Now listen to the episode
where we talk about it in the episode
and Gavin complains about it.
But honestly, we had to do this also
because for all the 10 of you who are like, I already knew this. There's a million who didn't. Thanks for listening.
Oh, get away from me guys. Oh, I'm going back in time. The time machine. I don't know where
I'm going.
Come back.
Eric, when can I schedule my lesson?
Call me.
Hello and welcome to another episode of the Regulation Podcast.
This is episode 28.
My name is Jeff Ramsey with me, as always, Andrew Panton, Gavin Free,
Eric Bedure and Nick Schwartz.
Hello. Hello.
Very special number.
Does anybody remember the 28th birthday? No.
Playing Minecraft.
Yeah, no, I don't.
Nothing stands out.
I actually listened to last last week's episode a little bit.
I don't ever do that anymore.
That's why I made that joke, because I.
So that would have been twenty sixteen for me.
I could probably see if I took a picture that day.
Dude, I bet you do. Oh, that was it was 2016 for Gavin.
I'm trying to think when did I turn 28?
How many how old are you, Gavin?
Thirty six.
OK, cool. So I'm two years older.
OK, cool. It's going to be a long day.
Yeah. What do you mean?
You said it was 2016 when Gavin turned that age and I just instantly went, OK,
I was so I was I was 28 and 2016. Let's see.
I immediately just went with like, OK, I guess we all were 28.
I just was like, OK, 2016, 28 year. OK, got it.
I think it was 2003 for me, maybe when I turned 28.
Also known as 2016.
I see.
Yeah, the other 2016.
So wait, who's wrong?
Am I wrong?
What? No, no, you're fine.
It's that you said that
and then it just got us numbers confused.
You're good, dude.
Yeah, you're great.
Yeah.
This is a rabbit on his heels, man.
He doesn't know where to attack.
Yeah.
Talk about a rabbit on his heels, man, he doesn't know where to attack. Yeah. Talk about a rabbit on his heels and attacking.
Gavin has become a bookcase guy.
We can't spend the whole of this episode
talking about Gears of War again.
No, I just did a quick mention.
Okay.
If there is a prompt on your screen, Eric,
do you feel compelled to press it?
What?
Yes. Just because there's's a lot of you.
He said, yeah, like on a computer.
Eric, no, like let's say you're playing a game.
OK, you walk into a room
and there's nothing in the room, but you get a prompt.
Do you have to hit it?
You don't have to hit it.
You should. Oh, like like it says, like all of a sudden, it's like X button.
There's just, yeah, like an X on your screen, not not like yelling, hey, push me, but just like, hey, you should. Oh, like like it says, like all of a sudden it's like X button. There's just yeah, like an X on your screen.
Not not like yelling, hey, push me, but just like, hey,
let's get hit if you want.
Let's change this.
Let's let's add to the stakes of this a little bit.
Let's say you're three hours into a fight
and you finally beat the fight.
Like you've been going to hit in your head pretty hard against this boss battle
or sequence of battles for like two and a half to three hours. And then you finally,
finally do it after so, so long.
But let me add more. Let me add more to it. You've been hiding behind cover the whole
game. There's little covers, there's upright cover, there's crouched down cover, right?
Suddenly towards the end of the game, in an end game scenario,
there's a little icon on one of the covers.
Okay.
But before you continue, before you continue, you just feel it's also
important to note that all of the reasons you need cover have now been dealt
with, all the cover no longer required because you've dealt with all the things
that require the cover.
All that needs to happen now is that we walk forward a few feet to collect a
checkpoint so that we can bank that last three hours of misery.
Sorry, continue. But you know, go ahead.
New button just says, you know, just as X.
It's like, oh, X opens doors, X opens safes sometimes.
X drops a bookshelf on Andrew and kills him instantly.
That's what X does. We finished everything.
We're all good.
And then Gavin walks into the room I've been in the whole time that I just have ignored
the prompt for and decide I got to hit this prompt.
And then he drops a bookcase on me, killing me.
And we have to do it all over again.
That's, to be fair, crazy timing, though.
What do you mean? You walked into my area because it was clear and then you dropped the bookcase on me and then we spent 45 more minutes fighting things we killed.
In fairness, I didn't see you. I just saw the prompt. When I tipped the bookcase over, all I heard was a splash and a ton of blood. I didn't even see that you were there
It was maybe the most defeat that's not true there other times were more defeated, but it was the bad one I was up there. It was up there
It was unfortunate and and if that sounds like a nightmare to you audience
Well, then buckle up because that was only top five. There's at least four others just as bad.
Yeah. Yeah.
No, not my strongest series.
I every time.
So we haven't done much as a full group this week.
Looking at the calendar, we had a sync on Monday.
And then since then. Well, you and I had a meeting Tuesday.
Yes. And then since then, as a full group, we have not done anything.
However, every time I open discord, you guys are recording gears.
What the hell?
We've been recording years for like six hours a day every day for the past two weeks.
It's outrageous.
Every day we finish and I lay down and I'm just wiped.
And I'll typically have like a 45 minute nap
and then be confused as to how we're still in this day.
It has been a toll.
Gavin and I go, I'm exhausted.
And Gavin and I go go, I'm exhausted.
And Gavin and I go, let's start again right now.
I cannot get enough of that misery.
I don't know why.
Oh, it's brutal, but it's it's so much fun.
We're close to the end.
I can taste it.
Well, we're past the end.
Now we're close to the beginning.
Yeah, we're close to the beginning.
You guys talked about this earlier where Jeff's like,
yeah, we beat, like we're done, like we beat it or whatever.
And then I said, we're done.
All I said was we beat it.
I don't, I still don't understand what,
so you're not, you beat it, but you're not done?
Well, here, let me, this could be up to you, Eric.
How do you find beat?
Is beat finishing the last level or is it finishing all parts of it?
Well, but what are you trying to accomplish?
I don't know. Do you have to go backwards?
What? Yes, because we started we thought the highest difficulty was one thing.
We completed Act one, Chapter one on insane,
which we thought was the hardest difficulty the game had.
And then in the second episode we recorded,
realized, oh, there is actually an even harder difficulty
we could do, let's do that.
So we, none of us have the achievement for beating the game
on the hardest difficulty,
because we still haven't done act one, chapter one.
So we just gotta go back and redo Act 1, Chapter 1.
But we beat the game yesterday.
Okay, okay.
We did beat the game.
That's some Andrew Brain stuff, by the way.
That's the way the heists keep going.
Where they start and Gavin goes,
did you put it on hard?
And Andrew goes, uh...
I forgot, yeah.
Oh, no.
