Hello, and welcome to another episode of the Regulation Podcast.

This is episode 67.

My name is Jeff Ramsey.

With me, as always, Andrew Panton, Nick Schwartz, Gavin Free, Eric Badour.

Today is a Gavin episode.

Gavin, take it away.

Hello.

Back to you, Jeff.

Thank you for listening to the Regulation Podcast, apparently.

It's pretty good.

God damn it.

I'm like the one in volleyball that just goes straight up with it in front of the net.

Gavin turned yes and to just a mirror.

He just bounced right back at me.

Isn't that every player in volleyball?

Isn't it just part of volleyball?

He's the setter, but Jeff was also the setter.

So instead of bump, set, spike, it was just set, set, nothing.

Set, set, set, floor.

Oh, Christ.

I got nothing today.

Oh, I was trying to give it to Gat.

I was trying to smoothly transition into Gavin.

Then I figured Gavin, being the professional that he is with his 10,000 hours of experience under his belt, would intuit that and grab it and just run with an awesome episode of hilarious.

You just said you have nothing.

Where are you calling out his professionalism?

It is true.

No.

To come with nothing.

I came in.

I got nothing.

Wow, man.

Cool.

Hell yeah.

I'm fine.

You know what?

I'll make something up right now.

What do you think the most?

Here we go.

Here we go.

I saw a snake.

You saw a snake?

I saw a snake.

Weren't you hoping that you'd never see a snake again or something?

Yeah,

I had invented snake follows.

Is this real?

Because you just this open with, I need to make something up.

Yeah, is this real?

No, that's weird.

I'm just looking through my notes.

It just kept slipping into my mind.

I had no notes.

You said you had no notes.

I always have notes.

I just don't have anything fucking awesome.

Here are my notes.

I found an infographic for the most expensive materials on earth.

I was on the fence on whether that would be worth talking about with you guys or not.

I didn't consider that to be a material.

So even though it's in my notes, I didn't consider it something.

That was like a filler if something came up.

Then I was doing some research on something I write about whether I was faster than a bird or not.

And I did find one bird that I'm definitely faster than.

And that bird had a lot of funny nicknames.

I was probably going to bring that up, but I didn't feel like that was lead the podcast.

material.

So I was going to bury it somewhere 15 minutes or so in.

You see what I mean?

Then I do, all right.

Here's one good one that I, that's a little further down that I missed.

The other morning, I woke up with an idea in my head.

Okay.

Okay.

This I think is a material.

And I just had it too far down the middle.

The other day I woke up.

I woke up with an idea in my head.

I was laughing as I had the idea, as I woke up from it.

I immediately thought, I'm going to forget this idea.

Let me write down the essentials of it and then I'll go back to sleep.

Forgot about that until just this moment when I see it kind of buried halfway in my notes because I woke up in the middle of the night to write it down.

And so I didn't put it at the top of the notes.

And I have no idea what this fucking means.

I had invented a game.

Maybe you guys can help me out.

Okay.

The game is called Dish, Dish, Clean Piss.

And then if it, then it's,

here are the only other two notes I have.

Okay.

This

bad dish, dirty piss, or good dish, no piss.

Well, so what immediately comes to mind is that you're cleaning these dishes with your piss, but I don't know how...

Are you able to just piss on command like that?

I don't know.

This was a game that I had envisioned that we would play together in the office.

I remember that looking at it.

And then these were the notes that were going to help jog my memory into the full game.

But I don't know what piss is in this scenario.

I don't know if it's actual human piss or if it's...

So maybe

we take four plates.

We all have lunch.

Three of them have been cleaned with water and one's been cleaned with piss.

Oh, God.

And then we have to figure out.

This feels like an idea that Gavin's pitching where he's just going to end up with a piss dish.

You know what, Kev?

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

I lose again.

You know what, Kev?

Yeah.

That idea sounds really familiar.

That was the idea.

You might be onto something.

It might have been a situation where there were like three clean dishes and one dish that had piss on it, and somebody got the piss dish.

That sounds really right.

I would not call that an a idea

i i like it i just don't think anyone actually wants to play it and i don't think anyone wants to see it is the problem i i don't like it at all no i like

that's lose lose that's audience lose that's we lose i don't think i would even tell people that we played that I agree, but it was in my notes.

And you guys challenged me when I said I didn't have anything.

So I had to prove to you that I didn't have anything.

So did this snake piss on the dish?

No, I saw the snake on my bike ride the other day.

Actually, it was about three weeks ago now.

You know, I had the whole snake followers revelation and realized that events were being set into motion to put a snake in front of me at some point in the undefined future.

And that undefined future was about two episodes ago.

And I almost rode over it on my bicycle.

That's all.

I was just riding through the woods.

I was cutting through a frisbee golf course.

And

so was the snake, the big black, bismack, maybe three feet long.

I thought it was an ugly stick for a second, and I swerved just not to hit a stick, and then I realized it was moving.

And then I, you know, threw up on my mouth a little bit and almost shit my pants and rode home immediately and ended my ride.

And that was, I was done.

It took the wind out of my sails.

I like that you noticed that it was an ugly stick.

Yeah, it looked weird.

I didn't like the look of it from the beginning.

I didn't want to hit it with my bike.

And then when I found out that it was organs and teeth, I definitely didn't want to hit it.

Maybe you were too focused on on dodging golf frisbees.

Dude, I love, I love

such a prick.

I fucking love riding through their dumb little frisbee course.

You're going to get clocked.

They got good throwing.

Well, I don't, I'm not going to get, I am not worried about those athletes hitting me with a frisbee.

Are you fucking kidding?

Jack used to play disc golf.

Exactly.

I'm not worried about Jack hitting me with a frisbee from 75 feet away when I'm moving 18 miles an hour.

No offense to jack uh but but what it does do is you hear a bunch of dudes sitting on coolers go oh man as they got to wait while i ride by before they can sling their frisbee it's awesome i have the opposite i if i feel like i'm in the wrong place oh absolutely i i i get so anxious yeah i'd freak out if i was i need to leave immediately i start swinging like i would i become i would go underground sooner than stay around on the

absolute course now in this situation i'm the opposite of that i look for reasons to cut through that

force to annoy you.

Like, it's a highlight.

Yeah, that's a feature.

And if you want to go on bike rides with me, you can too.

It's a lot of fun.

I don't want this to happen to you, but there is, in my mind, a very funny montage of you making this declaration about how you're not scared of them and then cut to you and like an upper body cast because one of their things got in your bike wheel and it...

made you tumble.

Dude, dude, I wouldn't even be mad.

If that happened, that would be so fucking funny.

I would applaud them for the shot oh well if you totally fair i maybe maybe it should be it's fine in the rules if someone goes through on a bike but they have to be wearing a bullseye shirt oh it doesn't even need to be

a shirt because like if you go to a driving range in golf everybody targets the little cart that comes to collect the balls so like i feel like that's you jeff yeah

you're the cart i'm the golden snitch

If they hit me, they win the day.

