I will say though I was channel surfing league pass last night and there was a Pelicans Clippers game And I thought that fuck it. I turned it on and I watched the third quarter Holy shit Kawai looks pretty good He doesn't look like the Kawai of 2019, but he looks pretty good. James Harden looked great, I thought, really slim down. But holy shit, Zion looked better than ever. He is back. He looks meaner. He was more aggressive than I remember him being. He was like it.
Starting point is 00:00:56 I I feel like the whole world has kind of forgotten about Zion Williamson because of his on court and off court issues and his inability to stay on court because of his conditioning court and off court issues and his inability to stay on court because of his conditioning and his injuries. But he is back and he looked fucking great last night. I have a feeling that his days in New Orleans are numbered. I think it's I just don't think that there's any way that that relationship gets repaired in such a way that it flourishes again. So I think they'll probably move on for
Starting point is 00:01:23 him, which is probably the best thing for him and for them. Clearly not the place he needs to be. But world should be on Zion watch. He looks he looks pretty fucking good if that dude stays healthy. I don't know. Anyway, because we're recording out of sequence today, I thought we would catch up on some email. I haven't even looked at the inbox in a while, and I've been asking you guys to send e-mails. So we're going to start off.
Starting point is 00:01:44 I'm not even looking. I'm not even proofing it ahead of time. I'm just going to dive right in with you right now. This is from William who used to be a Mavericks fan. He says, I thought you would enjoy the results of a Mavericks fan survey recently held the results show how much the fan base is upset. I'm gonna check this out. The DLLS 2025 Mavericks fan survey 5,320 responses. So it's a pretty meaty survey. That's more than most political surveys get. When did you become a Mavericks fan 40% said early 90s Dirk Nash era. Okay. So they've
Starting point is 00:02:19 been around for a while. How many Mavericks games did you watch? The largest piece of the pie is 31.6% Followed very closely by 31. So about 70% watch around 30% of the games. I wonder how that plays for other teams. Like I wonder how that compares against the Celtics. I watch every game, but I know I'm atypical in that regard. Here we go. How has the Donchich trade affected your fandom so far? 45% say no longer a fan or reconsidering fandom. 34.5% say much less engaged. 13% say less engaged. Only what looks like about 8% say no change and maybe 2% say more engaged.
Starting point is 00:03:07 How has the I love that this exists. How has the Donchich trade affected how often you watch Mavs games? 84.7% say they watch less often now. Feel free to elaborate on how and or the Donchich trade has changed your Mavericks fandom. There were 3400 responses. I'm just going to read the first nine. They only show the top nine responses. So I'll just read those to you, okay?
Starting point is 00:03:31 And I'm just going top down. Fuck Nico, fire Nico. Nico Harrison is of course the general manager who made the trade. Betrayed, betrayed, fuck Nico, betrayal, fuck Nico. Fuck Nico. Betrayal. Fuck Nico. Fire Nico. Had me very torn in supporting the team. Conflicted.
Starting point is 00:03:51 If the organization showed more class and thanking him for his service and just kept the PR tight to focusing on winning, in a new direction I might have been more supportive. I feel betrayed and let down by the classlessness of it all." So a little meatier than a fuck Nico or fire Nico response, but same essential vibe. Based on known reasons for the Doncich trade, which of the following statements most align with your opinion?
Starting point is 00:04:17 These are the three options. The Doncich trade was justifiable as is. The percentage of that pie is so small it doesn't show a number figure. The Doncich trade was justifiable if Dallas the percentage of that pie is so small it doesn't show a number figure. The Donchich trade was justifiable if Dallas had received more in return 14.2 percent say agree with that. The Donchich trade was not justifiable in any context 84.7 percent Jesus Christ. Anyway that survey goes on for quite a while we were just scratching the surface with it but pretty fucking fascinating. Thank you for sending that my way, William.
Starting point is 00:04:47 Next email is TV show recommendations from Chris. I hope this finds you well. As this email last week, you asked for TV show recommendations. I imagine that most of your other emails will cover common enough recommendations. Ooh, I like this. I like where we're going with this, Chris.
