This, this, this, this is Mythical. Welcome to Ear Biscuits, I'm Link. And I'm Rhett. This week at the round table of dim lighting, it's an AMA podcast. You sent us questions about anything and everything. And we've selected some of our faves, that's F-A-V-S,

short for favorites, for those of you who don't know that, which there is one person out there, just so you know. There's always one person who. And you know what, you cleared it up for him. Right, oh it's definitely a guy. You cleared it up for him. It's definitely a guy. The first question,

because we're gonna get right into this, comes from me. Because right before we started recording, my question was, my statement to the people who are in the room as I scanned the room, not including you, was, you guys, you're too young to see. You're gonna go there again? Yeah, I.

I thought you just did that, but that was a pre-podcast thing, and now you're gonna bring it up, okay whatever. I think it's worth bringing up because I need some camaraderie here, because you didn't back me up. I'm not a communist. I have hit, there was a time in my life

where I had a television that in order to make it work, you had to hit the side of it. And it worked. Because we were trying to get this headphone thing working and I told Maggie just to hit it. Or blow in it like a cartridge. And it does work. And it is working now.

It is working now. She did not hit it like a television. But there may come a time during this podcast in which it doesn't work. At that point, I'm going naked. That's shorthand for saying I'm taking my headphones off, only and I feel like I could do the whole podcast

without them. I'm so glad that's all that meant. I feel like it's a crutch. I feel like the headphones are a crutch for a bad hair day. It explains why the backside of your hairdo is so flattened. Yeah. Second question is from Kendall Sanders or Sanders. If I recall correctly, Kendall had lots of good questions. I think we've narrowed it down to this one.

If we were to switch bodies a la Freaky Friday, what is a quirk you think you may need to tell me about your body that I should be aware of? And she wrote it as if I was asking you. So this is me asking you, if I switch to your body, what would you need to tell me about it and vice versa? And then she goes on, for example, some of mine would be my knees always crack.

It's nothing to be concerned about. I have a small cowlick in the right side of my head. You'll never tame. If your ankles start to hurt, just pop the toes and you'll instantly feel better. That's if you go into Kendall's body, become Kendall. I love this question because- Pops her toes and her ankles feel better.

Yeah, only Kendall knows that. And could you imagine if you switched with Kendall and you had crazy ankles for three weeks but you didn't know you just had to pop the toes? And you couldn't talk to Kendall because that would could you imagine if you switched with Kendall and you had crazy ankles for three weeks but you didn't know, you just had to pop the toes? And you couldn't talk to Kendall because that would be you. Yeah, so first of all, before we switch bodies, before you switch bodies with me, we would need like a week long class.

I mean, I am a very unusual. Well give me the truncated version here because what if it happens as a result of something we discussed or if we hit the invisible trigger? I don't know, I didn't watch Freaky Friday. Yeah, I missed that one. Well first of all, just being a large person,

someone who's six foot seven, who's about an inch shorter than your typical doorframe with hair grazing the doorframe, there's a whole doorframe conversation which is just when in doubt, duck, which is you're always in doubt so you should always duck a little bit while indoors. So just walk around hunched. Always be hunched.

In high school, you did have a little bit of a hunch. Yeah, it was with the doorframes. I have since corrected my posture for the most part, mostly due to like yoga and Pilates, et cetera. But there's the body size thing, but there's also like, if you're trying to bike up a hill, your right knee's gonna start hurting.

If you're trying to just walk down a hill, your right knee's gonna start hurting. I wasn't tracking what you're saying for a second. just walk down a hill, your right knee's gonna start hurting and you really. I wasn't tracking what you were saying for a second. I didn't know you had moved on to other things. I thought you were still talking about your height going through a door frame. So I thought you were presenting an analogy.

You know, if you bike up a hill, your right knee's gonna start hurting in the same way you have to duck going through a door frame. This is new stuff. You've moved on, okay, so I should listen if I'm gonna become you. I can get. Your right knee.

Yeah, I can get little fellers out with my tongue. I knew that. That's a good reason to become you because A, I don't have tonsils anymore to have the tonsil stones in them and it's so annoying being on the receiving end of like you're making that face and I can tell you're digging your tongue into the back of your throat

to pull out a pustule. I don't even get them anymore. When's the last time you saw me make that face? It's been years. That's true. The reason is because I got so adept at just getting stuff out the moment that it's in the tonsils that it's almost just like a knee,

it's a completely, it's subconscious at this point. It's part of your eating regimen? You just lick your tonsils? And then I clean my tonsils out. You lick your tonsils. Yeah, I don't even think about it anymore. See, and you know, you, ear biscuiter, are feeling the same way I feel, which is, this is gross.

Why are you talking about this? Well it's important information if you're gonna take over my body. But I do, I am curious when I do become you and I experience it from the inside out, if I will get it. Oh I understand why no matter how much I tell them it annoys me or how gross it is to anyone,

including everybody listening, that it's now worth it. I know that it's worth it. Is that what you're telling me? Well I'm just also saying, when you turn your head to the left, you're gonna, and do that, you're gonna feel four pops, completely normal, happens every time. You're gonna have a recurring pain in the upper back,

a recurring pain in the middle back, and a recurring pain in the lower back. But if you get up and do a series of stretches, which I can give you diagrams, every single morning, preferably with your dog on your face the whole time, you will gain mastery over these things. Also, every once in a while, just while breathing, you're going to feel a sharp pain

right in the middle of the chest. You're going to think that you're having a heart attack. It is not a heart attack. It is also not a pinched lung, as Link would call it. Yeah, a pinched lung, it's been pinched. Because the lungs don't have nerves, it's just a spasm of sorts in your rather impressive pectoral muscles, I will say that.

Let's see, what else? Can you follow him on Instagram? I mean that's probably, that's just day one. I could go on, I won't. Because this is an unlikely scenario. But I'm just saying, I got a lot. I got a lot I can tell you. What about you? When you enter my body and become me,

that's kind of a weird way to put it. I would say just enjoy it, man. It's pretty, the water's fine. You don't have any like precautions, like don't touch sharp objects? I mean like, I would at least say that. Just live with and sleep with reckless abandon. You know, the world is your oyster, man.

Just crack it. Crack it, drop some Tabasco on it, and slurp it down. Just enjoy it because it won't last forever, but it will change you forever. I believe it. Yeah, you'll be you. Well, you'll change. That's a pretty big change.

When you change back to you, you will still have lasting effects of swimming in the ocean of Link. Oh gosh, let's move on to the next question. I could go on. Please don't. We'll both write manuals. Mine will be an existential guided tour.

