Hello and welcome to another episode of the regulation podcast.
This is episode 73.
My name is Jeff Ramsey.
With me, as always, Andrew Pant and Gavin Free, Eric Beddor, Nick Schwartz, why the
laughter?
You came out.
It cut out so early.
It didn't go ahead.
It just came out as, oh.
I forget that it cuts out sometimes.
Such a shame for you, but not for the audience.
They get to hear.
my full-throated introduction.
It is October 1st, the day that this comes out, I believe, Eric was saying?
Yeah, welcome to October 1st, the month of Jeff's full throat.
Yeah, I'm saying I give you a full-throated introduction.
It clips for you, idiots, but the audience doesn't hear that because it's recorded.
It's graveyard season.
Avoid the graveyards.
It's more likely that bad things will happen.
It's graveyard season.
If you were thinking about taking a stroll past a graveyard, maybe reconsider.
If you're visiting a loved one, don't.
Imagine if graveyards were like signing up, like enrolling for health care,
and you could only do it one month of the year.
And everyone just had to pile their dead in on the same month.
Oh, man.
That would suck.
It would suck for the people that died in November.
I actually don't know how a graveyard works.
Like, hang on.
let me that was a sentence that made me sound like Andrew so I don't know yeah I said it and then
immediately went in a man no no trouble okay so say let's say tragedy Nick dies and we are
tasked with handling his body tragedy has struck the regulation podcast uh and 100% eat and I
don't know what I'm doing for work so we are tasked with handling the body of Nick what do we
have to like, do we like
call a graveyard? Here's the
full, no, the first thing. Okay.
Nick, you
want to get buried or cremated? How are you
feeling today? Cremated.
Well, fucking, okay, well, we can't bury
him. He's ruined it.
What do you want us to do
with your ashes? Some people like to be
cremated and then put into like a vault
or do you want to be on the mantel at home?
Or do you want to be buried as ashes?
I want to be in a tree. He wants to be
sprinkled in a pizza hut parking lot or
something. Okay. Well, we're still burying him. Nick, your dad, you don't know. I'm sorry.
We just pretend we didn't. So we're burying him. I think, I think this group is more prepared
the most with the beanhole prep. I think even if we didn't call anybody. So my question of
what the, I don't know how a graveyard works, is us digging a hole for him? I'm saying that
worst case scenario, I think we're covered. We're digging a nickel. I,
I've buried a lot of people in 50 years.
I could get it done.
It's not complicated.
It's easy to bury somebody.
It's annoying and it takes a little bit of time.
But it's just phone calls and deposits.
Do you call the graveyard?
Does the graveyard have a number?
Yes, you call.
Yeah, you call the graveyard.
Typically, when somebody dies, if it's not,
if they're old enough, they've already purchased a grave
where they want to die and it's sitting there waiting for them.
But if somebody dies unexpectedly like this,
then you would call a couple of guys.
graveyards and whichever one you're interested, find out how much a plot of land is, buy that
plot of land, and then stick the motherfucker in the ground. It's not hard. It's just sad.
As you know, the first headstone in every graveyard is the phone number of the graveyard.
It's not an actual body there. It's just the phone number on a headstone. But even before phones,
that's crazy. In the Wild West, here's a bunch of numbers on a graveyard. This will make sense
in 150 years. Nick, are you more insulted that we're burying your ashes at the bottom of
a bean hole or are you more
insulted that Andrew definitely won't come to your
funeral?
Oh yeah, no, I won't be there.
Yeah, I was going to say, definitely Andrew not being there.
You could, but Dilbot might be.
Could we use Nick to cook
the beans?
Like, could he go in the bean hole?
Is that how we, can we make the ashes that way?
That's how we make him ashes, right? We throw his body
in a hole. We douse it in gasoline.
We light it on fire. We lower the beans
into it until he's like charcoal.
Yeah, we put the beans in first.
and then put Nick on top of the beans, probably.
Oh, on top.
Well, then we have to dig through Nick, don't we?
Yeah, we're going to have to dig through Nick,
but he'll just be, he's just going to be charcoal.
But could we break him and, like, sort of do, like, a fold him really hard,
and then, like, he encompasses the whole bean pot?
He's not going to give a shit what we do with him.
You can bend them in whatever way you want to to fit him in that hole.
Oh.
The gasoline's going to take care of it.
This is good.
So, you call the graveyard.
Jeff, Jeff, do you have a plot of land?
You got a grave somewhere?
No, I'm not going to be buried in the ground.
I'll be cremitted.
In which case, it doesn't really matter.
I have a plot of land, but just to flex on people to say that I own land.
You're a landowner.
I own a six foot by three foot square of land.
Let me tell you, real hard to sell on a real estate website.
Not a lot of action.
Can I make a request?
Yeah, go ahead.
Can I be buried at Andrew's nearest graveyard to see if he'll come to that one?
Oh, that is such a good idea, Gavin.
Oh, my God.
You make it the most convenient for him to visit you and see how long it takes until he visits you.
This is incredible.
We'll see. Gavin won't.
How?
Andrew Thors.
Thoughts about, I mean, there's a lot of questions.
You stressed it.
My approval of the idea, how long it would take for me to visit you.
What are, one of my, what thoughts are you looking for?
Oh, uh, would you go?
Yeah, I'd go.
Okay.
I definitely go.
What's your range?
Because I think once you said you wouldn't want to travel further than a mile to do something
you wanted or, was it something like that?
No, I'd want to visit your tombstone.
I'd hang out.
I'd say, I'd just stand there and I'd go, hey, I knew this guy.
This guy, this is a pretty good guy.
Anybody want to take a picture with me and this guy's gravestone?
Hey, have you heard of slow-mo guys?
I wonder how we got started.
So are you saying you wouldn't go to the funeral, you would just visit me later?
I'd be more inclined to visit you later than go to the funeral.
Okay.
Interesting.
I don't think there's any value to me at anyone's funeral.
Well, it makes me look more popular if there's more people there.
Could I just send somebody in my place?
Ooh.
I think that you sending a proxy to Gavin's funeral makes Gavin seem less popular than ever.
Well, what if everyone sends a proxy?
Oh, that's what I'm talking about.
A funeral of proxies?
Yeah, we can see who sends the best proxy.
Yeah, what about this?
If I show up as Dilbot.
Is that okay?
Is that a proxy or is that just you?
I just assumed you were planning on showing up
his Dilbot already. I didn't know that
no, I just considered it right now.
Gavin, is your funeral held
in a place that has free Wi-Fi?
Maybe I could get my funeral
sponsored by Verizon or something. Maybe they could put up
a hotspot. You're not going to be using
a bunch of your data so can just
right before you die, can you turn on a hotspot
and then
you can just hotspot to your phone? Like, it should
be okay, right? I'm going to worry about the bits.
Did you also try to die at the beginning of the billing cycle so we have a good three weeks of Wi-Fi
before your bills late?
Here's my promise.
I will go as far as I can from the office Wi-Fi.
Wherever I end up is wherever I end up.
I'll lose control eventually, but I will attempt the trek.
So like 20 feet out the front door?
Yeah.
Let me tell you to see you guys.
We recently, as has been discussed, we recently took a trip to the center of the regulation
University of Deputy Indiana, right?
Yeah.
We were there.
Video came out.
A lot of land.
Not a lot of people.
Not a lot of stuff being done with that land.
I can't imagine it would be too hard to buy a little plot of land and create our own
regulation graveyard.
And then we could all be buried together in the regulation graveyard.
Maybe we could even put it behind that church we could buy.
Ooh.
Interesting.
Why don't we just make our own graves?
then we can put up tombstones of whoever we want to.
They don't even have to be buried there.
We can have our own graveyard full of tombstones that we want.
And then we can be thrown into the mix as well.
Can you just start a cemetery?
