Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello and welcome to another episode of the Regulation Podcast. My name is Jeff Ramsey with me, as always, Andrew Patton, Eric Baddor, Nick Schwartz, Gavin Free. This is episode 82. Hello. Hello. How's everybody doing? I'm great. How are you, Jeff?
Starting point is 00:00:18 I'm good. I was trying to come up with a little enthusiasm to kind of lift this up. I could tell it. I felt like the mood in the pleasantries was a little, not bad, just a little low energy. And so I'm, I'm trying to. try to raise it up right now. And also, Andrew, you said you had a, this is going to be an Andrew episode, you had a ton you wanted to get to.
Starting point is 00:00:36 I sure do. What's the most, uh, ridiculous piece of knowledge that you have that is useless? Do you have anything that comes to mind that is, uh, just completely pointless that you know that probably nobody else does? Because I had a, a unique experience over the weekend of S&L brought McGruber back for a sketch. and at the end of the sketch the building they're in explodes
Starting point is 00:01:03 and I looked at that and I went that is the same explosion that killed Exender Cage in the first triple X movie as a bonus feature and I saw other people point out that that is also I guess
Starting point is 00:01:17 the exterior building they use for shots of Patty's Pub which is cool now in my mind like lore wise Zander Cage lives above Patty's Pub which is awesome but I think I'm probably the only person on the planet that looked at that and went,
Starting point is 00:01:31 oh yeah, that was a bonus feature on the Triple X DVD post. Sane in the state, not sane, Jesus, state of the union coming out. It was very weird. I was thinking about in general, like, it was kind of a weird time where they tried to resell the Triple X DVD by putting a big sticker on it that this one contains the death of Xander Cage, because I guess they wanted to explain why Ice Cube was in the sequel. So they just blew up a building?
Starting point is 00:01:57 it's so much worse than that it is like four minutes long and they have a vin diesel standing like it's so clearly not vin diesel and it's him and this woman in a convertible and uh they drive somewhere and then zander cage gets suspicious he sees some like reflections and he's like oh i got to go investigate that so he goes and he checks and turns out to just be a homeless guy and then bad guys show up and make it look like they drag the lady into his apart and he looks at the coat and they pulled the line the things I'm going to do for my country from the movie and just place it over there you never see the front of Vin Diesel's face it's all back shots and then he runs upstairs and the building explodes and then you see the chunk of the back of his face or the head with the triple X tattoo hit the pavement it's four minutes long it's so stupid it's a bonus feature it's horrendous in every way but I recognize the explosion immediately, and I felt ashamed to myself. So I was curious if you guys have ever had a specific piece of completely useless knowledge. I'd definitely have something. I'd love to know what Vin Diesel thinks about that scene, though. Oh, oh, he probably hates it. He seems like a guy with a big ego probably wasn't a fan. It felt kind of personal in a weird way. It sounds personal, which got me wondering, why didn't he reprise his role? Was a contract dispute? Did he just not want were they looking to save money?
Starting point is 00:03:27 Isn't it so weird that he did that twice with Fast and Furious and Triple? Like both of them the sequel, he did not come back for. And then eventually did come back. He has to sulk a couple out first and then he'll come back. Yeah, it's true. He did the same thing with Iron Giant as well,
Starting point is 00:03:45 I think that's why there's no sequel. I meant that up. He's still doing it. He's still doing it. What if we re-released episode 16 with four minutes of bonus content. Can it be the death of Xander Cage?
Starting point is 00:04:00 Yeah, what would the four minutes be, I guess? Eric gets killed. Ooh. I'm fine. I mean, that's fine. Let's just get it over with. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:04:13 Before we kill Eric, does anybody else have any specific knowledge that you think you're unique in having? Yeah, before I die, please know that the useless fact that I know is that three dogs survive the Titanic. Whoa! Really?
Starting point is 00:04:27 Yeah. Only three. Three dogs. That's amazing. I think it would be so funny for Eric to be in a scenario where he's like tied to a chair. There's like three dudes pacing around him and he's just like, guys, hurry this up.
Starting point is 00:04:40 Come on. Like, can we get this over? Let's just kill me and get this. It's either we're doing this or let me go because I got places to be. There's things going on. So either like, let's just get on the other side of this. But before, before, they just put a gun. right to my head, and then right before they pull the trigger, I say,
Starting point is 00:04:58 wait, wait, wait, three dogs survived the Titanic. Those are my last four years. I can build a early 90s Milwaukee Bansaw from parts with my eyes closed, probably still at this day. Whoa. I don't imagine there's a lot of people that have the knowledge of that specific, like 91 to 93 Milwaukee Bandsaw. like I do, but I used to make them all the time
Starting point is 00:05:27 at the tool repair shop out of spare parts. Probably not a lot of that knowledge left. And I imagine the event's changed tremendously since then. I know that if you move a paintball gun like an inch closer, the paintball will hit the target like 100 microseconds sooner. So, that is 10 inches.
Starting point is 00:05:51 I mean, it's useful for you. Probably not more. There's so many. people that play bar trivia, they're going to kill it next time now. They're set. Also, it's very specific to my paintball gun and the amount of gas that was in it that day. Can I ask you a question, Gav? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:07 What's a microsecond? It's a unit of time. There's a thousand microseconds in a millisecond. Wow. Wow. A thousand micro, how many, how many microseconds were in a second? Million? Is that right?
Starting point is 00:06:27 That's what I was asking you. That's right. It's a millionth of a second. Yeah. So a microsecond is a millionth of a second. Yeah. And then you go down to Nano and Pico. Yeah, I'd heard of, I'd heard of Nano and Mila, but never micro.
Starting point is 00:06:42 Or Pico, for that matter. Yeah, Micro is written like that weird, that funny looking you with the tail on it. I'll take your word for it. Yeah. My useless knowledge. Did you learn this from which video was that that you learned this on?
Starting point is 00:06:57 Was this where they were trying to like collide the paintballs? Yeah, we're trying to collide three in the same space and it took us like three months to do it. So when did slow-mo guys start? What was these things? The year was 2010.
Starting point is 00:07:12 Yeah, that one, the second one. That's awesome. That's so cool. Very cool. Microseconds. Hey, I did something about a week ago now and we need to do it
Starting point is 00:07:26 I sat down and I watched Bingo the movie a movie that's bounced around I talked about it in our periphery I talked about it I told this story in the break show that I was playing video games with Andrew and I told him I watched it and he was like
Starting point is 00:07:40 okay and I was like you know the thing and he's like yeah whatever and I was like no the moot we opened the cards and he was like oh I thought I thought you were saying you watched somebody play bingo and I'm like why the fuck would I watch somebody play bingo? Bingo. I do
Starting point is 00:07:53 do that. Well, true. But I don't think I would come in. If I would come in and I'd go, I wouldn't come in and go, hey, guess what I just did? I just watched Bingo.
Starting point is 00:08:03 I would come in and go, hey, I just played Bingo with my wife and her friends. You know? That's fair. Here's, okay. Well, there are two things. One, I've decidedly not been watching Bingo
Starting point is 00:08:15 because I thought we're waiting for like a group watch. Yeah, I thought it was a group watch. So I had not been. brought it up or made it, which hasn't been discussed in years. I took matters into my own hands and watched it without you. That's totally fine. That's just why
Starting point is 00:08:29 my brain went bingo. I don't think it would be the movie. Jeff loves bingo. Probably he's watching some bingo. And it would be something you'd come in with a little bit of like, I'm having a good day. I saw some bad while I was doing some sloppy joes.
