This is episode 80.
Starting point is 00:00:34 My name is Jeff Ramsey with me. As always, Andrew Pant and Gavin Free, Nick Schwartz, Eric Badoor. You guys had a pretzel. Hello. And we did. You're very excited about your pretzel. It's all you've talked about in Pleasantries. Nick and I, which Nick and I went to Coco's Bavarian.
Starting point is 00:00:49 Best pretzel I've ever had. Nick agreed that it's the best pretzel I've ever had. Gavin was here to hear about it because he was here for pleasantries. Why were you here for pleasantries, Gavin? I just thought I'd get stuck in. I was, I'm currently editing the replays from our doomsday heists, but if I get too in the zone, I just forget all concepts of time. And I was going to be late if I kept going, so I just thought I'd hop in early.
Starting point is 00:01:15 Like a hacker in a CBS show. That's how I imagine it, you in the zone. Yeah. Bump, bump, bump, bump, edit the clip. With less skills. Less keyboard taps, maybe? Oh, way less. We talked about the pretzel and how good it was,
Starting point is 00:01:33 and then Gavin said that the pretzel is the apple of the pastry. What did you say? I think what I mean is the apple is like the... The pretzel is like the apple of the bakery world in that there's pretzels... It's a pretty much bog standard thing, but I've never had a pretzel that's 10 out of 10. I feel like most pretzels start at an eight
Starting point is 00:02:00 and then by the time I'm halfway through I'm at six I don't think a pretzel has what it takes to last all the way through a pretzel Hey Gavin I'm not on your side I thought I was I thought I was on your side I agree with the sentiment that pretzel is like apple because to me a soft pretzel is like an apple pie but there's also a variation of pretzel
Starting point is 00:02:23 where it could be a cold crunchier thing and that to me is like the base apple where it's still very good but it's not the most elevated form of the pretzel that requires being baked fresh that's where I thought you're going with it not that it's just always like a seven it's just like a six out of ten or a seven
Starting point is 00:02:42 you think a ten out of ten pretzel doesn't exist maybe a ten out of ten bite of pretzel exists what if it was in a cubed format no I I don't think it has anything to do of the shape. Oh, pretzel bites. Oh, pretzel bites are good.
Starting point is 00:03:00 Yeah, Gavin, pretzel bites. Yeah, pretzel bites. Last time I ordered popcorn from a movie theater for delivery, I got myself little from pretzel bites, too. What the fuck? The picture of the pretzel that Eric posted in our Slack, or in Discord, rather, looks like a 12 out of 10 pretzel to me. It looks amazing.
Starting point is 00:03:20 It tasted like a 12 out of 10 pretzel, dude. It was so good. I bet a bite of that is phenomenal, but I just don't think pretzel. have stamina. Are you eating the whole thing? Like, we split two pretzels between four people. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:32 Did you dip it? You eating it dry? No, I've dipped. I've eaten a whole pretzel. I've eaten them dry. I feel like I've done all there is to do with pretzels. Give me this pretzel.
Starting point is 00:03:42 Let's see if it's amazing. Give me this pretzel. We've got to have Gavin. The podcast crossover is getting ridiculous. But now we have to have Gavin try a, what was it, Coco's Bavarian? Yeah, Coco's Bavarian. Yeah, they just opened on South Lamar.
Starting point is 00:03:56 I think Gavin should run a food store. I'm not a grocery, I guess, like a rest. No, not even a restaurant, a cart. Let's give you a cart. Gavin runs a food cart called Gavin's 10s. Well, it's just, I think what the type of food it would be, it would make the most sense as a cart. And it's you taking foods that you think are exclusively seven or lower,
Starting point is 00:04:19 can't go above 10, and your modifications to them to make them a 10. Because I bet you you do have a 10 pretzel, just nobody sells it. because it's going to have like Brantston pickle on it or it's like going to have something extremely specific to your preferences. All right.
Starting point is 00:04:33 What if Gavin, if you had a food, a little food cart, what are five 10 out of tens you would immediately think to sell? What are Gavin's top five tens? It's a great question. And it can be any type of food
Starting point is 00:04:47 like, like, to be any type of food. Okay, I'm walking. I'm going down the street. I see, oh, this is a new food cart.
Starting point is 00:04:53 Oh, wow. When did they open up this paella stand? It's crazy. Yeah, there'd be a little bowl of that. There'd probably be some sort of salmon Benedict, like for the breakfast bite. Okay. And there may be some sort of entire roast beef meal.
Starting point is 00:05:13 Like, imagine a hunk of roast beef through a roast potato with a bit of parsnip on it or something, into a horseradish on one fork. Bite of that. Then maybe a little bit of sush. little bites be little like 10 bites I saw a hot dog stand like a block before I'm gonna go back there
Starting point is 00:05:32 I'm gonna go back to thanks though appreciate it you don't eat any of what would you put on your food cart of good bites good bite okay so I'm selling bites
Starting point is 00:05:42 I thought this was just foods well bites are different than like Gavin's angle is bites you can change it however you want I went for bites just because stuff gets
Starting point is 00:05:51 samey otherwise so you just don't think food has stamina, like in general. Yeah. You just think it's not even pretzels. You're just like, you just think food in general like you get tired of it before you're full. It's, you don't have the attention span for food. No, no, here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:06:07 Andrew told me, Andrew told me to get a food truck full of tens. And I think I don't think there's anything that lasts a 10 through its duration. Interesting. There are some stuff that goes from 10 to 9 and that's excellent. How long? Are you taking an hour to eat? Is that why?
Starting point is 00:06:23 No. There's very, There's very few foods, there's very few foods that start lower than they end. Maybe like a cheeseburger. Like, the last bite of a McDonald's cheeseburger is always the best, right? No. I don't know about that. No. What does that mean?
Starting point is 00:06:39 Just thought, the last bite's very good. I don't know. Well, is it because you're enjoying the process of it being over? You're done eating, maybe? It's like the, you feel the accomplishment? Because I feel like McDonald's of like every food, ever. created is the most same from beginning to end, no matter where you go. It is like universally the exact bite. By design. I'm always scared of getting too into food, like by food preferences
Starting point is 00:07:06 on this podcast. It makes me sound like more of a freak than Andrews. Oh, I mean, that's hard to beat. We had a whole DeSani issue. Last episode, it's fine. You got tons of yardage. I think the issue here is if you're finding that all food rankings deteriorate over time during the meal, I think you just need to speed up your eating. Like, don't let it get to an eight. Have it be done before it gets to an eight. Eat it while it's still a 10. I would just stop eating everything halfway through. Like, there's a reason why we move on from... Or eat faster. I don't think speed is going to help them. Like, you don't have an appetizer, a main, and a dessert. Because, But you have that because the palette changes throughout.
Starting point is 00:07:49 I wouldn't just give you the same amount of food as beef and just say eat all the beef really quickly. That wouldn't be as enjoyable as changing up each course. You see that food card over there? That guy told me I could get beef from them, but I had to eat it really quick. Dude, I'll be honest, I don't know what you mean. All I'm saying is that if you think a pretzel starts at a tin and by the time you're done with it, it's an eight. Just eat it faster. No, but the speed has nothing to do with it, Jeff.
