Hello and welcome to another regulation supplemental.
This is sausage talk
number four, I believe.
My name is Jeff Ramsey.
Four.
As always, the other four.
Speaking of four sausages, Eric, Gavin,
Andrew, and Nick, we decided to have a sausage talk.
I think Gavin, you actually called sausage on this one.
I think it was a good sausage call.
I agree.
He threw the sausage.
flag down.
Oh, maybe we need a sausage flag to go with the potato flag.
Just a sausage you can bung in Discord and it just ends the conversation.
Save it for the sausage.
I have a sausage-related question in a general sense.
Okay.
How many sausages are in a pack of sausages, typically?
12?
12?
No, eight.
Yeah, I would think eight.
I would think eight.
I think once we hit our ninth sausage talk, that's season two.
I think we bundle the first eight
That's a pack that's season one
I have seasonal sausages
I think so
I like a nice pack
We can't have too many sausages in the pack
It would get all crammed
It'd get squished
What if there was a store
That was called Baker's Dozen
And it just sold stuff in 13s
That was it schick
Interesting
Is there
Because people always complain
that hot dog buns and hot dogs
don't sell in equal amounts
like you get more buns than dog
is there other foods like that
and if so that could be a great gimmick for a store
a store that only sells equal
items of everything you need
but I can't think of another example really
of the hot dog hot dog bun
yeah I was going to say I think most things that I get
are in the equal amount of things that I need
like typically I think unfortunately
the hot dog hot dog bun might be the only example
is that well I guess maybe burger to burger bun
that probably doesn't line up but you don't hear about that nearly as much
I think more people make patties than buy patties probably
yeah I agree yeah I guess and then you could theoretically do other things with that
meat in a way that you can't with a hot dog you can do a lot with that meat if you want to
yeah yeah that's a good point yeah what you've been doing with your meat Jeff
oh dude I've been doing a lot with my meat thank you for asking you know I bought that
I just want a meat check.
We've been doing ankle checks.
I think it's time we start doing meat checks.
I love it.
I love that we're doing meat checks.
I bought that Ninja wood-fired electric grill, you know?
So I've been doing the...
Oh, you've been doing the grill.
I did some lemon pepper chicken the other night.
It was all right.
It was thin sliced, so it cooked fast.
I don't feel like I have a skillet to do steak.
But I should look into the ninja thing, I guess maybe.
I don't know.
Yeah, steak.
Steak is good.
Ninja doesn't just chop stuff anymore.
They do other stuff?
Yeah, dude.
I bought like the
2005 version of the electric
George Foreman Grill
but it's a ninja
and it's like a grill
it's a smoker
it's an air fryer all in one
and it's outside
if we have to throw a regulation flag
in the middle of a sausage talk
is this a fucking episode
what is going on
the last episode is very sausage heavy
and this sausage is very episode heavy
I'm going to be honest
I don't know
I truly I don't know what a sausage talk is
we've done however many of these
still don't really get it.
You're the question guy.
What do you mean?
What do you mean?
You gather the sausage meat.
No, I understand.
I gather the sausage meat for the thing.
And I understand the idea of like production talk, but I just, I never fully know.
What, to what extent?
It sounds like you understand the podcast then.
You just described sausage talk.
He nailed it.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
I got off on a tangent because Andrew asked me about my grill.
And I'm really into that grill.
I made some fucking asparagus the other night
that would blow your dick out of your own ass.
Would you say you're ready to take the mantle of Grillmaster again?
Yeah, I'm getting up there.
I'm getting pretty close to it, for sure.
But I believe Gavin called sausage
because recently we went for our yearly boat outing
and as we do most times on the boat,
we came up with a bunch of dumb ideas
and we compiled them all
and we were going to dive into them,
drafts and what have you,
on the episode, but it seemed like so much
that it would probably dominate the episode
and it felt like it made more sense
to do over here on a sausage talk
as Andrew so eloquently described
the purpose of earlier.
And Eric said he's got a sausage or two.
He wants to throw onto the pile.
Andrew, hopefully you've got one or two
you want to cook up. I know we have some questions as well.
Yeah, I got the questions.
So we're going through these ideas and it's the thought
like we're going to gladiator style thumbs up, thumbs down,
figure it out or like what?
what's the overall goal?
I think we have to just pitch them
so that we all are aware of them in the universe
and then hopefully they will find their way
into the bit barrel.
Speaking of the bit barrel,
an audience member
gave me a suggestion that I've been holding on to
because I wanted to talk about
in sausage talk.
I felt like this is the best thing.
I think it's a brilliant idea.
Hit us with it.
Someone named, I wrote his name down,
their name down.
Kelsmont on my stream the other day
said, we should have a go-to-second barrel
option. Like one of the pieces of paper should be go to second barrel. And then we have a second
smaller barrel. I don't know what's in that barrel, but I cannot wait to find out. I like the
idea of having like a cup, one of the cupboards just has the second barrel in it. And we have
very rarely has to be wheeled out. It's like dusty and she. Yeah, it's a great idea. What
of the second barrel is just a barrel that's a fire pit. And if you get to go to second barrel,
you then have to pull something from the bit barrel.
and whatever gets pulled goes into the pit.
And it's gone.
You lose the bit.
Oh, you burn the bit.
So it's like a burn barrel?
It's like a burn barrel for bits.
But if you pull to go to second barrel,
that means a bit is getting killed.
Yeah, that's a crazy idea.
I love that.
And it might be your favorite bit.
It might be a thing we're pumped about,
but it fucking is gone.
Yeah,
it's the most destructive thing
we've ever pitched here on this show.
I really like that.
It's like the way that the moon,
not moon draft is cursed.
Maybe this is like,
oh, you know what?
this actually this would have been cursed.
We had to get rid of it.
This is the universe.
But what if it's a really good bit
and it's heading for the burn barrel?
What if everyone has an angel barrel
that they can save?
I think if it was a really good bit
and it was in the bit barrel,
it wasn't that good of a bit.
Oh, wow.
So it's like a shit bit barrel.
Here's my,
the only way that you can persuade me
as if the angel barrel
that you're describing is a burnable item
that you have to then replace
for the burn barrel.
So you burn that and it's gone.
It's a physical like you're still.
Something always needs to be burned
when you go to the second barrel,
but you can intervene and put
your angel save or whatever
in the burn barrel instead.
And then how do we incorporate
shot in the dark into this?
Here, I can get Eric on board
really quickly.
We're going to have the angel save
be a little ratty boys
that you could throw into the fire.
We're never going to be able to hang on to
and they're all going in the fire day one.
So it's like save a bit, burn a rat sort of swap.
Save a bit burn a rat.
There you go.
I love it.
Now,
As I was.
It's so stupid.
Go to second barrel in the bit barrel.
All right.
So we've decided go to second barrel is a thing.
Okay, good.
Yeah.
Well, thank you again, Kelsmont, for that recommendation.
I thought that was fucking awesome.
Great suggestion.
I'm going to try to go to where the drafts were.
Okay, so goddamn, I have so many other dumb ideas here, too.
Okay, the first idea I have here is a fads draft.
We came up with it on the boat, fads draft, fads from your childhood, you know, like pegging your jeans or in Gavin's case, just getting paid.
Yeah, I don't.
Like, that was the example, and that really, I think half the audience just went, huh?
Hold on this.
Pagging your jeans?
You could have said pogs.
Could have said pogs.
Could have said pogs.
I didn't have,
the pogs weren't a trend
when I was going on up.
This.
You do that to your jeans.
There you go,
pegging in jeans.
Okay.
Yeah.
It's a shame you can't see
the strap on
further up the picture.
Ha!
Ha!
Ha!
Ha!
Ha!
Ha!
Ha!
Ha!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Oh, boy.
Oh, Christ, that's great, Keff.
So, anyway, getting pegged as an example, as a fad.
So that would be your first pick.
Getting pegged.
Yeah, getting pegged.
Then jelly bracelets, probably after that.
But, you know, so a fads draft, just like everybody drafts fads from their life
or the, that they experienced or whatever comes to mind.
That seems like a no-brainer.
Here's my gladiator vote.
Okay, good.
That can go in the bit barrel, I feel like.
Yeah.
I put that in the bit barrel.
Are you marking it or should I be marking it?
You mark it.
Okay.
Well, wait.
This isn't going in the bit barrel, is it?
Because this is a drag.
No, this is something we can just do.
I'm just going to go back to it.
Jeff is flying by the seat of his pants, but you have to allow him to do it so we can do this.
I think it's only if we're like three months down the line and we've forgotten about this, does it end up in the bit barrel?
Yeah.
And I also think we should maybe have a little evening with.
the Falcons, just like
when we made the summer playlist, which we tested
out this weekend. Oh, that's a great idea.
And we'll have them help us
with the old dropped bits for the barrel.
Oh, that's a great idea. It's a great idea.
Absolutely. As I'm
looking at ideas like make mustard
to go in the deviled egg off,
which is two ideas and one.
Are these just ideas that you have
somewhere else and not on the list
of regulation idea bank? No, no, no.
I have the idea of the stuff that we're
talking about the drafts from the
boat. I'm just looking up and I see
the deviled egg off
on a different list. And I was like, oh yeah, we got to do the
deviled egg off. I was just using it as an example.
Next one.
This was Barbara's
idea. This was Eric's
small wife's idea. We call it Andrew's list.
Andrew
creates a bunch of prompts
of questions that need to
be answered. All of the
questions go into a hat
or a bit barrel where we randomly
pull like three questions out.
And then through the course of a podcast or let's play recording, our job is to get the answer to these secret questions from the other members we're recording with without them figuring out that that's what we're asking.
I like it.
Did I explain that well, Eric?
You explained it perfectly.
Oh, you didn't ask me.
Well, it's Eric's wife's idea and he was there when she pitched it.
So I just wanted to, I was asking him if I explained it well.
I think you did great.
Okay.
Eric, are you doing something else?
Nope. I am. I'm waiting.
I'm waiting for it to wrap up because Jeff was asking me.
Andrew wanted to answer, and I'm just checking on what's going on.
It's tough when there's no immediate feedback, huh?
Yeah, that was a good Gavin impression by you.
Gavin, that's what it's like. That's our end.
That's what we hear.
Just nothing.
I don't know why when you put out a question to the group and no one says anything,
you come straight for me.
