Starting point is 00:00:00 Dragon's Dogma 2, the highly anticipated successor to the cult classic Dragon's Dogma, is out now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S and X, and Steam. Dragon's Dogma 2 is a third-person action RPG boasting a richly detailed and deeply explorable fantasy world created using Capcom's RE Engine's immersive physics, groundbreaking character AI systems, and cutting-edge graphics. Dive into the vast and dynamic world where The Arisen is called upon to fulfill a forgotten destiny across the nations of Vermont, the Kingdom of Humanity, and Batal, the nation of Beastrin.
Starting point is 00:00:36 Dragon's Dogma 2 revolves entirely around choice. Your choice, that is. From the sword and shield-wielding fighter to fighter to the illusion conjuring trickster, there are over 10 unique vocations to choose from that all require experience to unlock new skills. And character customization is out of this world, literally. Oh, and did I mention the combat is really in-depth? It isn't just hacking at a giant's ankle for half an hour while your dodge roll attacks. You can engage enemies from a distance, climb up large foes, stab them in their weak points, use the terrain and trick, trip, or throw foes off high cliffs or raging waters.

I'm just gonna go with this burp in limbo hello and welcome to another episode of the F*** Face Podcast. My name is Jeff Ramsey. With me as always, other people. This is episode 163. Let's get to it. I'm other people. I feel like you're putting a lot of effort into the name of the
Starting point is 00:03:36 podcast and you're like going really high pitched. It's bleep though, so nobody really benefits. I do that. That's why I do it. Oh, yeah. why that's why i do it oh yeah that's exactly why i do it now that was funny so that's just for us yeah it's just for it's just for it's honestly it's just for me like it's funny to me knowing that that's gonna get bleeped and no one will overhear it and that's where i put the most effort and that's kind of point of this whole thing yeah i try to stay true to my roots we didn't we didn't really talk about it i there's a quiet face that happened over several episodes of the show relating to what i got you for your birthday jeff i was going to mention that dude i love my birthday present from you oh what you got
Starting point is 00:04:17 thank you so much i got jeff they do uh the florida keys they they do you know i talked about the the conch republic their own like nation that they made yeah that would have been a fun state that would have been a great thing to draft the conch republic um back-to-back state talk uh they do a thing where you could get a passport for that region and then you can also get like a little coupon book so you go to like different places and they'll stamp it for you and you go go around and you can get whatever you wanted on it we were big in the nickname talk at around the time that this happened it just started jeff was very excited about t-bone so i got jeff a t-bone conch republic passport that they send and like verify i haven't seen what it looks like but i'm
Starting point is 00:05:00 assuming it looked good it came out the way i'm taking pictures of it right now. It's fucking gorgeous, dude. Well, so I did that because Jeff was very excited about T-Bone. And then we took a two week break. And when we came back from the break, Jeff introduced himself as Porterhouse on the next podcast. And I was terrified that T-Bone was already dead because it takes six to eight weeks for them to mail this thing out. So I bought it ahead of time. It was all locked in. And he was like, this week I'm Porterhouse.
Starting point is 00:05:33 And I thought he was just going to keep changing nicknames. So quietly, if you go and listen to that with context internally, I'm going, oh, fuck. Oh, fuck. He's changed his nickname. T-Bone is gone. T-Bone is dead. But I think externally, you were for some reason just screaming T-Pain. But he kept it.
Starting point is 00:05:52 T-Bone alive and well. Yeah, I did. And I'm trying to find this. I don't like. I don't like Discord. What do you mean? I just don't like it. Trying to figure out where to post an image?
Starting point is 00:06:03 It sucks. Yeah. Is that your problem? You got to hit the plus sign. Little plus on the bottom left. No, I know, but it won't let me add. You know how you have to do that thing where you add, you have to add, it's like it doesn't have all your images.
Starting point is 00:06:15 Oh yeah, it comes in like blank. But the add more option's gone all of a sudden. Okay, there we go, I can do it this way. As somebody who uses the browser, I don't think I've experienced that. Fair enough. It is, Conquer Public. Conquer Public. Fancy little thing. Party Passport. there we go i can do it this way as somebody who uses the browser i don't i don't think i've experienced that fair it is there you go fancy little party passport how gorgeous is that beautiful hope to use it someday oh man speaking of uh key west it's about to be july 4th weekend that's uh that's probably some pretty good just i mean by the time this comes out i'll be way past that but just fyi that's probably some pretty good uh people watching right there i didn't even think
Starting point is 00:06:48 about that july 4th weekend is probably like insane down there right i imagine it's gonna be it's gonna be slop o'clock all o'clock yeah i was about to say like an interstellar when they go to that different planet and an hour is like six years july fourth weekend slop o'clock is just it never it's the entire weekend it's all slop o'clock you come back from key west and all your kids are older than you it's a slop o'clock experience uh before we started this we're talking about basketball and i wanted to to share something with gavin you and eric jeff might uh be familiar with well you're definitely familiar with it to an extent don't don't reveal any information gavin there's a player that was drafted recently and a post
Starting point is 00:07:35 photo of him in the discord and his name is grady dick which is a great oh yeah fantastic name first of all second thing just kind of unrelated to my broader point who do you think he looks like when you look at grady dick is there anything that jumps out at you is like oh he's this uh no because i have one it's very distinctive whenever i see grady dick i cannot see anything else but the Hamburglar he looks like the Hamburglar before he started his life of crime like if they were gonna do like a live-action biopic of the Hamburglar young Grady Dick is Hamburglar which before the crime started which part which part what all just his face his face his face his aura you don't his hair
Starting point is 00:08:27 you don't see grady dick and think hamburglar you don't think those two photos are the same guy i it's the same guy just grown up with a life of crime this isn't 20 years this is it's like two branching paths you know yeah if he misses like one too many free throws, we know exactly. If Grady Dick was 5'8", he would be the Hamburglar. Dude, I gotta admit, he looks shockingly similar to the Hamburglar.
Starting point is 00:08:56 That was a morning thought I had. I woke up and thought, Grady Dick looks like the Hamburglar. That was the start to my day. That's like saying Ian McKellen looks like Falco. I mean why I just there's not enough What are you talking? Wait see does can I see Falco? I don't know I'm gonna get it for you here in just a second Okay, does Ian see a comparison Ian McKellen to Falco? This is look like Falco
Starting point is 00:09:23 Okay here classic Falco Okay Ian McKellen to Falcor look like Falcor. Okay, here. Classic Falcor. Okay. Not bad. I kind of have a nose like Falcor. Hang on. Gavin, you might be right. There's no one.
Starting point is 00:09:38 In the eyes? That's a great one, Gavin. You nailed it. Did you know that he looked like Falcor? Had you thought that before? I just picked too much. You could do an Animorphs cover of Ian McKellen to Falcor, and it would make sense. Oh, dude.
Starting point is 00:09:55 You could see it the entire way. Oh, I'm so bummed that that's not similar. Also, are you saying, Gavin, that there's not enough of the Hamburglar to identify or compare him to a person? Is that what you're trying to argue? I'm saying Grady's dick doesn't look anything like the Hamburglar. You don't think they look the same? No. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:10:20 That's crazy to me. I think they're identical. Grady's dick. Grady's dick. Grady's dick. It's a spinoff we didn't know we wanted, but it's here. So my question to you, Gavin, is I learned his name,
Starting point is 00:10:35 and then I thought, what do they do about the jersey situation? Because if you put your last name on the jersey, do you think that it just will say dick, or will they try to do like a g dot dick like will they try to style the dick in any way dick yeah why wouldn't they do i mean i mean it's his name because it says dick what do you think gavin i think just dick it's not you think just dick i thought they're gonna do g dot dick to like kind.Dick. It's not like Grady shit.
