the regulation podcast. This is episode 118. My name is Jeff Ramsey with me. As always, Eric, Nick, Gavin, Andrew, I was visualizing you in my head when I said your names, which I don't usually do.

Oh, what was I doing when you were visualizing me? You specifically were smiling. I'm smiling, but not in like, I'm a horror movie way. I'm just tapy. Where was my finger? I didn't see, I just saw your face.

I didn't see your finger. You weren't smiling, by the way. You were looking vague. You were looking vaguely distracted and bored. The fact that you asked that is disturbing. Eric was in a bad mood and looked annoyed, just like pissy, you know? He just had like a little scrunchy, pissed face. Like he's having tech problems and Nick's out of town.

And then Nick just looked blank, like an empty canvas. Paint me, Jim. Yeah, that really sums it up. Hey, I have a note. Ooh. What's your note? It's been a week. Yeah, it's been a week.

what superpower would Andrew have? Andrew, go ahead. Oh, right. I did think about this. This is what I do, okay? Because I want to help people, but I don't, I don't want to have to interact

with people, generally speaking. I don't want to have to like go hell. I'm not a, I'll help you move if you really need help. I'm not excited about it, but I'll do it. Like, I don't want to go to dinner. It's not, it's not me thing. I'll help on occasion.

So I want to do something where I'm helping people, but it's away from it's kind of isolated. So my ability is I'm going to make loud like noises. I can make supersonic sounds and I'm going to help the world by living in a lighthouse. And I'm going to be like a foghorn, a human foghorn essentially. Supersonic sounds. Yeah, loud sounds, but I could control it like volume dial.

So to be clear, sound. that moves faster than the speed of sound. Yeah. Okay. Super sounds. So your superpower is job? No, no, it's loud noises, but I'm using it for job. You just gave it for job.

No, it's loud noises, but I'm using it for job. I talked to my partner already about it. They're fine living in a lighthouse. We're good. Lighthouse. Move into a lighthouse. I can change the bulbs and if it's really foggy out, I got you. I got you. Bruh.

Buh Move into a lighthouse Gonna sound just like a foghorn This is good Are you just periodically screaming out the top of the lighthouse Or are you only doing it when you see a ship? Oh, if it's really foggy out

You gotta do it, right? Whenever it's a high fog situation Okay And what's the reason the sound needs to travel faster than the speed of sound? Well, it's just loud Listen, I was given this power I don't know, you know like the specifics

of all of it X-Men and all that Wolverine didn't like fill out a character sheet. He just is. I just was. And this is how I'm using my power. But Wolverine was a successful hero though. That's why we know about him. Yeah. Somebody else filled out the sheet. I'm not trying to be. I'm not a big ego guy. I don't need to be number one. I don't need to be everywhere. I'm fine. I'm using my abilities. But it's literally your ideal thing. I was just trying to think of like what is an ability where I could the community and something. Because if you're a superhero, I feel like you should be helping

in some way. But I don't... But you're helping one, one boat and pissing off everyone else. You think there's one boat in the sea? You think all of the sea is worried about hitting land at your lighthouse? I think there are foghorns designed not for just one boat. Do you think now you've got this super ability. Do you think you could like geolocate your noise? Do you think you could like specifically like target a boat and let them know? I could. With your fog one, but it doesn't necessarily affect other boats around you?

I'm more annoyed by Gavin's idea of like, oh, no, oh, there's a boat lost in the fog, can't help, already help one. One a day.

Help my boat. It's got to be, where is this lighthouse, first of all? I don't know. Do you get the pick? Where do you want to live? I sort of always imagined that,

the lighthouse is much like the military where they deploy you somewhere. Oh, so you join like the lighthouse brigade and then you just get an assignment. Yeah, Gill. You're like, oh, I guess I'm in Nova Scotia this year. Yeah, and they deploy me somewhere. I don't feel like

lighthouse keeper is a job that's like on indeed. Would you like to, would you assume you'd be staying in Canada? I didn't even think about that. I was really just focused on helping the boats. I didn't think about, uh, I like living by the sea, and the sea is in other places. So I don't think I'm opposed to being abroad.

Yeah, you're probably going to want to live by the sea if you're in a lighthouse. Yeah, that was sort of one of the perks. Yeah. I like an ocean view. So you primarily want to help people. That's like requirement one. Yeah, if you have a super power, I feel like you should be using it for good. But instead of, even if you want to keep it to boats,

instead of being able to fly all around the world and stop a boat from crashing, you're just going to sit in one spot. There are other people for that. That's Superman's job. I'm not trying to be Superman. Yeah, he's only got one power. Superman has a bunch of powers.

He may be able to fly to a boat, but how's he going to be able to stop it from crashing? You also are really, you seem to be fixated on this idea that this is about helping boats and my need to help boats. not, it's just an ability I can use where I can help people at a distance. But it's the, it seems like that's the only benefit. So how many people are you actually helping

daily? Okay, let me spin this around on you, right? Let's see I can fly. Let's just say in your world, I'm Superman. I have the superhero ability. Uh, somebody in an office crashes their car and dies. Oh, why didn't, why didn't Andrew come in and save him? Why didn't fly in and save them. That's a shame. That's now on me. But if I just am a lighthouse keeper with my noises,

I can keep the boat secure. Because if I have the ability to save everybody, fly in and stop anything, I'm going to feel responsible for anything I miss. That's a lot of weight. Okay, so say it was extremely local, as local as a lighthouse.

Say you can help people within like 10 square miles of your lighthouse. How's he helping them? What's he doing? Well, with his noise, he's helping the boats, right? So we're still on the lighthouse. Helping the butts. Well, it's what he's picked as his local power.

But what if instead of the loud noise, that inconveniences everyone around you? What if you could just... That's an inconvenience to people lost at sea? No, I know. But what if you could just hop on the radio and be like, oh, there's a, there's land over here. Don't work. Don't come this way. There's land.

I don't know why you are opposed to, like, Foghorn. their existence. This is like a weird, like, Republican windmill, energy mill. You're gonna start telling me that the whales are going nuts over my foghorn. Like, what are you- I'm just saying? You've had, you've been given the chance to pick any power on Earth ever or in the universe, but most days you won't even help anyone because they could see the land. But the days they can't, I will. Yeah, but... I'm being incredibly responsible.

with my selection. I'm not taking on more than I think I would be able to take on. And because you don't really want to, you don't want to talk to people, that's why you wouldn't want to just fly over to the boat and be like, oh, there's line that way. It's not even a talk to people thing.

It's just that you are, you are now required to do so much more. There's so much more responsibility in that power. So with great power comes great responsibility, so you're just looking for like small to medium power for small to medium responsibility.

