Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello and welcome to another episode of the Regulation Podcast. This is episode 76, and my name is Jeff Ramsey. With me as always, Andrew Patton, Eric Badoor, Nick Schwartz, Gavin Free. Last Saturday, something happened to me. What happened? I broke briefly as a human being. You shot. I know.
Starting point is 00:00:25 I didn't shit at all. It would have been so much easier. I don't think they'd break them at this point. Yeah, that wouldn't break me. Not only that, but had I shit, my years of experience self-shitting would have guided me through the process in a much better way than I was able to navigate on my own in this situation. Yeah, just completely shit the bed mentally and got lost and didn't know what to do. Didn't know how to get myself out of the situation. I can't remember the last time that's happened to me.
Starting point is 00:00:52 What happened? Well, on the way to burger the car, I feel like that happened a few times. No, burger in the car? Yeah. I was going to let it slide, but, yeah, I mean, okay. I'm excited to see you doing this again, so go for it. Good job onioning the reference, though. Well, you were trying to get fungus the whole day.
Starting point is 00:01:11 So last Saturday, Emily and I, you know, it was, it's October in Austin, so it was about 94. And we wanted to have a nice little fall day, as you do when it's 94 degrees in Austin. So we were looking for anything to do out of the heat. And saw this. There's this new, I think it's called Connecticut-style pizza place in Austin called Smalls Pizza. I don't know what Connecticut pizza is. Yeah, what is that? I've never...
Starting point is 00:01:37 I don't know. It's a style. Supposedly the best pizza in the world is Connecticut pizza right now. Do you think it's triangles? Because Detroit is square. No, no. It's not. Well, it is, it is, it looks, I'll be honest with you.
Starting point is 00:01:48 It looks and tastes like regular pizza. Like non-Connetica pizza. Regardless, it was fucking good. And so, Emily and I went to this. Smalls pizza place. Is that what it's called? I think it's what it's called. And it's in this place over on the east side where you go into a, yeah, that looks like it kind of, where you go into like an open air building and there's like a coffee shop on the right and like a, I don't know, like a sushi place or a noodle shop and then the pizza place and a bar. And it's all like communal
Starting point is 00:02:16 seating, you know, kind of like cafeteria style, which I'm not crazy about. But anyway, so we went in and we ordered our pizza and he's like, it's going to be about 20 minutes. And we're like, yeah, no problem, because there's like shops and stuff on the other side. It's like a big complex of like different little, you know, curio shops and shit. And he gives us two Diet Coke immediately in a can, which is cool, except we're not going to sit down. So then I'm just like, well, I just carry this Diet Coke around with me while I shop, I guess. And I always feel, I always feel like I'm the reason they don't want people to bring sodas into stores, you know? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:52 I don't like where this is going. I don't like where this is going. You know, even when I take a soda into a store, I do think like, I remember there was an episode of King of the Hill many, many years ago, where Hank and Bobby were flying and Bobby was like 16, and they were sitting in the airplane exit row. And the person came over and asked if Bobby was responsible enough to handle the plane in case of an emergency. And Hank looked at Bobby, and Bobby goes, no, sir, and got up and moved seats. I feel like that's kind of how I feel anytime I go into a store with a soda, I'm like, if the person at the soda thing, at the, at the. store said, should you be bringing the soda in, sir? I'd be like, not really, no, and I'd go wait outside. But, you know, I'm on my best behavior, and I figure, I figure I can handle it.
Starting point is 00:03:34 So, we go into a paper store, uh, because Emily is a big into junk journaling. And this isn't as bad and maybe not going to where you think it is, but, uh, Emily, uh, Emily's into junk journaling right now. So we go into this very expensive paper store where everything is like, incredibly expensive for paper. And you're like, wow, $11 sticker. That's exorbitant. Anyway, but it's a darling store And as we're in there, I see a puzzle for snow I had previously purchased in a different paper store Because by the way, there are two paper stores next to each other
Starting point is 00:04:09 So we go into the first paper store I go into the first paper store Buy a puzzle, a thousand piece puzzle And Emily buys a bunch of stickers They give me a little bag. I forgot this part about the story. Then I go into the second paper store carrying my bag And my in one hand and my soda and the and I'm shopping and I'm looking around and I've got and I see a cool puzzle which is like the
Starting point is 00:04:31 only thing for me in a paper store honestly like paper stores over index and puzzles I overindex and puzzle love so I don't ever mind going into the paper store because I know there's going to be cool puzzles that I wouldn't find otherwise you know and I always indulge and so I see this cool puzzle of like mushrooms but it's on the bottom shelf of this paper store and so I go down to get a better look at it and as I go down to get a better look at it I put the soda in my left hand that's holding my bag so I can reach down with my right hand to grab the puzzle and I lean my head down too far I guess as I'm like basically on my knees and my glasses fly off because I had sunglasses on and wouldn't you know it in improbably immediately to the right at like let's say
Starting point is 00:05:14 my five o'clock is another adult man on his knees looking at a different product my glasses fly into that man's lap that man is wearing shorts short shorts my glasses are resting on his wiener and he looks at me and I look at him and I don't know what to do and I go
Starting point is 00:05:36 sorry and I'm like trying to get the word sorry out he's not helping and I just want my glasses back I'm thinking the guy's going to hand me his glasses back he doesn't he just looks at him in his lap and I'm like I guess I'll go retrieve my glasses from your lap so I'm like
Starting point is 00:05:53 So I reach over to grab my glasses. And as I do that, quite unintentionally, I pour my Diet Coke into, halfway into my bag and halfway onto the ground. And so I'm like grabbing crotching glasses and I get those back. And that whole thing is awkward. And then I turn back around to see the soda in my hand turned upside down, pouring all over the ground and into my puzzle and sticker bag. And that's when I broke.
Starting point is 00:06:26 I just didn't know what to do. And I just, guys, it wasn't long, but I just watched it until the, until I just froze. I just was on one knee with glasses like clasped in a claw. I've maybe touched a guy's dick. And I'm just staring at soda and sticky mess. And I have a bag. And I just don't know what to do. So I eventually I snap out of it.
Starting point is 00:06:52 And I look into the bag, and my puzzle and Emily's stickers are swimming in the bag. And I go, ah, and I look up, and Emily is on the other side of the store, and she hasn't seen any of this. And I thought, don't let her know. I don't know. I don't let her know. She can't know. And I look up to find the employee, and the employee is, like, helping somebody behind the counter very far away. And I look back down again, and I think, oh, the ground is concrete at least. It's like, stained concrete.
Starting point is 00:07:17 So I haven't ruined the carpet. And I just stand up and I'm like, what do I do? What do I do? and I'm spinning around, and as I'm spinning around, there's, the soda is spraying out of the bottom of the bag where there's a hole, like a little fountain, you know, so I'm making more of a mess, and I like, you get
Starting point is 00:07:31 that thing where you just like, you turn 10 degrees in every direction, you're like, uh-uh, and I just go, I got to leave, I got to leave. And so I start to run out the door, and then Emily is kind of close to the door at that point, and she sees me, she goes, what are you doing? And I go, I got to go, I'll be back, you stay here. And she goes, what? And I go, I got to go, I got to go. And I just left, and then I'm in the,
Starting point is 00:07:48 and she, I'm standing in front of the store now and I'm thinking she can see me and the employees can see me through the window I gotta get away from the storefront so I just run into the parking lot right and then I'm at the park lot and I see a dumpster and I'm like oh this is something I can do and so I run over to the dumpster and I
Starting point is 00:08:04 take the bag and I dump all the soda out and then I see that my my puzzle is completely soaked in soda and all of Emily's stickers are completely soaked in soda so I have like a handful of wet shit because I've thrown the bag away and my soda away and the only thing I think of is to go to Emily's car and so I go to Emily's car
Starting point is 00:08:20 and I open it up. And there's one napkin in it. And so I used the napkin. I use the napkin to wipe everything off. Oh, my God. And I'm on some kind of a dumb autopilot, by the way. Like, I'm not thinking. Like, I snapped into some kind of action when the soda stopped.
