Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello and welcome to another episode of the Regulation Podcast. My name is Jeff Ramsey with me. As always, Andrew Panton, Nick Schwartz, Gavin Free, Eric Badoor. This is episode 86. And I was thinking about this morning while I was taking a shit. This is the second episode 86 we've done. That's, uh, we've done. I mean, we've done two of, two of a bunch of them.
Starting point is 00:00:24 What's true? This is the 86th, 86 second episode we've done. I'm just speaking of this one in particular. yes, you are correct. I wonder how it compares. Oh, that's actually an interesting point. See, you had me in the first half, Jeff. I wasn't, I was like, this is a ridiculous, fun fact, but now comparable one to one, interesting. It's an interesting setup. It also means to sack it off, right?
Starting point is 00:00:50 86 something, yeah. Yeah. 86 something. Oh, you're right. I will say in episode 86 of Fri-Face, Jeff proposes the laundromat where he can launder money. The money laundromat. Yeah, yeah. We made a shirt of that. Good Lord. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:09 That was a cool shirt. You're right, though, Andrew. That was a fun fact. Why doesn't everybody go around the room and share one fun fact? And then we'll all be a little bit smarter. Gavin, go. I don't think a table made for wallpapering makes a very good desk. Wait, a table made for wallpapering?
Starting point is 00:01:26 Is that a fun fact? What is a table made for wallpaper? It's one of those little shitty, like, chipboard tables that you lie down a piece of wallpaper on before you put it on the wall. Disgraceful to sit at. I've never seen one of those. Oh, are you never wallpapered?
Starting point is 00:01:44 No. Oh. You have? I think I helped. I think I helped my dad out when I was about seven or something. Let me look at one of these walls. wallpaper tables. I have no idea what he's talking about.
Starting point is 00:01:57 Would I get wallpaper from a Home Depot? I've never even thought about where I'd go get wallpaper. You might have to special order it, but yeah. Have you ever thought about how you put the glue on? No. I thought you just, I thought honestly, until you said it right now, I thought you got a big roller and glued the wall and then just stuck wallpaper to it.
Starting point is 00:02:20 Same. Probably could do that. Oh, okay. I mean, it's probably the same, right? if it's on the paper on the wall? 2025, I imagine wallpaper self-adhesive, maybe even. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:32 I'm looking at these wallpaper tape. They look fine. They kind of look like wrestling tables. Can you post a wallpaper table so I can get a look at what we're talking about here? It just, and Andrew's right, it does look like something that the Undertaker will put Stone Cold Steve Austin through.
Starting point is 00:02:46 Absolutely. But they are narrower. Is it like a, are they typically not even or something, Gavin? or they're like easy to tip over? There's just nowhere for my legs to go. I'm just like all crunched up like there's no, I'm like, it's just shit in the way.
Starting point is 00:03:03 Okay, wait, so you're just using it. Okay. Can I ask why? Are you, why? How did you get a wallpaper table? Well, I thought it would be easy to quickly go and get a desk without buying one online.
Starting point is 00:03:23 It's super not. And I ended up going to, a Home Depot equivalent and pick it up this bad boy for 30 pounds. Wow! I mean, it's just the leg design because when you said, like,
Starting point is 00:03:36 I got no room for my legs, the one that Eric posted is the WWE style table you'd think of where it is two things on each end, zero support in the middle, where Gavin has more of like a cross-sectional leg thing. It's just nowhere. It's not designed to sit at.
Starting point is 00:03:52 No, that's horrendous. Yeah. What are you sitting on? You sitting on a wallpaper chair? Yeah, what is that? It's a chair, just a chair. It's like a vanity chair. A vanity chair?
Starting point is 00:04:04 Like you'd find it in front of a... Vanity? I guess, yeah. A vanity chair. I gotta say, America, a bit of a dumpster fire right now. Things aren't going great. Haven't been for a while. Get all the criticism, understand it.
Starting point is 00:04:18 But I feel like 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, I could get a better table within 15 minutes anywhere in the country, probably. I think you're right. Easy to get a table in America. I'll say that. Vanity. Now I'm looking up vanity chairs.
Starting point is 00:04:34 What is a vanity chair? Well, I've still got carried away. I've done my fun fact. Let's keep going. Oh, that's a good point. That's a good point. Nick, what's your fun fact? Identical twins don't have the same fingerprints.
Starting point is 00:04:46 Well, I guess that makes sense, but it makes them not so identical, doesn't it? Exactly. And they can't accuse you of a crime you didn't commit. Well, they can accuse you. Maybe they can't get in queues, but they won't prove it. Now, when you picked this wallpaper desk, Gavin, were there multiple wallpaper desks? Or was that the only one they had?
Starting point is 00:05:05 No, there was, this was one type. Okay. And it was just the only table in there in the whole of BNQ. Huh. Got any books? If I got any books? You can raise it up. But, Nick, that's like, that is an insane suggestion.
Starting point is 00:05:23 because for it to be his legs to go under all the cross-sectional, the desk would have to be above his head. It goes all the way down. Yeah, I'd be stood up. He would then have to reach up to do anything on the desk. Does B and Q stand for Bunce and Quince? I hope so. I've never looked it up. What does it stand for?
Starting point is 00:05:43 Bonnie and quail. There's a desk shop. There's no D in it. Yeah, that's my first mistake. Do they all look like that? Is that like the traditional B&Q warehouse setup? Because that, that looks fake. That old British architecture?
Starting point is 00:05:58 Yeah, well, you got like the gardeny bit, the greenhouse bit. And then you got the, like, Home Depot bit in the back. Even the same color as Home Depot. Yeah, it just looks, it just looks like Home Depot. Yeah. Well, it's just something about like the font and the way that it's shaped. It looks like a pitch image and not a real photo. It might be a rendering.
Starting point is 00:06:18 Who knows? What you won't find on top of them either is a British flag. which you will find an American one on the top of every Home Depot for some reason. Really? There's flags on Home Depot? It's because we're proud of the chairs and the tables that we're selling at our Home Depot's in America. Oh, wow. B&Q's older than Home Depot. Wow. I like that there's a sign in there that says, you can do it, like Rob Schneider.
Starting point is 00:06:41 Short for Block and Quail. Block and quail. Wow. Andrew, what's the Home Depot or B&Q of, Canada. Ah, it is Home Depot.
Starting point is 00:06:58 What was that? What happened? Are you okay? Are you okay, man? I had to sneeze. You threw it to me while I was in the back swing of a sneeze and there's nothing
Starting point is 00:07:07 I could do about it. Yeah, we just have Home Depot. It's just Home Depot. We have Lowe's as well. I don't know if that's Canadian, but I don't think so. It's Home Depot.
Starting point is 00:07:21 But we don't have flags. on our Home Depot. Well, you probably don't have the table selection that we do here down in the States then. You know what, that's a good point. We did have a hot dog guy, which I feel like is an essential part of the Home Depot experience.
Starting point is 00:07:35 I actually wasn't looking, I should say I wasn't looking for a desk in a B&Q. I was looking for a fold-out normal table before people go apeshit about why I would actually go there for a desk. Oh, that's the end. Right, right.
