I always interpreted wittiness as an indication of having a high level of intelligence. Links ability to use words in an often amusing and humorous way on the spot is extremely impressive yet very under appreciated.
I think your local commercials were brilliant. It showed me another layer of Rhett and Link that I really enjoyed. Those commercials were hilarious and original.
Yes! They were hilarious!! I just got into GMM about 2 years ago, got hooked and ended up going way back through everything. Watching their local commercials had me in tears I was laughing so hard.
The chuck testa commercial was something that went around my high school and everyone loved it. It was only with that recent episode that I realized it was from R&L. Blew my mind!
I'm glad this conversation was had. I appreciate cotton candy randy and the duality of both the realness and the bits. it keeps the show fresh in my opinion.
@@magicbloo which is why they have to adapt if they want the views from the general audience. Which also causes the ones who appreciate their humor, to get frustrated when they do simple/stupid kid-type content. Basically you cant please everyone, so just do what you like
Mr.E Exactly! If you build it, they will come. There is always an audience for what you have to offer. It’s sad so many artists and entertainers are straddled by their critics. That’s one thing I like about Joe Rogan. That dude will put up a podcast with anyone he wants to, no matter what backlash it causes. And he’ll say whatever goes through his mind, with no fear of the reaction.
I am certainly in the "obsessed with cotton candy randy" camp! But on a serious note, I think this was a much-needed podcast as I too have seen so many comments where people criticize CCR or Josh or even Rhett as people for the characters they play on GMM. While everyone wants to feel connected to Rhett and Link, and like they know them, it's still a comedy show that does bits for comedic purposes. If everything was unscripted there wouldn't be the same flow, and if everything was all the same type of humour day in and day out then it would stop being as funny. We've been lucky enough to see Rhett and Link, and GMM, grow over the years and evolve and with it the humour has always changed. One of the things I love most as an older viewer (30 years old), is that there is a lot of fun, clean, family-friendly jokes as well as more adult, sly points. There is also so much of the content that is silly and immature and wacky, but that balances perfectly with the more cynical, dark aspects. When Rhett mentioned that the comments make him feel like his participation and role in the show is unwanted, that was hard to hear. It should be obvious that it is a bit. They have a friendship that has lasted a lifetime, and clearly, they know each other and play off of each other in order to create this mythical world.
Not much of a smart boi comment here, but thanks for saying what was (probably) on a lot of mythical beasts' minds. I'm only 18 so I've practically grown with GMM since season 4, and have always thought something like this needed to be said.
Tenby Lloyd hold on, people criticize Josh? I’m gonna go off on those people lol Josh is a national treasure. Also it was hard for me too to hear Rhett saying that it’s like some people don’t want to see what he brings to the show
I haven't watched the episode yet but when I saw the part of your comment that mentioned Rhett feeling like his place in the show is not valuable or unwanted my heart literally dropped. I hope he knows his time and effort is greatly appreciated by so many people.
Rhett is the kind of person I'd be friends with IRL. He's witty, funny, sarcastic, introspective, sardonic, calm, collected, and interpersonally effective. I see him being the popular guy in the room that everyone likes, because he's so cool and laidback. Link is silly and goofy. He's also very intelligent. He's a planner, and seems a lot more organized and calculated IRL than Rhett. He cleans and organizes for fun, for God's sake! He's probably more anxious and uptight IRL than Rhett. So, I love the both. They remind me of different tidbits of myself.
Rhett is sarcastic and sardonic, not “mean”...and a lot of ppl interpret that verbiage personally! In most cases, ppl with these characteristics are usually extremely sensitive, intelligent, introverted, introspective and caring. It’s a defense mechanism, and I get it! ❤️👍
I don't know if you're reading this or not, but Link, I see nothing but high quality content and emotional strength from how you act/react on the show (GMM, or really anything you do). It shows a certain kind of care-free attitude that opens the windows into pure happiness and entertainment. I think it's actually really admirable and you have honestly helped me personally in allowing things to "bounce off" more instead of taking things to heart and being hurt at times where it isn't necessary.
@@vtgchanelswan I'm glad that there are others who can relate in the same way. He does silly stuff all the time and sometimes messes up (like with the cat poo water) but he /owns/ it. He doesn't deny it when he messes up but he also moves past stuff like that so quickly and it not only makes him fun to watch, but it also shows strong qualities in general as a human being.
Master Shadow He helps make things seem normal and more human! He may be clumsy, but, so am I? He owns it, so should I! He knows he messes up and acts silly and I love that about him!! He doesn’t try to seem better than everyone else or like he is perfect and can’t make mistakes. He is real. Man, I just love both of them so much! I feel I am connected to them way too much just because I pretty much grew up watching them. Age 11-18. 100% will always be my favorite youtubers of all time.
@@anabelle3179 Man, Mine too. Both of them are definitely great. I pretty much grew up with them too haha. From like 12 (ish) to 21. First thing I ever saw that they did was the T-shirt War video and I have always loved their content ever since. Also as a side note, I love your profile picture :) I was literally just googling that show like 3 hours ago.
People do know what Link has a degree in Industrial Engineering and that he worked for IBM right? Both of the guys have engineering degrees and are incredibly intelligent. How someone could think was dumb is beyond me lol
@@quirkyblackenby I've been clumsy most of my life and I look young. It is a regular struggle to be taken seriously because I trip over things and I look younger than the level of responsibility I have.
Matthew S Link is super intelligent. However he does have some pretty blonde moments.. remember the whole “my cup of tea” thing? That plus the clumsiness.