Starting point is 00:08:39 But I wouldn't say that I'm operating on any intelligent level at this point. Like, it's all instinct and fear. And then I, like, I don't know. what to do. So I leave that stuff in the car and I grabbed the napkin, which is now pretty wet. And I just run back to the store figuring I got to unfuck the store because I've spilled soda in this lady's store. And nobody's noticed anything. And so I run in and I just use the napkin to clean up as much as I can, which isn't a lot. And then I ran out of the store again. And then eventually I found Emily in another store. And she goes, what the hell was
Starting point is 00:09:16 that? And I was like, uh, I don't, and I didn't know how to explain it to her. And I was like, explain to it to it. She goes, I knew something was wrong because your hands were shaking and you were panicking, but I figured you had it and I don't want to bother. You wanted to be away from me. So I figured I'd catch up later and see what happened. She had no clue. Yeah. And then we had pizza. It was pretty good. I feel like it was a valid response from your body because you had so many weird variables happen all at once that it just caused like a full reboot. Yeah. Yeah. It felt like a reboot. Yeah. Yeah. You were running on pure like genetic, like DNA levels of instinct, but DNA doesn't know anything about
Starting point is 00:09:51 Diet Coke or puzzles or shops. So you just didn't really know what to do about it. And when I rebooted, I was in safe mode for a few minutes. So like, you know, I wasn't operating a full capacity. It's so much worse that you were holding the bag of the rival paper store while this was all occurring. I did think it was off. It feels like a targeted attack almost that like you came in with a soda and a bag of the other company being like, this is who did this. Yeah, yeah. I did feel some kind of way about that, actually.
Starting point is 00:10:21 Did you get your sunglasses back? I did. I kept my sunglasses. They were in my claw. With my claw hand. No, I retrieved him from his cock. That's like two pretty, because I had the thing on the plane when my glasses flew off and wrapped around the guy's leg and he walked off with him.
Starting point is 00:10:37 And you had it on the guy's dick. So it's like, what's happening this year with sunglasses? What's the odds of Two dudes crouching next to each other in a paper store, too. Like, it was so weird to look over to the right and see another guy at my level just as shocked as I was, you know? I'm imagining him sitting on the ground in this, like, full kid style. He's looking at the puzzles. He's evaluating.
Starting point is 00:11:01 I don't think he was on the ground, and he wasn't looking at puzzles because I was at the only puzzle part. He was looking at something probably much lamer. He didn't seem like a cool guy, that's for sure. He didn't act like one either. He didn't react like one. I would have been like, oh, let me get this. that for you, so you don't have to touch my dick or whatever if it had happened to me, but he was...
Starting point is 00:11:17 Yeah, take some cool guy advice from Jeff, the guy who ran up to the dumpster. There you go. I also have a note here, Andrew, that I wanted to, something I wanted to ask you about. Okay. It is the month of October.
Starting point is 00:11:31 Is that correct? It is. Does this mean that your chair survived the entire year? Oh, it did. Yeah, I didn't even think about that. Wow. Crazy.
Starting point is 00:11:41 Holy shit. That's the first. Have we broken the cycle? I think the cycle may be broken. The chair is not. Was that a Nostradamus prediction by Gavin? Oh, that might have proved me wrong, yeah. I think that might have been one.
Starting point is 00:11:54 I think that's a X in your column. But was this, this was a slightly late chair, though, wasn't it? Because the Herman Miller lasted like a month or something. I don't know. I think, though, it was the guideline was September. Was the measurement stick. You might be right. I just feel like if you started this chair in October or November,
Starting point is 00:12:12 I'm still going to be excited if it goes. Yeah, I guess like we're still, let's get through the end of the year before we pop the champagne. Yeah, I mean, it's looking good for you, but I feel like we should judge it again at the end of the year. I think that's fair.
Starting point is 00:12:25 I think it's fair evaluation so far. It seems good. No indications of breakage. Yeah, so it technically the, it was actually the very first Nostradamus guest too. It was Gavin who picked first, and it was Andrew breaks a chair.
Starting point is 00:12:39 So far So far so good Was it Jit? I wonder if was specifically my chair I'm evaluating Have I broken any other chairs Since then Because we've never heard about other chairs
Starting point is 00:12:53 You've broken apart from Jeffs I think the only yeah I think that's the only Other chair Yeah I don't think I have I think that's it Just my personal chairs And or Jeff's
Starting point is 00:13:03 Do you have anything else In your life That breaks quite a lot Like an unnatural amount Like, do you have to replace a normal object quite a lot? Oh, that's an interesting question. I'm trying to think. I feel like mic cables.
Starting point is 00:13:21 Microphone cables replacing constantly. I don't know how often. Like headset. You're scaring, Nick. I don't know that I've ever replaced my mic cables. No, not those ones. Headset, like Xbox headset cables constantly. I've done a few eyes.
Starting point is 00:13:37 To the point where if I'm ordering something from Amazon, I'll throw in a replacement cable, because I know I'll eventually need it. I typically have two or three replacement cables in my desk, ready for the swapout. Are you talking the XLR cable? No, no, no, no, no. Like a headphone jack headset cable. Okay. I go through a lot of those. Not a microphone cable, then.
Starting point is 00:14:00 Well, it's, it's for my microphone. I talk into it, right? Oh, okay. I thought, okay. Like an Xbox microphone. Not a podcast microphone. Headset mic. I don't know that I've ever heard them
Starting point is 00:14:14 described that way, but you're right, I guess. The mic, the, the, the, the, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. When I take my AirPods out of the case, I don't think I'm going to stick my microphones in. I feel like that's kind of secondary. Well, I will say you have a terrible Xbox microphone setup.
Starting point is 00:14:33 You sound like shit. So I feel. Everyone sounds like shit on an X- What do you mean? I disagree. I think my microphone sounds really good on Xbox. I think I sound great. Nick, you've never played with me.
Starting point is 00:14:44 I don't want to hear your reaction. You've never, you've only done... I've heard it. Let's place. Oh, that's true. I guess like when I'm doing stream. But that doesn't count. I'm not properly...
Starting point is 00:14:55 It's the same. It's the same mic. Yeah, but I'm wearing my headset on my headset at that point. I feel like that's not a fair representation of... What? What? What? What on his headset at that point?
Starting point is 00:15:06 You think they combined somehow? Nick is saying that he's heard me use the headset and that's when we've been making content and I've streamed and I've plugged a mic in and at that point I'm wearing two different headsets. I'm wearing my headphones so I can hear you guys and then on top of those is the headset
Starting point is 00:15:22 so I can talk to the people via Twitch. Okay. You could talk to them through your normal mic. No, I can't because I'm streaming through my Xbox at that point. And my Xbox isn't connected to my normal mic. Gavin, I appreciate you trying to make
Starting point is 00:15:39 heads or tails of this, but it's sort of it's like a fruitless endeavor. I'm always getting collateral about the quality of my Xbox mic. It's just the Xbox mic. It's just the Xbox headset with its mic. You have a, don't you have a weird setup?
Starting point is 00:15:56 I thought you had like a weird headset thing. No. Okay. Wait, what do you mean? Well, you just sound like you're always underwater. I assume that you're using like Airpods or something No It's the wired one
Starting point is 00:16:09 It plugs into the controller And then it has a mic Up the head strap That you fall down in front of your face Yeah, that mic That's what I meant When I said Mike, that mic Yeah
Starting point is 00:16:19 Is it like the default Xbox headset That comes with the Xbox? No, well not mine I don't know about his I'm talking about it, Gavin's Like I use an astro gaming headset Yeah, he used an abstract too Yeah
Starting point is 00:16:30 So you just don't like The original headset then What do you mean? Which one? Well, you like your Astro one. You think it sounds phenomenal. You don't like my Microsoft one. Yeah, I don't, I guess. I don't think anyone does. You're making it seem like that's a me thing.
