Ear Biscuits is criminally underrated.
Ramen eating Lizard Same!
Ramen eating Lizard I listen to it in the background while doing other activities, and when I hear something they say that’s funny I laugh! Never knew that podcasts can be so entertaining in ways you’d least expect..
@@mauricemoss5277 you can listen and sleep at the same time? Teach me your skills. Haha jk
@@QuincyJones420 lol,I don't really listen,the bckgroundnoise is calming
facts
Rhett is like my dad was growing up. When a ligh bulb burned out, he said it had absorbed all the dark it could hold. He tried to convince me that a light bulb absorbed the darkness instead of emitting light. Things like that.
Amanda Hammack That’s actually pretty cool haha
@Amanda Hammack .. I laughed so hard for like 3 minutes. You're dad seems is hilarious
My husband does that...it can be funny at the time but I FAR too often end up having to explain to my kids that the information their dad gave them was wrong. Its all fun and games until you have to sit down your 6 year old to watch a mini documentary on how man and dinosaurs weren't alive at the same time.....stemming from dino nuggets....🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
@@dcbabe0270 omg 😝
“When you’re constantly lied to, you tend to be a free spirit” put that on a T-shirt and I’d buy it 😂😂😂
I'm gonna put a time-stamp here because i love coming back to this video and just listening to this bit! 17:51
Hahahaha so good
i started listening to ear biscuits while falling asleep and its the best decision ive made so far in 2019
Try it while youre waking up its also an amazing experience
Me too, but I also like to listen in the car towards work, or even at work, it makes time fly by :)
Me too
Ivy Noelle oh my god I thought I was the only one?! Literally the best thing to do.
Me too :)
Link: I don't like numbers
Also Link: **holds a degree in engineering**...
I absolutely hate numbers and I'm getting my degree in Economics.
It's a sad world when you love some aspects of what you're studying, while completely despise the majority of it ahaha
As a teacher, I am not afraid to have kids. I just don't want my own. The maternal instinct is there for everyone else, but the thought of having my own kids makes me tired and sad just thinking about it. Our lives are ever changing things. Do whatever is best for you. Don't just have kids because people expect you to or because you want someone to love you.
Kris Postava as a student still I hate school but I had a teacher who would treat us just like her children because she couldn’t have children so your story just reminds me of this😂☺️
This is relatable 😳
Sugar water: *spills*
Rhett: *does NOT do well with that*
I love his wording sometimes haha
Just to despute your point of "not making those memories beating zelda". Im 26. And some of my fondest childhood memories are of me and my parents sitting at night (like 8pm or so) playing zelda ocarina of time on the nintendo 64. Its not as much about the game (even though its the greatest game ever made) but the bonding experience of doing so. The experience of being alone with my parents after my baby sis was put to bed, and them actually caring about my interests.
Fun fact, we actually sorta recreated this a couple of years ago, and completed the game once again as a family. Which was a lot of fun, with all of us being adults.
I'm 37 and I fondly remember playing Atari with my dad as a kid.
One of my best and oldest memories is from 3 years old playing grand turismo on a pull out sofa in the living room at night with my parents on the PS1, eating chips ahoy chewy cookies for the first time.
I didn't really spend time with my parents as a child, but I have 8 siblings and the best memory I have is of all of us, sitting down at 4pm, playing maplestory and gathering up in a party and fighting a boss. 2 of my siblings couldn't be there, and the other 2 hadn't been born yet, but all 5 of us were having a blast.
Well the thing is, his son is pretty much just playing the game on his own, they're not creating memories together.
It's been 3 years since you made this comment but it means a lot to me, thanks for reminding me to slow down and take a moment to spend quality time with my loved ones. (also ocarina of time is absolutely the best game ever made)
39:45 for Rhett’s kids testing him to prove he had a sibling order bias. It was so funny 😂
When Link talks about the vetos, I fell in love with him all over again. Keeping score never improves a relationship.
Time stamp?
