Hello and welcome to another episode of the Regulation Podcast.
This is Episode 67.
My name is Jeff Ramsey with me.
As always, Andrew Panton, Nick Schwartz, Gavin Free, Eric Badoor.
Today is a Gavin episode.
Gavin, take it away.
Hello.
Back to you, Jeff.
And thank you for listening to the Regulation Podcast, apparently.
It's pretty good.
God damn it.
I'm like the one in volleyball
that just go straight up with it
in front of the net.
Gavin turned yes and to just a mirror.
He just bounced right back at me.
Isn't that every player in volleyball?
Isn't it just part of volleyball?
He's the setter,
but Jeff was also the setter.
So instead a bun set spike,
it was just set, set, nothing.
Set, set floor.
Oh, Christ.
I got nothing today.
Oh, I was trying to give it to Gat.
I was trying to smoothly transition into Gat.
Then I figured Gavin being the professional that he is with his 10,000 hours of experience under his belt would intuit that and grab it and just run with an awesome episode of hilarity.
You just said you have nothing.
Where are you calling out his professionalism?
That is true.
No.
To come with nothing.
Because I came in.
I got nothing.
Wow, man.
Cool.
Hell yeah.
Fine.
You know what?
I'll make something up right now.
What do you think the moment?
Here we go.
Here we go.
I saw a snake.
You saw a snake?
I saw a snake.
Weren't you hoping that you'd never see a snake again or something?
Yeah, I had invented snake follows.
Is this real?
Because you just this open with,
I need to make something up.
Yeah, is this real?
No, that's weird.
I'm just looking through my notes.
It just kept slipping into my notes.
You said you had no notes.
I always have notes.
I just don't have anything fucking awesome.
Here are my notes.
I found an infographic
for the most expensive materials on earth
I was on the fence on whether that would be worth
talking about with you guys or not
I didn't consider that to be a material
so even though it's in my notes
I didn't consider it something I that was like a filler
if something came up then I was doing some research
on something I write about whether I was faster
than a bird or not and I did find
one bird that I'm definitely faster than
and that bird had a lot of funny nicknames
I was probably going to bring that up
but I didn't feel like that was lead the podcast
material so I was going to bury it
or 15 minutes or so in.
You see what I mean?
Then I do.
All right, here's one good one that I, that's a little further down that I missed.
The other morning, I woke up with an idea in my head, okay?
Okay.
This, I think, is a material.
And I just had it too far down.
The other day, I woke up, I woke up with an idea in my head.
I was laughing as I had the idea as I woke up from it.
I immediately thought, I'm going to forget this idea.
Let me write down the essentials of it.
And then I'll go back to sleep.
Forgot about that until just this moment when I see it kind of buried halfway on my notes
because I woke up in the middle of the night
to write it down and so I didn't put it at the top of the notes
and I have no idea what this fucking means
I had invented a game
maybe you guys can help me out okay
the game is called dish dish clean piss
and then if it
then it's here are the only other two notes I have
okay this bad dish
dirty piss or
good dish no piss
well so what immediately comes to mind
is that you're cleaning these dishes with your piss
but I don't know how, are you able to just piss on command like that?
I don't know.
This was a game that I had envisioned that we would play together in the office.
I remember that looking at it.
And then these were the notes that were going to help jog my memory into the full game.
But I don't know what piss is in this scenario.
I don't know if it's actual human piss or if it's...
So maybe...
Maybe we take four plates, we all have lunch.
Three of them have been cleaned with water and one's been cleaned with piss.
and then we have to figure out
this feels like an idea that Gavin's pitching
where he's just going to end up with the pistish
you know what keff
oh no oh no
I lose again
you know what
that idea sounds really familiar
that really rings true
that was the idea
you might
you might be on to something
it might have been a situation where there were like
three clean dishes and one dish that had piss on it
Somebody got the Pish dish.
That sounds...
That sounds really right.
I'm not called that an A idea.
I like it.
I just don't think anyone actually wants to play it,
and I don't think anyone wants to see it is the problem.
I don't like it at all.
I like the idea.
That's lose-lose.
That's audience lose.
That's we lose.
I don't think I would even tell people that we played that.
I agree, but it was in my notes,
and you guys challenged me.
when I said I didn't have anything,
so I had to prove to you that I didn't have anything.
So did this snake piss on the dish?
No, I saw the snake on my bike right the other day.
Actually, it was about three weeks ago now.
You know, I had the whole snake follows revelation
and realized that events were being set into motion
to put a snake in front of me at some point
in the undefined future,
and that undefined future was about two episodes ago.
And I almost rode over it on my bicycle.
That's all.
I was just riding through the woods.
I was cutting through a...
Frisbee golf course.
And so was the snake.
The big black,
it is like maybe three feet long.
I thought it was an ugly stick for a second.
And I swerved just not to hit a stick.
And then I realized it was moving.
And then I, you know,
threw up on my mouth a little bit
and almost shit my pants.
And rode home immediately
and ended my ride.
And that was done.
That took the wind out of my sails.
I like that you noticed that it was an ugly stick.
Yeah, it looked weird.
I didn't like the look of it from the beginning.
I didn't want to hit it with my bike.
And then when I found out that it was organs and teeth,
I definitely didn't want to hit it.
Maybe you were too focused on dodging golf frisbee's.
Dude, I love.
I love.
Such a prank.
I fucking love riding through their dumb little frisbee course.
You're going to get clocked.
They got good throwing.
I'm not going to get...
I am not worried about those athletes hitting me with a frisbee.
Are you fucking kidding?
Jack used to play disc golf.
Exactly. I'm not worried about Jack hitting me with a frisbee from 75 feet away when I'm moving 18 miles an hour. No offense to Jack. But what it does do is you hear a bunch of dudes sitting on coolers go, oh man, as they got to wait while I ride by before they can sling their frisbee. It's fucking awesome. I have the opposite. If I feel like I'm in the wrong place. Oh, absolutely. I get so anxious. I'd freak out if I was accidentally. I need to leave immediately. I start sweating. I would go underground sooner than stay around.
on the someone's sport course
now in this situation
I'm the opposite of that
I look for reasons to cut through that
oh we know course to annoy them
like it's a highlight
yeah that's a feature and if you want to go on
bike rides with me you can too it's a lot of fun
I don't want this to happen to you
but there is in my mind a very funny montage
of you making this declaration about how you're not
scared of them and then cut to you
and like an upper body cast because
one of their things got in your bike wheel
and it made you tumble
Dude, I wouldn't even be mad.
If that happened, that would be so fucking funny.
I would applaud them for the shot.
Oh, if you're totally fair.
Maybe it should be, it's fine in the rules if someone goes through on a bike,
but they have to be wearing a bullseye shirt.
Oh, it doesn't even need to be a bullseye shirt.
Because, like, if you go to a driving range in golf,
everybody targets the little cart that comes to collect the balls.
