My name is Jeff Ramsey with me, as always. Air. What? Eric Badoor, Nick Schwartz, Andrew Pant and Gavin Free. Oh, didn't want me to be first. That's fine. I understand. It's OK. No, I just just got a little tongue tied. You know, I'm still I didn't get tongue tied. I got tongue tired. I'm still this is five tongue-tied. You know, I'm still I didn't get tongue-tied. I got tongue-tied I'm still this is five minutes since the last recording we did where I'm still exhausted from my

Kerfuffle the man just saw an exotic bird. He needs to gather himself Flummox from the bird. Mm-hmm. Did you just look at the photo and go enhance, enhance? We got to break this down. Do you feel like your brain gets tired before your body? I feel like my, my ability to speak breaks down before my ability to run. Oh yeah, for sure. Yeah. It didn't used to be the case, but yeah, for sure. Are you running a lot? Uh, that's a good point. I mean, not, not in this weather. Next time you start feeling a little sleepy, maybe like brain tired, just get up, just run as fast as you can and then see if maybe it'll wake you up.

Maybe it'll kind of equilibrium a little bit. Yeah. They try to have a conversation. See how smart you are. Run as fast as you can to Meg. Now I just can't speak, but also I'm trying to have a conversation so you have so much to say. Damn, you're right as fast. I wish you can't demag. Now I just can't speak but also I'm panting. I wish I could do stuff in my brain because I find that my eyes get tired first. That like I want to do things but then my eyes get tired and so I have to close my eyes

but I'm not sleepy but I don't want to open my eyes because my eyes are tired. Do you ever think about how when you pant, Andrew, you're panting, panting? No. Hmm. Maybe you will next time. Yeah. Close your eyes and see if you can picture it. I'm picturing it. But that involves me. I'm thinking of pants.

What if you were panting with your pants on? Yeah. And that's never happening. Pants on panting, panting. That was honestly the biggest issue I was thinking about when we're talking about jumping out of the plane and it being cold. Was that I'm not I'm not putting pants on for that. You have to find a short solution. You're going to even with like maybe new technology that would keep you warm at

thirty three thousand feet or whatever. You're still a shorts guy. I think it would have to be a long sock situation because I'm okay with long socks But I just don't want the pants would you wear parents at my funeral? No What if what if it was just one request? He's dead like I don't It's a request I have to do you think if you get married someday you'll wear pants at your wedding No, do you when you go to the doctor, you'll wear pants at your wedding. No.

When you go to the doctor, do you wear pants? No. I feel like the doctor is a pants on situation. I don't know why. It's always hot in Austin. Interesting. But I will put on a pair of pants to go to the doctor. Nah, shorts. Yeah, you gotta get comfy.

I don't understand the doctor thing. Whenever I go to anything that seems important or official, I feel like I need to... I can't look like I'm wearing swim trunks. I don't understand the doctor thing Whenever I go anything that this seems important or official I feel like I need to I can't look like I'm wearing swim trunks I don't know. Oh, those are fancy. Eric is posting Pharrell and shorts Those are some fancy shorts. The one that I always think of is LeBron way When I film promos for this for a PW the wrestling company when it's too hot I'm wearing shorts, but then I put on a suit jacket like this for AAPW, the wrestling company, when it's too hot, I'm wearing shorts, but then I put on a suit jacket, like the upper half or whatever,

and I walk around and I just tell everyone I'm LeBron. Just like that. Now, interesting thing about LeBron though, is that those are actually full-sized pants. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Do you wear hoodies, Andrew?

No, I guess not. So you wear t-shirts? T-shirts, yeah. T-shirt, shorts. Okay, so... You know, do you have a jacket sometimes? I don't know if I own a jacket right now. This is how it's going to be at Gavin's funeral. Gavin, your funeral is going to be Andrew, shaped, dressed like that.

Okay, let's, you know what? How would you like me to be dressed at your funeral, Gavin? Oh, however you want. You won't go, though. Well, no, I would go oh where is it? Why did he say it? He said it. No no no you know what let me reverse. Yeah where is it? Here? Where is it? I'm there. I'm there buddy I'm there. Where does everybody want to have their funeral? Oh that's a good question. Uh 33, thousand feet in the air and everyone has to jump out.

OK, there you go. That's how we spread your ashes. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, that's fine. How many ashes do you become? Like how many ash pieces? Oh, like how many? But I mean, like how many pounds of ash do you become? Well, it's it's going nuts. Which one? Fat boy. What pounds of ash do you become? What? It's a cat is going nuts. Pounds of ash.

Which one? Fat boy. Mm. Four and six pounds. So would that be like a million pieces? Like, I wonder who's been spread the most. That's a good question. Like, if you could have one little ash nug of your favorite celebrity, would you have

it? No. celebrity. Would you have it? No, no. Would you? I think so. But. Having an ash nug is below buying bathwater, I feel like you wouldn't want to like a little it'd be a little ash nug on a piece of tape in a frame.

Is it numbered? Is it like hard? Is it like one out of? If you could tell me what part of the celebrity it was, like you got a little piece of his right hand, maybe. I don't know where the ash was a part of. Okay. And like if it was the reason they were famous.

Oh, interesting. Like if you it was the reason they were famous. Oh, interesting. Like if you could have Howard Stern's throat. Yeah. Yeah. Like having a Howard Stern's elbow is nothing to me, but having a little bit of Howard Stern's throat. Yeah, sure. This is psychotic. I'm just imagining.

Oh, no, I don't like any any of the ideas of like what I would associate Howard Stern with as far as what he's famous for. I assume you're not meant to mail people like ash people. Ash people. Well, it's like you don't mean I assume you can't just stick an urn in the mail, can you? No, you definitely can. You can. Yeah, you can. You can mail ashes. Oh? No, you definitely can. You can. Yeah, you can. You can mail ashes.

Oh, oh, you definitely can. You can't just fucking you can't get like an envelope and pour them just in it loose. Like that's what I was thinking. Like, surely if you pour, if you just put one ash nug in an envelope, think it's not. I don't think they'd mind.

I don't know how you. Cremated remains must be shipped using priority mail express or priority mail express international. No other service is permitted. Surprising. That's how I send Andrew his paychecks every month at Priority Mutual International. So if I wanted to I could sprinkle some Gavin or somebody in there and it'd be totally fine. Well that's what I was thinking, maybe you've already mailed someone that you just didn't know. Like if they were just caught on the wind when you were sealing up an envelope. Caught on the wind.

Well, if people are scaring stuff into the air, would that piece of person land on you at some point? Then that means you probably have breathed the person at some point. Yeah, it's just, well, just carbon. If I ever breathed the person, I don't think I have. You wouldn't know. No, what I'm trying to think of scenario. I maybe you're trying to think of like if you've been Lebowski'd.

