And I'm Dizzy. Yeah. So just moments ago, right when we rolled the cameras, Link said, why is the room spinning? And just to give you a couple, just a review of the reactions, Jenna immediately got concerned and began asking questions like, how much water have you had to drink? Do you need to lie down? Et cetera. And what I said was, let's get this! Let's roll right now! He might faint. We might get it on camera. Well, it's like the room, it didn't spin. It's just like all of a sudden, it's like the earth tilted on its axis. And then I'm like, huh, why is everything doing that?

And then I look over at you, and you're like clamoring to start the timer. Yeah, yeah. This week at the Roundtable of Dim Lighting, we are diagnosing my vertigo. I have, you know... Have you had vertigo sessions? I've had a couple of things that have happened to me. First of all, many years ago, I had that thing where, like,

I had an inner, like a middle... Remember that middle ear deposit? I had, like, classic vertigo, and it was caused by this like, just like a little piece of, I'll call it a little piece of sand. Like one of the floaty things. Part of an Orby.

Inside of your. It never got out. You know, inside of your ear, you got these like loops. And I had to get my physical therapist on the phone and like, I did this special treatment Remember where I like movements right? Yeah

a series of movements based on the infrastructure of the ear where I got the little piece of sand to Traverse back to where it should have been and that was I mean that was a permanent piece of sand is supposed to be in the air Yeah, like there's pieces of things. But it's not sand. No, it's like... It isn't like a bird that takes rocks and digests them to like do something.

No, it's a biological piece of sand. Yes, biological pieces of stuff in there that are actually what helps interpret balance. I'm sure the ENTs listening. Are loving it. Just loving how accurate this is. First of all, shout out to all the ENTs listening. I gotta throw some love to them. They got three things to keep up with.

Right. I mean, ears, noses, and throats. That's right, Rhett. That is what it stands for. When you think about it. Yeah. I mean, they could just be a whole doctor, and then it could be like, you could add more.

Well, they don't- ENTBs. They don't even take care of the mouth. They take care of the throat. The whole part is for somebody else's job. Yeah. That's the dentist's job. But right now, I'm still evaluating whether I'm all right. So thanks for your continued

concern. I think I'm all right. It was just kind of like- Well, we'll find out. It was this ear, but when I went scuba diving, the next night I had inner ear, middle ear barotrauma. Like I could not clear, I could not equalize for two days. And that was very discombobulating. But that was my left ear. This is kind of in my right ear. So was the tilting of the earth the same thing that you had with the sand piece missing, moved? The sand piece was...

Spinning? Absolute spinning to the point of like fast spinning. Wow. Not even slow. This is like, you know, if you have too much to drink and all of a sudden you sit up and then everything just... That's what this just felt like. It was kind of slow, but I can still see out of both my eyes. I'm good. I'm good. We're here. We're rolling. I think I'm good. I mean, I've been snowboarding the past two eyes. I'm good. I'm good. We're here. We're rolling. I think I'm good. I mean, I've been snowboarding the past two days. I do want to tell you about that.

I missed your post, your delayed New Year's Eve party. My delayed gratification party. Like the way later than New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve party. And I'm interested. I have some questions for you about that because Christy went to it and told me about it. Yeah, I'm interested, I have some questions for you about that. Okay. Because Christy went to it and told me about it. Yeah, I'm interested in her perspective because I was, I got some feedback from a couple of people that intrigued me. Okay.

I do want to tell you about something that, I don't know if you've experienced this yet in Los Angeles, this particular thing that I'm going to tell you about, but I know that you would like it. Bring it then. I love LA because there's always things that you can find out about. This is a big town.

If you're not in LA, you might not know that there has been somewhat of a burger renaissance. Uh-oh. I'm all ears now. Los Angeles has become the place to get the best burgers in the world, I believe. Now, I believe that this burger renaissance is probably taking place in multiple places in the United States. But there's a bit of a battle in Los Angeles for the best smash burger, right?

I love a good smash burger. And I like all burgers, but smash burger, definitely my favorite. They're the best because they're so thin. Like, I'm just not a fan of the thick burger. And then you get a thin burger and a slice of cheese, and then it's like, if you want it thick, we'll just add another thin burger and another slice of cheese. Well, that is exactly what I experienced yesterday, as a matter of fact.

That burger is still with me right now. Just like your little piece of sand that's moving around your ear, that little burger is in my body, moving around. It's turning into something much less appealing. I don't want to talk about that. Why do we always end up talking about digestion? We're not. Sorry. Smash burgers are my weakness. I mean, it may be my favorite food. I don't...

I have a place... So much better than pizza to me. Well, okay, don't speak sacrilege, son. I know Christy would hate me for saying that, but... Pizza's not my thing. It's... Well, I get to a certain place, and I can't imagine putting anything better in my mouth. Well, in terms of food.

And there's this peak that gets hit. Sometimes it's pizza. Sometimes it's chicken tikka masala. Sometimes it's a burger. Tikka masala. I hit the roof of possibility of culinary enjoyment, and I hit it yesterday. And it actually was the second choice. So Shepard has been telling me about a place called

Burgers Never Say Die. So if you look at top 10 burgers in LA, you see there's multiple trucks and restaurants and best smash burger, I'm saying. Yes. And a lot of them are like on the West side or like getting into Hollywood and I was like, or West Hollywood, I was like,

too far from the drive. It was too far for me. And, but he had spent some time with a friend in the Los Feliz area. And I think this place is in Silver Lake. This burgers never say die. And I pick him up and we're all ready to go. And, you know, I didn't like call ahead or anything.

I didn't think about the fact that it was a holiday. They were closed. Oh, they were closed. Huh. And I was disappointed, but then I was like, Shepard, we got Smashburger on the brain. We've got to just find the next one. So I did a little search in the area and up pops-

You searched second best Smashburger in the area? I just searched Smashburger on Yelp and this other place came up and I realized, at least on Yelp, it had more reviews and a higher rating than Burgers Never Say Die. And I saw the name of it and I realized, at least on Yelp, it had more reviews and a higher rating than Burgers Never Say Die. And I saw the name of it and I was like, for the win, which is an interesting name, for the win.

I've heard about this place. It's also on the lists. Let's go in there. I haven't been to either one of these places. I feel so stupid. Yeah, you are stupid for yeah, for not doing this. And so was I until yesterday, Link. For the win was open.

You would love it. Oh, it was so open. Did you take a picture? Can you show me a picture? I was about to take a picture, but then I realized that the pictures that I had seen on the internet were better than the one that I was about to take.

Of course. But the signature of this thing, which I'll show you, which you will really, really like. Onions? Um... Let me see if I can... Onions in the burger? Some of them do that. There's like a certain type of smash burger with the onions. Oh my lord.

So as you can see, there's so much... The patty comes out an inch. Spilling out of that bun. The diameter of the patty is two inches larger. The radius is one inch larger. You understand how diameter and radius work? And you want that edge of the meat to be a little crispy. And you can get a single, a double, or a triple.

I'm not a crazy person. I got a double. And the thing, as you were describing about a double, is that these burgers are so thin, I don't know how they're still together, but they just put them on top of each other so you have this crazy amount of surface area for whatever happens, the char on the grill. Yes. And they serve them all the same way. Burger, cheese.