I want medium power. I think he doesn't want to be overwhelmed by the power and having to use it. I think he wants to be a dude who lives with a superpower, not a superpower who runs a human. I'm not trying to be a superhero, but if you have a

power, I feel you should do some good, some finding... You're uprooting your whole life to live in a lighthouse or whatever. That's not that different from what he's doing now, though. He's still staying inside most of the time. He's still hanging out. I'm still just hanging out. Yeah. Instead of looking out the window at ladies pissing on the McDonald's. He's looking out the window at a boat. Yeah, he can watch backrooms on his phone. He's got it all.

I, Andrew, I'm 100% on your side. I think this makes total sense. And I think that you're thinking clearly and you're thinking pragmatically about how a superpower would affect your life and the ways that you could manage having a superpower and still maintaining a life outside of that power. That's right. I think it's a fine one to pick, but your priorities aren't what you say they are. I don't think it's help people first and then work around that. It's how do I inconvenience myself the least and help people second? No, it's, it's, I want to. What's wrong with that?

I'm saying that's fine, but you can't be, you can't be saying, you know, I really want to help people, you know, first and foremost. Well, I, I've found a use for my power to help people. I don't have to fucking live in a lighthouse. I could just exist. I could be in town. I'm choosing to live in a lighthouse. You fucking live in a lighthouse if it's so easy, Gavin. You just decided to live in a lighthouse.

Which is the one place that already has almost all the functionality anyway of what you're providing. You're acting like a lighthouse is a five-star hotel. What are you talking about? You want to live in a lighthouse and instead of you something that moves- I don't. I'm not. I'm not. This isn't a dream. You want to go to a lighthouse.

But instead of using the thing that works at the speed of light If I never go to a lighthouse in my life, I'm happy. You want to use the speed of sound instead of the speed of light? It's just a shittier lighthouse. It's a better lighthouse. His speed of sound moves at the speed of light. We discuss that. I don't know if you know this, Gavin.

Lighthouses aren't thrilling positions to be in. How would you know? I feel like every piece of media about a lighthouse is about extreme isolation and struggling to be there. I mean aside from needing like curved posters I can't think of it being that much of a downside I'm sorry the movie the lighthouse is a fucking happy go lucky comedy

I didn't know they have a great time that's the best photo I've ever seen Eric it's of a way for the audience it's of a wave hitting a lighthouse and it looks brutal absolutely the wave is as tall as the lighthouse and I could just see Andrew peeking out

making foghorn noises. Well, maybe he can fight it. Maybe he can scream at the wave and maybe the wave will go away. I could. You could? Oh, okay, cool. Then nothing to worry about.

I could shoot sound. I agree with... Shoot sound. The sound when it's loud enough and fast enough is literally just a shockwave. You're going to shoot people's buildings over. It's going to be like the big root explosion.

You know you are, Gavin? You're one of those... Cryptonite. Ooh, if you're just stupid... You're... You're a comic nerd that's taking it too seriously. Yeah, that's what you sound like. Hell yeah.

He's getting into the science of this fictional fantasy. I just can't imagine having a week and picking a superpower that is less effective for the light bulb. Fuck the lighthouse. My new ability is I shoot chromatic aberration everywhere. Constantly. I'm a constant source of chromatic aberration and I'm just walking through town. He's our first villain. That's the super villain.

You've nailed it. I'm actually going to move across the street from Gavin in a fucking lighthouse in a residential neighborhood. And I'm just going to blast him with chromatic aberration every day, all day. But you can't see it apparently. So you wouldn't really know what you're doing. Oh, I know where it's going. I can feel where it's going. I'd be like, oh, it's so bad.

Andrew, you're really getting me. And it would just be you wouldn't know what it was. No, I would know. You've done this to yourself, Gavin. right. I would know. I agree. This is fun because I agree with Gavin 110 percent because Andrew is just saying I would be in the lighthouse

doing the functions that the lighthouse already does. But now we're getting to the real stuff where he's shooting chromatic apparatus. Well, I think what Andrew is saying once to jump back into Andrew's defense is I think he would do a better job at being a lighthouse than the

lighthouse. Are we, are our lighthouse is doing a bad job at being lighthouses? No, but there's always room for improvement everywhere, right? Shouldn't we always be aspiring to improve? It's just this one place. It's just this one place. He's the pilot. That's the pilot lighthouse that they're testing out Andrew's abilities. Who knows? Maybe Andrew discovers that when he has kids, they have lighthouse abilities as well. He's going to have a whole lineage of lighthouse. He's just going to be a lighthouse person? Dude, I don't have any idea how Andrew's powers work. I don't know if he was bitten by a lighthouse spider or if he has the lighthouse mutagen gene in his body that, you know, manifest in its early 30s.

I don't know how it came to him, so I don't know if he can pass it on or not. I'm just saying there's possibilities. I think he's been influenced by that game where you play a walking lighthouse. What was that thing? Keeper. It's keeper. No. I would just, I would feel guilt if there were people I could save and I failed to do so.

I feel like I could save 100% of the boats at need. But if you're picking, it doesn't matter. Who cares? But with this power, though, Andrew, if you saw someone choking from outside of the your lighthouse, you wouldn't be able to save them. I couldn't save them now. But you're picking a power where you can, it doesn't, I don't know what I'm here. So I'm supposed to pick a power that cures somebody who hypothetically is joking outside of

my lighthouse? Yeah, I got to agree with them there. It's like, that's all, that's a, that's such an insane argument because say he's the guy who can rescue people from drowning and then you're going to be like, well, you didn't save the guy who caught on fire. You're like, I don't have that fucking power either. He only gets one power. There's only one way he can help people with his one power.

Oh, Superman. What if a guy is bleeding out in a field of kryptonite? What are you going to do then? Like, what are you... Well, also, we keep using Superman as if he's not a guy with 4,000 different powers. He has all the powers. Andrew only gets one power in the situation. Yeah. And it's lighthouse. It's like even Wolverine. He has metal adamantium claws and his mutant healing factor. Is there a better way that I could be using my sound power?

Oh, I probably probably put out of fault. with it. Huh. Yeah, maybe. Or make it worse. That's true, I guess. I'm not opposed to being a firefighter. I just, I figured

lighthouse get some perks. Yeah, I just think in a lighthouse, you'd be more effective if your face was as bright as the sun. Well, we got the light for that. So you're doing half the, so you're doing half the job of the lighthouse. I can't shoot light. You want me to shoot light? You want me to

shoot sound. I'm just trying to make you guys happy. It's just one power. You guys have to pick. Yeah. What would help more people? Can more people see or more people hear? I have no idea. I'm trying to make them happy. So it's really, I do my response doesn't matter. I can be happy. Okay. Well, that's my power. My ability. Chromatic aberration. Didn't expect to go there. I just give you hugs all the time and blast. at full power. Get over here. I want to give you a burr, burr.