Definitely would know if I've been Lebowski'd, but I'm just trying to think of like, I feel like when you get ashes, they're pretty secure. And I've never been around an open urn. So the particles are everywhere. I told you guys that story about how my mom Lebowski that family with my dad, right? Fuckin brutal dude my dad we have my dad's ashes And he loved the ocean he loved the beach and so my mom was like I want to take and spread his ashes He loved the ocean, he loved the beach, and so my mom was like, I want to take and spread his ashes Oh no, this is a bit-

I think it was the Gulf Shores, maybe. She's like, I want to take and spread his ashes off the pier And then you get up there and there's signs that are like, you can't do this, you need a permit And it was like we were like, oh fuck, and so I guess it's something that happens a lot We started reading about it on my phone. They're like, yeah, it's hyper illegal And so you gotta have like a permit or something to do it and my mom goes we're not I don't want to do that Let's just let's just do it where nobody will see so instead of throwing him off The edge of the pier she's like, we'll just go under the pier and so we go No, my mom just walks out to the wise I rolls her legs up

She walks out into the water a little bit and she just takes the box and like throws it in the air and Like my grandma was there and she's upset. You know, a little bummed and, you know, my mom's slinging ashes. And as she does it, we hear a, uh, and I look over and there's a family walking in the water towards us, like a mom and a dad and the dad holding a kid in his arm. And the mom is like holding another kid's hand and they see it coming and they just all huddled together and they like shield And they got dusted by my dad To the right of us and we just booked it out of there. Oh my god We just booked it the fuck out of there. We know he loved the water. He loved families

She fly- tipped your dad. Hahaha Ironically, that's probably the best thing my dad could have asked for. Like if he thought that was an option, he would have chosen that. My dad was a, you know, he was a prankster. Hahaha He had a sense of humor. Everything he wanted.

Has anyone been buried as ashes? Get cremated, pour all the ashes in the coffin and then in the coffin burial. Best of both worlds? Best of both worlds. Probably just vampires. You know, man. Yeah, that's a good call. I just I can't imagine an open casket where the person's been cremated ahead of time. I think why won't Take my head off, right?

Just get all the flesh out cremate the rest of me put it in the skull I'll be my own interesting I don't want your huh What about like your your eyehole sockets and stuff? Yeah, it wouldn't hold any do you think any? Or you're not leaving anything is gonna leak out Well, I think a raccoon could a raccoon could just come and eat those right so that shouldn't be a problem Why would a raccoon have access to my skull? I don't know

I just figured it's like Jeff serial killer like it would just come in eat your brains eat your eyes and then like leave you For your ashes. Why would it have access to your skull because it's hanging out in your attic with all the squirrels and snakes. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, you're full. It's full of squirrels and snakes now. Yeah, I had a had a snake. I can't come I can't come back to your house. Wait, what? I can't go to sleep. I can't come back to your house.

I can't believe it happened after Jeff brought it up to. I couldn't believe it. You said that video and I just went, well, you should have done that. I swear in a recent podcast, I said that I rarely see snakes, but I did just see one. So I'm probably not going to see one for another 10 years. Yeah, you did. It was like the next day it was in my snake follows thing.

I was talking about. Yeah, I can't post this public because it's literally on the front of my house. I can show you a lot. Oh, I need nitro. Just put it in slack. Put it in slack. Put it in slack. It freaked Jeff out.

Jeff was not happy. It was right after Jeff had talked about how he'd seen a snake. I know, I was talking about how I realized that I'm every day I'm getting closer to seeing a snake in person and that, you know, every decision I and the snake or its Parents make is putting us closer to to intersecting and I'm not jazzed about that. Okay, so we got a snake situation It's oh, it's climbing up. It's big that is intimidating snake How many feet you think that snake is three feet four feet probably?

Yeah, 11 and it and it crawled it crawled up the side of the house, and then I lost track of it. It didn't lose track of you. I don't like losing track of that. Why, what do you mean, lost track? Just get up in that attic with the squirrels and go have a look, and he's up there. It probably is after them.

Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Yeah, or like I was telling you, it's just going home from work after a long day of snake job, and it just wants to fucking chill in front of Snake TV with its wife and kids in your attic

where it lives in its snake community with all the other snakes that are right above your head at all times. You think I was just hearing the snakes the whole time? Oh God. Well, I think you heard the snakes eating the squirrels the whole time. Yeah.

I got Pest Control coming today. Thank you. God. Oh my God. Did you let them know that it's snakes? Oh boy. Well, that wasn't in my original email cause it hadn't happened yet. Probably let the guy know so he knows what he's getting into.

What about the squirrel? Did they take care of the squirrels? The people who haven't come yet? They haven't noticed. Do you still have them. Well, that's like a snake now, dude. It's coming after a squirrel. Yeah. You send in a spider to get the fly. Maybe he'll die pretty soon.

There's going to be a gorilla climbing up there to eat the hyena that was there to eat the fucking snake that's there to eat the squirrels. Gavin's house is just slowly turning into an arc. It's just going to be every animal is going to exist. There's going to be one of every animal skeleton and the largest animal will be alive. I'm imagining your cremated skull and skull thing. That's the skull. Go to skeleton.

What did I add? Another one. Anyway, I I would only be OK with it if you put these googly eyes where the eye sockets are. I'm greatly disturbed. But then when I imagine seeing that, but those little googly sticker eyes, I would be OK with it. Well, the skull would have to be upside down, surely. I think you just have to seal it somehow. Seal my under face.

Maybe like a under skull. I don't know what that's called. Searching for googly eyes on human skull does not produce that, but it does produce a lot of other really weird things. I'm sure. Interesting. So you have pest control coming for the snake or is it unrelated for the squirrels, The squirrels? Yeah.

So they're coming today for the squirrels. For whatever's in my ceiling. Yeah, they're coming today for the squirrels, but they're going to be really excited when they see it's full of snakes. Yeah! What are you going to do with it? Like could I have got that snake down? I think it would have tried to choke me.

No, you leave the snake. I don't think it tries to choke you. If there's a snake climbing up my house, I'm getting it off my fucking house. I'm spraying it with a hose until it gets off. You think the snake would have tried to choke you? Yeah, locking that rear naked. Well, I assume it's a constricting snake. I also think it would try to choke him or eat him.

Yeah. Like how big does a snake... I'm sure a four-foot snake could choke me out. Mm-hmm. Yeah, I don't think it's gonna try. I don't think that's the intent, though. No, I don't think it's just I don't think it's going to. I don't think that's the intent. No, I don't think that's what the snake does. It wants to bite a hole and then crawl into you like a tauntaun and then stay. Want to constrict me, but from all what constricts me from the inside,

it just goes in and squeezes my heart. It's like Keanu Reeves in the second Matrix movie. So that would be the greatest betrayal of all for Jeff. If Gavin got replaced by a snake and we've been doing a podcast with Gavin Snag for the past, however many episodes. I would be so. Send us a picture of your tongue. It's like the thing, but just tongue checks. Stick the tongue out.

You're not a snake man. Good. Making everyone do it through like a nest before they're allowed in your house. Do you remember when I bought us a bunch of tongue sleeves? What was that for? Oh, that's a bit barrel thing. And I also don't know where they are. I don't know what happens on my house.

