Oldest Things On Earth (GAME)

There are old

things

, and then there are old

things

, and then there are old things. Let's talk about that. ♪(intro music)♪ Good morning mythical! When I think about old, I think about my old chin strap I used to have and what a big mistake that was. I'm glad I don't have it anymore. - Me too. - Don't look for those old photos. But, hey, my chin strap actually wasn't that old compared to some of the

oldest

things on Earth. And that's the

game

we're going to play today to find out how well you know your old stuff, Link. - Ooo - It's time to play: Can you guess how old these really old things are?

And our first and only "Can You Guess How Old These Really Old Things Are?" contestant. it's me! -..Link Neal! - Me! - Welcome to the Link program! Yes, hello. I felt like you were going to say my name and you did... - Yes - ...and I was already here. There was a hundred percent chance you were on this show. And also, as the woman on the board, there is the hidden and talented Stevie! - (cheers applause) - There she is. - Look, it's... - Oh, sporting the latest in Good Mythical Merchandise. - Yes. - (Rhett laughs) - Okay, then... - Okay, here's Link...

So this is like... - A guessing

game

. - ... the

oldest

material on Earth. Yes. Different categories of old things and I give you two guesses. I guess two hundred and forty-one. Well, would you like the question? - No. because... - And you would also like the rules. - Neither of them are going to matter. - I know numbers don't mean anything to you. - That's how bad I'm going to be at this - No, not except you, Li-Link. - Believe in yourself man! - (Link sighs heavily) So for every one you make wrong in Good Mythical More you'll have to eat one of these pickled eggs. - Because? - So look forward to that. - Just because it's fun. - Because they are old. (Stevie and Rhett laugh) They're really old.

Yeah. Lizzie found them in her closet or something. Where do you keep these? It doesn't matter. - Very good, I'll put them here. - Okay, first question. They say slow and steady wins the race. Jonathan the giant tortoise is the oldest living land creature in the world. He lives on the island of Saint Helena. And like most older people, he likes big cubes of salad! How old is Jonathan? Two forty one or one eight three? Wow, wow. I... um. Jonathan. Good name for a turtle, huh? I'm going to say two forty-one, Stevie. - Hmm. - And the answer is... - (wrong buzzer) No! - Oh!

The answer is one eighty-three. Fun fact about Jonathan. After living one hundred and eighty-three years, he has never managed to father any torti. - But... eh. - (the crew laughs) - Is that what you call turtles? - (crew laughs) Maybe that's the key to its longevity. But they have time, they can live up to two hundred and fifty years. - So, -- - Well, and you know -- ... keep working, Jonathan! He'll live to be two hundred and forty-one and then I'll be right and I won't have to eat an egg for it. Well, remember that whole thing about: "If you swallow the gum, it will stay in your intestines for seven years"? - Well that's a myth! - Of course.

You screw up and some time later a British archeology student finds it in Finland! How old is the oldest chewing gum in the world? - (Link laughs) Five thousand? About five thousand years old or about nine hundred years old? - The oldest chewing gum. - Five thousand... Chewing gum did not exist five thousand years ago. Or if? I don't know. That's why we're playing this game. Is it really gum? Because if so, then I have to go with nine hundred. - Very well, what is the real answer? - For the victory. -(incorrect buzzer)-Incorrect, he is about five thousand years old. - (crew laughing) - How, how is that possible? - Well, the gum was discovered under the bottom of a Neolithic cafeteria table. (Rhett laughs hard) That's not funny. - (crew laughs) - No, it's not.

Uh, no, but it was like birch tar from a tree. That's bubblegum, buddy. Birch tar is something to chew on, but it is not gum. It was five thousand years ago. Mistaken. Next question. Two eggs so far. (laughs) - (team laughs) - A handbag is an essential fashion statement, but what embellishment can really take it to the next level? Lots of dog teeth! At least that's what the owner of the oldest bag in the world thought. How old is the oldest fashion jacket in the world? Ha ha. That's what we call them in my family. - A fashion jacket with -- - When do you want to go - ... teeth - ... to buy fashion jackets?

With with. Teeth, many dog ​​teeth. Is it four thousand five hundred years old or two thousand years old? Well, dogs didn't exist four and a half thousand years ago. - Interesting logic. - Yes. Yes, they did. I'm going to say, but I'm going to go with the short one. - I'm going to go against my instinct... - Okay. So this is the correct answer, so I guess two thousand. - Very good Link, you are wrong again. - (wrong doorbell) - (crew laughs) - It's four and a half thousand years old. I said this is the correct answer, so I guess it's wrong. - Okay, well... - So...

I could lose an egg with that one. I don't know. - (team laughs) - But listen, I'll tell you no... - I'm trying guys... - No... - I mean, it's just hard. -Hey, don't give your wife a bag covered in dog teeth for Valentine's Day because that's what I'm giving her. - I mean, my wife. -(Rhett and his team laugh) Uhm, okay. Four thousand five hundred year old dog teeth. Yes. Keep thinking Link. Old Tjikko is a small fir tree that lives in Dalarna, Sweden. That's what they say. And he has a striking resemblance to a toilet brush.

It's also the oldest living tree on Earth, so... Hm. - So show some respect! How old is old Tjikko? The oldest living tree on Earth is ninety-five or sixty-five hundred years old, huh. Yes yes yes yes yes yes. That's old. I don't know. I'm thinking sixty-five. He knew that trees could grow old. - (crew laughs) - Wow, that brain is working, right? - (Rhett laughs) - But I have no way of knowing, - if in three thousand years. - Yes, there is no way to know except to count the rings. - Show me the rings! - (Rhett laughs hard) Can we show you the rings? - No, we can't show you the rings. (laughter) - Okay, so I feel like I should...

