Hello and welcome to another episode of the Regulation Podcast. This is Episode 81. My name is Jeff Ramsey with me. As always, Nick Schwartz, Eric Badoor, Andrew Patton, Gavin, Free, in no particular order. How's everybody doing? Good, thanks. I'm good. I got mysteries.

I got resolutions. I got all sorts of stuff that I'm excited to get into in this episode. Do you mystery? I have a mystery that it's going to feel like I'm doing a bit. I swear I'm not doing a bit. bit. Andrew, everything sounds like you're doing a bit.

I have been dumbfounded by a mystery that has occurred on my phone that you guys are genuinely not going to believe when I set up because it is so

perfect to have occurred to me. But I genuinely will need help from either you guys or the community potentially. in solving this thing if solvable Jeff if you had to guess

how solvable is this going to be on a scale of 1 to 10 you know what Gab I'm going to be optimistic I'm going to say this is a 7.8 on the solvability scale okay interesting

all right I think we're going to be able to do some good work here I don't think he would bring it up if he didn't think that we can I think we can solve it I just I genuinely don't know how this happened

I don't know why this happened Should I just should I just get into this mystery? Yeah, please do So I was I was gonna send somebody a photo on my phone And I I downloaded something and I was gonna forward it and then I went to my camera roll And I was trying to find it and the thing I was looking for didn't pop up But as I was scrolling, I've got this Dog I don't know

what I don't know whose dog that is I don't know where it came from now here's the thing one like having one random dog that's that's in itself like whatever it's just cats it's a whole thing I have two photos of this dog I have three photos of this dog

I have four photos of this dog what is happening five six photos of this dog I scrolled through my can't camera roll and I have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 16 photos of this dog that I've never seen that I don't know whose dog it is. Whose fucking dog is this? Have you... Okay, okay, okay, okay, so what is the date range on the photos?

Like, what is the... They should have the created by date. This afternoon. However, how do I look at that? How do I find that? Here's another thing. I don't know if you should post this. This is one of the photos I have.

I don't know who these fucking people are. I have no clue who these people are. What is going on? This is just a camera roll. Those guys are twin brothers, right? I mean, they look identical. If they're not twin, no, they're twins. They're definitely twins.

Andrew, is there, are these coming from like the cloud onto your phone? Is there a possibility you've been hacked by these twin boys and their dog? I don't, I don't under, like, maybe? Is it like a family album that someone's adding to and you're like subscribed to it and they're just going into your camera roll? I don't know. How would I determine that? It looks like there's a toilet in the background with the twin boys.

I wonder if it's a potty training toilet. I wonder if there's children. Behind the lady standing up, that's a toilet of some kind. That's a toilet? I think so. Like maybe a potty training toilet? And I, like, I, I, I looked at this out. Who the fuck are they?

Why do I have 17 photos of this dog? How did this happen? Also, nobody's going to believe this because of the Andrews cat thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, nobody's right. Yeah, you boned yourself with that one, man. So, they just appeared on your phone today. They just, uh, last night. They're the most, are they the most recent photos in your library?

Oh, good question. Uh, no. Oh. Is this your soy phone? Yes So does it tell It should tell you a date The photo was taken

It might even tell you a location Yeah It should have geolocation All kinds of stuff How do I find that Dude I don't know On a soy phone I don't know what kind of phone

Your phone is a mysterious thing In and of itself Like we're not gonna be able To help you with that But there's definitely Some metadata Metadata that's captured By the camera

When the photo's taken When I go to my photos App and I open my camera roll, none of these photos are in there. So it's not your camera roll. Wait, okay, so where are you finding these? Where are these photos? So when I click, like, Discord into drop in a file.

It's in, I guess, albums. I don't know if that's what... Okay, so I wonder if sometimes on, I just know this from my phone, if somebody will send me a picture, sometimes, like, with Discord, it will go by the date that the picture's created, not how recent it is in like my recent photos.

And so you have to like scroll back. It's like, oh, somebody took this picture like last week. And so it'll be back down, like way, way down, like where that stuff sits. So that's the best I could do. Dude, I really have no idea. What if someone a year ago set a bunch of pictures and set the date for the future and they've just come in? Ooh. Is it?

So when you, so they're in your district. I mean, they're, there, any, I found it when I went to send somebody a text message. But you're saying you were just in Discord and you're going to like attach a photo and that's where they are. And that's where you see it. Yeah. I wonder if you've just got your phone set to download every photo sent in like a group chat or sent in a Discord somewhere and it's just someone else's, it's like two different people talking about the dog, but you'll get it all the dog. Or is it possible somebody texted you these photos years ago? and you just don't remember it.

Because I know sometimes, like, Emily will send me a photo, and if I don't save it to my camera roll, I'll have to then go through, like, the history of our media via text to find it. It's cashed there, but not actually in the photo role. I think I may have figured this out. Let's see. Do you know these twin men?

I don't. I don't know any of these twin men. I did, uh, Shane did like a speaking. course thing that I took. And I got put in a WhatsApp for that and I never fucking check it. That's, and that's how they came in.

Dude. It's a WhatsApp group chat. You have a WhatsApp group chat with these twin guys and an evil dog. That, okay. Well, I'm glad we got to the bottom of that. That dog doesn't look evil. It looks like a cutie. It looks like a cute dog. The last two photos look evil. The other nine photos that Andrew sent, cute dog last two photos

I think there's potentially evil in the dog the last one is definitely a bit of an evil dog that's what I'm saying I think potentially there's a mischievous I think you caught him mid-snees I think the second to the last one he looks almost like he's in distress like getting me out of his guys hands I think he's planning something I think he's seen twins

for the first time and he knows there can't be two of you that's okay we solved that mystery thank you we talked through that I appreciate that I would have never figured that out without the two of you. It's regulation detectives. This is great. Yeah, regulation. It's the detective agency. Second mystery

that was solved. This was solved by a community member of ours. This was solved by it. Let me make sure you give credit. Scythe underscore 77. I'm going to post what they posted. Now I'll read it. Andrew definitely saw reverse osmosis on a Desani bottle and didn't know what it meant. That is 100% what happened. You can't

Reverse osmosis was the word I read And I went Oh it's like a coat Because I think I read a Reddit post Or someone was like Isn't it reverse coke And then I continued to do other readings And I saw reverse osmosis

And just went Oh okay It's the coke is reversing into the You took that to mean Reverse engineering What Yeah you said I really listened to it

And you say like reverse engineering A couple of times Yeah So I think you just sort of started like parsing things and putting things together yourself. We need to get in touch with Scythe 77 because they clearly speak Andrew. They solved it, yeah. All of the comments to that thread are just like, oh yeah, that's 100% what happened.

It was. Reverse osmosis, I think, is just they like squeeze it. I don't know. What do you mean? They squeeze the water? The water gets like shoved through a tiny little mesh and like stuff gets taken out of it. Oh. Do you mean filtered?