I don't see why not.
If it's attached to a church, I would think that there might already be one there.
Oh, yeah, maybe.
We could dig up a couple people and make room for us.
We could just take it over.
You know how it was deemed slightly insensitive to play the tombstone game in a real graveyard?
What if we open the first game of,
graveyard where everyone buried there
gives their consent for
games to be played in the graveyard. That would work.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We call it the game yard.
The game yard.
It's us. It's, it's Mr.
Beast. It's I show speed.
We get them all. You guys come on to the
game yard and play bingo.
I like this idea.
And it further submits
deputy as the center of our universe
when we're all dead there together at
the same time. I, uh, I accidentally did a collab with I Show Speed. Yeah. Oh, the, the cheese,
the cheese thing. He was at the cheese. Yeah, I was filming a cheese rolling and he was like rolling
through the frame at one point. Oh, wow, really? But I didn't know what's. Can I ask you guys an
ignorant old man question? Yeah. Yeah. Who's I show speed? I saw he was, I opened up YouTube the
other day to watch a card break and I saw that he was traveling across the US sleeping in like
RV or something. And I thought, that's not cheap.
This guy must be pretty famous, but I don't know who he is or what he's, like,
I get that he's probably a YouTuber, but like, what's his angle?
Is he, is he fast?
Is that why his name is Is he fast?
Okay.
He races people.
I would say that's secondary to his popularity.
Is he just, just like a personality then?
He's just a personality.
Yeah, okay, cool.
Twitch personality guy.
I'm just, oh, does he play games?
Is he like a gamer?
Sometimes.
Yeah.
Uh, he, he shows up sort of everywhere that you didn't think he was going to
like Bill Murray
He's a little bit like Bill Murray
He uh
Sometimes he just shows up in
WWE and gets thrown around
And it's like oh okay
I guess that's just what he's doing here
I think he's just
I think he's a personality
Who finds his way into stuff
Like the inside of a prime bottle
And then I think he's just friends with Logan Paul
I think that's just his thing
You know?
The only thing I've seen recently is that I guess he was trying to use a fire hose,
but it threw him on the ground and then he stormed off.
I'm just so out of the loop at this point.
I mean, that's not happily so.
You're not missing that long.
I shouldn't be at my age, I shouldn't be in the loop.
It would be weird if I was.
You're good.
You should have a graveyard plot, not know who I show speed is.
Yeah, I should be having conversations about how we buy a graveyard together,
not about how I take a road trip with I show speed.
I think I show Speed's tombstone
would be on like a treadmill type thing
that went back and forth
he still shows speed
even from beyond the grave
a moving tombstone
I like your idea a lot Jeff
I think a game cemetery
yeah so then you like
if you sign up Gavin's ideas
you sign up it is
it's a let's call it the
they're all Gavin's ideas at the end of the day
but I was going to say we'll just call it a regulation idea
but you're right to just give Greg Gavin
all the credit always
yeah something to think about
something to think about we can get some
cheap land and deputy, cut some of that corn
down, throw some tombstone.
We could put a Zimmer tombstone there. We could
eventually put us there. It'd be a lot of fun.
All our dogs and animals when they die
could go there. Andrew's
fake cats could go there someday, maybe.
The entire community is cats.
It made me so happy when we're doing the borderland
stream. There's a cat that Eric can summon
and I just said this is my cat and
nobody knows what that means outside of us.
Ridiculous. Ridiculous.
frees me a lot of joy so dumb um i like the idea a lot of i think uh some tombstones i think the people
a deputy want more people to visit there i've learned anything from your trek to deputy it is that
uh we can talk about something else shit shit you okay starting a cemetery is a very complex
lengthy and expensive process
to the strict regulations,
significant financial requirements,
and the difficulty of finding suitable land.
So, we're going to have to find an existing
graveyard and buy it. We can do that. That's way easier.
We as a podcast are giving up
at the first sign of regulations?
No, I'm not saying we're giving up. I'm saying
we need to alter, we need to find
an existing graveyard and deputy
and buy that. I think that'd be easier.
Okay.
All right, we can do it.
I mean, if we just not do all that
and open a graveyard, who's going to come at us?
Oh, fuck.
The overall expense ranges from $100,000
to $2 million depending on land and development.
Here's what we'll do, though.
Here's what we'll do.
Here's how we'll raise the money.
We'll fill the graveyard with benches,
and then audience members can buy plaques on the benches,
and then we can raise revenue that way.
Would you be willing to take pre-orders, Jeff?
Is this the one scenario where pre-orders would be okay?
if we pre-sold tombstones or graveyard spots?
I mean, that's kind of the business model for graveyards.
I think that's how it is. I think we'd have to, yeah.
My grandparents pre-ordered their gravestones like 30 years before they died.
Well, do you have to pay rent for all the years you don't die?
No, I think you just...
I think it's probably better to buy it sooner than later
because you get it cheaper and you get locked in at that rent-controlled price.
I know that it's going to be hard for me to outdo your 50th birthday present, Jeff.
Would you feel is so it by a 51st birthday present being a hole in the ground?
A hole in the ground?
No, I would be really honored if you cared enough about me to choose where I live for a turn of people.
That would mean a lot.
Such a disturbing gift for someone potentially with half their life left.
Potentially.
Fucking.
Fingers crossed, baby.
You know what?
where we could get really cheap
non-regulated cemetery
land is goof world
goof-world tons of room
we got space for you
and something we can talk about
because the content has come out related to it
we had some keys to the city
we had some discussions
about keys
that we could possibly acquire
from the Larry King estate
if you have not listened
to regulation takes two
you should listen to it
We try not to have actual regulation canon outside of regulation episodes, but sometimes it does, an idea will start there.
So make sure you listen to regulation takes two.
Sometimes the idea is just good enough that we can't stop it in the moment.
We have to let it play out.
It was a discussion about keys to the city and a belief that keys to the city should actually be able to work within that city.
You should be able to open any door.
I saw somebody bring up the potential of locking any door you want.
That's also funny.
but just the idea that they work
for one year at least
so there's like some weight to it
and at the time
there was an upcoming auction for
Larry King's Estate which featured
five of his keys to the city
and we became fixated
on these keys we got to have these keys
we got to be able to open any door in San Francisco
and so we entered
the auction and we thankfully
were able to secure the keys they went
very cheap all things considered
I also got a
few other bonus items that I assume there will be a big unboxing at some point during our
break show. I have an update on that, actually. I have an update. So I got an email. The first
email I have received from the company, by the way, late last week or early, yeah, I think early
last week that said, hey, if you don't coordinate shipping with us, you're fucked. You take this stuff.
We're sick of telling you this. And I had never received any communication from these people at any
point. So I went on to their website
and immediately ordered
the selected the shipping option
and once again, shipping continues
to cost about as much as the items.
Wild.
But the keys to the city,
I believe it is Beverly Hills, Cincinnati,
San Francisco,
and what was
the last city? I don't remember. We ended up
with five. We have five keys to the city.
Maybe it was Miami. I can't remember.
I think Miami was in there.
They, I selected ground shipping, and we should, we'll have them by the time of this recording,
but they, they've been in the, uh, they've been shipping, uh, for a couple days now.
Hell, yeah. We should have them very soon. So you're going to have those. I also got a few,
uh, mystery lots that were, uh, I think the cheapest lot available. I secured. I'm excited to
see you guys unbox that and, uh, can I ask a question? Yeah, of course. How cheap is the cheapest lot?
I think it was $80. Okay. And, and,
When you say mystery lot, is it a mystery to us or a mystery to you, too?
Mystery to you guys. I know what it is. I've looked at, yeah.
