Bermuda Triangle of Bike Problems // Generational Lab Work [121]

50 turns oh my

Is the average of their burger counts the Regulation Average?

I'd argue these guys have some of the best jobs, particularly Gavin, working for yourself, with your best frends in the world, really just trying to make each other laugh as much as they can.

Central ac is a fucking rip off granted i live in northern nh and its a comfortable 62 outside right now but gav could have put a window unit in every room for less than 1 repair it would probably cost less than the air bnb geoff suggested

I have a solution, we send them a chair one piece at a time and over the course of a few months, they can build Andrew the new chair he’ll need.

The fact that Andrew's inherent anti-Gavin belief system extends all the way to the food he eats is hilarious

when Geoff was talking about the price is right game failures being funny that’s how I felt every time the minecraft build team failed or wasn’t testing during lets plays lol

Gavin and Andrew...my brothers...I feel you both, so hard, right now, on the air con situation. I may not be in Texas, or Nevada, or Arizona; I know those places get real nice and hot...but I live in New Jersey where the humidity just loves to sit right at about 179%. I also live in a 100 year-old log cabin, on a lake, that has essentially zero insulation (I rent, or I would do something about this) and Jersey's been getting up into the 110F range pretty much every summer, lately and down around -10F at times in the winter. The 6.5 years that I have lived here, the air conditioning AND the heating have Never worked. Thank god for my window AC that I recently bought and my little space heater...but, I would say that about 9 to 10 months out of the year, roughly 90% of my home is nearly (if not fully) unlivable. Should I take the landlord to court or some shit over this? ...Well, sure. Probably. But, I'm not paying as much as I would almost anywhere else in NJ and the house and area are unrealistically beautiful...so I kinda deal. I still 100% feel your pain in not having it (particularly in Texas).

Geoffs Zen and the Art of Bicycle Maintenance

Some needs to send Geoff a cargo holder for the top of his car And maybe those side bags for a motorcycle for his back fenders

I had to pause this while listening. I hope you see this Geoff. I have worked for the postal service for 10 years. As far as that window clerk telling you to stop getting packages delivered there, all you have to do is ask to speak with a supervisor about the situation. You are paying for the service of having a PO Box, it doesnt matter if a package the size of a car comes in for you, your payment is going towards having your mail and packages securely delivered and held at that PO Box for a minimum of 10 days before it can be returned to the sender. Second, as far as the police questioning, that is zero percent his business, the mail is a federal business and police work at a state level so if he really wants to see what is in that box he would have to call a postal inspector which is basically the post offices’ detective division, to inquire about what is inside of your package and the inspector can only do that if it is deemed to be dangerous or hazardous materials, leaking liquids or powders, or show physical signs of illegal items inside. I hope your future pick ups go smoothly and now i plan to send you a pack of baseball cards in a mattress box just to fuck with that office.

imma just say that i have a po box because my town is small and doesn’t do delivery and have never had a problem receiving larger packages. sounds like y’all have bad postal workers.

Spaghetti is S tier; Angel Hair is D tier.

For pizza there is a burning question I have had, what does a personal pan count as.

You guys should play Cricket on Xbox. Its free on game pass. You make gavin play all the sports. Its time for you guys to play his sport!!

Final burger count: 5

So the post office is gonna stop accepting large packages? Forgive me if I’m wrong but isn’t that their whole job?

Ya I would have lost my shit with the PO Box thing, get a warrant if you want to see what’s in my box buddy

there’s nothing I hate more than a willfully, ignorant person, and even more so on top of that someone who thinks it’s funny

I was getting so worried the golf rug caused Geoffs troubles. Then he mentioned it was a chair, I'm enjoying the story so much more now!

My final burger count was 175

my pizza count would be insane (live in nyc) but my spaghetti count would probably be maximum 2

I don't want to be weird, but Andrew said "46" at exactly 46:46 into the podcast

Every time the gang talks about tradies/ contractors being absolutely shit I am kinda baffled but also just take it as more evidence of the pervading cultural work attitude that exists in the USA I live on n Australia so things are obviously going to be different but i have never experienced, nor heard from anyone I know, of such shitty tradies being just useless and clearly ripping you off Here in Australia being a tradie is considered a pretty good job and pays well but the expectation with it is you do a good job or else you won’t get any business and people will warn others away from you if you do shit work, the trades business’ live and die by word of mouth recommendations On top of that it is considered standard for tradies to come back and fix anything that you are unhappy with or isn’t working quite right at no cost or only for the base price of parts after they do a job, basically if they fuck up they have to fix it or else their business and reputation takes a hit It isn’t uncommon to have news segments or reports broadcasted about dodgy tradies screwing customers over as a means to punish and warn away people from said contractors and tradies businesses that do shit work, this helps to keep the vast majority of them honest At the end of the day it’s clear there is a significant cultural divide between Australia and the USA when it comes to to the attitude about tradesmen jobs and the quality of work that is expected of them on the part of the contractors, obviously the people getting the work done want a good job but the tradies seem to not give a single fuck about it and it seems that people in general over there just accept that tradies are gonna be shit and complain about the experience but don’t seem to take measures to put a stop to it

