I think the 'creepy' question is referring to the unsettling, beneath-the-surface 'sense' that something is a little bit 'off' about a person, not necessarily something odd about their appearance - the way Link is describing it. It can be something as overt as someone's strange behavior or as subtle as the way they make you feel when you're around them - like, as nice as they seem, you wouldn't want to be alone with them.
Perfect explanation. It’s the feeling of your 6th sense alarm going off about a person
This EXACTLY!
Could just be someone misunderstood. Creepiness is your perception with your own flaws built into that judgment.
I'd agree with Rhett that creepiness is a lot subtler than someone making goofy faces
Anirudh Silai Yeah like, a person standing in a dark room with eerie music. It’s the vibe of the situation, not the appearance of the person.
" I wanna roll around my house like a slug and control my lights " 😂😂😂 also, stop making all my Google products go off!
I could see Rhett's setting for when Link comes over just be some sort of disappointed stock sound (wah-wah-waaaah or a sad whistle) before going back to normal
forreal! every time they said "okay google" my phone reacted, lol :)
I agree with Rhett about creepiness, it's not something quantifiable. Link kept going on about a person's appearance, but that's not necessarily what makes a person creepy. You feel it.
Link did not understand...
No. You thinm you're feeling it but really you're just reading micro expression. For example the pacing or timing of somebody blinking can be extremely uncomfortable if its off pace of the conversation.
Think*
@@ethanstrudwick9617 Link was not talking about "micro expressions", he was talking about the way you look. Like, your face is gaunt, or your teeth, or whatever. Did you even listen?
Certain people just give off creepy vibes.
It's sorta the "uncanny valley" effect. Sociopaths are good at mimicry and can do a good job of pretending to have certain emotions. However, because they inherently lack empathy some people can see through it and it becomes creepy. Just my two cents.
I think that's pretty valid
Link has a pretty cartoonish idea of what makes people creepy lmao
Thanks for dimming my lights at my home Rhett...
@@nolanjarzynka8727 ah rack off
It opened my Google too but I was driving...he got confused
Happened to me too lol
OK Google, dim the lights in the Ear Biscuits studio. :)
I guess im randomly asking but does anybody know of a method to get back into an instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot my password. I love any assistance you can give me.
@Jaxon Jerry instablaster ;)
@Dillon Gregory I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out now.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Dillon Gregory It worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my account!
@Jaxon Jerry happy to help :)
Me: wakes up at 4:00am
"Now is the perfect time to listen to an Ear Biscuit".
Natalie Madrigal i went through the exact same process this morning 😂
Pretty much lmao
While getting ready for work and during work 👍🏼
literally me rn woah ahaha
Literally same
I'm 25 minutes in and I'm just worried for Link's safety lol. He is apparently lacking the primal instincts needed to clock an undercover creep.
🤣🤣🤣!!
I agree with Rhett. I often can't explain why I don't like a person on place. But every time I didn't trust my gut I regret it
I swear it's the second time Link said Ben and Jerry died but they're both living
I just thought he meant that they sold the company....
I love how Rhett thinks and describe "creepy" It is like a vibe a person protrudes and it really bugs me that Link doesn't get it and keeps on interrupting !! GOSH !
Rhett, it's their aura. You feel their energy. And, Link, get on board
One can give off creepy vibes without looking or doing anything creepy at all.
I think that creepy thing is mostly very subtle body language cues that you don't pick up on consciously, but subconsciously there's something a bit off about the patterns.
Stop dimming my li...wait I don't have a Google Assistant...
@@ellamk9289 r/Whooosh
creepiness cannot always be quantified as Link is describing, but it’s always definitely a hormonal, intuitive, feeling. you guys are giving solid advice about trusting intuition, that will save lives.
Also consider studies about ovulating women. Strippers get tipped so much more when they’re ovulating than when they’re not. There’s something biological about us that can unconsciously sense these things.
It's from a combination of every sense working together, subtle hints and actions that make you think someone is mentally unstable or dangerous or outside the norm of how "trustable" people act.
I get what Link is saying about people looking creepy, but there's a difference from looking creepy and being creepy. That's what Rhett is talking about. Sure, you can think a person looks creepy, but if you don't talk to them, or at least observe them, you wont be able to tell if they're actually being creepy. Because what Link is saying is just judging someone's looks, and looks don't make the person. It's the brain that makes the person. And sure, looks still can determine if you think someone is creepy or not, but that can totally change when you talk to them. That's why people say not to judge a book by it's cover. There are also differences between people and what they think is creepy. Some people may see a socially awkward person and think they're creepy because of it. Some people wont. But what it comes down to is if you feel unsettled by a person. In a sense, both of them are right.
