Hello and welcome to another episode of the Regulation Podcast. This is episode 94. My name is Jeff Ramsey. With me as always, Andrew Patton, Gavin Free, Nick Schwartz, Eric Badoor. Hello, boys. Hello. How's everybody doing today? Good.

Wonderful. Very well. How are you doing? I'm okay. I got beat up by my house last week. Following your issues, Jeff. I felt like I was in Home Alone. I, uh, you got McAllistered?

I got McAllistered, but it was like, Really? Yeah, it almost, there was a point which was like, am I in a final destination movie? And is this setting up? Is this, are all these things like slowly going to accumulate to a death? But is this what resulted in your message in the bug account channel?

No, no, that's just a other bunch of that in the know. Small scale issues comparatively. Because you did the biggest burger update we've seen yet. It's just chaos in my personal life at the moment. So I've been keeping track, but I hadn't been updating the slack of how many burgers. I felt bad that I was holding onto two burgers and I hadn't reported him yet.

And then you dropped a burger bomb. He dropped to Leffod New Leffod New Burgers with no evidence. Nuked yourself into first place. Launcher myself. I think I was already there, if not near the top. But anyway,

it was close. It was close. There are some repairs needed to happen in my bedroom slash office. and so I decided I'll just get out of the space because there's not a lot of room because if I'm at my desk it's hard to get around and I don't want to sit in my bed

while people work on stuff or potentially hours so I went into the guest bedroom and that is not a bed I encounter often by choice. It is too tall. Maybe completely second guess.

Yeah it's like four feet, four and a half feet off the ground. Hold on, wait. wait wait wait it's four too big four and a half feet it's what it feels like is it seven mattresses stacked on top of each other with one pee at the bottom what pee at the bottom and he's tossing and turning all night too tall it's a comfy mattress it's just way too tall it's also on sorry I have a cat that's attacking at the same time there's no way that thing's higher than three feet off the

Four and a half feet is absurd. There's no way. It's a huge mattress and then it's elevated off the ground in additional like foot and a half by the... What do you call the thing at the bottom? That lifts...

Box spring? No, the thing below the box frame. Bed frame? Yeah, the frame. I would just... Yeah, cool, the bed. It's a frame and then it's a box spring. Well, there's different names

for all these things, Gavin's. There's different names for different things, Gavin. Yeah, Gavin's. um Jesus Christ sorry my cat so it was like four and a half it's as difficult because of my

my short legs so it's like stomach height for climbing into this bed and it's on wheels which is not something that can I ask a question real fast yeah

if you could have in the moment would you have traded arm length for a little bit more leg absolutely that's what I was saying is that completely remade me think my advantages. I definitely get some additional leg in this circumstance. So I was uncomfortable

on that bed for quite a while and then I decided I don't, I'm just going to move stuff. I'm going to get fully cozy. So I sat up and I put my back against the wall and when I put all my weight against the wall because the thing was on wheels, the bed

shot forward and I fell down what would be the top of the bed and hit the floor. You've got like a first person perspective of one of your pillows. Yes. I got a pillow perspective. Thankfully, there was a throw pillow behind my back and that took a lot of the blow, I think, out of the oomph. So are you essentially Amonra St. Brown upside down between your bed and the wall standing on your head? Yeah, well, not head. So it's like back, back hit. It was sort of like the sushi fall almost, but forward.

As soon as that bed got motion, it just flew out. There was no stopping. It was a zero to 60 type situation Why is it on wheels? It's the whatever The thing below the box The frame has wheels on it And I don't think they're locked They should be locked

Is it a hospital bed? No It's just the frame with wheels Your bed frames not have wheels on them No, fuck no What are, no What? No Is it a basinette

Let's be I need to look up Bedframe with wheels I can give a visual Why is everything in your life So close to being normal I don't understand how this is not normal I think every bed frame I've had

Has had wheels on it I think yeah I think had wheels Is it my kid bed Yeah Yeah is it a race car bed by any chance No it's the frame look like this It's got wheels on it Well, I just dropped it in the...

Every bed frame I've ever had has wheels. Yeah, it's just like this. Like, you get in it and you say cacao, and then you're off to stay. You know, I think the audience is going to be on my side on this side. I think there's going to be a lot of people are like, what do you mean you're not used to bed frames of wheels? Where do you want to roll in your bed? That's nowhere. It's, I don't...

Then why does it have wheels? I just assumed it was part of every design. In most bedrooms, at least in America, maybe things are different in Canada. I feel like the bed in a bedroom is like, 70% of the room. There's nowhere to go. You could like scoge three feet to the left or 18 inches to the right. Yeah, my room. There's only like one wall the bed would work against. So it's never moving. You know what? That's actually a great point. It's the design of that guest room is very weird where it is narrow but super long. It is absurdly long. So it's

it's the room that has the most travel room for a bed. So if you wanted to do like bed drag racing, that'd be the place to do it. It would be the place to do it. So I, I, I, I took a blow off the bed. Did you get stuck? No, not really. I was able to get out. How surprised were you, were you discombobulated for a second?

Did it take you? Absolutely. Did you have to gather your thoughts? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Just like, it was comedic, though. Like, it was an impact and it was just funny. It was interesting.

Can I throw something out there, though? Of course. Once again, a problem fixed with a headboard. Yeah. Yeah, that would have been, but I mean, that's completely different bed. So. You can put a headboard on that, on that frame.

That's true. That's true. And you're going to go, Noah. That's a great point. So that happened. And then I collected myself. They left. I went back into,

can I ask one more question? I'm sorry to interrupt you, but I just have to know these things. Oh, of course. Were you naked? No. Were you like, you weren't like Winnie to Poo in it? You had shorts on?

Yeah. That's a great question, Jeff. Jeff, that was great. Well, I assume this was the middle of the day. It was. Because you're just waiting for work. is to leave. I'm just waiting for people to be done. They finish. I just like the idea of like, oh, there's people in my bedroom. I have to go to bed somewhere else. Like, you could have done

anything. You could have hung out downstairs. That's true. Did it make an alarming noise? Yeah, it was loud. Did anybody come to check on you? No. I don't think it was that loud. I think it could have been even covered by the workers. It could have been a work noise, potentially on a lower floor. I have two cats that get very anxious whenever there are new people around so I just wanted to hang out in the cat

with the cats that were in the other room. Keeping them comfortable. Makes total sense. Hanging out with them. So I gather myself, they leave. I decide, you know what? That was a little bit of something.

I'm going to have a nice, relaxing bath. Just chill out. I forget that the bathtub was cleaned earlier in the day. So I turn the water on and then I put my foot in to climb in and get cozy. My foot instantly slides across the base of the tub. I go into a splits like fall face right into the tub. Not all the way into the tub, the like back wall of the tub.

