This week at the round table of dim lighting, we're talking about the surprising items that are revolutionizing our everyday lives. You know, you might say, man, that product sounds stupid. But until you find yourself or someone close to you using it constantly, you're like, man, maybe there's something to this.

Well, also, I mean, I think this is something you thought you couldn't, you thought you could do without, but now you realize you need it. Can't live without it. You need it all the time. Can't live without it. You need it every day. We got a lot of responses. You said you asked the question, you didn't finish the sentence.

We said, what's the surprising item that's revolutionized your everyday life? Maybe it's a special tool, a gadget, something around the house, work, school, you know, just trying to jog people's thoughts because we put these prompts out there, y'all. If you respond to them, we're gonna talk about, we're gonna talk about your perspectives.

And we do this on Twitter. On Twitter, Twitter. At Mythical, follow us. Some people have created Twitter accounts just to participate, we appreciate that. That's nice. We hear you, we notice. So we'll get to that in a second,

but something has happened to me two days in a row. And I just wanna throw it out there and see if you think there's any significance to it. Oh, significance. Okay. This is not unusual. I think that lots of people talk about this phenomenon, but it hasn't happened to me in a while and it's happened two days in a row.

Okay. Waking up and knowing that I have woken up one minute before my alarm goes off. Oh yes, yeah, yeah. And not just looking. It's uncanny. Not just looking over to guess, but having a knowledge and then looking over to confirm it.

Oh, okay. So you have a knowledge. Okay. Your eyes aren't even open yet, but you know you're waking up and you're about to look at the clock and you're saying, my clock's gonna go off in one minute. Well, so my phone is on a little stand,

a wireless stand. It's not something I can live without it. It's not an item that I'm gonna talk about. But it is a new thing that I got that has my watch, my phone and my air, what do you call them, AirPods? I don't know. All wirelessly charging on one thing. It's kind of cool.

But my phone, here's why I know that I'm not being influenced by seeing it. I have to hit my phone in order to turn the screen on to see what time it is. That's the only indication of what time it is. So yesterday I woke up and I was like, my alarm's about to go off. Like literally it's gonna go off if I don't reach over there.

Reached over there, it was 6.29. My alarm went off at 6.30, but I stopped it literally like 15 seconds. So I was like, oh, okay, well that happens this morning. Yeah. Alarm is set for 6.15. I don't get up, okay, well that happens. This morning. Yeah. Alarm is set for 6.15. I don't get up at the same time every day. Different, had different things going on.

That's the weird thing. Oh, you changed the times. Two different times. Okay, that kind of blows the theory here. Right, that's why I'm so shaken by it. That's crazy. All right, so today was day two, this morning? Well, I gotta get more data, man. Okay, I woke up this morning and I had the same feeling.

And I will say, just in full disclosure, it was 6.13. So it wasn't 6.14, it wasn't one minute, but it was two minutes. And I was like, I woke up and I was like- So it was the second day in a row you had said it at the same time. I did it again. Here's the thing. That's wild.

This isn't normal. Now, when had said it at the same time. I did it again. Here's the thing. That's wild. This isn't normal. Now, when I get up at the same time, but I don't get up at the same time. I don't. I get up at the same time and there's many times when I wake up right before the alarm goes off. Like the 60 seconds before.

And you also go to bed at the same time, right? Yeah. If you go to bed at the same time and you get up at the same time, this is not unusual. But I haven't gone to bed at the same time. Well, I would like to think I was special too, so. No, because your body is, adjust to a rhythm. No, I'm special.

You're special in other ways. Everyone knows that. But I don't go to bed at the same time every day. Yeah, that's a- My bedtime range- It's not a circadian thing, man. I mean, sometimes I might be like, I'm really tired and I'll go to bed at 9.30.

Like I'll go to bed at 9.30. And then sometimes I'll be like, it's midnight. I haven't thought about bed yet. I'll go to bed at 12.30. And any of these things can happen. It has nothing to, it just, whatever happens, happens. And then the morning is based on what I need to do that day. So when you're going to bed, do you make the decision,

do you set your alarm clock? Cause that's changing too apparently. You make a decision is, will it be 6.15? Will it be 6.30? Yeah. And how big of a range is that? No earlier than six o'clock, no later than 7.30. And if I don't set my, if I need to,

if I want to sleep later, I can't sleep past 7.30. I cannot. It is physically, now that I've hit my forties, physically impossible to sleep past 7.30. And I really, really hate that. I can go back to sleep, but I do wake up. Well, listen, I'm gonna count the third day this morning. You got three days in a row.

I think you need to keep track in this because maybe there's some, this is something to be harnessed. Do you think it's supernatural? No. That's really what the question. I wish it was, because that'd be fun to talk about. Do you think this is the- But no,

I can't say it's supernatural. Do you think it's the beginning of maybe I could be, maybe I'm like, this is my origin story for like a superhero. The guy who can wake up right before his alarm and harnesses that as a superpower. The alarm anticipator. Yeah, that's good, the anticipa, exactly.

This is what I'm saying. You know what you could do? I would be called the anticipator and I'll start anticipating things right before they happen and saving people. Well, okay, like dismantling a bomb? No, it has to be things that are based on a schedule, like a train is coming.

If you were taking a nap and there was a bomb, you could maximize your sleep and then wake up and diffuse the bomb right before it goes off, thereby getting the most rest possible. I think that's- So you have a good day. I think that's too complex. I think it's more like there is a child that has fallen into the place where the trains come

and the subway. Okay, and you're taking a nap, and as the child is falling, you wake up right before he hits the asphalt and you catch him. No, no, no. Again, I wake up right before he hits the asphalt and catch him. No, no, no. Again, I wake up right before the train comes. I let the child be down there, I mean, maybe seven, eight.

If the child hit the ground, he probably died. No, no, no, no. He landed on his feet and then he rolled over and now everyone's panicking. They're trying to like, should we pull him up? And I have a little, I'm sleeping seven to eight minutes and then I'm like, train's coming. And then I wake up and then I see that a child, I didn't know about the child,

I see the child because I've woken up because the train is coming, then because I got long arms, I pull up. So you're really- Yeah, that's the superhero that I'm gonna be, the anticipator. And what that means is that you're a superhero with no real powers except that you can maximize your sleep

before doing something that you need to do. Matter of fact, you're kind of like a normal person that wakes up with an alarm and does something. I think you're seeing the wrong end of this because what I'm saying has nothing to do with the sleep. The sleep is only the way that the anticipator begins to anticipate. So you put the anticipator in a situation

where something could be on a certain schedule, like put the anticipator in a situation where something could be on a certain schedule, like put the anticipator in there, put him to sleep, he'll wake up right before this thing happens. But the reason why he's so good. Not to defuse the bomb, but right before the bomb goes off. So probably too late, but at least we'll know it's gonna happen. Well, you can take that into account.