Starting point is 00:08:13 I think it just gets bored. It has to have something to do with it. If he's saying it gets less good over time. Let me explain it better, right? I'm having a prawn cocktail, right? Then I'm having a steak. Then I'm having a bit of ice cream. You're saying that I could give you a steak, a steak, and a steak, just eat it quickly.
Starting point is 00:08:32 No. He gets bored of the flavor. It's not a time thing. Your argument is three things. We're talking about one thing. What are you saying? I'm talking about a fucking pretzel, man. We're talking about a pretzel.
Starting point is 00:08:46 you said gets worse over time, all I'm saying is if you find the pretzel to get shittier as you eat it, eat it faster. I have the same problem with mozzarella sticks. The first bite of mozzarella stick is the best bite of a mozzarella stick. If you wait too long at the movie theater, your fourth mozzarella stick is like fucking cardboard, so
Starting point is 00:09:02 you just eat them faster. It's not sweet, it's taste. I get what you're saying, Gavin. But how does the taste deteriorate over time? It's the same taste on the first bite as the fifth bite. That's the point. It's the same. It's like palate fatigue or something. So he's getting bored so he has food
Starting point is 00:09:18 80 ADD. But the speed isn't, it's just like he needs a variety of flavors, what he said. Yeah, and I'm saying that's why we have multiple courses in a meal. We don't just have three of the same things. There's also a limit to how fast he can eat. Eric, can you explain to me what these two are explaining to me? Dude, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:09:34 It started turning into like, why don't you just have like a three-course meal and you're going the pretzel is probably just good and they're going like, yeah, but what if you have many different courses? I don't get it either. What if he eat beef three times in a row. What does that have to do with the beef tasting worse the more you
Starting point is 00:09:50 eat it? I don't get it. I don't, like and I got to be honest with you, I think they're both arguing their own agenda and have little to do with each other's point. No, I'm completely dead on. Gavin and I are both on the same page. I completely get what he's saying. I'm on Andrew's side. Yeah, I'm on Gavin's side in this one. If you had three
Starting point is 00:10:06 beef courses in a row, it's just more. Nobody gets, nobody's talking about three beef courses. Nobody introduced three beef courses. No, no, no, no, no. We're talking about a fucking pretzel. Are you talking about? What is this course thing? We're not talking about the food cart.
Starting point is 00:10:21 We're not talking about the course's thing. He's saying bites. We're talking about individual items. What are you saying? We're saying that Gavin needs it to be a bite. It's regardless of size of the food. It's the taste of it. So if there's more than one variation of the same taste, it doesn't matter, regardless of how big the bite is.
Starting point is 00:10:37 Okay. So what I'm hearing from Gavin is if he buys prawn cocktail, let's just go with one food. He gets a prawn cocktail. and there are five pieces of prawn and you lay them out and one tastes the same as five but Gavin by the time he gets the five doesn't like it as much so now it's only an eight
Starting point is 00:10:55 when it was a 10 on bite one is that what you're saying Andrew? I believe if I understand it correctly yeah he would need a variety of things yeah and then I'll move on to the main but at no point did the variety come into it we were just asking he just said that food deteriorates as you eat it
Starting point is 00:11:13 and no food is as good at the at the end as the start, except for McDonald's for some reason. And at no point did it have anything to do with variety. It didn't talk about how like, oh, I'm getting bored by the fourth bite, so you need to introduce another tin food in. How about that? If you eat five bites of something that's a 10, and then as soon as it starts to taste like an 8,
Starting point is 00:11:33 if you eat three bites of something else and then go back to the other food, does it become a 10 again because you've changed your palate up? I feel like you ended up on my side there. No, I'm asking if that's what you're saying, because that's ludicrous to me. No, that is essentially what he's saying. I think the audience is going to be on our side in this one, Gavin. I think they get it.
Starting point is 00:11:49 You get like a little bit of pallet fatigue as you get through the thing. That's why you change. See, now you're describing this as palate fatigue. That is not how any of this was presented at the beginning. That's exactly how it's presented at the beginning. Eric, help! They're talking, again, the courses thing really threw me, where we're just talking about a pretzel.
Starting point is 00:12:09 And I said we didn't even eat the whole, like, we split two. pretzels between four people. It's, I'm not even talking about eating the whole pretzel. I don't know what to say. Like, this is insane. I'm trying to figure out how I got into Gavin's lane and I completely get it for as long as I have. I don't know how I got here, but everything you're saying makes sense, Gavin.
Starting point is 00:12:26 Especially, you started saying you weren't on his side. No, initially I wasn't. And I disagree with his overall sentiment, but I get what he sent. His sentiment, you disagree that a pretzel's not a 10 and he thinks, you think a pretzel's a 10 and he doesn't. I get that. But Gavin's initial sentiment was that, like, I don't feel like you. can eat a pretzel and enjoy it at the end as much as the beginning.
Starting point is 00:12:46 At no point did we have to then switch in three bites of steak? He was just saying they get shitty over time. No, with the palate fatigue, it's faster for me on a pretzel. Like I get, I'm done with it earlier than I am with other foods. I think that might be why he likes a McDonald's Berker so much because they're so small. They are pretty many. So, Andrew, what food or bites would you have? your food cart. Oh, my number one bite
Starting point is 00:13:15 and my food cart. Let's do like a little mini apple pie. I think a mini apple pie is always a delicious bite. You know what else is really good? A great bite and it's naturally this light. Bacon wrapped water chestnuts. That'd be in the cart. It's a good pick. I get those. Those are great. Water chestnuts? Yeah. You like put them in some sauce and then you wrap them in bacon and oh, so good. Delicious bite.
Starting point is 00:13:43 How many bites though I got? I got five bites. Chicken and fry bite. I don't know if this exists. What I do? Chicken and fry bite. This is what you do. Fry bottom, fry top, piece of chicken in the middle. Probably chicken strip, diced up chicken strip. Oh, a little chip sandwich. Yeah. With a toothpick through all of it. And then you get a little dip. You get a little dip. You can dip it in. My ideal would be honey mustard. What other good bite? A bagel bite. It's a great bite. A bagel bite is a 10 out of 10 bite for you? I think it can be if done in like a gourmet style. I think you can elevate it from what the Pillsbury company is offered.
Starting point is 00:14:24 So pizza? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Because a pizza isn't a bagel. So like a gourmet. What's a food that you can't make a tin out of a gourmet style? Right? Uh, let me think. Most fish things.
Starting point is 00:14:39 Yeah, Ouni. What? Most fish could never be a tin for you. what you're saying, Andrew? Yeah, most fish. Okay. What else isn't at 10? A lot of vegetables
Starting point is 00:14:51 couldn't be a 10 if gourmet. They could be high. They can be like an 8. I've never had a 10 out of 10 vegetable in my life. Interesting. I've had plenty of 8s. Fruit can be 10.
