Welcome to Ear Biscuits, the podcast where two lifelong friends talk about life for a long time, or maybe a little shorter amount of time because it's the summer, but it's not permanent. I'm Link. And I'm Rhett. This week at the Roundtable of Dem Lighting, we're going to be talking to you about something that you possibly should be doing more of. Okay.
Starting point is 00:01:34 This is a life improvement episode of Ear Biscuits? We've been talking about this. I've been sharing it with you. And I've actually sharing it with you. And I've actually, there's two aspects to this. This is the Hank Jr. thing? Well, that's a third aspect of it. That's the only way I remember that you've talked to me about it.
Starting point is 00:01:55 Well, okay. No, I was just talking about how we should be doing it more, and then there's another aspect. Okay, so you may have seen seen in other parts of the world or people who are from other parts of the world outside the United States, like it's very common in many parts of Asia, and it's also very common in many parts of Europe and like Eastern Europe. So much so that it's sometimes called the Slav squat
Starting point is 00:02:26 or the Asian squat because they do this quite a bit. And that is, I'll demonstrate for those of you who can watch. You're going to do it on your chair? I don't think you should stand on your chair. Okay. You're trying to decide if you're going to stand on the chair? I don't think you should stand on your chair. You wanna stand on the, you're trying to decide if you're gonna stand on the table? Oh God, he's gonna.
Starting point is 00:02:51 It's pretty sturdy. So it's basically, it's basically. Oh God. Your jeans are black and it kinda looks like you're still just sitting on your chair, but really your feet are on your chair and your butt is below your knees, almost sitting on the heels of your feet. And if I was on the ground, my heels would be...
Starting point is 00:03:14 The best position is if your heels are on the ground. So basically what I'm doing is... And you're not talking about just pooping, because I'm familiar with squatty potties, when it's basically a ditch. And that's in lots of parts of the world. You straddle, and then you just drop trowel, and then you poop, and...
Starting point is 00:03:36 And it's way healthier. It's the right... It gives your body proper poop alignment, which is why, like, products like poop stools exist to raise your feet up higher when you're sitting on an elevated toilet. It takes the pressure off the anus, so you're less likely to get hemorrhoids. It also spreads the cheeks, which... It does a lot of great things.
Starting point is 00:04:03 It does a lot of great things. It also spreads the cheeks, which... It does a lot of great things. It does a lot of great things. But the reason that this is so healthy, and I'm not gonna... I mean, there's multiple articles if you just look this up. But you're not just talking about pooping. No, I'm just talking about... Squatting socially.
Starting point is 00:04:18 As you get older... Well, right now, however old you are, you should get to a place. You should try to get to a place. Now, I realize that, you know, not everyone is capable of doing this. And so I'm not, but I'm saying that if you- Bodies are different. Bodies are different. But if you think you might be able to do this,
Starting point is 00:04:37 this would be a great thing to start trying and to start incorporating into every day. And that is getting in that position. Like if you feel like you need to relax, instead of just sitting down in a chair, going into this squat position where your butt gets all the way down almost to the floor, and it creates this like openness and flexibility in the hips and the ankles and the legs.
Starting point is 00:05:04 And like just having to do that is difficult. I mean, as a 46-year-old, 6'7 man, this has not come particularly natural to me, right? But you do it. Go all the way down. And if you go down and you stay that way for a little bit, like it really starts opening things up. It starts feeling good after a while. And then you come back up.
Starting point is 00:05:24 But all these physical therapists and doctors are talking about how because we don't do it in the West, what ends up happening, like, if you can keep doing that as you get into your 50s and your 60s and your 70s and your 80s, there's just, I don't know what it is, but the correlation of people who can squat down like that and stand back up and longevity, there's a tight correlation between those two things. There's obviously a correlation between the type of toilet you use
Starting point is 00:05:57 and your ability to do this. So if you're in a culture where there are squatty potties and if you're pooping once, if you're lucky, twice a day, well, you're doing it twice a day, and you're sitting there for a session. Yeah, so it's built in. It's built in. But a lot of people, a lot of men. But slob squat implies social squatting.
Starting point is 00:06:20 Right, so you could imagine seeing, and being in Eastern Europe, Right, so you could imagine seeing, and being in Eastern Europe, and seeing like a group of men, like older men, sitting, squatting in a circle, talking to each other. Like this is a thing that happens. And it's a beautiful, wonderful,
Starting point is 00:06:35 healthy thing that happens versus sitting in a chair in an unnatural way. I mean, I haven't seen that. I would imagine that I would think, what's that group of guys? Are they trying to start a campfire or something? Right, because it's unfamiliar to us. What's happening?