If I'm going to eat stuff without tasting it, I don't remember. Oh, that was a bit barrel thing. And I also don't know where they are. I don't know what happened to them. I'll have to buy more. Were we gonna eat stuff without tasting it? I don't remember. Oh, that was what it was. We were gonna see what it would be like if our finger buds were on our hands. So we were gonna put whatever it was inside the tongue sleeve and then that would be how, maybe that was it.

Sounds right. We'll throw it in the bit barrel and then the audience will tell us. Or maybe we could put garlic on our feet and lick stuff with the tongue sleeve and see if everything tastes good. Spin around a circle three times. Yeah, that's good.

A couple weeks ago now, in real time, maybe four or five episodes ago, we discussed what

a regulation popcorn bucket would be and then we decided it would be funny if we made a port-a-putty. Port-a-putty? Port-a-putty. My brain. My brain's too tired. It would be and then we decided it would be funny if we made a porta putty porta putty porta potty My brain my brain's too tired. It's more. I could probably run really fast Hit the pavement we talked about making a porta potty popcorn bucket which we all thought was hilarious and then we

We talked to Natalie and we set them in motion just to see if it's feasible. And they came back with an eight inch, which is about the standard size, porta potty pop up. What popcorn bucket, God, dude, what hand off the baton? What are you doing? And we want to see if the audience is actually interested in it. If this is the thing that we should actually pursue or if this is one of those ideas That's funny to talk about but not actually make this thing would probably cost in the neighborhood of 30 to 35 dollars I've put some images up

I've actually put the same image up twice somehow In our discord so images of the porber puppy. Oh man of the porber puppy That you as an audience would buy Genuinely because it would we would probably have to make at least a thousand of them It seems like a lot to make but the porta potty is pink the top comes off You can fill it with popcorn inside the porta potty is a normal toilet. Not a porta potty toilet, but a small normal toilet that opens up and can hold one popcorn kernel like Gavin requested. On the top of the popcorn lid or on the top of the toilet

lid would be the regulation butthole logo. Is this something you as a customer, as a regulation listener or a comment leaver, I guess we'll never know for the regulation listeners so it's only to the comment leavers Will you buy this should we make this is this something you actually? Want to own or is this a bad idea like the slop o'clock clock that we're gonna have to figure out how to get rid of 1200 I mean, it's obviously a bad idea. It's just a popcorn bucket. That's horrifically difficult to clean I would definitely get one though. Yeah, I showed it to and Vanessa and they were like, I'd pay 40 bucks for that tomorrow. So I was like, I was thinking like, maybe not.

Like, maybe we don't do this. Maybe it's like it's dumb. And then Bernie and Vanessa were like, I was like, what are you guys thinking? They're like, I want one yesterday. And I was like, seriously? And they're like, yeah, I would pay. I would pay good money for that tomorrow. So I think it's just a cool prop. But you don't have to use it. Yeah, I'm looking at it. I'm thinking that that would be a great earn. I think that's where I'm going.

Oh yeah! Oh, popcorn bucket slash earn! Yeah, lock me in. Shouldn't we sell it as a slash earn? Is there some sort of tax break we can get from being an earn? Can you sell and earn? I don't think, I don't think typically earns are sold

as also edible like things. Well, it's whatever you want to store edible food. You decide when you first use it what it's going to be. I guess any container can be an urn. Yeah, even a Folger scan. I feel like that'd be such that'd be such like if there was a new Elvira movie at Alamo be an urn popcorn bucket. That's really I didn't think about putting ashes in it,

but I guess you could. And then you could just put the top on and never take it off or take it off and talk with your loved one. I'm not really sure. I was I was thinking about like the worst chase thing would be like one gerpel. Gerpeler was filled with ash with ashes, like a popcorn bucket where there's one in Gavin's philosophy or like his his his great

Ash kernel or whatever there's one in the toilet. Got to check your toilet to see if you got a singular ash piece There's just like a little piece of bone that didn't quite get burned Nasty Well, let us know in the comments if this is something that seems like something you would want. Um, I actually have something I wanted to bring up and this was pitched to me by our friend Alyssa and I've been kind of sitting on it, but I think it's a good idea and it's something I want to explore.

I just don't know how to explore it. Um, I feel like we're sometimes an outdoors podcast, especially when Jeff is on a bike, seeing a snake, being afraid of a snake, but you have to do that when you're out in public, right? You got to be in these public areas. And sometimes it gets, sometimes you get too tired. Sometimes you get too hot. Sometimes you just need to have a seat. What was pitched to me and I think we should do is we should do commemorative benches. We should get commemorative benches around the United States. So that way everyone knows have a regulation seat in the park and just kind of hang out. There's a bunch of different kinds. I think we have to talk to different

cities but imagine that the second picture that I sent is a dog and he's hanging out on a memorial bench with a bunch of memorial things on it. That's it. Some of these are just bench sponsorships and not dedicated to people who died, which I'm sure a lot of people think that's what it is normally.

So just a regulation bench. I think it's great. I think we should try and put 50 regulation benches down in America, one in each state. And the challenge is to sit on each one. I think we got to have a regulation bench in every state. And we have to physically sit on it and do a podcast from it. Could the first one be a deputy?

Well, that's sort of where my mind is going with this. Right, right. But I just don't know. I don't know if deputy has any parks or benches or that's a struggle for sure. I'm a removed deputy. What if because there's there's one bench in this photo that you're listening that has multiple things on it. If we lock down a bench and then whoever wins face off gets to put a thing on that bench.

And it's like the Stanley Cup or like the team gets engraved onto the thing. But the prize every season is you get to add an engravement of your choice to the bench. So like our trophy, our trophy each year is just a plaque on the bench that people can sit on. And every year we'll put a new plaque on for the winners. Yes. The winner gets to pick what the plaque is for that bed. And we just keep adding as we do seasons. I also think we can absolutely do the bench and deputy. I think we go to Home Depot when we buy a bench,

we put the plaque on ourselves and we just drop it somewhere in deputy Indiana. We do the podcast and we leave it and we see if it stays. I like everything about everybody's idea. And I think this is perfect because we pitched an idea while back called hide and speak where we do podcasts in public where people can't see us remember talked about kind of like what we did with with the halo video with Gavin's halo video where he showed us where he and he would hide and

hit on girls. Halo it's one girl it's kind of like that. It's an old idea it's on the sheets idea but anyway I love this idea because I've been wanting to do podcasts outside anyway, and I love I Love the idea of commemorating. I like I like to sit big sitter. I think this is awesome That is not a comfortable bench no, but it does say class of 1973 quote Don't stop thinking about tomorrow Fleetwood Mac so we can get whatever we want on a bench apparently You guys want to hear a somber bench dedication story I? Guess if it's too dark we can cut it from the upset

Couple years ago couple years ago in Austin at Millie's pediatrician office a Guy came in you know what listen where I'm not gonna tell this story as you started saying it I went yeah we shouldn't include this yeah never mind I'm not gonna tell the story why don't we put on patreon if you want to be bummed out all right it okay You can leave out the beginning part, maybe Feel like it's integral it is kind of integral so a

guy who had Mentally ill went into a Pediatrician's office in Austin and took them hostage the the doctors that worked there an all-woman Pediatrician's office and then he ended up killing one of them and then committing suicide it was Millie's Pediatrician's office, but not her pediatrician. Anyway, it was a big deal in Austin. It was heartbreaking. It was really sad It was it was terrible in every way and then Emily and I were in San Francisco For something I don't even remember what this is like two years later And we went to a park and we sat down at a bench to look at the view and the bench Was dedicated to the doctor who got killed that's in Austin because her brother lived

No, her brother lived in San Francisco and wanted to do something to commemorate her So he bought the bench and commemorated for it was just wild that two years later We said a random bench on the other side of the country. You know what happened to be dedicated to this person I don't think I've ever been as out on a story in the first half and then as in in the second half, Jeff, that was impressive. I was when you started that, I was like, I don't know. What world is this a good story to share? And you really pull me in.

