Welcome to Ear Biscuits, the podcast where two lifelong friends talk about life for a long time.

I'm Rhett. And I'm Link. This week at the round table of dim lighting, we're clearing some things up. We're hearing from you and the voicemails that you leave us because they've accumulated. and the voicemails that you leave us because they've accumulated. There's a few we just need. We got to hear, we got to respond to your responses, you know, because we keep saying,

you know, at the end of every Ear Biscuit, we're like, let us know what you think. 1-888-EAR-POD-1. So we got to get into that. First though, you notice anything different about me? No, same old, same old, emphasis on old. Different in the way that I'm doing something right now? Well, have you been doing it all day

and I haven't noticed or did you change it when you sat down here? I literally changed it in your presence, just now, in the way that I'm doing something. You're drinking with your left hand. Ah! Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding! Well, what do I win?

You win me telling you why I'm drinking with my left hand. Why you drinking with your left hand? You notice me doing anything right now? Drinking with your left hand, but you already do, and so I don't know how beneficial this is gonna be for you. Okay? Because I can do things with both hands. But this may be beneficial for those of you out there who are very strongly one-handed. Right? Link's got... he's an enigma.

I divide and conquer. But you did not make a conscious decision. No, it just happened. Right. Do you drink with your left hand on this podcast because it's on the outside and not on the inside? Yeah. I can drink with either hand.

Also, the desk that we sit at for GMM, similar arrangement. The cup is on, the mug is on your left. And my wrist, my right wrist is hurt right now, so I'm trying to actually use it less. I do not know how I hurt it. I'm 46 years old, or am I 45? You're 45.

Good. I'm 45 years old. I find that things hurt, and I don't know why, and then two weeks later, it's still hurting. Might need a brace. I have one. So, again, this is one of those things that I had heard, but then when you start hearing it over and over again

from seemingly qualified people on TikTok, like people who have, like, MD in the name of their TikTok channel, and you're like, I guess it means they're a doctor. But then I actually did look it up to make sure that this was legitimate. I guess I think I know where you're going with this. If you start doing things with your other hand, it is apparently really great for your brain. And it literally can address like brain fog and it,

so I'm so right-handed. I am so right-handed. How right-handed are you? I'm so right-handed that I do everything with my right hand. Do you, and I don't, you know what I'm saying? Again, we're so strange. So, I don't have an explanation for that. I don't know how know what I'm saying? Again, we're so strange. I don't have an explanation for that.

I don't know how much you can benefit from this. I honestly don't. The fact that you hold your phone with your left hand, and we've been through this before, it's wild. Some of the stuff that you do with your left hand is just- I exclusively use my phone with my left hand, and I'm right-handed. And that is why. I think you're ambidextrous.

I just think that you're much more ambidextrous than you really realize. I don't even know how to use my right hand. You hold a microphone with your left hand. I'm saying that most people who are very one-handed... It's because I keep my dominant hand ready for action. But I'm saying the fact that you didn't make a conscious choice for any of that stuff means that you naturally aren't really strongly one-handed. Right.

Right? Or that I'm just brilliant. Could be. The number one thing that they tell you to do is to start brushing your teeth with your left hand, with your other hand. Okay. Now, are you a right-handed toothbrusher? That's high stakes.

Definitely right-handed toothbrusher. Are you a right-handed... When you shave, do you shave the right side of your face with the right hand and then switch the razor? No. Again, that is too high stakes to start going with the other hand. I'm so right-handed.

Like, I brush every hair with the right hand. I shave every hair. Well, I don't shave, but I shave up here, and I shave my neck. Yeah, I do all that with the right hand. I shave the back of my neck sometimes with a two-mirror situation. And you know what? I will break out the left hand for this side because it's very difficult with the mirror.

Well, there you go. What about driving a car? You seriously have your... If you're going to drive with one hand, it's the, there you go. What about driving a car? You seriously have your... If you're gonna drive with one hand, it's the right hand on the steering wheel? No, I drive... No, I can steer with my left hand. But do you more often steer with your left hand?

I more often steer with my left hand because I did learn how to drive a stick shift at some point. That's not the reason, though. The reason is just because everything else is on the right side of the car. Radio, cups. Exactly. So it's functional. I'm just saying it's functional.

So in the times when it's been functional, yes, but there's no increased function in brushing my teeth with my left hand. And so most people just brush their teeth with their on hand. So the benefits, you can look them up. Did you say on hand? On hand and off hand. I don, so the benefits, you can look them up. Did you say on hand? On hand and off hand. Oh. I don't know. I just made it up. Okay.

Your main hand and your second hand. But the benefits are basically, there's a bunch of them. Stuff that happens in your brain, things that get activated, new pathways get activated. And it's one of the, you know, there's all these things that you can do to sort of stave off dementia

and, you know, whether it's like an actual diagnosis of dementia or whether or not it's just brain health in general and doing things with your other hand, learning new things. It's like learning a new language. And for the past two days, I've been brushing with a left hand and I am, boy, I'm missing some stuff.

I know you are. But I will break through. Now I'm spending extra time, cause I'm like, whoa, oh, oh, I'm finding new angles. And I'm like, oh, well this is interesting. I'm hitting that in a different way. And of course I have an electric toothbrush, so I don't have to do too much work. Do you have an electric toothbrush?

Yeah. So it's just placement. It's just making sure it's placed in the right place. And, you know, after my dentist appointment where the dentist was like, you know, you need to come every four months, and I've been fighting, you know, I've been fighting. I got the 45 degrees, so I've gotta worry about the angle. The dentist thing and this information, like every piece of information,

you're not able to ignore information. That's what you need to work on. Is that a problem? I think so, I think you're- Hold on, hold on, I'm bringing something of benefit to myself and to anyone else who will listen, and your reaction is you can't ignore information as if I have a problem with this particular information?

This is beautiful information. It's great, but at a certain point, I'm just concerned for, it's like... You think my brain's going to fill up? What are you worried about? It's probably good. Maybe it's good for your brain, but it's not good for you. My brain empties things all the time. Like, this is the deal. You think my brain's gonna fill up? What do you worry about? It's probably good, maybe it's good for your brain, but it's not good for you.

