How well do we know our own lives? Welcome to Good Mythical More. Jenna is going to be asking us some questions about ourselves. Yes, I am. Who wrote these questions? The internet or, uh, us? The writers. Okay. All right. What, what's the nature of these questions? Like- The nature of these questions are about, uh, like, your work together, and various awards and videos you've uploaded, and- Okay it has to do with all of the fun stuff. It's not personal questions. Okay, so there's a, there's a good chance that we may not know any of these answers if, if, uh- … if pat's knowledge of what we've done… When we start thinking about things that we've done, people are like, "Remember that time?" And we're like, "Well- Mm-hmm I'm sure I can find it." Yeah, you do, you do tend to forget what episodes were what as, like, right after you finish filming them. Okay. Yes. Let's hear the first one. Question one. The Dam is sometimes referred to as the first video you ever uploaded on YouTube. Mm-hmm. All the way back in 2006. But it was actually one of five videos you uploaded on the same day. Name the title of three of those videos other than The Dam. So there's four- Okay … other videos. Name three Umm You started really quickly So I'm not confident. Don't worry. Um Hmm I have a, I mean, I'm using some just logic of, uh, videos that we would have made before we… 'Cause the first videos that we uploaded were videos that we had not made for YouTube. They were videos that we had, that we were sitting on, that we had- Yeah … that we had made for other comedy purposes that were, like, on our website and stuff like that. Yeah. So- What you got? … one of, one of 'em I said was Pet My Stroller. I don't think… Well- It's not up anymore … that seems, that, yeah. But it had to be in the first batch. Technically, I think it was, yeah. Huh. I don't think that… Okay. Name another one that you thought of. Um, the Unibrow Song. I have that, and I also have the Megatator. Oh, I wrote, I called that the Burgazeebo, which was a little bit different. Oh. We can explain what that is. And then I'm pretty confident that the other one is trimming strangers' nose hairs. That's probably true. So what do you have as the five, Jenna? The four remaining- Four remaining after the dam … 'cause the dam was already, we know that. Uh, cutting strangers' nose hairs at the mall. Okay. Uh, and, uh, we really did that. Uh-huh. And, um- It's not good. It, I, I, I think that, uh, it's not, it wasn't a good thing to do. I don't stand by that we did it. It was a social experiment before there were social experiments. Yeah. I remember our pants were very big, and those, those came back. Yeah. Forward-looking. What else? Next, the Unibrow Song. Okay. Yes, which was a, um, a, a s- a song that we had sung for a long time, and then we decided to make a music video for it, and it features your dad as well as, um- Jim Acock … we were in a barber shop and, yeah, who's, uh, may he rest in peace. Yes. We got your dad's golf buddy, Jim, to, to get his eyebrow… No, no, he was, he also played golf. They didn't play golf together. Just church buddy. Okay. I'm just going, I, I- I'm glad you corrected me. The facts have gotta be right here. Okay. Not a golf buddy. I don't want, I don't want people thinking that Jim and Jim played golf together. He's dead. You really think… He played golf every day, but he didn't play with my dad. I'm just saying. Uh, you had to correct me on that. Jim played golf with Dick and Woody. Jim, Dick, and Woody. Yeah. It- The third is Burgaz Megatator commercial. The Burgaz Megatator. So that's what you… So not- So I got Megatator right. You said Burgazebo, which interestingly says Burgaz in it. But here's what we did. We invented a fake fast food restaurant to make fun of Carl's Jr and Hardee's called Burgaz with a A-Z. Yeah. And then we didn't, we made a commercial of, a Hardee's parody commercial where it was, they sold a, a pota- a, a french fry that was as big as an actual potato. Right. And w- it was called the Megatator. And I played a construction worker who was being interviewed about it. Yeah. Like, sitting there, like, looking at it with a hard hat on. Yeah. Of course, we never scripted anything. We would just start filming. Right. And then we would edit it. But then we also went out on the beach- And we, we invented a, a burger that looked like a gazebo called the Burgazebo, and we got, we got, we gave samples out to people on the beach, spring breakers. Spring breakers. And then- Panama City, Florida. Yes. I forgot about that. And- 