My name is Jeff Ramsey with me, as always, Andrew Panton and Gavin Free in that order of importance and popularity.

This is episode four. Hi, guys. Oh, wait. I. It's a little I mean, that's just factually correct. First of all, sorry, Gavin, oh wait. I that's a little I mean that's just factually correct first of all sorry Gavin go ahead I well I heard the popularity part after I Realized I wasn't paying attention to the order of the names It was you than me. It was just him stating the guy with a huge slow-motion YouTube channel on the side is

bigger than the piss-boy Vancouver child kicker. Who would predict more popular in every metric? Jeff said that as a dig. It's just a fact. But on this podcast, you're the most popular. I don't think that's true. Well, if we go by an egg, I'm first. But I think that's the only measuring system in which I'm ahead of everybody. I'll be honest. The gas lighting is so intense and immediate.

I don't remember what I said now. Oh, you went Gavin to me. I'm pretty sure I didn't. I'm pretty sure I went the other way. But now I got me. Now you've got me. Sure. I'm locked in. I thought I was bottom, but I couldn't.

International superstar. I have Gavin free. I have a Gavin free. I have a running list in my head at all times of the order of popularity of you to me. And I'm pretty sure Andrew's above Gavin right now. So I think I I don't think that's true at all. I think I said his name first. I disagree strongly. But, you know, we're we're we're wires across.

We haven't done this in a bit. It's been a while. Yeah, I know. I know. Jet lagged. Oh, a bit. It's been a while. Yeah, I'm a little jet-lagged Oh, yeah, how you're all home though, right? Did you get you get some sleep last night? Yeah, but I was so tired I fell asleep like died that I woke up at four so if this feels like really late It feels like we're recording at normal time even up since four yeah Also, it's weird because we're recording at a different time on a different day. So everything's just out of whack. It's all fucked.

Who are we blaming for that? Me? Yeah, that's your fault. But that's okay. Yeah. Yeah. I think we can blame you for that. I wouldn't even say fault. However, had you not been out of town on a trip, I would have had to reschedule today. So then it would have been my fault. So I guess it could have been...

You would have been scott-free. Why did you even say anything? I guess I could have been sick. No one would have to know because I'm trying to make a comedy podcast here. I would have been sexist. I guess I'm secondarily responsible. Like if you're unable to fill your duties of irresponsibility, I would step up. I feel like honesty is important and it makes you popular. And I think that you could potentially now be the most popular member of this podcast. Wow. That's very sweet of you to say. But I don't know. Going up against such heavyweights as the Canadian and the Brit.

I don't know, man. Hard to hard to compete with the with those two. I mean, you're saying it like it's high bar. I feel like it's low bar across the board. Oh, really? I need to. I thought the sarcasm was dripping, but I guess not. I'm sorry. No, I was. And you just called me the Canadian. We don't do sarcasm was dripping, but I guess not. I'm sorry. No listen. I'm can't you just called me the Canadian We don't do sarcasm. We don't do What do you why would you do that to me um

Gavin how was your trip? Oh, it was lovely. It was nice. Yep had a little birthday in England Yeah, oh, what's the last time you had a birthday in England? Oh, a few years ago, probably went to the cheese rolling. I know that you're a big fan of the cheese roll. Oh, of course. Yeah. I was very excited to see when you shared clips of the cheese roll. Was that your first time attending the cheese rolling? Yes. Was it as awesome as it looks?

It's something I've realized that just doesn't come across well on camera. And even on my footage, that hill is frickin steep. Like it is so immensely steep. I don't know how people don't die. Is this now having seen it, is this something that you think to yourself, like, I want to get into this, I want to be I want to roll down that hill. I would love to. Well, how do we make that happen? Um

Why me there is just a risk like a you know, I feel like currently I'm responsible for other people's stuff and if I break my both legs then Everyone suffers. I think you could film slow mo in a chair Yeah, did let me ask you a question did any you went to the cheese rolling, right? Everyone suffers. I think you could film slow mo in a chair. Yeah. Did, let me ask you a question. Did any, you went to the cheese rolling, right?

Yeah. And you saw the whole thing. Yep. Did anybody get taken off in an ambulance? Not that I saw, but- You're fine then. But based on some of the footage I got, I don't know how. Now, were you shooting this just for fun

or was this a work gig? I was filming it for slow mo. I just it was after I'd already booked my flights home where I was like, when does that cheese roll? I should really try. And I realized it just happened to be in the middle of the week that I was home. So I just packed my smallest camera. That's awesome.

So did you just roll up as an attendee or did you let them know a world famous high-speed photographer Gavin Free will be in attendance today at your event? No, I just, we went there and there was a little press area and I thought, yeah, I've got a camera and a tripod. Did you run into any comment leavers or? You got recognized a few times. I don't know if they, oh yeah, yeah, there was some, there was some actual comment leavers or. You can get recognized a few times. I don't know if that. Oh, yeah, yeah, that was some. There was some actual comment leavers there.

And even one of the BBC guys knew of this podcast. Oh, dude, that's awesome. Did you tell him that maybe if he knows about it, maybe the world should know about it and the BBC should get behind it. God damn it. Like we're making we're making fucking news here. I think the BBC would include us in a news post. We're not called face anymore.

That's all formerly previously known as. We should that we should start off every conversation with every interviewer or media person with you can talk about us now. It's OK. How long do you think until we get in variety? That's the dream. That is the signal awards of twenty twenty four. Yeah, but don't you kind of not want to be in variety now? Don't you kind of know you kind of just want to be like, I'm a Hollywood reporter

guy. Fuck variety. No, I mean, I'll be in that. Yeah, we can do the Hollywood reporter. We have like a draw like a line in the sand. I mean, I'm not in that. Yeah, we can do The Hollywood Reporter. We draw like a line in the sand. I mean, I'm not opposed to being in The Hollywood Reporter as well. Right. Yeah, I think it's funnier if we end up in variety. Being as a beef with with Hollywood press, it would be nice to end up in variety for a good thing for once.

Every every time I've been in it, it is not. Yeah, yeah, that's fair. I can understand that from your perspective. With the cheese rolling, Gavin. Yeah. Did you have any temptation to like try to track down that type of cheese? You're like, what would you do if you won? How do you travel with the cheese? Would you bring it with you?

Because you're kind of lucky you can leave it with family. Oh, you mean if I ran the cheese roll? Yeah, if you rent because you win the cheese, right? If you yeah on the run First of all, how many runs do they do? Like how many cheeses do they give out? I saw four. Oh That's a lot like three three men's runs and a woman's one. Is it all the same kind of cheese? I don't know. Honestly, the cheese was my enemy that day because I was I was right at the bottom of the hill directly in the middle and everyone, all the real press were hiding behind haybales and we were we were just shoved off to the side.

But all the people with real equipment were like, yeah, piss off. We got this spot. So we were just shoved over and over. And then like a bunch of people with GoPros and just like whoever whoever felt like it started climbing into the press area. So I was shoved even more further over, completely exposed to the cheese. So for the first,

I would say for the first five seconds of the 10 second cheese roll, I was just trying not to be killed by cheese. Oh Because it comes Cooking down that hill so I would just be watching the cheese and then after it missed me I would start filming Hey, Nick, there's about seven sound drops in there if you could pull this out. They're all gold Thank you what happened? No, you just said a lot of really awesome stuff. Oh shit Well, that's it. We should isolate and hold on to forever One more thing about the cheese thing. What was the craziest thing that you saw at the cheese thing?

Well, a lot of drunk people Yeah, I assume I feel like that goes with it. I just saw so many necks get real bent up I feel like that goes with it. I just saw so many necks get real bent up. One one guy was great, too. He face planted so hard, both of his shoes flew off. Did you see did you see like scorpion after scorpion? Oh, yeah. Some of them. Some of those awkward looking scorpions I've ever seen in my life.

