This is episode 96.

My name is Jeff Ramsey with me as always. Andrew Patton, Nick Schwartz, Gavin Free, Eric Badoor. Hello. It's 96. Everybody understands their notes today? For the most part, yeah. What's the oldest note you have? Oh, fuck.

Great question. Let me look. I clear them out from time to time, but I also hold on to stuff. Is there an actor who has played as every different service member? There were a few odd couples. Fireworks are American. Go to original restaurants. Yeah, dude, I don't even know.

Bike brakes are swapped. No double anus. Shaving onto the floor. We're the meat men. Do you guys not have any memory of what those are for at this point? That's like five years ago. I think it's time to clear out some notes. Yeah, why keep it?

I think my oldest note is just Y2K movie. And that was about I watched the movie Y2K. And it's the first time in my life that I can think of where I watched a movie that was set in a time period that I experienced and had the realization that all of the actors portraying teenagers at that time had no concept of. weren't alive for.

And that was weird. And what is Y2K stand for? You too cool, I believe. Mm. Mm. Mm. M. Nailed that.

I believe it's you too. You too cool. Yeah. Yeah, too cool. Cool with a K? Year, year 2000. There you go.

We've talked about this. We've already done this bit. This is an old bit. You brought it up. I brought it up. the movie Y2K. I didn't bring up the what does Y2K me? That's Gavin. Well, I was trying to figure out

if you understood what the movie was, Ben. Of course I knew it. The plot of the movie is that it's a horror film and it's the night of Y2K and it's what happens if all the devices actually like turned evil and started killing everybody. But it was a weird thing to see

people in a time period that I remember being portrayed by people that would have no personal point of reference for it. It made me feel old in a unique way. What year were you born? 94. And I remember, I remember Y2K fondly because I was watching Triple X on New Year's, I think two years before it came out. And so, it's, memory is weird.

Because I definitely feel like, I wonder what part of that is wrong. Do you think, like, I never thought about, like, I feel very strongly that I remember going to the grocery store and getting cherry Coke and it being an exciting thing for, 2000. But I also remember Triple X and that's clearly wrong. So I feel like I may have just at some point those memories conjoined in a way that's dishonest. But I think I may have got Cherry Coke on that night. I feel more, I feel strongly about that. Do you think it's possible that you're misremembering us being at the same pinballs? No, absolutely not. Oh, that's a lot. haven't. 100%. There are multiple pinballs. I can't forget an experience in which you laughed at me. Why did I laugh at you again? Because I held the light gun like a real gun and you thought,

you and Caleb both thought that was ridiculous. But wait, what was I expected you to do? I don't know. Oh, I bet it would still make me laugh if I watched you do it. I'd be like, oh, I know what I was laughing at. We should see if we can replicate it. I think you thought I was. I thought I was, was positioned, I think it was just, I was holding it like a real gun. Do you mean like with triggered discipline and refusing to point it at anybody and like treating it with respect or? No, I just like, I think I maybe gotten to like a little bit of a stance. It's like a natural stand and then holding the gun with both hands and pointing at the

screen. I don't know. I think, I think Gab, what it felt like to me at least was that you guys were like, this guy's being a little bit of a try hard with this light gun. Did you think like I was making fun of you or did you think that I just found it funny? I think it was both. I think you were laughing at me directly in action I was doing. So I think it's undeniably making fun of me.

But also, I didn't think like on the terms of, it would be a low. It'd be low on the ranking of making fun of. I took no offense to it. I'll be honest. I'm glad to hear that I was already comfortable enough to make fun of you. I don't know if you. could have contained it. Oh, well, I feel like I need to know someone pretty well to, like, just make fun of them for no reason. You just started giggling. And I was like, oh, what am I supposed to do?

I'm fighting terrorists here. I got to, I got to deal with this. Is it possible? They were just laughing because they were remembering a funny joke from earlier in the day and you took it to mean they were laughing at you? Uh, I don't, you know, I can't rule that out, I guess, but it definitely did not feel that way. They were probably laughing about a, all the screen cheating Caleb like to do. Damn, you're really holding on to that one, huh?

Jesus. God damn, Jeff. It's a good thing. You figure, you know, it happened. Circle back around that same evening because I got the laugh

at watching Gavin throw a ball and him having the weirdest throwing position. Was I shooting some hoops? No, you're throwing like a, it was like

a clown-cilling thing, yeah. Yeah, the clown-killing thing. And I was like, hey, he throws funny. And then you just were hitting everything. And I went, God, like, internally, I was like, I can't even make fun of this because you're doing well. It's just, it looks funny.

I go for 100% power. But when there's so many clowns, you're bound to hit one of them. You hit a lot of them that evening. You were locked in. That was a good night for you as far as clown killing. I would love to redo this night at Pimbles. Just do all the same stuff. Just see what happens.

I wonder if I still got it with the clowns. trying to think of everything we would have played. I think we did a light gun game. I think we played a time crisis. I think we maybe played a pinball. Do you think you could forensically recreate the timeline so that you guys could retrace every step? Ooh.

Do you think you remember it that well, Andrew? Especially if you get Caleb involved? I think I would probably be the one that remembers it the most based on Gavin not having any awareness that the event even occurred. And I think Caleb has a kid in like actual life thing, so I'm sure he has deleted this experience outside of being aware it happened.

Plus there's no screen for him to look at to cheat off of, so you have no idea. Share my screen, share my work. He's not used to having to remember stuff. I remember there was a person who was working there that recognized Gavin and Caleb was very excited about it. I remember the night ended with me trying to use that key game. You know where like you can win a prize, you have to get the key in the slot or whatever. Yeah, and you think it's all about skill, but really it's just going to wait.

Yeah. As I put the money in, the guy running over like a, like he was trying to stop a bomb thing or like alert us, being like, no, it's not primed yet. It's not, don't, don't do it. And then I lost it. It's not ready. Like, I guess someone just won something, so it's just going to be a while. Yeah. Yeah, tried to save me from wasting the last of my money.

I played a lot of that coin pusher, the Wizard of Oz one. I think I can retrace all my steps. There is definitely a point in which Gavin, Caleb, and Jack went and did their own thing while I locked in on a coin pusher. You think they were smoking cigarettes out back by the dumpster? I mean, I can't rule it out. I don't know where they went necessarily. You can rule out.

The big kids went outside to do grown-up stuff. I think so. I put, it was a thing where I put $20 in the coin pusher and didn't understand that that was, that was a commitment at that point. Which I didn't mind. I love a coin pusher. Me too, man. That's my game. There's a coin pusher coming out as a video game that's like a raccoon coin pusher thing and I'm so excited for it.