My brain empties things all the time. Like, this is the deal. I don't remember any of the lyrics to our early songs. You do. Those get emptied out. They keep getting emptied out. So you hold onto those, and I'm gonna keep getting the new stuff,

and then if I need to think about the lyrics to like Nerd versus Geek, I'll just bring them up on the internet or I'll ask you. So I have not switched hands brushing, but I have switched my order of brushing. I've reversed that. And I think that's kind of a brain stimulation thing. Instead of starting in the upper left,

I start in the upper right. Cause I started to get concerned that the teeth on the upper left side of my mouth are getting... No, that's where I start. They're first fruits. They're getting the best toothpaste. Oh, toothpaste, yeah. And then the toothpaste is gone by the time I get

down here in my established route. So I'm reversing my route. Like a paper boy. I should reverse my reversing my route. Like a paper boy. I should reverse my hand and my route. So you brush your teeth. So you need to reverse your route. Well, I'm figuring all, I mean, I'm establishing, it's like a baby.

It's like they gave me the arm of a baby. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? This baby has no idea how to brush its teeth. Is that hand small? It doesn't even understand what it's doing. It feels so dumb. This hand feels so dumb. This hand, this hand is exquisite. Like the right hand, it's like,

in fact, I realized that I had gotten to a place because I used to brush with just a manual, an old school brush, and I had a little special, little vibration that I had put in and I would move it around, like circular. And then I realized that it basically was just built in. In my hand was this built-in thing that would just keep it moving. Giration.

And now I'm trying to gain it with this, and I'm so far from that. This is still a baby hand, still trying to brush adult teeth. And then I'm going to do the shaving thing. I'm going to start brushing. I'm going left hand over as many things as I possibly can. What else? Writing? No.

I don't... Why not? I don't ever write anything. You know, I type. Yeah. I'm switching my hands on the keyboard to the other side. No, um... Well, things that you do with both hands, like play a guitar, it's not gonna help you. I mean, switching, it would create new pathways, but that would be damn difficult. It would be much harder for the right hand to learn how to play chords.

That would be the problem, yeah. But that would be good for your brain to learn something new. I am doing a version of this. And I told you about it in the car biscuit, which is exclusive to the Mythical Society. So I will share this information here. But if you really want

the most candid car conversations you've ever witnessed, I mean, you need to check it out. The Car Biscuit's on the Mythical Society every month. Anyway, I'm learning some new DJ skills. And one of those is that you manipulate the turntable on your right, of course, with your right hand, and then the mixer with your left hand, and then to manipulate the turntable on your left, you really should do that with your left hand, so then your right hand moves to the mixer.

You should never cross. So, right, you don't cross your hands. So at that point, it's a mirrored thing. It's like brushing with the right hand, brushing with the left hand. Yeah. And I don't know what it is. Like, you were like, it's good for your brain. And Christy's also like, oh, that's good for your brain.

Everybody's so excited about when Link does something that would help his brain. I don't know how to interpret that, you know? that would help his brain. I don't know how to interpret that. You know? People who love me light up when they think I'm doing something to help my brain. I think it's because, and this isn't the jokey answer,

this is the true answer, is that... This might hurt then. No, no. It's because Christy has probably read, just like I have read, that routine-oriented people get in a brain rut.

Are much more susceptible to brain issues as they age. So if you are like, I got this thing that I do, and I do it the same way every day, then, and again, I'm just a guy who goes on the internet, and so I'm not quoting studies or whatever, but when I've gotten that information about this, they're like, changing up your routines in general is a great way to keep your brain engaged.

And so because you're so routine oriented, I think that's why the people in your life are like, hey, you know, make sure you're not getting into a rut on this. Because you do a lot of things that are very much like you can imagine that the 85-year-old Link is going to live a lot like the 45-year-old Link. Well, and I am 45. You are, see? And nothing more than that.

And you didn't know that immediately. Well, who really does at a certain point? I did, but it's okay. I can't remember what I was going to say now. And that's also not a joke. You got to brush with your... Well, you got to brush with something else. What did I start saying?

A foot. You got to move to the feet. Crap. I've fallen right into your trap. I... It is true. I'm very oriented. DJ.

Routine oriented. No, routine oriented. But even at this ripe old age of 45, with every routine, I'm still constantly scrutinizing new things to change and tweak about my routine. You're engaged in the routine. I'm very engaged. I'm not mindless with it. Okay. That's probably helpful.

But what are you going to do with your left hand? Are you going to start opening doors with your left hand? I've been thinking a lot about it, and I do think that holding my phone with my left hand, scrolling, one-hand texting, that kind of thing. You should have a bracelet on your right hand or a glove or a mitten or just wear a sling. I mean, when I brought my collarbone, I had to use that left hand a lot. Christy, she fell off a bar stool when she was in kindergarten. Might have been first grade. Because she had a drinking problem as a kindergartner.

Yeah, she was just always propped up on those bar stools, guzzling the sippy drinks. It happens. It happens. She fell off, broke her arm, and so she had to learn to write with her right hand. She's left-handed. Yeah, and that is— And now she would wow her geometry students when she taught high school when we first married, by writing with both hands on the board. At the same time.

At the same time, yeah. She'd write stuff. That is another thing that I've thought about as I've done it, I've been like, who knows? Break your arm. I'll break my arm, something will happen in my right hand. And then your left hand is like, yeah,

I've been in the wings waiting for this moment. I've brushed quite a bit, I've shaven. So the kicker is motivating you by, you might lose a hand. This is good for my brain and also if I lose a hand. No, here's the thing. Well, first of all, I like to keep my brain engaged. It's a fun little exercise in general.

And I've always, you know know learning a language is it's just yeah like legitimately learning a language it's like until i find myself immersed in another culture it's not gonna happen well i do have a coupon code for i know um but i'm saying that like becoming fluent in another language which is like a dream but not realistic, but becoming fluent in left-handed brushing feels like a good baby step. You can do that. And accomplishes not to the same degree probably but a similar thing. Like just learning something new.

I just want to keep doing that, right? It would be like, oh, let's learn how to do this thing or learn about this concept. But the thing is, is that when it comes to the physical, it's doing something different than just like, oh, reading another book about something new, which is probably all going to the same place. Well, I really backed into it with this learning how to DJ.

Now I'm taking a DJ Jazzy Jeff course, and I'm actually learning all this stuff. And you're doing it. I was like, wow, I've really tricked myself into learning something new. That's the best way to do it. I found, I was like, whoa, whoa, hold on. Wait a second.

I'm learning something. It's mental, it's physical. It involves problem solving. I spent most of my time just trying to make my equipment work, not just learn the techniques, It's mental, it's physical, it involves problem solving. I spent most of my time just trying to make my equipment work, not just learn the techniques, but like, yeah, I'm actually feeling good about that. But I'm gonna start using,

I'll use my phone with my right hand and I'll do more lovemaking techniques with my left hand. No, yes, with my right hand as well. So, yeah, let's talk about that for a moment. You know, we can use. I'd rather not. How does one, how does one decide that they are going to, I mean, touch themselves.

