[00:00] Kayak gets my flight, hotel, and rental car right, so I can tune out travel advice that's just plain wrong.

Speaker 2:
[00:07] Bro, Skycoin, way better than points. Never fly during a Scorpio full moon.

Speaker 1:
[00:13] Just tell the manager you'll sue. Instant room upgrade. Stop taking bad travel advice. Start comparing hundreds of sites with Kayak, and get your trip right. Bad advice? You talking to me?

Speaker 3:
[00:25] Kayak, got that right.

Speaker 1:
[00:29] So, you're saying with Hilton Honors, I can use points for a free night's stay anywhere? Anywhere. What about fancy places like the Canopy in Paris?

Speaker 4:
[00:38] Yeah, Hilton Honors, baby.

Speaker 1:
[00:40] Or relaxing sanctuaries like the Conrad in Touloume?

Speaker 4:
[00:43] Hilton Honors, baby.

Speaker 1:
[00:45] What about the five-star Waldorf Astoria in the Maldives? Are you going to do this for all 9,000 properties?

Speaker 2:
[00:52] When you want points that can take you anywhere, anytime, it matters where you stay. Hilton, for the stay. Book your spring break now.

[00:59] Hello and welcome to another episode of the Regulation Podcast. This is episode 102. My name is Geoff Ramsey. With me as always, Andrew Panton, Gavin Free, Nick Schwartz, Eric Bedour. I got to say something at the top of the episode. I got to say something. 50 years old, grew up in Florida, Alabama, was a Gen X kid riding the streets all day long, doing the dumbest stuff you could imagine, made my own pipe bombs as a kid, did all kinds of nonsense around water. I have done so many drugs and alcohol throughout my life. I've abused myself in so many ways. I had no idea that it would be Nick that would finally take me down. Nick, you have killed me. I may be speaking right now, but these are the death throes of a corpse, my friend. I am never going to recover from this illness. Yesterday, I thought I was going to die. And today, I feel marginally better. What have you infected me with?

Speaker 4:
[01:59] I don't know, but get ready.

Speaker 2:
[02:01] Round two of sore throats coming back.

Speaker 6:
[02:03] I'm already in it, man.

Speaker 4:
[02:04] Is there a round three?

Speaker 6:
[02:06] I don't know, man.

Speaker 4:
[02:08] I got a sore throat today and yesterday.

Speaker 3:
[02:10] Do you think it's the rats?

Speaker 4:
[02:11] I'd better not be the fucking rats. We'll die.

Speaker 5:
[02:15] Gavin and I have taken it upon ourselves to do something about those rats. Oh, we put some we put a little bit of work in yesterday.

Speaker 4:
[02:23] Have you considered having someone dress up as ratty boy to maybe lure out the rat as like the rat got them thinking rat god is among them, wanting them to run out sort of a pied piper type situation?

Speaker 1:
[02:37] Yeah, it is an idea.

Speaker 5:
[02:38] It is an idea for sure.

Speaker 4:
[02:39] I mean, ratty boy is like the DiCaprio of rats, I would assume.

Speaker 5:
[02:43] As far as celebrity goes, rat Caprio, rat Caprio.

Speaker 3:
[02:47] I'm surprised you're not patrolling at night, Andrew, because they're surely nocturnal creatures.

Speaker 4:
[02:52] Let me you know what? I'm going to do reconnaissance tonight. It's I was stuck for so long.

Speaker 6:
[02:58] A lot of this is on Andrew. A lot it is on Andrew.

Speaker 3:
[03:01] But I was careful, though.

Speaker 4:
[03:03] I will be if I get if I get sucked in. Well, I played Plague Tale one and two. I've dealt with some rats. I know what's up with the rat kingdom.

Speaker 5:
[03:12] To be be wary of our Rube Goldberg of rat traps.

Speaker 4:
[03:16] Oh, man, I could get trapped in a whole new way.

Speaker 6:
[03:18] They're everywhere. You have to be really careful. You walk when you walk in the door, you get hit. When you sit down at your desk, you get hit. When you just want a nice little piece of cheese, you get hit. It's terrible.

Speaker 3:
[03:28] Are you that now?

Speaker 6:
[03:29] Yeah. Did you get got three times?

Speaker 5:
[03:33] Whoa, dude. Those are some serious rat traps. I thought I was going to lose a finger just setting them up yesterday. Oh, God. I I got two things for this episode, and that's probably about what my voice can handle.

Speaker 4:
[03:47] And so, of course, you want to do a knock them out now or do you want to like spread out for your voice recovery?

Speaker 5:
[03:53] What do you want to do? Let's knock it out now.

Speaker 4:
[03:55] OK.

Speaker 5:
[03:56] First, first things first. I. I had a fall.

Speaker 1:
[04:02] I don't know how to describe it.

Speaker 4:
[04:04] What? A gentle ghost.

Speaker 5:
[04:06] The other day, I went for a bike ride, maybe. And as I was pulling my bike out of the garage, my car is parked right in front of the garage. And then immediately to the left is a little porch for my front Thoris. And on that front porch, we have potted plants. I've had them there the entire time we've lived here. Right. But the other day, my wife, she said, you know, it'd be fun. I want to grow a jalapeno plant. I want to cook her. I want to grow our own jalapenos. I've had a ton of success growing jalapenos in the past. So I said, this is a fucking great idea. I love it. We went and we got a jalapeno plant. We put it in a nice planter. We put it on the front porch because it gets a ton of sunlight there. And something weird happened after that. Out of the blue, all of a sudden, even though I've had like 10 potted plants on my front door the entire time and a bunch in the backyard, the squirrels became transfixed with this jalapeno plant. They don't want the plant, but they want to dig in the dirt and they keep digging it up and they have to keep replanting it and they keep digging it up. And so, and I don't know why the little fuckers are doing it. And so now, by the way, we'll talk about this later when I have more energy. I am now declaring war on squirrels. I've been, I've had a cautious alliance with squirrels my entire life. I've always given them the benefit of the doubt, but what they've done to the furniture in my backyard mixed with this fucking jalapeno plant, enough is enough. I'm a fucking sucker if I just let them roll over me again and again and again. So me and the squirrels, we're not good anymore. I don't know if we ever will be again, but we'll talk about the backyard some other time. Right now I'm dealing with this motherfucking squirrel digging up my plant every day. So I thought, you know, I've put it back together like six times since then, by the way, I've taken giant river rocks and Emily and I have and we've put them around the plant so they can't dig at. They're not that strong. They can't lift up a river rock. They're fucking little little weak squirrel arms, little noodle arms. They need to hit the gym anyway. So the problem's hopefully fixed by now. But anyway, at this point, it wasn't. And I pull my bike out and it's kind of wedged in between the front portion. There's like maybe a three foot lane there between the car and the front porch. And so I push the bike out a little bit and I'm going to check the tires to make sure that, you know, I got good pressure before I go for my ride. And I look over and there's just dirt all over the front porch. And I look and the motherfucker has just gone deep, deeper than ever before into my plant, ripping dirt out. And I'm like, how fucking deal with it later. And then I thought, no, no, fuck that. No, that's not, that's not cool. So I parked my bike. So it's immediately to the left of my car. And then I turn around and I just squat down and I start putting dirt back into the potted plant. And I get it all put in and I'm just kind of like squatted and, you know, flat footed with and I get it all put back together. And then I go to stand up from a squat and something in my shirt catches my bike, something on my bike. And it knocks my bike forward onto the ground, which somehow knocks me backwards into my car. I've moved eight inches vertically, maybe at this point, but somehow I get slammed so far, so hard from just standing up, not even far, like I wasn't even up waist high, just standing, beginning to stand up. Something happens where the bike goes one way, I go the other. I hit the car so hard it knocks my breath out. I have to recover. I have to sit in that slump back down and I'm like, okay, what the fuck is that? How did that much force get generated out of that minor movement, right? And I'm like, shake the fucking cobwebs off, you know? And I get up and I look, my car's fine. And I go pick up my bike and my bike is thrashed. The fall over on my bike, which by the way, this bike, this Trek bike has been a workhorse since I've got it. I used to have all those stories about my bike, batteries exploding and tires falling off and all that shit was different bikes. That all died the day I bought this bike. It has been perfect since I've had it for like five years now, right? And so I pick my bike up and I see just pieces of my bike on the ground. Just that little fall, it knocked the backlight, which is a part of the frame on my bike, knocked it completely off. I had to spin my battery, which is locked in to the bike. And there's something wrong with the mechanism in the lock, so I can't unlock it. So the battery's just been permanently locked into the bike for a couple of years now. And it's shot across the yard. It's like eight feet away somehow. So I pick my bike up and then I have to spend a half an hour gluing my light back together. And I have to like, it takes me 20 minutes just to get the battery back into the bike. Because like I said, it's like the lock is weird and I got to like, kajigger it and it's kind of broken. And I finally get it all back together. And I don't know how like a six or eight inch vertical raise can cause so much damage to a human and a bike in such a short, like it made no sense. I was taken away by how much catastrophe arose from just me going from a, trying to go from a crouched to a stand.

Speaker 3:
[09:03] Sounds like an explosion. Was anyone walking by to watch you get basically run over by a parked car?

Speaker 5:
[09:09] No, thank God. No, no, I'm sure the squirrel saw it.

Speaker 6:
[09:14] Do you think they had a hand in it?