Grilled onions. Yeah. Their burger sauce. Yep, which is probably like their secret Thousand Island type thing. And pickles. And that's the only three things they put on there. Now, they've got like ketchup and mustard and stuff that you could like put on at your seat, but you know, I'm not going to do that.

I'm not going to defile it. Two things about Smash Burger is that tell you that Link thinks they're amazing. First of all, pickles. I have never been a pickle person. Like, for all of my days eating Big Macs, and Big Mac ain't a bad burger. I mean, it's not.

I mean, I don't want to eat them all the time because then you'll come to realize that they're not a great burger. But sometimes, if you get a good Big Mac, it's not bad. But I've always... Don't just keep showing me pickles. That's with bacon. I didn't get But I've always, don't just keep showing me pictures of Smash Burger. That's with bacon.

I didn't get the bacon one. I don't believe you need bacon on a Smash Burger. You don't need bacon on a good Smash Burger. Because this is what I'm getting at with the pickles. I would always take the pickles off my Big Mac or any burger because it's kind of distracting. But a really good Smash Burger is so greasy and juicy that you need something to cut it. And pickles are the perfect thing. And I'm coming around to the world of pickles because of it. This is the one...

I mean, it's just oozing with... This is exactly what my burger looked like. There's grease coming off your screen, dude. Jamie, this is the one that I want you to... So their Instagram is ForTheWinLA. Paint? You want Jamie to paint it? See that one right there? Can you do a painting? Yes. I actually... What if I did a painting? That would be cool. But I'll put it next to that picture. Yeah, that's

the one. I'll take a little screenshot of that. Okay. So that's what my burger looked like. I got a burger, I got fries, and they had milkshakes. The chocolate was out. I got strawberry. Shepard got vanilla. The second thing that lets you know that Link is a Smash Burger Boy is,

I have gone through the trouble to learn how to prepare my own. Yeah, that's questionable. No, no, I've done the same thing. I'm just saying that- What? I'm a pretty dang good cook and I can't get close to this. I'm not saying how good it is. I'm just saying I have put forth the effort to

actually say, I'm gonna make smash burgers for my family. Hey, kids, do you wanna invite a friend over? I'm gonna make smash burgers for your friends as well. Let me let you consider an analogy real quick. I don't think you understand my point. If you go to Italy. I'm not bragging. If you go to Italy and you see, no, you're not bragging. I'm just saying the reason that I have stopped making smash burgers for people in my life.

Yeah. Is that if you go to Italy and you see Michelangelo's David, right? Wherever that is, somewhere. Yeah. And you look at it and you notice the incredible craftsmanship and you notice the small penis and the other parts of it that are just so exquisite. And then you say to yourself, I'm going to go back to my house and I'm going to make this. That would be an asinine thing to think, right? Where are you going to get the marble? You don't

know. You're not trained. It's gonna take forever, you don't have the time. Just go and look at David when you wanna see David. Of all the things that I don't cook, which is everything, I love them so much that I wanna have it in my own house. And I want, and I feel like I could do it. Now, I do a decent, too good. Do you see how thin the edges of this are?

You've never... Look at that. You've never had a smash burger in my house. Okay, well, I mean, okay. But those are great. The bun is perfect. Those ingredients are perfect. Why is anybody making a burger that's not a smash burger?

There's people starting burger restaurants in different places, and they're not making these. It's a different thing, Link. It's the best thing. Yeah, but it's like saying thin crust pizza and deep dish pizza. I see them as different foods. So a thick- And we'll probably

get worn out. A thick, I have a preference. I like a smash burger better, but if I go to a restaurant and they have a thick burger and that's the burger option and everybody's like, you'll love this burger. I've loved many a thick burger. I've loved a restaurant and they have a thick burger and that's the burger option and everybody's like, you'll love this burger. I've loved many a thick burger. I've loved a lot of thick burgers.

But you know, I've lusted after smash burgers. There's a slight difference, but I appreciate both, both things. And you don't have to worry about, does the chef think that it needs to be like medium rare? Like that burger we got last week at lunch. And it was a damn good burger. But it wasn't cooked enough, even for me. Yeah, and I was just like-

It wasn't medium rare, it was- Rare. It was rare. It was way on the rare side. You don't have to worry about that with a smite burger. You gotta try it. For the win. I'm not a good judge of milkshakes. I know that you have particular opinions about milkshakes. I'm kinda like, this is a good milkshake, but I don't judge milkshakes. I'll just be, I know that you have particular opinions about milkshakes. I'm kind of

like, it's a good milkshake, but I don't like, I don't judge milkshakes hard. So I can't tell you whether or not their milkshakes are great. Their fries are very much like In-N-Out, going for the same thing in terms of thin. You need to put some salt on them probably if you really want to have a good time. You need to eat them fresh kind of thing. The burgers are the thing that they have perfected. Now I gotta go to this burgers never say die because Shepherd was like, I don't know which one's better. They're pretty similar.

Let's go there today. I can't have two burgers in a row, man. Two days, two burgers? A lot of red meat. What are you trying to do to me? You gotta cut down on the red meat. Maybe this is happening other places in America. I don't know, but it's happening in LA

and it's like an arms race. Let's me and you have a little burger date. Next time we feel like we've earned a right, we're gonna go and get us one of these smash burgers. It can be like our Valentine's day. Valentine's day is coming up. Okay. So me and you are gonna to go to get a burger

on Valentine's Day. Yep. For every year for the rest of our lives. There might be a, maybe we just need a burger day. Maybe,

is there an international burger day? I want it to be Valentine's Day. Well, I think I might have plans for my wife. Well,

it doesn't have to be on the day. You know, me and Lily have a thing every Valentine's Day. And, of course, me and Christy have something.

But the 14th is not sacred to us. Oh, okay. As long as it's within the season. The month of February? Yeah. Then we can get our burger. And you know what? We have our own little burger Valentine's Day.

Because if we just have a burger date and it's like, y'all have a date? It's like, yeah, but it's Valentine's Day. Oh, okay. Is that better? Okay. Yeah. I mean, whatever you want. Makes it. If you wanna go get a burger in February,

and you want it to be a Valentine's Day thing, that's awesome. Every year, and I wanna look forward to it. Do we only get to go get burgers in February? Yeah, it's a baseline. I need to know that once a year it's gonna happen. I'm sitting in a bar low, man. We gotta start somewhere.

I need to warn you how messy I got, how messy my face got. This beard and that burger, I almost felt embarrassed. I was glad I was facing the wall, let me tell you that much. That's the beauty of us having this date, is that we're not attracted to each other. And we don't care what each other looks like. There's no romance.

This is the thing. It's not that I think you're attracted to me. It's platonic. To see the amount of burger sauce that got into my beard when I ate that burger, I think it would be unappetizing. I think I would need to face away from you. I don't look at you. Or maybe we go in shifts.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You stand outside while I eat. There you go. No, actually, you eat first because I'm still going to have burger on my face when I come back out. I don't want that to be the last thing you see. Go in it. All right, you go in.

I'm going to go in first. You go in after me. That's how our date works. I mean, I had to go get, I had to find water. A napkin was not enough. Wait, were you in the desert? You had to find water. I had to wet a napkin.