It's like when you're playing a game where you're trying to accumulate score and and there's a bonus round like every five levels, you're the bonus round.

They get a bunch of points if they hit you, but I think they probably want less points.

Bonus points if they can hit me hard enough to make the bike change directions.

Oh.

I have to ask a question about the rant you went on just then.

Did you call your podcast something all right?

Did I?

I love it.

Yeah, you do.

I didn't say anything because I'm benevolent, but here is Gavin.

well would you agree with that gavin is this podcast something all right

yeah it's yeah

he doesn't know he's never listened to it i looked up i looked up

i looked up the slowest bird to ever fly it is the american woodcock would you like to guess how slow the american woodcock would clock woodcock can fly the american woodcock woodcock yeah american woodcock Is it possible that I've seen a woodcock and don't even know it?

Yeah, because it's this stupid ass-looking little bird.

He's this little dumb guy.

He's this like little, I like this guy like an idiot bird.

This is a real idiot animal.

So he has a long beak and he's kind of like a chunky fella.

Yeah.

Looks a little bit like a kiwi.

Does look a little he does look a little bit like a kiwi, but he's not.

He's an American woodcock.

I would say, well, what could he just hover in place?

Is it zero?

No, no, no, no, no, it's not zero.

It's motion.

Four miles an hour.

Four miles an hour.

No, but you're very close.

The American Woodcock, when horny.

Wait, horny?

What is with you in that?

The American Woodcock, when horny,

it flies slower when it's putting on a show for the ladies, when it's trying to attract women, you know, when it's like presenting.

At its slowest, it's been clocked at five miles an hour.

Oh, okay.

Wow, it's close.

So you could probably walk faster than that thing could fly.

However, that's not the interesting thing about that little fucker.

The interesting thing about it is all of its nicknames, it is colloquially referred to as, this sounds like the lineup of an entire, of like a double A-ball league.

The Timberdoodle, the Mud Bat, the Hog Sucker, the Bog Sucker, the Night Partridge, the Labrador Twister, the

Brush Snipe, the Hoke and Poke, or the Beccassee.

Those are all nicknames for that little bird.

The Night Partridge.

It was like when I look up a random wrestler and I look at their nicknames, what you just said.

Yeah.

Just

random, absurd.

Yeah, it must get down in the bog with its long beak.

Well, yeah, he can get really down there and then he can call out for anyone.

Have you guys heard the little sound he makes?

No, Eric is going to play it.

He's live.

Yeah.

Check it out.

Yeah.

Check it out.

This is the little sound that he makes.

Now, is he horny when he's making this?

And that should be

the noise they play when everybody, when somebody on on the Fort Wayne bogsuckers hits a home run.

Jeff is better than this bird in every way.

I want to get Woodcock text message tone, I think.

That would be so annoying.

Like when

the group text is going off and you're just like, God, this fucking bird.

And that's the kind of information you can learn about on my other podcast, something alright.

I wish the Woodcock was faster than you normally, but slower when horny.

I wish it was the thing where you were only faster when it was horny.

So it flies in migration at around like 14 miles an hour.

Okay.

Okay.

It slows down significantly when it gets horny.

That's what I want.

Yeah.

That's great.

Is this caulk a massive sail when it pops out?

Yeah, I think it slows it down.

It takes on too much drag.

I think when it pops out, it goes.

I have some regulation news.

Regulation news?

Oh, and I've just realized I've absolutely jeffed this picture.

Oh, no.

Jesus.

So it's going to be like the wrong way.

Go ahead and send it.

Go ahead and send it and then redo it.

Oh, it is such a jeff.

You fucking dropped it.

I jeffed it.

I jeffed it.

Anyway, my slopper clock stopped, and I was so bummed it didn't stop at

slop o'clock.

What?

But can you imagine if it stopped at slop o'clock?

Would have been tremendous.

I would play the lottery that day.

Yeah, that's the lucky day.

Or you're doomed for forever sloppiness.

Yeah.

You're just cursed.

You're cursed in a constant state of slop.

I want to know if anyone else who, well, the six other people who bought the slopper clock, amazing clock, by the way.

I don't know if any of your clocks have stopped.

Oh, mine has.

If any of them were close to slopper clock.

Have you ever had a slop stop on slop?

My sloppin' clock is currently stopped at 7.05.

Oh, yours also stopped.

Oh, yeah, mine stopped a long time ago.

I don't think I ever put batteries in mine and just set it to slop a clock and I leave it in the background.

That's smart.

That might be the way to do it.

It's a decorative piece.

It's a decorative piece that nobody bought and then now people want and we don't have.

Yeah, I do find there to be a sort of a hilarious irony in the fact that I get requested constantly from people now.

Look at where mine stopped.

No way.

Are you serious?

Like the exact same time.

What?

What?

Do we have the most consistent batteries on the planet?

Are you serious?

How is that?

So if you start your slopper clock,

even the second hand is almost too close, but it's like

a minute.

It's off by like, what, like one minute?

It's like

that's crazy.

Yeah, the Gavins was AM.

This is clearly PNA.

No.

I wonder if they stopped on the same day.

Like, I wonder if that was actually a minute apart.

There's no way a double-A battery is that constant.

No.

Consistent?

I'm blown away by that.

Me too.

It's quite the coincidence.

I like that when Jeff went to give the owner of Nunya the slopper clock, he accidentally gave him a cookbook.

And then

when I met him,

we were still debating if we had any slopper clocks around.

So I said I would give him mine.

But then Jeff found...

An extra.

So thankfully I still got my slopper clock.

Yeah, that's awesome.

So how did he receive that, Jeff?

Was he really excited?

Oh, I haven't taken it to him yet because we haven't been back there, but it is in the office.

The deck of like, let's go today.

It's in the office.

It's in the bit barrel.

It's been on the bit barrel for so long.

Well, the bit barrel just went through a bit of a transformation.

So it's.

Oh, wow.

You have a bit barrel update?

BitBarrel is now 100% complete.

It's done.

It's done.

We got the drill bit in, which, Gav, I don't know.

I think you took video of it, right?

I took video.

While you're talking, I can actually just trim out a section and post.

Yeah, yeah.

It's probably not an OSHA-approved video.

When you say trim out a section post, do you mean now or in like three weeks?

And then tell me you're being sarcastic.

Well, he's going to trim it now, but he's going to show it to you in three weeks.

Post for you, Andrew.

It's a long clip, so I'm going to have to make it Discordable.

Okay.

I bought a drill bit.

It's hard to tell when you're buying stuff on Amazon.

So I just bought the biggest drill bit I could find for a metal drill bit.

It looks like kind of a pyramid almost, like a cylindrical pyramid.

