and Alyssa are always trying to outdo each other.
When Alyssa got a small water bottle, Mike showed up with a four-litre jug.
When Mike started gardening, Alyssa started beekeeping.
Oh, come on.
They called a truce for their holiday and used Expedia Trip Planner to collaborate on all the details of their trip.
Once there, Mike still did more laps around the pool.
Whatever.
You were made to outdo your holidays.
We were made to help organize the competition.
Expedia made to travel.
Hello, and welcome to another regulation draft.
This is one that I hope might become a yearly draft.
This is the 2025 regulation nickname draft generator.
What we are going to do is each one of us is come up with an, and by the way, I should say this is Gavin's idea, as all are 100% Gavin's idea.
I feel a little bit weird leading this one because this was 100% his idea, but I'm going to do my best.
Okay, so what we're going to do is we each off-screen came up with one nickname for each of the other people in regulation.
We are then going to snake draft it to list everybody's nicknames.
Then we will all end up with four potential nicknames.
What we'll do at that point is spin a wheel and let chance describe what our nickname for the year 2025 is going to be.
Did I do a good job of explaining that, guys?
Fantastic, Jeff.
Great job.
All right, great.
That's great.
It's always hard to translate somebody else's vision, you know?
Yeah, I know.
Great job.
Yeah, no, go ahead.
Oh, yeah, go ahead.
Sorry.
Was this your idea, Jeff?
I think it's pretty clear that it was yours based on everything I just said.
No, this one's nothing to do with me.
I would never take credit for an idea that wasn't mine.
Listen, I already wrote my nickname down for you, so I can't pick humble, but God would I.
Okay, so the way this is going to work is We're going to randomize the names, and then when you're randomized, imagine that what's happening left to right is also going from top to bottom.
So in this anag order, Andrew would never pick a nickname for himself.
Neither would Nick, me, Jeff, Gavin.
So those will remain X's, but this first round, if we use this order, would be Andrew.
So let's randomize, but how many times are we going to randomize?
Five because it's 2025.
We did do five for last draft.
I don't know if that's a factor.
Six because it's one more than the last draft?
Hell yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
Here comes six.
Gavin didn't have anything to say about it.
This wasn't his idea.
Here we go.
One, two, three, four,
five.
Nick, Jeff, Andrew, Eric, Gavin.
And finally,
six.
Ooh, this is Nick, Andrew, Eric, Jeff, Gavin.
So this first round of the Nicknames draft will be everyone giving Nick his nickname.
Andrew, we start with you.
My nickname for Nick, he's an audio guy.
He's a sound guy.
He brings you everything that you need.
I've thought about a lot of different options.
Ended up with Schwartwave is my nickname for Nick.
Oh,
S-C-H-W-A-R-T wave.
One word.
Schwartwave.
Shortwave.
No, I mean, it's like...
Incorporate the last name.
He's an audio guy.
Yeah, no.
Yeah, though, I get it.
Like, it's cute.
It's cute.
I don't like saying it.
Like, it doesn't feel good.
I feel a lot better saying that than his gamertag.
i'll tell you that it sounds like it sounds like something that's very dirty in the urban dictionary yeah oh short wave oh yeah like oh i took a short wave last night i thought yeah i've been very innocent in my thinking of it but i completely see where you're coming from yeah yeah i feel like the lack of the zed really draws attention to the wart yeah
it's a little heavy
it is very ward heavy well nick maybe that won't be your nickname maybe your nickname will be the one that i pick for you and when i think of when i think of nick i only think of one thing and that's Showbiz, baby.
Yeah,
Showbiz Nick.
I think for a year, if we called Nick Ewas of Showbiz, I think that's great.
I think Showbiz is a great nickname for Nick.
Why?
What do you mean?
I'm not thinking Nick, baby.
I'm thinking Showbiz.
Finger guns.
Yeah, I don't think of Showbiz.
To me, I'm imagining like glasses, movie, cool guy, and Nick is not that.
Now I'm just imagining him doing jazz hands into one of those mirrors with all the light bulbs around him.
Yeah.
Oh, I like that.
Oh, I like that.
I don't like showbiz as much as that.
I hope showbiz is the one that gets fixed.
Oh, this wheel is going to be so much fun.
Uh-huh.
Well,
that's where we're at right now.
And Jeff, what's your nickname for Nick?
Well, I must admit, I had the most nicknames for Nick.
Oh, really?
Because
I think it's hilarious.
And
there's a palpable irony in the fact that his name is in the title of this draft.
