[0:00:40] Geoff: Hello, and welcome to another piece of Regulation Supplemental content. Today, we are entering into 2026 by shedding our 2025 nicknames. That's right, Gizmo, Mecca Nick, Lil Ricky B, Baby Pepsi, and Gassy Goo are going by the wayside so that we can make room for the 2026 nickname draft.
[0:01:06] Eric: Are you guys ready? I'm ready. I'm ready. I think that the nicknames got really good use last year, and I'm excited to see what 2026 holds. Yeah. They got good use? Yeah, you don't think so? Said them a lot. All right. You don't think they got good use, Gavin?
[0:01:25] Gavin: Yeah, what do you think, Gavin? I feel like we occasionally forgot about them for several months and then got back to them, but yeah.
[0:01:31] Andrew: I was thankful the entire time that mine was Gizmo. I really like Gizmo. I feel bad about losing Gizmo.
[0:01:37] Eric: Dude, I gave you Gizmo. I'm so glad you liked that.
[0:01:41] Andrew: And I am excited to see the new nicknames, but doubt I enjoy whatever mine is as much as I enjoyed Gizmo.
[0:01:50] Gavin: Well, you've got pretty lucky, too. We dodged some bullets last year. Yeah, we did.
[0:01:54] Eric: Yeah, definitely going to keep dodging bullets this year, too. All right, boys. Now, we have to randomize, but we need to figure out how many times we randomize because the order is always an egg order, which is Gizmo, Mechanic. Wow, we're really going to do 26, huh? Yeah, we're going to. All right, here we go. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. That's 10. Lil' Ricky B, Gizmo, Mechanic, Baby Pepsi, and Gassy Goo. That's 16, 16, 16, 16, and 20, which is 16. And that's Gassy Goo, Lil' Ricky B, Gizmo, Mechanic, and Baby Pepsi. And here comes 25. 25, Baby Pepsi, Gassy Goo, Gizmo, Mechanic, and Ricky B. And guys, here is the final order for the names. Lil' Ricky B, Gassy Goo, Baby, Pepsi, Gizmo, and Mechanic. So, I believe the way that we did it last time, if I'm not mistaken, was as I'm the first here, I X myself because I cannot give myself a nickname, and you guys all give me a nickname, and then we go down that list.
[0:02:58] Eric: So, the next one will be us giving a nickname to Gavin and Jeff, Andrew, and then finally Nick. That is the way it will go. After 26 randomizations, we will start with nicknames for Eric, and we start with Gavin.
[0:03:09] Gavin: I feel like last year, I really looked at the names, the original names, the birth names, and I played off that. Whereas, Eric, you just went for just random words.
[0:03:19] Eric: I don't know that they were random. I felt like they sort of, like, Andrew's told Gizmo to me, dude.
[0:03:23] Gavin: Yeah, I mean, they came from your heart, ICU, or your brain. I just looked at who I was providing a name for, and the first thing that came, the gut feeling, the name from my gut. And what I picked for Eric, it's Nugs. Whoa! I like that. Is it 1G or 2? Now, it's 1G, but I would put it to you on whether you want it to be an S or a Z. Ooh, okay.
[0:03:51] Nick: Nick immediately answered me. I felt like it's Z. I had to get it in.
[0:03:56] Eric: Yeah, he's, yeah. Don't worry. You won't be done speaking, and Nick will be giving you the answer. Nugs with a Z. Gavin has given me the nickname Nugs. Will it be, I mean, we'll put it on the wheel when we do this at the end, because they all go on there and spin it. I like it. Dude, if I was big, dude, Nugs, people would be like, oh, what a big Nugs? And then it'd be like, yeah, what's up? This is Nugs. And they're like, oh, is this guy carrying? I'm like, no, man, it's just Nugs. I like that. Hell yeah. See, Gavin's in the spirit of it. This is why last year I think I tried to give him the nickname of, like, Spooky. It is like, he's getting a little spooky. Yeah, I think he's trying to be, I think he's going to be a little spooky. And that's, you know, mixing it up. But that's on the list. Jeff, what's your nickname for Eric?
[0:04:37] Geoff: I'm glad it's my turn, and I'm glad to be able to unveil this nickname. I thought a lot about it long and hard. I spent a year thinking about what it is to be Eric, what it means to be Eric. And I got to be honest with you, I love the Lil in Lil Ricky B, so I'm going to co-opt that and continue with it. But I wanted to pick something that I think exemplifies the natural tension within Eric, you know, the two wolves that live inside Eric. And so I'm going to go with Lil Sketti, S-K-E-T-T-I. Lil Sketti.