Speaker 5:
[09:16] Fuck, dude, maybe I hadn't considered that. But you know what? It didn't make sense. Like when I was standing up and suddenly I was attached to my bike, I was like, what the fuck is, you know, you have the time. You're like, that's not right. And then the next thing you know, it's just all hell's broken loose. It's like fucking Vietnam War for 18 seconds.

Speaker 4:
[09:31] Yeah. Now, I know it's an annoyance, but you're kind of lucky to have had the bike break in the way it did, because it validates your force. Like if it was just you feeling this, I don't know if I necessarily believe it was as impactful. You know, you're hurt and dealing with. Yeah, killing you with your disease. Like you're you're in a weakened general state. So I'd be like, I don't know to what extent if Geoff was fully healthy, what does this impact actually feel like? But the fact that your bike got ruined is like, well, there are some real force that happened here.

Speaker 5:
[10:02] That's a real good point, Andrew. And I appreciate you elucidating it, because I hadn't I hadn't gotten there on my own. I definitely was in the throes of this catastrophic illness. Nick has wrought upon me.

Speaker 3:
[10:14] I love the idea of you climbing off your car, looking at your exploded bike and being like, well, at least my force has been validated.

Speaker 5:
[10:21] Nick, Nick just asked if it was on my doorbell footage. You know what, Nick, I'll have to check. It might be, oh, it might be just off the doorbell. Like I might be just at a frame, but maybe you'll see like the battery shoot in. Or if it's anything like my missing key, it'll just be me and then it'll just cut to everything being on the ground. The other, the only other thing I really have is I wanted to ask you guys, you know that phrase, I'm getting too old for this shit. Where do you think it originates from?

Speaker 4:
[10:58] I mean, I definitely is associated with Danny Glover in Leath of the Weapon.

Speaker 3:
[11:03] Leath of the Weapon immediately.

Speaker 5:
[11:04] A hundred percent. That's what I would associate it with as well. That movie came out in 1987. I was watching a movie over the weekend. You know, Emily was out of town and I went on a movie watching terror. I watched like 11 movies over the weekend. One of them I watched was a 1985 film that I've always wanted to see. Because I remember it when I was a kid, but it was like a grown up movie and I wasn't allowed to watch it and I never was able to sneak it. Called To Live and Die in LA. Which is, it's about like, it's a cop thriller. And it's actually a pretty good movie. And I'm not going to talk about the virtues of the film. But it was a good film and it was worth watching. And two things happened in it that I thought are worth note. But the first thing is, within five minutes of the film starting, a cop unironically turns to another one and says, I'm getting too old for this shit. And I was like, what the fuck? This movie came out two years before Danny Glover. So then I thought, have I just misattributed this to Danny Glover my entire life? So I Google it, he's like the first 20 results for it. But I look, it's been around a lot longer. It's even been around longer than 1985's To Live and Die in LA. The first instance I can find of somebody saying, I'm getting too old for this shit, is Steve McQueen in the 1980 film The Hunter. And then it was set again in 1981 in Stripes by Sergeant Holka. So apparently, it's been set a bunch and I had no idea. I just thought I thought that was interesting and that I would share it with you guys.

Speaker 3:
[12:29] I wonder who the first person was to become too old for something.

Speaker 4:
[12:32] I was going to say there's a long history of people becoming too old for shit.

Speaker 5:
[12:36] Yeah, I think it must be Steve McQueen. He must be the originator. I couldn't find any reference older than that.

Speaker 4:
[12:43] That one at least kind of makes sense. It would be really funny to find like a movie before Die Hard, where somebody says Yippee ki-yay, motherfucker.

Speaker 5:
[12:50] Yeah, right.

Speaker 4:
[12:51] What are those like weirdly specific?

Speaker 3:
[12:55] It'd be funny if someone at some point had someone happen to them in a movie and they said, I'm the perfect age for this.

Speaker 6:
[13:03] Now is the time for me.

Speaker 2:
[13:06] I'm in the demographic.

Speaker 5:
[13:07] I'm the exact age for this shit.

Speaker 6:
[13:09] Thank God this is happening to me today. That's awesome.

Speaker 5:
[13:15] The other thing about to live and die in LA and I'll get off of it and I'll relinquish the mic, is there is a car chase scene in it in through downtown Los Angeles that is the most Grand Theft Auto five car chase you will ever see. It is big sedans that oversteer, covered in bullet holes going up and down, freeways, jumping underpasses going through the LA river. It is, I challenge you to watch it and not go, oh, I did that last week in GTA. It is, I've never seen something, genuinely never seen something in real life translate so identically to the video game. Like it is, you recognize all the sets, all the streets, because you've done it in Los Santos a thousand times, and it's the exact same cars. Like it is fucking crazy, and it lasts a long time. And the entire time I was watching it, I was like, I can't believe this is picture perfect, a GTA car chase scene in every way.

Speaker 6:
[14:13] What I remember from it is that it's like down in the LA. River, and then like they're up in like the bridges and everything. And it's a lot of bridges. Yeah, it's where we just spend all of our time in GTA, like a hundred percent. It's crazy. It's crazy how it is exactly like Grand Theft Auto. It's nuts. It like they just took all this inspiration from this movie.

Speaker 5:
[14:34] If we match the cars from the movie into Grand Theft Auto as close as possible, I wouldn't be surprised if we did a GTA let's play and we cut a couple of shots of the movie in to a chase scene of us. I bet we could trick the audience.

Speaker 3:
[14:48] Should we just do a whole scene shot for short in GTA?

Speaker 5:
[14:51] We could try it. We really should try it. It's I think we could. Yeah.

Speaker 4:
[14:54] I want it on the record that what Geoff is requesting for everybody, just want I just want it noted, is that we make machinima. Yeah, no, it just is an important thing.

Speaker 3:
[15:03] I thought you were saying put the movie clip in the thing.

Speaker 5:
[15:06] No, I wasn't requesting machinima at all. I was saying we should intercut a movie cut.

Speaker 4:
[15:09] Oh, just the film? I thought you wanted us to recreate it within the game.

Speaker 6:
[15:13] I was with Andrew. I was with Andrew.

Speaker 5:
[15:14] Gavin recommended machinima immediately after I said it. We should recreate it.

Speaker 3:
[15:18] That was me. I said that.

Speaker 5:
[15:20] And I'm fucking, I'm totally okay with flexing the machinima muscles every once in a great while. It's not a problem.

Speaker 3:
[15:26] Is the LA River ever more than six inches deep?

Speaker 6:
[15:30] Yeah, have you not seen it full?

Speaker 5:
[15:32] Does it get full?

Speaker 6:
[15:33] Oh, dude, it's crazy. Like it fills up pretty fast too. And it like, I've been there when it get like, you know, it's raining and whatever, dude, it gets, it gets, that doesn't happen in GTA. It moves, the water moves so fast and comes up so close to where you can walk along the side of it. It is like, it's dangerous how full it gets. That's cool. It is loud and all of it just dumps out into like the ocean or whatever. So it's not like anything stops it. It just goes.

Speaker 3:
[16:08] What river doesn't dump out into the ocean?

Speaker 6:
[16:12] Well, this one appears to be a little bit more manmade. So I was just kind of pointing out that that's what this is doing. Fucking dunce.

Speaker 4:
[16:27] The laughter on the topic of movies. I there's some like event going on right now where it's like E3 of movies from what I can gather and like all the new stories coming out related to it. We need to talk about what's happening with Air Bud. I'm very upset. I'm very what's the update? It's baffling. It kind of opens into a broader conversation. I want to read some of the quotes from this. They did like a thing of what the new Air Bud will be. They showed some clips and in it, they established that within the world of Air Bud, the original Air Bud dog is dead. They've killed the original dog.

Speaker 5:
[17:03] Well, I don't think they've killed him. I think he probably died of old age.

Speaker 4:
[17:06] No, they canonically killed him within the story. Like, it's not like, oh, he went off and played with the Harlem Globetrotters. They're like, no, this dog is fucking dead.

Speaker 6:
[17:14] Well, of course, he got shot.

Speaker 5:
[17:17] I'm just saying, I think he probably died of natural causes.

Speaker 4:
[17:20] Respectfully, Geoff, it's a movie about dogs playing elite sports. I don't think like the realm of like, well, I think logically, like that. Who cares?

Speaker 5:
[17:30] You think he got he got shot in the police chase?

Speaker 4:
[17:32] No, I just think that he could live forever. Why do we have to kill him?

Speaker 3:
[17:38] Well, what's what's more likely to happen in real life? A dog playing sport or a dog living for 40 years?

Speaker 4:
[17:46] Not just sport sport at the highest level, the MVP of the league. I want to read some of these quotes about because I look, I heard about it and I went, oh, this just feels like a thing they did to get people to talk about that. There's a new Air Bud movie coming out. The quotes about it are insane.

Speaker 5:
[18:07] If Air Bud was still balling, he'd have twice the LeBron career.

Speaker 4:
[18:11] And as he should, it's like 40 years. Director Robert Vince acknowledging the death of his canonical buddy in quotes makes total sense for the story he's telling here. These are in quotes. I think that now more story wise, I'm always wanting to ground our stories in reality, right? I know it's not reality, but grounded in reality so that it has a mythical kind of magical whimsicalness to it, but not fairyland. Vince told me in a chat backstage, for me, families want to have something grounded in reality, and that's super important to our storytelling and how we handle this. We don't take ourselves seriously, but we take the movie seriously in some ways. We don't try to dumb it down. We can try to make it something they can learn from. And then it goes on about grandkids asking about dogs dying and like explaining that death happens. Nobody wants this. Who wants this?