Links wife is a lucky lady
He is SUCH a good husband. Just watch how he talks about his wife in the ear biscuits episode called “a look into our marriages”
"Ultimately Amber, I think what we're saying is.. good luck with that" 🤣
As the oldest child I absolutely haaaattteeed the “with more age comes with more responsibility” talk but as an adult I get it now 😂
Iris Cuevas I think that with more responsibility should come more prevlige
So strange seeing this few views on a Rhett and link vid of any kind. Thank you for brightening my life on a daily basis!
They're reuploads
yo I'm 16 I still say, love you and give my mum and dad a kiss on the cheek when I go to bed. love my parents.
No shame in giving love to the people that raised you and gave you love
I'm 25 and I tell everyone in my family that I love them. Still kiss both my parents on the lips. I tell my friends that I love them too. Nothing wrong with putting more love out there into the world.
I have a one 1 year old son and I think about his inevitable teenage years a lot. I always thought it was weird to find showing affection to your parents as a teen "embarrassing". But whenever my son lifts his arms for me to pick him up or comes and lies on top of me and just falls asleep I always get a little sad cause I know he wont be nearly as affectionate when hes in his teens. But hearing someone in that age range saying they still do stuff like that warms my heart and gives me hope maybe he still will when he's that age.
@@mayyysee i hope he does it
@@mayyysee that’s so sweet! I hope he does.
My baby loves to fall asleep to this show. It is a double-edged sword, however, when he wakes up to Rhett singing "I'll be there for youuuu" XD
I have severe insomnia and I’ve tried many methods to fall asleep and stay asleep but nothing really works (melatonin affected my hormones too much) and I began this year watching GMM again and now I can only fall asleep listening to any of their videos. Like I seriously can’t sleep at night if I don’t have them playing in the background. I don’t even watch the video I just play it and flip to the side and I fall asleep so peacefully. They honestly have saved me and I’m so incredibly happy I started watching GMM.
It's very true that if you've stopped doing sonething or talking about something with family or a loved one that it's hard to get it back..... especially if a lot of time has passed. I felt that to my very core.
Thank you for being you, Rhett and Link..💙
I most definitely agree.
This video deserves more attention. Such gold. Love these two.
Wow these guys are amazing fathers. I don't know if their kids realise how insanely lucky they are. I wish my father was like either one of them instead of what I had to deal with and now trying to deal with all the damage
Im the younger and when my brother wants something he tells me " go ask (mom/dad) for that( he/she) loves you more cuz you are the younger so they will give it to you " and the thing is they do give me things i ask for more often than my big brother
I'm an only child and my parents were both a little older when I was born (my dad was 35 and my mom was almost 31, so not super old just like older than most of my friends parents [you have babies young in the south]). I never got "The Talk" from either of them, though my mom did buy me that American Girl book about puberty so that was something. It was also weird cause as a little kid I was def treated as an "oldest kid" but as I got older they began to treat me more as a "youngest kid" which i think may be due to the fact that I'm an only child and they realized i wasn't about to die at the drop of a ha.
My dad still tries to get me to believe stupid stuff and I just have to turn to my mom and be like "is he telling the truth?"
Seanathon I relate to this so much. I’m an only child and my parents expect me to be mature, but they treat me like a baby (I still love them though). My parents were 40 and 45 when I was born, which all my other friends parents are pretty much 20 years younger then them.
Link, the answer to your question “Does it go the other way?” Yes. We lost a son in 2018. He was stillborn in a freak accident with his umbilical cord. We have since had a rainbow baby. A daughter, and I feel like I need to be more deeply involved. Even while I was pregnant. It was and is totally different than my first son.
Does anyone like Ear Biscuits more than GMM? Cause I do
I love all of the episodes (not just in Ear Biscuits) where both of you share things that were experienced together, new ideas thought out spontaneously, etc. So wonderful and warm because of the deep friendship! Thank you for sharing it with all of RUclips! Very sadly underated! Best wishes!
