[0:00:42] Geoff: Welcome to another episode of the F**kface Podcast. It's the 120th time these idiots have talked. My name is Geoff Ramsey. With me as always, Gavin Free, Andrew Panton. First off, I'm just going to get it out of the way right now. Fuck my life and fuck my body. How are you guys doing? Mine too, dude.
[0:01:12] Andrew: Oh, gee. How am I the most healthy one of the three? This has never happened. This is a rare event. Are you at 100% right now?
[0:01:19] Geoff: Yeah, I feel pretty good. How's your ankle? 100%. Still 100%. Fuck. So it's it. Your ankle is it. You could walk a marathon.
[0:01:26] Andrew: I could, potentially, hypothetically. But as we said, I'm enjoying this 100% lifestyle for a little bit. Ask me the same question.
[0:01:32] Gavin: Gavin, how are you doing, man? What percentage are you? Specifically ask about my ankles. Gavin, how are your ankles? About 50%.
[0:01:39] Geoff: What happened?
[0:01:41] Gavin: I think it was, was it like two weeks ago, Eric said I was the Andrew of that podcast. Probably in the extra medium. Bullshit. Yeah. I am definitely the Andrew of, I have bad ankles.
[0:01:51] Andrew: Oh, no. Well, at 50%, would you say your ankles are extra medium?
[0:01:55] Gavin: I'd say they couldn't get more medium than that.
[0:01:57] Geoff: But, man, listen, before we get off on an aside, the extra medium thing really blew up in a way I did not anticipate. God damn, man. I have never seen nothing. Nothing but extra medium shit for the last week, a couple days of my life.
[0:02:14] Gavin: I've never seen so many regulation listeners turn in their comment leaver cards. I saw people saying they were becoming comment leavers just for this conversation. I saw people responding to those people who became comment leavers just for that.
[0:02:28] Geoff: It was like an infection. This is like, man, this might be the most commented thing since maybe the pencil or condiments. It's been wild. But, Gavin, why are your ankles at 50% means you're in a cast, maybe? What's going on?
[0:02:44] Gavin: Well, I'm getting the hockey teeth in my wall fixed. I had to move my desk. But the desk is really heavy, like, without anything on it. And also, I didn't want to take everything off it. So I just thought, you know, I'll lift up one side, sort of shimmy it around, lift up the other side, keep doing that a few times. And I did one side. The side without, you know, just has like a printer on that side of the legs. The other side has like a big hard drive, big server thing, big RAID and my PC. So I thought, oh, this one's going to be a bit more serious. And I gave it a few little test lifts. I was like, okay, I think my arms and back can take it. Here we go. And I just hoisted the whole thing up. Instead of lifting the table up, I sank down about two inches as both of my ankles rolled. And I just ended up just like twisted outwards, just like, oh, I just didn't ever consider my ankles to be the point of failure. And I think it's to do with the fact that I'm still, you know, I'm still recovering from the pelvic injury from does it do. So I maybe wasn't stood as straight as I usually am.
[0:03:46] Gavin: And I just, I did not expect to go downwards. And I ended up just rolling around on the floor. Once again, contemplating my age and career choices. Can you walk? Yeah. But, you know, it kind of hurts to like, I still go on walks and stuff, but I just, it starts hurting sooner. I just need like an MOT. I just need a look, a look over from a doctor. I need x-rays.
[0:04:09] Geoff: One side hurt more than the other. Is one ankle worse than the other ankle? No, it was a pretty even pop across both. Wow.
[0:04:17] Gavin: Instead of, I think instead of, instead of going down to a 0% on one ankle, like breaking it, it just split the damage across both. So I'm just at half on both.
[0:04:28] Geoff: I think you're saying the word pop for effect, but when you say it, I feel like I heard like, come out of.
[0:04:35] Gavin: It was probably the most bone cracks I've heard. Oh. From my body ever. Because it was both ankles at the same time. It was deafening.
[0:04:44] Geoff: I, I'm gonna, I, these hockey teeth are troubling me and I'll tell you why. I tried really hard to, as a friend to help this process and just got the impression you didn't want my help or my, or my presence at any point. I could have helped you move this table, man. I spent four hours moving back into my bedroom last night. I can do it.
[0:05:02] Gavin: Yeah. And I thought, you know, it'd be really fun to try and fix the wall. But then I realized that the people who hacked it to pieces were more than happy to repair it. So I thought, oh, I might as well take the free repair.
[0:05:11] Andrew: Oh yeah.
[0:05:12] Gavin: Yeah. That makes sense. I just had to move my desk. And in the end, after about eight hours of not being able to walk good, I came back to my desk. I took everything off it and I moved it with great ease. Fantastic.
[0:05:25] Andrew: So I'm trying to, I'm visualizing. I don't know. If you remember in old wrestling games and like the top left corner, there's the outline of the human body. And as areas get hurt more, it becomes like increasingly red. So right now I'm just seeing you with like deep red ankles. Is that the only issue? Where else on the body? Because it sounds like you both are in trouble. Imagine the. What happened to Gavin?
[0:05:50] Eric: What happened to both of you? No, no, we're here. Gavin started talking. Do you think his computer restarted?
[0:05:56] Gavin: Oh, you can't hit me anymore?
[0:05:57] Eric: Oh my God. No, you're back. No, you're back. You stopped talking.
[0:06:00] Geoff: We're a technical difficulties podcast. We were just talking about this. No, we're not. We're not a technical difficulties podcast.
[0:06:06] Gavin: Yeah, I said, what I said was, what did I say? Oh, I said, yeah, imagine you're playing Doom and my ankles are the Doom guy and they both have nosebleeds. I said something like that.
[0:06:15] Unidentified: Okay.
[0:06:16] Andrew: It's a wild visual. Okay. Oh, I see. There's a screen. The old Doom. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I get it. Okay, I understood.
[0:06:23] Gavin: He gets all knackered up.
[0:06:26] Andrew: Yeah.
[0:06:26] Gavin: I'm sure my original delivery was better than me trying to remember what I just said.
[0:06:29] Andrew: No, but what about your upper? Because you had the other injuries from before. So we got like a yellow midsection. What's going on on the rest of the scale?
[0:06:36] Gavin: Yeah, it has the amber on the left hip. I'm probably at 80%. Oh, yeah. Pit boy. So I'd say, yeah, both ankles crippled and left hip. Left hip's just got like half a bar.
[0:06:48] Andrew: Okay.
[0:06:49] Geoff: How about you, Jeff? What's going on with you? Well, mine's a whole thing. I feel like we're running through a greatest hits of Jeff's misery in the last week. I don't know. I was talking about this with Eric the other day. Well, first off, I think I had just had the bike wreck after when I saw you guys last time or when we recorded last time. I was apparently running on adrenaline and the excitement of having a story to tell. Everything went downhill pretty much from that night on. I don't remember what the situation, what the living arrangements were at that point, but there's just been a confluence of just fucking myself right in the butthole. Well, what was it that Eric wrote on Slack?
[0:07:30] Andrew: Yeah, that was the big turn because before last time when we left off, there was discussion around that you were going to hit a bunch of baseballs tomorrow morning.
[0:07:39] Gavin: Yeah, that's not happening. Yeah, this was on the 26th of August. Eric in the face Slack wrote, hey, after seeing Jeff today, there's no way we're hitting baseballs next Friday, which is tomorrow now.
