“It’s okay to implement boundaries that are painful”. 😭😭😭 I’m estranged from my mother and that hits home. Thank you
Same here it stings but it’s also comforting.
Yes! Same here

I am also estranged from my mother… it’s painful, but something I’ve been dealing with since I was 18. It’s been years since I have seen her. I wish she’d realize we can’t get this lost time back…🥺
Rhett’s standup joke was so unexpected I nearly choked to death laughing
Genuinely made me cackle lol
Shit, I was drinking my coffee so I quite literally felt this
I'm so glad Jenna was a part of this ear biscuits! Her thoughts were so sincere and compassionate, it was nice to hear.
Seems like she's been there available to chime in since Sextember, so maybe it's permanent.
Her comments hit home for me. I had an alcoholic parent and things got really rough for a while, with police called and everything. Unfortunately I also have the tendency as well. I don't get crazy or anything like she did, but I know it's bad for my health to binge, and I dont want to disappoint or alienate my kids.
Rhett's pure astonishment at Link cutting the toothpaste tube is everything I needed today
I've done that too. My dad has done it in the past and I do it too.
gotta say rhett is definitely just more naturally funny rather than having a joke written out or prepared. because on GMM and More he's always making me die laughing just with his normal wit, but WHEW that joke from the golf event is rough, it doesn't even make sense 😭 love you king you're killing it still regardless
Makes total sense if you’re a middle aged straight man in todays America. Rough, yes, but serviceable for the audience there.
@@michaelray3865 honestly you are right! it was probably perfect for the audience there
@Michael Ray Exactly. Gotta know the audience. It would've killed in that particular audience.
i imagine wife = bad was a hit joke a room full of egotistical divorced dads, but all jokes aside getting on that stage took balls
exactly what i was thinking😂
Self awareness doesn't take away from the shit you say. Saying wildly misogynistic "jokes" to a room full of people that probably, actually think that way is just supporting them and upholding their bs.
I mean... You can definitely look at it this way. Or it was just a funny joke. Audience matters a LOT when someone is doing a public speech/presentation - including comedy. I don't think you will like it, but you should try watching "comedians in cars getting coffee". The topic of "offensive" jokes comes up a few times and the comedians all make some very good points on it in a much better way than I can. Ultimately, I think it's something along the lines of "why watch comedy if you're just gonna get offended?".
I admit - I have gotten offended at a few jokes before, but after 2 seconds of thought realised that my offense and feelings are not the comedian's problem. They are mine. We all have things we are extra sensitive about due to life experience, but I think there is something admirable about being able to find humour in almost everything.
I also think that humor and activism can co-exist. Time, place, and audience are important factors in determining which approach a person takes.
Gotta say.. Kind of ironic saying that while using a sexist term like "took balls" at the same time..
In regards to the chap estranged from his sister, growing up my mother had fairly severe mental health issues that had my sister suicidal and a lot of hatred built at times because of what we went through with her but I always understood even from a fairly young age that my mum couldn't help the problems she had. I worked hard to maintain my love for my mum because she virtually alienated everyone else in her life, as time has gone on she improved for various reasons which doesn't always happen admittedly but she has managed to have relationships with my sister and her grand children and great grandchildren that I could never have believed possible. I'm not saying you should forgive her but a lot of time has passed and holding on to anger and pain for something from the past that stops you experiencing the joy of being an uncle seems such a shame. I sincerely hope you find a way to connect with your family again.
Hey guy who doesn't want a relationship with his sister... as someone who does not have a relationship with their brother due to their behavior, it's okay to cut family off. This doesn't just go out to you, though, this goes out to anyone... you can cut family off. It's okay.
1:31 “I like goff!” Omg why is this so cute tf I love how Rhett says “wooves” and “doffins” and “Goff” iconic ❤
The dude cannot pronounce L's in certain scenarios. Maybe a product of his household? Because Link doesn't sound like that
I gotta say, my first ex said pretty much the same thing to me about not feeling paid attention to enough. He made me choose between him and my goals when I was going through a rough time with health to boot. But I did not hear about any of these 'time' complaints until he was breaking up with me. Now I am with a partner who clearly communicates his needs and respects my time and needs. I'm not a relationship expert by any means but it feels like any breakdown in communication needs to be addressed. Just had to write my two cents. It did not sit well with me in a similar way to Jenna, because I've been that girlfriend. Some people need more attention in a relationship than others and if you truly love her, communicate with her and learn each other's love language. If it can't work because yall are incompatible its best to move on. Idk.
The further strengthen the “ground” argument, in electrical engineering anything with conductivity to natural earth i.e. pavement, concrete, gravel, etc. is considered “ground”
I just have to say it! Human Overboard is absolutely incredible, I go on short runs 2-3 times everyday and every single day for the past 2 weeks I listened to James and the Shame! Every song on the album is a hit and knowing the context of it all makes it even more powerful!
