Hello and welcome to another episode of the Regulation Podcast. This is episode 24. My name is Jeff Ramsey with me, as always, Nick Schwartz, Eric Badoor, Andrew Panton, Gavin Free. Hello. 24.

That feels low. That's a big sigh. Why are you sad? Shut myself. Jesus, that's a fucking gate. Just immediately. Just immediately taken it there. Something I've never done before. Maybe my first one in a in a decade. Just immediately? Just immediately taking it there.

Something I've never done before. Maybe my first one in a decade. I shat my foot. Oh god. Wasn't ready for that. I'm not ready for it. I think generally. We can come back to it if you want.

No, we've already gone too far. I was not expecting that. I like that last week started with a picture of piss that wasn't actually piss and then I... Oh god. Yeah. No, do not show a photo of shit that's actually shit. Don't worry, I didn't take a picture.

It was horrendous. Jesus Christ. What happened? I was editing, having a little edit, and I thought, oh, little pumper there about to come out. Oh, God. Roll the dice on it. And it didn't actually feel like anything went wrong. It just felt like the beginning of a fart, but without the end.

I was like, oh, and then then I looked down, shat my foot. It blew through the old undies, it blew through the shorts. And I sat on my foot, because I'm just in my chair. I just shat on the palm of my foot. I don't know what that bit's called. What's the palm of your foot called? Middle of my foot. I don't know what that bit's called. What's the palm of your foot called? Middle of my foot. Had to hop to the bathroom. I don't like it. Just terrible. What do you do? Do you just crawl into the bathtub or do

you stick your foot in the toilet? Like, how do you, what do you do? What's the move? I just got straight in the shower. Yeah. Yeah What a way to start your day did it get on your chair No, if I hadn't been sat on my foot. Oh, Nick says barefoot or socks. It was through socks So you shit underwear pants and socks. Yeah, underneath of sock. Something I've never done. I feel embarrassed. I don't even know why. I had Chinese food.

I don't think that's the reason. Were you editing something for this or a different thing? Different thing. OK. Was it disturbing? Yeah. No, I mean, the thing you were editing, not shitting yourself. Yeah, I showed it to you last week, remember? Oh, well maybe that's why you shit yourself.

You scared yourself into shitting yourself? You disturbed yourself into self-crappulence. Self-crappulence is a great combination. Is that the name of the episode? I think it is. And it is going to be real tough to beat. 24 self-crappulence. Anyone else got any notes?

It's like a softer version of self-immolation as a protest. In protest, a bunch of people just fill their pants. Just shit themselves in public. I have a technical note. I learned something. Just fill that. It's just shit themselves in public. I have a technical note. I learned something. OK, we're talking about emails. Last week, my email problems. I have learned a very useful email feature

that I have not been using, that has been a problem for me. Go ahead. So, you know, when when somebody let me I screen shot it, I had Eric send me an email a moment ago before we before we did this. I was complaining to my partner that when you get an email and sometimes, you know, emails can be substantially long. That when you hit reply.

Everything goes away and you just see this. And then I would have to try to remember what it is that the person said and what I was replying to. So sometimes I would copy and paste emails and then drag them into my notes app so I could reflect so I could See what was being said and reference it and writing my replies. You're not built for a corporate world Yeah, as I was making this complaint they click those three dots Oh, you mean the universal something's been shortened for your convenience.

Let's expand it. But typically there, I'm not even going to try to defend it. I just didn't know. I never clicked it. It always bothered me. I would sometimes I'd have to go back and forth from my drafts to the email, or I would copy and paste it. And this has been a real game changer for me this past week. So

you would paste it into the email? No, I would not. That would actually make even more sense. I would copy and paste the base email, take it to my notes app, post it as a note, and then write a reply in the notes app to the email and then copy and paste my reply. When it comes to getting around these problems with your band-aid solutions, I think you're a genius. You get around every problem that faces you. However, do you not think that most people wouldn't do that?

And there would clearly surely be a simpler way. It once again is how my brain works is this is an issue. Oh, I solved it. Why would there be an issue for the entire planet? Why would they? Why would that be there? I guess I just don't think about people in that way. I'll say this about Andrew and his approach to life. How how old are you now, Andrew? Thirty. Yeah, you're 30 years old.

So much of the world is yet undiscovered to you in a way that most adults don't get to experience. It's kind of like how I refuse to play PlayStation for like three entire PlayStations, and now I get to discover God of War and Uncharted and all of these games. And it's like a whole new world for me. That's you with just like life shit. And I bet that keeps you young. It was such an exciting moment to realize I could just reference

the email within the email, like knowing how to do that. But of course you can. Here's the thing that you can. I know that makes sense for me. It's always like a justification of I've done something to this that I just don't I don't understand, Or I've got a weird app or there's just I'm not thinking everyone is necessarily living the same scenario that I am, but I am living this scenario.

How can I remedy this? Did you know that in a lot of email apps, if you select text and then hit reply, it just quotes that selected text. I don't even understand the words you just said. Let me open up my email. She mail. I don't even understand the words you just said. Okay. Let me open up my email app. She-mail. Okay, so I highlight it and then I hit reply. Yeah. It did nothing.

Why, you were in the browser, right? No, I'm on the phone app. Oh. I'm exclusively a phone app email guy. I don't think I ever used the browser. Is that because you can't log in to what you called the Post-it stamp last time? And so you're kind of locked out?

The Safari Post-it stamp. Sometimes, well, and now it's just, if I need to check something, I'll Google Gmail and then I'll go through that one. What? Wait, what? You'll Google, hang on. You'll Google Gmail?

Yeah, you Google Gmail to get the Gmail. Oh, you just go to Gmail. Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff. You can just do not. Oh, do I like the name? No. What was your what's your browser? Chrome. I use Chrome. You see.

What was your what's your browser? Chrome. I use Chrome. You see. So the address bar, the address bar, right? Right. That's Google. Yeah. Type Gmail at it. I do. I just search Gmail and now I'm on the Google page. And now I'm on the Google page.

And then I click Gmail. I can't wait to do this supplemental. Yeah, we're doing a supplemental. I have notes of technical problems. That's a lot of man. We can we can streamline your life in such dramatic ways. Andrew, what are you going to do with your extra time? I bet I can free up at least an hour a day for you. Really? your life in such dramatic ways. Andrew, what are you going to do with all your extra time? I bet I can free up at least an hour a day for you.

Really? Yeah. What are you going to do with it? What do you never have time for? Uh, what do I never have time for? I'm pretty good at finding time for things. Do you have a, do you have a thing where it's like, ah, I need like a good chunk of time to do that. I haven't started it yet. Uh, I mean a few of those, yeah.

I mean, I hear good things about one piece, but that's long. It's a lot of shows. It's a lot of like big season shows. I've been meaning to go through Seinfeld again, but that's a lot of seasons. I'm nine. See, it's a lot. TV series are intimidating to me, so I'd probably watch a different show. I'd probably add a new show to the list. I wasn't expecting your answer just to be I'll watch another show.

