friends talk about life for a long time. I'm Link. And I'm Jenna. I'm back again. We've been friends life for a long time. I'm Link. And I'm Jenna. I'm back again. We've been friends for such a long time. I know. Thank you for being my co-host today. Rhett is on spring break with Shepard, and they are on quite an adventure.

Yes. Do I want to say where they are? Peru. You said it. You said it. Yeah, I said it. They're in Peru. Freaking Peru, man. I mean, I barely know where that is. Machu Pichu. What? The only thing I've heard from Rhett is, well, he chimed in on a group chat with our college buddies. So I knew he was alive.

And he said that he had not seen the finale of Severance or the White Lotus. And I think they both wanted to talk about it. Yeah, yeah. And he's like, here I am in Peru. I'm like, okay, he's safe. And then Christie was like, hold on, you didn't talk to him when he got there? He didn't say, I got here, everything's good. I'm like, no.

She's like, really? I'm like, no, She's like, really? I'm like, no, we don't do that. She's like, you're at a point in your relationship where one of you goes on a super big trip and the other one doesn't find out that they're safe. And I'm like, yeah. I'm like, I think we're that far. We're that far along.

If something happens to them, I'll hear about it. Yeah. And if, yeah, I would hear about it. I'm sure he sent Jessie a thing. Yeah, right, exactly. Because Christy was talking to Jessie and telling her that because Christy and Jessie, they'll be like, oh, I got here safe, I'm in Peru.

I mean, and then Rhett would probably find out through Jessie that Christy got somewhere. Okay, is Jessie with them? No, Jessie's at home. I mean, and then Rhett would probably find out through Jessie that Christy got somewhere. Okay. Is Jessie with them? No. Jessie's at home. That's what I thought. I thought it was a chef and Rhett fun times. It's just the two of them. So I'm just saying if Jessie went on a trip, Christy would know immediately when she got there.

Yes. Yes. Uh-huh. I do the same thing. I send my friends updates. I'm like, hey, I'm gonna be here. And then, well, Laura just has my location, so. I like, when I go on a trip like that, I like forgetting that my life back home exists. I mean, I still make responsible decisions. That seemed a little too far. Let me roll that back a little bit. Okay.

I just don't, I'm very focused in the moment, and I'm not really thinking about what other people are thinking about me back home. I'm thinking about petting a baby llama or how much diarrhea I have from travel, which those are the only two things that I've heard about Rhett and Shepard's trip. Oh no! What? Baby llamas? The baby llama is amazing. Sorry, I was focused on the second one. I mean, I don't know if that's what happens when you pet too many baby llamas.

You start getting those Hershey squirts. So this episode is gonna... all I'm gonna do for the rest of this episode, Jenna, is talk to you about how I don't know anything else about his trip, so this whole episode is a teaser. We could speculate. For Red's trip. But they're safe, they got the runs, and the baby llamas, that's all I've heard.

Okay, okay. And isn't that more than enough? Yeah, I'd say that's enough. Especially when he's gonna roll in here. He's gonna tell you all about it. Next episode, he's gonna sit back in his seat, you're keeping warm. Yeah.

And he's gonna tell us all about it. But thanks for coming on over. I know, I'm excited. You're excited, you better be nervous. Oh, okay. What am I nervous for? Oh. She ain't nervous. What's I nervous for? Oh. She ain't nervous.

What's the worst that could happen? I mean, what about like a nervous excitement? If someone says something mean about me, oh no. Oh, that is the worst that could happen? No, I don't think that's the worst that could happen. The worst that could happen is like maybe this light happens to like fall and hit me in the face. And disfigure you?

Yeah, yeah. Or really cool. If it's a really cool scar, I guess it would be fine. Okay. So really, that's not the worst thing to happen either. All right, so which direction do you wanna go here? Do you wanna, let's go with scars. Let's go with scars.

Do you have a scar? I'm looking around, I don't see any scars. I have multiple scars, yeah. Well, you can't really see the one on my forehead anymore. That was from when I was a kid. Oh, now I see it. Uh-huh, and I've got one on my chin from when I was a kid as well, just right into some gravel on a bike.

Is that the... that's a dimple. No, that's like a scar, yeah. I didn't know you... oh. I don't know why I'm doing it this way. Do you have a dimple? You have a dimple. Do I have a dimple? You have a dimple? Relax your chin. God, now I can't relax it.

Yeah, there's another thing. I don't know why you say relax my chin and I can't relax my chin. I will say that I will share something about my face I'm self-conscious about once I completely give you the once over. Okay. So yeah, I would call that a dimple.

Okay, cool. There's a dot in the middle of your chin. I mean, it's not dirt, is it? No. Do you clean inside of there? I do clean in there. It's a dot in the middle of your chin. I mean, it's not dirt, is it? No. Do you clean inside of there? I do clean in there. It is a dimple. It is a dimple.

And you knew that? Yeah. Okay, I didn't. It's not that deep. It's not as deep as like a real any belly button that like you really gotta give it some care occasion. Yeah, yeah. I do have an any belly button as well.

I have a scar around my belly button too from all the surgery. I had a gallbladder removal, so I've got like a weird, got like some multiple scars around me. That was a few months ago, right? The gallbladder was ages ago, before you knew me. Oh, right. See, I didn't want to risk not knowing that you had gallbladder surgery a few weeks ago. So I did the safe thing. You did. Of course, I sounded like an idiot,

but I didn't sound like a jerk. Right, right. I had another laparoscopic. I don't know that Jenna had her gallbladder removed a couple weeks ago. That would have been a bad look. So now I'm just like, I'm glad you're doing better. Thanks. But you had something else. Another laparal. Yeah, yeah.

Last year, and then it was, it's all kind of the same scars. Alright. Yeah. Well, so what is the one on the top of your forehead there? It's vertical, it's lined up with your part. Do I know this story? No, I don't think so. Well, this is our day.

It is. We can do whatever we want. There's no big guy to commandeer the conversation. Alright. And I wanna know about this scar. I was just, I was a kid, maybe like seven or so, and running around... You care if I just stare at it the whole time you're talking? Yeah, it's fine, I don't care.

