And I'm Link this week at the round table of Demoliting.

I hope Rhett has an embarrassing story to tell. I believe that he does. We also want to subject ourselves to the test, the official test to determine if we actually think alike. The definitive test. And more! And more. Well. Today only on Ears Biscuit.

I debated whether or not I should even tell this story on the internet. It's not a debate, man. It's not a debate, listen. I feel like I set a good example and now you need to follow it. We think you set an example, which we're not gonna say what it is

because we don't wanna spoil it. I know, I'm pretty sure. Okay. This past weekend, we went to the wedding of Jacob, our chief operating officer here at- Then we went to the wedding of Jacob, our chief operating officer here at- What a fun wedding. Great wedding, great people. There was a party one night and there were two bowling lanes.

Yeah. It's a good little venue if you go over to the side and there's two full bowling lanes. Last time that happened to me, I was in the White House. That's right, it was very White House-like. Yeah. But better. I think they might've had four lanes

in the bottom of the White House. In my mind, it was two, but I don't know. In my mind, it was two. But you just said four. I know. So in your mind, it's two, but in your heart it's four? I don't know, keeping my options open. So there were two parties.

There was a lot of alcohol served, but I'm currently not drinking alcohol. I'm a little dry spell. And so in order to make myself feel like I'm drinking alcohol, I'm getting soda waters with bitters and lime, which is my wife's go-to drink because she doesn't really drink either. Because it looks like you have a drink in your hand

and it kind of tastes like you might be drinking. Because it's got some bitters. And also both of these parties, the bartender was happy to make a mocktail and actually were enthusiastic about mocktails. They need to be, cause more and more people are ordering them. And they charge the same amount of money for the mocktail

as they do for the tail. But when the wedding people are paying for the drinks, you don't have to think about that. Nope. So- Did you order a mocktail or did you just order the bitters? I drink so much liquid, especially night two. Cause we were, that night two was the wedding

and then the wedding ceremony. And also, I typically do not stay until a wedding reception is over. And the only reason I did on this particular day was because when the wedding ceremony or when the wedding reception was supposed to end at midnight, it was your birthday. That's right. I didn't even, I was supposed to end at midnight, it was your birthday.

That's right. I didn't even, I was ready to go to bed. Well, originally you were ready to go to a different venue. Oh yeah, I have big plans, man. I wanted to go to a second venue and keep the party going and then. And I knew that Christy didn't want to and without even consulting with her,

I leaned over to Jessie and I said, at like 11, 15, I said, are we still going to that place that Link wants to go after because me and Christy don't want to. And I hadn't even talked to her. She was, and then when Christy found that out, she was like, you're right, I don't wanna go.

Well, unfortunately, I didn't wanna go either. If you had wanted to go, I would've gone. And maybe things would've turned out different. Maybe my story would not be what it is. So we turned in at like 12.30, 12.15. So I got to my room and I had some of my like nighttime medicines that I take, supplemental things, and some more water. It's the keynote here.

And then I drift off to sleep. I do not remember the dream. I do not remember the dream. Really? I do not remember the dream. I do not remember the dream. I wish I remember the details, but I do remember the sensation that awoke me. I'm a 47 year old man. Yeah. And this 47 year old man. Yeah. And this 47 year old man awoke at 3 a.m. with the sensation of a warm liquid being emitted

onto my right thigh. Pretty far down the thigh. Come on. And I woke up and said to myself, holy shit, am I pissing myself right now? And the resounding answer was yes. And I admit- You're currently pissing yourself.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It wasn't over. I mean, well, yeah, but I immediately, as soon as I understood what was happening, stopped it. Did you pinch it with your fingers? No, hands-free. What kind of moron do you think I am? Well, sometimes if it's gushing, you gotta pinch it with your fingers? No, hands free. I don't, what kind of moron do you think I am? Well, sometimes if it's gushing, you gotta pinch it.

I have full pelvic floor control. I can stop my piss stream at any point. You think you can. At least I still can at this age. And let me just say this was a familiar feeling. Not a recently familiar feeling, but I was a bedwetter as a child. Good.

I don't remember exactly the year that it stopped before puberty. Now I probably went- It was later than- I probably went until- What you would have hoped. I probably still had like occasional, I mean, I definitely still had it happen to me

in North Carolina and I was six when we moved to North Carolina. So it would be like, you know, a couple of times a year maybe that first year, I don't know. So I was a bedwetter. And I remember that same sensation of waking up and you're just like, you're ashamed,

but you're also a kid in the eighties when it happened to me. When it happens to you as a 47 year old man who has had a lot of water, I mean, I cannot tell you how much water, I could tell you it contributed to a lot of piss that escaped me before I realized what was happening. And you're at a hotel.

And you don't remember that you were dreaming about peeing. I'm sure I was, because I have lots of dreams that I have to pee and then I wake up and piss in a toilet. Not tonight, my friend. So did you jump out of bed? Well, no, when it stopped, I was like, okay, how much have I damage have I done?

And I felt down there and I was like, okay, well, my underwear's wet. I'm still coming too, you know? You're trying to figure out if you're just gonna lay in it? No, I'm trying to figure out how much damage I've done. Like, do I need to wake my wife up? Do we need to evacuate?

I don't know. Evacuate. It's just kind of the bathroom, dude. And so I feel, and then I'm like, oh shit, it's on the bed. Quite a bit on the bed. Oh yes. So I get up.

