5:22 - "I'm listening to the book on my watch" what a strange sentence... Imagine someone in 1983 hearing that.
In sense he's watching a book 😎
Absolutely love it XD XD
lol
Yo
🤣😅
I’ve gotten really used to the three episodes a week, and it made me realize how incredible it is that y’all normally do, and are planning to go back to, five episodes a week. You guys work so hard y’all are awesome!
I was thinking the same thing. I really appreciate it ;)
:’)***
😁yeah there awesome😁
you guys are awesome!!!
"Going into June, I'm going to do a news fast." Man did that not work out.
It’s crazy when you read comments, and then as you read, the person in the video says the quote/comment at the same time.
@@galenwigg783 Its crazy how often that ends up happening!
OMG Yes I noticed that a LOT recently
Bro... u got me with the “I just imagine my body and the soft stuff inside of it”
It got me when he described it using the word gooey
My irrational fear is calcium deficiency. Then again. I'm just a skeleton.
skull joke, yohohoho!
🤣
heg\he\
hjggggggghkjlk
This made my day 😂
I love that little joke
BRB, trying to not have a panic attack over how squishy my insides are.
And she was never heard from again
( ;ﾟдﾟ)
After seeing the video of George, I can't remember a time that I was so angry. For 3 days my hands were shaking I was so mad. Thinking about it now makes them tremble again still.
I get freaked out thinking about the fact that the only thing keeping me alive is my heart beating. How random is that?
2 comments
Also that we only have 2-3mins to live & each breath resets the clock.
why did you make me think about that?! ha
THANKS FOR SHARING. WE REALLY NEEDED TO THINK ABOUT THAT😅
but its not the only thing...
I love the self-reflection and honestly in these podcasts. The empathy that you two have for all humans makes me so hopeful. Thank you for all of the entertainment and stories you bring us. Proud to be a Mythical Beast! 💙
If I walked while listelning to a book I'd definitely end up in a road or a ditch 😕
28:28. It’s called “echo location”. Sonar is through water.
Lily's phobia of whales is valid! Especially if it's because of Finding Nemo. I'm afraid of butterflies to this day because of ONE episode of Spongebob Squarepants
I fear that I'll comment before finishing the podcast and say something really stupid.
The joy in your faces in those episodes were priceless
By the way, I got a nosebleed while they were telling about the fear of blood circulation. Hadn't had one in a year.
I'm TERRIFIED of blood and vampires
9:25 nope. I’m watching this on Sunday
I think Ear Biscuits comes out on podcasting platforms on Mondays and then about a week later (the next Sunday) it comes out on the Ear Biscuits RUclips channel. So they didn’t give any spoilers, because by the time this came out on RUclips, the first studio episode had been out almost a week.
During the quarantine I've started to spend my endless amount of time on a new hobby which is sewing. I've been binging ear biscuits lately to listen to while I sew, and it's such a fun time to listen to my favorite RUclips duo to keep me from getting bored with my needlework. I'm honestly really thankful that Ear Biscuits exist as a refreshing podcast to listen to 😊
ME TOO!! I have furthered my sewing also and I made a whole big quilt recently and listened to lotssss of GMM and Ear Biscuits.
The whale bone is looking good in the background link xD
I have the same problem with bodily function Link. I've always hated seeing veins, feeling pulses, getting blood drawn, etc. Not so much of seeing my blood, like if I get a cut. But the other parts are spot on. It's a part of my Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. You may have OCD too.
I definitely don't have it, judging by how untidy I am, but everything you mentioned scares me, especially blood and *especially* on myself 🥺
“And we can smell each other!”
Your podcasts get me through the night. thank yall for posting
38:20 I relate to these thoughts so badly!! The thought that I can crash my car tomorrow and get squished to death, after living 22 years freaks me out. My body that lasted all these years can just stop. Yikes.