I was running around outside and just straight onto a rock. And like, how many stitches? I think like 10 stitches. Were you too young to like have the ability to catch yourself with your hands? Were your hands in your pocket? I don't remember. I sure- Oh, you lost memory. Well, I mean, that young,

there's a lot of pieces of my childhood that are- Okay, that's fair. Not- Blood? Rem childhood that are not memorable. Rememberable. Rememberable. Do you remember the blood? Not for this one. I remember the blood for this one. The chin.

Yeah, that was, I was riding my bike and I was going down a hill. I was probably 10 maybe when that happened. And then at the end of the hill, there was like gravel and I had to turn and my bike just slipped right out from under me and I just went like chin first into the gravel. You gotta learn to put your hands out. Probably. But not,

actually not your hands, your forearms. The proper way to catch yourself is, I think with your forearms, not your hands, your forearms. Yeah. The proper way to catch yourself is, I think with your forearms, not your hands, because that will... I kinda did a little. That'll mess up your wrist. I kinda did a little. I had like some pieces of gravel stuck all in here,

and then I had some here too, in my shoulder. Forearm slide. I've been watching videos on TikTok of old people, well, not old people falling, but someone who's older than me telling old people how they should fall. Uh-huh. telling old people how they should fall. I mean, she's probably, she might be 60, but she's kind of a spry 60. And she's making TikToks. She might be a physical therapist or something.

But she's on the grass, and she's teaching old people how to fall. Yeah, because you don't, you'll snap your wrists if you put your hands out. Or break a hip if you don't fall exactly correctly. These are the things that I'm apparently having to worry about now. TikTok is serving me up the old people how to fall videos.

Yeah. My falling has improved now. I haven't seriously injured myself from a fall in a very long time and I think volleyball helped with that because you have to learn how to fall correctly Huh, and then I need pads and there's knee pads. Yeah and elbow pads No, I didn't wear elbow pads first for volleyball and then a wrist guards No, I didn't wear you know, I don't think you could really okay Not with how much you need to use your wrists. Alright.

But yeah, and then I did a lot of combat stuff, and you learn how to fall. So I haven't had a lot. You served. Yeah, I served. You did combat. Where were you in combat? Jenna's very nearly, Jenna was in combat. Where were you in combat? Jenna's very nearly... Jenna was in combat. Where were you? I didn't... no, I wasn't... You were in like the Gulf War or something?

No, the Gulf War. Too young for that. I could have been in the Gulf War. You could have. Yeah, I could have been in the Gulf War. No. Yeah. For me, it would have been the Iraq War and Afghanistan. It would have been all of that. That's where you served? No. That's where I could have. Okay. That's where I didn't.

I did other combat training just for my own edification. More an actor-ly kind of a world. Both, yeah. A theater type of world. Mm-hmm, like Pratt Falls, yeah. Mm-hmm. Okay. But then I learned to like actual combat too. I'm gonna go on so many tangents here because this is where my brain is today, but I'm gonna come back to my face.

Uh-huh. And I'm gonna come back to your face. But when you just mentioned, or I mentioned theater about you, I've been telling everybody this story, and it's about to get too old to tell. This is your story to tell, but since you're here, I'm gonna tell it to you. Okay. Okay. Um, I've been obsessed with Severance. Of course, it's over for everyone except for

Rhett. And we were on a Wonder Hole shoot a couple weeks ago. Uh-huh. You know where I'm going with this? I do, yes. And I was talking about Severus and I was asking Jenna if she'd seen it. I have not. She said no, just like she's, her story is consistent.

You still have not seen it. I still haven't. Which is a mistake. I know, it is. But I know the Apple login thing, it's like, well you're gonna buy, you gotta get a free Apple for a little bit if you don't wanna pay for it. I do have an Apple.

You even have it? I know, I know, I know. Man, that is just. I have no excuse. That's bad. I know. Especially because Jenna says to me, you know what, I have a friend who's on Severance.

You said friend. Uh-huh. You said friend. You said friend. Yeah. Not acquaintance. Right. Not somebody that you met once. You said friend. Yeah. And I was like, what? From your theater days in Tennessee. Yeah.

And I'm like, well who is it? And then you're like, well I don't know who he is on the show because I haven't seen the show. And I'm like, so you tell me his name. Tramell. And I look it up immediately and I'm like, this is Milchek! What? She's friends with Milchek and she's not doing anything for me, you're about it!

What, Jenna? He is like, he's is like, I tried to explain it to her. He's a fan favorite. He's also in the new Mission Impossible movie with Tom Cruise. I saw he posted about that. Do you also know Tom Cruise? I do know Tom Cruise.

No, I'm just kidding. Wouldn't that be crazy, sorry. Why? Here we are doing this. I mean, I'm not saying I'm not glad to be doing this with you, Jenna, but I mean, I wouldn't have argued if you'd have brought your friend Milchek up in here. Come on!

I don't have his number anymore. He's a friend from my theater days. I'm sure he'd love to reconnect. Maybe. You've got, I can't, like, I mean how much camaraderie was there with him? What's his name again? Tramell Tillman. Tramell Tillman.

Uh huh. Yeah, he was a... He is the best. Yeah, he's a wonderful actor. I mean, I haven't seen Sepport's yet. I'm sorry. His character is so good. I mean, I don't know why, but I'm starting to cry a little bit. It's crazy. I mean, this is not news to me. Can you tell that my eyes are getting real wet?

You're having the same reaction of when I first told you... I know, again! It's the gift it keeps giving. Jenna has a friend that I wanna know! Yeah, he was in the master's program. Program? Program. Program. Program.

Program. He was in the master's program, and now it's just gonna be program, I'm sorry. And I was in my junior, senior year, so he had just started his master's, and I was a junior, senior at UT, and we all worked on the same projects, and saw him around, and yeah, he hung out, and he's a lovely person. So if you saw him on the street,

what would he say to you? He'd probably say, oh my God, Jenna, UT. And I was like, yeah. You think he'd remember your name? I think he'd remember my name. I mean, I have called him friend. I don't know, maybe not. I mean, we worked on projects. Let him speak first. Yeah, I'll let him speak first not. We worked on projects.

Let him speak first. Yeah, I'll let him speak first. That's the power move. But keep following him until he does speak. That's the creep move. Okay. But I'm really excited for him. I thought that was so cool.

