(rooster crowing) (monster roaring) (wheel clicking) – Welcome to Good Mythical More. We’re celebrating 1700 more. Episodes. – But first, we’re trying to guess the definition to the word, “Snickersnee.” – “Snickersnee”? – Snickersnee. – Snickers knee, That’s when you fall knee-first into a candy bar! – Yeah, it– – Doesn’t have to be a Snickers, though. – Right, it’s like when you use the word “Coke” to refer to any soft drink. – Right. – This is like, when– – When your knee goes into any candy bar. – Well, this is when you go underneath the bleachers, at like, a high school football game, (chuckles) I’ve never done that. And you get down there, and you’re on your knee, because you’re thinking, “Maybe I’m gonna propose,” (laughs) and it accidentally goes into a Snickers bar. Not that that ever happened to me. – Or any candy bar. – I never almost proposed to someone underneath you know, the bleachers, and got my knee in a Snickers. That never happened to me. – It’s actually a knife, usually used as a weapon. – A snickersnee. – (clears throat) Hey, guys. We have some notes from many of you. I don’t know what they say, because we haven’t read ’em, but I’m told that it is in some way a celebration of this show. The fact that we’ve done 1700. Can we just take one second? – Let’s just take, let’s take 17 seconds. – Let’s take 1700 seconds! (crew member chuckles) And think about, that was it, that’s good enough. – No, 17 seconds is what I’m doin’. – I was gonna do 1700, and then I was like– – That wasn’t as good of a joke. – It’s not worth it. It’s not as good of a joke. I mean, that’s a lot of episodes! – Okay, all right. – Just, you know, sometimes it’s like, “Yeah, we do,” you know, you tell people, we tell people about the show, like, “Yeah, we do this show, blah blah blah.” There’s 1700 episodes! (Rhett imitates Link mumbling) Like, what? 1700 anything! – How? Why? (chuckles) – Nobody’s ever, nobody’s got business doin’ stuff like that. – Why, guys? – Nobody in their right mind! Only because of you, and your dedication. Thank you. You wanna read this first letter? – Yeah! – Letter number one. We’re reading 17 notes. This is the first one. – This one is from Arsha Bawa. “Hi, for starters, congrats on this amazing milestone! “GMM has been a big part of my life since I was a kid, “and I’m so happy about that. “You guys are simply amazing, “and inspire many people like myself “to live a Mythical life. “It was you who helped me out of the darkest times, “and you’ve been here to celebrate “my accomplishments with me, too. “Not to forget, y’all built “one of the best communities ever, “and thank you so much for everything. “Much love, Arsha. “PS, Rhett, you look amazing with that hair and beard.” – You know, thanks for that note. That’s super sweet. – I didn’t add that, that was there. – And you know, we didn’t build the community, exactly. Yeah, I mean, it started with our videos, but the community builds the community. – The community built itself! It’s a self-building community. – I mean, you support each other, you encourage each other, it’s pretty awesome. – [Stevie] Can I also say that Rhett’s hair and beard looks really good in the vlogs that we post on Saturdays, on the Rhett and Link channel. – Oh, I just thought that you were just adding another compliment! (Stevie laughing) – That’s right, we do– – I was actually coming into the light, to get into position, to hear it from you. – We dropped a new vlog last Saturday, didn’t we, Stevie? – [Stevie] Yeah, you did. – Yeah, on the Rhett and Link channel. Didn’t we? – Yeah, we did, two-man vlog. – But you already knew that. Apurva Hire noted us. “My brother introduced me to GMM “by showing me the ‘Neverwed’ episode.” Classic. Classic thumbnail. “I remember thinking to myself, “‘These guys are weirdos,’ and went back “and watched the prior seasons. “That was almost six years ago. “Since then, I’ve completed my bachelor’s and master’s, “and now am pursuing my Ph.D.” You go! “I’ve laughed out loud on so many occasions “while watching these guys’ shenanigans, “cried through the entirety of the 1000th episode, “and experienced sympathetic gag reflex “every time Link barfs.” Sorry. “Wishing these two best friends “all the happiness in the world, that’s all. “Also, this goes without saying, “but your crew is awesome.” (clicks tongue) That’s right! (Rhett clapping) “Congratulations to Rhett and Link, “and the entire crew for 1700 episodes! “Hugs and love all the way from India.” Apurva, thank you. And it doesn’t go without saying. That this, the crew is amazing, we couldn’t do it without you guys, thank you. Thank you, crew! – So thanks for saying it! – You’re like family, we’ve said