1:03:05 "We didn't really believe in pamphlets in general in my family." Lmao
I was just at Bush Intercontinental Airport in Humble Texas and i could have sworn i saw Rhett. Probably not but definitely a doppelgänger.
when they were talking about the oldest child getting more strict treatment and wondering If it went the opposite way it does I'm the youngest with my twin brother my mom always let my big brother get away with everything he always got what he wanted and shew as more strict with us even though we were younger so sometimes it goes both ways.
In my family, the oldest comes first lol
As in.. they got away with the most and were favored lol
Boy do I understand that mother and turning up the volume to drown out her kid. There are only so many times you can ask your child to be quiet, especially when you aren't busy, before you feel like you are going to hurt their feelings. It's a creative way to pause a conversation to give your mind a few minutes of mental peace. Then you can listen for another hour or two. 😆
My parents got more strict I’m the youngest of 3 and the only girl. My brothers got away with everything I was on a short leash. My kids now.... exactly like that less strict with my youngest lol
Link mentioning the zit band aid mid convo is so adorable
„ I kept saying: „Got it??“ lol 😂 10:16
Maybe it was just own my parents' fragile dynamic growing up (to put it gently), but I find you both to be incredibly generous husbands and fathers. This might sound too frank, but really, most women have kids and very few of them have partners who are capable of being supportive AND earn as much as you both do. From what little I know about you two, it seems to me that your wives are the lucky ones :) Yet you view yourselves as being selfish for focusing on GMM (aka making money, to put it bluntly) while they do the majority of the parenting. This is my own opinion but if a guy were willing to be the sole money maker of the household, I'd take joy in focusing on being a mom. This is why I enjoy listening to you two speak. Every episode is entertaining but you always say something new to make me respect you guys even more.
🤣 my birds and the bees "talk" was much the same as Links which is sad considering mum is a nurse! She had this book that was always on the bookshelf growing up so as we would look for books to read growing up, I found it...when i was pretty young actually..probably 7 or 8...and it had pretty graphic sketches inside of what the bodies looked like and how things fit where...so as a kid, we would hide the fact we knew of it from our siblings and from mum...but whenever we had friends over...we would grab a book from tge bookshelf and hide in the bedroom and start giggling over the pictures together! Being kids, we didnt know the specifics of it, just the general mechanics I guess, which was all spoken about a bit at school anyway...so by the time I'm about 12 or 13 and mum comes to me with the book and says "have a read" and walks away, asking a week later "did you read it"? I kinda just had to say we had been reading it since we were 8...! But it was soul destroying at tge same time...i had a brother but my dad was never around much, I'm very introverted, so that was the last talk I ever wanted to have with anyone, let alone her...lol I just couldn't do it! lol
If i ever got to have kids of my own, id have to be like Rhett though, abd make them comfortable about it somehow...but I cant see that ever becoming a thing sadly.
25:07 Link becomes Mickey Mouse for 1 second hahahaha
Just sayin for the should I have kids question, ITS YO BODY, YO UTERUS, YOUR CHOICE, AND NO ONE ELSE’S!!!
🙌 it's your BODY 🙌
PERIOD
But most ppl change their minds when growing older, just saying from being 100% certain that I never wanted to have kids, Im now like 70% certain that Im still scared to have kids but Im now thinking I want kids and its at least a 50% certain Im gonna have kids.
"I'm gonna torture and mutilate you in this very specific ways... what's your retort?".- Link being a comedic genius since ever
Every time I walk past the diaper aisle now that my third son is potty trained, I smile lol.
That never goes away. I still do to and my son's 16.
What he said at the beginning made sense. Link definitely has control issues.
The more I listen to their views on serious topics, the more I realize they truly are the cool kind of dads! These guys rock!
My parents were kind of strict with my older brother, not very strict with me, but a lot stricter with my younger siblings because they had a lot more behavior issues. I was very well behaved as a child
I love listening to these and just chilling out 💜
my mom told me that it was illegal to sit in the front seat until you were 12
Um...it is...
