Starting point is 00:00:37 My name is Jeff Ramsey with me, as always, Andrew Panton, Nick Schwartz, Gavin Free and Eric Badour. Andrew, go. I'm going. That's I'm literally muted to cough right when Badour. Andrew, go. I'm going. That's I'm literally muted to cough right when you said, Andrew, go. That's perfect. We are here on episode 63. And we've been doing a lot of recording earlier in the week. We've been playing FBC Firebreak, having a lot of fun.
Starting point is 00:00:59 And when we were done with that, I said to Jeff, because you're leaving today, the day that we're recording this to go somewhere. I said, when are you leaving? Are we doing because we have let's play scheduled at our normal time? And then we have a podcast scheduled later. I said, are you plan on doing the podcast that the scheduled time or the earlier time? And you said, I think the scheduled time, which is later in the day
Starting point is 00:01:23 than where we are now. And then I said, OK, well, then maybe I'll pitch that we do something else in the Let's Play slot since we've already recorded three this week. And you're like, that's a great idea. And then like a day later in the slack you posted. So can we record the podcast at the Let's Play slot? And I went, oh, something happened. So it's not that something happened.
Starting point is 00:01:43 It's that when you and I had that conversation and you said, would you like to record the podcast in the regular slot or whatever? So for the audience at large, we have we have a calendar, digital calendar, it's on a computer. We all have access to it. And for the entirety of the regulation podcast and most of face, the the scheduled time to record the podcast is at 3 p.m. Central time on Thursdays However, I think it's been a year since we've recorded at that time
Starting point is 00:02:12 Damn near we almost always record it at 11 a.m. During the let's play slot because we figured out early on That we blow through a lot of energy in Let's Plays and then we don't feel like we have 100% necessarily for the podcast and we don't want that to happen. So we never made the change on the calendar, but ipso facto, we've been recording the podcast at 11 a.m.
Starting point is 00:02:37 for essentially the entire run of regulation. So when you asked me that question, in my head, I was thinking about the practical time that we record Not the 3 p.m. Schedule time that we I'm gonna push back on this because I said at the 9 a.m Let's play time is that one where you think we'll have to record the podcast or what like I specifically stated times Everything you else said was correct. We officially switched it though like a month ago We said we'll always. I'm gonna have to misremember that and say that I don't remember it that way.
Starting point is 00:03:11 We also, to be clear, like it's not, there are times where it's like we've recorded one let's play and then the podcast. Like what you're saying generally is true where we prioritize podcast. But there are some exceptions within the past year where we've recorded the show. But anyway, continue. Well, that was it. The problem is I'm not worried about getting in trouble with you, dickheads. You guys don't scare me. My wife, however, I fucked up and put my foot in my mouth with my wife the other day. She said, I said, she said, what?
Starting point is 00:03:36 What time are you recording the podcast on Thursday? And I. Understand that I'm conflating the thing I just said. When she said it, the first thing that popped into my mind is the scheduled calendar time 3 p.m. And I said, I don't know normal 3 p.m. Time and that's when she got angry at me Which is a very rare thing in my life. Emily has been mad at me Maybe six times in the eight years we've been together. She got genuinely annoyed with, I know, right? Patience of a fucking saint is how. She, she, it's not, she doesn't even put up with me.
Starting point is 00:04:14 It's almost like she likes me most of the time. It's insane. But in this instance, she was understandably miffed because she said, excuse me, 3 p.m. No, and then I, and as soon as she recoiled in horror from my 3 p.m. statement, excuse me, 3 p.m. No. And then I, as soon as she recoiled in horror from my 3 p.m. statement, I realized, oh, I just fucked up. We actually are gonna record at 11 a.m.
Starting point is 00:04:33 She's mad because I told her we could leave at 3 p.m. Because she gets off work at 2.45 and she was like, I wanna be on the road at 3 p.m. Because we're driving up to Michigan because we're taking the bulldog. And so we couldn't fly with them. And so I immediately go, oh, I fucked up and I try to fix it But in that moment when you go, oh, I misspoke what I meant to say was it's already too late
Starting point is 00:04:53 Because now you just look like you're on your heels and you're just fumbling to get out of trouble and making shit up and it wasn't and so it ended with Emily telling me that she has Tried to let me be a big boy for long enough, and now she's going to deal directly with Eric when it comes to my schedule. Oh, what? Yeah. Oh, shit. I mean, I got what is what's what's the other solution? You blew it, dude. Blew it. I put my foot in my mouth.
Starting point is 00:05:22 Three. It's so we can block off the whole day. I know. Is the reason that that's there. Why wasn't it as simple as going three? Oh, sorry, I mean 11. Right, exactly. Because I'm not smooth like that. And when, first off, and then secondly,
Starting point is 00:05:37 I'm not used to seeing Emily's eyes do that thing they did when I saw anger. And so it caught me completely off guard. And I'm like, why would something innocuous as the number three cause a, and then I realized, oh, we're leaving at three. And so then at that point, like I am, I'm seven years old and I'm scared, you know,
Starting point is 00:05:55 I'm not thinking straight. You see, then that's when you start to go, but no, actually what I meant to say was, and you start to try to backtrack. And then that just looks like you're covering up for a lie. You know, you're slamming your dick in a toilet suddenly. You're slamming your dick in a toilet Yeah, and your mom took away your metallic albums Did you consider recording from the car?
Starting point is 00:06:12 Could have sat in the pasture seat hopped on the discord and your phone Some audio going the thing is is I was always planning to record the podcast at 11 a.m Now the reason I sent that text to that slack is because she made me. She was like, are you sure the guys know? And I'm like, yeah, we always do it. And she's like, I don't think so. I think you need to be specific.
Starting point is 00:06:34 She was right. And I was like, okay, so I sent the slack and all is good. She's very correct because if you didn't send that slack, then I would have pushed for us to do like a draft in the 9am slot. But now we always do the podcast first every week. No, it's not. It's not always.
Starting point is 00:06:50 OK, we officially moved. So so so so I agree with what Gavin's saying, because that's been requested. However, yes, like a month ago it was requested. So that's what we've been trying to do. However, every time I bring it up, there has been pushback almost every week to try to get, well, maybe we'll do a let's play and then we can sandwich in this other one. It has been a near nonstop thing. And then we end up doing the podcast first anyway.
Starting point is 00:07:17 I agree with Gavin. I, I all agree to change it. I don't know what I, me too. That's what I thought. And that's the way I've been operating. A hundred percent. The normal time of the podcast is 11 on Thursday. Yeah. OK. And has been for like maybe six weeks.
Starting point is 00:07:33 Yeah. About about a month. I have a question. It's not on the calendar. It's not displayed that way. That doesn't matter. And we haven't recorded at three p.m. in a fucking year. You don't know. I agree with that. Hey, Jeff. Hey, Jeff. We a fucking year, you don't. No, I agree with that. Hey, Jeff. Hey, Jeff.
Starting point is 00:07:46 We actually need to have a scheduling conversation. So if you can get Emily in here, if you just want to take a back seat, that'd be fine. She's at work right now. But yeah, I'll bring her in next time. Eric, Eric, as a producer, you, I think, have some quite dogshit calendar etiquette. I have I I completely understand. I completely understand what you're saying. The Thursday is the full day for our recording and I leave it the way that it is because
Starting point is 00:08:14 you guys request changes and I'm not going to nitpick for us. The calendar for RT was so everyone else stayed off our backs. This is a full day block off for us That is all that is useful to know what's in what order? The only confusion I have is I'm not sure if it's more on Ville time or your time like I'm still I'm working on that That's my only hurt Right. I see three I can figure out more on Ville time which three though I will say the audience really crashed on to goof time there
Starting point is 00:08:46 Goose time as they call it. They are loving it I saw somebody did we put it in the slack or something where somebody suggested a clock that yeah could change So we're all in regulation time. Yes, the that is the single craziest idea I think anyone's ever had and it's the idea that I think I love the most That's what I said when I wrote it down. Can you imagine if we had and all of the regulation listeners had a clock that's only on Andrew Time and we only scheduled stuff on that time. So it'd be like Sloppy Joe is at 4 15 and everyone knows the exact. That was the entire point of what I was suggesting.