Starting point is 00:07:46 I didn't have like an office max nearby or whatever. So you don't have a, car or you don't drive. So do you take an Uber to the B&Q and then they Uber your table home with you? No. Oh. The end.
Starting point is 00:08:04 I went with Dan. Oh, okay. Okay, that makes sense. Thank you. Yeah. I like that none of us considered that he had friends or family there. Well, he said no and it went like, well, this is a mystery. It was just so assert. with us.
Starting point is 00:08:23 Eric, you got a fun fact for us? I do. The raccoon's little bandit mask is actually for anti-glare, so it's like they're wearing little sunglasses all the time. Oh, and that's why baseball players do it. That is, I think they probably, I don't think they do it because of raccoons, but they do it in tandem with raccoons.
Starting point is 00:08:41 So yeah. Solidarity. Yep. Yeah, baseball raccoon solidarity. Andrew. Now when you went to the B&Q, yeah. Was there a hot dog guy in front of it?
Starting point is 00:08:54 Oh! That wasn't. Is there any food stands at all? Like maybe a baked potato man since we're overseas? Like a bovrilmonger or something? Oh, a bovromonger. Yeah, they have a bov-mong outside or what? God, could we start a bovro monger?
Starting point is 00:09:12 Like a traveling bov trailer? Bobmong! I don't think we should call it bov-mong. No, I think it's fine. I think it's fine. Unintentionally offensive is why. I think it's fine. Bavril Munger.
Starting point is 00:09:27 And is it like a food truck? Is that what you're thinking, Gavin? I think it should be. It should maybe have like a little foldout awning as well for the rain. Are people in the fish industry, the only mongers? Well, the cheese monger. Oh, there's a cheese. You're right.
Starting point is 00:09:43 From last week. I mean, are we pod mongers? I don't know. Are we the pod mongers? Oh, this is a picture of a horse-drawn cart of emergency bovril. Yeah. They don't need that. You can always enjoy bovril.
Starting point is 00:10:03 It keeps. You know what? I do appreciate that. Yeah, you know, in England, that's all it took. That's all you needed for a sales pitch. It keeps. It keeps. One horse carriage for that bovril.
Starting point is 00:10:22 I'll be honest. I'm really surprised at the tape on those. boxes. What do you mean by that, sir? How do you mean? I just didn't think stuff back then had like cellar tape. Like packing tape? Yeah. I imagine boxes being like twined shut. I didn't imagine tape. Is that real tape? What year? What year do you think tape was invented? I'm gonna look it up. Don't nobody else do it. What year? Uh, okay. Well, let's let's think about tape for a minute. I thought clear plastic tape would be in the last 50 years, I would have guessed. In the last 50?
Starting point is 00:10:59 No, I don't, yeah, I could see that. 50? 50? I just think transparent shit was hard. You had your windows and then like other stuff was difficult. So you think, you think tape was invented in the mid-70s? Oh, I guess the last, yeah, I always think it's the millennium. Do you think Jeff was alive and they made tape? I was alive when they made, when they invented tape and the high five.
Starting point is 00:11:28 Modern adhesive tape was invented by Richard Gurley Drew at 3M, who created masking tape in 1925. Oh, wow. That's actually later than I thought. I thought it was going to be like 1908. Adhesives from Treesap and such have been used since 4,000 BC. Surgical tapes existed in 1845. I think it's just masking tape was a 1925 invention. So there were other, uh, oh, clear cellophane tape.
Starting point is 00:11:58 was invented in 1930 by the same dude. Okay, so it's 30s, not 70s. Yeah. All right, decent. Have you considered using tree sap to hang your wallpaper, Gavin? I don't have a sap tap. A sap tap?
Starting point is 00:12:15 Well, how do you get sap out of something? Is that a does it do product that I missed? Don't you tap it in? I mean, I think it exists already. Yeah, you tap it in. It's just the sap tap sounds like such a great made-for-TV product is the thing. It's not that you're wrong in anyway.
Starting point is 00:12:30 You're totally right. You do tap it in. Isn't this like what your country does, Andrew? Aren't you guys like tapping sap constantly? Oh, we cannot stop tapping that sap. We're sap-tap-tapping left and right. You guys are making molasses and all kinds of stuff, right? We got maple syrup. It's kind of the stickiest country.
Starting point is 00:12:50 Oh, there's no way. That is a great question. That is a fantastic question. They seem to export a ton of sticky stuff. That's true. I guess we do have Yeah You know my brain though Immediately goes to go to like London as the stickiest place
Starting point is 00:13:06 What's sticky about London? I think Charlie in the chocolate factory is Is why my brain does that What? Wasn't that Germany? Is it? Okay, well The Germany is where I'm thinking
Starting point is 00:13:17 Gene Wilder just feels very British to me Why? The American man in Germany? Oh I mean I know he is very American he was obsessed with British people. He loved the British, and I think he just sort of exudes a British energy. To me,
Starting point is 00:13:38 I'm not arguing that everyone should feel this way. I'm just vocalizing. What do you think is the most British movie he was in? Charlie in the Chocolate Factory. What do you think the second most British movie he was in? Frisco Kid. I think you might be basing your opinion entirely on one film. Young Frankenstein.
Starting point is 00:13:57 the one where he wanted to fuck a sheep I haven't seen that one Blazing Saddles Blazing Saddles is a good one But not British He doesn't well is he I don't remember that movie He just strikes me as a very British man
Starting point is 00:14:17 I don't know what to say How about a fun fact Okay fun fact Let me think You kind of threw it to me here last minute Trying to think No no I think you got We all had it equally, bud.
Starting point is 00:14:32 You actually had the most time. Gene Wilder's dad, here's my fun fact, Gene Wilder's dad didn't want them. He was against, he was against pork, but he loved ribs and he loved bacon. And this was a puzzling thing to Gene Wilder, his entire life. Against Paul, how?
Starting point is 00:14:57 Like, he didn't like pigs? There was a time in which Gene Wilder, Wilder wanted to buy pork chops from a store and his dad was vocally very against it. He was very upset by this. And he couldn't figure out why because they would eat ribs
Starting point is 00:15:12 every week at a restaurant and he would cook him bacon. And he finally asked him as an adult. And the reason was, is because he doesn't view those things as being from a pig because he developed this because his mom hated pork. But to her, pork
Starting point is 00:15:28 was just pork chops, essentially. So Gene Wilder's dad's an idiot He had a very unique views about pork Do you know what I just realized If I was looking at a spit roast Like a hog roast Like a whole suckled pig spinning around I wouldn't know which bit to bite
Starting point is 00:15:47 That's the beauty of a suckled pig It's all good Yeah You think there's parts of it you shouldn't bite Yeah we're not No I just be like I don't know Like where the bit I usually eat is I wouldn't know which bit
Starting point is 00:16:00 would be the best first bite on the animal. Maybe like above the back leg or something? You'd think the ass, the part that you go for for the first thing is the ass? Gavin said it straight to the ass. Yeah, he's going ass first. No, not the ass, just like above the, like over the ass. Lower back.