You talking about when I'm, as a- Yeah, like as a teen boy, you are like, I'm gonna do this thing. I don't know. And you're gonna start with the left hand. What would you, was the right hand tied somewhere? Like how, literally, how does that happen? Like, I don't- Yeah, it was fuzzy handcuffed to me.

To my bedpost. That is a proof that you're ambidextrous. I mean, how could you begin manipulating yourself with the other hand? I don't know. I really don't know. It's closer to it. Maybe my left.

Does it bend that way? I think my left, no. I think my left arm is longer. That must be what it is. But it is. I don't know. Like I'm looking for an explanation, right? It is so strange, isn't it?

It is strange. So I'm gonna use my left, obviously it wasn't calculated. And the fact that it wasn't calculated is like, oh, like when I'm in my body, like right now, if you were to enter my body, you would feel- A pull to the right hand.

That one hand was ready for anything. Like, I think, I mean, it might, you would need an adjustment period to understand how capable this right hand is. Maybe it has something to do with baseball. And then you would be flabbergasted at how baby-like the left-handed feels. You're like, is this the same guy?

But I assume... But baseball, I was always a good catcher. Because I was using what I thought was my offed hand to catch. Well, baseball's weird, you know? It's funny, because Shepard has taken up baseball, which... What? Just out of the blue.

He's like, I'm playing baseball. And I was like, oh, I didn't know, like Shepard's never really been too much about sports and I've never pushed it, you know? But he on his own is like, me and some friends are playing baseball. So we got gloves and a ball and we played catch the other day.

And I was like, oh, this is how, I haven't done this, got gloves and a ball and we played catch the other day. And I was like, oh, this is how, I haven't done this because me and Locke didn't really play baseball. But yeah, it's funny how it comes- This meaning father throwing a baseball to his son? Is that what you were calling this? The act of catching a ball with your left hand and then throwing it. It's amazing how quickly it comes back.

But it's so interesting that like, it feels, anything that you've actually trained your left hand to do, it's like, yep, not awkward. Like catching feels awkward with the right hand. It feels awkward to think about that, but you put a glove on this. I mean, I can catch a ball. I can catch a ball with either hand because of T-ball.

You know? Because I could always catch a ball with my right hand. But I was, from the get, I was trained to catch a ball with the mitt on my left hand. It's kind of like catching a Frisbee with one hand. You're right. I'll catch a Frisbee with my right hand by itself sometimes. Yeah. But I could also do it with my left hand because of baseball.

Mm-hmm. I wonder if people who don't play baseball, I mean, they probably can't catch with their left hand. I don't know. We got to find some people and throw stuff at them. I mean, did you ever play baseball, Jamie? No, not really. Can you catch with your left hand?

Yeah. No, don't just say yeah. Yeah, I can though. Like I'm throwing an invisible thing. Well, here, you want to toss my hat to me? Yeah. Okay, don't just say yeah. Yeah, I can though. Like I'm throwing an invisible thing. Prove it! Well here, you wanna toss my hat to me? Yeah. Okay.

See, I just caught it with my left hand. Okay, throw it back. Pretty cool. Well. You didn't even see it coming. Yeah, I didn't. It was at the table. It's kinda low, it's rather dirty now.

There's no way to throw it to you right here. Yeah, you're so protected back there. I know. There's so many things. Your left hand did not move. Well, because I saw it come down this way. Throw it again. Okay, throw it.

You got to throw it in this area. Throws with the right. Maybe I can't. Missed. Yeah, that was. I missed the hat. But I swear, like back in the, because we used to play, when you're not playing baseball, you also just used to play like throw the ball around.

Yeah, but with your dominant hand. You would throw and catch with the dominant hand you throw you would throw and catch with the same but if it goes over there you reach yeah that's what i'm saying well there's also okay this is like this is like kind of like a beer drinking game it's called beer die you have to throw a die up and you have to go and run and catch it and so you can only catch with one hand so i kind of like because your beer's in the other hand well that's just the thing if you catch with two hands and you have to drink oh yeah so you can catch with one hand so that's just the thing if you catch with two hands and you have to drink oh yeah okay so you can catch with one hand so that's why i learned to kind of catch with my left hand because

if the die bounces that way you got to go that way it's easier okay yeah but isn't the objective to drink though well no and if you if you make yourself drink in that one you'll be that's a problem okay problem because it'll happen a lot i just think it depends on the You didn't really support our theory But that's okay You don't have to You're on purpose I know I'm sorry Okay It just depends on what

Your activities of life I feel so weird I'm so disconnected The brushing the teeth thing What a baby hand That I can't even That sounds weird to me

You gotta start That's a good one Also starting on the top Sounds weird to me Oh really I start on the bottom No no no You gotta start. That's a good one. Also, starting on the top sounds weird to me. Oh, really? I start on the bottom. No, no, no. You wanna start on the top.

That way, even though it doesn't get the good pace on the bottom, if you're going there in a delayed routine, the pace will travel from the top to the bottom, and you might still get some good pace. I don't know if you get bad pace at the end. I know. I agree with starting on the top. That's just how I overthink it. But I think by the time you get bad paste at the end I agree with starting on the top That's just how I overthink it

But I think by the time you get to the bottom You've suds You've got suds in there You know what I'm saying? I do I'm not gonna disagree with that Show them the shirt We're promoting this shirt

Yes This is a It's a cool shirt What are we calling this? We're calling it the GM Yes. This is a... It's a cool shirt. What are we calling this? We're calling it the GMM Set in a Bottle tee because we've got the desk inside of a bottle. There's a wave. You know, it's like a wooden ship.

I like it. I like these neutral colors. I'm always a fan of that. Yeah, and it's soft. It's easy to say yes to. I don't know if you could tell if you're watching the video. It's a light. It's an off-white.

It's an off-white. I would call it canvas, which kind of evokes a sailboat, which is like oceanic. Papyrus, if you will. Where could one get it? You can get it at mythical.com. Okay. That's where you get all the things you need.

Summer's here, and you can now all the things you need. Summer's here and you can now get almost anything you need for your sunny days delivered with Uber Eats. What do we mean by almost? Well, you can't get a well-groomed lawn delivered,

but you can get a chicken parmesan delivered. A cabana? That's a no. But a banana? That's a yes. A nice tan? Sorry, nope.

