( music playing )
Animals are just like us.
They scream when they're ready to love.
It's time to play...
Rhett/ Link:
♪ I want animal healing ♪
- ♪ Oh, baby ♪
down here to choose from.
What their mating calls are.
and we're gonna make our answers by putting them
on the mating melodies board behind us.
These buttons here activate mating sounds.
Everyone should have a mating melodies board
And we're gonna work together to see
if we can get a five for five.
Uh, these are the animals we're choosing from.
Camel, elk, lemur, goat, koala, bonobo,
penguin, and horsie?
All right, hit the first one, Rhett.
- Horse. - Let's hear it.
Uh, okay.
( animal grunting and clicking )
- Okay, don't get so worked up, buddy. - What?
- Whoa. - That sound is like,
like sounds from a construction site.
- Okay, yeah. - That sounds like a dump truck
- You could do it anywhere. - backing up a chain-link fence or something.
You just gotta watch out.
You gotta watch out if security's there.
Now, just to clarify,
these are not the sounds associated
with mating, these are sounds associated with enticement.
- Oh. - I think.
- Pre-mating. - Am I right here?
This is not the sounds of animals actually mating.
This is a mating call.
Nope, we're saving that for another episode.
- Oh, gosh. Okay, good. - What in the world does that animal sound like
when it's actually doing it? Good gracious.
Yeah, that's a big animal.
- That's, yeah-- we're talking camel or elk. - Link: Camel, elk.
- It could be a bonobo. - Rhett: I don't think--
a bonobo is-- a bonobo is basically a chimpanzee.
So, I didn't hear any chimp sounds in there.-
Uh, let's-- we can switch these any time we want.
No, no, 'cause what I was thinking was elk or camel,
but I think elk is,
they have a lot of reverberation ability with that body size.
- All right... - Let's try two.
( gurgling sound )
Somebody's toilet's broken.
What in the world? That could be a horse, man.
- It sounds like... - That could be a horse 'cause--
( imitates horse whinny )
It had a little bit of that in there.
Like a septic system backing up.
I say camel or horse.
- ( sighs ) - We-- once we get--
I feel like I would have heard this sound
being as, my love for horses.
That kind of love, is it?
( laughter )
- No, I just-- - You gotta be watch out
- when you talk about horse love in this context. - ( laughs )
I just mean, I've been around-- never mind.
- ( laughter ) - Okay, um--
So, you're thinking camel?
It does sound like a big animal,
but it might of just been like a dynamic mic really close to a koala.
Yeah, we don't know.
We weren't there when this was happening.
What's the proximity of the mic to the mating call.
Yeah, uh, I-- I think we should go with our instincts.
I was-- my instincts was horse,
but you've been around a lot of horse love,
so, if uh, you wanna go with camel that's fine.
( imitates camel growl )
'Cause they have this like glottal thing happening.
- Yeah, the glottal. - Look at all of that.
- The camel glottal growl. - That's camel.
All right.
...number three. Let's check it out.
( high-pitched screeching )
- Aw. - I sometimes make that sound.
( laughter )
- Begging. - That's the weird thing.
Begging for it.
- Uh. - ( high-pitched ) Please, anybody!
- No. - Um...
This is a penguin, man, right?
It does have a bird. I don't know.
It could be a koala, koala's are deceptive.
If you squeeze a koala in the right place.
it's probably gonna make that sound.
Yeah, and koalas, they don't look like
they're capable of much intimidation.
( high pitched screeching )
These buttons actually do work.
These buttons are tied directly into mating.com.
- Yeah. - ( laughter )
Yeah, actually don't go there.
We have not researched that website.
- Uh... - Let's-- let's--
But goats could kick, goats-- lemurs are capable--
Lemurs!
- Lemurs, man. - ( high pitched screech )
Don't you-- can't you think of a lemur doing that.
Yeah. Lemur. Definitely correct.
( honking and screeching )
Sounds like a mule.
- That is a-- that is-- That is a jackass. - What?
- That's a mule, man. - That's not-- that's not a choice,
but there's a goat choice.
Well, I don't-- I think a horse is closer to a mule
- than a goat. - ( laughs ) Yeah.
That's why I'm saying horse.
- I think penguin, man. - ( honking and screeching )
You think a horse can make a trumpet sound like that?
It sounded so close to a mule.
And you know me... with horses.
- Okay, I-- I think-- - Well, what do you think it is?
I think it could be penguin but you do have a good, uh,
argument for a jackass.
I mean, as a jackass.
- I mean, in reference to a jackass. - You got a laugh out of Stevie.
I don't appreciate that. Wasn't that funny?
And sound number five.
( howling and screeching )
( laughter )
- That's a chimpanzee. - That's two animals.
'Cause that sounded like something--
- I think we can-- - That second one was a cat.
We can make that sound.
( imitates screech )
What's the second part?
( howling and screeching )
( screeching )
( both imitate screeching )
The second one got crazy.
That feels like it's coming from a human--
( high pitched screeching )
( gurgling sound )
Oh! They're coming for us.
- ( laughs ) - I feel like this is a chimpanzee
because I feel like it has the-- a similar, uh,
mouth shape as the human.
That wasn't coming out of one of these, you think?
The second part sounded so much like a cat, though.
And a cat and koala are closer, you know...
- ( laughter ) - A cat and a koala are what?
- Closer. - Because they both start with a "kah" sound?
- Yeah. - That's not how--
- In the alphabet. - That's not how biology works, Link.
So you don't want to switch any.
Like, we're still certain of any of these.
Well, I mean, look at him, look at him.
He's like, "Yeah, I made that sound." Look, come on.
All right, so we're gonna be confident,
we're not making any switches
even though we could.
These are our final answers.
Stevie, let us have it. What is number one?
Stevie:
( animal grunting )
Is what? An elk?
In the end, it might be a bonobo.
We're right. It's an elk.
Stevie:
What? No it's not! No, it's not!
Look at that thing can't make that noise.
They got the mic that close to
- the mating sound of a koala? - Yeah, the mic distance really threw us.
All right, what's the second one?
Stevie:
( gurgling sound )
That's a-- that's an elk.
Now, that's an elk.
Stevie:
Both: Yeah!
Stevie:
( high pitched screeching )
- Sad. - We were right, right?
- Yeah! - Yes!
Stevie:
( honking sound )
( imitates honking )
You didn't believe me, but this is horse.
Stevie:
I told you it was a penguin.
The trumpet sound, man.
It's like a-- ( imitate trumpet horn ) Yeah, man, see...
You should listen to me.
- Stevie:
and I hope you were right.
Stevie:
( grunting and screeching )
It's a goat.
( imitates screeching ) Wah...
Stevie:
What?
That's an elk daddy?
- What? - Elk daddy bringing the heat.
Keeping everybody guessing.
Man, he's trying to look smaller than he actually is.
- Well, we missed two. - Okay.
But we learned a lot.
And I think that matters.
Try those out in your own bedroom.
- ( laughs ) - See what happens.