Starting point is 00:08:45 Have they ever televised bingo? Yes. You can just watch people play bingo. Uh, I don't know about people, but definitely games, just like the, the drawing of the ballpark. I know that they, uh, they, people on TikTok just show rippers, like ladies or dudes just doing rippers over and over again on TikTok, which is insane. Your wife's really into rippers, Gavin. But anyway, bingo the movie, we should absolutely do a watch-along for it. It is, and it is the most unhinged family-friendly movie I think I've ever seen in my entire life.
Starting point is 00:09:21 genuinely amazed at the violence in this film for a family-friendly dog movie. I want to watch that. There's some good bad dog movies out there. There's one. I don't remember the name of it right now. But I believe it's essentially the plot of Home Alone and one of the burglars is Joey Diaz. And it looks... The comedian?
Starting point is 00:09:43 Yes, the comedian. I think he's in like the Joe Pesci role. And I don't remember what it's called. It's something that I don't think ever even. got released on like DVD or VHS like it was a home a bone what home alone? I don't know that somebody said home of bone yeah yeah that's pretty good is this dog movie I like that bone alone some good bonalize a different movie we also need to watch virtual weapon at some point yes we did oh yeah yeah is I keep hearing about it the dog who saved
Starting point is 00:10:18 Christmas that sounds right It has Dean Cain and Joey D. I'm out. Well, this, yeah, sorry. Not a big Dean Cain fan these days. You were a huge Dean Cain fan before. Wait, is he a good guy or is he a bad guy? Is the dog going to attack Dean Cain?
Starting point is 00:10:38 Or is it like Dean Cain the... I... Is the dog here legally? Dean Cain would make sure. He appears... Dean Cain appears to be a bad guy. I would guess. Okay, well, I'm back in.
Starting point is 00:10:50 I'm back on board. All right, as long as he gets his just desserts. Yeah. There you have a dog. Dean Kane somehow tricked somebody into being the co-lead and a Denzel Washington movie. And even Denzel couldn't carry him. It's bad. It's one of the worst Denzel movies because of Dean Kane.
Starting point is 00:11:10 It's a terrible. It's called Out of Time. Huh. Should we do like a Falcon event or something where we do a Doggo double feature and we watch the Doggy's Christmas in Bingah? I'm listen that sounds great to me I don't know where we'd find a dog saves Christmas but that sounds to look for it yeah we'll find it we'll find it I had a insane coincidence
Starting point is 00:11:33 that was like just absurd in it occurring but also was like the least impactful thing that could happen that makes that it's a weird balance of wow that's crazy that all of this lined up the way it did but also like doesn't really change the world or make any impact in any way months ago I bought a special collection Joan Soda did a branded release
Starting point is 00:12:01 that I thought was cool where they did a creola bundle where the box of soda looks like a giant crayon box Oh, that's cute and all the sodas are like different colors of the crayons and I thought that's cool I proved to that in like August it finally arrived after months
Starting point is 00:12:21 and it was just kind of in my office for a while then I eventually decided randomly one evening recently to crack it open but before that I started watching a Denzel movie because I've been watching as established on this show going through watching all his movies and the one I was watching that evening was the little thing starring Jared Leto and Rami Mollick
Starting point is 00:12:43 not good it's a bad one but I was like halfway through and then I decided I'll have dinner I thought oh if I'm having dinner I'll crack open a soda so I grabbed just a random there's like 12 of them in the box I just pulled one out enjoyed it delicious
Starting point is 00:13:00 then I noticed there was text on the bottom of the bottle cap and I looked at it and the little word on it said enjoy the little things which coincidentally was the same movie that I was going back to you to watch
Starting point is 00:13:15 is that movie is that movie Is that movie about cops? Yes, it is a cop. And then Jared Leto maybe is a criminal or something. Yes. And it's basically cops, it's basically like cops protecting cops, even when they break the lob because it was the right thing to do or something. Sort of, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:32 Yeah, I remember it. I did see that movie. It's like professional courtesy the movie. What are the chances that those two things would align? And the fact that you've had them sat in your office for all that time. That's absolutely insane. What do you take away from the experience? like what do you think it was trying to impart something upon you let's just let's just start with
Starting point is 00:13:49 this did you enjoy the little things no oh bummer yeah i think i saw it on plane yeah that's a perfect place to watch it it is a movie where they set up like this that there's this crazy serial killer who's been doing killings for like forever and they decide to end the movie without ever laying out who the killer is even though that's a large point because they're trying to overall convey message that you need to let things go sometimes. Like a killer. Like a killer that they can't catch. Or like cops facing accountability for their actions.
Starting point is 00:14:26 Or cops facing accountability for their actions. I think that's what I remember from the film. Yeah. That is, yeah, largely what it's about. Forget it, Jeff, it's the little things. It's the little things. It's little things town. It's not just like the timing of that.
Starting point is 00:14:42 I had started that movie because it was on Netflix and then decided, I'm not feeling this tonight. So, like, I could have watched it almost a year ago, and I just didn't. Just the fact that all of those things lined up for that moment, insane. I'm currently
Starting point is 00:14:58 suffering through a soda-based issue right now. You mentioned the Jones sodas. Yeah, my wife is not adventurous when it comes to sodas. She's a creature of comfort, but we were at Tosca the other day, and I saw that Poppy, which I like very much, had a cranberry fizz
Starting point is 00:15:15 and I thought that sounded awesome but because it's Costco it only comes in like a 15 pack so I threw caution to the wind she was like I wouldn't I'm not gonna drink that yeah I hope you want it and I was like of course I want it I love cranberry I love fizz
Starting point is 00:15:27 I love poppy so I bought it it is a it's so bad and I have like 13 left to drink and I gotta get them wait what soda is this it's a poppy cranberry fizz bring it's you're not gonna like it but I'll bring it to the office yeah I mean yeah but at least
Starting point is 00:15:43 can help, we can help you get rid of it. Yeah, it's, put it in the fridge. Nick will drink it. I will. I don't like poppy. Oh, yeah, the can. Oh, I love Poppy too. Don't, don't get, I love, that's why I bought it. Poppy's the best. Don't get me wrong. And there's a great guys screaming at each other about how much they like poppy. But it's just, Nick, do you think you could do all 13 cans back to back?
Starting point is 00:16:08 Oh, God, no, not Poppy. That'll make you shit your brains out. Yeah, yeah. That'd be like drinking six doses of Relax. Yeah. Because of the biotics. Yeah. So many. Pre, I think, right?
Starting point is 00:16:20 Pre, pro, anti, just normal. I don't know. Could you get post biotics? Post biotics. Postbiotic. You get pro. Or amateur biotic. We need.
Starting point is 00:16:35 Amateur biotics. We need amateur biotics. We need post biotics. We're going to design the first amateur biotic, post-biotic soda. What if we become the first, like, biotics-focused podcast? Like, we're very into different kinds of biotics. Like, I found an image just sort of running down prebiotics, probiotics, synbiotics, interesting, and post-biotics.
Starting point is 00:17:06 Unfortunately, I don't see amateur biotics, so that could be something we create. Yeah, yeah. We could draw goofy little picture. COVID or whatever that is and call it antibiotics or... No, would that exist? Antibiotics. What was the one we're going to do? Postbiotics? Amateur biotics? I think I...
Starting point is 00:17:22 Guys, you got to invent something. It's anti-biotics. That's a real one already. God damn. We'll be rich. Maybe once we're past that, we can start working on reverse biotics. I don't really know what that would be, but it sounds like we should... Yeah. Try and get back around to the beginning.
Starting point is 00:17:36 Do you think we should get, uh, we should get into reverse osmosis biotics? Oh, definitely. Oh, definitely. We're taking the biotics out of poppy to just make it into water or regular soda, I guess. Oh, I'd be into that. It'll be more in a pile of cranberries. If you could remove the biotics from poppy soda, that's my product. I'm in.
