Hello and welcome to another episode of the Regulation Podcast. This is episode 31. My name is Jeff Ramsey with me, as always, Eric Bador, Andrew Pant, Nick Schwartz, Gavin Free in no particular order.

Hello, boys. Did everybody have a happy Thanksgiving? Yes, it was a day. All right. Well, I don't have it wasn't my Thanksgiving. It was a day. Yeah. It was. How was your last Thursday, Andrew? It was good. I had a lot of barbecue. I bought barbecue. I ate a bunch of barbecue.

Is that because it was other people's Thanksgiving or you just fancied it for? Yeah. Like typically, I don't do turkey on Canadian Thanksgiving, then do one on American, because that's when I end up having time off. Um, and I'd say, you know, I'm just going to buy a bunch of barbecue instead to skip the turkey entirely. And it was a good decision. You get turkey in barbecue. That's true.

But I didn't. I got a story about skipping Turkey. Oh, we have a lot of homework to do as well on this episode. Yeah. What was that? We had homework. Was it signs or potatoes? I can't remember. I believe it was signs and trail mix. Yeah. Oh, what was the trail base? I made signs. Yeah, signs. I made signs and trail mix. Yeah. Oh, what was the trail base? I made signs.

Yeah, signs. I made signs and because the calendar of I said sign homework, but it didn't say trail mix homework. I thought it and I thought it was supposed to be potato homework. I thought we were supposed to be inventing new potato meals. I don't remember anything other than the sign homework. Well, I did it all. Way to go, man. I can suck it up to the teacher. I did it. It was different homework.

So can I tell you guys three stories real fast? Of course. Of the three stories that I guess would encapsulate my holiday. The first two were fun. The third one's a little longer. So, Gav, I don't know if you remember, but a couple weeks ago, I was talking to you about how I remembered this turkey we used to order around Thanksgiving and Christmas at Rooster Teeth

that we would ship out. It was like a smoked turkey that we would give out to our clients and to the friends of the company. It was like our Christmas gift. It was called a Greenberg smoked turkey. And I got to thinking about it and I couldn't remember what it was called. So I asked Bernie and he told me,

and then I thought, I'm gonna be the fucking coolest dude at Thanksgiving, because my family and Emily's family and some of our friends were all meeting in Branson, Missouri. Kind of, it's kind of equidistant from where everybody was coming from their homes. And then we rented a big house and went to Silver Dollar City and had a Branson Thanksgiving. Right. I thought I'm going to be the fucking coolest dude in town because I'm going to

buy one of these smoked turkeys and I'm going to bring it with me on the road trip because we're driving up. And so I well in advance, I ordered a 17 pound smoked turkey, which is fucking huge. But I knew it was going to be like 15 people there. Right. This isn't a surprise turkey, right? I mean, it would have been a surprise for all of them. It was Emily and I knew about it. Anyway, I said for it to arrive the day before we left.

It arrived smelled amazing. The instructions say just to keep it refrigerated and it'll keep for seven to ten days. So perfect. We had this like refrigerated bag. We stuck it in with a bunch of like, you know, a little like gels and stuff to keep it cool. Threw it in the back of the car, took

off on the road trip, decided to break the road trip into two days because we just weren't sure how Albert would do on the road because we took him with us. And so we stayed in Tulsa for the night, rented a hotel, very eventsa for the night, rented a hotel, very eventful hotel for Jeff, rented a hotel, like a double tree

that had a full-size fridge in it so that we could store the turkey. Right. So we got to the hotel, shoved the turkey in the fridge, looking good, smelling better. Everything is great. At some point in the evening, I'm not feeling well. I'll get into that in a evening, I'm not feeling well. I'll get into that in a minute. That's the third story. And I lay down, I get naked. I feel bad. I get like, I'm the sick, when I'm sick, I get naked.

Like, I don't know what it is, but when I get, when I don't feel well, I get rid of it. The only time I ever want to be naked is in a shower or when I'm sick in bed. Usually I sleep in, you know in pajamas or underwear or whatever. And so I'm totally naked and I'm just like clutching myself in a fetal position in the bed kinda whining and feeling sorry for myself.

And Emily goes to take a shower, you know, because we've been driving all day, and she asks me to order an additional blanket for the bed because the hotel blanket's really thin and it's never enough. And so I order a blanket and she was like, hey, I'm gonna hop in the shower. If it comes, will you get the front door?

And I'm like, yeah, no worries, man. And so I'm laying in bed and sure enough, somebody knocks on the door while she's in the shower. And so I jump up to get it. And the only thing I see is her bathrobe. So I throw her bathrobe around me, a woman's bathrobe, and I open up the door and the guy hands me the thing and I'm Like no problem and as I'm pulling the blanket in he turns around to leave Albert shoots out the door

Fuck so I Jump out after him. I grab Albert by the harness. He's not attacking or anything He's just trying to get out and he's excited and I'm grabbing the guy turns around looks at me I'm in a bathrobe the I've got a Blanket he just gave me in one hand and a bulldog in the other And he just looks at me like I'm an idiot and just keeps walking turns the corner and then and I'm like and dead like That second the door shuts and I go. Oh fuck I've got this I've got a riled up bulldog. I'm naked except for this half open woman's bathrobe and

I'm locked out of the room now and Emily's taking a shower and end of the day. I've been on the road for eight hours I'm exhausted. Let me just fucking unwind a little bit in the shower shower And so Albert and I spent about 12 minutes just sitting on the crap Hiding my genitals with the blanket while I waited for her to get out of the shower and hear the knocks And then she ups the stairs is like what the fuck are you doing? And this is what is she now naked cuz she's got no bathrobe. Yeah, she's in a towel. Wonder where her bathroom is yeah That's right, that's my first story I lost myself out of the bed out of the room with the dog with no clothes on and no

way to get back in. And then I go to bed. I'm not feeling well. I'll get to that. Get up next day. Go get on the road. Go get breakfast. We're about three hours into the trip and Emily goes, the turkey!

The turkey is still in the fridge to my knowledge. No! No! At the Double Tree in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Oh my god! Three hours, it was three hours into a five hour drive, we were not turning around and going back, turning that five hour drive into like an eleven hour drive, it's just not going to do it. And so I hope that the cleaning staff or the employees of the DoubleTree

had one hell of a turkey for Thanksgiving. Oh my God. 17 pound turkey. Because they had a 17 pound monster just sitting in the fridge, chilling out, perfectly smoked, smelled amazing, just waiting for him. And then the entire week I was in Branson, everybody just was like, man, turkey, this is a good day, but turkey would have made it so much better.

