Hello and welcome to another episode of the Regulation Podcast.
My name is Jeff Ramsey with me as always, Andrew Panton, Gavin Free, Nick Schwartz, Eric Bador.
This is episode 113, I believe, and I am not in jail.
Where do we want to, where do we leave off?
Where do we want to start?
Can you just tell people if you got the house or not?
Can you just tell people if you got the house or not so we can just leave that behind?
Can you just let people know, please?
This is the first podcast I have ever recorded from the new and final home of Jeff
Ramsey. I will die in this house.
The final hope.
I'm never, ever, ever
moving again.
For any reason. Okay, well, how about
the Knicks? How did that
was that good? Nick?
That was an interesting experience. Didn't go
quite my way, but I made the most of it.
Devastating.
How is the game? How is it there being
being there live? Was it, I mean, up until
you lost, was it fun? Was it the, the, the,
How was the atmosphere?
Did you have good food?
Oh, the food was great.
Food and drink was excellent.
Had a micholada.
Tried a bunch of different nachos and some sweets and stuff that they had.
I did like a stupid vlog thing for it.
That was very embarrassing to do.
But really the atmosphere was way different than a normal Spurs game.
It was, I would say, heavily in the Knicks favor of fandom there.
And I was surrounded by Nix fans.
There was one Spurs fan next to me and the rest of the game.
the section was like mixed with a couple of spurs fans peppered throughout. So it was very
raucous and not in the fun way for me. You know, that came across in every game in San Antonio
on TV, which is crazy because they always say one of the things that's supposedly a benefit
of the Celtics is that they only play home games because there's so many Celtics fans everywhere.
But man, the Knicks, that was wild. I don't know if the entire city of New York came down
to San Antonio or if just all the Knicks fans hiding in San Antonio came.
out of their crypts, but it was fucking, it was pretty intense, at least from television.
The people I sat next to had flown in directly. They were like, yeah, it's
unaffordable to go to a game in Madison's Park Garden. So they, they were like, it's cheaper
to fly, stay in a hotel, and get tickets to this game in San Antonio. It's like getting dental work
in Mexico. Right, exactly. That's awesome. Well, I'll check for the part where they lost.
Sorry about that. Right. Yeah, that part sucked. There's always next year.
I don't think you have anything to worry about either
you guys have Wimby and Steph Castle
and fucking Dylan Harper
for the next like 10 years
you're gonna yeah
it's gonna be fun
and we got Paul George so fuck you
yeah good pickup
thank you
cool
cool well at least you're in the house that you'll die in
I keep thinking about that I keep thinking about you saying that
and that's fucking that's crazy that's crazy
I don't think it's crazy at all I think it's comforting
I'm fucking ready for it
The amount of work I've put into this, I've written down, here's a list.
Things I've done since last podcast recording related to House.
And I just have a list that never stops.
Starting with, I think the last time we recorded was the day I was supposed to close, right?
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Do you guys want to hear a story about that?
Yeah.
I wasn't going to tell it.
And then Emily and I were talking yesterday and I was like, I don't know, let's talk about in the podcast.
She goes, you should absolutely tell the story of the closing.
And I was like, I guess I should.
Why wouldn't I?
So, I don't know if it came across in the previous podcasts where we talked about it, but it was a difficult process to buy this house.
And I was met with continually with what felt like a lot of blatant disrespect, like every step of the way, almost from everybody involved.
And that was frustrating, to say the least.
but the final disrespect came at closing, which was six hours late because of issues with the lender and the title company.
But if you've never bought a house before, let me explain this how it works.
The buyer and the seller both have to close.
That's when you go to a title company who's like a independent broker, like a third-party broker,
that handles this transaction between banks, right?
Issues titles and transfers to money back and forth and stuff.
and the seller tends to go on one day
and the buyer goes on a different day.
They really don't want you guys to ever meet
at any point in the process,
which I super appreciate.
And I think is a great idea
and probably it's probably for the same reason
that ladders have warnings on them, you know?
They probably at some point they were like,
we got to do this differently.
These people are killing each other.
And so my seller, the seller had already closed,
of course, like the day before.
I eventually get to go to my closing.
And the way it happens is
the day of the closing,
you get information
wire information and that says like, okay, have your bank send your entire life savings to this
wire? And then we will have your money as the title company. And then we will, after we've,
you know, claimed your money, you've signed the paperwork, they've signed the paperwork.
Then we'll give your money to the seller. And then we'll give like, you had to give the seller
X amount of money in earnest. They'll give that back. There's a couple of little, like money goes back
and forth. And the title company handles that. That's the whole process while you're closing and
you're signing your life away to 10 billion documents.
So we show up at our closing, and Emily and I brought our lawyer.
And that's not, that sounds like it was for like litigious.
It was for mundane reasons that I won't get into, but we brought our lawyer.
Thank God.
And we go to the closing, we sign all the paperwork, we go through the whole process.
And what happens after that is when the closing is over and you sign the paperwork,
everybody shakes hands.
You get free Diet Coke or sugar coax if you want.
on them. And then probably some hard candy. There's always a ton of hard candy available. Oh yeah.
And then they give you the keys to your new house and then you go live life happily ever after
in your new fucking home, right? Well, we go through the process and as we're about 75% of the
way through, the title guy looks up and he goes, oh, by the way, the seller's agent doesn't
want you to have the keys until they receive the money from us. And I
I go, what do you mean?
And he goes, well, we just can't give you the keys when we're done closing.
And I go, by the way, you have all of my money.
Like my entire life savings, you have it.
I don't have the money anymore.
I no longer have access to it.
You just have to give it to them.
You, that's, why don't I?
What do you mean I don't get my keys?
And they're like, well, you know, it's just, it's just, but it's just worked out this way.
And I go, no, no, that doesn't make any sense.
And I go, why, why want to have my keys?
And they go, well, we can give them to you in about two hours.
It takes about two hours for us to get the money to them.
And I go, okay, well, it's four o'clock.
What time do you guys close?
And they go, well, that's the thing.
We close at five.
So, and I go, so who's staying late?
So go, go fuck yourself.
So give me my fucking keys.
So this is unacceptable.
So, so is not an answer.
Right?
And I go, that's not happening.
I'm moving into my new house I bought today.
Today!
You know?
And they're like, well, I guess I could come back.
Like, we think we'll have it done about 6, 6.30.
Maybe I could come back at the office and meet you.
And I go, yes, that's what we're doing.
First off, no, this is not acceptable.
I want my fucking keys right now.
But if this is all, but if I legally can't get them because of this fucking thing that you're
going to dangle in front of me, just because the.
seller's agent wants to be, I guess the world's largest dickhead.
I can only assume what the motivations are there because I don't see any other way.
Like, what a final fuck you on the way out?
It's not like I'm buying this house from a foreclosure and a government auction.
I'm not doing anything weird or I'm giving all the money I have from, and I have a lender
that is a giant mega corporation bank that is supposedly incredibly trustworthy.
All I'm doing is spending five weeks porting over and giving every financial document I've ever had to every single stranger who asks, who I just assume is using it for, you know, legitimate reasons.
After I subject myself to this living fucking hell for five weeks, you think I'm trying to like pull something over you at the very end where I don't even have my money anymore, but I'm going to get the keys and then somehow the title company and I are going to fuck you over.
the title company that you hired, by the way, that is your relationship, not mine?
Like, it boggles the fucking mind, first of all.
So I go, and then he's like, well, I think I clearly doesn't want to come back to work at 6 p.m.