Endlessly playing. Eric, you just showed off a piece of a coin pusher on the break show, right? I did, Jeff. It did. I did. There's a coin pusher called Disco Fever that I think I've talked about on this show before

that I would always play at Pinball's even now and I love it. It's my favorite thing there. It's constantly broken. Friend of the show Robert Sears who works at the pinballs said, hey, I fix all the machines here. And I said, can you fix Disco Fever? And he said, don't ever fucking say that name to me again.

They dismantled it, got rid of it, He gave me a piece of disco fever that is now on the set of the break show. It is the piece there in the middle that says coin splash, the jackpot, like the lights and everything. He gave me that piece off of disco fever. So it lives on with me. There's a working one at the original pinballs, but all the other coins, they're all gone, man. I love disco fever. There is something so funny about seeing a completely empty coin pusher.

Like, I would love to put one in a public place and see if anyone put a coin in, just to start it off, just to be like you get Samaritan. What, just watch one, the coin just lands and they go, yeah. So what is this? Like, you know, you're not going to win, but, you know, you're starting it off. I like that. Like, wishing well. Hey, you said, Eric, that there is still a working one at the original pinballs? Yeah.

While we're traveling tomorrow, because we have a big day ahead of us tomorrow, we're going to do a couple of supplements. but then like drafty type ones, but then we're going to get into the car and we're going to go buy a record player and then we're going to go do an episode of Mall Talkers. While we're headed in that direction, why don't we drop by that pinball and do a let's play, me, you and Nick.

Oh, my God, I'd love to do that. Oh, you're going to have to be more than that. But yeah, dude, that's awesome. Hell yeah, I think that's great. I love this idea. Or maybe we'll do it on the way home because they might not be open yet. But yeah, yeah, that's true.

Yeah, this is great. And then retrace mine and Andrew steps. Oh, wow. That's great. We can just make it up because it doesn't really matter and you don't remember anyway. You know what? I can do it outline. Nick will, I think, how you feel about smoking cigarettes, Nick, with the adults through you.

Nick wants to do it so bad, but he won't. I'm proud of you, Nick. Good job. Thank you. Protect me from myself. Exactly. I think I played a fighting game and I got destroyed. I think I played Marvel versus Capcom.

too. That's such a good memory. I remember I played the guy that worked there and it felt very much like interrogation but a very polite interrogation. You played against the guy who worked there?

Yeah, he was like hanging out and him and I played and I don't remember where Gavin and Caleb were. Maybe Gavin was playing pinball. And it was very much like, who are you? Who are you? And how do you? and how do you, what is your connection to these people?

And you said, someday I'm going to start a podcast with one of them. That's true. And he would have never guessed it was Jack. There's a game in these arcades where you have to drop 50 balls in a bucket in 30 seconds. And I can pretty much get the jackpot every time.

Oh, wow. That feels like a thing that you'd be good at. Yeah, I think I understand. Well, the thing is when you win, it brings the amount of tickets down. But I kind of want to just stay in a pinball. Winning on that game over and over again until I win a PS4 or something.

So do it. I've thought about that. I think I could do it. Yeah, let's do it. There's a guy that I follow on TikTok sometimes that does that. He'll just go on like the days where it's like double points and all this stuff.

And then he buys, he'll just play enough to buy like a new Xbox. Like, bam, that's crazy. With the chip shortages, though, you're going to encounter a problem where the price of that console is going to go up every time you visit the arcade. It's going to be an endless chase.

Do you think they're on top of it, though, with the amount of tickets it costs to win? I think so. I think they're on top of it. I think ticket inflation through the roof. They got it. They got it. Every morning, they check it.

Ram went up another 4%. We got to raise the price on this old-ass Xbox slim. We still have it. I was just thinking that. I wonder how often prizes like that are claimed. I wonder if it becomes sort of like a weirdly, actually it becomes a good deal sort of thing. You know how like the launch line of PS3s have full backwards compatibility for PS2 and PS1, but they remove that across further iterations of that console?

Like if they got a launch PS3, that then is just in the arcade forever because nobody is specifically going for that prize. Like it's interesting how the value of some of these pieces of tech can change. And then there's one person walking in who's like, oh, you can install Linux on that one. Hell yeah. Oh. Can you see if the code on the back has a Z? Starts with a ZYN?

Yeah. I have one of those PS3s, and it's maybe the most well-maintained thing I own because I'm so scared of it dying. Is it also because you never played anything because there weren't really any games on PS3? You know what? I bought it specifically to play PC3.

PS1 and PS2 games. I bought it maybe like a year and a half ago, two years, and I just, I'm scared to you. Also, they have the worst, um,

uh, encryption for, they don't want you capturing HTML off that console. So I have to, it's a whole set up. It is so, yeah, it is such a hassle to run through.

You need essentially like a a HTML splitter. And so it's like reading people that are passionate in that community about that thing being like, no, you got to buy this one. Well, I bought this one off of Amazon, and it didn't work.

And it's like, there's slight differences in the, it's ridiculous. I thought, I bought it largely being like, well, this would be great for content for work. And then all of the additional hoops having to go through to just make it capture. I was not aware of when I got it. But you've, you've gone above and beyond for content before. But you may, didn't you do like a guitar hero with an egg or something? Yeah, I wanted to do, it's so funny you bring that up. I wanted to record a video of that, a supplemental.

Of, like, calling it, like, from the vault where we just do a watch-along. Oh, that's fun. We should have to have it. Yeah. So, could we call it guitar hero with an egg? Whoa. Thank you, thank you. Didn't you just make that joke?

I did. Because I was writing it down, and I saw it written, and I went, oh, my God. And I was excited. Yeah. I like that you've never eaten an egg, but you play guitar hero with one. What's the hell? is a controller. What are you doing?

I really like the idea of controllers that were breakable. So that was sort of part of my pitch. Didn't go with edible, with breakable. I like that.

All controllers are breakable. Well, like the, that's also like I pitched egg jeopardy. And that was sort of the basis of my idea of what that would be was, yeah, the concept of you hear these contestants say like they got a buzzer.

quick and there's like a whole strategy to the buzz in and the concept of you want to try to hit the buzzer as fast as you can most likely with a lot of force but if you break the buzzer then you just can't buzz in so my concept sort of was like the idea of this breakable buzzer where if you break it you can't answer questions until you replace it with a new egg can i make you a controller out of three eggs where i basically just put the PCB of a normal Xbox controller you'd have two eggs is like the handle bit and like a mid-egg with the guide button on on that. And can I give it to you and have you play the game that frustrates you the most? Ooh, I'm all for this. I feel like I need to evaluate how my cats feel about eggs. Because I don't know. That is such a

strange consideration. Shut the door. I, well, no, I like them being able to walk around. Yeah? I don't want to block them out. And you're afraid if they're sorry, if they're saw an egg, it would be catastrophic to their psyche in some way? Well, no, I just don't want them to break it. Like, they might, they might want to play with the egg controller. But it's in the shape of the drawer. Yeah, they put it on the floor. No, I have it on my desk, but...