Starting point is 00:09:18 Yeah, I mean as a product though, that'd be crazy. This is not crazy if you only live in Marronville or whatever. Idiot town. I don't remember what it was called. It's not a problem. Goof town. Andrews Goof World. Andrews Goof World. It's easy. A lot of people on my side about goof time. Just a rare occurrence.
Starting point is 00:09:37 A lot of people on Andrew's side on Goof Time, myself included, by the way. But anyway, I you're on Andrew's side. I'm also gonna be on Eric's side for whatever he said a second ago about scheduling, because I can't be on the wrong side of Eric and Emily at the same time. That's a lot. You guys are all on the wrong side of me,
Starting point is 00:09:55 except Andrew. Andrew's the only one. Me and Andrew are on the same side. No, absolutely, goof time, baby. Now, everyone shut up. I'm against everyone this July. July, I'm against all of you. The only time that I'm with you again
Starting point is 00:10:06 is when we have the GURPLERS on sale August 1st. Holy shit. I'm very excited about the GURPLERS. These are my favorite GURPLERS that we've ever made. Stealth dropped a GURPLER announcement at the beginning of the episode. We never do that. Yeah, do you know why I did that?
Starting point is 00:10:23 Because this comes out the goddamn 23rd of do that. Yeah. Do you know why I did that? Because this comes out for God damn 23rd. Oh, shit. And we told everyone that the Gerplers were going to come out in early July. So that's why I'm letting everyone know now. Friday, August 1st. Let's say probably 1 p.m. I think it's 1 p.m. Central Time.
Starting point is 00:10:43 It is now that what I don't know what time that is in Goof World time, but that's what time we're going to be releasing the new Gerplers, the Cosmic Gurp, very excited about it. We're gonna have a live stream on Twitch.tv slash the regulation pod, probably starting around 12.30. Who knows what we're doing? We're very excited to have a big release that day for the Gerplers for you.
Starting point is 00:11:04 Gavin, how did you like filming that video? I liked it. I only wasted two apples filming it. You didn't eat the apples. Well, it landed on the floor and rolled through a bunch of powder paint. I didn't really want to eat after that. Yeah, that's a good call. What color did you powder paint the apple? I just kind of kind of brown.
Starting point is 00:11:23 It's just like all the powder paint. What color? What color does all paint make black the apple? I just kind of kind of brown. It's just like all the powder paint. What color what color does all paint make black? Brown, I think. Yeah. Yeah. I'm the wrong guy to ask. Speaking of colors, making colors. Did you guys see somebody did the mashed potato test on the subreddit and they combined blue and yellow mashed potatoes and it made green mashed potatoes?
Starting point is 00:11:42 I didn't. Yeah, totally worth interesting. Beautifully. I still think we should do it, do our own experiments, because I really want to see Bernie paint a masterpiece. Absolutely. I just like the idea of him requesting a color and then we're just in the lab next to him trying to come up with it. How going back on the GURPL Apple video that you filmed, Gavin, how long did it take to shoot that? Was it longer or shorter than the first one you did? Sure.
Starting point is 00:12:10 Wow. So you're like honing in your GURPL throwing skills. You become an elite at a thing that is useless. Are you just talking about the Apple throwing section or the entire thing? I guess the entire thing. Yeah, it's about three hours. What was the last one? Yeah, probably four. Four hours?
Starting point is 00:12:30 Okay. Are you as happy with the result of this one as the first one? Because the first one, the way it impacted was not what you were necessarily going for, but it looked awesome. How do you feel about how this one turned out? I was I was okay with it. You're okay with it Yeah, I mean it's never all gonna go perfect, but I did a little little bit of flair at the end that worked well So I thought that's the take I'm using did you try is it a side throw like last time or is it a vertical drop?
Starting point is 00:12:57 Into the group. It's a side throw. Okay. Do you want to just watch it? Okay. Do you want to just watch it? I'd love to see it. Is it done? Is it ready? No, it's not edited, but I feel like you're asking me so many questions. I might as well just show it to you. I'd love to see it. Okay. I love the last one. Yeah. That could maybe be the way we announced it to the audience. Let's see it. Well, I think he just did. Announce what? Like if it came out before this podcast. Oh, yeah. Oh, I stick it on YouTube this week or something. I see. Yeah, do it. Yeah, I want to see this apple drop or throw. I wasn't sure if you'd go for a drop because the whole Bobbin for apples and with how thick the gherpler is, I feel like an apple would fit. You think you could Bob for Apple? I know not Bob, you couldn't Bob, but feel like an apple would fit. You think you could bob for apples? I know not Bob, you couldn't bob, but I think an apple would fit in it.
Starting point is 00:13:49 If dropped in, it'd be a tough bob. I've got I've got like I can't bob. No, I can't either. Terrible. My nose is a real problem for the for the bobbage. That's interesting because I feel the same about mine, but mine's unbreakable and I feel like yours is just an accident waiting to happen. There's not a like when I look at your nose, I just think like that. I would be worried if that was my nose.
Starting point is 00:14:16 I have a nose is an accident waiting there. If you walk into a door, it's done. His nose at the door. Probably both. I don't think it goes well for either of. Oh, my nose does bleed like an absolute pig when it gets hurt. Oh, man. That doesn't shock me. You would be a terrible boxer, I think.
Starting point is 00:14:43 It would just instantly shatter. It would be a mess. It would be disgusting. It would not be good. I wonder if somebody could hurt their fist on your nose. Oh yeah, it would hurt to punch me in the face, I think. Hold on to that. That's good.
Starting point is 00:14:58 I have a question for Andrew. Okay. Okay, I'm going to type something in the discord. You ready? OK. Andrew, what's this? Interesting. For those who are not watching,
Starting point is 00:15:23 I'll explain why I've typed in just a sec. Andrew, what's that? Huh. It looks like the language from Arrival. No, what is the character on the keyboard called? I love this show so much. On which keyboard? What do you mean which keyboard?
Starting point is 00:15:43 My Apple one or the Windows one? Both the same. I love this show so much. On which keyboard? What do you mean which keyboard? My Apple one or the Windows one? Both the same. Huh. Can I get a clue? Trying to dude, I'm trying to stay quiet. I'm losing it. It comes in full and semi versions. Because the reason I ask is I've got a clip.
Starting point is 00:16:08 I'm going to play it for you right now. Okay. Hit me with this clip. Ow. I don't think that's the clip. But I just realized that my headphones are paired to my phone and I turn the volume up really loud. I got to play it in my own ears.
Starting point is 00:16:32 I got to say, it's a lot of incompetency coming from a guy who's trying to come at somebody else. I'm wearing new headphones. Still waiting for your gerbil throw clip. Don't know how to post or share your audio clip. Got Gavin got himself while trying to get in. He just keeps stepping on Rakes. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:16:57 Any second, any second, buddy, hit us with the clip. Make a fool out of me. It just won't play now. Really, really stick it to Andrew Gabb. Don't edit a single moment of this, Nick. Nick, if you could edit in another 45 seconds of dead air, that'd be awesome. The podcast would be over if you did that. This is brutal. Are we getting the gerpil video finally? This is brutal. Here we go. Third time's the charm. Are we getting the gerpil video finally? www.https.com
Starting point is 00:17:33 Oh my god. I didn't... Is that real? What is that from? What episode is that from? That's this most recent episode I think. That's from the one that just came out. No way!
Starting point is 00:17:43 Yeah. Is that what? No! I didn't even catch that. Double dot. The audience picked up on it immediately. Double dot. It's two dots. Well, why don't you call it double dot when I just posted it in the discord? I guess if you asked me to describe it, I'd say it was a double dot. But I don't think that that's what it's called.
Starting point is 00:18:04 So you call that you call that doubled up I'd say it was the double dot, but I don't think that's what it's called. So you call that double dot? Yeah, I just go with the double dot. Got a double dot right there. Double dotting. There's dip and dots and there's double dots and that's a double dot. Dip and dot is a space food. The real foopa situation here, Gavin. Huh. Would you like to give me some expanded knowledge on the double dot?