Because you never do, even when it's at.
at you. That's why. Because you're the one that I'm most worried about not saying something,
not speaking up in the moment and having something to say about it later. So I just want to make sure
that I get buy-in at that point because that's when we're discussing it. I feel like it doesn't
happen in person because in person I often would put my hand up by my chin and sort of look
up as I'm thinking. But you can't see that on this. Do you want to, you should turn on your
camera, I suppose. Oh yeah. I don't know. I don't always have an answer. 45 milliseconds.
after you stopped talking.
Let me think about it.
Okay, not 45 milliseconds.
There was an example today in the meeting
where there was something talked about
with all of you, and every other person said
yes, except you
until someone specifically asked you.
To be honest, if three people have said yes,
then that's what's happening.
Exactly.
Well, but that's not.
I mean, majority rules.
It's not how that works if you need to be a thing.
He got you to agree with them for a second there.
If you want your fourth, okay,
throw it in, but it's happening.
I always want the okay from you if you're okay with it because you're dreaming if you think
you're dreaming if you think that it's not going to be a thing where if you don't want to do it
or you have a problem with it or whatever, that it's not going to be a thing we have to figure
out later.
And I don't mind doing that, but it's just that we're in the middle of talking about it then.
So I'm trying to just get an answer from you at that point.
If I'm in a dinner party and everybody but you says yes, I'm not going to assume that you're
also coming to the dinner party.
I can't just put a plate down and be like, well, everyone said, yes, it's happening.
Gavin's going to be here.
It's crazy.
Okay.
So it's kind of like an RSVP to a wedding kind of thing.
It's just a basic communication thing, I feel like.
I don't get the RSVP.
But you need someone to say yes or no, though, right?
If they're invited?
I think if there's an activity and you're expecting a reply by that person.
Yeah, like a wedding?
Sure.
that's crazy man are you talking about jack so the way i the way i see it working because
it has to be it has to be funneled into a game in some way right which means there has to be
stakes so i'm i'm going to take an example andrews one of andrews questions is uh find out
the name of gavin's first girlfriend and so then you have to figure out how to get that
question answered in the process of recording episode 68 of the podcast or whatever if
If Gavin says, hey, wait a minute, are you asking a question from the hat?
And he catches you, that's a strike against you.
But if he calls a strike and you're like, no, I just was really curious about your first girlfriend's
name, then that's a strike against him.
So you've got to be careful with your strikes.
It's such a good idea to get us back to, like, a paranoid era that is, like, you never
know where it's coming.
And so you're asking false flag questions because you want to trip people up.
Yeah.
But you also, yeah, you know what I mean?
And then so say you get like two or three questions, everybody pulled.
and then the first person to get all three answers wins the meta game,
and that's what that content is called Andrew's List.
If everybody's okay with that,
then Eric can put it on the board.
I'm putting it on the board right now.
I feel like we have to have a better name than Andrew's List,
because when you said Andrew's List,
I didn't remember immediately what it was.
I mean, is it for everyone or just for Andrew?
We talked about having Andrew come up with all the prompts,
but it could be Gracie, too, that does it.
So they're like questions?
Yeah, so it would be, it's, you're just trying to,
you give everyone a different,
question to try to get an answer to during the uh during like this recording and it has to be
something that's like a little off the wall but about someone like i think i think a little bit like
personal without being too too personal and uh we're just trying to get that information for you
uh in that recording and whoever does it wins without being caught yeah without getting caught yeah
if andrew asked me how i got started in slow mo i'm going to be real suspicious
But it could also be Gracie's list if Andrew wants to play.
It doesn't matter to me.
It's just like the genesis.
I think that the point is just the game.
Right, right, right.
No, I'm just thinking of trying to think of a better name that's not indicative of one person
because I think that throws it.
If it's like questions from a hat, you know.
So I'm trying to get a piece of information stated by one of you to another person, essentially.
Like I'm trying to prompt an answer.
Is that what I'm doing?
You are secretly giving each of us a prompt that we are trying to get the answer to.
So, in Jeff's example, say you give me the question of, hey, Eric, I need you to find out the name of Gavin's first girlfriend.
So, and we all, at that same time, you've given the other three guys a different thing that doesn't, maybe doesn't have to do with Gavin.
Maybe it's Nick trying to get something for me or Gavin trying to get something from Jeff, whatever.
The number, my little league number, whatever, yeah.
I, so I wasn't, got it.
I was thinking initially that these were just questions I had about the universe.
See, that's why I think Andrew's list is a tough name.
Right, right.
Because Andrew has a lot of questions about the universe.
I do.
And he started, and he began making a list with some answers, but mostly questions.
Yes.
That's true.
But would you rather play, Andrew or do the prompts?
I love doing the prompts.
Andrew's answers are questions, which makes it a little harder.
I was just wondering if the, the concept,
of lightning doesn't strike twice
was that all related to Benjamin Franklin
because he's the most
famous old person that I can think of
that was struck by lightning
the most famous old person
well he's the oldest
known person lightning strike that I'm aware of
I'm not aware of any other like known celebrities
or like known figures that were struck
by lightning my favorite
old person celebrity is Ben Franklin
oh he's not my favorite
I don't have real
I don't know a lot about the man outside of the key and electricity and all that, but
I was just curious if like, oh, well, he lived the rest of his life without getting shocked
again must not happen twice.
Where did that come from?
Where did lightning, does it strike twice?
Like, there must have been something they referenced.
Did nobody just know anyone that got struck by lightning twice?
Someone must have got struck.
So I'm just checking.
So is this an episode or no?
It's a question that I was thinking of.
I was just giving me an example of one you.
when I initially heard this idea of what questions I would put out there.
That's one you had, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, these have to be, I think, a little bit more pointed or more directed.
So we need to, I think we just need a better name for it.
I think that's it.
It sounds like two different shows.
Right.
What Andrew's talking about is a different thing, and that's why he needed clarification.
I get it now.
Gavin, do you get it now?
Yeah, I just really want to play Andrew's version of Andrew's list.
Okay, I'm sending a.
Now, Gavin, you got homework. Who is the first famous person that get shocked by lightning?
But he wasn't old when he got struck by lightning, was he?
No, it wasn't about him being old. It was about the fact that so much time has passed since then.
Oh, so someone from the past is old. Yes. I mean, in the, and like, if you look at the existence
of the world linearly, he's the first celebrity that I'm aware of that was struck by lightning.
So, like, Jesus was old, even though he died in his 30s or whatever?
I guess if you put it in the context of average life expectancy at that time, yeah.
I wasn't thinking that way.
That's true.
I think the average life expectancy was only around 30 back then.
Eric just posted a fantastic suggestion for the game.
We're not currently playing, but.
Yes, the other game that we were talking about, I want to call it Regulation Spy.
I think that's great.
Okay.
Great name.
Cool.
I love it.
Okay.
Calling Ben Franklin famous is like blowing my mind.
I don't know why.
He's pretty gay to you.
He's very famous.
It's just.
The other fuckers in an assassin's creed.
Like, you keep going to like, the oldest celebrity.
And it's like really spinning my head up.
Like, I don't get.
I guess I just never considered him a celebrity, but I suppose he is.
I mean, it's a sleb.
That was probably gossip about him.
If TMZ was back then, he'd be all over it.
Him and Einstein, fucking crazy.
Need the Ben Franklin blind items.
Okay.
So Regulation Spy, locked in.
We're good.
I think that's a thumbs up.
Okay.
The next one is, this is my personal favorite out of all of them.
I think I know what it is. I'm getting ready.
It might be quick, but it's going to be good.
It is the, what number am I thinking of draft?
I voted.
I think of a number.
And then you have, we'd snake draft.
You try to guess what number I'm thinking of.
So we have a six, we have what?
A 20 in infinite chance of getting this right.
A 20 out of infinity.
Somebody will get closest.
Will they?
Yeah, of course.
Everybody's got five chances.
Meg heard this idea on the boat
and just thought it was the dumbest thing
she's ever heard.
And then she suggested a follow-up draft called
What?
Drafting anything?
I really like the idea.
I don't know if it needs to be a draft.
What number?
am I thinking of Tram.
But I think it's really, I think, I think a tournament would be fun.
Okay.
I could be, I can be into that.
Well, do you, do we have a range, Jeff, of what you're thinking as far as the number goes?
Somewhere between one and infinity.
Yeah, I think it's got to be, yeah, I think it has to be positive numbers all, like, all are
on the table.
Every number.
But I don't think that high.
So, you know, you know, I'm not going in the millions.
I'm probably going to be somewhere in the thousands.
Wait, you're going to set a ceiling of infinity and not hit up the millions.
Yeah, it's too much to keep up with.
I'm a simple man.
I think there's a great, um, just because I have a, just because I like a high ceiling doesn't
mean I want to touch it.
That's fair.
Sometimes you just want to look.
I think that this should reverse in a way where it also becomes a burden to Jeff.
I think we all need to be burdened by this.
That's why I like the idea of, I love this is a burden to me, Andrew, but.
I don't want a scenario where anybody kind of wins.
We're doing that thing, and I assume we're going to put a cap on how long it can go,
but we're doing the Mile High Club.
You can't leave until you complete it, but I assume that it's going to be like, well,
you know, within five hours or whatever, it's just you lose.
Wait, whoa, whoa, why five hours?
He's throwing, he's just throwing a number out.
It'll be a number we determine.
I just assume that there will be a cap that, like, you, you, there is an end to this,
even if you can't beat it.
I think the end is that you end the level.
Well, yeah, but I think that there's a huge advantage
for some of us that it's not all shared.
Like, I think it's unfair to Eric and Nick
who have never tried it.
I've done it two or three times.
You and Jeff have both done it.
Nick's still good.
Nick and Eric are great at games.
It's just I feel, I don't know,
bad having a not like end point for them
if they can't complete it.
But what if they're like 30 hours in?
that's a that's that's a funny face yeah but they're not going to be dad that just becomes a mr
beast video at that point nick as kids eric is not going to be playing call duty for 30 hours to
try to beat it like there will be a natural breaking point for these people so i think it's better
instead of having them have to quit just have an end and say hey this will end after like we're
up against the clock like we have to do it in a certain time but anyone else can leave whenever
they're done. It's just it creates a scenario in which it's not solely on the person and is like
it isn't understood. You're spending a ridiculous amount of time. Now, maybe you can make the
argument that they have to go back and try again, that they can't leave it, but like there's
sessions essentially. So let's say Nick doesn't beat it within six hours. Then he stops and then we
pick it up another time and it's just Nick and he has to do it again. He has six more hours to do
it and he can't get out of that cycle.