And my real estate agent goes, well, can I just have the keys?
I'm the buyer's agent.
I'm an agent.
Just give them to me.
They text the seller's agent, and he goes, absolutely not.
What?
And we go, what?
And I go, and she goes,
Oh, and my lawyer goes, well, hey, I'm a lawyer.
Can I have the keys?
I won't give them to them to them.
You can fucking do your best to sue me.
I'm a lawyer.
But, you know, like, I should be above reproach.
Can I just take the keys?
And then I can get them to them.
And they go, well, let me check with a seller's agent.
And the seller's agent literally responded with what kind of lawyer is he, does he seem trustworthy?
What's going on?
What is going on?
Wow.
What is going on?
I agree with Gavin.
What the fuck is going on?
And so,
my lawyer has to go,
I'm a trustworthy kind of lawyer,
and the seller's agent goes,
I guess,
I guess.
And then they give him the keys.
Then the lawyer looks at me and he goes,
I didn't say this earlier,
but I live in the same neighborhood you just bought in.
So just,
I'll text you,
come over.
I live seven blocks from you.
where you're about to live. Congratulations, by the way.
Come over to my house. Here's the address.
I'll give you the keys. You'll be good to go.
So then I close
and I have to go back to a shitty rental house
that's all packed up with no internet
and no television and no anything
on like two chairs that haven't been
shoved away yet
and just sit for two hours
until I got a text from my
lawyer who said, hey, come by my house
and pick up your keys. So then I go by my house.
house and get the keys. We go to the new house and the final, final, fuck you. Uh, we did the final
walkthrough the day before, which is typical. You do the final walkthrough. You make sure nothing
weird has happened to the house. Make sure they've cleaned it because that's a big part of it.
And, uh, you know, that's your last chance to be like, whoa, whoa, whoa, they took the fridge.
They said they were leaving the fridge, you know, anything that's fucked up or weird. Why is the window
broken all of a sudden? Uh, the house was filthy. The fridge had like food stains in it. There was
grime, there was sticky countertops. It didn't look like wrecked, but it looked like people moved out
hastily and didn't lift a finger to clean it, which you don't expect them to, but they were required to
get it cleaned. So my real estate agent was like, this is unacceptable. And I was like, I don't
even care. I'll just fucking pay to get it clean myself. And she's like, no, let me talk to them.
It's a part of the contract. They need to get it cleaned. And so Emily goes, trying to be helpful.
So you go, you know what? We have a relationship with some cleaners. If they just want to
Venmo us like 200 bucks, we'll just have our people do it. And then they don't have to
about it because they left the country. The sellers left the country. They were moving somewhere
else in the world and I assume they don't want to be dealing with this shit, right? Sellers agent said
absolutely not, they're not sending you one dime. They'll get it cleaned. So when we get to the
house, after I finally have the fucking keys to my house, I get there. Their cleaners are there for
the next three hours. So I can't even start to move in really. So it was like 9 p.m. before I was able to
get into my new house that I bought at 4 p.m.
All because, once again, I can only assume one individual wanted to be the world's largest dickhead.
At what point do you...
Once you'd closed, right?
You could have just kicked the door in, surely.
I could have. It's my fucking door!
Yeah, I'd have just had a locksmith.
Oh, the locksmith was their first thing the next morning.
Don't you fucking worry about that, dude.
Don't you fucking worry.
that he the locksmith kicked off the next two weeks of constantly having dudes in my house.
I haven't had a moment's rest since we moved in either as Emily.
But it's awesome and we're in.
But it's just like I just spent the last two days.
I'll send you guys a video later.
I just spent the last two days with 12 dudes under my house listening to Tahano music at full volume
while they jackhammered the world under me.
Like we got the foundation fixed.
We've got new insulation.
We've gotten plumbing done.
I'm having this fucking
I'm having this
insane adventure with an electrician
dude where because we got to get some electrical work
done we got to get some plugs in
we got to get some GFCI stuff added
there's a little bit to do it's a hundred year old house right
stuff to do and that's fine
I know it going into it it's different by the way
it's different to get a house
to get your foundation fixed on the way in
than it is on the way out it's a lot
it's a lot better on the way in
just for the record I'm not mad about having to fix
my foundation I was excited about it
although it was incredibly
because the house is lighter
Well, because the house is fixed and I know I'm going to be enjoying the fixed house.
Not like, oh, fuck, I got to get this fixed so that I can sell it and get away from it.
You know?
This electrician made an appointment.
Canceled.
Second appointment?
Canceled.
Third appointment.
Cancelled.
Fourth appointment showed up.
Gave us a quote two days later.
Made the appointment to come fix the stuff.
Canceled.
I'm about to have my sixth appointment with one electrician tomorrow.
You should get a different electrician.
What the fuck?
At this point, I'm in too far.
I'm in too far.
And also, it's just Austin, man.
It's tough.
Every house is under construction,
and it's just difficult to find people.
But I have had so much shit done and built and fixed.
Yesterday, we have, Emily has a,
has a custom-made bed frame
that her friend is a woodworker made,
this really cool dude named Ace,
which is a great name for a woodworker.
And it's a fixed to the wall
in the most complicated and confusing
way possible and the thing weighs 7,000 pounds.
And we needed to put it in the end of the wall upstairs.
So Burn Dog came over and we were like,
we can knock this out.
Four hours into it.
He had to call Ace.
We had two trips to Home Depot.
What?
And four hours with Emily and Vanessa watching and laughing.
Ace came over and had it fixed and left
shorter than one of our trips to Home Depot.
It was the craziest thing I've ever seen in my entire life.
Never felt more embarrassed and emasculated in my entire life,
but also just blown away.
What did you not have the ace had?
Apparently I had, I wasted way too much money on stuff we didn't need.
He just found a stud that we couldn't find.
And I don't know how else to describe it, but it took him one second.
And then he got it on the wall in seven seconds.
And then he was out the door in nine seconds.
It was, it was insane.
And it's just been like that all day, every day,
uh, since I was able to get the keys and finally move into the stupid.
fucking house that I love, that I
fucking love. But man, it sucks.
I'm sorry, just one last point. There's nothing worse
than making the purchase of a lifetime.
This is the most expensive thing I'll ever buy
in my entire life. It's not a mansion. It's not a
castle. It's not an ostentatious home.
It's a cute
three-bedroom house. It's
a hundred-year-old, cute little craftsman
home. It's nothing crazy. It's nothing wild, but
it is the biggest purchase I'll ever make in my
entire life. And I really wanted that
process to be wonderful and beautiful
and to be able to leave with a key in hand
and go walk into my new home and experience it.
But instead, I just got rammed up the ass
every way they could find
fucking putting dicks in me sideways, dude.
They sideways fucked my ass
for five straight fucking weeks.
Dreamhouse.
Through the cheeks.
It was amazing that the,
because Discord like cuts out background noise
like crazy.
Like sometimes we don't even hear each other
like sneeze or gasp or whatever.
The meeting yesterday, anytime Jeff said anything, it was like, bam, bam, bam, bam, in the background.
It was all coming through. It was so funny.
All under my feet.
Some dude, 10 feet below me in the ground. Luckily, we have Pyrrion Beam, so it's a lot easier.
But, God, damn.
And then you showed me a picture of your house with a bunch of holes next to it because they're jacking up the house.
And it looked identical to the picture you sent me last time of a bunch of holes.
Yeah.
You just really love jacking up houses.
It's pretty terrifying the end process when you're like, I bought this and then seven days later,
I have clearly ruined it.
Oh, man.