Starting point is 00:06:52 It's very unfamiliar to us. And the reason you brought up Hank Jr. is because Hank Williams Jr. has, I mean, I don't watch Hank Williams Jr. in concert very often, but I just happen to see probably an Instagram or TikTok of him in concert. And he's old now. And he, in the middle of his concert, goes down repeatedly and squats like that and says, like, I can still do that. Whilst, like, singing? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:24 With a guitar? No, not in this, yeah, yeah. With a guitar? No, not in this clip that I watched. He just had a microphone. I can still do that. And it's actually really impressive. You were impressed. It left an impression on you. I want to be like Hank Jr. when I get older.
Starting point is 00:07:38 Specifically in the area of squatting. Homeboy squats on stage. Yeah, I'm just saying that. I love that. I can still do that well and there's also a it's slightly related like your ability to sit on the floor and get up on your own uh is also very like again i'm not saying there are people who are incapable of doing this for all kinds of reasons, and that doesn't make you less of a person.
Starting point is 00:08:07 The thing I'm saying is if you are capable of sitting down on the floor and standing back up, there is a strong correlation with longevity. And as we get older, it gets really, really hard to do that. But the old people who keep being able to do that live happier, healthier lives as they get older, statistically. So should we be removing, like, couches from our living rooms? I don't think we need to be making too many adjustments. Should we be ripping out toilets? I have a squatty potty.
Starting point is 00:08:44 You should just be squatting more.... I have a squatty potty. You should just be squatting more. Do you have a squatty potty? So the problem with a squatty potty with me is that... Which is not a sponsor. It's a name brand version of a poop stool, you know. If I could show you my posture on a toilet, given my height and the length of my legs, you would be like, oh, you're kind of already in a squatty potty position. Your knees are already by your shoulders.
Starting point is 00:09:07 My knees are above my butt on a regular toilet. Wow. Yeah, so I have used a squatty potty, but it just feels like more of the same. I think it's a way to get into this without squatting down. You sit down, and then you pull the stool out. You push the stool out because it's like around the toilet. Push it out, and then you put your feet on it. So it's like it's a different way to get into that position
Starting point is 00:09:38 and start to get some flexibility. I think it's the gateway squat. So get a squatty potty. Sit first, and then you can probably bring it into the living room when you're watching your favorite show. You just sit on the edge of the couch, bring your squatty potty in there and put your feet up, or maybe just use an ottoman. I don't have a squatty potty, but I will,
Starting point is 00:10:05 and I go through phases of this while Jessie and I are like watching TV at night, I'll get up off the couch and I'll go into a squat position and stay there while watching a show. I mean, not, you know, for a few minutes. And I'm the weird one. Ear Biscuits is supported by Rosetta Stone. You know, Lando is planting seeds

Starting point is 00:12:02 And there you have it. The perfect summer mix. B Bacardi do what moves you live passionately drink responsibly copyright 2024 Bacardi it's trade dress and the bad device are trademarks of Bacardi and Company Limited rum 40 alcohol by volume and this does something like the way it helps your lower back because so much of the lower back is just
Starting point is 00:12:27 holding tension from other places like your hips and your glutes and your hamstrings that aren't flexible enough and so it like all gets balled up there
Starting point is 00:12:35 and this like keeps all that really loose and keeps the motion happening the other thing and I told you about this as well
Starting point is 00:12:44 and we did a little bit of this the other day. So if you're a typical person in modern day, right? Like it's difficult to move as much as you would probably be healthy for you to move during the day, right? See, now I feel like I need to sit in a different way. And...so...and there's all kinds of studies that show that, like, after you eat, as an example, like a brisk 10-minute walk, just a brisk 10-minute walk after you eat has some incredible impacts on blood glucose and just the benefits are really it doesn't have
Starting point is 00:13:26 to be a crazy thing it's just like walk around after you eat get up well you know how like if you've got like a aura ring or you've got an apple watch it'll start telling you like time to stretch your legs like it's doing that because it's not great to just sit, right? To get up and to move a little bit, even if it's just a little bit, it's great. And then in terms of your mental capacity and your alertness, every couple of hours, just like doing a few jumping jacks, jogging in place for a second,
Starting point is 00:14:02 kind of wakes you up, right? Gets the blood flowing again. This is just great. But there's a study that was done on people who are you just do some squats okay so it goes back to the squat like just sitting down going down coming up going down coming up just doing like 20, 10, like a couple of times a day. And all of a sudden you'll be like, oh, I feel like I was about to fall asleep a second ago.
