GMM 1259.3: Grammy Nominated Song or Bathroom Poetry? (GAME)

(upbeat music) – As you might know, the Grammys are happening again this Sunday. – Yeah, I’m pulling for Childish Gambino, but I’m not gonna complain if Kendrick takes it in both cases. But I’m very excited that– – Who are you gonna complain to? – Uh, you. No, well, I said– – To the Academy? – I said I’m not gonna complain. – Okay. – If neither one of them win, them I’ll complain to you, but that’s it. – Are you gonna complain if somebody else wins? – Yes, to you. – Okay. – If neither one of them win, then I’m complaining to you. I’m not gonna go to Twitter. Are you okay with this? You seem concerned. – I haven’t thought about it a lot until right now. – Okay, well, you don’t need to think about it. Save all of your thoughts for figuring out if what I’m going to present to you is a lyric from a song from a Grammy-nominated artist. – Okay. – Or if it’s from a poem written on a bathroom wall stall. – I’ve done that a few times. – Okay? And in true Grammy fashion, I do not know the answers to any of these questions. They are going to be revealed– – Oh, look at that, fancy. – In these envelopes here. – Is that a gold leaf? – [Link] It’s time for Is This Song From a Grammy-Nominated Artist or a Gas Station Fartist. (chuckles) – (chuckles) Fartist. – Have you ever been a gas station fartist? – Yeah. – You know, you’re sitting there. Other people have scrawled some stuff. You’re like, “Oh, I’m gonna make mine rhyme. “I’ma do a little poem here.” – I took a crap at a gas station last week. (audience laughs) – That wasn’t my question, but please tell me about it. – I didn’t write anything though. I didn’t think about it. I used to do that as a child though. – Right. – I was definitely one of the graffiti guys. – I was one of those guys who would take a pocketknife and like carve it in so there’s nothing they could do. I wasn’t. – No, you weren’t. You didn’t bring a pocketknife to school. – All right, here’s the first lyric. Self-esteem is more important than your mini skirt on a 20-degree night. Think about that. They’re making a statement, kinda being sassy. – Pretty judgemental. – So you’re saying, right off the bat, you do not recognize this as a song lyric from a Grammy-nominated artist. – (mumbles) artist? – But that doesn’t mean– – No, I don’t listen to Grammy-nominated music. – You’re too cool for that. – That’s right. – I’m into subgenres. – Fartists. – I think this is a song. It seems too clever for the bathroom. – And the winner is, (drum roll) this is a bathroom wall! – What? (buzzer blares) No. – There’s the proof. Self-esteem is more important than your mini skirt on a 20-degree night, signed L. All right, you got that one wrong, but I’m still saying if you get three right, you win a prize. It is an amazing trophy. (audience laughs) – So tempting. – Cheese danish is delicious, theology is fictitious. – Cheese danish is delicious, theology is fictitious. This feels like a rap. – Feels like a rap? – Delicious, fictitious (mumbles). – A lot of aspiring rappers have to take crappers. (audience laughs) – I mean I don’t know, you’re rhyming delicious with fictitious. You can’t leave that in the bathroom. – You gotta put that in your notebook. – You gotta put that out for the world to hear. I’m gonna say this is also a song because I was wrong the first time. – He’s saying this is a song. (drum roll) The winner is, no, it is also a bathroom wall. (chuckles) – [Rhett] This guy needs to be a Grammy artist. – Yeah, maybe he will be one day, or she. – Now let’s think about what it means. Cheese danish is delicious, true. Theology is fictitious. Hmm, wow. (audience laughs) – It’s an atheist who likes continental breakfast. – Yeah. – I think that’s what’s going on. – That’s our biggest demo. (Rhett and Link laugh) – Just trying to keep my t-shirt clean. – Ah, yeah, that’s a song just because I’ve said bathroom stall, I’ve said song twice and it’s been bathroom stall. – So you don’t, you’ve never heard this in a song. – I mean maybe. I don’t really listen to the lyrics. You’ve heard me sing back lyrics. I’m always wrong. – You’re always wrong. – I just take in the song and the instruments as just one big wall of sound. There’s no reason to try to decipher what people are actually singing about. – But this, just trying to keep my t-shirt clean, is certainly something that I do every time I’m