I'm pretty good at finding time for the stuff that's important. Gavin, you've given me the gift of below deck Mediterranean I guess more time with family. I don't know what's what's the answer you would like? What do you want for me here? Because I'm willing to say that I now have time now that I have time for things Gavin How do you think I should use this time that you've gifted me? I'd use it however you want.

I just thought you would say, oh, there's like a DIY project. So I need to clean this thing. Yeah, I want. Oh, yeah. I mean, yeah, I could do some cleaning. That's fair. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you can always clean. Dust is endless. It just keeps coming. Uh huh. You're not really selling him on Dust is endless. It's just it keeps coming

You're not really selling them on on speeding and improving his life if you're Your big winning point here Gavin is like I'm gonna give you so much more time to clean throughout the day Well, he needs to clean Everybody needs to clean. Yeah, it's not I mean Are you like ankle deep in your own shit in cat piss right now? Yep Stay on top of it there. It's already gone. I My I'm sitting four feet from where my dog threw up an hour It was such a fluid morning five minutes before we started recording

Predator oh Andrew what you sound at the moment? the moment? I got a new chair that sucks. It's terrible. Oh. Terrible chair. I don't know what I'm gonna do. I think we can fix your, uh, your home in Miller. I, there's apparently like a code or something on it that you can call. I need to check that.

There also were a ton, I saw the subreddit thread about it and there were a ton of suggestions of, uh, chairs that might work for you. I saw them. I saw that subreddit thread about it and there were a ton of suggestions of Chairs that might work for you. I saw in there. I saw that yeah Yeah, I like that you would immediately after that conversation came up with a thing that you need time to do Oh, I should do that. I should look Where did you get your current chair from then, Andrew? Amazon. Oh, yeah. Unfortunate. It's an unfortunate decision. What's what's lacking about it? It's I'm proportionally weird and it just doesn't.

It just doesn't fit my lifestyle. Doesn't fit me in a way that is comfortable. Doesn't fit your long back. It's yeah, it's comfortable. Doesn't fit your long back. It's yeah, it's the combination of short legs and long back. And the way that the seat is shaped, it just is not working. I'm sitting on like the front of the seat. It's sort of imagine like a seat that I could just put a photo of the seat. It looks a lot comfier, though.

But think, have you ever seen those Instagram ads where they you you buy that product, they send you the the sheets of like weird blue gel and you put your feet in the gel and then you send it back to them and they give you like a foot insert that's perfectly molded to you to like help with, I don't know, like sciatica or whatever foot pain you think it should lie down in one? I'm wondering if there's a chair version of that for Andrew, where you go and you sit into it and then you sink into like the weird goop and then it solidifies like silicone or whatever and then they build a chair out of that mold.

I feel like you'd get suctioned in though. It'd be hard to get out of it. Well, I'm sure they have the technology. So you see that front like ass lip on it? Yeah. Oh, wow. Yeah. I have a hard time like clearing. I end up on that a lot because my legs hit the chair. Are the arms too narrow? No, they're fine. Arm's fine.

How important is rolling? Well, yeah, that's the problem. The chair rolls away from me when I try to sit on it. Because if you're having trouble because your legs are short, why don't you just take the wheels off of it? Because then it just it's like skids, right? Are you on its lowest setting? I am. Yeah. Why don't you get one of those plastic chair mats for the ground so you don't scuff your floor up?

That's not a bad idea. And then you could take the wheels off and then it'll be lower to the ground and it can't scoot away from you. That is not a bad idea. Have you tried pushing the chair against a wall, then getting in it and shimmying back over to the desk? I kind of do that already with the bed. I use the bed behind me.

Uh, the bed slowly inches closer towards the desk with every night, and then I have to push the bed back. But there are times in which the bed is directly behind the chair, and it makes it very easy to do that. Has the uncomfortable chair been causing more tub time than normal? No. Well, no, that's not true. Yes. Only because I only because it's like I want to. Does the chair exacerbate any other issues?

Like, how are the ankles in? It's great. Everything is great. It's just all but pain. It's not comfy. It's not comfy to sit on. But you're not you're not like overcompensating in another area And then you know like weakening your knees or ankles or anything like that. I know that I'm aware of okay Good good good good good all good Speaking of pain though. I saw something that I feel would be very validating you Jeff

I don't know if you've seen this is your big Howard Stern guy There's Howard Stern Interviewing 50 cent about what it feels like to get shot in the face? You seen this clip? No, I have not. I mean, I remember I remember the interview from like 20 years ago or whatever. I remember that it happened, but I don't remember the specific he was asking 50 Cent what it was like

to get shot in the face and how painful it is. 50 Cent was having a hard time articulating the specifics of that. Yeah, it's that interview that Eric just posted a photo of 50 cent talks, getting shot nine times, talking, struggling to discuss like the specific feel of getting shot in the face, what it is like and equating it to pain. And in the process of trying to explain it, he was like, it doesn't necessarily hurt an extreme amount. Like going to the dentist and getting a root canal is significantly worse.

Hell, yeah. You have experienced worse pain, Jeff. I've been shot getting shot in the face the last three years. It's incredible. You've made it through a lot. No more mouth bullets for me. But that's that is exceptionally validating, Andrew. Thank you. No, no more drive by candy towards me, please. I see. It's like an adrenaline thing.

Maybe. Yeah. And I just don't know. Are there a lot of pain sensors in your face? Pain sensors? Nerves? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Listen, we were just playing Predator. OK, I'm big on the pain sensor. That's my build when I play Predator. The pain sensors, aka nerves.

It was clear what I was talking about. I got it completely. I got it. I'm on your side. I understood. Don't nerves sense pain? On a technical level, didn't I describe them correctly? 100%. I guess they feel pain. I understood. Don't nerve sense pain on a technical level. Didn't I describe them correctly?

100 percent. I guess they feel pain. They don't really sense it. It's not like pain's coming. Receptors. Oh, just like if you wanted to buy food, you could go to a food store. That is true. I mean, I don't know.

Like, do you mean a grocery store or there's some confusion? I guess anything could be a different kind. Yeah, that's fair. I have plenty of other notes. I just I was pausing for a minute to let you guys interject. You just keep going on notes I have. I got one note and it's so bad, I don't think I'm going to say it. So, OK, well, I have a thing I'm very excited to talk about. We're all idiots. We're dumb.

How did none of us just Google Gmail? No. How did none of us Google Regulation Store? Have you seen all the posts about what happens when you just Google Regulation Store? Why would you Google Regulation Store? Why would you Google it when we gave you

like three URLs? We're not stupid, Andrew. I want to be really clear. We're not. I'd say it was taken. Yeah, we did say it was taken. And we say go to regulation store dot store or regulation store dot com.

Yeah, I feel like we're incredibly clear. I'm not sure why you would Google it. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You wait because I don't know why we would give you a URL and then you would Google it. I just, the fact that none of us tried just to see what would be there is, I think, wild, that none of us tested it just to see. Maybe someone did.

