Welcome to Ear Biscuits, the podcast where two lifelong friends talk about life for a long time. I'm Link.

And I'm Rhett. This week at the Roundtable of Dim Lighting, we, as a duo, will be discussing other duos. Because, hey man, we're experts on being a duo. We've got experience with being connected by an ampersand. And that might be a real duo. It might be a fictitious duo. We've got experience with being connected by an ampersand. And that might be a real duo. It might be a fictitious duo.

It might be a duo and, I mean, you spent some time categorizing them. And you, you know, I see the twinkle in your eye

when you're categorizing things. It feels good. I feel like, things in groups. I feel like every day when you get here, I should have like, like a, not a big bag, but like a small bag,

a lunch bag size of different color Legos, and just like drop them in front of you, and you'd be like, boopity, boopity, boopity, boopity. I'm not like a dog that you've gotta like buy toys to keep them occupied so they get tired. Have you seen one of those, do you ever give your dogs one of those like puzzle toys where you put food in and they have to like figure out

how to do it? My dogs don't have, I mean, Jasper has a lot of energy. I think they might surprise you. I mean, we did it for a little bit with Barbara. I should try it with Jasper, but I've never, Jade is not a candidate for that. But Barbara seemed like she got mad at us. She was frustrated.

She would do it, but then she would look at us like, but why? Yeah, I know how she feels, but that's the question you just made. She's like, you realize- But that's the question you just made. You could have just given me that. And I was like, yeah, I could, and I will. Here you go, princess.

I have taken Jamie's list of duos, which we will respond to. And all I've really done is kind of put them into categories so we can kind of stay in a zone at a time. Music. Now we're gonna rank them. I'm gonna say, let me say the categories. Oh, yeah, yeah. Music, fictional, historical, comedy,

and other slash catch all. We're not really doing lovers. We get to it. Lovers are not really duos. No. I mean, they are, but they're not the kind of duo that we're talking about. No, they're couples. Right, they're couples. A couple is not a duo.

Yeah. I mean, unless. Sometimes they are. Sonny and're couples. A couple is not a duo. Yeah. I mean, unless... Sometimes they are. Sonny and Cher. There are a few exceptions, yeah. So I wanted to... Let's get into the music of it all. The first one is the Everly Brothers.

Now, you're a fan of the Everly Brothers. Phil and Don, American rock duo. Their first hit in 1957 Bye Bye Love Now before we Hold on Originally rejected by 30 other acts Now before we lose you

Before we lose you Don't start Don't start fast forwarding Oh gosh Who are the Everly Brothers? If you don't know So You should know

The Everly Brothers Have been really meaningful to us So they were very meaningful to me as a child because in the not so large stack of records that my parents gave me when I was a kid that I kept in my room, the Everly Brothers was one of the albums. And boy, I just, I loved their music, right?

And I didn't really understand what harmony was. I just knew that I liked the vibe. They basically sang close harmony the entire time. Yeah, every lyric, every piece of the song. And when we started really getting into a groove of how we like to write, it was very much that. Right. To the point where sometimes when we would get input from others,

they'd be like, why don't you think about singing? Like, you take a verse, you take a verse. It took a long time once we were writing songs, comedy songs for YouTube to kind of branch out and kind of split apart. Right. Which is a nice little asset. Well, they set the standard for this. Oh, yeah.

They really set it. What's your favorite Everly Brothers song? I mean, I don't know. It's definitely- Dream? It's not Bye Bye Love. Dream. I think Dream is it. That's the best one.

What about Kathy's Clown? Such, it's a bit of a weird song, but I do like it. You should listen to the Everly Brothers if you want to know what close harmony sounds like. And also realize that they kind of were making it, they were inventing it in some sense. So influential. Speaking of which, another iconic musical duo

pretended to be them before they became popular. Lennon and McCartney. Yeah, the Beatles. And Lennon and McCartney is a bit of an interesting categorization as a duo because obviously they were, they're known in the context of the Beatles, but they were sort of the core creative force in that. Yeah, because you, I mean, because you know it's like,

you'll say Lennon and McCartney. You'll just say it. You put it together. I say it all the time. You know which order it goes in. Nobody says McCartney and Lennon. And so it's linked with an and. And to me, that's a good test of the iconicness of a duo

is if you know how to say it and you know what order it's in. Good point. You know? Good point. And it just rolls off the tongue. So even though they were part of a duo is if you know how to say it and you know what order it's in. Good point. You know? Good point. And it just rolls off the tongue. So even though they were part of a larger band, like childhood friends, they agreed when they were writing their songs, like crediting their songs, that no matter who wrote the song and who contributed, sometimes only one of them contributed, they still credit it as Lennon-McCartney.

For the longest time, that was their agreement. Really? Yeah, just like a blanket agreement. That's what they did. So they were like, they really duo'd themselves. And you know what? I mean, that's what we did. We had a conversation very early when we were trying to make this work. It was like, you know what? We're building this as a duo. We're not trying to do other things. It's like you have the luxury now of, we have the luxury of being able to branch out and do things if we want to because we've established the duo-ness to the point where there's not, you know, it's firmly established. That ampersand is going to be there. And it's like, oh, it's Rhett from Rhett and Link. It's Link from Rhett and Link, you know? It's, you know, the Beatles broke up. They had amazing careers. Paul still does, but he still talks about John all the time. He still talks about the Beatles all the time.

You know, he's still Paul McCartney from the Beatles. Are you, and we're not gonna, maybe we will, for some of these duos, we did it recently on Good Mythical More, where we're like, who's the who, and which one of us is who in a duo? We might do that if it naturally occurs, but are you, not which one are you,

but who do you like more? Like, you know, everybody's got a favorite, right? Paul. Okay, yeah. Oh yeah. Just musically. Well, yeah. I like the Paul songs a lot more than the John songs.

You know, and there's the whole Yoko Ono thing that, you know, a lot of people really feel like that, from a musical perspective, really took John in some interesting directions. He also died at some point, you know, so he didn't have quite the longevity. But have you seen A Hard Day's Night? I haven't. So I watched, I didn't finish it, I'll be honest with you. I was in a mood to be like, I wanna watch something weird. This is like during Beatles mania, they made this movie.

