That's the powerful backing of Amex. Conditions apply. Welcome to Ear Biscuits, the podcast, where two lifelong friends talk about life for a long time. I'm red. And I'm Link this week at the Roundtable of Dim Lining.

We are, what are we doing, man? We're... What are we doing? Let me look at what we're doing. What do I know that we're doing? We're answering questions. I know that we're going to get some accents. Yep.

I know that we're going to help a surfer. I know that Jenna is in the building. In the room, actually. We got to hear about her knee. and you know what we'll save some voicemails to the end of this episode to just hear from loyal listeners who are processing the news that were taking in a definite break from your biscuits starting at the end of this year

and we should probably be starting to say that I just said it at the end of the beginning of each episode at the beginning of each episode because people don't listen to everything Educate. Yeah. And we did a whole episode. Let the information infiltrate. About why that's happening.

So we're not going to tell you why, but yes. So we've got, how many more episodes including this one? Are we looking at? Eight. Eight. Look at that. Eight more episodes of Ear Biscuits. The easy letdown.

So we'll get there. I'm obsessed with something. I've had two of them. I mentioned one of them to you. And then over the weekend, I went back and got another from a different place. Kalachis? No.

I like a good Kalachi, but you can't really find those in that way. I saw a video of a kid who had moved from Texas to California. His mom was telling him that they don't have Kalachis, and he was just like, what? Right. What? They don't believe in them? It's a hard thing to understand if you grew up having them.

Because once we had him in Alisdala, outside of Austin. We're like, why is this not everywhere? Just outside of Austin. Describe a Kalachi for those who don't know. Yeah, for those who don't know. And I'm just asking for friends. Honestly, I feel like it's a really great hot pocket.

But it's like a, I would call it. It's like a bun with stuff in it. It's more of like a donut with meat inside of it. Right? It's not, it's not sweet if it has meat inside of it. But the consistency of the. It's a stuffed bread, bun type thing. And you can have like,

A lot of breakfast stuff in it. It's nice. It's really good. It should be more available. There should be more. To us. Because we are spoiled and we think that we have everything here in L.A. But you're not right.

It's not Kalachis. Nope. You had one and then you wanted to go get another one. It's a fusion dish. Sushi. Burrito. Boreto. Sushi burrito.

I got one from this A different place The first place was like a A fish shop Fish King And they had I was like I'm going to try one of these But they wouldn't let you swap anything out

And then I went to this other place Oh you're a swapper And I like to swap things out But yeah I'm trying to decide if it's just too much Or if I like it more than a role What makes it fusion other than the fact that it's a brito.

Nothing. That's it. I mean, the word burrito makes me think of Mexican food, so I assume it's some sort of fusion. But the ingredients are all sushi ingredients. Oh, yeah. Even the wrap is, well, for me, it's soy paper because I don't like that green crap.

Seweed, man. Seweed, what? That changes everything. It's wonderful. You can't even bite through it. The moment you put that in your mouth, your body and your brain everything is telling you

wait wait you forgot to remove the wrapper take that out of your mouth spit that out and it tastes like you're insulting the entire culture right now just so you understand what is happening well listen I'm kind of being self-deprecating I know this is a man who's about to go to shaking your head people shaking the head at me

you're about to go to Japan and you just said that about for my I just don't, I mean, you ever eating a starburst with the wrapper on? Yeah, and you can do that. You can do that. It's known. You can eat a starburst with the wrapper on it. Yeah, but you got to really work yourself up to it.

And as you're doing it, it's okay. People say you can do this. I mean, the fact is, it's not as good as if you remove the wrapper. Everything that's on the inside of the burrito comes from the sea, and so you take it and you take this other thing from the sea and you wrap it. It's the perfect expression. It's the perfect thing. And then you're like, no, let's go get it.

get some soy paper. It's a little bit stretchy. It's easy to bite through. It doesn't... I don't dislike soy paper. It doesn't steal the thunder of what's inside. I just don't like the taste of seaweed, and I don't like the texture of it. And what else is there to food, but taste and texture?

You know? What am I supposed to like? The fact that everybody else likes it? Okay. Noted. Here's the thing. I wouldn't say that I like it. I would say that if people get a sushi roll...

You're offending a whole culture right now. If you get a sushi roll and one of them has soy paper and one of them has seaweed, I will say, unless someone points it out, it will go... I don't even think of it. It goes right over my head. Don't let me be the one to make you start thinking about it. Because if you do, it might bring up problem. Because I'm not really there for that.

I'm there for what's inside. Exactly. And I don't want to have to get through something to get to it that I don't like. But I like everything inside, and I used to not be that way. That's true. You have grown. Spicy tuna. You're grown.

I subbed in spicy tuna into my crab, shrimp, avocado arrangement. I don't really like... Instead of what? Tuna. I just added it. Oh. But I don't... Yeah, there's a lot of...

Anyway, this is supposed to be a positive conversation. If I'm moving... I'm moving closer to... It's a bigger sushi. It's like big American sushi and a Mexican rapper. Yeah, I don't... I had sushi on Friday night. No?

Yeah, before our little get-together, yes. Okay. And I don't know. The burrito of it all defeats the purpose for me because it's just like the whole beauty of the sushi experience is that you can get a whole lot of different stuff. Like you can get this role and this role and if you get a lot of people there in your show.

And then the bites, I do understand. And it's just one little bite. It's like, oh, this is interesting. You got the sticks. And if you get a rainbow roll and it's got all the different stuff on top. And the burrito is kind of like, I feel like I would just get tired of it. Just honking it down. There's hand rolls.

Like, it's interesting that the sushi roll is a thing, the sushi burrito is the thing that gets you excited about sushi. Because there's plenty of rolls that have soy paper. Yeah. And I get those. In fact, I had one. I had a soy paper roll. It's not, I'm not saying it's better than. a soy paper sushi roll.

I am not saying that. I'm saying it's different enough to be something that I'm now excited about. Hold on. I'm just deconstructing this for you because it's hitting me now. You're also the guy who insists on anything that we eat on the show, you insist on taking it apart before you eat it.

Like sometimes it's to get something out that you don't like, sometimes just to show the camera. Here's the thing. A sushi roll is like, like a burrito that's been cut up for you so you can see everything that's on the inside. It's wonderful. But so why?

