Hello, and welcome to another episode of the Regulation Podcast. My name is Jeff Ramsey.
With me, as always, Andrew Panton, Eric Badour, Nick Schwartz, Gavin Free. This is

episode 82. Hello.
Hello. Hello.
How's everybody doing?

I'm great. How are you, Jeff? I'm good.
I was trying to come up with a little enthusiasm to kind of lift this up. I could tell.
I felt like the mood in the

pleasantries was a little, not bad, just a little low energy. And so

I'm trying to raise it up right now. And also, Andrew, you said you had a, this is going to be an Andrew episode.
You had a ton you wanted to get to. I sure do.
What's the most

ridiculous piece of knowledge that you have that is useless? Do you have anything that comes to mind that is just completely pointless that you know that probably nobody else does?

Because I had a unique experience. Over the weekend of SNL brought Magruber back for a sketch.

And at the end of the sketch, the building they're in explodes. And I looked at that and I went, that is the same explosion that killed Xander Cage in the first Triple X movie as a bonus feature.

And I saw other people point out that that is also, I guess, the exterior building they use for shots of Patty's Pub, which is cool.

Now in my mind, like lore-wise, Xander Cage lives above Patty's pub, which is awesome.

But I think I'm probably the only person person on the planet that looked at that and went, oh, yeah, that was a bonus feature on the triple X D V D post.

Sane in the state, not Sane, Jesus, State of the Union coming out. It was very weird.

I was thinking about it in general, like it was kind of a weird time where they tried to resell the triple X D V D by putting a big sticker on it that this one contains the death of Xander Cage.

Because I guess they wanted to explain why Ice Cube was in the sequel.

So they just blew up a building?

It's so much worse than that. It is like four minutes long and they have Vin Diesel standing.

Like it's so clearly not Vin Diesel and it's him and this woman in a convertible and they drive somewhere and then Xander Cage gets suspicious.

He sees some like reflections and he's like, oh, I got to go investigate that. So he goes and he checks and it turns out to just be a homeless guy.
And then bad guys show up.

and make it look like they dragged the lady into his apartment.

And he looks at the coat and they pull the line uh the things i'm gonna do for my country from the movie and just place it over there you never see the front of uh vin diesel's face it's all back shots and then he runs upstairs and the building explodes and then you see the chunk of the back of his face or the head uh with the triple x tattoo hit the pavement it's four minutes long holy god it's so stupid it's a bonus feature uh It's horrendous in every way, but I recognized the explosion immediately and I felt ashamed of myself.

So I was curious if you guys have ever had a specific

piece of

completely useless knowledge. I definitely have something.
I'd love to know what Vin Diesel thinks about that scene, though. Oh, he probably hates it.

He seems like a guy with a big ego, probably wasn't a fan. It felt kind of personal in a weird way.
It sounds personal, which got me wondering why didn't he reprise his role?

It was a contract dispute? Did he just not want to do it? Were they looking to save money?

Isn't it so weird that he did that twice with fast and furious and triple like both of them the sequel he did not come back for and then eventually did come back he has to sulk a couple out first and then he'll come back yeah it's true what if we release he did the same thing with iron giant as well i think that's why there's no sequel i meant that

he's still doing it he's still doing it what what if we re-released episode 16 with four minutes of bonus content

can it be the death of xander Cage? Yeah, what would the four minutes be, I guess?

Eric gets killed.

Ooh. I'm fine.
Yeah, I mean, that's fine. Let's just get it over with.
Absolutely. Oh, wow.

Before we kill Eric, does anybody else have any specific knowledge that you think you're unique in having?

Yeah, before I die, please know that the useless fact that I know is that three dogs survived the Titanic.

Whoa, really?

Yeah, only three. Three dogs.
That's amazing. Yep.
I think it would be so funny for Eric to be in a

scenario where he's like tied to a chair. There's like three dudes pacing around him.
And he's just like, guys, hurry this up. Come on.

Like, can we get this over?

Let's just kill me.

It's either we're doing this or let me go because I got places to be. There's things going on.
So either

get on the other side of this. But before, before they just put a gun right to my head, and then right before they pull the trigger, I say, wait, wait, wait.
Three dogs survived the Titanic.

Those are my last two years.

I can build a

early 90s Milwaukee bandsaw from parts with my eyes closed, probably still.

Whoa, what? Whoa.

I don't imagine there's a lot of people that have the knowledge of that specific like 91 to 93 Milwaukee bandsaw like I do, but I used to make them all the time at the tool repair shop out of spare parts.

Probably not a lot of that knowledge left. And I imagine

it's changed tremendously since then. I know that

if you move a paintball gun like an inch closer, the paintball will hit the target like 100 microseconds sooner.

So

that is 10 inches of knowledge. I mean, it's useful for you.
We are probably more. There's so many people that play bar trivia, they're going to kill it next time now.
They're set.

Also, it's very specific to my paintball gun and the amount of gas that was in it that day.

Can I ask you a question, Gav? Yeah.

What's a microsecond? It's a unit of time. There's

a thousand microseconds in a millisecond.

Wow.

Wow. A thousand microseconds.

How many microseconds are in a second?

Million?

Is that all right?

That's what I was asking you. That's right.
It's a a millionth of a second. Yep.

So a microsecond is a millionth of a second. Yeah.
And then you go down to nano and pico. Never bomb.
Yeah, I'd heard of nano and milla, but never micro. Or pico for that matter.

Yeah, micro is written like that weird, that funny looking you with the tail on it. I'll take your word for it.
Yeah.

My useless knowledge. Did you learn this from

which video was that you learned this on? Was this where they were trying to like collide the paintballs?

Yeah, we're trying to collide three in the same space and it took us like three months to do it.

So when did Slow-Mo guys start and what was the incentive?

The year was 2010.

Yeah, that one, the second one.

That's awesome. That's so cool.
Very cool. Microseconds.

Hey,

I did something about a week ago now.

And we need to do it. I sat down and I watched Bingo the movie,

a movie that's bounced around. I talked about it in our periphery.
I talked about it.

I told the story on the break show that

I was playing video games with Andrew and I told him I watched it. And he was like, okay.
And I was like, you know, the thing. And he's like, yeah, whatever.
And I was like, no, the, but the moot, we,

you and I. And he was like, oh, I thought, I thought you were saying you watched somebody play bingo.
And I'm like, why the fuck would I watch somebody play bingo? I touched them.

Well, true, but I don't think I would come in.

I would come in and I'd go, I'd I wouldn't come in and go, hey, guess what I just did? I just watched Bingo. I would come in and go, hey, I just played bingo with my wife and her friends.
You know,

that's fair. Here's okay.
Well, there are two things. One, I've decidedly not been watching Bingo because I thought we're waiting for like a group watch.
Yeah, I thought it was a group watch.

So nobody has ever brought it up or made it a, it hasn't been discussed in years. I took the, took matters into my own hands and watched it without you.
All right. That's totally fine.

That's just why my brain went bingo i don't think it would be the movie jeff loves bingo probably is watching some bingo

and it would be something you'd come in with a little bit of like oh i just i'm having a good day i saw some bow while i was doing some sloppy jones have they ever televised bingo yes

you can just watch people play bingo

I don't know about people, but definitely games, just like the drawing of the ball part.

