I agree. I don't know why that was a weird reaction. Yeah, Jeff. I I was weird about my reaction. I just laughed. You guys are comedians being funny. Shouldn't I laugh? Wait, who's being weird?

Me or Jeff? I think he's saying I'm being weird because I laughed because I think that you guys are there. There was a tone of Gavin's in a bad mood by Jeff with that laugh. I don't think Gavin's in a bad mood at all. I think Gavin's I just spent like two hours playing video games with them. Gavin was great. What are you talking about? Perfect afternoon so far. Yeah, I'm just saying that that's what the tone that was delivered.

Not that that was intentional, but that is how it kind of came across to me. I feel like if anybody's in a bad mood, it's probably the one who's pointing fingers at other people for being in. Oh, I'm in a great mood. Being honest with you. I had a little gap between our gear session. I was in the discord the whole time for it. Is it a bad mood finger pointer?

No, I don't think so. I'm just happy we haven't even started a podcast yet. And Andrew's already started. All right. Should we get to it? I think Nick's in a bad mood. What? No, we fed him this morning for 100 percent. He's in a great mood. Yeah. All right. Here we go.

Hello and welcome to another episode of the regulation podcast. My name is Jeff Ramsey and with me, as always, Andrew Panton, Gavin Free, Nick Schwartz and Eric Badour. This episode five, which is a lot more about water like I get it. Two hundred and nine or something, maybe. I don't know who can tell I've learned to think too Yeah, do you want to go into it? Do you want to tell us everything you learned? Well, it's I Figured it out. I mean you guys gave a good helping hand last episode I really pieced it together later myself when I equated it to electricity

Just because like the electricity it's always going if I If I flip the switch, then it I use it. But it's always there. It's not like I'm creating electricity when I flip the switch, much like water. Water is always going. It's always it's always on the move. Just because I have the thing twisted doesn't mean I'm creating water. It's just I'm pulling from a resource. You thought you were inventing water out of thin air? Like alchemy?

No, just like I thought, you know, if I had the thing twisted, I was pulling from the water supply that wasn't like I was initiating water being created essentially. I guess. Yeah, not that I was creating water, but like I was initiating a pull for water. You were requesting water and it was being sent over. Yes, exactly Okay, so you like you requisitioned water and then they delivered it as like yeah, but that's not how that worked It's a bunch of doors and it's always actually moving much like electricity. It's always going

I just flip the switch to tap into what's already there. Not that I am actually creating electricity. You know what as well? What gas? I don't even I don't I can't see it, so I don't want to even get into that. You know, you know what we are creating is magic with this bit. That's not even a bit. That's not because Andrew Jen didn't know. No, I learned a lot about water last week, and I just wanted to give an update that I feel like I got my brain around it. And I think we all learned, don't drink the hot tap.

Certainly not if you're in the UK. I guess you're kind of right about that, from what I've seen, from people posting and stuff in reaction to that episode. Apparently in a lot of places you're drinking rust, dust, and rat shit. Yeah, those places are third world countries called the United Kingdom, unfortunately. What do you guys want to talk about today? I mean, I have all sorts of things like talking to you notes. I learned something.

You know, can I extend I'm learning all sorts of things? I learned that opera music, they're actually saying stuff and And that blew my mind. I had no idea. Yes, that no, I did. Do you think it was fucking sounds? You think it was like, I thought that it was a visual storytelling medium. And then they were just like making emotional noises as sort of.

I've never really thought about that. Everyone mimicked exactly I Listen, I didn't pursue opera. Okay, so I don't I don't have a large Breath of knowledge when it comes to it. I think my biggest exposure to Italy and I think was hitman blood money There's an opera level and but whenever you hear opera in a thing. They're just always going like And I just thought that those were noises I didn't know the that's that you could translate that just a foreign language, dude Yeah, man, they sound like

I Just like oh blah blah blah blah pizza. I have I've never seen an English opera I It fucking I wish you could see my face when I was watching Philadelphia for the first time and there's that's how I learned this There's a scene in that movie where Tom Hanks is playing opera for Dentist at Washington And he starts saying what is being sung in English what the meaning is and I was it fucking You know what? It made me want to get more into opera cuz it was it seemed like there was quite a bit going on there as far as the story Like a story. Yeah. Yeah, but why is there English is there English opera sure I've really

Why is it always like just Italian people go? Is there English opera? Sure. I've really? Why is it always like just Italian people go Whoa, what happened? I think they invented it and that's where it's most popular. Okay. Can I just say thank you, Andrew? That's opera. Thank you, man. Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do Oh That's you could be closer to racism without going all the way no

I just thought it was I didn't know cuz they're it's so loud. I wasn't gonna say anything, but yeah totally right Gavin Anyway stereotyping that I just didn't know you know I just keep doing an impression Helping your cake does it not sound like opera it No It sounds like sort of like five rows back from me a football game Yeah, you know what that last one did I'll agree See nobody Sounds like to hang out with your grandpa Gavin

Scenes of that Skype commercial It's the real shit. They kept them to get to stop singing Skype commercial. It's the real shit. They kept them to get to stop singing. So anyway, that's I'm sure there are other people out there like me that didn't know that opera was words. All right, let's get a poll going. Yeah.

How many minds did Andrew just blow in the way that he thinks he blew them? We should just put up a poll that says what language is opera Italian or blah, blah, blah, blah look it's opera language or noise that? Implies that I had an understanding it was language at all as I said I thought it was just supposed to be like emotional noises What is the most what's the most emotional noise you've heard? That sounds like you're singing La Bamba What's the most emotional noise you've heard? WAAAWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEEWEEE I know it's special. I just learned that there's a whole fucking story to all these songs. I can go back I can figure it out. I know what these are. I want to know what what's happening in the hitman blood money level

I want to know what those words are that when you like swap the gun and the shoot stuff guy you could yeah It's like a World War two thing or something where it's you can swap the pistol and have them accident Like kill him on stage while they're performing And then you could drop the chandelier on the guy when he's running over to like be oh my god to like react to it I'd never even crossed my mind that there was a thing to translate there, but I need to go do that And that's what I learned. I Don't think I learned anything else. I had a question when

Does the trail cease to be a trail? When do you just have a nut mix? What is the requirement of the trail for the trail mix so so you don't lead off with you're talking about trail mix It sounds like you're talking about a trail Like how wide does it track? That's a road. Right. That's what he's getting at. That he said. And he went, what if it's just nuts? Well, I think that's going to be what it's from.

It's going to be from people on trails. Oh, yeah. That's how it was invented. Yes, like safe food to take with you on the trail that you can eat to get boosts of energy. But trail mix. It's like saying what is ice cream, not ice cream? It's as long as it exists, this trail mix. But there's nut mixes that are, but trail mix. It's like saying what is ice cream, not ice cream. It's as long as it exists, this trail mix. But there's not mixes that are certainly not trail mix or is it all trail mix?

