- What were your favorite favorites from us, your favorites?
- Well let's talk about them.
(upbeat pop music)
Good Mythical Special Holiday Episode.
- This is officially our last video of the year!
Did you hear that pop?
- Yeah, that's the pop of 2019 just closing up.
- Yep, just popping and closing.
Two pops closing things down for the year
but don't worry, we'll be back on January 13th of 2020
with a new season of Good Mythical Mornings
so thank you for making us a part of your daily routine.
Thank you also for subscribing to the Rhett & Link channel
because we're gonna be uploading vlogs every Saturday
starting at the beginning of the year.
- And thank you also for subscribing
to the brand new Mythical Kitchen channel
so you can watch Josh cook up all the incredible things
that he's gonna be doing over there.
- And thank you also also
for checking out the Mythical Society.
There's exclusive behind the scenes content,
lots of rewarding stuff for people who joined.
- So rewarding.
- Third degree member,
if you joined to become a third degree member
before the end of the year, (stutters).
- You know what, you'll get there.
I'm gonna give you one more pop.
- Oh that wasn't.
- There you go, now your brain's right.
- [Both] Ooh!
- Why you gotta stick your finger.
- You make an O like that,
I want to put the finger in it.
- What are you, Mrs Joe Biden?
(laughs)
- Get a Rhett & Link Chia set.
- Okay, one week of reacting
to your favorite GMM moments is coming to a close,
so it's only fitting to end things
on your absolute favorite moments of the year.
- [Announcer] Let's start things off at number five
with Five Seconds of Summer
and countless seconds of lung capacity.
Three, two, one.
(all vocalize)
- Sounds great.
Oh, you really hit something there, hit a resonance.
(vocalizing)
- Bring it! - I hate you.
- You earned it, man.
- Crazy!
It's all that Tokyo stuff.
- Yeah it is. - The what stuff?
- Whoa!
Okay.
- Fully hitting it, that was a short one.
- Okay, now you see me holding onto the podium there,
in the middle? - Yeah?
- I was fainting. (both laugh)
I specifically remember that moment,
like when you said "Tokyo"
and I was like, I gotta do that now and I did it
and then when I was done, I grabbed onto the thing
and then I saw the world begin to close
and I just saw one member of the band.
I don't even remember which one.
- And then he came back, it expanded back out?
- Yeah, because I braced myself.
- You took a deep breath
and you put your head between your knees?
- Yep. - I didn't see you do that.
Wow, I would have loved it if you would have fainted.
I mean, it wouldn't have been number five,
that probably would have been number one.
- Well, okay I'll faint next year.
- [Announcer] Our fourth favorite moment of the year
showcases GMM superstar Link Neil at his best and worst.
- Alright, let's find out what I'm gonna sausage smash.
Oh yeah, what's on my face?
(laughs)
- [Rhett] That looks like an urn of sorts.
- Is there ashes of someone in this?
- [Announcer] Yes, that is Mythical Chef Josh.
(laughter) - After he's been.
- That's the rest of his body.
- I mean, this is impossible right?
- If you knock the urn off of the table with the salami
and it falls on the ground and busts,
that doesn't count as a smash.
- [Announcer] Correct.
- Oh, okay.
- He's gotta get that height.
- I don't know, maybe it's break away urn, you know?
Here I go.
No response.
(screams) (smash)
(cheering)
(roars)
(drumroll) - It's clad display like.
- That was pretty impressive right?
- That was very impressive.
Now I think this is actually
not as simple as you might think.
It might bounce back if you, I mean,
you know what, I'm gonna stay out of it actually.
You wish you had the pool noodle, don't you bro? (laughs)
Yeah you do.
Bust that thing, right?
- You are right.
She's holding her ears.
This thing is so heavy,
there's not a lot of accuracy involved.
Alright, here I go.
Three, two, one.
(hammer smacks) (laughter)
Why couldn't we just have stopped?
- Somebody was excited. (laughs)
- Why couldn't we just have stopped with the urn thing
because that was the moment, that was the moment y'all.
That second thing wasn't a moment.
- That was really unnecessary.
- I freaking busted an urn with a salami.
- Yeah, but now here's the problem.
- You've never been as impressed with me.
- Ever since that point,
you've been going into people's homes
and busting their grandparents' urns with your salami,
and it's really embarrassing.
- Have you ever been that impressed with me?
- This feels like a trick question
and you should be insulted either way.
(both laugh)
- Okay, fair enough, don't answer it.
- Okay, let's see the next one.
- I just want you to be proud of me.
- [Announcer] In our number three spot,
Rhett & Link very politely and very briefly
disagree about how to perform a proper reverse slow-mo slap.
- The winner overall gets to reverse slow-mo slap
the loser in the face. - Sounds fun.
- Thank you for taking your job so seriously,
Lucas and Paisley, you did a fabulous job.
You did miss the meat brain a little bit.
- Hold on, you're delaying the fact
that I get to slow-mo slap you in reverse.
So the first thing I gotta do, wait that side?
