- Today we clean your ears.
- Let's talk about that.
(alarm rings) (playful theme music)
(fire blasts)
Good Mythical Morning.
- The internet has more nooks and crannies
than a polygonal English muffin.
- Hm. - And one of the most niche
yet also most popular corners of the web
is made up of ASMR videos, some of our favorite.
You know about ASMR videos.
They're basically the ones where people do unusual things
to create interesting sounds that give brains
of the listeners a heaping handful of happy tingles.
- And contrary to what many people think,
ASMR isn't just mindless ice eating and foam crushing
being performed in front of GoPros and cheap microphones,
though if you are interested in ice eating
and foam crushing, may I recommend our ice eating
and foam crushing videos.
They're both great.
- Yes.
- So come with us now as we take a trip to
the weird part of the internet.
These days, ASMRists across the globe are using
the greatest technology available
to give your auditory cortex the tingle
it so desperately desires, for example,
have a look at what the girls over
at Rapunzel ASMR are up to.
- Two kinds of scratchings.
(soft scratching)
- Just because I don't understand this world,
doesn't mean that I don't love it.
- Right, okay, between us, we have one of those
really fancy 3D microphones that they have.
It's a binaural microphone.
Basically extremely sensitive microphone.
It's got a capsule in each ear.
- Mhm. - And so it allows you
to basically hear sounds just like you would hear them
in the real world.
- So this experience that we're about to take you on
is best had with earphones on,
so I encourage you to grab your earphones, put those on,
or head buds or whatever they're called these days.
- Usually earbuds and headphones.
- But if you don't have 'em-- - But you mix it up
and it doesn't matter, that's why we love you.
- This is still gonna be weird even if you don't have those,
so let's get to cleaning some ears.
I'm speaking into your ear.
- And I'm speaking into your other ear.
- And of course we're gonna clean your ears today.
- And we want to respect your cleanliness,
so we're going to put on our rubber gloves.
(rubber rustling)
- Yes we're just gonna ease our fingers
right into our rubber gloves.
- My hand is so sweaty, so it's difficult--
- I've got one glove on. - I can't get my fingers
into my glove 'cause my hands are just so sweaty
'cause I'm so excited.
(snapping rubber)
- There we go, both gloves.
I've won the glove race.
- I need some baby powder.
- Now next, just relax.
I've purchased this amazing ear cleaning kit
on Amazon.
I just opened it in your ear.
- Amazon didn't have another ear cleaning kit,
so I have a dental kit.
- And I'm gonna start shoving this metal device in your ear.
There we, oh-- - Sorry.
(chuckles softly)
- Watch out.
I'm just rubbing the inside of your ear
with this metal device.
It feels great to you, I'm sure.
- You've got some ear tartar.
- You gotta really scrape it.
I'm gonna scoop it a little bit.
Just a little scoop, then I'm gonna taste it.
(smacking lips)
It's pretty good.
You've got a really strange diet, I can tell.
- What have you been getting into?
You've been a bad boy.
- Oh look a what I've got here.
(Rhett chuckling) - Sorry.
- I've got a ball of floam.
- You've been a bad person.
(chuckling softly)
For those who enjoy a more intense wax removal sensation
like I do, there's only one thing that'll do the trick.
- [Together] Floam.
- I'm gonna shove it deep in your orifice.
- I've got orange floam on this side.
- Okay.
I don't even know if you can hear me anymore,
but there's floam all over your ear region.
(floam squishing and sticking)
Look at that.
Now we're gonna just pluck a little bit away.
Just a little bit.
Okay.
Yes, I'm just-- - I don't understand.
- I'm just plucking out some floam.
Your ear is covered in floam.
Don't sleep on floam anymore.
There's all these.
Okay, now I'm gonna--
- Do you like that as much as I do?
- I'm a good floam plucker.
- Okay, any good ear cleaning should always include
a deep ear shave.
- There it is.
(Link spits)
- Oh, I can't believe how much hair you have in there.
We gotta do something about that, mister.
(razor whirring) - That's right.
A little hair, a hair trimmer.
Oh goodness.
(razors whirring)
- So impressive.
Your hair is so impressive.
- Oh yeah, that's it.
I think I got it all.
- Clean as a whistle, whistle, whistle--
- [Together] Whistle, whistle.
(Link whistles like a bird) (Rhett chuckles)
- Now this whole ASM ear trend got us wondering,
why isn't ASMR for your nose a thing yet?
Well now it is.
- Good question.
There we go, we're just putting your nose on you,
don't worry.
- Oh your nose is so big.
(chuckling softly)
- Wow.
And you know what, we're gonna place a head on you there
just because, look at that.
- You look incredible.
- You're a complete human.
- But we gotta get something,
we gotta get some stuff out of that big honker.
- I got some dinky chopsticks here.
(tapping chopsticks lightly)
Yes.
- I don't know why we're using chopsticks.
- 'Cause you gotta pull out the boogers.
All right we're pulling out your boogers.
