Welcome to Ear Biscuits, the podcast where two lifelong friends talk about life for a long time. I’m Rhett. And I’m Link. This week at the round table of dim lighting, we’re clearing some things up. We’re hearing from you and the voicemails that you leave us because they’ve accumulated. There’s a few we just need… We gotta hear, we gotta respond to your responses, you know? ‘Cause we keep saying, you know, at the end of every Ear Biscuit, we’re like, let us know what you think. ♪ 1-888-EARPOD1 ♪ So we gotta get into that. First though, you notice anything different about me? You notice anything diff- Same old, same old. Emphasis on old. You notice anything different in the way that I’m doing something right now? Have you been doing it all day and I haven’t noticed or did you change it when you sat down here? I literally changed it in your presence just now in the way that I’m doing something. You’re drinking with your left hand. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Well, what do I win? You win me telling you why I’m drinking with my left hand. Why you drinking with your left hand? You notice it’s me doing anything right now? Drinking with your left hand, but you already do. And so I don’t know how beneficial this is gonna be for you, okay? Because I can do things with both hands. But this may be beneficial for those of you out there who are very strongly one-handed, right? Link’s got, he’s an enigma. I divide and conquer, you know? But you did not make a conscious decision. No, it just happened. Right, do you drink with your left hand on this podcast because it’s on the outside and not on the inside? Yeah, I can drink with either hand like a champ. Also the desk that we sit at for GMM, Yep. similar arrangement, the the cup is on, the mug is on your left. Yep. And my wrist, my right wrist is hurt right now. So I’m trying to actually Oh, I’m sorry. use it, thank you. Use it less. I do not know how I hurt it. I’m 46 years old or am I 45? You’re 45. How old am I? I’m good. I’m 45 years old. I find that things hurt and I don’t know why and then two weeks later it’s still hurting. May need a brace. I have one. So again, this is one of those things that I had heard but then when you start hearing it over and over again from seemingly qualified people on TikTok, like people who have like MD in the name of their TikTok channel, and you’re like, I guess it means they’re a doctor. But then I actually did look it up to make sure that this was legitimate. So- I guess, I think I know where you’re going with it. If you start doing things with your other hand, it is apparently really great for your brain. And it literally can address like brain fog and so I’m so right-handed. I am so right-handed. How right-handed are you? I’m so right-handed that I do everything with my right hand. And I don’t, you know what I’m saying? Again, we’re so strange. I don’t have an explanation for that. I don’t know how much you can benefit from this. I honestly don’t. The fact that you hold your phone with your left hand, and we’ve been through this before. It’s wild. Like some of the stuff that you do with your left hand is just- I exclusively use my phone with my left hand and I’m right-handed and that is wild, isn’t it? I think you’re ambidextrous. I just think that you’re much more ambidextrous than you really realize. I don’t even know how to use my right hand. You hold a microphone with your left hand. I’m saying that most people who are very one-handed- It’s ’cause I keep my dominant hand ready for action. But I’m saying the fact that you didn’t make a conscious choice for any of that stuff means that you naturally aren’t really strongly one-handed. Right. Right? Or that I’m just brilliant. Could be. The number one thing that they tell you to do is to start brushing your teeth with your left hand, with your other hand. Okay. Now are you a right-handed tooth brusher? That’s high stakes. Definitely right-handed toothbrusher. Are you a right-handed? When you shave, do you shave the right side of your face with the right hand and then switch the razor? No, again, that is too high stakes to start going with the other hand too. I’m so right-handed. Like I brush every hair with the right hand. I shave every hair, well, I don’t shave, but I shave up here and I shave my neck. Yeah, I do all that with with my right hand. I shave the back of my neck sometimes with a two mirror situation. And you know what, I will break out the left hand for this side because it’s very difficult with the mirror, but- Well, there you go. What about driving a car? Are you seriously have your, if you’re gonna drive a one hand, it’s the right hand on the steering wheel? No, I drive, I… No, I steer, I can steer with my left hand. Yeah, that- But do you more often steer with your left hand? I more often steer with my left hand because I did learn how to drive a stick shift at some point, so. That’s not the reason though. The reason is just because everything else is on the right side of the car. Radio, cups. Right, exactly. So it’s functional. I’m just saying it’s functional. So in the times when it’s been functional, yes, but like, there’s no increased function in brushing my teeth with my left hand. And so most people just brush their teeth with their on hand. So the benefits you can look- Your on? Did you say on hand? On hand and off hand. Oh. I don’t know, I just made it up. Okay. Your main hand and your second hand. But the benefits are basically there’s a bunch of them. Stuff that happens in your brain, things that get activated, new pathways get activated, and it’s one of the, you know, there’s all these things that you can do to sort of stave off dementia and you know, whether it’s like an actual diagnosis of dementia or whether or not it’s just brain health in general and doing things with your other hand, learning new things. It’s like learning a new language. And for the past two days, I’ve been brushing with a left hand and I am, boy, I’m missing some stuff. I know you are. But I will break through. Now I’m spending extra time ’cause I’m like, whoa, oh, oh, I’m finding new angles. And I’m like, oh, well this is interesting. I’m hitting that in a different way. And of course I have an electric toothbrush, so I don’t have to do too much work. You have an electric toothbrush? Yeah. So it’s just placement. It’s just making sure it’s placed in the right place. And I, you know, after my dentist appointment where the dentist was like, you know, you need to come every four months and I’ve been fighting, you know? I’ve been fighting. I got the 45 degrees, so I’ve gotta worry about the angle. The dentist thing and this information, like every piece of information, you’re are not able to ignore information. That’s what you need to work on. Is that a problem? I think so. I think you’re, I think- Hold on, hold on, I’m bringing something of benefit to myself and to anyone else who will listen and your reaction is you can’t ignore information as if I have a problem? Well- With this particular information, this is beautiful information. It’s great, but at a certain point, I’m just concerned for, it’s like- You think my brain’s gonna fill up? What do you worry about? Maybe it’s good for your brain, but it’s not good for you- My brain empties things all the time. Like this is the deal. I don’t remember any of the lyrics to our early songs. You do. Those get emptied out. They keep getting emptied out. So you hold onto those and I’m gonna keep getting the