Getting ready for a game means being ready for anything. Like packing a spare stick. I like to be prepared. That's why I remember, 988, Canada's suicide crisis helpline. It's good to know, just in case. Anyone can call or text for free confidential support from a train responder anytime. 988 suicide crisis helpline is funded by the government in Canada. Hello and welcome to another episode of the regulation podcast.

This is episode 98. My name is Candyman. With me as always, Babyface, Lil Sgetty, Trigger Man, and Dillipop. Hi, yeah, guys. What's your favorite candy, candy man? Dude, you know what? My wife got me the other day. It's pretty good.

I guess this counts as candy. Is a frozen Butterfinger. Like Butterfinger ice cream bar thing? Pretty fucking good, dude. I had about all of them in one sitting. My favorite is hair. What? Your favorite's what?

Your favorite's hair? Well, I just, in case Andrew was going to ask me what kind of trigger my favorite one was. Oh, hair trigger. I was trying to, I was going through the Cadbury lineup going, hair, is there a hair boy? I thought maybe that's what you, I thought maybe that's what England called like cotton candy or something. Oh, that would work.

I can see that. We do call it candy floss. Yeah, that's dumb. I've heard that terrible. I'm not a candy floss guy. What if it came in a flush, dumb packet, though? Oh, that'd be terrible.

Trying to pull floss or candy out, like a flaw, awful. Do you remember those breath strip things that would melt your mouth? Those were big. Oh yeah. Oh, yeah. That was like a whole craze.

Like Listerine breath strips. Yeah. It was always fun to have a whole packet at once. Exactly. Put all of them in your mouth at once. Yeah. Yeah. Burns you up.

Why was that a technology that was so sudden and then so everywhere? What was that? People were really excited about it. I guess it's hard to carry around a little packet of mouthwash all the time.

It is true But how is it Different than a breath mint? Is it different than mints? Oh yeah No I mean it's just one of those things That somebody tried

That they thought was a good idea They got behind And the public just didn't want it You know I feel like the public Really wanted it for a time I think the public went crazy For these things

Briefly but you don't see them on the shelves anymore do you No no no That's what I'm saying Is that like They were so big Why did that technology Happened so suddenly

And then disappear just as quickly It was the pogs of mouthwash it's like if they made one iPhone and then they just went well we're all over this it was just like so different their mouth pogs exactly like Andrew said that people loved them and they were cool

and they were novel for like six months and then six months later you went like this does not give me as good of a fresh I just want to mint I don't need to go through the whole thing it's melty and weird and my tongue feels heavy for a second and I think it's just one of those things that it was cool and neat and then in practice you realized

you don't use it if people still used it If people still used it, they'd be selling everywhere. They'd be at gas stations in front of the counter, but clearly nobody wants them anymore. Were there flavor options? I feel like it was just one flavor. Yeah, I don't know.

I think there was like a blue and a green. There were more. There's like medicinal ones too. Like, this was a way for kids to like take medicine also. Oh, strange. What if we made a communal mouthwash pop of, like, imagine like a salt lick. But it was listerine.

And you could just walk up to it and lick it. Let's not. Wait. Well, I guess we could, you know what, Gavin? We could do that in the house. You want to do that in the office? Do you mean like a literal, like an actual salt lake thing? Yeah, but it's made of like crystallized listerine.

And you have to lick it to clean and it just lasts for, is it like a salt like? How long do these last? How long does the salt last on average? I think it would last like a decade. I think so I grossed myself out I don't usually You're talking about like year seven

You've seen the deterioration Of this communal salt lake breath strip thing And people are like Oh it's getting pretty low But there's three more years left I think I think I like weirded my mind out When we were talking about those Endless hand towels

And how gross they go Oh yeah And I was just trying to make up something worse than that You did communal salt like I don't I don't think I've ever seen a cow lick, a salt lick. Oh, is it for cows?

I think it's for horses. It's for horses? That's why I've never seen a cow do it. You've also, you've never seen a dog do it. You've never seen a bird do it. I definitely've never seen a bird do it. What does the horse get out of it? Salt. Salt. Salt.

What? Does a horse need salt? Does a horse need salt? Apparently, yes. Food? Yes. Okay. They got a whole lick of it.

It's like an electrolyte thing, right? Like, they're replenishing a lot that they're, losing. But, but more importantly, if we could do something, because we're really standing in the like cool mint sort of section of this, it could be anything, any flavor, right? Couldn't it be

anything? If we were going to have a big lick, I'd want it to be a jawbreaker. Like a giant jawbreaker. Then everybody gets to contribute. Like a big sugar lick? Yeah. Oh. I mean, that's what a jawbreaker is, yeah. It is. Imagine the flies.

Oh, God. I like the of unlocking flavors, but I also feel like jawbreakers are incredibly overrated. Unlucking flavor is like enough. I like a salt lick, that's fine. Jawbreaker overrated. I'd much rather lick a giant jawbreaker than a salt lake with a bunch of dudes. I'm improving on the fucking product left and right here. 100%.

I just have very close feelings to the jawbreaker of being someone who loved them as a kid and then had that sad realization as an adult, they kind of suck. They're not great. So you're saying what you would want, like the jawbreaker changing flavors, like this giant communal jawbreaker, like it just goes to,

you're on grape and you're going crazy, you're licking it every day, and then all of a sudden, lemon shows and you're like, I'm out for nine months? Yes. It could be like a communal calendar where there's 12 flavors.

Oh, wow. You're up. We got a strawberry, We got blue raspberry at the ready. Dude, it's Cherry September. All right. Oh, man. Cherry thinks they're going to break through to orange any day now.

You guys be on the lookout. It's like the 31st of March. You're like, where's the next color? You just suck it away constantly. I'm going to put in overtime today. Got to stay late. It was like four different people licking simultaneously because it's like the size of a brick

in different sections unlock at different time. You know, Eric posted a picture of those listerine coolments in the little container, and it's reminding me that the best part about those things was how satisfying that container was to close. Oh, yeah! Do you remember that? Had that perfect little pop, little click, a little bit of pressure. I like a good click. Those things were all fun in games until you washed one.

I don't know that I ever washed one. Oh, and then you have minty clothes. You have a minty pockets. Yeah, that turns into like a warped slab of Listery. Yeah, that's tough. I hadn't even considered that. You said all fun and games, but I heard oral fun and games. I was like, he's really.

It's oral fun and games. All right, that's the episode title. Thank you. Great. Oral fun and games. That's got to offend someone's tagline. Oral fun in games? It's oral fun of games.

I think you should go back to that adult store and find it. Why was he so low down? What was that guy doing? down there. I'm so mad my eyes can't take pictures because I would have to snap one big time there.