[0:07:51] Geoff: I'm walking again, so that's good. So that's that's your status update is that you were walking again. Yeah, I'm walking again fairly well. I don't think I'm hitting baseballs or anything. We'll just go from there. So for the bike wreck, the ankle, it turns out it was very, very sprained and that was real bad. The knee scabbed up real hard. And do you guys ever? I don't know if you were scabby boys when you were growing up, but I always I was always falling into something and getting covered in scabs. And you know how like when you you get a scab on an elbow or a knee when you're a kid and then if you get up or sit down too fast or bend your arm too fast, it cracks the scab in half. Yeah, I'm doing that a couple times a day right now. So it's like it just feels like it's never going to end. And it's just like any time I move the scab on my knee cracks and it's excruciating. And so the whole left side of my body is pretty sore. I don't know if it's Gavin sore, but it's pretty fucking sore. Um, it was compounded by the fact that I don't know if this had happened yet, but you know,
[0:08:53] Geoff: I was having having the dudes come in and work on the house, fixing up the bedroom. And I may have even made a joke about how I thought it was going to take like two days and it was probably gonna take much longer. Well, I moved back into my bedroom last night, which was wonderful. But I underestimated how difficult my life would be being kicked out of my own bedroom for a week, like not able to go in at all, uh, cause it was like a clean room because they were having to like de-texture the ceiling and then re-tape and float and put the, whatever the shit on the ceiling is to smooth it out. And it took, I mean, they were fucking working till like seven, eight, nine, 10, midnight, night for last every night. And, um, I just didn't have access to my bedroom, which means I didn't have access to my closet. I wasn't ready for that. I didn't know when the first guy walked in and said, Hey, what's up? I'm Dave. I'm, I got muscles and tattoos and I'm going to put the trim on your wall. I didn't know that from that point on, I would have no access to my clothes, uh, or anything
[0:09:53] Geoff: I owned really. Uh, and so I have been living in one pair of shorts, two pairs of underwear, a pair of socks and three shirts that I just happened to have in my laundry. But you couldn't just nip in there? No. Well, no, it's my closet was boarded up like, like my whole, the whole room, uh, was taped off very heavily because they did the walls first and then the ceiling. And it was, it's all been ceiling work since. So I, it was all like taped off in a way. And then like the scaffolding and stuff, which is very heavy, it's pushed against it. So I could nip into the room, but I couldn't buy myself, move the scaffolding or any of that stuff. And so I just been, I've been, I've been living like that for a week, just doing laundry every night, which is fine. I can live with that. But that nip to target and get a few sets of undies. Yeah.
[0:10:41] Andrew: Jeff is maybe the funniest person that ever does happen to you because you have a fucking clothing line.
[0:10:45] Geoff: You have a whole extensive shirt collection based around you. I got to start making underwear. I got to start making underwear. I have tons of clothes. I just didn't have access to them. Uh, but I, but I did have some stuff in the dirty clothes. So I made it work. I make, I improvise. I make it work. It's fine. I adapt. I overcome. I was in the military. I know how to do it. Uh, but that, that like not having access to your stuff. Also, this is gonna sound really lame, but I have two stress relievers in my life right now that I don't drink. I have bicycles out of the question. There's no way I can't get on my bike right now. So my backup is baseball cards, right? I play, I, I, when I get stressed out, I organize my baseball cards. I, I, I, I sleeve stuff all locked up in the closet. No access to any, any of that shit. It was all in the closet with the clothes, right? Oh no. So I just had no, no way to like relieve stress. Saturday, Friday, Saturday, I was in bed. I could barely, I couldn't really, really get out. I had to have my leg elevated. It was swollen. Uh, so my whole weekend was basically fucked. And then bed, I don't know if I, I don't know if this had happened yet, but we had to move
[0:11:47] Geoff: my king size mattress and everything, our bed into the library. It was the only room in the house we could fit it, which is where, you know, the shelves are.
[0:11:54] Gavin: And it's so much warmer room as well, right?
[0:11:55] Geoff: Oh yeah.
[0:11:55] Gavin: Yeah.
[0:11:56] Geoff: Well, I found out that, uh, first off the house, this side of the house is unbearably hot. Uh, the air conditioner doesn't work for shit over here. Uh, and, uh, I knew that I knew that because they had told me that and they told me it was unfixable because of the way my ceiling is built without ripping out my whole ceiling. And now that I have ripped out of ceiling, I have no desire to do that again anytime soon. Let me tell you, but I hadn't experienced it. Uh, but now I spent a week living on a mattress on the floor, like I'm in college again, where like I have to very carefully get out of my side because one inch away from the bed is this desk and this chair and all of this equipment. And I sprained my ankle three or four more times just trying to get up to pee in the middle of the night, trying to get like through the Jenga of this room. So like I was in a box, incredibly uncomfortable. Another thing you don't think about when you, when you do, when you displace yourself in your own home and have complete strangers in your house, half of your house, uh, for eight to 12 hours a day, every day, for some reason, every spot in this house.
[0:13:00] Geoff: That I could stand or sit or occupy space in has a direct line view to those guys. I was what now that they were watching me, just like every time I turn around, no matter what room I'm in, they can see me and I can see them. And it's just really discombobulating to feel like, even though those guys don't give a fuck about me, they're busy doing their job, but just to feel like every time I turn around, there's dudes, I can see people like a window away from me and there was nothing I could do about it. So I just felt, I felt like I was in a fishbowl for a fucking week. Then, uh, night before last, God damn, I was fucking done with it, you know? And the guys were like, the guys were like, it's going to take another day to do the seal, to finish the ceiling. It's taking longer than we thought. And Emily was like, nah, get it done tonight. We got the painter coming in tomorrow. Cause that's a whole other thing. The guy that did, does the trim, doesn't do paint. The guy that does the ceiling does paints the ceiling, but doesn't paint trim. So we got to bring in another guy who paints trim. I'm pretty sure I'm in some sort of a, like, uh, scam, but whatever, it's fine. You, you do what you got to do in Austin to get people into your house to fix stuff because
[0:14:02] Geoff: every house in Austin is under construction. And if anybody that's been in Austin and has driven through a, the one block of a neighborhood can see that every house in Austin is under construction right now. So it's like, it's, it's, you just, you know, this was like, these were like the 20th people we, we tried to get to even come in to do this job. So it's like, fuck it, whatever. We'll hire a third guy to, guy to paint the trim. And thank God he did. Cause he was lovely and a Boston Celtics fan. But anyway, so I was ready to go to bed at like nine o'clock night before last. And, uh, we had these giant picture windows in the library that look right into the picture windows in the bedroom. And I, and those guys, Emily wouldn't let them leave until they finished. They didn't finish till after midnight. And so I just, and I couldn't like, I'm not going to lay in my bed in front of them and try to go to sleep. So I was kept awake, which really sucked too. Uh, so I've just been like, uh, I guess you would describe it as depressed. I don't know. Um, Emily made sure I saw my therapist this week. Uh, she said I wasn't doing well. Um, but that's not all the bad stuff. Uh, so all that has just been put, that's, that's put me in a state.
[0:15:02] Gavin: Yeah. A bit of a low.
[0:15:03] Geoff: The jockage persists. Oh no.
[0:15:06] Gavin: It's never ending. Oh my God.
[0:15:08] Geoff: It got so bad. I contacted the doctor this morning and I'm like, listen, I, I, I tried two different rounds of pills with you guys, two different kinds of creams. I'm still getting cream. As a matter of fact, I ran out of the cream you gave me, but I had a refill. So I just filled it myself and kept going. I'm trying to, to be patient with this thing, but like, is there what, like, what else can we do? And they were like, keep at it. Put more cream on.