new stuff. And then if I need to think about the lyrics to like “Nerd Versus Geek”, I’ll just bring ’em up on the internet or I’ll ask you. Yeah. So I have not switched hands brushing, but I have switched my order of brushing. I’ve reversed that. And I think that’s kind of a brain stimulation thing. Instead of starting in the upper left, I start in the upper right ’cause I started to get concerned that the teeth on the upper left side of my mouth are getting, Being neglected. no, that’s where I start. They’re first fruits. They’re getting the best toothpaste. Oh, toothpaste, yeah. And then the toothpaste is gone by the time I get down here in my established route. So I’m reversing my route. Like a paperboy. I should reverse my hand and my route. So you brush your teeth- So you need to reverse your route. Well, I’m figuring all, I mean, I’m establishing… It’s like a baby. It’s like they gave me the arm of a baby. Yeah. You know what I’m saying? This baby has no idea how to brush its teeth. It doesn’t even understand what it’s doing. It feels so dumb. This hand feels so dumb. Yeah. This hand, this hand is exquisite. Like the right hand, it’s like, in fact, I realized that I had gotten to a place because I used to brush with just a manual, an old school brush. And I had a little special little, little, just little vibration that I had put in and I would move it around, you know, like circular. Right, right, right. And then I realized that it basically was just built in. In my hand, was this built in thing that would just keep it moving. Gyration. And now I’m trying to gain it with this and I’m so far from that. Yeah. This is still a baby hand, still trying to brush adult teeth. And then I’m gonna do the shaving thing, I’m gonna start brushing, I’m going left hand or as many things as I possibly can. What else? Writing. No, uh-huh. Why not? I don’t ever write anything, you know, I type. I’m switching my hands on the keyboard to the other side, no. Well, things that you do with both hands, like play a guitar, it’s not gonna help you to, I mean, switching it would create new pathways, but that would be damn difficult. It would be much harder for the right hand Than brushing your teeth. to learn how to play chords on a, that that would be the problem, yeah. But that would be good for your brain to learn something new. I am doing a version of this and I told you about it in the Car Biscuit, which is exclusive to the Mythical Society. So I will share this information here, but if you really want the most candid car conversations you’ve ever witnessed, I mean, you need to check it out. The Car Biscuits on a Mythical Society every month. Anyway and I’m learning some new DJ skills and one of those is that you do, you manipulate the turntable on your right, of course with your right hand and then the mixer with your left hand and then to manipulate the turntable on your left, you really should do that with your left hand, so then your right hand moves to the mixer. You should never cross. Right, you don’t cross your hands. So at that point, it’s a mirrored thing. It’s like brushing with the right hand, brushing with the left hand. Yeah. And I don’t know what it is. Like you were like, that’s good for your brain and Christie’s also like, oh, that’s good for your brain. Everybody’s so excited about when Link does something that would help his brain. I don’t know how to interpret that. You know, people who love me light up when they think I’m doing something to help my brain. I think it’s because, and this, I’m not, this isn’t the jokey answer, this is the true answer. Is that because- So this might hurt then. No, no, it’s because Christy has probably read, just like I have read, that routine oriented people are much more susceptible Get in a brain rut. to brain issues as they age, right? So like, if you are like, I got this thing that I do and I do it the same way every day, then and again, you know, I’m no, I’m just a guy who goes on the internet and so I don’t, I’m not quoting studies or whatever, but when I’ve gotten that information about this, they’re like, changing up your routines in general is a great way to keep your brain engaged. And so because you’re so routine oriented, I think that’s why the people in your life are like, hey, you know, they’re like, make sure you’re not getting into a rut on this because you do a lot of things that are very much like, you can imagine that the 85-year-old Link Right. is gonna live a lot like the 45-year-old Link. And I am 45. You are, see? And nothing more than that. And you didn’t know that immediately. So we are a little- Well who really does at this point? Well I did, but it’s okay. I can’t remember what I was gonna say now and that’s also not a joke. You gotta brush with your, well, you gotta brush with something else. What did I start saying? Maybe a foot. You gotta move to the feet. Crap, I’ve fallen right into your trap. It is true, I’m very oriented. DJ. Routine oriented, no, routine oriented. But even at this ripe old age of 45, with every routine, I’m still constantly scrutinizing new things to change and tweak about my routine. So I’m- You’re engaged in the routine. I’m very engaged. I’m not mindless with it. Okay, that’s probably helpful. But what are you gonna do with your left hand? You’re gonna start opening doors with your left hand? I’ve been thinking a lot about it and I do think that, I do think that holding my phone with my left hand, scrolling, one hand texting, that kind thing. You should have a bracelet on your right hand or a glove or a mitten or just wear a sling. I mean, when I brought my collarbone, I had to use that left hand a lot. Christie, she fell off a bar stool when she was in kindergarten. Might have been first grade ’cause she had a drinking problem as a kindergartner. Yeah, she was just always propped up on those bar stools, guzzling the sippy drinks. It happens, it happens. She fell off, broke her arm, and so she had to learn to write with her right hand, which she’s left-handed. Yeah and that is- And now she’s, she would wow her geometry students when she taught high school when we first got married by writing with both hands on the board. At the same time? At the same time, yeah. She’d write stuff. That is another thing that I’ve thought about is I’ve done it, I’ve been like, who knows? Maybe I’ll break your arm. Break your arm. Maybe something will happen in my right hand. And then your left hand is like, yeah, I’ve been in the wings waiting for this moment. I’ve brushed quite a bit, I’ve shaving. So the kicker is motivating you by you might lose a hand. This is good for my brain and also if I lose a hand. Well, no, here’s the thing. Well first of all, I like just to keep my brain engaged. It’s a fun little exercise in general. And I’ve always, you know, learning a language is just… Yeah. Like legitimately learning a language is like, until I find myself immersed in another culture, it’s not gonna happen. Well I do have a coupon code for you. I know, but I’m saying that like, becoming fluent in another language, which is like a dream, but not realistic but becoming fluent in left-handed brushing feels like a good baby step. You can do that. And accomplishes not to the same degree probably, but a similar thing. Like just learning something new. I just want to, I wanna keep doing that, right? You know, to be like, oh, well let’s learn how to do this thing or learn about this concept, but the thing is, is that when it comes to