This week at the round table of dim lighting, boy have we got you. We're gonna help you out. You've got problems and luckily enough, we have a number and you've called it. One, eight, eight, eight. Ear Pod One. The number one.

And we are going to help you out. And if you didn't leave a voicemail, I challenge you to do so. I challenge you to challenge us. If there's something that we've said, that you want to retort or add color to or in any way respond, hey, we're open to that, you know what?

We don't pay for the number based on the number of voicemails we receive. Right, because. We can receive unlimited voicemails. We are including some follow-ups to previous answers to questions today. Not just new questions. I like that. We got new questions, we got follow-ups, the conversation continues.

I'm encouraged by the fact that we have people listening and then calling. Of course we highlight voicemails at the end of the episode if you're listening to closing credits type stuff. But I like the idea of making this show a little bit more interactive, that there's some threads that continue. Because we talk a lot of shit. And sometimes... And there's only so much we can say about ourselves, y'all. Listen, we've said it, we've said it all.

And don't worry, we're making us talk about ourselves. We're gonna talk about ourselves. We'll do it enough, but we don't necessarily like doing it. Okay, let's talk about you. Stuck in the fire of the voicemail is what we're trying to do here. Seconds, baby. It's happening.

We already did that. It's happening. We did did that. It's happening. We did get feedback from. My wife. Jessie about the sex timber. My wife listened to the sex timber episode. She was like, well, I listened to your sex timber episode and I was like, I immediately began to do the math

or whatever it is as you go back through and try to remember what you said. And I was like, I think we talked a lot about strip clubs. Because she is apart from you. So I would take that as a good sign. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Let's clarify, she's out of town. You said it like we were separated, man.

Well you are separated. Word choice is important. Rhett and Jessie are currently separated. No, in fact, she is back on California soil as we speak. Her flight just landed and I looked forward to seeing her tonight. What I heard was that they were separated on different coasts, living.

And when she was supposed to come home, she calls Rhett up and says, I'm staying another week. So that's not a good sign. But if then she says, oh but, Just because you wouldn't be able to be alone for two weeks doesn't mean that I can't be, okay? So that's not a good sign, but if then she says, oh but I listen. Just because you wouldn't be able to be alone for two weeks doesn't mean that I can't be, okay?

Just because after two weeks you would be curled up in the corner of your home in the fetal position, starving, not dehydrated, because you can get water for yourself, but you can't make food for yourself, so you'd be starving. I don't know what I would do. You'd be in a pair of dirty underwear

for the fifth day in a row. Yeah, that's why. Just because that's how you live doesn't mean that's not how I live. Right, yeah, if y'all wanna be separated, that's fine. Christy and I will never be separated. But I think it is good news when she says, yes, we've been separated, but I've been listening

to your podcast, especially the one about sex. Like, hey. Can I have a tissue? That might mean it'll dry up. It's a wooden table. Yeah, but I don't want it to... It doesn't. Trust me. It's fine. I don't want it to take away Michael Vsauce Stevens' signature. Oh, gosh. Okay.

Or Blair. Remember that Juicy Star? Yeah. Wow. We used to interview people on this show. What did she say about it? She said- I was listening to your podcast and I gotta say, I was laughing so hard. And she was like, I was laughing so hard

while I was driving, but I, she didn't say I had to pull over, but it sounded like she was about to say I, she didn't say I had to pull over, but it sounded like she was about to say. She was about to say she had to pull over? In my mind, she was about to say that she was about to pull over. That's how hard we made her laugh. That's nice that you're apart and that she's listening to you.

And she's listening to my voice. Just laughing. It does, it makes you feel good. I came in from walking the dogs, and Christy was sitting on the couch drinking her coffee. The dogs always jump right in her lap and tell her about how amazing the walk was. And this time, instead of talking to the dogs, she just, she was laughing. And I was like, what are you laughing at?

And she was watching my podcast with my dad. I'm sorry, it wasn't this one. But it did make me feel good that like she was, I mean, she found my dad funny. So it's not quite as good as your wife finding you funny, but it's close. She also found you funny. I think she did a little bit.

No, my wife found you funny as well. She said y'all were both very, very funny. She did then say, it sounds like you kinda wanna go to a strip club. A little bit maybe, yeah. And I was like, I didn't say, you read something between the lines. And I was like, not unless you want to.

Not unless you want to. You read something between the strings. The G strings. Yeah, so my wife is back. We're no longer separated. Good. And we were only separated, you know, physically. For two weeks.

Not relationally. For two weeks. Yes. Okay. Yeah, yeah, so don't call me this evening. Do not call me this evening. Do not call me this evening. Do not text me. If there is an emergency, ask another friend.

Okay, all right. Great. What about logging into your webcams? Don't do that? You wouldn't know how to do that. Oh, I know how to do that. I don't have one in my bedroom, by the way. I'm not like you. I don't have security cameras inside my house. You're lost. I did it. I'll't have security cameras inside my house. You're lost.

I did it. I'll give you the login if you want. The funny thing is, is when you set that up, I was like, oh, this would be a way to keep up with the house when I'm not there, but then very quickly, both of my kids were like, they had like friends over and they immediately just unplugged them and I was like, oh yeah,

that was probably not a great idea. Yeah, somehow it keeps going at my house. I don't know. I look at it occasionally. Well, let's try to top that episode today. Let's start with a voicemail that is a follow-up to a previous conversation that we had. Hey guys, my name's Kyle.

I'm calling about Link's story about helping the car crash victims who were having a seizure and your comments about his smile during his intervention. And I just want to say that when I was in the Air Force, they gave us a lot of training on this kind of stuff and helping people during combat. One of the things that they told us was to always kind of reassure people that it's gonna be fine, it's gonna be okay. It helps them stay calm,

helps them from getting their heart rate even higher than it might be. Yeah, yeah. Helps them from maybe slipping into shock. Oh, there he goes. You okay? Hold on. You all right? I think, oh my. It's okay? Hold on. You alright? I think...

It's gonna be okay. Is that how... Hey, it's gonna be okay. Just call back. Hold on. What happened? Hold on. Our caller is having an emergency. I think the speaker died. What? The speaker died?

Do you want to smile at them? Are you sure? To make sure that he's okay? That wasn't the... He didn't hang up. No, it's the... Hold on. The speaker died. The last three seconds. Oh. You absolutely did the right thing,'t hang up. No, it's the, hold on. The speaker died. The last three seconds.