Starting point is 00:11:05 It's not like Dick is a common name. It's got to... Yeah, he can't be the first Dick in basketball. Yeah. Definitely not. There's Dicks all over the place in basketball, I assume. Well, historically, for sure. So Eric showed that.
Starting point is 00:11:19 Kansas Dick. That makes sense. Kansas Dick. That makes sense. I was expecting a G.Dick. What Toronto delivered on is better than I could have ever dreamed. He's the number one dick. He's dick one.
Starting point is 00:11:33 He's dick one. I thought they were going to try to cover it a little bit. He's just number one dick. They picked the most phallic number. That is... They picked the most dick number. Yeah, that is a sweet double Dick and ball that is a side profile of a pair of balls in a long dick if the back of the jersey was sponsored
Starting point is 00:11:51 By MasterCard it would be a real picture. Oh Yeah, what if they did like an eight they added below it and the one was coming out of the he's 18 oh the letters coming out that'd be great it's perfect you guys are so he's the number one dick and he's the Hamburglar but you didn't see the Hamburglar thing which is crazy to me I think most people will see it I have a question for you Gavin on
Starting point is 00:12:23 the subject of the Hamburglar. McDonald's is fairly popular in the UK, right? Yeah. And so they have tons of McDonald's. Do kids have birthday parties and stuff at McDonald's there? Yeah, I did as a kid. I had one. So are all of the cast of characters on the roster over there,
Starting point is 00:12:41 like the Hamburglar and Grimace and Mayor McCheese and all those people? Or do you get different characters? No, I think we just had a Ronald situation. I think they did pop up, but I didn't know them by name. I feel like I've heard English people reference the Hamburglar and things,
Starting point is 00:13:00 but until I've seen this picture Andrew posted, I don't think I even knew what he looked like. Really? Well, next time you see Grady Dick, you're ever somewhere ESPN is on. Number one dick. What were you talking about last episode, by the way? You said the Titanic was a f*** face.
Starting point is 00:13:16 Oh, just the whole event of it happening. That wasn't intended. That was a real mistake. The whole crashing of the Titanic. The whole hitting the iceberg on your first voyage so is that going back to your like things they could like turn right problem solved that would be one yeah i just more meant like it seemed kind of avoidable but i don't know a lot about the titanic and why they hit the iceberg and dude i think it went wrong because they turned right like if they
Starting point is 00:13:41 just gone straight into it nose first, it probably wouldn't have sank. Or they could have turned way earlier. Yeah, or not gone full speed. Huh. Was anybody else surprised by how close to land the Titanic was when it crashed? I thought it was way further out. I mean, it's still hundreds of miles out.
Starting point is 00:14:00 Yeah, but I mean, on the map, it's right there next to the face center of the universe yeah that's right off the coast i feel like i get burger confidence when i look at maps and like distance not understanding how far something actually is it always feels closer than this the guy that promised uh four marathons yeah that was that was peak burger confidence that was insane first of all it was three oh sorry second of all that was a yeah that was that was peak burger confidence that was insane first of all was three oh sorry second of all that was a mistake that was just a dumb statement to claim that was i've matured since then yeah i've grown perspective and what is that perspective given you what has
Starting point is 00:14:37 it taught you uh that i can't run three marathons or walk wow oh yeah without training not with not with that attitude no way with training yeah no training no impossible what do you mean training though like like having a trainer or just like practicing walking uh like like practicing long distance walking yeah building stamina and endurance and stuff yeah how far could you go now, do you think? I have no idea. Before you're like, oh, this sucks. I'm going home. Oh, but before I say this sucks, I'm going home? Two blocks. Two blocks.
Starting point is 00:15:10 This sucks. Two blocks. And how many blocks in a marathon? Oh. A thousand. How long are the blocks? They're one mile each. This is just a math problem.
Starting point is 00:15:24 I feel like I'm... Jimmy has 16 apples and is going 52 miles west how many apples does he have how many city blocks in a marathon 524.375 oh so you're like half a percent in i don't think there's any city i want to walk that much blockage for i don't think there's enough stuff for that many city blocks to be you don't think there's any city I want to walk that much blockage for. I don't think there's enough stuff for that many city blocks to be interesting. You don't think New York City has it? Man, New York City's fucking packed. Yeah, you're walking. Or Tokyo?
Starting point is 00:15:53 No, I'm not saying that there isn't enough space in a city for that. I'm saying for my interest, I wouldn't personally be like, by block 200, I'd feel like I probably have seen most of the things that i'd want to see i'd run out of interesting things to look at i really appreciate your perspective and um what you're saying here this is i think this is a growth moment for you i think that's great i don't want to get too far away from ankle integrity jeff what percent would you say your ankles are at oh man oh no no my left ankle is uh hold on let me readjust uh i think it's at like 54 right now what happened the gentle ghost made a reappearance uh and was not he's
Starting point is 00:16:39 he's aggressive he's an aggressive ghost now now. This had nothing to do with bicycles. I was walking... Emily and I were walking... We were walking a very boring block around the neighborhood with nothing to look at. It was a block like 215 for us. We were just walking around the neighborhood and I had a Sprite in my hand. It was empty and I went to throw it in a trash can,
Starting point is 00:17:06 like one of my neighbor's trash cans on the street. And I just looked at it and the trash can was up and I just like moved the Sprite in that direction. And the ghost slammed into me and just, I fell forward into the left and twisted my ankle like a high sprain, like a late, late in his career, LeBron sprain. And it hurt so bad that I was like, I was like, I was like, I'm like less.
Starting point is 00:17:34 I was a second away from my bone going out of my ankle. I don't know what the fuck happened. It was such force that I like, I yelped and then I stood up and Emily looked at me and she was like what the fuck is wrong with you and then I had to have her help me home like I had to put all my weight on her like a crutch and have her help drag me home and it was like three quarters of a block it took like 15 minutes and I couldn't walk for the rest of the day it was the craziest thing and I there was no hole in the ground there was no I didn't step off the curb it was the craziest thing and i there was no hole in the ground there was no i didn't step off the curb it was just on a flat sidewalk and my ankle just collapsed on
Starting point is 00:18:12 itself for no reason and it sprained so goddamn bad i'm so sorry nothing for a sprite trying to get rid of her just getting rid of it was empty was empty. I didn't even have the extra Sprite weight. It was gone. I think if you're going to fall with a beverage in your hand, like a popular soda, I think Sprite is the funniest. Why?
Starting point is 00:18:33 It's just something about I was holding a Sprite and then I fell is a lot funnier than I was holding a Coke and I fell. Or I was holding a Pepsi and there's something about Sprite.
Starting point is 00:18:42 Sprite is a funny word. What about Dr. Pepper? That's funny. What's the worst thing that could happen? Because it's a doctor. Are you happy somebody finally made your reference back to you after all these years? I think this is maybe a little local, but I think it would be embarrassing to fall with a Big Red because it's got the name Big Red.
