My name is Jeff Ramsey with me as always, Andrew Patton, Gavin Free, Nick Schwartz, Eric Padour. Eric just went through the list of things we talked about last episode in 96. And now I am officially fucking lost because we are recording ahead. So I just listened to episode 95. Nothing he said made sense to me or was familiar in any way. I was going to say the same. It sounded like the, it sounded like being told someone's dream. You couldn't convince me that I was there for that. It's your show. This is what you guys

Do you do this. You do this. Well. All right, guys, Gavin's back firing on all cylinders. As a, how's it filled back? It filled to be back, Gavin. I made the mistake of listening to the, uh, I was proofing the character draft, and I'm riled up by it.

Oh, really? What has got you upset? I'm just like, I'm just, my back's in the corner. I'm swinging at everyone. Talking about Jackie Chan. talk about it in this episode because it's already out by the time this comes out. So, uh, yeah, go ahead. Can I stick the, uh, the bit where I proved everyone wrong? Can we stick it at the end of that? No. Just that tiny four second clip of the movie? No, it didn't happen

in the moment. No. No. Yeah, it seems legal, it seems legally precarious. No. Yeah. Let's let's talk. Gavin is arguing to edit in a thing that makes him more right that he found later. Not into the middle. Just shove it at the end. Because you spent the whole episode saying, yeah. You've spent the whole episode saying, well, if you got proof, we'll allow it. Yeah, well, you didn't. The whole point in that conversation was you didn't. The proof was made in 1998. The proof was already there.

You didn't provide it. Yeah, it's supposed to be in the pudding. I didn't get any pudding. Hmm. If you do a food review and they forget to put Parmesan on top of your thing, they can't show one with Parmesan at the end of the review. It doesn't do anything. You had a three-episode arc about the value of interest.

Yeah, at no point did you draw a value of interest. Valley. I would argue I kept trying about it. Oh, I saw somebody point out that Andrew thinks that peak and peak might be the same word. I saw that as well. Yeah. And that really, that got me. That really made me, uh, that flip that, that really flipped my brain, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, man. It was bad. Like P-I-Q-U-E-E-A-K. Oh, like of interest and yeah. Oh, right, right, which makes yeah. Gavin, you just put it together also. Holy shit.

This is how we got here. This is what happened? No. Those are two different things. And you're very aware of both, right? Yeah, very aware of both. Okay, Andrew, if I, if I tasked you with drawing the uncanny valley, would you be able to do it?

Yeah, well, no. because I wouldn't be able to draw accurately enough. I don't think I could trigger... It's just a line. Oh, okay, sure. You think next time you have an argument about a Jackie Chan movie, you can have the clip that proves you right next time. Okay, Andrew, Andrew.

In the moment... I'm there at the office, right? I'm there at the office, right? I'm surrounded by people. I'm fighting. How am I supposed to come up with a three-second clip from the middle of a 90s Jackie Chan movie in that moment? It's your pick.

pick. It's your pick. I mean, I guess I'd show up to work prepared to defend myself if I, yeah, you know. Especially for this show, it feels like you should be pretty ready to defend yourself, especially for an insane pick like that. That's a great pick. It turned out to me. I agree.

It did. It did. We have recorded so much goddamn supplemental content lately. I can't keep track of it all. I forgot. We went to the mall last week for Christ's sake. Oh, yeah, I saw the, I saw that that draft, the draft that Gavin's proving, or proving, proofing is coming out.

And I didn't remember, I forgot that we recorded it. It was so many supplemental recording sessions ago, it feels like. Yeah. We've been cranking them out. Well, that's good because we had none for a while. This is just we're getting on the other side of the valley of supplemental. Can I talk about, I've scared myself in a, in a, exactly.

I was in the tub, so I think my guard was lowered, just generally speaking. Yeah, I was very comfortable. I'm looking. It's the, at the time of recording this, it's NHL trade deadline week, so I'm locked in. I'm looking at all things. It's, I'm constantly listening to whatever's happening. I'm in the tub. Big fart out of nowhere.

It was fine. Kept reading, kept reading the hockey news. I'm scrolling on TikTok, maybe like seven minutes pass. I adjust my body, Fart bubble shoots up behind me. Was just there the whole time. You trapped it? I trapped it, had no idea.

It was like when you see those videos of people stabbing a hole in ice and then lighting the methane that's trapped under it. It was like seven minutes had passed and I had completely forgotten about it. I shifted and then it popped up behind me and it was so sudden and I was so confused for a moment

I had to trace back the fart. Like enough time had come. It was crazy. Did it stink? No. Not at all. Are you sure it was the fart then? It had to have been.

There's no other thing it could have been. So were you not suspicious of farting earlier but not hearing it or not seeing it? I was looking at my phone. I'm not paying attention. I'm not looking. I just don't know how you create such a perfect seal. I was like laying against the back of the tub and maybe we were. just the angle? I don't know.

It's never happened before. Because I feel like if I do if I do a tub guff, it's probably coming out in front of me. I don't know how it's going to venture behind me. Yeah, I don't I think maybe half of it did. I don't know. But it was crazy.

I think I'm quite anus forward and I think you're a little bit anus backwards. I may have been in this moment. It also could have crawled up his back and it could have taken seven minutes to get up that long back to escape. That's true. Maybe the long back is really what stabilized it, but it was just such a weird feeling to have, like, I spooked myself.

And it was just so, I didn't even like it, the idea that it was just there under the water just waiting. It was a real thank me later situation. It was. Yeah. I wish I had a record on it. I wonder what percentage of Andrews stories begin with, so I was in the tub. Yeah. Let me look at my notes.

If I have any other. Tub stories. I don't think I do. Is the tub the only place you let your guard down? Is the tub the only place? No. I'll let my guard down in bed. I'll get all cozy. Shut down. Throw some pillows on top of me. But you're pretty high guard

the most of the time? Yeah, I think I'm a high guard 90% of the time. Rest and peace. Rest and peace. How about you, Gavin? When do you rest? When do you let yourself relax. How often would you say your high guard is up? I think guard is up for content.

But as soon as we press stop and I'm exporting a file, I'm just like, ah. Oh, really? I'm like Andrew. I don't let my guard down until I'm in bed. What if you're just sitting on the couch? Too much life can happen. Shit's going on all the time. You got to be ready.

I don't even take my shoes off until it's time to go to bed. You just never know. What? I don't know. I got to be prepared at all times. Are you sitting on the couch? I don't put jammies on or anything. Like, I'll sit on the couch and full clothes and stuff until it's time to go to bed.

And then I'll take all my clothes off and go to bed. I'm ready to leave the house. I'm ready to leave the house at the drop of a hat until one minute before bedtime. That's impressive. Can we test this somehow? If you want to. It'll be a test I pass every time. What if I just am allowed to text you the word drive?

and you have to be driving within the next eight seconds. As long as I don't respond with bed, then I can do it. Because if I'm already in bed, my guard's down. Interesting. That is, yeah, I respect it. You guys don't leave your guard up?

