Can these novices follow instructions in sign language? – Let’s talk about that. (upbeat theme music) – Good mythical morning! – Okay, we’ve had crew and guests flex their language speaking abilities at us a few times now in Spanish, French, Korean, German, Indonesian, and Farsi. – And considering we knew almost nothing about any of those languages, I think we did a pretty bang up job– – Yeah, we did. – Of figuring out what we were being instructed to do. – We got natural instincts. But today, we’re tackling a language that just so happens to not include the helpful hint of intonation. – Mm-hmm. – And it was a language created right here in the good old US of A. – Could it be– – Oh, yes, it be. – American Sign Language? Let’s see how we do. It’s time for, Can we follow instructions being signed by human hands? Or will we stink worse than a dog’s anal glands? – Hmm, really? – Glad we’re not eating today. – Okay. – Well, maybe we are. I don’t know. We’re gonna be given a bunch of items needed to do certain tasks and some decoy items that we don’t need. Instructions to correctly pull off those challenges will be given to us in American Sign Language, and each instruction can only be given a maximum of three times. – And as a lifeline, we can ask the signer for an interpretation of any sign of our choosing, but we can only use that lifeline five times throughout the whole game. – Every time we correctly execute an individual instruction, we’re gonna earn a point. If we get at least 12 outta 21 points up for grabs, we’re gonna receive the ultimate ASL prize. – Okay. (whimsical music) Welcome to the interpretation station zone! – And please welcome our special guest, ASL signer and childhood friend of former Hot Dog on a Stick employee, Matt Carney, it’s Anton. (crew applauds) Hey, Anton. – Hey, Link, how are you doing? – Great, man. Thanks for being here. So when did you learn sign language? What’s the story there? – Sure. So my older brother, Albert, two years older than me, was actually born deaf. We lived in the Philippines at the time. And a Peace Corps volunteer actually came and lived with us for a couple of years and taught my whole family sign language. – Okay, so you’re very proficient in this. – Pretty good. Yeah, pretty good. I try to keep in touch with my brother. – Okay, can you give us just a little taste of it just to kinda get us in the rhythm? Because neither of us, I mean, I think I can do, I think we like learn in church, I love you– – Isn’t that what this is? – At one point. – It’s hot, it’s hot. Yep, absolutely. – But that’s all I have. – That’s a good first one to learn, but give us another. – [Rhett] Uh. – One more time. (crew laughs) – [Rhett] Okay, so the two of us. – [Link] We. – Okay. – Pulling fruit apart. (crew laughs) And it tastes good. – I think this is just, nice to meet you guys. Nice to see you guys. – You guys– – Nice to see you guys in your sub sandwich that you usually are eating together. – No, I think it’s, you guys have a strained relationship that is so palpable, I can taste. – Yeah, this is gonna be great. (crew laughs) (Rhett laughs) – Wait, wait. – [Link] He’s not gonna tell. – [Rhett] Wait, wait. – All right, let’s get started. We’re ready. – I’m feeling confident. – I see there’s stuff here. Let’s have our first instruction. Grab your chin. – Oh, gosh. – Now he can only give it to us two more times. I mean, definitely it was grab. – How literal is it? Like, it seems like some of it’s literal. – I don’t know. – And some of it is, you can’t, everything can’t be literal ’cause there’s a lot of things that you just, you have to just come up with some sort of symbol. – Well, I did hear, like what’s, just, this is not a hint. I just wanna know ’cause I, just to confirm, like what’s the sign for bull crap? – This is probably the popular one. – Yeah, see? That’s pretty literal. – Oh. You knew that was gonna happen. – All right, yeah, I’ve heard about that one. All right, so give it to us for a second time, and slow. – [Rhett] And slowly. – I don’t know what that is. Building. Like, this right here, it starts at the lip and then it comes