GMMore 2475: Do You Have Bad Table Manners?

[Link] Rhett-and-Link-isha. – [Link] Welcome to Good Mythical More. – [Link] Do we know table etiquette? – [Link] Do we know when Stevie’s delivering – [Link] a baby? – [Link] No. – [Stevie] We cannot go back here, Link. – [Link] I didn’t say it was your own baby. – [Link] You’re the doctor in this scenario. – [Link] Like, dadgum, I can’t even say – [Link] it would be cute – [Link] for you to deliver somebody else’s baby? – [Rhett] Dr. Levine, that’s all we’re talking about. – [Link] Paging Dr. Levine. – [Link] Wynne Levine. I don’t know. – [Rhett] What are we doing? – [Rhett] Manners. – [Link] Is it a hyphenated last name or middle name? – [Stevie] What? – [Link] After all these years, I should probably know. – [Rhett] It’s a middle name. – [Link] Stevie Wynne. – [Link] It’s the first name hyphenated. – [Link] It’s like Ruth’s Chris. Stevie’s Wynne – [Stevie] Stevie’s Wynne. – [Link] Stevie’s Wynne. – [Stevie] I am going to be giving you etiquette. – [Stevie] Rules, manners, and you’re going to say – [Stevie] if they’re real or fake. – [Link] Yep – [Rhett] Well, in light of how Link just – [Rhett] explored your last name – [Rhett] and your middle name, – [Rhett] that fits in with us, donating $1,000 – [Rhett] to Reading is Fundamental – [Rhett] to aid in their mission to inspire a passion – [Rhett] for reading among all children – [Rhett] and engage communities in the solutions – [Rhett] to give every child the fundamentals – [Rhett] for success. – [Rhett] Please join us in giving at – [Rhett] rif.org/donate – [Link] Donate. – [Stevie] Okay. If you bring wine to a dinner party, – [Stevie] you should not expect to drink it. – [Link] And we should use like some sort. – [Link] We should, like, react. – [Link] We should emote our answers. – [Rhett] Okay. Well, – [Rhett] I think you’re going to need to – [Rhett] give me the wine – [Rhett] so I can demonstrate my answer. – [Rhett] And then you react to my answer – [Rhett] to see if you agree with me or not. – [Rhett] That’s the best way to do it. – [Rhett] Oh, hello, Charles. – [Rhett] Oh, thank you so much. – [Rhett] I’ll put this in the wine fridge – [Rhett] to enjoy on a different day – [Rhett] other than today. ((Laughing)) – [Stevie] I believe if I’m reading the act correctly, – [Stevie] you are both correct. – [Stevie] Because you’re saying that this is – [Stevie] a real etiquette statement. – [Link] Yep. – [Rhett] But how often, – [Rhett] how often do you follow this? – [Rhett] Because when people bring wine over – [Rhett] to my house, – [Rhett] we open it up and drink it. – [Stevie] Yeah. I mean, it’s also – [Link] When I bring anything over – [Link] to somebody’s house, – [Link] I’m bringing it over for me secretly. – [Stevie] Which is also like a nice gift, you know? – [Stevie] It’s like, you didn’t have to provide me – [Stevie] alcohol tonight. I’ve provided it for us. – [Link] It’s like, Oh, this isn’t for you. – [Link] This is for me to drink in front of you, – [Link] but, you can have some. – [Rhett] Well, I think you’ve actually just uncovered – [Rhett] the origin of the etiquette. – [Link] Right. You can’t be buying stuff for yourself. – [Rhett] Because if you bring it, – [Rhett] and you’re thinking that – [Rhett] you want to enjoy it, you’re actually – [Link] Being selfish. – [Stevie] But I will say, if you get a bottle of wine – [Stevie] that you don’t like and you bring it, – [Stevie] that’s also weird. – [Stevie] Because why would you bring – [Stevie] a bottle of wine that you don’t enjoy? – [Rhett] You want to drink this? – [Rhett] Oh, no, no, no, no. I don’t enjoy this wine. – [Rhett] But I thought you would. – [Stevie] Yeah, yeah. – [Link] Yeah. It is a double edged sword, isn’t it? – [Link] Because then you’re, like, disappointed – [Link] when you open it. – [Link] You should bring something – [Link] that you want to drink. – [Link] Not expecting to drink it. – [Stevie] There we go. Yeah. – [Stevie] Never clink glasses during a toast. – [Rhett] Never clink glasses. – [Rhett] Okay, bullcrap. – [Rhett] First of all. – [Stevie] You didn’t act anything out. ((Laughing)) – [Rhett] I just want to say. – [Rhett] I’m real happy. – [Rhett] I’m real happy for my boy here, and the – [Link] I can’t hold this much longer. Finish – [Rhett] and the woman that he found. – [Rhett] And, you know, I’m hoping for – [Rhett] many, many, many happy years for you guys – [Rhett] to be together. – [Rhett] I hope she never finds out about 2007. – [Rhett] March 14, 2007, in Milwaukee 3 a.m. – [Rhett] Approximately 3 a.m. to 3:15 a.m. – [Rhett] What I found you doing. – [Rhett] Hope she never finds out about that. – [Rhett] Here, here. – [Link] I’m miming this stuff. – [Link] You’re talking too much. – [Link] You’re emoting. – [Rhett] No, we’re supposed to act it out – [Rhett] and then react to it. – [Link] I said, emoting. – [Rhett] Yeah, but we don’t want to just do that. – [Rhett] And just act it out? – [Link] I don’t understand – [Stevie] What were you even emoting? – [Link] I don’t even, that’s the game. – [Link] That was the game when we did this – [Rhett] But now we’ve changed it so that – [Link] No, you’ve changed it. – [Rhett] No, no, but I was expecting you – [Rhett] to act it out that time. – [Rhett] That’s why I turned around. – [Link] I’m just a guy who doesn’t talk. – [Link] Yeah, yeah, that’s why – [Link] I said I was emoting. – [Rhett] Yeah, but the game I’m playing – [Link] I really wanted to emote. – [Rhett] is acting out, – [Rhett] and then the other guy emotes – [Rhett] to see if he agrees with it. – [Rhett] So it’s kind of two things for one. – [Link] All right, well, that’s what I’m doing. – [Rhett] Okay. So we don’t know if – [Rhett] you’re clink clanking or not. – [Rhett] Can you repeat? ((Laughing)) – [Link] You don’t even know the question. – [Rhett] Clinking glasses during a toast is rude. – [Rhett] And so what I was going to say is – [Rhett] that’s not true. – [Link] And what I’m saying is. – [Stevie] It looks like you are allergic to bees – [Stevie] and you got stung. ((Laughing)) – [Link] What I’m doing is, – [Link] oh, it doesn’t sound true, but it is ((Laughing)) – [Link] Right? Isn’t that the face you make. – [Rhett] Yeah, that’s exactly the face you make – [Rhett] when something sounds true, – [Rhett] doesn’t sound true. – [Link] But it is. – [Link] That doesn’t sound true, but it is. – [Stevie] Real. You’re not supposed to – [Stevie] clink your glass – [Link] During a toast, you wait until after. – [Stevie] No. Not at all. – [Rhett] That’s bull crap, I said from the beginning. – [Link] All right. Fine. I’ll do it your way next round. – [Rhett] Bull crap. – [Rhett] But I want you to act it out the next time. – [Rhett] I turned away so you would act it out. – [Rhett] And then you – [Link] I was emoting. That’s a form of acting. – [Link] It’s the greatest form of acting. – [Link] Ask David Hill. ((Laughing)) – [Link] I learn from the best. – [Stevie] Proper etiquette dictates – [Stevie] that you have to “a-plaud.” “A-plaud?” – [Stevie] Applaud the host – [Stevie] before being seated – [Stevie] if you’re invited to a formal dinner. – [Link] Hold on, so in the previous one. – [Link] Why can you not clink a glass – [Link] in a toast? – [Stevie] Because you might break the glass. – [Stevie] It’s too, like, aggressive. – [Link] So what do you do? – [Stevie] You just raise your glass. – [Link] You raise it? – [Stevie] Yeah. – [Rhett] Touch nothing, – [Rhett] except the air. – [Link] So a dink it is – [Rhett] Yeah. We made it up. – [Link] inappropriate? – [Rhett] We made it