Welcome to “Ear Biscuits.” The podcast where two lifelong friends talk about life for a long time. I’m Link. And I’m Rhett. This week at the Round Table of Dim Lighting, we as a duo, we’ll be discussing other duos, because, hey, man, we’re experts on being a duo. We’ve got experience with being connected by an ampersand. And that might be a real duo. It might be a fictitious duo. It might be a duo, and I mean, you spent some time- Well, we’ve actually- Categorizing them. And you know, I see the twinkle in your eye when you’re categorizing things. It feels good to put things in groups. I feel like every day when you get here, I should have like a not a big bag, but like a small bag, a lunch bag size of different color Legos, and just like, drop ’em in front of you and you’ll be like… ♪ Boopity beep peedoo doo peedoop peep ♪ I’m not like a dog that you’ve gotta like buy toys to keep them occupied so they get tired. Have you seen one of those? Do you ever give your dogs one of those like puzzle toys where there you put food in and they have to like, figure out how to do that? No. My dogs don’t have, I mean, Jasper has a lot of energy, but- I think they might surprise you. I mean, we did it for a little bit with Barbara. I should try it with Jasper, but I’ve never, Jade it’s not a candidate for that. But Barbara seemed like she got mad at us. She was frustrated? She would do it, but then she would look at us like, “But why?” Yeah, I know how she feels. She’s like, you realize- But that’s the question you just made. You could have just given me that. Huh. And I was like, “Yeah, I could and I will. Here you go, princess.” I have taken Jamie’s list of duos, which we will respond to, and all I’ve really done is kind of put ’em into categories so we can kind of stay in a zone at a time. Music. How are we gonna rank ’em? I’m gonna say- Not rank ’em. Let me say the categories. Oh, yeah, yeah. Music, fictional, historical, comedy, and other slash catchall. We’re not really doing lovers. We get to it. Lovers are not really duos. No. I mean, they are, but they’re not that kind of duos- No, they’re couples. That we’re talking about. Right, they’re couples. The couple is not a duo. Yeah. I mean, unless- Sometimes they are, though. Sunny and Cher. There are a few exceptions, yeah. So I wanna just let’s get into the music of it all. The first one is The Everly Brothers. Now you’re a fan of The Everly Brothers, Phil and Don, American Rock duo. Their first hit in 1957, “Bye-bye Love.” Now before we, hold on. Originally rejected by 30 other acts. Now, before we lose you, so don’t start fast forwarding. Oh gosh, who are- The Everly Brothers? If you don’t know. So- You should know. The Everly Brothers have been really meaningful to us. So they were very meaningful to me as a child because in the not so large stack of records that my parents gave me when I was a kid, that I kept in my room, the Everly Brothers was one of the albums. And boy, I just, I loved their music, right? And I didn’t really understand what harmony was. I just knew that I liked the vibe. They basically sang close harmony the entire time. Yeah, every lyric, every piece of their song. You know? And when we started really getting into a groove of how we liked to write, it was very much that. Right. To the point where sometimes when we would get input from others, they’d be like, “Why don’t you think about singing, like, you take a verse, you take a verse.” It took a long time once we were writing songs, comedy songs for YouTube to kinda branch out and kind of split apart. Right. Which is a nice little asset. Well, they set the standard for this. Oh yeah, I mean- They really set it. What’s your favorite Everly Brothers’ song? I mean, I don’t know. It’s definitely- “Dream?” It’s not “Bye-bye Love.” ♪ Dream ♪ I think “Dream” is it. That’s the best one. What about “Cathy’s Clown?” It’s a bit of weird. Interesting. It’s a weird song. Yeah. But I do like it. You should listen to The Everly Brothers, if you wanna know what close harmony sounds like. And also realize that- They were so- They kind of were making it, they were inventing it in some sense, right? So influential. Speaking of which, another iconic musical duo pretended to be them before they became popular. Lennon and McCartney. Yeah. And Lennon- The Beatles. And McCartney is a bit of an interesting categorization as a duo, because obviously they were, they’re known in the context of The Beatles, but they were sort of the core creative force in that. Yeah, ’cause you know it’s like, you’ll say Lennon and McCartney, you’ll just say it, you put it together. I say it all the time, You know which order it goes in. Nobody says McCartney and Lennon. And so it’s linked with an and, and to me that’s a good test of the iconicness of a duo, is if you know how to say it, and you know what order it’s in. Mm, good point, good point. You know? And it just rolls off the tongue. So even though they were part of a larger band, like childhood friends, they agreed when they were writing their songs, like crediting their songs, that no matter who wrote the song and who contributed, sometimes only one of them contributed. They still credit it as Lennon and McCartney. For the longest time, that was their agreement. Really? Yeah, just like a blanket agreement. That’s what they did. So they were like, they really duo to themselves. And you know what, I mean, that’s what we did. We had a conversation very early when we were trying to make this work. It’s like, “You know what, we’re building this as a duo. We’re not trying to do other things.” It’s like you have the luxury now of, we have the luxury of being able to branch out and do things if we want to, because we’ve established the duoness to the point where there’s not, you know, it’s firmly established. That ampersand is gonna be there. And it’s like, “Oh, it’s Rhett from Rhett and Link. It’s Link from Rhett and Link.” You know, The Beatles broke up. They had amazing careers. Paul still does. But he still talks about John all the time. He still talks about The Beatles all the time. You know, he still, Paul McCartney from The Beatles. And we’re not gonna, maybe we will for some of these duos. We did it recently on “Good Mythical More” where we’re like, who’s the who, and the which one of us is who and a duo, which we might do that if it naturally occurs. But- Yeah. Now which one are you? But who do you like more? Like, you know, everybody’s got a favorite, right? Paul. Okay, yeah. Yeah, oh yeah. Just musically. Well, yeah. I like the Paul songs a lot more than the John songs. You know, and there’s the whole Yoko Ono thing that, you know, a lot of people really feel like that, from a musical perspective, really took John in some interesting directions. He also died at some point, you know, so he didn’t have quite the longevity. But have you seen “A Hard Day’s Night”? I haven’t. So I watched, I didn’t finish it, I’ll be honest with you. I was in a mood to be like, I wanna watch something weird. This is like, during Beatles mania, they made this movie? 