The first and last words of this weeks Ear Biscuts were the best! -The first minute, Links mispoken intro "Welcome to Ear Biscuts The LIFE LONG Podcast where...." [Bursts of laughter from both] -The last minute Rhett says, "once a week, let us be a part of your life, well, pretty much every day, there's this 'other' show- every day, there's a lot of content. " "Let's us take over your life" (Link)
I'm so glad they mentioned the thing about people anticipating social anxiety after not being in crowds for so long, I've always had social anxiety and exposure was a big part of a process I was working on to get out of it. I'm so used to barely seeing people at all now, and when I do see them I have a mask on so it's like I get to hide a little bit, so I'm a little worried about what it will be like when things are back to normal, but anyone out there who feels the same way, were in it together and it's not just you!
Also I think a lot of people that didn't have social anxiety, will once/if the masks are gone. As someone with social anxiety, when the masks go I will definitely have a harder time than initially.
Break that habit, how will hiding strengthen who you really are, im totally introverted and socially awkward but its easy to see how this changes people, do it responsibly but don't use it as a crutch
On the treadmill watching. Came off to say: consult a stylist, Rhett. Someone who works with or has worked with tall men. This person would be able to point you in the direction of the right brands for you. Those that will fit your body the way you want. You could also figure out the proper size after shrinkage and get a seamstress to make t-shirts tailored exactly for you.
Similar to wearing the same thing every day, meal prepping or just deciding to eat the same thing every day is something that helps me stave off decision fatigue. Corresponding specific foods for specific days of the week works, too (ex. Taco Tuesday, fish Friday, sushi Saturday, etc)
This made me realize something about myself. At my job, I don't get to make any decisions. My wardrobe is large and diverse because I need the creative freedom that it provides me.
The "too many decisions" one reminded me of the continuity reset. There's a thing where people pack a suitcase with 100% unused items, go to a place they've never been before, and rent an apartment for just one month, not using any phone or internet, avoiding the news. It like totally resets your perception of your own life... and when you return, you're thinking about things you used to take for granted.
What if my goal is to become successful just so I can write a book on how to be successful? I debated whether or not I should develop an odd habit too.
Glad you brought up the anxiety about re-entering society at large. I’ve found a schedule that actually works for me and our family and I know that’s going away. Obligations to people based on social interaction went away during all this and I know that will come back. I haven’t gained the quarantine 15 but my health habits that I was able to establish I know are going to be challenged. On the bright side quarantine has given me the space to actually learn to love myself so maybe that change will supersede these other things that come with social interaction 🥸

