- Where or where does it hurt most to pluck a hair?
- Let's talk about that.
(bright music)
(volcano erupts)
(fire crackling)
Good Mythical Morning.
- You ever wondered what's the most painful place
on your entire body to pluck a hair?
Well, we have.
- This is why you subscribe to us.
- Yeah. - We are your trusted advisors
on all the most important matters, right?
And this question's been nagging us.
So, we know it's been nagging you too.
So, do not worry.
Today, we are going to find out
the worst place to pluck a human hair.
- And we're gonna find out
because we're gonna pluck all the places.
And when I say all the places, I mean, all the places.
It's time for no one ask us to do this,
but we ain't no newbies!
We know the internet wants to see us
pluck our pube-a-loob-a-loobies.
- (laughs) Yeah. Okay.
I likey.
2021.
- Oh. - Ooh.
- Starting strong!
- Kicking it in high gear and getting our hurting in early.
Here the hell this is gonna work.
- Okay.
- Right now, we're gonna be plucking individual hairs
from various parts of our own bodies.
I mean, we may need to help each other out.
- I don't know if we need
that or not. - I don't know.
After each pluck, we're gonna be immediately ranking it
on a pain scale of 1 to 10.
One being not painful at all.
10 being maximum pain.
And then with the combined score
will be the official pain ranking
and be recorded on Mr. Pluck-It.
- [Rhett] Mr. Pluck-It?
- [Link] Mr. Pluck-It.
- Okay, at the end we're gonna definitively know
the most painful place to pluck a hair.
And you might be asking yourself, why does this matter?
Why is this important?
- How does this apply to your everyday life?
- Listen, you don't know the next time that somebody's
gonna be trying to extract information from you.
And they're gonna be doing that by plucking hairs
from different places on your body.
And you need to be able to tell them the places
that it seem like it would hurt, but it doesn't hurt
or vice versa if you're weird.
- So you'll have that information.
David, please bring forth
the official mother plucking tweezers.
Nice.
- [Rhett] Whoa. Look at that.
- [Link] That's right.
We've got some gold-plated or are they brass?
- They're brass.
- [Link] Or copper?
- They're copper.
- [Link] Oh, they're copper-coded brass?
- That's right.
- They're copper-coded brass and they have our names on them
and I'm not talking about Tweezerman.
That's the brand.
- I call myself Tweezerman.
But yeah, mine says, Link.
Yours should say, Rhett.
- [Rhett] Mine says Rhett.
Okay, Stevie.
You're gonna be leading us through this, right?
- [Stevie] Oh boy. I am.
(upbeat music)
For this first category.
We'll begin with all things head.
- Okay. - Okay.
- [Stevie] Starting at the top and working our way down.
Please begin by plucking a hair from your scalp.
- Oh gosh. - Oh, okay.
- I don't need tweezers for this.
- Which part? Are you gonna go for like?
- I'm going for like-
- Center of scalp?
- Sort of middle.
- Yeah, I'm going for some of these white.
- I'm gonna go. I'm gonna do it.
I'm gonna do it and respond.
Ow.
Four?
- Aah. - It isn't that bad.
- Oh that?
- It got the root too. Look at that.
All the way down.
- I'm gonna call mine a five.
- [Stevie] All right, we're gonna move on
to the eyebrows.
- Do we need to be keeping these and like eBaying it later?
- Yeah, they're gonna be given to Mythical Society members.
- Okay. (crew member laughs)
- I don't think you- - Eyebrow?
Now, you know, I pluck in between my eyebrows
and I've done that for years. - And I used to.
And I'll pluck, in fact,
I'm sure I can find a squirrely one here.
- [Link] Yeah.
- The long weird blonde one.
Here we go.
Oh, that's a three.
- Ooh. - I'm used to that.
- Some of them hurt really badly, but that?
Yeah, that one I'm given a three as well.
- [Stevie] Nostril.
- Oh, okay.
- Now again, I do this on a,
you know, semi-regular basis.
- I don't pluck them. I cut.
- Yeah, I used to pluck.
- [Link] Oh, long one is kinda deep.
Okay.
- I'm trying to get just one. - Oh.
Oh, I didn't get one. - Here we go.
Ugh. - Ooh!
- Oh, I got a good one. Look at that.
- Oh my goodness.
That's nasty.
Are we doing a good job with this, Stevie?
- [Stevie] You're doing a great job.
- I'm giving that a four.
- That was a two for me.
- [Link] That hurt.
- [Rhett] It really wasn't that bad.
- [Stevie] Moustache.
- Oh gosh.
- [Stevie] Which like, you can use the loose definition.
