Gavin historically gets a lot of crap, he's called a piece of shit a lot (commonly by himself, which. Stop it.), but Geoff recounting how hard Gavin tried to find his glasses, and Gavin's answer being basically "it was the right thing to do." Boy with the golden heart, right there. Genuinely brought tears to my eyes. Not full crying, but just. Aww :) what good friends these two are.

the beginning of this ep hit me like a truck at an intersection. i remember so vividly being halfway through writing an email for work and i looking down at my phone to see the news, and it felt so impossible that it could be true, i just went right back to writing the email. roughly ten minutes later i started sobbing, and then kept crying for 2 days straight. david lynch david lynch was such a guiding light in my life. him and his work influenced me to go to art school and i ended up making some films because of him and then i wrote my dissertation on twin peaks and on and on and yeah, maybe i wouldve still accomplished some cool things without him, but i wouldnt be who i am today. what a man. what an icon. and whats funny is that the reason i even got into twin peaks was because i heard geoff mention it once. so he's very much up there with him. im glad im only just now watching (listening) to this episode because at the time this would've broken me completely. to whoever might be reading this: keep your eye on the donut, not on the hole.

Wesley Peede

Way too late to the party here but for hockey if the score is tied at the end of regulation, remove 1 player every two minutes and first to score wins. Similarly for soccer if tied at the end of regulation, remove players but also add a ball every 5 minutes, first to score wins.

Brian Burkhardt

The belly button being separate from the hole is killing me in an Uber rn.

Brian Burkhardt

Tres Leche is 100% a sloppy wet cake. It is a delicious one, but it is one for sure.

Brian Burkhardt

RiP David Lynch. Stopped smoking around the time he announced the emphysema.

Chelsea D'Amore

It's never a good sign when I understand what Andrew is saying and it happens more frequently than I care to admit.

Folds2008

Just so happens this hawk was used for falconry lol

Sarah Dawn Richardson

I was like "well aren't all hawks falcons??" But was misremembering the umbrella term is Raptor, not falcon 🥴

Russ

David Lynch was maybe the most expressive artist to ever live. Inspired me in so many ways other than just creatively. A truly wonderful man.

J

kinda late to this, but is Andrew working under the idea that the belly button is a knot on the surface, and UNDER THE KNOT is a closed off tunnel leading into the body? Like a closed off tube that once carried the mom's food into the baby's stomach? Because someone needs to let him know that that is not how babies getting fed in the womb works (I admittedly only learned of this fact in the last year or two)

ShoweryBinkie

With the movie draft why don’t you have each of you select 4 movies from your year. Then that is the draft pool a 20 movie shootout

AArthriticGamer

I'm giving this one a 9.5 Sure it didn't make any sense, but I'm a 72 year old Boomer, so nothing makes any sense. I just love it when the nonsense is funny, and this one was funny.

Owen Webb O Rourke

How did Andrew make talking about bellybuttons feel racist

Melissa G

That's EXACTLY what I thought too. Him committing to avoiding clarification that he has an outie and that's what his reference is lead to insanity.

Joshua Neditch

The only change I’d make is have 3 on 3 OF last 20 minutes and get rid of the shootout

VaelysAU

"Let's go spend a couple days in and by the ocean, but not get anything to retain our glasses!" Get some lanyards for them, this is a complete non-issue.

Folds2008

Sorry! Lots of bad avian news I know

Brian Short

c'mon, dude! they're just getting over the whole bald-eagles-don't-sound-like-red-tailed-hawks thing.

Astrid Fairwinds

I'd much rather overtime during the season be 5 mins of 5v5. And a new puck added every 5 minutes instead of the shootout tbh.

Astrid Fairwinds

Andrew, I'm not mad. I'm just incredibly confused about how you brain works.

Joe

This rules Andrew you think about things in ways I think no human has ever thought about them and I don’t know what to think about that

Folds2008

Does anyone have the heart to tell them that’s not a falcon and it’s a Harris Hawk :/

JP

Is Andrew ok?

