- Trick or treating isn't the only thing
that happens on Halloween.
- Holy, "Let's Talk About That".
(upbeat music)
(fire roaring)
Good Mythical Morning.
- Happy Halloween, mythical beasts.
Well, as you can see, we finally came to a decision
for our Halloween costumes.
We were going to be Batman and Robin,
but as you might expect, we could not agree
on who would be Batman.
So we are Robin and taller Robin.
- And slightly different Robins.
- Yes, the taller Robin.
Hey, I'm taller Robin, this is me, Rhett.
I'm the one with the green gloves, and the yellow cape.
- I'm shorter Robin, this is me, Link.
I have the black cape and the glasses over my mask.
- Your costume's a little cheaper than mine.
I have actual lacing here,
you have three lines that are just printed.
- Right.
The enemies can't grab those.
The Jokers not gonna snag. - Nobody's judging you, man,
nobody's judging you.
- No Joker snags for me.
- Okay, Halloween, it's a spooky day.
Lots of weird stuff has happened.
But if you go back in time and you look
at the different coinkidinks
that have happened on Halloween,
you start to think something is up here
and we're gonna play a game to see
just how much you know about what has happened on this day.
All Hallows Eve in the past.
Link, are you ready to play?
Can Link fill in between these things
that happened on Halloween?
Link, it's very simple.
- Halloweenkidinks.
- It's a fill in the blank.
Everything that I'm gonna talk about in this game
happened on October 31st.
- Yes.
- That's the only thing they have in common.
Some of them seem like they're Halloween related.
Some of them just happen on October 31st.
If you get five out of eight of these correct,
you have a special Halloween candy surprise
that taller Robin will give right to you.
- All right, now you can't tell 'cause I'm wearing a mask
but I'm super confident right now.
- Let's get started!
In 1963, a leaking propane tank
at the Indiana State Fairgrounds Coliseum
exploded during a chilling blank performance.
Chilling blank performance.
- Chilling blank performance.
Ice sculpture.
Ice skating.
- Final answer?
- Final answer.
- Yes, short Robin, you got it!
Ice skating, what a great start?
- Holy correct answer, chilling.
Chilling was my hint.
- Yes, it was.
There's gonna be a little bit of a hint in most of these.
'Cause it could have been anything.
The propane tank leaked into the concession area
and the gas exploded when it came in contact
with the popcorn machine.
- Boy, that is great.
- The good news is- - No, that's not great.
- The good news is no one had to sit through
anymore ice skating.
- That is great. - Yes.
In 2011, a 55-year-old man named Ledell Peoples
went into a violent rage and stabbed his girlfriend to death
because she had taken his blank.
- Ooh. - Mm-hm
Yeah, that's right.
- Taken his...
His prize, his manhood.
No. - Taken his manhood.
- Taken his confidence.
Taken his wallet.
Taken his pet, ferret.
- Remember what day it is, Link.
- Taken his Jack-o'-lantern.
Taken his costume.
Taken his...
- Need an answer.
- His ghost costume.
(Rhett laughing)
- His candy, man.
- His candy, dang it! - It was Halloween, man.
Nobody better lay a finger on Ledell's butter finger.
He will stab your butt.
- Dang, Ledell.
- I will say though,
I believe that this may be justifiable homicide.
- You love your candy?
- Don't touch my butter finger, buddy.
No siree.
Harry Houdini died in 1926 of a ruptured appendix
after a college student blanked him nine days earlier.
He got blanked.
He got blanked nine days earlier.
- A college student stabbed him?
How do you get a ruptured appendix?
You get stabbed I think.
I'm gonna say hugged him.
If you get hugged really hard,
that could rupture in appendix.
- Houdini was known for asking people to do this.
I'll just give you that little hint.
- Ooh, punching him.
Punched him. - You're right, Link!
I had to give you the hint, but you're right, yes!
- I got it.
- He said that he had this like thing
where he withstand any punch,
and this student, J. Gordon Whitehead
named after a zit, came up
and apparently he tested his alleged ability
to withstand gut punches, but Hounini (laughing).
- Houdini, he didn't tighten the absters.
- No, he did, but he did not know
that he was already suffering from appendicitis.
Now we do not have footage
of Houdini getting punched by the student
but we do have footage of another magician
being punched by another student just so you can enjoy that.
- Okay.
Oh, right in the kisser!
- I imagine that historically, it went down
something just like that.
- Yeah, that's a historical reenactment.
- Game show host blank announced his retirement
after 35 years on the air in 2007.
- Halloween in 2007, game show host.
- Game show host.
- 35 years. - 35 years in 2007 on the air.
Pretty much all the details you need to know.
- Chuck Woolery?
Peter Tomarken.
- You are a game show man.
You're naming people that most people don't know.
- I'm thinking this is Bob the Barker.
- Correct! - Give it to me, yes!
- Now a lot of people thought that Bob retired
because he had just gotten old,
'cause he was like mid 80s
but it was recently reported that he was forced to retire
after it was revealed that he was spaying
and neutering contestants who got the wrong prices.
On October 31st, 1967.
Iconically cool rapper blank was born in Dallas, Texas.
- '67. - 1967.
I love giving myself fives with these gloves!
- '67.
- Bobin wasn't as cool as us.
- Iconically cool.
I'm going with the ice, Vanilla Ice, skater.
- Yes, Link!
Have I made it too easy with all the hints, man?
Have I made it too easy?
But you do have to get five.