What if the show is called clock out, but you have to clock in for 10-hour shifts before you clock out?
10-hour shifts.
I mean, what?
What's the normal workday length?
Eight.
Eight working hours, yeah.
Why is it?
Hey, why is that?
Why is that unregulation takes wants to take out CEOs is now demanding everyone has a 10-hour workday?
I didn't know anything.
I used to work
Yeah, I guess
Like waitros and film sets were much longer than that
Yeah, film sets are way longer than that, absolutely
But eight is I think the traditional
I think eight hours is fair with a lunch
You could take a lunch
You did 11 hours at a grocery store?
Yeah, but one hour was lunch
But it'd be 10 paid
Yeah, that was bullshit. Why did I do that?
I don't know, you're the one who just gave it to us
I just thought that was the standard length
of a lockdown
I think maybe like manual labor
I think if we were like day labor guys
we might do 10
I'll do 10
contract yeah I would do 10 I could do 10
I could do 10 right now
here's the tip is ready to clock in front of us that are
all feeling good about 10 also
are 100% confident we're not spending
10 hours doing it no yeah
you're definitely not going the full 10
oh I don't feel very confident in my abilities
whatsoever I thought that was a nightmare
that I drug myself along and I was way
younger and had better hand-eye coordination than
yeah I was in my 20s and it took forever
let's lock in an hour then
right now I'm happy with whatever you guys
want to say I just think this
this new mature Andrew is
coming out of nowhere and I love it
he's like putting an end on the bit
I love this oh we just we need
it just is like it needs to have an end
and then this will circle back into the number
thing but let's just walk in the
hour length for the smile high club video
that we're going to do how many hours
let's split the difference I'll say nine
What about nine and one is lunch?
Nine and one is lunch, I think.
Yeah, nine and one is lunch is good.
We can I'll go to Carl's Jr.
Eat some famous stars and come back for whatever.
I got to go get some mountain dew in me.
I need that fuel.
I can get over the edge.
That's what it was working at Target.
So nine hours instead of,
and one hour for lunch.
What if we do,
we put,
Jeff,
your pick a number thing in that format as well.
And you have a number and we have to try to get it
within that and it's not until until it said we can't stop who is going to listen who will listen
to this who will listen to just four men guessing numbers uh i think uh i think the longer it gets
the more interesting it becomes oh my yeah we'll live stream this this is a good one i don't
think anyone will be like i listen to all nine hours but i think most people will be like well this
went for nine hours i got to see what's going on what jeff just said what jeff just said what jeff just said
I'm into.
If we live stream it instead of recording it has lower stakes to me where that's way
less interesting to do it as a recorded thing.
If we live stream it, that's crazy and I love it.
Well, then that sort of leads to my second question, but it becomes a little bit complicated
with gameplay, I guess, multiple perspectives.
Are all of these streamed things that we do?
Nine hours?
I mean, if we can get our live switched stream or like split screen set up.
Yeah.
I think it should certainly be something
to aspire to. I think it theoretically
gets easier as people have to drop out
but I know if we have switchers
that would have to be a thing that
like Nick operates or something that could be distracting
and unfair. Who I could
get somebody else to come in
and punch it, I bet. Like I got a buddy who'd come and do
it. He doesn't care. Okay. Well as long as we
have somebody that can do that. My friend Robby'll hit buttons, monkey
style. He's good shit.
I mean a split screen would also work
if we did like a 4K stream or something.
Sure, but it's going to be five perspectives.
you think that would fit well?
Like, what does that?
You'll be done, you'll be done within like seven minutes
and then it'll be, you know, I'm gonna,
Andrew's gonna have it in 30 minutes.
Gavin will do it in two and a half hours.
I'll do it in six and a half hours
and I have no idea about the other two.
Okay, so we're gonna call,
let me just get this one down.
What number am I thinking of live stream?
We're saying green light, let's do it.
Yeah.
Yes.
Okay.
That is, what number am I thinking of live stream?
And then the description is,
guess the number?
number. That's it. That's the whole thing. I think it's going to be so funny if let's say we spend
an hour doing this and then somebody says like 72 and the chat just goes, you've said that
six times. Oh yeah. He's already said 72 six times. It's not 72. I've already started looking at
or trying to find like a big number sheet that we can like tick off the numbers. So like visually
like there's something that we can like look at so you can scroll through. You know what I mean? Like
Yeah.
You have to, just a shared list that we can all, like, scroll to and eliminate or whatever.
So I'm into that.
How, Nick, how hard do you think it would be to get us multi-stream ready in this office?
Is that like, is that out of your wheelhouse?
That's not quite what I've done before, but I'll bet you I could figure it out.
It's a little bit.
A while.
It's going to take a little bit.
that's okay
I'm fine with it too
I don't want to put it on you
you were just the guy
that I leaned on there
if you know anybody
that you would feel
comfortable contracting
to come in
and help us set it up Nick
would be
I think we'd all be
happy to that
okay great
what if we put
Shane or Limblad
what if we got
splitters
HDMI spliters
right
and coming out of our
capture devices
we would split to our
monitor
and split one off
to Nick
who has like a quad
capture card
or something.
Yeah, it would be this other computer over here.
Yeah, that's all a doable thing.
I don't know how to do it.
And so, like, that what you just said makes me go, hell yeah, I have no idea.
I've never done that.
We could also theoretically use V-Mix again for it.
Yeah, because we need to, like, live-stream it or whatever.
So, like, we...
And then we could just program it to, like, a stream deck or something to live-switch.
Gavin was less into that idea.
No, no, I just...
I just...
I just heard V-Mix.
and I just got, it's like when you hear Animal Crossing,
I just think of COVID and I'm just like,
ugh, yucky time.
A lot of Vemex.
If what you're talking about is a doable thing, Gavin,
then yeah, let's just, you know, then we can do it.
I just did, I don't know that that's a doable, like.
I'm going to throw something out.
Adam might be allowed us too.
I have no idea how any of this works.
So I'm just throwing it out,
complete ignorance.
If we all shared our gameplay to Discord,
and there was sources for it,
and the same way that I did with,
mafia. Would there be a way to just easily toggle between like the sources and OBS of whose
videos playing? You'd have to manually switch it in Discord, I think. Yeah, and we're looking at a lower
resolution for five instead of a lower resolution likely for one. Sure. Yeah. Okay. So whenever we
we tried and do that, we'll have our audio is all on top of everything. That's true too. Yeah.
The upside to the V-Mix thing is we can still all do our own individual audio and then we'd also be able to
all five of us would be able to
stream our video
and then we just have a sync point for it
so that we're all in sync.
So it would just be a matter of figuring out
how to set that up on that computer.
Yeah, we can talk to a couple people
we used to work with and see if it's something we can do.
That is just so everyone listening to this
is aware of, that is just outside
of our wheelhouse of what we know how to do.
So maybe we do the numbers as the first one
and then call a duty after that.
Sure.
Can I, can I just, on the record, just thumbs down the numbers thing?
Yeah, yeah.
Absolutely.
I've also given a thumbs down to the numbers thing.
Oh, I'm a thumbs.
So that's two.
And everyone else's thumbsing up?
Yeah, I think we're all thumbs up.
Okay.
Yeah, why not?
Okay, there you go.
I mean, Gavin, I'm with you.
Absolutely.
Thumbs down.
I put it in the chat as soon as he started talking about it.
You said you liked it as soon as I introduced the live stream element.
Yeah.
It makes me on board with it and makes,
it worth our time probably.
That sounds like that sounds like that sounds like no that's definitely not a thumbs
up towards no.
If you were to ask me thumbs up, thumbs down on it, I'd still be thumbs down.
Wow.
If Eric's thumbs down, I'm thumbs up.
There you go.
There we go.
You got four against one.
All right.
What's the next one, Jeff?
Next one I have written down is this would be, require us all to be in the same room or at least
have webcams.
This is the I spy draft.
I can't remember.
I can't remember whose idea that was,
but I don't think it was mine.
I spy.
Kevin gave it a thumbs up.
I spy with my little eye,
something red.
And then I spy.
I mean,
this is just the same idea
as the numbers thing,
essentially, right?
I think it was built off of the idea.
I think it probably was.
I think we just said,
that's a terrible idea.
And I spy was pitched.
Yeah.
Except I,
I think it was,
yeah,
the idea is bad.
The idea is bad.
And then somebody,
else went, yeah, you think that's a bad idea?
Check this one out.
I think that's just sort of how it went.
I feel like it might have been Meg's idea, but I'm not 100% sure.
I don't know if we'd be comfortable with this.
But maybe it's an office, maybe it's a can't, like an in-office cam is the perspective
that you're pulling the eye spy from.
And maybe it's a stream and maybe it's the audience that has to figure out what we're spying.
Maybe they're the ones making guesses.
You're just going to see, you're going to see words fly on the screen like you've never seen before.
Oh, I love it.
Let's put a pin in that.
I don't know if there is a way to do it, but there might be a way to, like, in Twitch, have a certain word be, like, toggleable.
So if somebody puts it in, it, like, highlights.
Like, instead of a band word, it's like a the word.
Yeah, or maybe we make the word band or, I don't know.
There's probably something you can do in the back end to make it so, like, it is a noticeable.
event if somebody types in what the correct spy item is.
So it's us at the office with a with a camera that is like wide showing like the whole space
and then say Gavin goes, okay, I spy with my little eyes, something that's green.
And then we're all giving the chat time to guess at whatever could be in that room that
they can see that's green, and then they're helping us guess?
Is that how you play it with colors?
I mean, yeah, I think so.
Is that not how you play?
Typically, it's colors.
Oh.
It could be colors.
You could be like something small or, you know, I've just, never.
I've only ever played something beginning with the letter.
Oh, I mean, these are all, these are all valid things that you could do.
Just not what I think of when I think of Ice Spy.
Or like something round or something, yeah.
So, we usually start with color in my family, though.
So we want to try, I spy.
Let's investigate I spy with the community, like with the Falcons or something.
Office video.
What if we did?
