My name is Jeff Ramsey with me as always, Andrew Patton, Eric Baddor, Nick Schwartz, Gavin Free. This is episode 82. Hello. Hello. How's everybody doing?
Starting point is 00:00:46 I'm great. How are you, Jeff? I'm good. I was trying to come up with a little enthusiasm to kind of lift this up. I could tell it. I felt like the mood in the pleasantries was a little, not bad, just a little low energy. And so I'm trying to. I'm trying to raise it up right now.
Starting point is 00:01:02 And also, Andrew, you said you had a, this is going to be an Andrew episode. You had a ton you wanted to get to. I sure do. What's the most ridiculous piece of knowledge that you have that is useless? Do you have anything that comes to mind that is just completely pointless that you know that probably nobody else does? Because I had a unique experience over the weekend of S&L brought McGruber back for a sketch. And at the end of the sketch, the building they're in explodes. And I looked at that and I went, that is the same explosion that killed Exender Cage in the first triple X movie as a bonus feature.
Starting point is 00:01:44 And I saw other people point out that that is also, I guess, the exterior building they use for shots of Patty's Pub, which is cool. Now in my mind, like lore-wise, Zander Cage lives above Patty's Pub, which is awesome. but I think I'm probably the only person on the planet that looked at that and went oh yeah that was a bonus feature on the triple X DVD post sane in the state not sane Jesus state of the union coming out it was very weird I was thinking about in general like it was kind of a weird time where they tried to resell the triple X DVD by putting a big sticker on it that this one contains the death of Xander Cage because I guess they wanted to explain
Starting point is 00:02:23 why Ice Cube was in the sequel and it's terrible building it's so much worse than that it is like four minutes long and they have Vin Diesel standing like it's so clearly not Vin Diesel and it's him and this woman in a convertible and they drive somewhere
Starting point is 00:02:42 and then Zander Cage gets suspicious he sees some like reflections and he's like oh I got to go investigate that so he goes and he checks and turns out to just be a homeless guy and then bad guys show up and make it look at it look look like they dragged the lady into his apartment. And he looks at the coat and they pulled the line the things I'm going to do for my country
Starting point is 00:03:03 from the movie and just place it over there. You never see the front of Vin Diesel's face. It's all back shots. And then he runs upstairs and the building explodes. And then you see the chunk of the back of his face or the head with the triple X tattoo. Hit the pavement. That's four minutes long. It's so stupid.
Starting point is 00:03:22 It's a bonus feature. it's horrendous in every way but I recognize the explosion immediately and I felt ashamed to myself so I was curious if you guys have ever had a specific piece of just something useless knowledge. I definitely have
Starting point is 00:03:37 something. I'd love to know what Vin Diesel thinks about that scene though. Oh he probably hates it. He seems like a guy with a big ego probably wasn't a fan it felt kind of personal in a weird way. It sounds personal which got me wondering why didn't he reprise his role did it was a
Starting point is 00:03:53 contract dispute? Did he just not want to do it? Were they looking to save money? Isn't it so weird that he did that twice? With Fast and Furious and Triple? Like both of them the sequel he did not come back for. And then eventually did come back. He has to sulk a
Starting point is 00:04:09 couple out first and then he'll come back. Yeah, it's true. He did the same thing with Iron Giant as well, I think. That's why there's no sequel. I meant that up. He's still doing it. He's still doing it. What if we re-released episode 6 with four minutes of bonus content.
Starting point is 00:04:28 Can it be the death of Zander Cage? Yeah, what would the four minutes be, I guess? Eric gets killed. Yeah, I mean, that's fine. Let's just get it over with, absolutely. Before we kill Eric, does anybody else have any specific knowledge that you think you're unique in having? Yeah, before I die, please know that the useless fact that I know is that three. survive the Titanic.
Starting point is 00:04:56 Whoa! Really? Yeah. Only three. Three dogs. That's amazing. Yep. I think it would be so funny for Eric to be in a in a scenario where he's like tied to a chair. There's like three dudes pacing around him and he's just like, guys, hurry this up. Come on. Like, can we get this over?
Starting point is 00:05:13 Let's just kill me and get this. It's either we're doing this or let me go because I got places to be. There's things going on. So either like, let's just get on the other side of this. But before, before, they just put a gun right to my head and then right before they pull the trigger. I say, wait, wait, wait, three dogs survive the Titanic. Those are my last four years.
Starting point is 00:05:35 I can build a early 90s Milwaukee Bansaw from parts with my eyes closed, probably still at this day. Whoa. I don't imagine there's a lot of people that have the knowledge of that specific like 91 to 90s. milwaukee band saw like I do but I used to make them all the time at the tool repair shop out of spare parts
Starting point is 00:05:59 probably not a lot of that knowledge left and I imagine that's changed tremendously since then I know that if you if you move a paintball gun like an inch closer the paintball will hit the target like 100 microseconds sooner so that is 10 inches knowledge I mean it's useful for
Starting point is 00:06:22 you. But probably not anymore. There's so many people that play bar trivia, they're going to kill it next time now. They're set. Also, it's very specific to my paintball gun and the amount of gas that was in it that day. Can I ask you a question, Gav?
Starting point is 00:06:37 Yeah. What's a microsecond? It's a unit of time. There's a thousand microseconds in a millisecond. Wow. Wow. A thousand micro, how many microseconds were in a second?
Starting point is 00:06:52 Million? Is that right? That's what I was asking you. That's right. It's a millionth of a second. Yeah. So a microsecond is a millionth of a second. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:04 And then you go down to Nano and Pico. Yeah, I'd heard of, I'd heard of Nano and Mila, but never micro. Or Pico, for that matter. Yeah, Micro is written like that weird, that funny looking you with the tail on it. I'll take your word for it. Yeah. My useless knowledge. Did you learn this from
Starting point is 00:07:24 which video was that that you learned this on? Was this where they were trying to like collide the paintballs? Yeah, we're trying to collide three in the same space and it took us like three months to do it. So when did slow-mo guys start? What was these things? The year was 2010.
Starting point is 00:07:42 Yeah, that one, the second one. That's awesome. That's so cool. Very cool. Microseconds. Hey, uh, I did something about a week ago now and we need to do it I sat down and I watched
Starting point is 00:07:58 Bingo the movie a movie that's bounced around I talked about it in our periphery I talked about it I told this story in the break show that I was playing video games with Andrew and I told him I watched it and he was like okay and I was like you know the thing and he's like
Starting point is 00:08:12 yeah whatever and I was like no the the moot we opened the cards and he was like oh I thought I thought you were saying you watched somebody play bingo and I'm like why the fuck would I watch somebody play bingo? Bingo. I do do that.
Starting point is 00:08:24 Well, true. But I don't think I would come in. If I would come in and I'd go, I wouldn't come in and go, hey, guess what I just did? I just watched Bingo. I would come in and go,
Starting point is 00:08:34 hey, I just played Bingo with my wife and her friends. You know? That's fair. Here's, okay. Well, there are two things. One, I've decidedly not been watching Bingo because I thought we're waiting
Starting point is 00:08:46 for like a group watch. Yeah, I thought it was a group watch. So I had not been. brought it up or made it, which hasn't been discussed in years. I took matters into my own hands and watched it without you. That's totally fine. That's just why my brain went bingo.
Starting point is 00:09:01 I don't think it would be the movie. Jeff loves bingo. Probably was watching some bingo. And it would be something you'd come in with a little bit of like, I'm having a good day. I saw some bad while I was doing some sloppy joes. Have they ever televised bingo?
