Are We Too Harsh? | Ear Biscuits

[@stephenpaul668]

The fact they still have an ad read in the middle of this episode about how they only get sponsors they don’t want is hilarious

[@TLBainter]

"You've really dragged Subway throigh the mud." "What a big risk! 💅"

[@zardchaser_]

Link was on the BEST ROLL this episode OMGGGGG. I’m mowing the lawn with headphones on and having to stop to laugh over and over and over HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@tokeiio]

I mow the lawn to ear biscuits as well and I have to stop to laugh so much when I listen to these two 😂

[@katniss934]

Like Rhett, I really hope I’m wrong about this… but I think the sponsorship he wants real badly is Ben & Jerrys! I have heard them mention it a few times on the show and it just makes so much sense to me! Ben, Jerry… if you’re reading this, I would 100% buy a pint (or multiple pints) inspired by these guys/their show. Slap their faces on a weird flavor and I’m sold!

[@jessicatko2934]

Makes sense

[@tamzvand3325]

If this is true I bet they won't sell it in the UK 😭

[@zebruskie]

I thought the brand was Sprite

Rhett talking about being destitute because of Link like they're a married couple heading for financial ruin.

[@graciesmith7552]

I just got a Jimmy John’s ad on this video 30 mins in. I cannot believe that just happened.

[@marieelisa1]

The anti-ad 😂

[@giuliacacciatore4765]

i also just got one an hour in😅

[@listondavis]

It happens often on YT. Algo uses auto transcripts to find keywords, positive or not, and serve a targeted ad. Not to mention the sweet sweet engagement they're now getting in the comments 😮

[@RondyWooten]

When a sponsorship seems too perfect, I wonder if the reason it never happens is because there's already so much overlap that they're unlikely to reach a new audience working with you. It's likely that fans of yours are already fans of the brand and vice versa. Like, peanut butter doesn't need a jelly sponsorship. No need to spend resources on something that'll happen organically or thanks to some algorithm.

[@Kaalyn_HOW]

Almost definitely. They're just preaching to the choir so they won't throw away the money.

[@meghamokkapati6150]

Smart good point

[@Baconlessness]

Or more likely they are already getting so much free advertising that it would simply be inefficient to start paying them for it

[@sofimr]

Exactly what I came to the comments to say

[@christophercrager1925]

As someone who does get jimmy John’s regularly, Links rant will not stop me from going there. However, he is completely right about the separation of meat and veggies and that always annoys me 😂

[@McStucki]

There is something special about learning about a stranger and knowing you may never see them again. It's exciting, new, challenging and can really teach you about other people. I recommend you guys keep working at it! Especially when strangers start to talk to you out of nowhere. That means that they are feeling pulled to you. Maybe it's your energy, your aura, you presence. Being magnetic is a blessing and a curse and I think you two have that quality.

I'm like Jenna - people come up to me. Often they ask me things, directions and such. In a store one time I got someone's life story about why they were an advocate for animals. It's always something different but fun!

[@asgardali22]

Lol that happens to my mom too, but they always share their woes to her 😂 and she works at a hospital so it happens a lot

[@LaurenAnyone]

Link! Yes! You earn our trust when you’re honest on the show. Though I get what rhett is saying too as they are a business. Love you both ❤ and Jenna

[@yvpb]

You guys underestimate your influence. At least speaking for myself, you absolutely have had an impact on what I am buying - After watching videos like which company has the best chicken nuggets I certainly go out and buy which one you guys considered the winner just out of curiosity! I bought a whole pack of nestle hot cocoa due to your guys’ review - even though after trying it I still believed Swiss Miss is the best.

[@carliehurtt3000]

I am a die hard Jimmy Johns lover but went to Jersey Mikes after that episode and Rhett is absolutely correct at 11:29 lmao

Loved this episode. Tech talk, profanity, shop talk including sponsorship anxiety. All great!

[@bennnyle]

Gotta be the funniest episode of ear biscuits ive seen!! I was trying so hard to keep it together!

[@michaelastevens7486]

According (I just watched Dr. K talk about this), repeated "neutral" interactions with strangers help people with rejection sensitivity or social anxiety because it's like doing exposure therapy which challenges their expectation/assumption that they won't be liked or that they'll somehow ruin a relationship somehow ("eggshells" feeling)

[@mish5820]

I have to agree so strongly with the idea of knowing someone in the place that you are visiting! My dad has made tons of connections and friendships in Vietnam, so when I visited, my trip was so much more enjoyable. I had friends to show me good places to go and I’ve been taught important things about the language and culture that I wouldn’t have known otherwise. If you’re ever visiting Vietnam, it’s one of the easiest places to make new friends, and it’s so amazingly safe. I actually miss it there so much.