1964, it's kind of crazy that in the middle of Beatlemania, they decided to do this documentary, not documentary, movie. And- They're playing themselves, right? Playing themselves. And it's based on the things that are true about the Beatles and the fact that they're all playing themselves and they are a band and they're on tour or whatever, but it's about- They had lines, there was a story, it wasn't presented as a document. Yeah, and I think that it will make you think differently

about all of them, but especially John, because I always thought- Well, his, what, his sense of humor? He was the serious one. He's got, no, I know about his sense of humor? He was the serious one. He's got, no, I know about his sense of humor because I've watched the like, the 80 hour documentary that Peter- Get Back, yeah, I didn't watch that.

Like even with all the tension that you could cut with a knife, he was like constantly like doing voices and being totally kooky. Well, here's the thing, and I think this is where- What a weirdo, I mean, like in the best way. I think that some people, I love it since- If they were trying to like,

if they were doing the thing that I don't wanna do, and like track me and you onto a duo, they might be like, oh, Link's McCartney because he seems like more happy-go-lucky, whatever. If you watch A Hard Day's Night, the choices that Lennon makes that are just complete head-scratchers makes you Lennon.

Oh, really? Oh, yeah. Wacky. Okay, I got to see it. It's just... Well, I kind of want to be Ringo. I mean, he seems the happiest. He does some things.

I just want to be Ringo happy. Again, I only got through like a third of this movie, but I'm just saying there are some choices that he made. Poor George. Nobody wants to be George. There are choices that he made that are just like, this is just weird. This choice was just for him.

Man, I'd love to meet all of them. So I ended up kind of like, you know, I was like, oh, you know, he gets a reputation, and I'm not, I like the Beatles, and it's the kind of like, you know, I was like, oh, you know, he gets a reputation and I'm not, I like the Beatles. And it's the kind of thing where when I listen to them, I'm like, oh man, I just forget how good this music is, how innovative it was and how I just love the arrangements. I love the melodies. I love the choices. And then, but I never find myself being like, well, I'm going to listen to the Beatles right now.

I don't know what it is. You got to go on a, you got to go Beatles right now. I don't know what it is. You gotta go on a kick. I don't know what it is. When you listen to it, it's great, but then you don't find your, I don't find myself being drawn back to it. So I didn't have a proper opinion about Lennon, but I'm just saying he's kooky, man.

He was kooky. He's now dead. He was shot. He was also very principled. I'll throw into this Everly Brothers mix just as influential and another iconic music duo that you have to mention, Simon and Garfunkel.

Yeah. Were heavily influenced. I mean, they were basically Everly Brothers impersonators at the beginning. Like, if you listen to their first album,

the 3AM, whatever it is, I mean, they're just impersonating the Everly Brothers. That's how 3AM, whatever it is. I mean, they're just impersonating the Everly Brothers. That's how they started, period. So that's why I'm actually putting the Everly Brothers, even though there's no ampersand,

above Lennon and McCartney and above Simon and Garfunkel. And they're just so tied to each other. You know, Paul Simon obviously ended up doing his own thing for a longer period of time. And again, I don't know much. I'm sure you know more about the music history of this thing. But my impression is that Paul Simon, I don't know if Garfunkel was as well,

but these are difficult people. I mean, they had a difficult relationship. Difficult people to remain in duos for for a long period of time yeah um i i feel for him and and paul simon was just such a musical genius in terms of the songwriter and i mean it's easy to kind of give garfunkel short shrift. So I find myself compensating for that and really liking the Garfunkel songs because he was just more of like the harmony guy. Like, well, Bridge Over Troubled Water is like the most famous, but that's a Paul Simon song that like,

he just, he gave Garfunkel the same. Whoever wrote it is, you're saying, you're saying that there are Simon written songs and Garfunkel the same. You're saying whoever wrote it is, you're saying there are Simon written songs and Garfunkel written songs. No, I'm talking about like more of like the lead, like where Garfunkel's not just kind of singing the harmony, which I mean, makes me throw out Hall & Oates. You got that ampersand, even though technically they say

that they never call themselves Hall & Oates, it was always Daryl Hall & John Oates. Like that is the official name of their band. And if you look at most all of their albums, it actually says their full names. Like they do not refer to themselves and never did as Hall & Oates. Now you urinated next to Daryl Hall at one point.

Tell me about that. In the airport? Yeah, and then I followed him trying to work up the gumption to say something, and I never did. Hey, man, I just peed next to you. Biggest, just biggest regret of my life. Well, I'm glad you didn't say anything

while you were peeing, because listen, I'm no Darryl Hall, but I have been recognized from time to time, and I have had people peeing next to me. You don't want anybody talking to you while you're spilling your oats. And I'm a nice guy, so I didn't say, hey bro, let's wait until this is over.

But- I knew I wasn't gonna talk to him at the urinal. I didn't, yeah, I just stalked him a little bit. Hall and Oates, interesting case. And also we'll talk about Brooks and Dunn in a second, but- Not an ampersand, but an mm. Yeah, right, which we it's interesting case. And also we'll talk about Brooks and Dunn in a second, but- Mm, not an ampersand, but an mm. Yeah, right, which we should have done that. Rhett and Link would have ampersand.

We missed an opportunity there. Mm. Mm. But in both of these cases, I don't know- Garfunkel and Oates, you mean? No, no, Brooks and Dunn and Hall and Oates. Which is another iconic musical comedy duo. I don't know exactly what the responsibility breakdown was

in terms of the creative process for these guys, but the final package, the performance package, right? Yeah, Oates kind of disappears. And Brooks disappears. Yeah, kicks Brooks. Well, he does a lot to make up for disappearing in the mix of things by- Hip wagging.

Moving around a lot. Partying it up. He's very fun to watch, but like when you think- Wearing the cowboy hat. But when you think about Brooks and Dunn, you're hearing Ronnie Dunn, except for a few songs. You know, they were an arranged duo. Yeah.

They both had solo careers for years they were both writing for other people kicks brooks writes a lot of music as well as ronnie dunn but they were they were put together because it just wasn't clicking for either one of them as solo artists and you know it's like ronnie's got this amazing voice he had amazing songs and you got kicks brooks who's got this amazing voice. He had amazing songs. And then you got Kix Brooks, who's got the look. He had the cowboy look. He had the big mustache. He has a little legitimacy to it. And the big hat.