I had to make my own wet wipe in order to get out of there without looking like a fool. I highly recommend it. Yeah, so our burger date, we will eat the burgers in shifts. We will not be seen together having a burger date. What are you guys doing? We're on a Valentine's Day date. Well, actually, I mean, he's in there right now eating a burger.

I'll be in it in a little bit. Right. Okay. Hey, you guys, speaking of love, speaking of Valentine's Day, this would be a wonderful thing for you to get for yourself or for the one that you love. It is the Cotton Candy Randy, what are we calling this? It's a Valentine's Day tee.

It's, I don't know what we're calling it. You know, it doesn't matter what you call it. It's a t-shirt. This says, will you eat my chocolate from Randy. I made it myself and I won't say how. Right. A little bit gross, but you know us. And here's the thing.

You can also get, like, Valentine's card postcards that are part of this collection. You can actually physically give somebody this as a Valentine. Available at mythical.com.

Jenna, can you throw me that box of tissue, nose tissue? Is it empty? I'm going to throw it. I don't trust him. I don't want to hit a camera. You're in athletic mode today. Oh, I son of a... Right on cue.

Jenna about took out her entire desk by trying to walk through it to get back to her seat. That was an athletic move, though. Are you dizzy, too? No, I caught everything. Nothing fell. You're an athletic motor day. Yeah, very fast. You're an athletic motor day.

Blah, blah, blah, blah. The only better timing that I've ever seen, I have to tell this story because it reminds me so much of it, and you just experienced a fraction of it, was the time my brother-in-law, Chris, had just been at my brother's house and had repaired a broken rocking chair, a rocking chair that had been completely multiple pieces. Like an antique, an older one?

He spent some time, 20, 30 minutes or whatever, like piecing it back together. And then he sits in the chair and he starts rocking in the chair and everybody's like, Chris! You did it, you made it! And then his wife, Ashley, says, he's pretty handy. And literally as she finished the word handy, the entire chair collapsed. And he fell to the floor and It was like, it was like a cartoon. Yeah, boom, all the way to the floor, rocking chair everywhere. It's pretty handy.

Boom! It's one of my favorite moments in life that I've experienced. He is pretty handy though. So you're in, you know, we don't make a practice of commenting on each other's ensembles, usually. I mean, well. We don't. But I do.

But Jenna does. You might be the most likely to do so. You're in athletic mode today. Yeah, thank you. It's to make myself go to the gym after work. Oh, yeah. I'm already in the outfit. I'm ready.

I'm going to go do it. I thought you might be a part of a location scout today. Oh, okay. When I saw you in the parking lot, you were waiting, and I was like, okay, they must be going in location scouting today. I'm in mobility mode. I like that. I like that. I like to have different modes.

I'm coming off of two days of snowboarding. And I want to tell you about it because I just, I have some thoughts about it. I went with Lincoln and one of my boys from the scooter club, one of the guys. Fellow snowboarder? A fellow snowboarder? Is also a snowboarder. He had plans to go with his daughter this past weekend, and then she had to bail. And so then he was like, hey, I got this condo. I'm still going. I got another bed.

Does anybody else want to go? And my big Christmas present to myself was a snowboard. And Lincoln's big Christmas present was a snowboard. And actually the reason why we bought snowboards was my friend Will was like talking it up because, you know, I'd switched to skiing. Many years ago when you decided to switch to skiing and you were like, you know, it's like, this is going to, this is going to take us into our old age. You know, it's like, you can't be a snowboarder forever. You gotta be skiing is the future. To be specific, for me.

For you. I wasn't telling you that you needed to switch. But I was listening. I switched because of my back. Skiing, harder on the knees, better on the back. Snowboarding, harder on the back, easier on the back. Snowboarding harder on the back, easier on the knees. Okay.

That might be a rough generalization, but you fall on your butt a lot, and if you catch an edge, the way that it messes with my lower back, snowboarding, I just kinda had to give it up. Even though I really liked it. I liked it more than skiing. I felt like I wanted to make that transition, and you know, it would be a good time to do it along with you and then we're like the kids were learning kind of trying to learn how to ski and this is like what over the past decade maybe maybe eight years um but then he was like the last spring

break trip that we took Lincoln and his friends tried snowboarding Lincoln absolutely loved it and then I tried it one Lincoln absolutely loved it and then I tried it one day remember I told you and I was like see if it would come back from like all the years I snowboarded that's I've still snowboarded a lot more years than I have skied and was immediately still better than skiing so I was like man this is still more fun and so then my friend Will was like you know you can get us if you Will was like, you know, you can get a – if you're getting a snowboard kit now, you can get one of these where it's like you can step right in, like step-ons.

There's no straps. Right. You just – you got this nice boot that then goes into this special binding and it hooks in the heel and then hooks on either side of your front, your toes, the right and left. So you just kind of click in and then you don't have to sit your butt down on the snow and like do all the straps and all this stuff. And that would be essential to me because also the sitting down and then standing up is just tired in the snow. snow is really hard on my back as well. So that's what we got.

How do you get out of it? There's a little lever on the outside of the back heel and you just pull it up and let it- So you have to bend down and grab that. You just kinda, you can do that while you're still going. You're getting back to the lift and- But you're squatting down to do that? No, you just bend over.

I mean, how do you touch your heel? You bend over. With a ski pole. Yes, you have to bend over. Yeah, yeah. I'm just saying I try to minimize the amount of that. I pull the- I'm just gauging this for myself. Pull the lever up on my back foot, my trailing foot,

and then your heel comes out, and then you twist your front feet, and it comes out, and it's like the simplest thing ever. Okay. There's no getting used to it. Like the first run that we took down the mountain, I was shaky

because it had been almost a year since I've snowboarded. Like, you know, you gotta get your mojo back. Did you bust at all? The first time you did it, did you bust?

No. Because you were just going slow and like keeping it. Yeah, just taking it easy. But it was, there wasn't a material difference in the experience of like these step-ons versus like having normal bindings, like

super happy with it. And the boots that you're in, are they stiffer than a normal snowboard boot? Yeah, a little bit. But they're not like a ski boot. No. The ankles are not stiff.

No, no, no. Just the bottoms. It's just like you tighten, I mean, you want it to be very rigid and very tight, but the way that you have these, this boa system is what they call it, where it's like wires that like,

you like crank down these knobs and it like pulls it all together. And like the technology is just amazing. And so it was very exciting to have these things and like to try out our Christmas gifts. And we're on the lift and like, Lincoln doesn't emote a lot. He's not talkative in general.

And if he's really enjoying something, he doesn't gush. You kind of have to, like, really listen closely and realize that, oh, this is middle child Lincoln's version of gushing. We're on the lift going up. We had done, like, a few runs on the first day. And he was like, Dad, what do you think the best thing ever is to do? And I was like, this is pretty good. Maybe this is up here.

He's like, I think this is it. Wow, that's a hearty endorsement. It makes me feel good. I ushered him into this world, and he's like, I love it. We scuba dived together. We did that in New Zealand. We're doing the snowboarding together. I got him into the one wheels just like Shepard does.