But that'll be... You know, I forget. Yeah. Oh, no.
But that'll be you know, I see it. Jeff isn't out next week, but after he's out, we need to sync up
and do the same for the heists.
But isn't Nick out also?
When are you on Nick? Nick? Nick is only out like two days.
You guys should hard heist the week I'm out.
Yeah. Hell yeah.
We'll only have three days of heisting. I think there'll be that's fine
Oh, you know, but but I think we can
You put a solid six hours a day in that's a lot of us. We can also heist
There's so much heisting we can do next week also and that's true
And when this is out, we can't even do anything on Friday the 22nd at noon because we're doing a Mario
party
jamboree, 20 turn, uh,
GURPLER Twitch stream for the re- for the release of the GURPLER at, uh,
RegulationStore.com or RegulationStore.store.
Hell yeah we are. We got the GURPLER coming out.
We got the Mario party stream. Is that the most turns Gavin in that one?
20 turns?
I think 35 is the most turns. Oh my Lord. Oh Jesus. I just assumed we were doing the most turns. I think 35 is the most 10s. Oh, my Lord. Oh, Jesus.
I just assume we're doing the most turns.
I have no idea.
You guys told me that you're doing 20 turns when I made the event forever ago.
So we can change it.
But that's what that's what you said.
Do you think there's a battery in Canada strong enough to allow you to buy
a new dock?
I got the official cable as long.
I will test it to make sure we're all good.
But I don't think it should be an issue.
By the way, I found a video, a picture of that I took on my 28th birthday.
And it's a picture of Jeremy's desk in Achievement Hunter without the legs on.
And his chair without the swivel base.
That was was that the one where we lowered or raised it?
That was the lowered.
That was the lowered. Yeah. And then you saw that and where we lowered or raised it. That was the lower. I was the lowered
Yeah, and then you saw that and thought let's raise it
That was back man
Budget was a dangerous thing at times
Well, the budget for lowering the desk was zero dollars. So yeah, we've been we've been
And the budget for raising the desk was like eight Ikea bookshelves. I think the little tables
We had the we had the scissor lift at the office already.
OK. What was the budget for testing hot dogs and speed?
Is that three desks?
We had the desks, right?
Testing hot dogs.
Well, you put a hot dog on a desk and you raised it
and the hot dog would move faster.
Well, whatever the thing was. There were no hot dogs.
Wasn't there a dog on the desk?
Hey, Andrew, just checking.
Are you OK?
I said I wasn't already.
Was there not a dog on?
Wasn't that the item that if on the desk?
Wasn't it just a winner?
Maybe it came from dogs?
I mean, it was just it was just us on the desk though, wasn't it?
It became you guys, but I thought it was a dog thing at first.
You had a hot dog on the desk.
I don't know.
Maybe, maybe you're right.
I don't know.
I just remember arguing with Gracie and Emily for a whole break.
Yeah.
I remember you being right.
I thought it was a hot dog was the item that would accelerate Now I'm looking at the thumbnail and it is not a hot dog on a desk. However, it is
Gavin on a desk, which I think is not a hot dog, but it is Gavin
So Gavin, can you confirm not a hot dog? Not hot dog from my perspective? Okay
You know, it's funny that you guys are looking back at older content from...
That was F***face, right?
Probably?
Yeah, that had to be.
Okay.
Because I was thinking, to put this in the context of where we are in the universe right
now, we just recorded about an hour ago a piece of holiday supplemental that we have
coming out in December, I would guess, right?
And so we took a little break so I could take the dog out to go potty.
And while I was taking the dog out,
I was trying to prepare for this podcast and it hit me,
this is episode 28.
I wonder, it's a shame I don't have time to go back.
I'd love to listen to F***face episode 28
and see what we're talking about.
And then see if I could find something out of there
to sneak into this conversation.
But that just got me thinking,
oh, we're at a point now where we've got 28 episodes
of regulation that can directly compare
to 28 episodes of our other show.
All right, interesting.
You ready?
Yeah, what's the descriptor?
I'm all back slash the bat fiasco.
Jeff, Gavin, and Andrew talk about Andrew being
the most least prepared payoff to the ketchup bet Jeff's bats and more.
So this would have been at the time.
I was paranoid.
Where Jeff, I think Jeff was cutting bats.
Andrew was proclaiming that he was mostly back.
Yeah.
So it's a pretty, probably like pretty like lore heavy episode.
See yeah it was.
Interesting.
You had all the mini bats.
Did he saw off the mini bats?
Is that what he did with them?
No he sawed off regular bats.
I sawed off the regular sized bats.
The mini bats were first.
The mini bats what I did was I got a wood burner and I burned numbers into the bottom of each one.
And then you convinced me somehow that they were coated
in some sort of a lacquer that would kill me or smell bad.
And it was unfortunately deep in the paranoid era.
It was a very paranoid time in general.
And so I was on edge.
I was definitely on edge.
You're gonna light all the bats on fire.
Dude, I forgot. I forgot about the paranoid era.
The paranoid era was crazy.
I've got some now.
I'm waiting on a twenty seven pound package from Andrew for some reason.
And I'm kind of nervous as to what's in it.
And I heard it was your fault.
Twenty seven pounds of holiday cheer, probably.
Yeah, exactly.
Speaking of content, this is content we just didn't do, probably. Yeah, exactly. Speaking of content,
this is content we just didn't do, not even from the past.
I finally watched the Borderlands movie.
We talked about doing content around it where we did like a draft of like
based on our experience with the game, what we would anticipate
being in a Borderlands movie.
Like what are the touchstones of that franchise that you would need to hit
when adapting it?
And I'm glad we did that only because none of us would have made any progress
in the big of it. There's nothing to do any.
There's not a single fucking thing from that game in that movie.
It is insane.
Even every single game, like the thing I thought going into it
is they're definitely going
to do this.
All of those games open with a music sequence with action happening in like slow motion.
None of that.
Just skipped it entirely.
Not a single glowing gun.
They don't even open a gear chest in the entire thing.
Are you serious?
Insane.
I haven't, you know what?
I actually have 30 minutes left, so maybe they do in the final 30 minutes.
There was a fact that there is zero moments of a character opening a thing
and things shooting out of it is insane.
I don't know who that movie was for.
Very weird.
I'm glad we didn't do it.
I kind of want to do it for Minecraft because we've all played Minecraft, I believe.
And that movie, I don't know.
Once again, Jack Black.
So I guess how could it go wrong?
Speaking of speaking of Minecraft, I'm still holding on to Rat
Craft as an idea. Oh, yeah, we got it.
So what do you rate it?
Two clap traps out of 10.