And Ronnie had the bouffant hair. Right. And he was a little bit prettier. Some Vince Gill sort of energy. Yeah, energy. Yeah. With a more beltier voice. I mean, they are both great.

I just have this sense of like, oh, you're great, I'm great, we're both great kind of thing that I want to say. But it just felt like it's a marketing ploy that worked. And then the songs they brought to the table, it just continued working. So I do like it, but because it's not an even, it's not perceived as an even partnership, I got to put it a little bit lower on the list.

I'll throw out the White Stripes, brother-sister duo. But then you got Jack White, who's known for so many things. And it's like, when you say Jack White, you don't have to say Meg at the same time you don't have to a duo is only going to get to the top of the list if

you only think about them you think about them primarily in the context of the duo which is not the case with Jack White now Brooks and Dunn you can't separate the words. Yeah. But, you know, they're not, they're not, they don't, the perception is different. Sonny and Cher, same thing. I mean, Cher, obviously, you can separate the words.

So that doesn't work. But I'm going to throw out one more that I think is the only one that can rival the Everly Brothers. Okay. And again, because I want, I don't want it to be the Everly brothers because there's no ampersand, and they're brothers. So it's kind of like there's the blood thing, and I kind of like it when they put people together who are thicker than thieves and closer than brothers and connected with an ampersand. Of course, my next suggestion doesn't have that either.

Outcast. Out and cast. Out and cast. Outcast, man. Big boy, Andre 3000. I mean, Andre is always listed as one of the greatest MCs of all time. But you really can't give big boy short shrift. And they complement each other so well.

They do. And they each hold their weight, and together they made something amazing. They did. Again and again and again. They did. I completely agree with you. I think the thing that makes it difficult

to put them above the Everly brothers is, again, the, you know, Andre 3000 is like, he's like a fashion icon. And like his voice was like super distinct. And so I think when you have to know sort of the BTS, when you have to kind of understand what makes big boy great from like an educational standpoint, which I completely agree with.

But then just like the popular perception is like, oh yeah, that guy from OutKast that sometimes acts. It makes it, I mean, it's an unfortunate way that people just try to distill a duo down to these parts. You know? Yeah. All right. But you, cause you can't do that with the Everly Brothers. I wouldn't have been able to tell you that. They didn't even sing separate.

Who's Phil and who's Don? When the duo is so intertwined, inextricable, that makes them the best duo in this musical duo battle. Yeah. Yeah. All right. I'll give it to you. Just want to remind you,

Yeah. They're not real. A lot of times they say Sam and Frodo. It's always Frodo and Sam, I guess. I mean, Frodo, they're great, right? They're, you know, the entire trilogy, like their story is just so moving. Oh, it's great. And they're inseparable, even though like Frodo was tasked with the thing,

like Frodo had his connection to Gandalf and like every, you know, he had to bear the weight, but not really. Because Sam was like- He couldn't have done it without Sam. He couldn't have done it without Sam 100%. And that was the story. That was what was being explored. But points against them as a duo

is the fact that it was Frodo that was tasked with something as an individual. It wasn't like they were both trying to get a White Castle. Exactly. And we're about to get to a fictitious duo that I think for reasons that I've got, it's gonna be very difficult for them to not be the best fictitious duo.

I disagree with your point though. Okay. Because- But if one person is tasked with it and the other person is essential to accomplishing it, that's great, but it's not the same as both of them being tasked with it. I would argue-

Or both of them making the decision to do it. I would argue that Gandalf did give Sam the task. Okay. Of accompanying Frodo. Okay. Okay. But only one person could possess the ring. What I'm getting at is if it was like

a double ring situation. Okay, like brass knuckles? Yeah, if it was like two little brass knuckles and they had to stay side by side the whole time, then it would be like, this is a great duo. Yeah, that would be awesome. And they both disappear at the same time. That was my biggest criticism of Lord of the Rings

was that it wasn't brass knuckles. This is actually an interesting thing to bring up as we have developed things, scripted things, you know, we've done a bunch of scripted things and we obviously write every single thing from that's got us in it from the perspective of a duo. And when you read any sort of screenwriting book, they basically talk about

how you have to pick your protagonist. And traditionally, that's one person. And so the real problem is being- What noise did I just make? You made the screenwriting noise. I tried to say, uh-huh, but it came out- Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Uh-huh, but it came out of... Ugh. Ugh.

Ugh. Sorry. I wasn't going to say anything, but you did. Oh, no. So it becomes difficult. Well, the main mistake that amateur screenwriters make... Like us. And we were much...

We're still amateurs, but we were much more amateurs 15 years ago, was that you basically just distill the duo down to one character we were much, we're still amateurs, but we were much more amateurs, you know, 15 years ago, was that you basically just distill the duo down to one character who is the protagonist and you realize that, oh, this could just be one person doing this stuff. And then we learned, actually we learned on Buddy System season two.

That I was the protagonist? No, I don't know what you're about to say. No, no, we learned that every buddy comedy is a romantic comedy. Oh, yes. Yeah, yeah, it's of that form. Yeah, and so. The things that you want to see in a romantic relationship, there is a parallelism.

And that's one of the reasons that we set up in season two was like, this is not two guys that have to do something together. Yeah, hip to hip kind of a thing. It was like, we didn't even know each other at the beginning, and now we have to do this. So there would be this interaction between the two characters because the oscillation of connection and conflict between two characters is what makes an interesting story.

We don't have it down yet, and we don't do a lot of scripted stuff, but we had to learn that lesson. So we structured the motive of each character to be different. Like my parallel universe character wanted to become a robot, just to have such a simple life

that was just programmatic and totally secure, like driven by security and organization. Like we were saying the categorization. They had to want different things. But also kind of want the same thing. Your character wanted what? Comfort. Well, and I specifically was trying to achieve,

I was trying to transcend. Transcend. The seven seals of satisfaction. Yeah. Trying to find the seventh seal. But what the audience wanted was for them to be friends. Connection. For them to be buddies forever. Yeah.

And so that's what we were toying with. That's what we were hoping to make it compelling. You should go back and watch it. It's free on YouTube. Buddy System Season 2. You can watch it in one sitting. But. Sam and Frodo.

