This, this, this, this is Mythical. Welcome to Ear Biscuits, the podcast where two lifelong friends talk about life for a long time. I'm Link. And I'm Rhett. This week at the round table of Demlighting, it's another mini, about a half hour. This is what we're giving you while we are giving ourselves a little break. Some ARA and R.

A little break, some little break. ARA and ARA. Which I'm sure we will be telling you about when we return back to full length episodes. Which will be like three weeks from now. Who knows what will be happening at the time. But speaking of travel. One of the things that will be happening when we return is pushing Wonderhole.

Yeah, let's push it. And I am so excited about the premiere of season two of Wonderhole. We got six episodes coming your way and starting August 24th, so every Sunday we'll be releasing an episode. Six episodes, six weeks starting August 24th. It's on the Rhett and Link channel, Rhett and Link's Wonder Hole. You just Google that, you'll be taken to it.

Half hour comedy. And. That's all I'm gonna say at this point. We are doing something very special to celebrate. We have a live in-person event with us where you're going to screen a couple of episodes of WonderHole and then we're gonna tell a couple of stories about WonderHole.

We're gonna have a Q&A with Stevie on stage. There's also some VIP tickets available where you can get some exclusive, an exclusive signed poster and meet and greet with us. So that is in Los Angeles and Seattle. Tickets are available now, wonderhole.com. Wonderhole.com. Get your tickets, wonderhole.com.

Because we wanted to create an event where we could share this special thing that we've made with Mythical Beasts in a theater. We did a premiere for season one that was very fun, but it was just friends and some industry people. And we actually had talked about doing something that was more fan-centric last year. It's harder to coordinate that because you gotta find a bigger place, but we had time to think about it this year. And it costs money, which is why, you know,

you got to figure out how to sell tickets and all that stuff. Right, yeah. So it's going to be a fun, mythical night. Scoop up your tickets, wonderhole.com. Let's, we got an update from somebody, an industry professional who was commenting on one of the things that we contemplated or talked about

in a previous episode. Let's hear that. Hi, Rhett and Link. My name is Natalie. I worked as a flight attendant and I just listened to the Irbiscus episode where you guys were talking about unruly passengers. And Rhett is absolutely right about two things. Unruly incidents have gone up quite significantly over the last few years. And Rhett's comment about being looked to as someone who could help in an emergency is absolutely true. Cabin crew are encouraged to look for what we call able-bodied passengers on the flight, and that's anyone who we think we could help in an emergency, anyone who is

strong, who is fit, who's not drinking too much, who could, who we could call on to help if we needed help with an unruly passenger or evacuations or any sort of incidents on board. So Rhett as a big man could absolutely be someone who could be called on in an emergency, of course. You can decline, but he's absolutely spot on. So thank you guys for having our backs as cabin crew members and encouraging people to listen to us because we really are just doing it for your safety, trust me.

We're not there to scold you because we like to. Okay, thank you guys so much. Well, there you go. Scientific verification. What about me? Rhett, yeah, well, I would definitely call it, what about me? I'm sitting right here. I'm sitting next to him. Okay. Do you really think... I'm able-bodied.

Like, honestly, if somebody sees you on a plane in 2025, this is what it's gonna look like. First of all, he's gonna have on a giraffe-patterned hoodie and sweatshirt, full suit. He's gonna have on sunglasses inside. He'll be one of the only guys on the plane with sunglasses. a giraffe patterned hoodie and sweatshirt, full suit. He's gonna have on sunglasses inside. He'll be one of the only guys on the plane with sunglasses. He's gonna have a bandana that's probably over the bottom part of his face and then the hood's gonna be up at some point. There may be a neck pillow.

This does not look like a guy who's gonna help anybody but himself, let's just be honest. Which I'm already doing to myself. So I don't think you're gonna be looking at you and thinking, this guy's gonna help in an emergency. You might need to call on me to get out of the way. Yeah, that's true. I had an incident.

And my toes might be out, too. Yeah, he doesn't even have shoes on. You can't see any skin on me until you scan either my hands and fingers or my toes. The funny thing is. Those are the only skin I have exposed on a plane. Jessie and I were on a plane coming back from the trip I was talking about to North Carolina.