I know that they,

they people on tick tock just show rippers like ladies or dudes just doing rippers over and over again on tick tock which is insane your wife's really into rippers gavin uh

but anyway bingo the movie we should absolutely do a watch-along for it is and it is the most unhinged family-friendly movie i think i've ever seen in my entire life i genuinely amazed at the violence in this film for a family-friendly dog movie.

What? I want to watch that.

There's some good, bad dog movies out there. There's one, I don't remember the name of it right now, but I believe it's essentially the plot of Home Alone.
And one of the burglars is Joey Diaz.

And it the comedian? Yes, the comedian. I think he's in like the Joe Pesci role.

And I don't remember what it's called. It's something that I don't think ever even got released on like DVD or VHS.
Like it was a Home of Bone.

What? Home Alone?

I don't know. That's not what he said.

Home and Bone. Yeah.
Yeah, that's pretty good. Is this a dog movie? I like that.
Bone Alone.

Some good. Bone Alone.
That's a different movie.

We also need to watch Virtual Weapon at some point. Yes, we do.
Oh, yeah. Yeah,

I keep hearing about it. The Dog Who Saved Christmas.
That sounds right.

It has

Dean Kane.

Oh, Joey Dean.

Yeah, sorry.

Not a big Dean Kane fan these days.

You were a huge Dean Kane fan before. Boy, is he a good guy or is he a bad guy? Is the dog going to attack Dean Kane or is it like Dean Kane?

Is the dog here legally?

Dean Kane would make sure.

Dean Kane appears to be a bad guy. I would be.
Okay, well, I'm back in. I'm back on board.

All right, as long as he gets his just desserts. Yeah.

Dean Kane somehow tricked somebody into being the co-lead in a Denzel Washington movie, and even Denzel couldn't carry him. It's bad.
It's one of the worst Denzel movies because of Dean Kane.

It's called Out of Time.

Should we do like a Falcon event or something where we do a doggo double feature and we watch the Doggy Saves Christmas in Bingo?

Listen, that sounds great to me. I don't know where we'd find a Dog Saves Christmas, but that sounds great.
Let's look for it. Yeah, we'll find We'll find it.

I had an insane coincidence that was like just absurd in it occurring, but also was like the least impactful thing that could happen. That makes sense.

It's a weird balance of, wow, that's crazy that all of this lined up the way it did, but

also like doesn't really change the world or make an impact in any way. Months ago, I bought a special collection.

Joan Soda did a branded release that I thought was cool where they did a Crayola bundle where the box of soda looks like a giant crayon box. Oh, that's cute.

And all the sodas are like different colors of the crayons. And I thought, that's cool.
I pre-ordered that in like August. It finally arrived after months.

And it was just kind of in my office for a while. Then I eventually decided randomly, one evening recently, to crack it open.

But before that, I started watching a Denzel movie because I've been watching, as established on this show, going through watching all his movies.

And the one I was watching that evening was The Little Thing starring Jared Leto and Rami Malik. Not good.
It's a bad one.

But I was like halfway through and then I decided I'll have dinner. I thought, oh, if I'm having dinner, I'll crack open a soda.
So I grabbed just a random, there's like 12 of them in the box.

I just pulled one out, enjoyed it, delicious. Then I noticed there was text on the bottom of the bottle cap, and I looked at it and the little word on it said, enjoy the little things,

which coincidentally was the same movie that I was going back to you to watch.

Is that movie about cops? Yes, it is a cop. And then Jared Leto maybe is a criminal or something? Yes.

And it's basically cops. It's basically like cops protecting cops, even when they break the law because it was the right thing to do or something.

Yeah, I remember that. I did see that movie.
It's like professional courtesy of the movie.

What are the chances that those two things would align? And the fact that you had them sat in your office for all that time. That's absolutely insane.
What do you take away from the experience?

Do you think it was trying to impart something upon you?

Let's just start with this. Did you enjoy the little things? No.
Oh, bummer.

Yeah, I think I saw it on Plane. Yeah, that's a perfect place to watch it.

It is a movie where they set up like this, that there's this crazy serial killer who's been doing killings for like forever, and they decide to end the movie without ever laying out who the killer is, even though that's a large point.

Because they're trying to overall convey a deeper message that you need to let things go sometimes.

Like a killer.

Like a killer that they can't catch. Or like cops facing accountability for their actions.
Oh, or cops facing accountability for their actions. I think that's what I remember from the film.
Yeah.

That is, yeah, largely what it's about. Forget it, Jeff.
It's the little things. It's the little things.
It's little things town.

It's not just like the timing of that. I had started that movie because it was on Netflix and then decided I'm not feeling this tonight.

So I like, I could have watched it almost a year ago and I just didn't. Just the fact that.
All of those things lined up for that moment.

Insane.

I'm currently suffering through a soda-based issue right now. You mentioned the Jones sodas.

Yeah, my wife is not adventurous when it comes to sodas.

She's a creature of comfort, but we were at Costco the other day and I saw that Poppy, which I like very much, had a cranberry fizz. And I thought that sounded awesome.

But because it's Costco, it only comes in like a 15-pack. So I threw caution to the wind.
She was like, I wouldn't, I'm not going to drink that. Yeah, I hope you want it.

And I was like, of course I want it. I love cranberry.
I love fizz. I love poppy.
So I bought it.

It is a it's so bad and i have like 13 left to drink and i yeah i gotta get this what wait what soda is this it's a poppy cranberry fizz bring it it's you're not gonna like it but i'll bring it to the office yeah i mean yeah but yeah but at least you can help we can help you get rid of it yeah it's yeah put it in the fridge nickel drink it i will i will i don't like poppy

oh yeah the can oh i love poppy i love poppy too don't don't get i that's why i bought it poppy's the best don't get me wrong and there's a great guys screaming at each other about how much they like Poppy.

But it's just

Nick, do you think you could do all 13 cans back to back? Oh, God, no. Not Poppy.
That'll make you shit your brains out. Yeah.
Yeah. That'd be like drinking six doses of Mirillax.
Yeah.

Because of all the biotics.

Yeah. So pre-I think, right?

Pre-botties.

Just normal. I don't know.
Could you get post-biotics?

Post-biotics? Post-biotics. You'll get

or amateur biotic

we need

amateur biotics

we need amateur biotics we need post-biotics

we're gonna design the first amateur biotic post-biotic soda what if we become the first like biotics focused podcast like we're very into different kinds of biotics like i found an image just sort of running down prebiotics, probiotics, synbiotics, interesting, and post-biotics.

Unfortunately, I don't see amateur biotics, so that could be something we create.

Yeah, yeah, we could draw a goofy little picture of COVID or whatever that is and call it antibiotics. Or no, would that exist? Antibiotics.
What was the one we were trying to do? Post-biotics?

Amateur biotics?

Gosh, we got to invent something. It's antibiotics.
That's a real one already. God damn it.

Maybe once we're past past that, we can start working on reverse biotics. I don't really know what that would be, but it sounds like we should try and get back around to the beginning.
Do you think

we should get into reverse osmosis biotics?

No, definitely.