And yeah, I never would have been there. I can't believe you forgot the turkey. How do you forget the turkey? Well, I was a little distracted. The day before we left, all right, let me explain it like this. I've been experiencing for the past, I understand that's not something I talked about,

or anybody with, but for the past month or so, I've been experiencing and difficult to define an amorphous anxiety that has been difficult for me to get a hold of get a to get under control and So it's just been something I've been working on and just kind of trying to fight through But one of the ways my anxiety tends to manifest on the rare occasions that I have it is that it it gives me Phantom mouth pain, you know because like my biggest fear is my teeth. And so I get a particular kind of like phantom mouth pain,

like a buzzing feeling in my mouth that, in one area that I just, I know it's not real, but it is, but I can still feel it, it is real. It's been so bad that I've gone to the dentist twice before and had full checkups and they're like, it's nothing there. And then it goes away after that. After they tell me there's nothing there,

it goes away, right? So the day before the trip, I start to kind of feel that a little bit. And I'm like, well, I'm about to have a long trip. It's stressful. I've been having this anxiety. I don't know what, I'm not doing a good job of handling it.

And I think it just, it has to be that. I'm just in my head. I gotta get out of my head. I gotta get out of my head. And so I try to ignore it. I try to ignore it. It gets worse. It gets worse.

The pain starts to move around a little bit. It's radiating in my ear and in my jaw to my upper and my lower teeth on the left side. It starts to shoot down my neck and like, I can feel it in my chest and, uh, and then like it just, it comes and goes and comes and goes. It doesn't ever keep me from sleeping. But so I start the trip and I'm like, well, this sucks that I have to have to deal with this on the trip. And then it just gets worse and worse and worse

to the point where, and then there'll be days where I think it's getting better and it's going away and then it's back with a vengeance. And on Thanksgiving Day, it got so bad that we were at, that they're like the Hillbilly theme park in Branson, Silver Dollar City, which is fucking delightful by the way. We have to take Gavin to Branson. Oh my God. Weilly theme park in Branson Silver Dollar City, which is fucking delightful, by the way. And we have to take Gavin to Branson. Oh, my God.

We've got to Branson. I want to go. I went to a magic dinner theater. I what and howled and so loud. Oh, my God. I was like, what? It was fucking great. And I had the time of my life. Anyway, you're going to love you've never seen America. None of us have seen America. It is Branson.

But anyway, about halfway through the day, it was just hurting so bad that I just took all the grandparents home, because they were tired anyway. And then I just, and I got in bed, and I started looking up emergency dentists, and I found a dentist like an hour and 15 minutes away in Springfield that had an appointment at like 8 a.m. on Friday morning, and I I booked it and Emily and I drove at like seven in the morning from our house in Branson with the whole family all the way to Springfield to go and I got x-rays taken. I was convinced

I was going to need to get a root canal on this bottom tooth and they looked it all over and there's fucking nothing wrong with my teeth and they tell me that I probably have been clenching my jaw or grinding my teeth and my sleep due to tell me that I probably have been clenching my jaw or grinding my teeth and my sleep due to stress and that I have now developed TMJ issues. Oh no! So that the pain I'm feeling is real and it's really intense and really bad because I've now been clenching the entire left side of my body and so they send me to the grocery store to get like an over the counter mouth guard, which I use and that helps.

And then this morning, first thing, I went to my dentist and got fitted for a permanent mouth guard. Now TMJ is a thing that I have to deal with. And my mouth has hurt for 12 straight days and it hurts right now. And I don't know when it's gonna stop. That's awful. Why did everyone go with you? Who went with you to the dentist?

Oh, just Emily. Emily and I went through this. Oh, okay. I thought like the whole family went. No, no, no, no, no, no, I'm sorry. She just drove me in case I got numbed up. Okay, no, okay, that makes sense. I thought the way that was explained, I thought that Emily and the rest of the family drove an hour and a half with you to be told that you don't need surgery. I was, dude, I was like, there's no way that that's what happened. That... that sucks.

So, like, what's, like, the long-term, like, what's next? Like, what do you do? Well, I'm using the over-the-counter thing until the new one, the permanent one comes in which by the way They're expensive was $400 to get a mouth guard. Oh my god But I don't get that till like December 23rd And so I'll just continue using this one they prescribe me some muscle relaxers for my jaw for my I can't remember the name of the masseter muscle I guess

and I I can't remember the name of the masseter muscle, I guess. And I am going to see a sports chiropractor and therapist on Wednesday to see about what they can do to help relieve the pressure and yeah, and work out some of the stress. Does TMJ go away after a period of non-clenching or is that like a... I assume so. It came out of nowhere and I recognize that it's got to just be the anxiety I'm feeling and I don't know, I don't have anywhere to put it, you know? And so it's finding its own path.

I had a thing, it was probably like a few months into the pandemic, my jaw hurt for like two or three months, but maybe it was that. Maybe I was just clenching. I bet you were just clenching. I bet you were. Yeah. And so it just sucks because it's just like my left. It just feels like it's like a withering pain, you know, and it's definitely better than it was. It's like a tenth of how bad it was, but just fucking wears you down after a while. You have somebody who I have a friend who recently went through this, and I had never heard of this before to help with it. They got Botox in their jaw.

So you might you might be on a Botox line. Emily is wants me to do that. Yeah, she's already with it. They got Botox in their jaw. So you might you might be on a Botox. Why? Emily is wants me to do that. Yeah, she's already suggested it. I wanted to see the dentist first. But yeah, sure. Mike, I might get Botox in my jaw as well this week. Botox is a crazy medicine.

I feel like you can also get Botox for migraines and stuff. Yeah, really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It can help with like a lot of that stuff. Do you think while they're like shooting you up, like in the masseter or whatever, you think they'll like just take care of like a couple other things, yeah, yeah. It can help with a lot of that stuff. Do you think while they're shooting you up in the masseter or whatever, you think they'll just take care of a couple other things too and you'll be a new man? Dude, I don't... Here's the thing about me. I want wrinkles. I think they're cool.

My favorite actor, my favorite looking dude is Lance Hendrickson. I think that guy's face is awesome. I want wrinkles like him. I'm not hiding from wrinkles. I want them and I want them early. I don't I'm not going to be one of those dudes. I will get the Botox purely to save myself from the pain. But man, I don't want to clean forehead. I want a forehead that looks like I had a shitty life.

Do you also want to do the knife trick on your fingers? On top of someone else's hat? Botox might be the most legitimate medicine that has the worst branding in my head, because whenever I hear about Botox, I just think of Christmas with the cranks. The only time I think of Christmas with the cranks as like a branded this Tim Allen with a shitty face that's stuck. I don't even remember.

It's like he's at a dinner and he gets Botox and he can't move his mouth. But this is to me, this is the face of Botox. So the gear that is like a legitimate medicine. Send the same picture. They just redrew his eyebrows like what? This sucks. This sucks shit. Something happens to him where he has to like get these procedures done and it's a disaster. But yeah, the face of Botox to me.

