Ask Us Anything

[Music] welcome to ear biscuits I'm link and I'm red this week at the round table of dim lighting it's an AMA podcast you sent us questions about anything and everything and we've selected some of our faves that's SAV s short for favorites for those of you who heard don't know that which there is one person out there just so you know there's always one person who and you know what you cleared it up for yeah right it's a guy Philly a guy you cleared it up definitely a guy um the first question because we're gonna get right into this comes from me because right before we started recording my question was my statement to the people who were in the room as I scanned the room not including you was you guys you're too young to see you're gonna go there again yeah I thought you just did that but that was a pre podcast thing and I'm gonna bring it up I think it's worth bringing up because I just know what I need some camaraderie here cuz you didn't back me up I'm not a communist I have hid there was a time in my life where I had a television that in order to make it work you had to hit the side of it and it worked because we were trying to get this headphone thing working and I told Meggie just to hit it or blow in it like a cartridge in that does it does work and it is working now it is working now she did not hit it like a television but there may come a time during this podcast in which it doesn't work at that point I'm going naked that's shorthand for saying I'm taking my headphones off only and I feel like I could do the home so glad that's all that Nick without them I feel like it's a crutch I feel like the headphones are a crutch for a bad hair day you know it explains why the the backside here hairdo is so flattened yeah second question is from Kendall Sanders or Sanders if I recall correctly Kendall had lots of good questions I think we've narrowed it down to this one if we were to switch bodies a la Freaky Friday what is a quark you think you may need to tell me about your body that I should be aware of hmm and I she wrote it as if I was asking you so this is me asking you if if I switch to your body what would you need to tell me about it and vice versa and then she goes on for example some of mine would be my knees always cracked it's nothing to be concerned about I have a small cowlick in the right side of my head you'll never tame if your ankles start to hurt just pop the toes and you'll instantly feel better that's if you go into Kendall's body I love this come Kendall I love this question because pops are pops our toes and our ankles feel better yeah only Kendall knows that and could you imagine if you switched with Kendall and you had crazy ankles for three weeks but you need to know you just had to pop the toes and you couldn't talk to Kendall because that would be you yeah so first of all before great question bodies before you switch bodies with me we would need like a week-long class I mean I am a very I mean what give me the truncated version here because what if it happens as a result of something we discuss or if we hit the invisible trigger I don't know I didn't watch a few Freaky Friday yeah I missed that one well first of all just being a large person you know someone who's six foot seven who's about an inch shorter than your typical doorframe Oh with hair grazing the doorframe there's a whole like doorframe conversation which is just when in doubt duck which is you're always in doubt so you should always duck a little bit while indoors so just walk around hunch always be hunched in high school you did have a you did have a little bit of a hunch yes for the doorframes hey I have since corrected my posture for the most part mostly due to like yoga and Pilates etc but there's there's this de body size thing but there's also like if you if you're trying to bike up a hill your right knees gonna start hurting if you're trying to just walk down a hill your right knees gonna start hurting and you and you really I I wasn't tracking with what you're saying for a second I didn't know you'd moved on to other things I thought you were still talking about moved your hike going through a door so I thought you were presenting an analogy it's you know if you if you bike up a hill you're right and he's gonna stop hurting in the st. you start hurting the same way you have to Doug knew it there's our new stuff you've moved on okay so I'm I should listen if I'm gonna if I'm gonna become you I can your right knee yeah I can get little fellows out with my tongue I knew that that that's a good reason to become you because hey I don't have tonsils anymore to have the tonsil stones in them and it's so annoying being on the receiving end of like you making that face and I can tell you're digging your tongue and I don't know here so I don't evil out up pustule I don't even get him anymore when's the last time you saw me make that face it's been years that's true the reason is because I got so adept at just getting stuff out the moment that it's in the tassels that it's almost just like a knee it's a completely I don't stuff consciousness this is part of your eating regimen you just you just let your constant I clean my tonsils you lick your tonsils yeah see and you know you your biscuit ear are feeling the same way I feel which is this is gross why are you talking about this important information if you're gonna take over my body but I do I am curious when I do become you and I experience it from the inside out if I will get it oh I understand why no matter how much I tell them and it annoys me or how gross it is to anyone including everybody listening that it's now worth it I know that it's worth it yeah is that what you're telling me well I'm just also saying when you turn your head to the left you're gonna do that you're gonna feel for pops completely normal happens every time you're gonna have a recurring pain in the upper back a recurring pain in the middle back and a recurring pain in the lower back but if you get up and do a series of stretches which I can give you diagrams every single morning preferably with your dog on your face the whole time you will you will gain mastery over these things also every once in a while just while breathing you're going to feel a sharp pain right in the middle of chest you're going to think that you're having a heart attack it is not a heart attack it is also not a pinched lung as link would call it yeah pinched lung because paint don't have nerves it's just a spasm of sorts in your rather impressive pectoral muscles I will say that um let's see what else can you follow on Instagram I mean that's probably that's just day one I could go on I won't because this is an unlikely scenario but I'm just saying I got a lot I got a lot I can tell you what about you when you enter my body and become me that's kind of a weird way to put it I would say just enjoy it man it's pretty good the water's fine you don't have any light precautions like don't touch sharp objects I mean like no I would at least say that just live with and sleep with reckless abandon you know it's the world is your oyster man just crack it crack it drop some Tabasco on it and slurp it down just enjoy it because it won't last forever but it will change you forever yeah you'll be you well you're pretty big when you change back to you you will still have lasting effects of swimming in the ocean of link oh gosh let's move on to the next question you I could go on please don't we'll both write manuals my will be in Gerda's not at all here's your's a guided tour this is not helpful TAFE Andrews ask do you have a paramedic on set well that's a good question so as we're filming good mythical