Because that is a fucking angle. And maybe when I die, if they do in a state sale, it's got
to be all blind box of state sale. Like, everybody pays, you buy 75 bucks and you get a plastic
bag full of some of my shit, but you don't get to pick what it is. And then we just clear
the house out that way. I think there's a, that's a, people should look into that. That's a great
idea. I think there's something
hilariously morbid about a
TikTok blind box
Laboobu style opening
of clicking on the box and showing all the
mystery stuff they could get.
A bought a Jeff
box. Let's see what we got. Looks like we had some of his old
underwear. Looks like a piece of
art his daughter made for him. It appears to be an
ashtray. Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap.
I do, I do want
his sunglasses. I
don't want his socks.
I got his framed Army D.D.
214. That sucks.
Oh man, it's only all left sucks.
That is a great idea.
That would be very funny.
But in the talking of keys,
because you have that lot coming,
I have decided that Goof World needs to
hand out a key by the end of this year.
Okay, I'm into this.
So I want to declare
everybody's in the running
to become a key of Goof World recipient.
Like in the community or just us?
You, you guys, anybody.
I'm going to put it out there
for anyone can be a recipient.
It's out there.
So think about it.
So you're going to manufacture
a physical goof world key, right?
Yeah, I believe that's the plan.
Yeah, I'm going to make an actual key.
And there will be a recipient.
We'll do it at the last podcast of this year.
Okay.
I love this idea.
What do you call it?
Like, it's like goof world's key to the city?
Keys to the goof.
Okay.
Key to the goof.
It works for one year.
Do you still have all those keys that you had for that safe gag that you didn't do?
Oh, yeah, I still have that in my...
Yeah, fuck.
That thing's heavy.
And shipping is only increased in price.
Fuck.
You know how we're planning on getting the keys engraved?
So it says, like, the city of San Francisco presents this key to Larry King and regulation podcast.
Yes.
Which is maybe the funniest bit we've ever come up with to me personally.
I was just thinking about it.
Doesn't,
it's not as funny if we do it at a graveyard.
No.
Like in loving memory of Aunt,
you know,
Samantha and regulation podcast.
Yeah.
Doesn't play this.
It's weird.
Graveyards are where comedy goes to die sometimes,
I think.
It's unfortunate.
We're gonna,
our game graveyard,
our game yard is going to be
a lot more irreverent than this.
Good.
It should be.
I think it's something specific to Larry King.
I think Larry King is just a funny individual.
there's an aura of it makes it fun and Larry King very was very seriously considered himself to be a
comedian and a very funny dude and would write jokes and do stand up and in the like the last like 10 or
15 years of his life was really into the idea that he was funny so I think he would above all else
would understand and get the bit he made me laugh once when he asked Seinfeld if
Seinfeld got cancer so everybody just
Be aware. Keys to the goof. It's coming. All right. I love this. You can go up and down.
So what happens? Do you physically send them a key? Do they have to send it back at the end of the year? Or do they keep that and then we make a new key the next year? I think it's a new key every year.
Oh, okay. I'll send it to the person who receives it. Is it going to be comically large?
No. Probably not. Well, you know what? Actually, I can't say that. I don't know how I'm going to make this key yet. So it could be.
If I have to personally make it, it's not going to be comically large.
Okay.
If I can order it from somewhere, it probably will be comically large.
If it's not an inconvenience for me personally, and just for the person receiving it,
it will be comically large.
If you want this key by the end of the year, you better start looking now.
We're, uh, this is, we're recording this on September 16th.
And as of today, like, stuff we're ordering for the store, we're not going to get to, like,
mid-December. We're really running out of time.
Shit. I'll lock you in. Yeah. Yeah.
Fall always feels like a reset. Between busier routines and shorter days, finding time to cook can be tough.

The video came out, which was our road trip to deputy, which people are really liking so far.
I'm quite happy that many people were fooled by the billboard, briefly.
I think depending on the size of the screen you're watching on, it looks more or less convincing.
Real convincing on a phone. Real convincing on a phone.
But what I didn't expect was how many people...
People were convinced that Jeff was playing the piano.
Really?
That's so funny.
Have you seen the video?
I have. It's fantastic.
Do you want to see the tune that Jeff actually played on the piano?
You would love you.
Oh, do you have it? Oh, awesome. Fantastic.
I put it in the slide.
Ah.
The beginning sounds like.
like a song.
Yeah, I can't tell the difference between that and the version.
It sounds no different at all.
Nailed it, Jeff.
I was the physical performance of a person that looks like they're playing piano.
And I fucking sold it with that music, Evan.
I sold it perfectly.
Yeah.
And I also blown away that the ball from that video, which was under the sign, was retrieved within like five hours of posting the video.
Yeah, super, super fast.
By someone who just happened to be like coming back through that area after doing a job somewhere.
I thought that was such a good chance that that thing was going to get waterlogged from a rain or from a bunch of humidity and it was just going to be goopy or it was going to get chopped a bits by a lawnmower.
But, yeah.
I mean, it's pretty, it's pretty goopy.
It got a little gooby
If it had been there much longer
It would have been fucked
But yeah
Yeah
That's uh
But congratulations
We were doing the break show
And Phallis O Malus
Came in the chat
And said
Hey
I have it
And it was like
All right
You better post it
Because uh
You can't just say that
And then they posted it
And everyone went crazy
Which also led to so
There were so many people
That went to Deputy
To find this ball
Yeah man
So many people were posting
Like I'm two hours away
I'm on my way right now
And it was
It was pretty crazy
Crazy.
Deputy's got to hate us already.
Yeah.
I mean, they definitely hated us when we were there.
We should rent one of the storage units and have a meet-up in it.
I think we'd get kicked out of the town.
I think Deputy Dog would come pick us out.
I don't think we could do that.
Does it say no meet-ups when you rent the storage unit?
It's scary.
I don't think you can, I don't think you can just meet up in a storage unit.
Dude, especially those storage units, let's be honest.
They look like they might be meth labs.
Yeah, definitely.
Yeah, those are rough.
I think they're doing some pretty brisk business there.
I don't know what we want to get in their way.
But now that we're done, we did it.
FACE off season one, finally officially done.
In the books.
We can move on to face off season two.
Hell yeah.
I can't wait.
Andrew's been really putting it together making things happen.
I'm really, really, really excited.
Yeah, we just got to lock in the format.
Yeah, people were asking me about it in the stream this morning,
and I told them I think that all barriers are done.
I think we filmed all the intros.
Everybody has their teams.
Andrew made all the arenas and the logos and everything.
So we're just ready to shoot, right?
Yeah, we just have to lock in
how we want to have it come out.
Right.
Once we lock in format, we're good to go.
Easy, pretty excited.
Easy peasy.
That was a great video.
You guys going to Deputy.
Really enjoyed it.
I had so much fun on that trip.
And it was a lot of people are like,
you should release the whole 16 hours.
I used like most of the footage I took.
I just took little snippets every few hours.
and then obviously filmed in the mall on that.
Gavin somehow managed to capture
almost every single funny thing that happened
in that entire trip.
Like there's nothing on the editing room floor
or there's nothing that got missed really.
I would say the only thing that got missed
that was really funny was when
Jeff was trying to text Emily
using voice to text.
And we all kept chiving in
to try and get the text to read the most insane thing.
and for some reason
I just was so into that
that I wasn't filming it
but other than that
I think every funny thing was there
it immediately led to a phone call
so Jeff could explain
what was going on
so that was fun
the other funny moment
that didn't get caught
that may have only been funny
to me
but it was a miserable kind of funny
was we found this little basement
bar restaurant to eat dinner at
I was about to bring up
the same fucking thing
oh my God
this was my favorite too
it was weird man
You go into an office complex and then there's like a waiting room for a doctor's office and you go down an elevator and then you're in some little like gothy bar. It was cute. It was fun. And the food was good. But we it's real small and there's like a little stage and then just a little eating area. And we went and we just picked the chair. Place is just about empty. There's like two people sitting at the bar and one couple on the other side of the restaurant bar. And there's maybe it's maybe like a 20 top this whole place. Like it's real small. We sit down. Somebody comes over and hands us menus. We look at the menu. We look at the menu.
news and we go, I'm like, this is going to be a good night. And the second I think that,
some guy walks out onto the stage, which we realize is I could touch the stage with my left
hand from the table, sits down in front of a microphone with an acoustic guitar and goes,
my name's Dickhead. I'm about to play for the music for you for the next three hours.