Rhett’s hyperchondriac anxiety is too relatable for me
Someone asked me for Worcestershire sauce when I was a 16-year-old restaurant hostess, and I had no clue what they were trying to say 😂😂
Yes link! Ignorance IS bliss, but it is not just. I don’t compartmentalism well so when I take in too much news it really weighs me down and activates my depression/suicidal thoughts. I wish I could consume more, I even have a degree in public and environmental affairs, but the truth is the news is depressing for myself and many. That being said, it is the right thing to do to stay educated.
The way I. learned to cope with everything was to turn off the tv.. Found GMM . Yes I listen to news occasionally, but not daily. Keep it up, guys. ❤
Even tho I knew it wasnt monday I had to check... God damn, u got me
Gang shit me too lol
Here in the UK we generally just call it 'Wooster Sauce' (phonetically)
Haha so true.
I'd never heard anyone pronounce it the way it's spelt until watching Americans on RUclips
"If somebody starts sucking out your lifeforce, you should be afraid of that" thank you Rhett for your sage wisdom
This podcast gave me new irrational fears
I cant listen to audiobooks at all. I have to have the book.
Same. I have to read, too. My mind wanders too much if I'm just listening to audio. Music is different, I can focus on what I'm listening to then. I just use an old Kindle instead of books, though. One of my workhorse devices. Love that thing.
And I can’t read physical books, I have to listen to the audio. I didn’t read a book for 5 years until I found audiobooks!
Me neither, I've never listened to one and dont ever plan on it, it's not reading, you need a book for that. I do think it's a great tool, if you are blind or elderly though.
For me I have an attention span of -5 seconds, so I can't read *or* listen to books without my mind drifting off, so it's really hard to read/listen to books.
Needless to say I hate English class.
I'm the complete opposite, I'm lucky I'm reading the comment section LOL
The intro music to EB will forever remind me of being pregnant. I suddenly found all my music too hectic and needed something chilled to listen to and EB was it!
You two make me happy, and i hope that you two will get through all your problems and continue being happy! Thank you so much for everything!
Hearing your struggles with Shepard and school is so relatebul. It's incredibly frustrating to constantly be on them to get the work done. The struggle is real and I'm glad we are not alone in it lol
I really, really, liked and appreciated this episode and the conversations. So many topics that I have definitely had, and they seem like such weird thoughts!
It's interesting seeing them begin to process what happened to George Floyd. At the point of this going out they have now been raising money and really bringing a lot to the cause.
I have the exact fear link has except im not scared of blood outside the body(aka when its not flowing)
Ps i have never found anyone with fear before!
I'M ALSO SCARES AND GROSSED OUT BY VEINS AND ALSO I COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING ABOUT IT! I TOLD MY THERAPIST AND HE SAID HE'S NEVER HEARD IT BEFORE! I'm so excited to find another person who does
this should be good but I'm waiting for 'Our Most Rational Fears', that one'll be a BLAST ;)
Simon Olliver 100000%
Never listened to podcasts before, but I really enjoy listening to you guys converse, it's so genuine. Every morning, getting ready for work, I just have to have one of your podcasts on.
Pronounce it like Wooster sheer...I'm British and I still struggle with this word
Same man, I feel like someone dropped the bag of letters when they decided on that spelling 🤣
You guys should consider doing an episode on the Enneagram and your experiences with it. You bring it up on occasion, but I personally would be really fascinated to hear how it has helped you individually.
The joy you both felt filming GMM episodes in the studio again was palpable and it's been the biggest delight of my quarantine to watch them and experience that joy with you!
Edit: I really enjoy these #EarBiscuits episodes where your conversations are inspired by questions from us!