No, I know what that word is. Yeah, it's type of four. It's filtered. Okay. Filtered. Well, there we go. We had two mysteries. One I didn't know we'd solve.

The other, I don't still fully understand, but they were right. They're right. They got that right. That whole section, by the way, like, re-listening to that and you sort of, like, going through your Coca-Cola thing is, like, it's, like, staggering to listen to. Like, I just don't know. I don't know how, as a listener of this podcast, people aren't, like, screaming at their phones as this is going on.

What people should take away from that is that's how caps key happens, me never learning shift. Because I learn that the caps key capitalizes and then I just move on with my life. There's no, but you didn't learn about reverse osmosis and move on with your life. No, but I decided that this was how this worked in the sense of it made sense to reverse osmosis to coke, but I didn't, there was like seven factors that makes that completely illogical, but I don't. already committed to

this is why it works. But it's the equivalent of like you looking at your cap slot key and thinking that it like keeps your hat on. It's like the complete wrong end of the stick. We're back to reverse osmosis here. I don't know you mean by that. I think it's the hat specifically. I'm not a hat guy.

It's a cat. I find it hard to relate to. Cap block. Cap block? Cap. Cap slock. Cap slock on your head. I see.

Just like headlining, just like headline reading and then moving on. Sure. Yeah. Yeah, I get that. That's like filtered. We filtered it. I got you. Reverse osmosis.

Yeah. Reverse auspice filtering. You got any other mysteries, Andrew? Any other mystery? No, not really any other mysteries. You know what we should do, though? We should announce. Because we haven't officially done this yet, even though we've been, you guys have been doing

incredible i appreciate you guys so much we're doing another advent calendar this year oh is that what we've been doing for a couple months now since soon you guys have been i appreciate you guys so much of finding the time to do this we we really beefed it up this year the last year oh boy it was a bunch of individual brief recordings this advent calendar is 24 episodes sort of a best of of content. I say best of in a lot of your favorite things that we do will get done. Not necessarily every

piece is a 10 out of 10. Sometimes you have a pallet cleanse. Sometimes you got a little treat. Sometimes they're a little You guys. It made a lot of content for you. Guys, it fucking sucks. Some of me about that stuff. Because there's more tomorrow. I want to just set expectations appropriately.

It is an adjutant calendar. Some things are going to be brief. Some things are going to be three plus hours long. It is. You're getting big treats, little treats. It's all great. It's just there's different sizes. And it will be free on our Patreon, don't only our Patreon. You need to be at least a free member as a thank you to all the people that support us on Patreon. And also just, you know, sometimes December is a tough month for people.

So we'll have a new piece of content coming out every day from the first to the 24th. We started this in like June. we're still we have like two or three more pieces left to record we started this in June and we've been doing it every week since June

and we're still not done somehow that's crazy it'll be 12 supplementals 12 let's place we filmed a little let's place we have got like two or three supplementals left it's going to be awesome

and it starts on December the 1st at patreon.com slash the regulation pod Patreon.com slash the regulation pod. It is crazy. So much content, and we just, we thank you so much for supporting us, and I hope you really enjoy everything we have slated. I was thinking about it, with this being a daily drop of content, plus none of our regular programming is shifting. We're still releasing everything normally. We will essentially be releasing the same amount of content we made in the first year of doing F***Face in the month of December.

this year. So if you've been around for a while, you were there, your one, boy, are you in for a treat. It's been nice starting in June, though, because at no point is it felt like an absolute crunch to squeeze out 24 daily pieces of content. It's just been like slightly extra every week. It's been, Andrew, commendable for the way that you rolled this out.

It has not been pulling teeth. It hasn't been difficult. We are getting a little down to the wire on some of this stuff, but like it hasn't been bad. Really good job. And we haven't dropped the ball. We haven't dropped the ball on the other stuff. We are a little under the gun on some of the supplementals

that we should be doing that we could have done that were from this thing. But this is good. I'm very, very excited for the audience to check this stuff out when it starts in December. I think it'll be great. I just like the idea that our schedule goes apeshit in December. It goes insane.

yeah 24 extra pieces of content and Andrew's right some of them are as long some of them are approaching the four hour mark I believe you guys are crazy for that by the way yeah I wasn't there for that the one that's broke boy I've heard about it I've heard about it almost every day it's gonna that's gonna be that's gonna be weird because like you're December on December 1st you're gonna watch a piece of supplemental content that was created in like October and then December 2nd you're gonna get something from June and then December 2nd you're gonna get something from June and then December 1st you're gonna get something from like November 24th. It's gonna bounce all around. Yeah. And one day might be 10 minutes and the next day might be three and a half hours. Yeah, genuinely, there will be a let's play that I think is like 13 minutes long and then maybe the next one that comes up will be three and a half hours or two and a half hours. Gavin and I played through the entirety of a game that is like the most requested thing

that people have had for Gavin to play. Oh. We played the whole thing. We did the whole thing in one sitting. That's exciting. It was like a fever drink. It's great, though. So please check out the Patreon.

As I said, you just got to be at least a free member to watch it. Doesn't cost you a dime. Not a dime. Obviously, you'll get it. If you are paying a dime as well, it's just it'll be there. And thank you so much for supporting us. And I hope everyone has a great end to their year. Absolutely.

And Andrew, I know Eric just said it, but I appreciate you spearheading this, but not only doing it and scheduling. it, but also the variety of it, it was nice, too. Like, it really covered the gamut, like you said, 12 pieces of supplemental, 12 pieces of let's plays, and even within those, it's broken out pretty widely. So, at no point

did it feel like we were, I don't know, just grind in the same shit, you know? Yeah, that was definitely the goal. And I thank you guys so much for also just making time to record extra let's plays and stuff on the side, like you especially Jeff Bustin. That was sort of like, we did a lot of the murder hotel mystery,

which will be out soon that we're like, okay, let's record these on Monday after the meeting just that we are covered for the less play slot that week.

But we got that and I guess not to not to stay too long on housekeeping, but should we get into Black Metal Friday? I don't think we've talked about that either.

I think that comes out this week, right? Yeah, I think that's a, that's an actual point. We probably should mention that Black Friday is, I believe, is it the 17th of November?

Black Metal Friday will be Friday. Friday, December 28th, Black Friday, an event that you don't want to miss over Regulation Store. December 28th? Nick's going to edit that out and have me, Nick, here's a clean take of November, November. And Nick's going to edit that in, November 28th is Black Metal Friday. That will be the day after Thanksgiving.

In two days from now. Two days from now. Two days from now. Black Metal Friday will be the release of the Black Metal Regulatory. shirt which has been a very so cool hotly sought after shirt and it will also be a reprint of the pigeon shirt so you guys can get that stuff and and there will be a code which is black metal to get 16% off the entire store what incredible 16% where did where did you arrive at such a number well Andrew said we should do 16 Gavin isn't that incredible yeah

Got to love that Gavin enthusiasm. We ordered a bunch of these shirts, so hopefully they don't sell out immediately. We are very, very excited about the black metal one. Of course, it's with a partnership that we did with our good friend, Burn Dog. Bat Dog is his art name, if you're familiar with him, a very, very respected artist out there in the world. And, of course, the pigeon stuff just did so much better than we thought it would that we had to do a big reorder of that, too. What a day. Black Metal Friday.

