What does it take to make our dads laugh?
Let's talk about that.
Good Mythical Morning!
Father's Day is this weekend
and for those of us whose dads live out of town,
it means you better remember to call.
And we're gonna get a jump on that
and call our dads today.
Now they've both appeared on the show before.
It seems like you guys were into that,
so this should be fun.
Yeah, every time that I call my dad,
he tells me about someone who's recognized him
from being on the show.
Of course, that's after he asks them
if they know about the show,
and then if they do,
he tells them who he is,
and offers to take a photo with them.
That is a good strategy.
Yeah.
And this is only gonna fuel that fire.
And in these calls that we're gonna make today,
we're actually gonna see what we can get our dads to do
without them knowing that's what we're trying to do.
It's time for-
We're Calling Our Dads
To Hear That Sweet Sound At Last.
I Love You, Son.
No, Their Laughs.
Okay, we have our dads waiting on the line,
and all that they know
is that we wanna wish them a happy Father's Day
here on the show,
which is technically true.
Yeah.
But we also have a game planned
that they know nothing about.
Right, now we're each gonna come up
with some secret challenges,
that we're gonna give to each other
as we are speaking to our respective dads.
Now the dads have no idea this is taking place
because they also can't see us, right?
We can see them,
but they won't be able to see us.
Our job is to successfully get our dad
to do the task at hand,
for example, if Link challenges me
to get my dad to yell, I'm king of the world!
Well, that's what I gotta try and do.
I can do that, I think I might go harder on you.
Okay, all right.
I might start easier.
Now Stevie is watching as well,
she's present and if it feels like we have failed
or taken too long with any of these challenges,
she's going to five us the red light,
which means we get no points for that,
and we have to move on to a new challenge.
I'm glad that Stevie is the way saying we failed
and not-
Not us.
Not our fathers.
Oh, not our dads, yeah.
And if we get the blue light...
This is magic, can you believe that?
She can do red and blue.
That means we have to wrap up the call.
Each successfully completed task
is gonna be worth two points,
plus every time we happen to make our dads laugh,
we'll get a bonus point.
But we're gonna max out those bonus points
at five bonus points,
because if one of our dads gets read giddy,
then it'll just go off the charts.
Yeah.
And of course, we're not allowed to tell our dads
what's happening or the premise of this game
or to outright ask them to do anything
that the other person's challenging.
Because that wouldn't be fun at all.
So whoever racks up the most points,
wins the ultimate Father's Day gift,
some gosh dang peace and quiet in "Good Mythical More."
While the loser's gonna have to suffer a world
of horrible sounds.
Okay.
You ready to call your daddy?
I'll go first, since the height difference
between my dad and me is the largest.
I got my, Get Your Dad To thing here.
I got my first one.
Hey, Dad, how you doing?
Hey, Rhett, doing fine, how you doing?
Good, happy early Father's Day.
Well, thank you.
When is Father's Day?
Soon. Okay.
You enjoying the retired life?
I am.
I haven't completely retired, you know.
I'm still doing my updates on my books.
Okay, so mild working.
Not full working, but mild working.
I go in when I want to.
I like that, me too.
I've been meaning to tell you,
we were down at the beach recently,
and Shepherd, he got stung by one of those,
what do you call that, it's like a sea creature
that is sort of translucent and it's floating,
and you know, what do you call that thing?
Is this is a test to see if I'm senile yet?
No, I'm having my own senior moment right now.
What do you call that thing?
A jellyfish?
Yeah, a jellyfish!
Right, yeah.
I've been meaning to tell you,
Shepherd got stung by one of them,
but you know what, I peed on him and he's okay.
Oh, okay.
Did it put a kind of welt on him?
Just a kind of welt, just a little bit.
You know, another thing I've been thinking about
is I don't know what your long term plans are,
what are you thinking about maybe post retirement plans
for where you might end up?
Post retirement, isn't that death?
Before death.
I made him laugh.
Your twilight years. That's my point.
Well, I don't have a long term plan.
My plan is to get up tomorrow morning.
Okay, one day at a time, I get that.
But you know, we've got...
Okay, moving right along.
Well, you gonna give me a room at your place?
I mean, yeah, the invitation's always open.
But you don't have a bathroom in that guest room.
We can install one, we can put a Porta John in there.
I don't like Porta Johns.
Something else I've been wondering about is-
Got a lot of questions for your dad.
You know, back in the day,
I have some vivid memories of you,
kind of one in particular of
me and Link making some racket upstairs,
you know, we wrote about this in our "Book of Mythicality"
where you came upstairs and you were a little upset
with all the racket that we were making,
and in my mind, you had on a certain ensemble,
there was a white T-shirt, and then on the bottom,
you had a made a choice with your under garments,
and I was just wondering, what are you sporting these days?
What am I sporting these days?
Right now I'm sitting here with a T-shirt on
in my underwear.
Oh really, okay, well don't pan down.
Now listen, but what specifically, what kind of choices
are you making in that region these days?
In the underwear region? Yes.
I've got with the mid-thigh tight stuff.
Mid-thigh tight stuff,
so would you call those boxers or briefs?