Starting point is 00:09:17 Yes. You can just watch people play bingo. Uh, I don't know about people, but definitely games, just like the, the drawing of the ballpark. I know that they, uh, they, people on TikTok just show rippers, like ladies or dudes just doing rippers over and over again on TikTok, which is insane. Your wife's really into rippers, Gavin. But anyway, bingo the movie, we should absolutely do a watch-along for it. It is, and it is the most unhinged family-friendly movie I think I've ever seen in my entire life. genuinely amazed at the violence in this film
Starting point is 00:09:55 for a family-friendly dog movie. I want to watch that. There's some good bad dog movies out there. There's one, I don't remember the name of it right now, but I believe it's essentially the plot of Home Alone and one of the burglars is Joey Diaz. The comedian? Yes, the comedian.
Starting point is 00:10:15 I think he's in like the Joe Pesci role. And I don't remember what it's called. it's something that I don't think ever even got released on like DVD or VHS, like it was a Home a Bone? What? Home Alone? I don't know, that's that many said. Home of Bone?
Starting point is 00:10:31 Yeah. Yeah, that's pretty good. Is this a dog movie? I like that. Bone alone. Bonalized a different movie. We also need to watch Virtual Weapon at some point. Yes, we did. Oh, yeah!
Starting point is 00:10:45 Yeah, I keep hearing about it. The Dog Who Saved Christmas? That sounds right. It has Dean Cain. Oh, Joey D. I'm out. Well, this, yeah, sorry. Not a big Dean Cain fan these days.
Starting point is 00:11:02 You were a huge Dean Cain fan before. Wait, is he a good guy or is he a bad guy? Is the dog going to attack Dean Cain? Or is it like Dean Cain the... I... Is the dog here legally? Dean Cain would make sure. He appears, Dean Cain appears to be a bad guy.
Starting point is 00:11:18 I would guess. Okay, well, I'm back in. I'm back on board. All right, as long as he gets his just desserts. Yeah. There you had a dog. Dean Kane somehow tricked somebody into being the co-lead and a Denzel Washington movie. And even Denzel couldn't carry him.
Starting point is 00:11:36 It's bad. It's one of the worst Denzel movies because of Dean Kane. It's a terrible. It's called Out of Time. Huh. Should we do like a Falcon event or something where we do a do a do go-do double feature and we watch the dog who's here Christmas in Binga? Listen, that sounds great to me.
Starting point is 00:11:54 I don't know where we'd find a dog saves Christmas, but that sounds like to look for it. Yeah, we'll find it. We'll find it. I had an insane coincidence that was like just absurd in it occurring, but also was like the least impactful thing that could happen. That makes sense. It's a weird balance of, wow, that's crazy that all of this lined up the way it did.
Starting point is 00:12:18 But, uh, also like doesn't really change the world or make any impact in any way. Months ago, I bought a special collection. Joan Soda did a branded release that I thought was cool where they did a creola bundle where the box of soda looks like a giant crayon box. Oh, that's cute. And all the sodas are like different colors of the crayons. And I thought, that's cool. I proved to that in like August
Starting point is 00:12:48 it finally arrived after months and it was just kind of in my office for a while then I eventually decided randomly one evening recently to crack it open but before that I started watching a Denzel movie because I've been watching as established on this show
Starting point is 00:13:06 going through watching all his movies and the one I was watching that evening was the little thing starring Jared Leto and Rami Mollick not good It's a bad one But I was like halfway through And then I decided I'll have dinner I thought oh if I'm having dinner
Starting point is 00:13:22 I'll crack open a soda So I grabbed just a random There's like 12 of them in the box I just pulled one out Enjoyed it delicious Then I noticed There was text on the bottom of the bottle cap And I looked at it
Starting point is 00:13:36 And the little word on it Said enjoy the little things Which coincidentally was the same movie that I was going back to you to watch. Is that movie about cops? Yes, it is a cop. And then Jared Leto maybe is a criminal or something. Yes.
Starting point is 00:13:54 And it's basically cops, it's basically like cops protecting cops even when they break the lob because it was the right thing to do or something. Sort of, yeah. Yeah, I remember it. I did see that movie. It's like professional courtesy of the movie.
Starting point is 00:14:06 What are the chances that those two things would align? And the fact that you had them sat in your office for all that time. That's absolutely insane. saying what do you take away from the experience like what do you think it was trying to impart something upon you let's just let's just start with this did you enjoy the little things no oh bummer yeah i think i saw it on plane yeah that's a perfect place to watch it it is a movie where they set up like this that there's this crazy serial killer who's been doing killings for like forever and they decide to
Starting point is 00:14:37 end the movie without ever laying out who the killer is even though that's a large point because they're trying to overall convey a deeper message that you need to let things go sometimes. Like a killer. Like a killer that they can't catch. Or like cops facing accountability for their actions.
Starting point is 00:14:56 Or cops facing accountability for their actions. I think that's what I remember from the film. Yeah. That is yeah, largely what it's about. Forget it, Jeff. It's the little things. It's the little things town. It's not just like the timing of that. I had started that movie because it was on Netflix and then decided, I'm not feeling this tonight.
Starting point is 00:15:16 So, like, I could have watched it almost a year ago. And I just didn't. Just the fact that all of those things lined up for that moment, insane. I'm, uh, I'm currently suffering through a soda-based issue, uh, right now. You mentioned the Jones sodas. Uh, my, yeah, my wife is not adventurous when it comes to sodas. She, uh, she's a creature of comfort, but we were at Costco the other day and I saw that poppy which I like very much had a cranberry fizz and I thought that sounded awesome but because it's Costco it only comes in like
Starting point is 00:15:48 a 15 pack so I threw caution to the wind she was like I wouldn't I'm not going to drink that yeah I hope you want it and I was like of course I want it I love cranberry I love fizz I love poppy so bad and I have like 13 left to drink and I got to get what wait what soda is this
Starting point is 00:16:06 it's a poppy cranberry fizz bring it it's You're not going to like it, but I'll bring it to the office. Yeah, but at least we can help you get rid of it. Yeah, it's put it in the fridge. Nick will drink it. I will. I don't like Poppy.
Starting point is 00:16:20 Oh, yeah. The can. Oh, I love Poppy too. Don't get, that's why I bought it. Poppy's the best. Don't get me wrong. And there's a great brandy screaming at each other about how much they like Poppy. But it's just, Nick, do you think you could do all 13 cans back to back?
Starting point is 00:16:38 Oh, God, no. Not Poppy. That'll make you. shit your brains out. Yeah, yeah. I'd be like drinking six doses of Miralex. Yeah. Because of all the biotics.
Starting point is 00:16:47 Yeah, so many. Pre, I think, right? Pre, yeah, pro, anti, just normal. I don't know. Could you get post biotics? Post biotics. Post biotic. You get pro.
Starting point is 00:17:01 Or amateur biotic. Wait, do we need? Amateur biotics. We need amateur biotics. We need amateur biotics. Post-biotics. We're going to design the first amateur biotic, post-biotic soda. What if we become the first, like, biotics-focused podcast?
Starting point is 00:17:25 Like, we're very into different kinds of biotics. Like, I found an image just sort of running down prebiotics, probiotics, synbiotics, interesting, and post-biotics. Unfortunately, I don't see amateur biotics, so that could be something we create. Yeah, yeah. We could draw a goofy little picture of COVID or whatever that is and call it antibiotics or... No, would that exist? Antibiotics. What was the one we're going to do? Postbiotics? Amateur biotics? I think I'll have to invent something. It's anti-biotics. That's a real one already. God damn it.
Starting point is 00:17:58 Maybe once we're past that, we can start working on reverse biotics. I don't really know what that would be, but it sounds like we should try and get back around to the beginning. Do you think we should get, we should get into reverse osmosis biotics? Oh, definitely. Before we're taking the biotics out of Poppy to just make it into water or regular soda, I guess. Oh, I'd be into that. It'll be more in a pile of cranberries. If you could remove the biotics from poppy soda,
Starting point is 00:18:24 that's my product. I'm in. Get me in that. Your product is just regular soda. Yeah, I'd be so much more excited if it was just normal soap. I've been striking out on trying new things lately. I went to the grocery store the day and they had watermelon's,
Starting point is 00:18:40 See, I'm a big watermelon guy. I don't know if you know this about me. But they had that yellow watermelon that I keep seeing all over the internet. And I thought, fuck it. I'll try a yellow watermelon, right? Really mediocre. I don't understand what the yellow watermelon is. It's just yellow on the inside.