up. – [Rhett] It wasn’t a thing until we made it up. – [Link] We’ve been doing something inappropriate – [Link] this whole time. – [Rhett] “Unetiqutical” – [Link] Oh, my God. – [Rhett] What was the next thing? – [Rhett] Applaud who? – [Stevie] To applaud the host. – [Stevie] If you’re invited to a formal dinner, – [Stevie] before being seated. – [Link] Applaud the host at a formal dinner. – [Rhett] Oh, okay. – [Link] I don’t know what you want from me, – [Link] but I’m going to try. – [Rhett] You act it out. – [Rhett] You have to be everybody involved, – [Rhett] and I just react to it. – [Link] Welcome to my party. I’m the host. – [Link] I’m here and I’m here. – [Link] I’m a friend of the host. – [Link] I’m standing and – [Link] I’m standing – [Link] and I’m the host and I’m seated. – [Link] Oh, hello. Please come in. Come in. – [Link] Who are you? Do you have a cramp? – [Link] You have cramps? – [Rhett] What’s going on here? – [Link] I’m hosting the party. – [Link] You here for it? – [Link] Please be seated along with me, – [Link] now that you’ve applauded. – [Link] That’s my poor attempt at like – [Link] What We Do in the Shadows character. – [Rhett] So, yeah, we think that’s real. – [Link] Yeah, I think it’s real, too, – [Link] because the host usually comes down – [Link] from a staircase. – [Link] Everyone’s applauding, – [Link] then they sit down – [Stevie] No, it’s fake. – [Stevie] That would be so weird. – [Rhett] That would be awesome. – [Stevie] Sure. – [Link] Staircase, applaud, seated. – [Link] There’s an order to these things. – [Rhett] Shoot, I got to stop construction – [Rhett] on that staircase to nowhere – [Rhett] in my house. – [Link] Just so people can applaud. – [Rhett] There’s just a staircase in my dining room – [Rhett] that just goes up to the next floor. – [Link] Don’t look up. – [Link] See you standing at the top – [Link] of the staircase that leads nowhere. – [Link] Okay, we’re on a roll, – [Link] but we are learning something. – [Stevie] If you’re seated at the dinner table – [Stevie] and have to get up, – [Stevie] don’t tell your party where you’re going. – [Rhett] Okay. Okay. Can I be that guy? – [Rhett] I’m going to have to do – [Rhett] an inner monologue. – [Rhett] Oh, crap. I’ve got to get up. – [Link] Hold on. If you’re doing an inner monologue, – [Link] then you do it for me. – [Link] I’ll act it out by emoting. – [Link] See? This is a win win. – [Rhett] Yeah, but can you also do physicals? – [Link] I’m emoting, with my whole body. – [Link] I’m miming. – [Rhett] Ah shoot, I shouldn’t have had. – [Rhett] I shouldn’t have had the extra glass – [Rhett] of unclinked wine. – [Rhett] Oh man, I should have clinked it. – [Rhett] Because then I could have spilled some. – [Rhett] But now I’ve had so much to drink – [Rhett] that I feel like I’m about to burst. – [Rhett] Oh, I think I’m going to have to – [Rhett] actually hold my actual. – [Rhett] Yep, there I am holding it. – [Rhett] Yeah. It’s like pinching a hose. – [Rhett] Oh man. I can’t let anybody, – [Rhett] a long hose. – [Rhett] I can’t let anybody see this. – [Rhett] Man, how do I get up in a way – [Rhett] that no one knows I’m about to go – [Rhett] piss all over the place? – [Rhett] I’m going to get up, – [Rhett] and I’m going to keep my hand on it, – [Rhett] but I’m going to turn around real fast – [Rhett] and I’m going to run. – [Rhett] Oh, God. Oh, God. – [Rhett] Wait, don’t, man, that’s wrong. – [Rhett] You shouldn’t be doing that. – [Rhett] That’s me talking at you for real right now. ((Laughing)) – [Rhett] Don’t do that, man. It’s bad. – [Rhett] That’s distasteful, man. – [Rhett] That’s just distasteful, man. – [Rhett] Distasteful. – [Link] I’m pinching my wiener – [Link] because I really have to go – [Link] take a piss. – [Rhett] Okay. – [Rhett] You don’t tell