And I'm Link. This week at the Round Table of Dim Lighting, we're asking the question, do we consider Los Angeles home? What makes a house a home? What makes a state or a city or a new place that you didn't always call home a home and do we do that with Los Angeles at this point?

Mm, and I do wanna just go ahead and apologize. This week, I'm gonna be the guy who apologizes for being sick. I don't even know if my voice sounds different. I can't, to me, I sound like I'm inside of like a barrel. Well, first of all, let me say that if this is just you saying that you're gonna be apologizing for all sorts of things over this episode,

then I'm all for that. No, I'm only apologizing for if the sound of me being sick. See, now you're saying you're not gonna apologize for anything else. Don't shut it down. If I do something that's apology worthy, I will apologize. Good. But secondly, you sound like, yeah,

you do sound like you're in a barrel. I only, in my own ears, I feel like listening to myself now that I'm not completely out of the barrel because I'm not completely over the thing that apparently I transferred to you. I don't believe that you gave it to me. Yeah, well how did it start? Sore throat?

Yeah, but as we discussed on a previous Ear Biscuit, all of my colds start with a sore throat. And what is it right now? It's moved to just stuffiness. Headache? I would have a headache if I hadn't taken ibuprofen, yeah. Okay, all right. But what I'm saying is that.

It's not like I wanna take credit. But you haven't been contagious for, you had not been contagious for what I would consider like at least a week before my symptoms showed up. I mean, again, I don't know how colds work. I've had this for three weeks, maybe. But you've had a residual sinus infection, which I don't think I can catch a sinus infection.

I can catch the initial viral cold situation, which maybe was on something. Maybe you put it on something and for some reason it lived and then I ended up licking something by accident. Well, I have been randomly licking objects in the office. Well, I told Christy that you weren't coming in this, you were just coming in for this this afternoon, not this morning because I apparently gave you a cold.

She was like, I'm not sick, you didn't give it to me. And we sleep together. And I didn't give it to my wife and we sleep together. And my kids who, but most likely, especially my, I mean if you're gonna get something, you're probably gonna get it from me because I mean the stuff we end up eating after each other.

We're trapped. We're yelling at each other right now. I think we're trapped in the same room. There's imperceptible particles being fired at your orifices right now out of my orifices. We're trapped in the same room more often. Because obviously I share a bed and a bedroom with my wife,

but I have like a, I got a special air purifier in there. It's like constantly catching things. We've got a weird one that like we won for, like that our wives got from Ellen. Remember that? Yeah. We have a weird one from Ellen in our office.

Christy and Jessie went to a taping of Ellen and it was one of those days that they, she gave everyone in the audience some weird air purifier. And we've got it and it's always on but I do not believe that it works. Oh. Because it's never been,

the filter's never been changed. But Jessie always faces away from you when sleeping because there's a distance between the two of you that's palpable. No, actually, you know what, this is interesting because you know this, because you and Christy shared a very, very small like single bed.

Nice double bed. It was a double bed but a double bed to me, a person of my size, that's a single bed, that's a twin bed. If I get into a double bed with someone, I am making full contact with them. My leg, also because I sleep on my side so I take up a lot of lateral space.

I do not like to be, I'm such a light sleeper, I do not like to be touched while sleeping because I will wake up. And so, but Jessie is a deep sleeper and she's also, you know, like a super cuddle monster. And so, A cuddle monster. So she is, usually we wake up

and I'm on the edge of my bed and she's in my spot. Like she has moved me all the way to the side. That's usually how we wake up. But also, she is, she's like, you know, and I think you've done this, you've accidentally struck your wife while sleeping by like moving around in that. On a weekly basis, I wake myself up realizing

that in flailing my right arm, I've either struck her or almost struck her. And the thing is is that I am probably, if there is a spectrum of like accident avoidance, like how much accident avoidance do you have? And I don't know if it's just something about being really big and feeling like I've got, I take up a lot of space.

I believe that I am on the complete upper end, almost off the spectrum of accident avoidance. Like I hate to accidentally bump my head into things. You sleep like you're mummified. I don't step on people's feet. Like a lot of tall people will just step on people. My wife will step on your foot. If you spend more than four hours with her,

she will step on you. That's just what she does. And I think it's because she's just little and short and so she feels like she can't do any harm. And so it transfers to the bedroom. And she's never really clocked me in the face but I have this phobia of her elbowing me or punching me in the nose and so subconsciously,

I sleep on my side facing away from her. You're like flinching. But now that I've got this cold and I have a deviated septum, I'm giving you all kinds of information. Take it and do what you will with it. My left nostril is much more, has a lot more airflow than my right nostril.

When I get sick, my right nostril is almost useless. So, but in order to lay on my, if I, when you know how when you lay on one side and then the drainage goes down and one of the nostrils opens up when you're sick? Yeah. That's facing her, because I sleep on the right side of the bed.

So now I am completely in it. And while I'm sick, I'm sleeping on my right side, completely exposed. I've been thinking about wearing like a hockey mask. But I think that the hockey mask would work against like the airflow. So I'm really, I really don't know what to do, basically. Maybe a catcher's mask.

A catcher's mask lets a lot of air flow through. Yeah like a lacrosse helmet. Or that. Yeah, something like that. A football helmet would allow quite a bit of breeze as well. Like a kicker's helmet that just has the old school kickers where it's just one. They don't do that anymore.

If I was a kicker. They got a full thing now. If I was a kicker, I'd have the one thing. But kickers tackle now. Kickers gotta tackle. Gotta do that anymore. If I was a kicker. They got a full thing now. If I was a kicker, I'd have the one thing. But kickers tackle now. Kickers gotta tackle. Gotta do it all, it's very competitive. The world's a competitive place now because of, I don't know, because of the internet.

Because of the internet. Well, I mean, I had to resort to the neti pot. I was like, I'm going back to this thing. But had you done it before? Many years ago and then there was the thing where it's like, oh don't use a neti pot because you'll get like a brain eating amoeba from the tap. And now when you buy one, it's got this big warning on it

that says use distilled water. I don't use distilled water. You use tap? Yeah because it's just a hassle. I'm surprised of all people that you're using tap, running it from one nostril. Boy, that feels weird. I did it right before I came.