'Cause that was the pre- that was the precursor to the Chicagazebo, which was- … a product that we did for Alka-Seltzer. We tried to make … We tried to combine the three iconic dishes- Chicago dishes … of Chicago into one super dish, and we- Went on WGN, which is the, the local affiliate there in, in Chicago- We got- that goes out to a lot of places, and we sang a song about the Chicagazebo live on air. It was a pizza stacked on top of a pizza with columns made out of hot dogs and Italian beef on the pizzas. But there was really doll rods in there. Doll rods in the hot dogs. Don't tell anybody about it. Yeah. Wieners d- aren't strong. So I was, I was wrong about the Burgazebo. That was, uh, to be honest. But the big question is, was I right about Pimp My Stroller? Y- I don't think they would know. I think only we would know, so I'm saying yes, you were right. But it's been taken down for copyright- Copyright infringement … reasons. Like, we, um, part of the songs that we used in it were not cleared. What, what else were you gonna say? The other one I was going to say was cash versus credit debit debate number one. Oh, when we dressed up like a flower and a … I don't remember what it was. Uh, a fudge round? A fudge round. Fudge round versus- Maybe … a flower debate. Yeah, we thought that we were gonna do a, a series of debates, and then every one was gonna end in a song, and, and the first one was cash versus debit. Versus credit. Which was not … It didn't work, it, it didn't catch on. So are you … You don't necessarily have to … That was an official answer, Pimp My Stroller. It w- But it had to be one of the first batch. I'll give you the point. I think it's a good point that, like, that thing is n- Yeah, I don't know if you can find it anywhere now, but Y- I, I wonder if it's on a drive around here somewhere You think it is? Uh- Okay, so Link's giving me the point for round one. Let, let the record show. Shoot. Shoot. Next, you once created a video that won the Best Comic Music Video award from the Contest of Awesome. What was the video? Remember the Contest of Awesome? It was those guys out of New York who they also made the political videos and, um, we got a duck. It was a duck I think this is the kind of thing that- Ah … I just assume that you're gonna remember this stuff better, because that part that you just said, nothing in my brain. The duck, I remember the duck. Yeah. But the fact that there was a Contest of Awesome, that we won it, I don't know that, so how am I supposed to know what the video was? I think it's, um- But it had to be 15 years ago, so I have to think about a v- music video that was happening back then. I think I know it. So what's your guess? You can just say it. The first Epic Rap Battle. Um, I think it was before that. I think it was the American Idol song where we took- Alexis Cohen. Yeah. She was, she got, she ap- um, auditioned for American Idol, and then she threw a tantrum when she got rejected, and she gave this, like, tantrum-infused speech- Yeah … that we turned into a song. I'll be someone someday. I'll make it someday. Someday. Somehow, somewhow, some way. One way. And I hope- … that someone sees that I have the talent somewhere. It's crazy how you remember these lyrics. Whether it be in acting or singing, or whether it be the fact that I have the chutzpah and the moxie to be able to get up and talk. To be able to say what I'm thinking. To be able to say what I mean. To be able to speak the heart. To be able to talk. To be able to- Hmm. Lead? To be able to… Hmm. I will be victorious. I think that was it, though. Is he right? Y- you're incorrect. Oh. But I kinda just wanna give you that point, because it was beautiful that you remembered all of it. But- That… Hey, that's a good song. Yeah. I will be victorious. That's it. Wasn't that, like, 20 years almost? Is that true? Like- What's that? … it was 2008 that came out. I'm just… Like, the fact that the human brain can store that information. I, my human brain can't store it. Yeah. But you pulled it up once Link started singing it. Yeah, you got some of it. The chorus, yeah. Um- 'Cause there's a music part of the brain. The actual- A, a lyric part of the brain. Like- … correct- … specifically lyrics. Lyric to melody. I think it's- Yeah, it's like- … it's stored in a melody part of my brain. The answer is- And that's where I get it … Fast Food Folk Song. Oh. Oh, okay. Yes. Okay, that's worthy. Taco Bell Fast Food Folk Song. Boy, I mean- That makes sense. Do you remember that one? That, um… Oh. How does it start? Oh, yeah. It's a, it was a web commercial for Taco Bell you did in 2009. I'd like a… Well, that's not a charibitable, charitable description of it. I, I, I'm reading the copy. I, I don't know It was a little white boy rappy, folk rappy type thing- Uh … wasn't it? No, it w- Um How did it start? 