GMM 1907: Can We Beat Our Fans’ Weird Talents? (Challenge)

Today is a Mythical showdown. – Us versus you. – Let’s talk about that. (upbeat music) Good Mythical Morning. – Today we’re doing a weird talent battle with the toughest and oddest competitors we know. You. – You. – You. – You. Yeah, see, we found you out. You’ve been hiding a strange talent from us, but what is the point of having a strange talent if you can’t use it to challenge your favorite internetainers? – So, we thought we’d fix that. A while back on social we asked you to confess to us, just confess to us, and send us videos of yourself doing your best strange hidden talent. – And we promised that we wouldn’t share it with anyone. (laughs) We were lying. By the way, if you don’t wanna miss out on prompts like this, be sure to follow us on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat and Facebook at Mythical. – Mm-hmm, okay, now the moment of truth has finally arrived. Can we beat y’all at your own weird games? We’re gonna find out. It’s time for beat the beasts. (lion roars) – Welcome to the talent zone. We’re going to be playing together as a team against all of you talented mythical beasts, or as the British say, the royal you. – That’s exactly how they say it. – Mythical beasts. – We’re gonna see a clip of a mythical beast doing their strange talent, then we’re gonna decide which one of us is best suited to try and beat it. And then, the chosen one will attempt that talent. – All right, and this is gonna be really official. We have got five judges joining us remotely. They’re also Mythical crew members. You got Chris, Emily, Java, Jenna and David Hill. Hey, hey, hey. – Hi guys. Now, I do wanna clarify quickly, for those of you who might be wondering, Chris is not cosplaying as my character from our band, Chonk. This was totally accidental and I am not joking. (laughing) – I don’t think Chris is joking either. I think that’s just a fashion statement. – Yeah. – For him. (Emily laughs) So, you guys gonna be hard on us? – Yes. (laughs) – Pretty quick with that. – And you know what? You should be because we’re gonna beat you guys outright, and their votes are gonna reflect that. Now, each point– – Top it. – Each round gets a point, it either goes to us, or it goes to you guys, and in the end, if you win, then we have to improvise and perform the “We Did it Wrong” song for all of you in “Good Mythical More”. But if you lose, then you gotta spam the comments on this video talking about how awesome we are. – Yeah, say something like, “Rhett and Link are a couple of awesome possums” or something that comes naturally to you. – Okay, let’s see the first talented beast. – Hi, I’m Mitch from Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, and my talent is I can play the public domain song, “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” on a kazoo while keeping time by hitting my head while wearing chain-mail with a tambourine. (“Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” on kazoo) (tambourine tapping) (laughing) – That was awful. – (laughs) Hey, come on, it was– – Well, it was– – It wasn’t bad. It wasn’t really in tune. – It wasn’t in tune but it was, kind of, on beat. – It was, kind of, on beat. – We gotta choose which one of us is up to the challenge. We’ve got the chain-mail here. – I’d like to volunteer for this just because I’m just thinking that– – You don’t think I can do it? – No, I’m just saying, between the two of us, I play the guitar when I sing so I’m used to having a hand go at the same time that I’m singing. – I do the hip motion. – But the hips are not in play, it’s the hand. So, I mean, just for team Rhett and Link, I feel like I should step up for this challenge. – Yeah, yeah, yeah. – And plus, I’ve been growing my hair out and my beard out so I can look like a knight. – Of course, you may not be able to get this thing back off. – Ow, man. – Are you sure? You wanna put your hair in there? – I don’t. Do we have, like, a beanie I can wear over this and then do this? ‘Cause it will be difficult to get it back off. (beeps) – Do you remember the song? Don’t forget the song. – It’s public domain. – And he didn’t know the tune, so do you know the tune? – Yeah, but I think listening to him may have thrown me off. – Your hands are sweaty, grazed my hand. – I’m nervous. – We gotta get this point. This is the first one. It’s probably gonna get harder. (kazoo humming) Don’t screw this up. (“Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” on kazoo) (tambourine tapping) – Yeah. Come on. Yep. Let’s go. Yeah, judges. – How’s that? (Emily applauding) – They are wowed. Okay, Emily’s clapping. – [Stevie] Okay, Mythical crew, did Rhett beat the beast? I’m