So if I start going cross-eyed, you know I got the amoeba. Just be ready for it. So I do have distilled water and I had- Did something come out when you did it? Yeah, just a little snot. But not- Not a lot of stuff. I love it. I mean, I had the full-blown sinus infection.

I had colors coming out of my nose that, I don't know, you could paint a mural with it. You got brown stuff coming out? I mean, there was bright red action. Oh, well that's blood. That's blood, yeah, I was bleeding. And then there was. I don't wanna talk about this anymore.

There was like, sometimes I put more spinach in my breakfast smoothie and it goes a little greener and it's typically brown. I don't think spinach, I don't think chloroform or whatever it is that makes chlorophyll. A little green action. Makes its way into your snot. But I use the tap water because those instances

of the people getting the brain eating amoeba is like, it's so unlikely. I bought a jug of distilled water. No, and you know what, you should use it. It is the wisest thing to do. You can have the rest of my jug, homie. It also depends on your water supply. We have the same water supply.

No, no, but I don't think that, I think that most of those instances have, I don't think any of them have been in Southern California. Also, I have a filtration system built into my house. Oh yeah, listen to him. And I have a UV light. Oh, listen to him. I have a UV bulb.

This is the previous homeowner. They installed all this and I'm just maintenance. You got central vacuum? Yes, but we took that out. Don't need that. It was very old and non-functioning. Yeah, the guy who, the family who had this house before, they were all about the central vac, the UV treatment.

It gets dated. But listen, about that neti pot, if you've never used one, let me tell you, you throw that thing on one nostril and then you start leaning to the side. And first of all, if you try to follow the instructions on the back of the thing, it says weird stuff like, rotate your chin but don't move your chin out beyond the neti pot, it doesn't make sense.

It's intuitive, just do it until it feels right. Do it until it feels right but if it feels it feels right, but if it feels wrong, it can feel very wrong, and even when it feels right, it feels wrong, because you're filling up that, until you get where you like it, though. My recommendation is to watch a YouTube video, but, I mean, what's the worst that can happen besides a brain-eating amoeba?

The first time you do it, you could get water going down your throat. You feel like you might be drowning yourself the first time you do it. You could get water going down your throat. You feel like you might be drowning yourself the first time you do it. Yeah, because it's. But then after that, once you adjust and get the angles right, because I made my, I made Locke do it, Shepherd wouldn't do it.

Made him do it. And. You just grabbed him by a head full of hair and just shoved a neti pot in his nostril. And they just didn't, he just didn't. Tilted his head. I was like, dude, you gotta get where you can be in control of this and own it.

It's weird, it's a weird feeling. It's not that the feeling goes away, it's just that you learn to expect it. But I mean the first time you do it, and it had been many years so it was very fresh to me, it was like, I felt like I was filling up my whole brain cavity with salt water. Because you mix in that salt water solution.

Yeah. Nothing's coming out the other side so I'm like, and it's just half the pot's going up my nose, nothing coming out and I'm like, where is this going? Is it gonna come out my ear? You're blocked. And I started hearing a weird thing in my ear, it started to burn a little bit but it felt like.

It's all connected. Felt like my eyes were gonna float out. And it's just, yeah, you feel like you're drowning yourself via one nostril. That's weird. Because all that happens to me when I'm super stuffed is it just, I can feel it trying to go into the other side and then just going down the back of my throat and coming out my mouth.

So it's like pushing up against all the stuff that's in there but it can't get through. But if a glop comes out, that's satisfying. That's what you want. I think I became dependent on it last time I got sick. There are people who I bet do it every day. I was doing it morning, middle of the day, and night. They got a new one that's powered.

Have you seen the commercial for the one that, you don't even bend, you don't bend sideways. You just put it on your face and it powers the water in one side and just out the other side. Not necessary. It literally takes it out and then puts it into like a reservoir, so you just like,

it's like putting on a mask. So what, you can drink it later? You could save it and you could see the blood. You can see all the nasty things and know exactly what happened instead of having to look in the sink. Oh gosh, it's a weird feeling though. Why we talking about this? Getting your whole head filled up with saline solution.

Anyway. I feel like I've still gotta shake it out. I hope I don't have, I hope what happened to you doesn't happen to me. I am doing it. I don't think you could take it. I am doing the neti pot ahead of time so that I don't wait until I get the sinus infection to do the neti pot.

However, some people say that the neti pot actually contributes to sinus infections because it gets rid of the mucus and the mucus is what's doing the job. Just don't mess with it, let it, don't try to treat it, just let it. But it just makes me feel good, okay? And just living on the edge,

living right on the edge of a brain eating amoeba makes me feel alive. Every time I wake up the next day after doing the neti pot, I'm like, another day, I made it. You sound like an anti-vaxxer. Another day I made it. I know I'm not right about this. I'm glad I made it another day.

So I can seem right about it. Shout out to all the anti-vaxxers listening. You're out there, we know you're out there. Way out there. Jessica Bal's a big fan. Okay, so we're going to answer some questions that you asked us. Shop

that took you away from your desk or your car in traffic? Well, for us, and I'm going to guess for some of you, that thing is... Anime! Hi, I'm Nick Friedman. I'm Lee Alec Murray. And I'm Leah President. And welcome to Crunchyroll Presents The Anime Effect.

So join us every Friday wherever you get your podcasts and watch full video episodes on Crunchyroll or on the Crunchyroll YouTube channel. Let's start with a question that... So we'll do the home question second. Yeah, we're going to start with a question that actually comes from'll do the home question second. Yeah, we're gonna start with a question that actually comes from my wife.

Oh really? Yeah, my wife has a rather vibrant Twitter account. Really? LosFamgeless, a little pun. Okay, shout out. Speaking of seeing Los Angeles as home, she decided to call her, you get it, LosFamgeless, Link? You get it, you get it?

Yeah fam. You get it, lost fam, you're listening, you get it? You get it? Yeah, fam. But she didn't respond to us by asking a question. This is just something she tweeted that you're commandeering for our conversation, which is fine, but I don't want to insinuate that she's shamelessly responding to our prompt.

She did ask me this question as well though. I mean, so technically I feel fine about commandeering it. You may have seen a while back, it was already a couple of weeks when we were recording this but Barbara Streisand, she had a dog named Samantha that was like a poodle, kind of looks like Barbara but hairier. Meaning Barbara your dog.