the physical, it’s doing something different than just like, oh, reading another book about something new, which is probably all going to the same place. Well, I really backed into it with this learning how to DJ, you know? Now I’m taking a DJ Jazzy Jeff course and I’m actually learning all this stuff. And you’re doing it. I was like, wow, I’ve really tricked myself into learning something new. That’s the best way to do it. I found I was like, whoa, whoa, hold on, wait a second. I’m learning, I’m learning something. It’s mental, it’s physical, it involves problem solving. I’ve spent most of my time just trying to make my equipment work, not just learn the techniques, but like, yeah, I’m actually feeling good about that. But I’m gonna start using… I’ll use my phone with my right hand and I’ll do more love making techniques with my left hand. No, yes, with my right hand as well. So yeah, let’s talk about that for a moment. You know, we can use. I’d rather not. How does one… How does one decide that they are going to, I mean touch themselves. You talking about when I’m as a, as a little teen boy? Yeah like as a teen, as a teen boy, you are like, I’m gonna do this thing I don’t know. and you’re gonna start with the left hand. What would you, was the right hand tied somewhere? Like literally, how does that happen? Like I don’t- Yeah, well it was fuzzy handcuffed to my To me, that is a proof that you’re ambidextrous. bedpost. I mean, how could you begin manipulating yourself with the other hand? I don’t know. I really don’t know. It’s closer to it. Maybe my left- Does it bend that way? I think my left, no. I think my left arm is longer. That must be what it is. But it is… I don’t know. Like I’m looking for an explanation, right? It is so strange, isn’t it? It is strange. So I’m gonna use my left, and obviously it wasn’t calculated and the fact that it wasn’t calculated is like, oh, like when I’m in my body, like right now, if you were to enter my body, you would feel that one hand A pull to the right hand. was ready for anything. Like I think, I mean it might, you would need an adjustment period to understand how capable this right-hand is. Maybe it has something to do with baseball. And then you would be flabbergasted at how baby like the left-handed feels. You’re like, is this the same guy? But I assume. But baseball, I was always a good catcher ’cause I was using what I thought was my off hand to catch. Well, baseball is weird. You know, it’s funny ’cause Shepherd has taken up baseball, which, just out of the blue, What? he’s like I’m playing baseball and I was like, oh, I didn’t, you know? I didn’t know, like Shepherd’s never really been too much about sports and I’ve never, I never pushed it, you know? But he on his own is like me and some friends are playing baseball. So we got gloves and a ball and we played catch the other day and I was like, oh, this is how, I haven’t done this ’cause me and didn’t really play baseball. But yeah, it’s funny how- Vince meaning father throwing a baseball to his son. Is that what you were calling this? The act of catching a ball with your left hand and then throwing it. It’s amazing how quickly it comes back. But it’s so interesting that like, it feels, anything that you’ve actually trained your left hand to do, it’s like, yep, not awkward. Like catching feels awkward with the right hand. It feels awkward to think about that. But put a glove on this- Well it does and it doesn’t. I mean I can catch a ball. I can catch a ball no I can catch a ball. with either hand because of Tee-ball, you know? ‘Cause I could always catch a ball with my right hand. But from the get, I was trained to catch a ball with the mitt on my left hand. It’s kinda like catching a Frisbee with one hand. You’re right, I’ll catch a Frisbee with my right hand by itself sometimes. Yeah. But I could also do it with my left hand because of baseball. Yeah. I wonder if people who don’t play baseball, I mean they probably can’t catch with their left hand. I don’t know, we gotta find some people and throw stuff at ’em. I mean, did you ever play baseball, Jamie? No, not really. I mean- So can you catch with your left hand? Yeah. No, don’t just say yeah. Yeah, I can though. Like I’m throwing an invisible thing. Prove it. Well here, you wanna toss my hat to me? Yeah. Okay, alright. See I just caught it with my left hand. Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, throw it back. Okay, that’s pretty cool. You didn’t even see it coming. Yeah, I didn’t. It was at the table. They’re kinda low. It’s rather dirty now. There’s no way to throw it to you right here. Yeah, you’re so protected back there. I know, there’s so many things. Your left hand did not move. Well because I saw it come down this way. Yeah okay, all right. Throw it again. Okay, throw it. You gotta throw it in this area. Throws with the right. Okay, maybe I can’t. Missed. I missed. Missed, missed, missed. I missed the hat but I swear like back in the because we used to play, when you’re not playing baseball, you also just used to play like throw the ball around. Yeah. yeah but with you dominant hand. You catch. You would throw and catch with the same hand. But if it goes over there, you reach naturally that side. Yeah that’s what I’m saying. Well there’s also, okay, this is like, this is like kind of like a beer drinking game. It’s called beer die. You have to throw a die up and you have to go and run and catch it. And so you can only catch with one hand. So I kind of like- ‘Cause your beer’s in the other hand? Well that’s just the thing. If you catch with two hands and you have to drink. Oh, okay. Yeah, so you can catch with one hand, so that’s why I learned to kind of catch with my left hand ’cause if the die bounces that way, you gotta go that way, it’s easier. Okay. Yeah. It just depends- But didn’t be objective to drink though. No, and if you make yourself drink in that one, you’ll be… That’s a problem. That’s a problem ’cause it’ll happen a lot. I just think it depends on- You didn’t really support our theory, but that’s okay. You don’t have to. You’re on parts. I know, I’m sorry. Okay, well- It just depends on what your activities of life. I feel so weird. I’m so disconnected. The brushing the teeth thing, that I can’t even. That sounds weird to me. You gotta start. That’s a good one. Also, starting on the top sounds weird to me. Oh really? I start on the bottom. No, no, no, you wanna start on the top that way even though it doesn’t get the good paste on the bottom, if you’re going there in a delayed routine, the paste will travel from the top to the bottom and you might still get some good paste. Oh, okay. I don’t know if you get bad paste at the end. I know how it is. I agree with starting on the top. That’s just how I overthink this. But I think that it’s, I think by the time you get to the bottom, you’ve suds. Yeah, probably. You got suds in there. You know what I’m saying? I do. I’m not gonna disagree with that. Show ’em the shirt. We’re promoting this shirt. Yes, this is a- It’s a cool shirt. What are we calling this? We’re calling it the GMM set in a bottle tee because we’ve got the desk inside of a bottle, there’s a wave, you know, it’s like a wooden ship. I like it. I like these, you know, I like these neutral colors. I’m always a fan of that. Yeah and it’s soft too. It’s easy to say yes too. I dunno if you could tell if you’re watching the video, it’s a light, it’s an off-white. It’s an off-white. It’s not white. I would call it Canvas, which kind of evokes a sailboat, which is like, a oceanic. Yes, papyrus, if you will. Where could one get? Oh, you can get a mythical.com. Okay. That’s where you get all the things you need. Ear Biscuits is supported by Chime.