Oh there's one. - Wow.
How'd you get so stuffed?
Wow, really?
Opps.
Look at that. - Ew.
- Salty, so salty.
- Oh there we go.
There it comes.
- What on earth have you been smelling?
- Have you been in some sort of industrial environment?
Without a respirator?
- We gotta take it up a notch with this blue thing.
- Oh yeah the blue thing.
(blue thing whirs)
I think our friend is having some trouble penetrating.
(drill whirs)
I think I'm just stuffing it further in there.
- There we go.
Just relax.
Keep breathing.
- Okay, now that we've mastered ASMR nose and ear cleaning,
we're gonna combine ASMR with Hasbro's game
Speech Breaker.
It's time for--
- [Rhett And Link] Will I be an ASMR maker
or a sound faker when I use this here Speech Breaker?
Paid for by Hasbro.
- [Link] Bro.
- Our friends at Hasbro heard about our interest
in ASMR and they said, and I quote,
"Hey Rhett and Link, you like audio-based fun?
"Then have we got something for you."
This is their new game Speech Breaker
and here's how you play it.
One player puts on the headset, takes a microphone
and then draws a card which has a who, what, where scenario
written on it and that player describes
the who, what, where scenario into the microphone
without saying any of the actual words.
- But here's the catch, when you talk into the microphone,
you hear your own voice in the headphones on a delay
which totally messes with your brain
and makes it really hard to talk.
Very similar to the speech jammer that we have used
to make prank calls in the past on this show.
Then the other person has to guess the exact scenario
that the speech broken person is trying to describe.
- But what if we combine Speech Breaker with ASMR?
Well it turns out, we can.
We have created these game cards here
that have specific actions written on them.
Basically they're descriptions of ASMR videos
that exist out there in the world.
- Right, one of us will put on the headphones
and draw a card and using our best ASMR voice, okay,
we are gonna act out the actions associated with the title
of the ASMR video on the card,
and we cannot use any of the do not say words
that are also written on the card, okay?
- Yes.
- I'll guess first, so get ready to be speech broken.
- Okay, now, I'm gonna put these sound dampening headphones
over this just for recording purposes
so you don't hear the delayed voice that I am hearing.
- All right the button's right there and then you'll have
a set amount of time to give your clues.
I don't even know if you can hear me right now.
(Rhett exhales)
- What? (chuckles)
Okay, here we go.
(newscaster music)
Okay.
I've got this
very carb heavy loaf.
And I'm slicing it up.
And then I put it into the pieces from the loaf together.
And in between the two pieces of the la-loaf,
I'm putting-utting fish.
And then I'm mixing the fish with a white cream--
(static crackles)
That's it.
- You sounded like Dwight Schrute telling a spooky story.
(crew laughs)
- What was I doing, Link?
- Oh my gosh, okay.
- Sorry.
- You're making a mayonnaise and fish san-wish.
(crew laughing)
- Mhm, and then what would that typically be called?
- A tuna sandwich. - Yes!
- Oh! - Yes, I am making
a tuna salad sandwich, but yes.
- You had to give me an extra clue but--
- A mayonnaise and fish, I'll take the mayonnaise and fish.
- I didn't know how, ASMR videos can be weird.
I would click on mayonnaise and fish sandwich ASMR.
(newscaster music)
- Oh yeah yeah.
(Rhett chuckling)
Okay,
father.
I just want-to-buh-tah-tah-take a seat on this chair.
I'm a-put a robe around you and I'm gonna touch your head
and the stuff that grows.
I'm gonna shorten the sa-ta-tuff that gah-bah-rows
off of your head, Father. (crew laughing)
You think you-you know-know what I'm doing to ya?
- Yeah. - Okay.
(static crackles)
It's done.
- Giving my dad a haircut ASMR.
- Yes! - Yeah-hea-hey!
- Exactly. - Really, that's it?
- While eating a what?
- Slurpee.
- Nope, a fish and mayonnaise--
- [Together] Sandwich.
- Okay here I go.
(newscaster music)
Oh-kay.
I've got a little-ittle friend.
And she's so small and she doesn't move.
But I play with her. (crew laughing)
And I've gotta get her ready for the big dance.
The big high school da-dance that everybody looks forward to
and the joo, junior and senior--
(static crackles)
- Okay.
I know we're working with prom,
but the little friend?
You're getting a little friend.
Preparing my doll
for the prom ASMR?
- Yes, it's getting my doll ready for prom ASMR.
Yes (hands slap), my little friend!
- Action. (newscaster music)
(Link moans quietly)
Okay, girl.
I want you to come over here and get in this tub,
'cause I've, I've-I've made lots of liquid flow into it.
I just, get inside so I can rub you all over.
(chuckling)
All over, 'cause you're so-so hairy.
And oh yeah, you're getting so clean.
How we gonna-- (static crackles)
Okay.
How was that, for you?
It was great for me.
- Giving my dog a bath ASMR.
- Yes! (chuckling)