Yeah, kind of looks like Barbara, yeah. And incident Meaning Barbara your dog. Yeah, kind of looks like Barbara, yeah. And incidentally, Barbara is, my dog is not named after Barbara Streisand, she's named after Barbara Mandrell. But Barbara Streisand has cloned her dog at least three times, because three of them are currently alive. And she posted this picture, you may have seen it,

where she took the three clone dogs to the grave site of the original dog and they, in a funny way. Did a family photo? Did a family photo. She put the three dogs on top of the grave. Okay. And as you might guess, they all look the same. And then there's a picture of the original dog.

Identical. Yeah, the original dog. Identical. Yeah, the original dog has a picture, like a color picture of itself on the grave. So you've got basically four identical dogs in the picture. Well which costs more, a full color rendering gravestone of a dog or a cloned dog? I think a cloned dog, considering that she claims

to have paid $50,000 for it to have been done or the news claims that that's what it was. And just a few years ago, it was $100,000 to get it done. It's getting cheaper. Prices coming down. That's good. Buy, buy, buy. Jessie and I have seriously discussed the question before

and I'm really surprised that as attached as you are to Jade and how perfect you think that she is, why you haven't talked about this. Now I'm not gonna pay for it. Well her question is. Happy Sunday, is cloning your dog sweet or creepy? She made a poll. Oh she made a poll.

Over 1100 people responded to my wife's poll. The two options were the sweetest with some dog and heart emojis. When's the last time she responded to your poll? Well, not while I'm sick at least. And then the other option was that mess is creepy. 76% of people, as you might guess, said that mess is creepy. 24% said the sweetest.

Well I mean once you set up the whole, Barbra Streisand does a photo shoot at the graveyard with three dogs dancing on their, you know, their forefather or foremother, that obviously seems creepy. Well yeah. But so let's, It's unnatural. Let's detach from that, let's forget that we know

about that and let's try to analyze this question fresh. Now, the 199th episode, so a couple back, I mean we did, we had a truncated conversation about our dogs. And what we would do if they died. So thank you for your feedback and being part of that conversation,

hashtag your biscuit, but we didn't talk about, at least in my recollection, we didn't talk about cloning of dogs as an option. Not in that, I think we may have talked about it at some point, but not in that episode. It gives me pause, I mean, I think about it, because it's like, Jade, I wonder if the personality would be exactly the same. I mean, it's genetics plus environment,

the environment would be exactly the same. I mean, it's genetics plus environment, the environment would be exactly the same. So I guess so. I mean, I'm sure there's mutations that take place anytime there's a clone. I might do it just to find out that, just to see if it's. And let's just assume that the price is reasonable. I'm not gonna pay $50,000 to have this done,

but by the time Barbara is in the market for cloning, maybe it'll be 25, maybe it'll be 10. And would you pay $10,000 to save Jade's life? Like if there was a life altering, a lot of people will pay thousands of dollars if their dog gets in trouble. Now, we adopted our dog, so we didn't pay anything for him. Well, actually they do still charge you.

Well, they charge an adoption fee or whatever. A donation fee. A donation fee. Stuff going. But, I mean, a couple hundred fee or whatever. A donation fee. A donation fee. To keep stuff going. But, I mean, a couple hundred bucks, whatever. But if you had to like, okay, Jade has this life-threatening condition, you have to get surgery, I assume that you'd pay thousands of dollars for that surgery to be done.

I'd do that for Barbara. I mean, I'm in a position financially where I can afford to do it and it's not an irresponsible decision. That helps me make the decision easier. If you're all of a sudden gonna like be choosing between feeding your children or saving your dog at that point, okay, it's a different story.

I mean, another factor is if, I mean, if we're talking about the surgery, like what are the chances of success versus the quality of life afterward? Because like we talked about before, and how old is Jade at the time versus her life expectancy. Yeah, of course, all that, take into account. Oh man, I mean, I was liking the overlap idea,

which I've since pulled back from, but now I'm going back in with overlapping with an identical. But that's, I would not pay 10 grand, that is steep. Well it's 50 right now. I wouldn't pay 10. Okay. I mean.

All right let's take finances off of the table. Is it creepy or not? It's free, you can do it for free. Of course it's creepy because cloning is creepy and if we don't have a slightly creeped out response to cloning then we're probably not in touch with ourselves. It's weird, right? It's weird to be able to clone something or someone.

It's not natural. But the process is not that unlike twins. You know, genetically, which twins are creepy on their own, I do admit that. Definitely. But I think I would do it. The main reason I wouldn't do it, the main reason I would not clone Barbara

is because of the judgment that I would receive. And I just would feel like I'd have to defend myself. And I don't really have a defense other than I just really like Barbara. Yeah, I don't think you. I don't know what I'm gonna get next time I get a dog. I think it should be secret, but if it got out, it should be unjudged.

But there is also sort of the lottery of. Why is Jade living so long? Well, she's. She's 75. She's amazing. I've been telling you. But I do like the idea, first of all, okay. Why is she a puppy again?

Maybe here's a reason not to clone the dog from an ethical standpoint. Because dogs need to be adopted, right? So by cloning a dog, you're bringing another dog into the world as opposed to adopting another dog. So I could adopt another dog that needs a home next time, just like we did with Barbara. Yeah, it is, and I think.

So there's a reason to not do it. There's something to pair with that which is it is a relationship. I mean, our dogs are family members. They're dog family members but they are family members. And so it's a relationship that then with a new, you just don't wanna have, you don't wanna fabricate just for your own convenience

a relationship with a clone. It just seems like you're just trying to perpetuate something and deny something that is a part of life, which is death, and an opportunity to forge a new relationship with all of its challenges and joys. I mean, it's, you know. Yeah but what if the new dog's a bitch? Figuratively?

Then. Yeah. That, yeah, that's the risk. You know like, so we got somebody working on our house right now, the contractor, who of course Barbara loves because he is a person. And the way he described her the other day, this may be weird to have a relationship

with your contractor in this way, but he was talking about Barbara and he was like, she is pure love. She is pure love. She is pure love. That's what Barbara is. Barbara is just like, again. You're not gonna get more pure love out of another dog.