"I can live with this unsettling reality." 🤣❤
Slumberland is actually a live-action "remake" of an older cartoon called Little Nemo, where the main character is a young boy named Nemo, who meets a red-haired princess named Camille in Slumberland. His buddy flip is a character as well- loved this movie as a kid!
Wow! What a blast from the past! Little Nemo was a childhood favorite of my brother and I! We owned the movie and watched it so many times!
YES WATCHING YOUR OWN CHILD IS NOT BABYSITTING!
Link: sees tube of toothpaste squeezed in the middle
"I can live with this unsettling reality."
Actually, valleys do have floors. Caves do as well. As do tents. I'd propose that a floor is the bottom surface of an enclosed space (could be enclosed by a building, walls, fabric, hides, trees (trunks or canopy), rock, cliffs, man-made or natural, with or without a roof). Meadows don't have floors, as Rhett said, because they are open (not because they lack a canopy). However, if you were walking through the forest or in a valley, you wouldn't say "Put that on the floor," because when we speak of a valley floor or forest floor we are using the word 'floor' metaphorically, to paint a picture of the ground in a valley or forest in relation to the other parts of the valley or forest that enclose it.
I have a brother who is basically estranged because of the behaviors he's exhibited in the past. I keep in touch, just to keep up with my nieces. My other siblings have their own set boundaries about that. We have to respect each other's boundaries and not try to force everyone to do or accept the same things or levels or contact.
I'm a HUGE fan of Bill Burr so I'm really glad he was nice to Rhett! And that joke killed me 🤣 literally loled
To mike, thank you for sharing your story! Something very similar has happened in my family and is now repeating with my aunt and my dad who are siblings. I very much just appreciate you as a man for being open about talking about that and putting that conversation starter out there. Gave me a lot of respect for you and I hope you’re able to at least come to a good place with the niece and nephew. Even dealing with her for a short time will be worth it to see them and have a relationship with them. Family can be something very special when all parties respect each other and come from a place of love. It’s also okay to just be honest if you still can’t see her. Sometimes people do things that are unfixable.
My answer to the floor/ground question is I call things what they are. Inside it's floor, or carpet or tile. Outside it's yard, sidewalk, road, driveway, etc. That works best in my opinion.
one of my favorite originals is "why did the cannibal go to the coma ward for lunch? ... because he was hungry for vegetables" 😅
Sometimes when links talking it's like he literally doesn't hear when someone else is talking or something. He talks ofer rhett sometimes like he does know he's there. Lol I can't help but notice. Lol 😂
It drives me crazy omg! It's my biggest pet peeve
They did a podcast over this before, and Link said he’ll be more aware. I think he explained that he just plays up his character so he tries to fill in spaces. Rhett is ok with it but he explained it’s been brought up before
I've always wondered why they don't make toothpaste containers in the style of deodorant sticks. Just a hard plastic shell with a screw thingy that pushes out all the toothpaste. They can definitely make them with tight enough tolerances for toothpaste. They make them for gel like deodorant that you push through a plastic grate at the top.
I don’t know what joke I was expecting to grace rhetts lips but it definitely was NOT that 💀
Just loved Rhetts joke!! 😂😂 Even though I'm a straight woman who's never been married... I will definitely be telling that joke about my ex-wife😂🤣
Loved the theme/focus of this episode! I hope you guys do another one of these.
Love you guys! Thanks so much for being you. You guys are such a comfort to me and many others! 🖤🖤
uncensored! thank you crew 💙
yes! i appreciate this
I always find that creating boundaries is hard bc of something just before (anxiety, fear, anger etc) and it always makes me feel better to think something along the lines of “the kids have to have had at least one similar experience that I did with their mom, maybe that’s why they’re reaching out?” it puts a nice deep breath in the situation.
My first time watching the episode on CZcams instead of just listening! Really enjoyed it as always!!! 😊
"I can take a video if you want... I'll be naked... I'll also be wiping." Link, you really got me with that Uno Reverse tangent you just quietly slipped into the conversation. 🤣
Great episode, guys! I really enjoyed the blend of the light and serious disputes, as well as the conversations that they inspired. I found the subject of familial estrangement and boundaries particularly relatable and touching. (Hugs to all here who can relate.)
Thank you for all that you do, Rhett and Link. 🖤 Viva la Mythical Crew! Viva la Mythical Beasts!
*Ear Biscuits: The perfection of Sunday morning chillin'.*
The situation of the siblings it sounds like there’s a benefit to getting into some therapy to talk it out with a neutral party. You can get into the details and also explore your own issues. Jenna’s advice on mental health are good.
I would absolutely love a podcast with Jenna and Emily. They are both so amazing!
