Starting point is 00:00:20 You're about to have a plague of outsiders descend on your town. Let me tell you this. It's going to be consequences. Mayor of Kingstown, new season now streaming on Paramount Plus. Hello and welcome to another episode of the Regulation Podcast. This is episode 78. My name is Jeff Ramsey. With me as always, Eric Padour, Nick Schwartz, Andrew Pant, and Gavin Free, zero anxiety between the last recording and this one.
Starting point is 00:00:44 Oh, that's great. You didn't stare at the ceiling while you were taking a piss. Yeah, for audience, there's about four minutes between recordings, so I didn't allow myself much time. I think the last one, recording 77 kind of put me at ease and I feel like normal again. It's nice. That's great. Let's go back to the source of this anxiety. What happened in Detroit? Oh, my God. Can I tell you? Actually, Detroit was a lovely weekend. Are you eating? What are you eating? What are you talking about anxiety? And I realized I needed to take my medication.
Starting point is 00:01:14 Oh, is it chewables? No, it's a swallowable. Oh, okay. It's not like you were to eat ice cream. Yeah, I had a pill between my teeth and I realized that. Very obvious. Can you imagine if ice cream was medicine, if they were like, yeah, I need to have. I need to have the... Two grams of Rocky Road. Jeff, just so you know, we had this, me and Nick, like, had this conversation
Starting point is 00:01:34 with Gracie yesterday. She was like, I wish bad food was good for you. And it's like, I don't, yeah, ice cream's not medicine. I don't know what to tell you. Anyway, what happened to Detroit. All right.
Starting point is 00:01:44 Well, Detroit was a great trip. But let me tell you how fucking started. That wasn't great. I do, I have an enemy. I have found my new nemesis. I'll never see this little dickhead again as long as I have. As long as I live,
Starting point is 00:01:55 I don't think, but I have his image burned into my brain and I will never forget him. just because of how rude and obnoxious he was. And just the amount of space that he took up as a human being, I just wanted to throttle him. I just wanted to throttle him. But you can't do it.
Starting point is 00:02:11 You got to be peaceful. You got to be peaceful people, right? But, you know, last week, we recorded this podcast. And then as soon as I hit, we hit stop. I uploaded the file. I already had my bags in the car. And then I drove to the airport to go to Detroit. We're going to have this nice weekend in Detroit.
Starting point is 00:02:28 me, Emily, Burndog, Vanessa, Gavin, and Meg, and then we were going to meet Emily's family up there who lives there, and of course, Canton, Sarah. And it was just going to be a big fun weekend, and I imagine we'll talk about that a lot today. But it started with this trip to the airport. Emily had already flown out early, so I was going by myself. It was one of those things where I had, like, two hours to kill, and you don't want to just sit in your living room and stare at your phone every, or a watch every 10 minutes and go, like, ugh, you know. So I just said, I'm just going to go get there early got there early thank god i did because the austin airport is the situation is untenable it is under construction they are i'm going to sound like this is going to sound
Starting point is 00:03:09 like old r t content i don't want to but they're rebuilding the airport they're doubling it in size they're doing it while not shutting down the airport and also austin's become you know one of the most popular travel destinations and so it's just insanity it's like Costco on Black Friday at the airport at all times when you go there. So I get there and I'm like, thank God I got two hours to kill because I'm going to be in line for a while. I'm going to give you guys a little life pro tip. If you're a heavy traveler like I am, you probably do stuff like get TSA precheck, you get clear even, maybe get global entry, all these things that'll make traveling easier for you if you do it all the time. If you're a person that travels once or twice
Starting point is 00:03:49 a year, probably not worth the money, you know? But if you're doing it every week, like I used to, you sign up for all this shit because it makes your life a little bit easier. all that shit away, you don't need it. I went into the airport. I looked over to the left, the regular check-in with like no TSA pre-check. Line's empty, right? Not empty, but there's like 20 people in line. I go across the other side of the airport, the entire other side of the airport to where the TSA pre-check and the clear is. And there's a line of clear that is comically long, and the TSA pre-check line is comically long. And I thought, I'll just get in the clear line and see how long it takes, because I have all the time in the world. I stood in the
Starting point is 00:04:25 clear line. And I'm not exaggerating when I say I moved four people in the time that I watched the entire TSA pre-check line, empty and refill. And I thought, this is ridiculous. What they were doing was they were having people, like you would sign in with your eyeball scan for clear, and then they would queue them up, and then they let you through one at a time. But because of the government shutdown and TSA, you know, running on fumes right now because they're not getting paid, and then all of the construction and then all of the fucking F1 traffic because it was F1 weekend and all the nonsense. It was just like standstill. And so I'm looking at my watch and I still got plenty of time and I'm getting kind of amused by it. So I mark the lady who was
Starting point is 00:05:09 like the most noticeable. She had like bright clothing on and she was like third person in line in the clear line. She had already done the eyeball scan and she was just waiting to move through. And I thought, I bet I can get through before she does. So I get out of the clear line and I go through the TSA pre-check line, which is very long, I make it all the way through the TSA pre-check line go into security, crossover security. I look back, she hasn't moved. The people in that clear line probably stood still for 45 minutes. So my life pro tip is do not use Clear in Austin right now. It's, I cannot recommend it. Probably don't need to use TSA pre-check. You can probably just go over to normal. Can I ask a question about Clear? I don't have it. But it looks like people do
Starting point is 00:05:46 their face scan thing and then just go up to the guy anyway. Like what does it say, what does it do for you? You do the scan, the face scan thing, and then they walk you directly to a person who then lets you through. Like, you go through immediately. You go ahead of TSA pre-check and all that stuff. But when it's not working, it's not working. And the reality is, is it was a good bargain for travelers who travel a lot back before everybody used it.
Starting point is 00:06:10 But now everybody's got clear. Everybody's got TSA pre-check. The lines are so long, you know, it's like everybody gets, everybody's a VIP now, right? So everybody, so the normal line is way shorter. And so my life pro tip is, at least in Austin, just go through the normal and just fucking deal with taking your shoes off or whatever. It's not worth it. Okay. So that was just a, that sets the mood for where I am. I've been standing in line now for like 45 minutes watching everybody else get to go, but me. Go through security. I walk through. Here's what you do where you walk through security. You walk into the little room. You turn to the right. You stick your hands up. They scan your dick in your face and everything. And then you walk through, and the guy gives you a thumbs up. The courteous thing to do now is to walk all the way to the back, as far back as you can
Starting point is 00:06:57 go, where the trays are collected, because other people are in front of you that are waiting for their bags. If you walk right to the mouth of the scanner and stand there and wait for your bag to come out, you're in everybody's way because there are seven or eight people in front of you, right? So I walked to the back and, uh, what do you say? Six, seven, six, seven, yeah, 100%. and so I walk to the back
Starting point is 00:07:22 and I'm hanging out there this fucking turd of a human being walks through right behind me in a black I think it was an Armani suit he's got he's got Dolce Gabon his shoes on he's got an Irmes pocket square
Starting point is 00:07:35 he goes through and then he stands right at the fucking mouth the fucking the first second you could pull your shit out of the scanner he's right there there's fucking 15 of us all crammed into the space and he just stands there
Starting point is 00:07:50 and the second his stuff goes through he stops it with his right arm so it can't push through anymore and then he very slowly takes and puts his watch on and puts his wallet in and grabs his glasses and takes his Dolce and Gabana luggage and he's shuffling around
Starting point is 00:08:06 and putting stuff and meanwhile the other stuff is backed up like he's creating a traffic jam and all of us are just watching this fucking dickhead do this and take all the time in the world Like none of us exist, right? And then he does the most egregious, rudest, fucking shittiest thing a dude can do.
Starting point is 00:08:25 Then he leaves his tray and just walks away. So I go and I pick up his fucking tray and I put it back where it goes and it unclogged the lane so that then other people can start getting their shit. I wanted to find that guy and I wanted to just strangle him until his dumb little eyes popped out.