1964. It’s kind of crazy that in the middle of Beatlemania, they decided to do this documentary, not documentary, movie. And it- They’re playing themselves, right? They’re playing themselves. And there’s a, you know, it’s based on the things that are true about The Beatles and the fact that they’re all playing themselves, and they are a band, and they’re on tour or whatever, but it’s about- They had lines, there was a story? It wasn’t presented as a documentary. Oh, yeah. And I think that it will make you think differently about all of them. And, but especially John, because I always thought- Well, his what? His sense of humor? He was serious one. He’s got, no, I know about his sense of humor because I watched, like the 80-hour documentary, that Beatles- “Get Back”? Yeah. Yeah. I didn’t like that show. I like to put it together. Like even with all the tension that you could cut with a knife, he was like constantly, like doing voices and being totally kooky. Well, here’s the thing. And I think this is where- What a weirdo. I mean, like, in the best way. I think that some people- I love this duo. If they were trying to like, if they were doing the thing that I don’t wanna do, and like, track me and you onto a duo, they might be like, oh, Link is McCartney, because he seems like more happy go lucky, whatever. If you watch “A Hard Day’s Night,” the choices that Lennon makes that are just complete head scratchers. He’s, yeah. Makes you Lennon. He, oh, really? Oh, yeah. I think- Wacky. Okay, I got to see it. It’s just, it’s- Well, I kind of wanna be Ringo. I mean, he seems the happiest. He does some things. I just want to be Ringo happy. Again, I only got to like a third of this movie, But I’m just saying- Poor George. There are some choices that he made- Poor George, nobody wants to be George. There are choices that he made that are just like, this is- Wacky. This is just weird. This choice was just for him. Man, I’d love to meet all of them. So I ended up kind of like, you know, I was like, oh, you know, he gets a reputation and I’m not… I like the Beatles. And it’s the kind of thing where when I listen to them, I’m like, “Oh man, I just forget how good this music is, how innovative it was, and how I just love the arrangements. I love the melodies, I love the choices.” And then, but I never find myself being like, “Well, I’m gonna listen to The Beatles right now.” ‘Cause you got- I don’t know what it is. You gotta go on a kick. I don’t know what it is. If when you listen to it, it’s great. But then you don’t find your, I don’t find myself being drawn back to it. So I didn’t have a proper opinion about Lennon. But I’m just saying he’s kooky, man. He was kooky. Yeah. He’s now dead. He was shot. He was also very principled. I’ll throw into this Everly Brothers mix, just as influential. And another iconic music duo that you have to mention, Simon and Garfunkel. Yeah. We’re heavily influenced. I mean, they were basically Everly Brothers impersonators at the beginning. Like if you listen to their first album, the “3 A.M.” whatever it is, I mean, they’re just impersonating The Everly Brothers. That’s how they started, period. Yeah. So that’s why I’m actually putting The Everly Brothers, even though there’s no ampersand above Lennon and McCartney, and above Simon and Garfunkel. And they’re just so tied to each other. You know, Paul Simon obviously ended up doing his own thing for a longer period of time. And I, again, I don’t know much, I’m sure you know more about the music history of this thing, but like, my impression is that Paul Simon, I don’t know if Garfunkel was as well, but like, these are difficult people to- I mean, they had a difficult relationship. Difficult people to remain in duos for a long period of time. Yeah. I feel for him. And Paul Simon was just such a musical genius, in terms of his songwriter. And I mean, it’s easy to kinda give Garfunkel short shrift. So I find myself compensating for that and really liking the Garfunkel songs ’cause he was just more of like a harmony guy. Well, name one of those. Like, well, “Bridge Over Troubled Water” is like the most famous. But that’s a Paul Simon song that like, he just- Are you saying- He gave Garfunkel to sing. You’re saying whoever wrote it, you’re saying that there are Simon-written songs and Garfunkel-written songs? No, I’m talking about like more- The singing lead? More of like the lead, like where Garfunkel’s not just kind of singing the harmony, which I mean, makes me throw out Hall and Oates. You got that ampersand, even though technically they say that they never call themselves Hall and Oates, it was always Darrell Hall and John Oates, like that is the official name of their band. And if you look at most all of their albums, it actually says their full names. Like they do not refer to themselves and never did as Hall and Oates. Now you urinated next to Darrell Hall at one point. Tell me about that. In the airport? Yeah, and then I followed him, trying to work up the gumption to say something. And I never did. Hey man, I just peed next to you. Just biggest regret of my life. Well, I’m glad you didn’t say anything while you were peeing, because listen, I’m no Daryl Hall, but I have been recognized from time to time, and I have had people peeing next to me and get in conversation. You don’t want anybody talking to you while you’re spilling your oats. And I’m a nice guy, so I didn’t say, “Hey bro, let’s wait until this is over.” But- I knew I wasn’t gonna talk to him at the urinal. I didn’t, yeah, I just stalked him a little bit. Hall and Oates, interesting case. And also, we’ll talk about Brooks and Dunn in a second, but- Mm, not an ampersand, but an “N.” Yeah, right, which we should have done that, written Link with an… That we missed an opportunity there. Right, mm. But in both of these cases, I don’t know- Garfunkel and Oates, you mean? No, no, Brooks and Dunn and all others. Which is another iconic musical comedy duo. I don’t know exactly what the responsibility breakdown was in terms of the creative process for these guys. But the final package, the performance package, right? Yeah, Oates kind of disappears. And- A little back up- And Brooks disappears. Yeah, Kix Brooks. Well, he does a lot to make up for disappearing in the, like, the mix of things by- Waggling. Moving around a little. Partying it up. He’s very fun to watch. But like when you think- Wearing the cowboy hat. But when you think about Brooks and Dunn, you’re hearing Ronnie Dunn, except for a few, few songs. You know, they were an arranged duo. Yeah. They both had solo careers for years. They were both writing for other people, Kix Brooks writes a lot of music, as well as Ronnie Dunn. But they were put together because it just wasn’t clicking for either one of them as solo artists. And you know, it’s like Ronnie’s got this amazing voice. He had amazing songs. And then you got Kix Brooks who’s got the look, he had the Cowboy, the look, he had the big mustache. Has a little legitimacy to it. And the big hat. And like Ronnie had like the bouffant hair and- Right. He was kind of, he was a little bit prettier, you know. Some Vince Gill sort of- Yeah, energy. Yeah. With more belt to your voice. I mean, they are both great. You know, I just have this sense like, “Oh, you’re great, I’m great, we’re both great,” kind of thing that I wanna say. But like, it just felt like, it’s a marketing ploy that worked. And then, you know, the songs they brought to the table, it just