And that's all the housekeeping I had. Thank you. Thank you, Jeff. Yeah, no problem. While we're on the housekeeping front, this isn't quite housekeeping, but I wanted to let you guys know, I emailed the Bell Isle Aquarium

to see about sponsoring an aquarium. Okay. And they have not responded to me. Oh, no. So I think I'm going to, I think I'm not going to give up. I want to, we want to do good in this world. So I'm going to give them a call, but I wanted to give you an update on that.

Also, something else fell into my lap. My wife let me know. Just throwing this out there. The city of Austin is selling the naming rights to some of its athletic complexes to raise money. Interesting. We could be, if we were into sponsoring stuff, I'm sure we don't have the money. I'm sure we don't have Austin money. We probably have the El Al-Ile money.

But they are currently accepting naming rights on House Park, which is a skateboard park, by the way. Tony Burger Activity Center, which I don't think I would touch on all. I think Tony Burger. activity centers. Perfect. Nelson Field, Delco Center, AISD Performing Arts Center, or NOAC Sports Complex. I bet Nelson Field's a baseball field, though. It wouldn't be cool to have a regulation field? We could rename the Delco Center? We could rename the Delco Center. Wow, that's cool. No one uses that for anything. I don't, I don't know what it's there

for. You drive by it on 183, and I don't know anyone that does anything there at all. It's pretty, pretty impressive. So what you're saying is that one might be cheap. Honestly, yeah. I think I voted there one time. We should see about how much it costs to sponsor this stuff. I'm sure it's ridiculous. Yeah, we'll definitely. There's going to be a big difference between the Bell Al Aquarium and the Delco Center, I imagine.

But I'll follow up on it. I'll look into it. Maybe if we're enthusiastic enough, they'll let us sponsor like an equipment cupboard of some sort. Oh, I like that. Regulation closet. Maybe we could get a bench. Yeah, there you go. The Tony Burger Center.

Can we just name it the Hamburger Center? Yeah, that's what we do. Right, it's just sort of like in the name. Like it's close. It's a good idea. I like that. I'm a fan of this. So as I'm getting older, more seasoned, more mature,

I've started to learn the importance of a daily routine. Also, the importance of health. As much as I'd like to, I'm probably not going to live forever. So I have to make sure that when I'm here, I'm taking as good a care of me as possible. Routine is an important part of that, knowing when I get up every day, knowing when I go to bed, planning my day out, it's become critical to my mental and physical well-being. And one of the things that I've been doing lately is I've added AG1 into both my morning, well, I've added AG1 into my morning routine and then AGZ into my evening routine. And let me tell you, I am loving it. I was a little unsure how I would feel about it at first, but I actually have come to look forward to it, every day. Go to drinkag1.com slash regulation to get a free welcome kit with an AG1 flavor sampler and a bottle of vitamin D3 plus K2 when you first subscribe. One of the things that's a constant struggle for me is making sure that I'm getting the nutrients that I need throughout my

day. And AG1 is great as a, they call it nutritional insurance. Sets me up for success. Make sure I'm filling in my nutrient gaps on the days that I'm too busy to adequately take care of myself. It's great, as they say, nutritional insurance. And with the impending holidays, the schedule changes, the trips, the shopping, people coming in a town, people going out of town, you're doing hosting parties, going to parties. It's very hard to maintain your schedule and your balanced diet. You make sure you're getting the nutrients that you need, which is why AG1 is super helpful. You take care of that first thing in the morning with a nice cool glass of AG1, and then you know you're set for the rest of the day. And then, really, the thing that I'm absolutely

enjoying the most is about 90 minutes before I go to bed at night, I take a packet of AGZ. I like it cold. Some people drink it warm, I hear, but you drink that about 90 minutes before you go to bed, and then an hour and a half later, you start to feel cozy and just like you want to lay down and relax and just melt into sleep. As a matter of fact, I have to make sure that I take it late enough. Otherwise, I'll go to sleep at like 8 p.m. AGZ has really helped me, not that I have a ton of trouble getting to sleep or anything, but it is really eased me into bed at night, and I'm absolutely loving it. So head to drinkag1.com slash regulation to get a free welcome kit with an AG1 flavor sampler and a bottle of vitamin D3 plus K2 when you first subscribe. That's drink

AG1.com slash regulation. That's all my housekeeping. I appreciate your house. I appreciate your as someone who also had housekeeping. I realized something really dumb last night. I'm embarrassed to admit. I'm playing a lot of ball ex pit. Great game. Great game. I put in dozens of hours.

And then one evening recently, Jeff and I played Arc Raiders. And we're talking about Ball X pit during our graders. And Jeff brought up, you can get five balls eventually, as opposed to just four. And I didn't really know anything. meant by that but I went oh cool and I was playing last night I've nearly beat every level and I realized that for the upgrade tree there's like there it's top left there's a row above

and a row bottom I realized the top row is only for the balls you can get and the bottom row is just passives andrew and that's what he meant that's the whole game I just have been there have been so many times where I've had the max amount of balls I could have and I keep cycling, because you can eventually gain the ability to spend gold to try to cycle new abilities in, and I go, I just, I don't want these. I'm trying to get, I'm trying to get this new ball. Not realizing impossible. Could not be done. Yeah, well, if you'd already filled out the top row, then you just recycled into your passives. Wow, that's a waste of gold. So much gold. So you played like half a game again? Not half a game, but yeah, yeah. Gold's pretty important

in that game too, especially early on. Yeah, well, I did another dumb thing with that game. I talked to, and I thought Jeff was going to be like, I did the same thing, but he just laughed at me, where... I still haven't done it. I've got like 55 out of 63 achievements or something, and I still haven't opened up the full field

like you did. So you do runs, and then you also have this field that you can open, and it starts, you get one block of the field, and then you have to pay to unlock each section of the field. And the first thing I did was I spent all my money, which is, a significant amount, just opening the entirety of the field. Holy shit.

Are you serious? Yeah, that was the first thing I did. So I had the entire field open and then like three things of wheat and like a thing of rocks. And it fucked up my game because the camera was zoomed all the way out, assuming that I guess I was a normal person who would progressively expand. So I couldn't see. I'd have to zoom in to try to find my wheat.

It created a whole huge noise. for me at the start. It's also so much money. Like, I just checked. I have, because my game is up playing itself in the background, I have five plots of land still to buy, and I've bought every building in the game

and have everything situated. And I still had five plots left to buy, and I just looked at them. I still can't afford them. I couldn't buy them all right now if I wanted to. And I've got a lot of them. I got like 11,000 gold right now. It's a whole lot.