Starting point is 00:15:03 I guess fish really is like, to me, the lower tier. What else is going on with you guys? He said you had a great sleep. I had a pretty great sleep. as well. I was feeling sick last night, but I got to bed early. It's comfy. I had a ridiculous dream that like an alien spaceship had landed into an old childhood house of mine. And I was fighting with people that it was an alien spaceship or not. It was big bait. It's heated. It was
Starting point is 00:15:31 the thing that it was so blatantly, it's, it's my least favorite character trope in genre movies where there's clearly something supernatural or like an alien or something going on and there's that one character that even after seeing the initial thing is like, well, that's, that's nothing. That, that's just, it's ridiculous. Those don't exist. So, I, I'm, I have this dream in the ship.
Starting point is 00:15:54 I put a battery in the ship and it started shaking and I got spooked and I was like, oh, and then it took off confirming it was a spaceship and the thrusters ignited and it went it was doing the thruster noise and I was like, oh my God, and it started flying in the air
Starting point is 00:16:12 and then I woke up and I realized that the thrusters was my C-PAP because I had my mouth open. I think I was so shocked by the shit moving that I was aghast. I was like I opened my mouth and because I had my mouth open my C-Pap air was going and that was what the flying was. So you gasped open the thrusters in the tree? I think I gasped open the thrusters and I was taken aback by them and then I woke up realizing.
Starting point is 00:16:42 It was just me. And that was probably giving your face a little bit of thrust as well as the air was shoe and out of your mouth. I felt like I was the guy in Police Academy. I was doing great VO with my mouth. Steve Gutenberg? No, the other guy. Michael Winslow.
Starting point is 00:16:58 Michael Winslow. Eric said Michael Winslow. I didn't know his name. I woke myself up and realized that I was the spaceship taking off. And then I went back to bed and I continued to fight the aliens. they took on a predator and I got to say I'm not impressed with Arnold Schwarzenegger anymore You just took out the predator
Starting point is 00:17:16 I took out the predator yeah it was really easy They couldn't see people They had a big disadvantage But I took it out no problem I think I'll be in the new new prey or whatever I'll be in a tube based on those movies Are you usually more impressive in your dreams
Starting point is 00:17:32 Oh that's such a fascinating I don't think so I don't think so at all One time I was Spider-Man when I was feeling, I think I talked about this. And I went the other way about it where I just had mask off all the time. I'm like, I'm fucking Spider-Man. I'm letting everybody know.
Starting point is 00:17:48 It's awesome. You just wanted the recognition. Yeah, I was like, I can fly around and climb buildings. This is crazy. I'm not wearing a mask. I'm not protecting my identity. This is great. Did it help you get the ladies in the dream?
Starting point is 00:17:58 That was not a factor at all. I just swung around a little bit, climbed some buildings. But generally, I don't think I am impressed. I think that's probably the most impressive I've ever been in a dream. How about you? No, I have pretty mundane dreams. But it made me think of like, I wonder what the first impressive thing I did in my life was. And I think, I think the most impressed anyone ever was with me when I was younger was that I had an iPod Nano.
Starting point is 00:18:29 That's the impressive thing you did? Yeah, it was, I think I like pre-ordered it or something. It was like the day it came out and people at school were talking about, about, have you seen that new tiny iPod? And I just pulled it out of my pocket. I was like, yeah, I got one. It was like my first iPod. And people were like really impressed with me
Starting point is 00:18:50 and they're not talking to me and stuff. It was brilliant. Do you remember feeling that, like they were, you felt that they were impressed in the moment? Yeah, I think it was one of the first times I'd ever felt that feeling where people were interested. How old do you think you were? Oh, 16, maybe.
Starting point is 00:19:09 The problem with that story is too, is that it's not even him. They were impressed that he had advice. I just had bought an iPod. Yeah. But it gave people interest in me and I remember thinking, oh, this is what it must be like
Starting point is 00:19:23 to be impressive. Can I tell you, I have a very similar story? Yeah, go for it. When I was at the, I got a hypercolors shirt when I was 17, maybe, 16, 17. It was a shirt that changed colors. Oh.
Starting point is 00:19:39 Wow. It was a big deal in the early 90s. It was like a t-shirt Gerpler, yeah. And it was like lime green. It was ugly. It was like lime green and yellow, but it was the only color they had. So, yeah, it was that shirt, actually. It was just mine was yellow.
Starting point is 00:19:55 But it even said, it didn't say global shadow shift or it said like hypercolors on it. But it was kind of like the one the guy's wearing right there, the green and yellow one. And I went to the orthodontist and they were cleaning my teeth and somebody touched it and it turned colors. were like, oh, what is that? And I explained to him what it was. And I remember thinking, this is the first time anyone's ever been, like, impressed with me. And I was so proud that I had that shirt.
Starting point is 00:20:20 And I remember thinking, like, I've never felt like this before. Yeah. It's so funny. You unlocked that memory with me, Gav. Yeah, I think I was 17 before I ever felt, not pride, but that, uh, admiration in any way from another human being. Yeah. And we're not even, we can't even take any of that.
Starting point is 00:20:39 credit. That shut seems like a bad idea that. Wouldn't it be like really bright under your arms? Uh, I would assume so, dude. I don't, I had it for the summer and then I joined the army and then I, hypercolors went away. Probably because of that. I don't know. They weren't a thing anymore. Isn't it a thing like you wash it once and like it stops being hypercolored? Oh no. It's not a heat thing. It's like a touch thing. Yeah, I don't remember what it was. I think it was a heat thing, but at the same time, I think the going through the wash
Starting point is 00:21:08 a couple of times like unhypered it just became color there was no hyper to it. I wonder if we could make a like a regulation hyper shirt. I don't know about that. We can try it seems
Starting point is 00:21:20 weird but we can give it a shot. We kind of did it with a Gerpler but you know just like with ice water. But you can like reuse that. I like the idea of a rainbow shirt where every time you wash it it comes out a different color
Starting point is 00:21:34 and you cycle through and then it's just like gray once you've gone through the entire cycle. So here's what it says on Wikipedia about it. They contained a thermochromic pigment that changed between two colors when one hot and one warm. The shirts were produced with several color changes
Starting point is 00:21:53 beginning in 1991, but the effect was easily and permanently damaged when clothing was washed in hotter than recommended water, ironed, bleached or tumble dried. So it's a single you shirt. Yeah. You can't do anything to it. I wonder what the longest lasting one is.
Starting point is 00:22:15 Someone following the directions exactly. If there's still somebody who has like a 20 plus year old color blast. Maybe they only wear it for an hour after a shower and then take it off. It's their hypercolor shirt. It's like they're around the house shirt that nobody sees. Yeah. Never been washed. I wonder if technology is advanced.
Starting point is 00:22:36 Maybe you can get more life out of them now. For sale, hypercolor, never used. It's been revived as of mid-2020. Oh, wow. Yeah. Several online retailers selling color-changing swim trunks. Weird. It could be good if you commit a crime as a getaway shirt.
Starting point is 00:23:00 If it really changed color, because, like, you could run away and then you could tap your shirt all over and it goes from blue to red. They're like, well, that's not the guy. You can tap your shirt all over. Well, that's what all the guys are doing in the photos. One of those hand-warmer things, you'd just like activate it.
