Today, you can expect the most unexpected discoveries. – Let’s talk about that. (upbeat music) – Good mythical special holiday episode. – It’s that time of year again, where we take a whole week to show everyone that we can count backwards from five. – Yeah, we can. – And today’s Wednesday, so we’ve gotten pretty good at it. – Yes and today we are counting down from five, our most unexpected discoveries of the year. Now listen, Benjamin Franklin, he may have discovered electricity. Sir Isaac Newton, he might’ve discovered a little thing called gravity, but do either of those really compare to what we discovered in 2020? I doubt it. – Because that’s when the show gets good. – You know it can get good in a lot of ways. (laughs) – ‘Cause that’s when the show really gets good. – But when it’s like, Whoa, I just feel like – We learned something. – We learned something. – Yeah. – Something happened. – Yeah. – Something happened that we didn’t know was gonna happen, and it made us happy, or sad, or hurt. I don’t know what these things you voted on are. – Right. – Let’s watch the fifth one. – [Stevie] Our number five clip is Link, in classic Link fashions, spoiling the surprise in the try not to twitch challenge. You feeling good? – No, I feel horrible. Go for it. – Stevie, You’re still sore about this in your voiceover? Okay. Oh gosh. – Classic. – That was this year? Wow, long year. I always hated Jack in the boxes. – Seriously? Remember when we had guests? – It’s not going to happen on the pop part. (Jack in the box music) – AAAAHHHH! AAHHH! – Is that it? – No. I don’t think it was a bike. – I don’t think it was a wolf too. – [Stevie] I’m trying to analyze, I, myself, my heart rate increased, and I wasn’t paying as much attention to you, which is my job, so I’m going to need to review playback on that one. Link, sit the F down! – There is a guy in there! – [Stevie] Link, you have completely lost the game! You are no longer in the game sir, you have ruined things. – Wait is there, is there actually- – Aaahhhhh! – Still got it. – How did he get in the box? I thought it was over. – [Stevie] Exactly! – I thought it was over. – [Stevie] My goodness! – I was looking for the bikes! – [Stevie] That is negative fifteen points, for Link, on this round. I don’t need to watch playbacks. – He couldn’t help himself. – What happened? What did I do wrong? We’ve talked about this. – I think a better question is what did you discover? (laughing) Just to keep with the theme here. – Yeah, what did we discover? – We discovered- – That it didn’t go how Stevie wanted it to. – [Stevie] Yeah, that’s gonna be a one-off episode is what we discovered. – What did we discover? – We discovered that if you don’t want Link to do something, you have to tell him. – Make it impossible, make it impossible to do it. – Yeah, right, you can make it impossible to do it. – I mean, the game was try not to flinch, and then once you’re flinchin’, once you’ve flinched – Then you get curious. – You get to look in the boxes. – If y’all had’ve had a way to communicate, who was that in the box, Chase? – [Stevie] Chase. – Who was in the door? Chase. – [Stevie] Chris, I believe. – Oh. – [Stevie] And that performance, I mean man, he busts outta there, forgot about that. – I don’t even know what point I was gonna make, let’s just watch the next one. – [Stevie] Up next, at number four, Link shocks everyone when he proves he has superhuman taste buds. At least when it comes to tasting the color of M&M’s. Put your blindfolds on. – Yeah, I think, I think I can. – Retribution. I think I can too. – [Stevie] And I want you each to tell me what color M&M you think you’re tasting. – I remember being very impressed in this moment. – Oh. Definitely is an M&M. – Yellow. – Blue. – [Stevie] It was blue. – What’d you taste? – She’s already surprised, with the first one. – [Stevie] Okay, and eat. – This one’s orange, I see it now. Definitely another M&M. – That’s yellow. – Nope. Orange. – [Stevie] That was orange. – You’d think this is scripted, it’s not scripted. We don’t, we don’t script it. – This one’s green. – They are different, but I think it’s the peanut I’m tasting different. But I do think that is yellow. – Um. Green. – [Stevie] It’s green. (laughing) – See I did it on purpose, look at my face. – Yeah Link, you got a superpower. – [Stevie] And let’s go. – This one’s yellow, is this when it falls apart? – You missed one. Orange. – Yellow. – [Stevie] It’s yellow! – Hold on, did he miss none? – Yeah, I can taste colors. (laughing) – [Stevie] Yeah he missed one but – You chucked that out to make it seem like more of a discovery. – You know what, you could’ve took that one out in the original edit that I missed, like you did today and that would have been awesome, but we don’t do that! – We don’t do that. – We don’t lie to you. Sometimes we sell products to you, you know? But we don’t lie to you. – What? What? – You know? We have sponsors, but we don’t lie. It’s like, you gotta know where the line is. – Well, apparently, you’re trying to figure it out. (laughing) – You tell me, where is the