Or we're taking the biotics out of poppy to just make it into water or regular soda, I guess. Oh, I'd be into that.
It'll be water in a pile of cranberries.

If you could remove the biotics from poppy soda, that's my product. I'm in.

Get me in there. Your product is just regular soda.
Yeah, I'd be so much more excited if it was just normal soda.

I've been striking out on trying new things lately. I went to the grocery store the other day and they had watermelons, which

I'm a big watermelon guy. I don't know if you know this about me.
Love it.

But they had that yellow watermelon that I keep seeing all over the internet. And I thought, fuck it, I'll try a yellow watermelon, right?

Really mediocre.

I don't understand what the yellow water badmelon is. It's just like a watermelon, but instead of pink, a pink rind, it's a yellow rind.

and it's yeah it's just it looks exactly like that is it a different stage of ripe or is it a different melon it's a different melon it's like a different like strain of melon but it's uh it's got a real bland boring flavor maybe it was a bad thing it got crossbred with a cucumber or something like a squash it could have been a bad melon i'll try one more but it was uh it was real disappointing

get it man bring it to the office with the poppy soda and then we can do that we have to go to the store tomorrow to get all of our supplies for the uh for Advent thing. Oh, yeah, that's right.

Which we don't have anything for. Yeah, none of that came in the mail yet, Andrew.
I hope that's not. Really? Yeah.
Let's see. I'll check on that after we finish recording.

That is that melon thing looks like pineapple.

It does. And if you can press like a small piece, then Gavin could tell you exactly if it is watermelon or pineapple.

You would be so hard-pressed to say what this was with your eyes closed. I get it.
He couldn't even get strawberry. So, I mean.
That's true.

For those who haven't... or on that was a Falcon thing or a extra medium thing, was it on Patreon? Uh, yeah, it was uh, it was extra medium.

Okay, well, okay, so on extra medium, we did a video where I was guessing fruit with my eyes shirt, and uh, I'm not that good at some of it, but come on, don't sell yourself short, you did very well, you did great.

It took you a long time, but you were very accurate. I had to cut a lot of me just standing in silence and Jeff just pacing around.

Also, I guess for some some reason,

Nick must have been standing under an AC vent or something because it's just constant wind throughout that video. Oh, there is one right there.
Holy shit.

I can see it from here.

I had to edit out so much of like,

it was that and Jeff just not being able to stand still and constantly cleaning up and just making a racket all over the kitchen. Yeah, that's me.

But I made a discovery while I was editing this video. And here's a little screenshot from it.
Do you see anything weird in the apple?

Weird in the apple. The apple? The apple emoji I put in the bottom, right?

There's kind of like a haloing around like the top left of it, I guess. So I put it on black and I made it big.
And there's something going on with the apple emoji. Wait, it's a tomato.

Is that a tomato?

It's like there's a tomato stuck behind it or something. Like they've messed it up and it's on every like it's on the phone.

Did you just crack something? Did you just crack something wide open that nobody knew about?

I think I've made a discovery that I didn't see anyone on Google talking about. You cracked the case.

I cracked the Apple case. Someone needs to fix the Apple emoji because there's a ghost tomato stuck behind it or a ghost Apple or something.
We really are an Apple podcast. We really are.

We tried to be a biotics podcast, but we are truly an Apple podcast. Okay, Nick has posted a picture of the vet.

Stood

Well, I have a thumbnail for the episode now. That's great.

Jesus Apple. Yeah, with the tomato.
That's crazy.

I have a question for you guys,

if you don't mind.

Does anybody else have any specific knowledge? None that I could call out.

And that's why I feel the same way with specific knowledge: it's so dependent on situations where you go, oh, unfortunately, I know something more about this.

Yeah.

Well, let me ask you guys a different question then.

I was on a bike ride this morning and I got to thinking about,

well, actually, I was listening to a different podcast and they were talking about when they were kids and how exciting it was to go to wrestling events.

And that was never something I wanted to do, but that got me thinking about like, what was the thing that when I was a kid, I bugged my parents about?

And I was like, please buy tickets to this, please take me to this event. And the only thing I could come up with, well, I had two.

I had a Hall of Notes concert that they took me to for my, I think, 12th birthday, which I begged for like six months to get tickets to that. And they took me, and that was cool.

But the only other thing I could think of is when I was a kid, I used to really want to go to a water park. I lived in Florida for a long time, and my mom never took me to a water park.

And at one point, I wanted to go so badly, I wrote a novel about my mom taking me to a water park, and then I gave it to her. As in, like, look at the effort I've put in.

You should definitely take me to a wet and wild now. And she didn't.
And so I never, I don't know that I've, I guess as an adult, I've been to Phlugerville or to the Schlitterbon rather.

But and then I was thinking like Millie, I remember taking her to see Panic at the Disco and her begging to see Panic at the Disco in middle school and her begging to see two dudes named Dan and Phil, who I still don't quite know who they were, but there were a lot of you there.

I think, yeah, there's some kind of YouTube sketch comedy thing. Yeah, I remember.

It was fine. It was,

she had the time of her life but what was it for you guys when you were kids was there something you just annoyed your parents about i wrote an essay about why i needed a psp

and you know what i was wrong about that

you didn't appreciate the psp when you got it no

like i i tried i i really tried hard but uh no that was not a great great system I had a PSP. That thing sucked.

Oh, I thought that was, I never had one. I thought there was always love for the PSP.

There is a lot of love. I think people

love the Vita, I think, more so than the first one. Oh.

I could be wrong about that, but yeah. It was essentially a portable movie player for me.
I didn't play a lot of games on it. But I did write, I did like

picture art for it and like did a whole pitch kind of similar to you with the water park of why this is a great device and why I need it and how great it would be to have.

So you enjoyed it more in your piece of fiction than you did when you actually got it? I definitely enjoyed the advertising campaign as to why it was cool significantly more than the device itself.

I love the idea of trying to advertise sneakily to your parents, like putting up leaflets around the house, just like trying to get in the subconscious.

Yeah, well, I was, you know, I did a whole pitch and it eventually worked. But,

yeah, I don't know. Like, I, it was a platform that I used to watch the movie Stealth and Triple X.
That was about it.

All roads come back to Triple X. Yep, they sure do.
On this podcast, they do. Yeah.
Like, was there

a football game you always wanted to go to, Gav?

Or I don't know.

Were you into anything as a kid like that? I know you had your dad bring you to America to see Red vs. Blue live, but you were a little bit older.
You were like 18 at that point.

Yeah, I got to see, I was 17. I got to see episode one of season four early ahead of the internet.
It was wicked. I'm trying to think of, I think a water park was on my list.

There was a place called Aquasplash that had that

ride. It's not really a ride.
A slide where you go down into the bowl and you spin around a few times. And I went there and I freaking whacked my head on the bowl as I went in.
Never went on it again.

Went in, learned my lesson. Yeah.

Came out. And I think I banged my knee on the, on like the rim of the bowl as I fell into the water at the bottom, too.
I think I just got beat up. I wasn't ready to like clench up.

I think I was too loose in the bowl.