I love it. I'm just saying there's something going on psychologically here. You know how it is. You know how people get excited when I diagnose you with something. So I'll just move forward with that. I'm not saying... Something is wrong with you. I really like the role.

I like the role. This is not replacing the role, but I'm obsessed with it because... But why is it exciting you? Because it's mushy. Oh, God. It's a big... honking thing of mush in your hand. It's the reason why I like burritos,

but now it's sushi stuff inside of there. I wish they would start doing brittos as little rolls that are cut up. That's what we really need to do. If chefs out there, if you're listening, we need to take Mexican food and this big burrito, you need to make it in something in a way that it can be cut up and arranged on a plate

so we can just take individual pieces of it and eat it and share burritos. You're talking about tapas. No, no. I'm talking about a burrito, that has been cut into little sections that me and my friends can sit down and eat one bite at a time.

So Mexican sushi. Yeah, why is that not a thing? It should be a thing. Yes, I will say sushi burrito is better than something. A pokey bowl. If I could get everything into a pokey bowl in a wrap...

Is like holding the food? Is that what it is? Like, when I get a pokey bowl and I'm using the chopsticks and I'm going in for it and I'm trying to get my bite and stuff. At the very beginning, it's really unwieldy. Stuff's falling off the side. It feels a little bit like chaos to me.

So psychologically, there's a little bit of a control thing. All of this mush is in my hand. It comes down to mush. I forgot how much is like mush. No, and control. I like to have control over mush. And it tastes good.

And it's, hey, maybe it's not for you. That's okay. Oh, I'm sure I would love it. No, it's not that I wouldn't like it. You're crapping on two cultures. Three. I haven't crapped on any culture. Crabbing on culture is like the last thing

that you're gonna get out of this guy, okay? You're crapping on sushi culture, you're crapping on burrito culture, and all the Americans who said, we need it all together and we need it in our hand. Everyone's offended with you. Speaking of food, I am, I mean, because I didn't think I was going to talk about this, but it's so ridiculous, and you'll think it's funny.

I'm on day two of only eating sardines. Here he is talking about my psychology. And then he's sitting over here on nothing but sardine? Just for three days. Oh, come on, dude. Just a little sardine reset. What? What's wrong with you?

Oh, I got lots wrong with me. Why are you doing this? Well, first of all, I love sardines. And it's not just sardines. I make a little sardines. You know, a little bit of mayonnaise, a little bit of mustard, a little bit of hot sauce, a little bit of relish. I essentially make a tuna fish using sardines or mackerel, like oily fish. And this is, you're doing this for the diet, so you're eating mayonnaise, mustard, and sardine diet.

Well, there's no sugar in any of those ingredients. So anyway, I'm not going to be taking fish oil supplements again, probably ever, because my heart situation. Like, they're good for your heart, but for some people that can induce a-fib, I was taking, maybe, so anyway, I'm trying to get the, I eat sardines and mackerel because I try to get my omega-3s naturally, which is better anyway, right? So I eat a lot of sardines already. but I and I watch a lot of YouTube videos about sardines I mean I love the YouTube man I spend so much effing time on I'm gonna I'm not gonna cuss for these last eight just for y'all good

yes I am clean it up I watch so I watch so many YouTube videos about very specific things and I got into this weekend I got into a sardine rabbit hole I guess that's just a sardine hole mm-hmm and it smells good down there. So what, so yet, this was a, this was a total out of the blue thing. Yesterday morning, last kind of hole I'm jumping down. Yesterday morning I was eating, I was like, you know what, I'm going to have, I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to do my little sardine thing. I'm just going to, I'm going to make that, I had eaten a bunch on Saturday and I just felt like, I just,

I felt like, I want to, I need a reset or something. So I just was like, I'm going to eat sardines and then I'm going to go on a hike. I went on a hike. I was on a hike. I was on a hike for about, six hours yesterday what I took my camera and I just and I took my journal I was out there taking pictures sitting down writing things you know I was like a breath smell like sardines who wrote Walden it was my little it was a Henry David Thoreau afternoon except if he had a camera and there was a lot of people also hiking all right because it was in Los Angeles it wasn't a pond I passed many ponds no I It was, you know, it was a stream.

Anyway, when I got back, I was watching a, no, before I left, I was watching a video. And there was this doctor and she was talking about this crazy experiment with this woman ate only sardines for 30 days and all this crazy stuff that happened, right? And then she was like explaining why it happened. And then she said, I don't suggest that you do that. But I've been telling my patients to do a three-day sardine only. No, it's not, cleanses are, I don't believe in cleanses necessarily. So call it something different.

So you can believe it. Because a cleanse is something about, like, toxins and stuff like that, which I think is probably junk science. But there's a... But only sardines? Oh, no, for three days. First of all, fasting in general is good for you. But what you end up doing is you raise your, the omega-3s in your blood. But for me, it's just like, I just, I'm eating all this junk.

I just wanted, I had my birthday and a cake, and I was just like, let me just take a little reset. This would just be a fun little thing to do, right? And so I didn't have enough sardines, so I went to the grocery store and got some, and I made like a bigger batch. And so that's why I told Jenna I don't need lunch today because I have my little sardin, just sardine salad waiting for me in the fridge. And it is going to be so good because I'm so hungry. And then on Wednesday, I'll eat regular food again. Maybe even a sushi burrito. I highly recommend it.

This is Olivia. from New Jersey. I'm a long time fan. I've been listening since I was seven and I'm turning 21 this fall. I have a question. I'm from New Jersey. Okay. And you know we love our road rage. I want to know what your thoughts are on road rage etiquette. Do you flip them off? Do you wave them? Do you scream out the window? It's just, is it a polite beep? I'm feeling liquid like a polite beep. Let me know because my

sister and I argue about this, like, every day. She's aggressive, I'm not, with the road rage, and, yeah, I thought it would be fun. Okay, love you guys, bye. Long time fan? Long time fan. You think Link would like a polite beat? I started. You haven't been paying attention.

Why do you mean? I have a response to that, but I'm going to save it until after we hear from you. I would like to address the polite beep. Assumption and say she might be right, but what's your take on road rage? You've have it. You know, I mean, the first thing I will say is that contrary to what I think is popular belief, especially because we made we we released that video that went viral of me acting like I was upset about the chairs and like people were like I know this is fake, but there's something real there like people just people want to believe that I I just get mad all the time.

