I was thinking that Legitimate sounds a lot like The Ranch! I would love to see it!

I like the Legitimate, Unattended Baggage and the Charlie Horse ideas. If I had stings to pull I would pull some strings to get them made.

A lot of these are killer ideas that I’d totally watch even if I had no idea who Mythical was - I’d love to see some of them resurrected!! This episode was so enjoyable to listen to!

Last night, I wore my Cotton Candy Randy Warhol shirt to a family get together. I was explaining the character to my brother-in-law, and then my niece comes in with a Butt Drugs t-shirt. I had to explain to them how the same duo was behind both shirts, and it made me realize just how many great ideas you guys have had and how ubiquitous you are. So, failed ideas happen, but you have a pretty spectacular batting average.

you guys could do a funding situation for "Unattended Baggage" from fans like us - and then sell it to an OTT platform for distribution.

I waited a whole extra week to watch the video version of this podcast. So looking forward to this!

That cartoon is seriously funny. I wish it wasn't in a rejected idea podcast.

I really want to see more Unattended Baggage even more now. I’m so interested in Damnyell and Cotton Candy Randy’s childhoods. Also, I love that Charles just knew people who raced lawnmowers. I’d watch anything you guys did.

You guys need to launch a Kickstarter campaign. Critical Role is doing it seemingly to great success.

Legitimate sounds hilarious- like Netflix level

Please don't give up on this!!!! On a personal level it's good to know that even you guys have projects that don't work out. I'm sorry they didn't but everyone should always try to follow their dreams don't be afraid of failure!!

The dislikes are from the people fired who were supposed to work on unintended baggage.

When you were talking about the dad getting the girlfriend pregnant all I could think of is when my great grandad ran away with my grandads (his sons) wife and making a family. Haha i know it’s hard to believe but damn, it’s so real, I feel so bad for my grandpa

Is this the first time that they've acknowledged the fact the ccr and damnyell are played by jordan and rhett?? XDD

I hope you do manage to do something in traditional media someday and I will watch it.

One of my favorite things about Liz Gilbert is how upfront she is about her experiences with failure, with losing everything she holds precious. Great recommendation!

There are some darn peak ideas in there.

Hi, board certified music therapist here. So glad you guys didn't stick with "musical therapy". Because that's a little bit of a pet peeve in the field. We're music therapists, not musical therapists 😂 keep up the great work, and I love your stuff! Been watching you guys for years

The Charlie Horse idea is similar to Futurama aliens watching "Singe Female Lawyer" (Ally McBeal) and it was cancelled. So they came to earth wanting to know what happened and found out it wasn't real and hilarity ensued.

31:50 the Mars thing is a real thing that NASA is doing, though I doubt they're making a show out of it 😂

Wait wait wait, buddy system is free now.

Unattended Baggage is totally a viable show. There are so many garbage television shows and movies out there right now, but this is super creative and unique and clever! I could totally see the show taking off. I hope there’s still a chance for it to be picked up by a network.

I really like videos showing your creative process, and management as a company (the Dell series for example). Please do more! 🙏

I was so sad after watching the sizzle real for Unattended Baggage because the whole time I thought you guys were joking about it not happening and at the end you'd be like "surprise this comes out in August!" Would so love to see it come to fruition ❤

If there were ever a wonderful example of what therapy can do for a person and, after a time, encourage others to try therapy, listen to the Ear Biscuits #122 about GMM22. This was recorded in the heat of the programming change at GMM. GMM MBs would have listened at the time, but listen again for a very different reason. Rhett's take on the situation in the moment is wildly different than what his take would be now. The difference between the Rhett of 2017 and the Rhett of 2021 is remarkable, fascinating, and awesome.