Too loose in the bowl.

i have that problem every fucking noise

oh christ did you like did you get to see wrestling events when you were a kid eric uh some but they were more just kind of like uh like the bigger wwf stuff and everything when yeah when i was younger i remember like really wanting to see spider-man one when it came out but i was like yeah right around like high school or whatever so it was like well somebody has to take me because that's like a whole thing but then i wanted to go with my friends so that was a whole thing i uh

no like there wasn't a lot of stuff that i was like dying to go do i remember really wanting like

a nintendo 64 like that was a whole thing but that like yeah that was just like so much want and want and want uh eventually getting it i think probably for christmas but man that like never really going anywhere i feel like we always went places like i went to a lot of baseball games when i was a kid uh my dad had tickets through his work that nobody used because the padres were so bad for so long.

So we would just go to a lot of baseball games. So we never really wanted for like, oh, we got to go to this thing.

Yeah. Yeah.
For me, it was always like a video game thing that I wanted. That's really it.
Anything for you, Nick?

You know,

I remember my dad

was a big adopter for Net Zero, which was a not pay dial-up service. And I just remember being like, I just, can we please get even AOL? I don't care.

I just, because I used to play StarCraft and like Diablo 2.

And so the little bar that was across the screen, whenever you clicked on it, it would take you out of the game and like open up an ad for you.

So I was always just getting my ass kicked in all these games. I was just like, please, please, please get internet.
And then on a random trip.

uh that my mom took us on we came back and he had surprised us with not only high-speed internet blown away by that he also got cable which we did not have and and never had when I was growing up until I was, I think, 12.

So he finally was like, here you go, you get all this stuff. But I just remember begging for that over and over again.

I remember getting a cable box for the first time as a kid and how exciting that was. That wasn't a thing I was begging for because I didn't know it was a thing I was missing in life.
But having

just so many more channels and like the little pop-ups on the screen and it was crazy. What are the pop-ups? Just like a thing that would indicate what channel you were on and what the program was.

Oh, like the guide and all that. Yeah, like the guide and like having a UI and all that.
It was like, well, this is, we're in the future. This is fancy.

I will say, I think we all pretty much always had cable growing up, but I was always jealous of kids with satellite because we would have like 40 channels on cable and they would have like a thousand on satellite.

They were not real channels and it was always bullshit, but it sounded so cool. And the satellite they said with like NASA was in your backyard.

Yeah, I feel like England went more down the satellite route than the cable route.

Everyone had a dish. Did you see the post that someone, I don't know if it was on Reddit or Patreon or somewhere, but we apparently completely messed up the worst days draft.
And what?

What does that mean? Two different draft ideas, I think. Was it? Okay.
I think the draft, we had discussed an idea for a worst days draft initially.

Previously, far before we did the best days, worst days draft. But that idea, I think, was picking who was having the worst day in like a movie or something.

Yeah, like characters who are just characters are just going through.

Yeah. Oh, that's like that's a funny Michael Douglas and falling down.
Yeah, yeah,

yeah. That's a, oh, yeah, I didn't even, dude, I don't remember having that discussion at all.
That's a great idea.

That's if that's an if that's an us idea, we should do that. That's fantastic.
I think that's a Jeff idea, but then

you pitched that and then I think you just read it and then decided to do best days and worst days. Probably.
I'm going to write down.

The best days, worst days was driven purely by thinking it was funny to do them back-to-back. Yeah,

that's what I thought. I'm going to write fictional worst days draft.

I like that. Like, who had the worst days?

It's probably one of those things where, like, in the moment, the new idea sounded like a funnier direction in my head, or we got two videos at it instead of one.

So you just pivot and modify it, you know? Gotta be

fluid like water with your idea. Sort of multiverse idea of there being an alternate timeline where everything that could happen does happen.
I was thinking about fictional characters.

Does that mean there's a universe where John McClain is real? The plot of diehard just happens. What do you mean?

If there is

a different timeline in which every scenario that could theoretically happen does happen, does John McClain exist? as we know him in some timeline. But why go to John McClain?

You might as well say if everything, if every possible timeline has happened, did you get hit in the forehead by a horse cock when you were younger? Like, what's that?

That's less interesting to me than John McClain.

Not to be it, is it? Well, that's you. Why are you bringing horse cocks into this?

Like get him like juiced in this conversation. So he started thinking about horse cocks.
Well, I just don't know why.

If you open up the pool to infinity, why go diehard? Yeah, you could have gone Thanos.

Well, one, because he's fictional, and two, because I feel like just the idea of a real-life John McClain having to go through all the things that he goes through is funny to me. So,

skyscraper terrorism, airports. He rides a jet.
He goes to Russia. He does a lot of things.

He does. I think he jumps a motorcycle onto a jet, right? New York terrorism.
Doesn't he smack a police car into a helicopter or something as well?

He launches one. Yeah.
He launches it. Oh, so you're saying

there's a universe where not it's, I just, I guess I thought just the first diehard happened, but you're saying all of the diehards occurred in one universe.

It's like a real guy that just but then I guess in the scenario in which John McClain is real, there's scenarios where he doesn't do any of that, which is also funny to me.

There's there's fucking some there's a scenario. There's a universe where he says yippee kaye motherfucker and then stubs his toe and falters in his shoe.

Yeah, I wonder who is closest to a John McClain.

It must be like a Navy SEAL or something who just did crazy missions back to back i'm trying to think of another line of work where you could end up in all those situations do you think in one of the john mcclane universes there's a movie that they all watch about a guy named andrew panton who does john mclane's type stuff

oh that would have to exist too right like they have to watch movies in john mcclane's universe they have to be entertained that's a good point I like that Gavin was trying to find a job where it would make sense, a different job, as if John McClain's job made sense as to why he was doing all those things.

What wasn't he? A cop? Yeah, he's a cop. Like, none of the scenarios he was in aligned with.

Yeah, but if he was a roofer, I assume he wouldn't have gotten involved.

What was the job involving horse cocks that Gavin was trying to come up with? Yeah.

What are you talking about? What job? Bet.

Jockey.

Well, yeah, that could be a bet.

You know, there's just a universe where it's exactly the same as what it is here, but just one of them,

a horse cock, just knocks out a jockey. Like,

maybe it's this universe. Maybe it's happened here.
Who knows?

I think if one of us was knocked out by a horse cock, we wouldn't be in the situation we're in now. I think that would have steered the life off in a completely different path.
Really?

Yeah, you think if Eric took a horsecock to the face, aged 11, he would be... He changes his life in the way that you're discussing.

He'd probably, yeah, he'd probably still be in intensive therapy at a home somewhere. Or he might be dead.

That's true. We'll have some big fucking print on his head.
Or he might be really in the horse cocks.

Yeah, I'll do it in rich style.

Yeah.

From the settlement. I had a follow-up to the mundane coincidences in the movie thing.

It got weird.

The next night after I watched The Little Things. I was just looking at stuff on Netflix to watch and I got recommended a

zombie movie, like a foreign zombie movie called The Elixir, which is all about like herbal company, like a herbal drink company,

putting out a new, like

essentially live longer type beverage, but it turns everybody into zombies and things go wrong.

I watched about half of it, then went to bed. woke up the next day, got the mail,

and waiting for me was a package from a company that I'm assuming potentially wants to be a sponsor of the podcast

that is a herbal remedy for like just general things, like general alertness and improvement type thing. And I could not believe it.
Right following up, I was like, I need to stop watching movies.