Oh, a two out of 10 clap traps.
That's another weird thing they did where like they had Jack Black
is the voice of clap trap and they really want you to know it's Jack Black.
So it doesn't really sound like clap trap.
It just sounds like Jack Black.
Well, it just sucks.
That movie sucks.
Does he say skadoosh a lot?
I probably it would fit with the clap trap character they're presenting.
None of them have abilities. They're not fucking sucks.
That movie sucks.
How do you not have anything from the game in the movie?
Insane.
This is the first episode that's come out since the audience has seen the kicker picker
repicker.
Picker repicker.
And I love the perspective of fresh eyes because I didn't
realize at the time or even when I was watching it back until the audience pointed out the fact
that at no point on either of the second or third wheels did we have pick. Oh yeah, that's insane.
That is so funny. We had steel, but there wasn't anything. That was kind of by design, wasn't it?
It wasn't anything by design, wasn't it?
Oh, yeah, I thought I thought the point of the other wheels was to get you down and out. And then eventually you'd have to get back on the first.
The second and third wheel felt like punishment wheels to me.
Yeah, at best it was an erosion of progress and at worst it was a stark punishment.
I'm just blown away.
We didn't have force pick from the list on that.
It's nuts.
Oh, I see.
That probably would have been really that probably would have been really smart.
Yeah, that's really good.
It would have been really good.
Well, I feel like what got put on the wheel rolled away from me quickly.
Like I opened up the back of the car that had the wheels and it rolled down a hill
instantly and I never was able to catch up to it.
I just I mean, it's your fault, though, right?
Like I don't I just don't understand
You drive the car to the location
Yeah, they're a movie where like a rogue tire starts killing people. I think it's just called wheel. I yeah
Yeah, her tire
Wheel tire though. I think we'll tire I think either way. Yes, it is called rubber. It's called rubber. Yeah rubber. Yeah, uh
Yeah, so anyway, Andrew did that uh
I brought the wheel into the
It's like I put the grenade in the room, but I'm not the one who pulled the pin
Do you think or rather not do how when do you think we'll see the wheel again? I don't know
I feel like you can't predict the wheel it kind it. It kind of shows up on its own time, right?
Yeah. If and when it feels it feels appropriate.
Yeah, I want it to feel natural.
We could I mean, you could put a wheel in anything and that's fun.
It's got to it's got to be earned, I think.
I feel like it has to be a spontaneous wheel.
You know, I don't think you plan for a wheel.
You can play for a wheel.
Yeah, how'd that go for you wheel. You can play for a wheel.
How'd that go for you? How'd that go for you?
Once again, I would say that that was barely planned.
The wheel really came into play because it's like, how the what are they going to be the dynamics of this thing?
Will wheel in space ever stop spinning?
Oh, no. Right.
Like if you if you had a car you had a car in space you
You floor it you're like a hundred miles an hour on your wheel and then you just pop the wheel off
And I don't think it stops. I think it goes forever. That's something we could visit in the future. Maybe a
Subminable one of that idea. I don't what how
We meet a wheel that never stops. We go to space. Yeah, I'm not talking like episode 30. I'm talking about, you know, episode 700 or something.
We could simulate space, right?
Isn't there like planes that do that that Tom Cruise is in?
Mm hmm. Yeah, but they don't suck the air out, which I think is why we all wouldn't
stop because there's no air resistance.
I see. We'll just have to wait till we can go to space to try.
Yeah, but I put a pin in it for sure.
We have to have a fan who's an astronaut, right?
This podcast only attracts the smartest people
Take a wheel to space and spin we've had people that work at NASA
Yeah, how hard could it be for them to throw a wheel in there? We're gonna eat reading we're gonna read an email next week
That's gonna be like hey an egg. I just wanted to say on the International Space Station right now. Love the episode Gavin is correct
So would it ever land on go to third wheel right now. Love the episode. Gavin is correct.
So would it ever land on Goat's third wheel?
What if what if someday we move past a wheel?
What if there's a triangle or a square or an octagon?
Well, wheel isn't a circle because you could have a square wheel.
Yeah. I see what you're saying.
Yeah, we'll get away from circles. Maybe someday we get away from a circle. Yeah. I see what you're saying. Yeah. We want to get away from circles. Maybe someday we get away from a circle. Yeah.
There's a lot of shapes out there.
I just can't stop thinking about the scene in gravity
when the debris circles back around that happening,
but it's just Wheel of Fortune wheels, the wheels
just ripping through shit.
That in probably just wreck it all the parachute in ripping through shit. Someone could enter that in probably, just wrecking all the parachute up in the space station.
You see bankrupt fly by the screen as it chops George Clooney in half.

Hey, I have a question.
It's non-space or wheel-related, but...
Okay. I guess it doesn't have to be but I think it
It is in its current instance. Did we ever order those new puzzles?
Yeah, I believe so
I'll double check
I don't remember if I did or not honestly because it was in the middle of trying to get all the CPA stuff done
Yeah, no big deal if we didn't but I just it popped into my head yesterday and I thought I should check on that
We we definitely should do that still who is we it's me because that that's an assigned thing to me
I thought about it earlier today because I got an email from pomegranate about
Some puzzles that were coming out or whatever and I put it on my list of like fuck I gotta
Remember to get to this so and don't don't worry
We'll definitely do times and it'll be really real this time, guys.
It'll be really good.
I've been looking at on the Xbox store if they're puzzle making games
and there aren't, but there is a computer, a Windows puzzle thing.
We want to do virtual making games.
Yeah. Like if there's just like a jigsaw game with a controller type thing.
There is a really on the store, but there is a Windows one on PC.
So when you open a box and there's all the pieces, you're making a puzzle?
Yeah.
Oh.
What do you mean?
I just couldn't tell whether you were going to make a puzzle or like put
together a puzzle.
One in the same, is it not?
He's like, are you creating a puzzle or assembling a puzzle?
Yeah. Yeah.
I would never think of it that way, but fair enough.
I see you're saying you you would never think of it that way.
I would just in my head, it's make a puzzle.
It's like when you when you go to sleep and you say, I'm or I'm getting in bed.
You're not getting like that.
Like sometimes you say, I'm going to go to sleep.
But then sometimes you say, I'm going to make sleep.
I wish I could make sleep right now.
Attend some sleep.
I'm going to make sleep.
I feel like my sleep would be the most badass fight promo of all time
A boxer and like the the pre-fight press conferences like I'm gonna make sleep on Saturday night. I'm gonna create sleep with this fist
That would bring us so good
You think Mike Tyson makes Jake Paul make sleep?
But I wish he would.