And

it came in.

It was fucking, it weighed as much as the drill.

It was so fucking heavy.

And the neck on it was so thick, I didn't know that it would fit into the drill casing, but it did.

It just barely fit.

And

at this point, I was hoping Gavin would have the video ready because I don't know how much further I can vamp on the size of a drill bit.

It was so, it was smaller than a bread box, but still very big.

Oh, wow.

Nothing?

Okay.

I just don't want to help Gavin in this situation.

I just want him to.

No, it's still too big for this guy.

You can put it in slack.

What are you doing?

Unintended consequence is that Gavin and I got absolutely

doused in hot metal shavings.

What?

And I had to go home and take all my clothes off and put them in the washing machine and take a shower because I was covered in metal slivers.

and uh, it was brutal.

Luckily, I was, you know, I was wearing safety goggles.

Do you put metal slivers in a washing machine?

Is that okay?

Sure, yeah, it's be fine.

I shook it out on the go.

Yeah, they'll get pulled out into the water and then suck down the tube.

It probably would have been bad if you walked past a magnet on the way home.

It might have been great.

Oh, yeah.

I'm going to hit play on this thing.

You guys ready?

Okay, here we go.

Three, two, one.

Yeah, I know.

It's okay.

We're all playing at the same time.

Oh my God.

You didn't even like secure this is crazy

What's up

I Secured it with my hands

It the drill looks like it's securing it's just yeah

shaking left and right

I bought some uh I bought some sandpaper too because we got some pretty jagged edges on this.

Oh, it would be on those holes.

I'm gonna sand down.

And I believe the I bought like a little mini

leaf blower.

I think it came in yesterday.

So we are ready to go.

We just need to fill the bit barrel with bits.

Do we do that with falcons?

I think we do it with falcons.

Yeah.

Okay.

All right.

We'll do it.

Our next Falcon event maybe will be the getting together with the Falcons and old bits, writing them down, throwing them in the bit barrel, baby.

I thought you would have gone for a wholesaw, like a drill, like a normal drill bit with like the ring around it.

Yeah.

I just googled best metal, uh, metal hole saw, and that's what they came up with.

Maybe it's, I know the one I've had the one you've talked about before for wood, but I've never used it for metal before, so I don't know.

That's fair.

Maybe they're just for wood.

I'd like to see you use a pickaxe next time.

Just go full swing, create a big hole.

I'm down for that.

I think it'd be good.

Anyway, I think the hole's big enough.

We'll find out.

And if it isn't, it's sort of awesome.

I sort of love if it isn't.

Yeah, then I can make it bigger.

Before we put the

leaf blower in it to like shoot the bit up to catch it and everything, did you get the metal shavings out from inside of the barrel or are they still inside the barrel?

No, no, we cleaned it out.

Okay, good.

I'm just making sure.

I just didn't want someone to look down, the thing pops up, you get covered in metal shaders.

Yeah, yeah, we also didn't want to drag a thousand or probably a couple thousand slivers into the house.

So we know I appreciate it.

That's fantastic.

It's great.

Yeah, this is this is great.

Do we keep it over with like the suits?

Where are we putting the bit barrel?

Well, we have so much room now that we don't have the

pinball machine in the living room anymore.

You're putting it in the living room, you think?

It's right in the middle of where the coffee table was.

Right in the middle.

I don't know.

We put wherever you guys want.

It doesn't matter.

We'll put it in the suits.

Sure.

We'll figure it out.

What if it was?

Yeah, maybe it should be right in the middle.

I think it should go in the streaming room.

I think it's a great

set decoration piece on an end table.

But whatever.

That's fine, too.

Oh, it could go on Jeff's new set.

Jeff, you have a new set?

It can go anywhere.

The break room.

We got that break room pretty much done.

Oh, that's exciting.

Andrew, have you not been rolling around recently?

You know, I tried to do it the other day, but my charge cable was too secure, and I typically can just knock it off, but I was tethered to the wall.

I could not escape.

He's driving.

It's on a really weak magnet.

Usually you just drive away from it.

Yeah, typically I've been able to just go zipping on through, but however I was placed last time I went, it would not let me detach.

I was trying to take a little peek.

Should we charge you on a table so you just drive off the table and definitely unplug?

Oh, that could be good.

Because there are new wires in there and it's a little tricky.

I'm having to figure out how to get past the wires because the wires will tilt me.

Somebody saved me, thankfully.

Last time I hopped in, was able to go around.

I immediately tipped on some heavier cables that are now in that streaming room.

Yeah, it's a bit of a mess in the streaming room, but it'll all get tucked away and...

finalized soon.

I was there for about an hour on my own the other day and I was just pretty lonely.

You didn't come to life or anything.

Well, you should have.

Did you post?

I'll typically try to pop in if I see someone's going to be there.

All right.

If you didn't share it, how would I know?

Would I just sense it?

I just got to be there.

Sometimes you just pop out.

That is true.

Yeah.

I guess to just assume, though.

I got to scout soon.

I got to see what's going on with this office.

You know, between busy schedules, summer plans, working on two shows, and having a kid, sometimes all I've got is a couple minutes.

Okay, this

is awesome.

This is real.

I'm so let's lock in boys.

Did you say you have new cats?

I do have new cats.

You did say

I had a new episode.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I got new cats.

I've had cats, new cats for like a month now.

Let me post some photos

of them.

No, one is two, one is six.

They're brothers.

They were bonded in the shelter.

So I, we got both of them at the same time.

Wow.

They're little menaces.

It's become a problem.

One of them really likes watching birds on my phone, but only when it's on top of me, because it happened the first time and I started laughing.

And I've become like a human D-box chair for this cat.

Not nearly as interesting unless it's on top of me and I'm like reacting in some way.

I can't imagine how D-Box would work for a video about birds.

That's crazy.

Yeah, it doesn't sink.

I think the movement, a little bit of movement is appreciated.

Here, let me post in the chat some photos of my cats.

Well, what are their names?

Marley and Calvin are my two cats.

Here we go.

Here's a photo.

Was that their names already?

No, they had terrible, terrible original names.

Like Hitler and Ava Braun?

Not that bad.

It was like Sir Purrington and something else.

It was just

what?

You took away his knighthood?

Yeah, I think I denighted him now that I think about it.

Good.

Honestly, good.

With a name like that.

Oh, my God.

Yeah, some Marley and Calvin action.

Two different cats.

Oh, damn.

Look at them.

Which is which?

The green one's Marley.

The orange one is Calvin.

Oh, okay.

Who's your favorite?

You know, it depends on the day.

It really depends on the day.

They are rambunctious.

I bought a thing for uh, I have a patio door, and I bought like a little windowsill thing that they can hang on, and they're constantly kicking each other off of it.

So, that's been fun.

