This is sausage talk number four, I believe. Yeah, it is.
Starting point is 00:00:38 My name is Jeff Ramsey, as always, the other four. Speaking of four sausages, Eric, Gavin, Andrew, and Nick. We decided to have a sausage talk. I think Gavin, you actually called sausage on this one. I think it was a good sausage call. I agree. He threw the sausage flag down. Oh, maybe we need a sausage flag. go with the potato flag.
Starting point is 00:01:02 Just the sausage you can bung and discord and it just ends the conversation. Save it for the sausage. I have a sausage related question in a general sense. Okay. How many sausages are in a pack of sausages? Typically.
Starting point is 00:01:16 12? 12? No, eight. Yeah, I would think eight. I would think eight. I think once we hit our nine sausage talk, that's season two. I think we bundle the first eight.
Starting point is 00:01:28 That's a pack. That's season one. I have seasonal sausages? I think so. I like a nice pack. We can't have too many sausages in the pack. It would get all crammed and get squished. What if there was a store that was called Baker's Dozen
Starting point is 00:01:45 and it just sold stuff in 13s? That was its schick. Interesting. Is there, because people always complain that hot dog buns and hot dogs don't sell in equal amounts, like you get more buns than dogs. Is there other foods like that? And if so, that could be a great gimmick for a store.
Starting point is 00:02:06 A store that only sells equal items of everything you need. Ooh. But I can't think of another example, really, of the hot dog, hot dog bun. Yeah, I was going to say, I think most things that I get are in the equal amount of things that I need, like typically.
Starting point is 00:02:21 I think unfortunately the hot dog, hot dog bun might be the only example. is that well I guess maybe burger to burger bun that probably doesn't line up but you don't hear about that nearly as much I think more people make patties than buy patties probably yeah I agree yeah I guess and then you could theoretically do other things with that meat in a way that you can't with a hot dog you can do a lot with that meat if you want to yeah yeah that's a good point yeah what you've been doing with your meat Jeff oh dude I've been doing a lot with my meat thank you for asking you know I bought that.
Starting point is 00:02:55 I just want a meat check. We've been doing ankle checks. I think it's time we start doing meat checks. I love it. I love that we're doing meat checks. I bought that Ninja wood-fired electric grill, you know? So I've been doing the... Oh, you've been doing the grill.
Starting point is 00:03:08 I did some lemon pepper chicken the other night. It was all right. It was thin sliced, so it cooked fast. I don't feel like I have a skillet to do steak. But I should look into the ninja thing, I guess maybe. I don't know. Yeah, steak. Steak is good.
Starting point is 00:03:20 Ninja doesn't just chop stuff anymore. They do other stuff? Yeah, dude. I bought like the 2005 version of the electric George Foreman Grill but it's a ninja and it's like a grill
Starting point is 00:03:32 it's a smoker it's an air fryer all of one and it's outside if we have to throw a regulation flag in the middle of a sausage talk is this a fucking episode what is going on? The last episode was very sausage heavy
Starting point is 00:03:46 and this sausage is very episode heavy I'm gonna be honest I don't know I truly I don't know what a sausage talk is we've done however many of these still don't really get it. You're the question guy. What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:03:58 What do you mean? You gather the sausage meat. No, I understand. I gather the sausage meat for the thing. And I understand the idea of like production talk, but I just, I never fully know. What, to what extent? It sounds like you understand the podcast then. You just described sausage talk.
Starting point is 00:04:15 He nailed it. Yeah, I'm sorry. I got off on a tangent because Andrew asked me about my grill. And I'm really into that grill. I made some fucking asparagus. night that would blow your dick out of your own asses again. Would you say you're ready to take the mantle of Grillmaster again? Yeah, I'm getting up there. I'm getting pretty close to it for sure. But I believe Gavin called sausage because recently we went for our yearly boat outing.
Starting point is 00:04:43 And as we do most times on the boat, we came up with a bunch of dumb ideas and we compiled them all and we were going to dive into them, drafts and what have you, on episode. But it seemed like so much that it would probably dominate the episode and it felt like it made more sense to do over here on a sausage talk as Andrew so eloquently described the purpose of earlier and Eric said he's got a sausage or two
Starting point is 00:05:05 he wants to throw onto the pile Andrew hopefully you've got one or two you want to cook up I know we have some questions as well yeah I got the questions so we're going through these ideas and it's the thought like we're going to gladiator style thumbs up thumbs down figure it out or like what what's the
Starting point is 00:05:21 overall goal I think we have to just pitch them so that we all are aware of them in the universe and then hopefully they will find their way into the bit barrel. Speaking of the bit barrel an audience member gave me a suggestion that I've been holding on to because I wanted to talk about in sausage
Starting point is 00:05:37 talk. I felt like this is the best thing. I think it's a brilliant idea. Hit us with it. Someone named, I wrote his name down, their name down. Kelsmont on my stream the other day said we should have a go to second barrel option. Like one of the pieces of paper should be go to second
Starting point is 00:05:53 barrel and then we have a second smaller barrel. I don't know what's in that barrel, but I cannot wait to find out. I like the idea of having like a cup, one of the cupboards just has the second barrel in it. And we have to, when it very rarely has to be wheeled out, it's like dusty and she. Yeah, it's a great idea. What of the second barrel is just a barrel that's a fire pit. And if you got to go to second barrel, you then have to pull something from the bit barrel and whatever gets pulled goes into the pit and it's gone. You lose the bit. You burn the bit. So it's like a burn barrel?
Starting point is 00:06:25 It's like a burn barrel for bits. But if you pull to go to second barrel, that means a bit is getting killed. Yeah, that's a crazy idea. I love that. And it might be our favorite bit. It might be a thing we're pumped about, but it fucking is gone. Yeah, it was destiny. That's like the most destructive thing we've ever pitched here on this show.
Starting point is 00:06:43 I really like that. It's like the way that the moon, not moon draft, is cursed. Maybe this is like, oh, you know what? This would have been cursed. We had to get rid of it. This is the universe. But what if it's a really good. bit and it's heading for the burn barrel?
Starting point is 00:06:55 What if everyone has an angel barrel that they can save? I think if it was a really good bit and it was in the bit barrel, it wasn't that good of a bit. Oh wow. So it's like a shit bit barrel. Here's my, the only way that you can persuade me as if the angel barrel that you're describing is a burnable item
Starting point is 00:07:16 that you have to then replace for the burn barrel. So you burn that and it's gone. It's a physical like you're still. Like you're still, something always needs to be burned when you go to the second barrel. But you can intervene and put your angel save or whatever in the burn barrel instead. And then how do we incorporate shot in the dark into this? Here, I can get Eric on board really quickly. We're going to have the angel save be a little ratty boys that you could throw into the fire.
Starting point is 00:07:44 We're never going to be able to hang on to them. They're all going in the fire day one. So it's like save a bit burn a rat sort of swap. Save a bit, burn a rat. I like it. There you go. I love it. Now,
Starting point is 00:07:58 as I was, go to second barrel in the bit barrel. All right, so we've decided go to second barrel is a thing. Okay, good. Yeah. Well, thank you again, Kelsmont, for that recommendation. I thought that was fucking awesome. Great suggestion.
Starting point is 00:08:18 Let me try to go to where the drafts were. Okay. So, God damn, I have so many other dumb ideas here, too. Okay, the first idea I have here is a fads draft. We came up with it on the boat, fads draft, fads from your childhood, you know, like pegging your jeans or in Gavin's case, just getting paid. Yeah, I don't. Like, that was the example, and that really, I think half the audience just went, huh? Hold on, so.
Starting point is 00:08:47 Pegging your jeans? You could have said pogs. Could have said pogs. Could have said pogs. I didn't have, the pogs weren't a trend when I was going on it. This. You do that to your jeans? There you go, pegging in jeans. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:01 It's the shame you can't see the strap on further up the picture. Oh, boy. Oh, Christ, that's great, Gab. That's great, Gap. So anyway, getting pegged as an example, as a fad. So that would be your first pick. Getting pegged. Yeah, getting pegged.
Starting point is 00:09:31 Then jelly bracelets, probably after that. But, you know, so a fads draft, just like everybody drafts fads from their life or the, that they experienced or whatever comes to mind. That seems like a no-brainer. Here's my gladiator vote. Okay, good. That can go in the bit barrel, I feel like.
Starting point is 00:09:49 Yeah. I put that in the bit barrel. Are you marking it or should I be marking it? You mark it. Okay. Well, wait. This isn't going in the bit barrel, is it? Because this is a drag.
Starting point is 00:10:00 No, this is something we can just do. I'm just going to work it. I know you can go back to it. Jeff is flying by the seat of his pants, but you have to allow him to do it so we can do this. I think it's only if we're like three months down the line and we've forgotten about this, does it end up in the bit barrel? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:15 And I also think we should maybe have a little evening with the Falcons. just like when we made the summer playlist, which we tested out this weekend. Oh, that's a great idea. And we'll have them help us with the old dropped bits for the barrel. Oh, that's a great idea. It's a great idea. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:10:31 As I'm looking at ideas like make mustard to go in the deviled egg off, which is two ideas and one. Are these just ideas that you have somewhere else and not on the list of regulation idea bank? No, no, no. I have the idea of the stuff that we're talking about, the drafts from the boat. I'm just looking up and I see the deviled egg off on a different list.
Starting point is 00:10:52 And I was like, oh, yeah, we got to do the deviled egg off. I was just using it as an example. Next one. This was Barbara's idea. This was Eric's smallwife's idea. We call it Andrew's list. Andrew creates a bunch of prompts of questions that need to be answered. All of the questions go into a hat or a bit barrel where we randomly pull like three
Starting point is 00:11:17 questions out. And then through the course of a podcast or let's play recording, our job is to get the answer to these secret questions from the other members we're recording with without them figuring out that that's what we're asking. I like it. Did I explain that well, Eric? You explained it perfectly. Oh, you didn't ask me. Well, it's Eric's wife's idea and he was there when she pitched it. So I just wanted to, I was asking him if I spent it well. I think you did great.
Starting point is 00:11:47 Okay. Eric, are you doing something else? Nope. I am. I'm waiting. I'm waiting for it to wrap up because Jeff was asking me. Andrew wanted to answer. And I'm just checking on what's going on. It's tough when there's no immediate feedback. Huh? Yeah, that was a good Gavin impression by you. Gavin, that's what it's like. That's our end. That's what we hear. Just nothing. I don't know why when you put out a question to the group and no one says anything, you come straight for me.