Speaker 5:
[18:59] I mean, every Disney movie ever had a parent die in the first five minutes.

Speaker 4:
[19:05] A parent or like in the context of it. And these are not those movies.

Speaker 3:
[19:09] So is Air Bud just a, is that the name of the dog?

Speaker 4:
[19:14] Well, the name of the dog is Buddy.

Speaker 3:
[19:16] So is this, is this like a descendant of Buddy?

Speaker 4:
[19:20] No, it's a random other golden retriever. It's a weird, the lore is deep of like, it is, the story is of a kid who is the kid of one of the kids in the first movie, I think, from my understanding.

Speaker 3:
[19:34] Well, surely got a different name, then it's going to be like Air Steve or something like, why is it still called Air Bud?

Speaker 4:
[19:38] That's a great point. Why is it called Air Bud? That is a great. What is the dog name?

Speaker 6:
[19:43] Air Steve is real good.

Speaker 4:
[19:46] I would watch Air Steve.

Speaker 6:
[19:48] Oh, shit, here comes Air Steve. Oh, Nothing in the rule book that says Steve can't play basketball.

Speaker 4:
[19:53] I just think it's so I'm so fascinated by people that create something and are at the heart of it, but have no awareness of what people like about it or like overthink it like Ridley Scott.

Speaker 6:
[20:05] Yeah, exactly like Ridley Scott.

Speaker 4:
[20:09] Ridley Scott is a great one.

Speaker 6:
[20:11] Ridley Scott is a great example, Gavin, is another one for me.

Speaker 4:
[20:14] I was trying to do like a draft in my head of like people that create a thing and are at the heart of it, but just don't understand why anybody else likes it. Kojima is another one for me where I don't think he understands what people like.

Speaker 3:
[20:24] They should understand that own creations is great.

Speaker 4:
[20:26] Yes, I think it's so fascinating, especially when your own creations is dog or animal does sports thing real good. The concept of like, we got to have some reality in these stories to really ground them. It's like, what are you talking about?

Speaker 6:
[20:39] So it's saying in the continuity of the earlier films, is this made by like the same guy who made original Air Bud or is this like new team? This is the same guy.

Speaker 4:
[20:47] Robert Vince owns all of the Air Bud stuff and has done all of like MVP and Air Buddies and all that.

Speaker 6:
[20:54] So, if it's like his creation and he can kill it in a thing that isn't necessary, like, you know, he's like making cannon, whatever, Geoff, is there anyone you want to kill from Red vs. Blue just canonically in the Regulation universe? I mean, you can just pick a character and you can just say like, they're dead if you want to. You can do it right now.

Speaker 5:
[21:15] It's fucking Griff. He didn't make it.

Speaker 6:
[21:18] Oh, guys, breaking news.

Speaker 5:
[21:21] He was, he was, yeah, he just, his heart popped one day from too many Oreos.

Speaker 6:
[21:26] Rest in peace, Air Bud and Griff. Rest in peace, guys.

Speaker 4:
[21:30] Coming to a theater near you.

Speaker 3:
[21:33] Geoff, in your head, does Griff look like you under the helmet?

Speaker 5:
[21:37] Whoa. Can I tell you, can I answer that completely and totally honestly?

Speaker 4:
[21:41] Yes, please.

Speaker 5:
[21:42] That thought has never crossed my mind. I genuinely, when you asked me, it was just like a blank space in my mind where the answer would be. Because it's never, I've never considered it before, Gav. I never imagined that I would play Griff in a live action thing. I figured if we ever did live action anything, it would be cast. That's how those things work, you know?

Speaker 3:
[22:06] Yeah, sure.

Speaker 5:
[22:09] So, no, I don't think so.

Speaker 3:
[22:11] Interesting.

Speaker 5:
[22:13] I don't know.

Speaker 4:
[22:13] If we ever get the ability to somehow interact with the Air Bud god, Robert Vince, we need to pitch him Air Bud Plays Griffball. That's the movie we need.

Speaker 3:
[22:25] How does a dog hold a hammer?

Speaker 4:
[22:27] You know, how does a dog fucking throw a three pointer?

Speaker 6:
[22:31] Can I?

Speaker 4:
[22:32] They'll figure it out. Honestly, it's just a big stick.

Speaker 6:
[22:36] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[22:37] Yeah, but for a guy who doesn't want Air Bud to die, he sure would die every time he scored.

Speaker 4:
[22:41] Yeah, but they respond in that. Canonically, there would be re-spawning.

Speaker 3:
[22:45] So the gravity hammer would be in his mouth.

Speaker 4:
[22:47] Yeah, I think so. It's a big stick.

Speaker 6:
[22:49] The dog in the new Air Bud be dead if we do a Griffball Air Bud. Can we say canonically we can kill that dog?

Speaker 4:
[22:55] I'm willing to make that trade for a Griffball Air Bud movie. There's it's so much funnier getting chased by an energy sword that isn't like lunged at you, but it's just a dog running full speed with it in its mouth.

Speaker 5:
[23:08] It just slices your Achilles as he's running by.

Speaker 3:
[23:12] I wonder if a dog has ever stabbed someone.

Speaker 4:
[23:14] Oh, absolutely.

Speaker 5:
[23:17] 100 percent.

Speaker 4:
[23:19] I would bet anything on that. Dogs are like they're police dogs.

Speaker 5:
[23:24] Dog stabs Colorado woman with knife. Denver nine years ago. Dogs. Oh, that's never mind. Not that one. A lot. It's a lot of dogs being stabbed. There's only one where dog the dog stabbed the lady in Colorado is the only one I'm seeing.

Speaker 4:
[23:42] Interesting. I just feel like it's a common thing.

Speaker 3:
[23:45] I don't know how Eric finds this unhinged pictures.

Speaker 6:
[23:49] The second one where the dog's in the mask holding the knife. I'm really into that.

Speaker 4:
[23:53] That's why I was just going to say this is just what Eric has in the reserves.

Speaker 6:
[23:56] He's just I'm just hanging on to these.

Speaker 5:
[23:58] He just went to his personal photo library. Yeah, there was no googling.

Speaker 3:
[24:02] That photo has like hanging holes.

Speaker 6:

Speaker 4:
[26:00] I have a question for Nick. I'm very I'm interested like this is I've been thinking about this a lot. I've been meaning to bring this up.

Speaker 5:
[26:07] Okay.

Speaker 4:
[26:07] You do a thing and you're essentially the only person who does it in this group and something that we all partake in.

Speaker 5:
[26:13] In fact, in fact, others.

Speaker 4:
[26:17] Sorry, and I'm curious if this is a stylistic choice or if this is an enthusiasm issue. We have a burger count, Chad, and people, when they have a burger, they will generally take a photo of said burger. But Nick does something unlike anyone else, where ninety five percent of Nick's burger photos have one bite taken out of them.

Speaker 6:
[26:43] He remembers after he takes a bite. A hundred percent.

Speaker 4:
[26:46] A hundred.

Speaker 6:
[26:46] There's no style here. He just went, oh, shit, I got to add that.

Speaker 5:
[26:50] Half of that is Nick seeing us taking photos at the table of our burger and going, oh, shit.

Speaker 6:
[26:56] Yeah.

Speaker 4:
[26:57] So that's the world I wanted to live in. I love the idea. You get so excited about the burger. You just got to get in there. You got to get that bite immediately. And the fact that ninety five percent of your photos are that is what made me think that it was not a stylistic decision that this is just you wanting to get in that burger real bad.

Speaker 6:
[27:14] Oh, it's style by accident, I think that counts, right?

Speaker 4:
[27:19] Oh, sure. I would argue it's a bad style.

Speaker 3:
[27:22] Have we talked about your seventy one and seventy two pictures? Like what was going on there?

Speaker 5:
[27:26] Oh, my God.

Speaker 4:
[27:27] I was just having fun. I was just having some fun with some burgers. I found the most interesting part of the burger and I focused in on I thought it was odd.

Speaker 5:
[27:34] Might have been the two least appetizing burger photos ever taken.

Speaker 3:
[27:39] Yeah, I think if I saw those pictures on a menu, I would switch off from burgers and get like a salad.

Speaker 4:
[27:46] Well, to be fair, you've had six burgers this year. Like, it's not like you're on burgers. I don't think that you've ever been on burgers.

Speaker 5:
[27:52] He's got you there. Yeah, that's the second one, man.

Speaker 3:
[27:54] And what's wrong with you? Why are you so close?

Speaker 4:
[27:59] The first one is that it's a weird looking bottom situation on that bun. That's a Wendy's burger. You don't typically see that on a Wendy's.

Speaker 3:
[28:06] Is that flour or is that the wrapper stuck to it?

Speaker 4:
[28:08] That's flour.

Speaker 3:
[28:10] OK.

Speaker 4:
[28:11] You don't typically see flour on a Wendy's burger like that. I was captivated by it.

Speaker 6:
[28:15] Andrew posted both of those pictures and Geoff immediately said, You make me feel like a good photographer. And then Gavin said the first one looks like an aunt POV under the burger.

Speaker 3:
[28:26] Like the last thing an aunt sees.

Speaker 6:
[28:28] Andrew defended himself by saying, I'm not the worst burger photographer here.