Play a voicemail for us, please. All right. Use your left hand to activate it, yeah. Left hand? Hey, Rhett and Link. It’s Tiffany from North Carolina. And this might be a weird question, but now I’m interested in the pillow conversation that Link was having with Quavo. What is his preferred pillow? Thanks. Oh God. Yeah, well, you know what, I have to talk about it again now, Rhett. You know? You didn’t talk about this in your favorite purchases of the year of one year? I probably did. Okay. I mean, I look for any opportunity with a rapper or a friend or on a podcast or sometimes I just talk to myself out loud about my pillow. But I guess you missed that Ear Biscuit, which totally fine. I’m more than happy to tell you about it again. I have a cylindrical pillow. It’s like a pipe filled with husks. What kind of husks? I can’t quite remember what they’re called right now, but they’re hard. It’s probably buckwheat. Buckwheat, that’s it. And you fill this thing up with ’em and then it’s hard. I had all these problems with my shoulder, I was sleeping on my side, and then I started having neck problems and my physical therapist sold me this pillow from Sachi, not a sponsor. You can get different types, but this is, you can refill this one with more buckwheat. And it- Are you constantly eating the buckwheat? No, it just, over time they get scrunched down and it kind of erodes inside. It gets broken down into- Have you refilled it yet? Oh yeah, I refilled it, yeah. Do you empty old and put in new? Or do you just put more? Yes, I emptied it completely and then washed it. And then I filled it up again. It forces me to sleep on my back because if you sleep on your side, you’re sleeping on your ear on this thing and that’s painful. So then I remember, oh, I’ve decided I’m gonna sleep on my back because that helped create proper alignment for my neck, which was getting outta whack and sleeping on my side for years with like sleeping on my arm up like this messed up my shoulder. My rotator cuff was like really painful. And it’s not, it doesn’t hurt anymore because I don’t sleep on my side, but it still hurts at certain points. Because I- Did you put your arm on top of the pillow or would you put the pillow in between the arm and the head? Sometimes the pillow would be in between my head and my arm, but my arm would be up. My hand would be behind my head, like on my, the center of my back and my ear would be kind of on my wrist. And what I was doing every night for over a year was I was grinding the bone into the socket and wearing it away. Good, good. And I was told that it would never regenerate. But I’ve found, I went to physical therapy, I found some relief. And now to maintain that, I sleep on my back. So many positives sleeping on your back. This pillow makes that happen and it just has all these other health benefits, right? With all types of alignment. You want to be able to sleep in your back. It’s good for your face apparently. To not smush it every night? I think just because gravity is like like pushing Pulling everything back. It’s like a facelift. against your face versus like your skin slowly falling off of your face to the side. So I, really, it took me a few weeks to get used to my pillow and I was waking up a lot, but I literally train myself to just sleep on my back. And now the pillow’s small. So I take it with me whenever I go on any trip. Even if it’s just one night. I’ll shove it in my computer bag, it’ll like fit in there, like a carry on, and I just keep it with me. It’s my new best friend. Oh, thanks. I just can’t stop talking about him to rappers. And this is exactly what I told Quavo. I was like, how do you sleep? He was just like, I was like, do you have a special pillow? I mean, it’s probably got diamonds encrusted on it, like your hat right now. That’s probably not comfortable. And he laughed and said, “Nah man, I don’t have a pillow. I sleep on my arm.” I was like, and then I just let him have it. Yeah, he really walked right into it. I let him have it. I was like, when you get to be my age, you’re gonna have shoulder problems, you’re gonna be up there on stage going, yo, yo, hey, hey. That’s what they do. And then it’s gonna be hurting. You know, you want to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and you want to be able to raise the roof. You know what I’m saying? And this pillow’s gonna do it for you. I don’t remember you saying all that, but you said a form of that. He was smiling a lot. Yeah, he was tripping out a little bit. And I was caring for him. in the only way that I knew how. So thanks for asking about my pillow. I highly recommend it. I mean, sleeping on your back, there’s just so many things that other people, when people get injuries and then they’re like, yeah, now I have to sleep on my back, but I can’t do it. If you do yourself a lot of favor by training yourself. Like pick a month. Man, it’s harder than your- And just train yourself to sleep on your back. You know, I bought a contraption that I know forced me to I know. sleep on my back and I couldn’t do it. Yeah, but you didn’t commit to it enough and maybe you just needed my pillow. Well here’s another aspect of, well, not only did I had, not only did I try the thing that puts these metal, these plastic balls Balls. on each side of you and also your stomach, I would never sleep in my stomach, but not only did I have that, but I had a pillow that had like a crevice in it, you know, that like settled your head in there. A number of things, number of complicating factors. So it’s not either you sleep on your side with your hair, with your arm up Right. or you sleep on your back. Right. I don’t do that, Most people who sleep on their side just sleep. I sleep in like the fetal position directly on the pillow, right? And I’m not really experiencing any problems right now. I tried to sleep on my back, I would like to sleep on my back, but I need a long runway in which quality of sleep isn’t really needed Right. because like, I don’t have neck problems or serious back problems right now. But the other thing is, is I find myself in scenarios where I’m too big to sleep on my back. So if we do, if we have the luxury of, you know, there’s sometimes that we fly when we’re on the right kind of plane and it’s going to the right kind of place and we can get those full lay down seats, right? Oh yeah. And they’re the best. I can’t lay down on my back in those because I’m too long. You’re too long. And so I have to lay on my side. And you can imagine laying on your side on one of those, it’s not even. That’s not comfortable. It’s not great. That’s why I don’t really fall asleep that much. You’re 6’7, I’ll give you a pass. And also like on the tour bus, if I sleep on my back, my head and my feet are touching both walls. Yeah, you got it. You got it. So I don’t think I like, I think if I made a commitment to sleeping on my back and all of a sudden I needed to be on my back, I would be more inconvenienced in uncomfortable sleeping situations. You need to sleep on your back with your knees pulled up to your chest like you’re doing a cannon ball into a pool. That feels like it would be- So you need to train yourself to do that. Counterproductive to sleep. Well that’s what you need to