Welcome to Ear Biscuits, the podcast
where two lifelong friends talk about life for a long time.
I'm Rhett.
And I'm Link.
This week at the Round Table of Dim Lighting,
we are fielding your pressing questions
and having what is sure to be a fun loving conversation.
Maybe pressing your fielding questions.
You remember Field and Stream, the magazine?
I remember the cover.
I don't, it's not like I ever-
You didn't get it?
Subscribed to it.
I, for some reason, I would get it occasionally.
Really? Yeah.
So you weren't a subscriber,
but you would randomly get it.
I would like buy it off of the shelf.
It was mostly- I don't know why,
cause I was like, I like fields and I like streams.
It's fishing and hunting. Hunting and fishing.
And I did that as a kid.
We're gonna answer questions,
including would we be friends if we met as adults?
How long should you wait before you honk
at someone who's not going in front of you
on a green light? Those are two
different questions.
Oh, but they're very much related.
I don't know how.
Was there a magazine that you would pick up
off of the shelf?
Magazine that I would pick up off of the shelf? Magazine that I would pick up.
Entertainment Weekly.
That was the magazine. As a child?
As a middle schooler and maybe even a high schooler.
You know my brother subscribed to Sports Illustrated.
Oh yeah.
And.
You're gonna talk about the Swim Shoot issue, aren't you?
The Swim Shoot issue.
If you bring up Sports Illustrated.
Yeah, speaking of field extremes.
I remember, I distinctly remember you showing up to school.
I brought it to school?
No, you didn't bring it,
but you brought a report about it.
And not for class, just for me.
I don't know exactly what my parents were.
My brother got the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.
I don't know what year the swimsuit issue came out first.
That's the only one you talked about.
I don't know which one came out first.
I don't know the first year of the swimsuit issue,
but I guess that's irrelevant.
When it first came out, it was illustrated.
Like all the sports were illustrated.
And even the swimsuit issue was illustrated.
Right, so it was like-
Which it doesn't have the same effect.
Yeah, it was basically like a coloring book.
I remember- Which we have one have the same effect. Yeah, it was basically like a coloring book. I remember-
Which we have one of those now, spoiler alert.
Kathy Ireland on it.
She now sells like, you know, like home goods.
Just like a line at Target.
Yeah, the math adds up for that.
Man.
Well, I mean, I don't like, I don't partake
of the swimsuit issue anymore.
You know what I'm saying?
It's like, I'm like aware of it
in the way that you're aware of it on the internet.
And you're like, oh.
It was a big deal.
This woman is on the front.
Everybody knows who's on the front.
But back in the day, it was like,
well, of course I'm gonna spend some time on the front,
but I'm going in and I'm gonna spend way too much time.
Did you take it in secret?
Like did Cole know you were taking it from his room?
Your parents certainly didn't know that he had it.
No, they did because my mom would get the mail.
And I think it was, I mean, again,
I'm just going off of pure conjecture at this point,
but my mom is the one who collected the mail.
And I think that she may have just made the decision,
well, he subscribes to this.
That doesn't seem like,
given the environment and the amount of oversight,
well, maybe oversight's not the right word.
But it was just a woman in a bikini.
You know what I'm saying?
It wasn't porn.
No, but it seems scandalous to us.
Oh yeah. To have it.
Like I wouldn't be caught dead looking at it
in the aisle of the shortstop.
That'd be embarrassing.
Well, there's more embarrassing things than that.
Well, certainly, but I just think that
we had a little bit too much,
I had a little bit too much shame, still do, apparently.
Yeah, that's ding, ding, ding.
Just kidding.
But I mean a lot of- We've all got shame.
A lot of them you could see more
than a bathing suit should show.
Well, I mean, especially back in the day.
Back in the day.
I mean, that's just like everybody,
your teacher wears that kind of bathing suit now.
You know?
On her TikTok account.
Do teachers have TikTok now?
I don't even wanna know.
Yeah, teacher TikTok.
It's a whole section.
Teacher talk.
I took a trip to Joshua Tree.
Look at me, man.
I come back from Zion and then like weeks later.
Back from the desert.
Here I am going back
to another national park desert location.
Did you know that Joshua Tree did not become
a national park until 1994?
Yeah, after the U2 album.
That's when they sent the government over the edge.
Bill Clinton was like,
I've got to get this place taken care of.
We gotta protect this place.
We gotta protect this place, really do.
I had a conversation with Bono.
This is how I had a conversation with Bono.
He finally returned my calls when I said
I was gonna make Joshua Tree in National Park.
So he called me back and Edge was in the background.
What year was that album released?
I don't know.
I am not a U2 fan, you know that.
Our friend Mike took you to a U2 concert.
Yeah, I mean, I respect, you know,
I respect U2.
We have very similar tastes in music.
And I think the reason why we don't like U2
or haven't gotten into U2, it's like,
yeah, it's more about us than it is about U2.
Really?
I think, yeah.
I think it's about U2. It's not about me. It's a little and it is about you too. Really? I think, yeah. I think it's about you too.
It's not about me.
It's a little, you know,
cause just like-
It's a little too rocky for us.
A little too rocky.
A little too rocky.
Yeah.
We like a little more soul.
Even when it gets pensive,
it's still a little too rocky for us.
There's something about that.
And we never reconnected with just pure rock.
Never got into it.
Always felt like it wasn't for us.
It's like rap, yeah.
Country, yeah.
Soul, yeah.
Rock, Southern rock, yeah.
Rock.
Classic rock, yeah.
But like. So classic rock, yeah.
CCR.
But getting into that U2, so I don't know.
Yeah.
I think there's people who would try to,
I'm pretty sure there's a Joshua Tree on the-
On the cover.
People will try to find it.
Yeah, and that's not happening.
You can't because I mean,
you've seen one Joshua Tree, you've seen them all.
Well, they're all different.
It's like a snowflake.
They're just like snowflakes, I know.
But it never snows where Joshua Trees are,
which is the mind blowing thing.
Also not true, I don't think.
You can have some snow at Joshua tree.
It's where two, it's like a high desert
and a lower desert meet.
And these Joshua trees are finicky.
Certain elevation.
And they're very specific.
Cause you know, even when we would like do a off-roading
or overlanding trip, like when we went to Death Valley
for like those three or four nights,
I remember we'd go into this one valley
or like crest this hill.
It was only in one place.
And we were in this like expansive valley
and you lose perspective
when you're driving through Death Valley
about what altitude you're at,
what elevation you're at.
You're not flying, but what elevation you're at, you know?
If you got a good spoiler.
Sometimes you might think,
oh, we've been in this valley for a long time
and then you round another corner and there's just like,
it was just an inlet to a much more huge valley
because everything gets so expensive.
