Hello and welcome to another episode of the Regulation Podcast. This is episode 90. My name is Jeff Ramsey with me. As always, Andrew Gavin, Eric Nick. Andrew Gavin, continue. Hi-ya. Hello. Okay, so Gavin, you asked me a question.

Here we go. We filmed the video. Quite a while ago. Or it was a 2V2 and Eric floated. Great video. I'm really excited about it. We did. It was Nick and I versus Jeff and Gavin.

And we were in different channels. And Eric floated between the two channels and like talk to both sides. you asked me a question today what was the inspiration for that question well at the last meeting we were we were rummaging for a gameplay and we ended up putting out some

cooler duty thing and I was like man I swear there was some better stuff and then I remembered that was that good 2V2 video but then I thought there's a reason I think I remembered you saying something about it being a part of a bigger series so I was like we should either abandon the series and put it out or do the the series. So that's what I was looking for, is trying to figure out what caused you to get to

that place. I just remember the video and I remember it being good. Yes, it was good. Last night, I put in the Slack channel what I think we should do today. And that thing is a follow up to that video. Convenient. That's crazy coincidence. So you coming in with that, I was like, what are you talking about? And you being like, oh, should we drop this? Like, what are we doing this series? I mean, the reason, I mean, I can pull all of this blame and point it straight towards Eric here in a lovely little turn around. Oh my God. We used to put, or at least for a while, I wanted it to be that in the calendar, it said what game we were playing. So then we could all be, you know, download it.

Don't have to rummage through slack. But it went back to just being let's play as a block in the calendar instead of the game. Yeah, we have a meeting on Monday where we go over this stuff, you dunce. And then nobody tells me what we're playing. So there's nothing I can put in there. Yeah. I mean, as soon as we know in the slide, let's put it in the calendar. And then people tell me and then we go, okay, cool.

And then we got it. And so it seems like everyone's on the same page, shut up. And then it seems like everyone's on the same page. And so it doesn't need to necessarily go on there because you already know what this is. So I don't know how this helps you if you know what it is that we're doing already on the day where it's decided. Just put it in the calendar. So if I put it in at 8 a.m., that is the thing that you need. You need.

So if it 8 a.m., when I see that, it goes in. in the calendar before we all say yes, this is what we're doing. That's what you want. I'm just making sure. No, as soon as we know what it is in the slack, pop it in the calendar. That's it. That was 8 a.m. Hey, that's it.

Thank you very much. I'm going to jump in here real fast. And just in Eric's defense here, which, you know, I hate to do. Andrew did alert us to the games we'd be playing today at 1.25 a.m. this morning. Yep. Yep. So that would have been the earliest Eric could have thrown in in the calendar was... I was asleep.

Deep into his sleep. But I check it. morning of the day to make sure I got all the stuff downloaded. Not this morning. Not this morning, apparently. I checked this morning and it said, let's play record. Oh, you check the calendar. You don't check our slack.

I see what you're saying. You don't check the slack. You don't check the slack at all? No, I've checked the slack and I've got those games. But every morning, I'm looking at what we're doing. I'm like, oh, let me go and rummage through the slack again. And if there's been a conversation since that, then I've got to scroll back and try and find what we're doing.

Just put in the calendar. It takes two seconds. Well, no, here's the explanation for the calendar, is I'm the one that ends up coming up with what games were playing most of the time. And I don't always have that answer on Monday. And I have other things I want to focus on and try to figure out what we're going to play.

So I'm confronted with it. It's fine not to have on Monday. I was just asking if you want me to put it in at 8 a.m. on the day that we find out, which is the day we're recording. If that helps you, if that's the help you need, if you need me to do that for you, then Gavin, you got it.

Yeah, let's do it. You got it. No problem. Yeah, man, no sweat. Can I point out that what Gavin's requesting is that it goes to the place he looks at instead of just looking at the Slack? Right. I can look at the Slack for five years. I agree. You can look at the Slack.

Sometimes there's so much conversation in the Slack and I have to scroll all the way back. And it's just like put it in the calendar. I disagree about there being so much conversation in the Slack that it's tough. From 1 a.m. to now. You are talking about season three of face off and posting pictures of a character creator. I made one post of a thing I thought was funny. No, I know, but I'm saying that it's often conversation about games and not just a channel about what we're playing next. Yeah, my point was there was no conversation.

My point was you said it's like there's the way you phrased it was like it's a phone book of chat every time you open that thing. You're referencing one image or one post. Yeah, it just varies week to week. You got it, man. I'll put it in 8 a.m. I'll make sure on the day. You got it, dude, no sweat. I think we could alleviate this situation

if we would identify the games during the Monday meeting and then everybody would know during the meeting and then I would also give Eric ample time to add it to the calendar. What's worse, Gavin? Changing the game on Wednesday night and just picking an arbitrary game on Monday

or not having it there at all. I don't think it's difficult to come up with a game on Monday either. Yeah, you've never done it. I mean, do you want to do a rotating thing? Interesting. I did it last week. I brought a game, I brought the GTA 4 video to the table where we filmed it. What you mean?

You did. You absolutely did. It's phenomenal. I can keep doing it if you're struggling to pick a game on Monday. I just, it's just your, it's become your thing. It's become my thing because nobody else was doing it. I felt it was collaborative. I throw out games in the slack.

Nobody responds to them. I set out games two days ago. Gavin and I were looking at Star Dvalley and what was the other one? I guess it's Stardue Valley. And it's fucking crickets. Oh, I didn't even see that. Well, they're all the conversation.

Easy to miss. Yeah. So much stuff. Yeah. In the phone book. Anyway, should we add sausage talk and get back to the episode? This is the episode.

I'd like to also point out that right before we got recording, this conversation started. Eric said, stop, we need to get this on camera. And Andrew said, this is not interesting enough to record. I didn't realize that it would evolve into. I love it.

Oh, I think immediately, as soon as it was brought up by Gavin, I went, well, certainly this needs to be recorded. Absolutely. Gavin has an issue. Gavin has an issue with one thing.

We've got to get this. in the episode 100%. That should be the name of this episode, Gavin has an issue. Gavin does have an issue. I'm happy to jump in with gay picks. I've done it. Hell yeah.

I believe it. The GTA 4 thing we did was great. I, I just, I did the, sometimes, like the, I don't know what it solves for you, I guess. And I'm not saying you're wrong in any way. I just, as a different person, I don't know how your day changes based

on it being in the calendar or not. I just look at my calendar every morning. I see what's going on. When do you look at the slack? Yeah, what's the slack coming to play? What's your morning look like? And what time would you say roughly you look at the calendar versus when you look at the slack?

I probably look at the calendar 8.30. I see some generic block recording. So then I rifle through the slack. So 8.30, you look at the calendar. 831, you look at the slack. And then you rifle through the two messages since last time you saw it? I think what we need to start doing

is sending messages via the calendar. Just put messages in as you'll see that first. Can we have a day when we only reply with calendar entries? Gavin, the worst part about all this is, you're right, and I'll update the calendar. I'm totally on board for that, no problem. Yeah, I mean, for example,

if I brought this up last week... You don't have to keep selling it. I just told you you're right. Yeah, I'll keep going. If I brought this up If I brought this up last week, I would have had to scroll back through pages of you not understanding my GTA installation instructions. There was no pages.

I didn't reply to it. I did understand it. I'm the only one that understood it. No, Eric. You and Nick. Or me and Nick. Why did? Andrew, why did you think he was talking to you?

I understood it. Oh, he's talking to me? What? I thought you're talking to me. That was directed at me. The guy who had a problem. I did nail it. I just, I thought that I was the one that you're going after.

No, Andrew, I'm on, I'm on your side. Okay, this is what happened. I was so wrapped up in my head of, I was thinking, yeah, I'm on my client's side here. I'm 100% and I was getting ready to say, I'm glad Eric that you can accommodate my client in this way. And I just wasn't listening to the part where you aimed it. And I just assumed it was me. Yeah, instead you puffed up like a cat and dived in front of Eric. I did.