Vivian Strader

I can never see these episodes on YouTube music, it's usually a day late but this one doesn't show at all?

Russell Richardson

Cheers!

Emma Jorgensen

Okay hear me out but I found someone who reminds me so much of Andrew it’s uncanny. His name is Nick Smith on TikTok and they have way too much in common when it comes to their approach on life. He’s friends either TikTok comedian Matteo Lane.

StoneRyno

10/10, Andrew isn’t wrong the bellybutton is a weak point. You can’t have a fear of a Matrix worm burrowing into your bellybutton if you don’t have one!

Joshua Neditch

Please don’t mess with the beautiful game of Hockey

Shadadowz

Took me 3 days to get through the last 30 minute belly button talk. I just. What the f. Andrew. Are you just self conscious about having an outtie belly button? Like this conversation has me fn floored man. Idek what to think. I think I'm gonna need to relisten to this 5 more times.

SomeDumbCat

10/10 episode

Soots

Agree, this is instant classic episode

Linky

Nothing brings me more joy than listening to these idiot men gab for an hour. Their laughter (at each other) fuels me through all the bullshit going on around us 😂

Furitaurus

This is the dumbest and funniest shit I listen to. Thank you, all 5 of you, for making me laugh so hard, even when everything else sucks.

R S

Either Andrew is playing the character of a dumb person and spends hours coming up with things he can pretend not to know, or he is actually the dumbest fucking person in the world. Good grief

Marco Ameneyro

Mexican here. That's not how you pronounce skwinkles. Its more like skwink-less. The originals look like red liquorice sticks covered in chili powder. Also the name is a misspelling of the word 'escuincle', which means kid. It's a very mexican word of Náhuatl origin. Skwinklote (escuinclote) would mean big kid.

Tim Lyen

I think most of their backgrounds are from either No Man's Sky or Fallout: 76

Em

With two pucks I imagined before and after photos of players having one missing tooth to several/all gums 😂

Joseph Caputo

I am so here for Squirrel Lite. Also, for the Draft / Ranker, you guys should make it the goal to have the widest range across the rankings, which would make the draft have an awesome twist to it

Jacob Hoover

Watching this at work (HEB) and I will now be getting Skwinkles at the end of my shift.

Communist bigfoot

Why? Its no different than movie trailers or sneak previews. Just a glimpse of upcoming content to make you excited for what’s coming next.

Andrey Chichagov

Skwinke hard or die trying

Lukow

Spummin summer to skwinkle winter

Russell Richardson

Anybody know what this background is it’s very pretty. I was thinking Witcher three. But my memory is not so great. EDIT: never mind I just noticed there’s a electrical tower in the back 🤣

comment leaver.

What the hell did i just listen to.

Russell Richardson

The world is going to shit. I’m so glad I’ve got y’all to listen to. It’s gonna be a long four years. 😓 thank you for being here.

Jeffrey Brady

I think i get what Andrew is saying. The belly button knot would move separately from the inner/indent. Or would the indent move with the knot. Like the knot is on my should but i still have inny that indents in and is just smooth like a latex glove finger. Love you ppls

cyanann

fun fact: skwinkle is the anglicized spelling for the spanish word escuincle, which has it's origins in the nahualt word itzcuintli, meaning "hairless dog". The mexican hairless dog, xoloitzcuintle, shares an etimological ancestor with escuincle, but escuincle just means kid/brat.

cyanann

oh i feel like geoff would love 17776

Sumbuddy

Is Josh Johnson the comic Millie watches? Because he’s legit, he puts out like a half hour of new topical standup every week

cyanann

I'm mexican-american so trust when I say I completely understand the sentiment but at the end of the day, our money funded that weekend getaway, so if you gotta take it up with anyone, take it up with yourself.

cyanann

not too much on skwinkles, that's a lot of our childhoods 😅

cyanann

that's the mexican way. you'd me surprised how many taquerias we have with Goku on the side of the building.