Why I watch or listen to ear biscuits is because its good back ground noise and can help with little loneliness especially in covid times. Normally multi task while listening, like said cleaning/exercising/or playing video game that requires little attention. Main reason come back is conversations have reminds me of that one friend who asks a weird question. Most of time people think its stupid and ignore them but every so often get that question that peaks your interest. You guys are funny but fairly smart for youtube and talk about random topics that truthfully never really thought about myself. The good is that it makes me ponder and looking things up later that interest me. On other hand goes back to the weird friend that every once in awhile get that question that you just give friendly smile pretending to care but really not that interesting. Lucky for me it tends to be more of the former rather than the latetr.
Always make sure your clothes are washed only in cold water and tumbled dried on low heat. Heat is your enemy when you have certain body types and need clothes to stay in shape!
I listen to your podcast to go to sleep lmaoo not that it’s boring it’s just it something I can just listen to and not have to worry about staying up cuz I have to watch
Regarding getting novel ideas right before falling asleep: George Church, who is a famous geneticist, has narcolepsy and it is rumored that if you ask him an insightful question as he is falling asleep, he will snap out of falling asleep and wake up with the answer.
Great episode guys! And I was excited to hear the habits of two of my favourite successful people - YOU TWO! ❤️❤️ P.S. I believe that E. Tolle is unscientific positive thinking BS!!!
I absoltuely love saunas. One of the places I go for massage will give you an hour to use the sauna before and another hour after the massage, and it's the best thing ever. You almost need a designated driver to take you home after that.
Doing something where you can set your body on autopilot frees up your mind. In documentary film making there's this trick to get "regular" people to act natural in front of the camera, and it's to have your subject do something they do every day while they're being interviewed. That's why you see many scenes being filmed in kitchens when they do the dishes or something like that.
Rhett - If you're serious about starting a "Daily Uniform" I highly recommend a company called Pistol Lake. They're LA based and have been my go-to over the last few years. I have 8 of their long sleeve henleys (among many other articles of their clothing), in different colors, and they have been cycled through every day for the last 4 years and still feel new. No shrinkage, fit is amazing (athletic, but not super tight), and the color offerings are great. I'm 6' and about 155 lbs and they are long enough but not boxy or unflattering. I know your pain with the weird body type, so I think they are definitely worth a shot. Hope this helps you commit to the decision to pare down your wardrobe, because it's been one of the best things I've done for myself. Good luck!
37:20 immediately made me think of: “I think about that moment when I'm drifting off to sleep, And then my body jerks and I'm falling suddenly. I wonder if that's a defense mechanism for something, Like when you're sleeping on a cliff or just top-bunking.”
Links impossibly tight and ripped to shreds jeans he was wearing on a recent GMM episode is a perfect example of thier discussion around 32:00 about dressing closer to your age. I actually couldnt believe he was wearing them and thought maybe he accidentally put on his teenage daughters pants by accident that morning and then just went with it.
Also Rhett I feel the same way. I think you and I are probably the exact same size and I understand the sizing struggle for tall skinny guys. It's a weird problem to have
I moved cross country from CT to AZ when I was 9, almost 10, and I was NOT HAPPY!!!!! I was UPSET to be leaving all my friends!!! It was a permanent move. Took everything. We've lived in AZ 18 years now.
Link, you remembering your daughter's age and birthday from 10 years ago made my day. You should do a proper GMM sauna or Kneipp practices episode incl. eating and drinking advice. :) The floppy disc inventor was moments before passing out, not dying. The death part is a glorifying narrative. People like stories more than the truth.
51:30 It’s difficult for you to digest vegetables because your digestion is majoratively down to gut flora. it’s micro biome, and if you’ve fed your micro biome meat and dairy your entire life, a lot of this biome is bacteria that excels in breaking down those foods; Leaving less space for gut flora that excel in breaking down vegetables. Plenty of peer reviewed, meta analysis and various other studies out there that all but prove this....
Remember that episode where they talked about Link interrupting Rhett all the time? I thought about that a lot this episode.....Let Rhett finish what he is saying Link! Lol
Just a curious question got my gold patch in yesterday where would you put your patch at guys i already got my pin in my truck straight on the insurments panel???
Two ear biscuits are the perfect meal. Periodically paused to handle this or that, my 8 hour shuft flies. I dont watch the podcast at home anymore that way i run out slower
Rhett wanting to minimize meat mean while that's the only thing I crave other than chips. It's almost 1am for me and I can't stop thinking about how good meatballs sound😅
I'd think Rhett would just get a bunch of t-shirts made custom from a tailor. Of course it costs more, but he can definitely afford it so why not spend some extra money and solve the problem.
Am I crazy or did they already talk about their 10 year anniversary in another episode? I swear they talked about the kids reacting to the move but I can't find the video...
Rhett if your in the market for a notebook that you can use in the sauna I recommend a rite in the rain notepad. They are completely water proof and cheap at Walmart's or on amazon.
The reason you are cold is because you are from a warm climate. NC and CA don’t get cold. I’m from the Midwest and am rarely cold because I am used to it. I would never get in a sauna when I live in one in the summer.
The anecdote Rhett gives about Einstein seems to me more in like with Salvador Dali, who would hold a spoon above a plate and fall asleep, using the noise to wake him up to maintain a state between awareness and dreams
I don’t think they’ll give up social media. I think people might start losing interest, and they’ll eventually stop the shop, but they’ll keep in touch on social media.
Related to the part where it seems like you solved problem when you're doing something else unrelated, my therapist mentionned something about the "unconcious" part of the brain that is responsible for processing information as a possible reason. So while you're working on something consciously, you're on the input process of the brain and not the "processing" part. That's why it might seems like "solution" comes at the unexpected times like walking or even showering.i think there are some preliminary research on this.
Rhett, I was wondering how you found a stretch routine that helps your back pain. I have had chronic lower back pain for over 4 years. I had a spinal fusion surgery (like Links daughter) about 1 and a half years ago. I still have back pain but I had back pain from before the surgery and the doctors say that the pain is not related to the surgery. Any information you could give about your journey of solving your back pain would be great.
As a Finn, I'm not going to be upset Rhett didn't mention us when talking about saunas because I know we don't actually exist.
I was thinking the same thing. We love our saunas here in Finland.
People always forget us. Except for Russia. ;)
Finland is the Wyoming of Europe
There's a really weird, non existent comment that I'm replying to. Not even sure why I'm replying to this comment from someone who doesn't exist
You guys are just super awesome unicorns of Europe 🦄
You guys should make a shirt on the mythical store that perfectly fits Rhett and sell it as the “tall guy shirt”
If it was affordable premium I'd buy a few if they weren't cheesy. While he's at it come out with some tall guy hair care products
On the back of the WHO THE HECK ARE RHETT AND LINK? shirt should say
TALL GUYS
Yeah....why doesn’t he just custom fit his “perfect” shirt?
I always wanted an expensive night shirt.
i would definitely buy that!!!
I listen to your podcast to go to sleep cause even when you guys get hyped it’s still a calm energy LOL especially Rhett