Yours is not helpful. Yours is not helpful. Tafe Andrews asks, do you have a paramedic on set? Oh that's a good question. So as we're filming Good Mythical Morning, do we have a paramedic, actually yes. That is a recent addition. Yeah it is. And on any given day, we have a rotation of paramedics.

It's not the same one every day. I don't think they can handle the suspense of me almost chopping your fingers off. But this is a slow build. I will say that. Blowing your face off is something by accident. If you go back to basics, you go back to the first few years of GMM,

there was nothing. If we hadn't had an accident. I was your paramedic, you were my paramedic. Someone was going to die. And then that turned into sometime like 18 months ago. Well there was a middle point where we would, if we, like one of the first people we hired, we were looking for an editor. And so we were looking for an editor

slash CPR registered babysitter. I think it's, we didn't say that, but that's kind of what. I don't recall that. When we were looking at resumes, it's like we knew we needed a lot. But I do seriously remember about 18 months ago, Stevie was like, well, several people on the crew are now CPR certified.

It's like, that's a good idea. And then in November, We'll give them something to practice on. When GMM became a YouTube original and we were able to get some more resources, one of the resources that we got was a budget that allowed us to have a full-time paramedic. And the funny thing is, is regardless of who it is,

I look over there and I see her face from time to time. She's like a hawk. It's never a relaxed face. Yeah. It's always like, it can hit the fan real quick here. You know what, maybe I'll own some of this.

I don't get the impression from the paramedics that I put them at ease. No, you don't. I just get that vague impression. They're looking at me a lot. They are looking at you most of the time. This is true. I mean, there was a recent thing that we filmed

that I'm not gonna describe because it's not out yet. It's like a special thing. It may never come out, by the way, depending on how the thing before it goes when it comes out. Oh, that thing. So because we filmed your thing, then we filmed my thing right afterward,

even though we wanted to introduce space in between them for you to have some time to digest one before the next. And when I was, I thought it was a near death experience. Like the point was I wasn't supposed to say anything. There was like a conceit to this video. I'm sorry I can't give you details but. I thought you were acting. I was not acting but I was staying in character.

Huh, you did a good job. Think about that. No I wanted to stay within the rules of the peace, but I was very afraid that I was dying. I think we should just release it no matter what the reaction to my thing is. Okay, especially now that I've talked about it, without talking about it.

But when I was done, I walked out and I was okay by that point. I was still in pain, but I was okay by that point, I was still in pain but I was okay. And I knew I wasn't gonna die. And I went by, I can't remember which paramedic it was. Kinda all blurs together. Anyway, I was like, what would you have done? And she was like, well I was thinking about that

but I didn't reach any conclusion. So she was there and she was thinking it through like oh I'm the one but I don't know how to deal with this specific thing. I mean we can't really keep talking about it unless you wanna say what it was because. Well there's certain things that you're choking on that there's nothing you can do.

Yeah Heimlich doesn't work for certain things that you're choking on. We'll leave it at do. Yeah, Heimlich doesn't work for certain things that you're choking on. We'll leave it at that.

And now on with the biscuit. It's your turn to ask a question. Well then let me ask it. This one's from Katherine Zybarth.

Yes. I've always wanted to know what your wives think about your jobs! There was an exclamation point, I didn't anticipate it. Especially when you dress up like women. Well that's weird. Cry laugh emoji. Well I. Should I include emojis when I ask the question?

Yeah. The part about dressing up like women does not blip their radar. No, because we do that at home most times. I'm just not digging into that one because it's just a non-issue. Yeah, kids nor wives are ever surprised by what we may wear, come home smelling like.

It's just all a big blur at this point. Now, you know, Christy nor my kids watch every episode of Good Mythical Morning, they, you know, I come home and it's like they live with me. That's the show right there. That is the show. No, it's like, I don't know, I don't think I'd wanna watch somebody that I lived with watch their show

every single day, but then they do like it and they do like to catch up on parts of it. So Christy doesn't watch that much or listen to Ear Biscuits that much, but oh, today. I got a text from Christy, I'm pulling it up, just a few hours ago. She texted me, you don't believe in a soulmate? Which was our last Ear Biscuit conversation.

Did I say? You know what happened? Somebody out there. She never listens to Ear Biscuits. They don't listen to our podcast. What happened is somebody who knows them listened to our podcast and was like, knows our wives. And then.

You think Jessie might have gotten a. I bet you when I get home tonight, I'm gonna get it. She ain't gonna text me. I don't know, did you say something? She's just gonna wait till I get home. Did you, she's gonna ambush you. I said the same thing, but she knows this is how I feel already. She knows that, in fact, I think the fact that she knows

that that's how I feel makes our love even more special. Right, honey? Well, let's pause on that for a second. This is what I responded to Christy. Ha ha. I was telling you about this. Oh gosh. Oh really, that's your response?

I think I was. Ha ha. I think I did. I'm pretty sure that I had mentioned to her that this had come up on an Ear Biscuit. Oh but it hasn't come up in a personal conversation before you, before? Not in recent years. No, it's not like dinner talk for us.

Hey, let's bring up that are we soulmates conversation again. It's not are you soulmates, is there such a thing as soulmates? I know, such, and then she responded, I don't remember. And of course, I can't tell if there's sarcasm in that, I don't know, I haven't talked to her. And I was like, yeah, and I love you and I actually do think you are my soulmate, smiley face.

It's our special secret. Oh gosh. What, what, and you left it at that? And then she says, nope. That secret needs to be made public. Oh, well it has been now. And I responded, winky face emoji? Oh gosh, it's almost like you're

in a different conversation. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well first of all, that's not a winky face emoji, that's a semicolon and a parenthesis. Do you not understand how it's done? Old school. There's a whole keyboard for it. I also hit televisions to get them to function. Whoa.

Winky, you think the winky. I actually think that it will automatically translate into an emoji if you do it right. I didn't. But maybe that is a successful distraction technique. The biggest revelation in this whole exchange is that you're still doing in the semicolon and the parentheses, honestly.

On the phone, in an email it's one thing. I'm certain I've talked to her about it. But she does not listen to this podcast and we have a rat. Who is the rat? It could be my sister-in-law, it could be your brother-in-law. Yeah. There's a number of people.

Well, that's the only two I can think of. Your sister-in-law listens to this? Yeah, I recently found out. My brother's wife. Oh yes. She likes to listen to it while she does things. Oh gosh, she's listening right now. We're making it worse.