But a box fan? Happily, yes. A day of sunshine? No. A box of fine wines? Yes. Uber Eats can definitely get you that. Get almost, almost Hey, Rhett and Link, voicemail for us, please. All right. Use your left hand to activate it. Hey, Rhett and Link. It's Tiffany from North Carolina. This might be a weird question,

but now I'm interested in the pillow conversation that Link was having with Quavo. What is his preferred pillow? Thanks. Oh, God. Well, you know what? I have to talk about it again now, Rhett. You didn't talk about this in your favorite purchases of the year, one year? I probably did.

Okay. I mean, I look for any opportunity with a rapper or a friend or on a podcast. Sometimes I just talk to myself out loud about my pillow. But I guess you missed that ear biscuit, which totally fine. I'm more than happy to tell you about it again. I have a cylindrical pillow. It's like a pipe filled with husks. What kind of husks?

I can't quite remember what they're called right now, but they're hard. It's probably buckwheat. Buckwheat. That's it. And you fill this thing up with them, and then it's hard. I had all these problems with my shoulder. I was sleeping on my side, and then I started having neck problems, and my physical therapist sold me this pillow from Saatchi.

Not a sponsor. You can get different types, but you can refill this one with more buckwheat. And... Are you constantly eating the buckwheat? No. It just, over time, they get scrunched down and it kind of erodes inside.

It gets broken down into... Have you refilled it yet? Oh, yeah. I refilled it. Yeah. Do you empty old and put in new? Or do you just put more? I emptied it completely and then washed it. Yeah. Do you empty old and put in new? Or do you just put more? Yes, I emptied it completely and then washed it.

And then I filled it up again. It forces me to sleep on my back. And because if you sleep on your side, you're sleeping on your ear on this thing, and that's painful. So then I remember, oh, I've decided I'm gonna sleep on my back

because that helped create proper alignment for my neck, which was getting out of whack. And sleeping on my side for years, like sleeping on my arm up like this, messed up my shoulder. My rotator cuff was like really painful. And it's not, it doesn't hurt anymore because I don't sleep on my side,

but it still hurts at certain points. Did you put your arm on top of the pillow? Or would you put the pillow in between the arm and the head? Sometimes the pillow would be in between my head and my arm, but my arm would be up. My hand would be behind my head, like on the center of my back, and my ear would be kind of on my wrist.

And what I was doing every night for over a year was I was grinding the bone into the socket and wearing it away, and I was told that it would never, it would never regenerate. But I've found, I went to physical therapy, I found some relief. And now to maintain that, I sleep on my back.

So many positives sleeping on your back. This pillow makes that happen. And it just has all these other health benefits, right? With all types of alignment. You want to be able to sleep on your back again. And also apparently your face. It's good for your face apparently. To not smush it every night?

I think just because gravity is like... Pulling everything back. It's like a facelift. It's your face versus like your skin slowly falling off of your face to the side. So I... It took me a few weeks to get used to my pillow. And I was waking up a lot. But I literally trained myself to just sleep on my back.

And now the pillow is small. So I take it with me whenever i go on any trip even if it's just one night i'll shove it in my computer bag it'll like fit in there it's like a carry-on and i just keep it with me it's my it's my new best friend oh thanks i just can't stop talking about him uh to rappers and this is exactly what i told cuevo i was like how do you sleep? He was just like, I was like, do you have a special pillow? I mean, it's probably got diamonds encrusted on it, like your hat right now.

That's probably not comfortable. And he laughed and said, nah, man, I don't have a pillow. I sleep on my arm. And I was like, and then I just let him have it. Yeah, he really walked right into it. I let him have it. I was like, when you get to be my age, you're going to have shoulder problems.

You're going to be up there on stage going, yo, yo, hey, hey. That's what they do. And then it's going to be hurting. There are... You know, you want to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and you want to be able to raise the roof.

You know what I'm saying? And this pillow is going to do it for you. I don't remember you saying all that, but you said a form of that. He was smiling a lot. Yeah, he was tripping out a little bit. And I was caring for him in the only way that I knew how. So thanks for asking about my pillow.

I highly recommend it. I mean, sleeping on your back. There's just so many things that other people, when people get injuries and then they're like, yeah, now I have to sleep on my back, but I can't do it. If you've, you do yourself a lot of favor by training yourself, like pick a month. Yeah, it's harder than you're- And just train yourself to sleep on your back. I've, you know, I bought a contraption that forced me to sleep on my back and I couldn't do it.

But you didn't commit to it enough and you maybe you just needed my pillow well here here's another aspect well not only

did I I had not only did I try the thing that puts these metal these balls these plastic balls

on each side of you and also your stomach I would never sleep on my stomach but not only did I have that, but I had a pillow that had like a crevasse in it, you know,

that like settled your head in there. A number of things, a number of complicating factors. So it's not either you sleep on your side with your hair, with your arm up or you sleep on your back. Right. I don't do that. Most people who sleep on their side just sleep, I sleep in like the fetal position,

directly on the pillow, right? And I'm not really experiencing any problems right now. I try to sleep on my back. I would like to sleep on my back, but I need a long runway in which quality of sleep isn't really needed because I don't have neck problems or serious back problems right now. But the other thing is, is I find myself in scenarios where I'm too big to sleep on my back. scenarios where I'm too big to sleep on my back. So if we have the luxury of, you know,

there's sometimes that we fly when we're on the right kind of plane and it's going to the right kind of place and we can get those full lay down seats, right? And they're the best. I can't lay down on my back in those because- You're too long. I'm too long. And so I have to lay on my side. And you can imagine laying on your side on one of those. It's not even. It's not great. That's why I don't really fall asleep that much. You're 6'7".

I'll give you a pass. And also like on the tour bus, if I sleep on my back, my head and my feet are touching both walls. Yeah, you got it. So I don't think, like, I think if I made a commitment to sleeping on my back and all of a sudden I needed to be on my back, I would be more inconvenienced in uncomfortable sleeping situations. You need to sleep on your back with your knees pulled up to your chest

like you're doing a cannonball into a pool. That feels like it would be counterproductive to sleep. Well, that's what you need to do. I mean, my dad has slept a whole life on his stomach with no pillow. Where are his arms? I just, on the side or up, I don't know. Yeah, it's tough.