I can't believe I haven't seen it! I can't believe it! So I have a terrible friend. And you've known this, that he was in it, and that it was, I mean, the first season was two years ago and it was amazing. I didn't know in the first season. I didn't see any of it.

if we're including ears as part of the face. There's a hole on the inside of your ear, right there. Can I touch? Yeah, you can touch it. I'm sorry, I was already touching it. I was pointing, but I didn't mean to point so closely that I was touching before asking. But yeah, I was like, oh, my finger went farther than I thought. It didn't go in your ear. It didn't. It didn't. Can I put my finger in your ear?

No. Can I lick it first? No. No wet willies. Is this new or is this like gallstone, gallbladder thing? I've got a couple new piercings in my ears, yeah. Like in the past few days? No, not in the past few days. In the past like, month or two. Okay.

I think I got it in February. I failed you. I mean, I don't see that ear. It's not in here. I have two new ones right here. I'm not gonna feel bad for not noticing that. Yeah, that's fine. Yeah, those are little snake bites. I mean, Christy will get these ear piercings around here, and then it'll just keep... and she keeps going.

We go to the same place. At a certain point, it's unnoticeable to me. I mean, it's fun for her and it's nice, and I don't think she expects me to notice. It's not like, my hair color's different. Thanks for noticing for the past three days. Or I gotta chop. You would notice.

I would notice. You would notice, yeah. I mean, she's done like some hair color floofing. Like just a little bit of zhuzh, and I haven't noticed that, and I felt a little bit of negativity, but not anything that we needed to talk about, or I needed to apologize for. But getting one

down there in the middle, now that should be noticed by a boss. And I apologize. I don't know if you've sat on this side of me since. So maybe that's why. I'm in there, or we're talking this way. I'm never looking down the shaft of your ear. No, except today. Today you're looking right down there. I hope they're clean. They are. It's fine. Yeah. I'm waiting for it to fully heal because I wanna get... God, that had to hurt.

I mean, it still does a little bit. Oh, so when I touched it... No, that didn't hurt. It's still a little bit. Look at the backside of this It's just like um. That's a thick part. That is not lobe. That is like ear proper. Yeah. Yeah I mean did they have to Screw it in? No Just uh just put a I bet it hurt. I bet it hurt. Um, it's not the most painful thing I've a... I bet it hurt.

I bet it hurt. Um, it's not the most painful thing I've done. I bet it hurt though. Um, I don't, yeah, car luge isn't... Is it oozing? No, I, not anymore. It did, there was a bit of blood. Okay. That's good. That I would, that I cleaned with like saline solution.

But, and I keep it. Anything else? That's like, keep it sterile. that I cleaned with saline solution. But, and I keep it, that's why I keep it sterile. Is there anything else that I should be noticing about your face now that we're on it? Because I just want to get it all taken care of. I'm looking at your face, it's here, I'm giving it a once over. I haven't done anything.

There's nothing else that I'm noticing. Everything else looks as I would expect. Yeah, yeah. Yep, no big change. I haven't had any big changes, so anything that you've noticed, it's been there. No signs of aging. I mean, the signs of aging are.

Not that I'm seeing. Okay. But that's a transition back to me. That's the correct answer. I was looking, did I talk about it at this table I'm looking... did I talk about it at this table with Rhett that I saw myself... I'm critical of how I walk? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay. But because I was watching myself on WonderHole and I'm not behind the GMM desk,

I have fresh eyes to seeing myself from different angles. Mm-hmm. And so not only have I been a little critical of my walk, my gait, my swagger, that I feel like I need to work on, but I noticed around my temple, right here, I'm talking about the sides of my head here. That I've got, let's see, where's the, I've got these age spots, like, you see that right there? Yep, mm-hmm.

Oh, wait, hold on. Sorry. I mean, no, I don't know what you're talking about. That was too quick. I don't know what you're talking about. That was too quick! So let's try that again. Let's go, okay, you can cut that out. All right, so here we go. I've noticed these age spots over here.

What? Where? I don't see them. I know, you gotta get close. It's kinda faint. Maybe... It almost looks like a birthmark. Uh-huh. Is my finger in the right place? It is. No, I don't know. I don't know if it's in the right spot. I can't tell what you're looking at.

I don't, and then Christy said, oh, well you got some over here too. It's really happening right here. Is it there too? Yes. It is. That's a spot a lot of people forget to reapply sunscreen to.

Yep. So now, Christy's like, well, if you want to, you can use bleaching cream. And I'm like, what? What? Bleaching cream? What? And she was like, but if you do that,

you have to make sure that you wear SPF. Yeah. And I'm like, I don't know, I don't know. Maybe not bleaching cream, we could try the red like, I don't know, I don't know. Maybe you know, Bleach, maybe we could try the Reddinal. I'm glad it's... Get you some red light therapy. Okay. Rhett's been talking that up too. Don't be that way. Okay, I won't, sorry.

Hey, you need to do this, man. And you need to do this. And while you're doing that, you need to do this, and you need to do it in this order. And don't do it right when you wake up. Oh, that's when you've been doing it? Ha! It's not doing any good. Yeah. I don't know the order of things, so it's okay. I know those things are good. No, I'm just messing with you. I do appreciate you letting me know what you think. I mean, because I could just leave it. It is a... I'm getting all these spots. This is hereditary. I've been getting them on my hands.

I'm getting so many spots on my hand, and this is my mom's fault, this is my mom's side of the family, getting these like age spots. And I ain't gonna be putting nothing on that. I mean, hopefully I'll get enough that it'll just like blur into like a hand tan. Yeah, it'll be a hand tan eventually. But this is exactly what I'm getting here.

And so I need to start, I don't really want that to like, start creating maps on my face. Okay. But I don't like the bleach thing, so it's not that big of a deal to me, but I was surprised that it was a little more noticeable than I thought. So I'm just in a place of noticing.