You fixed it.
I did.
I did.
You got to have faith that it's going to work out well.
Luckily, I have a, unfortunately, I've needed one, but luckily I have a fantastic foundation
repair company at my disposal.
You should have vested that company.
You get business for it.
I can't believe your lawyer.
didn't just take the keys off them, but that immediately
give them to you right in front of them.
Little disappointed in my lawyer.
I would have not...
Even said goodbye to us in the parking lot.
It would have been a great time to slap me the keys,
you know?
Either in front of them or not, but I guess my lawyer
was like, hey, I'm still a trustworthy
lawyer, you know? I'm sure
it's like, that's his currency is trust.
He's on your side, though. But he is on
my side. And was, by the way, the
lawyer, the lawyer
was the only... The lawyer
and the agent.
The buyer's agent and the lawyer were brilliant the entire way through.
Just couldn't have been more helpful.
And I love them to death.
Like,
they endeared themselves to me for life.
The other,
every single other person I dealt with,
man,
I don't know what,
dude,
I was mad.
I was mad from the moment Emily told me,
I think I mentioned in the last podcast,
I needed you to get mad now.
I was mad for 10 days.
It took me,
we were in the house for a week before I stopped being mad.
Yeah.
God's that.
I can't wait for it to create more frustration in your life.
Thank you.
That's going to be good.
That's going to be great.

Please enjoy our products responsibly.
I have a tiny clip update if you want to see it.
Please.
I'm going to pop it in the old Discord.
Mr. Bean?
It's very light.
It's cleaning his feet.
Oh, I didn't even notice that it was the wet corridor.
It just looked like he was walking on ground.
Is that the pre-pool?
That's the pre-pool that I was talking about.
That's the pre-pool.
So that's water around his ankles?
Yeah, the little trough he's come in there.
He's had to walk through.
He couldn't get around this pool unless you sort of sand-fished the tile.
I think I read a little bit about this.
These were very common, especially in the UK and Europe.
I think that they've largely done away with them because they discovered that the pools just become bacteria factories.
Cool.
That would make sense.
Yeah.
That's my thought.
Yeah, I was doing a little really too.
they like highly chlorinated those little troughs, but it didn't really do anything.
Vindication for Gavin.
Yeah.
Yeah, I just realized I hadn't seen one in a couple of decades and yeah, they've got rid of them.
That's not what I pictured.
What did you picture?
What is describing a wet corridor? What would you picture?
A wet corridor?
For some reason, like a more open corridor, like a wider pool.
Yeah, not like a hallway?
No, yeah, definitely.
Yeah, definitely.
What I find satisfying about this clip is I thought maybe there was a scenario in which I actually knew what you're talking about, but I couldn't visualize it.
I've never seen that.
I've never experienced that.
That's not a thing.
Unlike coffee news, which I've seen a lot.
Audience not with you on coffee news.
Was it 7525.
Never heard of it last time I saw the poll.
So there was a poll on our subreddit, and I got very excited because I was there early for this poll.
And it had, I think, 15 votes at the time.
I was like, I'll pop in here.
Let's see what the split is.
I voted yes.
And I did not anticipate me to be the only yes to the pool.
At that time, it was every, I went, oh no.
Everybody doesn't know what this is.
But I think that's a good thing.
Because that means that the coffee news audience, generally speaking, not the regulation
audience. We get that ad in there, whole new group of people.
Yeah, no overlap. That's great.
No. That's an excellent point, Andrew. And that's the kind of, that's the kind of brilliant
forward thinking we need a regulation. Eric, you have an update? So I have a coffee news update.
I have reached out to coffee news. They emailed me back, I think a week and a half later.
And they said, oh, I'm not the right coffee news person. Here's the coffee news person you want.
So they gave me that email address. So I've emailed that coffee news person.
because apparently because it's such a regional thing,
they just sent me to someone else and now
I have to wait until they get back to me.
But the request is out.
I sent them the same email where I said,
I said you,
hello, we are a local podcast in Austin
and we are looking to advertise within coffee news
to increase our reach and visibility.
Thank you.
You appreciate our business.
That was the email.
That is what I've sent again.
So now we wait.
Wait, you did put the appreciate business.
Yeah, you guys told me to put that.
You gave him in the outline.
Didn't we say probably remove the end?
We did.
No, you got to keep it in there.
Okay.
Once a clear statement.
And I mean, it worked once.
It did.
I don't see why it did.
So now we wait.
Yep.
Got to get in coffee news.
How long ago did you send that email?
Just to have...
That was...
Let's see.
They got back to me...
I just closed the window, sorry.
They got back to me on Thursday of last week, and I sent the email on Friday.
Okay, so we're about a week.
So we shouldn't hear back until middle...
Next week.
I would think so.
I would think you're probably right.
Hopefully, next update we'll have...
Hopefully, coffee news update.
Yeah, yeah.
But, Andrew, how did the poll kind of go where did it sort of end up?
with are you up to date on coffee news?
I didn't see it again
past my vote so we
a person could only speculate
how that poll went.
Oh, is it gone? Well, I don't know. I just, I
never went back to it. I made my
vote. I saw the
percentages and went, oh, this is
the thing that you can go and look at again
we can only speculate.
I don't have it in front of me.
I don't know where to. Hang on.
I'm doing it. Anybody can look it up.
I don't know why this is my fucking poll.
Anybody can look it up.
Because you brought it up.
Because you brought it up.
You know exactly why we're going to it.
You know exactly.
I didn't bring up the poll.
You're a nut.
I didn't lead the poll.
I didn't lead the poll talk.
Somebody else brought a poll before I brought up the pool.
Currently, 861 votes.
You guys want to guess the split?
80-20.
Mm-hmm.
74.
26.
Okay.
No is currently leading with 763 votes.
It's a lot of votes.
Yes.
is just behind at 98.
Okay, but what I would say is that if we were to run that pole again,
I think it would be a lot more in the other direction.
Because you've told people about coffee news now.
They've heard this podcast.
Why would we run the poll?
Why would we run the poll?
I'm just saying that if we ran that poll again,
why would we run it?
It would be like 800 yeses.
But why would we run it again?
I don't know.
I'm just saying if we did,
it would be as big of a swing,
but in the way that I thought it would go the first time.
Just skew it.
I'm just, you know, if we did second poll.
Gavin, does that make him,
Gavin, does that make him right if that happens,
or what does it make him?
Well, if you keep running the same pole until you're right?
Yeah.
I'm not even saying that I need to be right about it.
I'm just, it was just a fun fact I felt like was worth for.
saying you need to be right about it, but you are heavily implying that you desperately need to be right about it.
No, I'm okay with, I was clearly in the wrong, but I just think it's an interesting point that if we were going to run a poll again, run that pole back.
It would be the opposite way, I'd assume.
What if we put in the poll, hey, if you vote in the first poll, don't vote in this poll.
Maybe it was just a bad poll day.
What is the poll posted?
The poll is still open, by the way.
Yeah, but Reddit, it drops down pages and whatnot.
Like, you kind of got to be there to be there.
There's a day ago.
I just, you know, it's longer than a day ago, wasn't it?
It says it says one day ago and it, uh, people are still voting.
There's a comment from Rage 101 that says, I feel like Andrew may have been slightly off with this 70% estimate.
I, Andrew, I think you're struggling with your days because I don't think you ever sleep across the joining of two days.
I think you only ever, you fall asleep and wake up the same day every time you sleep.
I've been, I've been sleeping a lot the last few days because I haven't emotionally or physically
recovered from eating a subway footlong hot dog.