So, like, I feel like that's you, Jeff.
Yeah.
You're the cart.
I'm the golden snitch
If they hit me, they win the day
It's like when you're playing a game
Where you're trying to accumulate score
And there's a bonus round
Like every five levels, you're the bonus round
They get a bunch of points if they hit you
But I think they probably want less points
But bonus points if they can hit me
Hard enough to make the bike change directions
Oh
I have to ask a question about that
The rant you went on just then
Did you call your podcast something all right?
did I
I didn't say anything because I'm
benevolent but here is Gavin
would you agree with that Gavin
is his podcast something all right
I yeah
he didn't know he's never listened to it
I looked up I looked up
I looked up
I looked up the slowest
bird to ever fly
it is the American woodcock
would you like to guess how slow the American woodcloth
Woodcock, Woodcock can fly.
The American Woodcock.
Yeah, American Woodcock.
Is it possible that I've seen a woodcock and don't even know it?
Yeah, because it's this stupid-ass-looking little bird.
He's this little dumb guy.
I like this guy like an idiot bird.
This is a real idiot animal.
So he has a long beak and he's kind of like a chunky fella.
Yeah.
Looks a little bit like a kiwi.
He does look a little bit like a kiwi.
But he's not, he's an American woodcock.
I would say, well, could he just hover.
in place? Is it zero? No, no, no. It's not zero. It's motion.
Four miles an hour. Four miles an hour. No, but you're very close. The American
Woodcock, when horny... Stop. Wait, horny? What is with you in that? The American
Woodcock, when horny, uh, it flies slower when it's putting on a show for the ladies.
Okay.
it's trying to attract women, you know, when it's like presenting, at its slowest,
it's been clocked at five miles an hour.
Oh, okay.
Wow, that's close.
So, you could probably walk faster than that thing could fly.
However, that's not the interesting thing about that little fucker.
The interesting thing about it is all of its nicknames.
It is colloquially referred to as, this sounds like the lineup of an entire,
of like a double A ball league.
The timber doodle, the mud bat, the hog suck.
I'm sorry, the bog sucker, the night partridge, the Labrador Twister, the brush snipe, the Hoke and Poke, or the Beccasie.
Those are all nicknames for that little bird.
The night partridge.
It was like when I look up a random wrestler and I look at their nicknames, what you just said.
Yeah.
Just bog sucker.
Random absurd.
Yeah, it must get down in the bog with its long beak.
Well, yeah, he can get really down there.
And then he can call out for anyone.
Have you guys heard the little sound he makes?
No, Eric is going to play it.
He's live.
Yeah.
check it out
check it out
this is the little sound
that he makes
now is he horny
when he's making this
psh
and that should be
that should be
the noise they play
when everybody
when somebody on
the Fort Wayne
bog suckers
hits a home run
Jeff is better
than this bird
in every way
I want to
I want to get
Woodcock text message
tone I think
that would be so
annoying
Like, when the group text is going off and you're just like, God, this fucking bird.
And that's the kind of information you can learn about on my other podcast, something all right.
I wish the woodcock was faster than you normally, but slower when horny.
I wish it was the thing where you were only faster when it was horny.
So it flies in migration at around like 14 miles an hour.
Okay.
Okay.
It slows down significantly when it gets a bonner.
Yeah.
That's great.
Is it cock a massive sale when it pops out?
Yeah, I think it slows it down.
It takes on too much drag.
I think when it pops out, it goes, eh.
I have some regulation news.
Regulation news?
Oh, and I've just realized
I've absolutely jeffed this picture.
Oh, no.
Jesus.
Okay, so it's going to be like the wrong way.
Go ahead and send it.
Go ahead and send it and redo it.
Oh, it is such a jeff!
You fucking blew it.
I jeffed it.
Anyway, my slop o'clock
stopped, and I was so bummed
they didn't stop at stop a clock.
What?
But can you imagine if it stopped at slop o'clock?
Would have been tremendous.
I would play the lottery that day.
Yeah, that's the lucky day.
Or you're doomed for forever sloppiness.
Yeah.
You're just cursed.
You're cursed in a constant state of slop.
I want to know if anyone else who, well, the six other people who bought the Slop o'clock,
amazing clock, by the way.
I don't know if any of your clocks have stopped.
Oh, mine has.
If any of them were close to Slop o'clock?
Have you ever had a Slop stop on Slop?
My Slop o'clock is currently stopped at 705.
Oh, you also stopped.
Oh, yeah, mine's stopped a long time ago.
I don't think I ever put batteries in mine and just set it to Slop a Clock and I leave it in the background.
That's smart.
That might be the way to do.
It's a decorative piece.
It's a decorative piece that nobody bought,
and then now people want, and we don't have.
Yeah, I do find there to be a sort of a hilarious irony
in the fact that I get requested constantly from people now.
Look at where mine stopped.
No way.
Are you serious?
It's like the exact same top.
What the fuck?
Do we have the most consistent batteries on the planet?
Are you serious?
How is that?
So if you start your sloppoclop.
Oh, even the second hand is almost close.
But it's like, it's like a minute off by like what, like one minute?
It's like one minute.
It's like one minute.
Yeah, the Gavin's was AM.
This is clearly P-M.
No, I wonder if they stopped on the same day.
Like I wonder if that was actually a minute apart.
There's no way a double A battery is.
That's constant.
No.
Consistent.
I'm blown away by that.
Me too.
It's quite the coincidence.
I like that when Jeff went to give the owner of Nunya, the slop o'clock, he excellently gave him a cookbook.
And then when I met him, we were still debating if we had any slop o'clock around.
So I said I would give him mine.
But then Jeff found an extra.
So thankfully, I still got my slop o'clock.
Yeah, that's awesome.
So how did he receive that, Jeff?
Was he really excited?
Oh, I haven't taken it to him yet because we haven't been back there.
But it is in the office.
Let's go today.
It's in the office.
It's been on the bit barrel for so long.
Well, the bit barrel just went through a bit of a transformation, so it's a...
Oh, wow.
You have a bit barrel update?
Bit barrel is now 100% complete.
It's done?
We got the drill bit in, which, Gab, I don't know, did you...
I think you took video of it, right?
I took video.
While you're talking, I can actually just trim out a section and post.
Yeah, yeah.
It's probably not an OSHA approved video.
But we got the...
When you say trim out a section post, do you mean now or in like three weeks and then tell me you're
sarcastic? Well, he's going to trim it now, but he's going to show it to you in three weeks.
Post for you, Andrew. It's a long clip, so I'm going to have to make it discordable.
Okay. I bought a drill bit. I just, it's hard to tell when you're buying stuff on Amazon. So I just
bought the biggest drill bit I could find for a metal drill bit. It looks like kind of a pyramid almost,
like a cylindrical pyramid. And, uh, it came in. It was fucking.
It weighed as much as the drill.