Starting point is 00:12:15 because you never do even when it's at you that's why because you're the one that I'm most worried about not saying something not speaking up in the moment and having something
Starting point is 00:12:24 to say about it later so I just want to make sure that I get buy in at that point because that's when we're discussing it I feel like it doesn't happen in person because in person
Starting point is 00:12:33 I often would put my hand like up by my chin and sort of look up as I'm thinking but you can't see that on this question do you want it you should turn on your
Starting point is 00:12:41 camera I suppose oh yeah I don't know I don't always have an answer So, 45 milliseconds after you stopped talking. Let me think about it. Okay, not 45 milliseconds. There was an example today in the meeting where there is something talked about with all of you.
Starting point is 00:12:55 And every other person said yes, except you until someone specifically asked you. To be honest, if three people have said yes, then that's what's happening. Exactly. Well, but that's not. That's true. I mean, majority rules. It's not how that works if you need to be a thing. He got you to agree with them for a second there.
Starting point is 00:13:15 If you want your fourth okay, I can throw it in, but it's happening. I always want the okay from you if you're okay with it because you're dreaming if you think you're dreaming if you think that it's not going to be a thing where if you don't want to do it or you have a problem with it or whatever, that it's not going to be a thing we have to figure out later. And I don't mind doing that, but it's just that we're in the middle of talking about it then.
Starting point is 00:13:37 So I'm trying to just get an answer from you at that point. If I'm in a dinner party and everybody but you says yes, I'm not going to assume that you're also coming to the dinner party. I can't just put a plate down and be like, well, everyone said, yes, it's happening. Gavin's going to be here. It's crazy. Okay, so it's kind of like an RSVP to a wedding kind of thing.
Starting point is 00:14:00 It's just a basic communication thing, I feel like. I don't get the RSVP. But you need someone to say yes or no, though, right? If they're invited? I think if there's an activity and you're expecting a reply by that person. Yeah, like a wedding? sure that's crazy man
Starting point is 00:14:22 are you talking about Jack so the way I the way I see it working because it has to be it has to be funneled into a game in some way right which means there has to be stakes so I'm going to take an example
Starting point is 00:14:33 Andrews one of Andrews questions is find out the name of Gavin's first girlfriend and so then you have to figure out how to get that question answered in the process of recording episode 68 of the podcast or whatever. If Gavin says, hey, wait a minute, are you asking a question from the hat? And he catches you, that's a strike against you. But if he calls a strike
Starting point is 00:14:53 and you're like, no, I just was really curious about your first girlfriend's name. And that's a strike against him. So you got to be careful with your strikes. It's such a good idea to get us back to like a paranoid era that is, like you never know where it's coming. And so you're asking false flag questions because you want to trip people up. Yeah. But you also, yeah, you know what I mean? And then so say you get like two or three questions, everybody pulled. then the first person to get all three answers wins the meta game. And that's what that content is called Andrew's List. If everybody's okay with that,
Starting point is 00:15:22 then Eric can put it on the board. I'm putting it on the board right now. I feel like we have to have a better name than Andrew's List. Because when you said Andrews List, I didn't remember immediately what it was. I mean, is it for everyone or just for Andrew? We talked about having Andrew come up with all the prompts,
Starting point is 00:15:35 but it could be Gracie too that does it. So they're like questions? Yeah. So it would be, it's, you're just trying to, you give everyone a different, question to try to get an answer to during the uh during like this recording and it has to be something that's like a little off the wall but about someone like i think i think a little bit like
Starting point is 00:15:59 personal without being too too personal and uh we're just trying to get that information for you uh in that recording and whoever does it wins without being caught yeah without getting caught yeah if andrew asked me how i got started in slow mo i'm going to be real suspicion But it could also be Gracie's list if Andrew wants to play. It doesn't matter to me. It's just like the genesis, I think that the point is just the game. Right, right, right. No, I'm just thinking of trying to think of a better name that's not indicative of one person
Starting point is 00:16:28 because I think that throws it. If it's like questions from a hat, you know. So I'm trying to, I'm trying to get a piece of information stated by one of you to another person, essentially. Like I'm trying to prompt an answer. Is that what I'm doing? You are secretly giving each of us a prompt that we are trying to get the answer to. So in Jeff's example, say you give me the question of, hey, Eric, I need you to find out the name of Gavin's first girlfriend.
Starting point is 00:16:57 So, and we all, at that same time, you've given the other three guys a different thing that doesn't, maybe it doesn't have to do with Gavin. Maybe it's Nick trying to get something for me or Gavin trying to get something from Jeff, whatever. The number, my little league number or whatever, yeah. I, so I wasn't got it. I was thinking initially that these were just questions I had about the universe. See, that's why I think Andrew's list is a tough name. Right, right. Because Andrew has a lot of questions about the universe.
Starting point is 00:17:23 I do. And he started, and he began making a list with some answers, but mostly questions. Yes. That's true. But would you rather play, Andrew or do the prompts? I love doing the prompts. Andrew's answers are questions, which makes it a little harder. I was just wondering if the concept,
Starting point is 00:17:41 of lightning doesn't strike twice was that all related to Benjamin Franklin because he's the most famous old person that I can think of that was struck by lightning. The most famous old person? Well, he's the oldest known person lightning strike
Starting point is 00:17:57 that I'm aware of. I'm not aware of any other like known celebrities or like known figures that were struck by lightning. My favorite old person celebrity is Ben Franklin. Oh, he's not my favorite. I don't have real, I don't know a lot about the man outside of the key and electricity and all that.
Starting point is 00:18:15 But I was just curious if like, oh, well, he lived the rest of his life without getting shocked again must not happen twice. Where did that come from? Where did lightning? Does it strike twice? Like, there must have been something they referenced. Did nobody just know anyone that got struck by lightning twice? Someone must have got struck. So I'm just checking.
Starting point is 00:18:34 So is this an episode or no? It's a question that I was thinking of. I was just giving an example of when you, when I initially heard this idea of what questions I would put out there. That's one of them had, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, these have to be, I think, a little bit more pointed or more directed. So we need to, I think we just need a better name for it.
Starting point is 00:18:53 I think that's it. It sounds like two different shows. Right. What Andrew's talking about is a different thing, and that's why he needed clarification. I get it now. Gavin, do you get it now? Yeah, I just really want to play Andrew's version of Andrews list.
Starting point is 00:19:09 Okay, I'm sending out, Gavin, you got homework. Who is the first famous person that get shot by lightning? But he wasn't old when he got struck by lightning, was he? No, it wasn't about him being old. It was about the fact that so much time has passed since then. Oh, so someone from the past is old. Yes. I mean, in the, and like, if you look at the existence of the world linearly, he's the first
Starting point is 00:19:34 celebrity that I'm aware of that was struck by lightning. So, like, Jesus was old, even though he died in his third? or whatever. I guess if you put it in the context of average life expectancy at that time, yeah. I wasn't thinking that way. That's true. I think the average life expectancy was only around 30 back then. Eric just posted a fantastic suggestion for the game. We're not currently playing, but yes, the other game that we were talking about. I want to call it regulation spy. I think that's great. Okay. Great name. Cool. I love it. Okay. Calling Ben Franklin famous is like blowing my mind. I don't know. He's pretty good. No, no. He's very famous. It's very famous. It's, it's very famous. It's
Starting point is 00:20:09 It's just, it's just, it's just in an assassin's creed. Like, you keep going to, like, this celebrity, and it's, like, really spinning my head up. Like, I don't get, I guess I just never considered him a celebrity, but I suppose he is. I mean, it's a sleb. That was probably gossip about him. If TMZ was back then, he'd be all over it. Him and Einstein, fucking crazy. Need the Ben Franklin blind items.
Starting point is 00:20:34 Okay. So there, so Regulation Spy, locked in. We're good. I think that's a thumbs up. Okay. the next one is this is my personal favorite out of all of them I think I know what it is
Starting point is 00:20:49 I'm getting ready it might be quick but it's going to be good it is the what number am I thinking of draft I voted I think of I think of a number and then you have we'd snake draft you try to guess what number I'm thinking of
Starting point is 00:21:07 so we have a six we have what A 20 in infinite chance of getting this right. A 20 out of infinity. Somebody will get closest. Will they? Yeah, of course. Everybody's got five chances. Meg heard this idea on the boat and just thought it was the dumbest thing she's ever heard.
Starting point is 00:21:26 And then she suggested a follow-up draft called, what? Drafting anything? Just what do you know? I really like the idea. I don't know if it needs to be a draft. What number am I thinking of, Tram? But I think it's really, I think, I think a tournament would be fun. Okay, I could be, I can be into that.
Starting point is 00:21:48 Well, do you, do we have a range, Jeff, of what you're thinking as far as the number goes? Somewhere between one and infinity. Yeah, I think it's got to be, yeah, I think it has to be positive numbers all, like, all are on the table. Every number? But I don't think that high. So, you know, you know, I'm not going in the millions. I'm probably going to be somewhere in the thousands. Wait, you're going to set a ceiling of infinity
Starting point is 00:22:11 and not hit up the millions. Yeah, it's too much to keep up with. I'm a simple man. I think there's a great... Just because I have a... Just because I like a high ceiling doesn't mean I want to touch it. That's fair.
Starting point is 00:22:26 Sometimes you just want to look. I think that this should reverse in a way where it also becomes a burden to Jeff. I think we all need to be burdened by this. That's why I like the idea of... All of this is a burden to me, Andrew, but... I don't want a scenario where anybody kind of wins we're doing that thing
Starting point is 00:22:45 and I assume we're going to put a cap on how long it can go but we're doing the mile high club you can't leave until you complete it but I assume that it's going to be like well within five hours or whatever it's just you lose wait whoa whoa why five hours he's he's just throwing a number out I just assume that there will be a cap that like
Starting point is 00:23:06 you, you, there is an end to this, even if you can't beat it. I think the end is that you, you, you end the level. Well, yeah, but I think that there's a huge advantage for some of us that, that it's not all shared. Like, I think it's unfair to Eric and Nick who have never tried it. I've done it two or three times, you and Jeff have both done it. Nick's still going to this fair. Nick and Eric are great at games. It's just, I feel, I don't know, bad having a not like end point for them if they can't complete it. But what if they're like 30 hours in? that's a that's that's a funny face yeah but they're not going to be dad that just becomes a
Starting point is 00:23:42 mr beast video at that point nick as kids eric is not going to be playing call duty for 30 hours to try to beat it like there will be a natural breaking point for these people so i think it's better instead of having them have to quit just have an end and say hey this will end after like we're up against the clock like we have to do it in a certain time but anyone else can leave whenever they're done It's just it creates a scenario in which it's not solely on the person and is like it isn't understood. You're spending a ridiculous amount of time. Now, maybe you can make the argument that they have to go back and try again, that they can't leave it, but like there's sessions essentially. So let's say Nick doesn't beat it within six hours, then he stops and then we pick it up another time and it's just Nick and he has to do it again.
