Fan Question 1
Rhett and Link then play pattycake and Rhett explains they like to bake answer pies. Today's question is:

How do you relax with a hectic schedule? - Darragh O Connor

Link answers that they both go surfing. However, other surfers can cause stress. Link tells a story of how he was paddle-boarding in Malibu. He was waiting in line and sees an old man also paddle-boarding. The old man starts shouting at another surfer saying he cut him off and then starts to use lots of colorful language towards them. Link found this stressful. The surfer then replied that he was a Navy SEAL and he will kill him with his bare hands. Link was both scared and impressed.

The answer to the question is don't go surfing.

The Internet Is A Weird Place
This was followed by The Internet Is A Weird Place segment. The website for this week was donothingfor2minutes.com submitted by @1TaylorSimone. The aim of the website is to sit still and not touch the mouse or keyboard for two minutes.

In a previous episode, Rhett and Link has watched Randy & Dandy Mandy's VHS series video about Hot to Not Eat Like a Dork. They watched another episode on meditation called How to Meditate Not Like a Dork.

Randy and Dandy reveal that the key to meditation is to clear your "mind dumpster" of all the "thought garbage" and the way to do that is to repress everything - don't deal with your emotions, squish them into a bloody pulp. Get an object and squash it like your emotions. Dandy rips up a bear as part of this to get over his regret for dumping Sandy. He starts to cry and is upset about the ripped bear.

Rhett and Link then remind viewers to share their weird websites at theinternetisaweirdplace.com. The winner of the limited edition TheInternetIsAWeirdPlace.com T-shirt was Jeremy Hancock for his website randomgoat.com on the theme of animals. They announce the next month's theme as "Scary".

Fan Question 2
The next question was:

How do I relax when I have to pee, but don't want to get up? - Madison Ostermeier

Rhett and Link then reveal they have been wearing adult diapers the whole episode.

Fan Question 3
The next question was:

How do you relax? - Preston Forrest

Rhett reveals that one of his go-to resources for answering questions is wikiHow. They thought the advice from the How To Relax page was so good they had to demonstrate it for the viewers.

''Step 1: Stay away from social media outlets. Try to spend some time away from these things to help your anxiety.''

Rhett asks Link a question about an Instagram filter and Link smacks the phone out of his hand shouting "Stay away!".

Step 2: Take active steps toward making time where you are unreachable.

Link tries to rub off something from Rhett's shirt. Rhett dodges him to make himself unreachable.

''Step 3: Create "your" space. It doesn't matter if it's a chair in a corner and some lit incense or a room full of golden or burgundy pillows.''

Link spray paints some pillows Rhett is holding, one gold and one burgundy as he is relaxing.

''Step 4: Give hugs. Go on the positive offensive and reach through to people who seem down and negative.''

Rhett is so down and negative. Link runs in and hugs him while shouting about being on the positive offensive.

''Step 5: A little animal time a day can go a long way. If you don't have your own pet, consider borrowing a friend's dog.''

Rhett steals Link's dog, claiming he is just borrowing it.

Rhett reminds the viewers to watch Campin' while Link spins the Wheel of Mythicality. It lands on "Two short-necked giraffes".