But yeah, I, uh, don't do that. If you're going to start this game, I have the thing in games where it's how I play Assassin's Creed too before I do anything I have to like expand my map as much as it will allow me I just hate

having like restricted area so like I'll go do all the towers or whatever is the first thing I get that I get that you want to remove as much of the fog of war as possible yeah exactly it's the same thing with like any game where there's like you can lock pick or something

I always feel compelled to max that out because I just hate having a locked door or something I can't get to you. It would be fun to list all the games you've played wrong and, like, describe the Andrew Skull that you played with and see if, like, other people can do the Andrew Skull challenges on some of these games. I wonder what's the one I've spent the most time

in that I still don't know that I'm missing something for. I'd love to find something up. We only hear about the ones where you finally figure out. Exactly. There is. And there's been some Jeff Skull games, too, like the crackdown. Oh, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, okay. But maybe. We've had a Jeff Sculler, too. I think I played all of Army of Two not realizing you can upgrade the gun. That's incredible. I didn't know you could upgrade the barrel or something. Like I was adding like different attachments, but the actual barrel, which is I think the most important one was completely stuck the whole game. I know it's not any of us, but I still think one of the funniest I've ever heard is Bernie Burns playing through most of Fallout 3 before he discovered VATs.

Because it's impossible to fight without that in Fallout 3 specifically. Yeah, or Barbara Dunkelman told me one time that she had gone through like maybe 20 hours of Skyrim before she discovered fast travel. Was she like not even taking the horse and the carriages and stuff? She was just walking. I don't remember. I bet actually that's in Skyrim, I bet that's not that big a deal because you find so much stuff on the way. for sure that's crazy I have one last note if we just want to clear out all my notes for this episode yeah sure I was listening as as you guys know I've talked about it was listening to the radio

as I have been it's a new thing of mine and true colors by Sydney Lopper came on and I was listening to it and it made me think about what if that song was literal what if you could see colors for people so I visualized I did some visualizations and I made colors for everybody what I did was I imagine that I was in a Home Depot and there was a paint thing

and it was just like let's say Eric, Eric paint and I opened it up what colors would I see so I've crafted my interpretation of true colors I will post them

and then you guys want to try to guess who's you Oh, like which one of us it is? Whose color? Yeah, yeah. Whose two colors are these? I'll do the first one right now. I'll describe it to the audience.

Now, some have more, some have less. No judgment. It's just what I saw in the can. The first set of colors is like a cream, kind of a burgundy red, light blue, a green, and a yellow. Now, before we start guessing,

is this what you guys thought this was going to be, or did you think it was just going to be one color? Yeah, I mean, I mean, that's sort of just how it felt like it would have been. The song's true colors. Also, it's, because you've drawn on top of so much stuff, and there's a black line under it, I'm not quite sure what that is. But there's also, like, black little, okay,

there's like black little specks and there's an orange speck on the left. Yeah, there's something over there. It made me think my... Yeah, that was a combined animal. It made me think my screen was dirty. It's like you sent me dirt. That was sort of rub off my screen. Uh, which animal was that?

Uh, probably, uh, Chukugatur. Yeah, all right. Yeah. By the way, the fan art keeps coming in and it's fucking... Oh, so good. It's really good. It's really good. Thank you so much for everybody who submitted.

So we got cream, red, blue, green, yellow. As I said, I visualized it as in I saw the can and I opened it up and these were the colors that were inside. Pink can. Any guests? Who we looking at you? Have you ever looked inside of a paint can? Yeah, I have. It's just singular.

I was imagining it more. You know, like, when you get those. Christmas buckets of popcorn and it's three flavors, that's sort of like I combine those concepts. Segmented. Yeah, it was segmented. What color do you guys think of for Gavin? Green. I agree.

I think green as well. Green is the first color that comes to mind when I think of Gavin. I feel straight. It's the only one I feel strongly about. Is it because my name had a green outline in Minecraft? Maybe? I don't think I've ever watched an Achievement Hunter Minecraft video in my life. So we'll say

I will say I drive. I tried to, like, remove from my psyche, because obviously, Jeff, you orange, very associated with you. I tried to remove the obvious color things. Maybe they crept in anyway if it felt natural to me, but it was the thing I was cognizant of. So who do we think this color scheme is? I think it's Nick. I think the colors represent the many personalities of Nick all crammed into one little bloke. Yeah, something about the cream really screams Nick to him.

Okay, why that? one. I don't know. And then like your skills, like each color's like one of them is audio, another one is fast food. Your skill of fast food. Nick has any skill. For the golden arches. Yeah, I think it's Nick also. Jeff, what do you think? I'll go with Nick. Yeah, I'd take that. Okay. Do you want me to reveal who this is or do you want me to post the next one? Post the next one. Post the next one. Post the next one. Here's the next one. Here's the next one. It's green, blue This is Jeff

Kind of a salmon Orange and silver Oh this is Gavin Oh you think so? Oh this is Gavin Oh because of the salmon This is Gavin Yeah

I can see that Okay I can see that The the orange and like the silver threw me and made me think Jeff But the you're right You're right No the same And then the gray is his personality

Yeah this is Gavin So you think so far Cream Red Blue green Yellow is Nick. A different shade of green, blue, kind of a saminy, orange, silver.

Is, maybe it's not. Maybe it's the same. It doesn't matter. Who do you think this one is? The second one? Gavin. Gavin. Yeah, I'm noting all this, by the way, as we go.

Here's the third one. It is silver, a peach, and orange. That's got to be Jeff for Eric. I feel like it's Jeff, too, but he already. said that he tried to sort of divorce himself from the thought of Jeff is orange but I think maybe he's just too strong in

I could have just too strong I do like the color orange too it is I it's simple you know that the others are more complex insinuating a more complex person and personality it's simply this is a this probably a good window into what Andrew thinks of me I could see this being me yeah

just three dumb colors yeah it's just a bit scrottier than the other ones and there's only three I just feel like I'm leaning towards Eric on that one. Oh, okay. It's a little bit raty. It's a little bit raty. Yeah.

It's like a rat on an egg. Yeah. A rat on an egg. Great. And the last one. Yep. If the last one would have just been somebody's name, that would have been the funniest thing ever. It would just be gathered in it now.

Yellow, blue, red, silver. Oh, group photo. I think the third one is me. The fourth one is Jeff. Yeah, I think you're right. It's so interesting why some people have less colors. I don't know. It's just how the can look when it opened.

I can't... I don't particularly identify with the last one. I don't know. Maybe the last one's Nick. Did you draw one for you, Andrew? No. Hmm. I didn't even consider that.

Why? Didn't even cross my mind. Okay, so what do we... What do we think three and four, then? Like, if we're looking at all these now, what do we, do we want to go Eric than Jeff? Are there any others that we want to reconsider? I'm feeling like the top one is less Nick after seeing them all.