Man, I don't know. No, I do. Clearly, you do. Yeah, I'm always on guard. I'm always paranoid of certain things. Anytime I hear a siren, I'm convinced it's coming for me. What have you done?

Nothing. Nothing. You got a body? No. This has been since I was probably like a kid. I was little. I hear a siren. I'm like, ooh.

I just think about how much it would suck. Did you hear a siren the day you were doing desk dogs? Uh, no, no, no. Thankfully. Oh, that would have been an all-time anxiety. I just, the alarm went off. Yeah, I feel like that would have freaked you out. Yeah.

Oh, worst case scenario. The second I hear a siren, I turn on the police scanner and try to to find out what it is. I don't assume it's me, though. When I was a teenager, uh, everybody went away. And I decided I was staying home.

So I had the house to myself for the whole day. And I was like, I'm gonna, I'm gonna really enjoy this. I'm gonna really, being the rowdy teenager I was. I was, I'm really gonna make the most of this opportunity.

So I grabbed like every candle in the house, essentially, brought it into the bathroom. Because I felt like when you, see like ultimate relaxation like bath things, there's candles. Lit all of the candles was having a nice relaxing bath.

The smoke triggered the smoke alarm in the bedroom. And that was, talk about guard down in the tub, absolute panic. But there's no smoke for a candle. I don't know. Well, what?

They're candy. Well, if you blow it out. This is all I know. I was in the tub. Maybe I got out of the tub. don't remember that part. The part was I brought like eight candles into the bathroom, lit them all. Shortly later, an alarm went off, and I didn't know if the smoke alarm would cause the fire department to come to the house. I was very nervous about it. And it became a nightmare. It's home alone. That is my home alone. I didn't have to deal robbers. I brought too many candles into the tub, caused the alarm to go

off, and then was just waiting for the fire department to show up because I didn't know. if it was like linked to the alarm system. I had no idea. I just imagine you immediately holding your wrists out, like ready to be cuffed. I was. I just was thinking this was supposed to be the ultimate relaxation. And now I'm just waiting for the fire department to show up.

Do you need an alarm license in Canada? No. What is an alarm license? You need them in America. Yeah, you need them here. I learned that the hard way. Yeah. What does that mean?

It means if you don't pay a license when you're, alarm goes off, like burglar alarm, you get a fine. What? Well, what do you do is you get a warning. Yeah, when you set up your alarm, you got to notify the city of Austin Police Department. It's like 30 bucks or something. You got to pay every year or every couple of years, and then you're good. But if the cops ever respond to your house and you don't have one, they'll give you a warning and then a ticket. I can't tell something fucked with. Do you learn that at school, though?

I learned it when I got a letter from the police department saying, I hadn't registered my alarm system. Yeah, I feel like they never tell you. Even the company is stalling the alarm, who you also pay a monthly fee to to link them to the police and all that. They don't tell you you need to pay for a separate license. Chuck, chuck that in then.

Chuck, put that in the price. Yeah, put that in the fee. It should be included in the price. It should be a part of they should do it for you. Yeah. They should submit the thing for you. I agree. And then, by the way, this is not a joke.

We're not, Gavin and I aren't dicking around. It's not like a tattooing in a three-piece suit or something. It's real. Where do you go to file it? Ah, the city of Austin website, I think. Yeah, I think it's just a, I think, is it a state, is it a city run thing? It might be a state run thing. Might be state.

I don't remember. I did it like as soon as we moved in. I'll be honest. Nick's being awfully quiet. It makes me worry that he maybe hasn't paid his alarm license. He is, he's looking it up right now. He's, well, he's finishing all of his eggs, so he's sitting quietly. And then he will apply for his permit.

Yeah. Had the eggiest throat doing the countdown, absolutely vile. Okay. It wasn't that bad. man, all this talk about police sirens and fire fire sirens reminded me of a fucked up story from my childhood. Do you guys want to hear it? Yes. Yeah.

When I was like 16, 17, I got my license to 16, right? And when, the way it used to work, not in this generation, but the second you got your driver's license, you get the fuck away from home as much as possible, right? And my dad used to have this old police scanner. It was like a physical device. I want to say it was called a bear cat, maybe. But anyway, it was this device that you would plug in,

and my friends and I would be watching basketball. or whatever, and we would have the police scanner going. And any time we heard something in the area that was like going on, we would hop into my car and we would drive there to try to see what's going on, you know, kind of like ambulance chase. And, you know, you're 16 in Alabama. You've got to make your own fun. So you follow the cops to tragedy.

And one time we did it and we pulled up at a neighborhood at a four-way intersection right as they were putting the sheet over a kid who got hip on a bike. Oh, my God. What the fuck? Yeah, I was like 17. I went in the army like three months later. We didn't do it anymore after that. That was the last time we did it. That was not even in your, but bunch of stories about all the dead bodies you see. I didn't think about it until, I mean, it really, Andrew jogged my memory somehow. I don't know when the last time I thought about that was. But yeah, that's why I didn't. Yeah, I got a, I got turned off to police scanners after that for a while, but I use them again now. I don't blame you.

Oh, shit. Wow. I guess I guess I was seeing more dead people than I realized. God. Damn. Do you have a fun police scanner story? Is there like a moment where it's like brought you back the other way or gave you joy? No. That's a real. So you're just, you're just checking out the police scanner and knowing that it's bad news.

Yeah. I guess the police scanner doesn't really have like a good news. No, like we showed up, we showed up and the cops were just giving everybody candy. It was awesome. Yeah. There's always like the top 10,

911 call. but I guess that doesn't go over the scanner. You would just have to hope that somebody would be like... The problem with the police scanner is that you hear the beginning and never the end of stuff. Ah. You hear like, we are responding to this. Here's the situation.

All right, here's what I see. And then from the second they engage, there's no like, here's what happened. Yeah, no resolution. It goes into a report, no resolution. So it's a lot of, yeah, a lot of edging and not a lot of finishing, as it were. Oh, you're police gooning.

Yeah. There you go. I don't. Ham radio, I feel like, is the way we've talked about it before. But I feel like those guys probably take things very seriously in a way that I would enjoy quite a bit. Having the call signs. When are we starting you on ham? Yeah, I got to figure that out.

I got to get, I'll look into that. I enjoy playing games that have, like, proximity chat just because it feels like a novelty now. Like I have no interest in engaging with people, but when I hear people talking in game chat and like a proximity sense, love it. Makes my head. I'm right there with you. I have zero. Sorry, go ahead. No, I didn't know.

I was just going to say I was playing arc graders the other night. And I decided to be a little stinker. And we took down a matriarch. And there was a guy, I didn't get anything from it. Like, I didn't care about my loot. And there's a guy off to the side by himself looting some. body and I gunned him down and as I was reloading and he was crawling just all of a sudden in local game chat this old it was such he had such an old voice and he just started going

help help me help and then I got him and then two people ran over and started shooting at me this I left and then I healed and then I popped back around just to see what was going on and they were still there and one of them yelled came back to get the goods and then it was a little fight and they got me and they're like that's what you get for being a rat and I was like oh this is awesome

I have no interest in being one of those people but I love I love all of you everybody involved in this top 10 out of 10 great one I was I was playing Ark with Trevor from Achievement Hunter the other day and it was his first game ever like I'd been talking about it and so he asked me to show him around

and he was so tickled with proximity chat that anytime he heard anybody, he would run straight for them and be like, what are you guys doing? Hey, it's my first game. Yeah, no, don't kill me. I'm friendly. I wouldn't even know how to fight back.