Starting point is 00:16:21 Gavin wants to be ass adjacent, but not ass direct. Do you ever think about that with like a cow? here's a question what is the best pig meat it's probably it's probably bacon don't you think
Starting point is 00:16:38 I really like pork ribs ribs are real good we're talking flavor well what else we'll be talking Nick Nick has Nick has
Starting point is 00:16:46 are you talking nutritional value I'm talking nutritional value it down into categories like fullness Nick is opening documents and going to categories for what his favorite pig parts are based on
Starting point is 00:16:55 different criteria bacon's best flavor but it doesn't fill you up it just keeps saying fullness. Just eat more bacon. What do you mean? Okay. You tell my doctor, that. I like a honey-baked ham,
Starting point is 00:17:07 I must say. But I think I'd probably pick bacon, too. Like, if I could only have one piece of pork for the rest of my life, that piece would be bacon, probably. Crispy. It's super crispy. It's still getting me. Just if you want to get full, eat more bacon, and Nick's rebuttal
Starting point is 00:17:23 was okay. I mean, if you insist. We're talking about one bite of a pig. You talk about fullness. Like, it's, it's a mouthful. Bacon's heavy. Bacon's heavy. Like, it's dense?
Starting point is 00:17:37 Yeah. Salty. Salty. What a pig neck tastes like. That's why you don't like hot dogs. It's all pig neck. That's true. You've had pig neck.
Starting point is 00:17:49 You've had pig neck and pig knee and pig foot. You've had pig ACL. You've had pig Achilles. All the things that sports players tear are you've eaten as a hot. dog. Pig lap. Ooh, yeah. Ooh, pig lap. Pig abs. Not a lot of animals with laps.
Starting point is 00:18:07 Do you think if a pig worked out at a gym a lot, it could get abs? I don't know that, yeah. Yeah, you know what? I feel like I've seen muscular pigs. Yeah, yeah, muscular pigs is probably a thing. I think I've seen those. I thought, upright gives you abs.
Starting point is 00:18:26 Is that another made-for-TV product? Upright. Upright gives you abs. It keeps you abs. Like, does stuff in all fours get abs? Upright keeps. Uh, oh, dude, Gavin, you're going to want to eat this. This is like, this is your territory.
Starting point is 00:18:41 This is right what you were talking about earlier. That is a muscular pig ass. That's the other angle. Gavin wants, I guess Gavin wants E or F on the diagram of this pig. Why is it so low? That's a low ass. well that's a giant set of balls
Starting point is 00:19:01 oh that's bulls oh yeah do you not know the difference between ass and balls uh those them balls look like us them balls
Starting point is 00:19:12 look like ass got so much balls their ass you're not wrong pigs balls are as big as its head oh that must be the ballziest
Starting point is 00:19:25 fucking pig on the on the whole farm doing crazy stuff I mean that pig's fighting horses and whatnot other farm animals so a male pig can't sit down not comfortably you mean like upright
Starting point is 00:19:40 you couldn't sit at a table I think it would struggle upright I think it would sit at a table maybe not a wallpaper table but you know like a regular table I bet it could yeah no room for its legs there you go I googled muscular pig sitting down
Starting point is 00:19:56 that's how it would sit which is right on its balls I get that I've sat in that position I understand I would love to release someday a book it'd be impossible to do
Starting point is 00:20:09 but a book that's just prompts that we've searched for on this podcast like muscular pig sitting down is just a page Andrew why have you sat like that well sometimes you sit in bed
Starting point is 00:20:23 and you want to kind of like stretch the back out and so like legs left and right and then you lean forward I've been there arms for support getting cozy
Starting point is 00:20:34 it's a good position let me zoom in actually let me I'm looking at this pig I actually disagree it's got both feet on one side that's fucked up I've never sat like that I didn't notice that I assumed
Starting point is 00:20:48 it was one leg each side I've never done the double leg to the one side that's fucked that pig's sitting in one fucked up way. Speaking of pig, I have a breakdown of what's from where. Okay.
Starting point is 00:21:02 Okay. Oh, great. Pork cuts. So we got side is pork belly spare ribs, ground beef, bacon. Loin is a bunch of things. You got your chops, your tender loins, your roasts. Canadian bacon. Leg slash ham.
Starting point is 00:21:19 Gab, I think you're a leg ham guy probably. So you're a bone and ham, smoked ham, smoked ham hawks kind of guy. I feel like that's the closest to the ass. I'm just blown away that the Boston butt is on the shoulder. Wow. Kind of feels lying, huh? You lied to?
Starting point is 00:21:35 I've never heard of a blade steak. That sounds awesome. A blade steak? Have you ever seen a blade steak in a supermarket? Stop saying blade steak. Blade steak. Fights vampires. It's of context as well, Gavin.
Starting point is 00:21:53 Here's the pig and what's where. So that bustum, bossed butt you got right on the top. Gavin's a ham boy, big time. Oh, yeah, yeah. So I'd be up that, I'd be out that bite in jowl. Yeah. I, uh, I like, I really appreciate that they also said, uh, hey, by the way, foot. If we were into do a draft, if you can, you only live off one pick part section based on this, this meat thing.
Starting point is 00:22:23 It's side. I think side hands down, number one. undeniably, the first overall pick. Spare ribs, pork belly, bacon, and ground pork. Is definitely the most versatile, I would think. You can do a lot with it.
Starting point is 00:22:44 Yeah, I don't know, man. There's a lot going on on the loin. That's what I've been saying. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine different cuts of meat out of the loin. Cubes. What was the last time you had a pork cube? I feel like that's the thing that comes with ramen.
Starting point is 00:23:02 Pork cube. Isn't that pork belly? I feel like the little like flavor cubes, the pork cube. Oh. Like stalk. I don't know. I don't know what you mean. We're doing a big.
Starting point is 00:23:15 Well, we all get one pick, but we have to do it right. We have to, this has to be an official in episode pig parts draft very quickly just for what everyone gets one pick. because there's not enough pig parts to go around. So we have to do a pig parts draft, but in order to do that, we have to randomize who goes first, who gets the first pick. And this, no snake draft here,
Starting point is 00:23:39 just all the way straight through one to five, that's it. So how many times are we randomizing? Eight for eight parts of the pig. I love it. One, two, three, four, five, Jeff Gavin, Eric, Nick Andrew, six, seven, Andrew, Jeff Gavin, Nick Eric. Uh-oh.
Starting point is 00:23:56 Hey, Nick, Eric, Jeff, Andrew Gavin. Very interesting. Nick, you want me to just write down foot for you to start? No, no, no, no. I never had pigs feet. But I did, I did like Gavin's advice of eat more bacon. So I'm going with the side. Okay.
Starting point is 00:24:14 Side's off the board. Side is off the board. I think I'm going to go with the loin. I like the loin. I think there's a lot to pick from there. The loin is looking good. So now we're down to, what, six pig parts here? Jeff, Jeff, next is your pick on the pig parts draft.