What haven't you had? Well, but I'm going to sleep eventually. Put it in a drawer. Put it in your filing can. File it away for future use. Do you really dislike dismantling time at the end of a task? Tidying away?

Hmm. No, I don't think I have opinions on that. And I do. Like, what do you mean specifically? Well, it sounds like it's going to be a lot of hassle for you to stop playing with the air control and then put it away. You're going to just put it on your desk?

Oh, yeah, I just, I think I related to all the other controllers that I use are on my desk. Treat this one controller differently. Treat this one like eggs. Yeah. Put it in the fridge.

I could do that. That actually might be where I store it. Yeah. Probably you should be where you store it. Do you? Yeah, they do. Never mind. I'm not. I'm not. Oh, what was that going to be?

I was thinking about them expiring. Yeah. How long would I have before they expired? You go quite well. Depends. A couple weeks as long as you're keeping it in the fridge. Maybe as long as a month. And then even if an egg expires,

as long as you're not opening it up and trying to eat it, you're fine. Yeah, you just have to be more gentle with it because you don't want to break it in your room. Oh, no. The stakes become higher, the older it gets for how nasty it would be. Could get getting it, yeah. Oh. Gavin, I think you have a hell of a subscription service here.

These egg trollers. People breaking them, having to get new. ones. I will say I was at Emily's parents' house last summer and I needed eggs for something and they don't eat a lot of eggs and I asked them if they had eggs and her dad brought me a thing of eggs

and I opened it up and the egg was weird on the inside like kind of like congealed. What is that mean? I don't know. It was like a membrane that when I cracked the egg you couldn't. It was so hard I had to like I don't know. I had to like separate it with my fingers and I was

like this egg is not right. But there was no smell, right? It was just that the egg was very wrong, and this is in August, and Emily looked, and the eggs expired in February. So, they had just been, like, in the back of their fridge and they'd forgotten about them, but I will say there was zero egg odor when I cracked that egg open. Like, I, you would think it would be, like, heinous, but the only way I knew it was bad was just because it was weird consistently. I wonder if, if you graft the foul stench of an egg, it, like, goes up and then back down. It's possible. Like, almost, It's like a rock of interest sort of diagram on egg stending.

Which is not a graph. I discovered, when I was a latchkey kid, I discovered making food for myself after school one day that if you burn an egg in the microwave, it is the worst smell on earth. So I would go to my friend's houses and burn eggs in their microwaves. Just sneak into their kid.

They'd be playing video games and I'd go into their kitchen and I'd put an egg in the microwave. suddenly the house would smell bad. And we got so into it that at night, we would save up and buy a dozen eggs. And then we would go around the neighborhood in any house in Florida. This is in Florida that had their fireplace open and going.

We would throw, it was in the winter. We would throw eggs into their fireplace. Like down the chimney? Yeah. Which mostly meant we would just smatter the side of a chimney with eggs. There's no way. There's no way. There's no way you got a single egg to go all the way down.

I don't know that we ever did, man. But we sure tried. I'm surprised you put them in the microwave, because I've... They explode. Yeah, no, you can make like... You can make like scrambled eggs and stuff. I used to do all kinds of shit when I was a kid.

Oh, so it's out of the shell. Yeah, when I was like 10 or 11. I never experienced one of those exploding eggs like you see on TV. Yeah, if you just put in a bog standard raw egg in the shell, you could blow the door open. You could fuck somebody up. Yeah.

Should try it. You're not selling me on eggs. Oh, can we do that in the office? Oh, oh, what if we get four microwaves, right? It'll be like the egg sandwich except we're all holding microwaves at each other with an egg in. We should not

we shouldn't play with radiation. Well, it's in the microwave. Until it explodes, which is the thing that you're hoping for. It would just blow the door open and then it turns off. I don't trust that it would turn off. I don't trust, yeah, this is, none of this sounds good.

We can do it. We can do it. just letting you, I'm just, I'm airing my grievances now. It's not radioactive. It's just, it could burn you. That's it. Oh, oh, okay. That's fine then. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Great. Well, wear face shields, hold them at like crotch height and just stand in a square. Oh, it's going to be brilliant. I'm 100% on board with this. Well, I guess in, in that vein, I do want to congratulate you for selling out of the give dumb a try shirt because it feels like

this is right up that alley. Oh, do we sell a house? go. Yeah. Oh, congratulations. Yeah, way to go. That's awesome. Oh, wow. Thank you to all the people who gave Dumma try. We really do appreciate it. Yeah. Thanks, Gavin. Couldn't have done it without you. It was, I mean, it was really just dusting off a decade old idea that we'd already had.

Yeah. But nobody needs to know that. So, Nick, cut that part. Oh, okay. Could Dilbot be in the middle of the egg circle and you guys are microwaving showdown? Absolutely. I think he should be. Yeah, it's got to be. I'm worried that the office circuit breakers won't be able to handle four microwaves being on at the same time.

Oh yeah, there's no way. We might need to plug one into each room. It's okay. I just renewed our lease. We're set there for another year. Sweet. Yeah, I also don't trust that even plugging them in in different rooms means they're on different circuits.

No. Is there a dryer in that place? Yeah, I think there is in the garage. to the Port-a-Potty, yeah. There'll be some baked potatoing in there. Oh. Oh, yeah. I mean, if you come and eat it, sure.

Put Dilbot in there. Where are my gloves? Come on, heat. Winter is hard, but your groceries don't have to be. This winter, stay warm. Tap the banner to order your groceries online at voila.ca. Enjoy in-store prices without leaving your home. You'll find the same regular prices online as in store.

Many promotions are available both in store and online, though some may vary. Getting ready for a game means being ready for anything. Like packing a spare stick. I like to be prepared. That's why I remember, 988 Canada's Suicide Crisis Helpline. It's good to know, just in case. Anyone can call or text for free confidential support from a train responder anytime. 988 Suicide Crisis Helpline is funded by the government in Canada.

Because you renewed the lease, Jeff. Yeah. Does that mean we should just finally move the bog? Yeah. Yeah. Let's do it. Okay. I think we should stream it.

I think it's a great idea. When do you want to get it in? Gotta get you in the country. When do you want to do it? Next week? Okay, sure. I'll see you there. A lot of confidence in the way he said that.

So much confidence in the way he said next week. Yeah, a ton of confidence. I love what we have an idea that's so stupid that, like, the internet hasn't considered it. I just Googled, can you cook a baked potato in the dryer? And it has an AI response immediately, and that's the only, like, I was scrolling to see what it was sourcing from. And it's just, yeah. While you cannot cook a baked potato in a closed dryer, you can definitely make a perfect one in an air fryer. and then it gives instructions

on how to do it. And then this video shows you how to make a delicious and crispy baked potato and air fryer. And then it has some like notes about it, like some stats, key tips.