It creeps up on you. That's the thing, you know, it's like meditation. Just notice it. And then either take action or let it go. So I'm trying to decide what I'm gonna do, but I think more SPF. I'm back on the SPF train. Yeah. So that's my main thing. I mean, what I always do when I put SPF on my face

is I will have a little extra. There's always gonna be a little extra, and I put it on my hands too, because I've noticing the... On the back of the hands, though. On the back of the hands. Not the front, because then I have to wash my hands because... And I told Christy this too. I'm like, listen, the reason why I stopped using

SPF on my face, even though you being the amazing caregiver you are, buy it for me, is because at a certain point during the day, I'll get some of my eyes, and I will just weep uncontrollably like you've told me that your friend is Milchuk from The Severance. And it's like, I can't stop it. You know, getting it in your eye. And she's like, I don't understand why that happens to you. Are you taking your hands and just going like this? I'm like, no, I'm not rubbing my eyes. I'm rubbing up here, and I realized I was rubbing a little bit of my eyebrow,

because you want to get all the way to the brow, right? And now I'm going to the sides where my birthmarks are, my age spots, and then I get under here, I get the nose, and I get right here. But I don't get like right underneath the eye, right here. Yeah. But I think the thing that happens is my glasses, something gets on like the top of my glasses or like under here on the bottom of my glasses and then it just moves around and it gets in my eye.

It's my glasses fault. So I'm trying to figure out what to do. Have you tried different like, okay. So I'm open to that Different what try a different product and maybe it's the product like what's okay that might be bugging you or Throughout the day you because like I have that issue sometimes too if I put on too much like makeup and other things that like Halfway through the day my eyes and start watering and kind of get irritated.

And I had to switch to, I just tweaked different products and things. Huh, okay. See, that's the advantage of me talking about my problems here is that I welcome solutions. I'm not telling you what to do, but I'm saying I've had that and it just, it's a game of guessing.

I'm talking about the power of the community too. Yeah. Leave me a voicemail. 1-888-EARPOD-1 You got it, Jenna. Alright, let's hear one. Oh, and before we do, just want to remind you that one of the most titillating, I shouldn't have said that,

one of the most intriguing episodes of Last Meals, of course the Mythical Kitchen Show where Josh and the Mythical Kitcheners prepare the perfect last meal as requested by the guest. It's the attention to detail and execution is amazing, but then the conversations that Josh gets into with these people are existential, man. If you've never watched Last Meals, you should browse for a guest that you like. Maybe that's Tom Hanks. Maybe that's me.

Or maybe it's Stevie. The only way to listen to the Stevie and watch the Stevie last meals is to go to the Mythical Society. It's a special one, so we put it in a special place to get you over into the Mythical Society world, mythicalsociety.com. Let's hear it.

Hey, Rittenlink. My name is Ryan from Chicago, Illinois. I just wanted to know what's your guilty pleasure when it comes to music, like someone that you listen to that most people probably find to be bad or cringy, but you enjoy them anyway. Mine would probably be Nickelback. Thanks, love you guys, bye. Okay, yeah, thanks for sharing. Thanks for not just asking the question, but giving us your Nickelback, because I understand Nickelback. I understand it. I remember as they were coming up,

the pre-Spider-Man soundtrack Nickelback. I was like, okay, this is catchy. This is catchy. Can't argue with this, is it? And there's a sense of humor to it, I remember that from some of their music videos, I think. And then they just became, I don't know, it was unfortunate, I feel for Nickelback. I think it, I don't know,

do they take themselves too seriously? What really happened? What really happened that they became the trope? I don't know, did they take themselves too seriously? What really happened? What really happened that they became the trope? I don't know. I don't either. But I was- Because there were so many other bands of a similar caliber that didn't get that heat, I feel like.

Well, you've got Creed. Yeah. So that's the other one that comes to mind for me from kind of that era. That's the other one that comes to mind for me from kind of that era. Mm-hmm. Um, and the, because they just got so huge and so mainstream that I think the association was like, it was a very vanilla... Yeah.

...taste, but they, I don't think it was their fault. No. I don't think it was their fault. No. I don't think it was their fault. But not a fan. Proud to say, not a fan. So I'm talking out of both sides of my mouth. Do you have one? I'll give mine. I'd say one from when I was growing up that I still will listen to is...

Spice Girls. That's not cringe. I didn't say guilty pleasure. Guilty pleasure. You didn't say the word cringe. Uh-huh. Yeah, I still listen to Spice Girls, definitely. Okay, this is...

100%. All of those, yeah. What were you gonna say, though? I was gonna say Big and Rich. Big and Rich? Yeah, save a horse, Ride a Cowboy. That is a guilty pleasure song for me for real. I don't know if they're disliked,

but I feel like that song was so overplayed for so long. So that song is your guilty pleasure. Yeah, do I know anything else from Big and Rich? I do not. I don't. But I love that. I mean, my problem is why choose? Like, let's just ride both. Yeah.

You know? A horse and a cowboy. Exactly. I mean, I'm fond of the idea riding horses, and I don't wanna have to make that choice. Big and rich, don't make that choice for me. That's like choosing between big and rich. Both. Don't make me do that, big and rich!

Because rich, I might have to choose big. Or big, I might have to choose rich. So why don't you just let me ride a horse and a cowboy. There you go, there you go. At, big and rich. At symbol, right at ya. And I don't feel a bit of guilt about it. Do you? No.

Mm-hmm. But if you had to choose. If I had to choose? Yes. Big or rich? No. A horse or a cowboy? Yeah. Oh.

If you had to choose. Cowboy. Have you had to choose? Have you been in that situation where there's a horse and there's a cowboy? No, I have not. Okay. I guess it's circumstantial, right?

Well, have you ever? What are the needs? Have you ever? What is it? I mean, Jenna, have you ever? Ever what? Cowboy? What?

Well, you know, I'm not... Probably. Have you ever? Probably. Have you ever? Probably. Probably what? Probably have. Ridden cowboy. Oh, no, I'm talking about a horse!

Oh, a horse? Oh yeah, I've ridden a horse. I'm not trying to put you on a spa! I'm not trying to put you on a spa! I know how to ride horses. I like horses. Uh, I think of that movie, The Cowboy Way. I don't know that movie The Cowboy Way. I don't know that movie. I don't know. You know, see, you watch things that I... Woody, it's Woody Harrelson and... I love Woody Harrelson.

Crap, crap, crap. Who's the other cowboy? Kiefer Sutherland. Kiefer Sullivan. Sutherland. Sutherland. And he's got a mustache, and I've never seen him with a mustache before. Yeah, Kiefer's got a mustache. Okay. And Woody's got a mustache, and I've never seen him with a mustache before. Yeah, Kiefer's got a mustache. Okay.