But I remember coming around over one ridge
and all of a sudden it was just Joshua trees everywhere.
And we've been driving for a couple of days
and it was only in this one place, this one altitude,
but Joshua tree's special because there's so many there
at that particular, keep me in say elevation.
Did you go to the, I can't remember the name of it,
but there's a forest of a certain type of cactus
that you can walk through.
No.
And it's like incredibly densely,
like it's the kind of thing that if like you were
playing around and you push your, you know, friend,
they would get a bunch of needles in them.
Like you have to watch where you're walking,
but it's just, I don't-
Did you go there?
Yeah, I've been there twice now. It's just one of- No, but to this particular place you're walking, but it's just- Did you go there? Yeah, I've been there twice now.
It's just one of-
No, but to this particular place you're talking about.
It's one of the stops off of the main road
if you're going through Joshua Tree.
I haven't, but that is a thing.
It's called the So-and-So Forest,
and it's just these cacti- I didn't even see.
That are like this tall.
It's pretty remarkable.
Hmm.
You should have told me that a week ago.
It's the most unlike the rest of Joshua Tree,
but it's not as cool as the rest of Joshua Tree.
So you're not missing much, but it's just unusual.
The thing about Joshua Tree, you're right.
There's basically one paved road
that goes through Joshua Tree.
There's some offshoots, but not many.
It's pretty Disney-esque in that way.
Yeah, and so you'll go to one parking lot
and then you'll take like the loop trail
with whatever rock features are associated with that.
And then you'll get back in the car
and you'll drive to another place.
So we had the kids, it was just a family excursion.
And we stayed in an Airbnb.
We didn't, too many people for a van,
that's a problem I'm having.
You know, I'm still obsessing about this van life
on Instagram, but Insta cramming my family into a van
is a bit much.
We have one too many kids.
What about van life meets trailer life?
So it's a van and you haul a trailer
and the kids are in the trailer,
a windowless trailer behind you.
I mean, Lily's getting today's and she's going,, Lily's getting today, she's going off on her own.
I'm just thinking that she's just not part of the equation.
If I were to get one of these vans, it would be like,
take a kid or two, take a wife or two,
but not take everybody at once.
Okay, yeah, I get it.
I mean, I could take Christy and Jessie is what I'm saying.
Okay, well, Jessie likes to do things on her own.
With me and Christy?
You're saying Jessie likes to do things without you.
She can do whatever she wants, man.
You know what?
We give each other lots of freedom.
Something about your response
rings of a reprimand that you've gotten from Jessie
about something you've talked about.
No, I'm just joking. Okay.
She just, I mean, she went on a solo trip
that she really enjoyed, you know?
Yeah.
So that's kind of our thing now.
We just go on separate trips.
Yeah, you alternate.
Yeah.
Whose weekend is it to be away from the other person?
This is her first.
Just once, you know, just a like maybe annual little trip,
each person gets their,
because I feel like if only one person in the couple is on,
in fact, we were asked this question in the AMA
on the Mythical Society today.
Yeah.
Somebody was asking,
how do I talk my significant other into
me going on a solo trip?
And I was like, I didn't have to worry about that
because Jessie and I were both making the decision
to prioritize a solo trip independently at the same time.
Yeah, so the answer is-
You gotta both be on board.
Get them to go on one first.
And they have to see it as not being about them,
but being about you.
You know, the solo trip- What do you mean?
The solo trip has nothing to do
with me getting away from Jessie.
The solo trip has everything to do
with me having time with myself
and her having time with herself
so we can come back and be better people in general,
which benefits the other person and the rest of the family.
How's that going, by the way?
The benefiting of the other people?
No, are you a better person?
Is it worn off?
I would say, you know, I think you take,
it's Paula Abdul, I think I Paula Abdul'd it.
One step forward, two steps back?
I thought it was two steps forward and one step back.
She say one step forward and two steps back?
Two steps forward, two steps,
I think it's two and two now that I, I don't know.
Well then what the hell is Paula doing?
Opposites attract.
She's taking two steps forward
and then the person's taking two steps back.
It ain't fiction, it's a natural fact.
Two step forward.
So she wasn't even talking about the same thing
that I'm talking about.
I'm talking about making forward progress
and then regressing and then being like,
oh, I feel like I'm in a better place in some respects.
So not like Paula Abdul,
like a song that I can't come up with right now
in which I, I'm glad you asked the question
because I talked to my therapist
right when I got back from the trip.
And what we talked about was
how you take this moment that you had
and then entering back into normal life,
it seemed normal life wants to undo everything.
It wants to drag you back into its normalcy
and your routines and your habits
and the way that you see the world by default.
And so that has been a struggle
because it's been weeks now since I got back.
So, but I expected that.
I didn't go in thinking that I was gonna come back
a completely different person.
I was like, this is about the journey, man.
It's about incremental change in the right direction.
That's all I can hope for.
The thing that I did, I mean, it wasn't a solo trip,
but the trip with Christy was very special
when we went to Utah.
I came back and I was actually talking
to my therapist about it.
And then one of the things that he said was,
he suggested that I make a photo album.
Oh, scrapbook.
Yeah, well, all my photos are in Google Photos.
Did he use the term scrapbook?
No, I just put them into a, you know,
you can order a hard or soft bag, Apple did it first.
Always go hard.
And now Google does it and I went hard.
Yeah.
And I surprised Christy with it just so we could,
you know, we could have something physical
where it's like memorialize the occasion
and I put some funny captions in there,
like on that one campsite, it was like,
you selling hot dogs?
That kind of thing.
That brings back the right kind of memories.
I don't think we would have forgotten that.
But side note, Google Photos books suck ass.
Compared to Apple's? Compared to Apple.
And so I would, next time I would download,
they altered all of my photos.
They like tried to enhance them.
Google did? Yeah.
Google's trying to like saturate my photos.
My photos are the way I want my photos.
Like don't apply some general saturation
to everything that you're printing to where it's like.
If anything, you need to desaturate.
Just leave it.
I took the picture. If I wanted to edit it, I would have done that.
I'm not a dummy.
And I'm pretty sure that next time
I'm just gonna download them all from Google
and I'm gonna upload them to Apple just to do that,
even though I don't keep my stuff.
I have a Mac.
I use Google Photos.
Now you run into a problem here.
But I'll tell you this one story
from going to Joshua Tree.
We got an Airbnb, it was this place,
it was a 30 minute drive from the entrance to Joshua Tree,
like north of a place called Pioneer Town,
which they filmed some stuff there.
They have like a makeshift Western town
and I think Ice Cube shot a music video there.
How does that add up?
I don't know.
Anyway, so we're out there and you know,
the booklet for the Airbnb,
they just tell you what to do and what not to do.
