Hello and welcome to another episode of the Regulation Podcast. This is number 85. My name is Jeff Ramsey with me. As always, Nick Schwartz, Eric Madur, Andrew Panton, Gavin Free. Hello. Hello. Would it be easier for a lemon to go in or out of your butt? If you shove the lemon up your butt, I think always out.

Yeah, out probably. I think in. I think you're crazy. I think in. What? I think you have more control. You're able to push. I just don't trust the out.

Well, you could use your. hands. Yeah, exactly. But out, you're relying on entirely on internal strength. Your three anus is Gavin's but your body pushes stuff out of your butt all day long naturally. It's true. It knows

how to do it. It's got sense memory. But a lemon's gonna, it can't, oh, I surely can't do a lemon. I feel like lemon has gripage. I also worry that I won't be able to do it when I want to. Like I agree eventually, Jeff, that will happen. But

Oh, I see. It could take a while. Yeah. Also, you hear stories of people get to think stuck in their butt all the time. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, nothing if I get stuck out of your butt. You just don't, nobody goes to the hospital because they can't put something in their butt. They just give up at home, you know? Doctor, doctor. These lemons may get stuck in my butt. do something.

I really need to put this lemon in my butt, but I can't get it in. It's stuck out. Stuck out is such weird phrasing. I'd be worried about if it got stuck halfway. Everything I own is stuck out of my butt. Yeah. Probably.

Some of the food, maybe. Well, I mean, you got to, but in order for it to get stuck out of your butt, you have to try to get it in. You can't just say, like, This is stuck out of my butt. Yeah, how do you know it's stuck out? Yeah, you haven't even tried.

It might go in effortlessly. There's all kinds of stuff in your house right now. You could easily put in your butt. That's right. It's out right now, not stuck. Yeah, it's just out. How fast would you have to throw a lubed carrot to get it to go in? Oh, I just don't think you could, could you?

Like a dot. That's interesting. If it was straight on enough, it would definitely go in. It's just the damage. I'd be worried about the damage. Oh, it's gonna hurt a little bit But I think it's very smooth and looped So it's like been shaved down

A little bit So does all the bumpy carrot ends That makes it just more aerodynamic That just makes it more dangerous I think that makes it better You want it to be as smooth And even as possible When going in I would think

My worry is where it stops Is really the concern And your butt No I think it keeps going at the speed in which it would require to enter. So you're afraid it would come out your mouth. Yeah, like, I'm, it's not going to reach the mouth, but it's going to penetrate, like,

it's going to hit something somewhere, and that's what I'm worried about. It's going to hit the back hole. I don't think you're having, I don't think you're going to have to shoot it. It's not like a CO2 pistol. I don't think you're able to shoot it that hard. Yeah, I think if you were,

if you were lying down below a balcony with your knees, like up by your ears, I think that, that alone would let it go in. yeah like that or even if you just had like a big rubber band on a contraption you know and you could just like pull it back yeah it needs to be a controlled mechanism because i was initially imagining it getting fired out of like a gun like a carrot gun i think you could just drop it in no way from how far three stories i think that's too far i think you're going to hurt yourself three stories what's terminal velocity of a carrot the only scenario in which I like could see this working and also I wouldn't be worried about damage long term would be sitting at the top of one of those fair things or you hit the hammer and it goes up and you're trying to ring the bell oh yeah because I feel like that'd be enough

forced to have entry but also there's a limit to how far what if you put it at the top of a playground slide and then you were at the bottom and you lose the slide up really we can't do this set of playground. Jeff, I think you'd be going to prison if you did that. I mean, you get, you know, we take, we buy the slide from a third party. We do it in a control of the bar. Buy the slide. There's got to be a slide manufacturer company that sells slides.

No, I think we should try to buy the slide at the park. Yeah, just take it with us. Wait around for them to see him upgrade in the park and be like, what are you going to do with that slide over there? You guys got plans on that slide? Not even upgrading. I think that's such a. villainous move to buy the playground of the local area and just strip it down so they just

don't have a slide. Just take the fun toys way. Yeah, just slowly piece by piece like overpay the city for you. Those swings are mine now. You don't got swings now. For some reason, I just imagine Jeff walking around a playground offering kids money just asking like how much for the slide. No, no, no, don't imagine that. Stop. Let's stop. Hey son, I have this carrot, sir. You need to come with us. It starts as this amazing park with slides and swings. They might want to help me with an experiment?

I'm a scientist. Oh, Gavin, get your coat. Get your coat. I'm here with the slow-bow guy. I don't want to be anyone near this playground. Andrew, why were you asking about the lemon in the butt? I was just it was Ark Raiders. I was thinking about

Because we talk about there's the safe space that you put it in your butt and lemons are one of the thing. So it was a conversation that I was having some friends. I could definitely get the olives in my butt. Olives, absolutely. The apricot I think would just be mushy.

I don't think that works. But lemons have the integrity and it seems split. So I was curious what you guys thought. I didn't expect to get a playgrounds but I do like the idea of buying out a playground. I want a parent to see a playground on Google

earth or like on maps like this awesome playground and then they look up from their phone and it's just one of those things you can sit on and go back and forth on like that's the only thing left just one. It's an empty playground but one no like the the like horse type

thing where you sit on it and you like push back and forth yeah like a rock and think if I was going to make a playground unfun by being an evil dude I wouldn't I wouldn't take a lot of the stuff away as much as I would take some like I would make a seesaw just a sea you just have one side of it

Figure out how to have fun with that you little asshole This feels I don't know how this wasn't a plot Of a 90s Nickelodeon movie Of like the evil playground designer Speaking Speaking of having fun

I I created a game Because I was inspired by Andrew Oh wow, okay It's a really interesting Easy little game but I want to play with you sometime today in the episode, if you don't mind.

Please. It's just like a match game, kind of like, Andrew had this really cool game for Guess Who, the called Guess Who, and I was just thinking about it. And then I was also thinking about recently, not even recently. This was maybe a year ago.