Hey guys, check out this picture of this low man I saw at the porn store. Yeah, this is at the porn store. He was low. So we've been in the office a lot more lately and Eric and I did something cool. I think, I don't know if we talked about in an episode

or if it was between our little, like during our little recording break, but we went and bought a record player. Oh, yeah. I said, Eric, and Nick was there as well. And we bought a record player, so we've been listening to records in the office,

and we really are turning the office into like a 70s bar, minus the alcohol. And it just looked like, we need to get a pool table in there. I thought you were about to say, we need to get alcohol, and it made me nervous.

No, no, no, no, I'm good on the alcohol. But a pool table would help to go with the record player and the pinball machine. we discovered, I discovered the other day I went in just to listen to records and play pinball because it's just really fun to hang out there. So I was playing Earth Shaker and listening to a Jawbreaker album and I discovered that any time you trigger an Earth Shaker, which is the multi-ball, the record skips two and a half

songs. That's awesome. That's why I hooked up the Bluetooth thing so you can listen to music off your phone because obviously Earth Shaker is going to shake the record play. one foot away. It so shakes the Earth, man. The whole house shakes when Earth Shaker goes off. It is so funny to be listening to like song one of morphine

and then song four of morphine. We should make a rule that you're not allowed to madly skip a song. You have to hit a shaker to move on. Absolutely. Yeah. You can even have like a contest of an album speed run and it becomes within a pinball

trying to get multi balls as winning as opposed to high score. It's a great idea. great idea. Does it always skip forwards instead of back? I think so, but I don't know. Well, I'm going to try to skip it back. I guess I'll just give it a shot. I'll just see what happens. Maybe if we put the record play it on the other side of the machine.

Me and Jeff were talking about it yesterday. We were playing Earth Shaker. And, dude, when you get in a rut on that game, it's the worst feeling in the world and you cannot break out. It is so, that's such a. brutal machine. It's just a slow creep to a lost ball and there's nothing you can do to break out of it. It's been my favorite thing to watch Eric recently just hit nothing. Like keep the ball alive for like a minute straight. He's like flipping. The ball's moving. But it's just like bouncing off metal and the

side and it's hitting nothing in the game. I think the most insulting thing in pinball is when the machine does a ball search while you're still playing. Because it hasn't registered anything. Oh, man. It's so, it's just, oh, it's no points going up, and it's just shooting back and forth, hopping around, and I have enough time to look at Gavin and shrug. Oh, it's so bad. It's like being in some kind of a vortex.

You can always tell when Eric's having a bad day at the pinball, because he always goes, do you think we need to re-level the pinball machine? I think it might be at a level. Yeah, it seems like I think there's something wrong. Guys, there's something wrong with this machine, I think. I think it's time to check it out again. It's a tough machine. The office is such a shithole that I'm not convinced entirely that when it does an earth shaker,

it isn't slightly burrowing into the ground. Like through the wood. It's going to, it's, when we move out of here, they need to re-level the foundation. It's going to be bad. I was just reading that San Francisco is sinking faster than they thought. If you told me that that room was sinking as well, I totally believe it. Oh, man. When did vinals become cool again?

When did they become like a thing that people collected? You know, I don't know that they ever stopped being cool. Oh, I think they did. I think sales definitely went down and came back. Sure. I think a lot of it is due to like you trying to play a song on your iPod or your phone. And it's like, oh, it's not, you don't actually have it anymore as a file. We've got to stream that.

I think, I guess what I'm saying is like, I grew up, I remember eight tracks. They weren't like super prevalent when I was a kid, but I remember them and they, people had them and my family had one. But records were like the main medium for music when I was a kid. I lived through tapes and I had hundreds of tapes. And I lived through CDs and I had maybe a thousand CDs at some point in my life. Sure. And now I am 50 years old and I still have every record I ever purchased. I couldn't scare up a tape or a CD to save my life right now.

They all went away at some point. But for some reason, my vinyl collection followed me through my entire life. And I don't know. I think that just, I don't know. To me, they've always been cool, I guess. Oh, yeah. I think on the, like, I think the actual sort of feeling for it is a lot of like old records and everything. Everything's mixed for vinyl.

Like old stuff is mixed to be played out of two speakers or these like big headphones that you wear. And then now everything is mixed for your car or for like little earbuds. Sure. And so going back to like the way that things are supposed to sound like with intention. I think there was a lot of that that came through. There's like an intentionality to, oh, why this record sounds the way that it does. But then at the same time, I think that it's a curly cue mustache suspenders wearing hipster thing that was cool in like 2012. And that really helped the bump.

And now it's just a thing that's everywhere. That's sort of what I'm asking because I feel like kids now completely understand vinyl, buy vinyl. They make specific products for it. Well, Target's like selling CDs. Yeah. Yeah, CDs are kind of, yeah. I think kids now like physical media in general. I agree with that.

I think that's what it is. It's like this is the first generation to grow up with zero physical media and they see it. And there's something that it goes back to why the record player is still cool. There's just something about turning a knob and picking up the needle and putting it down. There's a ceremony to it. There's a tactile nature to it that enhances the experience in some minor way. And I think kids today are discovering that because it started as a novelty, but I think they start to crave it. You know?

Yeah. And also the ephemeral nature. of like the fact that we don't own anything digitally and companies could go out of business or take it away from us tomorrow and suddenly what you thought was your library of content no longer exists. Totally. For me it was, I've been watching the ghost whisper an episode that aired in like 2008 and they had a whole,

hang on, she whispers to ghosts. Well, she actually does a whisper. There's actually not a lot of wistful. Full-throated. What are you talking? Jennifer Love Hewitt.

You really glossed over. I'm watching the ghost weird. whisper? Yeah, it's on Disney. Yeah, no, I'm familiar. You're watching it? That's just its background TV. She talks to ghosts. She solves problems. She's like the Columbo of Dead People. It's a bad show. It's a terrible show. It doesn't really go anywhere and it's infuriating where it tees its plots and none of this is important. The point is, is they had a whole episode where they've got a vinyl player and they had to explain it to like the kid in the show and I thought

oh this this feels so disconnected from now but in this moment 2008 I do think that this scene makes sense you sold me with Columbo for dead people it's not it's not that good Columbo it's not it's so not

that like he is so overselling the ghost I'm not overselling the ghost I'm not overselling the point is it's like a person who solves ghosts get stuck and they need to go on and she helps them resolve their issues like six feet under style.

I never saw that one. But I will say last episode I saw had Orlando Jones and Elizabeth Moss in a guest starring spot. Pretty good. Pretty good cast for an episode. And that's you selling us on the show? Or what was that?