Starting point is 00:24:30 He has six more hours to do it and he can't get out of that cycle until. What if the show is called clock out, but you have to clock in for 10 hour shifts before you clock out? 10 hour shifts. I mean, what? God. What's the normal workday length? Eight.
Starting point is 00:24:46 Eight working hours. Yeah. Why is it? Hey, why is that? Why is that unregulation takes wants to take out CEOs is now demanding everyone has a 10 hour work day. I didn't know anything. I used to work. Uh, yeah, I guess, like, waitrose and film sets were much longer than that.
Starting point is 00:25:10 Yeah, film sets are way longer than that, absolutely. But eight is, I think, the traditional, I think eight hours is fair with a lunch. You could take a lunch. You did 11 hours at a grocery store? Yeah, but one hour was lunch. But it'd be 10 paid. Yeah, that was bullshit. Why did I do that for some?
Starting point is 00:25:28 I don't know. You're the one who just gave it to us. That's wild. I just thought that was the standard length of a lot. I think maybe like manual labor. I think if we were like day labor guys, we might do 10. I'll do 10. Yeah, I would do 10. I could do 10 right now.
Starting point is 00:25:44 Here's the thing. The three of us that are all feeling good about 10 also are 100% confident. We're not spending 10 hours doing it. No, yeah, you're definitely not going the full 10. Oh, I don't feel very confident in my abilities whatsoever. I thought that was a nightmare that I drugged myself along and I was way younger and had better hand-eye coordination than. Yeah, I was in my 20s and it took forever. Let's lock in an hour then right now.
Starting point is 00:26:07 I'm happy with whatever you guys want to say. I just think this new mature Andrew is coming out of nowhere, and I love it. He's like putting an end on the bit. I love this. It just is like, it needs to have an end. And then this will circle back into the number thing, but let's just walk in the hour length for the Smile High Club video that we're going to do. How many hours do you guys do?
Starting point is 00:26:28 Let's split the difference. I'll say nine. What about nine and one is lunch? Nine and one is lunch, I think. Yeah, nine and one is lunch. one his lunch is good. We can all go to Carl's Jr. Eat some famous stars
Starting point is 00:26:37 and come back for whatever. I gotta go get some mountain dew in me. I need that fuel. I can get over the edge. That's what it was working at Target. So nine hours instead of, and one hour for lunch. What if we do,
Starting point is 00:26:52 we put, Jeff, your pick a number thing in that format as well. And you have a number and we have to try to get it within that. And it's not until, until it said,
Starting point is 00:27:04 we can't stop. who is going to listen who will listen to this who will listen to just four men guessing numbers uh I think I think the longer it gets the more interesting it becomes oh my yeah we'll live stream this
Starting point is 00:27:19 this is a good one I don't think anyone will be like I listen to all nine hours but I think most people will be like well this went for nine hours I got to see what's going on what Jeff just said what Jeff just said I'm into if we live stream it instead of recording it has lower stakes to me where
Starting point is 00:27:36 that's way less interesting to do it as a recorded thing. If we live stream it, that's crazy and I love it. Well, then that sort of leads to my second question, but it becomes a little bit complicated with gameplay, I guess, multiple perspectives. Are all of these streamed things that we do?
Starting point is 00:27:53 Nine hours? I mean, if we can get our live switched stream or like split screen set up. Yeah. I think it should certainly be something to aspire to. I think it theoretically gets easier people have to drop out. But I know if we have switchers,
Starting point is 00:28:08 that would have to be a thing that, like, Nick operates or something that could be distracting and unfair. Who, I could, we could get somebody else to come in and punch it, I bet. Like, I got a buddy who'd come and do it. He doesn't care.
Starting point is 00:28:18 Okay. Well, as long as we have somebody that can do that. My friend Robbie'll hit buttons, monkey style. He's good a shit. I mean, a split screen would also work if we did, like, a 4K stream or something. Sure, but it's going to be five perspectives. Do you think that would fit?
Starting point is 00:28:31 Well, like, what does that? You'll be done within, like, seven minutes and then it'll be, you know, I'm going to, Andrew's going to have it in 30 minutes. Gavin will do it in two and a half hours. I'll do it in six and a half hours and I have no idea about the other two. Okay, so we're going to call, let me just get this one down. What number am I thinking of live stream? We're saying green light, let's do it. Yeah. Yes. Okay. That is what number am I thinking of live stream? And then the description is, guess the number. That's it. That's the whole I think it's going to be so funny
Starting point is 00:29:04 if let's say we spend an hour doing this and then somebody says like 72 and the chat just goes you've said that six times you've already said 72 six times it's not 72 I've already started looking at or trying to find like a big number sheet that we can like
Starting point is 00:29:21 tick off the numbers so like visually like there's something that we can like look at so you can scroll through you know what I mean like yeah you have to just a shared list that we can all like scroll to and eliminate or whatever um so i'm into that how nick how how hard do you think it would be to get us multi stream ready in this office uh is that is that like is that out of your wheelhouse that's not quite what i've done before but i'll bet you i can figure it
Starting point is 00:29:54 out so a little bit a while it's gonna take a little bit that's okay i'm i'm fine with it, too. I don't want to put it on you. You were just the guy that I leaned on there. If you know anybody that you would feel comfortable contracting to come in and help us set it up, Nick, we'd be, I think we'd all be happy to that. Okay, great. What if we put... Shainer Lindblad? What if we got splitters, HDMI spliters, right? And coming out of our capture devices, we would split to our monitor
Starting point is 00:30:24 and split one off to Nick, who has like a quad capture card or something. Yeah, it would be this other computer over here. here. Yeah, that's all a doable thing. I don't know how to do it. And so, like, that what you just said makes me go, hell yeah, I have no idea. I've never done that. We could also theoretically use V-Mix again for it. Yeah, because we need to, like, live stream it or whatever. So, like, we- And then we could just program it to, like, a stream deck or something to live-switch. Gavin was less into that idea. No, no, I just, like V-Mix. I just heard V-Mix, and I just got, it's like when you hear Animal Crossing, I just think of COVID, and I'm just like,
Starting point is 00:31:02 yucky time a lot of Vemix if what you're talking about is a doable thing Gavin then yeah let's just you know then we can do it I just did I don't know that that's a doable like I'm gonna throw something out
Starting point is 00:31:13 Adam might be allowed us too I have no idea how any of this works so I'm just throwing it out complete ignorance if we all shared our gameplay to Discord and there was sources for it in the same way that I did with
Starting point is 00:31:28 mafia would there be a way to just easily toggle between like the sources in OBS of whose video's playing? You'd have to manually switch it in Discord, I think. Yeah, and we're looking at a lower resolution for five instead of a lower resolution likely for one. Sure, yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:45 Okay. So whenever we tried and do that, we'll have our audio is all on top of everything. That's true, too. Yeah. The upside to the V-Mix thing is we can still all do our own individual audio, and then we'd also be able to, all five of us would be able to stream our video, and then we'd just have a sync point for it so that we're all in sync. So it'd just be a matter of figuring out how to set that up on that computer.
Starting point is 00:32:09 Yeah, we can talk to, we can talk to a couple people we used to work with and see if it's something we can do. That is, just so everyone listening to this is aware of, that is just outside of our wheelhouse of what we know how to do. So maybe we do the numbers as the first one and then call duty after that. Sure. Can I, can I just, on the record, just thumbs down the numbers thing? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:31 Absolutely. I've also given a thumbs down to the numbers thing. Oh, I'm a thumb. So that's two. And everyone else's thumbsing up? Yeah, I think we're all thumbs up. Okay. Yeah, why not? Okay.
Starting point is 00:32:44 There you go. I mean, Gavin, I'm with you. Absolutely. Thumbs down. I put it in the chat as soon as he started talking about it. You said you liked it as soon as I introduced the live stream element. Yeah. It makes me on board with it and makes it worth our time probably.
Starting point is 00:32:57 That sounds like that sounds like a thumb pointing towards. No, that's definitely not a thumbs up towards no. If you were to ask me thumbs up, thumbs down on it, I'd still be thumbs down. Wow. If Eric's thumbs down, I'm thumbs up. There you go. There we go. You got four against one.
Starting point is 00:33:10 I love it. What's the next one, Jeff? Next one I have written down is this would be, require us all to be in the same room or at least to have webcams. This is the I spy draft. I can't remember who's idea that was, but I don't think it was mine. I mean Kevin gave it a thumbs up I spy with my little eye
Starting point is 00:33:36 something red and then I spy I mean this is just the same idea as the numbers thing essentially right I think it was I think it was built off of the idea I think it probably was I think I think we just said that's a terrible idea spy was pitched yeah
Starting point is 00:33:51 except I think I think it was yeah the idea is bad the idea is bad and then somebody else went yeah you think that's a bad check this one out and I think that's just I feel like it might have been Meg's idea, but I'm not 100% sure. I don't know if we'd be comfortable with this, but maybe it's an office, maybe it's a can't, like an in-office cam is the perspective that you're pulling the I spy from, and maybe it's a stream, and maybe it's the audience that has to figure out what we're spying.
Starting point is 00:34:23 Maybe they're the ones making guesses. You're just going to see, you're going to see words fly on the screen like you've never seen before. Oh, I love it. Let's put a pin in that. I don't know if there is a way to do it, but there might be a way to, like, in Twitch, have a certain word be like toggleable. So if somebody puts it in, it like highlights. Like instead of a band word, it's like a the word. Yeah, or maybe we make the word band or, I don't know. There's probably something you can do in the back end to make it so, like, it is a noticeable event if somebody types in what the correct spy item is. So it's, so it's us at the office
Starting point is 00:35:01 with a camera that is like wide showing like the whole space and then say Gavin goes okay I spy with my little eyes something that's green and then
Starting point is 00:35:15 we're all giving the chat time to guess at whatever could be in that room that they can see that's green and then they're helping us guess is that how you play it with colors I mean yeah I think So, is that how you play? Typically, it's colors.
Starting point is 00:35:31 Oh. It could be colors. You could be like something small or, you know. I've just never. I've only ever played something beginning with the letter. Oh, I mean, these are all, these are all valid things that you could do. Just not what I think of when I think of I spy. Or like something round or something, yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:54 So we usually start with color in my family though. So we want to try I spy. Let's investigate I spy with the community, like with the Falcons or something. Office video. What if we did? Instead of Twitch plays Pokemon, it could be Twitch controls Andrew,
Starting point is 00:36:16 and we play hide-and-seek. If that's a doable thing, I think it's a good idea. I don't know how that would work with the Dillbut. You just have to re-chat and go where they want. Oh, okay. I thought you meant give them controls of Gilbott. That's totally fine.