Oh. You absolutely did the right thing, man. Oh, oh, that was it? You totally did the right thing, man? You totally did the right thing, man. But I thought he was gonna say that in the Air Force, they trained you to smile. And, cause I still don't know if my smile.

Yeah, I don't think the problem was your intention. I think the problem was your execution. Because you smiled at me the way that you said that you smiled at them. It made me uncomfortable. It made, when you smile at somebody like that, it makes it seem like you want them to die and you're a little bit happy about it.

I like the, and that's so opposite of me. I mean, I feel like I have a newfound confidence to enter into emergency situations now. Okay, well you should go to places where those kinds of things happen. Like war torn areas? No. Like as a journalist?

No, no. A vlogger? I think you can find all you need in Los Angeles. What is Hollywood, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I think if you go down to Hollywood Boulevard and just stay there for a day, there will be seven to nine emergency situations that you could insert yourself into.

And just smile at? Yeah. All right, all right, I'm there. I'm there for it. What are you doing this weekend? Charge for it. Just looking for accidents to smile at, just to reassure people that it's gonna be okay.

The smiler. Right. He doesn't help, he just smiles. Well you gotta have a Trader Joe's bag with you too though. Yep. You're willing to stop the bleeding. To stop bleeding with Trader Joe's bags and you'll smile right through it.

Yep, yep. All right, give me another one because that feels good. You should be slightly encouraged by that. I got some reassurance. That's what I like to hear. Hi, Riddle Link. So me and my wife are getting married soon, so I just wanna know, how can I make her sign a prenup without her knowing she's signing a prenup? Thanks, bye. Well, congratulations, first of all.

Yeah. Sounds like you've got a lot of high hopes for the relationship. Yeah, right. Going in with clear eyes. Clear eyes. But he wants to keep, pull the wool over her eyes. I just wanna start by saying that I am the son of a law professor,

and so I am the resident legal expert here. And before we go into any pontification about how you might get your future wife to sign a prenup. Without her knowing? I wanna let you know about some legal troubles that you might get yourself into, right? So there are at least a couple of ways that you can get into trouble

when you're trying to get somebody to sign an agreement against their will. So one is called signing under duress. So this is forcing someone to sign something, right? Like when Suge Knight held vanilla ice by the ankles over the balcony. I'm not familiar with this story. Yeah, because he wanted rights to something. The vanilla ice test. Yeah, so that's illegal. That's signing under duress.

But there's also something called fraud in the inducement, which is when you use deception to get people to sign things. That's exactly what he's talking about. You want to have fraud in the inducement. Right. So you can't really do this legally. Great way to start a marriage. So I would say that this is an unethical thing that you want to do.

Yeah. Having said that... Let's build our marriage on a big lie that is an exit for me. Let's just say, for instance, in theory, you actually did want to do this in spite of it being unethical and ill-advised. Hold on, are you saying, let's just say in theory,

we wanna help you? Yeah, if we were to help you in theory for entertainment purposes, how much you get your future wife to sign something that she doesn't know she's signing? So just to be clear, we are saying don't do this. This is wrong-minded. But if you did do it, this is how you would do it.

It's like that O.J. book. We're gonna give you... I didn't do it, but if I did, this is how I would have done it. The way that everyone thought that I did. We're gonna tell you how to do the thing... Rest in peace. ...that we don't want you to do. Rest in peace.

We're gonna tell you how to do the thing that we don't want you to do. Is that what I said? Yeah, I think they understand. How do you get somebody to sign something that they don't want you to do. Is that what I said? Yeah. I think they understand. How do you get somebody to sign something that they don't know they're signing? Don't do what we're about to tell you to do. Okay, I think we've made that clear. Well crap, did you have an idea?

Because now we gotta. Oh, no. Now we gotta go to the dark side. Well, okay, well the first thing that comes to mind for me is do you know how sometimes when you sign your name on something and it doesn't look good, and you're like, man, I wish I had a better signature, right?

Yeah. Okay. And so this is something that usually, this happens when you're younger, like when you're like a teenager and you begin like figuring out how you're gonna like sign your name, right? Like, so you don't look like just a chump. Okay.

But what you can tell your wife is that, you know what? I think you're gonna be famous. I think you're gonna be famous. And I think people are gonna want your signature. And I think- You don't wanna look like a chump. I think you need to be famous. And I think people are gonna want your signature. And I think that you need to be practicing your signature. And I'll give you notes. Right, but you need to practice on documents. Well, first-

So I'm gonna give you documents. No, that's not subtle enough. You start with blank paper. Yeah. Note cards, eight and a half by 11, whatever, even legal eight and a half by 13, whatever it is, you go there, you do a lot of signing until, You're giving her no time. When you think she's ready,

you're like, I think you're ready. This is maybe a weekend, she's ready. And then you bring in plan phase two, which is what you're getting at. I like your phase one because what I was gonna start with is you gotta find a right time where she's exhausted. When she's ovulating? Yet open and ovulating.

Yeah. Okay. I mean, I think biologically women are more cooperative when they're ovulating. I don't think this is a good thing to talk about. I don't think we should track the ability to manipulate women to their menstrual cycle. I think that while it might be scientifically true, there is a strategy there. I do not believe that we should talk about it. But we've already said we don't believe in any of this.

Right. Don't do what we're telling you to do. That's true. We also don't believe this part of what we're saying. I mean, but, I mean, there's women here. They could, you know what? When are y'all most susceptible? When are you most, what was the word?

It's not susceptible or compliant. What did I say? Open to... Influence? Influence. Okay, susceptible. Ha ha ha. When you're ovulating, right? Uh, it's...

Probably? Yeah. That's susceptible to flattery when you're ovulating. Yeah, flattery. I would say just avoid the luteal phase. Yeah, yeah, don't try any of this during the luteal phase. It won't work. What the hell is a luteal?

Lume? It's a phase of the menstrual cycle. Is this right before it starts? Yes, yeah, it's leading up to when it's starting. Can you talk about PMS? Well, it's, yes, but it's a slightly before as well. It's when all- Pre-PMS? It's like when all the hormones really start to shift.

It's when it's revvin' up. It's revvin', it's revvin' up and don't. I've sensed this at times, not as much as I'd like to sense it because it does happen more than I'm ready for. Well you could track it. It's trackable. Okay, yep.