Oh, there's no selling. You shouldn't watch it in my opinion. It's not good. But I watch it. Then why are you watching it? It's on. I watch it. Now is this, does she jack off the ghosts

or was that the other show? No, that's the other show. No, no. Okay. I've been reading about that show a little bit, and I could be completely, this might be all wrong. But from what I read,

she got pregnant in real life and then tried to make the show cast her real life husband to play the part of her fictional husband who made her pregnant in the show. And that either ended the show. There was some drama around that, but it was a whole thing.

Apparently. It's like drama. It sounds like drama. I think Jennifer Love Hewitt is probably incredibly difficult to work with. She's from Waco. Is she? Born in Waco. I was,

because the last thing I saw her in was the kind of like, I don't know, whether they call it a legacy sequel or I know what you did last summer. And she apparently has like rules that she'll only come back if her character doesn't die. And it's just that, like, it feels silly. Feels like a silly rule. I think the last thing I saw her in was the commercial where the meteors are flying down. Oh, that's such a thing. a good commercial. Oh, wow.

I didn't know that was her. Yeah, dude. Wow. Yeah. And then it's and then it's a guy going brace for impact for meteors that are falling to her. Oh, I'm so into it. Did you not see that trailer, Jeff, of 911? Yes, I saw it. I just realized that was her in the trailer. Yeah. I mean, just imagine sitting down and going like, honey, we're not going out tonight. We've got to watch 911.

The meteors are coming. Oh, it's great. I wanted to watch it. It sold me. It's a great, terrible trailer. Yeah, right, you're watching Ghost Whisperer, though. I also just watched the second Herbie movie. Herbie Returns or something. When you say the second Herbie movie, is this like the modern day

No, the old one? The old, like, 70s. The old, old 70s one. Okay, great. The Lovebug returns? I think it is. Herbie rides again? Love bug returns.

I think it's the love bug returns. It's the first, it's not even called Herbie. It's called The Love Bug. then I think the second one is to Lovebug returns. And then it's like Herbie goes bananas. So, yeah, then they just like lean into the Herbie thing. Great villain.

Is it a sentient car? Yes. But it's also a sentient universe. They, like in the first movie, it's just, it's, well, the first movie is just Herbie. And the second movie, it's like a sentient rail car and a sentient jukebox. And then, I mean, spoilers. There's a scene where Herbie summons all the other. sentient bugs to chase after the villain.

There's like 70 autonomous cars behind Herbie leading the charge. Great villain, though. They don't write villains like they did in that time period. His name is Alonzo Hawk, and he's just a real estate developer who loves destroying buildings of other people, and the beginning of the movie is this hilarious montage of him just pushing plungers down to destroy buildings as buildings fall. It's just him doing it over and over again with this giant smile. It's awesome.

Alonzo Hawk, great villain. If we're doing a villain's draft, another one, he'd be on the board. He looks like my wife's uncle John. Where are my gloves? Come on, heat.

Marvel Television's Wonder Man, an eight-episode series, now streaming on Disney Plus. A superhero remake. Not exactly what we'd expect from an Oscar-winning director. Action! Simon Williams, audition for Wonder Man.

I'm going to need you to sign this, assuming you don't have superpowers. I'll never work at Kenneth Anyone far now My lips are sealed Marvel Television's Wonder Man All eight episodes now streaming Only on Disney Plus I wonder if there's enough out there

To do a sentient cars draft Well it made me think of Fast 8 That was the first time I think I'd seen like a bunch of zombie cars Essentially I mean that Knight Rider Oh yeah Christine

I mean it's the whole Cars universe right The Wear Call in Futurama Lightning McQueen Lightning yeah Cars Uniform Who is the car that drove Roger Rabbit around? That car, that one. Johnny Cab in Total Recall.

Johnny Cabia? Johnny Cabiard? I already said NightRoe. That's a good one. That's a lot. That's probably draftable. Yeah, we could probably do it. But Night Ride is not the car, though.

Optimus Prime? Oh shit, Transformers, Bumblebee? Yeah. Oh, wow. If you open up the Transformers door. That's also not really a car, though. is it? Drives like a car.

So when he's a car, what is that? It's a car half the time. It's a man called up into a car. What, not a man, but like a, it's a different car. What? It's not a man. That was a terrible example. Manformers.

Are we doing man formers? Man formers. Man in disguise. Can we call this episode man formers? I like man formers better than all joy or whatever. Man in the car. That's an oral show. So when I'm in the car, am I a man former when I'm driving the car?

But you know what I mean? It's not a car that can think of that. He's a car and people can drive him. I don't understand. People get in him and drive around in him. He functions as a car. Yeah, but only if he's seen one. He's not good about in space.

He's not been a car yet. What? But he's a car. I don't know how him being a car means he's not a car. You think a chef is only a chef when they're cooking? Can't be a chef in. space, Andrew. But Chevy isn't his occupation.

He's not... In space, nobody can hear you dice. British isn't your occupation, but you're still considered British. Oh, interesting. But only because I've been there. Right, just like he's seen a car. Yeah, but he didn't see one until he came to Earth. And then he's been, that he became a car.

Right. I don't know how he's not a car, even though he's a car. Andrew wasn't born a professional podcaster. He became one. Oh, God. Yeah, but Kit is a car. Okay. Okay, great.

Great. So that's two different cars. Got it. Well, actually, Kit wasn't a car. He was a steering wheel and some bolts. And then he became a car when they made it. But wasn't it built to be a car? You can use a bolt for whatever.

What? You got to use a bolt to make a car. A bolt's in a car. You can use a bolt for anything, Gavin. I love, I love this hill. you're choosing to die on, but man, I don't get it. What do you mean you don't get it? Like, what's the origin story of...

If I bought a transformer car, I had him when I was a kid. Optimus Prime was a fucking truck. I drove around my front yard. Sometimes he was a dude, but most of the time he was a car. He had wheels. He went forward, he went backwards. Sometimes he went left. Sometimes he went right.

He went, phewkwkwopo. What's the origin of Herbie? Was it like a man's soul trapped in a car? Was it built and it suddenly became alive? No, they set up that they're, that items are capable of having souls. It's like a, control.

It's like a mysticism. You know what? Honestly, that is how I've been viewing it. I've been viewing every sentient thing is an object of power, and it adds a lot to the story for me. It's a real Alan wake backing to this whole thing.

I like it. It's in the remedy universe. Absolutely. Gavin is Chuckie a doll? Yeah, absolutely. Well, was he constructed as a doll? He was constructed. as a man.

