| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Airbus. It's the podcast where two lifelong friends talk about life for a long time. I'm Link and I'm Rhett. |
| 0:10.5 | This week at the round table of dim lighting, you could kind of call this a part two to what we did last week where we talked about all the ideas that we've had that have never seen the light of day. |
| 0:23.5 | They failed. They fizzled out. We were rejected. |
| 0:27.3 | Bop, bop, bop, bop, bop. Now let me also say that some of the stuff that we went through last week, I thought about this after the fact some of those ideas we kind of rejected. |
| 0:38.3 | Like they didn't even make it to the first level of or maybe they were considered by like an agent or someone who looked at a list of ideas and said, okay, this is the one that I think might be viable. |
| 0:49.3 | I didn't want to give the impression that every single idea that we went through last week is we had sat down in a room with a group of people and pitched it to them and it was rejected. |
| 0:59.3 | Some of them were they were all rejected on some level, but some just never like little baby birds that never even got pushed out of the nest. They just came out of the egg and then died. |
| 1:09.3 | I don't like picturing a dead baby bird because I'm not even getting out of the egg. They're in the egg and they die inside the egg. |
| 1:17.3 | And then you just have a dead bird inside of the egg. That's fun. I'm cool. I'm cool with that. But like one of them is like, that's even grosser to me. No, because it's an egg. |
| 1:25.3 | Eggs, I crack eggs and I always have a fear every time I crack an egg. I think to myself, is there going to be a bird in this one? |
| 1:31.3 | That's why you need to shine the light on it first. I don't do that. |
| 1:34.3 | But the baby birds that are like out and like they don't have any feathers and they're like cute. They're a little dinosaurs. |
| 1:43.3 | Their eyeballs are like huge and like bruised. They look like they there's bruised all over. You look like you should be talking with a German accent. |
| 1:51.3 | I'm going for a different look today. I found this sweater. The combination of your glasses and your sweater. |
| 1:59.3 | I bought this sweater. You look like a cashmere by the way. It is peach. What was the old SNL skit sprockets? |
| 2:07.3 | They wore black. I know. You look like you don't wear peach. The 2021 version of sprockets. Sprockets came back. It would be peach. |
| 2:17.3 | I looked different, but I looked at myself in the mirror and I was like, I think I look good. I didn't say you look bad. |
| 2:23.3 | I said you look German. I was fully ready to come in. Yeah, I've got different glasses on the day. My signature link glasses. |
| 2:31.3 | I heard about this. Broke. Yeah. Sorry about that by the way. |
| 2:35.3 | I punched him. I've been wearing them for a couple of months broken. It's just right here. I just noticed one day the lens just fell out in my hand. |
| 2:45.3 | It's because part of the frame it just broke clear in two. Now I can superglue it but consulting with Jenna, we're going to take it to a professional. |
| 2:53.3 | They're going to glue it. Right. Because the you're going to pay them for it. I cannot buy another replica of these go to glasses of mine that I've had for years. |
