Today, we’re reliving an episode worth reliving. Trust me. Let’s talk about that. Good Mythical Morning. Once again, it’s time to take a ride down one of my favorite lanes. The fast lane? No. The carpool lane? Tempting, but no. Lane Bryant. Not today, at least. We’re taking a ride down memory lane with one of my favorite recent-ish episodes of this show, Good Mythical Morning. Oh, yes. That is what we’re doing. Now. when I heard that you picked this episode, I was a little surprised, you know, because I do recall hitting you in the balls with a Nerf blaster. That’s not exactly how it happened, and so it looks like you need a rewatch. Okay. Despite that moment, I do love this episode because it puts our friendship front and center, Rhett. We’re asking, do we trust each other? Do we trust each other? Okay. It’s top of mind for me constantly. I need this reassurance that. And this is gonna do it? I can trust you. But the question is, what do we learn from this episode? Can I trust you? Now? How? How now, brown cow. All right. Lane Bryant. June eighth, twenty twenty-one. That’s when this came out, the Do You Trust Me? Challenge. We were still doing challenges back then. It’s my favorite. Roll it. Today, our trust in each other is put to the ultimate test. Let’s talk about that Good Mythical Morning. We’ve been friends for thirty-seven years and counting. Are you counting? Yeah. Counting the. Constantly, by the second. Is it a countdown? Don’t answer that. One of the most important things in a friendship, especially to last this long, is trust. Right? For example, Rhett, I trust that if we’re in a Titanic situation, if that were to happen, that you would move your lanky butt over on that door and we’d spoon for warmth until we were rescued. Okay. So, do you remember when our trust was first established? Well, probably the first time we spooned. Our camping survival situation. But also, seriously, I think it was in elementary school when John Carson was picking on you, and I pushed him in the stomach, and I ended it right there. I think that is when my trust in you was established. I think that’s true. Okay, well, when was my trust in you established? I’m thinking maybe today it’s time for Do You Trust Me? Do You Trust Me? Well, Do You, Punk? How About When I’m Throwing Stuff at Your Junk? Here’s how it works. This game is going to test our friendship in a variety of extreme ways. That may mean physical trust, mental trust, good old fashioned friendship trust. Whatever that is, you’ll find out. In each round, we’re going to be given a trust testing task. Trust testing task. And we’ll both have a chance to be the task doer and the truster. Yeah, the truster is going to have to guess whether or not he trusts the other guy to successfully pull off a specific task at hand. And the truster only wins points if his guess about the doer proves true. And there will also sometimes be points on the line for the doer as well. Points are going to escalate each round. The winner gets a special prize. But the Mythical crew will not tell us what it is. So, we’ll just have to trust them. Welcome to The Trust Zone, boys. Thank you for having us. Yeah, of course. This round will test how well you can trust each other physically. So the blindfolded truster with a target strapped to his inner thigh, which I believe is Link. Yeah. Must assume a squatting position while the doer, which in this case is Rhett, launches balls at said target. So if you could assume the positions that we discussed briefly before this, you’ll see Rhett has the ball launcher. Link is in a squat. And the question is, Link, do you trust that Rhett can hit that target two times in one minute? And here’s the caveat. While not ever hitting your junk. You got pretty good aim. You ever used a dog ball launcher like that before? Not this one in particular. This is new territory for me, but I’m trying. If I hit you in the balls, I get disqualified or I don’t get points, so I’m trying. You know, I’m not gonna be messing around here. I’m really trying. Okay. I’m gonna say I trust his aim. Here we go. In three, two, one. Go. Did that hit the target? Yes. Oh, yeah. One for one, baby. Hey, it was the gun. It was the gun. I mean, I was aiming perfectly. It was just a little kick. Come on, man. It was a little kick. Are you serious? I was trying to hit the target. I was not going for your balls, man. It was right on it. I know, and I did the same thing, but it kind of kicked. That thing’s got a lot of power. It’s kicked. I gotta say, you didn’t hit my balls. What did I hit? The tallywacker? You hit the