[0:15:32] Gavin: Oh no. Oh, did you tell them it might be some sort of virus from the lake?
[0:15:37] Geoff: No. I mean, I went there and physically showed it to him. The doctor looked at it and he goes like, yeah, like that's, that's jockage. That's tinea as it's called. Um, but they're kicking, they kick it. They're kicking my itch can down the road. So I'm pretty like the left side of my body is inflamed and exhausted. And every time I stand up or sit down, I crack a scab and yellow pus drips out and then it has to, and it's just, it's just brutal. And then the right side of my body is on fire. And so I'm just incredibly uncomfortable in my own skin. And then last night we moved back into the room and it was like four hours of lifting heavy furniture. And so today I woke up to just every bit of arthritis in my body was mad at me. And so like, I could barely stand because of my spine. It's just fucking sucked. And, uh, Emily says she can tell when I'm not doing well. Cause she'll walk into the room and I just have my head in my hands and I don't realize I'm doing that, but, uh, God. She said that every time she walks into a room, I have my head in my hands, which is why she was like, be sure, be sure to go to therapy this weekend. Talk about this.
[0:16:37] Geoff: So I did. Um, but all that, that's out of all that, you know, we've got the, the Jeff's body falling apart, bike wreck. What would be one other classic thing that happens to me that we could throw into the mix? House is clearly an issue. I'll let you guess real quickly. And then if nobody's going to get it, I'll just, uh, a baseball card fire, baseball card
[0:16:56] Andrew: fire, the fridge that you're not going to get a replacement for fridge is a fridge is
[0:17:01] Geoff: a great one. I'll just, uh, I picked up Millie from school Monday. We needed to go to the grocery store and, uh, so I'm like, okay, so head up to the grocery store, stop at the stoplight before the grocery store. And bam, rear-ended, come on, bam, rear-ended. I got fucking rear-ended. Oh, less than a month after I got my car back from when I fucked it up and then they took it to get it certified and then they got into an accident. I get rear-ended again, which is still less than like six months from when Millie got rear-ended. My car's been in three accidents this year. What does everyone have against my car? I have no, I fucking did it, dude. But now I'm without a car today. I mean, my car's drivable, but it's all fucked up in the back and I got to go through this process again where the only place that'll fix my, my kind of car, they still get certified by BMW, is 40 minutes away and you got to go down there and take the car to them and then they'll evaluate it and then they won't let you leave it there. Then you got to go back home and wait two weeks for the, and I'm in that process again
[0:18:03] Geoff: and I was so fucking excited to be done and have a fucking healthy car again to now immediately be starting at scratch all over again. I still haven't even been able to, still going through insurance, I still haven't even been able to take it to get evaluated to see how much it's going to cost to repair. I'm so fucking done with this life. Oh my God.
[0:18:25] Gavin: That is an endless stream of shit. This might be the worst week ever on Face that we've heard from you.
[0:18:32] Geoff: It's like Groundhog's Day, man. I just, I don't know. I don't know. And I'll be honest with you. There's a little bit of, there's a little bit of joy in here in your misery, Gav. And it probably would have felt a little better if Andrew had something bad happen too. Cause then it's like, you know, misery loves company. Yeah. I'm a, I'm a pretty miserable guy, but, uh, God.
[0:18:51] Gavin: Now I'm just imagining you in the front seat of your smashed in car with your head in your heads.
[0:18:56] Geoff: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm just like, did it hurt? Uh, nah, I was, it was, I mean, I had a headache or Millie had a headache. I had a sore neck, but it was fine. Was it something that was nothing twat on their phone? No, I felt so bad. It was one of like, I'm pretty sure it was one of Millie's high school classmates. She was a kid. She was, she was really sweet and terrified and I felt bad for her. I ended up trying to comfort her. I'm like, listen, this is your first accident. And she's like, and I'm like, is it your car or your parents' car? She's like, it's my car. My parents pay for it. I'm like, that's okay. And then she's like, you know, I'm like, are you, you're not hurt. I'm not hurt. We can both drive away. This is like, if you're going to get into an accident, this is the first accident to get it. Don't worry. My car gets rear ended once a month. This happens to me six, seven times a year, apparently. So yeah, sign, sign my book of people who have rear ended me this year. Yeah. This is my car wreck book. Yeah. Just like read a little note, maybe, you know, so that I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm feeling, I'll be honest with you guys.
[0:19:57] Geoff: I'm feeling kind of defeated right now.
[0:19:59] Gavin: I love the idea of like a hotel guest book for your car.
[0:20:03] Andrew: It's just like a bunch of blank lines and you just get people to sign in every time they hit you. I think it's a problem of space though. There's no book big enough that can fit the volume that Jeff gets hit. We're going to constantly be needing you paper. All these dates and names. There are demolition derby vehicles that have had less impact than your car, Gavin.
[0:20:23] Geoff: It is ridiculous. My car has been hit through no fault of its own three times this year. Three fucking times this year. How is that possible? That's a lot. That's an excessive amount. Yeah. It's like we're magnetized to assholes. Oh, so anyway, sucks. Okay. That's my update.
[0:20:43] Andrew: So to put a positive spin, you're back in your room.
[0:20:46] Geoff: Yeah. I slept in my own bedroom last night. It was wonderful. And the room is good is fucking gorgeous. I'll send you guys a picture. It looks like let's see it. Let's see a picture like a post shelf picture. Yeah. It's a, here you go. I, let me see if I took any, I did. Okay. Here.
[0:20:59] Andrew: Oh, that looks so cool.
[0:21:01] Gavin: Yeah. That's worth it.
[0:21:02] Andrew: Is that the best picture that Jeff has ever taken? It, it looks like honestly a photo of a five-star hotel room. Jeff, thanks. But that is like the executive suite. Yeah. Did you take that photo?
[0:21:14] Eric: I did. I did. I did. Wow. I took it on, that's what happens when I try to take a photo. I will say I'm, I genuinely impressed by your photo taking skills here. Yeah. That's an incredible photo. It's a great photo. It's a great photo.
[0:21:24] Geoff: On the wide lens? Yeah. It's on the 0.5 or whatever. The only thing is I didn't take the laundry off the little bench in front of the bed before I took it. So it's, let's get you, excuse me, dirty laundry. But I was just excited to have laundry. Anyway, so that's what my bedroom looks like. Yeah. I don't know if you can really see the, the, the stuff on the walls, but it's all like painted the same color. The ceiling's painted the same color. Yeah. It's, it is worth it. It is worth, it's totally worth it.
[0:21:45] Andrew: I'm scrolling up to the, the photo you took before. It looks like an entirely different room. It's amazing how much of an impact that those choices you did made.
[0:21:54] Geoff: I'm real jazzed. That's awesome. Yeah, it looks great. Thank you so much. Uh, and thank you to the, the, the fleet of people that required to, to do that, like the seven different companies or whatever we had to hire. Yeah. I mean, you know, that, that, that, that part's nice. At least now I'm convalescing, uh, and in my, my bed in my space. And, uh, I, I do appreciate that. Um, also man, this fucking, I, first off, a lot of people coming up, a lot of people approaching me this week, telling us we owe Andrew's mom an apology. Uh, we, we record these pretty far in advance. FYI. Uh, we had already recorded the followup episode to this when this, when last week's episode hit the extra medium and the end cap episode hit. So Andrew and I both had already changed our minds and agreed with Gavin, uh, in the previous little day, the audience hasn't even heard the episode yet. And we've definitely apologized to Andrew's mom at this point. Um, boy, we're getting hammered pretty hard. So, and also, also turns out nobody agreed with us.
