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. I hope Rhett has an embarrassing story to tell. I believe that he does. We also want to subject ourselves to the test, the official test, to determine if we actually think alike. The definitive test and more and more. Well, today only on Ears Biscuit. I, uh, I debated whether or not, whether or not, whether or not I should even tell this story. All, all the internet. It’s not a debate, man. It’s not a debate. Listen. I feel like I set a good example and now you need to follow it. We think you said an example, which we’re not gonna say what it is ’cause we don’t wanna spoil it. Well, no, I, I’m pretty sure. Um, okay. Uh, this past weekend we went to the wedding of Jacob, our chief operating officer here at what a fun wedding, great wedding. Great people. There was a, there was a party one night and there were two bowling lanes. Yeah, that’s a good, it’s a good little venue. If you go up to the side and there’s two full bowling lanes. Last time I, that happened to me, I was in the White House. That’s right. It was very White House like. Yeah, but better. I think they only, they might have had four lanes in the bottom of the White House. In my mind, it was two. I know in my mind it was two, but you just said four. I know. So in your mind it’s two, but in your heart it’s four. I don’t know. I’m keeping my options open. So there were two parties. There were, uh, there’s a lot of alcohol served, but I’m currently not drinking alcohol. I’m a a little dry spell, and so in order to make myself. Feel like I’m drinking alcohol, I’m getting soda waters with bitters and lime, which is my wife’s go-to drink ’cause she doesn’t really drink either. Mm-hmm. Because it looks like you have a drink in your hand and it kind of tastes like you might be drinking ’cause it’s got some bitters. And also both of these, uh, parties, the bartender was happy to make a mocktail and they actually. We’re enthusiastic about mocktails. They need to be. ’cause more and more people are ordering them. Mm. And they charge the same amount of money for the mocktail as they do for the for the tail. But when the wedding people are paying for the drinks, you don’t have to think about that. Nope. So did you order a mocktail or did you just order the bitters? I drink so much liquid. Especially night two, because we were that that night. Two was the wedding and then the wedding ceremony. And also the, I typically do not stay until a wedding reception is over. And the only reason I did on this particular day was because when the wedding ceremony or when the wedding reception. It was supposed to end at midnight. It was your birthday. That’s right. I didn’t even, I was ready to go to bed. Well, originally you were 11. You were ready to go to a different venue. Oh, yeah. Was to keep the party going. I have big plans, man. I wanted to go to a second venue and keep the party going. And then, and I knew that Christie didn’t want to, and without even consulting with her, I leaned over to Jesse and I said. At like 1115, I said, are we still going to that place that Ling wants to go after? Because me and Christie don’t want to. And I hadn’t even talked to her. And she was, and, and then when, when Christie found that out, she was like, you all right? I don’t want to go. Well, fortunately y’all, I didn’t want to go either. If you had wanted to go, I would’ve gone. So we just, and maybe things would’ve turned out different. I was maybe my story would not be what it is. So we turned in at like 1230. Yeah. 1215. Uh, so I got to my room and I had some, some of my like nighttime medicines that I take. So supplemental things and, uh, nighttime medicine, some more water. It’s the keynote here and uh, and then I drift off to sleep. I do not remember the dream. I do not remember the dream. I wish I remember the details, but I do remember the sensation that awoke me. Yeah, I’m a 47-year-old man. Yep. Mm-hmm. And this 47-year-old man awoke. At 3:00 AM with the sensation of a warm liquid being emitted onto my right thigh pretty far down the thigh. Come on. And, uh. I was, I woke up and said to myself, holy shit, am I pissing myself right now? And the resounding answer was yes. And I current, you, you, you currently pissing yourself. Yeah. Yeah. And I immediately, it wasn’t over. I immediate well, yeah. But I immediately, as soon as I, uh, understood what was happening, stopped it. Do you pinch it with your fingers? No. Hands free. I don’t What, what kind of moron do you think I am? Well, sometimes if it’s gushing you got to, I have, you gotta pinch it. I have full pelvic floor control. I can stop my piss stream at any point you think you can? At least I still can at this age. And, um, let me just say this was a familiar feeling, not a recently familiar feeling, but I was a bed wetter as a child. I don’t remember exactly the year that it stopped before puberty. Uh, no. I probably went, it was later than I probably went until what you would’ve hoped. Um, I probably still had like occasional, I mean, I definitely still had it happen to me in North Carolina, and I was six when we moved to North Carolina, so it would be like, you know, a couple times a year, maybe that first year. I don’t know. So I was a bed wetter, and I remember that same sensation of waking up and you’re just like, you’re ashamed, but you’re also a kid in the eighties when it happened to me. Yeah. When it happens to you as a 47-year-old man, um, who has had a lot of water, I mean, I cannot tell you how much water I could tell you. It contributed to a lot of piss that escaped me before I realized what was happening. And you’re at a hotel. And you don’t remember that