Oh, I see. So like if it's just a bowl of nuts, that's that's not trail mix. There has to be other stuff like like if you take out croutons, is it still a Caesar salad? Just lettuce and is just lettuce. Well, like yeah really the dressing probably plays a big role there, but I Was eating just the M&Ms out of my trail mix the other day and I devoured them I don't think M&Ms were originally a part of trail mix

Also, you're just eating the M&Ms out of your trail mix. You're just eating M&Ms That's the dilemma, but there were like it I wasn't though. It was trail mix I don't think there's any hard and fast rule It just says as long as you're adding equal parts of nuts seeds and dried fruit You're probably good and then maybe a half part of chocolate chips. It's kind of like whatever you make it. I guess that's fair I was just curious if you guys had opinions So I wasn't sure what I was eating at that point once I finished all the chocolate I was like, is this just a nut mix? There are there we got raisins and the blend. No, it's not enough. It's just what's left of the trail mix

What's a better mix trail or Bombay? What's a Bombay mix? Yeah, I don't know what that is. Oh, man, it's so good. The Bombay mix. I don't trust it if I don't know what it is. And you're saying it's good. Trust the frickin shotgun and Gears of War. I don't trust a lot of things.

Oh, this is like the this is like the weird trail mix where it's got like. Got like the other. I got you. I got you. I don't think you're allowed to call Bombay mix weird trail mix either. This is just so culturally offensive. That's really offensive. I like that, that's good. Oh yeah, that's great.

This is good in a totally different way. Like I wouldn't have said. I'd rather have trail mix than that, but it is good. Yeah, like there's no M&Ms in this, so what's the point, you know? Oh, Nick just said it's fine. What does that mean? Oof.

What do you mean fine? I don't think he likes it. It's fine. It's not as good as regular trail mix. It's like spicy trail mix. It's amazing. It's incredible. I'm on the trail though. It's gonna be hot. I don't see any raisins. Yeah. I don't see any chocolate.

Yeah, they're like... I don't want raisins in anything, to be honest. Really? You're not a raisin guy at all? Big part of trail mix though. Is it? I guess this is savory trail mix and I could get behind that. Seems seems weird to have something hot and spicy when you're on a hike. Bits and bites is probably my preferred savory trail mix.

Yeah, is that not a is that a Canadian thing? You have to post it. We're gonna we're like so bags away from having a trail off No bites is you got the squares you got the pretzel sticks you got the Cheerios and you got little cheese sticks Thank you. Nice. Yeah, there's different variations of it in there. Oh my god Yeah, there's different variations of it. There's breakfast in there? Oh my god! It's just like, probably the stuff that fell off the conveyor belt, or the cereal factory. Yeah!

No, it's, you know what the move is? It's a bag of leftovers. Well, delicious leftovers. First of all, leftovers are great. I just want to say that, I feel like that was said in a negative tone. It's, you can go, you can into a lot of good things, leftovers, but the move with the bits and bytes is you get the pretzel stick and then you cover it in the Cheerios. You fill it, you circle it. So it's end to end Cheerio and then you bite in that. And that's, that's

the spot. That's the move. I can't believe you all don't have bits and bytes. I wonder if it's called Mumbai mix now. You think they rebranded? All right. It's not Bombay anymore, is it? We love that candy. This is this is the this is the culturally insensitive episode. I have found something called Mumbai mix, but I don't. But it's not prevalent.

Huh? Yeah. The most of Bombay mix. Sorry. I wonder if you're ahead of the curve on that, Gavin, or if it's just never going to be. Yeah. I was just asking a genuine question. Andrew, you were saying what's the candy equivalent to the. Yeah, I was curious if there is a candy trail mix have you seen candy salad Well, yeah, I've seen yeah, yeah people making those. Oh, it's like half of my worms and dirt I

Don't understand what so you make the candy salad. How do you then distribute the candy salad? Salad tongs. Like this? Big spoon. But it's... First of all, I hate that. I hate that so much. Would you prefer like a chocolate tongue? I just don't want your fingers in my... The fingers are on the bowl.

There's no fingers in the, in the candy. Look at that thumb. Anyone who can conceive the image of the show. The thumb not touching candy? That thumb is on the inside and they are scooping that way. You cannot tell me that thumb is not getting in the mix. I mean, they should be using another spoon. Yeah.

But I think that's fine. My issue is not necessarily what I meant is whenever I see these, there's 50 pounds of candy that they put into an open dish. And then it's like, what are you going to do with it? Also, it's just layered in a way that you're not going to enjoy a mix of everybody's thing. You're just doing one section at a time. It is not like a variety where I feel like the joy of a trail mix is you get a little bit of peanut, get a little bit of cashew. Well, that's just depending on how it's mixed.

I'm just telling you that if you toss your candy salad, it's probably fine. Do you toss your candy salad, Gavin? Do you toss your candy salad, Gavin? You're complaining about this with all the same issues that a regular salad has that we've solved hundreds of years ago by tossing it. It's no different than a salad. Use the same salad tongs. No. And just mix it up.

Not even salad. Just mixing. It's the concept of mixing. No. Okay. First of all, I'm dealing with a bunch of candy amateurs over here. That's what it sounds like. You try mixing that gummy bowl.

Good luck. Give me that bowl. I'll mix that tongs easily, easily. Oh, my God. Yeah. OK. It could have mixed. No, it is. You do not. It is hard to mix a bowl of heavy gummy. I think you're greatly. You're in. It's going to stick to each other.

It's not going to want like a salad. You can just throw that lettuce around and it bounces and different things. It it gummies have weight to them and they're hard to mix around. I could mix that so well so do you clean next episode bring the clip you you love bringing clips bring me a clip of you mixing a big bowl of the pile that junk and I hate it is

just going to be wasted oh yeah say I give it to Jeff I can't eat any that shit anymore I'm not I'm not I gotta take care of these teeth yeah Nick Eric you want to eat my tough salad Nick's okay. There's got Stop saying that it has no idea that makes sense What this guy think you have a kidney your kid would love this come on kid would love a candy salad Yeah, and he must be protected from this

Demomination exactly yeah if I was next kid if Nick kid has this, he'll become Nick and Nick has to be, tomorrow morning with monkey. I never thought about Nick being like a fucking werewolf. Like something happened to him at some point and this he's been cursed by this. Is that not the, the Canon of a hundred percent eat? Like Nick eats the food and becomes the monkey or is he just showed up as I assume some sort of transformation like barbecue fueled monkeyism? No, that's literally, I think it's just a man in a mask. That's all it is. Yeah. That's

why we always made sure when we made merch, you always have to be able to see his human eyes because you have to remember there's a man in there. Yeah. Yeah. Somewhere. A weird man. Yeah, oh, definitely.

So Jeff, you tossing any salads or what's going on? Yeah, I wanna know Jeff's favorite trail mix. What do we got in there? Oh, I don't give a shit. I'll be honest with you. I don't really care that much one way or the other about trail mix. It's hard for me to muster up even the pretend enthusiasm. I don't really care about chocolate chips, so I guess I'd go butter

scotch because I like that a little bit better. I like raisins, any kind of raisin. I'd actually over index on raisins. I take the raisins nobody else wants. Sunflower seeds, maybe some pumpkin seeds, and then any form of nut. I don't like cashews, any other nut. Definitely peanuts.

People fuck up and don't put enough peanuts. You don't like cashews? Nah, cashews are boring to me. It's a bottom tier nut. What about a pistachio? I like pistachios. I like all nuts but cashews. Cashews are a treat to me. Cas's a lower. It's a bottom tier nut. What about a pistachio? I like pistachios. I like all nuts, but cashews. Cashews are a treat to me.