Starting point is 00:23:16 Or maybe the adrenaline of the heist will change the color as you run out the door. The problem is you'd have to go into the heist cool and calm and then lead and get work up. Or you'd have to be worked up during the heist and then figure out how to calm yourself down. No, no, this is good though, because you'll know who on your heist crew
Starting point is 00:23:33 isn't, you know, made for this life because you'll know right away, like, this guy doesn't cut out for this. Now, that's an interesting idea, Eric. Maybe the real use of a hypercolor shirt is to do dry runs with your heist crew to see who's able to maintain, you know, composure and be cool and calm under pressure.
Starting point is 00:23:50 I like that. I like that from like an internal audit standpoint. Like a light detector almost. Yes. T-shirt. It's like a vibe detector. Wow. What about like a high-stakes
Starting point is 00:24:03 poker game where everyone had to wear in the shirt. You could tell if someone's bluffing. Put a high bid in and it starts changing color. I think Chauncey Billups is about to be indicted for that. Oh, man. Basketball joke for you. I love the idea of a shirt that changes color
Starting point is 00:24:17 and we're all trying to figure out what emotion is causing its skin color. Like, are they stressed out? Are they lying? Like, we just try. Maybe the color could reflect what emotion you need to change the color. Like a mood ring? Yeah, like the Pixar.
Starting point is 00:24:31 Like a chameleon. Emotions thing. We're like, if it's red, it's anger. And so if you get real mad, it changes color. You can see a guy walk into a bank and you're like, this guy's about to rob me. I can tell immediately. We could make bono shorts. Boner shorts?
Starting point is 00:24:47 It sounds like they already exist. Oh, yeah, I guess so. With the swim shorts. Because surely your knob gets a bit hotter when you get a semi. It's gotta. This feels like a, like a... like a Disney football movie where they get color change shirts and they trick the other team mid play what would it would they be tricking them oh like they're like they're the white team
Starting point is 00:25:14 playing the blue team and then they're able to switch their jersey to blue and try to like trick the other team into thinking it's a fellow player on their side but it's only when the other team has the ball it can go both ways oh we got an interception why is you running it to our end zone the penis increases in temperature about 1.7 degrees Celsius during erection. I'm sure we could get some sensitive enough shorts for that. Probably. I don't know why we went to boner shorts, though. I don't know why you drove us there.
Starting point is 00:25:47 Well, because the swim shorts. I think that would be a bad idea. Yeah? You think it would be a bad idea? That's what you said? Bono shorts, yeah. Terrible. And I don't know why you pitched them. I just like shitty ideas.

Starting point is 00:26:29 Yeah. I like it. I think, uh, I think, uh, 10% thought it was funny and I think the rest were, uh, traumatized again. Yeah, but they're like, they're anime fans. You don't have to worry about them. Yeah, you're right. It's a cartoon. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:26:40 It's like being mad at Huckleberry Hound. Like, what are you going to get mad at Huckleberry Hound? It's ridiculous.

Starting point is 00:29:37 Please feast responsibly. Do you guys ever have a moment of irrational fear? Yes. Mostly, yeah. Mostly? Like, over a thing that you shouldn't be scared of, like suddenly something becomes incredibly scary. and then it's like, well, I was dumb.
Starting point is 00:29:54 This podcast every week. Yeah, I used to feel that way. I used to feel like the most, I would be so, I would dread the recording and I would be happiest when we were done. Yeah, although now you seem to be cool with it because you said you had a great sleep last night apart from the spaceship. The Predator, yeah, I took out the Predator. It was great.
Starting point is 00:30:14 I guess it's sort of sleep related. I had a weird, I scared myself. And it was very dumb. where I was sitting with my eyes closed in my bed. I was going to have an afternoon nap. It's bright. I don't really have shades that work in my room. That's still a lot of light comes in.
Starting point is 00:30:34 And I was laying there, and it was darker than usual. I closed my eyes. And I was like, oh, this is darker than usual. And then I thought, where are my eyes right now? I don't know where my eyes are. Because my eyes closed. I never thought about where do my eyes go when I close my eyes. and then I had the thought of
Starting point is 00:30:54 since it's so dark what if my eyes are backwards what if my eyes are my head so I thought I'll try to stare at something and I'll feel wherever if my eyes move I'll feel where they're moving from and I'll have an idea of where they're currently oriented
Starting point is 00:31:09 and so I visualized what I would be looking if I had my eyes open what would be in front of me and then I stared at a point in it and I felt like my eyes rolled from the back of my head to the front of my head and it made me very uncomfortable. Ah, so you thought they were actually sat backwards?
Starting point is 00:31:26 Yeah, I thought they were potentially sat backwards with my eyes closed and then I got worried about what if they got stuck there? Then I just couldn't see. How do you think your eyes moved? You could probably just smack yourself
Starting point is 00:31:38 on the side of the head and they'd roll out. Three stooges type style. But aren't the muscles for your eyes on the back of the eyes? Is what, sir? The muscles that control your eyes that are kind of like behind
Starting point is 00:31:49 to the side. of your eyes, like you couldn't turn the backwards. He doesn't know that. I have no idea where the muscles are. There you go. But it was just, it was a funny moment of like, I was genuinely terrified of what if my eyes or my skull right now?
Starting point is 00:32:04 And then how bad it would be if you couldn't flip them. You just thought they'd get stuck backwards. Well, because I've never thought about having to move them. So if you opened your eyelids, it would just be like the optical nerve. It would just, well, I don't think I'd see any of it. I'd see anything, would I? Well, you wouldn't, but other people would see...
Starting point is 00:32:22 Well, you would see your brain. Back of your eye. Because you'd be looking backwards. Oh, wait. So, like, the NeverSoft logo, that's what I'm looking at? That's my only point of reference for eye with nerve. I would... You know, the first thing that popped into my head was Evil Dead 2 when the eye flies across the screen and lands in her mouth and you can see the optic nerves behind it.
Starting point is 00:32:42 Yeah, I mean, all you would see would be darkness there. There's no light in your brain. I'd hope not. I just haven't had one of those moments in a while where I was, there was a genuine, completely terrified what of my eyes got stuck back there? Also, what are my eyes doing? My eyes are closed.
Starting point is 00:32:59 Right about a little bit. They shift around quite a bit. They go up, but they don't go all the way back, typically. Yeah, I think when people say their eyes roll back, it's just because like the pupil's gone higher than the eyelid, but they're still like looking forwards and up. They're not completely 100,000. It was a fear. It was a brief fear I had. And then it was a thing where like, once I opened my eyes of like, that was so stupid.
Starting point is 00:33:26 That was a ridiculous thing to panic about. I feel like when I close my eyes, I can feel them turn up a little bit. Yeah? Yeah. It's something like I never really thought about. Like kind of like they're reclining. Like yeah, almost. Like they kick back. Yeah, exactly. 100% like they're kicking their legs out. Yeah. I love that. Oh, yeah, that makes me so happy, dude. You know, like, you close your eyes and your eyes pop into a little recliner and, like, pop it back. You just see the little eye feet pop up and the little eye hands go behind the eyeball. It's got a little eyeball beer in one hand.
Starting point is 00:34:00 I think if eye tattoos were acceptable, I'd do a little dollar signs on the bottom. Like, if I roll my eyes back. So you get paid. People can know you got money on your mind. You're just like, uh-oh. Yeah. That's a big money idea. recline my eyes, there's just little duller sides.