You know what? You've done a plenty, as we would say. You've done a plenty. You who know who you are. I like rats. Many people have rats. But in general, our wives really love our show except when we say things like

there are no such thing as soulmates. I'm certain that I've talked to Christy about her not being my soulmate any more than any, I almost texted back, I was like, yeah. Hold on, but you're still putting it wrong. You don't say you're not my soulmate, you can be like, I don't believe in the concept of soulmates. No one has a soul, yeah.

And you know what, I could be wrong. You can become a soulmate. I've changed my mind. You can become a soulmate. This is much easier this way. I was wrong. I could be wrong. You can become a soulmate. I've changed my mind. You can become a soulmate. This is much easier this way. I was wrong. I am really sorry. Christy is my soulmate. I'm her soulmate.

I don't know about anybody else. Yep, and Jessie's my soulmate too. Right, solved. Katie Ann Blingvarsky. Yes. How do your kids handle you guys being famous? I'm not sure if you'd like that to be the word I use, but you understand, oh no, you can say it.

Since they go to school and everyone is on the internet, do they love it, hate it, do all their friends watch you guys? This is a great question, Katie-Anne. Because I think that our kids do have opinions about this. Yeah, they do. I mean, Lily's 14, Locke is 13, Lincoln is 12, Shep, how old is Shepard?

Nine. Nine, and then Lando is seven. And they're all about to increment up a year. Many of them, everyone except Shep will turn a new year in the next 12, in the next four, 20, 30 days. How many numbers can you say wrong? I don't know. 12, four, 20, right?

None of those were prime numbers though. I'm proud of that. That's so weird. Well I know you're eldest. Locke has been more concerned about it than Lily, which surprised me a little bit, Lily going to a new school and all. I mean, my interpretation is that Locke

wants to be his own person, wants to establish his own deal, doesn't want to be first and foremost known as my son. You never get a first chance to make a second impression. Yep, and there are situations like, there have been some things, like there was an event at his school that was like some sort of pancake breakfast or something.

And this is, he had been going to school for like a week or two and you know, he was new to school because they had been homeschooled and he was like, ah, Dad, I don't want you to come to that. Because if I go to something with kids in that age group, the pictures start and it just becomes about me being there. So you immediately knew why. Yeah and I'm like, cool, I don't wanna go anyway.

No but, so I get out a lot of things. Because no but I totally get it and then we had like, there was like an event, like an Oktoberfest event that some of his friends were going to but we were also gonna go to it and he was like, I don't wanna walk around with you. You know and I get it, I totally get it. And I actually went to that thing,

or something very similar to it with Lincoln. He's a grade lower at the same school. And yeah, there was those moments, there was like some picture opportunity moments, and there was just a risk there of like, is it, was this, you know, how's that gonna, Lincoln wasn't too fazed by it but. I don't like it when it happens at one of his things.

Yeah. You know, like a sporting event or something like that. Right. Like the team that you just played wants to, kids from that team wanna come get a picture of me, I'm just like, ah. Yeah. But I don't wanna be a jerk to those kids

and be like, no. Yeah, that's happened to me too. Lincoln's opponents are taking pictures with me. It's like there's a loyalty thing happening here. Right, I don't take pictures with the enemy. But I mean, I went to Lando's grade school for some event and he was like so excited to have me there and then there were a few like, with those younger kids,

even a few picture moments happening and he just went away. He went somewhere else. He did not wanna stay right there. I mean, Lando's pretty shy, you know, so he definitely would never see that as an opportunity. Hey, hey, hey, you know, like I probably would have when I was his age.

And Shepard does. Oh and Shepard does. Because when we were talking about this, right when they were starting school, I figured that the word would get around. And so we were just talking about, have kids come up and ask you, is your dad on the internet or whatever?

And Lot was like, yeah, and I kinda, and he kinda took the approach, he was like, sometimes I just say no, or I don't know what you're talking about, because I don't wanna have a conversation about it. But Shepherd. But Shepherd was like, I told my class on day one! My dad's on YouTube!

You know, he's in third grade though. I picture him standing up and just telling everybody in class. Now, I mean, when we were first talking about that with Lincoln, I was like, Lincoln, does this concern you? And he was like yeah, we both have discussed helping our kids be a good judge of character that their friends wanna be their friends

and not just proxy our friends through our kids or just think it's cool to be associated. You want them to be friends because of them. And then Lincoln comes home a few days later and he's like, can I get your autograph? I wanna give it to a friend of mine. I'm like, weren't you listening, son? First of all, it's 2018.

Autographs are not a thing. Signature, is that what we call them now? They don't happen. No, I'm just saying. But it gets difficult because there's a fundraiser at Lando's school, he loves his school, and then a teacher asked me if I would show up to be one of the prizes

for the kids that raise the most money. Wow, and you're gonna come out of a cake? What are you talking about? A meet and greet situation. Okay. And potentially both of us, but you know, I knew how sensitive Lando was, and it's a hard thing to say no to when it's like,

you just feel like they're not gonna understand why you're saying no, but this would really impact how the school viewed Lando potentially. And there's enough things that he's trying to figure out. How the other kids. How the other kids, what did I say? The school, I mean. All the kids in the school, yeah,

would start to see him and it's like, you don't wanna be defined by somebody else. Yeah. Or something else that's not you. In general, I don't think. But it was a hard thing to say no to. It was easy that that was the right choice for us, but it was, you just, it's tough saying no

when you feel like you can't, you try to explain why but it's, you know it's frustrating for the person planning because they had a good idea in their mind and then you're like well, practically now you gotta start over. Right, yeah. And I might be a jerk, I don't know. Give me another question.

Actually, I think. Is it my turn? I got a page. You've got some questions now. Minerva LGP asks, do you play any bets between the two of you? It looks like you are very much into games and competition on GMM. Does that happen often, IRL?

That's Good Mythical Morning versus in real life. Hmm, both acronyms. Yeah, this is actually something that we've done for a long time. Going back to when we were kids, most of the time it's like, if I can hit that rock, if I can hit that pole with this rock,

you gotta give me $5. That was the beauty of childhood. The way that we worked, man, we were just like, just like coyotes on the prowl around Blue East Creek. Just had all the time in the world to do whatever we wanted and we'd just mosey. Sometimes we would just mosey and like down the street, pushing your bike or whatever.

Or riding the bike. And many, many, many times, I would say 95% of the time you would instigate some sort of pseudo-athletic prowess bet. That's what life's all about. You know it's like throwing this, you know this was pre-Dude Perfect. We were still hitting televisions to make them work.