Been a mythical beast since 2013, and this hour+ conversation is one of my favorite pieces of content you've made. As someone who routinely analyzes your content just as a hobby (not through commenting online, I just mean in my head throughout the day) hearing a candid conversation about the patterns in GMM was not only insightful, but also rewarding! Just the other day I was thinking about why Rhett is always the one who hosts the information segments, I find things like that fascinating. I met you guys at a meet and greet at Vidcon Amsterdam in 2017 (I was the crier from Wisconsin, though you probably don't remember) and between that and attending your Q&A, it actually made me realize a lot of the things that you talked about in this podcast, namely the differences in your GMM personas and how you act in person. But those differences didn't really take away any of the magic for me, it just helped give me a more nuanced view of GMM. This is a topic that I find myself thinking about often, and I honestly could go on and on about! So to hear you two discuss it was a lot of fun. I actually never comment on your videos despite how much I think about them, but I felt compelled to comment on this one since I think Rhett is right; people who enjoy things usually don't say as much compared to when people dislike something. So I just wanted to say, I am here and I loved this! I appreciated it, and will continue to ponder it...
#EarBiscuits I understand the frustration. I'm repeatedly frustrated by GMM viewers who take things *so* seriously or misunderstand things. It drives me crazy. Unfortunately I think the people who GET it and appreciate your humor aren't necessarily going to comment or tweet at you guys - it's the people who get offended or confused that will speak up.
It always seemed to me that when people complain about the show, it’s because of something that ruins their fantasy that Rhett and Link are two guys just hanging out for fun rather than two comedians making an entertaining show with a lot of thought in it. Side note- the prank I hated the most on Link was when they made him eat human hair in chocolate. I wanted to cry for him it was so gross 😅
You have to remember the age of most of your audience. As someone closer to your age I think you both are brilliantly amazing! Please don’t let negativity affect what you do.
I love the line, "the thing that attracts them to the show is the heart and soul of the show, and its our true selves coming through." The authentic moments of pure fun and joy are what takes GMM to the next level. Even though I think the majority of your older and more mature audience members who can tell when you are exaggerating your reactions or making other artistic choices really like that about it too! It is obvious that a lot of love is poured into your show. God bless you :D
I really appreciate your openness. I think we tend to forget that y'all have a public self and private self because it feels like we really know you. The format of your content makes you feel more accessible than old media format. It is important for you to keep that to yourself and your family. Thank you for sharing what you do share!
fascinating ear biscuits, guys. i love the 'inside baseball' talk. i find it odd that there really are people out there that actually think that what you guys do in certain situations is 'real', and vice versa i guess, but i hope you can not let those types of people/comments get you down. you both bring amazing things to the table, and without *either* of you, things just wouldn't be the same! love and respect!
Wow. I must say it's nice to see a different side of you both. I recently found your channel and have already watched hundreds of videos and amazed I didn't find you sooner. It's refreshing to see this side and its interesting to see the thoughts and hear about the work that goes into all of this in the background. Seems like this is not only a good, secondary angle for us to see but a good tool for you guys to vent and let it app hang out a little. I appreciate all of the work you guys put into this. Oh btw, im already part of your mythical discord :) see you there! Keep up the good work guys
I don’t think anyone could watch/listen to an ear biscuit and not realise how intelligent you both are. I loved this episode! I love how self-aware you guys are. You guys are able to see where your weaknesses and your strengths are and you are both working on changing the negatives out and bringing the positives in more. Not many people are able to do that. Rhett you have made me realise that my husband is almost certainly a three. I love ear biscuits just for the more serious and in depth conversations, giving me the illusion of being the ‘third person in the bath’ 😅
I love you, Rhett. I love your humour, personality and what you bring to GMM and everything Mythical. R&L literally wouldn’t be the same without you. You’re irreplaceable and more fans adore you than you realise 💖
An hour and a quarter of brilliant footage with no ads and no boring parts. This was actually my first time listening to Ear Biscuits, but I’ll be sure to subscribe.
The love and friendship between Rhett and Link is a wonderful thing, that's what makes GMM one of my favourite TV shows ever. You guys are truly awesome. I'm a long time viewer but this is my first comment on your videos, I just thought I should say I appreciate your work, and the sense of genuine fun that always shines through it all. Keep doing what you're doing, I'll keep watching, and I have no doubt it'll keep brightening my days. :)
Ive watched rhett and link since they first started creating content and this was the best ear biscuits so far, really in depth and raw. Thanks for creating the content guys glad its blown up into what it is with all the hard work and I will continue to buy merch and watch every video
This is the first Ear Biscuits I’ve ever listened to. I really enjoyed the “behind the scenes” look at your process! Thanks for all you guys do, you never fail to put a smile on my face!
This is my all time favourite episode of Ear Biscuits. I feel honoured with the level of honesty and vulnerability you both show throughout. Wow, guys! Just. Wow. 👏👏👏👏
Hey guys, this is the first time I've ever commented. Been a fan of gmm for 2 yrs. Gotta say this is one of the most honest sweet videos I've ever seen you make. Passion in creators is the best! Rhett lots of people are dumb. I love how opinionated you are. Also Link I feel like you are in your element right now, asking the questions, guiding the convo. Pod casts work for you guys. tbh I listen to you before i fall asleep. The sweet nature of the two of you helps me a lot. Much love, your fan Brittany
What people are complaining about is like saying speakers shouldn't practice their speech before going out on stage, we should see the "real them", unscripted. That would be horrible! They'd be a nervous, stuttering, unprepared wreck trying to fumble their way through their speech. Preparing for something makes it more entertaining, more concise, and more to the point of everything it should be. You want to go to a concert where a band has never practiced together before? That would be ridiculous. The argument that a practiced 'band' is inauthentic doesn't hold up. The argument that you guys are being 'inauthentic' because you prepare for the show also doesn't hold up. You guys just keep doing what you're doing, and my wife and I will keep watching -- you guys are getting better and better!
