LTAT 51: If Blink 182 Sang A Christmas Carol

(upbeat music) – Welcome to “Let’s Talk About That”, the show about the show. I’m Stevie and I think two is the magic number for chickens. This week’s guests put the duo in Duolingo, please welcome Rhett and Link. (audience claps) – [Rhett] High knees! – Oh, already off, already messing things up. – Yeah, you see what I got here– – Here we are, Chris, are we still. – I gotta little– – Are we hearing him on this? – Look at that. You see that dangling in between my legs? – That cannot be healthy. – You know what that is. – [Together] It’s a microphone! – I’m gonna clip that audio out, I’m gonna use it on a game for something else maybe just my personal laughs and giggles. Hello! – You know, Stevie, if you’re not high-kneein’, you’re not livin’. – Testing, testing one, two, three. – High knee, I thought you said hiney. – High knees! – Classic, classic mistake of mine. – Stevie, if you’re not high kneeing, you’re not living. (Link laughing) – That’s what I thought you said and then I thought there was a follow up, but no. Hey, it’s Saturday. – Woo, we made it. – You know that day of the week that comes after all the other days and then this day you’re like, yay! I’m at home, maybe. – T-G-I-S! – Yes, um, well– – TGIS! – Boy do we have a lot in store for you today be’cause we are about to become YouTube’s finest cage decorators. And I say that without giving you context as to what that means be’cause it’s more fun that way. Also, if Blink-182 doesn’t contact us personally after this episode, I’m gonna be offended. I also am not giving you context for what that means. What a great day, you wanna eat some stuff? – I’m a little tad hungry. – [Stevie] Okay. – I’m a little tad hungry. – On the show this week, you had pork dishes from around the US and then you threw the darts. But what pork dish did you not have, might you ask me? – Oh, well, there was one with pork in it and– – [Stevie] Could it be? – I didn’t have pig eyes. – Chicharonnes. – Pork rinds. – Chicharonnes. – I think it’s Chicharonnes, yeah, pork rinds. – Chicharonnes. – You know what I’m saying. – Yeah. – Pork skins. – Was this a, this isn’t a North Carolina, is it a North Carolina thing? – Sure, yeah. – I mean, it’s a southern thing. – What was your experience? – Listen, when you go into a convenience store in North Carolina, there’ll be a pack up at the register that’s clear plastic, it doesn’t look like this. It’s completely clear plastic. It’s got a little writing on it. And the pork rinds are as big as a hand. You’ve seen these, right, as big as like the whole, it’s like a piglet size almost and then it’s just straight up pig skin. – Did you partake in them? – Yes. – No. – That makes sense for you, okay. Well we don’t have no North Carolina pig skins here today, folks. We have Epic pig skins, you know this brand. – Yeah, yeah, yeah. – Yeah, yeah, yeah. There’s all kinds of bars floating around here that would have stuff on it. – I went through an Epic pork rind phase actually, be’cause it was just weird. – I remember that phase. – No protein in the skin though. – No you don’t. Yes there is. – I remember that phase though, I wanted to– – Maybe there’s not. – To talk to you during that time, but you were so into your pork rinds. – Surrounded by bags of Epic pork rinds. No, be’cause they’re paleo. And they’re like chip-y, you know how sometimes you want that– – Yeah. – Snack-munch situation. – The cavemen used to eat pork rinds. – Oh buddy though, that smell, okay so we have pink Himalayeahn sea salt, Epic, oh I don’t remember– – [Rhett] You don’t like the smell? – I don’t remember that smell that’s wafting. – This is exactly the smell that I remember coming from those bags in the convenience stores. (bag crinkling) – Hey, I got a long one. (rinds crunching) – Hey now. (rinds crunching) I like them though, I do like them. – It’s good. – Here’s the only thing. – You know, don’t need to think about it. – They’re so dry, I remember when I did my phase, it would just like kind of, you can’t swallow it all the