GMMore 1744: We Earn A Girl Scout Badge

(rooster crows) (tiger growls) (large drum thuds) – Whoop! – Okay, Rhett, you called heads. If you’re right then I have to wear a necktie in a creative way. (Matt chuckles) if not you have to– – That sounds like like fun. (Link laughs) – Welcome to Good Mythical More, where we have lots of fun and we’re hopped up on Girl Scout cookies! – Okay, here we go. (tongue click) It’s heads! Ha ha ha! – All right, that’s fine. – Whoo! – You know what, I got my… – Whoo! – Matt Carney’s also in the mix today, – Hello! – You’re gonna tell us how to earn this Girl Scout badge. – It’s the Junior Girl Scout Way badge. I was a Cub Scout, so I’m qualified, but it was supposed to be Kevin in here who was actually an Eagle Scout, which is much more impressive than a Cub Scout. At the last minute, construction showed up outside of his house, so as his understudy, I’m gonna earn this on his behalf. – Well, here’s the thing, I already have it, so I mean… – That’s not the Girl Scout Way if you’re just gonna– – Uh-oh! There you go, okay. All right, what do we do? – In order to earn this badge, you must find out about Girl Scout traditions and share activities and spirit that are a century strong. When you’ve earned this badge, you’ll know how to use the Girl Scout ways and traditions to make the world a better place. How’s that sound? – It sounds incredible. – How does this look, first of all? Does this look like I’m scoutish? – Look, the tie that I was going to put on my head if I lost is very similar. Man! – Your ties are not pre-tied. Once I tie a tie, man, and I finally get it right where it goes over my belt buckle but doesn’t go down over my (babbles) then I gotta keep it in that fashion. – Oh, okay. Do you know why I’m not able to do that? – Why are you not able to do that? – Because I don’t buy extra long ties, I just buy regular ties, and in order for me to have a tie tied at the right length, you see how little tie you’ve got left there, Link, the short part of the tie, only a couple inches there? – Yeah. – I can’t do that. There’s not enough tie left for me to have a pre-tied tie. – See, when you do this, this is if you have a toothache and you wanna put some ice down here. Carney, what do we do first? – Who taught you how to tie a tie? I was never taught how to tie a tie. – Yeah, no one taught me. I don’t do it right. Link has a good tie tying technique. – I don’t remember how I learned how to tie a tie. I think it was a group of Girl Scouts. (Rhett laughs) (Matt laughs) – Perfect. Well, then you’ll be great at this. The first step to earn your Junior Girl Scout Way badge is we need to make up a song to share a message that is important to us, and I figured, not because it was easier, but because I believe in teamwork, we would think of a message that was important to us together. What’s a message that we all feel strongly about? – Hmm, always pre-tie your ties? – You don’t have to change your pants, but you do need to change your underwear. – Yeah. We should make up a song about that. – Well, you don’t have to change your underwear as much these days. I mean, you know. – All right, you can add that. (Rhett laughs) – Would you like a confession about underwear? – Yeah. – We’ve been on this quarantine for some weeks now, and I had a lot of laundry that I was putting off. I started wearing underwear for the first time yesterday. (Rhett laughs) – Today’s day two of that. – You don’t have to wash it all if you don’t wear it, but then you got to wash your pants. You got to wash your pants. Sorry, just telling you that’s just how it works. I’m gonna get in where I fit in, and my message is gonna be simple, but you don’t have to wear underwear as much right now, so just set me up for that. – I’ma take the pants part. Carney you take the underwear part. ♪ You don’t ♪ ♪ Have to wash your pants ♪ ♪ That often. ♪ ♪ But you do ♪ ♪ is it my turn? ♪ – Yes ♪ Yeah, it is ♪ ♪ You do have to wash your underwear ♪ ♪ to keep it clean down there. ♪ – Oh! – Internal rhyme scheme. ♪ But you don’t ♪ ♪ Have to wash your underwear ♪ ♪ As much as you otherwise would. ♪ ♪ You’ll still be good. ♪ – I think that was a good step one to earning our badge – Check! – All right. – All right. – Step two, oh, there’s another song here but it’s easier. It seems kind of self indulgent, but step two is you have to sing Happy Birthday to the Girl Scouts founder, Juliette Low. I think she snuck this one – Hold on, – in there. (laughs) – she’s still around? – I don’t think she is. If she is, she’s an elderly lady. – Well, we got to wait for her birthday? When’s her freaking birthday? – No, you can sing it now. – I wanna take issue with this. I love what the Girl Scouts do, I appreciate them, I really want this badge, not gonna lie, but let me just say that sliding this in is like if some seven year old had come up with the steps for earning a badge, they would be like, “Oh, and you gotta sing me Happy Birthday,” like, oh, come on. (Matt laughs) Gimme a break. I’m going to abstain from this. Hopefully, that’s– – You can’t get the badge, right? You can’t get the badge. (Rhett sighs) But you know what? You don’t have to sing it if you can guess when her birthday is, and I think it is guessable. I just Googled it. – Well, yeah, it’s guessable