Welcome to Ear Biscuits, the podcast where two lifelong friends talk about life for a long time. I’m Link. And I’m Rhett. This week at the round table of Dim Lighting, we’re going to hear about Links two birthday parties. I was present for one of them in which, uh, something very funny happened for not the first time. And uh, also we have both now seen movies that the other guy had seen. And talked about. And now we’ve seen them and yeah. Yeah. Um, we’ll also check some of your some, some of your voicemails ’cause. You’re important to us. Um, yeah. I’ve second only to family and God, I’ve sec. That would be okay. So family and God are one tied for one? Nope. No, but what was it, Jesus. Others in you, joy. That’s only way to spell joy. I have instituted a two party system in my life for my 47th birthday and it has come to a close and I’ve concluded that it is good. I have two different parties. That’s what I did. I could have had a third party. I might do my, the next year might be a three party system. Third party could be a four party. Don’t we need one of those? Third party. You keep trying to push the religion and politics buttons, but, um, they’re inoperable today. Well, I mean, you’re the one who responded to ’em. I said two party system. Yes. That was, that was a, a political pun, but nothing more than that. The third party was just really the next thing. You really went for it. Um, you’re like a middle schooler deciding that his friend groups can’t mix. It’s Monday morning and as of this past weekend, my two party system was completely executed flawlessly. I had a, I had a friend party on Friday night, and then I had a different friend party on Saturday night. The previous year I had had everybody at the one party, which was fine, but I felt stretched a bit thin. You also were like, uh, even at that party, you, you could, I, you could always tell what you’re thinking about and it usually is. Something like that, a very specific detail about like, how is this party right now that I’m at? How is it going? Well, I was the host Brett. I know, but like you, I was, was hosting. But you would, you would like go around and you would talk to people and then you would sit there and you would look at people and then you would say things. And I was like, he’s really thinking about how this is going. And I find it curating experience. The application was that, Hmm. Something about it wasn’t quite right, so you needed to make a change. It was really great for what it was. But this year I needed a change. I needed to have just more quality intimate party encounters. Okay. Than a broad stretch thin. I, I wanted to be a dollop and not like a spread. Okay? Mm-hmm. So this year I dobbed myself on, you know, my longstanding, I got my longstanding tried and true. Friends, I just called you one of my true friends. Right. Oh, I appreciate that. You were in the True Friends party. Yeah. And then the next night was, it was your work friends. Was the dad friends party? Remember that? The dad, friends party. Dad friends. Okay. But not their wives, right? Nope, not their wives. Okay. So you’ve just basically said that you don’t need the wi the wives in that group. Well, some of the wives I’m close with, but some of the wives I’m not, some of the wives like to show up for things and some of them don’t. Oh, yeah. So, okay. It’s, it’s not as uniform there. So, okay. This was my solution to fix all that. And, um, I’m feeling great except I, I think I’m, I might be a bit tired ’cause it was quite a weekend. ’cause Friday we, um, it, it was, um, conceptualized as a small intimate dance party with some DJing. Mm-hmm. I wanted to be doing some DJing. And, um, I can’t remember what point it was. How late did we go? We went till like I left 30, like 1230. 1230 or one, you know. Um, I think, I think me and Christie got home at one 30 from the, from the party. Yeah. We were the last to leave. ’cause we host party party That was a chicken nuggets and cinnamon roll party. Yeah. Right. Quite a lot of charcuterie. Well, around the nuggets. I asked Christy, I was, I said, I said Christy, I just want chicken nuggets and cinnamon rolls. And then of course she rolls up with, uh, and I went over there early. I went over to the creative house where we were having this party and I was like getting some stuff ready. Turns out there wasn’t that much to get ready, but I was over there an hour and a half early. Okay. And then Christie shows up like an hour or 45 minutes early and she’s like making multiple trips and she’s talking to herself. Yeah. And I’m like, huh. And then I realize, boy, she keeps bringing stuff in. Yep. And stuff and stuff. Like, she had this board, like a five foot board. Mm-hmm. A charcuterie board that she put down and yeah, she put chicken nuggets on it, but then she put all this other charcuterie stuff on it and I’m realizing, oh, I should have helped. I should have helped. Well, can I tell you, I didn’t even realize. I, I was just like, nuggets and semi rolls. How easy is that gonna be? I’m gonna handle the music, I’ll handle making sure that the places. Leaf blown and everything’s good there and you know, we’ll meet in the middle. But there was a big discrepancy. Yeah. In terms of the amount of prep that Christie put into my party and how much I put in. And I walked, I say into the midst of it and I told you, I told you, well first of all, when we left work that day, I was like, you said don’t be fashionably late. Don’t be flash fashion, be late. And I was like, well that sounds like a, it sounds like it was directed at me personally as if I was gonna be fashionably late. I wanted you and Jesse to be there on time. So we showed up at like 7 34 right on time. And uh, I noticed as I walked into the kitchen that Christie had a look on her face and you had a look on her face, your face. And I did have a look on her face ’cause I’m the one who put it there. And, um, she was attempting to make this charcuterie board and I could tell that based on what I saw. I was walking into a situation in which you are not being helpful. But you, it wasn’t that you weren’t trying to be, but your attempts to be helpful were obviously coming across as a hindrance and I really felt for her, I had already been like monstrously unhelpful. And I think that’s really what you were feeling and what you had just done is history. It was for some reason you had cut the fan on. That was a bucket charcuterie report. Oh yeah. And you had blown stuff all over it. Well, I turned on the, I was like, there’s a fan that’ll suck the air outta here and it’ll get some ventilation going because it had gotten hot in that room with all the charcuterie. So I turned on the fan and it makes this weird noise. ’cause we’ve never turned on this fan at the creative house. And it, it was like chopping stuff up. Yeah. And then it’s like a garbage disposal disposal on, on top of it. And so she’s like moving everything. And it was like all this detri, just like, just, but also what you were, I mean, it wasn’t helpful. It wasn’t helpful. It was unnecessary too, because when I walked in it was so cold. Oh, it was so cold in the house. Well, we got a wires crossed a bit, right? It is like, but you were, but you, but you, the first thing you said to me was like, um. I got the AC on and I was thinking like, it’s not a hot day. Uh, it’s already, you have it