Yeah, but who is it instead? I feel like it's more me. Okay. Okay, so. As a note for people, these will all be available on our Instagram. Yeah, you don't want to miss out of these images. Yeah, don't worry, well, I'd love to see the community, their version of them. Yeah. So here are our guesses.

One is Nick, two is Gavin, three is Eric, four is Jeff. That is where we've landed. Okay. I'll reveal them now. The first one. You all thought was Nick, was none other, than Gav. That is my favorite one. I like that one.

It's the first one. too. The next one you all guessed was Gavin definitely can't be Gavin. Definitely can't be Gavin. You know what? You know what? Maybe they're all Gavin. I think it might be Gavin. You think it might be Gavin? Yeah. Interesting that you wrote his name in a color that isn't

in this thing above you, but whatever. It doesn't matter. It was just interesting, I guess. Sorry, I'm trying to find where I wrote down. Okay. Here we go. Here we go. Because I did this at a sequence. The next one. is none other than. Let me get these dogs out of here that I learned who they are. Oh my God.

Chef! Wow! Well, that was my favorite one. That was my initial guess and you guys talked to me out of it. That was definitely my favorite. The third one, which is silver, peach, and orange.

None other. The Nick. Also, I've never seen my name spelled quite that like that before. It's really interesting. Jop. Yeah, Jop. It's like a heart and then an EO, a tree, and then an F.

I can't believe you can't even Nick that one. I can't either. That's just what I saw. I know, like, I don't know. Very interesting. Nick, I'm so sorry. See, I like all these. I don't think there needs to be apologies for any of them.

The orange kind of makes sense. I think they're all great. Yeah. But those are the true colors that I saw for all of you. I wonder if all four of us should, at some point, do you, and then we'll all reveal what colors you think you are. Do you know what this riding me off so much was there was a VHS of Mr. Blobby back in the day, and he had blobby paint that was, it was blobs in the paint can, and he would paint it on in that.

I guess they used green screen, but it was pretty convincing at the time. They painted it on all blobby in spite. Man, but looking back, being amazed at shit as a kid, and they're looking back at it, you just think you're an idiot. I think I was in my 20s working at achievement hunter before I realized the whale in free willie didn't jump out of the thing at the end. I thought they did that for real. Did you think the kid was there too? I don't remember if I thought I actually jumped the kid. I thought maybe that was a special effect.

That was a special effect. Oh, fuck. It's incredible. That's great. Well, I'm excited to see the community's colors. I'm, what, can I ask you why Nix looks like that in your head? I don't know. I just, as I said, I gave all the setup to it.

I visualized crack it open that can. That's what I saw. I like them all, though. I didn't walk away from any of these going. We should all have to paint our offices, these colors. Whoa, that'd be terrible. Oh, man. It's going to be 1984 all over my office.

It's awesome. I guess maybe following this up, I did have a thought that I tweeted, and a lot of people disagree, but I feel strongly about this. if we got somebody I think if we got someone in this environment let's say one-on-one conversations

over like a Discord type thing someone who didn't know any of us I think over a 30-minute conversation I would be viewed as the most normal of the group the most normal in a bunch of one-on-ones I think I would come across the most normal of all of us

in a 30-minute conversation one-on-one I right Nick's out No, no shot No Nick would be caught Nick in a regular conversation When I think would be the most normal

Yeah agreed It like I think I think Nick is again The most regulation guy Andrew there's no fucking shot I just don't believe it I feel the complete opposite I think Nick it would

I think Nick would destroy us all Yeah he would be He would be the most normal guy You know what's normal Honestly like water in your tree in your backyard twice a week because you care about your yard. Like that's fucking normal.

Caring about college football, like Nick is, Nick is the normalist normal of us. The problem is we allow him space to let his freak out. And yeah, I think he's only, he's only normal if he's talking to someone about sports, though.

I feel like if the person had no relationship to sport, he would be freaking out over what to say. Huh. What about food? I think food would be another one I don't think food's gonna help you buy I don't yeah no I don't think so I don't think that's something you want to go into

all food is good if they bring up head of M&Ms you're in trouble you're gonna have problems Nick's had a normal job he worked in radio he went to college he's got a degree haven't we all had normal jobs

uh I haven't had a normal job in since the I mean I guess if you consider the army a normal job but I don't I haven't well I guess You did, like, tool repairing. Yeah, I guess I did. That was all so... I just don't...

You know, honestly, you get to a certain age when you look back, it's like watching a TV show. It's not you. Yeah. Like, I bear a little resemblance to the dude that did any of that stuff, so it doesn't feel like me.

I get that. So you all think Nick would be the most normal? Everyone except me. Everyone except you. I agree. Who do you... And then who do you think would be the most normal, Gavin?

Um... It's not you. Oh, it's not me Maybe Eric, because Eric just talk to like random dudes And he just goes into like phrase mode Where he just blends in by being like Oh, you know

Just knocking up these rocks and shit Getting ready to things Is that what you think phrase? I like that you couldn't think of a single phrase for phrase mode Knocking up these rocks I would have to adopt that The jack have it. Yeah

The entire point of origin is him with the beanhole Yeah Yeah, you're just like talking. It's so funny you say that, Gav. I feel like Eric has three phrases for every situation. Like enough to carry through one, any one conversation in any scenario. And I've heard Eric say number one with a bullet, maybe 500 times in varying situations to different people. And somehow it always fits and it always makes sense.

Still have no idea what that means. But it seems people are just like, yeah, yeah, definitely. Man of the people, man. You just got to, you learn how to just kind of blend in. and say a thing, and it's just normal enough that everyone goes, all right, this is a regular conversation I've had with every other day labor guy. Okay, and then everyone just kind of moves on. But for half an hour, I don't know, half an hour, I don't know if I could keep it up.

If I had to talk to a stranger for half an hour, I would just interview them about themselves. I would just make the whole conversation about them. This is something we could test out, though, if we just have someone who doesn't know any of us, and then they could score us one to five. a five point scale on normal I like this idea can we find somebody who doesn't know any of us but is willing to do this

oh yeah it's like how do we find them I like that it was pretty easy and then it's and is willing to do this oh fuck that was a part two to the fuck I saw a walk right now and hit a hundred people in front of my house that don't know who I am

I feel like that would also knock you on the score if you just approach them and ask them to be part of this. Yeah, that's true, too. It's going to have to be an intermediary. I think really what we're trying to do it here is have someone else host Toad in the Hole. Oh. Once they've had enough of us, we'll move on to the next person and they can rate us at the end.

Interesting. Oh, we're the toads being sent into the holes. We're the toads. And they're the hole? Or what? I don't, yeah, I don't know in this. I never thought about who was the toad and Toad. in the hole. Are they the toad? Are we the holes?