way. There’s something weird about like how dry it is, that it doesn’t fully, it takes a while for it to even. – I’m so confused, looking at the nutritional information. – 11? – It says 11 grams of protein and there’s five servings of that but then next to it, it says, not a significant source of protein. No, that’s a significant source of protein. When there’s over 50 grams of protein in this whole bag. What am I supposed to believe? – Maybe it’s like an FDA, like, phrase that you can’t use for a certain amount of– – Skin? – Skin, mmm. I don’t know. – These are baked, not fried. – These are like, in my opinion, looking at the packaging and knowing this brand probably the least healthy for you and the most, they’re probably fried now. That’d be my guess. (bag crinkling) – I’m just really confused and I’m not gonna sleep well until I know why this is not a significant source of protein be’cause I get most of my protein from pork skins. – I’m comparing the smell and they’re both bad. – Very similar smell, these are a little bit staler. – Huh. – And they look fuzzy, these look fuzzier. – They’re lighter. – I’m not trying to gross you out, but I– – No, no, no, don’t say it, I know what you’re gonna say. Don’t say it. – It’s one of the factors– – Wait until we get done. – Okay, yeah, let’s get through all three. – Okay. (rinds crunching) – Teaser! – It is gross, but. – Yeah, these are much lighter. – They’re like, um. – More gamey. – They’re kind of cotton candy-like. – They’re fibrous. – Yep, that’s the big word. – These are bubbly, Epic is bubbly, and then what are these? Mission are more fibrous. – These are Pork King Good, and– – Okay. – I’m sorry, I can’t get past this. These have nine grams of protein but then it’s 2% of your daily value which I know that that’s more than 2%. Something about the protein– – In a pig skin. – In pork skins is not a significant source of protein and I don’t understand how that can happen. And we need a scientist. – Please comment below if you are a scientist. – If you are a scientist– – If you’re a pig skin scientist, which basically means a quarterback. (Link laughs) – Well, ”cause I don’t think, I don’t think it has anything to do with that but I was gonna say like, it’s not like you would pick up a bag of pork skins over, like, a protein bar or something. – No, I do it on a regular basis. – You do? – I literally have a stack of protein bars that I reach over to get to my pork skins. Be’cause I like to make that analogy come true. – Tell me more about this true thing you’re talking about. – It’s a pyramid shape. – [Stevie] Oh, huh. – It’s in the middle of the kitchen, my wife hates it. (all laughing) – This is a woman-owned company. – I’m not interested. – It has a check mark next to it, I don’t know why. – That was a joke! – Check, woman-owned, small in size but big in personality. Which I don’t want to think about. I think they mean themselves, not the pigs. Ugh. (bag crinkling) – Yeah, yeah, they mean the company. – Yeah the company. – Talking about the company. – The women-owned company. – Woo, Lord. – That first whiff gets you every time. – It does, it does. But did you notice how well I opened all the bags? – Oh no, these smell considerably better and they smell like they have a touch of vinegar. – Oh they do, they do. – Oh, yeah. Himalayeahn pink salt and vinegar, you see that big word right there? – [Stevie] Mmmm. – A touch of vinegar. – That’s a good idea. – This is what they needed, a little flavor. – Listen. – These are very light, these are the most cloudy. – Okay. – Cloud-like. – The saga continues. Eight grams of protein, what percentage of daily value does that say right there? – 16. – 16%. How can you have nine grams of protein be 2%? And these people at Pork King Good are saying and making the claim that protein in these pig skins actually counts and these people are saying it doesn’t. There’s a discrepancy, I think we’ve found, like, a pork rind loophole in the FDA. – Yeah. – Or the USDA or one of the A’s. – I hope we’re not getting Pork King in trouble or, I don’t