Like I don't know, I'm not 100% sure he's still doing that, but as a kid, I actually haven't seen my father sleep in many years. You know? When was the last time you saw your dad sleep? I don't make a habit of watching my dad sleep. Right. I mean, he falls asleep in recliners

and in upright positions a lot. I've probably seen my dad sleep in that. Or vacationing, but. But like in his bed. Well. It's but... But, like, in his bed. Well... It's on his stomach. Like, that's so bad for you. Like, how does he... How has he made it?

Mm-mm. Yeah, don't do that. I've gotten so used to my pillow that now I have actually started sleeping on my side with it again because the pain of smooshing my ear... Is worth it? ...is still something I can sleep through because the pain of sleeping on this pillow is something I'm used to. Well, the thing I think I need to do...

It's like sleeping on a log. Yeah, I've seen it. It is very log-like. But whenever I travel, the reason why I travel with it is also because if you get the wrong pillow at like a random hotel, that could really screw up, give you a crink in that neck, man. Oh, I agree with that. So having the consistency of a pillow

that you can take everywhere with you is also a nice thing, but you got that hump. They make a side pillow that's a cube. Lando has that, he loves it. So if I had the cube and you had the log, it's like two men who travel with shapes. Yeah, but the cube is big. Lando travels with his cube.

Oh, it is? How big is it? I mean, it's as big as a full-size pillow, but it's... I mean, it looks like it's one piece of constructing a... No, I saw one on the internet that was literally a cube. It was equal-sided. It wasn't... Yeah, that's... Okay. And it looks like head size. And it's mushy.

Yeah, and it just felt like I could have this cube. Yeah, you could. And put it in bags. Yeah, you could probably vacuum seal that thing. All right, let's move on to another voicemail. Hi, Rhett and Link. My name's Eliza, and I have a very, very important hypothetical for you. Picture this. The 342nd annual Hunger Games are happening this year, and the rules state that all tributes will be members of the mythical cast and crew.

How does it go down? What district is everyone assigned to? Who wins? Who teams up? Who hides in a tree? Who accidentally eats a poisonous potato? Let me know. Bye. Was there a poisonous potato in Hunger Games? I don't remember. Maybe. Poisonous potato. I've seen two of the Hunger Games.

The first one and the most recent one. The prequel, you mean. Yeah, we're not well-verseded in the hunger games but i do know the principle of like they shove everybody into the arena and then you're supposed to kill each other there is a poisonous potato in hunger games okay well it's going to be hard to speak speak for the crew there may be some conjecture, but let's just, let's focus more on ourselves. We might broaden it a little bit, but like,

you know the scenario. They release you and you gotta, kill or be killed. Last person standing wins. You can hide and, or you can just start,

just start wailing on people. I think I would have done pretty well in my 20s. I think I would have done pretty well in my 20s. I think I would have done okay in my 30s. But now, I have, like, I mean, first of all- You're already highlighting the reason why it's not- You're the one that needs a pillow. You don't get to take your fricking log pillow

into the Hunger Games. So you're gonna- I can use any log as a pillow. Your shoulder's gonna be hurting. I'm gonna be, I'm gonna find a hole with a log and I'm gonna go to sleep until everybody else dies. Like I'm serious, the main problem would be that if I had to sleep in a weird situation,

I would wake up hurting and then I would be just totally there for the taking. Like anyone could incapacitate me because I would be like, I got a bad neck today. This is the reason why I will never go on Survivor. I mean, you know, we watch Survivor religiously as a family. And I've never, I've watched it. So I know I would never endeavor to be on this thing. You're sleeping out in the wild.

You're given nothing. You have to build a shelter. They're laying on bamboo and sometimes they talk, they talk about how they're sleep deprived. And I, I slept. I went to bed at 9.06 last night.

Wow. What happened? I, that's, that's my routine. I thought the music comes on at 9.30. It comes on at nine o'clock now. Oh.

And I, I got up at six, I got on at 9.30. It comes on at 9 o'clock now. Oh. And I got up at 6. I got up at 6.08. So I slept for nine hours. That's a lot of sleep. That's a good, that's adequate. That's more than adequate. My ring gave me a score of 90, 90, 9-0. Oh, I would expect higher if you have nine hours.

That would put me in the 95s, man. The dogs still wake me up in the night. Oh, okay. And there's still like some restlessness. But so in the Hunger Games, I guess I've just taught myself out of sleeping. The sleep would be the main problem. I just don't know what it would be like.

I mean, to get down to it, to kill somebody. I just don't know what it would be like, I mean, to get down to it, to kill somebody. I just don't. I think that would be the easiest thing for me. I think. Somebody who was attacking me, I'm not saying, I'm not gonna pick somebody off, but somebody who was trying to kill me, I wouldn't have a hesitation in killing them

from a moral standpoint. My hesitation would be my physical limitations. I would be like, man, if I really go for this, I know I'm gonna get hurt. Sometimes- If I try to stab you. Like I was on a ladder in the past three or four months, and I thought I was on the last step, but I was on the second step.

Oh, okay, yeah. In just that calculation of like eight inches, all of a sudden I hit the ground kind of funny and it was just like, oh! Like, in between my shoulder blades, I don't know what's going on back there. Just don't be worried. I'm in generally good health and I'm not in pain, but it doesn't take much for there to be like, the leverage, things get out of whack. Like, somebody tries to kill me

and I try to get out of the way? Yeah. I'm hurt. It's a weird feeling when you think you're about to hit a step and you don't. Right. It's also a weird feeling when you don't think you're gonna hit a step and you do. Well, I have steps that go down to the garage because our house is weird like that and i go down there every morning to work out

and i have a coffee in one hand and my phone in the other hand okay and i don't turn the lights on to go down the stairs. Because? Because I got stuff in my hands. You don't have free hands. And also, like, I'm like, I can- You're not wearing socks, are you? I can, no.

I put my shoes on before I go down. And I'm usually able to know that I'm at the last step, but that, thinking there's one more step and just hitting more floor, nothing makes you feel like an idiot. I know. Nothing makes you feel like an idiot more than thinking there's another step. And there's one more step and just hitting more floor, nothing makes you feel like an idiot. I know. Nothing makes you feel like an idiot more than thinking there's another step.