top of the torpedo. And, boy. Wow. That’s a different kind of pain. In some ways, that’s just as bad. Different kind of pain. Doesn’t linger as much, but it stings. All right, we’re all switched up, Rhett. Do you trust that I will not hit your junks. Well, I’ve learned. But instead, hit your target. I’ve learned two things, which kind of gives me a little bit of an advantage. One, you may feel some, like, vindictiveness right now because I just hit you in the gnads, so that’s difficult to control. I know you. And second of all, I do believe there was some equipment malfunctioning. I’m just saying that it’s a Nerf gun. It’s not like a rifle. It doesn’t go exactly the same place. So there’s user error, probably, but also equipment unpredictability. So I’m going to say I do not trust you to get through this. I do not trust you to hit this target twice in a minute. If you do it, you get points. If I nail the target, only I get points. But when I trusted you, we both could have gotten points. Right. I understand how trust works. I’m ready, Stevie. Okay, here we go. Three, two, one. Go. Oh, God. Okay. That felt like it missed. That was a little wide. Also a little wide. Hold on. Where is it going? It’s over my shoulder? It’s going way too far. I gotta aim for the nuts to hit the. No, no, no. That was the target, wasn’t it? Yep. I believe it was. No, that was. A little high. That’s gonna hurt if it hits the gnads. Come on. It aims straight when I don’t want it to. Yes! Boom. I did it. I did it. I did do that. All right, so. I hit the target twice. I get a point. Rhett, you get no points. That’s what you get for not believing in me, man. Sorry. A few days ago, we spoke to your wives, and they divulged some particularly embarrassing stories about the two of you. What? Okay. Things you would probably rather not have shared all over the internet. I thought I told you never to talk to my wife. I didn’t know you knew who our wives were. Then, we gave you each a choice. Let’s roll the first clip. Rhett, please. Welcome to your chair at your desk. Oh, just like home. I have a blank white envelope. Except for in the envelope, there is an embarrassing story about Link. So I want you to open it. I want you to read it to yourself. So you have a choice to make. Are you going to keep his story a secret and in turn have an embarrassing story read about you? But you’re protecting your friend. Or are you going to read his embarrassing story out loud, and therefore we won’t get to hear an embarrassing story about you? My life is in your hands. Yeah. So, Link, do you have enough trust in Rhett to believe that he decided to have his own embarrassing moment revealed in order to protect you? No. I mean, do I really have to think about this? No, man. I mean, you started reading that story like. I can’t wait for everybody to hear this. It didn’t even cross your mind to protect me, man, I do not trust him. Let’s see. Stevie, I think I’m gonna read this out loud. Of course. It’s not that I’m not interested in protecting Link. It’s very difficult to embarrass Link, and I think that he would probably be proud of this moment. Okay, let’s hear it. One night after a date, Link and I pulled over. This is his wife. With. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, this is. This is. I think Christy wrote this. This is not from me. After a date, pulled over? One night after a date, Link and I pulled over to what we thought was a secluded hiking area. Things were heating up. When an entire Boy Scout troop emerged from the woods and approached the car and saw us, I was mortified. But Link didn’t seem to mind. He said, this is a great thing for the Boy Scouts to learn, a real life experience. See, man. I. I. Do I need to protect you from that? That’s the kind of thing that you would. You would shout from the mountaintops if you could remember it. I am so. Oh, I remember that. I am surprised that Christy shared that. Yeah. It’s more embarrassing for her, because she’s. I’m embarrassed for her, but I’m not embarrassed for me, but, like. Because every day she makes the decision to still be married to you. Okay, so you guessed correctly. But Rhett, let’s see how Link handled things. Link, inside this envelope is an embarrassing story about Rhett. Please read it to yourself and no one else. You have to make a choice. You can keep this story to yourself and therefore protect your friend. Or you could read it out loud. And by reading it out loud, you protect yourself. What is your choice going to be? Rhett? Do you trust Link to sacrifice himself in order to keep your