Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello and welcome to another episode of the Regulation Podcast. This is number 40. My name is Jeff Ramsey with me, as always. Andrew Panton, Gavin Free, Eric Madure and Nick Schwartz. Hello, boys. Off the jump. Let's just get it out of the way right now, because this episode's coming out, I think, two days before a GURPL-times day. We should just before Eric gets mad because we forget and let it slip
Starting point is 00:00:24 to the last three minutes of the podcast. Don't forget the Gurpalers coming out on Friday a, I almost said April, Friday, February 14th at noon central time, Gurpaltine's Day, we have 5,000 of them. There will also be some signs and a t-shirt reorder in there as well. I've won Mario Party at this point and I feel very good about it. Everything is right in the world. I'll tell you what didn't happen. I didn't get disconnected. I may not have won, but I was connected the entire time. It will be locked down at this point.
Starting point is 00:00:52 But checking in at the side vote at this current moment, seven hundred nine for the scrumping, four fifty nine for the Falcons. I am surprised. Hell, yeah. I'm surprised it's so big. I honestly I went with the scrumping because that's where my heart is But I thought Falcons would be higher. Well, we'll see We'll see what happens How was everybody's week since we last recorded a podcast I got injured in my sleep oh I thought it was a dream. Well go on face episode 6. sleep. Oh, I thought it was a dream. Go on.
Starting point is 00:01:25 Face episode six. Hell, yeah. I was sleeping and, you know, like when you're in that state of not knowing if you're awake or if it's like if that's real, like if it really happened or maybe you dreamt it. I had one of those. And for some reason, I decided to bring my elbow as high up past my head as I could. And I did that. And I felt like a tinge in my kind of shoulder blade area. And I went, oh, fuck, I'm 30 now.
Starting point is 00:01:53 And I think I need to be careful of how I'm stretching in my sleep. God damn it. And then I went to sleep again. I fell back asleep and thought nothing of it. Continued on for the day, then went to go to sleep the following evening. And upon laying down, it felt like I was getting stabbed in the back and I had to adjust.
Starting point is 00:02:16 I can't pull on things without pain. I don't know what I've done if I've like pulled a muscle or like strained a tendon in my shoulder. But I've been I've been on the injury report for the past three days. Hopped out of the tub yesterday, tried to dry off and went, oh, oh, when I'm doing the little shake motion with the towel or hurt. Anybody else get on the injury report from sleeping? Uh, no, I mean, Gavin's always on the injury. Yeah. How No, I mean, Gavin's always on the
Starting point is 00:02:45 injury report. Yeah. How's the gas situation, Gavin? Oh, I would say it's an injury that that's just something to wake up with and deal with and then it's fine. It's not an injury. It's just a way of life.
Starting point is 00:03:00 It's just a misery. Like if your roof has a leak and you just have to dump the bucket once a day, is that an injury? No, that's certainly, well, maybe to the house actually. I think it's exactly what it is to the roof. Yeah, it seems like something that should be referred, I mean, it's a bad analogy, right? Old time worst analogies. Yeah, cool. Too bad you don't have to get out of Greg Free Card because you could have definitely used it there. Yeah, I am stuck inside Greg. So did Andrew ever use his?
Starting point is 00:03:32 Oh, yeah. Andrew, going to use it for? No, it just wasn't as bad. The pitchforks were in a sharp as I thought. The only reason why I didn't use it is because I thought the funniest way to use it would be to have me interject right before the conversation happened in the episode. This be like, oh, stop. Everyone, the conversation, that's about to happen.
Starting point is 00:04:06 But I had that thought too late and I didn't want to like make that suggestion to Nick day of. So I was like, fuck it. I'll just whatever comes comes. I'll write it out. Why would you have to inform Nick about the Greg? Yeah. Because I wanted that edited into the episode at that. Oh, I wanted we would have the argument and then yes, remove it from the cut.
Starting point is 00:04:27 No, no, no, no, no, it wouldn't be removed. What would happen is I would like right before it would start new audio of me coming in would interject, be like, I'm stopping the episode for a minute. I'm playing the great card. Everything that precedes this argument, I'm safe for. So you have to use you have to fire up the time machine to use your Grad card I mean, that's not how our reality works. It's how the show reality would work. Yeah, so no Well sort of yeah, yeah, yeah, I see what you mean. Yeah. Yeah, you're right
Starting point is 00:05:00 Interesting I didn't realize it would it would use the time machine because so far I think only Nick and Eric have used the time machine. I know we've used it. You've used it? I think the three of us have used it when we were promoting the first Gerpler. I think you're right. That was the first time we used it. I think so. The three of us, yeah. We're just not known for using it.
Starting point is 00:05:20 No, we're not known time travelers. Eric and Nick are iconic time machine users. Yeah, but I'm happy to open that door if you guys want to become time machine guys yourself as well Just sort of like a whole show of people who can use the time machine, so it doesn't have to be me I'm fine with that. I feel like when I think about time travel I think about like a dinosaur with late like a laser contraption on its eyes and a machine gun and then Nick and Eric Can I can I use the time machine now to go back to the beginning of this conversation? Please don't. OK. Oh, wow. OK.
Starting point is 00:05:55 All right. I was going to say yes, but Nick said no. So I guess that's sort of let's see what happens. No, you know, look, look, if you want to hide the keys to the time machine, that's fine. Yeah. Nick, Nick drives it I just I'm along for the ride. You know what I mean? Nick do you want to use the time machine to go back and be less negative towards Gavin's idea? Will you use it to have a better analogy than if there was a leak in your roof? Is that the plan? You just tell me where you want to go Gavin. I want to go right before I made a really shit analogy about the week.
Starting point is 00:06:27 Absolutely not. Absolutely not. It's too close. The time machine has to go further back in time. They can't go that soon back. Sorry, man. It's like a limitation. Plus you don't have a Greg Free card.
Starting point is 00:06:40 That's true. What if I go back to the beginning of the time machine conversation and let everyone know that we're about to start talking about the time machine? Is that still too soon? I think you should use the time machine and be here on time. That would be great. High five Eric. Oh get him.
Starting point is 00:06:57 Oh wow. That was good. Was I not on time today? You were one minute late. Oh shit I apologize. And now that we sink at the beginning I feel like it really fucks up your whole showing up on time today? You were one minute late. You were one minute late. Well, shit, I apologize. And now that we sink at the beginning, I feel like it really fucks up your whole showing up on time thing, because you technically you need to be here for a sink. Also, Nick got weird today and want to sink without weird.
Starting point is 00:07:17 He's like, should we do the sink without Gavin? It's like I don't understand what that would accomplish. Nick, what do you think the sink is for? Nick, I took notes on this question from before. If you want, I'll give I got you. OK, OK, go ahead. But it's lining up audio clearly. Put all the tracks down and they all go at the same time.
Starting point is 00:07:38 Yeah, I can see at the beginning where everybody's countdown is. And if it's further in the track, it's harder to find. I, I don't I don't just mean to throw at the beginning where everybody's countdown is. And if it's further in the track, it's harder to find. I don't mean to throw shade at you, Jeff, but. Oh, please do, please do. Hell yeah. I had something happen to me in a game and GTA is playing by myself.
Starting point is 00:07:59 And I thought, oh, this is gonna be a funny story to tell. And I captured clips of it and I was like, well, this is, you know, podcast to be easier if it was a photo. And I went to look. I took the most Jeff photo of this story that I could have possibly taken. I was so disappointed in myself where this is the one image I took during this process.
Starting point is 00:08:22 It doesn't it doesn't explain anything that happened or what the issue was. It is so contextually just empty within the context of the story. It makes it. But it's just like even within knowing what I'm doing with this. It's like, why did I take this angle? What was there was just zero thought process. I was clearly panicking. I I was playing GTA five by myself, and I've been trying to do
Starting point is 00:08:54 these research missions where you go out and you have to steal something and then bring it back to your bunker and you can like unlock new upgrades that way of like different gun attachments or a heavy machine gun on a car type thing. And so for this one, I had to steal a tank that was like six miles away, but they let you have a cargo bob next to the tank so you could scoop it up. You can attach a clip to it and then fly it all the way to your bunker, which I did.