Oh, they're such a sweet relationship. And obviously, in terms of the story that they're contextualized in, one of my favorite stories of all time. But I actually think that Wayne and Garth are a better duo. Okay, okay. And again, I'm not like a huge Wayne and Garth fan in terms of we did accidentally watch the first movie. Yeah, because how did that happen?

We were watching- We were hanging out watching- The 1950 something comeback, or 1960 something comeback special from Elvis. Right. And then it just automatically started playing. It was like 1 a.m. and we were like, are we gonna do this?

And everybody looked around and we just, then we watched the whole movie. But we concluded that it held up. Oh yeah. And this is why I think that Wayne and Garth are so far the best fictitious duo. We'll see if they get usurped. They are so essential to one another.

They're very different. They're the same in a certain way, but they're very different in a certain way. And there are, they fall into these roles that are so complimentary. And like they both, I mean, we're always trying to make sure that there's a,

there's an even balance between us and where the stuff that we're in, in terms of like where the comedy is coming from. Yeah. And like, who's getting this joke in or whatever. But that's how these guys come across. And you might know, people have favorites, they'll be like, I just think that everything

that Garth does is so funny if you're a Garth guy. And people will be like, but Wayne is kind of, it's his show, right? And Garth is like the sidekick on the show, on their basement show. In their setup, there's like, this is Wayne's show and Garth is the sidekick, but in the presentation of the comedy,

they are Wayne and Garth, and they're bringing equal parts, funny and interest. And it'll be about like, well, you know, Wayne is the one that is, I don't even remember, I don't remember who was trying to get Tia, what's her name? It was Gar, it was Wayne. I think it was Wayne, yeah.

But like, they both got challenges that they're trying to, like you're pulling for both of them. There's a bigger goal, but I don't know. I'm just saying that I think the complimentary nature, and you don't think, they didn't do anything on their own. They existed as a duo in their fictitious world. And when you see them separately, you're missing the other half.

And that's kind of like, that's the point. Nobody dresses up as just Garth for Halloween. Right. You could. Well, we both dressed up as Wayne for Halloween on VMM one year. That was the joke. We've done a lot of like Robin and Robin. Right, Wayne and Wayne.

But yeah, but you could go as Frodo. That was so funny. And no, I don't think anybody would be like, where's Sam? Oh, they would, but. They also would be like, which hobbit are you? Because, you know. Right. They all gotta look the same. And they coined a bunch of catchphrases, party on. That's what she said?

They made that popular, huh? Hell yeah they did. Schwing. I mean, so yeah, we've got a heavy identification with Wayne and Garth, so. All right, I'm gonna go with that. Thelma and Louise, I'm gonna throw that out there, give the ladies some love.

You definitely got that ampersand in there. Thelma and Louise. You don't think, when you hear Thelma and Louise. You don't think... When you hear Thelma and Louise. I mean, I... Spoiler alert. I, for one, have seen this movie. I don't like to see movies

where cars go off cliffs. Hey, spoiler! I said... I already said that. There is an event where you can go... I know this is a tangent i'm sorry but like i think this is the tiktok thing you can you can show up somewhere and then the like automobiles are driven off a cliff and then they like come down the side of the mountain in front of all the spectators. That's a cool little day.

I don't know. That would be pretty cool to watch. Watch cars go off a cliff event. The Glacier View car launch has become a 4th of July tradition in the picturesque wilderness east of Palmer, Alaska. Launching cars off a 300-foot cliff. Yeah. How many cars can they do this with?

I don't know, but I don't think that people are in it. 13 cars. Yeah, and look at, here's one of them with a van pulling like an RV. 300 feet. Started in the 2000s when someone hit a moose and needed to dispose of the wrecked vehicle. That someone had imagination. It was all downhill from there.

I mean, what's at the bottom of this cliff? Just a bunch of cars? Did they remove them? Well, you know, they love nature in Alaska. So it goes without saying that when the party is over, what's left of the vehicles is taken to be recycled. Oh. Are you reading now or are you just saying things?

That's just how I talk. Okay. No Alaskans are harmed in the making of the videos associated with it. Except the guy that moves in after car number 12 to start the cleanup process. That guy could get injured. I think maybe we should go to this. Come down.

At the bottom of the cliff with my camera. I love the fact that there's a Facebook ad in this article for the retirement home of the town where this happens. Oh, it makes it look nice. If you are attending the Glacier View 4th of July car launch, look for our van that the residents had so much fun decorating. Well, I mean, if you gotta retire somewhere,

assuming they let you out, if you wanna go look at the car, I mean, when I retire, I want to retire next to some exciting stuff. You know what I mean? That's exciting stuff. I do know what you mean. That's why I told you about it.

It's exciting. So that's Thelma and Louise. Pretty iconic. The fact that they- They die together. They die together makes them... Up there. Yeah. I mean, do you want to die together?

No. I want to live longer than you. You're going to die first, so that's going to cut my life short. If we die of natural causes, I am more likely to die. I'm a little bit older and I am taller. But

what are the chances that we would, and I know we've had this conversation before, but- Let's have it again, man. Maybe it'll be different this time. I do think that given what we do- We're together a lot, yes. It is-

And I'm not just talking about the stuff we do on the show. I'm saying now that we're doing this college trip every summer. It would be iconic for us to die together. I think that would solidify our- We're more likely to die together. If we die of an accident, more likely to die together. So do you want to? If we're going to die at the same time,

I want it to be at the same place. I'll put it to you that way. Okay. I'll just leave it at that. Throw out another one. Who are you thinking? Woody and Buzz Lightyear. Just for consideration.

So the first movie was all about them becoming friends. But then there's like, I guess, and then it was like Jesse's involved and- It's not clean. It's not clean. Because they each have their own stories. I mean, Buzz Lightyear's got his own movie. His own origin.

Series. Yeah. This is kind of the same thing for Shrek and Donkey. You know, the movie's called Shrek, not Shrek and Donkey. Yeah. This is kind of the same thing for Shrek and Donkey. You know, the movie's called Shrek, not Shrek and Donkey. Yeah. If it were called that, so I think they're friends, but I wouldn't even call Shrek and Donkey a duo.

I wouldn't call Woody and Buzz a duo. They're just friends. Yeah, but here's the thing about- But when they're around- Woody and Buzz and- There's an ensemble cast. Shrek and Donkey, though. Shrek and Donkey, you know, Shrek is Shrek.