It was so fucking heavy.
And the neck on it was so thick.
I didn't know that it would fit into the drill casing, but it did.
It just barely fit.
And at this point, I was hoping Gavin would have the video ready because I don't know how much further I can vamp on the size of a drill bit.
It was so, it was smaller than a bread box, but still very big.
Oh, wow.
Nothing?
Okay.
I just don't want to help Gavin in this situation.
I just want him to...
No, it's still too big for this.
You can put it in slack.
What are you doing?
Unintended consequence is that
Gavin and I got absolutely
doused
in hot metal
shavings. What?
And I had to go home
and take all my clothes off and put them in the
washing machine and take a shower because I was covered
in metal slivers and it was
brutal. Luckily, I was, you know, I was wearing safety goggles
and you put metal slivers in a washing machine.
Is that okay?
Sure.
Yeah,
it's be fine.
We'll just want them to go.
Yeah,
they'll get pulled out
into the water
and then suck down a tube.
It probably would have been bad
if you won't pass
a magnet on the way home.
It might have been great.
Oh.
Yeah.
I'm going to hit play on this thing.
You guys ready?
Yeah, I'm ready.
Okay, here we go.
You're not live.
Three, two, one.
Yeah, I know.
It's all playing at the same time.
Oh, my God.
You didn't even like secure.
This is crazy.
Yeah.
What's up?
I secured it with my hands.
Yeah.
It, the drill looks like it's securing.
It's just, yeah, shaking left and right.
I bought some, I bought some, uh, I bought some, uh, sandpaper too, because we got some pretty
jagged edges on this.
Oh, it would be so sharp.
I'm going to, I'm going to sand down.
And I believe the, uh, I bought like a little mini, uh, leaf blower.
I think it came in yesterday.
so we are ready to go.
We just need to fill the bit barrel with bits.
Do we do that with Falcons?
I think we do it with Falcons.
Yeah, okay.
All right, we'll do our next Falcon event.
Maybe we'll be the getting together with the Falcons
and fight old bits, writing them down,
throwing them in the bit barrel, baby.
I thought you would have gone for a hole saw,
like a drill, like a normal drill bit
with like the ring around it.
Yeah.
I just Googled Best Metal Wholesaw,
and that's what they came up with.
Maybe it's different.
I know the one you've talked about before for wood,
but I've never used it for metal before,
so I don't know.
That's fair.
Maybe that just for wood.
I'd like to see you use a pickaxe next time.
Just go full swing,
create a big hole.
I'm down for that.
I think it would be good.
Anyway, I think the hole's big enough.
We'll find out.
And if it isn't, it's sort of awesome.
I sort of love if it isn't.
Yeah, then I can make it bigger.
Before we put the,
like, leaf blower in it
to, like, shoot the bit up to catch it and everything.
Did you get the metal shavings out
from inside of the barrel,
or are they still inside the barrel?
No, no, we cleaned it out.
Okay, good.
I'm just making sure.
I just didn't want someone to look down.
The thing pops up,
you get covered in metal shavings.
Yeah, we also didn't want to drag a thousand
or probably a couple thousand slivers into the house.
No, I appreciate it.
That's fantastic.
It's great.
Yeah, this is great.
Do we keep it over with like the suits?
Where are we put in the bit barrel?
Well, we have so much room now that we don't have the pinball machine
in the living room anymore.
You're putting it in the living room?
you think?
It was right in the middle
what the coffee table was.
Right in the middle.
I don't know.
We put it wherever you guys want.
It doesn't matter.
We'll put it everywhere by the suits.
Sure.
We'll figure it out.
What if it was?
Yeah, maybe it should be right in the middle.
I think it should go in the streaming room.
I think it's a great set, like set decoration piece on like an end table.
But whatever.
That's fine, too.
Oh, we could go on Jeff's new set.
Jeff, you have a new set?
It can go, it can go anywhere.
The break room.
We got that break room pretty much done.
Oh, that's exciting.
Andrew, have you not been rolling around recently?
You know, I tried to do it the other day, but my charge cable was too secure, and I typically
can just knock it off, but I was tethered to the wall.
I could not escape.
It's on a really weak magnet.
Usually you just drive away from it.
Yeah, typically I've been able to just go zipping on through, but however I was placed last
time I went, it would not let me detach.
I was trying to take a little peek.
Should we charge you on a table, so you just drive off the table and definitely unplug?
Oh, that could be good
Because there are new wires in there
And it's a little tricky
I'm having to figure out
How to get past the wires
Because the wires will tilt me
Somebody save me thankfully
Last time I hopped in
Was able to go around
I immediately tipped on some
heavier cables
That are now in that streaming room
Yeah, it's a bit of a mess
In the streaming room
But it'll all get tucked away
And finalized soon
I was there for about an hour
On my own the other day
And that's just pretty lonely
You didn't come to life or anything
Oh, you should have
Did you post?
I'll typically try to pop in
if I see someone's going to be there.
If you didn't share it, how would I know?
Would I just sense it?
I just got to be there.
Sometimes you just pop out.
That is true.
Yeah, I guess to just assume, though.
I got to scout soon.
I got to see what's going on at this office.
You know, between busy schedules, summer plans,
working on two shows and having a kid,
sometimes all I've got is a couple minutes.

Can we get into something that I don't...
I'm like 80% sure that you said, but 20% it might have been a dream.
Okay.
This is awesome.
This is real...
So, let's lock in, boys.
Did you say you have new cats?
I do have new cats.
You did say that.
I had a new episode.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I got new cats.
I've had cats.
New cats for like a month now.
And let me post some photos.
Little kittens?
Oh, no.
One is two.
One is six.
They were brothers.
They were bonded in the shelter.
So we got both of them at the same time.
Wow.
They're a little menaces.
It's become a problem.
One of them really likes watching birds on my phone,
but only when it's on top of me,
because it happened the first time, and I started laughing,
and I've become, like, a human D-box chair for this cat.
Not nearly as interesting unless it's on top of me,
and I'm, like, reacting in some way.
I can't imagine how D-Box would work for a video about,
for a video about birds.
That's great.
Yeah, it doesn't sync.
I just, I think the movement,
a little bit of movement is appreciated.
Here, let me post in the chat,
some photos of my cats.
Well, what are their names?
Marley and Calvin are my two cats.
Here we go.
Here's a photo.
Was that the names already?
No, they had terrible,
terrible original names.
Like Hitler and Eva Braun?
Not that bad.
It was like Sir Purrington and something
Like it was just
He took away his knighthood
Yeah I think I denighted him now I think about it
Good
Honestly good with a name like that
Oh my God
Some Marley and Calvin action
Two different cats
Oh damn look at them
Which is which
The gray one's Marley
The orange one is Calvin
Oh okay
Who's your favorite
You know it depends on the day
it really depends on the day they they are rambunctious i bought a thing for uh i have a patio door and
i bought like a little windowsill thing that they can hang on and they're constantly kicking
each other off of it so that's been fun um just uh rambunctious some rambunctious boys
but uh i've congratulations thank you you got them on purpose like it was a planned out thing
yeah it came together pretty quickly it it was
went very well, and they've just been little menaces.