And if you bring a dog,
you better put them on a sheet on the couch
and that kind of stuff. And they you bring a dog, you better put them on a sheet on the couch and that kind of stuff.
And they said, out of respect for our neighbors,
and this house was in the middle of like this desert valley.
We arrived at night and I couldn't tell
if there were any other houses around
for reasons I'll get into, but they weren't that close.
It was like the neighbors weren't that close.
The next morning I could tell.
And the reason why is because of what they said
in the booklet, out of respect for the neighbors,
only use outside lighting when absolutely necessary.
And then turn off your lights so that it decreases
light pollution to help with stargazing.
People are out here in the desert to see the stars.
And I'm real tuned into that
ever since the last trip, you know?
And it was a big selling point.
They had a hot tub out there in the middle of the backyard.
Oh, nice.
And then you get in the hot tub
and you just lean back and you look at this expansive sky
and see what I schooled Lily on was the Milky Way.
So like that first night, I mean, they had flashlights
so that, cause you can't turn the lights off
once you get in the hot tub,
you gotta turn them off from the house
and then like walk out and try not to trip on the Joshua tree
and the cacti and the rocks and stuff.
And so you're using your flashlight,
you're getting out there and we turn off the lights
in the hot tub too.
So like it's very black.
And we're looking up at the stars,
boy, we're having a good old time.
And all of a sudden Lando goes, oh, we're like, what?
He was like, I just tasted something.
It tasted like sausage.
And I said, and we all were like, what?
And Lando is the type that like,
Lando is a very reactionary kid.
Wouldn't you say?
Yes.
You know, he's particular about things.
He's a bit queer, kind of like me, meaning that he's,
well, I don't want to have to re-explain what that means,
but it just means particular.
So we didn't want to say,
there is no sausage floating in this pool.
He had apparently, he had put his mouth down
at the surface level of the water and he got something in his mouth and he said- I thought he had apparently, he had put his mouth down at the surface level of the water
and he got something in his mouth and he said-
I thought he had like burped
and was tasting dinner again.
No, we had not had sausage that night or the day before.
He had put his mouth down at the water
and gotten something in his mouth
that he said tasted like sausage.
And we didn't wanna alarm him.
But from before I had turned the light off,
I was the first one out there with Lincoln
and Lincoln was like,
you need to get these bugs out of the hot tub.
And I didn't want to tell him that I was pretty sure
cause I didn't get the bugs out.
There's only two of them.
Now there's only one of them.
I didn't want wanna tell him,
dude, I think you ate a bug or worse.
I mean, so as far as I know, as far as he knows,
he ate a sausage because the way that he said it,
he said, I just, mm, I just got something in my mouth
that tastes like sausage.
I could tell by the way he said it-
It was probably a moth.
That he did eat it.
It was probably a moth.
He chewed it up. I could imagine.
Tasted it, experienced the sensation of sausage.
Why would he chew it?
And then I think, I don't know.
I think he just got it in his mouth.
And then.
I think it came in with a gulp of water or something.
Well, I think he swallowed it and he didn't,
and he was like, hmm.
He said it in a way that was like, hmm, that taste,
I just got something in my mouth.
Is this sausage water?
Is there sausage water in this hot tub?
So I'm telling you more than I'm telling him,
but he ate something that I'm afraid is not sausage.
You haven't talked to him about it?
No.
Even like days later?
We would make fun of like,
it's like, man, this tastes like sausage
for a lot of things for the rest of the weekend.
And he didn't put it together.
So mission accomplished, he never freaked out,
but I do not know exactly what he ate.
It was definitely a bug.
Cause I can, having eaten lots of bugs.
A soggy sausage like bug.
I can imagine, and especially an uncooked bug.
At least, I mean, I guess it's like parboiled
because it's in the-
A lot of chemicals in there.
It's in the hot tub, but yeah, I could totally, it's got a little spice to it's in the hot tub.
Yeah, I could totally, it's got a little spice to it
and you can't quite reconcile, so you just go with sausage.
I get it.
Well, I'll tell him next time I see him.
Oh my God.
I was just glad he didn't freak out.
Yeah, because if you had told him
that he just ate a bug, it may have ruined your night.
Ruined the evening, yeah.
It wouldn't have been about the stars anymore.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay, let's start with- What do you want to do?
With a question from Cain's cab driver.
Bud Ice, y'all.
At Bud Ice, y'all.
What's the proper amount of time to honk
as somebody when the light turns green and they don't go?
I give them a five second courtesy,
but my wife gives them three seconds.
Oh, but they're both tiny.
Now, I can't say that I have an immediate answer.
I'm gonna have to arrive at something
because they've talked about it
and are like in a constant count.
I just can't live that way.
I go on feel.
Yeah, you go on feel.
You go on feel.
I think it's, yeah, cause I mean,
if you're gonna do a count,
then you're obligating yourself to do a count every time.
And then most of the time you're wasting all this energy
counting on someone who's gonna go
before you get to three seconds.
Certainly before, I mean, if it's two seconds,
you're not gonna honk,
but that's two seconds of counting in order to,
I just don't like the spirit of counting,
believing that someone's not gonna go.
That's believing the worst in somebody.
I like to believe the best in people.
So philosophically, I don't like this.
And I also don't like it practically
because I'm sitting there counting
when I should be focused on driving.
But in any given 10 scenarios where this happened, 10 times,
and let's just say the person doesn't go
and it's in the first three to five seconds, whatever,
how many times are you going to beep?
Okay, let's say somebody goes five seconds,
just based on your experience, 10 times,
how many times will you beep in that scenario?
I'm saying beep, honk, whatever your term is.
First of all, I do think, I think three is too short.
I think five is courteous, but I'm actually adding
a check into the cab.
If I can see that they're looking down at something,
probably their phone.
That's the only thing I go on.
Then it's, so it's five seconds,
like waiting long enough at a green light
to make me look in the cab and determine
that they're not looking at the light
is however long that takes, that's when I'm honking.
When I feel like they need me to honk is when I honk.
You know what I'm saying?
Like at that point, it's not that I'm giving you a courtesy
by waiting to honk, I'm giving you a courtesy by honking
because I'm saying, hey bro, the light turned green.
I don't hate you.
How's your new car? It's just,
we're all in this together.
For like the friendly tap honk when you're just like,
boop, boop, boop.
How's your new car do with that?
Have you done the friendly tap honk?
I typically only do the,
I can't remember the last time I did
the lay on the horn thing.
I did one coming back from Joshua Tree.
Really?
Yeah, there was some merging situation
and I knew from my GPS that we were about
to hit some traffic.
And somebody's just, you know, I'm slowing down
and then all of a sudden, I'm barreling in there,
like getting in between me and the guy in front of me,
even though there's a line of like, you know,
five miles of bumper to bumper traffic,
it made that much of a difference to get in front of me
instead of behind me.