you were dreaming about peeing or, I’m sure I was pee because I have lots of dreams that I have to pee and then I wake up and piss in a toilet. Not, not tonight, my friend. So did you jump outta bed? Well, no. When it stopped I was like, okay, go back. How much, how much have I damaged? Have I done? I felt down there and I was like, okay, well my underwear’s wet. It’s still like I’m still coming too. You know? You’re trying to figure out if you’re just gonna lay in it. No, I’m trying to figure out how much damage I’ve done. Like, do I need to, what do I need to do? I need to wake my wife up. Do we need to evacuate? I don’t know. Evacuate. It’s just go to the bathroom, dude. And so I feel, and then I’m like, oh shit. It’s on the bed. Oh, quite a bit. On the bed. Oh, yes. So I get up, this is not your bed. I go to the bathroom and proceed to pee probably for a minute. I want you to understand how much I was pissing. I understand. I guess, yeah. Good news. As I’m looking into the bowl, I realize that the water is not being discolored at all. Meaning I’m basically peeing water. Which you’re talking yourself into just sleeping on it. No. Why is that the thing that you’re keying in on? Of course, I’ve gotta go back to sleep. I’m gonna sleep on the floor after that. Or a hammock set up a hammock. No, I go and I put a towel over the wet spot just like I did when I was seven. Okay. But the thing I was worried about that I wanted to be able to just go to sleep without worrying about is like, I didn’t want a piss stain on this hotel bed. No, you don’t wanna be that guy. I want somebody to think, because I was checking out the next morning. I want somebody to think that, well, I thought about this. I think the housekeepers are just like, well, squirter was in this bed. They, you know, they probably encounter this quite a bit. Okay. And let’s not get into the is squirt p debate. I know that it’s at least, you know. Is mostly pee, some pee. I don’t know. But what I’m saying, a good way to deflect from your embarrassment when a housekeeper to continue even talk about that encounters a wet spot in a hotel bed. They don’t immediately think an adult man has pissed himself. They think an adult woman has squirted herself probably. And that brought me some comfort. Okay. Mm-hmm. I don’t know if this is true. Maybe it can bring you comfort that there’s a lot, a lot of adult men who pee themselves. I think there’s more squirters than bed wetters. Squirting has become much more popular. Okay. Much more popular than Than wetting your bed. Yeah. Yeah. Bedwetting is on a decline. I can understand that. Squirting is on a upswing. Bedwetting is on a decline. Okay. But you know, I’ve done it. And I talked about it on this show. Yeah, right. You did. You have. But it was at my mom’s house. I don’t know. It’s worse. It was in a i I got to leave. I got to leave. Yeah. And just let a housekeeper think, somebody squirted in the bed and I don’t have to think about it anymore. Yeah. We had to think about it some more. I’m never going back to that hotel. I’m not sleeping in that bed again. There’s trauma associated with that bed. For both of us. It was at somebody else’s bed. Yep. I think that’s a factor. Yeah. I do remember when it happened to me for the next week, I was real paranoid when I would go to sleep. I wouldn’t drink anything. I’ve cut down on my nighttime water and I walk up in the morning and I would be like, I would just wake up. Oh, did I pee myself? That hap, that was like a week. I had this complex about it. Yeah. It hasn’t been that bad and I definitely. It was an excessive amount. Like I don’t wake up to pee at night in general. I mean, maybe two times a month. Okay. But I typically, I don’t like having to wake up to pee. You have to get up. It’s disruptive or whatever. So I try to stop drinking water after dinner. Oh, you know, and you, and really, if you get enough water during the day, which I don’t, but if you do, you can stop drinking at that point. You won’t be like dehydrated or anything. Some people recommend that for better sleep. Jesse never woke up. No, but the first thing I said when I woke up and she woke up, as I said, and I think I said it in a baby voice, I said, I wait babe. I wait to bed rash night, and what did she say? She comforted me. I. She said they’ll prob, they’ll probably just think it was a squirt. No, she didn’t say that. She probably say, Ooh, is it, did it get on my side? She didn’t care. She sat there and slept in it all night. Uh, you laid back on it. I laid on top of a towel. A towel. So you just smooshed it down for, well, what, okay. Explain what you did when you happened at your mom’s house. I put down a towel and I laid back on her. Yeah, right. Well, what, like, gimme an alternative, I mean, stripped to bed, but then you’re waking up your partner. There’s no reason to do that. And again, in the broad daylight, I guess streaming through the window, there was literally no demarcation of the wet spot. It was completely colorless I had, and which is very unusual for me. Okay. I mean, if you ask David who, yeah. And Sierra I think was helping with that. Who dealt with our P for that GMM episode. Yeah. I felt bad for ’em. And they had some notes about your pee. My pee. Well they said it y’all’s pee stinky. They said it was both of our pee was stinky and very yellow. That’s what I heard. Huh? But I drank so much that night water that it just came out completely. You’ve been nervous ever since. Like I was. No. So I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because I’ve got more experience bedwetting and I don’t, and butting the bed once doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re