Was it cleaned with butter? It was just soap or whatever like whatever cleaning product was used had like slick the bottom of the tub. it was mixed with the water. You gotta rinse it off anyway though. Otherwise it's in your tub water. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. But I instantly face into the wall of the tub.

Oh, Christ. So your foot slipped back behind you? Sideways, left. Oh, okay. And your face went in right. My face went forward right into the back wall. It is like a shower tub. So it goes all the way up the wall.

So did your leg do one half of like a Van Dam splits kick then? Yes. Yeah, it was like kind of a diagonal Van Dam but then your face went straight into the wall. Yeah, my face went forward until and then

I got in the tub and grabbed the shampoo bottle in the bottle, the lid popped like exploded off and that's when I decided that I just need to stop doing anything because I'm in a final destination scenario somehow this shampoo is going to lead to like some fall

or like a curtain, the shower curtain will fall, like, it's just a disaster. I just kept hitting myself and I felt like I was in home alone or it was like I was getting booby trapped, falling off the top of the bed. You didn't touch any gold in Key West, did you? Did I touch any gold or silver?

Was it silver? Yeah, it was silver. Are you in like potential drowning scenarios that you're concerned about? I can't tell you they can happen anywhere. They can happen anywhere. Not worried about the drowning now. That's one of us. Fucking on wood right now. But surely you got some instant relaxation

once you settle down in the tub. Or was it just not an enjoyable tub experience? Yeah, it was fine. Okay. It was a bog standard tub experience after that. How is your total body integrity now? Would you say you're battered and bruised? Have you lost a couple percent?

You know what? I'm feeling fine now, but it did fuck up my ankle integrity, the slide. I rolled my ankle in the slide. And we were back to like a 30 percenter. It was not fun. That extended. The fall, the back fall and the face into the tub, that was like whatever.

But I did have a limp for like two days. So we could have to bump the marathon? I think so. Thank God for the unbreakable nose, though. Oh. Oh, if I didn't have an unbreakable nose, that collision into the tub, disastrous. If that would have been Gavin, there'd just be a hole in the wall, a nose size. Oh, they're, yeah, they'd need to get, we'd have to call the repair people.

back. You'd have to come back in. I'd have dug up all the grout. And that was my those were my fun house adventures. Well, we can't forget that you also almost got run over recently. I almost got run over recently? Yeah, when you were Dilbot in the old That was close. Oh yeah.

Cheez Steakout. I did. So I was in the Philly cheese steak out video that we put out on our Patreon. We were staking out Eric Nick and I got to go on the run as Dilbot across this parking lot and it was very scary. Yeah, I was broadcasting a little hotspot from my

phone and the range on it was unbelievable. I couldn't believe how far he got. That was crazy. He got way too far away from you. You got a great little Wi-Fi chippered you. I had a moment as Dilbot in that process where I thought this could actually, this could end the company.

There's a percentage where this goes horror. I was crossing the street and I had fear because I couldn't see the camera is very narrow. You realize in a street context out in the wild. You can't really see your left or right. And it was the thing of I'm just going to have to cross the road and hope that a car sees me if I cross way like that there are no issues. And definite the fear of my head of like, oh, what if a car runs me over? What if there is like a collision of some kind because Dilbot is crossing the street, but we were fine. Everything was all good. It was great. And you were being very safe. As soon as you saw a car coming across your vision, you would stop like a kid waiting across

the street. Absolutely, I would. And it's also like, I realized I've never really looked at Dilbot, so I don't like my concept of what the visuals are of me and what I can get away with are are not accurate, where I felt I was being kind of sneaky and then like really looking at footage of Dilbot, it is a big, very visible thing. Oh yeah. There is no sneaking as Dilbot. I just love, I love thinking about it from like an avatar point of view where it's like another body for you, but you're controlling him from another country.

It's like a really interesting way of working in the US without a visa. And they can't get you for it. Because your real body is in Canada. That's true. You're like one of those drone pilots who sits in a warehouse in Arizona and bombs people in third world countries. I don't know if I'm like one of those. Probably exactly like that. Well, I think that's why that guy stopped and took that video of Dilbach going around because he figured,

oh, this is some like government surveillance stuff that's happening now and it's just in broad daylight. Do you think if you were, like if you were, if we stuck you on a balcony and you drove off, fell on someone and killed them? Would they come for us for putting you on the balcony or would they come for you as the person who drove off the balcony? It's an interesting legal question. Yeah. Do we have any lawyers in the community that could let us know the answer to that? Who's going to jail? Andrew, check your printer.

I was going to say that my experience with using lawyers in the community hasn't been great. I don't know if I'd advise. Somewhere Shaheen's like, what the fuck? He's not a lawyer. He was a judge. You can't be a judge without being a lawyer. It's above the law. He's above the law.

No, that's Stephen Seagall. Yeah. Well, he's not a judge, though, so he can't be. He's judged jury and executioner. Yeah, you're thinking Sylvester Stallone. He's Judge Dredd. Oh. I thought that was Carl Urban, right?

No, no, that's newer. And that doesn't count. That's Keith Urban, you're thinking. Keith Irvin. That's right. Hey, I have a question. Okay. What's going on?

We're just selling a shirt? What is this? Oh yeah, you guys are idiots. Let's get into this. What do you mean? What is this? What are you talking about? So we're just doing shirts without talking to everyone.

We're just doing shirts. Eric has posted a picture of a black shirt and in white text it says, give dumb a try. Andrew's played GTA 4. I don't know why. tried to click Discord and my rockster launcher just started.

I didn't, I was trying to close it. What have we told you about what is happening? What is happening? No, it's like, if there's one thing to be upset,

if there's one group to be upset about, is it the group that secretly made money for the company or the guy who's playing GTA during the podcast? Every time. Okay, I'm going to share my screen. You do so much.

Have you got a better? We're recording, Nick. Let me share my screen. No. Just closed again one sec. You still recording, though? Yeah, yeah, nothing's changed. Just look at this.

I'll show you. Nothing's changed. It's going to be a picture of Andrew's carriage on top of Mount Shul. So this is my full screen. My Discord screen. Do you see this? Oh, yeah, I see Discord. So you see the thing.

So I went to click Discord. You've got three audacity's open. See, I'm clicking Discord and GTA 4 is the thing that's flickering. I don't know what I'm looking at. Oh, it is. It's weird. Okay, I will give Andrew that. That is strange.

That's weird. But why do you have three audacity files open? Uh, I'm like, clicked audacity and... It's recording three times. What? What is that? Wait, are you doing this? What are you doing?

Wait, what's the other one? Do that? The levels are different. I don't understand what's happening. Wait, what's the third recording? The other one's playing. I don't think it's recording. Yeah, this one's playing when you select it.

What is this? Can you hear it? What is it? Oh God, no, just don't do anything. Just don't do anything? Just, okay. Wait, it won't stop. There's no stop.