And then at the bottom, it just says, note, do not use a closed dryer for cooking food. I'd like to see where that note is cited from. Yeah, I don't, I click where it looks like

it's cited from and it's just an easiest air friar baked potato video. So like, this is AI is wrong about everything, so I think this means that it will definitely work. Oh, hey, by the way, guys, while we've been sitting here speaking of notes, I figured out my note. I know what it meant. Oh. Bike stuff, which I wrote down, wasn't a note. It was a title

for the notes below it. I just confused myself because I didn't put a colon or put it in bold or give any indication that it was anything different from the other notes. I went for a bike ride this morning, old school style. Back in the old days when I would say, like, I'm going to go for a bike ride. I'm going to write that everything I noticed. Then I'm just going to give you all my bike noticing.

I tried to redo that today. Not a lot going on in Austin today, unfortunately. But I did discover a few things. Would you guys like to know what's happening on the streets right now? All right. So at 8 o'clock in the morning, in the Austin fitness crew, you know, the hike and bike trailers, the people that are out there bettering themselves,

half of all dogs are now golden retrievers. I don't know what is going on. The Doberman Renaissance is over. Every other dog is a golden retriever. Now, I know it's a popular breed. I'm very familiar with golden retrievers. But it is like they're multiplying. They are getting out of control.

I swear to God, there were at least 100 golden retrievers on the trail today. Do you think each year has a different prominent dog? Yes. I think it does. 2026 supposed to be the year of the French Bulldog, I think. but it is clearly not in Austin. I think you're immediately seeing the impact of

Airbud coming out. I think people are hyped about this new airbud releasing this summer and they're all in. It's possible. What? There's a new airbud? Yeah, this summer.

Not only is there a new airbud. Okay, now hang on. Now hang on. It says airbud returns and it's the dog. There's no fucking shot. that's the dog. That dog's dead.

That's a dog. Right, but returns, returns is a... You know what? It's so fucking smart, Eric, that they're... Well, it's fictional. First of all, this is a fictional story.

So, I mean, Airbud was never real. Everybody was always multiple dogs. They replaced Triple X, for Christ's sake. They can't replace the dog. It's true.

But he came back. Yeah, I was gonna say he came back is the dog coming back? This is what they did. Maybe. Listen, I'm, I'm tapped in. to the dog movies, animal movies by this company.

They've done two things, which are hilarious. The first, it is on a weird platform where you could invest in the film as like a, it's like a stock thing. It's not an NFT thing, which they also experimented with. Like a Kickstarter? No.

Do you remember, what was that one that Psychonauts 2 eventually launched on as a funding campaign? It was like a thing where you can invest money and technically own part of it and could get money back based on how it sells. So are you suggesting we become part owners in the Airbud franchise? I'm not suggesting it. I am saying I looked at it and I looked into it and looked at all the different tiers and decided that seems like a headache of trying to figure out how this would work with taxation and all that.

I'm not even going to really consider it. What's the top tier? I think you get like a full producer credit you get like invites to the premiere What's it worth? I think it was like $10,000 I want to say I'll see if I can find it I'll pull it up in a second

Cheaper than a melting pot While I look at the tiers for that The other thing that they did Which is I think actually incredibly smart Is they put out a call for people on social media being like, hey, do you have a, you a TikTok dog and you want to be in the Airbud movie? Let us know. So I think it's just going to be filled with internet dogs that people already like.

I think that sounds cool. It appears to be as the winners of whatever their contest was are Charlie and Summer. Charlie ends. Wow, they got both of them. Yeah, guys, they got both of them. Also, this movie filmed in Vancouver. Yeah, all their movies are filmed in Vancouver. Oh, I'm sorry, yeah.

Oh, we got to get you on as an extra on one of these movies someday. That would be, yeah, that'd be pretty cool. Like, I'm sure we could make that happen. You know what stupid is I, my brain immediately went, I think it would be funnier if it was a Dilbot gaming. We got a kid, Dilbot as an extra on one of these movies. The idea of like they show the crowd and there's just a Dilbot, Dilbot riding through a street in the back

I think you're starting to see yourself as Dilma what do you see when you look at the mirror I think you're more Dilvat than Andrew at this point more Dilbot than man It's the giant Dil Can I ask potentially a stupid question Of course That's what the show is

Can you see Vancouver from Vancouver Island Yeah, yeah you can interesting. It was cool. Like being able to see across is fun because I had the first house I grew up in, I could see like the ski lights for Whistler. So it was kind of fun. Very far away, very distant, but like you could make them out.

It's kind of cool to look across and see different like larger landmark type things like that. I would love it if there was like a, uh, kind of like a variant of Dilbot, like a Dilboat. It would be so cool if you could cross over. We can make one? Yeah, we could get a... I have a little remote-controlled boat that Emily got me for Christmas.

I don't think it would hold a Dillbot, but we could get a bigger one that would. And we just need to somehow have it be controlled over the internet. Stick a phone in the boat. Yeah, but how's it actually gonna interact with the boat? Do you think you can drive your car

if you leave your phone in it? Yeah, just like, yeah, maybe a little bit. You listen to music. car play so listen we've got some we've got some hurdles to to jump but that's okay we will

we can accomplish this I was thinking about this Gavin do you think you could like improve the dilbot via 3D prints do you think there are things you could like attachments we could do yeah I could certainly help you hold stuff I don't think you'd be able to

I mean I could put a knife on you for sure okay I don't know if that'll help me with the but maybe I could threat the waves to get me a certain direction. When you get mad, you turn from Dilbot to Killbot. We were going to do that thing with a knife drones, weren't we? I feel like we could just stick you in the middle of that with a knife and see if you could take that any of the drones.

That's another note from today. I meant to write down. Thank you. Thank you. Shane messaged me and said he wants to do it, so we can do it with Shane. Okay. I want to do more dangerous stuff in the office. I don't. I disagree.

I agree with Gavin We got a whole new year What type of dangerous stuff are you thinking? Well, the knife drones, the microwave and egg microwave roulette Oh, what if we don't know who's got the egg? Oh! What is that?

What does that mean? Someone places three empty eggs and one real egg in four microwaves, and then we have to pick our microwave. What is an empty egg? Egg. I was like a fake egg without the shit in it. Plastic egg?

Oh, a plastic egg? No, and you never, like, you'd have a blown out an egg? Oh yeah, you get like a cascaronis. No. You get a what? Cascaronis? What did you say? Yeah, cascaronis.

Like from Easter. Yeah, from Easter. I don't know that Nick is helping, but he's saying the thing you're saying. I'm not familiar with this. They're filled with confetti. Yeah, like paper now. They're filled with confetti. Yeah.