I'm by no means stingy...but I cut the toothpaste and my lotion!! There is a lot left in there!!😂
So for the floor/ground one, i agree with inside vs. outside. If you are inside of a door, its the floor. Outside, the ground. If an Amazon driver throws your package on your porch, you'd probably say they threw it on the ground. If they opened your porch door and threw it inside, you'd probably say they threw it on the floor.
I honestly think this is the first in 10 years I've ever heard Link curse, and it caught me all the off guard lol
guess you missed GME
The ground/floor debate is great🎉 bless y’all 4 everything❤️😘
Normally the curse words are censored on CZcams, so I was happily surprised when I heard quite a few curses. I’d loved if future EarBiscuits on here could be uncensored too.
They’re always uncensored if you listen on the podcasts app or Spotify
@@k1773ns I know. But I like to watch the video version, which is only on here.
I'm having the same issue with my brother. He drinks a lot, insults when drunk, throws things, have been driving drunk and has seizures (mom used to have seizures with her Alzheimer so we believe he has it too) (the seizures). My only problem is that our house is half mine, half his, since my dad is 80 years old and mom passed away 4 years ago. So, since we live in Venezuela, is hard to find a house for each other and there's no other place to be, so I'm trying to convince him to sell because I refuse to take care of him while drinking, but he keeps saying that it was his mom's house, etc etc...
rhett swearing gives me life
Floor is always ground but ground isn’t always a floor
"A sit-down comedian...the liberties you're taking.....and you need to say it's short....honestly, I don't even care...Tennish"
-So funny guys! We are laughing. :D
50:14 This was covered in A GMM episode, and I seem to remember Chase saying he wiped from the front, then later on he had to clarify that he was only joking.
I think it would be hard to approach the situation with the gf working a lot without being manipulative. Whether he means to or not, it's likely he'll make her feel guilty by bringing it up. If anything, I think he should just suggest that they do date night on her day off or things like that without bringing up that her working a lot bothers him. A lot of it is going to have to be a shift in expectations, but if he's really proud of her, I'm sure he can make it work. His wording was, as Jenna mentioned, a little questionable, and I do think this happens less with the roles reversed.
Ceilings of porch’s are painted blue so birds won’t nest in the top. They feel exposed like they are beneath the sky so they won’t nest 27:55
I am so like that with the toothpaste, be a monster until it gets down to the end, then squish it nicely! And it’s growth for me too, Link 😊
I agree with Rhett’s assessment of a floor needing to have some sort of canopy or ceiling or plane above it. Forest floor fits under this paradigm, as does ocean floor, etc
I'm so glad they've left the mic with Jenna for her opinion on things. Her perspective as a female is insightful for a multitude of reasons.
The entire ground vs floor conversation I was waiting for someone to bring up being on a boat. If you drop something on a boat…you did not drop it on the ground. Thank you for coming to my ted talk. We are not accepting questions at this time
The term "girl boss" is so weird to me. Like yeah it's cute sometimes but it can come off a little patronizing considering we don't say "boy boss"
I think it's more of a joking term. It's what a lot of younger people on the internet have been using lately.
Especially because he said "grindset" as well. It's just younger humor.
Yeah he definitely sounded like he was being dismissive of her work.
Slumberland is so good!! I would totally watch it again
Bro those jokes were hilarious
i just feel like him saying “girl boss” or whatever isn’t a big deal just cause women don’t use the terminology anymore? like who cares lmao. i think he was just being quirky to relieve the tension of the situation he was feeling. the “vibe” shouldn’t be off because he wants to see his gf more often.
Yeah the reaction to the girlboss thing felt weird to me, but i suppose its a generational thing. I immediately assumed it was meant in the meme way and I would guess that the guy and gf have similar senses of humor.
The only one with an "iffy tone" was jenna... dude asked for an outside opinion on his situation and instead she chose to have a go at his perceived attitude and the words he used to describe his situation
She doesn't know the guy whatsoever so the non-joking judgement was pretty hard to listen to
Edit: she did end up giving constructive advice but that makes the weird unecessary judging stand out more
I felt similarly. It’s not a good feeling when you’re being vulnerable and then someone essentially puts you down.
the best dynamic duo on youtube.
I loved the joke🤣🤣🤣
Slumberland is literally an adaptation of "Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland" which was the best animated film of the 90s (released in 89) which itself is an adaptation of The comic strip "little Nemo in Slumberland." So in response to your statement, it HAS been done before.
I love how he says Slumberland is original when it’s literally based on Little Nemo.
In the southeast they paint the ceiling of the front porch light blue to keep spirits from passing through the doorway
Please make another one of these episodes!!
At our house we have a 24-hour rule on leftovers. If somebody claims it as their own they have 24 hours to eat it and if they don't then it's open game for anyone else who wants it.