So that is, that's a, the risk is, I feel like it's a guarantee that with your next dog, you won't get that much love. Right, and so, I mean, I'm just like, okay, well, this was such a good thing, we got such a good thing going. Am I willing to take people's, you know, It feels weird. Sideways glances at me.

It's not like she's gonna wear a doggy shirt that says I'm a clone, not the original. That would be funny though. I mean what about cloning? People? Yeah, let's clone our wives if they pass untimely. I mean I think that's why it's so weird. It's like you'd never do that.

You'd never do that to a human. It's unnatural. There's other reasons why we wouldn't clone our wives because they would be a baby. Yeah, it's like you gotta. Well, that's what I was trying to tell you about. This is gonna be awkward for quite some time. That's why I was trying to tell you about Twilight

that I didn't get to. Was it that wolf guy? he made a connection with the baby and then waited for it to grow old and then they became, they hooked up. That's creepy. With the vampire's girl, it's baby. But okay, don't think of it in the context of a relationship because that's-

I'm telling you, there's so much in that Twilight, I could go back to it. That's creepy. But let's you, there's so much in that Twilight, I could go back to it. That's creepy. But let's just say there's a, okay, there's a great mind, like a person who does incredible things, right? I don't know, name someone who we consider to be incredible that does incredible things.

That Ryan's Toy Review. Okay, exactly. Somebody who has just impacted culture for the better. And we're like, well, when Ryan from Ryan's Toy Review. Okay, exactly. Somebody who has just impacted culture for the better. And we're like, well when Ryan from Ryan's Toy Review dies, what are we gonna do? We need him. And when he's a baby, it's like you don't have to wait long for him to do his thing again.

That's right, like within three years basically. Instant gratification almost from a clone perspective. The channel would be dark for just a couple years. Right. And for that time you could just do videos that are just like retrospectives. Like this is what you're gonna get, don't forget. Toddler toys, they could start much earlier

than they actually did. Start them as a baby. Put them as just a newborn. Baby, newborn toys. Are there channels where parents just get their newborns to review products? Just throw a rattle in the cage and see what happens? Well there should be. There should be.

I mean I think you can exploit your child from a very early age if you want to. Did I answer your question? I don't think you have to wait until they're five. With our Ryan's Toy Review thought experiment, did we reach a conclusion? Well first of all, can human cloning be done, I don't think human cloning can be done

as effectively and reliably, right? Or is it just unethical at this point? But could they really do it and like, they wouldn't be like screwed up in some weird way? Like what is the science of cloning these days? There was the experiment, I think it was in China a few months back where they were doing genetic mutations for medical purposes but it wasn't creating a clone.

It was using CRISPR on people but then there were. Gene edited kids, yeah. Gene editing kids and there wasn't. That's happening. There's genetic side effects. You try to get rid of this one thing but then other things pop up. Well, okay so what if they could create a clone for you

that didn't have a head? Of a dog? No, of yourself. Okay. They were like okay we're growing this clone of you that doesn't have a head. Of a dog? No, of yourself. Okay. They were like, okay, we're growing this clone of you that doesn't have a head and we're gonna harvest the organs as needed. You need a heart, well we got your heart over here.

That's cool. And this baby. And this baby without a head. You're gonna get a baby heart. You have to wait for the baby to get old enough. The headless baby's gotta grow up, gotta review some rattles. I haven't really spent a lot of time

thinking about the ethics of this, but it does sound like a can of worms that we probably don't wanna open. We don't need more people, we've got too many. We don't need to clone the ones we have. All worms are clones, by the way. That is true, isn't it? Are they asexual?

They all look the same. Worms are not asexual. I'm sure some worms are. I was just messing with you. Let's ask this next question. Jennifer Hadorn asks, how do you know when a new place you move to finally gets that feeling of home, in quotes? What are the types of things you experience

that make it a home? You both had to move far from North Carolina, which you have many fond memories of, but do you still consider it your one true home or do you get the same feelings about California now as you did with North Carolina? Just as a side note, I find myself watching our Mythical Road trip videos.

I can't remember exactly. I think in preparation for VidCon and a potential bit about being on YouTube for over a decade, because that's how long VidCon's been going on too. 10 years, this is the 10th year. I ended up going on a rabbit trail of our own videos after looking at other people's.

But I watched our, if you don't know, our Mythical Road Trip, when we moved out to LA, we had fan meetups at rest stops all across America. And we documented the whole thing and we made all types of videos, some on the Rhett and Link channel, some on what ultimately became the Good Mythical Morning channel,

it was just our second vlog channel at the time. But we captured conversations about our expectations of moving to LA and like our hopes and fears were kind of peppered in to the story of like meeting Mythical Beasts and seeing parts of the country, having never driven across the country. It was a sweet time in our friendship, Rhett.

I'm glad we documented that. And some people commented, oh I'm glad I found this, it's edited really well. We didn't edit it. Chris McCaleb did. Yep, shout out to him. But anyway, it brought back memories of that moment when we're, yeah, it was a big deal to finally uproot

both of our families, throw all of our possessions, actually we threw all the possessions that we needed for to move into furnished apartments. So we shared a U-Haul and then we towed my minivan. And then you and I drove out and our families flew out once we got to Los Angeles. But I mean, that was a huge milestone. And yeah, as we did discuss in a number of those videos,

we just didn't know. We were coming out to make commercial kings for IFC, not knowing if it would last more than a season, and it didn't. Anyway, if you wanna watch those, you can. They're still out there. Mythical Retro. But I think that, I know that I was probably more than

all four of the four of us, probably more than anyone else. I was of a mind that we're not going back. Like I was like, we're going out there. I don't care how this goes. We're staying. You know what I'm saying? My mentality was we're gonna go out there

and even if Commercial Kings doesn't work, we're gonna do something. We're gonna do, we need to make it happen out there. I was just kinda committed to it. And I think Jessie was, in a different way, committed to that happening. Not a, this is where your career is gonna take off, but more, I'm just ready for something new,

ready for a change. We lived in the house that was across the street from the house that she came home from the hospital in. Really? You know what I'm saying? Like her parents' house was across the street from our house. And she went from living with her parents

to being in college for just a couple of years until we got married. And we were in Chapel Hill, but then quickly got back down to Fuquay. So I think that she was just ready for a change, that's her personality so but. I think that there was a bit more trepidation on the Neal side associated with the unknowns

of uprooting our entire family, moving them out there. I mean Lando was in a crib. Yeah Shepherd was too, I was talking to him about this other day, I was like, you don't really, like your whole life has been in California. Yeah, Lando doesn't. And even more so with Lando who's like a year younger. He remembers maybe nothing.

