- I challenge you to a duel. - Let's talk about that.
♪(theme music)♪
- Goooooood Mythical Morning! - In today's society,
if you have an argument with somebody, well, you start fighting them in public,
and then somebody gets it with their cellphone and posts it on
- World Star Hip-Hop. - World Star!
- Now, - (crew laughs)
that's how things are today in today's society, but back in the good ol' days,
there was no World Star Hip-Hop and there was just people challenging
one another to duels. Fights to death.
And you may know about one famous one, Erin Bir versus Alexander Hamilton because
- there's a Broadway play about it. - Broadway play!
A Broadway play about it! But, Link, you know about the other ones?
Do you know about the other ones? It's time to find out as we play:
Can Link fill in the blanks in his musket with actual bullets?
'Cause it's duel time! Okay, Link, are you ready?
(loud exhale) Yes, I'm ready to fill in blanks.
- This is how this is gonna work. - Shootin' blanks today!
- I've got seven questions for you - Pow! Pow!
about duels from the past. You get four out of seven of right,
and you get a distinct advantage in the duel we're gonna have in
- Good Mythical More! Don't get too close! - What?! Oh, you're already intimidated.
- (laughs) - And if you don't get four out of seven,
- I get that distinctive advantage. - Okay, okay.
- Okay. - I also get the appreciation that we
- no longer settle disputes with duels. - In 1808, two Frenchmen fell for the same
woman. Instead of asking her who she might like to date, they let their shotguns decide.
They also chose to take things to new heights by fighting their duel in blank.
- New heights, huh? - There's always a little bit of a hint
- in the question so you're not - And that was it? New heights.
- flying blind! (laughs) Second hint! - Okay. So, they had a duel with shotguns
in a spaceship. In an aircraft. Nope.
- What year? - 1808.
- A hot air balloon. - (ding sound)
- You're right, Link! That's right! - Oh! That's pretty point-blank range
- for a shotgun. - Well, and let me tell 'ya what they did.
One of the guys got the bright idea, "You know what I'm gonna do?
I'm just gonna shoot the hot air balloon." And that's what he did.
The guy and his backup man that was in-- And he had a (inaudible), for some reason,
- Oh, of course. - in there with him. They both died.
- (crew laughs) - Were they in two separate balloons?
- Yeah. - 'Cause then that's a smart move.
Otherwise, not. Alright!
In 1806 a member of the British Parliament got a little tipsy and challenged the Earl
of Barrymore to duel. The next day, the Earl of Barrymore
called it off because the other guy showed up completely blank!
- Nude. Nop-- I didn't say that out loud. - (crew laughs)
I didn't hear a hint in this one. Showed up the next day after being tips--
Hungover. Like, sick. Sick. He was hungover.
Sick. You were right the first time when you were joking, Link. It's nude.
- (buzzer sound) - Are you kidding me?
- (crew laughs) - So, I mean, should I give that to you?
- No, that wasn't my final answer. - Because, I mean--
- I was just joking! - Well, you were right.
- Actually, the guy, Humphrey Hoarth-- - He showed up nude? Because he was--
- It was logical. He was a former surgeon. - Where'd he keep the gun?
- Back in the day-- - (crew laughs)
Hmm. I dunno. Probably he probably held it.
Back in the day, your clothes were so dirty that he knew that if you got shot
through clothes, it was much more likely to get an infection. So he went naked!
That's why I show up to all my World Star Hip-Hop fights naked. Look me up!
- (giggles) - I'm called Big Red on World Star Hip-Hop.
- (laughs) - He knew he was gonna get shot.
Wow. Okay. Hm. I'll take it. Yeah. I'll take it.
In 1843, in France, two men named Malfont and Lafont had a little too much
to drink while playing pool at the bar. They weren't at the pool bar.
They were playing pool at the bar. They challenged each other to duel
- I love a good swim-up bar. - using a weapon close at hand,
- a blank. - Billiard balls.
They pelted each other with billiard balls. Not final answer.
- Okay. - Unless that's right.
- Oh. - Then I'm giving you two answers
- for everything. - Hold on, but you gotta make a decision.
I'm gonna say pool stick. The whooped each other with a
- pool stick. - Alright, great guess, Link,
- but it's wrong. It's billiard ball. - (buzzer sound)
- (everyone laughs) - Dang it!
- So, what we're finding out is that - I was so good!
- your-- - My joke answers.
No, no. Your gut, man. This is a thing for you.
You can grow today. Go with your gut, Link.
You've been right but wrong twice. It was a billiard ball.
Malfont bragged that he would kill Lafont first throw and then he did.
He threw the billiard ball and it hit him in the head
- Right in the head? - and he died.
- Wow. - In 1865, Wild Bill Hickock won the
first ever quick draw duel. He met his opponent, Davis Tutt,
- in the town square and - Never head of him.
shot him dead in no time because Tutt was wearing Hickock's blankity blank.