line? We do have sponsors. – I don’t, I don’t relate having sponsors and lying, it’s funny how that you’ve got a Venn diagram in your mind, it’s like, I might have to lie about this. – No here it is, here it is, it’s a continuum of things that we are willing to do, like we won’t lie to you. – Taste things. – Lying to you is over here, we won’t do it, over here somewhere is sponsorships, let’s just go through some other things, just throw ’em out, and I’ll tell you where they are. Like this side of the mic we won’t do it, this side of the mic, we will do it, like sponsorships, we’ll do that. – Hurt somebody. – You know we’ll do that. Hurt somebody! We’ll do that. – Yeah, right, for fun. – Especially if it’s each other, yeah, we’ll definitely do that. Uh, eat something that you shouldn’t eat because it’s not edible, it’s not food. – We used to try to do that. – We thought, but no, this year we learned, yeah, actually, we don’t do that. – You know what we should do and we do do? (chuckling) – You know, ever since Thanksgiving, I’ve been do doing twice a day. – Oh, good for you. – No. – That’s what you should do. – No, I wanna do do once a day. – You should do do twice a day. – You do do twice a day? – Yeah, if you do do once a day, you’re stopped up. – How close together are your do do’s? – It depends on how fast I run. (chuckles) That was a joke about me taking two dukies at the same time, and if I run really fast, they’re further apart, that’s a deep joke. – That’s more confusing than my spectrum thing. – We’ve got a podcast that’s called Ear Biscuits, this week – We will promote our own stuff, that’s over here, or over here, I can’t remember. – We’re doing top 5 on GMM, we did top 10 moments of our personal lives over on Ear Biscuits, so you should go check that out, that’s what you should do. – Podcasts, wherever podcasts are podcasted. Let’s watch the next one. – [Stevie] In our number 3 clip, Link takes the first ever putt in the new Pickett Putt series, and surprises everyone, including himself, by nailing a hole in one. – A lot of these are me. – Yeah, we’ve discovered a lot about you. – [Stevie] When 711 first started selling Slurpees, they were originally called what? Slushies, icees, or frostees? – Slurpee is close to slushy, so I ain’t going through that little hole there, I’m gonna back around this puppy. Do it man, good idea. Okay, here we go. – Oh boy. – Ohhhh! What! (yelling) – What a start man, you started so strong. (yelling) At first, I was like, there’s no way that’s staying on the course. If it hadn’t have gone in, it would have never stayed on the course. Oh my goodness, have we found a new game for you? Turns out. – Well, let’s not say that. I was doing practices before this started, and I only sunk one out of like twenty. I was doing practices. Stevie, please tell me this is slushies. After all that celebration. – [Stevie] Before Bob Stanford, a 7/11 ad agency director, coined the term Slurpee, which describes the sound you make while sipping the iconic 7/11 drink through a straw, Slurpees were originally called Icees. – Ohhh! No! We both get two building points. – [Stevie] That means Rhett you get 4 strokes for this round, and Link, you get three. – Kind of takes the edge off the celebration. – Little bit. When a guy says, I did practices, like, if you’re, if you’re going out for the team, and then, the coaches asking the guy the question and he’s like, listen have you been preparing for this, well I did practices, I been doing the practices, you probably shouldn’t put him on the team. – I haven’t been on a lot of teams. (laughing) – Hey, that was pretty awesome. – What did you discover? – Discovered that you got a hole in one the very first time, and neither of us have ever gotten a hole in one. I’ve never gotten any, and you haven’t gotten any since. Right? This is the very first time. – We made the course, I remember when, I’m looking over there because that’s where we did it. When we were finished, or even before we were done with the episode, we were talking just amongst the two of us, about how, yeah, about how it could be made crazier, and like, just get dumb with it. – And then it got a little, it’s gotten, maybe a little too crazy. – But, I mean, we figure when they’re setting up new holes and like, we’re talking, we’re still, I guess we’re still mic’d. – We’re practices. – Yeah, so, the, you guys are hearing our, our conversation and I think the wheels were already in motion, that’s the, that’s the dedication of this Mythical crew. We just say something under our breath, and then they’re like, yeah let’s do it. – I’m taking two poops a day now, and then they’re like, oh we gotta do something about that. – What do you guys hear that we don’t, we forget that you’re hearing. – Don’t answer that question. – [Stevie] Coming in at number 2, Link learns his lesson the hard way, after Rhett warns him not to get too close to his soup. – I don’t just eat it straight, I dip things in it. I dip grilled cheese, I dip saltine crackers, I dip my fingers. I’ll dip someone else’s fingers they get too