That's a crazy quiz. Yeah, it was just like just one of those things where you like, how is how is that possible that we sat on this particular? Yeah, that's all in this scene, even in this park, let alone in the city of San Francisco. Yeah, that's crazy. even in this park let alone in the city of San Francisco That's wild. Yeah, I Have had an interesting life change with pillow mountain. I've expanded We've got a whole new layer a pillow mountain. You got nine pillows now. No, no, it's not about height. Oh

It's a whole new layer Did you get king-size pillows or something? Are you going wider? No, I have I about height. Oh, it's a whole new layer. Did you get king size pillows or something? Are you going wider? No, I have. I already have a few of those, but no, it's what I'm doing. Is I'm burrowing into the mountain now. We got a whole new game. What does I got? I'm so I used to be someone who didn't like sleeping with like a blanket

or like anything over their face. The air would get hot. It was unpleasant. You don blanket or like anything over their face. The air would get hot. It was unpleasant. You don't put the blanket over your face. Who sleeps with a blanket over their face? Well, just, you know, like if you're you're laying under the blankets and it's like a blanket fort or situation or what, I just didn't like I'm not like wrapping a blanket around my face and then trying to sleep.

But like if you're underneath. Yeah, that would. Yeah. Why would you think that? You must be insane're underneath. Yeah, that would. Yeah. Why would you think that you must be insane, Gavin? Anyway, I realized that with my CPAP machine, it's really just like a breathing thing. And I'm not getting air from my nose directly. It's exterior air. So I've been burrowing in because I like the weight of the thing on top of me. And I'm not dealing with the hot air because the air is coming

From somewhere else. I'm getting external air. I feel like I'm I'm like above ground Scuba diving like non water scuba diving with this thing on it's great I've been burrowing where does all the carbon dioxide you expel go in a in the CPAP? I've never thought about that. Does it take it out or their vents? Okay. Yeah, that's like a vent in the front. Are you just creating under your under your blankets a situation that Gavin is dealing with with his cats in his office? I don't

think so. Well, yeah, you would be increasing the carbon dioxide in the in the trapped air area, but you're still getting new air. Yeah, I'm getting I mean, we're cranking the pressure. It's the it's jetting. It's great carbon monoxide. Who? What? Jeff say carbon. Oh, yeah, I did.

But you know, he's sleeping in his car with the garage. No, no, no, that's next week. That's next week. How's your body doing that? I just feel like it's unlocked the whole new layer of sleeping for me. I can sleep in any position now. I can. It's great. I go on little adventures, get the pillow stacked, burrow in. I've done it, too. I've done some like under under the pillow sleeping.

But I do feel like if my face is too close to a pillow, the vent starts to create sound against the pillow. It starts to be. Yeah, that can be a problem. I just rewind it here for a second. What kind of little adventures are you going on? I'm just different layers of the different pillows. Sometimes we're going underneath the like a throw, like a little blanket type situation. I just feel like I'm adventuring.

What? I just feel like I'm exploring a little bit. I just feel like I'm exploring a little bit. I just feel like I'm sleeping in new ways and it's exciting. So sometimes you like cramming your head between four and five and you're like, yeah, yeah. Or like different weights. I like feeling trapped in a safe place. I got to say everything you said, I kind of know what he means. I kind of I kind of I kind of know what he means I kind of I kind of I kind of like being at like the bottom Oh, I don't know if I can handle the bottom of pillow mountain

That seems like a lot to deal with but like three or four pillows up put my head in I quite like weight on my eyes like I tried a weighted sleeping mask, but it was great It was it wasn't very good. I didn't like it. You're basically deep-sea diving in your bed I am that's how I feel like I'm adventuring. Yeah, you're like Jacques Cousteau I feel like if I had I feel like I would genuinely be able to sleep if you put eight pillows stacked high on my face While I was pap in like they're just pillows on my head and then someone sat on the top of the pillows I think I could sleep like that. So you would like to be the P in the Princess and the P situation. Yes. Yeah, I would be the bowling ball

at the bottom of the mattresses. It's really it's comfy. I don't know. It's it's like I do. I feel like I've never scubaed before. I feel like I can scuba now. I feel like I've learned through this. I've scubaed confidence because of the CPAP. I actually prefer CPAP sleep without then like no CPAP sleep.

There's something fun about it. I know people don't enjoy having to be like hooked up to the machine. Typically, I actually I like. Well, it's not the point is that you're supposed to like it because you sleep well, finally. No, no. But like people that use it are like, oh, this sucks. Having to have like this machine Attached to my face while I sleep. I actually kind of like I feel like I'm going on an adventure

Is that just because you have so few real-life adventures? No, I just Just a minute. I don't know. I just happy about it. Why you got a yuck is young man. How did I? I'm with Gavin Gavin. I'm with you Andrew. I'm with you. I appreciate all right, and it all it all comes down to Nick In his bed wait, okay, so wait hang on so Nick Nick wants to adventure with Andrew Don't know if Nick's been paying attention to what's going on. Nick's apparently in the other room right now having a conversation with him. Nick could use a hose with air going directly into his mouth I think. Nick needs a CPAP when he's awake. Oh Christ I

Nick can throw I love hanging to spend it more time with Nick you just Chime in and I don't know which side he's on ever I never expected going into face with you guys that Nick would be the wild card But he kind of is. It's like that all the time too. 100% he's the same way where he just, he's agreeing with you, but the way he says it makes it seem like he's disagreeing with you.

And then you're like, are we in a fight? Like, what is it? And he just keeps going. Yeah. No. Yeah. What? No.

It's crazy. I hear you. It's all right. I saw, I think I talked about What? No. It's crazy. I hear you, it's all right. I saw, I think I talked about this with the guys the other day. I saw a post on Reddit that was like on the front page that was like, what legendary YouTube channel stopped making videos?

And I wanted to see where Rooster Teeth ranked. So I went in and scrolled down and scrolled down and scrolled down. And then I finally saw someone said Achievement Hunter. So I replied and I just said LOL. But then I was reading some of the comments and people were like really going to bat for us. So like check out regulation podcast.