Starting point is 00:34:18 I get TikToks of people like changing their eye color, which is crazy to me. Nah, you shouldn't mess with your eyes. Don't do it. No, I get nervous around eyes. Like, you mean contact lenses or something more? No, like a more permanent, like surgical type change. Yeah, I saw that there was like a woman who was lying about having heterochromia or something. So she was wearing contacts, but then I think people were getting wise to it. so she changed the color of her eye.
Starting point is 00:34:46 It's bad news for the eyeball. How do you do that? Do you inject ink into the eye? I've only seen the after effect of them getting up from the chair and then revealing. The ridiculous new shade. I don't know the process.
Starting point is 00:35:03 I don't know if anyone's looked into it. Yeah, I think it's some sort of procedure that they won't do in America. Oh. This sounds about right. Yeah. yeah I think so I wonder if it's in turkey imagine if you could get hair
Starting point is 00:35:17 imagine if you knew someone who went to turkey and they came back with different eyes and hair oh you can get eyes hair and teeth all at once whoa you could probably get like beard hair too oh man so you just come back like a different completely different human a completely different person in like a year because it takes a while for like the hair to go I think but you could have dots all over your face for like a year
Starting point is 00:35:40 it'd be pretty exciting Is there a hair dye that changes color when you touch it? Oh, that's fun. Like a thermal hair. But you can't wash your hair? You go to the office with your color change shirt on thinking people will be impressed, but then Steve comes back from Turkey the same day with hair, new eyes, and teeth. He's got color changing teeth, got hyper-colored teeth.
Starting point is 00:36:07 Whoa. Oh, uh-oh, he's drinking a milkshake. Watch him turn blue. I think all that would happen with hair, though, is that people who wore hats and took them off would just have a ring of a different color around their head.
Starting point is 00:36:18 Oh. That's so funny. I didn't even think about cold drinks. In my mind, it was like every time you bite, the pressure would change the color. Oh. I guess I hadn't thought about that.
Starting point is 00:36:31 Chewing gum. A whole other experience. It's like a heat map for your teeth. Like an e-sports heat map? That's pretty cool. I would love an e-sports heat map. map for my teeth which is my least used tooth
Starting point is 00:36:44 I mean the fronts for sure yeah for sure I mean maybe if I ate more apples it would even out that's a good point I got full horse mode I'm like missing a molar kind of like near the back on like the top and so maybe like the tooth right under that is maybe
Starting point is 00:37:02 like my least used tooth I thought you were going to say the tooth that was out was your least used to no that was not getting any more use no shit does that bother you Does, like, food get stuck in there? Are you aware of it when you eat, or are you just totally used to it? I think it's just one of those things that I'm aware of, like, day to day. Like, I'll probably get a fake tooth put in eventually.
Starting point is 00:37:21 Like, I have, like, a crown and then I have, like, one fake, like, permanent tooth. But, like, I'm just missing that. And I was like, I don't care about getting this replaced. It's so far back. It, like, doesn't do anything for me one way or the other. Yeah, I was just wondering because, you know, at some point with my teeth of I may lose a tooth here or there. I mean, I'm not, like, currently in danger of losing any teeth. but I assume it could happen
Starting point is 00:37:41 and I'd be faced with that situation and I just wonder, would it be annoying to miss the tooth? Like, would I be constantly? Million dollars, but you have to get veneers that are like every tooth is like
Starting point is 00:37:53 say like five milt, now two millimeters, two and a half millimeters bigger than it originally was. No. Million dollars? You wouldn't have slightly bigger teeth. Nah,
Starting point is 00:38:03 there's not the worst. Just a little. Just a little. Just a little bit bigger, Jeff. Just end up looking like the mom. Mosque. Don't know. There's Jeff.
Starting point is 00:38:16 Somebody stop him. Also, Eric, I think that they have figured out how to regrow teeth now. So you may hold off on that in a couple years. There might be a commercial option available.
Starting point is 00:38:27 Okay, million dollars, but you have to get a second row of teeth shark style. Dude, I knew a lady in the army that had something to look like that. There's no way. I still think about it sometimes. She just had like too many teeth
Starting point is 00:38:38 and they were tiny and shark. and they look like shark teeth and that's all I can think about and she also had like butthead gums you know so they were no shark teeth and butthead gums
Starting point is 00:38:47 yeah like butthead lips and gums so it was like you just there were a lot it was in your face all the time it was like talking to a great white I got a cardboard cutout tooth like a fake real tooth
Starting point is 00:39:02 where I had a broken tooth and I went to the dentist and they're like yeah we're gonna we're going to have to like we can't salvage this you're going to need to get a replacement tooth essentially but if you fully pull the tooth I guess it adjusts the bone density
Starting point is 00:39:19 in your gums so unless you're willing to immediately essentially get a replacement then it's ideal to keep something there so I have a tooth that from the front looks like a completely normal tooth but it is essentially
Starting point is 00:39:35 just the front of the tooth it's the facade It's the facade. It's like a cardboard cut out in depth. You've got a flat. If you looked at it from a distance, you would think that is just a person, but up close, it is just like a little, it's a fake. It's, it's, there's no depth to it. I'm picturing, I feel like I'm picturing it, but there's no way what I'm picturing is right. You have just like a...
Starting point is 00:39:58 Is there like a little tiny, is a little tiny two by four propping it up? Yeah, is there a sandbag on the back of it? There's a little hole that you can stick your face through if you want to. Fun photo. Uh, it's just, imagine the front part of a tooth with nothing behind it. But, yeah, I'm having trouble. Where in your mouth is this? Top left corner.
Starting point is 00:40:21 So it's not front facing. So it's like behind it incisor? Oh, behind a canine? Yeah, yeah, it's two to the left of a canine, I believe. Two to the left of a canine, that's a molar, isn't it? Okay, maybe between. I don't know. I don't know why I put my finger in my mouth.
Starting point is 00:40:42 You didn't just use your tongue? I was using my tongue. He had to get deep in there. I can't investigate. I don't know if it's just a skill that I either didn't put enough time into or I just don't have it. I can't figure out my teeth with my tongue. I can't count them. Did you just call it a skill?
Starting point is 00:41:01 Well, you can and I can't. Yeah. I think that counts as a skill. Yeah, I'd say it's a skill issue. Jeff, how good are you at checking your teeth with your tongue? I think I could identify 11 out of 12 teeth fruit. Okay, well, blindfold you and you have to count your teeth with your tongue. I think I'm referenced in, is that, I guess that's out by now.
Starting point is 00:41:27 I don't, I don't think I have any difficulty counting my teeth with my tongue, no. How many teeth are you supposed to have on the top row? 16 You'd have 16 Top and bottom, yes Well, I count of 14 That's a problem I'm not missing any
Starting point is 00:41:45 Are you counting the facade? Yeah, I'm counting the facade Of course I am Okay Oh, I think You don't have your wisdom teeth Yeah, you don't have wisdom teeth do you? I do
Starting point is 00:41:56 But they're not exposed Okay, so those would be the other two Yeah Okay And not exposed Oh so I counted it right then At 14 Sounds like you did
Starting point is 00:42:05 Yeah Oh wow, okay All right, I got a skill. You're better than Gavin. Just one more thing you're better than Gavin at. Way to go, man. It would be interesting if we all came up with a skill tree and then filled out what we have and what we don't.