Yep. But it was, you know, can you throw this rock over the power line but then get it through the hoop in my basketball goal as I'm entering the door to get a Kit Kat from the cabinet? It doesn't have to be that intricate. But then we would sit there, we had time to mosey. We'd sit there for 20 minutes trying to do it.

Here's the beautiful thing about this, is that you can take what otherwise is just a completely boring moment in life, and if you have an object in an environment, you can create a challenge that can get a group of people so fired up, and I absolutely love to do this. So if it's comedically frivolous enough, then I'll also get involved, but the competition aspect

of it doesn't resonate with me, but the sheer nuts factor is what I love. Because here's the beautiful thing. So it's not about winning money. Not too long ago. There's never really any money involved. I mean we always say that nobody ever gets paid, but our friend Mike, Mike was featured in the quest

for the perfect taco on our Instagram story. Yeah from, oh yeah. So Mike was out here and we were at my basketball goal at my house and we were, I was like, all right, I'm gonna see if I can throw it up on top of the house, two-story house, have it bounce off of the Spanish tile roof, so it, which is not a predictable bounce.

No, it's not at all. Come back down and go into the hoop. And we're talking about horse here? This wasn't even a horse, because no one can actually, we played a game of horse, but then we just started trying this shot. Okay.

And then we quickly learned that the chances of this going in are so slim that if it does go in, we're gonna go nuts. And so just one after another, the three of us just rotating, kept doing it. And never once did you think we should film this and send it to Texas. But when it happened. It did happen?

It did, I hit it, I made it. You did? How long did it take? 12 minutes, you know, I mean we're shooting a lot. So it felt more impossible than it was. Yeah, but when it happened, the celebration, the embraces, the jumping in the air, the yelling, you would think that someone had won something significant,

but no, we just created a little challenge. Or had like a child. Just the other day when we were shooting the Dude Perfect parody thing. The field goals. The field goals. Kicks. We got down to the end.

Yeah, we got done. And I was like, I'm gonna throw this football into that trash can. Yeah, from a distance that any middle school quarterback. It was like 20 yards. And I threw it like 20 times and eventually. No, no, hold, what? You threw once, then I threw it.

And when I threw it, I almost hit it right off the bat. Yeah but neither of us made it. It never. Well my shoulder got hurt and then the paramedic had to come over and help me with it. Exactly, exactly. Like two throws in, Link's sitting down getting massages from the paramedic.

The only useful thing the paramedic has done the whole time that we've been employed. No, she's given us a sense, a veneer of safety. Well it's very useful that she's there, I'm just saying. She's kept our insurance policy legit. Yeah, yeah. Those are two big things, and then the third thing is. The most work.

When my shoulder got tweaked in the quarterback zone. Quarterback zone. She lent a hand, it wasn't, when you say getting a massage from the. The massage lasted 20 minutes. I was like when is Link gonna get back into this? Well. I lost heart man, I didn't even get it in there

because I lost heart because you just got a massage. But Andrew, the cameraman started tossing it. Yeah, but nobody did it. Not the same as me, huh? No. You can say it. It wasn't the same. That's it. Anyway. Shoulders still hurting, huh? No. You can say it. It wasn't the same. That's it. Anyway. Shoulder's still hurting,

thanks for asking. I think it's a great way to inject some stakes into your life. I think I have a hereditary shoulder issue. I went to therapy a few years back. That's what got me back into the gym, to maintain the ground I regained from physical therapy in this joint in my shoulder. But my dad, he came, he picked me up from college one day

and he took me on Christmas shopping to buy my gifts because that was our tradition. And we were having a good old time in the Crabtree Valley Mall and I just leaned over and I just punched him on the shoulder. Just like what we call a love lick. My granddad would always pinch me or give you a twister in the T region

or just a good wallop on the arm or a frog on the leg. That's a love lick. So I gave my dad one of those. That's just a way to non-verbally say, I love you and I'm powerful. And my dad didn't tell me for like six months, but I severely damaged his shoulder. Like he said it started hurting,

he had to go to the doctor and like the ligament had separated. Oh gosh, you're such a jerk, man. I'm such a jerk. I didn't feel bad. I felt horrible and he didn't tell me for six months and now I think I'm getting it. So I'm literally telling my kids,

no love licks in the shoulders. You know how broad they are? Usually that means they're not as susceptible to things. I mean they're really far apart, not in a good way, in like a disproportionate robot kind of a way. Yeah, it's like side view mirrors that are just waiting to be clipped by another car.

And then the collarbones are so prominent. Yeah. There's something just anatomically is not correct about my shoulder region. You need to wear shoulder pads all the time. Like my mom in the 80s and the 90s. You could bring them back. And the early 2000s.

You could bring those back, man. I could just go Raider Closet for all of her trench coats. I'd be like Kevin Smith but with more shoulder pads. Let's ask another question. Yeah, ask one. Laurel N. Browning, as lifelong best friends, have you ever had the conversation, if I die first, I want to dot dot dot?

Ooh, let's get into death. If I die first, I want to dot dot dot. Have we had this conversation, she wants to know. Well, we did have the like, tactical, logistical conversation, just about like, because we had to like create our whole insurance deal, you know, like a couple years ago when we like,

went through the whole process of like, creating wills and insurance and that kind of thing. But none of that really answers the question. Well because, I mean, it turns out if you have a successful business as a duo, I mean, that where you're kind of the faces of this thing, it was pointed out to us, I mean we had to explore all this stuff that literally included like if one of us dies,

like what happens, I mean, because you have this catalog of videos that, you know, I mean face it, when one of us dies, a lot of you will watch a lot of them. Even more so than are being watched now. So that generates income and so it's like, well how do you distribute that? If I die, well I get.

I get all the money. No, because I got a family. That's what my contract says. No, so. And then it was like vice versa. And then it was like, if we both die. It's like when they say that like Taylor Swift has her legs insured, which I don't know

if that's an urban legend or it's true, but basically. It used to be Mary Hart. They just updated the urban legend. The duo is insured, right? So when the duo is no longer a duo because of the untimely death of one of the duos, one part of the duo. It's really.

Our wives, the other person's wife will be well taken care of and there'll be, there's an insurance payment which basically, so like let's say I die. Good. Then now you're figuring. No, I don't mean good. I mean if one of us is, if we're gonna say one of us,

it's good that you chose yourself. And so then you have to kind of figure out well what are you gonna do, right? What's next for the linkster? Yeah, and that's a much bigger question. I do think you should begin to refer to yourself as the linkster. At that point.