Starting point is 00:09:28 And it was great. It only took me like four minutes, except when I went to put it in the little yellow circle, I came in a little bit hot and the tank flipped upside down like two feet away from the circle. And I couldn't get into the tank. And I had to try to figure out how am I going to move this tank two feet just so I could wrap this up by myself. And it became a mass struggle.
Starting point is 00:09:54 I was trying to steal vehicles to ram into it. It wouldn't move it. I was like, how the fuck am I going to? It's two feet. Like, it's just two feet. And I got 20 minutes to do it. Come on. I called in as you can see in the screenshot, my ramp vehicle.
Starting point is 00:10:11 I thought I was very clever. Seven minutes into this 20 minute timer. I was like, I'm going to get the ramp vehicle and then I'm just going to scoop it up. It's going to launch over like everything else. It does not do shit. Didn't work at all. Just drive under it. Just bounced off of it like it did.
Starting point is 00:10:30 Really? Yeah. Like it didn't scoop it in any capacity. I could not figure out how to get this thing to move. And what's annoying about the tank, and I guess this is just how tanks work, is the heavy part is the lid and the part that you shoot. Like if you shoot the body of it, it just spins because it it it rotates around the head. Like it's the part you can't it's not solid.
Starting point is 00:10:55 Like it just spins in a circle if you make contact with the trucks when they're upside down. Like three 60s. It doesn't see. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So instead of the the blow of the impact going in a singular direction, all you do is you spin it either clockwise or counterclockwise, which makes it harder to push. I was I thought one of my solutions was maybe
Starting point is 00:11:22 maybe Gavin can help because I eventually came to the idea of I'm an alien blaster. And I don't know if any of you guys have that, but I know Gavin does. Yeah. Call me in. Well, I was going to. You're streaming with Meg. So I didn't want to interrupt that. So I was like, I'm fucked. But I kept trying. Took me 17 and a half minutes to move a tank two feet. I got there. I did it. It took me 17 and a half minutes to move a tank two feet.
Starting point is 00:11:45 I got there, I did it, I completed it, but it was just me constantly shooting this thing for like 17 minutes straight with an alien blaster. Is that how you did it, was shooting with an alien blaster? That's how I did it, and there was nothing else I could do to flip it, and I only flipped it, not like, I didn't even push it to the yellow, I was able to move it like a foot to the left and it just rolled over
Starting point is 00:12:07 because it's kind of on a hill going downward. Jeff, we've played a lot of the game. Should we both present our ideas for what we would have suggested? Yeah. Oh, you go ahead. I know what I would have used immediately, but you go ahead. OK, Andrew, I would have pulled up in the Batman rocket car and I would have just backed up to it and then just Blasted my jet engine. I don't have it. Okay, but I like the idea
Starting point is 00:12:33 Yeah, I do have that I could have I could have done that for you Gavin or Andrew I'd have been happy to I would have pulled up in my phantom wedge Which is the like 18 wheeler with the scoop front that will push through anything and I would have just nudged it with that It's got my nose on the front. I did That will push through anything and I would have just nudged it with that. It's got my nose on the front. I did Look at that. I didn't have enough cash. I considered trying to buy my way out of this problem But I didn't I was like four hundred thousand short That's wrong again. Yeah, I wish I could have loaned you the four hundred thousand I have a clip for this if you want to see that. Oh, yeah
Starting point is 00:13:05 Just as an example of the frustration that I was going through. Let me put a link here. It you'll see what I mean by where it spins. The trucks spin on this thing. It's very annoying. So this is just me. I'm trying to. Andrew, like it's right there and I'm trying to get it.
Starting point is 00:13:28 I'm just trying to scooch it a little bit. This is so I'm just trying to do this. So this is the how. Why don't you just redo the mission, man? I can't. I'm locked in and I'm like, it's two feet away. That little green bunker symbol next to the ammo That's where I got to get it. So I eventually decide I'm just gonna try to push it down the hill because it's closer
Starting point is 00:13:52 I mean this is worse might be yeah I'm getting I want you like five minutes from when he took the screenshot originally Just if you're listening to this just know the tank is totally upside down And it is teetering on the top part of the tank that spins and so he's just shooting it. It's kind of rocking back and forth, but literally inching to where it like this isn't right. It's like watching a seven year old try to move a refrigerator. So it's daytime when I started this mission in this context of how long I spent. This is me. So this is me so here's you fooling you're a maniac so this is when you
Starting point is 00:14:29 come in hot yeah great so I'm coming they're chasing me and you're gonna see that it was a problem this whole mission had problems to it yeah everything's wrong with this mission with this mission. Oh my god! Andrew! Thought I was being very sneaky. You're flying a little low there, Drew. Andrew, clip the tank on a tree,
Starting point is 00:14:48 and a railing. He's just hitting all the trees, he's hitting shrubs! I'm trying to avoid the trees. Andrew! I'm getting chased by helicopters. But I may have come up with a new sport, I believe, if this lines up the way I think it does.
Starting point is 00:15:00 Oh, like Conkers? Uh, yeah. Oh no! No, no, no! So like, shot pulled with the tank. Oh! Dude! That was a trepidate! How did you do that? Oh, like Conkers? Yeah. So like shot. But with the tank. Oh, dude, that's a trepidation. How do you do that?
Starting point is 00:15:09 That's the coolest thing I've ever seen. Oh, my God. Gathered. I were in unison. It started with that. But that was I've never seen that work. That is my tank journey, GTA. But mainly when I wanted to show a screenshot of like, this is where the tank was to the hole. And I didn't have that. And I felt like such an idiot just looking at my one dumb side screenshot.
Starting point is 00:15:33 I want I want people to know who are listening. What we just saw was Andrew and a cargo Bob carrying a tank so low that he's hitting trees and shrubs. It gets hung up on a pole and it catches so that Cargo Bob keeps going forward, the tank drags behind, and then the momentum gets to the point where he does a full front flip and then launches the tank forward like Gavin said, like a trebuchet. That's insane. He did a full flip. That was in a Cargo a cargo Bob What can I ask a question? We're not recording tomorrow morning right we decided not to yeah We're doing a thing you you Gavin and I are doing a thing, but we can also do this
Starting point is 00:16:14 Oh right after we do the thing can we do this yeah? I would love to try this this and also I want to do my call of dirty idea that I pitched you guys yesterday I did some research on it, and gets even better. Yeah. Oh great Yeah, we could try a tank toss like a tank that line up on the same tree and so you can throw it furthest. Oh That's really interesting just something to think about who knows how long the thing that the three of us are doing I also I had an idea for a draft that we could maybe do at some point How do you feel about a a peeve draft? Yeah, I love it. What what's that? How do you feel about a peeve draft? Yeah, I love it. What? What is that?
Starting point is 00:16:48 Oh, yeah. Like drafting peeves. What's that? Things that annoy us. Pet peeve. Like we were just talking about one of mine earlier today, actually. Is pet peeve one of the types of peeves or are they all pet peeves? I don't know what that means. You're asking the helium guy that question. I've just never used never really used peeve on its own. It's always pet peeve. But why do you specify what kind of peeve?
Starting point is 00:17:12 Peeve, verb, annoy or irritate. That was one thing that peeved him. But what's the pet part? My peeve is people treating me like a moron. What when you go to when you go to the Wikipedia for it, it says pet peeve. A pet peeve, pet aversion, or pet hate is a minor annoyance that an individual finds particularly irritating to a greater degree than the norm. What the fuck is a pet aversion just seems like you don't like cats. So it's like a, like pet to mean small? Is that what it means? I think so. I think so. Oh
Starting point is 00:17:47 Should we create Wikipedia where we just list all the things? Pretty good. I think this is gonna be Eric's honorable mentions. I think You have any honorable mentions and Eric just be like I get boys boys sit down boys Yeah Wikipedia could just be the name of our peeve draft. I like it. Wikipedia. I love it. That's great.