on 67 and it is 67 in here. I was like, well, I don’t really know what, I dunno where this is coming from. I’m glad you’re here on time so you can help us make sure everything’s okay. But the great thing about, uh, our relationship between our, between all of the friends there is that Christie could just tell us that she was currently annoyed by you and we were like of Yes. And, uh, you about said, you almost said Of course. And uh, and um, then she was able to, during the moment of bringing out the, uh, the cake, which was the cinnamon rolls. Yeah. And she was able to be like, I’ve been, you know, in a funny way, basically, yes, I’ve been, I’ve been upset with Link. But then she was like, but you all understand? And everyone was like, yes, we do. And we love him for it. And I gave a speech, and the speech was basically about how, you know, it’s, it’s nice to throw a party with your closest friends, so, so you don’t have to hide the fact that, um, you’re, you’re in a fight. Yeah. And I said it was a beautiful thing. Christy’s the one who called it a fight. And I said, well, hold on, it’s not a fight because I agree with you. But she’s like, yeah, I’m just perturbed with you because you sign me up to do all this stuff and then you’re not helpful at all. And I’m like, I agree. Not because you’re not trying, it’s just sometimes your choices, I think the word was maybe are counterproductive. A little oblivious too. Yeah. Oblivious to what it takes. Yeah. Maybe I have what it takes. I’m just oblivious. To knowing what it takes only, yeah, only one way to find out, try different things. I’d rather it be that than for me to be, uh, you know, let’s see what’s knowingly hurting the situation, knowing what I needed to do, but I’m incapable of doing. Yeah, that’s worse, isn’t it? Isn’t it better to be capable but to be oblivious? Not actually do it. Don’t answer that. The worst is to be both capable and knowingly make a decision to not help. That would be the worst. Oh yeah. That’s not me. Right. Um, and she, you know, we had a, we had a fun party and I did win her over, I started playing all of her favorite Billie Eilish songs. And I want her over. And I think she was, yeah. She wasn’t pretty decent by the end of the night. She wasn’t. I mean, it was, she enjoyed all y’all, it was a comical Yeah. Annoyance. It wasn’t like, I’m not speaking to you. Yeah. It’s like one friend said, you know, it’s like, y’all been together for 25 years of marriage, something tells me y’all gonna be all right. I was like, yeah, exactly. And we were both standing there when that conversation was being had. So it wasn’t, but something happened. Yeah. Something that happened that has happened before. Yeah. Um, so we, we, we had a friend and then I’ll tell you about my second party that you weren’t invited to. We had a friend, uh, there who is a producer, a musician, and, uh, he, Brian, the guy who was in our, uh, we 3D printed a fart video Yes. For won the whole season Zero. Yeah. Who’s a, we call it, who’s a good friend. And you know, this is the kind of friend group in which. Maybe if you’ve been working on something, you can share it with the group. Yeah. Sometimes that happens. Yeah. He was talking to me about, um, a new sound that he was working on, which was pretty exciting. And I was like, oh, I gotta hear this. So he was like, well, I got a couple of demos I can text to you. You can play it if you want to. So it was like, he left it on me. I was like, yeah. Later on, later on in the evening, there was like a perfect time. Everybody was hanging out, we were listening to music and I was like, all right, I’m gonna play Brian’s letting me play some of his, a couple of demos that he’s got that he’s worked up. And it’s on your phone ’cause you’re connected to the system. Mm-hmm. And so everybody, most everybody comes into the room, you start playing it and it’s, it’s a dance track. Yeah. You know, so people are be, who have been dancing continue or start to dance. And then people who were in the kitchen started coming outta the kitchen and came into the living room and they start dancing and we’re like, yeah, this is Brian’s demo. Whatever. Yeah. And then right when we’re, everyone is on board, everyone is completely entranced by this sound. It goes away. And that’s because Link’s phone went to sleep. ’cause you were holding it and you were connected to it. And when your phone goes to sleep. Yeah. Which is about as quickly as an iPhone can go to sleep. That’s ’cause I don’t like it. I, I like it to get its rest. So I put it on the setting where it’ll get its rest. And at that point, Mike, who was also there, said basically he was like, okay, yep, this, this has happened before. And we then we began to recount the multiple times. I think one time we were listening to my music. And another time it was, you were trying to play a song for us, but what you would do is you would bring it up on your phone and then you would get distracted by the song, put your phone down, and then it would go to sleep. And one time it happened, I think four times in a row on the same song. Yeah. And so, so it happened, it happened to Brian’s song, and then I’m looking at my phone and you can’t just wake the phone up and just unpause it? No. For some reason, with the way that I was playing it, you know, you texted us in some QuickTime player, I don’t know, you had to like hit a volume button. You had to do some things to keep the phone engaged. In order for me to restart it, I had to restart the song from the beginning. Right. And, but we made the call in that moment, Mike, and I said, give the phone to someone else. We we’re like, we’re we’re, let’s not go through this again. So we gave the phone to Brian, and Brian took your phone, and for some reason we could have just turned. The go to sleep function off on your phone. He futs him with my settings. But, but, but so Brian would just stay there and he kept like hitting the screen to make sure, yeah. Keep away. He never lost focus. He played, keep away. He played the whole song, then played another song. So he’s playing another song. So he starts the second song he’s in, he’s in charge of the phone, he’s staying on top of it. And then I’m watching you and you go over to the DJ booth and you’re kinda like, you are like, you’re kind of into what he’s doing. You’re like, so you’re kind of like, you’re like motioning or whatever. Yeah, I’m into what he’s doing. And then you put your headphones on. But you do it in that like DJ way where like one ear out, one ear in, and then you immediately go down to the. Whatever it is, and you like hit something to like adjust it and immediately the song stops. So you found a way, and what you did, Mike diagnosed this, is that as soon as you did anything on your system, you sent a set, basically a signal override to, to your sound system to come back to whatever’s happening at the DJ booth. Yeah. And it’s, the funny thing is, I saw you doing it and I was like thinking, what is, what is he doing right now? Like we’re all listening to this thing right here. I don’t know how DJing works, so, but when you, you were like, and then it went off and you were like, I just looked up. Was that me? Yes. It you. No, I don’t, I don’t think I said it was that. Me, at first, I knew it was me. ’cause the moment I moved the, the slider just slightly. And I, and