being your Mythical best. So we're gonna get into some
matching Mythical team members to their favorite cocktail. And as they come in, just
wanna remind you guys that we're gonna be in London in concert in, I wanna say
November, but it's February 15th. - Yeah maybe-- - So go to rhettandlinklive.com. We're gonna be in St. Louis, Columbus, DC, and the Nashville area in April. Same website, rhettandlinklive.com. So if you know people in those areas, Mythical Beasts, be sure to let 'em know. See us in concert, we got
some music happening, guys. - Okay you gotta pass me my--
- Woo. - I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
- My wiener cocktail. - Oh my God, looks nice. - Link, you gotta pass me
my wiener cocktail there. - Oh my God.
- So Rhett, Rhett you lost, you get yourself a-- - Ew!
- It's the politest clap I've ever done.
- A wiener cocktail. - Yum. - What a bad color.
- Sorry. - Yeah it is the color of flesh. - Yes. - It looks like a strawberry
smoothie I've made for myself. - Strawberry banana. - I bet it tastes like strawberries. - (mimics slurping) It's so good, guys! - Oh my gosh.
- Wait a minute, you're using an optical
illusion to trick us. - Only on us though 'cause
everyone else can see. - Do you like it?
- Oh. You put a lot of booze in there that almost makes it tolerable. (all chuckling) - [Josh] Brandy. - What's that?
- It's Brazilian brandy. - Oh it's the Brazilian brandy. - Yum.
- Those Brazilians and their brandy.
- Let's quickly move on to someone else's favorite cocktail. - You take more than one sip. - Keep sippin' that throughout. Now, we're gonna try this, I assume. - And it's what that is called
on that card right there. - Yeah so first of all,
boy that looks nice. Grapefruit. - Mm. - Mm that's good. What's in that?
- With a salty rim. - This is what they call a paloma. - Oh, paloma. - Favorite city in Florida.
- Is it really? - But is it your favorite drink? - I like that, I like
the bite of a grapefruit. My aunt Vicky would-- - Forgot we were playing a game. - Eat a grapefruit there with her, with some salt on it,
sitting in her recliner. She's probably doing it right now. It's cutting a grapefruit
in half, take a spoon and a salt shaker, she was
having at it, watching Jeopardy. - Mm-hmm.
- I have a great aunt Paloma. - God rest her soul.
- I bet her and Aunt Vicky would get along swimmingly. - You know a lot of people
did that but they put sugar and not salt. She may have been putting
sugar and not salt and you just thought it was
salt because you were a kid and you didn't taste it. - Well I'm not a kid now. - Oh she still does it and you taste it? - You're right, I am a kid now. - You lick your aunt's grapefruit? - When she's done, yeah. She doesn't like me to--
- I'm giving this to Ellie. - That's a southern thing
putting salt on fruit. - Yeah I'm pretty sure it's salt. - I'm giving that to Ellie.
- Thank you. - Why?
- It is. You put it on cantaloupe, watermelon. - 'Cause who knows at this point. - You seem like grapefruit
would be something that you'd like. - Okay.
(Rhett laughs) - But you're offended by that. - It just doesn't make any sense. - It's a strategy. This is a really canny strategy. - You gotta start somewhere.
- What characteristic does being into grapefruit-- - Rhett, before you answer that, fall for her trap. I think you're already right
that she's feigning offense. - That's right.
- Inexplicably. - There's nothing offensive about being-- - Exactly.
- I think what Rhett meant is that grapefruit is a
brave, hard-working fruit. - Wow!
(crew clapping) - Yes. - Bravest fruit.
- That's exactly what I meant, Jordan.
- Thank you, Jordan. - I was just fishing for
something and you gave me the confirmation that I needed, Ellie. - Can I have a straw? - So next we've got, sure
you can have a straw. - Thank you.
- See you wanna drink it. - Next we got bourbon,
bourbon with bitters. With Budweiser. - Bourbon with bitters with Budweiser. - So who likes drinking so much their favorite drink is two drinks? (Rhett laughs) I don't think you're supposed to mix 'em. - I'm not saying this is mine-- - I think it's a chaser.
- Or anyone else's-- - Oh really?
- Yeah-- - But nobody's ever done that ever. - [Jordan] I think it's
like a boilermaker. - Just go ahead and take it, Alex. - I was not supposed to mix that. - Yeah. (laughing)
- Oh ho ho. Oh, okay.
- How am I supposed to know? - You know how you have
like a shot and a chaser? That's kinda what that is. - Yeah.