if it’s a day of the year. (Matt laughs) – You have a one in 365 chance. – Okay, I’m gonna say May– – That’s not what I mean. – May 17th. – Holy crap. – Nope. (Matt laughs) It’s Halloween. – Oh, it’s a holiday! Okay, all right. Let’s just sing the short version of Happy Birthday, the one we do for all the people at Mythical Entertainment. ♪ Happy Birthday to Juliette. ♪ – Who knows if that worked? We’re on a slight delay, and there’s three of us. – I’m glad you went back on your stance. You’re still in the running for the badge. – Step three of five. To earn our badge, we need to share sisterhood. There’s a lot of different ways you can share sisterhood. They have a whole list of different ways you can go about it, but the one I thought would be fun would be to make up a secret handshake between the three of us. It won’t be much of a secret because YouTube, but we will make a handshake that nobody else has. – We can’t even touch. – Yeah, it’s a virtual handshake. – I can’t even see you, Carney. I’m gonna be honest. – I currently can’t see you. You’re just an icon that’s kind of flashing, but as long as they can record you and we can see you– – You’re going to have to describe to us what you’re doing. Why don’t Rhett and I do it, and you just emulate us? – Yeah, you’re the talented ones. You guys do it, I’ll follow along. – All right, I think it’s coming up like you’re gonna give thankfulness, but then you create a book flap breeze in your own face. Then you put the book flap breeze in your girlfriend’s face. Then you go like this. Then you do the double-hand five. – Okay, I think that’s great. I just think there’s gotta be more touchpoints in there. I know we’re not really touching as much since the virus, but I just think that you can’t just do all your own thing. There’s got to be places where you’re patty-caking and you’re fist pumping, at least maybe. You know what, let’s just throw, again this is the future, elbow bumps. If we can just put the in the middle, just a double elbow bump. – Okay, so thankfulness, book-flap yourself, right elbow, left elbow, book-flap your girlfriend, hands back, and then double high five. – Patty-cake. (Rhett claps) You got it, Carney? – I got that. Are we doing it, or was that us doing it? – That was it. – That was us doing it, yeah. – Oh, okay. – I’m getting this badge. – Step four. Leave a place better than you found it. You all must improve the place you’re sitting at by making one adjustment. – Okay. Make one adjustment? – Anything in your surroundings. – But it doesn’t need to be on my person, like my necktie? – No, there’s no improving that. Maybe the plants needs to move an inch to the left or right or something to that effect. – Yeah, I don’t know exactly what can be seen in my shot here. Let me figure that out. Okay, looks like you can see the hand. – That was pretty much where I wanted it. – I’m just gonna turn this hand around. – I think that’s better. – What about this? – I’m going to… Can anything be seen in my stuff here? – All right, I’ve moved my vase. Other people on the internet are calling my vase something else. I also straightened– – I see what they might be calling it. (Matt laughs) – I straightened my picture. – I have my dog, Parker, here. I’m gonna hold him ’cause I think that would be an improvement, Parker, come here, come here, buddy, to my surroundings. This is Parker, oh, you guys can’t see him. – I would say great things about your dog but we currently can’t see him, but as long as the people can see him. – You have a beautiful dog – Thank you. – I think – I’ve met Parker. – You made fun of his underbite once, I think. – Oh. – There it is. (Rhett laughs) – Oh, yeah. – Okay. So we did that. – Our part five… – We did that. – This is it! After we have this, we’ve earned our badge, but real quick, oh, you guy can’t see it, Wait, I have picture here of Kevin as a Boy Scout that he gave me. – Oh no, I see it. I’ve got it on my computer. – Oh, you see it there? – Wow. – Look at him. That little boy grew up to be an Eagle Scout. – Look there! Kevin really grew into his face. (Matt laughs) – So funny. – Man, he’s heavy laden with all of that paraphernalia on his shirt. – Yeah, he knew what he was doing. – Rhett do you remember… Maybe you didn’t do this. Every week, my mom would go to the Belk in Dunn, North Carolina, and she would shop, and that meant I had to walk around the Belk. They had this display case where they had all of these Swatch watches. I would go over, and I would just look at the Swatch watches. I was no older than Kevin when he was getting all his badges. My mom would be in there for like over an hour every week just looking at stuff. Then I would go to this other display case, and in the Belk department store, they had all of this Boy Scout and Cub Scout and Girl Scout badges and books and booklets and sashes and stuff. All of that was in the Belk. Isn’t that weird? – I’ve been to that Belk many times and had never saw this section. – I would just look– – So you could just buy stuff without being a Girl Scout? – Well, you have to buy the stuff, I think. You have to buy the booklets and the guides and things like that. – I think we’ve proven that you can just get one of these shipped to your home. – Yeah, you just go onto the website. They let anybody