[0:00:30] Andrew: Hello and welcome to another Regulation Supplemental. We are here with takes episode, I don't know, five? Something. Four? I think five. Four? Five? We did a holiday one, so it's like I lost track. So many takes. Such little time. Today I'm joined with Eric, Geoff, and Nick. Hello. How are you guys feeling about your takes this episode? Oh, feeling good. Fantastic. I feel okay. I don't think my takes are that hot in this episode. I think Nick is going to have some hot takes, though.
[0:00:59] Eric: I got some hot ones. I'm excited to hear Nick's, Nick. Yeah, actually. On the road, getting takes. Nick, do you want to go first? I'd love to. You were most excited about your takes, and then you said they were from your last trip, so I'm very curious.
[0:01:12] Nick: I don't know if I'm excited about this take so much as I feel it's an important take, and I feel like most people should adhere to this. So, went to Disney World with the family and had a wonderful time, you know, kids being kids aside, where they're like, I don't want to ride the ride. I do want to ride the ride. You know, that shit. But I have noticed a problem when you go to the bathroom at these places, and that is this. Gentlemen, please raise the seat when you take a piss. Do not piss while the seat is lowered. It has made it disgusting for the people who will follow you, even if they're just there to take a piss as well. Please refrain from emptying your bladder until you have lifted the seat and made it cleaner for everyone after you. Is this? Thank you. Is this like a hot take?
[0:02:08] Geoff: Nick's hot take is use the bathroom properly. Yeah.
[0:02:12] Nick: Not like a fucking animal. Here's the thing, Jeff, apparently, in 2025, most people fucking don't. Well, here's... Because let me tell you, there are some piss-soaked seats, my man.
[0:02:22] Andrew: Is why is this a Disney World-specific problem? I feel like this is every public bathroom. Are you saying that Disney World is worse than the average public bathroom?
[0:02:32] Nick: I would say that I don't often probably use a public bathroom as much. I see. Or if I do, I'm at the urinal, maybe? I don't know. But in this instance, toilet seats, I have a kid in tow. I got to clean that shit before he can sit on it. You know what I'm saying? So, please follow the regulations of the bathroom. Are those the regulations of the bathroom?
[0:02:56] Geoff: Yeah, lift the seat. Was this Disney World or Disneyland? World. Okay, cool. Just FYI, I follow a dude on TikTok who rates Disney World bathrooms and tells you the best ones to go for different things. So, I'm going to send that to you after this to hook you up.
[0:03:11] Nick: Please do. If you could send it to me two weeks ago, that'd be awesome. No problem. Next time you go there in 2029, you will be prepped.
[0:03:19] Eric: What was the most egregious of the bathrooms?
[0:03:22] Nick: Oh, just, they're just coated, dude. Like, not even dribbles. Just, like, seated liquid.
[0:03:31] Andrew: No, did you try multiple bathrooms in different sections of the park? And if so, was one worse than the other? Did you avoid it?
[0:03:38] Nick: Well, I'll tell you this. It happened frequently enough to where I thought of this every single day and added it as a note on the final day. Yeah, it happened often enough that I had noticed it every single day of the trip, and we were there for six days.
[0:03:52] Geoff: People are such fucking animals in public bathrooms. Nick, this reminds me of a time when I was 19 years old, and I went to a coffee shop in Austin. That's when I was in the Army. And there was a line to go to the bathroom. It's like two in the morning. You know, it's a bunch of college students. There was a line to go to the bathroom, and the guy in front of me was just this kind of a gross dude, kind of a hippie dude. And the lady, whoever goes out, he goes in. He's in for a while. He comes out laughing to himself, which was really weird to me. And he just, as he walks out, he looks at me, and he goes, sprinkler. And I don't know what that means, right? Then I walk into the bathroom, and I realize the guy had stood in the middle of the bathroom and just pissed in an arc in a circle and covered all the walls and the ground and the sink and the mirror with piss. And then I had to walk out of the bathroom and be like, I swear to God, this isn't me. I was mortified, and I wasn't going to clean up some other guy's piss. But I remember just thinking, like, the longer I'm in here, the more guilty I look. I still have to go to the bathroom. I don't want to touch it. It was just like a fucking nightmare.
[0:04:52] Geoff: And there was a line of people behind me, and I'm like, it's all fucked up in there. Don't go in there. I didn't do that. I don't know what to do. I just left.
[0:04:56] Nick: But you've added an interesting point, because if I was in one of those stalls and I looked down, I was like, I don't want to deal with this, and we'll go to the next one, but it's really busy. Then I'm like, oh, they're going to think that I'm the guy who did this. I'm the seat pisser. I'm the monster. I'm the seat pisser.
[0:05:14] Andrew: Did you track Mickey down in the park and let him know as the big man in charge what was going on?
[0:05:19] Nick: I tried to tell him. He just went, oh, fuck off. He said that to you? Well, it was hard to understand him.
[0:05:25] Eric: Oh, okay, cool. What was the most, what was probably the biggest celebrity Disney character that you saw while you were there?
[0:05:33] Nick: Oh, the biggest celebrity Disney character. Did you see Mickey?
[0:05:37] Eric: Was he there or no?
[0:05:38] Nick: Oh, yeah. We saw Mickey. Jack Skellington was there. That was pretty cool. He was there for the holiday party. He was having a good time.
[0:05:44] Geoff: For the oogie boogie bash or whatever?
[0:05:47] Nick: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So we got to see him. Archie wanted to meet him, and then he didn't. So that was cool. Are you scared type situation? Yeah. Or just overwhelmed? No, it's one of those like, oh, I love the concept and the idea, and I love that movie. And then he saw him in person. He's like, I don't want to meet him. Too big. Which character would you say Archie was happiest to meet? He didn't. None of them? He didn't meet any of them? No. No, the last time we went, he was super excited. This time? Nah. Didn't want him. What? Nothing to do with him. Yep. Well, I guess he had his fill. He had his fill. Maybe he was disgusted by the pee. I don't know. Do you think he didn't want to meet Chip and Dale because they have all the piss seats?
[0:06:29] Andrew: Yeah. Piss queue rangers. They'd rescue you from those bathrooms.
[0:06:34] Nick: Yeah, that's right. Get me out of here. So your hot take is don't piss on the seat.