And Woody's got a wig. Listen, I love both of them. Was this Kiefer? There's definitely a Ride a Cowboy scene that I remember that's very funny. When did this come out? And I think it makes... 1994. 94?

94. I mean, this is a weird wreck from a guy who doesn't wreck movies. You don't wreck any movies, yeah. But there's a certain scene with a cowboy hat that... you like Woody Harrelson? Yes. Okay. And that era of Woody Harrelson and Keifer Sutherland? Yeah. Nice.

I've just done you a favor. Okay, thank you. Okay. Yup. Should I watch that first or Severance? Uh, Cowboy Way. Cowboy Way, okay. I hope I'm thinking about the Cowboy Way

in not eight seconds with Luke Perry, which is a rodeo movie, May He Rest In Peace. Okay. Because I don't think I've seen that. I just think I know about it. So I'm pretty sure that the scene I'm thinking about with the cowboy hat... I'm assuming it's strategically placed over... Oh! Come on, I don't want to give too much away.

I mean, I can infer. That's a big assumption based on what I said. I can infer. Okay. Oh, wow. Hmm. I'd say it's iconic. Alright, so that's what you need to watch. And that could be your new guilty pleasure. You know what? Next time I see you, I'm not gonna ask you if you've watched it. Okay.

I'm not gonna... You can volunteer that you've watched it, but I'm not gonna ask you. Okay. Because I don't want that to be... I don't want that energy in our working relationship. You know? Constantly being like, you need to watch this, and you need to watch this. Yeah, exactly. Because people do that to me all the time. And I don't like that energy. So take it or leave it. Yeah. I feel like we're similar in that regard. Like if someone asks me to watch

something too much, then I'm just like, I'm not gonna watch it. Yeah, I'm not gonna talk about severance. Anyone? That I will, because I need to watch it because it's trammels in it. I feel like a jerk. What is my guilty music pleasure? That was a good one. Yeah. Big and rich.

I'm tempted to say the Chili Peppers, but, you know, because people make fun of the lyrics, but I'm over that. But I'm over that. I'm going to go with, I'm gonna go with 311. You know, I know that Rhett and I have talked a lot about 311 and how they're formative to our like

late high school, early college band days, the rap rock reggae thing and some of that, you know they're still doing it, still touring and I'm still a fan. Yeah. I bought a record of theirs for nostalgic purposes very recently, but I do feel a little bit of guilt when I listen to him. Why?

Well, it's not like listening to Joni Mitchell after you realize she did Blackface. It's not like that. I did not know Joni Mitchell did that. Yeah, sorry to do that to you. She played this character. Oh boy, all right. And Rhett was the one who told me this. He was trying to spoil Joni Mitchell for me.

I'm not that huge of a fan, but when I told Lando, he had this crisis of conscience that was like, does he need to get rid of his Joni Mitchell? And like, I don't want to continue this conversation. But yeah, I didn't mean to make him feel that bad about it. But yeah, let's not get off on the Joni Mitchell tangent. No, we don't need to. I just mentioned it and you do your own research and come to your own conclusions.

Back to 311. I don't know. Back to 311. I don't know. Back to 311. I remember that. So I feel a little guilty about 311, but not enough to not buy a record, not enough to say that I'm still a fan, and Nick, I wish you the best on your new solo album. See? There you go. You're following their whole thing still. I got a soft spot in my heart for 311.

And I feel a little guilty about it. We're going to have to find out when they're playing somewhere soon. You're going to have to go to a concert. Have you been since? I've seen them once when I was in college at like a small venue and it was very, very fun. Yeah. That was the Sound System album. Anyway, all right, let's hear another.

Hi Rhett and Link. I'm just watching the where we feel our anxiety the most. And I'm listening to Jenna's date update. And she says that men have these big feelings in the car. And that is 100% true. I've been with my boyfriend for six years now. And the first time he ever said he loved me was the day after he asked me to be his girlfriend in the McDonald's drive-thru. It was so funny

the look on his face after he said it it was just hilarious but I loved him and I said it right after and it's Jenna's I just had to call in and say, this is 100% true. Thanks so much, and my name is Allie, by the way. I think I forgot to say that at the beginning. Bye. It was good that you said it at the end, because now I'll remember it for a second. Yes.

Allie. Ah ha. You have been vindicated. I'm right. No, I don't remember if we opposed you. I wouldn't think that we did. You didn't oppose me, no. But she's talking about a good feeling. I was talking about a bad feeling,

big feelings that men have, and so I'm glad that she had a good experience. Refresh my memory, because when you say bad feeling, I thought you were talking about men, they like to make advances at the end of dates in cars. Is that not which part of what you were talking about? No, they, it's like, it's all of these pent up feelings that they have tend to come out when they're driving

and you're trapped in a vehicle with them. And that could be a good or bad. And we're not talking about road rage. Not talking about road rage, no. You're talking about relational stuff. Relational conversations, like any big fights, I don't know why, that's always when they're driving and you're in the car, it's just like, I would really like to have this conversation not here, not in a moving

vehicle that I have no control over. Oh, because you're starting to get nervous for accidents. Yeah, yeah. And there's no exit if the fight reaches a point where I'm like, I need a walk. I need to go for a walk, you know? If you're assuming you're in the passenger seat, you could crawl into the back seat.

That would send a message. That would, I would send a message. Just like lower. I'm back here. Can't hear ya. Or you just lower your seat back and you're like... I'm out. I'm out! I mean, cause you don't have a lot to work with. I mean, you could open the glove box, stick your head in there, ostrich style.

But you're not without some level of volition here. You are trapped in a moving vehicle with a person and you can't escape them, but there are some cars that once you get in the back seat and if there's a middle thing, like an arm rest that comes down in the middle, behind that there'll be a portal. And sometimes it has a lock on it. And you can put the key through that and open that and you'll have a hole into the trunk. And then you can crawl all the way into the trunk.

I don't know if I would want to be in the trunk of an angry man's car either. No. Okay, let's go back to the lean back. Because I like this technique. The lean back. Like, if you're just like, it's just like Homer Simpson going back into the bushes. I mean, he's just yelling and yelling,

and I'm just like, bzzz. Yeah, he's driving and he's upset, and he might be upset at you, and then he looks over, and you're not there anymore. I'm like, oh, my head's not there anymore. I'm not there anymore! It's like, oh, my head's way back here. I can't hear you. What do you think?