And the fact is, is that it takes a whole lot to make me mad. And in fact, I almost never get road rage. That's true. Even when people do crazy shit, I guess I did cuss. I don't know. There's just like, I can vouch for this. There's just something, I don't, it doesn't register with me. When people like do something crazy, like last minute, like coming and getting right in front of me and stuff like that.

Literally, if I'm by myself, I will go, huh, huh. Like, that was interesting that you decided to do that. I don't know, I don't know what it is. Now, but there's been a couple of times where people will do something that's like, you just did something that put, like, legitimately put my life in danger or someone else's life in danger. Like, cutting in at the last second is just an asshole thing. That's not a, I don't think it's dangerous. But is somebody like is going to side swipe you

and you have to swerve over to not get sideswiped or something like that. Uniformly, my response is laying on the horn. Solid. 10 seconds. Because it, because it's like, oh shit. That you know that's about what you just did. You know what I'm saying.

But never rolling down the window, I don't think I've ever flipped the bird out of... I don't think I've ever flipped the bird to anyone that it wasn't a joke. I've done that a lot. I don't think I've ever flipped the bird out of anger. I don't think I've ever seen you flip the bird out of anger. So it is Longhorn.

Longhorn Steakhouse is my sponsor. For your road rage. For my road rage. Red's road rage is rare, but when it happens, when happens, it is brought to you by Longhorn Steakhouse. Boy, that would be, you know what? Run on the road to say, hey, use my coupon code. Yeah.

The Longhorn Steakout. If there was any justice in the world and there was any, like, logic in the world of marketing, then Longhorn Steakhouse, the person who works in that department right now would be getting on the phone and being like, listen. I have an idea. I got an idea. Or this guy had it, but we're going to sponsor Rep. McLaughlin's Road Rage. And listen, you should do it, and I'm available. I love Longhorn.

I recently made this case on GMM. I don't know if that episode's out yet. But I stood up for Longhorn. Remember that? Yeah, you were really going long and hard on Longhorn. Yeah, I was. Yes, you were. I love Longhorns.

I like the idea of that. You know, I mean, we're shooting an ad for Toyota. Maybe we could get Longhorn in and we can make it about Road Rage. The creatives locked. I don't think we can do that. I don't think we can make a collab. Yeah. We can't get us.

We can't piggyback sponsors. No, no. Longhorn, reach out. Come on, girl. Do it. We get you some rent-and-link road rage. Yeah. But I do vouch for you.

I mean, we don't have to get into the psychological part of this of like you feeling like you can't let people have it. I have let people have it before. It's very rare. It's very rare. And I think you've got to be in a fight or flight response, is what it sounds like. And then you're still just longhorn in it.

That's, that's... No, I think I'll do it when I think that it's necessary for what it is that I'm trying to achieve. And, like, somebody doing something stupid on the road is not actually going to prevent me from getting to the destination. That guy who effed us over at that video shoot 12, 13 years ago. Yeah. The reason I let him have it in front of everybody is because it was compromising what we were doing.

That was great. That's the last time I've really seen you, I mean, lash out. I could probably do it more. Maybe I should start doing it. We have an employee. Weekly. A team member who I'm not going to mention because, but I am going to tell the story. Because he has footage.

You walked in the room and he was showing me the footage of there were two lines. that are like turning left and everybody's in the right lane, nobody's in the left lane, and then someone who's like halfway in the stop lane, had been in that lane waiting for a long time, they finally decided to pull over right in front of him and he has to slam all brakes and skid to not hit this person. Whoa! And then when they turn left...

How do you have footage of this? Dash cam? He has a dash cam. Then when they both turned left, she got in the right, lane and then he stayed in the left lane and then he got up beside her and then I was surprised to hear that the window was rolled down and like he just let her have it because you know he thought that he could have this could have been a big accident right yeah when you're when you're skidding and almost hitting somebody because they're pulling out in front of you and he noticed that her back Bumper was off.

She's done this before. And her side, her side of her car had been, like, really bashed in kind of thing. So it was like, all right, this is somebody who's baiting insurance checks. And then the person was a professional road rage receiver and gave it right back to him, rolled the window down. Called him a dog effer. Wow, that is deep. Yeah, yeah, that is, I mean, if you're going that deep into road rage, and you're on the receiving end of it

and you're giving a dog effort? Dog effort is the new mother effort, I think. Because when somebody says mother effort, it's kind of like, that makes me cool. But dog effort, there's nothing cool about that. Like nobody says, I'm a bad dog effort. You know what I'm saying? Nobody gets a wallet that says bad dog effort.

No. So I think dog effort is the new mother effort. I think it is. So that's, I mean, that one always works. I think in a road rage situation. he thought it was funny and then he switched his tactic and was like been really nice to her and said like I hope you have a great day he said something else I can't remember but it was a real zinger but again not my story to tell for me I've heard about this I when I think about road rage I typically experience it on the receivingness

That's true Like I'll hear a lot of horns Some short some long And I find myself sometimes audibly asking Is that for me? Is that at me? Is that? Yeah, a lot of times it is probably

And I think it might be Yeah I mean is that person rolling on their window And saying dog effort to me? Yes? It looks like it. Eye contact No, it's not usually

So yeah, I'll receive A lot of road rage And you're exactly right, caller I prefer a light beep Oh, in response Yeah, I like to receive a light beep Sorry, you know, it happens Oh, yeah, I thought that you give it back

No, no, no Acknowledged, did it, I raised the hand And I tilt the hit It's a little apologetic I'm always touching the roof of my car in acknowledgement of someone's patience. What is the typical scenario? I mean, you do the last minute cut in.

Yeah, the last minute cut in. But there's usually a gap. 60% of the time, there's a gap. And then the other 40% I'm having to ask forgiveness. On our commute home, which is the same route, there is a spot this brings up another conversation which we should have

there is a spot where you have to go from the HOV lane to get on the other highway and it almost it almost always necessitates a cut in of some kind and so in that spot

I will say I do it pretty regular but it's just as fast as I could get from the thing to the thing but when I'm driving with you, when I'm riding with you, like, you're the guy that goes into the piece of the pie, the pie of pavement that no cars are supposed to be on this, got like rocks and shit all over it. Like, you know, it's like, this is not, this is the place where nobody drives except the,

the like 14 guys a day, guys all the way, who, who, who, who cut in at the last second across, like you're off-roading for a second. It's the safety net in order to not, if you have to come to a complete style, you want to do it there. You don't want to do it in a lane. Yeah. But this raises the other question, which is we both have electric cars

and we both have been taking advantage of being able to drive in the HOV lane. And then I just found out that... Yeah, I don't want to have this conversation. You're supposed to own... Now it's just for people who have a second person. They had... However...

