Mewing

Episode 357

9th February 2021

Would you believe that without spending a single cent, with just a slight movement of your tongue you could breathe better, sleep better and perhaps even … become your most beautiful self? You probably wouldn’t believe that, because you listen to Sawbones. You probably would believe that the simple, possible effective technique called “Mewing” has been co-opted by incel culture though, right? Yeah, that sounds like Earth.