Same honestly!!
I think wearing mask will be socially much more acceptable even when covid 19 is tamed down compared to what it was in pre-pandemic days.
Break that habit, how will hiding strengthen who you really are, im totally introverted and socially awkward but its easy to see how this changes people, do it responsibly but don't use it as a crutch
it's been over a year but how're you doing now? things have been opening up a ton recently
My goodness, baby Shepard saying he was going to go see his daddy with that sweet smile. Too much cuteness!
The life long podcast
Ive watched almost every podcast now just falling asleep to them
Me tooooo hahahha
Same bestie
Saaaame
Well yall probably do t hear .much of it
@@ticsbassplace I always remember where I fall asleep then tbe next night I'll come back to that spot. Repeate until you've heard it all lol
my dad buys a bunch of the same grey socks so he doesn’t have to sort them. he pulls any two socks from the drawer in the morning and they match!
A life long podcast where long friends listen for a friendly time.
On the treadmill watching. Came off to say: consult a stylist, Rhett. Someone who works with or has worked with tall men. This person would be able to point you in the direction of the right brands for you. Those that will fit your body the way you want. You could also figure out the proper size after shrinkage and get a seamstress to make t-shirts tailored exactly for you.

Imagine you're a North Carolina fan of Rhett and Link and this is your first step to discovering that they're actually your dads
My cousin is in South Carolina he lives in Myrtle Beach and I’m pretty sure he’s a big fan
Both of them are my dads?? lmao
When he said Jesse was sexy when she was sweaty. HUSBAND GoaLS
This made me realize something about myself. At my job, I don't get to make any decisions. My wardrobe is large and diverse because I need the creative freedom that it provides me.
Link is so adorable with the hood up on his hoodie.
Rhetts laugh at 9:28 about his son just shows so much adoration and pride he has in his boy! God blessem
The "too many decisions" one reminded me of the continuity reset. There's a thing where people pack a suitcase with 100% unused items, go to a place they've never been before, and rent an apartment for just one month, not using any phone or internet, avoiding the news.

