(upbeat music) – Welcome to Ear Biscuits, I’m Rhett. – And I’m Link. This week at the round table of dim lighting, we are asking the question, what are we most looking forward to in this, the year that is 2019. Two thousand and the nineteen. – Nope, don’t say two thousand nineteen. – Two thousand and nineteen. – We’ve left that behind. – Twenty one nine. You know, it’s so fresh. I’m so glad to be here experiencing 2019, to be in the middle of it. I don’t even remember 2018. It is such a distant memory that I can’t even access. I can’t even imagine being in 2018 and thinking about 2019. – I remember some things about it, like capping it off with an incredible holiday season. Got to spend it here in Los Angeles. – First time ever. – Didn’t have any, there was no interpersonal conflict between me and my family. – Me neither. – Yeah, there’s no arguments at all, the kids seem grateful for everything. – I’ll tell you the presents I’m gonna get in a little bit and they were perfect. Like things I didn’t know I wanted, I got, and they weren’t only for my benefit, but for the benefit of society. – Well this is probably a good time to tell you. – And the New Year’s Eve party? – I think this is a great time to tell you it’s still 2018 when we’re recording this, and we have not yet experienced any of the holiday festivities, but we’re basically just trying to make it seem like it went great. – Yeah so, in the next Ear Biscuit, I predict that we will record it in the New Year, and that we will talk about and give each other and you an update on how our 2018 wound down in terms of the holiday’s and the New Year’s. And I’m planning to go to Sedona, I’ma check out some Sedona. – Sedona, you don’t say. Sedona say. – By the time this comes out, I will be back from that, and then so the next recording, I’ll tell you all about it, and my gifts that I didn’t know would be so amazing, and New Year’s Eve, and all that jazz. – Well I’m going to Mexico. – That’s right, but you’re going on a romantic excursion. – I am, the children are being left alone at home to fend for themselves. You know, 10 and 14, I feel like that’s adequate. I mean back in the 1800s. – Are you serious? – Yeah, back in the 1800s, you could leave a four year old alone for months, and they fended for themselves. They learned how to hunt. We have Locke access to the car. He looks old enough to drive, and the grocery store is not too far from the house. He’s got a credit card, he’s gonna keep them fed. – I did believe you for a little bit. – You thought I was gonna leave my kids home alone? – You were very convincing. – Really? – I mean I thought we like expended all of our lies in the previous bit. – I got lies for days. – Well that’s true. – No, but the kids will be taken care of by a responsible adult, but they will not be with me, I’ll tell you that right now. – My compromise, my kids are gonna be with me, but we’re not doing the RV thing, which I don’t know if I’ll regret that. I’ll let you know. So anyway, we’re gonna give you an update on everything that’s happened, but for now, we are absolutely in the 2019 mindset. We’ve got some things that we’ve pulled together that we know are happening in the coming year that boy, when I start going through this list, I get excited. You know, I like having little, some of it’s like little silly frivolous things that I can just go ahead and put on my calender, with just like some asterisks. You know, just a little pop to your life, just a little something to look forward to. It could be a movie, it could be an album, it could be something personal, or something professional. We’ll get in to all that. – Yeah, we will get somewhat personal, but a lot of these things are things that you’re gonna have an opportunity to enjoy yourself, if you have access to an internet connection and you’re not living under a rock. You’ll be able to enjoy these things as well. Do you want to go ahead and talk about some of them? Right now? – Yeah, yeah let’s get into it. Yeah I think an easy category to start with is movies. I have this, let’s see what is this. I have an app called Flixster? – I got that app too, powered by Rotten Tomatoes. – Not a sponsor, but it gives all the ratings in there, but it also tells you when new movies are coming out, and you can scroll, sometimes you can scroll like months and months and months in advance, and boy did I find a gem in there. – Well first of all, before we get into the specific movies, I know a lot of people have, you know, there’s a not insignificant percentage of people who when you talk about, when you start talking about movies and what you’re gonna see, and it has been reviewed, then you’re like ah, it didn’t get great reviews. It’s only got a so and so on Rotten Tomatoes, and then they’re like I don’t really go by that. I go by it, but there’s not an, there’s not a small percentage of people who just ignore what Rotten Tomatoes says, as if Rotten Tomatoes is one thing. Rotten Tomatoes is by definition an aggregate score of both critics, and then separately, fans. – And so submitting yourself to it, drastically increases your chances of seeing a good movie. Feldman, you’re upset about this because you like to think of yourself as like an opinionated artist. – That’s why I brought this up. – Who doesn’t want, it’s a betting game that you’ll win, but what will happen is yeah, you’re an individual. – Well you know why you can play that game? You know why you can play that game? ‘Cause you don’t have children, man. If you have children, you can’t risk that. – You also don’t have taste. Just kidding. – You can’t risk. – That’s a joke. A big part of your job is taste. – No no, no, no, the reason I’m explaining it is because the people who have told me they don’t go by Rotten Tomatoes, talked to me as if Rotten Tomatoes is just a guy named Rotten Tomatoes. Yeah, if like A.O. Scott was the only person, shout out to a film critic that I can think of, and it might not even be right. If he was the only one that was on there, I’m not gonna go by one critic’s recommendation, but it’s an aggregate. And even though I do also do the same things with restaurants and Yelp, and then people are like, but yeah, people can beat the system on Yelp. Yes they can, and it happens occasionally, but as a general rule, if there’s a large number of reviews, it’s a pretty accurate predictor of what kind of experience you’re gonna have at a restaurant. There’s a reason that these apps exist. This is not an ad for an app, Flixster, or Rotten Tomatoes, is just you know, I think we’re of the same school of thought here. I’m not gonna waste my time if it’s not certified fresh. – I mean I didn’t provoke the rant. I don’t know who you’ve been talking to. Feldman was just looking the other way and we interpret that as need a rant fired at him. – Rant cannon on. – Star Wars Episode X is coming out. You know that will be, I believe that’s towards the end of the year. Here’s the thing, I don’t know because I try to know so little because I want to experience it with not, without being influenced by anything, so Episode Nine. – But do you like to know at what point in the story it comes? – Well I’ve seen the other ones. So I mean all I want to know is what I know from seeing the other ones. Which yeah, I’ll watch them again. What’s the Kylo and Rey situation, what are they up to? They making babies yet? Hope they’re not related and making babies. – I’ll definitely see it. – Will Darth Vader come back as a ghost? – I’m not, you know, I’m just, I enjoy the films. I you know, I had a tradition of taking like my whole family back in North Carolina when I was at home for Christmas, back when they were coming out every Christmas. You couldn’t get away from them. I would take everybody to the movie, but, I don’t know, I just can’t say that I’m particularity excited about it. – I am, I