[0:22:55] Geoff: Everybody's on Gavin's side. Almost everybody is on Gavin's side.
[0:23:00] Gavin: Someone came up with a, with their own grid just from my description. And it's pretty much the exact same as mine, except vertical. And it looks nicer. Yeah. Eric, you must be livid.
[0:23:09] Eric: Yeah, Gavin, gotta say, I'm not thrilled. Um, uh, I mean, it's really shocking when you're right, you know, you're right. And then you have to like really put into perspective how many people can be wrong in the world at one time. Uh, it's really kind of sad. I feel sad for them, uh, frankly embarrassed for them that they would be this wrong. Um, I think that's really kind of what it boils down to is, uh, you know, you got to get out there and, and do your best every day. Um, you know, it's, it's a team effort and, uh, you know, it's, uh, it's not, it's not an individual thing. It's, it's just, you know, you can't, you can't let the chatter get to you. You have to go out and just play the game the best that you can and do what you can every time.
[0:23:56] Gavin: So have you thought about maybe just opening the mind, maybe seeing what all the fuss is about? Yeah. Yeah.
[0:24:02] Eric: Again, Gavin, it's like I said, um, it's, you got to get out there and you can't let the naysayers and detractors, uh, get at you. You know, you got to go out there and do what you know is best and, and do what you believe in your heart and, uh, and just play the game. You know how, uh, that's, I think that's the important part.
[0:24:20] Gavin: We, I, I, by the way, last week you were saying how, um, cause we obviously threw this in the merch chat for a discussion and you were saying that the only person who agreed with me in there was Maxie.
[0:24:29] Eric: Right.
[0:24:30] Gavin: Um, but that actually wasn't the case.
[0:24:32] Eric: Right. It's pretty sad to see, you know, again, I got to go out and say, it's pretty sad to see how many people are wrong, how many people you've respected in your life. And, uh, again, there's a lot of chatter and there's a lot of people saying a lot of things, but it's not up to them. Uh, you know, it's, um, it's just, uh, frankly, it's tough. It's tough when you think that, uh, everyone's got your best interests at heart and they don't and, uh, they're wrong the whole time. So it's pretty rough. Sometimes, sometimes it happens with your own family. Like when your wife says, so what's this extra medium thing? And then you explain it and she goes, and now you're betrayed, you know, just on like a marital level. So it's, um, it's difficult.
[0:25:12] Gavin: Uh, what we skipped by in, in the merch chat last week was we, we said that Maxi agreed with me, of course, but also Tony wrote extra medium, I guess would be mathematically exactly the measurement between small and large.
[0:25:26] Eric: Right. Yeah. And he, and he'd be wrong about that, which is really like the tough part of the whole thing. You know what I mean? Is that, you know, leave it up to, yeah, that's the thing. And we like Tony and, and it's really hard just to see him be that wrong, uh, the whole time, especially from a merch standpoint. You know what I mean? Like this is the guy we're trusting with the face, with the face brand.
[0:25:48] Andrew: Yeah. You know what? You know, it's great about this conversation. We've had it four times. No, it's, it gives me a unique perspective of this is what it must've been like to listen to me say, I never said I would eat a pencil is what just happened to watch somebody just be so clearly wrong and everybody being against it. But an unwillingness to move in the slightest, this has been a great exercise for me.
[0:26:12] Geoff: What a, what a crazy time that was in your defense, Eric, can I say in commiseration and I've said this before and I'll say it again. I feel dirty. I don't, I don't like, I don't like what's happened. I don't like that. My opinion has changed. I feel like there's something wrong in me that makes me agree with Gavin. And I don't, I don't respect Gavin or his opinion. So it's really, it's like, it's, it sucks, dude. It's like, there's an, like, I'm not doing good internally. Just trying to, trying to get over this.
[0:26:46] Eric: I get what you're saying that it's like on a personal level, you know, now just imagine that's just like a million fold where you just have to see that in everyone else and just, and you're embarrassed, frankly, for all of those people. And it's, it's really sad for them to live in a world where that's what they think extra medium is.
[0:27:04] Gavin: Nick said, this is Eric's pencil, but he doesn't have to eat a shirt. It's true. I never committed to eating anything.
[0:27:10] Eric: And I think that's probably what's going to let me off here.
[0:27:13] Gavin: It sounds as though if I'd have asked anyone else at the company for an extra medium, I would have been given a medium. So I really, you know, unlocked out with who I asked.
[0:27:23] Eric: And I think that's the solace that I have in all of this is that people go, right, but it's Gavin. Why did he ask that way? And I'm like, right, no, I understand.
[0:27:30] Geoff: Oh, man. Speaking of does it do, I guess it's come out at this point. I hope. Yes, it is.
[0:27:37] Eric: We'll have the, the premiere will have been, I mean, at the point of this recording, it's tomorrow, but it'll, the first two episodes will be out by the time this episode is out. So we'll take a break and then record some more. We had a great meeting to come up with like the rest of the season, like a great meeting about that. So I'm excited to do more. Does it do?
[0:27:57] Geoff: Yeah, it was, it felt like maybe a preview of, uh, of what office day is going to be like tomorrow. Cause tomorrow's our first office day as well. And it was me, Eric and Andrew Gavin didn't show for some reason, but, uh, we like went through, it was on your calendar. I assume. When was that? Tuesday. We did the meeting. It was Tuesday from one to two. It was on his calendar. Yeah. We talked about it, uh, in the last recording. Uh, we scheduled it and everything. You were there. Meetings we've ever had. We went through all the products for the rest of the season and we came up with all the props and all the tests and everything. And I'm, I'm, I was excited about does it do before just with the idea of it when I came up with it. And then I was really excited after we filmed the first two episodes, uh, more so episode two than one, except that two was stronger, but I'm way more excited now because the stuff that like that we were coming up with together was so much better. It's so funny. I'm really excited to get back in there and film again. So that meeting has haunted me, uh, in, in an unexpected way, Jeff, I talked to Gavin
[0:29:00] Andrew: that evening and I talked to him about the meeting and I said, uh, we had a meeting today. We're talking about things for the show, how it do, and then he corrected me and I was so embarrassed and I'm still living in that embarrassment. I haven't stopped thinking about the fact that I said, how it do as the show named it. Yeah.
[0:29:20] Gavin: That's the question you ask off the does it do comes up.
[0:29:22] Andrew: Yeah. Yeah. Oh, it was so bad. I feel so bad about it. How it do. What was going on with your brain there? I don't know. Maybe I think there's a graphic in the first one or how it works me. I don't know. It was just my brain was somewhere else. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know where it was, but it was bad. It was an embarrassing moment that I haven't been able to stop thinking about how it do.
[0:29:47] Gavin: Well, I haven't thought about it since 10 seconds after you said it, but I'm glad it's been a
[0:29:54] Andrew: one of you. No, I, yeah, it's, I knew, I know it's one of those, but literally it's all I've been thinking about for two days, constantly. How it do. What an idiot.
[0:30:04] Geoff: So tomorrow is our, uh, is our office day. First office day. Is everybody gonna show up or is everybody gonna be there? What time is that?
[0:30:12] Eric: I mean, right now we were going to hit baseballs from 10 to 12, but now we're not. So we can just move it and go noon to four or we can do 11 to four. I mean, we have, we have like some space to play, but I'm free for, it's my whole day.
[0:30:25] Geoff: I have my whole day, uh, marked off for it. I'm, I'm, I, when I was like, is everybody going to, I was more, uh, it was very pointedly, uh, focused at Gavin.