care about Mission getting in trouble. I feel like Mission can handle itself. And Pork King can handle itself! – Somebody’s right and somebody’s wrong and we gotta get to the bottom of it. – I hate to say it, but the ladies have done it. – [Rhett] The ladies have done a– – The ladies have done it. – Well, they put vinegar on it, I actually– – It doesn’t matter how they got there. – And their protein counts, be’cause when you put vinegar on it, the protein counts. – According to the FDA. – Epic are still my favorite. – Really? – Yeah, they’re the crunchiest and they’re not even fried. I mean none of this stuff is great for you. – These are cooked in pork fat. – Okay, I’ll accept your opinion. – But the thing that I was saying was, you gotta look closely and see if there’s hairs. – Okay. (hands clap) – And be’cause the ones that you’ll get from the, just, that Rhett’s talking about, that’s why I never ate ’em be’cause you’ll pull those things out and there’ll be like pig hairs. – Yeah. – But they’ve successfully scraped these. – Ew. – Look at the other flavors that they have– – It’s the truth though. – Pork King Good also comes in white cheddar, pizza, onion and sour cream– (rinds crunching) That’s a weird order, salted butter and nacho cheese. – Huh. – I’m in. I’m on this ride, ladies. – And where can you pick up your own bag of Pork King? No, the website we’re about to shout out is MythicalSociety.com and here’s my transition. – [Rhett] These are good though. – Have you heard of the next quarterly item? It’s not chicarrones, but it is chi-chi-chia. – Oh, wow, that’s interesting. – [Link] Chi-chi-chicharronnes. – That wasn’t even planned, that just came out of my mouth. The word about the URL. No, if you guys haven’t seen the third degree quarterly item, it’s Rhett and Link chia heads. After Chia, Lincoln was our inspo for that, so if you’re not a member of the third degree please go sign up before the end of December to get your own Rhett and Link chia heads at MythicalSociety.com – It’s owning a piece of history. It’s the only way to get it and it has a backstory of, Good Mythical Morning wouldn’t exist without the Chia, without the Chia Lincoln. – The Chia, yeah. – And it’s a way to grow plants. (Stevie laughing) – Very good, Rhett, it is a way to grow plants. – A lot of people are scared about having non-fake plants in their homes, they’re worried they’re gonna kill them. And you know what, Chia is a great way to get started with plant growing. – And if the plant dies, you still have your face and your head. – That’s right, be’cause that part is not plant. – Exactly, it’s a win-win situation. – Right, first thing you do is when you grow a Chia first, and then you move to houseplants, and then you get a little greenhouse and you do hydroponics and then, the FBI shows up and busts you. – That’s why our next society gift is a police scanner. (Rhett laughs) – Oh gosh, now that, you wanna know why it’s a secret society, now you know. (Stevie laughing) – Okay, I said that we were gonna become cage decorators, it’s not really a cage, but it so, last year we decorated the mini-GMM set, like, Christmafied it and it’s officially after Thanksgiving so I thought it was time for us to decorate something else and for some reason the first thing that came to mind was Craig, our snake’s cage. – [Rhett] Oh not the snake. – He deserves it, like, he deserves a winter wonderland atmosphere. – Right, be’cause that reptilian brain can really take in all that decor. – Exactly and so I thought, let’s make Craig’s cage, I mean area. – Terr-area. – Tank, yeah, into a winter wonderland, and then I did what I usually do, i went onto YouTube and I started searching to see if anyone else had done this. Turns out, there is a whole world of people who theme decorate their animal’s cages. – [Rhett] Of course there is. – And do cage tours and tank tours, so– – Cage tours, that sounds like a trap. Oh, come let me give you a tour of my cage. (Rhett laughing) – (laughing) But, I didn’t find, they’re mostly like hamster-related in terms of winter