We were talking about which animal you would trust to sell you a sub. And to me, I think it's a gorilla, right? The animal that comes to mind most when we were talking about like octopus selling sushi. That got me thinking, what are the most used mascots, like

animals as mascots across sports and stuff? Because I drove by specs the other day, and they have like a fucking rabbit, like a it makes no sense, but they have like a Bugs Bunny at the liquor store. And that got me thinking like, oh yeah, like Oregon has ducks that are essentially Donald Duck, and there's

like 4,000 different bulldogs in college football teams. So I was trying to determine what animals have been used the most as mascots across all entertainment properties. I wasn't able to narrow that down, but I was able to, on mascot database.com, which is a real thing,

I was able to look at a list of most named teams of all time, which pretty much corresponds with animals. And so I took the top five most named sports teams of all time and jumbled it up, and I'm going to let you guys try to figure out what goes where. Does that make sense? Yeah. Yeah.

Okay. I have... No, it doesn't for... Clearly doesn't for Gavin. But that's okay. So here, I'll share the screen. Okay. And this is what we have.

This is all time. This isn't current teams. These are the top five most named sport teams of all times. We have the bulldogs, the wild cats, the tigers, the Eagles, and the Panthers. You guys just have to tell me what goes. where. Okay. Jeff is playing this game and I think he, like, he's

excited that Bulldogs is on here. Couldn't care less. Wow. Have you told your dog that? Yeah, I tell him that all the time. He knows. Eagles is one. Eagles, Eagles has to be one. I think Eagles has to be one. So you guys think Eagles is number one. Let's, let's just talk

through some of these. Okay. Okay. Andrew, Andrew says Eagles is not number one. All right, let's talk it through. Right, got it, yeah. We got the Philadelphia Eagles. Uh-huh. Yeah. What's another eagle?

Every high school. Every high school. Okay, okay. You know what? As a non-American, got it. We're also going across all sports, across all time. So it might be something where, like, a Panther isn't a big deal now, but 50 years ago, everybody was Panthers, and you have to factor that in.

It's the Florida Panther. Yeah, but it's so it's all teams, all levels? Yeah. What do you think the top two are? Because I think it's probably Eagles and why. Wildcats. I would have said Wildcats. Yeah, Wildcats feels very top of this list.

Interesting. Yeah, I wouldn't. You just sold me on Eagles. Okay, cool. I would put Eagles one. I got some Wildcats for you, too. Do you guys want to lock Eagles in as one? Yeah, sure.

I feel good about that. Yeah. Let's see. That's a match. That's a match, boys. Oh, hell, yeah. Okay. I don't know about Wildcats, too.

you do or you don't I don't feel good about it as two I feel like tigers is more you think tigers is two I would put tigers at four you put tigers at four yeah Bulldogs three I will say the nice

the nice part about this is I made this game like four hours ago and I don't remember what's what so it's new I completely have no idea from I knew one I don't know two through five I think Panthers is probably five or four

Okay. I think five. We can put Panthers at five. I'm fine with that. Do you guys want to go straight from one to five? Go Panthers five, knock it out, feeling good. Cut off the top and the tail? Oh, I'm sorry.

That was incorrect. Wow. Wow. Okay. Panthers is not number five. You have one strike. You get three strikes you lose. Oh, wow.

Invented in this game. Okay. Well, you guys seem pretty confident in Wildcats. Wildcats feels like two to me. I agree. Let's do it. No way! And now we're both equally in the strike zone.

But now, but that's okay, because now we go to get, right, well, thank you. Now we go to a different tab. Jeff, checking out, checking out some IQs. We got to IQs we're dealing with over there, though. We got other cool stuff going on over there at Puzzle.org? What else we, what else we're clicking on, bud? Did you get bored? Just checking.

Did you get bored with your own games? No, no, no, no. way worse than that. I was looking at the answer key. I was trying to look. Yeah. I was befuddled that we were just looking at a different tab I couldn't take in any information. I was just like

I'm glad you didn't because I was thinking to myself Wildcats, where was that? I should check. I forgot for you guys got all right, hey, how about this? How about this? You guys have two strikes I have one. That's fair. I'll give myself a strike. I deserve that. Well, I don't typically run these games. This is an Andrew thing. Well, if me and Nick

are we both struck out and then Andrew struck out also I think it's only fair for Gavin who's number two I mean we have some data okay Bulldogs is too okay no

three strikes and you are out let's do Tigers too I think it's number two that is correct I think number three is Bulldogs you think so I think so

Three is Bulldogs. Okay. Three is Bulldogs. Four is Wildcats. Or no, no, no. Four is Panthers. Yeah. Four is Panthers.

Wow. Wildcats. Wow. I knew you guys are too high on them wildcats. Now that we've completed the game, I can go over here and look and show you that there were 18132 teams named Eagles. Wow. 1478 tigers, 1,200 Bulldogs, 1,200 Panthers and 1,100 wildcats across all history. Look at 53.

That didn't even count the golden eagles. That's true. It doesn't even count the golden eagles. Yeah. Too many cowboys. How about the, what's number 16? Number 16 is the Vikings. Okay, okay.

What's the bottom of the list? What's the least? Number 100 is the maroons. Oh, yeah, but yeah, but that's 100. Go to last, bud. Yeah, can you get it all the way to last? It's just going to be a bunch of ones. The apex.

The apex. It's a bunch of ones. Where UFC fights happen. Yeah. The night watch? That is the, the, the, the, Colorado Apex, which is an ultimate

Frisbee team. Ugh. Oh, we got to go to Golden. That's, they're drinking Coors. That's awesome. They're having fun.

Is that how you go back? When they score points, the mountains turn blue. Wait, how did you do that? Do you just right click and click on back? If I don't want to use my left hand. What?