Starting point is 00:08:41 He fucking... Oh! Oh, I hated him so much, guys. I hated him so fucking much. I don't... He doesn't know who I am. He's never going to know who I am and I'll never see him again and he'll never see me. But God help him if I do. God help him if I do.
Starting point is 00:08:53 I'll never not be mad at this man. I don't think you remembered your place as a side character. He's clearly the main one. Get out of his way. He's the only one that matters. It was the most main character energy I have ever seen. And it was just offensively rude. You didn't say anything?
Starting point is 00:09:10 No, I didn't say anything. Wow. Well, you can't really ever say anything anymore. I say stuff all the time. At the airport? I say shit all the time. I'm like, listen,
Starting point is 00:09:21 I fucking, we'll talk about a lady who I stared daggers through at a diner and I made that very clear that I was uncomfortable with her. And, but I did just like,
Starting point is 00:09:31 and this guy was a little guy, like he wasn't like he was intimidating or anything. It was just gross. And it's one of those things where it's like unfolding around you and you're kind of like not immediately aware of it.
Starting point is 00:09:40 You kind of like, you turn around and you see what's happening. And then you're like, and then you just stand there and credibly and look at them. Like, is this what you're doing? Really?
Starting point is 00:09:46 I think I may have said like really you know at some point but the guy's oblivious he doesn't give a fuck and then he's on his phone talking about his business deal or whatever Dickhead I just think if ever I because I want to say something all the time I never do but if I did I'm just going to be there
Starting point is 00:10:00 having an argument in front of the government basically as a foreigner people are fucking crazy in 2025 too you got to be careful that guy CEO of two cake studios never believe it we just talked to him I found him I found him.
Starting point is 00:10:16 I caught him. Anyway, that's how my trip started off. I was pretty fucking annoyed, and I still hate this guy. And I just, I want him to know wherever he is in life that there is somebody who wishes ill will on him.
Starting point is 00:10:28 Why, by the way, did you rush out after our recordings and missed the Battlefield recording when there was another flight like two hours later? I didn't book that flight. Oh. Yeah, I just got that one. Checkmate.
Starting point is 00:10:42 We weren't recording Battlefield when I booked the flights. That came later. Oh, that makes sense. Yeah, I looked to the calendar. I was like, oh, I would just get the late flight. I'm not going to change my flight for a $200 fee or whatever. This is Delta Airlines.
Starting point is 00:10:56 I don't have status with them so that I can be in a 45-minute battlefield video. Well, I had fun. Here's a good-ass video. You blew it. It was fun. Oh, well, what are you going to do? I was too busy having this experience. I was sharing a moment with a dickhead in a suit.
Starting point is 00:11:09 Where did he go off to that? Did you? I got away from him. I was mad. I was, like, fuming. mad. Like, I had to get away from him. I could a, I could, I could, I could, I still mad. I could, I could confronted him. I, yeah, it was, you know, sometimes you got to remove yourself from the situation? Because you realize you're irrationally angry about something that nobody else is
Starting point is 00:11:28 even really noticed, or if they did notice, they're minorly miffed, but you're like, you're out of control angry about it. And you get, you're to be like, well, I, I recognize that I am having a disproportionate response to this situation. So I should, I should leave. The world is loaded with people like that. There's like, mouth. stand as every machine in the airport, like baggage claim is the same where people just stand right at the ramp. That's the worst, dude. Baggage claim, fucking hell.
Starting point is 00:11:54 And then you get some people, you know, you bought a plane and then if you're behind someone who had to put their bag like further up from where they were sat and then they make you like get out of their way as they try and come back against all the trap. Instead of just ducking into the side and waiting for a gap, they make everyone stop and shimmy all the way back to their seat. I feel like traveling is just a test of patience Oh yeah, for sure
Starting point is 00:12:18 It's because no one says anything Let them get away with it I don't know You just can't You can't get into a fight on a plane Because you'll be banned It's impossible You can't say anything
Starting point is 00:12:27 Yeah, especially not around 8 TSA agents Like the next thing you know You're on a fucking watch list I don't I don't agree With what you guys are leveling But I understand what you're saying The next thing you're doing
Starting point is 00:12:39 You're going through Separate fucking security In a second room every time you go to the airport. I've already been in that world. I don't want to do that again. So we're 13 minutes into your Detroit trip, and we're at the airport.
Starting point is 00:12:49 Oh, yeah. So I got on a flight and went to Detroit. It was great. We had a wonderful time. I don't know. What stands out to you, Gavin? What do you want to talk about? Let me look at my notes.
Starting point is 00:12:59 There was this fucking lady at this diner who wouldn't leave. Did you have a good time? I had a blast. I had a blast hating this woman. I'll tell you that. We went to a hockey game. Andrew sent me an invite. to Power Wash game on Xbox.
Starting point is 00:13:14 What's that about? I was just seeing if I could make multiplayer work. I was testing it. In the middle of the podcast? Yeah. Didn't impact anything. I think Andrew was getting tired of being at the airport, so he just booted up to Power Wars or...
Starting point is 00:13:27 He's off the fly somewhere else. I was just making sure it worked. I learned a lot about hockey. Oh, did you like it? I like it. It's the first American sport I've watched that isn't like 28 to 48. Okay, okay. North America.
Starting point is 00:13:41 Okay. I'll accept that. Continue. You're not even... Go back to your Xbox. We're having a conversation over here. I'm locked in on American hockey that he's telling me about. Do you play in GTA 5?
Starting point is 00:13:54 It scores like football, like soccer football. In that, you know, one is really exciting when it happens. But where it differs slightly from soccer, in my opinion, is that everything that happens is sponsored by a different company. Like, the power play is sponsored when it happens. And the shovels, when they, like, clean up all the ice, the shovels in the bucket were sponsored by Carhart. Says the guy who's every football jersey is 99% advertisement and 1% team. It's mainly focused on the outfit or the stadium.
Starting point is 00:14:29 But I just liked the events that may or may not happen are sponsored. They got fancy ads now on the boards, too, Gavin, for TV where they swap them out. It's graphics they display on them. So it's not just locked in with one company. It's a variety that they filter through. So they can localize it. I guess, yeah. So it's more, I think, a real estate issue of we can now sell this space to eight people
Starting point is 00:14:54 as opposed to three people. There was a, there was like some barbecue place or something, was a sponsor, and it sponsored the sweet moment of the game, which was just a highlight of something that happened about 15 minutes earlier. So my favorite thing with all that I started doing it this year watching the NFL is they'll be like, and now we bring to you the sky cam by Walmart. In my head, anytime they bring up something like that, I imagine somebody was on a phone and was like, listen, we're not going to be able to have a sky cam Walmart unless you give us this money. Please, please allow us to have this sky cam. We're not that they're advertising on top of it, but that like,
Starting point is 00:15:39 Walmart funded this and it only exists because of that sponsorship. There would be no sweet moment without this barbecue place. And when the Walmart money dries up, they put the Skycam back in the Pelly case. That's not that different from like, there would have been no face off season one without shady rays, I think. Why, though? Because they, Roostee wouldn't give us the money to make it. Otherwise, we had to get a top line sponsor.
Starting point is 00:16:03 There was also a nice moment where the wave had started and it was going around. and there was varying amounts of effort from our group in the wave. The first time it came around everyone behind us, like all the wives just stood up and contributed to the wave. And then we got kind of yelled at for not doing it because we were just talking or something. And then when it came around the second time, without saying anything, Jeff and I both remained seated, but put up one hand
Starting point is 00:16:28 to contribute in the laziest way possible. And I just really enjoyed that we both came the same amount of effort. Well, you and I were having a good conversation, I think. I think we were talking about how in England it's known as the Mexican wave, because during one of the World Cups, it was the Mexico fans that started it. And it just is forever known as the Mexican wave. Which sounds super racist to me, but. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:53 Yeah, I think I first talked about it on the podcast with Gus. And he was like, what? Do you feel like you can describe the meals you've had this week as a dining experience? We can all get stuck in a rut. not feel like we have the time or energy to cook at the end of the day.