I laughed so hard I cried twice during this weeks episodes. Good to have you back in “full” swing
Earbiscuits is such a down to earth show, I love how open they are about therapy. My other fav podcast is My Favorite Murder and I realized in both the hosts are so open and transparent and they really do ain to connect with people and make people think about things differently and openly
Listening to the new ear biscuits is one of the highlights of my week :)
Never mind, I was enjoying this until Link started talking about the plasma donation (I’m joking of course, but the plasma talk definitely got to me)
Love the content and glad GMM is back all week... 🤙🏽😊🤙🏽
I have an irrational fear of rust, mold, and dirty things because it makes me feel so uncomfortable and kind of weak
rhett saying he has an irrational fear of bats while im sitting here w a lifelong phobia of birds
FunFact: Hermitage is a town in Tennessee that borders Nashville 😁
also there is a hermitage springs . in middle TN but doesn't border Nashville
Thanks I need a fun fact every once and a while 😁😜
And a museum in St. Petersburg, Russia, lol
These Ear Biscuit videos always crack me up bc the guys ALWAYS and I mean ALWAYS get majorly sidetracked with the conversation and it takes them forever to actually get around to what the title says they are going to be discussing. Example: in this video it takes them almost 28 minutes to start talking about fears. I love these goofy guys!
About the bees - the only time I ever got stung, I was playing hide and seek and knelt down onto the bee. I didn't know he was there, and he stung me right in the calf. That's when I found out I'm highly allergic, and I've carried an EpiPen with me since. They can be pretty scary but I'm with Link mostly, you just gotta stay calm.
I really appreciate you guys talking about how that transition from a great day at work to home where there can be frustrations is real.
Ironically, podcasts and audiobooks have taken over music for me, especially in the car on my way to work, or while I, getting ready for work (like now.) it is very soothing, and meditative. I’m glad I’m not the only one that’s come into this stage of life, because it seems to be a “stage of life.” ✌️❤️
Rhett tripping out on his body...omfg, I'm dying!! 😂
That happens to me too but usually I'm high lol
OMG yes!! When Rhett talked about “thinking about your body and what’s inside you” freaking you out! I have those thoughts too!
It's so crazy that you mentioned the North Pond Hermit again. I think about that all the time! I wrote a hobbit style song about it and I read articles about it and stuff after you all talked about it. lol
Per usual, hit like a minute in. 5:09 am. Just another zero sleep night - my 2020 pandemic life. It's a thing, right?
Good episode, y'all. A few points.
• Audio books are just as much “read” as a paper book or an e-book.
• I know that when you say you’re “tired of” your family, you don’t mean that you don’t love them or want them around. However, it’s still hard to hear because it sounds that way to someone who lives alone.
• My irrational fears: clowns, music boxes, blowing up balloons, stepladders, being injured or dying alone, and “soft” floors.
Ironically, since their podcasts are so soothing to listen to, talking about their irrational fears relaxes me and puts me to sleep.
I am listening Link, tyvm lol. I just used my free credit to download the book Rhett suggested. I hope I weep so I know I have a heart... No pressure.
I’M ALSO AFRAID OF BLOOD FLOW 😱 Link actually described my fear pretty well. Blood in itself doesn’t freak me out too much but I CANNOT get my blood drawn or look at veins or look at images and videos of blood and gore 😰
Same here and this is why vampires are my biggest fear 🥺
I e taken Valium, I have gas on my nose and I'm at the dentist about to get my top teeth removed....I'm still scared. I am trying to find something to listen to and this was the best thing to my knowledge. Thank you for being with me during one of my worst fears. You are the best.
I have a fear of whales too!! I thought I was the only one. My friends make fun of me lol
41:05 I think Link was looking for the phrase "fishing around for a vein". I've had to get lab work done since I was 12 and when you get a newbie that's nervous it can be painful.
So during my journey within to embrace my true self, I stepped against my number one fear. Now I’ve been to Iraq in 2003, I’ve been shot at for hours and blown up by a grenade in my sleep; let me tell you, I was deathly afraid of bees. Sure....I watched my friend get gunned down by wasps long before the movie My Girl came out. But the root was how that was the only memory I had of my best friend. He never died but once I felt ready to fight the fear for good, I just drew a 3D image of a wasp and hung it up on the wall. Surprisingly, I feel compelled to put my hand out towards a bee. Lol. To this day never been stung so irrational indeed.
I lived out by those windmills, I have some amazing photos of the weather going through them...