And we got on the plane and there was a guy on the plane with his sunglasses on. And Jessie leaned over and she was like, and it was, of course it was a flight to LA. So this is not uncommon, but he was like, she's like, why, other than wanting someone to think that you're someone, why would you have sunglasses on on the plane? And I said, well, Link,

wears sunglasses on the plane, and I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt and say it's not because he wants to be noticed. I think it's because he's vampire-like and he wants his eyes to be shaded because he's very sensitive to light and he wants to sleep. Is that right?

to light and he wants to sleep. Is that right? Uh, I think there's many benefits to this. Okay. I feel like it's a form of disguise. I know it draws attention, but then when the attention is... my hair draws attention. I mean... Yeah, but when you have sunglasses... Yes, it draws attention like you have on sunglasses, but then you can't fully tell who it is under the sunglasses. I don't know if that's true. I saw this guy and I was like, he's a celebrity.

He's a celebrity. He has on sunglasses on a plane. And now I'm trying to figure out who he is, and otherwise I wouldn't be trying to figure that out. So I don't know if that is an effective strategy. But what you're not gonna do is, you're much less likely to approach him. Well that's true. Right? If that's your goal.

Yes, that is one of my goals. Oh, you don't wanna be approached. You get in the morning, traveling, you get all these pictures taken of you. I don't care. You need to send a message that it's too early, you need to be left alone. But what am I trying to protect?

Pictures of me at 5 a.m. on Reddit looking like a 47-year-old man is not, it's the truth. That would be up to you. I was at the airport at 5 a.m. and I'm a 47-year-old man. Right. There's evidence of that, pictorial evidence? I want to look. I'm fine.

It's not that I would look horrible, it's just I don't want to engage with anybody. So it's a message that is effective. Also, I don't like people knowing what I'm looking at. Oh, okay. I like just, and I like for my eyes to be closed. You know, I could also put in earbuds, which I do that a lot. You're kinda like a professional world poker tour player who's not actually playing poker. Yeah, I'm just traveling. Guy with a hood, sunglasses, and earbuds. But he's just traveling.

Also, my sunglasses are prescription. And it's just hard to switch my glasses. Also, my sunglasses are prescription and it's just hard to switch my glasses. I get annoyed switching my glasses around all the time. What about, what do they call it when they change? It is bright and it makes it easier to sleep. What do they call it when they go? Transition. Transitional lenses.

Yeah. You had those for a while, didn't you? Never had that. Buying life insurance is like hiring a bodyguard for your bank account after you're gone. It's funny, but it's also true. Yeah, I thought that was funny. Life insurance is something that should be taken seriously because the reality is many people are paying too much

for too little coverage, and if coverage is tied to a job, a sudden layoff could leave a family unprotected. That's where SelectQuote comes in.

Okay, well, I had something happen to me on that very same flight with the celebrity, who I don't know who it was. There was a woman seated across the aisle and then up against the window, but on my row.

So I'm on the aisle and then across the aisle, there's a dude, her husband, and then she is up against the window. Okay. First thing I hear- Who's beside you, by the way? My wife. Okay. She's on a window.

She's on a window. Yeah, I'm an aisle guy. Okay. Big. Legs go out to the aisle. Ready to help. Ready to help with anything, ready to trip up the cart. Yeah. I hear a noise emit from the phone, a notification sound,

but not exactly a recognizable notification sound. But then I hear something else. I hear a voice coming from the phone, it's in a different language. And then I hear the woman repeat the thing that the phone said. And then another ding. I am familiar with how Rosetta Stone works because, as you know, they are a sponsor from time to time. I use the app when I feel enthusiastic about learning Spanish, which comes in waves.

Yeah. I can't say comes in waves in Spanish. That's how far I've made it. I can say, I walked into the kitchen the other day and my wife was drinking some water and I looked at her and said, ella bebe, which is the woman drinks. The woman drinks. Yeah.

That's what you said. Ella bebe. The woman drinks. Who were you talking to? The woman? I was talking, I was saying the only thing I could say in that situation, which is the woman drinks. It just happened to be my wife was the only one there, who is the woman who's drinking.

So you're learning Spanish observational parlance. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The woman drinks. The table is flat. It might be she drinks. I think it's she drinks. She drinks. The table is flat. It might be she drinks. I think it's she drinks. She drinks. So now you're telling me that this woman on the plane is using Rosetta Stone. Yes, loudly. And the plane has not taken off yet. We are taxiing. But she was doing it at full volume. So the first minute passes.