Like scorpions on the move while twisting on a scale of one to ten For fun. Where did it land? Oh to watch? Yeah, like a nine Wow Should we make it a regulation event and maybe go next year or sometime in the future? Do you think it's worth us doing that? Yeah, but it's like it's not really an organized event anymore It's more of just like a bunch of people. I can't do it right. Like they crack down on it being organized.

I mean, I feel like that's better. You know, I feel like that's what you want when nobody's in charge and nobody takes responsibility. That's when the real fun shit happens. Yeah, it is truly a shit show and we got to get that early if we're going to make a thing of it. How do you figure out what it is? It's pretty public still right like it's just just look it up Yeah, it's not like they're fucking spray-painting cheese to the wall and like you got to crack the code Yeah, I love cheese

Oh My god, I'm sorry. I just made myself laugh Yeah, that was good right? I love cheese if you're a hundred years old. You'll remember the halo 2 ARG. I love bees I love bees yeah, yeah Thank you. Thank you. How was your birthday? You have fun? Yeah uneventful uneventful We made birthday content for you. I'm excited for you to say is that why you all just started texting me How like that? I was a great guy. Still hasn't responded.

It was your birthday and we were just trying to wish you well. Yeah. Thought it would be nice. Yeah. Yeah. It was just all at the same time. And also Nick texts me, which I don't think has ever happened. There maybe was a conversation about how when you are,

when you're told that you're a great guy, you respond instantly. And I still haven't technically received a response. Correct. Yeah, I didn't. I don't think I replied to you individually. No, I would just watch the video if I were. Yeah, it's a lot of us just sharing our feelings about you and celebrating you and how much we love you and talking about how great you are and all the things that make you you. Yeah, I think you're going to enjoy it a lot.

Yeah, this is so like, it sounds so like dastardly. Yeah, I feel very uneasy I Don't know why you're gonna get like a 45 minute expression of love of the three best friends and then the guy who's never Texted you before You uh, you said you're feeling uneasy I had had an all time uneasy moment the other day, and I've realized that I need to be more when I when I'm doing actions, I need to think them through further. No, you don't. I can't know you. What? No, hold on. No, no, no. Where did you get that in your head?

Well, OK. Well, what? Typically, I'll be doing like three or four things at once, and then I'll just go solution to problem, do do solution and then not fully think about the potential consequences of said thing. It was I was sitting at my desk and I was I was like updating something or a page rampage and I was looking at something for a game. And I realized, oh, I hadn't taken my anxiety medicine for the day. I take like one pill a day.

This is like I need to take it. But all of the things on my desk were empty. All of the like beverages I had outside of one. So I went, oh, I'll just I'll drink this one with my pill. And so I put the pill in my mouth. Then I took a drink and I forgot that that beverage contained boba balls in it So I have a pill in my mouth and then all of a sudden There is like 15 boba pearls in my mouth and I go into full panic mode

Because how am I gonna swallow all of this? It's just feel basically put like a bunch of other pills It was a massive amount of just circular balls in my dad is an unfortunate combination of words, but it is what happened. Balls are circular. Yeah. Well, I panicked and I tried to crush all the balls in my mouth and my tongue, and that resulted in me missing and then me accidentally swallowing.

And then the pill is melting at the same time. So I thought I'll just try again, but I'll lift the straw up higher. But that still didn't work. So I ended up just having to swallow like four boba pearls alongside my pill. And it was just complete chaos. It was a very relaxed time to all of a sudden instant panic. Did the size of the straw not give away what kind of beverage it was going to be?

I the fact I ordered it gave away what type of beverage it was going to be. The issue was, I just wasn't thinking. Now, I would. You explain that story to us just now. And what I heard was a perfectly reasonable interaction that went the way it should have. What you're describing is how that should have gone. I don't know why you would want to change your line of thought,

because I feel like everything that you just explained makes should the universe wanted to happen that way. And we want to make the universe happy. I don't know how if I can convey the genuine level of shock when all the Boba pearls fall into my mouth on that first set. That was supposed to happen. We needed that to happen. The for balance, the universe needed that to happen.

Please don't take that away from us. I'm not going to. I've been capable of changing in that way, but it was a moment of God damn it. I wish I wish I just thought this through a little bit more. I wish I didn't just drink the drink. I wish I got up, got a new glass of water. But instead, now I have all these pearls in my mouth and it started to melt in my mouth, the pill.

I'm very thankful it was like a lemonade boba type thing because it covered up. But I could, you know, like when a pill lasts too long in your mouth and you start to taste it and it's terrible, it always tastes. The worst was that. But I thankfully had a mask. I feel like I'm usually a new drink guy anyway. Like if if a glass of water has been out all night, it goes old.

Yeah, I always assume. I always assume that if I leave like a glass of water has been out all night, it goes all old. Yeah, I always assume. I always assume that if I leave like a glass of water out overnight while I'm asleep, cockroaches and bugs are going to use it as a swimming pool. And then in the morning, I'll be like, oh, I think it's totally fine. But really, like some cockroaches doing the backstroke in it and maybe like maybe two drunk flies were banging like it's a hot tub.

Like our new flakeouts, there are delicious twists on the croissant doughnut with 24 layers of croissant flakiness twisted with fancy doughnut fun. Get ready to go all out for less. Does it happen here? Because in England, I remember if you fill a glass of water the night before, the next morning it's going to be all full of bubbles and taste weird.

And here the tap water is so fricking disgusting. I just don't drink it. Like does it happen here too? If you leave it out, yeah. Just gets all like weird and bubbly and gross. And I don't know if bubble, I don't think I'd describe it as bubbly for me. Also don't know that I'd describe it as bubbly, but it gets flat and still because it gets weird. It definitely tastes off. It definitely tastes like it's been sitting forever.

But you don't have the bubbles stuck to the inside of the glass? Does British tap water carbonate itself overnight? Is that what you're saying? I don't know what happens with it, but I'm sure if you're in England, you've seen it with the water. Just leave a glass of water for a day and there's bubbles on the inside now. All right, I know where they come from. I think what I'm imagining is bubbles. Maybe we all need to fill a glass of water half full

and stick it somewhere in our house as after this recording ends and then take a picture of it and then in 24 hours come back and look at the results. I think that's a great idea. There are people listening to this right now who don't know what we're talking about. And there's other people fucking screaming at their phones about how, yeah, bubbles.

Yeah, the water bubbles. I don't, I just think it goes stale. I don't know that I've seen bubbles, right? You felt just, wow. Stale. I wouldn't even describe it as it. The taste is so bad when you leave it. Yeah, I filter all of the water I drink here,

and it means that the bubble thing doesn't happen. So typically I'm drinking my water out of a curpler. Like I'll go get it. I'll drink the glass. It's all a singular thing. I don't I'm not going to leave water overnight. I ran into this problem when we were when we were streaming more deep into our stream, and I'm still trying to resolve it because the the bottles

that I stream out of are large they don't fit in the sink and You're also supposed to apparently it carbonates better if it's cold So the only thing I could do is if I wanted to like avoid having to go downstairs to like the kitchen sink is To fill it in the bathtub. But I didn't want to leave it in the fridge overnight because the bubbling thing. Stop. Wait, what? Well, because you're drinking bathtub water. Well, no, because well, no.