Starting point is 00:16:46 I think what happened is there was definitely a time when we played Destiny and we were doing the Prison of Elders or whatever, where I did sound like shit. And that's because I didn't realize that Smee had bitten through my cable. And I was actually using the microphone on the Connect, which was about four meters away from me. Well, Jeff, you play games online. Gavin doesn't sound great, does he? Very, very rarely. I play games online with Gavin about as much as I play games online with you.
Starting point is 00:17:12 I think you, like, but I'll be honest, I haven't noticed. Interesting. I haven't noticed an issue. Okay, why don't you get into an Xbox party with me now, and I'll use the mic and tell me how it is. This is a great idea. I really like this. Yeah, is there a way you guys can do this for quick? Everyone get in my Xbox party.
Starting point is 00:17:31 Well, here, no, no, no, one second. I can do this in a way. Here, Gavin, I'm making a party. Okay. And I'm inviting you to it. One sec. And then you should capture your thing. Okay.
Starting point is 00:17:45 Yeah, yeah, yeah. I got it. Yeah, yeah, he's got it. I'm sending, I don't know who's available. I'm sending party invites to all you guys. I don't have my Xbox not on. What? What? Sending invites to everybody.
Starting point is 00:17:59 Just making sure everyone's invited. Oh shit, I need to get the mic. Hold on. Yeah, you go get the mic. Telling me, I'm not prepared. This is phenomenal. My other headset on now. Okay.
Starting point is 00:18:09 And let me double headset this. I'm like double headset. Okay. All right. Change this. And this will be a little fun preview for people. More options. Include party audio.
Starting point is 00:18:23 I'm going live now. I only have my Xbox headphones on now. Hello. Hello. This is me talking. Oh, Jeff, you don't sound good either Hey, what's up, bitches? I don't sound good, do you?
Starting point is 00:18:39 You, oh, man, maybe... Gavin sounds great! You think Gavin sounds great? Keep talking to yep. Oh, you know, I'm just talking to my normal Xbox headset for Microsoft. You sound... You know what? I was wrong, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:54 You sound fine. I was wrong about this, I guess. You shat on me for a whole stream when I was using this. I think Jeff sounds worse than you down. That's crazy. Why am I catching strays here? No, I'm not giving you strays.
Starting point is 00:19:09 I just, I think. Using the same Astro headset, headset you are. Yeah, you and R. What gets you using, Andrew? Astro A-10. You sound pretty good. You do. See, I think this mic sounds essentially the same.
Starting point is 00:19:24 Eric sounds phenomenal. You guys all sound the same thing. I have a headset plugged in. That's the joking. Well, this was a pointless test. I thought Gavin sounded way worse that he did I apologize let a post in the
Starting point is 00:19:37 stream or whatever who you think has the worst mic bye all right okay so we just came back from the test I was wrong I'm just making sure did I record I record it did you all right good just making sure because I grabbed it too
Starting point is 00:19:57 I don't have a headset because I don't play games online so I always streamed it live so we can just grab I'm sorry, what? We were live streaming when that happened. I assume we were live streaming. Of course he did. Of course he always does.
Starting point is 00:20:14 I was wondering why you said goodbye to no one, but it wasn't no one. No, no, it wasn't no one. It was like 140-ish people. I named the stream mic test. I wonder if that's the first time we've ever streamed during a podcast recording. Definitely it's. Anyway, I apologize, Gavin.
Starting point is 00:20:28 Sorry about that. You send her way better. I was just, I guess, you know, maybe there was that one experience and I just did has blinded me. I've had ear blindness. I think it locked in to your mind is terrible, which it was, because my actual headset wasn't working. Interesting. When did you unplug the connect? When?
Starting point is 00:20:50 Yeah. When they took away that port. Okay. I'm just, I'm thinking about all the times we played Halo Infinite, and I don't know what I was thinking. I don't know what I was hearing. every time we played halo in front of like 45 times yeah every time sounded like shit each time in my head yeah you were you sound terrible every time i don't know it's crazy remember that doctor's appointment that when you plan up booking but then life got in the way

Speaking of us being idiots, I was watching a little bit of the video that came out today, the GTA video, where we were hunting ghosts for Halloween that was recorded in 2024. Yep. And I was pissing myself.
Starting point is 00:25:41 Because Jeff was never to sending the text. He was never sending the picture of the ghost to the thing. He was just saving into his gallery. And they'd be like, oh, that's bullshit. Oh, I got that one. Oh. Did I have to send a text? I might have forgotten that part.
Starting point is 00:25:59 Yeah, you had to press X, and you were pressing A, and you were just saving them to your calorie. That might be why I wasn't getting credit. It was, and it was also why I didn't really realize at the time, but when you take, when you press X, the ghost vanishes. Like, you're done with it. But you kept taking multiple pictures of the ghost, and you're like, I think I'm getting it. And I was like, what you, how are you still seeing the ghost? I'm a good pay attention to detail kind of guy Yeah
Starting point is 00:26:28 Big time I appreciate I thought you were going to call out Our numbers issue Gavin I thought Gavin was going to kill me over the weekend And I would have understood it I would have respected it
Starting point is 00:26:43 I don't even remember what you're talking about I woke up And I had a number from Gavin I checked my slack I had 23 he sent me like 23 or something and then so I just replied
Starting point is 00:26:57 47 and then some time passed and then I got another number and I realized what it was happening was Gavin was trying to sign into a Google account and the security stuff is tied to me and you need to match numbers I thought we were just playing a game
Starting point is 00:27:16 of guessing just sending numbers to each other he kept writing numbers back, which all he needs to do is press the number that pops up on his phone, and I kept get numbers back, and then he just says, sorry, I thought we were playing numbers. So here's the context of that. I was, I was scrolling through my phone, maybe like two days prior, and I was just looking at text messages that I had, that I hadn't, like, I was just seeing, like, what's the oldest text message I had?
Starting point is 00:27:46 and I was in a group chat with people, a group text, I guess, and I picked one of the numbers that I didn't know. It's not saved to my phone. I don't know who it is. And I was trying to decide between two different restaurants. And so I decided that even or odd. So I texted this number that I don't know who it is. Pick a number between one and a hundred.
Starting point is 00:28:08 And I never reply, understandably. So that was like two days ago. So then I wake up and I see 26 from Gavin. And I think, oh, maybe this is like a different, maybe it was a different Gavin number that I texted. So I thought that you're replying to a two-day old text initially, because my phone didn't give me any notifications that there was a Google sign-in attempt. So I was convinced that you were replying to that. So that I replied with a number.
Starting point is 00:28:35 I want you to go through and tell me when you realized what I was doing. Okay. So here's the thing. I'm going to post the screenshot because it seems like after you were like, oh, I thought. we were just doing numbers. I sent you more and you still... Yes, so here is my defense for that. So, I said 26, Gavin replied four and then I got the notification. And I replied, ha, ha, ha, sorry. Never got the notification for the first one. I thought we're just sending numbers. So we can blur the email and the phone and all that. But this is,
Starting point is 00:29:08 at this point, where I'm writing the number 40 and showing him a screenshot, he still hasn't logged me in. Like look how long this went on for I started at I started at 101 By 120 I'm now just Instead of writing the number which which I did Above right I wrote 40 He said 51
Starting point is 00:29:30 Yeah so this is So the context for that Is you sent me four And I clicked four So I assumed you were in at that point Because I hid it on my And then you said 40 With a bunch of haze after
Starting point is 00:29:46 So I thought that was indicating that you were in And now you were doing the bit of we were actually guessing numbers So then I continued on the bit And then you were played with another number Establishing that you still weren't in Despite the fact that I clicked four when you clicked for No the four that you clicked didn't do anything I clicked it so that's what I thought
Starting point is 00:30:09 It was the haws that threw me after the next set of numbers Because I'd verified on my end And then you went ha ha ha ha ha ha It turns out I was laughing before we'd, before I'd got in. And then it continues. He didn't get the 40. And then, uh, he said, hit me with another. And then you said, verified 52 without me saying anything.