Starting point is 00:18:56 It's just like a watermelon, but instead of pink, a pink rind, it's a yellow rind. And it's, yeah. It looks exactly like that. Is it a different stage of ripe or is it a different melon? It's a different melon. It's like a different, like, strain of melon. But it's got a real bland, boring flavor. Maybe it was a bad one.
Starting point is 00:19:13 It looks like it got crossbred with a cucumber or something, like a squash. It could have been a bad melon. I'll try one more, but it was real disappointing. Get it, bring it to the office with the poppy soda, and then we can do that. We have to go to the store tomorrow to get all of our supplies for the Advent thing. Oh, yeah, that's right, which we don't have anything for. Yeah, none of that came in the mail yet, Andrew. I hope that's not a problem.
Starting point is 00:19:37 Really? Yeah. Let's see. I'll check on that after we've. finish recording. That is not ideal. A melon kind of looks like pineapple. It does. It does. And if you cut in a small piece, then Gavin could tell you exactly if it is watermelon or pineapple. If you would be so hard pressed to say what this was with your eyes closed, I guarantee you. He couldn't even get strawberry. So, I mean, that's true. For those who haven't, that was a Falcon thing or an extra medium thing was it on Patreon? Yeah, it was extra
Starting point is 00:20:06 medium. Okay. Well, okay. So on extra medium, we did a video where I was guessing fruit with my eye shut and I'm not that good at some of it. But come on. Don't say yourself short. You did very well. You did great. It took you a long time, but you were very accurate. I had to cut a lot of me just standing in silence and Jeff just pacing around. Also, I guess for some reason, uh, Nick must have been standing under an AC vent or something because it's just constant wind. throughout that video. Oh, there is one right there. Holy shit!
Starting point is 00:20:40 I can see it from here! I had to edit out so much of like it was that and Jeff just not being up to stand still and constantly cleaning up and just making a racket all over the kitchen. Yeah, that's me. But I made a discovery
Starting point is 00:20:55 while I was editing this video and here's a little screenshot from it. Do you see anything weird in the apple? Weird in the apple. Apple? The apple emoji I put it in the bottom, right? There's kind of like a haloing around like the top left of it, I guess. So I put it on black and I made it big.
Starting point is 00:21:15 And there's something going on with the apple emoji. Wait, it's a tomato. Is that a tomato? It's like there's a tomato stuck behind it or something. Like they've messed it up. And it's on every, like it's on the phone. Did you just crack something? Did you just crack something white open that nobody knew about?
Starting point is 00:21:32 I think I've made a discovery that I didn't see anyone on Google. talking about. You crack the case. I crack the apple case. Someone needs to fix the apple emoji because there's a ghost tomato stuck behind it or a ghost apple or something. We really are an Apple podcast. We really are. We tried to be a Biotics podcast, but we are truly an Apple podcast. Okay, Nick has posted a picture of the vet. Yeah, he was stood directly under that the whole video. Well, I have a thumbnail for the episode now. That's great.
Starting point is 00:22:09 He's this apple. Yeah, with the tomato. That's crazy. This episode of the Regulation Podcast is sponsored by Factor.

Starting point is 00:23:38 of the Regulation Podcast. I have a question for you guys, if you don't mind. Does anybody else have any specific knowledge? None that I could call out in that way. I feel the same way with specific knowledge is that it's so dependent on situations where you go, oh, unfortunately,
Starting point is 00:23:57 I know something more about this. Yeah. Well, let me ask you guys a different question then. I was on a bike ride this morning, and I got the thinking about, well, actually, I was listening to a different podcast, and they were talking about when they were kids and how exciting it was to go to wrestling events. And that was never something I wanted to do, but that got me thinking about, like, what was the thing that when I was a kid I bugged my parents about? And I was like, please buy tickets to this. Please take me to this event. And the only thing I could come up with, Wyatt, too,
Starting point is 00:24:34 I had the Hall of Notes concert that they took me to for my, I think, 12th birthday, which I begged for like six months to get tickets to that. And they took me, and that was cool. But the only other thing I could think of is when I was a kid, I used to, I really wanted to go to a water park. I lived in Florida for a long time. And my mom never took me to a water park. And at one point, I wanted to go so badly.
Starting point is 00:24:54 I wrote a novel about my mom taking me to a water park. and then I gave it to her as in like look at the effort I've put in you should definitely take me to a wet and wild now
Starting point is 00:25:03 and she didn't and so I never I don't know that I've I guess as an adult I've been to Flugerville or to the Schliderbaum
Starting point is 00:25:09 rather but and then I was thinking like Millie I remember taking her to see Panic at the disco and her begging to see Panic at the disco
Starting point is 00:25:16 in middle school and her begging to see two dudes named Dan and Phil who I still don't quite know who they were but there were a lot of YouTube
Starting point is 00:25:23 there's some kind of YouTube sketch comedy thing yeah I remember It was fine. She had the time of her life. But what was it for you guys when you were kids? Was there something you just annoyed your parents about? I wrote an essay about why I needed a PSP.
Starting point is 00:25:40 And you know what? I was wrong about that. You didn't appreciate the PSP when you got it? No, like I tried. I really tried hard. But no, that was not a great. Great system. I had a PSP.
Starting point is 00:25:54 That thing sucked. Oh, I thought that was, I never had it. I thought there was always love for the PSP. There is a lot of love for, but I don't like mine at all. I think more so, the first one. Oh. I could be wrong about that. But yeah, it was essentially a portable movie player for me.
Starting point is 00:26:11 I didn't play a lot of games on it. But I did write, I did like, picture art for it and like did a whole pitch kind of similar to you with the water park of why this is a great device and why I need it and how great it would be to have. So you enjoyed it more in your piece of fiction than you did when you actually got in real life? I definitely enjoyed the advertising campaign as to why it was cool, significantly more than the device itself. I love the idea of trying to advertise sneakily to your parents, like putting up leaflets around the house, just like trying to get in the subconscious. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:45 Well, I was, I did a whole pitch and it eventually worked. But, uh, yeah, I don't like I, it was a platform that I used to watch the movie Stealth and Triple X. that was about it. All roads come back to triple X. Yep, they sure do. On this podcast, they do. Yeah. Like, was there a, like, a football game
Starting point is 00:27:05 you always wanted to go to, Gav? Or, like, I don't know. Were you into anything as a kid like that? I know you had your dad bring you to America to see Red versus Blue Live, but you were a little bit older. You were like 18 at that point. Yeah, I got to see, I was 17.
Starting point is 00:27:19 I got to see episode one of season four early ahead of the internet. It was wicked. I'm trying to think of I think a water park was on my list there was a place called Aqua Splash that had that that ride
Starting point is 00:27:32 it's not really a ride a slide where you go down into the bowl and you spin around a few times and I went there and I freaking whacked my head on the bowl as I went in never went on it again
Starting point is 00:27:40 went in learned my lesson and came out and I think I'd bang my knee on the rim of the bowl as I fell into the water at the bottom too I think I just got beat up
Starting point is 00:27:52 I wasn't ready to like clench up. I think I was too loose in the ball. Too loose in the bowl. I have that problem. Every fucking morning. Oh, Christ. Did you, like, did you get to see
Starting point is 00:28:08 wrestling events when you're a kid, Eric? Some, but they were more just kind of like the bigger WWF stuff and everything when I was younger. I remember like really wanting to see Spider-Man one when it came out, but I was like right around like high school or whatever.