really liked the last one. I’m not too picky. I’m just happy when it’s done well. So I’m not gonna mention that Solo movie. – Oh, so you’re extracting Solo out of the, you’re saying it’s like a blip on the radar, and you’re unblipping it. – Yeah, don’t even hear it. – I’ll tell you what I am excited about, is. – But I’m not watching any, my final point is that I’m not watching or listening, no trailers. If I’m watching another movie and the trailer for Star Wars comes on, I am literally going to close up every orifice. Like I’m gonna go into a tornado drill type situation. At least, I like, that’s what keeps it special for me. And my family, they’ll probably have to see them and they’ll get all excited. I like, we still get very excited about it. – They don’t abide by the same principle. – They can’t resist, they get mad at me ’cause they want to tell me about it, they get mad ’cause I’m like (random noises). – The movie I’m most excited about but I’m also a little bit apprehensive about, I’m anxious about it, is Jordan Peele’s movie, Us. This is, you could call it a follow up to Get Out. – You shouldn’t. – But here’s the thing. – It has nothing to do with it except that he’s making it, right? – Well, it has, what it has to do with it, it is another horror movie that plays into, is a commentary on racial issues. – Oh it is? – Yeah, so first of all, that’s what made Get Out so great, right? Everything about Get Out made Get Out great, A, the fact that it was completely unexpected. It’s like what is this guy from a comedic duo suddenly doing making a movie? It would be like one of us making a movie that was good, that’s not going to happen. – Speak for yourself. And you can’t recreate that part of it. – That unexpected huge success, 30 million dollar opening weekend, 100 million plus dollars gross is like, he set such a high bar, that that’s a difficult thing, but it also means he can write his own check at this point. But anyway, the thing that made it great was, if you haven’t seen it please, even if you’re a person that’s like I don’t like horror movies. I don’t like them, I don’t like that. I don’t understand why anyone would want to be purposely like, around that negative energy, like why would you submit yourself to something that kind of thing? Because it just makes me feel triggered and I don’t want to watch it. – Especially if it’s highly rated on Rotten Tomato. That guy means nothing to me. – If Rotten Tomato said that it was good, then my experience is that he’s wrong and it’s bad, so I’m not going to see it. It’s alright, 2019 is the new Rhett. Even meaner than 2018. – And we’re not even actually in it. That’s scary. – I’m just ramping up for it. Go see it, you’re not gonna get hurt. It’s a movie. It’s not even smell-o-vision yet. It’s not even one of those rides at Disneyland where all of a sudden you get sprinkled with water. That doesn’t happen. It’s just, you’re in a seat, it’s a screen, it’s just images. It’s not gonna hurt you. – I wonder if the Twilight Zone movie, which I don’t know if he’s directing or he’s producing? He was producing a number of movies that I think are coming out this year as well, so he’s got this backlog. They were talking, there was one, maybe it was Us, then it was the Twilight Zone, so I don’t know which one comes out first. – But well, I’m sorry, I keep getting sidetracked. But it was so unexpected, it was so good, it was so legitimately scary, suspenseful, it was well acted, all the performances was great. – Us can’t be as good. The surprise element’s gone. – It was funny, and. – I hope it is but it doesn’t have to be. – It was this very timely brilliant commentary on racial issues that, it was a commentary on racism in this fresh unexpected way that actually sort of highlighted the racism of white people who don’t realize that they’re racist. Right? – Everyone’s seen the movie. – No, but what I’m saying is, I’m just pointing out the fact, why it was so brilliant, because it wasn’t that it was just so unexpected and so great in so many ways, and then he said that he has always wanted to, for a very long period of time, had in his mind a way to explore those kinds of social issues through horror. And that he had a bunch of ideas lined up, and Us was the next one he had lined up. Let me just give you a few details, because I want you to get excited about this. – Oh I’m excited. I’m afraid, I’m actually trying to lower the bar and say success is 75% of Get Out. – It’s coming out March 2019. It centers around two couples, one black and one white. The black couple is played by Winston Duke from, he played M’Baku in Black Panther and Lupita Nyong’o is the woman in that couple. And the white couple is Elisabeth Moss. – Oh, she is so white. – And speaking of white, Tim Heidecker. – Heidecker, he’s white too. – Tim Heidecker of Tim and Eric. He plays the boyfriend or husband, I don’t know the. – I’d forgotten this, and that’s amazing. I mean he took a dramatic turn in a movie that I didn’t see that I read about, I can’t remember what it’s called. – We stood in a very tight alley with Tim Heidecker one time for the Mythical Show. Remember that tight alley? – Yeah that was, they really slathered on the awkwardness, and I could barely take it, but I didn’t crumble. The Comedy was the name of Tim’s movie, which was ironically titled. – And not only that, Duke Nickleson, is Jack Nickleson’s 22 year old grandson, is making his acting debut in this movie. – What? – Yeah, Jack Nickleson’s grandson man. – Duke Nickleson’s a great name. – If you can’t get excited about this. – Sounds like an inventor, like a Ron Popuo kind of guy. Like, and now, another vegetable cutting device from the mind of Duke Nickleson. It’s also an actor. – Well anyway, I’m super excited about it. I do realize that, and I do agree with you that the chances that, it can’t, it just can’t be. If it was as good as Get Out, the argument is this. The argument for those of you who care about this. I heard this, I heard Michael Rapport make this argument about why Lebron can never be as good as Jordan. – Okay. – And that is because Michael Jordan changed the game so significantly, that no one else, unless they’re from a different planet, can change the game in the way that Jordan did, so he literally changed everything about the game. All of a sudden, people had their own shoe, and people had their own brand, and he played completely differently. Like he introduced things that seemed other worldly to the game that Lebron could only add on to. So in a one on one match, sure maybe Lebron would beat Jordan, we don’t know. But he can’t. – I think we do know, but. – The stage was set for Jordan to come and make, talking about another Jordan, I didn’t even mean to say that. Jordan Peele to make this movie in a way that he can’t replicate, like you said, the unexpected success. So now it’s just like is it going to be as good? So it actually stands a great chance to be a better movie, but it has to be twice as good, which is impossible, right? In order to be actually better. – I think about the M. Night Shyamalan Sixth Sense being followed up by Unbreakable, which I really like Unbreakable. You know, it was kind of a shame, ’cause I really liked it, for it to come out after Sixth Sense, which I haven’t seen. – You’re joking right? Hold on, you haven’t seen Sixth Sense? You’re joking, that’s a joke. I know you haven’t seen a lot of movies but you’ve seen Sixth Sense. – I missed that one. – You missed that one? – It was kind of a Blair Witch kind of situation. – No it wasn’t. – Yeah. – What do you mean by that? – I don’t know why I didn’t see it. I saw Unbreakable though. I tried to catch up by seeing the next one and I really liked it. ‘Cause you know why I really liked it? ‘Cause I hadn’t seen Sixth Sense. – But Sixth Sense didn’t fall in that weird 80s time when you were in