oh my gosh, oh gosh, there it is, oh I'm trying to get to a place where I can swallow, but I don't know, oh gosh, hey, what's happening to everyone during the first week of Feast? I'm Sean Evans and you're looking at the hottest

ones

. the show with burning questions and even hotter

wings

and today I'm joined by Rhett and Link, they are the most beloved comedy duo on the web, you know them from buddy system on YouTube red and as host of Good Mythical Morning which is now entering its season number 14. Rhett and Link are welcome to the show, thanks Sean, glad to be okay.

I'm not glad to be here, we're just here, I'm glad to be with you. I appreciate it, it's good to see you again because the last time we went out we ate. the world's spiciest curry in Brick Lane, yeah, what do you remember? Don't mention the rest of the day. It was horrible. We actually went out to eat at a restaurant that we returned to to relive this memory. better when you hadn't eaten the spiciest curry in the world beforehand and I told him I was like, you know what I think I have to go to the bathroom.

I didn't see or hear him in the bathroom and then I went back out. like where is Rhett and then he walks out slowly like the slow walk he had been in the bathroom the whole time he didn't respond to me when I came in and said it was going to be a hard night for you because I never realized. where they hit it you guys ready to ruin another night yeah okay so this is the howler monkey. Sorry, I was doing this, that's good. I tried when they were talking, they're fighting bulls there abroad, so we've had.

Similar Paths to Eating Weird Food on the Internet I always joke that I didn't choose the

spicy

life, the

spicy

life chose me and I've heard you guys say similar things about running with the taste test format, do you remember the first time you ever I had to use the bucket to throw up on camera, it had to have been with Willett Taco, I probably mean, when it was just chunks of frozen pig's blood and a taco shell, I didn't understand that you know, there's no way that get this. I've never gotten frozen blood Which of the following would you never eat a frozen blood sandwich again a scorpion a Carolina Reaper good Scorpion is easy?

I just ate another one of those some in the past legit you did if I'm good with a scorpion I'll just eat it because it's like

eating

a seashell it's actually that crunchy and tasteless I mean the Carolina Reaper the consequences were catastrophic I mean, 13 hours later I was still in the fetal position on a couch and it came in waves, just when my stomach wanted to digest a little more rotation. I could feel like it was like a different part of my stomach lining was exposed to hell, yeah, and you just had to block it out and endure it, there's nothing. could be done when they look at how the taste testing genre has exploded, when they are proud to be part of that Evolution, and when they roll their eyes.

I appreciate that question, but most miniatures make us roll our eyes, but They work, I mean, we cover it and then show you, it's not just about walking around frantically and making stupid facial expressions, I mean, I'm guilty of one of those at least beat sauces that almost have cinnamon in them. there's a little sweetness there, that's not bad feeling my heart, so in 2011 you guys launched a commercial series Kings, we traveled the country and made these local commercials for small businesses, do you have any success stories you're proud of ? Have you ever done a business? triple your sales after your commercial or something one of the first commercials we did oh maybe I don't want to talk about that Chuck Testa what's the text the taxidermist we did a commercial for him and then he started his own YouTube channel so he really leaned in in his meme, yes, he totally did.

You probably thought this zebra was alive? No, Chuck Testa, you know the crossover between people who like internet videos and memes like Chuck Dust and people who actually need an animal to be stuffed. I don't know what crossover is, but everyone knows who he is and has turned it into a lot of other things. That day a legend was born. Yes, are you ready to move forward? Well, before I answer that question, I don't want to. to touch my eye I have like you like a I can't you want me to touch your eye am I going to touch your eye with this there is an eyelash in my eye because it's the way I want I'm going to touch it with the back of my hand you know you have to move right there I don't see A look from Lash look closer at this eye I think I think I moved whatever it was was like clicking hmm hints of Scurvy, I see that you are two of the most recognizable faces on the Internet, but I have also had some crossover success, already Whether it's on this IFC show or recurring appearances on Fallon, what's the difference for you guys when you upload a video that gets a 5? million views versus being on Fallon is a different kind of validation The Tonight Show is an institution, there's a whole history of comedians there and that made or broke their career, but yeah, they surprise us time and time again no matter where we go , people recognize us simply because we are very accessible thanks to YouTube.