This comment is spot on
Link made everybody dumber with the creepy discussion... its amazing.
I think Link is talking about creepy in an innocent sense, where Rhett is talking about creepy is a much more devious or malicious sense.
Like how Mark Zuckerberg’s mannerisms make him look like he is wearing his skin as a suit and trying to do the most generic ideas of humanism to pass himself off. Instead it makes him look bizarre
Yea and he's sack of dried up horse shit on a hot summer day but the dude went to harvard
I am never putting that unnecessary smart stuff in my home it's very creepy and 1984ish to me.
I am with you, brother. I already don't like to talk where my phone can hear me...
Ur stupid it controlas lights halmes
I'll talk to my google assistant, but google home is a bit too much for me.
Agreed. I refuse to use things like that, cell phones are bad enough in my opinion.
I don’t feel comfortable with Google monitoring my house. Seems kind of dystopian.
I don't know if it's dystopian. In sci-fi stories it might lead to a dystopia, but do we really have anything to fear? Would being part of the singularity/Borg be that bad?
@@officialgoogleyoutube yes
1984
it's not about the face, it's the vibe guys
I think it’s creepy that Rhett wants to be only person in his house that can turn lights on/off 😂
Massive power move 🤣
I think it's creepy that you think that is creepy.
its a guy thing
Hotpockets 222 kinda like the grown up version of playing with toys. Instead it’s tools etc😂. Hey, I’d invite him to play at my house to do that!😃
it's because he wants to be the brightest.
I thought Link was giving Rhett the finger before I realised that they where actually blurring out Jade's tags. 😂😂😂
Thanks Rhett, for reminding me to trust my instincts and to not judge myself based on my instinct. I'm *always* right when I sense something about a person, but if it's something negative I tell myself that I must just be a judgmental person.
My top pick events for dad triathlon: dad jokes, napping, and dart.
Listening to two friends casually talking to each other about something as simple as lighting is what I live for with this podcast
This was so hilarious you guys talking about people who are creep artists lol
But I think what link was trying to say about the eyes is you can tell if someone cares if that makes sense through their eyes. If you’ve ever seen someone extremely high or drunk they lose that vision of “Care” which might be why people may do things they won’t normally do sober. And serial killers have those eyes where they don’t “care” and is probably why they have killed with no remorse..
These 2 have those childhood memories we all wish we had.
The best definition for something being creepy is getting a feeling that you don't know what that person/something wants or its motives.
It's so funny how they talk about their ideas of a smart home. Link is so practical and for Rhett it's all about the fun of it being so cool :D
And I am with Link when he says that Rhett won't ever do all of that. Lol! I just love how they think about things and how they talk to each other :D
Cool
*I wanna roll around like a slug and speak to my house.*
Priorities.
If someone is staring at you while covering their eyebrows and nose, run 🏃
Why was my first thought of someone covering only their eyebrows and nose with their hands ?
Is bray Wyatt in the room
"That person is hot BECAUSE they're creepy." And I live by that.
One of the funniest episodes in a while, and thats tough to do. Classic R&L.
Just glad to see Jade’s here. Hi jade!
From a woman's perspective, rarely is buggy eyes the reason we find someone creepy. Usually it's lack of personal space, where their eyes fall and move, posture, etc
So socially awkward people...
Not necessarily, but sometimes. It's usually easy to tell the difference between someone who is innocently awkward and someone who is creepy.
*First off, Happy Mother's Day to all the Mythical Beasts and their families!*
*Secondly, nothing like a relaxing Ear Biscuits on a slightly, chilly, rainy Sunday! :)*
I don’t think Link understands the intuition of someone being creepy or not. He’s describing the bad guy in a horror movie! Rhett’s right you can find the most put together and attractive person but they can be creepy. It’s not a visual thing it’s a feeling you get or a vibe.
I looked up "How can I be as cool as Link?" I only got ads for a Dyson air purifier
If this world is a stimulation, I don't think I would leave. I'd be extremely curious to see the other side but absolutely terrified. What's if it's worse outside of the simulation like Link said? For the most part, I'm comfortable where I am now. If everyone around me are robots, I think I would still stay here. I know and understand this world. I don't want to know the unknown if I can't come back. There's nothing that would make me enter the unknown.
They also didn't consider the fact that potentially we are all just simulated beings in a simulation, in which case there is no escape from the simulation.