What kind of person should we get? Should it be like a... I don't know. Be a normal person. But somebody who's used to... Somebody who taught, who interviews people for, like a... I'm almost thinking like a recruiter or something, you know? Somebody who's used to... Somebody who's used to sitting down with strangers and having conversations with them and sussing them out and reading them, you know? I just think Gavin is so on board for this right now.

And then when we actually have to do it, It's going to be... That's... That's a really good point, Eric, is that... Oh, yeah. I feel like it's a phenomenal idea. I'm dreading it. I'm going to lose.

But I'll try... Now, when you say lose, do you think you'll be at the bottom or where do you think you would place? I'd be at the bottom. You think you'd be at the bottom? I think so. I hate to say it, but I think so.

What's your lead off topic? I couldn't even think of a phrase Eric said. I said, let's knock up rocks. I couldn't talk to myself because I said tomorrow is chores. I don't know. I have no open. I don't know how to open. I think about tomorrow is chores all the time. I'm good at the middle bit. The end of the beginning. I'm screwed. I think about it so much. Ideally, in my ideal world, I would come in and he would, the person or he or she would already be talking to someone and I would just be joining in. and then that person would leave and we would just carry on. I don't know how I would go in and sit down and be normal with someone. Was this on Discord or do we have to see them in person?

Discord. Oh. Yeah, I just don't, I don't think we could all see them on person. I think it's whatever, yeah, it has to be some kind of online thing. I think a recruiter is probably a good idea to do this. Discord sounds easier to me.

Maybe I'll be right. Yeah, I don't, because I don't want people to see me. No, no, I think it has to be just a... Because then they'll be like, oh, they'll have preconceivable. notions because of my catching and stuff. I'll be fucked out the gate. Love is blind, but for normalcy. It's sort of

what I envision. Normal is blind? Normal is blind. I'm turning my camera on. I'm turning my camera on and I'm going to wear a collared shirt. I'm going to have my camera on. And I'm going to have a different background. It's going to be very plain. I'm going to have my collar on, and my camera on and I'm going to wear

a sweater and driving gloves. So you're not driving gloves. So none of you are going to act normal, then. Well, I don't want her to see my tattoos. That doesn't, or him, whoever it is. I don't see how that comes into it. Because they're going to be determining how normal a person is,

and I think if they see somebody who's covered head-a-toned tattoos, it gives them an opinion even if they try not to. It still enters into the decision-making. It sets me off on a different path from everybody else. Maybe, but after half an hour, I'm sure they don't even think about it. Maybe. I'm not willing to take that chance. It's also, you've got to overcome that in half an hour.

You're losing ground. I just don't think Gavin's going to last half an hour. Oh, that's funny. I didn't even think about the concept of not having things to talk about, not being able to fill the 30 minutes is very funny. Hmm. I feel like I'm getting hot just thinking about this. You're the one who kept saying, this is a good idea, this is a good idea, this is a good idea. It is a good idea.

I think it's crazy that you wanted this. to be a five-point scale. That gives such narrow room for deciding. Those points really mean a lot on a five-point scale. I was thinking like a ten-point scale would make more sense, but five. Well, I said five because there's five of us. I assumed it would just be a ranking of normalcy. Oh.

Yeah, that's what, I mean, Gavin, that's exactly what I thought you meant to. I heard it like you, Andrew. I heard of it. 100% Gavin, I was on your side. Gavin, I'm with you. You were right. Team tape. Yep, absolutely.

And Nick is going to be the deciding factor. Nick? No bad ideas. Okay. For some reason he's just sitting there. All right, cool. All right, thanks. I just wanted to give a little bit of suspense.

No bad ideas. You still think this guy's going to be the most normal of all of us? He still think he's track? There's no way. We're not one-on-one. It's me at the bottom and Nick just above me. I'll still outstretch you.

You're going to stretch me? What the fuck is going on? Hold on. Nick, edit this. You know what I want to see? I just want to see a 30-minute conversation between Gavin and Nick. That's their show.

We need to hear what their fucking show is already so we can use that room. Can it just be that? You guys go in, no preconceived notions, 30 minutes, you sit down, start a timer, and you both start talking. When the timer goes off, you get up and leave. I mean, that is a great show.

But it's, it's encroaching heavily on Philly cheese steakout, which I feel like we should do first. Philly cheese steakout has to be, yeah. Yeah, I'm all about that. That'll be fun. Yeah, let's go. I think it'll be interesting to see people potentially try to overcorrect their normalcy. I think there's a potential in which you try so hard to be normal. Them understanding they're grading on a normal scale, I could see somebody being thrown by someone seemingly coming across as too normalcy.

and thus lowering the ranking. I'm not that this never crossed my mind of all right I got to when I'm in like the actual conversation I got to try to be like the most normal I'm just going to go in and be normal you're talking about wearing suits

right right that's the appearance everyone else said they're not going to turn on the camera I'm getting the advantage on the appearance the rest of it I have no concern over but see I even think being the only one with the camera or whatever I think that could hurt you I think that's going to get a way.

Yeah, if the four people don't have their camera on and you do, I think that is a little weird. Oh, go for it. Hey, hey, that's fine. And when I'm all the way at the top, at the peak, looking down at the rest of you in the dirt, I got no problem with whatever you're feeling. I think a lot of normal people have to be on camera for Zoom and stuff. Yeah, job interviews, work meetings. Oh, I'm not saying that that's not normal. I'm just saying in the context of what we're doing, I feel like anything unique could make you stand out negatively. Nope.

Could be viewed as out. abnormal. Exactly. In this weird normal, not normal vacuum. We've created. I don't know how we get this person, but I'm excited. Yeah, I mean, we can't go to the community, really.

No, definitely not. Absolutely not. We should start a tracker of, like, time to Gavin presenting an idea to Gavin regretting idea. Sometimes while I'm still saying it. This might be the fastest. I mean, this is definitely quick.

Yeah, I guess so. I mean, did I want to get my asshole waxed on camera? No. Was it a good idea? Of course it was. Oh, when she pulled out the wax strip. Ugh. Oh, yeah.

Oh, shit. I was very surprised when I looked at Jeff's soda drink and it was like 96 or 98% sugar the other day of your daily allowance. I guess I'm just not, I'm not in the soda world. but a lot of people have been pointing out how that's really not that bad for soda. Maybe I just thought it was high because it's near 100, but a Coke is like 130% of that's why I drink sugar-free stuff. There's like a small bottle of Coke is more Coke than you should have in a day. I probably have three sugar drinks a year, I bet. In the grand scheme of things, yeah.

I stay away from it. I prefer the chemicals. I prefer to die that way, the Aspatame and all that. Yeah, yeah. I have a Pepsi can on my desk. It's 41% if you're curious, Gavin. Oh, is that like a diet Pepsi? No, just standard Pepsi.