do. I mean, my dad has slept a whole life on his stomach with no pillow. Where are his arms? Just on the side or up, I don’t know. Yeah, it’s tough. Like, I don’t know. I’m not 100% sure he is still doing that. But as a kid, I actually haven’t seen my father sleep in many years, you know? When was the last time you saw your dad sleep? I don’t make a habit of watching my dad sleep. Right, yeah. I mean he falls asleep in recliners and in chair, in upright positions a lot whenever on vacationing. I’ve probably seen my dad sleep in that, but in his bed. It’s on his stomach. Like that’s so bad for you. Like how has he made it? Yeah, don’t do that. I’ve gotten so used to my pillow that now I have actually started sleeping on my side with it again because the pain of smushing my ear is still something I can Is worth it. sleep through because the pain of sleeping on this pillow is something I’m used to. Well the thing I think I need to do- It’s like sleeping on a log. Yeah, I’ve seen it. It is very log like. But whenever I travel, the reason why I travel with it is also because if you get the wrong pillow at like a random hotel, that could really screw up, give you a crank in that neck, man. Oh, I agree with that. So having the consistency of a pillow that you can take everywhere with you is also a nice thing. But you got that hump. They make a side pillow that’s a cube. Lando has that. He loves it. So if I had the cube and you had the log, it’s like two men who travel with shapes. Yeah but the cube is big. Lando travels with his cube. Oh it is? Because how big is it? I mean, it’s as big as a full-sized pillow, but it’s, I mean it looks like, it looks it’s one piece of a like constructing a, a shed. No, I saw one on the internet that was literally a cube. It was equal sided. It wasn’t- Yeah, that’s, okay. And it looks like head size. And it’s mushy. Yeah and it just felt like I could have this cube. Yeah, you could. And put it in bags. Yeah, you could probably vacuum seal that thing. Alright, let’s move on to another voicemail. Hi Rhett and Link. My name’s Eliza and I have a very, very important hypothetical for you. Picture this, the 342nd annual Hunger Games are happening this year. And the rules state that all tributes will be members of the Mythical cast and group. How does it go down? What district is everyone assigned to? Who wins? Who teams up? Who hides in a tree? Who accidentally eats a poisonous potato? Let me know. Bye. Was there a poisonous potato in “Hunger Games”? I don’t remember poisonous potato. Maybe. I’ve seen two of “The Hunger Games”. The first one and the most recent one. The prequel, you mean. Yeah, we’re not well versed in “The Hunger Games”, but I do know the principle of like, they shove everybody into the arena and then you’re supposed to kill each other. There is a poisonous potato in “Hunger Games”. Okay. Well it’s gonna be hard to speak, speak for the crew. There may be some conjecture, but let’s focus more on ourselves. We might broaden it a little bit, but like, you know the scenario, they release you and you gotta, you kill or be killed. Last person standing wins. You can hide and or you can just start, just start wailing on people. I think I would’ve done pretty well in my 20s. I think I would’ve done okay in my 30s. But now, I have, so like, I mean, first of all- You’re already highlighting the reason why it’s not older people. You’re the one who needs a pillow. You don’t get to take your fricking log pillow into “The Hunger Games”. So your shoulder’s gonna be- I can any log as a pillow. Your shoulder’s gonna be hurting. I’m gonna find a hole with a log and I’m gonna go to sleep until everybody else dies. Like I’m serious, the main problem would be that if I had to sleep in a weird situation, I would wake up hurting and then I would be just totally there for the taking. Like anyone could incapacitate me because I would be like, I got a bad neck today. This is the reason why I will never go on “Survivor”. I mean, you know we watch “Survivor” religiously as a family. And I’ve never, I’ve watched it. so I know I would never endeavor to be on this thing. You’re sleeping out in the wild. You’re given nothing. You have to build a shelter. They’re laying on bamboo and sometimes they talk about how they’re sleep deprived. And I slept. I went to bed at 09:06 last night. Wow, what happened? That’s my routine. I thought the music comes on at 09:30. It comes on at nine o’clock now. Oh. And I got up at six… I got up at 06:08. So I slept for nine hours. That’s a lot of sleep. That’s a good, that’s a adequate. That’s more than adequate. And my ring gave me a score of 90, 90, 9, 0. Oh I would expect higher if you nine hours. That would put me in the 95s, man. The dogs still wake me up in the night. Oh, okay. You know, there’s still like some restlessness, but… So in “The Hunger Games”, I guess I’ve just talked myself outta sleeping. The sleep would be the main problem. It just really would. I don’t know what it would be like. I mean, look to get down to it, to kill somebody. I just don’t, I think- That would be the easiest thing for me. I think… Somebody who was attacking me, I’m not saying I don’t, I’m not gonna pick somebody off, but somebody who was trying to kill me, I wouldn’t have a hesitation in killing them from a moral standpoint. My hesitation would be my physical limitations. I would be like, man, if I really go for this, I know I’m gonna get hurt. Sometimes- If I tried to stab you? Like I was on a ladder in the past three or four months and I thought I was on the last step and I was on the second step. Oh yeah, okay, yeah. In just that calculation of like eight inches, You were going down, right. like all of a sudden I like hit the ground kind of funny and it was just like, oh, like in between my shoulder blades. I don’t know what’s going on back there. Like, don’t be worried, I’m in generally good health and I’m not in pain, but it doesn’t take much for there to be like, the leverage, things get outta whack, like somebody tries to kill me and I try to get outta the way, I’m hurt. Yeah. It’s a weird feeling when you think you’re about to hit a step and you don’t. Right. It’s also a weird feeling when you don’t think you’re gonna hit a step and you do. Well I have steps that go down to the garage because our house is weird like that. And I go down there every morning to work out and I have a coffee in one hand and my phone in the other hand. Okay. And I don’t turn the lights on to go down the stairs. Because? ‘Cause I got stuff in my hands. You don’t have free hands. And also like, I’m like, I can’t- You’re not wearing socks, are you? No, I put my shoes on before I go down. And I’m usually able to know that I’m at the last step. But that thinking there’s one more step and just hitting more floor, nothing makes you feel like an idiot. I know. Nothing makes you feel like an idiot more than thinking there’s another step. And there’s not, yeah. And you’re, oh, there’s floor. But that’s better than free falling through a step It’s less dangerous. that you didn’t know was there. Yeah, it’s dark steps, weird beds. These are the problems that we would have. Yeah and how would you, I mean, you gotta find a weapon and then kill somebody in “The Hunger Games”. I think, I don’t think I would get hung up on the having killed somebody if I did it. I just don’t know if I would… And I, you know, if I would be able to do it. But not emotionally, physically. I dunno, if you’re gonna kill