They had the incentive to buy electric vehicles in the state, which was you can be riding a single rider if you have this HOV sticker because it's an electric car you can ride in that lane and that's gone away. And they phase it out a lot of people have electric cars now.

They phase it out, but here's the thing. And there's still places... I don't want to be accountable to this information. There's still places that have a sign that say clean air vehicles okay. I don't know, man. This is a tough ethical situation for me right now, but I will say that I'm still driving in the HOV lane right now.

Yeah. Because I got an electric car. That's the way it was. It's one of the reasons I bought it. It's hard to take something away. And the thing is, is that if you get pulled over, which it might happen in some point. They got a lot of lanes to pull you over.

You got to go all the way across everything? It's a fine. It's not a traffic violation. It's a traffic violation, but it's not like you've got to go to court. It's not a speeding. infraction or whatever. You don't have to go to court? And I will say, I'm an honest man, I'm a man of integrity.

But I do plan on saying, what? I just, I've been doing this for 10 years. Like, what? I got the sticker. Oh, yeah, they updated it. Oh, really? Thank you for letting me know. That was six months ago, sir.

And then after that ticket, which I hopefully will get out of, I'll change my ways. But if I get out of it, maybe I won't change my ways. Real, recognize, real man. You know I'm gonna do that, too? What? And hopefully I don't get pulled over by a cop who watches this podcast. This is the real reason we're stopping the podcast.

It's too self-incriminating. Right. I never break the law, man. It's just, come on, really? Like, there's nobody over there. I got an electric car. I got the sticker. I'm so used to it.

I'm so used to it. It's just out of habit. Oh, God, yeah. I hate it. I was not a part of this conversation. It's either of that or put a mannequin in the other. in the other seat? I thought about that.

Yeah, it's an inconvenience when you needed to put a purse in there, though. It just needs to be the top of a mannequin, though. Maybe it could be a hologram. That could turn on and off. Blindfold a mannequin head, which is basically just tying the mannequin's head to the headrest.

And it's like, yeah, I have a blindfolded companion. And then you just have a hoodie that just sort of like hangs down. But road rage for me, if I'm giving it out, is an indication that I'm, I'm mad about other things, and I need to, I need to figure that out. Let's hear another voicemail.

Okay. We'll leave it at that. Hey, Renlink. This is Andrew from the beautiful state of California, A, and I am just now passing one of my favorite surf spots. And I just wanted to ask you guys, if you don't know anything about surfing, it can get a little bit hostile out there. Even though it's meant to be all good fun and games, sometimes people get wrapped up in the competitive aspects, and they can tend to be a little bit mean. So I'm here to ask you guys, is there any comments or one-line zingers you could give me to respond to people when they may be upset of me for not the most, I guess you could say viable reasons. Yeah, your advice to be greatly appreciated.

funny comments also appreciated but yeah, love you guys so much see you around, bye I mean first of all I think we've got the ultimate comeback dog effort I mean it's just like

I mean if somebody says something that you call him a dog effort and that'll shut it down real fast the problem is you paddle back out and then you're with those people if you're the guy who call it hanging out with dog efforts yeah right yeah

so don't do that you might not know this You've got to know the rules about surfing. But Lincoln and I here, we're, well, let's just say we were surfers. And when we say we were surfers, we were stand-up paddleboard surfers. So we know all about, we know all about what stuff that surfers will say out here in California. Condescension. I remember my dad told me when I was a kid, you know, because we lived out here when I was three, four, and five.

And I, you know, there's this story. of things that your parents tell you that just stick in your brain. And I specifically remember him talking about how brutal the surf culture was. And he was like, yeah, they'll, their boards are real sharp on the end, and if they get upset, they'll throw that board right into somebody's head

and kill him. And I was like, oh my God, really. So you never learned to surf. And so I, well, I knew that surfing, and I know, first of all, I don't think that what I just said is true, but surfing, maybe it's happened, but surfing is very territorial and is territorial by how good you are.

Yeah. And then it's, and then what class you're in, and if you're standing up, and if you're an old middle-aged man sending up on a board with a paddle, you are the bottom of the brung, you're the bottom rung. Yeah. And so I've only ever been the bottom rung because the couple of times I've tried regular surfing,

I got, there's just six foot seven, it's just too much body to get up on a board. on your own and by the time you're up the waves over you know so I like to already be standing I want to side with the surfers on this I think that you know caller you got if you're getting yelled at or you you know you're doing something you don't understand the etiquette you don't understand there's lots of rules you got to be observant and you got to you got to learn things and you can't be cutting people off and you can't be if if I don't know I think you got to take it as a I don't think you can have any snappy comebacks because you have to paddle

back out and you're back out there with these people yeah yeah you know you got to or you're just going to go somewhere else you're doing something you shouldn't do and you got to figure it out yeah so I'd be like maybe if if you're catching a wave and you cut somebody off and like they're calling you the dog effer or something? I think you would turn around and say, I'll be back in a few minutes to receive constructive criticism. Or, you know, I'm open to notes

after I ride this amazing wave. I think maybe this is, you turn the power of the dog effort back on itself, and if somebody yells at you, you're like, sorry, I'm a dog effer. Yeah. You take response. Sorry, I'm, ah, that was a dog effer move.

Yep, yep. And then... Is that, and that's worse than sheep effer? Should you start with sheep? No, I think that if we are actually ranking the ethical quandaries that are bestiality, right. I think that... I think dog is worse.

I think effing man's best friend is worse than effing... Right. ...a livestock. Yeah. I don't think you should do either, but if I had to do one... It would be a sheep, sheep. Not a dog. Good God.

I think sheep is bad because they're so stupid. But goats are bad because... They're evil. They're evil. Right. And dogs are bad because... They're your friend. They're your friend.

Yeah. And ducks are bad because, like, how the hell? Yeah, yeah. I don't even want to think about that. Rats? Okay. That's pretty bad. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Rank these. Where's rat? Where's rats? Because I think I've heard that one, rat after. Well, I mean, okay, if you insist on talking about this, I think that rats are actually probably one of the first mammals. It's all bad, but because we already use them in testing in a lot of ways. Okay.