Starting point is 00:05:02 Maybe you're an avid anime nerd. I doubt it. You are correct. I am not. Maybe you haven't avid anime nerd. I doubt it. You are correct. I am not. Maybe you haven't seen any since the early 90s Dragon Ball. Haven't seen that. Or somewhere in between. Definitely not in between.
Starting point is 00:05:11 So I have two recommendations. Okay, I'll take an anime recommendation. I can't promise that I'll enjoy it, but I'm not above giving it a try. Friarurin, Beyond Journey's End. Friarurin is a fantasy series that begins many decades after the greatest, most legendary adventuring party slew the greatest evil around.
Starting point is 00:05:30 It follows an elf named Friarin, who by nature of being an elf is functionally immortal, living in a land of short-lived humans who also happen to be a part of that legendary party. Some of the major themes explored are death, loss, and grief, missed opportunity, and living in the moment moment and learning to appreciate it for what it is. That sounds like positive themes. Sounds like a slightly more grown up version of Caillou
Starting point is 00:05:53 is teaching us life lessons not to oversell it. But this show topped every single chart possible and is considered one of the greatest anime of all time. And it only came out in twenty twenty four. There are twenty four twenty three minute episodes and it's on Netflix. Wow. I've really never heard of this. Personally, I watched it in Japanese subtitles, but there is an English version. You know what? I'm going to check out the first episode of Freerun Beyond Journey's End. Let me put let me write that down.
Starting point is 00:06:18 I'm not going to write it down physically, but I'm going to make a note of it. OK, I just saw a note for an episode I want to cover that I'd forgotten I wrote down. It's pretty funny. Okay. Next recommendation is Pluto. Pluto I'm recommending because it falls pretty squarely into the type of show you describe liking. I would describe it as a retrofuturism noir mystery.
Starting point is 00:06:39 Okay. You've piqued my interest slightly. It follows a detective. You've piqued my interest slightly more It follows a detective, you've piqued my interest slightly more, investigating a murder, even more of a human, more so in a world filled with advanced robots. Yes, yes. Think like robot marriages, kids coming home from work after doing the robot job. The robots aren't supposed to be able to kill humans.
Starting point is 00:06:59 Yes, this is very Isaac Asimov. But the murder seemingly has no traces of human involvement. Yes, I robot. Yes, I'm aware of this story. Again, it's a mystery, so I don't want to give too much of it away, but it's very good. OK, I'll watch an Isaac Asimovish anime about robots, maybe or maybe not killing humans, even though it goes against the three protocols. Well, I hope you might look into at least one of these, dude. I'm going to look into both of them.
Starting point is 00:07:23 We're right, Pluto down as well. Pluto also on Netflix. OK, great, great. I'm going to look into both of them. We're right. Pluto down as well. Pluto also on Netflix. Okay, great. Great. Great. Great. Great.
Starting point is 00:07:32 I can watch both of them. Thank you so much, Chris. I'll get back to you on an episode at some point in the future. This is from Arthur. How much money have I made people by watching an ad? For example, based on the YouTube CPM, cost per 1000 impressions, advertisers pay between one to $10 per 1000 views, meaning a single ad might be worth 0.00, like one 1000th to one 100th of a cent. But CPMs are different on different sites.
Starting point is 00:08:03 There's no way to know how many ads I've seen in my life. See if that gets you thinking. That's an interesting thought. I wonder how you would extrapolate it because if you wanna, I'm probably a little bit older than you because I'm just gonna assume I'm a little bit older than you, but I've been around since the 70s
Starting point is 00:08:21 and I've been assaulted with ads my entire life to the point that they're so second nature to me that I genuinely don't mind them in the way that a lot of younger generations do. Like millennials, I feel like it's probably, I don't think this is a good thing that I feel this way by the way, but I think it's a very boomer gen X thing to be pretty okay with commercials in the grand scheme of things. And in some cases, even like them. But I feel like millennial and Gen Z
Starting point is 00:08:49 and then I assume Gen Alpha after them have especially millennials really learned to hate commercials and being assaulted by them at all times. And they've definitely increased in volume. Certainly not defending commercials. I just think generationally we were conditioned to be okay with them more.