Yeah it is
Depends we’re you live
Some states yes some no, and I'm sure it varies internationally
The lights in the car thing was told to me as a kid lmao
My husband and I were married 1 year when I got pregnant with my daughter. She's 10 now. I do regret not having more time to spend together alone, because there are things we wish we could have done like traveling that you cant easily do with kids.
Me and my wife for 7 years don't plan to have any children, but listening to Rhetts lies to his boys remind me of all the stupid stuff my dad told me, that i believed. Real warm feeling of nostalgia. If we were to change our stance on the children issue, you bet id be spending manhours to make funny stuff up for them to fall for.
Love listening to you
you mean watchening
57:16
Thanks
I love listening to these❤️keep up the good work!😊
If someone wants a bronze statue for changing diapers, they haven't changed enough diapers.
He Said that his wife did do most of the changing of the dipers so if she got the gold then they maybe had a babysitter that got the silver.
51:41
me: wAiT i AcTuAlLy LiVe cLoSe tO kInGs DoMiNiOn
I can’t fall asleep now without earbisicuits
These are great to listen to while I work from home. Thank you, they Rhett and Link!
My Dad used to do the same thing to me as Rhett- he told me all kinds of crazy things that I stupidly believed for a long time! I also started asking “Mum! Is that true?!” Unfortunately she was equally as evil & often went along with it!😂
My favorite shirt of y’all’s is the oath of blood, I love itttt
I’m with Link he’s definitely cashed in on those vetoes In the meantime... amiright?!?
Hey guys I worked for Circus Vargas when I was younger and I was living in Costa Mesa,CA. /Orange County . I am serious , I think they get those big tents either from the Circuses that have shut down or their getting all that material from Ponca tent and awning in Ponca ,Ok. Where they made all the tents for the Circuses.
Here’s a a brochure... I’ll keep this in mind for my parenting
I LOVE r/dataisbeautiful ! Link get on the boat!
I used to live across the freeway from Kings Dominion! Ruther Glenn Virginia! I went there a lot, it was a blast. I also learned that I am terrified of amusement park rides too. They have some of the highest ranked coaster in the world there.
My mom said she made it to states for her science experiment all on bs 😂😂
I would love to hear the other side of some of these topics. For instance I would love the hear Rhett and Links wives perspectives on having kids. What they thought before having kids, during pregnancy and after the first child was born.
Can we as mythical beasts make this happen? Like this comment if you think we should hear the womans side of things.
You guys are the best. Love you guys :)
The one about the "guinea pig of three children", I can relate to. But I'm not the oldest, I'm the second youngest. My little brother is about 5 years younger than me, my sister is 2 years older than me, and my older brother is 5 years older than me. My older brother is currently pretending to has this thing that makes it so he can't walk, but I've caught him waking without his cane allllllll the time when he doesn't think anyone's there. He also told his teachers that my parents were abusing him just because they took away his phone. He also punches me and hits me soooooooooooooo much. There were 3 times where I actually got welts from him hitting me. My sister thinks that the solution to everything is to hurt me. She wants my spot at the table, just push me off. My little brother loves to spit at me. My parents hate me, and I'm not overreacting. But the point is, my siblings can get away with all that, but I can't even get away with a C+ on my report card.
I love Link's shirt....!
the oldest child the parents being strict on, ive seen that a lot, but have you ever seen the opposite? i think this might happen when they didnt do well enough with the first child or second, and the are strict on the third, they need at least one right and its the last chance.