a weird situation, and I don’t understand what was happening. – I think I was the person you were making fun of, it’s like this doesn’t seem like, this seems like a spooky movie, I don’t like those kinds of movies. – How did I see it? What year did Sixth Sense come out, like 98? – Anyway, I think the advice is if you haven’t seen Get Out, don’t see it before seeing Us. Watch Us first and love it, and then go back and watch Get Out second. That’s what you need to do. That’s it. Alright, we’re gonna get, I got another movie that I’m super super excited about, is happening, and then we’ll move on to some other stuff. – But first we want to let you know if you didn’t already see it, there’s a mug on the table that says Ear Biscuits on it. This is the new Ear Biscuits mug. It’s no longer a jar, now it’s a mug. It has a handle, for those of you who complained about not having something to hold on to other than your loved one, and even especially if you don’t have a loved one this 2019 to hold on to, well you can hold on to our mug. It feels, it’s not as soft as a person, not as warm as a body, but well actually holds less water, but it’s cheaper. It’s cheaper than like a subscription to a dating service that would potentially find a mate. – And you can get a set of three. There’s this, there’s the L tent mug, and the brand new Good Mythical Morning official mug. They work all three together. They play very well together for the first time. – You can pour water or any liquid from one mug to the next and then back. It’s a little bit like a magic trip. – Go to Mythical.Store, support entertainment and rep the stuff that you love, especially if it’s us. – Rep your boys. I thought that was your line. – Rep your boys. Well let me tell you about this. First of all, I’m not, I’m just gonna say this very quickly that at the end of July, the new Tarantino film, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood comes out. You just can’t ignore this movie because it’s got Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Margot Robbie, Margot Robbie, Al Pacino, the late Burt Reynolds, and. – How did they do that? – CGI. No they shot the film before he died. And drum roll please, Duke Nickleson, Luke Perry. – Luke Perry? – Sideburns. – Wow we saw him in Mel’s Diner right when we came to Hollywood and thought we were. – We were meeting with a potential manager. – This is what Hollywood is. – I’m a Hollywood manager, meet me at the, meet me at the Mel’s Diner, I can be your manager. And we go in there and we sit down and he’s like hey, I can be your manager. You got some talent, you got some talent boys. We looked over his shoulder, he did not become our manager, so I’m not making fun of, we don’t have a manager. – ‘Cause we don’t need one man. – Look over the shoulder, and there’s Luke Perry. We’re like dang, we’re at the wrong table. – Yeah, we want Luke Perry to be our manager. I am excited about that. I know Tarantino’s a little controversial, but this is supposed to be one of his most Pulp Fiction like movies since Pulp Fiction. – Centered on the cultural backdrop of the Charles Manson Tate Labianca murders. We’ll see. Bruce Lee is in the movie. – It’s also controversial because. – How is Bruce Lee, I mean someone’s playing Bruce Lee in the movie. – Yeah, why not. It’s controversial because it centers around the Manson murders. And some of the family members are saying you can’t make a movie about that, which I don’t. – Who knows. Who knows what he’s going to do, but he’s hard to ignore. I know, you know. – That’s what I don’t understand. We make movies about historical murders all the time. – We should mention, I mean we should mention It, chapter two comes out. – I want to mention it, yeah, I’m excited. It was my other. – And then I’ve got one more. – Actually It and Get Out were two of my favorite movies of 2018, and watched both, like Locke and I have kind of become horror movie buddies and we went to see It and Get Out together. And again, the balance of horror with comedy. – It was brilliant. – The way that they. – I thought it was brilliant. – And I know a lot of people said that they weren’t scared by Pennywise, and again, I don’t understand. Check your pulse man. But I thought it was great and it was, as we’ve already discussed on the podcast, not even comparable to the original. The original sucked compared to the new one. Don’t even get me started on that. And let me give you a couple of a, let me give you a couple of tidbits. Now first of all, in the book, in the book It, written by Steven King, they kind of go between the original you know. – Band of kids. – 1989, when they were kids, and then is it 27 years later in 2016 is when it. Well in the book it was 26 or 27 years between the two time periods and whatever, and when he wrote it. But anyways, the modern day 2016 is when it’s supposed to take place, but they’re going back and kind of accessing memories, and so you’re seeing the kids from the original movie, but then all the kids grown up played by James McAvoy. – Well hold on, you just said that. You kind of mixed the two. In the book, it’s presented as a flashback, but in the movie, it was just presented as kids, and then at the end, there’s kind of like okay, now they’re gonna get older, and so now we know in this second movie, it’s them coming back as adults and then, but we know that there’s flashbacks because. – Nick Hamilton. – Is that, that’s the bully? – Yes. – Who’s a mythical beast? – Nick Hamilton, fan of the show, mythical beast, Australian, played the bully. Just the complete just horribly awesomely horrible guy in It. He’s reached out to us, and we were gonna actually spend some time with him when we went to Australia, but he was. – In Melbourne. – He was filming It 2, It Chapter Two, and he couldn’t be there, so we know he’s in it. Hopefully he doesn’t get cut. No but Nick’s a great guy, we hope to actually meet him at some point, maybe have him on the show. – You say he’s a great guy. – He is because he. – ‘Cause he likes us? – Yeah, yeah, he’s got great taste. That usually translates to great character. – And his Twitter messages were very amicable, so that’s enough for us to believe he’s a good guy. I do believe he is. – In order to play a character that evil that well, I think you actually have to be very good, morally, as a person. Anyway, the grown ups in the movie, the grown up kids played by James McAvoy, Jessica Chastain, Jay Ryan, Bill Hader, Bill Hader’s in it. Isaiah Mustafa, the Old Spice guy is in it. – I met him in a sport’s attic, or some sort of shop that sells shoes. – And talked to him. – Talked to him about shoes I think. – Oh, just about shoes. You didn’t say, you’re not on a horse, or anything like that? – We’ve met both Old Spice men. Met Terry Crews. – Met Terry Crews. – As well. – James Ransone and Andy Bean. Anyway, I am super excited about it. Again, it’s the kind of thing that. – I’ll definitely see that. – It’s difficult to imagine it being as good as the first one. – It’s easier. – But it is easier. It’s the second half of a story, it’s a second half of a story. – Right. – I already said it man, I said it was horrible. I said that the 1990 version was horrible. It’s not even watchable, it’s garbage. – Let me tell you, speaking of not garbage. Speaking of amazing news, this year, Tyler Perry’s A Madea Family Funeral is out. This is the last and it will be the 10th Madea movie. I was gonna get you to guess, but then I forgot. Would you have guessed the 10th Madea movie? – I would of said the 15th. – Really? – I definitely would of said double digits, definitely. – I was surprised. So it’s the 10th and he said that it is the last one. I don’t know if she dies, but I do know I’m not gonna see it. I’m just gonna be very, I’m really looking forward to it coming out though. It’s just like he needs to put it