Cashews are delicious. Cashews is like I'm not into it. I like your trail mix. They're like a creamy nut. They are a creamy nut. Yeah, it's like what you get on American Airlines flights when you want real nuts. I hate it. You're going to have your creamy nut salad, Tosca. Is that what we're getting at?

We're getting some smut. All right. We get some smut in here. There's. Is that what we're gonna do? We're gonna rain some mud. Okay. All right. This is the fucking time. There's a certain era that we're heading back towards that I don't want to. Hey, you know what might happen this month or next month? What? It might be coming home. Oh, do you really?

Are we gonna? Oh, here's the thing. I want to ask you to do a stream of that again, but also I want you to be able to enjoy the thing that you want to enjoy and not have to monetize everything that we do. We can all watch it together. I would love to watch it with you. I would love to watch that with you. I would love to.

When is it? I think the final is going to be in July. That's a bad month for me. What does that mean? I'll get him to move it. Yeah, I hope it comes home and I hope it comes home for the Celtics too, who I'm gonna go see play this weekend for the NBA. That's crazy, dude. That's so cool.

Yeah, I'm very excited. When I was in England just now, I promised my family of England won the Euros. I'd move back to England. You're insane. What are you doing? euros I'd move back to England. You're insane. What are you doing? OK, well, no, here, here. Is there a statue, a statue, what, statue, statue, a limitations on that?

When do you have to do that? Like, like you can do it 50 years from now, right? Like, and you're still filling the obligation. I wasn't specific on timeline, I guess. But yeah, well, that's fine. I did. I feel like that changes nothing. I did shake on it Legally binding now who did you make this bet with what's the other half of the bet? Yeah, what do you win?

He's not allowed to ever visit again I've gone about this the wrong way. It just made a bet with my siblings and my family. What's their team again? How about this? You tell your brother you'll move back to England when he does. Yeah? I'm just imagining you and your family dining room cutting a chal-son in promo against England. England! You absolutely suck! You win!

I move back here! You lose! I'll never lose it again! Apparently the odds are pretty good though, it's a really strong team. I don't think it matters based on what you've said. I'm gonna have to record this at 9pm every Thursday. Oh my god! We have to find another British person. Eric, can you put an ad in the...

Do we put Craigslist, I guess? Do people still do that? You want me to put an ad for a British person in Craigslist? Or like Indeed? Do people use Indeed? Is that what we need? Monster.com? Why don't we just shoot Toad in the hole first and then we'll get some contact. We'll have to try some different British people on

and then whoever Gavin hates the most for being British will have a new British person. What's James Buckley up to you? Can we get him? guy Do people still use Craigslist? I think you need to buy a used car or some shitty furniture. I think that's it I've been on a Denzel Washington movie kick where I just have been putting his name into streaming services and then watching whatever pops up.

And the end, I had never seen any of the equalizer films and the end of the first equalizer sets up him becoming a crime fighter through Craigslist. And I thought that was fucking insane. Like the I just I feel like and I could be completely wrong that Craigslist is not nearly as like a known thing anymore is used. And I may be feeling that way because of how shitty the UI and just design of that website is.

But he was like he made an ad on Craigslist that was like, hey, you need help. And the pierce is like, yeah, I need help. And it ends with him replying like I got you, bro And then and then they wrap it up and they never address it again. It doesn't come up He has a new system in the second film, but when did that movie come out? That's a great question Maybe like 2010 ish. Well, there you go. That's the age of Craigslist Really? I thought the age of Craigslist is like 2000. No Really? No, really? No. OK, I found out.

I found like the first like house that I moved out to on Craigslist, the car that I bought on Craigslist, the other car that I bought on Craigslist. In 2000, we were just starting to switch from like all that binaries dot Austin dot for sale or whatever on newsgroups over to Craigslist. We were just we were just making the transition. I think I thought that because Craigslist looks like all of those websites. It looks like it was made at that time.

Like it looks like the guy that made Ask Jeeves that immediately went on to make the Craigslist site. Hmm. Yeah. I guess there's no thrill frills frills frills frills frills frills frills It's a it's a no frills kind of sight yeah for sure there. There are plenty of thrills though Oh, God, you don't have to go that far a lot of things. I watch you to fuck up a dude on that site. It's crazy Well 14 years ago you could yeah, you could y'all yeah 10 years ago. What have you been up to Jeff? Oh Man, I I had a bunch of stuff. I had a new idea that I think is gonna revolutionize

the world Yeah little thing that I discovered recently that I'll go back No, we have to keep going because there's even stuff that Jeff said, you'll never believe what I did again. You know, and then. Oh yeah. And I don't know what that is either. Well, I had two very embarrassing things happen to me.

Well, I shouldn't say happen to me. I did two very embarrassing things to myself recently. So those are two different stories I could tell. I don't know that we need to though. We already had one really embarrassing story with Andrew admitting that he's racist against Italians in the opera. And so I just I don't want to over index on embarrassing. So maybe we'll shelve those and save them for down the road or something.

Mario's pretty cool. Uh, I want to know what you put it in the slack. I want to know what you did. Yeah, you told us you put it in the slack. You teed it up. Because here are things that have happened before you've shit yourself yeah I don't think you'd be embarrassed about sharing you've broken a tooth here I'm gonna put a video up that Emily took this is yesterday oh my god oh no no you've No You've got to be Dude come on

So if you've watched the Reattaching a gas Covered in gas Oh Covered in gas you got a traffic away yesterday So yesterday I stopped at a gas station with my wife and daughter and we started filling up Emily's car. I'm proud to say this has never happened in my car. I'm always driving her car. We were filling up Emily's car and we decided to go in for Slurpees and then it just took a long time inside. We were getting snacks and when we came all out, we all just jumped in the car and we decided to go in for slurpees and then it just took a long time inside we were getting snacks and we came

All out we all just jumped in the car and drove away and then I heard a kathunk and then Emily and Emily said oh my god No, and I stopped and I backed up and I looked and I had driven away with the gas hose Car and this time Stuck around to see that I ripped it out of the out of the gas pump Shot gas all over myself Tried to put it back together But the pressure from all the gas coming out just shot it back out at me And then I went inside and I had to stand in line while the lady looked at me

Stinking of gas and then she said she didn't even say anything to me I said, um, I made a mistake. And she just pointed to a little dude who had a bucket, like a trash can full of cat litter. And he just like shrugged for me to follow him. And he just walked up and he threw some cat litter down and he stuck it back in and twisted it. I and then it reconnected.

And he said, OK, you're good. And I went, this happens a lot, huh? And he said, no. And then that's it. That's so good. I want to give you the benefit of the doubt because this can happen to anyone. It does happen.

It sucks. It does happen. And that's okay. Jeff, you're parked at the gas pump. Like you're like, oh, yeah, this took a long time for us to get Slurpees. You want to go one further to the. I didn't do it at the same gas station, but I was next door to the same gas station. I did it at last time, like the gas station share a parking lot in an L.

