GMM 2000: 2000th Episode Celebration Special

2000 episodes. Let’s talk about that. (upbeat music) – “Good Mythical Morning.” – And good mythical summer. – And good mythical, 2,000 episodes. (horns heralding) – We did it, everybody. (clapping) (cheering) We did it, 2,000, I mean who would’ve thought that this little idea of ours would turn into 2,000 episodes, and counting. Now for a little perspective, if the average episode of, “Good Mythical Morning” is about 15 minutes long, and we’re saying it is, that is 30,000 minutes of mythicality. You could attach a computer to the Orion Space Capsule, we’re thinking about doing it. – Okay. – That will be orbiting the moon later this year, hit play as it blasts off into space, and it would still be playing GMM, just as it began to reenter the Earth’s atmosphere. – And then it would burn up. – Right? – Oh, my freaking sequins. – Oh no, and that’s an expensive suit. – My freaking sequins are like. – Oh no. – Slipping off of each other. But it would burn up. – It would. – Which a- – Don’t think about it that way. – Yeah, that’s how it really- – I’m sure it’s not gonna burn it. – I’ll give you another analogy, 30,000 minutes is the length of one story from Mythical Kitchenier, Trevor, at a company holiday party conducted over Zoom. (laughing) – Yeah, yeah, yeah. – We love you Trevor. – Yeah, I mean it was a. – It was a long story. – I mean, no, and he had a lot of details to cover and he was like, you’re all here, I might as well just go into all of it. – And it was a lot of buildup. – Yeah, a lot of setup. – And then it just kinda- – Yeah, yeah. – It was kinda like strapping a laptop to the outside of a spacecraft, just kinda burned out too. – Well, there was a beginning, and a middle, but there was not an end. (laughing) Thanks Trevor. – Okay, back when we celebrated our 1,000th episode, we thought that was a big deal. – Right, uh-huh. – And we’ve doubled it, but at the time we took a look at some of the show’s most memorable moments, you know, we did the whole montage thing, so we’re not doing a montage this time, yeah, we are, we gotta do another montage, we gotta, we gotta sit back and watch and reflect on all the unbelievable things that have happened since then over the last thousand episodes. – Right, and we have not seen this, we’ve only lived it, but let’s take a look. (gentle orchestral music) – “Good Mythical Morning.” I’m going to sail to freakin’ Brunel. (exclaiming) – God, I immediately grabbed my own crotch. – Yeah, slide, oh god. – Oh god, you’re so big. – I am Link and I am your servant king link is the servant king, link is me. – I declare my love for Rihanna. – Wow! (milk sloshing) (bowl clunking) – Oh! – Woo! – That was a man, oh! (laughing) (dummy clunking on mat) – Oh. – Oh. – Oh no, it’s just hoppy. – Did I play with this as a child? (laughing) – Aahhhh! (clapping) – Oh stop, stop it! – Oh. – Aahh. – I gotta wormy in my left ear. – It’s all right. – We’re gettin’ there. (exclaiming) – Ow! (exclaiming) (laughing) – Oh! (brick crunching) (leg smacking guitar) – Oh! (laughing) (exclaiming) (mower breaking dolls) – Oh my god! – Oh gol. – Where is it, where is it. – I’m sorry. – It was in my ear. (whip smacking butt) (hollering) – Hey, imagine if this is the first one of these videos someone ever watched. (laughing) (bag smacking head) – Uh, we want the bandwagon, will it penis, I mean. (laughing) – Have you seen it? – Do you want him to see your wiener? – Yeah. – They shared first girlfriends and first kisses so why was a jar of peanut butter any different? – It’s a lot different. (hollering) – Do you smell the cheese? – Well, the cheese is wafting. – Boy it smells better in here now. – It really is wafting. (crying out) – I freakin’ told you, I got 71. – (exhaling) Oh yeah! – I think you can. (hollering) (cheering) – What! – You can do it. (hollering) – Ahhh! – Peep. (exclaiming) (guillotine clunking) (bat smacking item) – I hate to ask you to do this, but, can you pee into my mouth? – Take a knee son. (laughing) Nothing wrong with that. – Wow. – Nothing wrong with this. – What a classy show. (clapping) (cheering) – Yeah. – Hey, we got class. – We do, but I will say that during about 70 to 80% of that, I was just going- (laughing) And then realizing it was me, that was like half of it. – Yeah. – And it only made it worse. I was like, oh, who are, I’m one of those guys. – I mean it, so much of what we do tends to blur together, did something just fall? – Is that, is that that an R240? – What was that? – An R240 has shown up for the 2,000th episode after- – Thank you for