This is really awesome. They like, oh, they're still doing this stuff. It's so much fun. All these video game videos, whatever. And then it's like, oh, I like them all, but I hate Eric, blah, blah, blah. Oh, when Andrew does this, I don't like it, blah, blah, blah. There was one guy that's like, yeah, I like the show,

but I can't stand Nick. And it was like, just went like, oh, right. You don't need to worry about what people on the Internet are saying. That is the craziest take that blew me away. I can't stand Nick. What the fuck are you talking about? Wild, wild, crazy. Nick said the craziest thing I think I've ever heard him say yesterday.

We were recording a game play. Yeah. Gavin burped. And oh, my God. You remember what he said, Gavin? He said he said, oh, that sounded like a tasty one. Oh, you know, we weren't recording. We were just we were just getting ready to like set things up and that was his genuine reaction to

Gavin's burp and it just like it it was so crazy it passed by without notice for a minute But that's never good Some foods is good But that's never good. That's so gross. It's gross. If you have a good lunch. Gross. Some foods is good. Yeah. There are some great verbs. That's right. Thank you.

You're right, though, about Nick being the wild card, because Michael brought this up or he's like, oh, you're playing video games with like Jeff is like, oh, Jeff will like throw a grenade. Then he's like, run, run, run. I'm like, yeah, that doesn't really happen with what we're doing. Mostly it's Nick listening to Gavin. And that's like ultimately our problem. And so when you hear about this burp,

what you just go like, yeah, I mean, Gavin's like egging them on, but it's not like it takes even like a push. It's just like a kernel of an idea. Like he's incepting Nick while he's awake. But the inception is just going, what about this? Somehow, somehow it's going seven layers deep and burrowing into an idea. It's like working. Do you guys... You guys know... You guys ever see those articles online or like on Reddit

or whatever, TikTok, where they're like, what's something that you could do in 2000 that just doesn't exist or you can't do or the world doesn't work that way in 2025? You know what I'm talking about? You ever see those? No, but I know what you mean. I see them a lot. And they're like, it's like, it's like, oh, you used to be able to walk up to the fucking

gate at an airplane before 9 11. Sure. Like those kinds of things. I was at the grocery store with Emily the other day at HEB and we were leaving and I realized that we had the shopping cart, we were taking it out and it did that thing where it locked and we couldn't go any further and the guy had to go,

oh I'm sorry and he had to like press a device at our shopping cart to unrelease it so we could go outside with it. Because I guess they have shopping cart theft they have to deal with. And that got me thinking, you couldn't launch Jackass in 2025. So much of the beginning of that series was shopping cart related.

You just can't steal and use shopping carts in 2025 anymore. They have the protective devices on them so they don't go outside of the parking lot. You'd have to break your cars. You'd have to jailbreak your shopping cart so that you could run it into a shrub. If if the Jackass guy started today, they would have a much harder time than they did way back in whenever it started. That was my realization. Wow. I couldn't think of a more lower stakes heist

than finding a way to steal a row of shopping, like a bunch of shopping carts. Starts out low stakes, but they made hundreds of millions of dollars off that. Like, I don't mean individual theft of them. I'm imagining someone being like, OK, we're going to hit H.E.B. where it hurts. We're stealing all of the cards. Yeah, I think if you stole a line of like 40 shopping carts, that would be the loudest possible thing to steal. I'd be pretty fucking.

That's that would be pretty good. Like when I worked at Target was like my first job and I pushed carts and they had like, it was just line them all up as many as you could and then push them to like the front of the store again, like from the parking lot. It was, I was just looking back on it. It was so loud. I never thought about it. It's so loud. Just being 16 years old, pushing 30 carts as hard as you can. Just like whatever. Like just like a sensory overload for eight hours a day. I'd never thought about that.

Yeah, it's loud as shit. Speaking of your cards, the gaming thing I need to talk about. I've been excited about this for a while. They announced a Garfield cart to and it is fucked in like the way that only Garfield cart could be. First of all, they didn't announce it via a trailer or announcement. There's just a steam page now for Garfield Cart 2, and there's no other material on it.

It just is like, hey, this is going to be a thing that happens. The other issue is that this is Garfield, Cart three. I don't know. I don't know what they're doing because there was Garfield, Cart, and then there was Garfield, Cart, Furious Racing. And now there's Garfield, Cart two. So I don't know if they're disregarding the first one or a Furious Racing is like maybe they've named their third one too for no reason.

I'm very worried. I'm very worried about the quality of this game. It's a different dev team. The quality. Maybe it's a prequel to Furious Racing. It could be, but it's a different dev team. And their last game was Smurfs Racing, which did not have online multiplayer.

So I'm worried. I'm worried that there won't be any online multiplayer in this thing. I does have a leaderboard, apparently Smurfs Racing, but. There could be more Garfield Cart in our life. Garfield Cart 2 slash 3 has much been shown from Garfield Cart 2 slash 3. No, not that I've seen. Like, it's just a steam page. I don't think there's a trailer out for it.

At least last time I looked. Hmm. I just I got really excited because all these people were tagging me that Garfield Cart 2 is coming. And then I looked at it and it's like, it's just a steam page. Like, it's not even an announcement. Like they just made a store page for a thing. I don't think they've even officially commented on it. What if it's just some guy made a page for it?

No, it looks like a real game and it has like the everything's credentialed the right way, but it just is not. It's not looking good for Garfield, Cart, someone who's a believer. You know, people people swear by Sonic racing, obviously Mario Cart leader in the space, but Garfield Cart 2 furious, right? They really figured out some things in that racer. And I've been away. Oh, yeah. Eric just posted the box art. It looks like shit.

Oh, you can drift. The proportions on Garfield are not right. Now his head is the body. Yeah, a his head. The body is a little teeth. He has mean teeth. Normals wearing a little hat. Here's for reference, here's a quality game. That's a good looking Garfield right there.

Yeah, that's a great Garfield. Furious racing. Great game. Yeah. Do you think it'll come out on Switch 2? I think everything's coming out on Switch 2 that can. Oh, cool. I can't believe Cyberpunk's on Switch to? I think everything's coming out on Switch to that can. Oh, cool. I can't believe cyberpunks on Switch to. How does that run?

I'm wild. I just that is on switch. It's all on the cartridge, which is insane. Yeah, it's really impressive. I had another racing video game related thing. I'm going to share my screen. I got an achievement in a unique way and road craft. We filmed a few videos and roadcraft. It's so good. It's great.

It's a great game. It's the best game I've ever played. Gavin got that achievement that I got and I'm going to show in a video that we film. I don't even know how I got it, but I checked on my head. Is it the falling one? It's the falling one. So this is a clip of me and I talked to Nick.

So I think we're recording this and are you on here? I am on sunken here. I'm trying to clean up a road. So I filled up literally as many blocks as I can. Pieces of cement. And I had just spent a lot of time looking at my map. I'm going to hit this clip. So we're starting. I'm like, OK, I'm ready to go.

Let's go. Oh, no, I filled it up and I'm tipping. That sucks. And then this happens. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that happened to my friend, I think one time. Yeah, that I've seen that a few hundred times in SnowRunner. Oh, yeah. That's a SnowRunner thing. This is a carryover. Oh, I've never experienced thisner. Oh, yeah. That's a SnowRunner thing. This is a carryover. Oh, yeah. Never experienced this before.