Um,

just uh, rambunctious, some rambunctious boys,

but uh, I've uh congratulations, thank you, you got them on purpose, like it was a planned thing.

It was a planned out thing, yeah.

It came together pretty quickly, it it went very well, and they've just been little menaces.

They're obsessed with the bathroom for some reason.

Like our bathroom.

Have you tripped on either of them yet?

Oh, absolutely.

I did.

Yeah, 100%.

They're big, in-your-feet cats.

I went to use the bathroom one night, and I didn't realize they were both laying between the toilet and the tub.

And I partially stepped on one, and it was a whole chaotic thing.

It was a disaster.

But that's been one of the more entertaining aspects aspects of my life outside of the show right now: these little boys hanging out with these cats.

Getting new cats.

So exciting.

They're big

treat guys.

So it's been fun.

Giving them little snacks.

And yeah.

Nick's a big treat guy, too.

Yeah, big guy.

Nick loves a treat.

Oh, we should come up with like a churru for humans and give one to Nick.

Oh, a human churu?

Yeah, like a little tube of Nick food.

Yeah.

Nick, what kind of pastes?

What kind of pastes and gels do you like?

Ooh.

Oh, you know what?

What about like a sausage-filled gel?

When you eat a sausage, it immediately feels food that isn't

for a solid food.

Well, no, you can grind it down.

It's kind of a, it gives a bit when you're inside.

That's why it has the casing.

Oh.

Oh.

It's got to be like all blended up with a liquid to get it all.

It's got to be able to like, you've got to be able to squeeze it with your fingers and squirt it out the edge.

You couldn't have went with like a more pre, like a steak like a high-end type of you went with sausage you want him to you want to squirt a steak at him i would rather have like a steak squirt than a sausage squirt i think they're both horrific i was hoping like he'd be like strawberry or something i don't know what i had to do i didn't even consider it as like a yogurt type thing i was thinking like i didn't think about fruit at all

I think because we're I think Nick and I were in the mindset of like what animals would eat in these tubes like what flavorings available to them I was sticking protein i mean i can certainly get in the lab i can try and make you a sausage churu that sounds so gross i think you should i think nick's conflicted because he likes the idea of it but not by you right he likes the idea just not the gathin well i can i could just be the the idea foreman and i could oversee someone making it if you don't need to i just i just think you add an interesting factor by being the one who's creating it yeah a little bit of international flair uh-huh it would be crazy if true announced they were making human tubes

they should they might as well like it's already a thing for like runners and stuff right they have like those energy tubes absolutely yeah yeah but not with me right right right but that would be like their next step because you could do a bunch of different because there's like a bunch of different flavors for this one where like he's like oh you know what if he did like strawberry and it's like oh yeah we could probably get pretty close to that i think that there's probably like a bunch of different different flavors here.

Like, oh, there is a strawberry, there's mango, and apple, cinnamon, and chocolate, or whatever.

So instead, what if you know, salt's free steak?

Yeah.

Yeah.

It is sort of surprising there isn't like a lays for cats.

Like, they just haven't, they make snack food for humans.

Why not?

I probably own a pet food.

Yeah,

there's no cool ranch option.

Yeah.

Also,

I was looking at energy gels, and then there's this,

but I think it's for

like

these gels are like, I think it's like airsoft, but I can't tell.

I just assume it's like airsoft.

But imagine

right, but imagine instead of airsoft, it was like shooting delicious treats or like our bacon bits.

We were going to make a bacon blaster.

Oh, that's right.

Maybe that's good blaster.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

Nick, you like bacon bits?

Love them.

What if we just blasted a bunch of bacon into your mouth as a treat?

I mean, I'll take it.

Nick, how do you feel about pate?

I don't think I've ever had pate.

Let's give it a shot.

Oh, hell, I think that's going to be my paste.

Might be the tube.

That's going to be it.

What type of tube are you going to use?

Are you going to make a tube?

Are you going to just repurpose some other tube?

I'll have to repurpose.

Well, you can just get us the old churros.

Let's just get old chew roost.

I'm not going to rinse out an actual churroo.

Clean them out.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

We'll go, we'll find, we'll find some old chew roost that a cat would use.

And we'll clean them her mouth.

And we'll fill him up with battle.

You know what you should use?

I guess it'd be a little hard, but

if you could use a groan tube.

Oh.

That'd be hard to squeeze, but I could potentially whip it into your mouth.

Yeah.

It's like Monster Hunter, the cat on the churru tube is the chef of the thing.

They made this meal for you.

Yeah, what if the groan is the mechanism that pushes the food out at him when you sling it?

It's just such a heavy

Maybe we could get like a tungsten filler pellet thing so it actually does push the meat out.

I could probably as a Dilbot feed somebody who's based out of food using a food snack.

Just put a spoon on the front.

Don't even need a spoon.

I could just put it next to the edge of a table and I can drive over it.

Just fire it into Nick's mouth.

Just fire.

I get launched.

Easy.

I can't believe you went sausage.

I also can't believe neither of us thought of fruit or anything sweet.

Yeah.

Purely protein.

You know, tungsten is pretty cheap to buy by the gram.

I just looked it up.

Is it really?

Is that the heaviest metal tungsten thing?

No, it's just not the heaviest, but it's the densest.

It's pretty easy to get and it's heavy.

It's very easy to get.

You can get a pure tungsten gram for anywhere between four to nine dollars per pound for scrap.

You can get a gram.

No, I

added, you can get a pound of tungsten for four to to $9.

Ignore the Graham thing.

I was looking at two different charts at once.

So a kilogram would be expensive as shit.

Huh?

Why even go down?

Why even pursue it, Gavin?

Like, why?

Speaking about food,

there's something we probably should discuss and just lay down so that we can talk about it anymore.

Yes.

We talked about

our next food average thing starting on September 1st until next September 1st is hamburgers.

So we finished the hot dog one.

We're going to do hamburgers because I think it was 156

is the American average for hamburgers.

The question that I've seen the most from people is,

does a slider count as a hamburger?

Three sliders, one burger.

Easy.

What?

Three sliders equals one burger, easy.

I guess you always do get them in threes.

You always get them in threes.

If you order sliders at any place, you're going to get three of them.

Unless it's like White Castle, in which they only sell sliders.

But I think three is the equivalent to one burger based on the restaurant averages.

I just think a slider, I think a slider is a hamburger.

You're a fool, because imagine if

you were served a plate of three tiny hot dogs.

I'm with Andrew.

If a slider was a burger, it'd be called a burger.

I think three sliders is about the size of a burger.

I don't want to overcomplicate this, but that makes sense to me.

If you order a hamburger off of a menu, you get one burger.

If you order sliders off of a menu, you get three sliders.

Also, we know that in the stats, they're not talking about sliders.

Yeah.

That's true.

That's true.

I'm also amazed by, I said that I would be okay with lamb or chicken burgers, and I was amazed by two things.