Yeah, he was a man who became a doll. And then a doll got constructed and then his soul got put into the doll. Okay, like, if it's a soul transfer, right? I think it's, it was always a doll at some point. Like, there was a doll built and a man ended up in it. But... Okay, so I'm trying to... The transformer wasn't... didn't start as that car. A canoe started as a tree and then somebody turned it into a canoe.

So you're saying whatever you're born as is the thing that you are no matter what? Well, if a space alien came down and turned into the canoe, I would say that wasn't originally a canoe. I think I'm getting it. It's not about what it was originally. It's what it is now. I think I'm getting his point. Even by your words, you said it's a canoe. You said it turned into a canoe.

So you're telling me when we play roadside research, you don't consider yourself a convenience store employee. You just consider yourself an alien fully. I don't know why I want to die on this hill, but I just feel. like there are cars sentient cars that will always cause. No, I get what you're saying. I see what you're saying. I get the point. And let me,

let me throw this out there. Maybe we can get on the same page here. A guy in a gilly suit isn't a bush, but he's betraying himself to be a bush. Am I getting it? You wouldn't draft a gilly suit, man, as a sentient bush. You got some man.

I tried to, I tried to join his side. I tried to help him. I tried to understand common ground and immediately rejected it. Should we do a bush draft? No. Am I allowed to, am I allowed to choose Guy in Gilly suit?

I would allow it. I would absolutely allow it. So what is a transformer for? It's a car? Is it just a robot in space? Is it a space bot? Also, why are they called transformers if they don't transform? Well, they transform into whatever they want, didn't they?

They're not like the Wonder Twins. It's not like Optimus Prime is like, today I think I'm going to be a beach cruiser. and then tomorrow maybe I'll be a motorcycle. He is what he is. Well, Megatron sometimes like a big ship thing and sometimes it's just a gun. It's not even a car.

Yeah, because they're trying to sell more fucking Megatron toys. They really limited themselves with the gun in the 80s when suddenly it wasn't cool to have all your robots turn into guns anymore when kids started pointing him in a cops and getting blown away throughout the early 90s. They rethought that one. I think your point is that it's disguising as a car, right? That's your point?

Yeah, it's a creature or a robot or whatever dressed as a car that can disguise itself by a car by becoming an actual working car. Yeah. So if we did a sentient car draft, you wouldn't let me pick Bumblebee. Throw a challenge flag? I think it would be allowed eventually, but we would have this argument about it. Interesting. Crazy.

I would never even consider that as a disputable thing. Next, you're going to tell me that there's a movie where Optimus Prime plays Optimus Prime. that'll be a real fight. Jackie Chan is Jackie Chan. Oh. Love that Gavin didn't put that together. Oh, man. Eric brought up roadside research briefly.

We had a day yesterday where we played two games. I've been dying to play for a while. We played RV there yet, which I think we had a really, I don't know if you played it yet, Andrew, but I think we had a really good time and we all enjoyed it. And we're like, wow, this is so much fun. We played for over an hour. The time just melted away.

And we were like, oh, that's great. We're going to play the shit out of this. And then we loaded up roadside research. And now I don't know that I'll ever want to play another multiplayer game again. Incredible. Instead of doing the other shoots that we were going to do today, can you guys come to the office and we just play Roadside Research all day? I was hoping.

We don't fuck the bit barrel, man. Let's do episode three of Roadside Research. Jeff, Jeff, I went to bed last night thinking about roadside research and woke up So excited that I could try to convince everyone to play roadside research again today. All I did, we played for three hours yesterday. What? The only reason we stopped playing it. Yeah, two hour and a half let's plays.

The only reason we stopped is because Nick's, Nick is hosting the game and his Xbox crashed. And now it like broke the spell. And then so we all ran out the door. So what's the loop? Tell me, because I know the premise is your aliens pretending to run a gas station trying to keep your cover. But like, what is the gameplay loop of that game? Dude, first off, let me just say, you're not pretending to run a gas station. Oh, you're running.

We have jobs and tasks in stations. It's incredible. I think Eric took more interest in producing the gas station than the actual show we were making. That is 100% true. That's 100% true. Andrew, I don't even know what they do. I know they're busy because I hear them talking, but I have two jobs. I stand in front of the cash register and I ring people up.

From the second we open at 7.30 in the morning to the second we stop at 10 p.m., I have a steady line of customers, and I am just making change and charging credit cards. And my second job is if there's a person that comes in that has a camera icon above their head, I just yell, picture inside, and then something happens. I don't even know, because my job is just ringing up customers, and I am busy all goddamn day. That's so good. The whole loop is trying to keep this convenience store gas station going by like stocking shelves and giving gas and all this stuff. But then when they, when the humans throw like trash on the ground, you're supposed to pick it up and you put it in your alien trash can so you can do research on humans.

That's all you're trying to do. And then you upgrade the stuff in the convenience store. But you have to avoid suspicion because these men and black agents come and sabotage your whole store and kill you. It's crazy. It's so Gavin ran the gas pump and was killing. Yeah. I got so confident.

I asked Derek to install a second pump and now I'm busy console. Yeah, dude, he is killing it. It's so fun. He's pumping 87. He's pumping 89. He's got 93 and diesel. Is there, is it, can it be five players?

No, it's a four player game. But it's also an early access, which is interesting. I'm so curious. Roadside research. Make it a five player game. There's a mode where like, the alien ship wants you to take photos of people every day.

and so Eric has been our photographer, and you have to do it on the download so they don't see you. Because if you give Nick the fucking camera, everybody dies instantly. It was so immediate. It was so immediate. If we had to vote for a weak link among the crew

who said is. Let me just tell you this. It could have been you after you put half of our gas tanks on the roof that we can't get down, but you redeemed yourself on the bumps. Andrew, I saw that people were getting mad. The customers were leaving dissatisfied

because there was shit constantly all over the floor. So I just started picking it up and throwing it over the gas station. I did it with some of our important stuff and I realized that it wasn't necessarily landing behind the gas station next to the dumpster. It was all landing on the roof. Now, did you fill up any robots from space pretending to be cars or was it just like all cars?

He wouldn't, no, here's the thing. He wouldn't know. They're so in line with regular cars. It might be tough to make that challenge then. Is there any narrative to this game? Like, is there like a campaign that you're going through? Or is it just like get money, do research? What a successful business.