Blindfold. See? That's my-- That's not my gut. I'm just being stupid.
- Oh, quit being stupid. - Shot him in no time.
His watch. I think that's a hint, and I'm gonna go with--
He was wearing his watch. It was off a little bit,
- so he shot him prior to-- - Don't add stuff to make it wrong, Link.
- You were right when you said watch. - (ding sound)
- It was actually his pocket watch. - (laughs) Really?
They were actually friends, and Tutt had won it from Bill
in a poker game, but then he was like, "I'm not gonna wear this in public.
I don't wanna shame you," but then he started prancing around with that
- pocket watch and Bill shot him. - (laughs) He taunted him.
- He did. - I was right. Wow. Wow. I'm good at this.
- You've technically gotten them all right. - Yeah. Yeah! Yeah.
- But just so you know, but, also wrong. - Mhm.
Two of them at the same time. In 1765, Lord William Byrin challenges
- cousin to duel with swords and killed him. - Cousins and swords do not mix.
What ruffled his feathers? It all started with an argument over
dinner about who had more blank on their estate.
- Who had more blank on their estate. - Blank-- On their estate.
- (crew laughs) - Emphasis on the blank.
- (laughs) - I was thinking restrooms 'cause you know
how cousins get in a fight over, "Well I got a full--"
"Well is it a half bath or is it a full bath? 'Cause that only counts
- as half, and I got more full restrooms - Yeah.
- than you do on my estate." - Yeah.
- A lot of fights have broken out over that. - I don't know what you mean by blank,
but you said something about feathers, so I'm gonna say chickens.
Peacocks. Chickens. I'm going with chickens.
- Chickens. Link, it's game birds - (buzzer sound)
- that they hunted. - Oh, see? I still got--
- What? - That's not chickens.
- Game birds? - Game birds. Like pheasants, like,
- that you would hunt. - So I'm half right.
- Half right? Should I give you a half point? - A peacock.
- I mean, chickens. Peacocks are-- - I'm sure they shot peacocks.
Peacocks are just for decoration and chickens are for eating.
- So that's livestock. Technically. - But my answer was peacocks. (laughs)
- I'm gonna call that a half point - (ding sound)
- at this point. - It was chickens,
- but I took your feather hint. - Okay. So that puts him at two and a half
- right? - (crew member) Uh-huh.
Okay. Maybe I'll say three. I dunno. You gotta get four.
- I'm in control, here. (laughs) - (crew laughs)
So, we'll see how this goes. Even Honest Abe Lincoln was no stranger
to duels. In 1842, the Illinois State Auditor backed out of
a sword duel with Lincoln, after realizing Abe's blank gave him
- an unfair advantage. - His wrestling techniques.
- Ooh, you know a little of the history - I know that.
- of Abe Lincoln. - I know he was a wrestler,
but I'm actually gonna say height. 'Cause when you have a sword,
- you know, when you're sword fighting. - Now, hold on now.
Do you need to go with your instincts here?
Hmm. Okay. I'm gonna go back with my instincts. Because I know that Lincoln was
a wrestler, I'm gonna say his wrestling experience.
- Great. It was height. - (buzzer sound)
- (everyone laughs) - I had to get you back, man.
- You did that to me last game twice! - It was height!
- So, it was height. - Alright. That's fine.
- so I'm gonna say that you've got - (ding sound)
three and a half points. So, you can go over the threshhold
on this last one, or you can go back in and loose
- the duel! - Alright.
- You know how tall Lincoln was? - He was like--
- 7'2. - 7'4 or 6'6. I dunno.
- 7'2. (whispers) 7.2. - He was a tall man.
A student challenged his former fighting instructor to duel in order to prove that
he had surpassed his master's skills. The circle was now complete,
when he cut his master in half with a blank.
- Who? - A student. (laughs)
- What is this? A bedtime story? - I mean--
Once upon a time-- You can make up anything
- You could tell it as a bedtime story. - you want!
- Give me some facts, man! - You could experience this as a
story before bedtime. You could experience this story
- however you want to. - It is a story.
- Cut his master in half. - It's actually kinda hard to tell if you
actually cut him in half, but that's--
He was definitely trying to, and then it was sort of like,
- "I don't know what happened to him." - Lightsaber.
- Hey, Link! You're right! - (laughs)
- (ding sound) - You know what I'm talkin' about!
I don't know specifically what you're talking about unless you're talking about
Darth Maul. I'm talking about Darth Vader killing
- Obi Wan. - Oh. 'Cause Darth Maul was cut in half,
- but that wasn't his-- - Either way, Link, you win.
- ♪(celebratory music)♪ - That's officially four and a half points.
- Yeah. Yeah! Chickens! - You get the advantage in the duel
- we will have in Good Mythical Morning. - Chickens for the win.