to bed. – Have you ever watched one? – I haven’t, maybe that’s the problem. You know what we need to do. – A marathon. – We need to catch up, we need to catch up so we can get on the Madea train. – Let’s watch nine movies in one sitting and just wear like bags that we pee in. – Hold on. – Like literally not get up the whole time. – Hold on, I’m legitimately getting excited about this so watch out. I think that we should. – Rhett and Link’s Madea marathon. – We should watch every, we should make it into an event where we watch all nine, oh my gosh, this is crazy. – Hold on, but seriously, we cannot get up. – No I’m not doing that. – You have to pee into a stadium, the bag. – No, I’m not. – You have to put on the external catheter. – I don’t want to do anything that’s gonna cause lasting physical damage. – One of the things I was gonna tell you about, I was gonna save it for my personal section, but I’ll go ahead and say it. I’m thinking about wearing one to work in 2019, because I keep having to get up from meetings to pee. I’m having to pee more often as I get older, and so I was just like I’m gonna wear the fricking thing that I can just pee right into a bag. – I feel like this idea makes it worse. But let’s have a constructive brainstorming moment here. And hashtag Ear Biscuits. Let us know, I mean I think this is, can be a seminal mythical moment in 2019, leading up to the Madea premier, which we are going to attend in person. We will come straight from having watched all nine. Like how, all nine back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back. – That’s got to be at least 18 hours. – Yes, and we’re going to be sleep deprived, we’re going to be nutty. And you apparently will have stayed in one place. That’s fine for you man. Like live your world. – I’m not gonna crap in a bag. I’ll get up for that. – Let’s not leave this. Let’s leave it for now but let’s not leave this idea, okay? We’re gonna catch up. – Okay, but Tyler Perry has to acknowledged this though. I’m not doing it if he doesn’t acknowledge it. – It’s not that I’m happy that it’s over, I was just making a joke at the Madea series’s expense, but it’s really that I’ve never watched any of them, so why would I start with the 10th one? And we’re gonna solve that. – I’ve watched bits and pieces of the ones that have been on television, and I always find them funny. You have to go into a certain mode, and sort of say that this is the type of comedy, you know. – There’s a reason why he’s made 10. – Yeah, and once you kind of say, this is not supposed to be some like, super. – Art house. – Sophisticated, this is low hanging fruit humor man, and it’s really funny. – Okay. – It’s almost sophisticated in how broad it is, you know? – Speaking of catch up, let’s move to television, and I’m just gonna throw out two things here. Stranger Things 3 is coming out. – Excited about that. – I never watched all of season two. – Oh well, that says something about how excited you are about season three. – My family left me in the dust, and I never went back. So I got to go back and watch season two I think before I can watch season three, but maybe not. Be like oh that person’s still here, not dead, okay. – Just watch the recap man. Just watch the season recap. – Speaking of catch up, I do have one more. – Okay, I’ve got a TV show I’m very excited about, but go ahead. – Game of Thrones, they have announced that probably beginning March, April, probably be more specific by the time this comes out, season eight, which is the final season. The final six episodes of Game of Thrones are coming out. That’s pretty huge. I mean that’s, I mean that’s like a cultural phenomenon coming to a close. And I just checked before I came in here, ’cause I don’t know where I’m at in the series, and I’m on episode two of season five. So I think I’m in trouble here because once, there’s no way I can catch up before they start to come out. And that’s really what you need to do, because at the rate I’m going, it’ll be like another year from now, and I’ll finally be at the very earliest, I’ll be caught up. I mean it was this time last year that I started season one, I went through five seasons, so it took me a whole year. – I’m in it. I’m only like season three. – You basically gave, you’re done. You’re never gonna go back to it. I read all the books, and that made it a very satisfying experience for me to watch what I’ve watched. But my point is, once it’s done and it’s all in the can, I don’t think I’ll be motivated to keep watching. I would love to be able to catch up and then be a part of then cultural conversation. I just don’t think I can do it unless it’s all I do and I’ll make use of that pee bag you’re talking about. – There’s no way you can catch up in time, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t eventually watch it. – I just don’t think practically I will. – You’ll get too it. If you’re still going at a snail’s pace right now, it will never end. – But there’s a motivation, when there’s still fresh episodes coming out, it’s a motivation to keep trying to catch up. Is this a personality thing with me? – Yeah, this is a flaw. No, to me, this is the same argument I got into with my son about watching recorded sports events. And so I would say don’t tell me the score, and don’t watch it, and don’t look on the internet, because when we get home, we’re gonna watch said game. – What if it’s the Super Bowl though? I mean. – Super Bowl’s a different thing because I’m not interested, I don’t care about the results of the Super Bowl. I just watch the Super Bowl because it’s a cultural phenomenon. But I’m saying like if it’s a NC State game. – But what if you did? I think it needs to be the Super Bowl plus you cared about the results, because that really, that captures more of the cultural phenomenon of how they’re going to end this whole thing. How they’re going to wrap it up. – If you’re talking about the inevitability of it being spoiled for you by being a part of conversations in Los Angeles, that’s a different thing. But I’m talking about that’s not what you said. What you said was that you’re looking for motivation, and knowing that it was still going gave you motivation, which is again, back to my argument. ‘Cause my son said he didn’t want to watch the game because it had already happened. And I was like well technically, what you’re seeing on screen has already happened. There’s a very small delay. Does that mean that just because you’re not there? But the experience is still the same. – It’s not the same because you factor in the cultural component of even if it’s just talking with one person about it. Remember that game that you watched two weeks ago, I watched it today, let’s talk about it. I don’t really want to talk about it. – So maybe you got a point. Because let’s say I saved. – Maybe, yeah. – Like a state Carolina game, what if I decided to skip watching like a state Carolina game, which is a game that I care about the outcome of, and I skipped the one in 2019, one of their games in 2019, and I save it for like 2023. At that point, I’m not invested because it has no impact on current proceedings of the season and the standings, and there’s different players. So maybe that makes sense. – I watched Mad Men totally late, and it was one of my favorite shows. – It’s a story though. – But I missed out on an added component that I think. – The social component. – But I did get through Mad Men. – But didn’t you want to see the end of the story? – But yes. – So that’s different. – And then for, but I’ll never watch the Sopranos. So I don’t know, it kind of goes both ways. – No, you might. – I won’t. I will never watch, I tried, I started. I have no one to talk about this to help keep me going. – Well what if I started watching it. Soprano’s buddy’s. – Is that our thing, you and me? The Soprano’s? – Like when we’re in a retirement center, you know what I’m saying? I’m talking like when we got a lot of time, you’re gonna be looking for stuff to binge, man. – It’s gonna feel like watching a silent film at that point, if I live as long as I hope to live. – TV that I am incredibly excited about, we have a fun little story about this one. So you may remember, I’ve talked about it before, I’ve talked about it on the internet. 