Speaker 4:
[28:33] Oh, yeah, that was a reference to Nick. What? But you're great.

Speaker 6:
[28:37] You just said they can love his burger shots. What are you talking about?

Speaker 4:
[28:41] I like the spirit of Nick's burger shots. I find it strangely disgusting to see a burger that you've been into.

Speaker 5:
[28:49] You can't see my teeth.

Speaker 4:
[28:51] No, but it's like your mouth print. It's the place where your teeth were shredded. The goodness of the bun and that like that's what made me notice it is the first time I went. Oh, that's kind of a disgusting photo of a burger. I think so.

Speaker 3:
[29:03] Mouth print.

Speaker 5:
[29:04] That's such a great cross section.

Speaker 3:
[29:07] I want police to take burglars' mouth print.

Speaker 4:
[29:10] The hamburglar's mouth print.

Speaker 3:
[29:13] Just the mouth print is funny to me.

Speaker 4:
[29:16] I like the idea of a CSI episode where like they rule out that it's the hamburger because of the mouth bite on the burger. Like they're getting people to bite into burgers to try to match up the thief.

Speaker 3:
[29:26] I wonder if Columbo ever solved a crime with a bite print or mouth print.

Speaker 6:
[29:30] Wow, that would be awesome.

Speaker 5:
[29:33] We should make a new spinoff called Columbite.

Speaker 6:
[29:36] Whoa, awesome. And then can we say that the original Columbo is dead in that canonically?

Speaker 5:
[29:42] Yeah, canonically dead.

Speaker 6:
[29:45] Just one more thing.

Speaker 5:
[29:46] Maybe we should call it Cholumbo.

Speaker 3:
[29:48] Just one more bite.

Speaker 5:
[29:50] Just one more bite.

Speaker 4:
[29:51] They could have just said he was playing with the Globetrotters. Why do we get to kill the dog?

Speaker 3:
[29:56] If it's set in present day, he's clearly died.

Speaker 5:
[29:58] I mean, the little boy from Air Bud 1 has got to be in his 50s now. He's close to retirement.

Speaker 4:
[30:06] We have very different philosophies on movies. Who've talked about this?

Speaker 3:
[30:09] If they made a Dunstan checks in, though, in 2025 and it had all the same humans in it, but Dunstan was still knocking about, wouldn't that be weird? No, I guess that could happen with the chips.

Speaker 5:
[30:18] They should. The next one they should do should be called Dunstan checks out. And it's about how he's dying. And the whole thing is about how he has to say goodbye to everybody that mattered to him.

Speaker 4:
[30:26] Bart Simpson has been a kid for 30 years.

Speaker 3:
[30:30] That's the Simpsons, though.

Speaker 4:
[30:32] Yeah, it sure is.

Speaker 6:
[30:33] That is Andrew. That's the Simpsons. Are there other things you want to name so Nick can name them to you also?

Speaker 5:
[30:40] You know what a very specific rule said? For some reason to me, it's more acceptable in cartoon than in live action. I don't know why.

Speaker 3:
[30:49] Yeah, because there was no real boy called Bart Simpson. It was just a yellow Scientologist.

Speaker 4:
[30:53] There was no real scenario in which Dunstan checks in occurred.

Speaker 3:
[30:58] But the chimp was real. It was a real chimp.

Speaker 4:
[31:00] But it's a fictional story set in a fictional place.

Speaker 3:
[31:04] But what I'm saying is if bloody Rupert ever came back with the kid and all that, Jason Alexander came back. Wouldn't you want the original chimp to be addressed if it was a different chimp?

Speaker 4:
[31:15] No, I just like just have a different person play the same role and just say it's that person. That's worse to me. That's fine.

Speaker 5:
[31:23] Why not just do a reboot of the franchise at that point and start from scratch?

Speaker 4:
[31:27] Because I don't want to see a reboot. I want to see new stories and then just say the other one died.

Speaker 6:
[31:32] It's fine.

Speaker 4:
[31:34] Every time my philosophy of movies is different than your guys.

Speaker 6:
[31:37] Every time they reboot something, the director of the new one should have to come out and say, we've killed all the old ones.

Speaker 5:
[31:43] Don't worry about those.

Speaker 4:
[31:45] These are the don't import any real life logic into the world of movies. I only accept what they establish is how the way works.

Speaker 3:
[31:53] Gravity.

Speaker 4:
[31:55] I will. Gravity is displayed. So like, yeah, that works.

Speaker 5:
[31:58] Do you think they set the stage for the dog to be immortal in the film?

Speaker 4:
[32:03] I just think it's a thing that didn't need to be addressed.

Speaker 3:
[32:06] Would you be happy with it in a flashback?

Speaker 4:
[32:08] If I look, I'd be fine with a flashback, but like still, just don't kill the dog.

Speaker 3:
[32:13] But the dog did die.

Speaker 1:
[32:15] But he gets hit by a car.

Speaker 6:
[32:17] I've been here to get shot.

Speaker 4:
[32:21] I mean, the bite mark does indicate that there was the mouth print. Yeah, I just it's unnecessary. And it's a thing where I feel like if you are. You don't want Marley and me to be Trojan Horst into your Air Bud movie.

Speaker 5:
[32:37] Like, this is a thing that feels like what's happening.

Speaker 4:
[32:41] That's absolutely what's happening.

Speaker 5:
[32:42] I don't think that's what's happening at all here.

Speaker 4:
[32:44] They killed the dog.

Speaker 3:
[32:45] I don't go into sequels, go and there's certain rules that shouldn't happen. Like, I'm ready for anything to be Trojan did. It's a new movie.

Speaker 4:
[32:54] I just think the rules are different when it comes to dogs and death. Which I know. Is an insane like this is a wildly different opinion than how I feel about chickens, but I don't want to see any dogs.

Speaker 5:
[33:09] I think if the if the creative thread, the creative leadership of the production is consistent from day one to today, then you have to accept that this is the greater vision of the creator.

Speaker 4:
[33:25] I don't have to accept shit. OK. I can respect that they have the right to make that choice, but I don't have to accept it.

Speaker 5:
[33:32] I can see it if it was on its like ninth production crew and it's been directed by seven different people and there's been no, you know, through line and it's just like a property getting sold from studio to studio. But it's trying to resurrect it. But it seems like this guy's maintained control over this entire time. This Air Bud is exactly where he wanted Air Bud to be.

Speaker 4:
[33:51] I think you and I agree, but just have a different philosophy on what accept means. Like I accept and think that he should have the ability to take that story and do whatever he wants with it. My not accepting is that I think it's a terrible decision and is completely in this disagree with the decision.

Speaker 3:
[34:07] Yes, you might watch the movie, though, and be like, you know what? That works now.

Speaker 5:
[34:11] He won't he won't be allowed to internally. No, he has to hate this film now.

Speaker 4:
[34:15] It can't be like, no, it's just structurally like the only when I looked at it, I thought the only way I would accept this as like a plot device that I would be so on board with if it was a movie about a kid who got his ass kicked by Air Bud as a child in a sporting event and is now trying to write a new Air Bud movie in which Air Bud is dead and they've had to bring in a different dog, like just a vengeful child that has never got over the fact that he lost his high school championship. That to me is funny.

Speaker 5:
[34:44] So there's no way in your head that this guy is going to create a story where Air Bud is dead that doesn't involve what you just described that you will like.

Speaker 4:
[34:53] No.

Speaker 5:
[34:55] So you're going into it with a preconceived notion that you cannot enjoy this film, so therefore you'll never be able to know how good it is.

Speaker 4:
[35:00] Well, you have a preconceived notion when it is a legacy property. There are certain expectations and rules that the universe itself sets.

Speaker 5:
[35:08] I don't know if the guy had entertained me this much this long, I'd probably give him the benefit of the doubt personally.

Speaker 4:
[35:13] I don't, but the thing is, is that like, I don't think he's been entertaining this long. I think 80% of the Air Bud universe is not good.

Speaker 5:
[35:22] Well, then why would you expect this one to be?

Speaker 4:
[35:24] It's not even that I'm expecting this to be good.

Speaker 5:
[35:27] It sounds like he's only battin 20%, so it's par for the course, I mean.

Speaker 4:
[35:31] My argument was that this plot device is completely unnecessary, and it's amusing to me that he thinks that these stories need to be grounded in some way, when that is not what any of this is about.

Speaker 3:
[35:43] But if he's been spewing whiffs for 30 years, why are you so invested in this new one?

Speaker 4:
[35:47] Because I care about Air Bud.

Speaker 5:
[35:49] Do you get this upset every movie?

Speaker 4:
[35:50] There hasn't been an Air Bud. There have been Air Buddies. There have been Russell Mania. There has been MVP. Now, if you really want it back into my heart, we'd get another MVP going. But I'll take an Air Bud. Sounds like you won't. I just think it's crazy. And I love, I like, despite my annoyance with it, I do genuinely love creators that I think just don't get it. And I'm cheering for that guy.

Speaker 3:
[36:13] When you mentioned chickens, I was for some reason starting to imagine you killing a chicken. And then I thought, I was wondering like how you would go about it. And I was wondering, does your long back, do you think, give you a stronger headbutt?

Speaker 4:
[36:28] I like separate. Let's let's separate these questions. No. Well, that's actually interesting. I've never headbutted anyone. I'm like headbutting right now a little bit.