You can anticipate the amount of time it takes to defuse the bomb if you're the anticipator. I don't think I could get that sophisticated. Yeah, then you suck. But you're gonna be well rested and I think that that counts for something. Yeah. It's interesting because it was just last week

we were talking about the strange habits of successful people and one of the things we didn't talk about was there's a number of people that wake up without an alarm clock. Oprah is the only one I remember off the top of my head. Oprah, I mean, you can stop, the list could stop there and it would be a ringing endorsement. I think after a while, no, there's no ringing.

That's the point. Hmm. You could do- It's a silent endorsement. I feel like- Of waking up without an alarm clock. So you can do that. I can do that now. And that is a, that is a.

I can't sleep past 730. Here's another thing, by the way. But I can't say five o'clock, don't need an alarm. Is that what she does? She sets a time and then just wakes up for it? I think I know why this is happening with you. Because you have inadvertently set up a system to train yourself to do this.

You don't have a clock that's easily visible from your bed. You have to wake up more than you need to in order to see what time it is to see if you need to get up. For me, I have a clock visible there that I don't use it as the alarm. I use my phone as the wake up alarm and stuff like that. But I can just easily roll over, just like,

kinda like a quarter of the way, open one eye and see what time it is. I don't like that. And then just immediately go back to sleep. That's also why you're not able to sleep later. On the weekends or something, you just need to be able to roll over, give a little crack to the eye.

Oh, I've got 20 minutes, I got an hour. The reason I can't sleep late is because, this is a sore subject between me and my wife, our bedroom doesn't have blocking blinds because whoever we bought the house from installed translucent blinds. You could change that. Well, yeah, I've been talking about it,

we've been in this house for going on six years. And what I told my wife, I'm like, you know, when we were on tour and I would be like in a hotel with those, you know, there's like vinyl curtains that like completely block out everything. And we'd be on a weird schedule and we'd be on the bus and I wouldn't sleep right on the bus. And then we would get there

and we would have a show that night. I'd sleep till like noon, I felt like a teen again. The reason I can't- Because they had those blocking curtains, man. The reason I can't sleep late, I believe is because the sunlight comes in and I tell Jessie, I'm like- Well, that's the first thing.

Can we just get blocking blinds? And she says, well, I'm gonna redo the bedroom and then we'll, and I'm gonna get, then she starts telling me all the things she's gonna do on the windows. And she says, and they'll block sun, but I'm not ready. I'm not ready to do that.

And I'm like, well, I'm ready to sleep past 7.30. And then we come to this standstill and it never goes anywhere. It's not really a standstill. It's just kind of a clarification of who's in charge. Well, that's for sure. Yeah. I mean. It's not a a standstill. It's just kind of a clarification of who's in charge. Well, that's for sure, yeah. I mean. It's not a stalemate.

I think someone has won. Oh yeah, well she, yeah. She has won. She wins. Beauty mask, man. Well, it doesn't stay, I can't. Duct tape. It doesn't stay on my face.

It's uncomfortable. I mean, come on, man. I'm trying to help you and then. Do you still wear a beauty mask? Look at this face. Do I need a beauty mask? But you, but. No, no, no, I'm trying to help you and then- Do you still wear a beauty mask? Look at this face, do I need a beauty mask? But you- No, no, no, I don't. But usually when you commit to something, you don't ever stop doing it

until your death in the distant future. I think that will come up as we go through some of these things because I'm gonna talk about some of the things in my life I can't live without. But you used one of those for a while. And I'll, I used it on tour. Yeah, for some of the same reasons you're talking about.

Just blocking out light. Especially, I started using it on a plane when I was a plane rider. And then on the bus on tour and stuff like that. But yeah, never at home. I feel like I can still sense the sun like on my skin. Never at home. Let's get I can still sense the sun like on my skin. Never at home. Let's get to one of these, huh?

Ash responded to our prompt. Ash says, a wristwatch. I always just use my phone and would get lost in the notifications easily and sometimes even forget to check the time. It can be used for time management, meaning just the wristwatch, workouts, when someone asks check the time. It can be used for time management, meaning just the wristwatch, workouts, when someone asks for the time,

and even as an accessory, oh, for fashion. Changes the game for real, hashtag Ear Biscuits. Think it's Ash for the throwback answer right off the bat here. Is this a smart watch or is this just a wristwatch? Yeah, what Ash is saying is it's just a wristwatch. It's an anti, it's a dumb watch. How do you use that for a workout?

I don't, yeah, that's a, I guess timing intervals. Timing a workout? Just timing intervals. Or like Tabata, you know, Tabata training. Never heard that word. 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off. Tabata, you know, Tabata training. Never heard that word. 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off. Tabata. It's just like high intensity interval training.

Okay, the word makes me hungry. It should definitely be a food. Really? Yeah. Oh, Tanada's Tabata night. Have you had the Tabata burger from? Tabata's. No, it's kinda like a, I don't know, it's not a burger.

It's more like a, it's like a taco and a tostada. Kind of, it's like a half folded taco. Okay, but we are talking about a regular wristwatch, which I don't know, man. I respect this simplification of life. I mean, we both have smartwatches on, you know. Well, yours is loose. You're repping the dinky.

You just went like this. And I'm repping the Apple Watch. Hold on, do that again. I'm repping the Garmin. Why is it so loose? Because when I get out of the shower, I like to, of course, blow dry my entire body. And that includes under my watch. Cause I don't like having moist areas.

You're not getting good data, man. That's so loose. You're not getting good body data. Your biometrics are gonna be way off. When I'm doing a workout. Oh, but then you go tight. Then I tighten it up, but I don't like it too tight. No, like daily biometrics, man.