I could ask like what's changed? Is it starting your car? No, here's here's where I think it is, because there was a lot of discussion dissecting it for the rest of the day. The the the prevailing idea is that I have been so stressed out by roosterteeth closing and starting up regulation and my daughter graduating high school

and my daughter going off to college. And the other thing that we had that has been going on behind the scenes that we haven't ever talked about yet, which is that I moved in the process of this. I didn't wanna talk about it until my house sold because I don't wanna jinx myself. But the day after I found out Rooster Teeth was closing,

I put my house on the market, not in a desperation move. I explained it all in in so all right this week. It was it was a very tactical and smart move to try to create some flexibility in my life so that we could, you know, if we found a house in Michigan someday, we could find it. But so in the process of Rooseteeth closing down and starting all this, I was moved, I was showing my house off to people and living in like a model home and throwing away half of everything I have and then trying to find a new home and then the

day that we were set to to sign the lease on the new home, we lost it to somebody else and then so there was a period we didn't have a place to live and we had to find a place to live and then we did and then we had to move and that was excruciating and I'm still dealing with selling the house and it's just been so Much going on in my head. I think I'm just Over I think I'm just overtaxed mentally. I Think yeah, or I'm losing my fucking mind I think it completely explains the first instance of this occurring like I fully agree that one I think this was just a simple case of

Slurpy enthusiasm. I'm not done with all this stuff though I was we were Lee we were leaving the other house after getting the air conditioner fixed because in the process of selling my other House while it's under contract the fucking AC went out and I had to go over and spend 48 hours gonna fix So I was like I'm still dealing with that stuff I think I'm just but I was also having a fun conversation with Emily and Millie and they forgot. Yeah. So how is it 2024 and there's no like buzzer when your car is penetrated? That's a good question. I don't know. You shouldn't be able to drive away with that in at this point. I just, I'm going to never, I've never, I didn't, I've never done it in my life.

And then suddenly I've done it twice in the span of about three weeks. And how many times do you think you'll do it? Hope never again, never fucking again. So that's one embarrassing thing I did. I will say, by the way, something we wanted to talk about way back in the day when I got some people thought inordinately annoyed with Andrew for sending a thousand clocks to my house. The day they were supposed to arrive was the day my house

went on sale. I had an open house that day at like 11 a.m. and they were supposed to show up in the driveway, a pallet full of clock. That's why I was freaking out. And I was like, please don't send it to my house right now because it was going to ruin my life. Yeah, I started it first.

I wish we had those clocks now. That's the second thing I'll say is that I didn't know that you're doing that. I learned in the act of that conversation. That you are moving. Or else I wouldn't have considered it, but the missiles are already, I think, sent sent. Yeah, the missiles were already fired. Yeah, it was fine.

A crisis was averted. It was all it was all good. It was just it was just very, very, very funny timing. That's why in the episode you can hear Gavin go, Andrew, you know why he can't have them right now. I should send them to Gavin. That's what I should have done. I should have never put you in line of fire. No, no, no, it's fine. I love being in the line of fire. It was just it was just the it was the fucking perfect timing

That's all I think we need to create something or you need to like establish a rule That you are not allowed to leave until your car is filled Because I think that's the problem if you just stayed there through the whole act Then you're freed up like I don't know I see I see I can't walk away from the pump Yeah, you have to like yeah, I should you know what that's a I see. I can't walk away from the pump. Yeah, you have to return. Yeah, I should, you know what? That's a good, I'll take that. I'll take that note.

There needs to be like, you made the wrist pocket like a gas pocket where like you have to cuff yourself to the thing. So if you physically leave, it's getting pulled out with you at least. I'm gonna endeavor just not to physically leave, but if I can't adhere to that, then that's, I'll invent something. But I think you're right.

I think that's the that's the solution. I shouldn't trust myself to walk inside of a gas station while it's still pumping outside because something there's a breakdown in communication in my brain that happens on the way out. And it's yeah. I do it as like a borderlands game, and I'm just making the numbers go up. And then I realize I have to pay what that number is and the game becomes a lot less fun. But watching the numbers go up is always good.

I'm imagining it like every time you enter or exit a building, it's like memento and you don't know what's just happened. It's like, am I chasing this guy? Yeah, kind of. Yeah. What was I doing? I'm a bit of a guy pierce. Better drive off.

The other embarrassing thing I did to myself, I actually did last week and I do it? I'm a bit of a guy Pierce better drive off. I the other embarrassing thing I did to myself I actually did last week and I fucked it up in the episode. We were when we were recording regulation Right before we recorded last week. I went through I had some some spare time and I've been I just been having like fun making thumbnails lately It's just been really kind of you know, they're all For me, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, but I've just I've really been embracing like fun making thumbnails lately. It's just been really kind of rewarding and insane for me. Like I say, thank you, thank you, thank you. But I've just, I've really been embracing it. And I always enjoyed it when we were doing F***face as well.

But it was always like a last minute thing. And so when we found out we were shutting down, we didn't make thumbnails for the last like 12 episodes. Didn't see the point. And it's been bugging me on YouTube anytime I go to our channel and I see all those last few episodes with no thumbs. So I went back the other day, like last Wednesday or something,

and I just created thumbnails for the final, like, three months of fuckface episodes and put them all up just so it looks... Intentional. It looks like it's supposed to, right? And after that, I was kind of bummed because I was, like, on such a roll. I was like, man, I wish I could record the next episode of regulation. I like I wish I could do the next episode of regulations thumbnail now. But I can't because we haven't recorded the episode yet. That's impossible.

And I thought, is it is it impossible? Like, what if I just figured out what we're going to talk about? And then I just try to create a thumbnail based around that. And then I thought, well, that's too that's too hard to nail because we go in so many different directions. But what I can control is what I talk about. So I was like, why don't I just come up with something to talk about that's thumbnail worthy? And then I can make the thumbnail now. And then in the episode, when it's over, I can be like, oh, by the way,

I already have the thumbnail for this. And if I'm going to do this, I should record the whole process and I'll make a piece of supplemental content where I'm creating a, coming up with a subject to talk about, then creating the thumbnail for it, and then giving myself the goal of in the episode, naturally bringing this subject up so that then I can transition into it

and then the thumbnail is done. And then I can talk about it at the end of the episode or never talk about it and just release the supplemental content, right? So I was like, well, what am I gonna fucking talk about? So I thought, here's what I'll do. I'll go to random.org and I'll put in all the subjects from Trivial Pursuit, the main five subjects from Trivial Pursuit and then I'll randomize it

and whatever it comes up with, then I'll do research on that topic. So here I am hoping I get like entertainment or sports or something. Right. And I get fucking confused. Why won't you just make a thumbnail about a gas pump? Well, that hadn't happened yet. Oh, no, but I also feel like it's bound to happen. That's what I thought you were going to get, Gavin.

It's going to happen again. Just get that gas pump ready. This said that I had the gas pump thing happened yesterday, dude. This is last week. Uh, if I can. The cat was less than 24 hours ago. The gas pump thing happened. So anyway, I start doing research in. I landed on science, unfortunately.

So I was like, oh, I got to come up with a funny science thumbnail. So I started doing research on the wildest things to happen in science in 2024. And the best I could come up with is that there's a, they just are about to release 4 billion mosquitoes into the wild that are genetically altered so that any lady mosquitoes, mosquitoes they have sex with, they make eggs, but the eggs don't ever hatch and it's supposed to kill out all the mosquitoes, right? Or control the population.