Entries your left. Like, I could go up here and go back, but it's easier just to go like that. Hey, Jeff, don't worry. I'm going to keep my mouth shut on this. I'm nothing to say about this. Isn't that super fast? I don't think I've ever done that before. Whoa, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Don't click, hang on. 5-716. Disco turkeys. Whoa. Who are the disco turkeys? What sport is that? Southern Collegiate Baseball. Wow.

That's a show we should do. You just load up somebody's browser on Discord. You have to just go through all their tabs, see what they have open. I'm trying to figure out who has more open tabs, Andrew or Jeff. Oh, that's a neck-and-neck contest, I bet. I have a lot, though. I have two. My email, regulation email.

I'm not, the two, the two calendars, Slack, then I have our Reddit page, our two YouTube channels, NBA, Boston Celtics. You use the Slack browser? Yeah, yeah. This Tampa House I have to do for this old house. Yeah, that's fine. Mark the Frog told me to look up the original Navy chair. I haven't done it yet, but I have been doing it.

that combines your multivitamin, pre-and-probiotics, superfoods, and antioxidants into one simple green scoop. It's one of the easiest things you can do to support your body every day. I actually have been taking it in the mornings about, I don't know, maybe an hour after I wake up, and it genuinely feels like a great way to start my day. I also, I think even more importantly,

I've been taking the AGZ at night to go to bed. About 90 minutes or so before I think I'm going to go to sleep, I mix it up, and then hopefully I timed it right because at that 90 minutes, whether I'm ready to or not, I get sleepy. It makes going to bed so cozy. And I think this time of year it's more important than ever

to be proactive about supporting your immune health, especially if you're going to be doing any traveling like I'm going to, go into family gatherings, et cetera. I know I feel a little more confident knowing that I've given my immune system a little boost

gifts for new subscribers. Speaking of discovering new things, are you guys on cheese TikTok yet? No. I don't mean by that. Because maybe. I don't know why how I got into it because I don't really like cheese, you know, that much. But I got into this like cheese monger TikTok.

Yeah, yeah. Where these dudes will like throw down a giant wheel of cheese and then tell you why it's important and it's like a thousand years old. And then they cut it open and they give out slices. the people. It's the most engrossing thing I've ever watched and I don't want to try any of the cheese. Couldn't care

less but something about watching those dudes cut the cheese open and talk about how special the cows are on the side of the mountain in Sri Lanka where it came from is so engrossing. I want to be one of those guys so badly because I feel like that also

exists in coffee. There are all these different avenues in which there is the expertise and knowledge of these different things and how they taste different and why they're the way they are and I just don't want to consume any of it. But with cheese, I'm like, maybe I become a bit of a cheese guy because I like the idea of knowing these things, but this guy's the best right here.

Yeah, yeah, I've definitely come across this cheese monger thing. Anyway, highly recommend cheese TikTok if you find your way to it. I'd actually like people to recommend. other types of talks that are similar in the in the food or just not even talks but just like subjects of food in which you can deep dive in the same way because I would love to have one that I care about there are currently no foods that I'm aware of that you can have this type of discourse with right like you want a pizza monger yeah I would love that yeah what about a dog munga

you know what I had the other day my first dog since we stopped the camp delicious so good and I don't want to revisit it but being so dog heavy for that that full year and then taking a break for a few months it was like bumping into an old friend it was maybe the best hot dog I've had it was so good like your dog buds were like reawoken oh they were reawoken and it just it was so delicious and it was just a basic chain restaurant hot dog there's nothing special about it had it countless times but it just felt different. I couldn't agree with you more, man.

I have been, since we're hot, we're hamburger focused, I've been embracing the hamburgers in a big way, you know? And trying to be true to the whole spirit of the thing. But I have hot dogs keep catching my eye out of the, like in the periphery, out of the core of my eye.

And they look, I haven't had one yet since I think the first, I had one like right after we stopped. Yeah. But, I haven't had one since we've been on the hamburgers, but they're looking so fucking delicious and delectable and tasty right now. And I got to thinking about a chili cheese dog the other day.

And it almost hurt how badly I wanted it. I think you should have one. And I'm curious to know if it's like me where it's the greatest thing you've had in a long time. And I have no desire to revisit it. It was very odd. Like it was so good. But I just, I'm not, I need to wait a few more months. I think to get that hot dog high.

in the same way I had it before. That's what it is too. It's a hot dog high. So it's maybe like meeting someone you went to school with and having a real good catch up, but you don't want to see them next week as well. Exactly, yeah. You got what you needed from that experience

and then some time can pass. Yeah, it was like a complete experience, and if you have it again too soon, it'll lessen that experience. Yeah, because then they just become part of your rotation of people you see. And that's no longer special. If I don't see them again for eight months,

and I bump into them again, I'll probably even enjoy that one more than the last time, which I'm excited about. That sounds even better. How do you feel, Gavin? Are you excited to have a hot dog? Well, you were telling me this on text

the other day and how phenomenal this hot dog was. And I think I replied, I could happily never eat a hot dog again for the rest of my life. I just can't believe it. Well, what was your dog count at? You were like five, right?

Five or six? All right, let's no need to be insulting. Oh, was it actually. Ashley five or six? You might be right. I think it was. I think it was five or six. I wasn't trying to take a dig at you.

You didn't eat a lot of hot dogs. It was similar to your Pia account. Yeah. Yeah, they just don't do anything for me. Interesting. I feel like that I'm eating base food. Is there a base food that you get excited about? Is that not what you want?

Like you specifically? Is that not like the thing you fucking strive for? What are you saying? Would you like it more if it was a cute? cube? No, I don't want the freaking food cube. I keep telling you. So mad about it.

