- Kiss me through the phone.
- Let's talk about that.
(techno music)
Good mythical morning.
- It's a new year, a new season,
and a new Wednesday.
And in this new season,
every Wednesday is going to be a little bit different
because we're calling it whatever Wednesday
because we're going to be talking about.
- [Together] Whatever.
- We talk about a lot of stuff on this show
five days a week.
But there's still seems to be lots of things
we don't end up talking about.
So we wanted to create a forum,
a space every week,
where we can hit you with some different stuff,
whatever it may be, so let's do it.
- Starting with,
I just want to address the elephant on my head.
My hair, specifically.
I'm not even trying to make it look like an elephant,
that's not what I'm trying to do.
- I don't think it looks like an elephant.
- But I will just acknowledge.
- It does looks different than normal.
- In the first two episodes of the season
I've seen your comments,
I've seen those of you who have
put me next to a picture of an ice cream cone.
I'm going to take that as a compliment.
- [Link] Or put one directly on your head.
- Yes I've seen that as well.
I've seen those of you who've said that
this might be the embodiment of the GMM logo.
I'm going to take that as a compliment.
- That's cool.
- But that is not what I'm trying to do.
In fact it's what I'm not trying to do,
that is what I'm trying to do.
Let me explain.
This year I am letting the hair do
what the hair wants to do.
There used to be comb involved,
and there was a blow dryer. - Oh wow.
- I have excised both of those things from the process.
Now I just put a little bit of that mythical pomade,
or pomade, whatever you want to call it, into my hair,
and then I just let nature happen in my hair,
because the hair wants what the hair wants,
and apparently in 2017 this is what the hair wants
and this is what you're going to get.
I'm not gonna apologize for it.
- And he's not defensive about it.
- Not at all.
- And he hasn't been thinking a lot about it.
- I haven't been touching my hair at all.
- Or talking to me a lot about it outside of the show.
I got something.
There is a device,
that you can plug into your phone
that connects to an app,
that will allow you to kiss someone
remotely on the other side of the Internet,
on the other end of the world.
- Stranger?
- Yeah well, I don't know.
It could be anybody.
It's called the Kissinger.
It's basically a gadget.
Look at this thing.
You see this girl,
she's kissing this plastic oval thing
on the bottom of her iPhone,
and this is real time.
It's basically.
- [Rhett] And that man on the screen is
doing the same thing to another device that looks like that?
- [Link] Yeah and they can feel each other.
- Sexy.
- Users simply kiss their devices'
lip-like interface at the same time,
that haptic oval thing which looks nothing like lips.
- Yeah not very lip-like.
- And it will copy the exact pressure applied
to your lover using a range of sensors.
- Well hold on now.
I mean, there's more to kissing than pressure.
There's no tongue hole in that thing
that's all I'm going to say.
- Well there is no tongue hole
because then there would need to be a tongue.
- I'm not singing up for it then.
- There'd need to be a tongue on the other end.
And you'd have to buy two things,
and then it gets really weird. - Well it'd be weird because
you gotta have a place for the tongue to go
and then you gotta have another tongue coming out.
You basically gotta have a mouth.
- Exactly.
- It should have just been a mouth.
They should've just consulted us.
- When I first saw this--
- They shouldn't call it Kissinger either
because that's like Henry Kissinger.
Is he sponsoring it?
- I mean if you buy that add-on
you could kiss Henry Kissinger.
Kinsenger. - Really, oh Kinsenger?
- But you know it's like,
if you did a rolling pin technique,
then it would feel like a rolling,
not that I've ever kissed anyone that way
like a rolling pin.
But I'm just trying, it seems very limited.
- What are you doing?
- Like if you're, like,
if you like rub around on it.
- I can see you trying to kiss like that.
(laughing)
That would explain a lot of things
that your wife has told me. - Hey man.
- Nothing, I didn't say that.
This would be great on a plane.
Sitting next to a stranger,
and like making out with the thing connected to your phone.
- I don't personally ever.
If I'm away from my wife
I don't even ever like make kissing noises over the phone.
Like I've never, like, (smacks lips), I've never done that.
I don't believe in that.
So I'm definitely not going to start making out
with a piece of plastic and pretending that its her lips.
- Maybe, I don't know,
maybe this opens up that world to you.
- Okay we'll see. - I'm actually more concerned.
Does it come with sanitizer?
I want to make sure that,
well what does this thing touch besides my lips?
- Why don't you? Okay.
Now we're going to give you the news and weather
from our home town Buies Creek, North Carolina.
This Friday there is a ribbon cutting
for Kim's barbecue and Seafood House
at 10:50 a.m. sharp, 900 West Broad Street in Dunn.
You're going to have to drive down the street to Dunn.
Now do not be late,
I don't think the ribbon cutting takes very long.
You show up at 11 you'll miss all the fun.
Now I haven't been to the seafood house,
but according to Yelp it has been open
for several years already so I do not have any idea
what the ribbon cutting is celebrating,
but there's only one way to find out.
You just have to show up and see what it's all about.
No word on whether barbecue or seafood
will be served at the ribbon cutting.
It's probably safe to assume that it will be.
But I'm looking out for you,
because Fred Chason's Grandsons has Barbecue.
That's not incorrect English.
It's a restaurant.
I would've said have barbecue
if it was just a couple of guys,
but it's a restaurant
called Fred Chason's Grandsons.