Starting point is 00:28:24 so it was like, well, somebody has to take me because that's like a whole thing. But then I wanted to go with my friends, so that was a whole thing. No, like there wasn't a lot of stuff that I was like dying to go do. I remember really wanting like a Nintendo 64.
Starting point is 00:28:39 Like that was a whole thing. But that like, yeah, that was just like so much want and want and want eventually getting it, I think probably for Christmas. But man, that like never really going anywhere. I feel like we always went places. Like I went to a lot of baseball games when I was a kid.
Starting point is 00:28:55 My dad had tickets through his work that nobody used because the Padres were so bad for so long. So we would just go to a lot of baseball games. So we never really wanted for like, oh, we got to go to this thing. Entertainment, yeah. Yeah, for me, it was always like a video game thing that I wanted.
Starting point is 00:29:11 That's really it. Anything for you, Nick? You know, I remember my dad was a big adopter for Net Zero, which was a not pay dial-up search. And I just remember being like, I just, can we please get, even AOL, I don't care. I just, because I used to play StarCraft and like Diablo 2. And so the little bar that was across the screen, whenever you clicked on it, it would take you out of the game and like open up an ad for you.
Starting point is 00:29:41 So I was always just getting my ass kicked in all these games. I was like, please, please, please get internet. And then on a random trip that my mom took us on, we came back and he had surprised us with not all. only high speed internet blown away by that he also got cable which we did not have and never had when i was growing up until i was uh i think 12 so he finally was like here you go you get all this stuff but i just remember begging for that over and over i remember getting a cable box for the first time as a kid and how exciting that was that wasn't a thing i was begging for because i didn't know it was a thing i was missing in life but having like it was just so many more channels
Starting point is 00:30:22 and, like, the little pop-ups on the screen, and it was crazy. What are the pop-ups? Just, like, a thing that would indicate what channel you were on and what the program was. Oh, like, the guide and all that? Yeah, like, the guide and, like, having a UI and all that. It was like, well, this is, we're in the future. This is fancy. I will say, I think we all pretty much always had cable growing up, but I was always
Starting point is 00:30:45 jealous of kids with satellite, because we would have, like, 40 channels on cable, and they would have, like, a thousand on satellite. They were not real channels and it was always bullshit but it sounded so cool and the satellite dish, it would like NASA was in your backyard. Yeah, I feel like England went more
Starting point is 00:31:00 down the satellite route than the cable route. Everyone had a dish. Did you see the post to someone? I don't know if it was on Reddit or Patreon or somewhere. But we apparently completely messed up the worst day's draft. And we'll like. What does that mean? Two different draft ideas, I think.
Starting point is 00:31:17 Was it? Okay. I think the draft, we had discussed an idea for a worst day's draft initially previously well far before we did the best day's worst day's draft but that idea I think was picking who was having the worst day in like a movie or something
Starting point is 00:31:33 yeah like characters who had just going through yeah oh that's like that's a fun like Michael Douglas and falling down yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah that's oh yeah I didn't even dude I don't remember having that discussion at all that's a great idea that's if that's an us idea we should do that that's fantastic I don't know I'm suggesting
Starting point is 00:31:50 I did, but then, didn't you pitch that and then I think you just read it and then decided to do best days and worst days? Probably. I'm going to write the best days, worst days was driven purely by thinking it was funny to do them back to back. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I thought. I'm going to write fictional worst days draft. I like, I like that. Like who had the worst days? It's probably one of those things where like in the moment the new idea sounded like a funnier direction in my head or we got two videos at it instead of one, so you just pivot and modify it, you know? I was thinking about fluid like water with your ideas. Sort of multiverse idea of there being an alternate timeline where everything that could happen does happen.
Starting point is 00:32:33 I was thinking about fictional characters. Does that mean there's a universe where John McLean is real? The plot of diehard just happens. What do you mean? If every, if there is a, like a different timeline in which every scenario that could theoretically happen, does happen. Does John McLean exist as we know him in
Starting point is 00:32:56 some timeline? But why go to John McLeck? You might as well say, if everything if every possible timeline has happened did you get hit in the forehead by a horse cock when you were younger? That's less interesting to me than John McClain. Not to be it, isn't? Well, that's you.
Starting point is 00:33:11 Why are you bringing the horsecocks into this? Why is he all excited about horsecocks? They're like, get him like juiced in this conversation so he started thinking about horsecocks. Well, I just don't know why if you open up the pool to infinity, why go die hard? Yeah, you could have gotten Thanos. Well, one, because he's fictional and two, because I feel like just the idea of a real-life John McLean having to go through all the things that he goes through is funny to me.
Starting point is 00:33:36 So skyscraper terrorism, airport terrorism. He rides a jet. He goes to Russia. He does a lot of things. He does. I think he jumps a motorcycle onto a jet, right? New York terrorism. Doesn't he back a police?
Starting point is 00:33:49 car into a helicopter or something as well. He launches one. Yeah. Oh, so you're saying there's a, there's a universe where not, it's, I just, I guess I thought just the first diehard happened, but you're saying all of the diehardz occurred in one universe. It's like a real guy that just, but then I guess in the scenario in which John McLean is real, there's scenarios where he doesn't do any of that, which is all so funny to me.
Starting point is 00:34:12 There's, there's fucking some, there's a scenario. There's a universe where he says, yippy Kai-A motherfucker and then stubs his toe and falters. I wonder who is closest to a John McLean. It must be like a Navy SEAL or something who just did crazy missions back to back. I'm trying to think of another line of work where you could end up in all those situations. Do you think in one of the John McLean universes, there's a movie that they all watch about a guy named Andrew Panton who does John McLean's type stuff? Oh, that would have to exist too, right? Like, they have to watch movies in John McLean's universe.
Starting point is 00:34:50 They have to be entertained. That's a good point. I like that Gavin was trying to find a job where it would make sense, a different job, as if John McLean's job made sense as to why he was doing all those things. Wasn't he a cop? Yeah, he's a cop. Like, none of the scenarios he was in aligned with what should be within his... She would be wouldn't have gotten involved.
Starting point is 00:35:12 What was the job involving horse cocks that Gavin was trying to come up with? Yeah. What are you talking about? What job? Vet? That jocky. Well, yeah, that could be a friend. You know, there's just a universe where it's exactly the same as what it is here, but just one of them, a horse cock just knocked out a jockey.
Starting point is 00:35:35 Like, maybe it's not even us. Maybe it's happened here. Who knows? Yeah, which would be a jokey? I think if one of us was knocked out by a horse cock, we wouldn't be in this situation we're in now. I think that would have steered the life off in a completely. did the life off in a completely different path. Really?
Starting point is 00:35:51 Yeah, you think if Eric took a horse cock to the face, age 11, he would be... I don't think it changes his life in the way that you're disgusting. He'd probably, yeah, he probably still be an intensive therapy at a home somewhere. Or he might be dead. Yeah, it's true. We'll have some, like, big cock and print on his head. Or he might be, he might be really into horse cocks. Yeah, I'll do a Gavin style.
Starting point is 00:36:13 Yeah. Could be rich from the settlement. I had a follow up to the... mundane coincidences in the movie thing. I got weird. The next night, after I watched the little things, I was just looking at stuff on Netflix to watch, and I got recommended a
Starting point is 00:36:28 zombie movie, like a foreign zombie movie called The Elixir, which is all about, like, herbal company, like a herbal drink company, putting out a new, like, essentially live longer type beverage, but it turns everybody into Zon. And things go wrong. Huh.
Starting point is 00:36:50 Huh. I watched about half of it. Then went to bed, woke up the next day, got the mail, and waiting for me was a package from a company that I'm assuming potentially wants to be a sponsor of the podcast. That is a herbal remedy for like just general things, like general alertness and improvement type thing. And I could not believe it. following up, I was like, I need to stop watching movies. This is, this too much. Yeah, how are you
Starting point is 00:37:20 getting this coincidental stuff with it? You gotta start watching movies. It was within 48 hours. Yeah, what movies? What movie was this? It was, it's called the elixir. And then the next day. Isn't that the plot of I zombie the TV show? Maybe. And the video game Sunset Overdrive, I think.