somebody, how do you do it? What’s the best way to kill somebody while looking away? I think that’s what I wanna know. I don’t wanna see myself do it. Donkey kick. Donkey kick, there it is. A donkey kick with something on your foot, like a spike. A spiked foot donkey kick. Spiked foot donkey kick which makes it hell of a difficulty going downstairs. And they gotta be prob, they’re probably sleeping because you need to make sure you hit ’em. Oh. You gotta like do a donkey kick curb stomp. Donkey curb stomp? Oh god. Yeah, that’s what you gotta do. It’s just to a sleeping person. Yeah. That is morbid, dude. I’m just saying. No, I would feel bad about- Yeah, I think you’re gonna kill some people. I feel bad about killing somebody who was sleeping, unless they had tried to kill me already. With a potato? At that point, I’d be like, all bets are off. That’s what I’m gonna do. Ima poison people with a potato. That’s me. You’re gonna make them look appetizing. Leave them out. Yeah. Yeah, there you go. Would you guys go straight for the cornucopia in the beginning or would you hide first? What’s in there? Weapons? That’s like where the weapons and supplies are typically. I’m not that fast. I like to find cubby holes, but I’m also big. But then you’re on the defensive from the beginning if you don’t go in the cornucopia. You’re more of an offensive guy. I think you’re gonna, I just don’t have the speed. Oh, I used to, but I’m not fast anymore. There’s an age limit, right? I mean, it’s only… It’s like, it’s only- Watchable teens and 20 somethings yeah, it’s like 13 to like 20 in “The Hunger Games”. or something like that. When was the last time you sprinted? Like literally ran as fast as you can. I was walking the dogs and I let Jasper off leash to chase a squirrel in a contained area. And Jade really wanted to join in. So I just dropped her leash. And then I realized that there was a hole in the fence at the far end of this contained area. So then I started running really fast to catch up with Jade. Sprinting them? I wouldn’t have called it sprinting, but it’s as close as I’ve gotten in a long time. I mean, I was just on toe, the balls in my feet. Well, yeah. So I thought about this because every once in a while, well, I’ve been trying to do this thing where I’ll do a little bit of like high intensity interval training, right? Through whether or not it’s like on a rower or, you know, if I’m at a place that has like an exercise bike or whatever. So you know, like one minute on, two minutes off kind of thing. Really just makes you, it is the worst. Like trying to go as hard as you can for a minute, even in just a minute it takes a lot, right? But some people will do this sprinting. And so I’ve done it a couple of mornings where I go out into my neighborhood, which has got a lot of hills, and I’ll try be like, I’m gonna sprint for a minute. And at some point, it kind of hit me. I was like, I’m not really, I’m sprinting like the thing, I’m not sprinting and the thing that’s keeping me from like running as fast as I can is all this concern about my body that my brain is just being like, no, no, no, don’t lift the knees too fast, don’t lift the knees too high. Well, yeah. Like, I don’t even know if I can. And then I was thinking about it and then there was this, you know, another TikTok that said like, you know, the last time you sprint, you probably didn’t realize it was the last time you’ll ever sprint. And then it was like some statistic that, like I’m making this up, but it was something this shocking. Like 95% of people over 35 will never sprint again. It was something like that. I was like, oh shit. Does that made you sad? And when you talk about situations like being in a “Hunger games” situation. Chasing your dog. Oh yeah, or “The Hunger Games”. Like or if I was being chased by somebody who was trying to kill me. Yeah. Yeah. I know at that point I probably have another gear that I’m willing to go into that I’m not willing to go into like when I’m out in my neighborhood trying to work out. Yeah and you definitely feel watched. Sounds like need to hire somebody to try to chase me down to kill me and see if I’ll sprint. Can we move on? Because now I’m sad. Oh yeah. And we sound so old. Well let’s, but hold on. But that TikTok- We don’t even know what “The Hunger Games” is really. The TikTok ended with like a older guy basically sprinting. Getting murdered, oh. And being like, you can start sprinting again. What if Make America Sprint Again? No uh-uh. Next voicemail, please. Make America Sprint Again. That’s our thing. hurry, hurry. All right, it’s the second to last voicemail. Hey, Rhett and Link. I have a suggestion for a topic you guys should talk about. Please, please, please talk about prom. Like your guys’ prom stories. Have people call in prom stories because currently I am getting ready for prom. So love you guys. Say it back, bye-Bye. Love you too. Love you say it back. Is that a thing? Well, I don’t know. I did though. Love you too. Prom. It’s still a thing. Good old prom. Well, you know, I just DJ’ed a prom, you know? A few months back. Lily’s 21st birthday was prom themed because, you know, she didn’t have her prom, her senior prom because it was during the pandemic. Yep. So like, everybody got dressed up and they did the prom thing thing. Everybody had more fun than they would’ve had if they’d have had their prom in 2020. I’ll tell you that. Because prom is wasted on the young. Strong words. I mean, don’t you want to get dressed up and now you can drink and you can inebriate and you can get down with your, your monogamous sexual partner and you don’t have to worry about anybody finding out or like sneaking around or doing something stupid. I will say 100% Responsible party. middle aged prom, would be way better than teenage prom. Oh yeah. Because you just- No sprinting. You figured yourself out and you know who your friends really are. You know, you know what you like and how to have a good time. And you can appreciate the fact that it’s happening. You know, when Lily’s junior year, I think it was Lily, it could have been Lincoln. I think it was Lily. Her prom was underneath the space shuttle. You know, the California Science Center. Yeah. They’ve erected the space shuttle now, it’s vertical. But before, it was on the wheels. It was horizontal and they were partying underneath it. And they didn’t even understand how, like we had our high school prom in our fricking cafeteria in the middle of In the cafeteria. a cornfield essentially is where it was. Not even in the gym. I mean, why was it in the cafeteria not in the gym? So junior year, we had some friends who were seniors who didn’t have dates. And so they were going stag. And so they talked us into going stag with them. We should have never let ’em talk us into that. We should have- But they were upperclassmen and we thought, well, it’d be cool to go. We’re gonna have steaks. We’re gonna make steaks at John’s house. At least there was like a lot of intent, you know, it’s like, hey, I don’t have a date. You don’t have a date. We’re friends, let’s plan something ceremonial and let’s have something to look forward to. And that’s what we did and we did have fun. Well, we talked ourselves into that we were having fun for sure. I wanted to be with a woman. I’ll just be honest with you. Yeah. I didn’t wanna be with a bunch of dudes eating steak. I do like eating steak though. I don’t remember much else about our junior year prom than that. I don’t think we