Starting point is 00:36:32 That sounds way too hard for us to figure out. Yeah, absolutely. That's why it's like, I don't know. Chat. And we're hidden in different places around the office. Okay. I think that's a fun thing. Circling back on the I spy idea,
Starting point is 00:36:45 maybe it's something where if they figure out, like they have an hour to figure out all of our stuff. And if they get it right, then we have to stay there for like seven hours or eight or whatever the time is. Maybe it's like a win-lose. like they are if they get all of the thing like we all pick an item that is within the frame of the thing right so we all have our thing if they get all of ours then we're stuck there for the remainder of that that work shift or whatever and what we do in that endurance i don't know we're just
Starting point is 00:37:16 stuck we're stuck there if they fail it gives them a win-lose scenario if they fail at finding or five things then the stream's over in an hour i mean i like the idea of some high stakes just throwing it out there I mean we can do we have thumbs down on that idea that's the point of this I'm just just trying to think of stakes I think there's some something here I think we just maybe need to cook on it a little bit longer what if uh they win we have to spin the wheel of
Starting point is 00:37:42 what's the wheel of fuck that was like the tough video game tasks that's why I'm playing limbo oh right uh you should probably do the I think you should probably beat limbo first yeah when you're gonna do that yeah I think if they find all of our stuff you have to start like a limbo.
Starting point is 00:37:58 Every time I bring up the wheel of fuck it comes back on me. Doing it. Well, you could just be quiet. You just need to beat limbo and then
Starting point is 00:38:09 you can bring it up in it. Andrew's wheel of looks suspiciously like a boomerang. Do you want me to yellow light that one then? Yeah, yellow light it. Got it. It's a piss light.
Starting point is 00:38:25 Yeah. What about chatbot? Chatbot. Jesus Christ. Chat controls hide and seek Dilbot. I think that's fun.
Starting point is 00:38:31 I think that could be like a supplemental type video. Yeah, we agree. Okay. Green light. Got it. Moving on to the next
Starting point is 00:38:38 because we still gotta get through these fucking things and we're, oh my God, we're already 30 minutes. This one, all right, this one is a little
Starting point is 00:38:44 convoluted. There's 50 slots in this one, okay? We each maintain control of 10 slots. It's a big mega food draft.
Starting point is 00:38:55 We then, everybody drafts, 10 meals into those 50 slots. Those 50 slots correspond to 50 Sundays throughout the year with Christmas and Thanksgiving off, and then we all have to eat that food on that Sunday for an entire year. I, can I, I, I don't know, Sunday supper club.
Starting point is 00:39:16 I love the idea so much. I had a similar type thing, and I don't know if you guys will be able to solve the problem I had with this premise of I wanted to do a thing before where everybody would submit a bunch of foods that they like into something that could automated message us but we have no idea when it will message
Starting point is 00:39:40 or what it will message it just has a list of foods that it can pull from and if you whenever it goes out you have to get that food that day no matter what's going on so it could in the middle of a Wednesday at 11am it could just say eggs yes and then you have to go get eggs that day. You have to eat an egg dish that day. I think that's a great idea on its own.
Starting point is 00:40:03 But if we were to combine these ideas, I would think it would be, we pick the 50 meals, it goes into a random thing, we hit the button every Monday, and it tells us what we're all going to have to eat on Sunday. And so we can't know more than a week in advance. So we have a week to get in all the ingredients? Yeah, and figure out how we're going to, yeah. Or like figure out where to go to eat it, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:26 A year's a shitload of time It's a shitload of time It lasts forever It also forces I think it gets funny When you're on vacation And you're like How the fuck do I find a beef Wellington
Starting point is 00:40:36 In Thailand I don't You know Maybe could we Could we do a trial run Where it's like We do like food February or something And it's every Sunday of February
Starting point is 00:40:49 How about eat tober Eat tober's good I like eat tober So for the month of October We we throw Everybody puts one into the random Number or the random food generator We'll have five so one won't get used
Starting point is 00:41:05 Probably and then we'll spin them out Are there four Sundays in October I'm assuming? What's the next month with five Sundays? Well I think We could do We could do a A four A four Sunday month
Starting point is 00:41:19 But then spin the wheel of I can see who gets fucked and doesn't get to pick a meal November's the next Or we can do November. November's the next five Sunday. I do think it's funny if one of us doesn't have any say in their Sunday meal for a whole month. I do you think that's great. I mean, November's coming up there.
Starting point is 00:41:36 Yeah, November's tough, though, because it's also the holiday. So you're going to be dealing with, like, Thanksgiving dinner and stuff. I think food tober is the way and just one of us, we spin a wheel and whoever it lands on doesn't get to make a pick for that month. I think you're right about that. Yeah, eat tober. Let's do it. Eat tober. What am I writing down?
Starting point is 00:41:58 You went in, like, I get the concept. I'm making everyone restate what the concept is. So that way we're all on the same page and I'm writing the thing down that we can refer back to. So you just want us to restate the concept to you? Correct. So I can write it down. So that way when we go, what the fuck was I'm on top of it.
Starting point is 00:42:15 I'm on top of it. Okay, all right. So at some point in the month of August or September, we are going to have a supplemental video where we sit down and we each submit a meal. The five of us submit a Sunday meal. One, two, three, four, five. It's a one-round draft or one-round supplemental.
Starting point is 00:42:35 Then we determine via wheel one of us sitting out or we just pull, we spend them all on the wheel and whichever one, we pull them off as they get selected. And then we build out the October Sunday meal list. And then we adhere to it. Love it. Right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:54 Yep. Perfect. Perfect. Eat tober. At some point in August or September, we're going to have a supplemental video where we all submit a Sunday meal. We determined via the wheel that someone sits out. We adhere to the Sunday October meal list. Yes.
Starting point is 00:43:12 What meal of the day is it or can it be any? I think it can be any. Yeah. I like that. I already have my meal, which means I'm going to be able to pick one. that's how the universe works okay eat tober as a trial run at least is on the board
Starting point is 00:43:31 so we got it okay moving on oh this one is already on the books it's the top 20 and the order of the draft is the ranking you're recording this on Friday yeah I was going to say when this comes out we'll actually be recording that
Starting point is 00:43:47 we're probably recording it now if you listen to this yeah unless you're listening to it later then we already did it how do we do do you want to explain it jeff uh yeah so the idea is it's a draft with 20 slots like our normal drafts have snake draft style we each get to pick five items or four items i'm sorry and uh no is it five items how many items do we pick four boy four yeah we each pick four items sorry and uh what we're picking uh for we're populating the 20 greatest video games of all time numbered one to 20 number one being the greatest video game of all time number 20
Starting point is 00:44:22 being the 20th greatest video game of all time. However, where you end up randomly in the draft determines where on that list you pick. So if I end up picking third on the draft list, I am drafting the third best video game of all time. There is no discussion or debate. It is my slot to fill. So you might disagree vehemently
Starting point is 00:44:43 with me putting Viva Penaata Trouble in Paradise as the third best video game of all time. But it doesn't fucking matter because it's my slot. And through that process, we will determine the 20 best video games of all time ranked in an order that will make zero people on the planet Earth happy. So you're not going to be considerate of the list? You're just going to put whatever you feel like in your slot.
Starting point is 00:45:02 I'm going to be honest to the truth of me. Because I really like Halo 1, but I couldn't put that as number 1. Well, then don't. I know. Actually, I had, in the process of this list, I had this thought and I came to the conclusion that if you were going to play any Halo game right now,
Starting point is 00:45:21 Halo Infinite's the best Halo game. I think if you're deeming what the best one is, it's Halo Infi. But most people would not say because you factoring in Impact and the time in which was released. But if you're evaluating it purely on what is the most entertaining Halo game
Starting point is 00:45:38 to play right now, it is Infinite. And if that's your best video game of all time, Gavin, go ahead and put Halo Infinite as number one, if that's the slot you pull. Would you rather play Infinite than Halo 3? Yes. Halo 3 is so slow. I didn't feel that way at the time Halo 3 came out, but to go back to Halo 3 now, it is such a sluggish game. Oh, I don't think it's that bad. Oh, it's so bad. In my opinion, obviously. I'm not, you know, I'm glad you like it. And these are the kind of disagreements you can expect when you watch the 20 greatest video games of all time as ranked draft. It's going to be phenomenal. I can't wait. I can't wait.
Starting point is 00:46:20 I already have thoughts of other content that can jump off of that which I'm excited to see play out yeah the format works for anything that you can rank yeah I meant like even outside of that format that there are content ideas that could spring from this oh yeah the format works even outside of the format
Starting point is 00:46:39 it's the best I have an idea of a game that Gavin might pick and I don't think I've ever played that game so it could be a thing of like I think you're crazy let's play this game is it odd world Gabe's Odyssey it is a
Starting point is 00:46:54 games he loves it games Odyssey games I would bet that Gaff would put that in his top 20
Starting point is 00:47:04 oh I'm right there with you buddy that's why I knew instantly what game it was the second you said oh there's Gabe there's the glicks there's gluck the gluckin that is not what I was thinking
Starting point is 00:47:17 but you're totally right and it still applies. I never played any of those games. Oh, I love, I love Abe. Oh, Christ. Oh, Christ. That's gonna be fun. I'm so excited to do more.
Starting point is 00:47:31 I've already made a list of movies, TV shows, and games. I'm very excited about the idea. I only have one more on my list, but I'd like to hear if Eric has any others because I know we were keeping independent lists that day and I feel like I might have forgotten one or two. So he might have been able to fill in if I did forget something.
Starting point is 00:47:48 but the last thing on my list from that day is the song is a location draft which I don't think the name does it justice basically it is a draft of songs where the title of the song is a location like Detroit Rock City or Galveston Oh it has to be in the title
Starting point is 00:48:06 No in the lyrics In the title yeah In the title Oh shit Yeah I think it's a great one New York New York I left my heart in San Francisco Etcetera etc
Starting point is 00:48:15 Garden Grove by sublime yeah I got my number one pick already I'm locked in wow I think it's a fun draft I think that's an easy one no brainer it's an easy yep yeah uh Eric was there anything else from that day
Starting point is 00:48:30 uh looking at some of the other stuff that we've left on the board that we talked about but haven't gotten circled back around to here Gavin's 2025 threat my what This is why I ask you guys to repeat a description sometimes. You made a threat.
Starting point is 00:48:53 I don't remember what caused it, but you're like, uh, this is a threat. Something's going to happen. And, uh, I did, that was it. That was essentially, you, you, you dropped the threat down. And then we're like, what are you going to do? And you're like, oh, no. And it was very clear that you didn't know what you were going to do. You just said it.