Why is he wearing? Why is he wearing like a Miami Vice jacket with a shirt? He looks like the sidekick guy from eastbound and down there. He does. That's exactly what he looks like. The Exxon's guy. Yeah. Oh man. I don't even remember what that movie was about, but it was not good.

So, Christmas with the Cranks, I remember what it was about. They were gonna go to, they were, instead of having a shitty snowy Christmas like in Long Island or wherever, he and his wife, which was Jamie Lee Curtis, they were gonna go to the beach and have like an awesome beach vacation. And they were like rude to everybody kind of around

who was like, oh, you're gonna miss out on Christmas. And then they ended up not being able to go and they were stuck at home. And then everybody tried to like drag them into the Christmas spirit and they didn't want any part in it. I see. So do you look like a boxer when you're sleeping now? Yeah, it's a little guard. It kind of sucks and it doesn't work for shit. And it falls out of my mouth three times a night and I got to put it back in.

It wakes me up. But, you know, I'll have the real one in a couple weeks and then hopefully that'll. Do you think like before you go to bed when you have the real one, you'll say ring the bell and then you'll put the mouth guard in and then you'll act like somebody knocked you out and you'll go to sleep?

I hope so because that's a much tougher way to go to bed than laying in bed and hearing my wife go, don't forget to put your little mouth thing in. And it's like, ugh, the fucking most emasculating thing I can hear. Yes, mommy. Remember the the iconic Mike Tyson walkout of it's just like chains rattling. It's actually you brush your teeth and then that's that music starts playing

as you walk into bed. You're the first person who hears the alarm first and then goes to sleep. Really switching it up. Maybe you just recreate boxing movies. We should just get you boxing themed stuff like a giant pillow that looks like a punching bag. Oh, this is such a good idea. Yeah. And sleep gloves.

You know what fucking sucks? You know what really fucking sucks? That the last like eight years of my life has been like one catastrophe in front of another catastrophe constantly. And then when I finally get past it all, my brain goes, hey, hold on now, hold on now. That's that. No, we can't just let things be good. How about if we wrench your face in half?

How about if we just twist it and that'll be fun for a while? Why can't these just be cool? I feel like all of your catastrophes as well, instead of dying down, there's just like filler root canals in between. It's like in Tony Hawk, where you want to do a manual between the tricks. They're your root canals. Those are my root canals? Yeah.

Just keeping the combo going. Jeff, we got to get you personalized towels so that way when it's bedtime, you got to throw in the towel. Yeah. Let's make, why don't we all take a different piece and make Jeff a boxing sleep kit. Oh, that's really sweet of you guys.

I appreciate it. Now you don't have to wear Emily's robe anymore because you'll have a new robe that says like Ram scoop or whatever on the back. This is really exciting. You know, Jeff, you get Kool-Aid mouth guards really just like embrace the flavor. Have a good time. Now, that's pretty cool. That is pretty cool.

That's the most white trash thing is going to sleep tasting Kool-Aid. That's the most white trash thing is going to sleep tasting Kool-Aid. And then maybe some nights we could just have the corner of a ring as a nightstand and I'll just sit in it and like coach you to sleep a little bit. That's a good idea. Oh, that's right. You'd be. Oh, this is such man. I love Jeff. Your mouse. Your mouth guard is just opened up like a whole possibility for us. If this helps me eliminate mouth pain, I am 100% on board.

I'll put the chair in the spot right now, Gavin. I'm so desperate not to feel pain in my mouth. I'm ready. Whatever it takes. Whatever it takes, coach. So that's two of us with sleep injuries. So you're clenching too much and Andrew's ankles are going in his sleep. Yeah, I'm glad I've avoided that for quite a while, which is nice.

Oh, nightmare. No sleep injuries in the last year or so? No, it'd be like where my ankle would be sore and then I'd dream that I'd roll it and I'd like hyper extend it. Oh, body makes it real.

I couldn't quite remember what I was supposed to be doing. The homework was just make a sign. How many signs did everybody make? I made three signs. I have three. Nice. Oh, really? I only have one, but I feel really good about it.

I made nine, but they're probably, but I probably only have three good ones. Wow. Holy cow. I made three and I don't think any of them are that good. I feel good about mine, but it's definitely already a thing that people have thought of because it's a very easy thing to like Google and look up. But I want it. I want it implemented. Um, I think that while you're on the freeway, these should be just every so often there's, there shouldn't be like a rhyme or reason to like where they

should be, but this is just a reminder. I think we need more go signs. Um, this is just a sign to let people know, why are you slowing down? Stop looking at this thing. Go, just go. Wait, that know, why are you slowing down? Stop looking at this thing. Go. Just go. Wait, that's, that's not a stationary sign. That's someone that someone holds surely. No, no, no. They would just be stationary on the side of the highway. Yeah. Yeah. It's just go. I mean, you can put them on regular streets and everything too, but then you think

people might be going too fast because they're so used to seeing them on freeways. Just go. You know, it's funny, Eric. We had very similar thoughts for one. That ties into one of my signs. Slightly different spirit. You wanted things to progress in a helpful way with the sign. I just wanted to confuse people. So mine is a stop sign that is just a stop sign, but it says go with green letters on it.

I really thought about that, too. But that's too confusing. Really just throwing a wrench into their driving plan. Go with green letters on it. I really Confusing really just throwing a wrench into their driving plan. They don't know what to do I don't know if you did it intentionally, but the green on red and so small Absolute eyesore like it is. Yeah, it's ugly and also the text is small So you have to like try to squint it like is that a stuff? It's just go Yeah, at a distance is stop and then as you creep close, it's like, yeah, sort of a bit. That's good.

I think on the freeway every so often again, no rhyme or reason. Like it shouldn't be like every 100 yards or whatever. It's just throw in some of my go signs, but also throw in some of Andrew's go signs. Oh, you don't know what's coming. Yeah. Yeah. You know, well, you kind of know go.

That's true. Jeff, do you want don't. Well, you kind of know. Go. That's true. Jeff, do you want to share one of your signs or, Gavin? Oh, yeah, I didn't make pictures of mine. I feel bad. My first sign that I have is is is for individuals who may not know exactly what they need the sign for today, but they know they're going to need a sign in the near future. So you get the not for underline sign and then you can write in whatever it's not for

in the future. So like a future proofed sign. Yeah. Not not for eating, not for diaper changing or like whatever it is. Yeah. Yeah. Multi use. Similar to one of my signs. Just it's in progress.

Notice sign. Oh, I like that. It will be something. But that's great. It's just a warning. Because my favorite sign, my favorite real sign in America is this stupid thing. It's a sign about a sign coming up.