So I thought- The genophage. Yeah, and I thought like, that's kind of funny. Maybe I could talk about how unintended consequences, like they release four billion mosquitoes out, that when they have sex, they basically create, they ruin society, and I was like, you know, unintended consequences,

like what if it transfers to humans? You know, the crop should dudes that every time they fuck down, nobody else can have kids. Uh, but then, or I got, or I thought like, maybe I could go this way and talk about, let it think about like not, is it enough to just make the mosquitoes should do this? Should they also be hot? Like, did they have to make hot like George Clooney mosquitoes that all the lady mosquitoes mosquitoes would be into? Right.

And then they would want to bang these dudes, right. Mesqu Right. I don't know why I keep saying it like that. And so anyway, I was like, that's funny. I can I can I can work that out. And so I I'm recording all this live going through the random dot org, figuring it all out. It's like a 20 minute video. I make the thumbnail for episode four, which is like a mosquito with a knife and a fork. And I'm like, perfect. Now all I got to do is talk about it in the episode.

And then. After we recorded the episode, I was eating dinner and I thought, oh, shit, I never talked about it. That is totally fucking wasted now. There's no point in ever. Releasing any of this content. So I made a whole fucking supplemental thing and then just completely slipped my mind when we were recording last week, and I just forgot about it.

You do realize we do this every week? Yeah, but it's not the same thing. It's not the same, it's not the same. It's ruined, it's ruined. I would know, it's fine. But we wouldn't, and I feel like the point is we don't know. I don't see how it would have been any different if you didn't do this last week.

I would have known, I would have known. But you would always have known. Not too many new anyway. You always know. Yeah, but if I hadn't fucked it up, I could be excited about it and proud of it and be like, yeah, here's an idea. But I fucked it up. And so now I just like I can't even must.

I can't even lie to you guys. I can't like try to pull it off. I'm too honest with you. It's been it's probably funnier that I botched it. You know that I thought my foot in my own asshole instead of just releasing a piece of content that I can. Can we please release the supplemental anyway? Because I feel like you're probably really excited about it.

Oh, yeah, I'm so I'm so into my idea and I think it's so clever. So we are going to release the mosquito content or not? I think we have to I record it we must I Don't know when yeah, we should do that Is it like you blindsided yourself kind of it sounds like I have exactly like I blindsided myself. Yeah It's like those mosquitoes are gonna get blindsided with the kid. I wish so fucking excited to

Talk about the mosquitoes. Yeah Yeah, I really was I thought you were just gonna drop this week's thumbnail into the discord. Yeah 100% yeah, I thought it was about to happen and we were all gonna go. Oh I'm looking for like fucked yourself. I can't find it. Oh, no, no, we can't even find it. It's not like a great thumbnail. Could the mosquito thumbnail be this week's thumbnail? I mean, now I guess it could, but it'd be better. Sounds like you don't want it. Yeah, but it sounds like you don't want it to be.

Probably funnier if it was the gas pump. I like the idea of the thumbnail for this being a subject we didn't talk about. The thumbnail for this being a that says episode four when it's episode five to. Oh, well, I can't find it. I it's in my Photoshop file. Anyway, that's how I'm dumb. I'm dumb in those two ways. I'm surprised that you didn't just bank a story that you were happy with.

I love that you pursued it the way you did. Now it's just such an interesting approach. The the exploration of the idea was the was the interesting part to me, not creating a thumbnail ahead of time to save time. Like it was more of like it would be funny if I could make this happen. And then I thought it was a clever idea. And then I couldn't make it happen because I'm stupid and I'm my own worst

enemy. And then like, that's kind of par for the course. And so instead of trying to rejigger it in the future to make it work in some way, I'd rather just be honest and be like, hey, look at this. Look how fucking stupid Jeff is. Thought he was smart for about seven minutes, but it turns out he's he's dumber than ever. You know, that kind of thing. See, to me, the the intense, scary moment of the bit that you're saying is the story not landing as hoped, like if it just doesn't deliver

the way that you thought it would, that would be my concern more so than like the discovery of it and the search ability more. You are really putting your flag down that this is going to be a memorable part of this episode. I doesn't land. It doesn't work. Now, see, that's not a problem for me because I have enough of an ego that I'm confident in my ability to land the story.

Unless it's about a horse. Right. I may not like the story like they don't all land. I definitely botched the horse down the mountain, but I had confidence going in that I would do it. You know, like I'm like I'm like a I'm like a 85 to 90 percent free throw shooter. I'm you know, chances are I'm going to hit the feet. Yeah. Part of this show is you just talking about

you're just burying yourself with things I haven't thought about in years or never would have known. He brought it up. He brought the thing I like about Jeff's confidence is I feel like a lot of the times the miss isn't as present to us as it is you. Oh, yeah. Hill story we were totally happy with. And yeah, no, no, no, I'm my own worst enemy. But I do feel like most of the time my my misplaced confidence works out. I can remember when I hit a fight, I hit all the home runs like nobody's.

Oh, yeah. That. But then like, no, you believe in myself and then it worked. So I just tend to believe in myself. I just shouldn't always. And I recognize that. But it's easier to believe in yourself than not believe in yourself. So, you know, I hadn't hit a baseball in 20 years when we fucking did that day. I just assumed it would work and it did. I wonder, did you play a lot of baseball growing up?

Like backyard baseball every day, but never like on a team or anything. OK, never mind. Then I was going to say, I wonder, like in your overall all time life, hitting ball stats, how much like if you looked at it on a chart, just did you did you hit more in that time period than you had as a kid? No, no. But I hit it was a lot. It was a consolidated amount of hits. Let me tell you guys about a good idea I had, though, that is a good idea.

I think that I won't fuck up. All right. Last night, I was doing that thing or I was in going through my pantry and I was looking for something to eat a snack. And, you know, like summer after summer, like after eight p.m., everything in your house looks like dog shit, even if you were really excited about it at like six p.m. when you bought it. But like from like 8 p.m. to whenever you go to bed, you're like suddenly you're like, I don't want this. Why the fuck do I have this? There's nothing in my house to eat. I don't like anything. Right. And it's only because it's your shit. Right. What if you were able to flag

something on an app that said like I'm available and then like whatever you get up for a snack, like let's say it's 9 p.m. you go to your pantry in your fridge nothing looks good. You toggle your app it says I'm available you get a ding somebody else toggled their app it then says hey for the next 30 minutes you and this stranger can switch kitchens and then you drive to his house and he drives to your house and you can raid his kitchen for 30 minutes and he can raid your kitchen for 30 minutes, whatever the fuck you want. And then when the timer's off, you just go home

because you want stuff to eat, you just don't want your stuff. But somebody else's stuff is fucking great. And your stuff has value just to everybody but you. So why not? Let's just like do it with our neighbors. Why not just go over to your neighbor's house at 9.30 tomorrow night, knock on the door and say,

go to my house. I'll go to I'm going to hang out in your kitchen. I'll meet you back here in 30 minutes and we'll both be happier. I feel like I wouldn't even necessarily need to raid the other pantries. I just want inspiration sometimes. Yeah. Like I would just want to look through and just take notes and be like, oh, I want to order some of this. I'm going to go and get some of that. Now, are we talking like you're binge, you have 30 minutes or whatever and you can consume as much as you want? Or is it like you got to pick an item?

You're not trying to. I assume you're not trying to like. Take advantage of somebody's kitchen. I think you just like you just really want to snack, but all you have are like, I don't know. Goldfish crackers and pretzel sticks and some string cheese. And that's you don't want any of those things. But your neighbor might have some peanut butter crackers.