Because you just, right. What I found is that with the exception of Cher, you can't just have a one syllable name and just be known by that. Link, too short. You got Oprah, you got Madonna, you gotta go to the linkster with a the. That's my first piece of advice.

But also, I already knew that. You will get paid an insurance payment, which is the whole link transforming into the linkster transition period, where you're figuring out what you're gonna do. And what is the linkster gonna be known for? Are you gonna learn to juggle? I suggest that as well.

You can take it or leave it, all these ideas are great. There'll be quite a bit of floundering. And the floundering will be covered by an insurance payment. And by that I literally mean fishing for flatfish. The linkster. Who's eyes are. Floundering. Right. Oh so you're gonna do like a Bill Dance.

A sabbatical. What was his name? Bill Dance, yeah. Was that his name? I was watching Bill Dance. You know there's a Reddit montage. Yes! You saw that?

I saw it a couple weeks back. It's so good. Bill Dance. Is it Bill Dance, is that his name? Bill Dance, verify that please. Fisherman Bill Dance? He had a fishing show and I think he still does and he wears a Texas hat.

Tennessee. Tennessee, oh I'm sorry. Oh gosh, you just offended so many people. I know, I'm just out of. It's an orange tee, not a burnt orange longhorn. It's Tennessee. We just lost a lot of fans. They're gone.

Now I'm just talking to you, because that's all we had. Yeah, so just, I mean, it's kind of Winnebago Man-ish. But it's Bill Dance talking to the camera while he's fishing, and then all types of stuff happens. He's the greatest. No. You're the greatest.

The Winnebago Man is the greatest. Oh. No. They're all the greatest. They're the greatest. The Winnebago man is the greatest. Oh. No. They're all the greatest. They're both great. They're both great, right. Why do I always forget that? But anyway, so that's taken care of.

It's the worst runner in the history of Good Mythical Morning by far. It always has to be reestablished and re-explained as to what it is. I saw comments on that. But it's a legitimate question. So no, we're having the conversation now. I mean Link's gonna potentially be a fisherman.

But they're saying if I die, what Laura wanted to know was what our funeral plans are, which we specified a lot of those in the book. So we won't go through that, just book a mythicality. And that does lead into a tandem question, which Faith Shoecraft, will you be buried next to each other? Yeah, so if we die together, that's simple.

We know how the money split to the families and you don't have to worry about floundering. Right, but before we answer or we would be buried next to each other. So I think that it's not. Are you teasing that? It's not like. That's a big one, huh? Yeah, yeah, I like to tease when I can.

It's not like, well, you would go back to be an engineer or I would go back to be an engineer just because we have, we would obviously continue on in some sort of entertainment. Yeah. And then there's questions of like, do we need, should we replace the person or should we just be a solo act?

Like you know, these are all legitimate questions that we would answer right now. Whoever is left, no, we should, that's a cross that bridge when the person dies situation. Right and again, there's money for floundering. Yeah and you never know what kind of, you never know what it's gonna be. Is this a death you can see coming from miles away

or is this sudden? Real interesting, not sad at all. So we're pushing that off, but if we die at the same time, will we be, or not. Or not. Will we be buried? A, I'm not gonna be buried, okay, I'm gonna be cremated. B, okay, is that news to you?

Well, I just, once they asked it, I was like, man, that would be pretty cool. Be buried next to each other. Well, I guess if I get cremated, then dividing the ashes up is easy, but do you have like a grave site that you can go to when you get cremated? Well.

Or I thought you were just on a shelf somewhere. I have been thinking that I would be, I think in the book we say that we're gonna be cremated because that led to like a comedic. I've said cremated for quite some time now. But I really like the idea of biodegrading in a biodegradable box. It is the most environmentally responsible way.

And I've already done it once. But you can't be, you can't be, you have to be, yeah he was, yeah. He was buried alive in a cardboard box. In the pilot episode of Commercial Kings. You can watch, first of all, you can watch it on iTunes. Commercial Kings is available, you can watch it on iTunes or Amazon.

It's a show we did like seven years ago on IFC. Pilot episode. It's a good show, you should watch it. We went to Asheville, North Carolina and we did a commercial for a company called Bury Me Naturally and it was a woman who. Carol. Carol, Carol Motley.

Carol Motley, I remember everything about it. She sold biodegradable cardboard caskets and of course if we were gonna make an ad for it, you had to test it out. And Rhett wouldn't fit in the freaking cardboard box. So he buried me in it. And you know what? I'd do it all over, but I would be dead.

Yeah, being dead would be less nervous. But here's the thing, you know like a mausoleum, you've got like those drawers. If you take a casket and you put it above ground, I'm calling that a one person mausoleum. Take two of those, stack it on top of each other, I'm calling that a two person mausoleum. But you know what that looks like?

A GMM desk. Then on top of that, you put a microphone, you put two limestone, let's make it limestone. You'll be made out of wood and I'll be made out of limestone. But what about your wife? I'll get to that. What about your soul mate? Visages, statues.

Now here's the answer. We're not. This is a pretty, I mean, you wanna have statues? Self-aggrandizing, isn't it? Well it wouldn't be open to the public. I wouldn't charge tickets. This is in a room somewhere? This is in a.

There's somewhere in the woods. This is in a private. Reserve. Pasture. This is in the pasture where we made the blood oath. Maybe it's like a gorilla reserve. That'd be cool and you have to like get through the gorillas to get to the statues.

Well here. You know it turns out gorillas are actually very peaceful. Spoiler alert. But they're very scary and intimidate most people. Gorillas are peaceful. So the people who know the truth can just walk right up to the statues. And if you pull on the microphone,

there's audio of something that we said at some point. Plenty of that. We can make that right now. Hello, welcome to the Rhett and Link Monument. Look to your left. that's George the gorilla. Or a relative of George. Yeah. Because we don't know how long George is gonna be around.

Just name them all George, that's a footnote. Yeah, they're all named George. He looks pretty intimidating. You had the good sense to walk through the gorillas knowing that they are naturally vegetarian and very unlikely to eat you, they can still rip you to shreds. Good for you.

Thanks for showing up. Please return your map to the visitor center. Upon exit. You can also download the app, but it's too late for that. Because there's no cell service, or whatever they call it now,

in this part of the forest. Good day. Just put your $50 in this box right here. Or any amount is accepted. Over $50. To help keep up the pristine condition of this monument. Okay end recording. Side note, we're not in that.

Like our bodies, our remains are not in there. That's why I use the term monument. Right. Because I'm gonna be buried next to my wife, my soulmate. But I'm not gonna be buried. I'm gonna be, well I am, I'm gonna biodegrade. I want to be spread, I want my ashes to be spread 50% Pacific Ocean, 50% Cape Fear River.