down off the chin. – I mean– – I mean, we have a plate. – Grab this. – How many steps are there? Is that it? – There’s gonna be five steps we’re gonna be going over here. – Oh, I wonder what this will be. Grab it and put it on a plate. Or maybe we just grab a plate. – [Rhett] There’s no eating utensils here. There’s plates. – This wouldn’t be plate. Grab a– – But then the last thing was this. – Like, yeah, it was this. – This. – I think it was put it on a plate. So whatever we grab, we have to put it on a plate. – Is it just the cherry? – Grab the cherry– – Grab the cherry and put it on a plate. – And put it on a plate. He’s laughing. – Okay, that was, yeah, yeah, I got you! (laughs) – (laughs) Anton. Do we need to already use one of our five? I don’t wanna do that. – Hold on, do it a couple times. – I think this is a cherry. You’re pulling it outta your mouth. – And put it on a plate. – [Link] And put it on a plate. – Yeah, put a cherry on a plate. We were right to begin with. – We have to go over here to do our official answer. – Hold on, is this paper plate or glass plate? I think we should go glass plate. – Glass plate? Okay. – Yeah. And put the cherry on the glass plate. – Continue! – All right. Nailed it! (chuckles) Okay, slice a cake. That was definitely a slice of cake. – Well, it was gather, like push something together. – Oh, you know what we’re supposed to do? I think we were supposed to take the cake that had a cherry on top of it, and now we’re supposed to slice it. That could also be a strawberry cake. – Yes, ’cause it was on top. – Grab the, okay. So what, again, we have to do it over here. So we’re going back to number one. – Wait, would you call this a cherry cake? Is that how you would describe this? – Grab, grab the cherry-topped cake. – (chuckles) Okay, okay. – [Link] That’s what we’ve done. – And then take a, okay, and can you do that? Can you do that one more time? Yep. – [Link] A small scissoring motion, slicing motion. – I think it’s grab the knife. Not this, because this is the symbol for a knife, I believe. So then, we have to take this. – So let’s see it one more time. All right, so– – That’s just, he’s just making a motion of– – I think it’s, there’s no plate yet. It’s just cut the cake into small slices. – It seemed like it was one slice. Boom, boom, slide. – Small. – It was slice, slice, slide. You slice, slice, and you slide it out of the cake. You think that’s wrong? I’m basically doing exactly what he was doing. Then you gotta slide that. – All right, but just put it back ’cause I’m sure there’s, he hasn’t told us anywhere to put it. – You take it out then. – No, we’re not to that. Don’t get ahead of yourself. – He slid it! He slid it! – And then what? – Just put it on a plate. Just put it on a plate like just anybody would do, just like that, sideways. – You know, just like anybody would do. – Yeah. – We’re just anybody. – We’re just anybody guys. – Just doing stuff that anybody would do. Third step. See, you put it on a plate. I told you! You got ahead of yourself, man. – Well, (chuckles) I’ve already done it then. – All right, so let me, let me, let’s take this step by step. – [Rhett] Take the slice. – No, okay. See he, no, hold on. It’s the same sign– – That’s the sign for a slice. – He used before, and then– – [Rhett] Take the slice and put it on– – [Rhett and Link] A plate. – Which plate? The plate that’s made out of– – The plate made of– – [Rhett and Link] Teeth! (crew laughs) – You know what I’m saying? – The one that hurts your teeth when you scratch it. – Let’s move over here and act like we haven’t done this. – Yeah, yeah. Cut, cut, slide, onto the plate that makes your teeth hurt. – ‘Cause it’s glass. – Done. – See? We were even being psychic. – Next step. – Oh. (laughs) – Oh, yes. Oh, yes. This is so obvious. Chocolate on chocolate. – Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. No, this. – I mean, isn’t it the same? – Oh, we gotta go back, go back. This is confusing ’cause you were so sure it was chocolate. I was so sure it was ready Reddi-Wip, not a sponsor. – [Link] Let’s see it again. – Oh, oh, he shook. Dude, that’s