Starting point is 00:09:06 So I've been looking at like television commercials for 49 years, but magazine ads, billboards, like think about all the different places you are advertised to. And there is, you're right, there's gotta be an algorithm to determine when you buy a billboard in downtown Los Angeles for three months what the return on your investment is, right?
Starting point is 00:09:30 How many eyeballs are going to see it, which they can definitely estimate because they know traffic flow problems. They can say like, you know, 17 million people are going to see your ad across 90 days. Therefore, we're going to charge you $28,000 to put your Netflix ad up or whatever. How many of those eyeballs turn into customer? Yeah, I don't know, it's complicated, it's interesting. I would like to know the answer too. I'm gonna make a note of that. I don't know that I'm gonna be able to find an answer
Starting point is 00:09:58 for you there, Arthur, but I think it's a fucking awesome question and a great thought starter, and it's not something that I had ever considered before. And now that you bring it to my attention, I have a feeling I'm going to be acutely aware of every advertisement that I see over the next 48 hours or so, and it's gonna drive me nuts.
Starting point is 00:10:17 I'm gonna look into it and I'll get back to you on air. This one is from Robert. Said, hey, Jeff, first I just wanna say I'm a big fan of all the shows. Been a comment leaver for years. Oh, thank you, Robert. But anyway, just wanted to say thank you for highlighting Las Vegas and its history
Starting point is 00:10:31 as it's my birthplace and hometown. I love hearing the history of my city and knowing that all the listeners now know how special the place is. I genuinely love Las Vegas, Robert, and I like everything that I have experienced in Las Vegas, which is sparse to be sure. Like I have spent time outside the strip,
Starting point is 00:10:51 I have explored the city a little bit, I spent some time going to art galleries one trip and talking to some local artists and went to kind of some of the like the hipper areas and of course checked out downtown and been to a ton of off the strip tiki bars with people that used to give a shit about that kind of stuff. And I just got to say, like from every dive bar to
Starting point is 00:11:12 baseball card shop, to like hip restaurant I've been to tucked away to some crazy little art gallery in a strip mall somewhere. I think I think it's awesome. I know you're a sports fan and shared a bit about somewhere. I think it's awesome. I know you're a sports fan and shared a bit about how we are in our sports era, but something you may or may not know is that the AAA baseball team is the longest running sports organization in Nevada.
Starting point is 00:11:33 The Las Vegas Stars Baseball Club, now Las Vegas Aviators, put its roots down in 1983 and started as an affiliate of the Padres. The Stars won five division titles and two championships in their six years. It's been a bumpy road since then for the team, but things are looking up. I am currently the digital marketing manager for the team
Starting point is 00:11:51 and have been working for the organization since I turned 14. Holy shit. And was the Bat Boy. Oh wow. Talk about working your way up from the bottom. Not that there's a bottom to being a Bat Boy. Being a Bat Boy is fucking awesome
Starting point is 00:12:04 and I would consider it to be a prized position, but you know what I mean. Worked my way, oh, here you are talking about it yourself. Worked my way up doing various jobs within, and now I'm in the front office. I consider myself very lucky to be in the position I'm in. Baseball was my first love, and I'm truly blessed to be one of the gears that helps the machine run.
Starting point is 00:12:19 I know you don't frequent Vegas, but I do. I don't go as much as I used to, but there was a period where I was going four or five times a year for sure. Half of it for work, half of it for fun. But if you ever find yourself in town for summer league or at all during the baseball season, it would be my pleasure to invite you
Starting point is 00:12:33 and any guests to the Las Vegas ballpark for a game. Are you kidding? Of course I'm gonna take you up on that, Robert. Oh my God. I would love, even if you're in town on an off day, if you'd like to take a tour of the ballpark, I can, ah, Robert, you are a legend. I would absolutely love to take you up on this.