You know. It's okay. It's almost okay? But I also don't really understand the physicality of it. I don't want to. Me neither. And I don't. It's all bad, though.

Let me just say that the official position, Ear Biscuits won't be around for much longer, but the official position of ear biscuits is anti-beastiality. Yeah, we are anti-beastiality, but there are levels to it. So if anybody from Longhorn, Longhorn, if anybody from Longhorn Steakhouse is watching and you think it might be problematic to have me as a sponsor, I want you to know I'm anti-beastiality.

What about a Longhorn? I just think it's better to have sex with a sheep than a dog. That's all I'm saying. If you had, and now, a cow? You're going to need a step stool. Maybe this could be part of the campaign. Is that there, you're going to need a step. We're against it, but if you must, then use a stepstool.

I'm never going to get Longhorn as a sponsor now. Yes, you are. Yes, you are. No, everybody's so scared of everything. They have bold flavors. They're scared of everything. They're like, let me tell you, okay, well, I'm down to the finish line. And they're like, McLaughlin is in.

You know what the... He's in for the Longhorn campaign. It's a road rage thing, it's great. And then some interns like, well... They ranked how bad. He said it was better to have sex with a sheep than a dog. And then he implied it was better to have sex with a cow than a sheep. He didn't say that though.

You know what, I'm gonna make you feel better about all this right now. Please. Please save me. Everything that you're concerned about them hearing? They won't. In post, we added a long horn over it. The whole thing?

Over the whole thing, yeah. So even the part where you were describing it. I don't believe that. We did add a long horn over a scene in Wonderhole, though. There was a lot of discussion

about the nature of that horn. There was a guy that we went to high school with and I would say that he was your brother's age. and there was a rumor that we all believed that he had had relations with the sheep. Right.

And clearly that was a high school rumor. That wasn't true. Clearly. But we just believed it. That kind of stuff sticks, man. Sad. It sticks. Sad.

But maybe he did, though. Yeah, maybe that's why. Maybe that's why it was a rumor. Maybe it was true. Maybe somebody caught him. No. So when you're turning around to the surfers who've let you have it, we're recommending you start with cow, then move to sheep.

Then if you're really a naughty boy and you keep upsetting them, then you've got to own dog. Right. You've got to go full dog on it. Right. So what you're saying, this to be real proud. here is if you make a mistake out there in the surf and it's not that bad but it's still a mistake you're like sorry I'm a cow effer right if you're really really bad you're a dog

effort yeah okay yeah and you got to know that you're still swimming with these people you're in the water with them yeah sitting around waiting for the next set taking notes how do you feel about the fact that we haven't been surfing we moved further away from the ocean. I feel horrible about it. I go into my garage and I look up there and I see those. I got so many surfboards in my garage.

They're hanging up. They look beautiful. They just, they look sad and. Well, here's the thing. Ready to be ridden. As you talked about, you don't have to surf. You can just go out and paddle. And usually, if you just pick a random day

on California coast, like they'll be something, but usually there's not a lot to speak of, to surf anyway, it's... Yeah. It is a lot of trouble to put the boards on the thing. We should sell our boards. That feels like admitting defeat. Nothing else is going to go where my boards are hanging.

Right. Yeah. So I'm just going to leave them hanging. Yeah. Leave them hanging. Next voice. Hey, Rittenling. This is Lauren.

I know y'all used to do a segment where you guessed where people were from based on their accents. So I was wondering if you can, could guess where I'm from, because I feel like I don't have an accent at all. Okay, sorry to laugh in your face, Lauren. You do have an accent. Okay. She sounds a little like, she's got a little fortune fiendster. Well, the first thing I was going to say was North Carolina.

I think it sounds North Carolina. It could be Virginia. Play one more time. Hey, Ruttenling. This is Lauren. I know y'all used to do a segment where you guessed where people were from based on their accents. So I was wondering if you could guess where I'm from. Because I feel like I don't have an accent at all. Um, from wandering, wondering. Um, I think might be down towards the coast. I think we're talking coastal southern. Still North Carolina, Virginia, not. Not more south. Virginia doesn't have a lot of southern accents anymore. I mean, they do exist, but... Yeah, you've got to be more in the mountains.

I think it's time for me... It's time for me to just admit that I'm not good at this. I can't hear because it sounded familiar to me, but then when you said West Virginia, all of a sudden, I was like... I said Western Virginia, but not West Virginia. I think... I'm going...

I'm going with down around Greenville, North Carolina, not South Carolina. Okay. I'm going to... So, ECU area, but not... But more in the sticks. And I'm going to go with West Virginia. Really? Yeah.

Okay. Let's hear it. I'm from Mississippi. I just want to say that... I love you guys, and I'm so sad to see the show leaving, but I can completely understand why. Bye. I'm just bad.

I'm bad at this. Mississippi. Mississippi. Oh, my gosh. Yep, we've got to hang it up. This is why we're taking any different break from the show, because we just can't get Southern accents. We're like, who are we?

Like, I thought I could do that. But there's so much nuance in an accent. Mm-hmm. Even now that I know that it's Mississippi, I'm still like, well, first of all, I don't, I don't think I know anybody from Mississippi. You know anybody from Mississippi? I don't think I do. Like, I know, out here, there's a lot of people, there are a lot of people from North Carolina. You run into a lot of people from North Carolina.

You run into a lot of people from Alabama, from Georgia, from Florida. That's true. Louisiana. I don't know anyone from Mississippi. Maybe they don't get out. Maybe they don't want to get out. What if Mississippi isn't real? Well.

Have you ever met? That's... I've been there. How do you know you were there? Well, because it was a sign. So welcome to Mississippi. And I remember it had so many S's. When did you go to Mississippi?

I've been through. My dad lived there when I was young. Okay, well, see? You do know somebody from there. Your dad. Well, he's not from there. He lived there for a while. He went back.

When he was there, he was from there. Yes. And when he went somewhere else, he had come from Mississippi. Yes. I've never been I've been I've been

I've visited okay well now I believe that it is real he also lived in Illinois I know people from there for a stint name another state I've met somebody from there but no one from Vermont

you don't know anybody from Vermont hold on a second I know somebody who's living there right now oh really yeah on a farm uh huh I know a person who lives on a farm in Vermont probably the same guy not the same person

This is somebody, they had red hair. Different guy. Mm-hmm. Okay. Jenna. Yeah. You're here. I am.