gonna do it again in the near future because it’s the circumstances. And the circumstances were excessive liquids in my body. Okay, well welcome to the club. The middle-aged men who’ve peed a bed, but not their own bed club. But I’ve also, I, this wasn’t the first time I’ve, I’ve done it two times. This is the second time I was done it as an adult because I, and I think I said that when you told the story, oh, well then I was welcome to the club and you’re, you’ve just renewed your membership. It’s good for another seven years, I think. But I haven’t looked up anything, which is surprising about why. What is it? Yeah. And you had to pee. You don’t need to, you don’t need to know why. Right. But there’s a reason. If it keeps happening, you might need to. Why? But there’s a reason why that you, we, your bed as a kid, like there’s like, you know, I don’t know what it is, but there’s, did they do anything to fix that? Like, whoop you, shame you. No, my parents were good about that, about not making me feel bad about it. They knew that I did not need any help feeling bad about it. It’s, I mean, it’s such a shameful thing to piss your bed. Yeah. I. But I don’t know, like Yeah. Is it, so don’t feel, but don’t feel bad about it. Well, no, but is there, like, is it a, uh, I bet you if I started looking up WebMD stuff. It would be like, could be a sign of, and then it would and that’s why you don’t need to do it. That would scare me. Oh, I haven’t done it. Yeah, don’t do that. I haven’t done it because it happened to you and you seem, it sounds like you’re still thinking about it. Relatively good health Googling it. I don’t, I’m not, I’ve thought about it is what I said. Yeah, don’t do that. Um, I, uh, but I haven’t been worried about it because I haven’t been even waking up to pee at all. Okay, good. I’m glad you’re worried about it. And also I’m not, if it happens at my house. I’m not worried about that happening at my house. I mean, I’d worried the main thing was someone else having to see it and think something about you. Yes. Oh yeah. I mean, ’cause think if it happens, if it happens in foreign places, happening at a hotel is one thing happening at somebody’s house you’re staying with. I mean, your mom, that’s not that big of a deal, but like what if you, what if you are. Somebody invites you to to sleep in their guest bed. Right? I mean, this is worse than clogging someone’s toilet at a party. Oh, yeah. Which I also did, by the way of that same hotel room. No. What? Yeah. Clogged a toilet. You’re just wreaking havoc. You’re a horrible guest. And it wasn’t even that much shit. What? Come on. It wasn’t. It wasn’t in fact, the toilet and you peed the bed. It, it wasn’t, in fact, you are the worst. I preemptively when there was a little bit of toilet paper in there, I bet you drank from the fridge, the, uh, the, the little mini bar and then you put half things back so you won’t get charged. I didn’t, and then I flushed it and it stopped. And I was like, what? No, it was a very pretty toilet. You told me it was painted. It was painted. And I think that the paint. Must have created some sort of friction in the hole. They painted the whole bowl, the whole bowl all the way down, and again into it. What color was it? Dark. Multiple colors. It was a beautiful toilet. What? And uh, I had never seen anything like that, and Jesse was like, oh, this is, I wanted to do this at so and so, you know, one of the things that she was doing, but they didn’t end up wanting it. It’s a beautiful toilet. I almost felt bad about taking a shit in it. Too much friction. And I think maybe the paint caused extra friction ’cause it wasn’t that much stuff. And then I thought to myself, damn, what else did you do? I was, I think that’s all I’ll keep thinking. I, I was like, I gotta, I gotta call the front desk and request a plunger. Because I’m not going down there. And, and the way that this hotel was set up, you were there, you know, in order to get to my room, I had to walk through like a restaurant in a pool deck and like, it was a crowded, very cool hotel. Yeah. And, you know, and I had been recognized a few times and I don’t wanna be like, oh, I wonder where R’S going with that plunger. You know? So you asked them to deliver a plunger? They did. And the guy shows up with the plunger. And I like reached my hand out to take it from him. He just goes past me and goes into the, oh, I got quiet. I didn’t know what to say. Now there’s nothing in the toilet. It’s just sitting water. Okay. I’m glad you’re giving us these details. Sitting water, because it’s the whatever’s, whatever it’s is deep in the toilet. Okay, great. And he just comes in there and boom, boom, he’s done. And I’m like. I’d give ’em a nod. See, that’s little did I know that that night I would also wet the bed, and then the next morning you’re like, can I get a towel? And then they come in with a towel and they’re like, mm. And then they just go by you and clean up the pee. Yeah, that didn’t happen. I mean, I think that that may be worse than the pee is calling for a plunger. And then the guy. Is like, he goes right by you. He seems like he’s done at pl. You tried to ha you tried to take the plunger, like, yeah. And then he, and he kept going knowing that he’s about to plunge your poo p and you’re standing there just waiting for him to come back out and nod your head. Well, it could have been my wife. He doesn’t know. Oh, he knew. If there had have been a floating turtle in there, I would’ve, I would’ve blame it on her. A floating tur wouldn’t have been a problem. She doesn’t know her own strength. Just say something like, man, yeah, just say something like that. Damn. So you really, you