Should we take a second before we get too far into the episode to discuss the rooster teeth of it? Oh, it's probably a good idea. Yeah, we probably should. I'll be honest. It's been 24 hours and I'm already sick of talking about it. But
Starting point is 00:21:21 but but we definitely should address it in the main podcast. If people aren't aware that our previous parent company Rooster Teeth The company that it was around for about 22 years went went out of business last year If you're listening to this you probably are aware that we spun off and started our own company Well one of the one of the other founders Bernie was able to acquire the name of One of the other founders, Bernie, was able to acquire the name of Rooster Teeth and some of the intellectual property and has reformed the company in some manner that isn't entirely clear yet.
Starting point is 00:21:53 They have more information coming, but a lot of people have been asking if this means that we will then be rejoining Rooster Teeth because we were once a part of Rooster Teeth and what that means for regulation. And what it means for regulation is that we are so fucking excited and happy for Bernie and Ashley and for Rooster Teeth and for the people that like Rooster Teeth content to be able to have that home on the internet again,
Starting point is 00:22:17 but we aren't involved with it. We spent the last nine months creating our own company, carving out our own space on the internet, and building our own little self contained universe. And we're very, very happy here and very excited about where we are in the direction that we're going and the adventure that we are on. And we will be tremendous fans of the new Rooster Teeth adventure, and whatever direction that goes. And we will be friends of of them and I'm sure you will see us
Starting point is 00:22:46 commingle at different points in the future, but we will be a distinct and Separate companies and there's no I don't think there's any any plans for that to change Anytime soon if at all no not at all not at all not at all zero. Yeah will not happen So I mean if you want to get to the weeds of it You know I think I could take credit for that idea Yeah, please do for Bernie buying it Floated it to him send him a little message. I said hey, you know be cool. You bought it, but bought some of the IP And then it happened you know so I'm not saying that's a factual story that I just said But if you want to give me credit, I'm open to it
Starting point is 00:23:24 I'm willing to take man. I think I think I'll credit to you, Andrew. Thank you. Thanks, man. Yeah, yeah, I just like floating those ideas. You know, he was about the eighth person I texted say, hey, you know, it'd be cool. Buying the property. If if anybody else wants to has anything else they want to add or elucidate to that or if I miss framed anything.
Starting point is 00:23:33 But I think there's just the general gist is that we are genuinely happy and excited. And I don't think any of us are going to be able to do that. I think we're going to be able to do that. I think we're going to be able to do that. I think we're going to be able to do that. I think we're going to be able to do that. I think we're going to be able to do that. I think we're going to be able to do that.
Starting point is 00:23:41 I think we're going to be able to do that. I think we're going to be able to do that. I think we're going to be able to do that. I think we're going to be able to do that. I think we're going to be able to do that. I think we're going to be able to do that. I think we're going to be ableed anything. But I think there's just the general gist is that we are genuinely happy and excited. And I don't think anybody wanted Rooster Teeth to disappear from the Internet because of some Warner Brothers purge. So the fact that Bernie has it in some fashion and is able to keep it alive, I think is great. We were all there when it died.
Starting point is 00:24:03 Like, clearly, we didn't want that to happen. We were all employed by it as it sank. But yeah, we zero. Yeah, we had health care. I still do. It was cool. It still is. Anyway, yeah, we will. There will be no collab between I think being definitive. There's no thought of one at least Yeah, I know what that would be like we don't collab late people have been asking me a lot about it
Starting point is 00:24:29 And I get it. I totally understand it. We spent 22 years making content together I would also point you to 22 years worth of content if you're looking for any because we made a shitload of it Like if you started today, it would take you a decade to get through all the content Bernie and I made together But but we don't collaborate with anyone like we don't have guests on the podcast. We never did. We I dare say never will. You know, when we were at Rooster Teeth, we didn't have people on from Rooster Teeth on this. We've had one person come on and I they're delightful. They're so funny. Part of me, though, is like, we don't do this.
Starting point is 00:25:02 We don't do this. I get it. Yeah, we had one person come on as a whim during the chip tasting and I don't know that that'll ever happen again. It was great. It was fine. Yeah. Fantastic. But we're pretty keyed into making what we're making with each other and only us, if that makes sense. Yeah, absolutely. I think that was really well said. I think that was great. Do we all have squinkles?
Starting point is 00:25:28 I got my squinkles. I got my squinks. My squinkles are on the way. Are you fucking serious? There's no, this is a bit, you're doing a bit. Are you serious? Oh, hang on, did they just get delivered? How are they not there? Dude, we took a break.
Starting point is 00:25:43 We took a 90 minute break between our last recording and this one. So you could get your squeakles. I Uber-eated a sandwich in that time. How could you not Uber-eat squeakles? I did. They're on the way. That's insane. Then why did we take the break?
Starting point is 00:25:59 Because I was going to go and they weren't at that store. Okay, fair enough. That, you know what, you really should have led with that I agree with these other guys You should have said that first Nick Nick fire up the time machine Delivered anyway, they're here. I just didn't see that. No, it's fair enough. Okay, go get your squinkles. Okay Well, he gets those let me just say in the little communication could be nice Gavin's come at me for a lack of communication. A little, Hey, I went, they didn't have any. I'm gonna order them.
Starting point is 00:26:31 Gavin likes to start in, you start in the second act. Go get your squinkles! Well, I'm just going to, okay. Go! Get your squinkles! Defend later! Defend later! I talked to Jeff about this yesterday. I said, there are times where Gavin does stuff, and the way he presents a question, it's like he's waiting for you to walk into a trap,
Starting point is 00:26:47 but that's never what he's actually doing. It just feels like it every time. It's a great example of that. God. He's not even gonna like these squinkles. No. After all this, he's not gonna like them. We're all gonna hate him
Starting point is 00:26:58 and he's gonna hate them twice as much. Oh, I think I'm gonna like them. Eric, I was trying to answer your question as directly as possible. You said, does everyone have their squiggles? I'm telling you, no. Do you want to start with the story? The answer. I think the reason everyone was mad at you is that we took a 90 minute break for your answer to still be no. Well, yeah, but wouldn't it be annoying if you like, you do you ever have their squinkles? And I'm like, here's what happened.
Starting point is 00:27:27 So I went to the, I don't have them. I do have them though. I was wrong. This is ridiculous. This is boo. Boo! So Jeff, reset the squinkle stuff. What, what, tell us about the squinkles.
Starting point is 00:27:40 Okay. We are at the airport leaving Cancun. We've had an amazing four days together, sun and fun and salt water and a lot of diarrhea and some pretty questionable evening entertainment. And now we're hanging out at the airport at Margaritaville waiting to come back to America. And we decide to walk to our gate and
Starting point is 00:28:07 glance over to the right and what do I see but a package of candy called Squinkles Chunks. And I thought to myself, that can't be real. So I go and I pick it up and I take a picture of it to go show Eric and then he goes, that's the craziest thing I've ever seen. And then we get on a plane and go back to America. Very dumbly didn't buy the squinkles chunks. Thought the photo was enough. Don't know what was wrong with me there. Mentioned it on the podcast.
Starting point is 00:28:32 Everybody's decided they want to try squinkles. So then every week when we record the podcast, we all get ready to eat the squinkles. But Gavin never has them. And I think this is like the ninth podcast in a row. We've tried to do squinkles. And and now it sounds like Gavin has them. So we're all is like the ninth podcast in a row we've tried to do Squinkles. And now it sounds like Gavin has them. So we're all gonna eat Squinkles and see what we think. Well, you kept changing the time of the podcast
Starting point is 00:28:52 to be earlier than my Squinkle game. It's been two weeks. Two weeks. In between, go in between. In between the days? This is proof that I have my Squinkles with today's date All right, I was not able to find squinkles chunks, but I got a lotte and I got squinkles salsa getty
Starting point is 00:29:13 I got squinkles salsa getty. Yes, what I got I have squinkles chunks. They are not hard to find. They're it like Walgreens and CVS Tried both of those stores didn't him Wow Is that what your clock looks like Gavin? What is that? Yeah? That's my satellite clock So I'm always on it on time exactly I was didn't use it today. You were in our you were a manly Yeah, so that's how I get on time. Why do you put things of importance on the floor? You're shaving with a mirror on the floor your clocks on the floor. What are you doing the floor? That's a footstool
Starting point is 00:29:46 Okay Apologize that's not where I keep the clock. That's where I put the clock to take the picture. Oh That's a nice chunk. That's what a squinkles chunk looks like it looks like dog food It looks like a little cat tree does it does look like a cat treat As the child I love it. Good chunk. Really? What does it taste like? Tamarind and mango.
