Warning, today’s episode will be quite puzzling. Let’s talk about that. Good Mythical Morning! Here’s a riddle for you, okay? Pronounced as a letter, but written with three, the year 2020 seemed perfect to me. Hmm. Know what it is? Zamboni. That is the, were you even listening to the riddle? Yeah, written as a letter, sounds like three, I love you and you love me. Zamboni! Not Barney. Eye. Eye. Get it? Okay, forget it. Anyway– Written with three? Today, three letters. Oh. We’re gonna need sharp brains and even sharper eyes– Zamboni. Because we’re about to dive corneas first into some crazy, wild ,and intricate puzzle machines. It’s time for Mystery Countdown Theatre, Puzzle Machine Edition. We’re gonna be watching some crazy mind boggling Rube Goldberg style machines– Love ’em. I love Rube. Created by our friend, Joseph over at the YouTube channel Joseph’s Machines! Joseph, you and your machines. Now, you’re probably familiar with Rube Goldberg machines. I used to call them rude Goldberg machines. Well, some of them can be a little distasteful. Until like three years ago. They’re machines that use a complex chain reaction to accomplish simple tasks, kinda like Mouse Trap, the game. How rude. And how people would play the Mouse Trap, you wouldn’t actually play it. You would just set it up and let it go if you were me. Yeah. Okay, and the machines we’re looking at today incorporate a fun puzzle to solve. Here’s an example. We’re gonna be looking at the puzzle and trying to buzz in and solve it before the time runs out. If we buzz in and correctly guessed the answer before the machine starts– Right. Then we get five points. If we’re wrong, we lose five points. A little bit different this time. Because it’s basically multiple choice, we’re going about this differently. Right. And any correct answers after the machine starts are worth however many points are left on the timer. And if we’re correct, we get positive points. And of course, like Link said, if we’re incorrect, we get negative points. If you guess incorrectly, you’re not locked out of the game. Yeah. But to keep things interesting, once there are only two options left and and you guess incorrectly, then I automatically get the point. And the other way around. Yeah, yeah. And the loser at the end will have to lap up the mysterious and nasty puzzle puddle in Good Mythical More. Now, this is a very competitive, the most competitive game on Good Mythical More– So competitive. Ning. I won last time, and I won while wearing a shirt that had your hands on it. Yeah. I think it was less about luck, and I think it was more about getting inside your head. You were like, “Oh, my hands are on his shirt. “That’s freaking me out.” So I’ve gone one step further to get inside your head and I’ve put an embarrassing picture of your head on my body. Okay. This is something I took, this is when I, you know, I’d take pictures of you back when we used to fly. Remember that? Yeah. The open mouthed sleeping. I wait until Link falls asleep and I snapped a little picture of him. I mean, did the shirt have to be that tight? I don’t… I wanted to be able to, I wanted to be able to, I wanted to be able to make– Leave it to Terry Crews, man. It’s kinda like Terry Crews but not — Stay out of that. Like anything like Terry Crews. Okay, I had a feeling you were gonna try that, to get inside of my head with a head on your shirt, so I decided to put a head on my shirt as well, boop, yours. Oh, gosh. Are you a little distracted by this version of your head? I don’t believe necessary– Under all of that, don’t forget– It is not the same guy, not the same guy. That this is under all of that. Okay. No matter how much you think this guy has got it together– I will not stand for this. What? Seriously? All right. That is, I mean, that’s pretty disturbing too. Oh, wow. Now, look at that. It’s like a puke face. Let me cut my face off. I’m not gonna let you, I mean, this shirt’s too tight. I’m not gonna let you scissor it. Well, then you cut it. Okay, I’ll grab you by the nose. No, no, no, don’t cut it there. I want you to cut it over each nipple. I’m cutting your face off. Why do you get to decide? I don’t… Look, perfect. Look at that. I mean, you wanna see my nipple, I can find one. Two puke faces, yeah. All right, let’s get to this first one. I’m gonna leave the shirt on. I kinda like how it, the ensemble. It’s just so disturbing. Man. Sorry again. We apologize– Check this out. That you got to stare– You’ve got to stare at this for the rest of this. You guys wanna play the game or you just wanna– No, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, here’s the clip. We’ll just cut holes in each other’s shirts. It will be fun. Here’s the first one. Which door will the ball hit? Link. Well, okay, so it paused at the beginning. It was about to start. I’m taking a big risk. You were about to take the same risk. Yeah, yeah, I did. ‘Cause we studied it. A split second after you. I think it has to be door number one, so I’m gonna say door number two. Incorrect. Shoot. Goes off the banana, hits the– Rhett. Four. Correct. Yeah! Dang it! Why did you say four? Because, just watch, it’s gonna hit that. It’s gonna knock that off. It’s gonna pull it. It’s gonna come off that banana. It’s going to hit that. It’s gonna hit the– Oh! Boom! I didn’t even see that. Look at that. Oh, celebration time. So I have negative five points? I believe so. And you have four? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, all right. All right, let’s keep going. This is interesting. That really didn’t work out for me. This is an interesting game. All right, all right. Which appliance will get turned on? Oh, this is the one that we, oh, gosh, I don’t… Rhett. I’m so confused. Same. Coffeemaker on the far right. The kettle? The kettle, the glass kettle, tea kettle, whatever it is. Correct. Ah! Dang it! Look at the ball going around. And then hitting the wine. See it, oh, it was a fake-out. Well, that’s not exactly how I thought it would go. Wow, it went across everything. Okay. It was like a double fake-out. Can I just explain my reasoning? And you can decide if this is cheating or not. You know what? Thanks for asking. No. Let’s do the next one. Okay, all right. Oh, it’s just the same banana squealer. What, what? It goes that way and then it goes– Oh. Rhett. One. I was gonna say one. Correct. No, I was gonna say one! And there it goes. Look at that. It’s slow, but it made it. It’s slow, but it made it. It almost didn’t go through. Oh, look at the stuff afterward. I’m so frustrated right now! I’m so mad at myself! I don’t even believe I could do that with this shirt. Yeah, I can. Yeah, I can. Hey! I’m winning! This is what this episode should have been about. Hashtag winning. We don’t need a dumb– Tiger blood! We don’t need no dumb buzzers. Hey, you probably heard by now that this quarter’s collectible item for the Mythical Society is the Rhett and Link Single Lionel record, and it’s only available to 3rd Degree Mythical Society members. Right. We recorded two amazing covers because we love Lionel so much, and we love you so much. So get that thing. Join 3rd Degree quarterly or annual by June 30th to get that vinyl right there. That’s, now you’re touching my lips. Mythicalsociety.com. Okay, negative five to 13. It’s mathematically, no, it’s not mathematically impossible for you to win. All right, all right, it’s fine. All right. Link. Okay. Upper left. Do you recall the color of the– Like a purplish present. The one in the upper left. Is it mirrored for you? I don’t know. I just wanted to make sure before I said– I don’t think he has to specify color. We know– Incorrect. I wanted to give you a chance to be correct but then you– Is that what you were doing? And then, yeah, no, that’s wrong. Okay, so it’s not that one. Rhett. Oh, did you see that? The blue one. Correct. Oh, gosh. You’re just, you’re so rude with the Goldberg knowledge. Now see, it’s gonna hit that one. That pulls that one. Whoa, it opened the box! It opened the wrapper. And what it– Oh, nope. And there they go. It destroyed the other ones. This has got quarantine written all over it. I mean, what was Joseph doing? Building these. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. He was thinking about this, and then quarantine hit and he was just unleashed like a little rainbow unicorn. Every time I look at the score– Yeah, it’s getting worse. And it’s not just that you pull further away. It’s just that I’m running the wrong direction. You’re going negative and I’m going positive. It’s like we’re participating in two different races. Hold on, maybe you think this is golf. Yeah, that’s what’s happening. Is it? Yup, yup. If this was golf, you would be killing me. All right, that’s what I’m gonna, I’m gonna try to lose the worst possible, okay, by doing nothing differently than what I’ve been doing. Ready. All right, I got four chances. This is an interesting strategy. All right, okay, I’m interested. I think it’s number three, which makes me wanna guess number two. Uh-oh. But I don’t wanna leave number one left out. So I’m gonna go with four. Incorrect. Okay, all right. Yes! It’s good, Link. You’re doing it. Joseph’s machines. Oh, that’s cool. Oh, a little bouncy bouncy, and then a little pointy pointy into two. Two. There’s still, there’s zero on there. Was two my first guess? I said I was gonna go– You said all four numbers. I said I was gonna go for two. You said all four numbers at some point. That one was very difficult. OMG! Very difficult. Oh, and there’s real people involved. Okay, so there’s at least– With real goatees. Joseph has at least two friends, unless that’s not him and he’s got three. I think one of those is him because I definitely pictured Joseph with a goatee. You know what I’m saying? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Goatee’s coming back. I guarantee you you’re gonna have one in the next 36 months. I could have one tomorrow. Okay. Let’s keep going. I can, I’m almost the negative version of your positive score. I can do this. let’s see if we can be completely symmetrical. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, let’s do that now. Okay. Which crater will the ball go in? Oh, is it one, two, or is it three? Link. I think the correct answer is three. It’s getting more difficult. Man, I– Three is what I think it is. It can’t be one. How many points are on the board right now, five? It could be two. Mm-hmm. No, it can’t be two. I’m gonna go with one for the wrong answer. So your guess is one, to be clear. To be wrong, but I’m probably gonna change it to two. Two. Your guess is two. Official answer is two, but what he really thinks it is one. Yeah, I’ll say three, yeah. Incorrect. Yes! After all that. So is it one or two? I think it’s gonna be one. Incorrect. Oh. Oh, I just god points. That hurts. Oh, hey, you got points. I just got points. Hold on, hold on. Don’t ever do that to me again. No, no, no. That’s gonna make us even. Yeah. That makes us even. That’s why when I did it. Oh, just great, Rhett. Oh, that thing is what we’re trying figure out? Whoa! Oh my goodness! All went down the drain, kinda like my game playing today. That was a rude Goldberg machine. Man, just sucking it down. Hold on, so Link should– It’s think forget that even happened. He had four automatically, right, on that one. ‘Cause he– Yeah, I got four. I got wrong, and it automatically goes to, oh, but I got. Oh, I’m sorry, I’ve got negative four. Okay, so now– Ah, man. I was trying to stay at 16 and be negative 16. So now, do you need to get four points in order to mirror my negative 16. I can do this. And I’m not gonna buzz in, but you’re gonna wait until four. I’m gonna wait till four. I’m gonna get it right. This is the final round. Okay, this is a Mythical original round. Oh, really? Mike Paisley is the creator of this situation. Oh. So keep that in mind. So we kick Joseph to the curb. So that what? We kick Joseph to the curb and brought in Paisley. Yes. Cool, okay. And Paisley did have a goatee when he was making this. Okay, but– Of course, yeah. I’m ready. Gotta get it on four. Oh, would you look at that. Which base will be, bass will be activated. There’s a Book of Mythicality in there. He’s burning a rope with a scented candle. Rhett. Three. You are correct! Yes! Yes, you did it! Whoo! Let’s watch! Oopa loopa loopa loopa loobie. Yes! Yes! That is so awesome! Look at that perfect symmetry! That’s what you watch this show for. Yeah! The most competitive game ever has finally taken a turn for the fun!
