I'm really glad to hear rhett talk about including us non American viewers bcs id love to chime in!! I've been listening for about 10 years now :)

[@Leena79]

Rhett looks like a fallen angel with the white wine-stained sweater. It is a known fact that when you buy a white anything, the first time you use it, stains will appear. I wore a pair of white shoes for the first time yesterday, and they are no longer white.

[@gibbnasta]

I haven't bought white shoes since I started buying my own shoes for that reason!

[@QuinnVG]

Love Rhett acknowledging that there is a huge amount of luck that comes with success like theirs. Not everyone gets to do what they love no matter how hard you work.

[@hhaste]

Sure, there can be some luck involved but that's a bad mindset to have. Working hard definitely gets results. You're not going to get anywhere doing nothing, that's just an excuse to be lazy.

I've been rocking this look for a while - at Shaky Knees 2014, I was front row for The National and at some point Matt Berninger tossed his glass of wine all over the crowd. I had on a white, v neck, 3/4 length sleeve shirt. I thought the wine splashes looked so cool, I ended up wearing that shirt for the next couple of days before finally washing it.

[@ayeronair]

You guys have added so much joy and relaxation in my life for the past.. jeez almost 13 years now. thank you🫶🏼

[@bleach-x3b]

the off white color would go great with coffee, itll dry like a dirty tan color, i think this would work great for your idea rhett!

[@adamc5057]

She’d say “where’s my saddle”. Perfect Link moment. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Rhett is a better improviser but link has better timing and replies. They’re both good at both but they really compliment each other in that way.

[@bintlooda]

@3:00 thanks for the pep talk rhett 😂 i just submitted my first ever voice mail lol

[@plasticcoyote]

I'd do my back half robotic, so my scoliosis would be fixed and I could hike up any mountain with my pnuemonic calves

[@ayeronair]

I also have scoliosis and went through the same line of thinking haha- but I think I’d still choose my right side to be robotic because my scoliosis makes my right side asymmetrical to my left.

[@coralgardens.official]

Oh my gosh that’s the perfect answer.

[@rhenaravanderhaar5414]

I was thinking I want my entire body to be robotic. My human body is broken, I feel like a robotic body would be better hahha

[@CaptainNamikaze]

42:36 Link just perfectly described how physical media in video games works these days. You still got a physical disc but almost no information is stored even though it has the capacity for it. 😆

[@danielford9294]

I think Rhett must have seen the clip of Bo Burnham on Conan saying Taylor swift telling you to follow your dreams is like a lottery winner telling you to liquidate your assets and buy powerball tickets

[@Urmodern1]

If I could be Jenna’s friend I would definetly leave an international voice mail… But thanks for aknowleding us at the edge of the disc

like the wine stain sweater, bleaching tshirts is really in fashion right now. i would love a 'stained' or bleached line of mythical apparel ! like tie dye but so much more punk rock lmao

[@ms.morgue]

i wish i could leave a voicemail but im australian, i dont think i can call from here! also; when i saw the sweater i thought rhett bought it like that! looks cool ngl

I feel like I understand the vibe of the party link is talking about I’m crazy about that idea! It was so rad hearing him talking about the minutia of DJing!

[@hunneyz723]

I totally understand where link is coming from with analyzing the dynamics of djing, and breaking it down and asking questions. 😂 I love doing that with my own personal obsessions

[@larryjester]

I remember watching your videos years ago. Beardless Rhett, Links many hair and glasses styles. You guys have come a long way. I'm glad you guys blew up. Your videos have been very entertaining for years. Keep up the good work. 51:08

[@SirNecro]

Also..... The answer is obvious! The correct answer is the back half. That way the front of you including the pennis ( I'm assuming it's like tennis with a "P") I mean my answer is the most logical. All your biggest muscles are carried around the back, also with the back of your head being robotic your brain is safer from injury...