really, I really used the hotel for all it’s worth, man. I. I saw they have peanuts with old base seasoning on ’em. Did you? I had some, I had some of those too. Jesse opened those up. The mini bar wast quite weren, quite impressive. Weren’t as good as I thought they would be. Quite impressive. I’m trying to think what else you could have done to damage this hotel and embarrass yourself Well, with a bodily fluid. Well then let’s just leave it be, let’s just leave that conversation be so, yeah. I, I, welcome, welcome back to the club. You’re renewed. Yeah, but I don’t, it happens to the best of us, but. Does, does it? I mean, yes. We were to start asking. Yeah, you’re okay. Let us know if you, if you call us and tell us your story of peeing the bed as an adult. Only if you’re a middle-aged man. Well, you can be a woman, but it can’t, you can’t be a pregnant woman who’s laughing because No, I, we know, we know. Y’all pee everywhere. I, I, I I think you have to have a penis to answer this question. I’m sorry. Oh, really? I’m gonna discriminate here because it is the. It’s a completely different system. And so women might pee themselves for any, any number of reasons. And it could be squirt. I don’t know. Like, I don’t, I don’t want to confuse this. If you have a penis and you’re a, and you’re an adult, okay, call us. When was the last time you pissed a bed? Call us and tell us about how, how did it make you feel? Yep. One. Eight. Eight eight.

I, I got a little thing that happened to me this morning that’ll might, might make you feel a little better. Okay. It was embarrassing and I had to be cleaned up. Mm. Okay. By someone. So let this make you feel a little better. I went to the dentist this morning and I swear every time I go to the dentist, right after the dentist, I come in here and I record a podcast. I think every single time I’ve, it always happens. Like the freshest thing I do after going to the dentist is, is an episode of your biscuits. Hmm. It’s just something that’s happened. Tens of hundreds of times maybe. And you know what? I’m pretty good at being at the dentist. Um, I got a positive report and everything, but this time something happened that’s never happened before. I guess it’s my fault. She handed me the, the sucker, that thing. Oh, she lets you do it yourself? Yeah. And she just, I’m holding it the whole time. Then at certain points she’ll like spray the water in my mouth and she’ll say, swishing rinse. And I did that once and it was fine. And then the second time I swished and rinse, like she put a lot of water in there and I’m like swishing around. And then I’m, she’s not saying swishing rinse, right? She’s saying swish and clothes. Well, she told, I mean, just suck suction, swish, and suction. Really, all she said was swish. She might, I don’t know what word she used, but yeah, I’m taking the tube and putting it in my own mouth and I’m sucking up all of the water and junk that she sprayed in there. And I’m laying back, of course, and I don’t know what I did, but I guess I was trying to bring all of this liquid to the tube and I put the tube deep. But I brought the li, I went like this in my mouth. I ooh, bring my. Bring my mouth to a Oh. And when I did that, all of this water did. It didn’t go. It sucked into the tube. It just gushed out everywhere. You know? It was like I was a volcano of spit and water. I don’t know. Maybe it was squirt too. Yeah, probably a little bit. Now that you’ve mentioned, it’s so damn much. And then it’s just coming all outta my mouth and going, going everywhere, mal. And then I figured out how to use it again and I’m like, oh, sorry. And then she’s like taking the thing and like, um, you know, dabbing my neck and. Cleaning me up. Does your hygienist not instruct you? The only thing you have to do when the thing is in your mouth is close your lips around it and it takes all the water outta your mouth. Yeah. Regardless. You don’t have to go fishing for the water. I was just like, I was like trying to push it forward to the front of my mouth. Water can be anywhere in your whole head. You close your lips around it. It goes into the tube every time. Well, does she not tell you that? Because my, my, she assumed I knew to that my woman just says close. She, but does she put it in? Yeah, she puts it in and she does some stuff and then she’s like closed and I go and it’s like, it’s like a vacuum lock. It’s like my mouth becomes the door to the shuttle. You know what I mean? Yeah. Well, I do it myself and I didn’t, I don’t like your dentist. Yeah, and what I’ll do is that’s a DIY thing. I’ll close down on it and once it sucks everything out, it’ll create suction where like my cheeks go in, everything just starts getting sucked into that tube. If a tooth’s loose, it’s gonna come out. Well then you let go. I mean, it’s hard to let go and then you let go and then it’s, everything’s good. And then I do it one more time. You know, I just get obsessive about it. I thought I had a new way to do it, but I just, I erupted all over myself. But I can safely say, that’s never happened to me. It will now. I don’t think it’s going to bet you. It will bet you it will. What did she say when you did that? I said it’s okay. Or she said, what the hell’s wrong with you? I said, I said, huh? I said. Whoops. Sorry. She was like, it’s okay. I got you. I got it. It’s okay. It’s okay. I got it. It happens all the time. She didn’t say that. Say that much. What hell’s wrong with it? She didn’t say it happens all the time. ’cause it doesn’t. Did you also pee yourself? Because that happens a lot in here. Yeah. I could have peed myself because I was concentrating a lot on keeping my pelvic floor