As a addition to what link is talking about at around 33:33 , one of my favorite parts of the show is the fact that each episode shifts between different types of comedy. It's a morning show first but mixed in it has aspects of challenges, top5s, lists, Special guests and events. Each time touching another funny bone, And that's only some of the mythicality.
It truly feels like a twilight zone type show for comedy. Running themes and gags. But situations, characters, crew, and daily themed videos are all within a canon.
Going through so much Rhett and Link through this quarantine for the first time. This is my favorite ear biscuits, it's really raw and makes me love them both so much more. They are amazing at what they do and my favorite comedy duo by far!
I'm 33 years old and you guys are the best thing since Rocky & Troy and Bob & Tom. You all at the set and ANY writers that have anything to do with GGM(X2), deserve way more credit than you get. Comedians such as Mitch Hedberg and Tim Wilson would love Rhett & Link. Keep up the good work guys! (The people talking shit are probably the same people that still don't realize that Larry The Cable Guy has always been a character.)
Rhett! You bring so much to the show!! You're my favorite character, always have been, and I couldn't imagine this show without either you or Link! Please don't feel like you don't bring anything to the table that people like. You are definitely loved. ❤️💕
This was not just my first Rhett and Link Podcast i listened to, but my first Podcast. And I am pleasantly surprised by how intelligently you were about the topic! Very glad to see/hear that you are both good and smart people outside of the 'characters' you play on GMM :)
I watch you guys every day (GMM, GMMore, LTAT, and Ear Biscuits) and it still hasn’t gotten old to me. I think you guys should continue doing what you’re doing and not worry about the 1% that complains about certain aspects of your shows.
This was awesome. Great episode! Bee tee dubs, I love the balance that you guys strike between planned jokes and spontaneous content on GMM. It mixes very naturally and I feel like I can successfully differentiate between those moments, but also not even notice it.
48:30 I don't know Link... I think that was honestly quite a good answer. I mean, I know that you guys sort of heighten those aspects for comedic purposes, but it definitely translates in the show
I think everything about GMM just works, the roles you take on, whether it's planned or not, whether link is the butt of the joke, the characters who make appearances, the humour of all forms. I get it all and it's what makes GMM so damn good. You are both geniuses!!
Rhett, I can relate to your personality traits and style of humor. We all appreciate you, even the soft bois and girls who JUST. CANT. HANDLE. THE. INTENSITY. All love, you both have one of the most successful UA-cam shows and brands because of what you BOTH bring to the table. Thank you both from a self-proclaimed mythical beast.
"I like to think about you when I buy hammers"- Cotton Candy Randy with one of the most iconic GMM lines... I'm with Rhett the more people disike him the more I love that character. It's not that deep.
1st. The Rhett and Link comedy act grazes over so many levels of comedy. Keep doing what you are doing boys. 2nd. Viewers and commenters, just enjoy what these two guys have done to all the mythical beasts lifes. They give me a reason to be excited to wake up Monday-Friday.
Good insights man, more people should be in contact with their ''true'' personalities in stead of conforming to their environment. You guys are blessed with finding a way to do that and make a living while doing it. Truly inspirational!
1. Cotton candy Randy is great.. 2. I love y’alls humor no matter what platform. 3. Ear Biscuits in particular is my favorite. I love how casual it it and it’s still so entertaining. I’ve listened to several episodes multiple times. I listen almost everyday. It helps me so much, especially before getting on a plane and during the fight. Anytime I’m feeling anxious I listen to Ear Biscuits or watch an (or several) episode of GMM. Y’all are great, keep doing what you’re doing. Thank you for doing it.
What if THIS is the larp,,, like GMM is the real R&L and this is an elaborate bit where they play 3-dimensional entertainers and family men when they're really testicle-scarfing, whiffle bat wielding UA-cam funnymans
You guys come off as best friends having a good time but can also tell eachother how it is, other people just read it wrong. You guys are hilarious and cotton candy randy just brings another layer of fun to the show!
I never perceived Rhett as mean and link as stupid I kinda just saw it as a best friends comedy show and true best friends can rob each other the way you do my husband and my best friend have both been in my life for 27 years so I dont have to even think about it I just recognize that and it's one of the reasons I love the show, definitely better than waking up to watch the news ANY DAY
I love when you play your characters or be your genuine selves. I love all your works! I’m Glad to enjoy things like the commercials from the past and future bits or videos.
Loved this episode of Ear Biscuits. Made me think of how great it would be to see you two on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee chatting about stuff like this. I'm a big fan of all the content you guys put out (Cotton Candy Randy and Commercials included) and appreciate your commitment to creatively challenging yourself - while at the same time also recognizing where your strengths are and consistently highlighting them. Keep on being your Mythical best :)
Link, Rhett does come across as cocky... he’s right, but you’re right about the "mean" side too. I love Ear Biscuits because it’s so genuine and your personalities come out!
Rhett is not mean LOL. At all. He's sarcastic and witty in his own way. I appreciate and relate more to Rhett's sense of humour than Link's (and this is coming from someone who likes Link as well). But IRL, Link's high energy goofiness would probably burn me out real quick.
I do think Rhett is really funny, especially his wittiness, but sometimes his cockiness does annoy me. I personally just don’t think it’s a great character trope unless it’s done well. For me I think Link’s cockiness/ big ego works well because he often doesn’t win so it’s ironic, however there are times when Rhett’s cockiness works and isn’t too predictable
For me the last 30 minutes of EB is true therapy, it always makes me think of what I should do in MY life and how I should act in my day to day interactions, sure it’s not funny but for me the fact that it goes from me laughing to me thinking makes the experience ten time better. The same goes for GMM itself, I often watch your videos just to feel better when I’m down and that helps me detach myself from my stress and just live for the moment.