One, my wife texted me and said I was insane for allowing either of those things.

But also, I found out a ton of people don't know what a chicken burger is.

They think it's just like a chicken sandwich on a hamburger bun.

No, ground-up chicken in a form of a patty, just like lamb, just like hamburger, just like impossible meat.

It's all I, that exists.

Yeah, it's just a

culture.

I didn't make it.

I didn't invent it.

Yeah, it exists all over the U.S.

You can get a chicken burger.

P.

Terry's has chicken burgers.

That's right.

Yep.

Yep.

I don't like them.

You don't?

No, I'm not a big fan of ground-up chicken personally, but

I know,

but I accept that it exists.

Andrew,

you're a big chicken guy.

Yeah, huge chicken guy.

Do you like the do you like the ground up chicken patties?

No, I don't.

I'd rather have some crunch, chicken patty.

I don't mind a chicken sandwich.

Crunch.

Yeah, well, when you get a chicken patty, you're like, the bread can be crunchy.

He's thinking, he's talking about like a fried chicken sandwich.

Oh.

Oh, you would default to roasted, wouldn't you?

Yeah.

No, grilled.

Brilled.

Whatever.

Not fried.

Why did you say that?

Like, you're looking down your nose at me, your unbreakable nose.

No,

I would kind of, it's not that I was looking down.

It's just like, of course you would pick the least joyful of the thing as far as the food goes

you go with the plainest sandwich really nice it's joyful i love a grilled chicken sandwich it can be very good but that's not when i think of a chicken burger my mind goes to grill or not grilled fried

i'm right with andrew on this you did pick the least enjoyable of the chicken uh sandwich preparations i think which is fine totally fine it's still good but he's definitely right i think that's what meg said that you default to also is that version of that.

When we talk to her about this, she's like, oh, yeah, hell yeah.

156, absolutely.

She's like, except that Gavin never wants to eat hamburgers.

And I said, my small wife is the same way.

She never wants to go get a hamburger.

So my numbers are going to be skewed.

It's going to be tough.

You posted a hamburger, Eric, recently being like, hey, this doesn't count yet, but I'm having a hamburger.

Yeah, I went to what, yeah, top notch.

Yeah, let people know.

I was on my second hamburger at the same time that you posted that, and I didn't react to it, but I was eating my second one.

Hell yeah.

I was ready.

So,

so Nick and me have the clock in sync and you have the burgers right now.

Yeah, we're burgers in.

We have the burger sync.

That's good.

Yeah.

So

we've determined three sliders is equivalent to one hamburger.

That's where we stand on this.

Boom, done.

Got it.

Easy.

Just wanted to let everyone know.

Now we're good.

But also chicken burger, ground chicken, ground lamb, ground beef,

like that thing, that's going to be a burger also.

I understand that ground beef is the default, but the name is ham burger and there ain't no ham in it either.

So I don't know that we can be that pedantic.

As long as it's a ground up meat and it's called a ham, it's called a burger on a menu, then it should count.

Now, if someone orders like 12 sliders for the table and you have two, are you rounding up or are you just not counting it?

You don't count it.

You didn't have three sliders.

Okay, good.

Good today.

If I have 40% of a hamburger, I'm not going to count that I had 40% of a hamburger.

I'm not going to like write that down on a card and put it in my wallet so that if I have 60% of the hamburger three months later, I can remember and combine the total.

I mean, what you forget, obviously, is that there's a spirit to this thing.

And it's important to keep in mind.

Fair play.

I have

a game we can play that we talked about before.

Not here.

We did a sausage talk that will be out by this point that this comes out.

No, the sausage talk will be out tomorrow.

Okay.

Well, the sausage talk will be out tomorrow.

In that, we talk about a variety of things.

One of the things was a game that I initially misinterpreted because of the naming structure of it, where I thought that I would have to ask questions to you guys and you would have to do research and get back to me on them.

I have compiled some questions.

If we want to give this a try, we will be doing back-to-backs today, so in the next episode, I will not get an answer, but The episode after that, we can have a conclusion.

Do we want to play

Andrew's Questions?

Yeah.

Is that that the name of the game?

Is Andrew's Questions?

Let's do Andrew's Questions.

We can call that.

It sounds like it should be called Andrew's Homework because you're just giving us homework.

Well, it was the game that was pitched to me.

What was the name of the game that was explained originally before we came up with the different name for it?

What was the original name of that game?

Does anyone remember?

I don't remember.

It might have been called Andrew's Questions.

It may have been Andrew's Questions.

Yeah, no, no, I'm ready.

I was just giving you our time.

That's fair.

Okay, we'll go in an egg order.

So, Eric, you're first.

I've written these questions one through four.

Pick a number and I will assign you a question.

These are all things that I'm genuinely.

Hold on a second.

You said we're going in an egg order and then you skipped Nick.

That's, yeah.

You know what?

Listen.

I'm having a morning.

I'm having a morning at a terrible sleep.

Nick, you're first.

All right.

I'm going to go with number four.

Number four.

My fourth question is,

who invented mini golf and when/slash where did it happen?

I don't understand the game.

Now, what the fuck are you doing?

What is this?

These are questions I have.

But we all heard it.

Yeah.

Yeah, but Nick is going to go get the answer and come back and report to Andrew.

What did, what was the game?

Gavin, help.

No, okay.

This is where you, this is the confusion.

You.

This is not the game that you pitched to me.

This was...

This is the game.

This was what I interpreted the game as originally that we had to clarify.

So it played like andrew's goof world questions these this is andrew's goof world questions this is andrew's homework this is andrew's homework it is but i want to know these things these questions jeff this makes sense right you were in the same meetings i i was in the same call the sausage talk people listen they'll get this I'm following along, Andrew.

It's basically Andrew misinterpreted a pitch that we gave him in Sausage Talk.

He misinterpreted the pitch to be this, essentially, when it's nothing like it.

No, but that's okay.

We don't need to get into what that other pitch was because it'll be in Sausage Talk tomorrow.

This is just how Andrew initially heard the pitch and was confused about it.

He cleared it up in the moment, but Andrew, something stuck with Andrew.

He liked it.

So then he reformed it into, I guess, the exact same thing that he initially thought it was and then presented it to us today as a new game, which I immediately clocked as Andrew's giving us homework,

which is what it is, but that's fine.

I'm interested.

Eric, pick a number.

All right.

One.

My question for you.

Get back to me on.

Do the geese have anything to do with gooseberries?

Got it.

Yeah.

I'm way happier with my question.

Jeff, pick a number.

Is three available?

Two or three.

Yeah, I'll take three.

Who invented the peanut butter jelly sandwich and what type of jelly did they use?

Curious about the peanut butter and jelly.

When did it come about?

I assume it's an old sandwich, but because of the high five, I don't feel like I know when anything was made anymore.

