what, getting close enough is going to be pretty good. Now that while Andrew's doing his own
Starting point is 01:05:20 sort of backwards working and Nick is doing this, how are you guys feeling being in year two? It's nice. Like we're in, like we're, that's really good. You did a great job, Nick. That's really good. Where's his foot?
Starting point is 01:05:35 Okay, well, hold on. It wasn't in the picture. I couldn't find him over his feet. Yeah, and he was looking hard for him. Do let me tell you. No! No! Cut that!
Starting point is 01:05:45 No! Like, we're in, we did a, we did a sausage talk. And then now we're in year two and everything. How are you guys feeling post doing a big anniversary spread and all that stuff?
Starting point is 01:06:00 We feeling good? You guys feeling good for like this year? Like, what's up? Things are better than ever? I can't believe, hold on second, knocking on wood. I can't believe how well the anniversary went and without a hit.
Starting point is 01:06:12 No tech problems. No problems. No problems. Everything just worked seamlessly. And everybody was like fucking arms in the air shake. Yeah, we did it. Woo.
Starting point is 01:06:22 It was like ticker tape parade. That was cool. Anyone else? Just me? I'm only 20% of this fucking podcast, you know. I mean, I threw it out there. I just wanted to hear from everyone else. I'm like, oh yeah, I'm excited for this.
Starting point is 01:06:38 I'm very excited for. Sorry, I was doing research. I don't know what I'm an excuse with. How do you feel about you or two, I'm very excited for you too. All right, Andrew's got it. Go for it, man. Very excited for year, too. We have a lot of stuff mapped out
Starting point is 01:06:50 that I'm anticipating for. I don't know how the stream went. I hope it went well. I hope it went really well. That'd be wonderful because we have stuff playing for that stream that I think is, it should be a lot of fun.
Starting point is 01:07:04 And we couldn't do it without the amazing community we have. And I hope they really enjoy the stuff that we have planned for that stream. One of the things I'm excited about that Nick just got going is, uh, you've had this idea, and we talked about it a while ago,
Starting point is 01:07:20 like a long while ago at this. I don't give a fuck about these movies, Andrew. You have to stop. I'm just seeing you with Samad. I don't care. I don't care. Don't send me the Lion Guard. The Lion Guard.
Starting point is 01:07:32 Oroho. I don't care. Who, who played? What is this? Is this LeBron? No, this is Simbad. Oh. Oh.
Starting point is 01:07:42 Sinbad was in a Lion King. I guess. I didn't know what there was... Yeah, this was background. Sorry, Eric, you continue. I wasn't trying to... So, we had this idea about streaming more often, not really regularly, but just sort of like off the cuff
Starting point is 01:08:01 and everything for Twitch. Just like, oh yeah, hey, I want to stream this thing, whatever. The problem is, and we talked about this, is that it, man, if box the YouTube algorithm when we just put up out of the blue, like these streams, we have this schedule. We're trying to keep like this consistent stuff. So we're like the algorithms fine, whatever.
Starting point is 01:08:21 So Nick put together an unlisted stream thing. So we have a playlist on YouTube, right, Nick? Yes, that's right. That is just our unlisted stream. The streams that we do on Twitch, so everyone keep an eye if you're, you know, if you want to, I guess 100% everything we do, which please don't. But if you want to, there is this YouTube. that we're going to put in the description for this and then sort of make sure it's known
Starting point is 01:08:48 to the community so people can go and check. If they miss a stream that isn't part of our regular streams, that's likely where it'll go. And I'm excited to be able to have something like that. Yes. That works for us, but also gives a certain, like, demographic of people more if they want more for whatever reason. Without over... It's less about algorithm to me and more about just overwhelming the gameplay channel
Starting point is 01:09:13 with a bunch of like honestly not premier not that any of our content is premiered here but there's a difference between a one-off Vod and an edited let's play you know and we don't we just we like to keep it neat I'd like to keep it clean yeah I did a stream last night
Starting point is 01:09:29 and OBS doesn't work for me anymore it's broken look it in it just it's it is no longer works I can't stream to Twitch V OBS graphics card it's just broken I do have a graphics card you should turn your computer off and on
Starting point is 01:09:43 I did try that. Did you log out of Twitch and log back in? I logged in and out. I reset my internet. Which part of it did it? It was. Well, I just hit when Eric started talking about it, I tested it again. I click start streaming.
Starting point is 01:09:58 And we're not streaming, I don't think. Right now you mean. Yeah, right now. So instead of paying attention to the podcast, you decided to go live. No, no, no, no. I was just seeing if like it worked. Uh-huh. Looking?
Starting point is 01:10:13 See my OBS? Share my screen for a second. Doing textable. I mean, we're not live. It says it's streaming. Oh, it's live. Life is zero viewers, it says. But there's no actual video.
Starting point is 01:10:24 Oh, you've got to be. Yeah, what the fuck. No, there's video. Okay, but I see it's so it's not working. I see an ad. This is through OBS. I got an ad. I see the video here that you, no, it's, okay,
Starting point is 01:10:38 it starts for a second, and then it's just a spinning wheel. And so I think that your bit rate might be too high. Something might have changed. Yeah, and then it gives me a network error. Yeah, it only streams for like a second and then stops. I just crush my app. You crash my app.
Starting point is 01:10:56 I'm seeing your, yeah. Yeah, but then do you see like the wheelspin? Yeah, I do. Wow, this is a shitlet of people in chat. Thanks Schindler's Fist for the resubscription, 24 months. Really appreciate you. Hell yeah. We do it.
Starting point is 01:11:11 Andrew. I just seen if it worked. It still doesn't work. I needed to talk you guys about it because I wanted to stream I did I hit stop streaming Is this a real one or fake one like last time Says this
Starting point is 01:11:19 Dysphoric for life I just stream through my live pipe train incoming All right thanks Jeff DeSpiter For the Prime sub Appreciate you Fake Jeff for this is fake
Starting point is 01:11:29 Ignore this one It's a test Still doesn't work Nope You're also I think still live No How is everyone still chatting if we don't like?
Starting point is 01:11:44 That's what I'm saying. I think because my OBS updated. Now it's not. Yeah, did you update OBS maybe? I think I think OBS got updated. I bet Nick can take you through the settings and get it back up. I like that. Did you update OBS?
Starting point is 01:11:58 I think OBS got updated. A lot of thing you did. I never manually clicked update OBS, but I'm sure I don't, I don't agree with that assessment. Yeah, OBS is annoying about it. You got to click on it. I just, yeah. Yeah. I haven't pushed on it yet, though.
Starting point is 01:12:17 All right, well, we got to wrap this one up because we have stuff we got to get, we got to get to here. All right. Well, in that case, Jesus fucking Christ. This concludes episode 105, the inverse of 501 of the Regulation Podcast.
Starting point is 01:12:35 Thank you for listening. My name is and has always been, not always, for a long time, Jeff Ramsey. Thank you very much. Bye-bye. The one person that doesn't apply to that. Dude, you're a mess.
Starting point is 01:12:49 Bro. Bye.