This is not your bed. I go to the bathroom and proceed to pee, probably for a minute. I want you to understand how much I was pissing. I understand, I guess, yeah. Good news, as I'm looking into the bowl, I realized that the water is not being discolored at all, meaning I'm basically peeing water.

So you're talking yourself into just sleeping on it? No. Why is that the thing that you're keying in on? Of course I've got to go back to sleep. I'm gonna sleep on the fucking floor after that or a hammock, set up a hammock. No, I go and I put a towel over the wet spot just like I did when I was seven.

Okay. But the thing I was worried about that I wanted to be able to just go to sleep without worrying about is like, I didn't want a piss stain on this hotel bed. No, you don't want to be that guy. I want somebody to think, because I was checking out the next morning, I want somebody to think that, well, I thought about this.

I think the housekeepers are just like, well, squirter was in this bed. They probably encounter this quite a bit. And let's not get into the is squirt pee debate. I know that it's at least, you know, is it mostly pee, some pee? I don't know. But what I'm saying- It's a good way to deflect from your embarrassment. When a housekeeper-

We can continue to talk about that. Encounters a wet spot in a hotel bed, they don't immediately think an adult man has pissed himself. They think an adult woman has squirted herself, probably. And that brought me some comfort. Okay. Mm-hmm. I don't know if this is true. Maybe it can bring you comfort

that there's a lot of adult men who pee themselves. I think there's more squirters than bedwetters. Squirting has become much more popular. Okay. Much more popular. Than wetting your bed, yeah. Bedwetting is on a decline. I can understand that. Squirting is on an upswing, bedwetting is on a decline.

Okay. But you know, I've done it. And I talked about it on this show. Yeah, right, you did, you have. But it was at my mom's house. I don't know what's worse. It was in a guest bed. I got to leave.

Yeah. And just let a housekeeper think somebody squirted in the bed and I don't have to think about it anymore. Yeah, we had to think about it some more. I'm never going back to that hotel. I'm not sleeping in that bed again. There's trauma associated with that bed. For both of us, it was somebody else's bed.

Yep. I think that's a factor. Yeah. I do remember when it happened to me for the next week, I was real paranoid when I would go to sleep. I wouldn't drink anything. I've cut down on my nighttime waters. I woke up in the morning and I would be like,

I would just wake up, oh, did I pee myself? That was like a week. I had this complex about it. It hasn't been that bad and I definitely, it was an excessive amount. Like I don't wake up to pee at night in general. I mean, maybe two times a month. Okay.

But I typically, I don't like having to wake up to pee. You have to get up, it's disruptive or whatever. So I try to stop drinking water after dinner. Oh. You know? And really if you get enough water during the day, which I don't, but if you do, you can stop drinking at that point, you won't be dehydrated or anything.

Some people recommend that for better sleep. Jessie never woke up. No, but the first thing I said when I woke up and she woke up, is I said, and I think I said it in a baby voice, I said, I wait to bed. I wait to bed, rash night.

And what did she say? She comforted me. She said they'll probably just think it was a squirt. No, she didn't say that. She probably said, ooh, did it get on my side? She didn't care. She sat there and slept in it all night. You laid back on it.

I laid on top of a towel. A towel, so you just smooshed it down. Okay, explain what you did when you're happening at your mom's house. I put down a towel and I laid back on it. Yeah, right, like give me an alternative. Strip the bed, but then you're waking up your partner.

There's no reason to do that. And again, in the broad daylight, I guess- Streaming through the window, there was literally no demarcation of the wet spot. It was completely colorless. I had, and which is very unusual for me. Okay. I mean, if you ask David, who,

and Sierra, I think was helping with that, who dealt with our pee for that GMM episode. Yeah, I felt bad for him. And they had some notes about your pee. My pee, well, they said, y'all's pee. Stinky. They said it was, both of our pee was stinky and very yellow, that's what I heard.

But I drank so much that night, water, that it just came out completely. You've been nervous ever since, like I was? No, so I don't know why, maybe it's because I've got more experience bedwetting. And I don't, and bedding the bed once doesn't necessarily mean that you're gonna do it again in the near future, because it's the circumstances and the circumstances were

Excessive liquids in my body. Okay. Well, welcome to the club The middle-aged men who've peed a bed but not their own bed club But I've also I this wasn't the first time I've done it two times This is the second time I've done it as an adult because I think I said that when you told the story Well, then I was welcome to the club and you just renewed your membership. It's good for another seven years, I think. But I haven't looked up anything, which is surprising,

about why. You know, what is it? Yeah, and you had to pee. You don't need to know why. Right, but there's a reason. If it keeps happening, you might need to know why. But there's a reason that you wet your bed as a kid. Like, you know, I don't know what it is, but there's-

Did they do anything to fix that? Like whoop you, shame you? No, my parents were good about that, about not making me feel bad about it. They knew that I did not need any help feeling bad about it. It's such a shameful thing to piss your bed. Yeah.

But I don't know, like, yeah, is it- So don't feel bad about it. Well, no, but is there like, is it a... I bet you if I started looking up WebMD stuff, it would be like, could be a sign of, and then it would- And that's why you don't need to do it. That would scare me. I haven't done it.

Yeah, don't do that. I haven't done it. Cause it happened to you and you- Sounds like you're still thinking about it. Relatively good health. Googling it. I'm not, I've thought about it, is what I said. Yeah, don't do that.