So for those you can't see this, Andrew is recording on one Odyssey, but playing on two others. This is the craziest thing I'm just. craziest thing I've ever seen. But it's still recording this 18 minutes 52. Yeah. So it's fine.

This is nothing, Nick. I can close this. I can get rid of whatever this is. Yeah, yeah, Nick. There should be any problem coming from this. No. Oh, God. Oh, you're clicking no, but it's hitting cancel.

Oh, God. Oh, God! Oh, why is it clicking everything to the right? So that's what it was doing to your other. If you click on straight, So wait. You have something on your keyboard. You do.

There's something on your keyboard. Oh, I do. My dude. The recording isn't moving. Hey, wait. Andrew, was there something on your keyboard? Okay. Ooh.

Hey, Andrew. Yeah, there was. Yeah, yeah. Okay, cool. And there was a cable on the right arrow key. Gavin, that was great. That was brilliant. You might be tempted to let Taco Bell's new Lux value menu go to your head.

Because 10 indulgences for $5 or less makes you feel fancy. Like you might think you need cloth napkins. Well, you don't. Just use the ones that come in the bag. Don't let the Lux go to your head. You don't need AI agents, which may sound weird coming from Service Now, the leader in AI agents.

The truth is, AI agents need you. Sure, they'll process, predict, even get work done autonomously. But they don't dream, read a room, rally a team, and they certainly don't have shower thoughts, pivotal hallway chats, or big ideas. People do.

And people, when given the best AI platform, they're freed up to do the fulfilling work they want to do. To see how ServiceNow puts AI to work for people, visit ServiceNow.com. Now, I do want to say we've totally gotten away from the point of give dumb a try, but I think Andrew was maybe just like the best sort of salesman for that as he needs to be wearing that shirt all day every day. That was insane. I'll explain it as best as I can, Eric.

It was a business experiment that I knew you guys would all get behind the spirit of if you were aware of it, but you not being aware of it was kind of the point. so it kind of had to shake out that way, which I think you completely understand. Essentially what happens is with about a minute into the latest Portal 2 episode 3 video, Gavin and I have a conversation about how everybody who watches that video, us play the game badly, thinks they're so fucking smart and everybody's so intelligent and everybody likes to brag about how smart they are. But maybe that's not the answer.

Maybe going the other way is the move. Maybe giving dumb a try is the move. maybe be dumb for a little while in a portal game and see how much fun you have and then compare your dumb level of fun to a smart person's level of fun and realize that maybe being dumb isn't so bad. And in the process of that, we thought what's the dumbest thing we could do would be to turn this into a shirt, but then release the shirt before the joke hits so that nobody on earth understands it. And to create maximum confusion, we would leave you guys out of the loop as well. A lot of work's been going on behind the scenes to get this thing made and to time it up perfectly.

And I think we did a great job. You guys weren't even aware. We didn't even like, there was no tell. You guys had no idea. No tell. Even with the point, like, even with having to move the day to the video, you guys were like, yeah, of course, that makes sense.

Zero tell outside of, we all agree. So we had a meeting where we scheduled out Let's Play content. We lock in this video. They're like, yeah, this is good. Portal 2 here. Sounds good. The next week, they demand the video change and are unwilling to talk about it.

Man, just no, zero tell that it is. It was much cooler than that. Yeah. Jeff was like, what if, what if Paul came out the following Thursday? And then I followed out being like, oh, that's such a good idea. Jeff, that's a great day for Porter to come out. Yeah.

And then we didn't say anything more than that. Right, right. You're annoying little bastards. Right, you didn't say anything more than that. You just kept saying those things over and over again. Well, yeah, because those are the safe things to say. We all agreed one week. It got sent out for editorial.

And then the next week, it was very clear that for some reason that, was unwilling to be discussed. It had to be moved. Now, I didn't know. I thought you guys just had a miscommunication and it leaked early. You're telling me that that was an intentional part of this bit. That was an intentional part of the bit. There was a funny mistake thing that happened in the middle of it. We put the shirt came out Monday and we just wanted to see how long it would take people to see it and to notice it. We just wanted to see how long it would take it to hit the community. And it was kind of like just a little experiment, you know, see how many eyes are on the store just on a random mess Monday. And if people see it, if they're then

connect the dots to go, I don't know what the fuck this is, and then go talk about it somewhere, right? And it hit sometime Monday night. But the... I forgot what the point I was trying to make. Well, people actually did buy it. Yeah. You know how many, do you want to know how many people gave Dumma try before the episode came out? How many people gave Dummitry? A hundred. Are you serious? A hundred people gave Dumma try.

Those are visionaries. That's 100 forward thinkers. Those people are prescient. So the first people that bought it must have just been browsing the store and thought, oh, gift of it. That's a nice. That's a shirt I'll listen to the shirt. The shirt told me to give it a try.

Seems to be dumb to buy this. And then word of mouth, I assume, got out. And they're like, oh, this is this like unmentioned shirt? And then more people bought it. And then the context came out after that. But I just love that people went for it without the context yet. I think it's brilliant. Well, that's because it's such a great shirt

with or without the joke behind it, you know? It's good words that it's like an adage. You know, it's one of those things. Now that we've birthed into the world, people will be saying that to their kids like 50 years from now and they won't know where it came from. So there is a whole other layer to this

that you don't know about where you guys had that meeting where you gave zero tells that there was anything suspicious going on. None. So as soon as the meeting ended, I downloaded Jeff's audio from the let's play and just listen because I was like

something is in here, obviously. And immediately the bit came into place with you guys in the shirts. And so then I asked Eric for contact info for our merch store because I wanted to initiate a counter shirt to your dumb shirt. And my thought was that it could be like a print on demand thing.

But essentially you lose money when you do print on demand. Yeah. So that died. instantly. So then there was a scenario where it was like, well, do you want to print a thousand of your counter shirts?

And I was absolutely not going to prove that. So then I was offered taking 500 of your guys's inventory and turning it into mine. And that felt rude to what you're constructing. What does that mean, though? You would have stolen our shirts? Yeah, like essentially that of the thousand

you ordered, I would have claimed 500 of your your 1,000. I gotta be honest. I kind of wish you had. That seems like the right move. It's your guys's bit. I didn't want to come in and fully infringe on it.

No, I think that that would only be enhancing the bit and then flipping it back around on us, which then we would have to respond in kind and so I had two kind of design ideas that I am locked up really quick that evening. In response to yours, I had a Dun Dumb shirt.

because you've done it. Done? It is just so everyone knows. If you've already given dumb a try, you've done dumb. Okay. We didn't make five hundred of that. Yeah.

And then my second design was tried it. That is the ugliest E I've ever seen. Why do you hate lowercase E's? I just, you know, I wanted it to stand tall on this shirt. It looks like it says trickle it. Why? Why did you write it out instead of typing it out? Because I wanted it to have some flare.

