Today we’re reliving our most embarrassing moments of 2023. Great. Let’s talk about that. ((Intro Music)) Good Mythical Morning, and it’s gonna be a great one! What would you say is the most embarrassing thing about being my friend? Hmm, I don’t know, Rhett. Maybe it’s when you, like, audition for stuff when we’re in college, and then the footage resurfaces mysteriously. Mysteriously! And materially. And by, ways that I know not. With people that I know not. Is that Christmas tree sweater, like, really squeezing your brain right now? What’s, what do you got in here? What is, what is that? It’s a rolled up washcloth. To poise my treetopper. Yeah, you gotta keep your treetop poised. Yeah, this might be, this is definitely the most embarrassing year of my life since probably the, the year that I shaved my beard. Yeah, I don’t know. I mean, this is, this was a, I grew a lot. My character just shot through the roof this year. You know what I’m saying? Yeah, good. Look at the silver lining. I like that. Alright, but that, we’re not starting with that one because that would imply that it was the most embarrassing moment. We got some other least embarrassing moments to go through first. Or less. Less. They’re still pretty embarrassing. They’re not least embarrassing. They’re actually all most embarrassing, but they’re the less embarrassing, most embarrassing moments. Most embarrassing part of this first one is maybe setting it up. Yeah, I’m not setting it up. I’m not setting it up. I said it first. – You set it up. – I’m not setting it up. Okay. Let’s just say. Oh, you want to? Okay. Alright. Rock, paper, scissors, shoot. You set it up. Alright. This is from June 21st when we took cream to the face. Yep, so there you go. That’s embarrassing. You’re gonna spray us directly, huh? Yeah. Don’t make it weird. Yeah, right. ((Laughing)) That was cool to watch, man. Yeah. That was really cool to watch from that angle. To see you get choked? You’re fine, you’re fine. It touched the button. Cap’n Crunch. That tasted good. – [Stevie] Yeah, you want to taste it again? Just until you get, you confirm? Yeah. I’m just kind of afraid. Open bigger. Yeah. You’re fine. It’s very obvious now. Tighten your cheeks up as much as you can. But you have to open wider. You still gotta get wide, though. Okay, so what am I doing? I’m just gonna be loose. Okay, okay. ((Laughing)) I’m so. That’s a bad idea, bro. I should have been tight. Relaxing your mouth isn’t, just so, between us, not a great idea. Like my mouth was totally not ready and it, it rejected it. Like once it went in, it firmed up. You know what, I’ll show you how it’s done. Y’all, it gets harder to explain to my family and friends what I do for work. Whoa. You keep trying to explain it? Yeah. Like every day I work here, it gets harder and harder. He’s not gonna do well with this. Yeah. Not gonna do well at all. You know why? Yeah. You shouldn’t do this to cream! What have you done to cream for me? Are you relaxed or tight? You have to have your mouth wide open. You need to go wide but tight. Wide but tight. Real wide, but real tight. There you go. Cheeks tight. Okay, okay. Chin up, chin up, chin up. Aim right up, aim right there. Okay. It’s too high. You want me to go farther? A little lower. Keep your mouth open. ((Laughing)) It made it in though. It worked! Wow. Based on that, I feel like you gotta be a little bit closer. I feel like we can go further. My mouth, no! My mouth is so small though. No, I think it might be bigger. Okay, so open. Okay. Ready? ((Laughing)) You went a little low. I’m just gonna. ((Laughing)) Okay, ready? I’ll go. Give him a little distance. Same distance as last time. Well, I want. Same distance as last time? Yeah. There wasn’t that much that got in me. I want both the, this is a two. We’re crossing streams here. I want the streams to cross right in my mouth. Okay. Ready? ((Laughing)) Didn’t work, did it? Let me get closer, maybe. You were pretty close. Do you need? I mean, this one, like, just went out there. Look at my hair. Now, do you want me to do gentle, too, or go for it? Go for it. Okay. Yeah. What is that? ((Laughing)) Taste and see. Boy. Wow. I definitely don’t look like someone who won something. ((Laughing)) I look like someone who’s been, like, held prisoner by the candy monster. That was, that was, that’s, that’s rewatchable right there. That, that, and it’s KG, you did it, girl. Is this what you’ve been telling family you do for a living? Like, you just send them this episode? – [KG] I just show this video. Yeah, right, yeah. It’s just that sound. I wasn’t embarrassed at all. I wasn’t embarrassed. I feel great. I was very pleased. That may, that may be my favorite episode of the year. Oh wow. I mean, I’d completely forgotten about it, but, now that I remember it pretty great. I mean, do you watch it back a lot, KG? For a boost. – [KG] I show my family. I’m like, look, this is what I do. And they’re like, oh, okay. You definitely have a future in it. And we should. We should, you should. After that, why did, why wasn’t KG just constantly spraying stuff in our mouths? Right. Yeah. Seems like. Seems like that needs to be. That’s what next year is. That’s what, that’s the real takeaway. Next year is for more cream on the face. Just spray it, just get KG to do the mouth spray. More and more and more. This next one is more about, I mean, you know, because we know we’re