Starting point is 00:19:00 But then also, if you spill anything, you're just covered in red fucking in like red soda yeah i would hate to follow that big red is really funny too that's a great one i have a i have a science question um for you guys i'm not very science minded but i had a thought the other day that i'm i'd like to run by you i'm curious if this would work have you guys had like boba tea oh with the little bubbles yeah you get the little balls in them have you tried that gavin I'd like to run by you. I'm curious if this would work. Have you guys had, like, boba tea? Mm-hmm. Oh, with the little balls? Yeah, you get the little balls in them.
Starting point is 00:19:29 Have you tried that, Gavin? Yeah, it's absolutely foul. Worst texture in liquid of all time. Oh, you don't like it? No. You don't like the little flavor things? Disgusting. Wow.
Starting point is 00:19:39 You hate it too, Geoff? Can't stand it. Wow. Okay. Me and Nick are all on board for this, so you can keep it going. Oh, Nick likes a food? Wow.
Starting point is 00:19:47 This actually, honestly... Yeah, get him, get him, get him! Jeff and Gavin might actually be the perfect people to run this scenario by in my head. So I was thinking, I had... Which is dangerous. I had a drink that contained kind of similar product to it and uh i noticed that
Starting point is 00:20:08 the ball went through my system and made it intact come on and it still worked like it was still intact so i thought well i mean like it was still poppable i guess like it didn't it didn't break down god so i had a thought of let's say you had like two liters of boba balls right and you drank all of them and then you got someone like uh this is just the first guy i think of with like strong legs you got like merco cro cop who was like known for kicking really hard if you drank a bunch of boba balls and then Mirko Crow cop kicked you in the stomach, could it pop the balls and you taste the flavor? Can you get the flavor of the balls through?
Starting point is 00:20:51 Why do you think you'd be able to taste with your stomach? Because there, there are taste receptors all throughout your gut. I mean, we taste, we tasted with our feet that worked. Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
Starting point is 00:21:03 I mean, you can look that up. I'm not a science man. I'm pretty sure I mean you can look that up I'm not a science man I'm just it's a thought I had of how funny it would be to like I don't know get kicked really hard or maybe like you hit your steering wheel in a car accident and you taste like flavor you get orange you get orange taste oh here we go Eric said uh you want to read that, Gavin? I think Eric should read that. Endocrine cells, orange comet-shaped cells in the gut villi have functional sweet and bitter taste receptors.
Starting point is 00:21:33 Not shown. There's an image here. At their apical... Damn it. This is where I lost it. Apical. Apicilluminal membranes. Apicilluminal membranes. Apicill luminal membranes.
Starting point is 00:21:46 Here we go. Sugars. See, Jeff should have read it. Sugars and other nutrients within the gut lumen activate the gut taste receptors leading to release of endocrine cell hormones. So the same taste receptors lining the tongue and palate also occur in the stomach, intestines, and other internal organs. Entero and decreen. You know what you could do if you were...
Starting point is 00:22:15 A, I think it would work, but B, you know what I think you could... There's a different use for that. If you were a spy, right? Okay. You know how back in the 50s and the 60s spies would have like uh they would have a false tooth that would have a yeah poison cyanide pill in it right what if you as a spy uh you just started ingesting spy filled boba tea all the time and then nothing happens to you you just shit it out you're fine no problem but on the day you get captured, if they catch you unaware,
Starting point is 00:22:46 as long as you've got those boba balls in you, if things are looking grim, you can instigate a fight with your captor or whatever. As soon as they try to torture you and they punch you really hard in the stomach, they kill you. You're dead. Mission accomplished.
Starting point is 00:22:58 And they don't get the secrets. That's a genius idea, Jeff. I was thinking more of a game show, maybe like a millionaire, but instead of trivia, you need to accurately describe the flavor that's inside of you. It's like somebody would kick you really hard.
Starting point is 00:23:14 And if you're accurate, if you're like, hmm, that's honeydew is what I had. Yeah. Then you go on to the next round. It's called kick taste. It's a great kick taste. It's a great new.
Starting point is 00:23:23 You know how like WWE has their own platform and their own app and their own programming? Their own OTT or VOD? There should be something for UFC like that. They've already tried to expand with that really bizarre slap fighting show, which I could not get behind or get into. It's terrible.
Starting point is 00:23:43 But what if they start to do stuff like this? They start to have UFC game shows like Taste the Kick and things like that. Yeah, that could be it could be a whole new avenue for it. It would be like their XFL. Yeah, like that's great. They must register different flavors, though, because if my gut ever comes back into my mouth, it tastes awful. And I feel like I'm not constantly tasting vomit. Gus always talks about that one time that he got food poisoning
Starting point is 00:24:07 after eating Rudy's barbecue and then the next day he threw up Rudy's barbecue and he said it was the best tasting vomit of his life. Yeah, and he like shit a bean out of his nose. Yeah, and he said it was confusing to him because it tasted good. I've done the same. I actually threw up Rudy's at your house, Jeff.
Starting point is 00:24:26 Did you really recently? No, I don't know. Probably 15 years ago. Oh, okay. Oh, in an earlier episode, by the way, I said that you stopped playing Fallout in 2007, but it was 2009. I got the trip wrong.
Starting point is 00:24:40 You guys really don't like Boba, huh? Nah. I like the Fett. I mean, how much do you like it would you like would you like like a boba steak well how would that work yeah i was gonna play with a knife what does that mean what does that mean like a slab of it but i don't know what that means like you swallow the drink and it just is you taste you pop the bubbles you cut the bubbles. You cut into a steak, like, and immediately the bubble pops. Do you want, like, a steak full of, like, Orbeez?
Starting point is 00:25:08 Like, is that what you're... Well, what's in the bowl? I don't know. Here's the thing. When I think about it too much, I think that they look like little dog eyes. What the... And I don't like that. I don't like that.
Starting point is 00:25:23 But that's not what it is. It's just tapioca. But, like... I don't like that. Oh, you're a- I don't like that. But that's not what it is, it's just tapioca. But like- Okay, what? I thought they were solid. I didn't know they had a- Boba? I didn't know they had like a filling.
Starting point is 00:25:30 What are you talking- What? Boba? Have you had boba? What's in them? Everything has a filling. It's not like it's like a filled thing. It's like tapioca.
Starting point is 00:25:38 Yeah, it's chewy tapioca. This is fucking gross. Yeah, but like the whole thing is one thing, right? There's not like an internal piece. Uh, I guess... I guess not? I don't know, what? There's not like an internal piece. I guess. I guess not. I don't know. It's not like somebody fills it with something.
Starting point is 00:25:49 What is a dog's eyeball made up of? There's probably veins and shit in there. There's probably things inside of a dog's eyeball. But what I'm saying is that's what I understand about the whole like getting punched and it releasing the thing. It's the thing already. Right. But I think that if you get punched and they're easily ruptured, I think you'll be tasting more of it in a different way.
Starting point is 00:26:08 Well, and I think what Andrew was saying as well is maybe you could inject something, a different flavor into the tapioca ball. Honeydew. Like honeydew or whatever. Oh, okay. This is like a mechanism of delivery. Yeah, or whatever a dog's eyeball tastes like.
Starting point is 00:26:20 Yeah. I mean, can I ask, does Grady Dick look more like the Hamburg burglar or do the Boba balls look more like dog's eyes to you, Gavin? What's I say? The Boba balls look like dog eyes. You think they look like little Hobbs eyes? They do.
Starting point is 00:26:33 I mean, poor little Hobbs. He's got little Boba eyes. In fact, if you if you see that picture of the orange drink. Yeah. The bottom right. There's like three. There's like two eyes and a nose below it. It makes it makes a little. It. The bottom right, there's like three, there's like two eyes and a nose below it.