Yeah, if it is, I wouldn’t leave because I have no idea what is out there and frankly, I don’t want to know. I’m fine here with my family, with my friends, and with my dogs. 😊
Between Rhett and Link, Link would make a great serial killer.... not saying he has the face for it but he does. Unfortunately, Link can't handle knives well or any weapon so he'll probably hurt himself before others.
i’ve been a rhett and link fan for like 8 years and i still get their children mixed up (it’s those damn L names)
I think a lot of creepiness comes down to lack of adherence to social norms, even in very subtle ways. For example, it's not considered socially acceptable to stare at people. Even though staring in itself isn't harmful, the fact that the person is breaking that social norm, it makes you question what other norms they're likely to break. And that makes you feel creeped out.
I wonder if Ben would be doing Mythical with them ='(
I wish the channel had more subscribers. This podcast is so awesome
The number of subscribers listed here is just for the RUclips video version. Since this is an actual 'podcast', a lot more people just listen to it on Spotify or iTunes - so the numbers are probably much higher.
When link comes to rhetts house he should have it play the curb your enthusiasm theme
Lmfao
Well some studies say that 95% of our communication is subconscious stuff we pick up in dialogue, tone, or body language lol.
Not going to bet on it or source. But our brains pick up on a lot of things. You do get that instinct gut feeling. It is there for a reason.
Honestly, the way you guys brought up in natural dialogue from both sides, humorous yet educational, very open.
Sometimes it is wrong for those that struggle socially. But also the whole "woman intuition" is a wild concept 🤦♀️🤪
The OA has quickly become my new favorite show since the second season came out. Really happy to see more people connecting to it that I haven't had to force to watch haha.
I get that sleep jerk thing too! Always wondered what that is.
There was a 2001 movie called Antitrust starting Ryan Philippe and Tim Robbins. There was a cool scene where artwork on the walls would change based on the presence of who was in the room. If only....
"I don't wanna walk at all...I just wanna roll around and talk to my house..."😅🤣🤣😂😂 I spit my drink haha ugh lolol
These guys are just so great, kind, honest and funny.
Link isn’t getting the creepy thing.. he’s just thinking about physical appearance and just stereotypical creepiness. Creepy is a VIBE when you just know that normal looking person is into some unsettling shit.
Thanks for dimming my lights Rhett
rhett, being the curious type, i wonder if you would find learning about the 4th dimension interesting. it’s a pretty wild concept.
When Rhett said okay Google my phone actually stopped and Google piped up.
Alright. 10mins in. They've set of my home 10 times, started some random song and turned off lights/turned on lights. And made my home say "I don't know that yet" like 5 times. Sheesh 😂😂
When I type "how can I be as" into Google, the first suggested search is "how can I be as cool as link". Apparently, many people wish to be as cool as the Serpent King.
I think that children and dogs are the best judge of this based on instinct in some cases. I think as adults sometimes we think too much and don't just purely listen to our instincts what if a child or a dog have a problem with a person then there is probably a reason
lol this podcast is activating my google mini non stop :D
I think what Rhett was referring to is ‘nonverbal cues’. At LEAST 70% of all forms of communication is nonverbal. What we tend to pick up on when we sense someone’s character traits comes from the nonverbal cues the person naturally, unknowingly elicits. Each person picks up on these things to various degrees, and often, people who have been through some form of abuse or even some cases of trauma, adapt to becoming more subconsciously sensitive to nonverbal cues as a form of self-protection from people who might hurt them again.
70%!? I knew that nonverbal communication was higher than most people think, but 70% is crazy!
@@FeelslikeHalloween Some research speculates it to be an upwards of 93%, but I was taught at least 70% in uni. It’s a lot, but the more you think about it, it’s plausible.
This made an awful day so much better. Thank you
I hope your day gets better :-)
Actually Rhett saved the conversation by making it funny again at 21:50
I think it’s when people just move unnaturally, like they’re thinking too much or something. Like animals, if they turn their head to look around they have a like instinctually reason to, they’re not thinking consciously about their movements. Idk I agree w Rhett it’s very subtle.
Rhett made my living room light turn on and dim. thanks homie.
1:13 "Looks like those lights haven't been setup yet. You can do that in the Google home app" Thanks Rhett
Holy shit I cried at Ben's part it's just... I relate.
My friends and I would just go to the river and boat it all the time on our own, we did t even really ask our parents we just left. I grew up in a small town and people just kinda let their kids do whatever
Seriously?! Rhett.. “hey google dim living room lights”, my living room lights just dimmed
The amount of times I had to tell my Google home "Okay Google, stop" so it wouldn't complete the commands they were saying 😂
It’s so soothing to me to hear y’all talk about your childhood/when you all were growing up
As soon as Rhett said "it's not for everyone" I said "bet it's The OA" and then he said "it just started season 2" I was like ok it's for sure The OA. Such a wonderful show that deals with heavy topics and different genres. It's fantastic, keep an open mind and give it a go.