Instead of Twitch plays Pokemon, it could be Twitch controls Andrew, and we play hide-and-seek.
if that's a doable thing
I think it's a good idea
I don't know how that would work with the
Dilbot
You just have to read chat
and go where they want
Oh okay
I thought you meant
Give them controls of Gilbot
That's totally funny
That sounds way too hard for us
To figure out
Yeah absolutely
That sounds like
I don't know
With chat
And we're hidden
In different places
around the office
Okay
I think that's a fun thing
Circling back on the
I spy idea
Maybe it's something
where
like they have an hour to figure out all of our stuff and if they get it right then we have to
stay there for like seven hours or eight or whatever the time is maybe it's like a win lose
like they are if they get all of the thing like we all pick an item that is within the frame
of the thing right so we all have our thing if they get all of ours then we're stuck there
for the remainder of that that work shift or whatever and what we do in that endurance i don't know
we're just stuck
we're stuck there
if they fail
it gives them a win-lose scenario
if they fail at finding
or five things
then the stream's over in an hour
I mean I like the idea
of some high stakes
just throwing it out there
I mean we can thumbs down
on that idea
that's the point of this
I'm just trying to think of stakes
I think there's something
here
I think we just maybe
need to cook on it a little bit longer
what if they win
we have to spin the wheel of fick
what's the wheel of fuck
that was
Like the tough video game tasks
That's why I'm playing limbo
Oh, right
You should probably do the
I think you should probably beat limbo first
Yeah, when are you gonna do that?
Yeah, I think if they find all over stuff
You have to start playing limbo
Every time I bring up the wheel of fuck
Yeah, I just don't know why you keep doing it
Well, you could just be quiet
You just need to beat limbo
And then you can bring it up in it
Andrew's wheel of fuck looks suspiciously like a boomerang
Do you want me to yellow light that one then?
Yeah, yellow light it.
Got it, yellow light.
It's a piss light, yeah.
What about chat bot?
Chatbot, Jesus Christ.
Chat controls, uh, hide and seek dilbot.
I think that's fun.
I think that could be like a supplemental type video.
Yeah, we agree.
Okay.
Green light, got it.
Moving on to the next.
Because we still got to get through these fucking things.
And we're, oh my God, already 30 minutes.
Uh, this one, all right, this one was a little convolut.
There's 50 slots in this one, okay?
We each maintain control of 10 slots.
It's a big mega food draft.
We then, everybody drafts 10 meals into those 50 slots.
Those 50 slots correspond to 50 Sundays throughout the year with Christmas and Thanksgiving
off, and then we all have to eat that food on that Sunday for an entire year.
Can I?
The Sunday Supper Club.
I love the idea so much.
I had a similar type thing,
and I don't know if you guys will be able to solve the problem I had with this premise.
I wanted to do a thing before where everybody would submit a bunch of foods that they like
into something that could automated message us.
But we have no idea when it will message or what it will message.
It just has a list of foods that it can pull from.
And if you, whenever it goes out, you have to get that food that day, no matter what's going on.
So it could, in the middle of a Wednesday at 11 a.m., it could just say eggs.
Yes. And then you have to go get eggs that day. You have to eat an egg dish that day.
I think that's a great idea on its own. But if we were to combine these ideas, I would think it would be, we pick the 50 meals, it goes into a random thing. We hit the button every Monday and it tells us what we're all going to have.
have to eat on Sunday. And so we can't know more than a week in advance.
So we have a week to get in all the ingredients?
Yeah. And figure out how we're going to, yeah.
Or like figure out where to go. Or figure out where to go to eat it. Yeah.
A year's a shitload of time.
It's a shitload of time. It lasts forever. It also forces, I think it gets funny when
you're on vacation. And you're like, how the fuck do I find a beef Wellington in Thailand?
I don't, uh, you know.
Maybe could we, could we do a trial run?
where it's like
we do like food February or something
and it's every Sunday of February
how about eat tober
eat tober's good
I like eat tober
so for the month of October
we uh we throw
everybody puts one into the random
number or the random food generator
we'll have five so one won't get used
probably and then are they
are there four Sundays in October
I'm assuming what's the next month with five
Sundays? Well I think we
do we could do a
four
a four Sunday month
but then spin the wheel of
and see who gets fucked and doesn't get to pick a meal
November's the next
or we could do November's the next five Sunday
I do think it's funny if one of us doesn't have
any say in their Sunday meal
for a whole month
I do you think that's great
I mean November's coming up there
yeah November's tough though because it's also the holiday
so you're going to be dealing with like Thanksgiving dinner and stuff
I think I think food tober's the way
and just one of us, we spin a wheel and whoever lands on doesn't get to make a pick for that
month. I think you're right about that. Yeah, eat tober. Let's do it. Eat tober.
Okay. What am I writing down? You went in, like, I get the concept. I'm making everyone
restate what the concept is. So that way we're all on the same page and I'm writing the thing down
that we can refer back to. So you just want us to restate the concept to you? Correct. So I can
write it down so that way when we go, what the fuck was
I'm on top of it. I'm on top of it. Okay, all right. So at some point
in the month of August or September,
we are going to have a supplemental
video where we sit down and we each
submit a meal. The five of us submit a Sunday
meal. One, two, three, four, five.
It's a one round draft or one round supplemental. Then
we determine via wheel, one of us
sitting out, or we just pull, we spend them
all on the wheel and whichever one,
we pull them off as they get selected,
and then we build out the October
Sunday meal list.
And then we adhere to it.
Love it. Right?
Yeah.
Yep. Perfect.
Perfect.
Eat tober.
At some point in August or September,
we're going to have a supplemental video
where we all submit a Sunday meal.
We determined via the wheel that someone sits out.
We adhere to the Sunday October meal list.
Yes.
What meal of the day is it, or can it be any?
I think it can be any.
Yeah.
I like that.
I already have my meal, which means I'm going to be able to pick one.
That's how the universe works.
Okay, Eatober as a trial run, at least, is on the board.
So we got it.
Okay.
Moving on.
Oh, this one is already on the books.
It's the top 20 and the order of the draft is the ranking.
We're recording this on Friday.
Yeah, I was going to say when this comes out, we'll actually be recording that.
We're probably recording it now if you're listening to this.
Yeah, unless you're listening to it later, then we already did it.
How'd we do?
Do you want to explain it, Jeff?
Yeah, so the idea is it's a draft with 20 slots like our normal drafts have,
snake draft style.
We each get to pick five items, or four items, I'm sorry.
And, no, is it five items?
How many items do we pick?
Four.
Boy.
Four. Yeah, we each pick four items. Sorry. And what we're picking for, we're populating the 20 greatest video games of all time, numbered one to 20. Number one being the greatest video game of all time. Number 20 being the 20th greatest video game of all time. However, where you end up randomly in the draft determines where on that list you pick. So if I end up picking third on the draft list, I am drafting the third best video game of all time. There is no discussion or debate.
is my slot to fill.
So you might disagree vehemently
with me putting Viva Penaata
Trouble in Paradise as the third
best video game of all time.
But it doesn't fucking matter
because it's my slot.
And through that process,
we will determine
the 20 best video games
of all time
ranked in an order
that will make zero people
on the planet Earth happy.
So you're not going to be
considerate of the list.
You're just going to put
whatever you feel like
in your slot?
I'm going to be honest
to the truth of me.
Because I really like
Halo 1,
but I couldn't put that
as number one.
Well, then don't.
Well, I know.
Actually, I had, in the process of this list, I had this thought, and I came to the conclusion
that if you were going to play any Halo game right now, Halo Infinite's the best Halo
game.
I think if you're deeming what the best one is, it's Halo Infant.
But most people would not say because you factoring in Impact and the time in which
was released.
But if you're evaluating it purely on what is the most entertaining Halo game to play right
now, it is infinite.
And if that's your best video game of all time, Gavin, go ahead and put Halo Infinite as number
one, if that's the slot you pull.
Would you rather play Infinite than Halo 3?
Yes.
Halo 3 is so slow.
I didn't feel that way at the time Halo 3 came out, but to go back to Halo 3 now, it is such a sluggish game.
Oh, I don't think it's that bad.
Oh, it's so bad.
In my opinion, obviously.
I'm not, you know, I'm glad you like it.
And these are the kind of disagreements you can expect when you watch the 20 greatest video games of all time as ranked draft.
It's going to be phenomenal.
I can't wait.
I can't wait.
I already have thoughts of other content that can jump off of that, which I'm excited to see play out.
Yeah, the format works for anything that you can rank.
Yeah, I meant like even outside of that format that there are content ideas that could spring from this.
Oh, yeah.
The format works even outside of that.
of the format. It's the best.
I have an idea of a game
that Gavin might pick, and
I don't think I've ever played
that game, so it could be a thing of like, I
think you're crazy. Let's play
this game. Is it odd world,
Gabe's Odyssey?
It is a
Game's Odyssey.
Games Odyssey. Games
Odyssey.
I would bet that
Gav would put that in his top 20.
I'm right there with you, buddy.
I knew instantly what game it was
the second you said. Oh, there's Gabe,
there's the gligs, there's Glock, the Gluckin.
That is not what I was thinking, but you're totally right
and it still applies.
I never played any of those games.
Oh, I love, I love Abe.
Oh, Christ.
Oh, Christ.
That's gonna be fun.
I'm so excited to do more.
I've already made a list of movies, TV shows, and games.
I'm very excited about the idea.
I only have one more on my list
but I'd like to hear if Eric has any others
because I know we were keeping independent lists that day
and I feel like I might have forgotten one or two
so he might have been able to fill in
if I did forget something
but the last thing on my list from that day
is the song is a location draft
which I don't think the name does it justice
basically it is a draft of songs
where the title of the song
is a location like Detroit
Rock City or Galveston
Oh it has to be in the title
no, in the lyrics.
In the title, yeah.
In the title.
Oh, shit.
Yeah, I think it's a great one.
New York, New York.
I left my heart in San Francisco, et cetera, et cetera.
Garden Grove by Sublime.
Yeah.
I got my number one pick already.
I'm locked in.
Wow.
I think it's a fun draft.
I think that's an easy one.
No brainer.
That's an easy, yep.
Yeah.
Eric, was there anything else from that day?
Looking at some of the other stuff that we've left on the board,
that we talked about
but haven't gotten
circled back around to here
Gavin's 2025 threat
my what?
This is why I ask you guys
to repeat a description sometimes
you made a threat
I don't remember what caused it
but you're like
this is a threat
something's gonna happen
and
that was it
I vaguely remember that
You dropped the threat down and then we're like, what are you going to do?