[0:05:11] Eric: S-K-E-T-T-T-I.
[0:05:12] Geoff: Lil Sketti.
[0:05:13] Eric: Because Eric has complicated feelings about spaghetti. It's true. They're not super complicated. I don't like it. It's the worst one. But, dude, dude, straight up, I'm fine with angel hair, but here's the thing. Here's the thing. People coming up and being like, oh, shit, Lil Sketti. And I'm about that.
[0:05:27] Geoff: Because if you think about it, what is angel hair but Lil Sketti? But Lil Sketti. That is crazy.
[0:05:34] Eric: Jeff, you're absolutely on it, man. I like it. I like this. Solid. I'm excited. Yeah.
[0:05:38] Gavin: Eric, how do you think that compares with Jeff's pick from you in 2025?
[0:05:42] Eric: I really was worried that I was going to have to do the thing where, because if it was that, again, I was going to have to do the thing where I go, hey, I'm not comfortable doing this draft. Do you know what it would have been?
[0:05:53] Geoff: My initial, my first thought, you didn't like Lil Trump last time. Uh-huh. So I thought about Medium Twump, T-W-U-M-P, but then ultimately I decided instead of Medium Twump to go with Lil Sketti. Lil Sketti.
[0:06:07] Eric: Like Lil Sketti. I like it. It sounds, honestly, Lil Sketti, I hope, gets picked. I know there's two more, but I hope it gets picked because I like saying it the same way I like saying Rizzler. So this all really works. This is good. Uh, but we go to Andrew Gizmo. What is your nickname for me?
[0:06:23] Andrew: My nickname for you? You gave me a great nickname. I wanted to make sure I returned the favor, went into the lab, made sure, did all my due diligence. My proposed nickname for Eric is Big Smooth. What Big Smooth on the board? Oh! Oh! Oh!
[0:06:38] Eric: My God!
[0:06:39] Andrew: Wow, I love that! Eric Big Smooth.
[0:06:41] Eric: Dude, Big Smooth is sick. That's a good one. Damn, you know, when people look at me, they just go, pfft, there's Big Smooth. That's Big Smooth. Oh, hell yeah. Eric can't fail this round of great lists so far. Well, hang on, because it's Nick's turn. So, Nick, what's your nickname for Eric?
[0:07:01] Nick: Well, you may know that on this show, Eric is a bit of a guy who's able to go around and chat with everybody. And on the other show, you may know that he and I have a bit of an antagonistic relationship where I call him short and small. So I'm going with Lil Small Talk.
[0:07:17] Eric: Oh! Hey, I like Lil Small Talk's pretty good. These all feel good. These are good. These are good nicknames, boys.
[0:07:26] Gavin: That's crazy how similar, because my original pick for Eric was Lil Yappy.
[0:07:31] Eric: Whoa! Oh, wow, you guys were right there. Oh, man, I love that one. Wow, you guys were right there. Lil Yappy!
[0:07:37] Gavin: But then, Nugs just took over for me. I don't know why.
[0:07:40] Eric: Yeah, did you guys have any other honorable mentions for Eric? Any other nicknames that you wrote down? You heard mine. Shorty? No, I felt really good with mine, so I just... Okay, I like it. Dude, this is exciting. So those are my four, Nugs, Lil Skitty, Big Smooth, and Lil Small Talk. But now we go to Gavin. Gavin, who's Gassy Goo, had some very interesting picks last year. But this year, I'm really... I'm going to give you your first nickname. And I do... There's something about this that resonates with me. I was thinking about it. I wrote some others, and then I deleted them. And then I rewrote them. And then I kept coming back to this one. Gavin, for 2026, I want your nickname to be Trigger Man. Whoa! Something about... Something about Gavin where I'm just like, Oh, dude, he's fingers on the Trigger Man. This is the Trigger Man right there.
[0:08:30] Geoff: Like, that's...
[0:08:31] Eric: You can always count on him. In trouble, here comes the Trigger Man. That's... Oh, quick to it.
[0:08:37] Andrew: I like Trigger Man.
[0:08:39] Eric: Gavin, how do you feel about Trigger Man? I love that. Oh, cool.
[0:08:42] Gavin: I'd be happy if the wheel landed on that.
[0:08:44] Eric: Oh, great. Great, great, great. Well, Trigger Man is the first one. But, Gavin, you don't give yourself a nickname. So, Jeff, we go to you. What is Gavin's nickname?