Starting point is 00:30:30 But then somehow I was logged in. So we went through all that. And by 1.28 p.m. to 28 minutes after we'd started this process, I said, now we can play numbers. I think what's really at fault here, and first of all, I'm on your side. But you did get a new phone. So I think this is ultimately your fault. That's why I was logging in. I had a new phone.
Starting point is 00:30:56 That's my point. If you didn't get the new phone, you wouldn't have had to log in. None of that would have happened. Right. It's the consequence of a new phone. You know what? I apologize. You hear him on your side right now.
Starting point is 00:31:07 That's great. But I am on your side. Okay. Okay. That was on me. That was, if I wouldn't have sent the text message like two days prior, to a random number asking pick between one and 100, I wouldn't have guessed
Starting point is 00:31:19 we were playing numbers. Now, if you're looking at this screenshot in the audience, and you think 25 isn't enough information just to type to someone and press send, I should have said hit 25 on your two factor or whatever. But this was maybe the 10th time.
Starting point is 00:31:35 We've done this so many times. Yeah, that's pretty common occurrence. I would say it happens almost once a week between one of us at some point. Yeah, we should use pass keys, so we don't have to use your sodding phone as a two-factor. Should you use what?
Starting point is 00:31:52 We'll talk about it, Leah. I heard car keys. We'll use car keys. We'll blip. We'll hit the boot button. The fob. And we'll log in. That'd be cool if you could log into all your internet with a car. Like, you log into a car. That's funny, you make that noise.
Starting point is 00:32:11 I have a note about this. I have a question. I was thinking about, I guess I had this realization. I brought up that I've been sleeping with a weighted eye mask and then I misplaced it and it's been missing and it's been an issue. I've been having a hard time falling back asleep easily without it. Well, it's down the back of the bed, surely with the pillows. No, it just, the problem is I'll get up and I'll just in my,
Starting point is 00:32:33 the first thing I do when I wake up is I throw it off and then I'm not really awake and I forget where I put it. So it just goes missing at times. And it's become a problem. problem because I realized, one, I like the feeling of the weight on the face. That's nice. But two, I really like not knowing when I'm sleeping. It just happens. Because I don't know if my eyes are open or closed when I have the eye mask on. So I'm either sitting with my eyes open or I'm closing them. Did you say you like not knowing whether you're asleep? Yeah, it makes it a little
Starting point is 00:33:07 bit more fun, I found. Because I'll be laying, because if I don't have the mask on, I know I'm just either laying with my eyes open or my eyes closed, but I don't know which I'm doing under the mask. So I'm either just laying there thinking about stuff or I'm suddenly sleep. You know, I hate to agree with you on something so insane. I kind of get what you mean. I really enjoy the mystery of it all of when am I going to fall asleep. It'll happen eventually. Maybe my eyes are open. I don't know. Doesn't matter. But I keep kicking my cats in the middle of the night. Because they like to hang out. You don't have any cats.
Starting point is 00:33:45 I have two cats and I keep hitting them and I feel bad about it. I do. So then I thought, and I know this is an insane idea, this is just the thought I had. What if I slept with night vision goggles on? Because then I wouldn't have to turn on a light and I don't mind the sensation of the weight on my face. I've never worn night vision goggles. I don't know how comfortable they would be the sleep. Maybe this is an impossibility.
Starting point is 00:34:11 It was just the thought. I had. But then you would know if you were awake. Yeah, I guess I would, but I would at least still have the weight on my face, and I do really like that as well. It is very common. But my main issue was beyond the comfortability, which I don't know. Have you guys
Starting point is 00:34:26 ever worn Night Vision goggles? Are they comfortable? I wore them constantly in the army, and no, they are not comfortable, but that was also in 1995. They probably advanced in comfort and quality. You think that comfort's been so
Starting point is 00:34:42 upgraded that it puts you to sleep makes you sleepy? No, no, no, no, but I also think that I was probably wearing like military grade NVG. The military doesn't give a shit about soldiers being comfortable at any point ever and so I imagine that there's probably a commercial version that's not so bad. I'm glad that you've worn them, both for this
Starting point is 00:35:02 in sight, and I've also realized that every time I've seen night vision goggles in media, when they turn them on, they go, boi, they go, is that a thing does that actually occur I'll be honest I don't remember there being a sound I don't feel like there should be
Starting point is 00:35:22 because I feel like the whole point is you're trying to be sneaky and it always goes it makes that loud noise like the capacity the capacitous sound from like a camera flash yeah you know zero confidence behind that yeah
Starting point is 00:35:39 the Sam Fisher noise is what I mean it's in every like splinter cell trailer no you can't I don't I just wanted to clarify here's a picture of Andrew
Starting point is 00:35:51 going to bed that could be me I don't understand why you would want to use stuff that requires your vision at the only time you don't want to see no because if I okay so what happens is I get up
Starting point is 00:36:05 at like two or three a.m. sometimes to pee and that's when I'm accidentally bumping into my cat because they'll be laying in the bathroom and I can't see them in the dark and I don't want to leave a light on because they don't want to disturb my partner so I thought what is a way that I could see
Starting point is 00:36:19 better without disturbing anyone Derek just to the phone of a night vision cat so the partner doesn't wear an eye mask the what your partner doesn't wear an eye mask no no no no no okay no I don't think they'd find it comfortable but I really like
Starting point is 00:36:37 see that's what I wore in the army What I just think you? You think you would enjoy sleeping in that? I think I could do it. Okay. There's sort of, I'm a, I'm a weird sleeper in the sense of I kind of like a little bit of discomfort. I find the discomfort of it. You're a maniac.
Starting point is 00:36:53 You're an insane person. It's like the one time you want to be as comfortable as possible. I like a little agitation to get me to sleep. Like, I would, when I, I'd sleep with my neck against the wall, like kind of bent out. Like I have the pillow mountain I recently have been putting pillows on top of my face when I sleep Because I have the CPAP on so I just sleep I breathe through the hose That is pretty fun
Starting point is 00:37:21 It's kind of fun right? Yeah I fell asleep the other night with my head in the cat tent In the cat tent I got a little tent for my cats And it was what and you put it where your pillows are No I put it so there's a bunch of holes in it for there for the cat. And I put my head through one of the holes.
Starting point is 00:37:43 But where's the thing? What thing? The cat tent. On my head. What do you mean? Like, imagine like an astronaut helmet. Yeah. You just wear it on.
Starting point is 00:37:56 Yeah. Well, I was putting it on. Yeah, because there's three entrances. Three of it are entrances, three sides. One side is a solid wall. So I had the solid wall be behind my head. And I put my head through the bottom. I had a hole at the top, and I had a hole forward so I could watch the football game.
Starting point is 00:38:13 I was watching the Cardinals play. And then I had my C-Pab hose through the front entrance. And it was very cozy. I felt like I was in my own little tent. I felt contained. You must have looked like an astronaut. I must have. Oh.
Starting point is 00:38:31 You know what? I'll get in position. I'll send you a photo of the setup. Yeah, yeah. I'll get in position for it. We'll go for it. We'll wait. I can't do it right now.
