Welcome to Ear Biscuits. The podcast where two lifelong friends talk about life for a long

0:08.8

time. I'm Rhett. And I'm Link. This week at the round table of dem lighting, we're tackling

0:16.1

the question, what would be our ideal, wild animal companion? Yeah. And you may think to

0:24.0

yourself, why would you be worried about that? It's not that we're worried. We're obsessed.

0:30.8

Well, all of a sudden, we both experienced something via a screen that is now peaked