Starting point is 00:12:51 Maybe even talk to you a little bit about your life in baseball. Cause I'm gonna tell you right now, Robert, you have piqued my interest, obviously in AAA baseball in Las Vegas. And any excuse for me to go to Vegas is an excuse I'm looking for finding, right? But I'm interested in you, Robert.
Starting point is 00:13:11 You started as a bat boy, and now you work in the front office of this organization. Here's my request. I will come to Las Vegas at some point in the future. I'll try to tack this on to another event. If you will agree to sit down with me, you and I Zoom recorder, two microphones at the stadium and let me interview you about your life for this podcast. Please say yes. Email me back.
Starting point is 00:13:41 OK, next email is from Drew. I was listening to the most recent episode of Good Morning Gustavo and I felt seen when you were talking about listening to sports. I'm one of those guys too, especially with baseball. When you and Eric said it's a pastime, it's true. I will pay the $5 a month just to listen to the MLB app and hear them call the game, mainly because of the nostalgia.
Starting point is 00:13:59 I would hang out in my grandparents' garage with my dad and grandpa and we would just listen to Pat Hughes and Ron Santo call the Cubs games. Oh man, that's awesome. I just got a Ron Santo card the other day, a vintage card. There is just something about it where you have these people who've been working together for years calling every game. Ain't that the truth? I grew up listening to Harry Carrey and Steve Stone a lot, you know, just talk about chemistry. It's the same reason why I like regulation. Oh, fuck, thank you so much, Drew. That's incredibly kind of you. There is rapport and detail that gets added
Starting point is 00:14:29 that you don't get watching the game. In the summertime, I would rather go out to the garage and listen to the game than watch it on TV because it just hits different. Anyway, this is a long drawn out way of saying it would be awesome for you and the rest of the regulation crew to call a baseball game or something.
Starting point is 00:14:42 Maybe throw it on a Falcon Only poll and see if anyone else feels this way. I would love to do that, Drew. I would absolutely love to do that. And I'll try to remember to bring it up to the guys. I've been wanting to live stream commentating on a basketball game, but I think baseball would be even more fun.
Starting point is 00:14:57 Yeah, I think baseball makes more sense for it actually. And, oh man, that's a really cool idea. And I totally, I'm right there with you. There is just something, maybe it's, I think you might be right with the nostalgia factor of it, because when I, my childhood, I feel like was littered with guys sitting in their backyard on lawn chairs, the exact same like,
Starting point is 00:15:21 that's the exact same like aluminum with like the woven fabric with like red and white stripes or whatever, lawn chairs, just drinking a beer and listening to a little transistor radio and just, oh man, I can just see it as clear as day. I feel like that's how about 70% of the old dudes in America spent every Saturday and Sunday that they could sitting in a garage or in the backyard Or like standing in a workbench tinkering on a carburetor Just listening to the Cubs and the Cardinals play or something. You know, I mean, yeah Bob said I know this might be a little late, but I just listened to the most recent episode of so alright
Starting point is 00:16:01 There's an interesting piece of Vegas history about a casino known as Jerry's Nuggets and the playing cards that were made there. I collect vintage and designer playing cards. No shit. And for whatever reason, the design for the Jerry's Nuggets card has been copied and redone more times than I can count, even to the fact that on the resellers market, people attempt to forge original Jerry's Nuggets playing cards. Anyway, just an interesting piece of card history. And if you ever get a chance to look it up, I think it's interesting. I'll attach a photo of some of my collection and an uncut sheet done by Ralph Stedman, which I'm sure you're familiar with. Then he sent
Starting point is 00:16:36 some pictures that you can't see. Oh, wow. There's the Ralph Stedman ones. Yeah, I definitely recognize that. Those are cool. It's very like fear and loathing in Las Vegas. Oh, those are playing cards. See, he sent me a picture of some shelves with a bunch of actually with a bunch of LPs on it and some board games at the bottom. But then what I thought were VHS tapes, but they're not. They're just tons and tons and tons of different versions of playing cards. That's wild. I don't even know that that was a thing people collected.