I’m actually listening to this while exercising haha
While texting
Bailey Ashlyn omg same i’m literally on my treadmill as we speak lol
Same👍
Good for you guys I am sitting on the couch watching this
I’m not gonna lie this comment made me get up and listen to this on a run, so thank you kind stranger for inspiring me!
Gmm: US and Stevie are back in the studio.
Ear biscits: Stay home forever
I read that book and as an introvert I understood on some level why he isolated himself. I don’t think I could survive at the extremes that he did. The ending though really was tough to get through.
I highly recommend it!
I legit got queasy listening to Link's irrational fear - I have the same fear too!
I've never had an issues with bees...i housesit for ppl who have their own hive..would go up real close to take super close photos of them...was fine, until 2 months ago, went outside to hang the washing on the line, nowhere near the hive and I was suddenly swarmed and immediately stung, in the scalp by a dozen of them. They kept flapping around and getting caught in my hair...was awful...yet I'm still not so scared of them.for some reason.
Always love ear biscuits... I was born in the County in question. And it's Woostershure... The shire sound is a shuure. Ear biscuits is my fave mythical product!
I feel that fear of heights. Great of my own height. Sometimes there's that railing that's good enough for most people but because I'm 6'3" I could just keep my feet flat on the floor and bend straight over some of these. More of a tripping hazard than a barrier.
I also have a fear of whales and it was weirdly comforting to hear Link mention that his daughter does too
Same for me... I have a fear of whales, cargo ships and submarines😨😅
I have a herniated disc and arthritis in my back as well as arthritis in my knee and I found this out at...17 and 16 respectively (currently 22). So I definitely feel Rhett’s, pretty much, anxiety to the fact that my life will be and is now different because of something I can’t really get rid of that easily
I’m doing school work and watching you you make it better thank you for doing ear biscuits and please do more 👍🏽
I fear blood circulation also, it's so strange. Like I can't stand feeling or hearing my own heart beat. Also my veins creep me out. It doesn't make sense because I'm pretty okay with blood at least in horror movies... but not the nightmare on elm Street if you get the part I'm referring too.
I kinda get it, but it's more like because I would be thinking about blood vessels being slit, which makes my skin crawl
Bro same. If I hear a heartbeat of any kind I get extremely nauseous. Someone says anything about veins, arteries, or even if I just see one on my body I CANNTTTTT. I physically cannot get my blood pressure taken without unconsciously freaking out. My teachers in high school knew I needed be excused from any classes where that kind of thing was discussed.
But like if I see someone bleeding or blood on the floor or something I’m like “okay let’s fix this real quick” with no fear??? It’s literally just the concept of things happening inside bodies that’s wayyy too much.
Talked to a doctor about it and he said it’s probably related to claustrophobia???
@@amandanachman1406 Yeah same! I think Rhett was actually on to something with his opinion on it talking about how we have like zero control over the mass amount of vital parts of our body and if it just stops it stops and that's it, nothing you can do. That's also interesting because I have a fear (I guess everyone else's does also) of being buried under ground trapped...Also being stranded out in the middle of the Atlantic no sight of land then some sort of Cracken or squid pulls me down to the bottom of the sea..... Dark stuff I know but maybe your Dr. Could be on to something.
It's the "Nothing you can do" I think that is the point of interest there. But again it's so strange to hear your own heart beat and what to throw up like it's a cruel joke lol. :)
@@yasaiaisa8363 yeah I don't like the thought of blood that is supposed to be inside the body being outside of it... But for me it's not really about that it's the pulse, it's clock ticking, it's the metronome of life and the paralyzing fear of realising that you have zero control over it. It's so strange. Like I'm not so scared of death , like I don't welcome the thought but I fully understand it as much as a mortal human could I guess but the fact I have basically zero control over the thing that keeps me alive freaks me out. It's so weird to dislike the sound of one's own heart beat.