Nick is the first part of nickname, right?
So you could call him the apostrophe.
You could call him,
I thought paper cut, because a Nick is a papercut, right?
But then I thought, what do I really know most about Nick?
And I know two things that are indelible about Nick.
I know he wears a monkey mask sometimes.
And I know that in the year 2025, he will appear at a mall somewhere in America in giant red boots.
And I thought,
who exemplifies those two qualities?
Boots from Dora the Explorer is a monkey that wears red boots.
I put the picture up in the chat so you can see it.
And so my nickname for Nick is Boots.
Dude, Boots is a really good one.
Boots, I think, is a great one.
I like it.
Boots is such a good nickname, dude.
That rocks.
Boots is it.
I love it.
And that looks like Nick right there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Hey, it's me.
Hey, showbiz, calm down.
Kill out boots.
See, these all work.
These are great.
These are great.
And
that's three of the four nicknames.
Now we leave it up to Gavin for the final nickname for Nick.
Well, Nick's a real busy guy.
Sometimes we want to film videos and, you know, Nick's off doing something a lot of the time.
His car's in the shop.
His car's often in the shop.
So my nickname for him is the mechanic.
Oh,
real good.
And I like a nickname that's like a role.
It's like, you know, there's Jimmy, there's Steve, and just that's the mechanic.
That's pretty good.
That is pretty good.
I'm so excited to see what your nickname's going to be.
Well, that's all of Nick's nicknames I really like, and that's Shortwave Showbiz Boots in the Mechanic.
Nick, how do you feel about those?
You like them?
I feel good.
Of all of them, I think Shortwave is the one that I want least.
Really?
Well, that one came from Andrew, and now it's time for you to nickname Andrew because our second round is Andrew Nicknames, and we start with Nick.
Oh, boy.
Well, I was thinking, what do we know about Andrew?
We know he's a Winnie the Pooh guy.
He's like to wear pants,
but
his name is Andrew.
That's also true.
So I
kind of combine them into a fun little deal where he's going to be Andy Pants.
I hate it.
Jack and I hate it.
Honestly, I love Andy Pants.
I think that is a good nickname.
Dude, you're like, it's like a Joey Pants situation, dude.
Yeah.
I don't like pants.
I don't like the name Andy.
It's a double threat of things I do not enjoy.
Nick, you just took a nickname away from me and I'm not even mad at you.
Oh, no!
No, I didn't come up with Andy Pants, but I came up with something similar.
Wow.
I was thinking the same thing.
Winnie the Pooh, Pooh Bear, and Drew.
I came up with Drew Bear.
Why do I like that pants so much stronger than Drew Bear?
Yeah, well, that Jeff's gonna change his, but before we get to Jeff's, we gotta get through mine.
When I think of Andrew, there's only one thing that I think of, and that's Gizmo.
Yeah,
Gizmo.
I'll take Gizmo.
I love it.
I don't mind that.
See,
I think it could be a Gizmo.
I think it'd be, oh, dude.
Oh, where's Gizmo?
Oh, Gizmo's taking us through a crazy video.
Oh, he's
Yep.
He's doing something.
Never know what Gizmo's up to.
Oh, that right there?
That's Gizmo.
That's.
Oh, yeah.
I'm feeling good about Gizmo as a nickname for ages.
It's like, oh, no, Andrew's in Giz mode again.
This really works.
I think Gavin's befuddled by my two nicknames so far.
Sophiz and Gizmo.
Fucking
also jank puppets.
Keep that in mind as we get deeper.
Jeff, what is your, we already know that you had
a nickname that you're wiping off the board, but what's the one you're going to go with?
It's okay.
I'm going to go with my backup, which I like as well.
One thing I think we all know about Andrew is that he is wholesome and wonderful and sweet and kind and gentle.
And he's like, he's like, Andrew to me is like a big warm hug, right?
Yeah.
And I think that that's a, it's great that we know that about him, but I also think that there's a darker side to Andrew.
Oh, another thing.
He's got Raymond Somer in the background.
He's like, becomes a different person.
He may or may not be affiliated with the Vancouver child kicker.
We know he likes to watch women pee on at Ms.
Miles.
Like there are these little dark elements that you see, but none of them can be truly tied to him.
But what do we know about Andrew?
that we can tie to him.
I want to toughen him up a little bit because we know how wholesome he is, but I want the world to feel a little bit of his edge.
So I looked at like the last year and here's what I came up with.