Three hours. Three hours. Unbelievable. He played music for you for the next three hours. He played
music for the entire time we were there to my left ear and Eric's right ear
because we were four feet away from them
and pretty much the only people in there and it became
impossible to talk or have a conversation
he also was doing chat with people across the room as well
like over our heads like he knew people as well so
incredible I have a new rule
for goof world I wanted to throw out there
I figured out how the law works in goof world
regulations I guess specifically
we're doing a reverse method
in Goof World
it's going to be
me as the current mayor of Goof World
I'm going to institute things
to the people
and then at the end of the year
they can vote if they want to remove it or not
but they have no say
in the rule being applied
what's that the reverse of
I think so isn't there typically a vote
or I guess you're voting on policy right
you're voting that you're assuming
I see like you're bringing it okay
I thought you were saying
Like, the goof world starts off with everything being illegal, and then you're not, no, no, no, no, no, no, I have to institute, and they have no say in this process.
First rule, everything is, is on a pound scale for size.
A pound scale.
So I ordered a quarter pounder last night, and I enjoy that.
I like that.
I like that form of measurement.
So no stones?
No stones.
I just know, but everything, everything is applied to it.
So no, bullshit, small, medium, or large.
It's all related to how much a pound is.
I'll have a pound of cappuccino, please.
Exactly.
One tenths of a pound of cappuccino.
So no grams.
No grams. Get grams out of here.
Do we have to call it?
Can we use, do we have to call it Instapound if we use of the app?
Sure.
Okay.
Why not?
A real Christmas Cracker joke
That one
Thank you very much
So wait
You're starting a brand new world
In 2025 and you're not going metric
No, we're going pound
I think the pound
I know what a pound is
When I read quarter pound or beef
I know what that means
Okay
I get it
Small medium large means nothing
There's no
There's no scientific
There's no
It could be anything
Because it applies to multiple mediums
Like, you don't order liquid by the pound.
You can.
You don't wear a shirt by the pound.
You do if you go to certain Goodwills.
How heavy is a gallon of water?
A kilogram of water is a liter, right?
I think that's what I think that's all right.
It's four liters.
Oh.
Is it?
I'm just imagining being arrested for having like six grams of weed in Goof World.
And they're like, you're going to jail for 013227.
7 pounds
If you display it like that
Then I'm throwing that case out
That's ridiculous
I'm also voting on weed being legal in Goof World
After the fact
Yeah, I'm fine with that
It's approved
What about abortion?
What are we doing?
I just thought it was a good opportunity
To get some of Andrew's opinions out
Yeah, that's all good
Does Goofield occupy a physical
space or is it more of a state of being?
Oh, that's a, that's an interesting question.
Oh, like it's a liminal area?
I think state of being, I don't think it's, yeah, I don't think there's a literal place.
So like, whether we're in Nanaimo or Austin, we can all still be in goof world together,
as opposed to us having to go to a physical space, like in deputy or somewhere where...
Exactly.
Gotcha, gotcha, I like that.
That makes total sense considering it started off with like the time zone.
like everyone across the world sharing a goof world time zone.
I do think it's really funny to have on a chart.
The first three things approved in Goof World.
One, everything's on a pound scale.
Two, weed is legal for three.
Abortions are fine.
Abortions are legal.
What a jump.
I already like Goofield a lot.
And four, we're all in the same time.
Oh, you hate Goof World because we're changing the clock every fucking year.
We're shifting.
we haven't locked that in yet
you're going to be unhappy in goof world
when 8 a.m. becomes 3 a.m.
Yeah, you specifically are going to have issues
with goof, goof time.
Yeah, I mean, what are you going to start
like what
the 9 a.m. you've got now
what do you want that to be?
Uh,
ooh.
What am I feeling today
is what should 9 a.m.?
This is terrible.
5 a.m., I guess.
So, okay, so that would be 7 a.m. here would be 9.
Oh, that's fine.
Yeah, see, he approves.
He gets it.
Gavin gets it now.
Can we call the law in goofroll, the glaw, the goof law?
Disapproved.
Yeah.
Oh, but that's a reference back to the little printing the glaw thing.
Yeah, do you have to print it every day?
Oh, that's interesting.
Because it goes back to our roots.
Print on the amendments from yesterday.
You know what?
You sold me, Jeff.
Approved.
Thank you.
Thank you. I flip it.
I'm a mayor that can be convinced.
I can be swayed. I'm not locked in.
We go get you a little gavel.
What's a goof world mayoral term?
Hmm.
I think that's a really good question because you started this whole thing,
Andrew, by saying, as the current mayor of goof world.
Yeah, there will have to be an election at some point, obviously.
Right, but if it's on, but we're on goof time, I imagine that we're, like, the day before the election,
you're like, ooh, it's actually 2022, so we don't have the election.
anytime soon.
Oh, you could reset your term.
We went back in time four years
according to the goof calendar.
Yeah, I think maybe it's like
every two years there's a decision
if we need an election or not.
And then we initiate an election
if there is a vote, a majority vote that...
Hang on.
You have an election
to see if you need to hold an election?
Yeah. Well, no.
No, we don't have an election to hold.
We put out, hey, we feel in an election
this?
year every two years. You're putting
out feelers? Yeah, we're putting
out feelers. Yeah, because
people might be like, you know what? He's
doing a pretty good job. They're doing a pretty
good job as the mayor of goof world. They're fine.
We don't need to vote. We're all happy.
And then
if there's a re-election,
then one is instituted.
You walk in. Do you think you would ever get re-elected?
You know what? I'd say so
far, doing a pretty good job.
I haven't heard any
complaints from the residents of Goof World.
I think this all started
with complaints from Gavin. This is
crazy. Yeah, but he's not a resident.
Well, I want to be. I think we should
definitely sell Goofield Passports
in the store and then anyone could just
decide. I mean, would you allow
citizens just to
come in themselves and become one or do they
need to go through like some sort of
history tests? I think anyone can
opt into Goof World Citizenship.
Without an application?
Just buy it?
Yeah, I think they can acquire their way
I mean that's
Isn't that how America works right now
You can just buy your way in
That's like it's $5 million
Yeah, well it's a lot less
For Goof World
Five significantly
All right, let's
We're still figuring out pricing
Yeah, we're trying to
Set up a city here
I just like the idea of an item in the store
That comes with a small application
That gets approved on tonight
Um
Yeah, I think it's open to anyone
I think you can be kicked out
a goof world, obviously.
Oh, damn.
And is that sole discretion of the mayor, or is there a vote?
You know what?
I'm really deciding if I want this to be like a monarchy situation or...
Yeah, like dictatorship or a democracy.
So you started as a mayor and now you're considering a monarchy situation?
Well, just in the sense of like, I'm ultimately making all the decisions.
It is
I'm going to say it is a little bit
intimidating to have a completely open
place
decided by people that can just opt in
and do whatever they want
however that's sort of how the world works
that's how democracy works
well not everyone can live
everyone they want
no but if you're born then you suddenly have a voice
in this thing like you're automatically opt in
you're opted in
there's less paperwork
potentially than there is a joining
you know as a person who was born
I got to agree with that
hey me too
so one of the requirements
to be a goof world resident is you have
to be born
I think you have to exist
yeah yeah if your parents are both
goof world citizens you're automatically in
oh
that's interesting
we need
we need to run for office
you're not
that's interesting
you're not so goof
Goof World, it sounds like Goof World might not be for birthright citizenship.