This is

yeah, how are you getting this coincidental stuff with it? You got to start watching movies. It was within 48 hours.

Yeah, watch movies watch people win the list.

It was, it's called the elixir, and then the name of the

plot of iZombie, the TV show, maybe. And the video game Sunset Overdrive, I think.

No idea about that. Sunset Overdrive was like, yeah, drinking a drink and everyone turned into like monsters or whatever.
Whoa, that's cool. Yeah.
Weird.

Yeah, watch movies where people find gold and stuff. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah.
Watch movies where people find gold. Watch City Slickers, The Legend of Curly's Gold.

You know what people say, like, oh, this person's worth their weight in gold? Mm-hmm. I would have to, I've just put it in Google, I would have to be worth 13,400,000.

And it made me wonder, what am I worth my weight in? Like, am I worth my weight in

coal? Or like something shitty?

Copper? I'm trying to think.

What would be worth your weight in? Like, in terms of what I potentially generate for a company. It'd be interesting to see what elements we're worth.

What elements were worth? Yeah, sure, shit, not gold for me.

Salt?

What if instead of like

that's how raises work? They change your element as opposed to like 2% more of that element. Like, oh, I've upgraded.
Like, it's a fucking multiplayer rank. I'm diamond this year.

That'd be so cool, though, to have a like a video game-esque rank for you to

mark your performance at work.

Kind of dystopian, actually it is that was a that was a draft idea i i had by the way was um

dystopian business practices draft because i was i was just inventing them in my head uh i came up with

imagine if uh door dash and uber eats started having like exclusive menu items for different restaurants and how dog shit that would be And I think that's absolutely something that could happen in our 2025 reality.

What are you talking about? Oh, do they? Yeah, there's stuff you can get that's exclusively on DoorDash or Uber Eats.

For real? Well, yeah, for chain restaurants.

Okay. Well, yeah, I'm really good at this then.

Not only that, they do, like, recently, Wendy's had, like, a barbecue burger, and the only way to get it initially was through Uber Eats. It was like an early exclusive.

Taco Bell does some like app-only stuff too, where like you can only get a chili cheese breeder through the app or whatever. Not right right now

yeah yeah

not online exclusives yep yeah i think i'd only heard of like entire restaurants being exclusive to a delivery service but not like a single menu item not

yeah that was just extra level shitty but yeah i guess that is where we are

if you if you can dream of it being shitty it's probably already a shitty reality

that would be an interest i'm thinking about worth the the weight of

and Obviously that doesn't mean as literal as you're interpreting it, but it would be interesting to find

like to look at What a person like whoever's listening your yearly salary and then applying that to like how many burgers you could get Yeah worth your weight in burgers. How many

burgers is that? Or I guess hot dogs or like whatever you want. It is a fun

I do like the idea of a burger being a unit of measurement. Yeah, a unit of value.
It does become complicated because there's a range of burger values. You got the value menu.
You got a double burger.

You got a bacon cheese. I think you just pick a burger and it becomes the regulation default burger that you choose by.
Baseburger. Like a McDonald's cheeseburger or something, you know.

I've looked up copper.

160 pounds. I've just rounded my weight to 160 pounds.
160 pounds of copper is worth $803.

How much are you worth in palladium?

Ooh, palladium? 160 pounds. How do you spell palladium? I think I've only dealt with that.
P-A-L-L-A-D-I-U-M, I think. 160 pounds of copper is only 800 bucks.

Why is everyone ripping it out of walls and shit? Yeah, no kidding. What the fuck?

I thought it would be way more than that. Buys a lot of cigarettes and beer, I guess.
I guess so. Damn.

It's probably pretty heavy if you just get like a big bundle of wire. There's probably a lot of copper in it.

Dude, my uncle, he used to work as an electrician and he would take all scrap copper and stuff from the week and throw it in his truck and come over to my grandparents' house on the weekend and just drink beer and listen to country music and just strip fucking copper wire in the backyard all night long.

Really? Wow. Yeah,

a lot of my child.

Whoa.

And then he'd go make you know an extra 80 bucks or whatever.

My people hustled.

We made money where we could. Palladium is $1,400 for what, though? Is that a pound? Is that grand?

It's $1,400.

Palladium is harder to figure out for me. I think one Palladium, please.
Here's $1,400.

Just give me one Palladium.

What's a Troy ounce?

What's a Troy pound?

We only found out that microseconds exist, so I don't know, man.

What's a troy second?

That ends every clicker game experience for me where you're generating money in these games. And then it gets to a level of value that I don't understand.
And I just, I stop every time.

That's the end of the game for me. The number gets too big and you go, eh, unrealistic.
I don't recognize these symbols. And it's like, I can't even imagine this.
So it's not even fun.

What's an example?

I feel like I've seen like a QC before.

Quality control? Yeah.

But dollar-wise, like you go to millions and billions and hundreds of billions. And then

once you get past that, it like

becomes hard for me to imagine. And that's sort of the fun of being like, ooh, every time this guy does this thing and every 10 seconds, it's a million dollars in the game.

Once it gets to a currency level, that is hard for me to comprehend. Bezos money, I guess some could say.

I wonder how much a Bezos fart is worth. Like, how much money does he make while farting?

We could figure that out. Probably could.
Average person farts 20 times a day. Probably takes one second to fart.
Maybe two seconds. 20 times a day.
I found something that's high. No, I'm not.

I think I don't fart that much. What if we do

farting into a bag day and see who inflates the bag the most? Oh, my God.

Like a Mario Party minigame where they inflate the Bowser. Yeah.

Who's going to have the biggest fart back?

I feel like I go through farting phases.

I have to catch it at the right time because there's phases.

I may fart like three times on a Wednesday, you know, but then like 40 times on a thursday you just never know what you eat on wednesday nights

that's a good question

last night i had the worst fajitas uh

i made them it sucked oh no yeah i was real bummed man i decided i wanted to cook fajitas i thought that'd be a nice little thing for emily to come home to because this is the bad time of the year for her and she's exhausted and plus she broke her toe the other day and she's just like working through it and that's the whole thing her toe's like it looks like it's blue.

Oh, God, it's gross. It's fucking black.
She calls it her zombie toe.

Anyway,

she like sticks it in my face a lot. It's really disgusting.

Anyway, so I decided to make her fajitas. I thought that'd be a nice little surprise and I went to the store to buy fajita meat and it was all turkeys for Thanksgiving.
And I thought, of course it is.

Why would I? Why would I buy fajitas in November? Why would I expect to find fajitas meat in November?

But also I live in Texas and it's 86 degrees outside and I rode my bike in shorts and came home too sweaty. So I feel like grilling is probably still on the table.

So I went to three grocery stores before I found Fajita meat. And then it wasn't very good.
What is fajita meat? Just like shitty meat. Yeah.

Well, it's like cut up skirt steak. Yeah.

Like, surely if you couldn't find fajita meat, you could you just hack up a steak? I could have hacked up a skirt steak myself, but it was already marinated and cut up. And I'm not looking to.

put that much work into this thing. I don't have all the time in the world.
If I'm going to marinate meat, I want to do it for a while. And I had this idea like 4 p.m.