continued working. So I do like it, but because it’s not an even, it’s not perceived as an even partnership. I gotta put it a little bit lower on the list. I’ll throw out the White Stripes, brother sister duo. But then you got Jack White who’s known for so many things. And it’s like, when you say Jack White, you don’t have to say Meg at the same time. Yeah. You don’t have to. So I mean that- A duo is only gonna get to the top of the list if- They’re equals. You only think about them, you think about them primarily in the context of the duo. Yeah. Which is not the case with Jack White. Now Brooks and Dunn, I mean, you can’t separate the words. Yeah. But you know, they don’t seem, the perception is different. Sonny and Cher, same thing. I mean, Cher obviously, you can separate the words. So that doesn’t work. But I’m gonna throw out one more that I think is the only one that can rival the Everly Brothers. Okay. And again, ’cause I don’t want it to be The Everly Brothers ’cause there’s no ampersand, and they’re brothers. So it’s kinda like, there’s the blood thing, and I kind of like it when they put people together who are thicker than thieves and closer than brothers, and connected with an ampersand. Of course, my next suggestion doesn’t have that either. OutKast. Out and Kast. Out and Kast. OutKast, man. Big Boi, Andre 3000. I mean, Andre is always listed as one of the greatest MCs of all time. And, but you really can’t give Big Boi short shrift. And they compliment each other so well. They do. And they each hold their weight. And together they made something amazing. They did. Again, and again, and again. They did, I completely agree with you. I think the thing that makes it difficult to put them above the Everly Brothers is again the, you know, Andre 3000 is like, he’s like a fashion icon and like- Right. He’s like, his voice was like super- Distinct. Distinct. And so, I think when you have to know sort of the BTS, when you have to kind of understand what makes Big Boi great. Yeah. From like an educational standpoint, which I completely agree with. But then just like the popular perception is like, “Oh yeah, that guy from OutKast.” That’s- Yeah. Sometimes acts. It makes, I mean it’s just, it’s a unfortunate way that people just try to distill a duo down to these parts, you know? Yeah. All right, so we’re- But ’cause you can’t do that with The Everly Brothers. No. I wouldn’t have even been able to tell you that there was on- They didn’t even sing separate? Who’s Phil, who’s Don? When the duo is so intertwined. Inextricable. Inextricable. Yeah. That makes them the best duo in this musical duo battle. Yeah, yeah, all right. I’ll give it to you.

It’s always Frodo and Sam, I guess. I mean, Frodo, they’re great, right? They’re, you know, the entire trilogy, like their story is just so moving. Oh, it’s great. And it’s so, and they’re inseparable, even though, like Frodo was tasked with the thing, like Frodo had his connection to Gandalf, and like every, you know, he had to bear the weight, but not really, ’cause Sam was like- He couldn’t have done it without Sam. He couldn’t have done it without Sam 100%. And that was the story. That was what was being explored. But points against them as a duo- Okay. Is the fact that it was Frodo that was tasked with something as an individual. It wasn’t like they were both trying to get a White Castle. Exactly, and we’re about to get to a fictitious duo that I think for reasons that I’ve got, it’s gonna be very difficult for them to not be the best fictitious duo. I disagree with your point though. Okay. Because- But if one person is tasked with it and the other person is essential to a accomplishing it, that’s great. But it’s not the same as both of them being tasked with though, or both of them making the decision to do it. I would argue that Gandalf did give Sam the task. Okay. Of accompanying Frodo. Okay. Okay. But only one person could possess the ring. What I’m getting at is if it was like a double ring situation. Okay. Then it- Like brass knuckles. Yeah, if it was like two little brass knuckles they had to stay side by side the whole time, then it would be like, this is a great duo. They, yeah, that would be awesome. And they both disappeared at the same time. That was my biggest criticism of “Lord of the Rings,” was that it wasn’t brass knuckles. This is actually an interesting thing to bring up as we have developed things, scripted things, you know, we’ve done a bunch of scripted things. And we obviously write every single thing from that’s got us in it, from the perspective of a duo. And when you read any sort of screenwriting book, they basically talk about how you have to pick your protagonist. And that’s traditionally, it’s one person. And so the real problem being protagonist- What noise did I just make? You made the screenwriting noise. I tried to say, “Uh-huh.” But it came out- Uh-huh. Uh. All right. I wasn’t gonna say anything, but you did. Oh, now that happen. So, it becomes difficult. Well, the main mistake that amateur screenwriters make- Like us. Let me, and we were much, we’re still amateurs, but we were much more amateurs, you know, 15 years ago, was that you basically just distill the duo down to one character who is the protagonist. And you realize that, “Oh, this could just be one person doing this stuff.” Mm-hmm. And then we learned, actually we learned on “Buddy System” season two… That I was the protagonist? No, I don’t know what you’re about to say. No, no, we learned that every buddy comedy is a romantic comedy. Oh, yes. Yeah, yeah, it’s of that form. Yeah, and so- The things that you wanna see in romantic relationship- There is no- There is a… A parallelism- And that’s one of the reasons that we set it up- In buddies. In season two was like, this is not two guys that have to do something together. Yeah. Not hip to hip kind of a thing. It was like- No . We didn’t even know each other at the beginning, and now we have to do this. And so there would be this interaction between the two characters because the oscillation of connection and conflict between two characters, is what makes an interesting story. And they- We don’t have it down yet and we don’t do a lot of scripted stuff- Yeah, but- But we had to learn that lesson. Well, and so we structured the motive of each character to be different. Like my parallel universe character wanted to become a robot, just to have such a simple life that was just programmatic and totally secure. Like driven by security and organization. Like we were saying, the categorization or- They had to want different things. And then your- But also kind of want the same thing. Your character wanted what? Comfort. Well, and I specifically was trying to achieve, I was trying to transcend. Transcendence. The seven seals of satisfaction. Yeah. Trying to find the seven seal. But what the audience wanted, was for them to be friends. Connection. For them to be buddies forever. Yeah. And so that’s what we were toying with. That’s what we were hoping to make it compelling. You should go back and watch it. It’s free on YouTube. “Buddy System” season two. You can watch it in one sitting. But in- Sam and Frodo. They’re such a sweet relationship. And obviously, in terms of the story that they’re contextualized