Sergeant Stubby was a pick of mine in my co-worker, Mascots Draft that I put together back in July! It was an awesome draft.
I'm 100% on Gavin's side about the Regulation Not Regulation Draft
Geoff in his Steve Kerr Zen era
The ending of this one is almost as good as when Andrew tried to print the law
This might be the quintessential Andrew is wrong episode
And that's saying a lot considering the Pencil Trial still holds up today 😅
I really hope this week Gavin comes in with an "I have a clip" for Andrews allergy to mushroom
Please for the love of god do a Gavin visits Andrew episode/supplemental. The gang needs to be at Vancouver Island to see this shit in person. So fuqin funny.
I meed more 48 minute tech support calls please
If Gavin drafted no scrumping sign then andrew would had a argument but Gavin didn't he drafted the regulation of no scrumping and the podcast doesn't have domain or ties to that regulation, they just make a sign that says it.
Troubleshooting tech with Andrew is my all time favorite. I love it so much!
Somebody should count all of the times Andrew dodged accountability with "Well you guys..". It's almost a weekly occurrence but it felt extra heavy this week. I think Andrew has the capacity to be funny and entertaining without all the pedantic critiquing/gaslighting stuff, I don't get why he leans it on it so heavily
Man we really need a Tech Support episode
Zen Geoff feels like a Rick & Morty bit
Eric went quiet at the end. Did he have a stroke?
Listen I kinda understand where Andrew was coming from "no scrumping" feels way too integrated into Regulation that it can't be part of the regulation not Regulaion but I also understand that by that nature he should have called out the others and not just Gavin. But idk this community keeps becoming too complainy?? Maybe I'm just in my zen era but Andrew being wrong isn't the end of the world for me. I love Andrew! He's actually my favorite. Maybe because I see myself in him? Like his cluelessness and odd habits feel too close to home lol. Especially the tech stuff, I 100% see myself doing something stupid like that
The MOMENT I heard "Do you have a third monitor?", I knew he was going to have two going from the same PC to the same monitor. I technically do a similar thing on my own PC (but one is a capture card passthrough so it actually serves a purpose) so I've previously had the thought of "Is there any benefit to having two same-PC displays on the same monitor?" followed promptly by "...No, not really." There's something always entertaining about hearing of people's messes of a setup. Love it every time.
41:30- can I submit this as Ep. 207?
How? How and why and how? It's like Andrew just sees a port on his machine and goes "Oh, well that needs a friend" and shoves something in here. Next week we're gonna find out he's got dry spaghetti shoved in the vent holes cuz he thought they were convenient noodle holsters/toasters or something
That end was unhinged
I'll be contrary and say I adore Andrew and the chaos that he brings
This one is a classic
I'm glad Geoff's anus integrity is at an all time high. These are the important updates that keep me coming back every week.
I've eaten that White Spot. That White Spot should be reserved for, I've been adrift at sea for a week and require calories and I don't care what it tastes like.
I want to explain that my anger towards Andrew is not personal, but more the fact that this is his job. He works on computers daily for his job and he refuses to learn how to properly use his own equipment for his job. At any normal job, he would be fired. If we are expected to help fund his job and everyone else (which I do happily at this moment) it would be nice for him to take some accountability in learning how to provide good content and effective work enivironment for his other coworkers, especially since he refuses to move and has to work 100% remote, which I also understand. Instead he just get defensive and shuts down into of taking on the responsibility of his own computers. He learns how to plug in 30 year old gaming consoles but refuses to have two monitors so he can make sure he is recording properly.
I'd argue this was good content. And the rest of the boys probably would too, despite their frustration they were also laughing very hard. As was I. They all have a long-standing relationship with Andrew and know how he is. He doesn't have a normal job for a reason. We also aren't "expected" to fund his job. You can listen to the podcast and watch much of their content for free on YouTube. You can be frustrated, but nothing here is gonna change my guy.
There's no way to verify this but about 15 seconds in i guessed that Andrew had both cords plugged into the same monitor. True Andrew fashion.
Once again on Eric’s side. Andrew would eat the smash burger and Gavin’s pick was totally acceptable. Having drafted the regulation of no scrumping not the sign that they sell. I don’t know what those are the same to Andrew.
No one knew any of this, Andrew.