Starting point is 00:30:12 Okay. And like almost like it's got like a little bit of like tahini and sugar, like a little bit. Squinkle Salsaghetti looks kinda like somebody rolled red vines around in sand. It does, that is a great explanation. Like you dropped your red vines around in in sand. It does. That is a great explanation. Like you dropped your you dropped your red vines in the in the sand pit and you had to eat it anyway.
Starting point is 00:30:32 We're going to we're getting into the salsa getting sauce. Should we do it? Yeah, let's do it. All right. I'm excited to put the little sauce back in. Open mine. Well, do you put it on it or is it on the side? What I'm supposed to do with it? Sauce on the side. I feel like you probably put it on, I'd assume. So I'm opening. What's the soy? What is this? Yeah, it's so gasana.
Starting point is 00:30:52 I'm going to pour it on there. You know what? That's not half bad. Oh, that's thick. And. Oh, shit. Oh, is it a little spicy?? Yeah got a little kick to it. Hmm. What's that? I haven't used the brown sauce yet What's the soy sauce like? Oh He's Christ Better without it. I bet the salsa getty or whatever is like a like a watermelon II strawberry thing
Starting point is 00:31:24 It is in the sauce is is like a like a watermelon strawberry thing. It is in the sauce is probably like a tamarind flavor thing. Yeah, it's very watermelon. That's great. That's really good. Enjoy squink. Dude, I'm a squinkle guy. Squinkles chunks are so good.
Starting point is 00:31:37 So your squinkles chunks kind of taste that you said they're mango. Yeah, they're definitely mango and like tamarind, like a little bit tamarind. Dude, squinkle salsa getty is fucking good. Yeah, you ever eat something and all you can taste is just the fact that your body probably can't make use of any of this. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:56 Yeah. McDonald's. That's what it tastes like. I mean, it tastes like every like Mexican candy I would get growing up as a kid. Yeah, I really like it Yeah, yeah, this just tastes like it tastes like all of that easy. Super easy to eat. Not a candy guy I'm a squinker. I think I am Yeah, I'm a squink fan from here on out. Hey, I got a gift for you next week
Starting point is 00:32:22 I'll take any extra squinks off your hands for you. Thank you. I've got the five packets. Wow, you went all in. Yeah, I ordered what was available. Speaking of going all in, can I tell you guys a little story about going all in without realizing it over the weekend? Please.
Starting point is 00:32:42 Last Friday, this is a follow up to my dick story. This is kind of no last Friday Emily and I had to take little Albert to the Allergy specialist right mm-hmm because he's you know he's he's a little nerd and he's got a billion allergies and He it's just been a constant It's a problem with being an English bulldog. Right. Henry had all the same shit. And so we had to take him up there because he has to get shots. I have to personally because Emily can't do it.
Starting point is 00:33:11 She's too grossed out by it. I have to give him two shots every three days for the next hundred years. And then at some point, he'll be no longer be allergic to outside, I guess. But anyway, so we had to go all the way up to Round Rock to this allergy specialist to go get the medicine and everything. And it just so happens that right next door to it, you have to actually, the way it's at like a cul-de-sac off the, or some sort of like a traffic circle
Starting point is 00:33:38 off of 35 in Round Rock, where you end up, you have to go through a Freddy's fast food restaurant to get back to the main road after you go to the allergy place. And you have to go through a Freddy's fast food restaurant to get back to the main road after you go to the allergy place. And I've never been to a Freddy's, but it had a nice sign and I was like, hey, do you want to get some food? And nobody was like, yeah, let's get some food from that place.
Starting point is 00:33:56 And so we went through the drive through, they had hot dogs. So I was like, obviously I'm gonna get a chili cheese dog. I showed you guys a picture of it. It was number 38 on the list, I believe, 38 or 39. And they asked me, they said, what would you like, sir? And I said, I'll take a chili cheese dog. And they said, do you want onions on that? And I went, well, yeah, of course.
Starting point is 00:34:12 And they go, OK. And then then they said, ma'am, what would you like? And she was like, I'll have a cheeseburger. And they're like just like the number one or whatever. And they're like, OK, do you want onions on that? And she was like, yeah, it comes with it, you know, like, OK. And then they give us our our food and we go pull into the parking lot and eat. And my hot dog is swimming in onions and we're like, well, they went a little heavy
Starting point is 00:34:35 on the onions and Emily's like, I swear, it's just it's just like patty, cheese, onion, mustard and bun, but mostly onion. And we kind of laugh about it and we eat it and then we throw the bag away immediately in the parking lot, there's a trash can, and go home, go into the house, go about our business, go back into the car to leave, and the car smells so intensely like onion,
Starting point is 00:34:58 we can't be in it with the windows rolled up. And we're like, holy shit, how did it get so oniony in here? This is crazy. How did we not notice it last time? And so we go do our business, we have to drive around town with the windows down. We go to our business, we come home,
Starting point is 00:35:13 we leave the windows down. We're like, yeah, I would just leave the windows down for a while, I'm sure it'll be fine. That began a saga of us trying to get the onion smell out of our car that has not ended. No! I don't know. Under Emily's car right now are like seven air fresheners, like leather scent air fresheners. We had I drove the car around on Sunday for like an hour with
Starting point is 00:35:37 every window down intently just to get breezing on Saturday. Sunday day, I left it in the yard with every window down and the rear trunk up for like nine hours We sprayed we for breeze we've Vacuumed to see if there were onions that fell somewhere. We cannot get onion out of this goddamn car We've made tremendous progress, but let me tell you, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, you couldn't sit in the car. That's crazy. I've never seen anything like it in my entire life.
Starting point is 00:36:12 Where the onion scent transference was so strong, it just like imbued itself into the inner workings of the car. You couldn't have made it smell more like onions if you chopped up an onion and just shoved it into the air vent. It was insane. It's still insane. Do you think some onion did get in the vent? No! How's onion gonna get in the vent? Honey, you've seen me eat it, it's not that messy. Do you think a worse smell would stack with the onion or would it displace the end? Like if you went full windows up canister strumming sort of
Starting point is 00:36:50 thing, would it blast the onion out? I don't think so. I don't think anything is getting rid of this onion. This onion has taken hold of my wife's car and it's not letting go. It's like it's like a demon onion. It's like we need to have some sort of an onion exorcism. I don't know what else to do the car has been aired out for like 16 hours of Texas air straight. It's just it it won't go away I'm gonna come and pop some of this onion Yeah, all right. The only solution is to have Gavin come over have a sleepover
Starting point is 00:37:21 Fill that gut up with air and then let him go fart crazy in this car. Start pushing those scents around. I think you might be able to feed it. I'll sleep in the car. Do you have a USB plug for my seat? Yeah, we do. I'm willing to try it, man. I'm willing to try it.
Starting point is 00:37:37 I wish it smelled as bad as it did initially. You can still smell it now, but it's also the thing where like, do I smell onions or am I just convinced that I smell onions? But I definitely think we still smell them. Yeah. You need to make like popcorn in the car. You need to get an air popper in there. You need to just try to overpower it.
Starting point is 00:37:54 What if we all sit in the car? There's five seats, right? Yeah. And we'll all do a different task in the car that makes a nicer smell. If it's still, I'll tell you what, let me get in there this weekend and see how bad it is. And maybe that's a supplemental weekend film. We could do a popcorn in one seat. Maybe I could get some bacon going in a different seat. I did. I did. I actually.