Starting point is 00:18:26 Would you like to broaden my horizons? You want to know what it's called? Please. It's a colon. That's a body thing. What? That's a body thing, a colon. That's inside the body.
Starting point is 00:18:40 Okay, well then I've got a second question for you then. No, I'm being goofy on the inside of the body. I know it's Colin. Yeah. You knew that? It's a different thing. I didn't. I often forget the name of that one. And most ones, to be honest, I got the comma. I got the comma locked in.
Starting point is 00:18:58 Let me look at my keyboard. We can run through what I know. Well, what's this? Oh, that's the semi, I'm guessing, based on what Jeff said. A semi what? Colin. OK. So what would you call it if Jeff hadn't just said what he had said? I'm just not fucking with that.
Starting point is 00:19:16 What? I'm just acting like that's not existing. Just getting rid of it. Don't need it. I feel like it's rarer to me in use than the colon. Yeah. I have a thing, unless you want me to go through this keyboard. No, no. Okay.
Starting point is 00:19:38 Okay. I, because there are times where I don't know if things I'm learning, everybody knows much like the shift capitalized thing that was so like to me, that was like, oh, that's like a keyboard trick thing. But is such an unbelievably, I guess, common thing to know that people think that I am lying about that. I am going to start tracking when I learn things about things and I'll post a little list of things I've learned. Some of it might be a guess for this.
Starting point is 00:20:10 And you guys can tell me if you want to expand on what any of these things are. Things I learned. Pinball machine difficulties. Why seasons? Rascal Flats is a lie. I don't know what the bottom one means. Uh-uh. Rascal Flats is a lie. I don't know what the bottom one means. Rascal Flats is a lie. His fucking name isn't Rascal Flats.
Starting point is 00:20:30 His goddamn name is like Gary something. He's got a lame ass name. I don't even know what that is. He's a musician. No, Rascal Flats is a band. Yeah, I thought it was the name of the guy that was singing in Rascal Flats. I thought his name was Rascal Flats and it was just named after him. The band. What are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:20:51 Rascal Flats is like always three guys. I understand. But I thought they just named the band after him. This podcast at one point was going to be called Andrew, but there's five people on it. You're allowed to have more people than what a name is. I'm not a restriction. Rascal Flats, there's just always three of them.
Starting point is 00:21:12 And unfortunately, they always look like this. Man, those dudes have had a lot of work done on their faces. Like, hey, life is a highway. I was scrolling on TikTok and I got a thing of this guy, Rascal Flats, AKA Gary, singing a song with a con. Not his name. But I thought it was his name. I was like, oh, that's the Rascal Flats guy.
Starting point is 00:21:35 And then I saw it was on a page named Gary something. And I was like, what the fuck is that? Who's Gary? And I clicked it was clearly his channel. Blew my mind. I thought he was Rascal Flatts. Also that Akon song is terrible. But that's not a human name. What do you mean it's not? We have people named like Apple Shish Kebab.
Starting point is 00:21:56 You can name whatever you want. That's a phenomenal bet. There are no rules on names. Jess fucking middle name is laser. You can just do what you want. He's got me there, yeah. Yeah, but typically if I hear... Also celebrity names.
Starting point is 00:22:12 They don't have to be real. They don't have to be legally binding. I just have always known him as Rascal Flats. Did you know that Dizzy Rascal? That's also not his real name. Yeah, I get. Like I've never thought about that. If you would have told me it was his real name, I would have
Starting point is 00:22:25 been fine with that. So it's Rascal Flats and not Rascal and the flats. Interesting. School's flat. His name is Gary Lava. And that's also not his real name. That's not his real name. You thought his real name might be Gary Lava. Why wouldn't it be multiple It's multiple layers deep. What's his real name?
Starting point is 00:22:48 Uh, Gary Wayne Vernon Jr. Oh, I'm a serial killer name. That's a bad name. Like I just want to like, do you think like Bono's name is Bono? Well, do you think his name is you two? Wait, hey, what's you two doing out here? Let's take a step back on this though. Okay.
Starting point is 00:23:06 Is Cher's name Cher? Yeah. So why can't Bono's name be Bona? I'm not saying, I'm not saying it can't. I'm asking if you think it is. Oh yeah, I would, I just, yeah, I guess I would have always assumed. I've never really considered he'd have another name. But if someone was like, hey, Bono's name is actually Steve, I wouldn't have been as shocked.
Starting point is 00:23:26 So wait, was that dude not born the edge? It's actually his middle name. Yeah, I think that's so cool. I love that it's two got Bono and the edge and then Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr. Half that band just went, we're just here to play the music, don't worry about us. It won't take long to tell you Neutral's ingredients. Vodka, soda, natural flavors. So what should we talk about? No sugar added?
Starting point is 00:24:15 Neutral. Refreshingly simple. The White Chocolate Macadamia Cream Cold Burr from Starbucks is made just the way you like it. Handcrafted cold foam topped with toasted cookie crumble. It's a sweet summer twist on iced coffee. Your cold brew is ready at Starbucks. So why seasons, Andrew? So that's the thing, we're gonna have to work through this as a crew. As a crew. Cause I saw as a comment on a Patreon thing, does Andrew know why seasons happen? Which is something I just have never thought about.
Starting point is 00:24:50 So you just learned, you just learned like this week how the seasons work? Well, no, I haven't, I haven't done any Googling. I figured I could talk through what I've been thinking. So you made a list called things Andrew learned and on it you put something you haven't learned yet That's true because it felt silly to make a second list of things that Andrew needs to learn about Just felt like too much, but it also felt like the best content would be me talking through this with all of you
Starting point is 00:25:19 Okay, I just feel like you've already learned the rascal flats thing. That's what I'm saying. That's why seasons August. This is a good place. This is why. That's why I like bringing this up, because I learned about. I thought I knew rascal flats and the Gary thing, but it went a layer deeper. I've been thinking a lot about seasons and why seasons occur. And this is what this is what I'm thinking.
Starting point is 00:25:44 And there's part of it that I'm still trying to work out. But I'm guessing because some places don't have seasons, some places it's always just hot. It's always cold. And I'm assuming. So we have a day and we have a night cycle.
Starting point is 00:26:01 And if I learned anything from the movie, the core, the Earth needs to be rotating. If it does it, if it stops rotating, that's a night cycle. And if I learned anything from the movie, The Core, the earth needs to be rotating. If it stops rotating, that's a bad thing. It's like an egg that never gets flipped. Exactly. But also there's a rotation of the planets. They're moving around. Everything is held in place by gravity or something.
Starting point is 00:26:21 And so I'm assuming that the day night cycle is a full rotation of the earth. That is my guess. Okay. Okay. Okay, keep it going, keep it going. And that a year is like a rotation, like a full rotation of the orbit that they make.
Starting point is 00:26:40 Keep it going. So my guess is that the reason why some places have seasons and some don't are probably related to the coverage in which the sun is in the rotation of the earth and or the geography shaping those areas. Can you give me just a quick rundown of what places you like? What like to you? What are the places that have seasons like that?
Starting point is 00:27:12 Like when you think of it, like this place has seasons. And give me a list of places that don't have seasons. LA doesn't have seasons. Okay. Texas to me. I don't feel like it has seasons. Florida doesn't have seasons. Okay. to me. I don't feel like it has seasons. Florida doesn't have seasons. OK.
Starting point is 00:27:27 New York has seasons. I have seasons. I don't think Vegas has seasons. Vegas always seems hot. Arizona definitely doesn't have seasons. All the desert climates seasonless. OK, so when
Starting point is 00:27:40 you had to do the Raymond Somer thing because we lost power for like two weeks, what season were we in? I'm just curious. That's a storm. I feel like. You know what?