That is a good technique. I kinda want... I wanna send you out into the world to get into a vehicle altercation. Okay. Like some sort of relationship altercation in moving vehicle. Just to try this. And every time I see you, I'm gonna ask you if you've done it.

I don't know if I'm gonna find myself in that situation. I mean, I don't live vicariously through you enough, I think is what I'm learning. Okay, yeah. Like, I got that, you know, dad for a long time, married for a long time energy. I gotta send some of that your way. Yeah. That's what we do, us dads. We live vicariously through people who are

dating and who are just playing video games with their lives and who knows what else? It's your own adventure. Reading books, you know, it's like, this is now part of our working relationship. Okay. No, that's not the healthiest. That was a joke.

Hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe He's an interesting pattern, and I've heard it from Better than the glove box. But I mean, you're thinking about specific, this is a pattern. Mm-hmm. It's an interesting pattern, and I've heard it from multiple friends of mine too that have experienced it as well. So it's nice to hear it from a stranger too, but I'm glad it was a happy one. Hilarious that he said, I love you,

first at a McDonald's drive-thru, I love it. And then the look on his face. Was she sure he was saying it to her and not like the fact that the ice cream machine wasn't broken and he could get a McFlurry, you know what I'm saying? Potentially. Potentially. And then she said, I love you too.

And he like went around, that's why he had that weird look on his face, like, oh I was talking to the soft sir. No, I'm sure that wasn't the case. I'm sorry, Allie. Hmm. But can you think about trying to lean back? Because I do think it's a, because engaging, like, because what else do you do? You say, hey, now, can we pause on this? Mm-hmm, yeah. But I think that's good, that's strong.

Use your words. Yeah. I assume that's what you would already do. Yeah. But then adding the recline, it really reinforces, this is the action I'm taking. Uh-huh. I think it's good.

It's like I'm disengaging from this conversation. Yeah, I can't get Christy to lay her seat back. I don't know what it is. I think it's she's afraid of my driving. Like, I'm like, go to sleep. I can tell you're tired. Lay the seat back. The argument we get over is over her unwillingness to lay the seat back. The argument we get over is over her unwillingness to lay the

seat back. I can tell you're tired. I'm driving. It's a long trip. Lay your seat back. I think there's a pillow in the back or there's something we can use. She's like, no, no, no. I'm just gonna stay here. And it's cause she feels like she needs to keep an eye on me. I was like, I drive so much without you in the car. And no one's scared. Well, she's an Enneagram 6. And she also just likes to be there and support you. Yeah, yeah.

Do you need some more SPF? The only one, yeah. Do you need a carbon monoxide detector? Yes, oh my gosh. She got all that. Everyone needs all that. She's got all that, she's my gosh. She got all that. Everyone needs all that. She's got all that. She's my rock.

She's my rock. She's my cowboy. And my horse. Alright, fire away. Hi Rhett, Link, and Jenna and Jamie, if you guys are there. Don't want to leave you guys out of this because I need advice. Firstly, my name is Liz. I'm from Texas, currently surviving Texas. And I am in my first relationship. We're going on like two years and we're pretty steady, pretty solid with each other.

But there's something like personal that just keeps coming up that I keep thinking about and I'm actually about to go into therapy and talk about, but I still respect and would like to hear y'all's opinions on it. I have a problem with showing vulnerability or practicing vulnerability. I grew up in a very pragmatic household, so everything was very logical and no feelings were involved. So it's very difficult for me to be vulnerable emotionally, sometimes physically. So I wanted to ask, what are some ways that you guys practice being vulnerable in your own

relationships, or how would you, if you did have a relationship, how would you practice vulnerability? Thanks guys, love what you do, bye bye. Just get in a car. Apparently. Just keep driving around and it'll well over you. Maybe that's just guys, I don't know. Yeah, yeah. I don't think she's gonna be crushed that Rhett's not here, because I can tell she really wanted to hear from the two of you, so. Yeah. I'm gonna let you have the floor.

Well, I'm not in a committed relationship, but Jamie can probably speak on it, but I will say I feel like she is showing vulnerability by calling in and going to therapy. Like that shows a good level of vulnerability to speak openly about it. So I'd say congratulations. Saying you have trouble being vulnerable is a form of vulnerability. Yeah, indeed. So we celebrate that. I mean, so before the relationship that I'm currently in, I would like to say I was very

much the same and very emotionally stilted is how I used to say it. Because I always kind of thought about things more logically a little bit because I was just shallow in my feelings like I was. I just didn't feel down deep. And the way that I got better at it was literally just kind of practicing conversations by myself, honestly. I would just kind of talk to myself in the mirror

or I'd be listening to a song that made me feel emotional so that I could talk about emotional things. And that actually really helped the practice. And then, yeah, not looking at the person in the eye is the way you can start, honestly. It really does help to not look at them in the eye, which the car might be a good idea, honestly. Not for bad big feelings, but like, just big feelings.

But that's what helped me. And then eventually, with my partner, he's just easy with him because he's my person. So to me, it's like you fall into that and it just feels good. And then you, cause when you bottle stuff up, it sucks. And the reality of that sucking by yourself is like the worst. And then once you let it go, you're like, why did I wait so long to do that? I just felt sucky for so long? Well, it's, cause it's a skill. It's a practice. And some people, it becomes more naturally to them than others. But I think that, you know, asking that question, you're being too hard on yourself, or if anybody else is saying, well, why, you know,

reaping the benefits of it and saying, why didn't I, why was I so resistant to this? Because as the caller, her name's Liz. Yes. I think, as Liz alluded to, you know, there's so many things, nature and nurture that build you into the person you are at this particular point. But the person you are at this particular point in your life is not the person that you will always be. And you can affect change.