I see her husband look over at her, but he looks over at her and then she says back to him, that's a difficult one. And he's like, he's not telling her not to do this. He's not saying, honey, not right now. So he's not helping. What? And it's loud. Like I, it's, if you get it right, ding!

If you get the, if you repeat it right. Yeah, that pierces the entire cabin. And she's doing multiple of these. Yeah, and I'm like. She's trying to keep her streak alive or something. I begin to think to myself, well, first thing I do is I size the husband up because he's in between the two of us.

And if you're gonna grab that phone from her, you're gonna have to contend with him. So I think to myself, okay, how long am I going to let this go on before I am the one to say something about it? Because what I have found is while between the two of us, I'm not the first one to stand up and say something in a situation like that.

I'm not the first one to stand up and tell somebody in a theater, turn around and tell them to shh or, however, what I have found is that in the general population, if you don't happen to be there, I tend to be the first to act in these situations. Somebody cuts in line at Disney. I say something to them. Somebody gets loud at a theater. If they do it one second time, I say something to them. Like, I tend to do that.

And so in this setting, I thought. I would like to think that I've influenced you. I'm gonna have to be the guy to do this. You're a big guy. You're capable. You haven't been drinking too much. But then I was like, what am I going to say? So I started to brainstorm potential ways in.

Of course you thought about learning something in Spanish. So I started to brainstorm potential ways in. Mm-hmm. Um... Of course, you thought about learning something in Spanish. Well, the first thing I thought was there's a funny way in which is like... Um... Excuse me. I enjoy learning Spanish, too. Yeah. But I couldn't think of the second part. The other part's important.

It was gonna be something funny. I moved on from that and said, that might seem a little too confrontational. As a comedy writer, which you are, I think that could be disappointed, but I do think that's a technique. Sometimes you're just writing, you wanna stay in the flow, so instead of writing a joke, you say, joke TBD, and then you just keep going. That's kinda what you're doing.

I knew there was a set up for something, but then I was like, maybe what I'll say is, well then there was another one that was assuming that she didn't, first before her husband leaned over, I thought maybe she didn't know. Some people think that they have headphones in and they forget. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So they, hey, did you know that that was,

did you know how loud that was? Or like asking a question like that. That was another strategy. And then what I landed on was, excuse me, could you turn that down? Okay. And you said that? No, because... No?

No, because she stopped. Oh, she stopped. Three minutes into this process, she stopped. On her own accord. Could you tell other people were looking at her? Well, the moment it started happening, I started doing the thing where I'm trying to find the person to commiserate. Y'all believe this? Y'all believe this is happening?

Yes, somebody else who's noticing. And I thought, I was just thinking about what would happen. For sure, I would not have let it go on into takeoff. If it had continued through taxi and take takeoff and she was like, okay, this woman is just Rosetta Stoning this whole flight. Yeah. I would have nipped it in the bud for sure. And I don't know how her husband would have been, but it could have been an unruly situation.

I'm not a fighter. I'm a lover, not a fighter. I'm not gonna fight somebody over it, but it's ridiculous to do stuff full volume on your phone on the plane. Why is this still a thing? Why is this still a thing? On the flight there, there was a guy who was watching

Instagram, TikTok, whatever, looking at it full volume. Yeah, full volume. But have you not ever been in a situation where someone else was doing that? You're waiting for a flight. Or you're just in a damn deli and you hear somebody watching a show and you look over and there's somebody either seated by themselves or sitting with somebody they're not talking to. They're eating their lunch, they got their phone propped up, they're with a speaker on,, they're sitting with somebody they're not talking to, they're eating their lunch, they got their phone propped up, they're with the speaker on, and they're just watching a show.

Loud! Loud! The people who watch stuff on their phones and the audio goes into the room, they do it very loud. I don't know what... There's some correlation between not being able to hear well and deciding to do that in public. They just don't think that it's getting to anybody else. Yeah, is that what it is? That might be in their world, they don't ever hear these things. There's a lot of people like that who just,

things are just tuned out. They don't know the things that are happening around them. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt because I'm saying that, I'm not saying that they have no empathy. They have no ability to actually put themselves in someone else's shoes. There's no awareness. It's just awareness.