So I would when I'm carbonating, when I'm carbonating, the thing doesn't fit in the sink where I get my tap water typically, but it does fit in the tub and it's all the same water. There's no difference in the water. I just don't know why he said no. Because no, I understand why he says no, because when you say tub water, you're implying you're acting like that's a different thing. And then got in the bathtub and then scooped a thing,

scooped the the soda stream thing in and grabbed the water. And all he's doing is saying he's he's he needs the clearance under the tub. I need the space. The water. Yeah. Now, I'm right here with you. But it also just saying tub water is different than tap. It's the same thing. It's the same water. It's no different. Just it's tap water. It's all tap water. Just one comes different. Just it's tap water. It's all tap water.

Just one comes out of a tub. But hot water. Well, I guess that depends too. Like some people's hot water comes out of a tank and it's not potable. Oh, yeah. Not in America. I'm not I'm not using hot water. I don't know what the fuck you're talking about there, but there's no hot water in a house in America that's not potable.

You don't have a tank? Some houses have hot water tanks or we have waterless heating systems, but you still can drink the hot water out of your tap. Have you never drank the hot water out of, I mean, I guess when would you, but have you just been like avoiding hot water getting in your mouth forever here? Yeah. Well, I grew up with those. Do you take cold showers?

I grew up with the, you know, the English taps where there's like a cold tap and a hot tap and the separate taps. Uh huh. That's cause you can't drink the hot one that you don't want to mix them. Wait, what the fuck kind of third world country is England in? The whole time you lived here, when you take like a hot shower, do you keep your mouth like so closed? I think, yeah, I think out of habit. the water is hot I don't do it in my mouth

it's so weird in America the hotter it is the safer it is that's fucking we boil stuff to get rid of the impurities yeah you can you know no one stood in the shower sucking like they're having a drink while they're showering what are you talking about? No but we're not avoiding it because we think it's not safe to drink either. I mean, it will get in my mouth, but I'll gauze it back out onto the floor. I'm not gonna just be like, oh, I said I'm gonna swallow it. The only time I've ever had to deal with non-potable water is when I was in the fucking deserts of Kuwait taking a shower off the back of a truck, like a tanker truck.

That's the only time you... It doesn't make its way into our homes, dude. Would you drink toilet water? Well, no, because I piss in there, but if the water itself is coming from the same place all the other water does Like if you get to it before it touches the pea sides, it's clean water I've got a scenario for you Jeff. Okay, if you had to drink the tub water of someone on this podcast Whose would you take a swig off? Yours I really don't think it matters drink the tub water of someone on this podcast, whose would you take a swig off? Yours.

I really don't think it matters. I think I would take it out of yours. I feel like it would bring us closer together. I'm quite hairy though, I don't think you want mine. No, I don't think I would enjoy it anyway, but I would pick you just because I've known you the longest. It's like a tenure thing. Yeah, it's a tenure thing.

I'm the most comfortable around you because of that. And I just feel like our our friendship would have the best chance of survival after. Now, when you say that, are you saying it in the context that I'm using it, that I'm filling my bottle with water, like I'm just I'm using the tap in the tub, because if so, it really doesn't matter. Wait, what? So I'm leaning in the tub, right? Like I twist the knob for cold water and then I stand next to the tub and I put it underneath the thing where the water comes out

and then I fill it and I leave. Now you're just dunking your cup or bottle into someone's bath. Oh, no. OK, that yeah, that's is there soap in the bath? No, but they've been in the bath. They just have been in without products. Yeah. But I feel like Andrews would be the strongest because he's he stews for longer. Interesting. Yeah.

He's overly steeped. Who do you think makes the least powerful water? Probably whoever takes the quickest bath Probably me then you got you got a speed buff. I got army in me, you know I can't eat or bathe longer than like 30 seconds. I gotta get it fucking in and out What was the last time you sat in a bath Jeff like you took a bath bath? I took a bath maybe a month ago because I was sore and I wanted to, oh, it's because of diverticulitis. About a month ago I had a diverticulitis flare up

and sometimes it helps to lay in the bathtub in hot water for a little while. But before that maybe, I would say I take two baths a year maybe. Wow. And it's always like, oh, I fucking pull the muscle and I need to lay in hot water with Epsom salt or something to to relax. Yeah, probably probably no more than two a year.

When I went into this story, I never thought it would lead into Gavin being weird, a Gavin weirdness being exposed. That was not the direction I was anticipating. But what was I doing? That was weird. What do you mean? Not drinking hot water, avoiding all hot hot water thinking is not safe. That's an odd thing. I Understand your context with it's gross, too. I mean I'll drink boiled water But just hot water What's that for lukewarm, but like warm water?

Taste like has Yeah, I'm not a fan of hot beverages in general. I mean, I'm just I prefer cold. But I just I never thought that's so weird. The idea that you can't drink half your water is fascinating. You can't drink it. It's that he can't drink it based on a false premise. What I've learned in this process is it really hurt my streaming.

Like I've got a lot of I don't even know syrup, I guess I can mix with, but I haven't been doing it the ratio because I want to try it being cold, but I can't. It takes too long to be cold. And it'd be nice to just like prep bottles ahead of time for carbonation. And I'm scared to carbonate the water and then leave it because I feel like it'll it'll get stale, like you guys are saying before. So I've been trying to find a solution for that, and I haven't found it yet.

I did do some deep diving into if you could buy water purifiers for your bathtub and they do not exist in the way that I need them to. Well, it is like market we could get into. It's like salt bags you could put on the front. Like it is it is more a cosmetic thing, but it's like adding to the water. I haven't been able to find just like a britter for your tub. Why would you who would need that? I do for my just because I carbonation is because you don't like changing floors.

Yeah, well, it's just it would be more convenient. Why don't you just move your room downstairs? Well, I haven't my stuff, my work set up, my office. It wouldn't work. It's an open concept downstairs. Yelling all throughout. I need space. I need a little, I need a corner. I wouldn't be able to fit the, uh, I don't know. My two Xboxes, my three Xboxes, it's just Xbox City over here. I don't know. My two Xbox is my three. It's just an Xbox city over here. I can't do that downstairs.

I also don't want to be next to the kitchen. It's just that's a busy place to be. I'd rather just have my own fake kitchen upstairs with my Britta. I think I'm going to get you can get like jug Britta's right. Yeah, I think that might be. I said one. They're fine. They're fine. OK. What if you run a hose from the downstairs kitchen?

Out of the house, up the side of the wall and into your room. Well, the problem with the hose is that you have to be at the source to turn it on or off. No, leave it on and then just cork it. You mean like one of those hoses where you can like twist the the knob to like have the flow go or not go? Yeah. Is that if I leave the water running, is it just I get environmentally like what are we what are we talking about

for the environment with that? Is that bad? The environment is there's no water coming up. I think you should just get one of these guns and then have that. Is that bad? The environment is there's no water coming out. I think you should just get one of these guns and then have that run out. That's how you fill up your bottles and get water. Because you can do like a light mist if you get warm and then you can do like the heavy stream to fill up a bottle. You know what I mean? Explain to me what you think is happening with the environment if you leave that on. But I just, I don't. The water is where I'm saying, hey, water, get in here. Keep on getting in here.

But there's nowhere for it to go. Here's what can happen, because this happened to me literally yesterday. I was giving my dog a bath because he dug a fucking hole in the yard and got covered in dirt and mud. And so I was giving my dog a bath. And I have one of those stupid hoses you see on TV that's all tiny.

And then you put water and it goes like, blub blub blub blub blub blub and it gets big. Oh, no. Mine exploded. Yeah. Well, I had one of those and I had a little nozzle attached to the end of it that you put like dog soap in. Then you can spray your dog with it and stuff. And I set it down for a minute and I went inside to get a towel or something. And I came back out a few minutes later and there was just water pouring everywhere and

my entire backyard was covered in water and I couldn't figure it out and I ran over and I turned it off and that fucking hose exploded. Yours went as well? It just exploded. Yeah, just like yours did. And it was creating the biggest fucking mess I've ever seen in my life. It was crazy. And it had just been left on like 20 minutes. That's our second exploded hose tail. So now we've got one for each podcast. Yeah, that's crazy. I wonder whose hose is going to explode next. Well, hopefully not Andrew's because it will explode in his office.