embarrassing moment a secret? There’s a lot of things going on in my mind right now. Number one, this is something that my wife told you guys. I’m genuinely flummoxed. And that’s the first time I’ve used the word flummoxed in twenty twenty-one. I’m glad to bring you to that point. I think you read it, bro. I think you did the same thing to me. Really? You don’t trust me? I feel like it goes both ways. That you would get a kick out of reading. I don’t know. Unless you’re trying to seem more trustworthy. It’s all about. Think about that. It’s all about appearances. There you go. Yeah. I think he read it, though. I think it would be good for him for this to be out in the open. Yeah. All right. Let’s hear it. Rhett hates seeming vulnerable. One night, we were hanging out with Link and Christy, that’s me and my wife, and Rhett, my friend, seemed a little off. His face turned green, and he began rocking back and forth. It seemed like he was going to pass out. But to show what a man he was, Rhett stood up and attempted to walk. He looked like a toddler trying to take his first steps. I had to grab him before he fell and forced him to put his head between his knees. And that is not the end of the story because at that point, he fell over on the floor. Yeah. And fainted. And then he’s like. He kind of came to pretty quickly. And, like, when he came to, he was kind of like a baby, like, he didn’t know where he was, and he was like. And he was looking into Christy’s eyes like he didn’t know who anybody was. And now you’re telling the story. That’s my wife. She just saved your life. I did remember waking up and seeing your wife like an angel right there. And then I was like, where am I? Good to know. That was a little. I mean. I mean, I got it right. But. I don’t know. That was a more embarrassing story than the Boy Scouts. I mean, there were no Boy Scouts there to see me faint. Did you know that episode three of Ronstadt, the scripted podcast we’re starring in, dropped today? Yeah, it did. You get to meet one of Link’s characters, Knee Slapper. He’s a former comedian, currently undead zombie who only wears boxer shorts. And if that doesn’t get you to listen to Ronstadt, I don’t know what will. Yeah, check out Ronstadt on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, wherever you listen to podcasts, and don’t forget to follow so you don’t miss an episode. If you want more info, go to mythical.com/ronstadt. David Hill. Hey, morning, everybody. Morning, everybody. It’s just us, man. Before we kick off this last round, there is a surprise in store for the loser. Whoever has the least amount of points at the end of the game will have their second embarrassing story revealed in Good Mythical More. So, with that in mind, let’s get started. In front of you are three meatballs, and two of them are nasty meatballs. Also in front of you is David Hill, of course, the master of the shell game, if you don’t remember. Let me refresh you on why. All right for the post team to add music to this one? Do me a solid, Casey. Do me a solid. Help me out here. Help me out. Here, everybody. Watch closely. Watch closely, all the viewers here. Do you know where the earthworms are? It’s a gamble. I mean, it is. That was mesmerizing. Especially with the music. I mean, it really did it. Okay. David Hill is going to do his thing once again, but this time with meatballs. So here’s the question. Link, do you trust Rhett to keep his eye on the good meatball? And you should know, the one he picks is the one you will eat. And before you answer, Rhett, I’m going to ask you the same question. Do you trust Link when it’s his turn to keep his eye on the good meatball? So, on the count of three, I need you to give me a thumbs up if you trust the other guy or a thumbs down if you do not. Because you get points for guessing the right meatball. And for guessing a trust. Yeah. If you were right about their performance. Okay. Here we go. Three, two, one. Okay, it’s playing out how it’s been playing out. I trust you. You don’t trust me. I mean. To follow the balls. You did a great job with not hitting me in the balls, and I did hit you in the balls, but, I mean, you’re an easily distractible individual. Nothing against you. Whenever you’re ready. And this is Rhett trying to keep his eye on the good meatball. So, Rhett, we have the good meatball. Bad, bad. Okay. Cups are going on the meatballs. Remember, good, bad, bad. Okay. Here we go. You ever made a smoothie? You ever made a smoothie, Rhett? With some almond milk, spinach, spinach. A little bit of chia seeds, avocado on the side. Oh, my