Yeah, there's a sign. Stop ahead. Absolutely. I couldn't believe that's a sign about a sign coming up. Yeah, there's a sign, stop ahead. Absolutely. I couldn't believe that's a real thing. You don't want people to be warned that there's a stop ahead? There's a sign ahead though. For the stop. Well here's the thing, maybe Andrew's go sign can be used instead of this, where now people know to keep going, but just heads up, there's a a stop sign coming up and that's how they can be warned

So keep going until you see the next one of these and it says stop Maybe it'd be more helpful if you saw it in this format Sign posted sign to let you know that there's a sign posted ahead somewhere. That would be helpful But it's all words instead of pictures So you won't be looking for a stop sign because it could be a different kind of sign. Sign posted. So if I missed the sign posted and I ended up in a car accident, I swear to God, I better be having a warhead mouth guard in. Cause I don't like that.

I don't want to be locked in. Andrew is finding some real stuff for you, man. This is great. I've got another sign. Just a warning sign. Um, post it, you idiot. Post it, you fool. Post it, you fool. Is it a dong?

I may have been. It's just type and just says it's type and it's it's process. Oh, there we go. Oh, lightning is not struck here yet. Oh, it's possible. That is dangerous. And my final sign, my final sign would be just maybe slightly lower down on the side of the road, upside down.

You can't park there, mate. If you roll your car right in front of that useful instruction, that's very useful sign. Very specific, but I like it. I one of my signs very, you know, it's an important thing to notice when you do notice it, but if you don't notice signs, uh, very, you know, it's an important thing to notice when you do notice it. But if you don't notice it, that's okay because it is a, I saw the sign sign, um, just for

anyone who happens to see it, they can say that they in fact did see the sign. Uh, and my last sign, why is it on like a wooden board? I just used a template. I just was like, yeah, it works. It's very Sea of Thieves. It is very Sea of Thieves. My final sign, which is, I mean, I think maybe the truest expression of signs,

generally speaking, is a sign that just says, nobody cares. It doesn't, this sign is all about that. No one's gonna follow this. Doesn't matter. They're not really gonna stop. They're gonna stop for half a second ago. There won't be a full stop. I think these are some great signs, guys.

You want to rattle off the rest of yours, Jeff? Oh, well, yeah. I mean, when you're dealing with a lot of signs, sometimes you want to know if you're in a sign zone. That way, you'll know to look out for more signs. But then at some point, sometimes you leave your sign zone. Maybe you don't want to be in a sign zone anymore. You want to be in a sign free zone.

So you're going to want to, you know, I have to be on the coming up sign though, because otherwise the sign would be in the sign zone, sign free zone. It's it's actually a good point. And it's not always meta. Sometimes you want to convey a you want to convey a message like, and I feel this way a lot when I see some like I see see kids in a yard or outside of a business having too much fun. You want to have a sign that says, hey, do not enjoy. This is not what you're here for. If that doesn't do it, fuck.

If that, ah fuck, I lost my signs. If that doesn't do it, what if you had a sign posted that said, not for fun? That way if somebody's trying to to manipulate they think that maybe the swing I should swing on it. That's fun. They know this is not a for fun swing not for fun And then also this is a pretty niche one. I don't think it'll come up a lot, but when you're in it you want to know Like say you walk in a door and suddenly you're in Andrew's mind palace You're gonna want to know you're in a mind palace. So I think a mind palace sign. Oh, I like the mind palace.

No, that's the that's pretty much it. Most of my other signs were identical to the ones you guys made. I like these sites, Jeff. This is a great idea to go deep on the sites. Yeah, it's fun. It's good. We're just we're, you know, retreading some built involve territory, but not in the same way. His signs are hot, man.

Next, we're going to do some Jeff Foxworthy stuff next. It's gonna be really good. Bill Ingvall was a sign guy. What? That's his whole thing. Yeah, he just. Well, maybe he should have been playing in Branson and I'd know about it. Hey, honestly, it's yeah, I was gonna say it's kind of a surprise that he wasn't in Branson and I'd know about it. Hey, honestly, yeah, I was gonna say,

it's kind of a surprise that he wasn't in Branson. Did you know that in Branson, you just drive down the road. It's like I drive in Orlando. Everybody knows what I'm talking about, international drive in Orlando, right? There's like, Ripley's, believe it or not, there's a Wonderworks, there's all these like, just tourist traps that are like chains, right?

But in Branson, every third or fourth one, and there's a million of these things in Branson, there's just so much shit to do. There's a Titanic museum I went to, where you go through, and it's actually kinda cool. You go in, and it's like a half a Titanic that they've built, and then they give you a card, and they go, this is your name, you're a first, second,

or third class passenger on the Titanic, and you're a real person, and then you go through the whole museum, and at the end you find out If you lived or died I died I was fucking dead as dicks But anyway, like every third or fourth building is a family theater and it's like the Dunbars every night Five o'clock seven o'clock and nine o'clock and then it's like a family that sings and performs and they have their own fucking theater. So Yakov Smirnov has his own theater

with a big picture of him from 40 years ago and a sign that says, you'll laugh your mask off to give you an idea of how current the content is there. But if Bill Engvall wanted to, he'd have a shrine there based on some of these buildings. It's like, oh, the Dutters have a three story building. The Presleys have a big people You've never fucking heard of own entire theaters there. It's crazy

What a weird architecture system do they have? Branson pickle I didn't see any and I looked the shame that is a shame. What was next sign? Oh, yeah, there's Nick Nick. Yeah, Nick. You do your homework I came up with an answer to the homework during Thanksgiving. Oh So I have a rule now This is a different version of the sign that I found but mine would say don't speak to the chef Because it's a knife in his face No, it's a pan. That's a pan. Oh, oh the heads behind the oh, sorry are here. Are you oh?

I see okay Okay, I see what I see what you want, okay? Because sometimes you're in the middle of trying to figure out you know how long this rue has left and somebody's like so how's the job been going all right? Chill out. I gotta finish mixing this shit. And then the other one is a, and this is a very important message I feel for most people that's do not back into spaces.

You don't need to back into that space. Why not? Some people love to back into that space. Why not? Some people love to back into a space. Because it causes everyone else to have to wait for them. And they do this slow little turn. What are you talking about? You have to wait for them to back out otherwise. Yeah, later.

What does it matter to anyone else? They don't know where they're coming or going. When you poke a hole in Nick's logic, he just agrees with you, but in a tone that goes, uh. Yeah, later. I'd rather wait on the back end. But how do you, but if you're just arriving and someone's backing into a space or backing out to a space,

you don't care whether they're coming or going. You care, get out of the way. I can't, yeah, that's fair. But I am, notice at the time you end up following them in, they stop and then they start to back in right in front of you, which takes longer. Right. So it's true. Backs out of a space as you're coming in. You just keep going. Well, no, but you know that space is cleared and you're going to get that space.