This is easily my favorite episode of Ear Biscuits. You two are so genuinely funny and insightful, and they both really came through on this episode. I love watching and listening to you both, and I look forward to the next episodes of GMM, LTAT, and Ear Biscuits! P.S. Cotton Candy Randy is awesome and I love his character!
I really applaud you both for being vulnerable enough about your own personalities to make this episode. Also please keep making your own creative decisions. Don't rely on us comment-ers too much. You are the artists after all;)
I feel personally attacked because I freaking LOVE the commercials and the music videos. I can find no wrong with R&L. These guys are literally the purest. Can't wait to see you in VEGAS!!!
Thank you for this show. It’s so often thought-provoking and always entertaining. I use it as a treat to myself to get through chores I don’t want to do. And I’m always a bit sad when they are over. I look forward to many more episodes.
I love Ear Biscuits and hope this show has a long future. UA-cam is so fascinating to me; how viewers develop legitimate feelings of caring for a character(s) similar to a fan's relationship to a celebrity. But unlike the typical fan/celebrity dynamic UA-cam allows people to voice their feelings to their subjects in ways that only close friends or family would communicate. Anyway, good content! Thank you!
My husband and I ate at a japanese restaurant while on our honeymoon. Our wedding day is around mother's day. So when we got into the restaurant, obviously dressed up, the hostess told me "happy mother's day". I responded, "oh thank you. But I'm not a mother. We actually got married yesterday". She then told me "oh, happy ladies day!" in her adorable accent. Fast forward 2 years, we decided to go back on our anniversary and the same lady greeted us and said, "happy anniversary!". It was nuts. A few years later on a day beside our anniversary, we went back. We brought a friend of my husband and I's. This friend is a bit overweight. When we walked in the hostess said, "oh you're back! And you bring friend. You bring BIG friend." Lol. She's my favorite person. Lol
I love the intense, conscious examination of what makes you tick, your motives etc. I don't find a lot of people who think deeply like that. I follow a bunch of channels/podcasts etc, but I usually get bored for a while. Not with Ear Biscuits! Some people have a difficult time with humour that is "mean" because they have been raised in a household or spent a lot of time with people who make digs, then say they're joking, but they keep doing it because they really are getting get done sadistic pleasure out of it... and it happens so often they begin to doubt they can even tell the difference... It turns any "mean joke" into something that leaves them confused because they don't know how serious or not the jokes are, and have difficulty recognizing the line between the two.
I loved those local comertials. Had me rolling. I think you guys are awesome. You seem so genuine even when you are being funny. I love your jokes ans comedy...honestly your videos havw gotten my family thru some pretty hard times. Having that daily laugh made our days brighter and gave us something to loom forward to on days when we felt like nothing was worth the effort. As a family we pray for you and your company often. Weather your being your real selves or playing a charater we truly love and appreciate your comedy and your realness. Your willingless to be so open with your fans makes you so endearing and thats why you two are my favroite entertainers of all time. Btw your april fools video was gold!! My kids totally belived it it took me at least 10.minutes to convince them it wasnt real.
I just love these two. Like honestly EVERYTHING they do makes me smile. If its genuine moments or planned bits it just makes me happy. I love these goof balls.
40:00 link I think you have it all wrong I think what you're not realizing is your son didn't understand why you would act a fool because he sees you as a hero it's not that he didn't think you were not smart in any way it's that he thought you were very intelligent and couldn't understand why you didn't intelligent.
I started watching you guys because of your local commercials! I moved to GMM, GMMore and Ear Biscuits because of them. They were(and still are) amazing!
Y'all have to realize that the people who don't get it are A.) Probably 12 and B.) Probably not the brightest. Also, how can anyone not freaking LOVE the local commercials? They were genius!
Hey guys, I’m twenty two, and I’ve been watching the show for years. I really appreciate all the hard work y’all put in, thanks for the entertainment!!
If you don't appreciate the comedic value and work from these guys and understand that they are performers when you are watching you shouldn't be watching..seriously
Loooooved the local commercials and miss old school Rhett and Link. Love ear biscuits. Glad I found GMM. Hope to see more commercials in the future. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
"I am not stupid ,I suspend my intelligence" gold moment
there's no way a stupid person could think that up
@@audih0e I feel like he is a person that his mind works all the time...
Hes just an intelligent goofball
it takes a whole new meaning after this podcast
I quote this all the time in my real life & completely forgot where it came from until now rewatching this 4 yrs later lmao
I ABSOLUTELY dig Link's persona on the show. His ridiculousness is what gets me regularly bent over laughing. His physical comedy is a gift.
Same. It takes such confidence to put forth a persona like that.
I love lamp
Hands down, one of the best Earbiscuits for me. I could've listened to another hour of this.
mindy chung same, it’s like I’m picking through their brains and thought process in this one
agreed!

vaby lala I taught for 29 years and I believe as you do about wittiness. I have told parents that in fact. Wittiness is an indication of intelligence.
I appreciate it and do see the intelligence behind it.

I haven't watched all of them, but my favorite so far is the Butt Drugs one😂😂😂
I'm glad this conversation was had. I appreciate cotton candy randy and the duality of both the realness and the bits. it keeps the show fresh in my opinion.
Complete agree!
I LOVE CCR!! Omg he is my favourite! Jordan is the best!
Exactly.
CCR needs to go. He's painfully played out.
Jordan's personality annoys me. There's nothing interesting about it. He just tries to make you laugh.
It's kinda sad that you feel you have to limit your creative outlet because a significant number of your supporters don't get/like your humor.
Exactly. Some fans are either too young to get it or are stupid.

I don't hate the actually guy who plays randy but I'm not a fan of the character. It makes me feel weird.