Andrew panton the herman miller killer oh i like that oh
what they said it couldn't be done but he did it the hurt so herman the the herman miller killer yeah or herman miller killer whatever the herman miller killer yeah okay so you might just be shortened to herman sometimes
yeah or killer
well
or miller
there's there's a lot of there's a lot at play as long as it's not her killer i'm okay with it okay All right.
Well, Andrew's nickname for 2025 could be the Herman Miller killer.
Gizmiller the Herman Miller killer.
It could be this next one that Gavin's going to lay down for us.
Well, as we all know, Andrew needs to eat the goddamn pencil, right?
Because we're still into that, all right?
Okay.
Inside the pencil is what people used to think was lead.
It was actually graphite, but people call it the lead.
Still do.
On the periodic table, lead is represented by the the letters PB.
Why is that?
I looked it up.
It's Latin for plum bum.
I give you plum bum.
Well,
how you feeling about Andy Pants now?
I still have that rank at the bottom.
I'll take plum bum over Andy Pants.
Wow.
That's how much I dislike Andy Pants.
Now, I gotta say, of these names, you gotta be praying for Gizmo.
Yeah, I think Gizmo's the best.
I don't mind Herman Miller, Killer, or Gizmo, that's for sure.
But I definitely, after Andy Pants, it was the first time it occurred to me I might not like any of the names on the wheel, and that is scary.
Now, if it helps, that's all I've been thinking about: is I'm not going to like any of the names on the wheel, but we go to me in the next round, and it starts with Nick.
Could you make it one word, by the way?
Oh, is it plum?
It's just plum.
It's plum.
Oh, boy.
Oof.
Okay.
All right.

Uh, Nick, this third round is Eric.
All right.
Well, what do we know about Eric?
What do we know?
We know
he's tough under pressure.
He holds it together.
He's great.
He's real solid.
He's simple and easygoing.
Well, I have named Eric EZ E.
Whoa.
Okay.
I love it.
I love it.
That's great.
And it's the one that I'm hoping for so far.
And I have a feeling with the way the rest of this round is going to go, it's probably going to be the one I'm hoping for in the end.
Isn't that, I mean, didn't the last EZE die of AIDS?
He did.
Yeah, but that's fine.
I got to carry on that
tradition.
Oh, plus, the name, the name is free now, right?
Oh, so that was easy.
That was EZ E with a Z.
Z.
That's an excellent point.
Yeah,
so there's a little difference.
Easy E, the first nickname for me.
Andrew, what do you got?
Oh, boy.
Okay.
Well,
you can throw me on the you're not going to like it pile.
No shit.
I thought about EZ E, but I thought that that's already associated with somebody else.
Had a bunch of different nicknames.
I ultimately landed on,
there's, as we've talked about a lot, things we know to be true.
There's
just indisputable evidence of you hanging out with Ratty Boy, being best friends with Ratty Boy.
So I figured, what better nickname than Rat E-Boy?
Rat capitalized E
Boy.
Ratty Boy.
Yeah, at least you're right.
I'd hate it.
Is it like this?
Yeah, that works.
Oh, I like that.
Ratty Boy.
Ratty Boy.
Yeah.
Cool.
I'm cool.
I'm glad you guys like it.
That's great.
Well, totally hold on for an easy E on this one.
Don't apologize for something you're not sorry for.
Jeff.
Jeff.
Jeff.
Well, don't hold off.
You might.
Listen, you haven't heard my nickname for you yet.
And I took a lot into consideration when I picked it.
And I think that there's a chance you might absolutely love it.
And if you do, we'll learn a little bit something about you today.
But I was thinking, what do I know about Eric?
I know that he's a little guy.
I know
he has a small wife.
I know that he, I know that he, uh, he's the president of our company.
I know he likes baseball and I know you like rats.
So I put all those things together and I came up with a nickname for you that I think you'll absolutely love.
As the president of regulation, I think your new nickname could be Lil Trump.
Dude, that's the craziest.
I mean, just so we're clear, I won't be taking that nickname no matter what.
Even if it lands on it, we'll just redo.
So that's fine.
I mean, that's up to you.
I'm definitely not taking Lil Trump.
God.
You got to take whatever the wheel gives you.
You got to take whatever the wheel gives you.
I think my nickname for Jeff is going to be Dumb Fuck Stupid Asshole.
And that just might be what he has to be for the rest of that year.
That could be it.
We'll see.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Cool.
Great.
Kevin.
Well, I'm going to go the opposite of Nick.
Nick is focused on the E.
I'm removing it completely.
And I'm going to go with Lil Ricky B.
