Regulation Takes 2

CRM was supposed to improve customer relationships.

Instead, it's shorthand for can't resolve much.

Which means you may have sunk a fortune into software that just bounces customer issues around but never actually solves them.

On the ServiceNow AI platform, CRM stands for something better.

With AI built into one platform, customers aren't mired in endless loops of automated indifference.

They get what they need when they need it.

Bad CRM was then.

This is ServiceNow.

Hello and welcome to another piece of regulation supplemental content.

We're back with our takes and we got a new tankster, Jeff.

Hello, it's Jeff, the new tankster.

That's as the new tankster.

As I'm known around these parts,

like a Flash villain.

Oh no, the tankster.

It's I, the new tankster.

I can come over takes at the speed of light.

You can't beat me.

You'll never catch me, Flash.

My takes too too fast.

Too hot to touch.

I love a deliberate dodge from a pre-existing word.

Like, taker was right there, and you just spun around it.

It was great.

Thankster.

It's the tankster.

It's not the taker.

That guy's dead.

The taker was my father, please.

Oh, my God.

I'm

false takes from an urn.

My take on this might be that I love the tankster.

I'm imagining Jeff doing that laugh, and then it does like a Donkey Kong freeze frame and says the takester below.

It's like a Borderlands 3 intro.

Well, we all are here with our takes.

I'm excited to hear Jeff's takes as the takester.

Does anyone want to open with takes?

Does anyone want to go first?

I don't know about going first, but when I was thinking about the takester, I started thinking about the trickster, the Flash villain, the trickster, which is Mark Hamill.

And I want Jeff, which is Jeff dressed like that.

You know what?

I did feel Jeff was kind of sounding a little bit like Mark Hamill doing the Joker.

It's so funny because in my head, I had one of those stupid jester hats on with the bells while I was making the list.

I didn't make the other connections at all, but I just, in my head, I was envisioning that hat.

Imagine him there, but played by Taylor Kitch.

Oh,

now that would be Taylor Kitch's fault.

That would be a rare occurrence in which he just took a bad role from the get-go.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, Gavin.

That would be a rare occurrence where he took a bad role.

role.

It would just make no sense unless it was like a Scorsese takester movie.

Oh, yeah.

But I want Gavin to go first.

Wow.

I was about to say the same thing.

I want Gavin to lead us off.

Interesting.

All right.

I've done the arsehole one.

Okay, I've got one.

Here we go.

If your dog shits on my lawn, right?

That's a golden bullet for me.

That dog shit is now weaponizable in any way I see fit.

I can flag it back at you.

I can mail it to you.

I can put it in your mail.

Anything goes when you leave me your dog's turds.

So it's not just if it shits in your yard, it's if it shits in your yard and leaves it in the yard.

If they pick it up immediately, are you good?

Or can you still shoot them?

That's fine.

Yeah.

People, okay, people's dogs shitting on my

yard, you know, five, six times a day.

It's that it's the old, the old fella who's leaving it.

Gavin lives on the dog shit highway.

So can your dog shit golden bullet only go after that person or is it usable on anyone at any time?

It has to be a revenge bullet.

Oh.

Oh wow.

Okay.

Okay.

Yeah, I don't think I can then, I don't know, use it against someone.

Someone go after gift.

Yeah, I don't think that's allowed.

It's a golden bullet with a name on it.

Oh.

Wow, bullet with a name on it.

I don't like the imagery of bullet here because I thought you were going to tell me that you could kill the dog without any consequence.

No, the dog's not to blame at all.

The dog needs to go.

I hear bullet and dog.

I think old yeller, like my brain just goes, that dog's getting shot.

It's Christopher Reeves' dog.

So if it's Christopher Reeves' dog and he

in the alternate universe where he's still alive and walking and his dog takes a shit and keeps walking, your bullet says Christopher on it or does it say Christopher Reeve?

It says him specifically.

Like I couldn't then use that against your cousin.

Oh, okay.

That was my question, actually.

You knew exactly where I was going with it.

Yeah.

Sorry, sorry i was looking up bullet with a name on it because i was thinking about it this makes it look like you're going after your grandpa and your dad

it's just bullets that say grandpa and dad with dates

the dates and the dates look like you're

if you

if it did work that way though gavin that would be the most convoluted murder plot ever for a film where you could just be like you hate bill and accounting and you want to kill Bill.

That I didn't mean it to sound like that movie at all.

That was a happenstance.

But

you have to now get people, Bill doesn't even own a dog, but you just have to get people named Bill to walk by your yard in the hopes that one of them will let their dog shit in the yard and not pick it up.

One of them is a piece of shit.

So that you can then transfer that magic bullet to the other Bill in accounting.

I have to resort to like entrapment somehow.

I was always surprised there weren't more COVID murders, you know?

Like people who have like, you know, like say you hate your dad.

He's the fucking worst and he's like health compromised.

Like I'm surprised there weren't a lot like 19-year-old dudes who ran out and tried to get COVID and then take it home to their dad and be like, oh no, dad, I got you sick.

Oh no.

Well, I feel like this.

Do we know?

The beauty of that is that you could get away with it so easily.

It wouldn't ever be known.

It might have been the, yeah, that's a good point.

That might have happened a lot.

It really might have happened a lot.

I don't think we can rule it out.

I thought, because it doesn't occur to me, naturally, Gavin to weaponize the shit I thought you're gonna say that you had the right to then shit on their lawn as a trade-off.

Oh wow That is interesting.

You get equal right.

It goes two ways

I want an equal consequence to the action because I don't want to take the shit there.

I don't I can't it's I yeah, it is uncomfortable.

I'd have to pre-shit and then I'm like the guy with the shit in a bag and my own shit.

You can't pre-shit.

Yeah, you can't pre-shit.

I just think when I'm watching someone's dog, when I'm watching the poo come out of its anus and then watching the man walking it just turn away as if he's about to walk away, if I threw it back at him right then, I would get arrested, right?

Would that be some sort of assault?

Probably.

I would think so.

Even though it's like incredibly good.

I'm going to go to a turn of property.

Well, here's the deal.

It would be his word against yours.

And you have a British accent, which makes you sound more honest and authoritative, I think,

in the grand scheme of things.

But then again, you're also a foreigner and we don't look too kindly on those right now in America.

So that's going against you.

Yeah.

Yeah, I think I need the golden bullet.

What if you lured him onto your property?

What if you ran out and said, hey, look, there's a bar of gold over here.

And then once you walked over, then you threw it at him.

And then I think you're fair game.

The irony is, if he was on your property, you'd probably get in less trouble for shooting him with a real gun than throwing dog shit at him.