gonna need your answer via paddle in three, two, one. A resounding yes. – Five for five. – Clean sweep. Any notes to improve? – No. – No, something tells me it’s going to get more difficult. – Okay, all right, good start. Let’s see the next one. – Hey Rhett and Link, I’m Chris from Toronto. I can play the yo-yo and beat-box at the same time. (beat-boxing) – (laughs) A little bit of that. Okay, I think this is clearly your job. – Oh, okay, I see how this is. Chris from Toronto, Canada. – That was impressive, that was impressive. I mean, now, he’s got a special. Here’s the thing. I know you can beat-box and I know you can yo-yo. Now, he’s got a lot on this record scratching, which you typically don’t do the (makes record scratching sounds). So, I don’t know if you– – (makes squeaky sounds) – I don’t know. It’s up to you. You either try to do what he did, or you do your version of what he did. – Well, I mean, my main thing is did you see what he was doing with the yo-yo? – Don’t worry about that. Hey, don’t get intimidated, man. – All right, all right, Chris in Toronto. You’re raising the bar a little bit but we can do this. Ready? (beat-boxing) Let me try again. – Don’t, don’t hold that against him. – I’m kidding, let me just– – Chris has done it a lot. – I gotta remember how to yo-yo. – Yeah, yeah, maybe just do each one separately, and then bring them together. – Okay. (beat-boxing) – Yeah, yeah. Oh, ho, yeah, look at that. I didn’t see Chris do that. I didn’t see Chris do that. – I didn’t see Chris do this. (beat-boxing) Twinkle twinkle little star, I beat you at your own game. – Oh, oh, he brought in round one (laughs). – And I said, “I bit you at your own game.” – (laughs) Yeah. – [Stevie] There’s some confusion on the floor about whether or not we’re supposed to clap after these things. So, scattered applause. – It feels good when you do. – [Stevie] Okay, we’ll continue. Mythical crew judges, did Link beat the beast? I’m gonna need your paddle answers in three, two, one. Oh, Jenna, fast with the no. That’s a no, I’m sorry to say, Link. – Hold on, Stevie. We’ve lost the feeds. I can only see Chris’s feed right now. – [Stevie] Chris is the only one saying yes, and the rest of the judges are saying no. – Hey man, that was good. – I mean, he was doing, he had a cheat yo-yo, man. Y’all gave me a bunk yo-yo. – Yeah, yeah, right. He had one of those electric yo-yos. – (makes squeaky noise) Tied up. – Okay, next video. – Hi, I’m (indistinct) from Naples, Italy and I can make a small ball bounce on a bigger ball and then catch it. Check this out. – (laughs) Oh my gosh. – Good luck. (laughing) – Wow. – Okay. – Straight from Naples, Italy. – Naples, Italy, okay. – Good luck, he says. You know what? – I’ve spent a lot more time with balls in my life. – My entire life has been spent with balls. – I mean in sports. (Stevie laughing) I mean, I’m saying I do a lot of– – But you’re older than me. – I do a lot of sports. – We’ve both spent our entire lives with balls, you’re just older than me. – Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I feel like, you know? I just feel like that– – We’ve got all types of balls here. You know, he probably practiced this a million times. You’ve got one shot. Good luck. (Stevie laughs) Well, try again. Try again. (beeps) Good luck. Ho. – Yeah. – [Stevie] Wow, I am impressed, but the question is, are the judges impressed? – I just wanna try for the heck of it. – [Stevie] And so now we’re gonna go to Link. (laughing) – Okay, so just to demonstrate how difficult it is. – (laughing) What the crap? – He hit himself right in the balls. (judges laughing) By the way, that is not our attempt. – We could not plan that. – Our attempt is the middle one from me, after one practice round in my lifetime, okay? – [Stevie] Okay, judges, I’m gonna need to see if Rhett beat the beast in three, two, one. – Yeah. – Hold on. David Hill, what’s the deal? – He’s anti-balls. – I needed a spectacular catch. – No, that’s why I went “yeah” afterwards. – [Stevie] All right, – Yes, more emphasis. – [Stevie] Well, you guys are gonna have to impress David Hill in the next round. But you did win this round. You did win the round. – We’ll take that, okay. – Let’s see the next one. – Hi, my name is Nor, I’m from Saint Louis and I can make anything into a squeak toy. So, I have a mouse here. (squeaking) I have this stress ball. (squeaking) And, of course. (squeaking) – (laughing) That is delightful. – That is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen, Nor. – Nor. – Okay, Link, you’re the mouth noise man. So, again, I think this is pretty clearly you. – Yeah, yeah, I’m definitely getting the more challenging ones, that’s cool though. – (laughs) Oh, come