But I haven't been worried about it because I haven't been even waking up to pee at all. Okay, good. I'm glad you're not worried about it. And also, I'm not, if it happens at my house, I'm not worried about it that happened at my house. I mean, I'd be worried- The main thing was someone else having to see it

and think something about you. Yes. Oh, yeah. I mean, because if it happens in foreign places, happening at a hotel is one thing. Happening at somebody's house you're staying with, I mean, your mom, that's not that big of a deal. But like, what if you are,

somebody invites you to sleep in their guest bed? Right. I mean, this is worse than clogging someone's toilet at a party. Oh yeah. Which I also did by the way at that same hotel room. No, this is worse than clogging someone's toilet at a party. Oh yeah. Which I also did, by the way, at that same hotel room. No, what? Yeah, clogged the toilet.

You're just wreaking havoc. You're a horrible guest. And it wasn't even that much shit. Come on. It wasn't. So you clogged the toilet and you peed the bed? It wasn't, in fact. You're the worst.

I preemptively, when there was a little bit of toilet paper in there. I bet you drank from the fridge, the little mini bar, and then you put half things back so you won't get charged. I didn't, and then I flushed it. And it stopped and I was like, what? No, it was a very pretty toilet.

You told me it was painted. It was painted, and I think that the paint must have created some sort of friction in the hole. They painted the whole bowl? The whole bowl, all the way down into it. What color was it? Dark? Multiple colors, it was a beautiful toilet.

What? And I had never seen anything like that and Jessie was like, oh, this is, I wanted to do this at so-and-so, one of the things that she was doing, but they didn't end up wanting it. It was a beautiful toilet. I almost felt bad about taking a shit in it.

Too much friction. And I think maybe the paint caused extra friction because it wasn't that much stuff. And then I thought to myself, Damn, what else did you do? I think that's all, I keep thinking. I was like, I gotta call the front desk and request a plunger because I'm not going down there.

The way that this hotel was set up, you were there, you know, in order to get to my room, I had to walk through like a restaurant and a pool deck and like, it was a crowded, very cool hotel. Yeah. And you know, and I'd been recognized a few times. And I don't wanna be like, oh, I wonder where Rhett's going with that plunger.

So- You asked them to deliver a plunger. They did. And the guy shows up with the plunger and I reached my hand out to take it from him. He just goes past me and goes into the, I got quiet. I didn't know what to say. Now there's nothing in the toilet, it's just sitting water. Okay. I'm glad you're giving us these details. Sitting water. Because it's, whatever is deep in the toilet.

Okay, great. And he just comes in there and boom boom, he's done and I'm like, mm-hmm, I'd give him a nod. See, that's- Little did I know that that night I would also wet the bed. And then the next morning you're like, can I get a towel? And then they come in with a towel and they're like, and then they just go by you and clean up the pee. Yeah, that didn't happen.

I mean, I think that that may be worse than the pee. Is calling for a plunger and then the guy is like, he goes right by you. He seems like he's done it. You tried to take the plunger. Like, yeah. And then he kept going, knowing that he's about to plunge your poo poo,

and you're standing there, just waiting for him to come back out and nod your head? Well, it could have been my wife. He doesn't know. Oh, he knew. If there had have been a floating turtle in there, just waiting for him to come back out and nod your head? Well, it could have been my wife. He doesn't know. Oh, he knew. If there had have been a floating turtle in there, I would have blamed it on her. Floating turtle wouldn't have been a problem.

She doesn't know her own strength. Just say something like that. Damn, so you really... I really use the hotel for all it's worth. Man. They have peanuts with Old Bay seasoning on them. I had some. I had some of those too. Jesse opened those up.

The mini bar was quite impressive. Weren't as good as I thought they would be. Quite impressive. Trying to think what else you could have done to damage this hotel and embarrass yourself. Well, with a bodily fluid. Well, then let's just leave it be. Let's just leave that conversation be.

So yeah, I... Welcome back to the club, you're renewed. Yeah, but I don't... It happens to the best of us. But does it? Yes. I mean, if we were to start asking... Yeah.

Okay. Let us know. If you... Call us and tell us your story of peeing the bed as an adult. Only if you're a middle-aged man. You can be a woman, but you can't be a pregnant woman who's laughing because we know y'all pee everywhere.

I think you have to have a penis to answer this question. I'm sorry. Oh, really? I'm gonna discriminate here because the penis is a completely different system. And so women might pee themselves for any number of reasons. And it could be squirt, I don't know. Like I don't wanna confuse this. If you have a penis and you're an adult, okay?

Call us. When was the last time you pissed a bit? Call us and tell us about how it make you feel. Yeah. 1-888. EarPod One. Managing finances used to feel like an endless struggle filled with overdraft fees, surprise payments,

I went to the dentist this morning and I swear, every time I go to the dentist, right after the dentist, I come in here and I record a podcast. I think every single time, it always happens. Like the freshest thing I do after going to the dentist is an episode of Ear Biscuits. It's just something that's happened tens of hundreds of times maybe. And you know what? I'm pretty good at being at the dentist. I got a positive report and everything, but this time something happened that's never happened before. I guess it's my fault.

She handed me the sucker. That thing. Oh, she lets you do it yourself. Yeah, and she just, I'm holding it the whole time. And then at certain points, she'll like spray the water in my mouth and she'll say, swish and rinse. And I did that once and it was fine

and then the second time I swished and rinsed, like she put a lot of water in there and I'm like swishing around. And then I'm gonna say. She's not saying swish and rinse, right? She's saying swish and close. Well, she told me, I mean, just suck, suction. Swish and suction.