Starting point is 00:17:04 But of course they do. That's really cool. Let't even know that that was a thing people collected, but of course they do. That's really cool. Let's look up the Jerry's Nugget cards real fast. Jerry, you do it, let's play along at home too. You look it up too. Jerry's Nugget playing cards. Oh, well those are nice. They're like a blue and white box with a,
Starting point is 00:17:23 I don't know how to describe it, very Vegas-y 60s cowboy font. Says Jerry's Nuggets along the spine. And then what looks like an oiled Derrick with as a logo mirrored on the front of the box with just Jerry's on the top of it. I'm not doing a good job of describing it, but they are definitely cool cards.
Starting point is 00:17:42 And I'm sure these are modern Jerry's Nugget playing cards. I'm fucking buying these. I'm buying these right now on Amazon. You've made me want these. I'm placing the order while we're talking right now. $24.90. I will get a pair of the blue and the red. I got two packs of the Jerry's Nugget cards.
Starting point is 00:18:04 It's gonna be here for a week. Wait a minute. Thank you, Ralph. I'm now aware of and very excited to own Jerry's Nugget reproduction cards and I can't wait to get them in my hands. This one's from Jake. Hey, Jeff, I heard you mentioned Ski Week when you were at Disneyland in the latest episode of regulation and I figured I'd provide some context when I was growing up in the early 2000s in San Diego it used to be only a few days off for President's Day a Few days off for President's Day which created an odd schedule for school a lot of time It was a three-day weekend three days of school then another three-day weekend. Wow when I was a kid we got One day off for President's Day,
Starting point is 00:18:46 whatever day President's Day was. I felt like it was always on a Monday. The problem there is attendance. Lots of families just take their kids out of school for those three days to make a nine day long vacation. Well, I can certainly understand that, which creates a ton of absences and schools get funding based on attendance.
Starting point is 00:19:01 I have a feeling they're not going to anymore. The solution was to create ski week, taking three days out of summer and giving it to everyone in February. This way the kids get a longer vacation, only losing three days out of the multiple months of summer and the schools lose less money. A win-win if you ask me.
Starting point is 00:19:17 Yeah, I think that's cool. And honestly, I bet the kids appreciate that three days in the middle of the school year more than they appreciate it tacked onto a summer that isn't gonna feel any less long, cutting it off three days in the middle of the school year more than they appreciate it tacked onto a summer that isn't going to feel any less long. Cutting it off three days early. I think it's wild that you guys had that much time off for President's Day, though. That's, that's interesting. Very cool. Got another TV movie recommendations email. Here we go. Hey there, Jeff. This is from Philip. This is in response to you asking for recommendations. I know you're into music or at least somewhat.
Starting point is 00:19:46 That music is probably the single most important form of entertainment to me in my life. I would pick music over video games, television, movies, books, all of it. I'm more into music than all that stuff put together. Probably. I would think. I'm not sure if the interest also applies to movie soundtracks, but you know what? It doesn't honestly But Disney Plus put out a John Williams documentary in November that I found super interesting didn't realize just how much stuff
Starting point is 00:20:11 He's worked on during his career. That is That's a documentary that piques my interest. Thank you for recommending that to me I do have Disney Plus right now and I was not aware that there was a John Williams documentary But I definitely grew up with John Williams Soundtracks, so I will definitely check that out. Thank you. The Walking Dead, the ones who live. I don't know if you're a Walking Dead fan or if you've dropped off at some point during the original show's run. I dropped off. I dropped off around the time that Rick disappeared. I don't want to make any spoilers for those of you who watch it and maybe aren't that far into the series, although it's been out for a hundred years,
Starting point is 00:20:48 so I don't know why you wouldn't be. But I read the comic further, I think, because Millie was really into the comic, but that's where I fell off of the TV show. Anyway, The Walking Dead, The Ones Who Live is easily my favorite season of Walking Dead ever made, and the fourth episode is probably a top 10 Walking Dead episodes ever.
Starting point is 00:21:03 It's a limited series, only six episodes and not a super big commitment. If you do check it out, I would recommend at least making sure you know what happens in the main Walking Dead show up to season nine, episode five. OK, I'll look into that. Halo season two. I have not watched season two of Halo yet. I was all set to sit down and get started with it. And then they announced they got canceled.