Did he say that one wheeling translates well to snowboarding? Because that's what Shepard has read. That's why he wants to do it. It does. Because it's a one wheel theme. Yeah. It certainly helps. I mean, you still don't have the edge the edge experience um with snowboarding you got to know your it's all about you know

carving on your edges and stuff but it's the same feel so yeah i think it definitely helps um but i was like yeah what what is the best thing, like the best experience? And the more I thought about it, I was like, well, you know, a mountain bike a lot is convenient. I don't have to drive like five hours to do it like I do for snowboarding. I don't have to, you know, scuba diving is really amazing. It's otherworldly. really amazing, it's otherworldly, but you do just like, you do a day trip, it has a couple of dives, and so you're dedicating this whole day for like two or three 45 to 60 minute experiences. But by the time you get to like a mountain, and if it's decent or good conditions,

not even like great and most fabulous, it may be the best activity. It's just so much fun to be on the mountain, man, to be snowboarding. We had so much fun. I love it. I'm realizing how it's, So I'm ranking snowboarding. I'm agreeing with Lincoln. I think I'm ranking it number one for me.

When you say activities... With clothes on. Okay. That is what I was like, son. I was like... I just wanted to clarify. Activities with clothes on. I think that snowboarding is now my number one.

I think mountain biking may... You can do a lot with your clothes on. May be my number two. But you know... Why don't you just say non-sexual? Yeah, I'll just say non-sexual. Outside of sex, snowboarding is it for you. Better than eating? Oh, 100% better than eating.

Oh, no, yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah. Number one, sex. Number two, eating. And then we get into the physical activities. For me, okay, for me, I'll put sex is number one. I'm going to put snowboarding as number two i'm going to put and i want to hear your list i'm going to put mountain biking at

number three is a close shave above scuba diving because scuba diving is just so amazing uh but it's i don't know if i'm prepared to make a list here. You gotta make a list because I wanna know what's, and you can put food on this list. I'm putting food on my list. Scuba diving. You can put food after mountain biking? And then after, oh, definitely. A smash burger that we just talked about?

I would, I would, the way that you feel about clothes that you would wear the same outfit every day is the way that I feel about clothes that you would wear the same outfit every day is the way that I feel about food. I would give up. As long as I liked it, I would eat my smoothie every day, every meal, and just get it over with. I do enjoy food, but I observe how people who really enjoy food, like you.

Well, I'm jealous of you. And Christy really enjoys food. When you really enjoy food, it can make discipline very difficult. I don't, yeah, I don't have that. So then after that, I'm going to put food. No, I will say. No, I think I'm going to put naps before food. You can't just eat Smash Burgers all day, though.

What I'm saying is that not a cumulative experience, but when you get that Smash Burger and when you take that first bite and then maybe the next four to six bites, that period of time, which I recognize is, for me, it's about 45 seconds. We're talking sub-minute here. That's an incredible minute. Now, I can't-

Hold on, are we talking about sex now? Yeah, yeah. I can't sustain, talking about burgers, I can't... Hold on. Are we talking about sex now? Yeah, yeah. I can't sustain... I'm talking about burgers. I can't sustain that for very long. So scuba diving, cumulative experience is much more pleasurable time. I don't know how to measure that. It's like measuring what is work.

Is it the amount of weight that you move over? There is a definition, I can't remember, because we make internet videos now. But like, the amount of time that you put in. Force over distance or time. Yeah, time. I don't know. I don't know. So pleasure can be measured in some sort of similar

by some metric that time. But we are now... Slight pleasure forever. We are now ranking pleasure experiences. And you know what? Jenna, Jamie, if you want to develop your list, you can throw it in here. I am now developing mine as my number one

is sex in every form. All the sexuals. Okay. Activities. Every form? Every form that I enjoy. I mean, okay, then I'm going to put snowboarding. That was starting to seem weird.

Yeah. Because now we're adding like food and naps and everything into it. And then after snowboarding, I think I'm going to put naps with my dogs. I'm calling that a thing. What about surfing? Okay, I'll take that into account. I'm now moving naps with my dogs up to number three. And then I'm putting mountain biking, and then I'm putting scuba diving just on the heels of that.

And then I'm putting mountain biking, and then I'm putting scuba diving just on the heels of that. And then I'm putting eating. The most pleasurable foods to me. Okay. And then after that. What about getting a massage? You really like those? Then after that, I'm going to put a massage. I think you like massages more than eating, based on what I've seen.

Yeah, because if I'm really hungry, I won't eat before a massage. You ever try eating during a massage? No. I don't like to eat right before a massage. You don't want to do that. Well, let's get a restaurant going. Smash burger. Oh, smash you back burger?

We mash you back while we're smashing the burger. Smash. So it would just be mash burgers. And we feed the burger. And you're the thing mashed. We feed the burger through the hole that your face is coming down through. But it's toward the second half of the massage. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Well, it's once they start your face. Where we're at, you start face up. What do you mean where we're at? Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, it's once they, well, they start you face, where we're at, you start face up. What do you mean where we're at? Oh, at our restaurant. Typically you start face down and then turn face up. We start the massage face up. Yeah. And we turn you over, give you a burger.

Yeah, okay, yeah. You finish with a milkshake. Right. Right. Right through the hole. Yeah. We'll look into it. So what is your list? Who's prepared to go next?

You can add anything to it. What's your number one? This isn't how my brain works. My brain doesn't organize pleasurable experiences. It brings them all, just like burgers or foods, to a place where I am in a certain state. So are you talking about like you want you like to have a rotation where it's like you give them all? No, I'm saying-

It's like they're your babies and you're giving them all attention? I'm saying that my pleasure receptors are pinged fully at certain states. You have to rank them, dude. I'm making you. No, I don't have to rank them dude I'm making you I don't have to rank them So Catching a wave And again I'm much more about

What is the moment Within the experience Because every single thing That you've mentioned Requires Like Mountain biking Requires

A lot of work To get to the top of the mountain Before you start having fun That's the problem with it And now It makes that moment That much more fun Because it's that much more it. And now it makes that moment that much more fun because it's that much more rewarding,

but it's hell getting up the mountain, right? Scuba diving, like you said, especially in California, especially if you're on a boat going out to a good spot, the time, the preparation, the equipment, just getting the damn equipment on. Potential sickness. Nausea. For that moment. That's why eating is so much easier equipment, just getting the damn equipment on. Potential sickness, nausea.

For that moment. That's why eating is so much easier because all I gotta do is just go into a restaurant. It's no work. I drove there. I didn't climb to it. Yeah, I mean. You know what I'm saying? You just have to pay for it.

That's the only sacrifice. Catching a wave, which I'm not a good surfer. You're a better surfer than me and you're not a good surfer. You're a better surfer than me, and you're not a good surfer. I suck at it. And I'm worse than you. And, but when you get a wave, and like that time I got a wave and a dolphin took it with me.

Yes, but you're thinking about just that moment. That moment. I'm not actually- I can't- I'm asking you to- I hit the ceiling. Rank activities. I can't do it. Not moments. I can't do it, Not moments. I can't do it.

But what I am interested in, because you're really tempting me to try to snowboard. I know, dude. But I just don't know. You're still so much better at it than skiing. I got a lot better at skiing. I want to pause this. I got better at skiing. I want to put a I want to pause this. I got better at skiing.