'Cause there were, there were two. Mm-hmm. You did the drive through rap later. Oh, the drive through rap was after that. Yeah, that was later. Um, that was one of the most successful, um, start to finish things that we had done because we were trying to get sponsorships. To get a Taco Bell sponsorship was amazing. To then say we were gonna actually sing a song at a Taco Bell drive through, nobody knew that it was sponsored, even though now you would know. And typically we were very upfront about our sponsorships, but the appeal of just singing a s- an order that then, the thing that really worked was not anything we did, but the response from the drive through people, like the accuracy of it and everything really made this into so- Well, because- a magical moment … to be clear, that was real And it got millions of views That was real. The guy's reaction, like he didn't know we were coming He didn't know we were coming I don't think he knew we were coming The second time we did it for the drive-thru rap, that was much more like planned, but still it was an authentic reaction, but okay. Nothing magical But that was award-worthy, I, I do think. In 2014, you did an epic rap battle of history with Ian and Anthony from Smosh. Which Renaissance artist did Anthony play? I don't remember what I played. Uh Link was Leonardo Da Vinci, I know that much because- Yeah … they had that painting. Um To the fathers of the Renaissance So Ian or Anthony? Anthony. Okay. Uh, Anthony played, um Uh, I know what he looked like. He had like a beret type thing on. It was- That doesn't help … had a little purple-ish on it. Um All right. I said Donatello. I said Donatello. Because I think Ian was Michelangelo. Incorrect. The correct answer is Raphael. Oh. Who played Donatello, me? I don't have that information. I think it was you. I only have the correct answers. I think it was you. Okay. I… Okay, do you remember any of that rap? Three toed freaks back under the street. Yeah, see. Uh, only thing I remember is da, da, da, of the Renaissance. Rhett's, uh, you were Donatello. Technique to kick three toed freaks back under the street. I take a, I take a, I take a son of a man, I turn him into melts, mince meat. You don't really wanna mess with Da Vinci. I like the ladies. I like to keep it mellow. I like to pass the mic to my man, Donatello. Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da. Hardcore, but I'm gross in the middle. Na, na, na, na, na. I remember those lyrics. I, just like I take a test right now- We didn't write those lyrics, so it's harder to remember … I would remember those lyrics, uh, the day that I did them, and then the next day- Yeah they would start to fade. That, that was always a really good experience because it was such a- It was a hit … um, successful series. It was a phenom. And Nice Peter and Epic Lloyd were, like, craftsmen, and we would drive all the way across LA over there to Venice Beach to their studio, and then, uh, wait for, wait, like, an hour for, uh, Peter to show up. And then he would, uh… 'Cause they would, they would send us a demo ahead of time, and they would be like, "Make it your own," but it was really hard to make it better than whatever they did. Yes. And- I was holding on for dear life just to make it sound like they did. But it was a lot of fun to record, and, um, yeah, they made, they made us look and sound great. And then we went back over there at a different time to, uh- The Wright Brothers … Maker Studios, and we w- we recorded it all on a green screen. Yeah, w- I guess we did three of them. Lewis and Clark, Wright Brothers, and, um, the, the Renaissance artists. Next one. That's new. The, the fact that we did three of them is also news to me. In 2008, you released a web series called Seaborn and Roach. Who was the sponsor? Uh. You mean the ones that didn't pay us for the last- Yeah, call 'em out. Call 'em … round? I can see it. And there was a voiceover that said it. We put it on the screen and we said it. I'll, I, I'm half right? It's Spy something. Associates. Spy Associates. Is that right? Spy Associates. Link, you are correct. Yeah, Spy Associates. Yeah, so if Spy Associates is still out there- You owe us, like- Y'all didn't pay us the- $300 … we, we asked for $300 for, per