Starting point is 00:27:51 Hey, when you're right, you're right. It was a snow storm, which made it, I think, especially weird. In the middle of summer, which is crazy. No, in winter, but you know what I mean, not seasons by the definition of which seasons occur, but like the actual climate difference in which one experiences in a season. Just to jump in really quickly, I will say one of the main
Starting point is 00:28:14 refrains I hear from people when they're expressing discomfort or discontent living in Austin is that they miss seasons. Yes, I feel like that is a vernacular thing. Well, although technically incorrect, people describe certain areas of the US or wherever as being void of season. Although seasons are occurring. How am I doing? Yeah, how's he doing guys? But on a planetary level, what causes seasons in places that, in your opinion, have
Starting point is 00:28:46 seasons? See, that has been sort of an interesting thing to me of I view where I live as definitely having seasons. It becomes hot, it becomes cold, there's snow. It's not an irregularity to kind of have the full spectrum, but LA does not, and it is very close. So my guess is that it is either something to do with the. Like positioning within the planet of like. Well, here's the thing, because I was thinking it might be a sea level thing. Could be an altitude thing. But Colorado is a seasonal place, I believe. And that is like they whatever you hear about Colorado, it's about how high above sea level.
Starting point is 00:29:29 How does homeschooling work? Like what? What's here's the thing about this. I was thinking about that. These are things I remember learning, but I just don't ever think about it. So it's gone. Sure, sure, sure, sure, sure. Like, I specifically remember these lessons and I know I've gone through this process. I just so rarely tap into this information. But it's like a fundamental of everyone's life.
Starting point is 00:29:54 It is, but not in how I need to experience life. Because I can't change the seasons. It is a it is a thing that is controlled by science and is beyond my personal control. So I don't have to think about it. Yeah, I probably remember about eight percent of what I learned in school at 50. OK, but do you remember seasons? I do. I do remember seasons. Interesting. I you know, this is not been the helpful lesson I thought I thought I'd get some guidance.
Starting point is 00:30:29 I feel like I've been very vulnerable here. I appreciate your vulnerability. Yeah, I agree. Do you remember anything about the way the Earth is positioned at various times of the year? Well, that's sort of what I meant by like, I know things orbit and move around. What things orbit? The planets, like the sun and whatnot. And the moon controls the tides.
Starting point is 00:30:54 And that's like a proximity thing, right? Yeah. Yeah. Gravity of the moon. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Did I answer your question? I'll be honest. I don't remember. What did I ask you? I think Gavin might be reeling so hard. Yeah. He can't like put it together right now. See, I thought as Gavin being the science guy, he would love this. Gavin, do you love this as the science guy? I'm just trying to delve in without just saying all the information because I feel like you do know it I
Starting point is 00:31:29 Don't think I do that's that was the whole point. I mean asking this I Don't think here's the thing. I think you're trying to Have me unlock a cabinet in my brain, and I'm telling you that keys gone brain and I'm telling you that key is gone. So even like I agree, I probably have had this knowledge. We're not finding the key. OK, you can turn all the lights on. The key is not open or the door is not opening.
Starting point is 00:32:01 There is no key. That's air just posted photo of a file cabinet with a head. That's me. Gavin, why don't you pick the lock for him real fast? OK, so in this kind of type in something. OK, imagine imagine the O is the sun. OK, looks like IO interactive almost. OK. Yeah. You're brain. I don't know, man. And the earth is the tilted the slash. OK, right. So the top of the slash is North Pole.
Starting point is 00:32:26 But I'm at the South Pole. North and South. Yeah. This thing about that. So it's rotating, but it's tilted at like 23 degrees or something. That so as you can see, when the Earth on the left, say that's. July. Can North the North Pole is towards the sun, but let's say in December when the Earth is on Pole is tilted towards the sun.
Starting point is 00:32:46 But let's say in December when the Earth is on the other side of the sun. See that on the right of the North Pole is tilted away from the sun. OK, so there's less light. Got it. Seasons are determined by how much direct sunlight touches an area. There we go. That makes sense. That totally makes sense. That's sort of what I was assuming. If it was this and the Earth rotated, but perfectly upright.
Starting point is 00:33:15 Now that was like IO interactive. That's kind of like a tie fighter to me. I can see tie fighter, too. I just have been playing a lot of Hitman, so I got IO on I on the brain. I make sense. I'm glad we could clear that up I'm sure all the people listening have been speculating wondering the same thing This is a Darth Vader's tie fighter There's gonna be a lot of screenshots for this week's episode that are just from the discord. Just ASCII.
Starting point is 00:33:46 Yeah. So, so the, when it's like directly in between those, that's when it's the equinoxes. So you know that everywhere has seasons, right? Yes, absolutely. I didn't mean literal definition of what the word means. I meant more in the social dynamics of the phrase. Right, so when we asked you what do seasons mean, what you started saying was not what seasons mean,
Starting point is 00:34:16 but colloquially what seasons mean? Yes. Got it. Just wanted to be clear. Just wanted to get that brain filing cabinet all the way open It is a pretty colloquial kind of guy. I think we know that Absolutely, definitely. That's the way that's the way it happens in Andrew's goof world or whatever. So yeah, it's fine He's the as the mayor of his goof town
Starting point is 00:34:38 Andrew what are your pinball machine difficulties? I didn't know you could raise it up and down. I assume that like that angle in which pinball machines are is like locked in and non adjustable. But I learned that you can like make the machine be more at a tilt so it's harder or flatter, so it's easier for the ball roll slower. Oh, I also didn't know that. Didn't know that. There we go. Gavin, you're the science guy and the pinball expert. Thoughts on that?
Starting point is 00:35:08 Yeah, I wouldn't say it's always directly related to difficulty, though, like some shots are going to be easier. When it's a faster ball, sure, just depends on the game. But it's always going to be easier if the ball moves slower. Yeah. And you can control the difficulty in other areas, too. Like you can be like, oh, it takes three hits of this thing to qualify this mode instead of. Oh, wow. OK, that's cool.
Starting point is 00:35:31 There's a lot of difficulty settings in the software, too. Is that more recent? Yeah, not that recent. OK, like I don't I don't fault you for any kind of lack of pinball knowledge, honestly, because I'm still learning about pinball I didn't know that you're supposed to like fucking beat the shit out of the machine while you're using it, but like Not to the point where it gets mad at you and yes machines got mad at you really fast
Starting point is 00:35:57 Yep, there was a time before flippers where being the share of the machine was the only way you controlled the bull And I had no idea Did not know that there were pinball machines without flippers until we went to that museum. And then I went, oh boy, I think stick and wheel might have been the pinnacle of fun at some point, and that's a real bummer. How do you think Tyson got so powerful? Big pinball guy.
Starting point is 00:36:20 Big early pinball guy. Pinball guy. Crazy. He's throwing hooks. So I called Gavin last week on the phone Which means one of two things either? I got terrible news that I had to tell him or I did something so Humiliating and embarrassing I immediately had to tell somebody Okay in this instance it was the latter.
Starting point is 00:36:46 Do you remember when we recorded the podcast last week? We did two episodes. I sure do. And just before we go deeper into this, I feel like this is an important lore moment. I'm assuming the last time we heard about you and Gavin talking on the phone, it went horribly to the point where you both felt like maybe the friendship was over. At least that's the last conversation we had in the context of the show. Oh, it was just like calling each other on the phone and then the calls.
Starting point is 00:37:12 Well, no, it was just like you two were. It was just like, I guess, awkward and like the timing was off and it just felt strange and you're both like, what was that about? So has there been how many phone calls? Have we corrected that? Have there been multiple calls since that call and we just haven't heard about it? I think so. I think there's been maybe there's probably been two maybe, you know, checking, checking calls or something.
Starting point is 00:37:33 I just wanted to see if there was a call between these two, because that was a big moment. So I'm glad you guys are back on as phone friends. What really does help, though, is that my phone just doesn't work where I live. Yeah, that's my signal. Yeah, we Gavin and I don't Yeah. I got no signal. Yeah. I, we, Gavin and I don't have a phone kind of friendship for sure, but it's only going to be important information. Like somebody's dying or I just did something to myself in this instance.
Starting point is 00:37:57 I did something to myself that I can honestly say I never considered being a possibility of a thing a guy could do to himself, and I can't believe I made it 50 literal years before I did it to myself. But when we recorded the podcast last week, the back to backs, I had to piss like crazy at the end of it. And I also wanted to let the dog out.