- I mean, I didn't shave this morning.
But I see there's one here.
You know, it's a white one.
I see a white one right here that's a little longer.
- I'll wait on you. I've got a squirrely one I can get.
- Oh my gosh!
Look how thick that thing is.
- That went deep.
Oh man, that went deep.
- Oh my gosh.
- [Rhett] Okay.
- [Link] That right there.
- [Rhett] Whew.
- I didn't get the white one. I got a black one.
And it whew, man, that was an eight.
- Okay, here we go. I got-
- That hurt.
- I got one that is kinda...
- Ah ho! Whoa! - Whoa. Yeah.
- Did you? I heard a pop in my ear.
That was...
Look at how much root came out.
- What if it pulled a tooth out with it?
- Then I would need to see the doctor.
Boy, I'm saying,
I think it could get worse than that,
but that was pretty bad.
Seven.
- [Stevie] Okay, take a deep breath.
We're moving on to the middle part of the body.
And you may wanna take your shirts off for this.
- We may?
- Okay. - Or we should?
- We should. - All right. We will.
(upbeat music)
- [Stevie] We begin with the armpit.
- Oh wow.
- The armpit, huh?
- I got some longies.
I'll trim these back every once in a while.
- I'm just trying to find.
- I gotta just find just one though.
That's the problem.
- [Link] I'm not able to grab.
Okay.
Did you see it pooch out?
- [Stevie] Yeah, but ugh- - All right, watch this.
Don't give your score yet.
Is mine pooching? - [Link] Yeah.
- Oh.
- Yeah, it felt good in a bad way, right?
- Five.
It wasn't pleasant, but it wasn't as bad as-
- [Link] Four.
- [Stevie] Nipple.
- Oh, I just put my shirt on top of all my hair.
Oh gosh.
- You lost your hairs?
- Oh, my hairs.
Oh, there they are.
- I didn't keep my hairs.
- Let's just keep it in there.
- I'll keep the ones that mean the most to me.
- I think that's just lint.
We'll get it. We'll figure it out.
- So you're talking about nipple, huh?
- [Stevie] It's nip time.
- Oh gosh.
- [Link] Okay.
I mean, most of the hair is around it,
but I'm really trying to...
- Okay. I got one.
I got one. I'm ready, okay?
Here we go.
Ah ho!
- Ooh! - Whoa.
Whoa and I got two by accident.
- I mean, that was a solid seven.
- It scared me more than it hurt.
Six.
- [Stevie] Okay, we're moving on the forearm.
- Okay, the forearm.
Okay, take your pick.
- [Rhett] Just one. Here we go.
Oh?
- Hm.
Four.
- That one broke off.
Six for me.
- [Stevie] Happy trail.
- Oh gosh.
- Happy trail.
Just put that thing down here.
(chuckles)
- [Rhett] I'm gonna go just below the belly button.
- I'm just discovering that a lot of hair that I have
is outside of the belly button,
but it grows and then goes in the belly button.
- [Rhett] Okay, I got one.
I got one. I got one.
- It's like, it's a black hole.
- (yells loudly) Oh! Oh ho ho.
Okay, now you're talking.
That was...
Whew, that was an eight for me.
- Oh, wow.
That did hurt.
- Unexpectedly.
- I think I got three at once, but that's a six.
- [Stevie] Okay.
It's time to move down to the lower portion of the body.
- Can I put up my shirt back on?
(laughs)
(upbeat music)
Okay, before we pluck some more,
I just wanna invite you and remind you
that our podcast, Ear Biscuits happens every week
in audio and also in video form
on the Ear Biscuits YouTube channel.
So check that out as we bare our souls.
You think this is intimate?
- Oh yeah. - Ha.
We'll wait till you hear those conversations.
- On a recent episode, we talk about the trip
that we took with our boys to Death Valley.
- Yeah, that was-
- Things got a little bit hairy.
(laughs dryly)
- Had some good stories. So check it out.
- All right. - Okay.
- What's next, Stevie?
- [Stevie] We're going legs next.
- Legs.
- Legs. Okay.
This is why we are in shorts.
- What part of the leg do you think you're gonna do?
- Now, my legs are in winter mode.
You know, in summer mode, I trim down all this hair.
- What?
- You know that.
I don't apologize for it. - Hold on.
But you're saying that you change it up for the seasons?
(crew laughs)
- For winter, I let the,
I get hairy knees, hairy toes, hairy ankles,
hairy everything to just make them warmer
underneath the pants. - Do you really think
it's making that much of a difference?
- I just don't want to do maintenance
when no one sees it, you know?
- Okay, that makes sense.
- You know the song, "Did I Shave My Legs For This?"