Starting point is 00:37:37 I don't know. No idea about that. Sunset overdrive was like, yeah, drinking a drink and everyone turned into like monsters or whatever. Oh, that's cool. Yeah. Weird. Yeah, watch movies where people find gold and stuff.
Starting point is 00:37:50 Yeah. That would be, yeah. Yeah, watch movies where people find gold. Watch city slickers, the legend of Curley's gold. Oh. You know what people say, like, oh, this person's worth their weight in gold? Mm-hmm. I would have to, I've just put it in Google.
Starting point is 00:38:03 I would have to be worth $13,400,000. And it made me wonder, what am I worth my weight in? Like, am I worth my weight in coal? Or, like, something shitty? Like copper I'm trying to think We'll be worth your weight in Like in terms of what I potentially
Starting point is 00:38:22 Generate for a company It'd be interesting to see what elements We're worth What elements were worth Yeah, sure of shit not gold For me Maybe salt What if instead of like
Starting point is 00:38:36 That's how raises work They change your element As opposed to like 2% more of that element Like, oh, I've upgraded. Like, it's a fucking multiplayer rank. I'm diamond this year. That'd be so cool, though, to have a, like, a video game-esque rank to mark your performance at work. Kind of dystopian, actually.
Starting point is 00:39:00 It is. That was a draft idea I had, by the way. It was dystopian business practices draft because I was just inventing them in my head. I came up with Imagine if DoorDash and Uber Eats started having like exclusive menu items for different
Starting point is 00:39:20 restaurants and how dog shit that would be and I think it's absolutely something that could happen in our 2025 reality. What are you talking about? Oh, do they? Yeah, there's stuff you can get that's exclusively on DoorDash or Uber Eats. For real? Well, yeah, for chain restaurants.
Starting point is 00:39:36 Oh. Okay. Well, yeah, I'm really good at this then. not only that they did like recently wendy's had like a barbecue burger and the only way to get it initially was through uber eats it was like an early exclusive taco bell does some like app only stuff too or like you can only get a chili cheese video through the app or whatever not right now but yeah yeah a lot online exclusive yep yeah i think i'd only heard of like entire restaurants being exclusive to a delivery service but not like a single menu item.
Starting point is 00:40:11 Not an item on the menu. Yeah, that was just extra level shitty. But yeah, I guess that is where we are. If you can dream of it being shitty, it's probably already a shitty reality. That would be an interest. I'm thinking about worth the weight of. And obviously that doesn't mean as literal
Starting point is 00:40:33 as you're interpreting it. It would be interesting to find, like to look at what a person, Like, whoever's listening, your yearly salary and then applying that to like how many burgers you could get. Yeah. Worth your weight in burgers, how many burgers is that? Or I guess hot dogs or like whatever you want.
Starting point is 00:40:53 It is a fun metric of... I do like the idea of a burger being a unit of measurement. Yeah, a unit of value. It does become complicated because there's a range of burger values. You get the value menu, you got a double burger, you got a bacon cheese. I think you just pick a burger and it becomes the regulation default burger
Starting point is 00:41:11 that you choose by. Like a McDonald's Cheeseburger or something, you know. I've looked up copper. 160 pounds. I've just rounded my weight to 160 pounds. 160 pounds of copper is worth $803. Okay. How much are you worth?
Starting point is 00:41:29 How much are you worth in palladium? Ooh, palladium? 160 pounds. How do you spell palladium? I think I've only dealt with that in Massifax. P-A-L-L-A-D. B-I-U-M, I think. A hundred and sixty pounds of copper
Starting point is 00:41:43 is only 800 bucks? Why is everyone ripping it out of walls and shit? Yeah, no kidding. What the fuck? I thought it would be way more than that. Bies a lot of cigarettes and beer, I guess so. Damn. It's probably pretty heavy.
Starting point is 00:41:55 If you just get like a big bundle of wire, there's probably a lot of copper in it. Dude, my uncle, he used to work as an electrician, and he would take all scrap copper and stuff from the week and throw it in his truck and come over to my grandparents' house on the weekend and just drink beer and listen to country music and just strip fucking copper wire
Starting point is 00:42:11 in the backyard all night long. Really? A lot of my child. Whoa. Whoa. And then he'd go make an extra 80 bucks or whatever. My people hustled. We made money where we could.
Starting point is 00:42:32 Palladium is $1,400 for what, though? Is that a pound? Is that a gram? It's $1,400 bucks. Palladium is $1,400. I thought it to figure out for me. I think one palladium, please. Here's $1,400.
Starting point is 00:42:44 Just give me one palladium. What's a Troy ounce? Is that, is it, what's a Troy town? We don't, we only found out that microseconds exist, so I don't know, man. What's a Troy second? That ends every clicker game experience for me, or like you're generating money in these games, and then it gets to a level of value that I don't understand, and I just, I stop every time.
Starting point is 00:43:06 That's the end of the game for me. The number gets too big and you go, eh, unrealistic. I don't recognize these symbols and it's like, I can't even like imagine this. So it's not even fun. What's an example? I like, I feel like I've seen like a QC before. Quality control. Yeah, but dollar wise.
Starting point is 00:43:26 You get millions and billions and hundreds of billions. And then once you like, once you get past that, it like becomes hard for me to imagine. And that's sort of the fun of being like, oh, every time. this guy does this thing, and every 10 seconds, it's a million dollars in the game. Once it gets to a currency level that is hard for me to comprehend, Bezos money, I guess some could say.
Starting point is 00:43:48 What I know how much a Bezos fart is worth? Like, how much money does he make while farting? We can figure that out. Probably could. Average person farts 20 times a day. Probably takes one second to fart, maybe two seconds a day. I found something.
Starting point is 00:44:01 You think that's high? No. I don't, I don't fart that much. What if we'll do, We do, like, farting into a bag day and see who inflates the bag the most. Oh, my God. Like that Mario Party minigame where they inflate the, uh, the Bowser? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:18 Who's going to have the biggest fart back? I feel like I go through farting phases. I hope it, I have to catch it at the right time. Because there are days, I may, I may fart like three times on a Wednesday, you know? But then like 40 times on a Thursday, you just never know. What are you eating Wednesday nights? That's a good question. The last night
Starting point is 00:44:38 I had the worst fajitas I made him it sucked oh no yeah I was real bummed man I decided I wanted to cook
Starting point is 00:44:47 fajitas I thought that'd be a nice little thing for Emily to come home to because this is the bad time of the year
Starting point is 00:44:51 for her and she's exhausted and plus she broke her toe the other day and she's just like working through it and it's been
Starting point is 00:44:57 a whole thing her toe's like it looks like it's black oh god it's gross it's fucking black she calls it
Starting point is 00:45:03 her zombie toe anyway she like sticks it face a lot. It's really disgusting. Anyway, so I decided to make her fajitas. I thought that'd be a nice little surprise, and I went to the store to buy fajita meat, and it was all turkeys for Thanksgiving, and I thought, of course it is. Why would I, why would I buy fajitas in November? Why would I expect to find
Starting point is 00:45:23 fajitas meat in November? But also, I live in Texas, and it's 86 degrees outside, and I rode my bike in shorts and it came home too sweaty, so I feel like grilling is probably still on the table. So I went to three grocery stores before I found fajita meat, and then it was. very good. What is for he and meat? Just like shitty meat? Yeah. Well, it's like, it's like cut up skirt steak. Yeah. Like surely if you couldn't find for heat of meat, you could you just hack up a steak? I could have hacked up a skirt steak myself, but it was already marinated and cut up. And I'm not looking to put that much work into this thing. I don't have all the time in the world. If I'm going to marinate meat, I want to do it for a while. And I had this idea
Starting point is 00:46:00 at like 4 p.m. So it was more just like, oh, I'll just run over to Whole Foods and get some, nope, All right, I'll just run H.E.B. Nope. I'll just go to the... Okay. I don't even know what we're talking about. Oh, because that... But it didn't result in farts. Oh, okay. Oh, right. Okay. At Capital One, we're more than just a credit card company.