We did a cider mill. We did the original Detroit. style pizzas for buddies for original location we did folling have you guys ever heard of folling no what's falling folling is this thing that was invented in detroit that i think probably only exists
Starting point is 00:19:15 there it's like football bowling imagine if you were playing cornhole where you got like a cornhole thing okay on one side and then the the other cornhole thing on the other side but on it instead of it being angled it's flat and there's 10 bowling pins on it and instead of a bean bag you throw a football and then you have to knock tin pens down and then the other team is throwing it back your way to knock your 10 pens down and it is surprisingly difficult to do. As someone who's never been able to throw a football
Starting point is 00:19:44 and make it do the football thing where it spins in a cool way, I found it quite difficult. But it was so much fun and there's an element to it too where they're like part... actually the room we did it in I think that is in that photo.
Starting point is 00:19:58 There's like 10 lanes in a row and there's no netting or anything between them because one of the rules is if any rogue ball knocks your pins over, you lose your pins. So you have to play defense while you're playing the game to make sure that nobody else's footballs knock your shit over, which means you get hit in the face a lot with other people's footballs. Yeah, there's a lot of strays. You've got to keep your eyes open.
Starting point is 00:20:20 But pretty fucking fun. I'm not sure that Meg had enjoyed it, but I certainly did. Didn't Burn Doggett hit right in the mouth? Yeah. Oh, no. That's all right. No, it's funny. It's funny.
Starting point is 00:20:34 It's funny. Not like cry and hurt. What else did we do? We went to the Ford Museum. I wrote down my notes, talk about lunch at the Ford Museum. Yeah, that's the place you've been before that you talked about the podcast where they have like the JFK car
Starting point is 00:20:47 and the Lincoln chair, which I saw and is indeed covered in goo. Pretty gross. Presidential gunk. But inside the Ford Museum, which is, you know, It's just like all this fucking museum shit. Mostly a lot of cars and airplanes and stuff.
Starting point is 00:21:07 A lot of big trains. A lot of Christmas ornaments. There's all kinds of nonsense. But we went to this little diner that's kind of like right in the middle of it. It's like situated next to an old McDonald's sign that they rescued that says like a hundred million served. It's like that old. And then there's an actual kind of cool. I don't know if you saw this, Gavin, but there's an actual holiday inn that they built.
Starting point is 00:21:28 Like one hotel room that they built that you can like look in. They like deconstructed the wall. so you can see what the original holiday in the motel room looked like. It's kind of cool. And then, like, on the other side of this is a diner, like a 1940s style diner that you can go in and order food at. And we were all pretty hungry, so we decided to eat there. Pretty limited menu.
Starting point is 00:21:47 I ordered the sloppy Joe because, you know, it's on the menu. And there wasn't a lot else. It was like a cucumber sandwich that everybody else got. Sloppy Joe. What did you get, Gav? Oh, that's a great question. I think I got like a chicken salad sandwich or something Yeah you were the only You and I got the different things
Starting point is 00:22:05 Everybody else got this cucumber sandwich And the girl that comes up to order it First of all she goes and she takes Gavin's order And she stands by them And then she goes, I've never seen the diner From this angle before I really don't like it And we're like
Starting point is 00:22:21 What? What? But surely you saw it from this angle When you walked up to it for the first time Or when you took anybody else's order But then it was like, it was weird because it lingered for a while. Like, she was like, yeah, this is really, I don't like this. This isn't good.
Starting point is 00:22:35 And we're like, okay, cool. Anyway, I'd like a Diet Coke, please. And she's like, Diet Coke didn't exist in the 1940s. And it's like, oh, okay. I guess I'll let's take a fago. And then we got our food. Everybody seemed to enjoy theirs. It took an incredibly long time.
Starting point is 00:22:54 And then at some point she came over and she said something to the effect of, yeah sorry your food's taken a long time the cook was real annoyed with all the sandwiches so she's just gonna make your stuff last what is what is going on what are you talking about complaining to us about all of the sandwiches we ordered it was like it was like one of the rare times
Starting point is 00:23:15 it's happened and there were like five things on the menu yeah and she's like yeah we're closing in a little bit and so she's gonna make your stuff last and we're like uh what okay and we looked back and we could see the chef looking through, like a porthole, and she looked angry. And I was like, oh, he looks mad. So I'm not going to fuck with her. And we're like, okay, so we just have conversations. Eventually the food came. Everybody seemed to love their food. I got the, I got a
Starting point is 00:23:39 sloppy Joe that had been taken out of a fridge. It seems as though they made the sloppy Joe and then looked at the rest of the order, which was all sandwiches and thought, we'll take that sweet time. Jeff's was like 45 minutes from the fridge out. It was, it was chilly. Like it wasn't even room temperature. It was chilly. I got to thinking, like, maybe they ate cold sandwiches in the 40s. Like, I'm getting tricked. I'm trying to rationalize it. But I don't think that's the case.
Starting point is 00:24:04 I think they just, my sandwich sat for like a half an hour before I finally got my food. Anyway, so then we eat our food, a couple more weird interactions. At some point, we realize we got to get the fuck out of here. We can't find hurt anywhere. So, Emily goes, why don't you just go up to the counter and see what you can do? So I walk up to the counter where you pay, and I go, yeah, we'd like to check out. And she's like, do you have your bill? and I go, no, but we're that table right there,
Starting point is 00:24:28 the only table with people at this point. We're the only people in your restaurant. So, you know, we're the only customers, you know, so whatever that bill is. And she's like, well, I got to go, I got to go find your waitress. And I'm like, okay. And then she disappears for a while.
Starting point is 00:24:43 And then some other dude comes over to talk to two other waitresses to the left, just off, like just off camera a little bit, right? And he, he's in like, I don't know, like a suit, like period garb from, like maybe the 20s or the 30s because the Ford Museum is next to this place called Greenfield Village which is like people dressed like they're in the 1800s and shit
Starting point is 00:25:04 and so he's got this like period garb and he's having a distressing conversation with him so I pick up on it and he goes yeah I don't know man they just said somebody complained to HR so they were letting me go I don't know what I'm gonna do he's like yeah I'm really bummed I don't even just like
Starting point is 00:25:20 HR said there was nothing they could do and I guess it was a bad enough complaint and I'm like what did this what did they complain about. Holy shit. You know, this guy got fired on the spot. And he's just, like, got a straw hat in his hand and it looks like he's, like, dressed like it's fucking 1936, you know? He was dressed as someone who would have no idea what HR was. Yeah, yeah, like, HR didn't exist when that suit was in vogue. And he's like, yeah, I don't know. And he was, like, sweaty and, like, really flustered. And I felt bad for him. And the lady he's talking to, uh, she goes, well, I don't, that doesn't make any sense to me at all. We complain about people to HR constantly. and nobody ever gets in trouble. Right then, the girl comes back over and she goes, hey, sorry, let me check you out.
Starting point is 00:26:05 And while she's checking me out, she goes, yeah, I guess I forgot I had customers and I was in the back eating lunch and that didn't go over well. She goes, she goes, I'm not going to, this isn't going to go well for me. And I go, what? Yeah, yeah, this is going to reflect pretty negatively.
Starting point is 00:26:21 This isn't going to go well for me. And then she just walked away. And that was it. It's like seeing the diner from that angle really threw her day off. Oh my God. And then we just left in like confused about all the HR goings on at that diner. Yeah. Yeah, it kind of outshone the whole museum.
Starting point is 00:26:39 Did you eat at that diner last time you went there? Never eaten there before. You got to go back. Never would have eaten there before. We were only, it was only because like everybody was starving and it was either that or go through the park a lot, get in the car, drive 20 minutes to find a place. You know, so we were like, let's just fucking, there's food of me. Immediately. Let's just eat this. Do you think there was more than two grams of sugar in your sloppy Joe?