Okay I know I’m a day late but I think Geoff has to do an entire episode just ending his sentence by going “namaste”
The ending of this episode is an all timer
Everyone brought their A game for this one
I feel that the person complained about Geoff being boring is about to eat their words.
At this point I should just copy and paste my comment for every video, andrew is an incredibly, enormous, moron, all his points don’t hold weight or value. And I second what some of the dudes here saying that his antics are starting to make all there content not fun, you wait a week for a podcast only for 80% of it be andrew’s not funny antics.
Then stop listening.
As someone who doesn’t do anything with two different monitors, I sympathize with Andrew. Bless Gavin and Nick for being patient with Andrew and his technological mishaps. I think they also should guide him literally step by step in any future troubleshooting.
Andrew weaponized my vote and I did not consent. I'm sorry Gavin. Seriously though No Scrumping IS part of Regulation but it is also a regulation that exists outside of AND before Regulation. F**KFACE is similar as it came from baseball way before the podcast, but I would say Andrew would have way more legs arguing that one. Which is what Eric means when he says it's crazy that this is where Andrew put his line and didn't voice anything against Eric's pick. I think he's just afraid of arguing with Eric.
I had to pull over because I was laughing too hard during the last 10 or so minutes of this episode. This was a killer episode.
I want the record to show that I am NOT on Andrew’s side on this
Petition for Gavin's nickname 2027: Dusty Bitch.
I initially voted that Andrew would know if he’d eat a burger or not, but after listening to this episode, I’m on Eric’s side.
lol unfappable
Andrew is right about the scrumping I don’t understand this bandwagon. The burger thing I don’t get though, does smashing the burger wrong make it worse than a not smash burger?
Andrew's setup is like having a monitor that reaches into the fourth dimension, where he can touch it but can't see it That or it's the place where all the socks go missing in the dryer
This is quite possibly the best episode I have heard so far
I think the issue with the scrumping argument is that Andrew is so focused that Gavin chose to use the sign they sell as a visual image when it's just an image and Gavin is picking the idea of scrumping not their specific sign. It would be like if I picked hamburgers because it's a pretty regulation food as it's extremely common, but used the burger count board as the image.
As someone who does IT and assists remote users the last 30 minutes was painful to listen to. Also I want to hear audio commentary from Gus on it
Andrew is genuinely handicapped...
Having listened to Regulation not Regulation draft i still don't understand it or what point Andrew is trying to make.
It’s such an insane state of affairs that there’s 5 people having a conversation and Gavin Free is the voice of reason
Someone want to order a wellness check on Andrew? Because what the fuck is he huffing?
This one isn't 207 either
100% if I had more context to the scrummping poll I would have voted different
We need a technical support supplemental
Andrew please stop fighting and starting arguments just for the sake of arguing God damnit man
Nick having no issue during the draft but turning around and siding with Andrew on this recording is wild.
On Andrew's side
Wow seems like a lot of people are losing their minds over this episode. I thought it was phenomenal, keep up the great work guys
Andrew please. ... fucking stresses me out. insane. I can't -Eric: This sucks.- hard enough
With context, I have changed my vote in the poll
Its so simple. "No Scrumping" was not invented by Regulation or F**kface. The Regulation "No Scrumping" existed long before any of them were even born.
Its been a LONG time since I thought to myself "Andrew CANNOT be real"
The only podcast worth listening to. 10/10. Will we ever know Andrew’s set-up?
The end of this episode needs to be nominated in all the podcast awards. I don’t think any of the world’s funniest comedians could have written a sketch about what naturally came through with this group of guys. Bravo 👏👏👏
The monitor bit at the end is AMAZING
We need a regulation not fuck face draft
Geoff’s “unless we’re all dead” comment weighed heavy with the deaths of Dolly Parton and Tim Curry. 😢
I do see the point of no scrumping being regulation, but also feel like f**kface should probably also be included.
for frigs sake. I was 100% on Gavin's side before and midway through Andrews argument. But my lord has the tide shifted. I think Andrew is right. no scrumping shouldn't count. neither should F**face.
aaaaand he lost me again. Eric and Gavin win!
All timer!
Hey yo Gavin might need to see a Dr if he inhaled that much brick dust. Don't wanna be an alarmist but silicosis lung is a lifelong uncurable condition
Sorry but I'm with Andrew about the Regulation not Regulation. No scrumping *is* regulation as much as any bit is. It creates the tapestry that is collectively known as the regulation podcast. If regulation (as in the podcast) is not allowed, then everything under the umbrella isn't allowed. If that limits it too much, then maybe rethink the draft. But it seems like everyone else was able to work within the spirit of the draft, so I cannot at all fault Andrew for this.