It has been.
Genuinely, I've said it is the like, without getting technically food poisoning from it,
it is the most of food has poisoned me in my life.
I'm still.
working through all of it.
It fucked me up real good.
That's food poisoning.
No, no, like, I just...
I think, so what...
One of the issues is, is I was curious
because it's so big and dense,
the footlong hot dog.
It's a giant tubular thing of me.
I was like, how does...
How can I equate how, like,
How many normal hot dogs to whatever this is, is it?
And the closest I could do to find the math is I did like a protein thing.
It is the protein and grams equivalent to like eight and a quarter normal hot dogs.
So it's like eight and a quarter dogs and one dog.
He ate an entire pack of hot dogs and one dog.
But it's still eight long, is it?
Yeah.
Well, it feels like it.
A foot long is eight.
eat dogs? It's hard
to like capture the
essence of the size of it.
It is massive.
Let me see if I can, there's a
here, look, this is from a TikTok.
This is like the best I could show
in terms of like, look at how
fucking big that dog is.
Oh, so it's, so it's just much
thicker than a normal dog.
Why does it look black?
It's so much thicker and longer and
it's fucked up.
It's a fucked up hot dog
and it has fucked me.
for like six days, five day.
I had that on Friday,
and I'm still recovering.
We're almost like a week away.
I'm on coffee news time.
I'm hoping by the middle of the next week.
I'll be back.
You ate the whole thing?
Yeah.
That thing is huge.
It is huge.
Yeah.
It was my dinner.
How long did it take and how did it taste?
Terrible.
Didn't taste very good.
All the toppings on the bottom,
which was a strange choice.
Yeah, we saw it.
In that picture, it is just plain dog.
It's plain, it appeared, but if you were to lift the dog up, there is ketchup on the inside.
But because of the subway, because it's just Subway sandwich bread, it's nothing unique about the bun.
It, like, kind of absorbed all the ketchup, so it didn't feel like there's any, like, any, like, ketchup on it.
Some crispy onions.
That was good.
The crispy onions were, I think, the best part of the thing.
Also, Subway sandwich bread doesn't translate well as a bun.
Well, it's a footlong subway bun.
It's so different from a hot dog bun.
So much denser and so much more bread.
Is there a way to find out the percentage daily allowance of all the shit in that?
Like, you surely had a week's worth of sodium.
Yeah, he went over.
Yeah, he went over.
I tried to pull it up, but it's, yeah, subway was closed, and it wouldn't let me.
Andrews folic acid levels are off the charts now.
Oh, they were bad.
I can't believe you didn't just stop.
Why did you eat the whole thing if it wasn't good?
It was my dinner.
It wasn't like, I ate my dinner.
You ate a whole pack of hot dogs.
You don't usually do that for dinner, surely?
No, but it was an item.
I just ordered a menu item.
Well, he told himself, you're not getting up from this dinner table to you eat your entire meal, Mr.
Yeah, that's right.
Eat your foot long subway hot dog now all the way.
Clean that plate.
Right.
Like, it didn't track as being, I was like, I will never eat this again.
But it wasn't like dreadful.
It was just incredibly average.
When are you going to eat it again?
Never.
Oh, never again.
So that'd be a pretty big punishment to you
if you had to eat one again someday.
Interesting.
What happened to you afterwards?
The first consequence was just the way out
for it exiting the body.
Dreadful.
Dreadful experience.
And then just feeling off
ever since.
But not having any of the symptoms of food poisoning.
Just being like,
Like something happened.
Emotionally something happened in that process.
And, uh, I'm still recovering.
It poisoned your mind.
Yeah.
Yeah, it did.
You got mind poisoning.
It's like when your body is trying to fight something off.
And, uh, I've been, I've been sleeping a lot the last few days is just like, oh my God.
I just feel bad.
Can, can I ask, because you posted some pictures, you like, check it out, the subdog, uh,
which is only available in Canada.
so everyone's aware.
We can't,
we don't have it here.
We would have to just go to Costco
and get a hot dog,
I suppose.
But it's listed in this first image
is $11.
And then you showed us
your order and it is more than double
the price at $23 in $2.
Can you explain what happened?
Oh, that's,
you could get it six inch or foot long.
Oh.
A six inch hot dog is $11.
Yeah.
Do they cut it in half?
Yeah.
It's not a different dog.
They just cut it in half.
That sucks.
How much did we pay for our hot dogs the other day?
Six bucks?
Yeah, something like that.
Good Lord.
It says extra cheese.
That's surely a modification.
Yeah, you have modifications on here.
I just don't believe it.
I just don't believe it.
That's it.
I did.
You know what?
I did.
But that's not reflective of the 11.
You?
The 11 is just the base.
I'm just reading all the addids.
Shredded, shredded cheddar and extra cheese as two separate items.
Uh-huh.
So you put-
Bread has cheese too.
So there's cheese on the bread, you added cheese, and then you added extra cheese and baking.
No, no, no, no, no. No. No. You have to pick what type of cheese you want.
Okay. Oh, then just put more of it. And then I, yeah, then just extra cheese.
And you thought with this foot long eight times dog protein dog, you want to pay?
what I was getting into, Gavin.
You want bacon on that.
What kind of bacon are you getting in Canada on a hot dog?
I don't know.
I didn't really notice it.
So what on this list are your mods?
Bacon, cheese, and I think that's it.
Crispy onions is standard, or that's something you added?
That's standard.
I hate to say, I think you salad creams this dog.
I think you put too much on it.
I mean, he's,
He's describing the hot dogs we ate at Fraser's the other day.
About the same ingredients.
I certainly made it worse because I didn't understand what the base experience was going to be.
But I don't think I made any choices that are outside the realm of logic when you're crafting a dog.
The whole thing is outside the realm of logic.
It's on subway bread.
I didn't know that.
You didn't know that at the time.
A foot long sub dog.
It just seemed like a fun novelty item
I like trying a fun novelty item
Try
Try doesn't mean eat the whole thing
Well it was dinner
You gotta eat the whole thing
How you get it? What if the last bite's so good
Well also plus he paid for it
Yeah
Share it around
With add-ons
It was bad it's bad
I'm still I'm working through it
So what
So like let's say day three
What are you feeling? Just lethargic
I just
Defeated
just defeated
and
uh
butthole soreness still
what the fuck
my god
but like nothing
normal
past the following
like the first day
it just
it was a fight
and uh
bruising
not literal
but like
felt like it
so surely you're not going to
do blind wipes after this dog?
No, absolutely not.
You were looking?
I just, uh,
yeah, I'm broken.
Uh,
broken man.
Jeff brought up that we had dogs the other day.
Myself, Jeff and Gavin,
went to a place called Frazier's and got hot dogs.
And on the way there,
Jeff decided that
Shapes Lab presents
wrong way lunch.
Is that what you called it?
Shape, shape, is it shape or shapes?
I don't even know.
Shapes Lab presents wrong way lunch day.
It's an amazing new show, supplemental show at Regulation where we go to conventional
restaurants where people eat conventional items in conventional ways.
And we flip the script and we eat it the wrong way for lunch.
It's wrong way lunch day.
Nick, you're going to love it.
We had sideways hot dogs the other day and it was gross.
It was gross.
How do you sideways
a dog? Where do you start?
We went through the top.
Middle out. Yeah. Then you go
you go top like middle top
down. Okay. And then
you try to get to the dog.
Me and Gavin have the same mouth depth.
Yeah. Which I learned.