This is your first day back. It is. At the office after having your own little lockdown for two weeks, almost? Two and a half. Yeah. Did you, how crows? crazy did you go? Slightly, slightly crazy.

Yeah, yeah. I did probably around like the week after the surgery, I was losing my mind. Had a little mini breakdown, you know, trying to make tea waiting for water to boil, and I can't stand up for a long time. And I just decided I was going to cry in the kitchen. And, you know. And you were still standing or you crumpled to the floor? No, no, I ended up hobbling to the little bench by my front door to sit down and cry and cry.

Okay. I mean, you rarely sit on that bench, right? Rarely. It's a good, it's good to sit in a place you never sat and crumple and cry. Yeah, yeah. Well, usually I sit on that bench to put my shoes on or take my shoes off. Okay. This time it was just a cry.

And how do you feel after? Um, I felt pretty good after I had, it was a solid, it was a solid, like, hour of emotions. Whoa. Laura came in, brought me some tissues, told me to go lay down on the couch. He ended up making the tea for me. I'm glad you weren't alone. You just, sometimes you just have to cry about it. And then I was...

And it was just the, the, I mean, I have a little bit of relating to this when I brought my collarbone. It was just like the things that I couldn't do that were so simple. Yeah, it was all the stuff that was so simple that I was like, I just want to do all of my comfort things to make me feel better, but all of my comfort things I was unable to do. So like I couldn't take a nice hot, long shower. I couldn't, you know, cook myself some comforting food because it was standing too long. So, yeah, I couldn't do any of my comfort stuff.

So I lost it a little bit. But then I got better, but then, you know, it wasn't my period anymore. It wasn't the full moon. Good enough. All right. I slept a little bit. So where are you at with your knee? Because I saw you walk in here.

Yeah. And I'll let you describe how you walk. I just don't think it's my place to say. I definitely feel like I walk with a peg leg. I have a peg leg at the moment. Because the brace immobilizes it? The brace immobilizes it. I can't, when I'm not putting my full weight on it, I can unlock the brace and bend my knee.

But if I'm standing or walking, I have to have the brace locked in place so I don't bend my knee. So you're saying that you walk like a pirate? Yes. Okay. That's not what you would describe. It wasn't as cool as that, you say. It was very waddling grandmother to me. Cool, cool, cool.

That's definitely not what I was going for. I think it's just... Hey, let's go with pirate. I mean, swash-boggling grandma? It's the skirt with the wall because it's like a nice long skirt. Well, the skirts are easier to wear because it's like pants. I have to like do the... It's a whole process.

The skirts are easier. Yeah. Yeah, it's a lot. But I'm doing a lot better. I almost don't need the crutches anymore. I have them just in case. What about pain? Pain, now it's getting into the physical therapy pain of it all.

Like, I need to bend it. I need to, like, stretch it and all the things. So, like, the pain is coming from the physical therapy aspect of it, I guess. And then, like, it still hurts around the incision points a bit, too. How do they make sure, do you have to take anything to make sure your body doesn't reject the foreign tissue? No. Well, they did a, what's it called, prophylactic antibiotics? Like they had me on antibiotics during the surgery so that there wouldn't be an issue.

Right, but I know like when you get like a heart transplant or something like that, like a lot of people have to take. certain drugs for the rest of their life I would just assume maybe it because it's not like as big of an organ and is integral to everything as like a heart like it just hit me like do they have to make sure that the person had the same blood type as you

or like it doesn't have to be the same blood type apparently yeah because it's just like it's tendon yeah yeah so I don't have any I don't have any drugs I have to take to my body has accepted it I can feel it if everything feels in the right place.

Oh, wow. And you have gendered your knee as she. She, yeah. I noticed that Jenna referred to, she's like, she's doing good. And I was like, oh, so your knee is a woman. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, she's doing real good.

She, well, she's resilient. She's working hard. She's doing her best. Just like me. Just like you. But she is you. She is me. And I am her.

and we are all together. Okay. So you, see, Jenna has mentally and emotionally accepted the tissue. Yes. Yeah. As part of her sheeness. Uh-huh. Yeah.

Isn't that great? Sheeness, not to be confused with my weeness. Sheeness. Yeah. I might be able to donate my weenus to somebody. And still have plenty left over. You've got a lot of weenis. Yeah, I'm a live donor.

Put that on my license. Live weanus donor. He doesn't even have to be dead If you need him with loneliness, he's got it He can cover seven elbows with his Follow-up question So what is the most acceptable form of bestiality in your mind Still we're against it

Mm-hmm Still we're against it You're not pro in any way But like if you had to If I had to, no Not you personally Not me personally You didn't have to ask this question

I feel like the acceptable form would be Now this is so You're thinking pig I think the See the acceptable form is for I think Humans to receive And not to give the BCL You know what I'm saying?

Yeah you see so if you're a bottom Yeah yeah I think that's the acceptable BCCL Not acceptable It's still, we're still against it. But the most acceptable. But here's the thing.

I haven't told you about this. Oh my gosh. But Jesse is now, you know, she reads a lot of romance novels and she's not, she crossed over a little bit into a book where they turn into wolves. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Right? Yep. So I guess they're aware of a world. And those are called.

Usually shape shifters Yeah It depends on the lore So there's a little bit of a Mm-hmm You know like there's a little bit of a Well that Okay so

We have an exception Aliens That's also a romance genre And werewolves It's also a romance genre But I guess what I'm saying is that To bring it all the way back But we are anti-beciality

Except in the case of We'rewolves Technically a dog effort technically but I think maybe both I don't know the situation there's a carve out we're going to grandfather that in

if it's in the context of romance because we are talking about they can still speak English right these are fully conscious human beings people with a full conscious and free will the thing that makes bestiality

ethically unacceptable is the fact that the animals don't have any agency right which Jenna is trying to address by being a bottom. That's how it's solved. How do we get here?

How do we get here? Hey listen, the Bible says it's wrong. That's why I think it's wrong. Let's just keep it simple, okay? I did. Just keep it simple. To get us off of this topic. Yeah, sure.

I listen back to the voicemail that I sent you all, the voice note that I sent you, like, right after. Yeah, because I don't remember sending it, and I didn't save it. So I didn't listen to it until I listened to the episode that just came out. You don't remember that at all. No. Like, vague, I have a vague recollection of being, I have a vague recollection of being like, Laura, will you give my phone?