I didn't know if I could find a font that would give me what I wanted to exude. Would the shirt have had the little streak of yellow on the left? Like, absolutely. I would have made it cost more, but okay. I think that those are both great shirts and I kind of wish you would have done it. But it's okay that you didn't. I remember what I was going to say. So on Monday,

it comes out, right? And then we see it hit the community late Monday night. People are talking about it. They think it's an early, they think it's an early release for something that's not ready yet. Obviously not the case. On Tuesday, Elfamoso checked in with me and they said, hey, how are things going? And I said, awesome. At that point, we'd sold like 30 of them. And I said, it's crazy to see 30 people buy a shirt for a joke that's not out yet. And they misinterpreted what I said as me, I don't know how exactly, as me asking them to hide the joke. so they changed the shirt to just be a question mark and it said dumb shirt for a day and then they sent me an email back

and when I finally checked my email and I saw that I was like oh no no you can undo that that you didn't need to do that so that flip back to normal people saw that and then they were convinced that we had fucked up and now we were trying to retreat and come and hide our fuck up by changing the shirt logo so I just made sure he changed it back

and then they were doubly confused by that uh yeah I mean that combined with Andrew's counter shirt this merch company is really gone above and beyond to me God, they really are. Lunatic Devots. Absolutely.

They really are. Demands. I demand. I demand Dundum. I said, I'd like to give, we'd like to give you a pile of money for some service, please. And they were like, I guess. There's a whole countdown thing, but I hope you. You know what? I actually, I genuinely really like the give them a try design.

I like the simplicity of it. I think it looks good. Oh, thank you, man. I would like one, actually. It is a good shirt. Yeah, I mean, it's on sale. Go for it, man. You know, you know this. Regulatryon.com.

There's a link to Regulationstore.com right there. Okay. So he's the Regulatryon.com is where you go to click the link for Regulationstor. If you want to give the audience as many links as possible in ways to see or shit. I don't know that you do. I don't know that that's the right way to do. Would you be to know if I ordered mine from the store, but I used the company card? Yeah, that would be insane.

We could just ask for these shirts. Yeah. What side of you on the extra medium? I'll take a large. All right. We'll have to ask you, ask for a couple of largest to come in then. Because I'd like to give Duma try as well, honestly.

Now that you mention it. Next, next portal part, we'll both wear the shirt. That is, and by the way, that is an idea that Gavin and I have dicked around with a few times over the last decade and a half that never happened. We were never able to figure out a way to launch a shirt

immediately with the joke or before the joke and so it was just like in some ways it was kind of like a bucket list type thing for me that was happy to finally be able to pull that off

because it seemed like something that we probably thought of 14 years ago that just we're never able to put together speaking of fashion I discovered a thing that I think we need to look into I think we get a lot of mileage

out of this I've been looking into hats a little bit. Seeing what's going on in the hat game. I had a TikTok video, I believe, where it was somebody making a Stetson cowboy hat and I've never seen anyone make hats before

and it was just a fascinating thing to watch. And so I went down this kind of like hat creating rabbit hole which is the thing I never thought I would as a man with a large dome not typically in the hat game. But I learned in this process. that there is a head measuring device for hats

called the hat conformator or something like that. Let me post an image of what the device looks like. It is like a metal. Well, there's our thumbnail. It's an old invention, and it's like this metal thing you put on your head, and you can slide the dials, and then it creates your head shape. Wow, so it's like a metal mold

Yeah, and then you trace Essentially what, so the One of the hat places I saw They have like plastic 3D printed versions they made I thought Gavin you could make us some Some 3D printed versions of these Oh, this is good Do you think your head would max it out though?

I don't know, I'm curious that you could Is you measure it So you get like the circumference and the shape Of what your head is And then this one company would then like trace that onto wood and then cut out that wood piece to like create essentially a wooden mold of what the head would be for fitting in the head. I think we should all do this. I think we should all get head shapes locked in. I want to see what everyone's head looks like. We could just have five

wooden heads. We could have five wooden head circumferences. And then uh once I get that locked in, maybe I'll look into getting a hat. Maybe I'll get a custom hat of some kind. So I can finally be a hat guy. Was the TikTok or whatever that you're watching? Was it was it this guy? No. No. Okay. No, but Eric just posted

a guy in a top hat that looks like he's in the Fable universe. Yeah. It's brutal. I see him using the conformator on people and but they're at like

they're at like music festivals and then he has to go back to his workshop and like make these hats and they're oh it's really something man. He's like a, he looks like a dude

that hangs out with Dave Grohl. To put him in Fable perspective, Andrew, he's the ace of hats. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, it feels very Fable three-ish,

two or three for sure. Yeah, very Fable three, yes, for sure. Yeah. What kind of hat would you get? Would you get a Stetson? Would you get a, like, Trilby?

I think I would get... I could see what a Kangle. You can get like, a straw. I think I'd get a straw hat. Like Huckleberry thin? Light. I think a light,

breezy hat. And because, like, all the cowboy hat things have, like, beaver pelt or something, you know, I don't necessarily want to go that way. A straw hat, I think, would be good. You don't want to go beaver with it? No. National animal over here. I got to show respect to it.

It's on our money. I can't be wearing the thing that's on the money. I'd wear an eagle. As a hat, like, are you like, is your head like going into the chest of the eagle? What would that hat even look like? Like, it doesn't matter. Like the eagle's dead, make sleeves out of its wings, then I have eagle wings. I'm fine with that. I'll do whatever.

Condo man? I would be, I would be like Condor Man. I wish we could get that suit somewhere. The Condor Man suit? Yeah. Yeah, the condomin suit. I feel like Disney probably, it's in the vault, right? All that stuff, it's part of their vault.

Yeah, it's pushed over in a corner covered by boxes somewhere. Yeah, they don't know. There's no caretaken. Yeah, they have no idea. It's probably just protecting something else that they want. They use it as a tarp. Yeah. TARP is something valuable.

Hey, I've seen a couple of pieces of community art lately that I thought were really awesome. And I kind of wanted to highlight them just because you guys haven't seen them, but also to just show them off to the community large. First off is this one, Blade Steak fights vampires. That was one of the prompts. I don't know if you guys saw this on Reddit the other day. it was done by Kurt 1984. I think that is one of the coolest drawings

I've ever seen, and way better than the prompt. So for people just listening, it is a stake in blade style punching Dracula in the face, I would say. Yeah, like above Dracula, like punching down on them. Yeah. And it's so incredibly well drawn. And then this is a totally different style and take,

but I thought it was just as clever. This is in reference to Andrew's unique chair sitting. They created the logo for the Nanaimo Chair Association. Looks like the NBA logo or the MLB logo, red, white and blue. That's a pretty good depiction of how I would sit as well.