Starting point is 00:24:31 So side and loin are off the board. I'm going to have to go ham. Oh, man. Ham has been taken. So side, loin, ham. Andrew, you have the second to last pick on the pig parts draft. What do you got? You know that scene in Looper where Paul Deano is getting tortured
Starting point is 00:24:49 and he's older and he's losing parts one by one? I'm just imagining we're taking sections of this pig. and now it's just down to spare ribs. It's just the front half. Dragon is it's got no back legs anymore. Just no, yeah, just the spare ribs and the shoulder. Well, okay.
Starting point is 00:25:09 I'm not going to take the jowl. Okay. Is that, well, do it? No, no, I don't want it. Boston butt, I think, is just one type of meat. It sounds like, it sounds like that's all you're getting from there. But that also can't be right, because that's a huge section of pig to be dedicated.
Starting point is 00:25:26 The Boston butt is what you used for like shredded pork and stuff like that, I think. Oh, I thought Boston butt was like a dish. Like Polt. I thought it was like a steak kind of. Yes, I believe so. Oh, how yeah. Carnitas, all that I think is Boston butt. Oh, well then I got to take the Boston butt all the way.
Starting point is 00:25:44 Okay, Boston butt is off the board. And Gavin finally, with our final pick on the Pigs Park draft, what you got, Gavin? What's left? Spare rib. I will say if you take the picnic shoulder, it's like front butt. You can get the front butt, but you can get the fanny. This Tukis is gone. I mean, I think I'm going to spare rib.
Starting point is 00:26:17 Spare rib. Okay. Spare rib has been taken, boys. That is the pig parts draft. Nick has taken side. I have taken loin. Jeff has taken ham. Andrew's taken Boston butt and Gavin takes the spare rib.
Starting point is 00:26:29 Let us know in the comments who had the best pig parts draft from this episode. Fascinating. Spontaneous. Yeah. You know what? It just felt right. It felt right. I like a little mini draft that doesn't have to be a whole production.
Starting point is 00:26:46 No, no, no. Just especially with something that's so limited. The pool is pig. And so. The pool is pig. Yeah. And so there was only. So much you can do.
Starting point is 00:26:53 Yep. There's only so much you can do. I have a food-related question for Andrew. Bring it on. A few episodes ago, you were talking about how you don't mind mayo if it's like a secret. Yeah, secret mail. Yeah, absolutely. What if I dyed mayo red to look like ketchup?
Starting point is 00:27:12 Oh, I'd be all. Yeah, that's fine. Totally nice. Wow, that is a great. Gavin, that is a great question. That is phenomenal. Okay. Well, um, uh, here, okay.
Starting point is 00:27:23 This is where it's. Yes, I would have no problem. I think I would visually have less problem with it, but I would never use a condiment that said mayo on it still, even if it was red. What if it was dyed red in a ketchup bowl? Oh, for sure, that's fine, because I'm good with aoles. I just need the label to lie to me.
Starting point is 00:27:47 I love, I've, this is, I've talked about this. I love an aole. I love a fancy mayo, but it's not, it's different to me. I can put a differentiator. lie to myself that this isn't mayo. This is aioly. So how, like if you had a Hellman's AOLI, would you go for it? Yeah, absolutely. You just don't like reading the word mayo. I don't like the word mayo. I don't like how it looks in the thing. It would have to be a squeeze bottle. Opening a jar of mayo and just looking at the remnants is so gross to me. It just looks terrible. What if, I kind of want to go
Starting point is 00:28:19 through your fridge and dye everything red and put it all in a ketchup bowl. So then I just don't know what anything is ever? Yeah, it all looks like different ketchup. Don't you think it would fuck with your head, though, to get like... Well, obviously, man, this is disgusting and no one should ever eat it. But, like, let's say if you made mustard red,
Starting point is 00:28:38 but it tasted like mustard, don't you think it would just confuse you? Yeah. Yeah. It's like when you drink something that you expected to be something else. Mm. Oh, that's true.
Starting point is 00:28:48 Yeah, yeah. It is always jarring when, like, you have something in can and it exudes one color, and then you pour it out, and it's... Like, imagine white orange juice that look like milk. Oh.
Starting point is 00:29:00 That would trip you out. Would you not have it then, Jeff? No. You wouldn't have white orange juice? I don't think so. I would if they called it spooky juice. What if I made your favorite barbecue sauce white? Yeah, that's fine.
Starting point is 00:29:19 There's white barbecue sauce. Oh, there is? Yeah. That's the thing that exists. Check and mate. It's pretty popular. What if I made your barbecue sauce brown?
Starting point is 00:29:37 Have you thought about that? What if your sprite was clear? I want to try training Jeff on white food. I don't know whether it's better to make all the white. Like make all the white food different colors or make stuff you like white? The problem is, dude, it's not, I mean, the color, the color's not great.
Starting point is 00:29:57 But there are white things that I eat. I'll eat an egg. Boiled egg is white, right? I'll eat ice cream. I'll eat rice, although I'm not the biggest fan of rice, but I will eat it. I'll eat mashed potatoes. So it's not purely the color. When I think of, like, for instance, cream cheese or mayonnaise, I think of gross sicky taste. Okay. So you'd have to make them taste like something else, too. Like, if you could turn sour cream into ketchup, I would probably, yeah. Like, if you eliminated all, the color and flavor. I'll reverse osmosis
Starting point is 00:30:31 mayo into ketchup. The funniest time where I'm confronted with my mayo thing is if I'm ordering a burger, let's say like I'm getting like a door dashed to McDonald's thing. And
Starting point is 00:30:45 McDonald's maybe using a great example. But if it has like mayo on the burger, I will have a moment where I'm taking other stuff off and I'll look at the mayo and I know that I think it'll taste better with it on it. But I don't like, approving it. So I just, I have to, I look at it and then I just convince myself, I'm going to
Starting point is 00:31:03 forget that it's there. And then I continue. But there is always a dilemma where I look at it to opt out of it. And I go, no, and it's better with it on. Are you talking about taking it off when you order it or like scraping food off? When you order it. So like when I'm ordering a thing and it's like, I don't want any tomato on this burger. I'll also see a mayo option typically if the burger has mayo on it. And I will be confronted with, I don't like the idea of no that Mayo is on this, but I know it will be better with it. I'll just, actually, I'll leave it, and I'll, I'll just forget. I'll just force myself to forget.
Starting point is 00:31:37 So you just, you only want secret mayo. Yeah, if they had, like, you could go onto your account and secretize mayo, you'd never see it written anywhere on the site. Absolutely. Hot, oh my God, what an invention that would be. I would pay a slight premium for that. Would you pay an extra dollar per order? Oh, that's a lot.
Starting point is 00:32:00 No, no, yeah, dollar per order, I think is fair. Wow. I'm blown away. Like a convenience fee? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But they need to make it a secret fee as well. I can't know about it. This is going to be a list in fees.
Starting point is 00:32:15 So it can't be itemized. What if you could just scramble, like, you could obfuscate every ingredient? Huh. Like a hamburger blind box? Like a hamburger would be like one gloom. two fliggles and one wamp and you would just order it that way. What's a wamp? Can I get mine with no wamp?