I certainly didn't. That is how I Google things. Like, I am the person that would search in that way, and it did not cross my mind. It sounds like the point of failure in this was you. Yeah, I don't know. What else should we have Google? Like, just try Google it once just to see. Like, I don't know. What else should we have? Google, like just try Google at once just to see. Like, I don't think we did anything. I think everything is correct. It's the fact that I was blindsided by the fact that when you search

regulation store, it leads to a bondage sex shop in the UK, which is perfect. And that's what a regulation store in the UK is. Is it? Can you confirm? Gavin. Is that the base store? It's that and pubs and cherry shops. You buy bondage gear at a Greg's. I just googled regulation cup and it took me to golf supply direct dot com.

Is that something we're going gonna have to contend with when we release the Gerpler? No, cause we don't have any regulation cups. What are you talking about? We will. We will, planter. Come November. What I'm saying is that I firmly stand by this

that we only gave URLs. I don't know why you would Google regulation store when we gave you two URLs to go to. It's crazy. That is the craziest way for people to go. Also probably I've never done it, but probably don't Google Gerpler. Oh, Gerpler's probably a real bad one.

I don't think that's gonna get you anything you're looking for. Something to think about, I guess. I'm just gonna go on a whim. Now I gotta do it. Yeah, what is Gerpler? Is.gerpler available? It's pretty wholesome.

It's just a bunch of pictures of the Gerpler. It's mostly just us. Oh, it's us. We've claimed it. We've got it. We own it. Hell, yeah. But this is how we're going to take regulation store by Googling it also.

So I stand by. We did nothing wrong. We are smart and I blame everyone else. The end. Yeah, fair enough. I was just shocked by it. What a weird name for a sex shop. It's the most mundane word.

That's probably what they were going for. I guess so. I think it's why the guy picked James Bond is the name, even though he's a spy. It's like the most boring name you could find. You mean the author or would like within universe? Yeah. Ian Fleming looked at his books and there was like a bird watching book by someone called James Bond. James Bond is a bird watcher?

Wait, I don't know about, I don't know about any of this. That's why he chose the name and the guy watches birds? I think it's something like that. I think it was like an ornithology thing. He's Fleming. James Bond. If you're if you're Googling this, you need to be careful. It might take you to a sex shop. You never know.

Uh, don't don't Google James Bondage. Oh, this isn't just this is him explaining the character, which is not what I want. Bond was a compound of all three of all the secret agents and commando types I met during the war. That is not a birdwatcher. I'm here for birdwatching. I'm here for books because it's interesting because James Bond, I would argue now is a very cool name, but because of the character,

he cooled it up. It's hard to imagine a time in which James Bond was viewed as a lame name according to Google's AI Overview Ian Fleming the creator of James Bond chose the name for his fictional secret agent from the cover of Birds of the West Indies by American ornithologist James Bond fucking James Bond is American you bitches We're taking him back. I wonder if and or when they learn that they were James Bond, that they were sourced for James Bond, if he was a liar. Yeah, that's if they were alive and also like when Ian.

I don't know when that came out, but that was how they came up with the idea for that name. Let's look up ornithologist Because I would never personally like even if I wrote a ball dude this guy's fucking awesome. Yeah, you found a picture of him Oh, dude, I'm about to send it to you. Hold on. Are we going to get brim lead? Oh This guy's pretty cool Pretty fucking cool. Now. That's that's a guy who could take on odd job and jaws at the same time. Dude, he definitely knew. This motherfucker lived from January 4th, 1900 to February 14th, 1989.

Holy shit. He had to have known. He lived longer than he did in Fleming. Philadelphia. F fictional namesake. Oh, it's even in his bio. The spy James Bond wrapped in Dr. Doolittle, which is a combo I'd never considered, but I really like. James Bond just sending birds after a job stealing his hat.

Flying away with it, so he can't use it anymore. That's so I had no idea, Gavin. That's a great fact. That's not bad. Fleming wrote to the real James Bond's wife. It struck me that this brief, unromantic Anglo-Saxon and yet very masculine name was just what I needed. And so a second James Bond was born.

He did not contact the real James Bond about using his name in the books. James Bond was born. He did not contact the real James Bond about using his name in the books and Bond did not learn of Fleming's character until the early 1960s when Fleming's James Bond books became popular in the US in 1964 during Fleming's annual winter stay at Goldeneye in Jamaica Bond and his wife visited Fleming unexpectedly. Oh, that's cool. Oh, that's so cool. They dropped it on him. Because that must be such a weird feeling to be like, oh, there's this new franchise and the main character has my name. And then suddenly being like, oh, he's literally named after me.

It keeps going. In his novel, Dr. No, Fleming referenced Bond's work by basing a large ornithological sanctuary on Dr. No's Island in the Bahamas. In 1964, he gave Bond a first edition copy of You Only Live Twice signed to the real James Bond from the thief of his identity. That is so weird in a great way. What a strange thing. That is a thing that nobody would ever believe if you told them conversationally. OK, I'm not going to kill you guys with these, but I have one more that I have to read.

Please. James Bond's wife told Fleming that her husband saw use of his name for the character as a good joke, to which Fleming replied, I can only offer your James Bond unlimited use of the name Ian Fleming in return. Ian Fleming sounds like a funny guy. Yeah, he really does. All right. I'm done with James Bond stuff. But that was Gavin. That was awesome guy. Yeah, he really does. All right. I'm done with James Bond stuff. But that was Gavin.

That was awesome, man. That's really fascinating. It's such a strange. It is one of the most iconic characters in, I would just say, pop culture history. Like, his name is wild. And he was just on the hunt for like a Smith or something. I wonder if he I wonder if he was into Falcons at all. I bet he was. I bet he had one.

You think he had a Falcon? Ah, he must have. I love this regulation universe. Oh, we got to do another Falcon event soon. We should. We should. Yeah. Or next week. We're doing. Um, well, I guess the week that this comes out this week may have already happened. Think about all the great duos in comedy, whether it's like Key and Peel. that this comes out this week may have already happened. Think about all the great duos in comedy, whether it's like Key and Peel.

I mean, if you want to go all the way back, somebody like Abin Kastel, what's so important in comedy is having somebody to help nail the joke. Set it up. Someone else finishes just working together.

I enjoy I sometimes just refresh what Gavin just posted to you post. What is the weight? Now I'm here. I was seeing if it would if it were the dong dong me. What? Wait, what? Now I'm going to see if it would if it would don't don't me. What? It was like a snail getting electrocuted. What was it? No, it's gone now. I clicked on it really fast. What was that?

Basically, I've a clock has appeared in my in my garden. What's posted again? So I didn't mean to I didn't mean to override the conversation with this. I can tell what time of day is because of this. You have a snail. Is that what that or an unit? What is that unicorn inflatable llama? But as the day heats up, it gets more and more erect.