Starting point is 00:17:56 Get me in there. Your product is just regular soda. Yeah, I'd be so much more excited if it was just normal soda. I've been striking out on trying new things lately. I went to the grocery store the day, and they had, they had watermelons, which I'm a big watermelon guy. I don't know if you know this about me. But they had that yellow watermelon that I keep seeing all over the internet. And I thought, fuck it.
Starting point is 00:18:19 I'll try a yellow watermelon, right? Really mediocre. I don't understand what the yellow watermelon is. It's just yellow on the inside. It's just like a watermelon, but instead of pink, a pink rind, it's a yellow rind. And it's, yeah. It looks like that. Is it a different stage of ripe or is it a different melon?
Starting point is 00:18:35 It's a different melon. It's like a different strain of melon. But it's got a real bland, boring flavor. Maybe it was a bad. It's like it got crossbred with a cucumber or something, like a squash. It could have been a bad melon. I'll try one more, but it was real disappointing. Get it, bring it to the office with the poppy soda, and then we can do that.
Starting point is 00:18:56 We have to go to the store tomorrow to get all of our supplies for the Advent thing. Oh, yeah, that's right, which we don't have anything for. Yeah, none of that came in the mail yet, Andrew. I hope that's not a problem. Really? Let's see. Let me all check on that after we finish recording. That is not ideal. It's like pineapple.
Starting point is 00:19:13 It does kind of... It does. And if you cut in a small piece, then Gavin could tell you exactly if it is watermelon or pineapple. You would be so hard pressed to say what this was with your eyes closed. He couldn't even get strawberry, so, I mean...
Starting point is 00:19:27 That's true. For those who haven't... That was a Falcon thing, or an extra medium thing, was it, on Patreon? Yeah, it was... It was extra medium. Okay. Well, okay, so on extra medium,
Starting point is 00:19:39 we did a video where I was guessing fruit with my eyes shut, and I'm not that good at some of it. Come on, don't say yourself short. You did very well. You did great. It took you a long time, but you were very accurate. I had to cut a lot of me just standing in silence and Jeff just pacing around. Also, I guess for some reason, Nick must have been standing under an AC vent or something because it's just constant wind throughout that video. Oh, there is one right there. Holy shit.
Starting point is 00:20:09 I can see it from here I had to edit out so much of like it was that and Jeff just not being up to stand still and constantly cleaning up and just making a racket all over the kitchen yeah that's me but I made a discovery
Starting point is 00:20:25 while I was editing this video and here's a little screenshot from it do you see anything weird in the apple weird in the apple the apple emoji I put in the bottom right there's there's kind of like a haloing around like the top left of it I guess so I put it on black and I made it big and there's something going on with the
Starting point is 00:20:46 Apple emoji wait it's a tomato is that a tomato it's like there's a tomato stuck behind yeah or something like they've messed it up and it's on every like it's on the phone did you just crack something did you just crack something white open that nobody knew about I think I've I've made a discovery that I didn't see anyone on Google talking about you crack the I crack the apple case. Someone needs to fix the apple emoji because there's a ghost tomato
Starting point is 00:21:14 stuck behind it or a ghost apple or something. We really are an Apple podcast. We really are. We tried to be a biotics podcast, but we are truly an Apple podcast. Okay, Nick has posted a picture of the vet. Yeah, he was stood directly under that the whole video. Well, I have a thumbnail for the episode now.
Starting point is 00:21:37 That's great. He uses apple. Yeah, with the tomato. That's crazy. This episode of the regulation podcast is sponsored by Factor.

Thank you to Factor for sponsoring this episode of the Regulation podcast. When you fly an Emirates business class and you're picked up by your private, luxury, chauffeur-driven car,
Starting point is 00:23:17 you'll see that your vacation isn't really over until your flight is over. Fly Emirates. Fly better. I have a question for you guys, if you don't mind. Does anybody else have any specific knowledge? None that I could call out in that way. I feel the same way with specific knowledge
Starting point is 00:23:37 is that it's so dependent on situations where you go, oh, unfortunately, I know something more about this. Yeah. Well, let me ask you guys a different question then. I was on a bike ride this morning and I got the thinking about well, actually I was listening to a different podcast
Starting point is 00:24:00 and they were talking about when they were kids and how exciting it was to go to wrestling events and that was never something I wanted to do but that got me thinking about like what was the thing that when I was a kid I bugged my parents about and I was like please buy tickets to this, please take me to this event and the only thing I could come up with Wyatt too
Starting point is 00:24:19 I had the Hall of Notes concert that they took me to for my I think 12th birthday which I begged for like six months to get tickets to that and they took me and that was cool but the only other thing I could think of is when I was a kid I used to I really want to go to a water park. I lived in Florida for a long time. And my mom never took me to a
Starting point is 00:24:36 water park. And at one point, I wanted to go so badly. I wrote a novel about my mom taking me to a water park. And then I gave it to her. As in like, look at the effort I've put in. You should definitely take me to a wet and wild now. And she didn't. And so I never, I don't know that I've, I guess as an adult
Starting point is 00:24:52 I've been to Fluegerville or to the Schlitterbaum, rather. But, uh, and then I was thinking like, Millie, I remember taking her to see Panic at the Disco and her begging to see Panic at the Disco in Middle school and her begging to see two dudes named Dan and Phil, who I still don't quite know who they were. But there were a lot of people there. I think, yeah, there's some kind of YouTube sketch comedy thing. Yeah, I remember. It was fine. She had the time of her life. But what was it for you
Starting point is 00:25:16 guys when you were kids? Was there something you just annoyed your parents about? I wrote an essay about why I needed a PSP. You know what? I was wrong about that. You didn't appreciate the PSP when you got it? No, like I tried. I really tried hard. But no, that was not a great. Great system. I had a PSP. That thing sucked. Oh, I thought that was, I never had it. I thought that was always love for the PSP. Or was it there is a lot of love for. I think people love for the Vita, I think, more so than the first one. Oh. I could be wrong about that. But yeah, it was essentially a portable movie player for me. I didn't play a lot of games on it. But I did write, I did like picture art for it and like did a whole pitch kind of similar to you with the water
Starting point is 00:26:05 park of why this is a great device and why I need it and how great it would be to have. So you enjoyed it more in your piece of fiction than you did when you actually got in real life? I definitely enjoyed the advertising campaign as to why it was cool significantly more than the device itself. I love the idea of trying to advertise sneakily to your parents, like putting up leaflets around the house, just like trying to get in the subconscious. Yeah. Well, I did a whole pitch and it eventually worked. But yeah, I don't know. Like I, it was a platform that I used to watch the movie Stealth and Triple X. That was about it. All roads come back to Triple X. Yep, they sure do. On this podcast, they do. Yeah. Like, was there a, like a football game you always wanted to go to, Gav, or like a, or, I don't know. Were you, what were you, were you into anything as a kid like that? I know you had your dad bring you to America to see.
Starting point is 00:26:59 red versus blue live, but you were a little bit older. You were like 18 at that point. Yeah, I got to see, I was 17. I got to see episode one of season four early ahead of the internet. It was wicked. I'm trying to think of, I think a water park was on my list. There was a place called Aqua Splash that had that, uh, that ride, it's not really a ride, a slide where you go down into the bowl and you spin around a few times.
Starting point is 00:27:21 And I went there and I freaking whacked my head on the bowl as I went in, never went on it again. Went in, learned my lesson. Yeah. Came out. And I think I bang my knee on the, on like the rim of the ball as I fell into the water at the bottom, too. I think I just got beat up. I wasn't ready to like clench up.