I have to tell right and link. Yep. Yeah, yeah. I guess you could have talked for longer then, now that I know that. I could have talked for a lot longer. And honestly, I have a story of, I know I do really well with anesthesia. I know I am a good time. But I vaguely remember this time when Laura and I were leaving the hospital and, like, they were wheeling me out.

And I was still under the effects of everything because it takes a while. Another time or this? This time. Okay. This time. And, you know, I'm having a good time. I'm laughing. I'm joking with everybody in the ER.

I'm like, I got a new knee. I got no problems whatsoever. And then they started. And like, I vaguely remember one of the nurses being like, oh, I wish everyone who came in was like her. Wow. And then Laura was just like, no, she's always like this. He's like, yeah, yeah, this has nothing to do with the anesthesia. This is nothing to do with the anesthesia.

She is just this way. So you cheered him up? I cheered everybody up. We had an amazing time. Because some people get aggressive. Yeah, yeah. And some people get sad. And then I'm just like, yes, absolutely.

That sounds great. And I know at one point I like said to the nurse, I was like, because they were like, does that make sense? And I was like, in my brain, yes, it makes sense. But I also am on drugs and will probably forget. And that's not that you didn't explain it well. That's why they write everything down and give it to you. They kept telling me after my thing.

It's like, by the way, we've written all this down. Yeah, I was just like. We have, why tell you all? Because in the moment you want to hear it, but you're not going to remember it. Oh, yeah, but everyone at the searcher center loves me. We have a good time. I go back and visit now, and I'm like, hi. I think the reason they do that is because you might remember that they told you something,

but you won't remember what it was, and then that gives you the impetus to read it. Whereas if they just say, everything you need to know is written. down and be like, oh, I'm not going to read that. But it's like, they said they told me something. What was it? Yeah. And you need some reassurance that just positive things are happening. Well, so you've made it through the worst of this and you were all facing, right?

Maybe not. What? You seem like you were thinking about it. I, well, it's not the worst of it is, I feel like, through the worst, through the biggest hurdle, yeah, yeah. Now it's just a matter of my patients for the physical therapy for the next seven to 10, 11 months. Oh, really? Depending on, although once again, I am my doctor's favorite patient and I am ahead of schedule and doing an amazing job. There you go.

Rhett and I are the same. We want to be the best patient possible. Well, speaking of facing difficult news, we have started to process the voicemails for many of you who are processing the news of the show winding down to an indefinite break at the end of the year. So we want to hear from a few of you. This is me doing an impression of Brett's heart. Bump Bump Bump Bop Bump Bop Bum Bhopham Bhopham Bhopham Bha Bha Bha Bha Bha Bha Bha Cipa Bha Bha Bha Bha Bha Bha Bha Yeah Not anymore Was that cruel?

With my old heart It was speeding up but it wasn't irregular enough It would do both But it would do both But it hasn't done either As far as I can tell As far as me and my watch You're still totally

On the up and up I think I have had a couple of times Where there's like What I would call one rogue beat Which is a common Occurrence based on the reading And you're still very sensitive to it. Well, no, the watch just doesn't tell you when it happens.

It just tells you how much it happens over the course of a week. It's just a percentage. And you get the message on Monday morning. Oh. But it'll just be like, I will be doing something completely unrelated, and I'll just feel like, but you can suddenly feel a heartbeat. You're not really supposed to feel a heartbeat without thinking about it. and then I would be like

oh that used to be the beginning of an episode and now it's just one beat and I don't know if that's just because the heart's still healing and even that will go away or if I will maybe have rogue beats here and there Rogue beats

Rogue beats sounds like a music library that you subscribe to yeah yeah it didn't seem like that listener was having too much of difficulty I know. Yeah, yeah, right.

Kind of turn it back on you. Let's hear another, though. After the big announcement, I found a good way to put together my feelings about your business defending. First of all, I am just thrilled that RET is okay, and that's like the biggest part of it. But it almost feels like when your grandfather that has Alzheimer's is put in the hospice, and you're like, oh, I have to grieve. but I'm not allowed to grieve yet. So we're just here for the good time, as long as it lasts.

A weird thing I could compare it to, but I absolutely love ear biscuits, and I can't wait to finish out the year with you guys. That's, and so we're not, we're going to remember less and less of it. It's going to be sadder and sadder. I mean, that's such a sad way to, it seemed like that helped her. That analogy helped her, but now it's, you do you, whatever is helpful. for you

I'm kind of having a wave of sadness now but that's okay that's part of it I think you're talking about the staggered goodbye element of this which we chose to do

yeah so that we could process it together a little bit maybe we're second guessing that now but at least we don't have Alzheimer's. No, I, I appreciate that, and I appreciate the, we haven't, I mean, we haven't really talked

about the comments and the, well-wishes the, I understand. Yeah. Yeah, it was, it was, it was very encouraging to, I mean, obviously people, a lot of people are disappointed, but I think that they understand the nature of the decision, so. it's been it's been encouraging yeah i appreciated the response and in people understanding and wishing the best for us and understanding what we what went they would they listened yeah you know and it wasn't just the reaction of well this is how this impacts me but you know we are open to how it how it impacts you and you can call us 1 888 ear pod

Let's hear another. And then I'll encourage people to call in about other things, too. Hi, Rett and Link. My name is Megan, and I live in Michigan. I've wanted to call for so long, but always thought I had the time to do it later. So I always put it off. I'm going to try to get through this without crying. Oh, no.

But with the news this morning, I have to tell you how much ear biscuits has meant to me. I've been a GMM viewer for over 10 years. and an earbiscuit listeners since you came back the first time. It has gotten me through so many sleepless nights and times of stress and car rides and boredom at work that I can't even imagine it, not in my life anymore. I knew this time would come eventually, but it's far too soon. And I'll, of course, always listen or re-listen and watch GMM, but I'm so sad not to get an update from you guys in this format every week.

I love you guys so much, and I'm so glad. you were putting your well-being first, even if it comes at the expense of my sadness. This is just another opportunity for me to grow and move on and let go. Thank you so, so much for everything you've done for me that you didn't even know you did. I love you guys. Whoa. Thank you for leaving that voicemail. I know that that was not easy to do, and it's very touching. I, of course, we didn't listen to that ahead of time.