Honestly, I'm not even sure how the weapons work. Anyway, what are you guys working on? What are you guys going? Are you doing a quet? And I was just like, Trevor, leave him alone. Come on, they're going to fucking kill us. We've got to go over here. We're trying to extract.

We're trying to teach how to play. And he just, like, every time he heard proximity, he would, he just beeline for it. Nobody ever attacked him. I couldn't believe it. I would have killed him 18 times within the first 30 seconds. But yeah, he was like addicted to it. Yeah, it's great.

I would use it way more, but it doesn't transfer, like when you're in a party chat or whatever. You have to be in-game chat. Was it Marathon that said it had that? But I don't think we heard anyone in that game, do we? I didn't hear anybody. I don't remember if I did. I don't think so.

I don't think we were too busy getting a shit pushed in. I mean, maybe the server got too slammed, so they couldn't hear it. Yeah, yeah, that's true. I was also could never tell if I was getting killed by a person or a robot. There was just everything shot at us. Yes. It's a definite fear. Gavin being an enemy on our own team, not even reviving me, pretending he was reviving me.

A crime you could have got away with without saying, because I just, I was like, it's taken a while, but whatever. I had zero suspicion that you're being a little stinker. I think that should be a mechanic of the game where it, like, gives a fake progress bar and makes your hands, like, rummage around but not doing it. Maybe if you try to revive an enemy on the other team, it allows you, like, a them a fake bar that never actually picks them up. It just loops again.

Yeah, there should be more deception in those games. That's not even deception. This is being an asshole. There's no... Isn't that what deception is? Being an asshole? No, but I feel like deception typically implies like you're deceiving for a purpose beyond self-enjoyment.

Like you deceived me in last year's Mario Party March. Yeah, but that was to try to win. There is a greater purpose for my deception. What you're describing is trolling. You wouldn't say that was an asshole move, though? No, I was. It was, but like I just, I feel like, No, it was.

Jesus Christ. Well, I was trying to argue because you offered me an alliance in this next Mario Party thing. Oh, wow. I didn't know. I'm not aware of this. I said no.

Because the whole point of an alliance is to eventually betray the alliance, and I just, don't want to do that again. Why is that the whole point of an alliance? Wait, hang on, hang on, hang on, hang on, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. The whole point. Name an alliance that doesn't betray.

The allies. Every alliance eventually betrays. The alliance. On a long enough timeline, it eventually betrays. 30 days is too long of a timeline. But you're saying that's the point? Well, like, that's the end goal. Or not goal, but like, that's the end result.

I think what Andrew's saying, you're a maniac. It's an inevitability. I think what Andrew's saying is there can only, be one winner at the end of the day. Yes. So there has to be a betrayal of an alliance at some point I don't want to do it. So I'm just not, I'm not accepting.

I take that as an interesting move. Because then it would be like a double betrayal. It's a slap to your face, Gavin. I think it's disrespect. No, it's not. I think it's a betrayal. I think it's absolutely betrayal before it is a slap to the face. Absolutely slap to the face. But the reverse is getting punched in the back of the head. But you

punch the back of my head. What I'm doing is I'm saying if we're in an alliance, I'm going to eventually break that at some point during the game, or you might. And when that moment occurs, that's the unexpected hit. You're hitting me in the back of the head. What I'm saying is, no, I'm not going to think about your best interest at any point. So that is sort of a slap in the face to your thing, but you see it. It's very clear. I feel like I let you know, I let you know ahead of time, what am I saying? I let you know ahead of time that I was going to betray you at a certain point, but you betrayed me early. Yeah, let's just avoid all that. Let's just steal stars from each other.

So wait, are you upset that he betrayed you before you could betray him? I mean, he has to be, right? That's a layer to the whole thing. But you were planning on betraying. Well, no, no, he was actually going to betray me on a certain turn, and he betrayed me early. Hmm. What was the agreed turn? Turn 20, I think. Was it? Yeah. See, the thing about when you're, when you're the betrayer, you remember the details a lot less. The betray really remembers a lot more of the specifics of what occurred.

Oh yeah. I'm coming in hot. Why don't you guys just form a timed alliance? Say like we have an alliance for the first 10 turns and then it dissolves. I'd be willing to make an alliance with Gavin during the rest of March.

What, now that we're not doing it? We're not playing. Yeah, exactly. I feel like I can keep up with that. Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait. So if you're going to make an alliance with Gavin through March, By the end of March, you will have betrayed him.

So that way he's gone in betraying. I think I can hold that alliance. I don't think I'll steal a star from Gavin in the rest of the March. Are you saying that during the next three podcast recordings we've got an alliance? Sure. Boy, that does not sound confident, bud.

I don't know how I'd betray you on the podcast. So I think it's fine. Well, you know, you're pretty, uh, you went in again on the Jackie Chan thing. I went in again on the track Oh no but I'm on your sign on that one That would just that would make you look bad You hadn't considered that actually

Yeah you hadn't thought about that angle of it That'd make you look like you in an unfair advantage I'm so excited to play more marathon And I hope there is prox chat in the way that Arkwriters is But I don't think like everyone to shoot on site Where Ark Raiders has turned into a weird Everybody wants to be a like detective or a sheriff at least in the lobby's I'm in.

There's a lot of sheriffs that are trying to protect their fellow raider that just read the crime scene wrong. And that always makes you laugh. Like you'll walk up on an already dead body and go like, oh, what do they have? And then somebody will walk in and be like, you murder her!

And just start unloading on you. It's great. All the social dynamics, that's so much fun.

We did. What did everybody do for hooky? So I was going to ask. And I was going to ask, does anyone have like an all-time hooky day? I was on a plane. What? I had a pretty good day. You were playing with the ground.

I'll give you that. What was your day, Jeff? I took a bath. You gotta be careful with the candles. Yeah, no candles. I streamed in the morning just for fun because I liked to play video games as a leisurely activity.

And then I took a bath and then I went for a very long bike ride, had a pool burger, and then watched a bunch of episodes of Twin Peaks the Return. It was a pretty solid day. That's a great day. I can't complain.

You know what, Gavin? I am. It's, I, I've pivoted hard into it. I had been holding on to Twin Peaks of the Return as the last David Lynch property to enjoy. And so now that he's dead and I know there won't be anymore, I figured maybe I'd hold on to it late in life even, you know? Like, what's the hurry? You're a big Dougie fan now?