Anyway, we've got to end sausage talk. Did you see my slack, Gavin, about the. the coin. No. Where was that? Great. He was in Slack? He was in Slack. It 8.31. You should have been looking.

In relation to this episode. Do you have a coin? I assume everyone would check the Slack before the recording, especially in a time zone where you're two hours ahead. I mean, I've got coin-like

objects. What, okay, okay, can you just give me a list from most coin-like to least coin-like objects that you have that you're thinking of? Yeah. Costa. Okay, and that's most coin-like? That's pretty coin-like. Uh, keys aren't really like a coin. Oh.

Do you have anything flippable that's 50-50? It's all they need from you. Yeah, Costa. A coaster. Oh, I thought you said a poster. I was like, what? I also- said poster. I heard poster. Everybody

100%. Coaster, I totally, when you're like poster, I was like, oh, he's really reaching. He doesn't have anything. Yeah, he's true. Speaking of before we get to the reason that we're going to be flipping coins today, Andrew, can we just mention that the coins czar

made a proclamation on Monday during the break show and through a complicated series of wheel spins and coin flips, a determination was made on the potential reorder of the regulation coin. Do you want to talk about that coins are at all?

Yeah. So we once again put it to the coin and we got a little bit extreme with some of the values. Andrew, are you wherever the outcome of this? I am. I watched it all happened alive terrifyingly. So that was some significant financial risk. There was. You know, we gave it to the wheel.

We gave it to the coin. And the coin did probably the most tame thing it could have done. Wow. Do you want to talk about where we were on both ends of the spectrum? Like what was the least order? What was the highest potential order? On the wheel. So we spun the wheel to pick both sides of the coin.

And then we would flip the coin to determine how many coins we order. On the wheel was zero, 16, 1,000, 3,000, 5,000 again, 9,800, 16,000, and 45,000 coins. It still makes me like, it turns my spine to glass when I hear 40,000. 35,000 coins. That is like, there's no way. Second wheel's what gets me, man. On the second wheel was half a car, go back to first wheel, go to third wheel, flip a coin, heads go back to first wheel, tails stay here, and go back to first wheel, spin and double the value. Oh God, no, no, no, no. So there was the potential for a 90,000 coin order, which, to be honest, we just probably wouldn't have done.

We would have had to accommodate it, but whoever came up with that idea would have been in some serious fucking trouble. Go to the bank and get a loan. And it ended up picking 5,000 coins. And I think there were a lot of people in the chat who were disappointed at how middle of the road it became. And then we thought we could make it special

by potentially adding the date to the new coin or the year, as coins are often labeled with the year. And then we put that to the coin. and the coin decided no. So we've wanted 5,000 of the exact same coin. Completely unchanged. The coin just said more. More of me. That's it. Period. Genius. Love it. The coin just wanted more of itself. It wanted to multiply. And it looked very rigged. But as you can see from the VOD of that break show, it was all done life. It's crazy. I was in Dilbot ready to destroy the table, depending on the... I was just in Dilbaughbott.

mode ready if needed to just break everything. I laid in bed that night and tried to think about the practicality of what we would have to do to order the 90,000 coins if it had come to that. And it was, I had trouble sleeping. It was rough. I think the practicality would have been small allotments over the next 12 years. God, no, 90,000 is so insane. I had it set up that we would break it into three sections.

We would buy it in thirds. Yeah. And then use the money from the money from the... the first third to fund the second, fingers crossed. I mean, the odds of that happening were low, but absolutely crazy. Your history with those things, though, makes it feel not low. It made it feel guaranteed to be the worst possible scenario, I would argue. Even though, statistically, you're right. It was lower.

Yeah. It was fun, though. I like the idea of asking the coin every time, like what we're doing with it. I do too. I think it's very fun. I think is there a scenario where you can lose coinsar status? Like if this coin doesn't sell out

are you... Now we're talking. Okay, cool. I kind of like this. No, I think I should just have to go up for re-election. Oh, power vacuum. But isn't the re-election...

Is the re-election the coin selling out or not? Like, what would... Because you didn't get voted in so it feels weird that you'd get voted out. It feels like the same metric used to elect you should also be the same metric used to release.

Was I not elected by the group after the success of the 5,000? You were, but you were elected because it's sold out. You gained the status because you were right, it was a good thing to order that amount. So if you come up with a voting system, like I'm all for whatever you want to do, I feel like there have to be stakes for the czar.

What if it's like this? What if once a year, Gavin flips a coin. Heads, he becomes czar for the next year. Tails, it goes up to a vote. Wow. Then everybody gets in a quarter, including Gavin, we all get in a group, and we flip a coin. Tails, whoever rolls, tails is out.

Everybody whose heads flips again. Oh, incredible. Whoever rolls tails is out, whoever's heads until there's one left. That person becomes the coins are for the next year. The coin decides all. I love that. What if we all tails? Then no one.

then it's a czarless year yeah that's a pretty good sonic game to me all tails no sonic just infinite tails if it's all tails

Nick we all flip again damn wow this is great of coin flips though I'm back I'm back with the movie

soundtrack game TV program game are you are you back for another round I'm back for another round

Are you back with a new name? What is happening? What did you just call that? I'm sorry, are you saying, are you say you got reelected as the games are after the last week's game? No, I'm not saying I got elected as any type of czar. I'm saying we played a game last week that I came up with. We got some notes. What's it called?

I'm sorry? I don't think it ever had a name. Uh-huh. I haven't named it yet. So maybe that'll be. Regulation game. Yeah, it's a regulation game. Don't.

That was, you know, it was a pilot episode. we're figuring things out, kinks and whatnot. I mean, there's usually a nice long gap between the pilot and the first. Oh, this one got greenlit immediately after this. Oh, I did? We got to get this out there. ASAP.

Before we begin the game, can I just say very briefly, as a part of my new responsibilities in the company, I listen to every episode, and then I comment on the previous episode, and I have a few notes. But my big note, and I'll just hit you with this one

since we're rolling into the game, is that, and I know Eric hates when I critique our previous episodes, but when I have to, I have to. I have got to say that the game portion of last week's episode might be the funniest thing I've listened to in the last six months. I was riding my bike listening to the episode yesterday and I was giggling uncontrollably the entire time.

There were people on the hike and bike trail in Austin that just were walking along, mind of their business, and then an old gray-haired dude on a bicycle goes by, boom, going, woo-hoo-hoo! And they just hear me, they just hear me giggling off into the distance because I couldn't fucking stop laughing. That, Andrew, that game was one of the best things we've done in a long time. I loved it.

It just kept giving too. Like the fact that we got through all that arguing and then at the end, Eric didn't know what we'd been doing. I thought maybe it was DVD titles also. I thought maybe it was DVD chapters, you know, we're splitting it out across a bunch of media. I was excited to be a part of something. And that's why we got green lit. Right away, maybe.

Fantastic job, but I'm so excited for round two. Round two, everything is more precise, more clear. More precise. Yeah, we've restructured the format. There's not going to be no confusion about are these DVD scenes, are these songs. But first, everybody has a coin, right? Or in some cases, not a coin, but a flip-blower. Some of us have coasters, but yeah.

Yeah. The theme of this game, now all three things have a theme. They're under one theme and that theme is so nice we did it twice. That's the theme. We're now doing this in teams.

It is Nish and Eric against Jeff and Gavin. Now how this will work is one side will start first I will read the first track you will discuss amongst yourselves what you think it may be. Make a guess.

If you're right, you win the point. If not, we go to track two, and the next side, the other side, then does the same process. I just have a quick question. Just a quick question. How do we discuss this? Just in this call. So in front of the competition? So in front of the competition, we just have this discussion?

Yeah. You speculate on what you think it could be, or maybe you just, you got a gut answer. You just throw it out there. Does that make sense? This is the precise, simplified version that's game. Listen, you'll get it. You'll get there. You'll get there.