Okay. You just get gathering up great. Gather more research and upgrade. Yeah. Cool. Yeah. There's a little icon thing that kind of like pops up and it's telling you what to do and then sort of a little HUD piece that's like,

hey, why are you spending so much time on decoration so you can now have a pug get your cash register. And then it goes, but I kind of like him, so it's okay. And there's a green cat, and you can have an American flag, and you can sell cereal. We, without being, having any control over it, we just jizz on the ground a couple times a day, every day. And if the humans see it, it freaks them out, and then they know that there's aliens. So Nick is like our little, Nick runs around with the mop and broom and just cleans up all of our spooge all day

It's kind of like the Baudaurean, actually, thinking about it. He's kind of like the Bala Daurian. And that's kind of who it's based on. That's awesome. If he uses a special gun to excrete the juice, it turns into energy drinks. And then if you drink him, you go super fast. And if you drink enough, you explode and die. Well, we should try not to describe every single thing that happened.

We might need to bump this edit forwards a little bit. Yeah. I'm excited, though. I can't wait to watch these. I will say, and then, and then, and then. I would really love to see, and I don't know if it's a video or not, maybe it would be best done in a video because it's a PC-only game. I think, Jeff, you should check out a game called Barry, Barry, Barry.

I think you would really... Barry, Barry, Barry, B-E-R-R-Y, B-E-R-R-Y. It is incredibly addicting and it is a nothing game that has layers to it of intrigue. Put some intrigue in there, Valley of Interest, layers of intrigue. What is it on? It's a Steam only game, but it's a game

where you put fruit in a hole, and that's the whole game. Why are there so many hole games out of the moment? This was, I played this, and then I played a game about digging a hole

because I was in a real whole mood at that point, and it made a game about digging a hole look like shit. I think that's why I disliked it so much because Barry,

Barry, Barry is so fucking good. You have to put fruit in a hole, and the more fruit you put in the hole, the hole gets bigger, and then you get up, oh, it's so cool. But there's more. Like, there is, you eventually can unlock a sledgehammer and it becomes like, what's going on here?

It's kind of creepy. I think you would love it, Jeff. Would it be a good video? I think it could be like a fun, like, let's watch type of thing where you guys kind of maybe have almost like a podcast conversation behind it. But it is, I bought it and I played it for like seven hours straight the first night. I could not put it down. And all it is is putting fruit in holes to get money to get upgrades, essentially.

All right. I'll play it today. I like this idea of like, oh, this is kind of like a one-off game. Maybe we'd give it a try. We did do something recently called Andrew's Baby Games, which I think is on the schedule for very soon. Yeah, Andrew's baby games will be out soon, I think. So keep an eye out for that because that was a real, like Andrew has a litany of games. What I don't know that everyone knows is that myself, Gavin and Jeff, did Jeff?

baby games. I didn't even know there wasn't Andrew's baby games. I got tricked by Gavin. What? Nice job, Gavin. We, Jeff was looking at games on Xbox

to see if there's anything we would play and this is before the break show, I think. And right as he was like, oh, we'll download this one, this looks funny, whatever. Gavin sat down and just opened Audacity and then yelled recording

and it got Jeff so upset that he's like, fine, fine. And then started recording and we recorded like a video with two different games in it that was just great, just so good. Yeah, I learned that if you just start recording and just say that you're recording, and Jeff knows he doesn't have time to make the video. He'll give you a funny look and just start recording. It's amazing.

He got so upset. It's a very particular problem. I can't, I can't not make content if there's content being made. I don't have the, I don't have the mechanism for the off ramp there. the second he hit record, I was powerful. I was fucked. Those games were dog shit too. They were. I watched.

I couldn't hear you guys, but I watched you play from just the gameplay perspective. I am excited to see the audio portion. I had, so we did Andrew's baby games and, uh, I got a song stuck in my head of, uh, I was singing Archie's, the theme for Archie's weird mysteries. but making it Andrew's weird baby games. And, uh, I wrote, I wrote a whole theme song that evening because I couldn't sleep. What? I, I, can we put it in the video? Uh, well, I don't, we don't have, I'm gonna, well, there needs to be production for it.

Because in my head, it is just everything from Archie's weird mysteries, but with modified lyrics. I'm going to post them right now. I wrote that the night. I modified it the night that, uh, we recorded the video. What's that sound? Andrew's Weird Baby Games. What is going on in Goof Town? Andrew's Weird Baby Games.

And then it goes on. Who's going to play the games? That long back with a stash face. That will, I mean, the original lyric is like, uh, something about a freckled face. I, uh, you keep, you keep saying, yeah, I did it like that song from Archie's Weird. mysteries and I'm just like, maybe everyone else knows what that is. When no one else was piping up. No clue.

No one has any idea what it is. Is this what, Jeff, is this what you thought it might be? No, I'd never even cross my mind that it might be related to Riverdale. I thought it was something that you guys all knew about that was a part of baby games. They came up in the video. No, no, never seen this. Don't know what it is. It's Archie and the gang solving mysteries with a dog like Scooby-Doo.

Yeah, it's like, it's like. It's a cross between like goosebumps and Scooby-Doo with some of the Riverdale cast in Riverdale. That's all of the Riverdale cast. It's all of them. But play the theme for a second. Just listen to the theme for one moment. Maybe I don't know how to do that. I will share my screen.

Are you going to sing over the top of it with your lyrics? No, I can't. I just want you to experience it. I want you to get the feel for it. Because you know how Eric does that robot voice sometimes? I was thinking like his robot voice could be the weird baby. games part because that's how it goes. Great.

Cool. I can't believe you guys don't know about these weird mysteries. You just keep saying it. I don't know. All right. Here, it's live. Can you guys see it? Yeah.

Okay. So imagine this, but baby games. This is not how I... I just want to pause it for a second. This is not what I thought it was going to fucking sound like at all. I love this. What?

Andrews see your baby games. When you presented it to us just now, Andrew, and you were like, it's, it's sung to the tune of Archie's mystery hour or whatever. Yeah. What was the percentage in your head of you thought that we would know what that was? Any of us? Oh, Jeff. A hundred percent. There was zero consideration that any of you wouldn't know what Archie's weird mysteries is.

Didn't even cross my mind that you wouldn't know what it was. Sounds like we need to put it on the wheel. Maybe we watch a season of it. I think 43 episodes they're on YouTube. If we could only ever get past season two so that we can move on to another season. One goddamn episode left to watch.

It's a, it's a tall order, man. It's a tough ass. I do want to point out as well that this series, we haven't really explained it. It's nothing to do with babies. It's just dog shit. No. No, it's just garbage games.

I constantly am looking at the Xbox store and if I find something weird, I'll either like wish list it or I'll buy it because a lot of the weird games I like are like $4. Yeah. And this was a compilation of like three of those games that I'd just been sitting on. Sometimes they're free.