loose. Relaxed while you’re at the dentist. Yeah. Try not to pucker my anus too much. ’cause you know, you get tense whenever they’re in your mouth scraping and doing stuff and everything gets tense. You might get your hands in a fist, you might get your anus in a ball. Your toes might curl up. You know, all of this stuff is just tension and you gotta like decide to relax and maybe be yourself a little bit. But that didn’t happen. Does that make you feel better? Not really. She cleaned up after me. It was all over me, and she came in and just cleaned it up. What? Because what happened? If you’d have called room service, they’d come in and clean you up like you were in a hospital. But what happened to you was just a result of a dumb decision that you made at the moment? What happened to me is like, I’m, you know, there’s so something’s wrong with me. Nothing’s wrong with you. No. In that moment you had to pee dude here. Why are you saying something’s wrong with you? I, well, I’m just saying that that’s what’s wrong with you is saying something’s wrong with you is that’s what’s wrong with you. But there’s, there’s lots of people who drink a lot of water. Don don’t say, then just wake up and pee in a toilet. Well, your track record’s pretty good. I don’t know, man. You listen. It had happened to me again. It it, and it’s not gonna happen to you again. I will say nothing’s wrong with you, even though I’m 1000%. You already people, people are calling right now, leaving voicemails to make you feel better. I’m 1000%. You’ve already forgotten about this and probably it, you didn’t pick up on it at the time, but, um, we were told in that GMM episode, I don’t know when it’s coming out, that you had low iron and that I had. Severely low iron Uhhuh. I just want you to know that that was bullshit. And David told me it was probably bullshit because I was asking him for a couple of the results. Mm-hmm. And he was like, I wouldn’t, I wouldn’t take too much stock in that thing. ’cause it was like a, it was a really cheap test that we got from Amazon and it was like a. It looked like a COVID test. It wasn’t like a numerical measurement. It was like, how bright is this line, kind of thing. Oh, okay. So anyway, I got my blood work done and my iron level was optimal. So don’t worry about that. You’re not, you, you weren’t, but I’m just letting you know I wasn’t. Thank you. Um, I was counting on something like that being the case. Yeah. And thank you for looking into it. But inevitably, yeah, we will be diagnosed with something in the comments. Somebody’s gonna be like, oh, if red is severely low on iron, that means Annie Annie’s peeing the bed and he’s peeing the bed. Like if you, if you don’t hear this mm-hmm. Part where I’m not severely low, my blood work was great. Right. Cholesterol is a little bit high. LDL so was yours. We gotta work on that. But that’s pretty much it. Perfect health. Other than that, yeah. Then see, move forward. But the move forward with, with confidence. Or just, it’s tough. It’s tough. Start sleeping. Sleeping with a diaper. Well, it will come a day. My mind, or I’ll get a watered, get a waterbed because it matters. Is a Is a rubber. Is rubber. Oh, I thought that would actually make it more watery. Which you thought was a good thing. No, it just means that you can’t get, like, you can’t stain your mattress. Okay. My mattress when I was a bed wetter was it matched the mattress that you would sleep on when you would come over the one with the, um, it western theme on it. It was not western theme stage coaches. It was United States history. Well, it was like it had, uh, it had multiple United States history things on it. Maybe there was a stage coach. Okay. But there was also like. The, I think, uh, Susan B. Anthony was, I, I had a history. I’m so good at history because of that mattress. It was, except for the parts that you stained beyond recognition with your pee. What I’m saying is that you couldn’t see the pee stains because it was a light brown and dark brown mat. It was a light brown mattress. Yeah, I remember that with like dark brown and black. Illustrations, it’s the mattress that you would get for a, and come to think of it, Uhhuh. It’s the mattress that you would get for a kid that peed the bed. My parents, I was always, I always wondered why my parents thought he needs this little extra touch of history. It was because they knew I was gonna piss all over that thing and they didn’t wanna see it. I peed all over the history of our great nation. Which is why you’ll never run for office, because we don’t want that coming out. Yeah. Yeah. It’s somewhere in a landfill. This man, somebody will dig it up. He’s got piss all over it. This you, you know what this man thinks about the, the history of the United States? It pisses on it. He might as well be pissing on the flag. I mean, the co it wasn’t the Constitution. I don’t remember if you flip the mattress, it’s just the Constitution. Maybe. I hope you didn’t pee on the Constitution. I wouldn’t have done that. I. Intentionally. Not intentionally. What about, um, going drag dressing up? I’ll do that. Dressing up as a drag queen. Uh, I have done that. He has done that. So now we’ve both done it. It’s available on the mythical society. Our RU’S performance moves, dance moves Is his look like? What did they do? You’re gonna have to go to the mythical society to find out. Go do that. All right, let’s take a question or, uh, something or whatever. Hey, written link. Uh, my name’s Drew from Northern New York, and I was just curious because, uh, me as a Northern New Yorker, who is someone who is absolutely not from New York City, you know, you can’t go bogging around