By "a friend like that who stays close for a very long time" do you mean a friend like Jade who will sleep on your lap for an hour or more? Because I wouldn't mind that. I guess Rhett and Link have a pretty special friendship, or whatever. That would be cool, too.
I think the best part of ear biscuits is I grew up watching GMM and now that I am older/more mature, it is amazing to be able to still watch Rhett and Link in a more serious manner. By far the best podcast
They aren't just the friends who know each other since forever, they are basically spending their lives together. This kind of bond is really very rare.
I've been listening to Ear Biscuits at night for the last 2 weeks or so and I just love hearing these two talking about their lives, opinions, thoughts, feelings etc.
I feel the same. I met my bff when we were 4 (were now 24) and were so different but at the same time we are who we are because of each other. So without each others influence, I don't think we would even cross paths
@@dosesandmimoses nope, it’s mainly because we both seem very different on the outside. like to me he seemed very intimidating and i was only friends with him because of the seating chart at school. but as an adult i would’ve prolly never got to know him because his real personality is the opposite of how he seems🤷🏽♂️
@@maybehere_ firstly, that was a joke. But since you brought it up, what’s different now about your friends personality? I found that my friend never made any false pretenses, but continued to overstep personal boundaries and requests. Is that what your friend habitually did to you? But at the end of the day, when you are right, you’re right. Sometimes reason just doesn’t work. I think I got it.
I feel that the idea of making friends is usually related to childhood and youth. From a certain age, it takes a backseat to things like working on a career and building a family. It’s a shame, really.
It is hard to make friends when your an adult, but not impossible. Some of the most important people in my life I met as an adult. But I feel that I have been more lucky, then that it was about really trying.
I find it incredibly adorable that both Rhett and Link were finding it super hard to imagine what it would be like if they were never friends. #EarBiscuits
I've thought about this question before while watching GMM, and I believe that's hard to tell because by growing together they influenced so much of their lives and especially their humor that if they didn't then they'd grow up to be different people, even slightly, so maybe they wouldn't find each other as great a company as they do now. Huh now that I think about it that's what Buddy System Season 2 was about. Well they wouldn't be THAT different but still maybe Link would make a dumb joke and Rhett wouldn't laugh, Rhett would make a dry, witty remark and Link wouldn't get it so they'd go by without becoming great friends. But again, maybe they would, I think to answer that we first gotta answer how much they influenced each other. Or, if the question is if they met right now exactly as they are, as if they grew up together but suddenly lost their memory of each other then yes, they'd absolutely be friends. I'm commenting this before watching, so now I'm curious to hear what they have to say and how much I got it right.
Well, you weren't that far off. I think that the big contributing factors that they didn't come up with are the third friend that they had in middle school. Maybe it's just me, but I figured one or both of them would have known that guy and their connection would have come from that. Moreover, their religious beliefs would play a factor. As dudes who were so close as friends that they got vasectomies at the same time, I don't know if they would have reached the same conclusions about their religious beliefs at the same time. Maybe they would feel the same way, as their hypothetical situation factored in that they were still married to their wives and had the same kids. But, maybe they wouldn't. Even so, their conversation about if they could be friends if they met in an isolated incident was fascinating.
I think my next step in building a friendly relationship is usually to add someone to a social activity of some sort. Game night, online activities, book club, whatever. Helps consolidate friends so that I can actually make time for them, and makes it less awkward to get to know someone better.
I remember when Jamie and Adam from the Mythbusters said that they weren't really close friends at all. It kinda broke my heart for a moment. I then used my adult brain instead and thought yeah that's how coworkers are and that was just their job. Sometimes ignorance is bliss and an illusion is comforting.
It makes me so happy that they've remained life-long friends😊 People change so much throughout life, it can be difficult to maintain those valuable connections. Thinking of my childhood friends, we're completely different now and have nothing in common to connect us. A bittersweet feeling😟
Title: Would we be friends if we met as adults? Thumbnail: We wouldn’t be friends if we met as adults. Haha guys I think you answered your own question
Haha, my heart stopped when Link said, Zion. I went to Zion National park, camped, and then drove to the Grand Canyon and camped there for a night for my 21st birthday.
Listening to the episodes from the last couple of months just gave me an insight into adult friendships. Just made a pact with my best friend to have monthly game nights with our partners when we have houses of our own. That sounds like such a nice, purposeful way of hanging out together and connecting and having funn!