We went on vacation and met a guy in Fiji like us once we finished our tour and got off the boat and this guy says like a red

link

: he was a Tasmanian opium farmer. and he watches the show, isn't he that crazy? This is so crazy. Tasmanian opium farmer, yes, so shout out to all Tasmanian opium farmers. anything so far the zombie is moving oh yeah there's an immediate hit yeah he sure has some of his dad's DNA Smokey it's like some kind of dumpster fire has grazed his flesh this could give him the

hiccup

s uh oh , that's too early for that, although it could happen with you, especially you feel like you need a setback, um, well, I'm always on edge, good morning mythical, it's a YouTube institution, over 1300 episodes, in fact, so many that you They asked me to visit them as a guest host. episode, so this wing is for all the fans who have been saying put Rhett and Link in the hot

ones

, put Rhett and Link in the hot ones since we started the boom, one assumption we've both had is post Malone and, From what I understand, he is a huge Rhett and Link fan who watches Good Morning Mythic every day.

What was it like having him in this? It was surreal. It was true because when he said that, when he said, I watch the show every day and I've been doing that for about four years and we're wondering why Post Malone is watching our show and then, you know, if you watch the show regularly, we introduced a lot of the team, a lot of the writers and other staff, and that was it. like walking around the office and like people popping their heads in looking around to post Malone, he's like, what's up? Kevin, what's up, he's shaking, he likes it, he knew everyone, he's legitimately a fan, so when we were filming, I leaned over to him in the middle of it.

It was like, hey man, I just want to let you know that it's really cool to have someone so cool like you who likes our show and is so charming. I mean, he's a really nice guy, so it's also nice that there are people as nice as we are. talented and musical Old MacDonald had a farm e-i-e-i-e-i-o Old MacDonald had a farm oh, this is your patent sauce, could you oh, we're ready for that, we're already selling your stuff, you could have said I don't like leading the testimony you know what I mean I just left it available on heatness.com heatness.com to order this is what Sean I knew was your sauce but I wanted to create a natural conversation about it to make a better add because I really believe in selling merch even if it's not mine, I appreciate you just keeping an eye on the wave, subscribe to Good Mythical Morning, okay guys, we're recording a segment on our show called explain that Graham, we're digging into our Instagram guest, interesting photos that I need more context and for you we have a theme as lifelong friends.

We've compiled some cool Rhett and Link throwbacks, okay, so we'll show you the throwback and you guys just tell us the bigger story. Sounds good? Okay, laptop, please. They are good

wings

, this is a good sauce to buy, you will buy it again. I'm calming down. I don't plan to end well, there we are. This is a famous story photo of Rhett and Link after going to summer camp. one week Rhett's father picked us up he is the man in the middle whose both hands are visible he is touching us properly man between us yes that is my dad alone with his hands on him now the interesting thing about this is that after being at Camp Caraway for a week, he hadn't pooped all week.

Wow it was a little bloated and we went straight to the zoo and let me tell you in this picture the

link

hasn't pooped yet so when you look at that smile you should know it's seven days and let me tell you it's hard not to poop after a week without defecating when you go to a zoo and every animal you see is defecating you had so much inspiration around you and you still didn't go to the bathroom you waited until you got home but we have matching t-shirts, we could have chosen others that we didn't have to wear the same purple t-shirt gorilla but those are the souvenirs we buy yeah that's what friends do okay next up is a familiar enemy it's black garlic and Carolina Reaper sauce Oh Carolina Reaper now here's the thing if I'm smell it ya You know, once you have a yes, oh man, it smells like death once you have a bad experience with any food, not just hot food, your body leaves a lasting imprint on your brain, so when you smell it again in In my case, if I smell that smoking Carolina Reaper death, my stomach tightens, well, a lot of things tighten, hmm, so it's hard for me to gather this here, oh, that lets you know it's there, makes your presence is naus

eating

to me, so you.

You guys have played a lot of roles in the YouTube game, but I want to talk a little bit about music videos, which video was the most painful to make? We used to conceptualize the videos to imply that they were a pain in the ass. Doing it to help them get more views, like the Photoshop one, was very difficult to do. It was the same principle we used for the T-shirt War, which also looks amazing. What you are using, it was very difficult to make an onion. The skinning program basically takes a photo and then places it over the next video image as a 50 transparency so you can look at the monitor and align yourself completely, yes, with your previous pose and so on for the t-shirt. world that would allow us to take off our shirt, put on the next shirt with the new design and then line up and take the next photo and with the Two Guys 600 Pillows video that was really complicated because, uh, it was too. lots of pillows, yeah, well, plus we did everything backwards, which is really hard to lip sync something and then play it backwards and make it look like you're singing the song correctly.