in the crapper. – (laughs) That is definitely true, especially when you got one of those– – You don’t want it lapped underneath your thighs. – And I’ve been wearing some of those long Bustin Jieber ones. – Yeah, right. (chuckles) – You can get those wet on both sides. – Yeah, you gotta really pull it up. – Yeah, yeah, yeah. I tie it up, right under the nipples, tie it up. – One time, he walked out of the bathroom and he had his t-shirt tied up here like a midriff. – And I forgot. I was just, “I’m just trying to keep my t-shirt clean!” – I didn’t tell him. Okay, you’re saying this is a song lyric. – Song. – Let’s see if he’s right. (drum roll) – You’re having trouble. – Yes, this is a Grammy-nominated artist. – [Rhett] Yes! – It’s from the Foo Fighters song T-Shirt off their 2017 album, Concrete and Gold. I saw Dave Grohl in a Habit Burger. – Yeah. – I’ve told that story, with my son. I didn’t wanna look directly at him, but there were mirrors along one wall at Habit. – So you looked into the mirror. – I just kept staring at him through the mirror. – People can’t see when you’re looking through the mirror. – My son who was I think 10 at the time, Lincoln, said, “Dad, stop staring at him. “He can still see you through the mirror.” – Did he have on sunglasses? – No, he was super cool. He was talking to the burger people. – Oh, he actually made his own order? – He came to pick up his order, yeah. He took it out. That’s why I had to chase him into the parking lot to speak to him. I didn’t. I had to be cool in front of my kid. – I wouldn’t put it past you. – This is not the high road. It’s not the low one either, Goldilocks. It’s the middle way. – This is not the high road. It’s the low one. – [Rhett And Link] It’s not the low one either. – Goldilocks. – It’s the middle way. Very cryptic. I can definitely see that being on a toilet wall. – It doesn’t sound too rhythmic. You know what I’m saying? ♪ This is not the high road ♪ ♪ It’s not the low one either ♪ ♪ Goldilocks ♪ I mean there’s just so many, it’s so hard to find a way to make that work as a song. – If you’re Bruce Springsteen I mean or whoever you were– – Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, I’m gonna say this is bathroom. Please be right. (drum roll) Keep hope alive. – It’s a bathroom wall. – [Rhett] Yes! – Congratulations. It’s multiple people have written this. – [Rhett] No, I think this is the same person coming back over and over again. – It is the bathroom guys, spoiler alert. Yeah, that’s a good way to do it. I’m gonna start doing that, just leaving open-ended poem. – Let’s start doing it here. – Which explains why it didn’t rhyme or make any sense. – Right. – Okay. – It is the middle way. – If you want the amazing trophy– – I do. – It’s Grammy and toilet themed. If you can win, use it as a paperweight. Or try to eat it, I don’t know. You have to get this one right. I let the seasons change my mind. – I let the seasons change my mind. – I let the seasons change my mind. – This is like one of those before and after Wheel of Fortune puzzles. – No, it’s not. How is it? – Because it’s got a link in the middle. – I let the seasons change– – I let the seasons change– – [Rhett And Link] My mind. – Change my mind. – Could have been two people on a bathroom stall, like one finishing the other one, like my mind in parenthesis. – If I can see Vanna White just reveal a little piece of it, a, I’d lock that away in my mind for later, and b, she’s from Myrtle Beach. Do you know that? – She’s from Myrtle Beach. Did you know that? – Myrtle Beach, yeah. Every time you mentioned Vanna White, my dad says, “She’s from Myrtle Beach.” Like dad, we know. – Good with letters. She knows them all. – This is a song, for the win. (drum roll) – For the win, is this a song? Congratulations, Rhett! – Yes! – [Link] You win the Canny Award. There it is. – Oh. – This is from Lorde’s song, Writer in the Dark off her album Melodrama, which is nominated for Album of the Year. – She’s so smart with the lyrics. – She’s such a smart lyricist. She’s from New Zealand. – You think I could pee in this on the road? – Not on my road. – I’ve been using a Gatorade bottle for years, but now I’m gonna start using this. – Is there a hole in the bottom. Look, it’s got your name on it. There you go. – Congratulations to me. Thanks for liking, commenting, and subscribing. – You know what time it is. – Hey, what’s up?