They're obsessed with the bathroom for some reason, like our bathroom.
Have you tripped on either of them yet?
Oh, absolutely. I did. Yeah, 100%.
They're big in your feet cats.
I went to use the bathroom one night, and they were, I didn't realize they were both laying
between the toilet and the tub, and I partially stepped on one, and it was a whole chaotic thing.
It was a disaster.
But that's been one of the more entertaining aspects of my life outside of the show right now.
It's these little boys hanging out with these cats.
So exciting.
They're big treat, treat guys.
So it's been fun.
Giving them little snacks and, yeah.
Nick's a big treat guy too.
Nick loves a treat.
Oh, we should come up with like a churu for humans and give one to Nick.
Oh, a human churu?
Yeah.
Like a little tube of Nick food.
Yeah.
Nick, what kind of pastes, what kind of pastes and gels do you like to eat?
Ooh.
Oh, you know what?
What about like a sausage-filled gel?
Would you eat a sausage gel?
You went to food that isn't.
You went for a solid food.
Well, no, you can grind it down.
It's kind of a, it gives a bit when you're inside.
That's why it has the casing.
Oh.
Oh.
I sure there's got to be like all blended up with a liquid to
get it all. It's got to be able to, like, you've got to be able to squeeze it with your fingers
and squirt it out of the end. You couldn't have went with like a more pre, like a steak, like a high
end type of, you want with sausage? You want them to, you want to squirt a steak at him?
I would rather have like a steak squirt than a sausage squirt. I think they're both horrific.
I was hoping like he'd be like strawberry or something. I don't know. I had to do so. I didn't even
consider it as like a yogurt type thing. I was thinking like proteins. I didn't think about fruit at all.
I think because we're
I think Nick and I were in the mindset of like what animals
would eat in these tubes like what flavorings
are available to them. I'm thinking protein.
I mean I can certainly get in the lab. I can try and make you a sausage
churu. That sounds
so gross. I think you should.
I think Nick's conflicted because he likes the idea
of it but not by you. Right.
He likes the idea just not the Gavin.
Well I could I could just be the
idea foreman and I could oversee
someone making it if you don't want to
I just think you had an interesting factor
by being the one who's creating it.
Yeah?
A little bit of international flair.
Uh-huh.
It would be fucking crazy
if Truro announced they were making human tubes.
They should.
They might as well.
Like it's already a thing for like runners and stuff, right?
They have like those energy gels.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah.
Yeah, but not with me.
Right, right, right.
But that would be like their next step
because you could do a bunch of different
because there's like a bunch of different flavors for this one
where, like, he's like, oh, you know, what if he did, like, strawberry?
And it's like, oh, yeah, we can probably get pretty close to that.
I think that there's probably, like, a bunch of different flavors here.
Like, oh, there is a strawberry.
There's mango and apple cinnamon and chocolate or whatever.
So instead, what if, you know, saltis steak.
Yeah.
It is sort of surprising.
There isn't, like, a lays for cats.
Like, they just haven't, they make snack food for humans.
Why not?
I probably own a pet food company.
There's no cool ranch option?
Yeah.
Also, I was looking at energy gels and then there's this,
but I think it's for, like, what's that?
I think these gels are like, I think it's like airsoft,
but I can't tell.
I just assume it's like airsoft.
Usually it's a container.
Right, but imagine it's instead of airsoft,
it was like shooting delicious treats.
Or like our bacon bits.
We were going to make a bacon blaster.
Maybe that's it.
Blaster, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Nick, you like
bacon bits? Love them.
What if we just blasted a bunch of bacon into your mouth
as a treat? I mean, I'll take it.
Nick, how do you feel about paté?
I don't think I've ever had patte. Let's give it a shot.
Oh, hell. I think that's going to be my paste.
Might be the tube. That's going to be it.
What type of tube are you going to use? Are you going to make a tube?
Are you going to just repurpose some other tube?
I'll have to repurpose.
Uh, well, you can just get,
Use an old churroes.
Let's just get old churus.
I'm not going to rinse out as actual churice.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
We'll go.
We'll find old chiroos that a cat in use.
And we'll clean them out.
And we'll fill them up with pat-free dick.
You know what you should use?
I guess it'd be a little hard, but if you could use a grown tube.
Oh.
That'd be hard to squeeze, but I could potentially whip it into your mouth.
Yeah.
It's like Monster Hunter, the cat on the churu tube is the chef of the thing.
They made this meal for you.
Yeah, what if the groan is the mechanism that pushes the food out at him when you sling it?
It's just such a heavy, maybe we could get like a tungsten filler pellet thing, so it actually does push the meat out.
I could probably as Dilbot feed somebody who's based out of food, using a food snack.
Just put a spoon on the front.
Don't even need a spoon.
I could just put it next to the edge of a table
and I can drive over it.
Just fire it's a nice mouth.
It's fire ag.
It's launch.
Easy.
I can't believe you went sausage.
I also can't believe neither of us
thought of fruit or anything sweet.
Yeah.
Purely protein.
You know, tungsten is pretty cheap to buy by the gram.
I just looked it up.
Is that the heaviest metal tungsten thing?
No, it's just, it's not the heaviest,
but it's pretty easy to get and it's heavy.
It's very easy to get.
You can get a pure tungsten gram
for anywhere between $4 to $9 per pound
for scrap.
You can get a gram
No, I add it.
You can get a pound of tungsten
for $4 to $9.
Ignore the gram thing.
I was looking at two different charts on one.
So a kilogram would be expensive as shit.
Huh?
Okay.
Why even, why do we go down?
Why even pursue it, Gavin?
Like, why?
Speaking about food, there's something we probably should discuss and just lay down so that we don't hear about it anymore.
Yes.
We talked about our next food average thing starting on September 1st until next September 1st is hamburgers.
So we finished the hot dog one.
We're going to do hamburgers because I think it was 156 is the American average for hamburgers.
The question that I've seen the most from people is.
does a slider count as a hamburger?
Three sliders, one burger.
Easy.
What?
Three sliders equals one burger, easy.
I guess you always do get them in threes.
You always get them in threes.
If you order sliders at any place,
you're going to get three of them,
unless it's like White Castle
in which they only sell sliders.
But I think three is the equivalent to one burger
based on the restaurant averages.
I just think a slider,
I think a slider is a hamburger.
You're a fool,
Because imagine if you had a, you have served a plate of three tiny hot dogs.
I'm with Andrew.
If a slider was a burger, it'd be called a burger.
I think three sliders is about the size of a burger.
I don't want to overcomplicate this, but that makes sense to me.