I think I would call them boxers, I guess.
Okay, that's good enough for me.
I think that's wrong, too.
I think those are briefs.
The thing is, some have a fly and some don't.
Does yours?
Some of them do, some of them don't, I got all kinds.
Okay, he's got all kinds.
That can be confusing at times.
Now I know you're from Georgia
and of course now you live in North Carolina,
that's where I consider that I'm from,
but I always thought about that state
that is just below North Carolina,
I mean, come on, be honest,
it's kind of the underbelly, right?
The underbelly of North Carolina.
Well, South Carolina has some nice places.
But if you had to be brutally honest about it,
I mean, what comes to mind?
What comes to mind to me is Charleston is a nice town.
But I mean, there are some parts of South Carolina
that leave something to be desired.
I mean, right?
Of course, that's true of every state.
Every state, right, but specifically,
if you had to just be just lethally truthful
about the underbelly, you would say something like?
This might be leading.
I think this is a little leading.
You're the one failing the test.
I have led the witness, he's a lawyer, he knows that.
You know what-
I like South Carolina.
Now some people would say,
like when your mom and I go to South Carolina,
we always go to North Myrtle Beach,
we don't go to Myrtle Beach.
Right.
'Cause that's a different class.
Right, I completely agree with you.
And you know what, Charles,
he lives in North Myrtle Beach.
That's right, he does.
Yeah, yeah, so he's made the right choice.
He's in a class all his own.
You know, Dad, I think we might be experiencing
some technically difficulties,
is there any way you can make jus a very brief loud noise
any way that you choose,
but if it feels like it's encouraging me a little bit,
that would be great, and if it wasn't with your mouth,
that would be the best.
I don't think I can do that, let's see.
At my age, you don't try that.
I don't know what you think I'm asking you to do.
Something to make noise with.
Oh yeah!
I think he thought you wanted him to fart.
Yeah, he started to reach for the under arm.
Hey, listen, I'll take it, Dad.
I love you, I miss you,
I'm looking forward to seeing you this summer.
I look forward to seeing y'all.
We're gonna have to play some golf together.
How's your game going?
I'm playing tomorrow.
I'm playing tomorrow morning.
All right, Dad, I love you, I'll talk to you soon.
Okay, Rhett, love you too, bye.
Bye. Love ya.
Love you.
He was a little weak on the I love you.
Yeah, what happened?
Hey, that wasn't bad.
That was pretty good.
Lots of leading.
It's like you had a wheelbarrow with him in it
and you were just dumping in.
I didn't know where to go with it.
I mean, okay.
All right, now it's time to call your dad.
Before we do, we're kind of proud dads
of not only our kids,
so I wanna make a plug of what we're proud of,
the Mythical Kitchen channel.
Maybe we're proud granddads,
I don't know what you would call us there,
but check it out,
there always making episodes
that are brimming with culinary chaos.
They bought a $300 Shawarma machine
just to make one meatball sandwich.
I didn't approve that.
Yeah, so check out the Mythical Kitchen channel,
we're so proud of them as fathers.
Speaking of that, okay, are you ready
to present me with some challenges?
I am so, so ready.
All right, you can go ahead and write down
your first one.
Let's see if my dad's there.
Hey, Dad.
Hey, Link, how you doing?
Happy early Father's Day.
Well, thank you.
Happy Father's Day to you too.
That's right.
I always forget that I'm a dad
when I'm wishing you a happy Father's Day.
We need to celebrate.
What are the best plans we can make,
even if it's down the road.
I know what you wanna do,
we've been talking about it.
Well, I thought it'd be nice
if y'all get to come home.
Y'all can come to the beach and see us a little bit.
But then we all plan a trip to all go somewhere too.
That's right, we're talking about going to Hawaii, maybe?
That's what we were talking about.
And when we get there
what is the one word that we want to be able to say
to everybody when we're there.
Like when we wake up in the morning,
and we greet each other, throw leis on each other,
what are we gonna say?
I ain't got the slightest idea.
You know, you can't speak a little Hawaiian?
Not a lick.
Not one word at all comes to mind?
Like hello, but like if you're in Hawaii?
Aloha or something like that.
All right, I think that's a good start.
I'll have to practice.
Well, let's practice right now, aloha.
Aloha.
So what are you drinking these days?
What am I drinking these days?
Like, you know, normally what are you drinking?
Well, when I'm working I'm drinking a lot of water,
and when I come and it's hot
I'm probably having a cold beer.
Nice, I'd like to join you for one of those.
What about for breakfast?
I usually have a boiled egg for breakfast.
What are you drinking for breakfast?
The first thing I drink is some water
and apple cider vinegar,
and then I drink orange juice with my medicine,
then I drink a cup of coffee.
Okay, so you're pretty hydrated.
No milk, huh?
Unless I'm eating cereal instead of the eggs.
Have you ever thought about a milk alternative?
Well, no, but I mean, I'm probably game
for most anything.
Right, would you be willing to commit
to me that you're gonna try a milk alternative?
What is a milk alternative that you want me to drink?
It's like milk, but it doesn't come from a cow,
you know, like soy or almond.