Just a base Pepsi. Yeah, I think Fago is just mostly sugar. 41%. I'm with you, Gavin. I think that that is nuts to consume. Like, that is a crazy amount of sugar from a single thing. Totally agree. Okay

Does Pepsi have less sugar than Coke there? But why wouldn't I agree? I drink Diet Coke all day long. I had one sugar drink in Michigan when we were on vacation as a... Yeah, I don't think any of us are judging you. I think you feel judged. I don't think any of us are judging you.

I just want to be really clear with you that none of us are going, that Jeff, no one's doing that. The way I said I agree when you went, Okay. It seems a little judgy. I used to get a large Moka Frappuccino like once a week, and I was... Me too!

So scared to ever look up how much sugar was in there. And I never did. And I kind of don't want to know. But it must have been way more than a Coke. Large Moka frat. They were good though. It was like... It was like oddly refreshing.

As someone who doesn't drink coffee, like, I don't know... Like, it sounds good, but I don't know what any of those words are. Would that be like your You said you get it like once a week Were there things that you would get also Or are you just like Oh that's like my one treat I'd just do that one time a week

It'd be like a one treat If I needed caffeine in the middle of the day Used to do it a lot before filming Did it feel like there was enough caffeine in there Did it like get you going Or was it mostly the sugar that was like ramping you up I think the joy is that you don't truly know Well don't look at what Nick just sent

Boy I'm gonna This is just a regular size By the way Just a regular A grande or whatever. Okay, so this is 51 grams of sugar. Hey, one gram of dietary fiber, though. 51 grams, I assume it would be 104%.

And then I was having the venty one. Ooh. That is. Oh, boy. Well, I haven't had one of those at least five years, so I feel right. Speaking of percentages, can I ask a really dumb question that is thinking about last night I couldn't sleep

what what percent gravity is Earth what percent because you go to space right and that's zero G so Earth has to have some G one it's one it's one G I would think it's probably one

Earth is one G yeah we base other gravities on our own gravity as a reference right okay so we're one and space is zero right space is zero if you're it's relative to

whatever you're looking at though like there is gravity in space but if you're like on a spaceship that's orbiting there's like zero G in reference to the ship what's a 2G place a 2G place?

What's a like what planet is 2G what planet is 2G I mean you would experience 2G in a lift probably yeah I don't think 2G is like that much I think 2G is cargo kind of fast Like cargo

You're definitely not gonna be able to transfer data over 2G Okay Jeff's a 5G guy only Only Like if you went up in a lift You would probably experience a few Gs Of gravity In the same way you would experience

Regular gravity Oh okay Yeah because that's fighter pilots right They talk about that Like Gs and knocking themselves out Yeah like some people sit through like 20 Gs or something if you're wearing the right gear

has to like squeeze your legs and stuff I wonder what's the most G's anyone's experienced there was a guy who was on some sort of testing sled of some sort I think he was testing ejector seats and he got ejected off this moving thing and he I think it almost killed him

but he hit like 40 Gs or something or maybe it's more I don't know goddamn do you want voluntary or non-voluntary? no. Non-voluntary, it's 214 Gs by Kenny Brack who experienced this peak acceleration during a crash in the 2003 Indy Car Series finale.

Oh. Yeah. Did he die? Doesn't say. What? Doesn't say. Yeah. His car hit a catch fence and the crash of violence recording system in his car captured the extreme reading. 46.2 Gs from U.S. Air Force Colonel John Stapp was voluntary in

1954. That was the rocket sled Gavin's talking about and went from 432 miles per hour to zero in one second. Oh my God. A deceleration

that made him feel as though his body weight over 7,700 pounds. Oh, shit. And he did that voluntarily. Oh. Oh, I hear.

That's insane. I fucking love the way they broke that up between voluntary and non-voluntary. Yeah. Incredible. Yeah, I think like a trampoline, you could do like eight. Oh, wow. Okay. Oh. Interesting.

I was going to ask you guys a question, this question a couple weeks ago, and I never got around to it. I was thinking about this, and I realized I had an answer, and I was surprised by my answer. Okay. If you guys had to pick, looking back on it now where you are in life, what do you think is the franchise, television and or film franchise? you've enjoyed the most in your lifetime. Oh. Mr. Blobby. Let me think.

That I've enjoyed the most. I came up with the question because I've been going through and rewatching all the aliens and predators and Terminators and then I was thinking about how none of these are that for me. So I was like, well, what would it be?

And I came up with an answer and I was surprised by my own answer. I was just wondering. Well, maybe could you share your answer? Well, I think about it. I think it's Evil Dead series for me. I think I've gotten the most enjoyment and I've appreciated the quality consistency

of the most across the Evil Dead franchise. Interesting. Is that even including like the more recent? I haven't seen the most recent movie but up until that one, yes. Including Ash versus Evil Dead, including the comics that I read in high school and then of course all the other movies.

Up until recently it was maybe Star Wars. Yeah. Like just lifetime. Star Wars I think I've probably, we gotten the most enjoyment out of and then fell off the most. Yeah, after the most recent movies. I feel like when I was younger,

I definitely would have set the mummy one and two. Wow. I just used to love those movies. But like when you look at it now, you don't, like Eric, you don't want to go back to Star Wars, but like what would you want to go back to?

What do you feel the most positively towards now at your current age? Man. It could still be Star Wars. I don't know. I just like, no, no, I get it. I understand what you're saying.

It's hard Man, those No, because even like those Batman movies, there were only like two of them that I really liked. I don't know. There's not a lot of franchises that are good consistently.

I mean, for Gavin, Gavin, is it Bond for you? Oh, Bond, yeah. Oh, that's a good one. I mean, I feel like nobody really watches Bond because they're good, though. You kind of just get into the franchise and you recognize that there's some dog shit in there.

Yeah. But yeah, I have some. I spent a lot of time knowing and watching and, like, researching Bond, I guess. Halo as well. Yeah. Oh, Halo, yeah. A weird one for me, and I was just thinking about this sort of, as an aside from the question you're asking, Jeff, is the Simpsons hold such a special place in my heart, but like,

it's such a specific time period of that show and of those games, but I still get really excited about whenever there's a new Simpsons thing. Yeah. But I have no interest really in, like, engaging. with current Simpsons. But I also would be sad if it went away. It is a very odd thing. Simpsons is a really interesting one in that way.

I saw that they were making a second movie again, or finally. And I got really excited about that, but I haven't watched an episode of The Simpsons in three or four years, and I could at any Sunday night I want to. Yeah. I have a hard time with this because I don't like most TV, and I feel like movies fall off so hard, especially with, like, franchises.