25:19 This makes me think of radio programs that introduce their traffic news segments with honking horns. A horn on the radio sounds just like the real thing. It always startles me and I've wondered how many accidents have been caused by that. It's a stupid custom but almost all of them do it.
personally as someone who loves to take pictures, it’s really nice to have a variety of options to choose from when someone takes your picture because sometimes they come out bad
I moved to Dallas two years ago with no friends or family besides my fiancé and cat. I literally had to make friends which was so hard! I think women have it a little bit easier then men because we can easily say like hey you wanna go to brunch? Or invite each other to different events like painting with a twist etc. I think you guys would figure it out if you really felt the connection and you NEED a friend.
Rhett and Link have helped me through my darkest times in life, sometimes my days are shitty but I can always look forward to some kind of content from them.
as a person who moved to a new city for work shortly before the pandemic began, I really appreciated the empathizing re: trying to meet new friends and built a community
51:00 You hit the nail on the head. I just moved to Savannah to transfer to SCAD and I'm in my first semester. All of our classes are digital right now and I know absolutely nobody here. I'm not even living on campus. Sometimes it feels like I'm living on a deserted island lol
I feel that difficulty - what's the next step in being guy friends. I learned to ride a motorbike this year, the first step is a full day compulsory basic training session. The other learner was a no-show, so it was just me and the instructor - a dude roughly my age, and it was an absolute blast. At the end of the day I was left thinking, damn, it'd be great to go for a beer with this guy - but that's a bit like asking him out on a date. It does seem to me that women (generally speaking) are both more ready to make, and receptive to that step.
I love that Link clearly doesn't understand how Max AC works. The AC runs the same no matter what setting you are on, Max AC just recirculates the already cold air in the cabin creating a colder environment. Regular AC draws air in from the outside. The compressor is doing the same work regardless.
As a previous Humane society Police officer, I've confronted MANY PEOPLE concerning them leaving their pup(s) in the car with just windows cracked. SO MANY PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE THAT THAT DOESN'T HELP! I can say that every single encounter ended in a positive note where the owner has left the restaurant, or grocery store educated. I've even donated kennels so they can safely keep their pup at home.
This is not something you need to worry about because they eventually did turn up as friends and we have GMM. At least in this universe *DUN DUN DUN*! Now think about how many good shows we don't have in this universe, but exists in other universes 😉
The way I would approach taking next step in friendship building would be to ask "Do you want to grab a few beers and go fishing this weekend?" It's not as awkward as do you want to go get a coffee together or want to come over and listen to music which are the ones you mentioned as examples. It allows them to do their own thing while at same time gives them control over how much conversation they want to engage in while having something else to also expend their focus and energy on depending on how introverted or extroverted they are. You can focus on fishing, chatting or both in a very relaxing atmosphere filled with (generally speaking) plenty of ice breaking opportunities when someone gets a bite on the line for example or shoot the breeze chatting while waiting for a bite and you can pick your fishing spot/set up and sit as close or as far apart as you feel comfortable which lets you control how much interaction you want to have with the person throughout the trip. There are highs and lows like cheering each other on when hook something, trying to reel it in and land the catch/find out what you hooked or consoling each other when it gets away, suspenseful moments all of which can be relationship bond building moments. Even if both catch nothing it becomes a shared experience can bond over.
I’m really different than my 3 best friends from middle school, as our lives have gone in vastly different directions, but we still get our core group together when I go back to town and laugh just like we did as kids. I definitely don’t think we’d befriend each other now, but having been friends for 20 years means there’s so much history between us that we always bring out the best in each other. It’s awesome.
I was raised only being able to use the cubed ice function on the fridge. My grandparents & mother enforce this still on my kid. The high a/c thing reminded me of that.
I recently discovered you guys and am so grateful I did. Thank you for sharing so much of yourselves with your vewiers in such an genuine way. As a therapist I want to thank you specifically for the therapy episode you did and for sharing your barriers, as many people face the same ones. I think it's so helpful for people to hear they aren't alone and to hear others be so open about the challenges they face. I am still catching up, but I look forward to hopefully hearing more about this topic and the meditation/mindfulness episode you mentioned! I hope you both continue to make positive changes (instead of "corrections" since that implies there is something wrong, which isn't true 😊). Again, thank you, you guys are truly inspiring!