Well, getting into it. Getting into it. Yeah. And, uh, and so I found out the other day that he was in the process of doing a 13 episode mini-series or a 13 episode series with Netflix when he died called Unrecorded Night and all they had were the finished scripts They hadn't gone into production yet

But his family is going to publish those scripts in some form So I'll be able to read that down the road So I thought oh well then that that frees me up To watch Twin Peaks to return finally after all these years And so I sat down to watch it And I gotta say dude But I we originally And I wanted to ask you about this

We originally tried to watch this together in 2017 Or whenever when it came out right? Yeah We had like little viewing parties and I can't remember how far we made it in before, I believe it was my personal life exploded and I ended up going through separation and a divorce and that killed the viewing parties in that period

and I fell off of Twin Peaks, the return somewhere in there. But do you remember how far we made it in before we fell off? I want to say like five episodes or something. I think so too. I think because I'm right around. It was already in Vegas, I think, going, hello? Yeah, that was episode two or three even. Oh, okay.

it's a fucking tremendous show. Oh. I remember not really connecting with it when we were watching it initially, and that made it easier not to go back to. I don't know where I... I just am a different place in my life. I've loved every second of it. Even Dougie has not bothered me one second.

It's awesome. I can't watch it fast enough. Yeah, I'm so into it. I'm excited to get done with all our work today, so I can get back to it. Would you say as well that you still have seen the original Twin Peaks too many times? Or are you hankering to get back into that?

I'll never watch it again. No. Okay. Oh, wow. I mean, I've seen it all the way through like six times. You know? I still have your Blu-ray. I still have the VHS tapes, too.

Oh, hell are you. I have the entirety of David Lynch's collection on VHS. That's probably worth something, actually. That's cool. Yeah, I just say some stuff you've seen enough. Like, I never need to see Buffy the Vampire Slayer again. I never need to see Twin Peaks again. There's a few that I,

would consider myself a big fan of, but I'd be happy never to watch again. What's the oldest VHS that you have? Is there one that comes to mind of like, wow, this is kind of crazy that I have this on VHS? I got me as a baby.

One that was distributed. I assume that that was it distributed nationally. Very small release, that one. Yeah. I have a racerhead and elephant, man. Those are pretty old. I have RAD on VHS. The BMX movie from the...

Rad. Oh. Incredible. What about more recent? You have like a most recent VHS? No. Do you? I was just,

do you think about like VHS things and like having collections and whatnot? It reminds me, uh, our social guy watched all of Sonsa Anarchy on VHS. I think the first two seasons. Because it aired...

How did that come out on VHS? No, no, it didn't. That's just how they recorded it. That's how they watched it. They had a VHS player, and I think it aired when they were gone, and so they just ended up recording them and their family, Sun's Anarchy, and VHS, and that's how he watched, I want to say the first two seasons of that show, was on VHS. And was this before you could stream it? I don't know what the streaming situation. When did season one of Sun's Anarchy come out, like 2012?

Well, streaming had been around ages then. Yeah. That's what makes it so funny to me. Is it such an, like, just the worst way to watch that on so many fronts? We haven't talked much about our social guy, have we on the podcast? No. No, we haven't. He's not very social.

He's in the Monday, he's in every Monday morning meeting, and I am so excited for the meeting just to hear what he says. Yeah, dude. It's same. I like learning about the decisions he makes in his personal life. They seem needlessly obtuse or complicated. Very similar to Andrew, honestly. Makes sense. Makes sense that they are friends.

Totally everything, every time I talk to them more, I go, oh, this makes more and more sense every single time. Every time you peel back a layer of the onion, it smells a little bit like Andrew. And then I realized while I was editing a little compilation of Dan's Lassow failures, that he was the guy that Dan played Lassau with. Yeah, I forgot about that. What? The guy that had the other checkpoint.

He ran Dan all the way through the final level. And Dan very quickly realized he, uh, he, didn't know what the hell he was doing and hadn't actually been there for most of the Halo run through. So he kept dying and Dan was trying to stay all patient and stuff. And at the end of all that, he got the achievement and Dan didn't. Yeah, it's perfect. Did Dan ever get that achievement? No, we're working on it now, though. Every time I go back to England, we do another little bit of Halo Lasset. Oh, God, it's hell. I don't know.

I'm not even getting anything out of doing it this time. It's just for Dan. Do you think you've played Halo Lassow more times than I've watched Twin Peaks? Oh, wow. I mean, not on that one game, but I mean, total games, yeah. Yeah. It's crazy that this is what your third. Well, I guess you didn't do the second one.

This is your second full lasso playthrough of Halo 2. Yeah. I think that most people don't even want to attempt once. Well, that's pointless. Your second. Yeah, it's terrible. Definitely pointless. The first level, just, it's brutal.

The whole game is brutal, but even the first level is just, you go in thinking you'll make progress, and then the first set of enemies, you're stuck there for like hours, unless you've practiced. It's like the opposite of fun. Yeah. I can't wait to do new lasso when that comes out.

That'll be fun. Same. Yeah. Yeah. So how did you meet a social's guy? I think I think I was doing a destiny raid with Caleb and he made us a post asking for people to join us and I think he was part of that two Caleb I know back to back Caleb it's too many I distinctly remember about that and and I think about this all the time because the social guy and I we became friends after this was uh when we beat the raid he's

like yeah I'll play so we'll play later and in my head I went I'm never going to talk to you again I distinctly remember that. I was like, never gonna play. Now he works with us. Crazy. One of my favorite stories of his

tying into like pass roosterty stuff is he would do this thing he was obsessed with skate and so he would go into EA customer support lines he'd like load into

to whatever say like yeah my NHL 15 isn't loading and then when he'd get to the customer support he'd just ask them about if Skagit date three was coming.

And he knew this all the time. And typically it would be like a pretty standardized response. But every once in a while, whoever's behind the keyboard on the other side would just be bold and be like, yeah, we're, you know, we're working on.

We got things going on behind the scenes. Hopefully we'll get an announcement soon. Like every once in a while, there'd be somebody that would like claim information on that side. And he saved it for quite a while. And then this happened for like, months. And then one evening I hopped into a party chat on Xbox and he was there. And everybody, he was, he was part of it and all the other people, everyone was freaking out. And I was like,

what's going on? And they said, have you, have you seen what the no put out? And it was during E3. He had emailed or he had sent like a DM as a scoop that he had a skate three scoop. And it was, they put it out as a video as like an insider has information on a skate three coming. You've got to be kidding me. What? And it was him. And it was his email. It was all his like customer support things.

And it. It has become an inside joke within our friend group of he's like the insider. He's got the game scoops. He's got the insider information. Oh, there's a thing where they put out the video and they changed the title of it because it was very like aggressively like we got a guy in the inside and it was fucking him. And he doesn't know anything about anything. Oh my God.

I'm just called him. Scoops. Yeah, the insider. I cannot, I cannot believe this. This is, this is, I, why, why are we, like, revealing layers? This is so nuts, Andrew. I love him. He's great.