Well said. 👍🏻
Rhett is the kind of person I'd be friends with IRL. He's witty, funny, sarcastic, introspective, sardonic, calm, collected, and interpersonally effective. I see him being the popular guy in the room that everyone likes, because he's so cool and laidback.
Link is silly and goofy. He's also very intelligent. He's a planner, and seems a lot more organized and calculated IRL than Rhett. He cleans and organizes for fun, for God's sake! He's probably more anxious and uptight IRL than Rhett. So, I love the both. They remind me of different tidbits of myself.
Very well written, I feel the same way about these two weirdos :-)
Rhett is sarcastic and sardonic, not “mean”...and a lot of ppl interpret that verbiage personally! In most cases, ppl with these characteristics are usually extremely sensitive, intelligent, introverted, introspective and caring. It’s a defense mechanism, and I get it! ❤️👍
I do find Rhett very smart and logical. True.
Spot on.
Yeah, not everyone can be all sunshine and giggles all the time.
look at this armchair psychologist guys amirite
Pele Simone everyone can be an arsehole.

He doesn't deny it when he messes up but he also moves past stuff like that so quickly and it not only makes him fun to watch, but it also shows strong qualities in general as a human being.
Master Shadow He helps make things seem normal and more human! He may be clumsy, but, so am I? He owns it, so should I! He knows he messes up and acts silly and I love that about him!! He doesn’t try to seem better than everyone else or like he is perfect and can’t make mistakes. He is real. Man, I just love both of them so much! I feel I am connected to them way too much just because I pretty much grew up watching them. Age 11-18. 100% will always be my favorite youtubers of all time.
@@anabelle3179
Man, Mine too. Both of them are definitely great. I pretty much grew up with them too haha. From like 12 (ish) to 21. First thing I ever saw that they did was the T-shirt War video and I have always loved their content ever since.
Also as a side note, I love your profile picture :) I was literally just googling that show like 3 hours ago.
Master Shadow I know, it was the first anime I ever watched and started my anime Obsession lol! Its so good
People do know what Link has a degree in Industrial Engineering and that he worked for IBM right? Both of the guys have engineering degrees and are incredibly intelligent. How someone could think was dumb is beyond me lol
Matthew S Link’s clumsy and for some reason people think that means he’s stupid
@@quirkyblackenby I've been clumsy most of my life and I look young. It is a regular struggle to be taken seriously because I trip over things and I look younger than the level of responsibility I have.
Matthew S Link is super intelligent. However he does have some pretty blonde moments.. remember the whole “my cup of tea” thing? That plus the clumsiness.
he is extremely intelligent and articulate, so is Rhett, Link is just quirky
I think Link reads as an Engineering stereotype of full of knowledge but lacks common sense.
Been a mythical beast since 2013, and this hour+ conversation is one of my favorite pieces of content you've made. As someone who routinely analyzes your content just as a hobby (not through commenting online, I just mean in my head throughout the day) hearing a candid conversation about the patterns in GMM was not only insightful, but also rewarding! Just the other day I was thinking about why Rhett is always the one who hosts the information segments, I find things like that fascinating. I met you guys at a meet and greet at Vidcon Amsterdam in 2017 (I was the crier from Wisconsin, though you probably don't remember) and between that and attending your Q&A, it actually made me realize a lot of the things that you talked about in this podcast, namely the differences in your GMM personas and how you act in person. But those differences didn't really take away any of the magic for me, it just helped give me a more nuanced view of GMM. This is a topic that I find myself thinking about often, and I honestly could go on and on about! So to hear you two discuss it was a lot of fun. I actually never comment on your videos despite how much I think about them, but I felt compelled to comment on this one since I think Rhett is right; people who enjoy things usually don't say as much compared to when people dislike something. So I just wanted to say, I am here and I loved this! I appreciated it, and will continue to ponder it...
Not enough sarcastic cynics in the world to appreciate your comedy style. Rhett analyzes, and Link reacts. That's why they work so well together.
I love them both.
Oh wow that’s exactly it.
#EarBiscuits I understand the frustration. I'm repeatedly frustrated by GMM viewers who take things *so* seriously or misunderstand things. It drives me crazy. Unfortunately I think the people who GET it and appreciate your humor aren't necessarily going to comment or tweet at you guys - it's the people who get offended or confused that will speak up.
Zoe's Zoo so true. Sometimes I feel bad for Link and feel like commenting about it, but I understand the process
“Vocal minority”
You guys have so much artistic integrity. I appreciate your work and listening to your discussions.
"It's not that I'm stupid. It's that I can suspend my intelligence." I LOVE this quote lol.
It always seemed to me that when people complain about the show, it’s because of something that ruins their fantasy that Rhett and Link are two guys just hanging out for fun rather than two comedians making an entertaining show with a lot of thought in it.
Side note- the prank I hated the most on Link was when they made him eat human hair in chocolate. I wanted to cry for him it was so gross 😅
Fox Bear but ir was funny
Fox Bear what ep was that prank
Sky M Taco Bell chocolates taste test. It was a Good Mythical More. It had Cotton Candy Randy in it xD
You have to remember the age of most of your audience. As someone closer to your age I think you both are brilliantly amazing! Please don’t let negativity affect what you do.
Man, I love these guys. It's refreshing to hear such honest, intelligent conversation.