[0:06:39] Unidentified: Yeah. Was that at least the lowest light of your trip, Nick? Yeah, I'd say so. Yeah. Okay. It happened consistently enough to where it became the lowest light. Yeah, for sure. I'd say that's a pretty good trip then. Yeah. It was a good trip. It was a fun trip. Well, that's Nick's first take.
[0:06:59] Eric: That was a good one. Does anyone want to say who wants to go next? Does anyone feel like they have a good one?
[0:07:02] Andrew: Uh, I have one aligned with Disney a little bit. Oh, ooh. Oh, yeah, Andrew. Perfect segue. The Marvel, the Marvel company. Uh-huh. They are. My take. And I don't know. I, as someone, you know, Jeff, the expert in this field, maybe he can tell me if this is a hot take or not. But my take is Marvel needs to stop building universe, like movie universes. Yes. Because I'm not watching any of them because of it. I'm so sick of all of these movies being connected to build to something bigger. I don't care about the bigger. I just want good individual movies. I haven't seen the Fantastic Four or the new Avengers because I don't want to commit to the eight other movies I didn't see. I just don't want that baggage. So I'm just not watching any of them because they all feel like they're building towards something bigger.
[0:07:53] Geoff: I agree completely with you. I also don't want any more of these movies and I don't appreciate the interconnectivity of it. But I will say in the defense of comic books, it's the most comic book fucking thing in the world to do. Like it is how comics work. Every comic ends with like to catch the full story, tune into Amazing Spider-Man 324 next week. Nuff said. And it's all just a scam to get you to buy the next book. So it's pretty consistent with how the comics actually work, but it's also I'm right there with you. I just who you feel like you need a flow chart to understand what's going on in the film you're about to watch.
[0:08:30] Andrew: It's just like a huge commitment and I don't feel like it's working like I just, you know, I have no idea, but I don't feel like this generation of kids is into the Avengers in the same way that the last was with what I totally agree with you, but I don't think that
[0:08:48] Eric: it's a, I think that they have gotten so off track with it because the initial kick of, hey, we're going to do these superhero movies wasn't, hey, we're going to make Iron Man and Captain America and Thor, like they like didn't announce all this stuff and go like, hey, and these are all interconnected and they're going to lead to this and then they're going to lead to this. That stuff all came later. And so the magic of what the initial sort of like multiverse, because man, I was super in it. Like I was excited as a comic book fan to like see that in movies because it was something we hadn't done before and it felt like this thing that fans had asked for for so long and now you are seeing ultimately what happens when you give nerds what they want. It's that they want candy for dinner and they don't know when enough is enough. And so the cool thing that was the cool thing is no longer cool because it's not earned anymore.
[0:09:51] Eric: And they're just going, hey guys, Shang-Chi is going to lead into a daredevil reboot. And I'm like, I don't care about these characters at all. And now I really don't care about the characters that lead into other characters that I don't care about. Nothing is earned. Nothing's nothing's exciting. And you just see a roadmap of stuff that you could not care less about. And I'm a hundred percent with you, Andrew.
[0:10:12] Geoff: I think part of that too, though, is because now the stuff they're making only appeals to the nerds, whereas the original run of Marvel movies appealed to everybody. There was broad appeal. And I think that speaks to that initial charm you were talking about. But it also goes to the other big problem with comic books to me, which is they just don't know when to end shit. They should have ended it with Thanos and gone dark for four years and said, we'll be back in four years with another reimagining instead of stringing people out with television shows that get one season, maybe two, and a bunch of movies that just perform worse than the last movie than the last movie, because it is just diminishing returns to a diminishing audience because they're not bringing in the general audience anymore. And there's not enough nerd audience to support five Marvel movies a year. Yep.
[0:10:59] Nick: They also they also all suffer now from that Ragnarok problem where each one has to be funny. Yeah. Like super comical comedic bits. And otherwise like and, you know, you can have those in certain movies, but I feel like a lot of them have like a grim tone in some instances. And it's like you kind of want to lean into that a little bit more, you know, more like the old when they did Winter Soldier and and like this Captain America movies. They had their funny moments, but it wasn't like all campy funny bits.
[0:11:27] Eric: Yeah, I mean, the whole thing, the reason that Guardians of the Galaxy stood out is because it was different from everything else. And now everything is just trying to be Guardians of the Galaxy.
[0:11:35] Geoff: And that's a great point.
[0:11:36] Eric: It's like, boy, we don't know. I like the Captain America thing for Captain America. That was fun. And then I think also like because Andrew, I totally agree with you that it is just like it's too much and I don't care the magic of what 27 movies that all culminate into like one big experience in one big moment was so like what a what an incredible thing that we were able. I don't know if people really understand like the magnitude of like how cool it was that that actually happened one time and it was definitely like not the plan at the very beginning, but that is where it was like willed. That is really cool. But now from the beginning, they're just going, yeah, we're going to do 27 movies again. And it's like, no, you're fucking not like the magic isn't there. Like there it's really missing like a spark.
[0:12:25] Geoff: It's just they just they were fucking screwed over by their own success. And they just had they had to felt like they had to and it's not just Marvel. Honestly, it's Star Wars did the same fucking thing. Oh, yeah, sure. Did DC tried so hard to do it, you know, and they just couldn't catch enough footing to get successful enough to ruin it. Trying it now, Jeff. I know they're trying.
[0:12:48] Eric: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just in time for for it to get sold again. But to who? Yeah, exactly.
[0:12:55] Geoff: It's part of it's I think it's part of why I think of Evil Dead is my favorite all time franchise because I just, you know, they haven't ruined it for me yet.
[0:13:04] Eric: Yeah, yeah. But I agree with you, Andrew. I think this is I think this is a good take that I think largely people will agree with it, but I think there's going to be some people who really don't agree with it.
[0:13:14] Andrew: Yeah, I think there are people that still really like that. But I look at a movie like the Fantastic Four and I refuse to watch it because I just know that that like there will be things that I need to watch eight other movies for in connection to that. And I just don't want to make that commitment.
[0:13:29] Eric: Yep. And I didn't I ended up not seeing that movie also because of that. I was really excited about it when like the first trailer came out and then it turned into, oh, yeah, it's going to lead into all these things. And I just went, oh, I don't care about any of these things.
[0:13:41] Andrew: I know I was in a vacuum of itself. I would have seen it by 100 percent.