Canada's national average burgers per person per year: 95. me? 30. wolrdpopulation.com says the average US citizen consumes 9.6kg (21.2 Lbs) of pizza per year

I work in Special Effects (SPFX/practical effects) for film and it’s a pretty fucking cool ass job I tell ya. You’re gunna get messy, sweaty, and wet 90% of the time but watching your hard work pay off in a crazy ass scene in a movie or tv show is always fun. I absolutely love the job. I mean I have a pyrotechnic license. Once people I just meet find out they just ask questions for hours. I love talking about it :))

I got a new air handler for free last year! With the purchase of a new $15,000 electric heat pump 🙃

if there is no national average, you can do the research with your 5 person sample size and figure out what the regulation average is.

I found a New York Post article from 2023 that suggests that the average american's pizza consumption is 180 slices per year. > A state-by-state poll of 5,000 US adults found the average person can eat over half (five slices) of an entire pizza by themselves in a single sitting and eats pizza three times in any given month — an equivalent of 180 potential slices in a single year.

I also commit to the bit. I admire Andrew's dedication to the bit.

Then my burger count ended at 38.

So Andrew only eats smash burgers now?

I'm def with Andrew: no matter how hot it is or how many fans I have, I *need* to be under a blanket of some kind

Just trying to clarify here.... Andrew keeps saying "My monitors" like he has more than one, but have we not identified that he just has one monitor, with two cables connected to it..? what is the plural here.

Final burger count: 170

Why is the post office mad? They mailed it

nick is annoying as fuck

I may be just be a petty b**ch but the PO box issue got me fired up. As a government employee i cant stand people who violate the sanctity of mail privacy especially when its another gov employee. I know you guys dont want any more drama with them but id suggest to schedule a meeting with your post master. This is one reason why the post office gets a bad rep and the post master can be on your side (not andrew style). Thanks for the content as usual gents, sorry for the misery.

Currently getting my first teeth fillings, of course I gotta listen to regulation

After listening to the whole Post Office of it all. I definitely think the branch they've chosen for the PO Box is half of the problem.

I just wanna send huge packages just with random stuff just to piss that lady off for Geoff 🤣🤣 but I would write on the outside of the box mind your business post office lady 🤣🤣🤣

I will fly down to Canada just to fix Andrew's setup because he clearly can't figure this out

PLEASE CONSIDER EGGS FOR THE NEW FOOD COUNT

The whole premise was andrew wouldn't eat it cuz it was on a plane.. why would he eat this one? Now he says "if I was to order a burger on a plane" YOU SAID NO NEVER

3 mins into the podcast, *Eric voice* this sucks.

I had the AC issues as well this year, in Phoenix which is the same level of hot as Austin. I have two units though, so just my downstairs one had the problem which made the house still livable. They also had to come out twice to fix a leak.

So if you're gonna send a package in, make sure you write Not Drugs all over it

It’s estimated that Americans eat an average of 46 slices of pizza a year… I can hit that in 3 months.

Listening to the heat talk while I mow my grass in Jacksonville Florida. Obligatory ITS HOT AF HERE comment

Can’t wait to send The Regulation Podcast a 10’x10’x10’ of pure Tungsten.

I got second hand rage from Geoff’s story, fuuuuuck nosy cops

Gavin needs to contact the lawyer for that HVAC company

Not sure if slices would work since not all pizzas have the regulation 8 slices per pizza. What if a pizza is sliced in 12s? Would the person have to specifically eat 3 slices and count them as 2 regulation slices since they'd be the same amount of pizza?

The HVAC guy is awful. They should have, and very easily could have, tested for more leaks before putting more refrigerant in.

The way I wheezed when they revealed the 4-hour video was Mario Party...

Not that it needs rehashing, but "No Scrumping" the regulation is not part of regulation podcast. The No Scrumping sign is part of regulation.

Marc_the_frog is going to be hard listening to the start of the podcast. The hand on the baby arm has a bigger hand than Trump.

To be fair it is their job to handle any size package they need to not bitch if they don't want to deal with the packaging maybe don't work at a post office

Andrew being inconsistent?! NO WAY!!