And then as it cools down, it goes down. So it's based on how how upright it is. I can tell what time it is. You have an erect sundial. It's the first naturally occurring sundial I've ever had. That's so funny. Oh, it's really funny. I kept walking past it in the morning and it would be all slumped over. And then I come back later. I'll be like, who inflated it?

Have you charted like the level of inflation per hour? Like, are you able to identify if I showed you a photo of it? Could you be like, that was 6 PM? Um, it's really only accurate between like 9 AM and noon. And then it's just, but I think it's just because it's so hot and the air expands inside and slightly inflates it. That's so funny. What a great sundial. Yeah, it's pretty good. And is there a way to do it? Is there like an actual product you can buy that tells the time with air? Air heat, air, air clock, air, air clock.

I just bought one of those alarm. Oh, I don't know. I that feels like a thing that should be part of that, but it's not. All this really tells me is if is it the afternoon yet? It's like an afternoon clock. And it's so inconvenient. You have to go outside or is there like a, you have like a you can view that from anywhere or? I mean, I've got a camera on it.

OK. Well, it's not as inconvenient. There's something funny about like waking up and then going outside of your home to see what time it is. Based on Lama inflation. The worst type of inflation in this modern world, Lama inflation. The worst type of inflation in this modern world, Lama inflation. I when I go to my news feed, I sometimes just scroll just to see if headlines capture me.

And how do you get to that news feed? Just I swipe left all the way on my phone. OK. OK. And then it's just a large thing. I got five health benefits of drinking carrot juice in the morning. How many benefits would it require before you started drinking carrot juice in the morning? Like what's the least amount of benefits you could list in a story? Well, like how many does it because five isn't doing it for me. I don't give a fuck about five.

What are the five benefits? I have no clue. Five ain't enough. What if they're five brand new benefits? Yeah, but they might be, it's not, they could be weighted by how beneficial they are. Not for me. It could, it might only take one. If it's like a triple dick length in two weeks,

that's the only benefit I need. No, I don't want that. I need, I need double digits before I even consider it. So you want at least 10 benefits. They have to be 10 carrot drinking benefits for you to even consider drinking carrot juice. You want 10 minor carrot drinking benefits more than three major ones?

Yeah, what if it was one major one? What if you could see in the dark? Okay, that's pretty cool. Okay, so if so, if there's one benefit, then you would drink the carrot juice. No, I actually wouldn't want to see in the dark Because sleeping would become just an annoyance. I would hate that You wouldn't be in bed at night thinking man, it's bright in here

It's like my eyelids look boring you can't even with night vision goggles. You can't see with your eyes closed But night vision goggles you can't see with your eyes closed. No, but night vision goggles are very bright I'm somebody who likes to sit in bed and slowly wind down as I fall asleep with my eyes open and then I phrase them in correct sleep I Phrased that poorly they fought they closed one they sleep, but I I'm just sitting there Enjoying the atmosphere of the the coves the cozy atmosphere and then I'll close my eyes with my eyes open

Then I'll close my eyes then my eyes open. Then I'll close my eyes, then I'll fall asleep. I've never, I've tried falling asleep when my eyes open just as a curiosity and I have not been able to. So, but you, so you wouldn't drink carrot juice if it let you see in the dark because when you fall asleep you have your eyes open until you close them. I think it would be the same experience as if you tried to sleep in a room with the lights on.

What if the second benefit of drinking carrot juice is the ability to turn off night vision to go to bed? That's just normalized. At that point, you just have normal eyes. Yeah, but the first benefit is still night vision. You can just toggle it like a light switch. How am I toggling in benefit? You blink three times.

Yeah, I blink a lot. You just control it like any part of your body. Yeah, it's like saying, how do I pick up my phone? Well, I first extend my arm. How do I breathe? You just do it, dude. That's not true. I think about breathing quite a bit. Because I should hear you should start drinking carrot juice, man. I hear that breathing from the gut is the way to that's the optimal.

How do you hear? Do you think about hearing before you hear? Do you just hear that? I turn your night vision off. OK. And it makes your and it makes your poops better in. It's one of the third benefit. I think this might also be sort of slanted because I was traumatized by carrot juice as a child. I didn't know what I was getting into when I tried it the first time.

I was not prepared for it. I was a neighborhood lemonade stand and they were selling a bunch of things. And one of the things they had was carrot juice because the the person that lived there, they owned a restaurant. I'm assuming that's why they were so curious and that they had access to it. And I saw orange drink and I thought orange drink. I like orange. That seems cool.

That seems like a fun drink. And I went, I chugged it. All right. I took a big sip and it was just carrot. It was as advertised. So I wasn't mad at them, but it was jarring and not what I was expecting. And I have not forgotten that memory. So that put you off carrots for a while.

No, I love carrots. Favorite vegetable just as a drinkable form. No. Is it because your mind was expecting a different taste? Like I was thinking it would be kind of like sweet. Mm hmm. You were thinking fruit, but it was veg. Exactly. Yeah. I think I was just creating it because I really like carrots.

So I'm like, I love carrots. This would be great. What's your favorite way to eat a carrot? Oh, I like a long way did You like roast it so you prefer a cooked carrot over a rock cooked Oh definite cooked with some rosemary on it mmm a bit of olive oil Mmm, just can't beat the crunch of a raw carrot. Oh, yeah, I just explained how you could beat it

It's like a crack. I don't know I I just cooked carrots on Monday and they were pretty good. You put a little bit of brown sugar on them so they get all caramelized and they're sweet. Do you think if you had like a high quality mic and you recorded the sound of somebody biting into a raw carrot, could you just differentiate that and home run swings like bat cracks? Oh, home runs versus fruits and vegetables. Yeah. Home runs versus carrot bites with the carrot. That'd be less cheering. Well, you could put the carrot.

We could share could be an away game. The silence could have been Max Muncie last night. I wonder if you think if if I cooked five carrots to different amounts of time and I just played you the cracks, do you think you could? Oh, definitely. Put them in order of rawness by. Oh, yeah. Easily. I've eaten so many fucking carrots in my life.

I've been training for this. I know my carrots. This is actually like a burger level confidence thing for me. This is interesting for a guy who knows his carrots, who's been training for this his whole life, won't drink carrot juice for five benefits. No, because it's terrible, tastes awful. You might just need to add something to it.

Bit of ginger or something. I don't want it, I don't want ginger. Ooh, ginger's good for you, too. How many benefits? There's a lot of benefits to ginger. Did you actually read what the benefits were? No, I saw five and I said, that's not nearly enough. Then I screen-shotted it and I thought everyone would agree.

OK, what if it just extended your life by two years? Hell yeah. Oh, that's pretty good. But it doesn't. It's not going to. How do you know? You didn't read it. But it's not. Listen, if carrot juice could extend your life by two years, carrot juice would be the

new Coke. Is it true that it turns you orange if you have too much? Oh, there's nine health benefits. Wow, nine? That's almost 10. We gotta find 10 health benefits of carrot juice. No, do not find, because then I have to consider it. 10 is my baseline.