gosh. There’s a train. There’s a train. There’s a train. Ladies and gentlemen, there’s a train. It’s only two in the race. It’s only two in the race. Oh, no. I have no clue where it is. And we stop here. I mean, I will say I don’t know where it is. Well, but that wasn’t what was at stake, you know? Yeah. You weren’t as motivated as me. I believe in you. That’s a good meatball. Chaos. Just a meatball, right? That’s a good meatball. So we both get points. Which means I didn’t. You did not pull ahead. All right, now we switch it up. It all comes down to this. All right, Rhett. You didn’t trust me. So, if I prove you wrong, and hopefully earn some trust, this morning. I win. But if you’re right, you win. So it does come down to this. Whoever’s other secret from their wife is gonna be revealed in Good Mythical More. Right, right, right, right. And these are not just perfectly round meatballs. They’re actually falafel balls. So I still do not trust you. Which one’s the naughty? So we have bad, good, bad. Remember. bad, good, bad. Oh, you just confused me. Okay, good is in the middle. Good is in the middle. Bads are on the outside. Here we go. For the trust. Three, two. Thank you. So far, so good. You ever been to Tokyo? Where it go? Where it go? Where it go? Yeah. That’s awesome. Are you serious? David. He dropped the freaking. Hey, yeah. Anything can happen. Anything can happen when David Hill’s at the wheel. What happened? Chaos magic. I mean, it’s impossible to be upset at this man. But if I were gonna be, it would be right now. Okay, you know what? I like this. Because now. Do you know? It really gives me an opportunity. Of course I know. Yeah. To prove that I am a trustworthy friend. That is the good falafel ball. It tastes like falafel. It’s been on the floor. I will say that. Yeah. Five second rule. If it tastes like falafel. I win. You win. If it tastes awful, I win. It tastes good. That’s just regular falafel. See me? You see me? How’d you do that? See me? Did you know? I kept my eyes on the ball. I concentrated. And you have another secret that’s gonna be revealed in Good Mythical More. Great job. That was. Are you relieved? Also. You should be. You get a special prize as well. Love many. Trust few. Always paddle your own canoe. Okay. Yeah. I don’t follow. Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell. You know what time it is. The trust. So much of it. You trust me more now after watching that? I think the thing that I learned is that we can both trust each other here. Here. To do what it takes to be entertaining. We will throw the other person as opposed to taking another bullet, because. No, I can’t trust you to not hit me in the tip of the torpedo. It wasn’t the balls. See, that’s what you remembered wrong. Well, here’s the thing. You’re saying you can trust me here, but can you trust me there? Over there? Yeah. No, there. In the multi? There, in the ether. Out, when we’re out. That’s not. I don’t think that’s really what we tested. Okay. But I’m fine with it. So the jury’s still out? That’s right. That’s right. Got to keep it guessing. All right. Thanks for going down memory lane, and Lane Bryant with me. Wouldn’t it be great if there was another packet of entertainment that can be delivered to you today? I think that there is, Link. There is a new episode of Wonderhole that comes out today on the Rhett and Link channel. Remember, we’ve said it a lot, but maybe you’re hearing about it for the first time. We have a whole other show that’s on a whole different YouTube channel. It’s the original Rhett and Link channel. The show is called Wonderhole. Here’s a little taste of today’s episode. Extending the weather periscope. Do you think we could drink that cloud? How are we gonna do that? How high are we going? Thirteen thousand feet. Fog is a cloud that you can walk through. What if this isn’t as easy as we thought? It just tastes like tube. That’s the pool. I kind of feel like I got to pee. I think I got a lot. What the hell’s going on here? We’re drinking a cloud. Drinking a cloud. We gotta find a way to get inside the cloud. We’re fog chasers. We’re chasing the fog. Aim for the cloud. Whatever you do, do not let go of the tube. But one day, we’ll be super old. You look great. And super smart. I’m getting it. I’m getting it. You remember when you were a kid, you would spend hours thinking about something that you might do? So go over to the Rhett and Link channel. Check that out. We’re releasing episodes every Friday, six p.m. eastern. three p.m. pacific. So it gives you a good Friday. A good start to your weekend.