Interesting.

Because it's

Texas, man.

If he's on your property, you could pop him.

You could just just say, you could say he was threatening you.

Maybe,

maybe you were going about the, like, how do you plan to weaponize it?

Oh, in my head, just a shovel.

Just fling it to me.

I think you need to build a turret on your house and you just load the shit every time into the turret.

I see that.

And then you're ready to go.

Ready to go.

I mean, how do I already have the dog's shit?

No, no, no.

You're using other dog shit.

You can buy it.

You can buy dog shit on Amazon, I think, in bulk.

Sure.

But I meant more every time it happened, you would load your turret.

And then eventually, whenever it occurred, you just shoot immediately.

And then you collect that dog shit as ammo to replace the thing you fired.

Yeah.

What if you went just as aggressive, but

maybe it'd keep you out of jailway?

What if you just installed a giant air horn on the front of your house?

And then as

the moment is happening, you just blare that horn and it scares the dog to death and the guy freaks out and then they just run away.

Probably stop the dog mid-shit.

Well, how I know he's going to leave it, though?

I just, I don't want to affect the dog.

I think the dog's good.

Dogs love loud noises.

It's that bullshit owner.

That's my take.

All right.

Hey, that's pretty good.

That's a good take.

I like it.

I like it.

I think we all agree with that take.

You know how there's frequencies dogs can hear that humans can't?

Yeah.

Yeah.

You just need to figure out the frequency that he can hear that the dog dog can't, and then blast them back.

It's pretty good.

Maybe find that brown note and have him shit his pen.

Exactly.

That's what I was thinking.

Yeah.

That's great.

Jeff is still, you know, he hasn't gone and everything.

He's, I don't know that he knows exactly what regulation takes is.

So I kind of want to show him like all sides of what regulation takes is.

That was a very shit-based take, but I'm going to give a different take.

Yeah.

My hot take for this, my take for

this episode is that Aaron Rodgers is going to win 14 games.

This season or the rest of his career?

No, no, no.

What kind of like games?

This season might be the rest of his career.

Said hockey.

No, no.

They'll have 14 games as a Pittsburgh Steeler.

He's going to lead the charge.

They're going to win 14 games with Aaron Rodgers.

His Achilles is healthy.

He's been eating mud.

He changed to a different helmet.

He's not playing the first preseason game.

So he's going to be even healthier than every other quarterback in the league.

He knows exactly what he's doing, and he is poised to embarrass every sports analyst out there.

Oh, they're going to have what's like such a midseason.

They might win five games.

They're going to win 14 games with Aaron Rodgers.

I would be amazed if Aaron Rodgers makes it to week eight.

Well, you better be amazed when he makes it to week 18, baby, because they're going all the way to 14 wins.

I'm not saying they're going to have like a big playoff run.

I'm saying they got 14 wins under their belt.

Aaron Rodgers is going to come out.

Everyone's like, well, he can't scramble because he's uh hurt and uh bad but that's okay because uh

his new offense totally redefined totally different totally

they have they have like uh najee harris they have uh

i don't think he's there anymore is he not there what about that they got that tight end right

they do what's his name not is it fryermuth is that the tattoo yeah

fryermuth they got him uh

so let's just go through their schedule really quickly.

Oh, that's actually a real.

Oh, that's actually a real reason.

Eric, you tell me where the wins come from.

Yeah, you're not going to be able to do that.

Gavin, you're going to love this part.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Let me pull up the Steelers schedule for this year.

I got it.

Okay.

Go.

Steelers, Jets.

Okay.

Steelers, Jets.

That's at the Jets.

That's a win.

That's an Eastern Sawyer.

They're definitely going to win.

They're coming out 1-0.

Absolutely.

Seahawks, Steelers.

Seahawks aren't what they used to be.

They used to be a real Titan.

They had the Legion of Boom.

A lot's different now with the Seahawks.

It's going to be a close game,

but it's going to be Steelers all the way.

Steelers, Patriots.

That's an easy win for the Steelers.

I believe it's in division as well.

So

the Patriots are going to play hard, but they're just not the team that they used to be.

Vikings, Steelers.

That's going to be a toss-up, but

I think that the Vikings are going to be too thrown seeing a former Green Bay Packer quarterback helming the Steelers quarterback.

And

that's going to be a win right there for the Steelers.

Browns, Steelers.

That's a given.

Yeah, you know what?

It's going to be closer than you think, but it's going to be the Steelers right there.

Don't the Browns have six quarterbacks or something?

Yeah,

they do.

They're going to start.

They're going to start Shader Sanders in the preseason.

It's such a lose-lose situation.

It's awesome.

It rocks.

If he's good, they're fucked.

If he's bad, they're fucked.

It's so cool.

Steelers-Bengals.

You know what?

I'm going to say the Bengals win that one.

It's a Thursday night game.

Aaron Rodgers isn't a Thursday night guy.

Packers, Steelers.

Oh, that's an easy win for the Steelers.

Packers don't have anything going for him right there.

Colts, Steelers.

That's definitely the Steelers.

Colts are terrible.

That's exciting.

Anthony Richardson already injured.

Already injured.

It's been like three plays of him, and he's done.

Tough.

The Colts quarterback last season, Gavin, got in major media trouble because he took a playoff because he was tired.

Yeah, he said I'm too tired.

That's a not ideal move as your quarterback.

The game was like on the line.

He's like, man, I'm tired.

I don't want to do this.

He pulled himself from the game.

He was in the game and decided he was tired?

Yeah.

Yes.

And he pulled himself.

And they're like, were you hurt?

And he's like, nah, I was just

exhausting out there.

Yep.

So Bears, Steelers.

You're looking at, you skipped a bunch because you didn't even talk about the Chargers.

But that's okay because the Chargers Chargers are going to lose to the Steelers.

However, the game after that,

the Bengals there, Bengals are beating the Steelers again.

They can't.

Once again?

Yeah, they can't escape that team.

That's tough.

So that's their second loss.

The Bears, this is where the streak gets a little fluky.

The Bears are going to beat the Steelers.

And then the Bills are also going to beat the Steelers.

But Andrew, run me through the rest of the school.

And they win out?

Oh, Andrew, run me through the rest of the schedule.

Bills, Steelers.

oh,

that was a win.

Steelers, Ravens.

Yeah.

Oh, the Ravens lose all Steelers all the way.

Whoa, okay.

Dolphins, Steelers.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

Oh, Dolphins, Steelers.

Oh, Steelers, much stronger.

The Steel, much stronger than Dolphins.

Steelers, Lions.

Oh, Lions,

it's going to be close, but they're already looking forward to Christmas, and you know it's the Steelers, baby.