If you order a hamburger off of the menu, you get one burger.
If you order sliders off of the menu, you get three sliders.
Also, we know that in the stats, they're not talking about sliders.
Yeah.
That's true.
That's true.
I'm also amazed by
I said that I would be okay with lamb
or chicken burgers and I was amazed by two things
one my wife texted me and said I was insane
for allowing either of those things
but also I found out a ton of people don't know what a chicken burger
is they think it's just like a chicken sandwich
on a hamburger bun no ground up
chicken right in a form of a patty
just like lamb just like hamburger just like impossible meat
it's all I that exists
yeah it's just a cultural I didn't make it
I didn't invent it yeah it exists all over the US
you can get a chicken burger
Pete Terry's has chicken burgers.
That's right.
Yep.
I don't like them.
You don't?
No, I'm not a big fan of ground-up chicken personally, but I know, but I accept that it exists.
Andrew, you're a big chicken guy.
Yeah, huge chicken guy.
Do you like the ground-up chicken patties?
No, I'd rather have some crunch chicken patty.
I don't mind a chicken sandwich.
Some crunch.
Yeah, well, when you get a chicken patty, like the bread, it can be crunchy.
He's thinking, he's talking like a fried chicken.
Oh.
Oh, you would default to roasted, wouldn't you?
Yeah.
No, grilled.
Grilled, whatever.
Not fried.
Why did you say that like you're looking down your nose at me, your unbreakable nose?
No, I kind of, it's not that I was looking down.
It's just like, of course you would pick the least joyful of the thing as far as the food goes.
You'd go with the plainest.
A grilled chicken sandwich really nice.
It's joyful.
I love a grilled chicken sandwich.
It can be very good, but that's not when I think of a chicken burger.
my mind goes to grill
or not grilled fried
I'm right with Andrew on this
you did pick the least enjoyable of the chicken
sandwich preparations
I think which is fine
totally fine it's still good but he's definitely
right I think that's what Meg
said that you default to also
is that version of that
when we talk to her about this she's like
oh yeah I'd hell yeah
156 absolutely she's like except that
Gavin never once eat hamburgers and I said my
small wife is the same way she never
wants to go get a hamburger. So my numbers are going to be skewed. It's going to be tough.
You posted a hamburger, Eric, recently, being like, hey, this doesn't count yet, but I'm having
a hamburger. Yeah, I went to, yeah, top notch. Yeah, let people know. I was on my second hamburger
at the same time that you posted that, and I didn't react to it. But I was, I was eating my second
one. Hell yeah. I was ready. So, so Nick and me have the clock sink in sync, and you have
the burgers right now. Yeah, we have the burger sing. That's good. Yeah.
So we've determined, we've determined three sliders is equivalent to one hamburger.
Yep.
That's where we stand on this.
Boom, done.
Got it.
Easy.
Just wanted to let everyone know.
Now we're good.
But also chicken burger, ground chicken, ground lamb, ground beef, like that thing, that's
going to be a burger also.
I understand that ground beef is the default, but the name is hamburger and there ain't
no ham in it either.
So I don't know that we can be that pedantic.
As long as it's a ground up meat and it's called a ham, it's called a, it's called a
burger on a menu, then I should count.
Now, if someone orders like 12 sliders for the table and you have two, are you rounding
up or are you just not counting it?
You don't count it.
You didn't have three sliders.
Okay, good, good to know.
If I have 40% of a hamburger, I'm not going to count that I had 40% of a hamburger.
I'm not going to, like, write that down on a card and put it in my wallet.
So if I have 60% of a hamburger three months later, I can remember and combine the total.
I mean, what you forget, obviously is that there's a spirit to this thing.
and it's important to keep in mind.
I play.
I have a game we can play that we talked about before.
Not here.
We did a sausage talk that will be out by this point,
that this comes out.
No, the sausage talk will be out tomorrow.
Okay, well, the sausage talk will be out tomorrow.
In that, we talk about a variety of things.
One of the things was a game that I initially misinterpreted
because of the naming structure of it,
where I thought that I would have to ask questions to you guys
and you would have to do research
and get back to me on them.
I have compiled some questions
if we want to give this a try.
We will be doing back-to-backs today,
so the next episode I will not get an answer,
but the episode after that,
we can have a conclusion.
Do we want to play?
Andrew's questions?
Yeah.
Is that the name of the game is Andrew's questions?
Let's do Andrews questions.
We can call that.
It sounds like it should be called Andrew's homework
because you're just giving us homework.
Well, it was the game that was pitched to me.
What was the name of the game
that was explained originally before we came up with the different name for it was the original
name of that game. Does anyone remember? I don't remember. It might have been called Andrew's
questions. It may have been Andrew's questions. Yeah, no, I'm ready. I was just giving you our time.
That's fair. Okay. We'll go in an egg order. So Eric, you're first. I've written these questions
one through four, pick a number and I will sign you a question. These are all things that I'm genuinely
curious. Hold on a second. You said we're going in an egg order and then you skipped Nick?
That's, yeah, you know what?
Listen, I'm having a morning, I'm having a morning at a terrible sleep.
Nick, your first.
All right.
I'm going to go with number four.
Number four, my fourth question is, who invented minigolf and when slash where did it happen?
I don't understand the game.
Now, what the fuck are you doing?
What is this?
These are questions I have.
But we all heard it.
Yeah.
Yeah, but Nick is.
going to go get the answer and come back
and report to Andrew. What did what was
the game Gavin? No, okay
this is where you this is the confusion
you this is not the game that you pitch to me
this was a game
this was what I interpreted
the game as originally that we had
to clarify. So
we're playing like Andrew's goof world's
questions. This is Andrew's
Grooferworld questions. This is
Andrew's homework. This is Andrew's homework.
It is but I want to know the
thanks, these questions. Jeff, this makes sense, right? You were in the same meetings I was in,
the same call. The sausage talk. People listen, they'll get this. I'm following along, Andrew.
It's basically Andrew misinterpreted a pitch that we gave him in Sausage Talk. He misinterpreted
the pitch to be this essentially when it's nothing like it. No. But that's okay. I don't, we don't
need to get into what that other pitch was because it'll be in Sausage Talk tomorrow. This is just how
Andrew initially heard the pitch
and was confused about it. We cleared it up
in the moment, but Andrew, something
stuck with Andrew, he liked it. So then he
reformed it into, I guess
the exact same thing that he initially
thought it was and then presented it to us today as
a new game, to which I immediately
clocked as Andrews giving us homework,
which is what it is.
But that's fine. I'm
interested.
Eric, pick a number. All right.
One.
My question for you.
Get back to me on.
Do the geese have anything to do with gooseberries?
Got it.
Yeah.
I'm way happier with my question.
Jeff, pick a number.
Is three available?
Two or three.
Yeah, I'll take three.