Donkey's a sidekick. Woody and Buzz Lightyear, there's not any sidekick energy from either one of them. Yeah, that's true. There's like very much like main character energy from both of them, which I think it makes a great duo. Right, that's kind of what I was saying about Wayne and Garth.

And, but they're almost so main character energy that they supersede a duo. It's just two guys in this ensemble. If I see one, I'm not necessarily missing the other. I don't, they don't complete each other. You don't- The way that Wayne and Garth did. They don't, okay, as toys,

you would not buy Woody and Buzz as a set. Nope, there you go. But if you bought Wayne and Garth toys, most likely they would be together in a set. If you go down the aisle at Walmart, if they were to sell such a thing. Right. Shrek and Donkey, you're gonna see Shrek on a t-shirt.

I mean, if you got a donkey only t-shirt, it's pretty much... I'm sure there is. That's the joke, is that you have a donkey only t-shirt. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I love them together. Mario and Luigi. Brothers and

an ampersand. I mean, we could talk for days about Luigi's Luigi-ness. You know what I'm saying? He started off just being the green second version of Mario. Right, player number two. Yeah. Now, in the first Super Mario. Then he started, in the second one, he started jumping and wiggling his feet.

And it was like, oh, he's got his own thing. He's taller. You know, and sometimes with a duo, and this is our case, it takes, you know, one guy's a little bit of a late bloomer. I was a little bit of a late bloomer in this duo. Okay. Right? You started twiddling your feet.

Yeah, I started twiddling my feet a little bit. I had to play a little bit of a late bloomer in this duo. Okay. Right? So it's- You started twilling your feet. So yeah, I started twilling my feet a little bit. I had to play a little catch up. Well, in Super Mario 2, in Super Mario 1, there's absolutely no difference other than just the color of the overalls. But Super Mario 2, was it easier to win as one of the other? Luigi, it sucked to play as Luigi.

It was hard to win as him. He was slow, right? He would just kind of float on those feet. I mean, at least Princess would jump in the air and then beeline straight. And Toad was, he's strong as hell, man. Toad was a little beast. You won with Toad? Oh, Toad was my pick because he would rip those turnips out of the ground like a big boy.

I mean, the quickness that Toad would yank a turnip is the only reason I ever tried to get fit. Like thinking about Toad. You need better motivation. What are you looking at? You need better motivation. You're looking at my body? You have a Toad. You need better motivation. What are you looking at? You need better motivation. You're looking at my body? Yeah, I have a Toad-like body. I have a Luigi-like body.

I am long and lanky, but I wanna have a Toad-like, I wanna be able to rip it like Toad, man. Oh, you got something buried in the ground? Call Toad. You really like Super Mario 2. It was a big leap from Super Mario Brothers. I mean, it was amazing. Did you ever beat the first one?

No. But you beat the second one? No. You love these games so much. I mean. Super Mario 3? I didn't have two. I got three and I beat three.

I didn't beat that either. Dude, I I beat three. I didn't beat that either. Dude, I never beat anything. But one was like easy to beat with Warp Zones. I could beat one in like 19 minutes. Yeah, but then you get to the end and there's like a maze. Yeah, I think I could probably still remember how to do it. I think you start high, then go middle, then go low.

Okay. And then you're through and then you just- Now you're rubbing it in. Run under Bowser. And I had all the Nintendo powers. I really enjoyed reading those. I like knowing that I could know. Okay, but Mario and Luigi definitely not a great duo

because Luigi just gets so much short shrift in the fluttering feet thing. I mean, what about Rick and Morty? They got a strong ampersand. They're always together. They're hilarious. And they're a very unique duo. It's not a healthy relationship.

Not at all. I mean, but it's a grandpa, grandson. That's very fresh. It's not a healthy relationship. No, it's not. So I don't think you can- It's hilariously unhealthy. So if you go back to Sam and Frodo

or Wayne and Garth, it's sweet. They need each other, right? Rick and Morty is an example of a toxic relationship. Is there ever a sweet moment? I think for comedy probably. If it begins to be sweet, then it is immediately made unsweet for comedy. It's sweet for comedy,

then it's made unsweet for comedy. I had to mention, that's the only ones in this category. What are we, so are we sticking with, yes, Wayne and Garth, yes. I mean, I think Wayne and Garth is the best fictitious duo, and I'm willing to be talked out of that. But so far,ictitious duo, and I'm willing to be talked out of that.

But so far, best musical duo, Everly Brothers, best fictitious, Wayne and Garth. Go back to school with Rogers and get Canada's fastest and most reliable internet.

But I don't want to take too long because I want to get to comedy duos. Yes. We don't have a lot in the store. We don't know much about history. I mean, Bonnie and Clyde, the only thing I know about Bonnie and Clyde is that Merle Haggard wrote a song called The Legend of Bonnie and Clyde.

Well, I'll also say originally you put Bonnie and Clyde in the fictitious category. So you know very little about them. No, no, that. Oh, no, you put Butch Cassidy in category. So you know very little about them. No, that... Oh, no, you put Butch Cassidy in his kid. That's right. Yeah, I'm not an idiot. That's next.

I mean, yeah. I don't know much about Bonnie and Clyde. Well, Bonnie was a waitress in a small cafe. Clyde Barrow was the rambler who took her away. Yeah. They both robbed and killed until both of them died. So goes the legend of Bonnie and Clyde. I think the fact that if the thing that the duo

is known for is bad things, that's cool. I just feel like we can't put you too high in the list. You know what I mean? So if you have a toxic relationship. It killed 13 people. You're gonna go down in the list. But if you're doing toxic things like killing 13 people, you're gonna go down in the list, but if you're doing toxic things like killing 13 people, you're gonna go down in the list.

Yeah, and they had a romantic thing going on. So they were also a couple. That muddies the waters. It makes it complicated. Yeah, yeah. But they died together. Don't shit where you eat. Okay.

I don't know if it's applicable to that, but you sounded right. Don't screw your friends. Because then something more happens? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. And now we go back to the fictitional world

of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Yeah, so they were real. I mean, we have this picture of Robert Redford and, well, crap, what's his name? Paul Newman. Paul Newman. Oh yeah, how could I forget the guy from the dressing label? Newman's own.