close. (glass clinking) (laughing) – Look how hard you pushed my hand. It wasn’t just my finger. – I didn’t mean to get that much sauce. Now, I was just operating on instinct. You gotta understand, I won’t even remember that in five minutes. – [Stevie] Everybody else will. – I’ve definitely learned my lesson. I learned something. – Yeah, I totally forgot about that. – If you look at the moment, the moment you realized – I thought you would resist. – There was like this realization where you were like, oh, I know what I’m about to do, and you’re like, you had this excited shake about you. And then you grabbed my hand, and that was shaking because you were like- – I thought you were gonna resist. – I did resist! – No, well you didn’t resist enough ’cause I thought I was gonna have to fight you and just get your finger in, but you kinda went a little limp, and it just went whole hand in. And I was like, I still gotta lick it. – It wasn’t whole hand, it was just this part. – It was a lot more hand than I wanted. I just wanted a little dip, I didn’t want a full soak. – How did it taste? – Like tomato soup, which I like. I didn’t taste your finger at all. – You didn’t taste my finger? – You know, it’s like a double dip, they say that the science of double dipping is that when people double dip, it actually is not a problem because they end up taking the thing that they double dipped and it covers itself, so technically, all I got was tomato soup, no finger. – Here we are, on the precipice of the greatest discovery on the Good Mythical Morning show. – Of 2020? -In 2020. – Wow. – We’re about to find out the thing that everyone thinks is the greatest discovery. – Would this qualify for a Nobel Prize? Let’s find out. – [Stevie] And finally, our number 1 clip, the most unexpected discovery of 2020. Before killing her with a guillotine, Rhett and Link gave Furby the ride of her life in a paint shaker, and to everyone’s surprise, Furby wanted more. – Yes, it’s so cute. Yeah, until you form a relationship with it. And this is episode 1-6-6-6. All right, here we go. Furby just went to sleep! – All right, well wake it up. – Wake up Furby! (shaking) I think that Furby is sleeping, through this entire experience. – Completely intact though. Okay, let it out. – All right, you feeling any remorse at this point? – Well I’m gonna find out how it feels. – I think it was crying. Let’s let him out! I feel guilty! – Pop the top. (indiscernible Furby noises) – Give me more, give me more! (laughing) – Give me more. ♪ You don’t have to ask us twice. ♪ – Hey, Rhett, that’s a good move man. More! I don’t feel bad at all now! – I think that’s kind of amazing actually. (shaking) (Furby noises) – Guys, we’ve made a Furby speechless. – I mean, you asked for more. – Hey, we succeeded. This is what- (Furby noise) – Ahhhhh! (laughing) She loves it! Almost as resilient as a Barbie arm. – Give me more! – Isn’t that sweet. – Do you hate- do you like ’em or hate ’em now? – I kinda like ’em, I mean, the Furby really wins you over, and then we did kill it with the guillotine. We got another gift from a certain department of Mythical Crew. – [Stevie] Link, can I give you a gift? I wanna, I wanna give you fifteen points because, you know I think it’s, we’re going into a new year, I think we should just, we should squash that, I think it’s just a fifteen points. – You got your points back. Does that mean he wins that game? – Oh wow, thank you Stevie. – [Stevie] No, I mean, but he gets fifteen points. – Wow guys, what about the holiday spirit, what about it? I didn’t know it was still between us honestly but, yeah it seems like you’ve finally let go and I thank you. – You don’t have to put Rhett 0 up there, I mean you could’ve just put Link 15. You didn’t have to put Rhett 0, they put the score up as Rhett 0 Link 15. – I actually think I had a point so. – It was you 14, you had negative 14, yeah. – Yeah so I guess I’m at 16. – But, well I don’t know how the math works. This is from the Art Team. – Thank you Stevie, bury the hatchet. – The Inventioneers, we don’t want to be called the Constructioneers anymore, thank you. Well this isn’t about, this isn’t request time. We’ll talk about that at different time. Oh, what do you think it is? – A Furby. Ohh, the Furby’s back y’all. (Furby snoring) Been sleeping for a long time. Wake up! – Had dream about you and I. – I had a dream about you and I. – I love ground. – I love ground? (Furby noises) – Shake him like a- yeah. – So warm. – ‘Cause we have learned that he loves that. (Furby farting) Exactly. (Furby noises) Okay, okay, that’s enough of that. – I don’t know what you- (crash) – What are we doing tomorrow? – I don’t know what you do, uh, we’re gonna talk about the top 5 biggest tantrums of the year. We don’t get mad on this show, that doesn’t happen, so it’ll probably just be nothin’ will be there. – And now you say – No we don’t say that, yeah. (Furby noise) – [Link] Only a few days left to get the Rhett and Link bobble heads, join the third degree quarterly or annual plan of the Mythical Society by December 31st to get ’em.
