- We said what? - Let's talk about that. (bright upbeat music) (fire crackling) (air whooshes) - "Good Mythical Morning!" - As we have discussed before, human memories are highly unreliable and they're susceptible
to being influenced and altering all sorts of unexpected ways, at least I think we've
discussed that before (snaps). - In fact, there are a number of instances of us saying things on this show, and then many of you have pointed out that we've contradicted ourselves
using previous episodes. - No, no. - So today, we gonna lean into that. We're gonna test how well
we can accurately remember things that we've said on GMM. It's time for: As humans we have many faults, but will our memories turn out false? Shout out to actor Christoph Waltz. - You just rhyme false with faults. - That's right.
- But then Waltz. - Waltz, that's all-- - Okay, here's what we're gonna do. We've dug up some old
GMM clips of one another in which we gave a strong opinion or belief about something very specific, and before we reveal each clip, we're gonna give each
other the opportunity to try to remember what we said, and then we're gonna play the clip and see how great or
terribly our merv., memory. (murmurs)
Murmury. - You don't remember how to say memory? - Memory have served us. - This is also a competition. So the winner will receive a
one-of-a-kind memory foam comb. - Oh that sounds nice. - Alright, I'm gonna test
your memory first okay? - It's like a steel trap. - Here we go. Alright, Rhett, in May 2014. - Oh good month. - You once proclaimed that
no one should ever tweet using the hashtag
blank-life as in #mottolife, #musicianlife, #bigbootylife. - Oh yeah, that's so annoying. - With one notable exception. Well, I'll accept one, but you actually gave
three notable exceptions. If you can remember any one of those, I'll give you the point. - I think this is somebody
who what they do matters, matters more than all the people
that just, you just listed. - Mm-hmm. - And it's like notable and people would actually want to know. So I'm just gonna go back
into that part of my brain. - Right, go in that part of your brain. - An astronaut. - If you saw somebody tweet, okay astronaut, #astronautlife. - Why y'all laughing,
that's a good answer. It must not be the right one, but I'm going with astronaut because it seems something
that like I would be into that. - Alright, let's go back to May 2014 and see if he remembers correctly. - Don't hashtag anything with-- - Or maybe it's Kylie. - life in it, like model-life. I see this all, actor-life. - You see this all the time? - Musician-life. Yeah people are like oh
writing songs 3:00 a.m. Whatever comes to me, musicians-life. Come on now, really? Now unless you're an animal, 'cause if you're like doing
something very dolphin-like at 3:00 a.m. and you're like dolphin-life, I'm into that. - If you're a dolphin. - If you're a dolphin. or I think maybe a gorilla or a chimpanzee has probably tweeted. Dolphin, gorillas, you're sitting on that. (buzzard buzzes)
Do you remember that? You don't get a point. Sadly, I do not remember that, Link. - Yeah, it's weird, I don't. We do a lot, we say a lot, and we seem pretty passionate about it. - Alright, Link, in August, 2014, - Mm-hmm. - you once shared a rule involving personal space on the subway. You said if two people are
crammed so close together on the subway that their
bodies are touching in more than two places,
something must happen. - And my first thought is
you must say something. You must acknowledge the closeness, But maybe I said you must keep silent. (studio members laugh) I don't even know what I
would have thought back then, but right now I would say you must keep silent, but you know what, I think I said you must
acknowledge the touching. So I'm going with acknowledge to touching, but I'm a different man now. Alright, let's watch the clip. - If you are touching more than two places with an individual that you do not know, like are their shoulder
touch, there's a knee touch, and there's like a wrist touch because like we're slammed
together in a subway. - It's kinda weird. We wouldn't sit like this probably. - In a crowded subway, you might. I feel like at this point the rule is you have to talk to them. - Hey, man. - But you should do it with an
apologetic look on your face. - I'm sorry, where you from? - Hey, I actually live in the subway. (laughing together) Hey, I got it right. - Alright, that's right.
(bell dings) - And I would not speak to anyone now. I would not take my own rule. - You didn't add the apologetic tone, but that was pretty good. I mean you basically remembered it. You have to acknowledge
it and talk to them. - I feel like I guess
I've grown as a person, and I got a point which is more important. - Give me one. - I'm gonna give you one, but first I'm gonna plug this sweatshirt. (studio members laugh) Feel Good Mythical Morning. You wanna feel good in a sweatshirt, - That's a nice sweatshirt. - Then get this at mythical.com. I was thinking, a lot of people say watching this show makes them feel good. I was like, we should put that on a shirt, and the shirt should feel good. - Yeah, it's very soft.