Oh, yeah. You like a tornado. I am destroying all of the trees in the area. I'm flipping around. I'm flying for people that are just listening. My truck is spinning like a tornado rapidly in all directions. But unlike SnowRunner, there's no vehicle health, so I'm not taking damage. It's got deep water. You are what happened to that town I'll show you where I end up you're the natural disaster upside down on the roof upside down on a roof wow just bouncing around

I'm stuck I'm trying to get out I'm trying to use my crane to get me off of this building. Yeah. The problem you have here, too, is to say you could just recover, but you're going to leave all that concrete on that roof. But that's OK, because I just didn't want it on the road. I think that's eventually the conclusion I come to is I realize, oh, I can strap. But my engine is stalled, so I can't activate things the way I want. But I think I get off of it.

Yeah, I release it. And then there we go. And then I just start spinning and starts breaking. It's like your boom does not move that fast. That's crazy. It's like it got spun around and it has to spin back all the times. It's fun around. I was like, I was possessed. But that has been some of my road craft adventures recently it broke and I got the achievement In the process of me just flying around the map as a tornado truck. It was a great time

Great we have filmed two videos in that game One with three of us and one with four of us and just so we're clear I personally would like to film one thousand more videos in that game, one with three of us and one with four of us. And just so we're clear, I personally would like to film one thousand more videos in this game. Yeah, it's great. If and whenever you guys want to. I'm at 3 a.m. I'm up for filming videos in this game. I never want to stop playing this game. It's amazing. It's so much fun. There have been so many great games.

And then Minds Eye also came out. What's Minds Eye? Minds I also came out. Sure. What's Minds I? Minds I was a game. Yeah, it's one of the studio heads of Rockstar left and made their own studio. He'll build a rocket boy. And Minds I is the first game under that umbrella. And it looks like it's supposed to be an open world action game, but it's a linear action game in an open world

that has nothing in it, and it is incredibly broken in so many ways. It's so stupid. What's that game you guys did a video in yesterday? I saw on the disc. Oh, we played the altars, which is a really cool game in which you are like get stranded on a planet and you're trying to escape it essentially by recovering resources on the planet. It looked so interesting.

Single player though? It is single player only. Yeah. I thought that would be so cool though if it had multiplayer and you were just like waiting to be born. That would be cool because there is like a summoning. You have to make a thing called the womb and like you create iterations of you so yeah, you're just waiting play to place the sheep

Mind's eye is I think the worst game I've played this year And it's like very popular worse like it's gotten a lot of attention due to how bad it is Do you think it will get good over time? No, that's the problem. They're like fixing it They're like fixing a lot of the bugs, but it just as a core game is not great to play It's not a ton of fun. What platform is it on? It's on everything. It's a five hundred million dollar budgeted game That is is there a multiplayer? They're gonna add it apparently but I don't it's one of those things where I'd be surprised if they continue to support it. And anyway, if they add it, we got to do it. Oh, we definitely have to do it. I 100 percent. I got all the achievements.

I needed to see everything that was in that thing. Wait. You 100 percent at a game that you didn't. What is the worst game you played this year and you 100 percent of it? I needed to see everything that was in that thing because it is fucking. It's just insane. It's you like it is a completely empty open world. There's nothing you can do. I played a mission where you have to drive five miles.

There's no map. You have a mini map and that's it. You can't open the map. There's no broader. Like you can't see the world map in any way. Do they just don't want you to see how small the map is? No, it's huge. That's the problem. It's a fucking huge map.

And if you go in a direction they don't want, they'll fail the mission on you. So I'm driving a car. And the only time you get a waypoint marker is when you're in your vehicle. So I'm in a vehicle and I'm driving and it gets destroyed and you can't steal random vehicles on the street. And it's also a scenario in the game in which all the cars are gone. So I had to run five miles on foot without being able to see the map and there being no enemies of any kind.

And it was a thing where I'd be running. And then the guy would say, Whoa, where are you going, buddy? That's the wrong way. And I'm just running towards the marker. So then I'd have to turn around and run like four blocks. I spent 30 minutes real time having to run to this location to do the mission. It is horrendously bad.

It is like impressively. I flipped my car. It was on fire and I tried to leave it. It wouldn't let me. And I thought, oh, it's just broken. And then I realized there's a button to flip your car because the car weight physics are really weird. So like you're constantly flipping your vehicle over, then you're pushing X to get it back up.

There was no way to exit your vehicle upside down. So my car is in complete flames and I had to reorient it to be back on its wheels before it would let me leave the vehicle before it exploded. It is so bad. There's a boss fight where it's like the boss gets called and is like kill this person. And instead of killing them, for some reason, they take them to the roof and then you chase them and then you go to fight them and they're like, no, actually, I'm going

to step away and you're going to fight drones instead. And so you're fighting drones for no reason, but you can ping. And I noticed when I pinged, I got a marker for where they hid the like the NPC of the boss. They just put them in a wall and I was looking and like there is no door to where they could have been, but I'm still getting a marker for him. It is a disaster. He was, ah, I could go on and on, but it's it's so impressively bad.

And it's weird in a way that I couldn't resist. I had to keep playing. You unlock free mode by beating the game, but there's nothing to do in the world. That's nuts. That is part of it is like it's sort of build tools. So the idea being that like you can build all of these experiences yourself if you're on PC and you have the PC version of it.

But it's just it's it's incoherent. They outsource the the game creation to you. That's sort of the idea. It has had such a bad launch. I think the like steam highest concurrent is under 2000. So I just I don't I think they're going to drop everything for it. And what's unfortunate is this summer, they're supposed to add Agent 47 for a hitman mission.

And I just don't think that'll happen now. But he'll only be inside a wall. It will only be in a wall. It's just weird things for me of like Lizzie McGuire, the show Lizzie McGuire, the little brother from that show plays an Elon Musk character in this. And it just looks like him. And so it's like I'm playing and then I'm going, that looks like Lizzie McGuire's little brother.

And then it actually is like it's just so it's so bizarre. Is he playing Lizzie McGuire's brother in the game? He is playing Elon Musk, essentially is the thing that he's going for in that game. I can't believe you 100% of this thing. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. You're crazy. Just a heads up for the portion of our audience that does not like video games and doesn't watch our gameplay. We are filming three drafts tomorrow.

It's true, it's true. Lots of drafts on the, lots of non video game related content on the books coming up. Just FYI. I want to make sure the audience knows we're servicing both both sides there. Yes, I'm excited for the drafts tomorrow. I got to do research. Yeah, I haven't been able to do any any real work on them yet. That's going to be tonight.

Yeah, I'll do that tonight. I've started doing a brain video game glitches into real life. I kind of happened unintentionally, but I dropped something the other day and my first instinct was just to T-pose in place. Like my life had gone wrong a little bit and I'm just going to incorporate that more every time I dropped something. You're going to convince somebody that they're in the matrix. Every time I drop something, I'm going to convince somebody that they're in the matrix. I do so much stuff that, that no one sees just cause it makes me giggle.

