6 Unlikely Superheroes

How many half-naked dog catchers does it take to solve a crime? (hesitantly) Let's talk about that? ♪ (musical theme) ♪ Good morning mythical! On Thursdays we like to sit back, relax and do a little fishing. We cast our lines and hope we can catch some question trout, and then we reel them in. You see, we're human fishermen, so we take those questioning trout, put some answers in them, and then release them again to continue the beautiful cycle all over again. (silence) Is that it or are you done with your crazy analogy, which I didn't quite understand? - That's the circle of life.

We asked you guys to ask us for advice on friendship, which has nothing to do with naps or whatever you're doing here. Nothing to do with naps at all. The first question, from Btres Cox, is: "What do you do if you and your friend fight over a girl?" Well, Bthree, we have good news for you because, first of all, most relationships end. And I would go so far as to say that almost every relationship that takes place in middle or high school will come to an end. - Oh! So take your turn. Just wait your turn.

I mean, that's certainly what we did. I remember in sixth grade I wanted to date Leslie Peebles. I mean, I didn't want to date her. I just wanted to go with her because that's what you called it. So one day I was in the library. I remember exactly where I was sitting when Maurice came up to me and said, "Rhett is going with Leslie Peebles." And I said, "Pffth. Now I have to wait my turn." I wonder why Maurice had to tell you and not me. - We had a strange relationship. - (Link laughs) Yes. We communicate through Maurice.

Maybe you didn't know if he would make me angry, but I wasn't. I was like, "I have to wait my turn." But then I started going with Amber as my second girlfriend after Leslie was my first girlfriend after she was your first girlfriend. But I had to wait my turn for Amber, who was also my second girlfriend. - (Link) But second after me. - (Rhett) But second after you. So I was the first in the first and you were the first in the second. - And look! - It was totally good! We are all friends. Well not really.

We're still friends. And we talk about them all the time, which is strange. - But let's try to leave it behind! - So wait your turn. Don't make it uncomfortable. This is not about us. It's about you. - Wait your turn. - Okay, now it's time to visit another strange website in a segment we call "The Internet is a Strange Place!" Thanks to our friends at Squarespace. You know what we do. We would like to introduce you to a strange website and this week we will explore a website that embodies the pinnacle of friendship. Sharing the same first girlfriend and sharing the same second girlfriend.

No, that is a sign of friendship, but it is not the pinnacle. It is not the pinnacle. - The top is to fight crime together! - Well. This website is called TheyFightCrime.net and of course it was submitted to TheInternetIsAWeirdPlace.com. Let's go there right now. Basically, it takes two unsuspecting characters and brings them together into a crime-fighting duo. Which is amazing! Like... "he's a kleptomaniac paleontologist who lives in the sewers beneath London!" (Link) "She's a fast-talking paper folder who has a terrible skin condition." (Rhett and Link) "Together they fight crime!" (Link) "she is a forgetful and misunderstood novelist with a backpack full of buns." (Rhett) "She's a half-naked dog catcher from the wrong side of the tracks!" (Rhett and Link) "Together they fight crime!" (Link) "she is a web developer who belly dances and is terrified of onions." (Rhett) "She is a forgetful children's entertainer prone to fits of blood-crazed rage." (Rhett and Link) "Together they fight crime!" You could do this all day.

And we will, but it's one thing to just read these things and another thing to bring them to life. - Oh! ♪ (action music) ♪ (page turn) (Rhett) He's a condescending barber who speaks only in binary code. 001011111100. (Link) She is a time-traveling dairy farmer with a magical ham sandwich in her pocket! (German accent) Where will this ham sandwich take me next? Only time will tell. (shining bells) (Rhett) Together... (Rhett and Link) They fight crime! ♪ (action music) ♪ (page turn) (Link) he is a dumb firefighter who loves bananas. Hey, what is this? A banana? I love bananas! (Rhett) She's a communist receptionist with no thumbs.

Who says you need opposable thumbs to end capitalism? (Rhett) Together... (Rhett and Link) They fight crime! ♪ (action music) ♪-(whistles)-(Rhett) She's an overworked lifeguard and Nobel Prize winner with her own daytime television talk show. You! Get a new life jacket! And you get a new life jacket! I am so tired. (Link) He is a cyborg chef crazy about disco music and possessed by the spirit of his mother! (robotically) No one will remain alive tonight. (buzzing) (arching) (like mom) Don't forget to eat your vegetables! (Rhett) Together... (Rhett and Link) They fight crime! (turns page) Uh, I don't recommend possession.

It's not good for the neck. (robotically) No, it's not.

Another question! Another question about friendship. This one comes from Zane N. He's @dootist on Twitter. - "How can I make friends?" - Hmm. how do you make friends? Well, this is a difficult question. This is important. We didn't want to miss anything. We wanted to be very thorough, so we decided to go to the gold standard - of everything succinct (emphasis on "ct")... - (copies Link) I was trying to say "succinct" and I-- - You left the T off. - I questioned-- I questioned if there was a T at the time he was saying the word.

Because it seems like it would be short. To answer this question succinctly, something I haven't done yet, we turn to the place of succinct wisdom, and that is wikiHow. Right, and we were very impressed with the quality of the advice they received. We thought, "We have to bring this to the people." We decided to do a literal role play to give you this advice on how to make friends. (Rhett) How to Make Friends: According to wikiHow. Introduce yourself at the end of the conversation. Hey, I wanted to let you know that I'm really enjoying this conversation we've been having for the last four hours, where I was able to tell you about my deepest, darkest fear of being attacked by a group of rabid hamsters, and you were able to tell me about the time you were attacked. by a group of rabid hamsters.

Hello, I'm Rhett. (silence) (trophy bell) (Rhett) Be yourself and don't act like someone you're not. Hey man! You are a high school student, I am a high school student. This is totally authentic! I'm a narc! (trophy bell) (Rhett) Believe in yourself, smile and laugh a little together. Hey, do you believe in yourself? - Yes, do you believe in yourself? - Yeah! (Both laugh robotically) (trophy bell) (Rhett) Hold back a little because you don't want them to think you're best friends. You still aren't, after only a few days. Hey, man, it's been great hanging out. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!

Stop a little. I don't want you to think we're best friends. It's only been a few days. (trophy bell) (Rhett) Keep the information private to yourself. It's tempting to share your secrets to build a friendship. Resist that urge. Hey, buddy, do you know I was in the woods, the one behind the library? That's where I've been digging this six-foot-deep hole. It has to be big to bury your baby, it's a wonderland! (trophy bell) (Rhett) This was How to Make Friends: According to wikiHow. Well, good luck making friends! Thanks to Squarespace for sponsoring this episode and thanks for liking and commenting on this video.