I don't think Lando remembered anything because Shepard was too. And he doesn't remember anything. No, I mean, very, very like sketchy stuff. So the risk was low with them. They would go back, we would go back. Like we were out here for six months and then we went back for a few weeks

before we came back out again. To get the rest of our stuff. But I, you know, I would say that where it stands now, we moved in 2011, it's 2019, so we just passed our eighth year. So we're in our ninth year of being here. And interestingly, when you listen to this, well, I think we'll be about to go back.

We're gonna go back to Buies Creek to create something that you'll find out about later. But we'll spend some time. Oh, snap. We'll spend some time. It's gonna be related to the book Bleak Creek because Bleak Creek's based on Buies Creek loosely, more tightly in some ways than others but we're gonna go back not just to where we last lived

but to our home where we grew up and whenever I get to North Carolina, especially when you go during the summer and you're immediately hit with this blanket of damp muggy air. I don't think I'll ever lose the sensation that I am home. That I'm like really, really like this is home. This is where I grew up.

This is where I became a man. The roots, man, you tap into the roots. It's like getting back on a bicycle, man. You tap into the roots. It's like getting back on a bicycle. Yeah. It just feels right. And I don't think there'll ever be a time where I'm driving around Los Angeles or hiking in one of these very desert-y landscapes around town

when you go into nature, where I don't feel a little bit like a visitor. And I just don't think I'll ever get over that because if you moved around a bunch of different places growing up, which we didn't, we were basically in Buies Creek for our entire adolescence, I don't think you can lose that. So in my deepest core,

I definitely still consider North Carolina home and I still feel like a visitor here and I don't think that I can overcome that. But I have different feelings just in a general way. I can get into that after we hear your perspective. Well I agree and 100% relate to tapping back into my roots when I go back home that like I just said, it is going back home. This is where I'm from, this is where my people still are.

Family, old friends, landmarks. You leave the airport and you drive back home. I got grandparents still living in the same place that they've always been in. I got mom in the same county that we always, that when I grew up, same place. So it's like you travel those same roads and you access all of those memories

and nothing's gonna ever take that away and nothing's gonna ever replace that. But I do consider in a different inflection of the word home, maybe a slightly different definition, but I do have a feeling that Los Angeles is my home now. It is legitimately home for me, and I think the question is, how long did it take for it to get to that point?

I think a lot of it has to do with, my kids absolutely consider this place home. This is the place where they've built all of those memories. And Lincoln is hard pressed at 14 And Lincoln is hard pressed at 14 to have a ton of memories back in North Carolina. Lando has none. And so it was Lily who had to make more of a transition, but I mean, she was still young enough

that it wasn't that big of a deal. I mean, she had a best friend that she's still in contact with. She has like a best North Carolina friend. Lizzie who was in the Pimp My Stroller video. Yeah, right, right. She probably had the funniest voiceover. Well there was, you know, who's to say?

There's so many funny voiceovers. But anyway, I think our kids considering this home goes a long way towards me considering it home because we're like, we're making our lives here. And every day is more memories that you know, you're putting your roots down. But I also think it has to do with settling in physically to a house that, you know, when we first moved out,

that first six months we were living in Los Feliz, which is super cool, in my opinion, neighborhood. Got these hills where I think Katy Perry lives up there, and those, in the hills, and then you go down to the shops and you got the super, hey, let's go to Little Dom's. Let's go to Little Dom's and get us some Italian food. We stayed in the, but we stayed in this furnished apartment. We knew nothing about where we should be.

It was just. It was not decorated in, it was very cold the way that it was decorated, like super modern, gray. Underlit. Like it just wasn't how I wanted things to be. You like a bright? Well I would go in the bathroom and look in the mirror. Antique bright environment.

I couldn't see myself in the frigging mirror. Yeah. I had to buy a mirror with a, I had to buy a vanity mirror, like one of those makeup mirrors in order to be able to see my face in my own bathroom. It just didn't, you know me, I really like things to be how I like them to be.

So that wasn't home. Oh really? I mean it was a furnished apartment. Then we go back and get our stuff, we come back out, we moved into a house, we had a yard, but I didn't really know anybody in the neighborhood and a couple of the neighbors that we met, it was kinda like, I feel like you don't like me. There was a weird vibe in the place where we were.

Yeah. And we were, it was, from a financial standpoint, things were tenuous for a number of years there as we were moving into like paying a painful amount of rent at these places. If you are in the greater Los Angeles area with a family, you better get it together very quickly. Yeah.

Because you will be run out of town just because it's so expensive to live here, yeah. So there was definitely a year or two there it was like, I don't know if this is sustainable. The furnished apartment that we rented cost over three times my mortgage back in Fuqua. It cost over, it cost seven times my mortgage. I think you're just bad at math, dude.

No, I had bought my house much later and my house back home was pricier than yours. Yeah, I got a really good deal on my house. But yeah, the rent for an apartment that was smaller than the house that I owned. But it was furnished. Seven times my mortgage. Yeah, that's painful.

And then we're, I mean, I think, you know, we were fortunate enough to purchase homes and I think psychologically, you're really putting your roots down when you're like saying, I'm buying this place. And so that's where we're at now. So I, and I think that you, with your personality, like getting everything the way that you want it

is a big part of your personality, less of mine. So I don't like, when I thought about this question, I didn't think at all about. Physical homes. Physical homes and where we're at and being in where we were before and where we're at now. It where we were before and where we're at now. It was much more just the vibe that I get from the city and like, you know what I'm saying?

