Hello and welcome to another episode of the Regulation Podcast.
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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?
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?
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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,
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
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.
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?
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
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.
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?
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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,
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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
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.
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?
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.
He's this apple.
Yeah, with the tomato.
That's crazy.

Thank you to Factor
for sponsoring this episode
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,
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,
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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?
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
I had the worst
fajitas
I made him
it sucked
oh no
yeah I was real bummed
man I decided
I wanted to cook
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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?
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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,
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