Who invented the peanut butter jelly sandwich,
and what type of jelly did they use?
Curious about the peanut butter and jelly.
When did it come about?
I assume it's an old sandwich,
but because of the high five,
I don't feel like I know when anything was made anymore.
Good point.
High five was like, what, 70s?
something,
1973?
97, I believe.
Okay.
Who invented
the peanut butter
and jelly sandwich
and what jelly
did they use?
What brand of peanut butter?
When was it?
That's what I've written down.
Right.
We'll get back to you.
That's even more detailed
than I thought.
Gavin,
I guess I shouldn't do
an egg every time
because then you never get the
pick.
Or maybe I'll just add
an additional question.
Number two is yours.
He said five.
It's not even on there.
This is fucking great.
Oh, wait.
No, I do have a five.
I didn't scroll.
You have a pick between
two or five.
Hey, oh, Mary, paid up.
Damn you?
This sucks.
Yeah, I might have picked five if I'd known those.
Me too.
Well, let's see what this question is.
We can determine if we're mad.
Yeah.
You don't want five.
Gavin, do you want five?
Dude, do you want five?
Yeah, I said five.
Okay.
What came first, the waffle or the pancake?
I'm assuming it's the pancake.
That's a good one.
But I just feel like there's more detail in a waffle.
Like, why did the waffle get made?
Now, do I need to just provide you the answer
or do you want to show my workings?
No, you don't need to show your workings.
I'll trust you.
Oh, wow.
I'm going to just come back in a couple of episodes
and say the word waffle or pancake
and my homework's done.
Absolutely.
Okay, I'll make a note in a couple of hours.
Do 69 will say answers to Andrew's homework.
I appreciate that.
I'm a little upset that two wasn't picked.
But that's fine.
We could do two as a group.
A group?
Oh, group project.
Oh, Eric's that.
frickin nerd at school.
You lost the extra home.
My number two.
Excuse me, teacher.
Me thinks you did not assign us homework.
Once again, this is the
high five problem for me.
Was Cliffhanger the movie
called that because of the term
or did it create it?
If not, where did cliffhanger come from?
The term.
The meaning.
So you're asking if the movie
Cliffhanger invented the term
cliffhanger?
Yeah, because it's a movie
about hanging off of cliffs.
I actually know the answer.
to this. It was an episode of So All right, the sister podcast of something, all right.
Wow. It's, uh, the term, well, the term cliffhanger has been around for a very long time.
It was very, the cliffhanger books were very popular in the 1800s.
Cliffhanger, what is the cliffhanger book? Oh, just like the concept of that, like, it's left
on a cliffing? Yeah. And then you have to wait for the new book to come out, sequel or whatever.
Did the movie speed come up with the concept of speed or did it exist before? I think it existed before.
that's a different thing
you say it like it's it's a ridiculous
concept but cliffhanger is a word
think about like Stan how the term
Stan exists because of the song and it represents
sort of what the song is about
there are things in culture you think the term
cliffhanger you think the term cliffhanger
didn't exist before 1993 is what you're saying
the high five came out in 1977 I don't know what to think
I really see an eye to eye with Andrew today
he's got a great point there
I would assume way before Eric
but in the world of the high five I just don't know
yeah nothing can be so in a world where the beastie boys
created the term mullet
what are we dealing with
I really like the idea of there being a brand of books
called cliffhanger and they all end in cliffhangers
and people just being upset about it
why do I keep buying these
nothing's ever resolved
it's just about a guy named
Cliff Hanger in his adventures
and they all
end very neatly
succinct endings
Cliff Hanging is such a good pen name
Cliff Hanger. You know there's a dude out there named
Cliff Hanger too
I'm imagining him like
he's like flying planes he's stopping
he's like an action hero
Cliff Hanger
I don't have LinkedIn and I don't
even want to go to the website because I'll
somehow end up with 400 emails about it
but I bet there's a dude named Cliff Hanger
who works in a like, I don't know,
accounting somewhere in the Midwest.
Clif Hanger LinkedIn.
Let's see.
Clif Hanger.
20 plus Clif Hanger profiles.
The top one for me,
he's an award-winning producer,
TV commercials, music videos,
movie obsessed.
Cliff Hanger.
I bet that's a pin name for him, for sure.
Yeah, that's not a real name for it.
Well, the next one is chief information officer at Google.
Now, that guy could be called Cliff.
He's a pretty serious looking fella.
He's a pretty serious cliff.

Cliff, always short for Clifford?
Clifford Hanger.
Clifford Hanger.
The junior.
What else could it be short fuck?
Cliffing.
Cliff Row?
Cliff, uh, cliff, uh, Cliff, uh, Cliffy, uh, Cliffy B-hanger.
Cliffy D-Hanger.
Oh.
I think it's always Clifford.
I don't think there's any other variation of it.
Clifton.
Oh, Clifton.
Clifton.
Clifton.
What's the worst shortened name, name?
Like, what do you mean by the worst?
Like, you know, it's like, like, like, Dick is
Richard.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And it's like, that doesn't make any fucking sense.
Like, why are you calling them that?
Like, John can be Jack or the other way around.
Yeah, right?
That never made sense.
Nuh.
You know what's a weird one is I know several people
that are named James that just don't want to go by it
and instead go by Jake, and that's not a shortened version of James.
No, not at all.
They just are disassociative of James.
Especially when you're, when you're walking right past Jim and Jimmy.
Mm-hmm.
I always hated when people truncate Michael down to just Bernie.
Like,
I mean, I get it, but
That's pretty funny.
That's pretty good.
Yeah, Robert to Bob is a weird one, too.
I think like, I think Hank for Henry.
Robert to Bobby, I think, is weird.
Even weird.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I always as a kid thought Bob was such a funny name.
I remember being really gutted that I didn't know a real one.
Bob is a funny name.
Like if...
It's a fun word.
If I had to come up with a pretend name, it would always be Bob.
Well, that's not true because you have like four pretend names and none of them are Bob.
Like, Errol and Stewart came a lot later.
Bob was when I was in, like, primary school.
What would Bob's last name be?
Slob.
Slob.
I never got that.
Bob is?
Bobbawments
What the
What the fuck?
He writes cliffhanger books
Polly is
What?
This doesn't make any sense.
Polly is a nickname short for Mary.
That
What?
It's longer.
Huh.
Hmm.
Polly is a variant of Molly
which is from Mary.
So Polly is from Mary.
That doesn't make any sense.
what the fuck it's long that's too long i was always jealous of the robert the bobby thing as
andrew because like that that's a fun variation on what the name can be where i just lose letters
i just literally get shorter you just take away my first two that's my shortened name well you
could i mean you could add to the end of drew druin flip it around oh droopy
Yeah, I'm pumped
by droopy.
Droopy, that's on the,
that's on the 2026 nickname list for me.
Troopy.
Do you think Eric used to be,
like Eric used to be short for something,
but the longer thing,
we just forgot the time?