They lost their offensive and defensive coordinator.

Yeah, that's true.

Big shakeup.

Steelers, Browns, once again.

Oh, it's Steelers all the way, baby.

And then last of the season, Ravens, Steelers.

Yeah, how many games did I say they lost already?

Was that three or four?

That was four, I believe.

Yeah, so they went out and they beat the Ravens again.

Easy schedule for Aaron Rodgers Steelers.

That's my hot take is that Aaron Rodgers, 14 games.

I can't wait to watch the Steelers the season games.

Yeah, I'm now so invested in the NFL season purely because of this take.

Aaron Rodgers, 14 wins.

No one's going to see it coming, baby.

Such a wild take.

You're going to see Aaron Rodgers put on the black and gold or yellow or whatever their color is, I guess, technically.

And that he's, oh boy, he's going to take

it.

How many wins do you think, irrespective of this take, how many wins do you think the Steelers are going to get this year?

Me, sorry, or Gavin?

Andrew.

Gavin has no fucking wins.

Seven.

No, he's our NFL expert.

I've been waiting for him to weigh in on this.

I think seven wins.

I pencil him in for nine.

Gavin?

This is American football, right?

They say American football, yeah.

It's four.

Oh, wow.

Four and a half.

Yeah, Gavin.

Gavin might win this one.

When Gavin said, is this American football, it occurred to me that if we would have said, no, it's European football, I don't think it matters what country of football it is.

No.

You're not following it super closely.

Well, I didn't know if it was basketball or like ice or something.

That's fair.

That's totally fair.

I just don't think it matters necessarily.

I think your knowledge is equal.

Gavin knows that the NFL season is much shorter than the NBA season.

So, you know, that is true for an NBA season, it would be ludicrous.

It would be hilarious if you would have had an MLB take and we went through all of their schedule.

God, that would have been insane.

Well, that's my take.

Aaron Rodgers, 14 wins.

Yeah, yes.

It's a take that I'm heavily invested in.

Yeah, see, that's what, see, Jeff, that's what it is.

It doesn't have to be something so wackadoo.

It could be something normal, like Aaron Rodgers wins 14 games.

No, I hear you, man.

That's all the take.

Yeah.

When I think normal, I think Aaron Rodgers.

He's out there.

He's eating mud.

He's doing his thing, baby.

My take, and this is something I feel very passionately about, keys to the city should work.

If you get a key to the city, it should at least unlock every door that is operated by the city for a year.

Let's say a year.

Like all tax-paid doors.

All tax-paid, that's a great way to frame it.

All tax-paid doors, that key works.

It should be special.

When I was a child and I heard someone had a key to the city, that meant a lot.

And then as I grew up, much like Santa Claus, that magic went away.

Now when I see key to the city, I just think it's, it's kind of a lame thing because it doesn't even work.

It's a pointless key.

It's kind of an insult as far as an award goes.

You're giving them something useless up front.

All keys to the city should work.

And there should be consequences if you make a bad call and you give it to somebody who should die.

There should be consequences?

I don't know.

He goes in, the person, they steal everything from a place.

Maybe they're robbing a bank.

I don't know.

But the key to the city should be a thing that holds a lot of weight and comes with consequence if you happen to give it to the wrong guy.

Did he get some keys at some point?

I bet he did.

Would you be mad if it was a key card?

Or does it have to be the shape of a key?

Oh.

Oh, I'm fine with a key card.

Yeah, I don't mind necessarily the shape or the design of the key.

It's more the functionality of it.

Right.

Maybe it's even a thing where, like, at the airport, you get to go through a special exit or whatever, so you could leave more easily or come in more easily.

Like, you can avoid security.

What if it's a situation like my old house where you enter in a code to get into the front door?

Can you get like a keypad code to the city?

Ooh, that might be the most practical way to do it so they could change it every year.

Yes,

having to change the locks every year.

But you have to remain in good standing with your key to the city.

Well, I assume that they give keys to the city yearly, but maybe they don't.

I don't know what the general...

It'd be interesting to see the ratio of keys to a city being given away.

Like, are there certain states that give away way more keys than other ones?

I don't know.

It seems like there should only be one key in play per city, right?

Yes, absolutely.

And I think it needs to be known who it is.

Because let's say we have a situation where somebody accidentally leaks their key to the city.

Chaos erupts.

There needs to be an individual responsible for that.

Wow.

yeah i'm thinking like serial numbers on the keys or if it's a code like they just keep track of okay this is the only person with this active code currently the thing is i feel like so many government or like state buildings are open anyway and you're only going to be able to get into like the closets and the supply here's the thing you commit a crime you go to jail they put you in a cell you can use your key to get out of jail why they gave you the key

there's nothing they can do about it i don't think they're renewing your key for next year if you get put in jail.

No, I don't think, you know, you'd have to be incredible to get back-to-back keys to the city.

That'd have to be amazing.

And that would actually increase your case to win next year how responsible you are using the key in the year in which you were gifted it.

Yeah, I'm looking at a Wikipedia article of list of keys to the city in the United States, and it has by state and then by city how things were given.

And in San Diego, it lists only three.

And the first one is the rock band, The Beatles.

The second

that's in 1965 the second one is 2021 for a singer named uh andre ta uh andre day

and then the last one is may 23rd 2023 the lincoln hornets high school football team i would not trust a high school football team with a key to the city that worked no

government would uh all the elected officials would get thrown out if that were to occur you can't give that much power to a blanket organization

especially a football team.

That's a lot of players.

Your house, man.

That's crazy.

Wow.

Oh, it should absolutely work.

It's all taxpayer buildings and the mayor's house.

You get a key to the mayor's.

That also functions.

You can use the hot tub.

You can go there whenever you want.

You can use the hot tub.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

I looked up Dallas, the city of Dallas in 2018.

Dirk Novinsky.

Okay.

2011, Michael Vick.

Oh.

yeah.

Well,

post-jail, Michael Vick, but still an interesting thing to give

you a post-jail Michael Vick.

That's tough.

I like the idea of them giving it to Dirk in an attempt to keep him in the city.

I didn't even consider that.

Like, he was a free agent that year, and they were like, let's lock him in.

He's not going to get a key to the city wherever else he's going.

Are they often like giant power?

Giant, like, ceremonial keys, like the big checks.

They are.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Typically, not that big, though, but like huge for a key.

I wonder if anyone got a giant keychain to put them on.

Like, who has the most city keys?

Who's gotten the who's received the most keys to a city or to cities?

Uh-oh.

Uh-oh.

Uh-oh.

Eric with the Diddy key.

Uh-oh.