people – [Rhett] where you’re going. – [Rhett] You just get up – [Link] I don’t think you do either. – [Rhett] You don’t tell people. – [Link] Excuse me, guys. – [Link] I just got back – [Link] from dropping the largest deuce. – [Rhett] You definitely don’t tell them – [Rhett] when you come back. – [Link] Yeah. I think that’s safe to say. – [Stevie] This is real. It says, like, – [Stevie] no matter where you’re going, – [Stevie] you simply need to say, – [Stevie] please excuse me. – [Rhett] Oh, yeah, but that’s what we said. – [Rhett] We agreed. – [Stevie] No, you said that. – [Rhett] Yeah, yeah, – [Rhett] You don’t tell. – [Link] You don’t show. – [Link] That’s what we were saying. – [Rhett] Yeah, yeah. That’s what I was saying. – [Link] That’s what I wasn’t saying, – [Link] because I wasn’t speaking. – [Rhett] He just came up here, and was like. – [Link] Excuse me. – [Rhett] And you just come back – [Rhett] and you’re just like – [Rhett] immediately start eating again. – [Rhett] And no one says anything. – [Link] I had to, – [Link] like a Russian race horse. – [Rhett] I feel 10 pounds lighter. – [Link] Made some room. Hey, everybody. – [Stevie] At the dinner party, – [Stevie] we’re still at a dinner party. – [Rhett] Yeah, we are. – [Stevie] It’s impolite, – [Stevie] if you don’t pet the host’s pet. – [Stevie] Dog, cat, other pet. – [Rhett] Well, back in medieval times, – [Rhett] they used the dog as a napkin. ((Laughing)) – [Link] I think that’s true. – [Link] It is true. – [Rhett] It sounds like a joke, right? – [Rhett] All dogs were napkins, – [Rhett] but not all napkins were dogs. – [Link] Yeah, it sounded like a joke. ((Laughing)) – [Link] But, yeah, so everyone would wipe, – [Link] the dog would go around – [Link] and you wipe your hand on the dog? – [Rhett] That was the whole point of a dog. – [Link] Or would they lick the hand. – [Rhett] I think you could do both, – [Rhett] but it’s more like, yep, there he goes. – [Rhett] Now, there’s an interesting parallel here – [Rhett] as it relates to working at Mythical – [Rhett] because it is not uncommon for us – [Rhett] to be in a board meeting – [Rhett] and for there to be at least one dog present – [Rhett] that is just leash-less, – [Rhett] walking around, – [Rhett] and you can be making a serious point – [Rhett] and a dog can walk by – [Rhett] and, oh, gotta pet him. – [Stevie] Not a board meeting, – [Stevie] you’re just saying like a meeting – [Stevie] in the boardroom. – [Rhett] A meeting in the boardroom. – [Rhett] Did I say board meeting? – [Link] We have a board. – [Rhett] We have a board. – [Link] I think technically we have a board, right? – [Link] Me and you are on the board. – [Rhett] Maybe. – [Link] I don’t know. There’s some – [Rhett] So, me and you are having a meeting. – [Rhett] Me and you are having a meeting, – [Rhett] and there’s a dog. – [Link] No, I think back when we were an LLC, – [Link] we had to have a fake board meeting – [Link] every year. – [Link] We had to write about it. – [Rhett] Dear diary. ((Laughing)) – [Rhett] Today, me and my friend Link had a meeting. – [Link] A board meeting. – [Rhett] It was very boring. – [Rhett] There was a dog there. – [Link] We had to vote. – [Link] It’s like, we voted to start the meeting. – [Rhett] We petted the dog. – [Link] We voted to end the meeting. – [Rhett] Link got up in the middle, – [Rhett] pinched his wiener. – [Rhett] His long wiener. Correction. – [Rhett] Came back. Said – [Rhett] “I feel 10 pounds lighter.” – [Rhett] Meeting adjourned. – [Link] Minutes. – [Rhett] We had to have minutes. – [Link] To prove that we – [Rhett] That we met. – [Link] That we met. Seriously. – [Rhett] So the question is, – [Rhett] Are you sure, you’re supposed to – [Rhett] use a dog as a napkin? – [Rhett] What was the original