Great movie, right? You have seen it. I have seen it. Excellent movie. Excellent movie. I mean, it's no Tombstone, but it's a great Western. It's an era thing, you know? It's also not as good as like The Good, The Bad, The Ugly, which is just about a vibe and a style. That's a little long and a little boring.

But Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is better than that. Excellent acting from both of them. Very funny, just endearing. Endearing, yeah. And- I just love hanging out with these guys. And again, but our interpretation of them

is through a cinematic representation of them. Yeah, so we're kind of- So what do we know? What do we really know? Well, I don't know anything. We do know that when we were in Colorado recently, on the upper Animas River, and we were on the train going up,

the guide who was riding in the train next to me said, "'That bridge right there is the bridge "'that Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid "'jumped off in the movie.'" And I was like, okay. What do you mean in the, okay, so it was jumped off in the movie. And I was like, okay. What do you mean? Okay, so it was a scene in the movie? Yeah.

This wasn't the real life people jumping off of this bridge? I think that's what he was trying to say. I also kind of thought, really? You know what I mean? Sometimes you just- And spoiler alert, they die together too, right? Yes, but they really died together. It says a shootout in Bolivia.

Dude, don't you know the movie, They Go to Bolivia, man? I don't remember. You don't see it happen. It's so, it's like they come out guns a blazing and then it's just like you hear what's happening, but you don't see it. So they die together.

That's the blood. They have cool names. Butch Cassidy, if you hear that, what are you gonna say? And the Sundance Kid, you're gonna put it together. They have cool names. Butch Cassidy. If you hear that, what are you going to say? And the Sundance Kid. You're going to put it together. There's a lot to like about that. Iconic actors playing them. Who else are we throwing out there? The Wright Brothers.

Okay. Warville and Wilbur Wright. They worked together to invent a flying machine. They brought different things to the table. Did they? Yeah, Wilbur was athletic in his youth, very well read, a gifted speaker, and outgoing. Orville was impulsive, optimistic, and contemplative, very interested in science and technology. Okay.

But they did something great together. They were brothers. I consider that a demerit. Because it's, you know, they didn't make a choice. I agree with that. Yeah. But they invented something that transformed the world. Yeah, that's pretty cool.

That's pretty cool. Are they better than... They're better than the other two we mentioned. Yeah, they're the best historical duo so far. And they did it in North Carolina. What about Lewis and Clark? Lewis and Clark? They were put together by the president at the time.

Can't remember which one. And I remember when I was a kid, I was reading The Adventures of Lewis and Clark, and I just cried like a baby when it ended. Well, it ends badly. It's pretty epic. For one of them. Pretty epic.

I mean, but they were put together for this adventure, and then they went their separate ways. Yeah. They did something together, and then they parted ways. Yeah, so they were just kind of, so they weren't inseparable. They were put together, and then they parted ways. Yeah, so they were just kind of, so they weren't inseparable. They were put together and then they separated. What about Adam and Eve?

Interesting you put Adam and Eve in the historical duo category. Well. Because they're lovers. That's the only reason, that's the only reason I question it. We're not here to- Adam and Eve. Not here to offend anyone. Adam and Eve, I mean, that's quite a duo. We wouldn't be here without them, Link.

If you said Adam, what you gonna say? And Eve. Everybody knows about Adam and Eve. So it's just a question. Yeah, they didn't actually exist though. But let's just, okay, let's for a moment. So we're gonna give them the- Well, okay, let's for a moment. So we're going to give them the- Well, let's just consider for a moment.

Let's just, for the sake of this argument, let's say that they are historical, okay? As you might guess, I have many reasons to believe almost with complete confidence that they are not. However, they didn't do good things for us, bro. The whole point of the story is that they screwed it up for everybody. Yeah.

The Wright brothers, on the other hand, are like bringing planes. And then Adam and Eve are ruining it for everyone, bringing sin upon the world, destruction and death. Plus we played the Wright brothers in Epic Rap Battles of History. We did, we did. We also played Lewis and death. Plus, we played the Wright brothers in Epic Rap Battles of History. We did, we did. We also played Lewis and Clark.

We did. We did. But the Wright brothers was a more iconic one because we were up against the Mario brothers and we beat them. I'm sure there's other iconic historical duos that we left out. We're gonna go with the Wright brothers.

But the Wright brothers are winning in our mind. Let's move on to comedy duos that we left out. We're going to go with the Wright brothers. But the Wright brothers are winning in our mind. Let's move on to comedy duos. Comedy duos. Now, Jamie, first one you put up here was Abbott and Costello. Yes. Which I know, I've certainly heard of Abbott and Costello. And if you say Abbott, I'm going to say and Costello. Yeah.

Or maybe Kenny. What? Is that his. What is that? What South? No, the street in Venice. Oh, okay. Abbott and Costello. Now they did the who's on first bit. So we do know that.

But I've never watched Abbott and Costello. You know, it's too black and white for me. You haven't chosen to. You probably have. You've seen that bit, you know, represented in some sort of documentary about the history of comedy or something on CNN. To be an iconic comedy duo,

even if no one has ever seen you, they've still heard of you and they heard of your bit. You know? Yeah. That's powerful. Well, very interesting tidbit about these guys. Costello used to fake his voice as their pair started out, as a pair started out on the radio and their voices were too similar for people to tell them apart. Huh.

He faked his voice to make them sound more alike or he fixed it by faking his voice? Well, based on what I just said, I think he made it different so that their voices sounded too similar. Because their voices sounded too similar. Oh, okay. So it's to differentiate. If all you got is your voice on the radio.

So, I mean, I think people can, I think people can easily tell our voices apart, even though on the spectrum of all people's voices, we would be probably put in the same category. Like if there are like 10 categories of voices. Yeah. And be in the same category, but there's enough. Our inflection is the same.

You know, to go back to the music of it all. And, you know, they talk about, there's a thing called blood harmony, where it's when you're brothers or when you're related, you're able to have this close harmony that just like completely blends. And it's a combination of what some people would say is genetics and upbringing.

But we're able to have that because we've shared so much life and conversations that we talk the same. We say words the same. Most of it comes from pronunciation of words. We say the word unique the same way. Unique. Yeah. So it doesn't take any effort. It doesn't take any effort to-

Sing in unison. To match that. Or in harmony, yeah. Like the intonation, expression. Also interesting about these guys, I mean, who cares too much, right? But Costello believed he was the main reason for their success, so they split income 60-40.

