Hello and welcome to another episode of the Regulation Podcast. This is number 63. My name is Jeff Ramsey with me, as always, Andrew Panton, Nick Schwartz, Gavin Free, and Eric Badoor. Andrew, go. I'm going. I'm literally muted to cough right when you said Andrew, go. That's perfect. We are here on episode 63, and we've been doing a lot of recording earlier in the week.

We've been playing FPC Firebreak, having a lot of fun. And when we were done with that, I said to Jeff, because you're leaving today, the day that we're recording this to go somewhere, I said, when are you leaving? Are we doing? Because we have let's play scheduled at our normal time. And then we have a podcast scheduled later. I said, are you plan on doing the podcast that the scheduled time or the earlier time? And you said, oh, and I think the scheduled time, which is later in the day than where we are now. And then I said, okay, well, then maybe I'll pitch that we do something else. slot since we've already recorded three this week. And you're like, that's a great idea. And then like a day later in the Slack you posted. So can we record the podcast at the let's play slot? And I went, oh, something happened. So it's not that something happened. It's that when you and I had that conversation and you said, would you like to record the podcast in the regular slot or whatever? So for the audience at large, we have a calendar, digital calendar. It's on a computer. We all have access to it. And for the entirety of the regulation,

podcast and most of F*** Face, the scheduled time to record the podcast is at 3 p.m. Central time on Thursdays. However, I think it's been a year since we've recorded at that time. Damn near. We almost always record it at 11 a.m. during the let's play slot because we figured out early on that we blow through a lot of energy in let's plays and then we don't feel like we have 100% necessarily for the podcast and we don't want that. that to happen. So we never made the change on the calendar, but if so facto, we've been recording the podcast at 11 a.m. for essentially the entire run of regulation. So when you asked me that question, in my head, I was thinking about the practical time that we record, not the 3 p.m.

scheduled time that we haven't used. I'm going to push back on this because I said at the 9 a.m. Let's play time is that one where you think we'll have to record the podcast or like I specifically stated times. Everything you else said was correct. We officially switched it, though, like a month ago. We said, I'm going to have to, I'm going to have to miss remember that and say that I don't remember it that way. We also, to be clear, like, it's not, there are times where it's like we've recorded one let's play and then the podcast. Like, what you're saying generally is true where we prioritize a podcast, but there are some exceptions within the past year where we've recorded the show. But anyway, continue. Well, that was it. The problem is, I'm not worried

about getting in trouble with you dickheads. You guys don't scare me. My wife, however, I fucked up and put my foot in my mouth with my wife the other day. She said, I said, she said, what, uh, what time you record in the podcast on Thursday? And I understand that I'm conflating the thing I just said. When she said it, the first thing that popped into my mind is the scheduled calendar time 3 p.m. And I said, I don't know, normal 3 p.m. time. And that's when she got angry at me, which is a very rare thing. thing in my life. Emily has been mad at me maybe six times in the eight years we've been together. She got genuinely annoyed with, I know, right? Patience of a fucking saint is how.

She, uh, she, it's not, she doesn't even put up with me. It's almost like she likes me most of the time. It's insane. But in this instance, she was understandably miffed because she said, excuse me? 3 p.m. No. And then I, and as soon as she recoiled in horror from my 3 p.m. statement, I realized, oh, I just fucked up, we actually are going to record at 11 a.m. She's mad because I told her we could leave at 3 p.m. because she gets off work at 2.45 and she was like, I want to be on the road at 3 p.m. because we're driving up to Michigan because we're taking the bulldog. And so I immediately go, oh, I fucked up and I tried to fix it. But in that moment when you go, oh, I misspoke, what I meant to say was it's already too late because now you just look

like you're on your heels, and you're just fumbling to get out of trouble and making shit up, and it wasn't. And so it ended with Emily telling me that she has tried to let me be a big boy for long enough, and now she's going to deal directly with Eric when it comes to my schedule. Oh, what? Yeah. Oh, shit. I mean, what's the other solution?

You blew it, dude. I blew it. I put my foot in my mouth. Three, it's so we can block off the whole day. I know. Is the reason that that's there. Why wasn't it as simple as going three? Oh, sorry, I mean 11.

Right, exactly. Because I'm not smooth like that. And when, first off, and then secondly, I'm not used to seeing Emily's eyes do that thing they did when I saw anger. And so it caught me completely off guard. And I'm like, why would something innocuous as the number three cause a, and then I realized, oh, we're leaving a three. And so then at that point, like, I am. I'm seven years old and I'm scared. You know, I'm not thinking straight.

You say, then that's when you start to go, but no, actually, what I meant to say was, and you start to try to backtrack, and then that just looks like you're covering up for a lie. Suddenly you're slamming your dick in a toilet. Suddenly you're slamming your dick in a toilet, yeah, and your mom took away your Metallica albums. Did you consider recording from the car?

You could have sat in the pasture seat, hopped on the Discord and your phone. Got Craig to get some audio going. The thing is, is I was always planning to record the podcast at 11 a.m. Now, the reason I sent that text, or that slack, is because she made me. She was like, are you sure the guys know? And I'm like, yeah, we always do it. And she's like, I don't think so.

I think you need to be specific with them. She was right. And I was like, okay, so I sent the slack and all is good. She's very correct, because if you didn't send that slack, then I would have pushed for us to do like a draft in the 9 a.m. slot. But now we always do the podcast first every week. No, that's not. It's not always true.

We officially moved it. So, so, so, I agree with what Gavin's saying, because that's been requested. However, yes, like a month ago it was requested. So that's what we've been trying to do. However, every time I bring it up, there has been pushback almost every week to try to get, well, maybe we'll do a let's play, and then we can sandwich in this other one. It has been a near nonstop thing, and then we end up doing the podcast first anyway. I agree with Gavin.

We all agree to change it. I don't know what. Me too. That's what I thought, and that's the way I've been operating, 100%. The normal time of the podcast is 11 on Thursday. Yeah. Okay. And has been for like maybe six weeks.

Yeah, about a month. I have a question. It's not on the calendar. It's not displayed that way. That doesn't matter. And we haven't recorded at 3 p.m. in a fucking year, you don't. No, I agree with that. Hey, Jeff.

Hey, Jeff. We actually need to have a scheduling conversation. So if you can get Emily in here, if you just want to take a backseat, that'd be fine. She's at work right now, but yeah, I'll bring her in next time. Eric, Eric, as a producer, you, I think, have some quite dog shit calendar etiquette. I have, I completely understand. I completely understand what you're saying. The Thursday is the full day for our recording and I leave it the way that it is because you guys request changes and I'm not going to nitpick for us. the calendar for RT

was so everyone else stayed off our backs this is a full day block off for us that is all that is it's useful to know what's in what order the only confusion

I have is I'm not sure if it's more on Ville time or your time like I'm still I'm working on that that's my only hurdle right

I see three I gotta figure out more on Ville time which three though I will say the audience really latched on to goof time their goof time as they call it

They are loving it. I saw somebody, did we put it in the slack or something where somebody suggested a clock that Andrew could change, so we're all in regulation time? That is the, that is the single craziest idea I think anyone's ever had, and it's the idea that I think I love the most. That's what I said when I wrote it down. Can you imagine if we had, and all of the regulation listeners had a clock that's only on Andrew time, and we only scheduled stuff on that time.