You're being real now. I am and my wife knows this. But if I decide to go biodegradable, she's gonna have to cut me in half and I don't know if it's gonna be cut me at the waist. I think she should cut me down the middle. She's not doing any of it. She's instructing people to do this.

Cut me down the middle because the top half seems more important, well the bottom half is pretty important. If you cut me down. Mostly man, but horse, where it counts. You cut me down the middle so it's laterally one half of my body. That part is, you can't just throw a dead body

into the ocean or the river though. No. Okay, you gotta burn part of me. Cut my hands off, burn those, bury the body next to my wife, put one charred hand in the Pacific Ocean, one charred hand in the Pacific Ocean. One charred hand in the Cape Fear River. You think this is funny games, man.

I just, nothing fun about it, man. I'm just trying to cover my bases. Next question. Facetious Peasant, sorry, Facetious Peasant, very active member of the Mythical community asks a lot of questions. Link, will you ever return to Instagram or at least post one last picture? Is that it?

That's it. Man. Well there's a hashtag EarBiscuits but I thought that was unnecessary. Last year, I was like, you know what, I'm really feeling that I should be on Instagram again, but I just need some incentive to come back. And so I was like, what if we did something on the show

and that would get me back on Instagram? And then we're like, yeah, we can, people will enjoy that and then come the top of the year, we started filming these segments. No, I'm wrong, it was earlier than that because it was at the launch of the expanded GMM. It was one of the first weeks so that was in October. So the idea was in October-ish. Anyways, it was at that, like the transitional point

in the, long story short, I just wasn't, I wasn't happy with the segment. Well you weren't the only one. Right, and it's like it just didn't, nothing was how, we wouldn't do it like that now. And then, of course we did it again because it was like, well maybe we just need to, you know, we can keep, Maybe we just need to do it like that now. And then, of course we did it again because it was like, well maybe we just need to, you know, we can keep.

Maybe we just need to do it better. I think enough Mythical Beasts care about me returning to Instagram that maybe, maybe we can just do it again. Didn't change enough and still weren't happy with it. Again, not something we would do now in terms of like the approach and the tone and the. Well can we talk about that for just a second

before you talk about your Instagram? Because I know you wanna talk about specifically what you're planning on doing. Well I'm just saying I was disappointed because I actually thought that that would lead to me getting back on Instagram, but we're not doing that segment anymore because I didn't like it.

Well, and I think it's bigger than that too because I mean I didn't like it. Well, and I think it's bigger than that too because I mean, I didn't like it as well, but it seems like the Mythical Beast didn't like it. Because it's interesting, you know, I think that we're, we said this, we did our whole podcast where we defended ourselves against the decision to change the format of Good Mythical Morning.

And I, you know And I got a little, I was offended as you could tell by the way that I handled myself in that podcast. You were offended by yourself? I was offended by myself. No, no, I'm just saying that I was struggling with the fact that so many people were responding the way they were responding and making accusations that they were making about why we were doing it and stuff.

And then we had that raw, just this is what we're thinking and making accusations that they were making about why we were doing it and stuff. And then we had that raw, this is what we're thinking right now without talking about it ahead of time podcast, which based on some of the response to that podcast, I was kinda like, you know what? I kinda lost my appetite for defending myself about creative decisions, at least for a while. So this isn't, in terms of the process of how we come up with.

Why, are you prepared to say why that is? I think that, I think in general, I think it can be helpful to explain yourself for why you're doing things, but it seems to me that the people who would be affected by your defense don't really care for it, and the people who would be affected by your defense don't really care for it and the people who would be affected by your defense

don't need it, with rare exception. So, you know, if I would, because you know, we said multiple. But you don't think that, I mean, the vast majority of responses weren't positive? No, no, I mean, like we said before. So it was kind of helpful to give window into how we were assessing or how passionately we felt about things.

I mean, there's a- I could have focused more on the positive things that people were saying and less on trying to defend myself against what I thought were unfair accusations about the reasons why we were doing what we were doing. But it's just a natural human response to when you're accused of something to want to give your perspective.

But there, I mean, so I think we can put in one pile defending yourself against accusers is something that you've decided not to do. Now but a lot of that podcast for both of us I think was, or both of those conversations was not coming from a defensive place but coming from an explanatory place which is a little bit different.

It's like maybe we had Mythical Beasts whose heads, who were scratching their heads but they gave us the benefit of the doubt but there was still doubt or just gaps. So I think it's a different thing to explaining yourself and defending yourself, right? But explaining yourself can often seem like defending yourself and I think that sometimes

they are the same thing. Yeah. But all that to say that we tried a lot of things early on, that segment being one of them and a few other things like that and the way I would describe that segment was a scripted segment that took place at the desk and what we learned very quickly is that

it isn't that people don't want us to do scripted content. Right. It's that they don't want scripted content to invade the non-scripted space, which I call that the desk. You know what I'm saying? So it's like doing something that is obviously written ahead of time at the desk,

people don't have an appetite for that. And I totally get that. But yeah, if we do a sketch, or we do something where we're playing characters, or if we do something where we're, we actually have a couple things coming out very soon that it's more along the lines of a traditional, it's not really a sketch, but it's just written jokes,

but it's the environment that we're doing it in is more like a. It's not the desk. Yeah, and it's a shorter video and it's a more like traditional Rhett and Link before GMM sort of internet video. And once we kind of, we started to understand that like, oh, it isn't that people don't want us to try to be funny

in different ways, it's that they're not comfortable with us trying this in this environment. Well because. I think that segment was one of those things. Scripting things at the desk just ripped the heart out of what we built at the desk. And I think it was very good to be reminded of that. As a side note, you know, Rhett just kind of gave window

into just kind of the way that we're thinking about the three videos, the yellow border video, the middle one, in being, as he just said, more of a, if we remove the creative constraints of our show, and so now we can open up to any idea we want that we wanna tackle comedically, we can do it in any way for the internet, you know, and not be, not have to,

I was gonna say velcro it in, but wedge it in. Or you can velcro it in. I don't know. It's very rough. Wedge it into where we do our show. But back to the Instagram thing, I think it particularly pinched a nerve or pinched a nerve because for those of you who want me back on Instagram, you legitimately want me back on Instagram

so if we're gonna explore that on the show, I mean, you don't wanna toy with it so much that it seems disingenuous. So I think that was a second strike against that thing was that we made it into a comedy bit that yes was scripted but was also, it brought in a question whether I was actually gonna come back to Instagram at all.