The talking to each other part is so something. This is really, I'm excited. Well, only one side can, when it's their turn, it's like having the talking stick. The other side can't talk. They just got to listen. Oh, okay. Oh, there's turns? Yes, there are turns that goes back and forth.

Gavin already put it his first dance. He did. Incorrect. So are we, are we slacking you at all in this? No, no slack. Okay, no slack. Get out of here. God.

I mean, you could. see where that question comes from, though, right, Andrew? Yep. Just curious. No deception. No deception. Just speculation between two friends, having a good time. I like the idea of green lighting a show and it comes back as a completely different.

Yeah, we got some notes, so we reworked the whole thing to be completely different. Can I ask what the coin is for? That's what we're about to get into. Eric, Nick, do you have your coin ready? Yeah. I said, bring your coins in integrity, because I'm not. I'm just trusting. I'm going to trust all of you in this.

Nick, you're going to flip to decide what side goes first. What side plays first on the first one? Pick heads or tails to represent either side. Say what it is. Then flip your coin and reveal who is going to play first in the first game. All right. Heads. My team.

Tails. Opposite team. Here we go. Flip it. It is tails. Off the team. Shit. Okay.

That's bad. Now, one of the new changes is that you will get to pick the category so you know if it'll be a movie, a TV show, or a game. Jeff, I need you to grab your coin. You will flip to decide who picks the category first. Okay. So heads, it'll be Gavin and I, tails, it'll be the other two. Okay? I'll be flipping with integrity in three, two, one.

rolled off the table. Hold on. I have too much integrity to hold on. It's bits. It's building. It's heads. That's Gavin and I picked the we picked the category. Okay. Gavin, get your coaster out. Yeah. Designate aside.

What you're flipping is if the things delegated out to the teams remain the same or they flip. What? All right. Yeah, go ahead and go ahead and designate that.

Okay, the cat is same and the blank side is the other thing. Ready? Yeah. It's the cat. So it's the same. So nothing's changed. Okay. Okay, Eric, pull your coin out.

Okay. Eric is sharing his screen. My coin is out. Oh, I want a true integrity. This is full on integrity. Yeah. It is, okay. Oh, it's a wheel.

Well, yeah, what's more coin than the wheel? Oh, it's a coin wheel. It's the wheel with the coin in the middle. Yeah. Okay, Eric, you flip. You have to pick one side. Okay. One side, we start the game.

The other side, we do that all over again. Oh, my God. Flip your coin. Heads is we do it all over again. Tails is we start the game. Here we go. Flipping my coin. Uh-oh.

Oh, no. Uh-oh. Oh, no. Oh, and boys, we start the game. It's a good coin flip. It's a good coin flip. Okay, here we go. I'm going tails as me and Eric

and the other guys are on the other side. Here we go. I thought we started the game. I thought heads started the game. Head starts the game, Tails, we do it all over again. No, no, no. Heads was we do it all over again.

Tails was we start the game. No, no, it was the other way. No way. Well, we're doing it all over again. No, what about if Andrew flips a coin and we decide what happened. Oh, what? What?

What? Yeah, that's true. Andrew hasn't flipped a coin yet. Well, yeah, I'm the host. I don't flip the one of them. I'm in the game. Nick? Maybe as has the games are.

So, Tails is you, heads as us. Yeah, you got it. Here we go. Flip it now. It's heads. God, bless it. So it's us again. Yeah, you guys.

Okay. Same thing. So far. And then I flip. Yeah. I'm going to keep it the same. Heads, it's Gavin and I'm making the decision on the category. Tails, it is the others.

It's Tails this time It's the other Okay, we gotta split Gavin Flip your coin Flip your coaster All right Cat, it's the first thing Tails, it's the other thing

That doesn't help I don't remember I don't either Andrew what was cat It's the same It's the same Okay, so nothing's changed No no no

I'm clarified I haven't flipped the coaster Here we go Wait what? What? What? Hold on It didn't flip

It just fell off my hand Hold on That's a good flip. Oh, it's the cat again. It's the same. Nothing's changed. Eric, you only flip once. We're not doing that again.

What? Okay. You want to flip. No, go ahead. I thought you wouldn't want to flip. I was trying to flip. I was trying to flip. Okay.

You flip again. Okay. Heads, we do it all over again. Tails, we start the game. We got that. Heads. We do it all over again. And tails we start the game.

Here we go. Uh-oh. Son of a bitch. Uh-oh. Wait, hang on. Oh, we start the game. And it's... Yeah!

Tales and boys, it's time to start the game. There is no right time for better health. There's just now. So try launching the new year with AG1, the easiest and most stunning habit. I started taking AG1 and AGZ about three months ago now, and I got to say, I really have gotten to enjoy it. I don't always have the opportunity to eat healthy and get all the vitamins and nutrients I need in a day, and AG1 has my back. I really appreciate that. AGZ at night though, whoo. Take that about 90 minutes before you go to bed. You will crawl into that bed,

feeling warm and cozy, and you will drift to sleep and have such a good sleep. I really have come to rely on it, and that's because I'm consistent with it. Sustainable health is about consistency, not perfection. So simplify your nutrition with AG1. It's a multivitamin, pre-and-primprove probiotics, superfood, and antioxidants all in one scoop. It's the opposite of complexity. It takes 20 seconds, one scoop, just eight ounces of water, and you are done. Drink it first thing in the morning, even before you have coffee, before you check your phone and get stuck scrolling for an hour, it's going to become a micro habit that anchors everything else.

You got, uh, they go first. Jeff and Gavin. Do we still need the coin? No, coins are done. We're done with the coins. Just making sure. Just making sure. Coins are gun.

Nick and Eric, you pick what you want them to have to, what the pool is. Is it movie, TV program, or game? Oh. Um, let's do, uh, let's do TV. TV. Okay. once again, the theme. So nice.

We did it twice. Gavin submitted another. He did. Gavin made another pick, yeah. Trigger made six. So nice we did it twice. Are you guys ready? Jeff and Gavin,

are you ready for your first track? Yeah. The sloth. What do you think, Jeff? All right. Cool, man. I'm just thinking of Ice Age.

It's a TV show, though, right? TV show. They never had a that never had a spin off. Andrew, now is this a TV program that we've discussed on the show before or could it be anything? It could be anything.

So it could be like the theme of episode one was things that we had discussed but that's not necessarily the theme of episode two. The theme of episode two is so nice we did it twice. Okay.

Well, I could be confusing but yes. So it's like to the theme that we already did but it's not the same theme. Every episode is a different theme. Every episode is a different game. The paint was changed.

The engine is still the same. All right. Well, Gav, Planet Earth, that's an interesting guess. I have nothing to contribute. Well, maybe we'll listen to Track 2. Yeah, track 2. Well, no, if you say no, it then goes to Eric and Nick. It really is a completely different game.

Told you. Right. So do you want to make a guess of what it is? All right, hold on then. The sloth. Wait, is it sloth or the sloth? The sloth. You watch a lot of sloth TV?

Could just be a slow man. Hmm. Who was slow? Hmm. I feel like Kevin James is slow. Maybe King of Queens? Yeah. Yeah, King of Queen.

What would that have of school? The sloth is not part of the King of Queens soundtrack. Eric and Nick, it's to you. Are you ready for track two? We are. Home to dragons. I have a good idea about this. Okay, one more time.

Say that one more time. Home to Dragons. Nick, do we want to guess planet Earth? Andrew, we're going to guess planet Earth. That is incorrect. Fuck. Track three, back to Jeff and Gavin. Albatross dance.

All right, now I know what it is, Nick. I got it now. Really? Oh, yeah. Gav, go ahead and have the confidence that Eric did real fast. It's very animal-y. Dragons got me thinking Game of Thrones and House the Dragon, but I don't remember there being a sloth or an albatross.