2014 movie called What We Do in the Shadows, which was, it had Jemaine Clement from Flight of the Concords and Taika Waititi, New Zealand based director who directed Thor, that’s what he’s known for, but he did a lot of amazing work before that, continues to do incredible stuff. They were actually both, they created and starred in this movie, which was a vampire mocumentary, which was just, and I remember tweeting about how when I watched it, it was my favorite movie of 2014 so far, maybe my favorite movie of 2014. And again it was one of those things that’s just like, first of all, these guys are funny. I find everything that sort of loose group of New Zealanders do. – Kiwis. – Those Kiwis are incredibly funny. Like I love their sense of humor. – Yeah, it’s a specific dryness. It’s the friendly dryness. It’s like. – And I just. – Take a British dryness but then you make it happy. – It’s one of those things where every once in while you like see guys who are doing something and you kind of know that they work together and they are friends, and I’m just like man, I would like to be friends with those guys. – The movie had a very labor of love quality, and I know that all the sketches and things they, one of them did themselves, and was just this very unnecessary, but very labor of love. – And it was just hilarious, and it was not something. It was a mocumentary. It’s like, who would of thought, you can’t do those anymore. They’re done. Mocumentaries are done. All played out, no, it wasn’t, it was incredibly funny, and they are bringing that movie back to life as a television show on FX, that premiers spring of this year, 2019. Now, there’s a few things that are different. First of all, Jemaine and Taika are involved. In fact, the way we found out about this before it was public, was we actually met a PR rep from FX, who I was like, we were talking about FX and how much we love FX and all the shows on there and she said well, have you heard of What We Do in the Shadows? I was like yes, she’s like it’s gonna be a television show. And the inside information that I got at the time which is probably public at this point, is that Taika was directing and Jemaine was showrunning. So basically they are very involved creatively. But, a few things to note. It’s not the same group of people. It’s a different time, different place. – Are there shadows? – It’s still very shadowy. – Are there vampires? – I believe so. Takes place in New York, specifically Staten Island and other boroughs. – Okay. – Why do you need other boroughs if you got Staten Island. All new lead characters, so nobody from the movie, not just actors, but I think it’s actually different characters was my understanding of that. So Paul Sims, who’s the guy who collaborated with Flight of the Concords for their television show who also is a producer on Atlanta, is producing it. So we’re talking about a dude who. Just the people involved are so talented that it just feels like it has to work, it has to be great. Doug Jones, who played the amphibian man in the Shape of Water, he’s one of the actors in it. – Oh really. – I don’t know if he plays an amphibian, I think he’s got a range. I think he can do not amphibious work. Anyway, sometime in 2019, that is the television that I am extremely excited about. – And I’ll be catching up. I’ll just be over here doing my catch up. Shall we shift to music? – We shall shift. – There’s not a place, there’s not a repository on the internet that has a reliable, these are albums that are coming out. There’s like a wiki entry, but it’s very. – It’s too comprehensive to be useful. – Well the first thing is it’s not related to the new album coming out, ’cause that’s the thing that I looked at, and you know, I didn’t find anything specifically I was too excited about, honestly. – Okay, I got something that’s notable, but, I’ll get to it. – Rolling Stones, they’re doing a tour. How do I know about this, am I a huge Rolling Stones fan, no. I really like the album Tattoo You, specifically the B side, I’m Just Waiting on a Friend, Slave. – And the reason you like that is because I happened to order it on BMG. – Way back in the day, I don’t know why that’s the Rolling Stone album you got. – I’m glad it was, because I’ve listened to. – We loved it. – To me that was their sweet spot of that like funk rock that they were doing that I don’t know what the BPM’s were, but they’re a little bit slower. – Well there was the one big hit on it. Can’t remember which one it was, but it wasn’t Satisfaction but it was basically like the one that if you don’t know the Rolling Stones, you still know it. – I think it’s the first song on the album, which I again, I usually listen to the B side as well. – But I’m going to their show at the Rose Bowl because Britton texted me and he was like, Rolling Stones, coming to the Rose Bowl. Let’s do it. I’m like, I don’t want to be a fart on a log and so I just sat on the text a little bit, and then I’m like, well when is it? And yeah. – Start me up. – And then I’m like yeah let’s do it. Now I’m excited about it. – Well, let me give you a couple of pointers, having been to a show at the Rose Bowl, and a very similar situation when Mike Edwards came into town, and he’s a big U2 fan. I’m not not a U2 fan, I understand and appreciate what they’ve done and there’s some songs that I like, but I’m not like, you know. – Do I need to listen to the Rolling Stones and really become like a super fan? ‘Cause I can do that. – Well what I was going to say is you need to talk to some people and try to get down in the little area next to the stage, which. – What do you mean? – You now, you pull some strings. You talk to some ticket vendors (mumbling). – Oh, like say I’m internet famous and get like a backstage pass. – Well you’re not gonna get a backstage pass. – Not to the Rolling Stones. – Mick Jagger’s not gonna let you in within 100 feet of him. But I’m saying you can get into the VIP area and be, at the U2 concert, I was like right next to the little keystone thing that Bono comes out on. – Did you do that instead of getting a seat? – I already had tickets. – I already have tickets. – And then I was like you know what I should do, I should figure out if I can get some (mumbling). Well first of all. – Well maybe I shouldn’t have gotten. – No no, first of all, when you call who you need to call in order to try to get the thing we’re talking about. You got to talk like this. You got to make them think they’re not actually doing anything for you, and it usually works, and you can get great seats. And you’ll be standing. You can get Mick Jagger sweat on your face, never wash again. But here’s the other thing. Do not drive. Do not drive. – Okay, alright. – Do not drive to the Rose Bowl. – This is getting titillating isn’t it? Don’t drive to the Rose Bowl. – Because you know how long Mike and I stayed in my car after the U2 concert waiting to leave? – An hour. – 90 minutes before we moved. So unless you got a book on tape or you just want to go deep in a conversation with Britton, you need to get a helicopter, you know. Call up the people and get a helicopter, right into (mumbling). – So let me get this straight. When the show was over, you went right back to the car and then you started it up, but you couldn’t get no satisfaction. – Yeah, motion. Music I’m not excited about but I know a lot of people are. There are four albums coming out from bands that some of you