They're like, I wish I had those. So now you can't. My my brain immediately goes to survivor when they sometimes have these challenges where if you win, you get to go to the other tribes beach and steal one of their items. But you tell them what you're taking. And it's like a thing where they're like, I hope they don't take this. The idea of like you get to go to your neighbor's house and have to decide, are you going to eat the steak that they just made and leave them with like nothing? I think it's so funny. The idea to be fair, your neighbor toggled that it was available.

Yeah, they don't want to share that steak. They shouldn't hit that on the app. That's it would always be a consensual state. The doors are open on both sides. Now, it's not a thing where like you get one toggle a year and you get to decide when that is. And the other person who is opted in as well doesn't get to choose when that is and the other person who's opted in as well doesn't get to choose when that one hit happens. No, I don't think so. I think it's just like you just flag yourself as available for anybody that's looking to snack swap. I think it would make streets less wasteful, too.

I agree. I totally agree. More stuff would be like this idea. Yeah. Yeah, next swap. What if we all just did it with each other? Well, we would just be hanging out all the time, which I'm totally OK with. We should just pull our names in a bowl and then you pick out whose pantry you're going for and then we'll just take it evening. Why can't I find this stupid mosquito? Oh, there I.

Your idea, Jeff, remind it's sort of similar to an idea I had that I don't know how to make work. But the best naps are always naps when you've agreed to do something, but you just don't feel like like you're obligated to go do this thing. But you're comfy and you can have a nap and just, oh, man, I would so love to have a nap right now. If there was a way to convince yourself that you could sleep through Like one of those instances without any consequences and that it was actually all okay that that there this isn't real But you think it is I would pay so much for that

Like a fake meeting type thing that I'm skipping by having this nap. I Don't know what you just said Okay, let me translate It's doing a round of accents today, but does everyone else here know what Andrew just said? No. That's a no from me. Okay. I have no idea. I do not understand.

I figured it was just, okay, Jeff found the stupid thumbnail. I like that thumbnail. It's just a cute little mosquito. Let's say it is 1 p.m. to 1 p.m. And you're you agreed previously that you were going to go do something at 2 p.m. and you're relaxed, you're laying down, you're cozy. And it's like, oh, man, you know what? I made this obligation beforehand.

But in a world in which I had no plans, a nap would be so good right now. This would be so great. I feel like the best naps are always in those instances where you have to you can't nap because you have an obligation you need to fulfill. So you can't do it. So you have to go to the thing like a pre commitment nap pre commitment nap. I want a service that makes me believe that I have one of those that I can sleep through, but there's no actual consequence. How would this service manifest itself? That is the problem that I've had.

You just want a feeling. Well, I want, I want like something to feed me fake meetings. But the issue is, is I know they're fake. I need to somehow not know that these are fake. I mean, if you want, I could, we could just go about our lives the next month. And one of the things I put in your calendar will be fake. No, because I won't know which one it is. That will just make me more anxious. No, because I won't know which one it is. And that will just make me more anxious.

Like, that's the problem. I need to somehow. Wait, so you need to know. I need to feel it's real for the nap. But it's because I don't want to miss the meeting. I want to spend time with you. That would take priority. But that a nap is absolutely enhanced by these situations.

Like it is more appealing, at least to me. And that is the problem is there's not a world in which I can both believe I'm actually skipping this meeting. Well, also like knowing that it's fake. I don't get the joy of like, you know what? I actually don't have anything I have to do. while also like knowing that it's fake. I don't get the joy of like, you know what? I actually don't have anything I have to do. I can sleep. Because then I feel bad

because I'm missing the get together. So you want it to be fake, but you want to feel like it's real. Yes, I need it to be fake, but I need to simultaneously feel it's real. I think it would be funnier just to sign you up for a bunch of different appointments and consultations Not tell you know what that Jeff you may have cracked the code if it's stuff I don't care about for things that I have zero interest in with people. I don't know that might be the move

But if it's low stakes, why would you even worry about it? Because I feel like I'm like if it's you and I are supposed to hang out and then I slept through it I'd feel like I let you down this for how I am and I'd be like oh man I wish I would have been able to hang out with Gavin well just give me a PS5 and it will be forgiven I'd rather show up and that wouldn't solve my guilt I wouldn't be able to buy my guilt away like that I don't know it's not how my guilt. I wouldn't be able to buy my guilt away like that. I don't know. It's not how my feelings work. I like Jeff's idea a lot. I'm going to I'm going to sign up for so many things that I'm not going to show up to. Like

I we get like that, like like a carpet cleaner consultation, window blind. Yeah, you're going to get like all the quotes in the world, but never pay. No, I can't. I don't want to waste Sierra Klein. So it has to be like group. I'm just like a yoga class. I don't understand what is going on for the last. It must be 10 minutes of the show. So wait, when he explained it.

You want a feeling that you know is real. A Schrodinger's feeling of real and fake at the same time Andrew Andrew so you can take up what you think is a pretty good nap Well, it enhances the nap. Okay. It's like the sequel to inception. It's like I see hotting your nap Have you never been in that scenario where you're like man? This would be such a great fucking nap right now, but I can't because I have an obligation. I've never felt that. No, no, never in my life. You're describing a feeling that I can't chase because I don't know that it exists.

Here's the thing. If we were to also do a poll about that, there are more people that feel that way than didn't know that opera had words. way than didn't know that opera had words. I got I got to say, just because the people who listen to this feel that way does not mean I'm listening to them for advice on. No, that's fair. At all. Are you saying that regulation listeners are a poor barometer of the human race? Well, what I mean, one of the hosts of the show didn't know what Italian was. So I don't know. Italian is I mean, I don't know what Italian is.

I mean, I think the hosts are a poor barometer. So you know what I mean? Yeah. So what's up, Jeff? You gonna take a nap or not? No, I don't want to get in trouble. So after all that, Andrew, what would be a suitable appointment that you could nap before and potentially miss?

Uh, I think like a group activity that you think is real, but no, isn't real. No, it is. If here's the problem is that in all these contexts, these are people I care about. Well, now let me explain. I'm trying to explain this, this, this thought process. It's always if I have a meeting or I'm supposed to hang out with someone I care about them I don't want to disappoint them if it is a group of people I don't know or care about I'm okay disappointing this random group activity

Who don't you like let's schedule some good activities with people you don't care Get us a list of people you hate and we'll put it on the calendar. Yeah. I want to help you out here. I want to help you achieve your ultimate now. Say you were about to guest on a podcast that you didn't care about. OK. Yeah. Well, I'm trying to think.

Just think of a podcast you don't care about now well That's not true because sometimes I care about the people even if I don't care about the yeah, but these are people you don't care about I Don't you're gonna be no anyway? Disappointing them when you don't show up for bowling or whatever activity it is you're set to appear on on how it's done in an hour No, that would be a problem. Nobody didn't know that's that's You're just a nap with my I feel like I'm a guest in that scenario and that like there's some expectation Where if I sign up for like?