I actually got mad after we recorded it realizing that I paid for one of the games in that video. What was it free? Well, some games like they're like weird because there is a time period where Xbox had like a essentially like, user submitted game category and those were often free and one of them was that we played it was a guess the movie title based on the emojis game that felt like one of those but actually

it was something that I paid for it was in the store with like an actual price also it's a gamer like you want to guess based on the emojis but it's a lot easier to just look at what letters are presented and solving it I failed I like paid zero 10 into the emojis. Yeah, it was dog shit. Yeah, that game sucked. I'm frustrated because now Andrew's Weird Baby Game song is stuck in my... It was in my head the whole day!

Andrew's weird baby games! It's a great song. It's just bouncing around in there. I can't stop thinking about Andrew's Weird Baby. What is going on in Goof Town? Andrew's Weird Baby Games. It's a great song. Have you had a chance to review

the new tub yet? Oh, terrible tub situation. Oh, really? Oh, no. Oh, yeah. Awful. Negative,

negative tub. Like so bad, you're not going to use it? Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. Showers only. You're just going to become a shower guy now?

I'm just a shower guy now. Yeah. Is it too small? What's wrong with it? It's just, it's small and it has just not a great shape. It's mainly just the size of it

is tiny, it's a tiny, it's like an ankle high. It is not high enough. Oh, like a, yeah. I want to really like kind of soak in the juices a little bit and there's not enough juice space. The lack of juic, I'd say. Are you saying that when you get in it, there's no room for any water? Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

But you're calling it the juice? Well, yeah, like, you know, laying in the juice. The nectar of comfort. You said, you know, and then said a thing that I would never know, ever. It wouldn't surprise me if you were not using water in the tub all this time and we're using some sort of special compound. There were some kind of juice. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Special compound?

Yeah. So you're in a situation of new tub, and I assume new pillows and new chair. And I want to know if it's just thrown your life completely. Yeah, new pillows, new chair. Oh, it's thrown me completely. Yeah, I don't have a pillow mountain at the moment. Do you just not feel like yourself? I feel like I haven't slept right yet.

And I'm getting there. But it has been an adjustment for sure. I only have three pillows. Can we ship you pillows? No, I'm okay. I'll make it through. I'll survive these tough times. But a pillow situation is weird.

When Westcham first took flight in 1996, the vibes were a bit different. People thought denim on denim was peak fashion, inline skates were everywhere, and two out of three women rocked, the Rachel. While those things stayed in the 90s, one thing that hasn't is that fuzzy feeling you get when WestJet welcomes you on board.

Here's to WestJetting since 96. Travel back in time with us and actually travel with us at westjet.com slash 30 years. I've been on a real microwavable mac and cheese kick. I'm like making a list and evaluating what's out there.

What's my favorite? Are you going to share the list when you've reached a conclusion? Yeah, maybe. I only have two, so I don't feel like it's a lot of a list worth sharing. But I will say the Gordon Ramsey mac and cheese,

not bad. Kind of disappointing if you want a crunch. The other one was Crave. It was Craves, bacon and mac and cheese. Terrible. Do you often want to crunch? Gavin, Gavin, you beat me to it.

Is mac and cheese a food you want to be crunchy? Isn't that just like burn? No, because you can do breadcrumbs on a mac and cheese to add a little bit of crunch. A microwavable mac and cheese with breadcrumbs. So that is what the Gorn Ramsey one is and the crunch doesn't convert at all in the microwave process, but it does add a little bit of a texture difference, which is nice. It's just a better cheese sauce. Do you get to add the crunch after the breadcrumbs?

No, they're just mixed in. It's just throw in already. Yeah, that's terrible. Yeah. It was especially bad because the one I opened. and the plastic had partly ripped open, and part of the breadcrumb was in the bottom of the box upon opening my little bowl,

my little mac and cheese bowl. Shouldn't probably eat the ones that are already open. Well, it was frozen. It's frozen. Oh, okay. It was just like it got knocked around on the inside, and part of the plastic lifted. It was sealed, but it was just like some of the crummage fell out.

Are you willing to eat anything, if it was frozen? If a corporation is selling it and it's in a sealed cardboard box, yes. What if you were in the Arctic walking a frozen lake and you just saw a ready meal

like just beneath the ice? Now is it a ready meal or is it a robot from space pretending to be a ready meal? Only one way to find out. Yeah, I got to eat it. I got Optimus Prime in me. Do you think it would taste the same either way?

That's interesting. if Optimus Prime was a chicken nugget, would it taste like a chicken nugget? I don't think so. Gavin says no. Will you be eating a chicken nugget with a brain for a start? Chicken has a brain. Can you nugget a brain?

Can you nugget a brain? Yeah, probably. Yeah, sure. Why not? We did it, dude. We had those fried pig brains way back in the day. You don't remember that? No.

When was that? We got it, if it was for the I zombie show, and we were doing a whole thing with it and we ate pig brains. Yeah. It's disgusting. That rang a bell. I get some of my chicken enjoyment

from Werner Herzog talking about how stupid they are. Your chicken enjoyment? Yeah, like I feel negative guilt because of the Werner Herzog quote about chickens. Shouldn't you be more sympathetic to something so dumb?

No. Absolutely not. It's like soulless dumb is the way he described it. I don't think a human could judge how much of a soul a chicken has. Look into the eyes of a chicken and you will see real stupidity. It is a kind of bottomless stupidity, a fiendish stupidity. They are the most horrifying, cannibalistic and nightmarish creatures in the world.

Hey, you know what? He's not wrong. Gives me comfort. I think about that whenever I eat a chicken and fly, oh, this is fine. And he said that after he made Grizzly Man. So that really, uh, it's something to think about. So does that make you more likely to be able to kill a chicken than anything else? Do you think you could do it?

Yeah, I think I could kill a chicken. I think partially I've been trained by fable. Do a lot of kicking of chickens in that game. I don't think you're supposed to kick them to kill her. That's how you think you kill a chicken? No, but like my point is, is that like I've attacked the chicken virtually so many times that I feel like, well, let's maybe not get into what you've attacked virtually and what you've attacked virtually in what you could do in the real world.

I think maybe that's not a one-to-one. No, I'm saying, but because of the stupidity, because of the Werner Herzog, like I, the soulless animal. And you've seen it done enough times on Survivor, too, that you could probably figure it out. That's true. Yeah.

I just, I know that when my grandma told me when she was a kid, that was a thing that they, she like grew up on a farm with like 13 brothers and sisters, and that's what they would do. It would be like, all right, pick a chicken. This is the one we're going to eat tonight. And they would kill it. And she's like, oh, I've killed like,

I've killed so many chickens. If my grandma can do it, I can probably do it. I don't want to. No, I don't want to either. I swear half of Roussathe had a grandparent that used to kill chickens by hand. I don't know that I do anyone in England who did that. I come from what? I just come from like rural river trash farm Appalachian people.