When was the last time you treated yourself of something new? Something you could actually use, something to make your life a little better. Like a Ridge Wallet. They are back with their legendary sweepstakes for a six year, and this time it's bigger than ever.

Don't know what that is, sounds fancy, a Ford Hennessee Velociraptor, a souped-up Ford Bronco, now I do know what that is, or $100,000 in cash, also familiar with money. I think if it were up to me, well, I'd have to do some Googling. A velociraptor sounds pretty cool, but I've always wanted to own a Ford Bronco, and this is probably the only way I'll ever get one.

There are only 1,500 of those Lamborghinis that exist, and Ridge is giving you the chance to own one. It is the world's first off-road supercar.

So I was reading some comments the other day on one of our recent videos and someone was and we're at about the time. We're long enough in the tooth. We're about two years in where I expect to see these kinds of comments. I saw one where somebody was saying, you know, I don't find the podcast is funny anymore. And I've been thinking about it a lot. I've been trying to figure it out. and I think I've nailed it.

I think I've narrowed it down to it's Jeff's fault. He's not telling as many funny stories, as many go-go-nows. He's not sharing all the foibles of like house problems that he used to. I feel like it's fine if he wants to keep that stuff private. But I just feel like the podcast is lessened because of it. The real answer there is I've told you guys every shitty thing that's happened to me. I just haven't had a lot of misery visited upon me lately, although I feel like my story about almost killing a room full of people at my house closing

was, I don't know, at least worth telling, you know. I feel like that was a major frustration and misery in my life. But I have a new one for you. As you know, my wife's been out of town for a while. She's home now, of course. She got home last Sunday. And on Saturday, it was my last day home alone. And so I had a very peaceful quiet day.

It was one of those days where I don't think I spoke all day, you know, except to the dog, maybe. I got up early. I made myself some breakfast. I went for a bike ride. I went to the plant store, bought a couple plants, came home, cooked myself a steak and some Brussels sprouts, tasted delicious, and just had a very quiet night. Then I listened to a book and I went to bed at 9 o'clock. No issues, right?

Went to bed at 9 o'clock on a Saturday, like the biggest loser on earth, but I was content to do what I was happy. Peaceful, excited knowing that when I woke up, I was going to see Emily again. Except I didn't because at 1247, I woke up. I know it was 1247 because my eyes opened. I went from a fully asleep, like 100% asleep to 100% awake in what felt like one second. I grabbed my phone. It's 1247. I'm laying there.

And you're like, why am I awake? Why am I alert? Why am I fully awake? Is there a noise? Did I hear a noise? No, I'm pretty sure there's no noise because the dog is still dead ass asleep next to me. He would have woken up well before I did if there was any kind of noise outside or in the house. Am I sick?

Do I feel bad? And I lay there? I don't move, but I'm like, no. I don't feel nauseous. I don't feel like I got to go to the bathroom. That's odd. And I just lay there for about 30 seconds, like doing like a triage,

trying to figure out why I would be awake. And I can't come to any conclusion. So I think, okay, I'm going to go to sleep. Close my eyes. As soon as I close my eyes, my tummy rumbles. And I go, oh, maybe I should go to the bathroom. Maybe I do have to go to the bathroom.

If I get up, I take two steps and I go from feeling completely normal to I'm going to throw up instantly. I just got hit with a wave of nausea as soon as I was vertical. I run to the bathroom, throw the toilet seat up, start projectile vomiting

into the toilet seat. While I'm doing that, fully shit my pants. Can't remember the last time. What? Can't remember the last time I shit my pants and vomited in tandem at the same time.

Like, I've shit my pants plenty of times, but not while I'm vomiting, right? So then I'm like, oh, I stop vomiting for a second. I turn around, I sit down, I start shitting, you know, letting the diarrhea out. And as I'm doing that, I fully throw up in my lap.

on the toilet, sitting down, just puked into my lap, on my dick, on my knees, on my feet, on the floor, just vomiting. Finish shitting, stand up, turn around, vomit back in the toilet like five times, and then... Into the poop? Yeah, it's the most... Actually, I did flush. No, no, no. I'm glad you asked that. I'm glad you asked that, Gavin, because I did flush.

Because as soon as I saw the toilet, it was a nightmare, I had to flush. It was dark, but there's, like, moonlight coming in from my window, and I could see. And I don't want to put my head that close. So I did, I did, I did flush. But I also realized I could throw up from much higher up than usual because I had such a good arc with the puke. But, because usually I'm on my knees, you know, I didn't quite get to my knees this time. And anyway, so I throw up like seven times. I shit myself and the floor and my lap and the toilet.

And then I feel 100% fine. So then I just like, I'm dazed. I'm like, what the fuck just happened to me? You know, this is all happened in the span of like two minutes. Maybe I was dead asleep to this. And then I got a mop and I called. cleaned the floor and the toilet, and then I took a shower, and then I went back to bed, and then I woke up, and I felt fine.

It's like you got hit by the, the emetic dart in Hitman. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It is. It's exactly like that. That's crazy.

It fucked me harder than I've been fucked. And I'm not going to say ever, but in a while, you know, and really intense and immediate. And then it was gone. It was like two strangers passing in the night, me and diarrhea. vomit. It was three strangers, I guess. That's... Have you been able to track like what caused it? No, I...

Like, is there anything out of the usual that... So I thought maybe it was food poisoning from the Brussels sprouts and the steak, but I bought two steaks and I'd only used about a third of the Brussels sprouts because I wanted to cook the rest for Emily and I the next night. And I went ahead and cooked it and it was fine. So I don't think it was food poisoning.

At least not from those things. And I don't really know what else I ate throughout the day. I think I had an in-and-out burger for lunch. I'm sure that wasn't it. So I don't know. Can you Imagine knowing when you bought that steak that some of it might end up on your dick. Yeah, that I'm going to spend, I'm not spent $37 to put it on my weiner. Yeah, yeah. Anyway, so I shit myself.

I shit the floor. I shit the back of the toilet. I shit the wall a little bit. And I threw up on myself and I threw up on the toilet and I definitely threw up on the floor and the wall and my knees and my cock and a little bit in the shower as well, I think. and so that's, you know, there's some, there's some, there's some, there's a Jeff story for you. Holy shit. Yeah, I got. Nothing, nothing holy about that.

No. I'm glad you're feeling better. I'm glad it was one night thing. Yeah, I was, like I said, three minutes later, I felt 100% I could run a marathon. Well, except that I can't run a marathon, but you know what I mean. I felt totally far. Try three. Not easy.