I don't want the food cube. I keep saying it. I get what you mean, Gavin. It's like there's nothing special about it. It is a base food, but I enjoy base foods. I'm, for me, I can get excited about a base food. What do you think the most base food is?

hamburger is up there. A sandwich? Yeah, maybe like a one ingredient sandwich. I think peanut butter and jelly sandwich for me is probably as base as a great base food. Yeah. Maybe like a chicken soup or something. If we were going to do a count, Gavin,

that you would feel you would have the highest numbers of at the end of, because we've done hot dogs, we've done burgers. What would that food be? Ooh. I probably eat more like, Chicken Meals. Is there a promo code you want to put in right now?

Do some promotion for this podcast? No. It's not an ad read. I mean, if they're sponsoring this episode, sure. Yeah, right. It's code slow-mo. We all know. I like this man is like, it's not an ad read.

and I just ask what's the thing he consumes the most and he states the brand and the type of meal. You know earlier how like when you and I were talking about hot dogs and I was like, man, I love a Hebrew national hot dog. No, my point is that you've already given them the promo at the point in which I'm saying, do you have a code? That's where it would have benefited us. You cut it off at the point in which we would make from your promo.

Well, just make it, Nick, make it a bleep. My favorite McDonald's event, the bleep meal. I get all those figures. So it would just be chicken, and I would be fine with that. Oh, I'm also like a big, I'm a big soup guy if I'm in a hurry. Like a tomato soup or something. That's so funny. You listed the food I eat the most and then a thing I never eat at all.

So it would be, I'm either fighting for first with you on this leg. or I'm not on the board. So you just, specifically that flavor or you just never go for a soup? Never soup. What's your like cozy dog shit day outside meal? You know what? Kind of scratches that edge for me.

Like a butter chicken is the most soup adjacent thing. I think I enjoy. Factor butter chicken? Yeah, factor. They don't ship to Canada or else. I'm sure it's a great problem. No, but like It's far as soups go

It's like the butter Like something being drenched In like a sauce type thing It would be butter chicken for me Interesting I just don't like soup I probably haven't had a good one I feel like all of my soup experience

Is like stuff out of a cardboard box Historically I've never been to a restaurant And had a soup Sometimes there's like a soup course Yeah You have never ordered courses. Yeah!

You've never been to a place with like a starter? An appetizer? Yeah. I guess like I've been to places where they just give you bread rolls when you show up. Does that count? So you've never ordered an appetizer? Well no, I've ordered. Like, is soup an appetizer?

No, but an appetizer is a course. Yeah. Oh. Yeah, I guess. Okay. Well, then yeah, I guess I have. But when I think of courses, I think of like, you're buying like a three-course meal or whatever.

But if you ordered an appetizer, a main, and a dessert, that is a three-course meal. But nobody would call it that. Yeah, because it would be four, you would get the check and go home. So it's a classic. That's a great, great final course. I stand by it to this day. Grab and go, baby. I see what you're saying you're not wrong I am technically I guess making my own courses

but I've just never thought about it in those terms to me what other two I'm just getting once I'm getting individuals of each thing does that make sense to me a course if I'm getting a course yeah okay so you know like when you play golf and there's like nine holes or there's 18 in a course you're gonna experience all those things and you're doing that up front in my mind It's the same for eating, where if I'm buying courses, I am investing in an experience that is preset and I'm having different layers of things and they're connected in some way. That's a meal. I just don't, I've never viewed it that way. If I'm ordering like an appetizer, it's like I'm just getting this appetizer.

There's no connectivity. We've done a draft about this. Yeah. And in my mind, when we did that draft, this is like you're paying up front for this experience. Like it's covering all of them. Wait, can we go back and find Andrew's picks now and look at them knowing this knowledge? I think I stated it in the draft that this is like you pay up front because I had like a sea land and air meal and then went to space.

Like it was I themed it because I think of courses as being an experience that like is interconnected in some way. So you did a four meal draft? yeah okay so andrews andrews four courses yeah first facacia yeah second bacon barbecue bacon barbecue wrapped prawn yeah that's the sea yeah third chicken parm with twice baked potato and vegetable medley we're laying that's an a land animal And then, Gavin, do you remember what his fourth course was? Absolutely don't remember of it. Andrew?

Spacecake. We're going to the skies. We're going up. He did go to space. It was because I really wanted fcaccia as then I was on a real kick at that time. So if you went to a restaurant and ordered the Ula separately, you wouldn't consider that courses. But if you paid up front for that, it would be courses.

if somebody said I had a three-course meal I would never assume they meant I ordered an appetizer I then picked a mane of my choice and then I picked the dessert of my choice You just described the three course meal? But we just did that that's what we did We just did it that's what we did No but in my and once again

I'm not saying this is right This is just how I've always interpreted it A course meal is like you pay up front And all them are determined and you're getting all of them where I don't necessarily know when I go to the restaurant that I'm gonna do that

but if I'm getting four courses then I know I'm getting four courses hmm it's like a preset thing as opposed to me just picking Jeff any thoughts on any of this no not nothing as such

because when I hear course meal I think that's like a really fancy like experience thing I would never evaluate any restaurant order as a multiple course meal, although it is. I would say any restaurant that has like a soup course or a salad course or whatever is going to be a pricey steak restaurant. Interesting. I think also as a non-soup person, this is probably just like a thing I don't venture in. I'm not much of an appetizer guy either.

I don't want to wait into supporting Andrew territory here, but I guess when I think of courses, I think of a prefix menu typically. Interesting. All right. And I'm not even saying I'm right. I'm not arguing this point. I just have never thought about it in those terms. Huh.

I'm almost certainly in the minority here on this thought. But I think it is a thing where I'm not always getting appetizers. I'm really excited if they just give me some bread before the meal. That's always great. And I'm not a dessert person. So I guess I'm typically only getting a one-course meal, which I don't think is. Like, can you have a one course meal?

Sure. Well, yeah. Really? Yeah. One thing. Okay. I don't think you really refer to it as a course, though. You just, it's just a meal.

Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I'm kind of on the same page with you. It's like, if someone's talking about the courses, it probably is a fancy place. Sure. Either a fancy place or there's more than one. I feel like course implies at least two. A one course meal would be a hilarious thing to advertise on your menu. It's just a dish.

is a dish in a course the same thing because those are both restaurant terms are all courses dishes but not every dish is a course you could pick a dish and a side and that would still be the same course you know the most excited I've ever been about options is I went to chilies

when I went to Hawaii when I was a kid and they had a chicken strip meal because we don't have chilies here and you got to have corn on the cob and fries. You got two sides. I was so pumped about it. That's a thing you remember? Yeah, well, I was very excited about it.

Is that the thing you remember the most about Hawaii? No, I remember I spent a lot of time in the arcade in Hawaii and I had a lot of fun with the arcade. The arcade and chilies were my real standouts. Also, I got a fish hook in the ear. That was the what? You were really burying the lead, my man. Yeah.

It was We were staying at this hotel And they had a like a kids program And so I was hanging out with this kid's thing And on the last day They took us fishing And so it's just a bunch of kids With fishing rods

Walking around And I took one to the ear Somebody's hook hit me And it was bad time That's the worst Did he weigh you off to? I don't think I was tall enough To be even considered

Capable So There's no point Too small The minimum requirement Yeah, they put me in I've only ever caught one fish in my life And it didn't fit the requirements

And I cried when they threw it back into the sea Oh I retired I retired on top of my game I've also only caught one one fish Do you get to keep it? No, it was The hook

The hook got all stuck through its face And I was really struggling to get it out and then the eye was moving and I was just freaked out and I had to give it to someone That's so gross Yeah it put me off

Ever catching another fish So it wasn't even a one course meal I will say I think fishing is more fun than catching fish Just like Yeah I agree with that

Absolutely Yeah Set on a pier somewhere Just fucking Or in a canoe is great Yeah Fish adjacent

Yeah Fish Adjacent. Hey, speaking to being fish adjacent, I realized the other day it's December, and it's not our, not necessarily our thing, it was the Achievement of a thing, but we did keep it alive,

that fish and jamboree. This would be the time to do it, and obviously we're not going to do it before January, but I think we may have done the fish and jamboree in January last year, too. Yeah. I was wondering if there was any appetite to do it.

If we were going to do it, I was thinking, what if we tried to kill sharks in GTA? Yeah! Oh, hell yeah. Like go fishing for sharks and whales or whatever sea creatures are in GTA because I think they're in there now in multiplayer. Are they?

I think that's fun. I don't think I've ever done that either, so I think that's a fun idea. Yeah, single player, I crushed the little sub into a dolphin, I think. It's about as close as I've coming. I just assume that if there's, like, I got mauled by a cougar the other day in multiplayer, so I assume I should be able to get mauled by a shark just as easily. Maybe that's something we can load up and fuck around. over the end of the year.

Yeah, on the, on the GTA Doomsday Replays video that came out, Andrew's little intro was him getting mauled by some sort of cat. Cougar? A chinkugeter? Yeah. Got in my mix. It has been so fun.

We did the mixed animals draft and seeing the incredible artistry of our community take those concepts and elevate them has been so exciting. There's still post. of people like doing more detailed designs of what we described and every time I see one

I'm just so blown away everybody who's made one of those posts thank you so much they've been so much fun to look at so cool yeah seeing your creativity uh off of our stupidity is really absolutely yeah pretty awesome to experience a complete elevation it's fun seeing talented people take dumb bad ideas and make them cool yeah but I was scrolling back through, I was trying to find an old photo the other day and I was scrolled back through my camera roll. And I guess at some point I'd saved like 50 back to back fan arts of the deer made of wind that we were talking about in Minecraft called the tornado. And all of those interpretations were so funny. I just looked, I just went back and looked through all of them. That's incredible. The tornado is a great name for a tornado deer. I will say also, I wanted to bring this up quickly. we're deep in Advent content at this point

I guess probably over when this came out when does this come out the last day today is the last day Merry Christmas Eve everybody Merry Christmas Eve I saw a lot of people

that got really excited for the earth shaker art So I just wanted to shout out Tobin Lee Who is who I commissioned to do it He's made so much art for us In the past He's done all our ratty boy shirts

Used to do RT stuff with us Two of them Amazing artist Gavin, you familiar with those shirts? Tobin is genuinely one of the coolest and most talented people we've ever worked for sure. He's fantastic. He used to do those hyper-complicated, like, RTX map posters, you know, where he'd make it, everything was like a fun house and there'd be like a million little Easter eggs and things.

Yeah, great. Yeah. So talented. He did such a good job. There are people that thought I commissioned the original artist. of the pinball art to do it. He knocked it out of the park. Luckily, he'd been,

it was his job to draw me for a couple of years there, so. Kind of locked in. Yeah, he's locked in. By the way, Andrew, I know I thanked you a million times personally, but just one of the coolest and most thoughtful gifts

I could have ever imagined receiving and nothing I give you will come close to it. No, it's not about that. The fucking, like, just grand slam of a gift you gave me, man. I cannot thank you in that. I feel like I'm an annoying gift receiver because it genuinely, like, doesn't matter to me, but I get so much joy out of trying to find things for other people.

So it's, like, annoying where somebody tries to return the favor, and it's like, I don't know, whatever, I don't really care, anything, it's fine. Not in a way of, like, I'm dismissive. I'm so appreciative of any gift that anyone would give me. but it's like as far as what do I really want. It's like whatever, whatever works, anything is an unbelievably thoughtful gesture. You, I will say this.

I failed on a gift that I worked on for a couple months, which is you told me in a previous podcast that you can't get a deep dish pizza to Canada. And I took that, I took that as a personal challenge. It's, you're right. You're 100% right. It doesn't work. I've tried a million services.