Yeah, I know, I know. But there's a vein, you know, there's a vein right there. And I don't like it. You think you're gonna cut the vein off? No, yeah, I know, I know. But there's a vein, you know, there's a vein right there. And I don't like- You think you're gonna cut the vein off? No, yeah, I feel like I'm crimping the vein. My kids know that I'm like so vein sensitive. Sometimes I'll just be sitting somewhere and just a random kid will just come up

and like that vein right there. A random kid? Well, one of my three. It's like once you have three- I thought you were like random kids in again. You interact, when you have three kids and you interact with them, it starts to feel like you're just randomly interacting

with children. And they touch your veins? Or teens. Just to screw with me, yeah. Oh, good, yeah. They're like, and you know, like back there when your forearm's up and like the back of that forearm, there's that one really big vein. Oh gosh, I'm sorry if I'm freaking out other people too,

but hey, I'm with you. Cause they will touch that vein. Oh, just to screw with me. And so you think the watch is constricting the vein? It's crimping my vein, man. I just think you're potentially compromising the function of the watch, but we have smartwatches. Now, I'm intrigued by this question because just recently,

I didn't tell you about this. You don't have to tell me everything. I also didn't show you this, but- But I do expect it. In fact, yesterday. Okay, come clean. Yesterday, when I left my house, okay, my shirt was tucked in. when I left my house, okay,

my shirt was tucked in. Oh, you, okay. Okay. All right, I see where this is going. Okay, again, I feel like I'm in a weird phase of my life right now. Yeah, you know what? It's okay, Rhett. And you know, it's very okay. I feel- Well, being in a weird phase is okay. I feel- What you're about to tell me, I don't know if it's okay, Rhett. And you know, it's very okay. I feel being in a weird phase is okay.

What you're about to tell me, I don't know if it's okay. Well, I'm gonna get back to wristwatch. Just go with me here. I feel like I'm hitting this part of my life where I understand that I am, I'm accepting some things about myself. One of the things I'm accepting is that I'm a 43 year old man, right?

And so there's things happening. Like we talked, last time we talked about trying to embrace like, I'm gonna dress in a certain way and I'm not gonna try to be in style or whatever. There's other things that are coming along with that. And one of the things just yesterday, and now firstly, you know I wear a belt and we're gonna get to that later as well, but I-

Stay tuned if you're a belt person. Well, somebody suggested that. I had a shirt that's a little bit too short, but I liked it. And I was like, what if I just tucked? What if I just tucked this shirt in? And I tucked the shirt in and I walked out and of course showed my wife who immediately starts laughing

but because she knows that I'm coming to ask her what she thinks about the tucked in shirt, I don't tuck my shirt in. Because as we've established, we know who has the power. And she said, I was like, well, what do you think? She was like, do what you wanna do. Huh. And I was like, but do you like it?

And she said. No. She said. There's no way. No, she said, I think it looks good. Was it a? It was the shirt, you saw me yesterday. It was the.

Is the button up? It was a button up. It was the button up. It was the button up from that sponsor that we had that I'm not gonna mention because they're not sponsoring this episode. Oh. I love the shirt, I love the way it feels. I just wish it was about an inch longer.

And so I tucked it in. So the shirt's the problem. And then I came in and I had to take a leak. And I was like, okay, as a man who has his shirt tucked in, not as a man who tucks his shirt in, this is a man who doesn't tuck his shirt in who currently has his shirt tucked in, who's thinking about transitioning to become the man

who tucks his shirt in, because why not? I mean, maybe that's what I'm gonna become is the guy who has his shirt tucked in. No, I'll answer that question, but I'll give you your moment. And then I was like, well, you know how like, you know how like when we go or be on a talk show and we wear a suit.

Yeah, I know when we'd be on a talk show. And you gotta take a piss right before you go on. Don't say piss, it's a little harsh. And you- For the tone of this conversation. Take a tinkle. Good. When you, and you don't wanna untuck your shirt because you've got it all the tone of this conversation. Take a tinkle. Good. And you don't wanna untuck your shirt because you've got it all the way that you want. Yes. So you use the zipper

and as the zipper is intended. That, first of all, let me just say, that whole process- That's a farce, man. That whole process of getting your tally wacker out of your underwear and out of your zipper. Right. And then- I've seen childbirth easier than that.

And then fully getting it, feeling like you've got it all out. I don't know, I just feel like I gotta reach under there and kinda- Talk about crimping the vein. I feel like, you know, I feel like I gotta- You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah.

I feel like I gotta hit the evac button. You know the evac button? You know where it is and you feel like you gotta hit it just to make sure. And this is not an old man thing, I've been doing this since I was a toddler. The taint, the taint. You gotta hit the taint.

You gotta press the taint, make sure that it's all out. You gotta touch the taint button. Yeah, and evac button is what I'm calling it. And you can't get to the taint. Anyone who doesn't know about this, what some people who don't know about it are picturing right now is you're reaching down there and like you're pressing a button

and all of a sudden there's like a gush. Well, sometimes there's something and sometimes there's not. That's why you do it. It's a safety, it's a backup. Yeah, it's a- And it's especially important when you've got the Tallywacker out of the pants

and you're about to go on national television and you don't wanna have a P spot. So, cause sometimes as you're pulling it back in, you know what I'm saying? If you haven't hit the evac button, it might decide to evac on its own. If the sea snakes going back in the coral. He's gonna leave a little,

do they spray ink? I don't know, whatever. So I'm in the bathroom and I've got it out. Great. And then I'm like, what the hell am I doing? Yes. Right, right, right. Yeah.

And so I put it back in and I unzip. Okay, oh. And I hit the evac button. Hold on, unzip? You had already unzipped, it was out. I undid my belt and took everything out. Oh, okay, okay. You unbuttoned and unbelted.

Because I couldn't get to it. And then. But you didn't put it back in first. There's no need to do that. No, I put it back in my underwear because I had to then pull my underwear down. Oh God, forgot about that. This is so graphic.

I mean, speaking of graphic, I kind of need a diagram so that it makes sure people are following. I'll put pictures on my Instagram. No, I won't. Okay, so anyway, after I took it out, and by that I mean my shirt tail, I'm like, what am I doing? I'll worry about this another day.

And then I just left it out and I came in here and forgot all about it. But earlier that day when I was tucked, I went and looked at myself in the full-length mirror that we have in our bathroom. And I was like, you know, I've got these boots and I've got these jeans and I've got my button up tucked in and I've got this belt.