- [Rhett] Yeah.
- I don't shave them. I just trim them.
- Okay.
Well, you're gonna be able to see it a lot better
if I do it down here on camera.
That's the thing.
- Oh, you want it here?
I'll do it here. I mean-
- [Rhett] I got one.
- I can't just find one.
- [Rhett] Here we go.
Oh, this I feel is gonna hurt.
- Ooh.
- It doesn't hurt.
- It didn't hurt that bad.
That was a two, but-
- You know what?
'Cause these hairs fall out a lot.
- I'm gonna go-
- The terminal length of a leg hair.
- I wanna see how much more it hurts in my-
- It's pretty short.
- In like an upper thigh area.
- [Stevie] We got a lot to pluck, guys.
- Okay.
We're just curious.
Okay. (crew laughs)
- Oh, if it hurts less than the thigh,
I'm gonna give a three to the leg.
- [Link] Two for me. - We're going big toe next.
- Okay. Keep it up there.
- [Link] Big toe, huh?
I'm a little self-conscious about my,
about like the fro on my toe.
That's why I started trimming.
I would just trim that.
And then I trim these and then I trim here
and then I trimmed everywhere.
And then I found that I was happy.
- [Rhett] And then winter came and I stopped. (laughs)
(crew laughs)
- [Link] Look at all that flappy skin.
Woo. That hurts.
Ow!
Wow. That is painful.
- [Rhett] All right. I got one.
- Shaving is certainly superior.
- Oh, okay.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
It's a delayed reaction.
My sensor is a little bit delayed on that.
- I'll give that a six.
- [Rhett] I'm gonna give it a six as well.
- [Link] Yeah.
Woo, that hurt?
- [Stevie] Okay, it pains me to say this,
but we've reached our final category
where the official partition of plucking privacy
must be brought in and your pants must be taken off.
- Hold on.
When we said we wanted to do this.
- Yeah, we didn't mean that. - And we said we were gonna do
what we're about to do, I guess?
- We thought we-
- We were joking about that part.
- It was a joke. Yeah.
- [Stevie] Here we are.
(laughs)
(upbeat music)
- (groans) Okay. Whatever.
We're going all the way for you, so that you know.
- [Stevie] I'm just really glad that there's not
close up shots of this nether region portion.
- You and YouTube as well.
- I mean, there could've been two separate partitions.
(Stevie laughs) I'm just saying.
- Yeah, there's no partition between the two.
- [Stevie] This is cheaper.
- I'm focusing on myself, all right?
- [Stevie] Okay.
- And my pants are still up at this point
if you're wondering.
- [Stevie] Oh, well.
Get them down? I don't know.
The first thing is pubes. You gotta go for your pubes.
- Get them down? - We're not holding back.
- Get them down.
- [Stevie] Go right for the pubes.
- Do you mean pube-ba-looba-loo-bies?
- [Stevie] (laughs) Yeah.
- Can I hear you say that, Stevie?
- [Stevie] Oh come on.
(laughs)
I just had to look up a close up nip pics.
- We each have a role to play, Stevie
and yours is saying pube-a-loob-a-loobies.
- [Stevie] Pube-a-loob-a-loobies.
- (laughs) Wow. Okay.
All right.
- Hold on. Are you down?
Oh you're down.
- I've got pubes exposed.
- Oh, okay. - Holy.
- Well, I'm making eye contact, but I'm not making-
- [Rhett] Now I'm just gotta narrow it down to one. (laughs)
- [Link] Well, you know what?
I only have one.
(Rhett laughs)
(crew laughs)
- That's that's not a pube, man. (laughs)
- Well, I backed right into that one, didn't I?
- Okay. Here we go.
- Now, go for a low one.
- [Rhett] Yeah, well I got a good one.
- [Link] Alrighty.
- Here I go.
You wanna do on the count of three?
- [Link] Eh, you go first.
- Okay.
(grunts loudly)
(crew laughs)
Whoa. As you can see, I got more than one.
And as you can see it's-
- Goh!
- Just in case you were wondering,
it's a nice shade of light brown.
- Oh, okay.
- It's not really that dark of a forest.
It's more of a, you know, like chestnut.
- [Stevie] How did we get here already?
- Yeah, 2021.
- Speaking of chestnuts.
I'm gonna say
that was a seven.
- Oh that, yeah.
That was painful. - That was pretty intense.
- Yeah, you're right.
Seven. - Okay.
And I'm gonna put these over here next to the lunch box.
- [Stevie] No.
- No, don't, don't, don't, don't.
Put them on the curtain.
- I'll put them on the globe.
- No, put them on the globe?