Good point.

High five was like, what, 70 something, 1973?

It says 1977, I believe.

Okay.

Who invented the peanut butter and jelly sandwich and what jelly did they use?

What brand of peanut butter?

When was it?

That's what I've written down.

Great.

We'll get back to that.

That's even more detailed than I thought.

Gavin, I guess I shouldn't do an egg every time because then you never get the pick.

Or maybe I'll just add an additional question.

Number two is yours.

He said five.

That's not even on there.

This is fucking good.

Oh, wait, no, I do have a five.

I didn't scroll.

You have a pick between two or five.

Hey, oh, Mary paid off.

You said four, damn you.

This sucks.

Yeah, I might have picked five if I'd known there was a five.

Me too.

Well, let's see what this question is.

We can determine if we're mad.

Yeah.

You don't want five?

Kevin, do you want five?

Dude, you want five?

Do five.

Yeah, I saw me.

I said five.

Okay.

What came first?

The waffle or the pancake?

I'm assuming assuming it's the pancake.

That's a good one.

But I just feel like there's more detail in a waffle.

Like, why did the waffle get made?

Now, do I need to just provide you the answer or do I need to show my workings?

No, you don't need to show your workings.

I'll trust you.

Oh, wow.

I can just come back in a couple of episodes and say the word waffle or pancake and my homework's done.

Absolutely.

Okay, I'll make a note in a couple of episodes.

Do 69.

We'll say

answers to Andrew's homework.

I appreciate that.

I'm a little upset that two wasn't picked, but that's fine.

We could do two as a group.

A group?

Oh, group project?

Oh, Eric's that freaking nerd at school last week.

My number two.

Excuse me, teacher.

Methinks you did not assign us homework.

Once again, this is the high-five problem for me.

Was Cliffhanger the movie called that because of the term or did it create it?

If not, where did Cliffhanger come from?

The term, the meaning.

Wait, wait, wait.

You're asking if the movie Cliffhanger invented the term cliffhanger?

Yeah, because it's a movie about hanging off of cliffs.

I actually know the answer to this.

It was an episode.

It was an episode of So Alright, the sister podcast of something.

All right.

Wow.

The term cliffhanger has been around for a very long time.

Cliffhanger books were very popular in the 1800s.

Cliffhanger, what is the cliffhanger book?

Oh, just like the concept of that, like, it's left on a cliffhanger?

Yeah.

and then you have to wait for the new book to come out sequel or whatever did the movie speed come up with the concept of speed or did it exist before i think it existed before

but that's a different thing

you say it like it's it's a ridiculous concept but cliffhanger is a word think about like stan

how the term stan exists because of the song and it represents sort of what the song is about.

There are things in culture.

You think the term cliffhanger, you think the turf, the term cliffhanger didn't exist before 1993 is what you're saying.

The high five came out in 1977.

I don't know what to think.

All right, it's a good point.

I really see an eye to eye with Andrew today.

He's got a great point there.

I would assume way before, Eric, but in the world of the high five, I just don't know.

Yeah, nothing can be so in a world where the beastie boys created the term mullet.

What are we dealing with?

I really like the idea of there being a brand of books called Cliffhanger, and they all end in Cliffhangers, and people just being upset about it.

Why do I keep buying these?

Nothing's ever resolved.

It's just about a guy named Cliffhanger and his adventures.

They all end very neatly.

Succinct endings.

Cliffhanger is such a good pen name.

Cliff Hanger.

You know, there's a dude out there named Cliff Hanger, too.

I'm imagining him like, he's like flying planes.

He's stopping crying.

He's like an action hero.

Cliff Hanger.

I don't have LinkedIn, and I don't even want to go to the website because I'll somehow end up with 400 emails about it.

But I bet there's a dude named Cliff Hanger who works in, like, I don't know, accounting somewhere in the Midwest.

Cliff Hanger, LinkedIn.

Let's see.

Cliff Hanger.

20 plus Cliff Hanger profiles.

The top one for me.

He's an award-winning producer.

TV commercials, music videos, movie obsessed.

Cliff Hanger.

I bet that's a pin name for him.

That's not a real name.

Well, the next one is Chief Information Officer at Google.

Now, that guy could be Cliff.

He's a pretty serious-looking fella.

He's a pretty serious Cliff.

Cliff always short for Clifford?

Clifford Hanger.

Clifford Hanger.

The junior.

What else could it be?

Short for

Cliffing.

Cliff Cliff.

Cleef.

Cliff.

Cliffy B Hanger.

Cliffy B.

Hanger.

I think it's always Clifford.

I don't think there's any other variation of it.

Clifton.

Oh, Clifton.

Clifton.

Clifton.

What's the worst shortened name

name?

What do you mean by the worst?

Like, like, Dick is Richard.

And it's like, that doesn't make any fucking sense.

Like, why are you calling him that?

Like, John can be Jack or the other way around.

Yeah, right.

Never made sense.

Nah.

You know what's a weird weird one?

Is I know several people that are named James that just don't want to go by it and instead go by Jake, and that's not a shortened version of James, they just are disassociative of James, especially when you're walking right past Jim and Jimmy.

I always hated when people truncate Michael down to just Bernie, like

I mean, I get it, but

that's pretty good.

Bob?

That's pretty good.

Yeah, Robert to Bob is a weird one, too.

I think, like, I think Hank for Henry.

Robert to Bobby, I think, is weird.

Yeah.

Even weirder.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I always, as a kid, thought Bob was such a funny name.

I remember being really gutted that I didn't know a real one.

Bob is a funny name.

Like, if it's a fun word.

If I had to come up with a pretend name, it would always be Bob.

Well, that's not true because you have like four pretend names and none of them are Bob.

Errol and Stewart came a lot later.

Bob was when I was in like primary school.

What would Bob's last name be?

I don't know.

Slob.

Never got that from Bob.

Bobbits.

Bob Obits.

Bob Bobbits.

What the?

What the fuck?

He writes cliffhanger books.

Polly is.

What?

This doesn't make any sense.

Polly is a nickname short for Mary.

That, what?

It's longer.

Huh.

Polly is a variant of Molly, which is from Mary.

So Polly is from Mary.

That doesn't make any sense.

What the fuck?

It's long.

That's too long.

I was always jealous of the Robert the Bobby thing as Andrew.

Because like that, that's a fun variation on what the name can be, where I just lose letters.

I just literally get shorter.

You just take away my first two.

That's my shortened name.

Well, you could, I mean, you could add to the end of Drew.

Druin?

Sipping around?

Oh, Droopy.

Droopy.

Yeah, I'm pumped about Droopy.

Droopy, that's on the 2026 nickname list for me.

Droopy.

Do you think Eric used to be like Eric used to be short for something, but the longer thing, we just forgot the time?