Here, I'm going to draw a design of what where I think the water might be going and why would be in. Oh, hell yeah. OK. So this is my favorite conversation we've ever had. Just everything that started, the way that it started with Andrew filling up his bottle in the tub, Gavin not drinking hot water, to now running a hose and Andrew drawing a diagram

about how this might not be environmental. I feel like we haven't lost it. This is my drug. I I know I needed an image to draw on top of. So just ignore the primary point of the image. Is the only way I know how to draw stuff is by putting it into Messenger and then drawing over an image that is placed. Hey, before before we end the podcast while he's uploading this, we should remember to talk about the last month. Now that we're on the other end of it, we can like, yeah, yeah. So everything. Well, we're only halfway through.

We got it. We got tons of time. I know. I'm just giving us a little note. But we don't forget. Do you think we're like 30 minutes, dude? OK, so this is my drawing. Why do you have? You seem drawn on a screenshot. So this is as I said, ignore the background image.

I needed something white. You are an animal illustrate this Have you heard of cropping have you heard of just like take a screenshot something? Podcast and I didn't have time to crop take a picture of the damn wall and draw that way Well, I did it doesn't matter just ignore it I'm more interested in you just drew an L Yeah, so this is this is what I'm thinking right so I twist the thing and I say hey water get in here come in here And you see the light green line. Yeah

That's the hose So the water is going up the hose and it's not going out because I have the thing saying hey Don't get out of here. So the left side is the user end. Yes that's the user and that would be where I could flip the nozzle or the switch and the water goes and fires. What I don't know is does the water continue to flow and because it continues to flow obviously it can't flow further into the hose.

Where is there's no room does it. Well I don't know where. When I. OK, so I'm going to ask you this. Yeah. When you've got like a tap and you got an outdoor tap, usually has a hose on it. Yeah.

Take the hose off. Forget about that hose. There's water pressure, right? It wants to leave the tap. But your tap, if you turn it off, it just it blocks. It blocks the water. Yeah, you're just doing that. But further up.

Well, now I. So when I look at when I look at an outside water tap, right, when I look at a tap, I know that if I twist that nozzle, that means water comes out. I don't know what's happening behind that. But you're not making water from that. Do you know how a nozzle works? No, I have no idea how a nozzle works. That's the entire point of this conversation.

It's like a door, man. It's just a fucking water door. All it does is open and close. It just opens a hole in the pipe to allow the water to through. So the water is always going. The water is at the door. It's like Hodor. The water to allow the water to go through. So the water is always going. It's like Hodor. The water is at the door the whole time. And the spigot is Hodor.

And he's just holding the door. He's holding the water back. And he's holding the water back so that all the fucking wildlings or whoever can fucking escape. And then every once in a while, you turn the hose and Hodor lets the water out. The only way it's bad for the environment is if Hodor is kind of weak and he's leaking a little. Yeah. OK. So as long as there's no leak, you just got to make sure Hodor has all of his what he calls little platylus or rubber rings.

Yeah, his seals. You got to make sure his O rings. His O rings. His O rings. This is stupid. The British fucking celmas. This is a fucking thing. Maybe you need to reinvent the hose, Andrew. Maybe, maybe that's- No, I don't.

Okay. I don't understand any of this. I was gonna say you wanted to reinvent the hose, those. Yeah, no, like a faucet. Yeah. Talking about you could rig that up, Andrew. You could get how far is the kitchen from where you're sitting? But well, that's. Does the kitchen have a window? All right. No, well, it's summer.

The flies, I can't. There's a door. I can run it from one door to another door on the inside. Well, there's patios. OK, there's a patio situation. And then could you. OK, so Jeff just posted an image of how this works. So where where does the water go at the bottom? It's just not. It's just it's just there.

You can go anywhere. It's just hanging out there. It's pushing up against the door. That's not how that's that little red screw. That's Hodor, man. It's water pressure from the water company. Yeah. But well, wait, the water. Wait, the company, the water company is providing pressure. Well, I assume the reservoir or whatever water management thing at the other end of the pipe is pushing water. OK, so let's say I don't pay my water bill.

When they shut off my water, what are they doing? They go out to the street in front of your house where there is a shut off valve and they shut it off at the street so that they they hodor it right there and then So it's just a series of doors. Yeah, it's all it is. It's a series of doors and pipes. What is stopping you from just going out there and turning it back on? With that big long thing.

They might lock it or something. I don't know. Also probably it's probably, I don't know, this gets a lot I would assume. Stealing water. I don't even know where I against the law, I would assume. Stealing water. I don't even know where I'd find it. I assumed it was in my house, to be honest. Most people don't know where to find it. There's a bunch of them in your house. There's one under your sink that you can turn off right now.

There's all kinds of doors along a water pipe. There's one right next to the toilet. There's one behind the toilet. There's one next to every faucet. There's one at the faucet and five feet in front of the faucet and everywhere in your house How do they make sure that the water pressure? Isn't so much that it pushes in the door How is that prevented science Great, okay. Thanks. Well, I love valves can can be closed

Great. Okay. Thanks. A lot of valves can be closed like from the pressure, like the pressure keeps them closed. And then you have to push them open. A thing that we have happened in Austin that I've never had happen before I moved here is that so much water gets into the treatment plant when it rains that they can't clean it in time for it to get to you, Andrew. So we have a boil notice and for like 10 days you have to boil your water because it makes it not potable. Yes.

It gets overwhelmed by the amount of water. Yes, exactly. So it's a very intricate system. Water is an intricate series of doors. Yeah, it is. But when God says more, then we're fucked. And sometimes it's too full of bacteria from people's butts. And all this shit, all of this shit the Romans figured out

thousands of years ago without any electricity or technology. That's crazy. I don't believe that. You should. Well, I do believe it. Like, let me be clear. I'm not saying what you're saying is a lie. I'm not a that you should well. I do believe it like let me be clear I'm not saying what you're saying is a lie. I'm not a water conspiracy theorist. I just it's crazy water Is a real back. I want to just go around your house with you and just like I got stuff would be like how does that work? Yeah, no you can do that Light switches I got no idea that would be a great supplement series.

Andrew explains things. You know, it's funny is I've swapped. I've like installed dimmers before, but I don't know how any of it works. Like I've put in new new switches, but I don't know. I'm going to go ahead and say that you shouldn't ever do that. Yeah, no, I know how to do it. You turn the breaker off. You want to say loop the loops and. But you know, I know how to do it. You turn the breaker off. You want to say, yeah, loop the loops.

And but you know, it's fine. It's really not that different from water. It's the breakers are just doors. It's all doors open and enclosed in electric current. Yeah, I think in a it's Australia. You're not allowed to do your own electricianing. Really? Yeah. What if you are an electrician?

Then I think it's fine. Okay. It'd be a weird rule if you were an electrician and you had to hire somebody else. You had to hire someone at the place you work. How are your dimmers, by the way? I haven't had a dimmer in a long time, but I have installed them in the past and then they've always worked. Sweet. Never, I've never had a fire, uh, related to dimmers.

Just related to desk dogs. Desk dogs. Yeah. That was a problem. Um, trying to think any other fires. I think the hose, the hose in, in the window of the room you're in now, I think that's going to do wonders for you. If you set that up, I think you'll love that.