I feel a tingling from this ear to this ear, it's like a colony of ants is starting to migrate from my right ear to my left ear

while

someone is hitting my tongue with barbed wire and pulling. Oh, you've been to monsters and they don't oversell it, hot sauce 16 out of 10 hot but that's small that's not possible whatever okay what pepper is that there Scorpion chilies and bird's eye oh oh we had a scorpion wait hey I've had many I've had a bad bad time with a scorpion pepper that was a scorpion pepper that was actually the last pepper I ate whole and raw for the first time it was one of the worst experiences of my life but I was able to keep trying it has to be entertaining but I ate the Scorpion something that happened something had changed no I didn't turn 40 and then I wanted to be a part of it, but I couldn't be entertained unless only a grown man in the fetal position is entertaining. uh, it was okay, I really enjoyed it, but it was absolutely horrible.

It took a lot for me to talk, so you guys have been on the internet for over a decade, you've racked up billions of views and you've won countless awards, so what I want to do is present you with a couple of professional achievements and you can tell me if it was a highlight or more in low light, that sounds good, yeah, okay, coming in third place in the Turbo Tax tax rap contest judged by Vanilla Ice, we still have the bedazzled medallions that are the Turbo Tax logo, we even added to replace the third place we then involved out of the contest with another guy, the winner who was a flute beatboxer, yeah, and we did, we did a series of rap battles back and forth because once he won, we weren't happy, yes, you had to take the crown from the King and sit down. to the throne yourselves, yeah, and me and we did it, and Turbo Tax is just sitting there saying, oh, this is great because David didn't pay us, they gave us my dog, they paid us in a medallion, we're just setting up a high school basketball batting record. 77 three-pointers, oh God, don't get him started how many 77s and how many seasons in just one season, just one season, where does that record rank on your list?

That recordis it still at Harness Central High School? That's what I was going to ask you. Still stands? Yeah, no one's even come close, so it means a lot to me. It means too much. Yes Yes. Link. I know you scored two unassisted goals in a soccer match once using my left foot, but both times and then. Daniel Day-Lewis played him in that movie, which was incredible. Incredible honor I would like to recognize the unsung heroes of basketball scoring because you are right for the 8th grade girls team you have to score well yes that's right you've done your job John I would like to recognize all the female high school basketball scorers layups don't stop, what if you get rejected on MTV's The Real World?

I don't know about that, I love it, you know about that, um, that was, you know what, uh, it was low light at the time, extremely prominent in retrospect, I could have dodged, uh, if I had gotten to the real world in 1994, I would have It's been a bad time to show myself to the world like that. How often do people partake in liquids at this point? You know, in various guests to guests. just hit the milk I just took a sip of milk but there's nothing to be ashamed of, you know good, I'll shame you for taking a sip of milk, let's see if you can make it to the end without it, okay, I've already done it.

I didn't have milk either, okay, my goodness, it's starting to get there, it has a chemical quality, it's not tasty again, we're in a place that's not about enjoying, it's good, it's getting hard, hey, we were having fun , man, this is not like that. It's not fun anymore, this isn't fun anymore, Sean, are you reconsidering that milk promise right now? Yeah, definitely, oh my God, no guys, there it is, oh, I'm trying to get to a place where I can swallow, but I don't know, oh God. oh oh no it's going down oh god it's okay guys we've known each other since 1984 we went to the same school the same high school the same university you've made hundreds of hours of videos together but how well do you know each other really? there are skeletons in the closet, we'll find out now and we'll do it Rhett and Link style, we've gamified the whole wing, thank you very much Bill Link, try not to vomit on this one because that's how he goes down.

I'm drinking milk, we have questions and what you're going to do is each of you draw a question and then read it to the other, so you're going to go to the link, you're going to choose a question and you're going to read it to Rhett Rhett and then you put your hand in the bucket, ask a question, read it to link. I have it. I'll go first. Well, oh, and you will ask. Link. What is your favorite bad word? Say it now, man, that's tough. Did you make a living? Do you have a living will?

And if so, did you say I would be your children's guardian? Yes, I have a living will and I'm supposed to know the answer to this. Actually, no, no, no, no, no, let's get into this. Actually, the honest answer is that between my brother and Jesse's sister they like to work things out and what they find out is that my children should live. with you and you will make that decision collectively oh god hey you are not a blood man I need to apply godparents to your children well I made my will am I the guardian?

I'm about to change, is exactly what you would say. Do you see the comedy in that, I don't see the comedy in anything anymore, it was a real twist, there are two more wings to this, Rhett, was there ever a deal or endorsement that we did together? paid more than me, no, yeah, with who, sorry guys, it's just a faucet here, okay, here's the deal, we split everything 50 50. Put that in there, but for a long time I managed our QuickBooks account and there were once, actually several times. where everything came down to an odd number of cents and always gave me the other scent.