Starting point is 00:27:40 I think I was too loose in the ball. Too loose in the ball. I have that problem. Every fucking noise. Oh, Christ. Did you, like, did you get to see wrestling events when you were a kid, Eric? Uh, some, but they were more just kind of like. like the bigger WWF stuff and everything
Starting point is 00:28:01 when I was younger I remember like really wanting to see Spider-Man 1 when it came out but I was like right around like high school or whatever so it was like well somebody has to take me because that's like a whole thing but then I wanted to go with my friends so that was a whole thing no like there wasn't a lot of stuff
Starting point is 00:28:17 that I was like dying to go do I remember really wanting like a Nintendo 64 like that was a whole thing but that like yeah that was just like so much want and want and want uh eventually getting it i think probably for christmas but man that like never really going anywhere i feel like we always went places like i went to a lot of baseball games
Starting point is 00:28:39 when i was a kid uh my dad had tickets through his work that nobody used because the padres were so bad for so long so we would just go to a lot of baseball games so we never really wanted for like oh we got to go to this thing yeah yeah yeah for me it was always like a video game thing that i wanted that that's really it anything for you nick You know, I remember my dad was a big adopter for Net Zero, which was a not-pay dial-up service. And I just remember being like, I just, can we please get, even AOL, I don't care. I just, because I used to play StarCraft and like Diablo 2. And so the little bar that was across the screen, whenever you clicked on it, it would take you out of the game and like open up an ad for you.
Starting point is 00:29:26 so I was always just getting my ass kicked in all these games I was like please please please get internet and then on a random trip that my mom took us on we came back and he had surprised us with not only high speed internet blown away by that he also got cable which we did not have and never had when I was growing up until I was I think 12 so he finally was like
Starting point is 00:29:50 here you go you get all this stuff but I just remember begging for that over and over I remember getting a cable box for the first time as a kid and how exciting that was that wasn't a thing I was begging for because I didn't know it was a thing I was missing in life
Starting point is 00:30:04 but having like it would just so many more channels and like the little pop-ups on the screen and it was crazy what the pop-ups just like a thing that would indicate what channel you were on
Starting point is 00:30:16 and what the program was I like the guide and all that yeah like the guide and like having a UI and all that it was like well this is we're in the future I will say I think
Starting point is 00:30:26 we all pretty much always had cable growing up but I was always jealous of kids with satellite because we would have like 40 channels on cable and they would have like a thousand on satellite they were not real channels and it was always bullshit but it sounded so cool and the satellite dude shit with like NASA
Starting point is 00:30:42 was in your backyard yeah I feel like England went more down the satellite route than the cable route everyone had a dish did you see the post there's someone I don't know if it was on Reddit or Patreon or somewhere but we apparently
Starting point is 00:30:55 completely messed up the worst day's draft and what did what does that mean two different draft ideas I think was it okay I think the the draft we had discussed an idea for a worst days draft initially previously well far before we did
Starting point is 00:31:11 the best days worst days draft but that idea I think was picking who was having the worst day in like a movie or something yeah like characters who are just characters are just going through it yeah oh that's like that's a fun idea Michael Douglas and falling down. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:25 Yeah, that's a, oh yeah, I didn't even, dude, I don't remember having that discussion at all. That's a great idea. Oh, me either. That's, if that's an us idea, we should do that. That's fantastic. I think it was a Jeff idea, but then, didn't you pitch that and then I think you just read it
Starting point is 00:31:39 and then decided to do best days and worst days? Probably. I'm going to write, you think, the best days, worst days was driven purely by thinking it was funny to do them back to back. Yeah, yeah. That's what I thought. I'm going to write fiction.
Starting point is 00:31:53 a worst day's draft. I like that. Like who had the worst days? It's probably one of those things where like in the moment the new idea sounded like a funnier direction in my head or we got two videos at it instead of one so you just pivot
Starting point is 00:32:07 and modify it, you know? I was thinking about fluid like water with your ideas. Sort of multiverse idea of there being an alternate timeline where everything that could happen does happen. I was thinking about fictional characters.
Starting point is 00:32:20 Does that mean there's a universe where John McLean is real. The plot of Die Hard just happens. What do you mean? If every if there is a like a different timeline in which every scenario that could
Starting point is 00:32:34 theoretically happen does happen does John McLean exist as we know him in some timeline. But why go to John you might as well say if everything if every possible timeline has happened did you get hit in the forehead by a horse cock when you were younger?
Starting point is 00:32:50 That's less interesting to me than John McClain. Not severe, isn't? Well, that's you. Why are you bringing the horsecocks into this? Why is he all excited about a horsecock? Get him, like, juiced in this conversation, so he started thinking about horsecocks. Well, I just don't know why.
Starting point is 00:33:06 If you open up the pool to infinity, why go die hard? Yeah, you could have gotten Thanos. Well, one, because he's fictional and two, because I feel like just the idea of a real-life John McLean having to go through all the things that he goes through is funny to me. So skyscraper terrorism. airport terrorism he goes to russia he does a lot of things he does i think he jumps a motorcycle
Starting point is 00:33:30 onto a jet right new york terrorism doesn't he back a police car into a helicopter or something as well he launches one yeah oh so you're saying there's a there's a universe where not it's i just i guess i thought just the first diehard happened but you're saying all of the diehards occurred in one universe it's like a real guy that just but then i guess in the scenario in which john mclean real, there's scenarios where he doesn't do any of that, which is also funny to me. There's, there's fucking some, there's a scenario, there's a universe where he says, yippy kaye, motherfucker, and then stubs his toe and falters, and they shoot him. Yeah, I wonder, like, who is closest to a John McLean, it must be like a Navy SEAL or something
Starting point is 00:34:12 who just did crazy missions back to back. I'm trying to think of another line of work where you could end up in all those situations. Do you think in one of the John McLean, There's a movie that they all watch about a guy named Andrew Panton who does John McLean's type stuff Oh that would have to exist too right like they have to watch movies that's true McLean's universe they have to be entertained that's good point I like that Gavin was trying to find a job where it would make sense a different job as if John McLean's job made sense as to why he was doing all those things well wasn't he a cop yeah he's a cop like none of the scenarios he was in aligned with
Starting point is 00:34:52 yeah if he was a roofer I assume he wouldn't have gotten involved what was what was the job involving horse cocks that Gavin was trying to come up with what are you talking about what job vet that jockey
Starting point is 00:35:07 well yeah that could be a friend you know there's just a universe where it's exactly the same as what it is here but just one of them a horse cock just knocked out a jockey like oh wait so it's not even
Starting point is 00:35:22 This universe. Maybe it's happened here. Who knows? I think if one of us was knocked out by a horse cock, we wouldn't be in this situation we're in now. I think that would have steered the life off in a completely different path. Really? Yeah. You think if Eric took a horse cock to the face, age 11, he would be... I don't think it changes his life in the way that you're disgusting. He'd probably, yeah, he probably still be an intensive therapy at a home somewhere. Or he might be dead. Yeah. It's true. We'll have some, like, big
Starting point is 00:35:51 conkin print on his head. Or he might be, he might be really into horse cocks. Yeah, I'll do a gavit style. Yeah. Could be rich from the settlement. I had a follow up to the mundane coincidences in the movie thing. I got weird.
Starting point is 00:36:06 The next night, after I watched the little things, as just looking at stuff on Netflix to watch, and I got recommended a zombie movie, like a foreign zombie movie called the Elixir, which is all about, like herbal company like a herbal drink company putting out a new like essentially
Starting point is 00:36:28 live longer type beverage but it turns everybody into zombies and things go wrong I watched about half of it then went to bed woke up the next day got the mail and waiting for me was a package from a company that I'm assuming potentially wants to be a sponsor of the podcast that is a herbal remedy for like just general things like general alertness and a vervent type thing
Starting point is 00:36:58 and I could not believe it following up I was like I need to stop watching movies this is yeah how are you getting this coincidental stuff with it you gotta start watching it was within 48 hours yeah what movies what movie was this it was called the elixir and then the next day
Starting point is 00:37:15 plot of eye zombie the TV show maybe and the video game Sunset Overdrive, I think. No idea about that. Sunset Overdrive was like, yeah, drinking a drink and everyone turned into like monsters or whatever. Yeah. Weird.