wonderland theme. And of course it’s okay to borrow inspo, but I thought, like, let’s make Craig his own tank and then we’re gonna tour the hell out of it. – [Rhett] All right! – Let’s do it. – Okay, we’re here with a empty tank and a Craig. – Craig didn’t have to be here, I’m just saying that. He could’ve been somewhere else. – He needs to monitor the process. He has a very specific opinion about the way he wants his winter wonderland. – Oh you want him here? – No. – Well then hold him. – I don’t want him here. – And if I hold Craig, I don’t have to do any work. (Link laughs) – See, we got it all figured out, okay. – All right so I’ve got some winter wonderland snow. – Yes. – I’ve got a big– – And before, I’m sorry, before the comments start. – They have already started. – This is a fun activity for just right now and a Christmas photo that we’ll post on Instagram, but this is not Craig’s real tank. He has an epic tank that is not this, so please, please. – Oh, it’s a bit dusty. – He’s looking at you to make sure you say the right things about him. – Woo! – Thank you, Craig. – Now I made a snow drift right there. – Mm-hmm. – You like that, Craig? – Here. – Thank you. – We can fill out the bottom with some more, some more– – Look at that, snow, Craig. Room temperature snow. – Snow, don’t tell him the truth. – Look, we’ve got an igloo. – Ooh, Craig. – Don’t bust down the drifts, leave the drift. – You want– – We wanna have some elevation change. – I know, I’m saying like, do you wanna elevate– – Yeah, yeah, yeah. – In a corner area? – Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. Now where do you want the igloo? – How about– – In the low, low– – We seem to have a very specific, okay. – [Rhett] Craig, is that where you wanted the igloo? – He’s looking at me. – Okay. – Got some sort of a phallic tree limb here. – Yes. – This is be’cause we make Craig be by himself. – No, wait, let’s have a forest. – Do you wanna have a sad forest? Do you wanna happy forest? – Oh my god. – I think we need a happy forest. Craig, don’t you want a happy forest? He gave me two tongue wags, that was yes. – Yes, I think that we’re doing great so far. – I’m gonna work on some of this be’cause it’s tinsel and I’m a, I’m a menstrual for tinstel. – I think we need to decorate the– – My tinsel cycle. – We need to decorate the limb with some ornaments. (Link laughing) – You were really searching for that one. – Yeah. (laughing) (Link laughing) – All the words are somewhere, the joke is hidden somewhere in the amalgamation of, do we have any tapes? – I’m in the middle of my tinsel cycle. – Yes, we have some. – Oh, yeah. – [Stevie] We need some, perhaps some presents under the tree. – Oh, yeah. – You know, little mouse parts for Craig to open when he hungers. – Oh, yeah look at this, Craig. – Oh, you know what? – Is it Craig or Craeg? – It’s definately Craig. – Like Daniel Craig? (Stevie laughing) – You’re doing great. – Oh no. – Craig, nothing lasts forever. – Craig, don’t look, don’t look, don’t look, don’t look. – Like you just gotta grab it and– – Now I feel weird grabbing this. – Just give it a firm– – Yep. – Stop. – Now that’s glass, you don’t wanna bust it through glass. – Oop. – There we go. You know what, sometimes, don’t be embarrassed. – [Cameraman] You gotta wet it to make it stick. – Oh, Link? – Oh no. – Why don’t you lick that thing? (Stevie laughs) – How’s that Davin, is that what you wanted? That’s right, I got ya. – [Stevie] Come on. – [Cameraman] You gotta push on the outside too. There yeah go. – Yeah really– – [Stevie] Just. – [Cameraman] Grab it by the base. – [Stevie] Shut up! – [Cameraman] There you go. Wait, no that’s not it. – [Link] Shut up. (glass creaking) – [Rhett] Why are you having so much trouble with that? (hands clap) – Seems like somebody’s thirsty, and it’s Craig who needs some water. – Here you go. – And he has a very– – Here’s the not-est sponsored, non-sponsored water. – [Stevie] He has a peachy-themed, a winter mug of water. – Oh and check this out. We’ve also got a big mouth Billy bass, it’s a