I've tried a million companies. They do not want those pizzas in your country. man. It's restrictive. Why? What? It's I think probably a shipping rule. It's the same where there are like protections for dairy farmers in Canada. So it's tough to get like butter from other countries here. It's a whole thing. Because that would be a thing that we're talking about cheese as an interest. Like I could

get deep in the butter world. Somebody could convince me that these cows eating this grass in this environment. I could I could go down that rabbit hole so easily. Can this episode be called Deep in the Butterworld? Deep in the Butterworld. I know we sound like lunatics, but if you watch a TikTok from the Beverly Hills cheese shop, you will be a convert. I fucking promise you.

And it's the perfect amount of time for that content. Like, I don't, if they made that a TV show that was 30 minutes long. Oh, no. Yeah, it's like 45 seconds to a minute and 10 seconds. You get everything you need out of it, in and out. It would be interesting to list all the foods and the amount of time you want to spend listening about them. Oh.

Like, your determining cheese is like 45 to a minute, maybe. What do you think, Gavin, what food would you listen to the longest? Oh, man. What food do I know shit all about? Churros? Boy, I was not... Whoa. That made my head spin.

I could do five minutes of churos, I think. I think the most interested I've ever... heard Gavin be about food when I've talked to him about food I'm blanking his name a Seamus I think it's Seamus Blackley made bread

using like tools and the way that they made the original bread like Egyptian style bread like they went into the pottery and were able to cultivate like stuff from it to like make an accurate representation and then went through the process

of what they would have went through so you could taste what the first bread tasted like. You haven't seemed pretty into that at that time. Yeah. Those YouTube channels are really cool. I don't know if it's the same one, but I got the lemonade recipe from one of those like historical food YouTube channels.

Those are pretty cool. You know what? That is my cheese. I get really excited. It's the only thing I think I like about summer is companies put out their new lemonade. I get really into that. I get very excited to try all the lemonade.

Maybe that's a, maybe that's a name for an episode. Lemonades is my cheese. Have you polished off all those creolas yet? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All gone. Long gone. What was the best color? Oh, I really like the green apple.

I'm a big fan of the green apple. They just added, I was doing this last night, and I thought Gavin would never do this. This would be fucking insane to Gavin. I love that you think of me when it comes to it. I do. Not having enjoyment about something. Well, no, no, no, it's just the specifics

and you're gonna be on my, you're gonna be like, yeah, you're right. They added a new grocery store to, like, Uber Eats, and I like just seeing, like, what stock places have that way. It's just, like, an easy way to use the UI. I looked at every single drink that they listed. It was, like, over a thousand drinks, and I just spent, like, 15 minutes scrolling every drink to evaluate and be like, oh, is this new?

Have I tried this? I'm just kind of building a cart that I, Not necessarily that even order just so I could look at it, be like, oh, what are they saying they have that I haven't tried before? Like Dream Drink Cut? Yeah, I guess Dream Drink Kurt,

but just even, it's just like mundane things. It's like, oh, I haven't tried that lemonade. Never heard of that brand. Let's put that in the mix. So, you know, there has to be, there has to be a person on Earth who has tried, alive right now, who has tried the most drinks currently.

Do you think that person knows Is there that person? I think so, yeah. Like, that's an intentional thing. I think so. Like, do you remember when you and I interviewed that dude who played 50 Cent Blood on the Sand that night? And he was the number one player in the world

and he had no clue. But, I mean, he knew. You don't know, he could have been lying. He could have been full of shit. Yeah, I think he just didn't want to own. Everybody's got to be like, maybe not everybody, but a lot of people are probably the number one person in something and have no clue.

It would be interesting if there was somebody who had a palette that was viewed as like oh this person knows what will be hot in the soda market or whatever because i assume they taste a bunch of different recipes like a soda soothsayer yeah like this Coca-Cola have somebody that has just like insane taste buds in the sense of whatever they deem to be their featured flavor is the best option there's like an there's like an anna wintour for soda. There's some guy at Coke who has the most trusted buds. Absolutely.

That'd be such a cool job to it to tell people. Like, oh, if I like it, Coke makes it. Yeah, yeah, I'm pretty big deal. If I, if I, you familiar with the, you're familiar with the cherry Coke by any chance? Yeah, that's me. I said

yes to that. I like it. There's a homeless guy in the street that was like, I'm the guy that approved new Pepsi. You know what? You've never You know what you've never heard of? Peach, Coke? You want to know why? I said no.

I greenlit half that vending machine. Oh, man. What a lame movie that would be. Because it's always like boxers who like, they can't fight anymore because of the damage. The idea of like a taste bud savant who ruins his buds. Yeah.

He had like one extreme curry and he lost his, he lost the shot. He can only deal in spice. now and he lost all these other stuff. Andrew, you, speaking of movies, you mentioned to me that you're watching all of the movies from the summer movie. I'm trying to, yeah,

because we need to record that recap of the most recent summer movie league we did. How far into, like, how many do you have left to go? Probably, like, ten-ish, I would say. I've been watching, like, two or three movies whenever I can. Do you have a... I don't want to encroach upon that content,

because I imagine we'll be recording it soon, but do you have a clear favorite, like a movie. So far, fight or flight is definitely the most fun. Really your favorite? Okay. Yeah, I think so. I think so. It's pretty good. Thank you for the recommendation to watch that film, by the way. Of course. Every bit as good as you said it would be. I caught myself giggling while watching it a couple times. Yeah. It's there is a joke that they pay off, which is so unnecessary to pay off

in a fight scene that, uh, wonderful. It's filled with moments like that. Yeah. It's the type of movie where a character reveals they have a certain type of face tattoo and that character recognizes them as being part of like a dangerous group because of the tattooing and it's I'm so into that

type of ridiculous action you love that trope yeah just the premise of like okay this person clearly is like part of some known group that has tattooing that represents their thing it's great that's such a fun movie

I just watched the most recent Mission Impossible and that was not a fun movie Is that the final one, the Dead Reckoning 2 or whatever? What they claim to be the final one, but it doesn't end in a way that feels like it's final. I need to see it, I guess. I watched the one before it. That was okay.