And it's hard. It's hard to know what to say. I think maybe the best thing to do is to ask the flight attendant, you know, could you say something to this person? They're doing Rosetta Stone. That's a good idea. is to ask the flight attendant, could you say something to this person they're doing Rosetta Stone? That's a good idea. You stay out of it,

because you're at risk of being the unruly passenger. I totally forgot about the flight attendant. Yeah, yeah. Totally forgot about the flight attendant. Somebody with actual authority to do something, have some weight behind their words. All you are is a big man that might be scaring a woman who can't hear well.

And then the husband, most men would feel a need. Right. Even if my wife was doing something that she shouldn't be doing and another dude says something to her, I'm gonna feel this like protective instinct. So a flight attendant, that's the thing, I should have thought about that.

Yeah, you gotta work through the flight attendant. You know, while we're doing this... You don't wanna be unruly, man, because, I mean, as we've heard, it's happening more. People are just on edge. People are going crazy, man. I think that's just what it is. People are on edge. Well, the world is on edge. The world is on edge.

Rightfully so, by the way. Well, yeah. While we're on this subject of PSA, I think it's time... I got two more, and I think... We've talked about one quite a bit. I think from time to time... Speakerphone? We talked about that? No, so I'm saying there's another one we've talked about a bunch, and then there's a new one that we may have talked about a little, but I just feel like it's time to just, it's like crop dusting. From time to time, we have to just crop dust these PSAs

because I just feel like it makes the world a better place. So we'll just cover that one. Do not listen to anything on your speakerphone in public. Period. Do not have a speakerphone call with anyone in public. It's easy. Stop doing that. Don't do it. Never do it. Don't do it. Never. Do not have a speakerphone call with anyone in public. It's easy. Stop doing that.

Don't do it. Never do it. Don't do it. Never do it. There's a hole at the top of your phone and you can put it up to your ear. Good God! What is wrong with you? I know.

That's still a part of the phone. And then when you put it up to your ear, it blasts whatever you want to hear right into your ear hole. That still is a part of your phone. The thing that blasts it everywhere, and then some of it gets caught by your ear hole, it's actually not working as well, and it's bringing everybody else into your business.

Use the little hole and put it up against your little hole. It's still part of the phone. Use the little hole. I believe that people don't know it's a part of the phone! Use the little hole. I believe that people don't know it's a part of the phone. [♪ theme music playing. Funky music playing. Funky music playing.] Second thing. Boys who are growing beards. Ha. Oh. Boys.

Okay. Man. Okay, men, okay, whatever. People who grow beards. The way you figure out where to start your beard and start shaving, the line here, okay? The way you figure that out, okay? And this is coming from a man who does not have a chin, but can still do this method. You take your finger and where your neck hits your chin. So your chin is going back and then it hits your neck at some close to 90 degree

angle, right? Well, maybe not. Whatever. At an angle. That spot is where your beard should be shaved to. If you have a really long chin that has like several inches between your chin and your neck, there should be beard all on the other underside of that. You do not look at your face and see your jawline and then shave your beard along the jawline.

You do not do that. You do not do that. You know you've done wrong when you look up and you see this white horseshoe. I'm not even gonna explain why. But if you just go look at pictures of people who've done it right and done it wrong, you tell me which one looks better.

What if you have some neck weight? What if you have, like, down here below the chin, you kinda got that... The technique works best for everyone regardless. Now, if you have... So what if it doesn't go straight back? What if it goes down like that and you've got... You've got to find it. If you have a lot of neck weight, if you've got a fat neck... Then what? You're still right, by the way. It's harder to find that because of the fat, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try.

You still gotta do it. And you want the, I think you want the beard to grow on the fat, and then I want, cause then it just feels like more beard down there. And then if you grow this down, you might wanna cover up some of that. It works regardless of your face shape,

it works regardless of how much weight you have on your face. And the line is from that to the corner of the jaw, is where you start, and then the line goes to that spot. It doesn't go along here, it goes to here. Make the change. And first of all, it's hard to make changes. It's hard to change your hairstyle. It's hard to change your beard. Just do this. Trust me. Do not think about it.