I, the only other person who witnessed it and everybody else was just looking around and Brian had the phone and Brian’s like, I don’t know. He said, he said, no, no. Everybody looked at the phone and looked at Brian. Everybody thought Brian did it. And I was like, well, I’m gonna be quiet. So I was quiet and everybody looked at Brian. Brian was like, uh, it’s still going. Yeah. And then I was like, everybody looked at me and I was over there. It was me. Yeah. You found, found a way. Well, even without the phone, I still found a way to go. You found a, when you found a way that was, and he was, and he was like, it was just getting to the good part. I wa I did, I did take the phone back and then, oh no. You know what? He found a way to fast forward back to the right part. Yeah. So we did get to listen to the good part. Uh, so we did do that. But yeah, I. Here’s what I was thinking at that moment. Okay? Yeah. This is his second demo. He’s only got two. Everybody’s in the room, everybody’s into it. Oh, you wanted to be ready for the next song. What I have to do is I have to be ready when this song is over to to ride the wave into another song. I’ve got everybody exactly where I want him. Brian’s done his work with his demo. Now I can take. How everybody’s dancing in there, they’re vibing. And I can just, I can, once that song’s over, everybody’s gonna clap and tell Brian how great it is and how excited they are. And then as the, as the volume goes up in celebration, then all of a sudden, bam, I drop a banger. Yeah. And that’s what I was doing. And now I’m sensing a pattern. No one questions your intentions. You always intend, well, like when you turn the fan on over the charcuterie, yeah. It was thought, it was thoughtful, it was full of thought. It, it was full of thought, but then it ends up not kind of making a mess. And in this situation, you, you what your plan was, a was sound, your execution was where it couldn’t have been worse. So I just think it’s about, you know, the really, the North Star for you is, uh, what, how can your plan and your execution of the plan come to the same level? That’s really, that’s, you know what, and it’s great. It’s great to be 47 and to have that as your North Star. I will say at one point. Another North Star is like to dj, you have to keep your wits about you. And there was a certain point in the party when, um, I had gone witless, I had just gone balls to the wall witless. Mm-hmm. And I couldn’t figure out how to get any of my DJ equipment to work. I don’t know if you noticed this, was that the lull? It was when it was quiet, when there was no music. I, this was, I think this was earlier in the evening actually, when like I’m playing music for my phone at a certain point and I’m trying to play music for my records and I couldn’t get my records to take back over in the way that they did later for Brian inadvertently. So I ended up having just to play music for my phone and um, which was kind of a defeat as a dj, you know, I have to do that. But, um, I. Oh, I thought you learned my lesson. You just made that choice at some point to be like, I don’t wanna have to worry about the records. The whole thing. I, yeah. I lean, I leaned into that and that worked. Like when the, when the dance party was at its most dance party. I actually wasn’t even DJing. I was just playing music for my phone, but I was also dancing. But it was a, I mean, it was good. It was good. Nobody, none the wiser, nobody know music. This is all stuff. I mean, one time I went over there and saw that the records weren’t turning. I was like, oh, okay. We’re doing something a little different. Yeah. Even at one point, uh, Christie was like, oh, this is my song. He’s playing my record right now. And I’m thinking, well, technically no. But it is from the record that I had that I was gonna play. But now I’m just, but I mean, record can be used as in that, that, that still means my song. Yeah. I got, I got it working later, my wits came back to me. Uh, it was a good party. Thank you. It was a good party and, um, it was a good party, good friends, good party. Anything could have happened. It would’ve been a good party. ’cause of the people we had, Jesse commented as we were going home, how blessed we were to have the friends that we have. And I definitely agree. We have. Um, so I think you made the, so okay. A, a place where you’re ex your plan and your execution really came together is I think is the two party system. I’m not saying that she would not have been saying that if you had the wider group of people, but maybe she wouldn’t be. Uh, yeah, I don’t think so. You know, because those are people that we’ve really had a lot of experiences with and we’ve bonded and we, um Right, which really, there’s a lot, there’s a depth of trust Right. With that group. And it is really unusual. And you’re not getting, you’re not getting to, you’re not being introduced to anybody. Yeah. You know, it’s like if you’re at a party when everybody already knows everybody, then you’re just catching up. If there’s more than like a couple of people that you’re meeting for the first time, it changes the vibe entirely of the party. It does, it does. It gives people, uh, the excuse to clump up and also to leave early. Yeah, I agree. You know, I, I, one of the things that Jesse said, here’s a time for it. Um, it was interesting that she, that she put it this way. She was like, you know, there’s a lot of really good men in that group, huh uh, which is because that, that’s true. I think that’s a hard, hard to find. And, um, you know, you got these guys who have been like, everybody in that room has been in a relationship Yeah. For a minimum of a decade. Yeah. Most people. A couple. Mm-hmm. And it’s just like the level of. Drama is so low. It’s beautiful. There’s just, you know, it’s just this low drama, high loyalty, yeah, high commitment people. Right? And, and, and, which is kind of what I was saying, part of it, like, it’s a safe space to say that, you know, we’re putting on this party and we’re in the midst of a fight. You might experience some tension. Yeah. Don’t worry about it. And also like, the way it, it’s not your first time that everybody was dancing. Um, this is not, I mean, this is not, what I would say is like, if, if you were to just see a sudden like, uh, video feed of this group dancing, you wouldn’t be like, these are the coolest people in la. Right. You wouldn’t, you know what I’m saying? You would be like, no, we’re not. These are people who just don’t care. These are people who aren’t Yeah. Trying to be a certain way for each other in la That can be such a difficult thing. Jesse, you know, she is, she’s a, she’s a designer. She appreciates art and she talked me into going to an art show. I’ve been to a few, and one of them was at this house in Hollywood and it was like, you know, if you’re like a member of something, like you’re on some mailing list or whatever, you find out about these things. And so she’s on that kind of thing. And one night she was like, let’s go to this art show. It’s in this like art house. Like it’s a, it is a house, but there’s art up in the house and the house is in a neighborhood, but it’s the neighborhood just above the Chateau Marmont. So it’s that part of town. Okay. This is Hollywood Hills. And I wasn’t particularly excited, but I was like, this is something a