Uh-huh. And that is helpful. Yeah. It is helpful to know. So you gotta make sure you're not in the luteal point in the. Yeah, don't try and convince a woman of anything weird during a luteal phase. You will get in trouble, get told off.

Yeah, yeah. The storm will dump on you. So you want her to be ovulating, I guess is what we're saying. Yeah. You want her to be ovulating. You said it. I apologize. I didn't say it. I apologize. Alright, you wanna be post-ludial, ovulation optimal.

Okay, and this is what phase two activates. I like phase one because I thought, I was gonna say, when she's sleepy, yet ovulating, I guess. But I like what you're doing because you're putting her in a training environment where she's being exhausted and mentally... This makes me uncultured. ...mentally strained.

You're making me uncultured. I'm just describing what I heard you say. I was having a good time when she was just practicing her signature because she was gonna be famous. This is all positive reinforcement. She's not tired. But you are lying. She's engaged.

Well, no. I think that she might be famous. His wife, anybody can be famous. Famous. Yeah, look at us. You just make a joke about BJs on an interview and all of a sudden you're, you got an agent, you know what I'm saying?

Oh. Like, I'm not disparaging Hot To A Girl. I'm just saying that. Don't talk to me about her, because I've managed to avoid it. I'm just saying that in the blink of an eye, you can do something at the right place in the right time and you can be famous.

And you better have that signature ready, girl. You gotta have the signature ready. Phase two is you just slide in a document underneath all the index cards. And just that subject, just the signature line's popping out. Wow. What are you saying? You gotta be accurate with your signature. You know what your signature is, but now you gotta be able to keep it in a confined space. Like, say a document.

Now I wonder if we have any lying around that maybe you can just sign. Oh, I have a better idea because I think that she'll see through that. If this is the kind of person that might be famous one day, I think that they'll probably know they're being taken advantage of. So this is my addendum to your plan.

Okay. You take a sheet of paper, you cut a rectangle into it. And what you do is you say, when you get famous, you're gonna have, there's gonna be people coming in from everywhere, paparazzi, people with photos. Giving you baseball mitts. They're throwing things out and you've gotta be able to quickly hit the surface with your instrument and sign. They're throwing things out and you've gotta be able to quickly hit the surface

with your instrument and sign. Boom, boom, boom. So you set up an environment. You give her a target and then you've got the prenup behind that target and then you quickly put your thing over in the little thing, the little window is right on the signature. Bam, she does it and it's just part of an exercise. Right, and you know what? Maybe you'll never need it. You know what? That's what you're open for. But just in case.

Your lies and deception will never be exposed. But if they are, you better have a clause in that prenup that says that what you did is fine. You know, I would write that in the prenup. If she didn't know that... You reference the deception that is happening to sign the prenup in the prenup? You can't do that. Well, she's acknowledging the deception. As a local legal expert, you also... That's fraud and the inducement.

It doesn't make it better that you addressed it in the document. Let's move on, because now... I mean, I feel like I need to take a shower. That wasn't us. That wasn't us. I feel bad about that. That's not who we are. We would never do that. You know that. That's just a horrible way to start a relationship. Yeah. Don't do that. And you know what? I think he was joking as well.

I think he was joking too. What we're not joking about is the fact that WonderHole is continuing to happen over on the OG Rhett and Link channel, which was, yes, we have at least temporarily renamed to Rhett and Link's WonderHole. So you can find it. There's five episodes that are out and there's one more to go that's coming out this Friday

to complete this first season of six. Thank you for watching. Thank you for all your feedback. Yes. It's been quite a ride.

I don't think you should wait. I think you should watch them individually, and then when they all come out, watch them all together. Yep. I agree with Link. I'd love that.

Hi, Rhett and Link. This is Nia. I recently got back into watching Good Mythical Morning after a number of years back or a number of years away. I think I'm here to stay this time though. I've been recently going through like a couple seasons back, just like episodes I missed over the past couple of years. And it got me wondering, have there ever been any episodes of Good Mythical Morning that were scrapped or canceled or whatever? Maybe there were ideas that just didn't like

plummet to fruition, or there were episodes that you filmed and never released or there were just parts of episodes you filmed and never finished them or whatever. I was just wondering that. So it's a simple question, but I am pretty curious. I really love your content and videos, so thank you. You give me something to look forward to every morning. Welcome back. Welcome back. You know, it happens. You go through phases of life. You might be in a luteal period. Right. Yep.

But then you'll come back to us. And we're here for you. Studies show that most women come back to us when ovulating. That's not us, though. That's not who we are. No, no, no. We don't talk like that. No. All of that was in a hypothetical safe zone. I don't know why I went back to it. Now you're in a... it's dangerous to bring anything out of that hypothetical safe zone

into any other part of conversation. Forget I ever said. Because that's not us. That's not who we are. But hey, listen, if you're anything like me, I could never keep listening to or watching the same people. I'd have to take breaks from them. And then you come back and you're like, oh yeah. That's totally fine. It feels like the first time. I love that. Now, you ask a really good question.

There is an answer. There's an answer and for years now, we've said that, and we've been told not to talk about it. Uh huh. years now, we've said that, and we've been told not to talk about it. We've been told not to talk about it, and I'm tired of it. I'm tired of not talking about it. Well, we can talk about it in a certain way. Alright, I'll grant you that. Will you let me set it up so that I do it in a safe way? A safe, legal way? I don't know what we have to be afraid of, and you can explain that to me

afterward, but maybe this will make it more intriguing anyway, so I like that. Okay, you may remember there was a time, I don't even remember what year it was, I blocked it out, maybe it was 2017, is that when we did GMM 22? Let's just keep going. Yes. So this is when we did.

Part of 2018. Okay, a bunch of episodes every single day, like four or five segments per day on GMM. It was not a success. But one of the things that happened in that period was that we had a lot of guests, if you do not recall, a lot of guests. And so there was pretty much every day

there was somebody on the show. Right. Yep. And there was an eccentric filmmaker that we really wanted to talk to. And we had every idea that a conversation with him was going to be entertaining. idea that a conversation with him was going to be entertaining. And we had a couple of ideas for inducing the entertainment quality. He was also the star of one of his movies.

Yep. So I will say that. He's been in his own work and he's very eccentric. Yeah. And there was a couple of scenes that we thought that we could kind of recreate in the midst of our interview. It was set up as more of an interview. Two of us in chairs, this filmmaker on an eccentric couch.