So it'd be like, Sloppy Joe is at 4.15, and everyone knows the exact point. That was the entire point of what I was suggesting. Yeah, I mean, as a product, though, that'd be crazy. This is not crazy if you only live in Moronville. Or whatever, idiot town. I don't remember what it was called. Goof Town. It's not a problem, though. Goof Town.

It was Andrews Goof World. Andrews Goof World. It's easy. A lot of people on my side about goof time. Just a rare occurrence. A lot of people on Andrew's side on goof time. Myself included, by the way. But, uh, anyway, I, uh, you're on Andrew's side.

I'm also going to be on Eric's side for whatever he said a second ago about scheduling because I can't be on the wrong side of Eric and Emily at the same time. That's a lot. You guys are all on the wrong side of me except Andrew. Andrew's the only one. Me and Andrew are on the same side. No, absolutely. Goof time, baby.

Now, everyone, everyone, shut up. I'm against everyone this July. July, I'm against all of you. The only time that I'm with you again is when we have the Gerplers on sale August 1st. Holy shit. I'm very excited about the Gerplers.

Wow. These are my favorite. gurpillers that we've ever made. Stealth dropped a gurpler announcement at the beginning of the episode. We never do that. Yeah. Do you know why I did that? Because this comes out for the goddamn 23rd of July. Oh shit. And we told everyone that the gurplers were going to come out in early July. So that's why I'm letting everyone know now. Friday, August 1st, let's say probably 1 p.m. I think it's 1 p.m. Central time. It is now. That what I don't know what time that isn't goof world time, but that's what time we're going to be releasing the new gurplers,

the cosmic gurp, very excited about it. We're going to have a live stream on twitch.tv slash the regulation pod, probably starting around 1230. Who knows what we're doing? We're very excited to have a big release that day for the gurplers for you. Gavin, how did you like filming that video? I liked it. I only wasted two apples filming it. You didn't eat the apples? Well, it landed on the floor and rolled through a bunch of powder paint. I didn't really leave one of year after that. That's a good call. What color did you pound or paint the apple?

It's just kind of brown. It's just like all the powder paint. What color does it all paint make? Black. Brown, I think. Yeah. I'm the wrong guy to ask. Speaking of colors making colors,

did you guys see somebody did the mashed potato test on the subreddit and they combined blue and yellow mashed potatoes and it made green mashed potatoes? I didn't Yeah Totally worked Interesting Beautifully I still think we should do it

Do our own experiments Because I really want to see Bernie paint a masterpiece With potatoes I just like the idea of him Requesting a color And then We're just in the lab next to him

Trying to come up with it How Going back on the GERPL Apple video That you filmed Gavin How long did it take to shoot that Was it longer or shorter Than the first one you did?

Sure Probably sure Wow So you're like honing in your gurpill throwing skills. You're become an elite at a thing that is useless. Are you just talking about the apple throwing section or the entire thing? I guess the entire thing. Yeah, it's about three hours.

Wow. What was the last one? Yeah. Probably four. Four hours? Okay. Are you as happy with the result of this one as the first one? Because the first one, the way it impacted was not what you were necessarily going for, but it looked awesome.

How do you feel about how? how this one turned out. I was okay with it. You're okay with it? Yeah, I mean, it's never all gonna go perfect, but I did a little, little bit of flare at the end that worked well, so I thought that's the take of using. Did you try, is it a side throw like last time, or is it a vertical drop into the gurp? It's a side throw.

Okay. Do you want to just watch it? I'd love to see it. Is it done? Is it ready? No, it's not edited, but I feel like you're asking me so many questions. I might just want to show it to you. I'd love to see it.

I loved the last one. Yeah. That could maybe be the way we announced it to the audience. Let's see it. I think he just did. Yeah. Announce what? Like if it came out before

this podcast. Oh. Oh, yeah. Just stick it on YouTube this week or something. I see. Yeah, do it. I want to see this apple drop or throw. I wasn't sure if you'd go for a drop

because the whole bobbin for apples. And with how thick the Gerpler is, I feel like an apple would fit. You think you could bob for apples? I know, not Bob. You couldn't bob, but I think an apple would fit in it if dropped in. It'd be a tough bob.

I've got, I've got, like, I can't bob. No, I can't either. Terrible bobber. My nose is a real problem for the, for the bobbage. That's interesting because I feel the same about mine, but mine's unbreakable, and I feel like yours is just an accident waiting to happen. There's not a, like, when I,

look at your nose, I just think like that, I would be worried if that was my nose. If you walk into a door, it's done. His nose are the door? Probably both. I don't think it goes well for either of. My nose does bleed like

an absolute pig when it gets hurt. Oh, man. That doesn't shock me. You would be a terrible boxer, I think. It would just instantly shatter to be a mess. It'd be disgusting. It would not be good. I wonder if somebody could hurt their fist on your nose.

Oh, yeah. It would hurt to punch me in the face, I think. Hold on to that. That's good. I have a question for Andrew. Okay. Okay, I'm going to type something in the Discord. You ready?

Okay. Andrew, what's this? Interesting. For those who are not watching, I'll explain what I've typed in just a second. Andrew, what's that? Huh. It looks like the language from a rival. No, what is the character on the keyboard called?

I love this show so much. this show so much. On which keyboard? What do you mean which keyboard? My Apple one or the Windows one? Both the same. Huh.

Can I get a clue? Dude, I'm trying to stay quiet. I'm losing it. It comes in full and semi-versions. Because the reason I ask is I've got a clip. I'm going to play it for you right now. Okay

Hit me with this clip Ow I don't think that's the clip I don't think that's the clip I just realized that my headphones are paired to my phone and I turn the volume up really loud

and I've been played in my own ears I gotta say it's a lot of incompetency coming from a guy who's trying to come at somebody else I'm wearing new headpoints. Still waiting for your GERPOL throw clip. Don't know how to post or share your audio clip.

Gavin got himself while trying to get Andrew. He just keeps stepping on Rakes. Here we go. Any second. Any second, buddy. Hit us with the clip. Make a fool out of me. I just won't play it out.

Really, really stick it to Andrew. Don't edit a single moment of this, Nick. Nick, if you could edit in another 45 seconds of dead air, that'd be awesome. The podcast would be over if you did that. This is, this is brutal. Here we go. Third time's a chart. Are we getting the GERPL video finally?

WWW dot H-T-P-S double dot slash. Oh, I heard a double dot. Oh, my God. I didn't do. I didn't hear really hear any of that. What is that from? What episode is that? That's this most recent episode, I think.

That's the one that just came out. Yeah. No way. Yeah. Is that what? No. I didn't even catch that. Double dot.

It's a double dot. It's a double dot. Double dot. It's two dots. Well, why didn't you call it double dot when I just posted it in the Discord? I guess if you asked me to describe it, I'd say it was the double dot, but I don't think that that's what it's called. So you call that, you call that double dot? Yeah, I just go with the double dot.