Yeah, but an albatross could be metaphorical, you know. That could be golf. Oh What's a golf TV show? Home to Dragons I mean I feel like the safe bet's just to say Game of Thrones Yeah go for it

Game of Thrones is your guess That is incorrect back to Eric and Nick All right Racer Snakes versus Aguannas Okay Nick I think it's planet Earth There was a sequel to Planet Earth

I think it's planet Earth too. Because it's the thing so nice we did it twice. Andrew, Planet Earth 2. They're on the board. Nick and Eric get the point. After I guess Planet Earth, I immediately realized where I fucked up. Planet Earth too. Oh, God, it's a sequels deal.

Got it. Yeah, yeah. Great job. Thank you. Gavin has dropped from the call. Gavin was so mad he hung up. Gavin was immediately on it. planet Earth instantly. He was on the right track. He had it. You were there, Gavin.

So nice thing did it twice, Gavin. I also said before I guess that, oh, so it's sequels. And then I've just said a complete fool. You had all the pieces in front of you. You just not did not see the board. If I had a jigsaw piece made of two pieces, I couldn't put it together. So now Jeff and Gavin, you have to decide, is it going to be a movie or a game for Eric and Nick? the take-on. Do you have a preference, Gath? What do you think is harder,

movie or game? I think they might mess up a game if they have a, I think they might too. Play it. Yeah. If it's not mill for foot-related,

Nick's not going to know it. Yeah, that's, I mean, it knocks us out halfway, man, that's ugly. Okay. And when you're right, you're right, you're right, though.

It is. Nick and Eric, are you ready for your time? Oh, yeah, we're ready. We're locked in. Track one. Pure, Gint,

morning mood. What? Smell, smell that. Smell that. P-E-E-R-G-Y-N-T Morning Mood is in quotes then

after that What the fuck? What is pure Gant? What the fuck is... Life is strange too. Oh, good. Great guess. Oh, they just put out a trailer

for a new one that would be topical. There are sequels. That is incorrect. Ah! Jeff and Gavin back to you. The next track Bjorn's theme Motherfucker

fuck you you suck Gaff Are you guys really felt like Eric and Nick think it's incredibly obvious Is this a video game

Is that what you're new Then it's the only Bjorn I know in a video game would be in Peggle So I'm gonna guess Peggle 2 That is correct Kevin Of course it is

Are on the board So Pagel 2 action. Andrew, that's ridiculous. What? Pure, we got pure Gint, morning mood, and they got... Yeah, listen. I didn't label the tracks. Yeah, I didn't list them this way.

They did. Morning mood is like the menu, isn't it? Where it's like, man. I did skip the first one, the first one, which is Pagel 2 splash. And we went right into the piece. your game. But if it was Jimmy's peg, you would have said it.

Oh, absolutely, because that's not Pagel 2. It's a different, it's a different combination of work together. We're all tied up. We're all tied up. Going into the final round

with Jeff and Gavin having the first shot to close out the game and win, are you guys ready for track one? Yes. I have a feeling that this,

that this might go on or it might not. And this is, and this is a, we already a TV show and we did a game. So this is a movie? This is a movie. Okay.

Track one. Woody's Roundup. Do you know a lot of Woody's? The only thing I could think of is Toy Story. Toy Story 2? Laser Team 2. Oh shit. Andrew loves bringing up that laser team.

It really could be Laser Team 2, couldn't it? I don't remember what happens in the beginning of that movie. Was there a soundtrack to that film? I don't know. You you you you're Woody yeah I know I know I know it's uh did you have some kind of roundup were you rounding up towels or water or whatever like wasn't that what your character did yeah I thought I say like one thing and get sucked through a hole well that's probably that doesn't

sound round up even maybe it's more maybe was more over-thinking it maybe it's just holes around hmm what do you suck up I it's probably Toy Story 2 what do you suck up Yeah, go for it. I think we're going to ignore the potential of it being Gavin, and that would it itself be a very funny joke, though, and say it's probably Toy Story 2. Jeff and Gavin lock in Toy Story 2. I so badly wanted you guys to talk yourself into Laser Team 2.

It is Toy Story 2. You two get the point and you win the game. Congratulations. Wow. Yeah, Nick, I think Nick summed it up there. That was great, Andrew. I liked it a lot. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

We modified it. I can't wait to see what this game is next time. Yeah. I just think it's wild that we greenlit a pilot in a podcast episode, and then the show started in another podcast episode. Yeah. That's, you know, magic of filmmaking. Yeah.

There it is, Gavin, the magic of filmmaking right there. Okay. That a pivot off of games. Yeah. I had a, I had a ridiculous big head moment. I had an embarrassing, a new feat accomplished with my giant skull. Feet, feet or head? Feet or head?

Go ahead. I'm with you, Gavin. I thought that was funny. Feet or head. No, no, no, no. Yeah, don't worry about it. Okay. What did my feet have to do with anything?

Okay, so it's head. Got it. All right. Yeah, go ahead and continue. Go. Yeah, it's head. It's a head thing. I was trying to sleep.

Had a terrible sleep. I'll see now I feel like I'm missing something with these feet. I'm fixated. I feel like Nick over here. No, no, no, no. It's a tron thing, man. Oh, it's a tron thing? That's why I didn't get it.

I ever saw. That one. Sleeping in bed. I had a terrible sleep. I couldn't sleep. It was over the weekend. 3 a.m. I finally fall asleep.

I slept terribly the day before. Fell sleep. Everything's fine. I wake up suddenly 8 a.m. It's a crack noise. The elastic on my CPAP mask snapped off. You blew out? I blew up the elastic on the thing.

I guess it was too tight and I was laying in bed. And it popped. off and then air shooting everywhere. And it's never been a worst time to have a giant head. And I couldn't, I was so disoriented from the sudden snapping and then being forced awake and just so badly wanting to go back to sleep. I was like stumbling, trying to process how do I fix, like what happened in disbelief that it just snapped entirely, which it did.

So I ended up needing to have to tie it. I just tied a knot of the elastic and then that kind of worked and I was able to go back to sleep for a little bit. How do you sort of like eyes still closed trying to preserve the sleepiness or are you up and about? No, my eyes are fully away. I de-assemble it further

because I'm like, I just can't understand how to fix this. And then I realized, oh, I just can't. It snapped. But I took it apart fully just in so much pain of just wanting more sleep and being so tired.

So you must have it really tight. Do you do the over the nose and mouth one? No, it's just nose. Just nose. So surely it's like shoving your nose inwards if it's that tight. It might be. Does it hurt? No, so I adjusted the tightness recently.

I used to not use any tightness on it. I would just put it on and then I was good to go, which I think is another big head thing that it just works without needing to tighten the strap at all. And then I thought, oh, maybe it's better if I tighten it a little bit. So I tightened it. and maybe I guess I tightened it too far because I woke up suddenly when it snapped and then hissed at me.

I'm just imagining you sound asleep it blowing off your face and snapping. I'm just imagining like what your hands would do. Like were you just like kind of like arms flailing at first trying to figure out what was happening? Oh arms definitely flailing. For sure. I fall asleep sometimes to waterfowl noises.

Waterfowl, Jesus. Waterfall noises. And it's just like, it's a noise. And sometimes I'll wake up disoriented thinking my CPAP is leaking somewhere. So I'm kind of used to the panic of like, ah, everything's broken. But I can't believe I snapped a CPAP mask with my head. Have you ever thought of trying to fall asleep to ducks and dees quacking? Well, that's an interesting one.

No. Waterfowl. Waterfowl. See, that one I got. The feet and head thing still don't really understand. stand, but water foul. It was a whole topic of conversation last episode about would you rather go into Toronto World Feet First or Head First?

It was actually your prompt. It was your whole thing. You're right. You're right. You're right. That's on me. Gavin, is that why you were saying that? No.

Yeah. Oh, sorry. I just listened to that episode this more. Actually, yeah, last night. So I misinterpreted. No, no, you just said feet right? When you started talking about your head, like F, E-A-T, and then I was like, you talk about your feet or your head.

Oh, new feet. Ah, okay. Huh, I get it. That was, hey. Well, it was a stretch. I just threw it out. No, I got it. I thought it was good.