[@deevinay]

Link’s son does A cappella? Thats iconic

[@testing85]

his entire family is it sounds like

[@randymatta7862]

I think that you guys actually impact more in positive sales. Using me as an example; if you guys say something is good, that I have never tried; it makes me want to try that product.

[@dinochickeynuggiez]

The approachability topic is so interesting to me. My boyfriend is a person that strangers constantly come up to and tell him their life story. He tells me the whole story when he comes home and he never understands why they choose him lol I however, do not look friendly. So this kind of stuff rarely happens to me lol

[@AlexisSchad-q9j]

You need to evaluate the way that u think he is a narcissist jerk.

[@80sdangdarkclownshark]

Love you guys & all of the crew!! 🥰 1:47 When my insomnia kicks in, I put EBs on; Rhett and Link's banter helps settle my brain down for sleep, & I'm optimistic that subconsciously I'm absorbing the wisdom they may be imparting at any given time. Side note, merch requests🤞🏼 - Consider expanding the grooming line to include Mythical body care - shampoo, body wash, deodorant. 'Smell your Mythical best!' Clothing - Mythical undergarments & swimwear. Tech - Mythical cell phone accessories. Jewelry - Mythical earrings, watches, cufflinks, etc. Vehicle accessories - more Mythical bumper stickers, add magnets, air fresheners, floor mats, car coasters, sun shields, etc. T-shirts and coffee cups are great, but y'all have A LOT of those already. 😘

Link is on FIRE this episode and I love it.

[@amandasteele3834]

Link is so funny! Jimmy creaks in but is Jimmy John 😂😂

[@Alyssa-Michelle]

I stand by what you said about Jimmy Johns. But i will say i got 1 ad for Jimmy after that episode and thats 1 more then I’ve ever seen in my life.

[@ItsKimOlson]

It is true that Jenna is approachable. Random people will literally just start talking to her & she will answer. I literally saw this with my own two eyes. In LA, waiting outside in line to get into GMM Live!, I saw Jenna backstage. Some random passerby asked her, through the fence, "what is this place?" & she explained "it's a concert hall & there's a show tonight." As someone who doesn't "talk to strangers," walking away, I thought, "She is so nice & sweet, being so open." (Other people might not be.) I'm glad she has had so many positive experiences being open to strangers. Meanwhile, I'm solo and keep it that way because of past experiences, similar to her bar story, that have made me closed off and not want to be approached. (I don't think it helps that my parents raised me with the mentality "don't talk to strangers" and then the strangers proved that to be true.) (However; being in line for GMM with other fans with similiar interests & goals, I am open to chatting with line "buddies.") (I also saw Davin, V, and McKayla. I could have said hi, but "I don't talk to strangers," even ones I "know" from the internet. (& I made the excuse for myself that I didn't want to interrupt their night out watching their boss' show). The person sitting next to me saw Matt & Jordan in the lobby & got pictures. I thought "could never be me," to get up the courage to approach strangers, even ones I "know" from the internet. 🤣🤣🤣)

[@jessicaamaya2773]

Yeah sometimes it really nice talking to strangers. This wasn’t mentioned but I also think you can gain a lot of perspective from strangers that you might not have had before. Like a different view on a circumstance. Its cathartic also sometimes when you meet someone and share something personal with someone who you may never see again its like i can just be me cause it doesn’t matter really. Watching the end of the episode- agree. Please never talk to me in an elevator. Im always crabby in them cause im trying to get to where i need to be.

[@trinitylevesque2924]

I think it is very admirable to see someone like Rhett, who has such a large influence, who could very well be categorized as a celebrity, to speak about his impact on smaller brands and how he consciously thinks about his words and actions and their effects. It’s very nice to see that he genuinely puts thought into these kinds of topics and actually cares about it.

Yes, Link - I absolutely watch EB, GMM, MK, etc etc as a way to avoid my real life problems. 😎 And Link is not only liked, he’s a favorite of many of us! I had a dream last week after seeing Good Mythical Tour in Nashville that I met Rhett and Link. And while I was talking to Rhett before Link came over, I admitted that while I like him (Rhett), Link is my favorite. Rhett’s reaction was “Yeah, I get that a lot.” 😂

My favourite thing about Link, is how absolutely unapologetic he is in most of what he says or thinks about. Specifically, when it comes to topics a lot of people might find niche. And how he feels he needs to share them, right then and there, like an nuke going off.

i’m pretty sure the biggest part of it is the distanced term of “strangers”, it is really separating yourself from other human beings who have lives as rich and complex as your own. its the human experience and having a healthy perspective on your role on this earth. i really think it’s a bad approach to think about what you get out of it, it really needs to come from a genuine place, that’s where the enrichment comes from yanno