- But you just put it all together in one big gulp. - Seems like Jordan knows about that. - Yeah yeah yeah.
- There we go. - Maybe that's just a
general drinking knowledge. - Hold on, you want that to go to Jordan? - I just wanna taste it.
- Okay. - I've screwed it up, I might as well. (Jordan laughs)
I've crapped in my pants, I might as well smush it. - So now it's whiskey and beer together. - (laughs) Smush it.
- My God. - Oh try that, Rhett. Hey, that's not the way that
it was supposed to be done. - There's a name for what that is though. - Yeah me in 2010.
- Yeah, right. - It's called a college! We're never gonna die. - This tastes like rebellion. - We ran out of soda.
- I'm gonna give that to Alex. - I think it's actually
called a boilermaker. - Ah, a boilermaker.
- That's when you drop it. That's when you drop it in. - Oh yeah, see this is his. Okay, what's the next one, what's that-- - We're giving that to Alex?
- Yeah. - Yeah, why not?
- Why not, man? - Why not? Here you go.
- Oh. - All right so this, oh that's hot, Rhett. - Oh is this a hot toddy? - Hot toddy. Hot toddy.
- Mm. - Good for the throat.
- I like a hot toddy as well. - When you got that sore throat happening, you order yourself a hot
toddy and you sit back in the corner and it's
like turn the music down! I'm sick! (crew laughing) - This is interesting to be
someone's favorite drink. - Yeah that's--
- It's a good drink. But to be your favorite
alcoholic beverage. What does that say about someone? - That you're backed up. (Rhett chuckles) - It's like if they liked grapefruits. (Rhett laughs) - Is it--
- Somebody who needs to get drunk to deal with Christmas I guess. - Yeah, it's someone who
doesn't wanna go home-- - What do you mean backed up?
- For the holidays. - I feel like a hot
toddy, you've got liquor and hot water and lemon
juice, that's like a laxative. - It's supposed to clean out
your nose and stuff right? - Oh so I seem backed
up, thank you very much. - Well you knew all the ingredients. - [Emily] Can I have a straw? - And you said 'em from memory like that. - I think there's something else in there, is there honey and tea? - Are you backed up right now? - No actually.
- Let's all go around. How's everyone's bowel movements? Whose stools are the firmest? - [Emily] Woo, that's
got a lot in there, man. - [Ellie] I've been really regular lately. - I'm surprised.
- You're not messing around. - You know it's supposed to float. - Now this isn't complicated. - Yeah yeah if it doesn't
float, you've got a problem. It should float.
- Oh no! (Rhett laughs) If my doctor is watching,
my turds are sinking! (Emily laughs)
- How do you correct? - Less gluten?
- Supposed to float and then what? - And then they're supposed
to go down when you flush. - It'll sink eventually,
I think you're okay. - More what, like more--
- You need more fiber if they're not floating. - Okay okay.
- And if it doesn't go down when you flush, something's
wrong with your toilet. - That's true. - What do we got here,
is that an Old Fashioned? - Certainly our toilet's next door. (laughing) - All right it's got a cherry on top, so. - That's an inside joke, that's
sort of behind-the-scenes-- - Maker's Mark.
- Joke anthem. - 46 in a Manhattan. - Mm. - We got a Maker's Mark 46 Manhattan. - Really sophisticated. - I don't know what this tastes like. - To me that tastes like an Old Fashioned. I actually don't necessarily
know the difference. That's exactly how you're
supposed to drink it too. - Why? (Link winces) - I think Link's having his
first drinks of alcohol today. (laughing) Like your uncle at
Thanksgiving, I'm like here, have a taste of this. Don't tell your mom. - Yeah, yeah. It's true, I don't know what drinks are and I don't--
- You've never even seen them. That's a stretch. - You give me two drinks,
I just put 'em together. - What are drinks, guys?
(Jordan laughs) - I think this is Jordan.
- What are drinks? - Based on what? It's a square cube.
- I feel like-- - Are you saying he's a square? - Whoa, come on dude. - I feel like it's a little sophisticated. - I'll chill. - But I could also, I could
also see Ellie liking that Old Fashioned style drink. 'Cause it's, I think she's
got some sophistication. You know the kind of
sophistication that requires grapefruit in the cocktail. - I think you just said
everyone's sophisticated and then just handed me
the Bud Light and whiskey. - You guys, these are all
just like kinda brown water. - Yeah, well that's
pretty much what it is. - Without knowing anything about drinks, but knowing much about
our beloved team members, I would say that we are wrong about Ellie. I know for a fact we're wrong about Ellie. - Wow. - Well not for, I don't know for a fact. I feel that strongly. - Okay. - I think... - You drank like half of it. (Ellie chuckles) - I think we're switching here. I actually think, and you can-- - I don't disagree with--
- And then-- - You're gonna give Alex the hot toddy? - And I am sober. You're welcome.