Really all she said was swish. I don't know what word she used. But yeah, I'm taking the tube and putting it in my own mouth. And I'm sucking up all of the water and junk that she sprayed in there. And I'm laying back, of course. And I don't know what I did, but I guess I was trying to bring all of this liquid to the tube. And I put the tube deep, but I brought the liquid. I went like this with my mouth out. Ooh, bring my mouth to it. Oh! And when I did that, all of this water, it didn't go, it sucked into the tube, it just gushed out everywhere. It was like I was a volcano of spit and water. I don't know,

maybe it was squirt too. Now that you've mentioned it so damn much. And then it's just coming all out of my mouth and going everywhere. It's a mouth squirt. And then I figured out how to use it again. And I'm like, oh, sorry. And then she's taking the thing and dabbing my neck and cleaning me up. Does your hygienist not instruct you? The only thing you have to do when the thing is in your mouth is close your lips around it and it takes all the water out of your mouth. Yeah.

Regardless, you don't have to go fishing for the water. I was trying to push it forward to the front of my mouth. Water can be anywhere in your whole head. You close your lips around it, it goes into the tube. Every time. Well, does she not tell you that? She assumed I knew that. My woman just says, close.

But does she put it in? Yeah, she puts it in and she does some stuff and then she's like, close, and I go... It's like a vacuum lock. It's like my mouth becomes and I go... It's like a vacuum lock. It's like my mouth becomes the door to the shuttle, you know what I mean? Yeah. Well, I do it myself. And I didn't do it. I don't like your dentist.

Yeah. And what I'll do is... That's not a DIY thing. I'll close down on it, and once it sucks everything out, it'll create suction where like my cheeks go in. Everything just starts getting sucked in that tube. If a tooth's loose, it's gonna come out. Well then you let go. And when it's hard to let go, and then you let go, and then everything's good. And then I do it one more time. You know? I just get obsessive about it.

I thought I had a new way to do it, but I just erupted all over myself. I can safely say that's never happened to me. It will now. I don't think it's going to. I bet you it will. I bet you it will. What did she say when you did that? It's okay or she said, what the hell's wrong with you?

I said, I said, whoops, sorry. She's like, it's okay, I got it, I got it. It's okay. It's okay, I got it. It happens all the time, she didn't say that, I'll tell you that much. What the hell's wrong with you? She didn't say it happens all the time,

because it doesn't. Did you also pee yourself, because that happens a lot in here? Yeah. I could have peed myself, because I was concentrating a lot on keeping my pelvic floor loose, relaxed. While you're at the dentist? my pelvic floor loose, relaxed.

While you're at the dentist? Yeah, try not to pucker my anus too much, because you know, you get tense whenever they're in your mouth, scraping and doing stuff, and everything gets tense. You might get your hands in a fist, you might get your anus in a ball, your toes might curl up, all of this stuff is just tension

and you gotta decide to relax. And maybe be yourself a little bit. But that didn't happen. Does that make you feel better? Not really. She cleaned up after me. It was all over me and she came in and just cleaned it up. What if you had called room service,

they'd have come in and cleaned you up like you were in a hospital? But what happened to you was just a result of a dumb decision that you made at the moment. What happened to me is like, something's wrong with me. Nothing's wrong with you. No, in that moment.

You had to pee, dude. Why are you saying something's wrong with you? I'm just saying. That's what's dude. Why are you saying something's wrong with you? Well, I'm just saying. That's what's wrong with you, is saying something's wrong with you is that's what's wrong with you. But there's lots of people who drink a lot of water and then they just wake up and pee in a toilet.

Well, your track record's pretty good. I don't know, man. Yeah, listen, it had happened to me again and it's not gonna happen to you again. I will say. Nothing's wrong with you. Even though I'm 1000% you've already forgotten. People are calling right now, leaving voicemails to make you feel better.

I'm 1000% you've already forgotten about this, and probably you didn't pick up on it at the time. But we were told in that GMM episode, I don't know when it's coming out, that you had low iron and that I had severely low iron. I just want you to know that that was bullshit. And David told me it was probably bullshit because I was asking him for a couple of the results.

And he was like, I wouldn't take too much stock in that thing because it was a really cheap test that we got from Amazon and it was like, it looked like a COVID test. It wasn't like a numerical measurement. It was like, how bright is this line kind of thing? Oh, okay. So anyway, I got my blood work done and my iron level was optimal.

So don't worry about that. You're not, you weren't, but I'm just letting you know. I wasn't, thank you. I was counting on something like that being the case. Yeah. Thank you for looking into it. But inevitably, Yeah?

We will be diagnosed with something in the comments. Somebody's gonna be like, oh, if Rhett is severely low on iron, that means- And he's peeing in the bed. And he's peeing in the bed. Like if you don't hear this, part where I'm not severely low, my blood work was great. Cholesterol is a little bit high, LDL, so is yours.

Yep, yep, yep. We gotta work on that. But that's pretty much it. Perfect health, other than that. Yeah, didn't see, move forward with confidence. Or just start sleeping in with a diaper. Well, it did cross my mind, or I'll get a water bed. Get a water bed, because it matters, it's a rubber. Or I'll get a water bed. Get a water bed, cause mattress is a rubber. Is rubber.

I thought that would actually make it more watery, which you thought was a good thing. No, it just means that you can't get, like you can't stain your mattress. Okay. My mattress, when I was a bed wetter, was it matched the mattress that you would sleep on when you would come over.