- We've done it. It's three-dimensional, the lettering. It's not just printed, but like you can feel the feel goodness. - Right. - Pretty happy about it. It's great on a construction site too. - Right, or what about biking at night. - Alright, you've given a
number of parenting tips on this show. There's one thing you said, never do. Oh no, you said you never
do it with your kids because you believe it's bad parenting, and that dads who do it are quote losers. What is that thing? This is from August, 2017. So it's not as far back
as these other ones. - Dads who do this thing are losers? - Yep, you never do this with your kids. Dads who do it are losers. - (laughs) The thing is is that - Yep. - I don't know what part
of my brain to go into. - Right. I don't know if is it the part that I was actually
saying something I think or the 99% of time I'm just BS-ing. - Boy, that's progress. 99% of the time he's BS-ing. - I think it has something to do with like calling your child your like best friend or something like that.
(studio member laughs) I know that sounds harsh, but you're not, it's not your best friend, it's your son, and you're the dad. They have friends, you have friends. I mean you have a friendly relationship. Did I say something like that? - Let's find out. - That's pretty harsh. - I've never really looked
at my children's toys. (studio members laugh) I don't believe in that. I believe that's bad parenting when you get down on their
level and you play with them. I've never thought that. Whenever I see a dad doing that, I'm like oh what a loser. - Getting down on your kid's
level and playing with them. (buzzard buzzes)
Yeah, I still believe that. - It was even harsher
than what you guessed. You don't get a point. - Dang it, this is hard! Okay.
- Alright. In August, 2016, at one point on the show you discussed the concept
of the uncanny valley. Essentially the closer
someone resembles a human or something resembles a human the more humans are
creeped out by that thing. You proposed the theory as to why humans would be creeped out by humanoid robots. What was the theory? - This is the level of thinking that I didn't know I ever did. - I think you just gotta
go back to that place. That's what you did for
the first one, you just. Don't try to remember what you said. Just think about what you would say now. - I think it's that you're
afraid of being intimate with something that's not really human. - Play the clip. - I think even more so
it's mate selection. I think deep down whenever we
look at something like a robot we're asking ourselves do
I wanna mate with that. (laughs) I'm not saying consciously. I'm saying subconsciously,
you're always thinking do you want to mate
with fill in the blank. I did not remember that.
(bell dings) - That is crazy. - But I just thought about what I would have thought of about, and I rethought it.
- It's the exact same thing. - Again, it's the concussion thing. It's like whenever I got hit in the head, and I kept coming to, I
kept saying the same thing. Hold on, I'm just coming to. Evidently I've hurt my left hip. No matter how many times I came to, I said the exact same thing. - Well, there's no way I'm
gonna win this one. (laughs) - In November of 2013. - So that's a long time ago. - You and I each made our own mind maps, pictorial representation
of a set of goals. You remember that? - Mm-hmm. - Do you? - Yeah, because you've got
a question about it as well. - Oh, okay. - So I remembered it when
I looked at the question. - Your mind map set a list of
more than 10 lifelong goals. How many of these goals can you remember? I'll accept three. - I thought the mind map
was a day in the life of, but you're saying it was,
this is lifelong goals. - Yeah. - Fly an ultralight. - Visit Antarctica. - What else would you have wanted to do? - There's so many things that I wanna do. - Since then, you may
have done one of them. - This is 2013? - Mm-hmm. - Something with beans? - Something with beans, he says. (studio members laugh) I think you need to be more specific. - Like bathe in a giant thing of beans? - Okay, there's your answer so. Visiting Antarctica, bathe
in beans, and the first one? - Fly an ultralight. - Fly an ultralight, let's see. - I wanna hunt for that
treasure in the Rocky Mountains that we talked about. I would like to learn how to
become a master cheese maker. I would like to be a mayor of a very small town at some point. - For the water tower. - I would like to live
on an island by myself for just a short period of time where I am trained in hand-to-hand combat, and then when I come back
I am a superhero for hire. I would also as I-- - Looks a lot like the Flash. - As I stated in past episodes
of the 200-year-old person, I would like to live inside
of a hollowed-out tree at some point, and then
I would like to die while performing amazing
stunts at a monster truck rally late in life. I'm added the fact that I
would also like to do research, intense research on
renewable energy sources because I feel like that-- - 'Cause you have time for that. - That's the key to the future. - With everything else
that you're not gonna do. - And in this part of my life where I am becoming a master cheese maker, I'm gonna have a lot of
milk that I'm dealing with, and I would like you to be a butter maker, that's a (laughs), and we can go in 50/50, and I'll make the cheese
and you make the butter. It'll be called Rhett
and Link's Dairy Farm. I just, there's just,
(buzzard buzzes) I have too many things that I want to do. I can't narrow it down. I didn't even get one of them right. - No, you didn't. - I said Antarctica, which is an island. - No, it's not, it's a continent. - But it is an island,
an island continent. - Surrounded by water? - It's an island continent
just like Australia. - Australia's not an island, is it? - But I wouldn't get a point anyway. I didn't get three. - Yeah, that's right. But you remembered the monster truck. - Let's see if we can keep
your streak alive, Link. - Okay. - You also made a mind map. - Yes. - Your mind map illustrated what you wanted to
achieve in a single day. So that was why I thought that. So you went with the day,
I went with a lifetime. Can you remember what was in
the middle of your mind map? This is November, 2013. - Mine ended with monster trucks, and that's the amazing thing
that happened in that episode was that we were both,
that was the overlap. We were both doing something
with monster trucks, and then I think I died in
a monster truck accident. That's my answer, died in
a monster truck accident. - The middle of your mind map was you dying in a monster truck accident. That's all I can remember right now. - Okay, let's watch the clip. - I made my mind map, and here it is, Rhett. Of course you can see right in the center you have my eyeball, and because I want to see today. - You started with an eyeball? So the central idea of your
eye, of today is your eyeball. - I want to see today. - I technically think, I mean that's okay. If it works for you, man, just do it. I don't want to critique your mind map. - I do want to see today,
(buzzard buzzes) but what happened to
my monster truck death? - Again.