When you take a
bite of a dog and you don't get any dog
in the bite, it's a real
it's really something. It's a strange
feeling. It's not about
the bite of the dog. It's about the dog in the bite. It is truly about the dog in the bite.
You know how parents like mark the door frames of their kids height and stuff that we're talking about recently?
What if we had a wooden pole sticking out the wall and we did our mouth depths?
I like this idea.
It was it was a very strange lunch to go and do. And also every time I eat at that place specific.
it's always a very strange lunch.
I've never had a normal experience
to that place. It was my third, fourth time,
third time there, and every time has been weird.
Yeah. This was the best experience
we had. Yeah. But even then it was weird.
That whole conversation started with, because I was wondering
whether, I was thinking about the lab, and I was wondering
whether we could make one giant frozen M&M for Nick
by melting down a bag of M&Ms.
I was just like doing shapes with my hands.
And then for some reason we're talking about ostrich eggs,
and I thought,
oh, what if we emptied our ostrich eggs
and we each wore an egg as
a boxing glove and whoever's
eggshells broke first loses?
And then Eric just said, get out of the
shapes lab.
That's true. You guys invented shapes lab.
He was in the shapes lab, but the problem with the
shapes lab is that it really got stuck in his
head. So the rest of the day
he would like not finish
sentences, but would just
sort of like make a circle
with his hands. Like that would
the finish of his sentence?
Nick?
They never were.
It was the weirdest thing, man.
It was for like an hour straight.
He finished every sentence with a shape,
and none of it made sense.
Well, the first, the first time I realized my sentence was over.
Like, I had the intonation that there was going to be more.
But it was basically, you know, what if we made a single M&M,
like melted down the chocolate, melt it down the shell,
recovered it.
Oh, wow.
And I ended the sentence, and I just realized I didn't have anything else to say.
So I just made a circle with my hand.
and Eric was furious.
Well, he just, because he's saying it
like he's ending a sentence.
He didn't.
It was, well, what if we made
a giant Eminem?
And it was like, okay,
and, and then he just kept making a circle
with his hands, but there was no more conversation.
That was the end of the conversation.
And then throughout the day, I would deliberately stop
a sentence like almost mid-syllable
and do a circle with my hands.
and Eric was fuming.
It was like, I was just like, what's happening?
Like, what is going on?
Like, why is it this way?
It was crazy.
It was really nuts.
It was, dude, blew me away.
Blew me away.
Wild.
We're gonna do hamburgers next.
Or pizza.
I thought of a weird way to eat pizza.
So pretty jazzed about that.
No, please.
That's not weird enough.
I got weirder.
The underneath.
That's interesting.
That's interesting idea.
That is interesting.
Yeah.
For sure.
I'm just glad we're not talking hot dogs.
I don't know when I'll eat a hot dog.
again. Hot dogs might be dead for a while.
I'm so sorry, dude. I hope
you don't have to take like a corn dog level
break. I think I might. I really
think I might. That's rough.
It fuck me up. Your joy
is gone. It is.
I don't believe you. I just don't
believe you. I think
you'll be eating hot dogs before you know it.
I don't believe you.
I was sick and
just listening to you guys talk a moment ago.
Disgusted by it.
I think within
the next two months, within the next 60 days.
No way. No chance.
I was so fucking done with hot dogs after the year of hot dogs.
And then two weeks later, I saw a hot dog at a game and I couldn't wait to get it.
Wow.
So you might be surprised.
You might be surprised.
It's emotional damage, though, is the thing.
I think you could recover.
Maybe therapy would get you back.
I hope.
I think you're going to have a short-term memory for it and you're going to get a dog.
I wonder if there is such a thing as a hot dog therapist out there that you could
Maybe a hypnotist?
I feel like this would fall in an hypnotist range.
It was interesting biting through a hot dog the wrong way.
Because it kind of, like when I eventually bit through the dog, it took me two bites.
I ended up with kind of like a V shape in the middle of my dog.
And then when I picked it up, it sort of collapsed over and made a perfect right angle.
So I'm wondering, could I potentially take four bites out of this foot long subdog and make
a hot dog photo frame.
Oh.
What?
I mean,
I'm back in the shapes lab.
He's back in the shape slab.
Get out of the shapes lab.
No,
I'm gonna need you to go over that again.
I got lost in the sauce there.
So, okay, so imagine you've taken a bite
out of the middle of a hot dog
the way we ate lunch the wrong way, right?
Okay.
Yep.
Now, that dog folds over perfectly
at 90 degrees.
So it's like a corner dog.
So I'm saying take three bites
out of the foot long
and fold it three.
three times and make a perfect square.
Make a frame dog.
Yeah.
I love that idea.
We should film that.
See, Jeff's in the shapes lab with me there.
Eric, can you write down frame dog so we can film that?
I'm going to write down frame dog, but I'm not going to write down anything else with it.
We might have to remember a frame dog.
Gavin will remember.
I won't, but Gavin will.
We can do that at Costco.
Could you write shapeslap colon, frame dog?
You got it.
Thank you.
Yep.
No, hey, no problem, man.
Maybe we go build a frame dog tomorrow.
instead. How are we going to get such a long dog? I think Costco has footlongs, don't they?
They do. I don't think they're full. I don't know if it's... They're big. They're not footlong.
They're big. They are big. They're not compared. Yeah, stop. You're making Andrew hungry.
Are you opposed to combining two L dogs into one frame dog or should it all be the same dog?
Oh, I'm fine with that. Okay. Maybe we use mustard to join them. Oh, God. It is a binding agent.
That won't hold. That won't hold. A little nick of little faith there.
I know my condiments, Jeff
He does
I trust that man with condiments for sure
Maybe Nick should be the final judge of the shapes lab
Like, do we go ahead with the idea or not?
Because Nick has more food knowledge
That's true
Well versed in it
Speaking of food knowledge
We should bring up that on the break show on Monday
Someone sent in two
Head and Feet coins
and submitted them as potentially the new official,
the next drop of coins.
And the ball's now in the coins ours, obviously.
But I figure, like, we should mention that on the main podcast
that we do have a head enough.
Nick, you're going to love these coins, by the way.
Yeah, Nick, have you, you, you haven't had a chance
because I don't know if you're editing it,
but you haven't, you haven't looked at the break show, have you?
I have not, no.
Okay, okay, okay.
How is this related to food?
It's not.
Okay.
I just thought that'd be a funny way to stitch that together.
Oh, I see.
Hey, but, Andrew, I'm glad you were paying attention.
Oh, I'm locked in, Jeff.
Hanging on every word.
And you're locked in.
Nick, do you have any indication of how mad Eric was while you were gone?
Only what you hinted at in the meeting on Monday.
Well, what Jeff hinted at, I should say.
Nick came in and said hello and I said,
nobody here likes you anymore.
I was so upset that I feel like
this head and foot coin
is justified and I want to actually do something with it
I like that I agree quite a bit
what happened to your headlight
I look like a fucking cryptid
you're inicted
you look like you know in the fly how he's slowly
turning into a fly it looks like you did that with a Simpson
and you're slowly converting into a Simpson fly
Icarumba.
Just Bart Simpson.
Kill me.
The audio kind of works.
Interesting.
Again, to reiterate from the meeting we had on Monday,
not interesting.
I'm not interested in it.
Well, that's my way of saying something without saying,
what did you fuck up?
I, you're so lucky.
I'm not going to be there tomorrow.
You're out of your fucking mind.