Starting point is 00:38:21 I have a bathroom right next to my office, right? But I got done recording, and I was thinking about letting the dog out. I have a bathroom right next to my office, right? But I got done recording and I was thinking about letting the dog out. As I was running down the stairs, I realized I gotta piss first. So I ran to the downstairs bathroom. And you know you do that thing when you like,
Starting point is 00:38:35 when you've really gotta go, your dick starts peeing like the second it touches air. Like I pulled my, I was wearing swim trunks, right? So I pulled my trunks down and my dick starts an arc of the second it touches free air. It knows that it's going in generally the right direction. And it's my job to kind of hone it in and get it into the bowl. Right. It's like when somebody drowns in a movie and they get the air. It's like, yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:39:00 Equivalent. Exactly. Exactly. And it's there's nothing you can do about it Once you your p your penis has decided it's time to go. It is time to go. You can't you know Toothpaste is out of the tube out of the dick tube Uh as it were and so I immediately start an arc of pissing like I can feel it coming out and i'm like This is gonna cut it close because my dick isn't totally free yet and i'm like You know, this is like split second decisions you're making, but it feels like it's taking an eternity.
Starting point is 00:39:29 So I'm like looking at my dick and my shorts and I'm pulling the shorts down and I can see the pee start to come out. And then something happened that has never happened to me. Like I said, I didn't know it was possible for it to happen. My shirt somehow fell in front and wrapped around my dick. And so I pissed all over myself. My shirt acted as like a piss filter and I pissed into my t-shirt and my shorts and all
Starting point is 00:39:55 back onto me and I completely and totally pissed into me. Never in my life. Never in a million years did I consider that my shirt would trap my penis on the way down and then I would be too late to do anything about it and I would just piss through my shirt. But the second I dried my hands off, before I even I washed my hands immediately and then I called Gavin and then I cleaned up and took a shower. But yeah, never. That's a new one. I got to say, I'm happy in the sense that here I can be 50 years old and life's still full of a few mysteries.
Starting point is 00:40:31 You know, we're breaking the mold on this show because in recent years I've shit my foot and you pissed yourself. The worst game of operations. And that that might be kids happened to any of you guys before? No, never. Very close. What? I once, I think I told this about 13 years ago to podcast, but I had surgery on my nuts, as you all know, I had a testicular torsion, so they untwisted it, shoved it back in.
Starting point is 00:41:01 And then I woke up desperate for a piss because I've been chugging water because the tube down my throat like hurt my throat a little bit. I just had like dry throat. So I was just chugging water. And then I woke up the next morning, still kind of out of it, still like slightly in pain. And I just needed to piss. I had a gown on. So I shuffled to the bog. And like Jeff said, as you see the toilet, as the toilet is getting bigger in your field of view, you need to piss more and more. It's like it just ramps up exponentially. Started pissing. And I would say as the piss was sort of around my ball area, so very close to the tip, I realized, oh, I've just had surgery on my nuts. Haven't even looked down there
Starting point is 00:41:42 yet. And I looked down and my bollocks are in this like mesh net and my cock is taped to my stomach. Oh, oh my God. Oh, and it looked like this. It looked like zero gravity droplets. I pissed like directly up sentinels from my own face. It was just like arcing. I let back. It was just like I could see the apex. If one of my eyes was like, it's like it's like you woke up and didn't know you turned inverted controls on. Yeah. Yeah. So every suddenly, I'm suddenly like dodging my piss
Starting point is 00:42:22 and ripping tape and shit off my nuts and Cock and I angled it down and then had to you spend about five minutes bopping up the Area had the walls. Yeah, went full Bellagio. That's really impressive No, I've never I don't think I've ever had a shirt issue I definitely haven't peed vertically Can happen it sounds like it these are dangerous something to look out for I don't think I've ever had a shirt issue. I definitely haven't peed vertically. Can happen. It sounds like it. These are dangerous. Something to look out for.
Starting point is 00:42:49 I don't think the chances are very good, but they're not zero. How long was the P? Was it a long peak? Because you really had to be. Yeah. Yeah, no, it was. Every piss I have is a lot of this now. You just being stuck in your shirt just like oh man Yeah, oh no. Yeah, I just kind of shuffled over to on top of the toilet and just kind of try yeah I had to mop and it was all thing take a shower
Starting point is 00:43:16 I think it's because I pissed myself at three in the afternoon You don't have to call me first you can do all the cleanup and then call me no I want to strike while the ir's hot. Yeah, I'm sorry I just like it's like it's like the time I ran I Shit my I shit the sofa and then I ran to tell you about it before I cleaned it up I just like I gotta tell you something about our friendship that requires me to tell you Immediately faster than any other person on earth. I Really appreciate it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:46 That's an unbreakable bond. It is. Can I ask what did you do with the shirt? I washed it. I did laundry. But I mean did you like throw it in the hamper or was it like right into the washer? No I just went ahead and put it right into the laundry and just did a full load of it. It was a white t-shirt so I just did a full load.
Starting point is 00:44:02 Well it was a white and yellow t-shirt. It's a white and yellow t-shirt. So I just did a full load of laundry. Yeah, I Know I know Eric's not on my side right now, and he doesn't like me because of July or whatever But I don't I don't like any of you just to be clear I don't like any of you except Andrew because of July I did something that I enjoyed with Eric yesterday that I figured we should talk about on this podcast Absolutely, I was about to ask Eric what do we do yesterday? We went to a bar in I don't even know what neighborhood you'd call that It was on 12th and Chacon. It's a bar called Nunya Nunya neighborhood bar none. You fucking business
Starting point is 00:44:43 N-y-a it is it's a very cool bar that the owner actually made a post in the subreddit. The day we're recording is the day after he made the post. He's like, hey, this is a bar that I opened that was inspired by regulation. I sent it to Jeff and I'm like, dude, we gotta go. What are you doing today? So me and Jeff met up, went down and checked out Nunya, which is a very cool bar that has a themed like menu that is themed around the Billy Ripken face card.
Starting point is 00:45:30 They also have a two dollar hot dog on Wednesday, which is when we went. And it's probably Jeff, correct me if I'm wrong, the best hot dog that we've eaten all year. No shit. This is the best hot dog I have eaten all year. And I'm not saying this because a guy themed a bar around our podcast. It is legitimately good. It had queso and pico de gallo on it. And that alone fucking elevated this hot dog.
Starting point is 00:45:59 Also, the tater tots are pretty goddamn good as well. The chips and queso were great. He has a Coors banquet on draft. It's it's everything I could hope for in a neighborhood bar. So me and Jeff had the idea. We got to go check it out. We got to get a dog. Let's stop in. Maybe he's there. Oh, he was there. Definitely. And immediately was like, oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:46:20 Oh, hey, what's going on? Talk to him for a little while about him opening this bar and all this stuff. It's a great area, a great spot. And me and Jeff are like, hey, let's going on? Talk to him for a little while about him opening this bar and all this stuff It's a great area a great spot and me and Jeff are like, hey, let's bring him some stuff We brought him to gurglers. We brought my face baseball and we brought him a slop o'clock, right Jeff? Well, I bought I grabbed what I thought was a slop o'clock turns out it was a cookbook. So we brought him a cookbook Here you go a flop o'clock he I'm gonna hang this in the bar. And then he opened the box and he went, what the hell is this? And we went, so that's the cookbook. The cookbook and the flop o'clock
Starting point is 00:46:55 are both in similar white pack like boxes. I see, yeah. Did he commit and nail the cookbook to the wall? No, you know what? I didn't see him do that. But he said he's gonna turn, I talked to him a little bit yesterday. He said he's gonna turn the Gerpler into a tip jar.
Starting point is 00:47:10 So if you go to hell, you tip, you can tip into a Gerpler. He also told me, he sent me a picture. He's like, hey, thanks for stopping by. I appreciate you guys, cause I posted about it. And he's like, hey, just FYI, you guys missed a crazy rush. He sent me a picture. There are like 40 people inside that bar.