in, one of my favorite stories of all time. Mm-hmm. But I actually think that Wayne and Garth are a better duo. Okay, okay. And again, I’m not like a huge Wayne and Garth fan, in terms of we did accidentally watch the first movie. Yeah, because how did that happen? We were watching- We were hanging out watching- The 1950 something come back or 1960 something comeback special from Elvis. Right, and then when- And I just automatically started playing- When it was- It was like 1:00 AM, and we were like, “Are we gonna do this?” And everybody looked around, and we just, then we watched the whole movie. But we concluded that it held up. Oh yeah. And this is why I think that Wayne and Garth are so far the best fictitious duo. We’ll see if they get usurped. They are so essential to one another. They’re very different. And they’re the same in a certain way, but they’re very different in a certain way. And they fall into these roles that are so complimentary, and like, they both, I mean, we’re always trying to make sure that there’s an even balance between us, where the stuff that we’re in, in terms of like where the comedy is coming from. Yeah. And like who’s getting this joke in or whatever. But that’s how these guys- It’s even. These guys come across. Very even. And then you might know, people have favorites to be like, “I just think that everything that Garth does is so funny,” if you’re a Garth guy. And people will be like, “But, and Wayne is kind of, it’s his show, right?” Yeah. And Garth is like the sidekick on the show. On their basement show. In their setup, there’s like, “This is Wayne’s show and Garth is the sidekick.” But, right. But in the presentation of the comedy, they are Wayne and Garth- Yes. And they’re bringing equal parts funny and interest. And it’ll be about like, well, you know, Wayne is the one that is, I don’t even remember who was trying to get Tia. What’s her name? It was Wayne. I think it was Wayne, yeah. But like, they both got challenges that they’re trying to, like you’re pulling for both of them. There’s a bigger goal, but I don’t know. I’m just saying that I think the complimentary nature and you don’t think they didn’t do anything on their own. Right. They existed as a duo in their fictitious world. Right. And when you see ’em separately, you’re missing the other half. And that’s kind of like, that’s the point. Nobody dresses up as just Garth for Halloween. Right. You could. Well- And you’d be a . Well, we both dressed up as Wayne for Halloween, on gym in one year. Wayne. That was the joke. We’ve done a lot of like Robin and Robin. Right, Wayne and Wayne. But, yeah. But you could go- That was so funny. You could go as Frodo. You could. And no, I don’t think anybody would be like, “Where’s Sam?” Oh, they would. They also would be like, “Which Hobbit are you?” Because… Right. You know, they all gotta look the same. And they coined a bunch of catch phrases. “Party on.” That’s what she said? They made that popular, huh? Hell, yeah they did. Schwing. I mean, so yeah, we’ve got a heavy identification with Wayne and Garth. So, all right, I’m gonna go with that. Thelma and Louise. I’m gonna throw that out there. Give the ladies some love. You definitely got that ampersand in there, Thelma and Louise. You don’t think, when you hear Thelma and Louise. I mean, I- Spoiler alert. I, for one, have seen this movie. Have you? I don’t like to see movies where cars go off cliffs. Hey, Spoiler! I said, I already said that. There is an event where you can go, I know this is a tangent, I’m sorry, but like, I think this is the TikTok thing. You can show up somewhere, and then there like automobiles are driven off a cliff, and then they like come down the side of the mountain in front of all the spectators. That’s- Where is this? That’s a cool little day. I don’t know, I could look that up. That would be pretty cool to watch. Watch cars go off a cliff event. “The Glacier View car lot has become a 4th of July tradition in the picturesque wilderness east of Palmer, Alaska, launching cars off a 300 foot cliff.” Yeah. How many cars can they do this with? I don’t know, but I don’t think that people are in it. 13 cars. Yeah, and look at, here’s one of ’em with a van pulling like an RV. 300 feet. Started in the 2000s when someone hit a moose and needed to dispose of the wrecked vehicle. That someone had imagination. It was all downhill from there. I mean, what’s at the bottom of this cliff? Just a bunch of cars? Do they remove ’em? Well, you know, they love nature in Alaska. So it goes without saying that when the party is over, Rhett, what’s left of the vehicles is taken to be recycled. Oh, are you reading now or are you just saying things? That’s just how I talk. Okay. “No Alaskans are harmed in the making of the videos associated with it.” It’s sounds fun. Except the guy that moves in after car number 12 to start the cleanup process. That guy could get injured. I think maybe we should go to this. I’m down, at the bottom of the cliff, with my camera. I love the fact that there’s a Facebook ad in this article for the retirement home of the town where this happens. Oh, does it look nice? “If you’re attending the Glacier View 4th of July car launch, look for our van that the residents had so much fun decorating.” Well, I mean, if you gotta retire somewhere, assuming they let you out, if you wanna go look at the car. I mean, when I retire, I wanna retire next to some exciting stuff. You know what I mean? That’s exciting stuff. I do know what you mean. That’s why I told you about it, it’s exciting. So that’s Thelma and Louise. Pretty iconic. The fact that they die together. They die together makes them… Up there. Yeah. Mm-hmm. I mean, do you wanna die together? No, I wanna live longer than you. You’re gonna die first, so- Well, if we die- That kinda gonna cut my life short. If we die of natural causes, I’m more likely to die. I’m a little bit older and I’m taller. But what are the chances that we would, and I know we’ve had this conversation before, but- Let’s have it again, man. Maybe it’ll be different this time. I do think that given what we do… We’re together a lot, yes. It is like- And I’m not just talking about the stuff we do on the show. I’m saying now that we’re doing this college trip every summer- It would be iconic for us to die together. We’re no, we’re- I think that would solidify our- We’re more likely to die together if we die of an accident. Yeah. More likely to die together. So do you want to? If we’re gonna die at the same time, I wanted it to be the same place. I’ll put it here that way. Okay. I’ll just leave it at that. Throw out another one. Who are you thinking? Woody and Buzz Lightyear. Just for consideration. So the first movie was all about them becoming friends, but then there’s like, I guess, and then it was like Jesse’s involved, and- It’s not clean. It’s not clean. Because they each have their own stories. I mean, Buzz Lightyear’s got his own- Movie. Movie. He’s own origin- Series. Yeah. This is kind of the same thing for Shrek and Donkey. You know, the movie’s called Shrek, not Shrek and Donkey. Yeah. If it were called that, so I think they’re friends, But I wouldn’t even call Shrek and Donkey a duo. I wouldn’t call Woody and Buzz a duo. They’re just friends. Yeah, but