Interesting.
Hmm.
Does anybody see a world where these jokes continue and spiral out of control and somehow we
look back and Mark the Frog as the mayor of Goof World and we've lost complete internal control
of our own creation?
We did the break show.
We did the break show and we were like, all right, we're making all these coins because we lost
a fucking coin toss.
Oh, no.
Oh my God.
We're making 5,000 of these coins.
Oh, my God.
What happened?
We got the coin.
The Ian's and assholes coin.
And then Jeff decided that we're going to see how many we're going to do on a coin flip.
But Gavin's there.
So the numbers are too high.
So the numbers they, no, shut up.
So the numbers you guys landed on was 2,500 for heads and 5,000 for tails.
And it landed on tails.
So now we're going to have 5,000 coins.
It landed on tails and mark the frog.
in the chat, just went, no, I'm not going to buy one of those.
In my defense, I think that was Gavin's idea to flip the coin.
I don't know that it was mine.
You are so.
It was Emily's idea to flip the coin, I think, after saying that it should be $10,000 or $1,000.
And then Emily and I did some negotiations, and we shook hands on $2,500 or $5,000.
Well, that seems it was, it was disgust, so what are you going to do?
either way Jeff was Jeff
Jeff is
partly accountable for this
yeah
here's my thinking though
a coin is smaller than a clock
that's you know what Gavin
you're right
there's also a lot cheaper to make
unless you're in goof world
it's good to know
anyway
we fucking that's one of the
dumber things we've done professionally
is flip a coin to determine
how much of a product to buy
with the numbers being
so askew. I was really hoping to print a thousand of these things
in general, which is what I kept floating. Let's make it a thousand or two thousand maybe.
But you guys went out of control with the bidding. We played smash though
to see who is in control of the company. Yeah, but that's a
that's just a paperwork thing. That doesn't matter. That doesn't matter anywhere.
There's that's title only. This is, somebody's got to write a check for this.
Hmm. And I said, Eric and I are somebody.
Hmm. It's, yeah. I mean, the problem is, is I've seen this all the time
with like shoe resellers.
This is a big thing in that world.
So I don't feel like anybody made a wrong choice.
I think this is within play.
Interesting.
It seems reasonable.
Incumbent upon us to convince the audience
that they need an Ian and an asshole coin
to make decisions in their life in the worst fucking
I gotta have a Gerpler kind of way.
And we have between now and Christmas to do it, I guess,
because that's I think when we'll get them.
I guess the problem here though is when I see.
see this done in the shoe world when they flip the coin typically there's a winner and nobody
won here we have probably got way too many coins and there's nobody that wants the
coins so nobody really it's a complete loss it was it was just the loss of a coin flip
the company that makes the coins won the stakes were entirely wrong by thousands a lot of
coins.
I don't know if I've ever
had 5,000 coins at one time.
That might be a record for me.
That'd be a shitlet of coins.
How heavy is a coin?
Well, I do it with different ways.
Uh, yeah, but
that's a good point.
The regulation coin, the regulation coin
has some nice heft to it, but I couldn't tell you
in goof world pounds.
Okay, how much it is, I'm sorry.
It's less than a pound.
Maybe like a tenth of a pound.
Oh.
See, if I hear 10th of a pound for a
I'm buying 10 coins.
I want to have a pound of coins.
We should sell them in single.
Here's all right.
Here's what we're gonna do.
We're gonna sell individual coins and then we'll sell pound packs.
We'll figure out how many equals a pound and then we'll sell that as a bundle.
So you can buy one coin or you can buy a pound pack.
Or what if you could buy an inch of coins?
That does nothing for me.
Because here's the thing.
That inch points, it's gonna get knocked over at some point.
It's not gonna stay in that inch position.
in that inch position?
Well, I mean, an inch of food might be eaten at some point.
What difference does that mean?
Yeah, but with coins, if I have a pound of coins, then I just know I have a pound
no matter what, no matter where they are.
I have a pound.
Yeah, and with an inch, I've got to be, I could be like, well, I've missing, I've lost
half an inch.
Where am I the two coins?
Yeah, but you're gonna lose like three coins and be like, how much of the inch do I have
left?
I guess the same equates the pounds.
You know what?
it's just that I like pounds more than inches
because I don't know what an inch is
but I know what a pound is.
That's fair.
Well, okay, can I make a request for Goof World?
What if we all come up with like a request
for the laws of the land?
And I don't have mine ready.
Can we please use Celsius?
Yeah.
Oh yeah, that was assumed.
I didn't even consider putting that to a vote
or having to tell the people
of what that is.
It's just, yeah, I'm in Celsius.
Counter, is there a way that we can use Kelvin?
Yeah, I'd prefer to use.
Kelvin. If I can't use Fahrenheit,
I don't want to be able to use Celsius either. I want to
find a new. Yeah. The name of the robot
and moon? I think it should be neutral.
I think, yeah, I think Kelvin feels like a very
neutral.
Like, what do you think the temperature is
right now in Celsius
for you guys? Like, Andrew, like, what do you think?
18. It's 18 right now.
Okay, that's my guess.
Outside? Outside.
Outside. No,
and, yeah. What?
Wait, what? What a
fucking. I can't.
I don't even know where to go with that.
Wait, who's the idiot?
Me?
Yeah.
Tell me why.
When people ask what the, what the fucking temperature is, they're not asking what the
temperature in your office is.
They're asking what the temperature outside is.
All right.
Well, I mean, 18 could be the temperature inside, too, so I was clarify.
What's the temperature today?
Well, inside.
Well, in my garage, it's slightly warmer than my living room.
I haven't checked upstairs yet, but it's closer to the sun.
probably a little warmer.
Well, it's eight,
tell me,
tell me how this strikes you,
uh,
18 degrees Celsius is 291.15 Kelvin.
I mean,
isn't it like,
just you add 270 to Celsius or something?
Yeah,
I think that's what it's,
273.15 just to get there.
Okay.
Well, then that's what I like that.
Yeah.
Not that I have a say.
I'm not the mayor.
It's true.
It's true.
I'm just proposing it,
you know?
That's my proposal.
But do you guys have any,
any, uh,
laws that you would want in
from the beginning, apart from
like the one you already said, weed?
Oh, weed,
weed and abortions.
I just want everything to be legal.
I don't want, I don't want anything to be
illegal.
There's going to be some illegal stuff.
I don't know anything that's like fun, you know?
That's fair.
I'm a big brother up my ass.
Jeff's goof world is like kind of scary
to me. Andrew's goof world is fun and
like the possibilities are exciting.
Jeff's is like, you're going to get stabbed, maybe.
He's not going to get stabbed, but heroin's legal probably, you know.
Just like, whatever.
I think that might lead to stabbing.
I think they might be air-connected.
Okay, I have a different one then.
All right, I have a non-drug-related one.
How about Andrew said something about raising the stakes earlier?
How about in Goof World, if you use the, if you, any time you use the word steak,
S-T-A-K-E, you have to then eat S-T-E-A-K.
at that day
like using that word
that's a steak flag
you're throwing down
like a potato flag
and that means now
you gotta cook a steak
or buy a steak
or eat a steak
I kind of want a steak right now
it's about lunch
I was doing it
I was trying to find
like an alternative
if you were a vegetarian
and I feel like
oh cauliflower steak
cauliflower okay
well yeah
that's fine
as long as there are alternatives
for people that
sure
I want to propose
that it's illegal
to back into
a spot.
Yeah.
Can't back in.
You got to pull in forward.
You're not a secret agent.
You're not,
you're not impressing anyone,
pulling forward.
But then you've got to back out.
I don't understand this.