Starting point is 00:26:46 It makes a little hob. It's little Hobbs in there. That's the essence of Hobbs. Poor little Hobbs. He's inside the drink. Get out of there, little buddy. Hey, I got a question for you guys.
Starting point is 00:27:02 Okay. That's kind of related to this. It was my morning thought today, actually. What happened to Silly Straws? Like Curly Whirly Straws? Yeah, wasn't there? Well, that's not what we called them in America, but I love that that's what you called them in the UK,
Starting point is 00:27:18 I'm assuming. I feel like they were everywhere for most of my life and my childhood, and they were always fun. And I just feel like we got away from silly straws hard to clean maybe we should pivot back to silly straws would you enjoy a drink more if you had to suck it through the entire face logo yes yes i would yes i would because i would because i think i would like it's like written out like a neon sign. That would be so big.
Starting point is 00:27:52 I just feel like the world was a happier place. The world was a happier place when people used. Did you imagine being in like a park and seeing somebody with a giant face? I'm just drinking through my favorite podcast. The straw would contain more liquid than the drink. I wonder if you could... It would all be sucked up. It would all be in the straw. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:16 I wonder if you had a full Gerpler, how much of the... How much would be in the cup by the time some of it is touching your mouth? Right. Could you empty the cup before you get any in your mouth? Can you imagine how psychotic you would look in a public space with a gerbler and this giant face straw? You would have to sell it with like a flushing tool. Oh my god. I tell you what you'd
Starting point is 00:28:46 make an entrance on that scene yeah i i looked up custom silly straws just to see custom is not super long of a word and doesn't look like a show logo but look at how many curves and turns are in there oh my god that is half a bottle in there. Absolutely. If we do a Gerpla one, we need to have a wider, like a bigger, a lower gauge straw. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We need like a thick straw that would
Starting point is 00:29:15 be able to suck up Boba. We're gonna have to add two more letters to that. Yeah, that's only six letters custom. And I think it has to be stacked. It's gotta be stacked. It's gotta be like a logo. Yeah, we should make six letters custom. And I think it has to be stacked. It's got to be stacked. It's got to be like a logo. Yeah, we should make these because whenever we sell like a drinks-based receptacle,
Starting point is 00:29:31 it always goes really well. All right, let me... Let me throw it into the merch slack. Hang on. This show is sponsored by BetterHelp. There are times, especially growing up, where it's just so difficult to decide what direction you want to go in, whether it's career or personal life, and especially like in the context of career, figuring out what ultimately is satisfying to you is a constant process.
Starting point is 00:30:03 And maybe something that is beneficial to you now won't always be. You just, in my experience, have to try stuff and learn from those experiences that you have. And sometimes in life, we're faced with tough choices and the path forward isn't always clear. Even when it is clear, it isn't always easy. You know, it's kind of a great aspect of therapy and being able to talk to someone. Whether you're dealing with decisions around career, relationships, or anything else, therapy helps you stay connected to what you really want while you navigate life so you can move forward with confidence and excitement. Trusting yourself to make decisions that align with your values is like anything. The more you practice it, the easier it gets. Therapy is a wonderful process to go through.
Starting point is 00:30:39 It is something that has greatly impacted my life in countless beneficial ways. It's a process I still engage in. It's, in my experience, extremely beneficial. So if you're thinking of starting therapy, give BetterHelp a try. It's entirely online, designed to be convenient, flexible, and suited to your schedule.

You ever look at a fork?
Starting point is 00:33:09 Yeah. Most days, yeah. What does a fork look like to you? It's four toothpicks or three toothpicks on a stick. Oh my god, are you serious? I was just about to say it's like four toothpicks. Yeah, well, that's what it looks like, so it makes sense. I guess that's true, but it's not a phrase.
Starting point is 00:33:28 That's not where we're going with this. If I look at a fork, what I think it looks like is it looks like my hand. It looks like my hand from my elbow to... Like, this is a... Hold on, so I'm going to take a photo. Okay. Now I can kind of see where you're looking at my hand right now. Oh, so you like tuck the thumb in and you've just got a fork? Yeah, I can see what you mean.
Starting point is 00:33:47 Here's a perfect example. I feel like you're about to Steve Jobs us and be like, we don't need forks, we have five of them in our hands. Well, I was thinking the other day about how, if you think about it, we invented the fork I think around 1000 BC in Venice, right? And people have been using forks ever since.
Starting point is 00:34:12 But we haven't really done much with them since that moment. Not a lot of innovation. Not a lot of fork innovation. They've tried the spork. That's probably the last innovation I'd say in that space, but that didn't catch on. No. Some people like it, some people
Starting point is 00:34:27 don't. Not widely available. I hate how fucking hard it is to send a fucking photo to this fucking Discord for my fucking podcast. I was just gonna show you my
Starting point is 00:34:43 stupid hand. It's not important at all. to show you my stupid hand. Okay, well, I can imagine. I don't need the visual. Imagine, if you will, my hand. No, I want to see it. No, that's it.
Starting point is 00:34:51 No, yeah, you got to show it to us. Well, ignore how much it was built up because of shitty Discord. All right, well, I won't. Take a break,
Starting point is 00:34:57 and then I'll... Okay, browse. No. All this stays in. Why is this so hard? I want people to know how much... I want other people to start hating discord as much as i hate it i hate discord i don't really do with the app you're trying to
Starting point is 00:35:11 send a photo through the app he's probably using his phone i'm using my phone i'm using my phone yeah but you use the phone app download the app for that let me see if i can do it this way this makes it easy copy photo nice fucking face You try to use the discord browser through the file. Yeah, there we go, okay? Okay, yeah, so some tucked in this was so worth it. Yeah, it's so worth it. I want that fucking photo That's a fork right yeah, yeah, so we already have forks Like God or whoever gave them to us, or natural selection created forks.
Starting point is 00:35:48 Right? We have a fork on each arm, but we have a better version of a fork because we have a thumb. Right? Like, we have naturally improved upon the fork by having
Starting point is 00:36:03 by virtue of having a thumb. So why don't forks have thumbs? If we could add a thumb to all forks, could we make forks better? I love it when I'm eating a load of steak and then the thumb of the fork hooks on the side of my lip. I mean, I don't know. Do the finger tines ever hook on you in any way? Oh. Oh, that's nice and touching.
Starting point is 00:36:31 Yeah, that's nice. Eric found some sort of a wooden spaghetti fork spoon. A wooden spaghetti fork spoon is what I found. That's nice. That's what I'm talking about. But what would the beauty of the thumb is that you can sort of maneuver it very well. What does a fixed thumb get you with on a fork? The same thing that other fixed tines get you.
Starting point is 00:36:57 Right. So what? Do you just want a five tine fork? It gives you a little. Here's the thing. I don't know. Because I haven't tried it yet. I don't know. Because I haven't tried it yet. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:37:06 So the food doesn't slip down? Yeah, I'm working on a theory here. I'm just... By looking at, like, if you boil a fork down to what it is and you boil a hand down to what it is, they're almost identical, but one is better
Starting point is 00:37:20 because it has an extra digit in a different place. And I just feel like I don't know that it's better. I just have a feeling that if I were to invent it and I were to start to use it, I would go like, oh, this makes so much more sense. Huh. I feel like you're getting some of the benefits of a fork
Starting point is 00:37:35 and a spoon at the same time without having an ugly spork, which is useless. And maybe it would cradle your mouth a little. I think you're onto something potentially. I think there's definitely work to do in the lab for you. I don't want it to look like a hand though.