That is good. Yeah. I'm glad that you're my client, Gavin. It would be business for a while. Speaking of you, my client, how do you feel about a video I put out recently? Oh, I mean, I gave you credit for

recommending us on Patreon as your manager. I think you went above and beyond. And that any complaints from people on a podcast. that you do that is apparently called the Regulation Podcast, can get fucked. That's some heavy promotion. Gerple glasses? How did it feel putting that all together, Gavin? If you guys aren't aware in a Slow Bow Guys video, Gavin really promoted the Gerpler in a very

strong way. I want to thank you personally. Really do appreciate it. How did it feel putting it together to get us that way? Well, I had to get Meg to help me strap all that shit to my head. It was quite difficult. and people in the comments extremely confused. Good, that's the intrigue.

We need that. The intrigue is what gets people like they're talking about it now. Oh, what's this? Ooh, I got to look up the Gerpler and then, oh, what? Oh, is this something else? And then now they're here. If only we could line that up with a Gerpler being. Oh, yeah.

Planet's the line and all that. Uh-huh. We'll get there. We'll see what you can do. I know it was awesome. Awesome. as your manager Gavin I just want you to know that you don't have to accept their price

I just want to state that you don't have to accept it you can if you want to you don't have to what is the price praise praise praise oh praise I also heard price is this the fucking miscommunication episode yeah it's true that

it's like the five people have five different conversations I'm gonna raise the price and Gavin's gonna flip his poster it's very clear yeah damn over here talking about Tron.

What percentage do you take, Andrew, for being my manager? That's for me to know and you'd find out. Wow. Wow, that's solid. Wow. Gee. Doing the thing where you look at your bills and all of a sudden, for some reason, you're paying $15,000 for towels every month.

My... Getting under the... Yeah. My favorite part of doing that cut to me having Gerpler on my head. I just said like a line of the video without them on and then I repeated the line with them on

but if you listen carefully you could I did the cut under some B-roll but you could hear if you listen carefully my voice start echoing off the bottom of Gurp it's like mid-sentence

it was fun it was fun and it looked great you did a great job that was really good thanks that was a fun unexpected thing

I have a little bit of housekeeping being real fast just before the episode gets away from us. Should probably let the audience know if you haven't seen it, mentioned, talked about or posted elsewhere. We have changed the time of the break show from 3 p.m. on Monday's central time to 4 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Mondays to 501 p.m. That's right. We have added an entire minute to the break show. We just want to do a little bit extra for you guys. So we made it one minute longer and we pushed back to later in the day. Also, Nick, I wanted to let you know, I bought you lactation cookies. I got three different brands. So here's what I'm thinking in our attempt to get you to lactate.

Maybe you'll become the lactation cookie expert. Maybe you'll review all the new lactation cookies as they come out. And that could be a thing we do going forward. Also, it was mentioned in the last episode, we need to make a Falcon tea towel. And I really like that idea. And I want to make sure we actually follow through with that. In addition to Eric, you wanted to play a game called Sugar Plum Casino Party that I went and looked at. And it looks really fun and I think that we should do that. Cool. Can I toss some housekeeping out also?

Yeah. We're in the middle of our spring golf tournament, which just began and runs all the way through the end of April, goes through the last day of April. We will be tallying our points from each round of a golf game that we play. We've played one so far, but I expect more golf games on the regulation gameplay channel. Yeah, by the time this comes out, I think there will be a second one already.

Yeah, yeah, fingers crossed. But it's so far, just want to point out that Gavin's running away with it, looking pretty good. A lot of five points for first place, one point for fifth place in each of the round and sort of points in between, obviously. But Gavin, Andrew, Nick, Eric, I'm sorry, Nick, Jeff Eric is where it stands currently. Pretty close. Anybody's game, anybody's game there, because we are playing multiple different games. Uh-huh. Yes.

Yeah. And I think still, I mentioned it every time we talk about it, but my favorite, my absolute favorite part of doing these is how quiet Andrew gets what he's called. This is what I'm going to dispute. This, if you look at my waveform,

I was not, I guess, going through on the Discord because I was too loud. I was constantly yelling. I was upset about things. I was vocalizing. You were silent.

And he was like, wow, Andrew's quiet. And I was like, what are you talking about? Am I? The only, the only stuff I heard from you was what I made a birdie

sound. You said, shut up. No, yeah, absolutely. You got to attack that bird. One other thing, Andrew mentioned the last week. He referenced the trading cards we had set up to make for and designed to make for

face that never quite got off the ground because Rooster Teeth shit the bed. Tony from Rooster Teeth he actually posted on the Regulation subreddit a bunch of images from that set. I thought it was really cool. He showed

each different kind of card, some of the parallels, some of the original art, what the relics were going to be and stuff. So, I don't know, I just thought it was really cool if anybody wanted to see what those cards looked like. There's a post on the, on the regulation subreddit that shows off maybe 25 of them. Speaking to golf, I had a thought, and it's sort of related

to golf. Would you adjust, would you trade leg length for arm length? Leg length. If you could shift. No. No. I think I would, I mean, I got short little legs, but I would cash out half these things for more length than my arms.

You would go, so you would have an even longer back just by your height? I think my back, honestly, I think if I removed half of my leg length and put it into my arms, my upper half would look like it made more sense. Wait, so you've got a long back but without the arm compensation.

I think I have a very, standard length of arms. Interesting. Are you sure your legs aren't standard too and your long back makes them look small? No, my legs are, I got tiny, I got short legs all back. I feel like from the times

I hung out with you a person, I don't remember anything about your legs being small or your back being long. You don't remember hanging out with them. That's true. Not a pinball. We never heard of pinballs. No, it's deceptive. It's a deceptive thing.

So you're saying you would go tank size from left for dead. Oh, yeah, I guess they do. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I get little legs. Just a real long back, real long arms, short little legs. I feel like the length of my legs, if I had to pick between long legs and normal sized arms or short legs and super long arms, I would absolutely go to the super long arms. I think my arms are the same as my legs.

Yeah. But wouldn't you want to trade? Wouldn't you want to swap that? Wouldn't you want to put more into arms? Well, if I think I'm saying, if I think if I swapped, I think they'd be the same. I don't understand what you mean by that.

Are you saying like, you feel like your life wouldn't change it anyway? No. No, I'm saying, I'm pretty sure my arms are the same, like pretty similar length to my legs that I wouldn't even notice if they swapped. Not even, okay.

Not swapped. I'm saying you're shortening, you're shortening your leg length to extend your arm length. like it's a slider. So every inch you reduce from your leg length goes into your arm length. Or I guess vice versa.

But I don't know why you'd want tiny arms and long legs. Is that how you started the conversation? I swear you talked about swapping them. Oh. Well, that's what I meant. It doesn't matter where we started. It matters where we are.

And I'm telling you, if you could shift it, would you? Because I would absolutely. If I swap my arm, no, that'd be terrible. I'd just have, no, I'd hate that. I'd have regulation-sized legs. Is there a way I can swap where we are with where we started,

so that way this, we get here a little bit faster? Oh, I'm just, I thought, this is what I was thinking about, there's so many times where I need to grab something, and it's just a little out of reach. It's a little too far away. And I think if I traded the length of my legs. You'd think making yourself shorter would make you reach the thing that you need. But I don't reach for my feet.

You, uh, on your feet. You're, no, no, no, no, I'm, let's say I'm sitting, or I'm in bed. And it's like, oh, I'm thirsty. Hey, yeah, yeah, think about, think about this really unique thing that only makes sense this one time. You get it? No, there are times where, like, I'm sitting at the desk and it's like, oh, I left that over there. I need to go get it. And it's like, oh, wouldn't it be nice if I can just grab it?

But I can't. I've never, I've never been annoyed that I can't read something if I haven't stood up yet. Right. Right? Really? Like, I'm not at the end of my reach with my ass sat down on something. Well, if you don't want to move. Just get up.