And you're like, oh, no.
And it was very clear that you didn't know what you were going to do.
You just said it.
So I never announced the threat.
No, no, you announced that there was a threat.
I think it was towards Nick.
I feel like it was a threat towards Nick, but I don't remember clearly.
But I do remember I went like, am I putting this on like in like the idea bank?
And I think Jeff said yes.
It was towards everyone except me initially.
And then he added me.
I feel like everyone remembers this better than I do.
You better go back and listen to some old podcast.
And it was on the podcast?
I don't think it was on a podcast.
It was, no, I think it was like the end of an episode.
You've got to settle with this.
You've got to figure out what it is.
It was, I don't think it was a between recording thing.
And I think it was you, you just like, it was so unlike you.
You're like, mm, get ready for a threat.
Something's going to happen.
Oh, man, I wish I remembered that.
Shit, that sounds good.
Yeah.
So that's one idea.
Another one that we had that we haven't gotten back around to.
And it's something that I wonder if we want to talk about here.
If not, cut this out, whatever.
3D ultra mini golf marathon stream.
We talked about doing some streaming stuff, trying to figure out like what else we can do on Twitch.
And we've had a lot of conversations about like where it can live and what we can do and whatever.
And something that was brought up was a 3D ultra mini golf marathon stream where like one hole is however many subs or
something like that. So I wonder if that's something that we still want to explore. It doesn't
have to be now that we have to explore it, but something that we can talk about if that's
something we want to explore in streaming in general. Yeah. I think that's fun. I think that would
be a great like yearly event type thing, like how there is like the PGA Open or whatever,
like their specific doing like a yearly golf tournament, I think is fun. Have you ever played in your
childhood like during summer break or anything? Did you ever play like Rummy 500 with your friends or
like, I don't know, a sibling or Rummy 1,000,
where you would keep score over a series of maybe 20 hands of Rummy
and it could take days, but you'd keep coming back to it.
No.
I used to do that with when I was a kid a lot.
I played a lot of Rummy, and so we'd play like Rummy 1,000.
And, you know, you get like 60 points in a round,
but you'd keep the score and you'd always come back and it'd be like,
where are we at today?
And it'd be like, it's 350 to 268.
And you'd be like, oh, we'll get the 500 for you.
And, but, you know, one game of Rummy could last like two weeks.
through your summer, like if I was hanging out.
What if we do golf forever and we just have to
permanently keep score of our golf haulage
across all games forever?
Yeah, I think that's what I think is what Jeff's driving at.
I do like that idea.
100% what I'm driving at is what if there's a master golf score
that we're keeping up with that matters
and that we track somewhere and any time we play golf it,
golf with friends, 3D Ultra Mini Golf, whatever,
it, that it gets entered into the overall master score.
I like it.
I love it.
Like, call it like mini golf major, like something like that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's a great idea.
Is it a thing where like, it's a grand tour idea,
and we have to compile all the golf games ahead of time
and we make sure we hit all of them?
And then maybe there's like a,
the masters, I guess, at the end of the year that we compete in.
I like that a lot.
it or whatever.
I just want to make sure we hit
because I don't think
we have a natural enough
golf cadence necessarily.
Yeah.
Not at all.
The scale that I'd want.
So I think we should probably
compile a bunch of golf games
we could play.
I'm looking up right now in the store.
I know they just released
a collection of all the golden tea games.
I did see that.
I did see that online.
Going to a bar?
Jesus Christ.
No,
on Xbox.
You can play golden tea on Xbox now.
It's like eight.
Well,
they put together like eight golden tea games,
including like the bowling one they
did uh golden tea arcade classics does this have online multiplayer that's crazy i guess what he
doesn't even need to be online we can just all play simultaneously yeah theoretically uh yeah it's just
local it's local multiplayer so you guys can play two to four that's crazy should we do it where once a
year we look at the who's the top and who's at the bottom and there's like a prize for the
winner and a penalty for the loser yeah green jacket for the winner for sure and then the loser boots for the
loser.
Maybe we have to all get, maybe we just go get lunch at a golf course.
Green jacket, red boots.
Maybe is it, we could do a golden tea tournament because there's enough games and whoever
wins gets a golden tea.
Maybe it can be a face-off thing.
And Joel, Golden T3Golf, Golden T-97, Golden T-98, Golden T-99, Golden T-2K,
and Golden T-K, and Golden T-C, and Golden T- Classic.
Wow.
Wow.
In addition to all the other golf games on Earth.
I do think there's something here to us doing a golf tournament.
I love the idea of green jacket, red boots.
I love the idea of a master golf score.
I love the idea of it all working together towards some greater goal.
I think that we can, this is another one that we can put a little bit of time crafting.
And I think it could be something really big.
And over, I like these overarching ideas that last for a year or more, potentially.
And so I think that we should really put some time into making sure.
sure that this would get in the most out of this,
because this is a fucking great idea.
I really like the idea of eventually having
a website where people can just check
the current stats on something.
Yeah. And that would be a great one for it,
along with hamburgers and other stuff
that we got going.

What a run! This champ is picking up speed! But they found a lane.
Phenomenal launch into the air! Absolutely incredible! Air Trans-E! Fly the seven-time
world's best leisure airline champions air transit um okay so i think that's a good idea uh bird not bird
draft was another one great great idea love uh things that are birds but not birds and then uh
whole loaf of bread sandwich that's just yeah yeah so those are things that we talked about
recently that we need to revisit and think of um i have an idea that i wanted to kick around a little bit
and just kind of see what you guys think.
And kind of what the audience thinks also,
but I'm more curious about just sort of like your feelings on it.
I brought it up to Jeff, I think, like the other day.
And so I felt like the sausage shock was a good environment for it,
where I listened to a podcast called Threatom
that has a new episode every week.
And something they started doing probably like a year or two ago
is they have a thing on their RSS feed,
the regular RSS feed that they just title three visiting and it just they just put up an old
episode they don't do anything to it they don't like hey hey here we are presenting this thing it is
just a re-upload of that old episode and i find myself listening to every single one of those old
episodes is that something that we maybe want to try because i feel like a lot of people go back
and, like, re-listen to this podcast, and I wonder if putting up old f*** face episodes
doesn't even have to be, it could be an order, it could be ones that we just want to put out
or whatever, the same RSS feed.
So if our episode comes out Wednesday, maybe it's a Friday thing where it just, where, you know,
an old f***ase episode goes out on Friday or Sunday or something like that.
So we have like a syndicate, syndication slot?
Yeah, essentially it's just an old episode of F*** Face because there's a lot, if you wanted to go back and listen to 66, like episode 66 of F***ase, like the old show, you got to scroll for like a really long time.
And I'm not saying this solves that problem, but I am saying that I think it's a fun way to reintroduce a back catalog that is a lot of fun to listen to that I never would go back and listen to this podcast if they didn't present it to me and I listen to every single one.
I just worry about that being annoying for people who are listening
and they want one episode to end and the next episode to play
but suddenly it's jumped back four years.
I don't consume stuff like that so I'd never occurred to me
that that's the way that people listen to this stuff
but I don't know I just wanted to get your guys's opinion
on this thing.
I love the idea of highlighting old content in that way.
I think it's a really cool idea.
I am my only concern would be the war of the worlds of it where I would hate for people to get
confused if they weren't if they didn't understand what was going on and suddenly like lose themselves
and it's we're talking about 22 stuff and they're like they feel like disconnected from the
podcast for a second I would hate for that to happen but if it was clearly messaged I I don't
think I have an issue with it I'd love to hear the audiences feedback on this one which is
you know part of why we do these sausage talks to pull them directly as well because I do
think some way to highlight the older episodes, especially the first, like, 60 or so, which
aren't on, I guess they are on YouTube now because of the compilations we've been doing.
But, yeah, they were a little less easy to find, I guess.
I think we have a mechanism that makes a lot of sense to do this easily, and maybe we
could do something fun with it where we have a time machine. Maybe somebody is going back
through time and ending up in these episodes, and that is at the beginning of all of these
old episodes that are being brought forward is a little time machine's sake.
machine skip and maybe there's a little bit of like an overarching thing with that i do like that yeah i like
the time machine i like regulation syndication yeah so like i so i just dropped a uh an image of like
what it looks like in their rsss feed that makes sense to me where it's here's three visiting so you know
it's an old one and then it again here's the new one and then the old one and then the new one
i understand what you're saying about confusion i've never once been confused list i go back
and listen to all of these,
like they just put a new one out
and I just put it,
I listened to it again.
I've never once been confused.
You're just so smart though.
Yeah, yeah, you know me.
Big brain over here.
I just,
I think that it's so much fun
to listen to like the old ones
and not even a way like,
oh my God,
can you believe they said that back then?
It's just like it's more of the thing
that I like in a way
that I wouldn't have revisited
in any other way, shape, or form.
I think it'd be really fun to do
as like a four episode,
maybe test,
see, like, how the audience reacts to it and do a time machine thing.
Do you sort of an eat tober type thing with it, test it out?
Yeah, do a trial.
Yeah, I like that idea.
Because it's one of those things where, like, if the audience likes it more than the audience hates it, we should do it.
Right?
Absolutely.
And I don't think it's, would it be that hard to do like a two-minute time machine edition
before those recordings take, but played before the episode for the upload?
Speaking for Nick and Eric, I'd say, no, it's not a hard at all.
Two minutes is pretty long.
They can do it.
They're talented.
Would it be the same thing for every two?
No, I think each one has a different thing.
Oh, okay.
I think there is a narrative of the time machine
and like you keep whoever
can be different people, different parts, but...
And maybe we could like do summaries
of what we talk about on that one or something?
It doesn't even necessarily need to be summaries.
It could just be a ridiculous thing.
What would we be talking about?
Just saying that it's old.
You could be like attention regulation listeners.
It's all about buddy, Jeff,
and I'm surfing the slipstream.
today and I've wound up on the release date of October 3rd, 2021 and Reface Episode 67 and
I can't stay, but I'm going to leave it here for you. Enjoy this. Look into the past.
I just think it's, I think adding something to the beginning is just like, it's overthinking
what can be a very easy, like, I think the show is overthinking.