Next time this fucking falls apart
Somebody else can fucking fix it
You must be out of your mind
What did you break? I turned it the fuck on
Now, now whatever it is
I have it working in whatever state that it's in
So I don't know, you figure it out now
But Jesus Christ you gave me the Mike Pertl special
It's just like dude
You gave me the like
Yeah why didn't you flip the two magic switches
I never told you about
And that's what you needed to do
To get the sound right
Why do you have...
Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up.
Why do you have two instances
of the audio software
on the iPad
because one doesn't work?
What is that?
One is older
and it says the new one
should be taking over for it
but sometimes you'll go to it
and it doesn't work properly
so you have to go to the old one
to make it work.
And you left a note
explaining that somewhere, did you?
I told him that before.
Eric?
You're like, which one do I use?
I'm like, you use this one
unless it's not working
then go to the other one.
I'm never doing it again.
I'm never doing it again.
I'm never
doing it again. Andrew sounded like he was coming through a tin can. Oh, it was bad. And then,
and then we sounded terrible going to him. But when I listened to the headphones on the board,
everything was fine. Hmm, interesting. Not again, to reiterate, not interesting. Not interesting.
To reiterate, that stops me from from throwing down accusations. So I'm just going to.
We also, I watched Eric fiddle around with it for basically an entire afternoon multiple times.
and we got it to the point where
OBS, we did a test recording
and we somehow, over the span of multiple hours,
got everything working, the recording was great.
Oh, you used OBS.
Well, to stream?
Yeah.
Do you not use OBS to stream?
For the break show, yes.
But not for the other one.
Oh.
We can.
Do we know that?
Did we know that?
Because we hit start streaming
and there was no audio at all.
What?
Oh, that's crazy.
Yeah, it's interesting.
Well, sometimes if there's been a power surge or something in the office,
OBS, sorry, this is very technical, but OBS will sometimes lose its connection,
and you'll have to re...
A power search?
Was it 1912?
There's power search.
What are you talking about?
You ever lose power?
You know what lightning is?
You ever bought a search protector?
Explain lighting.
It doesn't always...
It still shuts off sometimes.
And when it comes back on,
it doesn't always reconnect
to the right channel.
So you have to reset it.
Does this happen to do a house?
No, but it happens
at the 100% eat house.
I have a search protector on my house.
What do we freaking up when it work?
No, we have search protector outlets,
but not on the house itself.
There we go.
Solve that for you.
Friday.
The ocean shows you to save us all.
The stories are true.
The story has just begun.
From Disney.
Moana a Motinui, daughter of the chief.
Let's save the world.
Ready?
It's Maui time.
I'm going to eat whatever that is.
His name is Haye Hey.
Boats nerd.
Disney's Moana.
In theaters Friday.
Get tickets now.
Nick, I took some heat off you.
It makes you feel any better.
That is true.
Andrew did take some of the heat off.
by a... I did. I fucked up.
I'm on an apology tour.
We need to test his stuff
at a... Well, last week you showed up.
That wasn't my fault. That was my fault. I showed up
scheduled time. But we all message you.
You're... I don't even watch...
I don't even like... This is like...
Showed up scheduled time.
You're... The previous week,
my fault. The previous
week, Andrew took a nap through
the Friday stream.
Oh, I thought I... Okay. I saw some of the
on slack that you guys were worried he died.
Yeah, I was worried.
He doesn't often disappear without saying anything.
No.
It's never happened before.
We give the full story of the events that occurred the day before.
And this is pre-subdog.
This is pre-subdog.
Yeah, but it led into the sub-dog.
I had a sub-dog that day and that it's been bad ever since.
Night before, day before,
I was organizing.
I have a little, like, a little thing of treats.
some candies, whatnot.
Get a little candy stash.
I know about that.
Exactly. Nick gets it.
Yeah, I get it.
Sorting through, like, what could maybe be given away to friends,
what, like, what, what, we'll gotten this stash,
what are we getting rid of?
Maybe, like, just never going to consume this.
And in that stash was just a Ziploc bag of, like, six chocolates.
Like, just six loose chocolates.
Went through everything.
It's fine.
We've gone with life.
Went to sleep, woke up at like maybe 2.30 a.m. on Friday, the day of the stream.
And I woke up to pee. And I sat up and I thought, I kind of have like a vague memory of feeling something weird.
Well, I woke up for a minute, felt something unusual and then went back to sleep.
What was I laying on? Put my hand back.
the Ziploc bag of chocolates
did not leave the bed. It had fully melted
and leaked out of the bag everywhere.
Chocolate was all over the bed.
And now I'm so
I'm so tired. I just wanted to pee and then go back to bed.
I have a chocolate bed.
And then I realized, well, certainly I'm covered in chocolate right now.
I'm going to have to clean up.
Because I am just
coated in it because it is
everywhere in the bed.
I get up
and it's as early, I just feel
not good. I'm like, I'm
going to, this is what I'm going to do.
I can't have a shower.
That just seems like too much. I'm going to have a bath.
I've been meaning to play this new
Yoshi game.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
You can't have a shower. That's too much.
I'm going to have a bar.
The concept of standing and getting hit by a shower
just felt too harsh. I was the more
morale was too low. I need to just relax and like I'm not going to go back to sleep immediately.
That's dead. So I might as well have like an hour long bath and just enjoy life a little bit
with my Yoshi game that's cute and fun and whatever. Pick up my switch slips out of my hands,
drop my switch. The joycon launches off the side of the switch. My switch is now broken.
I cannot. I cannot attach a joycon to the one side of it. Like it'll snap.
in but it will not recognize that it is there and if I try to charge my joycon it will not charge
on half of the platform like the console I cannot use my switch anywhere but docked currently and I need
to get a specific joist or not the specific but I need to get like an external joycon charger
to be able to play it essentially in controller mode that's done I'm correct about the chocolate
situation.
Lay in the bath,
get the chocolate off,
get up,
have a quick shower,
come back to my chair.
You had a shower anyway.
Wait.
You also had a shower?
The whole reason for the bath
was because you didn't want to have a shower.
Yes, but I was like,
what if,
what, because I'm not fully
submerged in the tub,
I need to be careful.
I don't want to create more chocolate.
This all of this sucks.
No, it doesn't.
This makes perfect sense.
You have such a way of revealing
information in a story.
It makes perfect sense.
Let me explain the shower.
It wasn't a full shower.
It was like a 30 second.
I'm going to spit in a circle shower.
That's all you needed in the first place.
No, I needed way more than that.
Trust me.
There was a lot of chocolate.
It was a chocolate-e scenario.
Anyway, now done.
I'm clean.
I sit back down in the chair.
I don't know how I'm going to get back into bed
and I need to sleep because it's now
like 5 a.m.
I don't want to wake my partner up
but all of the chocolate is on like my side essentially
of this bed. What time did this start at
230 or something? It's like 23 a.m.
So you've been doing this for two hours?
I guess three to four. It's probably like
4.30 when I came out.
Hours aren't necessarily accurate, specifically.
It just, it was time passed. It's now early in the morning.
Got to try to avoid the cats very interested in this chocolate
keeping them away from it.
my solution is
I will
take off half the sheet
that I can
and then I'll fold it
and it'll just have to live there until the morning
when my partner works up and then I can remove it
get it cleaned all that
I sleep for a few hours
but it's a terrible sleep
terrible chocolatey sleep
wake up get it off
throw it in the washer whatever
it's washing
get it clean
we record some great supplemental
and then put the sheets on
on the bed. Well, I don't, they're like,
not like made, but like they're on the bed.