Starting point is 00:14:31 I was getting tired. 10 squats is nothing to slouch at. I was losing my focus. And then I just went down 10 times and came back up. And now all of a sudden I've got another couple of hours in me. We were squatting in the dressing room. You got me to do this. I was a little sore, you know, because I was like, damn, I haven't actually squatted in a long time.
Starting point is 00:14:54 Yeah, I'm not talking about squatting. I don't squat with any weight. I don't do any, like, weighted. Yeah, body weight squats. Squats, because it tears my back up. I'm just talking about just me as a person going down and coming up, going down and coming up. It pushes off that need for a little bit of caffeine.
Starting point is 00:15:10 It does. I want to go back to the squatty potty for a second. Have you ever used a squatty potty? No. Have you ever pooped into a ditch? I mean, camping kind of. You've dug a hole. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:22 That's the only time we've done it. I mean, in your travels, Jenna, have you ever used a hole oh yeah yeah yeah that's the only time we've done i mean in your travels jenna have you ever used a squatty potty i have a squatty potty at home no i mean like it's a proper hole like i've done that it's great what country it uh i was i was out i was out camping and there was like a it was set up up. Yeah. Like a hole. Yeah. Okay. But you weren't in like Shanghai or anything. No, no.
Starting point is 00:15:53 I haven't been in another country where it was set up where you go in and it's a hole in the ground. I haven't done that. Jesse's had to do that in both Africa and Asia, two places that I have not been. When I bought a new toilet for my in-laws, Christy and I bought them a new toilet because their toilet was like super old. You just got them a hole in the bathroom floor? We just got them a hole and told them they had to start doing that in their own house. No, we got them a toilet, and it was – I had seen a TikTok around this time, and their toilet was really tall.
Starting point is 00:16:26 And I guess, you know, when you get older, if you can't squat, you need a taller toilet. And so that's what we got for them. But then I was like, damn, this is a sturdy toilet. I can do what I saw this guy on TikTok do, which is like, he was like, this is how you're supposed to poop on an American toilet. And he was barefoot and he put his feet on either side of it. And he did a squat all the way down and just, I mean, he had his pants on. He demonstrated it.
Starting point is 00:16:50 But you could imagine what it would be like. I was like, I was concerned about the height of this toilet, and I didn't have a squatty potty there at the in-law's house. And I was like, well, I'm barefoot already. And I sat there, and I perched like a bird right up there on their toilet and gave it a shot. And it was a bit strange. Well, yeah, you're not used to it. But the door was locked.
Starting point is 00:17:15 Did you get any splash on your ankles? Uh-uh. But, I mean, just to be completely, I don't want to be graphic, but I will be thorough here. Is that like, you got to make sure that, you know, that you pee down. You don't want to be peeing out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You might have to redirect it a little bit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:40 Or it'll just go straight over the lip. Right, straight over the lip. Into the bathtub. Well, that's okay. Yeah. Maybe that's why I was designing it. The bathtub's okay as long as you run the water afterwards. I recommend that. Give that a shot.
Starting point is 00:17:54 That's my challenge to you, your biscuiteer. Yeah, and I'm just... If you're barefoot and you have a sturdy toilet, put a foot on either side of it, you gotta take your pants all the way off. I'm just... If you're barefoot and you have a sturdy toilet, put a foot on either side of it, you got to take your pants all the way off. I feel like... Or at least off of one ankle. I feel like this is... You're jumping ahead a little bit too much here.
Starting point is 00:18:14 How about before you squat on the toilet? You tell them to do 20 squats. That's a lot. Step one, just see if you can squat for 30 seconds. Like, go down into that position, let it kinda settle in. It's like, it's... Most Americans who do this find within the first 10 seconds that they have to grab something. Mm-hmm. Okay, I'm doing it. To hold themselves up, because they're not used to balancing in this way.
Starting point is 00:18:42 Well, I'm in a swivel chair. Yeah, it's not ideal in the swivel chair. Yeah, you're not going to have any issue with it. But most people need to hold on to something. And what you'll find is that once you kind of get into this, like... It's pulling my hips apart. I mean, but I also feel like, should I poop? No.