I'm a pretty- And I laid on the,
and it was this long.
Hunk!
That long.
That's pretty offensive.
I'm a pretty reluctant honker because I feel like
the vast majority of honks that people hear are not intended for them
and freak them out because that's what happens to me
all the time.
It's like, who, are you honking at me?
And then I'm like, oh, they weren't honking at me.
But like, I'm not paying attention to driving.
I'm thinking about who honked at me.
I'm wondering how many accidents
are a result of an errant honk.
So I don't hardly, I never do the laying on the horn
unless, I mean, I'm not saying I've never done it,
but I have to be like, this person just did something
that endangered my life or someone else's life
and at that point, I'm gonna honk.
I think I felt that.
Cutting in front of me, it's like, you may piss me off,
but I try not to get too worked up about that.
But I haven't, but the other reason I'm a little bit
reluctant to honk with the new car is that
it has this feature where you-
That's the gas too.
You can hook up an external hard drive to the car.
What?
And it will capture your dash cam footage.
And every time you honk, it records the last 10 minutes
are automatically put onto the hard drive.
So the- Every time you honk.
So the idea is,
if you were about to be in an accident
and you honk the horn,
well, or if you just, something just happened,
you can honk the horn, you're not thinking straight.
You don't have to like go into the menu and hit record.
You just honk the horn.
And that takes the last 10 minutes of action
that the dash cam has captured
and puts it onto the hard drive.
Because why not?
I mean, who knows?
Somebody cut in front of you,
you're in an accident, insurance stuff, whatever.
But because I'm adding like footage
to a hard drive when I honk.
Oh, you don't like it.
It's like this extra thing to consider.
Like, do I want to record this?
The car doesn't get heavier.
No, I know.
I mean, it's like a-
Oh my God, the car is going slower.
It's like a 500 gig hard drive.
It's not that big of a deal, but it feels like I'm making,
it's like the fact that.
It seems like something I would think.
You will.
I'm surprised that you think that.
You won't run the air conditioning on high
because you think it's gonna break the air conditioning.
Like you told me that one time.
Don't put it on high now.
It's not made to go on high.
The max AC button.
You don't like max AC?
Yeah.
I'll do max AC all day long.
Yeah.
But the beeping of the horn to record the things.
You've created a file.
Yeah, I don't want to create a file
unless it's absolutely necessary.
Well, it's like when you hand your phone to somebody
to take a picture.
Again, while we're doing the park thing,
and you know, like one family member's taking the picture
and I'm like, hey, just frame it up, decide,
and then take one or two.
One or two, huh?
Don't take five or 10 because,
and when they hand it back, what's the first thing I do?
I look at what you got and I delete the four to nine
that I don't like.
That's what the live photo feature on iPhone's for though.
I've got that setting on my default.
So if somebody blinked, I can just, it's still one file.
I could just go back to where they didn't blink.
But then if you hand your phone to somebody,
they don't know that that's on
and then they're taking more photos
and then you got, that bothers me.
You don't like burst mode, I assume.
Oh God, I hate burst mode.
Okay, so we're agreeing.
We don't think that there's a time limit.
We think you should go on feel
and sort of like take into account the environment on this.
But three seconds is too short.
Your wife is jumping the gun.
I feel confident in that.
Your car also has a dog mode.
Yeah. So Tesla has a dog mode.
Have you tried dog mode?
Put Barbara in the car?
What does that do by the way?
When you put the car into dog mode,
you can leave your dog in the car.
And tell it where to go.
Like go to Ralph's, give me some half and half.
It will, this is a parked car, not a moving car.
You leave your dog in a parked car.
It does two things.
The first thing it does is it keeps the ambient temperature
in the cabin something that won't kill your dog.
And the second thing it does is it,
when somebody comes up to your car,
it senses that somebody's at your car
and it puts a message on the giant display in the middle
that says, I'm okay, my owner will be right back.
So in other words, don't call the pet cops.
I'm fine.
I bet you people who care enough to call
won't believe that sign.
But you can kind of hear that the car is on when a dog's in there that sign. I think there's a-
But you can kind of hear that the car is on
when a dog's in there.
Yeah. I mean, I haven't done it.
First of all, your car runs all the time.
Well, only if you put it in that mode.
Like if I go out to the parking lot,
your car is like running.
Only if it's in, it has a special feature
where if the cabin gets too hot, it'll cool it down.
That's cool.
But it was so hot one day in the middle of the summer.
Oh yeah.
That it burned like 60 miles off the battery
just to keep it from being like 180 degrees.
So you deactivated that.
Yeah.
So you haven't done dog mode
and there's a sign that comes up that says,
don't, just stay out of my business.
My dog is fine.
This is the Tesla.
Yeah, my owner is coming back.
I haven't used it.
We've never-
Cause dog lovers-
We don't really leave-
Dog lovers will, they'll get in that business.
And I guess rightfully so because people-
We don't leave Barbara in the car.
We take Barbara in the car if we're going someplace
that Barbara is supposed to get out with us.
Yeah.
We don't just like, she's not an accessory
that we just like throw in the car
and then go into a grocery store or something like that.
Yeah.
So we really haven't had an occasion to use it.
And also the people who come up to your car,
they're being recorded.
This is a cool feature.
I'm sure this is available in other cars,
but the reason that there's a hard drive that you can attach to the car
is that you put it in sentry mode.
I'm not trying to do an ad for Tesla at this point,
but it kind of is turning into that.
But you put it in a sentry mode, and what that does
is it, anybody who like comes up to your car,
opens their door into your door, it records them
and then puts that on the hard drive.
So if you're like, who busted this dent in my car?
Oh, this guy in this car with this license plate.
See, I'm a fan of having cameras everywhere.
Like, you know, Big brother.
That was my favorite thing about London.
I mean, when we got in traffic and all of a sudden,
Chrissy, I was like, Chrissy,
what are you looking at on your phone?
She was like, well, I felt like I left the oven on at home
and I'm looking back at our camera.
To see if it's burning.
Cause I got a camera in our kitchen.
But you probably can't tell.
I don't know why.
It is a heat sensing camera
cause it's not gonna be able to tell if the oven's on.
No, she said, okay, I'm going back here.
Here I am turning the oven.
She's gonna go back.
Getting the stuff out of the oven.
And then she could actually zoom in
and the way the camera set up it,
she could zoom in enough on the oven
to see that it turned off.
Oh, wow. Yeah.
HD, huh?
It's got an oven cam.
What was the last thing that filled you with wonder
that took you away from your desk or your car in traffic?
Well, for us, and I'm gonna 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 it's a weekly news show with the best celebrity guests and hot takes galore
so join us every friday wherever you get your podcasts and watch full video episodes on Crunchyroll
or on the Crunchyroll YouTube channel.