Starting point is 00:38:40 I'm going to need other people. It's too much. Too much of a setup? It's too much of a setup. I have to get cozy in bed. I need to get the tent. You need to get the right amount of uncomfortable. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:53 I'll send it though between now and when this comes out. And set up. All right. So have you considered, instead of night vision goggles and all this stuff when you have to get up and pee, have you considered a dim phone light? what do you mean turn on the light on your phone like the flashlight on my phone
Starting point is 00:39:13 yeah so I know there's a way to dim it I don't know how to do that though specifically okay because I you consider forget that forget that have you considered maybe not drinking anything
Starting point is 00:39:24 like an hour before you go to sleep I don't think it matters I don't think that part matters I like to drink water I probably drink like a gallon of water a day that's fine just stop it like an hour before and then you won't pee in the night I don't.
Starting point is 00:39:38 I'll test it. I don't think it'll make a difference, but I'll test it. If it does make a difference now, it won't by the time you're 40. It's true. I have to talk a team as future-proofing. As the young one. Might as well get used to figuring out how to get to the bathroom in the middle of the night now because you'll be doing it for the back half of your life.
Starting point is 00:40:00 When do you stop drinking liquid's Jeff before bed? It makes no difference to me anymore. I used to try to stop. It doesn't, yeah, it doesn't make any difference. I could go to bed with, like, my lips cracked and parched and going like, water, butter. And by about 115, I'm going to have to get up to piss. And then at about 3.45, I'm going to have to get up to piss again. And then maybe 6.50 I'll get up and piss a third time.
Starting point is 00:40:27 And then I'm just up. Imagine how good your sleep would be, though, because you've gone to sleep so uncomfortable. That is true. But, wait, so you have a water cut off. Gavin, it sounds like Yeah, I Maybe like 90 minutes To an hour before
Starting point is 00:40:42 I'm gonna go to sleep I stopped drinking Eric and Nick Do you guys have water cutoffs? No Yeah, okay Good Be glad
Starting point is 00:40:50 Well I mean I used to not have a cutoff And then I got sick And wake it up in the night If it works for you man That's great Yeah Yeah good for you I just the way you said it
Starting point is 00:41:00 It made it I felt like I was the old one out Not having a water restriction for a lot I was just giving you something to try No I appreciate it but no water restriction. You have a food restriction? Yeah, I don't, I try not to eat past 8 p.m. if I can,
Starting point is 00:41:14 unless we, like, go out to dinner or something. Yeah. Like, if I get hungry and, like, snacky at, like, nine, I just try to suffer through it and try not to eat too late. Is that so you don't get up and, like, shit in the middle of the night, or it's just like, what is that? I just so that I'm not gross digesting food that I don't need late at night. Got it. Got it, got it, got it. You sleep so good when that happens.
Starting point is 00:41:35 It's not related to turds. in any way. You do. Yeah, have you thought about how it maybe you over if you eat a bunch
Starting point is 00:41:42 and then you're uncomfortable and you'll sleep so good as you digest and feel bad. Not uncomfortable. Like from a health perspective, terrible.
Starting point is 00:41:51 Not a great idea. But from a cozy perspective, a whole. Cozy? That's why I eat a plate of turkey every night right before I go to bed.
Starting point is 00:42:01 Oh my God. Put me right to sleep. That's a great sleep rate. If, let's say 10 p.m. plate of turkey, some mashed potatoes. You're sleeping real good. Then I just ride the trictophan waves to sleep, right?
Starting point is 00:42:13 Yeah. What's the latest you've eaten? Have you ever fallen asleep eaten? No. Probably. I've never fallen asleep eating. I think it'll be interesting. When you're lying there right before bed,
Starting point is 00:42:28 you're uncomfortable, you've got your night vision goggles in. Just stuff in like a meatball or something and see what happens. I don't think I want to do it while in. bed. Why don't you put two meatballs in your mouth, one in each cheek, and then see if you can go to sleep. So part of
Starting point is 00:42:47 the eating thing before going to bed, it just feels cozy. I feel like I'm a bear and I'm getting ready for, for winter. I just ate my meal. I'm getting in the big covers. I have too many blankets. Well, it's too big of a blanket. But anyway, hop in,
Starting point is 00:43:02 get all cozy. Meatballs in the bed, I feel like I would, I wouldn't go well the CPAP because I got air constantly blogged. That's true.
Starting point is 00:43:12 It might come up. It'd be awesome if you, you're asleep laying on your back and the meatball came out of your mouth and it just floated
Starting point is 00:43:21 in the air right above you from the air coming out of your mouth in the CPAP. Like a multi- kind of like one of those ping pong balls or multi-eat
Starting point is 00:43:27 yeah. I think you'll enjoy this detail, Gavin. I have too much blanket for percentage of bed that I have because my partner and I both have
Starting point is 00:43:35 different blankets so we're not fighting over sheets in the middle of the night. Yeah. But my blanket is a king-sized, sized blanket. So it's huge, but I'm in like half of the bed. I have a half. So I'm using a king-sized amount of bed
Starting point is 00:43:52 on probably like a single amount of area. So are you getting all tangled up? Is it like a stuck under you and shit? I'm getting all tangled up. And I have to, I have to shove so much blanket to the middle of the bed. bed. It's essentially a third person if I want to get out of bed. I create. So why is why you doing this? Because it's just what I have. Like having multiple blankets is just nice. It's
Starting point is 00:44:18 convenient. Nobody has to fight over space. I get that part, but why is yours so big? It just ended up that way. And you don't have a second like a smaller one. Now I got rid of the other small one and had a hole in it. So wait, you don't have a, when you wash your bedding and stuff. You just have no bedding until it's all done? Yeah. What do you mean? Isn't that what you do? I rotate.
Starting point is 00:44:42 I got to just get the other one out. You rotate? Because that way I'm not waiting for like a big old chunky thing to dry. Yeah. Nick rotates. I don't rotate. I just watch the sheets in the morning and then they're dry and ready to go to buy ready to put back together by like 3 p.m.
Starting point is 00:45:00 Yeah, but you've never been like, ah, shit. I forgot to put it in the dryer. And now I'm tired and I'm waiting. Oh, absolutely. Oh, I have like a backup blanket if that's the case, but it's more like, like, take it from a closet or something. It's not like I have a rotation going. I'm pretty responsible. I don't, I don't fuck up laundry.
Starting point is 00:45:17 Do you, like, get up in the morning and go like, ah, this would be a good Thursday sheets? Who are you talking to you? What's the question? You. My question's to you. You rotate sheets. How many rotations do you have? Two?
Starting point is 00:45:32 Like, I rotate clothes. I look in my closet and I go, oh, I'll wear this shirt today. Do you do that for blankets? Or do you just have one rotation? Just every time I think the sheets should be changed. I take them off and I wash them and I put the other ones on. How often do you wash your sheets? Oh, that once a week.
Starting point is 00:45:48 Yeah. Okay, so he's got two sets. It's every Tuesday at the Ramsey Hatfield House. Oh. It's exciting. I'll put it on my calendar. Yeah, it's good. Good time.
Starting point is 00:45:58 Text you every Wednesday. How did the sheets go Tuesday? You ask me Tuesday night. What's your sheet rotation situation if you don't have? have a second pair. So how often are you washing them? Probably like once every 10 days. And you're taking them off and then you're just waiting for them. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. And then when they're done, they come out.
Starting point is 00:46:19 I don't know why. I don't know. I feel like that's normal. I think it's normal. I think it's normal. It's probably normal. Yeah, I just, I've gotten to the end too many times where I'm just like, oh, it's 1130 and the freaking sheets are all wet still. That's fair. I think that's normal too. I have a question for you guys, unrelated to this, because last episode is Eric brought up, I discussed Squashy's gum flavor thing. And then the candy, it was fucking with my head.
Starting point is 00:46:46 I felt validated and that it seemed like you all agree, you all saw where I was coming from. Totally. Because you tried it on the stream. 100%. Definitely. Although through the bag, it was discovered that like it was a rat,
Starting point is 00:46:57 there was rats eating your squashies or some type of animal. That was tiny bite marks in all of it. There's tiny bite marks. Have any of you guys, gained rodent-like abilities since we last recorded. I just wanted to check in. No, none more than I had before, so no change. No change.