may like. – Tesla? – First of all, Tesla is a band, not just a brand. Megadeath, Skid Row, and Whitesnake. Hair metal bands all just deciding 2019 is the year of hair metal. It’s back. It’s as bad as ever. – Something about their age and their fans, their sweet spot in their fans age, it’s got to have something to do with that. It doesn’t have anything to do with me, I will say that. – Yeah, I will not be partaking. – Unless Britton drags me to some of that too, I don’t know. I don’t think he’s into that. – It’s funny because, this is not, I mean first of all, there are people who would be like, you know, you can’t put Megadeath and Whitesnake in the same category. I understand that there’s probably, that’s probably faux pox for metal heads. But I just don’t know anything about it, and I don’t have any desire to. But I appreciate again. – Here’s something you’re gonna appreciate. – If they came down to the Rose Bowl, I’m not gonna go down to the VIP section (mumbling). – You would, no you wouldn’t. I would not, but here’s one. New album coming out from Hootie and the Blowfish. Hootie and the Blowfish. Hootie teamed back up with the blowfish. You know, he had a, he was country. – He still is country. – I know his name is Darius Rucker but he’s always gonna be Hootie to me, and he never was to anybody officially, but he’s teaming back up with his people. – Did you know. – With the blowfish. – Did you know that Darius Rucker did a song with Lionel? Did you did that Lionel did an album called Tuskegee? – Yeah. – That was a collaboration with a bunch of country artists in 2016. – I don’t listen to Lionel now, I listened to the Lionel that was the sweet, sweet spot Lionel. – He does a duet with Rascal Flatts too on that, which was, that wasn’t one of my favorite songs, but you know, when people like Lionel do things in the present day, sometimes it has, especially when they’re collaborating with country stars, the polish, it’s over polished to the point that you feel like it loses a little bit of soul. But there’s some, there’s some really really good songs. In fact. – You’re showing your dadness. – No, what does he do? – There’s nothing legit about this. – Hold on, you haven’t listened to it. You can’t judge it man. – I’m saying, I’m sure it’s great. – What does he do with Darius Rucker. What song does he do with Darius? – What you’re telling me is you’re going to the Hootie and the Blowfish, you know, you’re waiting in line for their album to come out. It all goes together. – So yeah, they did Stuck on You together, and the harmonies are great. – I’m sure it’s great. – Dude you need to listen to it. – It’s just not relevant. – Why do I care about that? – Okay. – I care about what sticks to my soul, man, and Lionel and Darius Rucker singing Stuck on You sticks to my soul. – I don’t like artists covering their own material decades later, period, period. Easy like Sunday Morning, leave it on that Sunday morning. Don’t give me that updated version. You know, it just doesn’t work, there’s a sadness to it. Even if it sounds great, I’m like I’m relieved that Lionel’s duet with Hootie sounds good, and I think he’s still got it, but I don’t want him to cover his old songs 20 years later. And here’s the thing that I hated, with streaming music they can still sneak it in there, but I think the industry doesn’t allow for it as much anymore. I hope I’m right about this, because it, when an act will release an album of their greatest hits, but they’ve covered so their own songs, so it’s something about how they can make money off of it, but it’s the artist covering their own song decades later. – That’s different, that’s a different category. That’s different. – I hate that. – I hate that as well, but that’s different. – But then people are like, let me listen to like, oh you like Lionel, let me listen to some Lionel. And they’re going on Spotify and they’re listening to like 2016 Lionel with Hootie. And they get a totally wrong impression of how amazing it is. – But do you know who Lionel sings Easy with on the album? – Alabama. – Willie Nelson, man. – Well okay. Willie Nelson is an exception. – But hold on, that’s different though. – Oh my gosh, I just realized I had a dream about Willie Nelson last night. It was you and me, we were sitting somewhere like on bleachers, I was sitting here, you were on my left, and I was looking at you, and then I leaned forward. And who was there? – Easy like Sunday morning. – Willie Nelson, Willie Nelson was like just on the other side of the, I could of reached out and touched him if you weren’t in the way. And you know what, you know what I did? I leaned over into your ear and I said, he’s a good looking man. Still got it. – Well, that’s not what he’s known for. – I mean he’s really held up well, those are the three things I’ve said. – He got old early, that’s why he held up well. He looked old at 30. That’s the great thing about getting old early. – I’m not saying he’s attractive, I’m saying he looks good. – He sounds good because he also sounded old early, just like Chris Christofferson. If you sound old early, you can sound great forever. – It was thrilling to be that close to you Mr. Nelson, in a dream. And the reason why I had the dream was ’cause we have a urinal on the other side, and when you’re peeing in that urinal, right above that urinal. – That’s my picture. – There’s a portrait of Willie Nelson staring you right in the face. – My wife got me that and I didn’t have a place to put it up inside. – Your house. – My house, because she was thinking that we would put it up in the office, and then she just put it up over one of the urinals. – I mean. – I don’t mind, Willie watching me pee. – Nothing makes me relax my prostate like staring deep into the eye holes of Willie Nelson. – Willie can watch me and my willy anytime. – Willie. – Let’s move on to technology, why don’t we? – Let’s do it. Tesla. – 5G is coming. – What does this mean? I’ve heard about this, I’m like, you know. – And I’m not talking about when you’re on your wifi, and it’s like there’s a 5G option, that’s bullcrap man. – Just like you got two different bands on your router, and no one ever tells you which one you’re supposed to connect to. – 5G is the fifth generation. – You’re making me angry. I think you’re just really, you’ve peed in my. – Peed in your grits? – In my cornflakes. Some of your cornflake has gotten in my bowl. – 5G is the fifth generation of wireless technology. Okay so, obviously you remember 3G, and then it turned into 4G slash LTE, and you remember the jump? You probably don’t. But if you don’t remember the jump from 3G to 4G, it basically went from forget about ever watching video on your phone to, oh, I’m watching video on my phone. And you forget that, and sometimes if you’re out and about, which is definitely the case in Los Angeles, because of the mountains and the weirdness, you can suddenly find yourself in a 3G spot, and it’s almost, you don’t even have a phone anymore. I mean you might be able to text, you can have a conversation, but you’re not gonna use any data. – You only have what used to be a phone. – Right. The step from 4G to 5G will be as significant or more significant. – So what am I gonna experience? ‘Cause it’s not video, streaming video. – Well first of all, the internet connection will be ten times as fast. Okay, ten times as fast as LTE. Latency will be reduced to a millisecond. It will be unnoticeable. So basically this means a whole lot that, I’m not an expert on this, but I can read articles and tell you what they say. Essentially, it’s gonna do a number of things. This is sort of the beginning of the end of their being a point of reference for things taking time over the internet, okay? So we still live in a world in which we wait for things. We see something spinning on Netflix to load, et cetera, and this kind of