And I decide, I'm gonna lay down after we record
those things. Just relax for a little bit
until our stream. And I discover a new
sleep position. And it's incredible.
It's like your own universal ride.
I'm bad at like what things are called.
what's the sheet that goes on the bottom of the bed
that you have a naked bed and then you put the sheet
and that now the bed is a fitted sheet
fitted sheet so it's like curved
it's a curved sheet and it wants to
like it's pulling in a little bit
so I lay underneath
the curved sheet
and then the fan
I have a fan fans blown
it kind of inflates it a little bit
I'm fully surrounded by this sheet
it's kind of it flates
somewhat, but it's such a light sheet that it really blows by the fan.
Like, it's really, what's going?
And I feel, I feel like I'm a butter, like I'm going to emerge a butterfly of sleep.
Like I'm surrounded.
I'm kind of cocooned like it's moving around.
I play some water noises, like some rain, and it feels like a budget at home universal ride
where there's a storm happening.
And the water's hitting the thing and the sheet is shaking.
and I get very comfortable
and I fall asleep
almost instantly
it's a great position
the problem is
I didn't set an alarm
for the stream
but I thought I did
because when I initially fell asleep
I was dreaming that I was on my phone
and I was scrolling
and I distinctly remember
waking up with my
hand on my stomach
and my thumb rubbing up
like I was scrolling on the phone.
So I thought I had set an alarm.
In the dream I had said an alarm,
I did not actually set an alarm.
Fell back to sleep.
Woke up essentially
directly when the stream ended and felt terrible.
But it was a chocolatey sleep that led to my stream missing.
And then having a dream that I set an alarm.
Sleep at night.
Be awake during the day.
I was asleep at night.
The core of the story was I was sleeping at night.
I got up to pee.
and it was a chocolate bed.
But what's interesting, though, is that
we were worried where you were
to the point where on the stream we were like,
oh, I hope he's okay, I hope it's not like an emergency.
But then you said your partner watched the whole stream.
Yeah, I guess I phrased
that you guys were going to stream,
so they interpreted that as
that I wasn't supposed to be there
for whatever reason.
But it's okay. We have the failsafe.
We have additional failsafe,
so that never happens again.
And then,
Last week, when you weren't available and you were only there for scheduled time, were you asleep?
Well, that was subdog time.
That was, we're in a subdog world.
Subdorn.
Just be sleep at night.
I did during the day.
I did.
I did both.
Multitality.
We filmed supplemental stuff.
We're all like, okay, cool.
We'll be back at the stream time.
I was there at the stream time.
To not answer slacks or texts,
and it's after a week where you missed the whole thing before,
showed up on time.
And I was just sitting in the room going,
there's no fucking way he does it again.
But for...
I didn't.
But for an hour, maybe an hour and a half,
I was going, oh, he's going to miss it again.
He's going to miss it again.
Because we need him so that way we can do this audio testing.
And he's not getting back.
to us through text or slack.
Audio testing baked into the showup time.
It's certainly not for this, for what we're dealing with.
Not on a non-Nick week, yeah.
Yeah.
Well, maybe the scheduled time should have been different.
I don't think it's asking that much.
I'm not disagreeing.
It sounds like you're disagreeing in the way that you're disagreeing.
No, I agree it's not a huge ask, but also showed up on time.
I go back to the bar thing.
So you, so is the chocolate on your back?
Oh yeah.
And you thought,
instead of rinsing off first and getting in the tub,
I'll sit with my melted chocolate in the tub water.
What do you mean rinse and then, what do you mean?
Like rinse the, if you're going to have the bath,
because the shower's too much,
rinse the chocolate off before you get in the bath.
With what?
How?
Do you remember when you had the shower again anyway?
Do that part first.
Yeah.
Do the spin around.
No, though.
I was not, the morale was too low.
I couldn't have done it.
So you built morale in the bathtub that allowed you to take a...
I had to wake up a little bit.
Yeah.
Couldn't do it.
So did the chocolate get in the water in that, in the tub?
Well, it melted. It melts and that it goes off.
Yeah, it melts, and then it goes away.
Then it goes away.
Except for the part where I was right, where it was, you know, long back, well established, got out of the tub, showered.
Can you imagine what it must be like to sleep in the same room as Andrew, to go to sleep knowing that the second you goes off, he's going to embark on some sort of series of misadventures all around you in your space and you're just going to blissfully snore through it?
This, I just want to tuck you in even more because my tuckings would have a pass of the bed built in.
Like, I would not tuck you into a food bed.
Oh, you'd search the bed beforehand?
Definitely. There would be no food in the bedroom.
I was saying, long back, next day, I look,
chocolate on the back wall.
Oh my God. It went through the pillows?
No, no, no, in the tub. Oh, the back wall of the tub. I'm sorry.
Yeah, yeah. Backwell at the tub.
And are you having to explain to your partner? This is chocolate, not doo-doo, I promise.
No.
Okay.
They just knew?
No.
Oh, I mean, half the best...
bed was folded.
Yeah, it smelled delicious.
It smelled so good.
Hot chocolate morning.
They got better chocolate up there.
You know, oh, you're just mouthwatering laying in bed.
Oh, I can't wait.
This is chocolatier level stuff.
This is custom.
Was the Ziploc not sealed properly, or did the heat and build up burst it open?
It bursted.
Bursted on multiple sides.
Multiple sides.
It's everywhere.
It bursted out the top and bottom.
It shot everywhere.
Did you dive bum into the bed?
It burst.
It burst out.
It bursted.
It bursted everywhere.
It burst.
It burst out.
Yeah.
It was crazy.
It was a bad day.
And then I showed up on time the next week, so everything is fine.
I mean, I'm agreeing with you.
Technically, you were on time for the time in the calendar, but you did know that.
I was actually, I was going to say you did know that we were having audio problems the week before, but no, you didn't.
I didn't.
Seriously.
I disagree.
He did know because we tried to do some recordings with our regular recording setup, and it sounded like we were talking to each other through tin cans on strings.
That is true.
That is true.
I guess I wouldn't associate that as the Twitch setup as well.
Yeah, we went to a different house to do all the streaming, so.
You went to a different room?
It's a different room, and like, there's different cables and stuff.
See, I didn't know that.
You're not helping Nick.
I'm telling Andrew.
I didn't know that.
I'm helping Eric.
Who are you helping?
I'm sorry, who are you helping?
I'm on your side, man.
This sucks.
This guy.
You know what?
Nick came back this week and we did 100% eat and I went, you know what?
I'm getting along with Nick.
This is great.
Everything's out the window now.
What do you mean?
This is great.
We're going to get a fixed.
I will say I would recommend trying out that sleep position.
You grab yourself bottom.
whatever fitted sheet. Covered in chocolate? No, just the, the, be a butterfly. Be a cocoon.
Did it feel like you was sailing? Like sleep sailing? Ooh, I didn't even think about it in that way.
Is your head above the fitted sheet, but the rest of it is under? Or is your head? No, everything's
under. Oh. Because I got that CPAP. I can breathe on the outside, on the inside. Yeah, I don't
like to have my head covered when I sleep. I feel like I can't breathe. I don't either, except CPAP allows.
You've got a little life. I do. I'm actually tired after.
Andrew's story.
Oh, that's, dude, you should, you should wait and then sleep at night and then be awake during
the day.
I don't know.
I don't know.
We'll see.
Eric, what are you going to do with these coins?
I don't know.
I'm not sure.
They are awful looking.
They are just, like, disgusting to look at.
But I think maybe the move is to give one away one way, one way and then give another one
away a different way.