Don't even look at the picture. Just start doing this. Start doing this, and you will, if you're a seven, you'll become a nine. I don't know why this one makes you so upset though, honestly, because it's not like the speakerphone thing. I mean, how is it impacting you? I'm still upset about the speakerphone thing. Oh, okay. Yeah. He's using the anger from the speakerphone thing.

Just do it! To help the bearded guys. Just do it! Third thing, you gotta work on your breath, people. We talk about this all the time, but I just keep encountering it. And so I feel like the message hasn't crop dusted far enough yet.

If you don't have a tongue brush, you should invest in one now. Invest in one. Your toothbrush. Diamond play. Your toothbrush is not an adequate substitute. I don't believe. A tongue scraper, tongue brush is what you need and you need to do it every morning.

Every morning. And you go deep. If you have a gag reflex, get over it. Because you will eventually train your body to take it, okay? Like, if it's hard, you'll get over it. I had a gag reflex. I would brush my tongue every morning and it would go, and then eventually my throat was like, I guess this is gonna happen every day. I better get used to it. You can adjust. You can get used to things.

Do that, and then the second thing is, is if you don't know that you don't have bad breath, you probably do have bad breath, okay? And so the next thing you need to do is you need to get some hydrogen peroxide, you need to mix it one to one with water, and you need to gargle with it. Yeah.

And you need to do this once a day for a week. You wanna gargle deep too. You wanna make that low note. Low, get low. And then the second week, do it three times. Then you can probably go down to once a week and then you can go down to once a month. And then honestly, once the bacterial balance

of your mouth gets right, you don't have to ever do it again. Like I haven't done hydrogen peroxide in several years. I love the fact that whenever we do talk about this, it feels- It's making a difference. I feel like lives are changing. It's making a difference.

You're right now listening to what Rhett has said, and you're thinking about it. But you're about to forget about it. You're about to move on to the next thing, because we're about to move on to the next thing. And if you're a guy... But don't! Listen.

Just, matter of fact, just stop right now. Go get you some hydrogen peroxide, and get you some water. Hopefully you have some of that where you're at. And then- You can do it straight, but I wouldn't, you can mix it. Think about it. Do it. Statistically speaking, there's a guy out there right now

who is currently having all of his conversations on speakerphone and listening to shows. He also has his beard cut right on his jawline, and he has bad breath. Like, think about it. That might be 1% to 2% of the population, but it's a type of guy. And you can change all three things at once! Revolutionary. Holy shit! You're gonna be a whole different person!

You should change your name. Like, when you go to college and use a different name, you should do that. Oh, like a nickname, yeah, but like legally that's hard. You don't have to legally do it. I'm just saying like if you're a Tom, become a Tommy. Thomas, I don't know, just change it. You know, big Tom. I don't care what it is because now you're gonna look better,

you're gonna smell better, and you're gonna sound better. And this may all seem like it's superficial and unimportant, but the thing is is that we share this planet. We share these planes. We share these public spaces. We share the same space and we breathe in the same space. And occasionally have to look at your face and think, why is the beard there? Why is it there? Why is it there? Who came up with this? Who decided that? Excuse me, sir. Why is your beard there? I'm an unruly passenger and I'm here to ask you, why is your beard there?

Feisty. Yeah, yeah. Sometimes I just feel like we gotta do some, when you feel like you can't really do anything about the big problems in the world, do something about the small ones. That's what I say. You know what I'm saying?

I can't avert World War III, which who knows where we're at when this comes out. This is why I bundle up on a plane, just to not see or engage with any of these people doing all these wild things. Yeah, okay. And yes, I then become someone doing a wild thing, but I'm quiet about it.

I don't think what you're doing is annoying. I'm not touching anybody, I'm not annoying anybody. It's a wild thing that I do, but it is wild and self-contained. Be as wild as you want, as long as it's self-contained, right? Yeah, I just think the only, with what you do there is that- Wild and self-contained. It's about- That's the line for me that I do cross.

Perception. It's just about how are you going to be perceived and is it actually working towards your goals, your perceptual goals? I'd say yes. If it's to not be noticed, you're not doing a great job. It's not to be engaged. Okay. To disengage and also not to see or smell or hear

what all these things that other people are wilding out about. Listen, people are gonna be wilding out, that doesn't mean you have to crash out to use the parlance. And the last thing I'll say is that, listen, I had bad breath. The reason I'm passionate about this is I had a year, I had a year of bad breath and I didn't know what to do.

