Anyone who isn’t dead or from another plane of existence would do well to cover their ears right about now.

Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
This warning treats an ordinary audience as unprepared for what's coming. Excluding only the dead and the otherworldly makes the threat feel absurdly total, as if nearly everyone present should brace themselves. The advice to cover one's ears follows right behind that broad exception.