From this day forward all Andrew opinions are subject to a 50% tariff.
Andrew, why would you want this dust. Also yes no scrumping is regulation but it 1000% makes sense in context of the draft and is a fantastic pick.
Eric is right and we need more of this because holy fucking shit. The "I'm right and refuse to budge" but is giving diminishing returns and getting old..
I also wish I had the confidence Andrew has when he is wrong. I feel like I would go so much further in life if I just had the "No Scrumping is Regulation" confidence.
Someone let Andrew watch Bill O'Reilly talking about the spin zone.
andrew is unable to admit he has egg on his face. i really REALLY like the banter of telling andrew he’s wrong multiple times. i enjoy an annoyed andrew since he just annoys others
Around 1 hour in, I though "Oh my, he has both cables plugged into the same monitor." And the tension I felt for the next 10 minutes was crazy. Audibly laughed and doubled over while doing dishes. I'll never unsubscribe
Swing, and a miss, Andrew. Love ya bud
This sucks
Can we beg for an Andrew Tech Support Stream?
I typically love Andrew’s “gimmicks” or “mishaps”… i genuinely felt disgusted that he plugged both into the same monitor….
Andrew was so wild on this one. He could not have been more wrong on all points.
I’ve never been less on Andrew’s side
Having watched Geoff for a majority of my life, I’m 100% certain there will be a horrific crash from zen within the next two episodes
Sergeant Stubby is an American Hero!
As an IT guy, this is pain. JUST LOOK AT THE BACK OF THE FUCKING MONITOR.
Andrew thinking everyone is on his side because of an out of context poll is actually hilarious. Especially because Gavin won the draft and Andrew lost
I went back and changed my answer on the pol.
Andrew could not be more wrong about the Regulation Not Regulation draft. No Scrumping is a regulation that exists outside of the Regulation universe and would exist even if the podcast didn’t. It should be allowed because by definition it is a regulation. Also I voted that Andrew would know his burger better but because there was no context I voted incorrectly.
I am regulation confused
Spider-Man analogy makes zero sense to me. Marvel still created him. More like picking New York in a Marvel draft.
I thought this was the most frustrating episode and then I hit the last 20 mins and jfc I wasnt ready
Zen Geoff is Gen
As soon as I saw the draft I realized Andrew had fucked up the poll. Things that were inherited by Regulation don't lose their non-Regulation origins. That still makes it a non-Regulation Regulation. Consider this: Banjo-Kazooie was a game made by Rare and acquired long after it was made by Microsoft. Banjo-Kazooie and Rare are certainly a part of Microsoft. That said, do you consider Banjo-Kazooie a Microsoft game or a Rare game?
The context was not provided properly in Andrew's poll, I agree that scrumping is part of Regulation but so is everything else like baseball and such, Andrew's objection is bullshit. The second poll about the burger didn't have full context, but more than the first and Andrew is 100% wrong on not eating that burger. Andrew is getting on my nerves so much recently and I hate saying that because he's really funny but it's like he is doing it on purpose. Like holy shit, it's so grating.
I love Andrew so much! What a classic episode. 😂
Gonna hard agree that the poll had 0 context. Andrew is 100% wrong on No Scrumping
I gotta know how many votes this episode got for being 207. Obviously not enough
No Scrumping and Fuckface both exist outside of the existence of these individuals. The sign is from historical and modern usage, and the phrase is from that baseball card. Therefore they exist outside of regulation.
Weird Eric just bought a CPAP specifically to use in the TGIF bathrooms for some reason
If Geoff is in Zen mode, the answer to whether you deserve to live today is automatically Yes. You've reached the ultimate goal in life: Happiness and satisfaction with your circumstances, relationships and life.
I hesitate to defend Andrew given the double monitor input situation and poll-gate. However, I do unfortunately find myself on his side about the draft picks. It was a regulation not regulation draft. Of regulations that are not the regulation podcast. Andrew considers things that are part of the regulation universe to be part of the podcast. I assume he was unbothered by Eric’s pick because it isn’t a regulation. It doesn’t even fit the draft. Plus, as he mentioned, f***face doesn’t technically exist anymore. And to be fair it literally IS the most regulation non regulation thing there is. But it wasn’t a draft of non regulation things. It was non regulation regulations. It was like a cheeky haha gotcha move. Gavin’s WAS a regulation but it IS regulation related. Not created or invented by the show. But central to the show’s lore. Sincerely, Andrew’s probably only (and not even to the fullest extent) supporter. Thank you. You’re welcome. I expect my check will be in the mail.