[0:08:53] Geoff: If there's one thing that defined Gavin in the year 2025, I think it would be his inability, complete and utter inability to promote his own podcast at any point in time. Whether he's on an Australian morning show or whether he's taking photos in front of his own billboard at Times Square, not in regulation clothing, Gavin has an amazing ability not to try to assist or help this podcast succeed in any way whatsoever. So, I'm going to take the work... I'm going to take the onus off of Gavin so that he doesn't have to do the work. I'm going to do it for him. So, for the year 2026, I'm lobbying that Gavin's nickname be Gavin, listen to the regulation podcast free.
[0:09:38] Andrew: Whoa! Wow! Takes the pressure off.
[0:09:41] Eric: So, we're doing... It's the whole thing. Yeah. Okay. Wow! That's a long title. Yeah. But, it's good. Am I putting... Is it like quotes? Yeah, I put it in quotes like that, yeah. Like that? Okay, cool. Okay. Okay, Gavin, quote, listen to the regulation podcast, end quote, free. That's a... You know, sometimes, sometimes nicknames are a little bit longer than your regular name. Yeah.
[0:10:02] Geoff: It's true. It can be. That's how it works sometimes. It was either going to be that or ask me about my small talk.
[0:10:10] Andrew: No, in Gavin's defense, it isn't just regulation. He's just bad at promoting everything that he does.
[0:10:17] Gavin: I've made my show for, well, 15 years, and I'm pretty sure in every video, I'm wearing an Achievement Hunter shirt. Yeah, it's dead. Stop promoting it. Yeah, well, it didn't work. You need to promote this now. Did a real solid job, I thought.
[0:10:34] Andrew: I guess I would maybe counter that you got a bunch of free shirts and you wore the shirts that you got for free.
[0:10:41] Eric: That's true.
[0:10:42] Andrew: Yeah. And it was less about you making an effort. I just assume your entire closet was Achievement Hunter shirts. It was.
[0:10:50] Gavin: Well, it's because that's what I chose to wear. Because you got them for free.
[0:10:54] Eric: So you're just not choosing not to wear any of ours. You just choose.
[0:10:58] Gavin: I mean, I got a free pair of Heelys. You don't see me gliding around on them.
[0:11:02] Eric: Why not? Well, yeah, but you're promoting Heelys now. on this thing, so I don't really get that. Yeah. Well, Jeff is taking the mantle over for you promoting this podcast. You don't have to worry about it anymore. I took care of it for you. Yeah, yeah. But Gizmo, Andrew, you get to give Gavin a nickname next.
[0:11:20] Andrew: No, you talked about Gavin going with your gut and really feeling it. And I did a similar thing for you where I don't have an explanation as to why you would be called this. I don't know why it resonated with me. But it's the first thing that came to mind and I feel like it fits you well for reasons unknown. My nickname for you is Quizno.
[0:11:44] Geoff: Oh, interesting. I love that. I love that.
[0:11:49] Andrew: Quizno from Gizmo? Yeah. Some Quizno from Gizmo. I don't know why, but I just, I stared at your name and it spoke to me. Quizno. Gavin Quizno free.
[0:12:04] Eric: Big Quizno, man. That's Quizno. Big Quizno. That right there? That right there. That's Quizno, baby. That's Quizno over there. That's Quizno. Oh, here comes Quizno. Well, Gavin, how do you feel about Quizno?
[0:12:18] Gavin: I kind of like it. Okay. It rolls off the tongue a lot easier than the last one. It's fun to say. Yeah, it's true.
[0:12:24] Geoff: And it conjures up this image that I posted. Well, yeah. We are back.
[0:12:30] Eric: Gavin, we do know that you love the subs. We love these subs. So this is good. This really works out. But finally, Nick, you're going to give Gavin a nickname.
[0:12:40] Nick: This was a gut feeling. It's the only one I wrote down. There were variations I thought of, but this is the one I wrote down and it's very similar to Jeff's reasoning here. I'm going with the promoter.
[0:12:56] Andrew: My favorite promotion related thing about Gavin of the past year is learning that the Slow Mo guys has a Patreon through our subreddit and not just from knowing him. And then seeing the announcement and seeing that you just put it in the back half of the video instead of putting it front and center. I was like, this is so Gavin and I love that.
[0:13:25] Gavin: You know, content first.
[0:13:27] Eric: Content first. And that's what you can expect at patreon.com slash the Slow Mo guys. Is that right?
