Episode 100 // Gavin Gets Dongle'd [100]

The Regulation Podcast celebrates its 100th episode with a chaotic, self-aware, and deeply personal milestone. Hosts Jeff Ramsey, Andrew Panton, Gavin Freeh, Eric Bedore, and Nick Schwartz reflect on their journey, blending absurd humor with heartfelt gratitude. The episode is framed around a surprise 'tub celebration'—all hosts record from bathtubs while eating cupcakes, a whimsical gesture that underscores their unique, community-driven culture. The conversation meanders through bizarre anecdotes: Jeff accidentally blocking a women’s bathroom door, Andrew’s obsession with Beyblades versus the two-step dance, and the existential dread of time travel choices.