[0:30:34] Eric: Yeah, I understand.
[0:30:35] Geoff: Yeah, I'm free after 11. Okay, perfect. That's very exciting.
[0:30:38] Eric: All right. I will, uh, I will make an adjustment to the calendar invite. Fantastic.
[0:30:42] Geoff: I'm excited. I don't know what's, what that's going to bring, but I'm excited for it. Did you guys see this, uh, image on Instagram the other day? Emily showed it to me. I sent it in the Slack. It's, uh, somebody.
[0:30:53] Gavin: There's the naked person in the background.
[0:30:54] Geoff: I mean, I think it's somebody who's probably wearing shorts, but, uh, it's, somebody sent it to the face Instagram and it's, uh, somebody sent it to the face Instagram and it's, uh, somebody named Elizabeth and, uh, it appears that they got a go, go now tattoo on their finger, which that's awesome. We were so excited about, um, Emily, me, uh, Tamara and go, go now, Joey, uh, are all going to go get that tattoo. We're all going to go get that tattoo on our fingers together, uh, to commemorate the event. We're pretty excited.
[0:31:23] Gavin: Are you going to do it on the same finger? Yeah, I think so. I got room. You think so? I don't have anything. I feel like it should be on the, on the index.
[0:31:28] Andrew: I was going to say, yeah, like a pointer finger. Yeah, it's like a, it should be the finger that can point.
[0:31:32] Gavin: It's like, get a move on.
[0:31:33] Geoff: Yeah, like go now, go here, pointing here. Oh, yeah, I can do that. That's a good point. I, well, maybe they were looking to hide it a little bit more, but, um, I'm, I'm all about, I mean, there's no hiding my tattoos. So, yeah, I'll get it on my index finger for sure. That's a great point.
[0:31:46] Andrew: Was it, is that the middle finger that they did it on? I think so. Because I respect that too, I guess. Like, go, go now, fuck yourself.
[0:31:52] Eric: Yeah, that's, that's the way I read it. Yeah, exactly. I really like it on the middle finger.
[0:31:57] Andrew: Yeah, maybe keep it on the middle. Good point. I think no matter what finger you put it on, it works. It's a great, it's a fantastic tattoo.
[0:32:02] Geoff: Anyway, so I just wanted to shout out to Elizabeth for getting that tattoo. And, uh, just so you know, we're all going to rip off your tattoo and get it ourselves too. The crew that was on the boat that survived.

Just like the surprisingly incredible taste of Minute Maid Zero Sugar. Bring the juice with Minute Maid Zero Sugar. Visit the chill juice aisle in your local grocery store today.
[0:32:50] Andrew: I had, uh, I had an interesting thing happen that I feel like I need, I feel like I need to tell this story because there's a possibility that somebody could have this happen to them. It was a fascinating, it was a few days ago. Just a normal night. I got a call from my mom. She said, hi, uh, there's something wrong with the TV. Can you come, can you come fix this? And I was like, well, what's going on? What's wrong? Because I assume if it's broken to the point where she's calling, I'm assuming I'm not going to be able to fix it. Because she's not tech savvy, but it's not, you know, it's an extreme call. Yeah. She's like, I don't want to talk about this over the phone. You have to come over here. You have to fix this. Oh, no. And I said, okay, so I went to her place and I look at the TV and as soon as I look at the TV, I'm greeted with an image of the Vancouver child kicker skateboard in my closet. And I'm, I'm thinking like, what, how did, what is going on? How did this happen?
[0:33:51] Andrew: I was expecting it to just be like a pixel issue. Why is a photo I took on this television? And so I said, what were you doing on, on the TV? And she said, I was watching Disney plus. I said, okay, so you're on. And then I put all the pieces together. What had happened was for Christmas, I bought her an Amazon fire stick because she wasn't able to watch Disney plus and she wanted to watch only murders in the building. So she watches Disney plus through the fire stick. I got an email maybe like two or three months ago from Amazon saying, Hey, we have like Amazon photos. If you use our app, we'll give you a $15 gift card. So I signed up for that. And when I signed up, it immediately just transferred all of my camera roll onto their service. Oh, so then I'm piecing together. Oh, so, so this is, so it's my camp. It must be the Amazon photo thing. So I said, how did this happen? She said, well, I got up to use the bathroom and I came back and all these photos were on
[0:34:51] Andrew: the screen. And the first photo that appeared when she came back was a photo of my driver's license. Cause I guess I took a photo to sign up for like a medical app or like a COVID thing in the past where I had to like send in a government ID to register for it. She thought that her TV was like hacked by anonymous. She thought that this was a deep, that's why she didn't want to tell me over the phone. She thought it was like an enemy of the state, like somebody had hacked. Yeah. She, she was convinced cause it was like all these personal photos and I have never been more relieved that my camera roll was filled with just things that make me laugh. Cause I could just see in my head for certain people, how disastrous this could have been. So I sorted it out. I turned off the screensaver mode for it, went into the Amazon photos, got rid of my, my camera roll, deleted everything. But I just know warning to people, if you have Amazon photos and there's somebody in your life that is using your Amazon account through a stick or whatever, just be aware, just be cautious.
[0:35:51] Andrew: Cause that can be, that could be such a bad scenario for people.
[0:35:55] Gavin: Catastrophic for you.
[0:35:56] Andrew: It could have been disastrous.
[0:35:58] Geoff: We, we have that. We have one of those little like, uh, Amazon, uh, like Alexa TV things in the kitchen. And, uh, we set that up to, so that we could put foot, like Emily wanted to put like photos of the dogs and stuff, little dog now and stuff in there. And, uh, when she left after the first day she set it up, I just filled it with pictures of her sleeping with her mouth open that I've taken. So then she did the same. So now if you ever come to my house, just look at the screensaver on the Amazon. Cause it's just us fucking with each other, uh, trying to one up each other with more embarrassing photos. Oh, that's fantastic. Oh, that's great. Well, I'm glad Gene Hackman's not trying to hack your mom. Is that a good movie? Enemy of the State? Yeah. I haven't seen it in such a long time. I mean, I haven't seen it since it came out, but I remember enjoying it.
[0:36:48] Gavin: Were you having to quickly think of all the stuff in your camera roll? Like the moment you saw that on there, were you just like in a panic?
[0:36:54] Andrew: Like how fucked am I? No. Like I, I kind of, I, as I said, my, I know what my camera roll is. It's just, it's 99% things that made me laugh. And then like the occasional picture of like face merch that they're like said to a family member or something being like, look at this. This is cool. Good boy's a Zimmer type thing. Yeah. Um, yeah, no, I was more relieved. It wasn't me processing what was there. It was the relief of knowing that there was nothing I would be embarrassed about on that camera roll. It was a huge sense of relief. It was like winning a thing that you didn't know you entered. It was great. I just felt it was important to share because I could, there's so many versions in a weird way. It was almost disappointment that it wasn't more embarrassing what was on the screen because it'd be a funnier story.
[0:37:41] Gavin: Mine would have had a bunch of pictures of my ass bruise as I've been tracking it slowly change shape.
[0:37:49] Geoff: What's the current shape? Oh, it's pretty much gone. Okay. Well, don't worry, buddy. We're filming. Does it do again? Pretty soon. Can I do it from like, can I sit down? You can not flop all over the goddamn place if you want it. Yeah. Every one, every one of those spills you took was 100% self-imposed. Yep. Impressively.
[0:38:12] Andrew: That one where you kick the TV. That was very good.