[0:13:36] Geoff: And maybe in 2027 a new nickname, Gavin content first free.
[0:13:43] Eric: Well, there you have it. Gavin's nicknames Trigger Man, Gavin listen to the regulation podcast free Quizno and the promoter. Those are Gavin's nicknames. Yeah, it was pretty good. Jeff, you were baby Pepsi for a year. How did you feel about baby Pepsi?
[0:13:58] Geoff: I loved it, man. I felt like it exemplified everything about me in two words.
[0:14:05] Eric: That's great. Well, I believe that was a nickname I gave you. So I felt really good about it. I liked it. So I wanted to give you another one that I felt really good about. And this is this just it made sense to me. I don't know that anyone else like everyone. I don't really get it. That's fine. There's nothing really to get. This just felt like Jeff and to me, that's big stepper.
[0:14:27] Geoff: I'll take it. I like it.
[0:14:29] Eric: Yeah, Jeff Jeff coming through big stepper style. Yeah, it just it feels right. I have some other ones written down to some ones that I didn't go with that were for play, but that's what the number for I was gonna go with that or my other one was Jeff the frog. I'll say I like big steppers the winner. I thought so too. I thought so too. But that that's my nickname for Jeff Gavin. If if Jeff has his way, your nickname is Gavin. Listen to the regulation podcast free. What's your nickname for Jeff?
[0:15:04] Gavin: It's just so incredibly similar. I can't believe it. I'm sorry. Look to Jeff and I just yeah, that's big time.
[0:15:13] Andrew: Big time. Oh, really?
[0:15:15] Gavin: Just big time.
[0:15:16] Nick: That's also great. Oh, yeah,
[0:15:18] Eric: these are good. Dude, big stepper or big time. Damn, that's pretty impressive. You can't lose. I like that. That's pretty good. Big, big time. Did you have any other honorable mentions there for Jeff?
[0:15:33] Gavin: Big money and I think big, big slop was in there too.
[0:15:37] Geoff: Big slop. Well, big slop is because I was thinking about
[0:15:41] Gavin: I was thinking about Jeff's first Google search or search. I did search was I believe sloppy pussy.
[0:15:47] Geoff: Was it my first internet search? It was the guy we were showing the internet to. It was his first search. We were horrified and delighted.
[0:15:58] Unidentified: Oh,
[0:15:58] Geoff: man. To be fair, I never searched that. He did. On a girl's computer in front of her.
[0:16:05] Eric: Oh,
[0:16:05] Geoff: God.
[0:16:07] Eric: Jesus Christ. Well, baby Pepsi can't give himself a nickname. So we move on to Gizmo. Andrew, what is your nickname for Jeff?
[0:16:15] Andrew: Once again, I did my due diligence on this. I thought about Jeff sort of like how you talked about representative of Gavin in 2025. I thought about when I think of Jeff, what do I think of as far as the past year goes? And to me, you firmly established yourself as a hot dog guy. So my nickname for you is Poncho, Spanish word for hot dog like that. P-A-N-C-H-O P-A-N-C-H-O P-A-N Poncho. It sounds cool. It's representative of you. I looked at a list of a whole bunch of languages what their version of hot dog is and that was by far the coolest and I thought it fit. Thanks. I like Poncho.
[0:17:01] Eric: That's phenomenal. That's cool. That's great. This is good. This is awesome. What a feel-good episode. One more nickname from Nick for Jeff. Nick, what are you naming Jeff this year?
[0:17:14] Nick: I went through a couple of iterations and thoughts on what Jeff could be and this one stuck with me every time. I kept coming back to it. Jeff has a sweet tooth. He loves to set people up by putting candy in the office and you'd love to eat that candy. So I'm going to call him the candy man.
[0:17:29] Geoff: Oh, candy man. Not like the guy who loves
[0:17:35] Nick: candy. Shares the candy.
[0:17:37] Eric: It's the candy man. We have to add a row, don't we? We do have to add a row. Hopefully it's with us. Yay! Incredible. But these are Jeff's nicknames, potentially. Big Stepper, Big Time, Poncho, and the candy man. Those are four good names. But we have to go to Gizmo, Andrew. Andrew, I will be the first one to give you a nickname for this year. High bar from last year. Yeah, look, I don't think you're going to like it nearly as much as Gizmo. I think Gizmo just had the juice, man. It did. It had the juice. But this to me, I was thinking what made me think of Andrew, where you're at, what you do, the things you bring to us. And to me, especially right now, when I think Andrew, I think Mantraker.