about to at some point on this episode really embarrass me. Yes. So we’re gonna set that up by showing the time we tried our best to embarrass you this year. Do you remember the April Fool’s episode where we gas lit the hell out of you? It was so confusing, but I’m used to feeling that way. We definitely, we did this. You know, cause there’s a lot of misuse of the term gaslighting on the internet. Every time somebody feels like they’re beginning to lose an argument, they’re like, oh, you’re gaslighting me! We wanted people to just understand what gaslighting is. So that, you know, sociology professors can use this in class. Psychology professors can use this in class. That’s the purpose of this episode. It’s an educational tool. This is gaslighting Link. Is that what we titled it? No. March 31st. An educational video in what gaslighting truly is. No, we called it, What Was This Pasta Tossed In? Okay. As you might know, tomorrow is April Fool’s Day. However, we do not do episodes on the weekend, so we weren’t planning on doing anything. And so Link has no idea that there’s a prank, an April Fool’s Day prank, that’s about to happen to him. Yes, I got together with the crew. And we have decided that we’re going to be messing with his senses for this episode in order to make him question his entire reality. Oh, buongiorno, buongiorno, in the name of the pasta, the sauce, and the holy garlic toast, amen. Okay. Wow. It’s an Italian Turbo. He’s really committed. I love it. You know me, I do everything big in the beautiful bellissima. – [Stevie] You ready? Yes. I. ((Noise)) What is that noise? I toss the pasta. Oh, that’s your tossing noises? I’m doing my job, what do you want from me? Okay. Hey, I’m tossing the pasta over here. ((Laughing)) Are you now? Yeah, you like noods? I saw you had noods earlier, but I have more. All right. She’s got more. She saw us earlier, but she’s got more. What part of, something just, something just, something just dripped in my hair. What? What? What was that? What? Did something just drip? Do we have a leak? Well, we do have a leak. I think I know. I think I know. I keep getting stuff dropping in my hair. What is that? Is that you? Is that more spit? Am I paranoid? Am I going crazy? Aw, you might be crazy. Sorry. ((Laughing)) Aw, Tio Link, it’s okay. It’s quite a drip. – [Woman] Oh, wait, sorry. I mean like right there on top of my head, it was like just a big drip. One pasta for you. And one pasta for you. Enjoy. Wow, thank you so much. You’re welcome. Where is my, okay. See, now I’m hearing a crackling. Like, right here. Like, there was water, and now I hear a crackling, like, literally right here. ((Grunt)) It’s like. Who’s that grunting? It’s got like a, it’s fruity. Still tossing over there. You tossing? Yeah, I’m still tossing. I got a job to do. Stop! What is happening? This is not, this is not noodles, and now there’s wetness on my hair! And there’s, I’ve heard grunting the entire episode, and no one has told me what’s been going on! ((Grunt)) That! Three, two, one. Rubber stuff. Stop. Please. What is happening? Okay, let’s see if we were right. What is happening? April Fool! Happy Cotton Candy Day, Daddy! And also April Fool! Hey, but here’s the good news. You won the game! That was so weird, y’all. That was dumb, man. That was so. It was so much fun to be there, though. I mean, I never watched it back until just looking at those snippets just there, and it went, it went better than I thought it did. When you were being dripped on, did you, what, what, what did you think? Well, at first, I mean, sometimes noises, I think the noise was, and noises happen. And, you know, like if you wanna be professional, sometimes you gotta. You just gotta. Pretend there’s no noise. You gotta pretend there’s no noise. Yeah, I do it all the time. That’s what we do. I mean, we gotta stay, we gotta, we gotta do what we do no matter what happens. But it’s tough to pretend there’s no water dropping on your head. Well, this roof does leak. It does. And at that point, I was kind of in this, I was discombobulated, man. It was like I was on my heels. Were the things that were in front of his face? And I never smelled dookie. They were supposed to stink. Right? Yeah. We hope they would smell, but instead it just had an auditory reaction. But I sent out so many messages to the crew before this saying, like I was so excited about it. I said, do not blow this. Don’t laugh while things are happening. Act like nothing’s happening. And everybody did it. And I was the one back here, like dying, and almost blew it like so many times, I had to leave the room, I was laughing so hard. Oh really? Yeah. I was so confused man, I was like, what, what is it, you know, what is expected of me? I’m gonna be professional. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you really kept it together. Always err on the side of professionalism here at this desk, you know? Have a reputation to uphold and I have a job to do. Yeah, we knew you would do that. We knew that’s how you would respond. Gaslit. Can we, can we, can we watch it again? Can we get to it? Are we finally there? Are we to the most cringe thing we’ve ever done? And by we, I mean you. And I was just here for it, and maybe I discovered the footage. But I’m not the one who said, this has to be an entire episode of Good Mythical Morning. And neither am I. I’m the one that almost said, hold on, we’re making this an episode? Let’s not do that. But I didn’t. I took one for the team. And you know what you did? Of course, every year on our podcast, Ear Biscuits, we do our top ten moments of the year. Yes. And we share them for the first time with each other on the show. And you actually put this as one of your moments. I did. Because of the growth it has given me. It was humbling to you. You know, I needed, I needed it to be in the top 10 most significant moments of 2023. Because how could it not be? You know? ((Rhett Laughing)) So let’s get to it from September 26th. There’s really no reason to do any more commentary on it. Here it is! Did you know that I auditioned to be on The Real World? And did you know that I found the footage? My name is Rhett McLaughlin. I’m 21 years old and I live in Raleigh, North Carolina currently. I’m gonna take a little bit more than 10 minutes out of my life to show you 10 minutes of my life so you can consider whether or not you’re gonna put a couple of months of my life on a tape which people will watch for a couple of hours of their life during the day which could change their life. Which will bring you guys money. Oh, God. Will bring me fame and glory. Women on every arm, which there’s two of those arms, so both arms. An endless supply of condoms. ((Rhett Laughing)) My name is, my name is what? ((Rhett Laughing)) My name is who? My name is ((Laughing)) Is it over? No, but that’s where they stopped it. I’m just ready to amaze you. What’s that? Why didn’t you stop me? You were. I think this was on a tripod. Oh, nope. ((Laughing)) Yeah, you were in the room with me! You were in, you were in, that was, wow. ((Laughing)) Okay, hold on now. Hold on a second! The tide is turning! Whoa! Okay, Rhett. Look at that 21 year old body, getting to move around in ways that I currently cannot. Whoa. Whoa. What are you throwing away? I don’t know, man. My dignity. There we go. There we go. Apparently it kept going. Oh yeah, it did. Hey, that was awesome. Rhett McLaughlin on the subject of sex. Oh, God. I’m a virgin! Never had sex! But I’m sure it’s good! Sure I’ll enjoy it when I have it. But yeah, truthfully, I’m a virgin. ((Laughing)) Wish I had some black leather pants and I wish I had a lot of jewelry. Wish I had some gel in my hair and I wish I could grow a full goatee. But I can’t. But I can’t. I felt stupid too. Everybody wants to be a Backstreet Boy. You don’t look too confident. Every guy has a dream to be in that group. Everybody wants to be a Backstreet Boy because the young girls think they’re cool. I feel kind of awkward and weird about the video that we made tonight, but I don’t think it completely encompasses me as an individual. This is one night of my life put on the ten minutes of tape. I want you guys to get to know me better. Yeah, he did not get a call back. Still waiting. Wow. What a, what a moment. You know, I really appreciate you being there in that moment. I hate that I was included. And I really appreciate, I guess it was Greg zooming out and panning over because you have repeatedly denied being, you have repeatedly denied being a part of it. But the fact that you were there. Yeah. Makes me feel like I’m not just completely out on an island by myself. Did you edit it? I know I’ve asked you this before, but I don’t remember. I actually, I don’t remember actually submitting it. Because I don’t remember, because I would have had to edit it to down to like a minute or whatever, and I just don’t. I bet you edited it down to ten minutes. There’s no, there’s no evidence, there’s no evidence of it ever having been edited. Yeah, because I think you watched it. Yeah, I definitely think I was like, I don’t know if there’s anything here. But maybe, maybe I’ll sit on it for 20 years or so. Are we having a conversation right now that we had then as well? I don’t know. Maybe we had it on the Society. The dancing is still very. Yeah, I’ve tried a few of those moves since then, I’ve tried a few of those moves and I can’t do that anymore. Really cool. Really cool. Yeah, so I’m working on my way back to being able to recreate that. And I will say, as you pointed out while we were watching it. I was dying laughing again. We had to take the music that I was actually dancing to. Don’t, don’t try to make it better. No, no, no, I’m saying, you guys could have chosen the same BPM at least. I mean that would have been, it would have been helpful. Because I was definitely on rhythm. But for copyright purposes we had to put in some. – [Stevie] You think that’s what made it bad? Some royalty free. No, actually I’m quite proud of that part. – [Stevie] Oh, okay. Quite proud of that part. – [Stevie] Great. Wow. Still a virgin? Uh, nope. Good. Not anymore. Not anymore. I’ve completely expended my lifetime supply of condoms. Alright, so, I’m exhausted from secondhand embarrassment yet again. And from laughing so hard during that thing. That’s a good way to wrap up this week. Next week, we’re bringing you even more fun. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, Good Mythical Marathons. Yes, hours worth of the best episodes from your favorite GMM formats. Not just from 2023, but from all of Good Mythical Morning history. Yeah, so episodes put on, complete episodes back to back to back with, a little bit of modern day commentary from us in between. Very modern day. That’ll be on Monday, Christmas day.