I was going to guess this, so... I'm going to guess ninety-five fifty. - Interesting logic. What do you have here? - (correct ring) Ninety-five fifty! - Yeah! - Yes, link! I knew it would be worth going against what he thought. Hey, you're on a roll. I'm going to go straight to the next one. Uh, the oldest animal on

earth

. Ming, the ocean quahog, was just a normal old clam, minding his bivalve business when a group of researchers pulled him out of the ocean and killed him to see how old he was. - Oh. Turns out it was the oldest living animal on Earth.

How old was Ming before his untimely death? Are they two thousand five hundred and thirteen years old or five hundred and seven years old? - Did you say the oldest animal on... - The oldest... - The oldest living animal on Earth... - Animal, animal. - .. was murdered to find out. -How old was the? - (crew laughs) - Ironic, huh. - And it's a clam. - Yes, it was a clam. Well, it still is. He is a dead one. -Mm...-It's probably...How did he know? Twenty-five thirteen. That's something old. There are things that are more than five hundred years old.

I mean there are animals bigger than that. There is a turtle that will be this old... - Yes. - .. before he dies. Yes, it's one hundred and eighty-three right now. No. Twenty-five thirteen. That's my answer. - Well. - (wrong ringtone) (crew laughs) Yes, five hundred and seventy years. - So it's ironic... - I knew it! He should have gone against myself. So the way to tell the age of a clam is to count the rings in its shell. Which, by the way, you can do while he's still alive. So scientists, please! The next time you want to know how old a clam is, count the rings!

Do not kill him! Ah! Very well, give me another one. - Faith -- - I am, I'm not on a roll yet. Fetty Wap chooses not to sport a fake eyeball, but an elderly Iranian woman in her mid-twenties chose the opposite. In 2006, archaeologists removed the world's oldest false eye from her skull. How old was this eyeball of animal fat and tar? - Oh, wow. Was it soft? -Was he four hundred and eight hundred years old or one thousand five hundred and seventy years old? Fake eyeball. - Mmm - Iran. And it's made of grease and tar?

I don't think that can last forty-eight hundred years. Oh well, that might be revealing. So I think this is the correct answer, therefore I guess this. - Okay, let's see what you have. - Forty-eight hundred years. - (correct ding) Instincts are great Link! - Yeah! - Well, they're bad, which makes them good - Yes, yes. If you have a good instinct, knowing that you have bad instincts, that's a good instinct. And I can't be the stupidest person here if I'm not the one using a fake microphone. - That's it, well no, this is working. - (microphone tap) Add some sound effects please when you do that. - (microphone taps) - Please.

Okay, mmm. In the old days, they didn't have Netflix to binge-watch their sorrows. They had flutes. (laughs) - The old ones... - (Stevie laughs) The oldest flutes on Earth were found in a cave in Germany called "Geißenklösterle". It's probably not called that. How old were those ancient fools? - On flutes? In Germany? - (Stevie laughs) - On flute in Germany! - (crew laughs) Yes, it's a flute in Germany. Yes, is it sixteen hundred years old or forty-two thousand years old? - Wow, that's very old. - He's the oldest what? Known flute? Uh, the oldest flute. - Oldest flute (laughs).

This is so stupid to me. - Man. - You don't believe in archeology? I think he's sixty-eight hundred years old. So, I'll have to guess, - .. no, I'll stick with... - Okay, that's smart. - Sixty-eight hundred. - That's wrong too. (incorrect ringtone) (everyone laughs) - Forty-two thousand years. - Man! - Hey! - You don't know how old flutes can get! Listen, interesting fact. Right next to where they found the flute, they found a cave painting titled "Beginner's Guide to Jethro Tull." (Rhett laughs) Jethro Tull incorporates a lot of flute. (Crew laughs) Do you remember that book, "The French Woman Doesn't Get Fat?" Well it was horrible!

And it probably should have been called "The French Woman Will Outlive You All." The oldest person was a French woman named "Jeanne Louise Calment." (Accidental British accent) At what age did she, at what age, mhmm, did she move on to the big baguette in the sky? Let's go Link. I know one twenty-two is pretty old for a person. - Mm, and one thirty-eight is even more. - A thirty-eight is even higher. - Hmm. Sixteen years older. - (whispers) Sixteen. That's quite an old person. - I'm-, I think - - (laughs) A sixteen-year-old person. I think I'm going to guess one hundred and thirty-eight.

Therefore, I will change my answer to one twenty-two. - Stevie pulls him. - (correct ring) - Link! - Yeah! - You did it! - Correct answer! - You ended on a positive note! - (Link shouts) How many did he miss? It doesn't matter, who cares? - The only thing that matters... - Five! You have to eat five nasty old eggs in Good Mythical More! Congratulations to all who have aged. (crew laughs) - Yes. - And congratulations to you. Congratulations to us, because you liked, commented and shared this video. (hesitantly) Do you know what time it is?

Hi, I'm Rob from Syria and I'm Rob from New York. And we are in Finland! And now it's time to spin the Wheel of Mythology! Today we're launching two new sticker packs! At RhettandLink.com/store Check these out, they're not even all of them. - Yes. - This one. - And that. - Paste them anywhere the stickers are appropriately, but not illegally, pasted! Click on Mythical More, I'll eat these eggs and talk about the oldest things we know. Unisong about 14 buttons? - Well... - Guess what I found in my pocket. It's not one, it's not two, it's not three four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen! - No!

There are four buttons! There are fourteen buttons! In my pocket today. Fourteen cubes, in my opinion, I'm not going to wait sixteen years. From today -- tomorrow. I'm going to find fourteen buttons. Yeah!