video, okay? And you didn't pay us. And that was easily the best thing you ever did. But they did send us some spy equipment that we never used. Next one. With interest, what does that add up to now? Uh, just go to, don't answer that question. Go to the n- Probably $600. We, I don't want you to do interest. How many T-shirts did you use in your video T-shirt War? All right, you know this. Dude, I don't, we do something and then I look to the next thing. You know me. That's true. I don't spend any time thinking about what we've done. Actually, that's not true. We're doing something- And I'm already thinking about the next thing and you're looking at the next thing. Uh… Well, if you had to decide right now how many it would be, what number would you say? If you had to make the video. I would, uh, I would say that you had to do at least 500 in order to make it clickable. Uh, so I had to say 500. You don't have to write it. Okay. 222, right? Correct, Link. That's why nobody clicked on it. It's got a nice ring to it. Yeah. That was a, that was an important video. That's why I remember it. All right, we're moving forward in time a little bit, so maybe, Rhett, you got… You also spent more time on this project than Link did, so maybe you, you know this. In Ronstadt, episode four, how did- I, listen, I sat in a room. I sat in a room here, the Ear Biscuits room. Uh-huh. How many days did that take me? Uh, I think we scheduled maybe, like, five, six days. I just sat in a room on, like, comms with the director, just by myself- I have no idea what happened in that podcast. No idea. I was just like talking like this. I was just talking like this the whole time. I'm Ronstadt. And there were people who liked it. So he's abstaining. He's abstaining. But ask me the question. I'll see if I can get it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, so episode four, Hattie tests Ronstadt on the names of certain supernatural creatures. All right, who's Patty? Hattie. That was, like, my, uh- Love interest? I don't know. No. Assistant? Bartender. Bartender? No. No. Therapist. No, no, no. She was the, uh… Yes, I remember Patty. I do know Patty now. You're saying Patty, but it's Hattie with an H. Hattie. Yes. And- I was about to say, the reason I didn't remember, 'cause it's not Patty, it's Hattie. Okay. She was an adult older lady. What was the name of the teeny-weeny dude who sorta looks like a Smurf, but not cute and blue? He's purple, pimply and aroused. I hope this is a multiple choice. It is not. Okay, then do a true or false. True or false. Do a true or false. Okay. But, but then you're gonna know it's true, 'cause I only have one answer. Yes. You fell into my trap. Well, Jenny, you can, you can make up a- I did apologize, 'cause I didn't tell you nothing. Slimer Uh, oh, okay. Wait, wait, wait It's like retch or something We've got, we're filling out some multiple choice. Hold on one second. Oh, great. See? The writers are adding things in as we speak. This'll be a real test. This is, what this is a test of is if it is still in my brain and there's just no way to get to it, or if it's literally just gone. Okay. Here's f- four- I think it's, like, retch or yetch or something like that. Here's four multiple choice options. All right. A, bluey, B, pervy, C, peepee, D, pimpless. Pervy, B. Correct. Oh, you got it. Still in there. All right. Pervy is still in there. Let's hear it. The Ron Stoppable voice already did it. I'm just k- just kidding. Your documentary, Looking For Mrs. Locklear, won an award from South Carolina Public TV. What was the award called? Oh, I think I can get this one. Um, I can do this What did you say? The Independent Lens Award. Oh, I call it the Secret City First Film Award. I think you're right. Y- you're not quite. Uh, it's the Southern Lens Award. Oh. Do you have another question? I have one more question for y'all. All right, let's hear it. All right. When The Book of Mythicality was released in 2017, it made it on the New York Times bestseller list. In what section? The Book of Mythicality? Book of Mythicality Uh I'll give you a hint. It's a section that has, like, multiple Yeah, it's two things I said humor and self-help, which don't really go together. I said how to. It was advice, how to, and miscellaneous. Oh. I remember- There you go … having to, we had to make that decision about what is this book? I think it would be helpful to, um, certain, um, budding teens. Bu- budding teens. Join All Access to unlock the Rhett and Link slippers quarterly collectible at mythicalsociety.com