Victor Cuellar

The word is pronounced skwink-les which is slang for little kids or runts in parts of Mexico. The duck is the mascot of the Lucas company and he's called: Pato Lucas. Most of my childhood was in Mexico. If y'all need a guy to send y'all some Lucas products once y'all have a PO box.

Girth Worm Jim

I think they wanted less Sausage Talk in the episode - probably hoping they actually release a specific Sausage Talk episode. I absolutely love the Regulation crew, but I think a lot of us are tired of hearing about content months before it comes out.

Adam Matthews

Drunk Squirrel https://youtu.be/0b3WJx4hhaM?si=9QCO6eZIYtk8FREE

JivetheSuperTurkey

My only reference to Lucas is those fuckin little barrels of literally just salt and lime. Now whenever I see that duck I think whatever he's selling is gonna be salty as shit

Isaiah

I don’t know if this has been said already, but when the guys were talking about teams not being to play because they “ran out of equipment” kind of happened this most recent Formula 1 season. Williams had a driver crash and didn’t have a backup in time so they took their second drivers car and gave it to the guy who crashed because he’s better I guess. Not really the same as football or baseball but still pretty funny

Trent Shubirg

From the podcast that brought you the Jet Ski Club sunglasses strap, the episode where they talk about losing their sunglasses in the ocean for like 20 minutes hahaha.

Ghintec

Oh my god, Andrew is the Canadian Karl Pilkington!

Kyle Ruiz

Isn't the triangle bird the fast bird in angry birds?

Chase Schroeder

This is my plea to please bring back shirt haver and vck shirts. Mine have lost all their decals and I need to confuse anyone who sees my shirts

Aidan Dressler

I immediately understood what Andrew was asking with the belly button thing. That being said it is still an insane clarification. It’s a belly button.

Jeff Freeman

He called the death star a ball

Gabriel Rosenkoetter

Speaking as someone who's lost a pair of sunglasses in the (albeit, Atlantic, rather than Pacific, ocean) I did precisely what Geoff did, but I had no such luck.

Tim Lyen

The company that makes Skwinkles is "Lucas" is probably from the Mexican "Daffy Duck" which is "Pato Lucas". It looks like the company literally ripped off the Daffy Duck character and just made him a white duck instead of a black duck

laul

re: football talk. everyone needs to read 17776 immediately

laul

the funniest candy I’ve seen irl was Crunky from japan. but skwinkles may take the cake on that one

Sablever

When [Unnamed Comedian #1] hears you stole his idea he's gonna be pissed. Also, watch Star Wars already Andrew. Wtf. How have you seen like every movie in existance but never watched Star Wars.

Joakim XwIIcK Lundberg

Regulation Algorithm comment! Thanks for all the hard work on these videos/podcasts lads!

Ian M

Eric, that's a 9—a real nine. Gavin attempting to speak stumbled things up. Otherwise, it was perfect.

CloudyVro

This is a classic episode for the hole of it all.

Leo Stanwix

This is an all-timer. One of the best episodes of podcasting I've had the pleasure to listen to. I want a scientist to study how all of your brains work. It's indescribable how chaotic and brilliant you guys are in a group with so many conflicting ideas and opinions. After finishing this podcast, I read the title and was reminded of the Skwinkles bit at the start and at that moment it felt like the Skwinkles bit was like a year ago. I have nothing else to say, just wow. That was an excellent hour of new content.

Sam

The talon is the nail at the end of the digit. Also, started watching Twin Peaks. Looking forward to more!

B.T. Express

My gf and I have been using the made-up term skwinkle for years. Shocked to learn its actually a thing...

Tony K

lol lactase dlc

Adam

David who like … did this man make a good movie like at least Clint made like 2-4 good movies.

Marco aka SillyFaceZero!