Oh, no.

They need to change the locks on that one.

Yeah.

That's a big key.

Uh-oh.

That is a big key.

It's not even...

It appears that maybe he has a few.

Oh, man.

He's

got the biggest keychain.

That's the same key, I think.

Is it?

He's just wearing a different shirt?

Maybe he just travels around with it.

I think he took the jacket off.

I think it's the same shirt.

Oh, thank God.

At least he only has the one.

At least he only has the key to the city of New York.

Well, I know what our thumbnail isn't.

Yeah.

Hey, but you know who can stop him?

The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a key to the city is a good guy with a key to the city.

Billy Joel's coming in to put a stop to it.

Oh, God.

This is crazy.

A lot of celebrities at the key.

It is interesting that the Beatles got them.

That's an organized, like, that's a blanket thing.

I think that's the right size.

I can trust four people.

Four men.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

Saddam Hussein receives the key to the city of Detroit.

Oh, no.

That's wild.

Here's my new take.

If you receive a key to a city, there should immediately be a federal investigation opened up into what you're up to.

I will say the thing that made me really think about this that I do think is very exciting.

is I talked about recently in the podcast, there's a Larry King estate sale happening.

And one of the things available is a set of Key to the City awards that Larry King had won.

you could buy larry's city keychain you could buy four of his keys to the city there's another one by itself but you could get a set of four san francisco city miami new orleans and cincinnati wow

how much is that going for I think the top bid is currently $200.

Dude, it's current beard, current bid $400.

We could break into everywhere in Cincinnati.

I think we have to, dude, we could say we're the only podcast with a key to the city of San Francisco, Miami, Cincinnati, and what was the other one?

New Orleans.

New Orleans.

They all say they're like one of them is engraved on the back that says presented to Larry King, but the rest of them are pretty generic.

So we can just say that we got it.

I love the idea of an icebreaker where you're like, oh, I've got the key to

San Francisco.

Like, where are you guys?

It's like, it's Larry King's key.

Can we bid on this and win this bid and have these and then take the one that says to Larry presented to Larry King to an engraver and have them put an and sign next to it so it says presentation Larry King and regulation

they need to stipulate that they're non-transferable I can't believe you could sell your signals

they didn't stipulate Andrew can we please please please please please please win this bet

this option's got to set up an account okay

yeah I say I'm good with this one we should get it that's fucking crazy that's so crazy presented to larry king and regulation podcast regulation

just like almost like scribbled scrawled in like the way

the way it's so like it wouldn't have room like it says larry king in dead center so it would have to say and regulation podcast like to like the side but it's all fucking like the letters like don't fit it's like when you run out of room on a whiteboard you go down to the side yeah like the

slash through larry king with an rip next to it and then us like below it or above it.

Dude,

I gotta win this.

If you've got the key to the city, they should give you a discount on benches.

Yeah, definitely.

Definitely.

We could also go above Larry King.

There's a little bit of room there.

And it could say presented to regular

podcasts, not Larry King.

Oh, wow.

But

I don't want to take away his accolades.

Yeah, I was going to say

having Larry King play second fiddle to us on the key to the city is, I think, fucking awesome.

That's pretty cool, too.

Should just attempt to use the keys.

Oh, man.

Try to break into like kind of funny studio or something.

Yep.

Just like go door to door, try to open houses.

I want to send emails to every mayor's office of this place and say like, dear, dear city, I recently acquired Larry King's keys to the city, and I want you to be aware that they do not work.

I could not open a single door.

You may need to fix your locks just a heads up.

Oh, man.

Andrew, this is a a good take.

This is fantastic.

It should work.

Yeah, it should work.

And I'm excited that we may acquire Larry King's keys to the city.

Yeah, this is pretty good.

Jeff, you've seen how it's played now.

You got your first take.

What do you think?

Let me look through.

I got

plastic is the best drinking device.

If you want to be cool when you're taking a shit, you could put sunglasses on.

I hate how when I'm riding my bike, I got to stop to eat.

Do they, does everything need lore?

See what I'm talking about?

Inverted versus verted controllers.

Interesting.

No, okay.

Here's a take.

You know how in America, we're in a bit of a rough patch politically.

We've got the

one side that's on the left, and then we've got the other side that's on the right.

And they seem to be just drifting further away from each other.

And it's it's just creating a lot of discord and misery throughout every facet of this great nation.

And

I've been thinking a lot about how to fix it.

How do we reconnect?

How do we repair the sides, right?

When I like, it's basically we look at each other's teams, each other's

side of the political spectrum like a sports team, right?

And you're rooting for it.

It's basically to become tribalism.

We've got the red team and the blue team.

This has nothing to do with the cartoon I used to make called Red Team.

If you say so.

If you say so, okay.

It has nothing to do with that.

Other than that, that was a lampoon of this very same thing.

So I guess thematically they're similar.

But I think visually we could start breaking down the walls.

If we eliminate from the political spectrum anyone's ability to use red.

in promotions or blue in promotions there should be one approved color for all political advertisements that color should be purple it should be the same shade of purple so if you are running for republican president you're doing it on a purple platform.

If you are running for a Democratic president, you're doing it on a purple platform.

And if we're all using the same color, maybe that will psychologically help us to realize that we're all pretty similar at the end of the day.

Oh, so like kind of like reset the branding.

Reset the branding.

Yeah.

Do a brand, a branding, a left and right branding reset.

Let's all use the same color palette

and

see where things go from there.

And it would be purple.

Gavin, do you think it's similar in England?

Or are they doing like reds and blues and stuff?

They're leaning in that direction also or what?

I don't think anyone's going for purple.

Okay.

That's real.

Purple's available.

Yeah.

We briefly had a yellow and blue.

Interesting.

Like against each other?

Like it was like yellow against blue?

No, it was like a coalition.

Oh, huh.

But I don't think red was involved.

I think the unifying colors is interesting.

I'm trying to think about it as like a sports team.

I'm trying to to think of like Shaq and Kobe, like they were on the same team, but they were still beefing.

Right, right.

I'm trying to think of unity.

Like, I do feel like when you're on a team in sports, you're willing to tolerate somebody's bullshit, at least publicly.

Absolutely.

A lot more.

Yeah.

There's definitely room for that.

So I do think it's an interesting thought.

Yeah.

If it leads to championships, then you know what?

How do you, you know, how can you argue success?

Purple, I think, is an interesting color, like mixing the two and then just going every, like every sign or whatever branding you use has to be purple now.

It has to be the same shade of purple, right?

Because what is purple, but you know, combination of two other colors.

I'm imagining the effects this would have on like two armies fighting.