You got this beard, you got that face. And then I looked at my Apple watch, my smart watch. And I was like, that doesn't fit. That doesn't fit this persona. Like if I'm building a Sims character, this guy wouldn't have an Apple watch. He would have like a real wrist watch. He would have an analog watch.

You're talking about what I've got. No. A manly watch. No, that's a digital watch. It's a smart watch. It looks like a diver's watch. I'm saying, I'm talking about like a metal, like a metal watch that's shiny and has like a leather band or a metal band

or something like that. A fancy watch. And so then I was like, do I need that to complete this look? And then I just- You're gonna buy a watch to justify tucking in your shirt? You really are upended, man. You need a retreat.

No, I just think that there's a transition happening. And I feel like if you tuck the shirt in, I at least got to go back to, I have a leather band for this watch that I wear. I got to put the leather band back on the Apple watch. Don't go down this road. Shop Best Buy's ultimate smartphone sale today. Get a Best Buy gift card of up to $200

I'm embracing what is going to unfold over the next decade and what is going to fold, apparently my t-shirt into my pants and maybe my wiener into my zipper. Wiener. There's a wiener into your zipper. I'm just saying, I just feel like that's what this made me think about

is that maybe I need to watch, not because I need to do all this stuff that Ash is talking about, but because I need to complete the look. Everything you've said. Mm-hmm, yeah. Is important. Yeah, to the decision that is obvious

that you need to make. You've made every argument as to why you should not be tucking your shirts in. Why, what? How is that where you land on this? You know what? Listen to Ear Biscuits, this episode, wherever podcasts are found,

and the past 10 minutes, just listen back to it and it will all become clear to you. You should not be tucking in your shirt. But I should be tucking my shirt in. But I wanna go back. Forget where we thought we were going for the time being. I'm gonna tuck it in. I wanna go back to the peeing thing because listen, man,

I feel like we could help you. We always talk about this at the beginning of Ear Biscuits. Going through- Why does this happen? Going like, trying to like exit, get your wiener to come out of the underwear through that thing and then go through the, like to go through this gauntlet in order to pee is it kinks things up.

It's not a, it does, it creates problems. And even if you're gonna push that button, like, I mean, I've tried some things over the years and boy, you think you're done, you think you pressed a button and stuff like that and then you put it back in your pants. I full on peed in my pants thinking that I was done. And I'm talking like, within the past month it happened. But I wasn't even tucking my shirt in.

Hold on, you're saying that you did your normal technique and you still whizzed on yourself. I can't remember. Is that what you're saying? Yeah, I can't remember what happened, but I definitely can't just like, you think it works that way, but it doesn't because you just, there's too many kinks in the hose.

It's just not, it's not, especially with the tighter pants. The tighter pants is a problem. And that's the real problem with the suits that we wear that are just way too tight. But that's what they say we should be wearing. I don't wanna get more graphic, but I'm going to, because I think that it, You need to.

I think that, well, listen, I'm not embarrassed. And I don't, but you talk about pushing the button. I mean, I am so afraid of peeing in my own pants or dribbling or like being seen with like the dribbles on that, like coming through the pants that sometimes you have to go all the way to just milk the snake. Oh gosh.

I mean, I- You ever seen somebody milk a real snake? Like milk the venom out of a snake? Yeah, that's different. They like put the fangs over the edge of a cup. I'm not talking about that. I don't do anything with my wiener that looks like that. Well, I do.

I mean, not the, I don't like, I don't like put it on the edge of the toilet seat and then bring a foot up and like stomp on it. Take the other part of the seat and bring it down. Get on your knees, just like, dad, what are you doing? Don't touch my vein. Yeah, it's like, you better make sure the door is locked

if you're gonna take a knee and use the seat to smush out any remnants. Yeah, I don't have to do that. Oh man. Usually it's just a quick press of the button. I mean, there's a lot of- And if you don't know about this button- The button, I don't think-

You don't think everybody has the button? The button isn't foolproof. To me, it's like, if you got a, the button is just, picture if there were buttons all along the exit route and you're pushing multiple buttons. Yeah, well, that is the foolproof way. I mean, out of compulsion, I'd do that.

I'll do that if I'm wearing like gray sweats. Right. If I'm wearing something that's like. You can't afford a dry. Okay, here's when I'll do the milk. Here's when I'll milk this thing. If I'm wearing gray sweats at someone else's house. You know what I'm saying?

Where I gotta come back out in a party. Those two things usually don't happen. I don't wanna be in my own house. Great sweats in somebody else's house. You know, I haven't been in somebody else. I was at your house recently, but I was wearing- You went in the bathroom a long time too. Well, I was taking a dump.

Took a dump in your bathroom the other night. Sorry, I mean, I thought that was what it was for. Not ideally for you, no. I mean, I don't come over to your house thinking I'm definitely gonna take a dump, but Christy's done a really good job with that guest bathroom. It's a nice bathroom, I like being in there.

Yeah, it's inviting. If somebody's done a really good job of designing a bathroom, and as a matter of fact, everybody on the wall in your bathroom is what you have on your shirt. That's right. Is it the same artist? I don't know.

I think it's either whoever made the wallpaper is ripping off the artist who made your shirt or it's the same artist. I like feeling like there's an audience of a bunch of people watching me take a dump. Well, I didn't have to milk the snake because I had on black jeans. Yeah, you gotta think about that.

And that's why I can wear my underwear. How's this become a bonus? More days than most people. If you're still listening, I'm sorry. I got a lot of backlash for confessing that like, I don't, some, you know, I wear the same pair of underwear. I don't know what I said, but now I'm just gonna say two days in a row.

And you know what, since I confessed that and people just gave me shit about it, I don't do that anymore, but that's because I didn't wanna talk about, well, listen. You could do what you want. I have a bidet and I milk the snake. So there's nothing happening inside of my underwear

except a little bit of sweat. And I don't even, that's not where I sweat. So I'm fine y'all. I'm fine. Okay. Don't judge me. What was the last thing that filled you with wonder that took you away from your desk or your car in traffic? Well, for us, and I'm going to guess for some of you,

that thing is... Anime! Hi, I'm Nick Friedman. I'm Lee Alec Murray. And I'm Leah President. And welcome to Crunchyroll Presents The Anime Effect. It's a weekly news show. With the best celebrity guests.