I agree.
And I don't know that it needs to be like, oh, in some merch, we'll put it.
it in. No, I don't want people to pay for it. Yeah. No, I don't think so. We got to figure out
how to give them out. I don't...
Can we just do a heads or tails bracket and just put everyone's name in and then it goes
one way? Like, you just split the names and half until there's eventually one winner of the
coin. I really like that idea. That's a great idea. So when you're saying everyone's name,
what do you mean? Everyone on the Patreon. So if you're a Patreon member, your name,
this, I really like. This could be a video.
I don't think we could do a paid member because
is that like a lottery, that's probably illegal somehow.
But we should be able to just put everyone
who's signed up for free even on the Patreon.
And then we take, so it's like every name.
Say let's just pick it and say it's 10,000 names or whatever.
Then you split that in half and it's 5,000 and 5,000.
Yeah, so you've got 5,000 feet, 5,000 head.
Heads.
And then you just keep flipping.
I like this, Gavin.
This is, I'm taking this into consideration.
I will, as the coins are,
I'll take this into consideration, and this bodes well for you in the next wheel spin for who
coins are.
Before this podcast wraps, I just remembered something I wanted to share.
That was a fantastic interaction I had over the weekend.
I got a text from Millie saying, bro, explain this fantasy football stuff to me.
Because, like, I guessed everything.
And I don't really get the app.
okay, I was just informed
that the sport was hockey, not even football.
Yeah, Millie didn't even know.
Speaking of Millie, I just heard her walk in the front door.
She's in for a week.
But yeah, she didn't,
she was number 779 in the world
out of like a quarter of a million people
on the fantasy ESPN app.
And she didn't even know what sport she had won in.
Betting on the wrong sport?
She thought she was doing football, yeah.
So, Jeff, can you
can you just have a pick six?
numbers for me just for no reason.
Yeah, yeah, I should, right?
But tell her they're, she's actually picking letters.
Oh, man.
I asked, is this the thing that you did incredibly well at, or are you looking at something
else?
And it was, in fact, the thing that they did incredibly well at, and which I explained the
Vegas, how crazy it was that Vegas made the final for Carolina and that the series
flipped.
And their response was, somebody should have told me, I would have changed my pick.
You're locked in, unfortunately.
That's so funny.
It was perfect.
It was great.
It was everything you want from somebody
that was in the top 1,000
as far as predictions go for sport.
99.7% accurate, I think, is what it was.
Fantastic. Crazy.
I have a small update before we end.
Okay.
You know how recently Jeff
called me and for some reason
dialed my UK number
when I was in America
and it cost me nine quid.
Yeah.
I thought I was just worried.
I was,
I was actually in the tub.
Oh,
just having to have a little think about stuff.
And I was like,
chocolate?
I didn't have any chocolate.
But I thought,
what are the chances Jeff is only stupid one time?
And then,
uh,
I looked at my UK,
I looked at my UK phone bill.
He freaking does it all the time.
Every time he calls me,
he's phoned my UK number.
I got one call here from October,
four minutes,
11 quid, and what there was 15 minutes, a little bit, like a few days earlier, 37 quid.
Hey, be happy I don't call you more.
What, what are you doing? Delete that number.
Call on my friend.
It tripled my phone bill.
I think it's your fault for giving him that number.
Give me multiple numbers, yeah.
How did I get the number?
Oh, you gave it to me?
Okay, cool.
Here's the number, but don't use it.
And what contacts does Jeff need your...
Because, Andrew, why?
That was my only number.
Well, you spend half the time you're in the UK.
I gotta get in touch with you somehow.
Yeah, but that was my number from before I left,
before I moved here.
Why do you still have it?
So my friends could talk to me?
Am I a friend?
I think you just have to delete it from Jeff's fun.
Get it off as fun.
Get it off the phone.
Ever going to stop using that number.
You got to get it off as fun.
There is nothing you can do short of blocking me to get me to stop contacting you through that number.
I've already come up with a way to avoid it. Because you can have multiple sims in the phone and you can label them.
And I, like a fool, labeled them US and UK. And they look very similar when someone's calling you. The text is tiny.
So now they are labeled US and do not answer.
What if it's important?
If I call enough times, you'll answer.
Oh, 50 quid.
You got to get it off his phone.
An office phone.
Good luck.
Get it off his phone.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I'll stealth it.
Stealth it.
When he's in the office,
sneak the phone.
You have to do some sort of like hitman
or Sam Fisher style
fucking tactical
incursion to get it off my phone.
I think it's a lot less.
It would be a lot less
than what he's describing.
I'll do it.
Gonna have to be complicated.
I was listening to a jackass podcast,
and they talked about when they were working in, like, a magazine thing.
The way they would buy their CDs is they'd tell their boss
that they were going to have a handstand contest,
and then he'd do it, and all the stuff would fall out of his pockets,
and then one of them would step on his credit card.
I think, Gavin, you just asked Jeff to do a handstand contest.
It's not hard.
You get it done real quick.
I can do it.
handstand. See?
I can do a handstand longer than any of you.
I don't think that's true.
Sounds like it needs to be a contest.
Yeah, I just don't remember not to bring my wallet that day.
Speaking of Jackass, I saw the movie.
Did you guys see it? Does anybody see it?
No, is it good?
Man, I watched it and I really liked it.
And I thought it was like a really sweet kind of nostalgic send-off for an era, really.
I really feel like that era of the world is over.
And I was bummed to read everything I've read.
read about online is people
trashing it and saying it was terrible
but I really, the only thing that I just
rated wasn't great is that I saw it
in D-box, no point in seeing
it in D-box, it doesn't really add anything to it.
Why'd you watch it without me?
That's a good question, and I was wondering if you were
going to ask this.
Emily surprised me with
she was just like, we were like sitting at home
at like 10 p. 9 p.m. on
Friday night and she said, do you want to go the movies with me?
And I said, yeah, let's go the movies and we just
jumped up and went. So it wasn't like a
a planned thing.
but yes, I feel bad.
I should have seen it with you.
Well, okay, you're giving him.
You're letting him off the hook real easily.
That one.
Wasn't a plain thing.
He could have, yeah, he could have went to see any other movie.
They didn't have one movie.
He's my best friend, and it was a valid excuse.
My wife wanted to see Jackass.
I want to see it with you.
Do you want to see it tomorrow night?
Are you free?
Yes.
All right, maybe we'll go see it with Millie or something.
Let's do it.
Okay, great.
Yeah, I need money.
Gavin's...
A lot of people are seeing Toy Story.
I need some money for Jackass.
That movie opened up at $8 million.
The previous Jackass opened up at like 22.
Yeah.
Well, that's the last.
Yeah.
That's the last.
A lot of people don't want to see stuff end.
I actually wanted to see it end.
I was happy to see it end.
And when you watch it, I think you'll see how old they are.
And you'll be like, it's time.
It's...
And they know it's time.
You know, I think that's the...
I appreciate that they're confronting it.
A damn good right.
Speaking of ending.
Yeah.
Shall we wrap up the show, Jeff?
Thank you for listening to another episode of the Regulation Podcast.
This has been episode 113.
What a journey we've gone on.
From the closing of a home and the disrespect of epic proportions to Andrew
clover, slathering himself in chocolate and rolling around in a bathtub.
You had it all today, everyone.
I hope you enjoy it.
These are the years.
These are the golden times.
We are in them and among them right now.
Have a great fucking week.
Go out and go forth and spread the.
the word of regulation. We'll see you next time. Bye bye. Bye. Bye.