If you like honest, intelligent, and long conversations then you should watch the joe rogan podcast
I love the line, "the thing that attracts them to the show is the heart and soul of the show, and its our true selves coming through." The authentic moments of pure fun and joy are what takes GMM to the next level. Even though I think the majority of your older and more mature audience members who can tell when you are exaggerating your reactions or making other artistic choices really like that about it too! It is obvious that a lot of love is poured into your show. God bless you :D
I really appreciate your openness. I think we tend to forget that y'all have a public self and private self because it feels like we really know you. The format of your content makes you feel more accessible than old media format. It is important for you to keep that to yourself and your family. Thank you for sharing what you do share!
fascinating ear biscuits, guys. i love the 'inside baseball' talk. i find it odd that there really are people out there that actually think that what you guys do in certain situations is 'real', and vice versa i guess, but i hope you can not let those types of people/comments get you down. you both bring amazing things to the table, and without *either* of you, things just wouldn't be the same!
love and respect!
Wow. I must say it's nice to see a different side of you both. I recently found your channel and have already watched hundreds of videos and amazed I didn't find you sooner. It's refreshing to see this side and its interesting to see the thoughts and hear about the work that goes into all of this in the background. Seems like this is not only a good, secondary angle for us to see but a good tool for you guys to vent and let it app hang out a little. I appreciate all of the work you guys put into this. Oh btw, im already part of your mythical discord :) see you there! Keep up the good work guys
I don’t think anyone could watch/listen to an ear biscuit and not realise how intelligent you both are. I loved this episode! I love how self-aware you guys are. You guys are able to see where your weaknesses and your strengths are and you are both working on changing the negatives out and bringing the positives in more. Not many people are able to do that. Rhett you have made me realise that my husband is almost certainly a three. I love ear biscuits just for the more serious and in depth conversations, giving me the illusion of being the ‘third person in the bath’ 😅
I love you, Rhett. I love your humour, personality and what you bring to GMM and everything Mythical. R&L literally wouldn’t be the same without you. You’re irreplaceable and more fans adore you than you realise 💖
I love GMM, because it has the perfect balance of "being yourself" and written/planned comedy. You guys are doing perfect, keep up the great work !
I love that they very well know who kiki (youresoloud) is at this point. Queen of compilations
"It's not that I'm stupid, it's that I can suspend my intelligence."
Put that on a T-Shirt.
31:30 I watched the Colbert Report religiously and think Cotton Candy Randy is amazing. So you may be onto something haha
Honestly one of my favorite Ear Biscuits. Thank you, Rhett & Link. ❤
An hour and a quarter of brilliant footage with no ads and no boring parts. This was actually my first time listening to Ear Biscuits, but I’ll be sure to subscribe.
I didn't like Randy until I saw Jordan getting along so well with both of you and I could separate the character from the person.
He was on fire in that presidents' favourite food episode
For me, I get the jokes immediately. I didnt need to separate the actor from the character. I just dont like Randy's comedy
Are you talking about cotton candy randy? I hate that guy
@@andremaines pfft
@@rekijorve791 he's obviously a "love it or hate it" character so respect other's preferences, perhaps?
The love and friendship between Rhett and Link is a wonderful thing, that's what makes GMM one of my favourite TV shows ever. You guys are truly awesome. I'm a long time viewer but this is my first comment on your videos, I just thought I should say I appreciate your work, and the sense of genuine fun that always shines through it all. Keep doing what you're doing, I'll keep watching, and I have no doubt it'll keep brightening my days. :)
Ive watched rhett and link since they first started creating content and this was the best ear biscuits so far, really in depth and raw. Thanks for creating the content guys glad its blown up into what it is with all the hard work and I will continue to buy merch and watch every video
This is the first Ear Biscuits I’ve ever listened to. I really enjoyed the “behind the scenes” look at your process! Thanks for all you guys do, you never fail to put a smile on my face!
Also, I love Cottoncandy Randy and Damnyell! They may be my favorite parts of the show.
This is my all time favourite episode of Ear Biscuits. I feel honoured with the level of honesty and vulnerability you both show throughout. Wow, guys! Just. Wow. 👏👏👏👏
Sunday morning video Ear Biscuit, I look forward to it every week!
I'd say Link gets caught in his persona. Method actor.
Hey guys, this is the first time I've ever commented. Been a fan of gmm for 2 yrs. Gotta say this is one of the most honest sweet videos I've ever seen you make. Passion in creators is the best! Rhett lots of people are dumb. I love how opinionated you are. Also Link I feel like you are in your element right now, asking the questions, guiding the convo. Pod casts work for you guys. tbh I listen to you before i fall asleep. The sweet nature of the two of you helps me a lot. Much love, your fan Brittany
What people are complaining about is like saying speakers shouldn't practice their speech before going out on stage, we should see the "real them", unscripted. That would be horrible! They'd be a nervous, stuttering, unprepared wreck trying to fumble their way through their speech. Preparing for something makes it more entertaining, more concise, and more to the point of everything it should be.
You want to go to a concert where a band has never practiced together before? That would be ridiculous. The argument that a practiced 'band' is inauthentic doesn't hold up. The argument that you guys are being 'inauthentic' because you prepare for the show also doesn't hold up. You guys just keep doing what you're doing, and my wife and I will keep watching -- you guys are getting better and better!
Awwee i love how you've come to a conclusion at the end. That you're your true selves on the show... we love self reflection. Thank you for this 😊
As a addition to what link is talking about at around 33:33 , one of my favorite parts of the show is the fact that each episode shifts between different types of comedy. It's a morning show first but mixed in it has aspects of challenges, top5s, lists, Special guests and events. Each time touching another funny bone, And that's only some of the mythicality.
It truly feels like a twilight zone type show for comedy. Running themes and gags. But situations, characters, crew, and daily themed videos are all within a canon.
Going through so much Rhett and Link through this quarantine for the first time. This is my favorite ear biscuits, it's really raw and makes me love them both so much more. They are amazing at what they do and my favorite comedy duo by far!