And hot takes galore. So join us every Friday wherever you get your podcasts and watch full video episodes on Crunchyroll or on the Crunchyroll YouTube channel. All right. Okay. Oh, you're still with us. Wow. Wow. That was quite a test. There's a number of people who stopped listening

to this one or at least fast forwarded to this point. Welcome. Mari said, audiobooks is something I can't live without. I didn't think I'd retain the book as much compared to reading it myself, but I tried it out with Rhett's rec of The Stranger in the Woods, and I must say it's been nice lounging on the sofa,

having a book read to me. Kind of feel like royalty. I think read to me. Oh, having a book. Is spelled the same way. Well, no, I'm thinking that the book is reading to you. Well, I mean, I guess either one of them works technically. Having someone read to you.

I think they intended to read, but okay. Having a book read to me. Unless you think the book itself is reading. Either way, all right, I'm feeling this, Mari. I mean, I too have gotten more into audio books having listened to you talk about listening to books. It's like, yeah, I should be doing that. So I go through like the podcast phase

and then I'll go back to the book phase. I got too many credits on my Audible account. So I was looking into pausing it, which you have to email customer service to pause it and you can pause it for three months. Jessica, get more books, man. How many credits do you have to email customer service to pause it and you can pause it for three months. Jessica, get more books, man. How many credits do you have? Eight.

I just don't, I only listen to- Keep it going. I only listen to books when I'm walking, sometimes in the car. Yeah, I'm- I don't, I mean, I've never laid down and just had a book read to me. No, I don't do that.

Sounds like fun though. Audiobooks, man. I feel like it has revolutionized the book industry because there has to be just, there's so many books already, but I'm reading and I use the term reading to say, listen, I don't like to say, I don't like to qualify. I found myself for over the past year or two,

I would always qualify. I read that, well, I listened to it on all right, but as if it was lesser, I don't believe that it's lesser. I mean, the most of the history of our species was pre-written. It was oral. species was pre-written. It was oral. You got your stories via an oral storyteller, right?

It's just a very recent concept, the idea that you have to justify that you're actually getting information because it's been translated into words? Screw that. But you- I mean written words. You are currently justifying it. I'm definitely justifying it.

But I'm saying I don't qualify it anymore. And you're saying that you don't need to. Exactly. So live in Jesse's power. You think my wife is- I'm just trying to make that a runner for the episode that she's powerful. Oh, she's very powerful.

But in contrast to you. I have no problem with admitting that. Right. Or living that truth. So just listen to the books. But here's what I'll say. You've empowered many, me, Mari. I'm listening, this morning,

listened to a book while I worked out, listening, I only listened to books while driving. I kinda feel like I've made a choice. I really like music, but I only listened to music while I'm writing, while I'm working. I don't listen to music any other time now. And it's- I have to split my time.

That's the thing for me with audio books is that I love listening to music so much that I kind of have to make a disciplined decision to continue to like get into my book. But like, so that's why walking, my walks has become my book zone and there's not a temptation to listen to music. So now when I'm mountain biking by myself,

I'll also, I can listen to an audio book sometimes. Well, and speaking of- Usually on the uphill, and then on the downhill part, I might switch to music. Oh, that's interesting. Because speaking of my powerful wife, she comes down and I like to work out by myself, okay? Let's just, I'll just be honest.

And she knows this, but you know, there's only so much time in the day for both of us. So sometimes we're both down there. Now, what I do when I'm working out is I listen to an audio book. And sometimes I listen to like a very dry, like academic audio book about some scientific concept or something like that while I'm like sitting there going,

ah, like, and she comes sitting there going, rawr! And she comes down there and just laughs at me. She's like, how do you do this? How do you work out hard and listen to this professor talk about this thing? Yeah, it's the juxtaposition. She's like, I gotta have music. And so she comes down, of course she's the powerful one,

so we listen to music. And when we're listening to music, I feel like I'm missing out on something. I'm like, man, I had an hour here and I was- Learning stuff. And if she wasn't here, I would be making my body better and also making my mind better. But now I'm just listening to drivel.

I'm listening to Alicia Keys say, this girl is on fire! Is Jessie doing that? Yeah, which by the way, is an excellent song to work out to. I understand. Yeah, it's got a big beat. And then there's that, I mean, Jessie has put together this playlist

and it's got some, you know, it's not current. It's got like that, you know when Gwen Stefani hit that stride and was like, what's, I don't know when it was, it was like 10 years ago. On that song with Eve where it's like, Zip, zip, zip, zip, zip, zip, zip, zip, zip, zip, zip. That's good to work out too.

Let me blow your mind. Yeah, and so she's got that kind of thing. Took a while to get my hands. I get this. And I'm gonna take my time. I start moving, but then I'm just like, man, I can't wait to get in my car to learn something. You're addicted to ideas.

Yeah, definitely. Think about it. Think about it, you're gonna get yourself into trouble. So what are we talking about? Audiobooks. I can't live without them. Couldn't live, I mean, of course I could live without them, but I see them as a necessary part of my life at this point.

Rachel said, pop socket. I thought they were so dumb till I got one and I can't hold my phone without it. Helps when I'm fidgety, but I don't switch out the designs, which you could do. You pop socketed for a while. I did and my phone case broke and I haven't gotten a new one

because I thought I was gonna get a new phone. So instead of getting a new case, I just waited until I got a new phone, but then I never got a new phone. So now I have a caseless phone and it's slicker because there's no case. I don't know how you live like that.

And I was thinking about instead of getting a case, just getting a pop socket. Hey, we sell those, mythical.com. You can get a mythical pop socket. You might think it's stupid until you try it out. I tried it out for a while. I gotta go back to it because I've noticed that, here's the thing, I hold the phone like this

and so my pinky is below the phone and it turns out there is, you know, you think you hold it in random places but it goes to the exact same place. I hold my phone in the exact same way. Right on the vein. And then I pinch the vein. And I'm getting a pain right here on my pinky finger.

This isn't funny. And literally it hurts. Like when I go to like my instinctive location to look at my phone, my pinky finger, there's a pain spot. Well. And I need a pop socket. No, look, rubber. See, I do the same thing, but mine doesn't hurt because I got a little rubber protective little thing.

And you know what? I think that's what it is. It didn't hurt until my, my case has been gone long enough that I've developed- You don't need a pop socket, you need a case. Carpet tunnel. We don't sell cases. Listen, maybe we should.