I don't think so. I don't think any of that shit's ever going to be real.
We that Jake Paul tricks us every time into thinking that somebody is going to
kick his ass and then it's all it's never going to happen.
It'd be the one this would be the one and I'll be watching it fingers crossed,
but, you know, yeah, I want to I want to see it.
It's not going to happen. It's I want to see it so bad
What if he puts him in the shadow realm? What if he does?
Mike Tyson banishes Jake Paul
I was watching some tik-toks of Roy Jones jr.
Doing an interview with somebody talking about his exhibition fight with Tyson. And it was so fucking cool to hear Roy Jones Jr.,
one of the greatest boxers of all time, who's like 44 and 4, I think,
talk about how fucking scared he was of Mike Tyson
and how he kept clinging on to him just because he was not gonna let Mike uppercut him.
And just like about how he changed the way he boxed
to make sure in the friendly
exhibition that he didn't hit Mike the wrong way and give him the wrong idea.
Like it was really funny.
That guy, that guy instills so much fear into the other best people
who have ever done it. It's wild.
So I think like the worst case scenario.
And this is not this is I mean, the worst case is that Mike Tyson
just gets knocked out and it's really sad. But.
This being a fight, sort of like Anderson Silva and Shale
Sonnen had a boxing match like six months ago.
I didn't watch it. Was it good?
No, no, it was really bad.
It was one of those things.
You're like, hey, this is like a fun.
Like it wasn't a real competition.
It was an exhibition and they treated it as such.
Neither of them really went their hardest in any way.
And that's sort of like the fear of this event of like it's an it doesn't really matter.
It was so refreshing to hear Roy Jones Jr. being like that was supposed to be the tone of our exhibition of like let's just kind of box,
like not go full on with each other.
And Mike Tyson is not capable of that.
Mike Tyson has one speed and it is trying to kill you and it does not matter what the set dressing is around it
He's always making sleep. He immediately punched me in the chest and I went oh god
It's gonna be a long night
And it wasn't that was short fight
It was short fight and Roy Jones Jr. Is my favorite boxer of all time and it was it was she was so clearly
Outclassed by Mike Tyson in that moment man. I'm excited mainly for that event because of what it represents
the for the future of Netflix
More live sports on Netflix all about it very excited right there with you. That's their big push for next year
They just signed that WWE contract.
Yeah, I feel like I'm going to watch the...
I'm going to do the thing where I say I'm going to get into it
and I just will never watch it.
But I am currently thinking I'm going to watch it because...
Yeah, I think just having the option and it's right there,
I think is the big thing.
I tell you what, Andrew, if you want, I'll watch it with you.
We'll have a watch party, you and me.
Because I was thinking the same thing.
First episode of Raw.
Yeah, why not? I think let's say everybody keeps telling us to get into it
and that we'll love it if we love sports.
And so why not? Why don't I give it a shot?
I like to kid. I don't think you're going to love it.
I don't think I will either, but I'm willing to give it a shot. No.
I'm you can't be scared to try stuff.
No, totally. No. Yeah, you're right.
Speaking of like sports, I feel like understand the people that don't
like that hate sports can be an unwelcoming culture.
But when you get to the like how ridiculous the people are that are in it
and the stories around it is really like it adds a level of appreciation to me.
That's where my love of sports is.
You guys see Jerry Jones talking about the sun?
Again, Nick, did you see his?
You didn't see his next a Cowboys fan.
Your stadium fucking sucks, Nick.
The team does, too, cuz they can't fucking see
What happened with it? Okay?
So this is cowboy stadium has a design flogged avon where it has these giant windows that like
magnify the Sun onto the field and depending on I
Well, I guess they flip side so both teams at a certain point in the game
I guess they flip side. So both teams at a certain point in the game have a problem of they turn the look to catch
the ball and they're just blinded by sun.
They can't see it.
But Jerry Jones, the owner of the Cowboys, loves this and thinks it's great.
And he refuses to cover the windows despite his star wide receiver saying we should cover
the windows and should cover the windows
and they cover the windows for other events.
Like they already have the things to cover the windows if they wanted to.
He just thinks a death ray makes the game more exciting.
He thinks it's an advantage for the dude.
They're dropping fucking wide open five yard passes in the end zone
because they're blind.
It's embarrassing.
It's it's gotten to a point where Travis Kelsey on his podcast
with his brother started talking about it.
And he said, it appears that Jerry Jones is still at war with the sun.
Oh, yeah. It's so good.
He so it happened again.
And their star receiver said, yeah, over the weekend, we should cover these.
So at the press conference, Jerry Jones, who's the owner of the team,
he's a billionaire.
When I heard this quote, I did not believe it was real.
And then I looked into it and confirmed he said all these things.
Someone brought up the sun and he's just in a really cranky mood
because the team is bad.
He's trying to fire radio host for asking questions. It's great.
Here's him discussing the sun.
When asked if it would be
better if they covered the windows. Well, let's tear the damn stadium down and build another one.
Are you kidding me? Everyone has got the same thing. Every team that comes in here has the same
issues. I'm saying the world knows where the sun is. You get to know that almost a year in advance.
Someone asked me about the sun. What about the sun? Where's the moon?
What?
Where's the moon?
I've been laughing so hard at where's the moon
for days, all week.
Where's the moon?
What?
When he was asked about the sun,
he said it's the largest air conditioned space in the world.
What does that have to do with the Sun?
So everyone's cool but blind.
Yeah, it's very comfortable inside.
It's comfortable and you can't see shit.
Yeah, but where's the moon?
Where's that gonna be?
Where's the moon?
They know where the Sun's gonna be a year in advance.
They do. We know where the Sun's gonna be when we decide to flip the coin or not.
We do know where the damn Sun is gonna be in year in advance. They do. We know where the sun's going to be when we decide to flip the coin or not.
We do know where the damn sun is going to be in our own stadium.
He just doesn't want to admit it's a bad design.
Billionaires are so weird.
It's like, as people get more money, they get less relatable when it comes to like buying
things and stuff.
And then as they hit their 10th figure of net worth, they just start to sound like aliens.
Like that even makes sense to regular humans.
It's because they get too rich to be wrong.
Oh, it's great.
It's so fun. It was a great.
It was a whole thing at the NFL.
There was also a coach that like their coach got fired and they brought in a replacement.
And he was talking about is like they got is the Saints coach
and they got an upset win. And it's his first press conference as a coach.
He's like, I got to tell you guys something started today, went to the coaches area, coaches, coach's bathroom, never been there before clogged the toilet.
That was the start.
He just went deep on how weird clogged the toilet and it's like, it's not going to be a good day. Plug that shit immediately.