Smash them on each other. Oh, I'm not, I'm, no. You never had Easter? I'm not familiar with a Cascarones, no. I feel like you'd be all over that. They're all over H-E-B. Huh. Yeah, but you can, if you stick a pin in the tip of an egg

and a pin in the opposite side, you can blow the egg out. Yeah. Oh, I didn't know that. I'd never done that. That's how you make Cascarones. Yeah, kind of put that together now. This was so hard to find. I found the Wii Funder for Airbud Retroids.

That was the site that it is on. We funder. We funder. Highlights. The Air Bud Air Buddies franchise has generated 500 million in gross revenue. Robert Vince has produced all 14 Air Budd Air Buddies film and a total of 49 features slash film series. Our studio Aribut Entertainment is vertically integrated. Okay, whatever.

Tell me you the perks. Let me know the perks of this thing. So I'm sorry. Did you just say there have been 49 Airbud properties? I think he's at 14. 49. 49 he said 49. 4-9? That's legit.

Oh my God. So this will be the 50th Airbud vehicle? It will be. Yeah, based on this. Okay, they're giving reasons to invest. We should do a fucking Patreon-only series where we have to watch every second of the AirBud franchise. Oh, man. I like there was

there's one with a dog, like a Jack Russell or like something like, I don't remember. the dog. But it's a dog and he's a wrestler and uh, slam town, mayor of slam town's in it. Yeah, Johnny uh, Johnny wrestling, yeah. How, uh, how many people out there do you think can say they've seen all 49 airbud films, television shows? I don't even know if Robert Vince has seen all 49. We could be the first. We could be the first. They have an image on there

as part of this that says a massive market opportunity. In the past three years, nostalgic family films have dominated the global box office. Have they? I think they have, but like, I don't know if you can really equate AirBud as a property to what they're sourcing. It is the three films, they're referencing, the live action Little Mermaid movie, the live action Mufasa, the Lion King, and the live action Lilo and Stitch, and then it's a poster of the next Airbud. I don't, I love Airbud I don't think it quite holds the same weight as

the Lion King, Lilo, and Stitch and the Little Mermaid. But what if it does? Oh, that's why you got to invest. They have lofty goals. They speak family. Airbud is everywhere. None of those other franchises have spawned 48 sequels.

Okay, I found it. The investor perks. Are you ready? Yes. Uh, this is structured in a very weird way. Okay. For $250, the cheapest. Play from the heart investor. For the nostalgic superfan who believes in AirBud's uplifting message,

you get exclusive behind the scenes video updates. Entry into the raffle, two tickets to the world premiere of AirBud Returns, membership in the AirBud Family Legacy Network. Those are your perks at 250. Does it explain what the AirBud Family Network is? No, no explanation. Next here. 1,000 Timberwolves investor.

If you believe a dog can play basketball, you better believe you can win. Special thanks and tail credits. A limited edition Timberwolves jersey from the movie personalized with your name. All perks from the lower tiers. We now reach the final tier, which is a $10,000 tier called

Ain't No Rules investor. Inspired by Ain't No Rules says a dog can't play basketball. Exclusive tickets to the world premiere of Airbud Returns, four tickets, an advanced numbered script signed by Robert Vins and paw printed by Buddy, a limited edition Airbud Returns Investor Gift Pack poster plus merch, all perks from the lower tiers. So essentially the largest investor, you get to go to the premiere.

Pretty shit. Here's what I'll say about the $10,000 investment. We knew a kid named Lannon who made a $10,000 investment to come spend a day with achievement Hunter. He did the $10,000 what was that movie you were in Gavin? Laser team, sorry. Laser team. He did the $10,000 laser team investment, spent one day with Achievement

Hunter, went home and became an international superstar more successful than all of us put together. So, ergo if we became, I know we're not going to, but if one were to become a $10,000 investment investor in Air Bud, they could become the next

laser being, potentially in that arena. It's possible. Something to think about. I would like to think that he went and realized, oh, oh, I can do this. Like, it wasn't that he learned anything. The learning was like, oh, this is, this is so much easier than I thought. It's what he told me. He said, I saw you guys doing it. I went, this isn't hard at all.

And I went home and I became super successful. I don't think you needed to come that to figure that out. I don't think he did either, but I'm glad he did. Otherwise, I wouldn't have this joke. There's sort of like a mysticism to like a thing that you enjoy. And then going behind the scenes on it and being like, oh, Okay, this isn't the magic that I thought it was

behind the seats. This is actually pretty doable. Exactly what I looked like. He wasn't even the first that did that. Scene Nanders was the same way with us. Diculous. Just spawning people more successful than us, left and right. You know, it isn't going to be successful this year.

Is Mario Party March? Why is that? Because it's moving to April. You want to explain that, Andrew? I, uh, my, my building needs repairs and I am going to, uh, be forced to leave, it seems, for several weeks. So I am not going to be able to record in the environment that I'm heading to. Don't need to. I need to record audio.

Yeah. He's got you there. I don't have a laptop. We went over this. Have we? Is, am I having deja vu? We can get it. We can get a laptop so fast. They got so many laptops in Canada. We could get a laptop. It's just, I'm, it's a lot of, it's very stressful. I don't know exactly how long I'll be out for.

I need to find pet friendly accommodations. Living in a smaller community, surprisingly, not a ton of Airbnb options that would fit the needs of what I have to have. So, oh, come and stay with me. It's true. Well, you're leaving, right? I don't want to go to America. I'm not in America.

Yeah, I know. But you're leaving in like three days when we're recording this. Yeah. You're back home by the time that this comes out. I'll change my flight. I'll change my flight. No, I can't. My cats get nervous.

If there's an egg in the room. They might try to kill it. We don't know that definitively. I don't think they can handle the trip. I don't think I could do that to them. Well, yeah, you wouldn't. You'd have to leave the cats. I assume they'd be quarantined for months.

Oh, that's true. Six months, Gavin. I don't think I could do that. Just so everyone's aware, at the time of this recording, it is still February. We've only just sort of sussed a lot of this out to see how long. We also don't particularly know how long Andrew's going to be out. So we're pre-recording some episodes just in case and just doing all the recordings we can in the off chance that it's going to be weeks and weeks of not having Andrew.

So that's why Mario Party March is dead. And that's why long-lived Mario Party, April. You'll be able to join us every day on Patreon at patreon.com slash the regulation pod to watch one turn in Mario Party all April long. Oh, I've got it. We'll send an outside broadcast news van to park outside wherever you are, soundproofed with a laptop and a mic, can move into that. Popping there every morning.

Play a little game of America. That makes sense. Yeah, that's great. So join us all April long for Mario Party. We think. Who knows? It's an evolving situation. Once they get into Andrew's place and start ripping walls out, God knows what they're going to find, you know? They're going to be like, there's 70 pounds of pancake batter in these walls. We don't know. This tub is in disrepair.

No. And I would say, because there's five of us and only four people can play, I would just be like, well, just replace you. But we can't replace Dill. No, no. I feel the same way. I feel the same way. I was late in the charge on replace the deal. Yeah, it's way stronger to have Andrew than me.