[0:13:47] Geoff: Yeah, I didn't see it because I didn't want to give one of you guys the money. I don't remember.
[0:13:52] Andrew: Damn you, Jeff. I needed it.
[0:13:54] Geoff: You know what? I wish I did see. I don't know who got it, but you were right, Andrew. That not to get off on a tangent, but that fight or flight movie is tremendous. So good. Really? So good. Oh, my God. I'm good. Andrew told me to watch it. I sat down and I couldn't I couldn't stop. It was so good. Josh. It was fantastic. Really? I don't like him. I don't like him. And he is fantastic.
[0:14:15] Andrew: So great in it. It was so good. I thought about making it a blindside to force all you guys to watch it. And then Jeff watched it. And I went, OK, I'm not going to do that. But God damn, is that movie fun? Yeah, he's having like a resurgence. I think Josh Hartnett might be back. I think. Hey, you know what? Such interesting career choices. But we get a little it's not let's not go too deep on. Hey, hold on.
[0:14:37] Eric: Hey, Andrew, here's my hot take. Oh, Josh Hartnett's back.
[0:14:44] Geoff: Totally throwing it out the window.
[0:14:47] Eric: Josh Hartnett's back, baby. I think Josh Hartnett might be figuring it out after being gone for a long time in stuff that it is like not worth anyone's time watching or whatever. The stuff starting probably with like Oppenheimer since then. Oh, yeah. Pretty good. If you look, it's Oppenheimer. Trap. He's awesome in Trap. He's so good in Trap. That movie does him a disservice by falling apart in the third act. Shocking. And then you guys are talking about fight or flight. He's in the bear. Like he has stuff. And here's the thing. Here's why I think Josh Hartnett's back. I'm putting this all together, guys. I'm building a car as he's driving down the road. So here's my other half of my hot take. I think Josh Hartnett is who Ryan Reynolds wishes he was because Josh Hartnett has all the pieces and parts, but more of the charisma without having to be Deadpool goofy. He does have that charisma.
[0:15:48] Eric: Damn. There's something about. There is. Whoa. We watched Lucky Number 11 the other day.
[0:15:55] Nick: We did.
[0:15:55] Eric: Me and Nick watched it. Really? Why? It was on Tubi, and I went, I remember this. And we put it on, and I just went, what the fuck was this movie? He's like so. Kansas City Shuffle. He's so fun in it. He's great. Like, that movie does a disservice to him. Because, yeah, exactly. Because he's very charismatic in it. Yeah. It's what I call baby's first movie where it is. Sure. It feels like you had 18 years to write a screenplay. So you put every joke and every trick you've ever, like, thought of into, like, one script. And then somebody goes, can you do it again? You go, yeah. And then you can't do it again. It's like that, like Seven Psychopaths and, like, all this stuff. Like, that's the kind of movie it is. But Josh Hartnett's, like, really fun in it. Josh Hartnett's back. Josh Hartnett is back. That's my take.
[0:16:40] Andrew: Such an interesting comparable him to Ryan Reynolds. Because Ryan Reynolds did have, I feel like Josh Hartnett makes really interesting choices at this stage of his career as an actor compared to, Ryan Reynolds had that, like, 10 years ago where he had a run of, like, The Voices and Buried is an interesting idea for a movie. Yes. Yeah. And Mississippi Grind. Like, he did kind of these interesting character side pieces. And now it feels like he's in almost a wealth extraction phase of his own self. Yes. Where it's just trying to make as much money at all times. He's just being himself in all of it.
[0:17:15] Geoff: Has Josh Hartnett ever been a superhero?
[0:17:19] Eric: I don't. That's a great question. If not, he's one of the few. He was pretty superhuman in Black Hawk Down. Oh, yeah. He sure was. Black Hawk Down. He kind of, I don't, uh, are vampires superhuman? I was going to say, there's 30 Days at Night, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
[0:17:38] Geoff: That was a Marvel comic, actually, I believe, 30 Days at Night. Really? That's probably the closest he got there was. I think it was, I think 30 Days at Night was based on a comic book series.
[0:17:46] Eric: Yeah.
[0:17:46] Nick: It was a comic, yeah. Yeah.
[0:17:47] Eric: I mean, it is pretty superhuman in 40 Days and 40 Nights to not come for 40 Days and 40 Nights. Wow. What a great story, too. I mean, that's pretty, that's pretty, you can ask Jeff, that's pretty superhuman.
[0:17:56] Nick: Oh, I confused the two. You got to be careful. I don't salute for Black Hawk Down, but I salute for that. That's what I'm saying.
[0:18:03] Andrew: Oh, God. He just, I, I was thinking about his career where I feel like he, he went through the phase of, like, Teen Bop type movie, like, very popcorn-y, flaky, and then he stopped acting, I think, by choice. I think he just wanted a break. He, he's in stuff throughout.
[0:18:21] Eric: So, if you look at his IMDb, he's in stuff, like, almost every year, but none of it is, like, big, big blockbuster starring stuff. He's just like, I'll take this, I'll take this. It's almost kind of like one project, maybe two projects a year that aren't very big, and then he starts ramping up in, like, 2020, 2021, but none of it's big. But since Oppenheimer, dude, I really think people should, I, like, recommend Trap up until you get to that third act and you can really watch it fall apart. Dude, Trap rocks. It is really fun. It's really fucking fun. But the other thing that my wife brought up about Josh Hartnett is that she said that I think he would be more popular if he told everyone that he was 6'3". He's 6'3". They, I had no idea he was so fucking tall. He should tell everyone he's 6'3". That's incredible.
[0:19:17] Andrew: What the fuck? It's pretty good. There's a moment in Fight or Flight that I've never seen any movie do that I keep thinking about, if it would even work, where there's a scene where he ingests adrenaline by drinking it out of a bottle, as opposed to, like, I've only ever seen it, like, syringe use. I don't think that's how that works at all. What? I don't think it works, but I'm just, I'm so curious, what, how would the body even react to somebody just drinking straight up adrenaline? I think it would make you throw up.
[0:19:46] Geoff: It worked, like, it worked great in the movie.
[0:19:48] Andrew: Oh, it's fantastic. The effects of it are fantastic in the film.
[0:19:51] Geoff: He did make himself throw up earlier, but he didn't use. The adrenaline. He drank soap to throw up earlier.