joining us. – After going into hiding for so long? – He’s back. – Thank you for being here, please don’t harm us. – Seeing it in rapid succession like that, it just, yeah, it does put it in perspective. We do important work. (laughing) – We also get up, scream and spin and run a lot. – We’re happy guys. – Yeah. – Yeah, there’s. – There’s gonna be more spinning and running our lives. – Guys, there’s a lot of happy guys here, the whole whole crew is extremely excited and proud to see the show each 2,000 episodes, except for maybe Trevor. – Yeah, yeah, yeah. – Yeah, yeah. – But there is another group of people out there who are also pretty proud of you guys and they have a little something to say too. – Hey Rhett and dad, congratulations on 2,000 episodes. – Congratulations. – Congratulations guys on your 2,000th episode. – 2,000 episodes, that’s crazy, you’ve been doing this for like almost 10 years now. – I though you would’ve quit by now, kinda hope you did. Just kidding, just kidding. – Congratulations on 2,000 episodes of “Good Mythical Morning.” – We are super proud of you guys and feel like it’s been a huge honor to hear all the stories from so many people around everywhere just how “Good Mythical Morning” has helped. – I’m so proud of you too for your celebrating your 2,000th episode. (dog woofing) – If a visitor from the future had come to me 20 some odd years ago, when we met and fell in love Rhett, and said, “Listen, I just wanna warn you he’s gonna make a living with Link, on the internet, eating various animal testicles,” I think I would’ve thought two things, one, this totally checks out, and two, where do I sign up, ’cause that sounds awesome and it has been. – I think that the first episode of “Good Mythical Morning,” probably happened around midnight on an April evening in 1993, when we prank-called the next door neighbors and you began to learn what it meant to talk about nonsense for several minutes at a time and that has blossomed into a wonderful show. – I remember watching the Facebook Song and my Grandma Carolyn saying, “That’s your cousin,” and I thought it was so cool. – Congratulations on your 2,000th episode of “Good Mythical Morning.” – Who would’ve thought two guys, doing videos in a basement, who lives in North Carolina with no employees, would someday end up in la-la land with their own studio and what, 75 to 100 employees and 2,000 videos. – And it’s so good that somebody like you two could do this like you’ve been together all your life and had fun and makes a lot of people laugh. – We’re really, really excited for you guys. – Congratulations. – We love you. – Keep up the hard work, happy birthday, Merry Christmas, congratulations, I love you. – Love you. – Love you guys. – Congratulations, love you. – You guys are the best guys I’m so proud of everything you’ve accomplished. – I love you guys so much, you boys should I say. – I’m so proud of y’all, congratulations, I love you. – Just keep doing what you’re doing and we’re proud of you. – Rhett, as my number two son, I love you very much. Link, you’re like a son to me as well and I love you very, very much also, congratulations guys, love ya all. – That was very sweet, but I am worried your dad might be being held hostage somewhere. (laughing) – That was my dad. – I think that he is being forced to make a video and we need to stop what we’re doing right now and we need to go to a jungle somewhere and rescue him, okay? – Oh, that was super sweet. (laughing) Yeah, the next 1,000 episodes, we’re gonna be trying to find him. – Yeah right, yeah. Next episode- – He’s in a jungle. – We’re on a plane with a compass. – Ah, well, I mean, that was super sweet. I know I have two other kids that did not come through on that montage I don’t know where they where- – Yeah, yeah, yeah, you gotta talk to them. – I’m coming for them. – Wow, that was a- – Thank you to everybody who participated. – That was super sweet. – Yeah, I mean, I mean, that was a, it’s very sweet, a lot of love. – Yeah and it’s. – Did you instruct all them to say, “I love you,” or did they just all happen to say, “I love you,” because I felt very loved, just tell us it was impromptu. – Well, you don’t have to hear about the pre-production process. – Okay, well, I felt very, very loved and very appreciated. – Yeah, and you know, they’re our support structure, especially Christy and Jessie, so it’s- – Yes. – It’s like, I mean, none of this would’ve ever started if it wasn’t for our family support, so it’s, I’m moved. – I’m sure it’s only gonna get more moving as we go. – Oh, really (inhaling). – Now, back