And yeah, we were asking questions. And it seemed like it was going okay. It was going okay. It wasn't going great, but we never expected it to go great. And then while we were, It was going okay. One of the questions was basically,

can we do this thing, which was a thing that happened in the movie in like an iconic scene. It's like, can we do this thing while having the conversation? And I think he said yes. And then we're like, oh, this is going good. Now he's being cooperative.

This is good. So he started doing the thing. I don't wanna say what the thing is, it makes it too obvious. Right. While we were having the conversation, he was standing at this point. All of us were.

We were all standing at this point. All of us were. We were all standing at this point. It's required. And then the best I remember it, that ended, and he sat back down. And then we started asking something else. And it was, I can't make a direct connection between the question that we asked and the response that he gave, which was...

He was very upset. What did he say? I can't remember. You might remember the exact words. The sentiment was, you're making fun of me. And I thought he was in on the reenactment as a very mild joke. We weren't being rude. No, I don't think we crossed, we did cross the line that he had drawn

that we did not perceive, but I didn't feel like we did anything disrespectful, but. Boy, did he act like it because he stood up again and he started berating us and he stormed off set. He yelled at, like it was, everything got very quiet and he was just standing there just yelling at us. Yelling at us. And I was like, thinking at the time I was like, well this is never going to be on the

show. And I was thinking this is gonna be an amazing episode. This is one of the most iconic things that's ever happened. And we've talked for years. It was an honor. Because we still have the footage. We've talked for years about playing it at the holiday party, but we've never,

had never had the balls to do it. He yelled at us. Let's do it this year. He berated us. Let's do it this year. There was a lot of confusion on his part because he didn't make a cogent argument in his tirade. Well, cogent arguments were never really his thing. Nope. And so he stormed off set and then his publicist and all these other people were chasing him. Like our showrunner at the time was chasing him. And then we get

ushered back to our office. Mm-hmm. And I was like, is he gonna be in here? Are we gonna have to endure more of this? He wasn't in there, but it was like Stevie and the showrunner at the time, and like, we're just trying to figure out what happened and what do we do?

And I was, and I was... You were pushing to keep it, of course. I wanted to keep it. I thought it was... And I had already fast-forwarded to the future in which we... This is the boost we needed. ...definitely were not going to keep it. This is what... this is gonna get people talking.

Oh, they would have, for sure. I still don't know why we didn't air it. Because we would have been sued. No, we wouldn't have. For what? Well, because when... People walk off sets all the time on late-night shows. No, because when someone says, I don't want you to air that.

Okay. But he signed a prenup. No, we didn't have our system. He was not ovulating. We never aired it, and... And I didn't wanna, also, let me take that back. It's not that we didn't wanna be sued. It's that, that's not the nature of what we do.

Like we would have never done something. And this is where I take issue with you actually thinking that you would have wanted to air it. Because we don't like taking advantage of people. Like that's never been, our humor has never been taking advantage of people. So when somebody does something that they don't like the way that they looked, well.

Right, we respect that. We're not gonna show that to people. Yeah. It's not the kind of content that we do. We're not looking to expose people. And the system is set up in such a way that if we weren't the upstanding guys that we were, or that you are.

Oh yeah, that I am. Speak for me. It still doesn't really allow for that to happen because you've got everybody in this town, this is a small town, and when you're talking about getting people to book people to come in, you have a working relationship with the people that book that filmmaker, but also they book other people too.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You don't want to burn a bridge with a booker. You don't want to burn a bridge with a booker by saying, hey, I can't be trusted with your client. Yeah. So that level of respect, I think it's worked in our favor. Uh-huh. But... So we do have that story.

I thought it was a wild moment. Maybe one day, maybe one day, I don't know what circumstances, maybe his death. We will honor him by releasing it. There's definitely gotta be a statute of limitations on this thing, I don't know. You'll see it eventually. You can judge if we were the horrible people.

I don't think we were. So that's our answer to that, that we have pulled the plug on something that was at least half-baked. Good question. Before we listen to another voicemail, I would like to talk about a cultural phenomenon that we have somehow become a part of.

You may have seen the show, The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. I have. If you're my wife, who's not Mormon, she's very into this. I'm not doing the reality TV thing as much with her as I used to do, so I have not come along for this particular ride.

I watched one episode over Christy's shoulder. Oh, how was that? Framed nicely by her hair? Yeah, it was beautiful that way. She has pretty Mormon hair. Yep, mm-hmm. So that was nice. She doesn't really have the beliefs though,

and I think that's kind of what makes you Mormon. Halfway there with the hair though. It's not a nationality. Well, it certainly seems like it at times. Well, okay, let me back up a second. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let me just back up a second. That's not who we are. I'm just, hey, my L back up a second. Whoa, whoa, whoa, that's not us. Let me just back up a second, okay? That's not who we are.

I'm just, hey, my Latter-day Saints people know, they know, they know that they're- They can take a Latter-day joke? They can take a Latter-day joke. They can climb up the ladder every once in a while, get a little joke, yeah, they're fine. Okay, yeah, I agree. And so anyway...

They're a robust group of frontiers people. This show, which is all about Mormon wives... But they're influencers, or are they dancers? I can't remember. I think there is dance, I know there's dancing. There is like TikTok dancing that takes place. I don't know a lot about it. All I know is it was brought to our attention

here at Mythical that in the first episode, there was a couple that was having alcohol or at least champagne for the first time ever. And in the process of toasting, Yes? The husband says, dink it and sink it. We have that clip, I have the clip.

I've heard about this, I haven't watched this clip. Right here. And there's some controversy that's going around on Reddit about this that we want to address. Yeah, so here's the clip. On your floors. This is a very special moment. I feel like we should go like this.

Wait, what's cheers it? Dink it? Yeah. Dink it. Drink it. Just like... Okay. He said it.

They don't like champagne. That's... They don't like champagne. Spoiler alert. It's bad. Yeah, homeboy said, Dink it and sink it. And dink it and sink it. She should have said sink it. She didn't seem to respond to the- She ignored it.

Almost like he didn't expect her to, he just said dink it and sink it, like it was just for him. It's just for him and for us. The editors probably didn't know what was happening, they just left it in there. Well, I heard- Even though it's a Mythical Beast editor.