Starting point is 00:37:33 Yeah, watch movies where people find gold and stuff. Yeah. Yeah, watch movies where people find gold. Watch city slickers the legend of Curly's gold. Oh. You know what people say like, oh, this person's worth their weight in gold? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:37:46 I would have to, I've just put it in Google. I would have to be worth 13,400,000. And it made me wonder, what am I worth my weight in? Like, am I worth my weight in coal? Or, like, something shitty? Like, copper. I'm trying to think. What will be worth your weight in?
Starting point is 00:38:05 Like, in terms of what I potentially generate for a company. It'd be interesting to see what elements were worth. What elements were worth? Yeah, sure is shit, not gold for me. Maybe salt? What if instead of like, that's how raises work, they change your element as opposed to like 2% more of that element, like, oh, I've upgraded, like it's a fucking multiplayer rank.
Starting point is 00:38:32 I'm diamond this year. That'd be so cool though, to have a, like a video game-esque rank for you, to mark your performance at work. Kind of dystopian, actually. It is. That was a draft idea I had, by the way, was dystopian business practices draft because I was just inventing them in my head. I came up with, imagine if DoorDash and Uber Eats started having like exclusive menu items for different restaurants and how dog shit that would be. And I think it's absolutely something that could happen in our 2025 reality.
Starting point is 00:39:12 What are you talking about? Oh, do they? Yeah, there's stuff you can get that's exclusively on DoorDashire. Dash or Uber Eats. For real? Well, yeah, for chain restaurants. Oh. Okay.
Starting point is 00:39:22 Well, yeah, I'm really good at this then. Not only that, they did, like recently, Wendy's had, like, a barbecue burger, and the only way to get it initially was through Uber Eats. It was, like, an early exclusive. Taco Bell does some, like, app-only stuff, too, or, like, you can only get a chili cheese video through the app or whatever. Not right now, but, yeah. Yeah. A lot online exclusives. Yep.
Starting point is 00:39:49 Yeah, I think I'd only heard of like entire restaurants being exclusive to a delivery service, but not like a single menu item. Not an item on the menu. Yeah, that was just extra level shitty. But yeah, I guess that is where we are. If you can dream of it being shitty, it's probably already a shitty reality. That would be an interest. I'm thinking about worth the weight of.
Starting point is 00:40:15 and obviously that doesn't mean as literal as you're interpreting it but it would be interesting to find like to look at what a person like whoever's listening your yearly salary and then applying that to like
Starting point is 00:40:30 how many burgers you could get worth your weight in burgers how many burgers is that or I guess hot dogs or like whatever you want it is a fun I do like the idea of a burger being a unit of measurement yeah a unit of value
Starting point is 00:40:44 It does become complicated because there's a range of burger values. You get the value menu, you got a double burger, you got a bacon cheese. I think you just pick a burger and it becomes the regulation default burger that you choose by.
Starting point is 00:40:58 Like a McDonald's cheeseburger or something, you know? I've looked up copper 160 pounds. I've just rounded my weight to 160 pounds. 160 pounds of copper is worth $803. Okay.
Starting point is 00:41:13 How much are you worth? How much are you worth? How much are you worth in palladium? Ooh, palladium? 160 pounds. How do you spell palladium? I think I've only dealt with that. P-A-L-L-A-B-I-U-M, I think.
Starting point is 00:41:26 160 pounds of copper is only 800 bucks? Why is everyone ripping it out of walls and shit? Yeah, no kidding. What the fuck? I thought it would be way more than that. Bies a lot of cigarettes and beer, I guess so. Damn. It's probably pretty heavy.
Starting point is 00:41:40 If you just get like a big bundle of wire, there's probably a lot of copper in it. Dude, my uncle, he used to work as an electrician and he would take all scrap copper and stuff from the week and throw it in his truck and come over to my grandparents' house in the weekend and just drink beer and listen to country music
Starting point is 00:41:54 and just strip fucking copper wire in the backyard all night long. Really? A lot of my child. Whoa. Whoa. And then he'd go make an extra 80 bucks or whatever. My people hustled.
Starting point is 00:42:12 We made money where we could. Palladium is $1,400 for what, though? Is that a pound? Is that a grand? It's $1,400. Palladium is harder to figure out for me. I think one palladium, please. Here's $1,400.
Starting point is 00:42:28 Just give me one palladium. What's the Troy ounce? Is that, what's a Troy pound? We only found out that microseconds exist, so I don't know, man. What's a Troy second? That ends every clicker game experience for me Or like you're generating money in these games And then it gets to a level of value
Starting point is 00:42:48 That I don't understand And I just I stop every time That's the end of the game for me The number gets too big and you go Yeah, I don't recognize these symbols And it's like I can't even like imagine this So it's not even fun What's an example?
Starting point is 00:43:03 I don't like it I feel like I've seen like a QC before Quality Control Yeah But dollar wise you get millions and billions and hundreds of billions and then once you get past that it becomes hard for me to imagine
Starting point is 00:43:19 and that's sort of the fun of being like oh every time this guy does this thing and every 10 seconds it's a million dollars in the game once it gets to a currency level that is hard for me to comprehend Bezos money I guess some could say on how much a Bezos fart is worth like how much money does he make while farting
Starting point is 00:43:37 we can figure that out Probably kid. Average person farts 20 times a day. Probably takes one second to fart, maybe two seconds. You think that's high? No, I don't, I don't fart that much. What if we'll do, we do, like, farting into a bag day and see who inflates the bag the most?
Starting point is 00:43:56 Oh, my God. Like that Mario Party mini-game where they inflate the, uh, the Bowser? Yeah. Who's going to have the biggest fart back? I feel like I go through farting phases. I hope it, I'll have to catch it at the right time. Because they're phases. I may fart like three times on a Wednesday, you know?
Starting point is 00:44:13 But then like 40 times on a Thursday. You just never know. What are you eating Wednesday nights? That's a good question. The last night I had the worst fajitas. I made him. It sucked. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:44:30 Yeah, I was real bummed, man. I decided I wanted to cook fajitas. I thought that'd be a nice little thing for Emily to come home to because this is the bad time of the year for her and she's exhausted. and plus she broke her toe the other day and she's just like working through it and it's been a whole thing. Her toe's like, it looks like it's blo.
Starting point is 00:44:45 Oh, God, it's gross. It's fucking black. She calls it her zombie toe. Anyway, she like sticks it in my face a lot. It's really disgusting. Anyway, so I decided to make her fajitas. I thought that'd be a nice little surprise and I went to the store to buy fajita meat
Starting point is 00:45:01 and it was all turkeys for Thanksgiving. And I thought, of course it is. Why would I, why would I buy fajitas in November? Why would I expect to find fajita's meat in November? But also I live in Texas and it's 86 degrees outside and I rode my bike in shorts and it came home too sweaty. So I feel like grilling is probably still on the table.