I'm 33 years old and you guys are the best thing since Rocky & Troy and Bob & Tom. You all at the set and ANY writers that have anything to do with GGM(X2), deserve way more credit than you get. Comedians such as Mitch Hedberg and Tim Wilson would love Rhett & Link. Keep up the good work guys!
(The people talking shit are probably the same people that still don't realize that Larry The Cable Guy has always been a character.)
Rhett! You bring so much to the show!! You're my favorite character, always have been, and I couldn't imagine this show without either you or Link! Please don't feel like you don't bring anything to the table that people like. You are definitely loved. ❤️💕
This is an incredibly powerful dialogue.
This was not just my first Rhett and Link Podcast i listened to, but my first Podcast. And I am pleasantly surprised by how intelligently you were about the topic! Very glad to see/hear that you are both good and smart people outside of the 'characters' you play on GMM :)
I’ve always been warmer towards genuine Rhett and Link (e.g. the old gmm episodes) but their comedy is soooooo funny!
I watch you guys every day (GMM, GMMore, LTAT, and Ear Biscuits) and it still hasn’t gotten old to me. I think you guys should continue doing what you’re doing and not worry about the 1% that complains about certain aspects of your shows.
I love Rhett's conspiracy theory videos
Hellloooooo! Lol
This was awesome. Great episode! Bee tee dubs, I love the balance that you guys strike between planned jokes and spontaneous content on GMM. It mixes very naturally and I feel like I can successfully differentiate between those moments, but also not even notice it.
48:30 I don't know Link... I think that was honestly quite a good answer. I mean, I know that you guys sort of heighten those aspects for comedic purposes, but it definitely translates in the show
I think everything about GMM just works, the roles you take on, whether it's planned or not, whether link is the butt of the joke, the characters who make appearances, the humour of all forms. I get it all and it's what makes GMM so damn good. You are both geniuses!!
I love cotton candy Randy . Kinda wish he'd show up on tour. Lol 😁
I was hoping I’d see him on tour 😂
Rhett, I can relate to your personality traits and style of humor. We all appreciate you, even the soft bois and girls who JUST. CANT. HANDLE. THE. INTENSITY. All love, you both have one of the most successful UA-cam shows and brands because of what you BOTH bring to the table. Thank you both from a self-proclaimed mythical beast.
"I like to think about you when I buy hammers"- Cotton Candy Randy with one of the most iconic GMM lines... I'm with Rhett the more people disike him the more I love that character. It's not that deep.
1st. The Rhett and Link comedy act grazes over so many levels of comedy. Keep doing what you are doing boys. 2nd. Viewers and commenters, just enjoy what these two guys have done to all the mythical beasts lifes. They give me a reason to be excited to wake up Monday-Friday.
Good insights man, more people should be in contact with their ''true'' personalities in stead of conforming to their environment. You guys are blessed with finding a way to do that and make a living while doing it. Truly inspirational!
1. Cotton candy Randy is great..
2. I love y’alls humor no matter what platform.
3. Ear Biscuits in particular is my favorite. I love how casual it it and it’s still so entertaining. I’ve listened to several episodes multiple times. I listen almost everyday. It helps me so much, especially before getting on a plane and during the fight. Anytime I’m feeling anxious I listen to Ear Biscuits or watch an (or several) episode of GMM. Y’all are great, keep doing what you’re doing. Thank you for doing it.
GMM: twisted versions of Rhett and Link.
Ear Biscuits: the real Rhett and Link.
Easy like that. I like both dynamics.
What if THIS is the larp,,, like GMM is the real R&L and this is an elaborate bit where they play 3-dimensional entertainers and family men when they're really testicle-scarfing, whiffle bat wielding UA-cam funnymans
After going back & listening to old Ear Biscuits I gotta say the longer intro definitely adds something to the show. It feels calmer even. Love it
Really great Ear Biscuits. Rhett and Link breaking the kayfabe on GMM. This must be their version of "The Curtain Call".
You guys come off as best friends having a good time but can also tell eachother how it is, other people just read it wrong. You guys are hilarious and cotton candy randy just brings another layer of fun to the show!
I never perceived Rhett as mean and link as stupid I kinda just saw it as a best friends comedy show and true best friends can rob each other the way you do my husband and my best friend have both been in my life for 27 years so I dont have to even think about it I just recognize that and it's one of the reasons I love the show, definitely better than waking up to watch the news ANY DAY
I love when you play your characters or be your genuine selves. I love all your works! I’m Glad to enjoy things like the commercials from the past and future bits or videos.
That was great podcast. It was third earbiscuit I saw and now I just can't imagine sunday without it. Don't stop and make more awesome videos.
Loved this episode of Ear Biscuits. Made me think of how great it would be to see you two on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee chatting about stuff like this. I'm a big fan of all the content you guys put out (Cotton Candy Randy and Commercials included) and appreciate your commitment to creatively challenging yourself - while at the same time also recognizing where your strengths are and consistently highlighting them. Keep on being your Mythical best :)
"Suspension of intelligence" is such a genius way of saying "absent minded"
Sending positive vibes. I love where in the worlds! I get so excited when you film one my entire household laughs at my excitement.
Link, Rhett does come across as cocky... he’s right, but you’re right about the "mean" side too.
I love Ear Biscuits because it’s so genuine and your personalities come out!
Rhett is not mean LOL. At all. He's sarcastic and witty in his own way. I appreciate and relate more to Rhett's sense of humour than Link's (and this is coming from someone who likes Link as well). But IRL, Link's high energy goofiness would probably burn me out real quick.
I'm not saying he is actually mean, just that it can come across that way, like they were talking about in the podcast.