Yeah, but then you gotta move. That's the whole thing. You got to lift your body. You got to walk somewhere. I don't know. I'm just saying that, like, it's sometimes it's a convenience thing. Sometimes you're really tired and you're in bed. Like, oh, I'm thirsty.

Dying of thirst. I wish my legs were shorter. My water. My water is on the desk on the other side of the room. Wish I could trade in these useless legs right now. I'm not doing anything with these legs. Maybe it's a unique position to someone who has short legs, because I think my legs are kind of useless. As far as reach it, like, I just, I'm all back. It doesn't really matter. I'd absolutely trade. Do you have wheels on your wheels on your swivel chair?

Yeah. So do you often do like a slide to extend your reach? I can slide. The problem is that it's, I don't know, it's to, I, at that point I'd rather get up than sliding. Wait. What? Sliding goes below just standing up to grab something. Because there's cables and stuff, like I could pull things out of the wall.

It's just, I, the sliding is more, because I'm in a small space. You have cables hanging down by your chair wheels? Oh, it's like HDMI cables and Why? Yeah. Why is it down there? I got a cable that runs from here

to a different room for the internet. And it's under your chair? Uh, not right now. I got a, I guess I could swivel. I don't know. It's just if there's, I don't like,

my feet sometimes get tangled in the cords because I got a bunch of cords under my desk. I'm ripping stuff out of the wall. Things are falling. It would be a disaster. Now, Jeff, I noticed you're kind of sitting back, taking this all in. Any thoughts just on the situation, what Andrew might be able to do or what you would do with your leg length? No, I think you guys have it all under control.

I'm surprised that there's zero interest in giving up some leg length for arm length by anybody. Why? Because you could reach things further. I'm stood up. I'm reaching. Okay, here, let me give you scenario. Okay. You're in the grocery store. With your typical leg length, you can see what's at the top of the counter. You'd see the top floor. If you gave up your leg length, you could still reach it with your arms, but you can no longer see it creates a little mystery in your life. You keep goddamn going to the net

zero thing. If I've taken an inch off my freaking legs... I can't... Right, but now... What he's saying is right. He's just moving your eyes down so you can't see it. Which is for somehow a benefit to you. He adds a little mystery to your life. It's mysterious.

Top shelf mystery. Yeah, it's like, oh, I need this, but I know it's not that one. Maybe it's on the top shelf. Let me go grab it and see it. Oh, it is. What is? I think that's fun. Well, there you go.

I think you just want to do blindfold shopping. No. Oh, that sounds terrifying. A blindfold shop? Yeah. And you just, how would that even work? Like, you just walk around the whole store, like you're in birdbox, try to buy stuff? Or is there like a, you're in the right aisle?

I mean, if you went to, what, you've got a store nearby, I assume that you're quite familiar with the layout. Yeah. Absolutely. Could you, could you buy your favorite meal without your eyes open the whole time? Yeah, well, here's the thing. I walk in. Okay. Immediately they got a case of rotissory chickens.

It's up there for me. So I'd grab it. I think I'd, I think I might struggle to find the checkout. I might be walking around in the store with a roast chicken for a little bit. Follow the beeps. Oh, the beeps! That's actually a good call.

I could follow the beeps. Yeah, I think you follow your nose to the chicken and then you follow your ears to the checkout. Oh, this is, I'm a fan of this. Yeah, let's do it. I'm just surprised. I guess I view my legs is worthless. For the most part. You should use them.

No, it's not that I don't use them. I just mean in terms of like what they bring me as far as efficiency goes or height. I mean, they bring you a tremendous amount in terms of getting from point A to point B efficiency. Absolutely. I just, I don't, the length of them, I think, uh, they're already so short that I don't feel like if they were shorter, it would make a difference in my life. You're painting the most bizarre picture of yourself. You have totally normal legs. They're so normal.

You don't look like that cartoon drawing that we had. Do you have like a gammy mirror? Like a funhouse mirror by accident? Oh, maybe. Could be that. I don't know. Maybe I'll measure my leg. I did this already.

Didn't I measure leg length? What if you took somebody as an experiment at birth and then you only let them see themselves through a fun house mirror their entire life? Oh my God. show style. So they never truly knew what they looked like. They thought they looked like so freakish and

distorted their entire life because wherever they went, the mirror switched out. That'd be a rough life. What would that do to someone? I guess they would see other people right and be very confused as to what happened. I think they would want to take length off their legs and give it to their arms to finally make

them the normal person they always wanted to be. You guys seem not sold on this. I bet you the comments are popping off right now. You're going to turn to the audience for this one. I think the audience is going to think they're going to want an extra feet of arms. So what size pants do you buy? I don't buy pants. What an insane question.

Yeah, what a dumb question. That is idiotic. Maybe the worst question you've ever. It's like me asking you how you got started. That would be so funny. You're going from like a 30-30 to like a 30-19. I've got a 32 going on, I think. 32 inch leg

Oh you guys have a concept of your leg length because of the pants Yeah it's a concept Crazy Gotta try to get that material down over the ankles Interesting You don't You don't know your leg length

I'm a 32 as well It never even occurred to me That this would be a thing Yeah they don't so I never crossed my mind That you would know this That this would be information shorts were like 32 six Why don't you measure your leg?

I don't, I don't you've measured yourself before, but, but let's just measure your leg. Just do it. I will. I'll measure my leg. Do you have a tape measure? Not right now. No, I'll have to find one. But I'll come back next time. I'll come back with stats.

Okay. I'll have it ready. I have a question about being scrumped because I think it was scrumped. Oh, yeah. Oh, shit. If this counts as a. scrumping or not. Jeff, I want you to be the main authority on this. Oh, Christ. Okay. I got a gold belly gift card for Christmas. I was very excited about it. I was looking at what I

could get. I was able to get a Chicago Deep Dish pizza for the first time. But I was also able to get because I still had money on the card. An apple pie. A delicious looking large apple pie. It got delivered. I spent my whole day anticipating. It looks amazing. Double crust. Put on the windowsill? Not on the windowsill. Left in front of my front door.

I get the email. 15 minutes late that they delivered it. They didn't knock. Didn't ring. I go down. Pie's gone. What? Did I get scrumped?

Pizza there? Pizza showed up later. I was able to get the pizza. But they scrumped my pie. Did they definitely deliver it? 100%. photo, I got a photo of it, it was there. Well, then it was stolen. Yeah, it's 100% stolen.

It was 100% stolen. I just don't know if scrumping counts in pie form. If it's like any. Okay, so it is scrumped. Yeah. I couldn't believe, I was so mad. I wanted to hang up my no scrumping sign and actually have like a legitimate reason for having it outside of the place. I've never heard it actually like applied it in like a victim way. Like, I've never heard of someone being scrum. I am a victim of scrumping.

Yeah. It was devastating. I got scrumped last week. Mental. Do you have any idea who it could have been that stole your high? I know who it was. I absolutely. I know who it was.

I do. Well, okay. Let me rephrase that. I'm 98% sure. I know who was. Without giving the person away, is it someone that lives in your building? or the vicinity?

I know the car, I think. Oh. There was a car. I got delivered. In the window that it got delivered, I heard a vehicle that sounded like, brb-v-v-br-br-br-br-br-br-br-br-bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb.

And it was hanging out, and it felt like they stopped. And I thought I heard them stop. And then it got quieter, but it stuck around for a while. And then I heard, it sounded like it pulled in kind of next, next to the building where I live.

And I thought, huh, there's certainly, that's sort of an odd sound. And then next thing I know it was gone. So this is between it being delivered and you getting the email? Yes. So you just heard the sound, not really realizing that potentially someone

was eyeballing the pie and having like a... I was expecting a delivery and I thought, oh, maybe was the truck or something I just thought it would be kind of if you stole something to do it in the loudest car possible feels odd

but the way it stuck around the way it came in and left I am like 90% sure it was that car have you seen that car since that's the thing I heard it I heard it like five days later

such a distinct sound but I haven't seen the car yet I just heard it I think we were in a recording but I heard the car. I think you have full permission. If you hear it again in a recording, you've got to go out and confirm.