While we're discussing the benefits of carrot juice, can I just mention, I went to a birthday party over the weekend, a grownup birthday party for a grownup. Yeah. And they had a birthday cake and it was carrot cake. And that's such an odd choice to me for a grown-up to choose for their own birthday. Really? I like carrot cake too. I just don't ever associate it. I associate it with like kids with allergies at their birthday but, like, do I associate it with, like, a grown-up choosing

that for their own cake on purpose. Oh. Yeah, what is the vital... Okay, here's the problem. Here's the problem. These are benefits of carrots, not carrot juice. I'm looking at this top 10. I eat carrots all day.

It says benefits of carrot and its juice. What are the vital benefits of carrots? And then the one about the one the one above that that Nick sent is 10 health benefits of carrot juice. So we've given you two different things. So that way you go get some carrots and drink them down, bud. OK, here we go. I site healthy.

It increases your immune system. We could all use that. It prevents cancer. It's filled with antioxidants It can help avoid sunburns. Big problem in Canada here. It's good for your heart. You love your heart. Keeps you hydrated I think potentially you should do carrot November Bzzz. A lovely glass of carrot juice every morning. No. Carrot November. No, I'm not, not anymore. Yeah, carrot November. It's so easy. Let's all do carrot November. We'll help Andrew out. I hate it. No Let's all do carrot November Juice I don't give a shit. I like carrot juice. I got no problem with this Yeah, what are we gonna do drink carrot juice every day for the month of November?

I'll do it. We'll see we'll see if the podcast get better throughout the month. What about okay? How about? One of the either next pod or the pod after I will try carrot juice and do a reevaluation. I'll go into it with an open mind. I like still into the idea of drinking carrot juice every day for a month and see what happens. I'm not very good. I need to baby step into this water.

It turned orange when I was a baby. That happened to me. Did you? That was that was some heavy drinking, though, right? Yeah, when I was a baby, I got I got really sick from all the heavy drinking. No, I was eating, I ate like a lot of carrots or whatever, and I got orange-ish. But it's reversible? Yeah, I mean, it's just in your skin, and then your new skin comes and you're fine. It's in your skin.

It's in your skin, and then you have new skin. You take off the old skin, you put on the new skin, and it's fine. It's a tattoo from the inside? Yeah, absolutely. Yeah skin and it's fine It's a tattoo from the inside. Yeah Yeah, but it's temporary Well with as much as Andrew already eats carrots He's clearly built up an orange tolerance, so it won't be a concern for him if he drinks it every day for a month I just can't wait for to carrot November is gonna rock. Well excited about carrot November

Wait, fuck dude, and we're promoting health to the audience to look at us Look at us Nick look at us Hang on let me Google carrot November and see if it takes me to a fuck store or whatever hang on November plan of the month is carrots Wow The edible plant of the month for November is carrots Oh my God. It was meant to be. According to who?

Alachua County, another one from Florida Times Union. This is exciting. Wow. I don't know why you can't commit to 30 days of carrot. I want to. Oh, I'll eat carrots for 30 days. It's the juice part that I don't know about. Does it have to a morning? It's unfortunate because it's got to be the juice now. You can drink it whenever yeah Why would it have to be the morning?

The thing I said was for the morning specific so I didn't know No, I'd be okay with you drinking carrot juice at any point in the day. Yeah, I think it's fine You did you mix mix a little apple in there you got an apple carrot juice. Yum. Yum Nothing helps you get to sleep at night like a cold glass of carrot juice. That's what I do. You make that carrot juice. You sit there with your eyes open until they close and you go to bed. You know, you don't see my point of if you had night vision like that,

it would just be like sleeping with the lights on. Yeah, but in your scenario, I can turn it off as easily as I've granted myself these superpowers, so I just solve the problem. That's fair. I saw another thing that that made me laugh quite a bit. Let me find. Cued up. What are we doing? The kicker picker thing that's in a week, right?

We're repicking. Oh, we haven't lost this kicker. Yeah. Kicker picker thing that's in a week right where we're repicking oh yeah we haven't lost this kicker yeah kicker picker repicker yeah i thought i had it i thought i had it on the calendar kicker picker redraft is uh we have it scheduled for the 28th we can move it up if you need to but the 28th is when i have it scheduled i like i like the 28th why are we doing that because a bunch of kickers are hurt and we gotta reshuffle the deck. You just lost a kicker. You seem very concerned by it. Huh. You can keep your existing kickers, right?

You just picked new ones. Yeah, yeah. But no, no, no. Here's the thing. I don't think we have to redraw all of them. I think we have to do like a ranked order thing. Like whoever's in first can only like redraft one. And then whoever's in second can redraft two, three, four,

all the way to like the bottom so that way you can like really Sort like oh, no my kicker isn't the regular kicker And I think that'll help us sort of What's the current boarding? What's the standings? I think it's Eric Gavin Jeff Nick Andrew, maybe I was in the injury for quite a while. We're currently, here is the RegulationFan.com kicker picker. And hey, go to that, but if you're looking for a sex story, you're not going to find it at RegulationFan.com. Yeah, don't Google it, just go to RegulationFan.com.

It is Eric in first. At the time of this recording, which is the 17th of October, I'm in first with 275. Gavin is in second. Gavin, congratulations dude, you're doing great. 257. Jeff in third, 240. Andrew in fourth, 223. And Nick bringing up the rear, 180. And the reason for that is one of his kickers is released. So, tough.

Nick is going to need to do some rotating. Andrew's the same. He has one released kicker and then, uh, it looks like we all have our kickers, so we should be good, but you know, you can make a change. I love this site so much. Regulation fan.com. It has a picker picker and movie auction. It's just like slowly filling out with the, the, I imagine someone stumbling onto this website and be like, oh, what are they tracking? Yep. It's great.

It's fantastic. There also is a make your own draft on the regulation fansite. It's not the one that we typically use for our draft generator. That's the one that Sean Bear made over at regulationdrafts.github.io, but just a heads up. Which is also not a sex site.

Yeah. Google, Google is as much as you need. Speaking of a summer movie league and stuff relating to it, there's a story I saw that I can't I can't stop laughing about of a quote from Zachary Levi. Shazam stars, Zachary Levi ades Trump and move he calls career suicide. The Herald and the Purple Crayon guy is like, listen, I'm this is I'm making this is a dangerous move for me. Like his career couldn't be in a worse spot.

And the fact that they reference Shazam, which I believe is one of the, if not the biggest Warner Brothers superhero reference Shazam, which I believe is one of the if not the biggest Warner Brothers superhero bomb Shazam to the notion of your career being below zero and and making any statement of this is this is going to be a real problem for my career. Nobody's seeing your movies. Do you think if Shazam to didn't lose as much money or is the teeth would still be around? That's a great question. What do you think, like, where, like, where, what domino could have not fallen?