I do think Rhett is really funny, especially his wittiness, but sometimes his cockiness does annoy me. I personally just don’t think it’s a great character trope unless it’s done well. For me I think Link’s cockiness/ big ego works well because he often doesn’t win so it’s ironic, however there are times when Rhett’s cockiness works and isn’t too predictable
For me the last 30 minutes of EB is true therapy, it always makes me think of what I should do in MY life and how I should act in my day to day interactions, sure it’s not funny but for me the fact that it goes from me laughing to me thinking makes the experience ten time better.
The same goes for GMM itself, I often watch your videos just to feel better when I’m down and that helps me detach myself from my stress and just live for the moment.
This is easily my favorite episode of Ear Biscuits. You two are so genuinely funny and insightful, and they both really came through on this episode. I love watching and listening to you both, and I look forward to the next episodes of GMM, LTAT, and Ear Biscuits! P.S. Cotton Candy Randy is awesome and I love his character!
In the years watching all of the different ways you have explored your creativity and comedy, there has been growth and insight. Thanks, guys.
I can totally relate to Rhett. It's sooo frustrating when people can't take a joke, or don't even get it 🙄
I really applaud you both for being vulnerable enough about your own personalities to make this episode. Also please keep making your own creative decisions. Don't rely on us comment-ers too much. You are the artists after all;)
As a faithful listener and one that typically doesn't engage online, I think Rhett nailed it at 1:14:00.
I feel personally attacked because I freaking LOVE the commercials and the music videos. I can find no wrong with R&L. These guys are literally the purest. Can't wait to see you in VEGAS!!!
“The weird hippie stuff, with the man bun and stuff”
Now has an actual man bun a lot of the time😂😂😂
Thank you for this show. It’s so often thought-provoking and always entertaining. I use it as a treat to myself to get through chores I don’t want to do. And I’m always a bit sad when they are over. I look forward to many more episodes.
People who don't understand your joking around with each other probably haven't had a best friend for a long time like you guys.
I love Ear Biscuits and hope this show has a long future. UA-cam is so fascinating to me; how viewers develop legitimate feelings of caring for a character(s) similar to a fan's relationship to a celebrity. But unlike the typical fan/celebrity dynamic UA-cam allows people to voice their feelings to their subjects in ways that only close friends or family would communicate. Anyway, good content! Thank you!
I love the characters you've created and the characters you are!
My husband and I ate at a japanese restaurant while on our honeymoon. Our wedding day is around mother's day. So when we got into the restaurant, obviously dressed up, the hostess told me "happy mother's day". I responded, "oh thank you. But I'm not a mother. We actually got married yesterday". She then told me "oh, happy ladies day!" in her adorable accent. Fast forward 2 years, we decided to go back on our anniversary and the same lady greeted us and said, "happy anniversary!". It was nuts. A few years later on a day beside our anniversary, we went back. We brought a friend of my husband and I's. This friend is a bit overweight. When we walked in the hostess said, "oh you're back! And you bring friend. You bring BIG friend." Lol. She's my favorite person. Lol
*Very interesting story! BIG FRIEND, lol!*
Really adored this episode! Something I've always wondered about :)
I love the intense, conscious examination of what makes you tick, your motives etc. I don't find a lot of people who think deeply like that. I follow a bunch of channels/podcasts etc, but I usually get bored for a while. Not with Ear Biscuits!
Some people have a difficult time with humour that is "mean" because they have been raised in a household or spent a lot of time with people who make digs, then say they're joking, but they keep doing it because they really are getting get done sadistic pleasure out of it... and it happens so often they begin to doubt they can even tell the difference... It turns any "mean joke" into something that leaves them confused because they don't know how serious or not the jokes are, and have difficulty recognizing the line between the two.
The local commercials were GREAT. Butt Drugs. Red House. $2 haircuts. Legit so great 💙💚
I loved those local comertials. Had me rolling. I think you guys are awesome. You seem so genuine even when you are being funny. I love your jokes ans comedy...honestly your videos havw gotten my family thru some pretty hard times. Having that daily laugh made our days brighter and gave us something to loom forward to on days when we felt like nothing was worth the effort. As a family we pray for you and your company often. Weather your being your real selves or playing a charater we truly love and appreciate your comedy and your realness. Your willingless to be so open with your fans makes you so endearing and thats why you two are my favroite entertainers of all time.
Btw your april fools video was gold!! My kids totally belived it it took me at least 10.minutes to convince them it wasnt real.
I came here for the mentioning of youresoloud at 43:17.
Same
Same, I was so proud of them!
Same!
Same
I just love these two. Like honestly EVERYTHING they do makes me smile. If its genuine moments or planned bits it just makes me happy. I love these goof balls.
40:00 link I think you have it all wrong I think what you're not realizing is your son didn't understand why you would act a fool because he sees you as a hero it's not that he didn't think you were not smart in any way it's that he thought you were very intelligent and couldn't understand why you didn't intelligent.
I started watching you guys because of your local commercials! I moved to GMM, GMMore and Ear Biscuits because of them. They were(and still are) amazing!
Jordan is one of the most genuinely natural funny people ever. He’s my favorite crew member to watch.
This is the first earbiscuit I’ve actually seen and this is amazing you guys are so honest and real
Y'all have to realize that the people who don't get it are A.) Probably 12 and B.) Probably not the brightest. Also, how can anyone not freaking LOVE the local commercials? They were genius!
Preach 🙌
Hey guys, I’m twenty two, and I’ve been watching the show for years. I really appreciate all the hard work y’all put in, thanks for the entertainment!!
Randy (Jordan) is seriously funny and always love seeing him on GMM
This conversation was really beautiful and necessary. Thank you for sharing it.
If you don't appreciate the comedic value and work from these guys and understand that they are performers when you are watching you shouldn't be watching..seriously
Loooooved the local commercials and miss old school Rhett and Link. Love ear biscuits. Glad I found GMM. Hope to see more commercials in the future. 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