I just, that's, I feel confident about my ability to kill the chicken. It's the plucking of the chicken that I really don't have confidence in. Oh, that has to be Gavin's job. You killed the chicken. Gavin has to clean it. Gavin, do you think he could be a plucker? I mean, give me gloves and I'll pluck. Okay, perfect.

Oh, wow, that's awesome. To me, that's not the horrible bit. See, to me, that is the horrible bit. We're a perfect duo. To me, the having the life leave the meat in my hands, that's the horrible bit. See, to me, it feels way more offensive to them strip it after doing that. Yeah, to me, it's the handling the dead body.

The disrobing. Yeah, the handling the dead body afterward is the hard part. I think I could pick up a chicken by the neck and swing it around once or twice. It's alive before you do that, though. It certainly is, but we're living on our convenience store, our convenience store has gone out of business and we're in the middle of the woods and we've got to eat something, man. We got to eat this chicken and you're cleaning it. I'm pretty sure I could process an entire cow if it's already dead.

But if you said here, take the Anton Shaguer thing and do it to the cow. I couldn't do it. Yeah, see, I don't want to kill a cow. No, I couldn't do that. The cow doesn't have bottomless stupid. Warner, yeah, Wernerner's like, didn't say anything about cows. Yeah. They're the same to me.

I agree. What? What? A cow and a chicken is the same? Yeah. Have you ever ridden a chicken? No, I agree. Gavin.

Yeah, Nick wants to know if you've ever ridden a chicken after you've ridden a cow so many times. They're both alive animals that we have, we choose to eat constantly. I don't know what the difference would be. I don't know. I've spent time around chickens and they are dumb. They're small. You wouldn't kill a mouse. I owned chickens and they were awesome.

They were great pets. You wouldn't kill a mouse? Would you kill a mouse with your hands? With your hands? What are you going to do? Riggin's little neck? He's killing a chicken with this head, swing it over his head off. You're going to a cow with your hands?

Something about killing a mouse with your hands is something I think I've never thought about before. I think it's horrible. I couldn't do it. It's like that rat shaker game we played. It is. It's like rat shaker. It's so weird that you're you don't want to kill a bigger thing. You can't imagine killing a tiny thing, but a chicken of mid-size, you're like, yeah, I'll do it.

The chicken is such a-killable. It's so, it's just so, like, that's its true purpose. Would you- Would you do a pigeon? I'm not excited about it, but like, yeah, like, I'm not thrilled about it, but, you know, whatever. It's definitely like, if we're doing a pyramid of killable things, it's chicken is number one. The pyramid of killable things is incredible. I want to build up. So is it at the top or is it at the bottom?

The thing about killing the chicken over the mouse or the pigeon is you're not going to eat the other two. At least there's some sort of a purpose to the chicken. That is part of the thing. That's, I mean, I'm not killing chickens for fun. It's just that like if for like the thing to eat, chicken probably number one. And it feels almost like if I'm unwilling to, I'm a bit of a hypocrite because I've eaten so much chicken. Like I've eaten more chicken than anything else in my life by a large version. But no eggs.

But no eggs. I don't, you know. I think if I was going to kill a bloodied thing, I couldn't go further than a fish. I would struggle more with a fish than a chicken. Well, a fish to me, when it's dead, looks like it does when it's alive. They look to see.

You can tell what a mouse or a chicken or a cow has died. They look different. Yeah. It's hard to argue that point. A terrible conversation we've been having. It's awful, isn't it? Oh, Christ. Yeah.

And by way, I mean, mostly you guys. I'm doing my best not to participate. Are you, yeah, but, and yet you've, you've participated, Jeff. You've let us know where you stand. I couldn't necessarily identify the moment. The soul left the fish. Could I give you homework, Gavin? And it's optional.

You don't have to do this. But I would love, he's going to have to kill something. He's going to have to kill something. No, no, I want to give you some homework. I just want to hear maybe next steps to record a, a brief review by you. I'll have to look up what the movie is. I watched a documentary,

like a short documentary about a guy that has worked in a slaughterhouse killing cows for like the past 30 years. And all he does is kill cows all day. And it's about his life and sort of how that has shaped his perspective of what death means.

And it is a grisely. This is so dour. It is very dour. I think it was like I used to try to watch like all the Oscar nominated stuff and I'm pretty sure it was an Oscar nominated short documentary. I want your review on that. He's killed like hundreds of thousands of cows. Jesus Christ, dude. That's, I, I, what is it?

Is it Bernard Matthews who kills like, that's the, the company who started the turkey company in the UK. they just like provide all the turkey meat. But I think they killed like seven million turkeys a year or something. Oh my God. Oh my Lord. That's a lot. Is it one guy doing it? No, I don't think Byrd himself is doing it anymore.

I think he was partially responsible with like bringing turkey meat to England. Oh, really? Is it one guy? Oh, they're a busy day. I'm just trying to find, I'm trying to. find this movie. More pleasant to talk about. Oh, no, the movie. Yeah. And it's just I'm getting like... Oh, oh, I got it. Here. Hey,

Hey, Jeff. Yeah. Uh, is it weird that you're one-fifth of the age of the United States? Oh shit. Am I really? Well, it's, we're only turning 250. That's crazy. You've been around for 20% of the country's history. That's crazy. I guess that makes me look pretty impressive to everybody else. I've seen a lot of things in 50 years. I don't remember any of them. Gavin, what, Gavin, what percent are you of England? Less than one.

Just goes to remind you that America is a new little piece of shit out there. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We haven't been stinking up the earth for that long. I was just thinking, I was just thinking about 250 and 50 and just sort of just thinking about that. Hey, we talked about something that we said we were going to get to in this episode.

it hasn't come up yet, so I'm going to crowbar it in. There was discussion of recording next week's podcast off a time wheel. Ooh. Yeah. Was it next week's podcast? That is not how I remember that conversation. I think it was the next podcast we record doing a time wheel on it, which would be this podcast as the next one we recorded.

So would we just put 24 segments on a wheel? I don't think we should do 24. I'm not opposed. I think we should do like, everybody gets a time to nominate. Maybe everybody gets two times to nominate and we do like 10 plus a second wheel or something. I just want to do a read of the room really quickly

because I'm not opposed, but am I the only one that didn't interpret this as being the next episode that this is just an idea at some point? Jeff is really reaching for this, but I'm going to say, I'm going to allow it. Yeah, that's how I feel. I just want to make sure that I wasn't wrong in this reading. Yeah, no, I apologize. I'm just trying to make content.