Bowling Sundays nobody's gonna care if I don't show up. I don't know any of these people these people don't know me You don't think they miss you from the bowling team team No, because I'm not I've never been there I think that's what I need to do is start signing up for like group activities that Don't matter that will continue and happily exist regardless of my present to them. There's like not even a face to the name There's not even a face to the name. It's not like I'm failing on them. I got this is okay I got it. You need to go down to your local library or your local bookstore and you need to join a book club. Oh, oh, that's the move, Jeff.

Yeah, I should have consulted with you earlier. You need to join a book club that meets every Tuesday at 6 p.m. or 8 p.m. or whatever. And then you start you start that you plan your naps right before that Oh, what if you signed up online for one of those like seminars at the Apple Store you could learn You could learn like final cut. No the thing about here's the thing I like about Signing up for the book club is I can get multiple. It's not even just I'm missing the meeting I could be in bed and be like I'm supposed to read this book, but uh

Yeah, you can procrastinate. You've got a week of Go out whenever you feel like oh, this is good. I'm gonna go one right now book clubs I Don't even need them to be my area. I'm not showing up This is so stupid because you know so much the there's no even in your area you would never even intended you going it's so pointless I don't understand this until i'm back with eric I think you're right i mean i am so like should be in your area about there needs to be local stakes yeah Okay, june book club meeting three spots left signing up right there you go you're set

Book Club meeting three spots left signing up right there you go you set perfect dude you're gonna sleep like a baby no he's gonna feel so guilty that she's gonna end up reading the damn book and go it oh 100% 100% I don't think I'm actually allowed to go to this book club so I gotta pick a different one why not are you there are you banned from that one? It's named gender specifically in a way that does not fit me. Is it an Italian book club? Because you are no longer on good terms with them. I love Italy. I'm a big chicken parmesan, probably my favorite food.

Parmesan? Did you once go in there and say that you can't read books and then you had to leave? No. I can read. Throw some words at me right now. Fuckin' proof it. Whatever you want. You want me to say a word and see if you read it. Go ahead. Put it in the chat. Read that shit all day. Mosquitoes. Damn it. I was copying. I was copying and pasting that right now. You fucking got me. God damn it. Oh, God.

Fucking hell. You guys like you guys like, you know, you know, the little apple pies, the little hot apple pies you get at fast food restaurants? Hell yeah. No. Like at McDonald's or, well Top Notch has them, they're fucking great. They're like, what do you call those?

Like, are they called hand pies, is that what they are? I think so. Like when I was a kid, they were, Dolly Madison made them and they were the ones that had the peanuts characters on them, you know what I mean? Like you get the little cherry pie and they have like Charlie Brown on it or Lucy or whatever. I mean, I know what you're talking about,

but then you started talking about Snoopy on it or whatever. And I don't know what you're talking about anymore. Oh, you know, those might be before your time. Hold on. Snoopy hand pies. What? Oh, this is my whole childhood. Yeah, I know the pies. I know what you're talking about. I've just never seen them with Snoopy guys or whatever.

Also, also Snoopy is not on these enough. This is ridiculous. That's like they were really high lighting the human kids back in the day. But yeah, the cherry one with Charlie Charlie Brown was they're all good. I'll be on pineapple. The cherry. Yeah, that was good too. Oh, interesting. I don't understand why peppermint

patty would be on a strawberry. I wouldn't make any sense. Well, they're not anymore. Right. So clearly it didn't. They decided to sunset it. But anyway, I've been thinking about those specifically a lot lately. I don't know why, just because I loved them when I was a kid and they popped in my head.

And so any time I go to a fast food restaurant, I've been endeavoring to get the little apple pie or whatever pie they have. And I gotta be honest with you guys, I think the world is sleeping on these fucking little fruit pies. I think that they are rife for a comeback and we should be on the ground floor.

We should start getting into hand pies in a big way because they are fucking delicious and they're easy. Oh, the tort hostess, T.M.N.T. Yeah, that's what I remember. Yes, that's another great one. Yeah, that is I do agree that people are sleeping on them. I think that the problem is they haven't changed in such a long time that you know that like,

you know what you're getting and you know what you're getting is kind of like whack. Like it's great when you're a kid and then you have one as an adult and you go, where did all the filling go? What is this? Because I got one not too long ago and I enjoyed it, but not as much as when I was child. Is it because the child versions would be illegal now just because of too much sugar or something? I bet they're pretty close to the same. I bet the sugar is like a little different,

but also when you're a kid, your like brain isn't formed. So, you know, this tastes like magic because you've had seven flavors in your life. So I think that has a lot to do with it. And most things when you're a kid, you're having it for the first time or maybe the second time, you know? So everything is new and exciting.

I had a, well, like I said, I've been eating them a lot lately, right? So I had one at McDonald's the other day that wasn't great, but I had one at that same McDonald's like a week later that knocked my dick off of my body. It was so good. So I think it's a bit of hit or miss, but there are still some, I'm just saying, I just want to put this out there because I want everybody to have it in the back of your head.

Don't sleep on these things. Maybe give one a try sometime soon. I really do think that as a society, we're missing the boat right now. What? How do you how do you feel about savory ones? I need an example. Like meat and peas and all that. Is there a teenage meat and cheese on it still? Sure. I'm an example. I like meat and peas and all that. Is there a teenage meat and cheese on it still? Sure. I'm into it. I'd be willing to give it a try.

I'd be willing to give it a try, but it's definitely like a dessert in my head. But I'm like, I'm, you know, I'm okay with giving a meat pie a try. You got two hands. It's true. Very good point. That is a great point. You could stuff a salad and one have an appetizer one too. Have a whole meal. Salad pie. It is a great point good stuff a salad and one have an appetizer one to have a whole meal salad pie

It's the worst I'm a I'm becoming a new kind of guy by the way. Oh I'm gonna become a lawn guy You're gonna become a long guy. How are you doing with your lawn? I'm excited. I'm gonna mow it. Wow! Okay, I'm less excited. What do you mean? Why would that be an exciting thing?

I've been mowing my lawn for 49 years. Yeah, it's like, yeah, hey dude, it sucks. It fucking sucks to mow your lawn. Really? I just suddenly was looking at my lawn. I thought, I wanna mow that. I wanna buy a lawn mower and mow it. Do you want to come over and mow my lawn? You can mow my lawn. God no. I want to mow my lawn. I immediately fired the guy who's been mowing it for the last nine years.

What? And I ordered a mower. Just on a whim. Wait, wait, what? What? I could have given you a lawn mower. Oh really? Because I just sold my house. I don't need mine.

Oh. Uh, I gave it to the movers. Have you done it yet? No, it's fine. Are you sure that you're a lawn guy? Well, I don't. I'm going to become one. Wait, have I jumped into this too soon? No, you're fine. Here. Yeah, think about this, Eric. He finds manual labor not like charming, and he loves the sun and he loves to be out in the sun. So it's like a perfect activity.

I love like power washing and like painting walls. Yeah. I love like finishing the square. I understand. I mean, I get that. I don't mind mowing my... The act of mowing my lawn is fine. It's not the act that is the bothersome thing. It is the, all right, well, it's Friday and I have some time. Is this what

I'm doing with my time? I'll put it off for a day. Uh-oh, it's Saturday. I got to do this thing. Oh, shit, I put it off for another day. Uh-oh, it's Sunday. It's only getting longer and this is forever. I don't think I would procrastinate that. I think I would use that as my procrastination. Really? Yeah. You'll learn not to procrastinate pretty fast because once it gets out of control, it's like three times the work. Oh, shit. Yeah. We are on completely different ends of the spectrum, which I love. I'm loading up procrastination. I'm throwing it on. I'm putting the weights on the procrastination scale.