I'm very aware of that. Andrew, completely not your fault. Incredibly unfortunate. I think you have all of our sympathy. We're going to bend over backwards to help you and do everything we can to make it as painless as possible. Because I know how disruptive it can be to have to leave your home with pets. and for an unspecified amount of time. So don't worry, we are in your corner.

I appreciate that, Jeff. I would like to ask, how much has this fucked everybody else? Oh. Pretty good. How bad are you fucked up? I'm not really, like, I'm moving some stuff around,

but it's not, you know, it's not, there's no end of the world situations here. I really like postponing stuff too. Because stuff starts stressing me out more as it's drawing closer and to be like, oh, I'm going to have to do that the month after. Wait, you like postponing stuff? No, I agree.

Oh, big time. I get where he's coming from. Absolutely. I hate that. Wouldn't you rather just do it? No. You'd be on the other side of it faster. Sometimes if it's not like all built in my head, I appreciate the extra time.

What needs to be built for Marty March? Well, not that. We've already filmed. We already filmed the first day somehow. We filmed the first day, which I think we should probably redo. No. No. No?

Absolutely not. You guys are crazy. We can't, Eric. It's going to be a month and a half long. And Andrew has said that he will remember all of it. He will remember everything from the first turn. Oh yeah? What do you remember?

Well, I can't spoil it, but I remember. Unless you want to take a moment to bleep it, I can tell you everything that happened. No, can I just jump in and say, Andrew just completely restored, like, like we created an afternoon. He's been in pinball. over a decade ago. I believe he remembers it. The memory man. Well, it's also a thing where you kept saying,

there's no way you'll remember it. And I was like, fuck, I really need to remember this. I need to run it through my head. I've had evenings where I've gone, okay, what happened? This is what happened here. Don't worry, Andrew. It's still February at the time of this recording.

So you have a full month to keep that memory locked in. Oh, boy. It's never too early to plan your summer story in Europe with WestJet from rolling country. side to cobblestone streets. Begin your next chapter. Book your seat at westjet.com or call your travel agent. Westjet, where your story takes off.

Are you worried that in your new location, you'll have a shittier tub, or like you won't be able to see a woman piss, or like just the things that you're used to. Oh, wow, I hadn't even considered those things. You're right. No closet dogs. No wheels on a bed.

A normal desk. Oh, I hope. Uh, I'll, you can't, you can't, show this, but it's funny you mentioned that because they're, I was looking at options. I guess you can't show this because I'm not going to stay there, but I was looking at different options. And there was a hotel that has a bathtub suite essentially. And it is so funny. I, uh, it is like designed to try to entice me to stay. I might, uh, outside of this experience at some point in the future, just maybe book an evening to get some high quality tub time.

Let me show you this room. Because it's a fine room. It looks like a pretty standard sweet type setup. But the, I don't know how else to describe it outside of, it looks like if I were designing a hotel, what I would think an essential room would be. But I don't know. I don't know if anyone else would value this in the same way I do. I'm pulling it up.

Sorry, this site is not easy to navigate. Okay, it's called a Coast Premium King Suite View with Soker Tub. Let me put a link in. So what they've done is instead of having the tub in like, well, there is a tub in the bathroom. It's a standard tub in the bathroom, but they've also added a giant Soker tub

and like what would be the living room of the room? The living room of the room. It's in front of the bed, there is just a giant soaker tub. What is a damn soaker tub? It's a tub. That's just a... Oh, I stayed at a hotel like that in Australia once. I think it's insane in a way that I love.

It's right in the middle of the room. It's in the middle. You walk in and... it's the bed and then like three feet to pass the end you are in Soaker tub area. And that's a TV. Andrew, you've got to stay there. It's on a platform. You're elevated. I'm not going to stay there for this, but like, I was going to laugh about high quality

tub time made me laugh. And then you show this and all it is is like, and look at, I just want to point this out, look at the bathroom here. this is the most piddly ass fucking tub in the bathroom. Absolutely pathetic. Disgrace of a tub.

This picture that I'm sending now is so fucking funny with the curtains drawn that is the craziest image. It's going to be so human in there. Andrew, I have a question

about you staying in a hotel room. When you go to a hotel, Do you travel with pillow mountain or do you call down to the front desk and ask for an additional six to chin pillows? I've never traveled with a pillow. It never even occurred to me to do that. So do you just suffer through with like two pillows or do you ask for more? How do you do it? I'm trying to think about like different scenarios.

I think I typically hotel beds have like some throw pillows and I just incorporate those like pillows that they don't intend. for use that are like... So you just make do. I mean, it's all minging. The first thing I have to do in any hotel room when we get there is to call down to the front desk for my wife and order two extra blankets. Two extra blankets every time.

Me too. Yeah. Even if there's already blankets in like the closet. Oh yeah, that's not. That's still not enough blankets. You still need two more. I just assumed you would call down and be like, can you send tin pillows up?

I think I would feel like a king if I did that. I mean, you're paying them. Yeah, but it's just something like putting a call out for pillow delivery feels like a level of extravagance that I've never even considered that I could ever possibly take advantage of. Try now. I think it's an amenity that's offered by the hotel. Yeah, I think you've got to treat yourself as well. Yeah.

Maybe some... You deserve it. You deserve it. You really do. I went stayed in a room that in the middle of the bathroom is a big black foot. What the fuck? Nick, have a look at that. Nick, check it out.

What are your thoughts on that, Nick? Why isn't it there? I don't know. And it was massive. I could have laid down on that if I was you. What? What? I got to stuck that one in.

That's good. Yeah, a good, nice little jab. Thanks, man. I think it was meant to be like a stool. Like you sit on the stump bit. Like on like the ankle? Yeah, like where it was cut off and there was no leg. And then do what?

Do you know? Tighter shoes. Play on your phone? I don't know. You sure it's not a toilet? You don't like dump into the foot? Yeah. No, I don't think so because I was dumping somewhere else.

Oh. What was that? L.A. apparently. The Western? No, that can't be right. It's probably a W. It seems like the dumb shit they would have. You know what?

What hotel... We're talking about hotels with tubs. You know what has a great tub? What hotel? Is the hotel that's connected to the Vancouver airport? There's a hotel in the airport? Phenomenal tub. You stayed at the hotel of your own airport?

Yeah. Because if I have an early flight... What? What? What? So if I have a flight at like 5 a.m. The next day... Uh-huh.

I will travel to Vancouver the day before, and I will stay in the hotel in the airport. How long does it take you to get to the airport? I mean, he's got to take a ferry. It probably takes a long time. Oh, oh, oh, oh. I forgot about the, I forgot about the ferry. But he doesn't have to take the ferry. Oh, interesting point, Gavin.