That actually was a backup of mine.
Lil Ricky B.
Lil Ricky B.
Okay.
There it is.
Lil Lil's on the board.
Easy E, Lil, Rat E-Boy, Lil Trump, which I won't be using.
And Lil Ricky B.
There you go.
That's
those are four nicknames.
What I really like is that I've noticed the more preamble before the name, the more the person thinks that you're going to dislike it when they deliver it.
Oh, yeah.
So he gave Nick the nickname Boots
and then he said
Lil Trump.
All right, man right on what seemed to fit, you know, cool, man.
Yeah, that's great.
Yeah, 100%.
Might
might talk to the attorney and fold this company.
Nick!
Next is Jeff's nickname, and this is where you start.
Nick, what do you have for Jeff?
Well, what do we know about Jeff?
We know he has a dog.
He loves dogs.
He is a big hot dog fan.
He's the one that's going to eat as many hot dogs as the average man, according to that thing that Jeff found online.
I think that we could do Doggy G interchangeable with G-Dog.
I'll take it.
I love Doggy G.
I'll take G-Dog or Doggy G.
That's a really usable nickname.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'll take it.
Yeah, man.
Doggy G is pretty good.
I like Doggy G.
Did you imagine it, Nick, as D-O-G on G-Dog or D-A-W-G?
D-O-G.
There you go.
Yeah,
I feel like more of a D-O G.
Yeah.
Yeah, I just think because it's doggy G, it should be G-Dog.
But, Andrew, it's your pick for Jeff's nickname.
I was sweating during Nick's preamble because I only have one nickname for all of you.
And mine also is hot dog related to Jeff.
I'm glad we didn't go in the same lane.
When I think of Jeff,
two things that really stand out, his love of hot dogs and his love of Dallas.
So what better way than to combine the two?
My nickname for Jeff is Boss Dog.
Oh,
oh,
I want to see him walking around, all white outfit, big cowboy hat, just jumping on the dogs.
He's a great name so far.
Yeah, that's real.
Double G on You.
I think everybody's names are great, personally.
I had some good names.
I had a few.
Like, I only had one nickname for Andrew and only one nickname for Nick, but I have one, two, three, four, four, five for Jeff.
And the one I'm going to go with is Baby Pepsi.
Baby Pepsi.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, that might be my favorite so far, actually.
Yeah.
I like that.
I mean, just imagine walking into the room.
There he is.
Oh, dude.
Here comes.
Here comes Shobiz Gizmo and Baby Pepsi.
Baby Pepsi.
That's baby Pepsi right there, dude.
I love it.
Yeah.
There's baby Pepsi.
Thank you.
Yeah.
I'm an animatronic and Nick Showbiz pizza, and we only serve baby Pepsi.
Baby peps?
Oh, shit, baby products only, bitch.
Gavin, you've known Jeff the longest, right?
Like, what kind of nickname you giving this guy?
Well, his name is Jeffrey Laser Ramsey.
Um, and I just thought I'd hack a few letters out of here and there, you know, maybe keep the G and the E of Jeff, maybe like the Z, you know,
geezer.
Just straight up geezer.
Is it geezer or geezer?
No, it's ER because okay, making sure.
Like an older, like an incredibly old dude, geezer.
There's Geezer.
I guess I am old.
All right, I'll take it.
There's Geezer.
Okay, we got the nicknames for four of the five members of the regulation crew.
We finally go to Gavin and his nickname.
So, Nick, what nickname are you giving to Gavin?
Well, the thing about Gavin is he still hasn't figured out that goddamn CPAP machine.
It's true, yeah.
And he keeps being miserable.
So I'm going to go ahead and call him Gassy Goo.
Which is what he just made in the bathroom a few minutes ago.
Yeah.
That's so accurate to the last thing I did.
Well, you already have Gabby Goo.
So hello, Gassy Goo.
Oh, man.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Oh, that's nice.
Andrew, what nickname do you have for your friend Gavin?
Gavin's the one I've struggled the most with.
I couldn't think of a great combination for a long time.
I spent a lot of time thinking about it.
Eventually came to the conclusion of
Gavin's name, Gavin Free.
What is Gavin known for?
Bird noises.
My nickname for Gavin, Free Bird.
Oh,
that's decent.
That's pretty good.
I really like that.
I think that is great.
I think doing a like a free thing is really good.
I was just going.
I was going to just go like drop free.
I'm like, oh, maybe free.
Maybe that's an easy one.
There's a couple different things that I was going to go with.