I'm excited when I have laundry to fold or something because it's like, oh, I'm going to sit down and fold laundry and like watch watch an episode or something instead of edit. What are you guys watching right now? Every Denzel movie available. right right so Roman J is real I he got game I watched that's a good movie the mighty Quinn he got game is Ray Allen right isn't he the one that plays yeah yeah yeah yeah it's another one I watch Antoine Fisher that movie's a real bummer when you realize it's a

true story that was unfortunate I didn't realize it's a real bummer when you realize it's a true story. That was unfortunate. I didn't realize it was a real thing until it ended. Survivor just ended. It was one of the best seasons in a long time, I thought. That was really good. I haven't watched any of it, I need to watch it. I watched, have you guys seen that show Expedition from Hell on HBO?

No. No. It's a documentary about this Israeli special forces dude who in his 60s to fight to raise money for cancer awareness for kids that have cancer because he's a cancer survivor. He decides he's going to cross the entirety of the Amazon from one coast to the other 5,000 straight miles. Nobody's ever done it in the history of humanity. And it's just a documentary about him being a lunatic and probably a charlatan and stealing money and all kinds of nonsense that goes along with it. It's pretty it's pretty insane. I liked it.

That's awesome. Can I propose that we want I want to watch something with some of you guys because I don't know that I don't. I want to watch it by myself. But I mean Gavin's going to have no interest. But Jeff I think maybe you do. Is it a racer head? I'll watch it with you. I watch mean, Gavin's going to have no interest, but Jeff, I think maybe you do. Is it a racer head? I'll watch it with you. I'll watch it with Gavin. Oh, the clippers. Yeah. Are you watching? Are you watching clipped?

I haven't watched it yet, but I'm going to. Is it good? Me neither. I want to watch it so Bad I want to I really want to watch it because it looks goofy as shit I think this is supposed to be JJ Fred. Yep. Oh my god Chris oh Let's have a watch party when I get back when I get home from Boston It I really do like if you want to watch that I will sit down we can stream it together and watch it I would love to wait Lauren's gonna look so much like Doc Rivers there. You're going to Boston to watch the game

Go to Boston to the game. I They're playing Dallas I'm gonna see him. Oh, doing? I'm going to see him. I'm going to see him. That's insane. Allow me to retort. First off, it's a birthday present to me from my wife. Secondly, I have the opportunity to see Boston play in the finals at the Garden.

And you think I'm going to pass that up? Like, there's no way in hell I'm going to pass it up. I'm not going to make no mistake about it. I'm going to Dallas to see a second finals game. I will go to two finals game. And if it goes to seven, I'll go to three and sell some blood or something. But I didn't have any say so over the first game. That was my wife booking a trip for me from my birthday.

It just it just never occurred to me that you were leaving the state of Texas. Oh, yeah, I'm doing more than that, dude. We're doing way more than that. We're going to Chicago and then Boston, because my wife, my wife's sister is going to Chicago to surprise her best friend and her husband, who are going to Chicago for the weekend. And they're going to do like an architectural tour on a boat. So my wife's sister decided that she's just going to get tickets and show up

on the boat and just run into them and be like, oh, what a surprise. We're both here. And then so Emily thought it would be funny if we also show up on the boat and surprise all of them. So getting up at four in the morning tomorrow to fly to Chicago so I can get on like a nine a.m. boat so I could surprise people that's so then I can turn around and go to Boston the next day to go see the Celtics play at home for game two of the finals and then I'll turn around and come right back to close on my house it's like when we all

work up at five to surprise you in Vegas oh yeah I'm returning the favor You know what I'm not doing I guess what I'm not doing what a walking group and a sketch group And I did it on our company email, so you guys know I'm busy at that time that those are nap hours So that's gonna be in our company calendar Yeah, it's on the calendar at least I tried to yes, so am I gonna get a lot for this I think you should Saturday you're gonna see it I got it booked from 9 until noon that'll be the time for us all to start calling Andrew's umi digi and trying to wake him up I never thought I would have to interact with that umi did you so much? Oh?

All the time I have to interact with it later Because I have to log into stuff, so I got a umi didgy fucking codes after this so let's let's wrap up So we can do some umi didgy codes Yep That's the plan That's forever huh this frickin umi didgy? This frickin' OmeDigi situation? No, you're gonna send me a phone. Oh!

Yeah, remember how that was supposed to happen? One last thing as we wrap up and Gavin gets the phone ready. When we were first starting, I asked everybody what year they were born in because I was putting something together for So Alright, and I had so much fun with it. I thought I would try it with y'all, do it with y'all too. Do you guys know what the number one song in Billboard was the year you were born? Just off the top of your head?

Oh. No. I looked it up for everybody. Okay. Mine, 1975, the Billboard number one year end song, or the song for the year, is unfortunately, Love Will Keep Us Together by Captain and Tenille, which is a absolute dog shit song.

How does that go? Love will keep us together. Love will keep us together. It's so fucking stupid. It's like introducing opera. Did you know in that song they're singing words? Did you know what songs are words? So my top three are so brutal.

It's Love Will Keep Us Together, Rhinestone, Cowboy, and Philadelphia Freedom, which is like the only bad Elton John song. Wow. That's a rough trade, bud. Real rough trade, real bummer. But for Eric, you were born in 1986. I knew yours because same year as my wife. The number one song of the year, it's a good one.

That's What Friends Are For by Dionne Warwick. Gladys I.L. and Stevie Wonder. So solid, solid song. That's cool, I don't love that song, but you know, it's like, it's not Captain Netaniel, so that's fine. It's good, it's a great song. Nick, I think might have my favorite of all the songs, even though I guess it hasn't aged well.

Nick, you were born in 1987. The number one song in 1987 was Walk Like an Egyptian by the Bank. Oh, awesome. Well, great fucking song. Great video. Great video. 1988 is the year that Gavin Free was born. And I got to say, this is maybe, yeah, this is maybe the most apropos song,

even the top five, top four for Gavin are insane. Gavin, do you have top of your head know what the number one song was the year you were born? I don't. It's by a fellow Brit, George Michael. It was Faith. Oh, wow. Oh, the number two. The number two?

That's awesome. Number two was Need You Tonight by NXS. Number three was Got My Mind Set on You by George Harrison. Number four was Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley. It was a very Brit heavy year. I would say that's four bangers. That's pretty, those are pretty fucking good, man. And I would associate you with most of the songs except for Need You Tonight.

I'm pretty sure I've listened to all those songs every year since I've been born. Yeah, I've been born. Yeah. I bet you have. And then pulling up the rear is Andrew, born in 1994. The number one song in 1994 was Ace of Base, The Sign. Yeah. That is your birth song. So I think out of everybody, I think Nick probably won,

and I feel like I lost. I definitely have the shittiest song. But it was fun. You should go through and look at the list of top 100, because there's all kinds of stuff in there that you'll be like, oh, fuck, that's crazy. That was the year I was born. That is all I'm going to think about the rest of the day. I'll do that.

Like I'm the only one by Melissa Etheridge was on your birth year, Andrew. Crazy.