- I knew he was from Texas.
- Rob Van Winkle, AKA Vanilla Ice.
A little background here.
Rob was arrested and this isn't background,
but this is just additional information.
Rob was arrested in 2015 for burglarizing
a home he thought was vacant.
However, he was able to get off with just community service
when he pled guilty to the lesser charge
of flowing like a harpoon.
(both laughing)
- Daily and nightly!
- I knew you would appreciate that.
Yeah, y'all gotta look up some freaking lyrics
if you want to get that kind of joke.
- Will it ever stop?
I don't know.
- I knew Link would like that one.
After 14 years of work by roughly 400 people,
blank was completed on Halloween in 1941.
- On a roll, Robin.
- 14 years of work, Robin.
This is too late for the great wall of China.
- Okay, then what is it, bro?
I think that was a lot more than 400 people people.
Man, 1941, I'm not good with the dates, Robin.
- All right, Robin.
But listen, you have three chances to get one right.
So what's the first thing you think of?
- First thing I thought of was, I don't know, a Lego thing.
- Okay, a Lego thing, is that your final answer?
- No, that was the first thing I thought of.
You know how they build big Lego stuff.
Wow, that must have took 14 years.
400 people. - Yeah, that's not it.
What's your answer?
- I'm thinking a bridge of some sort.
A famous bridge.
- Famous bridge, final answer? - Yeah.
- It's Mount Rushmore, Link!
- Mount Rushmore?
- Yeah, they say that the basic shape
of the president's heads can last up to 7 million years.
So 7 million years from now,
they'll be able to see those presidents.
- And they think, "Huh, that's not as impressive
as I thought it would be."
- A lot of people don't know this,
but on the back side of the mountain,
they actually have the president's butts carved
and there's little doors that you can go right in
and up to the presidential mouths.
- Right, they call that-
- Presidential back door.
- They call it the presidential suite.
(Rhett laughing)
- On Halloween in 2006, former backup dancer blank,
released his first and only album "Playing With Fire"
which received some of the worst reviews in music history.
- Former backup dancer?
- Former backup dancer.
Former backup dancer turned musician.
- This is tough, man.
I know a lot of guys who play with fire,
but none of 'em are fitting this bill.
I'm drawing a big old blank.
I'm gonna guess Fergie.
(Rhett laughing)
- His first and only album.
- Oh yeah, a man.
- She's a woman and I believe she had more than one.
But Fergie's incorrect, Link.
It's K-Fed, man!
- K-Fed. - Kevin Federline.
Britney Spears' baby daddy.
- Oh I never would've guessed that guy.
- Really?
Well, the reviews for "Playing With Fire"
included from Slant Magazine,
"This disc is just as disposable and dumb as you'd expect."
And from Vibe magazine,
"His constipated region's nonspecific flow
overwhelms even the most flamboyant beats."
A little update on K-Fed, just in case you're wondering.
On January 23rd, 2012
he suffered chest pains while filming a reality show.
- Is he okay, Rhett?
- That's pretty much all he's been up to. (laughing)
- Got a lot of chest pain.
- In 2012, Link, last chance, man.
Dang, you were doing so great.
In 2012, a nine-year-old girl wearing a black hat
with a white tassel was shot by her uncle
who mistook her for a blank.
Don't worry, she fully recovered.
That's not a hint, I'm just letting you know.
I'm not talking about a dead little girl here.
You know what I'm saying?
- A black hat with a white tassel.
- Look at that, gotta shoot it.
- What does a black hat with a white tassel look like?
- Well, I thought this was a game.
- Witch?
(crew laughing)
- What might a man with a shotgun be interested in shooting?
- That wear's a black hat with a white tassel?
- That resembles a black hat with a white tassel.
- A white-tailed black panther.
A white-tailed deer?
Man, I know I'm wrong.
- I want you to get the candy, robbin.
Listen, it is an animal.
- It is an animal.
It's a white-tailed.
- Yeah, it's a black and white animal that you might shoot.
- Black rabbit, bunny.
- Mm-hmm, no.
- Black and white animal, a cat.
A goat, a skunk. (Rhett laughing)
A skunk. - You're right, man.
- A skunk, final answer!
- Congratulations, Link. - Boom, I did it!
- You did it.
It took a little bit of help.
- I think this mask makes me stupid.
- You get an unbelievably big bag of candy all for you
'cause you did such a good job answering those questions.
Congratulations, Link.
Thank you for liking, commenting, and subscribing.
- You know what time it is!
It is candy.
- I'm Jack Action.
- I'm Vick Vicious.
- And I'm Cinnamon Bun.
- [All] We're in Sacramento, California.
And it's time to spin the Wheel of Mythicality.
- We've been waiting all this time
to point out the fact that the mythical mug
is Halloween themed.
So, it's the perfect time to buy one is on Halloween.
- The rest of the year, it's just rest of the year themed.
RhettandLink.com/store.
Next "Good Mythical Morning" we're gonna play
"Werewolves" costume version.
- Rhett sells Link's glasses on Craigslist.
Hey, I got something I need to tell you.
- Did you just sell my glasses on Craigslist?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But I gotta go meet the guy now,
he seems a little shady.
Got any tips?
Don't go anywhere, 'cause it's me.
Gotcha!
(upbeat music) (everyone laughing)
- So Eddie, go ahead and show your card.
- I was the observer.
- He was the fortune teller!
- Yeah! - So, secret!
- So be quiet, be quiet!