Starting point is 00:38:17 This is something maybe we could try the day. Actually, on Monday, I had to go back up to the allergists because one of the vials cracked and all the fucking I don't know Whatever it is medicine fell out and so I had to go I had to make it a go make an emergency run And I was like, you know what I'm gonna do cuz I was in my car I was like I'm gonna get the same order And I'm gonna eat it in the parking lot
Starting point is 00:38:41 I'm gonna eat both orders since I'm by myself and then I'm gonna see if it in the parking lot. I'm going to eat both orders since I'm by myself. And then I'm going to see if it was a one time thing. You're insane. Or if it's something else that that just like simultaneously made an onion smell like some problem with the engine or something that we're attributing to the onions, but it's not, you know, or like whatever. And I was all set to do it. And I even told Emily, I'm going to do this. She's like, that's a terrible idea. You shouldn't do it.
Starting point is 00:39:04 This has been a nightmare for us. And I'm like, I know, but And I even told Emily I'm going to do this. She's like, that's a terrible idea. You shouldn't do it. This has been a nightmare for us. And I'm like, I know, but I got to know. I got to know. I got to know whether you onioned or the car. I got to know. You can do this. Right. So I drive because it's like fucking 40 minutes up to Round Rock to go do this. Right. I drive up there to go get the vial and the goddamn Freddy's wasn't open yet because I drove out there too early in the morning because I'm
Starting point is 00:39:29 Didn't realize that they don't open till like 11, so I couldn't perform the test, but maybe Maybe that's what we do. Maybe that's our supplemental I'm not trying to step on a hundred percent eats territory or anything But maybe we should try to onion out the car and see if we can destroy my car with onion see if we can replicate What happened to Emily's car. We should do this tomorrow. Well, I'm certainly OK with that. Go and onion the car and then we'll try and de-onion the car. OK, I support it.
Starting point is 00:39:54 You guys have to schedule that. Do it after the game stuff. OK, Gavin won't show up if it's not on the calendar. That's true. I forgot about a recording yesterday because it wasn't on the calendar. We'll figure it out. The worst thing is that usually when I'm late or I've just forgotten about something, I'm right here just working at my desk. Like I don't have to physically move anywhere.
Starting point is 00:40:15 I'm just being late in the right place. I really I'm not a negative review food place guy. But if I read a review for a restaurant that said, do not go here, the onion is so strong. It has taken over the scent of my car for the past two weeks. I'm going to that place. I need to figure out what's going on with these onions. If you guys can't get the onions out, you need to go to the restaurant and just interview. What are you doing? What are,
Starting point is 00:40:43 what are these onions? Where are you importing these from? Oh Man, we need to do deep dive on onions. I'm glad we're gonna go do this I really am whether we do it tomorrow or sometime in the future I really I do want to get to the bottom of it and and I'm prepared to sacrifice Gavin's car to do it Yeah, and I think I think my thing I'm gonna cook bacon in my seat Okay, and then everyone can come up with a different task for Eric and Nick. Do you do you have any ideas? I'm sure we can land on something.
Starting point is 00:41:12 I'm just looking at the calendar. We're not going to be able to do it tomorrow. But how many USB plugs do you have in the car, Jeff? How many devices could be possibly plugged in? I have. Well, I have I have one and I have wireless charging. Well I can bring my battery that will power like four or five things. Oh yeah that's a good call. You can have your little battery. Do you guys ever think about bandanas?
Starting point is 00:41:37 Only when I'm looking at Marcus Fenix. Outside of that, no. But I think about them a lot when I'm looking at Marcus Fenix. I was thinking about bandanas the other day. And I was thinking, so I did a little research. So I was like, who invented the bandana, right? This was a Solarite thing that's not gonna, I'm not gonna do for Solarite. But, and bandanas were invented like in India.
Starting point is 00:41:57 I want to say like a billion years ago, right? And they were invented to do what you would think. To cover your neck, protect your neck, and to tie your hair back, right? And I got to thinking about cowboys, and how cowboys used bandanas mostly when they're riding their horses to stop from breathing in dust and shit, right? I figure they were probably the first people
Starting point is 00:42:19 to wear a bandana up over their nose to cover their mouth, which got me thinking, who was the first guy? Because there must have been a first guy who put his bandana up with his buddy because they were gonna go dry it right on down to the next town. And he goes, you know what, Steve, with that bandana up, you could be anybody.
Starting point is 00:42:38 I couldn't tell who you were. If you went and robbed a bank right now, nobody would know it was Steve. You're completely anonymous. And somebody was like, that is true. With a bandana up over my nose, I'm anonymous. I can commit crimes. And then all crimes were committed in the cowboy days by people who wore bandanas over their face.
Starting point is 00:42:57 So I wonder if the guy who invented bandana crime knows what he did going forward. You think the bandana was the first face covering crime? crime knows what he did going forward. You think the bandana was the first face covering crime? Might have been. That's interesting. When it was the first face cover crime or not, there was a first person who said, I'm going to use it for this reason. And then let's be honest, bandanas are iconic with Robin Banks now, right?
Starting point is 00:43:29 When I think of a bandana, I think of a cowboy robbing a stagecoach or a bank. And that had to start somewhere. It probably started with a cloth. Do you think there was intentionality to it? Or do you think it was like, let's say, a crew of four people. And one of them is like, you see what you see. John is going to fucking wear his bandana and That guy refuses to take that bandana off. He thinks it's so cool. What an idiot. He looks so dumb.
Starting point is 00:43:50 And then the three of them get identified immediately and nobody fucking knows who the fourth guy is. And then that's the light bulb. He's the guy who figured it out. The beat of the wet bandits. He's the bandana bandit. It feels to me like a thing where it happened and then there was a result
Starting point is 00:44:06 and they went, oh, shit, we can use it like this as opposed to someone being like, I can cover. I'll be anonymous. I'll never arrest me. There was a moment, though. You're absolutely right, Andrew. There was a light bulb moment for all I know. Bandit is it comes from the word bandana. Do you think there's ever been a police lineup where all five of the people in the lineup are wearing bandanas?
Starting point is 00:44:26 Oh, I guarantee. Yeah, absolutely. Let's try and identify. That's funny. I never considered the bandana history, Jeff. Yeah, I got thinking about it the other day and I just couldn't stop thinking about like that. Whoever that person was who was like, I'm gonna rob this fucking stagecoach Yeah, it was me. I'll never forget everybody's like that's brilliant. I'm gonna do that too. I wonder if it created criminals I never would have done this in a million years, but now it's like people being trolls on the internet like nobody's gonna Man if only I could do this anonymously I would be the biggest son of a bitch. Wait a minute.
Starting point is 00:45:10 You think there was like a corner store where like they couldn't keep bandanas and stock? It's like, oh, I'm really worried about what's going to happen in this town. These are flying off the shelf. Do you think anyone ever rubbed the store they bought the bandana? Yeah. You know, there was a guy who was selling it to him, too, who was like, shelf. Do you think anyone ever robbed the store? They bought the bandana. You know, there was a guy who was selling it to him too. Who was like, I'm going to remember your face and your face and then there's no fucking cameras. So he's like, he's got his, he's got his, his partner has to draw every person that comes in and buys a bandana. Just so they have a record. He just draws everyone from the eyes to the fork to the top of the hair.
Starting point is 00:45:44 I came up recently with what I think is going to be a good invention. This is probably some lab work, but it's advanced lab. Like I don't have these skills, but I feel like I'm at a certain age. I'm of an age where this would come in handy. I want to place a little fist on, on like a bidet attachment. You know when, when the thing comes out and it squirts water into your anus? Yeah. I want just a little fist on the end of that to just knuckle the back of my balls a little bit. I hate it.