Well, the reason I don't believe that's the case is because I think that someone on Reddit said that the captions say like clink it and sink it or dink it and clink it or something. They don't get it right. So they didn't know it said dink it. He says it a little bit under his breath. He definitely said dink and not clink. Yeah, he said dink it and sink it.

Now, this raised, so this got posted on Reddit and then there was a discussion on that Reddit thread where somebody, I'm not gonna call you out, I don't know, because I don't have it here, but somebody basically says that this doesn't necessarily mean that this guy is a fan, because I was saying Deacon and Sink It years before I ever watched Good Mythical Morning, and I was like, ho, what? What? What?

What? What? Uh, no way. We. We always thought that we had coined this term. We did. We coined it. Don't, didn't we?

It was coined. It was coined. By us. It didn't exist beforehand, but you got me thinking. I'm like, man, well, I gotta... So I said, I just searched dinkit and sinkit origin. First thing that comes up, when did the dinkit and sinkit thing start? On the Good Mythical Morning Reddit thread. What does dinkit and sinkit mean, people ask. The answer to this is, Sink is an acronym for single income no kids. And you guessed that. Dink stands for dual

income no kids. And you're right. So this is a, this is a, this is a, like a Gen Z term for Dinks and sinks. Dual and single income, no kids. We're Gen X, we didn't know about this. We didn't know about that part. There is no, I cannot find anybody else talking about. Dink it and sink it in the context of no Urban Dictionary. Putting food

or glasses together. It's just not on the internet. It's not coming up. I mean, when I look back at... I also found another Reddit thread from six years ago where somebody asked... I'd like to know in which episode the phrase dink it and sink it is first used. Of course, Novakane96 is the Mythical Beast keeper of all things that we've ever said. Aggregator, if you will. And Novocaine96 says, I believe that the first dinkit is from Will It Jello?

I mean, they have the system of scrubbing all of the subtitles of every episode and then cataloging it, then it can be searched. So I actually believe this to be true. The first Dink It wasn't Will It Jello, but the first Dink It and Sink It was in Will It Pie, which was an on location at Pie Hole. Pie Hole, yeah, downtown. And then, yep, the season eight, episode 91. Yep. So people, and then somebody said, oh man, this will bug me because I remember

the first time you said it. I was like, adorable Link. Uh-uh. And then they said it again and I knew it would be a thing. You know me. Making things a thing. I'm glad that you're defending this. Because you don't like things.

Well, hey, hey, hey, we've been through this. I'm not gonna go through it again. Dink It and Sink It is us. It's a take on Clink It and Sink It, which some people might say, but you didn't say Dink It and Sink It before us. No, well first of all, it's possible to have what they call convergent evolution in crazy islands.

You might have come up with it yourself. You might have independently coined it. Google doesn't say that. It does happen, but my best guess, friend, is that this is just a faulty firing of your memory and you've gotten these things out of order. We are cultural influencers in the Mormon reality TV genre.

Yeah, and now it's no surprise, hey, let me just be honest with you. It's no surprise that an adult couple that has a child but has never tasted alcohol was a fan of what we do. I mean- We were almost at ourselves. Yeah, no, yeah, right. My first beer was when I was 21 years old. I was a good boy, I was a rule follower,

following the laws of the land. You didn't even taste one? I mean, we made wine for ourselves in high school and tasted it on a riverbank. But it wasn't that alcoholic. Right. We never measured it ABV, you know? No, we didn't.

I'm just saying. It was horrible. I'm actually, hey, this is- I'm honored. We're honored. We are fully accepting this. We would like to put ourselves forward as key players in the next season of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.

Yeah, we got other phrases. We got other phrases. And we'll say them in person and we'll interact. So maybe the way we do this is maybe this is a covert operation. We don't want to talk directly to the producers. We want to talk to you, the cast of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, including future cast, those who aspire, I don't know how it works, those who aspire to be a part of the world. Learn more of our phrases.

Learn more of our phrases, find all the ways that you can work them into. But do not let the editors know that you're doing this because they'll try to exercise power. Editors just want power, okay? And this is how they exercise it, by what? Editing.itors just want power. Power. Okay? Mm-hmm. And this is how they exercise it. By what? Editing.

And we want influence. Uh-huh. Because we are secret Mormon. Influencers. We are secret Mormon influencers. Don't let the editors impact our influence. That's right, that's right. Let's take the power back by inserting as many phrases

as you can see we can't. Yeah, if there's a blindfold. I don't know much about this show, but what I have heard, if y'all watch it at all, it gets a bit catty. Isn't there some potential swinging that's happening? Yeah, there is swinging that they at least talk about. That's the whole controversy that I think sparks the show in the first place. Wow. Yeah. It's also interesting, cause as you watch the show,

like it's so overblown and like super bright in the first episode and it starts to lessen. It takes a dark turn? Like it just like, I think editing wise, it was a choice. I don't know if anyone else noticed that. Editors trying to exercise their power. Let's make it dimmer. That could also be the DP.

It could be that. DP. The battery on your computer was going getting low too. All right, but we are honored. More of that please. We'll be in it. We'll take it. We'll be in it.

We'll be, you know, we could be. And any other Mormon shows, Let's just not stop there. I'll be a swim instructor. What's the one with the guy with all the blonde guy, Cody, with all the wives? We used to watch that. Do they still make that show? They lived on a cul-de-sac?

Is that Sister Wives? Sister Wives. Is that it? I don't know if that's still being made. Never watched that one. I was still in my reality show phase when that show was being made. I've heard our wives...

I would accept them using any of the phrases. Christie and Jessie refer to themselves as sister wives before and I would always tell them, well that means that you're both married to one of us. That's not what you mean. No, it just means they have a bond. In some ways they are married to the other guy. I think that was sort of, philosophically speaking.

In fact, we have a coffee mug. There's no swinging. In our house that I think that was philosophically speaking. In fact, we have a coffee mug. There's no swinging. In our house that I think was a gift from your wife. I think they might've bought it together, but it says, if we were Mormons, you would be my sister wife or something like that. I drink out of it all the time. It is still, it's currently still releasing.

Yeah, it's 19 seasons. We'll be on that too. Okay, so we're contacting the cast of Sister Wives right now. Yep. There's a lot of children on that show, y'all might watch. Feel free to use any of our phrases.