little different. I’ll go to it. And we went to it and there’s a line outside. It takes a while to get in. And then we get in and just, it was a part of LA that we don’t often find ourselves in. We go to parties that are sometimes industry related. And so there will be a lot of people who are trying to impress and are dressed in a certain way and we’re right there with ’em trying to be cool and whatever. Yeah. But this was something in which it was just this art show and there was this kind of a scene there. First of all, I definitely felt like the oldest person there. Young, young people shopping for art, huh? Bunch of 20 something year olds. Who are the kind of people who would go to an art thing in la? All super cool. Super good looking. Maybe not about the art though. I mean a little bit about the art and a little bit about how they look and how other people look or whatever. Okay. And. I definitely didn’t wanna stay. We looked at the art and then we, we left and Jesse didn’t wanna stay either. I was like, I, I’m not, I’m not the kind of guy that goes into a place like that and starts talking to people that I don’t know. So I’m gonna see the art. I’m gonna leave. And, um, but so many of the spaces in LA can be like that. We don’t go to those places very often, but it’s just so refreshing to be amongst a group of people who just, it’s not about that. It’s not, it’s not about what do you, what do you think of me? And that’s what I’m thinking about right now. Yeah. Everyone’s thinking about themselves and how they’re perceived, and that can be so many spaces and it’s just, it’s nice. It’s relaxing to have a, you know, go to a place where that’s not the case. Yeah. I didn’t even think about what I was gonna wear. I only thought about the weather. Yeah. Whether or not we were gonna go outside or not Uhhuh, so I had a jacket. Yeah. That was good success, you know, and um, yeah. You know, I was glad, I was glad to bring us together and I appreciate you saying in the group chat that you appreciated me creating the opportunity to bring everybody together. Yeah, right. That’s what I do. Like Montel Williams. Yeah. And specifically I think and Montel Jordan too. I think what I said, I’m like both of them was I appreciate Link, this is how we do it. I appreciate Link being Inten, intentionally bringing all of us together and unintentionally making Christy upset. And I appreciate Christie for doing all the work. She is so awesome. The next night, Christie wasn’t invited, so she was off the hook. She was like, listen, you’re doing your thing. I. Um, you know, this is, this is my, my dad club boys. There’s, uh, six, six of us total. And, um, I was like, all right guys, I wanna make a real go with this. We’re gonna meet up at four 15 and we’re gonna go until, uh, I’ll just go ahead and tell you. I ended up, I got in bed at four. Good God. Yeah. I can’t do that anymore, man. I mean, it was, it was a, it was a big night. I, um, I got a tickets to see Friendship. Tim Robinson, Paul Road movie that you highly recommended at the Alamo Draft House downtown. Oh, and I ’cause a, it was one of the few places that it was still playing. Yeah, you’re gonna have to see it on streaming now if you haven’t seen it. Um, and two, it’s an experience to see a movie at the Alamo Draft House. It’s a really cool venue, and I was reminded, I was really happy that we had worked with them for good mythical evening, two years in a row. And like people buy tickets and they can watch the event there. Um, if you’ve never been to Alamo Draft House, you sit down and somebody comes in front of you and, uh, waits on you. They’ll bring you beers, all types of food, and anything you ask for. And then when they’re playing their previews, the, they have like custom made. Previews, like original content interspersed within them. Sometimes they’ll show archival footage. They, they curate a preview experience, which is fun. So you go to the movies very early. The moment, the moment you sit down, yeah. You are engaged with something that’s actually entertaining. Actually entertaining. And they’ll, that’s put a pin in that because I had the exact opposite experience that I want to complain about in a little bit. Okay. So here they, and they will show actual trailers, which a number of these movies just seems so good. There’s like this Paul p PT Anderson movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio that looks, is that one battle after another or something like That’s called, I can’t remember what it’s called, but it’s, it looks really good. Yeah. His last movie I think was Licorice Pizza, which I really enjoyed. Um, one battle after another. One battle after another. Yeah. It looks really good. And, um, so I wanted to give the boys that experience. Only one of the guys had been to Alamo Draft House. So it’s like, you know, you’re walking, every part of it is a, is is thoughtful, except, except the parking and the getting to the theater. Well, we Ubered Oh, then you, great. So you fix that. If you have to park, you park in this, this parking deck, and then it’s like a maze to one solitary elevator that moves very slowly that gets you to the right level. Oh, really? Yeah. They gotta work on that. I just dropped off curbside, but that’s better. Um, so first, the first thing we do is we watch this movie. And let me tell you right now, I, I mean, I told him, I was like, listen, some of y’all might hate me when this movie’s over because Tim Robinson is a very polarizing comedian, but you just need to at the least embrace what he’s going for. His level of commitment to it. Okay. Turns out I didn’t need to give that. These are my friends. I mean, they got good taste. They hang out with me. That’s true. They’ve been tolerating you for years, right? They can. They can take, can take Robinson. All right. You’ve been in lie admiring nothing but my commitment. Right. All these years. So it’s like, you know, just keep doing that. The movie was uproar. Funny, man. I mean, you told me that you saw the movie with your brother and your family’s back home in North Carolina and you were talking about how did you talk about On this podcast? Yes. On this podcast. Yeah, on this podcast. You remember about how being in the room with all those people laughing, made all the difference. So I was really looking forward to this People I. Right from the get go. We’re just laughing so hard. Do people at this movie, do people laugh as soon as he came into focus and said that one line? Oh, you mean when they’re in the cancer support meeting where his wife is finally free and clear of cancer and he is like, it’s not coming back like that. Like that’s Afus the opening line. Yeah, and it’s, he’s l la is a great place to watch a movie. Oh my God. This is, you know, it was so funny. I was really happy that, that, that indie theater in North Carolina was such a good spot, but the, the response that you get from the audience can be, make it a much more enjoyable experience than just watching it at home. I feel like I encountered a brown lining to this, this cloud, this wonderful cumulus cloud of just, just cackling with laughter in a group of people. Brown lining. Yeah, dude. Um, what do you think about this? Okay, so. All, we’re all sitting on a row, five of us. One guy was meeting us later, and then at the end of the row, there’s a couple that’s the end of