Okay, I'm very interested in this question from Omni Draws.
If you both didn't know each other
and saw each other for the first time in life,
then would you talk with each other
or even enjoy each other?
You both aren't YouTubers, just two regular guys.
Okay, we're just two regular guys, we're not YouTubers.
Well, first of all, as Kiko pointed out,
this is Buddy System season two.
This is the premise for the season.
If you haven't watched Buddy System, check it out.
There's a song in every episode.
And you can watch it for free now.
There's us acting.
You can watch it all for free. It's all acting. Yeah. You can watch it all for free.
It's all free on YouTube. It's all free.
So Buddy System season two has nothing to do with season one.
If you don't like season one, season two is better
and you don't need to have watched season one
or to have liked season one to like season two.
Correct.
Man, so we meet for the first time.
Here's how I evaluate this, right?
But I don't know.
On paper, there's a lot that would be working in our favor
to be friends, assuming, okay, both from the South,
similar music taste, things that are just true about us
that they may be true about us because we grew up together,
but just assuming in the same way that on that episode
of GMM where we like pictured the same color when we smelled,
we have a lot in common in that way,
but there's a balancing factor, and that is,
me and you both have a tendency
to kind of come into a social scene,
and I'm not talking about like a industry party.
We did a whole episode on that about how you kind of are,
I'm gonna go up to people and talk to them
and I kind of like, you go do that.
But in a like a friend of friends type party situation,
I kind of feel like I bring a little bit too much
of a critical eye into those situations
where I'm not like, I don't go into those situations
thinking everyone here is a potential friend.
Do you know what I'm saying?
Well, I kind of feel like based on the conversations
that we've had, like after we've gone to places together
that you approach things in a similar way.
Yeah, I think I do.
I think there's a couple of factors here.
It's hard to remove the fact that like,
we have such a strong friendship
that whenever we enter those situations
and evaluate why we're acting the way we're acting,
one factor is we don't have a strong felt need
to make friends with people.
I mean, we're busy and we have each other.
I mean, and we each have other friends.
We share a bunch of friends.
And then, you know, there's some that's like,
okay, maybe you have more of a connection
to this person than me or vice versa.
But then it's like, so there's not really a felt need
beyond that to keep adding people.
Because the second thing is neither one of us
at this phase of our life are extroverts.
We're both more introverted.
And I also, I actually think we feel,
we may feel more introverted than we actually are
because of the previous reason.
You know, it's, I do get energized by talking to the people
that like I enjoy being around
and like the friends that I'm closest with.
And you know, I miss your game night since COVID
that like, because that was a place where
like our larger circle of friends, we would hang out
and like, I'm missing that.
like our larger circle of friends, we would hang out and like, I'm missing that.
But if you, again, you take COVID out of the situation too,
I'm just not looking to make new friends at all.
Right.
But if you-
But let's remove that.
If you remove all of that,
I think we might sense what might be like,
oh, I could be friends with this guy
that we could pick up on some of the things
you're talking about.
Like, oh, I got a similar, like,
I think we have a similar vibe, right?
Like if we still have like our looks about us
and our wits about us.
And I don't think it's a friend making vibe.
That's my premise.
I think it might backfire.
I think it might be the type of thing that's like,
okay, we're operating in a similar circle.
This like- Very self-aware.
It's like this is,
this, what's the saying?
It's not too many cooks in the kitchen,
but kind of like that.
It's like this room isn't,
this town isn't big enough for the both of us.
I think it's what we might sense.
So it's just like, I'm not gonna talk to that guy.
I feel like that, you know what?
I feel like my mentality on that has changed a little bit.
Okay, so just think about this with taking North Carolina
and then taking Los Angeles and contrasting the two.
So Los Angeles is filled with people
who think they're the shit, right?
And in a lot of ways may have been the shit
at some point in their life where they live somewhere else
and then they move to Los Angeles.
You got all these ambitious people
who kind of consider themselves,
they have a disposition to be famous,
which already makes you a certain kind of person.
Yeah.
Now again, whether we like it or not,
we both have a disposition to want to be well known, right?
It's one of the reasons that we do what we do.
And that's a certain kind of person.
Is this what I'm supposed to say, speak for yourself?
Yeah.
And I think that it's almost,
if we met in North Carolina,
and I don't think we bring that kind of energy into a room.
You don't bring that kind of energy,
I don't bring that kind of energy.
In fact, I kinda don't want people to know
what it is I do or my back,
I kinda prefer entering into a conversation
with people not knowing the deal, right?
Like, okay, yeah, I have a YouTube thing
and now I have to explain it or whatever.
So I don't bring that kind of energy,
but I have changed the way I feel about that.
Like I kind of look beyond that
because sometimes you would like go to a party
and there's somebody who's like a huge personality
and they're like, all of a sudden,
there's a crowd around them.
I try not to get intimidated or turned off by that
because I feel like it can happen really easily
in Los Angeles.
But you wouldn't do that.
You wouldn't be like that.
And I don't think I would be like that.
So I don't necessarily think-
Yeah, I think we would both be quieter.
I think it would be the type of thing where it's like,
that guy looks interesting and he's not being loud.
But-
So I think I would strike up a conversation
with this tall guy who needs to be groomed.
But you might not know, okay,
because I get this a lot.
My wife, people who are friends with my wife,
my wife is like, she can make friends
with like a can of beans, right?
Like she's bubbly and she is super like honest
and like vulnerable with people, right, when she meets them.
And so like us being in a relationship,
like we have a way of making friends with people
because people are gonna really gravitate towards my wife
and she's gonna seem open
and she's great at talking to people, right?
So are you saying that you get people's first impression
of you through her relaying it?
No, what I'm saying is that in contrast to her,
a lot of times people who are her friends will say,
I thought that Rhett didn't like me.
That's what I'm saying.
For the first year that you were friends.
Yeah, maybe you didn't.
And again, I'm not trying to step into this,
but I feel like I don't consider either of us
a particularly warm person upon first meeting
in a way that our wives I I think, are both more warm.
Yeah.
So sometimes it can be interpreted the wrong way
and you might be like, this guy doesn't like me.
Because in that type of setting, I'm just not,
again, I go back to the motivation,
I'm just not motivated to do the work
because it's work to connect with somebody
and it's a big risk.
I just think, you know,
it's a lot of work to get to know somebody.
And then you may not connect.
Then you're just starting over.
It's kind of like every time you get to a light
that turns green, you start counting.
You know, it's like, that's a lot of work to count.
But I believe in the end, the thing that,
when we get to know new people,
I feel like the thing that, for better or for worse,
the thing that I'm looking for is,
I'm not looking for it,
but I'm kind of looking to not be annoyed by the person.