Starting point is 00:26:59 Yeah. Yeah. I think that there is. You might have gone over that day. I probably overdid it on that day. Yeah. Did you pay your your bill with a credit card? Yeah, no, they accepted. They apparently credit card processing did exist. Wow, that's an apple. That's weird. In the 1940s, huh? I didn't think that was the case. Wasn't cash only? Interesting. But it was. I'll tell you something that pissed me off. Gavin and I toured a house. This isn't even in my notes. I just remembered it. Gavin and I toured a home of the future, which was like this house that
Starting point is 00:27:30 was built out of airplane parts because they had a bunch of spare parts like right after World War II. And so like aluminum siding and airplane shit. And so they decided to repurpose it into like these modular homes of the future. It was like a circular home that was self-contained. And that the goal was like if they got like a million pre-orders, they'd be able to make them. And it had like a central column for the air. It was like, It was like the trash can Mac Pro of houses. Yeah, yeah, it absolutely was. And I guess they sold zero, so the project immediately fell apart.
Starting point is 00:28:06 But in the process, they were like, how much do you think a house like this would have cost in 1940? I'm going to guess, 1945. 1945, it's right about then. And people are like, I don't know. And he's like, $6,500. And everybody's like, ooh. And then he goes, you know what an average house cost in that time? And we're like, no.
Starting point is 00:28:25 And he goes, about $3,200. So it's about twice the cost of an average home. And then you're like, wow, man, a house cost $3,000. That's nuts. And then you go through this like 20 minute tour. And then at the end, he goes, so this house adjusted for inflation today would cost $95,000. And that's where he leaves it.
Starting point is 00:28:44 And then you're thinking, so a house is supposed to cost $50,000 in 2025? That's what you're saying that, like, if it followed inflation, an actual home, a thousand square foot, home, which is what he told us, she cost $50,000 fucking dollars? And that pissed me off. Yeah. Because, I mean, it's like, especially around Austin, at a zero one, and then you're talking about like a livable place. Yeah. You can't buy a tear down in Austin in the city limits for less than $500,000. It's fucking insane. It's because a lot of the land is like, a loan is like $400,000 for a plot, a house can fill on. That was a, that was a stark reminder of, you know, how good things are going for us under
Starting point is 00:29:23 capitalism in 2025. You think if you lived in a house built out of airplane parts, would you need to prove your qualified to open the front door? Would it just be like an emergency door? Front door certified? You have to be 16 years older.
Starting point is 00:29:40 Man, I would not have wanted to live in this house. Let me tell you, it did not look. I would have liked to live in it for about a week. Without the air conditioning? Yeah. And all of the shelves were like on a rotating rack inside the wall. It was rainwater cooled, which is a cool idea, except the rainwater just filters openly into your bedroom. And then it's just like, what do you mean? What is that mean? Like a gutter
Starting point is 00:30:01 that goes around the inside of the house that contains rainwater. What? And also the windows don't open, so you have to open the side of the house if you want ventilation. I don't, and you want to live in this for a week? I mean, I think it'd be fun for a week. Yeah, I mean, I've done camping. It's better than a tent. That's fair. So it's homes that were made out of parts that were like access right not like they stripped the plane and turned the planes into houses yeah no it was more like we have all this excess stuff how do we repurpose it and somebody had the brilliant idea it was like we have a million domes worth of aluminium and plexiglass and my head it was like they made a bed out of a bunch of airplane seats like they just got a bunch of seats and
Starting point is 00:30:43 stretched it out like the fucking like the cool furniture Bernie bought for roose teeth back in like 2008. Exactly like that. Our chairs were made out of airplanes. I've got that now for some reason. I don't know what I'm doing with that. Do you really? Yeah, I'm keeping it for him, but
Starting point is 00:30:57 I haven't mentioned it for ages. Heavy-ass fucking ugly chair. Gavin, what did you think of a cider mill? You had your first cider mill experience. To be honest, I kind of forgot where we were until after we left. I was like, oh, yeah, that was the cider mill. I didn't order any cider or anything.
Starting point is 00:31:14 You had a donut though, right? You tried to run the hot donuts? Yeah. ordered one donut because they were I should have known when you could buy them by the dozen
Starting point is 00:31:22 that they're probably going to be small but I ordered one and it was maybe the size of if you make a circle with your finger and thumb yeah they're small
Starting point is 00:31:31 you get like a dozen you fucking go to town they're like fair donuts how yeah but I don't want to get back in the line was it like 95 cents like what did you pay
Starting point is 00:31:41 for one tiny tiny donut it was like 295 or something this man was still thinking he was in 1940 Yeah, in 1994, that would have been four cents. I usually get like the hot cinnamon apple donuts and then you get like hot cider, but Vanessa got this apple slushy that they had, this like cider slushy. That was one of the best things I've ever put in my mouth. I can't believe how good that tasted.
Starting point is 00:32:04 You ever have a chance to have a cider slushy go. Interesting. Fucking go for it. Drop everything. Y'all do any scrumping? Fuck, no, man, there's too many eyes at a place like that. You can't get away with scrimpy. discovered something really cool
Starting point is 00:32:18 went to this place called Bell Isle on Sunday which is the island just off Detroit it's like in between Detroit and Canada and it was like essentially the city park for a hundred years it's like where there was a zoo there's a conservatory there's an aquarium then it fell into disrepair and the city's kind of rebuilding it now so we went to Bell Isle and we went into this aquarium
Starting point is 00:32:42 and discovered something, a couple of things really cool. One, that you can sponsor fish in the aquarium. You can sponsor an actual aquarium within the aquarium. Look at that plaque. Yeah, like look at that plaque. Oh, that's cool. Connecting whalers. Available to sponsor up at the top.
Starting point is 00:33:03 And so we're like, how much does it cost to sponsor an aquarium and some fish at this cute old aquarium and it's affordable. It's like 2,500 bucks. So Gavin and I were thinking, maybe regulation should sponsor some fish. Maybe this could be like a little bit of goodwill. We spend some money for charity, for a good, for a good thing. And then in the process of getting excited about that and learning about the aquarium, we discovered not only is this aquarium responsible, it is the oldest aquarium in America. Oh, wow. Oh, I like that. We could sponsor as regulation a couple of, like, pike or whatever, gar, it's all gar in there. We could sponsor a couple of gar.
Starting point is 00:33:45 They love gar. We could sponsor a couple of gar for like $2,500, which seems like a good place to spend money for a good cause, you know? Regulation gar. Instead of a bench, why don't we sponsor some fish? No, I'm very into that. Is this what a gar is? Yeah, they're like long crocodile fish-looking things. What does it?
Starting point is 00:34:04 Yeah, they're pretty small in the, in the aquarium. I'm very into this idea. I think it's really cool. Can we pick different fish or are we probably going to get stuck with a gar? You can pick different aquariums that there's multiple that are available. It's not all gar.
Starting point is 00:34:22 There are different kinds of fish. They get more expensive. I don't know. I was figuring we would sponsor whatever was $2,500. Absolutely. It's like, I think the range was like $2,500 to $10,000.
Starting point is 00:34:33 Okay. So $2,500 fish seems appropriate. But I just feel like that'd be like a, I don't know, it's like a goodwill thing. thing to do. They have a puffer fish that has a little grin. Yeah, like definitely, Emily and a puffer
Starting point is 00:34:46 fish had this whole fucking thing going on where it was just obsessed with Emily and it kept like bumping into the fucking glass trying to get to her. And it does this like weird like gurning thing with its mouth. I don't know what the word
Starting point is 00:35:01 gurning is. Yeah, I don't either. You didn't have a, you didn't have like gurning contests? I don't know what that means. What are you saying? Is this another pen that you ordered off of a phone? No, Gurning. You keep saying it.
Starting point is 00:35:15 Eric, can you post a picture of a gurning contest? I don't know I don't know how to spell it. Is it with a you? Might be. Okay, so you don't know how to spell it. I don't write it a lot. Is it earning?