Damn that actually sounds wonderful
What if my goal is to become successful just so I can write a book on how to be successful? I debated whether or not I should develop an odd habit too.
Lol. I always say im gonna write a book about something I am NOT an expert in but I swear I REALLY DO feel that way
Maybe think of a new thing?
Or, you could write about how to BECOME successful, a story about coming up in the world. A story about the writer kind of.
dude when rhett said "whats wrong with this guy" I LOST it
31:11 I can relate to that part. I'm not gonna walk around w matching jordans w my kids 😅😂🤣😂
I'm so glad y'all talked about Dr. Nakamats. I did a lesson about him with my Japanese students and he is a wild character xD
Glad you brought up the anxiety about re-entering society at large. I’ve found a schedule that actually works for me and our family and I know that’s going away. Obligations to people based on social interaction went away during all this and I know that will come back.

What is the time stamp?
Will ALWAYS LOVE the ear biscuits opening song!
Did you know there are lyrics? It’s the opening riff to their Christmas Sweatz song
It’s 4:00 and I can’t sleep, this video saved me
Hey, some day we need to meet those other kids you left in North Carolina haha.
Why I watch or listen to ear biscuits is because its good back ground noise and can help with little loneliness especially in covid times. Normally multi task while listening, like said cleaning/exercising/or playing video game that requires little attention.

Love you guys! 🙌🏽 I’m inspired to try something new every episode. Planning to try some sort of meditative practice every morning from now on 🙏🏽

If you made an ad podcast but talked about the creative process behind past and current merch designs I would listen
Nooo I wish we could see Link’s facial expression reaction at 22:22
50:43 ARE YOU GONNA TALK ABOUT POO POO 😂😂😂
Y'all can move back to NC and continue GMM. That's the joys of the internet.
9:32 rhett’s throwaway joke was so good LOL
Regarding getting novel ideas right before falling asleep: George Church, who is a famous geneticist, has narcolepsy and it is rumored that if you ask him an insightful question as he is falling asleep, he will snap out of falling asleep and wake up with the answer.
I've been in meetings with him when he nods off. I don't recall any brilliant answers from him when he awoke.

Oh that’s fascinating!
I used to want to be a Rockstar. Now I want to fade into obscurity.
Guys you've been a huge part of my life for 3 years now and I wouldn't have it any other way
Link "he wouldn't touch beans" Rhett "what is wrong with this guy?" So defensive 😂😂
Rhett - If you're serious about starting a "Daily Uniform" I highly recommend a company called Pistol Lake. They're LA based and have been my go-to over the last few years.

I can't believe you guys are almoat 50. That feels so crazy
Hello, and healthy & happy spring time!
I just came from Rhetts solo trip episode, and Link messing up the intro is what I live for now.
Links impossibly tight and ripped to shreds jeans he was wearing on a recent GMM episode is a perfect example of thier discussion around 32:00 about dressing closer to your age. I actually couldnt believe he was wearing them and thought maybe he accidentally put on his teenage daughters pants by accident that morning and then just went with it.
Also Rhett I feel the same way. I think you and I are probably the exact same size and I understand the sizing struggle for tall skinny guys. It's a weird problem to have
I would watch a whole hour of ads if link wore the purple hue hoodie on it
40:50 I am a songwriter and I can confirm I get my best song lyrics when I’m on a walk
Pythagoras didn't like beans as a mathematician because he was a bean counter not a bean eater.
This gives me 2014 GMM vibes and I love it
11:00 Teal like Neal.
I moved cross country from CT to AZ when I was 9, almost 10, and I was NOT HAPPY!!!!! I was UPSET to be leaving all my friends!!! It was a permanent move. Took everything. We've lived in AZ 18 years now.
Love you guys

Yes Happy Easter
They have underwater phone cases, Rhett you should check those out.
I watch this before bed so I can dream about making as much money as they do during this hour.
I’m about to adopt some new habits all of a sudden!
51:30
It’s difficult for you to digest vegetables because your digestion is majoratively down to gut flora.
it’s micro biome, and if you’ve fed your micro biome meat and dairy your entire life, a lot of this biome is bacteria that excels in breaking down those foods;