morning do we have a paramedic action yes and that is a recent addition yes and on any given day we have a rotation of paramedics it's not the same one every day I don't think they can they can handle the suspense but this is me almost chopping your fingers off but this is a slow build I will say hello in your face off of something backs and then if you go back to basics they go back to the first few years of GMM there was nothing if we if we had I was your paramedic accident you were my paramedic if someone was going to die and and then that turned into some time like 18 months ago well there was a middle point where we would if we like one of the first person we people were hired we were looking for an editor and so we were looking for an editor slash CPR registered babysitter I think it's we didn't say that but that's kind of I don't recall that we were looking at resumes it's like we knew we needed a lot but I do seriously remember about 18 months ago Stevie was like well several people on the crew are now CPR certified it's like good idea and then in November well give them something to practice on when GM became a youtube original and we were able to get some more resources one of the resources that we got was a budget that allowed us to have a full-time paramedic and the funny thing is is regardless of who it is it's I look over there and I see her face from I'm like a hawk it's it's never a relaxed face yeah it's always like this you can hit the fan real quick here I just I don't you know what maybe I'll own some of this I don't get the impression from the paramedics that I put them at ease no you don't I just get that vague impression hey they're looking at me a lot are you looking at you most of the time this is true I mean there was a recent there was a recent thing that we filmed that I'm not gonna describe because it's it's not out yet it's like a special thing it may never come out by the way depending on how the thing before it goes when it comes out oh that thing so because we filmed your thing then we phoned my thing right afterwards even though we wanted to introduce space in between them for you to have some time to digest one before the next and when I was I I thought it was a near-death experience like the point was I wasn't supposed to say anything there was like a conceit to this video I'm sorry I can't give you details but I thought you were acting I was not acting but I was staying in character huh you think about that no I wanted to stay within the rule the the rules of the of the piece but I'd I was very afraid I thought I should release it no matter what the reaction to my thing is okay especially now that I've talked about it without talking about it but I look at when I was done I look I walked out and I was okay by that point I was still in pain but I was okay and I knew I wasn't gonna die and I went by I can't remember which paramedic it was kind of all blurs together anyway she she was she was I was like what would you have done and she was like well I was thinking about that but III didn't reach any conclusion so she she was there she was thinking it through like oh I'm the one but I don't know how to deal with this specific thing but I mean we can't really keep talking about unless you want to say what it was because well there's certain things that you're choking on that there's nothing you can do the Heimlich doesn't work for certain yes that you're choking on we'll leave it at s and we'll get back to these questions in one second but we will stop very briefly to let you know that you know what you can get I actually wore tell me on the podcast recently yes cotton-candy Randi t-shirts yeah it says hi daddy's which is cotton candy Randy's favorite thing to say and when you put the shirt on it whispers disturbing secrets in your ear cotton candy Randy is my favorite person and a lot of people think that it's just a character played by Jordan one of our writers but actually it he's real it's just a real I don't wanna say superhero but fictional purse a real fictional he's a caring person he is a fake person played by Jordan is that what you know he's like the Easter Bunny he's a real fictional person right he's not just one of our writers he's like he's a cultural phenomenon and a lot of people really first of all cotton candy Randy is polarizing and polarizing things are my favorite things that polarizing things are great on t-shirts yeah and so if you hate cotton dear Annie that's why I love cotton candy Randy and if because if that's why my buddy doesn't you buy it it's not worth loving if somebody doesn't hate it it's not worth loving that's how I feel about it because if everybody's just looking at me like I'm it so it's pretty good then it's not it's not great somebody's gotta hate it some people hate cotton candy ready I will say so great the haters should go to mythical dot store and buy the cotton candy rainy t-shirt because they can burn it you're buying the right to deface it yeah you can do whatever it's not like and money here you can buy our merchants astray it right support internat Ament rep your teams you can get that at both mythical store but you can also get it amazon.com slash mythical our amazon store check out both of those stores because they have different stuff except for that which has both of them yeah yeah it's your turn to ask a question well then let me ask it this one's from Katherine is I birth yes I've always wanted to know what your wives think about your jobs there's an exclamation point I didn't anticipate it especially when you dress up like women well that's cry laugh emoji well should I include emojis and when I ask the question yeah the part about dressing up like women does not blip their radar no so we do that at home most times I'm not doing it I'm just not digging into that one because it's a if that's it's just a non-issue yeah they're committing kids or what nor wives are ever surprised by what we may wear come home smelling like it's just all a big blur at this point now you know Christie Norma kids watch every episode of good mythical morning they do you know I come home and and it's like they live with that's the show right that is the show no it's like I don't know I don't think I'd want to watch somebody that I lived with watch their show every single day but then they do like it and they do like to catch up on parts of it but so Christie doesn't watch that much or or listen at your busiest and Oh today I got a text from Christie I'm pulling it up just a few hours ago she texted me you don't believe in a soul mate which was our last ear biscuit conversation did I say you know what happened somebody out wasn't she never listen listen to our podcast what happened is somebody who knows them listen to our podcast and then it was like knows our wives and then you think Jessie might have gotten I bet you when I get home tonight I'm gonna get it she ain't gonna text me I don't know did you say so wait till I get home did you she's gonna ambush I said the same thing but she knows this is how I feel already she knows that in fact I think the fact that she knows that that's how I feel makes our love even more special right honey well let's pause on that for a second this is what I responded to Christy haha I was telling you about this oh gosh oh really that's your response I think I was haha I think I did I'm pretty sure that I had mentioned to her that this has come up on an ear biscuit oh but it hasn't come up at a personal conversation before you before um not in in recent years no it's not just it's not like dinner talk for us hey let's bring up that are we soul mates conversation again but I I saw you soul mates