[0:19:57] Eric: Oh, that'll probably make you throw up also. Yeah. I'll bet.
[0:20:01] Andrew: Yeah.
[0:20:01] Eric: Yeah.
[0:20:02] Andrew: It's one of those movies where the first kill, I believe, is him accidentally killing a guy via fire sprinkler in a bathroom, and it's just like, oh, okay, you're it. Like, it is the clearest, like, this is what this movie is, and you're either in or not.
[0:20:18] Geoff: His fucking reaction in that moment is so well delivered, too. Great movie.
[0:20:24] Eric: All right. I'm going to check out Fight or Flight, but that goes right to my take. Josh Hartnett's back, baby. Great take, Eric. Great take. Thank you. Phenomenal take.
[0:20:32] Andrew: Couldn't agree more.
[0:20:32] Unidentified: Thank you. I love it. Yeah. Prime presents Perfect Pairings. What pairs with Reacher on Prime? Reaching for a sparkling punch delivered with Prime.

Welcome aboard, Via Rail. Please sit and enjoy. Please sit and stretch. Steep. Flip. Or that. And enjoy. Via Rail. Love the way.
[0:21:19] Geoff: I guess it's my turn. Yeah. It is Jeff's turn.
[0:21:22] Unidentified: Sure, yeah, man.
[0:21:23] Geoff: I'm looking at my regulation takes that I have written down, and I can't remember if I've used these or not. I don't think I have, but I think I've done one of these episodes and then one holiday one, and I think the one I did, I came up with new takes in the episode instead of using my prepared one. So. Okay. If this sounds familiar, I apologize, but I don't think it is. I think I'm going to catch some heat for this one, but I think the world is fucking crazy to make the waffle cone the standard cone. I think the cake cone is and always has been the superior cone. No. I would much rather have that ice cream cone than a heavy waffle cone. This is, it's light. It's the perfect amount of crunch. It doesn't take away from the ice cream. No. I think it's fantastic. No. And I don't understand, I don't understand how, I watched the waffle cone, waffle cone. I watched the waffle cone cone. He's grabbing that waffle. I just ascend like a rocket to the moon and in the nineties and suddenly they were
[0:22:26] Geoff: everywhere. And the sugar cone, or sorry, the sugar cone, the, the cake cone is just like sitting on shelves, collecting dust. And I just think it's a, it's a crime. The cake cone is so much better than you remember.
[0:22:37] Nick: I feel like both are acceptable. I think both are like even split because there's sometimes you want like a giant cone with a lot of ice cream and that's where you get the waffle cone. And sometimes you want a little bit of smaller with that perfect crunch that Jeff's talking about. I, but I feel like they're, they both have their merits.
[0:22:56] Andrew: I don't think you can put one above the other. I think the waffle cone is light years ahead of that basic cone.
[0:23:01] Eric: I am so with Andrew, Nick, or like Jeff, I think you're creating Nick, you, Nick is looking for a vessel. Nick, Nick is looking for a vessel to eat ice cream. I don't think I, yeah, I think, I think Nick doesn't care. I think Nick is happy to eat off a cold spoon. Like he doesn't give a shit.
[0:23:15] Geoff: Like I said, I knew this was going to be a hot take and I knew that I would catch a lot of heat for the take and push back. And I accept the pushback. All I can say is I respectfully think you're all wrong. And if you had two of them in front of you and you ate them, I think you wouldn't find yourself enjoying the cake cone more. I think you'd be surprised, but until you have those two cones in front of you, you, we won't be able to make that determination. So we have to do this then.
[0:23:42] Eric: Yes, we do. So we have to do this. We have so clearly know what they both taste like. Yeah, me too. Andrew, Andrew, a hundred percent so much. It's like my wife. Hey, here's the thing. My wife would totally agree with you, Jeff. She is all about the cake cone. She loves it. She keeps cake cones in the house so she can scoop little bits from the pint to the cake cone. Dude, she loves it. I eat them as snacks. No ice cream. I would eat a waffle cone as a snack. Okay. I would never do that. I would eat the waffle cone as a snack.
[0:24:09] Geoff: Okay, now wait, hang on. What the fuck? You eat? Hang on. I just polished off a box of cones last week.
[0:24:19] Andrew: You're insane, I think.
[0:24:21] Geoff: I don't think so. Are you? I think they're fucking delicious.
[0:24:23] Andrew: That's a cheap snack, right?
[0:24:25] Geoff: Like, I feel like those ones are so inexpensive. Oh, yeah. Easy. Not a lot of calories. A lot of crunch.
[0:24:31] Nick: Hold on now. Not a lot of calories, you say?
[0:24:33] Geoff: I don't think so. Hold on. Oh, okay.
[0:24:46] Eric: Cake cone is 20 calories. Cake cone is 20. Sugar cone is 60. Waffle cone is 80. Oh, we're discounting the sugar cone here. These are all great. Hey, listen.
[0:24:56] Geoff: I think we should have all three. I left the sugar cone out because I think people consider the sugar cone and the waffle cone to be interchangeable, and the waffle cone is the better version of it.
[0:25:05] Eric: Nick is defending all ways of eating ice cream. He has, like, no true opinion on this. He just wants to eat ice cream.
[0:25:12] Nick: Well, but here's the thing. I think when we do this test, taste test, we're going to have to find a way to mitigate the problem of eating one before the other because, you know, you get a little, you know, tired. You have to have a palate cleanser or something. Yeah, you got to palate cleanse that shit, yeah.
[0:25:27] Eric: And what is that? What's the palate cleanser?
[0:25:29] Nick: Cheeseburger.
[0:25:30] Unidentified: Okay.
[0:25:33] Eric: This is Nick.
[0:25:34] Geoff: See, the cake cone manages to be yummy while allowing the ice cream to be the star, while allowing the ice cream to distribute and deliver all the sugar, whereas the waffle cone is chock full of six grams of sugar. It's its own thing. The cake cone is like, hey, man, I'm here to showcase your ice cream.
[0:25:53] Eric: I've never eaten a waffle cone and thought the waffle cone was the star of what I was eating.
[0:26:00] Geoff: Well, I would agree because I don't think waffle cones are good. Ever. In my life, I've never thought that. I would probably never eat another waffle cone again.
[0:26:07] Andrew: I just don't. I feel the same way about the cake cones. Like, I wish it was extinct, to be honest. That's what, that's why, that's why takes are takes, you know?
