Hello and welcome to another episode of the Regulation Podcast.
This is episode 80.
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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?
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
This is like you agreeing to humans
in the combined animals draft
and going, oh yeah, I'd never do that.
Why was everyone so mad at Nick's choice, by the way?
Oh, God.
It was like some anime thing.
Yeah.
Is it because of the anime?
Like, because of the story?
I think so.
Yeah.
Did you know it was a dog shit picnic?
Yes, I was trying to be funny.
I think you was trolling.
I think it worked.
I thought it was funny.
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.
It's like being mad at Huckleberry Hound.
Like, what are you going to get mad at Huckleberry Hound?
It's ridiculous.
Well, if he was, you know, conjoined with a girl, that would probably combine Huckleberry
Hound and Fred Flintstone.
Popular costume is here.
Huckleberry Flintstone.
Have we put out our social clip of all, all the,
Fred Flintstones, yeah. Yes, yeah. Yeah, that is out. I think it's, it's a wild. It's too many.
That was pretty wild. It's more Fred Flintstones than we even we saw. Crazy. It was crazy.

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.
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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
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
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?
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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...
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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
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.
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,
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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,
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.

I was thinking of other fun stuff we could do,
like end of the year roundups.
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
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...
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?
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
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
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?
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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...
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.
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.