So, so you just like, it was just out of nowhere and then did you just like go back to bed? Or were you up for a while or what? No, I went to bed feeling 100%. I woke up feeling 100% stood up, lost every fluid in my body, cleaned up, took a shower, and then went back to bed and I woke up feeling well-rested

and 100% and then I went into the bathroom and I saw it turned on the lights and I saw all this stuff I missed cleaning at you know one in the morning and so I cleaned the bathroom again Oh I forgot to tell you the part where the dog heard me puking and he got up and he ran into the bathroom and he ate the puke between my legs while I tried to push him away

You're gonna make Gavin throw up. You're gonna make Gavin throw up. And he was just like going to town trying to eat the puke, but there was shit down there too. And so I was like trying to push him away and keep him off. And eventually he,

you know, he's a reasonably well-behaved dog. So he realized that I wasn't kidding around and so he went back and, you know. I can imagine his eyes going wide open three hours later from his sleep. That's horrible. That happens to me every time I go to Australia.

What do you mean? You get hit by a dart? Yeah, I just get, like, darted in the night, and I end up shitting and puking for some reason. Huh. But not when you go back to, like, the, like, England or, like, come to the U.S., it's just Australia? Yeah, I think so. I think I've been to Australia, like, three times, but the first two times I went straight to, like, a fan meetup, where they cook me steak. Mm.

So I get fed a lot of puk steaks in Australia. I also remember, I mean, we had some pretty tumultuous trips. Like I remember one time we went to Australia together, me, you and I mean, everybody, I think it was for RTX probably. And we check, you know, you leave and it's a brutal flight. It's like 16 hours long. You get there at 8 in the morning. It's mid-summer. You're getting blasted with heat and humidity.

And they drive you to a hotel that barely has air conditioning in the lobby. And then they don't have your room ready for seven hours. So it's like, then you just like, I remember I have a picture somewhere of you and Millie curled up in a ball together on a like a sofa in. I don't know, a Mandarin hotel in Sydney, I think, somewhere, just sleeping your asses off at 10 a.m. in the morning, looking just uncomfortable and miserable. There was another trip where I had to go straight onto live TV to promote RtX, and then I went straight to a set where I was hung upside down by my legs.

We were talking about this yesterday. Dude, that's so funny. We were at a Wendy's yesterday with 100% eat, and we were talking about going to Australia, and Michael was like, because Jordan was complaining about like, oh, when they had gone, and it's like so, like the most tired I've ever been. And Michael went, imagine flying there and you get off the plane and then they hang you upside

down like last of us. It's like, oh my God. I would wait in the lobby of a hotel for three straight days over being immediately hung upside down after a 17-hour flight. Wasn't, didn't Lindsay get hurt in that shoot too somehow? Oh, yeah, she's like smashed her face in. You had to go to the hospital. I remember something about that.

Yeah. It's, you know, Australia is dangerous And not because of all the stuff like the animals And all the crazy stuff that you typically think of And the giant wind that can just knock a dude over and slice his arm out of them And make him bleed on your face Oh God I really like Australia

Yeah It's the best man Yeah I would I know I'll never go back Because there'll never be a reason for business to take us back But Perth Australia is one that I think about it From time to time about how cool that place was how remote it felt, but how awesome

everybody was there and just how much fun they were eking out, living in the middle of nowhere. I'd love to visit that place again. They're just very pleased that you're in Perth because it's so in the middle of the wrong side of Australia. Yeah. You don't think we could find a reason to go there? You don't think regulation could have

an Australian reason? I want to watch Gavin throw up. I mean, even having a reason to go to Australia isn't necessarily having a reason to go to Perth. That's like, you know, it's like that. It's very specific. The far side of Australia. It's like the most remote. Well, Andrew, you weren't set foot in America, obviously,

but would you set foot in Perth? If it's legal for me to do work there, yeah. Okay. Something to, we might be finding a reason, something to look forward to. What if our first meeting since starting a podcast together would be in Perth? Please don't.

Please don't. If that's really what's going to happen, I just don't know what we're doing. That would be insane. You don't think it would be funny? I have an issue. Oh, yeah. It would be funny.

It would just be nuts. I like nuts. Issues is a wrong, wrong word. I have something to say. Jeff, you had a comment about the audience. Okay.

I have a comment. The reply. There have been a few false smoking guns. Since Eric and I had our discussion, had her debate. I wasn't even going to bring it up. Well,

that's fine because I am. I think you're right. We went back and forth. I think you're right in the spirit of it. I stand by making this ruling in August is nuts. That's a crazy. move. But I think you have a valid point in the spirit of the thing. However, I've seen several

posts, several comments from people referencing that when we did the draft and I brought up the bonus stars, you complain then as well about the seeing movie star, about the fact that I saw all of the movies last year. And I replied, yeah, but how many did I see in theaters? Zero. People have interpreted that as me saying that because I didn't see them in theater, they wouldn't count. My point was that my availability, my accessibility to seeing these films would be limited to other people that go to the theater. I wasn't saying that watching it at home wouldn't count. My point was that we are going to record this at the end of the summer as opposed to December like we did last time, which gave ample time for everything to be on VOD. I think that

makes total sense. The thing that I keep landing on when I think about it and I try to make sense of it all, because I definitely understand both sides of the argument. Even if we say that, and I do think we said watch the movie, not watch it in the theater, so there's a technical, that Andrew is technically correct, if nothing else.

Even if Andrew watched all the films in the theater with the idea that it would add to the box office total, he's still the internet, he's still international box office. It wouldn't affect. No, it does. Domestic is north, all of North America.

Oh, is it? Yeah. Oh, see, I thought Canada, I thought Canada wouldn't, wouldn't be counted. domestic. But if that's considered domestic, then, oh, never mind. There it is. Hey, all I'm saying is that with the old show, Jeff wouldn't have stuck up for Andrew like that. I think you've changed. And so I just tough, man. Yeah, that's tough. That's tough. You would have gone after him. You would have gone right for the throat. And here we are. But you did say, you just say, Andrew,

that there's no way you would have won. He, there's, he wouldn't have gone. I just relistened to the clip because I was going to play it and really get them. But then what, what he just explained is what he said in the clip because he, what he's saying, what he is reframing from what he's saying, which is different for what he said, but it makes sense when he explains it, is that how many did I see in the theater, zero? I wouldn't have one because I would not have gone to see these movies if that were the case. I understand what he's positing in that situation. If that were the requirement, I would have lost because I would have gone to zero movies.

Yeah, I would have gone to zero movies. Yeah, yeah. That's what he's saying. I wasn't even going to bring it up. because I still know that I'm right, and that's fine. And it's the moral victory of the whole thing. I don't think you disagree necessarily. I think you bring up a valid point in the spirit of it.