is is there such thing as soul I know such and then she responded I don't remember and of course I can't tell if there's sarcasm in that I don't know I haven't talked to and I was like yeah and I love you and I actually do think you are my soul mate smiley face it's our special secret oh gosh what what and you laughed at that and then she says nope that secret needs to be made public oh well it has been now and I responded winky-face emoji oh it's almost like you're in a different conversation yeah yeah well first of all that's not a winky face emoji that's a semicolon and a parenthesis do you know man how it's done oh there's a whole keyboard for it I also hit television is to get them to function you usually think that it will automatically translate into an emoji if you do it right I didn't but maybe maybe that is a successful distraction technique the biggest revelation in this whole exchanges that you're still doing in the semicolon in the parenthesis honestly on phone in an email it's one thing I'm certain I'll talk to her about it but she does not listen his podcast and we have a rat who is the rat it could be my sister-in-law it could be your brother-in-law yep there's a number of people well that's the only two I can think of your sister listens to this yeah I recently found out my brother's wife oh yes she likes to listen to it while she does things oh gosh she's listening right now we're making it worse you know what you've done it you've done a plenty as we would say you've done a plenty you who know who you are I like rats many people have rats but in general our wives really love our show is that when we say things like there are no such thing as soul mates I'm certain that I've talked to Christi about her not being my soul mate any more than any if I almost texted back I was like yeah no but you put you're still putting it wrong you don't say you're not my soul mate you me like I don't believe in the concept no one held oats yeah and you know you'd be wrong you know I've sold my mind you can become a soul mate this is much easier this way I was wrong I am really sorry Christy is my soul mate I'm her soul mate I don't know about anybody else yep and Jesse's my soul mate too right solved Katie and bling Barsky yes how do your kids handle you guys being famous I'm not sure if you'd like that to be the word I use but you understand no you can say it since they go to school and everyone is on the internet do they love it hate it do all their friends watch you guys this is a great question Katie Ann because I think that our kids do have opinions about this yeah they do I mean Lilly's 14 Locke is 13 Lincoln is 12 Shep got a shepherd nine nine and then Lando is seven and they're all about to increment up a year many of them everyone except Shep will turn a new year in the next 12 and Alexa for 20 30 days how many numbers can you say wrong I don't know well for Twitty right none of those were prime numbers though that's I'm proud of that well I know I know your your your eldest lock has been more concerned about it than Lily which surprised me a little bit Lily going to a new school and all I mean my interpretation is that Locke wants to be his own person wants to establish his own deal doesn't want to be first and foremost known as my son and you never get a first chance to make a second impression yep and there are there are situations like there have been some things like there was an event at his school that was like some sort of like pancake breakfast or something and this is like what he had been going to school for like a week or two and you know he was new to school because they have been homeschooled he was like I don't want you to come to that because if I go to something that with kids in that age group it can you know it's the pictures start and and it just becomes about me being there and you know so you and me I knew why yeah and I'm like cool I don't want to go anyway no but so I get out a lot of things because no but I totally get it and and then we had like there was like an event like a knock hilber fest event that his some of his friends were going to but we were also gonna go to it and he was like I don't want to walk around with you you know and I and I get it I totally get it and I and I actually went to that thing or something very similar to it with Lincoln he's a great lower at the same school and yeah there was those moments there was like some picture opportunity moments and there was just a risk there of like is it was this you know how's that gonna Lincoln wasn't too fazed by it but I don't like it what happens at one of his things yeah yeah like a sporting event or something like that right like the team that you just played wants the kids from that team want to come get a picture of me I'm just like yeah but I don't wanna be a jerk to those kids and be like no yeah that's happened to me too but so i Lincoln's opponents are taking pictures with me it's like that's there's a loyalty thing happening here right yeah I don't I don't take pictures with the the enemy but I mean I went to Lando's grade school for some event and he was like so excited to have me there and then there were a few like with those younger kids even a few picture moments happening and like he would just went away he went somewhere else he did not want to stay right there I mean he's Elena's pretty shy you know so it he definitely would never see that as an opportunity hey hey hey you know like I probably would have when I was his age Shepard does Owen Sheppard because we were talking about this right when they were starting school I figured that the word would get around mm-hmm and was we were just talking about did like I think if kids come up and I asked you is your dad on the internet or whatever and that was like yeah I kind of say and he kind of took the approaches like sometimes I just say no like I don't know what you're talking about because I don't want to have a conversation about it but Shepherd the shepherd was like I told my class all day one my dad's on YouTube like 30 great Mandy not and just telling everybody in class now I mean when we were first talking about that with Lincoln I was like Lincoln does this concern you and he was like yeah like you know we both have discussed being it you know helping our kids be a good judge of character that their friends want to be there they're friends and not just yeah proxy our friends through our kids there's you know just think it's cool to be associate you all gonna be friends because of them and then Lincoln comes home a few days a few days later he's like honey can I get your autograph I want to give it to a friend like weren't you listening as far as 2018 autographs are not a thing signature is that what we call them now they don't happen no I'm um saying but it gets difficult because there's a fundraiser at Lando school he loves his school and then a teacher asked me if I would show up to be one of the prizes for the kids that raise the most money well how like just to come out of a meet and greet situation okay and potentially both of us but you know I knew I knew how sensitive Lando was and it's a hard thing to say no to when it's like you just feel like they're not gonna understand why you're saying no but this would really impact how the school viewed Lando potentially and you know there's there's enough things that he's trying to figure out how the other kids how the other kids what did I say that's cool I mean yeah all the kids in the school yeah would start to see him and it's a you don't want to be defined by somebody else yeah or something else that's not you in general I don't think it it's but it was a hard thing to