"Sometimes I lose my mouse" - Andrew Panton, 2026
10/10 episode 🤣🤣
Jeeeeesus christ
"WE DONT SELL DOGS" shirt coming next mech drop
I’m on Eric’s side. “There’s a lot of wires back there.” “Yeah, that’s COMPUTERS!” The conclusion of the tech support segment was hilarious and satisfying.
A more apt analogy with Marvel would be if Timely Comics are a part of the Marvel Universe in a "Marvel not Marvel" draft. Spider-Man is clearly part of Marvel like Jack's "exotic" pigeon is part of Regulation. However Spider-man is not part of Timely Comics.
Have to say, completely agree with Andrew on the airplane stuff. I have never and will never eat on a flight. I'm not shitting myself on an airplane, I'd rather be hungry for 15 hours or whatever
Please never change Andrew
Andrew being Andrew again
I am with Andrew on the burger. IBS is a bitch and I never risk it when flying
I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone pronounce trachea like Gavin did
100% I wouldn't have said yes in that poll if I knew what was actually being asked.
As a man who voted yes. Andrew is wrong.
I understand not agreeing with Andrew, but we need to chill out as a community on “Andrew’s antics”. His antics are hilarious and make for great content.
At this point I don't think Andrew knows what 60% of the words he uses mean. I just have no clue which ones they are he's so confident.
Andrew tech support might be my favorite part of the show, always
There was a house cat elected as mayor of a town/city in Alaska.. just putting that out there.
The implication of Andrew's argument is that anything that is discussed on the podcast becomes part of the regulation universe and is not eligible to be drafted. I disagree with that, I think that if something existed and/or exists before it was discussed on the podcast, it is not inherently part of the regulation universe and is therefore eligible to be drafted (like no scrumping).
No, I'll agree that there's a difference between something talked about once and a running gag that they sell merch about
Nothing makes me angrier than Andrew talking about his set up.
I need a weekly Andrew’s Tech Support segment. I’m crying.
1. The context was not provided in the poll. 2. Andrew, you are full of shit like 99% of the time. 3. Eric, I love you.
Andrew being the youngest on this podcast, yet the most technologically challenged is sooooo hilarious to me lol. it’s also just the refusal to want or try to learn because it changes nothing for him 🤣
Gavin forgetting which rocks he was allowed to draft😭
When Eric put his foot down on Andrew and the mushroom burger, where was this energy with Andrew not going to see movies in theaters in the Summer Movie League??
I think Andrews argument about No Scrumping is horrible... but the underlying point makes sense. They made a sign because the concept of No Scrumping was added to the F**kFace lore. I don't think something has to originate within Regulation to be Regulation. I also dont think Gavin's point about not being able to draft anything they talked about makes sense. He points to them talking about baseball against Geoff's pick... but as far as i know, they never discussed those specific regulations. Andrew never said that anything relating to apples could be drafted, just the specific regulation about Scrumping. Which is something they talked about extensively. That they made a sign about is indicative of how ingrained in their universe it is. Ut isnt part of regulation because if the sign, the sign is because its part of regulation.
ANDREW IS SOOOOOO NUTS!!!! WE ALL KNOW HE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN THE BURGER AND SCRUMPING IS OK!! He just needs to admit he’s WRONG!!! We need MORE ERIC CALLING OUT ANDREW!!!!!
