Summary

This week is an "Ear Biscuits" first as Rhett & Link host two guests in one episode: Colleen Ballinger and her politically incorrect, tone-deaf, fame-obsessed character, Miranda Sings. In the first portion of the podcast, Miranda takes us through the thought process behind her popular tweets such as "my mouth tastes like brown" and "I smell that crees" after which Colleen discusses the creation of Miranda, her cult following in the professional musical theater community, and what her future holds online, on TV, and on stage.

0:00.0	Welcome to Ear Biscuits. I'm Link. And I'm Rhett. This week at the round table of dim lighting,
0:07.7	our guest is Colleen Ballinger. She's best known as her alter ego Miranda sings,
0:12.4	a politically incorrect tone deaf, fame obsessed, red lipstick personality.
0:16.9	So we did something a little bit different on this Ear Biscuit for you. We decided to ask
0:23.8	Colleen if we could speak to Miranda directly. Have a conversation with her.
0:29.3	Yeah, this is like when I guess when somebody's possessed and you need to speak directly to the
0:33.9	demon, which I've never done. I've never seen it done. It's like kind of a say-on-s kind of
0:38.8	situation. That is not what happened, but it's the best analogy I can come up with. Not really.
0:43.3	I mean, she just put on lipstick in a shirt and did her hair a little bit differently. And boom,
0:48.4	she transformed right before our eyes. But it's very convincing because when I am talking to Miranda,
0:53.4	I do, I feel like I am talking to a different person. I mean, I am, it is totally believable here
0:58.6	in person. So hopefully the audio will be. Yeah, see if you get that same sensation. We talked
1:03.9	to Miranda for a few minutes and then moved on to talk to Colleen. But one of my favorite things
1:08.0	is reading Miranda's tweets. Her Twitter stream is random. It's pretty inexplicable.
1:14.9	So I was like, yes, we have an opportunity to get Miranda to explain herself. So I think we gained
1:20.2	insight into the psyche of the character. And then, you know, after a few minutes of that,
1:25.5	we had her transform back into Colleen and had the bulk of our conversation with the person behind
1:31.4	Miranda and got the psychology behind, you know, what even there's like three levels of psychology here.
1:39.2	I was very fascinated. And I only took one level of psychology. So I tuned out a while ago when
1:43.2	you were explaining. Yeah, and I slept a lot. Since Miranda's introduction in 2009, Colleen has
1:48.3	traveled the world performing as Miranda for audiences literally on multiple continents.
1:54.7	And she's garnered just over 150 million views and 1.3 million subscribers collectively on YouTube.