And then that his whole left side of his body went numb
because one of his players hit him in the back to celebrate the win.
And it locked every is great.
Well, what's going on?
It's awesome sports, man. Sports is fucking awesome.
I'm sad we never had that kind of thing happen in Griffball.
Somebody saying, where's the moon or someone clogged in the toilet before?
There's a lot of toilets getting clogged in Griffball. Don't worry about that.
Hey, I have a story to tell you guys before we wrap up the episode today.
You guys remember I went out town over the weekend? Yes.
So I went down to Galveston to a little boutique hotel.
One of my wife's friends was having like a little like she has like a boutique clothing
brand and so she had like a pop up over there and my wife wanted to go down and support
her and it was I guess a good excuse to have a weekend away.
And I hadn't been to Galveston since I was in like middle school.
And so we drove down there in Emily's car.
Totally fine. Oh, it's had a fine weekend.
It rained all weekend.
And I found out that Emily's idea of a party is continues to be educational.
We went to a we went to the first place we could get a tour of
and went to a tour of an old house.
Not a lot going on in Galveston.
So they're like, hey, this old house.
And you're like, oh, cool. What's the significance of it?
And they're like, well, it's very old.
And over here you can see there's a room and that people did stuff here.
And then and you're like, well, I was built.
And they're like, because the people that owned it were rich.
You're like, OK, were they pillars of the community? And they're like, no, they was it built? And they're like, because the people that owned it were rich. And you're like, OK, were they pillars of the community?
And they're like, no, they were in the community, you know,
but they were mostly just rich and the house is still here.
Anyway, that'll be $15.
You know, it was like one of those kind of things.
What?
It was very fun, though.
And so we get up Sunday morning to leave, having had to about a day
and a half in Galveston, which, as it turns out out is the exact right amount of time to spend in Galveston and
See Nick knows and so we get up to leave and
The tire pressure sensor comes on on her car and it says that I need to air up her tires
No big deal. So I drive to a gas station and I put a little bit of air into her tires to get ready for the drive
it's about a three and a half hour drive home, I would say, from Galveston.
And it's just on like the other side of Houston.
And as soon as I put the air in the tires, get back in the car, turn it on.
The check engine light comes on.
I go, well, that's weird.
Look, the check engine light just came on like that.
The tire sensor gauge went off and the check engine light went on.
And Emily was like, that's weird.
And I was like, it wasn't like that all weekend.
No, I haven't seen it. Hasn't been like that lately.
No. And I thought, OK, strange.
Turn the car off, turn it back on.
Check engine lights on again.
It doesn't give any indication of what it is.
And this is like a it's annoying because the car tells you what wheel is
has low pressure and what the pressure is.
The car is like your front left tire has 25 psi and it fix it.
But I can't tell you anything better than unspecified problem in car, you know?
It told you which engine.
It did tell me which engine.
It did tell me which engine, the only engine.
And so I thought, that's strange.
Let's just see how it drives.
And so we pull out and we drive and it's going fine.
And then I realized I'm having trouble accelerating.
Like it's really chugging and I'm just in little,
you know, neighborhoods essentially. And so we see an AutoZone we pull over to the AutoZone
because I didn't know this Emily knew this you if you go inside they have a
little machine that'll come out and they can plug it into your car and they tell
you what's wrong with your car and so we had the AutoZone guy come out and he
plugged it in and he collected the data and he went inside and he looked it up
and by the way it's Sunday morning it's probably 7 a.m. and Maybe eight a.m. because AutoZone's open 8 15 a.m.
We were trying to get an early start.
Had to pick Albert up, you know, from the borders at the end of the day.
And so he plugs it into the computer and he gets the printout and he says,
Oh, you have a fuel rail sensor that is malfunctioning.
There's nothing wrong with your car. It's just this sensor's bad.
And I go, oh, is that a hard thing to fix?
And he goes, it's actually not a hard thing to fix.
I've done it before with a friend of mine.
Takes about an hour and a half.
It's hard to get to, but it's not hard to replace.
And I go, what happens if I just drive with it?
And he goes, oh, you can drive.
It's not bad.
It's just your car won't go very fast.
And I was like, OK, cool.
So it just regulates how much fuel your engine's getting or something.
I guess something like that. Yeah.
And so I go, well, do you guys have one?
And he goes, well, let me see.
And he's like, no, we don't have one in stock.
Let me see. No, nobody in town has one.
You're going to have to go to the dealership to get it.
But in Texas, all dealerships are closed on Sunday.
So he's like, so that's going to be Monday morning.
So if you want to get it fixed here, you're going to have to spend another day
in Galveston, essentially. And that is a non-starter for Emily and I.
We're not spending another fucking second in Galveston.
And so we like, well, we talk about it and we go, like, what do you want to do?
You want to try to it's not dangerous to drive it other than it's slow.
And I was thinking, like, I don't want to be stuck in Galveston, even if we could
just get it's like 250 miles, even if we could just get it's like 250 miles, even
if we could just get like within 100 miles of home, and the car
broke down or whatever, I can at least get a towed back to
Austin, we'd at least be on the other side, we'd be closer to
home, you know, even if I had to just tow to the closest dealer
at that point, it'd be way easier for us to deal with and
having to start thinking I could rent a car, leave the car here,
rent a car, drive home, then come back back and deal with it or take a flight home.
Well, you know, there's all kinds of options, but we decided, fuck it.
We're adventurous. Let's drive.
So Emily mapped us home on not using interstates or highways.
So just streets because you're too slow because we're too slow.
And so we take off and and boy, were we slow.
I collected some data to give you guys an idea of how slow I was.
Let's see.
My car maxed out at 49 miles an hour.
I assumed 50 was one too much.
That must have been where the regulator came in.
To go from zero to 49 miles an hour in my wife's car
took a minute and 17 seconds.
Oh.
So it took us six hours to drive home.
Oh my God.
Jesus Christ.
I learned to fear and hate any grade of hill in front of me.
Every time we hit a hill, to fear and hate any grade of hill in front of me.
Every time we hit a hill, I would look down and the route timer would instantly go up two minutes.
Like a second I hit the incline,
it would add two minutes to the trip every time.
We would sometimes, cause you're going downhill,
you can coast.
So I could get up to like 70 miles an hour on some roads.
But so like every once in a while you get up to like 70 and then hour on some roads. But so like every once in a while you get to like 70 and then you hit a hill.
No matter how fast you hit a hill, by the time you get to the top of that hill,
you're going 18 to 22 miles an hour.
So I had a line of cars behind me.
