(rooster crows) (roaring) – Welcome to Good Mythical More. – Does the wheel scare you? – Hanging out with the dogs. – Oh, this is gonna be complicated, Two Man Wave. – Gonna be a four man. Did you get Barbara to do it? Get Barbara to do it. – Here it comes, Link, here it comes. Here it comes. (Barbara barks) Oh! (crew laughs) It’s coming back around, it’s coming back around, but it’s coming from your side. – Oh, yeah it is. (crew laughs) (Barbara barks) – (barks) Barbara, you’re doing such a good job. – She barks every time, do it again. – Every time the wave comes. – Does she bark? – Okay, here we go, here it comes again. (Barbara barks) That’s too early. – Here it comes, here it comes, now. – Woo! (Barbara barks) (laughing) Barbara, you’re so talented. – [Link] It’s like she’s trying. Well, you know Jade’s talented, too. (barks) – Yeah, just get her to do something. – She can sit in my lap, for like a long time. – Okay, I’m gonna hand Barbara off for a little bit because we’re gonna make something very special for you. You’re gonna love it. – We’re gonna make you guys some treats. Look at that. – Getting too restless. We’re making hotdogs for dogs. – So. Oh yeah, you like the idea of doing that? – You can let them run around if you want. Okay. – All right, so we’ll make the dogs and then we’ll feed it to the dogs. So we’re gonna start, oh okay, we’ve got Wilderness Blend. This is all, this is bonafide dog food cheese. It’s not just Cheez Whiz, this is stuff that you put in one of those Kong toys, so that they go nuts over it. – This is venison holiday stew. I might have to steal a little bit of that for myself. – Now, as we make this, I just wanna say, Chris Sullivan was a great guest, man. – What a guy, what a guy. – So cool to meet him, he was like, I love it when a guest comes in and they fully commit to being on the show and like, you know, it’s like hey, we’re gonna, you’re gonna pour hot wax on us, then you’re gonna sniff it and like– – He was ready, man, it was like he’d been waiting for that all his life. – He was hilarious, wasn’t he? And then, ooh, this is a chewy chewy, put that in there. And of course, he, he was Taserface in Guardians of the Galaxy 2, one of my favorite Marvel movies. But, Rhett, I want you, I just think this is the best opportunity for them, for you to tell them your Taserface story. I mean, because, it’s pretty crazy, and I’ve just been thinking about are the mythical beasts ever gonna hear it? I think this is a good opportunity. You made a decision not to say anything to Chris, and I agreed that that would be weird. – I’m glad you didn’t bring it up. – Yeah, I didn’t want to bring it up with him, but I want you to tell the story of how there was an actual possibility that Rhett could have been Taserface, seriously. – Want me to tell the story? – There were discussions, tell it. – Okay. – I’m gonna put this on there. – So, we got a call through one of our representatives and uh, look at Barbara, she’s read for this, man. And they said that the casting director of, Marvel’s casting director is a fan of you guys, and she would really like you to read for a part in the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy 2 movie. Now typically, we don’t do this. Typically we don’t, we don’t go on auditions, we don’t do things separately from each other, we’re very, very busier than we could possibly ever be, just doing the things that we do together, and these things can be a distraction from the stuff that we’re doing as a duo. So, we typically just don’t do that, but it was like, okay, this is, this is a really cool thing. I could at least go to the audition, if not just to learn what it’s like to go to a real audition, something that we’ve never done before. – We had to have a discussion, right? Because it was like, you know, I was like, well, who do they want me to be? But it, you know, you can’t think like that, but in terms of the things that we’re gonna commit to– – [Rhett] Look at Barbara, look at her. – She’s grabbing, hold on, we didn’t put an actual hotdog, just give her a hotdog, give her that. – I wanna give her the whole thing. I want to tell the story, here, I’ll give her a little bite. Here, you can come. – She’ll just, just hold her. – I don’t want her to eat the whole thing because, you know, it can mess them up when they’ve not been getting new food. – Or they’re not used to it, yeah, I’m gonna give her a little bit more and then. – Okay, I’ll hold her over her. – So, I was like, I don’t know what this would mean in terms of like, the projects that we’re gonna work on and how much time commitment it is, but I’ve just so, I didn’t want to be the one to say “hey, no–” – Jade is dainty, it’s amazing. If I put Barbara up here, you have no idea how quickly this hotdog would be eaten, and Jade is like licking. – Put her up here, let’s see. Oh, she just dropped a piece. There’s more up here. – Come show them how a dog’s supposed to behave. (crew laughs) – Now I don’t let Jade eat off the table or eat food from the table, so he’s kinda freaking out right now, she’s like, when am I gonna get in trouble for this? – Oh look, she’s going straight for, no no, don’t go for the tray, this is your thing right here. – So anyway, I was like, you gotta go for it just to see what it would be like. You can’t say “no” before you even know if there’s an opportunity. – You can’t have a hotdog. – And then there’s a decision later. – Okay, she just wants a hotdog. She just wants a hotdog. Okay, there we go, eat the whole thing, there you go. – So you went in for an