So I have a pretty bad phobia of vomiting and over the years watching GMM has actually helped me improve on that. I still have a lot of fear surrounding it but it’s more manageable now. So, thanks Link 😅
I start to get really freaked out by blood flow too sometimes. Also breathing. If I become too overly aware of my heart beating or my breathing, it can start to really freak me out. I can't do those breathing exercises that people tell you to do for anxiety, because being aware of my own breathing can give me anxiety
Oh my gosh! I just read stranger in the woods like a month ago, it’s a fantastic book, I highly recommend it.
thanks Parker ☺
I've had the discussion with friends if audiobooks count as "read". I say yes but others don't, giving the rationale that the interpretation of the dialog isn't mine so it doesn't count.
I had to have an ultrasound for varicose veins...what should’ve been a 10 minute procedure took 2 hours, because I kept feeling faint at the sound of my blood flowing...I’m with you, Link.
That sounds awful! I can get through those arm-squeezy blood pressure things, but just barely. It freaks me out to feel my own pulse 😖

i love how rhett and link are so eloquent and so immature at the sane time lmao
I love that Rhett is sitting in the skynwallz room and he’s on his side aswell. He’s really blending in
This sounds way more like body and health anxiety, rather than specifically blood flow.
I work at a vets office on the weekends and over the summer I can get blood of a cow from head to toe all over me, but anyone talking about human blood i gag and i almost pass out. One of the techs i work with had to preform CPR on her bestfriends son who was dying and he died and she said Human blood just hits different and I completely understand that. Human blood just hits different. There is just something about it that makes it ten times harder to deal with.
Y’all could get Josh to make food at his house & then get him to do no contact deliver to the studio as if you got normal food delivery from a restaurant
My bizarre phobia is a fear of very high ceilings. The first time was when I was around 5, I had gone with my mom to a gym a few times while she played volleyball. One day while we were leaving, I just happened to glance up at the ceiling, and was so shocked at how high it was. I had never noticed before. Suddenly I felt out of balance and I fell backwards fainting. Since then, I have a very dizzy feeling if I'm in a building with a high ceiling, and I get so scared that I will faint again that I go into a panic attack.
My son, when small, looked up at the St Louis arch..ever since he can look up high. Wears baseball cap just incase. Hes 50 now but still has mild phobia.
You won't feint. Looking up high can really throw off your eyes and therefore make it harder to balance. It's nothing wrong with you personally. I find looking up at the sky at night has the same effect for many many people.
Great episode, all the way around.
Both of y’all are such good listeners 💖
Rhetts hair looks phenomenal
This story about the plasma donation is making me queezy
1 comment
I know the whole getting weak just thinking about blood circulation. I don't faint personally, but I feel squeazy. It's common enough that our biology teacher warned us when we started with human circulatory system. "If you start feeling weak feel free to say so. There has been multiple fainters when we have gone through with this". And no it's not seeing blood. It was just pictures. Ok at one point we took a bloodtype test but that didn't really bother me. It was a prick on the finger. The explanation of the circulatory system just messes with something in my mind and makes me feel weak
I think ignorance is bliss should be amended to “there’s bliss in ignorance” because it’s part of it not a direct one to one comparison
There's kind of an unwritten rule that when you're in x-ray school, if your first reaction to a broken bone/blood dripping/etc isn't "cool, that's interesting" it's not the field for you. People that faint at blood make no sense to me.
I also have no fear of any "dangerous" animals (snakes, spiders, bears, tigers), but I can't stand mice lol
I can one-up you, Link. I donated plasma and they stuck the needle through both sides of my vein. Then readjusted it without actually pulling it out... So when they pumped the saline into my arm while returning blood, it went into my arm instead of my vein like it was supposed to. My arm was inflating like a balloon and I had to rip the needle out because my skin was literally getting tight and looked like it was about to pop. Then because I pulled the needle out, my blood spurted everywhere. How's that lol
Love the question videos but maybe mixed in whith other types as well occasionally👍
I have had this exact needle experience during a plasma session. Momentarily blacked out to.
Wind turbines don’t move as fast as people think, there are motors in them that prevent them from moving too fast. My brother actually is a wind turbine technician and one of the people who actually go to the top of them and fix them.