Starting point is 00:46:16 I hate everything you're saying. I know you said this and I know where any of this was going. Yeah, I didn't think it was going to be that. I didn't think you want to bolt like speed bag your sack. But can you explain that again? So I make sure I understand what you're saying Well, sometimes when I stand up and I've done I've done a piss like if I sat down to pee and I stand up sometimes it's just like a little in the pipes and I've got just I got some stuff around to get all the drips out
Starting point is 00:46:41 And I feel like that was automated that'd be real nice. That's going to be a that's a short term solution for a problem that's only going to get worse as you age. There aren't enough little fists in the world to punch your balls enough to get all the peach trapped in there. By the time you're like my age, dude, it's just a constant dribble. It's like a it's like a it's like a fucking yard hose that won't fully turn off. So you're just like constantly throughout the day leaking piss? Nah, but for like maybe a minute, there's like a danger zone of like a minute after I pee,
Starting point is 00:47:12 where I have to like think like, do I need to go back to the bathroom and try again just in case? And there's all, and if I do, there's always a little bit more. And if I don't, I'm always like, well, I changed my pants. Because for me, it's, I'm only trapping piss when my balls are in hang mode. But whenever they're lifted up again by the boxes, that's when the rest comes out. And I'm just sick of it. I would say piss is the thing that changes the most with age, honestly. I pee.
Starting point is 00:47:37 I was thinking about this the other day. I want to start recording it. I pee now. Like every one of my pees is longer than my previous longest pee from my 20s or 30s. It's just like every time I piss it's like a camel now. I don't know where it comes from. I don't know why. It doesn't matter if I pee twice a day or 18 times a day and there's always just like just like the dribbliest of dribbles for a while.
Starting point is 00:48:00 It's all and this is for every one of you dudes. It only gets worse. I don't want to sugarcoat it for you because it definitely sucks. You're definitely not one to sugarcoat. I'm at the point now where I would say maybe once every three weeks, I'm changing my boxes after a piss. That's so funny. Lincoln, enjoy it while you can. Oh man.
Starting point is 00:48:26 Maybe I need to do some like, what's the clenchy thing? The like, the dick wall shot. Yeah. Maybe I need to do some of those too. Oh, maybe. But yeah, at the moment I'm just having to get down there and sort of nurse the balls around a little bit just to get it all out. And I think if that was automated, it'd be phenomenal.
Starting point is 00:48:49 I think you should I think you should try it. Would you use it, Jeff? Yeah, I would definitely try it. I just I think that the whole point that I was trying to make is that I think I'm beyond getting you out of it. Right. It's like it would maybe handle 20 percent of the problem, but I still got to deal with the other 80 percent after, you know. But for the window that you're in right now, I bet that would work very well.
Starting point is 00:49:10 Yeah, maybe it would do me for 10 years and then then I'm just beyond repair. I have a soul right idea for you, Jeff. I've been sitting on for a while. OK. You like it. It's going to do some take some research. You've been talking, you know, about all star players not playing and how much money they make in the NBA. Mm hmm. I'd love to know if there is a player that is making like 60 million and is just a bench player at this point.
Starting point is 00:49:36 If there is a time in the NBA's history in which him sitting as an individual is making more money than the entire roster of a championship team and like the 70s or the like 60s. I don't think it would have been in the 60s or the 70s because there weren't pay disparities like there are now. There just wasn't money in the league like there is now. There'd be a much greater chance of it happening in 2024 or 2025 than any other time, I'd say. No, I'm saying like if you take the roster of every player from 1970 and you add it up, is it less than the amount that they're paying
Starting point is 00:50:11 this one guy to not play? Like every player in the league? No, every player on the team that won the championship that year. So you take the roster of the winning team. I just, the idea of that like, Yes, 100%. more to one guy to not play
Starting point is 00:50:25 than a team paid all of their guys that won a championship is very funny to me. I'm curious if that has ever happened. I guarantee you it probably has. It has. But I'll look into it. I'll definitely look into it. You mentioned that and there was like some big NBA news this week that kind of like I think it exploded to such a degree that it was bigger than NBA. Like it was invading my wife's tick tock. And like I had explained to Vanessa what was going on.
Starting point is 00:50:49 She's like, why am I getting inundated with this? You know, but there was a huge NBA trade this week where Luca Donchich was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers for a guy named Anthony Davis. And people are up in arms about it, myself included. But what I want to talk to you guys about is when it happened Saturday night, kind of in the middle of nowhere or out of the middle of nowhere, I was playing Call of Duty. And so I watched Sports Center and I was like consuming all the media I could.
Starting point is 00:51:14 And then I was just about to go to bed. And at like one thirty in the morning, I got an alert from my phone that there was an emergency Bill Simmons podcast to discuss the Luka Doncic trade. And so I thought, oh, fuck, I got to stay up and listen to this is what I've been waiting for. And then so from 130 to like 245 or whatever, I listened to that podcast and then I went to bed. And that got me thinking, we should do an emergency podcast one day about something. I love it.
Starting point is 00:51:41 Ah, preferably something we don't know anything about. But yeah, like I just want us to have to do an emergency podcast one night where we all have to get together at 1 a.m. and like and talk about it, you know, we should all install a siren in our house. This link to the same like button press. Like if you hear the siren, you have to start podcasting. We should be able to rig that up, right? I could rig that up. Yeah. Yeah. I take Eric's silence to mean he's on board. Oh, you know, I'm I'm I'm for any good idea, guys.
Starting point is 00:52:13 I'm just trying to be. Take that how you will. I wish that we were friends with like a Shands type person, like an insider, a sports insider to be like, when this trade happens, maybe like two seconds before you post about it. Hit this button. Let us know. Have the light go off like I'm trying to figure out what would be the thing that unites us for this emergency reaction. What's a fun emergency? Sports have fun emergencies.
Starting point is 00:52:49 Hmm. There has to be other things that also have fun emergencies. What's what's the most fun emergency? Like a surprise iPhone drop or something? Oh. You know, sometimes they're like, and it's available right now. Yeah. But maybe for like something none of us follow right? Yeah It's got to be something none of us follow. Yeah That's a good thing to think about Something coming out be cool. Like what if what if it was like hey elder scroll six came out?
Starting point is 00:53:16 But we'll all know about that Yeah, or do you want it like the the emergency aspect of it is I don't think delivering on that Doing a recording about elder scrolls coming out Like the the emergency aspect of it is, I don't think, delivering on that. Yeah, I got to agree. That's just us doing a recording about our schools coming out. I was out. I'm not opposed to. But if it came out now, like right this second, shouldn't we start playing it? Yeah. If it's if it comes out as a surprise.
Starting point is 00:53:41 I've played GTA five while this podcast is happening. That came out 10 years ago. I'm ready for a new release. What's funny is that the I think the announcement for Elder Scrolls six between then and now is longer than when Skyrim came out and that announcement. Jesus. Yeah. So all they really told us with that announcement was that the number after five is six. That's all the information we got.
Starting point is 00:54:05 They clearly haven't didn't start working on it. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I think they plan on. Yeah, it's a weird time over there. Starfield, I think, was going to have a lot longer of a tale than I think it will end up having. Yeah, I agree with that. I need to play that DLC.
Starting point is 00:54:24 Really good first mission. That DLC. A lot of fun. We have something in deja vu. Do we talk about this yesterday? Yeah. We're recording that. Oh, man. Anyway, I guess until we figure out what it is, everybody just keep your eyes peeled for an emergency. And if anything pops up and you're like, holy shit, that was unexpected.
