Today we get a little OCD about TV. Let’s talk about that. ( rings ) Good mythical morning! Mythical beasts, I hope you’re as hungry as we are because today we are dishing it out. We’ve got a bug-and-wine pairing, a nasty bug burrito, and a little later, we’ll cap it all off with some beatboxing. What? I could beatbox a little right now. ( both beatboxing ) Just to whet your appetite. Oh, that was pretty nice. Congratulations. You made it to the first video in today’s episode. And remember. Green means go. So to start each day at the top of a “Good Mythical Morning” episode, click the thumbnail with the green bar. The thumbnail. Okay, now, some people are so obsessed with a movie or a TV show that they have gone to incredible lengths to work out extremely intricate calculations related to the storylines, and because Link is so absolutely horrible with numbers, I thought it would be fun to play a game with him about those calculations. It’s time for… Link Neal, come on down. – Here I am. – You’re the first and only contestant on… – Whoo! – …Fiction Addition. – Yeah, man. – How you feeling, man? I’m so glad to be here on this show. Hey, man, lots of new games. Lots of new games. Again, for the first time. – We got a new board… – What? …with lights. I thought that was one of those things that’s on a mouse that, like, you know, – like a track ball. – It’s not a mouse wheel. – And we also have… – Track ball– touch the mouse. …Biker Stevie. ( hard rock playing ) ( chuckles ) There she is. She’s back and blacker than ever. – Okay. – Okay. ( laughing ) Okay, Link, here’s how we’re gonna do this. I’m gonna read you a question about some fan calculation about some property, you know, a movie, TV show. – Okay. – If you get three or more correct, you get your choice between a dollar bill and what’s in the mystery box. – Okay. – Can you remember that? Yeah, I always choose the mystery box. Okay, I know you ‘re going to do great on this because you’re so good with numbers. “Remember how ‘Lord of the Rings’ is just Elijah Wood’s little legs walking for 11 hours?” Yeah. “Imgur user mattsawizard figured out exactly how many miles it took Frodo and Samwise to get from the Shire to Mount Doom. Was it 1,350 miles? Or… 500– 5,500 miles.” 5,500. – At least– – I already know– I know what that number means. I just lost my place I’m sorry. 5,500 miles. Now, first of all, you said they made it to Mount Doom. – Spoiler alert! – Sorry. They made it to Mount Doom, and then the eagles took him away, and then Legolas died. – Spoiler alert. – Wow. I’m going for the bigger number, 50– How– how do you say that number? – Uh, 5-5-0-0. – 500 plus 5,000, 5– 5,500 He walked a lot, especially in the extended version. Okay, whatta we got? – ( buzzer sounds ) – Oo-ooh! That’s wrong because ♪ Elijah would walk 1,350 miles ♪ ♪ And Elijah would walk 1,350 more ♪ ♪ And I’m just happy that this lit up ♪ ♪ So I don’t even care that I got it wrong ♪ – ♪ Next question. ♪ – It worked. “If I remember correctly, ‘Friends’ was about a group of unemployed caffeine junkies who made fun of each other at a coffee shop.” – Right. – “And according to superfan Kit Lovelace, Phoebe drank the most cups of coffee throughout the run of the show. How many mugs did she guzzle on camera? Was it 2,700…” – Good gracious. – “…or 227?” Oh, gosh. How many episodes of “Friends” were there? There’s over ten seasons. I would say two-hundred and– over 200. Well, both answers are over 200. No, I mean episodes. 200 episodes of friends– I’d say, like, 230. It’s a network show. There’s 25 episodes in a season, and there were, like, 12 seasons, right? I don’t know. I’d say 236 or something. So I’m gonna guess, man, one per episode. That one. – Is he right? – ( dings ) Link! Your math worked this time. And the– the lights still work! Wow! Interestingly, all 227 are actually from the one famous episode, the one where Phoebe gets fatal diarrhea. Yeah. Lot of people don’t know that. I was more of a “Seinfeld” guy. Round three. – Spying ain’t easy. – Mm-mm. “In 2012, James Bond–” Just ask my neighbor. “Gordon ‘Stahn-ger’ or ‘Stayn-jer’ or ‘Stayn-ger’ calculated exactly how many bullets had flown at the famous spy up to that point.” – I love the Internet. – “How many times has 007 been shot at, Link?” – Oh. – “Is it 4,662, or 14,662?” “662” is in both. Well, there’s at least been 200 James Bond movies. Man. I mean, each– ( imitates gunfire ) ( imitates machinegun fire ) Sometimes the bullets come like that. ( imitating machine gunfire ) And some fool sat on the Internet and counted them all. ( imitates machine gunfire ) No, no, rewind it. – ( imitating machine gunfire ) – That– No, he– you are not a fool. – That