5:26, Geoff called himself "un-fappable"
Neither poll had proper context, so I had the wrong perspective answering the no scrumping poll, and answered unsure on the burger poll. I can now say with context that I would change my answer to no on the burger poll
Whoa Gavin's literally gonna be shitting bricks
Snorting pixie sticks brings back memories
This podcast has become “how is Andrew gonna piss me off this week” lol
I don't like where this train is going.. I hope they can change trajectory at some point. 🤞🏽
Not only was Andrew already in the news for his Garfield Kart thing, he said he was in the paper as a kid for some tennis thing. Seems like a bonafide newspaper guy at this point
Andrew is a 5 year old
Andrew is wrong and gets a red card. Next draft even if he's right he's not gettin the vote. X D
You people are insane. Andrew is pretty much always incorrect, but the first time in Regulation history that he’s on point, the rest of you are wrong? Insane.. Of course it was a “… Not Regulation Lore” draft.. Some examples below to help Draftable - Pencils - The number 2 pencil - The movie “No Scrumping” - Specific baseball regulations - Baseball in general - Key West - Diarrhoea Not Draftable - Eating a pencil - The regulation of “No Scrumping” - Don Zimmer - Sloppy Joes - Geoff’s Diarrhoea - F**kFace EDIT: FuckFace is included
Wait, how is F**ck Face a tricky one? Things like eat the pencil or No Scrumping come from F**k Face. If it isn't part of the regulation universe...that ought to exclude vast amounts of things. Also, it only makes sense in the context of its connection to the Regulation podcast. In what way is it Regulation not Regulation? Well it's related to the Regulation podcast, but it's not the Regulation podcast. If it's not connected to the Regulation Podcast...he just picked a podcast as a regulation.
Andrew he didn't draft the sign he drafted the rule. Its not complicated.
To say all the context was in that poll is absolutely insane and the biggest spin there is
If animals can do real office work, then they are not animals anymore, but human. That is the difference between animals and humans.
I don’t know, around 50:00 min mark. I want a physical copy so bad lol. I was going to suggest just grabbing the stack, but the logistics of sending them out is a nightmare, especially to out of country people like me. Please post the website link!
Gavin trying to fix Andrew’s setup feels like Keep Talking And Nobody Explodes — and I’m here for it
I had to stop listening for a bit because Andrew and his monitor. It's like I'm helping 80 year old teachers with tech again
by Andrew’s logic, shouldn’t he be against Eric’s draft pick that had to do with Falcons because they sell Falcon-tier subscriptions? 🤣
I legit think that if he was opposed to literally every single pick in the draft he'd be getting less shit for it lmao
I love my husband so much for saving me in tech situations, because I am Andrew when it comes to computers.
There’s zero context in that poll And having listened to the regulation not regulation draft, Gavin was 100% fine taking that pick
The end makes me NEEEEED an "Team figures out Andrew's Setup" series. This HAD to be a bit, right?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
If I was still doing IT work and had to deal with Andrew, I wouldn’t make it till the end of the shift.
Andrew is so needlessly obtuse over nothing lol
Funny how IBS wasn't even in consideration for why he wouldn't eat the burger until every other excuse was exhausted. He's just so unbelievably childish
I think I’d have an easier time being against Andrew on the No Scrumping thing if Gavin hadn’t used an image of a product that they literally sold in the store. That by definition makes it Regulation. If he had sent an image of the movie that Eric mentioned I’d be way more on his side but he did kind of shoot himself in the foot imo by including a Regulation regulation. It’s literally a piece of merch that they sold.
Eric just stays correct.
I actually agree with Andrew on the draft. As Geoff would say, there’s a spirit to it, and differentiating Regulation and F**kface makes sense in that context. Geoff’s rat rule seemed the purest interpretation to me- a regulation against a regulation item (rats being associated with Eric).
I love Eric so much
Andrew is so far in the wrong on everything. In other words I’m on his side
Andrew’s nickname for 2027 needs to be The Enigma. I will accept no other name. He's so weird. He has no problem eating a foot long Subway hotdog that doesn't even look real but has an issue eating a burger in a plane. Ok.
Andrew in this heel era is insane. There was Zero context to that poll, the context was insanely important because of the nature of the draft itself. I stand by my previous comment on the draft, Gavin's regulation not regulation pic of no scrumping is probably the best out of the whole thing.
Just checking in on Eric. He went non verbal around 1:09:10. Wanna make sure Lil Sketti didn’t have a stroke. And Eric was so right from the beginning (still feels wrong to say this). Telling Andrew to just follow the cables to see what they go to.
Unfappable versus Unflappable is an interesting goof from Geoff (5:25)
I would love to see a viral trend of IT people watching a clip of the end of today's podcast and maybe see how long it takes them to diagnose the issue or something like that. This was definitely the highlight of my week lol
The thumbnail is everything I hoped it would be.
You need to rerun that poll, i absolutely would have voted yes precontext but it’s definitely no post draft.