They nailed it. NCA. Yeah, I thought that was pretty fantastic. And then I don't know why, man, but this one just tickled the shit out of me. And this is by Texan New Yorker. Oh, did I say who the last one was by? I apologize if I didn't. I don't think you did.

It was by Dave W. Music. Anyway, so this is Texan New Yorker, and this is your Hidden Valley Ranch of Interests bottle. Somebody made a Hidden Valley Ranch bottle with the Valley of Interests in it, and I thought it was just... I laughed for like 30 seconds when I saw it. That's so good.

So I just wanted to shout out those three community members for making some really fun and unique and clever art. That's phenomenal. The fan art's been awesome, and there have been people putting it up. Jeff, your suggestion for like, What's just like, you know, you listen to the episode and like, here's a prompt. It's just, if it sounds weird, just draw it, whatever, if something sparks your interest.

But what I'm interested in actually is this last image of the Valley of Interest because I, I saw Tina, friend of the show Tina the other day. And she said that when she listened to the Valley of Interest episode, she said, unfortunately, it made sense to her. Yeah, we're lying. And I said, okay, hang on. And so I showed her it was the image or the Valley of Interest. Oh, no.

And then she explained it in a way that made me understand what Andrew was talking about. Okay. Tina speaks Andrew? She does. She does. And she's going to hate, she's going to hate that I'm outing her as an Andrew understander. But that is, but that's what's happening here. I always suspected that Ray and Andrew were more similar than we realized.

So, drawing the valley of interest, I had to be. to recreate her drawing and I'll, I'll explain it. This is Andrew's original Valley of Interest drawing. And then Tina's addition to the Valley of Interest that made me understand it. So Andrew's Valley of Interest is a peak. And what he's seeing, again, he keeps saying point of view and all this stuff. And what Tina explained is that the Valley of Interest isn't a valley in terms of, it's, oh, this is where the interest like bevels into like this area.

it's that it is rapidly declining when out of the time that he is interested in in that moment, it rapidly decelerates and then he's out of the valley and he's no longer interested immediately. Just the single arrow that she drew on this thing totally opened my eyes to whatever the fuck Andrew drew

for the valley of interest. That opened your eyes? That I really could not wrap my head around at all what Andrew had drawn or what he was explaining. I could not understand. That one arrow made me go, oh shit, I totally understand what he's saying here. None of it made sense to me, Gavin.

I understand it was so much less. It's like someone's square. I'd lemon in my eyes. Yeah, same, same. That legitimately was eye opening to me where I went, I totally understand Andrew now. And before I had no idea. I kept, after the episode,

I kept looking at the image going, what does it mean? Well, I was in the valley. You're seeing the photo of the interest within the valley. It's not. So, Andrew, is that right? Is that correct? No, not real.

Like, the thing is, is that's incredible. That is, like, the reasonable logical explanation of it. And if I was not, like, if I didn't have homework to extend into this, then I would have just said, yeah, that's exactly right. That is way better articulated and explained that I could ever accurately depict. When you have a valley, there's a valley, right? Like the valley could be the perimeter, and then there are things in the valley.

And that was a POV. I felt like I explained this. A POV of the interest within the valley of interest. You guys ask me, you're like, there's no valley. Where's the valley? I said I would do a selfie from the valley of interest. So I drew a selfie.

And this is in the valley. This is the other side of the valley of interest. I'm gonna throw up. I'm gonna, This like, this made me, this made me feel sick. So, you still feeling good about this, Eric? You got this out. No, absolutely not.

Nick, erase the last five minutes, so let's do something else. Oh my God. Send this to Tina just right, figure this out. You got it. No, this is a selfie. I'm in the valley's behind me. The mountains are behind me. The interest is in front.

You can see some greenery. What is, where's the front and where's the back? So the front is on the other side of the camera I reverse So imagine if you do forward facing on a camera It's the interest and then if you flipped it to be Camera facing you That's the other side of it

Yeah but you're getting both Perspectives of the camera That means that you're I'm so confused Why are you a little bit evil In the picture Because I'm in the valley of interest, I don't know. A little intrigue.

The first picture doesn't depict any of the valley. You're just, the valley's behind you in the first picture. So the valley is like, oh, I'll have to do another drawing. The valley is like a half valley. Like the valley loops around. The valley is all in the back and then this is in the valley. Well, I say half a valley is one hill. Let me take a photo.

Let me pull an image up, a reference image. Eric, where does the arrow go on this one? I don't know. It goes up my ass and I fucking die. This is insane. Gavin, Gavin, I can't tell what's the foreground and what's the background. I don't know what I'm looking at. For those listening, Andrew is blue.

He's looking a bit evil. And on top of his head, not behind his head, on top. of because he clearly drew this part afterwards is a gray two mountains like a valley and then in his ear is someone has thrown a bag of peas. I think those peas are supposed to be grass but it does look like his ear is exploding peas. Yeah, it's some greenery because there's some greenery in the valley. There's just so much background that's on top of you that I can't tell what's what.

It looks like it looks like clouds are sitting on your head. Are you aware that you've drawn two valleys? Why is there blue around the gray? Is that supposed to be part of you? Is that the top of the mountain, the blue, like the outline of the mountain? Yeah. I see the gray is a mountain and the blue is like the edge of the mountain. So I originally just had everything be blue and then I was like, I'll color in some mountain.

You're a psychopath. But there are, there's two valleys on that little mountain range there. Yeah, it's like a whole, it's a little ridge. It's a ridge line valley. and the two valleys that we see represent your interest? What? No, he's looking at his interest. The valleys behind him aren't involved in the valley in front of him.

So we don't see the valley that you're looking at. It's all valley. We're all in valley land. But there's two valleys. How about this? But there's two behind you. How about this? In terms of blood gulch, which is a canyon, kind of a valley that we're all familiar with, where would you be standing?

Oh. Um red base, I guess. And you're facing blue base? No, I'm, okay. So imagine if the world fell off if you look beyond red, like the canyon drop down and there's just nothing beyond the canyon.

Right. Maybe I'm gonna peak. Maybe it's a peak valley. Valley Peak. a peak of interest Well, it's a valley The valley of interest And then there's the interest within the valley

And the valley has a peak And the interest happens to be on the peak And then there's a big drop off Into I don't know Uncharted territory So you're So your drawing of the valley of interest Originally is just

If we just recall it the peak of interest That's it In the valley of interest It's the peak in the valley of interest It's the peak in the valley of interest It's the peak of my interest So would you be happy with the If the painting was called the Mona Lisa

The Valley of Mona Lisa Because it was painted in a valley Would that be valid for you? Sure I wouldn't be up in arms about it Like you guys seem to be Well the picture's nothing to do with the valley And what was the TV show called Terriers

It's not about dogs Things can just be called stuff Got you there The guys in Goodfellas were in fact not good. Yeah, truly they were bad fellas. What does Requiem for a dream even mean? Who knows?