Or, like, just fall back slightly to the right and we'd still have jobs? How about this? Do you think if Rooster Teeth had done better, maybe Joker 2 would have had more money and it would have done better? Wow! Like, maybe we took down Joker 2 because Shazam took us down. And that's why I'm declaring that we're remaking Rooster Teeth. Meanwhile, Batgirls over here go, what about me? What about me? I want the Wile E. Coyote movie. Yeah, I want to see John Cena and Wile E.

Coyote. Those are my heroes. The tag team we've all been waiting for. They should be. They should be the tag champions at WrestleMania. John Cena and Wile E. Coyote. They need to put Wile E.ote in the wrestling games. How does a coyote? interact with a real Roadrunner How do you what do you mean? If you just put them together? What would they do? That's a good. I mean a coyote will probably try to eat the Roadrunner

That's what coyotes do. Okay, here. I googled... Uh oh. Oh no! Oh, that's what would happen. Yeah. Oh, that was... Yeah. I'm glad you got there before I could finish my Google search. That's depressing. I'm letting you. Roadrunner is very, very small.

Oh, a road... We have roadrunners in Austin. Have you never seen them? Show me one. Well, I mean, maybe I've seen one. I didn't know what it was. They're pretty fast Sometimes you'll hear them you'll hear a meet-meet, and then you'll look over, but all you can see is the cloud of dust There's dust you ever see dust in the shape of that bird. That's what it is Fuck is that bird painting? Bullshit That's such a cute bird. I love that. Oh yeah. Roadrunners are small. They're not big. They're just like little birds.

They just kind of go, they skitter. They run fast. That's all they do. We should draft animals that are cooler in cartoons. Have you seen a real wolverine? Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Tidy. Yeah. It's like they, I think they look kind of cool.

But then when you tell me that it's a Wolverine and it's, you know, Wolverine, that's not that cool. Here, if you had to, hang on, if you had to make a choice which Wolverine is for you? Furry guy or pop and claws? Yeah, pop and claws, baby. So they didn't name the road runner until roads were invented. Like Pokemon.

But like, what do you mean roads were invented? Do you mean like like pavement? No, like a Roman road. When were roads invented? Hang road. When were roads invented? Hang on. When were roads invented? First... Romans did straight roads, didn't they? They loved a good long road.

The earliest record of constructed roads date back to 4000 BCE. So, yeah. Pre-Roman. Definitely old. And I would think that a roadrunner probably would. When was a roadrunner discovered? That's a better search I was just googling roadrunner name and I just kept getting looney tunes. Yeah It was named the official bird of New Mexico in

1949 wait the roadrunner's name is beep beep his name is beep beep apparently Wait, the Roadrunner's name is Beep Beep? His name is Beep Beep? Apparently. What? Beep Beep the Roadrunner is his full name. What? That doesn't sound right. That's what Google's telling me. Found someone on Reddit.

What were Roadrunners called before there were roads? They're common throughout the Southwest and there are native languages that had some names, but a lot of them... Snake Eater was one of the... I'll have to melt your name. The scientific name is Geocoxics Californianus. Whoa. I hear that happens if you drink carrot juice.

Californianus. you drink California anus It ends in anus it's very sexual Yeah, she'll cockic six I don't think that's true because I looked up the coyotes also and that's not what I found carnivorous vulgaris is a coyote and incredible So I'm not sure what your source is but mines in black and white right there bud This is a coyote and it's a Roddy incredible. So I'm not sure what your source is, but mine's in black and white right there, but dream of California anus. Have you guys ever searched something and received the most opposite thing for what you're looking for?

Like what are there any distinct memories of like you put in a search for me? It was like I was looking for a movie. I didn't know if a platform had it. So I searched it and it gave me literally the furthest thing from the movie I request. Did you Google James Bond and you got an orthodox? I did. Yeah, I got a bird guy. I've been on a lot of flub to a whole syllable there, I think. I've been on a real Stallone kick.

So I was trying to watch some Rambo and I didn't know if this service would have it. So I put Ramone and I searched it. And the only thing it brought me back was Ramona and Beezus, which is not at all what I'm looking for. I don't really. Outside of the R.A.M. I mean, that has to be it.

But just totally. I can't imagine anyone searching Rainbow and then just going, Oh, Ramona Beezus. Sure. I'll watch that. Let's do that. Did you watch any of it? No, I just I was shocked. I was like, this is not at all the feel I'm going for. So be on the lookout.

I'd love to see if you guys ever encounter something like that. Oh, I did. I can't remember. I can't remember what I was searching, but I got a result that I was not expecting. Paste. We should do a game where we open up IMDB and we come up with a word and then we type that word into IMDB And then we have to watch one of the movies that's returned featuring that word. Ooh. I- whatever Gavin just posted what's going on? What happened?

I was searching something and the only thing that came up was a film called Slapher, She's French. I think we've covered it. Which I then couldn't find anything about online. Have we talked about that? I think, yeah. Potentially. From you. Yeah, we've definitely done it before,

because when I just Googled it, I've clicked on the Wikipedia for it, and it had to be from this. It was from the show. It sounded familiar. Weird. Yeah, I don't know what, I can't remember what I was searching there.

Nick just posted Angus, Thongs perfect snot. What is this? No idea. I was just flipping through movies and this popped up I thought that was quite British and that Gavin might be able to explain it sounds pretty British Snogging what's Angus in the UK? Yeah cow so cow underwear and perfect kisses Andrew you know what snogging is? What's snogging for 400 place? What make it out, make it out, make it out. Yeah, it's kissing.

That's a dirtier name than the act. I don't think those equal correctly. Yeah. Snogging sounds filthier than just making out. Snogging sounds like a thing they would sell at the regulation shop if you just Google regulation shop, like a five pack of snogging, a five pack of snog. Yeah. Snogging ring. This would not be I don't know.

There's something dirty about it. It's very odd. Yeah, I'm with you Hey, can I can I shift gears a little bit and ask a question? The new Mario Party came out is that something we're interested in is that something we're gonna do it feels like Today We have to we have to watch we have to watch Nick play Last of us and learn that he can save, but he knows he can save. At any point in time. Uh-huh.

So we gotta do it later, I guess. I don't know anything about the new Mario party. Is it supposed to be good? No idea, let's play it. People seem to like it. Yeah, we'll do that. Okay. I mean, you can't, I mean, is it,

are there five players or does it have to be four? Do I have to send out to you guys? Oh, it has to be four. Oh, you guys can play it while I'm not here tomorrow. We're heisting tomorrow. Yeah, we're heisting tomorrow. If you're not here, we have to play Grand Theft Auto. We could also just play more Grand Theft Auto if you want to. Eric has a problem.

Eric, it's not playing. We're not playing Grand Theft Auto. You're the president of the company, right? Yeah. Uh huh. Yes. All you want us to do is play GTA. Yeah, we're playing other games, though. Like, we're getting stuff done. We're recording the podcast.

He's going to do Last of Us. We played Predator, whatever. We didn't play any Grand Theft Auto today. The problem with Grand Theft Auto is we need an agenda. There's got to be a reason to play it. Yeah, we get in there and then Gavin remembers something from 13 years ago and we just play that. It's great.