If such a bastion of games journalism could be tricked, it's no wonder, Richard Teeth didn't make it. Oh, my Lord. Oh. I'm pretty sure the video is still up, too. Just with a much, much more, uh, passive title than it was like, the title was very clickbady of like inside scoop skate announced at e3 tomorrow type thing it was great i can believe it this is one of the all-time moments

i can only dream to have such insider knowledge man that really tickled nick oh it was good dude do you uh i was thinking about this you have any distinct memories of you hanging out with a friend and realizing like nah this this friendship's kind of not that I dislike the person, but like this is, we're never going to hang out again. Like in the moment? Yeah. Oh. Oh.

It's like coming to a realization of like, oh, no, we're just, we're interested in different things at that point in this point. And that's okay. Yes. I had something like this, but it wasn't that we were interested in different things. And it was that we were interested too much in just doing one thing, which was drinking. And it was every time we hung out. we would get just obliterated.

We got tickets to go see a hockey game, and we met it a bar. This was like the third or fourth time in a row where it's like, well, we're going to hang out, and we just ended up not doing that thing because we got so hammered. We ended up going to a bar, and then we caught an Uber over to the hockey game.

We walk in. It was dollar beer night. We never made it to our seats. We were just in the concourse drinking. I like don't remember getting home. We took an Uber back, but I don't remember getting home. And it was like the last time we hung out and we had like a conversation about, hey, we're still friends, but we can't do this anymore.

Like that, like in the moment, just knowing that it was like, this is over, unfortunately. That's a whole other layer though. Yeah, sometimes you just get a pretty clear look down the path. You're like at a forked junction and you can just see heaven at the end of one of them. You're like, let's go to the other. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. There's definitely a lot of friendships I've let go. Not let go sounds wrong, but put some space between because you can see it going in a unhealthy direction. For sure. Interesting. Especially with alcohol and stuff. Yeah. But what you're describing as how I feel about Gus, honestly, most of the time. Like when I see Gus, I'm surprised that I saw him again. You know, I'm like, oh, wow. That's I can't believe. No, I get it. I get it. And Eric knows.

As a matter of fact, I've got a situation going on right now. This is not a joke. This is just something that's actually happening in my life. Gus and I, an old friend of ours, died, and I need to tell him. But he's not talking to me right now because he's mad at me about the post office. They are Gavin? What? Gavin.

Jeff and Gus are in a candy bar fight, and it will not end. It is a war of attrition. It's real good. Yeah. And you're telling all of us that someone's died before you've told him? Well, I don't think he listens to the problem. podcast, so he's not going to find out this way. He'll still find out from me. And I'm not telling you who dies. Nobody you knew.

I just like the idea of the audience is trying to help and just messaging me like, someone died. Don't tell Gus, let me do it. Let me break it to him. I'm just still, listen, I've been friends with Gus for a really, really, really long time. I know how mad he is at me and I know how long it takes

for him to come down. So I'm just waiting the allotted time before it's safe to talk to him. He's so pissed. What's the allotted time? I got about another two weeks, I think. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, yeah.

So it'll be right, like, right before this episode comes out. The fuse, the fuse burns longer, the older he gets. I just love the idea that every time you see him, you're like, you're like, wow, I already, I already put a bullet in this. And it's insane that we're back together. Not that I put a bullet into it, but just like every time I see him, I think, like, this could be the last time I see him in person. Like, just, you know, he, he's a home body. I'm a home body. Our lives are going in different directions.

most of our friendship has been over text or online our entire friendship, you know. So it's like, we don't expect to see each other in person that often. That makes sense. I'm looking at our last text of when the fight occurred. And it was from the end of February. And I could tell that Gus was mad because in an apropos of nothing, he just sent a picture of the returned mail. you dummies never claimed the fucking box.

He's so... So a bull was dropped somewhere. He bought us a gift and it was really nice, but it just came at the wrong time. There was a lot of travel. And he inflated the amount of time it took me to get to the post office. He inflated it by like five days.

And it's so... Five days, five days. Anyway, he's... He's lucky he cut it off when he did because I, the second I realized he was mad at me, I got so happy and I got so excited. And I crafted like a 30 chain response that I was going to dive into. And this is where when you know somebody too long, it fucks with you because I think he knew. He knew that he was about to walk into me having too much fun with this.

And so he just cut it off before I had the opportunity to do. He stopped. He stopped responding. He was just like, I'm over. I have so many funny things that. we're going to piss him off and make me laugh to myself to say, and I just didn't get a chance to do any of it. And now you can't. So good.

Would you like to know that when you say goodbye to someone, would you like to know that that was the last time you saw them? Yes. I would like to know that about all things. When I walk out of a restaurant, is this the last time I'll ever go there? Oh, that's a great one. Is this the last time I'll ever eat a hot dog?

Or, you know, not a hot dog, but you know what I mean? Like, I think that all the time. I wonder if when I walked away from Andrew and he was stuck in the chair that was about, to explode. I wonder if that was the last time I ever would have seen you. Oh, wow. Hmm. I don't know. I'd freak out because I go the other way with it where what if you have a day where everything says this is the last time. You know, your death is in like a final destination. Yeah. It's not like just drifting apart. You know that everyone's going to see for the last. No,

it's like, oh boy, this is a good. I have that a lot. I think as you get older, that's, creeps in pretty consistently. I was riding my bike the other day and I rode by a park that we used to play with Millie at a lot when she was a kid and she would, you know, there was like a jungle gym and stuff

and Gavin, you were there. We used to play Frisbee with her a lot at this park. Oh yeah, yeah, got it stuck in the tree. Yeah, that's right, this is right. I just, I stopped there and I sat on a park bench and I was just like,

catching my breath for a minute on the bike ride. And I got to thinking, I had, I don't know when the last time I took Millie to a playground was. Like, and I had no idea on that day,

this is the last time your daughter's ever going to want to go to a playground. She's about to age out of it. Sure. And like she won't want to want to go back to a playground again until she's like 17 and wants to smoke pot or whatever. And I'd kill to be able to go back and see those moments, you know, and know that like on a random Wednesday after I picked her up from school

and I took her to a playground, that was the day. That was just the last day, you know. Yeah, it would be interesting if the little chime went off for various different things. Because some things could initially be seen as like a positive. Like if you shit your pants and then it went like boom, like, oh, that's the last time I'm going to shit my pants. But that could also mean, oh, shit, that's the last time I'm going to shit my pants.

Yeah, but maybe life's not that long. Imagine you shit your pants and it doesn't ding. Oh, yeah, I would just test it. That would be a great way to gauge how much life you've got. It's just to load up your pants and see if it's the last time you do it. I think I'm good with not knowing in that scenario. You don't want to know? No, I'm good.

If that's the metric, the track? Do you think you try to fuck with the natural order of time? Like, let's say you shit your pants and you hear the ding. Do you think I would immediately go to Taco Bell and be like, no, I'm going to see if I can do this again. I'm going to see if I can break out of this final destination style. But then it's that paradox thing of like you going to the Taco Bell would be the reason you get killed.