say no to it was it was easy that that was the right choice for us but it was you just you know when you feel like you can't you try to explain why but it's you know it's frustrating for the person planning cuz they had a good idea in their mind and then you're like well now you practically now you got to start over right yeah and I might be a jerk I don't know give me another question actually my turn I got a made you've got some questions now Minerva lgp asks do you play any bets between the two of you it looks like you were very much into games and competition on GMM does that happen often IRL that's good mythical morning versus in real life both acronyms yeah this is actually something that we've done for a long time going back to when we were kids yes most of the time it's like if I can hit that rock if I can hit that pole with this rock you gotta give me $5 that was the beauty of childhood the way that we worked man we were just like just like coyotes on the prowl around Buies Creek just had all the time in the world to do whatever we wanted and when he just mosey sometimes you just mosey and like down the street pushing your bike or whatever and riding the many many many times I would say ninety eight ninety five percent of the time you and you would instigate some sort of pseudo athletic prowess bet that's what life's all about you know it's like throwing this you know this is this was pre dude perfect we were still hitting televisions to make them work yep but it was you know can you throw this rock over the power line but then get it through the hoop in my basketball goal as I'm entering the door to get a KitKat from the cabinet it doesn't have to be that intricate but but then we would sit there we had we had time to mosey here since every 20 minutes trying a beautiful thing about this is that you can take what otherwise is just a completely boring moment in life and yet you have an object in an environment you can create a challenge that can get a group of people so fired up like and I absolutely love to do this you know if it's if it's comedic ly frivolous enough then I'll also get involved but the competition aspect of it doesn't resonate with me but the the sheer nuts factor is what I was because here's what here's the beautiful thing so like so it's not about winning money not too long ago who's never really I mean we always say no but nobody ever gets paid but I'm her friend Mike Mike was featured in the quest for the the perfect taco on our Instagram story yeah from oh yeah so Mike was out here and we were a my basketball goal in my house and we were some I likes it was like alright I'm gonna see if I can throw it up on top of the house two-story house have it bounce off of the Spanish tile roof so it big which is not a predictable bounce no it's not at all come back down and go into the hoop and we're talking about horse here this was anyway a horse cuz no one can actually we played a game of horse but then we just started trying this shot and and then it we quickly learn the chances of this going in are so slim that if it does go in we're gonna go nuts and so just one after another the three of us just like rotating kept doing it and and it never once did you think we should film this and no send it to Texas but when it happened it did happen did I hit it I made it you did how long did it take at 12 minutes you know I mean we're shooting a lot so it felt more impossible than it was yeah but when it happened the celebration the the embraces the jumping in the air yeah the yelling yeah you would think that someone had won something significant but no we just created a little challenge or had like it a child just the other day when we were we were shooting the dude perfect parity thing the bill goes the field goals kicks um we've got yeah we got done and I was like I'm gonna throw this football to that trashcan yeah from a from a distance that any middle school quarterback it was like 20 yards and I threw it like 20 times in now eventually I got hold what you threw once then I threw it and when I threw it I almost hit it yeah right off the bat yeah but neither of us made it it never all my shoulder got hurt and then the paramedic had to come over exactly like two throws in link sitting down getting massages from the paramedic the only the only useful thing the paramedic has done the whole time that we've been employed no she's given us a sense of veneer of safety well she is very useful that she's there I'm just unsure inspire jit yeah those are two big things and then the third thing the most work when my shoulder got tweaked in the quarterback zone quarterback zone she ahand it wasn't when you say getting a massage from the massage lasted 20 minutes I was like when is Lee gonna get back into this Wow I lost heart man I didn't even I didn't even get it get it in there because I lost heart cuz you just got a massage but Andrew the cameraman started tossing it yeah but nobody did not the same as me huh I know you can say it it wasn't the same that's it anyway shoulders still hurt I think it's a great way to inject some stakes I think our life a hereditary shoulder issue I went to therapy a few years back that's what got me back into the gym to maintain the ground I regained from physical therapy in this joint my shoulder but my dad he came he picked me up from college one day and he took me on Christmas shopping to buy my gifts cuz that's what that was our tradition and we were having a good old time and in the Crabtree Valley Mall and I just I'll just leaned over and I just I just punched him on the shoulder just like a look we caught what we call a love lick my granddad would always pinch me or give you a twister in the tea region or like just a good wallop on the arm or a frog on the leg that's a lovely so I gave my dad one of those that's just a way to non-verbally say I love you and I'm powerful and my dad didn't tell me for like six months but I severely damaged his shoulder like he said he it started hurting something he he had to go to the doctor and it and like the ligament had separated oh you're such a jerk I'm sad I felt horrible and you didn't tell me for six months and now I think I'm getting it so I'm literally telling my kids like don't know love licks in the shoulders you know there's you know how you know how broad they are they're so usually that means they're not susceptible as susceptible to I mean they're really far apart and not in a good way and like a and like a disproportionate robot yeah it's like kind of like sideview mirrors that are just waiting to be clipped by another car and then the collarbones are so prominent yeah there's something just anatomically is not correct about my shoulder reader wear shoulder pads all the time like my mom in the 80s and the 90s you could bring me only 2000 US backed where I could just go raid her closet for all of her trench coats I'd be like Kevin Smith but with more shoulder pads let's ask another question ask one Laurel Ann browning as lifelong best friends have you ever had the conversation if I die first I want to dot dot dot ooh let's get into death if I die first I want to dot dot dot have we had this conversation she wants to know well we did have the like tactical logistical conversation just about like because we had to like create our like in the whole insurance deal you know like a couple years ago and we yeah went through the whole process of like creating wills and insurance and and that kind of thing but none of that really answers the question well because I mean it turns out if you have if you have a successful business as a duo I mean that where you're kind of the faces of this thing well it was