[0:38:16] Geoff: I don't even think the bad one was in episode one. I think the bad one's in episode two. Yeah. It was in episode two. It was during the race. Yeah. When I thought I was, I was so, when I heard you hit, I was so convinced I was going to turn around and see your like wrist snapped in half. Oh God, man. I've been thinking.
[0:38:32] Gavin: It hurts so much more after than it did at the time as well. Like it kind of hurt at the time because I was like, but the pain went away.
[0:38:38] Geoff: And then just later that night, I was just like, I, uh, I've been thinking about, um, I've been thinking about, uh, getting into downhill mountain biking. What? No. Yeah. Yeah. I've been thinking about it pretty seriously. Um, absolutely not. My, that sounds like a terrible idea. My therapist does downhill mountain biking and I've been thinking about it for a long time. And I got, I got, I got really kind of keyed up on it. The idea last week to the point where I was even looking at bikes and there's a place called spider mountain up Northwest of here that I thought I could go try that has like a ski lift and stuff. And I was figuring like, I'm not trying to hit like 20 foot jumps or anything, but I could hit some like six, seven foot jumps. And I, you know, I'm in my older age, I can like, I can take like the, I don't know, like the blue line down, not the black diamond or whatever. I figured I could probably handle that clearly, uh, not today. Um, I need to recover a little bit first, but I was, I, I finally, I'd been kind of hiding it, but I kind of, I decided to admit it to Emily that I was seriously thinking about doing this and, uh, you know, looking to get, get into that.
[0:39:39] Geoff: And she, she was like, I'm gonna show you a photo. She was like, just yesterday, I, I was cutting one of my client's hair and he showed me his arm and on his arm were five giant scars, like giant scars. And I asked like, what in the hell happened? His, uh, his like, he went on vacation and he went up to like, I don't know, somewhere where they have mountain biking Zion or somewhere and, uh, decided by himself, he was going to like, get into mountain biking. Same thing as me, like dude, probably in his forties or something. Uh, just saw some TikToks that looked cool. And, uh, it was like, wife is out of town or something. So he just said like, I'm gonna have a trip by myself. I'm gonna go up and do something I want to do. And, uh, she showed me a photo of him above the hill, smiling and waving at the selfie. And then she showed me a picture of an arm that I shit you not looked like an accordion. Oh God. His arm was in, it went like, it went like, it went like from the elbow up, like maybe three inches and then to the right and then far to the left and then
[0:40:40] Geoff: to the right and then back to the left again. And then there was a wrist. The dude broke his arm in so many different places. It was like, it was like, they were doing like experimental surgery to fix it because nobody had ever fucked their arm up that bad. And he was by himself and he, uh, he had to drive like, I don't know, 20 miles, a car with a accordion arm to get to a hospital. And so that's slowing me down a little bit, but, uh, yeah, I don't. Yeah. Can we vote on this now?
[0:41:07] Andrew: Yeah. I mean, it's a unanimous. No, you shouldn't do this. I don't get how you have a session and your entire point of session is that everything in your body is broken and the walk away point is maybe I should get into downhill mountain biking. Yeah. I don't understand how that gets suggested.
[0:41:23] Geoff: Uh, well, it didn't get suggested. I suggested it.
[0:41:26] Andrew: I see.
[0:41:27] Geoff: And they're like, I do this as well. Yeah. I've known for a while. My, my therapist mountain bikes. Um, it's something we talk about sometimes. We both love bicycles. So it's like a common point of, of, uh, conversation on occasion. I still think I'm still, that definitely slowed me down. That and my knee have, and my ankle have definitely slowed. No, I don't want to mountain bike with my therapist. I just want a mountain bike, but I, yeah, I, uh, I'm still considering it. I don't know. Thanks for the feedback. Uh, I'll take, I'll take it.
[0:41:57] Andrew: You guys are on the fence. I want to throw some weight on this to slow you down further. So the accordion arm guy, right? He crashed, had the drive. Now imagine in that drive, you're going to be in 25 car accidents. From point A to point B. So you need to factor that into the paint. This is not, you're the least, you're the least, not qualified isn't the right word, but you are the, the, like the, the number one, not candidate for doing this, but you
[0:42:22] Geoff: should be at the bottom of the list. That's how I'll get through the ambulance faster.
[0:42:27] Eric: Jeff, I want to, I want to side with you. I think you should give it a shot. Like, thanks man. Yeah, man. So we are hitting baseballs tomorrow or not?
[0:42:35] Geoff: No, I don't think so. Oh, okay.
[0:42:36] Eric: And that was because of, oh, I'm, I'm still pretty, I'm still, okay. I honestly, so it was a curb that, okay. No, I still say yes. I'm still going to go. Yeah. Yeah. But there's, there's not going to be any curbs on the mountain.
[0:42:49] Andrew: You're going to be like Jeff Kent is what's going to happen. You're not going to be able to hit baseballs because you broke your wrist doing wheelies on a bike. Like it's, you're, this is a disaster.
[0:43:00] Geoff: Your baseball career is being impacted by this. It would be a disaster if this ended my baseball career.
[0:43:05] Gavin: But to be fair, we could end up with a new bike jump stunt out of this.
[0:43:08] Geoff: I think we will, would, will, we'll see. I don't know. I'm not in a hurry to get back on my, on my bike on the street right now.
[0:43:15] Gavin: So we could potentially watch an arm become an accordion in slow motion.
[0:43:19] Geoff: I don't want to see that in slow motion. I don't either. Oh man. And my best friend in the army, when he was in high school, he was a big skateboarder and, uh, he, uh, no, he was, he was filming, uh, like skateboard, skateboard parts with his friends, uh, when he was like 16 and he like, I don't know what he did. I don't remember what the trick trick was. I think it was just like a, like a rail grind or something. It wasn't crazy. It wasn't even down steps or anything. It was on like a flat rail. Uh, but he like, he slipped and landed wrong and he snapped his arm in half. His, and, uh, from about, I would say about halfway up the, up the forearm. And so it was like, and there's a video he showed me in the army of him screaming and holding his arm and running around in a circle, not knowing what to do while his arm was just like flopping around in every different direction, uh, before I guess they stopped filming. Oh, that's terrible. Yeah. No, it's pretty gross.
[0:44:11] Andrew: That was, um, that was a MTV show when I was growing up. Was it scarred MTV scars? Scarred maybe? That's a sick show. Yeah. It was just, yeah. The only thing I remember, I was always too scared to watch it, but I remember watching it a little bit. I remember there was one where a guy was like grinding down a rail and then he fell and the rail had like a slice lip at like the edge of it and he like cut his ball sack open on impact. Like it was, it was bad. It's a bad show. That's a show that's hard to believe that was just on TV, like middle of the day. How could that be televised? I don't know. I never, I was too scared to watch it. So I don't, maybe it wasn't as graphic. Maybe it was like all they would like lead in and like explain it, but not show anything. But it was just not, it was not what I was interested in. It's terrible. There's a line. It's where physical comedy becomes not funny at all. I feel like wipe out is sort of the sweet spot or jackasses. Yes. Is maybe even better. I don't know. Yeah.
[0:45:09] Gavin: As soon as it's permanent, as soon as you watch something permanent happen, it's not funny to me.
[0:45:13] Andrew: Yeah, that's a weird, maybe it shows how poor my priorities are. If I'm okay, I try to laugh immediately on impact, mainly for everybody else. Like when I, I fell out of that share heart, immediate laughter, just because it, it's loud. I need everyone to know it's okay.