Speaker 3:
[36:40] Because you've got your long back, you're along with your you're practicing.

Speaker 4:
[36:45] I'm like trying to determine if like the length of my back, you generate more torque, right? It's probably more in the hips, though, I think. Right.

Speaker 3:
[36:54] Well, maybe you pivot the hips. But you got the long back working as like a lot of leverage. And then you've got your big old head with your unbreakable nose in the front. And I was thinking maybe you're the best designed body for headbutting. And maybe you could take out a chicken in one go.

Speaker 4:
[37:10] Do you want me to do you want me to headbutt the mic and you can tell me?

Speaker 6:
[37:14] Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Speaker 4:
[37:16] I'm going to do two styles. You tell me which one's more powerful. OK. Style one. Oh, wait. Unplug my mic. Style one. What? What? What? Didn't unplug my mic. Unplug my headset. The headphones.

Speaker 3:
[37:28] OK, style one. Such a dull third. All right. Got that.

Speaker 4:
[37:37] Style two. Whoa, that was way too hard.

Speaker 3:
[37:42] That one sounded like it echoed.

Speaker 4:
[37:45] Yeah, that that hit my switch, knocked my switch dock over. Do you like what? Flying off the arm.

Speaker 5:
[37:52] Do you want to verify real fast that you are still recording? Because I know when I just got disconnected my headphones, it stops my recording.

Speaker 4:
[37:58] No, it's fine. Yeah, it's still OK.

Speaker 5:
[37:59] Just making sure you're still good.

Speaker 4:
[38:02] All good. Anyway, yeah, I wouldn't headbutt.

Speaker 5:
[38:06] OK, you could be the real life Kool-Aid man.

Speaker 4:
[38:10] I could be.

Speaker 5:
[38:11] You could just bust through shit.

Speaker 4:
[38:13] I have a question about things dying.

Speaker 5:
[38:15] I really do.

Speaker 4:
[38:18] But this is like I think this is a fun one. Oh, yeah. Let's all live in a world. Let's all let's all pretend. And I'll agree that ghosts are real. Let's just say ghosts are there.

Speaker 5:
[38:29] I already live in that world.

Speaker 4:
[38:30] Ghosts are a thing. I know. I'm just saying we're all unified in this.

Speaker 5:
[38:32] Gavin and I are professionals. We I feel like we proved beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Speaker 4:
[38:37] Thanks. If a house had a ghostly presence in it, what would you call it?

Speaker 3:
[38:44] Haunted.

Speaker 4:
[38:46] How do you describe that house, Gavin?

Speaker 3:
[38:50] Yeah, haunted.

Speaker 4:
[38:51] You just say it's haunted.

Speaker 5:
[38:54] I lived in a haunted house. It was very haunted.

Speaker 4:
[38:57] Yeah, that's how you would say it. You would use haunted house.

Speaker 3:
[39:01] What would you use?

Speaker 1:
[39:02] Yeah, how would you describe it?

Speaker 4:
[39:03] I would only I think I would never use the term haunted house is what I realized.

Speaker 6:
[39:09] What would you say?

Speaker 4:
[39:11] I'd say the house is haunted. I'd go house first.

Speaker 3:
[39:14] I was not expecting you to just switch the words around.

Speaker 6:
[39:18] It's like I mean, really, it's very different, dude.

Speaker 5:
[39:22] Just OK, so we're doing.

Speaker 3:
[39:25] Oh, that really, really surprised me.

Speaker 4:
[39:27] To me, it's a very different thing.

Speaker 3:
[39:31] What is one like a fairground, right? And one is a house that you live in?

Speaker 4:
[39:34] Yes, yes. OK, when I hear haunted house, I think of like third grade and us having like a haunted house school thing or like a dude in a screen mask popping out at you at a fair like I don't know, to describe a real home that is haunted as a haunted house to me feels very Disney ish. Like, I feel like it lowers the stakes of the scenario. I was just I was taken aback by it because I when I can't sleep, one of my rotational things I'll do, I'll listen to to fall sleep is I'll listen to Key West, the radio and from like at least midnight until 2 a.m. Pacific, there is like conspiracy radio playing. And it's just I want to listen to some like crazy shit and it cycles and it was the topic was somebody who like wrote a book about crystals and the host. I love him because he asks like the most insane questions in the most calm way. And the question was like, so can crystals stop prevent a house that's haunted? Can it deal with a haunted house scenario? And it was comedic to me just to like phrase haunted house in like a serious tone.

Speaker 5:
[40:50] Are you listening to Coast to Coast?

Speaker 4:
[40:52] I think so.

Speaker 6:
[40:52] Yeah, it's this is some Art Bell. What are you doing?

Speaker 5:
[40:55] Yeah, you're the art. I don't think Art Bell does anymore, does he?

Speaker 4:
[40:58] But yeah, I have no idea.

Speaker 5:
[41:00] Oh, I suppose I used to listen to that show a lot in high school, a lot.

Speaker 4:
[41:05] It's an old man asking questions like, so would. So would this crystal deal with Dracula? In a way that is like they expect an actual answer.

Speaker 6:
[41:15] That's a great question. You've got to get the practical applications down. What if there's a Dracula problem?

Speaker 4:
[41:20] It could be.

Speaker 3:
[41:21] So when you were asking what we would call it and I just said haunted without house in either position, did that just completely throw you?

Speaker 4:
[41:30] No, in my head, I kind of, to be honest, interpreted that as you agree with me. Otherwise, you would have just called it a haunted house.

Speaker 6:
[41:39] But he's OK. OK, hang on. You interpreted OK, hang on.

Speaker 4:
[41:47] Because you just leave that you left the house part out. If you were going to have the house part be before, you would have said it.

Speaker 3:
[41:55] But that's because you said, how would you describe the house?

Speaker 4:
[41:58] Yeah, but if someone's like, what's haunted, you'd say the house.

Speaker 5:
[42:01] Yeah, I also like that he's listening to a radio program where somebody's talking about fighting vampires with crystals. And he gets hung up on House Haunted versus Haunted House.

Speaker 6:
[42:12] Vic decides to get pedantic about it. That's awesome.

Speaker 4:
[42:15] No, it's just like tonally because it is ridiculous. Like it means the same thing. But to me, like it's representative of two completely different things. It just felt it hit different. And I realized that like it is a ridiculous thing, but it really does make a difference in my brain of the scenario. Like when they said haunted house, it never occurred to me that they would just mean or at least it initially didn't occur to me that they would mean a serious situation in which a home has a ghost in it that is haunting people.

Speaker 3:
[42:44] So if I went out and I said, wow, that market is super, would that really throw you?

Speaker 4:
[42:49] No, I just think you thought it was cool. I guess I'd be confused if you're saying it was a super market. I would just interpret that as like, this is what you're describing.

Speaker 6:
[43:00] This is what you're describing. It is incredible.

Speaker 4:
[43:05] I would never connect that you were just calling it a supermarket if you did that.

Speaker 3:
[43:10] Yeah, I can see that.

Speaker 4:
[43:12] I just accept it as is.

Speaker 3:
[43:14] I had something happen. You know, probably was it a week ago? I overslept and I missed the rescheduled Mario Party March turn that I.

Speaker 5:
[43:25] Oh, yeah, I feel like that happened so long ago. We've all forgotten about it.

Speaker 4:
[43:28] I completely forgot.

Speaker 3:
[43:29] Got some good tips from the audience. Apparently, a lot of people having that problem. And they said you can turn off some features, like turn off the attention aware features, make sure the ring is set loud and all that. I slept through my alarm again.

Speaker 6:
[43:44] What? Did you use the audience tips to fix this stuff or no?

Speaker 3:
[43:48] I did.

Speaker 4:
[43:49] And it made it worse.

Speaker 3:
[43:51] It was on Monday. And thankfully, nobody noticed. But I totally slept through my 10 o'clock alarm. I woke up a little bit later. And I was trying to figure out what happened. I looked at my phone and I saw this, right? Pretty normal, set my alarm for 10. But as you can see, one of my little widgets there on my phone is that it's the time in London. And you may notice that the time in London was 4.15.

Speaker 6:
[44:22] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[44:23] So it was actually 10.15 when I was taking this picture. Look, that's what I woke up.

Speaker 6:
[44:28] What the?

Speaker 3:
[44:29] My phone just froze time. No way! Everything else on the phone kept running, but the alarm like crashed the time of the phone.

Speaker 6:
[44:37] That's what?

Speaker 3:
[44:38] And it was actually 10.15. I was like, what has happened now?

Speaker 5:
[44:42] Dude, I have a recommendation for you that's going to blow your mind. It's in the chat right now.

Speaker 6:
[44:47] Yeah, I'm with Geoff.

Speaker 3:
[44:49] You know what?

Speaker 5:
[44:50] A wood paneled digital alarm clock from 1992 will never steer you wrong.

Speaker 6:
[44:57] With battery backup.

Speaker 3:
[44:58] My parents had one that had like a capacitive snooze button. It was so cool.

Speaker 6:
[45:03] And I still have my like I sleep so much better when I can roll over, see what time it is immediately and go back to bed.

Speaker 3:
[45:10] Oh, I have another clock in the bedroom. That was what I was looking at that said 10.15. And I was like, wait, is that the date? Wait, I was like, no, that's what's going on. And I was just really good.

Speaker 6:
[45:20] It's October.

Speaker 3:
[45:21] Yeah. What's happened here?