Starting point is 00:37:52 I don't want to have to imagine that I'm sucking food off of some fingers every time I'm using the product. Which is looking at that spaghetti hand thing that Eric posted is all I can think about. I don't want to suck off a thumb to get my fucking spaghetti see i have no problem with that i feel like a lot of the time as well
Starting point is 00:38:10 when i eat i'm trying to get a bite of everything on the plate on on the same fork right i don't i'm not a freak like was it nick who just eats the ingredients and like works his way through yeah yeah he'll do that yeah i that. If I'm eating steak and potato and maybe some fruit or some veg on the side, I want a little bit of all of it. And sometimes, if you've put the potato on
Starting point is 00:38:30 and you've put the meat on, it's very hard to get a tomato or something, you know? Because you crush it. But the thumb would help pierce a little cherry tomato. And it would be really good
Starting point is 00:38:44 for getting all the different bites on the same bite it's like a it's a flavor enhancer is what it is it allows you to get that one extra component on your fork yeah the crushable component that fires off your plate if you squash it with meat now before we get too far away we just need to talk about the fact that gavin in an isolated thing i said that i do not want to suck off a thumb for spaghetti and then Gavin said well that's what I like about it you said something along the lines of supporting it and then ended your statement with Nick is a freak you were agreeing with Jeff's point of like having more prongs or whatever but I said I don't want to suck off a thumb
Starting point is 00:39:24 and you said well I do that's what I like about this process I'm saying the wooden one the wooden one doesn't bother me it doesn't they've got no problem with it I don't like it does a knife or a spoon need a thumb that's interesting a knife thumb like if a spoon had a thumb
Starting point is 00:39:40 you could potentially open a yogurt lid with it I wonder why we don't have fork knives. I think you would cut your mouth. Where you have like four knives in a row. No, just to help you cut more. Like, imagine if they were spaced a little bit
Starting point is 00:39:56 further apart, and you wanted to cut your steak, you could cut four pieces at once. Do you think, Jeff, that your background as Wolverine makes you think about your hands as tools it might it absolutely might that might be part of what part of this but i bet that but i have to draw on my experience right did wolverine ever eat office clothes absolutely he must have at some absolutely uh before we get too far from the fork i've been looking into what exactly it is and why it was created uh this guy uh kisuke suba subaki moto
Starting point is 00:40:32 nailed it i think uh won second place in a japanese design contest where we he won five thousand dollars creating this fork with a thumb and when when I put his stuff into Google Translate for what this is, a fork with the kindness and warmth of a thumb. You can enjoy your meal and you can support the food you put on it. In modern times, it is easy to forget that food is grown,
Starting point is 00:40:59 transported, and prepared by humans in cities where it is difficult to see human involvement. This fork gently teaches us that food culture is supported by human hands through eating. If you can live your diet as a consumer, not just a consumer, you will be able to enjoy your daily life more deeply. Jeff, do you think that's what you were getting at? Eric, I feel like that's what I said almost verbatim. There you have it.
Starting point is 00:41:28 If you had two of those hand forks and you sort of turned them thumb inwards, could you use the two thumbs as chopsticks? Mmm. Fucking Wolverine thing is so great. What is happening there? Wolverine at a cookout with like hot dogs and steak he turned his claws into shish kebabs essentially imagine like the opening or ending of a fast and
Starting point is 00:41:55 furious film but wolverine is there and the whole barbecue is on his hands he's got shrimp he's got sausages he's got i think what that guy said is interesting, of thinking about your fingers as having personalities. Oh, Eric, corn on the claws. Corn on the claws. It's just a three-pronged cob holder. Yeah, corn on the cob holder. But viewing your fingers is having personality do you think
Starting point is 00:42:27 your thumb is the like warm and kind one of your hand do you think that's the vibe of a thumb absolutely because i don't i don't feel i feel like my thumb has a napoleon complex i feel like my thumb is kind of it's always like starting on the other fingers yeah it's sort of i don't know it's not fun easily irritable it's sort of, I don't know. It's not fun, easily irritable. It's not great. I think my little finger's probably a little mischievous. Likes to get into trouble. It's like the arrow of the hand.
Starting point is 00:42:53 It's the arrow of the hand, I think. Yeah, I think the warm... Warm is somewhere between the other three fingers. What is that? It's a guy with a long thumb. It's a long thumb. I was thinking about if a longer longer thumb is warmer get out of it that is such an eric photo i'm just curious how many knuckles are in there he's got regular normal knuckles yeah just stretch crazy he just long thumb warm and inviting i look at that and
Starting point is 00:43:20 i think his dad was et that was where my brain goes I bet he's the best hitchhiker in the world. Oh. Well that was kind of the whole premise of Even Cowgirls Get the Blues, right? Uma Thurman had huge thumbs. I have no idea. Yeah, I'm not familiar with that. It's a book and movie. Ah! Never heard of it.
Starting point is 00:43:40 Hold on. Did Tony Scott direct it? Was it stylized? I don't know who directed it. Did they enhance in that film you know what another overly stylized movie is behind enemy lines with Owen Wilson I don't know the last time anyone here has watched behind enemy lines but I was looking at it
Starting point is 00:43:55 I was watching clips of it recently there you go there's a lot of unnecessary editing thumb in that movie oh that is yeah oh my god that thumb is so big oh I think I just have it. I found the new weird thing that I just don't like. Yeah, there's her. There's her. Big thumbs. You're against. You're against
Starting point is 00:44:11 thumbs. They are warm and inviting. You don't want to suck this off while you eat from a fork or whatever. I'm just checking. You can have a whole plate of spaghetti on that thumb. I'm just checking. You can have a whole plate of spaghetti on that thumb. I'm never going to stop sending images. I can't get enough of these. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:44:35 Those are powerful thumbs. Yeah, this is fucked up to send this to people. Is the premise that they have big hands in this movie? No, she just has big thumbs. Okay. I read the book when I was like 19. I'll be honest, I can't fucking I can't remember
Starting point is 00:44:54 what it was about. She was just a hitchhiker though. I remember that. Just her story. That makes sense. What a weird Hmm. Yeah, so think about it. The fork thumb. I would probably do it differently than that brilliant designer
Starting point is 00:45:10 with the warm feelings, but I might... If I can get into some spot welding or something, I might try to make up some prototypes. I would gladly buy your fork thumb product as well as the face logo.
Starting point is 00:45:23 Crazy straw. But we got it. This is a sad day, guys. This is there is a market crash that has occurred. Oh, no. Not to be overly discussing McDonald's, but I placed an order. I got some chicken nuggets and I went in when, you know, when you put in your order, you have to click what sauces you want.
Starting point is 00:45:44 Did you do your hack? Oh hack oh no that's a breakfast tap only this is a lunch order get my nuggets going into the sauces they fucking they brought back the bts sauces they fucking brought them back they brought them back the market is flooded once again they've devalued the stash. They've devalued the stack. I have hundreds of BTS sauces still useless you held on to a long oh I held on well there's never a peak in the market The market never existed. Maybe there's some value. Maybe you have like a first run BTS sauce I like that's optimistic thinking may have anything on it that says that it's first edition. There is a slight difference between the two.