Starting point is 00:32:38 You could take off or add anything you want. Huh. I don't understand any of what you're saying. You wouldn't know what any of the ingredients were because they've all been like renamed. Yeah. Oh, I see. Oh. No, that, oh.
Starting point is 00:32:55 I really do not like a tomato. A slice of tomato. Slice of wamp? A slice of wump. Yeah, I guess I would just learn. The problem is I'd learn. Would they swap every time what the wump was? Would the wump constantly change?
Starting point is 00:33:12 Yeah, I think it would reset daily. And you would never be able to decode it unless you ordered a ton in that same day. What a terrible design for people with allergies to think. Absolute nightmare. What if you could put in your allergies? to your profile and every morning it would say like, oh, avoid the gloggle. I want to avoid the gloggle at all costs, even if I wasn't allergic.
Starting point is 00:33:42 We got to avoid that gloggle. Yeah, I like this. Okay. I think also in this discussion I'm realizing for how my brain works, you could put all of your subscription fee as an additional fee and lower the price. and my brain would be happy about that. Even if it was the same. Lower the price of the item, but have a bigger fee.
Starting point is 00:34:07 Yeah, so let's say, let's say like a Netflix subscription, hey, it's only $2, but then there's $8 a month in fees and services. And like a buy-line. Wait, so you prefer hidden fees to knowing the price of something? No, it's displayed. Like, if I look at the receipt, it's listed as a part of the fee in service. But you're only seeing it at the checkout. Make sure I don't know what I'm doing at all times.
Starting point is 00:34:41 This is, I guess, a strange thing I'm realizing is emphocalizing it. The product, I think I value the fee and service more than I do the product. You value the fee and... What? Because if I see a fee and service fee and it's whatever amount, I got, yeah, they got fees, they got services, that's fine. That's part of this. So what if Netflix made their subscription $2 a month with a $25 fee every month?
Starting point is 00:35:11 Well, then I wouldn't pay for it. That's too much money. I just, I couldn't, I wouldn't afford that. But if it was what it currently is, actually, I don't even know. How much is Netflix per month right now? I pay like $25 a month, I think. Really? It's $20.
Starting point is 00:35:27 Well, yeah. Well, I get like the 4K version or whatever. I just upgraded. Did you see Gavin that Netflix is going to be the exclusive home to FIFA the game in this upcoming year? What? What does that mean? That is what I said. I looked at it and I went, wait.
Starting point is 00:35:44 Are you guys, did you do a deal with FIFA so you're going to stream like FIFA games? Like real games? So it would be like watching a FIFA game, but it buffers constantly and the app crashes? Yeah, exactly. Okay. And Jake Paul will be there. Exactly what it seems like. You'll be able to play FIFA on Netflix, I bet.
Starting point is 00:36:07 That's what it is. So I read into it. But it's weird because EA doesn't make FIFA anymore. They lost the license. So it is a different developer that has made a FIFA game. And it's exclusively going to be available to play via Netflix. What am I pairing my controller to? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:36:27 The Apple TV? Maybe it's a remote game. I don't know. So, WWE has something like this right now, but I don't know, I think it's, I don't know how you play it
Starting point is 00:36:41 or what I've never played it or seen it or whatever, but it is a WWE game on Netflix, and I assume you just use your remote control to hit buttons, or you play it on your phone. I assume it's on your phone.
Starting point is 00:36:54 How do you develop for something that's on so many, it's like all kinds of different hardware? I guess PC gaming is the same. But surely Netflix baked into some dog shit TV OS is going to run worse than an Nvidia Shield or something. It was very confusing because they said just in time for the World Cup, FIFA coming to Netflix games. And I was like, what the fuck does that mean? Is Netflix games the sub-brand of like their sports? But no, it's just a new FIFA game not made by EA exclusively playable.
Starting point is 00:37:29 on Netflix. Sounds like a mobile game got ported to Netflix. Yeah. I mean, it might be developed for Netflix, but it's the same principle, I bet. I just opened up the Netflix app
Starting point is 00:37:41 to look at the game thing. If I can find the WWE thing really quick. And the first thing I'm confronted with is their mobile game section, which is, I think, just crazy for them to lead with.
Starting point is 00:37:53 And the first thing in the mobile game section is Red Dead Redemption. Imagine playing Red Dead Redemption for the first time on your phone via Netflix. What an insane experience. Who is that person? Oh, they got 2K25.
Starting point is 00:38:12 So it's just like only on mobile on Netflix? Yes. Is there multiplayer? I don't know. I don't think they've said. Like you want to get a posse going on Netflix? Hey, what's your Netflix code? I want to do a fucking Netflix multiplayer.
Starting point is 00:38:29 player let's play. HDCP there. Ah, yeah. The games and I'm just looking at the Netflix library of games. And it is quite the Narcos Cartel Wars Unlimited. Wow, that feels like it belongs on your GTA
Starting point is 00:38:47 heist wheel. I think that sounds like a Facebook game. It sure does. It's like the most Farmville-ass title. Kevin, have you ever been to Crispy Street? That's a name. of a game on here and that feels like you could have visited. You could have bought a pie on Krispy Street.
Starting point is 00:39:03 How do we not do that for Advent? A Krispy Street pie? I'd love a crispy street pie. Is it not a game? Oh, it is a game. It's a puzzle game. Okay. I didn't know what Advent you were talking about.
Starting point is 00:39:16 I thought you were talking about it because I said pie and then you said, why didn't we do that for Advent? I thought you meant last year's Advent where you ate a bunch of stuff. Oh. Nah. Now when you went into the B&Q, Was there a big line or was it relatively quiet?
Starting point is 00:39:33 Pretty quiet. And did anyone ask what you're going to do with your table? No. I mean, do you usually ask people why they're buying something? Yeah, that's what I do in line. If I'm in line, I'll just look back. It's not. A guy with 18 toilet rolls under his arm.
Starting point is 00:39:50 What are you doing? That would be the most annoying person to be in line with at a grocery store. They just turn around and start asking, what you're doing with every item in your cart. Oh, oh, you got some strawberry yogurt? What's that about? You're not a blueberry guy? That sounds like such a realistic future, though.
Starting point is 00:40:09 I want, I want this to happen to Gavin one time. Just like, go through, like, fry style go down my receipt, asking me about all of it. It's like that experience you were telling me a couple weeks ago, Eric, I don't know if we ever talked about it on camera, but you were talking about it was Gavin's worst ever day, if it would have happened to him. What was it? I'll tell you what it was. I was going to, I was going to, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:33 I thought I was just teeing you up for it, but you were getting coffee. No, I totally forgot. This happens to me all the time, so it doesn't. You were getting coffee at Des Nudo. Oh, dude. And I would hate this. Oh, Gavin, Gavin, we never would have heard the end of it. It would have, like, fundamentally changed the way that you operate.