Speaker 4:
[45:23] I don't think I'm an X man. But if I was, my ability would be just having a good sense of time. I have a really high batting ratio of not knowing the time, but being able to guess how much time has passed.

Speaker 3:
[45:37] How much time has passed on this recording?

Speaker 4:
[45:39] I just looked at the recording a minute ago. I asked about the it's stopping, so OK.

Speaker 5:
[45:48] So we should cheat.

Speaker 4:
[45:50] Yeah, I got to I got to I got to keep things honest.

Speaker 5:
[45:52] That's an integrity move right there.

Speaker 4:
[45:54] Yeah, it is a thing that like I feel very confident about my time. I don't feel confident at all about temperature gauging.

Speaker 5:
[46:01] Do you go to bed now? Extra scared every night, Gavin?

Speaker 6:
[46:05] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[46:07] And I think I'm going to have to start using the alarm on my table clock. Yeah, it's just so it's just so loud and it will definitely wake Meg up.

Speaker 6:
[46:16] Oh, yes. And she'll bring your neck. So I don't know what you want to do there, but you can try.

Speaker 5:
[46:21] I wake up every morning from Emily's alarm. I don't I have one set, but it goes off like five minutes after hers, just in case hers doesn't get me up.

Speaker 3:
[46:30] So I want to maybe start like a drip alarm, like just hang a little tank above my head and it just drops like three drips of water on my face to wake me up. Completely silent. Well, if it keeps going and I'm chained to the bed probably, but I think just just as a wake up, it would be like, OK, I'm up. I'm awake.

Speaker 4:
[46:48] I was wondering if they made novelty alarm clocks in the same way that they like make novelty phones. Let me share the first thing I found when I went into this. Gavin, this this could change your wake up dramatically. It is an alarm clock that has a giant shooting target on the top of it and a gun to shoot it off. You have to shoot the target to stop the alarm.

Speaker 3:
[47:18] We've got to get it.

Speaker 4:
[47:22] The craziest move to sleep with what looks like just a real gun to shoot at your alarm.

Speaker 6:
[47:31] What the?

Speaker 5:
[47:33] I want one of those for the office that just goes off at odd times and you have to shoot it to stop before a certain amount of time to get punished.

Speaker 6:
[47:40] Look at the look at the image I just sent of the alarm setting alarm clock. A guy dressed like a military man holding a gun, protecting a baby from the alarm clock, I guess.

Speaker 3:
[47:54] So it's like a home invasion prepper clock.

Speaker 6:
[47:56] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[47:56] Yeah. You want to be ready.

Speaker 6:
[47:58] Yep. You can wake up and you can bullseye every time. Bang. No problem.

Speaker 5:
[48:03] I like that.

Speaker 3:
[48:04] I love the idea of an immediate quick draw the second you wake up.

Speaker 4:
[48:08] Yeah, it should have like a stop, like a timer that starts at the same time so you can see what your fastest wake up is or maybe in three seconds, the clock pulls a gun.

Speaker 5:
[48:18] That's awesome.

Speaker 6:
[48:21] That's great.

Speaker 3:
[48:22] And it just lets you know whether you died every morning.

Speaker 6:
[48:25] Andrew said that his superpower would be the time thing, but he would not be able to do temperature. Do you guys have stuff like that? Do you have things that you absolutely cannot like for the life of you? You can't get it right. You can't do it right.

Speaker 5:
[48:38] Yeah.

Speaker 6:
[48:39] Do you have that stuff?

Speaker 5:
[48:40] Fucking Roman numerals, dude. It's been the plague of my entire life.

Speaker 6:
[48:43] Is that right? Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[48:45] I'm Roman numeral blind. It's a long... If I happened in the third grade, I got moved up to one week. They decided they were going to move me up to advanced math. And so they moved me up to advanced math on a Monday. By Friday, they were like, this has been a grievous error. You are going back to normal math next Monday. You do not belong here. Unfortunately, the week that I was in advanced math, struggling mightily, normal math got Roman numerals. And when I came back, it had already happened. And I have been, I've seen them reference to my entire life. There was a period of time in my early 20s when I kept a laminated card in my wallet of Roman numerals, just so I could look at it and not feel stupid. Wow.

Speaker 3:
[49:23] So do you only know like clock times and Super Bowls?

Speaker 5:
[49:26] I don't know Super Bowls.

Speaker 6:
[49:28] I know clock times. He knows like Rocky movies and that's about it.

Speaker 5:
[49:30] I'm good on like one to 12, I think.

Speaker 3:
[49:32] That's about it. Interesting.

Speaker 6:
[49:35] That's wow. Gavin, do you have anything like that? You have stuff that you absolutely can't do?

Speaker 3:
[49:40] East and West.

Speaker 6:
[49:42] Oh, is that right?

Speaker 3:
[49:45] Yeah, just like in my head, for some reason, West should be to the right and I have to always like double check.

Speaker 5:
[49:52] West is to the left to me.

Speaker 3:
[49:54] Yeah, well, that's because it is to the left.

Speaker 5:
[49:57] Do you think, do you, when you stand, do you envision what you're facing as North at all times? What do you think about that way?

Speaker 3:
[50:05] I know that I'm not the the world's North. But a lot of the time, it's like, you know, go, go West. And I'm in my head, I'm like, right now, no, it's left.

Speaker 6:
[50:18] If I'm going North, damn, damn, wow.

Speaker 4:
[50:21] I just I want to go back to alarm clocks very quickly because I found a Scarface talking alarm. And I just want to read the side of the box for the Scarface talking alarm. Wake up to the actual soundtrack of Scarface, the clock doors swing open, revealing Tony Montana clutching his machine gun. He screams, say hello to my little friend and unloads round after round into rival gangsters. If you're in the middle of a dream about money, power and women, the automatic snooze function lets you finish what you started. When it's time to go to sleep, press a button to hear Tony say, say good night to the bad guy. Great products out there. Some real innovators.

Speaker 3:
[51:03] And talking like it's easy just to hop back into the original dream.

Speaker 4:
[51:07] Oh, it's so hard. Well, hard is an on ramp difficult to get on.

Speaker 5:
[51:13] I wonder if we're about to become an alarm clock podcast.

Speaker 6:
[51:17] It feels like we're verging into it, doesn't it?

Speaker 5:
[51:19] Yeah, it does.

Speaker 3:
[51:20] Let's do some reviews. We'll buy four or five and we'll each use one. Present our findings.

Speaker 5:
[51:26] OK, I like that idea.

Speaker 3:
[51:28] What if we all have to pick an alarm clock for someone else? It's like Secret Santa alarm clock.

Speaker 6:
[51:33] Oh, that's fun.

Speaker 3:
[51:35] That's interesting.

Speaker 6:
[51:35] I like that. I'm going to put it in the idea. I'm going to put it in the idea bank, so we don't leave Secret Santa alarm clock. But hopefully we remember what that means later.

Speaker 4:
[51:45] There is a claw machine alarm clock, which I would just be so pissed to have to deal with.

Speaker 3:
[51:50] Do you have to like pick up the snooze?

Speaker 4:
[51:52] Yeah, you have to like scoop up the ball and have it drop in the hole, I think, to stop the alarm. I'd be so infuriated. It's the last thing you want to deal with when you first wake up.

Speaker 5:
[52:04] It would be smashed so fucking fast.

Speaker 6:
[52:09] I really like, I'm finding ones too called, this is the gorilla alarm clock. It shakes and dances.

Speaker 5:
[52:15] I remember that!

Speaker 6:
[52:15] To the next swing of the alarm sounds.

Speaker 5:
[52:17] I've seen that before!

Speaker 6:
[52:18] What I really like is that it's also a blurry photo. So maybe he's just going off in the box.

Speaker 4:
[52:28] For those of us listening, imagine Funky Kong on top of the alarm clock.

Speaker 3:
[52:32] You're shaking. That's about right.

Speaker 4:
[52:36] Oh, that's good.

Speaker 5:
[52:37] Can I admit something I think is embarrassing to you guys? I think I should be embarrassed about it. I can't sign a fireman out. Over the weekend, I mentioned I watched a billion movies. One of the movies I watched was I saw Police Story, the old Jackie Chan film was playing at the Alamo. So I went and thought that'd be a fun thing to treat myself to. I went and watched Police Story in the Alamo. It was great. But the previews before the film, they showed a preview for the new He-Man and the Masters of the Universe movie.

Speaker 6:
[53:05] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[53:06] And I was like, oh my God. As soon as I started, as soon as it came on, I realized what it was. And by the end of the trailer, I realized I think I want to see that movie. I think I liked the trailer.

Speaker 6:
[53:16] Wow.

Speaker 5:
[53:18] I think I'm into it. I think I should be really embarrassed about it. But I think it was awesome. And I really kind of want to see the movie now.

Speaker 4:
[53:27] If it was going to appeal to anyone, though, it should be you.

Speaker 6:
[53:30] Like, yes, 100 percent. Yeah, you are the target demographic.

Speaker 4:
[53:32] I look at it and go like, I don't know. Like, this does nothing for me, but it should do something for you. I guess, yeah.

Speaker 5:
[53:39] I mean, it is my childhood he-man.

Speaker 4:
[53:40] Yeah, like I think that's related to you.

Speaker 5:
[53:42] Like, I really, I really, I really was like, oh, Christ, this shit again. But motherfuckers won me over in two minutes.