I bet that Eric came from people saying Aaron, but mishearing it.

You think so?

You don't think it was like

Eric Kindelon or Ericinder?

Oh, I bet it's something like Erickson or something stupid.

Oh, maybe, yeah.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

Eric de Budfucker or whatever.

I'm pretty sure that's where Jeff comes from, right?

Jeffrey.

Jeffrey.

Jeff is short for Jeffrey.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Jeffrey de Budfoker.

That's my understanding.

Yeah.

I do see what you're saying, Jeff, of Eric being longer.

I imagine Eric's long name, he's like one of the characters taking an oath and Lord of the Rings.

Like, that's the type of long name I'm envisioning.

Like

Eric Onian or something like that.

Eric Onian.

I just like the idea of putting an E on the end of Eric.

Eric E.

Oh, I never.

I don't think I've ever considered that.

Eric.

It's going to be Eris.

That's crazy.

Oh, it's a place in Sicily.

Oh, interesting.

Oh, there you go.

No wonder you like Mafia the Old Country.

Back to your roots.

Oh, yeah.

So what was the time to kill?

What did the time to kill end up being for Mafia the Old Country?

It was two hours, something, I think.

Two hours and 20 minutes, I believe.

Two hours, 20 minutes.

Yeah.

If you're not familiar with what we're talking about, on our Friday VODs that we do every Friday from 4 p.m.

Central Time to 5.01 p.m.

Central Time, the best time of the week over at twitch.tv slash the regulation pod, we do some sort of a fun stream.

Last Friday, we streamed Mafia of the Old Country, where for two hours we had three practice knife fights.

We did.

Good game.

I finished it last night.

Had a lot of fun with it, ultimately.

Long time before you kill anything in that game, though.

Two hours to a half-time.

Long time before anything happens.

I do appreciate, though, that they make it a moment.

It's like, oh, fuck, I'm going to have to kill someone now.

Okay.

well like it's a it's a heavy weight of a kill do you have to decide on it's a little yeah it's like it's a thing that your character is a little bit uneasy about uh initially do you have to you have to kill your own father uh no i think he's already dead i mean he sold you into slavery essentially so i don't i don't think you have a lot of conflict about killing him yeah if that were an element maybe that'll be the dlc maybe we'll go back mafia the older country

mafia dollar old country daddy's home

Do you get a strike for that video, by the way, Andrew?

No.

Why would I get a strike?

Oh, you didn't upload the video.

Oh, because it corrupted.

I thought it corrupted.

Well, that's the reason you didn't upload the video.

Yeah, I don't think I get a strike.

The effort was there.

I tried.

It just never

actual corrupted or like our

version of corrupted.

Oh.

It was not in my library.

There was no file for it.

It was just gone.

Is that corrupted?

Okay, well, what would you call it?

So, I can just use your terminology going forward.

What would you like me to call it?

That I'm missing?

Missing?

Well, I feel like if you have a corrupted file, you have a file that's corrupted.

What?

I get that I didn't add anything.

Okay, but let me just follow your thread, though.

So, if it was missing, that would imply that it is still findable.

It's just somewhere.

So, what you're saying is that the the file exists and is usable, but my computer has put it in a place that is unlocatable.

Well, a file can be gone, like deleted, but still on your hard drive.

Okay.

Like as a temporary file somewhere.

Or like a

unlinked file.

But for a thing to be missing, doesn't it need to be retrievable?

That's what I'm saying.

But it's not.

If your file was there and then you ran like data recovery, It could potentially be pulled out of deletion.

But if you didn't ever press record, it was, i assumed never that no i recorded the whole thing did you by any chance run data recovery i did yeah i hold i held alt f469 and uh ran it flawlessly

you make it sound like it's a fake thing oh i ran listen i ran all the data recovery you need

They said, do you want more data recovery?

And I said, Gavin, we want more.

So yes.

More data recovery, please.

Gavin, I don't know.

I don't know if he's taking the data recovery very seriously, man.

Oh, I take the...

I've got to write a list of things that annoy Andrew.

There's data.

Oh, I'm not.

I'm not annoyed.

He's definitely annoyed.

Here, here's my file.

Oh, it's too powerful.

That makes sense.

Yeah.

I'll send my file to you, Gavin, and you can tell me if it's corrupted or missing or whatever.

You do have a file then.

You said no before.

Yeah, I can't even upload on Slack.

I didn't think I did.

Sometimes Elgato does a thing where it makes a folder, but there's no files in it.

Where this one, it made a folder and it made files, but it's just not a, it's like an MP4 that's blank.

Zero kilobytes?

17.

17 gigabytes.

17 gigabytes?

Yeah.

Oh.

That's the file.

What?

That's the.

You've got it.

Upload it here.

You probably can fix that.

It's probably a six header or something.

You probably get that.

Nick dropped a folder so fast it made made my head spin.

Hey, and drop everything in that folder in there, not just the MP4.

Drop the other container files and stuff, too.

One sec.

One sec.

If this, if

this solved it, that's crazy.

We go through here, drop it in.

And they're loading.

It's three files.

It's going to upload for a little bit.

First one failed.

We also need to get more space on the regulation Gmail account.

First one failed.

Yeah, I'm putting all the...

I'm backing up the whole Google Drive right now.

Okay.

Well, no, it's the email account specifically.

The regulation pod email only has 15 gigabytes

space.

And it's...

Can we up it?

Yeah, absolutely.

Just somebody.

I don't have that info to do it.

I'm saying

we can delete everything after I finish this backup.

But it's Eric's uploads are on it.

Eric's uploads?

Whenever you upload anything, it applies to the regulation pod account.

What the fuck?

And I've been dealing with this quietly for months.

I just delete things that have been uploaded to keep it below 15 gigabytes.

What?

I'm logged in as me.

How is it uploading?

I don't know, but it's like all of your file.

It's all whenever we record anything.

Wait, so you've been deleting stuff before the backup?

What have you deleted?

I've been whatever he did.

I don't know.

Whatever he's there.

Oh, oh, oh, no.

Are you serious?

Yeah, you've just been deleting random stuff.

Oh, once it's uploaded, it's good to go.

It's ready to launch.

People are seeing it.

We have uncovered something here that I don't think we were ready to uncover.

Gavin, if you need the video, it's on YouTube.

You just pull it from YouTube.

There's gonna be.

I'm gonna be killing.

He's gonna kill it.

He should not be able to do anything.

Let me write in my notes things that annoy Gavin.

Deleting our files?

Pretty annoying.

It's quite annoying when that happens.

Well, at least Eric has all his files backed up because everybody backs up all their files.

No, I don't.

I don't keep my shit.

I back up the files, you fool.

If you delete them before I back them up, how am I backing them up?

Well, I keep all my stuff locally, too.

You yell at me to save all my stuff locally all the time.

So I just assumed that Eric also was saving all the stuff locally.