Or, you know, maybe, maybe it would be harder to fight.

Maybe armies wouldn't fight because they'd be like, I'm not going to shoot.

I don't know which purple guy to shoot.

Oh, wait, we're all just, we're all fucking purple on the inside anyway.

So why do I fucking hate you?

You know what I mean?

Did that ever happen where one army showed up to a fight with the same colors and they just had to call it off.

I think you'd have to.

A branding curve buffle.

Did Scotland have to send word to England what colors they were wearing that day?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

That's very interesting.

I hadn't thought about the issue being the color discrepancy between everything.

Yeah, I mean, there's a whole lot of social issues as well.

on top of that.

I just think that you tackle it in chunks, you know, and nobody's looking at the color palette as being a part of the problem.

But I think

you might be surprised.

I feel like if you had the Olympics every year, that would also help a lot.

Yearly Olympics?

A yearly Olympics, yeah, because you cheer for the people in your own country, like it creates some

natural

country support and unity for individuals in their athletic feats.

I feel like that could work.

I feel like a yearly Olympics would help unity.

You just gave me a new take.

Wow.

Wow.

It's crazy.

I hadn't thought about purple.

I hadn't thought about

yearly Olympics.

I do like the idea that if everyone's the same colors, you're talking like battles become complicated.

The idea of home and away, like they're sports teams.

Like they need to signal to each other, like, this is my home field.

We're going to go to war in my home field.

So I get to set the color.

We're purple.

You're going to have to be offshoot.

Do you think to test this, we should do it?

in the NBA just for like maybe like a day, like just make everyone be the same color, like home and away.

Like it doesn't matter.

Like everyone just has to wear like the same color.

And then we just see kind of like how it works because maybe the confusion.

That would be even a lot of fun.

I mean, that would definitely show you why war doesn't work with two with the same color.

But

I feel like at the end of the day, the whole idea of the politics in America is that the left and the right are hopefully working in tandem to help America using their two unique perspectives towards the same greater goal.

Whereas in basketball, the goal is to crush the Lakers.

Everyone going in and voting purple.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Hey, purple all the way.

I like this.

I like that.

That's a good take.

That's a good take, Jeff.

Thank you very much.

That's my first take.

That's your good first.

The first take from the takester.

I like it.

We got all the takesters.

Everyone wears purple.

That wraps us back around.

Yep.

Gavin.

What is your second take?

Well, with the advent of Lyft and Uber and other car ride services i feel like a lot of cabs are sitting empty and maybe people are suffering because of that maybe the companies that make cab fare meters what are those things called meter i think is the right word yeah meter i guess the companies that make those are just like oh shit i got got no work coming in keep making them right stick them on leaf blowers oh wow pay to blow getting charged okay all right there's got okay pay to pay to blow blow is maybe a different slogan than pay to blow.

Okay, well,

yeah.

But purple, vote purple, and we will put cap fare meters on leaf blowers.

Just to de-incentivize a lot of questions.

Yeah, go ahead.

Are they coming with the things attached?

Are you paying the company that makes them?

Who's getting this money?

It's just legislation that.

uh they have to be made with them on and that and the only way you can i don't know where the money goes so maybe it's it's a thing where it's like a gun and it has a serial number and you have to like register it yeah

and if you have one yeah and then every year somebody checks to see what the meter is it should have all of entertainment's most annoying drm methods to uh link your fare meter to the leaf blow oh wow i hadn't thought yeah doing drm stuff to it is good yeah and then you could top it up you could put 20 bucks of blow on there and and when it's over you have to put more money in otherwise it won't work work.

It should be a thing where it's overcomplicated.

And if you don't do it correctly, you go to jail because that's your fault.

Yeah, if you do it wrong, it's your fault.

And in five years, there'll be a firmware update that makes it obsolete for that version of Leaf Blow.

So you have to get a new one.

Sounds like our Sonos system at work.

Yeah.

Those are going in the trash.

Those are going in the garbage.

I hate those speakers.

I paid for those.

Then make them fucking work in 2025.

Make them to work.

I think that this is a really interesting idea, Gavin.

Even beyond leafblowers, the concept of having like speakers that have a meter on them.

And if you go over a certain frequency, you get charged.

The idea that like you could inconvenience other people, like an inconvenience tax.

Like you're allowed to do it, but it costs.

You got to pay a loud tax.

Yeah.

A loud tax is interesting.

Leaf blow.

You don't, do you think it would get rid of leaf leaf blowers?

Is that the ultimate goal?

Other if they were charged per use?

Yeah, sometimes like if you're in a if you're in an area with that with bad signal or something, it it can't validate and it just won't turn on.

Something like that.

Something really cool like that.

Always has to be always online.

Oh, it's always online?

Yep.

Okay.

Your leaf blower.

Your leaf blower is always online.

Yeah.

It's like a video game of 2025.

The connection drops, you can't play it.

Yeah.

If you want a leaf blower that's not online, we got a thing for that.

it's called the 360.

use your 360.

just about to mention that

um

i think that's interesting do you think it would maybe change your perception of leaf blowers though because now when you hear someone using it you go what an idiot what a waste if you hear somebody in the context of it being charged Would you then assume that this was an absolute necessity of blowage?

Yeah, it would definitely make me more interested to

go and see what's being blown.

Like, oh, this must be some serious leafage or something.

They need some air.

They need some serious air in this situation.

Things need to be moved.

I think it could make you pro-leaf blower in a weird way.

Hmm.

In what way?

I think there could be scenarios in which he realized, okay, you know what?

A leaf blower was needed in this.

Yeah, I feel like you're right because, I mean, listening to an ambulance siren for like an hour straight would suck, but hearing one for like a minute, you're like, oh, I hope the person's okay, you know?

It'd be like more like that.

Yeah.

This is, could be interesting.

I guess you'll really learn a lot.

You'll really learn like when a leaf blower is needed, like a necessary thing, right?

Yeah.

I think it's like paying for water.

Everybody will bitch about it for five years and then everybody will pay for water.

Yeah.

Everybody will just pay for leaf blow.

Exactly.

It'll be like that.

Everybody will just start paying for leaf blowing.

It'll just become accepted that it costs money to use leaf blowers.

I don't think it'll slow it down at all.

Maybe for like five years, it'll slow it down.

And then it'll just become an accepted fact that this is just a thing that, and

you'll struggle to remember when you weren't paying for water or leaf blowers.

Can you just buy a taxi meter?

Oh, like separate from the cab?

Yeah, can you just buy one of those?

I don't see why not.

Sure.

It's never occurred to me that that's a thing you could buy.

Yeah.

It appears that you can just buy taxi meters.

$365.