Starting point is 00:42:19 Oh, that's so much fun. I like the skill tree idea a lot. Actually, I had a similar thing. I wanted to ask you guys. And I want you to think about it. You don't have to give an answer now. But we're nearing the end of the year. And I've decided that next year,
Starting point is 00:42:33 I want to become a meat guy. and I want you guys to think about what type of guy you want to be in the next year so instead of resolutions will just be like new guys new guys yeah oh boy what kind of guy do I want to be I want to be someone that could look at a giant chunk of meat and be like okay I can I can trim this into that
Starting point is 00:42:53 I want to understand how meat works like all the cuts all the cuts yeah I like there's something I find satisfying about seeing like those videos of people being like this I save money maybe by the end of 26 you'll be able to process a cow that'd be pretty cool
Starting point is 00:43:12 I don't think I'm gonna do it but I've always I have another one in mind but I've always wanted to be an extreme coupon guy I just think that would be a fun way to go through life just like see just go fucking ham on coupons
Starting point is 00:43:27 and like just trying to save everything you can at every opportunity you know try and get ham coupons Yeah, like I used to watch this show Extreme Couponing And one time I saw a lady take like an $1,100 Grocery Bill and get it down to under 100 bucks
Starting point is 00:43:42 Like, I want to be able to do that. Yeah, it's like there's something really cool About watching the number go down crazy style When it's a big number and then it ends up being a small number And you just go, oh hell yeah, that's pretty cool. But I also saw one of those episodes where in tandem One of the ladies was so spinthrifty that she repaired a stationary bike
Starting point is 00:44:03 and then hooked it up to her bike, her pool pump so that she could run her pool on her pedal power. So she didn't have these electricity on it. So there's a limit to how extreme you want to go on some of these. But I think in reality, I'm going to try to be 2026.
Starting point is 00:44:21 I'm going to try to be a mellow guy. I'm going to try not to get mad anymore about stuff. Like about pretzels and things? Like about pretzs? or about perfect bites or any kind of food bites or about Nick fucking me over in Mario Party or about the, uh, about, uh, me calling the wrong phone number. And by the way, everybody misread that. Everybody was like, oh, no, Jeff has nobody to blame but himself. I wasn't mad at Google or the AI. I was mad at myself because regardless of how I got the information, I'm the one
Starting point is 00:44:55 that listened to 30 minutes of the lady tell me thank you for calling Bank of America. Like all of the blame is on me. I'm not putting it on Google AI. It's not Google AI's fault. I'm a fucking idiot. That's my fault. You made that pretty clear. And then you went on to say you were wearing Emily sunglasses, which
Starting point is 00:45:11 was nothing to do with Google. I don't know how to be more self-effacing than I already am. I try to take the blame at all times. Somebody else was like, I know this comment. Somebody was like, uh, Jeff covered in tattoos. I don't think the sunglasses is what they were knowing. Let me tell you something about Austin, Texas. I am
Starting point is 00:45:29 invisible in Austin, Texas. I am one of 850,000 white bearded dudes with tattoos. We are a dime a dozen. I would say, as someone without a single tattoo, I'm definitely in the minority. I would agree. Yeah. Yeah, that's absolutely true. How many tattoos do you think you have, Jeff? I think just one at this point. They just kind of all run together. If you had to put a number on it. Hundreds, probably. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:45:59 Hundreds. Yeah, I guess the goal with tattoos is a bell curve. You know, it's one of those things that you count for a long time and then at some point you stop thinking about it or caring and then you just don't know. And then you have cover-ups and modifications
Starting point is 00:46:13 and one tattoo turns into, or two tattoos turn into one tattoo, and then you blastovers. And before you know, it just really becomes impossible. It's just more about like total real estate than anything else. I was asking only because I was thinking about if we took, like, let's say you have
Starting point is 00:46:28 125 tattoos and it's, I know, low or whatever. Could Gavin get those as temporary tattoos in one day? Would there be enough time in a day to give Gavin the same amount of tattoos that you have in a temporary form with water? I feel like you have so many. I don't know. I mean, it would be a man. The problem is you're a hairy guy, Gavin, so I feel like you have less real estate.
Starting point is 00:46:51 I would have to shave for sure. because you got we'd have to show some chest shit that would be buried. I'll tell you what, I've been thinking lately about getting a full back piece and then also maybe about doing my neck a little bit. So, give me a chance to figure that out first before we do this, and then
Starting point is 00:47:06 we'll load Gavin up. I just, speaking of, like, being a new guy, the idea of going from zero tattoos to the same amount you have in, like, a one day period is incredible. Is that, do you have to, like, wait for your body to process it? Like,
Starting point is 00:47:22 Can you get a full body tattoo at a day or would you become sick? You can do it, but you would become sick, the endorphins, and it would do a number on you. But you would, I mean, you could physically do it. You'd just be loopy and fucked up and out of it and sore and yeah. People have different pain tolerances, though. Like, I've known people that can sit for like eight to ten hours and be totally fine. At my youngest and most pain tolerant and most enthusiastic about tattoos, I lasted about four and a half hours
Starting point is 00:47:54 before I started to like, you know, start to see, start to start feel, start to feel like your brain's not working right, you know? You just like, yeah. And now as an old man, I'm good for about 30 minutes. Have you ever paused out? No, no, I never have, but I did get a, like, my little tramp stamp
Starting point is 00:48:14 that I have on my back that is a Twin Peaks tattoo. I got that tattoo like laid forward on the chair so like hugging my knees and he just got to talking while the guy was doing it. It's not a long tattoo or anything but we got to talking about Twin Peaks when we were doing it and you know tattoo artists are slow and they have to take a cigarette break
Starting point is 00:48:33 every 30 seconds and so by the time the dude was done I stood up and he goes all right you're done I stood up and I took one step forward and both of my knees gave out because my legs were asleep and I just went down face first and he goes I've never seen that in my life and I was like oh I'm fine I'm fine I'm okay
Starting point is 00:48:49 I'm fine and I just like my knees buckle And they had to help me back up in the chair. I was like maybe 22. Did I talk about recently how I got blood drawn for blood tests and I almost passed out? No. I had like 12 vials because they were doing a little different tests.
Starting point is 00:49:07 And I don't know if it was the amount of blood that they were taken. Because I don't give blood because America doesn't want my dirty beef blood. Yeah. So now when they take a lot of blood for me, I feel like I'm not used to it at all. after like the 12th one, I was like, my vision started to tunnel in and I was like, ooh, oh, I don't know, I'm not feeling good.
Starting point is 00:49:29 And then she just took one more and I was like, oh, shit. I felt myself going sideways. And all I could say to her, all I could think to say was, I'm leaving. Oh my God. And I like slumped down into my elbow onto like the other side of the chair and she gave me a water and I came back. But I was like, well, I guess that must be what it feels like. to die of blood loss. I guess so.
Starting point is 00:49:54 It was so easy to give into it. You got like attacked by a vampire. Yeah. But I was just like, oh, I'm feeling bad. I'm still feeling bad. It's not going away. Oh, it's getting worse. I'm dying.