Starting point is 00:46:21 We're people just like you who believe in the power of yes. Yes to new opportunities. Yes to second chances. Yes, to a fresh start. That's why we've helped over four million Canadians get access to a credit card. because at Capital One we say yes so you don't have to hear another no what will you do with your yes
Starting point is 00:46:41 get the yes you've been waiting for at Capital 1.ca.ca slash yes terms and conditions apply I've just realized in the between people talking in this podcast I'm so distracted because I bought new headphones and when there's silence
Starting point is 00:46:55 I can hear my earblood what? I can like hear my heartbeat what the fuck hey that's just a crazy way to say heartbeat well I can't hear my heart I can't hear my
Starting point is 00:47:08 I can't hear my heart I can feel I can hear it I can hear like the blood That's why I don't like ear plugs I can hear my heart When you do it I'm not a fan
Starting point is 00:47:19 Could you really? Yeah I feel like you can I feel like your body looks for sound And that's internal Yeah You can hear it It'd be cool if you could just tell your body I'm not interested in any sounds right now
Starting point is 00:47:32 You don't have to You don't have to give me all the information. Like, I assume my blood's moving. That's fair. I might have to return these headphones. They're like too... Too good? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:45 Too sealed. Do you think you'll get used to it? Like, sometimes when I've swabbed headphones before, and I couldn't hear myself in them, there's definitely a phase of like, oh, this is terrible. Then you get used to it, and then you can lose it. Maybe you need that. Maybe after a while, you'll be like, I can't believe I lived without this. without hearing my heartbeat
Starting point is 00:48:05 Yeah Do you think you'll miss it? You might not even notice it You might be like oh fuck am I still alive I don't have that comforting heartbeat to listen to it maybe Maybe I should stick A stick a microphone in my ear and record it or something And then I'll listen to it and see if that's why I'm hearing Yeah
Starting point is 00:48:25 Sure go for it I think you have a microphone that you can put in your ear currently Yeah Really interesting Well I mean I love microphone fit down my earhole. Sure. Okay.
Starting point is 00:48:36 So what's... You're really surprised? Then you're like, oh. Oh, I didn't know you had one. How about that? I've also got one of those, like, contact, what they called? The mics that you actually, like, stick to something? Like, you, like, suction them on?
Starting point is 00:48:54 Suction cut? No, they pick up, like, the low frequency of materials. Oh. Remember. Well, then we're not going to get it. Nick's the only chance we had that one. Yeah, we struck out. Yeah, we struck out.
Starting point is 00:49:06 It's like a mic that you stick on something? Oh, yeah. Huh. Is it like the thing we did and does it do? Yeah, is it like a magic ear? Oh, well, yeah, what was the, that was like the... Wasn't that what the thing you yelled in? Almost blew up my eardrum.
Starting point is 00:49:24 Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, that is funny. That was so funny. You must have some weird specific like recording and or tech stuff for what you do with slow mo guys Gavin what's one of the weirder items you have that like you just don't get to pull out often
Starting point is 00:49:42 I don't listen like weird probe lenses at funny angles and yeah I guess that like contact mic is kind of weird you don't use that all the time is there any greater joy than when someone says like oh I need this incredibly specific thing and you get to go I got it I'm ready yeah isn't that so satisfying but you're like oh I've got this
Starting point is 00:50:00 I had something that someone needed recently. It was like a screwdriver that only Nintendo uses. Yes. I was like, yeah, I got it. Whoa. That's crazy. If you need to open up like an old retro console or like a virtual boy or something, I've got you covered. You were going to try something, Gavin, that you texted me about, and I was curious, what's the state of your Pikachu at the moment?
Starting point is 00:50:31 So the thing I'm going to try, I was reading a thing that, you know, it's getting to the point where a lot of my childhood is dying. Like VHS tapes are going all gammy and you've got to like back them up because like the magnetic shit's coming off them. And like Game Boy games, the batteries are dying around now. So I was thinking, I need to save my Pikachu. I need to get my Pokemon yellow Pikachu off that cartridge and get him through the generations up into a modern Pokemon game. but it's very difficult to get them off like a Gen 1 and 2 cartridge there's some weird like hackery to be done
Starting point is 00:51:06 but I think it's possible So when you say hackery you're going to have to go beyond the maybe initial designs of what Nintendo allows to have this happen Yeah I'm potentially gonna have to dump the ROM off my cartridge to a PC and then potentially try and use a different hack to trade him onto a Gen 3
Starting point is 00:51:24 and then just keep trading him up Eventually get him into Pokemon Bank which is like a delisted DS thing that you can still get and then into an app called Pokemon home on the switch where all of your current Pokemon can just live in a box
Starting point is 00:51:38 but I think it would be so cool to be like oh yeah I met this Pikachu in 1998 or something That is cool this is fascinating I would love to see you chronicle that process
Starting point is 00:51:50 that sounds really good I think I'm gonna try and document it because I think it's gonna be weird to be able to say this Pikachu is older than all my real pets And I could actually outlive all of pets, all of my pets and me. Yeah. It's like buying a bird.
Starting point is 00:52:07 Because I am always sad that as a kid, I was always selling my last thing to buy like a secondhand new thing. So I don't have my original Super Nintendo or my original N64 with like my original Donkey Kong 64 save on it. But for some reason, never sold the Game Boys. The game, like my Game Boy games are the oldest. The oldest game saves I have, and I kind of love that. That's so cool. You should go in and check the batteries on this and replace them. You need to.
Starting point is 00:52:36 Yeah, I checked my Pokemon Yellow cartridge, and a Pikachu lives. So I need to back him up as soon as possible, and then try this. Don't you, Pikachu, lives. I want to meet this Pikachu on a modern-day console at some point. That's what I was going to ask, is if, let's say, you get him to home, which sounds like the end goal. Are, is there any, like, modern game you're able to use him on? I think potentially I could, uh, trade him into Pokemon Scarlet or maybe Pokemon A, Z, or whatever the new one is. And he could just be in my, really? I think he's like a level
Starting point is 00:53:12 71 Pikachu or something. He definitely smashed the elite four in Pokemon Yellow. That's so cool. I was very excited. Pokemon Yellow, the first of the Pokemon games? No, it's, uh, it's the first one I had. The, first one that came out in Europe was the, I think the same ones as the US, which was red and blue. Oh, so it went red, blue and then yellow?
Starting point is 00:53:36 Yeah, and in Japan it was like red, green, and then blue. Okay. But apparently, it's Gen 1. They did the color thing from what I understand to try to compete with Mario sales. Oh. Oh, is that true? I heard they made it red and blue in North America
Starting point is 00:53:51 because of the flag colors. Oh. Really? Maybe. Maybe no one really knows. Well, I don't think the color is the, like, the reason as to why they sold two different versions of it was to try to compete with Mario sales. Did I assume it works? Is red, are they different games?
Starting point is 00:54:09 Like, is blue a different game from red? Yeah, like slightly. It's just the, because you can't get all 150 if you just play blue. You have to have red because it has a few Pokemon in that specific versus blue specific. and there's Pokemon that evolved by trading.
Starting point is 00:54:30 That was the thing that they wanted you to do was like you get this one and then your friend gets the other one and then you trade the Pokemon or whatever to fill up your Pocodex. So you wouldn't buy red and blue. You'd just buy red and then have a friend with blue and then there's a trade to get it that way.
