2:39

Welcome to Ear Biscuits, the

2:42

podcast where

2:45

two lifelong friends talk about life

2:47

for a long time. I'm Link.

2:49

And I'm Rhett. This week at

2:52

the round table of dim lighting,

2:54

we are going to be talking

2:56

about being fathers. Link,

2:59

you have a Father's Day experience

3:01

that seems rather substantial. Father's

3:05

Day fail. I

3:07

had a Father's Day fun that I'll

3:09

talk about, I will say. I

3:12

had a nearly epic fail. Oh, take

3:15

that as you will. You'll find out in

3:17

a moment. Now, over the summer,

3:20

we are going to be, the

3:24

episodes are gonna be maybe a little bit shorter than

3:26

what you're used to. You just wanted to, before you

3:29

make that observation and start asking other people,

3:31

have you guys noticed that the episodes during

3:33

the summer are a little bit shorter? Is

3:37

it just me? It's just a heads up, we're telling you. We're

3:39

just letting you know. It isn't you. They're just gonna be a

3:41

little bit shorter. We will be, not too

3:44

much shorter. It isn't us, it's the

3:46

summer. They'll be back to regularly scheduled

3:48

length. But if you use

3:51

episodes of Ear Biscuits to

3:53

plot your course as

3:55

you're driving, is one of the

3:57

things I talked about on tour that became a little bit

3:59

of a. at a couple of locations as we

4:01

were looking at the international map and trying

4:04

to guess how far people had come to

4:06

get to tour, I

4:08

would use an Ear Biscuit as

4:10

a unit of measurement for travel. You're

4:13

an Ear Biscuit away, meaning it

4:15

took you an hour and 10 minutes or so

4:17

to get here. Or you're an Ear

4:19

Biscuit and a half away, you know? How many Ear Biscuits

4:21

are you listening to? So to you an Ear Biscuit is

4:23

an hour, 10 minutes. I agree,

4:25

I think that's like- The average? The

4:28

average. Jamie is saying yes.

4:30

Yes, that is the average. I'd say 110

4:33

is like perfect because sometimes you guys go over,

4:35

but very rarely do you go under. Right.

4:38

Well, we don't like to go under an hour because we feel

4:40

like we want to give you an hour.

4:42

But just for the summer- But we're just giving you the heads up

4:44

that for the summer, we're gonna give you

4:46

a little less than an hour. We assume you've got more going

4:49

on. And also, just

4:51

so you know, during the summer, most

4:53

people, they drive faster. Oh,

4:57

yep. And it's statistically shown- But they drive

4:59

more. They drive more and they drive faster

5:01

during the summer because they're, I'm making this

5:03

up as I go on the line. Do

5:06

it. Just so you understand. Do it.

5:08

You go faster because it's sunny outside, you're

5:10

feeling the energy. You go slow during the

5:12

winter because of ice. No, no, no, that's

5:15

not it. Good stuff. Nope. You go faster

5:17

because you're excited about where you're

5:20

going. Summer's a time of

5:22

excitement. You're not in as much, well,

5:24

I'm going there again. And so because

5:26

you're driving faster, the episodes to accommodate

5:28

you are gonna be a little bit

5:31

not as long. This is on you from

5:34

your internet fathers. That

5:38

was only to bring us back to the world of fatherhood

5:40

because I did wanna tell you and I've been saving it.

5:43

Like my Father's

5:45

Day experience. Okay.