And there's not. And then you're just, oh, it's floor. But that's better than free-falling through a step. Less dangerous. That you didn't know was there. Yeah, dark steps, weird beds. These are the problems that we would have. Yeah, and how would you, I mean, mean you gotta find a weapon and then kill somebody

In the Hunger Games I think I don't think I would get hung up on The having killed somebody if I did it I just don't know If I would And I you know If I would be able to do it

But not emotionally, physically. I don't know. If you're going to kill somebody, how do you do it? Can I, what's the best way to kill somebody

while looking away? I think that's what I want to know. I don't want to see myself do it. Donkey kick. Donkey kick. There it is. A donkey kick

was some sort, something on your foot, like a spike. Spiked foot donkey kick. Spiked foot donkey kick. Spiked foot donkey kick, which makes it a hell of a difficulty going downstairs. And they're probably sleeping because you need to make sure you hit them. Oh. You got to do a donkey kick.

Donkey curb stomp? Curb stomp. Oh, God. Yeah, that's what you got to do. It's just to a sleeping person. That is morbid, dude. I'm just saying. Now, I would feel bad about- Yeah, I think you're going to kill sleeping person. That is morbid, dude. I'm just saying. I would feel bad about...

I think you're going to kill some people. I feel bad about killing somebody who is sleeping. Unless they had tried to kill me already. With a potato? At that point, I'd be like, all bets go off. That's what I'm going to do. I'm going to poison people with a potato.

That's me. You're going to make them look appetizing. Leave them out. Yeah. Would you guys go straight for the cornucopia in the beginning or read you high what's in there weapons that's like where the weapons and supplies are typically um i'm not that fast i like to find cubby holes but i'm but i'm also big you're on the defensive from the beginning if you don't go in the cornucopia. You're more of an offensive guy.

I think you're going to... I just don't have the speed. Oh, I used to, but I'm not fast anymore. There's an age limit, right? I mean, it's only... It's like it's only... Watchable teens and 20-somethings. Yeah, it's like 13 to like 20 or something like that. When was the last time you sprinted?

Like literally ran as fast as you can. I was walking the dogs and I let Jasper off leash to chase a squirrel in a contained area. And Jade really wanted to join in, so I just dropped her leash. And then I realized that there was a hole in the fence at the far end of this contained area. So then I started running really fast

to catch up with Jade. Sprinting them? I wouldn't have called it sprinting, but it's as close as I've gotten in a long time. I mean, I was just on the balls of my feet. Well, yeah. So I thought about this because every once in a while, well, I've been trying to do this thing where I'll do a little bit of like

high intensity interval training, right? Through whether or not it's like on a rower or, you know, if I'm at a place that has like an exercise bike or whatever. So, you know, like one minute on, two minutes off kind of thing. Really just makes you, it is the worst. Like trying to go as hard as you can for a minute as like an exercise bike or whatever. So, you know, like one minute on, two minutes off kind of thing. You really just make shit. It is the worst, like trying to go as hard as you can

for a minute, even in just a minute is a lot, right? But some people will do this sprinting. And so I've done it a couple of mornings where I go out into my neighborhood, which has got a lot of hills, and I'll try to be like, I'm gonna sprint for a minute. And at some point it kind of hit me, I was like, I'm not really, I'm sprinting.

Like the thing, I'm not sprinting, and the thing that's keeping me from like running as fast as I can is all this concern about my body that my brain is just being like, no, no, no, don't lift the knees too fast. Don't lift the knees too high. Well, yeah. Like, I don't even know if I can. And then I was thinking about it. And then there was this, you know, another TikTok that said like, you know, the last time you sprint, you probably didn't realize it was the last time

you'll ever sprint. And then it was like some statistic that like, I'm making this up, but it was something this shocking, like 95% of people over 35 will never sprint again. It was something like that. I was like, oh shit. Does that made you sad? And when you talk about situations like being... Chasing your dog.

In a Hunger Games situation. Oh, yeah, or the Hunger Games. Like, or if I was being chased by somebody who was trying to kill me. Yeah. Yeah. I know at that point I probably have another gear that I'm willing to go into that I'm not willing to go into

like when I'm out in my neighborhood trying to work out. Yeah, and you definitely feel watched. So I need to hire somebody to try to chase me down to kill me and see if I'll sprint. Can we move on because now I'm sad and we sound so old. Well, let's, but hold on, but that TikTok ended- We don't even know what The Hunger Games is really. The TikTok ended with like a, an older guy, basically, sprinting.

Oh. And being like, you can start sprinting again. What if... Make America sprint again? No, uh-uh. This episode is brought to you by LEGO Fortnite. LEGO Fortnite is the ultimate survival crafting game found within Fortnite. It's not just Fortnite Battle Royale with minifigures.

talk about prom like your guys's prom stories have people call in prom stories because currently I am getting ready for prom. So love you guys. Say it back. Bye-bye. Love you too. Love you, say it back. Is that a thing? Well, I don't know. I did though.

Love you too. Prom. It's still a thing. Good old prom. Well, you know, I just DJedj'd a prom you know a few months back lily's 21st birthday was prom themed because you know she her she didn't have her prom her senior prom because of the it was during the pandemic yep so like everybody got dressed up and we did the they did the prom thing um everybody had more fun than they would have had if they'd have had their prom

in 2020 i'll tell you that because prom is wasted on the young strong words i mean don't you want to get dressed up and now you can you can you can drink and you can inebriate and you can get down with your monogamous sexual partner. You don't have to worry about anybody finding out or like sneaking around or doing something stupid. I will say 100% middle-aged prom would be way better than teenage prom. Oh yeah. Because you just-

No sprinting. You figured yourself out and you know who your friends really are. You know what you like and how to have a good time. And you can appreciate the fact that it's happening. You know, when Lily's junior year, I think it was Lily, it could have been Lincoln. I think it was Lily.

Her prom was underneath the space shuttle. You know, the California Science Center, they've erected the space shuttle now. It's vertical. But before it was on the wheels. It was horizontal. And they were partying underneath it. And they didn't even understand how, like, we had our high school prom in our freaking cafeteria in the middle of a cornfield, essentially, is where it was. Not even in the gym.

I mean, why was it in the cafeteria, not the gym? So, junior year, we had some friends who were seniors who didn't have dates. And so they were going stag. And so they talked us into going stag with them. We should have never let them talk us into that. But they were upperclassmen, and we thought, well, it'd be cool to go. We're going to have steaks.

We're going to make steaks at John's house. At least there was, like, we're gonna have steaks. We're gonna make steaks at John's house. At least there was like a lot of intent. You know, it's like, hey, I don't have a date. You don't have a date. We're friends. Let's plan something ceremonial and let's have something to look forward to.