There's a shocking, low amount of Madden and Madden 26. You can just name things stuff. There's nothing stopping you from just calling a thing anything. Just name things stuff. You can. Just do whatever you want.

I think we need... I don't know what you need to draw. Could you do a draw top down? Sure. Oh, birdside view, like that blood contribution? Like a bird's eye view, yeah. Sure. I'll do your top down next time.

That'd be... I think maybe that would help. I think that should clear everything up. Can you keep the same colors for those bits so we can see like the reference points? So there's consistency. Yeah. Also, if you want to do a bottom up,

like Gavin's idea of seeing the POV of the key when we were looking for it, that would be cool too. Okay. From the base Of the valley? Yeah, then we basically have every direction We should be able to

We should be able to compile Okay If we have every direction I can potentially 3D print The diorama of the Valley of Interest Okay I'll come back with a lot of art next time I think that's a great idea, Gav

Yeah, no problem with that I love a good art I love a good design Searchlight Pictures presents In The Blink of an Eye on Hulu on Disney Plus A sweeping science fiction drama spanning the Stone Age, the present day, and the distant future.

Sign up at Disneyplus.com. I've been doing something at the office recently that I don't think it's been. picked up on yet. Eric, if you notice that every time we'll leave the office at the same time, I drop my pin wherever your car is. You drop, you drop your pin.

I drop my Uber pin. Do you? Is that what you've been doing? Yeah. Like if Eric's in one spot, I put it so the Uber blocks him in. It's happened a couple of times. I guess I never really thought about it. That's just like, damn, I just, this keeps happening.

I keep getting blocked by this fucking Uber. It's happened a couple of times now. It has happened a few times. And you always send me a picture when you're like waiting for my Uber to move out of the way. Yeah, I'm just like, well, I guess nothing else I can do is just like, oh, you're, here I am blocked again. And I just, it's so, it happens so fast that it's just like, I guess I'll just, I'll wait 10 seconds. I hadn't considered that you were doing it on purpose. It just felt like a thing where I'm like, man, it just, I didn't even think like it, wow.

Yeah, after it happened by accident the first time, I just went out, I looked through the window wherever you were parks and I dropped the pin right there. I didn't even consider like, oh man, this keeps happening. It was just a thing that happened every time. And I went, oh, yeah, this happened. That's it. Yeah, I should have explained that better when I, I should have referred to the Uber, because dropping a pin could have meant like dropping a bolt under your tire or something.

Oh, I thought, I thought that. that's what you were doing. I thought you were dropping like a pen. No. Oh, I'm like, I don't remember finding like a pen or a pencil or whatever near my car. Wow. Stop blocking me in. What are you doing?

That is really funny. That I never considered think you were doing it on. I just love how low effort the game was for me and how irritating it could potentially be for you. Because I have to put it somewhere anyway. Like, I'm doing all of the normal work. It's so funny I just had to wait

I just have to wait to back up Are you gonna continue to do it Or is this over now Gavin No I think I'm done with it now I was just hoping that eventually You would say something But I just didn't know what you was gonna happen What is great is you've now set up a scenario

Where if you block anybody in They're going to assume it's on purpose And you're gonna have to try to defend That this was an accident Yeah I could have possibly pivoted To another member of the Of the company But to be honest

I don't know what Nick car looks like. And I don't want to block in my own car. So it had to be aired. Yeah. Hey, speaking of doing stuff on purpose, are you guys ready to play hooky? Because it's almost March 4th, baby.

Don't forget. Goof World Hooky Day. March 4th. It's coming up. It's an official holiday. It's a big deal. It's on the calendar. It's on the calendar.

Wait, does that mean we skip? No. No, we'll play video games. We'll play video games. I was playing video games. Okay. It's on the calendar already. You know what I did when I was like 12 years old

and I didn't go to school? I played video games. That's fair. It was having that thought was disastrous for my childhood academic career. I remember distinctly being at home sick playing Kingdom Hearts

on the PlayStation and thinking I could just be doing this instead. This is way better. I wish I was just doing this. Yeah, I mean, you would get up and like walk out of the classroom, so I don't really understand how this is any different. I saw one time when I was, I was going to pee, there was a door that was open and a kid was sitting in the AV closet playing Medal of Honor. And it's the most jealous I think I've ever been of anybody in any moment. Could you have just gone in and joined him?

Uh, I don't know. I don't know what the teacher wouldn't done. It depends how long they would have eventually noticed. I guess they vanish. But is this like walking? and I saw somebody playing Medal of Honor. I was like, oh, that looks good. That looks fun. I'd rather do that than whatever we're going to do.

I remember being out in the playground on a wet and cold day, wishing that I could just stay in the classroom for recess or whatever. And I saw someone inside just playing Zoom Beanie's on the computer. And it turned out he just asked if he could stay inside. Playing what? Zoom Beanie's. Zoom Beanie? What Zoom Beanie's Zoom Beanie's?

A little computer game. I think it was like a learning game. No idea. What the fuck is this? Zimphides! Yeah, there's one way you have to... There's one level where you have to like make a... You have to pick ingredients and guess the right pizza.

That's it. That's the one. This is... That's the pizza thing. So he asked if he could stay in and do extra credit this guy's his game. Yeah, this is like the nerdiest thing I've ever seen. This is crazy. No, I never played it.

I watched people play it, but it was... Oh shit. shit. Gav, we should do a let's play where Gavin plays Zubinis. Oh, Gavinsubinis! Yeah, let's do a Zumbinis let's play. I'm slightly worried that I won't be able to do some of the puzzles. I'm slightly worried that you will. I want to see Zimbini's. But yeah, but it blew my mind that I could just, I could just ask to stay inside. And they'd be like, yeah, right? Is there one Zumbinis?

How many Zumbinis did they make? I don't know. You'd probably make one of those, you'd probably make 50 of them. I still remember the password for the, for the classroom computer. I need a too. Oh, what was it? Pupil. 1136.13.

That's my first ever locker combination. Wow. It wasn't Zumbinis? Zumbinis is $12 on Steam. It's how on Steam? That's too much. It also has a very positive

overall review rating. I love that Gavin and I both had completely different thoughts than you David or Eric of you looked at price and I were like wait it's accessible this isn't gonna be a massive headache to get access to death. Like lost media DOS or something that's great. No Zoom Beanie's

is on Steam. Oh I'm so excited. So if you found out that day that you could just ask to stay inside why didn't you just ask the next day to stay inside and play Zoom Beanie? Because I didn't speak yeah. Oh this is the guy that

Right I didn't realize this was in the note that no talking window I think the no talking window still exists. No, he was not like it did. He didn't speak. I understand. I understand what you're saying. I get he was,

he was quiet completely. But I mean, this is the guy that drove in a carpool for like months and just never asked if he could sleep and instead was annoyed by the fact that he kept getting woken up by the guy. This is Gavin's never asking. Now, Andrew said that he understands about Gavin not speaking.