Starting point is 00:35:30 Wait, is it making like a, is it like doing this? Yeah, he's girding. In my experience, you shoved to head through something and you try and gurn the hardest and then you win based on the power of your gun what are you what is this what your whole country does is this like a nation full of people doing this what is this Gavin I don't understand what any of this is you keep repeating it as if it's a thing we have heard or thought of ever or see people do we're almost 300 episodes
Starting point is 00:36:08 into these podcasts and now you tell us about gurning so first I brought you scrumping and now you've got girding I think the problem with all these gurning photos that we're seeing is
Starting point is 00:36:20 GERding and the queen gurning in front of the queen and she looks confused I gotta say man I'm with the fucking queen here I can't believe that.
Starting point is 00:36:44 So America doesn't have gurning. No. No. You've lived here for so long. Has anyone ever brought it up? Have you ever seen a gurn in the wild? You don't often notice what you're not noticing. I've not here 13 years in thinking,
Starting point is 00:36:57 you know what? I've not seen anyone gurning this whole time. But you notice a gurn. I mean, if someone gurned right in front of me. I just don't. I feel like I need to see these people not gurning to fully understand what I'm looking at. Yeah, what do they look like as humans? Maybe we should have a regulation girding contest on the Patreon.
Starting point is 00:37:20 And we'll vote for the best... Yeah, I think we... I don't know what a gurn is still! Look at what they do with their face! But I... I don't know how to measure it! Wikipedia, a gurn or chuck is a distorted facial expression and a verb to describe the action.
Starting point is 00:37:37 A typical gun involves projecting the lower jaw as far forward and up as possible and covering the upper lip with the lower lip. When this is a thing when you're when you were a kid and your parents would be like your face is going to get stuck that way. This is what they meant. And like it just happened in England. In England, it happens to you. In England they don't say that.
Starting point is 00:37:56 They just say, oh, great gun. Stick your head through this thing and do it again. In England, they go, keep it up. You'll be going somewhere. One day you'll meet the queen. I think I used to try and gurn through the banisters as a kid because I didn't have whatever that hoop bedpan looking thing is. Yeah, what's the hoop thing?
Starting point is 00:38:13 I like in the competition the hoop is sponsored. That's a GERN power play. Sponsored by Geico. The hoop thing looks like the thing they put over horses. Yeah. Are you trying to be horses? Are you trying to make like a horse face? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:38:30 It's probably like centuries old. I don't know what you want from me. I've described it. I want to see your best gurts. That's what I want. I'll work on it. Maybe we should all get a go. But yeah, the puff of fish
Starting point is 00:38:40 had a bit of a gurn on when it was swimming around. It did indeed. I also saw a lot of benches on Bell Isle that were not sponsored in any way and I just kept thinking, man, if I had a plaque right now
Starting point is 00:38:55 it could be real easy. Real easy. A little self-adhesive. So maybe we should do some gorilla placking on our own. Gorilla placking. I think that's called vandalism. No!
Starting point is 00:39:05 No, no, it's beautification. Could we put up a gurning hole in Austin somewhere? I don't, the word you just keep saying is like, it's gross to hear, and gurning hole makes me uncomfortable. I don't like any of this. Imagine it like a parking meter in size, but instead of the meter part is a gurn hole, and we'll just film it and see if anyone gurns through it,
Starting point is 00:39:27 if we put like gurning hole on it. You're just going to get a lot of guys sticking their dick in it. A hundred percent. I think it's too high if it. Make it too high for dick. Make it too high for dick. I'd love to just sit and film a gunhole in Austin. All right.
Starting point is 00:39:44 So we put gurnhole in the bit barrel? There's ever been a thing that deserves to be in a bit barrel? It's gurnhole. Yeah, if there's a way we can glue it to the bottom of the bit barrel so we never do it, absolutely. And I just putting that in and get a gurnhole come out the bit barrel and just look at Eric's face after. As he rolls his eyes, vile.
Starting point is 00:40:06 Take it back to hockey for a minute. We're talking about athletics. I assume you have no idea what the rules are, Gavin, to hockey when you went into it. Did you feel you learnt them while watching? What was that process like? I learned a lot about the sort of rotation of players and how they operate on like cheetah rules. Cheetah rules? Yeah, like a cheetah will sprint, but only for a very short duration.
Starting point is 00:40:29 But it puts in like a hundred percent effort on a sprint. And then it gets tired and it goes in a... sits back on the bench. Yeah, about every 60 seconds or so, they switch out. It's like a game of full beans at all time. And I've also learned that when a goalie comes on to do their stretches, it looks very funny. Yes, it does.
Starting point is 00:40:49 It does look very, very funny. There was some very suggestive poses going on. Because of this Gern thing, when you said it's a sport that goes full beans, I thought for a moment that there is a sport in the UK called full beans. I think that's the cheese rolling contest Oh, it could be I'm glad that you enjoyed it I was also very surprised
Starting point is 00:41:11 that in a game that's so violent Well actually no one had a fight in this game Oh, there are no fights But I did, you know, I did know about the fight in But I was very surprised that there's no away area For the other team, for the visiting team There's just people all over the stands Which blew my mind for such a violent sport
Starting point is 00:41:28 Because in football, for example If Arsenal play Tottenham and there's an Arsenal fan in the Tottenham stands, they might die. They might get killed if they celebrated an Arsenal goal. Yeah, that's not sports fandom. Yeah, they do that in Philadelphia as well.
Starting point is 00:41:45 Specifically with Tottenham and Arsenal. Oh, if there's an Arsenal fan at a Phillies game, oh boy, watch out. Just anybody at a Phillies game. I think my favorite aspect of hockey, like going to it live, and maybe like obviously outside of the game itself, is going into that cold arena,
Starting point is 00:42:05 like it just feels like you're there to watch an event. It's the only sport that I've seen were just observing it live. You physically feel different watching it. Completely agree with you. Yeah, the vibe was incredible. And also, there's not a non-zero chance of getting hit with the puck.
Starting point is 00:42:24 Oh, absolutely. Yeah, I know. Was this your first hockey game that you went to? Yeah. Did you fixate at all on the possibility? Like, was it a thing you were thinking of like, oh boy, I really got to be in watch. Yeah, I mean, I certainly didn't ever look away from the puck. I remember my first game.
Starting point is 00:42:42 I hadn't considered it until I was in my seat and they had a thing pop up on like the scoreboard of being like, watch out for pucks. They'll, you know, they fly out. And I just became fixated on that. I was convinced I was going to get hit by a puck and I was terrified. It was like, I got to really lock in on these bucks. I mean, it's pretty scary because there's a net that goes, you know, behind the goal people. but then the net ends
Starting point is 00:43:04 and we were like just outside of the netted area so I thought if someone gets a ding and it clips off someone it could definitely come our way that was a big topic of conversation at dinner later in the weekend at buddies which is would you rather get hit by a major league
Starting point is 00:43:18 fastball or a hockey puck and everybody who knows anything about sports says we'll take the baseball please and all of our wives said hockey puck for some reason and we had to look it up and it was like orders of magnitude worse to get hit by a hockey puck than a basketball. Like
Starting point is 00:43:36 by a factor of like 100x or something, it was insane. There was a player recently that took a puck to the face. Maybe it wasn't recent. I saw it recently. Tom Wilson took one. Let me find the image of it. And his face
Starting point is 00:43:52 I mean, Jeff showed me a picture of someone who got hit in the face with a puck and it looked like Frankenstein's monster. It looked like... Oh, God. Yeah. It looks like he's Fill this cheek with tobacco. It's like he's playing chubby bunny. What do you do in the situation?
Starting point is 00:44:09 Do they like drain it or do you just like have to like let the swelling go down? Like I don't know like face stuff like that is like crazy. What everybody else does who's not a Capitals fan is go fuck yeah. Fuck Tomliss. That guy sucks. Everyone else is pumped about it. There is such a funny, uh, HBO used to do this series called The Road to the Winter Classic. That was like 30 for 30 but for hockey.
Starting point is 00:44:32 in the first season, the penguins are on it. And there's a player that took a puck to the face. And his face was like that, but he also had a giant black eye. And nobody had seen him, I think, like the, nobody really focused in on the damage it had done. And he's like, hey, guys. And they turn around. And it's like the most Looney Tunes ass injury you've ever seen where his face is like a balloon. And he's got a giant black eye.