And so knowing that it takes work to start to get in touch with your emotions or to be better at sharing those, emotions or to be better at sharing those, it's absolutely normal because it is a big deal and it is a hard thing to do. I mean, I'm remembering a lot of conversations Rhett and I have had because our therapy journey, I think one of the journeys, one of the biggest hallmarks of that for each of us has been learning the craft of getting in touch with your emotions. Because if you're not and it doesn't come naturally,

it takes time and effort. That's what work is. It takes time and effort, you know, that's what work is. To make up your mind that you're gonna cultivate this as a skill that could become more of an ability. I mean, and I love what you said about like you find the right person. Like you found your person. And I think a good test of that, that at least my definition, you tell me what you meant by it, is when you're vulnerable, how they respond helps define if they're your person or not. I think that's part of the

definition of what people mean when they... at least that's what I heard in what you're saying. It's easier... I can be vulnerable because they're my person. Yeah. But it works the other way, too. They're my person because I can be vulnerable with them and it's a safe space and it's a safe relationship. Yeah, 100% because I think a lot of times that some people try to test the waters of being vulnerable and if you're with someone who reacts horribly to that,

that's even worse than keeping it bottled up and then you're like, I never wanna do that again. So, which I've also been through and I'm sure, you know, in past relationships, Jenna, or like anything, which I've also been through, and I'm sure, you know, in past relationships, Jenna, or like anything like I've been through as well. So when you do finally, you're like, all right, I'm gonna let go. It's like, you're so nervous, you're so anxious,

and then you say something, and then they react just so calmly, so coolly. They're listening to you. They're not trying to attack you or make you feel unheard. Then you're like, oh my God, I can breathe. And that's what I think the main thing is, is when that person brings you peace at the end of the day, no matter what, they're your peace,

that means they're your person, at least to me. Yeah. The only thing I have is I tend to have the opposite, where when I first start delving and going deep with my emotions, they would overwhelm me and I couldn't regulate properly to express myself clearly. So what I would do in, I started doing it in friendships because I have been single for quite a number of years now. And so I started doing it just with myself and with my friendships and the relationships I have with like my work relationships too. Like I've come into you and Rhett before and asked advice because I'm heated about something

that happened at work. And I need advice on how to properly express myself. And you all have always been very good about offering that advice for me whenever I come in hot with something. And I do the same thing in my friendships too. Laura and I, a few years back, got into a fight and I know I definitely was in the wrong

and I hurt her deeply and I couldn't find the right words to properly apologize to her because I was so overwhelmed with the feelings of my fuck up essentially and I ended up just having I had to write it all down and then I had to go to her and read what I had written and express it in that way. And then it's yeah, it is this trust that you were going to these people in this state and this kind of this like belief that they're not going to dismiss you. They're not going to dismiss what you have to say. I think that's the hardest part of vulnerability, is recognizing like, all right, I have to go in with the trust that they're going to react properly.

Because I did have so many relationships in the past where that was not the case, and I'd have to bottle things, and then I was never able to express. So now I'm never able to express. So now I'm like trying to figure out how to do the expressing. I just had to do everything on my own for so long and I think now it's a you don't have to do everything alone either. Like I'm much more open to accepting help from people and knowing when I need help. And I think that's a level of vulnerability.

So like there's certainly Liz Liv. Liz. Liz. Definitely is already on that track, I feel like, of having people that they feel comfortable expressing. Yeah, and I think that there's, on the, near the other end of the spectrum is, okay, being too vulnerable. You know, you gotta pick the right person, you know, to continue to use the term, right? Somebody's gotta be worthy of your vulnerability because by definition, it's the risk that it's something that could hurt you

or you feel like you're exposing a weakness that then can be used against you. So, in therapy, you might discover some of the reasons why and that might help get to a place of like practiced in proper vulnerability. And it's something that I'm sure can grow over time. But owning it and then going to therapy, I think that is a great environment to talk about it, to then know how to talk about it with your partner.

And, you know, I'm also wanna advocate for couples therapy when it comes to, when there's things in your relationship that you don't know how to make forward progress or you keep having the same conflict that gets to the same point, having the same conflict that gets to the same point, then I think that that's a great place to go to couples therapy. It's not something that,

when you think about couples therapy, you think about like you're saving your relationship or something, but I've started to look at it much differently as an opportunity for all types of relationships, including vibrant, rewarding relationships that I'm excited about, like me and Christy. There's certain things where we've benefited

from having a third person to help us navigate something where we just couldn't get, we just weren't making any more progress. Our experiences are so different that we're just not seeing or hearing each other. So it's like, so I don't know, I think that might be a component of it down the road too, but I'm not, I think there's still a lot of work to be done

that's like, what are my big feelings outside of the car, so to speak. And you gotta be careful with cowboys, just to go back to that, because, I mean, they spend a lot of time alone, just brooding. I mean, listen to the Willie Nelson song, My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys. Like, the lyrics to that song are amazing. They've got their own brand of misery from being alone too long out on the prairie. And it talks about women of the night, it talks about warm puppies. There's all types of stuff in this song. Okay. It's great. But, and it might be insightful if you're listening to a lot of Big Rich. You know what I'm saying?

Listen to Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy, and then listen to My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys. And then you decide which song you like better. Which song makes you feel less guilty. Alright. Let's get one more in there. Hi, Rhett and Link. I have a question for you. As a 25-year-old teacher here, I really want to get a tattoo, and I know both of you have now gotten some tattoos that are visible at least to us. I'm not sure if you had any before that but I'm just wondering how did you decide what to get?

I have a lot of anxiety about not liking tattoos in the future that I would get now. Of course I'm told that you shouldn't care and that it's just a tattoo and that you'll probably love it no matter what. But how do you decide what to get, where to put it, what to get as a first tattoo? I don't want to get something too big and be in pain. And as someone that's a teaching professional, how to tell other people about it, especially if it's in a visible spot, what to do with that. So just a thought. And my name's Caitlin, by the way, since you guys always forget. Big fan. Bye.

Caitlin, Caitlin, overthinking the tattoo of it all. There's a Reddit thread that I don't follow, but just keeps coming up, and it's called Tattoo Regret. It's people posting their tattoos, and they're just trying to get reassurance that they haven't made a complete mistake. The thing I like about it is that most always people make, the commenters make them feel better about their tattoo.

That's good. But yeah, I don't spend too much time there, but I do like, I like the positive energy in that thread. I mean, you're gonna be the one who thinks the most about it and see, and like, analyzes it. I know you've got some tattoos. I do.

I think we've talked about these before. Yeah. You can quickly go through a list. Let's see. I've got one on my foot, one on each wrist, one on my forearm, side, sternum, each thigh. Is that all of them? Each thigh. Is that all of them? Each thigh.