I think it's actually hard to make friends in the same way as an adult as kids. As kids you pick a person that you like and then as you grow up you can become very different people but that shared history makes it easier to be friends than it is to make close friends with people as adults. Like growing up together kinda makes you family. Edit:also we pronounce it meth-ane not me-thane across the pond.
I dunno sometimes it's the opposite...I've had friends that I made when I was a kid, and then they changed so much as an adult that they were a very different person and I couldn't relate anymore and we fell apart and no longer speak. It still makes me sad, but they prioritized money over everything in life including friends, partners, etc. and no longer cared about shared experiences/history or who you are as a person. Over 10 years of friendship, which is a lot when you're still relatively young, that's an old friend.
@@tophr2710 yes I can hear and listen but when they weren't getting the song lyrics I gave them something else ... thanks tho for pointing out the damn obvious 🙄
The answer is probably no for most people. We change so much as we grow up and experience new things, so if we didn't already have the memories and experiences with our best friends, we probably wouldn't be friends with them.
I think this describes me and my friend of almost 20 years very well. Honestly, the only reason we became friends is because we were each other's only option of friendship. That's just how it was at the time. But that's why we became good friends. And even though we've developed social lives beyond each other, we're still very close today. I take pride in that, and I am ultimately grateful for our friendship.
As far as the metal jacket analogy, think about how metal seems cooler than plastic or wood at room temperature. Everyone's probably touched the metal parts of a chair to feel the satisfying coolness but it's obviously not kept at a lower temperature than the table.
I randomly started receiving Popular Mechanics. Loved it. When they stopped, I stopped consuming, but the only magazine I have read outside of waiting rooms.
Im disabled and can say, its much harder making friends as an adult when you dont work. Im 45 and my LOCAL friends are euther much older (and became friends because they are my neighbors) and another disabled woman because our illnesses are as thought consuming as a job. On the flip side, i have made a TON if genuine friends ONLINE who i have never and probably will never meet in real life. But again, the subject we have bonded over, the mandela effect, is a “job” for me here on youtube. So in my opinion, the 2 major keys to adult friendship creation are 1) having a common interest that greatly affects your life OR a common job and/or 2) close proximity like a neighbor or someone you run into nearly every day. #earbiscuits 55:30 this whole conversation…this is part of my disability. My nervous system BREAKS and goes into over drive whenever i sit or stand up. Dysautonomia/Hyperadrenergic Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. Every process your body handles that you don’t control or think about like sweating, breathing, blood pressure, heart rate, including temperature both actual on a thermometer and PERCEIVED ie FEELING too hot or too cold, MALFUNCTIONS OR FAILS when i do anything in life except lay in bed. I feel like im 80 years old but look like my age (45) and if it werent for my cane and gait walking, you would have no idea what my body is doing to me, how horrible it makes me feel, because your nervous system is why you feel good or sick and mine is always set to sick. Just really interesting to hear healthy people talk about this. In my experience, most healthy people DONT think about how the body functions and the nervous system which MUST FUNCTION PROPERLY in order to have a normal life.
Women bond facing each other and men bond sitting side by side. Boys go to a ball game together, say next to nothing to each other and feel closer because of it. Women feel that closeness from facing each other and talking. 👭👬
I'm not a U2 fan either link but I googled stuff: The Joshua Tree album: 1987 and The Edge is a group and they formed in 1976 & still are present apparently.
It snows in Joshua tree. Last year it was pretty deep. And I believe you’re talking about the Cholla cactus Garden... We go there every New Year’s Eve and freeze our butts off ... it’s a tradition.
Thanks for always keeping it open and frank about things guys. It definitely had me thinking about as an adult it's near impossible to make new friends unless it's a mutual friends gathering that meets regularly like DND or something. I personally am always the more quieter kind. Not that I'm shy necessarily but being involved in a gathering is stressful. Having to be extroverted makes me feel uncomfortable especially with initiating the conversation with new people. I prefer to observe and get a feel for the situation and vibes around me not necessarily go out of my way to say anything substantial. It's like you almost talk yourself out of speaking cuz you don't want to sound too weird, stupid and uninteresting (or embarrass yourself somehow? LOL). The overthinking takes over and you're just suffocating yourself with your own thoughts. Imagine if there was no pressure for others to find common ground and start wonderful conversations. Wow imagine how many relationships we could have been had with others if we just let things happen without worry and judgement and not try to control it so much in our heads.
