[@mermaidatlantica]

Im not sure when the Ear Biscuits team or Rhett and Link decided to stop censoring the few curses sprinkled in the conversations but I am very glad these 44 year old men have finally allowed themselves to embrace the fact that they are in fact, adults, who sometimes drop an F bomb

[@devinmcleod3395]

I do enjoy this kind of cursing, only used to really make a point heh

[@Muhon86]

Havnt done full research but I’ve heard that KZbin would not allow your video be monetized if you had a certain amount of curse words. Maybe they changed their policy 🤷🏾‍♀️but I agree with ya

[@patrickblakethesaint]

They are human. We curse. They are just being themselves. They curse when necessary to make a point. Which I wish I did cuz I can't not swear... except in this reply 😂

[@TallicaMan1986]

Two things happened. There kids are teenagers now and they said they'd like to grow the show with their kids and the other is KZbin went a lot more lax on their curse word censorship.

[@christianjalexander]

I think the only way that it affects monetization now is if it occurs within the first forty-five seconds of the video. So cursing throughout doesn't affect Adsense like it used to.

[@matthewschmitt3771]

Hey Rhett and Link, I know you probably won’t read this, but I need to write this more for myself than anything. I lost my dad a year and a half ago to Covid. It was my freshman year of college and I was broken. He was my rock and at one of the most pivotal parts of my life he was gone just like that. The feeling of emptiness was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before. I’ve been a long time GMM fan since the og Rhett and Link channel, but it wasn’t until a year and a half ago I started watching ear biscuits and learning who you two truly are as people. I cannot thank you enough for the impact that has had on my life. I look towards you not only for entertainment and joy, but for life lessons my dad wasn’t around long enough to teach me. I’m going through a spiritual deconstruction right now and I connect so much with your stories and way of thinking. You’ve helped fill that emptiness that use to overwhelm me and I will forever be thankful for that.

I am a recent graduate with a bachelors in mechanical engineering (Dec ‘22), looking for work and painting walls to make ends meet as I listen to this podcast. I just gotta say, it brings me comfort to listen to your confusion during that post-college transition for you guys. Being anxious and worried about everything currently, I am glad to hear you guys recount some very similar feelings.

[@paulinexong]

as an industrial engineer the fact that they ended up needing someone to man the box taping machine CRACKED me up. we're literally going through the same situation right now at work

I’ve finally made my peace with being out of place at concerts. I went to the final Elton John/Billy Joel tour in 2009 and was 20 years younger than most of the crowd. I’ve been to Yachty and Lil Nas X and been 20 years older than most of the crowd. Just enjoy yourself.

Everyone suffers from imposter syndrome at the beginning. You'll get over it.

I'm about ~10 years into the field, almost 5 years with the same company now. It still happens from time to time. Just think that having those feelings isn't entirely a bad thing - it's making you conscientious about your work!

24:23 or so- I always go to things alone! Its' a different vibe, but it can be totally fun and a good time. Don't have to worry about entertaining anyone else or anything like that.

[@holdenarmstrong6690]

I was stationed in Korea during the Halloween Stampede last year. Some of my younger subordinates were in the alley earlier that night. Large crowds are dangerous and I don’t think I’ll ever go to a concert again after hearing what they went through in the alley.

[@Persephoneia01]

I mean I couldn't go to a Travis Scott concert because he's known for encouraging people to rush the stage and had a concert in the past where multiple people died and hundreds were injured from being crushed and stepped on.

[@honeybunchesofoats00]

Go to Lollapalooza alone! It's in Chicago, I do it every year. I wear a bandana to cover my nose & mouth for both anonymity, dust/pollution, & covid safety. I'm not there for pictures or making friends even. I'm there to be invisible & enjoy a performance. It's a beautiful festival in Grant Park & the food is provided by Chicago restaurants & vendors. Lots of grassy areas to sit in & I think like 10 different stages.

[@alicynsenior4952]

The turning red thing happened to me my entire sophomore year of college! It was horrible and it happened with literally everyone with every interaction I had. Really just resorted to isolating myself because of it. Then it just stopped my junior year and hasn’t been an issue since, thankfully.

[@Rachy91]

Rhett and Link I can relate on the red face (flushing). I have anxiety. Some day my face is flushed for no reason but the thought created in my head. I get flushed talking to people. I notice it less lately. Also when I drink I get red faced.