pointed out to us you have you I mean we had to explore all this stuff that literally included like if one of us dies like what happens I mean because you have this catalog of videos that you know I mean face it when one of us dies a lot of you will watch a lot of them even more so than or being watched now so there's that generates income and so it's like well how do you distribute it if I die well I get I get all the money no because I got it with a family that's what my contracts know so it was like vice by first and it's like both it's like when they say that like Taylor Swift has her legs insured which I don't know if that's an urban legend or it's true but basically Mary Hart they just updated the urban legend do the duo is insured right so when the duo is no longer a duo because the the untimely death of one of the duo's one part of the duo it's really our wives we the other person's wife will be well taken care of and there'll be there's an insurance payment which basically though so like let's say I die good then not your figuring not know I don't mean good I mean if one of us is if we're gonna say one of us it's good that you chose you know and so then you have to kind of figure out what what are you gonna do right what why what's next for the linkster yes identity that's much bigger question I do think you should begin to refer to yourself as the link at that point because you just go right what I found is that with the exception of share you can't just have a one syllable name and just be known by that link you got Oprah 2-shot Madonna you got to go to the linkster with it with a V that's my first piece of advice but also I already knew that you will get paid an insurance payment which is the whole link transforming into the linkster transition period where you're figuring out what you're gonna do and what is the link is gonna be known for is you gonna are you gonna learn to juggle I suggest that as well yeah you can take you to leave it all these ideas alright there'll be quite a bit of floundering and the floundering will be covered by an insurance plan and by that I literally mean fishing for flatfish the linkster whose eyes wandering right your oceans gonna be you're gonna be like a building sabbatical what was a bill dance yeah I was watching bill dance you know there's a there's a reddit montage yes dance dance is that his name bill dance like I'm verify that police fishermen bill dance he had a fishing show and I think he still does anywheres at Texas hat Tennessee Tennessee oh I'm sorry oh gosh you just ascended so many I know I'm just out an orange team I'm out of her orange long horn its tennis we just lost a lot of fans there God now I'm just talking to you because that's all we had yes I just I mean it's kind of Winnebago ish but it's build Nance talking to the camera while he's fishing and then all types of stuff happens he's the greatest no you're the Winnebago Man as the oh no they're all they're both great they're both great right why don't always forget that but anyway so with that second cure worst runner in the history of good mythical morning but it always has to be reestablished Andrea explain us of what it is that's not common but it's a legitimate question so I mean oh we're having the conversation now I mean links gonna potentially be a fisherman but they're saying if I die well I what Laura want to know was what our funeral plans are which we you know we we specified a lot of those in the book so we won't go through that book all the callee and that does lead into a tandem question which faith shoe craft will you be buried next to each other yeah so if we die together you know that's simple you know we know how the money split to the to the families and you don't have to worry about floundering right but so but before we answer we would be buried next to each other so I think that it's not you are you gonna you teasing that it's not like yeah yeah I like the tease when I can i it's not like well you would go back to be an engineer I would go back to be an engineer just because we have to we would obviously continue on in some sort of internet a maintainer squares of light do we need to do should we replace the person or should we just be a solo act like you know I these are these are all legitimate questions that we would answer right now whoever is left now we should that's a cross that bridge when the person dies did you write and then again is there's money for floundering yeah and you never know what kind of you never know what it's gonna be is this a death you can see coming from miles away or is this sudden real real really interesting not sad at all so wait so we're pushing that off but if we die at the same time we'll be what will we be being or not or not well though buried a I'm not gonna be buried okay I'm gonna be cremated be okay is that news to you well I just once they ask it I was like man that would be pretty cool be buried next to you I guess if I get cremated then dividing the ashes up is easy but do you you don't do you have a like a do you have like a grave site that you can go to when you well I thought you just on the shelf somewhere I have been thinking that I would be I think in the book we say that we're gonna be cremated because that led to like a comedic I've said cremated for for quite some time but I really like the idea of biodegrading in a biodegradable box it is the most environmentally responsible way and I've already done it once but you can't be you can't you can't be you have to be creepy was yeah he was buried alive in a cardboard box in in Marshall King pilot episode of commercial you can't watch comfort first of all you can watch it on iTunes commercial Kings is available you can watch on iTunes or Amazon it's a show we did like seven years ago on high of C high that episode it's a good show my just watch until North Carolina and we we did a commercial for a company called bury me naturally and it was a a woman who Carol Carol Carol motley Carol motley I remember everything about it yeah she sold biodegradable cardboard caskets and of course if we're gonna make an ad for it you had to test it out and Rhett what you head into breaking up red wouldn't fit in the friggin cardboard box yeah so he buried me anyway and you know what I'd do it all over but I would be dead yeah being dead would be less nervous but here's the thing of you know like a mausoleum you've got like those drawers if you just if you take a casket you put it above ground I'm calling that a one-person mausoleum take two of those stack it on top of each other I'm calling it a two-person mausoleum but you know what that looks like a GMM desk then on top of that you put a microphone you put two but limestone let's make it limestone you'll be made out of wood I'll be made out of limestone what about your wife I'll get to that whatever our soldiers visages statues now here's the answer we're not a pretty I mean you want to have self aggrandizing isn't it well it wouldn't be open to the public I wouldn't charge ticket this isn't a room somewhere this isn't a there's somewhere in the woods this isn't a prize reserved pasture this isn't the pasture where we made the blood out maybe it's like a gorilla reserve I'd be cooling you have to like get through the gorillas to get to the statues well it turns out gorillas are actually very peaceful spoiler alert but they're very scary and intimidating most people gorillas have so the people who know the truth can just walk right up to the statues and if you pull on the microphone it there's audio of something that we said at some point plenty of that we can make that right now hello welcome to the rhett and Link Monument look