You have the audience victory as well, which is a hundred percent on your side. Yeah, yes, it is. It's more like 88. Let's be, let's be factual, guys. It's about 88%. It was weird to see so many people, it was so many sentences with Eric and Wright in the same. Yeah, yeah. Usually, usually there's a is not in the middle.

and this was not how this went. And it was wrong. Yeah, there was no contraction. There was, just is. No, isn't. The ones that I really liked were people going, I'm usually never on his side, but I can't argue with what he's saying.

I don't feel comfortable agreeing with Eric, but I have no choice. And that's fine. If I could take a phrase from Nick, welcome to being right. This is, I mean, it is what it is. I was trying to diagnose when I gave up on movie theaters.

Uh-huh. And I realized it was Detective Pikachu was my last draw. I had an incredibly bad run throughout my life of just the worst theater experiences over and over again. And I hate conflict and I hate people getting annoyed. So it just created this like anxiety for me and sitting in a theater and having something incredibly disrupting happening and then people getting mad at each other. My last draw was Detective Pikachu. I think that was the last movie I saw in theaters. and I think I mentioned it maybe in the past,

but I went, my mom and I saw Detective Pikachu together because she likes Pokemon. And we're sat next to this kid who was like maybe eight years old and every single time a Pokemon would appear, they would call out the name of the Pokemon. And they'd be for everyone. Would they get them right? I have no idea.

I couldn't fact check. I only know the original 151. But they did this. every time and there are a lot of Pokemon that appear in Detective Pikachu and after about 35 minutes my mom said to them could you please be quiet

and that did not go well with that child who was there with their grandma they responded by throwing their popcorn at her and then trying to dump their soda over her and then it turned into a whole yeah and then

like it turned into like she was trying to push him away when he was trying to dump the soda and then the Graham had to get involved and then he started yelling. Oh my God. While he got pulled out of the theater and I realized internally I just went, I'm done. I'm done with, I'm done with the theaters in my town. If there was a theater that like policed people being disturbing or like kicking seats or doing something, I would gladly go, but I'm out.

I can't. The shitty mall theaters. We must be incredibly spoiled in Austin with theater experiences because I just, I've been, I can't remember the last time I had an experience like. like that in a movie theater. No. Not even talking about Alamo draft house, even just going to like, I go to the one at the Martin Spring, Barton Creek Mall most of the time now.

And I just, everybody's pretty well behaved at least in Austin. Thank Christ. There's a guy that used to just go in to talk to people and then they would get mad at him and yell and then it was, oh, I've had so many extremely bad experiences in movie theaters. That's given me such a draft idea. The last straw draft. Ooh.

It can be from personal experience. It could be like, oh, this character had the, you know, this was the last straw for them in this movie. It could be just famous. Last straws. Last straws. I need to ask, is this at all in relation to, Gavin shared with me movies he had planned to watch potentially while traveling. And on that list was falling down. Did you watch Falling Down?

Is this at all? I kept seeing clips of this freaking falling down movie. I don't know how it got into it. It was just all over my YouTube shorts. And I was like, I've never seen this movie that everyone's seen. to go apeship for. And I watched that piece of shit on the place. I told you. Not a great film. That movie. There is a time and a place for falling down and it is not 2026 in the age that you are.

No. No. No. And you warned me of that. So I went... I did. And immediately I was just like, oh, I can't, I can't relate to this guy. It's not. You find yourself having to side with the police and then... In that, you're like, I can't relate to any of these freaking idiots either. It was a bunch of people in a movie who I didn't like all eventually just like killing each other, mess each other up. It was probably not a movie I would recommend to a single person I know. Yeah. I like when he shoots, I like when he shoots the bazooka for some reason.

Like the movie gets so, it starts in like a small way. And then obviously it's like ramping up with like these. situations or whatever, but like, he has a bazooka. Like he gets a bazooka. And there's people on both sides of it who experienced last straws. And the last straw of the main cop guy trying to find the main bad guy is him finally telling his wife to shut up on the phone. That's his big, his big redeeming moment is like, shut up.

I'm sick illisted to you. It's so weird. It's just like, it's a weird, that's a weird one to watch on a plane, too. That's going to give people around you, like, ideas about what kind of guy you are, dude. Yeah. Especially when you're sitting in your seat going, hell yeah, hell yeah, dude, I hear that. Hell yeah. That's crazy.

Why were you high-fiving yourself so much? I've had bad luck with stuff. I tried to watch sopranos on planes, but it's when you're on a plane surrounded by people that you realize how many scenes just have tits in the background. Yeah. Yeah. Just in the club. There's so many tits. And I'm suddenly like, I've got like both hands on parts of my screen.

I'm trying to just watch through my fingers. Been in your hands somewhere else, I guess. Yeah, I guess on a plane, it's tough. But if we're, hey, if we're talking about tough watches, I kind of want to bring this up. We really got to dial this in. And we really got to figure this out. Like, just company-wide.

We got to figure out what we're doing because we can't keep putting out videos like I spy 80 days. No. It's a great video. It's not a great video. It's not. It's fantastic video. I was vocally against this in the meeting.

Yeah. I agree. And, and... I had no vote. Well, there's got to be a part two, so you got to have a part one out. No. Yeah, we got to finish it. Got to go with Gavin on this one.

No, Gavin. Gavin, it was Gavin's idea. He said, we got to finish it. We got to play through the whole thing. Now, my idea was that you would have to replay the, and fill in the footage for what you didn't record and use our audio. And I told you he wasn't going to do that. I told you. You said that's what he should do.

And I said there's no way. That was not discussed for that video. It was discussed. I'm on your side here, Andrew, but it was discussed. I don't think it was discussed at all. I don't remember that. And a lot of the time, respectfully, you guys, you don't remember shit about what was actually said.

And I just have to quietly go, okay. They don't remember. Hey, hey, you know what was said to me a lot? You know it was said to me a lot, Andrew? that I'm not going to forget, you don't know my setup. That's what was told to me a lot. That was told to me a lot of times. When I said, shut up.

When I said, why are you stopping this? Why would you stop the recording? Why would you do that? Just let it keep rolling. You don't know my setup. We have a video that ends at 12 minutes and goes until 38 minutes. It's a 38 minute video. We also recorded a bunch of more topical current stuff

that we could have bumped that one for. We've bumped Ivespire 80 days a bunch of times. And we should have kept bumping. It has to come up. I agree with Gavin. It should have, it should have continued to be bombed. Well, why does it have to come out? Even if we do a part two, why does it have to come out?

Because it's a great video. Stand by that. It's not. Go read the comments. No, it's not. I'm looking at them right now. This counts as a baby game. You don't know my setup proceeds to not record.

It's 50-50. Is it? Personally, I love videos that make me question. Maybe 40-60. People liking it. I don't think people are liking it. I kind of think people are liking it. I don't.