My parents had my older brother and me. Only two kids. They weren’t that strict with him. Maybe a little since it was their first kid. But comparing it to me, they were soooo much more strict on me. And they didn’t do anything wrong with my brother. Their parenting was fine. But the reason they were so strict on me is because I’m a girl and because I was their last child. They didn’t wanna let me grow up because they knew they weren’t going to have anymore kids and my dad just didn’t want me to do things like get a boyfriend and possibly get pregnant. I don’t necessarily agree with that parenting though as I feel like I was set back in life a lot
Not to mention, this is mainly my dads doings which is also opposite to the norm. My mom really wasn’t strict at all but my dad was the one who always worried about me growing up and all that
This is my dad. Two of my older brothers are in jail, and the next two brother above me were very free. But I'm the only daughter and he's always strict to me
Oh there are absolutely plenty of families that are more strict with following children than they are with the first one, that have nothing to do with tragedy. It's obviously not the common route but it's not like "woah that's unheard of".
36:03 I'm sure my dad didn't see our value decrease as he had more kids but if we were in a social situation and he thought someone thought we were a danger to ourselves (climbing trees, etc) he would always look at the other adult and just go, "there's more where he/she came from." Lol
30:38 "im not currently wearing jeans" lmao thanks for that link, pre sus
When Rhett & Link prophesied Poop Map
Link is actually really smart. It's a shame we Only get to see it on earbiscuits
Rhett sternly said: "Yea I've worn them to public events... NEVER public appearances...". There is a difference, but not a notable one. LOL Love ya'll!
“But a really beautiful chart” 😂
when they said they still are i was wondering if they meant still kids or parents lol
I've heard all of those fictitious statements parents tell children lol We did a little poll in my college class and so many people had heard the same ones.
For me my parents told me in like 2nd grade. They didn't tell me much but as curious as I was as I got older I just looked things up online.
Rhett is kin of wrong about the zelda thing. Even though I have memories of doing fun things with my parents, my dad also played video games and me and my brother used to watch him. Some of my fondest memories are of him beating wolfenstein.
Very informative. With a lighter perspective. Looking forward to more earbu
Links answer to the first one was rlly perceptive
"Trust me their friends have no clue!"
I'm 25, I've been sexually active for about 10 years and I've been in love AND I STILL HAVE NO CLUE 😂 after all these years!!
We have this place called magnetic Hill in canada where everyone legit is scared of because if you pour flour on your car you will see hand prints on your windows seeing ghosts pushing your car
this is an old episode so no one will probably read this but I am in the circus business and it is unfortunately dying out...
Just watched the episode of link and rhett where they gave the kids surveys about themselfs. Links kids said his most used phrase is "get with the program" it was filmed 5 months ago. 7 min into this video rhett says get with the program 😂
Subbed guys, this show is amazing to me. Thanks for the content. My new bed time story’s.
Tarantula Hill is called that because theres lots of Tarantulas there. According to Conejo Valley Guide.
Great show to watch after busting one 10/10 👌
This is my favorite episode!
BORN AND RAISED IN THOUSAND OAKS LETSSSSSSS GOOOOOOO💙
I’m the youngest of two siblings and my mother is way more strict with me than she is with my brother so it’s the opposite for me. My mother has always been closer to my brother for some reason so favouritism is definitely a factor. But I also think my mother is stricter with me because I am a female which I don’t think is right either. It is what it is I guess🤷🏿♀️
1:12:37 PFFFF
I'm sorry to say, but I want Rhett's shirt.
I don't know why but this makes me can't wait to be a dad.
I'm sorry this is going to be completely irrelevant to the comment but as a non-native English speaker I wondered, is this correct grammar where you said "this makes me can't wait to...", is it correct way to put that? Again, sorry for that 😁
55:47 Well one of my fondest memories is beating Zelda on the super nintendo with my dad at age 7 so... maybe you can?
Tarantula Hill is a Thousand Oaks staple! there’s even a tarantula hill brewing company in town now 🍻
I think we all know which one of Rhett's kids was more inquisitive about the birds and the bees
These guys are really great! So are their wonderful wives. 😁 ❤
“Here I am cookieful.”
a bit after 40:00 those are things my little sister would say when she was 4-6
Yes Raven Rock!!!! We love. Go there all the time as a CU student 😁
rhetts just gotta eat during the pod cast
Oh no there not expired the kids still around lmao
WILl it tornado?