singing, can I activate this? – [Stevie] No, no, Craig, don’t do that to me. – Hey, he’s trying to lick you be’cause he loves you. ♪ And now I’m back ♪ ♪ Back on the plaque ♪ ♪ Don’t look surprised ♪ – Too much. ♪ Jingle Bells ♪ ♪ Oh, my scales ♪ ♪ I’m up here on the wall ♪ – (gasps) Your scales, Craig. ‘Cause it’s a scale song. – [Link] That works right there, what else do we have down here? – [Rhett] Craig seems to be very happy about what’s happening. – [Link] Oh, here’s a snow globe. – Yes, that is a Craig-specific snow globe. – Look how interested he is in the details. – This is a picture of Craig ”cause he’s a narcissist. – He’s looking right at his own picture. Look at that, Link. – On picture, own picture, mm-hmm. – Why are you guys so jumpy? – We’re humans, it’s snake, we scared. – I’m not, like, loving this thing in like in the way that I want to hold my dog. – [Stevie] He’s pointed at us. – I like it more than a cat, don’t get me wrong. – I feel like we need to put the menorah in– – Diversify? – Yep, be’cause it’s a winter wonderland, non-denominational, but two denominations. (cameraman laughs) – So just. – This is really– – Just Judaism and Chrisianity – (laughing) Yeah, this– – We got this right here that’ll go on the other side here – It’s a little. – Craig are you okay with– – Crowded. Oh my God, he’s coming. – Are you okay with Judaeo-Christian religious symbology? I mean, ”cause really, in that story you’re a pretty bad dude. (laughing) (cameraman laughing) – He’s– – I hate to break it to you, but you’re kinda like the antagonist of the whole thing right from the beginning. (all laugh) – The one, your one job is to be holding him, but you’re not holding him because he’s coming towards me and he’s slithering around. – [Link] What else do we have? – [Stevie] We need to give it a little– – [Rhett] Craig, Craig, Craig, where you goin, bro? Where you you goin? – Oh, where is he going? – He’s trying to go in your butt crack, I think. – No! (cameraman laughing) – Is he? – Well, he’s. At this point I don’t really know what I’m doing. – See look, you don’t really look too comfortable either, mister symbology. – Okay, we need to give the whole cage a background that is down there. – Oh yeah, you’re right, we got that. – Look he likes the way this snow landscape– Landscape! (cameraman laughing) – He likes you so much, Stevie. – Stevie, I’m afraid of him too. I’m just glad you’re in between me and him. – He came up and looked at me in my eyes. In a way that I did not like. – He looked right through your soul. – Oh look at this, it’s snowing, Craig. – Craig, (laughing) okay I’m gonna put– – Look at that. – [Stevie] This facade up. – [Rhett] Let me help you out here. – You remember those snakes that wrapped around us while we were doing yoga? And the one the lady had just crapped all over the floor? – I’ve never seen a snake poop like that before. – It was so crazy. – It was a lot of poop. – Yeah, there’s so much poop. – Guys, I think we’ve made a terrific terrarium! – You ready to put Craig in? – Yes, I’m ready to put, well, oh, yes. I think I am and then lets get our. – How does this look? – Well, Craig, how do you, what do I, Craig. You’re wrapped around me so tightly, dude. – Does it look nice? – Oh what, oh no, we forgot– – I don’t think that looks nice. No this is for, well I don’t want him to get confused. – Just unwrap him? – [Woman] Just unwrap him, you’ll be okay. – Jingle Craig, Jingle Craig, Jingle Craig the tree. – Now we’re going to have to do our. – Craig, come on bro. – Tour. – Come on just. – So you gonna cinematographize this? – Yeah. – I’m trying to be gentle with you bro. – You know, it might be easier to handle him if I just snip him in half. – No, no, no. – There’s a lot of panic from the back. – Make two snakes. – [Rhett] Here we go, okay, Craig. Again this is just temporary. He’s not gonna be here very long. – [Stevie] Is he in a knot? – [Rhett] Well, he’ll figure it out, I’m sure. – Oh he looks beautiful in there. – Okay. – Where he can’t get to me anymore. – Okay, ready? – I put him