The one with the Western theme on it? It was not Western theme. Stagecoaches? It was United States history. Well, it was like, it had multiple United States history things on it. Maybe there was a stagecoach, but there was also like, I think Susan B. Anthony was, I had a history, I'm so good at history because of that mattress. It was some of the parts that you stained beyond recognition with your pee.

What I'm saying is that you couldn't see the pee stains because it was a light brown and dark brown mat, it was a light brown mattress. Yeah, I remember that. With like dark brown and black. Illustrations. It's the mattress that you would get for, and come to think of it, it's the mattress that you would get

for a kid that peed the bed. My parents, I always wondered why my parents thought he needs this little extra touch of history. It was because they knew I was gonna piss all over that thing and they didn't wanna see it. I peed all over the history of our great nation. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha.

Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. Which is why you'll never run for office because we don't want that coming out. Yeah, yeah. It's somewhere in a landfill. This man! Somebody will dig it up, he's got piss all over it.

This, you know what this man thinks about the history of the United States? He pisses on it. He might as well be pissing on the flag. I mean it wasn't the Constitution. I don't remember. If you flip the mattress it's just the Constitution. Maybe.

I hope he didn't pee on the Constitution. I wouldn't have done that. Intentionally. Not intentionally. What about going drag, dressing up. I'll do that. Dressing up as a drag queen? I have done that. He has done that. So now we've both done it. It's available on the Mythical Society. Are Rhett's performance moves, dance moves, is his look? What did they

do? You're gonna have to go to the Mythical Society to find out. Go do that. All right, let's take a question or something or whatever. Hey, Rhett and Link, my name's Drew from Northern New York. And I was just curious because me as a Northern New Yorker who is someone who is absolutely not from New York City, you know, you can't go walking around telling people that you're from New York and then they're immediately like, are you from Manhattan? No, no, no.

From the rest of the state. Us New Yorkers, we constantly debate on the different sections of New York State like it's a war and none of us can agree on one set up thing that we can actually describe to one another. I was curious is there anything like that for you people in the Carolinas? Is there anything that you disagree partially with each other about all the time like we do with our regions of New York? That's all. Thank you, bye. Hmm, yeah, there's a few things. First of all, can I just say that, Mike,

yeah, if you're from New York State, he said far north. Upstate New York is what I heard. I guess he's so far north, he's further north than Upstate. I think I would say Upstate if I were him, even if he isn't. But he didn't. He said very northern. Yeah, Upstate's probably like not all the way

at the top or something. I know there's other cities in New York this state. Syracuse. Albany. Buffalo. Oh, Buffalo, you got it,racuse. Albany. Buffalo. Oh, Buffalo, you pulled out, okay. Buffalo's way up there, isn't it? It's very cold class or something.

Did you have that on your mattress? No, I did not have. You had the Cities in New York mattress? I don't know what I had on my mattress. What was your mattress? Maybe I was the one with the stagecoaches. Hmm, I don't know. So yeah, there's more to New York than just the city.

I hear it's beautiful up there. Wouldn't know though. We don't have the same, the specific same issue that you deal with with New York, that's not something that happens in North Carolina to the same degree. But what happens out here? If you say you're from North Carolina, this happened to me yesterday, 94% of the time.

What do they say? What do they mention? They actually don't know. They mention Asheville. Asheville. They mention Asheville. Everybody, I think Asheville, Asheville's, Asheville. Asheville, so Asheville. Asheville. They mention Asheville. Everybody, I think Asheville, Asheville is, Asheville. Asheville, so Asheville.

Asheville was hurting with the floods and stuff. Yes, still hurting. And it's still hurting. Yeah. And that's what people can talk about now, but previous to that it was just how everybody's moving to Asheville and how cool and cultural it is. To me, what happened yesterday wasn't even about the floods, it was about, well, I've been to Asheville.

Because if you're in North, if you're in California and you're in the entertainment industry, which many people are out here, maybe something took you to Asheville or something took you to Wilmington. And so those are the cities that will get mentioned. And then I'll be like, well, I'm from the central part of the state near Raleigh.

And even though Raleigh's way bigger than Asheville. It's not really a destination. But it kind of is, is the thing is. It's just not in the same way that Asheville is. It's a great city and it's growing, but it's not- I don't think people up and say, I wanna visit Raleigh. Yeah, that's true. But a lot of people are like,, I wanna visit Raleigh. Yeah, that's true, but a lot of people are like, I'm moving to Raleigh.

Yeah, that's happening. So that happens a lot. The dispute, well, the interesting thing about North Carolina is the dispute, there's a regional dispute, which we'll talk about in a moment. But the thing that makes it so interesting in the Triangle area is it's not a regional dispute.

It's literally the fact that these three schools, Duke Carolina and state are all right next to each other. And so it's not like a typical state where everyone in this part of the state is, you know, like in South Carolina, for instance. Okay, if you're on the Western part of the state, you're probably a Clemson fan. Right.

If you're closer to Columbia, you're a South Carolina fan. But what if both of the schools were in the same city? And so that happens a lot. So there's like almost real hatred. It gets- Yeah, can tear families apart. It gets just, you know, I'm in a mixed marriage. My wife went to Carolina.

Yeah. And so, you know, it has, the fact is that she doesn't care that much. So it doesn't really come up. But the thing that happens regionally, but I've never heard anyone fight over this, is just the barbecue sauce. The nature of the barbecue as you move across the state.