Got a double dot. Got a double dot right there. Double dotting. There's dipping dots and there's double dots and that's a double dot. Dippin' dot is a space food. A real fupa situation here, Gavin. Huh. Uh.

Would you like to give me some expanded knowledge on the double dot? Would you like to broaden my horizons? You want to know what it's called? Please. It's a colon. That's a body thing. What? That's a body thing, a colon.

That's inside the body. Okay, well that, well then, I've got a second question for you then. No, I'm just, I'm being, I'll be goofy on the inside of the body. I know, it's colon, yeah. You knew that? It's a different thing. I didn't, I, I often forget the name of that one. And most ones, to be honest, I got the comma, I got the comma locked in.

Let me look at my keyboard. We can run through what I know. Well, what's this? Oh, that's the semi, I'm guessing based on what Jeff said. A semi what? Col. Okay, so what would you call it if Jeff hadn't just said what he had said? I'm just not fucking with that.

I'm just acting like, that's not existing. Just getting rid of it. Don't need it. I feel like it's rarer to me in use than the colon. Yeah. I have a thing, unless you want me to go through this keyboard. No, no, okay. That's fine.

Okay. I, because there are times where I don't know if things I'm learning, everybody knows, much like the shift capitalized thing. That was so, like to me, that was like, oh, that's like a keyboard trick thing, but is such an unbelievably, I guess, common thing to know that people think that I am lying about that. I am going to start tracking when I learn things about things, and I'll post a little list of things I've learned. some of it might be a guess for this and you guys can tell me if you want to expand on what any of these things are things I learned

pinball machine difficulties why seasons Rascal Flats is a lie I don't know what the bottom one means Rascal Flats is a lie his fucking name isn't Rascal Flats his goddamn names like Gary something he's got a lame-ass name

I don't even know what that is he's a musician no rascal flats is a band yeah i thought it was the name of the guy that was singing in rascal flats i thought his name was rascal flats and it was just named after him the band what are you talking about rascal flats is like always

three guys i understand but i thought they just named the band after him this podcast at one point was going to be called andrew but there's five people on it you're allowed to have more people than what a name is it's not a restriction. Rascal Flats, there's just always three

of them and unfortunately they always look like this. Man, those deeds have had a lot of work done on their faces. Hey, life is a highway. I was scrolling on TikTok and I got a thing of this guy, Rascal Flats,

a.k.a. Gary singing a song with A.com. Not his name. But I thought it was his name. I was like, oh, that's the Rascal Flats guy, and then I saw it was on a page named Gary something, and I was like, what the fuck is that? Who's Gary? And I clicked it, it was clearly his

channel. Blew my mind. I thought he was Rascal Flats. Also, that A-Con song is terrible. But that's not a human name. What do you mean? It's not. We have people named like Apple Shishabobabob. You can name whatever you want. That's a phenomenal bad.

There are no rules on names. Just fucking middle name is Laser. You can just do what you want. He's got me there, yeah. Yeah, but typically, if I hear a... Also, celebrity names. They don't have to be real. They don't have to be legally binding.

I just have always known him as Rascal Flats. Did you know that Dizzy Rascal? That's also not his real name. Yeah, I get... Like, I've never thought about that. If you would have told me it was his real name, I would have been fine with that. So it's Rascal Flats and not Rascal and the Flats.

Interesting. That is true. Rascall's Flats. His name is Gary LaVox. And that's also not his real name. That's not his real name? You thought his real name might be Gary LaVox? Why wouldn't it be?

It's multiple layers deep. What's his real name? Gary Wayne Vernon Jr. That's a fucking serial killer name. That's a bad name. I just want to add, like, do you think like Bono's name is Bono? Well, do you think his name is you two? Wait.

Hey, what's you too doing out here? That guy. Let's take a step back on this, though. Is Cher's name Share? Yeah. So why can't Bono's name be Bonna? I'm not saying, I'm not saying it can't. I'm asking if you think it is.

Oh, yeah, I would, I just, yeah, I guess I would have always assumed. I've never really considered he'd have another name. But if someone was like, hey, Bono's name is actually Steve, I wouldn't have been as shocked. So wait, was that dude not born the edge? It's actually his middle name. I think that's so cool I love that it's too Got Bono and the Edge

and then Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr. That's like half that band just went, we're just here to play the music. Don't worry about us. Get to Toronto's main venues like Budweiser Stage

Order yours on the Tim's app today. participating restaurants in Canada for a limited time. So why seasons, Andrew? So that's the thing. We're going to have to work through this as a crew.

As a crew. Because I saw as a comment on a Patreon thing, does Andrew know why seasons happen? Which is something I just have never thought about. So you just learned, you just learned like this week, how the seasons work? Well, no, I haven't done any Googling. I figured I could talk through what I've been thinking of it. Okay. Okay, so you made a list called Things Andrew Learned, and on it you put something you haven't learned yet.

That's true because it felt silly to make a second list of things that Andrew needs to learn about. It just felt like too much, but it also felt like the best content would be me talking through this with all of you. Incredible. That was the evaluation. I just feel like you've already learned the Rascal Flats thing. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. August 1st, new Gerbler.

This is why I like bringing this up because I learned about... I thought I knew Rascal Flats and the Gary thing but it went a layer deeper. I've been thinking a lot about seasons and why seasons occur. And this is what I'm thinking. And there's part of it that I'm still trying to work out.

But I'm guessing... Because some places don't have seasons. Some places it's always just hot. It's always cold. And I'm assuming... So we have a day and we have a day we have a night cycle and if I learned anything from the movie the core the earth needs to be rotating if it does it if it stops rotating that's a bad thing it's like an egg that never gets

flipped exactly but also there's a rotation of the planets they're moving around everything is held in place by gravity or something uh and so i'm assuming that the day night cycle is a full rotation of the earth that is my guess Okay, okay. Okay, keep it going, keep it going. And that a year is like a rotation, like a full rotation of the orbit that they make. Okay, keep it going.

So my guess is that the reason why some places have seasons and some don't are probably related to the coverage in which the sun is in the rotation of the earth and or the geography, shaping those areas Can you give me just a quick rundown

of what places you like what like to you what are the places that have seasons like when you think of it like this place has seasons and give me a list of places that don't have seasons.

L.A. doesn't have seasons. Okay. Texas to me I don't feel like it has seasons. Florida doesn't have seasons. Okay. New York has seasons. I have seasons. I don't think Vegas has seasons.

Vegas always seems hot. Arizona definitely doesn't have seasons. All the desert climates. Seasonless. Okay. So when you had to do the Raymond So-Mere thing because we lost power for like two weeks, what season were we in?

I'm just curious. That's a storm. I feel like... You know what? Hey, when you're right, you're right. What kind of storm? It was a snowstorm, which made it, I think, especially...

In the middle of summer, which is crazy. No, in winter, but you know what I mean. Not seasons by the definition of which seasons occur, but like the actual climate difference in which one experiences in a season. Just to jump in really quickly, I will say one of the main refrains I hear from people when they're expressing discomfort or discontent living in Austin is that they miss seasons. Yes, I feel like that is a vernacular thing. Well, although technically incorrect, people describe certain.

areas of the U.S. or wherever as being void of season. Although seasons are occurring. Yes. How am I doing? Yeah, how's he doing, guys? But on a planetary level, what causes seasons in places that, in your opinion, have seasons? See, that has been sort of an interesting thing to me of I view where I live is definitely having seasons.