[0:26:17] Geoff: Yeah, I'm going to like something some way. You're going to like something a different way.
[0:26:20] Andrew: That's the beauty of this whole thing we call life. I would pay so much. They could upcharge me so much for a waffle cone, and I would happily take it over a cake cone.
[0:26:29] Eric: I would be, I think I would be just fine with it, too. Like, it, it, I, Jeff, what about a chocolate-dipped waffle cone?
[0:26:37] Geoff: You know, I'm not big in chocolate, so it doesn't really do any, so it doesn't really add anything. You know what's weird?
[0:26:43] Eric: Neither is Gracie. Gracie is super against chocolate. Like, she, like, won't eat it. It's like she's allergic to it. It's weird. Yeah, it's very weird. Yeah. But I just, dude, I don't, I, again, my wife would agree with you, but I think this is crazy. Like, it's, it's just like. It's like eating styrofoam. It's like eating packing peanuts at the end of your ice cream. No.
[0:27:06] Andrew: No. For me, it would be like saying paper cups are the only cups we should have. Like, there's, there's clearly, there's so much better alternatives of a thing.
[0:27:14] Geoff: Well, certainly within your opinion, that would be correct, yes. But the beauty of the regulation take is that I'm allowed to have my own regulation take, and it can be right for me.
[0:27:23] Andrew: You know what would be funny to do a regulation takes where we all have to hold the opinions of somebody else? Ooh! We all have to pretend to be someone else's opinions, how we interpret, and they would react to the thing. Oh, interesting.
[0:27:36] Geoff: Like a debate club.
[0:27:38] Andrew: Oh, I like, yeah!
[0:27:40] Nick: Regulation debate. So, the downside, Jeff, to a cake cone, though, is sometimes they got that, that wrap around it, you know, the paper wrap, and when you peel it off, the glue stays on there, and you're eating that at the end. That's the downside of the cake cone.
[0:27:54] Geoff: Now, that's not a problem if you're buying them in a box at the store and bringing them home. That's only a problem if you go to, like, an ice cream shop and they have it already on there, which I agree, it can be a problem. But, you know, I've also had waffle cones that have had that shit around it, too. Oh, I've never had that problem.
[0:28:10] Eric: I just think, I think this is an age thing. I think Jeff went to Thrifty's in Save-On when he was a kid and got the cake cone.
[0:28:16] Geoff: I don't know what either of those things are.
[0:28:19] Eric: The local drugstore. You went to the local drugstore, they were scooping ice cream and slinging them on cake cones. I think that you were not the right age for the, for the hype, for the, the new wave of ice cream with the waffle cone. I just think you missed the boat.
[0:28:34] Geoff: I, I think, I think I saw the boat and I was old enough to see it take off and I didn't want to be on it. Right. I think if anything, I have, I have, I have a wealth of experience to draw from because I saw the rise of the waffle cone. I wasn't just something I was born with. So straddling both worlds, I feel like my opinion probably matters more.
[0:28:55] Eric: Straddling both worlds.
[0:28:57] Andrew: What I will say is absolute defender of the waffle cone. Love it. In my opinion, best cone. Hate the waffle bowl. Get the waffle bowl out of here.
[0:29:06] Nick: No, that's the, that's even better.
[0:29:07] Andrew: No, the waffle bowl is right there with you, Andrew. It's too much. It's too big. It's not like a fun, you can't eat it in a fun way. Like it's just, it's too much ice cream.
[0:29:17] Eric: Nick is using the waffle bowl. Eat the ice cream, nibble the sides. It's so funny. Watching Nick just defend every way to eat ice cream.
[0:29:25] Unidentified: What do you mean?
[0:29:27] Nick: Eat it straight from the carton. I don't give a shit. Let's go.
[0:29:30] Andrew: It's just, I just don't like it because it's implying that the ice cream will melt. Uh huh. Like you need.
[0:29:37] Eric: I don't, I don't think we need a waffle bowl. I don't need a waffle bowl.
[0:29:42] Andrew: If I'm going to do that, I'll just have, I'll have the cup. If I was going to get rid of one of these cones, the first one I would get rid of is the waffle bowl.
[0:29:49] Eric: Oh, I agree. I think waffle bowl. Yeah. Jeff, rank them. Which one are you getting rid of first?
[0:29:55] Geoff: Uh, I'm getting rid of the waffle bowl first. Okay. And then I'm getting rid of the waffle cone and then the sugar cone.
[0:30:00] Eric: You take a sugar cone over a waffle cone.
[0:30:03] Geoff: I mean, six dozen, uh, six of one half does the other. It's, they're almost interchangeable to me. I, uh, I, yeah, I don't know. I don't, I, I could go. Sure. I'll go the other way. A sugar, then waffle, then cake. It doesn't really matter. They're the same. They, they disappoint me in the equal measure. Oh, that's sad. So I'm, I'm, I'm okay with it. I don't feel sad about it at all.
[0:30:30] Unidentified: I do for you. Dang.
[0:30:32] Nick: Hey, Jeff, it's a hot take, man.
[0:30:34] Andrew: I think it's a hot take. I just need to lean up with a cake cone. That's a great hot take. That is good. Yeah. I mean, it's good. I'm excited to hear the reaction of people.
[0:30:40] Geoff: Oh, it's me. So that the audience will never be on my side. Oh, Jeff.
[0:30:45] Andrew: No, Jeff.
[0:30:45] Geoff: What if, yeah, but what if Gavin said this? If I delivered that in a British accent, I might've stood a chance.
[0:30:51] Nick: Don't eat the cake cone. Oh, wait, no, eat the cake cone. Hold on. Sorry.
[0:30:54] Andrew: I feel I can follow up. Oh, okay. Spirit somewhat. Yeah. Oh, of Jake's or Jeff's take. Way to go.
[0:31:05] Eric: What? I'm sorry.
[0:31:07] Andrew: I opened my phone and I had a message on it. That's what happened. I was trying to open to get to my notes again. My take. And this, this may be controversial, maybe hot take. I think bandwagon haters need to step up. I think that there is a gatekeeping, a bandwagon fandom that does not exist in bandwagon hating. Oh, and I think it lessens the hate of the thing. It makes it feel more artificial. I don't think haters are weeding out the bandwagoners to the extent they should. My example for something like this is like nickelback is a thing or all I want for Christmas is you. I think there are a lot of people that hate these things because it's popular to hate them, but they don't actually feel that way. And it ends up watering down the hatred and makes it feel less valid as a thing.