the row. And so it’s me, my friend Brian, and then the couple, and they were laughing, boy. They were laughing. The woman was laughing so hard at stuff. And then I noticed that whenever something funny was said, she not only would laugh, but she would repeat, oh, she’s a repeater. She would repeat What? Oh, no, no, no. Was funny. That was said. Yeah, we don’t need a repeater. And it’s a, it’s a thing, I mean, I’ve listened to podcast where this is a thing culturally, we’re like, people are getting, and I think it’s a Po po podcast, podcast culture thing in some settings when you were friends, the way that they tell you that they think you’re funny is not just by laughing at it, but by saying it back to you. People do this on podcasts and apparently in movie theaters, we don’t do this. No. I actually, I think it’s a different thing. She thinks it’s a different thing. No, I, no, I do this to you, but the way I do it, and usually it’s on GMM. Half of my jokes on GMM are just saying what you just said in a different way. To put it in context for the normal people you’re, you’re making, but you’ve made a new joke. I’ve made a new joke. By your credit, just saying it with timing. That’s different. This woman was never making a new joke. I know. She, I know what she, I know what she was doing, celebrating how funny the specifics of the words were by saying those specific words again. And she was a bit too close to me. At first. I liked it ’cause I was like, yeah, that was funny. Just in case you didn’t hear it. It’s like, close captioning. She’s like, what was that? Oh yeah. There it is. There it is. That’s right. It’s not coming back. That’s it. The movie was so funny that it didn’t matter. I’d rather have her repeating lines than it being quiet. I mean, it was just, I was laughing so hard. It was the first time when I just realized that like, I was laughing so hard that my face was just in a, it was like frozen in a fixture of smiling. Like, I, it is so great. Even when you’re like laughing, you’re like, it’s a cringe thing too. ’cause how many people were like, oh my God. Oh no. It’s cringe comedy. Oh no. Every single scene there was people who covered their faces. Here’s the interesting thing, he didn’t write it or directed. It was written and directed by another person. For him, for him, obviously, and, and to perfection. Like written for his character to just step in and do it. And I’m so glad that, like, I would think the chances of saying no to that are pretty high. Oh, somebody wrote something for, I write stuff for myself. I have a, you know, I want an Emmy for my. You know, for my Comedy Central show, I’ve done another show. So I would think, okay, so now all of a sudden somebody’s gonna swoop in and write for my character. It’s not, I don’t know the ins and outs of it, but I was really encouraged that it worked so well. Every scene was set up that you knew and you just had to just tighten up as the scene unfolded, because you’re just waiting for him to just interact in it in a way that just is always the worst possible way. It also, where the story goes, it never got old, the choices of where the story goes. Yeah. I, I don’t know. So now I’m reading that I don’t know what my favorite, you were gushing about it and my favorite moment of the movie is, but, uh, this one’s in the trailer, so spoiler alert, but it’s in the trailer, but, and I was, I can’t not watch a trailer once it starts. But the thing is, is it didn’t ruin this moment for me. You talking about the sliding glass? No. When they’re at, when they’re in the basement for the first night and the guy’s talking about the trouble that he’s having and they start singing that song together because they’re, ’cause they’re an acapella group and you didn’t know that. Right? And he didn’t know that. But the choices, the choices for something like that to happen when you conceptualize something like that, it’s really difficult to know if it’s going to land. And I just feel like so many choices were not the safe choice, but they were the right this, this would be the, this is the funniest choice. This is the most unexpected choice. But all of it completely makes sense going into the sewer. Like it’s so little boy. Yeah. Little grown up boys who are still trying to be, who are trying to be men. Oh, I loved it. Then he takes, then he takes her down there. Yeah. And she was great. So she was the, um, the star of House of cars. House of cars, yeah. Kate Mara. And she’s perfect for the, when he’s able to put the fact that he was able to play, you know, have Paul wrote essentially doing his anchorman character. Yeah. And Kate Mara being totally straight, but still messed up in her own way. Oh yeah. Like to, to be with him, you have to be two screws loose. And like, so the way the son, the way that she talks about her ex-husband and the son, like kissing her on the loose, just like she, she’s intimate with everyone except him. Okay. So the other movie, the movie that I saw, and it’s funny because I had this, I kind of feel like I had an opposite experience of you in a couple ways. I’m an a MC man. I’m sorry. Because first of all, there, there’s an A MC in Burbank. That I will go to. I think I’m a Stubbs member. I don’t know. I go into the yellow line Uhhuh and you know, and why are you going into the yellow line if you don’t know? No, I know I am. I’m not the, I don’t pay a certain fee and get to watch as many movies as I want to. That’s a di that’s like another thing. I’m the whatever. You can kind of get like a little discount on your popcorn and you go into the line early. Yeah. And they have the Coca-Cola freestyle machine. I know. Okay. We, I made it very clear. We know, we know that specialty. If you don’t have a caffeine free option other than mug root beer, who do you think we are? We want to sleep. Why do we not have caffeine free options at the movie? 90% of all movie watching is done at night. Give us caffeine free options. It will be the number one thing people drink. Isn’t that where they make all their money anyway? Caffeine, free popcorn. I don’t understand. Caffeine. Free diet drinks. That’s what we need. I. Um, but then we sat down with our water, God, caffeine, free popcorn and water hard times. Felt like I was in the medieval times, not the restaurant, but like literally back, back in those days. And, uh, I was like, the modern world is we, we don’t need water anymore. So I sit down again. I was there to see centers late to the party. Okay. You had seen centers. Yep. And I gotta say, um, everyone is built up sinner, and except for me, you, you had a different take. All you told me was, it was a little too built up for me, is what you told me. That’s all I said. And, uh, I knew nothing about the movie. I. Nothing other than that. Michael B. Jordan was in it. I didn’t know he and his brother were in it. Yeah, I didn’t know that either. Uh, I didn’t know any, I didn’t know the twist. I didn’t know the unexpected thing. I didn’t know it. You should loved it a piece. I loved it. Yeah. It is great. I loved it. It was a wonderful movie. If you don’t know anything, it was a wonderful movie. So you knew that was gonna happen? No, uh, I had an inkling. I’m just saying I liked it so much. It overcame the regal experience. Wow. It was over, it was able to overcome Regal. What about the spit? That’s my favorite part. That’s