totally not chocolate! He went like this, shake, shake. Dude, he did this, look. – Hold on, does it say shake before using? – You’re not looking at his finger! Watch him again! Anton. Look at the finger. – Obviously, you’re right. I’m just trying to make sure. – Say that again. Hey. (crew laughs) – In this one very isolated instance– – Hey, I’ll let you do the honors since I’m so right. Op! – All right, last step. – Serve it to– – Me. – Anton. – Me. Oh, yeah. See, again, we were getting ahead of ourselves. I wanted to serve it to him in that other step. – Enjoy. – Thank you, thank you. – Sorry, this is the closest thing we got for you to eat it with. – That’ll work, that’ll work. – Okay, Anton, our round one job here is done. Now it’s your job to tell us that we did it perfectly. – Let’s start with the first instruction. Grab. (bell dings) – [Link] Yep. – The strawberry. (buzzer blares) – I told you it was strawberry! – Oh, no! – You fool! – You didn’t say it was strawberry! – I said it could be– – You said what if it’s strawberry! – And you just completely dismissed me! I said it could be, everybody eats strawberries and cherries the same way! – No, but what you didn’t say was this is a straw! – What I said to myself, what I– – A straw in the mouth! – Hold on, listen to me. I said, “Would you describe this as a cherry cake?” No, you would describe this as a strawberry cake. Putting a cherry on top of a cake does not make it a cherry cake. It’s a chocolate cake. – So this is like straw. – Strawberry. – You just ask a question– – [Rhett] No. – And you didn’t have an answer. – What I said, and you did not listen, is I said– – You did not listen. – Would you describe this as a cherry cake? You would describe this as a straw, so you’re gonna say the cake with a straw, with a cherry on top of it? No, no, no, no. – I said we have to commit. – The next instruction, with the small knife, (buzzer blares) cut into it. (bell dings) – I didn’t even know there was a small knife. – Okay, so we did the wrong knife, but we did cut into it. – We did slice it. – So we take that slice and put it (bell dings) on the glass plate. – [Link] Yes! – It’s interesting because we both immediately knew that like you’re talking about a glass plate even though I can’t quite explain why that means glass. You know what I’m saying? Glass. – ‘Cause it sounds like glass. – Clearly. – And then final step. – Nope, two more. – [Link] Oh. Oh, yeah. – Putting the whipped cream on top, of course. (bell dings) – [Link] We nailed that. – Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. – No debate there. – Yeah, and then lastly, serve that to me. (bell dings) – [Link] Yes! – Hey, okay, all right! We did all right! – So how many points did we still get? – So really great. We tallied up six points for that round. – Okay, six of eight. – Not bad, not bad. – Okay, we’ll take it. – Hey, hey, you know what? – Hey, we’re still in a good place. – We were way too eager. – We’re still in a good place. We need to reset. – It’s okay. – We can do this. You know what? – Hey. – We all make mistakes. – Have a strawberry cake. (whimsical music) All right, we’re changing things up a little bit this round ’cause Anton’s gonna be signing the chorus of a song that is playing in his headphones. And it’s gonna be one of these songs, and we’re gonna be trying to figure out which one it is. – All right, we get three guesses. And if we get it right on the first guess, we get three points. For every subsequent guess, the number of points go down all the way to zero. – Yeah, so if we don’t get after three guesses, you got absolutely no points. – Now, this is gonna help us. It could be– – Hips Don’t Lie, Smells Like Teen Spirit, Life is a Highway, Party in the USA, I Wanna Dance with Somebody. – Thong Song? If this isn’t it, I’d like to see this one later. Yeah!, Don’t Stop Believing, and Take on Me. – Okay, just as a little warm up, if you could maybe sign some of your personal favorite lyrics from a song. – Sure. – Cry my nipples off. Cry my nipples off. Bye-bye, nipples. I loved you, (crew laughs) but I didn’t really need