Speaker 3:
[53:52] What's his power, he-man?

Speaker 4:
[53:54] Strong.

Speaker 5:
[53:55] He's strong. You know what they did that's cool? They, they, it's, they had the lion and the MGM logo, you know, the rawr. They, they replaced it with Cringer, or Battle Cat, I guess, probably. But yeah, and so he did the rawr. That, I allow, was pretty cool.

Speaker 6:
[54:09] Yeah, that is for you then. Then, yeah, with the last sentence you just said, a hundred percent, yeah. I think with that sentence, we understand what you were talking about.

Speaker 5:
[54:17] Come on, Cringer and Battle Cat's the fucking coolest.

Speaker 4:
[54:21] We're going to record the Summer Movie League soon. And I have a concept for it to make it a little bit more interesting this year to spice things up. I'm going to throw this idea out there. And if you guys want, you can add to it, because I guess we're recording tomorrow in real time and it'll come out later. But I wanted to Mario party it a little bit. And at the end of the season, we spin a wheel and there are all these like different trackable things. And if the movie, a movie you own applies to that trackable thing, you can either add 50 million or subtract 50 million from somebody else's score.

Speaker 3:
[54:59] What kind of thing like most dead dogs?

Speaker 4:
[55:02] Yeah, no, that's not on my list. I'll go through the modifiers I've written. And guys, feel free to pitch any ones you would like added. Lowest Metacritic score, lowest box office earned, most movies delayed, most movies seen, meaning out of all of us, whoever like if that one lands, whoever saw the most summer movies would then get it. Most movie theater popcorn eaten outside of a movie theater. OK, the TBG movie of the summer. Oh, regulation movie of the summer. And then I had Emily's Choice, which would be during the break show, like Emily writes a single movie into a piece of on a piece of paper and then puts it in an envelope and it doesn't get open until the end. It could be any of that.

Speaker 3:
[55:45] I like that. And wait, so someone and then what? You get to take 50 million off.

Speaker 4:
[55:52] So like in Mario Party, how they do the bonus stars and you have all these random, well, not random, but it's like this huge list of preset criteria that it could be. The game randomly selects three. So I figure we put them all in a wheel. We spin the wheel, whatever it lands on, whatever movie it correlates to, let's say it is most movie seen and that went to Gavin. You would then have the choice to either add 50 million to your score or subtract 50 million from anybody else.

Speaker 3:
[56:17] Oh, like a curse dice.

Speaker 4:
[56:19] Like a curse dice.

Speaker 5:
[56:21] Well, I like this idea. I like anything that we can do to plus it up and did to, because I think we always start strong with this thing. And then we don't necessarily follow through with our enthusiasm until the end. And so anything we can do to increase that. Also, I also feel like maybe some benefit should carry over from year to year for winning. Like you get an extra 10 bucks to spend or something.

Speaker 3:
[56:45] Or even one.

Speaker 5:
[56:46] Yeah, like one dollar more.

Speaker 3:
[56:48] Like if you want all three bonus stars, you could start with 103 next year.

Speaker 4:
[56:52] Yeah, we could definitely either like bring that into this. So Gavin would have some form of an advantage or. Whatever.

Speaker 5:
[56:58] Well, clearly start. It starts from this point on. OK, grandfather Gavin's benefit.

Speaker 3:
[57:03] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[57:03] And fuck that.

Speaker 3:
[57:04] I didn't win anything.

Speaker 5:
[57:05] I don't think anybody's saying that.

Speaker 1:
[57:06] Yeah.

Speaker 3:
[57:07] Horizon didn't come out again.

Speaker 4:
[57:10] I'm just really excited to. Well, maybe it will. It'll be on the board. We'll see. We'll see if somebody gets it.

Speaker 5:
[57:16] I like it. I like the idea, Andrew.

Speaker 4:
[57:18] I'm just excited about the idea of reaching out to TPG at the end of the summer being like, what was the movie? And I think I know what it's going to be, but I just I'm excited to. You never know what TPG you street.

Speaker 3:
[57:27] You never know.

Speaker 4:
[57:28] You never know.

Speaker 3:
[57:29] Can I ask? I just want to ask a little serious question because you talked about the wheel. I want to pose a very serious question to the group. Should we buy half a car?

Speaker 5:
[57:42] That's not what I thought you're going to say.

Speaker 4:
[57:44] That's also not what he's going to say.

Speaker 5:
[57:47] Should we buy a physical wheel? Half a car.

Speaker 3:
[57:51] Like, should we just have half a car parked at the office and then it just someone gets it?

Speaker 4:
[57:56] I think we have to start small if we're even considering this and go with half a wheel. I think we got to get half a wheel first.

Speaker 3:
[58:04] Half a wheel?

Speaker 4:
[58:05] You say it like it's any less absurd than half a car.

Speaker 5:
[58:09] Well, half a wheel is not on the wheel. At least half a car is on the wheel.

Speaker 3:
[58:13] Yeah, so I said half a...

Speaker 5:
[58:15] Now, when you envision half a car, Gavin, how do you see the car cut?

Speaker 3:
[58:20] It's going to be, in my head, cut...

Speaker 5:
[58:25] Long ways, sideways or up down. Okay.

Speaker 6:
[58:28] Hamburger style or hot dog style?

Speaker 3:
[58:30] You'd have the front tires, the front seats, and it would just be like slumped back on the back of the front seats. Yeah, yeah. And then the back of the car, you'd be leaning forwards in the back seats.

Speaker 4:
[58:40] I think it needs to be an escalation and a punishment where it's a thing that can occur. And each time it happens to you, it gets worse. So maybe like the first time someone gets half a car, they get half a hot wheel cut in half. Oh, now this... And then every time, if you get lucky, unlucky like 10 times in a row, you then end up with a full on half a vehicle.

Speaker 3:
[59:04] OK, and then it just gets delivered to your house.

Speaker 4:
[59:06] I think so.

Speaker 3:
[59:09] OK, I think that's doable.

Speaker 4:
[59:11] Yeah, you could probably.

Speaker 6:
[59:13] Well, everyone sounds super into it.

Speaker 4:
[59:16] It's just the like the logistics of it. It's also Gavin is not going to end up with this half car, which is the problem. What? Because that's not how these things work. Yeah, because you create the massive annoyance and it doesn't end up impacting you 99% of the time.

Speaker 3:
[59:34] I introduced the wheel of dog shit or whatever, and you immediately made me play limbo.

Speaker 4:
[59:38] That's what I said 99% of the time. Limbo, that's what made that so great, was that it actually blew up in your face.

Speaker 3:
[59:46] You blew it up in my face.

Speaker 4:
[59:47] Instantly. And that never happens.

Speaker 3:
[59:52] You know, it's a risk I think we got to take. It could be my half car. I mean, I was going to say it would be my first car, but that's technically not true. Yeah, my first car hit Geoff.

Speaker 5:
[60:05] I fell into it early. Well, that's actually your second car. That's the upgrade. That's true. Because we traded in your old car.

Speaker 3:
[60:12] Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[60:14] Which, by the way, we won't be doing it again anytime soon because fuck buying a car in 2026.

Speaker 3:
[60:19] Pretty pricey. God damn, dude.

Speaker 5:
[60:22] How much in your head? How much should I? I'm just going to throw a truck out. How much should a Chevy Blazer cost?

Speaker 3:
[60:31] I don't have a license. I don't know about cars.

Speaker 5:
[60:34] Everything is like one hundred and twenty grand now. Oh, my God. That's insane. That's a fucking house. I know. Like I wanted to buy the we test drove that suburban test drove. We drove that suburban to Deputy Indiana back last year. The reason I got it was because I was considering getting a Chevy Chevy because Emily wants a three row SUV. Those things are like 90 to 100 grand for fucking Chevy anything. It's like in my head, a suburban should cost $42,000. And I realize I'm old. But goddamn, dude, what is going on?

Speaker 3:
[61:06] What are they on the second hand market?

Speaker 5:
[61:08] Not much better. Anyway, so I'm holding on to my car for the I'm sorry. I'm holding on to your car for the rest of my life until the wheels fall off. Which if I bump into it too many more times, I guess will happen.

Speaker 4:
[61:21] Before we wrap up, I have one last thing I want to share. Of things have been very chaotic recently at the living hotel for a while. Just a lot of different like stresses and whatnot. I was sitting at home finally, you know, like got back from the hotel, was watching stuff on YouTube, got an ad that reminded me that it's tax season. April 15th, the deadline caused a massive panic of like, oh shit, I got an organ like, oh man, I got it. I thought it was at the end of the month. Oh boy, I got a good organ. I got to do all this stuff. Scrambled, got everything kind of put together, getting help with like, tax stuff, so sent it to that person. They're like, okay, we'll get to it, you know, soon hopefully. I'm like, well, it's fucking 15th, we gotta hurry. It's crazy. Two nights later, like two or three nights after I organized everything, sent it off, watching YouTube, and I get an ad for the Austin YMCA, and it dawns on me that my initial thought was correct, that the Canadian tax deadline is April 30th. What had happened is I had the VPN on that we used for work that makes it think that I'm based out of Austin, and I received a TurboTax ad for the US tax deadline and just went into full panic mode thinking that was my deadline. So I am extra prepared this year. I'm getting in early. It was a deception of actual great value.

Speaker 5:
[62:52] I mean, what a beneficial self-deception. That's great.