did photos. We definitely didn’t do like goofy stag photos. No. I think we just bowed out. I don’t think they let you in. I don’t think they let you do a photo if you didn’t have a date. Yeah, like stand there alone or with a photo. Yeah, yeah. Oh, we can’t fit that many. We do not have any evidence of that happening. So I think it was probably not allowed in Harnett County. Yeah. Stag, it’s stagnant. It’s not, that’s what it’s short for. And then of course the next year, our senior year, which is the best thing that came out of our senior prom was the photo of me and you shaking hands in your ex-girlfriend’s front yard. Yes, front yard. Yeah, that is the iconic photo where we’re shaking hands with one foot in the air. Like that’s the best thing that came out of that. Because I don’t know how what you did. All I know is we were gonna go, we went to the prom and then… You had tails. I had tails which, you know, it’s so interesting how they’re like, you’re tall, you need tails. It’s like, no, you don’t. I’m not a member of the royal family. Gimme a cane and a top hat, I don’t need tails. It was fun to like pick out a tux. I remember that. But we were gonna go to your girlfriend’s house after and of course I was with your girlfriend’s friend who was actually a girl that I, you know, I’d had a crush on for years pretty much, right? And well, no, not years. Maybe a couple years. But like a friend of mine had dated her. Another friend of ours that dated her that she still liked way more than she liked me. The girl that you had dated before like that or was it after that? Like, my girlfriend introduced you to your girlfriend after that. Oh yeah, that was, no, I was in college at that point. Oh yeah, you were in college. Okay because I dated- Senior year. My senior year, I started dating my girlfriend and then who I guess were deciding to remain nameless for the best. Sure. Yeah, she was a sophomore and I was a senior. And at the time, that was very normal. Not recommended, people. Oh really? Yeah, yeah, yeah, like at this point and for good reason, anything where, if you date anyone that is separated from your, by more than a year is like pretty scandalous these days. When we were coming up for reasons that just, it was a different time and a place like dudes who were seniors dated girls who were freshmen, like on the regular, it was almost the regular. And we didn’t do that. We didn’t do that, didn’t try to do that. But that was the world that we were living in. Hold on, I did do that. No, she wasn’t three years younger than you. She was two years younger. Oh yeah, yeah. Okay, yeah, sophomore. But still, what I’m saying is that even that would be a little bit like, hmm. Especially out here. I’m just saying when I, I remember talking to Locke and Shepherd about this, they were like, dad, like, it’s like a year. Like yeah, it could be a year difference, but two, like, people were like, what? What’s wrong with you? So- Yeah, there were lots of seniors dating freshman. Yeah. But, so- Because they had the power to do so and us guys, there was nothing we could do about it. And your girlfriend’s friend, who I had already liked before they became friends, I asked her to go and she said yes, and of course I wanted there to be, I wanted there to be sparks. And it was very clear right from the beginning of the evening that it was not, that wasn’t what was gonna happen. And so it wasn’t like I tried to make anything happen. It was sparkless? But we did the thing that was also very common and I guess maybe this still happens where you go to the prom and then you all go to someone’s house and you like all sleep on the floor next to the people that you went to the prom with. A slum party basically. And like, even though you’re in this like conservative Christian environment, like your parents- It was my one and only co-ed slumber party, except for being locked into the church. If you not familiar, churches would have a thing called a lock-in where it would be like an all night thing. But then there was a room where you could just go and go to sleep on the floor in like a sleeping bag. Yeah and you could go to sleep right next to your girlfriend and you could… In the church. Reach into her sleeping bag and do things. I mean, I knew God was watching, but I really, really wanted to. It’s like I thought you were looking for treats in the bottom of a Christmas stocking. I found some treats, but that night, I found no treats and I did not go hunting for treats because it was very clear that that wasn’t what she wanted. So I just was like, I’m sleeping on the- Well, I with my girlfriend and I didn’t even know treats existed practically. I’m sleeping on the floor of your girlfriend’s living room next to a girl that I’m very attracted to, who, you know? Is Sparkless. I think maybe if I didn’t have tails, she would’ve been attracted to me. But the tails really threw her off, too much material for her. So I don’t have fond memories of that. There were a couple, there were at least two other couples there that night. Yeah and I don’t remember. I don’t remember who they are. Who that would’ve been. Would it have been more of our friends or more of their friends? ‘Cause I don’t know. I think it was more of her friends because it was like another friend of hers. ‘Cause they’re not in the pictures that I’ve seen. Did I have pictures? Do you remember anything about the prom itself? I mean, I have photos of that, but… I remember our friend, Matt, showing up dressed as a woman. Yeah and that was- And talk about scandalous at the time. That was newsworthy. And like he, you know? He had never done that before. He decided that he was gonna dress as a woman to the prom, but he wasn’t gonna do it in a way that was like, I’m gonna dress as a woman isn’t like they do with, on senior day when like, you’re like the basketball players put the cheerleading uniforms on and they just look like a dude walking around in a dress. No, he was like, I’m gonna dress as a woman and I’m going to be hot as a woman. He did it- And no one’s gonna know that it’s me. He did it to ruffle feathers. Oh yeah. It wasn’t a personal choice or like an expression of identity. He did it ’cause he knew people would flip their lids over. Right. The administration would be like, I don’t think you, you can’t do this. I’ll put it to you this way, he was really into Nirvana, okay? I mean, I do believe that there are, that Kurt Cobain wore a dress a few times. He wore a dress, yeah. So it was kind of that like subversion of expectations. Pushing a button. He fixed his hair though. He had long hair and he fixed it in a way that he never wore his hair. Oh yeah. And he put on, he had someone, his sisters maybe, and I could see like his older sister being like, yeah, I’m gonna make you look good. And his makeup was really good. Good for him. Yeah and at the time, it was funny ’cause, you know? It made a lot of people wrestle with a lot of things. At the time, I don’t remember thinking that, I don’t remember being like, oh, he shouldn’t have done that. I just remember thinking like, man, he’s like, he went all out. What? And that is like really unexpected of him. And we probably, even though he was a friend that we would, he was an acquaintance of ours, if not like a childhood friend. We probably didn’t talk to him. Not that night. I mean, we’re not gonna talk to him when he is in woman form is what we felt like. We shouldn’t. I don’t remember, but probably yes. Yeah, I mean- That was the