question? ((Laughing)) – [Rhett] What was the original question? – [Stevie] It’s impolite if you don’t pet – [Stevie] the host’s pet. – [Link] I think it is. – [Link] Well, I understand it, – [Link] but I’m a little offended. – [Rhett] It is, listen, when you got a dog at your house – [Rhett] and somebody is like, you can kind of tell – [Rhett] they’re a little bit like standoffish. – [Rhett] I think that’s rude. – [Rhett] Unless they say I’m allergic. – [Link] I understand it, – [Link] because I used to be – [Link] one of those people. – [Rhett] You were a dog pusher? – [Link] I was a dog not toucher. – [Link] I wouldn’t touch people’s dogs. – [Link] Matter of fact, Stevie, back in the old days – [Link] when you first started working with us, – [Link] there might have been a long time – [Link] before I would touch Enzo. – [Link] I don’t think I ever touched Enzo. – [Stevie] You were not dog lovers. – [Stevie] I think Enzo pushed you – [Rhett] I was. – [Link] I was. – [Rhett] I’ve always been a dog lover. – [Stevie] I will say, even when, Link, – [Stevie] even when you have your dogs on camera, – [Stevie] we still get comments about – [Stevie] how you touched the dogs – [Rhett] So maybe – [Rhett] Yeah, you’re not a good dog toucher. – [Rhett] It’s okay. – [Rhett] You can’t be good at everything. – [Link] That’s the one thing. – [Link] I’ll give you that. ((Laughing)) – [Link] I think that’s unrealistic, – [Link] so I’m gonna say – [Rhett] I agree. – [Stevie] Yeah it’s fake. – [Stevie] I agree with you though. – [Stevie] You notice stuff like that, – [Stevie] if somebody is standoffish in that way – [Stevie] and then, you judge them. – [Link] You can’t help, but not like them – [Link] when you love something – [Link] as much as your dog. – [Link] And then people are like, – [Link] repulsed by it. – [Link] I can’t touch this thing – [Link] that you’re absolutely in love with. – [Rhett] You let lick the back of your throat. ((Laughing)) – [Rhett] No, I don’t do that. – [Rhett] I’m talking about those, like, – [Rhett] TikTok videos where people are like, – [Rhett] so in love with their dogs – [Rhett] and their dog is like, – [Rhett] their dog’s head is like inside the mouth. – [Rhett] I don’t do that, okay? – [Rhett] I let the dogs lick me. – [Link] I do not even – [Rhett] Sean licks me on the nose. – [Rhett] He’s a nose licker extraordinaire – [Link] I don’t let my dogs lick me on the face. – [Rhett] I do – [Link] I don’t. I do not. – [Rhett] You do not, Stevie? – [Stevie] I don’t I can’t, like – [Link] I’ve seen what else they lick. – [Rhett] I don’t let them linger – [Link] Every second counts, dude. – [Rhett] I definitely keep it real tight. – [Stevie] I will kiss them like on their snout – [Stevie] or, you know, but – [Link] You don’t want – [Link] I mean, they licked their own butts – [Link] and each other’s butts – [Rhett] They have so many beneficial bacteria. – [Rhett] I want my microbiome to have dog DNA. – [Rhett] There’s a TikTok, it’s a guy. – [Rhett] It’s like, the dog’s kissing and he’s like – [Rhett] and the whole – [Rhett] chihuahua goes inside his mouth – [Rhett] and I’m like – [Rhett] Oh – [Link] That is grody, man. – [Link] But if you come to a party – [Link] and my kids are there and you go. – [Link] That’s what it feels like. – [Link] Don’t talk to Link’s kid. – [Link] Oh, you have kids? – [Stevie] No, I don’t. – [Stevie] I don’t want to talk to anyone’s kids, – [Stevie] to be clear. – [Stevie] I don’t. – [Stevie] I will avoid. – [Link] But you’ll deliver them in a heartbeat. – [Rhett] Dr. Levine, she’s seen a lot of babies. – [Rhett] A lot of babies. – [Rhett] If you’ve been collecting – [Rhett] the Pin of the Month, you’re in luck. – [Rhett] We’ve got the Pin of the Month – [Rhett] Collector’s Corkboard – [Rhett] available at Mythical.com “