Whereas it's possible. Yeah. Maybe you choke on beans or something. Or I think it would be, the scenario in which it is already factored in that talk about trip that you're not actually breaking out of the timeline like you're that was a consideration in that

like it was always going to happen yeah like that that was factored into the ding it's not that he's doing something spontaneous that was always the known plan of it what would be a happy ding for you Andrew the last time oh no that could also be a bad ding

never mind I'm gonna say the last the Vancouver Canucks lost a game, but then I just went, oh, they just moved the franchise and then it's just... Uh, good ding. I don't know.

I think I am anxiety-brained enough that I could turn any ding into a negative ding potentially. Could be a cause for alarm. What was the last time you choked? Oh, like last night. What do you mean? What?

Like a day ago, like a day or two. What? I was eating something and it like got caught in my throat and I was doing like the thing, you know, we're like, you clear your throat. But I remember thinking the only reason why I know this up on my head was it was a small piece of food,

but it like just hit a bad angle, I guess. And really like, yeah. caught the throat. Yes, I was like coughing up and going like this is. That was a very small bite and piece of food to be doing this.

What was the food? You know what it was? Also it was crazy. Now you say, I'm remembering this. Watermelon. I was having some watermelon. Delicious. Oh, so good.

I was on TikTok like a week ago and I saw a clip of somebody eating like watermelon in a bowl and I've been on a watermelon kick ever since. It's so good. It's so good. Yeah, it is. I've been on it too. Big kick. Big kick of watermelon. Hell yeah.

Yep. Be Thursday and be like, I don't feel like refilling my water. I'll just grab this watermelon from my fridge. I'm good. You ever, uh, you ever pour a little bit of salt on your watermelon when you eat it? I, yeah. That's a bad. Famous thing, I don't want that though.

I just want that water. Like, I get it. Do you think there's a way, you know how you can peel an orange in one piece? Yeah. Could you do it with a watermelon? Oh.

No, but we should try, right? Didn't we already do watermelon stuff? Didn't we melancholmol? We put one in another one, but I wonder if you could potentially just like start shaving a ribbon and just have it, like, see how long a watermelon is.

We should do a carmelon. to see who can shave the longest watermelon ribbon in the office? Yeah, I mean, we can give it a try, sure. Can we do it outside so we don't have to clean up all the watermelon stuff? We don't really have it outside. Yeah, we don't know. I guess the answer is probably no. It seems like that was a no and nobody immediately said yes.

Well, I was thinking about it and then I thought no. Yeah. There's going to be so much watermelon residue everywhere. It's going to be bad. All right. We'll shoot at Eric's backyard. Thanks, Eric. Just like, man, crazy.

I think next year, instead of like a jackal lantern with a pumpkin, maybe I'll just use a watermelon. Oh, that's a good idea. I don't know that they're in season, but sure. Oh, yeah. Could you dehydrate one? You could beheaded anything.

I mean, I suppose you can just take all the hydration out of it. Yeah, you can. Probably be tiny. Yeah, it'd be tiny. Yeah, I mean, water is the first word in the whole thing. So yeah, they lead with it. Yeah. Something to think about.

Hey, Andrew. Yes. Can I get a review of the hockey hero burger? Terrible. Dreadful. It's a dreadful burger. And McDonald's Canada right now, there's a meal called the hockey hero meal where you get a mini stick of one of, I think, like, eight players. And then you also get a weird three paddied, but like it's a cross.

It's not like a Big Mac thing. It's three meat patties with cheese and lettuce and bacon bits and mayo. And they use the mic rib bun on it to get coverage of it. And it sucks. It's so bad. What sucks about it? It just doesn't have enough grip. So I had like, I took a bite.

Grip. And then I had half a patty essentially just like fall out of it. Like it just doesn't. It's not enough space to hold the whole thing. That sounds like user error. Nah, it's just poorly designed. The bun itself isn't very good. I'm not a big McRip guy.

I was hoping for something other than just the micrib bun. Do you struggle to hold the McRibb? No, not at all. Is that what you did for Hooky Day was Eat This Burger? What did I do for Hooky Day? I don't know if that was on Hooky Day. I don't think that was on Hooky Day. I thought you reported it yesterday.

Yeah, I guess it would be the third. No, I guess, yeah, I ate the burger yesterday. So yeah, I guess I did do that on Hockey Day. Hockey Days were weird for me because when I had a fear, shocking, anxiety, although this one was kind of warranted where I didn't have a Halloween costume until the day of Halloween. And so I played Hockey to go to the mall to figure out a Halloween costume. and I didn't see them, but one of the teachers at the school

also happened to be at the mall that day and I got in trouble when I went back to school the following day. So from that point forward, any hooky day is lockdown. Not leaving the house. Don't want to get caught. You know you're grown up now.

Yeah. Yeah, but what if a teacher still catches them, man? I don't know. But I feel like the spirit of the hooky day is like school. It's like school-minded. Yeah, I mean, it's like, anything. I agree.

But I mean, I just think it's like you don't have to go at all to the thing that you need to go to. Like me and Nick went to barbecue yesterday. Yeah. I tried to get into the mind, because I think of Hockey Day is a, as I look at school type thing to you, Andrew. And I actually tried to put myself in that mindset. Like, I remember when I would get to play Hockey with my friends, we would always ride our bikes to like downtown, whatever downtown was where we lived. And because it was like all the grownups were in suits with briefcases and stuff and you're dicking around. and throwing oranges at each other or whatever.

And so I rode my bike downtown to try to recreate that, and it was so lame and boring. I just did my normal ride. I couldn't connect with it in any way whatsoever. I was a little disappointed, actually. At Desjardin Insurance, we know that when you're a building contractor, your company's foundation needs to be strong.

I think my Hall of Fame Hockey Day move, I once played hooky so I could finish the campaign as Saints Row 1. I was enjoying it. And I got a call while I was playing it. No call. Like I didn't have call ID.

I picked it up and I just, I answered, hello. Is Andrew. is this. And it was one of the teachers at the school checking it on me. They're like, oh, man, you're, you're super. Yeah. You don't worry about it. Usually you're stood outside of the classroom and there's no one here today. Yeah, they're, yeah. And they were just, they were like taken aback by how sick I sounded. And I internally, I was like, who, who, do you think maybe you overdid it and they, they were, no, get an ambulance involved? No. I didn't go that far. It went the other way where I felt like they were going to, like, talk to me about doing like school stuff from

home and they were like, you're way too sick. Don't worry about it. Then I went back to finishing St. Serra. Great game. I did something similar one time where right after I moved to Austin and I was broke and I didn't have any kind of, I think I just bought my house actually, my first house, so I really didn't have any money. And I kind of needed to take a vacation. I was like piling up vacation days at my job. And so I took a week off and I just played Final Fantasy 10. And it was to this day, maybe the best vacation I've ever had. I didn't leave my house. I just sat in my living room and I played Final Fantasy 10

like eight hours a day for a week until I got all the ultimate weapons and was totally done. And then I went back to work as recharged as I had ever been. I think I took a day off to watch the Bruce Almighty DVD once. Was that good? Is it fun? You're a good time? Oh yeah. There were outtakes.

