(rooster crowing) – Welcome to “Good Mythical More”. Hey, do you like to party? Like a animal? Are you a party animal? Well, let’s find out for real by finding out how real animals like to party. – But first, 10 word story. – Lucifer – ate – your – moms – coconuts – and, No. While. – What? – I don’t wanna say and in a 10 word story. While – critiquing – (sighs) your – smelly (chuckles) – Thesis. (both laughing) – Okay! We’re back, man! – Lucifer ate your mom’s coconuts while critiquing your smelly thesis. (both laughing) Smelly. It’s funny. – That Lucifer! – Smelly is the most often used word in Madlibs for the 11 and under crowd. (chuckles) – What are you saying? Come on. – When we used to do Madlibs, it’s like, smelly would be, like, in there four or five times. – Stinky, smelly. – Okay. Now, one of the things that’s gonna be happening as we go through this game where we’re gonna be, We’re seeing if things are actually happening in the wild or not, something like that. – [Stevie] Something like that. Sure. Yeah, Yeah, yeah. – But one of the things that’s gonna be happening as we enjoy our mocktails, because I technically won that game because I got that one round right that you got wrong, – Yeah, yeah. – I’m gonna be mocking you while we enjoy our mocktails. – Okay. – But I have some pre-prepared mocks. – Did you write these? – Mm-mm. (giggles) – So, wait. So, If my feelings are hurt, – It’s the writer’s fault. – Okay. All right. – You want me to hit you with one right now? – No, I’m not quite ready. – All right, Let’s get a question first. – [Stevie] Wallabies. Oh, let me tell you what you’re actually doing. So, I have facts. Some of them are real facts, some of them are things that we made up about animals. – Alternative facts. – Of course. What do you think we were doing? Playing ping pong? – Stevie Animals and the way they like to party. The way they like to loosen up, and you’re determining if they’re real or fake. – I have gone up to a stranger. Where were we? – Where were we? At a party? – I think we were on the Alka Seltzer Great American Road Trip, and we were checking into a hotel and there was a dude there, and I was like, “Hey, you like to party?” (Rhett laughs) And I was literally like, ’cause I wanted to know, – How would people respond to that. – No, I wanted to know if there was a place we could go to hang out that night! Not with him! – [Stevie] You do know that’s not a question to ask if you’re looking for somewhere to go hang out, right? – Well, they told me that afterward. This was 2008. – [Stevie] All right. – You like to party. – I said, “You like to party?” And I think I had heard of the question, and I thought it was a good end to find out where’s the cool place to hang out! – Yeah, I will talk about what it actually means. – [Stevie] Wallabies like to get high in opium fields and then run around making mysterious crop circles just because it feels good. – Wallabies in opium? Now, wallabies are home to Australia, correct? – [Stevie] Australia is home to wallabies, yes. – Australia lives in every wallaby. In the heart of every wallaby, there is an Australia. – That’s exactly what I was getting at. Opium in Australia. That’s the thing that I’m questioning, (chuckles) not the crop circles. – You just can’t have wallabies showing up, just walking through poppy fields. I mean, it doesn’t happen! – You can, but I don’t think it happens. – So I’ll change my answer ’cause I lured you in. – [Stevie] It’s true! – Yes! – [Stevie] Some farmers thought aliens were behind the crop circles, but, in fact, it was just very happy wallabies hopping around in opium fields, making circles, leaving, and then coming back and repeating it, all just for the thrill of it. – Where are these opium fields you speak of? – I don’t understand how they made, like, a respectable, recognizable crop circle. Like, a wallaby is not gonna make a perfect circle, right? You know, Link, the Mythical Society has a secret fourth tier where you have been digitally removed from all of the content. It’s very popular. (crew member laughs) – Oh, speaking of which, if you want to get this collectible “Rhett and Link Through the Snackiverse” lunch box, complete with its own thermos inside, you gotta join the Mythical Society Third Degree quarterly or annual plans by March 31st in order to qualify. Great to go on your shelf or to actually put your lunch in if you wanted to do that. – And, by the way, I mean, becoming a Third Degree member of the Mythical Society doesn’t just mean you get cool collectibles like this and everyone that comes on a quarterly basis, there’s all kinds of other benefits and other content that you can enjoy over there, including, well, you gotta be fourth tier to enjoy the non-Link content, but you know what I mean. There’s a lot to enjoy over