You're doing a lot of assumptions.

I am.

So wait, Eric, you also delete your versions?

Yeah, I don't want my files.

I don't want those.

They go into this Google Drive.

Yeah, but then someone else is deleting them.

Yeah.

The onion continues to delete.

Listen, if you asked me what the fail point was, I wouldn't have guessed Andrew goes in and just deletes something.

Oh, you never know what he's doing.

He just deleted shit.

It's so easy.

To just have an external hard drive that you can dump to at home just in case of Andrew or any other kind of internet shaman

company rule company rule right

don't delete something until it's backed up how about that as a just a bog standard blanket i don't even think that easy

needs to be said i think maybe we just should do that i think it's so fascinating that you're a virtual hoarder I think I think maybe I think it needs to be said because Andrew's just deleting stuff.

That's been uploaded and it's done.

It's fine.

Also, back up locally too.

Yeah.

That's not hard.

I wonder how much stuff is gone.

No more than 15 gigs at a time.

I never would have guessed.

Why were you dealing with this quietly for months?

I mean, why were you uploading on the email account?

That's what I'm saying.

I'm not.

I'm logged in as me.

I don't know why it would hit as regulation.

It defaults to it when you go to Google Drive.

What?

It defaults to what?

I went to upload something from your desk in the office the other day, and when you click Google Drive, it defaults to the regulation pod login instead of yours.

it just means you you signed into that account before your your actual account yes so it just defaults to the that's crazy whatever the preferred one is the prefer the preferred yeah it's my preferred one that's what i would call it well it seems to be yeah yeah yeah

number one preferred one why were you dealing with this quiet landscape why didn't you just say something it didn't seem like that big of a deal generally speaking

release a video delete a video release a video delete a video

it might be my favorite episode we've ever made this is fantastic why are we going to need your,

I don't know, audio for a Let's Watch from a year and a half ago?

Gavin, any thoughts?

Yeah, Gavin.

Why don't we get rid of libraries too?

All right.

Some pep book already got red.

Burn every copy.

But we're not, I'm not getting rid of libraries.

I'm just, it's, it's accessible.

You're just ripping the pages out.

Ripping the pages up.

All of the content is still visible.

But those pages are all on on YouTube.

All of them are visible, viewable things.

We don't need the book.

We've got a picture of the book.

It's not a picture of the book.

It is the book.

We should have the final versions, Gavin.

We're just missing the editor's notes.

I don't understand what the big deal is.

The video exists.

You're trying to save the video for the video, but we just have the video.

Correct.

That is indeed quite a short-sighted approach to Daya.

But we just have have the video.

Good.

So why do we need the video of the not video when we have the video?

I feel like we've been here.

We've done this.

I was just asking.

Had this conversation.

Asking questions about video also annoy Gavin.

Okay.

Let me.

Section two.

Make a note to keep Andrew in read-only mode.

So are we all backed up?

Because I need to delete a bunch from my personal drive because I'm almost full at two terabytes.

I will have the backup done before the end of the day.

Okay.

So

you say you're going to have our backup done by the end of the day.

That means I can delete anything on my Google Drive after.

Let me double check it all first.

Let me give the go ahead.

Go ahead.

Yeah.

No worries.

Just give us the go-head because I'm in a similar boat, Andrew.

I need to delete a bunch of shit.

That I have backed up locally.

But we don't delete Let's Play stuff that hasn't come out yet, right?

No, of course not.

Okay.

You just said delete everything.

So I'm just clarifying.

Good episode.

Thanks, Saddrut.

I won't be deleting Eric's audio fall for this for

two weeks?

Three weeks?

Yeah, Kevin, you got about two or three weeks to figure it out.

Have you guys done your list for the 20 best video games of all time yet?

I sure have.

I can't wait.

No, not yet.

Not yet.

I'm still working on mine.

I was just looking up on Metacritic, the highest rated video games of all time.

Do you you guys?

I wonder if between the four of you, you could guess any of the top three rated video games of all time.

Tetris.

Tetris?

No.

Pac-Man?

No.

These are MetaScore ratings, right?

Baldur's Gate 3.

No.

They're all older.

They're all older.

Nothing past 2010.

Oh, okay.

Kanan Lynch.

Yeah, they nailed it.

It was

Army of Two, Kanan Lynch, and Army of Two Two.

Or three Army of Two.

This is crazy.

Now, that's a co-op series we could hit up.

The internet needs more Army of Two.

Anyway, according to Metacritic, the top three video games of all time are Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time is number one.

Number two is Soul Calibur.

That's the one that blew me away.

And then number three is GTA 4.

Yeah.

I think I played two of those.

I mean, one of them.

What a weird list.

Yeah.

Just going off Metascore.

99, 98, 98.

Below that, it's all Super Mario Galaxy shit.

Yeah, that makes sense.

Some fucking Super Mario Galaxy bullshit on this.

Some fucking suspenders, red hat.

Nonsense.

Definitely how I feel about it, yeah.

It's a mushroom eating fool.

Oh, Jeff, we should,

we did a co-op series, didn't we?

Yeah, we did.

Gavin and and I started our own co-op series, and it was delightful.

Much like the world needed more Army of 2 content, it also needed more Portal 2 content.

Great game.

So that's what we started playing.

That's awesome.

And we were talking about it.

Playing Portal 2 in 2025 might as well be the first time I've ever seen the game.

I have zero memory of any of it.

Really?

Yeah.

That's great.

Yeah, I didn't remember anything.

We were discussing that we could probably do the series again in about five or six years, and it would be like playing it for for the first time again.

Oh, for sure.

Yeah, puzzle games, especially.

I feel like I forget after a year.

Maybe we should track our declining IQ by doing it every five years.

That's a good way to see how dumb we're getting.

You guys killed anything yet in that game?

Do I need to update the time to kill list?

Oh, the time to kill is pretty quick, I think.

Oh, yeah.

I found lots of ways to kill Gavin.

Don't worry.

Well, we have to do two of these today.

Should we wrap this one up and start into the next one?

I guess we probably should.

What an episode, Gavin.

You want to take us away?

This is your episode?

Yeah, since this was a Gavin episode, do you want to ride us off into the sunset?

Thanks for listening to episode 67 of the Regulation Podcast.

Feel free to check us out on Patreon at regulate regulatory.

Oh, I've done it to myself.

Although full circle, came a bit my own asshole with it.

Patreon.

We're regulation pod on Patreon.

You want me to delete that for you?

I can delete it for you if you want.

That hasn't been backed up.

You could go back in time and delete it before I flubbed it.

Okay, here we go.

All right, here we go.

Oh, Nick, we're in the time machine.

Whoa, whoa, everything we have to fix.

Gavin's flub.

He's got one more to kill a trap.

Oh, the machine broke.

We're stuck.

Goodbye.
