But guys, just a small portion of the Greek population lives in the islands. Most of us are in the mainland and we do have lovely mountains.

Pointing with the lips is also a Filipino thing! Love it.

[@fabianacuna356]

We point with the lips in Costa Rica too 😂 And we ask with the nose 😂😂😂

[@tzennara]

Yeah, my grandma would always tell me to throw my teeth on the roof. But I think as the generations pass, we are also starting to put them under our pillow. The pronunciation of mykonos was spot on btw :)

[@jamescamille84]

Point with lips is known in quite a few countries. Seychelles, you pull a duck face, in the direction of something you are looking at, with a slight lift of the head backwards, has to be done quickly. It's really meant for a subtly way of pointing, if you are gossiping about someone close by.

[@Nemesis_Prime85]

Pointing with the lips is pretty much every hispanic country. I'm Costa Rican.

[@Bravokaylyn]

It’s also a Philipino and Native American thing as well. It’s more of a fast kissing motion to point

[@werebison]

Pointing with the lips is fairly common here (central Canada). I believe that it's something that was picked up from, and most common amongst, local aboriginal people. I don't know what the origin is, but it's certainly handy if your hands are full and you still need to give directions.

[@m33b04]

People who get car sick are often riding with people who don't drive properly. They are swerving or not gentle on the gas/brake.

[@abslol1]

so now we know that they record these episodes over a week in advanced

I came to the comments looking for anyone else who noticed...

[@palomaheller]

How do you know?

[@samohara5187]

@@palomaheller I'm doubtful they'd have used a Russian custom if it was filmed within the last week.

[@MyASLMentor]

@@palomaheller Because the ski trip happened awhile ago.

[@TheVulpesh]

It's more like 1,5-2 weeks. An episode is really time-consuming, if they take a week break, they usually do some easy-to-make episodes like the gauntlets where they can make 3 episodes from one sitting.

[@babytyty13]

Dominican and Puerto Rican here and I pointed with my lips the other day to my husband and I gasped because I am becoming my mother 🤣🤣🤣

Nobody does that in Greece 😂 we do the front seating on taxi routes though!

Honesty shopping is also a big thing in Australia, there are lots of little roadside stalls outside farms for fresh produce

[@lassekjr9310]

Damn as a Dane i even failed to guess our own weird habit… I’ve never seen a party at a cemetary, but the honesty shopping is such a big thing for danish farmers

[@headlesszebra9857]

we have honesty shopping here in Germany as well, mostly outside of cities

[@kristopherweinert3327]

I love that last quip Rhett said was pretty much just towards Americans lol

Oh my God, this is why my Australian husband always sits in the front of taxis! I'm Canadian and sitting in the front feels wrong to me.

Honesty shopping is also common in Amish areas of the US. Farm produce will be on display, and you put your payment in an Honesty Box.

[@caffe1n8ed]

I’m from Denmark, and I’ve NEVER seen or heard about people using cemeteries as a place for picnics or parties or whatever. I was 100% certain that honesty shopping was Denmark! I see that constantly, not just in the country side, in my experience you can find road side shops in bigger cities too! I’m absolutely stunned, what a misrepresentation 🤣 Maybe the cemetery thing happens somewhere in Denmark, but I’ve literally never heard about it or seen it! Wow… 😳

[@daaelsen]

Really? It’s rap normal to picnic in cemeteries? At least in stor København and central Cph where I’m from I know Århus have it too and on Falster

The pointing with your lips is also a common thing in a lot of countries in Central America, I have lived in Honduras and they do it very often which made so much sense to me I couldn't believe nobody else did it

I’m Swiss and I’m always very curious about Rhett’s Swiss friend which he mentions a lot. I’m hoping he appears on the show at some point 😂

[@ecastle5909]

My husband is from Nicaragua and I can 10000% confirm the lip pointing thing. Took me forever to catch on, thought it was a weird contagious twitch or somethin’ lol.

[@Lylasnanna40]

I have a fear of y'all retiring and Good Mythical Morning changing to the point that I don't want to watch.

[@ashrush6830]

This shows they film way before, gmm wouldn’t include Russia after what’s happening. Still a great episode like always!

[@FalconOfStorms]

And someone made a conscious decision to not skip posting this episode. I wouldn't be surprised if they discussed it with Rhett and Link and they gave the go ahead.

[@churlish_hoecake]

We gotta remember that the enemy is Putin and his minions. Most Russians aren’t for what is going on. 🙁

[@narutoqweavatar]

I was thinking about this too. I don't think it's a huge deal but it's unfortunate.

[@RatKeeperDude]

@@FalconOfStorms it's not an issue that warrants redoing the episode

They say in the description, filmed in advance prior to world events..

[@andreasrs9798]

In all my 31 years of living in Denmark, I have never seen or heard about "partying in a cemetery" 😅However we do have public parks, with some memorials etc.

As an Aussie, I can confirm that we do not give a damn if you sit in the front or back. My generation usually opt for the back seat, cause we don't want to talk to anyone.

[@morgan2329]

Covid has definitely changed the taxi/ ridesharing custom in Australia. Gotta sit in the back to socially distance now! Also as a female hearing a few dodgey taxi guy stories I always just sat in the back for safety 🤷🏼‍♀️ but still knew it was a bit of a Aussie custom.