Starting point is 00:49:15 So I never announced the threat. No, no, you announced that there was a threat. I think it was towards Nick. I feel like it was a threat towards Nick, but I don't remember clearly. But I do remember, I went like, am I putting this on like in like the idea bank? And I think Jeff said yes.
Starting point is 00:49:32 It was towards everyone except me initially. And then he added me. Okay. I feel like everyone remembers this better than I do. You better go back and listen to some old podcast. And it was on the podcast? I don't think it was on a podcast. It was, no, I think it was like the,
Starting point is 00:49:45 the end of an episode. You've got a score to settle with this. You just got to figure out what it is. It was, I don't think, I think it was a between recording thing and I think it was you you just like, it was so unlike you, you're like, mm-hmm, get ready for a threat. Something's going to happen. Oh man, I wish
Starting point is 00:50:01 I remembered that. Shit, that sounds good. Yeah. So, so that's one idea. Another one that we had that we haven't gotten back around to and it's something that I wonder if we want to talk about here if not cut this out, whatever. 3D ultra mini golf marathon stream we talked about doing some streaming stuff um trying to figure
Starting point is 00:50:22 out like what else we can do on twitch and we've had a lot of conversations about like where it can live and what we can do and whatever and something that was brought up was a 3d ultra mini golf marathon stream where like one hole is however many subs or something like that so i wonder if that's something that we still want to explore it doesn't have to be now that we have to explore it but something that we should we can talk about if that's something we want to explore uh in streaming in general yeah I think that's fun I think that would be a great like yearly event type thing
Starting point is 00:50:51 like how there is like the PGA open or whatever like there's specific doing like a yearly golf tournament I think is fun have you ever played in your childhood like during summer break or anything did you ever play like Rummy 500 with your friends or like I don't know
Starting point is 00:51:06 a sibling or Rummy 1,000 where you would keep score over a series of maybe 20 hands of Rummy and it could take days, but you'd keep coming back to it. No. I used to do that when I was a kid a lot. I played a lot of Rummy,
Starting point is 00:51:22 and so we'd play like Rummy a thousand. And you know, you get like 60 points in a round, but you'd keep the score and you'd always come back and it'd be like, where are we at today? And it'd be like, it's $350 to 268. And you'd be like, oh, let me get the $500 for you. And, but, you know, one game of Rummy could last like two weeks through your summer, like if I was hanging
Starting point is 00:51:37 out. What if we do golf forever and we just have to permanently keep score of our golf holeage? that's across all games forever. Yeah, I think that's what, I think that's what Jeff's driving at. I do like that idea.
Starting point is 00:51:51 100% what I'm driving at is, what if there's a master golf score that we're keeping up with that matters and that we track somewhere and any time we play golf it, golf with friends, 3D ultra mini golf, whatever, that it gets entered into the overall master score.
Starting point is 00:52:08 I like it. Love it. Like call like mini golf major, like something like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a great idea. Is it a thing where like, it's a grand tour idea and we have to compile all the golf games ahead of time and we make sure we hit all of them? And then maybe there's like a, the Masters, I guess, at the end of the year that we compete in where we for the green jacket or whatever.
Starting point is 00:52:33 I just want to make sure we hit because I don't think we have a natural enough golf cadence necessarily. Yeah. No, not at all. The scale that I'd want. So I think we should probably compile a bunch of golf games we can play. I'm looking up right now in the store I know they just released a collection of all the golden tea games
Starting point is 00:52:49 I did see that I did see that online going to a bar Jesus Christ no on Xbox that you can play golden tea on Xbox it's like eight well they put together like eight golden tea games including like the bowling one they did uh golden tea arcade classics does this have online multiplayer
Starting point is 00:53:07 that's crazy I guess what he doesn't even need to be online we can just all play simultaneously you're ready Yeah, it's just local. It's local multi-player so you guys can play two to four. That's crazy. Should we do it where once a year we look at who's at the top and who's at the bottom and there's like a prize for the winner and a penalty for the loser?
Starting point is 00:53:28 Yeah, green jacket for the winner for sure and then the loser. Boots for the loser. Maybe we have to all get, maybe we just go get lunch at a golf course. Green jacket, red boots. Maybe is it we can do a golden tea tournament because there's enough games and whoever wins gets a golden tea
Starting point is 00:53:51 Maybe it can be a face off thing And Joel Golden T 3D golf Golden T 97 golden T 98 Golden T 99 golden T 2K and Golden T Classic Wow In addition to all the other golf games on Earth I do think there's something here
Starting point is 00:54:07 to us doing a golf tournament I love the idea of green jacket red boots I love the idea of a master golf score I love the idea of it all working together towards some greater goal I think that we can this is another one that we can put a little bit of time crafting
Starting point is 00:54:21 and I think it can be something really big and over I like these overarching ideas that last for a year or more potentially and so I think that we should really put some time into making sure that this would get in the most out of this because this is a fucking great idea I really like the idea of eventually
Starting point is 00:54:37 having a website where people can just check the current stats on something yeah and that'd be a great one for it along with uh hamburgers and other stuff that we got going um okay so i think that's a good idea uh bird not bird draft was another one great great idea love uh things that are birds but not birds and then uh whole loaf of bread sandwich that's just yeah yeah so those are things that we talked about recently that we need to revisit and think of um i have an idea that i wanted to
Starting point is 00:55:12 to kick around a little bit and just kind of see what you guys think. And kind of what the audience thinks also, but I'm more curious about just sort of like your feelings on it. I brought it up to Jeff, I think, like the other day. And so I felt like the sausage shock was a good environment for it, where I listened to a podcast called Threatom that has a new episode every week. And something they started doing probably like a year or two ago is they have a thing on their RSS feed, a regular RSS feed that they just title three visiting. And it just, they just put up an old
Starting point is 00:55:49 episode. They don't do anything to it. They don't like, hey, here we are presenting this thing. It is just a re-upload of that old episode. And I find myself listening to every single one of those old episodes. Is that something that we maybe want to try? Because I feel like a lot of people go back and like re-listen to this podcast and I wonder if putting up old face episodes doesn't even have to be it could be an order it could be ones that we just want to put out or whatever the same RSS feed so if our episode comes out Wednesday maybe it's a Friday thing where it just where you know an old face episode goes out on Friday or Sunday or something like that. So we have like a syndicate syndication slot?
Starting point is 00:56:37 Yeah. It's essentially it's just an old episode of f***ase because there's a lot if you wanted to go back and listen to 66 like episode 66 of f***is like the old show, you got to scroll for like a really long time. And I'm not saying this solves that problem, but I am saying that I think it's a fun way to reintroduce a back catalog that is a lot of fun to listen to that I never would go back and listen to this podcast if they didn't present it to me and I listen to every single one. I just worry about that being annoying for people who are listening and they want one episode to end and the next episode to play but suddenly it's jumped back four years. I don't consume stuff like that so I'd never occurred to me that that's the way that people
Starting point is 00:57:20 listen to this stuff. But I don't know, I just wanted to get your guys' opinion on this thing. I love the idea of highlighting old content in that way. I think it's a really cool idea. I am my only concern would be the war of the worlds of it where I would hate for people to get confused if they weren't if they didn't understand what was going on and suddenly like lose themselves and it's we're talking about 22 stuff and they're like they feel like disconnected from the
Starting point is 00:57:50 podcast for a second I would hate for that to happen but if it was clearly messaged I I don't think I have an issue with it I'd love to hear the audiences feedback on this one which is you know part of why we do these sausage talks to pull them directly as well because I do think some way to highlight the older episodes, especially the first, like, 60 or so, which aren't on, I guess they are on YouTube now because of the compilations we've been doing. But, yeah, they were a little less easy to find, I guess. I think we have a mechanism that makes a lot of sense to do this easily, and maybe we could do something fun with it where we have a time machine. Maybe somebody is going back
Starting point is 00:58:26 through time and ending up in these episodes. And that is at the beginning of all of these old episodes that are being brought forward is a little time machine's sake. machine skip and maybe there's a little bit of like an overarching thing with that I do like that yeah I like the time machine I like regulation syndication yeah so like I so I just dropped a uh an image of like what it looks like in their RSS feed that makes sense to me where it's here's three visiting so you know it's an old one and then it again here's the new one and then the old one and then the new one I understand what you're saying about confusion I've never once been confused list I go back and listen to all of these, like they just put a new one out and I just put it, I listened to it again. I've never once been confused.
Starting point is 00:59:09 You're just so smart though. Yeah, yeah, you know me. Big brain over here. I just, I think that it's so much fun to listen to like the old ones and not even a way like, oh my God,
Starting point is 00:59:20 can you believe they said that back then? It's just like, it's more of the thing that I like in a way that I wouldn't have revisited in any other way, shape or form. I think it'd be really fun to do as like a four episode, maybe test,
Starting point is 00:59:34 see, like, how the audience reacts to it and do a time machine thing. Do you sort of an eat tober type thing with it, test it out? Yeah, do a trial. Yeah, I like that idea. Because it's one of those things where, like, if the audience likes it more than the audience hates it, we should do it. Right? Absolutely. And I don't think it's, would it be that hard to do like a two-minute time machine edition
Starting point is 00:59:53 before those recordings take, but played before the episode for the upload? Speaking for Nick and Eric, I say, no, it's not a hard at all. Two minutes is pretty long. They can do it. They're talented. Would it be the same thing for every two? No, I think each one has a different thing. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:00:09 I think there is a narrative of the time machine and like you keep whoever to be different people, different parts, but. And maybe we could like do summaries of what we talk about on that one or something? That doesn't even necessarily need to be summaries. It could just be a ridiculous thing. What would we be talking about? Just saying that it's old. You could be like attention regulation listeners. It's your old pal buddy, Jeff, and I'm surfing the slipstream.
Starting point is 01:00:34 today, and I've wound up on the release date of October 3rd, 2021, and Reface Episode 67, and I can't stay, but I'm going to leave it here for you. Enjoy this, look into the past. I just think it's, I think adding something to the beginning is just, like, it's overthinking what can be a very easy, like, I think the show is overthinking. It's a very easy, like, lever to pull or whatever, and I just, I don't want to add anything to like Nick's plate that needs to be more difficult
Starting point is 01:01:07 but if you guys are into it and you want to try it that's fine I want to know what the audience thinks like I know there are a lot of people who go back and like listen to this stuff and I don't again I don't want to confuse the audience
Starting point is 01:01:16 with something that's coming out on the same RSS feed or whatever this is just the thing that I've enjoyed from a podcast that I listened to that I wanted to bring here and see if there was any interest in doing it I'm fine if you guys want to record something because if we want to record something
Starting point is 01:01:29 for like the beginning and give it a shot I'm totally into that I'm definitely interested in this idea I thought it was a great idea when you brought it up and I still think it's a great idea. It is interesting. I think looking at the feed too, we have a lot of episodes that go back to back sometimes where we don't have weeks where we have supplemental content that has an audio component to it.