That is a lot less than I was anticipating.

God, you could buy four keys to the city for that almost.

I, you know, it could be a fun thing to install one of these in your car and just turn it on whenever you're going anywhere and think about all the money you're saving.

If I was an Uber driver, I would do that just as a visual gag.

This is how much it would have cost if you took a cab.

And then they look at how much it costs if you go, that's about the same.

Or you'd just be like, all right, well, I'm going to start the meter.

I'm going to start the Uber meter.

And people are like, what are you talking about?

I always thought it was weird how at no point with the new technology, did this like a gas, like a petrol meter in a car doesn't have any monetary value next to it.

But like, it should be able to tell you how much you paid for that gas and how much you're spending in that moment.

And I think they just don't want you to know.

It would make people drive less.

Yeah, I mean, I just, I kind of don't want to know how much it costs me to drive somewhere.

There you go.

Yeah.

I drive so infrequently these days.

Same.

That was a great take, yeah.

Yep.

Thank you.

Is it me?

It's mine.

It's my.

It's you.

Okay.

It is back to you, Eric.

I still stand by my original take, Aaron Rodgers winning 14 games, but I'm going in a non-sports direction for this.

If you make a sequel to a movie, you have to honor all previous iterations of the movie.

You cannot do these weird sequel reboots that skip a couple of the movies that you were doing weird soft reboots on and then go, hey, this one's for the fans.

I hate that.

I don't think you should be allowed to do it.

If you can't do it, if you're not able to make the next sequel or whatever in like the

lineaged franchise of whatever you're trying to do, then you're not capable of making it and you can't rewrite stuff that already came out.

Or if you are doing that, you have to refund everyone.

I thought

Terminator, that Terminator, whatever like the last one was

that just like takes place after like Terminator 2 and like totally throws out like five other Terminator movies, I should get refunded for those.

If you are going to do that, I need money back.

Otherwise, it's not cost effective and you need to just make it next one in the line.

I feel the same way about the Jurassic Park movies.

They keep doing this stuff where it's like, like, yeah, we're kind of like disregarding these other ones and like not, yeah, go ahead.

You can only build on the previous word.

Exactly.

You can't recreate, rewrite, or alter it.

You can only add to it.

The lore has been created.

If you want the lore so desperately and you want to do another one of

like Jurassic Park or whatever, because they did Jurassic, what, Jurassic World, and it just takes place after like the first one.

And I don't think it has anything.

I don't, I think it totally eliminates like the second and like the third Jurassic Park movies.

People paid for those.

Yeah.

People paid for those.

Give us money back.

Pay me.

How do you feel about like Cloverfield universes where the movies aren't sequels?

They just all take place in the same universe.

I'm fine with that because it's not necessarily eliminating stuff.

I just think like when Rocky Balboa or whatever comes out and they just go, it's like, how is Rocky fighting again?

Doesn't he have brain damage?

Isn't that like the whole point of like the fifth one?

And then

they don't like, they just totally like eliminate that.

Give me that money back.

So that's actually, Rocky's a great example because they do something really interesting in Rocky 1 where Rocky gets his eye really fucked up.

And that's a big point of Rocky 2 of like he's not boxing anymore because he could lose his eye due to how badly it got fucked up in the first fight.

And they completely abandoned that storyline to create Rocky 3 and Rocky 4.

It never really gets brought up again.

Andrew, weren't we supposed to watch Terminator Dark Fate together?

We were.

I was holding on to the 2008.

I haven't watched it yet, I think.

I haven't seen it yet either.

Yeah, we still need to do that.

Is that what the last one is?

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's the most recent.

It has Sarah Connor in it.

I have a question for you, Eric.

How do you feel about someone whipping out the old multiverse trope to get around that?

See, I think that that's, I think that's the way they'll do it, but I think they're going to lose money doing that.

And I think people will see it as a craven money grab for, oh, yeah, they're, oh, they're doing an alternate universe thing of jurassic park or whatever and everyone'll be like yeah fuck this so that's fine go for it but you you have to eat the consequences and uh like that term i think like that terminator movie did like really really bad like that newest one uh and and it's because it threw out so much incredible lore from what were some of the other ones genesis and

that was

oh that was not a great film i think that this could in a surprising way, bring people back to the theaters.

Because I'm thinking about the requirement in getting your money back.

To me, it's like when there is a suit against Red Bull where they're like, yeah, it doesn't give you wings.

So here's a fund that we are refunding people back with if you can prove that you bought a Red Bull between this time.

You would need to be able to have your movie ticket to get your refund if they do a reboot for the movies that they were removing the lore from.

So then people would be theoretically incentivized to see movies in theaters so they would have their ticket to potentially get refunded in the future.

Hell yeah.

So although they could be losing money by doing reboots, they theoretically might be getting more people in theaters under the assumption of I might get to see this for free, essentially.

Yep.

There you go.

Hey,

it's a gamble you got to take.

Studios, if you're going to make another Jurassic Park that reboots the whole Jurassic Park thing, go for it.

But I give me my money back.

Pay me.

Do you appreciate people like the company that owns Halloween refusing to let anyone kill Michael Myers?

Because they need to make more Michael Myers movies and they have one thing and it's him.

Yep.

Just keep it going.

I mean,

I think they learned from Halloween 3, right?

They're never going to make that mistake again.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I think they, they,

these movies i i my last like the last episode it takes was i had like a lore based take also i just think everything gets too deep in lore and i'm trying to dissuade them from making more sequels to like this stuff or if you're going to make them better uh and if you have to get rid of them then pay me money that's all i do think it also creates a funny scenario in which movies sequels are being made that make no sense and then word gets out that they are this way because the head of that company refused to pay this movie tax.

So they just had to make it in this context that the last one left.

There you go.

Nobody wants to see this movie in this way,

but Movie Studio didn't want to pay to have the refund due to all the lore changes.

So we just are stuck with this movie nobody wants, but we're making because it is a popular franchise.

Yeah, we don't want to lose the IP, so we got to make another Terminator, but it's all in the vein of Terminator because we don't want to repay any of these people.

Now we're talking.

I think it could also create interesting room for like complete genre shifts of what if Independence Day 3 was just about rebuilding the White House and had nothing to do with aliens.

It's just a builder drama.

It just follows a foreman.

Yeah, it's just.

It goes from Halo to Roadcraft.

I think it's a fun take.

Well, thank you very much.

That's absolutely.

That's what I have.

That's my take.

I wonder what that would do for the Bond franchise.

Oh, very interesting.

Those are all out of order and crazy.

Yeah.

Yeah, they're all wacky.

Well, if they're going to eliminate any of them, give them money.