Starting point is 00:19:04 I think you may be associating it a little too strongly with pooping. I mean, but I also feel like, should I poop? No. I think you may be associating it a little too strongly with pooping. I am. I am. Maybe I'll associate it with being a frog. Or just conversation. Conversation. Or watching television.
Starting point is 00:19:16 Or relaxing. Whatever you want to do. It makes you feel great. So just see if you could do that. And your knees are right there. I mean, you can just like, you can totally just. Let's have meetings this way. This is reminiscent. I see these pictures of people.
Starting point is 00:19:33 Like, you see these pictures of like old men in Asian markets, like doing what you're doing right now, just kind of sitting there talking to each other. Your need for a park bench is eradicated. Right. I mean, think about all the time you spent looking for a park bench. Don't do that anymore. You are your park bench.
Starting point is 00:19:57 Right, you don't need the bench. That's sweet, dude. I love that. A little bench autonomy. I love that. A little bench autonomy.

While we're talking about squatting, we have a voicemail that is loosely related to this theme that I think we might be able to help with. Let's listen to that. Hey, guys. Jeremy from Montreal here I have a bit of an issue for you guys to help me resolve with your expert guidance so basically over the summer I'm an intern and I share an office with another intern this
Starting point is 00:21:37 fellow intern has a bad habit of farting inside said office right after dinner maybe that would be one for you guys. It would. Now, since I share the office, the risk is I don't want anybody else walking into the office and thinking, wow, Jeremy's the farter. He's a big fart guy. That's not ideal. On top of that, I have to sit in said fart while it happens.
Starting point is 00:22:01 How do I resolve this? How do I make this end? Do I bring it up with him? Help me out here. Thank you, guys. Jeremy, not a big fart guy. Doesn't want to be considered a big fart guy. Yeah, not the farter.
Starting point is 00:22:14 Doesn't want to be known as that. Before we get into solving your problem, as we will. I got to get out of this. I will say that. Wasn't easy. The best advice, which I am going to gloss right over and say just up front, I'm not going to give you, would probably be to have a direct conversation about it. But you know what?
Starting point is 00:22:36 I wouldn't do that, so I'm not going to ask you to do it, and it's no fun. You wouldn't do it, okay. To tell you that you should just have a conversation with this guy, what, the podcast is over once we say that? Yeah. So let's get more interesting, let's get more creative, let's get more realistic. Okay. Because people don't like to have direct conversations about things like this.
Starting point is 00:22:55 You know? So I think you have to, personally, I think we have to create... Get him fired? Some sort of Pavlovian response here so that he learns that when he farts, bad things happen. That aren't necessarily associated- They don't have to be related. Okay. They don't have to be related.
Starting point is 00:23:19 But do you want, and you don't want him to know that you're the source of that punishment. I think it's gonna take at least 15 to 18 times before this works, and so Jeremy, you're gonna be sitting in some fart for a while. I don't know how often this happens. And yes, it is called lunch where we're at. Sitting in some fart. I mean, that's-
Starting point is 00:23:41 I can think of a couple of ideas. So your boy farts and you smell it, and you could act like you get a phone call. You know, with some bad news that applies to both of you, that's like work-related. Okay. That could be hard to follow up That's like work-related. Okay. That could be hard to follow up. It could be a little bit of a web of lies thing, so maybe that's not the greatest thing.
Starting point is 00:24:10 Yeah. It could simply be a physical response, so that every time you start smelling the fart, you're like... Like you have a coughing attack. And this could be even more than Pavlovian because he might begin to think that, I think my fart is making this guy choke. I think my fart is making Jeremy choke. It seems that he has a real problem with this and maybe I shouldn't fart. That could be an even more direct thing. But I'm just trying to create some kind
Starting point is 00:24:38 of passive reaction every time you smell the fart. What about just spraying bathroom spray in there? Every time he does it. Like, take a hint, bud. Just like, maybe just a little. That's another step up the passive-aggressive chain. I'm not saying I don't like it. It's easier than a conversation. I don't like it. It's easier than a conversation. I don't think it's aggressive.
Starting point is 00:25:07 I think it's called for. It stinks in here, I'm gonna make it smell better. I'm not pointing out where the stink came from. I'm not complaining. I didn't say it was aggressive. I said it was passive aggressive, which is a different thing. It's passive, but I wouldn't call it passive aggressive. So you're telling me that if somebody farts...