- That was a different? - You are dead at the end of it, but I think that it was
a different episode, but the thing that was
super ironic was the fact that you also had cheese on your mind map. - Oh. - I had cheese, and you had cheese. - Oh, I do want to see today. I think that's a great way to live. - Go ahead. - Alright. - I got to get one of these right. - Believe it or not, Rhett, at one point you gave a strong
opinion on what you think Tom Cruise's ballsack is like. How did you describe Tom Cruise's
ballsack in March of 2018? - Not a wrinkle on it, just
as smooth as a baby's bottom. - You seem confident. It seems like you think about this often, like you're not accessing a memory but something that's very present for you. - I mean not one crease. Like if you dropped a drop of water on Tom Cruise's ballsack
it'd be like dropping water on a duck's back, it just swoosh. Tom Cruise's ballsack is hydrophobic. - Be still, boop, boop. Alright, let's see if he's right. - This celebrity gets laser treatment to smooth out wrinkles, remove hair, and correct discoloration
of the testicles, also nicknamed ball irony. Here's why it is Tom Cruise, Rhett. Because this is urban legend type stuff. This is something that
comes out of Scientology, like somebody escapes,
and then they're like, and you know what else he does? This! - I think that Tom Cruise
has got a tight ballsack. I mean he's probably got
the tightest ballsack of any 55 year old man
or however old he is. - You didn't say tight. You said smooth.
- Smooth. - You said wrinkleless. - Give me a point, man. - But you remembered the ironing, and so that's why you thought, but I can't give you the point
'cause you didn't say tight. - No, but it's so tight that
it's like it's pulled tight over the testes and it's smooth. There's not a wrinkle. But you didn't say the word tight. - Just give me a point, I can't win. - I'll give him half a point
(bell dings) because he didn't say. - Well, if you get this wrong, you should automatically lose because this is the easiest
one that you've got. In September, 2013, when
explaining your opinion on why things are funny,
you described laughter in a very specific way. You said laughter is like blank. Can you remember what you
said laughter is like? - I only remember this 'cause
it pops up occasionally. - Right, this is one,
unlike every other one, we've re-accessed this this many times. - Yeah, so I can't take
credit for remembering this. I remember other people
remembering it on a regular basis but laughter is like
farting out of your mouth. - Play the clip. - I think things are funny because the whole
principle of comic relief. Tension builds up. Tension builds up in your body. - Right in here. - I don't mean to go, I
don't mean to go here, but. - You're going to. - But tension builds up and you fart, and then if you've, like so laughter is like farting
out of your mouth. (laughs) Put that a t-shirt. - I'm gonna tell you right
now, that would be funny. (laughs) I don't know why it would,
but I can tell you right now. - It's a release of tension. - Laughter is like a fart from your mouth. (laughs) - It is. - Put it on t-shirt. It is.
(bell dings) - We never did. - I'm gonna give you another
half a point just because (bell dings)
I'm seeing the moment. What's that that I was trying to do? See the moment, be in the moment. See the now. - I appreciate it, but that doesn't give
me more points than you. You got three out of four. You win the memory foam
comb, congratulations. - Thank you for subscribing

Maybe my memory is bad, but it seems like it's been a long time since there was an episode where they just talked. I enjoyed this.
This makes me miss, even more, when every single episode wasn't a game. I keep hoping that some day there will be an episode that isn't a game or food. One where they just talk about something for 10 minutes.
Hold on. I'm just coming to. Evidently, I've hurt my left hip.