Well, didn't we find out that he could, he could just go to the airport? There are like several ways I could fly. But if I have a very early flight, I don't think those flights would line up. Well, just don't take that flight then. Sometimes it's annoying, though, trying to get to a place like Austin where there's not a direct flight. So you're trying to optimize the connecting flights. That's fair. So I go based on optimal connecting.

I've got to look for flights. What's that, what's their website that does all the airlines? Google flight Kayak Kiyak Orbits Google Bing

So you stayed at the Vancouver Airport Hotel it's sweet it's an awesome hotel because you can just

see all the planes come in and out it's like on it's in the airport and you just and you're pointing out I'm going that's gonna be me

someday I there are times where I've seen my gate like I'm sitting across from where my plane will be the next day

and that's kind of fun have you already gone through security Do you have to go through security when you leave the hotel? It's before you have to do anything security-wise. Okay. Wake up, check out, and then, yeah, you start your security process. I think it makes total sense, Andrew.

I don't think there's anything weird about what you're doing there. It is a luxury, so like it's like you have to factor it into my budget if I'm traveling, but like it's so worth it. It's so nice to be able to just relax and not have to scramble. Well, clearly you're saving money by taking a flight at 5.8. am, so you're just, yeah. This is the tub, though. It's incredible.

It is the longest tub I think I've ever seen in a hotel. Is it also next to the beds? What the fuck? What the hell? There's a viewing hole? Yes, a viewing hatch. But there's a viewing hatch.

So whenever I've stayed in here, if I'm staying with like family or whatever, I just get all cozy in the tub, pop open the view and hatch and just watch the TV from the tub. It's phenomenal. But it's where people can pass you the Xbox headset

they can pass you the bowl of the phone. Yeah, honestly, if I designed a house, this would be out of the question as far as is that I think you should design a house because I think it'd be fascinating. Oh, I would love to see Andrew's house design.

My valley of interest in Andrew's house design is one big rock standing all the way up. I think it would be like Homer Simpson's car. I agree. I agree. Well, that's what your GERPL look like. Yeah. That's fair.

Oh, yeah. These flights are dog shit, Andrew, from... Yeah, they're terrible. They're terrible. They're terrible. They're terrible. Nimo Airport. It's all like two stops, two grand.

God. Two stops. Fucking egg. To YVR and Denver. I mean, the other options is there's like a helicopter you can take and there's a sea plane. How much the helicopter? I don't know. I've never taken that as a...

I've used the seaplane before. I bet the ferry is very cost effective too. It's probably just like 10, 15 bucks or whatever. Probably makes a hell of a lot more sense to take the ferry. Oh, it's way cheaper. Why they just put a bridge on? There's always, that's the like thing that's talked about forever. People get heated about it because it's like,

always discussion about a bridge. It becomes a thing where it becomes convenient, but also the people that are on the island are like, all the Vancouver people will just drive over here. It's contentious. There's, I think, a weird gatekeeping of trying to make it sort of inaccessible. To the people of the same name. Yeah.

Absolutely, because they're not an island. There's absolute island elitism. There's a rivalry between Vancouver and the other bit of Vancouver. Yeah, 100%. The real Cubs White Sox, Yankees Mets kind of thing going on here. Yeah, exactly. In 2025, what are we, is this 25, are we 26? 26.

26. That's what I thought. Crazy. Just look at the bottom right corner. Oh, yeah, you're right. 2026. 2026. There's a lot of 26 is going on.

026? 026? 202602.226. Why did you have the date in like Japanese? I don't know. It's just how the computer is. You do year first? The computer does year first. Well, what?

No, it doesn't. I'll show my screen. Oh, God. You don't have to record this, Nick. It's not worth, it's just you guys are going to go, oh yeah, I'm wrong. Look, bottom right. Well, I believe that it could be done that. I just, I got to have a look.

bottom right that's weird why is it like that yeah it makes no sense what's your what's your region set to how do I find that okay let me see the

same adjust date and time do you have your discord full screen so you can't view your audacity recording oh do we why do I need

yeah to see if it stops to see if it stops I check some no I check sometimes I go like this but why you record your audio

like you wipe your ass It's unverified. No, I verify. I check. I verify now. Yeah, look, well, no,

I verify the audacity. You just, you still don't verify your ass. I just, I, I, I, I,

I, it's a layer of stress to live under. I don't understand why. Do you know, Andrew, that if you, if you take that,

uh, window, audacity there, see, yeah, just like, grab the top of it and just drag it all the way to the left. That's it like,

yeah, grab the very top, it's like top middle. Grab the app. What? No, no. Yeah, yeah. Always the top.

Grab the top. Grab the top. Grab the top. Yeah, yeah. If it's a handle. Yeah. No, no. The bar.

The bar. Where it says the freaking, right at the top. Right at the top, Andrew. Right at the top, Andrew. Are you here? No! No!

Go up. Okay. Okay. What are you doing? Right here? All the way up. All the way up. All the way up.

Slam it to the ceiling. All the way. Yeah. Yeah. Grab that. Click. Click it hold. Click it hold.

Drag it around. Can you move it? Okay, drag it all the way to the left. Slam it into the left wall. All the way to the left, all the way down. Keep going! No! Yes! Yes!

Now do it with audacity and slam it into the right. That's it. No, no, into the right wall all the way to the right. Bash it. There, no, yes. Perfect. This is ugly. I don't like this. You could all...

You could also get a second one out of there. I do, I just need to set it up. Oh, please do. I'm not going to set up because I'm going to have the tarp. Do you think they'll have tarps? Do I need to buy tarps? Oh, that's a great question. Why do you just stick it in a cup of it or something?

The egg controllers in there. What do you mean? Bag controller should better be in the fridge. Oh, shit. Yeah, you're right. Okay, I just ate in time. Time zone Pacific. Yeah, this is all right. Canada. Regents at the Canada.

That's how Canada does its date? Oh, maybe that's their... yeah. Is Canada date year first? Yeah, it's fine. Well, I know it's fine. I just didn't... Uh... didn't know they do. Country or region. Windows and Abs might use your...

Uh, okay. Yeah, I think you got it said right. Probably shouldn't just click indiscriminately here. Kind of making me nervous in the middle of a recording. Christmas Island? Yeah, I want to live there. That sounds fun. Jesus, my God.

It just sets the date to the 25th of December. I don't think you changed anything. I think they might also be on Canada time. Ah. I'll go back. Anyway, I don't know a bad idea. Is Christmas Island Canadian? I don't know.

It's just Christmas. I like Christmas. Where is Christmas? Christmas Island. How do you feel about this setup that you're looking at now, Andrew? It's Australia. I don't like it. You don't like it.

Is there a reason you don't like it? It's because it's different, and that's kind of like the reason? You know what? I would, this is what I would do. Okay. Well, oh, oh. Now I like it. Okay.