Starting point is 00:54:42 Maybe we can assemble. I think if you have a suggestion as a listener as well, please let us know. This is like getting creative with it. Anything that we could have like a news alert for on a phone would be ideal of just it pops and then we all have to go. I Gavin, you need to construct an alarm system or something, because I have my alerts off at all times So I'm gonna miss this emergency alert
Starting point is 00:55:07 Yeah, is there a reason that you just never have alerts on and for anything I just I don't really notice when it vibrates. I don't like the noise my phone makes when it has an alert Yeah, but do you not think that every every day where we're like, hey, can we can we do this or can we change this? I'm not because of four of us all say sure and then you don't reply for 80 minutes It's probably because I'm sleeping if that happens like 2pm Oh if I'm sick, yeah, I mean I'm in six. I mean, yeah, dude 2 p.m. Here. That's noon. What do you mean? What do you mean? Why he sends us I'm 80% of my slacks from Andrew at 5 in the morning. Yeah
Starting point is 00:55:51 Hours sleep at night. I would love to He's great idea beat of his own drummer. Maybe uh, what do you injured your shoulder? Was that in a night sleep or a day sleep? It's a great question. I think I think it was like probably 10 p.m. It was a night sleep. Okay, man. If you if you were an aura ring, it wouldn't know what the fuck to do with you Change everything Change everything! Stop whatever this is! The ring would be like, human malfunctioning, please remove me. I can be of no help. We should get you in and see if you can be the first person to score a one for a sleep.
Starting point is 00:56:37 Dude, I would love to see Andrew's sleep score. We'll do it. So, you're saying that you have your alerts off because you don't like when your alerts go off. Yeah. No one likes it. I'm never like sick. Yeah. So turn it off. They're called alerts. They alert you.
Starting point is 00:56:58 They're not called feel goods. Like I check my phone constantly. So I see I'm I you brought up that like I've been delayed. First of all, this is a democracy of a company we have. You technically don't need my vote. Oh, there are things where I'm not moving forward until I hear from everyone. We like to check in with you
Starting point is 00:57:16 and make sure you're good with tons of stuff. And sometimes we'll be talking in Slack, you'll be talking in Slack, and then someone will ask a question about the schedule like maybe 10 minutes later, and then someone will ask a question about the schedule like maybe 10 minutes later, and we don't hear from you for like two hours. Yes, that has been funny.
Starting point is 00:57:30 And then, cause then I'll get a text from Gavin and he'll just say, what happened? It's also not always purely a yes or no. Sometimes your insights are invaluable. Yeah. Yeah. We like to see your opinion on stuff that you're not even in. I just, I want it noted that the man that had two weeks to get squinkles is coming at me Dave you got squinked bro, dude
Starting point is 00:57:57 You really dropped the squink on that one Gavin We feel no you squink the ball. That's better We film videos in the morning, and then we film the podcast much later in the afternoon I see I'm just gonna go and get the squinks between and you keep moving the podcast up Stepping on my doing it do it literally any other day You said that when you have stuff going on you're typically just at the desk you're at right now. Yeah, I mean, I could have stopped editing Pineapple Donut and got a Squinks, but guess what? I was editing the video that comes out tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:58:31 But you didn't even go to get Squinks. You Squinks. Oh, you. I did. They weren't there. They didn't sell any. Why did you look before you went? How do I? I should have. Tiggies, we put out a video. You should have. Sometimes you're just wrong, but I get the fight. I respect fighting and knowing internally rock. If Andrew, if the mind table is where
Starting point is 00:58:55 it was last week, where's the corner? I don't, I don't know how to answer that question. What do you mean? Okay. Um, I'm locked in on my sleep for a second. I got a call from Eric one day and I went, oh, fuck, what happened? And it was the day you guys were filming the agility thing. And I was like, why did I get a call? I wonder what happened. What did I need? And in the video, you guys have a wheel. And one of the things you talk about is call Andrew.
Starting point is 00:59:25 And then it's cut me getting called because I didn't answer. And I assume it was nothing. But I spent at least a week going, I wonder what the call was about, because we never talked about it. I never asked. I was curious. Did you see it in the moment and just decide not to answer it or you just missed the call? I missed the call. OK. But it was funny to watch the video and see you guys set up a wheel
Starting point is 00:59:47 and then the edit of like never calling me. But knowing the call happened, it landed on me. I assume it was 30 seconds of silence of. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. But I felt like I had behind the scenes info when watching. It was nice. It was exciting. Watch. Great video. I'm excited to watch the pineapple. Oh, have you not seen it yet? Not yet. No, I saw you dropped it in in the evening last night. I dropped it in. And there's a, for
Starting point is 01:00:13 those who've, who've seen it or were about to watch it, there are moments where people just start laughing at something that's happening off screen. And I assume that was me just bending over to try and fart. We get, actually get one in the video towards the end. Yes, that's exactly, that's exactly what that is. It's very funny. It happened a couple of times. It's very funny every time. There's also a moment I left in
Starting point is 01:00:32 that I don't think is clear because this was kind of just an in-joke, but Eric constantly bitches about Nick's ability to film the action. He's apparently always filming something else. So I spent a lot of that video just filming the complete opposite thing and at one point Eric's opening the fridge and saying look at that and I'm like filming the fridge door and I'm like filming all the other stuff in
Starting point is 01:00:50 The fridge and Eric gets mad. It's a real but it's not clear. That's what I'm doing So that's that was what I was doing in that moment Yeah You have to cover up his inability to be able to film and be like it was actually a bit what I was doing was Like a funny bit if you thought that it was still bad. It was actually funny actually a bit. What I was doing was like a funny bit. If you thought that it was still bad, it was actually funny and you should like it. The bit where the fridge was a bit, the bit where I was actually filming the wrong thing while Jeff was eating, it was totally real.
Starting point is 01:01:13 You see, it's easy to do. My wife was so excited that Cole Barbara was one of the things on the wheel. Like later she's like, Oh my God, that's awesome. And all of the comments are, none of them are about my small wife. All of them are about, oh my god, Bimmy Donks coming into regulation. Things like you morons. That's great. This is a good episode. This is a really good episode.
Starting point is 01:01:42 Yeah, I would say, I'd put this up there like eight. I feel good about like yeah. I want to if we do go and onion out the car. Mm-hmm. You onioned your car out with two meals, right? A hot dog and a hamburger meal. Yeah. And they both had onions? Yeah, we can make it worse if we four of them.
Starting point is 01:01:59 So we could like quad quad up the onion or double it from what you had. We can absolutely do that. Yeah. Interesting. Yeah, well if it's not one for tomorrow, I think we should try that soon. If we can't do it tomorrow, and I'm going to guess we can't, let's do it next week. Let's just put it on the calendar sometime next week. We can we can schedule it Monday and and make sure we do it. Onion. There you go. Onion. Onion chant?
Starting point is 01:02:26 Oh, alright. Well, that's probably a pretty good place to stop then. It's real strong ending, guys. Felt the fucking energy drop. That was like watching Gavin after he's had CPAP all night where it's just a fart that doesn't come.
Starting point is 01:02:42 It just never... Geez, man. Are you still CPAPing? man. Are you still, so are you still CPapping? Yeah. Are you, have you adjusted so you're not being filled with air like a balloon? Well, I did find the sweet spot still. Like I could turn it down, but then I just have apnea through the machine.
Starting point is 01:02:58 Like it's not powerful enough. Oh, sorry. So I need to have it so it opens my nose, but not my throat. Okay. Okay. Okay. And sometimes if I get it, if it's like just too weak, my nose like blows open and closed like a, like a door in the wind.
Starting point is 01:03:14 It's like, I'll be, I'll be dreaming about something. And then suddenly I just hear like, and it's just my nose flap. What a fucking problem. Nobody else has. I'm already a massive disadvantage because I, I, everything, everything in that industry comes in like small, medium, large. And it's obviously the large doesn't work. I need to go online and find their secret menu option of extra large for my nose. Otherwise nothing, nothing like my nose, nothing seals in.
Starting point is 01:04:03 It's just this gaping nostrils that can't close around anything. It's a nightmare. I might be the worst CPAP user. Completely impossible. We could all have a go on it, though. I'll buy everyone a fresh attachment. Okay, in that case, yeah. And see if it fills you with air.