is to be celebrated. – Yeah, yes. – I got it. – You’re a hero, sir. You’re trying to get me to go with the big number by going… ( imitates machine gunfire ) So I’m going with this number. Oh, reverse-reverse! – Let’s see if he’s right. – ( dings ) – Yeah! – Yay! You did it, Link, and 75 is the number of Bond girls that he should’ve treated with more respect. Yes. “My favorite part of the American version of ‘The Office’ was Jim’s pranks on Dwight. And a random Google user created a spreadsheet calculating the cost of every prank Jim played on Dwight through ‘The Office’s’ nine seasons.” That is great. “How much did Jim spend to prank Dwight?” – Man. – “Was it $3,102.05 or $113,880.05?” Mm. Oh, man. So great that somebody did this. Yeah, you keep reveling in that. That’s a lot of money. That’s a lot of money. Lot of money. And what is that, an “S” with two dots on it? That’s the new season’s version of a dollar sign. We’re gonna get lots of comments about it. I like the old dollar signs. I’m gonna say $113,880.05, so that you don’t make fun of the mythical beast anymore. Mythical beasts don’t make those kinds of comments. That’s true. It’s other people. Okay, is he right? ( dings ) – Yeah! – Yeah! Link– yeah, you’re right. – That’s not the right answer. – ( office phone ringing ) Neither of those answers are the right answer. This… is the right answer. – What? What? I’m confused. – ( buzzer sounds ) First of all, that frickin’ looked like you were on “The Office.” And second of all, what’s the answer? The answer– I just showed you on that video– Either option, you were wrong either way. Oh, and how much did that cost? – Uh, that right there? – Yeah. Actually that was $3,500 just to shoot that. But it looked great. Okay, Link, you’ve got two out of four because you could’ve have gotten that one right. And if you get this one right, you still get to make your choice. This is the best I’ve ever done. “Nothing is certain in life except death, taxes, and that there’s definitely an episode of ‘Law & Order’ on right now. According to the website t.me, how long would it take you to binge-watch every single episode in the “Law & Order” Franchise? That’s ‘Law & Order,’ ‘Law & Order: SVU,’ Law & Order: Criminal Intent,’ ‘Law & Order: Trial by Jury,’ ‘Law & Order: L.A.,’ and ‘Law & Order: True Crime.’” – Oh, goodness. – “Is it 46 days, 12 hours, and five minutes or 46 days, 12 hours, and 35 minutes?” Seriously? Okay, there’s a lot of fidelity in this– Oh, let me do my calculations. The top one. I don’t even know what it says. – ( buzzer sounds ) – Is he right? – No! – Oh, dang it, Link, you’re not right. Now, a clarification– “That total does not include the following short-lived ‘Law & Order’ series– ‘Law & Order: CVS,’ ‘Law & Order: Jaywalking Unit,’ ‘Law & Order: Mild Graffiti Unit,’ ‘Law & Order: My Uncle’s Cool Lake House,’ ‘Law & Order: Pizza Party,’ ‘Law & Order: Pizza Party Turbo,’ ‘Law & Order: The Secret of the Ooze,’ ‘Law & Order: Responding to Noise Complaints,’ ‘Law & Order: Turn on your Sirens to get through the Intersection.’” You got through all of that. And Stevie was like, “Get closer.” – Okay, Link, one more chance. – Oh, yeah. “We’ve eaten a lot of weird stuff throughout all our ‘Will Its, ‘ but what if that was all we ate? Well, according to our researcher Teresa’s calculations”– shout out to Teresa! T-T. T-T? I think she owns t.me. ( reading ) To clarify, “Once you’ve eaten the road kill corndog, for example, it’s gone forever and you can’t eat it again. Is it 44 days or 77 days?” Link, you really need to get this right, man. I believe in you. Well, I don’t know the science that went into the nutrition here. – Um… – Gotta ask T. How many? We’ve done– We’ve done so many Will Its. Like 35 or so. More than that. And there’s been several meals in every one. I gotta go with the bigger number. I think you can go 77 days, and I would’ve guessed much more than that. – Okay, is he right? – ( dings ) – Congratulations, Link! – Yes! You are our only winner. You get to make a choice between the dollar bill and what’s in the mystery box. Which do you want me to choose? Oh, the dollar? The box. What’s in the mystery box? ( whispering ) What’s in the mystery box. Hm, smell. Smells like paint. ( gasps ) It’s a check, guys. It’s a freakin’ check. “Link Nial.” $5,509.05. It’s actually “Lunk Nial.” Lunk Nial. I can’t cash this. ( mock laugh ) That’s the point. – You can keep the dollar, too. – “Lunk Nail.” All right, Link, congratulations anyway, and make sure you click to the next part of this episode. We’re going to eat bugs paired with wine. Be sure to visit mythical.store for our Black Friday sale, going on right now through Monday.
