We Respond to Tough Feedback | Ear Biscuits

[@emilyjohnson6473]

Hi Emily here... yes the pomegranate Emily... lol. I'm glad to hear/see that I may have convinced at least Link of my methods. And have gained Rhett's respect on the matter. Lol I literally just ate two pomegranates earlier. They really are the highlight of my winters! All pomegranates aside... lol Rhett and Link responding to my VM has literally been the highlight of maybe my whole year! I listen every single week for over 5 years and I've been watching GMM for even longer! Thank you so much to Rhett, Link, and Mythical team!

[@nicholasborkowski3589]

When I want pomegranate, I usually just buy the seeds already extracted in the produce department. But I get what you are saying about the tactile experience. It's like cracking pistachios or through crab shells. The process itself can be satisfying.

[@stellamantikou4978]

News for impatient people: You can juice pomegranates. Yup. Juice them like you would citrus fruits. It is insanely tasty (there is a bit of feel of tanine too!) and sweet. Pairs well mixed with orange juice too. So, there. Juice your pomegranates. You're welcome.

[@Noneofyourbyisness]

Rhett needs a new dentist. They're scaring him too much and I think maybe because he can afford to go in every 4 months they're telling him he needs to. If he's brushing and flossing like he says he is, especially with an electric toothbrush, then there is no way he's getting that much buildup. They're just scaring and taking advantage of him.

[@victoriafrombhbh8659]

He is going to wear away some enamel going too hard like that, it definitely sounds like they are milking him for cash.

[@Palidine4M0O]

Be mindful, second opinions are a healthy thing, Rhett

[@mandi3891]

Yup. I have a genetic disorder where my enamel is really really thin. It looks like my teeth are partly yellow and partly white due to the different thickness. I've had some really bad situations because of it. My recommended check up routine is 12 months.

[@GriffJoe95]

Charge that insurance an extra time every year!

[@BubblyDayz]

A lot of people don’t like going to the dentist because of the shame dentists give on top of the anxiety going to the dentist already brings. I went to a dentist one time who was so rude about me having some build up it was miserable.

[@jerfsjourneys]

This and the fear if needles was literally why I waited so long. I have some very messed up teeth and I was afraid of the judgement I would get from a dentist, considering the judgement I get from normal people. I asked around on Facebook groups for my city and found my current dentist and she is the sweetest and least judgemental person. It really alleviated a lot of my anxiety

[@joeysnowynoey]

That’s one of the main reason why I loathe going to the dentist. I literally dread it for weeks beforehand. I also just hate having someone that close to me like that. And I hate the questions or small talk they do while you have your mouth wide open and they’re doing stuff. I just hate everything about it. 😂

[@mandine100]

Same here, I've constantly had dentists who just tell me I'm doing everything wrong and that I should come in waaaay more often because I'm doing everything wrong and then berate me when I don't. I have a new dentist now who just cleans my teeth, does the normal check-ups and asks me if I have any concerns 🤷‍♂. They treat me like an adult and I schedule my own appointments. I've only had one filling over the 2 years of not going to the dentist because of the pandemic. People shouldn't tolerate rude dentists, esp if you do everything you can for good dental hygiene.

[@flatscreen_sp]

I literally would have cried.

[@annachristensen8513]

Scrubbing too hard (and also using mechanical exfoliants such as apricot scrub) can cause micro-abrasions in your skin which then can result in bacteria actually getting in and giving you more bumps. A benzoyl peroxide cleanser (Cerave or Panoxyl make good ones) which can help kill the bacteria that cause breakouts on the back, shoulders, etc. might help. 🙂 I used to be a hard scrubber too so I totally understand, but sometimes gentleness is key. Never bad to be more gentle to ourselves. 😊❤️

[@taylamariea]

Rhett’s passive aggressive approach towards those comments is incredibly satisfying. Lately you can’t be in any space with MB where the main topic of conversation isn’t speculating on a friendship downfall or energy shift.

[@Lil_Yuri]

There's being parasocial like genuinely caring about the wellbeing of your favorite content creators and thinking "they'd be fun to chat with and hang with", and then there's... *that* kind of parasocial. A KZbinr who was in the middle of drama a few years back was hearing people speculating about things, and while it wasn't really his place to speak at length about it outside his own involvement, he just said to his chat: "I don't want to hear your hot take about this, because I know more than you", as he actually knew the people involved. And that really stuck with me-- it's normal to wonder about things or be curious, but so many people feel like they know their favorite creator, but without any confirmation, they speak as if they know them, and they confidently tell people their theories as if they're factual when no public information released by the creator(s) confirms it. Doing so is akin to micro conspiracy theorizing, and more than a little intrusive.

[@longliverocknroll5]

@@Lil_Yuri exactly. I’ve heard several streamers say stuff similar to this only for people to double down and demand that their speculation is worth something to someone beyond just being toxic bs.

I love hearing about the crazy suds situation in the shower from Link. I am the exact same as he described 🖤

[@mekan0001]

I'm considering turning off the water during scrubbing to maximize the lathering and throw factor.