It becomes hot. It becomes cold. There's snow. It's not an irregularity to kind of have the full spectrum. but LA does not and it is very close so my guess is that it is either something to do with the like positioning within the planet of like well here's the thing because I was thinking it might be a sea level thing could be an altitude thing but Colorado is a seasonal place I believe and that is like they whatever you hear about Colorado it's about how high above sea

level this. How does homeschooling work? Like, who, what, what's... Here's the thing about this. I was thinking about that. These are things I remember learning, but I just don't ever think about that. So it's gone. Sure, sure, sure, sure. Like, I specifically remember these lessons, and I know I've gone through this process. I just so rarely tap into this information. But it's like a fundamental of everyone's life. It is, but not in how I need to experience life.

Because I can't change the seasons. It is a thing that is controlled by science and is beyond my personal control, so I don't have to think about it. Yeah, I probably remember about 8% of what I learned in school at 50. Okay, but do you remember seasons? I do. I do remember seasons. Interesting. You know what, this is not been the helpful lesson I thought I thought to get some guidance. I feel like I've been very vulnerable here.

I appreciate your vulnerability. Yeah, I agree. Do you remember anything about the way the Earth is positioned at various times of the year? Well, that's sort of what I meant by like, I know things orbit and move around. What things orbit? The planets, like the sun and whatnot.

And the moon controls the tides. And that's like a proximity thing, right? Yeah. Yeah. Gravity of the moon, yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Did I answer your question?

I'll be honest, I don't remember. What did I ask you? I think Gavin might be reeling so hard. Yeah, he can't, like, put it together right now. See, I thought as Gavin being the science guy, he would love this. Gavin, do you love this as the science guy?

I'm just trying to delve in without just saying all the information. because I feel like you do know it. I don't think I do. That was the whole point. I mean, asking this. I don't think, here's the thing. I think you're trying to have me unlock a cabinet in my brain,

and I'm telling you, that key's gone. So even, like, I agree, I probably have had this knowledge. You're not finding the key. Okay. You can turn all the lights on. The key is not opening. or the door is not opening there is no key

that's Eric just posted photo of a file cabinet with the head that's me Gavin why don't you why don't you pick the lock for him real fast okay so in Discord I'm typing something okay imagine

the O is the sun okay looks like IO Interactive almost okay yeah you're brain I don't know man and the earth is the the tilted

the slash okay right so the top of the slash is North Pole Bottom of the slash is South Pole. Yeah, North himself. Yeah, let's think about that. So it's rotating, but it's tilted at like 23 degrees or something.

Okay. So as you can see, when the Earth on the left, say that's July. Okay. The North pole is toward towards the Sun. But let's say in December when the Earth is on the other side of the Sun. See that on the right of the Earth? The North Pole is tilted away from the Sun. the sun. Okay. So there's less light. Got it. The seasons are determined by how much direct

sunlight touches an area. There we go. So that makes sense. That totally makes sense. That's sort of what I was assuming. If it was this and the earth rotated but perfectly upright, now that looks like IO interactive. That's kind of like a tie fighter to me. I can see tie fighter too. I just have been playing a lot of hitman. so I got eye on the brain. Well, that makes sense. I'm glad we could clear that up. I'm sure all the people listening

and I've been speculating, wondering the same thing. This is Darth Vader's tie fighter. It's the coolest. There's going to be a lot of screenshots for this week's episode that are just from the Discord. Just asky.

Yeah, so the, when it's like directly in between those, That's when it's the equinoxes. So you know that everywhere has seasons, right? Yes, absolutely. I didn't mean literal definition of what the word means. I meant more in the social dynamics of the frame. Right.

So when we asked you what do seasons mean, what you started saying was not what seasons mean, but colloquially what seasons mean? Yes. Got it. Just wanted to be clear. Just want to get that. Oh, absolutely.

Brain filing cabinet. it all the way open. Andrew's a pretty colloquial kind of guy. I think we know that. Absolutely. Definitely. That's the way it happens in Andrew's goof world or whatever. So, yeah, it's fine. As the mayor of his goof town.

Andrew, what are your pinball machine difficulties? I didn't know. You could raise it up and down. I assume that the angle in which pinball machines are is like locked in and non-adjustable. But I learned that you can like make the machine be more at a tilt so it's harder. or flatter, so it's easier. So the ball rolls slower.

Oh, I also didn't know that. Didn't know that. There we go. Gavin, you're the science guy and the pinball expert. Thoughts on that? Yeah. I wouldn't say it's always directly related to difficulty, though. Like, some shots are going to be easier when it's a faster ball.

Sure. Just depends on the game. But it's always going to be easier if the ball moves slower. Yeah. And you can control the difficulty in other areas, too. can be like, oh, it takes three hits of this thing to qualify this mode instead of Oh, wow. Okay. That's cool.

There's a lot of difficulty settings in the software, too. Is that more recent? Not that recent. Okay. Like, I don't fault you for any kind of lack of pinball knowledge, honestly, because I'm still learning about pinball. I didn't know that you're supposed to, like, fucking beat the shit out of the machine while you're using it,

but, like, not to the point where it gets mad at you. And the machines got mad at you really fast. Yep. There was a time before flippers where beating the shit out of the machine was the only way you controlled the ball. I had no idea. Did not know that there were pinball machines

without flippers until we went to that museum. And then I went, oh boy, I think stick and wheel might have been the pinnacle of fun at some point. And that's a real bummer. I mean that Tyson got so powerful. Big pinball guy. Big early pinball guy. Pinball guy.

Crazy. He's throwing hooks. So, I called Gavin last week on the phone, which means one of two things. Either I got terrible news that I had to tell him, or I did something so humiliating and embarrassing, I immediately had to tell somebody he is always that person. Okay. In this instance, it was the latter.

Do you remember we recorded the podcast last week? We did two episodes. I sure do. And just before we go deeper into this, I feel like this is an important. important lore moment. I'm assuming the last time we heard about you and Gavin talking on the phone, it went horribly to the point where you both felt like maybe the friendship was over. At least that's the last conversation we had in the context of this show. Oh, is that when we were like calling each other while we were on the phone and then the calls too. Well, no, it was just like you two

were, it was just like, I guess, awkward and like the timing was off and it just felt strange and you're both like, what was that about? So has there been, how many phone calls have we corrected that? Have there been multiple calls since that call and we just haven't heard about it. I think so. I think there's been maybe, there's probably been two maybe, you know, checking calls or something. I just wanted to see if there was a call between these two because that was a big moment. So I'm glad you guys are back on as phone friends. What really does that help though is that my phone just doesn't work where I live. Yeah. I got no signal. Yeah, we, Gavin and I don't have a phone kind of friendship, uh, for sure. But it's only got to be important information like somebody's dying or,