So

it was more just like, oh, I'll just run over to Whole Foods and get some. Nope.
All right, I'll just run H-E B. Nope.
I'll just go to the, okay.

I don't even, I don't even know what we're talking about. Oh, because I, because that, but it didn't result in farts.
Okay. Oh, right.
Okay.

I've just realized in the between people talking in this podcast, I'm so distracted because I bought new headphones. And when there's silence, I can hear my earblood.
What?

I can like hear hear my heartbeat. What? The fuck?

That's just a crazy way to say heartbeat.

Well,

I can't hear my heart. I can't hear my

heart. I can feel.

I can hear the blood in my heart. That's why I don't like earbuds.
I can hear my heart when you do it.

I'm not a fan. Can you really? Yeah, I feel like you can.
I feel like your body looks for sound and that's internal.

Yeah.

You can hear it.

It'd be cool if you could just just tell your body like i'm not interested in any sounds right now you don't have to you don't have to give me all the information like i assume my blood's moving

that's fair i might have to return these headphones they're like too too good yeah

too sealed do you think it'll you'll get used to it like sometimes when i've swabbed headphones uh before and i couldn't hear myself in them There's definitely a phase of like, oh, this is terrible.

Then you get used to it and then you lose it. Maybe you need that.
Maybe after a while, you'll be like, I can't believe I lived without this. Without hearing my heartbeat.
Yeah.

Do you think you might not even notice it? You might be like, oh, fuck, am I still alive? I don't have that comforting heartbeat to listen to. Maybe.

Maybe I should

stick a microphone in my ear and record it or something. And then I'll listen to it and see if that's what I'm hearing.

Yeah.

Sure, go for it. I think you should have a microphone that you could put in your ear currently.
Yeah. Really? Interesting.
Well, I mean, a lav mic would fit down my ear hole. Sure.
Okay. So what's

really surprised? And then you're like, oh. Oh, I didn't know you had one.
So how about that?

I've also got one of those like contact, what are they called? The mics that you actually like stick to something. Like you like suction them on.

Suction cut?

No, they pick up like the low frequency materials. Oh

remember, well, then we're not gonna get it. Nick's the only chance we had of that one.
Yeah, we struck out. Yeah, we struck out.

It's what it's like a mic that you stick on something. Oh, yeah, huh?

Is it like the thing we did and does it do?

Yeah, is it like a magic ear?

Oh, magic. Oh, yeah, what was that?

That was like the

thing that

almost blew up my eardrum. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That was funny. That was so funny.

You must have some weird, specific, like, recording and or text stuff for what you do with slow-mo guys, Gavin.

What's one of the weirder items you have that, like, you just don't get to pull out often? I've got some like weird probe lenses at funny angles.

And yeah, I guess that like contact mic is kind of weird. You don't use that all the time.
Is there any greater joy than when someone says, like, oh, I need this incredibly specific thing?

And you get to go, I got it. I'm ready.
Yeah, isn't that so satisfying? Where you're like, oh, I've got this.

I had something that someone needed recently. It was like a screwdriver that only Nintendo uses.

Yes.

I was like, yeah, I got that. Whoa.

That's crazy. If you need to open up like an old retro console or like a virtual boy or something,

I've got you covered.

You were... going to try something, Gavin, that you texted me about.

And I was curious, what's the state of your Pikachu at the moment? So the thing I'm going to try,

I was reading a thing that, you know, it's getting to the point where a lot of my childhood is dying.

Like VHS tapes are going all gammy and you got to like back them up because like the magnetic shit's coming off them. And like Game Boy games, the batteries are dying around now.

So I was thinking, I need to save my Pikachu. I need to get my Pokemon Yellow Pikachu off that cartridge and get him through the generations up into a modern Pokemon game.

But it's very difficult to get them off like a Gen 1 and 2 cartridge. There's some weird like hackery to be done, but I think it's possible.

So when you say hackery, you're going to have to go beyond the maybe initial designs of what Nintendo allows to have this happen? Yeah, I'm potentially going to have to dump the

ROM off my cartridge to a PC and then potentially try and use a different hack to trade him. onto a gen 3 and then just keep trading him up eventually get him into pokemon bank

which is like a delisted DS thing that you can still get. Interesting.
And then into an app called Pokemon Home on the Switch, where all of your current Pokemon can just live in a box.

But I think it'd be so cool to be like, oh, yeah, I met this Pikachu in 1998 or something. That is cool.
This is fat.

This is fascinating.

I would love to see you chronicle that process. That sounds really cool.

Yeah, yeah, I think I'm going to try and document it because I think it's going to be weird to be able to say, oh, this Pikachu is older than all my real pets.

and it potentially outlive all of pets all of my pets and me yeah it's like buying a bird because i i i am always sad that as a kid i was on i was always selling my last thing to buy like a secondhand new thing so i don't have my original super nintendo or my original n64 with like my original donkey kong 64 save on it

But for some reason, never sold the Game Boys.

My Game Boy games are the oldest, the oldest game saves I have. And I kind of love that.
That's so cool. You should go in and check the batteries on this and replace them if you need to.
Yeah,

I checked my Pokemon Yellow cartridge, and

the Pikachu lives. So I need to back him up as soon as possible and then try this Pikachu.
It's such a weird jank. Pikachu lives.
He lives.

I want to meet this Pikachu on a modern day console at some point. That's what I was going to ask is if, let's say, you get him to home, which sounds like the end goal.

Is there any like modern game you're able to use him on i think potentially i could uh trade him into pokemon scarlet or maybe pokemon a z or whatever the new one is and he could just be in my really high i think he's like a level 71 pikachu or something he definitely smashed the elite four in pokemon yellow that's so cool is very excited Pokemon Yellow the first of the Pokemon games?

No, it's the first one I had. The first one that came out in Europe was the, I think, the same ones as the US, which was red and blue.
Oh, so it went red, blue, and then yellow?

Yeah, and in Japan, it was like red, green, and then blue. Okay.

Yeah, which is the gen one.

They did the color thing,

from what I understand, to try to compete with Mario sales. Oh.
Oh, is that true? I heard they made it red and blue in North America because of the flag colors.

Oh.

Really? Maybe. Maybe no one really knows.
Well, I don't think the color is the like the reason as to why they sold two different versions of it was just to try to compete with Mario Sales.

Did the game work? Is it different? Is red and are they different games? Like is blue a different game from red? Yeah, like like slightly.

It's just the

because you can't get all 150 if you just play blue. You have to have red because it has a few Pokemon in that specific versus blue specific.

And there's Pokemon that evolve by trading that was the thing that they wanted you to do was like and you get this one and then your friend gets the other one and then you trade the pokemon or whatever to fill up your polka decks so you wouldn't buy red and blue you'd just buy red and then have a friend with blue and then you have to trade to get it that way i had blue when i was a kid my brother had red but i had a friend jace and we would ride our bikes to an ice cream shop and trade pokemon because he had pokemon red and it was like that's where we would meet up and trade pokemon and be like hell yeah dude now we don't have to bring this stuff to school because someone might take it.

So

I only ever traded between current gen.