You could pack a lunch,
but if you show up with a lunch
to a restaurant ribbon cutting,
it could be an insult.
So I just say take a chance,
show up hungry, 10:50 a.m.,
now over to Link with the weather.
- I've always wanted to be a weatherman so here I am.
For all you weather lovers let's get to it.
What do we have in store, over here?
This side?
Here we go!
It's going to be nice starting out.
I'm talking like sunny and 61.
But as we lead into the ribbon cutting,
we're talking 64 but there's going to be rain.
- That could be trouble.
- That's gonna be a problem.
I mean is the ribbon made of paper?
- I don't know.
- It's going to shrivel.
- It will just dissolve. - It's gonna disintegrate.
- A ribbon dissolving if that happens.
- So cut it early, and cut it often,
and get there early for the barbecue.
- And seafood. - Don't bring your own lunch.
And then into the weekend woah look,
we have a good Saturday,
because then Sunday, it's going to get shrively again.
- What specifically is going to get shrively?
What're you talking about?
- You know if you get wet.
When you get wet, you shrivel, like your hands.
- In a tub.
- If you're in a tub for a long time.
- Okay I know what you mean.
Our dogs are about the same age.
They recently passed one year in age.
- No they didn't recently pass.
- Oh I'm sorry no.
They recently passed the threshold of a year old.
We're not announcing the death of our dogs.
The combined death of our dogs, no.
That's not what happened.
- About a year old.
- They're about a year old.
And I've noticed something about Barbara.
And that is that she has started to fart.
Not audibly, but I have smelled a distinct fart
that I can tell is not coming from
one of my kids or my wife.
(laughing)
And it just happened about a year in.
Have you been noticing this?
- About a year in, yeah.
- Is Jade farting?
She's a little thing.
- I feed her consistently the same thing.
I don't think she farts much because of that.
And I don't feed her table scraps,
which I think make your dog fart.
- Tater scraps? (laughing)
Don't feed her tater scraps.
- Table scraps.
But I do blame a lot of my farts on the dog.
- It's about the age.
But that is the great thing.
I noticed that Enzo, Stevie's dog,
he has a really rancid fart.
And he's great to blame farts on,
especially when strangers are here,
because we know exactly what Enzo's farts smell like now.
- They get big too.
- But like people we have meeting with don't.
So we will blame it on Enzo.
What I'm getting at is--
- You just wanna talk about dog farts?
- Not everybody has a dog, and if you don't have a dog,
you might want to know whether or not your pet animal farts,
well thankfully science is answering that question,
because on Sunday afternoon,
a researcher Dani Rabaiotti tweeted,
this happened all on Twitter,
she tweeted at biologist David Steen:
A family member asked me the other day if snakes fart
and I did not know the answer to their question.
So do they?
And David replies: sigh, yes.
I don't know why he wanted to sigh about it.
But apparently they do fart,
and this started a Twitter fire storm.
- I mean, they have an anus.
- Yeah they do have an anus Link.
A snake anus.
A snanus.
#Doesitfart blew up,
right out of the snake's anus right on Twitter.
- It blew out. - Took off.
And basically scientists started to confirm
whether or not different animals fart, #doesitfart.
And then Nick Caruso got in on this.
- 'Cause you know scientists are always looking for a way
to feel cool.
And it's like, if we can talk openly about farts
and make a Google spreadsheet about it.
- Yeah the kids will be into science.
- Which is great, I love it.
- So they created this Google spreadsheet,
with all of these Nick Caruso did,
and you can go visit this.
You can't edit it because you're not a scientist.
But you can do it, we've got a link in the description.
Anyway, just a couple of highlights from this,
things that I learned.
First of all, most things fart.
Let me just get that out of the way.
Most animals do fart.
Cockroaches, yes they fart,
manatees fart locomotion.
Chimps, of course they fart,
'cause they're very closely related to us.
- Not locomotion. Buoyancy.
- What I learned is that chimps sometimes fart so loudly
that researchers actually used the sound of their farts
to locate the group of them,
I'm not making this up.
- That's how I know where my granddad is
when I go home and visit, which room he's in.
- Well he's always in the same room
in the same chair every time I've ever been over there.
- And Nan is always moving from room to room
and leaving a trail. - Walking farts yeah.
Fish do also fart,
sometimes they use farts to communicate.
But the biggest thing,
news flash!
My world has been turned upside down.
Birds don't fart.
Put that on a t-shirt.
- Birds don't have an anus?
- No they have an,
I think they have, what is it, a cloaca?
It's where everything comes out of one hole.
- What do you mean everything?
- Everything, everything that you can imagine
comes out of one orifice.
Birds have that,
but apparently everything but farts comes out,
because they don't fart.
I feel sorry for 'em.
- Well how do they, I thought,
they keep all of their farts in,
and that's what makes them fly.
- Nope that's not how it works.
- That's what it is.
- So birds don't fart, also oysters and crabs don't fart.
And the common whelk doesn't fart,
so if you have a common whelk,
which I have no idea what that is, as a pet,
then do not try to blame it,
a fart on it in front of a scientist.
- What's a whelk? - Don't know.
- Alright now let's watch two men shake hands.
Look at that, that's nice.
That's real good, slow.
Was that slow motion?
- I don't think it was slow-mo, but I still liked it.