I just did something to myself. In this instance, I did something to myself that I can honestly say I never considered being a possibility of a thing a guy could do to himself. And I can't believe I made it 50 literal years before I did it to myself. But when we recorded the podcast last week, the back-to-backs, I had to piss like crazy at the end of it. And I also wanted to let the dog out. I have a bathroom right next to my office, right?

but I got done recording and I was thinking about letting the dog out as I was running down the stairs I realized I got to piss first so I ran to the downstairs bathroom and you know you do that thing when you like when you when you've really got to go your your dick starts peeing like the second it touches air like like I pulled my I was wearing swim trunks right so I pulled my trunks down and my dick starts an arc of pee the second it touches free air it knows that it's going in generally the right direction and it's my job to kind of hone it in and get it into the bowl right it's like it's like when somebody drowns in a movie and they get the air it's like yeah exactly the pee equivalent exactly exactly and it's uh there's nothing you can do

about it once you your pee your penis has decided it's time to go it is time to go you can't you know uh toothpaste is out of the tube out of the dick tube uh as it were and so i immediately start an arc of pissing like i can feel it coming out and i'm like this is going to cut it close because my dick isn't totally free yet and I'm like you know this is like split second decisions you're making but it feels like it's taking an eternity so I'm like looking at my dick

and my shorts and I'm pulling the shorts down and I can see the pee start to come out and then something happened that has never happened to me like I said I didn't know it was possible for it to happen my shirt somehow fell in front and wrapped around my dick and so I pissed all over myself

my shirt acted as like a piss filter And I pissed into my t-shirt and my shorts and all back on to me. And I completely and totally pissed into me. Never in my life. Never in a million years that I consider that my shirt would trap my penis on the way down. And then I would be too late to do anything about it. And I would just piss through my shirt. But the second I dried my hands off, before I wash my hands immediately and then I called Gavin.

And then I cleaned up and took a shower. But, yeah, never. That's a new one. I got to say, I'm happy in the sense that here I can be 50 years old and life's still full of a few mysteries, you know? We're breaking the mold on this show because in recent years, I've shit my foot and you pissed your shit. Oh, God. The worst game of operation. Has that by any chance happened to any of you guys before?

No. Very close. What? I think I told this about 13 years ago to podcast, but I had surgery on my nuts, as you all know. I had a testicular torsion, so they untwisted it, shoved it back in. And then I woke up desperate for a piss because I've been chugging water because the tube down my throat, like hurt my throat a little bit.

I just had like dry throat, so I was just chugging water. And then I woke up the next morning, still kind of out of it, still like slightly in pain, and I just needed to piss. I had a gown on, so I shuffled to the bog. And like Jeff said, as you see the toilet, as the toilet is getting bigger in your field of view, you need to piss more and more. It's like it just ramps up exponentially. Started pissing.

And I would say as the piss was sort of around my ball area, so very close to the tip, I realized, oh, I've just had surgery on my nuts. Haven't even looked down there yet. And I look down and my bollocks are in this like mesh net. And my cock is taped to my stomach. Oh, my God. Oh. And it looked like this.

Oh. You know, it looked like zero gravity droplets. I pissed, like, directly up, sent to me as from my own face. And it was all just like arcing. I let back, it was just like, I could see the apex right in front of my eyes. It's like, it's like you woke up and didn't know you turned inverted computer. turned inverted controls on.

Yeah. Yeah. So I'm suddenly, I'm suddenly like dodging my piss and ripping tape and shit off my nuts and cock. And I angled it down and then had to spend about five minutes mop it up the area and the walls. Yeah. It went full bellagio.

That's really impressive. No, I've never, I don't think I've ever had a shirt issue. I definitely haven't peed vertically. Can happen. it sounds like it these are dangerous something to look out for I don't think the chances are very good but they're they're not zero how long was the pee was it a long pee because you really had the pee yeah yeah no it was every every piss I have is a long

that's so funny you just being stuck in your shirt just going like oh man yeah oh no yeah I just kind of shuffled over to on top of the toilet and just kind of try yeah it was oh I had to mop and those old things take a shower. I had to take a shower because I pissed myself at three in the afternoon.

You don't have to call me first. You can't do all the clean up and then call me. No, I want to strike while the iron's hot. I'm sorry. It's like the time

I ran, I shit the sofa and then I ran to tell you about it before I cleaned it up. I just like, I got to tell you something about our friendship that requires me to tell you

immediately faster than any other person on earth. I really appreciate it. Yeah. That's an unbreakable bond. It is. Can I ask, what did you do with the shirt? I washed it.

I did laundry. But I mean, did you, like, throw it in the hamper, or was it, like, right into the washer? No, I just went ahead and put it right in to the laundry and just did a full load. I was a white T-shirt, so I just did a full load. Well, it was a white and yellow T-shirt. It's a white and yellow T-shirt. So I just did a full load of laundry, yeah. I know, I know Eric's not on my side right now, and he doesn't like me because of July or whatever.

But I don't like any of you, just to be clear, I don't like any of you except Andrew because of July. I did something that I enjoyed with Eric yesterday that I figured we should talk about on this podcast. Absolutely. I was about to ask. Eric, what do we do yesterday? We went to a bar in, I don't even know what neighborhood you'd call that. It was on 12th inch of cone. It's a bar called Nunya, Nunya Neighborhood Bar.

Like, Nunya fucking business. Exactly. Like N-U-N-Y-A. It is, it's a very cool bar that, um, the owner actually made a post in the subreddit. The day we're recording is the day after he made the post. He's like, hey, this is a bar that I opened that was inspired, uh, by regulation. I sent it to Jeff and I'm like, dude, we got to go. What are you doing today?

So me and Jeff met up, went down. and checked out Nunya, which is a very cool bar that has a themed, like, menu that is themed around the Billy Ripkin face card. Oh, sweet. They also have a $2 hot dog on Wednesday, which is when we went. And it's probably, Jeff, correct me if I'm wrong, the best hot dog that we've eaten all year? No shit. This is the best hot dog I have eaten all year. And I'm not saying this because a guy themed a bar around our podcast. It is legitimately good. It had queso and pica to

gaio on it. And that alone fucking elevated this hot dog. Also, the tater tots are pretty goddamn good as well. The chips and queso were great. He has Coors Banquet on draft. It's everything I could hope for in a neighborhood bar. So me and Jeff had the idea. We got to go check it out. We got to get a dog. Let's stop in. Maybe he's there.

Oh, he was there. Definitely. And immediately was like, oh, shit. Oh, hey, what's going on? Talk to him for a little while about him opening this bar and all this stuff. It's a great area, a great spot. And me and Jeff are like, hey, let's bring him some stuff. We brought him two gerplers.

We brought him face baseball. And we brought him a slop o'clock, right, Jeff? Well, I grabbed what I thought was a slop a clock. Turns out it was a cookbook. So we brought him a cookbook. What? We went, dude, here you go. A slop a clock.

He's like, I'm going to hang this in the bar. And then he opened the box and he went, what the hell is this? And we went, so that's the cookbook. The cookbook and the slop a clock are both in similar white pack, like boxes. I see. Yeah. Did he commit and nail the cookbook to the wall? No, you know what?

