What do you do when you find a cat hair in your turkey and dressing?
Let's talk about that.
(Good Mythical Morning Theme Song)
Good Mythical Morning!
Happy Thanksgiving to you, Happy Thanksgiving to you,
Happy Thanksgiving, Nickleby's, Happy Thanksgiving to you!
That's the Thanksgiving Song. Just came up with it.
Is that--when your hair goes up-- is that song gonna never come back?
Yes. My hair's down. It will be up and everything will be okay--
And he'll never sing that song again. Happy Thanksgiving to you.
Sing that to your family! Everybody, hold hands!
Hold hands and sing that song.
And you know what? Bring the family around the screen right now.
Or you can watch it first and make sure you think Uncle Leonard would like it.
-Tell him to put down-- -Uncle Leonard will love this episode.
-Put down the Scotch, Randall-- -Leonard.
Uncle L-, Randall. There's an Uncle Randall out there who's drinking Scotch right now
and he needs to put it down, hold hands with everyone and sing:
Happy Thanksgiving to you (laughs).
Wow. That's the worst idea ever,
to turn the Birthday Song into a Thanksgiving song.
-I'm glad you recognize that-- -I can't take it back now.
This is a one take thing.
I can't take it back now. Just roll on, no edits.
We are sincerely thankful for you. I'm much more thankful for you than other people.
Um. We asked you to ask us for advice. We do this every week.
This week, let's make it Thanksgiving themed.
Yeah, that's a good idea!
Are you thankful that that was the idea?
Yes.
Amber Koreen asks:
Oh, this is a simple one. This is very simple.
Common problem.
Amber, you just have to point it out.
And you can point it out in a way I would point it out if I found hair in anything.
I'd be like, "Oh! Oh. Whoop. I found a hair in my dressing."
"Oh! Oh. I found a hair in the sweet potato pie."
-You be the first to do that-- -And you should probably say cat hair,
-not just hair. -No, no. Don't make any assumptions.
Because if you say cat hair, then she feels like she's a target.
But it could be any--I don't know! It's gray and it's pretty short.
Does anyone have a gray buzz around here?
-Granny does. -Granny probably doesn't have a buzz.
So, it's very quickly going to be obvious that whatever color the hair is,
it's probably the cat.
And then if you break the silence, the next person will be like,
"Yeah. I got a little gray buzz hair in my sweet potato pie too."
I guarantee you that if you break the silence, someone will follow you,
and, before you know it, the entire family will be pointing out cat hairs.
And grandma's gonna feel horrible. But it won't happen next year.
And that's what really matters?
-Happy Thanksgiving to you! -Shh!
Grandma may not even be here next Thanksgiving, man.
You've gotta think about that aspect of it.
This is an opportunity for you to be thankful for the things that really matter.
-You have a grandma-- -If grandma--
-who has cats-- -If grandma is gonna--
Eat the cat covered turkey--
if she's gonna have one more Thanksgiving next year, it needs to be cat hairless.
Or she should get a hairless cat.
Oh. Well you could get it off for Christmas.
Problem solved! That's better than-- forget everything I said.
Get her a hairless cat for Christmas,
-but you've gotta get rid of the cat-- -get rid of the existing cat.
(laughter) That's another episode: How to get rid of a cat.
A hairy cat. Michael Kemp posts:
I'm from Australia, now living in the U.S. --that's the United States--
Yeah.
-What-- -Changed hemispheres.
What advice do you have for first time Thanskgiving-ers?
-Well you can-- -Pace yourself, first of all.
Yeah?
Yeah.
-I mean, there's-- -While eating?
Don't eat as if you need to prove anything, okay?
You're new here. Ease into it.
-Okay. That's good advice. -You can get yourself into trouble.
Uh, I think you have two options, Michael.
Nobody wants you here anyway,
so eating as much as you want isn't going to change anything.
Unless you want to go back to Australia. No, I wasn't going to say that.
Option one is: find an American family, or a friend, who is celebrating Thanksgiving.
It's low pressure. I mean, don't--
I just walk in on a random American family?
Sure! Australian people can do anything they want because of the accent.
We love them.
They can rob you blind and that accent is just like,
"Well he must have meant it in a good way."
-You know what I'm saying? -Right.
-He comes up and shoots you-- -in a Crocodile Dundee way.
Yeah, yeah, he thought I was a wallaby.
I don't know. They're giving you the benefit of the doubt.
-We give you the benefit of the doubt-- -Just because you're Australian.
You can walk in any American's family.
We give you permission to go into an American household...
and have dinner with them.
However, you also can exercise the option of starting your own Thanksgiving traditions.
There are no rules! You can do whatever you want to!
Well you have to be thankful.
You can eat a kangaroo instead of a turkey.
You can turn the turkey upside down.
My wife and I got into an argument about...
which way a chicken should be cooked at one point.
-She came in-- -That had nothing to do with this.
It was upside down, but if you're Australian,
you're in a different hemisphere, the toilet goes the other way.
You can turn the turkey over and serve it a different way and everyone's like,
-"This is Australian style." -You also said cook a kangaroo.
