GMM 2253: Can We Remember People We’ve Met? (Challenge)

How well can we remember the people from our past when they are right in front of us? – Let’s talk about that. (cheerful folk music) Good Mythical Morning and Happy Birthday, Rhett! – Oh, really? (applauding) Oh. Oh, I mean, when you get to be my age, these things just sneak up on you. You don’t even know that it’s your birthday. – Memory loss. – Yeah, uh-huh, right. You can’t remember these things, to be right on theme with what we’re gonna do today. – October 11th, you’re the big 4-5. – I’m 4-5, halfway to 90? – Good gosh. – Is that what you said? – Yes. Isn’t that crazy? How many 45 year olds are just– – Do I know? Not many. – Still working on the internet. I mean, you are fortunate that you have a friend like me, a younger friend. – I’m working real hard on the internet. – Yeah, you are, trying real hard. – Here’s the thing. As you get older and older like me, you become, every year, just more and more grateful that you get to spend time with the Mythical Crew every day. (applauding) Yeah. And your best friend, your best friend in the world right here at a little desk with you. I hope my best friend got me something very expensive for my birthday. – Nope. But speaking of remembering things and forgetting things, we have all been in that situation where you find yourself face-to-face with someone whose face that you just can’t place. – Yeah. – You know you know this person, but from where? – Yes, that classic where do I know you from?! The verbal equivalent to being caught with your pants down around your ankles. It’s a true social nightmare. – Isn’t it though? – Yeah. – And we have taken this true social nightmare, and in true GMM fashion, we have turned it into a true game. How well will our memory serve us when it comes to remembering people who have been on this show? And I’ve been told these people are actually here. – Uh-oh. – This is my birthday present to you, Rhett. – Thank you. – Gulp. It’s time for You Look Familiar. I Know You, I Swear. Were You The One Who Plucked My Pubic Hair? Wait, No, That Was Me Who Did That. (suspenseful orchestral music) – Welcome to the Where The Heck Do We Know You From Zone. – [Stevie] Okay, boys, you’re about to see a lineup of photos, one of which will be a photo of someone you both have met and interacted with on this show. You’ll first compete to figure out which person you’ve met, and then that person will actually come out from behind that curtain. – Oh, snap. – This is fun, man. – [Stevie] Finally, you will both compete to remember exactly how you know them. The winner will get a photo of their favorite memory. Let’s go ahead and see that first lineup of photos, shall we? – [Link] We shall. Oh, three people. They could be related. – Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness, I don’t remember anybody. – This is not sparking any sort of memory for me either. – We’ve done quite a bit on this show. Who would you like to know the most of these three white dudes? – [Link] Well. I mean, boy, he’s professional, isn’t he? – Yeah. I feel I’m just a little intimidated by him. Like, he might ask me what my interest rate should be or something. – Right. – Hey, what’s your interest rate? What should it be? – Right. – Should you refi is what he is saying. – Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. – And you don’t want to expose the fact you don’t know anything about refi. – And this guy obviously can do magic tricks. Right? Like a couple, but he’s also sorry about it. He’s like, I’m sorry I know a lot of magic. – You know what? – You think you know, don’t you? – It’s coming to me. Now, I think I know. And we’re white boarding this? Take your pick. – I’m just picking a letter? I’m not picking what I’m, just the person I think I know. – Yeah, the letter. – [Stevie] This is only step one. – What are you gonna do, like draw him? – I’m not trying to say where they’re from yet. – Oh no? – Yeah, correct, or if they know magic. – Okay. – Just the letter. – [Link] Okay. – [Stevie] Show me. – I feel like it’s B. I’ve seen that guy. – I feel like it’s B as well. – I remember that smile. – Yes. – It’s the smile. – It’s unforgettable, it’s unforgettable. – I’m afraid to meet C because of the whole refi. – Interest rate thing, right. – I’ve already erased mine. – [Stevie] Will the person behind the curtain please come out? – Oh! – No! You’re A! Aren’t you? You look different. – Yeah, that is me, I believe. – Man! – We definitely met! – We have. – And now, you know what? You look different. You’ve changed. – Yeah, I have changed. – You’re bigger in person. – I’m bigger than that typically, yeah. – We do not remember