There are times where the person who's backing in will go past the space and you may think, oh, this is going to be my space. And then they start reversing into it. Or also I'll just not give them the room to back out. That is a move. I think that the backing in, I just watched this movie called City of Industry is Harvey Keitel movie and Stephen Dorf is in it. And he's like the wheel man in the movie. And he backs into every spot that he parks in to a point where I was watching it going like what the fuck stop doing this and then you realize

like oh that's like his thing he backs in so he can make like a quick getaway so did you consider that do you consider these people need to make quick getaways because they might be in the middle of something it hadn't occurred to, but they better cut me in. Oh, that's a good point. Wait, hang on. Why would they? Cause they're taking up my time. Time is money.

You watch them back into a spot so they have to cut you in to like the diamond heist. I mean, I didn't watch them back in. I waited for them to back in. He greases palms a little bit for the inconvenience. A little bit for the inconvenience The guy takes off really fast and throws Nick one diamond I'll take it. How do you feel about people parallel parking in front of you?

That's a good question. I hadn't thought about it until just now I think the parallel park is okay because you have to right yeah Also, it's a respectable move because if you can do it, a lot of people complain about not being able to. So could you not do it? I feel like no, I can do it. Oh, you don't think Nick can parallel park? Yeah. Should we have a parallel park off? So you don't.

Yeah, sure. I think it's the guy that doesn't drive. I was going to say, where do you think you rank in the parallel park off, Gavin? I don't think I'll be the best, but I don't think I'll be the worst. And I think potentially I could be, I could do it quicker and better than someone who drives. And who do you think that is? You.

Yeah. How about double or nothing on the boots, Gavin? On the, oh no. Why? If I have to do boots, I'm going to wait a year like you did. Wait, double or nothing on the boots, that would mean you have to wear two pairs of boots? I'll put a second pair on my hands.

Twice as long. Twice as long. Walk around the mall dog style in red boots. Like fucking Pluto? Going for a walk? What the hell? Yeah. I immediately wasn't thinking double or nothing. I was thinking, uh, like Meg's style, double or double. That is the way that she does it. Double or double. You're disadvantaged somehow either way. Oh man. Um, can I, can I tell you guys something about my Thanksgiving that I've kept a secret until

now and I've been debating on if I should bring it up? Oh my God. I got to, it'll be a whole story. I flew back to San Diego for one day. I flew in and then flew out the next day for Thanksgiving. We did it at my grandparents' house there. My grandpa's like 90. I'm like, you know what? This will be, I should go. I should definitely do this.

Got on the plane. It was on time. The airport was not that crowded. It was totally fine. As soon as we sat down, the captain came out of the cockpit and said, hey, thanks for boarding. That was really great.

So we're gonna get you guys all off the plane because we're on a ground delay because of fog in the San Diego.. That was really great. So we're gonna get you guys all off the plane cause we're on a ground delay because of fog into San Diego. And I went, great. So everyone had to get off the plane. That's fine. Got off the plane, went over to Haymaker at the bar, talked to a nice hippie guy for an hour,

had a beer and some poutine, and then got back on the plane. Flew back in, then we took off, flew to San Diego, circled the desert about eight times before we could go into San Diego, and then finally got into San Diego and they said, ha ha, not so fast. And then we circled on, like we taxied on the ground,

probably like five times, just kept driving in circles in the plane. So that was like, oh man, that was weird. That just took like a long time. So it kind of like threw off like the rest of the day, but it was fine. I got a ride, went to Thanksgiving at my grandparents' house and I started like not feeling good. I just kind of had like a stomach ache. And then I started feeling like overheated and woozy. And I'm like, man, I, what happened? Like, why do I not feel good? So I ate dinner and it was fine. And then I like, I went to the bathroom real quick and I felt

really sick. And I threw up. I didn't, but I didn't tell anyone. I was just like, I don't want anyone to worry. And I don't, I just feel like off. And after I threw up, like, but it guarantee was nothing that we ate because no one else is sick. I think it was the poutine that I had. And I'm like, man, but I guarantee it was nothing that we ate because no one else is sick. I think it was the poutine that I had. And I'm like, oh, do I have poisoning? About 45 minutes later, I'm like, oh,

I'm going to shit my pants right now. Oh no. I had to, my parents lived down the street for my grandparents. So I'm like, hey, let me borrow a house key real quick. I have to go get a pill that I have to take with dinner. That's a lie, but it's fine. Ran, well, ran power walked over to my parents' house

as fast as I could without jostling anything. Jeff, I'm sure you can attest to this. When I say that it was a photo finish, I had never felt more sick and then more relieved from one second to the next. Whatever was in me was out of me. I felt totally fine and then the rest, and then went back to my grandparents' house

and was like, great, the rest of the day. I don't know what happened. It was, it all, everything happened within six hours. It was like, all of this, all of this fucking travel shit, feeling bad, exploding, feeling like I'm gonna die, and then feeling instant relief was all in a six hour period. It was the weirdest Thanksgiving I've ever had in my life. That's the best feeling of relief though, is when the,

the shit like fixes the shit feeling and the feeling at the same time. Yep. Yep. That's wild that it was so intense and so quick. It was crazy. I've, you know, I've had food poisoning before, but this was like, I mean, I don't know, so sudden and then so out of nowhere and then so over. And boy, it was close to being

a really different rest of my day. Oh God. A really different, that was, boy, it was weird. Yeah, cause I was totally fine after that. I went and hung out with like mega 64 for like the rest of the day over there. And it was like, I didn't feel sick. I didn't feel anything. I went back to my grandparents' house. I like had a drink. Everything was fine.

Did you tell anyone about your photo finish? No, you are the first people. Wow. I brought this up too. Because I was like, I'm like, I had to tell, you didn't even tell my wife. I didn't tell anybody. Oh my gosh, she doesn't want to hear about this shit.

I didn't tell anyone. And then you guys were talking to me. Jeff had a really bad Thanksgiving story and I'm like, all right, mine isn't great. How could you not tell that? Well, Eric, your secret's safe with us, buddy. I won't tell anybody. Oh cool, thanks man.

All right, that's good, that's good. Everyone out there listening to this, don't tell anyone. Not a word from me. Shit rats in the chat. Dude, it was, I don't think I've never, I've never shit my pants and I'm knocking on wood. But like, boy, that's, that's probably the closest I've ever been. That was, sometimes, sometimes when I'm watching a film, if it's a film I've seen a bunch of times, I'm like watching an iconic scene and I just think, I wonder what I was doing at that exact moment. Like when that was being filmed and all I was thinking is what was I doing when you were

power walking to take a big old ice cream liquid shit. I bet I was just chilling on my switch. Let me, let me think about what time it was. It was probably, so I was on the West Coast, so it was on Pacific time. So me and Andrew, you know, clocking like the same, he's probably eating that good ass barbecue. It was the evening, I bet it was 5, I bet it was 5 45 PM. So 7 45 your time. Oh, that's probably plan Mario pie. Oh, we're both having a party. We're both having a blowout Jamboree. Poutine is an insane pick for a flight in my opinion. What was in it? I wanted something that was just something salty with a beer. Yeah. I just wanted something with a beer. I hadn't eaten all day and it was like, well, if I'm

going to be delayed an hour. And then the guy that I sat and talked to was really cool. It was a guy named Peter who was like, rad and like flying to Oakland. He was just a cool guy. And then- Is he any chance of pumpkin eater? No, he did.