I think it was like as I was grabbing my bag to go to school. It came through the letterbox. Whoa. And I just thought, I'm putting my back there. That's destiny. Yeah. You have to at that point.

That's incredible. Did you watch it multiple times that day or just once? Just once. You just watched it and then basked the rest of the day. I also once fell over on the way to school and got covered in mud and I just went home. Yeah. Yeah. Depending on the mud ratio, I can understand that.

I think of it. Like, I also used to take. shifts at waitrose during school hours? Shifts. Shifts did not sound like what it was. Like there was a rule where you couldn't work. Like even if I had free periods after lunch to the end of the day, you weren't allowed to work. So I took shifts and I had to constantly look out for teachers shopping. I would hide a lot.

I get it. I completely understand that. We should talk about the fact that that Ace Ventura rhino thing is available as a prop. to buy. Oh, you could buy that. Yeah, I saw Adam Savage making a video about it. Yeah, it's I guess a planet Hollywood version of, oh, I get, I don't know if it's a version of it, or I think it's the film prop, but they had it displayed in an old plane at Hollywood. How much to go for? Last I checked the current top bid with $4,000, I want to say. It's become very viral, like people are posting about it all the time, so. Speaking of that, the time capsule, I don't think

we got. No. I kept getting out bid on it and at some point I got, I just didn't feel comfortable bidding. Oh yeah, absolutely. No, totally. Yeah. I think I made it up to, yeah. I'm always okay with that. It's like if we forget, then that, that's a bummer. But I just really like the idea of opening up a time capsule that somebody else created to be opened up at 2100 in, you know, now. And getting to share it with the world. I'm really bummed we couldn't do that. But they were just, it was fucking price. You know how much it ended up going for? Last time I checked it was $1,500. Whoa, oh my God.

That's way too much. Why was it being sold if it's not 20, 28 or whatever? Because the Friar, 210, 2004 or 2114 or something. And the Friars Club went under, and they sold the building. And so it was just like the time capsule that they had put in at like 2004 or 2014 or whatever. It just got pulled out of the building. and sold. Yeah, you gotta pick a good spot for your time capsule.

Yeah. You do. I had a good laugh looking at there is a Gwyneth Paltrow auction coming up of a bunch of her stuff and it's like 90% clothing and I was going through it just thinking like I wonder what the weird... At some point the clothing has to stop and they're just going to be random items. Whole bunch of guitars and also a photo of... Chris whatever from Coldplay.

Chris Martin. Is that his name? Yeah. It's like clearly like a divorce like they've divorced since then and I don't need this giant photo of Chris Martin. And then there is a my favorite thing in the whole auction was a it's not like a platinum record. It's like it's an acknowledgement of a lot of sales for a record from the Australian music company. for a single she did that was part of a musical I think with Huey Lewis it's her and Huey Lewis

on the track and I just, it's so stupid. What? What a ridiculous thing they're randomly owned? Like if you went into somebody's house and they just had on their wall a certificate of like platinum sales for this thing in Australia

that is Gwyneth Paltrow and Huey Lewis I wish I could find it. off the top my head. It's fun to go through like these auction things and just see like the absurd items. You're good at finding them.

You really are good at finding them. I just, I really like looking through that stuff because it's, there's always, you'll be scrolling and the next thing you know it is an urn of a dog

inside that they decide not to sell because that's fucking crazy. So are we getting this rhino then? I don't know about, I don't think so. I don't think so. Yeah. How more,

where would we put it? More like, how would we afford it? How much of $4,000 thing? I mean, that's how it is to me. It's just the cost thing. It's like so cost prohibitive for a thing that is funny, but I just don't. I mean, I think we would put it right next to the guillotine, but. Yeah, or we could put it where the bog is once we move the bog inside.

So you want the rhino outside and the bog inside. I'm going to pitch and I need a Gavin then he's going to. What if you modified your home and it was your front door? I love this. I think this is great. How do you make a rhino a door? You just circle the building around the entrance of the rhino thing. So you would open up the side of the rhino, go through the front door, and then climb out of the anus into your house?

I was just thinking remove the door entirely and you just don't have an actual door now. You just crawl through this rhino asshole every time you have to enter your home. Trying to walk in with groceries and it's... It's just the worst. I mean, that makes sense to me. Yeah. Yeah? I would do it.

I think there's a whoopey Goldberg auction that ends in a week and there is a key to the city in that. So we got to be on top of that. We got to look and let me know. I'll place the bids. Does it have to be me? Am I the one that has to do the bids now? Yes.

Okay. Yeah, then let me know. I will let you know. I will forget. Have you done any time capsules, Andrew? I remember there being talk of a time capsule. What if we did one where every time you get a chair, you've put a time capsule underneath the seat? Oh.

And when it breaks, you have to open it. That's great. I want to do that. Current thoughts, items, that will be opened exactly a year later. I'm just, I love that idea. I'm looking through this auction. I just wanted to post really quickly this link of the Chris Martin, going to thongered.

It's like the least you'd want. You're like, you just don't want that type of photo of your divorced husband. Yeah. Yeah. Why is it squashed? I don't know. It's like printed wrong. Yeah, it's, that's, that's so.

It's like a wider aspect ratio than the frame. He's also dirty. Like, wash your fucking face. I'm pretty sure it's from the Viva La Vita music video. Oh. what that is. It looks like it's, it looks like it's from that, but, uh, I forget that Eric's such a big cold playhead.

Hey man, they were all yellow. This, I, I just think that, I just think that Gavin's right about the aspect ratio. It looks all, it looks all weird. It looks bizarre. It looks like anamorphic, but it's not been de-squeased yet. Yes. Yeah, that is what it looks like.

Yeah. What? Oh, duets. God, Huey Lewis, pretty cool. Wow. Yeah, dude. Dude, that's a part of it. Power Love. This is great. That's so funny. What a weird thing to have. Yeah, that's the Gwyneth Paltrow Australian Platinum record award.

Why do you think she doesn't want that anymore? I don't know, but apparently nobody else does because the current bit is 50. $50 for her platinum award? Yeah. When does it end? Oh, you know what? I would buy the shipping is such. Dude, shipping is so expensive. Shipping is crazy. Oh, it's going to be like, five. $500 for a $50 fucking frame. I just saw it. It's like 50 bucks to hang that in my office would be so funny. The other $400 it would cost to get it to me would make it not be as funny every time I looked at it. Anytime you think about buying anything on this auction house, Eric, think about the day we had to rent the U-Haul to pick up the guillotine from your house. Yep.