It's a very easy, like, lever to pull or whatever. And I just, I don't want to add anything.
to like Nick's plate
that needs to be more difficult
but if you guys are into it
and you want to try it
that's fine I want to know what the audience thinks
like I know there are a lot of people
who go back and like listen to this stuff
and I don't again
I don't want to confuse the audience
with something that's coming out
on the same RSS feed or whatever
this is just the thing that I've enjoyed
from a podcast that I listened to
that I wanted to bring here
and see if there was any interest in doing it
I'm fine if you guys want to record something
because if we want to record something
for like the beginning
and give it a shot
I'm totally into that
I'm definitely interested in this idea
I thought it was a great idea when you brought it up and I still think it's a great idea.
It is interesting.
I think looking at the feed too, we have a lot of episodes that go back to back sometimes
where we don't have weeks where we have supplemental content that has an audio component
to it.
But when we have a lot of those in a row, like for instance this past week for when we put this
out, we had regulation takes and the interview with Sheen.
And those were back to back as supplementals plus an episode and then you get one of these
in between that can add a lot of things into the feed.
So that would be my only concern with key.
keeping it clean like a consistent kind of clean yeah exactly we're already i mean clearly we're
already not keeping it clean no but i mean even even adding that then there's just one more
additional thing it might be easier to denote with like a piece of artwork or something to go with
like meta audience you got to let us know this is one of those times where we definitely want to
hear from you and want to hear your take on it yeah i'm interested in what they say i also
is it uh is it like a thing that's good at some points but maybe if something changes with
the system, it's bad.
Like, if everyone was skipping these,
does it affect discoverability?
Or is it, is there no, like,
I don't know.
That's an interesting question.
I hadn't thought about that.
I had the algorithm part of it.
Yeah, I just worry that it's like something
we try now and then two years down the line.
They're like, oh, if you have a lot of people
skip in your episodes, we won't show them to them.
And then it's like, oh, we've screwed ourselves two years ago or something.
But I don't know.
I don't know if there's any system like that in place for podcasts
Spotify or Apple or anything.
Okay, so I mean, we'll leave it to the audience and see what they think about it, but
I'm fine with trying the time machine thing too, like if people are like into it or whatever.
And yeah, we can see if it's something that we want to explore.
I kind of feel like no one way or the other about it other than what I just brought up.
So I'm into doing it or not doing it.
Like if it falls through, then I truly have no hard feelings about it whatsoever.
That's a really cool idea that I would have thought of.
So I'm definitely in doing it.
I think it's fun, personally.
Was there anything else, Eric?
Looking at the list, I don't think so.
There is a one grain of rice cookoff, but I'll leave that to you.
I vote thumbs down, but that's just me personally.
Put it in the barrel.
One grain of rice.
Yeah, put it in the barrel.
Yeah, there you go.
I have such a list over here of stuff for the barrel.
I can't wait to get the barrel going on.
Like smash dogs, Terminal Velocity Drop Burger.
There's so much.
Okay, then I think that's it in terms of ideas or anything like that of what we hadn't talked about or had or hadn't talked about.
Anything else you guys want to cover?
I know we have questions, but anything else you guys want to cover before we get into that.
I've got a thing that I want to bring up right before questions.
I thought it would be a good idea for this sausage talk.
If I picked my favorite comment from the last few episodes or since the last sausage talk,
This was from Patreon, because that's really the only place I look at him,
and someone in response to me asking if there's a hot popsicle, like a soup,
someone responded, and I wish I'd written down the name, but I didn't.
Someone wrote, hotzicle is just suck a dick, bruh.
And to me, that was my favorite recent comment from one of the comment leavers.
Well, right on, man.
Thanks.
That guy, guys, and that's, and that's Gavin's comment moment.
Write in your comments on Patreon
and maybe Gavin will pick one for the next sausage talk.
Comment of the quarter.
Gavin's quarterly comment.
Yep.
Can we get a sausage account for Gavin for this?
One thing we should talk about briefly
because it was a big deal and it just happened
before we get into questions is merchandise.
We just had the Gerpler sale.
And I think by all accounts,
it went swimmingly.
We ordered 10,000 Gerplers.
There was a well-publicized number.
We sold through them in the 12 to 14-hour range, I think,
which feels pretty good in comparison to where we've been in the past, you know.
It'd be nice to have a few on the shelves still for somebody for stragglers,
but basically if you logged into our store on Friday, you got a Gerpler.
And I feel really good about that.
yeah that's great we have begun work on the next gerbler uh look for it to be out in the fall it's
you know think october november somewhere around there i would assume we're you know very
early stages on it it will not be the same gerbler we we tend to to not re uh revisit the same
ideas when we gurp uh in addition to that the patches are going swimmingly i think the next
drop that comes out will be our hat patch
uh combo and then we need to get to work we have a pigeon patch common we need to get to work on
the next three pack that we'll have out soon the audience seems to really like those three packs
so we'll probably increase the numbers of those and we're going to dramatically increase the
quantity of cooslers and i think the coosler will just become a part and parcel with the gurpler
whenever we release a gurpler we'll release a coosler alongside it at least we haven't discussed
that but I get the feeling that's the way things are headed right yeah it makes sense to me yeah
the demand is definitely there um absolutely and are we find sticking with the the number of gurps
like you're happy with 12 hours of sale based on that yeah I am yeah I think that's I think it's a
great number until I see the next gerpler it's hard to say because honestly I bumped the number
in my head up a little bit just based on how cool the cosmic gerbler looked you know and I
I think it's by far the best looking thing
we've ever done. And I'll
just have to see what the next one looks like. But yeah, I think
that number, we could go up a little
bit and see, but, you know.
Yeah.
We'll, I think, get even more
data with the next drop. And I think
every drop has been super
informative in making sure that we can make it the
best experience possible for the audience.
And the frustration in the audience
is trending down with every gurp,
which is great. Yeah. I didn't
see a lot of frustration.
No, I only saw a few of, like, people who were working the whole day.
Or people who were like, I didn't bother looking because I didn't think it'd be available
and now I'm kicking myself. I saw some of those, which suck, but.
Yeah, I'm excited for the next group. It's going to be, uh, from what I've seen pretty great.
Yeah, I think so, too. I think so, too. But it's got some big gherps to gurp, you know?
That previous gurpler was pretty special. It does have some big gurps to gurp. Shall we move into
questions does anyone else have anything that they like to bring up no it's uh let's do it okay let's go
to questions this is immediately my fault jake matthew asks we're the rest of the ratatooie videos
that's what i've been wanting to ratatooie i've been asking to rearrange my desk we're gonna get
on that i have my 360 set up because we did that uh thing and i'm excited
i had to do that i said and then i processed my head that that is not
out yet that pause was me scheduling in my head when does this come out in relation that
that's definitely not out yet we did a 360 thing so I'm ready to go and ratatooie there
will be more ratatooie in your life soon enough Eric's been asking for it I want to do it
I just want to get it done I want to finish I want to finish achievement hunting in that game
next question no use for name what are some projects you're most excited about but are most
worried about at the same time or projects you all have just have to keep pushing due to timing
or scheduling or whatever.
For me,
it's face off season two.
I'm so excited for that.
We just need to get everybody rounded up
for scheduling that.
Summer has been a pretty hectic time
for organizing things.
Are we waiting on anything specifically for that?
It's the fucking boots is what we're waiting on.
We need to have Nick fulfill his punishment
from season one before we can release season two.
And it's just been hard to pay that off.
But the payoff is coming.
We just essentially sketched.
I don't want to give it away, but the payoff is coming.
It's on the calendar.
So I'm right there with you, Andrew.
I've just been desperate to get to face off season two.
There's a lot of hype around it internally within us, and we just want to be able to do it.
So as soon as we can get Nick's sweaty little toes in those shoes, we'll be able to move forward.
Let's do it.
Nick perked up when he said sweaty little toes.
He got all into it.
I know how to talk to him.
next question or I guess do we have any other answers to that sorry I would jump the
gun on that do you guys have ones that you're anticipating or yeah the next thing we do for
the wheel of decades oh that'll be fun I'm really looking forward to it and then uh I'm also not
because of what we landed on the first time not looking forward to what it could potentially could
be yeah I'm excited as well a lot learned a lot that will be very very very very
interesting. One thing
I'm working on is just finalizing
some equipment stuff at the office.
We're trying to move off of the current
setup we have in the couch space.
Oh, that's right. Yeah. So we can do more
couch stuff. Yeah, and that'll enable
us to use the other room as well
for stream purposes. So
we have a few things that we want to get set up
and test it out. It's just
finding the time in between recordings.
Jeff, anything else at the office you've been working on that you
want to tease and say that you're excited to do soon?
Pretty excited about getting back
going on the break room
and the break show.
We should be really close there.
I feel like we're in the 94% tile range
or something in terms of completion.
It really is.
It just looks like a messy, sweaty, gross room.
But once we cast
Prestedititization on it,
it'll be all fun.
Perfect.
The office is in a great spot now
where we've done
four-player gameplay in there
and I just feel like it's a great spot
to just come in and sit down and make stuff now.
I'm there right now.
Prestidigitation.
Fuck me.
Great work, man.
I'm at the office right now.
It's awesome.
Except for that toilet.
Everything else is good.
The shit it don't work.
Yep.
Should it don't work.
Next question from Evan Hub 40.
My question to you all is who do you think among you
would be most able to kick their way
out of a child infested space?
I think Nick.
Oh.
Yeah, I agree.
Although I thought Nick could crawl through that tube faster than Gavin, and Gavin kind of killed it.
But you took an injury in that, didn't you, Gavin?
Nick beat me in that, but I got, I scuffed up all my arms.
Oh, did Nick beat you in my memory?
You beat Nick.
No, Nick smoked him.
Okay, well, then it's Nick all the way, then this is an even really question.
Nick's definitely good.
I got hurt in the first run, and it affected my confidence in the second run.
we got to revisit it then right
a rematch
I'm really nervous that we didn't win Larry King's Keys
yeah well that's not out yet
yeah but the auction is in 20 hours
so no I mean like takes part two
oh that's fine they don't know what we're talking about
of course
are there any yeah Gavin of course
of course it's fine
they still don't know what we're talking about
Next question is from Stee and McKearney.
Are there any upcoming games you guys have planned to play that you can tease?
I have one that people seem really excited about us playing Battlefield 6.
So that is one that I am excited to play with you guys.
I'm not typically a Battlefield guy, but I've heard nothing but good things about this new one.
And it definitely seems like there's a lot of people in the audience that want us to play.
What do you think, Gavin?
We played it this weekend together.