Rhett...you look so beautiful ! Had to comment it !
"joke caddy" lol
I was CACKLING for the wiping debate, and also in the toothpaste discussion... "Just cut it open..." "I have..."
Such a Link thing to do 🤣🤣🤣
The only thing with the toothpaste is that squeezing from the bottom helps it stand up, if it has a wide cap.
There is only a floor when it has a ceiling
O Gosh Rhett 😂 We wipe the same way 🤣🤙🏻 Love from 🇵🇷 Puerto Rico! Loooong term fan Love you guys
idk as a woman i would most definitely say girlboss money making moves lol
33:10 - watch Rhetts hands lol 😂
I agree with Rhett on the floor ground situation
I knew what hw was going to say before he said it.
Final wipe is always a standing wipe 👌😂
It’s a patio *deck*. Specifically because it is a man-made “floor” but it can’t technically be called a floor.
Rhett: I’m an internet comedian, so I’m about to expose myself.
*takes off shirt
Rhett out in the forest and referring to the dirt at his feet as the floor because there is a canopy makes me laugh. I would say that both the floor and the canopy need to be man-made for the thing beneath your feet to be called the floor.
“Forest floor”
lol! i sort of do links toothpaste squeezing technique but instead of the counter edge i use the back of my toothbrush's handle n roll it along until everythings at the top.
The porch ceiling is called haint blue and it has something to do with warding off spirits in the way back time ago.
I think the patio floor is called DECK lol
Guys! Wooden outdoor flooring is called "deck"! No need for debate! Roof or no roof, it's deck.
According to the dictionary, a floor is not always the ground. But the ground IS always a floor.
Thank you Jenna and the mythical beast for sharing. I am navigating such a situation and I so appreciate how everyone including Rhett and Link, handled that. Really hit home
rhett’s joke😭😭😭😭😭😭
To the tooth paste person. 😋 I know I use tubes that stand up. Lol
I hope they do more of this, because I want to be able to send in my dispute and see how they respond
If I'm running down a country tree-lined and canopied road and fall down, I fall on the ground not the floor.
I thought "to get to my neighbour's d*ck" was really funny to me. But doing the final punchline and THEN doing the Sean Connery one immediately after would be hilarious
You guys should really get @Dry Creek Wrangler School on the podcast or do a full episode of gmm with him. I think y'all could have some really interesting conversations together
Standing up and then bending over is the same thing as sitting except you're tilted 90 degrees
Porch ceilings are also painted blue to keep spirits away.
Patios are raised, therefore they can’t be the ground
Solid joke. I think Link has a point about announcing it was short. Although I doubt it detracted too much. You should have said it and then walked off angrily.
The wording in the last serious question gives me pause. Referring to someone as "not right in the head" is so. . .hurtful. What that person did was wrong and maybe they did that thing because they have some sort of mental illness but having a mental illness doesn't mean they are "wrong" in the head. What it does mean, in my opinion, is that the person with the illness did a wrong thing. The wording the caller uses suggests, to me, that they are upset with the wrongness of the person and not the wrongness of that person's action.
I think that for the caller to move forward and connect with his other relatives - and set up those much needed boundaries to ensure that the relationship stays healthy - he will need to mentally make that shift: "wrong person" to "wrong action." That's not to say that he needs to forgive or accept what the person did. My two cents.
Sorry but there are some people who are not right in the head as offensive as that may be to you
In regards to the estranged brother and sister, I think a lot of time has passed and maybe they need to sit down and talk. She could of gotten the help she needs or he doesn't know the situation as to why the daughter was upset with her father. It's possible that she struggled with mental health or there's more to it. Regardless, he was told by someone that his his niece and nephew want to be a part of his life so there's obviously a 3rd party involved that could help be the mediator. Start by going to practices or family gatherings when the children are present and go from there. It's very hard to give advice when there's no context.
literally today i said i dont know how my parents afforded the bus fair for college and my mate said thats not a word n fully tried to argue w me that i was wrong
Skip the tube of toothpaste and use huppy or any other tooth tablet, its changed my life, the best invention. Also I was that crazy person cutting every tube open before making the switch, no shame! Use every drop, you paid for it.
Jenna, thank you for sharing. What a perspective to hear. We love you ❤
I had to realize: family is people we don’t choose. We cut toxic friends out so it’s fine to set boundaries for family as well… even tho traditionally people say ‘family has to stick together’ not it they abuse you/treat you like sh…
already subscribed to forrest :) love him
Meh. He's alright, I guess.
@@RenegadeScienceTeacher he gets a little rambley at times but I find this to be indearing 😉 I appreciate what you do, and you do it well. As a Philomath, you're right up my alley.
Lmao 7:28 yesssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rhett is king
Love you guys