Gavin u bog wet bread sponge, tres leches fucks, wet cake is prime, and i don’t have the lactase dlc

Platypie

That was a 10.5. I had to stop what I was doing more than once from laughing too hard

MaplexSyrup

This was an 8

Carson Thorn

hearing geoff learn about Lynch made me much sadder than I anticipated

Daniel Brown

Does Andrew not have a belly button?

Dirk Van Daele

Andrew has an AI bot calling in for the podcast so he can play GTA. If Andrew exist at all. I'm not sure anymore.

Dirk Van Daele

Clones exist, but we call them identical twins.

WW2ranger

Yes Gavin. 100%

Dirk Van Daele

The King League invented by Piqué is footbal (soccer) improved by creative rules. It is very popular, so it is possible to improve a sport.

A98W

Andrew really is a gift to the world

Dirk Van Daele

You can use a hat to shield your eyes from the sun. Why do you think Mexicans use a sombrero for? Hats float more than sunglasses and are cheaper. You need one anyway for protection against heat stroke.

Spencer Hinkle

I know I’m being sensitive and I know this was weeks ago and I am happy they get to have fun experiences, but after this week there is just something upsetting about hearing about their amazing, wonderful, probably expensive trip to Mexico. Please don’t come at me too hard for this opinion.

Lev

The Tres Leches slander is insane.

Thomas

This one is for the skwinkheads

GlazedMcGuffin

Also, belly buttons are not as secure as everyone is making out. Just look up urachus.

GlazedMcGuffin

Piercing holes are fistulas, and will stop healing over once they are stretched to around 10mm or so. They will still shrink if you don't put anything in it for a while, but not heal over completely. So, in response to Geoff's proposition, if your butt hole gets stretched out enough, you shouldn't need to 're-pierce' it. But thanks for the horrific mental images.

Sean

A joy as always

Kyle V

will Skwinkfest feature Skwink-182?

Littleroot Lessons

Are we all just going to ignore that Andrew has never seen Star Wars?

Communist bigfoot

I could not disagree more with the person who said less sausage talk. And I think the majority of the audience would agree with me, especially if you go and look at how many views previous sausage talks have gotten.

Shadadowz

I want a girl who looks at me the same way Eric does when the falcon takes flight

Offbeat Creates

Got me screaming at 5 in the morning xD I love this episode!!

Sam

literally have never heard eric be more Wrong than when he claimed tres leches cake wasnt WET ?? if its not absolutely SOAKED in milk and sitting in a puddle you've done it terribly wrong

DudeRetro

"What did you just learn" is hilarious

Anthony Dewitt

Your guys pronunciation of skwinkles is great. Just hearing about them brings back so many childhood memories. Geoff you’re a hero, I don’t understand why anybody would bring something valuable and not secure it somehow. Andrews mind is a wonderful thing sometimes. On the clone thing, bdsm is a thing.

Dirk Bogan

Instant classic of an episode, holy shit

Summer

geoff was the first person I thought of when I heard the news. also seconding don’t smoke. it’s bad for you. source: dead mom from lung cancer. bunches. grapes grow in bunches. not pods. if skwinkles come in chunks do they also have creamy? skwinks unite! the ratman was afraid of the bird with sharp toenails. gavin doesn’t like soggy milk cake? shocker. look at the sheen! oura ring: 7 shits but you slept well I wonder how often Meg and Emily and Eric’s Smol Wife look at each other and question some of their life choices. the sport that regularly breaks out in fist fights needs more tension? agreed. my food bar would always be full but I’d be constantly dying of exhaustion and thirst. six pack of squirrels: next regulation shirt. andrew definitely grew up being told that if he kept playing with his belly button he’d dig into his stomach. 🪢 🕳️❔ imagine if your mouth moves around your body but not the opening? 😳 not here for butthole hymens. strategic defensive deficiencies…? to the kool-aid man every wall is a door. got pretty existential there. yeah, it was the belly button. rating: 9.7/10
