(both) Who's the better plancer?
Let's talk about that.
♪ (theme music) ♪
- Good mythical morning. - We are very excited to welcome special
guest Lindsey Sterling to the show! (clapping)
- Oh, thank you, thanks for having me. - Welcome Lindsey.
♪ (dubstep and violin music) ♪
Thanks for coming out to the G the M and the M.
- Whoa, I've never heard it like that. - I've never said it like that before.
- It's pretty cool. - Yep.
Yeah, one of the things that we've noticed about you is your amazing ability to put
together great things that you'd probably do separately. Play music and dance.
- Yes. - But you put those things together in an
- amazing music video or on stage. - We call it plancing.
- Ooh, I like that. - Get it?
- Did you guys make that up? - We trademarked it but we'll sell it to
- you for the right price. - (laughs) I might take it.
So you don't-- You haven't had a term for it?
No, I always just say "Oh, I play the violin while dancing." But for now on if
- you guys don't mind I will say plancing. - Sure. We'll talk later.
Okay. Well, we also play instruments and we've also been known to dance.
So we'd like to get in on this plancing thing.
- Nice. - And well, you know we want to take
advantage of you being here to be a mentor slash maybe judge to not only give us hope
but to determine who's the better plancer.
- Okay. - So we have developed a format that's
completely original with a title for the competition that is completely original.
It it time to play...

Okay, as you can see we have cleared the good mythical floor and turned it into a
performance space. We have given a wide birth to what is about to happen.
Okay, this is how it's gonna work. There's three rounds. Round one, Rhett's
gonna go first, he's in the wings, he's waiting to come out. He is going to plance
for you to an original number and then you are gonna give him constructive feedback,
criticism and a score. Then I'm going to go for round two you're same thing for me.
- Okay. - You're gonna help me figure out how to
do this, give me a score and
then there's a bonus round three which is a battle scenario
- between the two of us. - Ooh. Nice.
I'm ready.
- I'm so ready. (laughs) - Rhett, are you ready?
(Rhett off camera) Si.
- (Laughs) - Alright, lights please.
- Look at that. - Oh my goodness. (laughs)
- Hola, Lindsey. - Hola, Rhett.
You look fantastic, might I say.
- Oh, very theatrical. - You can be honest.
(laughs) We'll save that for the judging afterwards.
- Oh, okay. - Gotta boost his confidence.