The problem. Yeah. I'm worried someone's going to steal the hose. That's because I had my doorbell stolen and it would have to be. How are they going to steal it? Like if you see the hose starting to, you see it starting to pull backwards towards the window, just grab it. And then you get to play a fun game of tug of war with the thief. Attach a bell to it on the other end so you can hear it being stolen

Die it tie it around a chair table leg. No. I'm going to be I'm gonna be laying in my bed with my headphones on With a waterfall going out of my head. I'm not hearing my hose getting stolen. No matter the amount of bells Someone stole it while you were using Water just shooting everywhere Imagine if someone stole it while you were using it. This gets ripped out of your hands. Water just shooting everywhere. You've got to do this, Andrew. I'll evaluate and I'll see. It would be a really long hose.

It's going to solve so many problems you didn't even know you had. Just think of all the unintended benefits. I'm trying to think. Yeah, like you won't even know it till in the moment. And then you'll be like, oh, you know what? This you know what? It would be great if I had a ho. I do. And then you're going to be like, oh, this is a chalk another one up for a good idea. You'll be so much more hydrated as well, because I feel like sometimes you might be feeling a bit thirsty, but then you're just like, yeah.

And the nice thing about a hose is it can put that water in you fast Okay, so realistically a good use of this would be and I just can't I think it's a bad idea I'm not supposed to but an inflatable hot tub would be great on the patio and it would be very tight There'd not be a lot of room for it. I'm not supposed to do something like you talking like on your balcony. Yeah Yeah, that'd be real nice. I think you can support the weight of a hot tub Inflatable hot tub yes, but well the most of the weights gonna be in the water probably Well, it's you know they're pretty big as well. I see what you're saying. What's below your balcony another balcony? Yeah, you might want to warn them to be very wet dog, but it's my balcony. Oh Wow, you're fine. You well you should warn yourself

I I do want to note that full of water and people inflatable hot tubs can easily weigh up to 2,500 pounds so just do less people and a little less water. Get it down to about 2K and you're good, dude. Do you happen to know, can your balcony support the weight of a car? Because that's about what that is. Why wouldn't it be able to? What if it's easy to solve?

I don't know, that's what I'm asking. If you think it can support a car, then it's, but like, if you could put like a Nissan Sentra on it, I think you can support a car than it's like if you could if you could put like an apart car on it, I think you can put a hot tub. I think I yeah, I think I'm probably just a bad read on that. I did in my head. It's sturdy. Is it held up by like beams from below or is it just hanging out of the side of the building? I think it's just hanging out of the side of the building.

You know what you could do? You could get some chains and you could loop them to the balcony. Is there anything above you? Yeah. Yeah. Just the building. You know what you could do? You could get some chains and you could loop them to the balcony. Is there anything above you? Here we go. Yeah. Just the roof. Here's what you do with the chains. Perfect. You get the change, you loop them up to the roof and then you winch that so it's secure. And now you've got extra support. Forget the roof. Put the chains, hurl them straight over the top of the building.

So they hang down on the other side and hold up a balcony on that side, too. Perfect idea. So they're holding each other up. Yeah, you don't even need chains for that. You could do nylon rope, probably that would hold. What is the weight capacity of the average balcony? Dude, we have we had that was an incident a couple of years ago in Austin, like maybe 12 years ago, where a bunch of people were having a party on a balcony on this fucking house over on the east side and it was on the second floor and they were like 40

people on the balcony when it collapsed. And there was a lot of a lot of people got like not severely, but you know, decently fucked up from it. I, I have an answer immediately of generally speaking, balconies are load rated to 50 to 100 pounds per square foot. And then immediately and people also ask, can my balcony hold a hot tub? Well, there you go. And the answer is almost always the best choice and most can hold a small hot tub. Most high rise apartments and condos of balconies built with reinforced steel and cement, which will not be damaged by steam.

There's another one. Our balcony strong, which will not be damaged by steam. There's another one, our balcony strong, which I just I love that. Like what a dumb, dumb guy. Our balcony strong. So it's like 100 foot pounds per square foot. So I could figure it out. I do the math on this. I can measure it. Did you see the the comment lever that posted this picture? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Did you see the the comment lever that posted this picture? Yeah

It is That is a hundred logo a wing channel, right? Yeah, well not let me actually rephrase that it is not a few hundred logo. It is a green circular face symbol logo with regulation podcast logo. Which happens to be the face. Oh yeah, we changed your name. Sorry. The fucking the lineage in that image is hilarious.

I think that needs to be more like sequel things like that. Yeah. If the background was was red on one side and blue on the other instead of all black, Jeff, we just have your whole situation. Like there's my entire adult life in 300 pixels. Oh, my God. That's the sound of fried chicken with a spicy history. Thornton Prince was a ladies' man. To get revenge, his girlfriend hid spices in his fried chicken. He loved it so much, he opened Prince's hot chicken.

Hot chicken in the window. This is one of many sounds in Tennessee with a story to tell. To hear them in person, plan your trip at tnvacation.com. Tennessee sounds perfect. Pandora, be love. What does be love mean to you? I definitely would say my be love role model

is for sure my sister. Unconditional, infinite love. Something that is never ending, that you know is always there. Never questioned. Never questioned. No matter if you fall off a cliff, she's there to catch you, you know? Be Love. Shop now at Pandora.net.

There weren't enough sequel bands, I think. Sequel bands? What doA. and D.S. Yeah, like you had Jefferson Airplane and then Jefferson Starship and then Starship. It's like you can see the you can see every iteration. There was Oingo Boingo and then they were just Boingo, I believe. But I'm not joking. I'm serious. Yeah, I think they became just boingo at some point. What other ones? Would you consider does every member have to be can it just like how many members have to be in the new

band for it to be considered a sequel? Like would you consider the Foo Fighters to be a sequel of Nirvana? No I think it needs to be 51% or more. Yeah, it sort of turns into like a ship of Theseus, doesn't it? Like, yeah, we're just taking out you're taking out boards, I guess, band members and replacing them with other ones. Well, there's a lot of bands out there that exist right now that are that zero surviving original members still going strong. It's crazy when that happens, like human league in the 80s.

I think before they got really popular, all the original members of the band had left. So by the time that they got popular, it was just a bunch of people that didn't start human league. And it's like, oh, that's, that doesn't make any sense. That's crazy. Dude, I don't think any of the original members of Guar are alive.

Wild. That's crazy. That's crazy. That's insane. Yeah, I don't, I don't, there's definitely not a single original member in that band, but I think maybe one of the, the last original member died this year, or last year. Like I read that. Oh, wow.

Nuts. Crazy. Circling back to cool achievement hunter, regulation podcast logo, we should talk about what's been going on since like over like the last month and sort of before that to how we came to be and how we have all of our RSS feed stuff and everything set and settled. I agree. Can we can we do that?

Can it could I loop up music before I have one more music thing? Oh, please say I didn't get that. I had I had a big I had a whole thing recently. You ever on like your tick tock feet or whatever, whatever your feet is. You ever just get like it decides randomly that you're going to get 50 versions of one thing like you've done nothing to influence it, but it's just like the algorithms like, hey, you need to watch this. This is your thing to watch.

Is that something that I've only experienced? No. Great. Thank you. Good assistance. Good teamwork, y'all. Episode four feels like it. No, I was just confirming. Yeah, I agree. That was fine. But there was silence. I had to wait for that. I want because then if there wasn't, I'd explain further.

I definitely call into the silence. I want because then if there wasn't, I'd explain further. I definitely call into the silence. I randomly for some reason, Tick Tock decided I need to see a live performance of Macklemore doing downtown one day. And I got like 10 different things of it. And that is not that a song I haven't thought about in a very long time. How does it go? It's like downtown, down, and then they yell town a lot. in a very long time. How does it go? It's like downtown down. And then they yell town a lot.