there. – Check it out! – MythicalSociety.com. – [Stevie] Cassowaries are large, flightless birds native to Papua New Guienne. – My favorite bird is a cassowary. – [Stevie] Are you being serious? – Have you seen the one at the, I think it’s the LA Zoo? They’re like the size of an ostrich or an emu, – Good gosh! – But they are, like, a different plumage, and I think they’re darker. Very cool. – If you don’t believe in dinosaurs, look up a cassowary. In Papua New Guienne. – Yes. – [Stevie] They use their feet as weapons to defend against predators, but they have also known to perform a communal tap dance with those feet in social settings. – Communal tap dance? – Communal tap dance? – Look, if you wait around long enough, they’ll do a communal tap dance! – Here’s what I think is probably happening with that. They do a little dance where they’re kinda, and then some biologist has been, “Hm, that’s a communal tap dance,” but if you were to like, go to the zoo and see ’em do it, you’d be like, I mean, I would call that like, a light stomping. – Killing termites. – Yeah. So, for that reason, – You saying no? You saying nae? – Ooh, he’s breathing through his nose. (Rhett whispering to self) Okay, yes. Yes, that’s right. Nope. – I’m going on instinct, here. – Communal tap dance. – It happens. – [Stevie] Nah, we made that up. – I was about to change. (Rhett sighs) Communal tap dance is made up! – You know what, Link? Your face is the reason why my son can’t sleep at night. (chuckles) That’s a weak one, but how do you feel about that? – That’s ’cause my face told your son that his dad was stupid. (Rhett laughs) And he’s like, “Man, I gotta think about that.” – That’s pretty good, ’cause it’s gonna keep him up at night. Is that what you’re saying? – Yeah, yeah, yeah. – “Is my dad stupid? Dang! It really adds up.” – Yeah. – [Stevie] Elephants, like mom and dad as soon as the kids go to college, elephants are known to rub vigorously against each other just for the endorphin rush and nothing else. – Communal creatures, elephants. Great memory, familial bonds. – So, they rub against each other? – Known to morn the loss of, – Loved ones. – loved ones. – That’s what the elephant graveyard is. It’s where they go to morn the loss. This is definitely true. They are like, “Oh, Junior’s gone. Let’s rub each other to make up for the loss.” – I know a lot about elephants. I’ve only scratched the surface of my knowledge in what I’ve told to you in my verbal processing over the last few minutes, – Well, their skin is very thick, so you have to scratch very hard. – I’ve never heard this. This is a lie. – [Stevie] It’s true! It’s known as social rubbing. – Social rubbing? – Yeah, yeah, yeah. Social rubbing. – [Stevie] Which is the opposite of what we’re doing. – That is not a defense for anything. – Here’s the deal, man. If you say you know a lot about elephants and you don’t know about social rubbing, you don’t know much about elephants. – But you know what? They don’t talk enough about the social rubbing! (crew member laughing) – Well, what about this? – They’ve been keeping it from us! – Your autobiography would be a number one New York Times bestseller in the genre of Who Cares. (chuckles) That’s like something you’d see in that book that I had when I was a kid called “Snappy Insults &”, – “Funny Put-downs”. – “Funny Put-downs” that we used to read, and it was like, stuff like that. – Who cares? – That was a snappy put down. – [Stevie] Seagulls like to party by playing Drop and Catch with clamshells. This involves scooping a clam up in their beak, dropping it from high in the air, and then catching it just before it hits the ground. – These are what? Pigeons? – Yeah, pigeons. – [Stevie] Seagulls. – Oh. – I could definitely see that this would happen. – Seagulls are playful! – And birds are smarter than anybody realizes. I think this happens. – [Stevie] It’s real. They sometimes play that game, and they sometimes play the game of drop clams from a high height to break them open on the ground and then eat them. – Again, very, very smart. – Sometimes they play the game of like, drop dookie on humans. – Yeah, (chuckles) That’s a good game. It’s a real good game. You know, Link, you’re like jeans during a pandemic. Unwanted. (chuckles softly) (crew laughing in distance) – Also, don’t quite fit anymore when you try ’em on. – How’s that make sense for you? – I put on some pounds. – No, I’m saying, like, the analogy. If you’re like that, how are you like that? You don’t fit anymore? – You don’t fit around here anymore? – Have you noticed I’ve gained some weight? – (chuckling) That’s not what I’m saying. – Is that what you’re saying? – I’m not talking about your weight. – I mean, it’s five pounds. – Do you feel like you don’t fit around here? – Not like you can see it on camera