Hey!
Ha!
(high pitched) Ha!
(high pitched) Ho!
Ha.
(laughing)
Hola!
Lindsey.
Ha.
- Wow. - Stepping on the cord.
(laughs)
- (laughs) - Don't look directly at that.
(music stops)
(clapping)
- Okay, let's get the lights. - (laughs)
Let him have it, Lindsey.
Alright, first of all (clears throat) I have to say the execution on the costume
fantastic. It's great to surprise.
You could have tightened that up a little bit, don't you think he could have--
I could tell through his routine he was going for a bit of the sex appeal.
You came out and you were completely commited which I loved.
- You walked out here and you held the gaze. - I'll give him that, he needs to be commited.
I was very impressed, I'm not gonna lie. That foot work, some of it was pretty
- intricate. The swivel hips. - Some of it.
I'm gonna go with a solid seven. Fantastic. Well done.
Alright, you've set the bar. Somewhere.
Now it's my turn.
- (laughs) - Take a seat.
Alright, Link are you ready?
(Link off screen using a soft voice) Yes.
(both laugh) Oh, wow.
Okay, lights please.
What?! (laughs)
- As expected. - Oh my goodness. This was expected?
A little dainty. (both laugh)
A little dainty goes a long way.
- (laughing) - Oh, okay.
(soft voice) Fair maiden, Lindsey Sterling. I am but a bard, yet I have prepared a
performance for you. It will twinkle your toes.
- (laughs) I don't know if that's appropriate. - No, probably not.
I've brought my recorder from far away lands.
(laughs)
♪ (medieval music) ♪
Oh, yes.
(Link playing the recorder)
(laughing)
( Lindsey) Stop!
(Lindsey laughing)
(both laughing)
That ending really snuck up on him. (both laughing)
- At ease, at ease. - Wow.
- Bard. (laughs) Wow. - Well done.
(both clapping) Okay, lights up!
(soft voice) I'm a little winded, Miss Sterling.
- I can understand why. Oh my goodness. - It's like staring into the sun.
(laughing) Well, again 100% commitment. I mean I wonder if you studied some of my
- moves because I can see some of them - I did.
- this one? - Yep, that one. The nice like, leaning.
I mean these are spot on Lindsey Sterling techniques.
- It started out well. - I'm a student.
Yeah? You didn't think it continued well?
Yeah, the ending that was a surprise to Link.
(everyone laughing)
Well I was surprised but in the best way possible. I thought it was fantastic.
Instrumentation was decorative, dancing was spot on.
(soft voice) No, there is a pot of gold at the end of my recorder.
That's confusing.
(crew and Lindsey laugh) You're not a leprechaun,
don't blow it now, Link.
(everyone laughing)
Alright, let's score him.
- Or you score him. - Okay. I'm going to give you a nine.
- (Shouting) Yaaaaay! - What?!
- (laughs) What?! - It was brilliant.
- Yes! - At this point it is anybodies game.
Let's just put it that way
Okay. Round three is a battle with a little coordination between the two of us.
On to the battle round!
Alright guys, are you ready?
(Rhett and Link using British accents) Yes!
Lights!
(laughs) New costumes?!
(both talking in British accents) That's right.
Hello, Lindsey.
We're from the band "Chonk."
Hardcore.
Meet Chonk. Like a wolf, a snow wolf eating a snow rabbit, taking chunks of meat
- from his-- - Yes, I love the analogy.
This is an original we call...
- Awesome. - What did we call it?
"Plancing number seven"
- Plancing number one, it's number one. - Oh number one.
"Plancing number one" from Chonk.
Gentlemen, plance away.

(Rhett playing the guitar and Link playing the recorder again)
- Chonk! - Chonk.
(music stops)
- Chonk. - We are still chonk.
Lights.
Oh my goodness. Well first of all, I loved that it was a completely different take
for both of you, you know. You didn't just stick with what you knew, you went out on
a limb and tried something new.
(talking in normal voice) Didn't seem we knew that?
Oh no, I could tell this was highly rehearsed so.
- (Rhett) Yeah. - Well done, choreography and I like that
you both had your own little style. Yours was a little more ridged, Link.
- Yours was a little more swing to it. - (shouting) Whoa, swing! That's good,
that's positive.
I will say, music and technicality I'm gonna have to say you were very spot on,
Rhett. (laughs) Link, we had a few fumbles but you had a trickier part, I will say.
You had quite a few more notes. I'm gonna give Rhett his score first. So, because
of the musical accuracy and the really nice flow that you executed I'm going to
- give you a nine. - (shouting) Yeah!
- (laughing) - That's almost a ten!
So this is hard, this is really hard for me, this is the determining factor here.
Because of the edginess of your performance and the true grit that you
showed I'm gonna give an eight.

Our new plancing champion is Link, everybody!

That pose says it all! That's says it all!
- Yeah! - This guy won!
(laughs)
- I get to be in your next music video! - Oh, was that the prize?
Congratulations, Link you beat me fair and square as judged by an expert.
- But I'm still afraid to watch it back. - (laughs)
As you should be.
Thanks for liking and commenting on this video!

Oh, okay.
Let's see. (starts playing the violin)
- You can do it cactus. - You're a succulent, you don't need that
- much water, you just need love. - You don't suck, just for clarification.
You're so prickly and I don't mean that in a negative way like you make people feel
uncomfortable or you're stand off-ish. You're made that way.
You're not needy at all which is great, in terms of like fluids.
I just wanna-- wanna hug you!
- Can I hug you? - Don't do it.
Can I hug you?
Do it! (violin fades)