Starting point is 00:25:25 It's just... And then you, like, you pull out... I mean, maybe it's the look on the person's face that I'm picturing. Like, you fart, and I'm just like... That's passive-aggressive, man. You know, because I'm not addressing it directly. How about this? But I'm not saying I don't like it.
Starting point is 00:25:43 How about this? I'm not addressing it directly. How about this? I'm not saying I don't like it. How about this? Because I found myself saying, reacting with surprise when you said, I don't want to talk to him. I don't want to confront him.
Starting point is 00:25:54 Nobody wants to do that. And I was like, well, would I want to? Most people aren't you, Link. I wonder if he works with somebody that most people aren't, that aren't like most people. Usually there's somebody you work with. You'd have to confide in this other person.
Starting point is 00:26:10 I'm recommending a collusion with someone who you give them a little signal, and it's like, it's Judy. Judy likes confrontation. It's Judy. Judy likes confrontation. So I'm going to ping Judy whenever my office mate toots. I'm going to ping her, and she knows to spring into action. She comes in, and she has business.
Starting point is 00:26:44 But then immediately she's like, oh, it smells kind of, do you guys smell that? I like involving another team member. And then she leaves. And then every single time he farts, Pinger, Judy shows up every time you fart. She'll have a Judy button. You smell, and she smells it, and she'll talk about it. You have a Judy button installed. And then after the 30-minute man third the first time you'd be like um i think i smell it but i can't think it's just our office
Starting point is 00:27:12 she's like no this isn't your office i've been in your office at other times and you and you don't i think you know what i think it could be this could be a really good plan if Judy doesn't say something that makes fart guy think that it's the, it doesn't address the fart directly. I think something must have died in here. Yeah, yeah. You know, like, I think. Maybe you start with, did somebody leave some food overnight?
Starting point is 00:27:39 There might be some food that's rotten in here. Right. You come up with, and every time Judy. Escalated. You got to generate a list for Judy to, that's rotten in here. Right. You come up with a, and every time, Judy. Escalate it. You got to generate a list for Judy to, it's always something different. I think something's eating that food that was left in here yesterday, and then it farted. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:54 And then the next day it's like, I think the thing that farted after eating the food that was left in here two days ago has now died in here. Blaming the fart on like a rodent, I kind of feel like it might be too close of an associate. I think we work our way up to the rodent farting. He thinks that he's getting away with it, but he's realizing if I don't stop,
Starting point is 00:28:14 it's gonna get traced back to me. So I need to plug it up. I need to take a walk. You said it yourself earlier. That's the other thing you could do. You could send them the article Rhett was talking about. It's like, after a meal, take a brisk walk. Get those farts out.
Starting point is 00:28:34 So it's just like, you know what we should do? After lunch, we should take a walk. And then you can fart during that walk. And I won't be there. I'm taking a different walk. That could be nice. That's it. So you give him- A post- during that walk. And I won't be there. I'm taking a different walk. That could be nice. That's it. So you give him...
Starting point is 00:28:48 A post-dinner walk. Fart walk. The thing about Judy is I don't love the feeling of now I've, like, talked shit about this guy, no pun intended, to Judy to get her involved. It seems a little gossipy. Well, it depends on what Judy's life is like. This could be a gift to Judy. I don't
Starting point is 00:29:07 know what Judy does. I know, but it's talking about him to Judy behind his back. Okay. So I don't love that part of the advice. But, I mean, he's farting behind his back. Yeah, he is. But, I don't know. I think the fundamental problem here... I would send him the article about the walk before I would start to bring Judy in.
Starting point is 00:29:28 The fundamental problem is that fart guy, until you do something, Jeremy. He's going to keep that. Fart guy is assuming that it's okay. Like some people fart. He doesn't smell it. And they're like, I don't think he's smelling it. He does not smell it. You know what I'm saying? He's probably not hearing it. Some people fart. He doesn't smell it. And they're like, I don't think he's smelling it. He does not smell it. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:29:46 He's probably not hearing it. Some people fart on a plane. Yeah. Oh. And they think, and they kind of are getting away with it because it's so hard to trace. Yeah. And you don't feel like it's worth it.
Starting point is 00:30:01 You've got to start spraying on the plane. In this situation, in an enclosed environment where if there's a fart that is being smelled and there's only two person and one of the people smelling it didn't do it. We know who else did it. You know, this is a mathematical certainty. Jeremy knows that this dude is farting. That's the beauty of math because it can tell you who's farting.