Starting point is 01:01:46 But when we have a lot of those in a row, like for instance this past week for when we put this out, we had regulation takes and the interview with Sheen. And those were back to back as supplementals plus an episode and then you get one of these in between. They can add a lot of things into the feed. So that would be my only concern with key. keeping it clean like a consistent kind of clean yeah exactly we're already i mean clearly we're already not keeping it clean no but i mean even even adding that then there's just one more additional
Starting point is 01:02:14 thing it might be easier to denote with like a piece of artwork or something to go with like meta audience you got to let us know this is one of those times where we definitely want to hear from you and want to hear your take on it yeah i'm interested in what they say i also work is it uh is it like a thing that's good at some points but maybe if something changes with the system, it's bad. Like, if everyone was skipping these, does it affect discoverability, or is there no, like,
Starting point is 01:02:40 I don't know. That's an interesting question. I bet there's... I hadn't thought about that. No. I had the algorithm part of it. Yeah, I just worry that it's, like, something we try now,
Starting point is 01:02:49 and then two years down the line, they're like, oh, if you have a lot of people skip in your episodes, we won't show them to them. And then it's like, oh, we've screwed ourselves two years ago or something. But I don't know. I don't know if there's any system
Starting point is 01:03:02 like that in place for podcasts Spotify or Apple or anything. Okay, so I mean, we'll leave it to the audience and see what they think about it, but I'm fine with trying the time machine thing too, like if people are like into it or whatever. And yeah, we can see if it's something that we want to explore. I kind of feel like no one way or the other about it other than what I just brought up. So I'm into doing it or not doing it. Like if it falls through, then I truly have no hard feelings about it whatsoever.
Starting point is 01:03:30 That's a really cool idea that I would have thought of. So I'm definitely into doing it's fun, personally. Was there anything else, Eric? Looking at the list, I don't think so. There is a one grain of rice cookoff, but I'll leave that to you. I vote thumbs down, but that's just me personally. Put it in the barrel. One grain of rice.
Starting point is 01:03:51 Yeah, put it in the barrel. Yeah, there you go. I have such a list over here of stuff for the barrel. I can't wait to get the barrel going on. Like smash dogs, Terminal Velocity Drop Burger. there's so much okay then i think that's it in terms of ideas or anything like that of what we hadn't talked about or had or hadn't talked about anything else you guys want to cover i know we have questions but anything else you guys want to cover before we get into that i want to
Starting point is 01:04:21 i've got a thing that i want to bring up right before questions i thought it'd be a good idea for this sausage talk if i uh if i picked my favorite comment from the last few episodes um or since the last sausage talk. This was from Patreon, because that's really the only place I look at him. And someone in response to me asking if there's a hot popsicle, like a soup, someone responded, and I wish I'd written down the name, but I didn't. Someone wrote, hotcicle is just suck a dick, bruh. And to me, that was my favorite recent comment from one of the comment leavers. Well, right on, man. Thanks. That guy, guys, and that's, and that's Gavin's comment moment. Write in your comments on Patreon,
Starting point is 01:05:03 and maybe Gavin will pick one for the next sausage talk. Comment of the quarter. Gavin's quarterly comment. Yep. Can we get a sausage count for Gavin for this? One thing we should talk about briefly, because it was a big deal and it just happened, before we get into questions, is merchandise.
Starting point is 01:05:28 We just had the Gerpler sale. And I think by all accounts, it went swimmingly. We ordered 10,000 Gerplers. There was a well-publicized number. We sold through them in the 12 to 14-hour range, I think, which feels pretty good in comparison to where we've been in the past, you know. It'd be nice to have a few on the shelf still for somebody for stragglers,
Starting point is 01:05:52 but basically if you logged into our store on Friday, you got a Gerpler. And I feel really good about that. yeah that's great we have begun work on the next gerbler uh look for it to be out in the fall it's you know think october november somewhere around there i would assume we're you know very early stages on it it will not be the same gerpler we we tend to to not re uh revisit the same ideas when we gurp uh in addition to that the patches are going swimmingly i think the next drop that comes out will be our hat patch uh combo and then we need to get to work we have a pigeon patch common we need to get to work on
Starting point is 01:06:37 the next three pack that we'll have out soon the audience seems to really like those three packs so we'll probably increase the numbers of those and we're going to dramatically increase the quantity of cooslers and i think the coosler will just become a part and parcel with the gurpler whenever we release a gurpler we'll release a coosler alongside it at least we haven't discussed that, but I get the feeling that's the way things are headed, right? Yeah, it makes sense to me. Yeah, the demand is definitely there. Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:07:07 And are we fine sticking with the number of gurps, like you're happy with 12 hours of sale based on that? I am, yeah. I think that's, I think it's a great number. Until I see the next gurpler, it's hard to say, because honestly, I bumped the number in my head up a little bit just based on how cool the Cosmic Gerbler looked, you know? and I think it's by far the best looking thing
Starting point is 01:07:30 we've ever done and I'll just have to see what the next one looks like but yeah I think I think that number we could go up a little bit and see but you know yeah it will I think get even more data with the next drop and I think
Starting point is 01:07:44 every drop has been super informative and making sure that we can make it the best experience possible for the audience which is certainly the frustration in the audience is trending down with every gurp which is great Yeah, I didn't see a lot of frustration
Starting point is 01:07:59 No, I only saw a few of people who were working the whole day Or people who were like, I didn't bother looking Because I didn't think it'd be available And now I'm kicking myself. I saw it through those Which suck, but Yeah, I'm excited for the next group It's going to be From what I've seen pretty great
Starting point is 01:08:15 Yeah, I think so too I think so too But it's got some big gherps to gurp You know, that previous gurpler was pretty special It does have some big gherp to gurp. Shall we move into questions? Does anyone else have anything that they like to bring up? No, let's do it. Okay, let's go into questions. This is immediately my fault. Jake Matthew asked, we're the rest of the Ratatoui videos? That's on the
Starting point is 01:08:41 Eric's been wanting to Ratatoui. I've been asking. I need it to rearrange my desk. We're going to get on that. I have my 360 set up because we did that thing. And I'm excited. Jesus Christ. I said, I said, and then I processed my head that that is not out yet. That pauses me scheduling in my head. When does this come out in relation to that? That's definitely not out yet. We did a 360 thing, so I'm ready to go and ratatooie.
Starting point is 01:09:05 There will be more ratatooie in your life soon enough. Eric's been asking for it. I want to do it. I just want to get it done. I want to finish achievement hunting in that game. Next question. No use for name. What are some projects you're most excited about but are most worried about at the same time?
Starting point is 01:09:22 Or projects you all just have to keep pushing due to timing or scheduling or whatever. For me, it's face off season two. Yeah. I'm so excited for that. We just need to get everybody rounded up for scheduling that. Summer has been a pretty hectic time
Starting point is 01:09:38 for organizing things. Are we waiting on anything specifically for that? It's the fucking boots is what we're waiting on. We need to have Nick fulfill his punishment from season one before we can release season two. And it's just been hard to pay that off. But the payoff is coming. we just essentially scheduled it
Starting point is 01:09:56 I don't want to give it away but the payoff is coming it's on the calendar so I'm right there with you Andrew I've just been desperate to get to face off season two there's a lot of hype around it internally
Starting point is 01:10:06 within us and we just want to be able to do it so as soon as we can get Nick's sweaty little toes in those shoes we'll be able to move forward let's do it Nick perked up when he said
Starting point is 01:10:19 sweaty little toes he got all into it I know how to talk to him next question or I guess do we have any other answers to that sorry I would jump the gun on that do you guys have ones that you're anticipating or yeah the next thing we do for the wheel of decades oh that'll be fun I'm really looking forward to it and then I'm also not looking because of what we landed on the first time not looking forward to what it could potentially could be yeah I'm excited as well
Starting point is 01:10:49 learned a lot that will be very interesting. One thing I'm working on is just finalizing some equipment stuff at the office. We're trying to move off of the current setup we have in the couch space. Oh, that's right. Yeah. So we can do more couch stuff. Yeah. And that'll enable us to use the other room as well for stream purposes. So we have a few things that we want to get set up and tested out. It's just finding the time in between recordings. Jeff, anything else at the office you've been working on that you want to tease and say that you're excited to do soon? I'm pretty excited about getting back
Starting point is 01:11:23 going on the break room and the break show we should be really close there I feel like we're in the 94% tile range
Starting point is 01:11:32 or something in terms of completion it really is it just looks like a messy sweaty gross room but once we cast
Starting point is 01:11:39 press the detitipation on it it'll be all fun perfect the office is in a great spot now where we've done four player
Starting point is 01:11:48 gameplay in there and I just feel like it's it's a great spot to just coming and sit down and make stuff now. I'm there right now. Prestidigitation.
Starting point is 01:11:57 Fuck me. Great work, man. I'm at the office right now. It's awesome. Except for that toilet. Everything else is good. Shit, it don't work. Yep.
Starting point is 01:12:06 Should it don't work. Next question from Evan Hub 40. My question to you all is, who do you think among you would be most able to kick their way out of a child-infested space? I think Nick. Yeah, I agree.
Starting point is 01:12:19 Although I thought Nick could crawl through that tube. faster than Gavin and Gavin kind of killed it but you took an injury in that didn't you Gavin Nick beat me in that but I got I scuffed up all my arms
Starting point is 01:12:31 oh did Nick beat you in my memory you beat Nick no Nick smoked him okay well then it's Nick all the way then this is an even really question Nick's definitely good I got hurt in the first run and it affected my confidence
Starting point is 01:12:44 in the second run we gotta revisit it then right a rematch? I'm really nervous that we didn't win Larry King's Keys. Yeah. Well, that's not out yet. Yeah, but the...
Starting point is 01:13:00 No, but... The auction is in 20 hours, so... No, I mean, like, takes pot, too. Oh, that's fine. They don't know what we're talking about. Of course. Are there any... Yeah, Gavin, of course.
Starting point is 01:13:11 Of course. It's fine. They still don't know what we're talking about. Next question is from Stee and McKearney. Are there any upcoming games you guys have planned to play that you can tease. I have one that people seem really excited
Starting point is 01:13:24 about us playing Battlefield 6. So that is one that I am excited to play with you guys. I'm not typically a Battlefield guy, but I've heard nothing but good things about this new one, and it definitely seems like there's a lot of people in the audience that want us to play it.