Why is there a preference?
Because it takes longer.
When you have to back in,
you got to do like this J-turn thing
that's like just holding up
the rest of the target parking lot.
Yeah, but you also have to do it in reverse.
Why do you have opinions on this?
You don't fucking drive.
Why are you,
what are you saying?
Get them, get them, get them, get them right now.
I mean, I didn't invent blue,
but it's my favorite color.
What do you want for me?
Oh, that's my favorite color, too.
I'm just surprised that you care about anything driving related.
If it's something you have to do backwards, no matter which way you do it first, you still have to do it backwards.
I think people who back into their spot think they're really good at backing into their spot,
and I've seen way more people try to do it and go, oh shit, I wasn't quite right and have to keep going forward and like jim it a little bit.
Is there?
Well, first off, Andrew, what's your favorite color?
Orange.
Eric?
I can go with yellow.
Nick.
Great.
Interesting.
Is there an official goof color?
Like, you know how there's like a state bird and a state flower?
Do we have like a goof flower, a goof bird, goof color, goof song?
Like, you know, I do wish that we locked down the color before, uh, weed being legalized.
It feels like that this is an important detail.
Not that the other things aren't important.
Can we mix all our colors together?
What would we get?
probably a terrible
it's not gerpil
what gerp I'm just gonna throw this out there
it seems like gerpil would be our color
yeah I would I would assume right
yeah it's probably
gerpil
and the state bird is obviously
Jack's exotic
it could be the regulation pigeon
or it could be that little woodcock
yeah and to be clear
that's our pigeon now
we own that that's ours
that is true we're buying that from Jack
so that's our pigeon
can we make
an exotic bird be one that none of us
have ever seen in Goof World?
Sure. Like one that's extinct?
I guess, yeah, you could do extinct birds. I'm just saying it's such an exotic
bird, never seen one. Dodo?
I don't know if we could
make it.
It could just be a question mark and we'll just say that no one's seen it yet?
Maybe
the bird has its own flag
and it's drawn by an artist
who doesn't know what they're drawing and is only having it
described to them.
Oh, I like that.
That's an interesting idea.
We should hire, like, 10 artists and all have them draw a regulation bird.
That's the only prompt we give them.
We just need you to draw a regulation bird, and then we see what those 10 birds are.
And how many of them look like our regulation bird.
Because I would bet a few will.
Can we potentially also pick, like, the state punctuation?
Do you have any characters on a keyboard that you would pick to represent us, Henry?
Oh
So what do you mean by us?
Like all of us?
The residence of goof?
Instead of like the state bird
I'd just be like the state punctuation.
Character's on a keyboard.
I'm looking at my keyboard right now.
I got a new keyboard and the keys are on the front of the key
and I don't like it.
That was a mistake.
I shouldn't have got this.
Oh, that's horrible.
I hate those.
Yeah.
I'm not a fan.
I'm going to say
G
G for goof
Right
Right in the middle of the keyboard too
Right in the middle
Punctuation really
But
Okay yeah
I was gonna
So that's like
Thanks
What do you want a comma
For coming
And then another
You have to put like a second G
At the end
Is that a periods
We use tiny Gs
What do you want for me
You want a comma
I think you want a punctuation
Yeah
Yeah if you think it should be the comma
Uh
Take your time though
I'm thinking about it
Because I you know
Like my
My gut goes to period
But period
I feel like is finite
Like it ends things
And I don't know if that's the vibe
There's something serious about a period
That I don't enjoy
For goof world
Jeff has picked
What looks like a straightened out
Slash
It's called a pipe
I believe
It's like in between a backslash
And a forward slash
Yeah it's just like a big boner
I'm going to stick with the comma for now.
Oh, Nick pick the butthole.
Smart.
Oh, they're smart.
The asterisk.
The asterix is pretty good.
Is that punctuation?
Hmm.
Sure, why not?
I have to have a vote.
Goofal.
G was already punctuation, so I guess that can too.
You know, whatever.
Said anything on a keyboard.
Did I?
Oh.
Yes, the asterisk is considered a punctuation mark.
Gavin, honestly, I don't know if you did.
I just said that.
You figure if you just like that.
to Gavin, you can get away with it. You'll be all right.
I just made a statement. I don't know.
It was probably my fault. But I'm sticking with comma.
Any other rules? Any other laws for goof world that people need cleared up?
We good? We good with this goof meeting?
Goof Hall? I'm all good with it. Yep.
Good with goof all. That's good.
Can I hold a small intervention for one of the costs of this podcast?
Okay.
Shit. Hold on a second.
You haven't announced who it's about, right?
No.
Could be any of us.
It could be.
Anybody want to take any guesses on who it is?
I always assume it's me.
I assume it's you too, but the way he...
The way he brought it up, I don't think it is.
I think he would have led right into you.
Do you know what you did?
You don't have to say it, but do you know what the intervention's about?
No, but I'm excited to find out.
Interesting.
Let me post...
Let me post a couple of pictures.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh, not in that one.
What are you doing?
Where are you posting?
Where are these going?
We have Discord.
No, no, it was in someone else's Discord.
All right, ready?
I can't wait to see what you just posted in someone's Discord.
I'm going to have to figure out how to delete that layer.
Okay, the intervention.
Right click it.
Don't tell them now.
You'll do it.
I can't even post.
Okay, I'm posting it in Slack.
Jesus Christ.
Oh, my God.
Get your head in the game.
Can we have an intervention with him on how to post things?
I need Nitro.
All right, here we go.
But you posted it somewhere else.
General.
I would like to have a word with Eric.
Okay.
Eric was right.
Yeah.
Post it.
I'm waiting for these pictures still.
Definitely sending.
Here we go.
This is, Gavin.
This is crazy.
Okay.
Yeah, these are burgers.
Yeah.
Eric is eating the most.
disgusting looking flat burgers
that it makes me
it makes me not want to eat a burger
so you're putting me off
so they look like they're from the same place
they are which makes me think that that's their style
and their smash burgers
I can have Nick stand up for me on this
Nick I got two burgers from Mad Burger
the place that Michael ordered
when he got us the sack of burgers
at 100% of those
those are sloppy but they're good
They are so, so good.
They are flat as hell.
Those are singles.
The doubles have a little bit more substance.
Those are Madburgers.
Woo!
Sounds like a ghost kitchen.
It's like a truck.
They all look wet and stepped on.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And they're so good.
I will say they did, when I looked at the second photo of them,
and I saw that, okay, clearly this is a place that does that thing.
I did like to
pretend that you were just falling on your burgers
like the Subway sandwich guy
I was doing Subway sandwich stuff to them
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Because they do look like you fell on them
Yeah
Did you by any chance guillotine these burgers
Before you ate them
Yeah
Did you stomp on them and rattle your balls on them?
Yeah I did it in a romper stomper and hurt my nuts
They are
Mad Burgers is so good
And it's my style of burger
I want a like
Sloppy Smash
burger. Oh, it's, oh, I love it. I love that
style of hamburger. You got to catch up, you got to get those numbers up, dude. Come on, Gavin.
What's your style of, you ever had a smash burger, Gavin? Have I had one? Yeah.
I've been to see my half. You should, like, confirm
that during this burger year. You should try it. You should get
mad burgers. Oh, that's a fun idea. Don't we need the onion a car soon? Shouldn't we
go get burgers? Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. We're past the fucking deputy thing now. We can get back
to do another stuff in town.
We've gone short road trips.
I'm not even going to get into it.
I'm not even going to get into it.
Yeah, we do need to do that.
Yeah, we do need to do it.
What is he not going to get into?
Get into it.
Have a look at the fucking schedule.
What's that?
Hold on a second.
I'm looking.
He's saying that Gavin has a work trip, so you can't do the onions.
Oh, right. Out, out. That's it.
He's double out.