here’s the thing about- But when they’re around- The difference between Woody and Buzz- It’s an ensemble. Shrek and donkey, though. Shrek and Donkey, you know, Shrek is Shrek, a Donkey is a sidekick. Woody and Buzz Lightyear. There’s not any sidekick energy from either one of them. Yeah, that’s true. There’s like very much like main character energy from both of them. Yeah. Which I think it makes a great duo, right? That’s kind of what I was saying about- Yep, those are the best. Wayne and Garth, and… But they’re almost so main character energy that they supersede a duo, it’s just two guys. It’s an ensemble. Yeah. If I see one, I’m not necessarily missing the other. They don’t complete each other, in the way that Wayne and Garth did. They don’t. Okay, as toys, you would not buy Woody and Buzz as a set. Nope, there you go. But if you bought Wayne and Garth toys, most likely they would be together in a set. Yeah. If you go down the aisle at Walmart, if they were to sell such a thing. Right. Shrek and Donkey, you’re gonna see Shrek on a T-shirt. I mean, if you got a Donkey only T-shirt, is pretty much- I’m sure there is. That’s the joke is that you have a Donkey only T-shirt. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I love ’em together, that Mario and Luigi. Brothers and an ampersand. I mean, we could talk for days about Luigi’s Luiginess. You know what I’m saying? Yeah. He started off just being the green second version of Mario. Right, player number two. Yeah, yeah. Now in the first Super Mario- Then he started in the second one, he started jumping and wiggling his feet. It was like, “Oh, he’s got his own thing!” He’s doing something different. He’s taller. He’s, you know, and sometimes with a duo, and this is our case, it take, you know, one guy’s a little bit of a late bloomer. I was a little bit of a late bloomer in this duo. Okay. Right? So it’s like- You started twirling your feet. So yeah, I started twirling my feet a little bit. I had to play a little catch up. Well, in Super Mario 2, in Super Mario 1, there’s absolutely no difference other than just the color of the overalls. Mm-hmm. But Super Mario two, was it easier to win as one or the other? Luigi, it sucked to play as Luigi. It’s hard to win as him. He was slow, right? He would just kind of float on those feet. I mean, at least Princess would like jump in the air, and then beeline straight. And Toad was, he’s strong as hell, man. Toad was a little beast. You won with Toad? Oh, Toad was my pick, ’cause he would rip those turnips out of the ground, like a big boy. I mean, the quickness that Toad would yank a turnip, is the only reason I ever tried to get fit. Like thinking about Toad. You need better motivation. Don’t look. What are you looking at? You need better motivation. You’re looking at my body? You have a Toad like body. I have a Luigi like body. I am long and lanky, but I wanna have a Toad like, I wanna be able to rip it like Toad, man. Oh, you got something buried in the ground? Call Toad. You really like Super Mario 2? It was a big leap from Super Mario Brothers. I mean, it was amazing. Did you ever beat the first one? No. But you beat the second one? No. How you love these games so much? I mean- Super Mario 3. I didn’t have 2. I got 3 and I beat 3. I didn’t beat that either. Dude, I never beat anything. But one was like easy to beat with warp zones. I could beat 1 in like 19 minutes. Yeah, but then you get to the end, and there’s like a maze. Yeah, I think I could probably still remember how to do it. I think you start high, then go middle, then go low. Okay. And then you’re through, and then you just- Now you’re rubbing it in. Run under Bowser. And I had all the Nintendo powers. I really enjoyed reading those. I like knowing that I could know. Okay, but Mario and Luigi definitely not a great duo because Luigi just- Too repetitive. Somewhat short shrift. Yeah. In the fluttering feet thing. I mean, what about Rick and Morty? They got a strong ampersand, they’re always together, they’re hilarious, and they’re a very unique duo. It’s not a healthy relationship. Not, I mean, but it’s a grandpa grandson, that’s very fresh. It’s not a healthy relationship. No, it’s not. So I don’t think you can- It’s hilarious. I think they- Unhealthy. So if you go back to Sam and Frodo or Wayne and Garth. It’s the Wayne. Yeah. They need each other, right? Rick and Morty is an example of a toxic relationship, so- Unrelentingly toxic. Is there ever a sweet moment? I think for comedy, probably. If it begins to be sweet, then it is immediately made unsweet for comedy. Right. It was sweet for comedy, then it’s made unsweet for comedy, so. I had to mention that’s the only ones in this category. What are we… So are we sticking with, yes, Wayne and Garth? Yes. I mean, I think Wayne and Garth is the best fictitious duo. And I’m willing to be talked out of that. But so far best musical duo, Everly Brothers, best fictitious, Wayne and Garth. Let’s move to historical. Yeah, but I don’t wanna take too long, ’cause I wanna get to comedy duos. Yes. We don’t have a lot. We don’t know much about history. I mean, Bonnie and Clyde, the only thing I know about Bonnie and Clyde is that Merle Haggard wrote a song called “The Legend of Bonnie and Clyde.” Well, I also say originally, you put Bonnie and Clyde in the fictitious category. So you know very little about them. No, that- Oh no, you put Butch Cassidy and Sundance Kid. That’s right, okay. Yeah, I’m not an an idiot. That’s next. I mean, yeah. I don’t know much about Bonnie and Clyde. Well, Bonnie was a waitress in a small cafe. Clyde Barrow was the rambler who took her away. Yeah. They both robbed and killed until both of them died. So goes the legend of Bonnie and Clyde. I think the fact that if the thing that the duo is known for is bad things- That’s cool. I just feel like we can’t put you too high in the list. You know what I mean? So if you have a toxic relationship- They killed 13 people. You’re gonna go down in the list. But if you’re doing toxic things, like killing 13 people, you’re gonna go down in the list. Yeah. But and they had a romantic thing going on, so they were also a couple. That muddies the waters. Yeah, it makes it complicated. Yeah, yeah. But they died together. No shit where you eat. Okay. I don’t know if it’s applicable to that, but it sounded right. Don’t screw your friends, because then they, something more happens. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. And now we go back to the fictional world of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Yeah, so they were real. I mean, we have this picture of Robert Redford and, well, crap, what’s his name? Paul Newman. Paul Newman, oh yeah. How could I forget the guy from the Dressing label? Yeah, Newman’s Own. Great movie, right? You have seen it? I have seen it. Excellent movie? Excellent movie- I mean, it’s no tombstone, but it’s a great western. It’s an era thing, you know. It’s also not as good as like “The Good, The Bad, The Ugly,” which is just about a vibe and a style. That’s a little long and a little boring, But “Butch Cassidy- I disagree with that. And the Sundance kid” is- Better than that. Excellent acting from both of them. Very funny, just endearing. Endearing, yeah. And- Just love hanging out with these guys. And again, but our interpretation of them is through a cinematic representation of them. Yeah, so we’re kind of- So what do we know? What do we really- Kind of, well, I don’t know anything. But like, we do know that when we were in Colorado recently, on the Upper Animas river, and we were on the train going up. The guide who was riding in the train next to me said that bridge right there is the bridge that Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid jumped off in the movie. And I was like, “Okay.” What do you mean in the, okay, so it was a scene in the movie? Yeah. This wasn’t the real life people jumping off of this bridge? I think that’s what he was trying to say. I also kind of thought, “Really?” You know what I mean? Sometimes you just- And spoiler alert, they die together too, right? Yes. But they really died together. It says a shootout in Bolivia. Dude, don’t you know in the movie, they go to Bolivia, man? I don’t remember. You don’t see it happen. So, it’s like they come out, guns are blazing, and then it’s just like, you hear what’s happening, but you don’t see it. So they die together. That’s the bond. They have cool names. Butch Cassidy. If you hear that, what are you gonna say? And the Sundance Kid, you’re gonna put it together. There’s a lot to like about it. Iconic actors playing them. Who else are we throwing out there? The Wright brothers. Okay. Orville and Wilbur Wright. They worked together to invent a flying machine. They brought different things to the table. Did they? Yeah, Wilbur was athletic in his youth. Very well read, a gifted speaker, and outgoing. Orville was impulsive, optimistic, and contemplative. Very interested in science and technology. Okay. But they did something great together. They were brothers. I consider that a demerit. Because it’s- Yeah. You know, they didn’t make a choice. I agree with that. Right, yeah. But they invented something that transformed the world. Yeah, that’s pretty cool. That’s pretty cool. Are they better than- They’re better than the other two we mentioned? Yeah, they’re the best historical duo so far. What about- And they did it in North Carolina, from Ohio. What about Lewis and Clark? Lewis and Clark? They were put together by the president at the time. Can’t remember which one. And I remember when I was a kid, I was reading the “Adventures of Lewis and Clark” and I just cried like a baby when it ended. Well, it ends badly. It’s pretty epic- For one of them. Pretty epic, I mean, but they were put together for this adventure, and then they went their separate ways. Yeah. They did something together and then they parted ways. Yeah, so they were just kind of, so they weren’t inseparable. They were put together and then they separated. Well, how about Adam and Eve? Interesting, you put Adam and Eve in the historical duo category. Well- Because they’re lovers, that’s the only reason I question it. We’re not here- Adam and Eve- To offend anyone. I mean, that’s quite a duo. We wouldn’t be here without Adam, Link. We would, if you said Adam, what you gonna say? And Eve. Everybody knows about Adam and Eve, so it’s just a question. Yeah, they didn’t actually exist, though. But let’s just, okay, let’s for a moment- So we’re gonna give them the- Well, let’s just consider for a moment, let’s compare, let’s just for the sake of this argument, let’s say that they are historical, okay? As you might guess, I have many reasons to believe, almost with complete confidence that they are not, however, they didn’t do good things for us, bro. The whole point of the story is that they screwed it up for everybody. Yeah. The Wright brothers on the other hand, are like bringing planes. And then- Yeah. Adam and Eve were ruining it for everyone. Bringing sin upon the world, destruction and death. Plus we played the Wright Brothers in “Epic Rap Battles of History.” We did, we did. We also played Lewis and Clark. We did. We did. But the Wright Brothers was a more iconic one, ’cause we were up against the Mario Brothers, and we beat ’em. I’m sure there’s other iconic historical duos that we’ve left out. We’re gonna go with the Wright brothers. But Wright brothers are winning in our mind. Let’s move on to comedy duos. Comedy duos. Now, Jamie, first one you put up here was Abbott and Costello. Yes. Which I know I’ve certainly heard of Abbott Costello. And if you say Abbott, I’m gonna say, “And Costello.” Yeah, or maybe Kinney. What? Is that his what? Southbound? That’s the street in Venice. Abbot Kinney. Oh, okay. Abbott and Costello. Costello. Now they did the “Who’s On First” bit. So we do know that. But I’ve never watched Abbott and Costello. You know, it’s too black and white for me. You haven’t chosen to, you probably have, you’ve seen that bit, you know, represented in some sort of documentary about the history of comedy or something on CNN. To be an iconic comedy duo. Even if no one’s ever seen you, they’ve still heard of you, and they’ve heard of your bit, you know. Yeah. That’s powerful. Well- That’s powerful. Very interesting tidbit about these guys. Costello used to fake his voice as the pair started out on the radio. Okay. And their voices were too similar for people to tell them apart. Huh? He faked his voice to make them sound more alike? Or he fixed it by faking his voice? Well, based on what I just said, I think he made it different- Okay. So that their voices sounded too similar. So, because their voices sounded too similar. Oh, okay. So it’s to differentiate. If all you got is your voice on the radio. So… I mean, I think people can easily tell our voices apart, even though on the spectrum of all people’s voices, we would be probably put in the same category. Yeah. Like if there are like 10 categories of voices. Yeah, and- It’d be in the same category, but there’s enough differentiation. Our inflection is the same. You know, to go back to the music of it all. And you know, they talk about, there’s a thing called blood harmony where it’s, when you’re brothers, or when you’re related, you’re able to have this close harmony that just like completely blends. And it’s a combination of some people would say is genetics and upbringing. But we’re able to have that because we’ve shared so much life and conversations that we talk the same. Yeah. We say words the same. Yeah. Most of it comes from pronunciation of words. Like we say the word unique the same way. Unique. Yeah. So it doesn’t take any effort. Unique. It doesn’t take any effort to- Sing in any of them. To match that. Or in harmony, yeah. Like the intonation, expression. Also interesting about these guys, I mean, who cares too much, right? But- Right. Costello believed he was the main reason for their success. So they split income 60/40. Oh, shit. That’s it, that’s dicey. Yeah, mm-mm. That’s dicey. Yeah, yeah, that’s not, I don’t like that. I don’t like that. One of them asserting like a 10% edge. What? A 20% edge. Well, 20% net. Yeah. I guess that is the way to say it. So, all right, they’re disqualified. Disqualified because of that. Key and Peele. You know Key and Peele. Now, oh, man. Such an amazing sketch show when it comes to comedy duos, like they were in every sketch together, and you were always looking forward to what each of them was gonna