It certainly wasn't, but it now certainly is the next episode. I agree with that. Sure. It was just like, next time we record a podcast, we should spend a time wheel and pick an episode. So I just assumed that this being the next time we recorded a podcast, we would do it. Yep. Andrew has dropped in The Reaper.

That's the documentary name. That's what it was. And check it out, boys. The Reaper. And do they show the stuff dying? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, I don't know if I want to watch it.

You don't have to. That's why I said totally optional. I just would be fascinated to hear you. I'll listen to it. You can listen to it. I think it's subtitled, but you can listen to it. If you don't want to watch it, maybe just write up. like a 200-word essay.

Instead. I can put those 200 words to my 20,000 things. Do you know that I've lived in America for 5.6% of its existence? Wow, that's pretty impressive. That's pretty cool. You know what's more impressive? What's that?

The screen that I'm sharing right now, which is the time wheel. And guys, we're going to nominate two times each and we're going to figure out what time we're recording next week's episode. I have started recording, one, two, three, one, two, three. I don't we agree that we're just submitting times instead of doing the clock?

Yeah, and what times are we submitting? I'm going to submit 8 a.m. Okay, that's one for Eric. 7 a.m. Nick has said 7 a.m. 7 a.m. for Nick. Okay. I'm going to say 10 a.m.

10 a.m. for Jeff? These are all central time, by the way. I'm going to say 11 p.m. 11 p.m. Oh, you motherfucker. Gavin? Hey, you're giving me 7. I mean, this is a vanilla, pretty vanilla wheel here.

I'm going to have to say, I'm going to have to say 5 a.m. 5 a.m. Because that is inconvenient, Pacific and Central. Okay. I will submit my next time. Midnight. Okay. Now, which midnight is that?

Central. No, no, I'm saying, like, is that midnight like... Is there a time change? this happened? Like going, like going right into that Thursday? Yeah. So Andrew would actually be recording on a Wednesday. Yes. Yes, I believe that's correct. That would be the earliest time on Thursday we could record would be midnight. Okay. So that's my second nomination. Nick? Noon. Uh, Nick says noon. I'm going to say, copycat. That's fine. 2 p.m.

2 p.m. Gavin, you want to throw your last one out there? Um, if we, we don't have three yet, do we? Three. I'm going to say three, which is our original old school recording time. You were saying 3 p.m. Yeah. 3 p.m. Original time. Nice.

Jeff. I'm going to say, I'm going to say 7.18 p.m. 7.18 p.m. And boys, that's it. But we have to go to second wheel. Go to second wheel. Oh, we even put a 501.

That's crazy. We did. That is a big mistake. How many times are we, can I change my 5 a.m. to 501 a.m. You can change that, sure. That's good.

I'll allow that one and only change. Yeah. How many times we shuffling? 24. 24. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 17, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 19, 21, 2, 2, 23, 23. 24, boys, this is it. This will be the time that we record episode 99.

Some pretty good times on there. Of the regulation podcast. Here we go. Great. Spin the wheel. Next week, we will be. Recording at. Look like it was going to be second wheel for a second.

Oh, no. No. It will be at, hang on. Oh, 7 a.m. 7 a.m. will be our recording time. Now, if I was going to rank, if I was going to rank the times that I would like the least, that would be number one.

Yeah. There you go. 7 a.m. will be our recording time. You would have preferred 3 a.m. to 5 p.m.? 100%. It was so close to 501 a.m. That 7 a.m. felt like a gift when we got it. I'm so mad about 7 a.m.

Let me just make this challenger calendar change real quick. 7 a.m. I'm going to remember that, Nick. Nick, I remember that 7 a.m. Did I pick that? Yes. Episode 98. 99.

Did I do 8? 7. Wait, wait. Episode 99 is on the calendar. You were no to your own pick? 7.A. M. Yep.

Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. That's when we get the kid ready for school. Oh, that's awesome. You can record while Amanda gets the kid ready for school. That'll be fun. You hear him in the background going, I don't want to go to school again. I've adjusted the calendar for next week to reflect our new recording time.

Just sing Archie's going to school to the theme tune of Archie's weird mysteries. Archie is going to school. No, it's too many syllables. Oh, shit. Well, we should probably wrap this up. We should wrap this up and get ready for next week. Nah. What?

What? Gavin said no. Hey, I saw something cool that the community did the other day. Can I tell you about it? Yes. There is a group of people I saw on Reddit that play hell divers a lot. And so they created the 98th, I guess, like, regulation regiment as their hell divers group. And they got patches made to reflect that. and they wear the patches on their patch hats

and their patch shirts. Like they got them made to fit the size of our patches. Oh. Isn't that cool? The first community patch? Yeah, they have patches for community clubs.

I thought that was so neat. Do you have a picture? No, not on me. But it was on Reddit. I'll find it in a second year. I wasn't that prepared. I've realized that I don't sure if you've mentioned it,

but Eric and Nick are both at the office. The rest of us are at home. Yep. But I feel like Nick's, wasted a week. Eric, is Nick wearing the mask? He is not. Cool, thanks.

No problem. I wasted a week? Well, I mean. Yeah, remember you're supposed to, like, one time during an episode, you wear the mask and we guess at it? Yeah, you're never going to see it coming. We saw it coming home.

One time. We're one for two. You're a different person when you wear it. You're a different, but here's the thing I'm concerned about. You're becoming more that person week to week than you were ever before. And now it's like the mask, it's like, you know, Jim Carrey, like, where's the mask?

And it's like, oh, who's, you know, that's really what's happening with you. And it's, I think it's making you sick. Can we build a nick mask that fits over the monkey mask? Oh, we can try? So we can re-knick him when he's monkey? No, just so that he can pull off his neck mask and reveal that he is truly monkey. Oh, wow. Wow.

Wow. Holy shit. He was monkey the whole time. Well, that'll do it for the regulation podcast. Thanks for listening. Episode 98, episode 99 coming to you bright and early next week. What's happening for episode 100? Nothing, but 99.

We're really going out and about, guys. So check it out. Check out Patreon.com slash the regulation pod. Check out the gameplay videos. Check out the other episodes of the podcast. Let a friend know that we have that. And Mario Party March in April, all April long every day. in Mario Party March in April.

I can't wait over at patreon.com slash the regulation pod. You just got to be a free member. I think for episode 100, the four of you should all get tattoos. Oh yeah, I mean, that's, I mean, I'm not going to fucking do that. Sure.

Can it be my choice? Why did I ask that? I don't know. Do you think my tattoos weren't my choice when I got them for 100? Oh my God. You didn't pick them? Your wife might have.

Huh? Yeah. All right, that's okay. We cut like five minutes. ago anymore.