It looked it looked like the longest funeral
procession in the history of the planet Earth from Galveston to Austin on back roads and
Every and if I was going fast, it's
49 miles an hour is fine if you're going but every time I had to stop at a stop sign or a stoplight
It was an un
mitigated
Misery, I cannot explain to you the pain that I felt in my balls and my throat at the same time.
Every time I had to accelerate and it took me a minute and 17 seconds to get to 49.
And then there are some areas of central Texas or East Texas where you'll hit a stop sign
every 30 fucking feet. So you're just going like two miles an hour stop and it's just
and me just waving people around and having my turn, having my fucking flashers on and begging
people to go around for God's sakes. Six hours to get home, got home, get this.
I just happened to look at the clock, it's 313,
the exact fucking time that Howard Stern woke me up
in the morning that night when I prayed for some sort
of an insight into my life.
Why was it 313 when I got home after that nightmare?
Is the universe telling me to move to fucking Michigan
because that's the area code or what is going on.
But I'm getting the message loud and clear.
Holy shit. Never, never drive from point A to point B at 49 miles an hour if it's longer than seven minutes.
What a nightmare.
I had insane. I had so funny being slow.
Instead of fast and furious, you were slow and irate.
Like there's nothing exciting happening.
Just like I can't even tell you what it's like.
Emily would be like, do you want to pull over and we'll switch?
And I'm like, no, I don't want to stop.
I don't want to get out of the car.
I just we're going to drive until we get home.
Zero brakes. I raw dogged it.
We didn't. There was no point.
We just went from point A to point B as slow as Christmas.
But we did it. And oh, my God, was it a new kind of stress in my life?
I wonder if it's like a tech menu or something you could have gotten to
that just bypassed the census somehow.
I don't know, man.
Well, what's nice about your setup is you two could have swapped seats
without having to stop the car.
You could have just walked around it and then just sat back down and rebelted.
That's so funny.
Oh, my God. Hitting a stop sign constantly. Oh, yeah.
And then the next day I had to drive Emily's car to the dealership
in Austin traffic at 6 p.m.
which was a whole other kind of just fucking insane nightmare to experience.
But I was able to.
That is hilarious.
I would be so anxious going so slow.
Cars lining up behind me.
Oh, unbelievable. Unbelievable.
I love that you just pushed through there.
Yeah.
I mean, what are the alternatives, right?
Like, either way, I didn't want to be tied to Galveston.
I didn't want to I don't want to be stuck there any longer than I was.
And I certainly didn't want to have to leave and come back, you know?
And I just figured if I could get like closer to halfway,
then everything flips. If I'm closer to Austin and further, then I could even take an Uber home
an hour and a half if I need to. You know what I mean?
Like I I wanted to get home, wanted to get home to the dog
who is for some reason barking in the background.
I didn't want to be there anymore.
You could have probably pushed the car faster in some of those stops.
Nine points, dude.
Dude, you are not kidding, man.
Just throw it neutral. Just shove.
There was a point in just outside of Galveston early on to the trip, because we were
basically, you know, we're just taking back roads where I had to start at a hill.
It's a bridge and I we must have gone 11 miles an hour over that bridge because we
just never had a chance to build up
any momentum before we hit the incline.
It was like the bridge started right after the stop sign.
And I just remember thinking like,
this is gonna be the next like 100 hours of my life.
And then luckily it got a little bit better
after we got over that bridge, but man.
I can't stop thinking about the montages
and the early Fast and Furious movies
when they flipped the switch and the nitrous would go off and go like through the tubes and fire it
shoot out.
Just that and then cutting your car going 40.
CGs through the menu and the piping and the sensors like.
That's so funny.
Did you is it fixed now or what?
It's at the dealer. I think it'll be fixed tomorrow.
I think we're picking it up tomorrow.
It's just... They were like, yeah, it's just a sensor.
It's not hard to fix. It's just...
But they're like, we've got to get under the engine to fix it.
So it's going to be a while.
And so they'll get to it.
So you're now in the mindset of you want just like an old-fashioned
car that you could fix yourself?
Or some buggy maybe? I've always kind of lived in that mindset, but I'm definitely closer to it now for sure.
Every problem that Emily's had in that car has been sensor related and she's had a few and I'm just fucking sick of it.
Like I had that they really pissed me off to know that there was zero wrong with the car and it was acting up, you know?
Like I was suffering for six hours because I, nine dollar widget burned out, you know?
But the mechanics of the car are a hundred percent fine.
And it did make me think like, I know it's impossible, but God, there should be some
sort of a manual override, you know?
I wonder if driving for six hours with like a fuel starved engine was good for the engine
or not. Oh, so engine was good for the engine or not.
Oh, so interesting.
Good for the engine.
Interesting.
We averaged a six and a half miles a gallon better than normal.
Saved gas doing it.
We got home and less than a half a tank of gas.
And also I looked because I had, you know, the odometer kept statistics.
The average speed from start to finish was 43 miles an hour.
Wow. Yeah.
So I kept it almost at max speed of 49 the whole time.
Now, imagine if they broke it the other way where it doesn't go below 90.
It starts and it's just super fast.
Then I'd be Keanu Reeves and I'd get home super quick.
Yeah, you had the opposite of speed. And I it's just super fast. Then I'd be Keanu Reeves and I'd get home super quick.
Yeah, you had the opposite of speed. Yeah, no speed.
No slow, only speed like Sonic.
But the car just can't.
Oh, anyway, that's what that's why I couldn't.
I had to figure out how to get the
that's the care packages around town the other day
yeah, it was the thing where I asked Jeff if you wouldn't mind dropping something off for me for something related to the show and
He said he didn't have a car, but I knew you went to Galveston and so it's like oh, I cannot wait
I was like I can't but I can't tell you why
Yeah
That's so funny.

Before we should bring it up, before we move on from this episode,
I got to I got to figure out my throat goat rating is we're doing.
The gurglers come out and you guys did your own throat goats in the new gurglers. Yeah. Did you watch the video?
I haven't seen it yet. No.
So I don't know the measurements.
I felt like going in dark would be best for this.
OK, well, do you have a gurgler in front of you?
I do. Yes. What color is it?
It is the green gurgler.
Oh, perfect. That's great.
This was he is that fantastic. It wasn't. Oh, perfect. That's great. That's what we use.
That's fantastic.
It wasn't going to be able to be an official.
Yeah.
Does anyone have the ability to take a screenshot from that video of the final lines and we
can put that up after Andrew tells us his?
I think I can.
After we get it from Andrew, I think I can do it.
I have a measuring cup to be very specific as well.
We weren't very specific. Yeah, we don't know.
