[@ThoseWhoBinge]

This may be my favorite Ear Biscuits episode ever. It just reminds me of sitting with my dad and listening to him tell all the crazy stories from his childhood

[@KlueLuke]

It was the guy who peed on your car who cursed it

[@angdje]

dropping JC only after midnight is so gremlin coded

[@user-cr1vd8ig8r]

What

[@AndrewMaksymBrainNectar]

Rhett if you haven’t already, you and link need to set up dash cams. Josh too

[@MrDerushingo]

He said he drives a Tesla. Those cars ARE dashcams.

[@AndrewMaksymBrainNectar]

@@MrDerushingo 😂 lol and I think just after I commented that he kind of talked about dash cams and I guess I forgot he was driving the Tesla. Wich is a giant camera.

[@radcityresin]

@@MrDerushingomy friend drives a Tesla and was hit by a bmw on Saturday. Kid in the BMW was racing another car and tried to squeeze between my friends car and another car. He tried to deny any wrong doing, despite the multiple witnesses. She had three angles of the kid in the bmw hitting her. Tesla’s don’t lie!

[@oGPoLa]

​@MrDerushingo he says in the video he didn't get the footage because of a hard drive issue. Maybe of he had a secondary dash cam that auto records a wreck this would've been avoided.

[@AndrewMaksymBrainNectar]

@@oGPoLa yes! lol and maybe la traffic is that bad? But sometimes Texas traffic can get thick.

[@MrDerushingo]

Fix the car. If you ever have another accident and roughly the same spot gets damaged, it will be harder to prove what is old or new damage.

[@madelynnk9727]

TBH, it can also work in your favor. I got into a collision and didn't fix it because it was only cosmetic, then later that year I got into another collision on the same side and they fixed it as if it was one. Saved lots of $$

[@marquis101]

And that's on #fraud 😂

[@primalvalor]

@@marquis101I mean if it was cosmetic, and then the second accident was actually bad enough to justify getting fixed, that’s not fraud at all 😂

[@winterkeptuswarm]

File insurance for the hit and run!! I also got in a hit and run, and insurance paid for everything.

[@hopegold883]

Did it affect your rates? Cause if so, since there’s no chance of catching the driver, and Rhett can afford it, maybe best not to. But also I’m just really curious. Cause if there’s anything that should not raise your rates, it’s this.

[@primalvalor]

Insurance usually pays for everything even if you’re at fault. That’s the point of insurance. The question is if it’ll raise your rates or not

[@elenaoakes8494]

I could listen to ya'll tell stories (even the ones I've heard before) forever ❤ thanks guys.

[@ryeinc]

1:05:41, that’s me on the voicemail 😁

[@ProStratMaestro]

Best Ear Biscuits episode yet! Love the stories! You guys should just tell every funny story you’ve got

[@AZSH.TRACKZ]

Rhett and Link in Sesame street would be a nice treat 👀🔥

[@Leena79]

Didn't they shove Elmo through a meat grinder and made Cookie Monster watch, then grind Cookie Monster, too and fed the fluff to thrmselves? I wouldn't be expecting a call any time soon. 😂

[@hartlas]

All those old car stories reminded me of doing crazy stuff like that as a teenager. Good times but glad to have made it out of it lol

[@joeysnowynoey]

I almost saw my friend flip his avalanche right before my eyes. 😅 I hope kids today aren’t as stupid as me and my friends were.

[@remz4087]

... the windshield story was kinda terrifying

[@fredwife3]

I'm a proud beast. I watch all channels, if you will. Biscuits is my favorite. I've listened to everything available more than once. You two unscripted is my favorite. Daily. Wondering why your old stuff is gaining views? It's me. Trying to make it through another day at work. Thank you ❤

[@PorscheSpeedster-kz6nc]

If it was a hit and run. You should file a police report and file an insurance claim. Alignment could be screwed and because it’s an EV, it’s gonna be expensive. But you are rich…😂. Glad you all are safe!

[@caitlinbushelon4824]

Ur better off paying for it out of pocket, if you have the means. Obviously not everyone can but they could. Insurance rates are out of control right now. If you even put in a minor claim it's going to raise your rates significantly.