I bet that Eric came from like people
saying Aaron, but mishearing it.
You think so?
You don't think it was like,
Eric,
Eric Kindelon or Ericinder, no good.
Oh, I bet it's,
I bet it's something.
like Erikson or something stupid like that.
Oh, maybe. Yeah. You know what I mean?
Eric, Eric DeBootfucker or whatever.
I'm pretty sure that's where Jeff comes from, right?
Jeffrey. Jeff is short for Jeffrey. Jeffrey debootfucker.
That's my understanding. Yeah. I do see what you're saying, Jeff.
Of Eric being longer. I imagine Eric's long name, he's like one of the characters taking an oath
in Lord of the Rings. Like, that's the type of.
long name I'm envisioning.
Like Eric
Erikonian or something like that.
Mm, Erikonian.
Yeah, I just thought that idea of putting an E on the end of Eric.
Eric E.
Oh, I never, I don't think I've ever considered that.
ERIS.
It would be ERIS.
That's crazy.
Oh, it's a place in Sicily.
Oh.
Interesting.
Oh, there you go.
I wonder you like Mafia, the old country.
Back to your roots.
oh yeah so what was the time to kill
what did the time to kill end up being for
mafia the old country was two hours something i think
two hours and 20 minutes i believe two hours 20 minutes yeah
you're not familiar with what we're talking about uh on our friday vods that we do
every friday at four from four p.m. central time to 5.01 p.m. central time
the best time of the week over a twitch.tv slash the regulation pod
we do some sort of a fun stream last friday we streamed
mafia the old country where for two hours we had three practice knife fights we did good game i
finished it last night had a lot of fun with it ultimately long time before you kill anything in
that game though two hours long time before anything happens i do appreciate though that they make it a
moment it's like oh fuck i'm gonna have to kill someone now okay well like it's a it's a heavy weight
of a kill do you have to decide on it's a little yeah it's like it's a thing that your character
is a little bit uneasy about uh initially you have to you have to kill your own
father. I know. I think he's already
dead. I mean, he sold you into
slavery, essentially. So I don't
think you have a lot of conflict
about killing him. Yeah, if that were
an element. Maybe that'll be the DLC. Maybe
we'll go back. Mafia, the older
country.
Mafia, the old country. Daddy's
home.
Do you
get a strike for that video, by the way, Andrew?
No. Why would I get a strike?
Well, you didn't upload the video.
Oh, because it corrupted.
file corrupted.
Well, that's the reason you didn't upload the video, but...
Yeah, I don't think I get a strike.
The effort was there.
I tried.
It just never existed.
Like actual corrupted or like our historical version of corrupt.
Oh.
And it was not in my library.
There was no file for it.
It was just gone.
Mm, is that corrupted?
Okay, well, what would you call it?
So I can just use your terminology going forward.
What would you like me to call it?
That I'm missing?
Missing?
Well, I feel like if you have a corrupted,
file, you have a file that's corrupted.
What?
I get that I didn't add
anything to it. But let me just
let me follow your thread though.
So if it was missing, that would
imply that it is still
findable. It's just somewhere.
So what you're saying is that the file
exists and is usable, but my
computer has put it in a place that
is unlocatable. Well, a file
can be gone, like deleted, but
still on your hard drive.
Okay.
Like it as a temporary file somewhere or like a...
Unlinked from the...
But for a thing to be missing, doesn't it need to be retrievable?
That's what I'm saying.
But it's not.
Like if your fire was there and then you ran like data recovery, it could potentially be pulled out of deletion.
But if you didn't ever press record, it was... I assumed never that.
No, I recorded the whole thing.
Did you, by any chance, run data recovery?
I did, yeah.
I hold...
I held old F-469.
and ran it flawlessly.
You make it sound like it's a fake thing.
Oh, I ran, listen, I ran all the data recovery you need.
They said, do you want more data recovery?
And I said, Gavin, we want more.
So yes.
More data recovery, please.
Gavin, I don't know.
I don't know if he's taking the data recovery very seriously, man.
Oh, I take the...
I've got to write a list of things that annoy, Andrew.
There's data?
Oh, I'm not annoyed.
Grilled chicken.
He's definitely in wood.
Here, here's my file.
Oh, it's too powerful.
That makes sense.
Yeah.
I'll send my file to you, Gavin, and you can tell me if it's corrupted or missing or whatever.
So you do have a file, then.
You said no before.
Oh, I can't even upload on Slack.
I didn't think I did.
Sometimes Elgado does a thing where it makes a folder, but there's no files in it,
where this one, it made a folder and it made files, but it's just not a, it's like an MP4 that's
blank.
Zero kilobytes.
17.
17 gigabytes.
Yeah.
Oh, that's the file.
What?
That's the...
You've got it.
You've probably...
Nick can fix that.
It's probably...
It's probably...
You can fix that.
Nick dropped a folder so fast
it made my head smith.
Drop everything in that folder in there,
not just the MP4.
Drop the other container files and stuff too.
I want a sec.
If this, if this solved it, that's crazy.
We go through here, drop it in.
And they're loading, it's three files.
It's gonna upload for a little bit.
Okay.
First one failed.
We also need to get more space on the regulation Gmail account.
First one fail.
Yeah, I've, I'm putting all the, I'm backing up the whole Google Drive right now.
Okay, well no, it's the email.
account specifically. The email, the regulation pod email only has 15 gigabytes space. And it's
can we up, up it? Yeah, absolutely. Just somebody, I don't have that info to do it. So,
I'm saying, you can delete, we can delete everything after I finish this backup. But it's Eric's
uploads are on it. Eric's uploads. Whenever you upload anything, it applies to the regulation pod
account. What the fuck? And I've been dealing with this quietly for months. I just delete things
that have been uploaded to keep it below 15 gigabytes?
What?
I'm logged in as me.
How is it uploading?
I don't know, but it's like all of your file.
It's all, whenever we record anything.
Wait, so you've been deleting stuff before the backup?
What have you deleted?
I've been whatever he did.
I don't know.
Whatever he's there.
Oh, oh, oh, no.
Are you serious?
You've just been deleting random stuff?
Once it's uploaded, it's good to go.
It's ready.
to launch. It's people are seeing. We have, we have uncovered something here that I don't think
we were ready to uncover. Gavin, if you need the video, it's on YouTube. You just pull it from
YouTube to download it. There's going to be. He's going to kill him. You should not be able to do
anything. Let me write in my notes, things that annoy Gavin. Deleting our files, pretty annoying.
It's quite annoying when that happens. Well, at least Eric has all his files backed up because
everybody backs up all their files.
No, I don't. I don't keep my shit. I back up the files,
you fool. If you delete them before I back
them up, how am I backing them up?
Well, I keep all my stuff locally too.
Yeah, me too. You yell at me to
save all my stuff locally all the time.