Starting point is 00:47:14 I definitely think I ate more of them after the bite marks than before and I don't feel I don't feel any different. Maybe that's why you went to the dumpster. Oh, maybe. It's like my rat
Starting point is 00:47:30 and raccoon brain, yeah. I don't know. I don't know, man. You got to think about like the timeline and the way that lined up because if that was Friday and then Saturday you had all that issue with pizza and then Monday you had to go sit in the dark away from everyone like a sick cat before the break
Starting point is 00:47:45 show. Oh, I definitely didn't feel good on Monday. That's true. I didn't have a sick tummy. I didn't even put that together. I was nauseous. My favorite thing about this picture that just reminded me of the picture of the rat bite on the thing. The table that we have our mic
Starting point is 00:48:01 stands on is just some coffee table and when there's three mics hanging towards the couch the coffee table tips over towards us and I was like oh we should get a sandbag for the
Starting point is 00:48:12 like just to put under the bottom of the coffee table and Jeff who sat next to me goes oh oh I know where there's a sandbag hold on
Starting point is 00:48:19 and he leaves the room and he walks into the break show room and all I hear is and Eric goes Jesus Christ and then Jeff comes in with a sandbag
Starting point is 00:48:32 being like at the sand Oh, I guess we were using that with something. I'm the one that put it together. I just didn't remember. I thought the sandbag was more just like trying to knock down the shakes. I didn't realize that I had had it that. Yeah, it was a load-bearing sandbag.
Starting point is 00:48:46 It was definitely load-bearing sandbag. Yeah. But it's okay. It's okay. If we didn't want to use that one, Jeff, we have plenty of other sandbags, right? Right. We have a ton of sandbags. We do.
Starting point is 00:48:56 We have a, I think I bought another six sand bags. So we have those. And we can use this whenever you want to, Nick. We've got the bags. Can we use them like literally right now? Is there anything we're missing from the sandbags? Well, you can use them right now if you want to. I don't know how well they're going to work.
Starting point is 00:49:12 You need to put the sand in them still. Oh, we still need the sand. We just, they're just the bags. Six bags. Here's my, in my defense, in my defense, in my defense. In my defense. When we bought the camera set up and I bought that sea plant, the sea stand and everything, we decided we needed a sandbag.
Starting point is 00:49:32 So I went to Amazon and I bought a sandbag And a full sandbag came in So then when we decided we needed a few more sandbags For the coffee table, I went to Amazon And I bought what I thought was the same sandbag I got six of them And it came empty The other one was full of sand
Starting point is 00:49:46 This one was empty I'm gonna go to Home Depot though I'll buy some real nice sand And I'll fill them up You could just use whatever in them Oh, like trash What would you put in them, Gavin? I just got a bunch of dirt from the quarry in my
Starting point is 00:50:02 you think it would be easier for me to drive 45 miles out of town to the quarry like 30 minutes west of northwest of Austin to get my dirt when I could go to that home depot Are you never in a situation whether it's just like a mound of dirt or sand?
Starting point is 00:50:21 No! No. You know what? Fair play. Are you in a situation where there's a mound of dirt or sand a lot? Well yeah, when I'm in the quarry. I've been to the quarry two times in my life, and both times I went, and I thought, Jesus Christ, does it take forever to get to this place? Oh, it's not great. I went all the way out there to blow up an apple for a liquid death advert,
Starting point is 00:50:50 and a lot of the comments on the advert are regulation listeners asking liquid death if they're cosmic crisp apples. And let me tell you. Yes, they are. Good. Hell, yeah. All right. Better be. So the sandbag you took from the break show,
Starting point is 00:51:07 it was on the C-stand holding the top-down camera, was it? Yes. I thought it was still balanced. I didn't realize how unbalanced it was. Anyway, it fell, and then we fixed it. And then we replaced the C-stand with a ceiling-mounted tripod anyway. Yeah, it works great. Can I maybe get the audio from the security camera of you taking the sandbag?
Starting point is 00:51:32 yeah sure we post that yeah of course are you gonna are you gonna post the uh videos of everyone tripping over the same cable over and over and over again on that day certainly could who ran an ethernet cable across the entire floor that's that's the closest we could get that xbox to that because we had to run that xbox there with amex platinum access to exclusive amex pre-sale tickets can score you a spot track side so being a fan for life turn into the trip of a lifetime.

Starting point is 00:52:54 Last episode of our show brought up object to power and the office hidden. Anyone find it yet? Anyone want to disclose? I mean, you don't have to. Nope, been looking. I haven't found it yet. No luck yet. I realized that I'm glad that I'm not in the running for this
Starting point is 00:53:11 because I, uh, the other day decided, oh, I'm going to have a nice, I'm going to have a soak. I'm going to play my switch two in the tub. This is going to be great. It's going to be relaxing. Ran the water, sat down, had my switch in hands, went to play it, realized my left joycon was not attached, didn't know where it went, just vanished, no clue.
Starting point is 00:53:31 And it's a weird thing to lose because they are pretty mounted on to the switch. But the JoyCon was missing, ruined the entire plan. Then I got up, I got out of the bath, went to where I charged my switch. No JoyCon.
Starting point is 00:53:48 No clue where it went. And I thought, how do I find this? So I started Google and I was curious if there is anything within the switch. And it turns out, there is, if you're missing a controller, There is a button you can hit that will like make it ping and vibrate, which was, I was like, oh, this is great. This will save me.
Starting point is 00:54:07 So I hit the button and it pinged and I went, oh, it's at my desk. So I sat at my desk and I hit it again and it pinged. I went, oh, I guess it's at my bed. So then I went back to the bed and I pinged it and I went, it sounds like it's at my desk. I went back and forth for a long time. Then I realized if I held the button down, it would continue to ping, which was very, very helpful, still couldn't find it, eventually discovered it in my bathroom. I guess when I was stepping into the tub, I must have held the button that dismounts it and I launched it into the
Starting point is 00:54:43 corner of the bathroom on a towel. So it's just in the bathroom the whole time. I would have never found it without the ping. But as I was going back and forth, as I was getting audio cues to where this small item was that I could find, I still was just completely unable to discover it. And it made me think about the office and you guys looking for it. I would never find this thing. So if you had to talk about the geography of your room, would the desk be between the bathroom and the bed? Yes. How, when you at your desk, did it sound like it was coming from the bed? I don't know. I think I'm just bad at audio cues. Or weird acoustics, maybe, bouncing off the It could be.
Starting point is 00:55:24 I'm blaming more my ears than the acoustics of the room. Do you have two functional ears? I mean, I hear things. My grandmother was born 90% deaf in one ear, so maybe I have some of that. I don't think I've ever tested my hearing. You can test them with a... At any point in your life? I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:55:45 A hearing test? You could do it with AirPods. Do you ever... I've done the, like, the social media, like, thing where it's the frequencies that go up? Social media? I don't know that's a test. I think that's just a thing people post on social media. Yeah, I never...
Starting point is 00:55:59 One, the validity of it, I've always highly questioned. Two, I've never trusted it because I feel like when the sound goes away, they could just be removing the sound. Could be a gotcha situation. Well, this is a thing where you hit the button. You hit it every time you hit something. See, I don't know if I trust that.
Starting point is 00:56:18 It's... The problem... Because the thing with the eye test is... Yeah. Here's the thing with the eye test. I can see that there are things there, but I can't see them. Well, how do you know they're not just squiggles? What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:56:33 So if it's a bunch of squiggles, right? Yeah. I can't make out the squiggles, but I can recognize the squiggles are there, and then I can step forward, and I can go, oh, yeah, there's squiggles. They say ice. That's what those squiggles say. Okay. But if I'm doing an ear test, I always feel like someone's trying to get something over
Starting point is 00:56:52 on me. How would you know you've never done an ear test? That's what is my point. With what he's describing of you hear a noise and then you say, yeah, I heard that. I would be paranoid and I wouldn't trust that they ever played a noise that they're just messing with me. Who is they in this situation? Apple? The doctor?