it. – [Stevie] Link, I was also, I wanted to tell you how good you look today, specifically, but mostly just the T-shirt that you’re wearing. Did you know that if you’re not you, and you’re anyone else watching this, you can get that T-shirt for 17 hours only– – If it’s the day that this video came out. – At Mythical.com. – Yeah. – But you gotta be, you gotta– – Jump on it. Pause the video, be over there– – [Stevie] And I don’t mean to not be sincere. ‘Cause this is very sincere. I sincerely want you to go to Mythical.com, and get the T-shirt. – You sound sincere. – I was just gonna say– – Okay, thank you. – You sincerely think I look good in the T-shirt! – Yeah. – Yeah! – Whatever. – This one’s from Bethany Glazier. – This is number three. – “Greetings, y’all. “I have watched the two of you, “and the rest of the GMM fam, since I was in middle school! “Wow, it is crazy to believe, because I am in college now. “From the wacky challenges, to” people are continuing their education! Higher education, even. – They’re not abandoning us when they get smarter. – Right. (crew laughing) “To introducing highly admirable guests to the set, “y’all kept the YouTube platform a safe haven. “You guys gave a place where many of us “could procrastinate on cramming for exams.” Okay, that’s a little bit different, now. “Or finally get to see what would happen to a random item “if it sat in various liquids for a long time.” – Mm-hmm. – Yes. “Really getting to the bottom “of all the mysterious elephants in the room! “So thank you for doing that, “thank you for doing what y’all do best “and making irreplaceable content. “Keep spinning the wheel of Mythicality. “Sincerely, that girl, Bethany Glazier, from Alabama.” – Thank you, Bethany. Number four comes from Nicki Spence. “Dear Good Mythical Morning, “I’ve been a fan for years, and wanted to send you “a short message to tell you how much “I’ve appreciated and love your show. “I actually ended up purchasing “the vacuum from one of your videos, “because who could really pass up a vacuum “that could suck up a sand castle?” – That’s what I said! (crew person laughs) – “On a more personal note, when my daughter was born, “she had terrible acid reflux and colic. “GMM helped me a lot during that difficult time. “I would often put on your show in the background “to keep me sane throughout the day. “Once she got over the colic, “she has been one of the happiest babies I have ever seen, “but the first few months were definitely rough. “Thanks for helping me through it, “and please pass along my gratitude to the crew. “Here’s a photo of baby Lily. “Thanks again, Nicki Spence.” – Look how cute and– – That’s a post-colic baby! – Un-colicky! (crew laughs) Thank you, Nicky! – That’s what you see in the dictionary next to “post-colic baby.” Number five, from Kellan Constantine. “Watched you guys from the TurboTax days.” Wow. – Way back. – “The collaboration with MysteryGuitarMan “was one of my favorite things when I was growing up, “and strongly influenced my taste of art, “and willingness to try new things. “Thank you guys for being so consistent, “and evolving while still staying true “to where you started.” – Consistent, yet evolving. – “Stay cool, Kellan.” – Thank you, Kellan! – You too, Kellan! Constantine. – Number six comes from Wendy. And they’re in no particular, we’re not ranking these, (crew laughing) (laughs) it’s just, I’m just counting ’em, ’cause we’re doing 17. The sixth worst note we got, no. This is good, Wendy. I hope, I haven’t read it. “The last 1700 episodes have been amazing. “Link’s retching always makes me laugh, “and Rhett always winning everything is so funny.” – That’s not, not always. – “Me and my kids always sit together “to watch you while having our dinner.” Eh. “In my eyes, there hasn’t been one bad episode.” We could, that’s, well, you know what, you could– – There have been. – You could tighten up a little bit. – There have been, there have been, at least a couple. – “We could happily stick any episode on, “and know we would laugh. “Here’s to another 1700 episodes. “All our love, Wendy, Brandon, and Faith, “English Mythical Beasts from Newcastle upon Tyne.” – I’ve been to Newcastle upon Tyne! I made a stop in there, or, there, (chuckles) (crew laughing) this summer! Number seven, from Steve. Just Steve. “You both have my respect.” – Finally. – That’s it. (crew laughing) No, just kidding. “For how you’ve created a welcoming, open experience “for fans of all ages, faiths and nationalities.” – Oh! – “Your honesty and integrity is to be admired. “Thank you.” Thank you, Steve! Now, Stevie, this wasn’t you, right? – Don’t admire us, just buy our merch. – No, that one wasn’t