We sell pop sockets, but let me just say, this is truth in advertising. I don't use them. And I don't, I don't just say, this is truth in advertising. I don't use them and I don't, I don't, I don't- That's not what truth in advertising is. When you say you sell something, but you don't use it. It is truth in advertising. Okay, well you're being truthful about something that we advertise.

Yeah, but- That you don't use. I'm saying I want you to have the opportunity to buy a Mythical Popsocket. If you're into that. But I don't endorse them personally or use them. I just think that what happens with me with the Pop Socket is it makes it, it gets caught on. Yeah.

I just wanna get this thing in and out of my pocket as quickly as possible, but I wanted to have a little resistance. I can't imagine, there's been a couple of days when I've gone without a case. I mean, I have a case and a screen protector, a glass. Why don't they just make phones with the case as part of it? Well, because then you wouldn't have the power of choice.

And then also they wouldn't be able to brag about how thin it is. Make a phone good enough that you don't need a case. Well, I mean, that's how Neil deGrasse Tyson famously doesn't have a phone case. And when asked about it, he will take his phone and play around with it and show that he's like, I'm not gonna drop this.

Why would I need a case? The only reason I would need a case is if I needed the phone to be protected from me. And I don't need to protect my phone from me. But I, I'm not Neil deGrasse Tyson. I may be addicted to ideas, but I'm not Neil deGrasse Tyson. And I need a case because I do need

to protect my phone from myself. But I don't need a pop socket, but if you need one, more power to you. Jafar says, a memory foam pillow. I'm a tall fellow who has tremendous back and neck issues and switching to this pillow brought the pain I deal with in the mornings to an almost tolerable level. I have so much trouble sleeping without it.

The way you sleep is key to dealing with chronic pain, but that can't be the extent of it. Jafar, I'm gonna point you to Rhett's video where he shows you his stretching routine. He hasn't made it yet, but we're really laying on the pressure now. It's like- Well, here's what I'll say. You know, this is needed.

I just went on the internet and put together a bunch of exercises. It's not like I'm some stretching guru. I do plan on making a video about it, but like you can also just put together what feels good to you. Now I had neck pain when I went to my physical therapist who told me I needed to invite my rib to the party.

I believe I also told you at the time that she sold me a flaxseed filled cylindrical pillow that, I'll put it up on Amazon, this thing is called Saatchi Organics Buckwheat. Oh, so it's not flaxseed, it's buckwheat. Yeah, flaxseed's like what you eat. Cylinder neck pillow. I think some of them do have flaxseed, it's buckwheat. Yeah, flaxseed's like what you eat. Cylinder neck pillow. I think some of them do have flaxseed in them.

And I'm still using that thing almost a year later, but- That's the only pillow that you use? Yeah. So there's nothing else? Nothing else. But I kind of hate it. Do you sleep on your back or your side? But I do think it works. It forces me to sleep on my back.

And it arches my- Could you sleep on your side with it? It pushes my chin down into my neck and it kind of, so it stretches out the back of my neck in such a way that- And it doesn't hurt when you wake up? There's like, it kind of puts it in traction in a good way.

Oh yeah, I mean, the reviews are really positive on Amazon. 670 reviews, four and a half stars. I mean, it costs like 37 bucks. But I'll tell you, it took weeks of just saying, you know what, I'm committed to this thing. And even now, like almost a year later, whenever I roll on my side, it's really not that comfortable. So I kind of wake up.

I wake up enough to correct and go back to my back, but that's kind of part of it. I guess this memory foam pillow, the way that this one is shaped for Jafar kind of helps. I'm seeing a new one's being pushed on Instagram right now that has a hole, it's a memory foam pillow with a hole in the middle basically that simulates the same posture

that my seed pillow gives me. There's also the square pillow. Well, that one also has, if you sleep on your side- That's a side sleeper. It has two small, it has a big hole in the middle and two smaller holes on the side. So if you roll on your side, your ear is like suspended in a crater.

I'm like, okay, this sounds like a gimmick. Feels a little overboard. I'm gonna stick with my buckwheat pillow. Well, you know, I told you about the- I do think it's helped. The contraption that I bought that was designed to keep you sleeping on your back that had like, it was a belt that you wore

that had these big plastic balls. And so if you slept on your side, you would be sleeping on top of a ball and you'd wake up. I tried it for about a week and I just, I'm a side sleeper and I want to be a back sleeper. I think it's supposed to be, it's the best for a number of different reasons, but I don't know, I'm not having trouble with my back

or my neck because of sleeping. So I'm kind of just on my side. But here's my, now I want us to get your take on this because my resistance, my resistance to a particular pillow, now I have two pillows. They're both down pillows, but one of them is, one of them is too, like, your head goes all the way to the ground, that doesn't work.

And the other one, maybe it's not down. It's like synthetic down. And so it's actually got some support. So it feels good. That way you don't hear the echoes of the screaming geese in your ears. My resistance to pillows, specialty pillows is a fear of becoming reliant upon them.

Yeah, I was about to say, I think I would, I travel with my buckwheat pillow. It's small enough. It's like a quarter the size of like a normal pillow. It's just big enough to go underneath my neck and like come across my shoulders a little bit. Yeah, you can take it with you. Yeah, but that's why I resisted.

And I'm not currently hurting, but I'm glad Jafar has found a pillow. Something else that I was trying to think how would I answer this question? I've got a couple of things. A pill box. I've finally gotten a day of the week pill box for my supplements. Oh, so you're not

embracing your old age? Oh, Mr. Pill Box? Oh, we talk about embracing your old age. I know Christy told you this the other day. We were sitting down for dinner. You have a special pillow and you have a pill box. I mean, you should just come along and start tucking with me.

We were sitting down for dinner the other night and Christy said, you are such an old man. What are you drinking? It's 7 p.m., we're eating dinner and I'm like, coffee. I was drinking a, I mean, it was a Saturday. I like to stay up late so I'll drink my afternoon coffee later in the day. I realized I'd forgotten about it, but here I was at the dinner table,

eating dinner and drinking hot coffee. And that's such an old man thing to do. But you know what? I can't live without my pill box because that's, it's, I don't know. There's something rewarding about, I mean, it's so efficient. Like it makes me happy to know that like I can efficiently

just dump, open the Thursday container, pop them all into my mouth and just swallow away. What are you taking? It's the stuff that Christy gave me. You know where the power lies. Yeah, but do you know what it is? She could be poisoning you. She could be, but I think that's part of the trust.