my favorite part. Yeah. Um, no, I loved it. It’s not friendship, like friendship. You know, I met her. Yeah. I she was on a couch at a party and you went over there. You were there. And I let you do that. Um. It’s not friendship because friendship is a movie that is, feels like it was made for me. Like it was like somebody looked into my brain and was like, like, it’s gonna happen in 10 years when you’re just gonna sit down at Netflix and AI’s gonna make the movie for you and we’re all gonna be outta jobs. Um, but. As if you could tap into my brain and just make the thing that I wanted. It would be friendship. It wouldn’t be sinners, but, but if you had to invest in something that needed to be made, it’s just so, it’s just, you’d invest in sinners. Right? It’s just so well done. Yes. Great movie. It’s just so well done. It just keeps, it just keeps happening. Everything that happens is like, well, that was, did you stay for the, for the end scenes, for the end and then the end? Yeah. You told me that. Jenna told me about that. Yeah. Jenna told me about the second, at the end of the credits. Yeah. I don’t want movies to go away and I don’t want movie theaters to go away because there’s, you know, they, I got it, got a little, it, it got close and it still a little bit, it still is hanging by a thread, like the pandemic. There’s people who won’t go see movies now, but I don’t know, there’s just something about seeing movies. You, you, they’re convinced that it’s, and I’ve been convinced that it’s not better. Just see it at home. It is better in the movie theater. Be lazy. It is better in the movie theater, but theater it is better a, a eight foot wide head. It is better. It is better than an eight inch head. Yeah. It’s better, you know, I mean. Do we need to break out our tape? No, we don’t need to measure anything. I, I just, I don’t want to let go of that. Maybe I’m old school, but I just don’t think it’s the same. It’s definitely not the same on a phone. There’s kids who watch movies on phones. We kids. Yeah. Well, they’re the, the, the kids will be the adults and then they’ll make the rules. We cannot let them win this battle. So we’re pulling for movies and a MCI think they’re doing a really good job. I think they’re doing a really good job. Yeah. You, you have a Coca-Cola freestyle machine. You’re 99% of the way from me. It’s the only place I can get mellow yellow, zero on. Yes. On the planet. Like I went to, uh, what do they call ’em? Gas stations. And I go in there. I’m like, I’m gonna go ahead and get myself a treat, and I wanted a mellow yellow zero. That’s not gonna be in there. Matter of fact, mellow yellow’s not even gonna be in there. What’s wrong with our coast? Nobody likes Mellow Yellow anymore. Yeah. Y’all confused about that. Mellow yellow Zero is, I need that in my life. Can you get it in cans?

I haven’t been there, but it’s must to be like the, one of the best places. I’ve been there twice. They know me. I. Oh, Barbara. Yeah. I might get a little extra something. Uh, it’s a fusion Indian fusion restaurant. Very thoughtful. You can get like your, your butter chicken and your non, but you can get some really fun apps. Did we not go to that in new? There’s one in New York, right? Uh, yeah, there is. Yeah. We, and I put it on my list Yes. Of restaurants and I forgot that they had put one here. And the booths are really fun to sit in with a group ’cause you’re kind of sitting, sitting all in a circle. So it’s fun. Very good. We then our other friend met us and we, we Yep. Is on the New York City list. I recommend it. I gotta go. And then we went, um, we left there and we went to, uh, the arts district. There’s a, there’s a bar Cade there that has like, across from, um, Deano Pizza. Pizza, yeah. It’s called like the bar’s called 88 something. I don’t know why. I can’t remember right now. But it’s, um, you know, pinball machines, arcade games, and then, uh, DJs spending like old school hip hop, which is nice and I love that. So we hung out there for a while until we went to, um, another DJ event, which you buy tickets to this event in Chinatown. You like walk through like the Chinatown part of LA and then you, you, you, you go to this club and they have an event called Boombox LA that they do, I think it’s the first Saturday of every month. And so they’ll have like, um, established DJs come through there who were like very good at what they do. So there was like a couple, we, we watched a couple of DJs there and yeah, we stayed there till like two 30 in the morning and then, um, and nobody dropped off. Nobody dropped off. Everybody did good. That’s a lot. Everybody’s up for it. That’s a lot. So, yeah, I know I can count on those guys. To stick with me. I can’t sleep. I can’t sleep in, so I can’t, I just don’t stay up unless it’s, I literally slept till this never happens. But after two nights of partying, my double, double party system, I literally slept until 1230. Like I wish man, like a teenager. I mean, that doesn’t happen to me. And it’s happening less and less. The more that I stay up late, I’m still getting up because my brain wakes me up saying I have to drink coffee or I’m gonna hurt too much, is what it says to me. Hmm. That’s why I wake up. But that’s still like nowhere near any later than night 7:45 AM just sleep. I, I couldn’t believe it. I slept till afternoon. It’s never happened. That’s a good sleep too. You get good, good dreams when you do that morning I skipped a whole coffee. I woke up for my next coffee and it was fine. Yeah. It was funny when I was getting outta bed, I was, I would’ve, I would’ve bet money was eight 30. Like, that’s how out of it I was. But I, I had a good time. Yeah, I’m sure there’s still gonna be, I’m, I’m gonna, I’m, I’ll probably crash again this afternoon. I don’t know, but it was totally worth it. I had a, I had a great time. We both groups. I had the best time with you though, Rhett. Oh, yep. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yep. I had the best time with you link. Yep. Thank you. It was fun. Any questions? Well, I was asking how about the parties? Oh, yeah. Any questions about my parties, Jamie? Or, or a voicemail? How about a voicemail? Okay. Unless you do have a question. I do. Well, I had this thing that I saw on a TikTok of this woman crashing out in real time in front of everybody. Um, in like the best way. It’s like lighthearted. Okay. But I thought you guys would get a kick out of this. Um, so this woman is asking. What the color of her chair is. Okay. Because she’s very confused about it. Is this chair gray or blue? Because I’m giving it away to someone and I’m sending pictures and I’m like, it’s a blue chair. And they’re like, that’s gray. And I’m like, I’m pretty sure it’s blue. And she’s like, can you get more pictures? It’s gray. And I’m like, okay. But my couch and my chair have always been blue, but now she’s gaslighting me and I’m starting to believe it. I’m like, is it gray? Is this blue or gray? Yeah. Take it to TikTok. Okay. This is the chair. Yeah, it’s gray. I think it’s photographing a little more gray, but it matches this couch, which I’ve always said is blue. Is gray. It’s also gray. Yeah. Okay. I think it’s my phone. It’s definitely blue. What color is this gray? Or is it blue? And also I, I don’t, shouldn’t be stressing this much over a free chair. You either one or don’t. It