And there's something about leather and legs. I don't know. Anyway, I always thought that the person who did the chorus of that song was the best part of that song. I don't know their name. I don't know anything about them. But because I kept getting them on TikTokick Tock performing with Macklemore, I thought I should look into this person and see what they've done.

I don't know anything about them. So I did some research and I guess they're the lead singer of a band called Foxy Shazam. So I'm here heard of Foxy Shazam. No, no, no. I had zero point of reference, but I'm not the biggest music guy. So I didn't know anything about them. So I put Foxy Shazam into YouTube and I thought, I had zero point of reference, but I'm not the biggest music guy, so I didn't know anything about them. So I put Foxy Shazam into YouTube and I thought, I'll just listen

to some of their songs because I've never explored this. I like what the guy did in downtown. I'm interested to see. So I go through the first one and it's like, that's fine, whatever. And then it was crazy because the second song I listened to, I realized I've heard this song like 10,000 times. I had no idea. It was him or was associated. It was one of the songs at NHL 13, which is a game that I played so much. The UI burnt into my television.

Like I, I spent thousands of hours making fake Vancouver Canucks teams in NHL 13. I love that game. And it was crazy to think, oh, this guy that I was aware of, but thought I had no connection to you, did a song that I've heard like 10,000 times and I had no idea. I immediately recognized it as having a great time. I'm going to post the lyrics and so Foxy Shazam is one of your most listened to on this problem. It is one of my most listened to artists and I didn't even know it.

But here are the lyrics. If someone wants to read them. So come on, come on, come on, come on. Show me a little more. Come on, come on, come on. I like it. I like it. I like it.

I like it a lot. That's the chorus of that song. And so I'm listening to it. I like it a lot. That's the chorus of that song. And so I'm listening to it and I'm like, that's this is take me back to the old days. Yeah, I'll play in NHL 13. But then then we had a little bit of blind side. Jeff, could you all interject with the addition? OK, let me let me post.

I just lost my page. Great. I I fumbled this tremendously. But I like it. Lead singer of this band. OK, is named Eric. This is I felt like I was getting blind. So by Eric, when this happened. Oh, fuck. Oh, God. Oh, right. Now, what's happening? The wrong tab. I I just got lost on the tab. Here, here we go.

Okay. Ready? Read it, Jeff. And then when there's an edition, I'll cut in. So are the additions in the- Just read the lyrics and I will cut in. I'm just going to read it. Okay. Oh, come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Show me a little more. Come on, come on, come on. That's the biggest black ass I've ever seen. And I like it. I like it. That's the biggest black ass I've ever seen. And I like it. I like it a lot. Canucks play off meta.

Yeah, that was part of my notes. Completely unrelated to that. But I had no idea that song was about big black asses. I've heard that song. They edited that out of NHL 13. The version that you said at the top was how I have known that song for like 12 years. So it's like an edited,

so it just skips lines in the song or have they like re-recorded it? No, so they just edited it, but it's not a popular enough song to have a radio edit. So the only version that's like that is in NHL 13 and it's not in any other games. So I was trying to record it. I ordered a copy of NHL 13 so I could clip the version that I've heard and I'll get that eventually.

But I was stunned at like 1 a.m. listening to this when it cut into black asses. I had no idea. It was crazy. It blew my mind that that is what this song is about. I never really paid attention to lyrics to begin with, but I was like, I would have noticed that. It's yellow. That must have been so, cause that kind of stuff, when you've seen something a billion

times and then you see like the unedited version, it's so jarring. Were you like gobsmacked by that? I couldn't believe it. I was more shocked than when all the Boba pearls flew into my mouth. It was, I truly felt wide-sided. So which version do you like more? I I don't know if I'm still processing my feelings that I feel like I've been lied to for the past.

Did you feel like you were in a bizarro world for a second? It did you immediately understand what happened and clock it? Or did it take you a second to figure out like, am I being Mandela affected right now? No, I immediately. My false memories. Only because I had played that game, as I said, for so many hours, like the fact it was burned into my television. I know that song.

I know every song on that that game. It's just it stunned me. It never even occurred to me. It could be a radio edit. And the fact that it was and that's what was edited out, but not even a radio edit. They just chose not to include that. Do you think there are people who have only heard the Black Eyed Peas singing Let's Get It Started?

Oh, absolutely. I would say a lot of people. 100%. Yeah, I thought you're going to say I'm curious how many people have only heard that song through NHL 13 like I have to this point. Probably a lot, dude. And are shocked. I wonder if more people know that version or the original version. I don't think the original one was even a single.

So I like it has to be. How do you go from like, OK, we need to put we need to license music for our sports game. We want some kind of hip, fresh stuff, nothing too expensive. So we have to get some up and coming artists. Here's a song about about big asses. What if we cut all that? Does it sound like if you just like remove the word asked, do you think hockey? And somebody's like, I think I could see a puck.

And they're like, OK, let's just cut all the references to ass out. And then people just think we like hockey. And they're like, perfect, let's just cut all the references to ass out. And then people just think we like hockey. And they're like, perfect. Put it in the. It's cheap. Put it in the game. Do people still do that where they'll record different versions of the song for radio? I think so, yeah. Yeah. I don't think there's I don't think that's ever going away. I just feel like they just play it or like mute it now.

Oh, yeah. There's a lot of like I do hear a lot of like hip hop songs on the radio that are just muted at the moment. Yeah. I remember listening to a, what was it, Purple Pills D12 song. And it's the radio one is just literally a completely different song. But all the lyrics are different. Oh wow.

How about that, that CeeLo Green classic, Forget You? Oh, yeah. Anyway, sorry, we can talk about RSS and all that stuff. I just I wanted to. Oh, we're talking about music. We should talk about RSS and all that stuff. But first, what if I pitched you guys on an idea, on another way to make money in tandem to the regulation podcast,

or in case things go south on the podcast and we need to pivot. The other day, it's been a while now, I think I actually talked about this, before I formalized the idea, I think I might even mention it on or near ANMA, about a month or so ago, I was driving around and I was just in a neighborhood

stuck at a stoplight and I was immediately behind a dump truck. And I don't really pay much attention to dump trucks, but that day I decided that that dump truck was interesting. It just like stuck out to me. And so I was looking at it and I realized a dump truck's not that big. Like it was it fit on the road with me. And I was like, man, you could probably have a dump truck as your personal vehicle. And then I was thinking about like the benefits of a dump truck. You look at the back, you could fit a lot of shit in that thing. Like I was thinking recently, I've been doing some furniture moving and stuff recently, and it's like you get a moving truck.

It's huge. It's a pain in the ass. A dump truck. You could throw most of a house in a dump truck very unceremoniously and it'd be like no big deal, right? It's like a big pickup. And that got me thinking, what if you bought a dump truck and you turned it into a side business where you just like tape a sign on the side of it

that says like, need a dump? And then you just like drive around to Walmarts and Home Depots just up and down the aisles and then wait for your phone to ring. And I guarantee you in a day, you just drive to a dude's house. He's like, yeah, I just got all this lawn furniture I wanna get rid of.

And you don't even have to help him, right? You can be like, anything you want, throw it in my dump truck, 200 bucks, I'll get rid of it. And then you just drive around for eight hours until your dump truck's full. And then you go to the dump and you pay like 400 bucks to throw it out or whatever, probably clear like a grand or more. And if we got two dump trucks, Gavin, think about this.