And the plan was to come back. Is the plan still to come back? Well it's not gonna be that way. And so now it's like, I saw a while back that there was a buzz that James Hetfield, the lead singer for Metallica, after five years or six years or whatever it was, came back to Instagram. And I don't know what his picture was,

I was gonna click on it and then I didn't wanna think about it at that moment so I literally ran away from the tweet. I put my phone down and ran away. I didn't wanna, so now I'm back to the pressure that I described it as the premise for the whole bit which is, man, you just can't, can you just sneak in the back door of your big party? Or do you come in the front door with your sequins on

and say, I made it, here I am. There's no, I mean, at this point, that analogy doesn't work because there is only a front door for you to return to Instagram through. Yeah, but if I'm just like, if I put like a picture of my carpet. Yeah, but everyone would see you. It's like walking into a party covered in a carpet.

Everybody still sees you. I wouldn't be under the carpet. But I do think that it's necessary to. James Hetfield, it was just a picture of him holding up, he was drinking coffee. What does that say? What's the coffee mug say? Have a glorious day and then.

Have a glorious day but then when he picks it up it's somebody flipping the bird underneath the coffee mug. Middle finger. It's very Metallica. Ironic in a Metallica way. Very Metallica. Well, but I think it's important for you to. But it was cute and understanding.

For people to understand too that your return to Instagram would be a lot of hoopla around the first image but then you'd be like me, probably worse than me. Oh gosh, worse. In terms of how often you post. I mean, I think I thought you meant promoting myself on my podcast.

Oh yeah, yeah. I will be so much worse than you. Yeah, yeah. But I mean, we're both, let's just face it, man. We're both really bad at social media. Like naturally, our natural disposition towards social media is just really not great. I legitimately have hit the side of a television

in order to get it to work. I'm telling you. That tells you everything you need to know about why I'm not on Instagram. Let's, but I do want you to come back. But I wanna come back and I'm paralyzed. I want you to come back but, I'm paralyzed. Don't put so much pressure on yourself

because you know that when you come back there's still gonna be like a month between pictures and that's okay. I think I should just. And the first one should be you come back, there's still gonna be like a month between pictures and that's okay. I think I should just. And the first one should be you covered in a bunch of. But I have a world of pictures from the past. Can I just like act like it's my Instagram from a year ago and just like every day I'm posting a picture?

I don't think that's how it works. Of all the pictures I've been taking privately. Let's pick the best question of the remaining questions. Oh goodness. I think you probably have a better one than I have here. Nothing against this particular question but. I'll read them all out loud, then the ones we don't answer,

people can conjecture about using hashtag Ear Biscuits and see if they can be answered without us. Do you wanna do that? Let's do these two. I think we can do these two because they're fun questions that can be moved through very quickly. So we're skipping Ryan Ordonez. If you were on Amazing Race, would you take the lead?

Why are you gonna read a question? I just told you that's what I was gonna do. And I asked you, should I do that? Well of course you shouldn't do that. You didn't say anything. That's a great question. Yeah, I'd win. Okay, go to the next question.

It wasn't who would win, it was who would take the lead. I would drive. You would drive? I get carsick. Yeah, and we would wreck. Even in a cab, I would drive. Look at us answering it. Hannah asks, or should I, this isn't just Hannah,

this is half moon emoji, Hannah, full sun symbol. We have the full spectrum there. What's your favorite texture? I love this question. Do you? What's your favorite texture? Is gummy a texture? Because.

It may be a good texture in your mouth, but what about like in your hands? In my hands, everywhere. In my hands, on my body, in my mouth. Gummy things do something for me. Like a very large gummy bear, I would sleep next to one of those.

You know, it's not my soulmate or anything, but the idea of just taking a large gummy, just a hunk of gummy, and just putting it on my cheek and then taking a bite out of it and then putting it back on my cheek and then rubbing it with my fingers. I love the idea of all this. With gummy comes sticky. That is a bad texture for me.

Yeah but. Stickiness. Sticky's not a texture, sticky's a side effect of this particular thing that has the texture that I love. Sticky is a freaking texture. And you know what, you can get a gummy bear that doesn't have stickiness. Yeah you take the sugar out of it. The gelatin doesn't have any sticky in it.

Do not eat those without the sugar. It would be a horrible, it would be a horrible experience, but the texture would be great. I'd love to just have a mask that was shaped just like my mask that I could just put my face into every day. Are you talking about like Haribo gummy buoyancy, not buoyancy,

not buoyancy but bounciness? Even a little softer. Are you talking about like that? Unwet Jell-O. Unwet Jell-O? Are you talking about the fruit snacks that your mom used to buy that were not the hardened ones but the real mushy ones? Oh those, the Welch's.

Are they Welch's? They were shaped like grapes. And cherries. Oh boy, if Iches. Are they Welches? They were shaped like grapes. Like grapes and cherries. Oh boy, if I could just have a bed made out of that. I would just, man. You'd sweat and it'd all get sticky. Yeah, I'd have somebody remake it every night. And this is in a dream world where I have unlimited access to people who just generate gummy things for me.

My whole house would be gummy, the furniture would be gummy. Gummy attendance? I'd have a gummy steering wheel. I'd eat it, I'd use it. This is the world I wanna live in. That's what I'm gonna do if you die. I just answered the question.

I'm gonna create a gummy world that I live in. I thought my favorite texture was. Thegummyman.com. Probably thegummyman.net because I'm sure that's taken. Thegummyman.net. T-H-A, Thegummyman. I thought my favorite texture was, first thing I thought of was Jade's fur.

That's sweet. But when you started talking about gummy, I realized there's a superior texture. And I can't place where I've experienced it specifically but let me describe it to you and please help me remember where this has been experienced because I've been, it's like the opening scene of like the drama where they're so in love and then they're separated by war and distance

and glaciers and they're spending the whole movie trying, will they reunite? And one of them has memory loss, me. It's like a cushiony thing that it's like it's got a vinyl, like a really supple vinyl over a cushion that when you push in on it and then you take your hands away, it stays the same for a second

and then it slowly starts to come back. Memory foam? To its original shape, like memory foam, but it's got a plastic-y film over it. Jacob's saying a wrist rest on a mouse phone. That's more like, that's a little gummy. No that's more gummy. Yeah.

This is something, it's like. I love that too. I think it's a certain type of neck pillow that is cold to the touch. And then it's plasticky, but it's a very supple, suppleness to it. and it mushes in, and then when you remove your hands, it slowly, it's the type of memory foam inside of this thing.