I don't. What are you talking about? Oh, you don't know this about Gavin. Yeah, I was like a mute kid. What? Explain, what? I don't know about this. Apparently, this, apparently when I was really young,

my first day of school, I really just didn't want to go to school. And in an act of protest against my parents, I was just like, sulking, being quiet. But this was like before I was making any decisions. This is just like something I did as a kid. And then I'm sort of a cave. a sentient human, but I already hadn't spoken for like two years. And I thought, I can't start

now. So how long did you go before speaking in school? I think I was in year four. What? Not like in a he doesn't talk a lot. Like he's the kid that everybody in school knows as that kid doesn't speak. Like he's never uttered a word. But I don't ever remember making the decision to do that. I just remember thinking like, oh, it's going to be, if people haven't speak now, they're all going to look at me in that. I was, I was, like, still very shy. I've always been shy, but the no speaking thing was, it was a pretty difficult situation to get out of.

But you got out of it, like you got to a point where you spoke. Was it a thing that you were like worried, you were like, okay, I'm going to speak and this has to be like a big moment? Or was it just like you started talking? Uh, it was, I think the first day of year five and in the register, the morning, uh, register that said my name. And the teachers were normally used to just looking for me there instead of me saying, yeah, I'm here. But this is a new teacher who didn't know me.

So I thought, this is my, this is a perfect choice, the perfect opportunity. And I just said, here. And that was like, first word. Yeah, there were like audible gasps from other people. Yeah. Did you hear an actual record scratch? Yeah, it was, it was everything I'd been fearing for the previous four years. Like everyone looked at me.

but the teacher just read the next name and then it was quickly forgotten and then I was just like, oh, thank Christ for that. I just start talking again. Did, was there a point where you, maybe it was leading up to that and you, I guess what I'm asking is did you ever consider like doing a voice

and like that could be how you sound? Like, it's like, oh, Gavin Free and you go, here, and that could be like how you are? I didn't want to make more of a thing of it. There were times where I had to talk before. So I think occasionally people have liked that in nativity, I did have a line in the play at Christmas. What was your line?

Burr! I don't think it was the proper nativity because there was a bear and I was a woodcutter. But I think I said, no, no, that sounds right to me. I think that's actually the accurate one. Uh-huh. I think my line was I saw your light to the bear. I was the woodcut and had a plastic axe.

I love that they put the mute kid into a school plane and gave them lines. Like they could have just made you like a tree and put you in the back. Yeah. I'm now the tree had a whole monologue. I thought I had to go for it. That's crazy. So I would say by like year two, I was talking to people I knew, like quietly in the corner. And by year five, I was just like, just talking normal.

I was not aware of this. And whenever my mom told old teachers what I do for a living, they just couldn't believe it. Yeah. That, yeah. I got another young Gavin for you that you probably don't know about Eric. One time he fell down and hit his head and went completely and totally blind for like three days. That's true.

I've heard. I heard about that, but I wasn't familiar with like what exactly had happened or that. like what the amount of time it was. That's scary as shit. Yeah, I was trying to, I fell on my head. I went in a sat in a puddle and then I threw up a lot. And then I remember being in the classroom trying to test like what distances I could read stuff at. So I'd be like, okay, well, I can't see anything really far away.

And then I tried walking up to some like posters on the wall, like right up to it. And I was like, I can't see anything close either. Oh, my God. I can't see anything. My vision was just like, imagine like someone wiped Vaseline onto my eyeballs. So you just said like you had like an insane concussion. Yeah, yeah. And all the vision is controlled by the back of your brain, which is where I hit it.

So I just could see light and that was it. So you think like CTE is kind of like the explanation of how we got here or what? Yeah, this is where the problem started. This all makes sense. It's like a junior sayout type. This makes sense. Oh. Yeah.

Yeah, it had a pretty non-standard childhood at school. Pretty normal outside. Wow. What the fuck? Three days is a lot. I threw up a ton as well. One of the old stories I told was that I crawled to the toilets, throw up in it, but I had forgotten to lift any of the seats up.

Oh! Just went on the top. But, you know, it's the thought that counts. Speaking of weird physical things that kind of suck, you guys don't know about this, but my dog came home the other day from doggy daycare yelping on his back. And it was really weird because, you know, Albert's like a,

he's like an M1-A-1, Abrams main battle tank. He's unstoppable and he just goes forward at all times at full speed. And so we got up next day and took him to the vet and found out that our little guy has a degenerative spine. Oh no. Holy shit. Yeah, he's, uh, his spine is malformed. He's actually got the exact same spinal issue that Emily, that Emily, the exact same.

I don't know what it's called. I can't say it. It's like spinal conglaglia or something. And, uh, and his spine is deteriorating. And he's up on, he's all fucking drugged up on opiates and he's no longer allowed to go up and down the stairs. I have to carry him everywhere. And, uh, we don't know what's going to happen. We have to go back next Friday and see if he's gonna need like a spinal surgery or something. Oh my God, I'm sorry, it's terrible. Wow. That's so unfortunate because his personality is like charge.

I know, I know. That's the worst part about it is all he wants to do is hit the gas, you know? He's got that simmer in him. Not to bring the mood down or anything, but it's just kind of a bummer, you know? I'm sure he'll be fine. And it's not the end of the world. He's walking just fine. He's not like, you know.

But this is just out of nowhere happened. That sucks. Hopefully it's a positive up. You'll have to keep us in the loop on that. Definitely will. He's what, like two? He's a little bit over two. Yeah, like two in three months.

A little guy. Speaking of dogs, dog adjacent content, I discovered a new way to weaponize our hot dog count in a fashion that I've really enjoyed. I have heard about this and you're crazy. We got to get back on hot dogs

in the middle of hamburger season. No, we're not on hot dogs at all. Let me explain what happened. I like Giant Bomb quite a bit I was listening to their podcast and Giant Bobcast and one of their fans wrote in saying that they were the definitive

hot dog podcast and why would the fans say that what was the reasoning behind that? I guess the basis of the email that out there right that has to come from someone there was context of

they had talked about a hot dog related story in the past and the theme of the email was like hey you guys have been talking about other food I want the dog talk to come back essentially and they were like yeah

we are the definitive of hot dog podcast. And so then I replied and said, there's no fucking way anyone else can be the hot dog pod. We counted for a year. If you want to take the throne, you can take it. But you got to show some numbers. You got to put some stats down. I think that's fair.