Like, and I do remember a very specific point and it actually was pretty early on. It definitely wasn't while we were in Los Feliz. It was after that. And where I'd flown back home, and we still say flying home to North Carolina, that's what we say. We'll probably always say that

regardless of how long we're here. But I remember arriving back at LAX, which is not the most welcoming airport's not the most welcoming airport. Like when you get to RDU, you're like, do people actually fly out of here? Yeah. Is it shut down? Because there's not literally a crowd of people that you have to work your way through

and a million people honking their horns as soon as you get to where you're gonna get picked up. But anyway, every time you get to LAX, regardless of what time of day, regardless of what day of the year. It's a circus. It's absolutely bonkers how much traffic there is. But I remember getting back to LAX and walking out

and waiting for a ride home and feeling like, and I wasn't like trying to feel this, it just hit me, I was like, I'm home. This feels like home because. Can you, but can you link it to something? I feel like I am now returning to basically the momentum has shifted. There is a, what do you call it when you get enough?

Tipping point. Tipping point but you're like, there's enough momentum. What is that word that we're looking for? Inertia. Yeah, we're not saying the word. I don't know, I can't remember it at this point. But basically, critical mass. There's enough critical mass in Los Angeles now

and I think it does have to do with like familiarity and like comfort and so that does have to do with like familiarity and like comfort and so that does have to do with like physical home or whatever but it just felt like the critical mass of where I kind of considered my home to be had moved, had come with me on the plane back to Los Angeles and now I was stepping into this environment that I felt like I knew, understood and could thrive in.

Well, I- Do you know what I'm saying? I know a couple of specific factors, at least for me, so try these on for size. I mean, in general, a sense of community, like actually having friends, people that like, if something goes wrong, your impulse is to call somebody who also lives in Los Angeles to like get help or advice, as opposed to calling someone

where you used to live. You know, I think that's a telltale sign. Who do you call in need? And then do you have friends? Are you making connections? Are your kids and you know, partner doing the same thing? I think also it's like like at the moment you feel hungry and you're sitting on your couch and places come to mind

that you can just get in the car and drive to. That are not Bojangles? Yeah. Right. You start thinking of places, you know what? I'm gonna go and get a so and so. I'm gonna get a sub from this place. I'm gonna get some Mediterranean food from this place,

not the eight other places, you know, because I've tried them all. I've got my favorites. I know where I'm gonna get the cheeseburger. And I'm gonna go to the pizza place, and when I go in there, the guy's gonna know me by name. I mean, that's really home when the pizza guy knows you. I think another point is.

We went to the pizza place, they were closing and he said, and we're like I'm sorry you're closing. And then he was like you know what, place your order, I'll deliver it to your house. And he knew, he knows where our house is. Yeah that's a good sign. Yeah I'm home baby. When I that's a good sign. Yeah, I'm home, baby. When I can almost telepathically order pizza, I'm home.

And trust me, I think that's probably Christy's first measure of home is do I know my pizza guy? I think being able to navigate. That probably took six years for her. Being able to navigate the landscape and not need GPS. Now, if you live in any city, you probably always have your GPS on because you never know when you're gonna run into like.

Variables. Traffic and accidents and stuff like that. But you won't get lost if your phone dies. Yeah, because LA is huge and I remember, you know, we used to come out here, before we were doing Commercial Kings, we would come out here because of course we did that amazing hit show on the CW in 2007 called Online Nation.

So good it got canceled after four episodes. But we would come out to work on that and then to come out and pitch other things and we were trying to make things happen here and we would stay at the Beverly Garland Hotel on Vine? What is that on? Vineland. Vineland. I just passed it the other night where you're on Ventura

because we went to eat with some people in Studio City, we were on Ventura, took a left on Vineland, and you go past that little shopping center that had the city walk, that we would walk to the city walk down from the Beverly Garland. Our world was- That block. That block, and then if we were to drive, it was, we would take the 101 through the mountains

down to somewhere in Hollywood to do something, to have a meeting, maybe go all the way to Beverly Hills. Yeah, it was, we'd take the 101 through the mountains down to somewhere in Hollywood to do something, to have a meeting, maybe go all the way to Beverly Hills. Yeah, that's all we did. But that was it, and that's just a very small sliver of Los Angeles, and then once you can kinda like, oh, I can draw the, for me, I know this is, like Jessie couldn't do this because she doesn't,

I annoy her to the point that I try to understand the geography in my mind. Yeah. But for me that was a big point. Because in North Carolina, like, of course when we were in North Carolina, at least up until the end, there was no GPS. Like you didn't use GPS to get anywhere.

So you could get everywhere you needed to go by just, you just knew the environment and you kind of always knew where you were. So when that happened to me in Los Angeles, it started to feel like home. That was a big moment. You know, and Britton's been living with us for half a year.

He's traveling a lot with the opportunities that he has for making music. But I mean, our home is his home base, but I don't think I'm going on a limb here to say that he doesn't consider Los Angeles home. I mean, after six months, I mean. He's also living with you. He's living in my closet.

Living in a very small area. And you know, we ask him, I'll ask him, so where'd you go today? And he's like, I got lunch at Jack in the Box. And then the next day I'm like, where'd you go today? He's like, I went back to Jack in the Box. I was like, Britain, there's other places besides Jack in the Box, you should shoot,

you know, you gotta branch out, so he started to do that, but he also pointed out there's a lot of different menu items at Jack in the Box. Yeah, it's like seven restaurants in one. They got egg rolls at the freakin' Jack in the Box. Yeah, they got tacos. It's crazy, Jack is crazy, he can't be boxed in. Jack is out of the box, man.

He is out of the box Jack is out of the box, man. He is out of the box. Jack out of the box. Missed an opportunity there for the name. But you know, it takes time and you gotta meet people and you gotta, you just can't eat it to Jack in the box if you're gonna make this house a home. Yeah. Egg rolls aren't bad there though.

I'm a fan but I'm like the only one in my family that's a fan, I don't need to be eating fast food on a regular basis so it's fine. All right, let's move on. So. So we both feel like it's home. Oh yeah. And a lot of people ask,

do you ever think you're gonna go back to North Carolina? And there's no like default, okay, when we've done our time here in Los Angeles, yes, the default is that we're gonna go back to North Carolina. At this point, there is no, there's nothing like that in play. It's like, this is where we're at.