Right?
And if all of a sudden it's like,
oh, there's a personality thing about them
or the way that they're presenting themselves
that I could see that getting old quick.
And I think this is probably,
this isn't a super conscious process,
but I think that's what's happening
as you get to know people.
And I think that as different as we are,
and again, this is probably
because we've known each other forever
and we've molded each other in a certain way,
but assuming that we would essentially
be the same person apart,
I think that in a normal conversation,
we would not annoy each other.
No.
And so, and I actually think that that-
I think the end of our first conversation
would not be that far from
any conversation that we would have.
But neither of us are instigators when it comes to like,
hey, do you wanna go play golf?
Like what guys ask each other,
basically when guys wanna be friends
and they wanna be friends with each other
and not friends as couples, a lot of times-
What are you gonna do?
Your significant other, in my case,
Jesse will be the one who's like coordinates the next time
that the couples get together.
And it's like, well, do you like him and do you like her?
But if it's just two guys,
and then like what would step two be?
Like, let's get together and play pool.
You know, it's like, neither one of us have that in our like bag of tricks.
Like, and again, we're super busy.
I think a lot of times we'll be like,
hey, let's get together and talk about this idea.
Well, we'll do it.
It's like a project based thing,
but we just don't hang that much.
What you said at the beginning was something about,
we like the same type of music,
like the things that I did,
what would be the opening conversation?
First of all, I do think that I would probably,
you know, be like, hey, I got, I'm in a good mood,
I'm at this place, I'm gonna talk to somebody,
but who am I gonna talk to?
I need, you know, what maximizes my chances
in conversation to like connect with somebody.
So I will look for somebody who looks a little interesting
and it's like, okay, this, you know,
that is the thing that I've enjoyed about LA
is like you can go to some get together
and there's all these people that like,
you can judge them on the surface
and think that like that person looks weird or interesting.
Well, everybody has taken more than the average amount
of time to present themselves in a certain way.
Like people have honed, honed,
people have honed their way that they present themselves.
And again, nothing against North Carolina
and it might make people,
it might mean people are more sane
but like, I mean, especially where we come from,
you go to a party, it's like all the dudes are gonna be
like kind of dressed in a similar,
like they're gonna be on the same part of the spectrum.
Sexual spectrum.
Not talking about that.
I'm talking about the clothing spectrum.
It's like all these guys went to the same section
of the mall.
All these guys go to the same kind of barber.
You know what I'm saying?
Because it's not a town of-
People are showing off.
Or, I'm gonna be benevolent here,
expressing themselves, you know, visually.
Anyway. There's just not as much.
I think what would happen is
I would initiate a conversation.
I'd be like, I just don't know what I would say.
You mentioned music.
If music was playing,
I'd probably say something about the music.
I hate rock.
What about you?
Is this you too?
I'm not really into this. Oh, you too.
Yeah, I respect him, but I would like a little more soul.
You been to Joshua Tree?
Yeah, you know, Joshua Trees only grow
at certain elevations, yeah.
And sometimes people try to find the one
from that U2 album.
But then it wouldn't be like,
"'Hey, let's get together and listen to music.'"
You gotta be a close friend to say that.
This is the most interesting question for me.
And you end up talking about what's the next step
in our relationship in this world that we-
Right, right, because then it's like,
here's what we would, the easiest things to talk about,
first of all, it's like, what do you do for a living?
And we've already ruled that out, we can't talk about that.
So we might talk about music,
you end up talking about shows you're watching.
I think we'd have a great conversation.
About shows.
And then we would never talk again.
I'm beginning to form a picture of what this,
it would be like, yeah, I remember that Link guy,
met at that party, like really interesting conversation.
Like I wonder what he's up to, but I'm not gonna,
I didn't get his number, I'm not gonna call him.
And what would I do if I called him?
He didn't wanna go play golf with me. Right. And you know, we're not gonna call him. And what would I do if I called him? He didn't wanna go play golf with me.
Right.
And we're not gonna sit down and just have coffee.
You know what I'm saying?
I really think, I guess what it is,
I don't know what it's like to be-
Sitting down and having coffee could work,
but that is a vulnerable move.
I mean, that's asking a guy out on a date.
Right.
It's like, hey, you wanna meet up for coffee?
This is a question, hashtag Ear Biscuits
for everybody listening because as guys who've been married
to the same women for two decades, who grew up together,
who have a pretty solid friend group,
like I don't, there hasn't been,
outside of like work-related stuff, there just hasn't been outside of like work related stuff.
There just hasn't been many of us like,
what's the next step in a platonic relationship
with somebody after you get,
it's like, I feel like I'm asking a fundamental question
because I don't have to worry about it.
And I know that a lot of people,
we feel to so many questions over the years,
you talk about friendship,
a lot of people ask that question to us.
Like, do you have any advice for making friends?
It's like, I think what we're saying is it's never easy,
but you've, you know, you're in a social situation
and then you just find somebody that you size up
that you feel like is kind of like you, you know,
unless you've really made a decision
to find someone who you just by judging them externally,
that they're not like you, that's a sad thing.
Well, I think I would say
you're looking for a point of connection.
Point of connection.
When you say like you,
there's some kind of point of connection.
Doesn't necessarily mean this person looks like you
or is from your background.
Yeah, like if they're making the same face,
like they're judging this get together as much as I am.
Yeah.
I'm gonna go stand beside them and judge it too.
Yeah, I don't know what we learned about each other
in exploring that question, but it was-
I think you said we'd be ships passing in the night.
We'd have a great conversation,
but it would take something that I can't.
It would take our wives exchanging numbers.
To become friends.
Yeah. Yeah, sadly.
So we don't have to worry about that because we are friends.
But you know what?
If I needed, if I had a felt need for a friend,
I would, I'd be like,
I'd probably say something awkward like,
hey man, I really like you.
Let's hang out.
Listen, I think I would be-
I really don't, I don't have any close friends here.
I think I would be ready to admit that too.
If you have close friends,
maybe you can introduce me to them.
Maybe I like them better than I like you.
Can I use you as a way to meet your friends?
I'm just joking.
Can we get coffee?
That's exactly what I would say.
Right.
It would be a self-deprecating, vulnerable exchange.
Yeah.
Tearless.
I definitely would not, if I wanted friends,
I wouldn't let that situation happen.
I'd be like, hey, you know what?
Cause I mean, I guess there have been times in my life
when I've met somebody that I connected with
and I was like, let me get your number.
I don't know if I've, yeah.
You're thinking of an instance?
I could say I've done that like three to five times
in my life. I was thinking of like
our mutual friends from like game night
and it's like somebody like Ward,
that's somebody that we knew,
we met through YouTube years ago.
And then when we moved out here, we reconnected.
Right.