Is that all of them? Yeah, I've got the two large ones on my thighs. Least painful of all of them that I've gotten by far. Although, I mean, the wrist was really easy. And it's small. That was my first one. My first one was my... That's the way... this is where it hurt me the most, right here. Yeah, there's a lot of little things in there. But I guess because mine was small that it was fine.

Yeah, this was my first one I got when I was 18. What does that say? Dirt? You're gonna feel like a jerk when I tell you. Yeah, I'm sure it's. It's my mom's initials. Dirt! It's my mom's initials one way and then another way. It's like a term in Daoism.

It just means like caring and compassion. Like upside down? Let me see it. I really didn't see it. I was just messing with you. CTZ. This is what you shouldn't be doing. Don't be reading people's text.

I'm demonstrating what not to do. I drew it myself, so he's not gonna get it. What is that? Is that a, does that say dirt? C-T-Z-I-U. T-Z apostrophe U. Oh, just a T-Z apostrophe U. And then this way.

Oh. N-l-up. and then this way. Oh. N-luh-luh-luh. It's initials. N-L-U-P. M-B-P. M- yes, M-B-P. I see that. So listen, don't worry about regretting tattoos. Oh.

She was 18. I was 18. Hey, it goes both ways. It does. It says nothing in both directions. It says nothing in both directions, yes. I mean, it could've just been mom with a heart. Could have. That's boring.

That's boring. It's boring. It does look cool. Not that that's a bad thing, anyone has those tattoos? It looks cool, it looks cool. I mean, I'm not happy with every single thing about, I wouldn't have put Jade here if I was gonna put so many plants all the way around my whole arm.

Yeah, yeah. But it's fine. You know how things are planned out. I think you gotta start small, you gotta start in a non, in a semi-visible or non-visible place. And then you just work your way into it. You gotta ease into it. Yeah, usually the small ones I usually see people get are like, like first tattoos, or

like a small one on the wrist on the ankle sometimes you'll see on on the side like a little depends on how visible you want it just if you do your sides it does hurt around the ribs if you want something less painful I thought you were pointing... if you want something less painful. Let me look right here! Face tattoo. Never regret that. You're gonna wanna pick a little meatier spot. Like my thighs did not hurt at all. I took a nap for both of them. My ass hurt. Your ass hurt? Oh yeah.

Cheek. Yeah, cause you got... that was your first. That was my first one. I was shocked with how much it hurt. But then you... and then it's... and you think because it's little, it's just... I'm just getting it over with. But when it gets bigger, and you're like, alright, I'm accepting what's happening, and I'm just gonna have to like settle into it, is different than... That's the thing about the small one is that like,

I'm just gonna grin and bear and get over it, but it's really a trial to see if you can just sit there and embrace it. Yeah. As some form of like controlled pain. You're okay. Yeah. You're okay.

It's like taking a cold shower. You're okay. You don't really wanna be here right now feeling this, but you're okay. It's like taking a cold shower. You're okay. You don't really want to be here right now feeling this, but you're okay. Yeah. It's all okay. Get it small. Yeah, a little small one. I'm a fan of the ass cheek. I think that's a good... I mean, it hurts, but... And then you kind of gotta be vulnerable on the table, because you gotta pull out your ass cheek.

Ass out, yeah. You gotta think about how you're gonna be on the table. Yeah. Because the one on my sternum... I just pulled my britches down. The one on my sternum and the one on my side, like, out. Just out. Your boobie was out? Yep. And was there tape on it? Um, I was like covering it.

You were holding it the whole time? Yeah, I was holding it. You should have put tape on it. It wasn't long. The one that I have here is a friendship tattoo, and that didn't take that long. Okay. What do you think about those tattoos where it's two people and then if one person like touches the other person somewhere, their tattoo continues? I think those are cute. I think those are cute. I like those. I like those. That's not what my friendship tattoo is,. I think those are cute. I like those.

I like those. That's not what my friendship tattoo is, but I think those are cute. Like I saw one, it was a guy grabbing, like it was on his hand and on her arm, and then it was like it went across his hand. Oh, that's interesting. That's unique, yeah. I think one of those is good because then if you break up, then you just fill in that gap. Yeah, you could fill in the gap. Think about, don't tell him that,

but just design it that way. Where he's the gap. Yeah. He fills the gap, but then if he goes away, he finds somebody else to fill the gap. Yeah, you could fill in that gap yourself. Or fill it in yourself or find somebody else. Yeah, I think that's it.

Yep, and you're a school teacher. I think you could maybe do that with some of your favorite students. Just have your favorite students grab you in a tattoo parlor and then have the tattoo artist just go all across the kids and your arm. And you can do the whole class. Like, you'd be connected forever. Yeah, maybe let the kids help design the tattoo. There you go. Get the kids to design it, and this part will be on them,

this part will be on you. That's it. They're not getting tattoos. That's it. Yeah. Or, if you don't wanna tattoo the kids, which is your problem, then get all of, get your favorite student's names, or all the class, tattooed on your ass cheek. It's a long list.

It can be small. 20 kids. 16 if you're lucky. 24 if you're not. You know. Still only one cheek. You know? You're holding out hope for a better class, you know? I just went and like imagined... Better class for the left ass. I just went and like imagined someone's ass cheek with just a list. Isn't that it? Yeah.

That's a weird thing to explain to anyone who can see that. This was my favorite class. I taught middle school math. These are my favorite students right here on my ass cheek. That's a strange thing to explain to a partner. Mm-hmm. Because who's gonna see the ass cheek? Or a principal. I mean, do you get fired for that? I don't know. I don't know, actually.

Again, your problem. It's yours to show or not. You know, what's the principal gonna do? I need to take a look at your ass cheek. Then he'll. Again, your problem. It's yours to show or not. You know, what's the principal gonna do? I need to take a look at your ass cheek. Then he'll get fired, or she. The principal will get fired if they ask to see your ass cheeks. So you got them. Yeah. Mm-hmm. So that is a good spot.

So I think they ask to see your ass, you get fired, then you let them know what happened, then they get fired. Yeah. And then these kids are just left uneducated. And you're left with their names tattooed on you. Now's a good time to say, if you want clarity or advice on anything, call us. Yeah. 1-888-EARPOD1 Do you approve? Did you have a good time?