This is where our lives have been established. This is where, like Link said, our kids' lives have been established. So I don't see that happening. But who knows what'll happen. I love North Carolina. I love living here. And I don't, I miss things about it,

but I don't miss living there, given the home that we've made here. Very happy. I agree. Russell O'lert. O'lert. What's your favorite song to sing in the shower? Hmm, favorite song to sing in the shower.

Listen, I don't sing in the shower because I got too much on my mind. every single thing that I'm doing perfectly, which I've spoken about at length in an underperforming episode of Good Mythical Morning. I haven't thought about that. Your routine is so detailed that you don't have time for singing. And listen, if you watch that episode,

it's like, except the part about peeing on your feet, stop snorting into the microphone. Tay-zonday your nose away, dude. I did a second ago, but then that one was just out of nowhere, I just had to do it. Just right into the microphone. Yeah, don't we have a filter for that? That's what it sounded like.

Kiko, we got a filter for that, right? Oh yeah. Tay-zonday that thing. Okay, turn away from the mic to sniff. Britton saw Tay-zonday in Jack in the Box. I'm lying, he did see him somewhere. He came home and he told me, he was like, you know that chocolate ring guy?

I said, yeah, Tay, man, he's still around. He's still in LA calling it home. Yeah. What was I saying before you snorted all over myself? Oh, except for the peeing on the feet part, which I was suggesting that you do in the shower, pretty much everything else that I talked about in that episode, I legitimately do. And every time I take a shower,

the majority of my brain power is directed towards just, what's the verb I'm looking for? Doing, I'll just say doing my system. I ain't got time to sit there and just like, Here's the thing though. Pleasurefully sing stuff. That's a sad fact. I think that we have pinpointed

the weakness in your system. And I think that this is a metaphor or an allegory for many different areas of life. I don't wanna have a deep introspection. I don't wanna. No, if you're too committed to the system. Don't do this to me. If you're too committed to the system, you can't this to me. If you're too committed to the system,

you can't stop and enjoy other things that could be happening. You might be right, so I'm not gonna listen. Because singing in the shower, which I definitely do, because as everyone knows, the acoustics, they make you sound a lot better than you actually sound. There's just some, and I've done it since I was a kid. Now, I will say that I have a window in my shower

and I look out at the beautiful, I got a beautiful view while I'm naked and washing, I'm looking out the window and I'm affirming myself and I'm doing healthy things. Affirming yourself? Yeah, remember? When you were there. Yeah, I didn't listen to a lot of what you said. That was just kind of a prop for that episode.

That's fair. That was late in the episode, you'd glazed over. Here's the thing. So you sing in the shower now as well as throughout your entire life. And I wouldn't say it's a, I would say it's like a 30% of the time. That seems like a lot to me for a grown ass man.

What's the last thing you sang in the shower? Well, the thing I love about this question from Russell is that I have a song that I only sing in the shower and I would not have been able to tell you that until somebody asked me. I am shocked. I would have bet, I would have bet the amount to clone a Barbra Streisand dog

that you would not sing in the shower. Why would I not sing bet the amount to clone a Barbra Streisand dog that you would not sing in the shower. Why would I not sing in the shower? It just seems so vulnerable. Like people can hear you, man. Like, I don't know. You got lots of misconceptions about me, man. I think that- You're perpetuating these misconceptions.

No, I- I'm a very vulnerable person. No, it's a specific. On average. I'm not saying that you're not vulnerable, I'm saying it's a specific, I don't know, it's like we both have a level of self-awareness that I think would prevent,

I'm putting myself in this boat. Yeah, but I'm in a shower in my own home. It's not being broadcast. But like if. To the neighborhood. If Christy's walking in and out of the bathroom, I don't know, something on a psychological level, I'd be like, it's kind of ridiculous that I'm singing

in the shower. Sometimes I will sing in the shower and Jessie will join me from outside of the shower and we will sing songs together in the bathroom. What is this, a Disney movie? I'm just telling you, that's the way it goes, down in the McLaughlin bathroom. You know what, that's beautiful.

Jessie and I sing songs in the bathroom, like try to harmonize with each other. It's not an uncommon thing, it's not like a half of the time but it's not unusual for us to start singing. All right, maybe this will turn over a leaf for me because I'm intrigued. Because you seem like the kind of person who would want to sing in the shower,

but you've gotten in your own way. That's probably true. You need to let go of the routine. What do you sing, what is your song? I don't even know if I'm gonna say the right, the name of the song, but it's by Dobie Gray. What are you talking about? It's not Give Me the Beat Boys.

Give me the beat boys and free my soul. I think it's called. Gonna get lost in your rock and roll. So It's not Gimme the Beat Boys. Gimme the beat boys, free my soul. I think it's called. Gonna get lost in your rock and roll. So it's not that one. I have sung that song in the shower, but that's not it. What is it? It's the Love in Arms song. I don't, sing it. If you could see me now.

The one who said that he'd rather roam. The one who said He'd rather be alone If you could only see me now Oh, I've been too long in the wind And too long in the rain Taking any comfort that I can. Looking back and longing for the freedom of my chains, from my chains.

And lying in your loving arms again. I do not know that song. You don't know this song? I don't even know it. You don't know this song? I don't even know it. You don't know that Debbie Gray song? It's one of the best, man. Ah. It must, I bet it sounds good in the shower.

Better in the shower. Well I've got a cold. It didn't sound bad but I would hope it sounds better in the shower. Lying in your loving arms again. Huh, now. That's my shower song. In high school, I would sing at the top of my lungs

in the shower, I've lost that part of myself. I need to get it back. I would sing Clint Black. I sang Clint Black in the shower. Because we were both going through like a Clint Black phase and singing a lot of Clint Black. Lately I've been singing Diamond Rio in the shower because I started listening to Diamond Rio.

That's good. Pick a part. I start walking your way and you start walking mine. I would sing the sad Clint Black songs. Maybe I took for granted you'd be around to pick me up on my way down. See, I can't sing that low. In the shower I could.

Yeah. You know, just killing time in the shower. Just killing time. And I would get out of the shower and my mom, our house was so small, you could be anywhere in it, you'd hear me in the shower. And my mom would say, you sound good. You sound so good. You sound good in that shower.