Starting point is 00:40:52 I got a haircut, and then on my way into the office, I'm like, I'm going to stop and get a cup of coffee. it does newdo. So I was second line. It was cold out. It's fine. Not a problem. The person in front of me
Starting point is 00:41:07 was having a conversation with like the barista. It's inside of like a little like food truck. And they have like an extended conversation. Like it goes for like a little while where I'm just going like, man, the order's like done. This is that. Whatever.
Starting point is 00:41:21 It's fine. Maybe they just know each other. It's not a big deal. The guy steps out of line. He's done. up and the pharista goes brother
Starting point is 00:41:30 it's going on today I just went oh you know you know just keep just keeping it yeah just keeping it warm
Starting point is 00:41:39 and he's like yeah I hear that cold out there yeah yeah yeah cold out here and he's like well
Starting point is 00:41:45 what you're thinking and I'm like I just large black coffee and he's like all right nothing else right easy
Starting point is 00:41:54 I'm like yeah easy he's like yep just a big cup of Joe keeping you warm. Yep, absolutely. Yeah. So what you got going on today? Oh my God, it's still happening.
Starting point is 00:42:06 And he's like filling it up the slowest you can fill up a cup of coffee, just from like the drip. It's not, he's not like making it. It's just from the drip. And I'm like, oh, you know, just going to work, keeping it warm.
Starting point is 00:42:18 Oh, yeah, you know it. And this is going to keep you warm. Yeah, no, I know. Yeah, absolutely. And then he, I do, like, we feel. finish the transaction, and then he hands me the coffee. And he goes, oh, hey, actually, one second, can you do me a favor? And I went, oh, yeah, what is it?
Starting point is 00:42:31 And he went, have a good day. And I went, got it, man. And then he reached out for a fist bump. I fist bumped him. I walked away, and I think that I didn't even make it to my car before I messaged. I just had an interaction that would kill Gavin. I had the opposite experience in a coffee shop to that yesterday where I was buying some Christmas presents and I stopped at a Medici coffee.
Starting point is 00:42:55 A little local coffee chain. Not a big fan of, but it was where I was at. So I walked in. And I was fourth person in line. And the guy was talking to the first person in line was a girl, which kind of a young girl and kind of a young guy. And he was talking to her. And I thought, oh, my God, it took forever.
Starting point is 00:43:12 And I thought, this guy's hitting on this girl or whatever. This is going to take so fucking long. And it did. And they had this entire conversation. And then the next person to go up was just like a normal looking dude. And then they had a conversation. I was just on my phone after a while. because I just fucking couldn't believe
Starting point is 00:43:26 it was still going on. And then it gets up to the person in front of me, which is an old lady, when I think, oh, I'm great. He's not going to hit on her. And then he, I swear to God, she walks up and he goes, Carol, oh my God, did you change your hair?
Starting point is 00:43:39 And she goes, I got it, died. And then they had this whole conversation, this, like, 25-year-old barista dude and this lady who was like maybe 62. And I was just in, I was dumbfounded. It may have taken, like, literally like 12 minutes for him to get through these four people or three people.
Starting point is 00:43:53 And then he comes up to me, and I have no idea but expect and he goes, what do you want? And I was like, oh, let's take a cold bird. He's like, all right, that'll be four bucks. The fucking zero kindness towards me. It was the craziest thing I've ever seen. I've never felt less like a local in my life.
Starting point is 00:44:09 Wow. I mean, that's the ideal version for me, for sure. Yeah. But, wow. And it was great for me, too, if I hadn't seen the first three people go through it. Because then you're like, what's wrong with me? Well, you got to go back. You got to establish a rapport with this guy.
Starting point is 00:44:24 I will not. Well, if you want the experience... I'm not going to put that level of work in. I just get so uncomfortable. Because I feel like even if I'm doing something cool, I don't know how to even say it to someone. Like if someone's like, oh, what are you up to? My answer is always like, not much or nothing or get me out of here.
Starting point is 00:44:42 I can't imagine saying what I'm actually doing. We should craft a lie for you. So you have a better answer. You're going to go, something about laundry tomorrow? doesn't do want me. That's exactly my exact mindset. I mean, I'm just like,
Starting point is 00:44:58 pick out, think of anything. Be, wallpaper. We talked about it when we did the gingerbread advent thing, where Dilbot was going to run over all of the gingerbread stuff. And we went to the grocery store. And I just made small talk with like the woman at checkout. And I think Gavin went,
Starting point is 00:45:21 I just want to follow Eric. and see what all of his interactions are like. I actually want to just walk behind you with a clipboard and just like write down go-to sentences, like little quick pivots of just like, just inane sentences that just go so far in society, but mean nothing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:39 I just don't, I don't understand how you don't just have like a roster of those. Like I don't, you just don't have those on standby? I got nothing. Wow. We got to drill Gavin with this. That's like a skill.
Starting point is 00:45:52 you never developed. I wonder if that's just like, if that's just like being British or if it's something specific to you. Interaction? Yeah, I don't know. Like, is that just how British people walk around London and in England
Starting point is 00:46:08 just not having inane small talk? Or like, is that a cultural thing? Or is Gavin just uniquely bad at it? No, it's got to be a double whammy. Do you want to set it up? Yeah. Do you want to, uh, let's act up? scenario, I'm a guy driving you to work in a car in the morning.
Starting point is 00:46:27 I'm gonna have a little small pot. So did you hear, did you know that bees or, uh, they sting? Yeah. I was trying to keep you awake. He's snored. That was my wake up. That you, bees! If you just shouted, ah, bees.
Starting point is 00:46:49 I was once, I think I was at the Austin airport, or some other airport, ordering A.B's ice cream. and the guy Yeah, that'll be this one, wouldn't it? The guy just comes back with a bowl of ice cream and he just says, what's wrong with it? And I was like, what?
Starting point is 00:47:07 It's like, what's wrong with the ice cream? And he was asking me, what do I want on it, I guess? What? What? I get what he's saying. Like, how do I make this better for you? Oh. What topic was like, or something?
Starting point is 00:47:22 That's a fucking crazy way to say. I just thought it was insane. I don't know. You're the, you're the only. expired? Expired? Is it on the board? Like, he's like family feud with you. He just asked everything in the weirdest way,
Starting point is 00:47:37 and then he gave me back my card and receipt covered in ice cream. And I just, I think that was the last time I ever ordered ice cream there. That is not on you. I was in like 2013 or something. That is completely on them. That is somebody who does not know how to do small.
Starting point is 00:47:54 There's two people that don't smallpox. But they're initiating, which is crazy. Yeah. I think we could develop some, some like two or three sentence go-toes for you. Yeah. I need like a little tiny, like a pocket book of stuff.
Starting point is 00:48:07 Okay. So like if somebody, say, say you're at the store and somebody says, hey, how's your day been going? Not bad.
Starting point is 00:48:17 How's yours? But, right, but now you're like, now there's like more interaction there. You got to like say something. See, I think you got to say something
Starting point is 00:48:27 that like kind of makes sense. but if you don't, like, if you think about it, it really doesn't. Like, you just, like, if someone were to ask me how my day's going and I'm at the grocery store, I just go, oh, you know how it is? Wake up every day, punch that time clock. That's right. All right, hold on. Let's try this.
