Don't Test Me // From/Fram Merch? [105]

In episode 105 of the Regulation Podcast, the hosts dive into a chaotic and hilarious mix of absurd topics, starting with a playful jab at the episode's reverse numbering (501 backwards). The conversation quickly spirals into a surreal discussion about Gavin’s sinking house and his ruined lawn, leading to increasingly impractical solutions like projecting a virtual lawn using a projector and reflective beads. The group debates the viral spread of 80s-era novelty shirts like 'Elvis had a stinky butt,' exploring how such memes spread pre-Internet. A deep dive into the fan-made website regulation lore.com.au follows, celebrating its exhaustive archive of podcast lore, including audio clips of Andrew’s catchphrases. The hosts then play a chaotic 'Andrew's Opinion Game,' testing whether he’s a 'big sauce guy' or 'big cans guy,' with Andrew defending his can-based logic. A sponsor segment promotes Factor meals, highlighting their convenience and nutrition. The episode culminates in a nostalgic deep dive into obscure gaming history, including a 2004 gaming laptop, a Game Boy save file from Whoopi Goldberg, and a fictional 'key to hell' gifted to her by Diablo 4 developers after her Mac compatibility complaints. The hosts also discuss the possibility of an 'Animal Olympics' and share a viral moment involving a polar bear and a Dinklage-sized comparison. The episode ends with a meta-commentary on streaming tech issues and community-driven content, celebrating the podcast’s growing ecosystem.