Starting point is 00:47:27 Oh my God. It's a small bar. It was packed. He's like, yeah, you just missed it. Also, I don't know if you saw the outside, Jeff, we didn't go. I didn't know there was a backyard. It's huge. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:38 There's a giant TV and he's like, Oh yeah, we're going to do stuff for game days here. Also, we're going to do love Island watch parties. Oh here. Also, we're gonna do Love Island watch parties. Oh fuck, I'll come for the Love Island watch parties. I posted the menu in the Slack so you guys could see it. The menu for the restaurant is designed after the Billy Ripken f***face card. He has the main drink at the bar is the Regulation Old Fashioned. And he has a graded Jim Mint 10 Billy Ripken face card behind the bar that he'll let you look at
Starting point is 00:48:08 if you ask. Yeah, he also has a, there's a drink on this that he said was also inspired by this podcast and learning when the high five was created. So he has a drink called the high five. Wow. Phenomenal. That's awesome.
Starting point is 00:48:21 I can't wait to go. It's amazing. It's so good. Eric and I were talking about how, what a fucking relief it was. We left, we're driving away and I'm like, how good was that hot dog? And he's like, I know. And I was like, thank fucking God. Can you imagine if we went there and the guy was super nice and just lovely and then the
Starting point is 00:48:38 food was shitty or the place sucked? And then we had to be like, no, we love it. And then we had to like lukewarm recommend it to people. And then we had to like lukewarm recommended to people or feel weird about recommending to people. You know what I mean? But none of that was the case because it was genuinely the best hot dog I've had in months. And the place is actually very well appointed.
Starting point is 00:48:57 It's got a real good, it's got like wooden walls on the inside. It feels very sports bar-esque. It's very, Eric and I were talking about it. We had been wanting to find a place, like a hangout place that's like our place, to go just like real quick for a bite or for a couple of sodas or whatever, happy hour.
Starting point is 00:49:14 And so we had identified this place down the road called Frazier's Long and Low, that's kind of like a tattoo-y bar that has hot dogs and chili dogs and all the stuff we like to eat. So we went there to test it out like a tattoo bar that has hot dogs and chili dogs and all the stuff we like to eat. So we went there to test it out and both decided that the vibes were dog shit
Starting point is 00:49:31 and the service was terrible. And we were really bummed because it had a lot of potential. This place feels like the best version of that place. And I think that like, even if it had nothing to do with regulation, I would be recommending everybody go to it. Yeah, it was just so cool.
Starting point is 00:49:48 It was such a great spot. Can't recommend it enough. If you're in Austin, make a trip out there, go there and then go to King Bee because I think King Bee is like the only other bar in that area at this point. But Nunya is like, dude, what a cool spot. I got, I shared that hot dog,
Starting point is 00:50:06 I just posted it on my Instagram yesterday. I got so many people messaging me yesterday going, dude, I love that place. And it's like, oh wow, this is like, this bar, this bar might make it, which is awesome. That's all I'm hoping for is they do really, really well. Cause it's a, man, what a cool, cool, cool spot. I really, really enjoyed it. That's awesome.
Starting point is 00:50:25 It looked delicious. The hot dog looked phenomenal. So happy that it turned out as well as it did and wished them nothing but the best. I can't imagine how difficult it is running a bar. I know how difficult it is to run a podcast business. I imagine it's not harder than that. Absolutely. Breaking news, McDonald's international menu items are vanishing. McPizza bites missing in Italy. Big Rosti stolen from Germany.
Starting point is 00:50:54 Teriyaki chicken sandwich disappears in Japan. An Abysscoth McFlurry blackout in Belgium. Uh oh, it's just in. We can now confirm the stolen favorites have resurfaced at McDonald's, Canada, the international menu heist. Try them all while you can for a limited time in participating McDonald's and Canada. Speaking of like positive fan things, and I'm going to I'm going to group this into a broader subject
Starting point is 00:51:24 of, you know, as the mayor of what is it? What does name my town again? Goof Town, Goof Town. Thank you. Goof World Mayor Goof World. All about accountability. I was wrong. I was wrong about a few things and I want to call them out. I was. I was incorrect. The first thing I was wrong about was the bit barrel,
Starting point is 00:51:47 because when it was brought up, I tried to make an argument that I didn't see the value in it because I don't remember the things I don't know that I'm missing. And within like a day, we had three different conversations where it was things that I forgot about. And I didn't articulate to you guys, but I immediately internally was like, oh, this more than validates the barrel. Tongue sleeves. What the fuck is that? I don't that that was the thing we talked about.
Starting point is 00:52:12 Get in the barrel. I'm all in on the barrel. Very excited about it. We have it now. Yeah. Speaking of the barrel, there it is. I put Jeff in the barrel. For those that can't see the image, just imagine like the barrel that they use to melt bodies and breaking bad. We have one of those, but it's for bits. Yeah, it's a full barrel. It took me and Jeff a while to pry the top off of it.
Starting point is 00:52:37 Just before Jeff got there to help me pry the top off of it, I was hanging out at the regulation house and then Andrew activated and just started like playing with a baseball by himself. Well, so you guys post in the slack that you're going to group up at the office and then go check out the bar. And I thought, oh, that's like maybe 30, 40 minutes roughly before you guys are supposed to meet up there. Maybe I'll pop in. Maybe they got there early. I can just be like, hey. And so I activated.
Starting point is 00:53:07 I went down the hall. I turned on the speaker, like the mic thing that the thing has. And I went full volume. Didn't hear a thing. I was like, oh, I guess nobody's here. Oh, there's a baseball on the floor. I'm just going to play with this baseball for a while. As I'm lining up for the baseball, Eric steps past it and it scared the shit out of me
Starting point is 00:53:26 cause I didn't hear him and I didn't know anyone was there. And then Eric stretched out on the couch, looked at me and just said, come on. As he saw me move. It's Andrew trying to hit a baseball with the robot. We were playing catch father son style. It was really, it was pretty, it was pretty good. It was pretty cool. Having, having that spot and just being it. I'm like, I'm hanging out on Tik TOK waiting for Jeff. And Andrew's just all around this
Starting point is 00:53:59 fucking spot. It's so funny. I love being in that house. I can't wait for August, but we can all get together again. I love the future and that a guy on Vancouver Island could just be like, hold on, I'm going to go and play with my American ball. I like that a robot from Canada and a dude from San Diego can be roommates in Austin, Texas. Exactly. Exactly what it was. It was so crazy. We're playing baseball. Do you think we should get a second Andrew robot and give him an outside world? Well, that's and we'll see.
Starting point is 00:54:31 I didn't. I felt like a little bit too much of an ass, but there was part of me that was like, take me to the bar with you. Yeah, I don't even need to be activated. Just bring me. We think we should give you like a GPS connected robot or stick
Starting point is 00:54:42 a thumb on the side and we can see how far across the US you can make it hitchhiking We know they did that it got the robot got to Philadelphia and then the citizens beat it to death with bats Yeah, didn't they like club it to pieces? Yeah, I was brutal. I don't see that happen to Andrew. Hey Andrew I'm seeing in the slack. You're on Gavin's side. You say you have that in your notes for this Boy that's part of boy. That's part of being wrong. I had my life flashed before my eyes because there is a red post.
Starting point is 00:55:13 There's a red post about how there was a fan on Adam Savage's YouTube channel, and they're wearing a regulation shirt. Hell, yeah, they were. Yeah, they were. Matt Wichel was wearing it. And I thought, oh, wow, that's amazing. Gavin's been on this show. Gavin terrible at promoting anything that he's part of. Here's this person unaffiliated with us that is, I believe, done more
Starting point is 00:55:37 promotion for regulation than I've seen Gavin. And so I immediately was like, I could call him out on it. And it could be like a funny thing. And so I I looked it up. Make sure I got the info of the person. Thank you, Eric, for posting an image of it. I then Googled Gavin Gavin Adam Savage tested or whatever.