do. And they each did different things. They, well. Yeah. Even when they, like the type of characters that they could really play, even if you use the same adjectives to describe both characters, like over the top, the way that they were over the top, it’s like they would take the same thing but still be very different and complimentary. And so because you have to, because they’re always interacting with each other. The fact that they could create sketch, after sketch, after sketch, and have this dynamic interaction that you never got tired of- Mm-hmm. Is, I mean, and they weren’t like Abbott and Costello, I think we’re just playing the characters that they developed. And it’s like what we do on “Good Mythical Morning.” We’re embodying the caricatured versions of ourselves. Right. Day in, day out, and living that. They would reinvent themselves from the ground up for every single sketch. Yeah. And then they rarely did sequels. I mean, so if you just think about that, the fact that they were able to form combination after combination, it’s like they created iconic, fictional comedy duos like a factory. I mean, because if you throw out like Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly, they got a handful of movies that are iconic and amazing, and I mean, they’re a great duo, but you know, they’re also not a duo, they’re not. Yeah, they do a whole lot on their own. You know, but so they did what Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly did in, you know, a handful of movies. They did that again, and again, and again, episode after episode- But- Multiple seasons. Okay, well it goes without saying that in terms of the comedic output, the how much it makes me laugh of anything that’s on the list, it’s like most consistently Key and Peele is gonna win. So in terms of what they made to- Caliber, yes, caliber. But let’s talk about the demerits, okay? They did it for a certain amount of time. Mm-hmm. And at this point, it’s over, right? At this point it’s over. Oh yeah. They each had the thing that they wanted to do. And you know, they’re both incredibly talented. They broke up and they’re thriving as individuals. Yeah. In separate ways. And like in Jordan’s case, like in a way that unless you knew them well, you would not have known he was sitting on like, one of the best filmmakers of our time. Yes. You know, you would- So now that’s his identity, it’s eclipsed. I mean, you can almost forget about Key and Peele, when your starting point is “Monkey Paw” movies. And so if what you are doing, if what one person is doing is beginning to eclipse what the duo did together, that’s a demerit man. Yeah, mm-hmm. What do you want me to tell you? Tim and Eric? You know, Tim and Eric- Much respect to Tim and Eric for forging a tone of comedy. They basically invented the tone, yeah. That is just bewildering. I mean, yeah, to just, to be so distinct, in terms of a brand. But they do stuff separately. I mean, but they’ve done it in a way that- They don’t do anything. They do very little together right now. I did see ’em- Right. I did notice. But you know they will come back together- And- And everyone will be elated. An AP news, TikTok, that was, you know, occasionally during the strike, they’ll have an actor out on the picket line, kind of talking or whatever. Like ripping a CEO, a new one. And it was Tim and Eric, and they were talking like the protestors, and they were legitimately protesting, but doing it in a very Tim and Eric way- They were there. On the AP news. Oh, yes. And it was just- I love it. It was great. They were talking about, they had this about AI, and they were saying, “A, I think this.” Like they were saying A, and then I. And it was, it just struck me as so silly. So dumb. Yeah, but you’re, I don’t question, exactly. Even if you didn’t tell me that, I don’t question that they’re still a duo, even though they’re not doing things right now. They did that. And I know that they will, I just believe- Well, Tim has his- They’ll keep doing that. Tim kind of has his, for lack of a better word, digital presence, right? In the “Office Hour” stuff that he does that pops up in my TikTok feed. Yeah. And then Eric is doing more of the, like, traditional acting stuff. He’ll pop up and, “Oh, he’s on this show. Oh, he’s on that movie.” Right. You know, Tim will do that too. Tim was in “Us.” Yeah. Jordan Peele. But- I mean, I’m not gonna put him above Key and Peele. No, I don’t think you can. I don’t think you can. Going back black and white, Laurel and Hardy. I just, you know. I’m sure that if we’re trying- I think that- To quantify the way that these guys contributed to the history of comedy, we would probably give it to them, but like, we just don’t know anything. We can’t do it. I mean, I know what they look like, and I’ve like, can see some sketches, but I’m not one of those- That’s everybody we got. Neither one of us is the kind of person that goes back to watch stuff that’s supposed to like influence like, when you’re learning about some scientific concepts or whatever, there’s a certain type of person that’s like, I’m gonna go back and I’m gonna read everything that led up to this point, so I fully understand it in context. Okay. And there are people that do that with entertainment. They’re like, “Well, you know, the only reason that Tarantino makes movies the way that he does, is because of this filmmaker and this filmmaker.” Laurel and Hardy. And I know that we should probably be educated in this way, but neither one of us, we don’t know anything about this stuff. Don’t take it apologetic, though. So, no, so what I’m telling you is that, this is, I’m not saying this is the defendant. I don’t give a shit about black and white. So you think if something is in black and white, it’s bad? If it’s not in wide screen, I won’t watch it. Well… If it’s not in 4K, it’s not for me. As I told you last year or the year before, I had this- Our show is not in 4K, by the way. I had this judgmental tone about- It will be soon, we’re working on it, hopefully. I had this judgmental tone about “It’s a Wonderful Life,” is that the one? And then I finally did actually watch it. Okay. And it was very good. It’s three hours long though. What else do you have to do? Everything. Categorize stuff. I mean, this is coming from a guy who watches every episode of “Survivor” and you’re complaining about the time that you have? Well, not in one sitting. Well divide it up, man. Dude, we don’t have any other comedy duos. I think I’m gonna have to give it to us. Ooh. I mean, I don’t care. I’ll do it. Okay. Well, I didn’t know we were in the category. Now, if you just search comedy duo, are we even in the conversation? Double Act? Oh, Wiki. Wikipedia is the first thing that comes up. And Laurel and Hardy is the picture. But I’m just gonna do a little search to see. Oh, “Modern-day YouTube channels follow this format.” Okay, well, the paragraph, well it says, “Some examples include Smosh, Dan and Phil, the Game Grumps, and Rhett and Link of the YouTube channel Good Mythical Morning.” What were mentioned 12 times, 2 times. One out of two is what I’ve- Oh, God, that’s it. What’s the second time we’re mentioned- In a list. In a list at the bottom. Okay. Before us, it says Key and Peele had a show on Comedy Central. So we are the last thing mentioned in ’90s to present day comedy duo. Oh, we’re the last great comedy duo. No, we are the most recently mentioned comedy duo on the Wikipedia Double Act entry. I’ll take it. If you exclude, well, and the heading is history. Yeah, history. That’s kind of cool. Hey, okay, then I think we can give it to ourselves. Can we? Listen, obviously, we’re not making sketches and never have made sketches as funny as Key and Peele, but hey, we’re still doing it. We’re still together. Yeah. Okay? Should we we argue? Could we argue for ourselves a little bit more? Yeah like, I mean, coming up on 40 years of friendship, build an entire, let’s not do this. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well this is the kind of thing you let other people say about you. Yeah, I mean- You probably shouldn’t even have brought it up. Let’s edit all of our ourself a grand enhancement. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We’re not the best comedy duo of all time. And by edit out, I mean, leave it in, but also leave what I’m saying right now in, you know how this goes. So we’re giving it to… We’re giving it to us. I didn’t say that. I’m giving it to Key and Peele. We’re YouTubers, man. We’re not comedians. All right. Some honorable mentions in the other category. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. Yeah, right. Great duo. There is an and there, not an ampersand. It’s hard to mention one without the other. And it’s cool that they’ve made their first appearance in entertainment as one person. Right, they are sisters. I mean, how often does that happen? They are twins, so two demerits. But the fact that they’re, no. And then now they have another sister who’s more famous than them. But all those VHS sales. Well, they’re just riding high. Jamie, I noticed that you- They live together? You didn’t include the Island Boys on this list. Yeah, what’s up with that? Oh, the Island, well… The Island Boys. It’s not too late. It’s not too late. They’re very- Pretty. Are they still big? Oh, they’re huge. Like, do people still even talk about them? They’re awesome. We love them. Really? I don’t know anything about ’em, but I love them. Okay, well you should probably take the- Very interesting. Just a word to the wise. You know, if you don’t know anything about someone- Don’t say you love them. Don’t say, “I love them.” I am against everything that- You don’t have to say that either. I should be against. Have they been, they’re bad people? I don’t know any- I was just joking. I don’t know anything about ’em, but I- I just like the word the Island Boys, sounds cool to me. So you don’t, when I say the Island Boys- I’ve seen a picture of ’em. So, okay. Face tats. I don’t know anything about ’em. Big hair. But I’m just saying, just based on the little bit that I have clips here and there that I’ve seen, I would not say- I was being facetious. I endorse anything about the Island Boys. I was being facetious. God. Man, see if Eric Wareheim- Shouldn’t have brought him up. Was my comedic partner, he would’ve taken that and ran with it. He would’ve loved him too. Facetiously. Yeah, yeah, that’s right. That’s right. Penn and Teller. Well, one of ’em doesn’t talk, but he does now. But they both carries a lot of weight. He does now, though. Oh, he does? He does on their “Fool Me” show. He talks now, pretty sure. They have longevity. They’re magicians. That’s a demerit. They’re the best magician duo, easily. Well, hold on. Yeah, think about it. Let’s not get hasty here. I mean, if I search- Well, name another magician. Magician. Because those tiger guys were not magicians, were they? Wikipedia has a magician duos, Barry and Stuart. Okay. The Davenport- Siegfried and Roy. Siegfried and Roy. That is Tiger. That ended badly. Yeah, there’s no one I recognize here, except for Siegfried and Roy. What happened to them? Well, one of ’em got attacked by a tiger. Go figure. They both died in the past three years. But not together. And that was a missed opportunity. Penn and Teller gets mad props from us. They’ve had multiple shows. I would like to see their Vegas show, but like television show bullshit. It was fun. Very distinct and complimentary personalities. It works. No need for tigers. If a tiger is your prop, you’re not a duo anymore, you know. All right, let me give you this. Hanna Barbera. This is a duo. I wouldn’t even know they were a duo. They don’t, right, because- I just thought it was a person named Hanna Barbera. No, it’s two people. William Hanna and Joe Barbera are you know- Again, I know nothing about this. They invented “Tom and Jerry,” “Yogi Bear,” “The Jetsons,” “The Flintstones.” Okay, there’s lot of love here. There’s a lot of love. “Scooby-Doo,” “Johnny Quest.” All right. Trixie Mattel and Katya. Did I say that right? Yes. Okay. They have a very, very popular podcast. They’re hilarious together. Okay. That’s Jamie’s entry. That is mine. That’s your favorite? Maybe not of- Duo of all time? Not of all time. Okay. Those, and I guess Tenacious D, Silent Bob and Jay, otherwise known as Jay and Silent Bob. We’ll just throw ’em out there. But I’m given the miscellaneous category. Penn and Teller have swept away with it. Okay, all right. So here we go. The definitive determination of the best duos by category by this duo, Rhett and Link. By this duo. The most recently named duo in the history section of duos on Wikipedia. Let’s put that on a T-shirt. I mean, it is- It’s so easy to change. It’s a bragging right, right? Yeah, by the time this comes out, it’ll be changed. For my rec, I’m gonna go back to a music rec. You gave a good music rec last week. And since we already talked about OutKast, and we’re talking about duos like, I’m going to recommend that you listen to their 1998 album “Aquemini.” “Aquemini” is a Aquarius and a Gemini running shit. ‘Cause one of them, you know, an Aquarius and one was a Gemini. And then that song, like, if you’re gonna listen to a song, listen to “Aquemini.” And because it explores the duality of their duo. So we would be Libremini. It’s a great song. We should release an album called Libremini. Libremini, I like that. It sounds like a novel. Librem and I. My summer with Librem. You got anything else to say about that? You can add- Or now you’re just texting? I was just gonna read a little bit from that. Yeah, “Even the Sun goes down, heroes eventually die. Horoscopes often lie and sometimes why?” “Aquemini.” “Nothing is for sure, nothing is for certain, and nothing lasts forever. But until they close the curtain, it’s him and I.” “Aquemini.” They wrote a song about their friendship. Oh, that’s great. It’s awesome, you know? Yeah. Shout out to Daddy Fat Sax and Three Stacks.

Hi, Rhett and Link, I just wanna call in ’cause I heard you guys talking about places you wanna visit on the new episode of “Ear Biscuits.” And there’s been a lot of conversation about caves. And then when I heard you guys get to concerts, I had to stop listening and immediately call you because there is a concert venue in Tennessee called The Caverns, where it’s actually a cave that they have concerts in. So this might be like the perfect situation for you guys. So I just had a call and let you know. Thanks, love listening to you guys. Have a good day.