Starting point is 00:44:57 And they're like, oh, fuck, man. And he's just like, look bad? not look good it's great I mean it's terrified I was so scared to get a hit
Starting point is 00:45:08 by a puck it's crazy to me that blocking shots is just part of that game no thanks I wonder who sponsors a crowd member
Starting point is 00:45:16 getting hit by a puck oh man that would suck because happy Gilmore's dad died because of a hockey puck could imagine if he died
Starting point is 00:45:24 because of like the slim gym puck of the game sponsored by Aldi the Advil it was I do think that hockey is rapidly becoming my favorite live sport to watch.
Starting point is 00:45:37 Definitely more than football and basketball. And, you know, basketball is my one true love. Sure. Hockey's way better live than basketball. The only thing that can really compare is baseball. It's just a totally different experience. But, man, there is just something about, like, you sit down in that seat and you are transformed. And the game of hockey makes so much more sense when you can watch the entire arena at one time. and you can see line changes in their totality
Starting point is 00:46:01 and it's just like, it really clicks in that way. And then also, I will say we also were very fortunate that we were sitting right above the goal. And so in overtime, we got to watch the Red Wing score the winning goal. It was like right on us. And that was like perfect placement. It was such a cool experience to get to be a part of
Starting point is 00:46:20 and watch a team win in overtime. We were just above the goal bit, but we were just below the Beanie toss area. Did a beanie toss. At one point it just started raining beanies. Yeah, one of the beanies landing on Vanessa. That's awesome. So it ended in overtime before the shootout?
Starting point is 00:46:37 Yeah, it ended in overtime before the shootout, in the three-on-three. From Searchlight Pictures comes Rental Family, only in theaters November 21st.

Starting point is 00:47:10 Ford was built on the belief that the world doesn't get to decide what you're capable of. You do. So, ask yourself, can you or can't you? Can you load up a Ford F-150 and build your dream with sweat and steel? Can you chase thrills and conquer curves in a mustache? Can you take a Bronco to where the map ends and adventure begins? Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right. Ready, set, Ford.
Starting point is 00:47:40 And then, I don't know, Gav, what other insights did you have from Detroit? What do you think about Detroit? Am I missing anything? At one point, he was laughing to himself and he wrote down a note. And I asked what he was doing and he said he was writing down a note. And I looked and you had a shitload of notes on your phone. Well, that's just my main note. I just add, I never delete anything.
Starting point is 00:47:59 What did I add, though? Two buttholes. We talked about, no. Do we talk about two bottles? Not on here. Oh, yeah. The inside and the outside butthole. Maybe I was just writing down all the sponsored stuff.
Starting point is 00:48:12 Yeah, apparently, Meg was telling us, there's a second butthole up your butt hole. An involuntary butthole that exists, like the other side of a sausage. It's a similar sphincter that you have no control over, but it will like push open and push poo down and that's when you need to poo. And then if you don't use your self-controlled butthole to do a poo, your second butthole will like pull back
Starting point is 00:48:34 what it released and close up again so you don't need a poo. Yeah. Interesting. A double butthole. It's like a vibes butthole. It just kind of operates based on how you're feeling. And that must be the butthole that when I'm thinking,
Starting point is 00:48:49 like when I need a poo and I'm getting closer to a toilet and then I really start needing a poo. It must be my second butthole, just really putting everything against the inner doors. Sure, as it does. The vibes hole, as they call it. I gotta say, it was fucking awesome to spend a weekend in fall
Starting point is 00:49:07 with leaves changing and weather. Yeah, we flew to a different season. We wore a jacket and fucking pants. I wore pants. I thought, oh my God, I can finally wear pants again. back in swim trunks got off the plane Monday 90 fucking degrees back in swim trunks immediately that's a way to live
Starting point is 00:49:28 God damn it was just a bit of a crazy weekend to be flying because as we were leaving like all the Formula One was coming in to Austin but then at the place we were at in Detroit there was a marathon and also the No Kings protest and then I immediately flew to Missouri where in Austin everyone was leaving the F1 thing and it was just a real shit show of a weekend
Starting point is 00:49:48 to be flying also in the middle of a government shut down. Yeah, and then the AWS hat thing happened on Monday, which delayed my flight for like an hour. Oh, I didn't even think about that. Everything was grounded at airports for a little while because they all rely on Amazon web services. It was just a nightmare all the way around.
Starting point is 00:50:04 Speaking of NHL, I read about a referee who allowed a goal that actually went behind the post under the net and gave it as a valid goal. And apparently they got permanently banned from being an NHL referee for life. They don't fuck around in the NHL. Think about what players do and what they get away with and they get to keep playing after like a one game ban.
Starting point is 00:50:28 And you get a lot, you just get your career just ended by one decision. Hockey roughing is really weird where they call penalties but they don't call penalties and then they create penalties if they make mistakes. Oh, they like OJ it? Yeah, like let's say like they'll make a penalty call against a team and then it'll be reviewed in some aspect
Starting point is 00:50:46 and it's like, uh, that wasn't that great of a call. they will do a makeup call where they'll just find something to call but there's also like a layer of the game where like people are constantly technically cheating and they don't call it so then it's like a thing where they'll suddenly call one of those things to even it up
Starting point is 00:51:02 it just it can be infuriating to watch so frustrating do you watch every game I try to watch as many games as I can so typically I'll miss a few in a season I get deep into it where I'll listen to like the post game show I enjoy that yeah wow I love listening to post
Starting point is 00:51:18 games for teams I don't care about you, especially in the U.S. where it's just like, oh, we got Big Bill calling in to talk about the Cowboys offensive line this week. What's your takes, Bill? It's just a guy rambling for five minutes. So what percentage of your waking life is consuming sports, do you think? Oh, that's interesting. I guess it depends on the time of year. I would say I probably spend at least an hour a day. I'd say I probably spend an hour a day absorbing sports content in some form. Yeah. I become a really big radio guy
Starting point is 00:51:52 this year. I've been listening to the radio a lot. What? Do you listen to like local sports radio? Like FM radio? Uh, local sports, sports all over. I got this app that lets me listen to radio stations anywhere in the world. So sometimes I'll just pick a random country and I'll just listen to like whatever's going on over there.
Starting point is 00:52:08 Love that. I feel like you maybe you should get into ham. I could be a ham guy for sure. Maybe you should get in the ham zone. Ham radio. You could get into a ham's, a different kind of Hamzone. Because you like talking to strangers. You can whip up a conversation with anyone about anything. Here's the thing. I don't though. I really don't. You're great at it. Yeah, but I'm great at it here. I couldn't do the two cakes call if we weren't recording a podcast. I watched
Starting point is 00:52:34 you do it when you interviewed that guy in 50 Cent Blood in the Sand that night. And that was but that was in my head like I'm doing a bit for it. It's weird. It's like there needs to be a reason for it. What if you were streaming your your ham zone? streaming the ham zone we could basically watch you become good and learn the terminology of ham writing it down ham zone is it like CB radio
Starting point is 00:52:57 the ham zone yes okay well then I'm kind of into that I have to get a license though I have to get a license maybe not in the ham zone you might need an antenna we'll figure it out I can find that
Starting point is 00:53:09 we'll pull it from the bed barrel and then we'll find out I've been listening to I threw on because it's like sometimes they'll just check in areas that relate to us or the show and so seeing what I could pull up on the Florida Keys
Starting point is 00:53:22 it's trying to get some maybe sloppy Joe type radio going and they have a Keys talk and it is just conspiracy ghost shit all the time it's whenever I listen to it it's typically like 11
Starting point is 00:53:37 at night and I'm trying to fall sleep and like I'll throw this on for an hour and it'll be I talk to an angel or an alien and let me tell you about it Or this is what really happened to Bobby Kennedy. It's just shit like that. That's awesome.