But what we did, let me explain to you what we did.
We put as much water in our mouth as individual.
So like Gavin would go, he put as much water as he could physically
hold in his mouth, gullet, throat, et cetera,
as much as he could physically hold.
Then he would spit it into the measuring cup and then from the measuring cup into, we would
pour it into the gurgler and then we would mark a line on the gurgler.
That's the way that went, right?
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So from there, what I need you to do
is make a line next to, I'm watching the video now,
next to the letters, by like the Gerpler,
like not on top of the white letters,
but right next to it, make a little black mark
and then send us the picture.
That's what we're looking at.
Okay. Well, I'm gonna first put the water in the mouth.
Gotta stretch the cheeks out a little bit.
Yeah, you know, are you doing are you doing cold water, hot water?
What are you doing?
Uh, poured out cold, I'd say room temp.
OK, OK. Probably spot.
Let me know. Well, cheek stretch.
Yeah. I make sure we got room.
OK, here we go. Imagine it's going in now.
Make a lot of sounds.
Lots of choking noise.
Mm hmm.
Is he going to try and squeeze a bit more in?
Maybe.
Yeah.
I think he's done it.
Yep.
Oh my God, you can hear it.
Sorry.
Sounded like you got a lot in.
I kept, I filled my mouth and then I just instinctually start drinking it a little bit
and then I'd go, oh, there's more room.
There's more room.
I think everyone did that in our main video.
I was like, oh, just drinking.
Okay.
Pouring it in.
Let me first just see how much it is in the cup.
Interesting.
Okay.
Andrew, do you have any predictions on where you'll rank within the group?
Oh, I think I'm going to be at the bottom.
Oh, I think I have a small mouth.
Small. Yeah. I think I have a small mouth.
Would you say your throat is petite?
Yeah, I think I do have a petite throat.
your throat is petite. I yeah, I think I do have a petite throat.
OK.
You make sure this is level.
I don't even need to mark it so perfect for where mine is.
OK, which also makes me feel like I'm very low.
I just I hope I hope it's like at the L.
Yeah, guys, I'm only into the middle of the U.
My bar directly touches the first R.
Okay.
Could you soy find it?
Uh, yeah.
One sec, take a look.
That's now if you, Eric, if you haven't already taken a screenshot,
I can just OK.
That was going to say I have the grouper.
I can just go grab it.
Oh, Jeff, you fool.
I have it. I'm ready to share.
I'm uploading the photo right now. OK. Excited to see it. Yeah'm ready to share. I'm uploading the photo right now.
OK. Excited to see it.
Yeah, as am I.
Did you so? OK.
Oh, kind of weird that it's at an angle.
I took it on a downward angle, but that's the worst photo I've ever seen.
I mean, kind of like kind of like the most insane way you can take in that picture.
How would I what would be the better way to do it here?
Let me show you with the police full on.
Just straight on.
So I did.
Andrew is is just under Gavin and I.
Yeah, looks like.
So the G that's all the way to the left is Gavin.
The G that's all the way to the right is Jeff.
Yeah, I'm definitely below.
I'm not. It's like barely touching here.
Let me. Yeah. So now we've got full Gengar.
We're getting. We got our mouths are Gengar.
I don't know about that.
I don't know if I like that one.
We should make a board game called Gengar.
Gengar mouth. Oh, we could be the next Smash Mouth.
Here we go. Better angle for you guys.
I thought I did a good job.
Apparently, I didn't. People picking go. Better angle for you guys. I thought I did a good job. Apparently I didn't.
People picking nowadays.
It's the photography.
Yeah, do you see the difference between what you did the first time
and what you did the second time?
Phenomenal.
The world level is now we can see how much further below it is.
That's essentially the same.
I'm excited for the audience.
You are. You're dead, Andrew.
I think you're dead last.
Yeah, I'm definitely last.
I think so. Wow.
Yeah, not even close, buddy.
You caught your puzzle under the laptop.
We talked about this before.
We moved my norm movies.
Ventilation isn't as good with the
puzzle. Still overheats.
Have you tried it just on the desk?
No.
Why did you give such a big s- you don't want it just on the desk?
Are you like saving the desk or what?
I was thinking why I haven't done that.
That was the thing of like, no I haven't done that. That was the thing. No, I haven't done that.
And why?
Because there has to be a reason.
At the laptop store, like, where's all the platforms and like boxes and puzzles and shit
to put this on?
OK, so I think this is what happened.
I'm now remembering the sequence of events that led to this moment.
I originally was level on the desk and then it was really overheating and I thought maybe
some elevation would help it
So then I put the norm DVDs under it
then I wanted to take the norm DVDs back and I got the puzzle box and
I I think I just I just swapped it because I had something there before
I don't think it has to be on this when you type on it though
Doesn't it just go like blip blip blip like bouncing all around?
What do you mean? When you type on it though, doesn't it just go like blup blup blup like bouncing all around? What do you mean?
Because you're balancing it.
Well, no, it's the puzzle box is essentially the same size as the laptop.
You could see the like giant overhang.
Oh, well, I don't use the right side of the keyboard that much, I guess.
I don't know.
Yeah, I'm not typing all the way on the edge.
It's more middle.
I'm constantly not using the question mark.
So, I mean, that's just over there.
Yeah, I'm looking at where the line is on the puzzle box to the keys,
and it is halfway through the enter key on the right.
OK, I just like that.
I don't feel like I can't ask any questions because my laptop will fall over.
No, but I'm approving.
I plugged in my external drive and I transferred all of the stuff onto it and then deleted
on my computer. I'm learning.
Oh, yeah, dude.
I don't know how to do stuff. Yeah.
I mean, I would say that's a concept that also works outside of computers.
Yeah. Like what?
Like storing something in like a cupboard or something.
Wait. Yeah, he's got you there.
Yeah, I don't I don't understand.
Like something that was out and you were using and then it's like, oh, I don't need that anymore. So I put it away.
Yeah.
I don't get it. What's the implication that I don't?
No, that just that's what you were doing with files.
You're making it sound like you just learned about copying files onto an external drive.
Yeah, well, I've never done it before.
OK, so he did just learn about it.
Yeah, I thought that when it happened and I moved it, I didn't realize the copy.
Hey, good job, man.
I don't know why Gavin's criticizing you. I'm happy you did it.
I think it's one of those things where I'm not.
I'm I'm trying to be less on the attack.
So I was I thought that he was attacking me in some way, and I didn't understand how.
I think I was a little bit.
Yeah, he definitely was attacking you.
Oh, he was. OK, I didn't pick it up.
No, I'm just saying that it's like you learned.