I want to put a pin in this conversation. I'm pretty good at skiing. I want to have this conversation, but I want to finish the ranking conversation, and if you're not going to participate, I will find others who will. I refuse to participate because it would be dishonest. Okay.

Can you all help me out here? I mean, you don't, however you want to do it. Is there something we're missing? What's like? I mean, well, I think you're right. I think most people are going to put sex first because, I mean, come on. That's just great. I personally cannot snowboard or ski.

I have tried, and I don't have that. You don't have to compare your list of mine. I like jet skiing a lot. Jet skiing. Jet skiing is fun. Jet skiing is Jamie's number two. Well, no. It goes sex eating jet skiing.

Okay. Because I'm all about food. Like, if I could just, like, if I could never get fat, like, I would just eat constantly would be what I would do. But jet skiing? I think it's really fun

because you go really fast. You're on a vehicle thing, but you're in the water. I like being in the water, and I like going fast. And, like, so that's really fun because you go really fast you're on a vehicle thing but you're in the water i like being in the water and i like going fast and like so that's really fun and i really liked um uh atv riding in the sand dunes that's fun too yeah that's that's super fun and that's like i mean it took me a minute to get used to but once i got used to it you're like oh there's so many possibilities where do you go jet ski i gotta get christy on a jet ski. San Diego, like in Mission Bay. Yeah.

It's like super fun over there. You can go by that big boat, the something USS something. Yeah, the battleship. Yeah. You see where my mind goes as you talk about these things. And incidentally, this is where the idea

for the Seven Seals of Satisfaction came from in Buddy System Season 2. This is... Doing them all at once. Yeah, yeah, yeah. When you talk about... You said sex, eating, and jet skiing, and I immediately just pictured myself doing all three at the same time.

I don't know why. Right. But again, I'm trying to maximize the moment. You start wanting me to put this into a list, and I just started wanting to combine the things and create a new experience. That would be awesome. Sex ski. Yeah, if you could do that, if there was a way to stay on the jet ski

and do all of those things, how amazing would that experience be? I think you could do both. You can definitely eat on a jet ski. What is that called? I mean, you're talking about getting a massage? Well, sex ski is having sex on a jet ski. Yeah. It's like sex ski brunch having sex on a jet ski. Yeah. It's like sex ski brunch.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. With a mimosa. Yeah, I mean, if I could put drinking in there, that's probably rounding out number five. Yeah, we didn't put drinking. Okay. Jenna, what are you bringing to this? Put you on the spot here.

I don't think I could rank either, because I'm one of those, like, if I would rank it i'd rank it on like the new experiences i've tried like it's always the new thing like uh when i when i did like you know when i went skydiving i was like that was like the best thing but i did it once and maybe I'll do it again. But it's not like. You don't want to do it every weekend. No, no. Something I would do every weekend. Sex and eating every weekend.

I'm a skier. I'm not a snowboarder. I tried snowboarding and my knees didn't like me at all. So skiing is much easier on my body there's something about being on the on the mountain and it can be so quiet like the snow makes everything so quiet and if you're at a space with like good conditions and not a lot of people i mean if you can find yourself on a slope, like, just on your own, or just with, like, a loved one or something.

You can't do that at Big Bear. You have to go to Mammoth to do that. We were at Mammoth, and it was still, you know, you're not going to find that much space. But there's just something totally zen about it. It's totally peaceful, and you can be in your own world and Jenna like you're saying it's just knowing knowing the parameters of your body and working within like they they you know they always push ski within your ability you know you don't want to damage yourself or hurt

other people I mean that's one of the major ways people get injured is like collisions but if you can just make up your mind and i'm really doing a much better job at this now that i've revisited snowboarding like the way that we used to snowboard was like the way that you used to balls to the wall that's literally what i've always exercised caution because i've been so injury prone so yeah i never pushed it like you did. But I felt like if I wasn't achieving something or getting really good and pulling off some sort of trick that I wasn't doing it right. And now, you know, I'm a middle-aged man.

So are you jumping at all? No, uh-uh. I'm carving and I'm just like, it feels like I'm painting with my feet. It's just, it can be the most relaxing and rewarding. And you can get into a, what's it called? A zone, a flow state. You can get into a flow state on a jet ski, I bet.

Yeah, as long as there's like not a lot of boats around, I think so. Okay, but let's talk about this. Flow state. Let's talk about this snowboarding versus skiing. Because do you think that if you had gotten, you didn't ski as much as I did. Once we started skiing, I went maybe five or six times more than you did. Yeah, I never got good enough. I could do, like, I mean, I could, you know, go down a black, but it would be completely pointless for me to do it because I'm just, like, skidding the whole time to go slow.

But, like, blues, you know, blues and like whatever between, some places have blue between blue and black. Yeah, like a blue-black thing. But mostly like blues, and like, not going too fast. Like you said, just carving. I got where I was having a really good time. I will say though, the thing that never leaves my mind, and I think this might be something that keeps me from having a great time, is just the thought of eating it. Yeah. Running into somebody, having someone run into me, hitting a weird patch. And, yeah, you know, I got, when I got my concussion on a

snowboard, it was because I caught an edge. And it's just like catching an edge with a snowboard is much easier to do than it is with skis. Yeah, just like you can get slammed. And well, I guess my question before I go into that, it's like, if you had gotten good enough at skiing, do you think you could reach a flow state? Or do you think- Yeah, definitely. Definitely.

Right, I'm just trying to make sure there's not a definitive difference because you see the people, you think you could reach a flow state? Yeah, definitely. Definitely. Right. I'm just trying to make sure there's not a definitive difference because you see the people. There's something about being in that position, which is like a skateboard slash one wheel slash surf position. Yeah.

It obviously looks cooler because culturally it's cooler to be in that position because of the other sports that are associated with it. So I think that's why Shepard wants to do it. That's why Lincoln wants to do of the other sports that are associated with it. So that's, I think that's why Shepard wants to do it.

That's why Lincoln wants to do it. Like, I think that teams want to do it because it's clearly cooler than skiing, right? I just want to do it because I can, I'm better at it

and I can enjoy it versus with skiing I'm still trying to get to a point. I want to believe that, I'm tempted to believe that it's more fun than skiing.

But I can't let myself believe that too much because I just don't think it's worth the risk. Well, when we go together on a ski trip, now, because I can just step in, you're not waiting on me. So it's a very similar experience. The thing that I was thinking about was like, can I snowboard into old age? Like you see a bunch of people, a bunch of old guys skiing, just like, it's like golf

on snow. It's like that there's that many old people ski. And it, that really gives, gave me hope with skiing that it could be a long-term, you know, rewarding adventure. You don't see a lot of 70-plus-year-olds snowboarding. And that must be because of the injuries. I don't know. I think it's—

Or is it just because less of them do it to begin with? I think it's because the sport is younger. Yeah, they just haven't got— old snowboarders haven't happened yet. So that's now my hope. You know, I mean, to be able to ski or snowboard or whatever, like any type of like physical activity, and it was very much on my mind driving back yesterday. The thing I like about it is that it says,

it tells me this is something I can work towards in terms of fitness. Like I've got to stay at a certain level of fitness so that I can continue to enjoy this activity that apparently is my number two activity, you know, up until, like, I'm 80 years old. So I've got to— Until you're 80? 75. 75. Like. The consequences of a fall increase with age. And because. Don't talk me out of it.