[0:45:30] Geoff: Uh, I was telling Eric all this shit earlier in the week, we were recording, uh, one of the other podcasts and, uh, the Austin one. And he told me, he was like, well, you're going to get, I guess you're going to get a root canal next week. And let me tell you, if I don't show up for face recording next week, it's because this is the only way I won't show up for recording this week. It's because it will be, if I wake up Monday or Tuesday morning with a toothache and I find out I do need a root canal, I'm going off the grid and nobody will ever see me again. I'm just walking away from this life. I'm just going to walk away. I'm going to be like the incredible, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like Bill Bixby at the end of an episode of the incredible Hulk. I'm just going to walk away. And then, or like what's his face, Carradine in Kung Fu. You'll never see me again. That's it. That's my exit from this life. I just, I will quit. I will throw up on my hands and quit.
[0:46:18] Andrew: You an appointment next week for that? For a root canal? No, I'm just saying like, are you going to the dentist? No, I got nothing. I got nothing. Okay.
[0:46:29] Geoff: False problem. Jeff falls off his bike. Fucking rash issues. But like if it, car accident, like it's either, it's either a fridge or root canal. And if, and if one of the, fridge I can live with. If root canal happens next week, that's it. I'm done. I'm done. I'm, that's
[0:46:45] Andrew: a wrap on Jeff. Yeah. You're living, you're living several of my nightmares. I don't know if you ever watched, did you see the night of, it was an HBO mini series. Oh, uh, about the cab driver. Yeah. I watched that first episode. John Turturro is in that and he plays a lawyer and it's like an eight episode arc and it's about this murder and trying to figure out what happened. But there's a subplot through the entire series of, he just has a rash that will not go away and it gets progressively worse with stress. And it's just this, this commentary. I don't know how accurate it is, but it seemed like dealing with rashes just is the worst thing ever. No creams worked. None of the pills worked. Just him bouncing from doctor to doctor, not getting any resolution, having to go to like weird, uh, like street vendors to find unorthodox methods of healing. You're living my fear of having one of these rashes that just will not go away.
[0:47:38] Gavin: Yeah. It's fascinating. It's been fascinating to observe this. Andrew and I played halo the other night for the first time a few months. And, um, he said something kind of insane to me. Was this inhaler? Was this like post a podcast? I said that you'd hit like, you said you'd hit like 320,000
[0:47:58] Andrew: gamer score or something. Oh my God. Oh, are you talking about what we, this was a different,
[0:48:03] Gavin: what we said after the podcast. Yeah. It might've been post podcast. Yeah. And, uh, and he, and Andrew was just like, I bet by the end of the year I could get, and in my head, I'm just filling in. I'm like, Oh, I bet he, he thinks he can get 400,000 by the end of the year. The guy says, I bet by the
[0:48:21] Andrew: end of the year I could hit a million. What? So the conversation was, I'm glad that there's a time difference between us. Cause there are times where I have burger confidence, burger confidence will often hit at around 10 30 PM for you guys, which is not, I don't feel comfortable. I don't want to disturb you. I'm not going to text that time. I had this thought where it was like, ah, I shouldn't maybe, I bet I could hit a million points. I should make a bet with Gavin that I could hit a million gamer score. I'm at like 320,000 right now. I bet you I could do this. And then some time passed. I realized that it's ridiculous. There's no way I could do it. But then, and describing to Gavin this moment of burger confidence, I re then believed that I could do it. I was back in. I was like, this seems possible. I'm going to give this a go. As soon as we stopped recording, I loaded up Paw Patrol. It's getting some achievements. We're finalizing details. It's not, it's economically,
[0:49:14] Gavin: I think I could do it for a game. You'd have to beat like six games a day every day until the end of
[0:49:20] Andrew: the year. Yeah. Well, it seems like, but like not even, you don't need a thousand points per game necessarily. I think there are so many, probably like 30 minute, 600 point games. It's a cost issue.
[0:49:33] Gavin: I was willing to take the bet. Like if it was going to be 400,000, I would have been like, yeah, you know, I may, I may put like 500 bucks into that bet. He said a million. I was like, I'll give you $10,000 if you do that. And then he was trying to figure out what he would, what he would have to do make it. And I just suggested, uh, run the marathon. And he was like, no, Hey, like you
[0:49:57] Geoff: wouldn't even want the marathon to be part of losing bet. So your conversation with Gavin, like rehydrated your burger confidence, essentially. How many, so we have a friend named Ray who used to work with us, who has a pretty, pretty lofty gamer score. Has he hit a million yet? Oh, he's way over. I think he's over 2 million. Oh, okay. Well shit. Maybe you can do it. It's so funny that
[0:50:21] Gavin: he wasn't even the first person to hit a million gamers score who has the name Ray. Yeah. That's
[0:50:27] Geoff: pretty funny. We met that other dude, right? Yeah. Stallion. He's great. Yeah. He's a nice guy. Yeah. I mean, I'm inclined to believe you could do it as well. It's a fucking lofty goal. I think 700, uh, fuck dude. Fuck four. You really think you could? I, yeah, I think
[0:50:44] Andrew: I don't think you've blown through all the fast games already. No, because I stopped doing that like 360 era. So I feel like I have all of Xbox one and the current generation to work with. I have a few on Xbox one that are like the easy ones, but you would never be able to go outside. No, I don't think it would be as extensive as you think. There's a lot of like in an hour, get a thousand point games. And I haven't done the extensive research to know how many of them there are. I could be so wrong. And that I think there's hundreds where there isn't, but you couldn't even write 20,000 things down. I don't know what that has to do with anything. That's just a side fact. So how much gamer score are you going to need? I'd need why like 680,000,
[0:51:25] Geoff: 680,000 gamer score. And what month? This is September. So you have five months to get, well, this was okay. This is a week ago. Oh, I'm sorry. We're now in September does five months
[0:51:37] Gavin: and a week. I've had this gamer tag since, uh, well, probably coming in on two decades and I've got 95,000 gamers score. Yeah. I think you kind of suck though. I suck though, but still that's so much.
[0:51:52] Andrew: It is a lot. I thought Gavin was going to bring up what happened in Halo is Halo recently added rank doubles and we haven't played in a very long time. So I thought, Oh, it'd be fun to do. Cause when it came out, we did ranked and that was fun. So why don't we do, we qualify. You have to play 10 games and then you get qualified for your rank. Uh, and it was double specifically, which is a new playlist. We went through the 10 games. Gavin, your previous rank was gold for what is your current
[0:52:20] Geoff: rank after playing 10 games? Where did it place you? Um, can you, before he answers, can you just go? Cause I haven't done it. Uh, and I imagine a lot of the audience doesn't know what the fuck that
[0:52:30] Andrew: means. What is the scale? So it starts, I think bronze is as low as you can go. Okay. And it goes bronze one through five and then silver one through five. So is five, the highest bronze, but then
[0:52:43] Geoff: five is the highest bronze. Yeah. And then it goes silver one, silver one. Yeah. You go through that
[0:52:48] Andrew: scale all the way up. I think it goes silver, gold, platinum. And then I want to say then it's onyx, right? I don't think there's a diamond. I think platinum and then the highest level is
[0:52:59] Gavin: onyx. Oh, it's a platinum. Maybe there is. I don't remember. I think you just skipped it cause you were onyx once. Oh, I worked. I, my first ranking was gold four. And then I slow, that was the rank it gave me after my 10 games. And then I was slowly able to climb gold five. And then I eventually got platinum one was the highest I've been. Okay. And, uh, here's diamond. And last night or the night before I got ranked silver four. It's the most
[0:53:27] Andrew: disappointed I've ever heard Gavin in my life. Now, do you think that's ready for something
[0:53:31] Gavin: shitty, but I, that made me sad. Do you think that's because of your ankles? I don't think
[0:53:37] Geoff: so. Why, what, what, what do you ascribe your dramatic drop in halo score to? Not very good. Do you think you've gotten worse or did people get better? I hope it's the second one.