That is not, that's better than memory foam because that's my favorite texture. So you're saying that I should just give it It's almost like a stress ball. A memory foam bed? In all my life, I already sleep on a memory foam bed. But it's got a latex covering over it. It's like a stress ball.

There's a certain type of stress ball that does this but I've experienced in a bigger way. But for a fact, it is absolutely in a stress ball. That's like got a vinyl-y, supple vinyl on the outside. Supple vinyl, that's Link's favorite texture. Last question. Ryan Morris asks, what is the oldest object that you use on a daily basis?

That's an interesting question. Oldest object. Oldest object. Every single day. There's only a few things I come in contact with every single day. I'm thinking this too. I know what it is.

Well give me yours, because I'm at a loss. I'm kind of stepping through my day, but I actually have a guess of what yours might be. Okay, guess it. Your permanent retainer. I don't use it every day. What? It's permanent.

It's stuck in your mouth forever. What do you mean you don't use it every day? I took that out, man. Oh, you did? It came loose and the dentist took it out. That's why my bottom teeth are crooked now. You didn't tell me she was gone. See that?

Yeah. I actually have another retainer that I don't wear and that's why my bottom teeth are crooked. Well, I'm a little, I just can't believe you didn't tell me that she was removed. That would be the filling, filling, of course. Not something that's, my ring, I'm not counting that.

Oh you're not, like an object that you use that's not on your person? Because I have a couple of sealants that my nana snuck into the dentist's office over the weekend and put in there. Well you're getting very, very technical. Well you know, I'm being honest. I've got sealants that, in fact, last time I went to the dentist, he was like,

your sealants are still intact from when you were a kid. Mine too. Yeah. My Nana worked for the dentist, but she was not a dentist, and then she would sneak me in on the weekend and give me things like sealants because she was a dental assistant. Yeah.

She did all the dentist things. She stole from the dentist. Well, who incidentally was your father-in-law. Yep. She didn't steal. She stole from him. You owe me. I'm sure.

Your family stole from my family. I'm sure she told him and it didn't matter. He didn't care. Now, so okay, sealants or fillings, the ring. I've been right, your glasses. I don't wanna. I think you're frustrated because I was right. Now the thing you're gonna tell me is not as old.

No, no, no, I'm saying an object that you come in contact with and use. Like for you it might be your glasses. Oh. Like, because I feel like the ring and the glass, but things that you wear, yeah, technically. Well fine, we can go outside of the body. But I'm thinking something that I come in contact

with every single day for a moment in time and I keep coming back to it every single day. Let me, can I guess? And it has to do with my mouth. So this is in the bathroom? Mm-hmm. Your toothbrush is the oldest thing you come in contact with?

No, close. I know what it is. What? You still have one of those freaking tongue brushes. I have the original Orabrush tongue is. What? You still have one of those freakin' tongue brushes. I have the original Orabrush tongue brush. What? And it has not lost any of its effectiveness. Gosh, I mean, they sponsored our videos seven years ago?

I don't know how long ago. Oh my gosh, and it literally says on the packaging you're supposed to replace it every year. Their whole business model is based on the fact that you can't keep it for that long. They made them so well that I've looked at this thing a million times and there's absolutely no degradation on any part of it and I wash it every single time I use it.

You can't autoclave it, man. You don't know how clean it is. You wash it. You rinse it. No, but it's- You say you wash your feet too. It's just stuff from my own face. But you just let soap run over your feet

and that doesn't count as washing your feet. You can't reinfect yourself with a virus or a bacteria that you already have. But what about the stuff floating and landing on it? There's nothing floating and landing on it. From your, we've been through this. Well yeah, but your toothbrush has the same thing. Your toothbrush has got crap all over it.

You have to replace your toothbrush every single day and take it out of a sterilized sealed package if you wanted to avoid those germs. I do. But to me, I think the thing that I come in contact with besides my ring and my fillings and my sealants every single day. Check, check, check.

Is my tongue brush and it's so old. It's seven years old. I got rid of mine not more than a year and a half ago. So I kept mine for a long time too. And you got rid of it not because it quit working, you got rid of mine not more than a year and a half ago. So I kept mine for a long time too. And you got rid of it not because it quit working, you got rid of it why? Just because you were like, you don't use a toothbrush anymore?

I don't, I brush with the brush again and I'll use. The brush doesn't work as well. I know it doesn't. I mean, Orr Brush is no longer a sponsor of anything that we do. Are they still around? I don't even know. But they had a saying that was, a saying, it was a slogan, 90%, or it was just a fact,

90% of bad breath is caused by a dirty tongue. And I wholeheartedly believe that. Or a brush, come back to us. You should be brushing your freaking tongue. We need you guys to be founding sponsors of our podcast. I don't know what that means, we'll call you that. There is absolutely no excuse for 90% of bad breath. Save, save the excuse.

Such a pet peeve of mine. Save the ad copy for when we've got the deal in place. Clean your freaking tongue and then rinse with 50% hydrogen peroxide, 50% water. Gargle with that crap once a month. You'll never have bad breath. I just saved your life. The oldest object for me, I just figured it out,

is it's gotta be a T-shirt. Every day though? Until three years ago, oh every day. A lot of days. But you had that one that you slept in all the time. Yeah my Math Olympiad T-shirt I got when I was in I think sixth grade and I wore it up until three years ago. To sleep in every night.

Yeah I slept in it. Because you wanted to feel like a math champion every night? Yep. To balance my jockishness. Oh gosh. I didn't say jock-ishness. I just wanna make sure that came.

Yeah, I knew what you meant. Oh man. But you don't have that anymore and you don't have your freaking tongue brush. And you don't have your freaking retainer. I feel so portrayed. You haven't have your freaking retainer. I feel so portrayed. You haven't noticed my teeth getting crooked? I haven't seen your teeth in five years.

Yeah, that's why I don't care because you can't see my teeth. Right. My teeth could be any color. You can't see them. My mouth is covered by my lips. My teeth are covered by my lips and then my mustache does the trick as well.

Right, you don't need to use that other retainer. Total tooth coverage. Total tooth coverage. Total tooth coverage. Yeah, I'm just gonna quit caring for my oral hygiene altogether, because it doesn't matter. Speaking of total tooth coverage, you know that we will totally cover your teeth in Ear Biscuits anytime you podcast it up with us.

You can count on us every week to do this. Every week. Every week, we'll come back at your ears. We'll come back at your ears. We'll come back at your ears. Just be ready.