[0:32:08] Andrew: I think gatekeeping needs to be stepped up by haters. Haters need to step their game up is my take.
[0:32:13] Eric: So I'm with you on that. I do. I definitely think haters should step up their game. I think that there. I actually talked to a friend of the show Blaine about this not too long ago. I think that there has been a lack of hate, not in like a, oh, like, like real, but like a haterism type of thing that 50 Cent now is bringing back in a way that is like eclipsing and doing it in a way that I'm seeing it and I'm going, I need to do better. Do you know that he sat down with ABC to do that interview about the Diddy documentary and he chose ABC specifically because it airs in prisons?
[0:32:55] Geoff: Yeah, because he wanted one of the channel, one of the two channels that there's he wanted Diddy to see the interview. You're right about that. I do think that most hate in most outrage culture is it's just performative outrage and performative hate. I don't think there's a lot of real hate out there. There's a lot of hate out there everywhere. I just don't think there's a lot of heart behind the hate right now. Exactly.
[0:33:17] Nick: And there is. Yeah.
[0:33:18] Andrew: With bandwagon fandom, there's such a gatekeeping and protection of like, nah, you're, you're, you're full shit. Like you weren't here for it. I think the same needs to be applied to haters. The haters need to step up their gatekeeping. I don't feel like they ever check. There's no check at the door. Do you actually feel this way? How long have you felt this way? Right.
[0:33:40] Geoff: Is that like, kind of like it goes like, no, no, no, I'm allowed to like this band. I liked them when they were on an indie label before their major league, their major label release. You'd be like, I've been, go check my Twitter. I hated these guys. I hated this eight years ago. I've been hating it forever. I'm a long lineage of hatred.
[0:33:55] Andrew: Yeah. That all I want for Christmas is you is overplayed. And there needs to be people that are like, I've been here since 97 or whatever. Yeah. Get out of here.
[0:34:03] Eric: I think, I think that's good. It like, yeah. Yeah. No, I think, I think there's something to that about gatekeeping. Like really, you got to like, check it. You got to check it.
[0:34:15] Geoff: Gatekeeping. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
[0:34:18] Andrew: I like gatekeeping a lot. That's good. If there is a genuine universal hate for a thing, as opposed to something that feels like a trend. Yeah. We need hatekeeping to really step up in 2026.
[0:34:38] Eric: Yeah. I'm, I'm with you as a, as a tried and true hater, as a self-described hater, I'm totally with you. I'm, I'm all about, I'm hating. I'm hating all day. I'm absolutely with you. 100%. I'm in for hatekeeping. Yeah. Yeah.
[0:34:55] Unidentified: Yeah.
[0:34:56] Eric: Big time. Big time. I don't think anyone's going to fight back. And if they are, I'm checking them.
[0:35:05] Unidentified: Prime presents perfect pairings. What pairs with Reacher on Prime? Reaching for a sparkling punch delivered with Prime. It's an unbelievable feeling when you're enjoying a punch. At the same time, Reacher is enjoying punching people. Wow. He's still punching people. No. Entertainment meets fast delivery. It's on Prime. Welcome aboard V-A-Rail. Please sit and enjoy. Please sit and sip. Play. Post. Taste. View. And enjoy.
[0:35:47] Andrew: V-A-Rail. Love the way. Those are my takes. Who wants to take the baton? Ooh. I don't mind. Oh, you go ahead.
[0:35:56] Eric: Nick, Nick, Nick, why don't you go ahead and do it?
[0:35:58] Nick: Well, I'll tell you what. I'll leave this to you. Should it be a sports one or a real life one?
[0:36:02] Eric: Ooh, that's up to you, my friend. I don't like these are all, we're all sports guys in this thing. We're a bunch of sportos.
[0:36:07] Nick: All right. I'll tell you what. I'll go sports. And here's my sports take. The overrated chant at college football games is stupid and you're stupid for doing it. Two reasons. I can think of one primary reason and that is this. If your team, let's say, is unranked or like ranked 25th, you beat like the number one, the number one, 10 team at the end of it, you're the crowd starts going overrated. Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, overrated. But it's stupid to do that because you are essentially cutting down your own win by saying the team that you just beat was overrated and that you're not that good to have beaten them. Are you following me on this? Which one of your teams lost, Nick?
[0:36:48] Andrew: Uh-huh.
[0:36:48] Nick: Huh? What? Yeah, who lost? No, no, nobody lost. This is just in general. This is just an observer of the game, not a fan of a particular team, just as an observer of the sport of college football itself. Even college basketball. This really applies to these ones. But when you scream overrated to a team that is lost either on your home court or wherever and you're chanting this, you are degrading your own win and your own bid to be a good team.
[0:37:16] Geoff: If anything, Nick, they should flip it and they should yell underrated. What an upset. They should just be, yeah, puff them up and be like, and that's how great we are. We beat this underrated team.
[0:37:27] Nick: Even though they're ranked so high, they're underrated. We're underrated for having beaten them.
[0:37:32] Andrew: So I think what's important to note is for people listening that don't follow college sports at all is that the rankings aren't, it's not like you beat this team, you go to this place. It is like consensus opinion, essentially. So with Nick's point of if you're screaming that this team was actually not as good as they were ranked, you are therefore implying that the people who are evaluating this should not take their success into account and take your success having beaten them into account.
[0:38:01] Nick: So it's really just a self-insultory thing at that point.
[0:38:05] Eric: What you're talking about, Nick, is one of the first things they teach you in pro wrestling school because your job as a pro wrestler is to sell the match that you're about to be in. And in that, you have to talk about your opponent. When you talk about your opponent, if you only put them down and never talk about how good they are, then either A, you beat them, but you just beat nobody, or B, you lose to them and you lost to a nobody. So it's really important to give them their flowers and talk about you're this good, you've done this, you've had all this success, and then build yourself up and say, but even in spite of that, I will overcome you, I will beat you, I will dismantle you, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, so when you beat them, now you're elevated. What you're talking about is 100% true, and it's so, so, so real, and so many people don't get it.