Is T posing the next, like what outside of T posing, what is something you do? Uh, I once, this kind of a really disturbed Meg. She didn't like it at all, but I once was just awake in the house on my own. Meg was still asleep and I thought, I wonder if I can... I was like, I wonder what it would look like if my legs kidnapped me. And I just, I lay down on the floor as if I was asleep or like unconscious and then I just started walking around, but just from the knees down. So my, so my legs were dragging the rest of my body around the house while I was like completely lying down with my arms like up above my head. And I showed her, I showed her a video of it and she was like,

oh, that's creepy. Are we talking like an Adams family thing with like the hand, but it's your your legs like becoming sentient. Yeah. So imagine imagine you're just lying down completely flat on your back. Okay. And your arms are extended like out behind your head.

So they're okay, wrists down behind you and then just start walking. I like T posing a lot more than this. OK, I'm a big fan of the T posing. I did like a whole lap of the kitchen being dragged by my. Well, you guys don't do that. You guys don't do that. You guys don't kidnap yourself. I don't think I've ever kidnapped myself.

I don't think so. Oh, man. Teach their own. I had a maybe you'll remember this, Jeff. I brought this up. I know he didn't seem to remember. You probably won't. Maybe somebody will. I will never talk about that. That I there this is a very long time ago that I thought that there was like an animal or something like I could hear stomping in like my rooftop.

Like I thought that maybe there was like I know birds moved in there at one point, but I thought that maybe like a raccoon or something. I thought that's how you tricked me into listening to your farts. Was it? I thought that was like that was how we got like we got like Birdchirp. In MP3 or whatever or Birdchirp.Wave. It was just it was like clearly like a movement sound that would happen on the roof.

And it was very odd. I'd never experienced anything like it. And then it stopped at around the same time. The people that lived in the apartment next door moved out. So I thought, oh, maybe it was like sound, because sometimes sound travels in like a weird way here. And they had kids that would run around. So I thought maybe it would just it was that.

And then recently I talked to somebody else that lives in this building, and I learned that it wasn't that. It was a person that lives above me, and I guess they were known in the building. When they would have episodes, they would hop out of their unit and land on top of mine, essentially, and just do sprints.

And that's how they would handle it. They would just sprint across the rooftop. So I had a person, I thought it was like an animal thing, cause it sounded like running, but there was just a person that was doing sprints on my roof. What the fuck kind of episode is that? Do you, do you think that's what Gavin has?

Oh, maybe they moved to Austin. Damn it. Shit. Is it possible that your neighbor was a snake? I gotta check their tongue. But I thought about when it was happening, like getting a cheap Amazon drone and flying it up to see like if I could see anything,

I would have died. I would have had a heart attack if I saw just a person doing sprints at 2 a.m. on my roof. Also a person that's in the mental state that requires them to have an episode where they run across a rooftop at two in the morning, you fly a drone up to that person you are sending them into a Deeper and darker down a spiral that they are you know what I mean?

Really is watching them and yeah, you it's probably safer that you didn't do that sounds like a mission in mind's eye Other drone missions the mind's eye I've found it. I found a video. Oh You found the feet. Let's video. Oh, you found the video. I'm putting it in slack. All right. You can't all describe what I'm watching. So Gavin is on the floor and his thing.

He's in the position he's talked about his leg. He's just. Yeah, it's so I see. So I totally get why she didn't like that. Oh, no, the cats are investigating. They're very good. So if you've ever played Hitman from the waist up, he looks like when you're pulling a body and hit man to like dump them in a garbage can or whatever.

But it's just him propelling himself forward with his legs, taking little steps. Can that go in the video? Is that safe? Yeah, let me do like a better crop on it. Okay. Okay. And I'll get you a better version. I think at the time I was thinking of me, myself and Irene, like what if one of me was unconscious, but the other one wasn't? And that's what I came up with. Crazy. Goddamn. Have you tried doing that from the, could you do it reversed? What does that mean? Push instead of pull? Yeah, like push or pull or maybe do like your arms are trying to kidnap everything else. Well, I could get myself in a headlock and drag myself around.

I don't know if the headlock is necessary, but just the idea of like not only legs, but arms going forward. I don't know. Well, I mean, this is my version. Maybe you should come up with your version. I'm good. I'm good. I'll copy you in the T posing. I like that. Okay. That's fine. I had an idea, Eric, that isn't a funny idea, but I think it might be a fun idea. I don't

know where it would fit in the, in our universe, but I wanted to run it by you specifically. Sounds like a bench in San Francisco. Sorry, continue. I do want to have a bench in every state. I think that's a great idea. I was thinking the other day about how I was reading an article of like, if you were to draft the all time best Yankees team from Yankees players throughout history. So if you just made like, you constructed the best Yankees team from Yankees players throughout history. So if you just made like,

you constructed the best Yankees team possible from every person who's ever played for the Yankees, right? And I was thinking, what if you did that for every team? Like that would be fun to see who the all-time, you got like Shoeless Joe Jackson playing on the White Sox team next to Robin Ventura and you know, in the Big Hurt. You've got Tatis next to Tony Gwynn or whatever on the Padres.

And you create all 30 teams, you can use for other sports, too, football, basketball, whatever. But you you you build out these teams that are the best possible team you could field from the history of that team. And then you put them in a league and sim it and see who the best baseball team of all time is. Yeah, that's a great idea. It's not funny. I don't know that it would make like content. I mean, it's gotta have to make some kind of content, but I just think it would be an interesting thing to do.

I think it's a great idea. I think it's definitely like a deceptive thing too, where it's like who, everyone's gonna have their like, oh yeah, this guy, not that guy, because it's like their specific team. But like, I like that idea. I like that. Like, I bet Nick has a lot of opinions about, you know, the Phillies where I won't.

But like, could you imagine a Spurs team that has Tim Duncan Manu Janobli Victor Wimben Yama David Robinson Tony Parker all on it at the same time like oh Well, I wouldn't like it, you know, I don't like the Spurs but they have such a it's fucking crazy to think about yeah Yeah, I I like that idea. I wonder, we should round that idea into something because I think there's something there, I like that.

Creating like the goat roster for every team and then somehow simming them against each other, I just don't know, I don't know what we do with it. I used to do season sims back, in the old age days I there was a period where I Fucked my hand up and I had to get surgery on it to get my tendons repaired And then I had to go through like six months of physical therapy And so I was in a cast for like three or four months in a row there and the only I only had one hand I could use for gaming

Because it was my my my left hand and my thumb that I had fucked up and so I was useless And so I just made a show called age presents where I just simmed sports constantly and it did okay But I always had so much fun doing it and I would do that I'd sim like who's better the 72 Milwaukee Bucks or the 86 Celtics Oh, I like to see you know we should we should do that like maybe we'll do that at the office Maybe we'll put something together and see what we can do, because I really like that idea. I think it'd be I think it'd be a fun and interesting idea. Yeah, I would do the pettiest sports fan thing of all time.