Oh, shit. That's dicey. Yeah. That's dicey. Yeah, yeah, that's not, I don't like that. I don't like that. One of them asserting like a 10% edge. What?

A 20% edge. Well, 20% net. Yeah. I guess that is the way to say it. All right, they're disqualified. Disqualified because of that. Key and Peele. You know Key and Peele.

Now, oh, man. Such an amazing sketch show. When it comes to comedy duos, like, they were in every sketch together, and you were always looking forward to what each of them was gonna do. And they each did different things well. Even when they, like the type of characters

that they could really play, you would, even if you use the same adjectives to describe both characters, like over the top, the way that they were over the top, it's like they would take the same thing, but still be very different and complimentary. And so, because you have to, because they're always interacting with each other.

The fact that they could create sketch after sketch after sketch and have this dynamic interaction that you never got tired of. Mm-hmm. Is, I mean, and they weren't like, Adam Costello, I think were just playing

the characters that they developed. And it's like what we do on Good Mythical Morning. We're embodying the caricatured versions of ourselves day in, day out and living that. They would reinvent themselves from the ground up

for every single sketch. Yeah. And they rarely did sequels. I mean, so if you just think about that, the fact that they were able to form combination after combination, it's like they created iconic fictional comedy duos like a factory.

I mean, because if you throw out like Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly, they got a handful of movies that are iconic and amazing. I mean, they're a great duo, but you know, they're also not a duo. They're not. Yeah, they do a whole lot on their own. So they did what Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly did

in a handful of movies. They did that again and again and again, episode after episode, multiple seasons. Okay, well, it goes without saying that in terms of the comedic output, how much it makes me laugh of anything that's on the list, it's like most consistently Key and Peele is going to win.

So in terms of what they made to- Caliber. Yes. Caliber. But let's talk about the demerits, okay? They did it for a certain amount of time. And at this point, it's over, right? At this point, it's over.

Well, yeah. They each had the thing that they wanted to do. And they're both incredibly talented. They broke up and they're thriving as individuals. Yeah. In separate ways. And like in Jordan's case,

in a way that unless you knew them well, you would not have known he was sitting on this, you would not have known he was sitting on like this, like one of the best filmmakers of our time. Yeah, now that's his identity. It's eclipsed. I mean, you can almost forget about Key and Peele when your starting point is Monkey Paul movies. And so if what you are doing,

if what one person is doing is beginning to eclipse what the duo did together, that's a demerit, man. Yeah. Mm-hmm. What do you want me to tell you, Tim and Eric? Tim and Eric? You know, Tim and Eric-

Much respect to Tim and Eric. Much respect to Tim and Eric for forging a tone of comedy. They basically. That is just bewildering. The tone, yeah. I mean, yeah, to just, to be so distinct in terms of a brand. But they do stuff separately. I mean, but they've done it in a way- They don't do anything.

They do very little together right now. I did see them- Right. I did notice- But you know that we'll come back together and everyone will be elated. An AP News TikTok that was, you know, occasionally during the strike,

they'll have an actor out on the picket line kind of talking or whatever. Like ripping a CEO a new one? And it was Tim and Eric, and they were talking like the protesters, and they were legitimately protesting, but doing it in a very Tim and Eric way on the AP News. Oh, yes.

And it was just- I love it. It was great. It was, they were talking about, they had this bit about AI, and they were saying, A, A, I think this. Like they were saying A and then I. And it just struck me as so silly.

So dumb. Yeah, but I don't question, exactly, even if you didn't tell me that, I don't question that they're still a duo, even though they are not doing things right now. They did that. And I know that they will, I just believe. Well, Tim has his-

They'll keep doing stuff. Tim kinda has his, for lack of a better word, digital presence, right? In the office hour stuff that he does that pops up in my TikTok feed. Yeah. And then Eric is doing more of the like traditional acting stuff.

He'll pop up and, oh, he's on this show. Oh, he's on that movie. Right. Tim will do that too. Tim was in Us. Yeah. Jordan Peele. But. I mean, I'm not gonna put him above Keem Peele.

No, I don't think you can. I don't think you can. Going back black and white, Laurel and Hardy. I just, you know. I'm sure that if we were trying to quantify the way that these guys contributed to the history of comedy, we would probably give it to them.

But like, we just don't know anything. I mean, I know what they look like, and I can see some sketches, but I'm not one of those. That's everybody we got. Neither one of us is the kind of person that goes back to watch stuff that's supposed to influence. When you're learning about some scientific concepts

or whatever, there's a certain type of person that's like, I'm going to go back and I'm going to read everything that led up to this point so I fully understand it in context. Okay. And there are people that do that with entertainment. They're like, well, you know, the only reason that Tarantino makes movies the way that he does is because of this filmmaker and this filmmaker.

Laurel and Hardy. And I know that we should probably be educated in this way, but neither one of us is, we don't know anything about this stuff. Don't take an apologetic tone. No, so what I'm telling you is that this is, I'm not saying this is the definitive. I don't give a shit about black and white.

So you think if something is in black and white, it's bad? If it's not in widescreen, I won't watch it. Well. If it's not in 4 white, it's bad? If it's not in widescreen, I won't watch it. Well. If it's not in 4K, it's not for me. As I told you last year or the year before, I had this. Our show is not in 4K, by the way. I had this judgmental tone about. It will be soon. We're working on it, hopefully.

I had this judgmental tone about. It's a Wonderful Life. Is that the one? And then I finally did actually watch it. Okay. And it was very good. It's three hours long, though. What else do you have to do?

Everything. Categorize stuff. I mean, this is coming from a guy who watches every episode of Survivor and you're complaining about the time that you have? Well, not in one sitting. Well, divide it up, man. Dude, we don't have any other comedy duos.

I think I'm gonna have to give it to us. Ooh. I mean, I don't care. I'll do it. Okay. Well, I didn't know we were in the category.

Now, if you just search comedy duo, are we even in the conversation? Double act Wikipedia is the first thing that comes up, and Laurel and Hardy is the first thing that comes up, and Laurel and Hardy is the picture.

But I'm just going to do a little search to see. Oh, modern-day YouTube channels follow this format. Okay, well, the paragraph, well, it says, some examples include Smosh, Dan and Phil, The Game Grumps, and Rhett and Link of the YouTube channel Good Mythical More. But we're mentioned 12 times, no, two times. One out of two is what I've... What's the second time we're mentioned?