Starting point is 00:30:23 That's the beauty of math, because it can tell you who's farting. And I would say that the most direct, if none of these plans that we've just proposed, we've given you many options, if none of these work, then I think the most direct that I would be willing to tell you to be, because this is as direct as I would be willing to be, would be... It's like plant something that he's stolen, like office supplies. No, no, no. It's still too indirect. I'm saying if he had soup, whatever he had for lunch. Put some gas acts in it?
Starting point is 00:30:57 No, when he farts, be like, that soup really did a number on you, huh? There you go. A little humor. You're bringing it up. It's like, I know you farted, bro. That soup really did a number on you, huh? There you go. A little humor. You're bringing it up. It's like, I know you farted, bro. That soup did a little number on you. That soup really did a little number on you, huh?
Starting point is 00:31:12 That burger did a little number on you. There's a pattern here. That fill in the blank with what he eats every single day. Yeah. And then he'll be like, oh, yeah, I'm not getting away with this. And then maybe what he'll do is if he has to fart, he'll leave the office. Problem solved.
Starting point is 00:31:29 Yep, yep. I like that one. A facetious, playful investment. Did a little number on you, huh? The did a little number. Did a little number. Happens to the best of us. But mostly you and not me because I don't do that here.
Starting point is 00:31:49 Yeah. Now, you also have the opportunity. You can see this totally different. This is your chance. The door is open or something's open for you to start farting too. I mean, that's what we do. I mean, burnt at the desk, me burnt at my desk. I mean, that's how we did it.
Starting point is 00:32:10 One of us burnt first. Yeah. And then the other one started doing it, and that became the culture. But I will say that I tend to not do that if it's a day in which there's consequences, like smelling consequences sometimes you know it's just a it's a fart day and it's just for it's just for laughs and it's just for sounds yeah you know i'm saying yeah and uh but if it's a day where there's going to be consequences yeah i don't do it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:50 You can tell if it feels sour inside, it's going to be sour outside. I will say, I think if there's one between us who's maybe going to fart more in terms of make more noise, it would be me. There you go. But I think that if it's going to be one of us that make more smell, it's going to be you, just historically speaking. Like there's been a couple of times where you really needed to apologize to me. Well, you didn't do the diddle little number on me. You got to give me the diddle little number.
Starting point is 00:33:22 No, we talked directly about it. No, I want the diddle-iddle number. If you did a little number, then I'll know. That's how we do it. That's how we do it. Okay, if it's a stink day, I think you should know it. If it's a stinky-linky day, then I feel like you gotta take a walk. You gotta go outside.
Starting point is 00:33:41 I'm gonna say, hold on, you did a little number. I was working out, hold on, you did a little number. I was working out with Jessie this morning. Uh-huh. And, um... You know, when I do my stretches in the morning... Well, yeah. I mean, if you haven't seen that video of...
Starting point is 00:34:00 Yeah. We 3D printed a fart, then, um... And if you're into this conversation and you haven't seen that video on the Rhett and Link channel, you need to go over there and watch We 3D Printed a Fart. You need to. And if you don't like this conversation, you still need to watch it because... Yeah, yeah, yeah. It makes farts beautiful. It makes it beautiful.
Starting point is 00:34:20 Jessie doesn't... She's not amused by it. Mm-hmm, I know. She just kinda shakes her head. Yeah. She just kinda shakes her head, but if it's gonna be... That's what I'm for. But if it's gonna be a stinky one, I don't do it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:38 If it's just, hey, this is just a fun sound. If we're just making fun sounds, I'm there for it. And that's the number one reason I try to eat clean. Right. So I have the right to make fun sounds. Right. Well, you're welcome. Here we are again at the end of an Ear Biscuit. Again, a shorter one, but it ain't gonna always be this way.
Starting point is 00:35:03 Recommendation, we've already made it. Squat a little bit. Squat a little bit. Squat a lot. I can still do this. Hi, Rhett and Link. I'm calling from Japan. I'm studying abroad right now.
Starting point is 00:35:20 Good Mythical Morning and Ear Biscuits always help me remember my American roots. And I just listened to the Father's Day podcast. My dad and I are a bit estranged, so it's always nice to hear dad thoughts and dad-isms. Yeah, keep doing what you do. Appreciate you. Thank you.