And that's what we did. And we did have fun. Well, we talked ourselves into that we were having fun for sure. I wanted to be with a woman. I'll just be honest with you. I didn't wanna be with a bunch of dudes eating steak. I do like eating steak though. I don't remember much else

about our junior year prom than that. I don't think we did photos. We definitely didn't do like goofy stag photos. I think we just bowed out. I don't think they let you in. I don't think they let you do a photo if you didn't do like goofy stag photos. I think we just bowed out. I don't think they let you in. I don't think they let you do a photo if you didn't have a date. Yeah, like stand there alone or in a group photo.

Guys, oh, we can't fit that many. We do not have any evidence of that happening. So I think it was probably not allowed in Harney County. Stag is stagnant. That's what it's short for. And then of course, the next year, our senior year, which is, the best thing that came out of our senior prom was the photo of me and you shaking hands in your ex-girlfriend's-

Front yard. Front yard. Yeah, that is the iconic photo where we're shaking hands with one foot in the air. Like that's the best thing that came out of that. Because I don't know what you did. All I know is we were gonna go, we went to the prom and then- You had tails.

I had tails, which, you know, it's so interesting how they are like, you're tall, you need tails. It's like, no, you don't. I'm not a member of the royal family. Give me a cane and a top hat. I don't need tails. It was fun to like pick out a tux.

I remember that. But we were gonna go to your girlfriend's house after. And of course I was with your girlfriend's friend who was actually a girl that I, you know, I'd had a crush on for years pretty much, right? And well, no, not years, maybe a couple of years, but like a friend of mine had dated her, another friend of ours that dated her

that she still liked way more than she liked me. The girl that you had dated before like that, or was it after that? Like my girlfriend introduced you to your girlfriend after that. Oh yeah, that was, no, that was in, I was in college at that point. Oh yeah, you were in college.

Okay. I was in senior year. My senior year, I started dating my girlfriend, and then, who I guess we're deciding to remain nameless, is for the best. Sure. Yeah, she was a sophomore and I was a senior.

And at the time, that was very normal, not recommended. People- Oh, really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like at this point, and for good reason, anything where, if you date anyone that is separated from your, by more than a year, it is like pretty scandalous these days. When we were coming up, for reasons that,

just a different time and a place, like dudes who were seniors dated girls who were freshmen like on the regular. It was almost the regular. And we didn't do that. We didn't do that, didn't try to do that, but I'm just like, that was the world that we were living in. Hold on, I did do that.

No, she wasn't three years younger than you. She was two years younger than you. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, sophomore. But still, what I'm saying is that even that would be a little bit like, especially out here, I'm just saying, when I remember talking to Locke and Shepherd about this, they were like,

dad, it's like a year, yeah, it could be a year difference, but two, people are like, what, what's wrong with you? Yeah, there were lots of seniors dating freshmen. Yeah. But- Because they had the power to do so, and us guys, there was nothing we could do about it. And your girlfriend's friend,

who I had already liked before they became friends, I asked her to go and she said yes. But, and of course I wanted there to be, I wanted there to be sparks. And it was very clear right from the beginning of the evening that it was not, that wasn't what was gonna happen. And so it wasn't like I tried to make anything happen.

It was sparkless. But then we did the thing that it was not, that wasn't what was gonna happen. And so it wasn't like I tried to make anything happen. It was sparkless. But then we did the thing that was also very common, and I guess maybe this still happens, where you go to the prom and then you all go to someone's house and you like all sleep on the floor next to the people that you went to the prom with. A slumber party basically.

And like, even though you're in this like conservative Christian environment, like. It was my one and only co-ed slumber party, except for being locked into the church. If you're not familiar, churches would have a thing called a lock-in, where it would be like an all night thing. But then there was a room where you could just go and go to sleep on the floor and like a sleeping bag. Yeah. And you could go to sleep right next to your girlfriend and you could-

In the church. Reach into her sleeping bag and do things. I mean, I knew God was watching, but I really, really wanted to. I thought you were looking for treats in the bottom of a Christmas stocking. I found some treats. But that night I found no treats

and I did not go hunting for treats because it was very clear that that wasn't what she wanted. So I just was like, I'm sleeping on the- Well, I was with my girlfriend and I didn't even know treats existed practically. I'm sleeping on the floor of your girlfriend's living room next to a girl that I'm very attracted to who, you know- Is sparkless.

I think maybe if I didn't have tails, she would have been attracted to me. Yeah, that was it. But the tails really threw her off. Too much material for her. So I don't have

fond memories of that. There were a couple... There were at least two other couples there that night. Yeah, and I don't remember. I don't remember who they are. Who that would have been.

Would it have been more of our friends or more of their friends? Because I don't know. I think it been more of our friends or more of their friends? Cause I don't know. I think it was more her friends because it was like another friend of hers. Cause they're not in the pictures that I've seen. They're not in the pictures.

Do you remember anything about the prom itself? I mean, I have photos of that, but. I remember our friend Matt showing up dressed as a woman. Yeah, and that was- Talk about scandalous. That was newsworthy. And like, he, you know- He had never done that before.

He had never, he decided that he was gonna dress as a woman to the prom, but he wasn't gonna do it in a way that was like, I'm gonna dress as a woman. Isn't like they do it on senior day when like, I'm gonna dress as a woman, isn't like they do on senior day when the basketball players put the cheerleading uniforms on and they just look like a dude walking around in a dress. No, he was like, I'm gonna dress as a woman and I'm going to be hot as a woman.

He did it. And no one's gonna know that it's me. He did it to ruffle feathers. Oh yeah. It wasn't a personal choice or like an expression of identity. He did it because he knew that people would flip their lids over. Right.

The administration would be like, I don't think, you can't do this. I'll put it to you this way, he was really into Nirvana, okay? I mean, I do believe that Kurt Cobain wore a dress a few times. He wore a dress, yeah. So it was kind of that like subversion of expectations. But he fixed his hair though.

He had long hair and he fixed it in a way that he never wore his hair. Oh, yeah. And he put on, he had someone, his sisters maybe. And I could see like his older sister being like, yeah, I'm going to make you look good. And his makeup was really good. Good for him. Yeah, and at the time, it was funny,

cause you know- Made a lot of people wrestle with a lot of things. At the time, I don't remember thinking that, I don't remember being like, oh, he shouldn't have done that. I just remember thinking like, man, he's like, what, he went all out. And that is like really unexpected of him. And I would probably, even though he was a friend that we would, he was an acquaintance of ours, if not like a childhood friend, we probably didn't talk of him. And we probably, even though he was a friend that we would,

he was an acquaintance of ours, if not like a childhood friend, we probably didn't talk to him. Not that night. I mean, we're not going to talk to him when he's in woman form, is what we felt like. We shouldn't. I don't remember, but probably, yes. Yeah.