Starting point is 00:45:19 So I went to three grocery stores before I found fajita meat and then it wasn't very good. What is fajita meat? Just like shitty meat? Yeah. Well, it's like cut up skirt steak. Yeah. Like surely if you couldn't find fajita meat,
Starting point is 00:45:31 you could you just hack up a steak? I could have hacked up a skirt steak myself but it was already marinated and cut up, and I'm not looking to put that much work into this thing. I don't have all the time in the world. If I'm going to marinate meat, I want to do it for a while, and I had this idea at like 4 p.m. It was more just like, oh, I'll just run over to Whole Foods
Starting point is 00:45:50 and get some, nope, all right, I'll just run to eat you beat. Nope, I'll just go to the, okay. I don't even know why we're talking about. Oh, because that, because that, but it didn't result in farts. Oh, okay. Oh, right. Okay. Get no frills delivered. Shop the same in-store prices online

I've just realized in the, between people talking in this podcast, I'm so distracted because I bought new headphones and when there's silence, I can hear my earblood.
Starting point is 00:46:28 What? I can like hear my heartbeat. What the fuck? Okay. That's just a crazy way to say heartbeat. Well, I can't hear my heart, I can't hear my, I can't hear my, I can't hear my heart, I can feel, I can hear it, I can hear like the blood in my ear veins, I guess, I can hear plugs, I can hear my heart when you do it, that I'm not a fan. Could you really? Yeah, I feel like you can.
Starting point is 00:46:52 I feel like, uh, your body looks for sound and that's internal, so. Yeah. You can hear it. It'd be cool if you could just tell your body, like I'm not interested in any sounds right now. You don't have to, you don't have to, you don't have to give me all the information. Like I assume my blood's moving That's fair I might have to return these headphones
Starting point is 00:47:12 They're like too Too good Yeah Too sealed Do you think you'll get used to it? Like sometimes when I've swabbed headphones Before and I couldn't hear myself In them
Starting point is 00:47:23 There's definitely a phase of like Oh this is terrible Then you get used to it and then you lose it Maybe you need that Maybe after a while you'll be like I can't believe I lived without this without hearing my heartbeat
Starting point is 00:47:35 yeah do you think you'll miss it? You might not even notice it you might be like oh fuck am I still alive I don't have that comforting heartbeat to listen to maybe maybe I should stick a stick a microphone in my ear and record it or something
Starting point is 00:47:49 and then I'll listen to it and see if that's why I'm hearing yeah sure go for it I think you have a microphone that you can put in your ear currently yeah really interesting well I mean a laugh mic would fit
Starting point is 00:48:03 down my earhole. Sure. Okay. So what's... It's you really surprised? Then you're like, oh. Oh, I didn't know you had one. So how about that?
Starting point is 00:48:12 I've also got one of those, like, contact, what they called? The mics that you actually, like, stick to something? Like, you, like, suction them on? Section cut? No, they pick up, like, the low frequency of materials. Oh. Remember. Well, and then we're not going to get it.
Starting point is 00:48:31 Nick's the only chance we had in that one. Yeah, we struck out. Yeah, we struck out. It's like a mic that you stick on something? Oh, yeah. Huh. Is it like the thing we did and does it do? Yeah, is it like a magic ear?
Starting point is 00:48:48 Oh, well, yeah. What was the, that was the thing you yelled in? Almost blew up my eardrum. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that is funny. That was so funny. You must have some weird,
Starting point is 00:49:02 specific like recording and or tech stuff for what you do with slow mo guys Gavin what's one of the weirder items you have that like you just don't get to pull out often I don't listen like weird probe lenses at funny angles and yeah I guess that like contact mic is kind of weird you don't use that all the time is there any greater joy than when someone says like oh I need this incredibly specific thing and you get to go I got it I'm ready yeah isn't that so satisfying where you're like I've got this I had something that someone needed recently. It was like a screwdriver that only Nintendo
Starting point is 00:49:36 uses. Yes. I was like, yeah, I got it. Whoa. That's crazy. If you need to open up like an old retro console or like a virtual boy or something, I've got you covered. You were going to try something, Gavin, that you texted
Starting point is 00:49:56 me about. And I was curious, what's the state of your Pikachu at the moment? So the thing I'm going to try, I was reading a thing that, you know, it's getting to the point where a lot of my childhood is dying. Like VHS tapes are going all gammy and you've got to like back them up because like the magnetic shit's coming off them. And like Game Boy games, the batteries are dying around now.
Starting point is 00:50:18 So I was thinking, I need to save my Pikachu. I need to get my Pokemon yellow Pikachu off that cartridge and get him through the generations up into a modern Pokemon game. But it's very difficult to get them off like a geniechew. one and two cartridge. There's some weird like hackery
Starting point is 00:50:35 to be done but I think it's possible. So when you say hackery you're gonna have to go beyond the maybe initial designs of what Nintendo allows to have this happen?
Starting point is 00:50:45 Yeah, I'm potentially gonna have to dump the ROM off my cartridge to a PC and then potentially try and use a different hack to trade him
Starting point is 00:50:53 onto a Gen 3 and then just keep trading him up. Eventually get him into Pokemon Bank which is like a delisted DS thing that you can still get
Starting point is 00:51:02 And then into an app called Pokemon Home on the Switch where all of your current Pokemon can just live in a box But I think it'd be so cool to be like Oh yeah, I met this Pikachu in 1998 or something That is cool This is fascinating I would love to see you chronicle that process That sounds really neat
Starting point is 00:51:21 I think I'm going to try and document it Because I think it's going to be weird to be able to say This Pikachu is older than all my real pets And it could actually outlive all of pets, all of my pets and me. Yeah. It's like buying a bird. Because I am always sad that as a kid,
Starting point is 00:51:40 I was always selling my last thing to buy like a secondhand new thing. So I don't have my original Super Nintendo or my original N64 with like my original Donkey Kong 64 save on it. But for some reason, never sold the Game Boys. The game, like my Game Boy games are the oldest, the oldest game saves I have. And I kind of love that. That's so cool. You should go in and check the batteries on this and replace them.
Starting point is 00:52:05 You need to. Yeah, I checked my Pokemon yellow cartridge and a Pikachu lives. So I need to back him up as soon as possible and then try this. It's just weird jank. Pikachu lives. I want to meet this Pikachu on a modern day console at some point. That's what I was going to ask is if, let's say you get him to home, which sounds like the end goal. Is there any, like, modern game you're able to use him on?
Starting point is 00:52:32 I think potentially I could trade him into Pokemon Scarlet or maybe Pokemon A, Z, or whatever the new one is, and he could just be in my... Really? I think he's like a level 71 Pikachu or something. He definitely smashed the Elite 4 in Pokemon Yellow. That's so cool. I was very excited. Pokemon Yellow, the first of the Pokemon games?
Starting point is 00:52:55 No, it's the first one I had. The first one that came out in Europe was the, I think the same ones as the US, which was red and blue. Oh, so it went red, blue, and then yellow. Yeah, and in Japan it was like red, green and then blue. Okay. But yeah, it's just like, it's Gen 1. They did the color thing, from what I understand, to try to compete with Mario sales. Oh. Oh, is that true? I heard they made it red and blue in North America because of the flag colors. Oh. Really? Maybe. Maybe no one really nice. Well, I don't think the color is the reason as to why
Starting point is 00:53:31 they sold two different versions of it was to try to compete with Mario S did I assume it works? Is red and are they different games like blue a different game from red? Yeah, like slightly it's just the because you can't get all 150 if you just play blue
Starting point is 00:53:49 you have to have red because it has a few Pokemon in that specific versus blue specific and there's Pokemon that evolved by trading that was the thing that they wanted you to do was like you get this one and then your friend gets the other one and then you trade the Pokemon or whatever to fill up your Pocodex. So you wouldn't buy red and blue. You'd just buy red and then have a friend with blue and then there's a trade to get it that way. I had blue when I was a kid.