Plenty of peer reviewed, meta analysis and various other studies out there that all but prove this....
Now I can fall asleep in peace 😴😊
Glad I'm not alone using their podcast to sleep
Truth
Yes yes!
Is night in america?
anyways, sweet dreams if is night
So glad I have this while good mythical morning is on break.🤣
All the kids are super cute. Each one is as cute as the next.
Remember that episode where they talked about Link interrupting Rhett all the time? I thought about that a lot this episode.....Let Rhett finish what he is saying Link! Lol
Just a curious question got my gold patch in yesterday where would you put your patch at guys i already got my pin in my truck straight on the insurments panel???
Link sold that hoodie so well
It honestly was a master class of a performance
In the UA-cam void of dance tutorials and gaming.......there is Rhett and Link, keeping things weird for us sultans of the strange.
Link was correct about stress sweat
When the promo the sold out hoodie you have been eyeing
Two ear biscuits are the perfect meal. Periodically paused to handle this or that, my 8 hour shuft flies. I dont watch the podcast at home anymore that way i run out slower
Is no one else concerned that Rhett says he goes into a hot tub at 205 degrees?
sauna not hot tub!
Waterproof notebook and pencils exist and are dirt cheap. They write in nearly any condition.
You need a rock paper note pad!
The last stuff Rhett says is what I do every morning and night for my back as well.
Rhett wanting to minimize meat mean while that's the only thing I crave other than chips. It's almost 1am for me and I can't stop thinking about how good meatballs sound😅
I love you guys!
I'd think Rhett would just get a bunch of t-shirts made custom from a tailor. Of course it costs more, but he can definitely afford it so why not spend some extra money and solve the problem.
that's what I was going to say! That's what they're there for and I bet there are really good tailors in LA
Am I crazy or did they already talk about their 10 year anniversary in another episode? I swear they talked about the kids reacting to the move but I can't find the video...
They posted that clip earlier in the week on twitter. Maybe you saw it there?
Ya, I’ve developed a lot of social anxiety in the CA forever lockdown. I have no idea what to do when I have start going back into work or crowds.
Someone should tell the drowning guy about nangs/whippits lol
I listen to expand my knowledge and so yes I’d say I do lmao and cause I like you guys! I watch and listen depends day/ how busy lol
well shit here i am sweeping up after my dog who dumped out the entire trash can while simultaneously listening to ear biscuits
pytagorus used a god persona with others but farts ruins your god persona.
gods do not fart period.
Rhett if your in the market for a notebook that you can use in the sauna I recommend a rite in the rain notepad. They are completely water proof and cheap at Walmart's or on amazon.
I'm listening right now while cooking. Good subject
The reason you are cold is because you are from a warm climate. NC and CA don’t get cold. I’m from the Midwest and am rarely cold because I am used to it. I would never get in a sauna when I live in one in the summer.
Totally! I live where it gets down to -40 and up to 95 degrees, and humid. I’d never feel cold in CA.
Never heard of an underwater notebook, a field notebook would work well in a sauna
The anecdote Rhett gives about Einstein seems to me more in like with Salvador Dali, who would hold a spoon above a plate and fall asleep, using the noise to wake him up to maintain a state between awareness and dreams
I'm doing my nails and listening/watching at the same time and Ive just stopped to say that there's a shower notepad called shower notes
After 10 years, yall have definitely gone Hollyweird haha I won't knock it though, you guys are great
I wonder does Rhett and Link think about when they will end being on social media and what would make them give up?
I don’t think they’ll give up social media. I think people might start losing interest, and they’ll eventually stop the shop, but they’ll keep in touch on social media.
Related to the part where it seems like you solved problem when you're doing something else unrelated, my therapist mentionned something about the "unconcious" part of the brain that is responsible for processing information as a possible reason.

As two successful guys I do in fact want to listen to what makes successful people successful
Yoshihiro Nakamatsu is still alive.
EB should be called "Beating around the Bush"
Rhett, I was wondering how you found a stretch routine that helps your back pain. I have had chronic lower back pain for over 4 years. I had a spinal fusion surgery (like Links daughter) about 1 and a half years ago. I still have back pain but I had back pain from before the surgery and the doctors say that the pain is not related to the surgery.