I thought I was doing damn QuickBooks. The stomach doesn't want to cooperate here, oh, you know, before we came here, Breathe In Smoke, we read an article about how. to prepare myself to eat spicy things even though we've done it, I was wondering what the latest research is on this and in the article there's just a bunch of photos of you, yeah, yeah, look at that, did you learn anything useful? bread carb loading carb loading before so I had a bagel because I have to go so you guys have addressed some important questions on your podcast.

I highly recommend Ear Cookies to the viewer at home, and to give you a little taste, what we're going to do is throw out some of those big philosophical ideas. questions to see where you are now in 2018 and see if you have any takeaways, where do you stand on Whataburger versus in and out, in and out? Texas has a lot to offer in the culinary space. Oh yeah, and they don't. You don't need to bring Whataburger to the front of that line, you know what I'm saying, you don't have to do that, there are a lot of things that aren't good or better yet, not good at all, are magicians really cool?

No, they're not great and that's what makes them great. If you're a magician, don't try to be cool, just die the camera. If you're a magician, don't try to be cool, just be a magician and. So what's the best ridiculous but true Walmart story? Well, the most ridiculous Walmart story is what happened to Rhett when, when his first child was a baby, he was shopping at Walmart and realized that he had left his baby in the car, okay? ? make it sound really horrible, okay, it wasn't one of those situations, it was a cloudy day. He had only been a father for a couple of weeks and I forgot he had a son.

It happens, uh, and as soon as I walked into the I need batteries wall, well, I went to Walmart to change batteries and then when I realized my son was in the car, literally like three minutes after I walked into Walmart, I stole the batteries I wanted and put in the batteries I had. I was going to change on the shelf and he ran out and he was okay, yeah, so I wrote the law twice in one day, but it all ended up okay, so the more the story is, it's okay to break the law, it's okay to break the law and it's okay to break the seal because this is the last touch, we call it the last touch because it's traditional here to put a little bit more on the last wing, it's not necessary, why don't you know?

Could you touch us if not? I don't want to be sure that I love doing it the way you prefer the standard little dab. I don't want there to be unnecessary arguments between the two of us about how much dab was being done, that is, guys. Is it an honor to have been here? Well, you know, depending on what happens, I really like you. Hey, like you too. something to achieve, I'm just telling you these guys didn't achieve it, they didn't achieve the flavor and the heat at the same time, oh, I got you there, uh, something I reached a little bit of speed, but you know what it has.

The release time thing, right? Yeah, come back to you, okay? Rhett and Link, here we are, at the end of the line, our mouths are on fire and it's time to cool them down, so what we're going to do is whip out some of the most ridiculous Nouveau flavored ice cream New York has to offer, so we're chilling it, we're eating it by breaking it up and then now we're chilling it. I like it, so what we'll do is try to guess. the taste oh you're making fun of us if I was making fun of you maybe I'd say something like whipped cream it's the dream let's talk about it I'm not going to say that blindfolded please ice cream please ah man okay inside this, here you go guys don't touch the inside of the blindfold don't touch the inside of the blindfold okay so ice cream flavor number one I didn't look at the color um it's melon flavored. and I was like eating a banana oh horrible oh yeah oh oh it's a it's a um it's a what's wrong man it's just ice cream it's a banana it's horrible it's a it's a type of banana dish that has bananas in it but it's not a banana schaumburger, what are we eating?

Morgenstern Banana Curry, a banana curry from the state of Oregon, but what would you give me, okay. One more ice cream to go. It is the best? Will he wear the crown? We will find out now. there it is there it's okay here we are oh this is a brilliant idea this is uh durian this is durian this is durian I can taste it right away not very big fruit in the durian but when your mouth is on fire any port in a storm and look at You Rhett and Link, throughout the hot Gauntlet, now there's nothing left to do but roll out the red carpet for you guys, this camera, this camera or this camera, let people know what's going on in his life, oh what.

Are we doing it well? We are Rhett and Link digital influencers. You can see us on the website www.http colon forward slash forward slash www.youtube.com Good morning mythical I looked at that camera the whole time you said something to Sean camera we are in link I'm talking to Sean's camera Sean's camera it's getting awkward http it's the new trend slash slash www.youtube.com Good morning mythical you can also get there if you go to youtube.com Renton link2 but that's confusing someone did it so well that was fun that was ethereum it was Rancid 1 million two one million three that's pretty good Phil, did you get that cool t-shirt?