One huff of brick dust isn’t going to kill him but I’m pretty sure that’s actually one of the more actually dangerous substances to inhale
Andrew is 100% right on the scrumping draft pick. The rule of no scrumping is how it was introduced to the podcast and that is the sign they sell in the store. None of us would know the rules of scrumping without the podcast and the sign, making it a part of regulation, making it ineligible for the draft
Correct. But that's not what's being argued here.
This was a phenomenal episode
I thought the poll had enough context.
Andrew, do not inhale sugar
Im with Geoff that this is a heavy contender for 207
Im on Andrew's side
nevermind
Lets see how those new Zen powers work on his next root canal
Where do we find the polls?
This may be the least I’ve agreed with Andrew since the beginning of F**kface. Also my AC just went out in my car.
I desperately need technical difficulties to come out where they just learn more and more about Andrews set up and figure out what the heck is going on! Because that was the funniest part of the episode, close second was Eric standing up to Andrew. I'm not sure if Andrew would eat the burger on the plane since he says he doesn't eat on the plane. But that's the risk of running a poll with minimal context, cause I voted No.
About 58 minutes is the start of technical difficulties (note for me)
The blind polls rule by the way, it's great weighing in on an argument without context
This may be the best thing I have listened to in 36 years, 8 months and 26 days
Where Andrew is wrong, is No Scrumping is a regulation, while also apart of the overall universe.
Also rip Dolly Parton
Didn't Geoff just have a diarrhea vomit incident last week
What, What? What! 🙄
Last movie I saw where the dog was the main character was good boy fantastic horror movie
Andrew, you are *currently* dying on that hill you swear you're not on.
I haven't felt this kind of anger towards Andrew since the pencil lawsuit. This episode felt very Andrew being the heel just to be the heel and piss everyone off cause it was a fun bit for some reason again.
The tech support at the end is the hardest I've laughed in ages, I didn't even know what Andrew did was possible. Please never change Andrew.
Andrew is making me so mad over this that it’s making me want to commit scrumping
Too bad none of the guys are Ann Leckie fans, missed out on a great Anusillary Mercy joke with Geoff's colonoscopy news.
Yes and that pole does not state that anywhere
Andrew is out of his Gordon this episode I'm just going to say it he must have inhaled some cocaine or
We snorted smarties in school
Supplemental content of Gus reacting to Andrew’s setup?
I'm begging for that.
Andrew not knowing his own set up 🤯
Andrew would eat the smashburger
He's lying even to himself right now
But a&w doesn't even exist over here just the root beer
New Poll: Who's correct about any topic ever discussed? 1. Andrew 2. Literally any other person who disagrees with Andrew Nick agreeing with Andrew on his own 'vibe based' draft he couldn't explain when asked while actually just wanting a Huggbees "Crazy Laws Still On The Books" list with some company label over it has driven me insane. Install an Adblocker while eating a pencil as penance for trying to mislead the paying fans. After that you can pretend to be right again.
Is that bird labour, or uh, just birds having fun?
Andrew doesn't understand what "context" is.
This might be the most wrong Andrew has been since the start of regulation
99-1 because contrarians
This is the most chaotic zen ive ever heard of
Gavin’s gonna shit bricks later
Andrew mixes up what an input, a monitor, and a format are 👀
Well, I just cancelled my Falcon membership. I just cannot support Andrew's completely misplaced indignation at every turn, when he's causing all of his own problems then going "no you just don't get it"
Yeah the ispy “video” sucked and I’m afraid we’ll get more and more of it with Andrew’s set-up
A Zen state is a natural flow. Kind of like ultra instinct it's a natural Zen flow. Geoff is clearly trying to manufacture his zen state to keep it going. He's got that classic high-pitched voice going, and I don't think there's any state is going to stick for longer than 2 weeks
Andrew eats the plane burger 100/100 times
Good thing I wore my pigeon shirt today
You can free bass caffeine. You make coffee boil it to a slurry than place on some foil and enjoy
Andrew tech support is easily the most entertaining thing, possibly ever
Andrew is so fucking funny, I am so far from his view on Gavin's scrump pick but man his sheer conviction makes me want to stand with him
Weaponized incompetence.
My first shout out on the podcast 😭 love y'all
All this does is make it so polls pre video can't be trusted anymore
Did Andrew just argue for a mushroom smash burger when he said he was allergic to mushrooms or am I taking crazy pills?