Starting point is 00:54:46 I had blue when I was a kid. My brother had red, but I had a friend, Jase, and we would ride our bikes to an ice cream shop and trade Pokemon because he had Pokemon red. And it was like that's where we would meet up trade Pokemon and be like, hell yeah, dude, now we don't have to bring this stuff to school because someone might take it. So, yeah, I only ever traded between current gen.
Starting point is 00:55:04 I don't think I fully understood that you could trade Pokemon up generations. Like, you could wait three years and then use your Pokemon in the next game. I think that's so cool. You don't really get a lot of stuff like that now. No. Yeah, that is very cool. But I also determined looking through all this Pokemon crap, I don't remember any of the, any of the games.
Starting point is 00:55:24 Like, I play Pokemon X. Don't remember that for shit. So I think I'm just going to play Pokemon. Pokemon Y, the other one of that. And then I could potentially complete a poker decks, which I've never done. Is why the most current one? No, it's from like 2013.
Starting point is 00:55:40 It was just, I think, the last one I played properly. Talking about Pokemon made me think about it. I was a perfect age for it. I loved it. I had a bunch of the cards. Everybody, all the kids that I knew were super into Pokemon and getting the cards and, like, collecting them. and we did like a neighborhood trade between me and like four or five of the other kids in the neighborhood and my mom moderated it to make sure like things remained fair and thinking about the value of those like initial run cards now like at the time it was like whatever just making sure cards in cards out for people but the value of those cards in condition now it's so funny of thinking back.
Starting point is 00:56:26 of how much money probably passed back and forth, theoretically, with those things. I bet 160 pounds of Pokemon cards could be worth their weight in gold. Oh, yeah. Depending on the cards. Absolutely. And the grading? Yeah. Insane.
Starting point is 00:56:44 It's funny to think back of those things that, like, are worth not nearly as much as they are currently. Jeff? That's me. I'm Jeff. If you had to take your weight. in cards you don't get to pick what cards they are you just get a random weight of the cards that you own like your weight how much do you think they would be worth just a random amount like let's say
Starting point is 00:57:11 you're you're 230 pounds so i'm like 185 pounds so that's got 185 pounds of random cards that you had do you think they would be worth your weight in gold or what do you think, would they be copper? What's my weight in gold? Gavin, look up 185. Are we talking tops? We talk in Panini? I think it's just got to be like a random.
Starting point is 00:57:39 Like if you had to guess like a mean amount. I'd like to, I'd like to put some containers on it in the second, but I want to hear what this weight is. I somehow accidentally Googled 1985 golf. What can you tell me about 1985 golf? Well, 185 pounds of gold is $11 million.
Starting point is 00:58:01 How about I get $30 million from... I mean, I could put together $11 million in two cards, but yeah, if it's just a random, that's the thing, it's like, is it sport, multi-sport? Can I just, can I pick a sport?
Starting point is 00:58:18 Can I say only basketball cards? Yeah, sure. Yeah, you can pick a sport. Is there a potential for vintage in there as well? Yeah, I mean, if you own it, Sure. It would be a random assortment of cards that you have. Oh, then I own. Yeah. So you're asking if I have $11 million in cards? Yeah. Yeah. I didn't bat an eyelid when you're like, oh, I can work together $11 billion.
Starting point is 00:58:38 That was, I was really impressed. I'm like, wow, he must have some really cool cards. I was just thinking of you're in general. No, I mean, you're just asking me what my card collection is worth. I had nothing. Oh. 185 pounds of silver is $138,000. Do you think you can make that? Oh. Uh, no. Okay, 185 pounds of aluminum is 236 bucks. You think you make that, okay.
Starting point is 00:59:07 I'm somewhere in between those two. Yeah, absolutely. So between $100,000 and $230. I'm on the market smarts alone. Yeah, I mean, I have, I mean, I probably have $10,000 with a market of smart cards. The problem is how are you going to get somebody to buy them, you know? So out there, there are two cards that would combine to be $11 million? Sure.
Starting point is 00:59:26 That'd be such an easy way of moving money internationally. It's converting it to those two cards and just sticking them in your pocket. Yeah. Going through border control. Yeah, I'm sure you wouldn't be nervous the whole time or anything. I'm sure it would be so easy. I mean, more easy than a briefcase of cash. Well, here we go.
Starting point is 00:59:43 I can do it even easier than that. The 2007-2008 upper deck exquisite collection, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, dual logo man cards sold for $12.932 million. What? Shit. What? Like, if you, I get having, like, a lot of money and then you're spending it on, like, crazy stuff, whatever. But, like, one card 12 million? Like, what do you do with it? That's crazy. It's, it's just an investment. I would have zero joy. This is the card. I'd just be nervous. You just, you sit in it, you sit in it like a stock. That's the card I was thinking of that Mickey Mantle. I guess it's just like having a big, big old fat brokerage account, except it's one card. Yeah. And a lot. And a lot. lot of people are, uh, I've seen this a lot online are recommending a lot of the people are recommending that you put an amount of your investment into collectibles, not necessarily cards, but maybe like two to five percent of, uh, of your investments into cards, some, some form
Starting point is 01:00:41 of collectible, whether it be art or just to get physical and like, yeah, to, to diversify to have some sort of, P-proof. Yeah, exactly. Interesting. And if you look at how much cards have gone up in value, the right cards have gone up in value. I mean, it's good. We're doing that as a company. We have all these skateboards. We got Larry King stuff. We have the tuxedo. Yeah, we're diversifying. This is good.
Starting point is 01:01:07 Speaking of a diversifying, I saw something I think maybe we need. I'm going to post it in the Slack. Or in the Discord. Okay, Discord. Costco. Oh. Oh, the SpongeBob Claw machine? Yeah, we could buy a SpongeBob Claw machine. Yeah, we could buy a
Starting point is 01:01:22 SpongeBob Claw machine. today for 600 bucks. I don't want our own claw machine. I don't know. I don't want our own claw machine. I want to take this money, go to a claw machine place, and fucking bleed them dry. What if we had a claw machine and it was full of gurpas?
Starting point is 01:01:42 Okay. For what? Yeah, okay. Step two. Do you want to drink? I'm just saying, I feel like we've discussed having one in the past. I feel like we can find something cool to do I'm not saying we should buy this one today
Starting point is 01:01:58 I'm just saying they're out there and they're affordable they're attainable maybe we could hook it up so we just stream the claw machine and then people take it in turns to control the machine and if and you know they can win
Starting point is 01:02:09 gurplers in it I do like that idea I'm just thinking about it as a child because you're talking about Jeff like what's the the things you were you'd ask for on a smaller scale anytime I saw a claw machine I was
Starting point is 01:02:21 a fucking annoyance I wanted in Give me a dollar I can take this whole operation down with $2 just give it to me I get so excited When I was like claw machines came a little bit later For me it was It was gumball machines that had
Starting point is 01:02:36 50 cent stickers in them And then you would just get these two pieces of cardboard And you'd open it up and it just have like this fucking metallic looking sticker That said like rad dude Or something Oh yeah I'm just thinking about
Starting point is 01:02:49 If for like a A birthday or something something and I got super spoiled $650 just for claw machines. Oh my God. Dude. This is the thing when I go to something like pinball. Yes, the coin pushers. This is the thing that I spend all my money on. It is called disco fever. I love this machine specifically. It's like the only coin pusher that I play. It's my favorite. They used to have it at the real way up north one, the Lake Creek or Lake whatever it is. But apparently they don't make parts for it anymore and I met the guy who worked on it and I'm like oh yeah you guys bring it back
Starting point is 01:03:28 disco fever and you went don't ever fucking say that name to me and I went all right on man cool why that apparent like it's so fucking hard to repair it was always in disrepair but they have one at regular pinballs normal pinballs and so I go there and I play that I love it can't be harder to repair than that freaking horse racing game I think it might be neck and neck with the horse racing game. Here's a company that sells coin pusher machines. We can just buy new. Yeah, that Angry Birds one is fun. I play that one sometimes.