[0:53:59] Andrew: I went up one. So last time we did this, I was platinum one. I got ranked platinum two. So I went up one level and Gavin got dropped down in a class.
[0:54:09] Geoff: I don't know if it's, if the audience is going to pick up on this, but I've known Gavin for a very long time. There is so much legitimate pain in the way he said those things. Like that was, there was a lot of really subtle, but raw, raw emotion in that fact. This is, this has gotta be, you've, you must be crestfallen. Eric's loving it. What makes it, what makes
[0:54:36] Unidentified: it even funnier? I've been fucking, I'm laughing so hard. I'm dying. Oh my God. Oh fuck. That is so funny. What do you attribute that to? Not very good. So you're old, your body's
[0:54:52] Geoff: falling apart and you suck at halo. It's like we're twins. So many outs, so many outs to say
[0:55:01] Unidentified: like, Oh, I was distracted by this or this thing happened or whatever. And it was just
[0:55:06] Andrew: brass tacks. Yeah. Fucking suck. What made it so enjoyable was the fact he had to play 10 games to get that. He had to put in so much effort to just be disappointed and insulted. Oh man.
[0:55:25] Gavin: Oh, and it's my, it's my favorite game. I love halo. I was going to, as a joke, delete the game after that happened. But then I remembered it's like 120 gig game. And I really don't
[0:55:36] Geoff: want to read that one. Oh, I'm sorry, buddy. Do you, it's a, well, you know, you probably the hand eye coordination is probably not what it used to be in your body. And, uh, you know, the eyes, they, they, as you get older, they, they lose a little bit of their sharpness. So, uh, all right. I got to try and get to gold this week. Yeah. Let's, let's try to get you there. Yeah. Do you think, do you think that now, do you, do you think a strict regimen of practice and playing will help or would you, would it be easier to build a time machine? Um, the second one. Yeah. It's kind of what I'm thinking too. Probably more plausible too. That's the luck though. I really want Andrew to try and get a million
[0:56:15] Andrew: before the end of the year there. I did financially is like, if I was looking at, I did a little bit of research and it seemed like some of the easiest games, the average price is like $10. So I have to buy like 600 games. I'm looking at 6,000 minimum. What if we try
[0:56:30] Gavin: to buy like someone's bulk video game collection off eBay, like all pre-used? I think most of these
[0:56:37] Andrew: easy gamer score games never had a physical release. Ah, it's a tough thing to work around. I'm not opposed to it. I could get 400,000. Uh, how long did that reasonably take? Uh, Tuesday. I think half
[0:56:49] Gavin: a million has got to be the goal. Half a million. Yeah. I think a million is impossible. Yeah. I think
[0:56:55] Andrew: a million is half a million. I, I would sneeze at half a million. That's easy. I can do that. No problem. Yeah. And if you don't, you have to run the marathon. No, I mean, we never said that. That was pretty, I mean, that was off the table before. So wait, I feel, I feel a legitimate
[0:57:09] Geoff: bet forming. I think, yeah, I agree. There's some half a million, half a million gamer score by January 1st, uh, 2023. Okay. You are at what right now? I'm at like 328,000. So you need, you need to get roughly, uh, 180,000. Oh, it's easy. Oh, it's so easy. Between now and which
[0:57:32] Gavin: is the equivalent of a, how does that 180 games? He has 329,621 currently. So you have to, you have
[0:57:41] Geoff: a hundred percent, roughly 200 games to do this in five months. Oh, that's, that's so easy. Now what it gab, what do you, what are you prepared? I surely you're not going for the full 10,000 for such a paltry gamer scores, 500, uh, half a million. What, what, what are you prepared to pony up? Um, I mean, what was fair? Probably like a thousand. Oh, he's going
[0:58:01] Gavin: to do it though. That's he's what, what if it's not money? What if it's something? I don't
[0:58:07] Andrew: know. What do you think, Andrew? I have no idea. I feel weird about the, I'm not going to request money. I do think it's funny that we cut it in half and you cut the amount by 90%.
[0:58:16] Gavin: That was a fascinating move. Well, I was basing it on, I thought I would give 500 for 400,000 and
[0:58:22] Andrew: then you had 500,000. So I just doubled it. Um, I don't know. I did offer rights to my gamer tag. He said I could pick his new gamer tag. Yeah. I can't change it unless that was something I put
[0:58:34] Geoff: up. Now that's interesting. See, I don't like the, I don't like the money angle. I like it's better if it's punishment or something like that. Yeah. Why don't we keep money out of it? I have to do
[0:58:43] Gavin: something if you do it and you have to let me change your gamer tag. If you don't, I, well then
[0:58:48] Andrew: it become, I don't know. We'll think about it. We'll see if we can think of something. All right.
[0:58:52] Geoff: We're in the early stages of this. We're in the, there's, there might be something here. What, what if Gavin, if, if you do it, Gavin can only wear large shirts for two months. No,
[0:59:04] Andrew: that's pretty good. No, pretty good. No, it's not. If I'm buying a hundred and he has to take a,
[0:59:11] Geoff: he has to take a photo in a large shirt and send it to you every day to prove that he's in a large shirt. No, dude, that's not worth it. I think you're underestimating how miserable that's going to make Gavin specifically. Probably. Yeah. I just don't, that's not a trade I would make. Okay. Well, listen, we can keep, keep working behind the scenes to figure this out and maybe we can come up with a solution by next, uh, episode recording, but you're running the clock is ticking while we figure out what, uh, what the reward slash punishments will be. How long have
[0:59:40] Andrew: you had Andrew Penton as a game attack? Uh, uh, 2008. Okay. Hmm. It's been a while, long time,
[0:59:49] Geoff: quite a long time. I would never personally change it. Well, you better, uh, you better get half a
[0:59:53] Andrew: million gamers for them. I can't believe that I'm going to end both of these fucking recordings rushing to play Paw Patrol. That's the shock of the year.
[1:00:03] Gavin: What? So you're already going to be starting before you decided to bet. We talked about that
[1:00:07] Andrew: the previous time. Cause as Jeff said, I'm running low. No, but I said under the assumption that this will be a thing, I need to start getting reps in. I'm running out of time. We're now in Q4. Is
[1:00:18] Gavin: that right? Oh no, that's not true. That's not right. Next month, next month's Q4. Okay. Maybe it's,
[1:00:22] Geoff: maybe it starts Q4. Maybe. Yeah. We'll work it out. We'll figure it out. I think there's something here. Good deal. I think maybe something in person, like maybe Gavin has to deliver something to your door or. I don't know. That doesn't, that doesn't move the needle for me. Gavin having to leave America, get on a plane, go all the way to Canada with his busy schedule to then like, I don't know, clean your bathroom or something. I didn't think of it that way. Yeah. Like it's a, it's an incredible inconvenience and imposition to him. Yeah.
[1:00:48] Andrew: Let me buy a hazmat suit and I'll schedule a lunch and then I'll get a great, I'll get a
[1:00:56] Geoff: a miss a guilt basket. Eric, Eric really wants us to stop talking. He's told us to wrap up 30 times. Uh, so we should probably do that. Thank you for listening to another episode of the face podcast. Number one 20, uh, tune in next week. If, if there's no podcast, it's because I walked away. Bye. Don't walk away. Please don't.