Starting point is 00:54:18 My brother had red but I had a friend, Jace and we would ride our bikes to an ice cream shop and trade Pokemon because he had Pokemon red and it was like that's where we would would meet up and trade Pokemon and be like, hell yeah, dude, now we don't have to bring this stuff to school because someone might take it. So, yeah, I only ever traded between current gen. I, I don't think I fully understood that you could trade Pokemon up generations. Like, you could wait for three years and then use your Pokemon in the next game. I think that's so cool.
Starting point is 00:54:43 You don't really get a lot of stuff like that now. No. Yeah, that is very cool. But I also determined, looking through all this Pokemon crap, I don't remember any of the, any of the games. Like, I play Pokemon X. I don't remember that for shit. So I think I'm just going to play Pokemon Y, the other one of that.
Starting point is 00:55:01 And then I could potentially complete a polka decks, which I've never done. Is why the most current one? No, it's from like 2013. It was just, I think, the last one I played properly. Talking about Pokemon made me think about it. I was a perfect age for it. I loved it. I had a bunch of the cards.
Starting point is 00:55:20 Everybody, all the kids than I knew were super into Pokemon and getting the cards and like collecting them. and we did like a neighborhood trade between me and like four or five of the other kids in the neighborhood and my mom moderated it to make sure like things remained fair and thinking about the value of those like initial run cards now like at the time it was like whatever just making sure cards in cards out for people but the value of those cards in good condition now it's so funny of thinking back of how much money probably passed back and forth, theoretically, with those things. I bet 160 pounds of Pokemon cards could be worth their weight in gold.
Starting point is 00:56:07 Oh, yeah. Depending on the cards. Absolutely. And the grading? Yeah. Insane. It's funny to think back of those things that, like, are worth not nearly as much
Starting point is 00:56:19 as they are currently. Jeff? The value expense. That's me. I'm Jeff. If you had to take your weight, in cards you don't get to pick what cards they are you just get a random weight of the cards that you own like your weight how much do you think they would be worth just a random amount like let's say you're you're 230 pounds so i'm like 185 pounds so that's you got 185 pounds of
Starting point is 00:56:50 random cards that you had do you think they would be worth your weight in gold or Or what do you think? Would they be copper? What's my weight in gold? Gavin, look up 185. Are we talking tops? We talking Panini? I think it's just got to be like a random.
Starting point is 00:57:08 Like if you had to guess like a mean amount. I'd like to put some containers on it in the second, but I want to hear what this weight is. I somehow accidentally Googled 1985 golf. What can you tell me about 1985 golf? Well, 185 pounds of gold is $11 million. How about I get $30 million from...
Starting point is 00:57:33 I mean, I could put together $11 million in two cards, but yeah, if it's just a random, that's the thing, it's like, is it sport, a multi-sport? Can I just, can I pick a sport? Can I say only basketball cards? Yeah, you can pick a sport.
Starting point is 00:57:51 Is there a potential for Vintage in there as well? Yeah, I mean, if you... If you own it, sure. It would be a random assortment of cards that you have. Oh, then I own. Yeah. So you're asking if I have $11 million in cards? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:05 Yeah. I didn't bat an eyelid when you're like, I could work together $11 billion. That was, I was really impressed. I'm like, wow, he must have some really cool cards. I was just thinking of it in general. No, I mean, you're just asking me what my card collection is worth. I had nothing.
Starting point is 00:58:18 Oh. 185 pounds of silver is $138,000. Do you think you can make that? Oh. Uh, no. Okay, 185 pounds of aluminum is 236 bucks. You think you make that? Okay.
Starting point is 00:58:37 I'm somewhere in between those two. Yeah, absolutely. So I'm between $100,000 and $230. I'm on the mark of smarts alone. Yeah, I mean, I have, I mean, I probably have $10,000 with a market of smart cards. The problem is how you're going to get somebody to buy them, you know? So out there, there are two cards that would combine to be $11 million. Sure. That'd be such an easy way of moving money internationally.
Starting point is 00:58:59 It's converting it to those two cards and just sticking them in your pocket. Yeah. Going through border control. Yeah, I'm sure you wouldn't be nervous the whole time or anything. I'm sure it would be so easy. Well, I mean, more easy than a briefcase of cash. Well, here we go. I can do it even easier than that. The 2007-2008 upper deck exquisite collection, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, dual logo man cards sold for $12.932 million.
Starting point is 00:59:22 What? Like, if you, I get having like a lot of money and then you're spending it on like crazy stuff, whatever, but like one card 12 million? Like, what do you do with it? That's crazy. It's just an investment. I would have zero joy. This is the card. You just, you sit in it, you sit in it like a stock. That's the card I was thinking of that Mickey Mantle. I guess it's just like having a big, big old fat brokerage account except it's one card. Yeah. And a lot of people are, uh, I've seen this a lot online are recommending a lot of people are recommending that you put an amount of your investment into collectibles, not necessarily cards, but maybe like two to five percent of, uh, of your investments into car, some, some form of collectible, whether it be art or just to get physical and like, yeah, to diversify to have some sort of, P-proof. Yeah, exactly. Interesting. And if you look at how much cards have gone up in value, the right cards have gone up in value. I mean, it's good. We're doing that as a company. We have all these
Starting point is 01:00:29 skateboards. We got Larry King stuff. We have the tuxedo. We got keys to cities. Yeah, we're diversifying. This is good. Speaking of a diversifying, I saw something I think maybe we need. I'm going to put it, post it in the Slack or in the Discord. Okay, Discord. Costco. Oh. Oh, the SpongeBob Claw machine? Yeah, we could, we could buy a SpongeBob.
Starting point is 01:00:52 claw machine today for six hundred bucks. I don't want our own claw machine. I don't know. I don't want our own claw machine. I want to take this money, go to a claw machine place, and fucking bleed them dry. Yes. What if we had a claw machine and it was full of Gurpas? Okay. Oh. For what? Yeah. Okay. You want to step two? A drink? I'm just saying, I feel like we've discussed having one in the past. I feel like we could find something cool to do. I'm not saying we should buy this one today.
Starting point is 01:01:28 I'm just saying they're out there and they're affordable. They're attainable. Maybe we could hook it up. So we just stream the claw machine and then people take it in turns to control the machine and if, you know, they can win gurpers in it. I do like that idea. I'm just thinking about it as a child. Because you're talking about Jeff, like what's the things you were, you would ask for?
Starting point is 01:01:48 on a smaller scale anytime I saw a claw machine I was a fucking annoyance I wanted in give me a dollar I could take this whole operation down with $2 just give it to me I get so excited
Starting point is 01:02:00 when I was a cat claw machines came a little bit later for me it was it was gumball machines that had 50 cent stickers in them and then you would just get these two pieces of cardboard and you'd open it up and it just have like this fucking
Starting point is 01:02:13 metallic looking sticker that said like rad dude or something oh yeah I'm just thinking about if for like a birthday or something and I got super spoiled $650 just for claw machines oh my god dude this this is the thing when I go to something like pinball
Starting point is 01:02:33 this is the thing that I spend all my money on it is called disco fever I love this machine specifically it's like the only coin pusher that I play it's my favorite they used to have it at the real way up north one the Lake Creek or like whatever it is. That, but apparently they don't make parts for it anymore. And I met the guy who worked on it.
Starting point is 01:02:56 And I'm like, oh yeah, you guys bring it back Disco Fever. And you went, don't ever fucking say that name to me. And I went, all right on, man. Cool. Why? Apparently, like, it's so fucking hard to repair. It was always in disrepair, but they have one at regular pinballs, normal pinballs. And so I go there and I play that.
Starting point is 01:03:14 I love that game. It can't be harder to repair than that freaking horse racing game. I think it might be neck and neck with the horse racing game. Here's a company that sells coin pusher machines. We can just buy new. Yeah, that Angry Birds one is fun. I play that one sometimes. They look on tornado on page two that looks pretty cool.