you, man. – Well, can I ask the name? Does that count as a question? – [Stevie] I’ll give you the name for free. – What’s your name? – [Stevie] I’ll give you asking his name for free. – What’s your name, sir? – My name is Curtis. – Curtis! – Curtis! That does ring a bell. Curtis rings a bell. – [Stevie] And y’all, the other, the other photos you’re gonna be seeing of the people who are not here in real life are actually Mythical Beasts, so. – Oh, so the guy with the smile is a fan? – [Stevie] Yeah, he’s a Mythical Beast. – We have a banker fan? – Yeah. – We have a banker fan. – [Stevie] The next point up for grabs can only be earned by figuring out how you know Curtis. In other words, what did he do on this show? And in order to do this, you may ask Curtis up to three questions each. – Curtis, do you remember us? – Who are these guys? No, yeah, I absolutely do. – You just wasted a question. – I got a little sense of humor out of him. You look so much better in person than you did in that selfie. – I really appreciate that. – You’re a handsome guy. – So are you. – Thank you. – Get a room. – Well, we go way back. We have quite a history together. – Curtis, did you, were you here to demonstrate something you could do? – No. – Do you remember something you said to one or both of us? – Yeah. – He said something memorable. I remember somebody named Curtis. – Oi, oi, how much wood could a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck– – Told you! – I got! Hey, that was a good question. – Could chuck wood. It’s still bad all these years later. – Say it again. – How much wood could a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood? – Did you meet a celebrity, besides the two of us, (laughing) when you were here. – There was another guest star of fame here on that episode. – Oh, gosh. I know, I remember! Oh, Curtis, you did the Australian accent. – Oh, you knew it was Australian. – Yes. – That’s remarkable. That is impressive. – I want to ask you a question, but your answer would help him too, so I’m trying to come up with a question that only helps me. – [Curtis] Yeah. – [Stevie] And this is your last question, Link. – You know what? I have those same shoes. – Oh heck yeah, good taste. – But they’re too small for me. – These? – What size shoe do you wear? – This is a 14. – [Stevie] Is that your question? – Good god, you wear a 14? – Yeah. – I think I know. – You ready to guess? – Crap. – [Stevie] Okay, let’s go to the white boards. – I remember you, man. I definitely do. You were a highlight of my life for a little bit. (laughing) – You wanna go ahead? – Is it the who is tattooed episode? – No, but I’m intrigued. – Ah. – Dang it, I said the same thing, the lineup at who has tattoos? – [Stevie] Okay, Curtis, please reveal how do Rhett and Link know you? – I was a decoy on the can you guess the identical twin episode. – Identical twin! – Oh, identical twin? We did that. – [Stevie] To refresh your memory a little bit, here’s a clip. – Okay. – Curtis? – [Rhett] What? – All right, let’s pretend that you are a famous TV actor and tell me your most well known catch phrase. – I’m not Don Johnson. (laughing) – Wow! – Hey, man, I remember you. I’m not Don Johnson. That’s one of the best things that’s ever been said on this show, man. – Thank you. – Yeah, you were the giant who’s not Don Johnson. – Yeah. I guess if you asked who are you not, and then that would’ve been. – Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. If you would have said, I’m not Don Johnson, I would’ve been like, well, I know you’re Curtis. – That is specific. – And do you have any tattoos you want to show us? – I wish. That sounds great, no. – Okay, well, we also do that. – At least we sucked equal. – Yeah, right, in exactly the same way. – You want to sign up for this again? – Yes. (suspenseful orchestral music) – Rhett, are you having a special day? – Oh, it’s so great on my birthday. – And in honor of that, we have a mythical day sweatshirt. – Yes, I requested this design for my birthday. – Yeah, check it out, Mythical.com. – You know what else I did? I have picked a handful of my favorite items from the Mythical Store. – Good. – And we got a little discount, up to 30% off over there for this whole birthday week through the 14th, okay? – It’s a gift for you from the birthday boy. – I’m just in a giving mood. – Right, Mythical.com. – Mythical.com. Oh, okay. – Yeah, yeah, I remember that, I remember when we said that. – [Stevie] All right, let’s see the next set of photos. – Here we go. – Okay. – Oh, this is difficult. I thought I knew immediately, and now I actually don’t. – You know what? They all three look familiar to me, but I believe that this