So I just assume that Eric also was saving
all stuff locally. You're doing a lot
of assumptions. I am. So wait, Eric,
you also delete your versions?
Yeah, I don't want my files. I don't want those.
They go into
this Google Drive.
Yeah, but then someone else
is deleting them.
The onion continues to peel.
Listen, if you asked me what the fail point was,
I wouldn't have guessed Andrew goes in
and just delete some sometimes.
We never know what he's doing.
He just deleted shit.
It's so easy to just have an external hard drive
that you can dump to at home
just in case of Andrew
or any other kind of internet shenanigans.
Company rule, company rule, right?
Don't delete something
until it's backed up.
How about that?
It's just a bog standard blanket.
I don't even think that it used to be said.
I think maybe we just shouldn't do that.
I think it's so fascinating that you're a virtual hoarder.
I think maybe, I think it needs to be said
because Andrew's just deleting stuff.
That's been uploaded and it's done.
It's fine.
Also, backup locally too.
Yeah.
It's not hard.
I wonder how much stuff is gone.
No more than 15 gigs at a time.
I never would have guessed.
Why were you dealing with this quietly
for months.
Why were you uploading
on the email account?
That's what I'm saying?
I'm not.
I'm logged in as me.
I don't know why it would hit as regulation.
It defaults to it when you go to Google Drive.
What?
It defaults to what?
I went to upload something from your desk in the office the other day
and when you click Google Drive,
it defaults to the regulation pod login instead of yours.
It just means you signed into that account before your actual account.
Yes.
So it just defaults to the...
That's crazy.
the preferred one is the preferred yeah it's my preferred one that's what i would call it it seems to be
yeah yeah yeah it's my number one preferred one why were you dealing with this quiet lander why didn't
you just say something it didn't seem like that big of a deal generally speaking is
release a video delete a video release a video delete a video it might be my favorite episode we've ever
made this is fantastic why are we going to need your uh i don't know audio for a let's watch from
a year and a half ago.
Gavin, any thoughts?
Yeah, Gavin.
Why don't we get rid of libraries too,
all right?
Stop, that book already got read.
Bird every copy.
But we're not,
I'm not getting rid of libraries.
I'm just,
it's accessible.
You're just ripping the pages out.
All of the content is still
viewable.
But those pages are all on YouTube.
All of them are visible,
viewable things.
We don't need the book.
We've got a picture of the,
It's not a picture of the book.
It is the book.
We just have the final versions, Gavin.
We're just missing the editor's notes.
I don't understand what the big deals.
The video exists.
You're trying to save the video for the video, but we just have the video.
Correct. That is indeed quite a short-sighted approach today.
But we just have the video.
Good.
So why do we need the video of the not video when we have the video?
I feel like we've been here.
We've done this.
I was just asking.
Had this conversation.
Asking questions about video.
Also annoy Gavin.
Okay.
Let me.
Section 2.
Make a note to keep Andrew in read only mode.
So are we all backed up?
Because I need to delete a bunch from my personal drive
because I'm almost full at two terabytes.
I will have the back.
done before the end
of the day. Okay. So
you say you're going to have our backup done
by the end of the day. That means I can delete anything on my
Google Drive after... Yeah, I mean, let me
double check it all first. Let me give the go ahead.
Yeah, no worries. Just give us the go ahead
because I'm in the similar boat to Andrew. I need to
delete a bunch of shit.
That I have backed up locally.
But we don't delete let's play stuff
that hasn't come out yet, right? No, of course
not. Okay. You just said delete everything.
So I'm just clarified.
Good episode. Thanks, Andrew.
I won't be deleting Eric's audio fall for this
for two weeks, three weeks?
Yeah, Gavin, you got about two or three weeks to figure it out.
Have you guys done your list for the 20 best video games of all time yet?
I sure have. I can't wait. No, not yet.
Not yet. I'm still working on my.
I was just looking up on Metacritic, the highest rated video games of all time.
Do you guys, I wonder if between the four of you, you could guess
any of the top three
rated video games of all time.
Tetris? Tetris? No.
Pacman?
No.
These are Metascore ratings, right?
Baldersgate 3.
No. They're all older.
They're all older?
Oh, uh, nothing past 2010.
Oh, okay.
Canaan Lynch.
Yeah, they nailed it.
It was Army of Army of two,
Canaan Lynch, and...
Army of two, too.
or three army of tooth
is crazy
that's that's a co-op series
we could hit up
the internet
needs more army of two
anyway
according to Metacritic
the top three
video games of all time
are legend of Zelda
Aquarina of Time
is number one
number two is sole caliber
that's the one that blew me away
and then number three is GTA 4
yeah
I don't play two of this
I mean what a weird list
yeah
just going off
That a score, 99, 98.
Below that, it's all Super Mario
Galaxy shit. Yeah. That makes sense.
It's a fucking Super Mario Galaxy
bullshit on the...
Fucking suspenders, red hat.
Nonsense. Definitely how I feel about it, yeah.
It's a mushroom eating fool.
Jeff, we should...
We did a co-op series, didn't we?
Yeah, we did. We started... Gavin
and I started our own co-op series.
That's great. It was delightful.
Much like the world needed more army of two content.
It also needed more Portal 2 content.
Great game.
So that's what we started playing.
That's awesome.
And we were talking about it.
We're playing Portal 2 in 2025.
Might as well be the first time I've ever seen the game.
I have zero memory of any of it.
Really?
Yeah.
That's great.
Yeah, I didn't remember anything.
We were discussing that we could probably do the series again in about five or six years
and it would be like playing it for the first time again.
Oh, for sure.
Yeah.
Puzzle games especially, I feel like,
I forget after a year.
Maybe we should track our
declining IQ by doing it every five years.
That's a good way to see how
dumb we're getting.
You guys killed anything yet in that game?
Do I need to update the time to kill list?
Oh, the time to kill is pretty quick, I think.
Oh, yeah, I found lots of ways to kill Gavin.
Don't worry.
We have to do two of these today.
Should we wrap this one up?
Start into the next one?
I guess we probably should.
What an episode, Gavin?
You want to take us out since your episode?
Yeah, since this was a Gavin episode,
you want to, you want to write us off into the sunset?
Thanks for listening to episode 67 of the Regulation Podcast.
Feel free to check us out on Patreon.
Oh, I've done it to myself.
Although I full circle came a bit my own ass on with it.
Patreon, with Regulation Pot on Patreon.
Do you want me to delete that for you?
I can delete it for you if you want.
That hasn't been backed up there.
If you could go back in time and delete it.
before I flubbed it.
Okay, here we go.
All right, here we go.
Oh, Nick, we're in the time machine.
Whoa, oh, oh, oh,
oh, everything we have to fix Gavin's flub.
He's got one more.
Thank you, Lee, Trayton,
Oh, the machine broke.
We're stuck.
Goodbye.
Thank you.