It was halitosis, it was my early 20s, early marriage, mid 20s probably. And I tried a lot of different things and then I found the hydrogen peroxide and the tongue brush. And Jesse didn't complain about it. And I also, believe it or not, at the time, had a chin strap that was more or less run along my neckline.

Yeah, you had all this. My jawline, yeah. I have made these mistakes. I say these things as someone who has suffered. Now I've never done the speakerphone thing. I've always, cause I just felt like I never went there. I've done the speakerphone thing, but only if I have a real dirty face.

Okay. I just try to avoid talking on the phone too. So I've been there, I've struggled with these things, but they can be overcome. Your life can be changed. Yeah. Trying to think if there's anything, any other little tips we have that makes people-

What do we got right now? What do we got? I think if you're, what do we got? Yeah, what do we got? Like, what else have you seen lately that you're like, why is that person doing this and how can I help them? I mean, when I talk to middle-aged people, I have really become an advocate for stretching, which to your credit is from you.

Okay. So if you are 45 or older, you need to stretch every morning. It needs to be the first thing. I've actually gotten to the point where now I do a pre-stretch. When I wake up, I'll do a little stretch in bed before I get out of bed. Because getting out of bed is one of the most common causes of accidents in the home for middle-aged people. It's true.

I mean, that... Whether it's true or not, it sounds true. That wonky twist and turn and throwing your legs out, boy, it's like... It's, yeah. Precarious. You're gonna find out how old you are if you're not a stretcher. And people are anti-stretch, especially men.

There's some sort of toxic masculine thing that happens where it's just like being able to touch your toes is not cool or something. I think maybe that's changing a little bit with fitness stuff, but us growing up, like, if you... You can touch your toes! What, are you a woman? You know, like, I think there was some anti-stretch bias that hopefully we're overcoming.

Yeah. That makes sense. Hey, he's right. Y'all women have been free to stretch... I'm not kidding. ...forever. Especially southern men. Us men have had it hard. We've had to stretch in secret. Yeah, that can be really difficult.

Yeah. Ha ha ha! Us men, we've had it so hard. That sounds sincere. But so many, listen, so many problems will be solved. Your back hurts right now? Stretch. Get those hammies loose. Get those hips loose. Get your quads loosened up. You would be so surprised at how things can change for you. I mean, I'm not gonna tell you that you should start wearing barefoot shoes, because I've talked about it.

Don't do that. But I feel like I gotta have a'm feel like I got to have a brand partnership with somebody because my life is also changing in that regard. Last night I went on a walk with my wife probably a three-mile walk and I wore those dag gum leather weave shoes that I've got now you know the ones I've been wearing this week. My summer shoes. Yeah they're sandals and they have no support at all. And I did a three mile walk on concrete with them because my feet have completely adjusted.

You said you weren't gonna talk about this. I'm just saying, I'm not gonna tell you that you need that, but I'm just gonna say you need that. We've done so much good. If you'll just listen, just take a risk, just make it an experiment. Don't tell it, you don't even have to tell anybody. Yeah, yeah, this is all just you making decisions.

You don't have to call us and tell us, yeah. This is all just you making decisions for me. You don't have to call us and tell us, but thank you, Flight Attendant, for calling us, and be safe out there. You know? Let's de-escalate a little bit. Let's put on our sunglasses. Let's wrap up in a bandana and a hoodie. Well, let's not get creepy. Well, you don't have to prescribe that. If everybody does that, the world will no longer connect with each other. Let's de-escalate and keep quiet. And public.

We'll see you next week for another mini. In the meantime, keep calling in, asking us questions, giving us updates. 1-888- EarPod1. I will say there's certain things, well, I won't get into it. Next time. I think we're done. Is it over?

Yeah. I think you were in it. Hi Rhett and Link. I just listened to your short and sweet summer episode where Shepherd calls Rhett about hiking in the woods and getting his boots all dirty, and Rhett went full dad mode preaching about ticks. And I so appreciate that.

I am getting my master's degree specifically studying ticks and tick-borne diseases, so preach protecting yourself. Do TSA checks for ticks on your body. Keep yourself safe. Love you guys. Bye.