[0:18:31] Andrew: Yeah! Yes! It's a good one.
[0:18:36] Eric: Andrew, you could be Mantraker for all 2026. How does that make you feel?
[0:18:40] Andrew: Just tracking down all the people, I guess. I mean, he tracked more than men. It feels kind of strangely specific. But, you know what, deep down, I've always wanted to learn how to track. I think that's interesting. There you go. The potential there. Yeah, a lot of potential there. Andrew, the Mantraker Panton? I think that works. Think about
[0:19:02] Gavin: it. I think that works. You might have to wear socks for that.
[0:19:08] Eric: We can't tell the Mantraker how to operate. We can simply name the Mantraker. Because that's
[0:19:12] Andrew: how I always differentiate my feet from whatever the print is. No shoe. I see my bare foot in the mud. I know that was me. This foot used to have a sock on it.
[0:19:24] Geoff: I think I saw somewhere on Reddit or in a chat that Mantraker was in Last of Us.
[0:19:30] Eric: Really? The TV show
[0:19:32] Geoff: in season one.
[0:19:34] Eric: Cool. That's crazy. Way to go Mantraker. Tracking his way on a TV. Prime presents

[0:22:25] Geoff: very excited I think this is my best nickname and the one that I feel the best about I wanted Andrew means a lot to me he means a lot to all of us and love of film and so I've combined that into the nickname C Papa Smurf exactly like that

[0:23:27] Nick: that's great
[0:23:28] Eric: Andrew you can't give yourself a nickname because those are the rules but Nick can give you a nickname in 2026 Nick what would that nickname be we've talked a lot about Dill Kong we've
[0:23:38] Nick: talked about the Dill bot but this past year we also learned that Andrew is a big movie theater popcorn guy so I'm going with Dilly Pop
[0:23:48] Andrew: whoa Dilly Pop Dilly Pop Dilly Pop Dilly
[0:23:55] Gavin: Pop Dilly Pop
[0:23:57] Geoff: Dilly

[0:24:42] Geoff: after after we settle on everybody's individual nickname we should then each person should create their own official dirt bag soda or that name
[0:24:51] Eric: oh that's a fun idea and then we can write down the recipes and share it with the audience
[0:24:55] Geoff: and stuff yeah it's
[0:24:55] Eric: a great idea way to go and now finally the last nickname for 2026 this will be for the mechanic for Nick I will be giving you a nickname first and look we are adversarial on a different show but on this show I respect what you do and the way you get it putting it all together no matter what happens little scrappy gets it done oh
[0:25:28] Gavin: wow
[0:25:28] Eric: I love that yeah little scrappy see even when Gavin says it it sounds cool wow yep yep there you go hey dude little scrappies on the board that would be my nickname for Nick but it's not just up to me because Gavin you could give Nick a nickname
[0:25:48] Gavin: what would that be well I've been trialing you might recall that during a recent Mario party this one was censored in a slightly unfortunate way but it was it was Milfer
[0:26:05] Eric: like that that was very
[0:26:12] Nick: unfortunate
[0:26:12] Eric: well
[0:26:19] Andrew: curious to see if we get more Milfer related nicknames could be could be could be
[0:26:25] Eric: could be a little scrappy could be Milfer or it could be something that baby Pepsi is picking here Jeff what's your nickname for Nick in 2026 man
[0:26:35] Geoff: I wish I could say I was on the milf side of the spectrum with what dog he was in that moment and I was thinking about how adventurous he is with food and how he's always up to try new things and anytime we throw any kind of a weird combination of he pipes up in because he wants to eat scrapple and so you know little
[0:27:26] Gavin: scrappy and scrapple dog very similar
[0:27:29] Eric: there's a lot here there's a there's very scrap heavy for Nick but Nick it's not just these three nicknames that you have to contend on it
[0:27:53] Andrew: great guy always so pleasant awesome it's good person when I think of Nick if you were to put it in wrestling terms there's there's no there's no doubt that he is a baby face but he also loves milfs he's a big milf guy and you can't be a milf without having a
[0:28:25] Gavin: nickname
[0:28:26] Eric: so
[0:28:26] Unidentified: scary
[0:28:27] Andrew: baby face schwartz
[0:28:28] Eric: yeah no no I like it I think baby face is good so Nick's nicknames potentially little scrappy milfer scrapple dog and baby face were there any other honorable mentions for Nick no