How do I transfer my crackers from the pantry?
Like I don't get the comparable because it's not like I clone the crackers
and then throw away the crack.
It's honestly the most direct comparison.
It would be like if you had a fridge in a freezer and then a deep freezer
in your garage and you would like some stuff belongs in the freezer.
But if it's the freezers getting too full, I got to move it to the deep freezer
where I rarely go to
That's now I think what Andrew's saying is that he doesn't he doesn't make a one-to-one copy of the frozen waffles Yeah, that's that's one of them and then being the other one
That's the function of the external drive is copying to then get rid of the base
I'm not pulling my bread out of the pantry and then cloning it and then throwing the bread away.
That's what I was very baffled by when you were making the comparison.
And I thought maybe you were like trying to take a dig at me for not putting stuff away.
But this is nothing to put stuff away.
I generally put stuff away.
What is that on the keyboard? A knife?
Yeah, I had I had to clear my
I had to clear stuff off of it.
I had a plate on top of it and the fork just,
or the knife magnetized to that corner of the laptop.
And I just, that was funny.
Wait, what happened?
It magnetized to the laptop?
It's magnet, it's a, it locked on, it's a magnet.
Oh, that's, that's good.
That's what you want, right?
Gavin, you want a lot of magnets,
like kind of like around your hard drives in your laptop.
But it's when it's writing data.
So you've got like a missing file.
The rest of us in the night.
Well, the magnet is built in.
So clearly it's supposed to be there.
I didn't put the magnet in the laptop. No.
Did you know if when you're transferring,
if you're transferring files, if you put a magnet the right way next to the one that's pushing the files to the other, you can actually push them faster.
That's how you delete files, right? It corrupts it. I've seen spy films where they like rub a bunch of magnets on the thing.
I don't think so.
That's definitely a thing. You corrupt the computer with the magnet.
I think you just push or pull data faster or slower.
So you got like an iron knife?
Yeah I guess.
I don't know what it's fucking made of.
It's a knife.
I don't know what it's fucking made of.
What are your knives made of?
Are you concerned about the material of your cutlery?
I just don't think mine are magnetic.
They could be.
Mail me one.
I'll try it.
Send me a spoon and I'll see if it attaches.
I'd say send me a knife, but I don't need one.
I don't have a spoon.
It's already there.
Yeah, I'm ready.
I don't know why it's magnetized in that part.
Is that for like the lid?
Something with the lid, maybe.
Why would it be magnetized in the bottom right
corner? Is there a hard drive in it or is it
SSD?
You think I know?
Sometimes when you open a file, does it show you the hourglass and go like, wooey?
The bar, a bar moves.
So I know SSD is solid state drive.
So I got that going for me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's like, it's not spinning.
How do I tell?
Okay.
So I clicked the home.
Sorry. Technical difficulties with me again. Which we still haven't been able to make because you've had to.
Oh, I ordered the wrong electrical cable. So what does that,
what does that mean? Electrical cable, like power cable? I had a,
I thought this computer had a lightning port and I bought a lightning port to
HDMI converter, but it's a thunderbolt port.
So I had to get a different converter, which I now have.
Okay. Oh, good. So that should be all good. So I had to get a different converter Which I now have okay, okay, so
So I click this PC and I have OSC and my passport D
You got that you got that gap
My passport my passport D is your external drive. That's a
As well as WB my passports. Yeah, less than digital.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So OSC is your hard drive.
Gavin's been giving me a lot of crap about this.
I sent him a computer issue I had today and he never replied.
Didn't help me at all.
Oh God, you did.
You sent me just, that was the first thing I saw this morning.
It was some sort of like kernel panicked report of some sort.
So you didn't help him for as long as you humanly could today.
I got a panic CPU one caller OX of a user space watchdog timeout.
No successful check ins.
I love the idea of I want to I want to not help you longer.
So I'm going gonna wake up early.
The only way to not help him anymore would be to set your alarm. What is the capacity of your C drive?
I'm gonna go dump this gurgler out. You figure that out. I'll pay.
This is great. I love, I love the show so much.
It's not even like you're like being critical or whatever.
You're just asking a couple of questions.
It just, the house of cards starts to crumble.
Oh yeah.
I'm not here trying to stump him,
but it sounds like he's going to be needing the question mark key a lot.
What did I miss?
I was just saying, I'm not trying to mess with you. I'm just trying to,
I'm trying to learn a little bit about your computer
Believe you asked me what material my knife is made
Well that was like I'm a knife guy
No, it's titanium steel
I don't know what to tell you.
This is great. It made me look up the Ukrainian Jackrabbit again,
because I felt like Gavin was in Ukrainian Jackrabbit mode
where he was going after Andrew.
It's been it's.
It's.
That's that's just a taste of what you can expect in our
upcoming technical difficulty supplemental, starting Andrew
Panton and his computers. Are you serious?
Jeff, you can expect that on the 22nd when we launched the
Gerpler at noon central and you guys are playing Mario Party
again, the return of Dilkong.
You think Andrew wants to do that?
I can't wait.
This is exciting.
By the way, speaking of that, are you aware, Eric, that you
made us record not a time travel announcement, but a regular
present day announcement on the same episode where we made that announcement?
Yes.
It's in the episode.
Yes.
Why'd you do that?
Because we need to announce it more than once.
More than once in the same file?
Yes.
Wouldn't you want to put it somewhere where they're not already going to hear it in 40 minutes?
He, he, he.
I would agree.
There's a reason I've talked about it twice in this episode.
Yeah. You got to take a look at our retention, buddy.
You think they're making a 40 minutes in?
You're at, you're out of your mind.
There are people who Googled,
can I change my vote the day after the election?
I'm not taking any chances.
You gotta just say it more than once.
That's it.
Huh.
Okay.
I and I steal or some shit.
Like I'm fucking going to a knife store and say, hey, do you have copper knives?
Fucking crazy.
Insane.
We're gonna end sync so we can wrap this hey
Yeah, let's
But on the way out let me ask you guys a question
Do you think this episode 28 was as good as our previous episode 28? Do you think we do you think we we?
Met our own bar. I think I got a fever in the middle of this episode
I don't like I don't think you can compare them in that way. I think I got a fever in the middle of this episode.
I don't like I don't think you can compare them in that way. I think they're different.
It's different us's at different times in our lives.
That's you saying you think the first one's better.
Got it. OK, thank you for listening to another episode of the Regulation Podcast.
We're glad you stuck with it all the way through.
I assume you did because you're hearing me say this right now.
If you're not hearing me say this right now, did I even say it?
We'll see you next week.
What are knives made of?
I'm freezing.