in 2016, we released a Limited Edition 1,000th Episode Bronze Coin, which we have heard that people apparently fight about on eBay and now in celebration of 2,000 episodes, we’re releasing another Limited Edition Coin. – But, it’s just a quarter. – To add the collection. – It’s just a, you can get it anywhere. – This time. – Nope. – It’s silver. – Oh yes. – Look at that! – I’m gonna do like they do on Coin TV, I watch those infomercials. – I mean, you see a coin like that you want it, but the thing is with this one, this is commemorative, it’s only available for basically the release week of this episode, so we wanted it to be something special for everyone who’s experiencing this celebration along with us, pretty much in real time, so it’s only gonna be available through July 30th. You can go to mythical.com to get this thing. Commemorate the fact that you are a part of this milestone as it happened, if you’re watching within this week, go get it, mythical.com, all right. – Okay. – Looks good, I got one too. – All right, now it’s time for the celebration cake. And what would a cake on this show be without a little bit of misguided indulgence? – Yeah, we tasked the Mythical crew with a mission, we said here’s $2,000, don’t come back until you’ve spent it all on the most Mythical cake that money can buy and I hope you guys came through. Trevor, I know you’re standing over there, oh, ready to push something in. (hands drumming on table) (horns trumpeting) The official GMM, – Oh my. – 2,000th episode, $2,000 cake of mythicality. – Look at all these references, I mean, we got. – What, is this even a real cake? – This is a real cake, but I don’t wanna- – Is this legitimately? – Touch it yet though. I mean we’ve got an ax, we got a cockroach here, we’ve got the Furby destroyed by the guillotine. – Yeah, look at that. – We got the Orbeez that went in your ear. – There’s the ear. – La Peep. – Wayne Bogs has gotten prominent placement. (laughing) – Yeah, he has. The bowling ball from the fire bowling episode. Now we gotta cut this thing and like, you know what. – I’ll use this ax right here. – You better, you know, hold on, first of all, you’re not allowed to hold knives, but you know what- – You can do it. – Maybe this second millennia that we just finished up, with “Good Mythical Morning,” maybe the new millennium will be about you being able to have knife privileges. – Is it rubber? (knife clunking on table) – It seems to be metal, but it is like a butter knife. So you do the honor. (plate scrapping on table) (utensils clunking) – I feel like if I hit that it will crack open. – Cut a corner off of the back. – This is absolutely amazing. – Cut a corner off of the back and then slide it onto this thing. – A corner, you like like an icing piece? – Well, I just, I don’t wanna destroy it too much. – The first thing I get to cut on this show officially, and I have no clue where to- – Just cut a corner. – Oh yeah, it is cake, look at that, look at that. – Is it, look how thick- – And then I’m gonna. – It’s got some thick walls. – I’m gonna get me a piece. – Now this cake was made by Lacy, who’s David’s roommate. Now you can check out- – Oh! (laughing) – That almost went into his mouth and into his brain and that would’ve been it. Well, there’s a frigging. – All right, that’s it, you don’t get, that’s it, that was it. – There’s a tripping hazard. – That was your knife privileges. You got it, take it back away, okay. Maybe when we hit 3,000, you can get back knife privileges. – Your dad loves me as much as he loves you. – That was very sweet. – That was very sweet. – Of my dad, wasn’t it? – It seemed to be equal. – You can check out on Instagram @cakesbylacy, so thank you Lacy for taking the time to make us this- – Well, let’s not promote until we taste it. – Well, that could- – Okay. – Get awkward. – No, that’s good. – It’s just David’s roommate. – It’s good. – You know what I like to do when I’m eating cake, I just like to sob uncontrollably, which is why we have another surprise for you because there’s a group of people that we all would not be here without, and it’s the Mythical Beasts. – Of course. – And so the Mythical Beasts have a little something that they wanted to say to you guys and the crew, so let’s take a look. – “Good Mythical Morning.” – “Good Mythical Morning.” – “Good Mythical Morning.” – And happy 2,000 episodes. (kazoo trumpeting) – Here’s to you guys on making 2,000 episodes. – I know you guys say that the show would never last without the fans, but the fans would never be there if you guys didn’t create this