me. – ‘Cause sometimes– – That number is number four, or number six. – Some days, like once a month she’ll just be like “Today, just call me Steve.” (crew laughing) – I’m really– – I’m like, “Okay!” – I’m feeling like a sugar crash! – Whoo, yeah, I’m comin’ down, hard. – I got a glow– – I been fightin’ it for the past four minutes. (crew chuckling) – [Stevie] We have more ice cream! – Good! – Erica Darnell. “Dear Rhett and Link, why did I not hear o’ y’all “until August of last year?” – I don’t know. – Double question marks. “I hate that I discovered you so late, “but I love that you’ve found 1700 ways to make my day. “My family and I enjoy not only ‘Good Mythical Morning,’ “but also ‘Good Mythical More,’ “all your music videos, as well as the dozens “of crazy sketches you’ve put out over the years. “I recently saw a clip from an episode about “overcoming one’s fear of spiders, “and I literally laughed so hard I peed.” – Good. – Ha, hope it hit a spider. (crew laughs) “So congratulations on that one. “It doesn’t happen often.” Oh, good. “Anyway, many, many thanks to Rhett and Link “and all the Mythical crew, “who work so hard to make it all possible. “With heartfelt appreciation, Erica Darnell.” Thank you, Erica. – And a little bit o’ pee. (Link clears throat) And number nine, from Julia Okonska. “As a man with glasses once wrote “in a birthday message to his very tall “and bearded best friend, “‘There’s a lot of me I couldn’t be without you.’” Mm, mm, mm. “That’s how I feel about GMM and everything you guys create. “So grateful for you guys. “Julia O, from Poland!” – Julia O! – Poland! – Okay!

It means a lot to know that our, that we, all of us, and what we create means so much to so many of you. (sniffs) And, also, that you mean so much to each other. Whether it’s on the Discord, on The Mythical Society, or on Reddit, or on Twitter, or on Instagram, or wherever you, everywhere that you guys are talkin’ to each other, it’s just pervaded by positivity and encouragement, so– – Yes, thank you, Skylar. And thank you for that art. This one is number 11, from Amelia Clonn. This email had no subject and no text. Only this photo of isopods, surrounding a bag of Doritos. – That– (crew laughing) There’s a universe, somewhere, where that is our show, and those are the hosts. (crew laughing) – Well, that’s a killer thumbnail. (all laughing) So, uh, they’re doin’– – Yeah, like, can we use that as the thumbnail for this video? – They’re doin’ something right. Doin’ somethin’ right. – Zach, you cool with that? – Yeah, sure! – Like maybe put our heads over it, like, making a face like (garbles). – You know what, just take it under advisement. (Link clears throat) Don’t take it as a mandate. – Number 12, from Sage Hailey. “Hello, Rhett and Link. “First, I wanna congratulate you “on 1700 episodes of ‘Good Mythical Morning.’ “It is truly amazing how, for so many years, “you have managed to keep the show,” I’m like, gettin’ emotional, I can’t read this anymore. (Rhett laughs) (chuckles) I just feel like, like I’m gonna cry. – Is it the ice cream, or the notes? – I, no, I think it– (chuckles) – Is it the peanut butter? The caramel? – See if you can make it. – “Firstly, I wanna”– – I mean it– – “Congratulate you on 1700 episodes “of ‘Good Mythical Morning.’ “It is truly amazing how for so many years, you have managed “to keep this show going strong, and still continue “to bring in new and exciting ideas each season. “These 1700 episodes of GMM have inspired me “to reach out to other Mythical Beasts online, “and become part of this amazing community of fans. “As a matter of fact, they have also inspired me “to create my own YouTube content! “Here’s to at least another 1700 episodes. “Hopefully you don’t stop until you’ve reached 2,000, “or 5,000, or even 10,000!” Somebody do the math on how old we would be at 10,000 episodes. (Link sniffles) “Maybe TikTok will have finally crumbled by that point, “either way, keep being your Mythical best. “Love you lots, Sage.” – Okay, lemme try again. Amanda, number 13. “I’ve been watching GMM since nearly the beginning, “season two, haha. “You guys have always been a constant “in my forever-changing world. “You two were the highs in my hundreds of lows, “and I cannot imagine how to thank you two. “I don’t know where I’d be without you two. “I certainly would not be my Mythical best. “And I definitely would not have the love “for beans and peanut butter that I have today.” – You’re welcome. – “I would never imagine that two strange dudes “making even stranger videos on the internet “would be the two biggest role models that I have.” (chuckles) “Thank you for everything you’ve done.” Thanks, Amanda. – Number 14.