thing. But this is the beginning of there being wirelessly in the air, broadcast everywhere, accessible to any device that can tap into it, not waiting for anything. Now of course, it’s technology, it’s gonna screw up, you’re gonna get frustrated with it just like any technology. – Or people will start making things, like now we’re gonna start streaming 3D environments, but you’re gonna feel like you can’t live without it, and then you’re gonna be frustrated with it loading. – Well loading is. – I don’t mean, like holograms. You’re gonna stream holograms. – Well actually so, holograms, not so much, but AR, so augmented reality, virtual reality, the fact that we’re gonna get down to wireless latency being so small, you’re not gonna have a console to experience. ‘Cause basically you have to have a real world device. You’ve got to have like a phone that you’re putting into a device, you’ve got to have like Google glasses. You’ve got to have something that’s on your person that isn’t tethered to something in order to really be immersed to the world of, like to bring augmented reality to the world, we have to have something that is out and about, and it’s everywhere. I can take it to the grocery store, it’s gonna change the way I interact with everything. 5G is the beginning of that happening. It’s like things are kind of settling, but it will be that significant. Also, any technology, like self driving cars, autonomous cars, being able to communicate with each other and communicate with the internet in a way that’s fast enough for them to like be reliably kind of dependent upon this interconnected network. That’s gonna happen with 5G. And it’s being rolled out, it’s being rolled out in a number of cities. Depends on who your carrier is. But basically you’re also not have to have a cable coming into your house. You’re gonna have a wireless modem that captures the 5G and then that modem, your local wifi is gonna be broadcast around your house and to your television and all this stuff. You’re not gonna be drilling holes into your house. The cable guy’s not gonna come out and have to go oh a tree limb fell on your cable and you’re screwed. That’s not gonna happen because it’s all gonna be wireless. 5G man, welcome to the fricking future. – The thing I found was. – In selected cities. – Elon Musk is gonna be sending people into space, into the International Space Station on his space shuttle, the Dragon. Boeing’s working on one too, they’re supposed to have out, and there’s been some unmanned. Well right now our astronauts have to hitch a ride on the Russian shuttles to the International Space Station. So NASA has contracted with SpaceX and Boeing to have our own shuttle system. – Well hard do you think it would be for us to work out doing our Madea marathon at the International Space Station? – Well it’s gonna be much easier this year. – Elon if you’re watching, I know you’re a fan. If you would like us to have our Madea marathon on the International Space Station, if you feel like you can pull the right things. (mumbling) We will do it. I’ll pee in a bag. I’ll pee out in the open. Your pee just turns into a yellow ball in space. And then you can capture it with a net. So whatever you want, whatever it takes. Tyler Perry doesn’t even have to be there if we can do it all on the International Space Station. – Elon Musk’s cars will have, will be playing the new Tesla album only. They’ve worked out a deal. – They should work out a deal, first of all. – He tweeted this around Halloween of last year, that a Tesla will be able to drive around a parking lot and find an empty spot, read signs to confirm it’s valid, and park. – That’s helpful. – And illegal. On a state level, they have to create laws in terms of self driving cars and stuff like that. – Laws are for losers. – You know, so it’s like valet. So it’s just one more thing to just like, maybe I need to get one of those Teslas. – Maybe you do, man. You ought to get one, splurge a little bit. – Splurge, I just can’t bring myself to do something like that. I don’t know, maybe. – Jazzercise is going to be celebrating 50 years. – Oh now we come to it, the good stuff. I don’t exactly know what Jazzercise is, because I’m picturing like Jane Fond in leotards, my mom used to take me to the church fellowship hall and I’d have to sit in the corner and like color while she was jumping around with leg warmers on. – She was probably doing Jazzercise. – But she was doing the church version, and Amy Grant was involved. – well it’s a system, it’s a franchise. Well I don’t know if they do it at churches, maybe they do, but it is a franchise. – 50 years though? – Well let me tell you a little bit about this, because when I found this out, I was excited. – Is Jane Fonda part of Jazzercise? – I do not believe so. It was started by some woman named like Shepard Misset or something like that. So it was started in 1969, hence, 50 years ago. This is crazy. By 1984, Jazzercise was declared the second fastest growing franchise behind Domino’s Pizza. Did you know this was happening in the 80s? – You got to license it to do it. – Today, the company boasts 83 hundred franchises in 32 countries, and earns roughly 100 million dollars per year. There’s 200,000 customers dancing and sweating to Jazzercise choreography each year, millions of lives, this is like the press release from Market Watch. – This is what they wrote. – Well it’s all true. You think Jazzercise is gonna lie to you? Millions of live have been touched during the company’s 50 year history. Jazzercise, now this is where my ears, this is where my thighs started perking up. Jazzercise will celebrate their golden anniversary. Your thighs work in jazz? – They don’t perk up though. – Mine do, you want to see my thighs perk up? – There are things that can get perky, but the thighs aren’t two of them. – Jazzercise will celebrate the golden anniversary with a two day international convention and party, June 28th through 29th, 2019, at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego. Over 2,000 people will attend the event that will both be filled with dance fitness classes, live entertainment, international guest performers, surprise announcements, and big reveals about the brand’s future. We got to play Jazzercise, we got to play Jazzercise. What if we could play Jazzercise, do a concert at Jazzercise 50th golden anniversary, and do the Madea marathon there. – This is gonna be a big year for us. – Clear your calender Link. My thighs are gonna be so perky on June 28th and 29th. Line up and see them jump. – The thing that we are doing is creating more tour dates for our music and concert extravaganza. So I mean I don’t mean to turn this into an announcement, but we’re gonna be at Jazzercise, San Diego. – Well we got to work out the details. – Well we’re gonna be in London next month, February, in association with Vidcon, we have our own concert, rhettandlinklive.com, check on tickets for that. In April we’re gonna be in Nashville, Saint Louis, and Columbus, and D.C. Maryland area, so that’s four shows. The Nashville show’s gonna be at the Rimmen, which is the birthplace of the Grand Ole Opry. Of course then moved, but like that’s the original stage man. I’m so excited. Rhettandlinklive.com if you want to come see us. – Bringing it in 2019. – I’m not just trying to make this a plug, I think that’s a big thing I’m looking forward to in 2019 that we haven’t been able to talk about is like specific tour dates, and again, we’re looking to do some more. – Writing music for it, new music coming. – Yeah, what about personally. Let’s get to some things that we’re looking forward to personally. – I’m doing something I’ve never done before in 2019. – This is ambitious man. When you first told me about this I was like whoa, really. – When I looked at the price tag I was like whoa. – You’re gonna