Talk me into fitness. I'm just saying because. That was my point. If you get hurt snowboarding, it's probably gonna be because some jack leg who just learned how to ski runs into you. Yeah, we gotta learn to be very defensive. Sometimes you don't see them.

Yeah, I know. I know. But I think I could – right now I'm just saying it aligns my motivations. You know, to enjoy mountain biking, you got to be a certain level of fitness to enjoy, you know, to enjoy snowboarding. So, like, I got gotta start doing some more weights or something. Yeah. So that's where I'm at. We had a great time.

I did not, I aided a few times, but it's mostly like coming off the lift. So when you come off the lift, it's the same thing, same thing you got one you got one you got a front foot in yeah Backfoot just kind of goes on the board. Yeah I'm pretty good at that though Those are the things that I kind of forgot about and then when I went skiing I was very grateful like getting off the lift is so such a breeze and then you just yeah, you just keep going Yeah, and also when you get to the flat parts. Yep.

That's a breeze. I'm fine with getting off the lift, but it requires concentration. The flat parts, there's no way around it. I can easily pop my foot out and then start kick push type thing. But can skiers and snowboarders really hang? I mean, that's the thing. If we go on the mountain, can we really be friends? I think it's going to be like the burger thing. I think you go down, I go down,

we meet later and talk about it. Yeah. I don't think we can be seen on the lift together. Yeah. It's a fox and the hound situation. Yeah. Yeah. Bumble knows it's hard to start conversations.

Hey. No, too basic. Hi there. Still no. What about hello, handsome? Who knew you could give yourself the ick? That's why Bumble is changing how you start conversations. You can now make the first move or not. With opening moves, you simply choose a question to be automatically sent to your matches.

Then sit back and let your matches start the chat. Download Bumble and try it for yourself. Summer is like a cocktail. It has to be mixed just right. Start with a handful of great friends. Now add your favorite music. And then, finally, add Bacardi rum. Shake it together.

And there you have it. The perfect summer mix. Bacardi. Do what moves you. Live passionately. Drink responsibly. Copyright 2024. Bacardi, its trade dress and the bat device

are trademarks of Bacardi and Company Limited. Rum 40% alcohol by volume. Well, you missed my party because of this. It's totally worth it, I think. But then Christy was telling me that, like, she was like, there were people everywhere. First of all, like, the amount of turnout. Like, I've never seen as many people at your house as Christy described.

She was like, there were people everywhere. It wasn't like there wasn't a place you could go to, like, have a little space. It was a good crowd. I was like, first of all, that's a good party when you got, you were concerned about turnout because it was a New Year's Eve party that then got moved a month later and then people didn't even know. Well, not a month later. Two weeks later.

So you had a good turnout. Well, so the original conception of the party, that's Jessie's idea. And you know, I have this, as I've talked about on this very show, I had this desire to do these events that are not just normal parties, you know? And I felt like when Jessie had this idea

for a New Year's Eve party and she was like, and it was a last minute thing at the time, because it was two weeks until New Year's. And she was like, let's just have a party with just whoever happens to be in town during New Year's Eve which in LA is not a lot of people. Most people are from somewhere else. They go back home whenever traveling.

And then once we started kind of putting together the list, we started realizing, this is a really interesting mix of people because it's people that she knows that I don't really know, people that I know that she doesn't really know, people that I know through what I do, but also our collective friends and parents of kids

that our kids are friends with. And I've never mixed those groups of people, other than maybe like my 40th birthday party, which also had a bunch of mythical people, it was massive. But I haven't had a party like this in a really long time. And I was a little bit like, oh, well, this guy's gonna come and, you know. There was at least 15 people

that had never been to our house before and had never, had maybe met the other half of the couple, Rhett and Jesse, once or none. So what was the total that was there then? 60 people? No, no, no. No.

Christine made it seem like there was like 60 people there. Max 40. Oh, okay. Well. And you had an open bar, but it was coffee. Well, we had a coffee bar because Jesse did that for Locke's graduation party where you can get somebody who's just going to make coffee drinks. Like people like to drink night coffees?

Well, they certainly did at Locke's graduation party. Now, they had decaf everything. Okay. That's a good idea. The coffee bar was not popular enough to do it again. That was the conclusion we came to. And then we had like our little bar area just had like wine, champagne, beer, liquor, and you can mix it, whatever. You can kind of make your own thing.

Okay. I think I would actually do a bartender who was making drinks next time versus a bar guy. And then they can make a coffee drink too. Maybe. I don't want to make a, I mean, maybe an espresso martini. I don't know. I don't want to. Yeah.

I want to speak for them. That's what I would have. I'll get to the main event in a second, which is sort of the taking a baby step towards what some people might call a salon type event. You know what I'm saying? Like that's what they would call it out here, right? A salon.

A salon is like when- That's where my grandma gets her hair did. People gather and then there's like something that happens from a person or, and we talked about the pasta and PowerPoint idea of taking something like that and doing something like a group activity that was fun. Well, because it was a New Year's Eve party, like that and doing something like a group activity that was fun.

Well, because it was a New Year's Eve party, we originally were planning on ringing in the new year. That wasn't happening. So what I did that got some good feedback was I just put, I went on YouTube and got like the late seventies, early eighties and some 90s, Dick Clark's rockin' New Year's Eve, whatever, like they're just on YouTube and just put them on a playlist. And so it was all these old acts and stuff playing,

just without the sound on because we had a playlist going the whole time with music. But it was like, you got to see like, oh, there's Alabama playing the 1985 rockin' New Year's Eve. On mute. On mute. On mute. That's cool. So that was a nice little touch. But I heard that you had some synchronicity between the Dick Clark thing and like a pseudo countdown.

That was accidental, and I'll tell that story in a second. Well, Christy said Rhett was playing this old Dick Clark New Year's Eve countdown, and he timed it to where the countdown, and we all did the countdown, the countdown led to like 10 minutes to what time was the main event? 10.30. 10.30. 10.40. Yeah, she was like event? 10.30. 10.30. 10.40. Yeah, she was like, until like 10.30,

and then the countdown went off. Straight to the main event. And then it went straight into the main event. I was like, oh, that was, I was really impressed by that. Total luck. Total luck? Yeah. Ha!

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, you fooled her, man. You fooled everybody. Yep, I'm glad. Sometimes luck? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, you fooled her, man. You fooled everybody. Yep, I'm glad. Sometimes things work out. Sometimes you just gotta start something and things work out, things fall into place. That's what you should have planned.

I was giving you so much credit. Yeah, it was all intentional, Link. Did everybody count down? Oh yeah, oh yeah, they did. Now, the thing that I noticed, and of course, our friend Gar was there, and Gar is very observant. The most observant person that I know in terms of just like social dynamics and stuff. he he is uh better known as the batting stance guy you know he's uh he observes literally can do like every batting stance of every major league baseball player that you care to know about and uh it's a very niche talent that you know the MLB loves him because he's so good at this they'll bring him into the locker room before a game and the teams call him in because he's freaking incredible.