[@ringosis]

It's 100% back half. They didn't think it through. A robot spine would make you extremely difficult to injure and capable of carrying huge amounts. You also replace your spinal column and the bit of the brain that deals with senses and memory, but still have all your human senses completely intact. You get a wipe clean asshole, and you don't even look any different from the front.

[@SirNecro]

@@ringosis Also, Buns of actual steel! 🤣😂🤣

[@tylerwatson3651]

Haven't watched the whole episode but why the back half. If half the body in general, I'd do entire parts to equal half...I don't want a back half of a leg robotic but the front organic...I hate running into truck hitches and anything else in the shin

[@SirNecro]

@@tylerwatson3651 I'm not sure that was given as an option. In fact I'm pretty sure they specifically listed what the halves had to be, so left/right, top/bottom , front back. With those options the back is the best option for the reasons already mentioned here.

[@JRNimmo]

​@@ringosisgreat memory storage!

[@mjvowell]

If you picked top half robot, you'd effectively become immortal. This is the correct answer.

[@trollsneedhugs]

"You" won't be immortal, but the robot might be.

[@ButterMeLonely]

I saw a vendor at a market that dyed clothes using rusty nails but i think that was more of a process than just throwing it at clothes lmao

[@MelanieSullivan]

Hey Rhett, considering the CC translates your spelling as "PE n i s" and the word as "pennis", your pronunciation made me engage by commenting, ergo your pronunciation is correct for your purposes. There you go.

[@RazorChimp]

I just called and lett you guys a voicemail.

[@hannieuwenhuize]

Yeah for including us disc-edge dwellers! 😊

I think a light blue set of stains would go along with the wine. Maybe something like Hpnotiq could work.. Just a suggestion.

[@hayleys4627]

Rhett looking real Heaven’s Gate

[@ttremblay13]

“Sitting on the back of a turtle…” Love the Terry Pratchett reference. 💙

[@MetallicAlmonds]

Well the world turtle concept was not just invented by a fantasy author, it's a cosmological theme found in several of indigenous religions as well as Hindu mythology and some sources from China. Knowing Rhett, it's possible he has read some of this guy's books but I am sure he was more referencing it as a comedic jab at the variations of flat earthers out there because that's a common one to bring up in those cases 😅

[@awsome8118]

the part at the beginning made me realize rhett and link should go on the perfect person pod

[@strangeweenieclown]

So Rhett's saying when we've reached the point technologically that half our bodies can be robotic, we'll still somehow have areas with bad internet connectivity. Yep that actually sounds about right.

[@StarStormFireFall]

I think link had a really really good point, I think it's very realistic good advice on the career stuff

[@abigailg.2844]

Can confirm I thought the splotched shirt was intentional

[@jSergiu]

The back part is the right move to be robotic because the biggest muscles and bones are there. You could fix and replace them. Also would be the most appropriate part to attach stuff that can also mold around to the front and boost your physical abilities. You also keep the function of some organs/apendices, feelings and gestures, expressions / appearances

[@lisao7600]

That was what I thought too. I was surprised they didn't even consider that option.

[@jSergiu]

@@lisao7600 right ?! It’s the best of both worlds. I think they talked about it but didn’t put it in the video just to make some rage bait for the comments. It’s almost a no brainer to chose the back part to be robotic 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@lisao7600]

@@jSergiu oh really? Maybe. I was surprised Jenna or the other producer person (or whatever they are, background people) didn't bring it up to them to at least acknowledge or consider that option. The caller mentioned it as an option. Why didn't Jenna bring it up for debate I wonder? It's the obvious correct answer. Lol

[@VinneZaina]

I work in a very Leg fiscal job and I love walking. I would choose for my legs to be robotic cause I use that the most. We walk the most. It's the most used body part our whole life. It'll save me alot when I get older getting around

[@cylonred8902]

It would have been perfect if the music playing during the wine incident - was April Wine's - "Just Between You and Me"

[@jasperjedi443]

"where's my saddle" another one for the compilation videos by Link Neal

[@WilliamJuarez-kx1qg]

Worth pointing out the voicemail on the career switch likely meant to do a 180°, not a 360° because otherwise you'd end up back at the beginning.