I'd probably try the almond, I don't want no soy.
Agreed.
Have you ever heard of oat milk?
Did you say oat milk or goat milk?
Oat like goat without the G.
No, I haven't ever heard of oat milk.
Okay.
Well, I used to grow some oats,
so I know where they come from.
They make it into milk now
and I'd love for you to try it.
What are you gonna do,
you gonna send me some of it?
Yeah, I'll mail you some oat milk.
How's the humidity down there at the beach?
It's heating up, we got to about 92 today.
Does that mean the bugs are coming up?
You getting eat up?
Oh yeah, there's some bugs coming out.
There's some sweating going on where I'm at.
Like, can you be more specific
about the bugs that are coming out.
Me and Nancy went somewhere the other day
and she found a black snake in the bushes
and she wanted me to get a stick and get it
and I wanted to just catch it
and put it back in the woods.
So I mean, that's some of the bugs and stuff
that's coming out.
So I didn't know a black snake was a bug.
It's not, but they eat a lot of bugs,
that's the reason there wasn't many bugs around.
Right.
Well, it's actually good to have a black snake around
'cause you don't wanna get up with,
you know, the bites from the specific bugs, right?
Yeah, and we have some pretty good size mosquitoes here.
I'm telling you.
And you know, they'll go after certain people,
it's like a blood type thing, don't you think?
Well, they don't like me much,
but they like Nancy, my wife a whole lot.
Yeah, I know Nancy.
Yeah, you know Nancy, I hope so.
Yeah, Nana.
That's right.
Dad, you know, I've always wanted to ask you
how do you feel about what I've called you,
I guess I've always called you Dad,
but maybe sometimes Daddy, right?
No, only Dad, I don't like Daddy.
Why not?
Daddy would've been all right
when you were five or six,
but now that you're a grown man
I think Dad fits a lot better.
Right, right, so what do you think my kids
should call me, 'cause Lando at 11
versus Lily at 18, what do you think
they should be calling me?
And just you know what, let's role play that right now.
You're my daughter and you want something,
so you've knocked on my door, I've answered the door,
go for it.
Well, you know, Dad,
I'm graduating from high school
and getting ready to go to college,
and you know, I really would like instead of this car
I've got that I'm driving now, I'd like a new car.
Oh, you would, would you?
And I'd like for it be a convertible.
Oh, you would?
We live in California, and you know,
I've been smart at school,
and I really deserve-
You really have, daughter.
A new Camaro convertible.
Whoa, this is specific.
Well, I'm gonna have to ask your granddaddy
to help pay for that.
Well, maybe I should've kept that Corvette
and just sent it to her.
Yeah.
Well, you know, that sure makes me feel frisky.
This is really going off the rails.
Hey, when little girls look at you
and then they grow up to be big girls,
they can ask for a lot bigger things
than what they used to ask for.
Okay, you don't have to be my daughter anymore.
Let's move on.
So how are the dogs doing?
Gypsy's doing good, Foxie's doing pretty good,
she had a little spell
where she's got this cancer in her throat
the other day, yesterday, but she's doing all right.
Okay, so you got the dogs there.
How do you talk to the dogs,
'cause you've heard the way that I talk to Jade,
and now Jasper.
I talk to them like this
and I say, hello little Jade and Jasper.
How do you talk to Foxie and Gypsy?
I just kind of talk to them
like I'm talking to a person.
Oh.
I talk to them and say, hey Gypsy, how you doing?
And you know, hope you have a good day.
Daddy's got to go to work.
Okay, so you call yourself Daddy
when talking to them.
What if they were a cat,
how would you talk to them, like In cat language?
In cat language, I'd probably just say,
meow, meow, how you doing?
Right, exactly.
All right, Dad, we're gonna make that trip to Hawaii
and we're gonna be aloha-ing left and right
one of these days.
But before then I'll come home
and I'll share a cold beer with you.
All right.
All right, I love you and I'll talk to you later.
Love y'all too and happy Father's Day.
See, he said I love y'all, see?
I think he was talking about me and my wife and family.
Yeah, everybody.
Not you.
Okay.
I gotta say something.
I got more points.
That was tough.
He said aloha far after, in my opinion,
the red light came on.
Yeah, that's true.
But even if we took that away,
you would still win.
Just eking it out.
I mean, those meows, that was not easy.
Yeah, congratulations, that was good
and he really went for it.
You didn't even have to push him too hard
to get him to start meowing.
What are our conversations with our dads gonna be like
after this?
'Cause we're gonna have to...
We'll just be like, watch the video,
and let's not discuss it.
It seems likes after a couple of questions,
they were just like, I'm just gonna go with this.
Yeah, it went to a weird place.
I don't really enjoy my dad role playing as my daughter.
That's weird.
Well, I did, I thought it was awesome.
Okay, thank you to our dads, we love them.
And congratulations to Link,
you're gonna get to enjoy some dang peace and quiet
in "Good Mythical More."
Happy early Father's Day.

Did someone gesture at me?
Sorry, I'm easily distracted.
I'm like a bird of prey that sees something in the distance
and then immediately is like, should I kill that?
Nicole, just stop moving.