Starting point is 00:50:06 And I felt like nothing about me was like, I've got to fight through this. I've got a family. I was just like, oh, I'm tired. I'm going to sleep, see ya. You had all the negatives of getting attacked by a vampire without any of the benefits. It's true. on like an empty stomach, had you not eaten yet or anything?
Starting point is 00:50:23 Yeah, yeah. Fasting for the blood test. I had to fast. To be honest, as soon as she gave me a war, I was like, completely fine again. It all came back, my vision untunneled. But that was definitely the closest I've come to fainting. Oh, that's crazy. I haven't had that problem, but I have a new problem with given blood that's really frustrating in that.
Starting point is 00:50:44 Now that I'm, by the way, now that I'm old, I give blood a lot a couple times. Like, it seems like constantly I'm giving blood left and right. But I used to have great, like, like, I could squeeze my arms and my veins would pop out, you know, and I had these huge fucking, I had like good veins. And now as I'm older, I don't, they don't pop out anymore. And I have tattoos, so many tattoos that the last couple times I've given blood, they've had to take it out of my hand because they just can't find veins in my arms and the tattoos help hide them. And so it's sort of a, you know, like hoisted by my own part type situation.
Starting point is 00:51:17 But yeah, so now the last, I think it's maybe two times I've given blood. I've had to give it out of the back of my hand, which sucks. I wonder if I should get tattoos that are only a hindrance to my life. Like tattoo over my veins and tattooed giant circles where my Apple Watch goes so it can't get good reading. It's like all the inconveniences of tattoos. Tattoes are only a hindrance to your life. They're so really. You're just describing tattoos.
Starting point is 00:51:51 Just be able to two circles. I can't even, like, people won't even talk to me about how cool they are on my wrists. It look like shit. Like my fucking dermatologist being like, yeah, it's really hard to check you for cancer because of all your tattoos. You're like, I hadn't thought about that.

Starting point is 00:52:32 We'd love to talk, business. It's the Nissan Black Friday event where you can... Wait, wait, wait. Isn't it like a month long now? Nissan Blackfri Month? Does that work? It's the Nissan Black Fremont event. On remaining 2025 Rogan Centra,
Starting point is 00:52:50 get 0% financing. Plus, get $1,000 Nissan bonus on Kix models. This Black Friday, you've got a whole month to catch all the exclusive offers waiting for you. See your local Nissan dealer or nissan.ca for details. Conditions apply. I was thinking of other fun stuff we could do, like end of the year roundups.
Starting point is 00:53:10 Uh-huh. And I was going to pitch this to the group, right? Okay. What if we totaled all the polls and we figured out who, we figured out like the leaderboards of the entire year of draft post. Yeah, it's really, it's really shocking Gavin wants to see who won all the polls, huh? Yeah. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:53:28 You talking specifically for drafts? Just for drafts. Well, what else do we poll? Do we post other stuff? I'm just trying to, like, generally not nearly as much. I bet you we do have a poll or two that are unrelated to that. I feel like definitely there have been dumb like things I've said on the show
Starting point is 00:53:45 and then I've tweeted a poll about it or something. Yeah, I would just do like Patreon only post-draft polls and then see you one and then maybe there's a if it's me or one though I don't want to pitch that I should get a great card.
Starting point is 00:54:02 And I think whoever wins they should get just like cash and everyone should hand them cash in person and hand it to them. This is what I think we should do because we do we need to do a recap of the summer movie league as well we should record both those things back to back so it's just a double win for you I think we should go into the polls recording of if you won
Starting point is 00:54:22 and then immediately go into the summer movie league recap in which you won and just had it be a celebrate Gavin Day I feel like it was such a shit year for movies that good year for Gavin's though we just let that go by and I feel like there wasn't nearly as much attention on the box office this year. I was locked in. I was, I was
Starting point is 00:54:41 invested. Yeah, I felt like I missed a lot of it. Yeah, I feel like we could have we could have wrapped it up a little bit better in the, in the content for sure, I think. Yeah, I, maybe maybe what we're seeing is 2025, just the year of Gavin. Maybe this was your
Starting point is 00:54:56 year, Gav. Could be your year. Have you thought about that? I've got to start a little food truck. Bites. End the year on a flaming spiral. Have to eat the food as slow as you can. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:55:14 Hey, Gav, have you... Do you ever go on the subreddit? The regulation subreddit? Not really. Sometimes if... Sometimes I'll check the comments on like a live action video. See how they're doing? There was one recently a thread that came through that I thought you in particular might find interesting, if you haven't already heard of it.
Starting point is 00:55:30 It was in response to a Edgar Wright AMA. Ooh. Yeah. And it's a screenshot that says... This is from, uh, looks like Samicham. Are you aware that Gavin Free's nephew's piss might have dripped onto you on a plane? And then Edgar Wright, director responded, I think about it every waking second. It's confirmed.
Starting point is 00:55:58 Wow. What's great about the post is that he signs at EW at the beginning, but I usually read it as EW. I think about it every day. Okay. So hopefully he doesn't know what that. means and is just making a funny response. Hopefully it doesn't actually... I mean,
Starting point is 00:56:14 he's probably been on many a flight in which urine filled the overhead compartments. If I'm somebody as successful as Edgar Wright and I'm doing an AMA and I'm in a situation like this and I get asked a question that's clearly
Starting point is 00:56:29 nonsense, I probably I'd like to think I would answer it in a similar way. In your defense, Gav, I think I would probably, if I had no idea, what this kid was talking about, I'd probably say something similar to, too, because figuring that's what he wants to hear, right? Yeah, I hope, uh, I hope he doesn't know what that person is talking about. I don't think he should be asked any more questions about it. What's great is reading that AMA, it's like the only non-film question asked and answered. Everything, it's like movie, movie, movie, movie, movie, movie,
Starting point is 00:57:00 he's gonna, my only association with him is that my bloody nephew's piss, my God. Hey, an inn is an in, you know? Yeah. No, that's not all. I'm out. Where's the owl? I get, I mean, like, from the perspective of, you are currently not the least liked free by him.
Starting point is 00:57:25 Wow. I guess so. Yeah, I mean, on the free leaderboard, you're probably above the nephew and the parent. Probably the parents, number one, disliked. I'd assume. Yeah. But their last name isn't free, so.
Starting point is 00:57:39 Oh, okay. Well, then you're fucked. I'm sorry. I don't know what point. Yeah. I was really pulling for you there. Well, good try though. It truly is a real shame because short of the dead is in my top five easily.
Starting point is 00:57:50 That's great movie. What? Movies. It could be a lot. Could be zombie movies. Could be Edgar Wright films. I just wanted to get specific on it. It's an appropriate film to be in my top five bites if I had to.
Starting point is 00:58:04 Could be in his top five, uh, movies by directors he wants to piss on. You never know. Movies about bites from the guy who loves them. A lot of biting going on in a zombie film. Never should have told that story. It almost certainly didn't go on him.
Starting point is 00:58:23 Sure it did. It's not how it was presented before. I don't know. Check the tapes on that. Can I see Can I ask you guys a question that I don't think we'll have an answer to? But it popped into my head. So I'm going through watching a bunch of old ninja movies right now.