Starting point is 00:57:09 Yeah, the medical professional? Well, in the context in which Gavin's saying, yeah, it would be Apple. I wouldn't trust Apple. Oh, okay. The doctor I think I would trust. I trust doctors. I've never not trusted the doctor, so I would trust the doctor. You get what I'm saying, though, right?
Starting point is 00:57:26 The point I'm trying to convey of that you have to trust somebody you're failing the test. It's a weird test. I know what you're saying, but it's not true. What's not true about it? There is a sound there. But you have to trust that there's a sound there. There is what? Why would you think Apple would release a tool to trick you, though?
Starting point is 00:57:45 Because it would be kind of funny. I bet it wouldn't be funny to their shareholders. I'll think people would get that upset about it. I mean, this is sad for people with hearing loss. You don't think they get that? They're being jebbed with my apple? Well, it's like how nobody got the whole Elizabeth Holmes joke. She was kidding.
Starting point is 00:58:07 She was kidding about the blood thing. There are just not many tests that you can fail without knowing you failed them. I think that's most tests. Is that not most tests? Did you not just describe most tests? Sometimes you don't know when you failed it? No, you verify, but you verify that you failed it. There's a verification to most tests.
Starting point is 00:58:31 I can't see with my ears, so I don't know. Oh, my God. You can't. But if there was a test and it was like, I'm going to tap you on the knee with a hammer, let me know when I've tapped you. Yeah. I'd feel it. Right.
Starting point is 00:58:47 But then when you don't feel it, are you going to be like, you didn't tap me? Can I see it? Am I allowed to look during the test? Well, I think that defeats the purpose of the test if it's a test about one of your other senses. It sounds like the only sense you trust is eyesight. I just, you know, you could... Okay, here's... Even if my... let's say, let's say my eyes are closed, right? We're doing this exercise.
Starting point is 00:59:12 Night vision on or off? Night vision off. Okay. I think we're in an office with lights. This is a reputable doctor. Okay. I have my eyes closed, but I could do. be filmed and there could be
Starting point is 00:59:23 proof that there was contact that I didn't feel. You can't verify a thing you can't hear. What if we were capturing the audio from the phone as it was testing you? And then we boosted it after so you could hear the tones.
Starting point is 00:59:40 Now I'm on board. Now I'm on board. Right. So pretend we're about to do that except we won't but there is sound there. I'm not sure about that. could be a joke could be a prank on me yeah something here's a joke that's for sure
Starting point is 00:59:56 to yeah to be to be fair if I'm not trusting anybody in terms of sound testing it is this group of people I think it's just that yeah I'm in a parent I'm in a constant paranoid era I mean you thought my mic was shit
Starting point is 01:00:10 so I don't trust your hearing anyway you know what that's a great point I don't either and at the point I don't even trust my own hearing I mean it's it's against me.
Starting point is 01:00:21 I think I trust my ears the least out of any part of my body. Interesting. I wonder why that is. I trust my ankles. What percent of your ears is that? My ears feel great. I'd say they're 100%
Starting point is 01:00:35 and feel. But I don't trust them. So you've got 100% ear feel but 0% ear trust. Yeah, because sometimes I think I hear the doorbell when I don't. It's just some other noise. You know, like,
Starting point is 01:00:49 when you're anticipating like a package being delivered and you'll go, oh, is that the doorbell? No, it was nothing. No. Okay, well, that's something that, see, if you did, you would trust your ears less. That's something I experienced, so I trust my ears less.
Starting point is 01:01:03 If you gave into whatever the fuck Andrew's talking about, you totally understand what he's saying. People are going to listen to this and they're going to understand what I mean. There are certain sounds I hear that I know like I'm anticipating them, so I hear them or I think I hear them when I don't.
Starting point is 01:01:17 If you're expecting to record this podcast, in like half an hour, do you start hearing us? I've heard you go. Okay. Well, not when recording the podcast. Sometimes when I'm laying in bed, and I got my eye mask on, and I don't know if I'm asleep or I'm not sleeping. I have heard you guys if I'm thinking about the podcast.
Starting point is 01:01:37 I hear you guys all the time when I fall asleep, yeah. But I think I'm sleeping when that happens. I think it's like I have an awareness of my sleep, not that I'm awake and I'm hearing you guys. And I got to say when those happen, when that happens, I go, Gavin would think this is fucking crazy. Somebody who doesn't have this dialogue. I have a whole show going on in my head. It's very comfortable, comforting when I hear you guys.
Starting point is 01:02:02 It's a good feeling. I can like white noise instead. Like, it's soothing. So what's your weakest sense, do you think? Well. Sense of least power. Well, here's the thing. I trust my eye.
Starting point is 01:02:19 but they're no good don't see anything at a distance you wear glasses or contacts I have glasses I don't wear them okay well that'll be a start reverse clerk excellent yeah but
Starting point is 01:02:35 you don't wear them well I'm fine anything that's far away it's fine it's fine is far away I don't need to see it It was close I would wear glasses If I had no close vision
Starting point is 01:02:55 But the fact that I can't see far away things I go is far away I don't need to see that That's fine This is plowing my mind So that means You didn't really get a good look At the woman pissing
Starting point is 01:03:05 It could have been anything It could have been like a bag If she was writing a word out with piss I would not have been able to eat That's for certain But I could identify. She might have been pouring a drink out. No, I mean, there'd be a weird way to pour a drink out.
Starting point is 01:03:27 Is it laziness that you don't want to wear the glasses? It's part of the stability of my nose. You know, I'm a very structural and integral, integral nose, and it's not good for gripage. What if on your glasses, I took the little nose bridges on? and I 3D printed a little nose extension for you. Now, what I really want is the Walton Goggin glasses. I've talked about this, the Goggin style glasses. The Goggins, goggles.
Starting point is 01:03:56 Goggins, goggles, glasses, goggles. Those. If I could get a prescription for those, I would wear them. And then I could see far away things. So are you telling us that your nose is unbreakable, but it's too slippery? Yeah, it's like there's no grip. How it's shaped. it's there's not a lot of nose there
Starting point is 01:04:15 it's like a runway that you would make in your backyard the plane wouldn't take off there's not enough space there's not enough land mass you can't break what isn't there what about those rubber straps you can get to go around the from you know one end of your glasses to the other so you can just secure it to your head
Starting point is 01:04:34 oh like the street yeah like kind of like his has but I mean you can buy those we sold them for yeah or for f***as I have them I don't know I just don't I don't do this There's a security Yeah but there's something A lot more stable about a strap
Starting point is 01:04:50 It's sort of what you're saying Jeff is right It's the same philosophy I have about the top drawer There's just something a little precarious about it Although completely functional The strap is the second drawer down Do documents slip off your nose No Never had that happen
Starting point is 01:05:08 And I'd be able to read them clearly Because they were close we we're probably getting to the end of the podcast here but I do I don't want to start to do an or so we have some order of business we got to run through first and anything else you guys want to cover before we end
Starting point is 01:05:27 but I do need to get to this two weeks ago we released a picture of the shirt we commissioned burn dog to make for us the metal shirt regulation metal shirt if you haven't seen it looks a lot like black metal and death metal band shirts it's a indecipherable text and then a picture of me looking quite dead next to a hole in the ground. And we did a little contest to say that if you could figure out what it says,
Starting point is 01:05:51 we'll give you some free merch, do something nice for you. And a bunch of people did. I think we announced last week that people did and that it said eat the pencil, right? Well, I have two things. One, I have gone through all the comments from all the different social platforms that I could find. And I think I've identified the first person to correctly guess. and so I'd like to congratulate Sir Fry's Fried on the Patreon who said, it was like maybe the seventh comment on the video, eighth comment on the video said, is it Etha on the pencil?