5:49

Which, you know, I was so glad my kids

5:55

each gave me a card that I could

5:57

tell that their mom physically gave them the

5:59

card. that Christy gives them the card, but

6:02

they wrote in it. It was their handwriting, it was

6:04

their thoughts in it. And

6:08

that was a big part of what they

6:10

gave me for Father's Day was

6:13

time and energy put into putting

6:16

thoughts to paper about that

6:19

they love me and that they appreciate me. And

6:22

I'm glad that Lily wrote her

6:24

card before

6:26

we had our excursion. Oh,

6:29

okay. Because if

6:31

she wrote it during or after, it might

6:33

be a different card. But I know that

6:35

Christy gave them the cards because Lily and

6:37

Lincoln's card was the same card. The

6:40

exact same card? And apparently she

6:42

has a stack of these cards,

6:45

like blanks at the house. You gotta have a stack

6:47

of cards. You gotta have the card stack. But that

6:49

doesn't matter to me, it's fine. But

6:52

I will say that Lando made his own card, you

6:54

know. He made a card? He made

6:56

his own card. Wow. What

6:59

does that feel like? The outside said Daddio

7:01

on it and it

7:03

was an acronym. Oh

7:05

crap, now I'm gonna have to remember what the acronym is.

7:08

D for drives erratically.

7:12

Drives aggressively or something. He

7:14

was critiquing my driving. Check.

7:17

That was the first D. The A was,

7:22

can't remember. The

7:24

A might be the aggressively. No, each

7:28

letter was a different thing. The

7:30

second D, there's three Ds, so I guess he

7:32

had some trouble. Always. I only remember the first

7:34

one. I don't remember the other ones. But I

7:36

do keep all the cards. I have a stack

7:39

of, a stash of

7:41

cards that my family has given

7:44

to me in memoriam.

7:47

Like they're all there. And

7:50

a matter of fact, the stack got so tall that it

7:52

wouldn't fit in the drawer anymore so I moved it somewhere

7:54

else and I don't quite remember where

7:56

that is but I'm sure I'll find it because

7:58

I know it was an important place that I.

8:00

I put them where I couldn't find them. You'll

8:02

find it in a time of need in the

8:04

apocalypse when you need kindling. And

8:06

you'll have- I'm not gonna burn them. I'm just telling you.

8:08

I'm gonna read them and then I'm gonna die in the

8:11

apocalypse. I'm just letting you know what this might

8:13

come to. My family loved me, may they rest

8:15

in peace. I'm joining you, family. No, they'll still

8:17

be with you, maybe. But you

8:20

will all be faced, this is

8:22

one thing that a lot of people don't anticipate will happen

8:24

in the apocalypse, the number of things that

8:26

you will be burning that you never

8:29

thought and let me

8:31

say, cards from your kids is

8:33

at the top of the list. You think that it's

8:35

something you're gonna hold onto forever. But they're so flammable.

8:37

But when you get cold and you're looking at that

8:39

and especially the new cards that have the

8:42

frilly things on them and they're multi-layered and

8:44

stuff and the ones that- The

8:46

pop-up cards, like could you take one

8:49

of those pop-up cards, you open it,

8:51

you light it. I mean,

8:54

I'm just saying, it's a fire in and

8:56

of itself waiting to happen. I'm

8:59

emotionally prepared for that. I've got a card stack as well,

9:01

but every time I add one, I'm like, that's gonna burn

9:03

well. Is that also where you

9:05

keep your matches? You

9:08

keep it all together. Is that what you

9:10

tell them? You read the card and you're like, thanks, kid.

9:13

That's gonna burn well. That's gonna burn well. This card's

9:16

not, don't give me one of those metal cards. Well,

9:18

we could use that as a weapon. I just remember

9:21

what the O in Daddy-O stood for.

9:24

Owns his farts. That's

9:27

a good thing to do. Hey,

9:31

he who dealt it, smelt

9:33

it? No, I own it. I don't know,

9:36

I guess he likes that about me. Because

9:39

I mean, he doesn't like that I fart, but

9:41

if I'm gonna fart, I'm gonna own it. I

9:43

ain't blaming it on nobody. Right, well, if you're

9:45

sharing a house with someone, first of

9:47

all, dog farts are easy to

9:49

distinguish. True. Not easy to

9:51

extinguish, but everybody

9:54

knows what they're, first of all, I

9:56

will say my dog's, something about maybe their age

9:58

or their size. They don't have

10:00

a stink fart. I've been

10:03

around dogs that really, really have some,

10:05

some stink fart. My dogs

10:07

only eat their food. They're not fed

10:09

anything else. I think that

10:11

does help. That does help. It has to. Yeah.