is free, but is it blue or is it gray? Yeah. So it’s not blue or gray. It’s free is what you should be telling. The Facebook marketplace person. Yeah. Your phone is processing the information and it’s spitting it, it spitting it out is gray. I mean, yeah. There’s really no way that we can know, honestly, we’re not there. But the, what you just showed us was gray. If it’s in the, like what we saw was gray. Yeah. You say, you know what? Gray to the camera, blue to the eye. That’s what you should say. Gray to the camera, blue to the eye. It’s a feature, not, not a, not a bug. So she goes on when like. Makes all these different videos where she’s bringing stuff around her house to show she’s going nuts. She’s going absolutely nuts. And the more items she brings, like she, she’s like, like this blanket is blue. And everyone’s like, honey, let me see the blanket. Everything else she brings everything, let me see, this else she brings is nuts. Like she doesn’t have anything blue. She has a couple blue things and so she know what blue is. It’s interesting to see like, hold on. And it got, this is has almost 20 million views by the way of like everyone just this woman finding out she’s colorblind in real time. Yeah. That might be what’s happening. You think that’s what it is? Uh, just wait, just wait. Hold. I’m gonna mash these up right now. We’re gonna do a test. It’s hard to argue against 4,000 people saying that it’s gray, but if this is gray, I am. Yeah, that’s gray. Okay. The, so what else you got? The blinds are open. The light is on. This is blue and blue. Oh no. And look, it’s blue. She’s got, there was a not, there was a blue notebook on the thing. Okay. Gray curtains. Yeah, that’s light gray blue. That’s blue jacket. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Blue jacket. There’s hope for her. At this point. She’s identified two things correctly. Oh god. Three colors. This is a very similar shade of blue. Those are pretty similar. That’s blue or like, sorry, girl. And this is gray. Yeah, you’re right about that. That’s gray. This is blue, correct. And does she have colored pencils? Hold on. She thinks the colored pencils are the same color. But this definitely has like multiple tones in it, but that’s blue. And this card is blue. Yeah, but she thinks they’re the same as the, I’m just seeing all different shades of blue, or like, it looks just as different from the gray sweatshirt as it like, isn’t she precious? Should she be protected at all costs? Is that what’s about to happen? Yes. No, I don’t think so. She’s not, basically, she’s not precious to be trusted in like a kindergarten classroom. She basically, I mean, because she doesn’t know the difference between blue and gray, that’s it. No, but she, because she was trying to say that yes, there are different shade. The things she was pointing out were blue we’re blue, but she thought they were the same as the couch. Yeah. Was what she was getting at. And she takes a colorblind test and finds out that she’s colorblind. Oh, yes. Oh, okay. Well, that makes a lot of sense. But, and she, it was just like, she literally throughout all day Sunday, like this developed Wow. Of her just crashing out and realizing that she’s colorblind in front of 20 million people. So she, so, and I’m, I’m assuming that she’s the type of colorblind where she is just seeing things that are blue as gray, essentially, and thinks that that’s blue, meaning that like gray, apparently gray is the. What I would say, like the absence of color, right? It’s just black and white. It’s, it’s black and white, mixed at a certain shade. Okay. So she sees, she doesn’t pick up on blue things and they just look gray at her. So gray became blue to her, became blue, and she never knew that she had a, she had a visual impairment of sorts? Mm-hmm. I bet she was a little bit crushed. I remember when I was told I had to get glasses, you were upset. It just feels weird, you know? It’s like, but this is, talk about feeling gaslit. She was gaslit by her own eyes. That’s gonna feel weirder than getting glasses. That’s because, hold on. My entire life, my eyes have been lying to me and now it’s the ridicule of TikTok that has brought clarity. I feel crushed. I mean, yeah, I’d crash out a little bit, I guess. Oh, I would too. A hundred percent. That’s why everyone was like, I’m gonna hold your hand. It’s like, it’s gonna be okay. Yeah. You’ve been living with this. Nothing is gonna change except now you just have a label for this thing that you experience. Yeah, and and a follow up. She’s like, I got my mom a blue couch for her room. Like when she, for her living room and when she was telling her this story, her mom’s like, oh, okay. Well I have to tell you, honey, the couch you got me is not blue and it is gray. And she’s like, you never told me. She’s like, you were so excited about it. Maybe it’s just furniture or stuff. You can drape over furniture. She probably thinks at some point she probably did think that she thinks a donkey is blue. Well, she might could be. I think that would come up, babe. The blue Ox. That’s where that came from. A colorblind writer potentially. Speaking of writer, I didn’t we get a response from our, um, yes. From our romance novel author. Can you? Oh, really? Can you read that for us? Yes. Okay, so Peyton Corin did respond to our TikTok. She’s a Peyton Corin here. I’m still in shock that this happened. GMM has been a comfort to me for over 10 years now. Helped me through my loneliness and the grief of losing my dad. It was something personal to me that I wanted to include in Freddy’s character, and I’m so happy to say I’ve connected with so many more GMM fans on my tour and events. To see you guys who I’ve watched daily for 10 plus years holding my little book is so surreal and amazing. Thank you for everything you’ve done. Truly honored. PS very much down for an exclusive GMM cover with you guys as the models. Yes. Yes. We gotta make that happen. So we, I’ll be the guy and you’ll be the tutor. I think she’s gonna have to write something. She’s gonna have to write something where there’s two suitors. Yeah, you gotta write a new one. Well, I’m so glad we got that backstory. Thank you for commenting that. And thank you for, um, you know, for. Incorporating us into your novel because we had an impact on your life. Sorry to hear about, you know, your dad and, um, but glad we were there for you. Yeah. And then you returned the favor. Yeah. Ke just keep, maybe just keep writing this to stuff the, if you’re right, then we can be on the cover two suitors. Yeah. I mean, you don’t have to completely, I mean, maybe, maybe there’s, this is like a two cover situation and the love interest. You can, like whoever you want to picture. No, that’s not how romance novels work. There has to be like descriptions of his hair and his mm-hmm. Whether or not he’s got glasses and a beard or whatever. So you’re, you’re, you’re, you’re saying that you write a romance novel where the character is either me or there’s a duplicate, but only difference is I’m saying there’s different character. I’m, you can’t do that. That’s, that’s a good idea. You can’t do that though, because two books, my wife reads the romance novels. Enough for me to understand that there is basically like a lumberjack type. It shows up in a lot of stories. And so that would be like physically