I will be a decaffeinated beverage distributor. What will you be? You're saying you're gonna show up on the show as a decaffeinated beverage distributor? Yeah, I drive a truck. I wasn't saying I wanted to be on the show. I just was saying I wanted him to be on the show. I've been saying in every way I can

that I wanna be on the show. Oh, well, I would like, I mean, this could be controversial, but I look a lot like Mormon Jesus. And so if there is an open role for Jesus to make an appearance. Right, it could be like a- Probably is getting to be sacrilegious, but maybe-

Do they have flashbacks? Maybe as- Are there origin flashbacks? A nativity scene with an adult Jesus. Yep, yeah, there you go. You get up to the manger and whoa, that's a man. That's a manger. That's not a manger, that's a manger.

He's a big boy. I just tried to imagine you like swaddled. Yeah, I'm not above that. So if there's a role for an adult baby, an adult baby, adult baby Mormon Jesus in any of the upcoming seasons of any Mormon television shows. I think technically Chosen is made by the Mormons, isn't it?

Am I wrong about that? Oh, oh. I do not know. Look that up, I don't wanna get that wrong. They're well-funded. I don't, and they've got a more- It is not. It is not. It is not?

We know this now. It is not. It is not. We know this now. It is not. It says- Who's behind the show? It says the show isn't produced by Mormons, but it says some Christians have seen Mormon influence on the show. Oh. Oh. Okay.

But they have a more accurate Jesus, it seems. The guy who plays Jesus probably looks more like Jesus actually looked. Okay, good. Than I do. You know what I'm saying? All right.

You know what's great about Ambition? You can't see it. Some things look ambitious but looks can be deceiving.

Drive your Ambition, Mitsubishi Motors. Okay. Oh, you wanna listen to another voicemail? Yep, yep. Let's still do that. Charles, Laugh Line. My name is Jack, I'm from Chicago, but you can call me Rose. I just got done listening to your Yellowstone episode, and I really appreciated the factual segment or assessment on the country Canada. I was wondering if you could do something

similar, you know, because I'd really like to hear what you have to say about Chicago, Illinois. You know, just tell me how it really is, man. Yep. Y'all have a good day. Our pleasure. We've been there to Chicago multiple times. Multiple, several times. And we've made some observations. Got a very developed sense of the place.

This is an, these are all very informed Chicago opinions. Let me just preface it with that. Yep, let them have it. There are three food groups, pizza, hot dogs, and Italian beef. And that is the only thing I've ever seen any one of them eating. And as a result, the people of Chicago

over a series of generations have evolved actual new arteries that pre-bypass. So a lot of people don't know this, but the only place in the country where you have arteries that grow out of your heart and make a bypass before you need a bypass, it happens in Chicago. And if you're lucky, you get a pre-triple bypass. Well, the more you can grow, the better.

Pre-quadruple bypass. Right. It happens. And 98% of people who live in the Chicago area, when their stomach has been sampled, there is a sedentary pool of deep dish crust down there that is permanent. It is lining.

It's like a sedimentary layer. The bottom of their stomach in such a way as then, that's how they know when they're upright. Right, it's also how they know how old they are when they die. If you wanna know how old someone is from Chicago when they die, and the police do this, they open up the stomach and they measure the depth of the crust.

Right. And they know how old everybody is, not because of family records or anything, but because of those samples. And of course it's windy. We don't have to tell you how windy it is, but the ballast in the stomach is the reason why Chicagoans are so resilient to wind. But speaking of wind, a lot of people don't know this. The entire town is wind powered. And when I say that, I don't mean just that the cars run on wind.

You might notice this, if you look at any pictures of cars in Chicago, you'll notice that they all have a teeny little sails, and that's how they get around, wind only, but also- You'd think it's just a also, a lesser known element of this is that the voices of the people of Chicago are also wind powered. So a person who's in Chicago does not expel anything

from their lungs when they speak. They open their mouth and they receive wind. And so you'll notice versus like most people in the world, a Chicago person is coming in. So this is everyone else. Chicago is. Because it's the wind flowing over the vocal cords that allows them to communicate.

It's like a piano being played just by someone blowing on it. And their diaphragms are extremely underdeveloped. Also, it is a law within the city limits that you can only talk about sports between the hours of 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. And if you violate this, you are choked with a bratwurst. Right, and they line up for it.

And there's a certain group of Chicagoans who like it. Mm-hmm. They like the Bratwurst? Yeah. A certain group. And I believe over this past summer they had a brat summer. Yeah, they did. Right. It was a big thing where they were lining up around the block to be choked by Bratwurst for talking about sports after hours.

Really bright green dresses. Yep. And getting choked by brats. Right, yep. And finally, the people of Chicago, they believe that the Great Lake next to them is the actual ocean. Right, and you can't tell them any different.

They are like, it's the beach. Take them on the boat to the other side. No matter how many times any different. They are like, it's the beach. Take them on the boat to the other side. No matter how many times you say, They're in Europe. Y'all, it's a lake. That is a freshwater lake. They won't hear it. It is not the ocean.

They think it's the ocean. And we love them. Yeah, we love them for it. We love them. It's one of our favorite places to visit. It's a lot more digestible than Canada, I'll tell you that. You get up there and you're just lost. There's no street signs, there are no streets. Yeah, they do have street signs.

Don't get us started on Canada. There's actual pavement in Canada. Like, the roads are paved. I mean, in Chicago, I'm sorry. Chicago, yeah. In Chicago, the roads are paved. Yeah. There's drainage, they have an paved. Yeah. There's drainage.

Glad to be a FELP. They have an infrastructure. Glad to be a FELP. You called us. We answered. There's more where that came from. But what else you got, Jamie? Hi.

My name is Skyah. I'm from Cincinnati, Ohio. I was just wondering generally if you could do an advice about dating or figuring out things in your youth and letting that happen. Specifically, I'm going through a breakup and I'm wondering if you have any advice about how to like cut off the communication and let go and just be like, this is it. Like I am at peace with this and that's fine because I'm finding it difficult.

Anyway, love you guys, love you work. Incredible, you're the best. Okay, bye. Thank you for all the encouraging words there at the end. We can help you. Are we going to? You be the judge of that. I am sad that you're going through a breakup,

but you know, I think you gotta believe that it's for the best. There's a reason why it's happening, but there's a party who doesn't want it to happen. And you're like, there's all these false starts that I'm inferring, and I mean, when I broke up with my girlfriend, my high school girlfriend freshman year in college, like towards the end of, crap, it was after freshman year.