or anything. – Do you feel like you don’t fit anymore? Behind this desk? You know? – I do, but my fly’s up and my button’s not buttoned. – [Stevie] Jellyfish like to use their tentacles to tickle other jellyfish’s sub-genital pits just for good old fashioned kicks and giggles. – Listen, jellyfish do not have sub-genital pits. (Link laughs) Okay? – You know, ’cause you know what you gotta have in order to have a sub-genital pit? – [Rhett And Link] Genitals. (both laugh) – [Stevie] Yeah. – Nae. – [Stevie] You right. – I mean, you ever been swimming by a jellyfish and you just see a big old nut sack just dangling down there? (Rhett laughing) – They don’t have that. I think they’re completely asexual! Aren’t they? It’s almost just like a bacteria. – Jellyfish don’t know how to party. Let’s just leave it at that. – I think they grow just from other jellyfish. Is there jellyfish sex? – [Stevie] They can reproduce both sexually and asexually. – Okay. Cool! – Thought I could for a while, too. – Yeah, right. I’ve tried quite a bit. (chuckles) (both chuckling) – Insult me. – Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. You really can’t figure out how to like tomatoes? Grow up! (laughs with crew) – I mean, if you would’ve lost, would I have insulted you with that? Seems like this was written specifically for me. – This one says for Rhett to read to Link. This is like, a just in case, you know? Just in case Rhett won. – [Stevie] Swans will go up to sleeping swans and honk at them just to wake them up for a reaction. – Swans are a-holes. This is true. – They are a-holes, but, it’s a fake-a. (crew member laughs softly) – It’s a fake-a. – [Stevie] Yeah, it’s not real. – Yeah, ’cause, you know. (honks) Seems like something they could do. – [Stevie] Reindeer have found the magic of magic mushrooms, and, in fact, often get into hoof fights just to get a taste of the psychedelic stuff. – As you consider that, Link, let me just, – So you’re talking, like, in the Arctic circle you got, like, magic mushrooms growing? I just don’t think that the territory between, you know, damp, shady mushrooms spots and frigid, you know, Christmas town, – Okay. What’s your answer? ‘Cause I have something I wanna tell you. Let’s lock in our answers. I’m locking in this is real, and I’m saying that Chase and I have a private Slack where we just talk trash about you. That’s actually true. I think I shouldn’t have put that in there. – More of a confession than an insult. – [Stevie] What’s the Slack channel name? – It’s just CR. Actually, it’s called CCR. We added a extra C ’cause Chance was like, (laughs with crew members) Chase was like, “What about, like, Credence Clearwater Revival? And that’d be, like, the way that we remember it?” And I was like, “Okay.” And so, one of the things that we do every morning is we log on and we send each other a little memes that feature Credence Clearwater. Yeah. – [Stevie] ‘Cause I thought you were referencing Cotton Candy Randy. – No, no, no. Definitely not. – [Stevie] Got it. This is true about reindeer! – I have a Slack channel called Fog Hat. – Okay. – I post, like, memes with Fog Hat. – Okay, cool. I know this to be true because I saw this on one of those, you know, like, PBS things. – [Stevie] Yeah. I guess that some people believe that this may be where the flying reindeer myth came from because it causes them to behave drunkenly and run about aimlessly and make strange noises. – And fly and like, haul sleds. – [Stevie] Yeah, that too. – That as well. – I guess you got these reindeers in greener areas than I pictured. – Yeah, yeah. Mushrooms can grow in icy places. (Link whistles) Ice-shrooms. – [Stevie] I have one more. Do you wanna do some mocking before? – Just unload on me. – Well, I got two more, so here’s one. Babies cry when they see you because you make being alive look hard. (chuckles) – There’s something to that one. – Yeah, I like that one. Okay, Stevie. – Life is hard. – [Stevie] Gophers will lie face flat in the dirt, facing each other, and remain motionless until one moves. The gopher who moves is the loser, presumably. – Gopher staring contests? – [Stevie] Well, it seems like they don’t look at each other. They look at the dirt? (chuckles) – Wow. A Gopher standoff, and it’s if you move, you lose! Wow. What would be the point? I don’t know, man. – I think they’re very territorial. I’m gonna say yes. – (sighs) I mean, I can’t agree with you at this point, because then there’s just a tie. I’m gonna say this doesn’t happen. – [Stevie] Yeah, it’s not true. (Link sighs) – Okay. Link, to add insult to injury, (Link moans) I got one last one for you. You look like a guy who offers free roadside massages from the back of a PT Cruiser. (light laughter) (Link chuckles) (upbeat music) – Roadside massages. – Hey, you like to party?