I didn't see him do that. But he said he's going to turn. I talked to him a little bit yesterday. He said he's going to turn the girl. burpler into a tip jar. So if you go to hell yeah, and you tip, you can tip into a gurpler. He also told me, he sent me a picture. He's like, hey, thanks for stopping by.

I appreciate you guys, because I posted about it. And he's like, hey, just FYI, you guys missed a crazy rush. He sent me a picture. There are like 40 people inside that bar. Oh, my God. It's a small bar. It was packed. He's like, yeah, you just missed it.

Also, I don't know if you saw the outside. Jeff, we didn't go. I didn't know there was a backyard. It's huge. There's a giant TV, and he's like, oh, yeah, we're going to do stuff for game days here. Also, we're going to do Love Island Watch parties. Oh, fuck. I'll come for the Love Island Watch parties.

I posted the menu in the Slack so you guys can see it. The menu for the restaurant is designed after the Billy Ripkin F***offace card. He has the main drink at the bar is the regulation old fashioned. And he has a graded Jim Mint 10 Billy Ripkin F***cass card behind the bar that he'll let you look at if you ask. Yeah, he also has a, there's a drink on this that he said was also inspired by this podcast

and learning when the high five was created. So he has a drink called the high five. Wow. Phenomenal. That's awesome. I can't wait to go. It's amazing. It's so good.

Eric and I were talking about how, what a fucking relief it was we left. We're driving away and I'm like, how good was that hot dog? And he's like, I know. And I was like, thank fucking God. Can you imagine if we went there and the guy was super nice

and just lovely? And then the food, shitty or the place sucked and then we had to be like no we love it and then we had to like lukewarm recommend it to people or feel weird about recommending to people you know what i mean but none of that was the case because it was genuinely the best hot dog i've had in months and uh and the place is actually very well appointed it's got a real good it's got like wooden walls on the inside it feels very sports bar-esque it's very i reckon i were talking about it we we had been wanting to find a place like a hangout place that's like our place to go just like real quick for a bite or for

you know a couple of sodas or whatever happy hour and so we had identified this place down the road called fraser's long and low that's kind of like a tattooy bar that has hot dogs and chili dogs and all the stuff we like to eat so we went there to test it out and both decided that the vibes were dog shit and the service was terrible and we were really bummed because it had a lot potential. This place feels like the best version of that place. And I think that like even if it had nothing to do with regulation, I would be recommending everybody go to it. Yeah, it was, it was just so cool. It was such a great spot. Can't recommend it enough. If you're in Austin, make a trip out there. Go there and then go to

King B because I think King B is like the only other bar in that area at this point. But Nunya is like, dude, what a cool sport. I got, I shared that hot dog, I just posted it on my Instagram yesterday. I got so many people messaging me yesterday going, dude, I love that place. And it's like, oh, wow, this is like, this bar, this bar might make it, which is awesome. That's all I'm hoping for is they do really, really well. Because it's a, man, what a cool, cool, cool spot. I really, really enjoyed it.

That's awesome. It looked delicious. The hot dog looked phenomenal. I'm so happy that it turned out as well as it did and wish them nothing but the best. I can't imagine how difficult it is running a bar. I know how difficult it is to run a podcast business. I imagine it's not... It's got to be harder than that, you know?

what is the name my town again goof town? Goof Town, goof town, thank you Goof World Mayor of Goof World all about accountability I was wrong I was wrong about a few things and I want to call them out I was I was incorrect the first thing I was wrong about

was the bit barrel because when it was brought out I tried to make an argument that I didn't see the value in it because I don't remember the things I don't know that I'm missing and within like a day we had three different conversations

where it was things that I forgot about and I didn't articulate to you guys but I immediately internally was like oh this more than validates the bit barrel tongue sleeves what the fuck is that I don't that was the thing we talked about get it in the bit barrel I'm all in on the bit barrel

very excited about it we have it now yeah speaking of the bit barrel there it is. I put Jeff in the bit barrel. For those that can't see the image, just imagine like the barrel that they use to melt bodies and breaking bad. We have one of those, but it's for bits.

Yeah, it's a full barrel. It took me and Jeff a while to pry the top off of it. Just before Jeff got there to help me pry the top off of it, I was hanging out at the regulation house. And then Andrew activated and just started like playing with the Baseball by himself? Well, so you guys post in the Slack that you're going to group up at the office and then go check out the bar. And I thought, oh, it's like maybe 30, 40 minutes roughly before you guys are supposed to meet up there.

Maybe I'll pop in. Maybe they got there early. I could just be like, hey. And so I activated. I went down the hall. I turned on the speaker, like the mic thing that the thing has. And I went full volume. Didn't hear a thing.

I was like, oh, I guess nobody's here. oh there's a baseball on the floor i'm just gonna play with this baseball for a while as i'm lining up for the baseball eric steps past it and it scared the shit out of me because i didn't hear him and i didn't know anyone was there and then eric stretched out on the couch looked at me and just said come on as he saw me moves it it's andrew trying to hit a baseball with the robot we were playing catch father son style it was really it was pretty it was pretty good it was pretty cool having Having that spot and just being, I'm like, oh, I'm hanging out on TikTok waiting for Jeff.

And Andrew's just all around this fucking spot. It's so funny. I love being in that house. I can't wait for August, but we can all get together again. Yes. I love the future and that a guy on Vancouver Island can just be like, hold on,

I'm going to go and play with my American ball. Yeah, he's going to get over. I like that a robot from Canada and a dude from San Diego can be roommates in Austin, Texas That's exactly what it was It was so crazy we're playing baseball Do you think we should get a second

Andrew robot and give him an outside world robot And we'll stick a thumb on it I felt like a little bit too much of an ass But there was part of me that was like Take me to the bar with you Yeah, I don't even need to be activated, just bring me We think we should give you Like a GPS connected robot

We'll stick a thumb on the side and we can see how far across the U.S. you can make it hitchhiking. No, we know they did that. The robot got to Philadelphia and then the citizens beat it to death with bats. Yeah, didn't they like club it to pieces? Yeah, that was brutal.

I don't want to see that happen to Andrew. Hey, Andrew, I'm seeing it in the Slack. You're on Gavin's side. You say you have that in your notes for this episode? That's part of... Boy, that's part of being wrong. I had my life flash before my eyes because there was a Reddit post.

there's a Reddit post about how there was a fan on Adam Savage's YouTube channel and they're wearing a regulation shirt Hell yeah they were yeah they were Matt Wichell was wearing it and I thought oh wow that's amazing

Gavin's been on this show Gavin terrible at promoting anything that he's part of here's this person unaffiliated with us that is I believe done more promotion for regulation than I've seen Gavin and so I immediately was like

I could call them up on it and it could be like a funny thing. And so I looked it up. I made sure I got the info of the person. Thank you, Eric, for posting an image of it. I then Googled Gavin, Gavin Adam Savage tested or whatever. And the first thing that popped up was this. And I was like, perfect. That isn't assured about anything.

Hell yeah. Just hanging out, not promoting. Did a little bit of scrolling. And like the third thumbnail is this in which, Gavin is wearing a sloppy Joe shirt, which in my opinion absolutely counts. Yeah. But if that wasn't the thumbnail, I would have went full silo and I would have been completely wrong and it would have turned against me instantly.