I gotta tell you, I was in shambles. I was in shambles because we broke up because we weren't keeping our boundaries. Oh. You know, I had these boundaries that were dictated by God God....my faith. And I was a stickler for these things, but it was... My track record was not great.

Sometimes a stickler wants to be a dickler. Heh. Now, I've already told you that I was a virgin when I got married, so it's like... It wasn't... I mean, these are just facts. But I'm only giving you the background to say that, like, it was so hard to break up when you didn't really want to. It was like, it was strange, actually.

It was really bad. I think it's definitely the most depressed I've ever been. And you wanted to remain friends. And that didn't work for us. The way that this was phrased in this question was, I'm going through a breakup, and it seems like maybe there are some incidental, maybe some intentional connections

that are being maintained. I think about the breakups that I had, like a middle school breakup, you break up with a person, and then they're in class the next day. You see them the next day. And then you're like, well, and we had a group of friends that,

if you dated somebody in the group, and then you broke up, the dynamic of the group might change a little bit, but the group itself would not change. The members of the group would stay the same, which I actually think is healthy, but that's like for school yard stuff. School yard stuff, you eventually get over it.

I think in this situation... Like I have, I dated girls in the friend group that then, and so did you, that then they just became friends. Yeah. And that was even in high school. But I don't necessarily think that, I think that's healthy in that context. I now think of them as friends, not as ex-girlfriends.

But I don't think as an adult that's necessary, I don't believe that's the way you do it. That's hard, it's gotta be tough. We haven't been through this. We haven't been through like a post-internet breakup where you've got like, okay, well how do you handle the social media thing? Never done that.

Do you continue to text them? I mean, Jenna, what's the worst breakup you ever been through? Oh boy. The worst breakup I have ever been through. Jenna over there taking her glasses off. Taking my glasses off, rubbing my face. Rubbing her face.

Okay, the worst breakup I ever went through was in college and man, I love this guy. And we had just moved in together and it was three days after my birthday, and he told me that he couldn't do it anymore. And I had to- After three days of living together? Yeah. Oh.

Yeah, after like a week of living together, three days after my birthday, he said he couldn't do it anymore, and had to move out and I moved out. I had nowhere to go so I moved in with my Aunt Marina and then did a little digging and yeah he had been unfaithful for quite a large amount of time of our relationship and he was friends with my cousins so I had to see him on multiple occasions, and it was brutal, brutal. How did you let him know that you found out the truth? Did you write? Did you use blood to write on anything?

I was still fairly active on Facebook, so I'm pretty sure I sent some crypted... Oh, you Facebooked. Did you ever write on anything? I was fairly active on Facebook, so I'm pretty sure I sent some cryptid... Oh, you Facebooked it. Like, you know, when you used to do the cryptid, like, statuses on Facebook, like, you know, this is like geared at like one particular... Right, one person. I did some of those.

I'm sorry. We certainly, yeah, yeah, yeah. He denied everything, of course, but anyway, he also was dealing with drug problems. Well, with Jenna. I mean, do you feel like you were spared at this point? Oh, yes, certainly I feel like I was spared 100%. Right, so I think the question revolves.

The man should be in prison. Is he? No, that is not. Oh, wow, oh, God. Yeah, the man should be in prison. So he? No. Oh wow, oh God. Yeah, so I think you're both confirming one thing which is just like, if a breakup occurs, it's probably because it needed to occur, right? So you could take some solace and like, okay, this wasn't, this relationship at least right now

was not meant to happen. But the question of the level of cutting someone off, and I'm just theorizing at this point. If I were in the situation where I actually wanted to move on, I feel like I would have a discussion where I said, listen, I respect you and like you as a person and wish the best for you,

but I think that if we don't have another social thing that's gonna cause us, like maybe we work together, maybe you're friends with my cousins. Like when we see each other, we will be congenial, but I'm not going to continue to have regular contact with you. I'm not, you'll see that I've unfollowed you on the social networks. You'll see that I'm not texting you'll see that I've unfollowed you on the social networks.

You'll see that I'm not texting you anymore. You're saying all this is part of a negotiation for breakups? No, no, it's not a negotiation. Just let it out, just block them and move on. No, no, I'm just saying, okay, sometimes, well, the reason I'm saying you're just communicating that that's what's happening,

because if you don't communicate it, all of a sudden you just completely cut them off, and maybe you need to in a situation like what Jenna was dealing with, you just completely cut them off. But I'm saying, if you wanted to still have a, like you still respected the person. The reason you broke up was because it just wasn't gonna work out,

and you didn't want to just, you know, banish them from the earth. You just be like, the reason I'm not gonna respond to your text, the reason I'm unfollowing you on this is because this is the boundary that I'm setting up. I'm just letting you know. Are the worst breakups, like that was bad. Thanks for sharing that.

Thanks, thanks. Is it actually worse to break up when it's not over a big thing, but just over like, long-term incompatibility? Is that actually worse than finding out that you've been cheated on? Like, I don't know the answer. Oh, it's probably way worse to fully go through it,

to fully follow through with it, yeah. But what's a more heart-wrenching thing overall? I've had a few situations that were heart-wrenching because I genuinely cared about these partners that I had, but it was one of those where there wasn't a long-term, it was clear we were going in different directions. We loved and appreciated each other, but we weren't each other's people. And those are hard because those are slower and those you still kind of

keep in contact with. That's what it sounds like she's doing. That's when you need, that's what you're talking about when you need, you need to come up with some sort of like, I'm reading between the lines, I'm going through a breakup. She didn't say, I just broke up. It's like, it sounds like it's somebody coming to the realization that they're not supposed to be together.

And that can be hard because you get lonely pretty fast, right, and so. And having a plan, like putting a plan and some commitments and some boundaries in place is probably, might save some heartache of like the flip-flopping and the waffling. Yeah, definitely just asking for, like if the breakup is happening and going through,

just asking for space and whatever boundaries you need, if that means that they need to not contact you for a while, but you haven't fully blocked them if they do need to reach out or if it's a full blocking situation, you could certainly, if you don't want to unfollow someone or block someone on social media, you could mute their notifications and that's a good way where if you're not fully cutting someone out of your life that's also great if like you don't want them to know that because they're blocked or unfollowed. Because sometimes communicating what I just communicated could actually create a new thread with that person that you don't want to have.