It's worked for us so far. Gavin remember something from 13 years ago, and we just play that it's great Work for us so far that there's a very limited palette of those moments. I believe Surely we still haven't seen some of us stayed two and a half hours later to see and I think saw it eventually I am still missing a goddamn See I feel so bad for you Jeff. You didn't get to see the whatever you're talking about dude mmm spoiler See I feel so bad for you Jeff. You didn't get to see the or whatever you're talking about dude hmm spoiler Big spoiler. I'm not just bleep at all Didn't see that spooky bleep that I didn't collect one of the ten bleeps And then now I can't use the special bleep suit or the special bleep car.

I was walking around with Meg last week and we inadvertently just shat on Eric without intending to. What the fuck? What did I do? There was a guy at a store who had like white hair at a, it kind of looked like Eric. And then Meg was like, Oh, look, it's Eric in 40 years. And I looked at this guy and he must've been like, he must've been like 50 or something. It's Eric in 10 years. Yeah. It's a lot, it's a lot serious. That's, that's so nice of her to say Eric in 40 years. That's so kind. It, the gray doesn't

stop. It keeps going, does not go backwards. I got so much gray. I think it's less a function of time and more a function of podcasts. So I would say I would refer to it as more as how many Eric and 50 podcasts. Yes, that's about right. So a year, a year and 10 weeks. I don't know if it's in a recording. We're playing like a 360 thing. And I, I looked at my recent players on the 360 dashboard

because it's a separate dashboard to the modern day Xbox. And it was a bunch of GTA 5 and a bunch of game attacks. And it was like last seen. Oh, it's cause we're playing grow. And it said last seen 365 days ago. I was like, oh wow. It's like exactly a year. And then I noticed there was another five after it.

It was 10 years since I'd seen. Oh, my God. Wow. I can you guys want me to age Eric, I think a few years in a podcast. Yeah, no. I enough time has passed that I feel comfortable confessing this now. Oh, not in the moment. We had we had an passed that I feel comfortable confessing this now. Oh, God. Not in the moment. We had we had an issue that I realized, oh, boy, I could have really helped. And I did not.

Remember when we tried to play play Predator like weeks ago for the first time? Uh huh. And your setup was not working. Yeah. And so people were in. You're sharing your feed to see like your setup and and the guys. Everyone was like, oh, man, we could hear everything coming back. Yeah. I was I was part of that, but I was not in your stream and I was playing. I just loaded up a different game and I was playing it and they were going like, oh, I still hear it.

And I just went, no, I can't. That's weird. I wasn't in the street. oh, I still hear it. And I just went, no, I can't. That's weird. I wasn't in the straight. Oh, I'm true. I was like, I don't know if there's something weird with my idea. It wasn't enough time. Enough time hasn't passed. I agree. You're. We haven't even explained this fully yet.

We're so stupid. I want you kicked out of the company. We've we've talked around. We've talked around it, but it is definitely one of the dumbest things I've participated in professionally in my entire career and not in a good way. I got a Rodecaster Duo. It is a new audio deck so that way I can get better audio for the podcast and our recordings. When we set it up, I thought I had it routed the right way to hear everything.

I did not. So we came in and we're like, oh, we will reroute this stuff. Oh man, we're hearing all this. We're hearing all that. Your audacity was recording everything, right? Correct, correct. And then we all got, I'm like,

oh, well I'll share my screen on Discord and then we can poke around and see what it is and what we need to do, whatever. We did that for 49 minutes before realizing, oh, we can hear everything because we're what it was Nick, like playing a game or something that was like, oh yeah, we can hear this because, you know, watching the stream. Oh, we were basically trying to make it so that Audacity wasn't recording the Discord and the system sounds and everything else.

And we were disabling things one by one to the point where almost everything was muted. And we could still hear us, right? Through your thing. And that, yeah, it was just because we were listening to your computer. And it wasn't coming through Discord through you as someone on Discord. Most of us were listening to your computer. And it wasn't coming through Discord through you as someone on Discord. Well, most of us were listening to my computer. Well, that was happening. Some of us were fucking off.

No, I was I was testing to see if there is a game that'd be fun for us to play as a let's play. I was totally by that. And so I was trying to figure that out. And I was like, I am not going to be able to help whatever this is. I don't need to be doing this. Let me look at this game to see if this will be fun for us to play. Then why were you giving input? I wasn't. He really wasn't. He was pretty checked out.

I was. Yeah, I was just I was quietly trying to figure out the tutorial to this game. I wasn't checked out. I just knew I couldn't help whatever was going on. It was immediately apparent that Andrew was going to provide no. Yeah. In that situation. And so he did. He provided assistance in the best way possible by staying out of the way.

It's just that he inadvertently stumbled upon a really important piece of information that could have helped accelerate our path to discovering our own stupidity. I think the thing that we're not accurately conveying is just how genuinely depressing and embarrassing it was when we discovered our own folly. It was like, I felt really honestly bad about myself for a while.

Well, because the more people there are, the more you expect someone to figure it out. Exactly. Yeah. It was like when we were in those boats in Minecraft, Jeff, and we were following the compass north instead of remembering that it was taking us to our spawn. I was playing the game special delivery, trying to learn how to deliver packages to see if we could do this as a group and it would be fun.

And every once in a while you guys would be like, oh, I heard that. And I'd go on here nothing That's weird. Whatever. I just kept going My life that reminds me we got to play that cemetery game we do yeah that came out I have to I'll probably install that right after this is everyone in town next week. Yeah, yeah, yeah Wait hang on Nick said What Yeah. Yeah. Wait, wait. Wait, Nick said- Hang on, Nick said- I think so. I think so. What?

How do you not? You're the kid. You have to know ahead of time if you're in town or not. What do you? I think so? What's next week? Oh yeah, I'm in town. Yeah.

Oh my God. What? I don't understand how this company functions this way. Like- What are you talking about? Why did you- It's too easy, I'm gone. Your answer

sucked. There we go. That's two years baby. We just had in two years right there. Good work team. We went to Jack in the Box to order this food and I asked the guys if they wanted anything else and Nick just started going jalapenos and it was like they don, they don't just have jalapenos. And he just kept saying, he just kept saying jalapenos. And what he meant was jalapeno poppers. What that doesn't answer is what size, or like he just kept saying a single word. In theory.

It sounds like a real blue raspberry type situation. No, no, no, I'm on Nick's side here. Sort of, I'm sort of on Nick's side. He should be saying poppers, not jalapenos. I agree. But if somebody just says item. Just get the fucking large. No. Okay. I'm not on Nick's side at all.

You're assuming a medium. There's so much. Nick gave the least amount of information that everyone is supposed to just assume the rest of this thing. Are you in town next week? Maybe. What do you mean? That's such a gathered answer. Yes. Yes.

And I don't even do that anymore. Oh, I'm on top of my schedule these days. That's true. I wish you had my life and asked me that question. It's quoting me back to me. It's pretty good. That's pretty good. That's pretty good. Who are you closest to having a real argument with Eric in this company? In this one?