Starting point is 00:53:53 Imagine if you did this all the time and then maybe once a month you could fill us in on all the ham news from around the world. Like what people have been talking about. Oh, another say, Hamming it up with Andrew. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:54:05 Hold on. Let me write that down on a ham zone. Hamming it up. Fucking hamming. This is going into bit barrel for sure. How much does it cost to get into ham? What's the initial investment on that? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:54:17 It feels like a hobby that every person I talk to is going to be double my age. Oh, absolutely. I feel like you're going to be getting into it with, I mean, it's like a few hundred bucks it looks like to kind of get some of this stuff going. Maybe there's cheaper, more expensive. But like, this is like an old dude hobby. This is definitely like an old dude hobby. Oh, absolutely. It seems to be mostly based, the conversation is mostly based on like where someone is and how clearly you could hear them.
Starting point is 00:54:42 You have to take a test, an FCC exam for. Fuck that. $35. Pirate ham radio is what I'm going to get into. But you can cheat and use the internet, so it doesn't matter. But also, does he have to? Because he's in Canada. Is there a different Canadian thing?
Starting point is 00:54:59 I can't imagine that the FCC has its claws in Vancouver. Could be pork radio. Slightly different. Umberico radio. I was watching sports last night. Speaking of sports, I was watching double sports last night where I had on one TV, because Burn Dog and Vanessa River, on one TV, I had the Red Wings game going on T&T, and then while I was waiting for the Celtics game to start, I had the Knicks Cavs game over on ESPN
Starting point is 00:55:27 because ESPN got the NBA license now, right? And so, or not NBA, ESPN, I'm sorry, NBC. So NBC got the basketball license back. And had the weirdest fucking moment where I was watching Shaq and Charles and those guys talking about the basketball game over on NBC in the NBC studios and then I walked outside
Starting point is 00:55:52 after a few minutes to go check on Bernie and see how the soccer or the hockey game was going and it was between a period over there and then Shaq was on set at the hockey game
Starting point is 00:56:01 on T&T and that broke my mind that he was on T&T and NBC at the same time on the same night and I guess it's because T&T used to do both broadcasts
Starting point is 00:56:13 and when they moved to NBC they kept the same studio so they're still physically filming in the same location but it just seems like such a weird conflict of interests for Shaq and Chuck to be able to go from T&T to NBC back and forth on the same night during live broadcasts.
Starting point is 00:56:31 I was fucking wild. That is very funny. Busy guy. He is a busy guy. It's one thing when they're both on T&T and you're like, oh, I guess that makes sense but them to be different competing networks just insane.
Starting point is 00:56:43 Terrible gummies, Shaq Gilles. Gummies. We're not recommend. Yeah, they're big. They're not great. They're very big. They're terrible. They are very big. What kind of gummies are they? Like, they're just candy or are they like weed gummies? No, they're like candy gummies and they look like his face or they try to look like his face. I guess is probably the better way to describe it. It's an attempt at face. Andrew, have you effed with Percy Pigs? What?
Starting point is 00:57:07 A little chewy thing. Huh? Percy Pig. Percy Pig? What fuck is this? I heard pussy pigs. Why do we, what do I know this from? Have we talked about this on this show before? Or is it a different show?
Starting point is 00:57:20 Why do I know this as well? We've talked about this. Yeah, we've definitely talked about this, right? There's pig feet or something in the pig thing. There's pig faces. You go to M&S and you get a little bag of Percy Pig. And I don't like anything, I don't like any chewy, gummy candy shit. But I can eat a Percy Pig for some reason.
Starting point is 00:57:38 So that that's my number one. I feel like we talked about this in that they're hooves. They're hooves. They're hooves. They're hooves, though. Their faces. I know, but they're made of hooves. Are you talking about, like, no, what are you talking about? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:57:51 We've talked about gungies that we're like... That's gelatin, isn't it? It's like made out of, like, gelatin is like animal and, like, hoof and stuff like that. I think it used to be. Is it still? I bet it's still probably like not a vegan product, yeah. It tastes fruity. Okay.
Starting point is 00:58:10 Here's not talking about Percy Pigs. We're getting into the specifics here, man. I was just trying to think of if there's actual pig and a percy pig. I probably not. Can't imagine. No. But so you'll eat those, but you won't eat squashes. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:58:28 I tried a squashy, but. What if a rat chewed on those? Yeah, what if a rat chewed on those? Would Jeff eat more after he saw that a rat had some? I mean, like Andrew was saying, it felt weird to eat the bubble gum one, but the rat teeth marks made it extra bad. Not to Jeff. Yeah, they taste.
Starting point is 00:58:43 Why do we get a single out, Jeff? Nick ate as many as I did post-Rat. You know what? You're right. I guess I'm just used to it with Nick. I apologize. And by the way, I refute that that there is a rat out there with a perfect bite like that. I agree with that.
Starting point is 00:59:00 Speaking of British things, I just wanted to say the bird not bird draft came out at this point. And I'm happy about it because I'm now even with James Buckley. Even with it. How do you mean even? Well, because I always felt, I felt a little bit bad because I didn't pay to watch the in-betweeners. It was a thing. Okay.
Starting point is 00:59:21 When I was at school, his show. Okay. I had a friend give me a disc and said, hey, this is a show that I like, I think you might like it. It may not have been captured legally if you catch what I'm saying. And I always felt bad because then he, like, became kind of like, in the rooster teeth, like circle thing.
Starting point is 00:59:40 And I was like, I feel like I kind of owe this person some way, I consumed content that they were heavily involved in without paying for it what I should have. So that was the main inspiration for me getting the Buckley cameo is we're now even. You gave him way more money than he would have made from you just watching the show on TV, though. That's a good point. If anything, maybe Buckley owes me now. Yeah, you should call him that favor at some point. I should.
Starting point is 01:00:05 Did you like the in-between us? Yeah. It was great. Great show. He records a lot of cameos. He records a lot of cameos in his best. He's in his bed a lot for a lot of these cameos. I'm really surprised constantly fucking I just like what is he get out of bed what do you
Starting point is 01:00:21 do you got with a haircut like that you can't get out of bed this is out of control This is crazy it's really funny that I I got a Tony Hawk cameo obviously if you haven't watched the burn up bird draft please watch it to see the various cameos that are in it Acceptance speeches for burn up bird winners Tony Hawk uses, like, a sunset as his backdrop. James Buckley's just in his bed. Well, Jeff, you must have a spot. You must have a cameo spot that you do.
Starting point is 01:00:52 Oh, that's an interesting question. Yeah, do you have, like, a backdrop you always use, or, like, what? I usually do it against a door, like a, just a white door. So it's just like a plain background. And I tend to sit down on the ground when I do them so that hopefully Albert will join me, but he very rarely does. Yeah, Tony Hawks is just like, I think probably his house in, like, or Encinitas or whatever, and it's gorgeous.
Starting point is 01:01:16 Yeah, I think it's just like his backyard, but still, like, there's some thought to, like, what the backdrop is. He's not just laying in bed, you know? Tony Hawk owns a house in Gross Point. Does he? That does not look like Michigan, though. No, I think that's probably something like California, my man. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:31 That's crazy. You try to get your dog in your cameo? That's a good idea. Yeah, hell yeah, man. Everybody loves the dog. He's not into it, though. Henry was a performer. Albert is difficult.
Starting point is 01:01:41 I could see that. Yeah, a bit of a pre-Madonna. I'd probably try and put Smey and some if I did came here. Maybe I should try some. Yeah, try it. I have a life hack before we wrap up. And I'm mainly saying this because I want Gavin to read on this. Because last time, I had a life hack.
Starting point is 01:01:57 Gavin did not think it was a life hack. What was your last one? My last one was that if you ordered the McDonald's happy meal with pancakes. Oh, that was your first one? Well, what was my... Did I have one between then and... Oh, I think that's been your only one. I think that was my only life hack.
Starting point is 01:02:13 Okay. This one's in a similar vein. And I've had it work 75% of the time. It doesn't always work. But I ordered from Tim Hortons one day. And they have timbits and they have full donuts. And their timbits are like the donut holes is what they call them. They call them timbits.