Where's he going to get a kangaroo in the United States?
All Australians carry kangaroo meat with them at all times.
And other misconceptions.
Mmm. We should move on to the Axe Hair Styled in Seconds Challenge.
Yes!
In this week's Thanksgiving themed Axe Styled in Seconds Challenge,
Link has to feed the pilgrim three potatoes with a turkey leg bat.
-Here it is. -Are you ready, pilgrim?
Yes.
Styling begins in three, two, one, go.
(Link) Come on! I know you're hungry.
Open that mouth. Yeah! One!
Not as easy as it looks...
Come on.
Just open that mouth. He keeps closing his mouth.
His mouth is wide open.
Pretty much the whole time, as far as I can see.
Come on, Pilgrim! Open your mouth wider!
Aren't you hungry? It's the New World, man!
(Link) Come on.
Oh! There's two!
Oh! No, you're not done. You'd better get the bat.
I'm done, man! I'm done, look. It looks good!
(Rhett) Okay, with three challenges to go, I've taken a one star lead.
Are you getting your hair ready for that waxing?
That's a big turkey leg, though, man.
-I'll be eating that later. -Oh yeah, really?
-You know what day it is-- -I'm not quite ready for that.
(together) You know what day it is.
-It's Thursday. -It's Thursday.
(together) And Thursday means mail.
And Thanksgiving!
Oh, aren't you thankful for sending us mail?
Because we're thankful for receiving the mail.
I think, this week, the song made this wheel spin.
Yeah, it does.
You know what day it is-- Let's see if it works again.
Yeah. (laughter)
-(together) You know what day it is. It's Thursday...
-Stop. It stopped. See? -It's Thursday.
And if you sing the song a third time, it will get up and float over here.
-(together) You know what day it is-- -Whoa, hands!
(together) It's Thursday...and Thursday...
Welcome to the table, Good Mythical Mail Boulder...
And Thursday means mail.
Wow. Wow, guys.
Huh. We could have something?
Yeah, we received a positive --first, before you read that,
we received positive feedback by bringing the mail boulder over here last week
and so we wanted to bring it over here again in order to inspire you to mail us things...
..to go on this.
If you mail us something, we will put it on here.
And then if we recognize it on the show,
you'll also receive a signed Good Mythical Morning poster.
Huh. Really?
Yes. So who wins this week, Rhett?
Dear Rhett and Link, I have enclosed a pig and a 100 trillion dollar bill for you--
-What?! -For you to give to the boulder.
By the way, this 100 trillion dollar bill is not fake.
It's actually real money from Zimbabwe,
although it's worth only about one dollar in the U.S.A.
Now, I assumed that this was fake because people send us fake large bills all the time.
-100 trillion dollars? I mean-- -They might have a problem with inflation.
It's got a water mark. I mean, it smells real.
I believe her. I do think this is real.
We shouldn't glue it on the boulder.
-We should keep it-- -We shouldn't glue it on the boulder.
And so if things turn around in Zimbabwe,we'll be trillionaires!
We'll rule the world, man!
We're already trillionaires in Zimbabwe, right?
I think that's kind of the point.
Okay, alright. Put it on the boulder.
We're gonna put it on there.
I mean, if things get desperate, if times get deperate--desperate
-"Deperate." -We can, yeah--
If times we get deperate and we start saying deperate instead of desperate...
This is devolving into us just making fun of how we pronounce things.
Yeah. That's pretty much the episode.
We could pull the boulder apart and E-bay all the pieces individually.
Oh, good.
But we'll share the proceeds with each other.
So this is an investment? This is an investment!
That's right. I'll put this down in there.
I don't even have to use glue on that one.
-Okay-- -Send stuff to our P.O. Box.
_Alright! -(together) You know what time it is.
-Hi, I'm Steven Vallard. -And I'm Sophia Vallard.
From Amanda Park, Washington.
(together) And it's time to spin the wheel of Mythicality.
Bam! Look at that!
If you don't want to send us something,
you can always just buy a signed Good Mythical Morning poster.
This one's kind of bent up, but the ones you get in the mail won't be like this.
They'll be rolled.
-They'll be nice. -Nice!
Have a naming ceremony for Rhett's beard.
Alright, what are you gonna name my--
Ladies and gentleman, welcome to the ceremony...
-..where the beard in question is named. -That's me.
The mouth within the beard will present the potential names of said beard...
and by a show of hands--let's do applause--
Okay.
We will determine what name the beard shall be...be...be.
I really narrowed it down two names.
-Name number one...one...one-- -Doug.
Doug is the first one I'm thinking about.
Okay. Let's hear the second...second... second...before we vote...vote...vote.
Bill. (laughter)
Yup. Doug and Bill are the two names that I've chosen.
Via applause, who votes for Doug?
You want me to applaud? Cuz' I prefer Doug.
(laughs) Yeah.
And who, via applause, votes for Bill...Bill...Bill...?
(weak applause off screen) Uh-oh. Now I'm confused.
Everyone's abstaining in the room. (laughter)
It is...Doug-Bill, I guess.
It's equal.
Doug-Bill. It's like a play on words.
I like it.