telling people that you’re from New York and then they’re immediately like, oh, you’re from Manhattan? No, no, no. Mm-hmm. From the rest of the state. Us New Yorkers, we constantly debate on the different sections of New York State, like it’s a war, and none of us can agree on one setup thing that we can actually describe to one another. So I was curious, is there anything like that for you, people in the Carolinas? Is there anything that you disagree harshly with each other About all the time like we do with our regions of New York. That’s all. Thank you, Mike. Hmm. Yeah, there’s a few. There’s a, there’s a few. There’s a few things. First of all, can I just say that, Mike? Yeah. If you’re from New York State, he said far north, upstate New York is what I heard. I guess he’s so far north. He’s north, further north and upstate. I think I would say upstate if I were him. Even if he isn’t, but he didn’t, he said very northern. Yeah, Upstate’s. Probably a, like not all the way at the top or something. I know there’s other cities in New York, the state, Syracuse, Albany. Um, Buffalo. Oh, Buffalo. You got you pulled out. Okay. Buffalo’s way up there, isn’t it? It’s very cold. Um, s connected Schenectady. Is that, is that something, sounds like it is Schenectady? Mm-hmm. Ha. How did that, where did that one come from? It’s like anatomy class or something. Did you have that on your mattress? No, I did not have cities in new. You’d have the cities in New York mattress. I don’t know what I had on my mattress. What was your mattress? Maybe I was the one with the stage coaches. Hmm. I dunno. So yeah, there’s more to New York than just the city. I hear it’s beautiful up there. Wouldn’t know though. We don’t have the same, the specific, same issue that you deal with with New York. That’s not something that happens in North Carolina to the same degree. But what happens out here, if you say you’re from North Carolina, this happened to me yesterday, 94% of the time. What do they say? Um, what do they mention? You don’t know. They mentioned Asheville. Asheville, they mentioned Asheville. Everybody in that, I think Asheville. Asheville’s. Asheville. Asheville. Asheville. Asheville was hurting with the, the, the floods and stuff. Still, still and still hurting. Yeah. Uh, and that’s what people can talk about now, but previous to that, it was just how everybody’s moving to Nashville and how. Cool and cultural. It’s, to me, what happened yesterday wasn’t even about the floods. It was, it was about, well, I’ve been to Asheville every ’cause if you’re in North Car, if you’re in California and you’re in the entertainment industry, which many people are out here, maybe something took you to Asheville or something took you to Wilmington. And so those are the cities that will get mentioned. Right? And then I’ll be like, well, I’m from the central part of the state near Raleigh. And you know, even though Raleigh’s way bigger than Nashville. It’s not really a destination, but it kind of is, is the thing is, it’s just not in the same way that Asheville, it’s not, it’s not a, it is, it’s a great city and it’s growing, but it’s not, I don’t think people up and say, I wanna visit Raleigh. I, yeah, that’s true. But a lot of people are like, I’m moving to Raleigh. Yeah, that’s, yep. That’s happening. Um, so that happens a lot. The, the, the dispute, well, the interesting thing about North Carolina is. The dispute. There’s a regional dispute, which we’ll talk about in a moment, but the thing that makes it so interesting in the triangle area is it’s not a regional dispute. It’s literally the fact that these three schools, duke, Carolina, and State, are all right next to each other. And so it’s not like a typical state where everyone in this part of the state. You know, like in, in, in South, South Carolina, for instance, okay, if you’re on the western part of the state, you’re probably a Clemson fan, right? If you’re closer to Columbia, you’re a, a South Carolina fan. But if, what if, what if both of those schools were in the same city? And so that happens a lot. So there’s like almost real hatred. Yeah, it gets, it gets, can tear families apart. It gets just, you know, I’m in a mixed marriage. My wife went to Carolina. Yeah. And so, um, you know, it has, the fact is that she doesn’t care that much, so it doesn’t really come up. But the thing that happens regionally, but I’ve never heard anyone fight over this. It’s just the barbecue sauce, the nature of the barbecue as you move across the state. Right. I. North Carolina’s got anywhere from three to probably maybe even six distinct barbecue sauces. But when you go down to South Carolina, you got the South Carolina mustard based sauce, which is really mostly Columbia. Right. Um, and it happens to be my favorite, but I, I’ve always felt bad about it because we in North Carolina pride ourselves on our barbecue. And our barbecue sauces, so to like say, well, mine is actually from the underbelly of North Carolina. I think we made up this joke. I don’t think anybody ever told it to us, but we have always referred to South Carolina as the underbelly. Yeah. Because a lot of people out here when they remember we’re from the Carolinas, they can’t remember which one. Yeah. And, and when they, if they say South Carolina. We always act offended, right? Because we have this idea, we’re not Hootie in the blowfish that, that we’re, we’re, they’re the underbelly. We’re more sophisticated. We have actual cities. We have paved rows that are, that they take care of, right? We have laws that protect our citizens. Like, yes, you have to wear a helmet when you’re on a motorcycle. No, you can’t blow yourself to bits with any