He did though have a wife. And my understanding is that he did not have any trouble feeding her. So everything seemed to be working out for Peter. Okay, good, good, good, good. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. He's just a, he's a cool dude. And then I, it's weird cause it, I felt sick suddenly. And then I don't know. I ate so much at Thanksgiving too. Oh boy. I ate so much at the, I had, Oh, I went insane mode on Thanksgiving. And uh,

you got so lucky that you didn't have to shit while you were circling the runway. Yes. That's why. Because you wouldn't have been able to get up. I think that's a very crucial part of the story because they told us while we were flying over the desert, they're like, use the bathroom right now because when we are on the ground taxiing, you cannot get out of your seat. And then looking back, I only missed it by two hours or whatever.

That's nuts. Yeah, it was bad. It was really something. So I don't recommend the poutine at Haymaker at the airport. I do recommend it at Haymaker, normal Haymaker, but maybe not the one at the airport. I can't believe you got food poisoning from poutine because the base poutine is just gravy

and cheese curds with fries. Yeah, I have a feeling that something just wasn't cleaned or there was like. I see, okay. You know what I mean? Like I have a feeling it was just that. Like there's nothing else that I ate that would have caused me to feel sick

because I ate the same stuff at the family thing and then I don't know, man. What time were you eating the poutine? What do you would you say? What time was this life? uh I would say probably like my time. It was probably like One like austin time 1 30 something like that. I had poutine the same day at probably 4 pm I was curious if we were saved. Mine was not poisonous. You guys are poutine brothers.

Yeah man, poutine's a thing where I think it's weird that we don't have it here. It is French. It seems like, does it not seem like an American food? Like take the name out of it, it's gravy with french fries and cheese. Like it seems like a thing that you would get in the US. But take into consideration you got it in the US

and it made you sick. Right, but that's like, that's anything. I just, I've had the, I've had the poutine at, I've had the poutine at Haymaker before, just not the Haymaker at the airport. Eric, I should have given you a heads up, I apologize. That is in response to the 25% tariff thing, we were poised to do that.

Oh, that makes sense. We were retaliating right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah no that's smart actually yeah I get why Trudeau flew down I understand yeah the Poutine's good now it's so clear yeah I just did it on the wrong day yeah I did I really I didn't know if I was gonna tell that story or not and I figured if I was gonna tell it anywhere it might as well be here yeah absolutely that could be their new slogan Poutine it's a poo thing I don't think it should be their slogan, but I'm with you.

It could be. They could put it on a sign. What if in a couple of weeks we all just get lunch there and have the poutine and see what happens? Geez. Oh, okay. Like a Russian roulette at the airport or the regular one? Airport.

Oh, so we have to book flights. Well maybe on our flight to Branson, we'll eat there. Easy as that. I love it. I got a new sign. Oh, what's your new sign? I put it together right now. Little niche, little specific, but just in case,

it would have been helpful. Forgot the turkey. And I assume that would be in the car park on the way out of a double tree. I believe so, yeah. Yeah, that'd be a good place to have it. Maybe the highway out of town. It would be next to the do not back into space aside.

And an episode or two ago, I presented a new game to y'all called Worst Products in the World. Yes. I have another submission for you I'd like to give you guys. Okay. That I found somewhere in Oklahoma at a Yes. I have another submission for you I'd like to give you guys. Okay.

That I found somewhere in Oklahoma at a Walmart I think. I think this is one of the worst things to ever exist and I'm happy to share it with you now. It is Cheetos Flamin' Hot Bath Dust. What? Citrus scented. Have you ever wanted to take a bath with Flamin' Hot Cheetos?

Did you buy it? No, I didn't buy it. Why? Oh, you gotta buy these. Why? All right, I'll go back and buy it if I see it again. Okay, hang on, I'm gonna look it up. Cheetos bath dust?

Yeah, Cheetos bath dust. It's a bad product on several levels, because one, you don't wanna smell like Cheetos, but also it's citrus scented, which has nothing to do with flaming hot Cheetos. It's not even representative hot, which is a weird thing to describe a bathtub. So apparently there's other ones.

Oh yeah, there you go. Why? Bath dust. Why did they do that? To sell $1. I don't understand what it, I see you don't eat it. No. The icy one I'm fine with. I'm fine with that's fine

That's whatever why why was everyone mad about tide pods, but it's blue raspberry Andrew like what? About tide pods, but this but not this stuff. Yeah. This is just food. Yeah, fruity pebbles soap. I mean, fucking come on. To be fair, nobody's eating this as a trend, to my knowledge. I think that would, these would equally be hated if people started eating their Cheetos

flaming hot bath dust. This is crazy. I swear to God. Oh my God. I'm not even looking for this shit. I just... Emily was buying Christmas garland and it happened to be near where we were getting the garland. It's just unbelievable. I think this affected my ads because I got an ad for this, but it doesn't sound as bad as the Chio dust.

Oh, yeah. The bucket of chicken scented candle. Bucket of chicken candle. Eww. Eric, yeah. Bucket of chicken scented candle. Bucket of chicken candle. Eww. Eric, this was the photo of the... What it looks like. I found a video of this guy dumping it in. Oh my God.

It makes... It makes your bathtub look like you're about to cook mac and cheese. It looks... Surely you would stand up and it would die your body on the way out. Wow, this is nuts. All right. I can't believe these are real. We'll have to we'll have to buy some and all take baths in it and then raid it. Oh, maybe we have to interact with these in some way.

Do you think bath dust is like the weapon grade crystal meth version of bath salts? Like it's a escalation of drugs. I can see some people going zombie mode after eating some bath dust Cheetos. Instead of eating a face, they eat the whole head. I think it's a deescalation of bath salts. I think it's like a lighter version. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think it's like a lighter version. It doesn't get you so zombie insane, but just like medium zombie. It's like the CBD of bath salts.

Yeah. Yeah. This is the part.s like the CBD of bath salts. Yeah. Yeah, this is the part It's actually good for you. I Also saw this packet of batteries when I was looking at stuff and I was struck by the brand name Best Choice and that got me thinking Do you think we could sell, ironically, products if we put Worst Choice as the brand name? Yeah, absolutely. Like we were like the shittiest batteries.

Worst batteries. Well, we could do that. Once we have enough products in our store, we could have like a weekly worst choice, like a worst product of the week. Weekly worst product. I love it. Worst of the week. Worst of the week. That's great.