And like that audience is so primed for his particular talent that no one else has. And there are times when Gar will break this out at a party not because he's like, he wants to do it, but because somebody who knows he can do it starts egging him on. I'll get to that in a moment, but Gar came up to me an hour and a half into the party and he was like,

you know how Gar would communicate this, he was like, well done. He was like- Good party. This group of people that you have assembled is like, he's like, there's not a, you don't go to a lot of parties like this where you've got like, he's like, there's not a, you don't go to a lot of parties like this where you've got like that couple

is obviously friends of, you know, parents of one of the kids, friends, different vibe than, Oh, that person is from the entertainment industry. And these are very different vibes.

And you usually go to parties where it's like one or the other. Yeah. And we just were like, these are our people are friends, and let's just bring them all together. And it seems like everyone really dug that vibe of like, this person has this really interesting job that's not in the industry, Industry people get tired of hanging out with industry people because they tend to be Vampires leeches shallow status people right and so He was kind of talking about that dynamic because you know he's right with his connections. He ends up

experiencing these types of gatherings and he was just like having a blast seeing people interact. But then, and Jessie is doing this thing where she'll like go up and be like, this is so-and-so and he's a, you know, Grammy award winning, like stuff that no one wants to say, Grammy award winning producer and this is so-and-so and he's an imagineer at Disney. And she's like, she'll like say that so then they've broken the ice and don't have to have that conversation

about it. And then they start talking. But then when she goes up to my new friend Jake, who you haven't met yet, she's like, this is your potential golfing buddy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, it's gonna happen.

We're working it out. We're working on the date right now. You can be so old and do that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, it's going to happen. We're working it out. We're working on the date right now. He's like... You can be so old and do that. Yeah, exactly. Jesse was like, this is Jake. He's a musician. This is Gar.

He can do batting stances. What she did not know is that Jake played Division I college baseball. Oh, no. And is a freaking baseball freak. Here we go. And the guy that Jake played Division I college baseball. Oh, no. And is a freaking baseball freak. Here we go. And the guy that he brought is also a baseball guy. Oh, yes. That just set it off.

This was not the main event, by the way. No, this isn't the main event. This is just Gar in my hall, and they're just calling out people. And, you know, I know a few baseball players. Dale Murphy. You know, I know a few baseball players. Dale Murphy. You know what I'm saying? I know, like, the all-stars throughout the years. Wade Boggs.

But what I don't know is the specific ones where someone is trying to throw him off and throw out somebody they're just thinking about because they know baseball, and then he can do it perfectly. I'm entertained by that because I don't... It's blowing their mind. Because I don't, because I'm observing the niche coming together, and they were flipping out. They had the best time because he was doing the thing,

and he was going into all his stuff where he emphasizes certain things. It was a beautiful moment. But yes. I can't believe you didn't plan the countdown. So the main event. a beautiful moment. But yes. I can't believe you didn't plan the countdown. So, yeah, back to that. So the main event. The thing, it was, you did plan to have a main event, which I was like, what time did that happen?

And Christy was like, yeah, 10, it was like 10.30. I was like, that was smart. Because then it gives people a reason to stay at the party. It's kind of like the people who are looking for a reason, like, oh, I showed up, and now I'm probably going to go at like 10. Now they're like, well, I'm going to stay until 1030 because of the you-know-what that's about to happen. That was really smart, right?

You got everybody sticking around because there's something. It's like the cutting of the cake at the wedding reception. Yes. Well, you got to stay until they cut the cake. I don't even like cake. Well, you got's like the cutting of the cake at the wedding reception. Yes. Well, you gotta stay until they cut the cake. I don't even like cake. Well, you gotta stay until they cut the cake.

And there was a little bit of a preamble because, so we asked Robert, the mythical magician that you may know from Good Mythical Morning appearances,

and I think he's done, did he do, he did a, did he do a society special too? He did. Yeah, that's what he did he do a society special too? He did. Yeah, that's what he did, yeah. Yeah. So, and he did a party that you were at DJing.

Yeah. He did Laura's graduation party like a month earlier. And so we were like, yeah, let's have a magician. Because why not? Because how often do you go to a party at somebody's house and they have a freaking magician? Not often. Nope. More often than a guy who can do any batting stance,

but still not that often. And I also, the funny thing about it is, because I was telling Gar this, I was like, I think our connection to Robert actually started with us. It started, the very beginning of it was us making fun of magicians. Yeah. Because we've established that was us making fun of magicians. Yeah. On this show. Because we've established that we've made fun of magicians on this show. Yeah.

Not that we don't appreciate it, but we kind of poke fun at them. And then the whole thing started with Stevie telling us that she had been to, she had seen a Zoom magician, so we were like, we're going to have that for our Christmas party. That's what it was. And so he did the mythical Christmas party in 2021. Completely over Zoom. Because it was all Zoom.

And we did it because we like to do things that are a little bit weird and make people feel awkward. But what ended up happening is he did such a good job that everybody was just like, I just unabashedly love that. Yeah. And so then he just kind of became a part of, when we unabashedly love that. Yeah. And so then he just kind of became a part of, when we need a magician, we go to Robert. And so Robert came early

and just walked around the party and we just kind of go up to a group of people and start doing close magic, which is a cool thing to happen at a party. Yeah. You know, you didn't expect it. Like, who's this guy? And all of a sudden he's got a deck of cards and he's doing something.

Stealing your wallet. And only to give it back to you. And then he did it. We did a thing. So you know how our living room has steps that go up into the main part of the house? Yeah. So it's kind of like sunken. Yeah.

So we put him on the top of the steps like a stage. Like a stage. Yeah. Okay. Everybody sat in the living room. So we put him on the top of the steps like a stage. Like a stage. Everybody sat in the living room. And we were able to fit every... There was a couple of people who didn't come in. One of our friends, which will remain nameless, who you'll be able to guess, was like, I'm uncomfortable with magicians,

so I'm not going to watch this. Which made total sense to me. So a few people didn't go in, but there was enough room. And he did like a half hour show. And people just loved it because it was kind of unexpected. It gives you a focal point. Yeah, and it was just-

Not only to stick around, but to- And then once he was done, there are people, there's a certain group of people who are like, well, we don't stay at people's homes past midnight. We're going home. You know, 60%, but then there's the 40% who are like, well, as long as you guys are here and up, we're sticking around.

Yeah. So like the last person left at like 1am or something like that. So it was a lot, way past my bedtime. Well, I hate I missed it. If I wasn't doing the number one thing on my list that wasn't sex. Yeah, magician parties, you didn't rank that anywhere. Nope, nowhere at all that I heard.

I mean, I still don't think I am. But jet skiing is now definitely on my list. But we immediately, the next morning, we're talking about the things that we would do differently to make it easier on ourselves just to do it, but how much fun we had. And then I got so many texts from people the next day who were just like, I had such a great time.

That was a great time. Loved getting to know your other friends. I was kind of nervous about that whole, like, this couple only knows Jessie. Hey, you know what? People come to a party, they can meet people. But yeah, I would- It's not, you know?