I got to run out. I agree. Yeah, full permission. Okay, 100%. I have a better idea. What you need to do is you need to get a pie box. And inside that pie box, you need to put a web camera.

Oh. And you need to bait that pie box out there and make it look delicious, maybe even get like a candle that has a little bit of hot apple pie smell or something with that around there. So it's like really intriguing and then get them to steal it and then when they take it and they pop the top off,

there's a camera in front of them. You see their face clearly. They're caught red-handed and they have no idea who knows who's on the other side of that camera and it terrifies them and I bet you don't, they don't still shit from you again.

That's interesting. Air tag in the pie. That's what I'm not as well to say. Yeah, you should try to get them to eat the air tag and you know where they are forever. There should be a company that sells you things

that look like other things, but are just air tagged boxes to see where it gets stolen from. So like it looks like a gold belly box, it looks like a delicious thing, but in reality, it's just an air tag, essentially, and you are able to track it from the get-go and see where it ends up. It's a good idea, too.

How's that bad than just buying an air tag? Because then I have to bring it in. I have to do that myself. If I do it this way, I can maybe pick a variety of exciting boxes. You also need a box of a thing that looks appealing to steal. Just order a pie and put a freaking air tag in it.

Boy, keep getting stolen. But that's what you want. Yeah, but I need to retrieve it first. Otherwise, I'm just a man with an air tag. Well, then put it, order it with the deep dish pizza. You got that just fine. Yeah. How was the pizza?

I went on a roller coaster with that deep dish pizza. I've always wanted to try Chicago deep dish. I finally got one. And I made a mistake. I made, uh, several, I would say. I expected it to have more dough, and it's very doughy.

Let me be clear on that, but it's not like Detroit style. I was expecting it to be Detroit style, and it is not that doughy. It is almost like a pizza soup. Yeah. In a sense, where it's very liquidy,

you got the sauce on top. The mistake I made was that I ordered a cheese version, which is your standard deep dish, plenty of cheese. I'd say maybe the perfect amount of cheese. This was like quadrupled cheese. It was the most insane thing that I've ever eaten. And I kept almost choking myself because I have a routine, I guess, of how many chews I need for a pizza and then I swallow. So you're like, you're having this four cheese pizza and just, it's none of, none of it's adding up. It's like you're,

you're over chewing on all of them. I'm under chew. It's like I'm getting, I'm getting a pound of cheese. in every bite that I'm getting and I'm going chew, chew, swallow, oh, it's not broken down enough. It's just chunk of cheese. I like the idea of not monitoring how many chews you actually need and just

going by memory, being like, well, there's a pizza so I only need to chew it twice. Yeah, it was just my body took over. It was instinct. It was a pizza chew autopilot. I was on autopilot. I was on the chew autopilot. And honestly, it became overwhelming emotionally.

Because I didn't have... I didn't have enough space on my desk. It filled my entire desk essentially. What? On your... It was on a plate on my desk. I don't own a table, Eric. You said that like I'm insane.

No, I'm just saying like it's well established. I don't have a table. So I ate this at my desk. And I nearly choked like three times. And I said this is too much. He's just sat there, feet tangled up in cables, gagging and choking. Oh, it was a disaster. I'm controllers.

I'm trying to avoid it. It's the mouse is on the other corner of the desk. It was a disaster. Got through the first piece. It's leaking everywhere. And it was so much, I just had to put it in the fridge. I will, if I'm in a pizza mood, I will down a large pizza. No problem.

I got that. I had one slice of this thing. And I was like, this is, this is a little overwhelming. So I put it in the fridge. And then I would, I survived three days off that pizza. Go in. It was also uncut.

I didn't know how to cut it. So I just had like a butter knife and scissors. And I cut it at my desk. For Christ. What the fuck are you talking about it? So it was difficult. But can I just make, could I make quite an obvious suggestion?

Yeah. Eat it in the kitchen No I would be I would live in the kitchen I wouldn't be able to record His computer's not in the kitchen Dude

Yeah man What were you recording While you were eating this pizza No I'm saying that like If I were to be like I'm gonna eat oh you're saying Incrementally eat it in the kitchen What

When I went into this I thought I was just gonna eat this pizza One time Like I'm going into I'm finish it in one sitting You thought you were just gonna polish off An entire Chicago deep dish pizza Going in, that was my thought

because I'm a big pizza guy and I was excited about it. And it was three days of pizza. Do you think if you were challenged to do so though? Like if you applied some burger confidence to this pizza, could you have done it in a day? I don't think so. I think it was too much the cheese. Eric's got a point

in the chat. How come you don't have a f***ed pizza slicer? We sold those. Oh, I have one somewhere, but it's so juicy and dense and I didn't really have a cutting tray. So you scissors. I essentially Yeah, but what does essentially mean? Well, I used a butter knife, which is essentially like a scissor.

No, that's not scissors, scissors, sharper. You also described it as a butter knife and scissors. And scissors. So did you not have scissors? When did I say scissors? Oh my God! You said a butter knife and scissors. Oh.

I meant fork. What? There are no scissors involved. We cannot. I can't. I'm going to be sick. Butter knife and fork. I'm going to be sick.

You're insane. I had no idea. I said scissors. You're making me insane. This is making me worse. I thought you were doing a thing of like a butter knife as effective as a scissor. Like if you hold them opposite each other and squeeze them at scissors? Yeah, just like I thought you're making commentary on that like I cut it inefficiently.

I thought you're making fun of my cutting method. Not you're being literal about. I was, but I was using the thing that you told us you used to make fun of you. And then you said, never mind. No, I meant the thing you told us you used. I used a fork in a butt.

So you've put the, you've put this massive wet pizza on your desk. You're one and only surface. No, my, on a plate, let's be clear. It's not just on my desk. It's on a giant plate. Nothing's filled. So you already went to the kitchen to get a plate. I was, you know what?

This is where also the confusion is coming in. I didn't do any of this. It was brought to me. It was brought to you on a plate. Yes. With a butter knife. the butter knife? Uh, I think I already had that at my desk. What about the fork?

Yeah, where's the fork from? I had the fork and the knife at my desk already. I said, don't worry about cutting it. I can do it up here. And there were no scissors within sight. Uh, no, I had scissors, but they were unrelated. Oh. Were the plate, not the plate, goddam,

were the fork and the butter knife used? Maybe. But it was like the previous dinner and they were clean It wasn't like there was gunk hanging off of them I just feel like I would have gotten all tangled up on my desk It'd be really annoying I just think I just gotta eat this in the kitchen I for how big it was and just I don't know if I could have moved it once it was on the desk

What so wait what fridge did you put it in I put it in the bar fridge next to the desk Oh and it's it's in Okay I put it in the little fridge Still in your room in the fridge It is at that point yeah I ate it over three days

So it's no longer there Now are you eating it cold or are you heating it up though So that's the thing I think it needs to be cold pizza Because it's less liquidy I disagree it solidifies it becomes edible In a way that Could not be eaten

I don't think I've ever eaten a cold Deep dish pizza before You two are judging it based on a thing you've never done. I'm telling you it's the way. I'm not judging shit. I just, Andrew with you. It's good. I don't think it's the way, but I've had it. It's good. Let's get it. Yeah, I give a shot. Let's do it. Let's get it. Let's try it.

Now here's the, I liked it. Maybe the cheese will help you lactate, Nick. Oh, this is the story I got to warn you about. This is where things go wrong. I enjoyed it. I think it's a seasonal pie. One a year would be good during the winter is it does have soupy feels. There was so much cheese and I ate it across three days. Block me up real good. No.

Real blocked up, real constipated, absolutely shredded my butthole on the way out. No. Why do you do this to yourself? Because I realized after I ordered it. My partner doesn't eat

pizza. At least this type of pizza. So I had to eat it entirely myself. And I ended up eating it over three days and it was essentially all I ate. So I was eating just an absurd amount of cheese every day. And it has consequences. It's completely self-imposed. You didn't have to do any of this.