It is like, it's almost a three-hour movie, and I want to say two hours of that is them explaining what it is that they need to do and why they need to do it. And I feel like all the set up in the other movie is kind of not even that important somehow. No. No. The thing I was most excited about that they set up in the first movie is such an afterthought for them dealing with it. I thought it was going to be a really cool moment. It's actually a weird problem for a Mission Impossible movie where they made the act of them doing a certain thing so precarious and so dangerous that like I didn't get to just enjoy the space that I was excited to see more of. for what they set up.

It was like, I wish that things didn't go wrong and he didn't have to do all this crazy stunt work and that he could just go in and search this thing. But, yeah, it's, it's been fun.

I'm excited to talk about those movies when we record that content. Yeah, I'm excited to do that and wrap that up. Also, now that the year is almost up, everybody don't forget, you got to get your blindsides in. You don't want to lose them.

Yeah, Gavin. How are the, you saving them blindsides? Yeah. Oh, I got so stressed out thinking about what my blindside might be. You just have a box of bullets. Box of bullets. Box of bullets. We use the immunity bullets.

I feel like a blindside bullet could be a thing. And I don't think you've ever shot one. So you're building the ammo. You're getting ready. I feel like it's around this time of year that I start, I start warming up the part of my body that tries to figure out if Nick's wearing a mask because it's back on the table soon. Very soon.

Are we doing that again? We're going to do it quarterly? Like, what's the, do we have a plan? What do we think? We do it yearly though, don't we? Okay. So what I mean is like, if we're doing it, then yeah, we're doing it. And then are we doing the quarter system, which is I was hoping something you remember just

off the rip where quarterly people are supposed to pay attention to if he was wearing the mask more than everyone else. Yep. Yep, yep, yep. Okay. I cook you four. How many ratty boy shirts do we got? We got two of them?

Gavin doesn't even know what that is. Don't even worry about it. Should we also at some point wrap up the Nostradamus thing, too? Do we do that early next year, I guess? Yeah, early next year. I mean, we have to wait until at least January 1st. Because anything can happen on December 31st. True.

That's true. A dog may speak. Should we back to? back the results and then a new Nostradamus? Yeah, absolutely. Oh, wow. I like it. We have to be new one. You can't be right again. This can be awesome. I need you guys plan on getting

divorced in like the next two weeks? Nah. Not planning on it. I'm glad. You all beat the odds. I don't think you are, man. I don't think you are. I'm really excited for all of you. That's awesome. It doesn't sound that way.

No, I'm pumped. Okay. I think we should do a compilation of Eric's thanks man's of the year. And I mean it every time. Yeah, it's pretty obvious you meet it. Yeah, I don't think that was ever in question. I want to give a little thanks to a very kind member of the community called on Reddit. He's called Blade.

And he did a post called My Guide. for Gavin on saving his old Pikachu. And it was like the most in-depth set of instructions ever, and I'm absolutely going to follow it. So I thought that was very nice of that person. But there are no Pikachu updates. It's still as far as we know in the same state.

No, I haven't. All I've done is backed him up. He's now safe forever on my computer, and I can now change the battery and the cartridge and stuff. Oh, that's great. Move on to phase two. Congratulations. That's awesome. Thank you. That is phenomenal. What a year.

What a great year for regulation. It's been. I've enjoyed it. Yeah. We still have a couple more podcasts before the end of the year, right? I think just one. Today's December 24th, so we have one more. Okay.

24th, we know one more. Yep. One more big blowout extravagance. Will Gavin have his blind sides played? I don't think so. We have to tune in to find out. Podcasts. Podcasts, regulation, episode 86.

Podcasts, regulation, 86 episode. Were you guys ever into, like, TEE magazines? No. What the fuck? What does that mean? Because we're, so we're closing out 2025 weird style, got it. Well, I remember, like, going into, like, an off-license and stuff, buying a little chalky or something, like a twirl or something on the way home from school. And you see all, like, you see, like, nuts and loaded.

Sure. And I assume, like, oh, one day I'll be old enough to read them and buy them. And now I'm, I've realized I never did. What age is that actually for? Is it for... I can't imagine being 38 and reading one. Like, who's gonna do that? The pre-internet age?

I don't think anybody was reading anything. But that was like actual... It was like a lot of stuff in there. I never tried buying one. Would I be prevented from buying one? Is there an age restriction on those things? You'd have to be 18, I think. Okay.

Yeah, I think it would be 18. But I also think they wouldn't sell one thing. to a 38-year-old. I mean, they sell one. They just tell you no. Too old, man. Bro. Bro, do you have a phone?

It's just a product that's been replaced by the internet, obviously, because there's so many better articles on the internet to read. Did they ever actually shut them down, though? Because, like, loaded must still be a thing. Well, I think they still exist.

I'm sure. Well, I don't know. Playboy doesn't exist in a physical form anymore, right? Didn't they get rid of that? Oh, I don't know. No clue. Loaded magazine. Oh, I thought he was typing

where did magazine go? But to answer your question, I mean, I was a 12-year-old kid, so I was definitely into those magazines, but they're not something you bought. It's something that somebody's older brother let you have that you hid in a bag in the woods. You found in a bag in the woods.

Yeah, and then you passed it on to the next kid who wanted a bag in the woods. Yeah, I guess it stopped, loaded ended in March 2015. Wow. Now an online thing. Maybe if you'd supported the more, they'd still be around. I just don't think I... I think I turned like 18, 20,

and I just assumed I had so much life left to buy one of those. And then I just completely missed it. I think a lot of the two is, like, not being able to do it makes it more enticing. Like, I wanted to be old enough to buy cigarettes. I never wanted to buy a cigarette, and I never did. Once I was 18, and it was like, I was like, hey, you can buy cigarettes.