I don't think I fully understood that you could trade Pokemon up generations. Like you could wait three years and then use your Pokemon in the next game.
I think that's so cool.

You don't really get a lot of stuff like that now. No.
Yeah, that is very cool. But I also determined, looking through all this Pokemon crap,

I don't remember

any of the games. Like I played Pokemon X.
Don't remember that for shit. So I think I'm just going to play Pokemon Y,

the other one of that. And then I could potentially complete a Pokedex, which I've never done.

Is Y the most current one? No, it's from like 2013. It was just, I think, the last one I played properly.
Talking about Pokemon made me think about it.

I was a perfect age for it. I loved it.

I had a bunch of the cards. Everybody, all the kids that I knew were super into Pokemon.
and getting the cards and like collecting them.

And we did like a neighborhood trade between me and like four or five of the other kids in the neighborhood. And my mom moderated it to make sure, like, things remained fair.

And thinking about the value of those, like, initial run cards now,

like, at the time, it was like, whatever, just making sure cards in, cards out for people.

But the value of those cards in good condition now, it's so funny of thinking back of how much money probably passed back and forth theoretically with those things.

I bet 160 pounds of Pokemon cards could be worth their weight in gold. Oh, yeah.
Depending on the cards. Absolutely.
And the grading. Yeah.

Insane. It's funny to think back of those things that are worth not nearly as much as they are currently.
Jeff. Value.

That's me. I'm Jeff.

If you had to take your weight in cards, you don't get to pick what cards they are. You just get a random

weight of the cards that you own, like your weight. How much do you think they would be worth? Just a random amount.
Like

let's say you're 230 pounds. So

I'm like 185 pounds. So that's

185 pounds of random cards that you had. Do you think they would be worth

your weight in gold or what do you think would they be?

Cause my weight and gold.

Gavin, look up 185.

185. Are we talking tops? We're talking panini.
I think it's just

gotta be, I think it's just gotta be like a random, like if you had to guess like a mean amount.

I'd like to put put some

containers on it in a second, but I want to hear what this weight is. I somehow accidentally googled 1985 golf.

What can you tell me about 1985 golf? Well,

185 pounds of gold is $11 million. dollars uh

how about i get 30 million from

i mean i could put together 11 million dollars i in two cards but yeah if it's just a random that's the thing it's like

is it

sport a multi-sport can i just can i pick a sport can i say only basketball yeah sure yeah you could pick a yeah you could pick a sport is there a potential for vintage in there as well or is yeah i mean if you if you own it sure

it would be a random assortment of cards that you have Oh, that I own. Yeah.
So you're asking if I have $11 million in cards? Yeah.

Yeah.

I didn't bat an eyelid when you're like, I can whip together 11 million. That was, I was really impressed.
I'm like, wow, he must have some really cool cards.

No, I mean, you're just asking me what my card collection is worth.

Nothing. Oh,

185 pounds of silver is $138,000. Do you think you could make that?

Oh,

No.

Okay. 185 pounds of aluminum is 236 bucks.
You think you can make that? Okay. I'm somewhere in between those two.
Somewhere between $100,000 and $230.

On the Marcus Smarts alone. Yeah, I mean, I have,

I mean, I probably have $10,000 worth of Marcus Smart cards. The problem is, how are you going to get somebody to buy them?

So out there, there are two cards that would combine to be $11 million?

Sure. That'd be such an easy way of moving money internationally.
It's converting it to those two cards and just sticking them in your pocket. Yeah.

Going through border control. Yeah, I'm sure you wouldn't be nervous the whole time or anything.
I'm sure it would be so easy. Well, it'd be more easy than a briefcase of cash.

Well, here we go. I can do it even easier than that.

The 2007-2008 Upper Deck Exquisite Collection Michael Jordan Kobe Bryant dual logo man cards sold for $12.932 million.

What?

What, like, if you, I get having like a lot of money and then you're spending it on like crazy stuff, whatever, but like

one card, 12 million, like, what do you do with it?

That's crazy.

It's an, it's just an investment. I would have zero joy.
This is the card.

You just, you sit in it. You sit in it like a stock.
That's the card. It's like having that Mickey Mantle.
I guess it's just like having a big, big old fat brokerage account, except it's one card.

Yeah.

And a lot of people are,

I've seen this a lot online are recommending, a lot of the

people are recommending that you put an amount of your investment into collectibles, not necessarily cards, but maybe like 2% to 5% of your investments into cards, some form of collectible, whether it be art or

physical and like

to diversify, to have some MP proof.

Yeah, exactly. Interesting.
And if you look at how much cards have gone up in value,

the right cards have gone up in value. I mean, it's good.
We're doing that as a company. We have all these these skateboards.
We got Larry King stuff.

We have the tuxedo. We got King's the Sinis.
Yeah, we're diversifying. This is good.
Speaking of diversifying, I saw something I think maybe we need.

I'm going to post it in the Slack or in the Discord.

Okay, Discord.

Costco.

Oh.

Oh, the SpongeBob claw machine?

Yeah, we could buy a SpongeBob claw machine today for $600.

I don't want our own claw machine.

I don't know.

I don't want a barrel of water

claw machine i want to take this money go to a claw machine place and bleed them dry

what if we had a claw machine and it was full of gerplas okay

oh

for what

yeah okay

i'm just saying i feel like we've we've discussed having one in the past i feel like we could we could find something cool to do i'm not saying we should buy this one today i'm just saying they're out there and they're affordable.

They're attainable. Maybe we could hook it up so we just stream the claw machine and then

people take it in turns to control the machine. And if, and, you know, they can win Goebbels in it.
I do like that idea.

I'm just thinking about it as a child because you're talking about, Jeff, like what's the things you would ask for. On a smaller scale, anytime I saw a claw machine, I was a fucking annoyance.

I wanted in. Give me a dollar.

I could take this whole operation down with $2. Just give it to me.
For me. I like it.
So excited.

When I was a kid, claw machines came a little bit later. For me,

it was gumball machines that had 50 cent stickers in them.

And then you would just get these two pieces of cardboard and you'd open it up and it'd just have like this fucking metallic looking sticker that said like red dude or something. Oh, yeah.

I love that. I was thinking about if for like a

birthday or something and I got super spoiled, $650 just for claw machines. Oh my God.
Dude,

this, this is the thing when I go to something like Pinball,

this is the thing that I spend all my money on. It is called Disco Fever.

I love this machine specifically. It's like the only coin pusher that I play.
It's my favorite. They used to have it at the real way up north one, the Lake Creek or Lake, whatever it is.

But apparently they don't make parts for it anymore. And I met the guy who worked on it.
And I'm like, oh, yeah, you guys bringing back Disco Fever?

And he went, don't ever fucking say that name to me. And I went, all right, right on, man.
Cool.

Why?

Apparent, like, it's so fucking hard to repair. It was always in disrepair, but they have one at regular pinballs, normal pinballs.
And so I go there and I play that. I love it.

It's probably harder to repair than that freaking horse racing game. I think it might be neck and neck with the horse racing game.

Here's a company that sells coin pusher machines we could just buy new. Yeah, that angry birds one is fun.
I play that one sometimes.

They have a called Tornado on page two that looks pretty cool. Oh, cool.