amazing content. – GMM has been more than just a show to me, you guys and the entire Mythical crew are the reason why I wake up more excited than ever. – That every day I get to wake up and watch something amazing. – A place I can tune into every morning and know when the episode’s over, I’ll have a smile on my face. – It’s like 15 minutes of the day where I can just show quirky and feel like part of a massive family. – “Good Mythical Morning,” is just embracing mythicality and just being yourself no matter who is watching. – To never lose your sense of wonder to ask why not, and to lead with love. – But also expressing our inner weird through any way possible and nothing negative getting in the way. – It has taught me to love and accept who I am. – GMM means to me hope because I started watching when I was in the hospital and it’s all I could watch. – GMM means waking up every day knowing that I have two dads to make me laugh when I didn’t necessarily have one in real life. – The show to me reminds me of my friend, Charlie, he’s a Marine down over in Japan right now serving, so it kinda brings me closer to him in these hard times. – This is my older brother, Ben. He passed away in 2019 and we used to watch Rhett and Link videos together when we were younger, so it’s really important for me to stick with GMM ’cause it’s a connection. – If I’m in what seems like a very long and dark tunnel, GMM is a beacon of light at the end of it. – If you’re feeling sad, if you’re anxious, thoughts in in my head, with (indistinct). – I have suffered with a lot of depression and stuff and you guys just make the world to me, and my grandma, I love you guys, thank you so much. – No matter how hard my day is, GMM brings always laughter in my life. – Whenever I turn on the show, I just, I can’t help but feel happy and I’m so thankful for that. – It reminds me that everything’s gonna be all right and Rhett and Link are always gonna be there. – We don’t know how we would’ve gotten through the first few months of parenthood without you. – I’m so excited to have it as he grows up and we get to watch it together. – “Good Mythical Morning” is just the essence of comfort. – GMM is a safe space, GMM is home. – My daily reminder to always spread love, and positivity, and kindness every day. – As a fan for nearly seven years, in that time I realized I was gay and for those that don’t really have support around them, seeing you guys show support for all different groups really provides warmth and light, so thank you. – I’m transgender and I love that everyone at Mythical is so supportive of the LGBTQ+ community, it makes me feel loved. – As somebody who’s gay and grew up in the South, my parents and I haven’t always had the best relationship, but we can always talk about “Good Mythical Morning.” – So this was the first thing my partner and I bonded over, and it even helped me with my proposal a few months ago, – GMM to me is the reason I’m engaged to my fiance. I hit his glass and I said, dink it and then he responded with, and sink it, he knew what it was from, I knew he was the one. – My best friends are people that I met through Mythical content eight or nine years ago and I’m very grateful, so thank you. – I think the majority of us will never get the opportunity to experience a friendship like the one you guys have. – They even inspired me in just that way (indistinct) my best friend. – Thank you so much for showing me the value of true friendship and following your creative passions. – You boys have inspired me creatively and emotionally with everything you do. – If you follow your passions then happiness will follow. – And I’ve since pursued a lifelong dream of mine and I’m still walking that road today. – You have catapulted a deep life change for me and I can’t thank you enough for all that you do. – “Good Mythical Morning” has been so important to me for so long ’cause I started watching as like a 10-year-old. – I’ve been watching for the past seven years, been able to bond with my family over it, and it’s somewhere I know I can go for a good laugh even on a rainy day. – And you’ve been part of my daily routine for the past six years, loved every minute. – And I’ve grown to be so fond of Rhett and Link, and the entire Mythical crew. – That is the YouTube channel that I watch when I’m taking a poop. Wait, I’ve taken 2,000 poops? – GMM for me is just the best English class because I’ve learned puns, words, sentences, that only exist in this show (chuckling). – And also everything I know about geography and food in the world, so, there’s that too. – “Good