do this? – I am, I’m doing it, I booked it today as a matter of fact. So I am taking the McLaughlins, or should I say, the McLaughlins, to Scotland. I have. – And how many McLaughlin’s are we talking about? – Twelve. – How big is the clan? – Twelve. – Twelve people. – Okay so here’s the deal. I’ve been thinking about doing this for a while. I thought that it would be an unforgettable experience to take all the people that I know and love with the last name McLaughlin, to the motherland. – But did you tell any of them that. – No, I told them when I knew I was going to do it. – Yeah, it was in your mind but you didn’t tell them one day I hope to take you to Scotland. – No, I’ve never said that. I’ve only thought it. And first of all, they’re very excited. – How did you tell them? This was like a gender reveal or something. Like you got to make a big deal out of it. – I just thought that I shouldn’t do that. I didn’t want to make a big, I wanted to make. – Look at what I’m doing. – I wanted to make the big to do just the going. – Okay, that’s admirable. – So I just told them when I was home, I told them when I was home for the state fair, you know, in October, and they’re all very excited. ‘Cause I was like, you don’t know if they’re gonna be able to do it, you don’t know what their schedules are. It has to work out with when we’re gonna be able to be getting away. So anyway, so this is who I’m taking. I’m taking of course my family, that’s four people. I’m taking my parents, that makes six. And I’m taking my brother and his wife and their four children. So there’s 12 of us all together. And we’re putting together the itinerary right now. Now I’ve never traced my family back specifically, but I’ve done a little bit of like the ancestry thing and it kind of gets a little murky around the 1700s. We don’t go back very far. It seems that like both sides of the family come from like poor farmers that didn’t really have any weight, you had to be of a certain class in order to kind of get traced back. I’m sure I could do it if I did a little more research, but anyway. Because our last name is McLaughlin, McLaughlin is probably what I should start saying, we do know that McLaughlin is a derivative of McLaughlin. Basically it become McLachlan, and then we know that McLachlan is a derivative of Lachlan, and the Lach, ’cause you know they would add the MC’s because there was some sort of family dispute or whatever. Anyway, the Lachlan clan still exists, still has a chief. – A chief? – Yeah, a chieftain, whatever they call them. And there’s the old ruin. Basically you’ve got the old Lachlan castle which is on a lake in Scotland, and then you’ve got the new Lachlan castle which is where the chief still lives. – Does everybody pay dues, I mean, it’s a castle? – It’s not a homeowners association. It’s just a family. – So is it like a castle? – It’s a hotel now. There’s like a hotel and restaurant there I think. But I think a lot of, the heritage goes way back you know, in the British Isles, and so I think that there are plenty of families that still have some sort of structure intact, you know you’ve got your, I’m so bad, I don’t know. You got your family shield or whatever you call it. I’m gonna know all these terms. – You’ve got time to figure it out, you’re not going next month, you’re going later. – And I’m planning the ins and outs of what we’re going to do, but we’re hope to like meet the chief, and I’m going to submit my application to take his place when he passes, so I can live in a castle in Scotland. – I don’t think the central air and heating is great in those things. – Oh, well I might have to rethink that. – You might want to get a tour first before you bend the knee. – We could do the Madea marathon there. I could bring you. Don’t know what kind of internet, don’t know if they got 5G. But anyway. – I’m gonna hang back. – But that’s super ambitious. – I’m gonna let you have a family thing. – It’s a little intimidating. – There’s holes in castle, and you squat down and you dump in them and then it goes down into the moat. It just runs down the side of the castle. That’s how those things work. – I think they have plumbing. The reason I decided to do it is because my oldest nephew is turning 18 this year, and you know, he’s gonna be off at college and it’s like, this is like the last time we’re all kind of living as intact families, to go off and take over the Scottish countryside. – If he partners up and starts having kids, that’s more people you got to take. – Yeah, not doing that. – Got to get it over with before they start procreating the next generation of McLaughlin. – I’m looking forward to that. I want to make some memories, man. – That’s cool, I commend you on that. You know with you taking a vacation it means I got to figure something out. – Yeah you do, yeah. – I think I just might, I don’t know, I’m thinking maybe Scotland. I don’t know, I don’t know what I’m going to do. I do know that we’re planning a trip for Lily’s 16th birthday, we said, we had some friends who did this every year they have multiple kids and they’re like alright, a kid gets to decide what they’re doing, and they have like a special trip. I’m like for Lily’s 16th, we’re gonna give her one of those where it’s like just us, her, her mom and me, are going to go and do a special 16th, you know something that she’ll remember, make it special. Anywhere she wants to go. What’s that going to be? She wants to go to London. I think because of all this Dr. Who and Harry Potter and all this stuff she’s been into, having never been there she’s always wanted to go and experience the life of London. Of course, so I mean we’re doing a show there, separate from that, so I’m gonna get my share of London this year, and I’m gonna love it. – After the McLaughlin’s leave Scotland, the rest of the McLaughlin’s besides my little clan, we’re sticking around and we’re driving across the United Kingdom countryside towards London and then ending in London. – Okay, you’re gonna get some London too. – So I’m gonna have to get London tips. – Yeah, we both need some London tips y’all. Hashtag Ear Biscuits. Lots to look forward to this year. There’s lots of other stuff we’ve got in the works. There’s a big project we’ve been working on for a while that will I think in a few weeks, we’ll start teasing that out, but we can’t yet talk about it. But just be on the lookout for that. – What are you looking forward to this year? – This is a good start to the year. I’m feeling great about 2019, if you haven’t made your resolutions, it’s not too late. – Or don’t make resolutions. Just find things that other people are doing that you can look forward to. That’s what we did. – Yeah like we did today, it can be a movie, it can be a little blip on your calender. – Make a resolution, I’m going to watch a movie that I want to watch, and then you’ll feel good about yourself. – It’s the little things. – Set the bar low and jump right over it. – Alright, also wanted to say the video version of this is now living on another channel, as well as all video versions, well all Ear Biscuits, past, present, and future, will be at youtube.com/earbiscuits. So all those old interviews from previous seasons, all that stuff, if you want the YouTube version and the video version of everything moving forward, that’s where you need to subscribe. – And if you can’t spell biscuit like I can’t, it’s biscuit. – You can remember that ’cause it’s like biscuit. CUIT, it’s like a sentence. – It’s just like the way I remember how to spell school. It’s school, because school’s not cool. That’s how I used to remember that. – Not cool. – School’s not cool, it doesn’t have the word cool in it. It’s got the word hool in it. School’s hool. – We have broken the seal on a new year. We’re already in it. – There we go. – That’s good, ow, just actually hurt myself.