How many things are we talking about? There's two huge black pills. Horse pills. That are like- Tranquilizers, tranquilizers. It's something that you and her both over the course of the pandemic have said I needed to have, but I don't know, it's a black pill.

And then I've got the wellness pill that is like a multivitamin. You legitimately do not know what it is. It's just like my wife told me to take it. I drink my coffee and I just put it in my mouth. Melatonin is one of them, but I think that one's really small. There's a fish oil one that I think-

You don't need to be taking melatonin every day. I'll let you vet my pills later. It's a small pill. Well, it doesn't matter how small it is. You don't need to be taking melatonin every day. Just tell me the days I need to take it and I can put it in that corresponding bin. I'll send you, and I could be wrong about all this.

That's what scares me. I'll talk to your wife about it. Again, it's like, I trust her. I'm not addicted to that idea of knowing what's in my pill box, you know? Like an old man should. When I put the pills in the box, all I do is I take this for the corresponding day

and I just swallow all the pills. Your case that you're not embracing your old age is quickly falling apart. I like the feeling of the efficiency of it and it also helps me know what day it is. Well, that's important. They certainly run together. That's important.

I have too many pills. In fact, I was recently searching for like, how could I get a pill box that could- You need buckets. Hold all of the things that I take. You need a series of connected buckets like Bozo the Clown's ping pong toss game. And I did, I don't remember when it was,

it was last year or a year or two ago, posted a picture of all the things that I was taking on my vacation. I was like seven, I don't know, two week vacation, here's what I'm taking. And of course, that's when the internet experts come out and they're like, there's no reason to be taking all of that stuff.

You just pee it all out and do it. Okay, maybe, yeah. You wanna talk about pee again? Is that what you're asking? I wanna use the pillbox. That's justification enough. That's what you should tell them. Well, I can't, every single morning,

I do something that would drive you absolutely nuts now that you've mentioned the pillbox. You open every one individually? It's almost a ritual at this point. I have a shelf that has all the things that I take. Now when I wake up, I take four things right before my workout. And then after my workout, I take about five or six things.

And then at night before I go to bed, I take about seven or six things. And then at night before I go to bed, I take about seven or eight things. Because you're addicted to ideas. And I have reasons for every single thing that I'm taking. But yeah, it's almost like, okay. You should try having no reasons like me. Here's this thing. I open it, I take it out, I take it.

And I'm like, this is not sustainable, but it's only something that has worked in quarantine because- Yeah, you got time to burn. But when we went on our little beach vacation, couple, I don't know when it was, a month ago or so, again, I don't have a pillbox that can accommodate this. So I put everything into one Ziploc bag

and I was like, I'll sort it out when I get there. Oh God. And then that was when I discovered that I've got a number of things that look similar. And I'm like, is that the vitamin D or is that the garlic? Well, I need both of them. So anyway, I just, if you know of a big pill box that can accommodate about 20 supplements

and then has it divided up by day, that doesn't look like a tackle box because I'm thinking about getting a tackle box because I feel like that might be the only thing that will hold it. Oh man, I remember I had a tackle box as a kid and I would store my GI Joe men in there. I totally forgotten about that.

Like all those little- About tackle boxes? All those little compartments. It's so fun. Well, maybe I'll get you a tackle box for your birthday. I love, I love it. I love the feeling of opening up something. And then the way that tackle boxes work is that you open the top shell case

and then it has the- Fans out. The tiered layers. It's like stadium seating in there. Yeah, it just kind of splays out before you, man. Yeah. Man, it's amazing. Okay, well maybe Tackle Box is what we're talking about. A product that I thought was stupid

until I found that we had one, we purchased one, and now I love it. I'm looking for excuses to use it. A Dustbuster. I remember when those first hit the scene in the 80s. Yeah, my mama had one. Nana and Papa had one at their house and I was like, wow, it's rechargeable.

It's a vacuum cleaner in the palm of your hand. It's just so much better than like a broom. What are you cleaning up with it? I think they bought it for like kitty litter that like strows out on the ground around the kitty litter box. I think that's why it, I think it appeared around the same time as Sokka

at the house, but now it's recharging in the garage because apparently Lily didn't wanna keep it in her room. So like, I'm just looking for, like little corners of the garage. Like I'm like, oh, there's, I could get, now I can get all the dust out of this corner of the garage. You know, it's here, I'm here, have a little bonding moment.

You know, it's just, you know, it's just- Not an old man. Just things that bring joy into your life. Dusting the corners. Dust busting the corners of his tackle box. Samantha really brought something that I have become completely dependent upon, a white noise machine.

My daughter is two and has been using it since she left the womb. And now I can't- Even I can't- Even I can't sleep without one. I've talked about my white noise machine, which is not, it's electronic, but it's supposed to like resemble the sound of a fan

and it's very loud and I have it on every single night for a number of reasons. One, my wife, she's so powerful. And when you're that powerful, sometimes it leads to snoring. Oh God. You know, cause you're just trying to contain it. And then also, you know,

if my kids are having emergencies or whatever, I want them to deal with that on their own. So I have this thing and then when I travel, I have to get my phone, I have the white noise app on my phone. But again, I have some shame around this because I have become, I mean, I haven't tried to sleep without it,

but even when I went on my solo trip and I'm out in the middle of nowhere, I'm like, I need my little. And so I'd use my phone, my phone would be like dead in the morning. I don't know, but I like to think about things in terms of how functional they would be, as I have said for years, when the war comes,

when World War III happens and we're all, you know, basically when the apocalypse happens and I'm sort of like, my family and I are walking across a desert landscape and, you know, when I become meat again and- Let me just interject that we've established that you have already mastered as the anticipator, the art of waking up with an alarm clock,

yet you're very concerned that you're not able to go to sleep without the constant noise of an app playing. So it's like, I don't know. Well, here's the thing. As a despotic- I'm not in a molehill here. As a despotic apocalyptic ruler who keeps people on leashes, which is the role I want to assume in the apocalypse,

some sort of overlord, I can't be the guy. I can't have like a necklace made out of human baby bones around my neck and then need a white noise machine to go to sleep. That's bad for the image. No, I'll tell you what's gonna save this for you. Meet again's gonna be like, "'Hey, Jonathan, get in here.

You're gonna stay up all night." Making noise. And you're gonna in my ear. There's no way that won't work. You just got a guy gargling all night. That would be very annoying. In your tent. It is the perfect pitch.