[@briantyndall3541]

I called in once and requested an episode just about your car histories and this was pretty close! May 4, 2022 I was sitting at a red light and 5 seconds later my car was TOTALED. MURDERED with me sitting in it completely stopped at a red light! So glad your accident was one everyone walked away from unharmed...but don't people in California call the police and file a police report?? 😂 Love this episode...maybe I can still get that Cars We've Owned episode?? Be careful out there ❤

[@sybaritesphynx8057]

Link not even asking Rhett how he was after the accident for days is such a Link thing to do smh that man lives in another world.

[@Okstatechick]

Thankful you are okay, Rhett!

[@taylorb1090]

I simply cannot stop looking at the dirty stuff inside Rhett's mug in the bottom left. I'm sure it's part of a drink that's meant to be that way ... but i'm lookin at it all the same.

[@maliceinpunderland1909]

Right?! WHAT IS IT

[@LaurenAnyone]

Like a green smoothie or something maybe? 😵‍💫

[@swansonjoe7121]

It’s the blood of their frog demon sacrifice, duh

[@MrBevoRules]

Dang it! Why did I have to see this comment?!

[@CalebFrezza]

It looks like Kratom

[@edeliteedelite1961]

Thank you. One of the best Ear Biscuits yet.

[@StressedQuest]

Thanks for the Geddy Ruxpin shout out!!

[@jaimeallen1487]

Yeeessss Geddy!!!!

[@rowdyryderleather]

See y’all in HOUSTON!!!!!

[@erica-leegarcia7803]

The really calm and logical breakdown of the curse convo really tickled me.

[@tink1964]

I was laughing so hard at catching a curse

[@mallagecko6093]

9:58 LITERALLY IM DYING THE MINDSET I USED TO HAVE 😂😂😂

[@666MIDARI]

good morning everyone : )

[@leannschulze1340]

Good Mythical Morning Rhett and Link!!!

[@breemlew]

I watch GMCL all the time. It's my comfort. I do not recall this story about Cole. Lol!!

[@distracted_gardener]

Ha. My entertainment is monopolized by these two. GMM, GMM More, Ear Biscuits, James and the Shame, etc. Had Human Overboard on replay before starting this Ear Biscuits. 😊 Apparently I am a fan.

[@ayeronair]

Haha same here

[@ChristalRoo]

Rhett's shirt almost made him blend into the background. Nice shirt though. 😂

[@lydiamvaughan]

Love the Kacey shirt Link!!!

[@sophcamatari]

i wonder where did he buy it because i can't find it in her merch shop 😭😭

[@lydiamvaughan]

@@sophcamatari maybe Etsy? Or it’s older?

[@lydiamvaughan]

@@sophcamatari you could try to google image search it

[@ryanrovere4023]

Just a tip if youre in a similar situation. Don't fix your car before you trade it in! The cost of the repairs will be significantly higher than the lost value, since dealerships can get the work done cheaper. ✌️

[@tuh-my-ruh]

thanks for no lobster pics lol

[@laurabaisden5209]

See you in Atlanta next month.

Holy moly 😮

Please come to Michigan

[@captmorg151]

What the heck is that sludge in Rhett's mug I see. I noticed at 40:08 but it was there before then apparently.

[@michelledulin7214]

Tea, he usually has the bag hanging on one side.

[@captmorg151]

@@michelledulin7214 Ahh maybe some loose leaf clung to the side, or I just can't make out the bag

[@winkmurder]

Great, it's all I can see now.

[@katikuusela9411]

Hi from Finland 🥰

[@shiggymartin9722]

I have a dangerous egging story as well. Still don't know how we survived our teenage years.

[@jongupguppie7413]

Im a sailor I have no problem cursing I think its normal BUT in highschool I remember cursing in front of someone I liked and hes said " hey dont use that language" like very calmly and did make me think twice, made me feel bad 😂. And I try to be respectful infront of my parents/figures.

[@adamcooper6499]

Just bought my Dallas tix

[@SuperMurph1991]

A special machine to take stripped lug nuts off. 😂😂😂 I wish. It’s me. I’m the machine.

[@dosesandmimoses]

Sounds like Jimi Hendrix .. crosstown traffic.

[@michaelbissonette746]

I'm glad you are okay. You should fix the vehicle.