Yep. Oh, I remember. It sucks. And that's a thing. Shipping for a lot of these companies and like a lot of this stuff. They like, we don't have control over our shipping. That is just how much it costs to ship things. This stuff is like,

I think that they have to, it's like handle with care through like these larger companies. And man, they are like. They don't fuck around. No, not at all. I mean, that guillotine was disassembled and delivered in a way, not even like disassembled, but like in a way delivered where it was like,

this is in pristine condition. Like you do not have to worry about this being damaged. in transit. It's wild. It's, man, it's pretty crazy and so fucking expensive. But it made it the size of a house, unfortunately. It's huge. It's massive. Like that one picture, that one, I don't know how big that duets thing is, but I could surmise. And I, it would still manage to come in a fridge box somehow. Yep. And it would be palletized. And there would be, there would be wooden slats everywhere, screwed to other wooden slats. And you're like, it's just a fucking picture of an album cover.

Yeah. It's great. Looking at this stuff and what goes for what is always so fascinating. Like I'm going to, here I'll read there's currently one that's like American history based. And this is what the lot is. I want you guys to guess how much the current bit is and what their estimate value is for this. It is a x-ray of Einstein's skull. Whoa. Oh.

Was it a reprint or the actual? X-ray. It's the actual X-ray, I believe. A set of Miler Radiograph copies featuring Albert Einstein's skull created in 1973 by Dr. Leonard M. Freeman, a professor of radiology at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine

New York City, where the original radiographs from 1945 were donated. So I guess it is a copy. Accompanied by a Xerox copy of Einstein's blood work results from 1950 to you. What? I'm going to say $1,300. $1,300?

And what do you think they're estimating the value of this is? 2,500. Okay. I'm going to say 500 and 1,200. Got to guess, science guy? Is that Nick? No, it's you. Jesus Christ.

What are you doing? 250. Estimate, 300 to 500. Current top bid, 1,000. Somebody has $1,000 down already for Einstein's X-ray. A little bit of it to say. But you could just. What's in his mouth?

Teeth. Teeth. What's the other shit? I don't know. He's got like metal plates in his face. Maybe he had like dental work and stuff. Maybe that's what made him so smart. Metal plates. Yeah.

Maybe that's what made him so smart. You got to watch the deleted scenes of Oppenheimer to find out what's going on there. See now that, I'd pay 500 bucks for his mouth plates. Oh, I would I would pay $500 for the x-ray of Ryan Dunn's asshole car

That's the only X-ray I think I'd want to buy How much would you buy The car for? I don't want to touch the car I don't need the car It was in a Johnny Yeah, I just don't need it

The photo is way funnier to me In the car At some point when we've I don't know I guess retired or whatever The sunset of the podcast in a thousand episodes or like we're all in our 90s or whatever

and we we're like it's time to rest. We should find a a museum somewhere on earth that will accept our donated, curated collection. There has to be somewhere out there that's going to want our keys to the cities and our guillotines

and our cups and pictures of assholes and everything else that we're going to get. What would you want more Ryan Dunn's X-ray or if we did the same with Jeff. Oh, Ryan Duns. Oh, wow. I don't know.

Easily. Jeff X-ray would be cool. It would be cool, but you're giving me an either or here. You can see some of my diverticular polyps, maybe. You get a little extra more than you bargain for with me. Oh, okay. I mean, maybe no one's tried crashing a little car into him. Might help.

I'm willing to do it for the sake of the podcast. No, you wouldn't. You wouldn't put a car on your ass. Put a toy car up my, like a little matchbox car at my ass? Yeah. Like in a condom or something like they did? And then you just get a doctor to take a picture of it and then take it right back out. Yeah, I'd do that.

Why not? Would you let me put a Johnny on the end of a champagne bottle? It shouldn't be alcoholic. Something fizzy with a cork. Sparkling apple juice. Yeah, yeah. And I shake it up and I fire the cork through the condom into your asshole. I think that that might call.

cause damage. Okay. I like where you're going with it, but I think it might cause damage. Has anyone ever played tug of war cork? That's a really interesting question. I kind of want to do, I kind of want to just try that now. Hmm. So it would be two like champagne bottles or whatever with a string attached and whoever's

pops first? Just the corking. Cork connected by string. Up each arse. ass. Oh. Yeah. And you got to try

and clenching it. You got to try to hold it to your cork. So you're, so you're the champagne bottle. Yeah. Yeah. Do you think now here's, now I'm just sort of like,

I'm spitballing here. You know, feel free to say no. Should both people who are corked be a little bit filled so that way, you know, like when the cork bursts,

there's like, you know, a champagne style explosion? No. That's disgusting. You get a good like. No, it's just cork. Only cork.

Only cork. What a website. Do you want to try this? Uh, I don't know. I don't think my ass could do anything special. I've had trouble getting stuff up it. When I had to put pills in it and that. Kept shooting out.

You try coating in peanut butter? trick it like a dog wait what was the peanut butter do trick the asshole into liking it like they do with dogs trick for the awful on pills yeah you gotta convince it gotta trick it a little bit

nice thinks it's getting a peanuty treat little doesn't know have you thought about putting it in a pill pocket and then shove it up your ass maybe a little bit of baby bell cheese around it I don't think my ass could be tricked. Oh, you're asking me.

I'm never gonna fall for it. No, it will. Oh, God. Sounds like everyone's interested except Eric then. No? I mean, I pitched, I pitched my idea. You told me no, so I don't want anything to do with this. Well, you were becoming foul.

You told, I'm just saying you told me no, so. I thought your idea had some merit, Eric. I do. I appreciate it, but it's already been shot down by the coins are. So I was even trying to come up with like a champagne, shampoo kind of the name for it. I never got there before I got shut down there. Hey, Jeff, I appreciate you, man. That your yes, your yes-ending ability is second to none, man.

Thank you. I appreciate that, man. Thank you. Shampoo ball. It's easy to yes and when you know there's a 98% chance you're not going to do any of it ever. That's a great way to do it clean actually as do the shampoo bowl. Like Andrew, you thought one was in your ass. Have you ever tried?

There's no thinking that one was. I thought we established that it wasn't in your ass. No, I think it was. What, you're changing it? No, you said you thought. you were like acting as it was in there and then you've realized it wasn't. Oh, maybe it wasn't then? I don't know. I don't remember.

It was traumatic. It was late at night. Well, so now we've got to test it. We've got to see how long you could hold a shampoo in your ass. Nah, I'm good. We're talking about, like, quirks and whatnot. I don't know how we got the shampoo. That's more invasive. If it's just two shampoos tied together and we're just using the cheeks, I think that's a much cleaner experiment. No, I think we got to try putting one of these pills and, like, a little cake for you and see if it just goes right up there. No problem.

I don't want to put a cake in my... ass. Well, you think that, but your ass might think otherwise. My ass is me. I'm my ass. No, your ass is two asses and each ass is independent. I talk out of mine every week. Zinger. I think it's probably time we stop doing this. If nobody has any objections, I'm gonna, I'm gonna end to this podcast. No objections. No objections for me, Jeff. Oh, wow. You guys...

It's down. Okay, fine. All right. I guess not, then. Well, I thought maybe we had a little bit more left in the tank, but it seems like the guys don't want to. I guess the corks are firmly in place, and everybody's ready to just sit on it for a week. Thank you for listening to another episode of the Regulation Podcast.

This was episode 97. It sure was. We'll see you next week. Bye. Bye.