Well, but- You set the table, but everybody's gotta eat. Yeah, I was just very happy with the fact that people just kind of just did their own thing. And like everybody was talking and having conversations and everyone stayed and- So the only change is no coffee bar, more alcohol, which who's gonna argue with that?

I think a bartender instead of a coffee bar. You can't go with a magician again. Oh, hell no. Not nothing against magicians, but that was just, that, I'm not gonna, I'm gonna mix it up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe a mechanical bull. It doesn't have to be one focal point. It could be we're going to do this thing where it's more like the moth,

where we would like you to prepare a story that is about this kind of thing, and the first 15 people to sign up can tell a five-minute story or a three-minute story or something like that. So then it's like, well, if I don't want to tell a five minute story or a three minute story or something like that. So then it's like, well, if I don't wanna tell a story, I don't have to, but people who wanna tell stories are encouraged to do so. And so then we have a moment where everyone

is entertaining one another versus it being one person. Interesting. The other thing I'm gonna do differently is we got all our food from Porto's, which was great, because it's all finger food. But we got it, and we served it, and we heated it up. There was this

food situation. We've got to think about that a little bit. I think in order to really focus, I think you've got to get it catered. Put your kids in tuxes, man. Put Shepard in a tux. You gotta go the lowest level of catering. I don't want

people coming... I don't want to be fancy people coming around with plates of food. I'm just saying that like... You don't want to make the food hot. Yeah, and worrying about switching the things out. I hate I missed it, man. You gotta come to the next one. It'll be planned well in advance. Okay. You think you're gonna get people to tell stories oh that's just an

idea i mean first of all in los angeles man it's plenty of you got all these people and the thing is is that you don't just get the people who come from an entertainment background to tell stories you get the person who just has a really interesting you might have to job you might have experience and then i might have to give a little i might have to give him a little call and give him a little nudge and be like hey you might have to narrow down the topic oh no no it wouldn't just be it would be do you have a story about pudding just to use the you know that might be a little too uh that's a little too narrow, but. You want me to share five stories? Do you have a near-death experience?

Okay. You know, and so then we serve like death by chocolate cake at the end, and you've got, so it's a death theme, and it's just like near-death experiences. That could be Halloween. You do some kind of theme. That's a good Halloween theme. Maybe that's the October party is near-death experiences. Yeah, and nobody has to dress up.

You could if you want to. But you could if you wanted to, but that's not the theme of the party. Right. Well, I'm making no commitments. Making no commitments at this point. Well, neither am I then. I might show up or I might be snowboarding. Got to hear about the deets, the details.

I think my recommendation this week, if I'm going to rack it up, it's my turn to give a recommendation. It is. Is make your list. Yeah. It's good to know what you enjoy. Like I said, I mean, I know some people are against it, and you know what?

It's not for everybody to, like, make a list. Maybe the thing that... But to identify... You don't have to rank them. Maybe it's an unranked pool of activities, and you might say, you know what? I need to add a few on there. It's a vision board.

A vision, yeah, creative... If you don't want to make a list, make a vision board. A vision board of pleasure. Yes. A pleasure board. And one of your things may be trying something new just once, like Jenna said. And then you're like, oh, yeah, I need to come up with something new. I made a vision board last night.

You made one last night? I did, yeah. Oh, I had some friends over. We had games and arts and crafts and a bunch of girl friends. She did. She was doing it. Jenna's having curated parties. It was a curated party, yeah. And some of us did arts and crafts and made bunch of girl friends. She did. She was having curated parties. It was a curated party, yeah. And like some of us like did arts and crafts and made vision boards. A friend of mine loves making jewelry, so she brought some of her jewelry stuff. Okay. And then we like all sat down and played like dominoes for a while. And yeah, it was a blast. It was just a life vision board or what I'm saying, a pleasure vision board. It was a year vision board of things that I want to come into my life

and the things I want to do. Okay. So kind of, I guess, it is a pleasure board, but for the year. Okay. All right. All right. I like it. I kind of want to see it, but maybe it's too personal.

I'll show you a photo. Is it? If people want to see it, but maybe it's too personal. I'll show you a photo. If people want to see it, I'll put it, yeah. I picture it like a Vacation Bible School felt board. No, it's so much better. Oh, it's better than felt? You don't have to publish it, but if you're going to show it to us now, we'll just describe it in general terms. I'm not trying to publish your personal vision board. I mean, there's nothing more. Okay, I'm just going to describe it in general terms. I'm not trying to publish your personal vision board.

I mean, there's nothing... Okay, I'm just going to describe it. Yes, it's like cut out felt. It's felt pieces on like a... It's like, you know how felt sticks to felt? And if you're a child and you go to like... It's not felt. Vacation Bible school.

Yeah, but it's okay. If you want to defend yourself, you got to get back on mic. It's paper. I would say it's yourself, you gotta get back on mic. It's paper. I would say it's exactly like a felt vacation Bible school. I'm just joking. It's a collage.

It's pretty damn artsy. There's some velvet in there. Where did you get these things? It's like an adult collage. Did you print them out? Yes, it is. It is an adult collage. Did you print them out? Yes, it is. It is an adult collage. It's exactly what I made. And you didn't leave any white space. I didn't.

Well, it was also the board that I used was something that I used for a little art thing years ago. You just keep those boards and you're like, I'm not going to throw it away. That's wasteful. So I just did something over top of it. You know how painters always paint it over their masterpieces with another masterpiece? I'm comparing myself to a masterpiece painter right now with my collage. But it makes sense. Your old vision, it should be replaced by your new vision.

Yeah, yeah. I love it. Yeah, it's Mod Podge collage, and there's a Mod Podge collage. That's pretty good. I love it. Yeah, it's Mod Podge Collage, and there's a Mod Podge Collage. That's pretty good. And in Pasadena, there's a used arts and crafts store where you can go and get, like, it's super inexpensive, like, anything you need arts and crafts.

Like half a pencil? Yeah. But it's mostly, like, you know, a crown set that was used like once or twice or like one thing is missing. That totally makes sense. And it's like, and all of the magazines that I got, I got for free there. And they had a bunch of just like crafting magazines that had really pretty like art and visual stuff. Can you make one of these for me? Well, I've already given you my list.

Yeah, that's true. You've given me the list. And I'll need color palettes. It's part of your job. Yeah, I'll make a vision board for you. It's not like I'm asking you to do it as a hobby. I mean, this is a, you know, this is. You will be paid for it.

You will be paid for it. That's a good service. I can make you one. All right. Well, I think that's my rec now. Get Jenna to That's a good service. I can make you one. All right. Well, I think that's my rec now. Get Jenna to make you a vision board. Okay, all right. No, it's not.

Oh, that was fun. Congratulations on your party, man. Congratulations on your snowboarding. Oh, gosh. I wish I could do both. I wish I could be two places. Snowboard and party at the same time. Well, maybe that's what we do.

We'll talk at you next week. In the meantime, call us and leave us a voicemail. About anything. That we would, that basically you're daring us to respond. Oh, okay. 1-888-EAR-POD-1. Hey, Rhett and Link. This is Richard from South Carolina.

I just want to say I heard Rhett mention to eat raw broccoli whenever you have the opportunity. And I just want to say I appreciate you saying that because me and my wife are eating more raw broccoli than we ever have before. Thank you.