Right. I mean, North Carolina's got anywhere from three to probably maybe even six distinct barbecue sauces. But when you go down to South Carolina, you got the South Carolina mustard-based sauce. Which is really mostly Columbia. Right.

And it happens to be my favorite. But I've always felt bad about it because we in North Carolina pride ourselves on our barbecue and our barbecue sauces, so to like say, well, mine is actually from the underbelly of North Carolina. I think we made up this joke. I don't think anybody ever told it to us, but we have always referred to South Carolina as the underbelly. Because a lot of people out here, when they remember we're from the Carolinas, they can't remember which one. And if they say South Carolina, we always act offended. Because we have this idea...

We're not hootie and the blowfish. That we're... they're the underbelly. we're more sophisticated. We have actual cities. We have paved roads that they take care of. Right. We have laws that protect our citizens. Like, yes, you have to wear a helmet when you're on a motorcycle. Yeah.

No, you can't blow yourself to bits with any type of firework paraphernalia you wanna buy. We have some rules. And we have local, regional, and state government. None of these things, as far as I'm aware. They don't even have police in South Carolina. Or even in South Carolina.

It is a chaos state. It's like the purge down there. And that's the only reason I have a podcast for my dad. To protect him. To protect him. Just to raise his profile a little bit down there in Myrtle Beach so that he can... He can feel a little more insulated.

You don't have to have a tag on your car down there. No tags on your car, your motorcycle, your golf car. Oh yeah, and you can drive any type of motorized vehicle you can drive on any road. And just drive on the right, just like everywhere else, but you don't really have to. Yeah. Because there's no lines.

And the dogs don't, it's against the law to put them on a leash. It's one of the few laws actually. Yeah, do not leash your dog. Yeah. So that's why we'd say we're not from South Carolina, but we love their barbecue sauce. We love their barbecue sauce though, so it's tough.

I think that the barbecue sauce thing has really... By the way, nobody who goes to Clemson is from South Carolina. That's a different place. It's like its own little... And it's not a barbecue place, it's a meet and three place. Yeah, so it's like... The barbecue sauce thing is not what it used to be

because of the internet, the age of information. Now you go to a barbecue restaurant pretty much anywhere they're gonna have that mustard sauce as an option, even out here. You might have like Carolina sauce, Eastern Carolina sauce that's more vinegary. A lot of times you'll get both of the North Carolina sauces, but both of the Carolina sauces in one restaurant, even barbecue restaurants out here. You see, you get more of the North Carolina sauces, both of the Carolina sauces in one restaurant,

even barbecue restaurants out here. You see, you get more of the tomato-based and the vinegar-based, then you get the mustard-based. And if they wanna go real crazy, then they can do the mayonnaise-based from that certain part of Alabama, which I like that too. That hardly ever happens at a barbecue restaurant though. Is that supposed to go on chicken?

Still goes on smoked chicken. Oh yeah. I'd like to get me some of that. I think it's Northern Alabama. I can't remember. That's a good one. We thought about this a lot at one point. But no one, there's still some holdouts.

I would expect that like your father-in-law is a holdout. You know, he's- For vinegar based? Yeah. Oh yeah. Because- He lives there. Oh yeah. Because- He lives there. Different generation, he's in Eastern North Carolina.

Yeah, it's a way of life. And so it'd be like offensive to put something else on barbecue. Probably. Right? But I think this generation, they're like, I don't care, it tastes good. I'm not gonna fight about it. But that's it with South Carolina. It gives us something to look down on just because they're south of us.

And then they can look down on Georgia, and then Georgia looks down on Florida. Exactly. Exactly. Alright, let's take this test. How's this gonna work? Okay, so there is this thing going around where mostly for couples or really close best friends, like you guys, to see if you're on the same page, like same wavelength, like are you thinking alike? So I'll give you a word and then you guys are gonna have to say what word you think would go next in this. Got it.

And we say it like immediately. Immediately, so I could do like I'll say the word. You don't think about it. And then you just say it and see if you guys are saying the same thing. Okay. Okay. First word, show.

Time. Well, hold on. I thought we were gonna do some sort of a countdown. Well, okay, this is why I said immediately. I know, but my brain doesn't work immediately. Today, at least. Okay, do you wanna do like a one, two, three? Okay. Okay.

You said show... Well, now you... Well, I'm gonna use a different word. I don't know, I wouldn't have said show time. I would have probably said... I was thinking of like television. I probably would have said television. So it's not completing a word.

No, it's like. It's just the first thing that comes to your mind. Like association. Yeah, I mean it's like most of the people that do it, it's like what would be a word that like proceeds that word. So it could be like a phrase. Okay, all right, so we'll do a three, two, one. Yes. Okay, next word.

You can skip that one. Yes, next word. Ice. Okay. Q. Road truckers. Okay, all right. I'm gonna try harder now. Hold on, you weren't trying with road truckers? It's the first thing that came to mind, but...

That's a good show. I think you were still stuck on show. Hold on, you weren't trying with road truckers? It's the first thing that came to mind, but... That's a good show. I think you were still stuck on show. Yeah, I'm still thinking about television. You're breaking your brains too slow. Do you want me to do the countdown out loud? Yeah, do the countdown. Okay, next word.

You did it in your head that time? Well, I didn't know if you guys were gonna count down or not. Yeah, you did the countdown. Okay, last one, two, three. Meals. Come on! That's good. They're both shows.