Starting point is 00:46:32 There's the name of the flavor in Korean on mine, and it's just there's no Korean writing on the other ones. Oh. So there's a slight difference. Maybe you're right. I think that's a big distinction, actually. Do you think if I mail these in to like PSA, can I get them graded? Yeah. I think they can grade my sauce. Yeah, I think that's a big distinction, actually. Do you think if I mail these in to, like, PSA, could I get them graded?
Starting point is 00:46:46 Yeah. I think they could grade by size. Yeah, I think they could. Yeah, what do they not grade? What would they send back? I mean, they grade... Is there a limit? They grade just about anything. Yeah, I think that you should send probably four or five,
Starting point is 00:46:59 so that way they can compare and contrast. A range, yeah. This is a nine, and then they look at this other one, they're like, never mind, that one's a nine too. You know what I mean? I'm looking to doing that. I was going to make my own, but I'd like to get it
Starting point is 00:47:10 professionally graded. I don't trust my system. I had a, I was watching Sloppy Joe's the other day, and I had a realization. And I was going to see what you guys thought about this.
Starting point is 00:47:21 I think you could build an entire wardrobe of clothes of shirts out of purely out of spoofs of acdc logos or possibly metallica you could do metallica as well there are so many that that does have to be the two most ripped off logos of all time well you could have 20 shirts in your closet that were all acd shirts acdc shirts that weren't acdc shirts do you have an example sure uh abcd oh yeah just the lightning bolt and the font style any word with an I in it. Yeah, ADHD, ABCD. I saw one.
Starting point is 00:48:06 Yeah, you're right. I saw one the other day. Here's one. Here's a great one for Texas. Taco. What about HSBC? Here's a funny one that I had never seen before. This is an ACDC.
Starting point is 00:48:18 TMNT? Enjoy your cock? That's a cool one. Yeah, I don't know. i was just thinking about it and that they're so fucking many and i see them all the time that uh i wonder i wonder if anybody has ever keyed in and decided like that's going to be their thing i'm gonna have like metallica shirts there aren't metallica shirts they're helvetica shirts or maybe you're maybe you're really religious and they're Jesus shirts. Should we sell a shirt that just says face, but in like wingdings?
Starting point is 00:48:55 I like the idea. I feel like we got to get the crazy straw going first. There's a Don Zimmer one. Don Zimmer one. Sick. That D doesn't register at all as a D. No. It looks like it says own Zimmer.
Starting point is 00:49:09 Oh, dude, speaking of Don Zimmer, I saw one of these in the wild. What is that? It's a Zimmer. That's a Zimmer? Where'd you see that car? I've never seen a Zimmer car before. It looked freakish, and I looked at the back of it.
Starting point is 00:49:22 It said Zimmer on the back. I don't know if that was a make of of car or whether the owner put Zimmer on it. That's crazy. But yeah, I just Googled Zimmer and it's like, that's what it was. I don't even know how to describe it. That would be like, imagine what a Italian gangster Batman villain would drive in Gotham. And like a Tim Burton movie. Zimmer Golden Spirit.
Starting point is 00:49:45 Dang. That's never heard of that. Should we should we make that the official vehicle of the podcast? The Zimmermobile. Absolutely. How much do you think those cars cost? More than 10. Two hundred grand.
Starting point is 00:50:01 What if we put a picture of it on the obelisk? I can't wait to find out what the name of that town is. Look at the horns, dude. What if we just put that on two raised posts and that will be our billboard? Are we going to talk about the idea for what happens with the loser? Because it's not just about the winner.
Starting point is 00:50:23 Or do you want to save that for the actual show? I don't know. Let's talk about the idea for the loser because it's not just about the winner or we or do you want to say what was the actual show i don't know i don't need let's talk about the idea for the loser because i don't remember you really don't remember it either no i will the second i say it we had an idea where the winner gets the billboard but the loser isn't the person who's eliminated first it's the person who loses in the finals who comes in second place which is somehow i don't know funny to be like worse to get that close and lose that's fantastic jeff bought those oh red boots the red meme boots big red boots that's right he bought these and was wearing them around his house when he made us watch him play a video game to get his achievement. He was clamping around and then he was playing.
Starting point is 00:51:08 That's so good. That's right. So the loser of this competition when we do it, the winner gets the billboard in the epicenter of the universe. And then the loser who gets second place, not third through sixth or whatever, has to walk around the mall in those boots for an hour.
Starting point is 00:51:28 Yeah, we have to be able to see him do it and everything. Go grocery shopping or has to be out in public in those dumb shoes. And by the way, wear pads because they rubbed my shins off after about 15 minutes. So I was dude, your shins were raw. That was crazy. I wanted to send this picture also, but it fucked up, and now it's good. A little Hasbulla.
Starting point is 00:51:50 Uh-huh. See? I love that as a loser punishment. Yeah, those are right. Isn't that great? I also love the idea of it's who comes in second, not who comes in last. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:01 Those boots were so stupid, I had to to get them and i'm glad we figured out something to do with them and they delivered they delivered on stupidness not just in how they look oh it's a photo of you in the boots that's how he was dressed with his little hat and then he made us watch him play video games and it really i don't know what it is. You look like you're wearing plungers. Like more so than other people in the boots. The way he was moving around was great. They're not easy to walk in. What was your mobility like in this? Like 75%.
Starting point is 00:52:36 Really? Okay. You wouldn't want to do a marathon in them. You wouldn't want to do a marathon in them, but you could definitely walk around the mall and eat at Sbarro. Nick says it looks like you stole those off a giant caterpillar What cat is there like a Mario character that has I'm seeing the same thing
Starting point is 00:52:56 Yeah, like you fucking beat up a goomba why she's designed they're based off Astro Boy, right ah Does it have rockets in him there mega these do not have rockets i'd assume that's what i'm thinking of that caterpillar with the flower what was that like a wiggler or something his name is wiggler yeah you jump on his head and he goes all red this flower falls off something really funny about beating up a wiggler and stealing his shoes. Hey, look, that's pissed wiggler.
Starting point is 00:53:29 Oh, pissed wiggler. So mad. I mean, wouldn't you be mad if someone jumped on you, right? That's what the loser is going to look like. That's what second place is.
Starting point is 00:53:37 That's fantastic. Ah, so I guess we'll do that when we get around to doing that. Yeah, that sounds great. That thing, which we'll probably start to fuck with after RTX. I made a I wasted my time recently.
Starting point is 00:53:48 I made a dumb mistake. Was that fucked up? I went to the doctor recently and like talking about anxiety thing. And so I'm like, I'm getting a prescription for it. And I had to I didn't have to. But it was like, hey, do you want to talk to somebody about anxiety? And I was like, I've never done that professionally. So, yeah, sure.
Starting point is 00:54:04 Why not? I'll try it. And so I agreed to this appointment where I was going to talk to somebody about anxiety and i was like i've never done that professionally so yeah sure why not i'll try it and so i agreed to this appointment where i was going to talk about it and then getting up to the appointment i was feeling anxious because it's like i don't really i don't know how to necessarily talk about it it's not something i've had a conversation with in that way like a therapy thing sort of yeah like a through the clinic almost therapy type discussion yeah i didn't really know they're just like hey do you want to do this while we also give Sort of, yeah, like a through the clinic, almost therapy type discussion. Yeah, I didn't really know. They're just like, hey, do you want to do this while we also give you medication for it? And I said, why not? So I was looking into it and I found I was like on the site and I'm on my phone and I found this other link and I'm like going from web page to web page.