Oh, he's out. Yeah.
I've got some out of it.
We do have to do it.
And in a few weeks, I'm sure we will.
That's why we're recording today, the middle of September for the first day of October.
Looks like we'll be doing that in October sometime, actually.
Yes, sir.
Oh, a spooky flat burger.
Oh, ho.
Uh-huh.
I hope that Gavin loves the mad burger and that it becomes your preferred.
I hope this slips on you in a way that like, you're like, fuck, I, I do.
Dude, it's so good.
Like, it just becomes my thing.
It becomes your thing.
I think that'd be the funniest option.
It looks too wet for me.
Next month when we all get together, man, I'll order some mad burgers.
I think this could flip the other way, though, on Eric, where I like that Eric has become
a popcorn influencer for people having popcorn delivered to them and just putting them up.
You are so in the wrong.
There is an overwhelming majority there.
Like, yeah, this is a totally normal thing.
Or he's so against it.
Yeah.
It's ridiculous how many people, every time I've brought this up, or I'm like, oh, yeah,
Scorpio's Guy, he just gets this popcorn to go.
everyone that I've brought this up to has gone like
I've never done that but it's a really good idea
and I'm like what are you like that's ridiculous
that's like getting popcorn like
getting it delivered to you from like DoorDash or something
and people go oh that's a really good idea too
that's those aren't good ideas
those are bad ideas
no it's great as Eric brought out
it was discussion on a different podcast
that Eric works on creating character
creating character podcast yeah
okay
I keep getting
influenced by it because somebody
made a post in subreddit that you talked about it
and then I was like hmm you know what popcorn at home
sounds really good then you clipped it
that discussion and I had it randomly pop up on
TikTok and so I ordered popcorn that weekend
which is the second time I've done it
ridiculous. Did a movie night
it was delicious
but you bought the flavor flavacola
what that stuff was cool didn't you?
Yeah but I stopped using it
once Eric established
that you're supposed to use it in the cooking process
and then it's not just the season.
So instead of using it correctly,
you stopped using it all together.
Yeah, because the whole point was that
I could do popcorn from my desk.
I was looking to make popcorn.
Why can't you do it at your desk?
Because I don't know if it would work
with an air popper.
I think you have to have like a kettle situation.
Well, it would put one of those at your desk.
Isn't it air popped at the movie theater?
Is it air popped at the movie theater?
They put it in a giant metal basket and go,
chag, chag, jigger, jigger.
No, that's not airbox.
I think that's just shift it off the bucket, isn't it?
I don't think it's air pop.
Yeah.
No, I don't think it's air pop.
I won't use a hair dryer.
Why don't you just get like a little electric stove thing for your desk?
I have too much things on my desk.
You do have too much things on your desk because you're spilling stuff on some of your things on your desk.
Yeah, I'm in the process of, I've remodeled the desk twice,
and I'm going to have to do it again.
I'm trying to add another monitor.
What does that mean?
You've remodeled the desk?
Well, maybe it was an overly fancy word to say,
I've taken stuff off the desk and then rearranged it.
Yeah, I agree.
That was an overly fancy word.
Definitely.
Yeah.
I remodeled my bowels earlier when I took a shit.
Everybody's remodeling.
So do you have any current pictures of your desk?
Are we allowed to see the present day?
You trust this?
If he sent a picture of his desk, you would think it's his
fucking desk? That's a good point.
Like, he won't even send her, his cats.
I like that we, he had that screenshot of him
posting his cats on Twitter and someone
replying to it saying, those are my cats.
We haven't seen enough pictures of Andrew's world
in a long time. We should figure out a way to get Andrew
to send us a photo from his room every episode.
It can just be a corner.
It can be under the bed, just something, just something
to give us a little bit of insight.
I feel like his world is so mysterious to us in 2025.
Yeah, why don't you give us something?
What are you got there?
What can you show us now?
I'm looking.
Yeah?
It's not.
What's too secret about the desk for today?
What's too secret about the desk is that I'm in the process of like rearranging a bunch of stuff.
So my desk is unusually filled right now.
Ooh.
See, that sounds like a perfect time to send it to us.
Yeah.
Yeah, because then you've got the excuse.
of like it's not a shithole, you're just in the middle of a renovation or remodel, as you
said. So there'll be no judgment on our parts. Well, it's, it's, let me, I'll just, I'll tell you
some of the things that are on my desk right now. I have the puzzle from the puzzle when we did
the puzzle building race. Which we need to get back to. Yeah. Then on top of that, I have a
deluxe edition, uh, collection of immortality. It is like a thing they sold that is a book about the
game and all of the scripts from the movies in the game like it's really it's awesome it's very
cool was that a lost series for us uh yeah because we don't have that right those first it's let's play
and it was on uh it was on reach your teeth yeah that was fun and it's very cool i've had so many
people reach out and say like i love that series and i had that experience with my friends it's it was
very cool it's awesome than that connected with people the way it did uh i have that i have a bag of
Costido's corn chips next to it.
Yum.
Yeah.
And that's sort of, I got a cup.
I got a gurpler.
I got the cosmic gurp in front of me with some water.
It's a lot.
Got a lot of things going on here.
Mark the frog yesterday in my chat.
They were asking about, you know, what we're going to do for the gurpler coming up, the next gurpler.
And I was like, you're going to love it.
Don't worry about it.
You're just going to like it.
And Mark the Frog said
we should do next summer
we should do a bomb pop
Gerbler.
Oh.
Yeah.
Bomb pop is good.
That'd be pretty cool.
I like a pop pop pop pop.
I will say to go back to the popcorn
for a minute.
Please do.
I thought that I could persuade Eric
that this is actually a great thing.
But I got foiled.
The world doesn't work
the way it used to you.
Because they,
when you get a popcorn like that,
so it was a buy one,
get one.
So I had two large popcorns.
and they put another bag
of like another large bag
over the popcorn so it doesn't spill
and I had the thought
of when I was younger
they would do free refills
on large bags of popcorn
and I thought wait
then I just essentially get
like five bags of popcorn
by doing this
I guess
it was the whole plan of like I could take these
I could refill them it'd be great
I could use this to my advantage
At that point, Eric, would you be pro this move?
Pro just going and refilling the same popcorn over and over?
If these were refillable bags, does that change anything for you?
Well, yeah, yeah, because you're not, yes, my problem with the whole thing is that I think it's insane to pay like the 1150 to walk in to get popcorn to walk out with the pop.
Like, that's just crazy to me.
That's the value is not there.
Yeah, that's nuts.
I get it.
I feel like it's a Gavin take,
but I understand where you're coming from.
Thanks.
Because it's a flavor thing,
but it turns out that these movie theater bags,
you can't just take them to get refilled whenever.
It's like three hours from the point of purchase is your window.
Oh.
How do they establish when you bought them?
I don't know if it's like part of the receipt or what, but...
Is it like a kid's play area as a kid where you get...
like a dinosaur stamp
and all the stegosaurus
have to go home after two hours?
I get, I don't, yeah,
I'm not sure how they track it
just from my reading of it.
It's like essentially
you have until the movie ends
is sort of the idea to refill it.
But I don't know if they police that.
So maybe it's the works, but...
I bet you could get around it.
That does seem like an impossible life hack
though to essentially buy popcorn once
and then get free popcorn for the rest of your life.
Well, how much would you pay
for a subscription
to a bucket.
And it's just free refills of popcorn
whenever you want. Would you pay like 200 bucks
a month for that? It's just a van.
What are you saying?
What the fuck? That was the number?
That was the number out the gate?
Are you at your mind?
The rest of development mom saying like
here's $20 go buy to Apple.
Like you just don't know how things cost.
Yeah, but didn't you say it was like 30 bucks
to get one bag delivered or something?
No.
It was, the popcorn itself was, I think, $9.99.