is one of your relatives. – I know! – Like she could be your mom’s sister. No, your mom’s aunt. – She could be my grandma’s youngest sister who’s very close in age to my mom. – Like, she looks like a Paight. – That’s right. – You know what I’m saying? That’s no family name. – No, a Coor. – A Coor? – A Coor. – Last name Coor. – Coors. Hold on, are you part of the Coors fortune? – No, 1-0. Hmm. All right. – [Rhett] I think I know. – Are we going with blurry B? – Or your aunt? Okay. I’m pretty confident. – I’m confident in this one. – I’m pretty confident. – [Stevie] Let’s see it. – This is B. – This is B, y’all. – I remember this person. – Yes. – [Stevie] Okay, will the person behind the curtain please come out? – There it is! – Yes, yes, yes! – She’s back! I remember you. – Yes, yes, yes. – If I saw you on the street, I’d be like, hey, look, I’m on the street with you. – But can you remember her name? – Does it start with a vowel? – It does. – Does it start with A, U, O? – I, E? – Y, sometimes Y? – Sometimes Y could be a vowel. – E. – No! – I’ve said all vowels! – No, you haven’t. – What is your name? – It starts with an I. – Irene. – I, Iris. – It’s the name of a country. – Istanbul. – You got it, Istanbul. – Iran. – India. – India. – India! – Yeah. – Are you happy to be here ’cause I can’t tell. – I am. – Now, here’s the weird thing. I’m gonna go ahead and tell you. I don’t remember exactly what you said, I don’t remember the exact episode. So if you remember the exact episode, you’ve already won this round because I’m having trouble placing the exact thing that was happening. – No, I don’t. – [Stevie] Well, remember, you have up to three questions each, so you can poke around a little bit. – Okay. Did we say anything to you that was memorable? – You did, you did. – Okay. – Oh. – And what was that? – You said something that was very memorable. As a matter of fact, I’ll never forget that question ’cause no one’s ever asked me that question in my entire life. So you wanna know the question? – Yes. – You asked me what process did I use when I was at the grocery store shopping for fruit. – Yes. – That’s what you asked. – Yes! – Oh! – What process did I use while at the grocery store shopping for fruit. – And that’s what led to you saying something that is very memorable. – You said something about squeezing. – And touching and feeling. Yeah. – Yes, you were great. – Yeah. – Yeah. – Yeah. Did you want to know my answer or is that a question? – Yeah. Oh yeah, tell me your answer. – No, I’m asking you what was my answer? – Oh, you’re asking me a question. – Do you remember my answer? – I like the way the tables have turned. – I think it involves touching, squeezing, stroking, feeling. – What? – Eggplant will be too obvious, right? – Yeah, that would be too obvious. – It was a soft fruit with some give. – Was it a gourd? – It was a banana. – Oh, it was a banana. – That’s a little too obvious too. – And we didn’t tell you banana. You came up with banana. – Yeah, I came up with it because that was one of my favorite fruits, but you guys took it to a whole nother level. – No, you took it to a whole other level. – India was just talking about bananas, man. – [India] Yes. – I just wanted you to know that it was innocent. That really was– – Oh, is that why you’re here, to clear things up? – [India] Yeah. – The banana thing. – The banana thing, yeah. – What else do you want to clear up? Do you have any gripes with us, any complaints? – No, I don’t have any complaints. You guys were really cool. – Well, it seems like we have a lot of. We should know it by this point. – I have a guess, I have a guess. Do you have a guess? – Yeah, I’m trying to have a guess. – I mean, it’s not– – Why would we ask you about grocery shopping? – Okay, I’m not 100% confident in this. I may be 50% confident. You go first. What do you think it is? – I thought it was the hidden talent episode where you had a hidden talent. – I thought it was guess that laugh with Zach Braff. – Yes! – Yes?! – Oh wow! – It was guess that laugh episode, yes. – But it wasn’t your laugh or was it? – It was my laugh and then you took that to another level as well. – [Stevie] Let’s see the clip. – All right, I’ve got my suspicions, but I do want to use a lifeline. India, please describe your process for picking out fruit at the grocery store. – First, I go to the bananas and I feel those to see how firm they are. – That’s right. – That’s right, India! – Yeah, you do, India. – Priorities! – I walk right up to those bananas. – Then what? – What happens next? – That’s a good question. – [Rhett] You go to the kiwis, don’t you? – Grapefruits. – Grapefruits, okay, all right. Okay. – It was