They meeting at such a young age is the best thing that has happened to the internet. Their friendship is just SUPERIOR
Watching them makes me wish I had a friend like that who stays close for a very long time.
Isn’t that common
we can try to have had been friends since lower school, although i'm kinda strange so- weigh your options XP
So freakin true
My mom and her best friend have like 36 years and my best friend and I have 14. It's amazing having someone you know will always be there for you
By "a friend like that who stays close for a very long time" do you mean a friend like Jade who will sleep on your lap for an hour or more? Because I wouldn't mind that.
I guess Rhett and Link have a pretty special friendship, or whatever. That would be cool, too.

crazy how Rhett and Link have been friends for basically their whole lives 🤯🤯
I'd disagree. I've known my best bud since we've been 5.

Y'all lucky, I only found my best friends in high school
They aren't just the friends who know each other since forever, they are basically spending their lives together. This kind of bond is really very rare.
I genuinely don’t have friends and I’ve really tried 😔
This might sound weird but I enjoy them telling story’s when I fall asleep. It’s just something I enjoy.
Omg too me!
I always play Ear Biscuits in my headphones at bedtime till I fall asleep lol
Me too!
Yep, if I'm having a hard time falling asleep, I'll listen to an Ear Biscuits episode I've already heard.
same 🙈
Love Link's impression of Bill Clinton. On point.
He nailed it!
Just clicked the video & happened to see your comment & now I'm pretty excited!
Surprisingly good impression
More and more like Dana Carvey every day
It was really good lol
All I know is, we're all lucky that they did meet in 1st grade, became best friends, stayed best friends and are here today talking about it with us.
the way they both dont know how to make friends in a social situation because they never had to because they had each other😂💓

This podcast is the first time in the history of the world that anyone has listed U2 being "too rocky" as a reason not to like them.
that's actually a very good question, if i met my current best friend as an adult i actually don't think we'd be friends..
I'm the same. We are so different now but when we're together our separate worlds disappear and we are 12 again lol.

I dunno sometimes it's the opposite...I've had friends that I made when I was a kid, and then they changed so much as an adult that they were a very different person and I couldn't relate anymore and we fell apart and no longer speak. It still makes me sad, but they prioritized money over everything in life including friends, partners, etc. and no longer cared about shared experiences/history or who you are as a person. Over 10 years of friendship, which is a lot when you're still relatively young, that's an old friend.
First Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue: 1964. U2’s Joshua Tree: 1987.
I like to think they would be the friend version of a kid who says "if you weren't my mum I would punch my mum and find you"
The horn is how you express your anger through the car! I might be a little road rage-y lol
The saying is two steps forward one step back ... but if you look at it optimistically you're still a step ahead from where you were
They're referencing a Paula Abdul song called opposites attract.
@@tophr2710 yes I can hear and listen but when they weren't getting the song lyrics I gave them something else ... thanks tho for pointing out the damn obvious 🙄
@@crystalellul845 lol that's a reach but alright 👍

8:18 Cactus Forest Drive in the Saguaro National Park near Tucson Arizona
Rhett gathering the sprts illustrated to then report to a young eager link is a vibe 😂
I lol'd picturing Rhett's wife introducing herself to a can of beans.😂
The answer is probably no for most people. We change so much as we grow up and experience new things, so if we didn't already have the memories and experiences with our best friends, we probably wouldn't be friends with them.
When you've grown up listening to rock and you hear somebody say U2 is "too rocky" haha. Really though, to each his own.
Xpert driving taught me to say "thank you, not blank you!"...regarding car horn use.
I think this describes me and my friend of almost 20 years very well. Honestly, the only reason we became friends is because we were each other's only option of friendship. That's just how it was at the time. But that's why we became good friends. And even though we've developed social lives beyond each other, we're still very close today. I take pride in that, and I am ultimately grateful for our friendship.
I think you guys should do an Ear Biscuits on what your favorite/funniest drunk memories are.
Link said TeacherTok as a joke but... it’s a real thing 😂
Lol at Link's hypothetical dialogue, *baits you* *negs you* haha jk let's hang I'M CHORTLING
Link is getting good at managing Rhett’s ego
Ad hasn't even stopped yet and I know Rhett is gonna say nope!