But if it's a game, it might be just like the Grand Theft Auto series, is like so so unstoppable for me like I just don't know that there's anything that like comes close to those games there's never been a bad

Grand Theft Auto no I just don't think there is like I didn't like GT London yeah that's because Britson and stuff right I just didn't find it as fun as one and two and three like

even Fallout like isn't street fighter maybe I don't know that's interesting street fighter's interesting yeah but I don't even play like the newer ones like it's just not

Grand Theft Auto I think just has to be it I was just thinking about how good Alien Earth was and how it made me like the alien franchise more and how I've liked the alien franchise the entire time

even the bad movies were okay for me but I don't know that I ever liked it enough to like say it's my favorite you know I've always appreciated it but I wouldn't say I'm like the biggest alien fan so you start thinking like what am I the biggest

fan of, like, what do, you know? I feel like I would like franchises a lot more if I was less of an idiot. Like, I really, really loved Super Mario 64. It was like my first 3D game. Loved their N64. But for some reason, I don't

entirely know why or what happened. I didn't realize that Super Mario Sunshine was like a sequel. And Super Mario Galaxy was like a sequel to that and they were the same kind of 3D platformer games. So you just never played them? Yeah, I just saw them on the shelves.

I was like, Super Mario Sunshine. And I just like looking at the back of the thing. I was like, I, you saw Mario and you went, well, this certainly can't be related to Mario. Well, I thought it was just a different Mario game, like a Mario golf or like a Mario party. I didn't realize it was like exactly a 3D platform that I was looking for. Right. So I played Odyssey and I was like, oh, this, it's like the old days of Verizon 64.

And then I just discovered all these games in between. I think it was just because I went to Xbox and I just kind of got away from Nintendo sure that makes that fair oh maybe Zelda then actually love that series Zelda's Zelda's a good one but I think that there are some stinkers in there that I'm just not a fan of at all I'll think more about this Jeff I can't think of the thing that I love that's like a media property or like entertainment all the way through right or that you like today as much as you did when you're a kid like I can't I spent most of my

childhood with Star Wars and the X-Men, right? And I just don't give a shit about either of them anymore, honestly. You know, I wish I did, but I don't. I don't care about comic books anymore. I wish I did, but it just got like, the Marvel thing just beat it to death. And I just lost all enthusiasm for that. But I was reading an article about Ash versus Evil Dead the other. And I got so fucking sad remembering how much I loved it and that it's over. And I was just thinking, Like, God damn. Once again, here, it's something that I'm enjoying in my 40s as much as I did when I was. I remember how excited I was when Army of Darkness came out and how great it was to go see it when I was like 17.

And it's weird to think that that's the franchise that has maintained my interest my entire life. I certainly wouldn't have picked it out of a lineup at any point in my life, you know? Do you think anything will go the other way? Will you eventually like stuff that you hate now? Maybe. Boy, I hope so. Do you think potentially you could like sushi? Yeah.

I mean, I totally, I think that's totally possible. And that's why, you know, from time to time you got to try stuff that you don't think you like over again. I didn't like, I didn't like Indian food until I discovered I liked Indian food when Gus and I had Indian food once, you know? And now I've my favorite types of food. So I don't enjoy sushi, but it doesn't stop me from going and slamming it down my fucking gullet every time I have to and giving it a shot. I was under the impression that people who don't like sushi just haven't had a piece of sushi they like. but they actually would like it if they found it, because that's what I was. I was never interested in even trying it. And I was like, oh, wow, this is pretty good. But you genuinely, you genuinely don't like it. You've eaten probably more sushi that I have in terms of like variety. And you're like, yeah, I'll eat anything you put in front of me. I'll give it a shot. I just won't like it. That's fine. But it's not going to stop me from doing it. I will say, in the sushi world, I'm not mad at Sea Bream. I'm okay with that. that's about it

interesting yeah C-bream for whatever reason that's okay but for the other yeah but I'll keep eating it

and maybe maybe one day you know I didn't like spicy food until I didn't like spicy food at all until I was in my 30s and then I like one day I just flipped a switch and I couldn't get anything hot enough

so I'm entirely receptive to the idea that my body could flip and I could be like the world's biggest fish dude someday maybe someday I'll be like I'll just be like eating mayonnaise out of a jar happy as can be

but I feel like it would have happened already, maybe. Andrew, if you had to start being a food guy for something you don't eat like an egg, or if you just got into something you've never had, what would it be in 2026? And this is just purely hypothetical, right? I don't need to strive for this. Well, maybe not.

I like what Jeff's saying with the mayo, because I like mayo, but I need my mayo of secret. I think if I could get over that hurdle, that'd be good. You need to not see it? Yeah. Like I've made sandwiches for people that have mayo in it and just like, it makes me want to puke. I don't look at it like the old thing. But I don't mind how it tastes as long as I don't know it's there. What's been the most recent, I know we should wrap up, but what's been the most recent discovery for you of a thing that you didn't think you'd like, but suddenly you do? Or you discovered that you like it. Oh, I got one, which is wild. I've noticed a few things, but one recently, talked.

talking about it earlier. I used to be a crush guy over a Fanta guy. Now I can't stand Crush. I'm all about Fanta. Big Fanta guy. Oh, how about Sun Kist? Don't have that in Canada, but I hear it's good. Oh, interesting. Dang, Fanta over Crush. Okay. Anybody else? Over crush. I'm not a soda guy, but that seven up tropical whatever that we got another 12 pack of at the office, that is something that I really learned. I'm probably going to have one here in just a minute. I'm already at the office and I'm probably going to have one here in a Nick because man, it's real good. And again, I'm not a soda guy at all. I'll have one. I'm going to drink Nix. You definitely did light up when you saw that at the grocery store. I got excited. Yeah,

like that has never happened to me with soda before. I didn't drink soda as a kid. Like, I don't really like soda at all. I think for me, it's got to be ice coffee. Oh, okay. Ooh. I didn't like, I'd never lie. I only liked hot black coffee, you know, and then Lewis Medina kept forcing it down my throat when we would go on all these trips across the country. And just one day, it just took. And now it's all I want. Where did, but you could have just got a hot coffee surely wherever he was getting the iced coffee from. Oh, I've done it many times. But like, sometimes it's like July or August and it's hot as shit outside. And he's drinking a hot blue bottle or whatever. And you're like, I don't want this. It's four p.m. You know? And, and you're like,

fuck it. He's like, get the ice one. Try the ice one. He was all, he always had like iced in his fridge. And he He was always, he was an iced coffee peddler. And so he gave me a couple for free, and then now I'm paying for him. I think my next thing will be black coffee. Hot black coffee. It's, you can't go wrong. Great base.

And this was a great episode. Yeah. It's great ending. Look, I'm not a closer. Well, you're the, you, You wrap. You're the host. I just did. Just keep wise. Okay, hold on.

Well, you've done it again. You've listened to another episode of the Regulation Podcast. Can you believe the adventure we all just went on together? The highs, the lows, the good times, the bad times, the inspiring times, the heartbreaking times. But the important thing is we were all together holding hands metaphorically and enjoying this time on a, Earth, or potentially if you are on a space station, an astronaut listening to this from space, your time just in our galaxy. We sure appreciate it, and we hope you'll come back next week.

Be sure to tell a friend or a coworker or an enemy or a stranger or a parent or a teacher or a guardian about this podcast. We'll see you next time. Bye, bye, bye.