As an hvac guy I’m so livid at the company Gavin is using

Loved the reveal of Gavin yelling about people as they are in his attic!! I felt so embarrassed for him hahaha

The best job I can think of now is art department on game changer at dropout just making a new game show every episode

Gavin…sue…

I feel like if Eric handled the mail things would be better he seems like he has the right kind of energy to deal with pissy post office employees Geoff cares to much

"Rhombus of Terror"

Nah fuck that cop. Never thought Geoff would be so willing to just let the cop violate his rights. Also fuck that unprofessional post office BITCH

My final burger count - 183 September 2nd - 2 September 3rd - 1 September 7th - 1 September 8th - 1 September 11th - 1 September 13th - 1 September 14th - 2 September 16th - 1 September 18th - 1 September 20th - 1 September 21st - 2 September 26th - 1 October 8th - 2 October 9th - 2 October 16th - 1 October 18th - 4 October 19th - 1 October 20th - 3 October 22nd - 1 October 25th - 3 October 30th - 1 November 1st - 1 November 3rd - 1 November 5th - 1 November 6th - 4 November 12th - 1 November 13th - 2 November 14th - 2 November 19th - 4 November 21st - 3 November 23rd - 1 November 25th - 1 December 2nd - 1 December 5th - 5 December 6th - 4 December 11th - 4 December 25th - 1 December 26th - 1 December 27th - 1 January 3rd - 4 January 5th - 6 January 9th - 1 January 18th - 1 January 20th - 5 February 2nd - 1 February 5th - 1 February 6th - 1 February 12th - 1 February 16th - 1 February 19th - 2 February 20th - 2 February 23rd - 1 February 26th - 5 March 3rd - 1 March 5th - 1 March 7th - 1 March 12th - 1 March 14th - 1 March 20th - 2 March 21st - 8 March 30th - 2 April 2nd - 1 April 8th - 1 April 11th - 1 April 12th - 2 April 16th - 1 April 22nd - 2 April 24th - 2 May 1st - 1 May 2nd - 1 May 3rd - 2 May 8th - 2 May 20th - 4 May 23rd - 1 May 24th - 1 June 5th - 1 June 16th - 1 June 23rd - 1 June 25th - 1 June 26th - 1 July 4th - 1 July 6th - 2 July 10th - 1 July 13th - 2 July 14th - 2 July 18th - 2 July 19th - 2 July 24th - 4 July 29th - 1 August 1st - 1 August 6th - 1 August 9th - 2 August 10th - 4 August 14th - 1 August 17th - 1 August 18th - 1 August 19th - 1 August 31st - 1

Ya Gavin’s ac unit issues sounds like a nightmare, I feel it would be more cost effective to just replace the whole damn unit. I had to replace my 42 year old ac unit two years ago. Cost me $11k which sucked but I got a new ac unit and heater.

As a professional maintenance worker, do not feel self conscious Gavin. That's 100% their fault, the first thing they should have done is check the entire system for leaks before wasting freon like that

Geoff's next nickname: Geoffrey to Some

Marc is gonna lose his shit over this one.

Gavin it sounds like you hired blind toddlers to fix your AC

6mins in and my 1st thought is Gavin needs to fly Markthefrog out to see his ac🤣

someone should interview Ridley Scott about his next Alien film with a chestburster poking out of their shirt holding the mic.

Im so glad I live in New England and use annoying windows unit ACs. At least I've never had to deal with that kind of madness

America has the worst people on earth apparently, thanks for that awful story Geoff

The only thing that will upset the Post workers more at this point is mailing the podcast extremely perishable foods and drinks

I work in LTL freight. I can think of several fun items to send to the P.O. Box that would test Geoff's zen. Maybe some taxidermy?

“YELLED AT?!?!” patent that baby mic now! 132🍔

idk i feel like Geoff could’ve circumvented a lot of this post office issues by just telling them he runs a card opening live stream every week and people send in packages to be opened

12:21-> and in the darkness bind him, in the land of mordor where the shadow lies

I feel like Andrew has been getting it pretty hard in the comments recently. Keep doing your thing, Andrew - you bring the chaos that makes this pod so special

GUYS pretty please heed my warnings 😪 The spotlights on the suits!!! Textiles are very susceptible to light damage (which is cumulative over time) you might see some really severe fading on the snake eyes suit especially if you keep this up, you have been warned !!

Nah while I feel for Geoff for the mail thing, fuck those post people. That ac company deserves all the complaints, especially if it’s the same people working. Holy shit this years advent calendar sounds stacked as hell. I am looking forward to it so much. Final Regulation Burger Count: 200

Shit, I was JUST about to send a port-a-potty to the P.O. Box

Absolutely hate overly curious police that overstep the scope of their job. Abuse of their authority. Geoff willingly opened it, but if he hadn't I suspect Geoff would have been forced to under threat of arrest.

Feel like if Geoff is telling the story truthfully he is in part hurting his own cause by not at least saying he has a show and fans and people send him stuff. It might not help much but it might land better than saying I don't know and being cagey about it. It literally might seem to them like some hoarder dude with a problem not wanting to admit it out loud.

Midnight release woo

New phone dis- OH, Regulation? Hell yeah, brother!