Because now it's close to me. He swapped them over. Yeah, I don't think there's a reason why you can't do that. And it's fine. I think that's great. All right. So. Get rid of that.

I don't know. There. Okay. So on my bike ride this morning, I saw a lady that pissed her pants. Whoa, Andrew, did you hear that? Time to end this podcast. How do you know she, you could like see the, the wet? Dude, dude, you know. Like, there's no, it was, yeah. She was wearing gray pants, like gray running pants. And it was dark and wet. And it wasn't even. Like, you could tell it was definitely, she was

running so hard, she must have just let it go. Crazy. The people in the morning are a different breed. If you show up at like between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m. to hit the town lake, go for a bike ride. The people that are jogging, they have like weighted vests and camelbacks and watches the size of iPhones and they're like they have like a thousand yard stare like they've been to Vietnam and they're so fucking serious. The people I'm used to dodging are just on Instagram. the whole time walking very slowly. Holy different world. But this lady must have been,

because she was like jacked. She must have just been running so hard. She was like, I can't fucking stop. I'm just going to, I'm just going to run through it. And it was shocking. I feel like I've often got a wet crotch in my life. What?

Well, not often, but many times in my life I've had wet crotch. And I would say less than 10% have been piss. And it's mainly just spills. I mean, I don't know what she was. spilling on the hike and bike trail in the middle of the woods, but maybe, I mean, maybe that's just how she sweats, but dude, it was fucking, it was like, whoa, caught me off guard. Sometimes I'm self-conscious if I spill on my lap, because sometimes the spill is too high,

than I would like for a penis to be pissing. Like, if it does look like I piss myself, sometimes it looks like my penis is like two inches long. Ideally, I want to spill like halfway down my thigh to be more impressive. Right, yeah, of course. That just makes sense. I had a, I also had an intrusive thought, which I haven't had one of those in a really long time.

One of those, like, just like little dickhead thoughts. But when I was riding, if you ever take the hike and bike trail in Austin, there is, there are periods where you go out over the water, these little, like, catwalks, kind of. And they're not super wide. They're very nice, but they're not super wide. And I noticed that people have been doing on this one spot, that thing where, you know, like,

I guess people that are in love or whatever will come and put a padlock on the side of a bridge. And then it's stuck there forever. And, like, in France, they have a whole bridge of it. There's like a place in Detroit that does a bunch of them, too. I saw a bunch of those today, and I thought, you could stop all traffic on that bridge for a significant amount of time

with eight padlocks and four lengths of chain from Home Depot. Just chain it up. It takes you about 30 seconds to just criss-cross from side to side just padlocked the whole thing and no bike or person's getting past

until somebody from the city has to come and cut it off. I'm not saying anybody should do that. As a matter of fact, I'm saying people shouldn't do that. But... What if you did it with just like 75 into linked padlocks?

You could do that too. If I was 19, I'd already be in jail for it. You could put 75 padlocks to make a padlock chain and then just dump all the keys beneath it. It's like the fucking, it's like the least dangerous saw puzzle to figure out. Oh, God. I also this morning, I saw two drones when I was on my bike ride at 8 a.m. on the trail. And I realized I don't leave my house and not see a robot or a drone anymore.

every day I leave the house I see a little robot delivery dude or a car or a drone I like that's just I guess a world that I live in now where every day of my life if I go away from home

I see robots in the wild Yeah Can't even avoid them in our office Can't even avoid them in our office That's true we work with one Are you allowed to just fly drones above Cities with people in them what's the drone rules

I don't think so I think you gotta get like drone licensed and stuff but there's always people with drones at the park dudes walking around with like VR headsets looking super cool Andrew Andrew finally stopped sharing his screen

just yeah calling that out real yeah what's an ultra thin external optical drive what do I do at this oh so you're like you're just like doing something else

now I just I just noticed it you want to like watch a DVD I don't know is that what it's for? An optical drive? It's like a disc. Oh, it's a disc drive. Okay.

Cool. Where's that? Yeah, where is that? It was on my fridge. What? I'm sorry? I was just, when the piss thing came up,

I realized with this group of people, there's nothing I can say that would be advantageous to me. So I just, I slid away from the mic for a moment to move something. You just left? Oh, no, I was listening.

I just scooted. I scooted. I scooted a foot to the right. And then you found a disc drive on your fridge. Ultra thin external optical drive. Where did it come from? Oh, no idea. But why do I know what it is, but you don't?

It's yours. Yeah, you bought it, didn't you? You'd assume so. Yeah. You need to, like, burn a CD or, like, rip a disc or something? What are you doing with it? I do need to watch the Denzel Washington movie Rikoschet, which is only available on physical formats.

But you'd surely pop that in a... an Xbox or someone, will you? Oh, I can't do that because it runs through my Algado. So it just blocks any type of DVD. So I guess that is why I would have got this. Okay. Wait, wait, wait. So instead of just, what, the 20, 26 seconds it would take to plug an H-TMI directly into your TV,

you bought an optical drive for your computer? Well, I also, I think, wanted to experiment with, like, trying to roll. run some old like disc base games that I had for the PC. There are multiple uses for this. Should have said I could have ordered your PC with a disk drive in it. Those don't exist now. I've looked. I've tried. You've tried? I went on this whole thing where I wanted a computer with a disc drive and you can't even get them anymore.

Sure you can. I don't think that's true. No, I'm with Andrew. I say you can't. I mean, it's not going to, you're not going to like build a PC on a website with one. but you just pop one in. You just buy one separate. Pop it in. Well, yeah, but I have to do the popping, right?

I would pop it for you. I could pop it and then ship it. I was just amazed that, like, I looked and, like, there's no company that makes a pre-built laptop with a disc drive since, like, 2012 or something. It's so antiquated, I guess.

I did do some research into this. But I have this now. I can just plug it in a USB thing. It's fine. You know, what really sucked is Rikusche showed up. on one of my streaming services I have in Canada to watch French only oh no way that's crazy it looked great is HD it's a Canadian service so sometimes the movies they

have the streaming rights for are only for in French so I have been tricked several times where I've went to watch a movie I was very excited to see and then went on there's not even English subtitles only French I've never even heard of that it happened with ricochet and it also happened the first time I tried to watch Rocky 5. French only. I mean, ricochet is a French word. They just took that movie off HBO Max, I think. He was on HBO Max here for a long time. Dang. Can you not just VPN to a country that has it streamed? I guess I could have with what we have set up now. But even that, it's annoying. Sometimes that stuff works. Sometimes it doesn't.

A VPN? No, like being able to watch other content libraries using a VPN. It's a huge headache. We're available in all markets. That's true. Very true. Oh my God. Well, there you have it. Regulation podcast available in all markets.

This has been episode 96. Thank you for listening. We'll be back next week to learn more about what it means to be Andrew. Thank you so much. Love you. Bye. Bye. I got to go move a TV.
