Our Biggest Fears

[@daveguerrette8305]

When you cut your dog's toenails, run your hand down their legs like you would a horse and gently lift their paw backwards. This allows you to see the quick on the nail and not hurt them along with being a more natural position that the dogs paw is in. They tend to not like it when you try to cut the nails while bending their toes upward instead of backwards like how you access a horse hoof. You should also desensitize the dog by rubbing and touching their feet and paws while they are comfortable. I'm sure you guys knew that part though. Hope that makes sense. I rescue, rehab, train, foster and adopt packs of German Shepherds for the last 14yrs and I've picked up some tricks along the way. Just thought I'd try to help 🙂

[@user-rr5on2hj4y]

Commenting to second this. My 8 year old pittie was terrified of getting her nails clipped for about 7 out of 8 years of her life. Ever since I’ve been doing this trick, she lets me get all of them. I switch between paws to give her balance relief but it really doesn’t take long. She’s no longer fearful and always looks forward to a treat afterward.🐾

For someone who lost a document and was so upset about it, Link was frustratingly unwilling to listen to Rhett to double back up his stuff to prevent it from getting lost again. 😂

[@BrickTamlandOfficial]

yeah you can only do so much to convince people, but losing the data is the best way for them to rethink their backup strategy. they have to lose the data to realize they wish they could get it all back.

[@noon4172]

As someone who's into tattoos and heavy metal and horror, thank you Rhett for dispelling stereotypes. It really is a way to engage with darkness healthily and release negative emotion.

[@BigBoru]

For Link: At high speeds (especially when turning) or on slippery surfaces, these dewclaws provide extra traction and help stabilize the carpal (wrist) joint. Some dogs also use their dewclaws to help them climb trees, hold objects to better chew on them, or climb out of the water if they've broken through ice

[@ArelyGonzalez626]

Social anxiety is very real. In large groups I can be a flower wall and just chill in the background. And I'm super comfortable around my friends and close family, but in family reunions where I don't really relate to a lot of my distant family members, I feel so awkward and just want to crawl in a hole.its medium social circles that make me feel super uncomfortable because they're aren't big enough to blend in the background but not small enough where I can be fully comfortable and show my silly side.

[@mjl7214]

thank you! was looking for this comment. a group of like 8-20 is an absolute nightmare.

[@cajbaf]

You are so right. My mother never understood this or why I didn't want to go to family reunions. When I say I am shy though my kids laughed and said I am not. But I am..😂

Have you all done an biscuits episode on the subject of the strangest coincidences or things that have happened in your lives? We all have stories like that and I think yours would be ripping good.

yo yo i've been watching u guys on and off for 10 years and i'm currently on my biggest GMM/ear biscuits binge yet, just wanna say i'm reallyyy enjoying ur vids and they're like a happy comfort place for me right now :)) i'm so stunned u guys have been going strong and getting better each time i come back, ur energy and friendship is really comforting and inspirational to me B) keep it up my dudes!!

[@r0tting.fairie]

As someone who gets aggressively hyped about the screaming in screamo music, i feel hella loved rn lmao

[@kathrynmoore2993]

Loved this episode because I work at a place that specializes in doing dog nails in order to provide them the best experience possible. So hearing Link talk about that and the dewclaw made me giggle a little bit. Our shop focuses on nails and does not offer full grooming and I didn’t realize that there weren’t more places like it!

[@Gaiashay]

I feel like Rhett tends to psychoanalyze himself a lot. It can be good to extrapolate on different ideas you have around why you think the way that you do. But I’ve noticed that he seems , to me , to over analyze normal things. It’s ok to find little girls scary, that doesn’t necessarily have a misogynistic undertone to it. I just hope that Rhett knows that it’s ok to be him and feel whatever way he may feel without it needing to be viewed as a flaw ❤

[@jennh4146]

This was the funniest podcast I’ve listened to in a while because of the notes dilemma. Fantastic, unscripted, unexpected bit that could not have been written better. And then to learn dope nuts was Christie’s idea 😂😂 thanks for the laughs guys

[@schmidtbecky]

i'm a Christian heavy metal fan, and Rhett, you hit it on the head!

[@BrickTamlandOfficial]

you mean like a nail on wood?

[@brinoreeno]

Link - I'm about to become a nurse in December & I feel very much the same way about blood. My own veins/pulse gross me out. I don't pass out when blood is taken from me but I get really anxious. Now, a severe trauma where someone is bleeding out rapidly is too much for me. But I've found that I can handle blood during birth bc it's a normal & expected part of the process. Brains are silly

[@lyrasilverarrow]

[@threegooniebirds]

I understand, Rhett! Your explanation of your fear of middle-sized groups was very relatable.

The toe is called a dew claw and only certain breeds have it on the hind legs. Pretty sure it’s mountain breeds, used for treading up steep inclines. Interesting that jade doesn’t have them But Jasper does! Maybe he’s a bit more mixed. My mixed breed dog has them.

The movie trailer Rhett was referring to is for the movie “Prey for the Devil” just FYI for anyone interested! I’ve seen that movie trailer so many times because of how much the theater shows it.

[@cameronmonson1143]

Daaaang, Link, that was intense!! And Rhett - I totally understand the fear of medium-sized groups! Part of being an Enneagram 3, and feeling the need to understand and predict the social dynamics, and be that chameleon but there's too many people to be the chameleon for all of them, but not enough people that you don't feel like you need to anymore, and... yeah

[@CapturedByKen]

I’m a bit strange because I’m fascinated about spiders (no problem if 1 is on me), I don’t have a fear of blood or gore, I love insects (the more legs the better lol) …. I do have a fear of natural disasters though, like floods …hurricanes…tornados etc

About the mascots thing - I was terrified of those as a kid too. One time I was at a Chuck E. Cheese (which was already not a fun place for me) where, in addition to the characters walking around, there was also an alcove on the wall where each of the characters' heads were on these sticks/poles, turning side to side and talking to each other. Why someone thought that was a good idea, I don't know, but it was so freaky and I hated it