And then you think about Daniel, it's like, okay,
he was our director on Commercial Kings.
We were introduced through work and then we just,
you know, we don't talk all the time, but we keep in touch.
Meaning that the scenario that we're talking about
where you just meet at a party,
isn't how we really made any of our friends.
It's like, it was a circumstance in which we were,
it was work related and then we just had a connection.
We were like, oh, this is deeper
than just a work relationship.
This is a friend.
And then you just kind of lean into that.
And it's still hard.
Especially now.
Well, yeah, especially now.
But like when you institutionalize the game night thing,
that helped because every month there was a, you know.
It shall happen again.
Even if you miss a couple,
you kind of know you can get back in there.
And there's a few other friends,
but it's not like, there's not that many.
You can only have so many friends, you know.
Especially now when,
like we've done a couple of like Zoom double date type things
with a few of those friends.
And then like we'd done a couple of like triple dates
with like us and the McCargs or whatever.
And that was happening with more regularity
at the beginning of COVID.
Yeah.
And now people are just kind of like,
we're just gonna, and it's funny.
I know that it-
It's fizzled out.
It depends on what part of the country you're in
and where you're at.
Again, to continue the contrast with LA and North Carolina,
but I know back in North Carolina,
things are very different from at least in terms
of the way that my family is communicating to me
about the way that their lives are different,
but not that different.
Whereas here in California, in Los Angeles, especially,
like things are still pretty much the same
as they were five months ago.
So we're not seeing, like if we're gonna see somebody like that,
it'd be like, hey, let's all come over
and hang out outside.
But we haven't even done much of that.
Because then it's like, okay,
there's gonna be masks involved and it's kind of annoying.
Yeah.
And you're in this place where you're just not
that motivated to make things happen.
Well, and the thing, I think what I'm thinking right now
is for someone who had just moved,
and this is probably the situation for lots of people,
if you just moved to a new place.
It's horrible.
In the midst of this,
and you are the kind of person who is taking it seriously
and trying to maintain social distancing and masks
and stuff like that,
your ability to make new friends
is really impeded right now.
Wow.
Something else we haven't had to worry about.
You know what, it'll be over at some point.
That's all I can say.
I can also ask another question.
Autumn.
Hit this one right quick,
because I want to address this.
We don't have to spend too much time on it.
Skylar Bradford has tweeted at Mythical,
but this is for me.
As a Utah resident, I can't get over how Link was saying
Zion in your latest podcast.
It cracked me up.
It's Zion to the locals.
That's been on my mind for a few days.
Zion.
Zion.
Zion.
Zion.
Zion.
Zion.
We like to hit the second syllable, man.
Yeah.
It is a little bit of a Southern, Zion.
It's not always a second syllable
because we would say unique, not unique.
That's true, yeah. Unique. We pick a syllable and we go hard. we would say unique, not unique.
That's true, yeah. Unique.
We pick a syllable and we go hard.
Yeah, on the wrong one sometimes.
Taco Bell.
The reason why I say Zion is because
in the Lauryn Hill song, she says Zion.
Yeah, Mount Zion.
Zion, Zion is just, that's a local thing,
but Zion means a whole lot more, not just for Mormons.
Zion's not just for Mormons anymore.
Well, you're saying that because it's in Utah.
Yeah, the Mormons named it Zion.
Right, but Zion is in the Bible as well.
Yeah, I know, I was just saying.
Which means it's probably in the Book of Mormon as well.
I don't know. I don just saying. Which means it's probably in the Book of Mormon as well. I don't know.
I don't know the full origin story.
I know there's a lot of stuff from the Bible
in the Book of Mormon though, right?
The Mormons named everything in the park.
Really?
Yeah.
I think the indigenous peoples probably also had names
for everything.
Matter of fact, I know they did.
Right.
But you know, let's not get into that.
Zion. I'll try, man.
Skylar, I will try.
For you, I will try.
Zion.
Zion.
Not Zion. You going to Zion?
Zion. You going to Zion?
Zion. Yeah, I'm on my way.
I'm a local.
Okay, science question that intrigued me.
This is from Autumn7Autumn5 on Twitter.
Why does warm water feel so much better than warm air?
A really hot shower is awesome,
but if I were in a 100 degree room, I'd be uncomfortable.
It's a great question.
So I looked up just to make sure
that the way I was thinking about this,
and I didn't have it,
I didn't completely understand what was going on.
I think a good place to start is,
let's start with a lower temperature.
So if you're outside and it's 70, well,
70 degrees is the approximate temperature
at which a human feels comfortable in the air, right?
If the air is 70 degrees,
it's like most people feel pretty comfortable.
And that is based on the idea that your body
is doing all these different metabolic processes
that is generating heat and you're dissipating the heat
through a number of processes,
like the blood flowing close to the surface of your skin.
So you kind of give off a little bit of heat,
you're breathing and there's hot air
that's coming out of you and or you're sweating,
you're perspiring and so you're cooling yourself down.
Don't forget the gold standard.
Farting.
Farting releases a lot of methane, as they say,
across the pond and heat.
So it turns out that the reason you feel comfortable
at 70 degrees in the air.
It's like a blow torch down there.
Is because all these things that are happening
in your body is in a good state of equilibrium.
Well, it's not- At about 70 degrees.
It's actually cooling.
There is a gradient, not an equilibrium.
Well, no, when I say equilibrium,
I mean, I'm talking about the process
of you dissipating heat.
Is it a place where your body is doing it most efficiently
and you're not having to do it too little or too much?
You're not having to reserve the heat
and you're also not having to cool it too little or too much. You're not having to reserve the heat and you're also not having to cool yourself down
and make yourself uncomfortable.
The body is doing this in the most efficient manner.
The rate of cooling.
Is what makes you feel good.
Makes you feel good.
Because if it gets cooler, if it gets down to 65,
you start to, it starts to suck heat out of your body
to a point where.
Now you gotta put clothes on.
Okay, yeah, now.
I gotta do something to alter this.
I'm getting signals that I'm uncomfortable
because this could lead to, if this continues forever-
I could die. I could die.
Or if it gets too hot, it's like,
oh, well, we really gotta sweat.
We really, we gotta breathe harder.
We got, so, and that makes you feel uncomfortable.
But you know that if you're in ocean water,
that's, or water, and that's 70 degrees,
it's gonna be cold. Ooh, that's 70 degrees, you can be like,
ooh, that's cold. It's too cold.
So what exactly is happening?
And it all comes down to the heat transfer.
That's right, everything we said should apply
to 70 degree water.
No, and it turns out that water feels perfect
at 93.5 degrees.
That is the- Seriously?
That is the temperature that most
sensory deprivation tanks are set at.