I understand what Link is trying to describe with the eye expression. Some people believe being able to see the upper part of white of the eye (above the iris) can indicate psycopathic tendancies. Kind of a "wild eye" look.
My google home is losing it's mind because of this video lmfao even when I have the volume superrrrr low and the device is way across the room...wtf? Lil scary haha
When Link said "ok Google turn on the *mumbling sounds* light" it turned on my bedroom lights in Finland.
I don't know about creepy, but I have been told I have "crazy eyes" and I also know that I have a tendency to stare while I'm thinking and I end up staring at people without realizing it and I think that makes them uncomfortable. I can vouch for the fact that I'm probably a little creepy.
Blink by Malcolm Gladwell talks about human's ability to pick up on unspoken subconscious cues (making snap judgements/gut instincts) and how it's very reliable
Rhett definitely understood the assignment. Link on the other hand.... he was just focusing on the physical, not the overall "feeling" that someone is creepy but you can't explain why.
15:45 Rhett is talking about the book Gift of Fear by Gavin de Becker.
I hypothesize that the answer to this episode's central question is a combination of two factors.
One is recognizing body language and other tics. As with what Link said, to survive as a species we've evolved to recognize threats. I would have to guess that how we do this has to do with part evolution and genes (like how humans are basically designed to fear snakes. They gots venom), part of it is experience. We may learn to recognize creep factors, whether we realize it or not, based on our experiences. You see the way your, say, abusive stepmother held herself and you categorize that posture as threatening in a folder of your mind.
The other factor is, I think, human error. As in we create self-fulfilling prophecies and scenarios where certain people are more-or-less encouraged to be creeps; We convince ourselves that insignificant things certain people do are tells of creepiness so that we can confirm our own suspicions. Human beings are incredibly intelligent, but we're also still animals. We're not logic machines. We create scenarios knowing, subconsciously, that we're either fated to succeed or fail (depending on your disposition). We are eternal victims to our own humanity.
Yes, that was pretentious and self-indulgent. I get my kicks that way. It makes me happy.
Whether you think you will win or you will lose, you're right.
@@vincedibona4687 Right. We shape the world to our preference, even if our preference is for the world to be against us (I think we all either think that way or know someone like that). I think that's a huge part of what makes the people so interesting to me. Our intellect is so great (how many other species on Earth could figure out what a quark is?), yet ultimately limited. If you look at all of history, has humanity been able to agree on one thing? Is there idea that all people have agreed with throughout history? Is Western culture evolving, or are we just in an empathetic phase? Does it matter?
I think we "smell the creepy" w/o being aware of it.
You know what make's someone creepy?
Well, apparently RUclips does, because they've been pushing me to listen to this for a week!
-_-
37:00 when I was 16, I drove from Minnesota to Florida with my 16 year old friend. That's literally across the country.
Didn't dim my lights like others have said because I was actually listening to this throughout the house on my homes, so when you said "okay google" it paused for a second and continued. Say "okay Google play the latest ear biscuits podcast" to listen to yourself. You may need to append from youtube if it is the first time. On another note I have taken the xbox one kinect (great camera sold really cheap considering the equipment it comes with) and used the free sdk Microsoft provides to interact and log data using facial recognition. Perfect for security.
I'm listening to this on my phone and when Rhett said "Hey Google, Sandra" it activated my phones voice control and stopped the episode 😂😂
All I know from working in an outpatient hospital setting... there are some serious creeps around. They may smile and speak politely but... you just don't ever want to be alone with them. It's all in the eyes.
Absolutely!
When a person smiles, especially a large smile, but their eyes do not smile with their mouth. THAT is a creepy person.
When Rhett keeps setting your Google Home off. Lol. I have to keep telling her to stop.
Dang I am so loving Rhett even more!!!
Almost every day while walking from my car to my office, I meet a man. I've no idea who he is. We've never spoken. But, he creeps me out to the point of sometimes crossing to the other sidewalk to avoid being within striking distance. He resembles Rick Moranis, who isn't creepy-looking at all. It's definitely a feeling, a sense, a vibe, and has nothing to do with what the person looks like in the least.
My god the amount of times my Google Hone went off at 1am is insane
I knew Rhett would like *The OA.* I love it too. So weird but in a great way. #EarBiscuits
P.S. It's rated R.
Link is so unbelievably oblivious that it’s sad
Having an elmo impression
What's creepy is that you guys are making my Google Home talk....
I've been able to tell who is or isn't trustworthy 100% of the time. My friends in high school told me they noticed how I would seem a little "off" around certain people. These people would turn out to be not so nice. For some, I was able to sense something wrong years before anything actually happened.
Sometimes it's as if I know how someone will turn out long before they know.
There have been times where I really, really wanted to be wrong... but I have yet to be wrong.