Starting point is 00:48:41 I'm working at H-EB and you're buying, I don't know, the hemorrhoid pets. Yeah. And you're checking, like as you normally do. Hey, how's it going, my man? How you doing today, big guy? Good thanks. Nice, nice. What's, uh, what's you're getting up?
Starting point is 00:48:58 to today in Austin. Oh, what? Working hard or hardly working, which is it going to be today? Yeah, what? There was a car that could come and crash through the front of the store right out.
Starting point is 00:49:15 I so wish that there was a place that offered discounts if you small-talked. That there was like a higher baseline price, but if you small-talked and had a nice little chat, you could get reductions. It's like fill a bar, and then the
Starting point is 00:49:29 The discounts roll in. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like $3 off the item. I would go to a place that was the opposite. They give you discounts if you talk less. Oh, wow. Yeah, but that's no fun for what we're imagining with Gavin. I want Gavin to have to small talk awkwardly as much as possible.
Starting point is 00:49:47 That's what brings me joy. Gavin quietly shopping. I don't want that. Yeah, I need like an Eric phrasebook. So, you know, waking up, punching the clock or whatever you said. What's the other one? Punking up. Punching the clock.
Starting point is 00:49:59 Oh, you can say wake up every day, punch that time clock, and then they go, I hear that. And then like, you know, because that's just sort of like a thing. And then you can say, if somebody's asking you, how is it going, you just be like, oh, you can say, oh, you know, just being like Fred Savage treating every day like the Wonder Years. And then they'll just, yeah. And they'll just go kind of like, because that, like, what do you say to that? Nothing. Now do the same, Gavin, but with a British reference.
Starting point is 00:50:29 say like, oh, wasn't his sister Olivia Diabo? I always liked her. Is that what they would say? So it's like a small talk, Uno Reverse. Yeah. Yeah, that's what you're trying to do. You're just trying to get the onus off of you. So that's the end of it.
Starting point is 00:50:45 I should just think, what would Eric say? All right, hit me with a piece of small talk. Hey, hey, my man, how's your day been going? Number one with a bullet. That's it. That's it. That's the dude. Honestly, number one with a bullet?
Starting point is 00:50:58 Not bad. That works. Talk to you again after that. Yeah. What's even mean? You just became, I'll tell you what it means. It means you just, you just graduated to Eric. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:08 I mean, do you say something like that because it sounds like something a normal person would say, but there's not really anything like they don't have anything to say back. If you don't offer something back to them and what you're giving them is number one with a bullet, they got nothing. And you're scot-free. But I just, I don't yet have the formula to come up with. with a new one. All right, hit me with something.
Starting point is 00:51:31 Hit me with a piece of small talk, go. What's you planning on doing today? Slice in the street up. Oh, man, you feel that. Don't do that. Don't do that. See, it's hard to come up with them. Live in the dream.
Starting point is 00:51:49 I'm trying to invent new ones, though. Oh, you're inventing new ones. Can I suggest another tactic for you as well, Gavin? well, Gavin? Yeah. Let's you and I say, I'll be you and, uh, and, uh, you be the, the person initiating small talking. Hey, how's your day going? No English. Just pretend you don't know the language. Yeah, but here's what's going to happen to me though. Okay, uh, we'll do that again. How's your day going? No English. Aren't you Andrew though from regulation?
Starting point is 00:52:24 Ah, somebody thinks highly of themselves. Is that used in character or are you saying that to me now? I'm saying that to you now. You're at the B and Q? You think you're going to get a slow-mo guys? You look like them. It's not hard. That happens all the time.
Starting point is 00:52:43 I can't pretend I'm foreign. No, you can. You just look like them. Try the, all right, try the no English thing with me. All right, here we go. Hey, how's it going, buddy? You haven't a good day so far? No English.
Starting point is 00:52:55 No English. Well, tell Dan I said hi, big fan. When you say no English with the British accent. Sorry, old chap, don't speak any English. It's really something, man. Yeah, you'd have to change the accent. You couldn't do a British, no English. My face is the thing that I can't change, though.
Starting point is 00:53:25 I mean, with plastic surgery, you could. Do you, now, do you, with these exercises that we've gone through so far, Gavin, do you feel like you are in any way better prepared to go out into the world now? Like, do you think this has helped? I think I'm gaining the confidence to try random sentences. For sure. Here's the, okay, the problem is that this is on the podcast. If you pulled the no English card,
Starting point is 00:53:47 I would think as the person, I would think I saw someone who looks exactly like Gavin, but clearly isn't Gavin because Gavin knows English. it wouldn't that seems more likely to me than I'm interacting with Kevin and he's pretending he doesn't speak the English language you think someone who looks like me saying no English with my voice they'll just think oh it must look like him
Starting point is 00:54:11 I well you'd have to modify the voice a little bit you put a little effort in you got to you perform a little bit a slight amount take like 80% of the effort you put in the laser team and put it into the no English. Okay.
Starting point is 00:54:29 And you could, I think, persuade some people. Hmm. Have you ever been recognized only from laser team? I feel like I've asked this before. That would be crazy. That would be such a wild that, like, they have no other points of reference for anything you've done. They've only seen Laser Team.
Starting point is 00:54:47 No, I don't think so. That would be amazing. Aren't you Woody from Laser Team? Yeah. Was that your name? No English. No English. Go to the Colette.
Starting point is 00:55:01 Just go, no Russian. I'm trying to think if I was going to list iconic Woody's, how far down Woody from Laser Team would be. Oh. Oh, should we do a Woody draft? Yeah. You got a woodpecker.
Starting point is 00:55:14 You got a toy story. Harrelson. Should I put it on the list of drafts we should do? I don't know that there's not wood. But we can look into it. What? Wood not wood. Would not would.
Starting point is 00:55:28 You also might have thrown. I was going to suggest it earlier, but we flew past it. But a pig draft might not be a bad idea. I thought of a lot of pigs in my head while we were doing that. Oh yeah, there's some great pigs. So just straight up, just a pig draft. Yeah, pig draft. Just a pig.
Starting point is 00:55:43 Like, like, pig virus from Howard Stern. Porky the pig. Babe. Pig iron. Et cetera, et cetera. Oh, you want a fun fact about babe? Yes. James Cromwell is in that movie. Right. He's the guy. He's the, he's the farmer guy. His dad was a farmer. And he never really got to see the peaks of his acting career. He passed before he hit his like stride essentially. And when he was filming Babe, he realized that he was in essentially the exact same outfit his dad wore. And he saw his reflection. while filming that scene
Starting point is 00:56:27 of the that'll do that'll do whatever whatever he says pig that'll do and for him that was like seeing his dad essentially acknowledging his career
Starting point is 00:56:39 like he was he knew that that was a great movie and that that was a good role and he looked like his dad and so he saw the reflection and for him it was like closure of his dad seeing what he had accomplished
Starting point is 00:56:53 and approving of it How old was James Cromwell in this moment? 17. What did Babe come out? 1995? I couldn't. James Cromwell is like the type of guy where he could have been 60. He was like 55.