Starting point is 01:03:30 Oh, cool. Sometimes it's a shame we don't have like an RTX to do stuff at anymore. I imagine if we sold the fuckface coin. But then at RTX we had like an exclusive new coin. But the only way you could get it was to put your fuckface coin in a coin pusher and hope that it came out. crazy. That would be so nuts.
Starting point is 01:03:52 Wow. We should do that. Well, I like, yeah. We'll start selling our fuckface coin now and just say like one day in the future, you may be able to use it for a chance
Starting point is 01:04:06 at a new coin that we made. And a different coin, but you'll probably just give the coin you bought from us back to us. Yeah, and we're going to resell it. You're going to hate it. It's unfortunately way too scammy, but I do like the idea of like a maybe for something in the future. Like buying something that you might be able to use one day. It's like buying a coin for a subscription service for a coin.
Starting point is 01:04:27 You just keep trading it back and forth. They did a collector's edition, I believe was I am 8 bit for blueprints that I bought because it's one of my favorite games of all time. I bought that too. And in it, it has a coupon for future blueprints merchandise. So it's like, I don't know what this is for, but. wait did you arrive no I just ordered it he was so
Starting point is 01:04:51 he was about to get up Gavin was so he was mine it's the only I want it I want it now I'm kidding what up
Starting point is 01:05:02 Gavin it's in a coin pusher and you need to use a fuckface coin to possibly push it out it's the only way now would you buy a gift a piece of I don't know a collectible
Starting point is 01:05:15 or ephemeral like this, Gavin. Do you buy three of them like every Bo Burnham album or you just get the one? Okay. Yeah, I don't want three of anything useless. Like, I have been known to buy multiples of stuff. I like that you got this, Gavin, because there's collectible keys in that thing.
Starting point is 01:05:35 You and I are going to have to talk. We're going to have to exchange what you got. We got to get, Andrew, we got to get your mom involved to make sure it's on the up and up. We'll just do this trade in front of your mom. It's so funny too Because she had no idea what she was doing She was just an adult
Starting point is 01:05:50 But like in terms of value Or like how rare cards were She'd have no clue But I bet she was able to hold the whole thing together Definitely It orchestrated it But it's not She was not an authority on it
Starting point is 01:06:03 But you don't need to know about the cards To know which kid is being a wretched little shit That's true And to see that it's your kid no i would have been the one i was the smallest i would have been very non-confrontational and the tiniest little little person on the street was that back when you could fit hats oh yeah i could definitely fit hats i think and there's a small period of time a post baby baby couldn't fit hats then i got into hat mode for a few years and then out of hat mode baby couldn't fit
Starting point is 01:06:37 hats oh you saw a photo of me as a baby couldn't fit hats do you remember the last hat you Yeah, what age do you grow out of a whole genre of clothing? You know what? The last hat I could fit, which was a miracle, I was able to buy it at the store, I was able to buy it from a lids, it was a BC lion's hat, and it barely fit, but it was during their worst season in like recent years. They had like one win the entire season. Do you think potentially if you kept the hat on, you could still be wearing it, or would
Starting point is 01:07:08 you have busted through the hat? Oh. Or would you've just stifled your head enough that you still? Busted through the hat. I feel like my head is probably like my nose and ears. I feel like it's all growing constant. That's the way you would have ripped through. I don't think ripped through a hat with your head.
Starting point is 01:07:24 It would be discomfort. Not good. It would have been like when a ring gets stuck on a finger and you have to have it cut off. Yes. Yeah. Fabric saw. We still need to make a hat that would fit your cranium. Yeah, we did.
Starting point is 01:07:37 We failed so badly last. Yeah, I just don't even know how we like, I don't know how you approach something. Like, I don't know how to make new garments. Like, we just tell them make hat bigger. Well, we still don't know Andrew's head size because you still haven't scanned it. Oh, right. I need to print your head
Starting point is 01:07:55 and then do some drapery on it or something. Yeah. Someone in the community made me a beanie once, and I think they took two of, like, what the circumferences was to make it work. Did it fit? Yeah, it fit. Comfortably?
Starting point is 01:08:10 Yeah, it was nice. But they had to take, like, They literally doubled, I think, the normal size. I've met you several times, and I never once thought, bloody hell, your head's big. It's just like you had a normal head to me. I think it's sneaky. I think it's sneaky big.
Starting point is 01:08:32 Can't we just get you like, like one of these things that you just cut the hole so it fits you? You like Bremel it out? Yeah. Yeah. We just like, you get that. That's like the base and you go, well, it's not big enough. And then you go, oh, don't worry, I'll just carve this out. And then, yeah, that should make your head look really small as well.
Starting point is 01:08:52 Yeah, you can, you can look like, you can look like this beautiful woman with her giant. It's the J.C. Penny sports fan shop. Really? J.C. Penny sells a giant hat. These, dude, when you search oversized hats, these big. These pictures are fucking killing me. I've already used these as a thumbnail, but I've got to do it again. Like, surely, you're just going to ruin whoever's behind you.
Starting point is 01:09:24 Just going to ruin that day at the game. Yeah. Nick, look, look, you can get the Longhorns one. Sweet, they're doing great. Andrew, it seemed like we gave you a suggestion for a hat solution, and you're being pretty quiet about it. He's looking. I'm just the value, I'm thinking about it.
Starting point is 01:09:40 I like to imagine that their head will eventually fit that hat. That it's small, but that it's like getting shoes when you're a kid. It's like, oh, you got like a little bit of room to grow. Yeah. How about this question, Andrew? Let's say we found a hat that fit you perfectly. Okay. It's not a comically large hat.
Starting point is 01:09:58 It's just a hat that's double the circumference of a normal hat. So it fits your head snugly and perfectly. Okay. So you have your choice of any sports team that you represent with your very first adult-sized hat. What team do you pick? That's easy. I'm a big
Starting point is 01:10:17 Vancouver Golden Ice fan this season. First game on Friday of this week. Cannot wait. They got a fucking sick logo. Vancouver Golden Ice would be the team.
Starting point is 01:10:29 PWHL. Is that a hockey? That's a hockey team? Female hockey league. Oh, yeah. Okay. Their first season is on this Friday.
Starting point is 01:10:39 It's an awesome logo. So GoldenEye is a bird? It's, yeah, I guess, like a duck. Which I learned from that. I'd only heard GoldenEye in the context of Bond movies. Yeah. Ian Fleming's house. That's an animal? It's crazy.
Starting point is 01:10:56 I really like this hat that looks like you can get it at the airport. Just a hat. It says Vancouver. Vancouver. What time's the game? I don't know. I need to check that. I'll have to look at that later.
Starting point is 01:11:10 I just know it's on Friday. And I'm very excited. Are you going to be watching it? No, I'll just be watching from home. Okay. But I'm excited. I'll leave in the team. It's fun to have like a new team to cheer for your area.
Starting point is 01:11:22 Yeah. That's what the Blackhawks, uh, I mean, that's what the red wings are for me. I'm gonna, I'm cutting that out, sending it to Burn Dog. I'm sending that to Burn Dog. He's gonna post it on the, he's going to post it on the Red Wing subreddit. Dude, he's going to get you. He's going to slag me. He's going to get got.
Starting point is 01:11:40 They're going to get me good. I said the wrong one. But it is. It's fun. You don't know anything about them and you're learning and you don't know who all the players are yet and you're starting to figure it out
Starting point is 01:11:53 and then you're starting to recognize names. And then, yeah, you start to discover the storylines and who hates who. Yeah, discovery is always fun. It's like a whole other level when the team didn't exist. And this is like the first game of the team and being able to follow their history