buy it. – You can go up to the Belk, but you didn’t earn it until we complete this last step, which is… – Well, speaking of buying things, you guys have that record coming out? I was excited about that one. – Oh yeah! – Oh, (laughter) yeah, we do! – Thank you. Yeah, I wanted to remind you guys that you need to join the 3rd Degree of the Mythical Society in the Quarterly or Annual Plan by June 30th in order to get the Rhett and Link On Vacation vinyl. It has “I’m on Vacation,” it has a remix never heard before of “I’m on Vacation,” and it has a brand new song called “Why I Travel.” Yeah, we gotta freaking record coming out on the Mythical Society. Again, if you want that ultra-exclusive collectible item, join 3rd Degree Quarterly or Annual Plan of the Mythical Society by June 30th, MythicalSociety.com – And I’ll add to that that we actually have launched, we’ve already talked about this but just a reminder, the free tier of the Mythical Society is a way to dip your toe in and see what it’s all about. You might want to do that as your first step before you do 3rd Degree, but you gotta do third degree. – It’s kind of our version of Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts. – It is, yeah. – It’s like secret society-esque. You can become an initiate. That’s what Rhett’s referring to. – Exciting, cool. Okay, well we’re about to officially earn these badges. You have to enjoy Girl Scout traditions by completing the Eternal Flame Ceremony. – Hmm! – This is a ceremony where you light a candle one by one, and then once everyone’s candle has been lit, we say the Girl Scout Promise and then the Girl Scout law, then it is done. – Okay, I’ve got a candle. I got it from Lincoln’s room. Lincoln bought this amazing lighter. Look at this thing. It’s got a goose neck on it, and if I turn this on– – Why does your son need a lighter like that? – I don’t know. He bought it to light candles, ’cause he likes to light candles in his room. When I hit the button, look at what it does. It creates an arc. – Arc? Oh my gosh! – You see that? Can you see that? – That’s really cool. – I’m gonna buy one of these right after this. – I know. – What do you call that? Is there a brand on it? Not a sponsor, but I want to know what it is. – Hey, Lincoln – [Lincoln] Yeah? – Come here, bud. Rhett wants to know where you got this thing. Come tell him. – [Lincoln] Amazon. – Come over here. You can make an appearance in Good Mythical More. I’m becoming a freaking Girl Scout. – That’s a cool lighter you got there. – I’ma light your nose. – First of all, why do you need lighters? – I got it off Amazon. It was like seven bucks. – He wants to know why you need this. Here. Take this so you can talk to him. – [Lincoln] I’m doing a quiz, and it’s timed. – Oh, you’re– (Matt wheezes) – It doesn’t matter. This is the Internet, man. It lasts forever. – It’s pretty nasty y’all just shared a earhole. – What’s your timed quiz about? – [Lincoln] Math. – Oh, you’re in the middle of a timed quiz? Well get back to that, son! – Alright, get back to it man. – [Lincoln] Alright, bye guys. – Alright, seven bucks on Amazon. I’m gonna find it. I’ve already lit mine. I don’t have a goose-neck, arcing lighter. I have a regular one, but it worked fine. – It makes it really easy to light a candle. – I just broke a match. My candle’s huge. You guys would be so impressed if you saw it, I think it’s from Urban Outfitters. – I think you might be in jeopardy of getting this badge, Carney. Are you lighting or not? – I can’t light it. Hold on, no, I’m gonna get the badge. – We burn the badge, is that what happens now? – You burn (laughs) the badge is the last step. Okay I get it. Here we go. Do you all have the thing in front you? The Girl Scout Promise that we say together? – Yeah. – No, is that down here? – We’re gonna do our best. Hey listen, when it sounds like you’re not in sync, just keep barrelling through it. – Okay. – Okay. – On my honor– – Three, two, one. On my honor, I will try to serve God and my country, to help people at all times, and to live by the Girl Scout Law. – And to live by the Girl Scout Law. – That probably came out perfect. – Yep. – Finally, last step is the Girl Scout Law, which we– – Let’s read that. – Three, two, one. – I will do my best to be honest and fair, friendly and helpful, considerate and caring, courageous and strong, and responsible for what I say and do, and to respect myself and others, respect authority, use resources wisely, make the world a better place, and be a sister to every Girl Scout. – Sister to every Girl Scout. – Wow, I can’t wait to see how that comes together. – I haven’t earned my badge ’cause I don’t have it, but you guys have earned yours. Congratulations. – No, you earned it. You just don’t have it. – So, Link, now you need to melt the back of the badge and stick it onto somewhere on your face. – Carney, I’m glad that we shared this momentous occasion with you. Thanks for making our dreams come true. – Thank you guys! This is the first time, I think, I’ve been around where you haven’t mentioned hot dogs on a stick. (Rhett laughs) I feel like I’ve graduated to a new level of respect. – [Voiceover] Join the Mythical Society 3rd Degree Quarterly or Annual Plan at mythicalsociety.com to get the Rhett & Link On Vacation vinyl release.