Starting point is 00:57:11 He was like 55. It's a weird, weird age to still be seeking your dad's approval. Especially that late into his career. If you never got it. I guess. Wow, he's six for seven. That's a tool man. Wow, really?
Starting point is 00:57:24 That's way too tall. Bet you he's like 6.5 now. Six to work, maybe. People shrink when they age. That's true. That's true. Did you guys know that there was a period of time when England was run,
Starting point is 00:57:42 what was puritanical, where it was illegal to sing Christmas carols? What? Yeah, it was, you were only, it was, uh, uh, Sundays were the only liturgical days. That was the only day. you were allowed to celebrate Christ in any way.
Starting point is 00:57:56 So if you were singing Christmas carols or celebrating Christmas outside of church on a Sunday, that was considered a sin. I read all about this morning. Was this when Scrooge was president? Did you say president or present? President. Oh, I think it was when he was president.
Starting point is 00:58:11 Yeah, he was president of England, yeah. Yeah, I remember that. Absolutely. That was before tape. Is there a president of England, Gavin? No. Because Ireland has a president. A different country?
Starting point is 00:58:24 has a president? Yeah, Ireland has a president. Aren't you like a citizen of like the British Commonwealth, Andrew? Yeah, it's technically yeah. We don't have a president though, but Ireland does. So does, I mean,
Starting point is 00:58:41 so is France. Is it like a real president or is a fake president? The fuck does that mean? Because, well, Ireland has a fake president where their president isn't actually the head of the country. It is like a essentially like you're the mascot of the country from my understanding. You have like no essential political influence and you're actually not allowed to leave the country
Starting point is 00:59:03 if you're the president of Ireland while you're president. You can't go out of, you can't do like foreign negotiations of it? From my understanding. How confident are you in all of this? 85% sure. Wow, 85 is pretty high. 85 is pretty high. Listen, it's a better grade than I ever got in high school. so I'm gonna I'm gonna trust you.
Starting point is 00:59:26 It was purely based on this sort of falls apart. No, no, this is where this is cemented in the fact. Potter McGregor wanted to become president of Ireland and people were like, that's not, you don't understand how any of this works. You're basing it off of you just understand
Starting point is 00:59:44 American politics in their system. You don't understand how the hierarchy actually works here. President is not in control of the country in any way. It is essentially a mouthpiece. position. If you could be a mouthpiece for anything, what would you be a mouthpiece for?
Starting point is 01:00:00 Like the spokesperson for something. Oh, what would I advocate? The way did I mask is something I use every day and I really enjoy and I lose it sometimes. And it does make a significant impact in my sleep when I don't have it. Do you only have one? I only have one and I wake up often in a pair.
Starting point is 01:00:24 of having to do something. Day starting, I go, ah, and I rip my head mask off, and I'll just, I'll lose it. Head mask. Why don't you just get a five-pack? I could, I guess. I got this one as like a Christmas gift, and it was a little, it was like 50 bucks, so I'm not going to get five of them.
Starting point is 01:00:46 Oh, wow. I want to say. Yeah, there was a Christmas, I think last year maybe, where I was like, I'm going to really focus in on sleep. that will be the thing that everything I ask for is about sleep optimization. Put an air tag in it. Yeah, do I need an Apple thing for an air tag to work? I don't know. Because if I just have the Apple air tag and no other Apple products, I might be in trouble.
Starting point is 01:01:10 You have an Apple laptop, don't you? No, it's gone. Oh. And I had an IMAQ from 2013, and it's retired. I probably wouldn't have worked anyway. No, probably not. I couldn't use Google on it anymore. I couldn't update it
Starting point is 01:01:27 I couldn't use slack on the brow It was a whole thing No way air tag It doesn't even know what an air tag is I'd have to teach it what an air tag was first Well what if it was my air tag And if you lost your eye mask
Starting point is 01:01:39 I could tell you where it was Oh I like that I like that a lot As long as it's kind of near An iPhone in the building I think it would work Well do air tags make beep noises
Starting point is 01:01:51 Yeah I can beep them Okay, well then yeah, that works We could do that You'd have to be prepared to get a lot of texts Saying hey, I need my mask I like that I would always know I would always know where your bed was Yeah, yeah you would
Starting point is 01:02:08 As long as it beeped I lose my phone all the time and I needed a beep We should, Eric's telling us we should wrap this up Before we do, can I Can I get a ruling on something real fast? Yeah, of course Now it's a pointless ruling But it's more for edification
Starting point is 01:02:21 because I wasn't going to use it either way. But when Emily and I were out this morning and we stopped at P. Terry's, I was starving. And I grabbed an breakfast, right? And the only thing they have at P. Terry's for breakfast is an egg burger is what it's called. Here's a picture of the menu right there. Now, the egg burger is a hamburger bun
Starting point is 01:02:42 with, in my case, it had fried egg and pepper jack cheese and bacon on it. And on the menu, it's called a burger. Emily asked me, are you going to count that as a burger? And I said, absolutely not. And she said, but it's called a burger on the menu, so you should be able to. And I was like, I think correct. I think I should be able to count this as a burger.
Starting point is 01:03:05 But it feels against the spirit of the competition, not a competition. It feels against the spirit of what we're doing. And so I decided not to count it. But what, I would have been right to, I'm not done it either way. But I would have been right to count it because it's listed as a burger on a menu, right? It's listed as a burger on a menu. I think our classification was you kind of know it a burgers.
Starting point is 01:03:27 That looks like a burger. It's a burger on the menu. Even though it has no ground beef for Patty or anything. Yeah, totally. Absolutely. Okay. Yeah, I thought so too. But once again, I'm not going to count it because I just, it just doesn't, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:03:42 It's not what I was thinking of. I understand. Yeah. I wouldn't, I wouldn't even venture. I wouldn't even venture to count it. I wouldn't even think to count that. Well, maybe it needs to be slightly. less. Like, it counts,
Starting point is 01:03:54 but if you had 10, it would only count as 9. I get so confusing. We already have the slider scale we got to deal with. That's true. The slider scale does already throw a curve in it all. Okay, well, thank you. So I feel like my instincts were correct there. Yeah, you're absolutely
Starting point is 01:04:09 great instincts, but if somebody did count it, that would be fine, too. It would be fine. But once again, personally, I'm not going to count it. Absolutely. It's what you want your list to be. All right. We appreciate it. Also, not a competition. Not a competition. It's not in the slightest.
Starting point is 01:04:24 It's just a count. And I'm thinking maybe I need to back off on some hamburgers in the new year because I'm, you know, getting cold. I'm not riding my bike. And suddenly I'm packing on weight. And I'm like, why are these jeans tight? And then I went, oh, 41 hamburgers and two words. Speaking of in the new year, can we do a countdown so people can listen to this? 10.
Starting point is 01:04:46 Because this comes out. 9. 8. 7. six, five, five, four, three, three, two, one. Happy 26. Wow, incredible, happy new year. Thank you so much for listening to Regulation for an entire year.