Yeah, I play with Jeff and the Trump Boys, and it was very fun.
Oh, it's awesome.
I'm so glad to hear that.
I never know how like serious FPS is going to translate to entertaining video, you know?
But it is a lot of fun to play and it's a gorgeous game, like absolutely beautiful.
There's also like really just cinematic stuff that happens naturally.
That's interesting.
And there's just like moments where you're like, holy shit, did you see that?
I do felt like I spent the four hours we played going just explaining to the guys what just happened in front of me.
No, you don't understand.
Then the helicopter crashed in front of me,
and the rotor went right over my head.
Right over my head.
I think it'll be a lot of fun to check out
and will be a great video.
Next question from Phoenix Exalt.
Will there ever be more Gwomen Gurplers?
It was such a cool concept.
We've never really talked about that internally.
I have my gut feel on it.
I personally lean towards a no,
but I'd love to hear what you guys say.
I think it was like a really fun idea when we did it and I'm not against doing it again,
but also like I don't feel the need to revisit that idea specifically.
Like, it's cool, but, you know.
I'm right there with Eric.
I liked the idea.
I'm certainly open to creating more of them if the idea warrants it.
But if the idea was just redo the thing we already did a second time,
I don't find that to be particularly appealing.
Yeah.
So there was some sort of a clever way to do it
that made sense absolutely,
but I don't want to just,
I don't want to get into just like reruns
of what we're doing.
Totally.
I think there's a mechanism there
or an idea of like a chase type thing
that's fun.
Chase isn't even necessarily,
but like a variation
is kind of cool
because we typically only do one color of GERP.
That's the only time we've had multi-
Gurp colors release.
So I don't, like, my interest in doing more gold gurpler specifically in the way that we did
it doesn't really exist, but the idea of there being like a twist on a release of a gurpler,
I think is a lot of fun.
And, you know, the idea of there being content around it too.
Like we had those USB drives in those golden gurps, right?
With a special video.
I thought that was, that was the thing that was fun to me about it.
Yeah, was this 10 that went out?
Absolutely.
10 golden cups.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then we, we put the vernon.
on the video, so that way we knew which one shared it.
Yeah, which leaker it was.
I think it was number six that leaked it.
Yep, yep.
I still haven't seen that video.
Oh, it's good.
It's good.
Oh, why not?
I experienced it, but, like, I never watched the posted leak.
Does that just on, like, YouTube?
Can I just find that on YouTube?
I think it's on their YouTube, right?
Yeah, just look at Golden.
I believe that was my first Coke.
Really?
Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Yep. What a moment. Next question. Yeah. By Brian Ford. The interview with Shane was awesome. As of now, are there any plans to have more interviews slash supplemental content similar to that? Or if there aren't plans, would you be open to it? I'd certainly be open to it if it made sense. Like, it's not like a thing. Yeah. If anyone spoke as much regulation as Shaheen, I think it would make total sense.
Absolutely. But it would have to be like they're in the universe. It has to like within our world make sense. I'm not.
like we're not in the same way that we're always open to doing drafts
i don't think there's any interest in regularly doing interviews in any capacity
it was awesome and such a just a lightning in a bottle
thing that shaheen who happened to work with us on the higher judge dot com thing
was on survivor which is a show that we're all mostly really big fans of like that was
just like that was an amazing amount of kismet that you just don't expect
But we didn't interview him because of Survivor.
We interviewed him because of the pencil judge thing.
Yes.
And the Survivor thing was just like this wild, happy accident
that put them in front of us in a public way
that kind of made all set the wheels in motion.
But I think that the thing about it is, though,
is that it was the connection to the show
that we wanted to explore.
And so there just aren't going to be a lot of people
that are going to have a connection to our show in that way.
Yeah, I mean, he's already been heard speaking on the
main show. So it makes
that makes sense. But there's not a lot of other people who have done that.
And at some point, you're just interviewing Jack again.
You know?
It's also, I think, a really
great time to, like, once again, we talk about this
all the time. Our community is so
absurd and amazing. That is a connection that only happened
because of the community. That is not a thing that I would have ever
connected the dots on, but it was
people that are listening to the show and are passionate about it, sharing that connection
and then enabling us to actually connect with him.
Like, I would have had no, it very easily could be a thing where I watched Survivor and
had no concept that he was the pencil judge.
The only reason why that was ever discovered was because of people in our community talking
about it and just so thankful.
The community is very on top of it in that way.
And I think this is by far the community that has the most.
similar vibe to the people making the show.
Like, I've been a part of communities where every idea is pretty, I don't know, it just
doesn't fit.
The regulation community has tremendous ideas, I feel like, because they speak regulation
and they sort of know the vibe of it.
Tremendous ideas and execution.
I just love that there's somebody out there that made a hot dog counting website for
the community.
Yeah, exactly that kind of thing.
I completely agree with you, Gavin.
As somebody who's been lucky enough to have, or to participate,
in online communities for 23-ish years now,
there's been nothing like this
in the history of my experience.
There really hasn't.
Not to like, not to, you know,
blow the audience while I'm cradling their balls or anything,
but it really is just a fucking special
and unique community that has kind of formed around us.
They made several Christmas albums.
Fucking crazy.
Yeah, yeah.
you're only cradling the balls
not the vaginas
well yeah
I'm also cradling the vaginas
all the balls are that is absolutely
I'm up I'm up
dude I'm a washing genitals
as a thank you
but yeah
I'm gonna get Jeff out of this
and go to the next question
which is written by the one
and only spummer
with an unlimited budget
what show or series
would you like to create
ooh
I'm
of all the people here
I think I'm most interested
in Gavin
answer?
Really?
Yeah, I feel like you, I don't know, with slow-mo guys, you deal with explosions and stuff,
I just feel like...
Oh, you think we should bring explosions to regulation?
I don't know.
I just feel like you work on a larger scale than we do typically.
Yeah, I think maybe I would just do, I would do more like regulation-related trips.
Regulation trips, regulation field trips.
Like if we have an idea that can only be done in some random,
city in some random state it could be like hey you want to go on friday i think with an unlimited
budget what show or series would you like to create i would like to recreate mad mad world or rat
race uh with the community that would be the yeah that would be the goal and insane scavenger hunt
be fantastic how about you nick or eric i i don't know like it is tough because budget like
so rarely factors in yeah yeah that's that's how i feel that's the thing and even like
budget for travel isn't really
that much of an issue for us.
It's more of a component of time.
Oh, yeah. And by that, I mean,
not like we have the budget, it's
unlimited, it's that I don't think on a scale
that would require a large budget.
I struggle, and it's going to sound like a cop-out answer,
but I struggle to think of something
that I've wanted to make a regulation
that hasn't been achievable.
Yeah, and it's never hindered by budget.
Like, I love the fact that we were able to make
what I think was a really funny,
video for the cost of four sandwiches the other day? Yeah. Yeah, that is absolutely, that is my
sweet spot. Like, I came into this industry making a production company out of two Xboxes,
you know? Like, that, that, that, that, that, that, that was my ceiling. Uh, the only reason
back in Achievement Hunter, we did shows like Haunter and hardcore and Last Laugh that had
these inflated budgets is because they approached me, and by they, I mean management approached me
and said, think big, what's your big budget idea?
We have money.
We need to spend it.
We want to spend it.
Give us your best big budget ideas.
So we then went to the drawing board and came up with ideas for them.
But those weren't ideas that I would have naturally even landed on in that, like,
anything we want to do, I feel like we can do because I think all of our ideas are fairly
achievable.
You know, you know what it is for me is survive Block Island was a really fun idea that I know
that we had talked about that people like really loved.
I really kind of don't feel one way or another about it
I think is a really cool show
and I would love to do more of that
if there was something like that
where like the budget didn't matter
we could get all of our friends and do that stuff
I think what I would want to do
is make a mini golf game
and we talked about that previously
sort of brought up in like other stuff or whatever
but a mini golf video game
that was like
it's not there
nobody's making them
make it regulation themed
and like around this stuff
or whatever, but very much in the vein of like,
dude, three deals for mini golf would be so fucking cool.
Mini golf menace.
And you can fuck with each other.
Yeah.
That's the game.
Four player, boom.
Regulation golf.
Exactly.
Yeah, exactly.
That to me would be, if it's all budget and we have an idea and people are like
executing on this thing, look, I don't know how to make a game and I don't know
how to execute on that thing.
But if it's, you know, a pie in the sky idea, then that would probably be mine is
making that kind of thing because I think that would be a lot of fun.
that's a great idea thought on the just a quick note on budget it's just funny timing i was
talking to a friend yesterday and they asked about uh podcast budget and that type of thing and
and brought up this item for us to acquire that is so absurdly like so out of the realm of any
possibility it was like a fair ride and i was like no that's fucking like no like that's absurd
what are you talking about and then they replied oh don't you know what you need
needed the Warner money for that to make that happen.
And I love that perception because at the end, I couldn't get us new Xboxes.
The premise that we had the Warner money at any point to buy a fair ride is hilarious to me.
I mean, you bought the Port-a-Potty yourself, right?
Yes.
I was out of pocket.
Moving on to the next question by Will.
Will there be a Russian fuck hat patch for the patch hat?
Also for Jeff, long time since we've had an update.
How are your teeth slash jaw doing?
I'll say yes, I'm a thumbs up for the patch idea if the other guys are okay with it.
I think it's on the list of potential.
There may have even been a mock up of it already because we had, I think, like 10 or 12 mocked up initially.
And then my mouth's fine.
It's great.
I was having those issues.
I think it was due to clinching my jaw.
I've been using a mouth guard.
Just recently, the issues started on the other side of my mouth.
but I recognized it went to the dentist
just to make sure there's nothing there
and I think it's all just related to stress
and so I'm learning not to clinch my jaw
and to relax, thank you.
Nice, good work.
Awesome.
Yeah, I'm all for the Russian fluk hat thing.
I just, I don't, that design is like a spell to me.
I don't understand, because it was a random accident.
I don't, I always don't understand
how we can recreate it.
I don't know how they did it the first time.
That's why I am never personally pushing for it
because I just don't understand how we could even
do it. They recreate it pretty well for the shirt and the hat we made. They sure did. If we
have those assets, I guess we can just reuse them, but that is always the hold up in my mind.
I love the idea of selling a patch that was a hat and a shirt that could be stuck on a
different hat and a different shirt. I completely agree. That's so many layers deep. It's almost
hard to think about. It's pretty good. We are running a bit long.