And I was like, okay, cool, gross. no thanks you know I want to try it I've never done that buy cigarettes yeah what kind would you get

B&H Benson and Hedges I fucking knew it why I know it's like cheap like your school kids buy them Gavin I think you should take an Uber ride to the nearest 7-11

and go in and buy an adult magazine and a pack of cigarettes yeah hell yeah I'm gonna go down the office in the car Take a nap in the car on the way there. Condoms. Yeah, I'm gonna buy all the stuff

and when I'm in there I'm gonna check how much a Fredo bar costs because when I was a kid it was 10P but I don't think it is anymore. Get some Rhino horn. I can assure you it isn't. What the fuck is a Fritto bar? It's a kilo frog.

It's a frog trucker. How much is a Fredo in 2025? Here you go. Here's Fredo. 20p. Oh, between 30 and 45 I'm seeing it. Oh, wow. 35p for, I remember when they were 10.

It's fucked up, man. to be old enough to say I remember when they were blank, Gavin. Feels good. Yeah. I mean, you've had some luck if you could say that, right? For sure. The only part I would say

is lucky about that experience. We should probably wrap up this episode so that way we can go buy cigarettes. Nick, is there a cigarette you're going to buy? Yeah. Which one? Uh, camel menthol.

Menthal. That was my time, baby. Oh, cool. Well, can I interest you then in the camel crush, which is just a regular cigarette, but then you can crush the little menthol thing and halfway through you can make it menthol? Oh, it's so satisfying. Wait, what? So gross. You crack that little thing.

There's like a mint in it? Yeah, pretty much. There's like a little ball in it. And then so you can smoke it normal style. And then you pop the ball and you can smoke it menthol style. You know, you can inhale whatever's in there. I don't assume someone just to take it a cyanide capsule if I saw someone do that. Do you think if we, if we sit sat there and watched Gavin smoke one entire cigarette,

he would grow up? Yes. I don't want to do that. I don't want to do it either. I've never smoked a cigarette. I've never smoked a whole cigarette in my life. Yeah. I had some of a cigarette at a bowling alley once.

What if between us, we have to smoke one? Well, here's the thing. It would be one puff for Gavin, one puff for Eric, one puff for Jeff, and the rest of the cigarette for Nick. Nick chumps. And then like a six-month wee-laps for Nick. Yeah, so many cigarettes for Nick. I hate that I'm legitimately too intimidated to buy cigarettes. Go buy them!

What do you mean? Go buy you. You're almost 40. He's scared. You're scared of the guy at the convenience store. Buy these camels, sir. Gavin's 15 years older than the guy who's selling them to him. He doesn't give a shit.

I have to be looking over my shoulder to make sure my mom did walk in. At what age? At what age do you stop worrying about getting in trouble? I don't, I'm not there yet. Because I'm constantly afraid of getting in trouble like I'm eight. And I'm, I'm fucking closer to 100 than one at this point, you know? Who's going to make you be in trouble? I don't know.

My wife, my mom, the quote, the man, like you got Eric, I'm always scared of Eric. Eric's terrifying. There's a lot of people that I could get in trouble with. Yeah. In trouble. In trouble is so crazy. That's like if you rode your bike over to my house to knock on my door to I'd be scared I'd get in trouble with Barbara for knocking on the door too loud

or be like showing up unannounced. I would never do that because I'd be too scared. You think I wouldn't want to ride my bike over to Gavin's house all the time? I'm never going to knock on the door. I'm scared of Meg. I don't want to get in trouble. I get that. You're scared of your bingo, buddy?

I can easily. Oh, man. Dude, I'm fucking done with bingo. I got out. You're out of bingo? I got out. I've seen this fucking song and dance before. I haven't been in Monday.

And you'll be back this week No, they already went this week And I didn't go with him He'll go soon He'll go soon Did you get sick of Emily winning? No, but Emily did win this week again Holy shit

Yeah, she's won like four times In the last eight times they've gone or something I think it's getting I think it's wearing real thin to Vanessa and and Meg Does she win the sloppy joys when you play Typically Oh man, we haven't Yeah, usually she's a winner

Emily's usually a winner Yeah She wins a lot of stuff That's great Good for Emily Skilled bingo player Everyone says it It is true

But no I'm out of bingo Thank you My bingo days are over I'll probably go to bingo Like three times next year I enjoy a bingo I just get my fix Much like Andrew with the hot dog

And then I'm good for a while I want to build the desire up naturally again That's very fair So who wants Q1 of Nick's Mosque. Oh, that's a big responsibility. Nick will do it.

Nick will keep it open here. Well, here's a thing. Let's take a week to think on it. So when we do our last episode of the year, we'll know going into January who feels like they can take up the mantle the responsibility of Q1 to figure out this monkey man.

We could give it to the wheel. The wheel, I think is the way to do it. It feels like a wheel thing. All I've had an idea. But are you, now here's the thing, Gavin, Are you prepared for it to land on you? Yeah. Are you prepared for it to land on second wheel?

Could land on second wheel. Could land on coin. Why would it land on coin? Coin could be on the wheel. What would coin do? Well, you decide after we were on the wheel. Yeah. Q1 or Q4?

Point one or coin two or coin 5,000. There could be a thing on the wheel that just says convert the wheel to coin. and you have to get out that many calls. And that's what you can look forward to at the next episode of the Regulation Podcast. Incredible. Wow. Christ.

Oh, man. Oh, thank you for listening to another episode of the Regulation Podcast. There's only one more to be listened to in 2025. Well, that's not true. You can listen to all of them in 2025, but one new one on the way before we kick off the new year.

What are we going to talk? We have one episode left to talk about everything we didn't get to talk about yet in 2025. I'm sure you guys have tons of stuff that you want to get to. And you can get to it too by being here next Wednesday and then for every day after that

because once it's out, it's out forever. And listen to it and like it and we'll see you next time. Bye. Bye.