Starting point is 01:03:58 They look on Tornado on page two that looks pretty cool. Oh, cool. Sometimes it's a shame we don't have like an RTX to do stuff at anymore. I imagine if we sold the fuck face coin but then at RTX we had like an exclusive new coin, but the only way you could get it was to put your
Starting point is 01:04:13 fuck face coin in a coin pusher and hope that it came out. That would be crazy. That would be so nuts. Wow. We should do that. Well, I like, yeah. Yeah, we'll start selling our fuckface coin now and just say like one day in the future,
Starting point is 01:04:34 you may be able to use it for a chance at a new coin that we made. And a different coin, but you'll probably just give the coin you bought from us back to us. Yeah, and we're going to resell it. And you're going to hate it. It's unfortunately way too scamming. but I do like the idea of like a maybe for something in the future, like buying something that you might be able to use one day.
Starting point is 01:04:54 It's like buying a coin for a subscription service for a coin. You just keep trading it back and forth. They did a collector's edition I believe was I am 8 bit for blueprints that I bought because it's one of my favorite games of all time. I bought that too. And in it it has a coupon for future blueprints merchandise. So it's like, I don't know
Starting point is 01:05:14 what this is for, but... Wait, did you arrive? no I just ordered it he was so I was about to get up now Gavin was so he was mine
Starting point is 01:05:24 I'm supposed to have it I want it now Gavin it's in a coin pusher and you need to use a fuckface coin to possibly push it out it's the only way now would you buy
Starting point is 01:05:41 a gift a piece of I don't know collectible or ephemeral like this Gavin Do you buy three of them like every Bo Burnham album or You just get the one Okay
Starting point is 01:05:52 Yeah I don't I don't want three of anything useless Like I have been known to buy multiples of stuff I like that you got this Gavin Because there's collectible keys in that thing You and I are going to have to talk We're going to have to exchange What you got
Starting point is 01:06:08 We got We got to get Andrew we got to get your mom involved To make sure it's on the up and up We'll just do this trade in front of your mom It's so funny because she had no idea what she was doing. She was just an adult, but like in terms
Starting point is 01:06:21 of value or like how rare cards were, she'd have no clue. But I bet she was able to hold the whole thing together. Definitely. It orchestrated it, but it's not, she was not an authority on it. But you don't need to know about the cards to know which kid is being a wretched little shit.
Starting point is 01:06:37 That's true. And to see that it's your kid. No, I would have been the one. I was in the smallest. I would have been very non-confrontational and the tiniest little person on the street. Was that back when you could fit hats?
Starting point is 01:06:56 Oh yeah, I could definitely fit hats, I think. And there's a small period of time. A post-baby, baby couldn't fit hats. Then I got into hat mode for a few years and then out of hat mode. Baby couldn't fit hats. Oh, you saw a photo of me as a baby. Couldn't fit hats.
Starting point is 01:07:12 Do you remember the last hat you fit? Yeah, what age do you grow out of a whole genre of clothes? You know what? The last hat I could fit, which was a miracle. I was able to buy it at the store. I was able to buy it from a lids. It was a BC lion's hat and it barely fit, but it was during their worst season in like recent years. They had like one win the entire season. Do you think potentially if you kept the hat on, you could still be wearing it or would you have busted through the hat? Oh. I don't know. Or would you've just stifled your head enough. I assume I would have busted through the hat. I feel like my head is probably like my nose and even. I feel like it's all growing constant. That's the way you would have ripped through. I don't think you're a hat with your head.
Starting point is 01:07:54 It would be discomfort. Not good. It would have been like when a ring gets stuck on a finger and you have to have it cut off. Yeah. Fabric saw. We still need to make a hat that would fit your cranium. Yeah, we do. We failed so badly last.
Starting point is 01:08:09 Yeah, I just don't even know how we, like, I don't know how you approach something. Like, I don't know how to make new garments. garments, like we just tell them make hat bigger? Well, we still don't know Andrew's head size, because you still haven't scanned it. Oh, right. I need to print your head and then do some drapery on it or something. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:28 Someone in the community made me a beanie once, and I think they took two of, like, what the circumferences was to make it work. Did it fit? Yeah, it fit. Comfortably? Yeah, it was nice. But they had to take, like, they literally doubled, I think, the normal. size.
Starting point is 01:08:48 I've met you several times and I never once thought, bloody hell, your head's big. You just look like you had a normal head to me. I think it's sneaky. I think it's sneaky. Can't we just get you like, like one of these things and you just cut the hole so it fits you? You like, Bremel it out? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:11 Yeah. We just like, you get that. That's like the base and you go, well, it's not big enough. and then you go, oh, don't worry, I'll just carve this out. And then, yeah, that should make your head look really small as well. Yeah, you can, you can look like, you can look like this beautiful woman with her giant. It's the J.C. Penny sports fan shop. Really?
Starting point is 01:09:35 J.C. Penny sells a giant hat. These, dude, when you search oversized hats, these pictures are going on. Pictures are fucking killing me. I've already used these as a thumbnail, but I've got to do it again. Like, surely you're just going to ruin whoever's behind you. Just going to ruin that day at the game. Yeah. Nick, look, look, you can get the Longhorns one.
Starting point is 01:09:59 Sweet, they're doing great. Andrew, it seemed like we gave you a suggestion for a hat solution, and you're being pretty quiet about it. He's looking. I'm just the value, I'm thinking about it. I like to imagine that their head will eventually fit that. hat that it's small but that it's like getting shoes when you're a kid it's like oh you got like a little bit of room to grow yeah how about this question Andrew let's say we found a hat that fit you
Starting point is 01:10:26 perfectly okay it's not a comically large hat it's just a hat that's double the circumference of a normal hat so it fits your head snugly and perfectly okay uh so you have your choice of any sports team that you represent with your very first adult sized hat what team do you pick That's easy. I'm a big Vancouver Golden Eyes fan this season. First game on Friday of this week. Cannot wait. They got a fucking sick logo.
Starting point is 01:10:57 Vancouver Golden Eyes would be the team. P.W. Is that a hockey? That's a hockey team? Female hockey league. Oh, yeah. Okay. Their first season is on this Friday.
Starting point is 01:11:08 It's an awesome logo. So GoldenEye is a bird? It's, yeah, I guess like a duck. which I learned from that. I'd only heard Goldine in the context of Bond movies and I went, yeah. Ian Fleming's house.
Starting point is 01:11:25 That's an animal? It's crazy. I really like this hat that looks like you can get it at the airport. Just the hat. It says Vancouver. Vancouver. What time's the game? I don't know. I need to check that.
Starting point is 01:11:39 I'll have to look at that later. I just know it's on Friday. Are you going to be going to it? Are you going to be watching it? No, I'll just be watching it. No, I'll just be. watching from home. Okay.
Starting point is 01:11:46 But I'm excited. I'll leave in the team. It's fun to have like a new team to cheer for your area. Yeah. So I'm, that's what the Blackhawks, I mean, that's what the Red Wings are for me.
Starting point is 01:11:58 I'm gonna, I'm cutting that out, sending it to Burn Dog. I'm sending that to Burn Dog. He's gonna post it on the, he's gonna post it on the Red Wing subreddit. Dude, he's gonna get you.
Starting point is 01:12:07 He's gonna get you. He's gonna get got. They're gonna get me good. I said the wrong one. but it is it's fun you don't know anything about them and you're learning and you don't know who all the players are yet
Starting point is 01:12:21 and you're starting to figure it out and then you're starting to recognize names and then yeah it's you start to discover the story lines and who hates who and yeah discovery is always fun it's like a whole other level when the team didn't exist
Starting point is 01:12:34 and this is like the first game of the team and being able to follow their history from the beginning what do you think this podcast has been worth its weight in. Hot dogs. Like Costco hot dogs, $1.50.