[0:39:05] Nick: They don't get it at all. No. At all. No. And it's probably student bases mostly, but the chant goes around and follows it through the rest of the stadium. And it just, it just irritates me every time I do it.
[0:39:17] Andrew: It's not even a good insult is the problem with it either. Right! It's really not. Or you're saying that the players that have lost on the other side... It's not that they were great. It's really everybody else's fault for viewing them in a higher light than they're capable of.
[0:39:31] Nick: The committee was wrong and you should feel bad! You know what I mean? It's like, what the hell kind of insult is that?
[0:39:38] Andrew: Yeah, that's bad. That's a bad one. I've never thought about it in that way. I'm not someone who watches a lot of college sports, but it is interesting having a system in which, theoretically, the fan reaction and or chanting could impact your standing.
[0:39:54] Geoff: Yeah. Can I ask you a question, Andrew? Yeah, of course. You're saying you're not a big college sports fan. I assume you mostly refer to college football, which is such a big thing in America. I know you guys have the Canadian Football League, and I don't mean this in a dumb way at all, but you have colleges in Canada. Do you not have college football there? I was about to ask the same thing.
[0:40:13] Nick: That's actually a great question.
[0:40:14] Andrew: No, it's not a thing here in this moment.
[0:40:16] Geoff: Oh, wow. So, like, the University of Vancouver wouldn't play Toronto State in her province? Maybe they would, but there's no TV deal for that.
[0:40:27] Andrew: I'm not watching that.
[0:40:28] Geoff: Gotcha. So, there's not like a Saturday for-
[0:40:30] Andrew: I'm not saying the infrastructure doesn't exist. I honestly don't know if the infrastructure exists, but I do know it's not televised. But does it exist for hockey in the same fashion? Like, do college teams play each other in hockey? Yeah, college teams absolutely play each other in hockey, and there are, like, sub-leagues that you can follow, but a lot of that is subscription models. So, maybe there is, like, some college Canadian football subscription thing I could order to follow that, but it's not at all- As somebody who I feel like I have a general sense, it's not covered in any way.
[0:41:02] Geoff: Yeah, you're not going to turn on ABC after the 50-cent interview and then see the Michigan
[0:41:07] Andrew: I have never, in my, like, 15-plus years of listening to sports radio, Canadian sports radio, ever heard anyone bring up a college Canadian football game. Wow. Interesting.
[0:41:19] Eric: It's just not talked about here. Interesting. Wow. Now, what do you call, is it called college hockey, or do you guys call it, like, university games or something? Do you have, like, a different, like, Canadian term for it?
[0:41:31] Andrew: You know what, it's so funny that you bring that up, because it is, whenever, it's college hockey is what's referred to the most here. And I think it's because it's just U.S.-based. I think they're only ever really talking about U.S.-type schools in it. So I don't think, like, college hockey exists in the way, as a terminology for Canada. Because the time you hear about college is that there are certain players that, like, weren't drafted but were college players, and they can sign directly to any team they want to, if they're in that case. So there's always, every year, a sort of hyped window of, like, these are the top college-free agents that your team could potentially acquire. Interesting.
[0:42:12] Eric: That's very interesting. Huh. I guess I just never really thought about college sports in Canada.
[0:42:20] Andrew: Yeah. I would say our watching of college sports and the way it's presented in Canada generally, even, like, coverage of the U.S. side, is pretty non-existent. Huh. Which is odd, because so much of Canada culture is adopting U.S. entertainment.
[0:42:37] Geoff: This conversation is the first time it ever crossed my mind, I think, in 50 years.
[0:42:40] Eric: Yeah, just never, never occurred to me ever. Ever.
[0:42:43] Geoff: Yeah.
[0:42:43] Eric: Interesting. Yeah. Well, there you go. I think, hey, there you go. I'm learning a lot, honestly, on these takes. So. Yeah. Good stuff. Good technique.
[0:42:52] Unidentified: Thank you. Feel good about it.
[0:43:00] Eric: That, um, I'm done with QR menus. Bring back a regular menu. Please, please stop doing QR menus. I'm over it. I don't like it. Uh, it is, everyone's just now on their phone, and you're, like, with, like, your parents, and they're looking at their phone, and they don't stop, and now it's, like, a whole other thing, and now they want to show you something on their phone, and it's just, like, dude, I, what is happening? It's also, it's adding steps to everything, Eric.
[0:43:34] Geoff: Stop adding steps to shit. It's so, there's nothing faster on Earth than handing a menu to a person from one human hand to another human hand. Yep.
[0:43:45] Eric: I just don't, I don't get why that became, well, I mean, it's because of COVID, but I don't get why we still do it. It's not better in any way. It's not at all an improvement in a menu thing. Oh, but what if, like, the menu changes a lot? Then, I don't know, have different menus, because we sure fucking survived with it before all that. Exactly, like, how did the world work 15 years ago when restaurants change their menu occasionally? And that, that is, like, the only thing that people will say about, like, well, what if the menu changes a bunch or whatever? Dude, it never happens. Like, get fucking real. And also, it looks so tacky to bring out your phone, open the camera app, go click on the thing, so you can go to the link where you might not have service. Give me a fucking menu. It's not that hard. You're a restaurant. Just have the menu. It's not, I don't know. You know what else to do, too?
[0:44:41] Geoff: It's not that if the menu changes, they're not updating the QR code. Here's what they do. They go, I'd like to tell you about our daily specials. We've got a pan-seared Branzino in a hazelnut liqueur and orange demi-glaze with potatoes au plov. And you go, I don't eat fish. And they go, okay.
[0:45:03] Eric: Get out, sir. God, it's so, I hate it. I just don't like it at all. I really hate the QR menu.
[0:45:13] Andrew: Yeah, I really hate the QR menu.
[0:45:14] Eric: It's just so over it.
[0:45:15] Andrew: I'm thinking about, like, what the most annoying menu would be. It would be really funny if the menu was just on, like, a stock ticker, and it just slowly went across.
[0:45:24] Unidentified: No, wait, come back. Yeah.
[0:45:27] Geoff: That's what they say, like, fish is market value. Yeah. It's, like, being updated by the second.
[0:45:33] Eric: Dude.
[0:45:33] Andrew: It's just an annoying thing. And I will say, just sort of an unrelated, something I learned this year, I did not know that you could use QR codes via the phone app until this year. That was a big learning thing for me. I would always download an app that was a QR reader, and I'd open the app, and then I would go through that way. Oh, my God. And then this year, I learned that, oh, I can just use the photo app. This is great. That's, uh, huh.