We can have a two person or we could even get bigger and bigger and bigger. But I was thinking we could call it dump and dumper. Oh, we have a dump truck and a dumper truck. And then we could just go around and provide the service. And we're not really even doing any work. We're just driving from point A to point B, letting people throw their own shit in the dump truck. So we don't even get out. Yeah, we don't really have to get out. We'll have to deal with it at the at the at the I guess the the city landfill or wherever we get rid of it. There'll probably be some effort there, but that's pretty much it. And then also, as we age and become successful, we could change the name to Dumpy Old Men.

Oh, I like that. So it seems to be mostly based around the name. Yeah, I got a lot of them. I had Dump Up the Volume. I got Big Dumps. I got Dump Star. I got Pump and Dump if you want to focus on gyms. I got, oh, there's a good one. Dumpty. The boys of Dumpty? You know, we have, we have, yeah, boys of Dumpty. We have a, we have a whole Humpty Dumpty thing in our past. So I wanted to call it Dumpasaurus, but that exists.

There's already a service that does exactly that called Dumpasaurus. What if, yeah. Well, Dumpty could be if you just deliver golf tees. That's true. That's true. Or we could do bathtubs and we could be tub dumpers. So stupid. That's true. Or we could do bathtubs and we could be tub dumpers. So stupid.

I guarantee you here. I'll I've even done a little bit of work on it here. Hold on a second. Let me copy this. Here is your own landfill, dude. If you had the land, I would think so. Here is an option that is a Volvo V&L 64T 300 for sale. 24 grand. It's gorgeous. It's in central Texas.

We could pick it up tomorrow and bam, we could get started immediately. I'm not saying we should. I'm just saying it's nice to know that that's available out there for us. 24 grand. If and when we want it. And it's a 2008,'s a 2008 man that's

you know it's good yeah it's already got a million three hundred and thirty one thousand miles on it and it's going strong these things are built to last wait it has what wait it has one million three hundred and thirty it's not just for popping out to the shops it It's been driven all the time. A million is crazy. That's to the moon and back twice. I guess it's done one point three. And we're not going nearly that far.

We're just going through some rich neighborhoods to the dump. I will say, I like where your head is at. I am wondering if maybe you just need to play some more trucks. Maybe you're just missing trucks and you're trying to find a way to bring them back into your life. I think you're right. There might be some truth to that. But dude, come on. Rolling around in a dump truck called Dump and Dumper or dumpy old men

would be pretty fucking cool. And as silly as it is, I guarantee you that business model immediately works. And I bet within a month and a half, you've paid that off and you're just making pure profit. I think you're underestimating how much it costs to dump a whole dump trucks worth of. Well, I looked into it. I looked into it and I couldn't find. I do my research. I couldn't find any landfills that listed prices for dump trucks.

But for the biggest truck they had listed, it was like 250 bucks. But I think you could probably fit a good $10,000 worth of stuff in one dump truck by the end of the day. So if you have to pay even a grand as a dumping fee, you're still taking home, you know, nine grand a day or something. I wouldn't trust that dump truck on my patio. I don't think it could support that. That's fair. Looking at the truck. I wouldn't trust that dump truck on my patio. I only could support that. That's fair.

Looking at the truck. I think it's too big. What if it was if you treated it kind of like an ice cream van where you had like a special dump song that played and as you drove around the neighborhoods, people would hear the dump song and come running outside with chairs and stuff. I really like that as well. Would it be thong song and it's just the dumps like a truck part over and over again?

It would it would just be It would just be dub and dubber them singing Mockingbird over and over and over again. Yeah. We've locked in a dump truck song. We don't even have a theme song for this podcast yet, but we have a dump truck song. Why don't we have a theme song? We have to pick one or something? I don't know. We'll just get the old one. Make one? I don't know.

Buy it. Can we just buy it or something? Well, if we had the rights to it for the other podcasts, we still got the rights to it. That is a good point. We now have our... We don't have the rights to that song. Yeah, that is not how that works. We definitely no longer have the rights to we know Yeah, we definitely no longer have the rights. It is also a very expensive. So if you want to make a theme song Let us know I guess I made one for so alright the other day. I was pretty good

Really? What did you use? Hell? You're it dude. I fucking use my mouth to do it. Oh Like I'm like a Bobby McFerrin. Yeah. Nick started it. Can we get a preview? No, fuck you. All right. Oh, come on.

You can't do it right now. Just a little bit. I don't remember it. I don't have it. This is already a long episode. We're supposed to talk about our RSS stuff that we should get into that. Let's talk about it. Yeah. Yeah.

No, we should have done it 15 minutes ago. No, I'm sorry. I just wanted to revolutionize the dump industry real fast Okay, we can cut all that out and just go to the RSS stuff if we Dump I want to drive dumper. I Can I be honest with you? I thought you would Thanks. Yeah. No, I was already ready to give it to concede dumper to you 20 to special license We might we absolutely might have to look into it. Well, you're gonna need any license

What if I only have that license? I Can't drive anything below 16 tons. I Got a level 4 commercial license, do you want to drive my Volvo? I wish I could All right, let's get into let's get into it all I'm excited me too, I don't know anything about our says feeds Eric No, Gavin's got it. Go ahead Gavin. Yeah, go Gavin You wanted us to talk about this for the last 40? No, no, no

I'm not the one who I'm not the one who brought it up the first time or the second time. I tried to steer it to here. That's it. So, OK, who brought it up? Take it. Take it away. Jeff. Hey, what's up, bitch? You boy, little Jeffy here. And I just wanted an hour into the podcast. You're doing introductions. And I just want to talk about, you know, I don't know if you're aware,

but Rooster Teeth, the company we all used to work for very recently and very quietly wasn't well brought. A lot of people didn't hear about it. It wasn't certainly wasn't well explained or documented publicly, but that company, Rooster Teeth, very quietly closed down in the middle of the night. Nobody saw it coming. Nobody knew. We were all caught off guard by it.

We certainly didn't have months and months and months of excruciating time to prepare for it. And so as a result of that, our little podcast, the face podcast, we lost the rights to because it was owned by Rooster Teeth Productions because we created it while in the employ of Rooster Teeth Productions. And so when Rooster Teeth was shut down by Warner Brothers, all of the intellectual property

that the employees made as employees, or that was owned by the company, became the rights of Warner Brothers, who was willing to work with all the individual content creators, Rooster Teeth employees that were interested in the IP that they had worked on or created to to try to help them acquire those rights, I guess, would be the way to say it. And that's a turns out a very long and painful process. And it's not anybody's

fault on that. I don't think any of us were mad at anyone or you know, it wasn't like us versus Warner Brothers or Rooster Teeth or anything like that. It's just a you know there's a lawyer for every lawyer and everything needs to be checked and cross-checked and spelled out explicitly in contracts and stuff and some stuff was real easy to get. I got so all right in about 13 minutes but F***face was a was a really valuable property for Rooster Teeth. And it it because of that was more complicated to acquire the rights to. And so we did. But it just took a long time. It was a double whammy, too, because, yeah, not only was it profitable enough

that it was worth something, it also wasn't like a big heavy hit, like a ruby or red versus blue. It's just some like a big heavy hitter like a Ruby or Red versus Blue. It's just some dog shit little podcast in the corner. So it didn't necessarily have the priority of the heavy hitter, even though it did require an actual purchase. Right. We're not Death Battle or Ruby or Red versus Blue. We're not that high up on the food chain, but we're high enough on the food chain to be on the food chain.

And so it just there was a lot of, you know, it was just a lot of back and forth and, you know, trying to acquire what we could and as much as we could. And, you know, we're very happy to report that we own the entire back catalog of F***face. We own the name F***face. We own all of the merchandising designs for F***face, all of the supplemental F***face content. We own F***face Off, which was the first exclusive show.