Binaural, you could have Jonathan and Taylor, one on each ear. Jonathan and Taylor. And then Thomas is down there massaging your feet. Okay, well, I'll get people to do my white noise for me. Yeah, but I feel self-conscious about the fact that I need it, but I'm such a light sleeper, man.

I wake up so easily. Most despots get fed grapes. Grapes won't be a thing in the apocalypse. I don't think they can actually, I don't think that agriculture can be sustained. Should the tea be silent and despot? Enjoy the grapes. Despot, despot.

I don't know. I don't think so. Is it French? You mean like depo? Yeah, silent and depo, but not despot. Should it be though? Just in our little corner of the internet, can we make the tea silent and despot?

Sure, I mean, do what you want to. Despo, despo. Despo. Do you wanna talk about another one or do you just wanna give your rec? Oh, you ready for my rec already? I mean, you know what, let's- This has been a good episode.

Let's go out on a high note. Okay, sure. Let's not push it. Okay. You know what, I feel like the energy's been really good this episode. You don't wanna ruin it? I don't wanna ruin it.

You feel like it's hanging in the balance? We covered a lot of ground. Yep, we've dangled out the zipper and now it's all about just- We spent a lot of time talking about that. It's all about- I'm sorry. Pulling it back in in a way to not do damage to anybody's pants.

Oh, just because I said it, I just wanna give credit to the person who said it, Fisher. We have so many more. This is such a good prompt. Well, we'll do it again. I just want to- Oh, you wanna do it again? I just wanna- You wanna do a sequel to this episode? No, no, not a sequel.

Let's just keep going. I just wanna give credit, because I said I would, to Bonsai Breath Fisher, who says, a belt. I grew up wearing belts because I had to, never thought anything of it, continued to wear belts every day. Only when my favorite belt broke and I was beltless,

did I realize how much I need it. If I could name two things that I need, it's the white noise machine and a belt. Because I mean, of course, if I'm wearing like those gray sweats and it's somebody's house and I'm coming out with a peace spot, I don't need belts for sweatpants, but for jeans, I gotta have a belt.

Pants just work their way down. Things get exposed if I don't have a belt. Yeah, I must not be shaped the same as you. It's a body shape thing. Yeah, I don't need a belt. You don't need a belt. I don't. Does that make me better than you? Maybe.

Well, that's up to you. Okay, then it does, yeah. Okay. But I don't feel, it feels like there's a part of me missing if there's not a slight cinch. There's a slight cinch in the midsection area. Gotta have that cinch.

So you like pinching the veins? It doesn't pinch, it's just a cinch. There's a difference between a pinch and a cinch. So you like pinching the veins? It doesn't pinch, it's just a cinch. There's a difference between a pinch and a cinch and you really need to know that. If you're thinking about a belt as a pinch, then of course you're not gonna wear one. Let's give a shout out to the people that submitted some good stuff that we're not,

we're gonna acknowledge their contribution, but we're not gonna discuss it. This is risky. Never done that before. So you're basically saying we're just throwing these to the wayside. Oh, but we're not gonna discuss it. This is risky. Never done that before. So you're basically saying we're just throwing these to the wayside. Oh no, we're not. You think we're gonna do this again? We never do things again.

Well, that's not true, but okay, go ahead. We can always get more. Chloe said a plug-in mug warmer. I drink my coffee very slowly and this thing keeps it warm forever. Doesn't provide any links to anything, but it looks like a, just a white. Almost looks like a wireless charger

that you put a phone on. Base. That her, in this case, Good Mythical Morning mug, I love that. It says, oh, $15 on Amazon. Didn't put the link though. Fisher said a belt. Klaus said a squatty potty. Nippy Nut said a quality set of kitchen knives.

Having a good set of knives up my cooking game dramatically and I still have no idea how I ever imagined, ever managed without them. Very important. Yeah. I mean, we can still talk about this again, but I'll give a rec. You ready for a rec, baby rec, baby one, two, three, four.

I don't know what it is about Amazon's television shows, but I think once I, and I'm not loyal to them as a streaming platform, but I start watching things on HBO and it does lead to seeing the other things that I wanna check out. So I started watching, what's it called? Painting with John, which debuted, like I said,

on HBO back in January. And you said Amazon series. Did I say Amazon? Yeah. Why didn't I say Amazon? Yeah. Why didn't I say, HBO? You said Amazon, because I think we were just talking about Amazon links to HBO, yeah. Painting with John is just totally laid back,

comedic, introspective, almost calming. Well, it is kind of a calming show that you can just kind of, just kind of chill out to. What I didn't realize is that John Lurie, the writer, producer, star of this show, he was not only a musician and a painter, this is about him painting and an actor,

but he's the founding member along with his brother of the band, The Lounge Lizards, which is like this like jazz type band. I've never listened to Lounge Lizards. Yeah, I just heard of them. But I've heard of them and he tells the story of meeting Barry White. He tells a lot of stories from his life

and it's like while he's painting, but in an anti Bob Ross way. Like he even says in the opening episode, he's like, Bob Ross was wrong. Everybody can't paint. You know, he has that. Yeah, right, right, right. He has this like, I don't know.

He's got some snark. I don't know if acerbic is the right descriptor for his comedic sensibility, but it's like an Anthony Bourdain-ish kind of a tone. Yeah. But he's also kind of goofy at times and you can tell that this show is just kind of his brainchild

and it's just kind of a nice way to just relax, hear a guy telling some stories. It'll get you thinking. And I don't think it's for the children. Unless you got adult children. I think it's rated R. But I can't quite remember, I just liked it. I don't think shows are rated R.

Adam McKay is an executive producer. Dang, Adam McKay, man. He does some- He's got a lot McKay, man. He does some- He's got a lot of stuff going on. He does some good stuff. He also had a show called Fishing with John. I've heard about Fishing with John. Back in 1991.

I didn't realize it was the same guy, but I've seen people online talk about Fishing with John. Huh, so Painting with John. Check it out on HBO if you think you're into that. Well, thanks for engaging with us. Thanks for enduring the half hour conversation about finding the special button in your tank to be able to leak your lounge lizard.

You heard it here from the anticipator and the clueless pill taker. Okay, there we go, that's a super duo. Hashtag Ear Biscuits, we'll talk at you next week.