Pay me.

Your sausage McMuffin with egg didn't change.

Your receipt did.

The sausage McMuffin with egg extra value meal includes a hash brown and a small coffee for just $5.

Only at McDonald's for a limited time.

Prices and participation may vary.

I have my second take.

All right.

This is something I feel strongly about.

I don't think anyone will be surprised with this take.

I have a history with them, with this show.

I think Advent calendars should cover every month.

I don't think there should be only one month in which Advent calendars exist.

That's just mail.

I enjoy.

What do you mean?

No, it's not.

It's not mail.

Because when I think of a good Advent calendar, and you can relate to this, Gavin, December, you get your cheese calendar.

You get a little bit of cheese every day, some new cheese.

You get a new thing to enjoy.

You get a new thing every day, a new experience, just a little tiny fun thing i don't think that should just only exist in december give me a june advent give me uh some uh i don't know maybe it's a lemonade a little a bunch of little lemonades i could try throughout the summer over the month

i saw a if this helps andrew at costco the other day i saw a halloween advent calendar so there's at least at least one for the month of october

yes i saw there was uh

the simpsons one yeah which is you know i'm not not necessarily into that product, but I support an October advent calendar.

Maybe it's a sign of them.

There should be more months.

Yeah.

It should be.

I want to have fun every month.

Why can I only have fun every day in December?

Exactly.

Well, expand it.

Doesn't it make it more special, though?

Don't you look forward to December?

I do, but it could be themed.

Every day, you should be able to break through perforated cardboard.

Yeah.

Yes.

Maybe in July, it's little sunscreens.

Some sunscreens.

That could be fun.

Some lotions.

Maybe February, it's a different jerky.

I don't know.

There's a lot of stuff you could do.

February could be chapstick because it's cold outside.

Chapstick is interesting.

Could be some lotion for your dry skin.

I think this is just an interesting way to determine.

Like, I don't really use chapstick.

I don't even know what type of chapstick I would like.

But if I could get a bunch of different chapsticks to make the determination, I would know.

You know what people

have to do with Advent calendar?

I'm not sure how you would store it or keep it nice.

If there was a Cheesecake Factory Cheesecake Advent calendar where you can sample the whole range of cheesecake, you just get a different cheesecake every day.

Just a bite of each cheesecake.

Wow.

I think that'd be phenomenal.

A slice of cheesecake every day.

Just like a little cheesecake cube behind a door.

Now, it wasn't a cheesecake thing, but it was a similar idea.

where there is a really delicious chocolate place in town.

Like they make their own chocolates.

And they did an advent calendar.

And it it was nice for me because typically, when I go there, I'm only going to get what I know I like, which is kind of a limited range.

This allowed me to try a much larger

menu to expand my potential interests in the different types of chocolate they have.

I feel like whenever I've done that with fancy chocolate, I just learn about all the different types of chocolate that I don't like.

Well, don't

the 13th.

I hate it.

Like, did you like most of the mantra?

I enjoyed most of them, but it's also a thing for me where if I were to just buy this thing that I didn't end up liking, that's not fun.

But if you put a mystery behind it and it doesn't feel like I specifically bought that thing, it makes that dislike a lot easier.

Nice.

It's like, oh, I didn't really care for that.

I wonder what'll come tomorrow.

Like, it's not, I see that I regret.

Like, you just got a little bit of bad luck as opposed to you being a chunk.

Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, I like that.

Is there a need to unify the amount of days in the Advent calendar?

Are we doing like summer eight advent calendar days and summer 25 advent calendar like like do you care no i don't think i think it i think it has to follow the actual calendar and then i think the leapier calendar year should be a lot of fun hang on wait wait wait wait wait wait wait hang on so

you are

so these aren't just advent calendars that you could buy anytime and just start and do them as you want you're saying that it should think these things should like cover like a full year i think like they should all be reflective of the month that they're releasing it it's a new calendar every month but it follows the days of the month yes it follows oh so it does go it goes like the full month like these should go the full month yeah it goes every day in the month so and like when we have an extra day okay got to cover that should we do a one-time supplemental where we spin a cal we spin a wheel of let's say 11 months And then the month we land on, we then create an advent calendar.

What would be in the advent calendar for that month?

I'm all for it.

That sounds fun.

you're saying that like what like

say we land on march yeah then we create the regulation march adventure advent calendar i'm not saying we put it into production we just say like on the first these are the 30 things you learned i think in march yeah yeah

and it should feel like it's tied to that month somehow yeah it would be month appropriate so it'd be like if it was may it'd be a lot of easter themed shit you know like july would be a lot of fireworky for you know uh patriotism shit i would assume september would be back to some of them back to school themed

you know imagine getting imagine opening your july advent calendar and it's the 18th and it's like oh another firework and it's oh yeah but you get to you get this you get it leading leading up to it you're probably getting like an american flag koozie or something on july 18th but yeah

so it's american specific it doesn't have to be

interesting

that's just the first thing that pops into mind when i think of summer in america is

yeah yeah that's fair and that is my take.

I like trying different advent calendars for different stuff like that.

That's uh all right.

So I'm gonna write this down.

Okay, put it in the bit barrel.

Calendar wheel month make

calendar wheel month make.

Yeah, calendar wheel month make.

I write like Charlie Kelly reads.

Great.

And with that, we go to the takester for their final pass.

Okay.

So so my final take my second take of the episode i'm so excited to be able to get to this is a take that andrew actually put into my brain about 18 minutes ago so it may not be the the most thought out take in the world i apologize i'm kind of writing this in real time so bear with me but i you know earlier i'm trying to i'm trying to come up with takes that improve the quality of humanity improve the quality of the world Like with my first take, there was a lot of division, at least in my country,

America, United States of America, not feeling so united right now.

And maybe if we were all feeling a little more purple, maybe we would, right?

Similarly, I'm thinking

taking that a little bit

and putting it on a global scale, right?

It's a fractured world we're living in right now.

When we're at our best, it's, I think, as a as a global society, it's when we're all competing in...

Andrew's aforementioned Olympics, everybody rooting their country on in the spirit of competition, good-natured competition.

And even though we're rooting against each other actively, we're all kind of rooting for the competition in the same, in the same way.

And there's a, there's a, I feel like a real welcoming spirit where even if I'm rooting against Germany and I'm America, I'm still rooting for Germany in the sense that I'm happy that everybody's there and we're competing and it makes us feel all globally connected, right?

But We're a couple hundred years into this iteration of the Olympics and things have gotten a little rote, a little boring.

I think we need to spice it up a little bit.

I think we need to innovate.

And I think as a global society, we need to innovate.