Starting point is 01:06:22 I feel like it says Etha on the left side and pencil on the right. And they didn't draw it out or anything, but that's okay. I don't know that anybody got the tracing perfectly correct, but I did get Byndog to send it to us so that you can see and so that we can solve the mystery. So this is how it says eat the pencil. I don't think anybody got the idea
Starting point is 01:06:44 that the crosses were the T's for eat for eating the That's great. That's so impressive. Even his signature at the bottom is cool. But there you go. That is how it says eat the pencil. So fries, fried, got it.
Starting point is 01:07:02 If you also, if you think you beat him to the punch and you can show me, I'll throw you some stuff too. But I think I'm pretty sure he was the first person or they were the first person to mention it. So congratulations to Sir Fry's Fried. I'll try to get in touch with you
Starting point is 01:07:13 or you try to get in touch with you. Just message the Patreon. Yeah, we'll send you a bunch of stuff. Thanks for playing along. Thanks to everybody who made their guesses. Yeah, it was so cool. Seeing all the guesses and the tracing. It was so much fun.
Starting point is 01:07:27 Mark the Frog is mad at me right now because he nailed it in a stream that I was doing and he kept repeating it over and over again and I kept ignoring him because it hadn't been announced yet. But he was still way late to the party in terms of the guessing. I like that it used the little tails of the bottom of the shape, like the little wings. Yeah, it's so cool.
Starting point is 01:07:46 Before we end, can I, can I, uh, just pick a bone with Nick about something? Oh, oh, sure. Eric, I'm going to send you a little clip here. Can you, uh, could you stream it over Discord? Oh, 100, Gavin, 100%. I got you. All right, boys, here you go. It's pretty fucking hard.
Starting point is 01:08:08 Jeff, keep working. Hi. We're watching the Lego party. All right, so stop it, pause it. Yeah, you got it. Nick was yelling at me this whole game that I wasn't jumping. Yes. Can you...
Starting point is 01:08:23 You see that little two, that two little nub blue brick? Yeah, right. Yeah, yeah, I see that. That's the one he wanted me to jump on. Could you please time how long passed between the placement of that brick and when he said, Jump, you idiot, or whatever he said. Okay, so it looks like it's placed at six seconds. Okay, so it's there. Nine seconds.
Starting point is 01:08:47 Yeah, it's there. He's locked in, he's standing on it. Yeah. It's good. What do you mean? You weren't on it for a minute. Right, you weren't there yet. Before, when I had initially said it, you hadn't gotten there.
Starting point is 01:09:02 Can you play with a time, Eric? Absolutely. Let me jogging back here. Here, I'm going to go from five so you can see it. ready and I'll kind of stop it along the way here it is so it's now it's shot out it's placed at six he immediately says go Gavin go right at the neat second mark which means there's maybe one and a half seconds has passed yeah Gavin is in the air as he says it that's good and now he is telling him to go again no other place no other piece has been
Starting point is 01:09:32 placed if you jump higher you'll clear space for the block to be placed oh I see what Nick's saying Your head's out of the way Your body is out of the way He's saying he wants you to jump so you Because you're currently blocking the placement Of the brick because you're physically in front of it
Starting point is 01:09:49 So he's saying if you jump He could get through you God damn the freaking bit right above Where I'm stood goes all the way to the right Of the screen What do you mean? What do you mean? But he could move it a hair to the right
Starting point is 01:10:00 And it would still fit if you had jumped I did jump You land on it once it's there So really you're hurting your cause And Jeff's. If I'm, if I cross over his ghost block, he can't place it. Jump above it. I think Nick is right, but he said the wrong things to you.
Starting point is 01:10:19 Boy, that sounds like the story of Nick's life. Yeah. I think Nick is making a valid point that if you weren't physically in that position, he could place the brick. He could have placed it on the book. But instead, he's yelling at you to go to the next brick, which is impossible because there's no brick. but if you would say like move so I can place the brick I think you both would have been on the same page All right let's try this again Eric
Starting point is 01:10:45 Can you mute the clip and play it all the way from the beginning You got it alright Say what you should have said and go Okay all right I won't be neck Okay go right jump okay jump again Jump again get out of the way All right that's there now jump You got to jump so you land on it
Starting point is 01:11:01 Now jump again so he can drop the spot All right you haven't jumped Keep jumping I haven't jump It's still haven't jumped. You didn't say anything different. You just say jump. What are you talking about?
Starting point is 01:11:13 I think I'm on next side on this one. You're still on next side? I think I'm on next side here too. I think he just communicated it poorly in the, like in the moment. I was just yelling at the clip. Yeah, I'm on your side 100% of Gavin. But the point I think is valid. It just is communicated poorly.
Starting point is 01:11:30 So what's the point? Because he can't place a block between you and the wall. Hey, watch. Watch the raccoon and the llama on the right. Yeah, yeah. This is next point. Take some notes. Yeah, take some fucking notes.
Starting point is 01:11:45 Jump place. Well, well, well. That's what he was trying to get you to do. Yeah, but I was also just trying to make you screw up. With the delay, there was every chance that I would, the Jeff would be placing on my body. How did Andrew host that game? I don't know. I don't know what you're talking about.
Starting point is 01:12:06 I think it was a skill issue on the three of you. We tripped over the Ethernet cable a lot, so it might have defaulted. That is true. But I don't think we ever hooked up to the Wi-Fi. So I don't really, I don't know, either way. But if you want to see more of that stuff, you can check out our live streams on Twitch Friday at 4 at Twitch.com. Or you can join us on October 31st at 9 p.m. central time where we'll be having our next slot. Boppy Joe's bingo.
Starting point is 01:12:41 Thanks for picking up all and running with you guys. Appreciate it. I did. It's going to get spooky. Yeah, what more do you want? I was fucking into it. I thought you did great, Jeff. If there's one person I can count on on that, it's you.
Starting point is 01:12:52 Honestly, Eric, I was thinking about all of the potential nudity we're going to have to skirt around. Well, that's why it'll be a Patreon only one, right? Or is it going to be public? Even Patreon is not safe for that, if anything. Can you... It's worse. What if, uh...
Starting point is 01:13:09 Nick, can you make like a blur circle that you can move around freely on the screen? Yeah, Blurkel. Yeah, can you make a blurkel? Nick, make a blurkel, please. We don't need, we don't need a blurkel. We had that thing that you had before, Gavin. The BBC thing.
Starting point is 01:13:26 We used that before. Yeah. There was a, like, a screen that they pop up whenever there was a difficulty of time. And we would throw to that screen. We did this before. That's true. I forgot about that.
Starting point is 01:13:38 It's like a kid in front of a TV or something. I vaguely remember it. It's the test card. Yeah, the clown. That's fucking right. I forgot about that. I forgot about that. So stupid.
Starting point is 01:13:51 If you're Andrew and you lived in England and you get up to piss in the night and you turn the TV on, that's what you'd see. Oh my God. In the night, you'd never. That would keep me from getting up the piss in the night. And it goes, and it goes, and it goes, beep.
Starting point is 01:14:04 Hmm. We definitely should be ending this episode at this point. I think Eric already did the outro. But I do want to leave you guys with an idea for a new show that I had. Just to think on it, to ruminate. I think this is going to be one of those ideas that I love and that Eric hates. But we will see. Burn Dog was telling me when he was getting that image to me and we were talking about
Starting point is 01:14:26 the Eat the Pencil stuff, he said that he had watched our onioning the car video. He said he thought it was one of the funniest things we'd ever done. and he said, and I quote, I can listen to you dudes arguing a car for hours. And that got me thinking, you know how Gavin's friend, James Corden, does carpool karaoke? What if we had a show called Carguing?
Starting point is 01:14:50 All right, we'll see you next time. Bye-bye.