So I recognize that. Yeah, yeah. It really just depends on the... But muting, you don't see their stuff, but they could still see yours. They could still see yours. There's no indication. What about burning their shit? Um... That you've still got. Um, what?

And like a ritualistic... Ritualistic is very fun. Highly encourage. Um, what? And like a ritualistic. Ritualistic is very fun, highly encouraged, yeah, yeah. As long as it's not anything that is toxic when it burns. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, we're outside, we're in the woods. Cotton clothing is perfectly fine. Letters that they send, photos, perfectly fine. Yeah, yeah.

I don't know about letters. I Burn some sort of effigy of them that I highly recommend. Goes with safe. You're too much of a collector, man. Letters are the perfect thing to burn. Because then, like 30 years down the road, you're like, what is this? And then you're like, man, look at, I was.

You don't need it, you don't need that. You don't need that, burn that shit, man. Okay. Burn the letters. Yeah, cremated, burn that shit, man. Okay. Burn the letters. Yeah, cremated, that part of you is dead now. I don't think I, I don't have letters from that era. We didn't, but we did write letters to each other, but I don't have them, I don't think.

You might have them in a shoebox somewhere. I mean, if they turn up 20 years from now, I mean, Christie and I can read them together and get a kick out of it. Yeah, but I'm saying if you were looking for some catharsis in the moment. Yeah, yeah. Burn something. You don't have to burn them off. Maybe you digitize them before you burn them. Oh, no, don't do that. It makes it too convenient. You gotta hide it in like a hidden folder or something like that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. If people burn things, though, remember, be safe about it. Talk to your local fire department. Don't start a forest fire. Don't do this in California. Don't start a forest fire. Don't do this in California. But highly recommend burning an effigy of an axe.

Get the firemen's, get the fire people's help because then you might spark a new road. Oh, meet a fire person. Yes, they work weird hours though. They are attractive. Yep, yep a fire person. Yes, there's. They work weird hours though. They are attractive. Yep. And they like it hot. They know how to act in emergencies.

Yeah. They won't smile at you with a weird smile. Have you ever dated a fireman because that is one of your types? It is one of my types. It has to be. And I have never dated one, so hello fireman. Jenna wanted to date a fireman.

If you're listening. I mean, you know we got Michaela coming in on Good Mythical Weekend for, Emily had a date on Good Mythical Week wanted to date a fireman. I mean, you know we got Michaela coming in on Good Mythical Weekend for, Emily had a date on Good Mythical Weekend. Uh-huh, uh-huh. With a fireman? Michaela is coming in, they're bringing people in for her to date. I mentioned that I am single and open to dating on the show.

Did you watch Emily's episode? I did. I was supposed to be a part of like helping cause she's one of my best friends. But like, unfortunately I wasn't in town when they filmed it sadly. Maybe we could get you a fireman. Okay. Yeah.

Yes, let's do it. I mean, you gotta be willing for him to be on call for like, what is it like? They do like a 24, maybe 48 hour shift. Yeah, that's fine. I like my alone time. They don't have to stay over every night. They can have their own thing.

How are you at treating burns? You remember I was very prepared when you straightened Rhett's hair. I am very good at being prepared for burns. Jenna's actually really good in emergency situations. I'm amazing in emergency situations. Yeah, level headed. How do you feel about a pole in your house? Absolutely, I've already had a good in emergency situations. I'm amazing in emergency situations, yeah. Level-headed.

How do you feel about a pole in your house? Absolutely, I've already had a pole in my house, for flair. Oh, shit! Okay. Man, we can learn so much about Jenna today. Okay, I enjoyed this. See, we have such a good time. We have such a good time when you ask us questions.

When you make observations about the things that we've talked about. Let's keep the momentum going. Yeah, let's do that, we like it. No one likes the sound of their own voice. It doesn't matter. Just call in. Ask the question that you've been burning to ask.

We'll help you with anything. As you can see, we've got great advice. Right. That's the type of people we are. That's who we are. Link, it's technically your rec, but I already taught you about this, and I feel like this is a rec for... This is actually neither one of our recs. We received a rec. We received a rec. I was looking at the discussion that was happening underneath the Yellowstone episode.

On YouTube? On YouTube, and someone, actually multiple people, but the first one I saw was Shenanigans Is Me on YouTube, said, you know what, you should read the book, Death in Yellowstone, Accidents and Foolhardiness in the First National Park, which I haven't read it yet, but I'm going to read it.

You said it was highly rated. There was like over a thousand or so ratings and it was very highly rated, and it just is gonna be a bunch of stories that, like Jay told us on our trip, I'm sure. In fact, the one about the dog apparently is in the book. Yeah, I would hope it would be. So that's gonna be my next... We're so twisted. My next read.

It's not for everybody. So, we're recommending you try it. When we recommended American Buffalo, I hadn't listed the whole thing, and then there was a whole chapter about how he disassembles the buffalo so that he can transport all the parts out. And I'm driving down the road about to get nauseous. I'm like, man, I can't believe this is tough for me.

I think we need to, I think you need some exposure therapy. I think we need to take you. Well, that's it. I was trying to gently smile. Yeah, I think we need to take you through a butchering process of something. You know, so you can get back in touch with... That's basically what that chapter was.

Your carnal, you know, just the history. My hunter-gatherer. Your hunter-gatherer history that made our species what it is, man. I think you might need just to go out with me. So that's our rec. Something we, as... We're just passing along a recommendation that was basically something we haven't... Something we talked about, but we haven't read the books. The recommendation is that you also read it, and then we'll all talk about how good or bad it was.

Okay. We're starting a book club. No we're not. No we're not. I was like, wait, yeah! Don't get excited, Jenna. We might though. We might someday. Lots of people have asked. We're gonna start installing poles in people's homes, though. Yep.

Mm-hmm. In Mormon's homes. Yep. Well, I don't know. All right. Talk at you next week. Thank you for making your biscuits what it was today. Wow. Hey, Rhett and Link. My name is Jacob from Georgia. And I really just wanted to say that here recently, after becoming slightly physically disabled and not being able to work, on the days that I have to sit at home and

Be in a lot of pain and can't do much else You guys always put a smile on my face whether it's your podcast or Good Mythical Morning I know you probably hear that a lot, but you guys are a really important part of my day God bless you both. You are fantastic and you really helped me get through life with a smile. So thank you Redlink.