Zach who took it to another level. – Zach made it dirty. – It wasn’t us! – You know what? You got it right though, Link. You got it right. Congratulations. – Yeah, you got it right. Good for you. – I got the point and you know what? I’ve been meaning to call you. – Yeah. – To apologize? – Just to hang out. – Just to hang out. – Yeah. – That’s cool. – And did you see the bananas and the grapefruit in the green room? – And the plums. – Yeah, yeah. – Yeah, and the plums as well. – Take all you want. (suspenseful orchestral music) – [Stevie] Okay, guys. This is the last round so it all comes down to this. Let’s see the set of photos. – There they are. Oh my goodness. That guy’s got glasses on his head too. That’s just a thing people do I guess. – But they all have glasses on their head in one way or another. This guy got his picture taken in a place where there’s many, many ring lights. – Maybe it’s one ring light and it’s just reflecting so many different times. Or maybe he’s just looking at like a room full of illuminated Fruit Loops. Every person seems equally unrecognizable. One of them seems a teeny bit more, a teeny bit more familiar to me. – One of these guys looks really familiar. C looks. Well, I shouldn’t say that. – Go ahead and say it. Say what you were thinking. Do you feel related to any of them? – I don’t feel related to any of ’em. I just feel like, I feel like I’d like to know C as a neighbor, but maybe that’s because I’ve met him. – Oh. – Okay. – But not more than a neighbor? – Just a neighbor, just an acquaintance. – Just over the hedge, what’s up? – Well, a get my mail for me while I’m out of town neighbor, but don’t come over for dinner. – Please get my mail for me. You can’t tell your neighbor. – Please. – Please. – Please. – Would you mind getting my mail for me? – How are you feeling? I’m just gonna say one of them feels more familiar to me, but I do not know why. – Right, okay. – They are familiar to me. – So should I go with my gut or should I change it? I gotta go with my gut. Okay, yeah. – Okay, let’s see. – I’m going with my neighbor, C. – I’m gonna go with not my neighbor, my friend, A. – Your friend A? – Yeah. – [Stevie] Okay, will the person behind the curtain please come on out. – [Link] Come on out, C! – The hand gives it away. – It’s my neighbor! – It’s great to see you! Right on. – It’s great to see you too, man. – I’m so psyched. – It’s been so long. – I know, right? This is awesome! – Hey, wow, you guys really go back, don’t you? – You remember me, guys? – Yeah, this is is my friend Rhett. – I just wanted you to know I’m rooting for Rhett because I always root for the underdog. – Yeah. At this point, I can’t win. – So, we’re not neighbors? That was the feeling. That’s what I do normally when I think I’m supposed to know somebody and I’m with somebody. I’m like, hey, this is my friend Rhett. – He does seem familiar. – And then at that point, you tell Rhett your name and I’m out of it. – What’s your name, sir? – My first name is two syllables. – Right? – Well, it depends. You could make it one syllable. It’s like Lincoln and Link. – Oh, you can shorten it? And it starts with a consonant? – It’s an M. I’ll give you my first name. It is– – Monty. – Michael. – Michael. – Michael, Michael. – But also, it could be Mike. – That gives it all away. – I’m the one who actually got this right though. Why am I apologizing? I know you. – Was there physical contact? – Ooh. – When you were on? Did we make physical contacts with you? – I don’t know if I can answer that question, Jesus. – I’m just playing the game, man. – I mean, you know. Am I supposed to answer that kind of question? – [Stevie] Yeah, go ahead. – All right, all right. You know, there were some moments where we we touched each other. Actually, yeah. – Yeah, I just feel like we’ve touched. That’s what I was gonna say. I feel like I’ve touched this man. I feel like I’ve touched Michael. – But I haven’t touched you, right? – I don’t know if I can make that statement either. – You put the fear of God in this guy. He doesn’t want to answer anything. This is the game, you have to answer. – I gotta keep it on the down low. – Did I touch you? – We also had some touching moments. – Had some touchy moments. – We touched. – I don’t have any idea what the episode was, man. I saw him, and sometimes you see somebody and you’re like, we’ve touched, you know? – [Stevie] Yeah, but you didn’t even know that you knew him second ago. – Yeah, what’s with that? That’s true. You didn’t know who I was and now suddenly we’re touching each other. – 2D and 3D are very different. – I’m kind of insulted, man. – Was the touching, did it happen here or outside of the