I was going to try to do like a bond thing or whatever.
Kind of like, you know, like Gabfinger.
Like, I thought that would be like fun or whatever.
But instead, I'm going with Lil Spooky.
Lil Spooky.
Lil Spooky.
What if everybody's nickname is Lil in 2025?
Well, Lil's out there.
I can see it.
Why Lil Spooky?
Hey, what's up, everybody?
It's Lil' Spooky, Lil Ricky B.
I don't think Lil Spooky is the thing that Gavin's ever been, which I like about his nickname.
I don't know.
No one's ever fed me.
It's like when you call a tall guy tiny.
That's what I'm saying.
You got a little...
Oh, man, what's up?
He's a little spooky.
Dude,
that's a little spooky.
And now, finally, Jeff, you've known this guy the longest, right?
I have.
What kind of nickname are you giving to him?
Well,
you know,
Gavin's been in my life for a very long time.
I've comes to the preamble.
I've known a lot about Gavin.
I feel like I have lived inside his head, and vice versa.
We are, he's my best friend in the entire world, and so I wanted to really get something that kind of distills Gavin down to his pure essence.
Like, what is if you peel away all the layers of the onion, what are you left with?
And that's why I think in 2025, Gavin's nickname should be Dan's friend.
Holy shit.
Wow.
Oh, my God.
The water balloon kink guy?
So I have to.
We have to call him Dan's friend.
So I'm just going to introduce myself as Dan's friend to people who don't know him.
I am Dan's friend, Gavin.
I am Dan's friend.
I'm Dan's friend, Gavin.
I've been watching him on the wallboard.
That is maybe the funniest way to describe Gavin is Dan's friend.
Oh, dude.
It might be the least respectful thing.
It's just said with such an abundance of love and affection, too.
I hope you all know that.
Dude, I am.
That's so funny.
Well, we picked the nicknames, but it's not over because now,
like we do, we must leave it up to the wheel as we go to the name.
The name wheel.
Who do you think's got the best, the best pool?
Like, who, who's gonna be happy either way?
Nick.
Yeah, I feel good.
Nick, I'm pretty fucking happy.
I think Nick is, I think Nick's is Nick's are really strong.
Yeah, Nick is good.
And we're gonna start with Nick.
Oh, sweet.
Yeah, as we do this,
Nick,
you have the names:
Schwartwave,
Schwartwave, Shobiz.
You have Shobiz,
You have Boots.
And you have
the mechanic.
I'm going to shuffle the, because we shuffled six times to randomize the names.
I'm going to shuffle six times before spinning the wheel.
Fantastic.
One, two, three, four, five, six.
And now, Nick, for your
2025 nickname, here we go.
So excited.
The wheel spinning.
What's it going to be?
Oh, my God.
I can't look.
This is nuts.
Nick is the the mechanic.
You got mechanic.
You got his number one.
I'm so sad it's not a short wave.
Well, maybe in 2026 it can be, but for 2025, we can only refer to him as Nick or the mechanic.
Well, there you go.
That is, those are Nick's nicknames.
That's what they are.
And Nick is the mechanic.
Andrew, we move on to you.
As you have been dubbed Andy Pants.
Anything but that.
Gizmo.
I'm going to come back.
with the killer.
Don't mind it.
Plumbum.
Don't love that one as much.
And here we go.
I'm really only trading against Andy Pants.
Pants.
Three, four, five, six.
And the spins begin.
No pants.
No pants.
You're going to put them on pants.
Here we go.
Big pants.
Big pants.
Come on.
Gizmo.
Gizmo.
Gizmo.
Gizmo.
Gizmo.
Oh,
For 2025 will be Gizmo.
Congratulations, Bill.
Of that one.
They're two I really liked.
And
way to go, Gizmo.
I'm next.
And I have EZ E.
I have Rat E boy.
I have Lil Trump, which I will never claim.
And I have Lil.
I believe if it lands on Lil Trump, you're just going to write an executive order that changes the rules.
If you want to change it, if you get to Lil Twump, we can.
Two, three, four, five, six.
Here we go.
Oh boy.
Know what I'm betting on.
Uh-oh.
Lil
Ricky B.
Lil Ricky B.
Honestly, Lil Ricky B works for me.
I am Lil Ricky B for all of 2025.
Gavin, how are you feeling about me going by your nickname?
I like it.
I'm happy with it.
Lil Ricky.
You picked two of the nicknames so far, Gavin.
Yeah, I'm about to say it, man.
Gavin nicknames us.