you. – It’s something about how it’s so hard to say goodbye or something. – Oh, Boys II Men. – It’s like ♪ It’s so hard to say ♪ – I mean, that’s definitely in my bag, but this is, again, gonna be another great round. – All right. – Dang it, man! This is hard! – Throw on your headphones, Anton. Let’s get to it. – [Rhett] So he’ll be signing along. Throw your hands up. Oh, fly like a butterfly. Fly away. Yep, yep. Motorcycle. Uh-huh, yep, crank it up. Yep, throw your hands up. Yep, oh. – [Link] It’s definitely repeating. – [Rhett] Okay. – Like don’t, knocking on heaven’s door? He’s knocking. He’s still knocking. He’s still grinding. He’s done. (crew laughs) – Dude, dude. Dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude, dude. – I mean, I got a little hint about the tempo. ♪ Chick chick-a chick ♪ ♪ Chick chick chick-a chick ♪ – I got it, I got it. Now, here’s the thing. – What, maybe you try to tell me like, what did you get from one of the symbols? – You’re the one who remembers lyrics to things. I just remember the beginning of the lyrics of this chorus, and there’s also something about something flying away. – Flying away. – Now here’s the thing. – Which one flies away? – We’re on YouTube and we cannot violate YouTube copyright policy. So when I sing this song, I’m going to sing it in a different melody. ♪ So you throw your hands up ♪ (crew laughs) ♪ Playing our song ♪ ♪ Song ♪ ♪ Playing our ♪ ♪ Butterfly, fly away ♪ (crew laughs) ♪ Party in the USA ♪ – Hold on. Now, hands up, singing our song. – What is it? That’s gotta be what it is. Yeah, there was a butterfly and it flew away. 100%, I would bet my life on it. – I’m nodding my head like. All right, let’s hear it again. Well, let’s see it again. – [Rhett] The hands up was a dead giveaway. ♪ Put your hands up ♪ ♪ They’re playing our song ♪ ♪ Butterfly, fly away ♪ ♪ I am on my motorcycle ♪ ♪ Nodding my head like yeah ♪ ♪ I’m running my motorcycle like yeah ♪ ♪ Hands up, butterflies ♪ ♪ Fly away ♪ – Nodding my hands like– – This is just throw a note down. – Yeah. ♪ Nodding my fist like yeah ♪ – [Rhett] Yep. – [Rhett and Link] Yep. – I felt like we didn’t even need this hint ’cause I got my boy Rhett over here! He’s a big Miley fan! You know, Miley’s sister hosted this show. – She sure did. – Uh-huh. Tell us that we got it, three points. – Three points. – [Rhett and Link] Yeah! (bell dings) – Hey! – Yeah! – [Anton] Right on. – All right, now a little Thong Song just for me. – All right. (Rhett and Link laugh) (whimsical music) – You like my sweatshirt? – I do like it, Rhett. Please tell me that we sell it. – Oh, we sell it. – [Link] ‘Cause it got your face. It’s got my face. – But guess what. – It’s got my face. It’s got your face. The Mythical Jokers Sweatshirt. I love the way this thing feels. It’s lightweight. I’m really going into sales mode here. Very soft, just a good design. (crew laughs) Get this thing at mythical.com. You will be happy. All right, Anton, we’re having fun. – We’re doing great. – I feel like we’re gonna get the prize. – Yeah, you’re currently at nine points. You’re gonna need three to win. – Okay, just three points to win. – Awesome. – But there’s a lot of different, hmm, stuff here. – Right, but we have our five clarifications. Hit it! – So instruction one. – Oh, we gotta shave off her eyebrows. Oh, gosh, all right. – Grab. It’s like this right here, coming across the forehead. Coming across the forehead, and then it looked like maybe paper, I don’t know. Grab the, I don’t know if this represents a color of paper. – Let’s see that one more time. – Grab something paper. So we gotta know, we have to know what this is but– – [Rhett] You know– – No, what is this? – I think, well, he pointed to his eyebrows. – Should we ask what this is? – Black. He pointed to his eyebrows. Grab the black– – He pointed, no, he didn’t. He like did a, he did like a total– – Okay. – It has to be a color. – Let’s use, this is an important step. Can you tell us what this means, what you did with– – This is one sign. Blackboard. – Oh. (crew laughs) We were totally wrong. – Grab the blackboard. – Blackboard. – Okay. Then