He 100% heard "smashburger or mushroom burger" and assumed it was either a smashburger, or a beef burger with mushrooms on it. Then when Gavin explained it was one big mushroom patty, it suddenly became an IBS issue.
New poll number two: "Do you feel misled?" That's it
New poll. Would Andrew eat a smash mushroom burger or a beef smash burger. Full context provided. That would be 100-0.
Once again, Andrew is a menace in new unbelievable ways.
Listening to these now I just keeps isolating quotes for that quotes game they played last week. One highlight in that regard, “Yeah, but now my anus is gone.”
This HDMI situation is absolutely mind-boggling. I truly can't imagine knowing that little about the stuff I own and use every day.
I know it hurts but I want you to imagine it. Now imagine you’ve been gifted a job tailor made to suit your reclusive, leisure based life style. Now imagine you have 4 other highly skilled people you like very much doing that cushy job with you, all who have been doing it much longer and have a vast array of knowledge and experience who are willing to buy you equipment, ship it to you, guide you through setting it up and teach you how to use it on a very basic level. And you just cannot be assed.
Andrew's tech support corner is my favourite segment.
Zen Mode Geoff is hilarious man
The absolute snap from the anger of the poll discussion to being almost in tears at the tech support section is exactly why this podcast is the best 🙌
The other members on tbe podcast make zen bets on the order of days. The audience makes bets on the order of episodes
Andrew gets the Subway hotdog, but draws the line at an airplane smash burger? Yeah I’m on Eric’s side
My proximity to my home crapper will absolutely influence my eating decisions.
Trigger Man is all bricked up
Silica dust is no joke
hasnt andrew eaten stuff on the podcast?
Zen Mode Geoff is... unsettling. But, I sincerely hope that it lasts a long time- give the poor guy a goddamn break, life!
I find it so hard to believe that Andrew doesn’t understand how inputs work for a computer. It is actually concerning lol.
I fully stand 10 toes down on my comment on the poll i would not trust Andrew to know anything about what Andrew would do
We interrupt this episode of The Regulation Podcast to bring you "Gav'll Fix It" yes, it's the show where Andrew seeks out technological help and drags the rest of the crew kicking and screaming to a resolution. Up next, Eric not Michael Rage Quits
This rules Andrew somehow won me over on the no scrumping argument
Absolute word for word by Andrew. "They don't know who is saying this, or what the context is." "The context is provided in the poll."
A sergeant stubby reference let’s go!
The deceit... Run the poll again with context.
I'd like to introduce Andrew to a snortable caffeine, called "Want A BUMP®"
Andrew's setup is so advanced that he has a second monitor in his first monitor that being the monitor next to his gaming monitor.
a standard aka regulation #2 pencil is off the board? sorry but that’s incorrect absolutely obliterated me with the end
Im 30mins in and im calling it that Nicks in the mask
Oooohhhh 👀 *in Nick's voice*
Is No Scrumping: A) Regulation B) Regulation, Not Regulation That would have been a fair and representative poll.
Get them get Andrew. I'm with you Eric. I feel sorry for Gavin. Also by absolute no means do you need or are supposed to use any small particulates (dust and superfindust) because you will die from them it's the same reason why you're not supposed to do the cinnamon challenge because you could literally suffocate yourself from it.
While I'm against almost every way Andrew tried to argue it.... I think I'm actually on his side at the core of the issue The "No Scrumping" thing is in no way regulation, except by its association with the Regulation Podcast. Ergo it is Regulation, but not regulation, defeating the point of the draft A "regulation" generally controls minimums and maximums of a thing. "No scrumping" is simply a law
Most of the draft ended up being laws, almost none of which dealt with minimums and maximums. So you're arguing that just about nothing chosen should have counted?
Right from the start, just wanted to say congrats on the great asshole, Zen Geoff!
And i feel pretty confident that sentence has never been uttered before this moment.
Geoffs saying he's at one with the universe, it just feels wrong, something big is coming for him
Damn this episode is chalk full of shit to comment about lol. I like how Andrew refers to the "No Scrumping" draft pick as "very controversial" when he was the only one to oppose it.
Andrew needs to realise that most of the audience is on Erics side.
He'll realize it, but just dismiss it because we just don't get it or some bs..