Starting point is 01:02:33 Justin Bieber had a whole line in them. It's crazy. But you can get them. Same obviously because it's all part of the same donut. Same flavors as the full donuts. I ordered two timbits of two different types of donuts and I'm guessing they just didn't have
Starting point is 01:02:48 the timet of that flavor so instead they just gave me full donuts of both flavors. I've tried this three different times at this point and I've received full donuts on my timid order two of the three times. At the price of the timet
Starting point is 01:03:02 at the price of the timet I'm ordering a timet singular timet I'm getting a full-sized donut. You should order it now and see what happens. Yeah! Well, the problem is, is that when it doesn't work, you just end up with one timet, which is not, nobody wants that.
Starting point is 01:03:21 But I can't. I can all order it, and maybe we'll do an update. Did you know that they're not actually the holes from the donuts? Yeah, I mean, that may, like, I didn't know that, but that, sure. I don't think of them as being the donut holes, if that makes sense. Okay. Like, they don't punch out the middle of a donut to make a donut hole. Really?
Starting point is 01:03:39 They just get rid of the donut middle? No, they'd just make it as a ring Yeah Oh, that works I guess there are no bagel holes So like Right, they're made in the ring How come bagel companies don't sell bagel holes
Starting point is 01:03:54 As a gimmick? They should Donut holes are just a gimmick Why can't bagel hole? So it'd be just like two Tiny bagel halves With a tiny amount of cream cheese in between Yeah, it'd be like a bagel bite
Starting point is 01:04:07 Without the pizza What are bagel bites? Oh, fuck. Bagels, Gavin? This man's talking about whatever he was grading, gurning, and he doesn't know. Never had a fucking bagel bite. Bagel bite. Show me a bagel bite.
Starting point is 01:04:23 I don't know how he would feel about a bagel bite. That looks like a tiny pizza. Oh. God damn right, it does. So wait, how big is that? The scale's nonexistent. Think about like a little bit bigger than an Oreo, I would say. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:35 Think about the space between a bagel where a smaller bagel would fit. You into this? You're not into this. How do you feel about this, Gavin? I would definitely try that. Oh, we got to get him some bagel. We're just putting Gavin eats bagel bites. Well, we shouldn't do that because when we put Gavin does lemonade, you got livid about it.
Starting point is 01:04:58 Well, yeah. Our understanding I felt was that you knew what Sprite was it tasted like. And that's what we were comparing. And then we made all this lemonade, and then you went, I just never had Sprite. I don't know. I haven't. What? And then a lot of people were saying, and then a lot of people were saying that that's not even
Starting point is 01:05:20 what happens anyway, and that you do get lemonade. Do you see those coming? What? Yes. A lot of people are like, Gavin doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about. I get lemonade every time I order. And then other people are like, no, Gavin's correct. What you think is lemonade isn't lemonade.
Starting point is 01:05:34 You don't know what lemonade is. And there's all kinds of discord. I'm only basing this on when I took Meg to England for the first. few times, she would order lemonade and get, and she'd be like, this is Sprite. I'd be like, yeah, it could be seven up, could be Sprite, I guess. Lemonade. Wow. Huh.
Starting point is 01:05:51 Also, a lot of the comments were annoyed that I wasn't making the lemonade when the title of the video was Gavin makes lemonade. But I tried to get in there, but I feel like it was Jeff's recipe and, you know, we were just, you know, I am, I'm sorry. I just, I just was trying to take charge and get it done. Plus, we let you, we let you chop the fruit and that was pretty scary. Yeah, that was scary. I'll be honest. After that, I wasn't, I didn't know how much I wanted you to participate.
Starting point is 01:06:16 That's fair. I did some chopping and I did some juicing and I learned while juicing that apparently I've been using a juicer backwards my entire life. Yeah, it looked like you probably were. Yeah. I thought you had to put the lemon in the direction of what a lemon looks like. I saw some comments that people are like, what are you talking about? Gavin's using it the right. Gavin's right. You guys are using it the wrong way. And then I saw comments of people going, my man, your life is going to change when you discover how to flip that for it's it's really exciting when people like learn the right way to do things and they go oh okay but it doesn't say that on the instructions what exactly who needs them who needs
Starting point is 01:06:54 and me have been using it backwards for 35 years it seems like one of those common sense things but i guess not yeah look at where the holes are look where the holes are it's the shape of the inside of the lemon is like a domed out it doesn't say what no what you're basically doing It's turning each lemon inside out, which isn't clear from the way it looks. It's from the holes. Yet, all of us figured out how to do it at some point. And then Jeff used a spoon saying that was easier. And it just got a big...
Starting point is 01:07:22 No, I used a fork. That was crazy. I used a fork. Not a spoon. Yeah, I don't know about that. Not a spoon. It doesn't work with a spoon. It works with a fork.
Starting point is 01:07:30 And it works fucking great. You just ended up getting a load of chunks in it. No, no. And we were straining it anyway with the fucking cheese claw, so the chunks didn't matter. I think they slowed down your flow considerably. Shut up What the fuck you're talking about I never had a fucking sprite in your life
Starting point is 01:07:49 Are you going to tell me how to make lemonade I don't see how either of those are related at all Oh it's all related They're all connected it's all interconnected It's a big web It's a big drink web You don't have to do the thing to insult people doing it I make fun of Eric's parking all the time
Starting point is 01:08:05 I go oh shit when you hit a curb every time I don't drive I don't you're not supposed to do it What I did was make superior lemonade. Okay. Using superior techniques and methods, using traditions passed down from cooks to chefs to generations. You think that I am crazy for using a fork to squeeze a lemon, but when you don't have that thing, it is the best way to do it. And anybody who's worked in a kitchen will tell you professionally that that is a super valid way to do it. It got all over your hands and you got all sticky.
Starting point is 01:08:39 Internet chefs unite. Hold on, they're all filing in the comments right now. They're all following in the comments right now. It's overwhelming how many internet people are agreeing with me. If you took two thumbs and just thumbed it all out, it would have had the same result as the fork. We can try that, and then you can determine if that's the truth or not. And also, do you want your thumb?
Starting point is 01:08:59 I don't want your thumbs in my lemonade. No offense. They're washed thumbs at this point. Can that thumb truly be clean? I don't know. When life gives you lemons, throw a gurning contest, as they say. What if I get two shot glasses of vodka and I just soak thumbs in it for like a minute before I do it? Well, then you're going to get me secondhand drunk and you're going to break my sobriety.
Starting point is 01:09:22 Why would you do that with Jeff? What the fuck? Wow. Go drink us right, Gavin. There's other ways to disinfect. You don't have to bring my clutch into it. Good Lord. I was going to say bleach, but I don't think that's going to be great for my thumb skin.
Starting point is 01:09:36 Well, I guess I better go call my therapist. I don't want to relapse. Jesus. Oh, no. This was the anxiety I had. The anxiety? You want me to settle your anxiety, Jeff? I found another game outside of Green Giant Back, Miami.
Starting point is 01:09:50 Oh, shit. You want to see the second game I found that I want us to play? I picked up for us. It's another, uh, it's not fully released yet. It's called Amazing Frog question mark. Quest for the magical mystery toilet. I think I hate Amazing Frog. No, I think you're going to love it.
Starting point is 01:10:09 I like Amazing Frog. I like Amazing Frog. Didn't we play Amazing Frog? Wasn't it like set in Swinded or something? I don't know. Did you play Amazing Frog? Were you like a Ragdoll Frog? We've played a frog game before.
Starting point is 01:10:21 And we got our heads jammed through the blimp. Oh, this is the sequel to a different Amazing Frog game. Yeah. There we go. It might be a sequel to what you played. Amazing Frog is an open world sandbox GTA style version of Swindon. We did play this. incredible
Starting point is 01:10:40 all right well watch that over on our gameplay channel but we'll see you next time thanks for listening bye bye yeah
Starting point is 01:10:51 we'll see you later we'll see you later I guess yeah thanks for nothing thanks for nothing