I could have refrozen it? I didn't know you could refreeze. I don't know about that. I don't know about that. Okay, I'm not trusting Nick on the refreeze. You would freeze three quarters of a refreeze. pizza? Yeah.

Maybe just take a little Miralax at the end of the day after each meal. But yeah, that's true too. It destroyed me and I had three. It came in a three pack. I was nervous. Wait, no, whoa.

So you ate three pizzas across the years? No, no, no, no. I ate one pizza across three days. And then I was scared to start the second one for several days. Then I got into it and it was a pepperoni one. It wasn't cheese.

And that worked way better. good amount of cheese, a lot more digestible. So you're two down? Two down, one's still in the freezer. Who knows when I'll pull that one out? What's the flavor on that one? Pepperoni. I went two pepperoni, one cheese.

Okay. Would you say you like the pepperoni better than the four cheese? I absolutely would say I enjoyed it more just because there was too much cheese with the all cheese. Yeah. It was an insane amount of cheese. Did the pie come in a three pack? Yes. Someone stole three pies?

No. Sorry. when you said Oh right I thought you meant pizza pie Even apple pie Yeah sorry I was back on apples

I was so deep in the deep dish That I couldn't see outside of it So when you said pie I immediately went pizza pie You were too deep in the dish I was too deep in the dish So that is my warning To anyone who is going to

Take the deep dish journey Avoid the cheese one Just pure cheese Too much cheese Get something else in there Reduce the cheese count Your body will thank you.

Oh, it was a bad scene. So you got a little life pro tip from Andrew. A little life hack. Get a pepperoni one. I have a I have a video idea to pitch. Okay. Please.

Eric wants us to stop, but I would love to hear a video. No, no, go for it. I didn't know there was anything else. It just seemed like an outpoint. Yeah. Well, half this episode was a sausage talk. The other half was a game, sir.

Yeah, it was about like, it was about eight minutes of you at the beginning. Yeah, but we can get to your thing, too. Let's hear about your thing His thing is goodbye Yeah, my thing is end the podcast I said, I said yeah, I said yeah, go for it What's your video idea?

Okay, what about this, right? IKEA pit stop Yes Okay, I don't understand Do you think if we studied and practiced We could put together a piece of IKEA furniture As a foursome like a Formula One pit stop.

Oh. Could we build something in like 35 seconds? An IKEA thing? Yeah. Like how quickly could we do it? Yeah, in like a, we're all kneeling, we've got our tools ready, we slide it in and we just build.

I'd like to try. From scratch? We'd have to get a few of them. Like if we get like four of the same thing so we can like really hone in and perfect it by the fourth one, you know? Well, I figure we would just build it once and then unbuild it

and then build it again until we could do the pit stop. We have an IKEA shelf in the break room that's still in the box. We can use. Perfect. Yeah, like one of those black shelves we have. So we can just do that. I like that a lot. And you can track times.

You can see. Yeah. Yeah. It's great. We have to start with a desk. Like something that's only got, it's like putting four legs on something. But a bookcase. Yeah.

That seems advanced. But we could try. It's a small one. It shouldn't be too odd. That's a great idea, Kevin. You know those things that people ride around downtown Austin, typically on Bachelorette parties where it's like a contraption

where there's a bunch of beer and then ladies sit in seats facing each other and they peddle and it goes two miles an hour through the town and they hoop and holler and yell and get hammered. Yeah. Wouldn't it be fun to do a podcast from one of those? Oh, that's a, that's a fun idea. Like a little supplemental?

Be like a lot of work to do it, but I bet like, you know, because you have to pedal. Like a little pod and pedal. And you guys can drink, and I'll slam diet coke and we'll just, we'll hoop and holler. We can even wear sashes like at somebody's Bachelorette party. It'd be a lot of fun. That is fun.

Sounds like a great idea. I think it's a good supplemental idea. Yeah. All right. Well, I think that'll probably do it unless anybody else wants to pitch any other ideas. No, I'm idealist. I have other notes.

Well, how about hit me with one more note. What do you got? Why? When can a cover act tour? How long does an artist need to be existing before it's appropriate for a cover act to start covering that artist? Oh.

Like tiny kiss? Like tiny kiss. Now, when you say tour, do you mean like go to a bunch of places all over in like... Yes. Okay, not just like, hey, I'm playing this one bar this one time we're a cover band. Okay.

No, no, no, no. We're touring. We're coming to your town. That is interesting. Because I saw, I was looking at, we have a theater where I live, and I was like, what, what is the next, like, seven months of shows that they have booked? It's fun to look at, because it's a lot of cover bands, typically, that look ridiculous. And one of the ones was a Morgan Wallen cover artist. Wow. And it's a British guy.

Oh, what? They're wearing a Cowboys jersey. And he was promoting it as part of their event thing. And I'd never seen a cover artist for an artist. that feels like they're still like in the mix of things? Yeah, it felt strange to me that there'd already be a cover artist

for an artist that people could just see. Yeah, like, what if it started the same week? He was, he found Morgan Wallet on SoundCloud and he's been covering from the yet go. If he was smart, he would take Morgan Wallen's new tour and he would book himself in every city on that tour one week before,

Morgan Wall. Absolutely. So smart. So smart. He could team up with his friend Cabrina Sarpenter. Maybe or Rappled Joan. Let me find him really quickly so you could see.

It is so strange to see a British person doing the dirtbag American thing and also kind of looking like him. But not really. Like it, I would say, based on what I saw,

I don't, you know, I might have to, this is not an easy thing to find. I mean, that's probably okay because we probably don't have to show, you know what I mean? Like, I think it's probably all right that you just sort of describe them and that's like enough, you know what I mean?

I will say when I think of British dirtbag American, I tend to think of this. Is that Woody's Roundup? Pretty sweet picture of Gabbard. Rounded up the snack table. Rounding up the episode. We probably should do that then. Oh, what the hell?

I've got one more IDL pitch it. You guys know how in every major metropolitan area, they have like a local entertainment rag. In Austin, we have the Austin Chronicle. Yeah. And they used to be very popular, especially in the 90s and the early 2000s. When you'd roll into town,

you'd pick one up and you'd sit down at a coffee shop somewhere or a diner, and then you would just circle everything you wanted to do in town that weekend. It would show you. every band that was playing, if somebody was giving away tickets to a movie, potentially, which is how Gus and I saw movies free, or what kind of like citywide garage sale or whatever there was. I was at a coffee shop this morning, getting ready for today. And I saw the Austin Chronicle, and I thought, I bet I haven't opened that thing up in a decade. But I picked it up, which, by the way, it's much smaller than it used to be. And I still haven't opened it up,

but I thought, I wonder what kind of businesses advertise in that magazine in 2026, right? Because you wouldn't think that would be the last thing I would think to do is if I'm a new coffee shop or a new bar or music venue or whatever because it seems so antiquated. What if you opened up that an Austin Chronicle and then we just had to plan a day where we did activities and stuff and ate at restaurants, but we could only go to the places that are in the magazine. It would be like going through Austin in 1998 again. Yeah, I think that's a fun idea. Winter of 98. Winter 98. I think we should try that.

We should definitely try that. I posted an image of British Wallen. He's a Cowboys fan. It's a British guy looking like a dirtbag American. He looks like he... Is it? I don't know that it is. He looks like he works in a Buckley's. Are you kidding me?

Is it, is it 88? It's 98, Andrew? 98? Is that? Yeah, there's a nine on his shoulder. That's more of Texans color. Jersey of 98. This is the Wallin of 98. It's an NFL jersey.

Not Cowboys. There's no way that that's not a Cowboys jersey. I'd be Texan. Oh, that would make sense. Well, there you have it. Thanks for listening to this episode. It's been the Regulation Podcast. Go to Regulatrion.com.

Bye. Nobody wears 98 on the 10sons. Cute. Fucking. Fuck it. I couldn't get a Morgan Wall and pick off the screen.