type of firework paraphernalia you wanna buy. We have some rules and we have local, regional, and state government. Yeah. None of these things. Yeah. They don’t even have, as far as I’m aware of, they don’t even have police or even South Carolina. In South Carolina. It is, it is a chaos state. It’s, it’s like the purge down there. That’s why, that’s the only reason I have a, uh, a podcast with my dad. Mm-hmm. To protect him, to protect him. Just to, you know, just to raise his profile a little bit down there in Myrtle Beach so that he can, um, uh, he can feel a little more insulated. You don’t have to have a tag on you by fame on your car down there, your tag, no tags on your car. Your motorcycle, your golf car. Oh yeah. And you can drive your cater, you can drive any road, any type of, yeah. There’s no lane motorized. Mm-hmm. Vehicle you can drive on any, any road and um, just drive on the right, just like everywhere else. But you don’t really have to. Yeah. Because there’s no lines and the dogs don’t, it’s against the law to put ’em on a leash that it is one of the few laws actually. Yeah. Do not leash your dog. Yeah. So that’s why we’d say we’re not from South Carolina, but we love their barbecue sauce. We love their barbecue sauce though, so it’s tough. I think that the barbecue sauce thing has really, by the way, nobody who goes to Clemson is from South Carolina. It’s a different place. It’s like a, it is like its own little and it’s not a barbecue place, it’s a meat and three place. Yeah. So it’s like the barbecue sauce thing is not what it used to be because of the internet. The age of information. Now you go to a barbecue restaurant pretty much anywhere they got, and they’re gonna have that mustard sauce as an option even out here. And they’re, and they might have like Carolina sa, Eastern Carolina sauce. That’s more vinegar. There’s a lot of times you’ll get both of the North Carolina sauces, both of the Carolina sauces. Yeah. In one restaurant, even barbecue restaurants out here, you see you get more to tomato based and the vinegar based. Then you get the mustard based and if they want to go real crazy, then they can do to mayonnaise based from that certain part of Alabama, which I like that too. That hardly ever happens at a barbecue restaurant though. Is that supposed to go on chicken? It still goes on smoked chicken. Oh yeah, it’s, I’d like to gimme some of that. It’s part of Alabama. I think it’s Northern Alabama. I can’t remember. That’s a good one though. We thought about this a lot at one point. Yeah. But no one, there’s still some, there’s some holdouts. I would expect that like your father-in-law is a holdout, you know, he’s for vinegar based. Yeah. Oh yeah, because he lives there, different generation. He’s in eastern North Carolina. Yeah. So it’s a way of life. And so it’d be like offensive to put something else on barbecue probably. Right? But I think this generation, they’re like, I don’t care. Does it taste good? They’re not. Fight about it. But that’s it. That’s it. With South Carolina, it, it gives us something to look down on just because they’re south of us and then they can look down on Georgia and then Georgia looks down on Florida. Exactly. I. Exactly. Alright, let’s take this test. How’s this gonna work? Okay. So there is this thing going around where mostly for couples or really close best friends, okay? Like you guys to see if you’re on the same page, like same wavelength, like are you thinking alike? So I’ll give you a word and then you guys are gonna have to say what word you th. Think would go next. Okay. In this. Got it. And we say it like immediately. Immediately. So I could do like, I’ll say the word don’t, you don’t think about it. Yeah. And then you just say it and see if you guys are saying the same thing. Okay. Okay. First word, show time. Well, hold on. I thought we were gonna do some sort of countdown. Well, okay. This is why I said immediately I need it. I, but I know, but I, my brain didn’t work immediately today at least. Okay. Do you wanna do like a 1, 2, 3? Okay. Okay. You said show, well now you, well, I’m gonna use a different word. I don’t know. I wouldn’t have said show time. I would’ve probably said, I was thinking of like television. I probably said so it’s not completing a word. No. It’s like, it’s just the first thing that comes to your mind. Like association. Yeah. I mean it’s like most of, most of the people that do it, it’s like, what would be a word that like precedes that word. So it could be like a phrase. Okay. All right. So we’ll do a 3, 2, 1. Yes. Okay. Next word. You can skip that one. Yes. Next word, ice. Okay. Cute road truckers. Okay. All right. I’m gonna try harder now. Hold on. You weren’t trying with road truckers. It’s the first thing that came to my mind. But that’s a good show. I think you were still stuck on a show. Yeah. Well I’m still thinking about television. You break your brains too slow. Alright. Do you want me to do the countdown out loud? Yeah, do the count out the countdown. Okay. Next word. You did it in your head that time. Well, I didn’t know if you guys were gonna count down. Oh, okay. Yeah, you did the countdown. Okay. Last. 1, 2, 3 of us meals come on. That’s good. They’re both shows. Yeah, but one last of us. Yeah, I know. One we, we benefit from. Exactly. You gotta push, you gotta push the agenda, man. Last meals. Okay. All on Mythical Kitchen channel. You win that one. Not that it’s a competition. All right. Clean 1, 2, 3. Breath. Mr. Mr. Clean. All right, go ahead. What did, wait, what did you say? I said brush. Oh, okay. Interesting. I don’t know why I clean. I like to clean with a brush like a toothbrush. I came from the dentist this morning. I cleaned my teeth with a brush. Got that on the brain. Okay. Next one. I air. One. Hold on. Let’s really try. Yeah. I’m, I’m I, the first thing that comes to mind. I’m just doing the first thing that comes to my mind and I’m sticking to it. All right. All right. 