As far as the metal jacket analogy, think about how metal seems cooler than plastic or wood at room temperature. Everyone's probably touched the metal parts of a chair to feel the satisfying coolness but it's obviously not kept at a lower temperature than the table.
I find inviting peeps over for a bbq is cool especially if other friends are there too. More chill 😁
I randomly started receiving Popular Mechanics. Loved it. When they stopped, I stopped consuming, but the only magazine I have read outside of waiting rooms.
Family BBQ with Rhett bringing a pot of beans.
Link's Bill Clinton is pretty good!
Rhett trying to sound scientific and Lonk making fart jokes lol. I love these two!!
Lonk, yup, that's him
51:49 maybe Link said it the way The Fugees did
Nvm
I’m glad to hear our Photobooks are serving Link well!☺️

Im disabled and can say, its much harder making friends as an adult when you dont work. Im 45 and my LOCAL friends are euther much older (and became friends because they are my neighbors) and another disabled woman because our illnesses are as thought consuming as a job. On the flip side, i have made a TON if genuine friends ONLINE who i have never and probably will never meet in real life. But again, the subject we have bonded over, the mandela effect, is a “job” for me here on youtube. So in my opinion, the 2 major keys to adult friendship creation are 1) having a common interest that greatly affects your life OR a common job and/or 2) close proximity like a neighbor or someone you run into nearly every day. #earbiscuits
55:30 this whole conversation…this is part of my disability. My nervous system BREAKS and goes into over drive whenever i sit or stand up. Dysautonomia/Hyperadrenergic Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. Every process your body handles that you don’t control or think about like sweating, breathing, blood pressure, heart rate, including temperature both actual on a thermometer and PERCEIVED ie FEELING too hot or too cold, MALFUNCTIONS OR FAILS when i do anything in life except lay in bed. I feel like im 80 years old but look like my age (45) and if it werent for my cane and gait walking, you would have no idea what my body is doing to me, how horrible it makes me feel, because your nervous system is why you feel good or sick and mine is always set to sick.
Just really interesting to hear healthy people talk about this. In my experience, most healthy people DONT think about how the body functions and the nervous system which MUST FUNCTION PROPERLY in order to have a normal life.
Women bond facing each other and men bond sitting side by side. Boys go to a ball game together, say next to nothing to each other and feel closer because of it. Women feel that closeness from facing each other and talking.

Good comment! It’s so true, but I never thought of it this way!
1 step forward 2 steps back
I'm not a U2 fan either link but I googled stuff: The Joshua Tree album: 1987 and The Edge is a group and they formed in 1976 & still are present apparently.
Is that not common knowledge? They’re one of the most successful rock bands of all time 😂
@@TheBeatlesToday well not to me as I'm not a super fan of U2 and also, I wouldn't have known that LOL
Isn't The Edge one of the guitarists for U2? I only know that because I heard about him when they were really big when I was a teenager lol
Platonic things to do with friends: concerts, board game night, bar/restaurant, golf, softball league, etc.
It snows in Joshua tree. Last year it was pretty deep. And I believe you’re talking about the Cholla cactus Garden... We go there every New Year’s Eve and freeze our butts off ... it’s a tradition.
I like green guy’s laugh sound.
あ、別日本人GMM視聴者！
Lol he has a good laugh yes
Thanks for always keeping it open and frank about things guys. It definitely had me thinking about as an adult it's near impossible to make new friends unless it's a mutual friends gathering that meets regularly like DND or something.
I personally am always the more quieter kind. Not that I'm shy necessarily but being involved in a gathering is stressful. Having to be extroverted makes me feel uncomfortable especially with initiating the conversation with new people.
I prefer to observe and get a feel for the situation and vibes around me not necessarily go out of my way to say anything substantial. It's like you almost talk yourself out of speaking cuz you don't want to sound too weird, stupid and uninteresting (or embarrass yourself somehow? LOL). The overthinking takes over and you're just suffocating yourself with your own thoughts.
Imagine if there was no pressure for others to find common ground and start wonderful conversations. Wow imagine how many relationships we could have been had with others if we just let things happen without worry and judgement and not try to control it so much in our heads.
My brother, his wife, and her sister moved to LA in July 2020. They have no one, except their pod.