get rid of the whiteboard. – Man, I’m glad we asked him that. – Hey, but I was right about the eyebrows. – How are you right about the eyebrows? – Blackboard. – Okay. Well, we know we got that one. All right, step two. – [Rhett] Hang loose, dude. – [Link] Whoa! – Okay, he just did– – Whoa! – He did letters. – He did a lot more than I was ready for. – He did letters. Okay, one more time. – Face. – Okay, you gotta draw a face. – Draw a face. – That is saying something. He signed, he went into like the alphabet. – He’s done it twice. We get it one more time. – Do you know any of the alphabet? Do you remember that? ‘Cause we all learned some of that stuff at some point. – You’re saying he was spelling something. – Yes. – See, I, should we ask for a clarification? I feel like I need it a third time, but maybe we just need to step through it. – Well, I can’t remember it all. I think we gotta see it one more time and then we might have to ask about one part of it. – We might pause you. What, pause. – Boom. And I don’t think that means, all right, listen up. We’re getting ready to go. – All right, un-pause. Oh, pause! – I think he just spelled the F word. (crew laughs) – There’s only three letters. – No, ’cause it was four letters and that was the last one. – Oh, we should have paused it with every letter. – I think he just spelled the F word. We’ve gotta write F word on the board. – No, we’re not. – It could mean anything. – See, it’s like, this, I don’t know what, what is this? Should we ask him what this means? This could mean marker, I don’t know. – That means hang loose, dude. – Let’s find out. – Okay. – What is this? – What does this mean? – This is the sign for yellow. – Oh, it is? – Grab the yellow chalk because we’re dealing with this. – Well, first of all, there is no yellow, there’s no yellow dry erase, and we’re not in the dry erase world. – And I say we gotta draw a face that’s giving an expletive. – So yellow, something that ends in a K. All right, un-pause. Draw. – [Rhett] Draw it. – Draw a big old face. – I think it’s a big face. – We have to know what he was spelling. And he can’t give it to us again, but we can ask him. We got plenty of life lines to blow. – Well, I don’t know how much this, I mean, how many steps are there in this whole thing? – This is also another five steps. – See, yeah, we’re on step two, bro. We gotta just draw a big face. We know that it’s a big face. What is the big face saying? We don’t know yet. – But we have five lifelines. – Yeah, but we got three more steps after this and we got, we’re already hurting. – Okay. – I feel good about– – Draw a big old, don’t take up the whole thing ’cause he’s probably gonna have to draw, we’re gonna have to draw something else. – Oh, is that almost a perfect circle? No. – No. Yeah. Yeah, Rhett. You drew a perfect circle, man. It’s great. (crew laughs) – And he’s saying– – I think it’s a duck face, so make that a beak. What did you just do? (crew laughs) – It’s a special beak. – It’s a special beak. – I don’t believe in that choice, just so you know. I just think it’s a big yellow face. I think what happens is every once in a while, you get to a spot in American Sign Language where the clarity needed can only be found in spelling something out. This is totally theoretical at this point, okay, ’cause I don’t have any experience with this but I’m just saying– – And you don’t wanna ask what it was. – Well, we can’t ask ’cause all we can do is ask letters. – All right, next step. I think he said erase the beak ’cause it was horrible. (crew laughs) – He pointed at eyes. – All right. Give it to us again. – Okay, so we’re gonna draw eyes. This is important. This sideways thing. – I didn’t even see that that time. – ‘Cause that was a new thing. That was a new thing. – All right, what is, what was that thing that I didn’t see, this? – This is the sign for like. – Like. – Make the eyes look like whatever he spelled. – We have to get the spelling, and it’s the same thing that he spelled before. – [Rhett] Okay. – Therefore, we get a two for one. – [Rhett] Yeah, right. – And so we need to know– – And it’s probably