1, 2, 3. Great quality, air quality. Okay. Are you just trying to finish, like put a word with it? Um, because don’t do that. Just do associations. No, I’m literally doing the first thing that comes up. Okay. But a lot of times that is a completion of a, of a, of a thought. Okay. All right. Okay. Ready? Green. 1, 2, 3. Frog, uh, Jo, uh, jolly, jolly Green, like Jolly Green Giant. Okay. All right. I almost said Kermit. We were both saying like mascots. I couldn’t remember his name. I just pictured him in my head. Jolly. Oh, his first name’s jolly. Okay. Potato. 1, 2, 3 fries, Mr. You did Mr. Clean and Mr. Potato? It just works. I only think of mascots for products. Okay. There. What’s wrong with me, Mr. Potato? Mr. Clean. And y’all ain’t green. All right. I’m gonna try to, I’m gonna try to go your direction. No, don’t try anything. Okay. Okay. Big 1, 2, 3. Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks. Oh, oh, no. What? Seriously? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Big is Tom Hanks. Yeah. Yeah. I was a little bit after you, but that was what I was gonna say. Haven’t seen it, but I know he is in it. What? You haven’t seen it? I haven’t seen it. And you know what? Don’t, don’t. I don’t care to He, he’s a kid in an adult’s body. Just because you know what the movie’s about doesn’t mean you’ve seen it. It’s just like, if that, well, I didn’t say, I just said I haven’t seen it. Hold on. Don’t, don’t see a need to. I know it’s about a man in a boy’s body, like knowing what a movie’s about isn’t, that’s not the same as experiencing the the, the movie. But it is a reason to not see the movie. No, it’s not. I don’t wanna see this movie. It’s from the eighties it’s dated. Probably know what it’s about is how you decide to see a movie. They probably. I have plot points that hinge on outdated technology like, like corded phones on the long list of movies that you should see. Big is not on that list for me. What about Splash? Uh, splash is not either. There’s so many movies to get to before you get to Big and Splash this star Tom Hanks. Alright. All right. Okay. Let’s do a couple more. We got it right though. Yeah. Why are we arguing? Let’s do it again. Okay. Michael, 1, 2, 3. Jackson, Michael Keegan, Keaton Keaton, Michael Keaton. I don’t even know who that is. He’s from Family Ties. Batman. Oh yeah. Michael Keaton. I. Oh yeah, I remember Michael Keaton, Batman. I’ve seen that. Yeah. Okay. One. Michael Jackson. Michael Jordan. I don’t think of Michael. Michael Keaton. I don’t think of Michael Jackson very often. Michael Jordan. I try not to. I, Michael Keaton, that’s, I’m just, I’m not Michael Keaton. Right. Okay. Do you want me to try to match you or just, I’m trying to do just the first thing that comes to my mind. Yeah. You try to match me and you try to match me. No, I’m gonna be me and you try to match. Oh, no, let’s, let’s try to figure out what we would have in common and I think we’ll get it right. Okay. Alright. Okay. Music one. Hold on. Okay. Two. Hold on. We are so angry right now. I’m just joking. Three, well, hold on. What’s the word? Music. Music is such a hard word. Okay. 1, 2, 3. Country base. Base. I’m all about that bass, man. Okay. Alright, thanks. Okay, bike. 1, 2, 3. Double. Come on. We rode a double bike. Yep. But you ride a mountain bike, but you don’t all the time. And you didn’t tell me to think about myself. You said to think about us. I, okay. Okay. So when I said think about us, I wasn’t thinking like, how does this thing connect us to an experience? I was like, what would be the first thing that both of us might think about if we had a second to think about? So are you trying to tie it to an experience that we’ve had or are you trying to tie it to I’m, it has to work for both of us. But in what? In what sense? In any sense. Okay. Like, you don’t ride a mountain bike. It has nothing to do with you. I. But a double bite, so, okay. We’ve ridden together, so. Right. So that’s D, that’s different. That’s not what I understood. What I understood we were doing is just like we’re trying to say the thing that we would both think of, not the thing that we both have. Okay. Experiential knowledge. All right. Now we’re just something that we both think of. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Okay. Pine. 1, 2, 3, 3. That’s easy, right? That’s easy. I’m glad you didn’t say nuts. That was the easy one. I almost said Hearst. Okay. Alright. See we, the golf course. If we, if we, if we’re, if we think about what we’re trying to do, like trying to say the same thing, we’re gonna, we’re gonna get this. That one was too easy. Tom Hanks. That was pretty good. Tom Hanks was really good. Okay. Pool. One, two, threes lifeguard. That’s a tough one. There’s a lot of things you can think of. Guard. Most pools I go to don’t have lifeguards. Yeah, it’s your problem. Hold on. He’s gonna sneeze and we’ll take another apple. 1, 2, 3. Bottom counter. What did you say? Bottom. Bottom, gene? Apple. Apple, bottom. Gene jeans. That’s really what you thought about, thought. Really surprised. No one said pie. Yeah, that would be, why would we say that? Because you like pie. I don’t like apple pie. He doesn’t like apple pie. Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah. The, the, I don’t, I don’t like the apples in it. Okay. That was, if it was just a applesauce pie, I’d really like that. That was a miss.