Mythical Morning” means beans, and I love beans. – Just like Rhett loves wood, and Link love peanut butter, I love Rhett and Link, and the whole Mythical crew. – Every bit of what you guys do helps me get through a day of delivering the mail and it makes it that much better. Thank you very much you guys are all awesome. – I get up and go to university because of you guys and you’ve been there throughout the majority of my childhood, I cannot thank you enough, I love you (smooching). – And I just wanted to say, thank you, for bringing me so much joy. – Thank you so much every day for the laughter and happiness you have brought me. – For having longevity of two decades on the internet, you guys are truly the champion, non-sponsor, duo of YouTube. – And it’s hard to imagine what YouTube would be for me without GMM. – And you guys just make every day so much better. – Thank you Rhett and Link, thank you, thank you. – Thanks for everything you guys do. I love your content, keep making it and congratulations. – Happy 2,000th episode. – Happy 2,000th episode. – Happy 2,000th episode. – Happy 2,000th episode. – Happy 2,000th episode. – Happy 2,000th episode. – Happy 2,000th episode. – Happy 2,000th episode. – Here’s to 2,000 more. (light music) – Okay, I’m gonna need a moment. (laughing) I’m gonna go join your dad in the jungle. (laughing) – Oh. – Thank you all for that. It’s amazing, and I know we were only, I mean, based on that it seems like we were only able to use a little bit of everybody’s video so I know there was a lot of incredibly heartfelt things that were said. – Yeah. – And we were able to capture a fraction of those, means a lot. – Yeah, thank you for being a part of this and, you know, it’s just, it’s so surreal to, every time that we’re reminded, and there’s, we, it’s not just in milestones like this, but it’s in letters, and if we travel, or if we see somebody on the street, or tweets, or conversations on the Mythical Society, it’s, you know, you just see how much this show and our friendship, and our friendships, and this work environment, and the community that extends through the lens to you and to the friends, and connections that you’ve made, it’s just, as we were starting this show it’s just not something that we were, I mean, we just didn’t know if it could happen, right? So it’s, and it’s- – We had no idea that there would be a connection like this. We hadn’t, we definitely had no idea that the things that we were thinking about talking about, and definitely the things that we were thinking about doing- – And have done. – Would be seen in the way that they’d been seen by the Mythical Beast, and to be appreciated. There’s a lot of depth that we didn’t anticipate, and we didn’t intend that you have kind of drawn out of the show. – And it’s relationship, right? I mean, it’s, I mean it’s not something that needs to be broken down and explained here, but I do know- – Yeah. – It’s about a relationship that goes through a lens and that’s actually, it means something, it means something on the other side and we only know that because we’ve heard it back from you, so. – And yeah, and it wasn’t that montage was incredible, but you guys are also, we hear that from you, you’re very vocal in how much you appreciate what we’re doing, and we appreciate you guys and it’s a beautiful symbiotic relationship that we couldn’t do this without you. – Yeah, and, give a shout out to the Mythical crew, and we wanna thank you guys- – Yeah. – And all the team members who aren’t here, but will watch later, but- – We would not be, we’ve said this a million times- – Yeah. – But I’ll say it again, we would not be doing this show if we hadn’t, if it was the two of us just doing it. – Yeah. – There was only so much that we could do. We ran outta runway pretty early (chuckling)- – Yeah. – But we have an incredible team that has enabled the show, not just to continue, but to flourish, and to grow, and evolve, and change, and get better, and be something that we can kinda step into and make as a team, so thank you to the- – Yeah. – The crew as well. – All of you guys, thank you so much. Stevie, thank you specifically for your voice and how your voice comes through not just in the practical heard way on the show. – But it is a lovely voice. – It’s much more than that, you know what I’m saying. – It is the woman with the lovely voice as has been stated. – And you know what, thank you, Rhett. – Thank you, Link. – For being my friend. – Hmm, anytime (laughing). You know what I think we should do. – I do know. – As is maybe a tradition at this point.