to your left that's gorge the gorilla or a relative of George you don't know how long George is gonna be around just name them all George that's a footnote yeah they're all named George he looks pretty intimidating you had the good sense to walk through the gorillas knowing that they are naturally vegetarian and very unlikely to eat you I can still read for you thanks for showing up please return your map to the visitor center okay also down exit you can also download the app but it's too late for that because there's no cell service or whatever they call it now in this part of the forest good day just put your $50 in this box right here or any any any amount any amount is accepted over $50 to help keep up the pristine condition of this monument okay in recording a side note we're not in that like our bodies our remains are not in there no that's why I use the term monument right right because I'm gonna be buried my soul my wife my soul mate but I'm not gonna be buried I'm gonna be well I am I'm gonna biodegrade I want to be spread I want my ashes to be spread 50% Pacific Ocean 50% Cape Fear River you're being real now I am and my wife knows this but if I decide to go biodegradable she's gonna have to cut me in half and I don't know if it's gonna be like cut me at the waist I think she should coming down the middle she does she's not doing any of it she's instructing people to do this cut me down the middle because if you get the top half seems more important well the bottom half is pretty for it if you come in most a horse where it counts you you cut me down the middle so it's one laterally one half of my body that part is can you can't just throw a dead body into the ocean or the river though no okay if you got a burnt part of me cut my hands off burn those bury bury the body mix in my life put one man charred hand in the Pacific Ocean you think this is one charge hand is nothing fun about it man I was trying to cover my bases so see she's peasant it's re facetious pheasant a very active member of the the mythical community asks a lot of questions link will you ever return to Instagram at least post one last picture is that it that's it man well there's a hashtag your biscuits but I thought that was unnecessary last year I was like you know what I'm really feeling that I should be on Instagram again but I just need some incentive to come back and so I was like what if we did something on the show and that that would get me back on Instagram and then we're like yeah we can people will enjoy that and then come the top of the year we started we started filming these segments no I'm wrong it was earlier than that because it was at the launch of the expanded GMM one of the first week so that was that was in November octo so the idea was in an October ish anyways it was at that like the transitional point in the long story short I just wasn't I wasn't happy with with the segment well you're the only one and they're right and it's like it just didn't nothing was nothing was how we wouldn't do it like that now and then of course we did it again because it was like well maybe we just need you know we can keep need to do it better I think I think enough mythical beast care about me returning the Instagram that maybe maybe maybe we can just do it again didn't change enough and similar happy with it again not something we would do now in terms of like the approach in the tone and the the the well can we talk about that for just a second before you talk about your well sure your Instagram because I know you want to talk about specifically what your pop well I'm just saying I was disappointed because I actually thought that that would lead to me getting back on Instagram but we're not we're not doing that segment anymore because I didn't I didn't like it well and I talk about it as much as you want to think it's bigger than that too because I mean I didn't like it as well but yeah it seems like the mythical beast didn't like it because it's interesting you know I think that we're we said this so we did our whole podcast where we defended ourselves against the decision to change the format of good mythical morning and I you know I got a little yeah I was I was offended as you could tell by the way that I handled myself in that podcast and from we're offended by yourself I was offended by myself no no I'm just saying that like I was I was struggling with the fact that so many people were responding the way they responded responding and making accusations that they were making about what we were - while we were doing it and stuff and you know and then we had that raw just this is what we're thinking right now without talking about it ahead of time podcast which based on some of the response to that podcast I was kind of like you know what I kind of lost my appetite for defending myself about creative decisions at least for a while so this isn't in terms of the process of like how we come on why you are you prepared to say why that is I think that I think in general I think it can be helpful to explain yourself or why you why you're doing things but it seems to me that the people who would be affected by your defense don't really care for it and the people who would be affected by your defense don't need it with rare exception so you know if I were cuz you know we said ma you but you don't think that I mean the vast majority of responses weren't positive no no I mean like we said before it so it was kind of helpful to you know to give window into what how we were assessing or how passionately we felt about things I mean there's a I could have focused more on the positive things that people were saying and less on trying to defend myself against what I thought were unfair accusations about the reasons why we were doing what we but it's a it's just a natural human response to when you're accused of something to want to give your perspective but there I mean I so I think I think we can put in one pile defending yourself against accusers is something that you've decided not to do now but a lot of that podcast for both of us I think was or both of those conversations was not coming from a defensive place but coming from an explanatory place which is a little bit different it's like maybe we had mythical beasts whose heads with who they're scratching their heads but they believed they gave us the benefit of the doubt but there was still doubt or just gaps so I think it's a different thing to explaining yourself and defending yourself right explaining yourself can all often seem like defending yourself and I think that sometimes they are the same thing yeah but all that to say that you know we tried a lot of things early on that segment being one of them and a few other things like that and the way I would describe that segment was a scripted segment that took place at the desk and what we learned very quickly is that it isn't that people don't want us to do scripted content right is that they don't want scripted content to invade that the non-scripted space which I call that the desk you know what I'm saying so it's like doing something that is obviously written ahead of time at the desk people don't have an appetite for that and I totally get that but yeah if we do a sketch or we do something where we're playing characters or if we do something where we're we actually have a couple things coming out very soon that it's you know it's more along the lines of a traditional it's not really a sketch but you know it's just written jokes but it's the environment that we're doing it in is more like it's not the desk yeah and it's a shorter video and it's a more like traditional rhett and Link you know before GMM sort of