Starting point is 00:55:58 And the first thing that popped up was this. And I was like, perfect. That isn't a shirt about anything. Hell is hanging out, not promoting. Did I was like, perfect. That isn't a shirt about anything. Hell, yeah. Hanging out, not promoting. Did a little bit of scrolling. And like the third thumbnail is this in which Gavin is wearing a sloppy Joe shirt, which in my opinion absolutely counts.
Starting point is 00:56:17 Yeah. But if that wasn't the thumbnail, I would have went full silo and it would I would have been completely wrong and it would have turned against me instantly. So I'm very thankful for that thumbnail. I avoided complete disaster as soon as I saw that thumbnail. I was like, oh, I could I know the future. I go on the attack jokingly against Gavin about this.
Starting point is 00:56:39 They the community immediately realizes how wrong I am. I have no defense against it. Like it just it blows up in my face entirely. Much like Gavin tried to play an audio clip earlier in this episode. It would have been disastrous. But thankfully, we avoided that because of the thumbnail. So shout out to whoever made that thumbnail. Really appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:57:01 I feel like I just I find it weird to promote my stuff on other people's channels. That's why you're there. What the fuck are you talking about? That's the entire point of you being there. What do you think that's the exchange about? The point of you being there is the value to you is you get to promote the things that you're doing and the value to them is you're helping them make content on their right. Right.
Starting point is 00:57:24 Yeah, that's the handshake. You're helping them make content on their right. Right. Yeah. That's the handshake You're helping them by making your audience aware of it. Wait, you think I'm going on Adam Savage's channel to promote me Oh, I think that's part of the exchange I think if you're going on anything, there's sort of an unspoken handshake agreement of like I am coming here to make the thing That you want and I'm assisting you in that And I just like him. I want to tag out. Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that. But you act as though like you're somehow being a dick in promoting the thing that you want. And I think that that is like a social standard that is completely acceptable.
Starting point is 00:57:56 Well, here's what will annoy you then. Here's what will annoy you. The shirt I'm wearing next to Adam Savage, I'm promoting a different YouTube channel. Yeah, of course. And look at the picture. Dan is wearing a slow mo guy shirt. But that's on our channel. With Adam, what we're saying is that if Dan were to go on to Adam Savage's thing and he's wearing that shirt, it's promoting you. That's what this whole point is. Dan gets it. Dan gets it.
Starting point is 00:58:22 That's unfortunate to have to say that sentence. Yeah, I'm not happy about it either. I do like that guy's auto-BC shirt though. Oh, it's a great auto-BC shirt. Great hat. Why are you against promoting this podcast? I don't think it's the podcast. I think he's just against all promotion
Starting point is 00:58:39 for stuff in general. I'm just not doing stuff for promotion. I don't know, he went on the Australian TV show. He went on the Australian. He went on the Australian TV show to promote slow mo guys. He's doing a pretty job of promoting somebody else's YouTube channel and that shirt in the middle. That's all I'm saying. Once again, like why, like you just have, it seems like you have a reluctance to promote this show. I'm on Gavin's side. They brought him on to promote himself and I think that is the difference for him. I think this is a very weird social Anxiety thing for Gavin in almost every slow-mo video Dan's promoting slow-mo, and I'm promoting roosterteeth
Starting point is 00:59:13 Why would you promote roosterteeth? It's gone. I don't mean now I don't care about that. Fool? I feel like that also is contrary to the point. Jeff didn't have a problem with it back then. No, no, Jeff, Gavin, you don't need, it's your video. The fact that if anyone's there, they're aware of the thing. Yep. The point is that you're going to a different person's audience and then directing them
Starting point is 00:59:41 to the things that you're part of beyond what you're doing. It doesn't matter what shirts you're wearing in your own content. I'll give you an example. I'll give you an example. Over the weekend, last weekend, it was Home Brew Austin, which is like the fan run RTX, like post RTX equivalent. And they had a day where they had a bunch
Starting point is 00:59:59 of different podcasts. They had like Good Morning from Hell and 100% Eat and the Michael Jordan podcast and the Clutch My my pearls podcast was there I had No representation as a business at that show But I went to do the to intro the club They had the pearls girls asked me to intro them and so I went and I thought what should I wear in front of an audience of?
Starting point is 01:00:23 And so I went and I thought, what should I wear in front of an audience of podcast fans? Oh, I know, I'll promote my thing. So I wore a regulation shirt when I introed them. Not a big deal, not gonna win anybody over. Probably most of the people in the audience knew about regulation, maybe one or two didn't, but it just seems like a good practice when I'm up there helping other people out to promote my own thing in whatever subtle way I can
Starting point is 01:00:48 Does that make sense? Yeah, I think it all makes sense I just hope that's what I wanted to get to the heart of where I'm not even saying Gavin like You're doing a wrong thing. I just think it's such a funny weird social Anxiety point for you of like I don't like, I don't want to promote my thing. I'm on their thing. Yeah, I don't. But that's the whole point for you. Well, no, just that's the.
Starting point is 01:01:16 Well, it would be the whole point for him if you wouldn't promote any of this. What is that, Drew? What chat is Andrew on promoted stuff? Where are those videos? He doesn't have the opportunities that you have to do it. What was that drew what shadows Andrew on promoted stuff? Doesn't have the opportunities that you have to do it when I'm on other shows I'm promoting this On this one he made us a hundred percent eight when the first 90 seconds of every podcast nobody minds we let them do it Thank you for saying it twice that helps Ever should go check out clutch my pearls also that live episode Yeah, that was probably that was probably the best podcast that Oh, no offense 100% or good morning from hell, but those girls
Starting point is 01:01:51 They were so good it was you guys were so mid compared to them Yeah, I totally agree based on what Gavin is saying I also I just want to take a moment to apologize for putting all of my focus and energy Into the business that he's a co-owner of I am really sorry that I'm not focused on trying to go on other people's stuff. I apologize. Apparently promotion. If you want, I can adjust my focus to something else, but I, I as a co-business owner with you think it's probably a good idea for me to put all my energy into the business. I don't know. I thought at some point you were gonna be my agent for a little while and I've I've not really seen any office
Starting point is 01:02:29 Come in. I'm still looking. Okay. I'm still looking you know, but listen People have been on vacation for like a month. So Gotta focus in a little bit gotta lock in I Can't wait to see how the audience responds to this latest are you? What side they're gonna come down on but I got they they're usually Gavin sympathetic so I imagine that I'll be on his side In some way. Yeah, so you think every prints I make elsewhere I should wear Regulation much I think you should wear slow-mo merch or regular. I just think you should promote in general
Starting point is 01:03:04 I don't think it's about regulation. That was to me the core of it. I was going to bust your balls a bit because we own the regulation business together. But I understand that it is a broader thing for you. I just think it's interesting. I know. It was just one of your many businesses. So we can't expect to have all of the focus, but we just want to be in the mix. I just think it's a rare social anxiety thing. And somebody who deals with like anxieties, I completely get it. And it's more I just wanted to highlight. I think it's funny that that's one for you. I'm going to say this.
Starting point is 01:03:34 Be careful what you wish for. I don't know what that means. Oh, be careful. He's going to wear a t-shirt around Adam Savage. I'll show you. Uh. Uh. Uh. Uh. Uh. Uh. Uh.
Starting point is 01:03:48 Uh. Uh. Uh. Uh. Uh. Uh. Uh. Uh.
Starting point is 01:03:55 Uh. Uh. Uh. Uh. Uh. Uh. Uh. Uh.
Starting point is 01:04:01 Uh. Uh. Uh. Uh. Uh. Uh. Uh. Uh. Uh. in my entire life. I'll give you 50 bucks if you could remember a week from now that you said any of that. I hope he does this because I want to see the threat fulfilled. I want to see it. I'm excited. He's going to be he's going to be on a plane to somewhere in the world.
Starting point is 01:04:15 And like, I don't know, four days going, what was I supposed to remember? Nah, it probably wasn't important. I think I'm going to threaten someone once per year. And this is this is 20, 25 threat. I'm going to threaten someone once per year. And this is this is 2025 threat. I'm going to follow through on this threat. I like that a lot. OK, OK. I'm just going to write down Gavin's 2025 threat.