Starting point is 01:13:38 What do you think, Gavin? We played it this weekend together. Yeah, I played with Jeff and the Trump boys, and it was very fun. Oh, it's awesome. I'm so glad to hear that. I never know how, like, serious FPS is going to translate to,
Starting point is 01:13:50 entertaining video, you know? But it is a lot of fun to play and it's a gorgeous game, like absolutely beautiful. There's also like really just cinematic stuff that happens naturally. That's interesting. And there's just like moments where you're like, holy shit, did you see that?
Starting point is 01:14:06 I do felt like I spent the four hours we played going just explaining to the guys what just happened in front of me. No, you don't understand. And then the helicopter crashed in front of me and the rotor went right over my head. Right over my head. I think it'll be a lot of fun to check out
Starting point is 01:14:23 and will be a great video. Next question from Phoenix Exalt. Will there ever be more Gwomen Gurplers? It was such a cool concept. We've never really talked about that internally. I have my gut feel on it. I personally lean towards a no, but I'd love to hear what you guys say.
Starting point is 01:14:42 I think it was like a really fun idea when we did it. And I'm not against doing it again, but also like I don't feel the. need to revisit that idea specifically. Like, it's cool, but, you know. I'm right there with Eric. I liked the idea. I'm certainly open to creating more of them if the idea warrants it.
Starting point is 01:15:05 But if the idea was just redo the thing we already did a second time, I don't find that to be particularly appealing. Yeah. So there was some sort of a clever way to do it that made sense absolutely. But I don't want to just, I don't want to get into. to just like reruns of what we're doing. Totally. I think there's a mechanism there
Starting point is 01:15:26 or an idea of like a chase type thing that's fun. And chase isn't even necessarily. But like a variation is kind of cool because we typically only do one color of gurp. That's the only time we've had multi-gurp colors release. So I don't like my interest in doing more gold gurplers specifically in the way that we did it doesn't really exist. But the idea of there being like a,
Starting point is 01:15:50 a twist on a release of a Gerpler, I think, is a lot of fun. And, you know, the idea of there being content around it, too. Like, we had those USB drives in those golden girps, right? With a special video. I thought that was, that was the thing that was fun to me about it. Yeah, it was 10 that went out? Absolutely. 10 golden grips?
Starting point is 01:16:06 Yeah. Yeah. And then we put the Vernon on the video, so that way we knew which one shared it. Yeah, which leaker it was. I think it was number six that leaked it. Yep, yep. I still haven't seen that video. Oh, it's good.
Starting point is 01:16:23 I guess I experienced it, but I never watched the posted leak. Does that just on, like, YouTube? Can I just find that on YouTube? I think it's on their YouTube, right? Yeah, just look up Golden. I believe that was my first Coke. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:40 Wow. Yep. What a moment. Next question by Brian Ford. The interview with Shane was awesome. as of now, are there any plans to have more interviews slash supplemental content similar to that? Or if there aren't plans, would you be open to it?
Starting point is 01:16:56 I'd certainly be open to it if it made sense. Like, it's not like a thing. Yeah, if anyone spoke as much regulation as Shaheen, I think it would make total sense. Absolutely. But it would have to be like they're in the universe. It has to like within our world make sense. I'm not like we're not in the same way that we're always open to doing drafts.
Starting point is 01:17:13 I don't think there's any interest in regularly doing interviews in any capacity. It was awesome and such a, just a lightning and a bottle thing that Shaheen, who happened to work with us on the higher judge.com thing was on Survivor, which is a show that we're all mostly really big fans of. Like, that was just like, that was an amazing amount of kismet that you just don't expect. But we didn't interview him because of Survivor. We interviewed him because of the Pencil Judge thing. Yes. And the Survivor thing was just like this wild, happy accident that put them in front of us in a public way that, you know, kind of made all set the wheels in motion. But I think that the thing about it is, though, is that it was the connection to the show that we wanted to explore.
Starting point is 01:18:01 And so there just aren't going to be a lot of people that are going to have a connection to our show in that way. Yeah, I mean, he's already been heard speaking on the main show. So it makes sense. But there's not a lot of other people who have done that. and at some point you're just interviewing Jack again you know it's also I think
Starting point is 01:18:21 a really great time to like once again we talk about this all the time our community is so absurd and amazing that is a connection that only happened
Starting point is 01:18:33 because of the community that is not a thing that I would have ever connected the dots on but it was people that are listening to the show and are passionate about it
Starting point is 01:18:42 sharing that connection and then enabling us to actually connect with him. Like, I would have had no, it very easily could be a thing where I watched Survivor and had no concept that he was the pencil judge. The only reason why that was ever discovered was because of people in our community talking about it and just so thankful. The community is very on top of it in that way. And I think this is by far the community that has the most similar vibe to the people making the show. Like, I've been a part of communities where every idea is pretty, I don't know,
Starting point is 01:19:16 just doesn't fit. The regulation community has tremendous ideas, I feel like, because they speak regulation and they sort of know the vibe of it. Tremendous ideas and execution. I just love that there's somebody out there that made a hot dog counting website for the community. Yeah, exactly that kind of thing. I completely agree with you, Gavin. As somebody who's been lucky enough to have, or to participate in online communities for 23-ish years now there's been
Starting point is 01:19:45 nothing like this in the history of my experience. There really hasn't. Not to like, not to, you know, blow the audience while I'm cradling in their balls or anything, but it really is just a fucking special and unique community that
Starting point is 01:20:01 has kind of formed around us. They made several Christmas albums. Fucking crazy. Yeah. Yeah. You're only cradling the balls, not the vaginas? Well, yeah, I mean, I'm also cradling the vaginas. All the balls are that is that.
Starting point is 01:20:16 I'm up to, dude, I'm a washing genitals as a thank you. But yeah. I'm going to get Jeff out of this and go to the next question, which is written by the one and only spummer. Nice. With an unlimited budget, what show or series would you like to create? Ooh. I'm, of all the people here, I think a most interesting.
Starting point is 01:20:37 Gavin's answer? Really? Yeah, I feel like you, I don't know, with slow-mo guys, you deal with explosions and stuff, I just feel like... Oh, you think we should bring explosions to regulation? I don't know, I just feel like you work on a larger scale than we do typically. Yeah, I think maybe I would just do, I would do more, like, regulation-related trips. Regulation trips, regulation field trips.
Starting point is 01:21:04 Like if we have an idea that can only be done in some... random city and some random state it could be like hey you want to go on friday i think with an unlimited budget what show or series would you like to create i would like to recreate mad mad world or rat race uh with the community that would be the yeah that would be the goal and insane scavenger hunt be fantastic how about you nick or eric i i don't know like it is tough because budget like so rarely factors in yeah yeah that's how i feel that's the thing and even like um little budget for travel isn't really that much of an issue for us. It's more of a component of time. Oh, yeah. And by that, I mean, not like we have the budget. It's unlimited. It's that I don't think
Starting point is 01:21:48 on a scale that would require a large budget. I struggle, and it's going to sound like a cop-out answer, but I struggle to think of something that I've wanted to make at regulation that hasn't been achievable. You know? It's never hindered by budget. Like, I love the fact that we were able to make what I think was a really funny, good video for the cost of four sandwiches the other day? Yeah, I love that.
Starting point is 01:22:12 Absolutely, that is my sweet spot. Like, I came into this industry making a production company out of two Xboxes, you know? Like, that, that, that, that was my ceiling. The only reason back in Achievement Hunter we did shows like Haunter and hardcore and
Starting point is 01:22:30 last laugh that had these inflated budgets is because they approached me, and by they, I mean management, approached me and said, think big, what's your big budget idea? We have money. We need to spend it. We want to spend it. Give us your best big budget ideas. So we then went to the drawing board and came up with ideas for them. But those weren't ideas that I would have naturally even landed on in that, like anything we want to do, I feel like we can do because I think all of our ideas are fairly achievable. You know what it is for me is survive Block Island was a really fun idea that I know that we had talked about.
Starting point is 01:23:04 that people like really loved I really kind of don't feel one way or another about it I think is a really cool show um and I would love to do more of that if there was something like that where like the budget didn't matter we could get all of our friends and do that stuff I think what I would want to do is make a mini golf game and we talked about that previously sort of brought up in like other stuff or whatever but a mini golf video game that was like right it's not there nobody's making them uh make it regulations that themed and like around this stuff or whatever but very much in the vein of like dude three deals or mini golf would be so fucking cool mini golf menace and you can fuck with each other yeah that's the game
Starting point is 01:23:45 four player regulation golf exactly yeah yeah exactly it's that that to me would be if it's all budget and we have an idea and people are like executing on this thing look I don't know how to make a game and I don't know how to execute on that thing but if it's you know a pie in the sky idea then that would probably be mine is making that kind of thing because I think that would be a lot of fun that's a great idea thought on the just a quick note on budget it's just funny timing i was talking to a friend yesterday and they asked about uh podcast budget and that type of thing and and brought up this item for us to acquire that is so absurdly like so out of the realm of any possibility it was like a fair ride and i was like no that's fucking like no like
Starting point is 01:24:29 that's absurd what are you talking about and then they replied oh don't you know you what, you needed the Warner money for that to make that happen. And I love that perception because at the end, I couldn't get us new Xboxes. The premise that we had the Warner money at any point to buy a fair ride is hilarious to me. I mean, you bought the Port-a-Potty yourself, right? That was never even a- I was out of pocket. Moving on to the next question by Will. Will there be a Russian fuck hat patch for the patch hat?
Starting point is 01:25:01 Also for Jeff, long time since we've had an update. How are your teeth slash jaw doing? I'll say yes. I'm a thumbs up for the patch idea if the other guys are okay with it. I think it's on the list of potential. There may have even been a mock up of it already because we had, I think, like 10 or 12 mocked up initially.
Starting point is 01:25:19 And then my mouth's fine. It's great. I was having those issues. I think it was due to clinching my jaw. I've been using a mouth guard. Just recently, the issues started on the other side of my mouth. but I recognized it went to the dentist
Starting point is 01:25:35 just to make sure there's nothing there and I think it's all just related to stress and so I'm learning not to clinch my jaw and to relax, thank you. Nice. Good work. Awesome. Yeah, I'm all for the Russian Fluk hat thing. I just, I don't that design is like
Starting point is 01:25:49 a spell to me. I don't understand, because it was a random accident. I don't, I always don't understand how we can recreate it. I don't know how they did it the first time. That's why I am never personally pushing for it because I just don't understand how we could even do it. They recreate it pretty well for the shirt and the hat we made. They sure did. If we have
Starting point is 01:26:08 those assets, I guess we can just reuse them, but that is always the hold up in my mind. I love the idea of selling a patch that was a hat and a shirt that could be stuck on a different hat and a different shirt. I completely agree. That's so many layers deep. It's almost hard to think about. It's pretty good. We are running a bit long. So maybe I'll do like one or two more. There's so many amazing questions. Thank you so much to all the Falcons who submitted them. Here is one for Mr. Fedora.