internet video and once we kind of we started to understand it like oh it isn't that people don't want us to try to be funny in different ways it's that they're not comfortable with us trying this in this environment but this segment was it one of those things scripting things at the desk just ripped the heart out of what we built at a desk and I think it was very it was very good to be reminded of that as a side note and you know that just kind of gave window into just kind of the way that we're thinking about the three videos the yellow border video the middle one in being as he just said more of if we remove the constructive constraints of our show and so now we can open up to any idea we want that we want to tag excuse me tackle comedic Lee we can do it in any way if for the internet you know and not be not have to I was gonna say velcro it in but wedge it or you can Belko it in I don't know a rough wedge it into where we do our show but you know back to the Instagram thing I think it it particularly pinched a nerve or pinched a nerve because for for those of you who want me back on Instagram you legitimately want me back on Instagram so if we're gonna explore that on the show I mean you don't want to toy with it so much that it seems disingenuous so I think I think that was that wasn't that was a second strike against that thing was that we made it into a comedy bit that yes was scripted but was also it just it it brought in a question whether I was actually going to come back to Instagram at all and the plan was to come back is the plan still to come back well it's not gonna be that way and so now it's like and I do think I saw a while back that like there was a there was a buzz that James Hetfield the lead singer for Metallica after five years or six years or whatever it was came back to Instagram and I don't know what his picture was I was gonna click on it and then I didn't want to think about it at that moment so I literally ran away from the tweet I put my phone down I ran away I didn't want to so now I'm back to the pressure that I that I described it you know as the premise of the whole bit which is man you just can't you can you just sneak in the back door of your of your of your big party or do you come in the front door with your sequins on and say I made it here I am there's no I mean at this point that analogy doesn't work because there is only a front door for you to return to Instagram through yeah but if I'm just like if I put like a picture of my carpet yeah but everyone would see you it's like walking into a party covered in a carpet everybody still sees you I wouldn't be under the car but I do think that it's it's necessary to james hetfield it was just a picture of him holding up he was drinking coffee what does that say what's the coffee mug say have a glorious day but then when he picks it up at somebody flipping the bird underneath the coffin my middle finger it's very my real on it in a metallic or a metallic well but I think it's important for you did it was key people to understand too that your return to Instagram would have it would be a lot of hoopla around the first image but then you'd be like me probably worse than me oh gosh worse in terms of how often you post I mean I think I thought you meant promoting myself on my podcast oh yeah yeah it would be so much worse than you yeah yeah but I mean we're both let's just face it man we're both really bad at social media like naturally our natural disposition towards social media is just really not great I legitimately have hit the side of a television in order to get it to work I'm telling you that that tells you everything you need to know about why I'm not on Instagram let's but but I want you to come back I want you to come back but don't don't put so much pressure on yourself because you know that when you come back they're still gonna be like a month between pictures and that's okay I think I should the first one should be you covered I have a world of pictures from the past can I just like act like it's my Instagram from a year ago and just like every a posted in a picture so of all the pictures I've been taking private no let's pick the best question of the remaining questions I think you probably have a better one than I have here nothing against this particular question but I'll read them all out loud then the ones we don't answer people can conjecture about on using hashtag ear biscuits and see if they can be answered without us do you want to do that do these two I think we can do these two because they're fun questions I can move through very quickly so we're skipping Ryan or Donna's if you were on Amazing Race would you take the lead why are you gonna read a question I just told you that's what I was gonna do and I asked you should do that well of course you should you didn't say anything it's a great question yeah I win okay go to the next question it wasn't who would win it would who was who would take the lead I would drive you would drive I get carsick yeah and we would wreck you know even in a cab I would drive look at us answering it Hannah asks well or should I this isn't just Hannah this is Half Moon emoji Hannah full Sun symbol or the full spectrum there what's your favorite texture I love this question to you what's your favourite texture is gummy a texture it may be a good texture in your mouth but what about light on your hands in my hands everywhere in my hands on my body in my mouth gummy things do something for me like a very large gummy bear I'd I would sleep next to one of those you know it's not my soul mate or anything but I the ideal wife on one side blah becoming on the other taking a lot just a good large gummy just a hunk of gummy and just putting it on my cheek and then taking a bite out of it then put it back on my cheek and then rubbing it with my fingers I would love the idea of all this with gummy come sticky that is a bad texture for me yeah but stickiness stick he's not a texture sticky's a side effect of this particular thing that has the texture that I love stickies and I reckon texting you know what you can get a you can get a gummy bear that doesn't have stickiness yeah you take the sugar out of it the gelatin doesn't have any sticky and do not eat those without the sugar it would be a horrible it would be a horrible experience but the texture would be great I'd love to just have a mask that was shaped just like my mask that I could just put my face into every day are you talking about like hair mask gummy buoyancy not buoyancy but bounciness in a little sorceress are you talking about like that unwed jell-o unwed jello are you talking about the fruit snacks that your mom used to buy that we're not the hardened ones but the real one of those the Welch's are they Welch they were shaped like grapes and cherries oh wow if I could just have a bed made out of I was watering man you see you'd sweat and it all gets sticky yeah I'd have somebody to remake it every night and this is a no dream world where I have unlimited access to people who just generate gummy things for me the whole house will be gummy the furniture would be going you owe me a tenner but gummy steering-wheel I'd eat it I'd use it this is the world I want to live in that's what I'm gonna do if you die I just answered the question I'm gonna create a gummy world that I live in I thought my favorite texture with gummy mancom probably the gummy man net because I'm sure that that's taken the gummy man dotnet th ate the gummy man I thought my favorite texture was the first thing I thought of was Jade's fur that's sweet but when you started talking about gummy I realized there's a superior texture and I can't place