Sometimes it's a shame we don't have like an RTX to do stuff at anymore. Imagine if we sold the fuckface coin.
Yeah.

Then at RTX, we had like an exclusive new coin, but the only way you could get it was to put your fuckface coin in a coin pusher and hopefully. That would be crazy.

That would be so nuts.

Wow.

We should do that.

Well, I'm like, yeah.

Yeah, we'll start selling our fuckface coin now and just say, like, one day in the future, you may be able to use it for a chance, a new coin.

It's a different coin, but you'll probably just give the coin you bought from us back to us. Yeah, and we're going to resell it.

And you're going to hate it. It's unfortunately way too scammy, but I do like the idea of like a maybe for something in the future.
Like buying something that you might be able to use one day.

It's like buying a coin for like a subscription service for a coin. You just keep trading it back and forth.

They did a collector's edition, I believe, was I am 8-bit for blue prints that I bought because it's one of my favorite games of all time.

Oh, I bought that and in it, it has a coupon for future blue prints merchandise. So it's like, I don't know what this is for, but wait, did you guys arrive? No, I just ordered it.

He was about to get up there.

Gavin was so

ages ago. I was like,

I want it now.

I'm getting worked up.

Gavin, it's in a coin pusher, and you need to use a fuckface coin to possibly push it out. It's the only way.

Now, when you buy

a piece of,

I don't know, collectible or ephemeral like this, Gavin, do you buy three of them like every Bo Burnham album or you just get the one? Okay.

Yeah, I don't. I don't want three of anything useless.

Like, I have been known to buy multiples of stuff i like that you got this gavin because there's collectible keys in that thing you and i are gonna have to talk we're gonna have to exchange what you got what i got we gotta get andrew we gotta get your mom involved to make sure it's on the up and up

let's do this straight in front of your mom it's so funny too because she had no idea what she was doing she was just an adult but like in terms of value or like how rare cards were she'd have no clue but i bet she was able to hold the whole thing together definitely it orchestrated it, but it's not, she was not an authority on it.

But you don't need to know about the cars to know which kid is being a wretched little shit. That's true.

And to see that it's your kid.

No, I would have been the one. I was the smallest.
I would have been very non-confrontational and the tiniest little

person on the street. Was that back when you could fit hats? Oh, yeah, I could definitely fit hats, I think.
And there's a small period of time. Post-baby, baby couldn't fit hats.

Then I got into hat mode for a few years and then out of hat mode. Baby couldn't fit hats.

Oh, you saw a photo of me as a baby.

You fit hats. Do you remember the last hat you fit? Yeah, what age did you grow out of a whole genre of clothing? You know what? The last hat I could fit.

which was a miracle, I was able to buy it at the store. I was able to buy it from a lids.
It was a BC Lions hat and it barely fit, but it was during their worst season in like recent years.

They had like one win the entire season. Do you think potentially if you kept the hat on, you could still be wearing it, or would you have busted through the hat? Oh,

or would you have just stifled your head enough?

Busted through the hat. I feel like the head is probably like my nose and ears.
I feel like it's all growing constantly. There's no way you would have ripped through.

I don't think you're gonna have to. Through a hat with your head.

It would be discomfort.

Not good. It would have been like when a ring gets stuck on a finger and you have to have it cut off.
Yes. Yeah.

Fabric saw.

We still need to make a hat that would fit your cranium. Yeah, we do.

We failed so badly last time. Yeah, I just don't even know how we like, I don't know how you approach something like that.
I don't know how to make new garments.

Like, we just tell them make hat bigger. Well, we still don't know Andrew's head size because you still haven't scanned it.
Oh, right.

I need to print your head and then do some drapery on it or something. Yeah.

Someone in the community made me a beanie once, and I think they took two of like what the circumferences was to make it work. Did it fit?

Yeah, it fit

comfortably. Yeah, it was nice.
But they had to take like they doubled, they literally doubled, I think, the normal size.

I've met you several times, and I never once thought, bloody hell, your head's big. You just look like you had a normal head to me.
I think it's sneaky. I think it's sneaky.

Can't we just get you like

one of these things, and you just cut the hole so it fits you? Yeah.

Oh, you like tremble it out? Yeah. Yeah.
You just like, you get that. That's like the base, and you go, well, it's, it's not big enough.
And then you go, oh, don't worry, I'll just carve this out.

And then, yeah, that's it. That would make your head look really small as well.

Yeah. You can, you can look, you can look like this beautiful woman with her giant.

Is it the JCPenney sports fan shop?

JC Penny sells a giant hat. Please, dude, when you search oversized hats, these pictures

are killing me. These pictures are fucking killing me.

I've already used these as a thumbnail, but I got to do it again.

Surely, you're just going to ruin whoever's behind you. You're just going to ruin that day at the game.
Yeah. Nick, look, look, you can get the Longhorns one.
Sweet, they're doing great.

Andrew, it seemed like we gave you a suggestion for a hat solution and you're being pretty quiet about it. He's looking.
I'm just the value. I'm thinking about it.

I like to imagine that their head will eventually fit that hat, that it's small, but that it'll grow up. It's like getting shoes when you're a kid.

It's like, oh, you got like a little bit of room to grow. Yeah.

How about this question, Andrew? Let's say we found a hat that fit you perfectly. Okay.
And it's not a comically large hat.

It's just a hat that's double the circumference of a normal hat, so it fits your head snugly and perfectly. Okay.

So you have your choice of any sports team that you represent with your very first adult-sized hat. What team do you pick? That's easy.

I'm a big Vancouver Goldeneyece fan this season, first game on Friday of this week. Cannot wait.
They got a fucking sick logo.

Vancouver Golden Eyes would be the team. PW.

PW. Is that a hockey? That's a hockey team? Female Hockey League.

Oh, yeah.

Okay.

They're their first season. It's on this Friday.

It's an awesome logo. So Goldeneye is a bird? It's, yeah, I guess like a duck.

Which I learned

from them.

I'd only heard Goldeneye in the context of Bond movies. And I went,

Ian Fleming's house.

It's crazy. I really like this hat that looks like you could get it at the airport.

just a hat it says vancouver vancouver

what time's the game i don't know i need to check that i'll have to look at that later i just know it's on friday and i'm you're gonna be going to it are you gonna be watching it no i'll just be watching from home okay but i'm excited i believe in the team it's fun to have like a new team to cheer for your area yeah that's why i'm that's what the blackhawks uh i mean

that's what the red wings are oh i'm gonna i'm cutting that out sending it to Burn Dog. I'm sending that to Burn Dog.

He's going to post it on the Red Wing subreddit, dude. He's going to get you.
He's going to slam you. He's going to get you.
I'm going to get. They're going to get me good.

I said the wrong one.

But it is. It's fun.

You don't know anything about them and you're learning and you don't know who all the players are yet and you're starting to figure it out and then you're starting to recognize names. And then, yeah,

you start to discover the storylines and who hates who. that's yeah, discovery is always fun.
It's like a whole other level when the team didn't exist.

And this is like the first game of the team and being able to follow their history from the beginning. What do you think this podcast has been worth its weight in?

Hot dogs, like Costco hot dogs, dollar fifty.