So maybe I'll do like one or two more.
There's so many amazing questions.
Thank you so much to all the Falcons.
We've submitted them.
Here is one for Mr. Fedora.
A lot of people make clips, highlights, and compilations of your work.
How do you guys feel about that, obviously unmonetized?
Do you find they help draw people to your work, steal views from you, steal views from you,
or is it just something that comes from being an online presence for so many years?
Do these kinds of things annoy you guys or does it not matter to you?
I've always seen that as like a great indicator.
of a, of a thriving community, to be honest.
Absolutely. I agree.
Yeah, I love it.
I think it's so cool.
I think it's great.
Our views aren't that precious.
No, that, but we really said that like when we were starting this company, we're like,
we're not going to try to like chase it.
We have to be mindful of an algorithm, but we're not trying to chase an algorithm.
We're not trying to chase views with like what we're doing.
We need to be mindful of like what we're doing, but we can just, we make what we want to
make and do what we want to do here.
And I think that, I don't know how you guys feel about this.
But people are like, oh, you know, they make compilations and it's like unmonetized.
Me personally, I don't care necessarily if it's monetized or not.
I don't feel like you're taking money out of my pocket.
I think you're doing a real service by like getting these compilations to do stuff and whatever.
So more to me, you know, it's obviously going to be a case by case thing.
If it's, it turns into some other, I know with other channels at other points, it turned
into like, yeah, I make these compilations and here's my Patreon and then like, you know,
getting upset with people that are watching like these other videos. I've just seen it happen
in other communities. As long as it doesn't broach that, it's like, I didn't make the video.
I think it's great. If it's striking you creatively that you want to compile and do those
things, more power to you. I think it's phenomenal. And thank you very much.
The compilations that the audience makes, in my opinion, is always better than anything that we
would produce ourselves. Absolutely. I totally agree with that. We've been down this
rode before in the past with Achievement Hunter. And Gavin is 100% correct. For whatever reason,
the compilation that the audience makes is always going to be better and better received than the
compilation that the creator makes. So you do a better job than we could, capturing what it
is that you like about the show versus what it is we think you like about the show that we
clip together for you. But in addition, at the end of the day, I think the easiest way to look at it
just make no mistakes about it, audience.
We are a Patreon-driven show.
We exist because of the patrons on Patreon
who pay for us every month.
YouTube to us is an advertisement.
It is a commercial.
We put our videos up on YouTube
to find audience, to let them know about us
so that hopefully they will go to Patreon
at some point.
If not, that's cool.
They can still enjoy it on YouTube.
But at the end of the day,
it doesn't matter to me
if they're watching your compilation video
of us on YouTube or us on YouTube.
It's both, both of them are commercials for us.
The biggest battle that we have and we've talked about,
I don't know how much we've said kind of externally or whatever,
some, but internally the biggest battle that we have as a company and like as a show
is that nobody knows that we're doing this.
And you're looking at views and everything.
You're like, oh, people know, people are listening and all this stuff every day.
Oh, I didn't know Jeff and Gavin were making videos still every day, every single day.
It, like, it is such an uphill battle to inform an audience that wants to see this stuff,
but they have no idea about it.
And, like, that's, it's hard.
And so, like, these compilations reach a different audience, and I'm all for it.
I think they're great.
Absolutely.
I think it's also, like, on top of just the willingness and, like, the enjoyment of the thing
so much that you want to make a compilation for it is incredibly touching and appreciated,
I think, by all of us.
as well as just on like a it's a weird personal thing of largely what we do is comedic like 99% of it so the idea that like any of us could say something that made someone laugh so much or just enjoy that moment so much that they want to clip it and then share it with other people is so just absurdly touching in sort of a unique way it's a very gratifying and humbling thing yeah absolutely yeah it means that some the idea that some dumb thing you said yeah has some something
sort of value you know what I mean yeah the final question by Jack
linehart what's the most complicated post-production process you all had to deal with
to me immediately what comes to mind is Mario Party March but I'd love to know Nick if
there was something on the production side for you that was just a fucking nightmare that
like might not be obvious that it was a disaster I'm trying to think that it was probably
the most intense thing that we did was either
Just gathering all the files and figuring out how to post for either the Advent calendar or Mario Party March.
But Mario Party March was also one of those complications just because it was so many different R files.
We had the Craig backup.
And if you know what Craig is, it's basically a recording system for Discord.
So it's just, it's lesser quality, but it's still better than nothing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then also just getting the video from that.
I would say
sometimes when we do
certain streams
being able to
like we ran into this issue recently
where we're trying to figure out
audio settings
when we have to stream through Discord.
Actually, you know what?
A really good example of this happening
in real time was when we did
the Donkey Kong stream
because we found out very quickly
that Andrew's machine
wasn't quite able to handle
too heavy of a load
the 2K stream that
initially was doing
and then after that
we pivoted to him sharing his screen
with us through Discord
and I stream that
and then being able to utilize
that his actual recording
from that for the VOD
as opposed to using the live stream
that I put out
just because it had better video
and it also has the audio from the game
so those are probably
the most complicated things
even though they're like the usual quick turnaround things
is just figuring out
how to plug and play all that stuff
after a live stream
because it's a quick turnaround.
Absolutely. Does anything jump up
to you guys? Yeah.
No, nothing that we've really done.
It's like things that we've recovered.
Like we did a
Jeff Gavin and I did a FBC Fire Break 4
which is one of the rare things we lost
just completely because I didn't have footage
I think Gavin didn't have footage
audio was broken
like it just
it fell apart
it was piece by piece
it was only my video
and then two audios
I think
yeah
so it's like we have those
where it's just like
they're disasters
but not recoverable
recoverable
but in the sense of like
what is something
that was a nightmare
that we're able to make work
um
it
get getting that guillotine
in the fucking room
Andrew, when we did,
when you and Jeff and I
ended up watching the Pink Panther
for whatever reason
when we were capturing the wheel
that we lost that footage
and it's like that's the whole
impetus for the episode, right?
It's about spinning the wheel
to see what you're going to end up watching that week, right?
Because it's about remakes of good movies
and we're watching the potentially bad remake of that movie.
But the whole thing was, we were, we picked, it landed on one thing that we did not have access to, which led to us spinning in again and landing on Pink Panther.
That was completely lost.
So I had to recreate that moment visually.
It's like, re-spin the wheel until it landed on Pink Panther?
Yes, but on my third try, it landed on Pink Panther.
And then I spun it again, I'm sorry, on the third try, it landed on the initial one it landed on for us.
And then on the very next spin that I did, because it was just a continuous file that I was.
was doing. It landed on Pink Panther in the exact same time that...
Wow.
Which is insane.
It is insane. What's funny is that the way that you...
So I sent you all the information.
The reshoot that you did was not how the wheel looked when we did it.
You put it in in a different way.
So there were comments of people...
I don't remember what it was.
There are comments of being like, Andrew's acting like this when visually...
Like, what's he talking about?
And it was like, you are not seeing...
Like, it is a recreation.
but it is not recreated in the way that it was when we recorded it.
That's great.
That's so funny.
With stuff like that, though, I feel like I'm fine just having a little disclaimer being like,
oh, we lost this footage.
This is a recreation, just so people are less confused.
That's a good idea.
It wasn't that they were confused.
It was that they were, like, annoyed with me or something, but it was like...
I like it if it's going to make them annoyed of the Andrew person.
It was maybe not even annoyed.
They were just confused, I think, when, I don't know.
I don't remember.
I just remember reading some of the comments.
It made you like dumb.
Yes.
It's like this is what you guys are seeing
is not actually what we saw.
I'm not stupid.
Not like everybody says.
It's the end of a great sausage talk.
Thank you all so much for the questions.
And I don't think I have anything else to add
in terms of sausage making.
I have one other thing.
I know we're running along.
I apologize.
But I forgot to bring it up earlier.
We were talking about doing more live streaming.
And I just wanted to update people sort of like
what we've been talking about.
in the background of like we want to live stream more do those things live somewhere what you know
what is this how does it go like whatever we talked about uploading them to
youtube later in unlisted and putting them in a playlist of like hey here's like all these
like live streams that we did is that something that you guys want is that something that we should
be doing we're trying not to get slammed to algorithmic
because we don't it doesn't really matter
but we need to like raise awareness
and when we have like these longer gameplays
like just to be very transparent
when we had a lot of fun
watching Nick Play Last of Us
and apparently none of you did
because just views wise
was not crushing
so it's like we still want to be able to do that
and where does it go
I think it's less about
algorithm too and more just about clutter
you know it's clutter
the main content super visible
yeah because it's gonna be
they're going to be live streams some weeks we might do three like it might just be you know
and nick it might just be you know who knows but but like we need we need to be aware of what we're
doing and we want to make you aware of what we're trying for and i think unlisted playlist on
youtube might be the move but we're not haven't really like landed on it landed on it yet
yeah that was the thing where we had all these different ideas of how to approach it and then
somebody in the community suggested that as a solution and it seemed like the person
fix for it, but I don't know how any of that stuff works.
So, like, on the surface, if you, like, if, I'm totally fine with what was discussed or
people, people are saying that it doesn't, doesn't really have an effect on the
algorithm and discoverability of other videos.
So I think it's, it's a perfect solution.
And then you get all the benefits of the YouTube player without having it on some weird
second site.
The only hang up that I could see is that say we're doing this in a year down the road,
someone wants to see one of the.
videos or whatever and they go oh fuck what live stream was that from there's no way for it to be
discoverable like you can't search for it it's just in an unlisted format in a playlist that's the
only hiccup that i can see for like the whole thing because i know a lot of people love to rewatch that
stuff but if that's sort of like the thing we're willing to give up then that just might be
the solution that we're looking for yeah i think of all the options that's the best one consider it
given up.
Can we even do it by like year?
Can we make like a playlist that's like Vod's 2025?
Yeah.
Oh, that's a good idea.
That's a really good idea.
Yeah.
Okay.
Good thing.
See, look at that.
Sausage talk.
Maybe solved the problem.
That's great.
Hey.
Crazy.
Yeah, first time for everything.
Hey.
I think that's it.
I think that's it.
No, I'm good.
It's a long one.
Jeff, do you want to wrap up this sausage?
Yeah.
I'd be happy of that.
squeeze it
into its intestinal lining
casing and then spin it around
and say thank you so much