[@That_Crazy_Cat_Lady]

So the windshield replacement costs aren't going to be just a few hundred much longer due to advancement in vehicle technology. (This is not exclusive to Tesla.) Many new cars now have driver assistant systems (such as lane assist, pedestrian sensors, etc.). Those systems are mounted/installed into, on or around the windshield. This requires recalibration of those systems when the glass is replaced. This is why the cost is now ridiculously high to replace the windshield in newer cars. I prefer to stick with my older cars without all the sensors. Manufacturers are making it harder and harder to work on your own vehicle and it's driving up the maintenance costs. Yes, they are supposed to be making them safer with these features, but some things that are being added aren't needed and are just there for convenience. Some of us still enjoy and like to have the ability to repair our own vehicles.

[@bgoodellynp]

"Licoln parked...." i laughed

[@swilhoyt]

If you want to be on Sesame Street, you shouldn’t decapitate Elmo 😂

[@youaintgettingmyhandle]

Does anybody know whose on Link’s shirt?

I shit you not. I was in a fender bender today driving and this comes up on my Spotify. Talk about timing

[@victornonexistant4010]

Rhett let him off with it.

[@InnocentOnPaper]

TIP FOR EVERYONE: My cousin worked for state farm- have a dash cam. Front and back if you can.

[@mfour_themighty]

i love you Rena

[@owen9510]

I have a pretty colorful vocabulary, but I have the ability to turn it off, which I really only do around my parents. I don’t even say the word ‘crap’ in front of them.

DON’T try Better Help. The majority of people have had bad experiences

[@OG_Orly_OG]

who’s the majority of people? because i’ve heard the exact opposite. did you just have a bad experience with your first therapist and used your mental health issues to excuse your craziness and now you’re blaming the rest of the world for your problems?

[@tiannagames]

@@OG_Orly_OGwoah. Calm down. Don’t be making accusations like that

[@teamriverdragon8009]

To be fair this is a good question about what you mean with majority, because in general the minority is the loudest and complaints are often heard above compliments

[@frogsbongs]

​@@OG_Orly_OGwhy be ableist just because you're uneducated?

[@frogsbongs]

​@@teamriverdragon8009yes but it's also not organic when these places are paying for advertisement, or are so big complaints don't matter like Google

[@Heavymetal16]

26:34 "thats wild" and Rhetts lets out a sigh and kinda roll his eyes.. i wonder what that was about lol

[@georgelino2306]

I was raised pretty religious, never cussed in front of my grandparent but with my parents it was a sailors household. Could never cuss at one another or we would get a beating but other than that we grew up being free to say what we wanted

[@TwinMom-gi1rc]

Did u know it takes talent to code switch like that! 😊

[@thunderstorminblack]

The mini van stories made me remember the craziest crash ever. As a kid I went down to Florida to see my grandparents with my mom my sister my aunt and cousins. Like an hour away from my grandparents house was a natural spring they turned into a park. So my mom and aunt took us there one day. We took my aunt's minivan. So we spent a day this park had fun swimming in the clearest water I've ever seen it was fun. We get into the van and my aunt starts to back up, out of no where she backs into a tree a tree that wasn't there when we parked and no one saw when we got out and in the car. Busts the whole back window out glass over me and one of my cousins, we somehow didn't get cut up, it mashed in the truck something fierce. We all get out and the tree has a shit ton of glass around and park employees came and where like "yeah everyone hits that tree.." but I swear to God no one saw that tree when she parked. So we rode in the back of the van with plastic on the window the rest of the trip. It was wild

[@Clipperdude123]

He was definitely merging from the 170 north to the 5 north 😂

[@pdan4]

Pro tip: always get your car towed to your home. You don't want to deal with a tow yard potentially a long way away, holding your items from you, and having to trust them to ship everything to you. Learned this the hard way.

[@catsandlashes]

This!! I had the tow company take my iPhone and cable, aux cord, and my whole binder of homemade CDs after my car accident, it was such a devastating loss being 16 (and now having no car to get to my cashier job lol) those tow yards are ruthless!!

[@WilliamBradey]

@@Junomaelin right? I expect smaller channels to not be aware but a company like Mythical should be vetting their sponsors much better than this.