[@morgangobin9985]

I actually splurged on that Sud Scrubber because Link made me curious-and I needed to replace my old loofah anyways. I tried it out and I’m just like, “…Wait, how much lather does Link need?!” 😂 Ok, maybe it makes a little less suds, but it’s still definitely enough to feel like I’m getting the job done. I don’t even use fancy cleanser, either; it’s just shower gel from Bath and Bodywork’s. The only thing I had to get used to was the sound and feeling of silicone against my skin. Other than that I have no complaints.

[@joeysnowynoey]

I’m a huge metalhead and while I love concerts of all kinds of genres because I love all genres. Nothing beats a metal concert and I don’t think you’ve experienced live music until you’ve been to a metal or rock show. I love the energy, the feeling, and while it can get hairy in the pit at times it never gets out of hand, at least for the bands and shows I like and been to. I’ve fell many times and always have plenty of people to pick me up. And if I get punched in the face the person that does it is very apologetic about it. 😂

[@JJ-ec9lp]

Yes exactly! People are usually super nice. I’ve been helped up whenever I’ve fallen or apologized to if someone hits me by surprise. I’ve been to a few shows where fights break out or people are being really rude and other people will crowd around whoever is the aggressive one or the one in the wrong to prevent them from hurting anyone and to get security’s attention (or whoever is the biggest man capable of helping). The sense of community is instant, you can make friends with everyone around you so easily. I never feel as alive and happy as I do at a show, and I’m saying that as someone who stays sober. I get moshing isn’t for everyone, I only do it on occasion for bands and songs I really love because I have chronic pain, but I’ve never personally been judged for choosing not to. It’s totally optional and I don’t think “the moshing is too crazy” is a valid reason not to attend a show!

[@camelcaseco]

I feel like link not thinking about other stuff in the shower is the exact same thing in his brain that he can't drive and talk or cut and talk or whatever. brains are so amazing

[@TheLiberater13]

I have a friend that can’t talk and drive (safely). He insists on looking back at you in the rear view mirror while talking and swerves all over the place. His wife has to remind him to keep his eyes on the road while he talks 😂

[@RandyDanger]

Been a fan for about 11 years now, I can still remember when the Mythical Shoe was revealed, and the previous Night Leopard Attack video cracked me up. GMM has been a staple for me for a long time, and im not gonna sit here and whine. But, the previous paid GMM events have been nothing but a headache for me. Gmm evening i never got to see because the site refused my ticket even though I purchased one, and i was denied a refund.

[@hartlas]

I second the metal concert thing! Alot of my best times were at metal concerts and I've introduced multiple people who didn't even like metal that ended up having the time of their lives and continued listening to the music after! Its infectious 🤘

[@DoubleJumpVideoGames]

I love hearing them talk about some of my favorite bands like Dying Fetus, Abominable Putridity, and Aborted! I remember a while ago, they said a big portion of their fan base were metal heads. I'd love to see more Metal stuff incorporated into their content, even if they aren't fans.

[@MeetMrMayhem88]

Lather Factor was Rhett's nickname in high school 😅

[@krispykrunkdonut]

Metal shows are the best live music experience. Mainly because the crowd is generally very aware of who is around them and looking out for people that are smaller or potentially can get caught up in the crowd in an unfavorable way. And that awareness melds perfectly with just everyone head banging and having a great time

On the last question, on metal or punk concerts.. The pits i've been in, are quite organised, and they're all about taking care of the people in them. During a gig a friend went to, he lost his glasses. And someone from the pit yelled "STOP STOP STOP!!!" the music stopped. Lights went up. And everyone helped to find this guy's glasses. He now wears glasses with a chain AND velcro round the back for double protection.

There are washcloths that one side is soft and the other is exfoliating. It's nice because you can wash yourself then throw the washcloth in the washer. You don't have to worry about bacteria filled loofahs! A loofah or that silicon scrubber is awful if you live somewhere with hard water like I do. After a week they are orange and gross!

[@robo7643]

It's silicone. Very easy to wash or boil.

[@MsLilyPickles]

There are loofah cloths too. They’re just unfolded, large sheets of loofah material which can be rinsed and hung on a rod. Because they’re not folded, they dry faster and don’t breed bacteria the same way the folded version does. They’re also great for scrubbing your back all over because they’re pretty long. I find cloths aren’t abrasive enough for me - and I don’t like having to add them to my already overwhelmed laundry basket.

[@Goldi-Luc]

​@MsLilyPickles these are my absolute favorite! also i have out of control hard water so bad we cant use a dishwasher because the skinny lines clog up with hard water minerals within weeks, yet never had build up on any of my loofahs or silicone things.

I witnessed the largest scariest man I ever saw in my life casually walking through that insane pit and taking people out. This dude would have made Rhett look small. He was at least 7 feet tall and as wide as a bus. He was so much bigger than the next biggest guy that as he walked though the Pitt it looked like he was an adult walking among children. He was literally picking people up and just throwing them. I got kicked in the face by a guy he threw into us. That's when I left the pit area. Lol The next wildest one was a Misfits concert in Detroit. It was the craziest push I'd ever seen in a pit when they came on stage.
