In this nostalgic and forward-looking Sausage Talk episode, the Regulation Podcast team reflects on their journey over the past year while charting a course for the future. They revisit long-dormant ideas like the '20,000 things not done' list, the cursed 'Moon Not Moon' draft, and the grueling 'Wheel of Decades' series, which they ultimately agree should be restructured with better timing and opt-out options. The group candidly discusses the challenges of managing concurrent high-production series like Face Off Season 2, the Spring Golf League, and Mario Party Daily, acknowledging that scheduling conflicts and personal disruptions—especially Andrew’s unexpected departure from home—created chaos. Despite the chaos, they express pride in what they’ve accomplished and emphasize the importance of community engagement, live events, and creative experimentation. Looking ahead, they express strong enthusiasm for a Route 66 road trip, reinvigorated lab work (including the long-unfinished fruit gloves), and expanding live content like Sloppy Joes and regulation wrestling. They also explore new formats like community-driven draft lists and a potential 'Liddler' for their Gerpler cups, while reaffirming their commitment to intentional, lore-rich, and community-driven content. The episode closes on a warm, reflective note, celebrating their growth and the enduring spirit of their creative machine.