(crew laughing) “And I remembered I had friends “who loved y’all when I was in high school, “so I figured I’d give it a chance. “Glad I did! “Y’all reminded me that having fun “is so important to enjoying this life. “Since watching, I’ve never missed an episode of GMM. “I’ve gone back to watch some older episodes “that interest me, and listen to ‘Ear Biscuits.’ “I also have a signed copy “of ‘The Lost Causes of Bleak Creek!’ “Thanks so much for what y’all do, “I have loved your recent ‘Ear Biscuits.’ “Keep searching, fellas. “Blake Brockman.” – Thank you, Blake. – Black Brockman, you should be a news anchor, if nothing else.

Odeler, toad odeler! – “Toad odeler.” – Let me try again. “Today is the day you become yet another toad older. “What laughs and cries we’ve had. “I can’t start at how much gold ethical valley means to me. “It’s really turned my climbing heart upside down. “The sun is rising on the east side. “When is the day gonna come back? “I don’t know. “Sincerely, the child of Toe and Tinkus.” – I think this maybe was dictated. (crew laughing) – Is it auto-corrected? – With like, a … Like, an off-brand phone. (crew laughing) – What if this is the one that we got really emotional about? – Like it was dictated to like, a Moto razr. – (whimpers) Oh, we “turned the climbing heart upside down.” Okay. Two more! – From Nicole Dumas. “Since I was in elementary school, “I have watched ‘Good Mythical Morning’ “every weekday to get me out of bed. “Now here I am, a senior in high school, “still watching this amazing channel. “I love everything about you two, and the Mythical crew. “The amount of laughter and joy “you brought to my mornings is unbelievable. “I have made many friends that are also Mythical Beasts, “and have gained inspiration to make my own videos “ever since I was eight! “I have completed a two-year class in video production, “and I would never have done it without you guys. “You keep me going every day, “and I thank you two so much for all that you’ve created. “Keep being your Mythical best. “Love, Nicole Dumas.” – (clearing throat) And to wrap up our celebration of 17 notes, and thank you for all the notes that were sent in, sorry we can’t read them all on the show, but we will tattoo them all on our bodies. – Well, at least on one person’s body. – Leah Bostwick wraps things up for us today. “Hello, Mythical team. “It all started six years ago, when my youngest brother showed my whole family “this YouTube video of two guys eating super weird tacos. “I immediately thought, ‘Wow, “‘this is so dumb, who watches this?’” – Exactly. – “‘Those tacos look disgusting.’ “But who woulda thought “that watching these two southern boys “would forever make such an immense impact on my life? “What turned into watching a few videos a week with my siblings, turned into a daily routine, “which turned into so much more. “I just wanna personally thank Rhett and Link “for teaching me how being my Mythical best “can influence so much positivity and creativity “in every facet of my life. “I lurve y’all, and everything that you do. “Sincerely, Leah.” We met Leah. Yeah, she put a picture! – [Rhett] Yes. – She did not write “lurve” on her hand, she got it permanently tattooed on her fingers– – Yes. In exactly the same form– – In solidarity with me. – That you did on LTAT! Look at that. – Maybe I’ll get it, Leah. – Yours has since washed away. – Yeah. – Thank you for all the notes. – Fist bump, though? – We took 18 minutes, and a little bit more, to get through that. I was really shootin’ for 17, ’cause it woulda been perfect. – (sucks air) Oh! (snaps) – 17 notes, 17 minutes. But, you know what, I mean, with 18 minutes, maybe we snuck another ad in there! (chuckles) (crew laughing) – Yeah lets end with that money-grabbin’ sentiment. (all laughing) (screaming) Was that, was that? – [Rhett] That was very convincing. – [Link] Was it convincing? – [Rhett] It looked like it was pulling you. (Link pants)