Uh, the other day it was you. Me? What did I do? Eight minutes after we launched the store. Eight minutes after we launched the store. Hey, should we do the design different? Are you out of your fucking mind? One, we already had that conversation.

We went through it. We talked all the way through it. We had that conversation. Eight minutes after the store launched, you wanted to talk about it again? I have to give all the credit in the world to Andrew and Jeff for just stepping in and going, it's fine.

I was going to fucking. Sometimes you got to sleep on it, you know, we're getting real sausage. Talk to you about the launch. Like, I don't understand. Hey, but it's tough to in life. We hadn't talked about it yet. No one knew about it. Oh, my. Oh, my. Typically, I would be on your side, Gavin, but we did have like

several extensive conversations about design and locking it in. I just I just had a last minute concern. I thought it was the good stuff. After we did it. Yeah. Some stuff happens after other stuff. The problem, though, Gavin, with what you did is what you vocalized is something I never thought. Oh, we're all happy. And then you did that. And then it was all I could think about for the rest of that day. Yeah, there's pointless. Hmm.

But I do have some ideas. I got some. Listen, I thought it was pretty funny. I would have felt worse if it was like face and I wouldn't. I wasn't in any of the meetings. I went to every I was in every discussion about it. I just felt differently afterwards. And I wasn't saying any of the meetings. I went to every I was in every discussion about it. I just felt differently afterwards. And I wasn't saying, let's change it.

I was just putting it. I was putting a new angle, a new question about it. Was was it? Sometimes it feels like you're just stirring the pot a little bit. Yeah, it kind of is. Do you think I'm just trying to I'm just trying to stress it out. I was just I was literally just like, oh, I haven't thought about it from this point of view.

Let me put it to the group. Got it shit, got shit, I'm going to push back down my throat. I mean, we've already discussed it. I've already signed off on it, I know. I just had an additional concern and I didn't want to sit on it. The last part where you say, I know, is the of that is not clear to any of us at all Gavin I I appreciate your honesty and your I appreciate the honest I also love how direct and forthright you are and I hope you never change and we need that

We need that kind of honest. I appreciate I appreciate when you're direct and forthright. That's what i'm asking for That's why I can't accept sure as an answer. I was trying to be Overly direct I was trying to be overly direct. I was just sometimes because I because, you know, I came from being a fan. Sometimes I look at it differently from behind the scenes as I would, like as someone approaching the store as a fan, I just thought, oh, but it's just funny that you decided to have that approach after it all. That is the issue.

Like, that's the issue is that it's after. I was just, yeah, just got perspective is great. Side the box. Yeah. And I think like exact same way, same eyes on it. It's the timing of it is what made it really fun. I have no problem with you bringing it up. I have a problem with it happening eight minutes after we launched. The store.

Okay, so so better late than never not a part of your motto, Eric? I immediately said, what do you want to do? We can get we can probably get a designer working on this. You know what? What is it that you want to see? To Eric's point, he adds absolutely responded. It was a very you could feel the anger in the words, but the words were let's fix this concern immediately. That that's all that's that's it. So what are we fixing? Nothing. I feel the anger in the words, but the words were, let's fix this concern immediately.

That's all, that's it. So what are we fixing? Nothing. And then it was all credit, all credit to Jeff and Andrew. It's fine. I would really like for Gavin to measure when it is no longer better late than never.

When is it crossed over? I think if the shirt is on people's bodies, it's too late that certainly is true I would say if this shirt is in the mail, it's too late if the shirt has been printed. It's too late Yeah, hasn't hadn't yet No, we were pretty much right there. Oh right there, but I feel like that was the last We were right there, but I feel like that was the last opportunity. We were right there, but. Oh, OK. Here's the problem. Once you've sold it to a customer as a thing, you can't then go back

and retroactively change and go like, you know, we decided to tweak the design. It's not the one we sold you. It's one we've decided you'll like better. What if what about what about this? What if we literally patch the shirt? Date the shirt update sure, I Love this shirt idea Gavin and I and I see exactly where you're going with it allow me to jump in

Yeah, and modify the idea a little bit Okay, because I think the problem is we can't patch a shirt unless the audience knows we're gonna patch it For them so what if we get them to buy a shirt and we'll just be like a regulation shirt or some kind of design And then but we let them know it's pre patched and then at some point after they purchase it We will patch it and then mail it to them and then we sell it as a shirt 1.1. Yes And then we just heat we just like heat stamp a patch on or glue it or whatever. Shirt 1.1 is genius. We could also go the other way and just flex on the fact we're a merch store that promises no day one DLC.

We're going to deliver you the finalized product than like all these other merch stores. Very true. At this point, have we been talking about this too much to not mention the actual issue I thought of? Yeah, go ahead. We decided not to put the the asterisk logo on it. Well, call it what it is. It's a butthole. Well, what's ironic is that you're you were really the one who led the charge in removing it. Yes, you are the one who led the charge in removing it.

You were the one that had a problem with it. And once you pointed it out, I couldn't unsee it. And then it drove me insane. It didn't have it on at first. And then I saw a few with it on and we decided that maybe it made sense to not have it on. But then after we all agreed upon it from a purchaser's point of view, when it didn't have that on, I just thought, oh, someone could just print this, though. Anyone could print anything.

But I like the idea that it is the most default shirt. Like, that's the point. True. If there's ever going to be a shirt that looks like anyone could have printed, it should be the regulation shirt. It's just a regulation shirt. That's the purpose of the shirt. If we were going to patch it, I would just have a piece of fabric that had the butthole on that people could sew on.

You know what? The butthole. I've been thinking about it people could sew on. You know where I put the butthole? I've been thinking about it since you said it. You know where I'd put it? Where? Put it in the O, in regulation. That's where I'd put it. Hmm. Well, it's not asterisk in a letter, is it? Well, it's not a fucking it's a it's a logo for us. It's not. Yeah.

Yeah. I like that idea, Andrew. Here's what I would say. I also like the idea of patching a shirt. I think we should come up for something let that idea simmer for a while and Until we strike gold with it Like can you imagine seeing a 1.1 in the wild a shirt that someone bought and then later bought a patch for and sewed it on

Oh, dude, that's phenomenal idea. That's a pretty cool idea Yeah, that's pretty rad. I do like that. Well, I. We should do that. Yeah, I think we should patch the shirt if people want it. You know what else is rad? Episode 24 of this podcast. That was all I could think about is a patch. I want to make a T-shirt.

We talked about it earlier, but I want to make a T-shirt that's black. That's a pocket T that just has the butthole on the pocket. And then I think that'd be awesome. It's like the reverse of the regulation shirt And it's like classy and nobody knows it's a butthole who pointed it out who pointed out the other night at dinner Jeff That was like oh the you guys you like your star logo a point for each of you and we went oh I Think it was Vanessa Maybe yeah, she mentioned how like it was a five-pointed star And it was assumed that it was intentional one for each of us, and we were like