We've taken our foot off the gas pedal.

We've ceded space to these billionaire dickheads like Elon Musk and

Jeff Bezos and Branson.

And that's where we're letting these guys choose our space future.

We shouldn't be doing that.

Here's what we do.

All right.

We make a third Olympics, moon Olympics.

Low gravity.

The fucking, the records are going to be getting broken left and right.

The only catch is to participate in the Moon Olympics, you got to get to the moon.

It's going to usher in a global space race so that everybody from the smallest country to the largest now has a space program.

We're all working towards something.

As a society, we're working towards space.

And then when we get to the moon, we see who can jump the farthest.

I like the first event in each Moon Olympics is the literal space race.

Yeah, exactly.

Yeah.

100%.

Awesome.

That's cool.

How do,

so how do we get how

do we get there?

If I'm just, say, I'm just like a guy and I want to watch the moon Olympics.

It's going to be on Peacock.

Oh, so

I want to go and root on USA.

Is there like a way to do that?

Oh, yeah.

There's going to be a glow.

The International Olympic Committee, the IOC, will create

a global

moon-based village, you know, kind of like the Olympic village where all the athletes stay, because they're going to have to have that anyway.

But they'll include hotels and amenities, and it'll be large enough so that representatives from each country can go route their respective country on.

Realistically, it'd probably be pretty expensive, like going to the Super Bowl.

And, you know, only the haves will get to do it.

Very few have-nots, but that's just the way these things work.

Would the logo be five overlapping moons?

Oh, yes, it would, Karen.

Yes, it would.

Yes, Yes, it would.

That's

the idea

of the space race being the first event.

I think having a race to the first, like an Olympic event where the Olympics start with whoever gets their first wins of gold is so fun.

Every country's rocket takes off at the exact same second and the first person, the first three to dock or win the space race.

Uh-huh.

That's great, Eric.

Pole vault, I think, would be good as well.

It's like an interesting moon sport.

Yeah.

Oh, wow.

I think like the dashes, like the running would be like so much slower.

Yeah, like you, they could try, but I think it would be like really tough.

But a bunch of dust.

Yeah.

But, dude,

just saying, like, every other sport would be insane.

I want to watch somebody hit a baseball around the whole moon.

Think about soccer.

Basketball.

Baseball.

Fucking skateboarding.

Can you imagine the vert people are going to get on the half pipe pipe on the moon?

900.

Show me a 9,000.

Exactly.

Exactly.

I guess the swimmers should probably stay home.

They'll figure out ways to innovate.

You know?

You adapt and overcome.

That's what we do

as humans.

I want to see a bunch of astronauts breakdance.

Maybe Australia will get its redemption on the moon.

Oh,

but nobody recognizes it because it happened on the moon.

Exactly.

Oh, yeah.

I'm trying to think of stuff that'll be faster faster because there's no air resistance.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So like

shoot bows and arrows and stuff would be insane.

Yeah.

Surely a javelin would would go far.

Yeah.

And there's a dark side of the moon, right?

So there's snow probably.

So you could have winter Olympics on the winter moon Olympics and the summer moon Olympics.

Why would that be snow?

Well, you could put it in because it's so cold there.

Okay.

You can import snow.

I got news for you.

There's not snow where we're having the winter Olympics now in the world.

We're having to import it.

And we're, we're severe.

I don't know if you've noticed, but the list of available places to have a Winter Olympics on Earth is shrinking every four years.

Yeah, but just the dark side of the moon isn't literally dark.

It's just we can't see it.

And it would be like hundreds of degrees hot most of the time.

Oh, well, wherever it's coldest on the moon is where we're going to put our

moon.

Well, it's wherever it's nighttime on the moon.

Honoring Olympic rules, if you get caught with steroids, you have to compete on the dark side of the moon.

There you go.

Exclusively can compete there.

Who needs steroids when you've got moon gravity, you know?

Oh, that's a good point.

You got caught with steroids.

You're banished to the dark side of the moon.

It's crazy.

These aren't even for the...

This is for back on Earth.

I don't need these for the moon Olympics.

It's just the same.

The exact same Olympics, but just untelevised.

Show A Otani is going to hit a baseball so fucking hard that it breaks up in the moon's atmosphere.

Yeah.

Yep.

The moon's atmosphere.

Like it's gonna go, it's gonna, it's gonna leave the moon's atmosphere and it's gonna catch on fire and go

and fizzle out.

It'd be like the end of the natural.

Will there be like an Olympic torch ceremony?

Yeah.

Oh, wow.

Okay.

How do you get the flame?

You put it in a bubble.

Yeah.

Oxygen bubbles.

Yeah.

Have like a pipe.

A system of pipes.

I don't know.

I'm not.

NASA's.

We got, dude, we got little robots driving around Mars right now that have been there for like 20 years i'm not worried about us figuring out how to have an olympic torch on the moon that's the least of my problems

in the world in which we're accepting the olympics are occurring on the moon the torch functionality really does not seem like that hard of a thing to figure out yeah

of all of the issues to solve i don't think that's number one but i like moon olympics jeff yeah thank you very much I was gonna say, also, we've all played Moonbase Alpha, right?

I assume it would work some way like that.

Interesting.

I don't know if I have played moon base alpha maybe the first moon olympics is just we send robots ahead of the humans and it's done remotely first and then those robots can work on like constructing all the stuff that humans will need

it's like robot wars or whatever that show is called starts as like robot wars

and stuff interesting very interesting I'm so excited to see the poll.

So how this works, Jeff, is we have a poll that comes out the day after this airs in which the community decide who has the worst takes.

This is going to be a tough one for them to judge, I think.

I think everybody had fantastic takes.

Yeah, these are pretty good.

Especially for

the new takester.

For the new takester, yeah, making his debut in episode two.

Like all great comic villains, he doesn't show up in issue one.

That's right.

He comes up later.

Yeah, maybe Nick was the taker and Jeff replaced him as the takester.

Oh, whoa.

Thank you so much for listening to episode two of Regulation Takes.

Make sure to check out our Patreon, patreon.com/slash the regulation pod or regulatreon.com if you'd prefer.

We had great takes.

If you think one of us deserves an idiot flag, we have those in the store.

Buy it and then just think about us.

Hold it in your hand and think, this person's an idiot.

Buy it.

Channel it.

Buy it and then think about us.

This is the physical representation of my dislike for Gavin's take.

I like the idea of us having a website and all of our heads are at the top and we just pin an idiot flag on whoever's lost this show

recently.

That's the funny idea.

It's pretty good.

Until then, though, have a great rest of your day.

Thank you so much for listening.

Bye.

Bye now.