highlight of the prom for me was… I do remember that. His dressed like a woman. The theme was keeper of the stars, I believe. See, this is information that leaves me. And I think that that isn’t God the keeper of the stars? Was this a religious event? No, no, but kind of It was public school, all of ’em are a little bit back then. That’s really all that I remember. I came back, I dated like my freshman year in college, I was still dating my high school girlfriend who was a junior. And I came back for, I believe I came back for her prom. You probably did, it was also very common. ‘Cause I dated her my entire freshman year of college. Yeah. My entire freshman year, dude. And you were encouraging it because she hooked you up with her best friend. Well, yeah. You should have been like, hey, move on. You’re in college now. Yeah, we didn’t think like that though. Do you remember? Do you remember how we thought? I gotta go home and see my girlfriend every weekend. No, no, even me as someone who was single and has always been highly motivated to be with a woman, even I, but as you know, I’m highly motivated, not highly capable, right? And so what, and also we limited our options to the small circle of like, these girls had to be involved in crew or inter varsity or whatever. They had to be in some like campus ministry, right? You couldn’t just be like dating some girl that was just a girl that wasn’t a Christian and wasn’t in a- You’re talking about college, freshman year. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So there wasn’t anyone in that group that I actually was like, I’m attracted to this person and I wanna, and so. Yeah, you had to look for somebody in Atlanta. Yeah. Well, and it was your girlfriend’s fault because she was like, oh, I know who would like you and you would like. My friend and she’s, you know what? She’s coming to her dad’s house in Jacksonville or something like that. And we’re gonna go down there and see her. North Carolina. And we got down there and I was immediately attracted to her and apparently she was immediately attracted to me. I didn’t wear my tails, I just wore lake shorts. And we watched “Twister”. I was there. You and your girlfriend were sitting next to me and her on the couch and we were watching “Twister”. Now the whole time I was thinking, I wanna kiss her, I wanna kiss her, I wanna kiss her. And we’re sitting there watching “Twister” and I slowly did things like held her hand. I mean, I met this girl that day and I’m sitting there watching a movie holding her hand. But the reason it moved so quickly is because- ‘Cause the storm’s coming in. It was your girlfriend’s idea to be like, you guys will like each other. And so when we immediately did, it was like, okay, well this is what’s gonna happen. And I just remember wanting, “Twister’s” great. But I, you know, Helen Hunt is amazing, but I had a woman next to me and I just remember thinking like, what am I gotta look. It’s hard to find a gap in “Twister”. Yeah. It’s so action packed. And so as soon as the credits hit, I lean in. You waiting the whole movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was like, now we don’t have to, we we don’t need to know who made this movie. We know how it ends. And I just kissed her throughout the credits. And then we dated for a year and a half. Wow. Yeah. Long distance. And now “Twisters”. Yep, what you gonna do about “Twisters”? Is it in the theaters right now? Yeah, yeah. It says it’s not releasing until July. There you go. Oh, July. Coming up. Okay. I’m excited. Yeah, I have a little, I’m not, I mean I’m not gonna like call her up and be like, you wanna go see “Twisters”? I mean you and Jessie. Okay, yeah. I’m talking about you and your wife. Me and my current wife. Yes. Yeah, we’ll go see “Twisters” together. Yes. Alright, thanks for the question. Good luck with that prom, or I hope it went well if it’s already happened. Let’s hit one more and shut her down. Yes, last one. Hi, this is Sam Doran calling from Toronto and I’m listening to your podcast right now and you’re talking about the hammerhead sharks and why they have a flat face. Just wanna let you guys know that it’s actually, they developed longer and flatter faces to actually have more sensors on their nose to head hunt their prey. So, you know, they’re actually probably the most dominant of the shark species. Okay, thanks guys. Have a good day. Oh. Oh ’cause we were thinking maybe it was because of a pole. Yeah, look it on either side of the pole. Our theory was wrong according to him. It’s they see with their nose sensors. Thank you for that. And it kept getting reinforced, generation over generation. And the eyes were just like, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, The eyes are along for the ride. okay, okay. If your nose gonna do this, I’m just, I’m getting pushed apart. Oh, and it’s interesting because- Yeah, makes ’em dominant. We talked about this and I misquoted something. I mean I do that all the time, but if I actually remember myself doing it, I’ll point out, I said something about the nostrils of the whale being on the sides. And so I actually went back and listened because I’m really interested in whale evolution. Like it’s just, it is really a fascinating thing ’cause it’s like so many of the ways that you can look into evolution in the way that like, there’s a molecular observation that then is backed up by a fossil discovery or vice versa. It’s actually a lot simpler than that. They had nostrils on the snout, right? And they migrated directly up onto the top of the head. So there was never like, think I said something like that right here. So it makes a lot more sense that like whatever the ancestors to whale were when they became aquatic slowly over generations, you can see in the fossil record, you can see the migration of the nose onto the top of the head. And that’s why when you like look into the blowhole, it looks like a nose without a nose, you know? It’s just like two things. It’s two things. With a membrane. Yeah, like a double barrel shotgun. Still pretty fascinating. Okay, well there you have it. Do you have a rec? No pressure. Yeah, I do. It’s just a weird one. Diet caffeine free Dr Pepper. Diet caffeine free Dr. Pepper. I still drink diet drinks. I still, I don’t, I try not to do it too often. There’s some chemicals in there, right? But I don’t like the caffeine, you know? And I literally said at some point I was like, I wish there was, I wish there was diet caffeine free Dr. Pepper ’cause I love Diet Dr. Pepper and somebody commented and it was like, yeah, there is. Okay. But you can’t go to the store and get it. You can only order it. Really? If you just go to the grocery store and that’s where you think all drinks live, you can’t find it. But it does exist. So I’ve been ordering diet caffeine free Dr. Pepper. How many you ordering at once? I ordered 48. You ordered 48? This is, see? I ordered four 12 packs because it was like, I might as well do, I mean I might as well do it. Yeah, but how many are you now drinking in a day? Oh, two a week. Okay, two a week? Yeah. So it’s a treat. It’s a treat. All right. ‘Cause I feel every time I reach for a diet drink, I’m like ah, . What’s it doing to me? Then I start sipping on it and I’m like, ooh, that’s nice. Yeah. So if you’re in a Dr. Pepper, try diet Dr. Pepper and if you’re into diet Dr. Pepper, try caffeine free Dr. Pepper. Thanks for calling us, we are listening. ♪ 1-888-EARPOD1 ♪ And also #earbiscuits.