[@VAA3069]

I recall that somewhere Link said that he has not actually gone to see professional DJs live in clubs. This is something he needs to do in order to learn about this craft.

[@sarahalbright8868]

I like the look but something about the one in the middle makes me first think “he spilled something on himself” then when I noticed the rest I realized it was intentional. Add a bit more in the middle somehow and it’s 🔥

[@jackie3370]

37 degrees is cold? That's a beautiful day in Minnesota

[@imNayara]

Added the voicemail number to contacts but apparently it is not on WhatsApp so free calls are not possible indeed. Hoping this changes soon!

[@BingoClamshell]

Back half standing up. No more back or spinal problems.

[@hyporealism]

tuning into rhett and link for the first time in several years like: are they on the wock? are they wocky right now?

[@hyporealism]

are they shroomed? are they shroomish at this moment?

[@wingedambition]

Link is so right about how it would be with the internet and having a half robot body

[@awesomeadamfrom2099]

Awesome job rued and link with the podcast drop like .

[@moegardner1]

Great technique on the dye job, but I would avoid crime scenes .

[@ErinChamberlain]

This is for Christian/Dennis/Russell lol. What made you fall in love with your job at first? Really think about that. Then think about the times that you started to feel that slipping away, what circumstances? I am saying this because I have fallen out of love with my job several times but I also believe if you loved something once, that love can still be there...all you need is another spark. And sometimes it can't. When it can't, it's my philosophy that we spend so many hours at our job, especially given the 'American Work Ethic' nonsense, that if we're miserable at our job, we're likely pretty miserable in general, or at least way too many hours. It's time to figure out what WOULD make you happy, then take steps to do that thing. Much love from one MB to another

[@garbanzomeme]

40:00 when you find out Rhett listens to JJGO

[@emmatakahashi6059]

It looks like Rhett’s sweat shirt is from their never wet episode

[@JRNimmo]

Back side being robotic is the correct answer.

[@arcadiselite5724]

Guys, you're missing the obvious answer on the half robot question. The back half.

[@mitchelljams]

Rhett could not wait to get into that bottle of wine

[@NaikoArt]

Rhett looking like just had an spiritual epiphany under ayahuasca, that shirt is mezmerizing

[@moegardner1]

These "listening parties" that they are discussing here is the way most of us enjoyed music in the 70s and before, some kid would say hey come over and listen to my new album, it's from CCR or , if you were really lucky and had a friend with cool parents, maybe Alice Cooper or Jethro Tull. It was an amazing way to share that part of your life and create bonding friendships in grade school and on.

[@pbnjams]

“too close to blood as it is” it is not, but I see why it would seem like that.

[@pdan4]

Rhett is obviously trying to recreate the outfit he wore when he played Dementus.

[@LadyKatie13]

Link, if you’re thinking of being half horse robot I’m quite sure it’s a centaur, not a minotaur. Sorry that’s a half man half bull 😜

[@localguide6518]

Robotic back has to be the correct answer. You get an entire exoskeleton giving you super human movement, reduced impact from falls and increased strength in general. The back half of your brain is also robotic, Idk what that part of the brain does but a robot could probably do it better. Plus you still look normal from the front and keep da wiener lol

[@JosephGoodlett6749]

There's that guy on KZbin that asks people for their stuff so he can paint it and give it back. Rhett should let that guy do his shirt for him l o l !

[@BrickTamlandOfficial]

both of them completely ignored the obvious answer. the back half should be robotic so you dont poop and instead the poop turns into fuel for the robot half. also having a robo back would be great for lifting. a robot butt never sags. also the back of the brain is for fine motor skills so if it was robot you could have super human accuracy like hawkeye. as well as other awesome abilities.