audition, or what did they do? They emailed you sides, right? – They emailed me sides and of course it was– – So that is a segment of the actual script. – They didn’t email me sides, they sent me an email that had a password to go in and look at sides that have stuff written all over them because this is like spoiler, big time spoiler stuff, right? So I knew like, I knew all that was gonna happen to Taserface by just reading these sides, and so– – It was three pages or four pages of the script and there was stuff marked out, like redacted. – Yeah, and it was the scene where the raccoon– – Rocket. – Rocket is just being a jerk to him, making fun of his name. – Right. – And they don’t give you any information, it was just, it was written like the guy was either a redneck, or like a pirate. Like the way, his grammar was very incorrect and stuff, and so I just, I like, I’m gonna go in, I’m gonna do my best to do this. – It literally said in the script that there was a point where he was like spitting. – Oh yeah. – Out of his mouth, like he got so worked up, it says in the script, that spit’s flying out of his mouth, and then when I watched the scene in the movie, spit was flying out of his mouth, and I was like whoa, I had the scoop on this. – So I go in, well first of all, I talked to my wife about it and I like worked, I this redneck character, because I knew that he was like a, he was on the same team with Merle, who play, we call him Merle because he’s from The Walking Dead, but, Michael what’s his name, and um. And so I was like, I can kind of do that thing, but then I also had this cockney pirate thing and they were both very intense and I was doing it for my wife, and then I called up our friend Tony, who’s a legitimate, like Emmy award winning actor and I was like, “I’ve never been to an audition before.” Just, you know, and I like read it to him over the phone and he gave me a couple pointers or whatever. So then I go into the audition and again, this is, we’ve been in this business for a long time, but because we just do things that we do, we don’t, like the traditional way that Hollywood works is just something that we just don’t have any appreciation for. – But it’s interesting because any actor that would go in for that audition would probably be nervous about it, I mean, that’s, that’s a big part, in a freakin’, the biggest Marvel movie that would come out in that time period. – And I had no idea what to expect, but it was the casting director in a room, very small room, with like one assistant and uh, I walked in there and she was like “you got any questions?” I was like, “no,” and uh, she was like “okay, go for it.” So then, the dude in the chair is playing the raccoon. – [Link] Rocket. You’ve seen the movies. – Yeah, I like to call him The Raccoon, and I went into it, and I went in hard. I chose the pirate character, I spit all over this dude. – You spit all over him? – Yeah, I got up in his face, I really really went for it. And I was like, I had no idea how this went, and then she was like “wow, this is your first audition?” I was like, she’s just BSing me, she’s just saying this because she, because her kids are fans, that’s how we got, that’s how I got into this room. And she was like “you wanna do it one more time?” I was like “okay sure,” I did it, and I went even bigger, and she was like “okay thanks.” And so then– – And then you left and I went in. – Yeah. – For the Rocket part. – So, but what we did say– – Because they thought about replacing what’s his name. – But what we did say is, I said I don’t want to do this if we can’t make it a Rhett and Link thing. – You made it complicated. – Well, so anyway, so my manager calls us back like two days later and he’s like, James Gunn is the director, right? – Yeah. – He’s like “James Gunn loves you.” And I was like “oh crap.” (laughs) And I was like “this could be a problem.” Give her some more food. – But there was a call back. – Just part of a hotdog. No, there wasn’t a call back. – You want some of that? – And they said “but you would have to shoot in Atlanta for four months.” – Well, and let’s clarify, you weren’t offered the part. – No, but specifically what I was told, and this is the strange thing, and I’m not gonna say who it was, they were like, they’ve narrowed it down to you and two other people. Interestingly, they didn’t mention Chris at the time. And so, but I knew the other two actors, and uh, but then I was like, “there’s no way we can do this.” It’s gonna be four months in Atlanta. We talked about how, is there some way that like Link could, we could do this together, and they were like, as soon as we threw any sort of wrench into it, they were like “guys, “we can’t accommodate this,” which we totally understood. – I’m the reason that you weren’t in the– – No, but that doesn’t mean that I would have gotten the part, it just means that there was a legitimate chance that I could have gotten the part if we had said that I was actually available to do it. But yeah, I’m not gonna say that to, first of all, because I have no idea what the reality of it was, and he did an incredible job. – How do you feel about the fact that he did it and you didn’t? – I mean, I think I would have been a little bit better. No, of course I wouldn’t. – No, judging by even getting to know him here and like how great of a sport he was, I’m super glad that he got it. Not just so that we can continue to do other things. – And I would have never told that story, other than the fact that we had Taserface himself on the show. So, there you go.