Starting point is 00:21:24 And something about, I'm dealing with that right now with The Recruit. I'm in the middle of season one of The Recruit on Netflix and I'm really, really enjoying it. And then as soon as Emily and I are like, yeah, we got something here in this recruit. This is a fun show. We like this.
Starting point is 00:21:38 I read Netflix cancels it after season two. So it's so demoralizing. I'm gonna stick it out with The Recruit just so I can get as much of it as I can, but I gotta remember to go back and watch Halo season two. Also part of the problem is that Millie and I watched season one together. You know, we do most Halo things together in our lives
Starting point is 00:21:56 and she's off at college now, so I wouldn't wanna watch it without her. So maybe when she comes home for break, we'll try to cram a couple episodes in. Thanks for the reminder that it's out there though. This is from Jared. Regarding the So Alright episode about photos and cameras, if talking purely about frames or images taken, Gavin and Dan, perhaps especially the latter, would be two of the most photographed people on earth, right? I would assume so. That's a good point. Yeah. Dan specifically might be. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:23 I wonder how it would compare to a more mainstream actor or even perhaps a more indie actor. Well, if we're just going by frames. Yeah, I don't know. But then again, it's like, is is that even enough to compete against the run of, say, a Bob Barker who was on television every fucking day for 40 years? You know, five days a week, or a news anchor, you know, who was the longest running news? Let's look who's the longest running news anchor? What's like longest running news anchor of all time. Don Alhart, the longest career as a television news broadcaster is 58 years and one day it was
Starting point is 00:23:03 achieved by Don Alhart as verified in Rochester, New York on 6 June 2024. He retired from 13 Wham ABC in Rochester, New York. So there you go. Don Alhart was on probably five or six days a week for 58 years like, anyway, in the same sense, then I suppose there must also just be YouTuber streamers or influencers who have an absurd number of frames taken of them, even at 30 frames a second. Yeah, no, that's a really good point. That's interesting.
Starting point is 00:23:32 I hadn't considered Gavin and Dan and the slow mo guys, but Dan has definitely been filmed in a lot of fucking frames over the course of his life. And that's just the stuff they show you. That doesn't even count the gay porn stuff they filmed together or behind the scenes, you know. Here is an email from Alex. Maybe this will be our final email of the episode. if they show you that doesn't even count the gay porn stuff they filmed together or behind the scenes, you know? Here is an email from Alex. Maybe this will be our final email of the episode.
Starting point is 00:23:49 Yeah, I think so. That's probably pretty good. I was re-listening to some old, so all right episodes. Oh my God, re-listening, thank you. Jesus Christ, I appreciate that. In the largest, longest episode, you mentioned that you lived in Beaverton, Oregon during your early childhood.
Starting point is 00:24:01 I live in Beaverton. Do you remember where in Beaverton you lived? I totally understand if this is too invasive. It's not invasive at all. You can't dox a house I lived in 43 years ago. Your work has brought me a lot of joy over the years and I look forward to Regulations Saul Wright and Anima every week.
Starting point is 00:24:17 I can't wait for The Break Show to come back. You've also been monumental in my own sobriety journey. Oh, thank you so much. I will be sober for two years on March 19th. Congratulations, Alex. That, thank you so much. I will be sober for two years on March 19th. Congratulations, Alex. That's a fucking phenomenal achievement. Seriously, you better celebrate yourself on March 19th, motherfucker,
Starting point is 00:24:34 because I'll be celebrating you. We'll all be celebrating you. Seeing your journey really helped and continues to help motivate me. You have no idea how much that touches me. Thank you so much, Alex. Thank you for everything. Thank you for everything, Alex. Thank you for getting sober and taking care of yourself and believing in yourself. To answer your Beaverton question, it's not invasive at all. I don't remember exactly where I lived. However, maybe...
Starting point is 00:24:58 I don't know. The year that I went and moved to Portland for a summer with Gavin and the family way, way, way back, this is probably ten years ago now.