And so I linked our community made site that is fantastic that had all the totals of us and also community submitted numbers. And so I believe they're going to start tracking their dogs coming up. And if it's above us, then I guess they could take it. but based on their reaction to half the people involved, I think we could be comfortable. But it's more, we can now use this in any instance of someone claiming the number one hot dog podcast

than also in the future burger. We're building our numbers. Can they use our site? Can that site just become a tracking, a dog tracking site for any podcast that wants to participate? General dog pod track site, that's good. Yeah, it could be like, yeah, I like that idea. It kind of sucks to go first all the time, though, you know,

because you just give them a barren to beat. Well, it's not a competition. Not a competition. If the competition, it's not a competition to see how many hot dogs you eat, but it is a competition to be the definitive hot dog podcast. I will say when I initiated this, I was like, you guys got to show some numbers if you want to be called this. I had some doubt because Gavin,

well, I love you, Gavin, but you are not, you are a low contributor to a hot dog count thing. And I thought, oh, they're not going to have the same. type of Gavin effect. One person was greatly opposed to this and someone else is like mildly like into being convinced. So essentially it would be

a three on five potentially for what was presented. So I think I'm feeling good about our numbers. Gator number two, Gavin, he helps out in other ways. He inflates our paella numbers. That's true. Nobody else is doing that. I just, I love the idea that like we go

through this year cycle of tracking food. We then can claim ownership of that food and if anyone claims otherwise we have stats to back up our reasoning. You can throw down challenges. And if they claim and if their stats are better than ours then we now have a year to retake our crown

as the whatever. That is actually, yeah, you know what, Jeff? That is a great point. I think we need to initiate some boxing like championship clauses in this. Uh-huh. Or if anyone ever takes a throne, we have the ability to initiate an immediate rematch. Yeah, but a rematch is a long affair. It's a year, you know? It's a year long. It's a year long window. The matches that, I mean, these are long matches.

Can you imagine a year-long boxing match? Like a hide-and-seek, like boxing match? It went on a whole year. Hide-and-seek boxing is maybe the greatest idea you've ever had. It's just continuous. Just like open it up closets and punching directly into the clothes, you know? Just like being one of the other heighters and is hearing a ruckus on the floor above you, just be like, whew. Someone's been fat.

You just, you're under a bed and you've got your, you've got your fucking fide. fist, ball, you're just waiting for their shin to walk by, so you can just whack them. Do you have to do all of your boxing in place, like in the place you hid? I think you do, yeah. I think it's like amazing race style where you can travel around and try to hide. And if maybe you're up around, you could just be on the move the whole time. I think if you jammed yourself under a bed, that's where you've got to stay for the fight. It's like that phone looks in the May.

So we've got two people above 50 burgers already this year. Oh, we do. Yeah, our burger count is going to be set. It was hilarious when they first looked at the hot dog count website. They looked at the community thing and the disgust of someone who had eaten like 320 hot dogs last year when tracking it was very funny. Not even a hot dog a day. What do they have to be disgusted about? Exactly. But it's been a lot of fun seeing that community become very hot dog brained since this all came up and getting to live that from the outside. Hey, I wanted to float a little idea by you guys. And feel free to cut it from the episode if it's not worth including.

But I was setting up the Jeff story. You know, I got the Jeff Ramsey. Dot store thing going with the old Jeff merch. And one of the things you can do is you can insert like a little art card into every order for like 25 cents that you eat the cost on. But it gives somebody just like a little card or a little card or something that's got a logo on it. And that got me thinking, we should do something similar like that with our store. but instead of an art card, it could just be a blank goof world ID

and then people could write their name in and put their picture on it and they could have like an official goof world identification card. I love that. We could just include it with every order. Should they all be signed by the president there of goof world? Oh.

Can we get you to sign those, Andrew? You know what? I mean, if I mailed them to you? If I got them printed and mailed them to you? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, I would, absolutely. Okay, I'm gonna investigate getting a bunch of those made. And then we'll just like drop one in every store order.

And then, you know what I think would be really cool too? Is with these coins coming up, I think we should do a little card for that and have the Coinsar sign the official coin card for every coin that goes out. Coin card? Yeah. A signature from the coinsar? Like a mint. Are you doing retaliatory signatures?

No, I just, you know, if you're signing me, up for a bunch of signatures and it's a great idea as the mayor of goof world. I think the coins are could also get in on this. It's weird. He said no, but then everything he explained was yes. Well, no, I'm just saying if we're floating great ideas where we could sign things to go along with the merch, I don't think we should forget the coins are and all the coins. I just think it's a good idea.

It reminds you the Aquabats had a cadet, awkward cadet fan club. It's exactly what it made me think of. Well, actually, the idea came from that Baron-Stain Bears ID card. No, really? Oh, that's awesome. and then gave it to Emily and that stuck in my head and I was like, we need an ID card

and then when I was setting up my store, I went oh, this is something people do. It would be really easy for us to just slip this in. We get one of those progressive stamps like they've done with the numbers there. Andrew stamps it and it increments. I mean, we can. I don't trust it's going to work and happen that way,

but yeah, absolutely. Look, you get what you get if Andrews charge it. Yeah, yeah, it's true. Or if Gavin creates it and throws it to you. I'll do the progressive. of stamps if Andrew does the autos. Oh, okay. That's great.

I love sitting down and doing like 1,000 things over again for an hour. I had no problem doing that. Now, we are just about out of time. We got to get to, we got to end this thing because we have a bunch we have to do today. But I just got a text back from Tina. Oh, no. The Andrew Understander. Sent her the picture of Andrew in the Valley of Interest.

And she replied, is this him bored in the Valley? Mountains behind him and the bushes are the green. The one bush on the right outlined in blue is throwing me off, but I think he just forgot to switch color. This is all correct. I'm so glad. See, Tina gets it. Sorry, Tina, you get it.

I'd be so disappointed if I disappointed Tina. That'd be the all-time worst. I'm so glad. All right, should we wrap this up? so we can watch Andrew try to escape prison. Oh, he's going to escape prison. I can't wait. I've been fucking excited.

It's the only video, the only thing we make that I'm as excited about as the podcast, I think. Yeah, his 100% focus on this too is really going to be great. No pop. He's locked in. This is a locked in. It's the gold medal game between Canada and the US for women's hockey. So that will be my Gavin World Cup moment or I'll be definitely splitting my focus.

So you're just going to have it on it in the corner? Absolutely. going to have it on. I'm going to have it on too. It's the big game, buddy. Huge. Yeah. I don't think you need more distractions

based on your performance last time. Yeah, but I removed the pop filter, so it'll be fine. Yeah, so it's all set. I can see the screen. Until then. Enjoy the video. Let's end this to get to that.

Thank you for listening to another episode of the Regulation podcast. This was the 94th one we have done. Wow, the time really flies, doesn't it? Don't forget to go over to Regulationstore.com and give dumb a try. They don't know how many shirts we ordered, but when they find out,

they're going to be really mad at how dumb we are. We'll see you next week. Bye-bye. Bye. Don't worry about it.