So I'm very thankful for that thumbnail. I avoided complete disaster. As soon as I saw that thumbnail, I was like, oh, I could, I know the future. I go on the attack jokingly against Gavin about this. the community immediately realizes how wrong I am I have no offense against it like it just blows up in my face

entirely much like Gavin trying to play an audio clip earlier in this episode it would have been disastrous but thankfully we avoided that because of the thumbnail so shout out to whoever made that the thumbnail really appreciate it I feel like I just I find it weird to promote

my stuff on other people's channels but that's why you're there what the fuck are you talking about. That's the entire point of you being there. That's the exchange. The point of you being there is the value to you is you get to promote the things that you're doing and the value to them is you're helping

them make content on their thing. Right. Right. Yeah. That's the handshake. You're helping them by making your audience aware of it. Wait, you think I'm going on Adam Savage's channel to promote me? I think that's part of the exchange. I think if you're going on anything, there's sort of an unspoken handshake agreement of like, I am coming here to make the thing that you want, and I'm

assisting you in that. No, I just like him. I want to tag out. Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that, but you act as though like you're somehow being a dick in promoting the thing that you want, and I think that that is like a social standard that is completely acceptable. Well, here's what I'll annoy you then. Here's what will annoy you.

The shirt I'm wearing next to Adam Savage, I'm promoting a different YouTube channel. Yeah, of course. And look at the picture. Dan is wearing a slow-mo guy's shirt. But that's on channel. What we're saying is that if Dan were to go on to Adam Savage's thing and he's wearing that shirt, it's promoting you. That's what this whole point is.

Dan gets it. Dan gets it. That's unfortunate to have to say that sentence. Yeah. I'm not happy about it either. I do like that guy's out of D.C. shirt, though. Oh, that's a great Adam D.C. shirt. Great hat.

Why are you against promoting this podcast? I don't think it's the podcast. I think he's just against all promotion for stuff in general I'm just not doing stuff for promotion I don't know he went on the Australian TV show he went on the Australian TV show He's going to promote slow-mo guys

He's doing a pretty job of promoting somebody else's YouTube channel in that shirt in the middle picture That's all I'm saying is that like you just have It seems like you have a reluctance to promote this show I'm on Gavin's side They brought him on to promote himself And I think that is the difference for him I think this is a very weird social

anxiety thing for Gavin. In almost every slow-mo video, Dan's promoting slow-bo, and I'm promoting rooster teeth. Why would you promote rooster teeth? It's gone. I don't mean now. I mean, the last 15 years. Why would you say it? I don't care

about that. I feel like that also is contrary to the point. I didn't have a problem with it back then. No, no, Jeff, Gavin, you don't need you're, it's your video. The fact if anyone's there, they're aware of

the thing. The point is that you're going to a different person's audience and then directing them to the things that you're part of beyond what you're doing. It doesn't matter what shirts you're wearing in your own content. I'll give you an example. I'll give you an example. Over the weekend, last weekend, it was Homebrew Austin,

which is like the fan run RTX, like post-RTX equivalent. And they had a day where they had a bunch of different podcasts. They had like Good Morning from Hell and 100% Eat and the Michael Jordan podcast and the Clutch My Pearls podcast. was there. I had no representation as a business at that show. But I went to do the, to intro the club.

They had the Pearls Girls asked me to intro them. And so I went and I thought, what should I wear in front of an audience of a podcast fans? Oh, I know. I'll promote my thing. So I wore a regulation shirt when I introed them. Not a big deal. Not going to win anybody over. Probably, most of the people in the audience knew about regulation, maybe one or two didn't, but it just seems like a good practice when I'm promote, when I'm up there helping other people out to promote my own thing in whatever subtle way I can. Does that make sense? Yeah. I think it all makes sense. I just don't, that's what I wanted to get to the heart of where I'm not even saying Gavin, like, you're doing a wrong thing. I just think it's such a funny, weird social anxiety point

for you of like, I don't want to promote my thing. I'm on their thing. Yeah, I don't. But that's the whole point for you. Well, no, just that's the Well, it would be the whole point for him if you wouldn't promote any of this. What is Andrew? What shot does Andrew

on promoting stuff? Where are those videos? Right, he doesn't have the opportunities that you have to do it when I'm on other shows I'm promoting this. Also, let me apologize. He mentions 100% eat. the first 90 seconds of every podcast nobody minds we let them do it thank you for saying it twice that helps uh retention also everyone everyone should go check out clutch my pearls also that live episode was probably that was probably that was probably the best podcast that happened all day no offense

100% or good morning from hell but those girls kicked your dick in they were so they were so good good episode you guys were so mid compared to them yeah i totally agree based on what gavin is saying i also i just want to take a moment to apologize for putting all of my focus and energy into the business that he's a co-owner of, I am really sorry that I'm not focused on trying to go on other people's stuff. I apologize. Apparently, promotions are important. If you want, I can adjust my focus to something else, but I, as a co-business owner with

you, think it's probably a good idea for me to put all my energy into the business. I don't know. I thought at some point you were going to be my agent for a little while, and I've not really seen any offers come in. I'm still looking. Okay. I'm still looking, you know, but, uh, Listen, people have been on vacation for like a month, so got to focus in a little bit.

Got to lock in. I can't wait to see how the audience responds to this latest argument. I really don't know anymore what side they're going to come down on. But they're usually Gavin's sympathetic, so I imagine that they'll be on his side in some way. So you think every appearance I make elsewhere, I should wear regulation much. I think you should wear slow-mo merch or regular I just think you should promote in general I don't think it's about regulation that was to me that the core of it I was going to bust your balls a bit because we own the regulation business together but I understand that it is a broader

thing for you where I just think it's interesting I know we're just one of your many businesses so we can't expect to have all of the focus but we just want to be in the mix I just think it's a rare social anxiety thing and somebody who deals with like anxieties I completely get it and it's more I just wanted to highlight I think it's funny that that's why one for you. I'm going to say this. Be careful what you wish for. I don't know what that means.

Uh-oh, be careful. He's going to wear a t-shirt around Adam Savage. I'll show you. No, he won't. He's not going to remember that threat an hour from now. Are you kidding? That is the most empty threat I have ever heard. in my entire life.

I'll give you 50 bucks if you could remember a week from now that you said any of that. I hope he does this because I want to see the threat fulfilled. I want to see. I'm excited about it. He's going to be on a plane to somewhere in the world and like, I don't know, four days going, what was I supposed to remember? Nah, it probably wasn't important.

I think I'm going to threaten someone once per year, and this is, this is 2025 threat. I'm going to follow through on this threat. I like that a lot. Okay. Okay. I'm just going to write down Gavin's 2025 threat.

You got it, man. Just to be clear, who are you threatening in this system? All of us, technically. Is it Andrew? The show? Is it your business? I would say, everyone except Nick.

Yeah. Everyone except Nick? Son it. Nick as well. All right, so Ericates everybody but Andrew. Gavin's threatening everybody but Nick. This is getting weird. We need to troll this out.