In a list. In a list at the bottom. Okay. For us, it says Key and Peel had a show on Comedy Central. So we are the last thing mentioned in 90s to present day comedy duo. Oh, we're the last great comedy duo. We are the most recently mentioned comedy duo on the Wikipedia double act entry.

I'll take it. If you exclude, well, and the heading is history. Yeah, history. That's kind of cool. Hey, okay, then I think we can give it to ourselves. Listen, obviously we're not making sketches and never have made sketches as funny as Key and Peele, but hey, we're still doing it.

We're still together. Yeah, should we argue for ourselves a little bit more? Yeah, I mean, coming up on 40 years of friendship, build an entire, let's not do this. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, this is the kind of thing you let other people say about you. Yeah. I mean, you probably shouldn't even have brought it up.

Let's edit all of our self-aggrandizement. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're not the best comedy duo of all time. And by edit out, I mean leave it in, but also leave what I'm saying right now in. You know how this goes. So we're giving it to So we're giving it to... We're giving it to us.

I didn't say that. I'm giving it to Key and Pill. We're YouTubers, man. We're not comedians. All right. Some honorable mentions in the other category. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.

Yeah, right. Great duo. There is an and there, not an ampersand. It's hard to mention one without the other. And it's cool that they've made their first appearance in entertainment as one person. Right. They are sisters. I mean, how often does that happen? They are twins. Two demerits. But the fact that they're not, and now they have another sister who's more famous than them. But the fact that they're now, and then they now they have another sister who's more famous than them.

But they, all those VHS sales, well they're just riding high. Jamie, I noticed that you- They live together? You didn't include the Island Boys on this list. Yeah, what's up with that? Oh, the Island, well- The Island Boys.

It's not too late. It's not too late. They're very- Pretty. Are they still big? Like do people still even talk about them? They're awesome. We love them. Really? I don late. They're very, are they still big? Like do people still even talk about them? They're awesome. We love them. Really?

I don't know anything about them, but I love them. Okay, well you should probably take. Very interesting. Okay, so just a word to the wise, you know, if you don't know anything about someone, don't say I love them. I am against everything that I should be against. Have they been, they're bad people?

I don't know. I was just joking. I don't know anything about them, but I- I just like the word the island boys. Sounds cool to me. So you don't, when I say the island boys- I've seen a picture of them. So, okay.

Face tats. I don't know anything about them. Big hair. But I'm just saying, just based on the little bit that I have clips here and there that I've seen, I would not say- I was being facetious. I endorse anything about the Island Boys. See, if Eric Wareheim was my comedic partner,

he would have taken that and ran with it. He would have loved them too, facetiously. Yeah, that's right, that's right. Penn and Teller. Well, one of them done talked. But he does now. He don't carry a lot of weight. He does nower. Well, one of them doesn't talk. But he does now. He does now, though. Oh, he does?

He does on their Fool Me show. He talks now. Pretty sure. They have longevity. They're magicians. That's a demerit. They're the best magician duo. Easily.

Well, hold on. Yeah, think about it. Let's not get hasty here. I mean, if I search magician... Oh, name another magician duo. Because those tiger guys were not magicians, were they? Wikipedia has a magician duo. Barry and Stuart.

Okay. The Davenport brothers. Siegfried and Roy. Sieg Barry and Stuart. Okay. The Davenport brothers. Siegfried and Roy. Siegfried and Roy, that is tiger hands. That ended badly. Yeah, there's no one I recognize here except for Siegfried and Roy.

What happened to them? Well, one of them got attacked by a tiger. Go figure. They both died in the past three years. But not together. And that was a missed opportunity. Penn and Teller gets mad props from us. They've had multiple shows.

I would like to see their Vegas show, but like television show, bullshit. It was fun. Very distinct and complimentary personalities. It works. No need for tigers. If a tiger is your prop, you're not a duo anymore. You know?

All right, let me give you this. Hanna-Barbera. This is a duo. I wouldn't even know they were a duo. Right, because- I just thought it was a person named Hanna-Barbera. This is a duo. I wouldn't even know they were a duo. They don't, right, because- I thought it was a person named Hanna-Barbera. No, it's two people, William Hanna and Joe Barbera are- Again, I know everything about this.

They invented Tom and Jerry, Yogi Bear, the Jetsons, the Flintstones. Okay, there's a lot to love here. Scooby Doo, Johnny Quest. All right. Trixie Mattel and Katya. Did I say that right? Yes. Okay.

They have a very, very popular podcast. They're hilarious together. Okay, that's Jamie's entry. That is mine. That's your favorite duo? Maybe not out of- Duo of all time. Not of all time. Okay.

And I guess Tenacious D, Silent Bob, and Jay, otherwise known as Jay and Silent Bob. We'll just throw them out there, but I'm giving the miscellaneous category, Penn and Teller have swept away with it. Okay, all right, so here we go. The definitive determination of the best duo is by category by this duo, Red Link.

By this duo. The most recently named duo in the history section of duos on Wikipedia. Let's put that on a t-shirt. I mean, it is- It's so easy to change. It's a bragging right, right? Yeah, by the time this comes out, it'll be changed.

For my rec, I'm gonna go back to a music rec. You gave a good music rec last week. And since we already talked about OutKast and we're talking about duos, like I'm going to recommend that you listen to their 1998 album, Equemini. Equemini is a Aquarius and a Gemini running shit. Because one of them's, you know, Aquarius and one of them's a Gemini.

And then that song, like, if you're going to listen to a song, listen to Equimini. And because it explores the duality of their duo. So we would be Labrim and I. It's a great song. We should release an album called Labrim and I. Labrim and I. I like that. It sounds like a novel.

Labrim and I. My summer with Labrim. You got anything else to say about that? You can edit it out. Or now you're just texting. I was, I was just gonna read a little bit from that. Yeah. Even the sun goes down, heroes eventually die, horoscopes often lie, and sometimes why?

Equimini. Nothing is for sure, nothing is for certain, and nothing lasts forever, but until they close the curtain, it's him and I. Equimini. They wrote a song about their friendship. Oh, that's great. It's awesome, you know? Yeah. Shout out to Daddy Fat Sacks and Three Stacks.