They set it at that temperature
because your skin doesn't sense the presence of water
because it's, well, for whatever reason,
you are basically in that same sort of state of equilibrium
at 93 and a half degrees in water.
But of course, if it was 93.5 degrees outside,
it would be hot.
So what's happening is the heat transfer coefficient
of water is 50 times greater than that of air.
So basically what's happening is you got this body
that's operating at 98.6 degrees on average
and generating this heat and it's releasing this heat.
And as soon as you get into 70 degrees of water,
it's sucking out 50 times as efficiently.
And so that's why you immediately feel cold.
And if you stayed in that 70 degree water
for any good length of time, you get hypothermia.
But let's go up to the question that was asked,
which is a hundred degrees.
So here's the thing.
If you get into a 100 degree hot tub,
if it's 100 degrees outside, it ain't gonna feel good.
You're gonna get in there
and you're gonna be immediately hot.
And usually what happens is you get into a 100 degree hot tub
and it's like less than that outside.
But what do you do?
Do you get into a hot tub and go under and stay under?
Then you get in and you're like, it's getting kind of hot.
I gotta get my arms out.
I gotta get my head out of the water.
And so your arms and your head are dissipating heat
into the ambient air, which is what, 70 degrees
or whatever it happens to be outside.
It's really nice when it's like 45 degrees outside
and you just skied all day and you get into a hot tub
and it's like snowing or something like that.
That's great, right?
Remember when we did that?
And because that's because your body
is dissipating all that heat.
I do.
And you're kind of in that state of equilibrium,
but you still get the benefit of this like hot,
soothing water around your skin.
So the reason why warm water feels so much better
than warm air is because of the coefficient.
Yeah.
Because of the heat transfer. 50 times seems like a lot.
Yeah, but I mean, think about it.
It's also like the heat transfer coefficient of metal
is a lot higher than air.
So that's why if you like, if it's 70 degrees
and you wrap yourself in 70 degree, like metal, you would also, it would feel cold to you
and it's because it's pulling,
it's pulling that body heat out as well.
I don't know how that compares to water, but yeah,
the difference between water and air is the heat coefficient.
But once you get up to a hundred degrees,
you're actually getting to a place that the water
and the air are technically higher
than your core body temperature at that point. So you're trying to dissipate that heat all the time,
but now you're dissipating it into an environment
that is hotter than your own body temperature.
So it's really starts working hard.
So when you're in a hot tub, even if you feel good,
you're actually sweating quite a bit.
There's a lot of sweat that's happening.
There's a lot of blood flow that's happening
in the parts of your body that are near the surface as well.
That's what makes it good for you.
I guess.
I would have thought because water is more dense than air
that it would serve as more of an insulation
that it wouldn't, it's like wearing a coat.
What's the coefficient of a coat?
Well, I don't think that the insulation factor
and the heat transfer is necessarily the same thing.
Because if you were to put like, okay,
if you were to fill a wall,
if there was a wall around you in your house,
right now you fill it with insulation
because that keeps the heat from going through it.
So does that mean if the heat transfer coefficient
of water is higher than air,
if you put water in the walls of your house,
assuming that was possible,
that it would do a worse job of keeping you warm or cold?
Yes, I think it will.
It seems to be.
Because a vacuum is the best insulator.
That's why if you-
Like in a, they'll put a vacuum still thermos.
Right.
Or like if you have like double pane windows
and they could put a, well, they put argon in there
or they'll, I don't think they'll create a vacuum.
That's why you can get in a sauna
and get it up to 200 degrees or whatever.
You can get a sauna up to like 220 degrees,
which is above a boiling water temperature.
But you cannot get in a hot tub
that's over 104 by law, I think.
Right, if you get into 150 degree tub of water,
you're gonna burn your skin. If you get into 150 degree sauna of water, you're gonna burn your skin.
If you get into 150 degree sauna,
you're gonna be like, this isn't hot enough.
I want it to be hotter.
Yeah, that's the proof right there.
I know you're not full of bull crap.
You want a wreck, baby wreck, baby one, two, three, four.
I got a music wreck for you.
Now I've already given you this music wreck.
So I'm giving this to everybody else.
Have you gone back and listened to this?
Cause-
I don't remember which one it is.
Fine, I'll give it to you again.
Good old Willie Nelson has a son.
Yeah.
Lucas Nelson, Lucas with a K.
And he has a band called Lucas Nelson
and Promise of the Real.
And I think-
It's a great band name.
I think there's, it's,
I think they're kind of a jam band kind of a situation.
Promise of the Real definitely is the name
of what should be a jam band.
And I'm talking about like a Grateful Dead.
They say it sounds a little Grateful Dead.
Promise of the Real,
cause it's got like,
when you talk about what's real,
it seems like something that would-
And the promise of it.
Yeah, that you'd wanna like
really get in a jam band situation.
By the way, you talk about famous country music singer,
Sons.
We connected with Merle's youngest son
and we got a record yesterday sent to us
and it was a Shooter Jennings record
and I was so excited to report to you
what Jenna reported to me and it was like,
oh, there's two Shooter Jennings records here
and there's only thing it came with was a post-it note and the post-it note, it said,
thanks for occupying us and giving us a lot of laughs
on the road, dash shooter. Shooter.
Freaking Waylon Jennings son, Shooter Jennings,
you know, he's an artist, producer, musician,
mainstay,
in his own right.
Freaking wrote us a note and said that he watches us
and sent us his album.
So now we gotta connect with Lucas.
We gotta connect with Lucas Nelson
and you gotta connect with,
Lucas may not be happy that I'm like,
I'm recommending one of like the earliest songs
that they put out.
This is from 2014.
I'm just obsessed with this song,
it's called Find Yourself.
It's a good one.
It's off of the album called Sampler.
It's basically, it's three songs on it,
but it's presented as a single from 2014
with a couple of other songs.
You know, the phrase, I said it on the show,
"'You're a sweet peach, know your worth."
That's basically the premise of that song.
He's like, I'll let you listen to it.
But the thing that hooked me was just the groove
of this song, it's got a really good groove.
And then you got this, it's like, whoa,
this is kinda sounds like freaking Willie Nelson singing,
but a little bit different.
And he doesn't say sweet peach.
He just implies it.
Yeah, he doesn't have to say it.
Know Your Worth.
Know Your Worth people, check that one out.
That's, it's a good groove.
If you don't like, if you don't like his vocals,
because you know, then you'll start to like him.
Yeah, then that's your problem.
That's your problem.
So that's my rec.
Thank you for your questions.
Keep sending them in, we'll keep answering them
and talking about other stuff, life in general.
Hashtag your biscuits.
You did good.
Where you been?
Looks like she woke up.
I was talking to the dog, for those of you listening.
Not me.
He didn't just tell me.
I did a good job.
You did good, Rhett.
Just like you just woke up.