[0:46:03] Geoff: Welcome. Welcome to the future. Yeah. We're glad to have you. It's great.
[0:46:11] Andrew: It made it a lot easier.
[0:46:12] Geoff: Yeah.
[0:46:14] Eric: I didn't, I don't think I knew that there were QR reader apps.
[0:46:18] Andrew: Oh, there are QR reader apps, and that is how I would use them.
[0:46:21] Geoff: What are we going to do, uh, following Andrew around for a day and just blowing his mind by showing him all the simplest of things? Yeah. Yeah. That needs to make its way back in the bit barrel.
[0:46:32] Eric: Oh, God. Man. Man. I just think, uh, I just think QR codes, I'm, I'm just over it. I'm just, I'm so, I'm so over it. It sucks. Also, this isn't really part of that QR code, but I want to make it clear to people that, uh, if you're doing something digital and you put a QR code, like you're like doing a live stream or whatever, and you put like a QR code on the screen, I don't know what you're thinking. The thing that I'm probably watching you do this stream on, I can't scan a fucking QR code. QR codes are for print to get something onto my phone. If you want me to click on something or go somewhere, you need to give me a link that I can click on. I'm not sure what that confusion happened in like the last couple of years where putting a QR code on the screen became like the default, but it doesn't help. And it doesn't work. Yeah.
[0:47:21] Geoff: Cause I'm watching it on the fucking screen. My phone is the screen.
[0:47:23] Eric: There's nothing that makes you feel older than surfing the web on a desktop computer. Like, I don't know, like I'm not doing that and then scanning a QR code with my phone. It, I just, just to be clear, QR codes are for print to get something onto your phone. Links and URLs are for media, digital media to get you somewhere on that device. Just really want to be just dead clear on that. That's all.
[0:47:53] Geoff: Great.
[0:47:54] Andrew: Thank you. Good take. Thank you. And now Jeff, do you want to close out?
[0:47:59] Geoff: I will close us out with my, uh, my final regulation take. I hope this is a little less controversial than my last one. Uh, but I also hope you guys understand how seriously I take this and, and I, at least Eric, I think is going to understand where I'm coming from. Hopefully the others as well. But, uh, convenience stores used to be more entertaining and I think they should be again.
[0:48:23] Eric: A hundred percent. Oh, interesting. A hundred percent.
[0:48:25] Geoff: More entertaining. So in the 90s and the early 2000s, convenience stores were places to hang out and socialize almost. They had arcades. They were friendlier. I, it was, I, they were like clerks happened and it became a place to work. They were, you know what I mean? It was just like, it was a part of the culture and it is now you just, I just like, I go to a convenience store in Austin sometimes and I'm just trying not to get stabbed and nobody's smiling or having fun. And nobody's got having like a quirky little, uh, tête-à-tête between the slacker employee and the straight laced employee. All that's out the window now.
[0:49:03] Eric: Uh, I think it's because everything got too expensive. I think that like convenience store used to be a place to get stuff for cheap and you kind of like meander. Cause you're like, oh yeah, I'll get like a drink and then maybe Cheetos. Oh, like these different things, whatever. And it would, it would be like three bucks. And now you get three things and it's $11 and it's like, dude, I don't like, I don't want to, if I'm going to spend that much money, I'm going to go get something. And I think that's like the real turnoff for me, dude, you're not kidding, man.
[0:49:32] Geoff: I bought a monster and a candy bar and some potato chips and it was like $14. That's what I'm saying.
[0:49:37] Eric: Like it used to be, everything was 99 cents. You know, it's true. Hot Cheetos and a big ass soda and all this stuff.
[0:49:44] Geoff: And a lot of people I think will say, uh, well, you're just remembering a different age in your life when you would do those things. But I like all the same shit I did when I was 15. I'm going to go ride bikes later today and try to buy baseball cards. If the convenience store was more accommodating, I would be hanging out there like I used to in the same fashion. I do all the same shit I did in 1990. Yep. In 2025. I just, this is the convenience store is not the place it used to be. And it's, it's, it's a bummer.
[0:50:15] Eric: I, that's my dad with you. I agree with you. They like, Oh, you know what? I wonder if it's because they became like larger conglomerations also. Probably. It's always fucking capitalism's fault.
[0:50:26] Geoff: It's always big business's fault.
[0:50:28] Eric: Yeah. Cause like we would go to like. It's the military industrial complex. That's who did it. That's who did it. Uh, cause it used to be, you know, AM, PM and all that stuff. But AM, PM was like a lot smaller, but then also there were like side, like smaller convenience stores, like mom and pop convenience stores that were just sort of like on corners and stuff.
[0:50:47] Geoff: And they're like gone, dude, you have never experienced vibes like hanging outside the fucking Tom thumb in Jacksonville, Florida in like 1988, man. That is a fuck. That place was happening.
[0:51:04] Nick: Oh, that just hearing you say that there's, there was this flag store that was over. It was a little convenience store. It was expensive as shit for gas, but everything inside was affordable and they had a wide selection of beers. I just remember going there and hanging out. Are you talking about the flag store? Are you talking about the flag store? Yeah. Yeah. It's still there. Yeah.
[0:51:22] Eric: They're still there. Yeah. Oh, thank God. Okay. Hey, let's go. Hyde Park market is fucking that place rocks. That place rule. That was one of the first places that Jordan swears took me in Austin.
[0:51:32] Geoff: Yeah. It was one of the only places you could buy weird beer in Austin. Yeah. Yeah. Early two thousands before like specs and all those stores started to open up. Yep.
[0:51:43] Nick: Oh, that was the best.
[0:51:44] Geoff: Yeah. Flag store is fucking great, man.

Let's go get some ice cream and hang out with some ice cream. We'll film the video out in front of the flag store. Convenience store style. We'll eat the ice cream.
[0:52:01] Geoff: We'll film the video of everybody eating ice cream in their preferred cone and confirming their taste buds.
[0:52:08] Eric: But Jeff, that's also the place where we can do our, our, uh, dirt bag sodas.
[0:52:14] Geoff: Oh, that's true, dude. I really do want to do Eric and I have a great dirt bag soda idea. We just, uh, we needed, uh, we needed more of you guys.