And it'd be our worst selling thing. It's our wow item, our worst of the week. Wow. Worst of the week. Yeah. And it's just a discount on shit we can't sell properly. You said the best choice thing. And I'm like, they don't they make

mayonnaise and they do best choice. They make mayonnaise and batteries. I'm sure they make everything because they they do best choice. They make batteries and many bags. I'm sure they make everything because they're the best choice. Oh, man, I make some of my best choice stuff. I watch batteries on my sandwich just for fun. Here's a picture of Emily and I on the Titanic. Oh, they have the jewel. Oh, my God. Oh, that's... Did Emily live or did she die?

She died. Yeah, everybody... My mom lived. My mom lived and I can't... I think that's it. I think everybody else died. No, Emily lived! Emily and her fucking kids lived! That's right. Yeah, she and my mom lived. Everybody else died. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, she and my mom lives everybody else died what yeah It's not or did she die. Yeah, I don't remember. I'm dead. What's it matter?

Anyway, I love this we now have a we have we have wow items that we just need more than two products in the store Speaking of wow we we sold sold the GERPLER. Oh, wow. Yeah, we did. We. That's right. That happened between recordings. We sold four thousand in four minutes. Yeah. Yeah. Giving us a one thousand GPM rate. Yes, that is where we are currently at one thousand GPM. I was trying to I realized I was asking Jeff some dopey questions.

I was like, so what is the what does the graph look like? Was it like a bell curve or was it like continually going up? And I realized we're trying to get data from what I assume is four dots over four minutes. Like, I don't know how you can get any useful. I don't know if it updates fast enough to get any usable data from that. I sent him what I had Yeah, well to Unbelievable response can't can't state enough how gratified we are that they sold and they sold so quickly

cannot Tell you how relieved I am that the store stayed up and that they were they that day started shipping product out and Most people I think have received their gurglers at this point and it seems like mechanically everything worked and like a charm which I think whoo, so you told you told us that a Huge huge percentage just ordered like one. Yeah, almost everybody just ordered one. Yeah, there are a bunch of people, not a bunch, but people ordered two. And there were, you know, one or two people here are there that ordered a few more. But almost every order was a single order. Yeah, people were very respectful. People were very cool.

All of you comment leavers out there and regulation listeners were awesome and very respectful for each other and made sure that as many people as possible could get them. Clearly, we were hoping to sell them all. Yes, we were blown away by how quickly they were sold out. Yes, we probably should have expected it more than we did. And to that end, we have ordered 5,000 more GURPLERS. They will be here early February.

We will put them on sale. We will see how long it takes to go through those. And if you've already bought one in the first 4,000, then you don't need one of these. These are the same damn GURPLERS, same color, same everything. So hopefully everybody who didn't get one this time will be able to get one in the next drop in early February.

And then between these two orders, maybe we'll figure out what the actual demand is so that the next scurpler drop, we can meet it 100 percent or close. I like thanks to these sales, we can afford to buy more groups up front. Yes, yes, yes, absolutely, absolutely. And so, yeah, but hopefully by the end end of February we'll have it fucking figured out and we'll know, hey, we're going to, you know, here's the new, I don't know, electric blue gherpler coming out in summer. We'll order, you know, 8300 and we'll know that's the exact number we need or whatever.

Yeah. Can't wait. Electric blue gherpler. Electric blue? Is that a wow product? That just came to my mind. I can't wait to do it. Do you think it's going to's gonna be the electric blue gurgler is gonna be the worst of the week It's just like it has like it should have like a lightning strike on it

All right, okay, and now I'm into it What if we did a series of cups where it starts is it starts as purple cups and then as they make bore They just change the color of the extrusion Over time and then eventually we'll have just like a five thousand GURP gradient of purple to green Oh, it's like this giant ombre. That's across the entire stock. I love that idea And then if you get one that's more green, it's like oh, this is at the end of the GURP line I like this idea a lot, but I want to send you to a factory somewhere and explain your premise to that. I want you to talk to the people that have to execute it.

Well, I assume they have to pour in a bunch of plastic pellets or something and melt it down. Right, right. That is what you assume. Yes. Yeah, you go into their factory and say, where do you store the plastic pellets that I assume you have? That just slowly adds more green in. Yeah. Uh huh. And then you stand over the giant vat. Is that what you're imagining is there? How are they doing this? And they're just pouring it in as they're making it. I would love to go and oversee the Gerpler manufacturing process with a hard hat and a keyboard.

I think you should. That's good. And then you can be on an elevated, you can be above the warehouse, sort of like looking down and you should say, we should do this. And then there's a guy looking up at you that says, who is we? And then it all makes sense. I don't think you were probably part of those conversations, but when we did the gherpl, gherpler,

the green into like the purple, that was so difficult and like so many conversations to be like, no, it has to be like this color into this color. And they had to like figure out a new method to do what we wanted to do. It was crazy. It was so crazy. How do you say we is you in Chinese? That's good. Guys, if anyone out there speaks Mandarin, please let us know. Thank you. Maybe for the blue shot, because we were experimenting with these before

everything collapsed at the previous company and never came out. But we're experimenting in Gerpler tech and we were on the the edge Of a glow-in-the-dark gurgler Maybe that's what's the blue shot like it's a blue gurgler. It looks blue and then at night it glows Yeah, it was like it was pretty cool glow glow. It was awesome. Yeah, so they're taking some water to bed and radioactivity. You got like a lamp next to your head. Radioactive. Oh, my God.

It's like when you look at your grandma's old, like kitchenware from the 1920s in a black light and it's fucking bright lime green because it's full of lead or whatever. I have a question for Nick before this episode closes. Oh, I have a question for Nick, too. I'll go after you. OK, mine is so we did the regulation trail mix where we all submitted a thing. Oh, yeah. I went out on an expedition to put it together for the show because I wasn't sure if that was homework, not for us to do.

Went to five different places, including a like a bulk store that just sells the scoop. Like you just go and you scoop whatever you want. There's not a single one of your chips anywhere that I could find. If I wanted an alternative because I would have to have one, what would you pick? Oh.

Other than the ride ship, I believe was what it was. What about the bagel chip? Is that a good? Bagel chip's good. Yeah, is that a good alternative? Okay. It's not the best alternative, but it'll do because it's still got that nice crunch to it.

Okay, so you got it. A bagel chip. Okay. What is that brand called? Do they not have- A Gardetto? Gardettos, can you just get those and take them out? No, I don't.

Ah, damn. Oh wow, that's crazy. Did we ever get Gracie's alternate pick after she next thing? Or they were the pretzel twist things. Oh, yeah. I was able to get those. Which is funny, because like I when you made that picnic, I was like, I'm aware of those, but I never like see them around. And then I was looking at the guy.

Maybe you guys are talking about how like how much people love this. I thought interesting. Oh, it's just not it's not a thing I see. So did you make the rest of the mix? I do. Yeah, I have everything bagged up right now outside of NYX. So I just wanted to get a NYX alternative to get this mix fully going. Because they make they specifically make. Yeah, the ride chips only from the Gardettos.