Starting point is 01:04:26 Maybe, maybe you should connect the CPAP to your ass and blow it out the other way. That burped all day long. Well, don't forget, this Friday it's GURPL-tine's day. At noon central time, we're going to be live on Twitch, Twitch.tv slash the regulation pod just before noon to celebrate the release of the GURPLers, the KOOZLers, the two signs and the reprint of the shirt. And you can celebrate by going to regulation store.com
Starting point is 01:04:57 or regulation store.store. Was that the other one? Yeah. I'm still not convinced I ever had Jeff.sucks. That's insane. Oh, was it someone else? In the meeting I'm so I love I love when Nick swoops in like this it is Nick piped in from the background Not even verified info. Yeah, it happens a lot. It happens a lot in 100% eat where he'll just go
Starting point is 01:05:23 Yeah, and you don't know what he's talking about. He said it's mostly verified. What percent certain are you, Nick? I am 75% sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This number went down. Oh dude, was that 90 when I started that? Also pretty wild that at the mind table,
Starting point is 01:05:44 Nick was like as close as everyone else. Truly, Nick should be sat slightly further back from the mind table. Andrew, he's in an island of his own. He's the furthest away from the table from everybody else. He did say that because of the monkey mask. Nobody was the same distance from Jeff as Jeff from the table. Well, in the way you drew it. Yeah, and you're drawing.
Starting point is 01:06:07 No, it's not about the tables, but where we are at the table. What? So, dude, we were wrapping up. We were wrapping up. We were about to put this episode to bed. It was going to be done like three minutes ago. I don't want to go anywhere. What the fuck are you talking about? Can you just draw the correct mind
Starting point is 01:06:25 table then? I'll put it together, but like it's, it's, I mean, we were there. Sorry, man. We don't, sorry. We don't want to tax you too hard, man. We don't, we don't, I really apologize for asking for clarification. Some people drew their own great ones. It was just like someone with headphones and then just us floating around there. I'm such, I'm such a big fan of that one. I think this is so, I think this is great. It's so funny. I think these mind tables are so good. Yeah. If Andrew could draw, draw the accurate mind table and as well put in the corner that I'm backed into. He's going to draw. Well, everyone has to be sitting at the mind table. That's first of all. Everyone has to be at the table. Okay.
Starting point is 01:07:07 So just give me a sec. Okay. I'm making a drawable surface. No, no. Oh, my God. What does that mean? Well, he's turning some papers of trash into paper or he just took a screenshot or an image that he's drawing all over like a Jpeg. Yeah, that's wrinkles rapper
Starting point is 01:07:27 Hey, no, it's a jpeg of like a receipt that he's drawing on the bottom of in like paint Do it while he's preparing that did it everybody have their homework ready? Yeah What what we had homework from the last episode? What? What? We had homework from the last episode. I have squiggles. Squiggles. Andrew mentioned it yesterday, and so I went and listened to the episode and he was right. We had homework. Oh, what was it? Well, I don't want to.
Starting point is 01:07:53 I just wanted to see if everybody had it ready so we could dive into it after. I want to I want to find about find out about this mind table first. Let me see if I've done my homework. What could be homework around here? I? Don't know look on your floor where all your important things are kept I Don't know I was mostly just trying to create a layer of unease while we're waiting for Andrew to know yeah, you did it Yeah, thanks. I know you nailed it buddy. I really appreciate that. Thank you. Okay. I got it did it. Okay, okay? I'm excited
Starting point is 01:08:27 Download photo save us J fifth Here we go here's the table Now we all have to be sitting at the table You're an idiot. It does not say who's who. No. You also said it was a square yesterday. You said it was a square. And then you said that Jeff's at the head.
Starting point is 01:08:52 Firstly, how could Jeff be at the head of a square? And secondly, that's not a square, you idiot. Oh, one sec. Yeah, let me go back into the lab here. That's a good point. Hell yeah. What's that bit at the bottom? There's like a black line. That was the thing that I drew over.
Starting point is 01:09:09 I missed a little part of it. You know, you can like go file new and you don't have to rub out what you've already drawn in paint. Okay. Well, this table's a little wonky cause I'm, I'm trying to speed through it. That's a tool for drawing a square. There we go. OK, here we go. This is a speed draw version of it.
Starting point is 01:09:31 Well, where did that photo come from? That's not I don't even know what that was that just popped up on my screen. Here we go. Sounds like porn. No, it was like a bunch of drawings, which I guess still could be porn. But it wasn't porn speed, thanks. So the square is not the best square Says you can clearly see Nick's at the top the furthest away from all of us He's still at the table. You can clearly see that's Nick Gavin. What don't you understand?
Starting point is 01:10:04 This is you coming in being like this is how it actually is and it's so well It was the money threw it at me at the last second of this record fine I did do that I did drop you in it, but that is a disgrace Yeah, I'm not saying it's my best work. I never claimed that Because he wanted a square Yeah, you know we've lived also why is it different from your other drawing? Because he wanted a square. But the sides are different. Yeah, we flipped. Also, why is it flipped now? So who's at the top, who's at the bottom?
Starting point is 01:10:32 Bottom is Jeff. I thought it was at the head. How can the head be the bottom? I thought it was at the table. Why am I so far? How do you determine what the top of the table is? Andrew, on the first drawing, there are two people on the left. On the second drawing, there are two people on the right. So what is the top to you? It's a good point, I guess.
Starting point is 01:10:56 Yeah, yeah. You know what? To say my drawing was completely wrong based on his instructions and then follow up with this is how it is and then draw two completely different things is absolutely unbelievable. I was just thinking about because we're looking at it from a top down angle. If I walk into your room, I don't know what the head of the table is. How do we know where the head is? You had the head. No, I'm just asking you in this picture Where is the head of the table? Where is your mind you determine where the head is? Well, it's at the bottom. It's at the bottom. Okay, the head is the bottom in your mind. Yes
Starting point is 01:11:36 But that was just more of a general question because when you say the head of the table you think of the top because the head Is on the top, but how do you determine top like the surface of the table who is you in the situation? Where you're explaining this to us is you us or is you you thanks for listening to the regulation podcast like and subscribe Table talk will continue this is absolutely crazy I had before. We were gonna end like five minutes ago. Oh my God. Table talk will continue. This is absolutely crazy. We are going straight into mind table in episode 41.
Starting point is 01:12:11 We are not done with this. I was hoping to have something that we could recreate in real life with a real square table. Yes. And I have like balloon people to represent it. I would have no idea. It's like. It's because you would put two people on one side
Starting point is 01:12:23 and they would be on the wrong side Maybe they would have to be on both sides simultaneously. I guess yes Yeah, does anyone have an actual answer that how do you know where the head of the table is on a real table? It's the end. It's like a long Rectangular table this the two ends in it so there are two heads That's stupid What? Maybe one assume there may be one head. And maybe the head is like opposite the door you came in. Oh, yeah. OK.
Starting point is 01:12:51 I was just curious if we knew I didn't know that. Well, I don't know. I've always heard the expression like, oh, they're sitting at the head of the table. I had a round or square table. The head seat is wherever the host wants to sit, according to Google. Oh, wow. This is like Jeff's the host. Wait, so Andrew is saying that you've just heard it as an expression, but you don't know what it is.
Starting point is 01:13:14 I always assumed it was the person who was sitting at the end. I feel like in mob movies, if you think they were saying at the end, how does a square have an end? And they're all ends? How does a square have an end? Well, there you go. Another awesome episode of the Regulation Podcast. This has been episode 40. I wanna say this puts us somewhere around 250 episodes
Starting point is 01:13:43 or something. This is a nine. My slider is at 9.4. I really felt it this episode. It's really high. The last probably 10 minutes of this really put it over the top for me. I'm really. I'll be honest, I took it down a little bit
Starting point is 01:13:56 with that low energy ending that we were doing and then it totally rebounded. Kudos to Andrew and his mind table. I cannot wait to sit at it again next week You would we introduce to the world our gift to the universe episode 41 of the regulation podcast It'll be in a post Gertrude times world I can only imagine that the sun shines a little bit brighter the skies a little bit bluer the Plants in the trees are a little bit greener in the air is a little bit crisper the sky's a little bit bluer, the plants in the
Starting point is 01:14:25 trees are a little bit greener and the air is a little bit crisper in a post-Gurpl-times world. I can't wait to see you there. Bye-bye, everybody. Love you, bye. Bye.