Starting point is 00:54:39 And I finally found it. And they had all these modules. It was like a 10 module process thing. I thought oh this is great like this is I assume what we'll go through on the call like we'll start the first module and we'll talk about things if I can do this now I'll be prepared for going into that that discussion and that will make me feel better so I'm reading through it and there's all these exercises in it of like these are common trigger points or like things you could feel.
Starting point is 00:55:05 How many of these do you feel? Writing that down. And it's like, think about how you feel in this scenario and list all of these things. And like some of them are like heavier emotional questions. And then at the end, there is this giant like sheet thing I had to print out. Almost like a school assignment of like spider web type feeling things of like cause and effect and all that shit. So I did all this work and I organized it and then a few days pass and it's like five minutes before I'm going to have my call. And I think, oh, I should I should
Starting point is 00:55:38 pull up all that stuff. And also, I don't even remember what the name of that organization was. I should have that as well. So I can direct the conversation and be like, oh yeah, I was on the site. I found these, these things, uh, and I prepared for this. Uh, so I'm looking around and there's nothing immediately on the form for it at the top or anything. There's not like a logo or a company name. And so I was scrolling through and I eventually found a block of text and I'm reading
Starting point is 00:56:05 I'm like oh this is great this is what it is and I'm reading the address of the thing and it's like oh yeah I remember those letters that's exactly it and I'm continuing to read the domain and I realized it ends in dot au and I think that can't be correct and so I click it and it takes me to an Australian website I don't know how i got there i ended up on a random australian anxiety support site and i did their entire first module for no reason didn't come up once during the call had nothing to do with anything completely irrelevant i wasted like an hour doing a module for something that had nothing to do with what i was doing did you find it helpful in any way not necessarily because it was a lot of the setup to what would then be helpful
Starting point is 00:56:52 it was a lot of the things to discuss on that how did you i don't know i was on my phone and i was i clicked one thing and i couldn't like i just was going from site to site and that's where i ended up and it seemed to fit and so i did it but it's not it was not relevant in any way they so you understandably to go into this thing and be like yeah i've studied all the material that they i thought that i was gonna get a leg up and be like oh i'm already ready for module two let me i thought i was gonna impress them be like nah no i everything down. I got all the answers for you. Instead, I was directed to anxietycanada.ca, which makes a lot more sense,
Starting point is 00:57:30 but was not a site that I had explored previous. Was any of the examples, did it give any Australian hints, looking back on it? No. No, I would have. If there was a Tim Tam somewhere in the document, boomerang phobia.
Starting point is 00:57:44 Vegemite, if there was any mention of Vegemite if there was any mention of Vegemite are you concerned about spreading Vegemite the public's pay? I would have got it. I would have been like wait a second There was when you went through your Canadian site. Did you find any similarities between the material? I haven't gone through this is just like yes Oh, you're probably exhausted from doing the other module. Yeah, take a break. Yeah, I need to like yesterday you're probably exhausted from doing the other module yeah take a break yeah no i need to back up to start a whole new plan i just love the idea of you only being being able to handle australian anxiety i got my hands i got a real control if we ever go to australia oh boy i'm ready i've studied for
Starting point is 00:58:22 this yeah don, don't think of it as wasting your time. Think of it as being super fucking prepared for a very unlikely eventuality. Oh, that's really funny. I felt real dumb. I did all that work.
Starting point is 00:58:41 Oh, man. That's amazing. Don't feel bad, dude. I feel dumb all the time. Like, 22 out of 24 hours a day, I feel stupid. There's a hundred, what, 64 episodes of dumb? Here?
Starting point is 00:58:56 There's 163, maybe? Yeah, I wonder if we've had an episode without any dumb in it. No. Oh, 0% chance of that happening. I saw a bunch of comment leavers discussing our episodes and how accessible they are to a new audience and stuff.
Starting point is 00:59:10 And they were actually referring to some episodes. It's like, yeah, this is a good beginner episode. This one's intermediate. This one's expert. Ranking them, how deep into the nothing lore they were.
Starting point is 00:59:23 And I love that our podcast can be ranked like that. Oh, speaking of something to love about our podcast, did you guys see, you know, we had that conversation about school songs. Did you guys see the user that, not user, did you guys see the community member that made the Pride of F*** Face song? No.
Starting point is 00:59:39 There's a Pride of F*** Face song? Yeah, you should. I know we need to wrap up, but you guys should listen to this. Maybe Nick, you can play it in the episode or something. We'll get permission from the kid.
Starting point is 00:59:46 Okay. Let's listen to this. All right, listen to it now. Welcome to the Zim Zone. We don't deal in pleasantries. We'll curse your socks with broken ankles while watching MVP.
Starting point is 01:00:03 We'll scrumper Cosmic crisp but eating pencils is just wrong you're a regulation lister now that you have heard the song it's so good there are 20 000 things to name bovril root canals and beans blind siding and bat knobs and what extra media means and if you know the lyrics leave a comment sing along or just raise a laugh you're grown too ben you can That's fantastic. Now that would be great to sing. Like everyone's grow tube going off at the same time. I love it.
Starting point is 01:00:53 So there you go. That was, at least it was posted by someone named soup taker on Reddit. I assume that's the person that made it. So good. Brilliant. The brilliant lyrics. Just a beautiful voice. like what a talented musician
Starting point is 01:01:07 very current too very client side reference very current and very like yeah just like just nailed it perfect execution so i was blown away by that i wanted to make sure you guys saw it too i love that once again the community proves to be way more talented than us. Oh, by miles. As always. I enjoy the blind side because it is emerging in ways that I didn't even anticipate. When we recorded our two drafts, Jeff was convinced the blind side was coming because there was two of them. We're doing drafts on a Monday. I hadn't heard of one of the two drafts we were going to do until the text conversation.
Starting point is 01:01:42 It all seemed fucking just sketchy as as all hell and i was mad at myself the whole time for introducing this back into my life but then we just did the drafts i had fun in the last two drafts i did too they're great drafts did you feel old like did did make you feel old in any way looking back at commercials from your childhood yes that was a weird side product for me like i remember being a little kid and hearing my mom describe of like for a nickel we got 15 popcorns and six bags of candy and just be like oh that feels old as shit that was a long time ago and then seeing commercials from like the late 90s where kfc is selling 13 a 13 piece bucket for 13 dollars
Starting point is 01:02:27 and just being like holy what 13 dollars inflation in your lifetime yeah i'm seeing inflation and it's it's upsetting i've turned into that is my theater thing of the candy and like the popcorn that is my nickel story chicken has fucking gone up astronomically. I always feel old when people I grew up watching or listening to are married to people younger than me. Like Britney Spears' husband was born in 1994. That makes me feel old as shit. Yeah. Well, I just had this happen the other day, actually.
Starting point is 01:03:03 I'm pretty... Once you get up to my advanced age, you're acutely aware of how old you are at all times. And you just see it constantly. But I got surprised with it the other day when I was thinking about when I was in high school. I was telling a story to somebody. And I was thinking about when I was in high school and how I used to drive around. Like, when I turned 16, I got my license.
Starting point is 01:03:20 I was gone every second of the day that I could be. And I would just drive around in my car and listen to CDs from like 7 p.m. until like 11 p.m. or whenever my parents made me come home. And I would just drive through neighborhoods and just by myself just to be away. And I was thinking about that and I was like, how the fuck did I afford all that gas?