Okay.
And then I got one for free.
And then delivery was probably, it's probably like $7 and then a $10 tip on top of that.
So about $30.
Yeah.
So I guess like $30.
Right.
So wouldn't you say that $200 for the month is good value?
Are you doing this life hack six times, seven times a month?
Well, no, here's the thing.
with this
is it getting delivered
every time
it's there's a just
oh the delivery
is part of this
subscription fee
yeah
is a van going around
constantly
and when you hit the button
you leave your bucket out
and they fill it a popcorn
no I don't
I don't have as good
as this sounds
I do not have
$200 for a monthly
popcorn subscription
200 is outrageous
that's a $20
service
that's nuts
Eric why is it outrageous
if one attempt
costs 30
you bucks.
Because you would have to
that's so many times of getting popcorn.
I've done this now twice in my life, Gavin.
Yeah, no, I know.
But if you watch more than six movies a buck.
But he's also buying popcorn in the most expensive way
possible.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like he's going out of his way to spend more money on popcorn
than a person needs to by doing it this way.
Alamo Draft House has a $20 season pass
so you can see as many movies in a month
that you can see one movie a day, every day, in a month,
for $20.
Yeah.
It is cheaper than if I were to go see a movie at the theater
and a drink.
So in a sense, I'm saving.
Well, Eric, it's different because they make money
on the food there.
And also, they don't drive the new movie
and set it up at your house.
You still have to go there and buy food.
I think $200 is, I think $200 is,
crazy. I think it's crazy. I think it's such a crazy. It is crazy. But it's not. It's crazy because
you're ordering freaking movie popcorn at home. That is crazy. But I'd say for the value, it's not
that bad. It's about the experience. Gavin, I think it's crazy and I think you're crazy.
How much would you pay for an infinite refill of popcorn in a bucket for a month? Yeah, $20.
$20. 20. But how would that operate as a business?
It's a bad business. I think you're crazy.
like this version of shark tank where you go up to the sharks and you say how much would you pay for it
and then they tell you and then you tell them that doesn't work for the business.
You start yelling at them. You start yelling and saying how would that work?
I'm not out here defending the $200 as great. I'm saying the actual entire thing is stupid.
You surely couldn't charge less than $200.20 for that.
What you guys want a business to fail?
You can potentially order 30 popcorn for 200 bucks.
Delivered to your house from the movie theater.
It's tremendous value.
The idea is stupid, not the price.
I thank you.
I'm out.
The price is atrocious.
The price is atrocious.
The price is stupid.
That's why I've done it twice in my life.
One person subscribes to your service and it funds all the popcorn you have to buy as the manufacturer for the entire year.
You can movie theater popcorn delivered.
To your bucket for like six bucks and you have to go anywhere.
Now it's $6?
You speak of my language.
Six dollars seems like it's worth it.
If you did it every day, it'd be $6, wouldn't it?
About, well, six and a half?
Are you eating a bucket of popcorn every day?
How much, how long past the first month are you going to live, do you think?
Yeah, I don't.
I don't want to do this.
I think part of the joy of the movie theater popcorn experience is it's not constant.
it's a delight it is a delight yeah and i think you can make the case that if let's say my
$30 popcorn thing i'm not paying ticket prices for a movie i'm doing a movie at home not paying
drink prices it's outrageous price for popcorn specifically but if you turn it into a movie type
night as opposed to going to the theater i think it financially is probably a little bit cheaper
I play.
But I wouldn't want to spend $200.
$200 is insane.
Yeah, $200 is insane.
You're crazy.
I agree with you.
The next time we do a sloppy Joe's bingo or like a big long live stream at work,
eventized live stream, we should order movie theater popcorn.
Yeah.
Nick is so in.
Like, well, he saw that, he saw that coming.
As soon as you started that sentence, he saw that coming down the road and got ramped up.
Yeah, you did.
Oh, let's do.
Hey, when can we do the next one?
I mean, I'm sure we'll do a sloppy Joe's in October for Fantasy Week and Halloween and all that stuff.
It's not like we have any time in September, so it's fine, yeah.
Eric, what about $200 a month, right?
Okay.
You get a nice, fresh.
It's the worst million dollars but ever.
$200, but.
You get a lovely, you get a lovely hot coffee at your doorstep every morning.
Oh!
$200?
How big?
The size of the coffee is.
is the thing that you're...
What size makes it worth it to you, Nick?
Big gulp.
This guy's insane.
This guy's insane. This guy's fucking crazy.
I mean, for money, yeah.
No, I wouldn't want a $200 coffee subscription.
But you probably pay that anyway.
Do I?
Don't you get coffee like every day from places?
I grind my own beans and make.
my own coffee every day. I don't buy coffee. I don't. The last time I bought coffee was probably
over a week ago. Bad play. You know what? That play. I mean, I do the same. You didn't buy a coffee
Monday when you came into the office for break show? Oh, I did right as I was walking out. You're
right. Yeah. Yeah. I saw you go in. Yeah. Oh, you're right. He's talking Mr. Fuller shit.
He probably, but to be fair, I think he probably played like five bucks for it or something.
Yeah, that's fair. Not six 50, which is what this would cost.
Possibly.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Got you there, Gavin.
Yeah, take that.
Yeah, I mean, you get to go drive and get it, though.
So anyway, you got bad business ideas, Gavin.
I don't think they're very good.
Jeff, take us out.
Before we get take it out, just really quickly.
It's a very quick thing.
I just am curious, not Gavin.
Eric, how do you feel about Simon Sess?
Ooh.
What?
How do I feel about Simon says?
Yeah, what are your opinions on Simon says?
Uh, I don't know.
I guess I'm okay with it.
Why?
Oh, okay. I assumed you'd hate it.
No, I mean, like, it's not like I love it.
It's like, I don't think I could give it more than any kind of like, yeah, okay, sure.
Like, there is a side quest in Borderlands 4 that is just a continuous series of playing Simon says.
And I thought, Eric, will fucking hate this.
Oh, I'm not going to love that in that game.
I don't play that game with sound on.
How are they, how am I?
I'm not going to be able to beat this side quest.
I don't, I listen to other stuff will play.
I don't want to listen to this video game.
This is, oh, my.
God. Oh, no. I just, as someone who has such a deep passion of hatred for board games,
I assume that Simon says would be an even deeper level of hate. No, it's just, it's like,
it's fine because it feels like an I spy type situation where, uh, you know, it's outside of a
board and I can, how are you, how do you, where do you land on heads up seven up?
You can look at the shoe of the person when they come and tap you. So you got them. You got them dead
right.
How do you,
where do you,
how do you feel
about Red Rover?
Oh,
send me on over,
baby.
I'm,
I'm blasting through
that line.
What's seven-up
heads-up?
Heads up,
seven-up?
Yeah,
what was,
sorry,
yeah,
if you haven't played
that game?
How's it go?
It's kind of like
duck, duck,
goose.
Yeah,
everyone puts their head
down and then there's
like three people
or whatever
that come over
and tap random people
on the shoulder,
and if you get picked,
you have to stand up
and say like,
oh,
I think Gavin tapped me.
And then they're like, no, it wasn't.
That's the whole game.
Like thinking about it, that's the whole game.
How do you feel about Chicago Shootout?
That's not real.
Chicago Shootout is not real.
Stop talking about Chicago Shootout.
It's not real.
I just got really bummed out.
Why?
I realize I'm probably never going to play Duck Duck Goose again.
We get Duck, Duck, Duck Goose.
You want to duck, duck goose?
I just feel like I didn't play enough of it as a kid.
Think about, now think about it.
We all get in the office.
We order movie theater popcorn.
We played Dunk Dunkoos.
Andrew chases us with the robot.
It's what a day.

all other people should say yes to this. Yeah, let me know what you just said yes to and let us know