You sound so good, I love it when you sing in the shower. And you've let go of that, man. I've let go of it. You left that back in North Carolina? You sound good in that shower. You sound so good. I love it when you sing in the shower. And you've let go of that, man. I've let go of it. You left that back in North Carolina. You gotta bring it to California. It makes it more home. Maybe I need to move back. No, I think you can just start singing in the shower.

Give me the shower, boys, and sing my soul. I wanna do one more quick, very quick one. I know you got a wrecking effect, but Tam Brand asks, what is the correct answer to what's up? This made me laugh. What's up? Because I thought about our college roommate, Greg. Because typically you would say, nothing.

Well, I think normal responses to this are, nothing, nothing much. What's up? What about you? Or you say, what's up, what's up? You can, what's up. What about you? Or you say what's up, what's up. You can say what's up back to somebody, you can throw it right back at them. All those would be. I know what you're gonna say.

But literally every time, and Greg wasn't being funny when he did, it was funny, but he wasn't trying to be funny. This was like right when we first started. One of the first things we noticed about Greg when we first met him. Yeah, yeah, you say, what's up, Greg? And Greg says, good. Good, he would say it like that.

What's up, Greg? Good. Good. Good. And he had this like, it was like this carefree kind of bop to it, like his head would bop and his bottom lip would come up. I mean, he was like this carefree kinda bop to it. Like his head would bop and his bottom lip would come up. I mean, he was good, man. Support the upper lip in kind of a smirk.

Good. Yeah, because he was under the impression that that was the- I was gonna say he was under the influence. Not at that time. Of joy, man. He was under the influence. Not at that time. Of joy, man. He was under the impression that this is the correct response to what's up.

And I don't know if we ever talked about it. I don't know 100% that he didn't do it for effect, but we never discussed it. There were a lot of things about Greg that we didn't wanna pull back the curtain. You know? Just let it be Greg. Yeah, it's better to just take it at face value.

Yeah. Just like whenever we talk about studying and he'd say, man, you know what you know, you don't learn anything. Yeah. I'd be like, that sounds like a sound reasoning foundation to not do my homework. And I think, and I've gotten. And you fell for that a lot. that sounds like a sound reasoning foundation to not do my homework.

And I think, and I've got, And you fell for that a lot. I've got many tweets from people who say that they are employing Greg's philosophy. Like they're like, I, I, You know what you know. I sat down to study and then I just remember what Greg said.

I don't think that's great advice if your goal is to make good grades. If your goal is just to enjoy yourself while you're in school and not really use the degree that you're getting, then that's good advice. I'm not using my engineering degree so it worked for me. We did a Rhett and Link cast and we had Greg call in and we had a discussion with Greg.

I don't know if that one's been posted to the Mythical Society. I don't believe it has but I do remember that happening. Okay, that's all the questions. Greg with three Gs, love you man. Took some time on those questions. We'll get to more questions next time we do an episode like this.

Wreck baby wreck baby one two three four. Wreck baby wreck baby one two. Wreck baby wreck baby one. I forgot I had to give a wreck so I'm like. Scrambling. Racking my brain. I was coming home, I was gonna leave for work yesterday and Christy sent me a text.

She was like, you know, we got this, we got a teenager party happening over here. Lily had a bunch of her friends over. And you know, we're trying to be that house where the friends come over and hang out because we think that that way we can be in the mix. We can kind of know, we can have our pulse on what's happening in the friend group.

You can have your finger on the pulse. I don't think you get to have the pulse. Right, right. Christy tells me to keep my distance, not to try to bop and get in there and be cool dad. Yeah, can't do that. Just stay on the fringe. Right. Or be the guy who picks up stuff that they need

and they wanted to roast marshmallows on our fire pit. I was like, you know what, we've been needing to get these. And so I went to the REI and I'm recommending that you go to the REI and get, they got these fancy skewers. I love it when someone has thought about everything associated with something that you could just get a dumb metal version to poke your eye out with.

It's like fully retractable. It's like a pointer. It retracts in and out. Well how much is this? $13. A piece? You get two of them. Well how many did you buy for this group

of 20 kids that were at your house? Well you know me. You probably got four of them. I got two packs which is four total. And I told Lily I was like. So they're doing four at a time and you're sitting around watching each other? Well it's a party, man.

That's part of it. You should have gotten enough skewers for people to pack into your fire pit, which I think 12 people could be in that fire pit. I told Lily. You should have done 12. I was like, when I brought them home, I was like, I think you should.

I was like bragging about it. Look what I got. They're retractable, they got the fork on the end, and look, you can hold the handle and rotate your thumb and it will twist the entire thing for perfect marshmallow roasting. But with these four that I've got, I would recommend that you choose.

You didn't even get enough for your own family. Designated roast. You didn't even get enough for the Neils. They're expensive, man. There's five of you. $12. This is a, what are you gonna do when your family's roasting marshmallows? There's gonna be one odd person out.

Everybody doesn't need to roast. Someone's on like graham cracker duty. Somebody's on chocolate duty. Somebody's an assembler and some people are roasters. I make everybody do all their s'mores. Some people are better roasters than others and if you give everybody roasters, eyes are gonna be poked out.

That's all part of it. Marshmallows are gonna be burnt. One person going through the emergency room is part of your first camping trip. It's a rite of passage. I found an awesome thing and I ain't buying too many. So you're recommending this, but it is pretty as,

I'll add a wreck to the wreck, I think you should get one per family member. Then if I had to do, they're two in a pack, so I would have one extra. That's wasteful. Give it to Jade. Or it's backup for when one breaks. They sound like they got a lot of moving parts.

I'm the designated roaster. Well then you only need one. Two hands, two backups. So is this an official REI brand thing or you just can get it at REI? You just get it at REI. You can't get it at the grocery store, which is where I was gonna go until Jenna told me

to go to Ralph's. This is Jenna's rec. Ralph's? I don't REI. REI. REI. I was gonna go to Ralph's. But you got. She recommended REI.

Did you get the marshmallows at Ralph's? Or did you get marshmallows at REI as well? I didn't get marshmallows. They already had them. You're welcome. Did you get the marshmallows at Ralph's? Or did you get marshmallows at REI as well? I didn't get marshmallows, they already had them. You're welcome. There you go. Home is where the heart is, and your home in your ears is with us.