Yeah, but one we own. Last of us. Yeah, I know. One we benefit from. Exactly. You gotta push the agenda, man. Last Meals on Mythical Kitchen Channel. You win that one, not that it's a competition.

All right, clean. One, two, three. Brush. Mister. Mister clean, all right. Go ahead. Wait, what did you say? I said brush. Oh, okay, interesting.

I don't know why. I clean, I like to clean with a brush. Like a toothbrush. I came from the dentist this morning. I clean my teeth with a brush. I came from the dentist this morning. Cleaned my teeth with the brush. Got that on the brain. Okay, next one. Air.

One, two. Hold on, let's really try. Yeah, the first thing that comes to mind, I'm just doing the first thing that comes to mind, and I'm sticking to it. All right. All right, one, two, three. Quality.

Air quality. Okay, are you just trying to finish, like put a word with it? Because don't do that, just do associations. No, I'm literally doing the first thing that comes up, but a lot of times that is a completion of a thought. Okay, all right. Okay, ready?

Green, one, two, three. Frog. Jolly. Jolly, Jolly. Green. Like Jolly Green. Giant. Okay. All right.

I almost said Kermit. We were both saying like mascots. I couldn't remember his name. I just pictured him in my head. Jolly. Oh, his first name's Jolly. Okay. Potato.

One, two, three. Fries. Mr. You did Mr. Clean and Mr. Potato? It just works. I only think of mascots for products. Okay. There was wrong with me.

Mr. Potato, Mr. Clean, and Jolly Green's Dad. All right, I'm gonna try to go your direction. No, don't try anything. Okay. Okay, big. One, two, three. Tom Hanks. Oh! What, seriously?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Big is Tom Hanks. Yeah, yeah, I was a little bit after you, but that was what I was gonna say. Haven't seen it, but I know he's in it. Wait, what? You haven't seen it? I haven't seen it. And you know what? I don't care to.

He's a kid in an adult's body. Just because you know what the movie's about doesn't mean you've seen it. It's just like... I didn't say it. I just said I hadn't seen it. Hold on. Don't see a need to.

I know it's about a man in a boy's body. Knowing what a movie's about, that's not the same as experiencing the movie. But it is a reason to not see the movie. No it's not! I don't wanna see this movie. It's from the 80s. It's dated probably. Knowing what it's about is how you decide to see a movie. They probably have plot points that hinge on outdated technology. Like corded phones.

On the long list of movies that you should see, Big is not on that list for me. What about Splash? Splash is not either. There's so many movies to get to before you get to Big and Splash. This star Tom Hanks? Alright. Okay, let's do a couple more. We got it right though. Yeah.

Why are we arguing? Let's do it again. Okay. Michael. One, two, three. Jackson. Keaton. Michael Keaton? Keaton.

Keaton? Michael Keaton. I don't even know who that is. It's from Family Ties. Batman. Oh yeah, Michael Keaton. Oh yeah, I remember him. Michael Keaton. I don't even know who that is. It's from Family Ties. Batman? Oh, yeah. Michael Keaton. Oh yeah, I remember him. Michael Keaton.

Batman, I've seen that. Yeah. Okay, one. Michael Jackson. Michael Jordan. I don't think of Michael Jackson. Michael Keaton? I don't think of Michael Jackson very often.

Michael Jordan? I try not to. Michael Keaton, I'm just... Michael Keaton. Okay, do you want me to try to match you you or just, I'm trying to do just the first thing that comes to my mind. Yeah, you try to match me. And you try to match me.

No, I'm gonna be me and you try to match me. Oh no, let's try to figure out what we would have in common and I think we'll get it right. Okay. Alright. Okay, music. One. Hold on. Okay. Two. Hold on. Okay.

Two. Hold on! We are so angry right now. I'm just joking. Three. What? Hold on, what's the word? Music.

Music is such a hard word. Okay. One, two, three. Country. Base. Base. I'm all about that base, man. Okay, alright.......... ...

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

...... think about myself, you said think about us. Okay, so when I said think about us, I wasn't thinking like, how does this thing connect us to an experience? I was like, what would be the first thing that both of us might think about if we had a second to think about? So are you trying to tie it to an experience that we've had? Are you trying to tie it to... It has to work for both of us. But in what sense? In any sense. Okay. Like you don't ride a mountain bike. It has nothing to do both of us. But in what sense? In any sense. Okay.

Like you don't ride a mountain bike. It has nothing to do with you. But a double bike, we've ridden together. So right, so that's different. That's not what I understood. What I understood we were doing is just like, we're trying to say the thing that we would both think of, not the thing that we both have experiential knowledge of.

All right, now we're just, something that we both think of. Yeah, yeah. All right. now we're just something that we both think of. Yeah, yeah, all right. Okay, pine. One, two, three. Tree. That's easy, that's easy.

I'm glad you didn't say nuts. That was an easy one. I almost said hearst. Okay, all right. See, if we think about what we're trying to do, like trying to say the same thing, we're gonna get this. That one was too easy. Tom Hanks, that was pretty good.

Tom Hanks was really good. Okay. Pool. One, two, three. Float. Lifeguard. That's a tough one. There's a lot of things you can think of. Most pools I go to don't have lifeguards.

Yeah, it's your problem, hold on. He's gonna sneeze. And we'll take another. Apple. One, two, three. Computer. What did you say? Bottom. Bottom?