what would be like me, like you could beard, long hair kind of thing. It is like a, that’s usually a specific type of guy. Right? But then they would, that’s a totally different story. Rewrite the story, like where that guy from, from a different guy. Yeah. But his whole interaction would be different. I think it’s gotta be, I think there’s gotta be two guys in this story. You know? I think this is a good ex exploration of a romance novel of like, it’s, it starts with like a choose your own adventure. Like after chapter one, it either, she either goes with guy A or guy Lumberjack, and then you read the rest of the novel and you know which one you’re getting because of which one of us is on the cover. Now you’ve made yourself out to be a lumberjack. Now what? What am I gonna be? Well, I’m just saying that can I be, Jesse has described, can I be a spy? The type. Of what am I gonna be? I would physically track onto, I’m definitely not a, I’m not that. Who’s the guy that, who’s the chopper on TikTok? I’m not that guy. Uh, thorn Bradley? Yeah. I’m no Thorn Bradley. Oh, okay. Thank you, Jenna. You’re welcome. I’m so quickly answering that question. Yeah. I’m not that sexy. I mean, I got a bad back. I can’t pick up a log. Well, that’s what you are in fictional world. The fictional me is Thorn Bradley. Yeah, because I, but what am I, who am I the dj? What, what, what is, what is link’s type in a romance novel. Spy Elf. The dj. The DJ could work. Yeah. DJ K like world traveler, DJ Uhhuh always whisked off to the next spot. Nutty Professor. You want to come with nutty professor? Well, you’re a d you have a nutty professor vibe though. You’re like the dj, but you don’t have the t like you go against the odds. You’re not like the typical DJ trope of like being like, uh. An F boy kind of situation, okay? Mm-hmm. You surprise the main character by being like, oh, he’s a dj, but he’s got Yeah, the main character assumes mm-hmm. That he will be the stereotypical type. Yes. And then gets to know you it. Yeah. Yep. Mm-hmm. There’s something there. There’s something there. But what do I look like on the cover? Just a dj. Just a guy DJing? Yeah. You got headphones? No, I don’t think, I don’t hitting the volume knob at the wrong time. Was that me? It’s not leading man enough. Come on guys. Whatcha are you talking about? I just feel women love DJs. Not in my experience. It just depends, you know? It just depends. Could I have knives? I, I’d like knives. You’re a knife guy. What? What if I was, um, I think Corinne’s gonna have to figure this out. What if I was the unexpected babysitter of the child from your first marriage? Okay. A who’s the boss type situation. You’re You’re a Manny. I’m a Manny. Okay. All right. Go with that. Go with that. I mean, super hot Carries knives. Mm-hmm. Uh, I mean, he’s still dj, but that’s what you Oh, what, why, where you, where do you have to go, Manny? Oh, I’ve got a, I’ve got a show in Ibiza That’s like the reveal. Come with me to a visa. Yeah. Right. You and your But who’s going to babysit the child now? A lumberjack from the other book. Yeah. One you didn’t choose. It’s the ex-husband. Yeah. I, I do childcare. We’ll bring the baby, we’ll bring the little lumberjack. So in, in yours, in my book, she has a child by you. Because that’s a prequel and I’m taking care of your baby. But then when you read my book, we also have a baby at the end that then you take care of in the other book. Because So each book is a prequel for the other book, because I’m also a Manny because of the like temp temper shortage. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Right. But my, my education system, like the utilization of blown glass, I’m a glass blower. No, a lot of people are moving to blown glass instead of trees. So, um, this is the plot. So now you’re a man blowing glass for what? Construction? Uh, paper. Yeah. I think we gotta work on that. I don’t know. We gotta work on that. I don’t know. I think it’s the 3D printing of the houses that’s happening. You know what? You know what? I’ll just be a glass blower, sexy glass blower. I work with heat. I’m accustomed to it. Okay. I could be a construction worker. I’ve got a gentle touch and I’ve got a delicate below. There’s a, you’ve seen the, the guy’s 3D printing that houses like a, it, it looks like a concrete taking a [bleep]. Yeah, a concrete, it’s in a tube and the tube moves and Yeah. I could be that guy that runs that. Yeah, you’re just, yeah, you’re a, you’re a concrete, but then I’m, but then I turn out, I’m bad and I 3D print like a, an enclosure around her, no door with no doors, and then you have to come in and blow a hole. Blow a glass hole. Blow a glass hole into the concrete that hasn’t dried yet. Right. But we can’t make this about saving the woman that’s too old school. That’s not, that’s not what happens anymore. There’s no saving the princess anymore. We’re saving the material cost of continuing with the project, right? Yes. Can use any of that you want. We’re gonna cut our loss. I’m so glad that you wrote back and that you saw that and that you were happy about it. Yeah. Are you happy about this? Probably not. I guess it requires another response from you. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And while we’re at it, that lumberjack guy, what’s his name again? Thorn Bradley Thorn. You know about this guy? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You’ve seen him, right? He chops stuff. He props stuff on everybody’s feet. He’s got a, he’s got a rye look on his face. And I seem to think I know what he’s doing and I seem to think he knows what he’s doing. Yeah. I mean, once, sometimes he sets down something that’s so big. I think we’re all watching for different reasons. My guess, but he says something down and I’m like. How many times, how many, how many times is it gonna take? How many times is it gonna take before he splits it and then you count and then you just watch it, and then you’re just like, yep, there he goes. Oh, there he goes. Oh. And then he splits it. It’s it’s hypnotic in that way. There’s a release to it. Yeah. A symbolic release. Mm-hmm. At least for me. So are we talking to him now? Let’s have him on the show. We should have him on the show. We should have him on the show. Yeah. What about the episodes where we’re trying to split something perfectly? Why have we not thought about this? We need to have, um, Thor, Desmond Oken Shield, whatever his name is. Yeah, yeah. Oken Shield. That’s, that works too. Th and Bradley th and Oken Shield. If he knows what he probably, he probably doesn’t even come to la. He probably knows what’s best. Thorin Get you. Head out y’all ass and come on our show. In Northern California, like Oh, really?

Let us, let us know if you want us to respond to something by leaving us a voicemail. 1 8 8 8 ear pod one. Let’s talk at you next week. Hi Relink. My name is Rachel from Minnesota. I’ve been watching you guys for over 10 years now. When I first started dating my now boyfriend of about two and a half years, you know, you’re just dealing somebody out. You are going on a couple dates trying to decide, you know, is this person for me? Are they a good person? What are the vibes? And when I found out that he watched GMM and knew who you guys were, that kind of cinched the deal for me. That was all I needed to know. Love you guys. Thanks. Bye.