I mean. That was the highlight of the prom for me was. I do remember that. The theme was Keeper of the Stars, I believe. See, this is information that leaves me. And I think remember that. The theme was Keeper of the Stars, I believe. See, this is information that leaves me. And I think that that isn't God the Keeper of the Stars? Was this a religious event? Not, no.

No, but- It was public school. Kind of all of them are a little bit back then. That's really all that I remember. I came back, I dated, like my freshman year in college, I was still dating my high school girlfriend who was a junior. And I came back for, I believe I came back for her prom.

You probably did. It was also very common. Because I dated her my entire freshman year of college. Yeah. My entire freshman year of college. Yeah. My entire freshman year, dude. And you were encouraging it because she hooked you up with her best friend. Well, yeah.

You should have been like, hey, move on. You're in college now. We didn't think like that though. Do you remember how we thought? That I gotta go home and see my girlfriend every weekend. No, no, even me as someone who was single and has always been highly motivated to be with a woman. Even I, but as you know, I'm highly motivated, not highly capable, right? And also also we limited our options

to the small circle of like, these girls had to be involved in crew or intervarsity or whatever. They had to be in some like campus ministry, right? You couldn't be, you couldn't just be like dating some girl that was just a girl that wasn't a Christian and wasn't in a- You're talking about college, freshman year.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So there, I didn't have So there wasn't anyone in that group that I actually was like, I'm attracted to this person and I wanna, and so- Yeah, you had to look for somebody in Atlanta. Yeah. Well, and it was your girlfriend's fault because she was like,

oh, I know who would like you and you would like my friend. And she's, you know what? She's coming to her dad's house in Jacksonville or something like that. And we're going to go down there and see her. And we got down there and I was immediately attracted to her. And apparently she was immediately attracted to me. I didn't wear my tails.

I just wore like shorts. And we watched Twister. I was there? You and your girlfriend were sitting next to me and her on the couch and we were watching Twister. Now the whole time I was thinking, I wanna kiss her, I wanna kiss her, I want to kiss her, I want to kiss her. And we're sitting there watching Twister, and I slowly did things like held her hand.

I mean, I met this girl that day, and I'm sitting there watching a movie holding her hand. But the reason it moved so quickly is because... Because the storm's coming in. That was your girlfriend's idea to be like, you guys will like each other. And so when we immediately did, it was like, okay, well, this is what's going to happen. And I just remember, Twister's great. But I, you know, Helen Hunt is amazing. But I had a woman next to me.

And I just remember thinking like, what am I, I got to look. It's like, it's hard to find a gap in Twister. Yeah. It's so action-packed. And so as soon as the credits hit, I lean in. You're waiting the whole movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, no, we don't need to know who made this movie.

We know how it ends. And I just kissed her throughout the credits. And then we dated for a year and a half. Wow. Yeah. Long distance. And now Twisters. Yep.

What you gonna do about Twisters? Is it in the theaters? Yeah. Right now? Yeah. It says it's not releasing till July There you go Oh July. I'm gonna okay. I'm excited. Yeah, I have a little I'm not I mean I'm not gonna like call her up and I mean you and Jesse twisters

Okay, yeah, I'm talking about you and your wife me and my current wife. Yes. Yeah, we'll go together Alright, thanks for the question. Good luck with that prom, or I hope it went well if it's already happened. Let's hit one more and shut her down. Yes, last one. Hi, this is Sam Thorne calling from Toronto, and I'm listening to your podcast right now, and you're talking about the hammerhead sharks and why they have a flat face. I just want to let you guys know that it's actually they develop longer and flatter faces

to actually have more sensors on their nose to tend to hunt their prey. So, you know, they're actually probably the most dominant of the shark species. Okay. Thanks, guys. Have a good day. Oh.

Because we were thinking maybe it was because of the pole. Yeah, looking on either side of the pole. Our theory was wrong, according to him. It's they see with their nose sensors. Thank you for that. And it kept getting reinforced generation over generation, and the eyes were just like, okay, okay. The eyes are along for the ride.

Okay, okay. If you know who's going to do this, I'm getting pushed apart. Oh, and it's interesting because- God makes them dominant. We talked about this and I misquoted something. I mean, I do that all the time, but if I actually remember myself doing it, I'll point out. I said something about the nostrils of the whale

being on the sides. And so I actually went back and listened because I'm really interested in whale evolution. Like it's just, it is really fascinating thing because it's like so many of the ways that you can look into evolution in the way that like there's a molecular observation that then is backed up by a fossil discovery or vice versa.

It's actually a lot simpler than that. They're not, they had nostrils on the snout, right? And they migrated directly up onto the top of the head. So there was never like, I think I said something like that right here. So it makes a lot more sense that like, whatever the ancestors to whales were, when they became aquatic slowly over generations,

you can see in the fossil record, you can see the migration of the nose onto the top of the head. And that's why when you look into the blowhole, it looks like a nose without a nose. It's just like two things. It's two things. With a membrane. Yeah. Like a double barrel shotgun.

Still pretty fascinating. Okay. Well, there you have it. Do you have a wreck? No pressure. Yeah, I do. This is fascinating. Okay. Well, there you have it. Do you have a rec? No pressure. Yeah, I do. This is a weird one. Diet caffeine free Dr. Pepper.

Diet caffeine free Dr. Pepper. I still drink diet drinks. I try not to do it too often. There's some chemicals in there, right? But I don't like the caffeine, you know? And I literally said at some point, I was like, I wish there was,

I wish there was diet caffeine free Dr. Pepper because I love diet Dr. Pepper. And somebody commented and it was like, yeah, there is. Okay. But you can't go to the store and get it. You can only order it. Really? If you just go to the grocery store and that's where you think all drinks live, you can't find it.

But it does exist. So I've been ordering Diet Caffeine-Free Dr. Pepper. How many are you ordering at once? I ordered 48. You ordered 48? I ordered... This is... I ordered four 12-packs because it was like I might as well do it.

Yeah, but how many are you now drinking in a day? Oh, two a week. Okay. Two a week? Yeah. So it's a treat? It's a week. Okay. Two a week. Yeah. So you did, it's a treat? It's a treat. All right, keep it. Because I feel, every time I reach for a diet drink, I'm like,

ah, what's it, what is it? What's it doing to me? And then I start sipping on it, I'm like, oh, that's nice. Yeah. So if you're into Dr. Pepper, try Diet Outer Pepper.