where I've experienced it specifically but let me describe it to you and please help me remember where this has been experienced because I've been it's like the opening scene of like the the drama where they're so in love and then they're separated by war and distance and glaciers and they're spinning the whole movie trying will they reunite and when one of them has memory loss that you there's a it's like a cushiony thing that it's like it's got a vinyl like a really supple vinyl over a cushion that when you push on push in on it and then you take your hands away it stays the same for a second and then it slowly started to come back memory foam its original shape like memory foam but it's got a it's got a plastic key film over it Jakob saying a wrist rest on Mouse yeah that's more like gut that's good no that's all gummy yeah that this this is something it's all of that - I think it's a certain type of neck pillow that is cold to the touch and then it's plasticky but it's a very supple suppleness to it and it mushes in and then when you remove your hands it's slowly it's the type of memory foam inside of this thing that is not that's better than memory foam because that's my favorite texture so you're saying that I she's almost like a stress ball a memory foam bed some in them all my life IRD sleeping it's got a latex covering over it it's like a it's like a stress ball there's a certain type of stress ball that does this but I've experienced in a bigger way but for a fact it is absolutely in a stress ball that's like got a vinyl supple vinyl on the outside supple vinyl that's links favorite texture last question Ryan Morris asks what is the oldest object that you use on a daily basis that's an interesting question oldest object oldest objects Ingle day there's only a few things I come in contact with every single day I'm yeah I can I know what it is well give me yours because I'm I'm at a loss I'm kind of stepping through my day but I actually have a guess of what yours might be okay I guess it your permanent retainer I don't use it every day what it's permanent it's stuck in your mouth forever what do you mean you don't use it every day I took that out there oh you did the dinner it came loose and the dish took it out that's what I'm about and tell me my bottom teeth are crooked now she didn't tell me she was gone yeah yeah I actually have a No retainer that I don't wear that's why my bottom teeth are crooked well I'm a little I just can't believe you didn't tell me that well then that was removed that would be the filling and filling of course not something that's my ring I'm not counting that oh you're not like an object to use if that's not on your person because I have a couple of sealants that my Nana snuck into the dentist office over the weekend what you're getting very very technical yeah I'm being honest I've got sealants that that in fact last time I went to the dentist he was like your sealants are still intact from when you were a kid mine too yeah my Nana worked for the dentist but she was not a dentist and then she would sneak me in on the weekend and give me things like sealants because she just she was a dental assistant yeah she did all the dentists things soul from the dumbest well who incidentally was your father-in-law yep it she did assault she stole from him I mean oh you owe me I'm sure family stole from my family I'm sure she told him and it didn't matter he didn't care now so okay if you see glints or fillings the ring I've been real asses I don't want to think you're frustrated because I was right now the thing you're gonna tell me is not as old no no no I'm saying an object that you come in contact with the news like for you it might be your glasses oh like because I feel like the ring and the glide but things that you wear yeah Tiffany we can go outside of the box but I'm taking something that I come in contact with every single day for a moment in time and I keep coming back to it every single give me it let me can I guess it has to do with my mouth so this is in the bathroom mm-hmm your toothbrush is the oldest thing you come in contact no clothes I know what it is what you still have one of those frickin tongue brushes I have the Aurora brush tongue brush and it has not lost any of us about fish I mean they sponsored our videos seven years ago I don't know it literally says on the packaging you're supposed to replace it every year their whole business model is based on the fact that you can't keep for that long they made them so well that I've looked at this thing a million times and there's absolutely no degradation on any part of it you know watch it every single time I use it it can't autoclave it man you don't know how clean it is we wash it you rinse it no but did you think you but you say you wash it my own soap run over your feet that doesn't count as wash you can't reinfect yourself with a virus or bacteria that you already have but what about the stuff floating and landing on it there's nothing floating and landing on it from your we've been through this well yeah but your toothbrush is the same thing your toothbrush is got crap all over it you just replace your toothbrush every single day and take it out of a sterilized sealed package if you wanted to avoid those germs I do but to me I think the thing that I come in contact with besides my ring and my fillings and my sealants every single day that check check is my tongue brush and it's so old it's seven years old I get I I got rid of mine not more than a year ago though so I kept mine for a long time - and you got rid of it now because it quit working you got rid of it why just because I stopped you is you were like it's you don't you just um brush me why don't I brush with the brush again and I'll use them the brush doesn't work as well I know I mean or brush is no longer a sponsor of anything that we do are they are they still around I don't even know all right but they had a saying that was a saying it was a slogan ninety percent or it was just a fact 90% of bad breath is caused by a dirty tongue and I wholehearted around still wholeheartedly believe that or a brush come back to us you should be brushing your frickin tongue we need we need to you guys be founding sponsors of our pocket ears well I don't know what that means we'll call you that there's absolutely no excuse for nine months a bad bruh say no such a pity save the ad copy for when we've got the deal here frickin tongue and then you and rinse with 50 percent hydrogen peroxide 50% water gargle with that crap once a month they'll never have bad breath I mean I have just saved your life the oldest object for me I just figured it out is it's got to be a t-shirt like I had a every day though until until we until three years ago every day but a lot oh but you had that one that you slept in you know math Olympia tshirt I got when I was in I think sixth grade and I wore it up until three years ago to sleep in every night yeah slept in it because you wanted to feel like a math champion every night yep to balance to balance my jock ashiness oh gosh I didn't say jock itch nests I just want to make sure that can't yeah I knew what you meant but you don't have that anymore you'll have your frickin tongue brush if you don't have you don't have your frickin retainer I feel so betrayed you haven't noticed my teeth are getting crooked I haven't seen your teeth in five years yeah that's why I don't care because you can't see my teeth right my teeth could be any color you can't see him my mouth is covered by my lips my teeth are covered by my lips and then my mustache does the trick as well right total you don't need to use that a total tooth coverage
