The Herman Miller chair
During the F**kface era Andrew kept breaking his computer chair he records the podcast in, so the guys organise to have the Herman Miller company to provide Andrew with a computer chair as advertising for their company. Andrew considers sitting in it for the first time and announcing during the last episode of F**kface but doesn’t. He also doesn’t sit in it for the first time during the first episode of Regulation, Andrew claims that it never came up. Early in the start of the second episode Andrew states that he is sick of it and going to sit in the chair. The guys all agree that it is silly to do it mid episode and should be done at the start of an episode. They decide to vote on it. Gavin and Andrew vote he can sit in it immediately but the rest out vote him. Gavin tells Andrew he’s sorry and tried to help but he knew that siding with Andrew on the vote wouldn’t actually sway the vote. Then Gavin pulls a move stating that, since he paid Warner Brothers for all their F**kface content, he currently owns the chair until Regulation company pay him back. So as the boss Andrew has to wait until the start of the next episode. Before Geoff can even finish the intro to the next episode Andrew loudly announces and sits in the chair. He’s excited to have a back on his chair but is confused by all the switches and levers on his chair. Andrew doesn’t know how to operate it, the guys suggest youtube videos or to just start fiddling with it and figure it out through personal experience but Andrew isn’t so keen. The guys crack jokes but Andrew is too scared to play with it. 20 episodes later Andrew discusses the Herman Miller breaking over time. He says that on day 2 a bolt fell off it. So he puts it back in and tightens it. Every so often he would have to re-tighten it or it fell out and he had to re-screw it. Over time the chair started to look less stable so Andrew puts it on his bed to examine it. He tightened the loose bolt and learnt how to raise the height of the chair. As he sat it in, the chair dropped, the bolt flew out and broke something. The problem now is Andrew can’t access his old Rooster Teeth emails after the closure, so he can’t find his warranty.