I don't think Andrew realizes how much of an insult it is to suggest that Gus might have the same problem with monitors as Andrew. I would love to hear Gus' reaction but I think he might burst a blood vessel.
The problem with teaching dogs to take calls and then get promoted to managers is that inevitably they will all leave to make machinima.
In the late 1800s In south Africa a train switchman had a babbon assistant. His name was Jack.
Im at the beginning of the episode and tbh ill be shocked if zen Geoff lasts till the end of it. But I hope im wrong. I want zen for him. However if hes shouting by the end of the episode then it will be funny. Also im not sure if even the Bhudda himself would be able to remain zen in thr face of Gavin and Andrew.
Gavin im fairly certain that if you used your CPAP to inhale Cocaine youd probably be way more likely to overdose. Also youd lose a huge amount of what you put in for no effect. Somthing no drug addict will ever condone.
the last 10 minutes had me kicking my feet in bed from laughing so much
As someone who voted "Yes" in the poll, you gave us ZERO useful context Andrew. This hill you've chosen to take a stand on is best described as the bottom of a well. Gavin's explanation in the draft is spot on
the spider-man marvel argument is so bad cause marvel created spider-man whereas no scrumping has been a thing long before the pod
Yeah but that doesn't matter because Andrew has to be right because he's Andrew and he can't lose no matter how wrong he is.
New men's 1 a day "snortables"
I thought that poll was differentiating between Regulation/F**kface. I also voted for Gavin in the draft because I thought his answers were the funniest, sorry Andrew!
Andrew is so wrong about the regulation not regulation draft I don’t think I’ll ever vote for him on any draft he immediately gets last in the draft for me even if he has the best picks
It's extra frustrating for me because I actually agree that "no scrumping" is probably too close to Regulation. But then he absolutely should have made the same amount of fuss for more picks during that draft. So I'm mostly angry that he's just COMPLETELY ignoring the point Gavin is making that he should take issue with multiple picks instead of just no scrumping.
This episode was dangerously close to 207
Coffe news coming out on my birthday is actually wild haha wtf 🤣
Loving Eric's energy lately real Get 'Em attitude and im here for it. Edit: Got to the end, this one's a 10. Andrew tech is PEAK. Angry Eric giving up is so great.
I'm on Gavin's side with the poll
Nick choosing to die on Andrew's wrong hill about everything is very Sauce Monkey of him.
Still better than Andrew's dying on hills he's never even seen before
Andrew would be asking for a second smash burger on that flight lol
Btw guys Andrew is also playing on 60hz, might want to change it to what his monitor can use
The tech support section had me cry-laughing.
Extremely stubborn and incorrect Andrew strikes again
Andrew is the most wrong about the draft poll that he's ever been about anything and that is REALLY saying somehing.
That and the smash burger lol
I am so far from being on Andrew's side. 😆
We all are.
Let’s run another poll and ask of the context was included in the last poll and see what happens. Jesus Christ no one is this dumb
I continue to be an Andrew understander against my will.
but How though?
I am completely on Andrew's side with not eating on long flights. I live in Japan and relatively regularly fly to the US, and I almost never eat on flights. That being said I am completely against him about No Scrumping in the draft.
You don't know his set-up
My favourite thing on this show is when Eric calls out Andrew for his antics. Someone has to rein this man in and I champion Eric Baudour to do it! There is absolutely no way Andy Pants doesn’t suck down a smash burger on a 10 hour flight when his other option is a mushroom allergy burger. He can’t keep getting away with this.
I died when Eric said he usually gives Andrew a lot of leash — and launched into a proper scolding
I'm pre-mad about the polls. Edit: Andrew gave me a headache.
The context was not provided in the poll
I second this.
I love Geoff, i want his zen mode to last forever but I'm waiting for the hat to drop and I feel like the longer he's in the zone the worse it's going to be.
I used to "smoke" smarties, you grind up two against each other inside the little packet and then just suck that into your mouth without inhaling and blow the powder up towards the ceiling and I felt like a badass in middle school tricking teachers into thinking I was smoking a cigarette but I ended up being the reason we weren't allowed to have smarties anymore.
I need Eric to call Andrew out more.
Did he say "I'm un-Fappable"? I disagree with Andrew whole heartedly.
Ha, that's an old Geoff-ism.
I think I’m liking Zen Mode Geoff, it’s so positive
I can't wait to get mad about the polls
Let’s gooooooo
Woo!
Nice