Put them on the curtain.
- Okay, I'll put them up here. - Right in front of you.
- No! Put them on the curtain.
- [Rhett] Okay.
- Right here.
- [Stevie] Okay.
We're moving on to the...
Moving on to the testicles now.
(laughs dryly)
- Aah, what? (laughs)
- [Link] Okay.
So...
- [Rhett] Here we go.
And that was enough.
Okay, I got one.
You go first this time.
- [Link] Three, two.
Oh.
Snazzy.
Oooh, that was a eight.
- Okay, here we go.
Three, two.
(yells loudly)
Oh whoa!
(crew member laughing)
Same color.
That was a nine, my friends.
- We don't have to show it.
- [Crew Member] No!
- We don't have to show it.
Don't cut to the closeup of that.
- [Rhett] This is.
- There's no reason.
- For some reason, it's much straighter
than the ones on top.
- We don't need to talk about it.
- [Link] And we end.
- And that's it right?
- [Stevie] At the end.
The butt crack.
- Oh gosh. No.
- [Stevie] You see what I did?
- No.
(Rhett breathes deeply)
- Sitting here behind a curtain with my wanger hanging out,
thinking about the fact that-
- [Link] Hey.
- Stevie just told me to pluck my butt crack here
on the show that we broadcast to people.
- [Link] Should I sit?
- [Stevie] Isn't that better than in private?
- (laughs) You mean if I was just doing this on my own?
- How far down the crescent moon are you mining?
- I don't have to go far before I hit.
- [Link] Yeah.
- Before I hit gold. (laughs)
- Yeah.
I'm in like plumber exposure territory.
- I'm a little bit lower than that.
- [Link] Oh really?
- I'm one inch down the crack.
- I've got one, so I'm gonna go.
- [Rhett] Okay, go for it.
- Ow! Whoa, whoa!
(crew member laughing)
- Nine.
I'm done with showing it to people.
- Okay, here we go.
- I heard it pop.
- It's not that bad for me.
- Oh really?
- [Rhett] It's not that bad.
- Were you in the middle?
- Yeah, it's not that bad.
That's a five for me.
- [Link] Huh.
- Not as bad as the scrod.
- [Stevie] Okay, guys.
Why don't you pull up your pants
and we can go ahead and- - I already have.
- Tabulate the results.
- What do you want me to do with the hairs
that are just sitting right here in front of me?
- Okay.
- [Stevie] Okay, guys.
I think you've done some good work here today.
- Yeah, well I'm glad you said that.
- Yeah. - 'Cause I think
that this may rub some people the wrong way,
but at least it rubs you.
- Right.
- And you know what? This is a celebration of humanity.
- Yeah. Yeah. - You know?
- Nothing to be embarrassed about here.
- Some of us are hairier than others,
but we're all human.
- Yeah. - And we're
all in this together. - We all feel pain.
- Let's not pretend that we don't have hair butt cracks.
- Yeah, well some-
- [Stevie] So, the runner up-
- Unless you don't.
- [Stevie] Excuse me?
- Oh you.
I said, unless you don't.
- [Stevie] Oh, I thought you said don't you?
(laughs)
The runner up. (laughs)
Well, that. Okay. - For most painful place
to pluck a hair- - We can talk about that.
- [Stevie] Is moustache.
- Oh, the moustache is okay, number two.
(Link hums)
- [Stevie] But the winner
for the most painful place
to pluck a hair is
the testicles.
- Oh ho! Oh ho ho! (party popper crackling)
Yeah, that's something
to be celebrated. - Congratulations.
But not for me personally, but for us collectively.
- Right.
Oh, because I ranked it so high, you're saying?
- I think so. Yeah.
I know that I ranked other things higher,
but together and that's all that matters.
So now you know.
- Yeah and if you are being,
if somebody's trying to extract that information out of you
and they're gonna pluck hairs.
Don't say anything but the testicles,
because at that point they will go for the testicles
and they hurt the most.
Say, "Anything but the nostrils."
- Hm, remind you of anything?
(crew laughing)
Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell.
- You know what time it is.
- Hi, I'm Nomi in London, England.
I'm donating 13 inches of my hair of defeat.
(post box clanks)
And it's time to spin the Wheel of Mythicality.
- Awesome.
- Truly mythical.
- So, I didn't know when you donate the hair,
you can just put it into like a donation thing.
Do we have those in America?
- I hope that's how it works,
'cause that's what I just saw happen.
- All right, click the top link to watch this
guess whether a hair photo is from a horse
or a hunky long-haired man in "Good Mythical MORE".
- And to find out
where the Wheel of Mythicality's gonna land.