not– – What you spelled? – A duck beak. Okay, so I can’t, we can’t get all of it. We can get, I think we can get one sign. I can’t, I don’t think we can get the whole word. – Okay, we know that the last one’s a K. – Can you just, well, we don’t, really. I’m just– – I thought this was a K, but he did this. – But he’s also, but here’s the thing. He’s doing it in a way that is– – This is a K, so that– – It’s backwards to us. And you would think that in sigh language– – No, it’s not. No, it’s not backwards to us. – Yeah, it is. Okay, okay. Now, yeah, ’cause he did it with the other hand. Okay, so it is a K. Can you spell that? We have one more time through this, right? We haven’t done it three times. L. I. – [Link] L-I. – [Rhett and Link] N-K! – Oh, I knew it! I knew what my freaking name was! (crew laughs) – Okay, so, we’re drawing Link’s face! – I should have known that, man. I’m sorry. – [Rhett] That looks just like Link’s face. – [Link] Good work. – Next step. – [Link] Draw long neck. – Oh, draw him with a five head. (crew laughs) – I think– – What was it? One, two, three, four, five. – I thought it was four. – He said draw him with a five head. – No, he said forehead. – Okay, so I gotta– – [Link] Make sure– – Make sure it’s got a big forehead. – I think you’re gonna have to start… – So this is, the hair’s up here off. This is the forehead. And it’s really a one, two, three, four, five head. – You turned me into Frankenstein, man. (Rhett chuckles) (crew laughs) – That looks just like you. – I know I got a big forehead, Anton. You didn’t have to make this whole thing about that. – Are we ready for the last instruction? – [Rhett and Link] Oh, yeah. (Rhett laughs) – I think it might be now erase the whole thing, and it might be like erase the whole thing and get rid of the– – You wanna know what this is? ‘Cause that’s the only thing I remember him doing. – Do it all one more time. – Do it all one. All right, push. – Let’s get this, let’s get this. – What’s this? – Creation. – Oh, gosh. – He’s referring to whatever you did, the creation. – Push the creation. (crew laughs) – Push the creation. Let’s see it a third time. Push it. – What is that? – Pose. – Pose next to your creation, Link! (crew laughs) – Perfect! (crew applauds) – We did it. How many points do I get? – I feel like we can award some bonus points for this one, but that round, we earned eight points. – Eight points! (bell dings) – We nailed it! – Okay, so can you just quickly just read off each instruction ’cause I just wanna know what we were trying to do. – Absolutely. So the first one was grabbing the blackboard. (bell dings) – [Link] Grab the blackboard. – Then with the yellow chalk. (bell dings) – [Link] Yep. – Draw a big face. (bell dings) You wanna make it look, make this look like Link. (bell dings) – [Link] Yes! – You’re gonna draw six giraffes (buzzer blares) on the forehead. (bell dings) – [Rhett and Link] Oh! – Yeah, we got close. – Six giraffes. This is giraffe? – Giraffe, right? – Oh, right, here. – [Anton] Right, here we are. – Long neck. – And finally, posing with your creation. (bell dings) – Wow, so the only thing we missed is the giraffes. – Yeah. – And technically– – I gotta hand it to you, Rhett. – This are giraffes. – You kinda took the, you kinda took it to a new level. I was lost. I didn’t even know my own name. (Rhett laughs) All right, but we did ear the prize, right? – Yep, a very special ASL prize. – All right. – ASL prize. What could it be? – Let’s get it. – This is a sculpture of Lucas. – [Rhett and Link] A sculpture of Lucas. (crew laughs) – Took some liberties there, Mad Dog. – Which– – It’s pretty cool though. – Which Lucas? (Rhett chuckles) – It’s pretty dang cool! I gotta tell you that right now. – Did you make this? – [Lucas] Yeah. It’s me. – Looks just like you. Pose like it. – Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, now I see it. Okay. – You look very elderly. (crew laughs) – Really? – This is like a, it’s future Lucas. (Link laughs) – Okay, special thanks to Anton for all his knowledge, help, and patience with us today. (crew applauds) – Thank you, Anton.