Apple bottom jeans? That's really what you thought of it? I'm really surprised no one said pie. Yeah, that would be. Why would we say that? Cause you like pie. I don't like apple pie. that? Because you like pie. He doesn't like apple pie.

Oh, really? I don't like the apples in it. If it was just an apple sauce pie, I'd really like that. That was a miss. Apple sauce pie, that's a good idea. No, it's not. Let's put the most bland representation of apples into a pie. Okay. Flash. Let's put the most bland representation of apples into a pie.

Flash. One, two, three. Spans. Okay. All right, one more. One more, okay. Until we get one more. Okay. Hot.

One, two, three. Pants. Four teacher. We were in the same place, kinda. Pants. For teacher. We were in the same place, kinda. Okay. Hot pants. All right, we're gonna get this. Okay. Sauce. One, two, three.

One, two, three. Lloyd. Guest. Oh God. At least we didn't say Columbus. All right, come on, keep going, keep going. We don't need to overthink this. Okay.

Wallet. One, two, three. And grommet. That's Wallace. Wallet and grommet? You're such a loser. I'm just saying that they... Wallet and grommet. It's not even it. It was straight to DVD. It was straight to DVD. Wow. Wallet and grommet.

Cash man. Okay. Stick. One, two, three. Fetch. Ooh I thought we had it. We both had F words. We're getting close. Okay.

Record. One, two, three. Vinyl. Needle. Ah. Okay. Doctor. One, two, three. Finger. Doctor of love.

He uses his fingers a lot, I don't know. Doctor of love? You're not even trying anymore. No, I am trying! You're giving up. What even is a Doctor of love? I don't know. You don't even know, it's not a thing.

Doctor of love? Yeah, it's like a, there's a song about it. It's a Doctor of Love song. What? You know there's not. Who sings it? No, you can't use your phone. Yeah, I can. Doctor of Love. Yeah. I'm sure it's the name of a song somewhere somehow, but not one that any

of us are familiar with, including you. No, it's like a 50's song. Austin Attow. Doctor of Love. I don't know. including you. No, it's like a Fitchy song. Austin Attow. Doctor of Love. I don't know. Well there's Calling Doctor Love. Then there's Ask Doctor Love.

No, neither of these are Doctor Love. You should have said Finger. Okay. That's how doctors, Doctor, man. Peanut. One, two, three. Allergy. It's for sure.

Hold on. Oh man. Hold on. I said the first thing that came to my mind. You can't be mad at me ever again. All right, Doctor Love, that's on me. Come on, all right, give me another one. Peanut, peanut.

Allergy. Sweater. One, two, three. Vest. Christmas. Please keep going. It hurts. Sweater vest. Ball. One, two, three.

And chain. There's no way. We're two, three. And chain. There's no way. We're getting further apart. I don't know, we have to go until we get one. Okay. Okay. Hammer. One, two, three. And nail. MC.

MC Hammer? He even dropped MC from his own name. I thought that was gonna be it. You were like this, I was like, he's gonna say Hammer. I thought that was gonna be it. Nail! I was like, he's gonna say MC. Everyone listening was thinking, nail.

Yeah, okay. I was thinking you were gonna say MC. Oh, you thought we both were gonna say MC. I thought you were. MC Hammer, I mean, he just goes by Hammer now. Okay, when we loved him, it was MC Hammer. He dropped it. Okay.

Okay. Rainbow. One, two, three. Gold. Gay. Alright, come on, keep going. I don't want to bask in losing. I love this, okay. Belt. One, two, three. Pants.

Black belt? Yeah. Like a karate? Like a karate. Okay. Nest. One, two, three. Camera. What?

Nest? I can't do it. Well, it's a brand name of camera. It is. It is, but it took me a second to figure out where mine was. Oh, God. Bird. Should have said bird. You should have said nail.

Camera. This could have said nail. Camera. This could've been over years ago. If you'd have just said what I said earlier, we'd be done. Well, if you had said bird, then camera. Okay, bowling. One, two, three. Ally.

Yes! Instead of bow, we didn't say bow. We didn't say bow. We said Ally. Woo, man. That really took the life out of me. Wow. How well do you know your best friend?

Did you get more of those than we did? Oh my God, there's another game that would be so much fun. That's the beauty. We don't really think alike. That's the beauty. We don't really think alike. That's the beauty of our relationship. We agree on a lot of things, but we don't think alike. So we arrive at the same conclusion in different ways. Oh, you're here too.

Yeah. We'll take that as a strength and something to celebrate. But please call us and tell us that you peed the bed if you're a middle-aged man. That's really what we care about. Even if it's not true, please. I mean, no, it needs to be true, because we can tell if you're lying. So do that. Hopefully it happens more often than I thought. Yeah. I think we asked people to do it when I peed the bed, and we got a few people.

We got a lot. It happens. Oh, really? Good! But no, and we got a few people. We got a lot, it happens. Oh, really good. But no, we're asking for it again. Yes, we need refreshed stories. To make Rhett feel better this time. Right, right. Alright, talk at you next week. Hey Rhett and Link, this is Sarah from West Virginia.

Just wanted to call and say that my husband and I have fully adopted your phrase, we're still good, from the Will It Barbecue episode. We are small business owners. We own a coffee shop slash bakery. And it can be challenging to say the least. And when everything just seems to be going wrong, one of us will yell, we're still good! And it makes us laugh every single time and brings us out of that. So thank you for bringing smiles to all us mythical beasts.

Have a great day, guys. We love you. Bye.