We knew that there would be voicemails like this. So we're kind of reacting in the moment to it. Maybe we should have. Maybe we should have. But, yeah, it means a lot that the show means so much to so many listeners and that it's a source of comfort for people. I just don't, you know, and that's what made it difficult. This is the part of it that made it a difficult decision.

Because I think if you isolate our side of the experience and the stuff that we've talked about, it's a very clear decision. And then whenever the attention would go to, you know, the connections that are made. And that the resource that it is for for laughter and relief, that it starts, you know, it, there was this, there was a time when we were talking about it. It was like, well, that was the reason to keep doing it, you know, and I think that, I appreciate what she had to say that, you know, she'll, that. There is a way forward, you know. She doesn't have to, she can listen to older episodes and, you know, there's other ways to connect with what we're doing and we're pushing some personal stories to Good Mythical More and all the stuff that we said that we're doing. But yeah, it's a change and it's a big change.

And that's why we wanted to give the processing time because we feel like it's the right choice and we believe that and we want to encourage. listeners to make healthy choices for themselves. I think there was another caller who was asking for recommendations of other podcasts that would kind of check the boxes. I'm like, well, we don't really know. We don't really... Maybe in the comments on the YouTube video, that can be something that can be discussed. You guys can make recommendations or whatever.

But don't, you know, the more that we recommend things that you can easily replace us with, the more we won't feel is special. So we're not really incentivized to do that. No, we just don't, I don't listen to a lot of podcasts like this one. Yeah, I don't. So if I recommended the podcast that I listened to, they're not going to fill this particular need. Yeah, thanks for your message and for finally calling.

Yeah. You have another one. It has a couple pitches in it. Okay. Hey, Red Link. I'm Jordan from Tulsa, Oklahoma. I've been listening to Ear Biscuits for over a decade now, and I am sad to hear that it's going,

but I'm excited to hear that you guys are prioritizing your health and making the content that you want to make. I just wanted to pitch my idea of bringing back Thursdays means mail on Good Mythical More, but instead of mail, you can do voicemails. Let me know what your thoughts. Appreciate you guys. Bye-bye. Well, thanks for the idea.

Yeah, this is something that we have actually specifically talked about. So we're on the same wavelength here. I think what we probably will do, we're not committing to anything. But I think the only thing we're committing to is I think we will at least try out and see what it feels like to do a voicemail-based more. and then in terms of like how often are we going to do that? I don't know

I don't think we can commit to doing it every week but we thought about this specific idea of like bringing back bringing the voicemails over to GM more yeah I think that

we're thinking of Good Mythical More as being a container that's expanding a little bit to hold some of the things that normally we would send over here to the, to ear biscuits. But we also don't want to be too aggressive in like a re-format of Good Mythical More. We want it to be something that's more of an evolution and an expanding. So the container expands and we can try different things. That's what makes it engaging for us, seeing it that way, versus thinking it and thinking of it in terms of like rigid ways like announcing we're going to do Thursday means voicemail i don't think we're going to

go that far but we're looking for ways to continue to get the stories and the topics that we're interested in talking about into good mythical morning and i think you'll see that i Again, I don't know when it airs. When we shoot things, I never know when it's actually going to be a thing. Right. But we have a Good Mythical Moor coming up that is essentially the kind of story that you would have opened an earbiscuit with. Basically, that's the whole episode. And we want to do that.

There was actually, I'm just literally just throwing ideas out here that we've talked about. like there we actually have been having a conversation and we're not committing to this and i actually think we're definitely not committing to it we're like i don't think we're going to do it but there was talk of is there a way to when we do something on good mythical more that is very much in the spirit of what your biscuits was if those things are taken and exported audio only onto the iriscus feed so that the your biscuits feed remains somewhat active but i think that the issue with that is that it's not what your biscuits. We don't know how often it's going to happen and it's going to be a little bit confusing because it doesn't. Sometimes it'll be like, oh, today we are

looking at new barbecue chips, but Link happened to tell the story about something that happened to him. I think that one of the things that I envision is that there are people who want that kind of content who will be, maybe there might be a community that's like, oh, there was a very Ear Biscuitsy episode of Good Mythical More today. Maybe it's a playlist on YouTube or something like that. You know, I don't know, but... Right. Or maybe you just find that almost every episode of Good Mythical More

is kind of like an episode of Ear Biscuits in a lot of ways. You know, I think that there's obviously that we depart from it at times, and there's sometimes it's very visual, like we're looking at things or whatever. Mm-hmm. But I do think that the way we're thinking about it right now is it becomes the outlet for almost everything that took place here. And so I think once the outlet of Ear Biscuits goes away, we're still going to keep doing things that generate stories. And we're still going to keep having weird opinions about things that we want to talk about. And I think that they will slot naturally into Good Mythical Moor.

And it's just like, how does that, how does that net out? And then how satisfying is that to somebody who feels as strongly as the previous caller? Is it, you know, how do you make, how do you give them a similar experience? It's like, or how do they make a similar experience out of that? I don't know. That's a question to. Yeah, let's find out over time. See it unfold.

We do welcome you leaving your experience. voicemail if there's anything that you want to share with us try to keep it short I know people are calling in like and they start talking about what ear biscuits means to them and they're like I promise I'm to keep it short and then it's like a five-minute voicemail right which we appreciate but we just can't play it we it's hard it's hard to play those if it's if it's not succinct on the show also if there's anything else that you want Hey, we're still doing the show. This doesn't become like a morning M-O-U-R-N tour.

You know, it's not like we're turning this into like a, what would the term be when you're mourning the loss of something. Whatever it is. Yeah, it's not like a wake. So we welcome your challenge. and comedic voicemails as well. So give us a call, all right? 1-888-EarPod 1.

And we'll speak at you next week, all right? Hi, Renlink. I've been listening to your podcast every single episode for years and years now. And I will be continuing to listen to you guys on the other channels and Good Mythical more. But aside from that,

I wanted to leave a comment about Rhett's heart conditions. I have a little bit of a weird story. I am a teacher with a student who has a service dog who is trained to pick up on heart conditions. And that dog actually notified me that I was having a weird arrhythmia. So I went to the doctor and yada, yada, yada.

But I thought that was kind of an interesting story. Shout out skunk, the dog. who made me go get an EKG. Okay, love you guys. Bye.