[@bgingerich]

My dad constantly gets mad at me for cussing like a sailor but studies have been shown that high-cursers are linked to higher intelligence. I'm a 30yo grown woman so ppl just need to get over their puritanical misogynistic pearl-clutching when it comes to cursing. They're just strings of letters some guy decided centuries ago were "bad" for some reason. 😑

[@lisao7600]

That's what I always say. Who's to say which words are Bad? If two words mean the same thing, like shit and crap, why is one bad and one fine? Why is okay to replace the F word with a different supposedly milder word like frick that means exactly the same thing and all the sudden it's not a bad word? Lol

[@urioriari34]

Yeah they're just strings of letters. But there's also a reason you want to say those specifically strings so badly

[@mallagecko6093]

7:21 yessssss link

[@lylukk]

ngl link it's pretty disappointing to hear you recommend the ai generated stuff. there's so many amazing and talented artists and animators out there that actually produce their own work and put hours and hours into their craft that deserve a shout out and not an ai "artist" that just typed a few words into a generator

Every collision with another car I've ever had was someone else hitting me, which is great and all, but I'm in a no-fault state so it doesn't really matter,

[@cylonred8902]

My wife wants ANY little thing - even the paint scrapes she adds to the car - to be fixed so that it looks new no matter how old it is . drives me up the WALL. And she HATES when I refuse to fix every little thing.

[@delineates]

Why does Rhett's mug look like it has shit in it?

[@adamc5057]

Rhett is rich and this would be a good excuse to not drive a Tesla anymore. There's so many better EV's on the market.

This was an auto pilot incident for sure lmao. i bet money he was not driving manually.

[@lydiamvaughan]

Who? Rhett? Or the other driver

[@syd.vicious]

hi

[@tomiskies3058]

sup?

[@StormyTalks]

I'm sorry but if you have an issue with your Tesla, it's deserved. The car is a danger to you and your family, and you chose to put yourself and your family in danger. A lot of Teslas have been recalled for a good reason and they're produced by someone who uses his platform to perpetuate harm. I can't support you in this and it breaks my heart as a fellow creator once inspired by your content that you two are so out of touch now. I can no longer relate to you anymore and to me, you're no different than celebrities like Jimmy Fallon.

[@cdmc965]

Those California drivers, ugh. Texan here,I scratched a car and left all my info on the windshield.

[@adamc5057]

Spare us the notion Texans have honor integrity. You elect fascist politicians and have taken away women's rights along with the LGTBTQ community. Texas is the literal antithesis of "being your mythical best"

[@trevorrnicholas7114]

I grew up Christian in the south and I cringed so hard when Rhett said GD. 😂

[@baronvg]

I always say, you’re either pre-accident or post-accident.

[@AOTProductions]

I love you guys but I had to turn this off after you decided to repeat GD, while describing how offensive it can be.

[@jeffreyrichards1315]

Certainly glad I don't live in California. The law is if you are in an accident drive to where you aren't blocking traffic is idiotic.

[@adamc5057]

Why is that idiotic?It's actually much safer.

[@highbloods]

this is heavily suggested if not the law in most states. if you can steer it, you can clear it

[@Dolsey1]

is that why you guys like josh, cuz you were also privileged children?

"Cursing is a sign of weak mind and even weaker character"

[@nwerd7584]

Its such a boomer and Gen X thing to be scared of words. Theyre just words and can have hundreds of different intends behind a single word. Next is slurs. Slurs are going to become very casual as they always should have been. Intent is what actually matters.

[@Lorangebeatrice]

You’re wrong

[@ChuffedLemon]

No

[@nautygoesdeep]

Not a boomer or Gen X and I entirely disagree with you, wholeheartedly.

[@loradelrey9134]

This is a really bad take. Words have meaning, and they’re important. Slurs are NEVER a casual thing, especially when the intent behind it is negative. You say intent matters and that’s insinuating that words hold some level of significance. Words matter 100%

[@youreinvalid8493]

Curses and slurs aren't the same. As someone who is neither Gen X or a boomer, I just wanted to join in with everyone else and say you're completely wrong

[@AllNeopolitan]

Wish you’d bring the tour to NY we miss you guys