on, you hit yourself in the nuts with that last one, man, come on. Talk about a challenge. – I mean, again, sight unseen, having never tried to make a squeaky toy noise. – I feel like we can do a sidebar and you can practice. – I’ve got a mouse here. – Come over here and let’s practice your squeaky noise. (squeaking) – A little kissy, it’s a little kissy. Nope, don’t use the vocal chords. (squeaking) Maybe suck harder. Suck quicker. – Okay, I’m ready. – I don’t know if we accomplished anything. – You see, I can turn any item into a squeaky toy. Like this wireless optical mouse. (squeaking) – Wow, that’s amazing. – And, I can do it. – I didn’t know they made them like that. – I can do it with this ball too. (squeaking) (laughing) – Wow, ooh. Man, that’s almost like– – Shut up. I’m squeaking over here, man (laughing). And one more for good measure. (squeaking) – Wow, it’s like they have air inside. (squeaking) Hey, that’s really good (clapping hands). – [Stevie] Okay. – Really good, really good. – [Stevie] Judges, I’m gonna need your answers here in three, two, one. – (laughs) Hey, thank you, Java. – Okay, Java, come on. Support your answer. It’s not too late to sway your fellow judges. – Right, you know, it was the best friend encouragement for me. Also the sidebar conversations about sucking harder. (laughing) But in the end, it was definitely– – It was faster, Java, faster and harder. – Right, Emily. But yeah, it was the best friend encouragement for me. – All right, you know what? It works out well because that means that we’re tied with you going into the last round. Let’s check it out. – Hi Rhett and Link, my name is Sherry and I’m from Ottawa, Canada, and I’m going to be juggling three of these balls while balancing on this yoga ball, and saying 55 digits of pi. Just hop on here. Ready? Three point one four, one five, nine two, six five, three five, eight nine, seven nine, three two, three eight four six, two six four, three three eight three, two seven nine five zero, two eight eight four one nine seven one six nine three nine nine three seven five one zero five eight two zero. (ball bounces) (judges laughing) – You know what? We can do it. – We can do it. – We can do it. – Ha ha, that’s easy. – Yeah. – Ha ha ha. – Sherry. – Anybody. I mean, I’ll do it, but I know you wanna do it. (laughing) Right? – I like that. – I mean, I know. – I like your attitude. – What do you want? What do you think about you doing it? – I can’t juggle. – Can we reduce the juggling to two balls? – [Stevie] Yeah, I mean, that wasn’t the concession I was gonna give you. I was gonna say you could just say random numbers ’cause I know that you don’t know pi, and also– – But do you know pi? ‘Cause I think– – [Stevie] This isn’t about me. It’s not about me. – Do the judges know pi? Don’t look it up, y’all. ‘Cause we know it and we are gonna be, he is gonna be saying. – She was on her knees? Balancing on it? – Just hold onto my shoulder. I think spread your legs more. – Yeah, I’m going to when I get (groans). – There’s not enough air in that ball. – There we go. – Are you balanced now? – Yeah, man. – You balanced? – Yeah, I’m balanced. – All right, don’t fall over. – Okay, okay. (judges laughing) (groaning) Okay. Oh man, this is tough on the core. Three point one four five six one eight seven nine eight seven four three four seven eight one five six seven nine eight four and one two three two one one two one two two five six seven eight oh eight eight zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero two one four seven five six four nine eight ten one two eight one two four hey A-B-C D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O-P. Boom. – Oh yeah. – Yeah. (judges applauding) – Boom, what do y’all think of that? – [Stevie] All right, let’s see– – Tougher than it looks. – What they think. Via the panel here in three, two, one. – Hey, hey, hey. That’s right, that’s right. – [Stevie] Jenna’s face is saying no, but her paddle is saying yes. – Jenna? – I’m saying yes because, as your assistant, I’m just so glad you didn’t hurt yourself. (laughing) – Okay, okay, so I don’t think y’all could tell, ’cause you’re looking at a smaller image, but I was cheating. I had my feet on the ground the whole time. I think everybody at home knew (laughs). But, I’m sorry. Also, by the way, I’ve got two balls and I was just doing the alphabet at one point, just to clarify. Okay, I think that has swayed everyone (laughs). – We have reached a consensus. – You didn’t have to change your mind that quick. – You know what, mythical beasts? We didn’t beat you next time, but maybe this time. (laughing) – You know what he means. Amazing job to everybody. You won fair and square.