Starting point is 00:58:46 The ninja movies from my childhood. And they all, actually, I'm mostly just watching the films of this guy's show, Kasugi, who was the star in a lot of these films. And there's a theme to him. It's always like he moves his family from Japan to America and they move to Utah in one movie or they moved to California in one movie. or they moved to Arizona in another movie. And I got to thinking, man,
Starting point is 00:59:05 Shokosugi saw a lot of the U.S. in the mid-80s because he was always moving his family there for his different movies. And that got me thinking, has anyone ever acted in all 50 states? Not in theater, obviously, but in movie and television, has there somebody, is there an actor or actress who has appeared in a production that takes place or is even about, like, each state?
Starting point is 00:59:31 How many movies get filmed in Nebraska? Well, except for the movie, Nebraska. I think we had this conversation to some extent, and I don't think we could even name a movie that took place in every 50 state, never mind being under the career of one person. That would be impressive. Well, it's not just movies, too.
Starting point is 00:59:51 It's television, right? It could be television. Okay. That's true. Still, like that's... Like, do you have to discount travel shows, right? Because that's not, that's not like... Narrative, but it's not...
Starting point is 01:00:00 It's not exactly what you mean. So just to get ahead of that. I think we got to start with Bruce Stern because he's definitely been in Nebraska. And that knocks out Gavin's hurdle. There's definitely a movie in every state. I found a list on IMDB. What's a good Montana movie?
Starting point is 01:00:16 Hold on. Hannah Montana, the movie? Legends of the Fall, 1994 with Brad Pitt and Anthony Hawkins. I don't think he's ever been in Nebraska. Nebraska, the movie Nebraska, of course. New Hampshire has Jumanji Like you just like everywhere has something
Starting point is 01:00:36 New Mexico has the good the bad and the ugly Ohio has heathers North Dakota has Fargo Right but those are where the movies take place Not where they were filmed right? We're talking about where like these people film these movies Are we not? I'm talking about where they take place
Starting point is 01:00:50 Oh okay okay Oh okay I thought it was being filmed there Yeah I thought it was the filmed I didn't realize Okay that expands it greatly Yeah Wait, that expands it? Wouldn't that be harder?
Starting point is 01:01:03 No, I feel like it's way easier for a movie to be set in a place than it to be filmed in that place. Yeah. I mean, I think it's interesting either way. Yeah. I mean, I feel like it's kind of impressive for an actor to be in
Starting point is 01:01:18 50 things sometimes. Oh, sure. It's an incredible number. Fuck, I saw somebody, who did I look up the other day that had been in more stuff than I thought possible. Ah, it's gone. Matt Damon has a very large catalog
Starting point is 01:01:35 in a way that you don't necessarily think about, but he's just, he had a run of like two movies a year for a long time. That guy's did a lot of stuff. They were all in Boston, though. It's true. What is Martin Sheen's brother's name, Bill Estevez? I have no idea.
Starting point is 01:01:52 Is that his name? Joe. Joe Estevez. Joe Estvez. Joe Estevez was in a lot of shit, right? Let me see. I'm sure there's like some TV show where it's like FBI agents travel to like everywhere, right?
Starting point is 01:02:06 Oh, X-Files. Oh, X-Files. Dude, X-Files is a pretty good one. That might be... It might be Jillian Anderson. Because she was in every season. It's funny when you have a city like Vancouver where it's used to be like New York or Chicago.
Starting point is 01:02:21 Like it is constantly filmed in as a different place. But I can't think of many movies that are just sad. in Vancouver. MVP's the only one I could think of in which they travel to Vancouver and it is Vancouver as Vancouver. Is Vancouver the most hidden city? I think it might be for movies. Like they were sort of hide the fact that they're in Vancouver. Yeah, it's like always somewhere else.
Starting point is 01:02:45 That's interesting. When were, when was the last ninja? Last week. What? Just not making them. The movie? No, like when did they start? When do they stop knocking about?
Starting point is 01:02:58 God, that's the point of every one of these movies I'm watching right now. When did Beverly Hills Ninja come out? I think that may have been the last one. I think they died out during when feudal to Japan died out. Okay. But people still practice the art of ninjitsu, obviously. You never see it on the drop down for occupation. That is true.
Starting point is 01:03:22 It's so difficult to get into because every person looking to hire. Ninja demands at least five years of experience, and I just can't, there's no entry point. It's possible to get a job with. So what were they replaced by? Just people with guns? I get, the gun, a gun is to a ninja, what one of those self-checkout machines is to a grocery store. The times they are a changing. I wonder if that was overlap, when ninjas just were using guns for a bit.
Starting point is 01:04:04 Well, I'll say Shokosugi definitely avoid using guns, if at all possible, in his movies. It's like the rock in the rundown. Bad things happen on Shokas. It's true. It's true. I bought the rundown in 4K just because
Starting point is 01:04:19 Andrew loves it so much. Oh, it's great. I haven't seen it yet, though. He takes out the whole offensive line. I just don't know when you watch that movie Like I'm looking at all my movies Any day Any day
Starting point is 01:04:30 Any day? Should I watch it today? What are you doing in 10 minutes? Watching I don't think I could say Because I don't know if it's out yet But not the rundown Right
Starting point is 01:04:42 Watching some wheel of decades That's what we're doing next I forgot Absolutely Speaking of which we should probably get to it I feel like we We beat everything we could out of this episode, so it's probably time to throw it in the old episode
Starting point is 01:05:00 Grave and bury it with a six feet of dirt. I thought it was a delicious episode. I had a lot of good bites. What if we did put every episode on an individual USB stick and then make tiny little graves in your backyard, Jeff? Well, let's not do it in my
Starting point is 01:05:18 backyard because I rent. And that would be weird in eight months or whatever for the new guy. And then also it has fake grass, so it would be hard to break through. But I do like the idea, and I think that maybe we could do it in a permanent. Like, maybe we'll do it in Eric's backyard. That feels good. Yeah, it'd be nice to see a visual representation of our work when looking out of a window.
Starting point is 01:05:38 I think instead of grave, it should be like a banner raising. When a team wins a championship or like a title of some kind, and they raise the banner, like a number and then the flash drive below it. Are we lowering the previous banner? Or are we... No, I think you gotta add a banner every time so it gets dumber as the show progresses. Our... Yeah, the ceiling of our stadium
Starting point is 01:06:00 is gonna be pretty fucking full. Yeah. What if we hang something from the ceiling in the office for every episode? A little ribbon with the USB on it to the point where you...
Starting point is 01:06:09 To walk to your desk, you bang your head 53 times. Well, I think there's definitely something there for us to figure out. I'm not sure if that's the idea we'll land on. But I bet we'll figure something out. And you, uh, you're free. You can go now about the rest of your day. You survived this podcast. Uh, thank you for listening. We really appreciate it. See you here next week.
Starting point is 01:06:33 When we do this all over again and then we put it on a USB stick and then we hang it from a ceiling or bury it. Maybe throw it in the ocean. I'm not sure. We'll, uh, we'll take it out and give it a burial. Let's see. Talk to you next time. Bye. Bye now. Bye.