The only stuff we didn't maintain the rights to was the Let's Play content and the song, I guess, and the song, the Let's Play content. And we've wanted to talk about it and explain it along the way. And we've been very close. But it has literally been for the last, I would say three weeks, it's all gonna be worked out tomorrow. So just wait till tomorrow. And then it's like tomorrow rolls around and we're like,

there was one other person had to take a look at something or this got kicked back for this one little thing. So it'll probably be tomorrow. And it's just been tomorrow's for a couple of weeks. But we're finally through all that. And it was a lot of work on Gavin's end. I really appreciate all the work you did, Gavin. You definitely took the lead on that in a lot of ways

and it means a lot. Absolutely. Yeah, like, yeah, huge for us. Thank you so much. It was fun to finally like step up in the final days of the company and use my email for like real business. And then in the middle of all that, my email got turned off.

But one of the advantages of having the IP now is we have our old feed, right? So people can now listen if they were subscribed to Face. They will now get the regulation pod in that place, as well as we offer a ad free version on our Patreon at ten dollars, the extra medium tier. The rollout wasn't ideal. You know, we were kind of dealing we were kind of dealing with. We were trying to shoot at moving targets all along the way. And, you know, we made some missteps, of course.

But the most important thing for us was to be there and to be available and not skip a beat. You know, we said that in as many ways as we could over and over again, that we for the audience, we want it to be. And it clearly it wasn't transparent at all, but we wanted it to be as transparent as possible. You listen to us on one Wednesday. Rooster Teeth goes out of business. Regulation spins up. You listen to us the next Wednesday in the same place at the same time like nothing ever happened

We wanted to make it as easy and seamless as possible on y'all as we could and we did assume that it would be a shit Show we just we just still wanted to do it anyway And I think even though it wasn't seamless we still didn't have a gap and I'm I'm super happy about that super happy about it Yeah, it was it didn't go perfectly, but we didn't expect it to. And we just more than anything, we just wanted to be there and making content. And like this is I don't know. I hope it comes across. But, you know, this is outside of my family,

the flesh and blood of my family, this is the most important thing in my life. And I get, it means everything to me. And it the idea of stopping would it would it would crush my soul. And so I didn't want to stop. I didn't want to stop. I don't want to pause. I didn't want to stop for a week, let alone a day. And I would rather deal with the foibles and the little fires that pop up along the way than stop and wait and wait and wait. Because if we did that,

we'd probably be recording episode one today. Oh God. Yeah, that's probably true. I need to think about that. That's terrible. Yeah, no. Can you imagine spending the last five to six weeks totally sitting on your hands,

not communicating with our audience, not communicating with each other in this way, not creating this thing that we're all in love with and obsessed with. Yeah, I couldn't, it just wasn't an option. And so thank you so much to the audience, to every comment-leaver and regulation listener for your patience with us, with our temporary feeds

and our temporary solutions and following us along the way. Now we have our forever homes. I think the only thing we still would like to do at some point is change the Instagram name, but that's not a huge priority today. And I think we're finally settled and in our groove, right? I think like as of this episode, we're like we're good. This is the first episode we've recorded 100 percent good

and ready to just move forward, kick an ass. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. So we have our regular where you get the podcast and everything channel. But we also have a secondary channel because just because we don't have the rights to our old gameplay didn't mean that we wanted to stop doing gameplay altogether. So we do have the secondary YouTube channel where all of our gameplay and other things will be going.

So you can subscribe to both channels and check them both out because we're updating frequently. And then there's even more stuff on the Patreon. So it's very exciting and I'm very excited To continue to do this stuff with you guys You think pre come is kind of a lazy name Again what is what a lazy name. Did you say pre come pre come he said free come As like a closer, but I'm not done talking. What's lazy about it? Just doesn't have a certain name pre come. It's just pre It's adding pre to a thing. It'd be like if you ordered orange juice, but your empty glass is just called pre juice

You could just technically apply it to everything You like it? burrito like I I like it. Tortillas with three burrito like I think technically it would be like if somebody gave you a glass and then walked by and put the tiniest squeeze from an orange in it and said, I'll be back later with the rest. So then when I put down the first slice for a sandwich, just a piece of bread, it's a sandwich sandwich.

Oh man, I got pre-sandwich everywhere. Oh, the pre-sandwich went moldy. Fuck. I just had to throw away so many pre-sandwiches. This is a mold. Oh my god. I will say, if we put a bow on our thing, this is one last thing. I have an exciting announcement

to make that we're excited about. No, don't say, oh, Christ, it's a genuine. I just don't know what it is. I don't we don't know what it is. I don't know. I know what it is. We talked about a little bit. The cookbook. We have a cookbook. Oh, that we released a long time ago. Yeah. Yeah.

And people have been wondering about a PDF version. They've been very patient with us and we've been saying, hey, we're working it out. A lot of that working it out was what we just talked about of like all of it. And the right was that 100% of it. There's not a little bit of it. There's all of it. So now now that we have it settled, that is going to become available to all of our patrons for free, no matter what tier you're at, five dollar, ten dollar, whatever any of your tiers,

you will get that for free. And we're also going to put it up in our shop for six ninety nine. So if you just want to buy it and you don't want to be a patron, totally fine. It will be available as in a PDF form on our Patreon page, which I assume we have linked in the description of this podcast. I'm I'm making a note right now to even say Cookbook is out in PDF form at Patreon dot com slash the regulation pod. So enjoy that. I love our cookbook so much. I'm so happy that we were able to make that.

Jeff, you did such a great job with the photos. The art in it is fantastic. I'm so glad that people that were not able to get the physical version will now have access to a lot of why a lot of wise written words in that book, too. A lot to pay attention to. I'm also very excited about it. That book was definitely a labor of love for Tony, who did the vast majority of the work on it, I think.

It was something that we're very proud of and excited to be able to share it with more people. Is the Regulation podcast just longer than the other one? I don't think so. No, no, we just had to catch up. It's not. Oh, speaking of which, speaking of which, we should probably wrap it up. But I do. Can I, you know, we just had that whole serious RSS discussion and kind of the explanation to sum up why we've talked around things for the last month and not been able to just, you know, like, I don't know, be 100% open as we go through it. We just couldn't potentially damage any negotiations or deals. But I do, in all sincerity,

I do want to say a special thank you to Jordan and Hannah and Yuri and Hirsch and everybody at Rooster Teeth who, after they got laid off just like us, stuck around to help negotiate these licensing deals and help us acquire our intellectual property because that was a lot of work for them and they definitely didn't have to care so much as they were also losing their jobs. So I really do appreciate everybody

that helped us get our independence. So absolutely. The ability to just text Hannah instead of have to deal directly with someone I've never spoken to at Warner. Absolutely game changing. Yeah. Throughout that whole process. And they were just they were they were so helpful and kind and and and seemed to genuinely want to help us get to get our rights.

And I just I really, really, really appreciate it. It would have been so much harder without them. If at all possible, you know. What a great episode. It was nice to sink back up. I'm excited for next week. Don't even have to wait a full week. Are we allowed to call our own episode a great episode?

Yeah, I think so. Absolutely. Oh, I didn't even get to ask Andrew if he learned his chair All you have to wait till next week. That's a little Little tease that's a no Definitely that's definitely a no that's a that's our engine. That's a oh shit. I have a week to learn my chair now Christ Big old tease I I want to tease that I got a new chair also. So there's new chair discussion in the next episode. A lot of chair content next episode.

We'll let you know who learned their chair first. I'm really, really excited. Oh, while we're teasing stuff about chairs, I'd like to tease out, here's a tease. Did Jeff get a new chair? Tune in next week to find out. Maybe he did, probably he didn't. You don't know.

Thanks for listening. Bye.