Starting point is 01:04:35 You got it, man. Just to be clear, who are you threatening in this? All of us. All of us. Is it Andrew? The show? Is it your business? I would say everyone except Nick.
Starting point is 01:04:47 What? Everyone except Nick? Nick as well. Alright, so Eric hates everybody but Andrew. Gavin's threatening everybody but Nick. This is getting weird. We need to troll this out. I don't think I should be part of the threatening list.
Starting point is 01:05:00 I'm on your side in this. I very clearly stated that I get it's an anxiety point. And I just think it's a funny. We're all on his side. We just we're just trying to help him develop best practices to be a human being. I don't even care about him developing best practices. I just wanted to call it that. I think it's a funny quirk. As somebody who has many of them, he says that he does. He does care. I care deeply.
Starting point is 01:05:22 You know what? You're all going to regret this. He does care. I care deeply. You know what? You're all going to regret this. I'm going to go take my shirt off. I'm doing a reverse protest. Let me. No, no pants, no shirt. Andrew's ready to go. I'm ready to go. I'm actually excited for like the Gavin threat because I don't I don't think I've ever had like a real clashing with Gavin. Like we're antagonistic on the show, but it's all like
Starting point is 01:05:51 playful. None of it is real. I would say it's still, this is still going to be pretty playful. I'm excited for that. I'm not coming after your family or anything. That's the thing. Like, but I would have laughed if you did. It's like either way, either extreme, I'm all for in this context. You get one like equalizer bullet per year and this is your equalizer thing. Gavin's over here in the corner counting. Nine seconds. Nick, you're already dead. You don't even know it yet.
Starting point is 01:06:26 You're two inches too close to me. Oh no! Oh god damn, that was funny. Let me ask you guys a question. Change the subject a little bit, because I know we're about to have to wrap up. And this is something that popped into my head yesterday. Do you think you could fart so hard
Starting point is 01:06:41 that it ripped your pants? Oh no, I don't. But I love the thought. I bet you, I think you could. I think if your pants were like old enough and threadbare enough and you had like a real, like one where you really had to flex and push, I wonder if you could rip,
Starting point is 01:06:59 I wonder if it's happened before. That's kind of why I wanted to bring it up because I feel like it's happened, but if you Google it, you don't get a lot of results. So I was kind of wanting to bring it to the audience at large. Have you ever farted so hard that you ripped your pants? Because I'm looking for confirmation that this could happen. What if we start from make like a solenoid pow- like an air cannon, blow a hole in some jeans and work backwards from how many PSI we need to do that and see if that's possible
Starting point is 01:07:25 for a fart. Do you think we could get Adam Savage to design it for us and we could all wear our t-shirts? That's you know, I like your more scientific approach, Gavin, because my thought was immediately to like cut a pair of pants in half and then have them hanging from the ceiling and have them just be fart pants that you fart into and see how many farts it takes to get to the other side. But why are they on the ceiling and have them just be fart pants that you fart into and see how many farts it takes to get to the other side. But why are they on the ceiling? Cause they need to be like held upwards.
Starting point is 01:07:51 They need to be waist height. Like they need, they don't need to be on the ceiling. They could be, as long as they're just floating in some held up. They need to be like you're wearing them with nobody in them. So they just need to be held up in some way. They don't need to be on the ceiling.
Starting point is 01:08:06 That's just how I imagined it. I need a diagram. OK, I'll draw you one right now. OK, let me go into this. So we're talking like. Let me I like this scientific approach, too, because my thought was just to fart max every day and then just try to blast into the same pair of shorts or something. Now to be clear, Jeff, you mean that like,
Starting point is 01:08:31 your farts fully caused the damage, not like a last straw situation where like, wear and tear has weakened them to the point where a fart could finish it? I mean, I think it's just if a fart could finish it, yeah. I mean, just a fart that has, I don't, whatever condition the shorts or the pants are in ahead of time just like that the the blast of a fart could rip Fabric, I don't think even if there was one or disintegrate that red at the pot
Starting point is 01:08:55 Interesting. I don't know. Maybe it was like dry rot, you know, it's like Grass cutting shorts that stay outside all the time or something Just so brittle. Yeah, just super brittle Okay, one day. Well. Yeah drawing this out for you I Need a canvas I need a canvas ready to go in case of drawing Yeah, you just open paint, and then it's a blank thing instead of having to grab an image That's already on your insane desktop Okay, so I just put paint into my phone
Starting point is 01:09:32 Why are you doing it on your what why once maybe finger dexterity? Oh, yeah, I Think the point of my art is that it's all finger-based It was a finger based. it's a finger-based. Andrew's a finger-based artist. Absolutely. Okay, here we go. I got it. Paintbrush.
Starting point is 01:09:52 Go blue for the pants. You got these, right? And that's your pants and they're half pants. We need just like a shared joinable canvas that we can just stream. Oh yeah. That exists in Discord. It does? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:11 We should use that tool. How do you use that? It's like an app or something within Discord. I don't know. You gotta get Nitro. Are you able to use it with your fingers since that seems to be the crucial part for what you're doing here? Well, my laptop is a touchpad keyboard mouse. So it's essentially the same
Starting point is 01:10:31 So yeah, so how was I wrong about the first thing? I fucking said you weren't at all. Okay July Eric right now. Yeah, but he likes me Boy he's walking a thin line. Here we go Here's the the image. Okay, so the black is the roof He's on the charcuterie image This has to be the Jeff, this has to be the thumbnail Okay It's not all that time Just drawing the thing in the top right
Starting point is 01:11:10 I love that he has one canvas for every image he's ever drawn It's the pants are held up by like some cords from the ceiling So Jeff can just turn into them and fart and then go about his day Yeah, there you go easy But they don't need to be hung up like that. That's just what I imagine I mean there are other ways you could do that. It looks like a flaccid dick sticking through a table peeing. Oh It looks like a hole from above Hole and a dick came out and had to we
Starting point is 01:11:43 He's like a black hole and a dick came out and had to weave Has there ever been a ceiling glory hole you gotta jump up to get at it Guy on the second floor is having a lay down You just walk it on the guy in a room upstairs, and he's just facedown on the floor He's like don't worry about it Hey, what's going on with Evan? It looks like like he's taking a nap but he's got a big smile that would be the most dangerous glory hole ever you can just grab onto that thing and pull oh god suck him it'd be like when they suck the alien out of the plane at the end of that uh alien sleeper it's got like the carnival ride thing where you have to be a certain height to be able to use it from the bottom.
Starting point is 01:12:27 Must be must be this long to use. But it's not a news. Just put like a smoke detector over it or something. Christ. Oh God. We have to wrap up. We have to end this. You guys have a whole month to not be here.
Starting point is 01:12:42 So you got to get started on it. Before we end, Andrew, how do seasons work? It's because of the north and south pole and the turn of it. And as things rotate, it's seasons and all that. It's at an angle. It's not I.O. interactive. It's sideways interactive. It's italics. It's italics interactive. ways interactive. It's italics. It's italics interactive. Well, and it's just the sun. It's the sun's proximity or like how exposed certain places are to the sun. I've just noticed
Starting point is 01:13:14 your charcuterie image has a little chunk missing out of the left side at the bottom. Yeah, it's always been. How'd you do that? I think it was a photo. I think this originally was when I removed the eyes on Matthew McConaughey maybe or Leonardo DiCaprio. I think it's from that. It's not a white canvas. It's a photo of a piece of no, I think I painted the photo white and then that became the canvas. And then you just on top of it Small enough doesn't matter you know how Archaeologists go to a location and they dig and they find layers of civilizations on top of each other like you go to Greece There's like seven thousand
Starting point is 01:14:02 Compressed could you imagine like digital? Seven thousand years of civilization compressed. Could you imagine like digital archaeologists someday discovering Andrew images and finding out there's paintings under the paintings? To remove the layers. At some point you get to Leonardo DiCaprio with no eyes. I don't think it's God. Oh Christ. We should probably wrap up here though. Oh, Christ. We should probably wrap up here, though. Oh, that was fun, though. This was a good one.