If you like this, you're a psychopath. Let us know in the comments of this video. If you like that video, because you're nuts. It's coming in for part two. I don't know why, but I'm so. Zimping for Andrew fucking hard in this other. Now, you're just on the right side of history, Jeff. Don't feel bad.

I just feel really, I just feel really aligned with you today. And we're just, yeah, because you're right. Because you're right. Maybe long term it's the favorite. I just felt like, uh, if it was like 50% of the video was missing. But what is, what is less than 50% of the video was filmed? Sometimes the thing you got just bit it and go again. No, he does have a point there.

It's a good video. Oh, man. Or just made part two with it, with a, with, Like 10 minute recap. 287 thumbs up. Just one up. Just one up. Just an additional thumbs up right there.

Another happy customer. Good video. So after that, and I don't know if this counts as a strike toward Andrew. I don't know if we're counting strikes for Andrew. We want to talk about you playing fucking license music and video. Oh, I have no problem with that. I do that every time. I've been very clear that I don't care about that at all.

Is that what it was? in that demonetized GTA video and I thought it was just something that was in the video. Eric went out of his way to play license music every time he's in the car. Now, Jeff, what you're saying

is you think I'm playing it over my phone or something? I'm just, I just don't mute the audio in my game. I just don't turn off the radio station. You gotta turn off the radio station. I want to listen to music. What I'm saying. You can't. They put all that music in the game. Well, this is what happened, Jeff. I'll tell you the whole thing.

We got, tweetl D and tweetle dumb down there arguing about this video. Originally, we had no sound. And then Gavin was like, no, we gotta have sound for the heist. And then I turned the sound on and all it is is bo-bub-bub-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-bbb-bbbb. Is this the video where we can't, we couldn't fix it because we can't cut away because Gavin doesn't have footage? That's right, because Gavin's footage is fucked up.

That sounds like a strike for Gavin, doesn't it? Yeah. My footage is fine. Strikes all over the place. My audio is. For the GTA videos, like, let's turn the fucking radio off. That's what that. I tried to not let Eric in the driver.

Those do well. Those videos do well. That's like a $500 hit we're taking on that one video. My biggest issue with this is the... It's fine once in a while. It's not fine. It hasn't happened before I got nothing to worry about.

Jeff, I've been skating through. It would be fine if literally any other person was doing this. But it's the guy who yelled us constantly at the last company to not do this is now the one doing this. It is a weird Eric thing. Well, that was from Matt.

That wasn't me. That was me just giving a Matt note to everyone. Oh, cool Matt, and get him to ask you again. Matt doesn't work here. Listen, listen, I've left Matt notes in the dust. I don't need those. It is the least Eric thing that Eric does. I'm okay with, I'm okay.

I mean, the spirit of f***es lives. I'm okay with shooting ourselves in the foot financially on occasion for the bit and if it's funnier to do so and if it makes sense. but I don't want to do it intentionally just to just to do it. I also don't want Eric to be doing it. I just, I don't think we should be obtuse about it. Just so we're clear, I'm not changing the way I'm doing things. I don't think anyone was expecting.

I'd like to request, I'd like to request you guys stop making heists then. I just think it's funny that you do because it's so unlike you in every other way. Yeah. I would like to request that you guys not invest half of a day of into a video that we can't monetize over and over and over again. That seems like a mistake. I'm just going to give the editor a note to just replace all of Eric's music with like nickel back or something.

Oh, saving me? You think nickel back won't get monetized? You're crazy. This guy's nuts. The song with the numbers over their head and then he was shooting at you so we can put numbers over your head for how long until you crash. What was the name of that song again? Saving me, apparently.

Good album. He was saving people. Now, that was a bad super... That was like the sex-kill demon thing from... What was that movie called? What? They follow us? It follows?

It was like that, but like you save somebody and then you transfer the power of the same. We don't need to get into the nickel back lore. I have... We talked about GTA. 2026, been a year of criminality, potential criminality on my part, not designed by me. I have multiple potential instances of criminality

that has occurred that I've avoided I get to start with the first one the oldest one that I've been sitting on for quite a while and I'll be vague but I wanted to get

a handheld like gaming device they could play PC games because sometimes ankle integrity is real low sometimes I have a bad gout flare up and it's tough to even just sit at my desk. So being able to like stretch out and play something would be nice.

So I ordered one. I was very excited about it. Ordered it from the manufacturer that made it. Waited. I was anticipating it highly. Never got any other emails about it. And then it came out. And the day it came out,

I still hadn't even received a shipping notification. So I was like, fuck this. I'm just going to cancel this. So I canceled it. ordered it from Best Buy, which had them in stock, and it immediately shipped. It was very excited about that.

I said, fuck, I said that was going to be fake. No one even did anything. It's probably fine. It's probably fine. It's probably fine. You probably don't need to bleep it.

I ordered it. Best bleep. And it came. And they didn't knock, so they delivered it somewhere else. and my partner was like, I'm gonna go out, I can pick that up for you, no problem. I said, awesome, thank you.

So they went out to like, they're gonna do other errands. They picked it up and they're like, yeah, I had to come home. It was so heavy and large. I just wouldn't be practical for me to travel to do the other stuff I planned on doing it with. And I was like, oh, I'm so sorry,

but also like, that's weird. I don't think it's that big. So then I get to it. And it is a giant box. And I open it up. and I realized that they have shipped me not a singular unit, but a case, which is three units.

Whoa. What? To which I immediately freak out and think, did I accidentally order three of these? Oh, fuck. Oh, no. And I double checked, and I didn't. I ordered one.

But whoever sent it assumed one was a box, and a box had three. So I ended up with three of these things, and I didn't, like, I just kept waiting for the police to show up. You were waiting for the police to show up? I was terrified. You were at home.

Did you like draw the blinds? Like were you like, get me out of here? I kept waiting for Best Buy to email me. He was so scared. He turned the lighthouse light off. I did. So they wouldn't think he was home.

He shut his mouth. I got an email from them like two hours later after I realized this. And I went, and it was just a promotional. It was like, hey, we're doing summer deals. We're doing summer deals, buy one, get three. Yes. So I don't know.

I don't know the lot. I didn't, I mean. So you have three of these things? Yeah. I don't think it's, I mean, I feel like whenever it's the bank giving you money in error, you're not allowed to do anything with it, right? But does that count for just like consumer items?

I don't know. I did nothing wrong on my part. I paid for the thing I wanted, and they sent me an additional two things. You're going to go to jail for a long time. I can't believe that you just said all this on a podcast. The Royal Mounted Police are coming for you on horse. Oh, I'm going to all that too.