Speaker 4:
[62:54] Yeah, it's fantastic. I just I can't believe like if if I wouldn't have got that YMCA ad, it never would have occurred to me that I was two weeks early for when I had to submit stuff.

Speaker 5:
[63:05] This is why ads work.

Speaker 4:
[63:07] This is why ads.

Speaker 5:
[63:10] Did you guys see that before we wrap up? Did you know that shoe company Allbirds, did you see the news yesterday that they have decided to refocus and no longer be a shoe company? They're going to be an AI company. How do you go for being a shoe company to an AI company?

Speaker 4:
[63:30] I don't know.

Speaker 6:
[63:30] Let's find out. Let's do it with this.

Speaker 5:
[63:32] Let's stop doing this and start doing their stock went up like fucking one hundred and eighty percent because of it, too. It's fucking crazy.

Speaker 4:
[63:37] Sort of like making warm childhood films and then deciding you're going to kill the character off in it. That's a fictional world.

Speaker 5:
[63:46] Well, apparently, that works because their stock closed up five hundred and eighty two percent after they did it. Fucking ridiculous.

Speaker 3:
[63:52] Yeah, I don't think it's like killing a dog. It's like it's like turning Air Bud into a restaurant.

Speaker 5:
[63:57] Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 4:
[63:58] It'd be more like that than what they did.

Speaker 5:
[64:02] So weird fucking world we're living in.

Speaker 3:
[64:04] And it makes no sense. People just people just say stuff like put in a blockchain AI and then it's just like, yeah, it's all you have to do.

Speaker 6:
[64:12] You just have to say, you don't have to mean it or have anything for it. You just have to say it. It's all a Ponzi scheme.

Speaker 5:
[64:17] You're not invested in shoes.

Speaker 3:
[64:18] You're invested in something that someone said about the name of a company.

Speaker 5:
[64:23] Apparently, our passion for high quality, inexpensive shoes was a lie. What we really care about is renting out AI equipment and servers to other companies or some shit.

Speaker 6:
[64:33] How do we get in on a I want to do a rug pull? How do we rub someone? I don't know how I got snapped up by rat traps today. How do I rug pull someone?

Speaker 3:
[64:42] I think we should just start rug pull coin.

Speaker 6:
[64:44] Oh, we got to do like a coin? We make coins. Nobody's buying them.

Speaker 3:
[64:51] I have a follow up from last week.

Speaker 5:
[64:52] I don't have anything to do with any of that.

Speaker 6:
[64:56] So we have to keep doing this?

Speaker 5:
[64:57] We got to do this. This is all we're good at.

Speaker 6:
[64:59] All right. I mean, I guess that's fine.

Speaker 5:
[65:01] I would say we're good at it. This is all we're acceptable at.

Speaker 3:
[65:06] My follow up from last week, because we're talking about million dollar beds. And I was thinking like, what, you know, people who are really to sleep are called. That's not what Somnophile means.

Speaker 5:
[65:19] Nope, nope.

Speaker 3:
[65:21] Some people in the audience have let me know that is not what that is.

Speaker 5:
[65:25] I think we all learned a lesson. I wasn't aware of what that meant either until I read the comments. Whoops.

Speaker 3:
[65:34] It's an educational podcast.

Speaker 4:
[65:36] Crypto. Air Bud got into Crypto. They did a whole NFT thing. Air Bud did an NFT thing. They tried NFT for kids.

Speaker 6:
[65:44] That's why he died?

Speaker 1:
[65:46] Yeah, his heart gave out.

Speaker 4:
[65:47] Just trying stuff over there. The only company I'm aware of that was like openly like NFT for kids. Let's do it.

Speaker 5:
[65:57] Well, I guess that's probably it.

Speaker 6:
[65:59] Nope.

Speaker 5:
[66:00] No. You don't want me to end it?

Speaker 1:
[66:03] Oh, what's that?

Speaker 6:
[66:05] What's that?

Speaker 4:
[66:06] What is that?

Speaker 5:
[66:08] What do you have?

Speaker 6:
[66:08] What's that?

Speaker 4:
[66:10] What's that?

Speaker 5:
[66:12] Tell you guys a funny story.

Speaker 6:
[66:13] What's that, Geoff?

Speaker 5:
[66:15] I'm going to tell you a funny story, Eric.

Speaker 6:
[66:17] What is it, Jack?

Speaker 5:
[66:18] It's a black t-shirt that says never learn in white letters on it. And yes, it's for sale in our store.

Speaker 6:
[66:25] Why?

Speaker 5:
[66:27] Because I'm funny. But also it's impossible to plant anything in this company. Here's what happened. Gavin and I filmed Portal 4. In Portal 4, we were joking around about the shirt in Portal 3. And we talked about how we never learn. And then one of us said, you know what, never learn is actually a funnier shirt than the other one. And I was like, maybe we should make it. And Gavin's like, I think we did that joke into the ground. I don't think we need to do it again. And I thought, absolutely, you're right. The only way to make this funny is to do it against you now and have me be the only one on the joke. So then as soon as we were done filming, I went to and I submitted to El Fomoso, the Never Learn shirt.

Speaker 6:
[67:13] You're nuts. I already was the same person.

Speaker 5:
[67:16] I put it into production and I timed it up so that the day before the the Portal 4 video came out, the shirt would quietly hit the store just like last time. I set this up on April 4th. However, I realized yesterday, too late to do anything. Well, too late to care enough to do anything about it. I realized somehow that Portal video never came out. It got rescheduled for EtherGolf. And so I don't know when Portal 4 is coming out.

Speaker 6:
[67:46] You suck.

Speaker 4:
[67:47] It's on the calendar.

Speaker 6:
[67:48] Portal 4, Portal 4 comes out. Hey, if you're listening to this on the day it comes out. The shirts on sale now, the video comes out tomorrow. So lock in.

Speaker 5:
[67:59] Here's me. Here's me on Monday, April 6, texting Andrew. Has the final Portal video been edited or put on the calendar yet? No reason. Andrew said yes to both April 16th. And I said, OK, thank you. And so that's when I scheduled it for.

Speaker 3:
[68:20] So but you were surely in the meeting when we moved it.

Speaker 4:
[68:26] Yeah, I was scheduled for that day. And then you guys were having so much fun with roadside research and you wanted to do like a roadside research week. It got pushed for that.

Speaker 5:
[68:34] Dude, also, I did this fucking so long ago and then forgot about it. I set it up. I prepared it. I locked it away. It was good. And then I forgot. But then I moved on mentally. It probably just didn't pop into my head. Or I might have been not listening because I was sick or I don't know. Who knows? There's a lot going on. Lots going on. Absolutely.

Speaker 3:
[68:51] You could have been mid replying to the email about this show while we were moving the video.

Speaker 5:
[68:56] Entirely possible that happened, too.

Speaker 3:
[68:58] Yeah, I had no idea.

Speaker 5:
[69:00] I know that was the point.

Speaker 3:
[69:01] Yeah, that's great.

Speaker 5:
[69:02] But nobody had any idea because the video doesn't exist yet. When does it come out?

Speaker 6:
[69:06] Comes out if you're listening to this the day.

Speaker 3:
[69:09] Yep.

Speaker 6:
[69:10] The day you're listening to this, it comes out tomorrow.

Speaker 3:
[69:13] Has anyone bought one yet?

Speaker 6:
[69:15] Oh, can you look real quick?

Speaker 5:
[69:17] Yeah.

Speaker 6:
[69:18] Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 5:
[69:19] I'm looking.

Speaker 3:
[69:20] Hold on.

Speaker 5:
[69:20] Give me a second.

Speaker 3:
[69:21] I feel like I believe the I believe the opposite of the shirt, but I still want this shirt.

Speaker 5:
[69:27] I also feel like that launching a never learn shirt where the launch gets fucked up based off the previous don't learn shirt where the launch got fucked up is kind of thematically perfect.

Speaker 4:
[69:40] I did appreciate, Geoff, that when you reached out and you asked me if it has been scheduled yet, I interpreted it as you had a scheme going, but that you wouldn't want to have to reschedule the video again for this game after you had already done it before.

Speaker 5:
[69:52] A hundred percent.

Speaker 4:
[69:53] I appreciated that you're like, OK, I have a framework for a thing, but I can't get them to change the video schedule again, even though it did end up getting changed after that interaction.

Speaker 5:
[70:02] Yes, it did.

Speaker 3:
[70:03] I guess when Geoff and I make a video, it's the easiest to move to video, the easiest to bump.

Speaker 4:
[70:08] Let's just I think it was more of a reflection of how much you guys are enjoying roadside research.

Speaker 5:
[70:13] Yeah, we definitely are enjoying it. All right. Sorry, I'm getting this answer for you. It just takes me a second. OK, we've sold. One. We sold.

Speaker 4:
[70:24] Hell, yeah.

Speaker 5:
[70:25] There you go.

Speaker 4:
[70:26] I will say I do like it. I do like the shirt.

Speaker 6:
[70:28] Well. Excellent.

Speaker 4:
[70:31] Sold one.

Speaker 6:
[70:35] Well, thanks for listening to this podcast. Check out that video that comes out tomorrow.

Speaker 5:
[70:43] On that note, let's fucking let's end this. This has been Episode 102 of the Regulation Podcast. If you enjoyed it, tell a friend and obviously come back here next Wednesday where we'll all be here or everybody but me will be here.