- This is the one I don't know. So this is just, I don't know who that is. Who do you think the hot toddy is? I've left it with Alex
'cause I felt decent about-- - I don't think it's Alex. I don't think Alex's favorite
drink is a hot toddy. - We should all take the straws out. - Not yet, not yet. - That's just my--
- Switch these. No, give Ellie the hot toddy. You think Ellie--
- I will say that there's a famous Taylor Swift lyric that features the Old
Fashioned but that's neither for me or against me,
I'm just telling you-- - This isn't an Old Fashioned. - I just wanna check--
- But it is a lot like it. Okay, you know what, I felt pretty good about the initial guesses
but you know what, we're not playing for a
million bucks or anything, so let's just reveal, starting with Alex. - Yeah this is mine. (cheering and clapping) The difference is vermouth. That's a big difference
between an Old Fashioned and a Manhattan. - Okay.
- Wow. - And that difference
means the world to you. - Yeah. I'm just gonna--
- Why do you like it so much? (Alex slurps) - Ooh!
- Yo! - Yeah!
- I'm a cool guy. (Jordan laughs) It's been a long day.
- I'm a cool guy! - That definitely wasn't
hard for you to say. - I thought about saying
that, I'm like meh, mid-drink I was like I'm trying too hard. - You basically did. You basically did. - Why are your eyes watering?
- I'm just gonna drink half of this right now.
- So hold on. So what's in an Old
Fashioned that's not in that? - This has also vermouth. So it's just another liquor
but it's bitters and whiskey. - Let's save Ellie for last. Let's go with Jordan. - This is not my drink. The paloma is my drink.
- The paloma? - I had most of it.
- Yeah. Yeah.
- I knew it wasn't Ellie's. - Yeah I'm a tequila guy. Usually do a tequila and club soda but when I'm feeling a little bit fun I say make it a paloma. (Rhett and crew laugh) - Do you do that with your arm? - I sure do! - [Alex] Paloma.
(laughing) - You know you can make this with Squirt. - I do know that. - 'Cause it's a grapefruit
juice, yeah, it's grapefruit. - [Link] Squirt is grapefruit juice. - [Rhett] I knew you had
insight into grapefruit drinks. - Yeah. - I think it's a grapefruit flavor-- - Okay what about the hot toddy? - Oh you got it! - (laughs) Okay. - So this drink comes
from my 21st birthday where I got so smashed before
we actually got to the bar at midnight and I went
up to the bartender, and he was like, "Oh it's your birthday. "Birthday girl," 'cause I
was wearing a big tiara, and he was like, okay drinks on the house for you and your friends.
- Wow. - An he was like, whatever
you want, what do you want? And I didn't know cocktail
names 'cause I was freshly 21 and I went, "Hot toddies! "Hot toddies all around!" - Hot toddies for everybody! - He was like, what? But then he made like five
full teacups of hot toddies. - There were only five people in the bar? - Well it was, my birthday's in May. I was in college so I was like home-- - So it was summertime--
- Don't make her defend that! - Yeah it was summertime and
we were drinking hot toddies. - Wow.
(Emily laughing) - And Emily--
- So. - I thought free drinks
all around meant everybody at the bar but that's wrong. - No just for my party.
- This is not it. - Just for your party.
- Yeah yeah. It was what it was
before Link messed it up. - I am gonna try it just to find out 'cause this is how it ends up. But--
(Rhett laughs) So why not? But no I like to have little
rye whiskey with bitters on the rocks on the side
and then a Budweiser. - Oh. - So if I want a ride at the bar, no one will bother you at the
bar if you got two drinks. They can't buy you any more drinks. - Oh, nice. And so do you alternate back and forth or do you go through one--
- Yeah do a little bit of both back and forth. I don't shoot it, I like to sip it. - Okay.
- You're classy. (Rhett laughs) - I don't know I think this
is the one that's like, mm, yikes, maybe we should have a conversation out of everybody else's, yeah no I sip. I am classy. - I feel like you're gonna be a fun mom. - Or a cool step-dad, one or the other. Can I have my Budweiser, please? (laughing) - [Rhett] Now you can dink
it and sink it with a friend using this double-sided mug. Friend not included, available
now at Mythical.store.