The Mountie always gets this man. You're done. Okay, well, then maybe actually go into potential American criminality that has also occurred. I'll actually be vague on this one and won't immediately say the business I ordered it from. But I bought an item for work, for specific work reason

that I thought would be fun and the item I received contained and or had information attached to it that was not at all anticipated and is a very ridiculous thing of I have now ended up with the

phone numbers and emails of a whole bunch of A-listers this is okay so we talked about this earlier this week I'm so worry that this is in your hands? Holy shit. I have Bono's phone number in my phone. And I just don't. It's just stupid.

I shouldn't have this. We haven't done anything wrong. No. It was purchased legally through an auction. But we have information we shouldn't have. Absolutely not. We have no, we have no business

having some of these people's contact information, email addresses, addresses, phone numbers, et cetera. Funny notes. Weird specific quirks for people. You know what was an upsetting one to me was Chevy Chase.

Chevy Chase had like 16 different contact numbers. And I was like, nobody needs to reach Chevy Chase that badly in 2010. Like this was, it was, I think it was made in 2010. These are all between 2008 to 2012, this information. So almost all these numbers I assume

are no longer act. People probably hate him so much. They just keep leaking his phone number and he has to get new ones. I can't believe. I feel like it's crazy that you have this because you're probably one of the dangerous people on earth to have this information. But I love the fact that you took the information and put it in your phone. Like they're now your contact. I'm scraping it.

Yeah. Because the thing is, it doesn't. The B's in his phone and it's like one person he knows. Is absolutely insane. I said it there too, because his wife was at the top of it and then it was Bono below it and then I was just like this is a really stupid B section in my phone. That's so funny. There are more celebrity contacts in my phone now than there are people who know as contacts than my phone. Who's the most famous celebrity contact you have?

I don't even know how to answer that. Let me. Let me read through the bees. Let me read through the bees. My bees are pretty loaded. Ben Affleck, Bono Bradley Cooper. Dude, this is, I, dude. Casey Affleck, David Arquette, David Ayer, Don Cheatle,

Drew Bloodsoe. What? What? I have two Clooney numbers. You don't have any Celtics, do you? Henry Winkler. Wow. J.J. Abrams, Joe Buck.

Joe Buck. Do you have Will on that? No, no, he wasn't there. Got three numbers for John Williams, Lance Armstrong. strong. Michael Bay. John Williams the composer?

Yes. Wow. Sandra Bullock, Scott Kahn. I can't believe they didn't wipe this drive. It's crazy. We should not have it. Also, it feels illegal

that we have it. But it's not. We bought it legally. He is legally owns it. I know. It just feels that way. Here's the problem, though. Is it blue screens every 15 minutes? Sometimes back to back.

And I think it's, I think it's an easy fix. So I've got, I've ordered stuff in so I could go in and repair it, I believe. Dude, if, if you can repair a blue screened laptop, but you can't plug a video card in, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, my head's gonna explode. It's just a simple little battery thing. It's like a CMOS or something like that. Yeah, CMO. It looks like a. What?

Seimos. Seamus. Seamus, yeah. I just need to replace that, I think. And that seems pretty easy to do as far as. This is crazy because I, after the last company ended, I realized that one of my personal Xboxes was at work. I think I'd used it to get my, that overkill footage that we talked about back

of the day where everyone thought it was a lie. I brought in my, an old Xbox of mine to record it. and I couldn't get that Xbox back from the company after it shut down without them wiping it. Interesting. Your Xbox? Yeah, I was like, it's my personal Xbox

that I brought in and left there and I'm like, oh yeah, well, it's because it's at work now, we can't give that back to you because it might have sensitive stuff on it. It's like, it's mine. I think this is what happened. When I booted it up the first time, it said like, hey, this will not fucking load. Something is wrong.

and I had to look in it gave me options do you want to test this part of the computer and I test all the things and then that's where I figured out I was able to diagnose the problem didn't work and so then I did the classic

okay well I'm just gonna turn it on and turn it off again and it did the same thing and then it sat on that screen for a long time and then out of nowhere it just kicked into the window screen so I'm guessing

whoever turned it on saw that went oh this is like broken and then it eventually worked and I couldn't believe leave it. Yeah, that's insane. They should have shredded that tribe.

It's very funny is when I opened it, there's a trash can that had stuff in it, but wasn't deleted, and all it was was a duplicate copy of the information. So like, this person clearly accidentally made two of them and was like, I don't need two on my screen. It's so wild to have this

information and to know that we shouldn't do anything with it. Absolutely. Right, right. But the possibility I want to know if this is Bono's number, but I also don't want to bother Bono. I'm, it's, man, I'm so glad I didn't happen upon this information when I was younger. You know, like if I was like 35 and I stumbled upon this, I would have reacted very differently to 32, Jeff.

It's fucking dangerous. Yeah, I know. I know. Am I going to be in my deathbed and be like, I should have called, I should have called John Williams two, phone number two, just to know, like I got, I feel like I got it, but I also don't want to, but I got it, but I don't, but. Well, what you do is you call Ben Affleck first. When that number's not in service, you call Casey Affleck and see if you can get Ben's number.

I'm kind of scared to call Casey Affleck. He seems like a real grumpy guy. Is he the grumpiest person in your context, do you think? No, James Woods, I think. James Woods is not a, oh boy, he's the best bad guy. I was the closest. I came to doing any of this because fuck James Woods

was texting the number I have to ask about if there's any new kingdom hearts info that could drop just any voice after work for it. Oh, Hades, right? When's John Carpenter's Vampires 2 coming out already? I'm sick of a way. Oh my God. So that is part of it.

The other layer to this, and this is where like I wanted to talk about on the show because I, we need to find this. It had a list of scripts that I'm assuming the company that they either worked for or owned had acquired but hadn't most of these movies never came out some of them did but like 95% of them didn't one of the ones that did it was very funny where it was like the most simple description but one of the ones that did not come out that I've shared

every person I've shared with fucking loves because it is so ridiculous is a script called the fishing magician. And the plot of the fish and magician is a mobster is hiding out from the mob and the FBI and they're trying to live like a simple quiet life. However, they enter a fishing tournament and their local small community

and gain worldwide attention when they catch the largest bass in history during this tournament, which I guess is threatening to spoil like getting his name in the press and the media and like people will track him down now and find out where he is. That's the plot of the movie. There's no internet footprint for this thing. If you are listening and happen to know insanely somebody who wrote the Fisher Magician,

please let me know. Please reach out to me. I want to read the script so badly. It was written in January of 2001 and then revised in October of 2001, probably due to events that happened in September of 2001. and there's no other mention. I need the fishing magician in my life. We have to acquire more equipment like this.

Oh yeah. Absolutely. I mean, it's sort of following the thread of the finish the fight with who be gold rings. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But this has been a accidental gold mine of just absurdity in ways that could not have been anticipated. Would you say this? Maybe we're entering into our accidental gold mining. era. It could be.