I don't think I should be part of the threatening list. I'm on your side in this. I very clearly stated that I get it's an anxiety point and I just think it's a funny We're all on his side. We just trying to help him develop best practices to be a human being. I don't even care about him developing best practices

I just wanted to call it that I think it's a funny quirk. As somebody who has many of them. He says that he does care. I care deeply. You know what? You're all going to regret this. I'm going to go take my shirt off. I'm in a reverse protest.

Let me... No pants, no shirt. Andrew's ready to go. I'm ready to go. I'm actually excited for like the Gavin threat because I don't I don't think I've ever had like a real clashing with Gavin.

Like we're antagonistic on the show but it's all like playful. None of it is real. Well I would say it's still, this is still going to be pretty playful. I'm excited for that. I'm not coming up to your family or anything. That's the thing, like, but I would have laughed if you did. Like, either way, either extreme, I'm all four in this context.

You get one like equalizer bullet per year. And this is your equalizer thing. Gavin's over here in the corner counting. Nick, you're already dead. You don't even know it yet. You're two inches too close to me. Oh, God. Damn, that was funny.

Let me ask you guys a question. Change the subject a little bit, because I know we're about to have to wrap up. And this is something that popped into my head yesterday. Do you think you could fart so hard that it ripped your pants? Oh, no, I don't. But I love the thought. I bet you, I think you could.

I think if your pants were like old enough and threadbare enough and you had like a real, like one where you really had to flex and push. I wonder if you could rip. I wonder if it's happened before. That's kind of why I wanted to bring it up because I feel like it's happened but if you Google it, you don't get a lot of results. So I was kind of wanting to bring it to the audience at large.

Have you ever farted so hard that you ripped your pants because I'm looking for confirmation that this could happen? What if we start from make like a solenoid power, like an air cannon, blow a hole in some jeans and work backwards from how many PSI we need to do that and see if that's possible for a fart? Do you think we could get Adam Savage to design it for us when we could all wear our t-shirts.

That's, you know, I like your more scientific approach, Gavin, because my thought was immediately to, like, cut a pair of pants in half and then have them hanging from the ceiling and have them just be fart pants that you fart into and see how many farts it takes to get to the other side. Wait, why are they on the ceiling? Because they need to be, like, held upwards. They need to be waist height.

Like, they don't need to be on the ceiling. They could be, as long as they're just floating in somewhere, attached to something. They need to be like you're wearing them with nobody in them. So they just need to be held up in some way. They don't need to be on the ceiling. That's just how I imagined it. I need a diagram. Okay.

I'll draw you one right now. Okay. Let me all into this. So we're talking like, let me... I like this scientific approach too because my thought was just to fart max every day and then just try to blast into the same pair of short. or something. Now, to be clear, Jeff, you mean that, like,

your farts fully caused the damage, not like a last straw situation where, like, wear and tear has weakened them to the point where a fart could finish it? I mean, I think it's just if a fart could finish it, yeah. I mean, just a fart that has, I don't, whatever condition the shorts or the pants

are in ahead of time, just like that the blast of a fart could rip fabric. I don't think even if there was one thread, I could disintegrate fabric. Interesting. I don't know, maybe it was like dry rot, you know? Maybe it's like your grass cutting shorts

to stay outside all the time or something. Just so brittle. Yeah, just super brittle. Okay. I wonder what, yeah. Drawing this out for you? I need a canvas. I need a canvas ready to go in case of drawing.

Yeah, you just open paint and then it's a blank thing instead of having to grab an image that's already on your insane desktop. Okay. So I just put paint into my phone? Yeah, for paint in your phone. Why are you doing it on your...

What? Well, he wants maybe finger dextery. Oh, yeah. I think the point of my art is that it's all finger-based. There's a finger-based artist. Absolutely. Okay, here we go. I got it.

Paint brush. Go blue for the pants. you got these right and that's your pants and they're half pants we need just like a shared joinable canvas that we can just stream oh yeah that exists in Discord

it does yeah we should use that tool how do you use that it's like an app or something within Discord I don't know think you gotta get Nitro are you are you able to use it with your fingers since that seems to be the crucial part

for what you're doing here well my laptop is a touchpad a mouse so it's essentially the same so how was I wrong about the first thing I fucking said you weren't at all okay Andrew I remember you're dealing with July Eric right now

yeah but he likes me for this month yeah he's the only one that I like but boy he's walking a thin line here we go here's the image okay so the black is the roof okay blue of the pants it says shark cuterie he's on the shirkutory image with the table It's also the table.

I love that it's true. This has to be the Jeff, this has to be the thumbnail. Okay. It's like all that time. Just drawing the thing in the top, right? Yeah, so. I love that he has one canvas

for every image he's ever drawn. It's the pants are held up by like some cords from the ceiling so Jeff can just turn into them and fart and then go about his day. Yeah, there you go. Easy. But they don't need to be hung up like that.

That's just what I imagine. I mean, there are other ways you could do that. It looks like a flaccid dick sticking through a table, peeing. Oh. It does. It looks like a hole from above. It's like a black hole and a dick came out and had to weave. It's like a ceiling.

Has there ever been a ceiling glory hole? You got to jump up to get at it. Guy on the second floor has happened to lay down. You just walk in other guy in a room upstairs and he's just face down on the floor He's like, don't worry about it Hey, what's going on with Evan?

It looks like he's taking a nap But he's got a big smile. That would be the most dangerous Gloria whole ever. You can just grab out of that thing And pull. Oh God, suck them. It'd be like when they suck

the alien out of the plane at the end of that alien's sleep movie. It's got like the carnival ride thing where you have to be a certain height to be able to use it from the bottom of his head. It must be this long to use. And when it's not in use, just put like a smoke detector over it or something.

Oh, Christ. Oh, God. We have to wrap up. We have to end this. You guys have a whole month to not be here, so you got to get started on it. Before we end. Andrew, how do seasons work? It's because of the North and South Pole and the turn of it, and as things rotate, it's seasons and all that. Hmm.

It's at an angle. It's not I.O. Interactive. It's sideways interactive. It's italics. It's italics interactive. And it's just, it's sun. It's the sun's proximity or like how exposed certain places are to the sun. I've just noticed your charcutory image has a little chunk missing out of the left side at the bottom.

Uh-huh. Yeah, it's always been there. How'd you do that? I think it was a photo. I think this originally was when I removed the eyes on Matthew McConaughey, maybe, or Lienhardt Caprio. I think it's not a white canvas. It's a photo of a piece of paper.

No, I think I painted the photo white, and then that became the canvas, and then... You just... Applied to that on top of it. Yeah. It's small enough, doesn't matter. You know how archaeologists go to a location, and they dig, and they find layers of civilizations on top of each other. Like, you go to Greece, there's like 7,000.

It's like 7,000 years of civilization compressed. Could you imagine, like, digital archaeologists someday discovering Andrew images and finding out there's paintings under the paintings. It's just, find ways to remove the layers. It's just at some point you get to Leonardo DiCaprio with no eyes. I don't think it's God. Oh, Christ. We should probably wrap up here, though.

Oh, that was fun there. This was a good one. Episode 63 of the Regulation Podcast. All-timer? Many are saying so. We will see. Thank you so much for listening. We hope that you enjoyed it.