Starting point is 01:03:37 That was a lot. I blew through a lot of gas. Gas is like four bucks a gallon. And then I was like, how much did I make back then? And I was working as a tool repair man and i was making like four dollars and 65 cents an hour i think that was what uh i think that was what minimum wage was and i was like damn i was making like i was making like a gallon an hour and then i and then i was like oh yeah gas was like 72 cents when i was in high school it was almost fucking free i could fill up my I could fill up my entire car for like eleven dollars when I was in
Starting point is 01:04:05 high school and that made me feel very old that's crazy I guess is it yeah well no I'm just thinking about was that was the I nobody has anything left to talk about I'll just throw out of that's crazy moment no no I was saying we should write oh that's what I'm saying it's happening in front of me I always
Starting point is 01:04:23 used to fit like this I guess you didn't have a little like Fred what were those things Freddo frogs or something what the fuck Freddo frogs yeah I feel like that's familiar no they were always like 16p or something and then watching the price of those go up I didn't have a car I didn't right yeah the little chockeys yeah the little chocolate yeah chocolate. Yeah. What do you mean? Oh. Oh, yeah, Freddo. They don't have that in America, but I've seen it in England. They usually have the price on the packet, which I think is...
Starting point is 01:04:52 That's because I didn't have a car. That's my gas thing. That's your gas? The price of Freddo. The price of Freddo's? Yeah. I think they were like 15p when I was a kid. They were always the cheapest chocolate to get.
Starting point is 01:05:06 What's crazy, I was a kid? Always the cheapest chocolate to get. What's crazy I was thinking about is like as far as feeling old goes, I don't think there are people, like if someone was like 15 now, they don't even really have commercials in the way that we experience them. No, not at all. Nobody watches TV now.
Starting point is 01:05:22 I'm essentially the cutoff for when you could do that. I have a 17 year old daughter who doesn't know what TV is in the in the sense that I know what it is like cable means nothing to her satellite means nothing to her broad like over the air broadcast means nothing like TV to Millie
Starting point is 01:05:37 is YouTube and Netflix and Hulu and whatever other streaming service and yeah yeah it's like the world is totally different. Yeah, I don't even know what the comparable would be.
Starting point is 01:05:49 What would that... I just don't think it exists. Well, like a live event maybe. Yeah. People still want to watch live sports, don't
Starting point is 01:05:56 they? Otherwise it's irrelevant. None of my friends, just me and Eric. Yeah, if a sport isn't live, I'm not probably going to watch it. There's no way so so even if nick is the same even if you were at work when the game was on and then you've recorded it you're coming home
Starting point is 01:06:11 it was like four hours ago you don't know the result is it less exciting for you you're you're you're posing a scenario that i've never done where it's recording sports oh what if it was the the world cup final i do that i record record Celtics games if I can't watch them live so that I can catch up and I try to avoid the scores. My sport is baseball. They play 162 of them. I don't need to make sure I watch every one. There was one going
Starting point is 01:06:36 on earlier today, like a Padres game, and I don't... I'll keep an eye on the score, but I don't need to watch 100% of the games during the season. It'll make me insane if I do that. what if there were just 40 games yeah i mean i i guess like an nfl season like yeah what like yeah i mean like but but even then even when i was a chargers fan there's 16 games or were and uh if i missed one it would be like i'll keep an eye on the score and hopefully we won but i'm not gonna go back i have endless access to every highlight that I would ever need.
Starting point is 01:07:08 And I don't need to sit there and watch every play. It's, it's fun live, but I just can't, I can't do it. So if you, if the, if the U S was in the world cup final, right. And you had to do a, like a break shit stream, would you just watch it there? And then on the stream or would you? watch it there and then on the stream? No, I think I would put work first because I'm pretty dedicated to this show. What if it hadn't happened since 1966 or whatever?
Starting point is 01:07:36 Well, I mean, I think I'm pretty dedicated to this show and the people in it, and so I think I would put your guys' feelings first and really just try to give, and the fans. I would try to put the fans first and really just try to give, and the fans. I would try to put the fans first and really just give them the most of me that I could possibly give.
Starting point is 01:07:52 You're a man of the people. Oh, 100%. I think if there's one thing you could say about me, it's that. I guess it was only the Euros. It wasn't the World Cup. I actually will sometimes when I'm
Starting point is 01:08:07 watching live sports which is pretty often I'll just pause for like the first 10 minutes of the game or 15 minutes of the game just to let to let to let a buffer queue up so I can fast forward through commercials that's fair because I'll be caught up with the game by halftime you know right yeah the thing that you want the experience of like live and in the moment that's sort of the problem even if i don't know the result i feel like if something truly insane happened i would have heard about it in some way well that's the fact i didn't means nothing did that was always the thing with me like when i lived in england for watching the euros or watching the world cup is that you couldn't save it for later if you were at home
Starting point is 01:08:42 because while most of us lived in like terraces or semi-detached houses and you could hear people screaming through the walls you'd be like oh damn and this is like when you can fast forward it's really tough for me to not be like why don't i just see how this went like why don't i just fast forward to the end if we lost do i really want to watch three hours of us oh? Oh, trust me, dude. Celtics are down by 17 in the second quarter. I'm fast-forwarding through most of it until I start to see that number change. I don't need to watch us lose for no reason by 15 points
Starting point is 01:09:17 for the fucking 10 billionth time in the last four years. So now that we've done two of these, are we in a prime blindside position, Eric? Are those okay? I mean, yeah, we could be at this point. We're probably going to likely miss next week, but we can try. We'll see. But we do need to end this one in order for any of that to occur.
Starting point is 01:09:36 So if we keep this going, there's no blindsides. We have RTX next week. Is it on Thursday? I have a lot of prep to do on Thursday. All right. You need to change the day, Eric. I'm available.
Starting point is 01:09:49 He said it. It was weirdly smug when he said that, and I don't like it. I agree. But Eric did say earlier, Gavin, that if we wanted to do one next week, Wednesday might be a good day to do it. Yes. It is up to you guys. If we do want to do that, you just let me know,
Starting point is 01:10:03 and we can get it on the schedule and we can aim for it. Okay. I don't like the way he said okay. I don't like that either. Yeah. It's not just me, right? Gavin, you could have gotten out of here unscathed and now it's, I don't know what's happening. What's going on with you, Gavin? What's with that okay?
Starting point is 01:10:20 It was like 60% saying okay and 40% looking at my calendar and I just feel like overall it was fine. But maybe some of the energy went into the eyes instead of the mouth. Oh. Some of the energy. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 01:10:33 We need to wrap this up. We're getting insane. Like boba eyes? Like little hops? Little hops. Well, there you have it. You've listened to another episode of the face podcast we hope you liked it and
Starting point is 01:10:46 it had a good time and if you did maybe go out and celebrate get you some get you a nice refreshing eyeball tea and suck down those dog eyes and think about them and how painful it was for them to be taken out of their eyes while they were alive just so that you could eat a refreshing drink because I
Starting point is 01:11:03 hear that if you remove the eyes after the dog dies, it doesn't taste quite as sweet. We'll see you next week. Jesus. Hey, guys. Major League Fan Jack here with a look at next week's episode of F*** Face. Panton wants to play guitar. That's just a bad fork.
Starting point is 01:11:18 It's an RTX roundup. Bootleg Gerblers are out in the wild. It's a microwave pizza avalanche. How was Key West? And once again, Andrew does not eat the pencil. bootleg gerblers are out in the wild it's a microwave pizza avalanche how was key west and once again andrew does not eat the pencil all that and more on next week's episode of face