Could be. Like, I don't know what did. Do we like, I don't know. I'm scared to even like suggest, like, do we just call one of these numbers at the end of each other seven to say like, hey, or? Yeah, cool James Woods. I think James Woods would not be happy about being called. I can say you got to call. I mean, every state has different recording laws. Yeah.

I don't know. That's the sugar. I can maybe call him offline and then report. back what happened. Yeah. Just call him and then say, hey, James, this is a, this is Andrew. You're on a recorded line. He's the worst. I don't want to talk to him. No, I don't know why you'd want to talk to him either. He seems insufferable. What if you just cooled him and made you a lighthouse noise at him? Oh, I don't want to. That's too much power. Using it for good and evil. I like it. I'd argue that'd be used for good.

Yeah. Hey, uh, before we wrap up, uh, I wanted to pitch you guys on something. yesterday Emily and I played a little unsanctioned hooky she had a day off from work and I only, after I streamed, we didn't have any regulation business to attend to. So we hopped in the car and we drove down

to New Bronfels and we went to Schlitterbond and I had the most fun I've had in I can't remember how long and you can buy a fast pass now which allows you to skip the entire line to go to any ride you want to go to and we just, we went there We got there at noon.

We just did the entire, we did every ride on the west side, because it's split into two sides. We did every ride on the west side, which is old, and we were in our car and headed home by 3 p.m. It was the most fucking fun,

and I think that we should go as a group at some point. I want to go. Can we do the Dill extension when we go so I can come? Yeah. I don't ride on the rides. You don't see why we can't take the electronic robot into the water park?

Well, I don't think he can actually go on. A water park? Oh, no. Okay. Yeah, it's all like two two brides. I see. I was I was thinking amusement park. We could put you in a sandwich bag. Yeah. If you put me in a zip lock, I could go around. Throw me down the slide in a zip-book bag,

and I'll just record that perspective. There's a couple. We'd lose you for sure. I went down one. It turned me up. It turned me upside down and then put me about three feet in the air and then slammed me face down into the ground and then dumped me into a pool. when I got up, my sunglasses were gone. I was dazed.

I didn't know where I was. I was confused. I was snot and fucking water were coming out of my nose. And the lady was like, you can't stand here. And I was like, I don't know where here is. And Emily had to like walk me away. And I'm like, my glasses. And the lady looked at Emily and she goes, he'll never find him.

Nobody ever finds their glasses here. And then I were just gone. Like Mexico all over again. Yeah, kind of. But worse. It was definitely more jarring. Wait, how many days after your pukechid? shit was this?

This was yesterday. I puked on Saturday night. So, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Wednesday, yeah. Your water park safe. I was park safe, for sure. Yeah. I mean, listen, if I had to be two weeks away from diarrhea to get in the water, I'd never swim again.

That's just a medical impossibility from where I am in life right now. I'm afraid that sign's not going to fit with my lifestyle. Anyway, I think we should before the summer's up, because it, It's also seasonal Schlitterbond, so it'll close at the end of the month, I think probably for the season.

So we've got a couple of weeks left. We should try to sneak out one. Maybe if you guys have a day off from 100% eat one day or something, we could do it. Yeah, I think it's a great idea. Maybe in like a week or two, we can make something happen and go. I think that'd be fun.

Okay. That was my pitch. Hell yeah. Who do you want to go down the slides with entry? Do I have my chromatic aberration mod installed? No, it's version of Dill. Normal? Hmm.

Well, in my head, Nick rides down water slides with his hat, so maybe I could go under the hat and get some protection. I do do that. I wouldn't want... You're a wet hat guy? Yeah, I'm a wet hat guy. I have a specific wet hat. Really? Yeah.

I didn't even know that. You just struck me as you're always a hat guy in my head, so, like, of course you would still... Is it a hat designed for wetness, or is it just your designated hat that can get wet? No, it's a designated hat. and it's probably nearing the end of its life cycle. How many designated hats do you have? Oh. How many hats do you have?

I only have like 12 hats, I think. And of the 12th? How many of it doesn't do you? I probably keep seven in the rotation. Depends on what sports teams playing where. Do you have a wedding hat? I never got a wedding hat. You know what?

Maybe if you guys were near vows, yeah. Yeah. I'm in for other people's weddings. It's not even yours. I didn't think about yours. I could get one. Emily got one for Gavin's wedding. A fastener.

Isn't that what they were called? Oh yeah, that's right. All the women wore cool. All the ladies had fessners. Cool hats. I was getting my haircut for my wedding. And I sat down. I was like, this is a wedding haircut.

And he was like, oh, cool. And then halfway through the haircut, he was like, so whose wedding is it? And I was like, oh, mine. And he was like, oh, shit. And he like, suddenly was like. pressure for him oh you know who wasn't in the

celebrity Rolodex unfortunately who? James Buckley that's a shame oh that's a shame I just ask Gavin you can get him added

yeah Gavin has it right you guys do you guys think animals ever get concussions oh big time yeah absolutely because I was watching some TikToks the other day of some goats

like whack and shit you know and I was wondering like does an animal ever accidentally like a dog like run into a hit a wall or a corner of a table and get it and be like and do like the human you know and then like and get a concussion. Like has a bird

been ever been knocked senseless and knocked out and then wakes up on the ground all groggy and is like what the fuck happens to me? What's one of my feathers? And they just fly away all you know what I mean? Like you never see animals I see people get hit by doors and shit all the time and get knocked out

I do it a lot but you know I just never see like you don't ever think of like a buffalo walking, turning around too fast, hitting a tree, knocking itself out and then waking up

10 minutes later in a days. I've seen birds do it on windows. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that's, I think that's a big thing. They often don't get back up. Yeah, I see them not get back up a lot.

Yeah. You think when a bird is rocked, it sees little people flooding above its head? The, like, you know, you're talking about like sheep

and in Rams and, and what are like goats and stuff to do like the headbutt stuff. I bet they, like they do that stuff so much like the headbutting. I bet they get concussed occasionally, but I bet it's so few and far between.

I bet your average dog probably gets more concussion than sheep or whatever. Well, yeah, it's just crazy because, you know, like I've had four or five concussions in my life. I've had enough that I can't remember the exact number. Yeah. And it was, yeah,

they were all pretty young too, honestly. And in a pretty short window, maybe like six year window. But, uh, oh, the concussion made me forget what I was talking about.

Well, maybe that's a good place to end it, Jeff. Thanks for listening to another episode of the Regulation Podcast. This was episode 118. Hopefully you aren't concussed and will remember to tell a friend about the regulation podcast and all the mirth and the joy and the wonderment and the learning that we do here and all of the fellowship. We love you so much. We'll see you next time.

next time will be episode 119. You better fucking be there. Bye bye. I emailed George Clooney, but his email was no longer active because it leaked is part of the Sony hacks in 2015. Bye.