studio? – Well, I will say that it was outside of the studio, but it was in this like municipality. – We touched you in Burbank. – You touched me. Burbank is the place, for those who don’t know. – Okay, that’s some good information. – Get touched in Burbank. – Not in this studio, but in Burbank. – Were you demonstrating something? – In a matter of speaking, I was. I was, I was. – Were you acting? – God, I hope I wasn’t acting. You hope I wasn’t acting. That’s a problem. – What? Man, I mean. – [Stevie] I think it’s time to write your guesses down on the whiteboard. – Okay. – You know, no offense, Michael. – You can’t offend me. – But I feel weird. Because we both touched you outdoors, I feel like, you said, I feel like– – Did we say that? – I’m remembering that you said in the principality of Burbank. – Burbank. That doesn’t say anything about indoors. Does that mean indoors and outdoors? I don’t know. – [Stevie] No, we said in Burbank. – We said in Burbank. – But I felt like it was outdoors and I’m just picturing– – That’s just your, that’s your feeling. – We did a skit in a playground. – Dude, this is Dr. Hyman who gave us our vasectomies, man! – Oh my god! Oh my god! – I can’t believe it! – Oh my god, it’s you! – I can’t believe that you don’t know this! – Oh my god! I remember you! – You better hope I wasn’t acting. – Oh god! – Otherwise, you better get those guys checked out. – I can’t believe it! – You may not be shooting blanks now. – You didn’t have a beard at the time, did you? This is a pandemic beard. – I did not have a beard at the time. – Oh my gosh! Hey, man. – What’s up? – Thank you so much. Thank you so much. – I didn’t know immediately. – In truth, I’ll be honest. – You’re the best thing that ever happened to me. – Link was definitely behind the eight ball on this because I doped you up that day, man. – You gave me a big pill! – But then you were so nervous, I had to pump you up with Demerol in the office. That’s the only guy I’ve ever had to do that on, ever! I’ve done 4,000 vasectomies. I tell my patients now, only one out of 4,000. I don’t tell him who, but only one out of 4,000 needed Demerol. I think I even, you know, I do this podcast now, Two Men and A Doc, and I think I mentioned it on my podcast. I didn’t use your name. – Oh, you can. Please promote us. – We’ve got a whopping 150 subscribers, but I didn’t mention you. And I just said, yep, there’s been one guy out 4,000 that needed a shot of Demerol during his vasectomy. – Say that’s Link Neal, please do that. – [Michael] I don’t want to get in trouble. – When did you remember it was Dr. Hyman? – Halfway through. Halfway through our interaction. And you know what it was? It was like your cadence of speaking and I was like, oh yes. And then it was like outside of the studio and then it just like hit me. – Your charisma. – The beard is what threw me off. – Wow, charisma. – You didn’t look like yourself in the picture ’cause of the beard. – That’s why I got it right at first. So, who won? – Well, so– – You still won. – [Stevie] So for the Mythical Beasts that haven’t seen that vasectomy episode, here’s a little clip. – Oh god. – Hold me, Link. – That is clammy, man. ♪ This is how we do it ♪ – I’m now going to cauterize your vas deferens. You will not only hear the sound of cautery. I’m going to actually. – You’re burning it. – The smell is usually the most memorable. What do they say? Like, you have– – 80% of taste. I feel like I’m tasting my own balls right now. – Ooh, it just hit me. I’ve never wanted to smell your balls before, definitely not from the inside. – You should see the guys shooting your camera. – Don’t like your knees, guys, whatever you do. – [Michael] I don’t think they’re gonna make it. – It kind of smells like marshmallows. – Ooh. – Like marshmallows that went too far. – Bust out the graham crackers and chocolate bars. – Don’t please. – Am I ever gonna see you again? – Come on up. Yeah, all you have to do is watch this episode to see me every day. – But we never saw you. So we never got to tell you. I mean, I haven’t made any children. – That’s good. Otherwise, I’d be in big trouble. – We both had so much fun because of you. – Oh my god, it’s been– – So much fun. – Life has been so much better. – And your wives are very thankful. – Such a turning point just in my life. – [Stevie] And hey, Link, guess what? You also won today’s episode. – You did. – Why are you talking to me like a baby? – ‘Cause she just watched you get a vasectomy. – So, this is my prize. This is me, what? – Wow. – In a nice– – Memory. – Where’s the tutu? – Favorite memory, remember? – Yeah, I remember doing this. – Yeah, yeah, I remember that. That’s a wonderful memory.