in there in a very weird position and he’s just like, I’m gonna freeze. – We’re gonna start on selfies, we’re starting– – I’m ready. – Rhett, we’re starting our tour. – Hey. – It’s not on. (Rhett laughing) – Look, you haven’t done jack and now– – I’ve been holding the snake! – You wanna take over the vlog? – You guys won’t even touch it. – Shh. – We’ve been working freaking hard man, don’t try to take the credit. – [Together] Hey. – I’ve been holding the snake. – Hey guys. We’re here to give you a tour of our terrarium that we two have worked hard on. – I was holding the snake. – It’s Good Mythical Cage Decoration and today we have, can I, does it go into the other, I can’t– – No you gotta edit. – You gotta hit stop. – Okay. And today we’re gonna give you a tour of Craig’s– – New cage. – New space – Guys, he has not moved a millimeter since I set him down. – Oh. – [Stevie] Okay, ready? – I don’t think he likes his winter wonderland. – [Stevie] This is Craig and this is his winter wonderland cage that we’ve made him for the season. – [Rhett] Oh okay, he’s turning to you. When you talk about it, I think it makes him like it. – [Stevie] Craig likes talking and Craig loves snow. So what we– – Hold on, is this the way people on the videos talk? Is that what you’re doing? – Yes, yes. So what we’ve done is we’ve created a magical wonderland for Craig to explore but only for a little bit so that you don’t get mad. – [Link] That’s Craig right there, there’s his head, there’s his head. – [Rhett] I’ve touched him a lot today. – [Stevie] For the water bowl, we’ve chosen to go with a mug that Davin grabbed a couple minutes ago. – He just inspected the phallic wood thing. – Watch out for the– – [Stevie] This is, oh, that’s really coming at the camera. – [Link] Get a good shot of the globe. – [Stevie] This is– (Link hisses) Oh! – You want me to hold the camera closer to him? Are you scared of him? – We’re giving a cage tour, not a snake tour. – Okay, all right. – [Stevie] This is a tree limb that we’ve decorated very nicely with some ornaments. – Where’s his head? (Link hisses) – You’re supposed to get scared of that. – I gotta go around. – [Rhett] Well, he’s about to leave his winter wonderland behind. – [Stevie] Craig is going into the mountains as you can see. – [Link] No, he’s checking out his menorah, ’cause he’s– – Jewish. – Oh that’s a perfect title for this video, a Jewish snake reveal. No that sounds anti-semitic. (cameraman laughs) (Rhett laughs) And (laughs) we have also got Craig a snow globe that has his own face on it and a photo of him that I will zoom in on now. – [Rhett] Look at him, look at him, look at him. – Look at him. – I think he’s looking for his other terrarium. – That’s it buddy, if you don’t like it, you just get out of there on your own. – [Stevie] Okay, I don’t think Craig likes what we’ve made him. – If you like these videos, don’t forget to subscribe and click the bell, and leave a comment with what you want us to do next holiday. – I’ll be holding the snake, that’s me. – Okay, well that went well and I think Craig really likes it, so that’s great. Jenna, could you please come and get Craig. – [Jenna] Yes. – He’s gonna go back to his real happy place. Which is his other terrarium. – Thank you Craig, thank you Jenna. Okay, I know that was a lot. – Oh yes. – But– – So intense. – When Kelly Rowland, which is the next sentence that is coming out of my mouth after we did this– – Kelly Rowland. – Was on the show this week, you guys played a little game where you picked a popular Christmas carol and then a pop singer and then you pop-singer-ified that Christmas carol. You remember, it was only like a day ago. – [Together] Yeah, yeah, yeah. – There were two things left, two ornaments left. This ornament box that says, “Up on the Housetop” the top’s missing. – Up on the house? – Up on the house, we couldn’t afford to tape out the top. – It must be the new version of Up on the Housetop. – And the ornament, Blink-182, so I figured hey, this would be a great opportunity for us to do a little sing bonding.
