-It's always a joy
to see both of you.
Thank you for being here on our Fallontine's Day show.
When I think of a bromance, I think of you guys.
-Thank you, Jimmy. -We appreciate that. -Yeah.
[ Laughter ] You guys have been friends for nearly 40 years.
-Yeah. -We talked about this on the show.
You were in detention in grade school. [ Laughter ]
Here you are in seventh grade. Look at this.
[ Awws ] -So studious.
[ Laughter and applause ]
-What is the secret to such a long-lasting friendship?
Have you ever had fights or conflicts?
-Well, we're actually -- We're kind of going through
something right now, to be honest with you,
[ Laughter ] because Link, in a mountain, biking accident
broke his collarbone in December,
so, he's basically fully recovered, but he wore a sling.
-Yeah, I was wearing a sling for like
the whole month of January on the show.
-Right. And what I realized, at the time --
and this is the source of the conflict --
is that, when I get excited
about something that's happening on the show --
and, of course, we sit as Rhett & Link,
so nobody gets confused, just like we're doing right now --
[ Laughter ] I'll hit him in the shoulder.
I'm, "Hey!" You know, I'm having a good time.
I'm punching my buddy, you know? -Yes.
-And I realized I actually -- I hit him quite a lot.
[ Laughter ] -And he had his -- And you were wearing a sling.
-Yeah. -Guy's got a broken collarbone.
-So, I've been trying to find like a new approach
to like connect, you know.
-See, your reaction's getting better.
-Yeah. Yeah. -I mean, you're getting really good.
[ Laughter ] -Now that I've gotten rid of the sling,
I've finally gotten good at it.
-Like a wax on/wax off type of thing.
-Yeah, but I haven't really landed on anything
because this feels a little bit weird. -Yeah, don't do that.
-You said you got a little kind of testy, having this sling.
-I did, yeah. -Yeah.
-I got a little antsy. I wanted to get out of it.
Actually, I'd planned, like the last day I had to wear it,
we were shooting "Good Mythical Morning"
and I said, "I'm just going to Hulk out of this thing.
I'm not going to tell Rhett about it.
It's going to be a big surprise.
It's going to be just this huge moment for our audience
and for Rhett, for me to just break out!"
-Yeah. -But it didn't --
It wasn't as easy as I thought it was going to be.
[ Laughter ] -It wasn't as smooth as that, no.
I want to show you. Here's Link trying
to Hulk out of his sling. Check this out. [ Laughter ]
-[ Breathing deeply ]
Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!
[ Laughter ]
Aah!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!
Aah! Aah! Aaaah!
[ Laughter ] Aah!
Aaaaaaah!
[ Cheering, whistling, and applause ]
-[ Laughs ] Your reaction.
-Hey, listen, if he's anything, he's subtle.
[ Laughter ] -Yeah. You're currently
in Season 23 of "Good Mythical Morning."
-Thank you. -You have 11 billion views
across all channels.
[ Cheering and applause ] -Crazy. -Congratulations.
You have a new new thing that you've been doing,
that is almost like a talent that you think that you have.
-Yes. -A special talent.
-Actually, today's episode of "GMM"...
-It just dropped. -...we brought out a panel of people
and we said that we could identify best friends.
You know, I mean, because we've been best friends so long,
we can, you know, we spot them.
[ Snapping fingers ] Almost instantaneous.
-And it turns out we actually could not.
[ Laughter ] In fact, we failed in every single opportunity
and so we thought maybe tonight
we could have a chance at redemption
and you could join us and see if you're any better than us
at spotting best friends. -Alright.
-Look in the audience. -So can we go in the audience
and see two people?
Just find two people, random.
[ Cheering and applause ]
Alright, alright, now don't say.
Alright, alright.
Alright, now, what do we have to do?
We have to decide if they're strangers,
best friends, or friends? -They could be lovers, you know.
[ Laughter ] -We don't know. -It's Valentine's Day.
-Do you have to ask them questions? -Yeah.
-Well, could you guys just kind of
make eye contact with one another?
-I don't know. They can't really do it.
-Okay, they're very smiley, giggly.
Okay, if you were coming back from a long trip
and you were greeting one another,
how would you greet one another?
Just, you know, physically.
[ Laughter ] Oh, yeah, they're definitely best friends.
[ Laughter ]
It's written all over their faces.
-I would say that I'm not sure.
I'm not sure they know each other.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. -They are not even acquainted.
-You think? These people did not know each other until tonight. -At all.
[ Laughter ] -That's what I'm saying.
-Is that true? -What about you? -Yep.
-We do know each other.
[ Laughter ]
-Well, act like it! -Is everything okay? -Yeah.
[ Laughter and applause ]
-Alright, let's try again. Look.
You didn't redeem yourself. -Okay.
Give us another chance.
-Let's find two other people
and see if we can try this again.
Where else can the camera go?
[ Cheering and applause ] Those guys?
-Here we go. Yeah. -Okay.
Okay. There kind of matching, in an odd way.
-Can we see, you know, your secret handshake?
[ Laughter ]
-We don't have one.
-Make one up.
[ Laughter ]
[ Laughter and applause ]
[ Cheering and applause ] Not bad.
-That was a good secret handshake.
It's good. It's so secret, they don't even know it.
[ Laughter ]
-How would you guys greet one another,
if you had been apart from each other for, you know,
hadn't seen each other in a year and you're reunited,
you see each other after a year. How would you embrace?
-[ Scoffs ] How would you embrace?
[ Cheering and applause ]
[ Rimshot ]
-I say --
I say they're -Strangers!
-strangers. Strangers! -Strangers! -Never met.
-Never met. Never met. -Never met.
Will never talk again.
[ Laughter ]
Never speak another word to each other.
-I think you might redeem yourselves.
What do you think? Do they know each other?
[ Cheering and applause ]
-Yeah.
I think they might be in a relationship.
-Alright. Are you guys in a relationship?
-Yes. -Yes!
-We just got engaged.
[ Cheering and applause ] -Oh, my!
[ Rimshot ]
-Happy Fallontine's Day!
The very talented Rhett & Link.
Congratulations.