More in NHL. I would go into be a GM mode and I pick teams I hated and I just dismantled them. I would just give away all of their best assets for dog shit players. I trade away their picks. And then I would just sim away all of their best assets for dogshit players. I trade away their picks and then I would just sim us failing miserably. And that is where I'd get my joy from is just tanking this franchise as an incompetent GM dude that got this job.

It would bring me so much joy. You are a true sports fan. Absolutely. Yeah. I spent more time doing that than doing the reverse of like taking over my favorite franchise and bringing them. Like, that's fun. I've done that a lot. But oh, there's a special type of joy of getting rid of a team's entire assets

and also a believability of like this is what incompetence GMs do. I'm trading away Luka Donchich without any warning, without any team knowing like I'm just this is this is all believable what I'm doing. But oh, I've only experienced it as the fan who has it happen to them. It is so much fun to be the person that is making these decisions. You're like, I'm Nico Harrison. I'm Matt Ishbia. I'm going to destroy this team. Oh, whoopsie. Looks like I traded away everything and we suck

Oh, no, I'm still making all my money No farm on a on a one-legged 35 year old Kevin Durant. Oops. We're gonna get rid of Kevin Durant for next to nothing By the time this is out, it'll be pretty dated. But I think is it Danny Ainge who runs the jazz? Yeah yeah he's the jazz GM now I believe. Taking the they had with the draft was last night at the time of this recording. Taking Ace Bailey when Ace Bailey made it really clear I don't want to go to Utah I don't want to play for the Jazz do not have me clear. I don't want to go to Utah. I don't want to play for the jazz Do not have me go here. I don't want to do this. I won't work out with you

I don't want anything to do with you and then the jazz going that's great. Welcome to the Utah jazz is So fucking funny. It's holy. That's incredible. That's incredible the reddit comments last night I was watching because I was in the car driving home during the draft So I was just keeping up with it on Reddit on like the mega thread and the comments were so fucking funny. They were like ace Bailey go fuck yourself also welcome to the team You're not a big sports guy. Hope you like hope you like dirty soda asshole That is based in suffering and The way that sports is like is there anything that you enjoy that ultimately

is just brings you misery? Maybe Bond movies. Really you think they're more bad Bond movies? Like I said, I was trying to equate like what would be his equivalent of sports fandom because Gavin doesn't really care about sports. Yeah. I don't really know what anyone said for the last five minutes, but I remember always getting excited for the new Bond and it seems like the first Bond movie, the new actor is always great.

And then it's just a steaming pile of sliding downhill until they change. You know, that's kind of how I feel about Mission Impossible movies. I'm always really excited for them. And then I watch it and I go, well, I wasn't three. Are you excited about Denny Velleneu directing the next one or no? I didn't even know. Oh, really? Oh, this is how you found out?

Oh my goodness, yeah. They just announced it. They didn't say yes to that. I'm not interested in stuff until I can watch or use it. Got it. Like I've never enjoyed E3. Like I don't like hearing about stuff that's coming out. I just, let me know when it's ready.

You don't like anticipating things? No, I don't really watch trailers if I could help it. And well, I get that. But like the concept of being anti anticipation is really fun. It's just too much like I'm getting excited when they did that. Elder Scrolls six announcement and more time has passed since that announcement than the time gap between Skyrim and that announcement.

Holy hell. Yeah, like I get what you're saying, but there's no one. It's right. I just I find it the idea of like, I don't like looking forward to things is the statement that you're making now, but I'm I'm kind of with you. I'm I'm with you. Well, there's like there's a nice window of it. Like, like, for example, right now could not be more excited about a Donkey Kong game. I'm, I've, I'm so excited, but it's only like a month away. I don't want to hear about anything that's more than a month away. Really? Yeah, I'm, I'm kind of with you on that though, because I, I am, I could not be more excited for the Donkey Kong game.

Absolutely. But also I don't want to keep thinking about it because I can't play it right now and I'm frustrated that I can't play it right now. See, I have the reverse. Like, I get what you're saying. But for me, it's like the people that made Hitman are making that new James Bond game. And I just read a story about how there is there are rumors that that James Bond game will have like elusive target type mission type things where it's like timed missions that I never considered that I never considered

any live service aspect of that game sort of like Hitman has. And I'm so excited for that possibility. Yeah, I just feel like being excited now doesn't do anything for me. They do. You get the excitement now. Well, it doesn't change anything, does it? Makes and brings joy to my life. That's what I get from it. I'm happy about it.

Gavin rejects your joy. He does. To be honest, I did like go to E3 a bunch a decade ago and I was I was never excited to be there. And I love games. Yeah, I don't. It's definitely I mean, they used to have games on the floor though, right like there were some playable things I feel like yeah Until until 30 minutes into the show and they broke and then there'd be a sign on and they'd say could you come back in?

A little bit later. We're working on fixing the build interesting either he sucked I'm with you. I think it's a better format this way like what we get now. I think is a better Totally agree thing for e3 the the hit it was great for a time And it's just the time sort of passed and I think that's just fine I don't know I just like the only thing I ever took away from them was all the things people would complain about And I just end up just leaving an event where everyone was bitching about something

I feel like e3 died for me when Gary Coleman did He was such a big part of E3 every year. I'd always see him there doing stuff. And he wasn't anymore. Interesting time. I like going back and rewatching E3 press conferences because you know the story of everything. But how it all worked out. Yeah. It's like games that like you forget had a huge presentation

and backing for their reveal and then being like, Oh, nobody ultimately played that or cared about that. Like a bowl. Yes. There is a string I recently rewatched, I think was E3 2015 for Xbox, and it was like a volve scale bound and a fabled multiplayer only game. And it was like three games in a row that never came out. And they were just back to back to back. And it was so funny watching it now.

You're like, oh, none of these happen. None of this stuff works out. And I think just the more I learned about that industry is. I just feel like people would work on a game, it'd be like Crunch Central, and then they'd be cramming to get something out for E3 that would end up not being in the game or like not. Or they couldn't physically couldn't ship that in the game. It's just like, why are we bothering to do this?

This is just like pointless manmade hurdle in game development. Totally. Good promo, though. It is. And it's like a thing where I think the way they do it now is so much healthier for everybody involved in the industry. But I do. I do miss the absurdity of every company having to put on this giant event within like two hours of each other back to back to back to back. Trying to outdo each other. Yes. Fighting to rent spaces in theaters around

San Diego to LA to fucking have their dumb events at. And like, hey, check it out, Cirque du Soleil is here. Now play this video game. Just nice having a bunch of people get together to try to identify like an exotic bird or something like that. The fuck is this thing? Well, now that we're back around to the exotic birds,

this is, if this was Christopher Reeve it'd be it'd be time for Gavin to go around back and put two between its eyes. Put this baby to bed. Thank you for listening to another episode of the regulation podcast. Be on the lookout for some drafts in the near future and some gameplay videos. And maybe maybe we'll all get kidnapped by our legs and film it. You never know here on regulation. We'll see you next time. videos and maybe maybe we'll all get kidnapped by our legs and film it.