Starting point is 01:26:43 A lot of people make clips, highlights, and compilations of your work. How do you guys feel about that, obviously unmonetized? Do you find they help draw people to your work, steal views from you, steal views from you, or is it just something that comes from being an online presence for so many years? Do these kinds of things annoy you guys or does it not matter to you? I've always seen that as like a great indicator. of a, of a thriving community, to be honest. Absolutely. I agree.
Starting point is 01:27:07 Yeah, I love it. I think it's so cool. I think it's great. Our views aren't that precious. No, that, but we really said that like when we were starting this company, we're like, we're not going to try to like chase it. We have to be mindful of an algorithm, but we're not trying to chase an algorithm. We're not trying to chase views with like what we're doing.
Starting point is 01:27:25 We need to be mindful of like what we're doing, but we can just, we make what we want to make and do what we want to do here. And I think that, I don't know how you guys feel about this. But people are like, oh, you know, they make compilations and it's like unmonetized. Me personally, I don't care necessarily if it's monetized or not. I don't feel like you're taking money out of my pocket. I think you're doing a real service by like getting these compilations to do stuff and whatever. So more to me, you know, it's obviously going to be a case by case thing.
Starting point is 01:27:54 If it's, it turns into some other, I know with other channels at other points, it turned into like, yeah, I make these compilations and here's my Patreon and then like, you know, getting upset with people that are watching like these other videos. I've just seen it happen in other communities. As long as it doesn't broach that, it's like, I just make the video. I think it's great. If it's striking you creatively that you want to compile and do those things, more power to you. I think it's phenomenal. And thank you very much. The compilations that the audience makes, in my opinion, is always better than anything that we would produce ourselves. Absolutely. I totally agree with that.
Starting point is 01:28:27 We've been down this road before in the past with Achievement Hunter and Gavin is 100% correct. For whatever reason, the compilation that the audience makes is always going to be better and better received than the compilation that the creator makes. So you do a better job than we could capturing what it is that you like about the show versus what it is we think you like about the show that we clip together for you. But in addition, at the end of the day, I think the easiest way to look at it is just make no mistakes about it. audience. We are a Patreon-driven show. We exist because of the patrons on Patreon who pay for us every month. YouTube to us is an advertisement. It is a commercial. We put our videos up on YouTube to find audience, to let them know about us so that hopefully they will go to Patreon at some point. If not, that's cool. They can still enjoy it on YouTube. But at the end of the day,
Starting point is 01:29:19 it doesn't matter to me if they're watching your compilation video of us on YouTube or us on YouTube. It's both of them are commercials for us. The biggest battle that we have, and we've talked about, I don't know how much we've said kind of externally or whatever, some, but internally, the biggest battle that we have as a company and, like, as a show is that nobody knows that we're doing this. And you're looking at views and everything, you're like, oh, people know, people are listening and all this stuff every day.
Starting point is 01:29:48 Oh, I didn't know Jeff and Gavin were making videos still every day, every single day. It, like, it is such an uphill battle to inform in all. audience that wants to see this stuff but they have no idea about it and like that's it's hard and so like these compilations reach a different audience and and i'm all for it i think they're great absolutely i think it's also like on top of just the uh willingness and and like the enjoyment of the thing so much that you want to make a compilation for it is uh incredibly touching and appreciated i think by all of us as well as just on like a it's a weird personal thing of largely what we do is comedic, like 99% of it. So the idea that like any of us could say
Starting point is 01:30:32 something that made someone laugh so much or just enjoy that moment so much that they want to clip it and then share it with other people is so just absurdly touching in sort of a unique way. It's a very gratifying and humbling thing. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. It means that some, the idea that some dumb thing you said has some sort of value, you know, I mean? Yeah. The final question by Jack Leinhardt. What's the most complicated post-production process
Starting point is 01:31:04 y'all had to deal with? To me, immediately what comes to mind is Mario Party March, but I'd love to know, Nick, if there was something on the production side for you that was just a fucking nightmare that, like, might not be obvious that it was a disaster. I'm trying to think.
Starting point is 01:31:20 That was probably the most intense thing that we did was either just gathering all the files and figuring out how to post for either the Advent calendar or Mario Party March. But Mario Party March was also one of those complications
Starting point is 01:31:35 just because it was so many different R files. We had the Craig backup and if you know what Craig is, it's basically a recording system for Discord. So it's just, it's lesser quality but it's still better than nothing. Yeah. Yeah. And then also just getting the video from
Starting point is 01:31:51 that. I would say sometimes times when we do certain streams being able to like we ran into this issue recently where we're trying to figure out audio settings when we have to stream
Starting point is 01:32:09 through Discord. Actually, you know what? A really good example of this happening in real time was when we did the Donkey Kong stream because we found out very quickly that Andrew's machine wasn't quite able to handle what the 2K stream that initially was doing and then after that
Starting point is 01:32:28 we pivoted to him sharing his screen with us through Discord and I stream that and then being able to utilize that his actual recording from that for the VOD as opposed to using the live stream that I put out just because it had better video and it also has the audio from the game
Starting point is 01:32:48 so those are probably the most complicated things even though they're like the usual quick turnaround things is just figuring out how to plug and play all that stuff after a live stream because it's a quick turnaround absolutely does anything jump up to you guys
Starting point is 01:33:04 yeah no nothing that we've really done it's like things that we've recovered like we did a Jeff Gavin and I did a FBC Fire Break 4 which is one of the rare things we lost just completely because I didn't have footage I think Gavin didn't have footage
Starting point is 01:33:24 audio was broken like it just it fell apart it was piece by piece it was only my video and then two audios I think yeah
Starting point is 01:33:35 so it's like we have those where it's just like they're disasters but not recoverable recoverable but in the sense of like what is something
Starting point is 01:33:42 that was a nightmare that we're able to make work um it get getting that guillotine in the fucking room uh
Starting point is 01:33:50 Andrew, when we did, when you and Jeff and I ended up watching the Pink Panther, for whatever reason, when we were capturing the wheel, that we lost that footage. And it's like, that's the whole impetus for the episode, right?
Starting point is 01:34:11 It's about spinning the wheel to see what you're going to end up watching that week, right? Because it's about remakes of good movies and we're watching the potentially bad remake of that movie. But the whole thing was, we were we picked it landed on one thing that we did not have access to which led to us spinning it again and landing on pink panther that was completely lost so i had to recreate that moment visually but uh it's like re-spin the wheel until it landed on pink panther yes but on my third try it landed on pink panther and then i spun it again i'm sorry on the third try it landed on the initial one it landed on for us and then on the very next spin that i did because it was just a continuous file that i was doing it landed on Pink Panther in the exact same time that
Starting point is 01:34:52 which is insane it is insane what's funny is that the way that you so I sent you all the information the reshoot that you did was not how the wheel looked when we did it you put it in in a different way so there were comments of people
Starting point is 01:35:08 I don't remember what it was there comments of being like Andrew's acting like this when visually like what's he talking about and it's like you are not seeing like it is a recreation but it is not recreated in the way that it was when we recorded it. That's great.
Starting point is 01:35:25 That's so funny. With stuff like that though, I feel like I'm fine just having a little disclaimer being like, oh, we lost this footage. This is a recreation, just so people are less confused. That's a good idea. It wasn't that they were confused. It was that they were like annoyed with me or something. I like it if it's going to make them annoyed with Andrew.
Starting point is 01:35:41 It was maybe not even annoyed. They were just confused, I think, when, I don't know. I don't remember. I just remember reading some of the comments. It made you like dumb. Yes. It was like, this is what you guys. are seeing is not actually what we saw i'm not stupid not like everybody says
Starting point is 01:35:56 that's the end of a great sausage talk thank you all so much for the questions and i don't think i have anything else to add in terms of sausage making i have one other thing but i know we're running along i apologize but uh forgot forgot to bring it up earlier uh we were talking about doing uh more live streaming and i just wanted to update people sort of like what we've been talking about in the background of like we want to live stream more do those things live somewhere what you know what is this how does it go like whatever we talked about uploading them to youtube later in unlisted and putting them in a playlist of like hey here's like all these like live streams that we did is that something that you guys want is that something that we should be
Starting point is 01:36:43 doing we're trying not to get slammed to algorithms because we don't it doesn't really matter but we need to like raise awareness and when we have like these longer game plays like just to be very transparent when we had a lot of fun watching nick play last of us and apparently none of you did because just views wise was not crushing so it's like we still want to be able to do that and where does it go i think it's less about algorithm too and more just about clutter you know yeah it's clutter the main more of the main concept super visible yeah yeah because it's gonna be be there are going to be live streams some weeks we might do three like it might just be you know and nick it might just be you know who knows but but like we need we need to be aware of what we're doing and we want to make you aware of what we're trying for and i think unlisted playlist on youtube might be the move but we're not haven't really like landed on it landed on it yet yeah that was the thing where we had all these different ideas of how to approach it and then somebody in the community suggested that as a solution and it seemed like the people
Starting point is 01:37:49 perfect fix for it, but I don't know how any of that stuff works. So, like, on the surface, if you, like, if I'm totally fine with what was discussed or pitch. People, people are saying that it doesn't, doesn't really have an effect on the algorithm and discoverability of other videos. So I think it's, it's a perfect solution. And then you get all the benefits of the YouTube player without having it on some weird second site. The only hang up that I could see is that say we're doing this in a year down the road, someone wants to see one of the, one of the the videos or whatever and they go oh fuck what live stream was that from there's no way for it to be discoverable like you can't search for it it's just in an unlisted format in a playlist that's the
Starting point is 01:38:31 only hiccup that i can see for like the whole thing because i know a lot of people love to rewatch that stuff but if that's sort of like the thing we're willing to give up then that just might be the solution that we're looking for yeah i think of all the options is the best one consider it given up. Can we even do it by like year? Can we make like a playlist that's like Vod's 2025? Yeah. Oh, that's a good idea.
Starting point is 01:38:57 That's a really good idea. Yeah. Okay. See, look at that. Sausage talk, maybe solved a problem. That's great. Hey. Crazy.
Starting point is 01:39:04 Yeah, first time for everything. Hey. I think that's it. I think that's it. No, I'm good. It's a long one. Jeff, do you want to wrap up this sausage? Yeah, I'd be happy at that.
Starting point is 01:39:16 squeeze it into its intestinal lining casing and then spin it around and say thank you so much for listening to another episode of regulation content.