So that's interesting that you can't find a special request. It's a garlic one. Put some garlic on this guard, Ditto. Put it, use your plastic pellets and add some garlic to the guard, Ditto. That sounds less like a special request and more like a special demand. What? Oh, demand. What? Oh yeah. What accent are you doing?

I'm the fanciest man in the land and I want some garlic on my Gadgetto, god damn it. That's Andrew's like top hat mode. That is my top hat, yes sir it is indeed. Oh lord. Is that his Johnny?

We're coming up on the 100th anniversary of Gardetto's in 2032. The 100th anniversary you say. Okay, this sucks. Gavin, what was your question for Nick? Oh, I was thinking about Thanksgiving and I was like thinking about all you guys because we were writing some nice stuff to us Ourselves not ourselves each other in the slack. We did we had we wrote nice stuff to each other Yeah, I was thinking ah, you know nice little crew and then I realized I still don't know enough about Nick Nick Do you have any siblings? I have one brother. He's younger than me. Interesting. Didn't know that.

Do you like him? Yeah, I love him. I saw him for Thanksgiving. What's he do for a living? He's a lawyer. Oh shit. Where does he live? Dallas. Is he taller or shorter than you? Taller, unfortunately. Younger and taller? Yep. Yet you like him. Interesting. Yeah, he's cool.

Did you ever get hand me ups? No. Interesting. Yeah, he's cool. Did you ever get hand me ups? No. OK. Oh, wait, now, yeah, actually, probably. He's like, here's this shirt. I'm a lawyer. I can afford it. I'm a lawyer. You think he says that? You think I'm a lawyer. I can afford it. Dude, that's a direct quote from Thanksgiving.

He said, I'm a lawyer. I can afford it. He's handing Nick a box clothes. Yeah at the end at the end. He said you keep the leftovers you need it Well you were already boxing him up anyway, you weren't waiting for permission boxing him up. I had already put him in the car Man do you Gavin do you know about uh Nick dog with people eyes? Have we talked about that? Yes. Sounds familiar. We have. Okay. Just curious. I'm just thinking of like more stuff that I know about Nick. He's got facts about Nick. Yeah. I know that Nick's dog was a human that made a wish to become a dog. Have we photoshopped the eyes onto a human? I think we did something like that. We definitely experiment. Can we put them on a picture of Nick? Oh that's really good Nick can you post a picture of your dog with human eyes in a picture and then people can post a picture of

you with the dog with human eyes. This is really good. Oh god that's horrific but yeah I'll find it. Yeah let me get the picture. Jeff you've got Photoshop. Why are you dragging me into this? I want the audience to do it. I want the audience to do it. No he's not dragging you in Jeff. He's saying we should do this. Well, I do. Photoshop. I want the audience to do it. I want the audience. He's not dragging you in, Jeff. He's saying we should do this. Oh, we is me. Got it. Oh, no. He's up above you. You're on the warehouse floor. Yeah. And then taking notes, change the pellets in the Photoshop gun and just get to go. No, no, no. Throw counterclockwise put them in counterclockwise to get the effect Actually, that's more than what Gavin's dad would say color ain't right How I start it.

Like, what's the problem? The color ain't right. How are we going to fix it? That's exactly what happened with the black Gopler. The first one came out kind of green. And what did we say? We said color ain't right. Yeah, but we're not there in the factory to give instruction on how to fix it

Just send an email back that said color ain't right That might be the subject of the email though Oh Man, all right. We got to wrap this one up guys. We have to we got to go We have to end this thing. Oh, but I've missed you a lot.

Like, I mean, just the foot. which is such a fun idea. It's the worst picture you could have posted. How are we gonna get the eyes from that? Like, I mean, just. What the fuck?

Take another picture. I'll take another picture. That's the only one I have. That's the only one I have. Like, think. Then just don't post it. You know what? That's like Gracie's hand in the bath.

That's good. It is. It's worse. Well, don't take it down now. The audience needs to see it. You posted a picture of a brown dog on brown carpet. I will say that if I had to fall down a flight of stairs, I'm picking that one.

That looks incredible. It's a very plush place. It's pretty good. Dude, and you would fall down the flight of stairs cause you'd trip over that dog laying there cause you can't see him cause he's the same color as the carpet. I'm like a trip to repair floating eyes here you go

Nick don't worry. I got you You do oh My god Nick Photoshopped Photoshop the Padres at Photoshop the Padres had a dog that has human eyes I didn't even register to me as a Photoshopped Padres hat. I just was like, Nick's dog likes the Padres.

Nick's, I agree. Nick's dog likes the Padres. We should put that on a sign. That's right. Ooh! That's the new stop sign. I'll save it for next time. I had a moment of like it was the perfect.

I just am willing to go with the flow on too many like on too extreme of a lot. I love these. I yeah, I should probably save it. It's not a long story, but you only just said do we have time? Just just do it. Just okay. As on TikTok, I was scrolling and I'm someone who when I see something about like if someone's like, hey, I'm this or whatever, it's like, OK, whatever.

I don't care. It's fine. What? And it was a person. It was a news story about someone who is an 18 year old who is a has been like established as a reincarnated llama is what it said. And it was about the Dalai Lama. But I didn't I interpreted it as a reincarnated llama is what it said. And it was about the Dalai Lama. But I didn't I interpreted it as a literal llama.

So I loaded in. I was like, what this way and this you can just be an animal in a past life. And they've determined this is a wild story. So I'm watching it, waiting for it to expand. And they interview this 18 year old kid. He's like, yeah, you know, it's it's a pretty unorthodox life. You know, I got a lot of learn that's more than just going to college. And my brain went, yeah, you're a fucking llama in your past.

Like, you got you don't even know how to do any people's stuff. This is a whole thing for you. And then then they immediately went, yeah, the Dalai Lama. And I went, oh, fuck. Oh, no. This is just he's a past person who was a lump. Oh, he is. He's from Minnesota. Yeah, he's a Minnesota guy here.

Hang on. I want you to I want you to look at this picture of this kid that definitely played like defensive end. Yes. 100%. That kid was a starter for his high school football team. No doubt. And now he's the Dolly Lama. Now he is. There you go.

That was one attempt where we died, we had to to restart and nobody said a word for maybe 35 seconds. What was it? Eric was feeling it and it was it was very didn't want to make him go deeper into the hole. I had to keep deafening and muting because it's not even like I was screaming. It's just that I needed a minute of like, he would deafen in the loading screen.

I just, I ran out of patience an hour and 50 minutes in and we had so much more to go. I'm excited to scrub through the file. I have so much fun when I make your thumbnails. I just download the video and then just scrub through it looking for an interesting death and going, oh, I wonder what that's about. Oh, there are plenty of that.