And next, we go with Jeff, who is Doggy G or G-Dog.
We got
a dog.
Absolutely.
Yeah, absolutely.
Baby Pepsi
and Geezer.
Randomized six times.
One, two, three, four, five, six.
Jeff, are you ready to learn your 2025 nickname?
Here we go.
Fingers crossed for Baby Pepsi.
Oh, my God.
Oh, yeah.
Call him Baby Pepsi.
Oh, my God.
Yes.
And for 2025, Jeff will be known as Baby Pepsi.
Wow.
How you feeling about Baby Pepsi, Baby Pepsi?
I love it.
It's the one I would have been happy with any of them, but that was my favorite.
That was my choice.
Awesome.
Well, we finally go to Gavin and his nicknames.
Jergassi Goo.
Free Bird.
Really like that one.
Really like Lil Spooky.
And finally, the meanest name on the whole thing, Dance Friend.
Randomized six times.
One, two, three, four, five, six, and we begin the spin.
Here we go.
God, if you exist, please give me Dance Friend.
No.
Gassy Goo.
Dan Frank is Dance.
Gassy Goo.
For 2025,
we have a winner, and it's Gassy Goo.
I think it's really funny that Gavin is getting called Gassy Goo for a year because he took a long shit before one recording.
No, he's done it several times now.
He showed up the recordings full of air.
There you go.
This is like the fifth or sixth time, to be fair.
It is, but he came up with it while Gavin was shitting.
Yeah, that's true.
I did.
Well, there you have it.
The nicknames draft is complete.
Let's go one by one.
Let's talk.
Let's talk about it real quick and wrap this up.
Nick, you will be the mechanic.
for 2025.
How are you feeling?
I feel great.
Yeah.
That's fantastic.
Yeah.
Easy going.
It makes me sound cool.
I'm in.
Okay.
It's like someone that people would get into a heist, maybe.
If they had a list of list of people.
That's pretty good.
Yep.
Andrew, for 2025, you'll be known as Gizmo.
How are you feeling about that?
I like it.
It's not something I've ever been called.
It's probably going to take a while to get used to being called Gizmo.
I think it'll be sort of like when you adopt a dog and try to change their name.
Like you're maybe saying it to me and like I'm just not going to react initially, but we'll get there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I feel good about it.
I like Gizmo.
I got Lil Ricky B, which honestly I'm good with.
I live with Lil Ricky B.
I like that.
It's a longer name than my name, but I think it's fun.
Everyone's like, oh shit, Lil Ricky B.
I mean, you could shorten it to whichever combination you want.
Just be Ricky or
be like Lil B.
Lil Rick.
Yeah, whatever.
I like it.
People call me Ricky B.
People call me B.
I think it works all the way.
Nicknames are living documents.
exactly yeah exactly and uh jeff you got baby pepsi how you feeling about it dude i feel so fucking good about baby pepsi i want a t-shirt that says it
dude oh should we do one of those t-shirts that's like the name the name the name the name the name like oh yeah
hey let me practice real fast let me see what it sounds like because i won't be able to do this until after in the podcast until after this episode comes out right because we don't want to spoil our nicknames right yep
hello and welcome to another episode of the regulation podcast my name is fuck I already forgot my name.
Hello and welcome to another episode of the Regulation Podcast.
My name is Baby Pepsi and with me, as always, Lil Ricky B, The Mechanic, Gizmo, and Gassy Goo.
I'm going today, boys.
I'm going to go.
That's pretty good.
That's pretty good.
That sounds like the beginning of a good podcast.
Well, it sounds like the beginning of a podcast I wouldn't personally listen to if somebody said this is Gassy Goo.
But, you know.
How are you?
You feeling about that nickname, Gassy Goo?
Let me look at the other ones.
Yeah, I think it's perfect.
I'm obviously very glad that it wasn't the last one.
A little spooky would have been interesting.
I think I would have struggled to explain why when people asked.
Uh, I'm happy with it.
So, if it had
gone as bad as possible, it would have been like this.
Hello, and welcome to another episode of the Regulation Podcast.
My name is Geezer, and with me, as always, Schwartwave, the Herman, a plum bum, uh, Lil Trump, and Dan's friend, dude.
I, and I think Andrew didn't want Andy Pants, Andy Pants, yeah.
That's tough.
But
my thinking behind the nicknames was
I tried to lean into some stuff where people go like, why is your nickname that?
And then you have to go.
So we had to do like a draft.
I don't really know why my nickname is
a little spooky.
But Gassy Goo, way to go.
That's good.