- I would say you followed through, right?
- I gotta start...
- This is painful to watch.
Well if you do that, then I'mma go this way,
and that's not for camera, trust me.
- I won man, let me just control it just a little bit,
just a little bit.
Just put your face like this.
- This is not how a slap ends.
What are you doing?
- I'm reversing the slap.
I'm starting and I'm reversing.
- When you slap, you stop right there.
- [Announcer] Guys, I've told you about this.
- Dude doesn't even know how to slap.
Let me show you how to slap.
- No, I don't want to have to go all the way past you man.
- Listen, I'm on the freaking edge man.
I am so frustrated.
It was a brain, I'm just telling you.
- You want me to go like this and then grasp your face,
and then leave it like that?
That's gonna be impossible.
- Listen, when you slap you follow through
so you need to start there and then you come back together.
- I'm starting from the moment of impact.
- Why would you do that?
- My slap starts at the moment of impact.
- Don't touch my face.
- Does this do anything?
- When you slap somebody, you follow through man.
Yes or no? - I'm saying that.
- So you follow through.
- [Announcer] Guys, I thought this was a safe prize
and here we are.
- And now, what do you do?
- But you want me to make contact with your face
and see, now look that doesn't work!
That won't work, that won't work man.
- Roll that in reverse.
- No, we have to do it with perfect timing.
Please roll it in reverse.
You have to come all the way and I have to catch your...
No, slow down, I have to catch your face right here.
I have to slap you on this side of your face,
that's why I was trying to start there.
See, I have to catch your face for a small moment.
Here we go, come on, come on, come on.
Catch it and then let it go.
But really what I wanted to do
is I really wanted to press down.
- Well I want to push on your face too.
- What is wrong with him, do you see this?
Who has the anger problem in this relationship?
- Pushing on my face has nothing to do with this exercise.
- Who has the anger problem in this relationship?
- [Announcer] Thanks for liking, commenting and subscribing.
You know what time it is.
- Wait, what do you mean who has the anger problem?
Why can't we both have the anger problem?
I'm not saying I don't have it.
- I'm not engaging in this, I'm done.
- Listen, you know what, it's not your fault
and it's not my fault.
It's whoever's fault it was to do the slapping thing.
- Yeah, whose idea was that?
- Wasn't my idea.
- Oh Ellie, you're taking credit for that?
Okay.
- [Announcer] Our number two moment
is actually a bunch of moments.
Here's a year long look at Link feeding Rhett strawberries.
- Imagine being the first person
to ever see one of these in the wild.
- I was. - That was you?
- Yes. - How did you react?
- I was amazed.
That was the first time it ever happened?
- That's what we'd do in between shows.
- I gotta keep him happy, I got to keep him happy.
- He hand feeds me strawberries.
I'm not awkward at doing it.
- If the man discovered the strawberry,
you got to feed it to him.
- Yeah, the discoverer of all strawberries
deserves a little bite every now and again.
Sandals are meant to be on the black top,
you know what I'm saying?
Like they get hotter.
- I dropped one.
You think they get hotter, huh?
- And your feet are the hottest part of your body,
everybody knows that.
Especially on me.
- Well I'm not gonna disagree with that.
- Thanks.
- It's not that I like your feet,
it's that I think you're ugly. (laughs)
- You know how you like to ask me questions on the street?
- Hey man, I'm wondering if I put a water balloon
down in a margarita-- - Right?
- You know. - I follow, yeah.
- If we left it there for a month,
what do you think would happen?
- Well, I would think that the balloon itself
would prevent anything happening to the water.
This turned green but stayed dirty, that's what I guess.
- Alright, well our final answer is blue.
- You know what, maybe the things in the soil,
maybe the things in the soil consume them.
But you know what, you did your experiment in the 90s
and toilet paper has changed quite a bit.
- Did you know that was a packing peanut?
- What? (both laugh)
Here's the problem is that
this whole thing has ruined me now
because now whenever my wife and I get into an argument,
she breaks out the bowl of strawberries and she just,
I just submit immediately.
It's just like, you put one close to my mouth
and I just have to, I gotta bite it.
- I haven't realized that,
but I need to always have a bowl of strawberries
over here to do that.
- Yeah, you want to calm a big boy down,
give him a bowl of strawberries.
- So, those are some special moments.
- That was real special. - It's been a special year.
- I can't imagine anything more special than that.
- It's been a special year.
I mean, 2019 is not just,
will not just be remembered as the year before 2020.
It will mostly be remembered as that.
In the distant future, people will be like 2019,
do you remember that?
And we'll say, right before 2020?
But for us, especially because of this week of look backs,
we're gonna know what 2019 meant to us.
What did it mean to you Rhett?
- I don't know, I'm about to find out apparently.
- It all comes down to this moment, the number one moment?
- This is what I'm going to base
my entire perception of the last year on,
is what you voted as your favorite moment of the year.
- This is what GMM meant in 2019.
- [Announcer] And finally, the number one favorite
Mythical moment of 2019 is,
The Real Bleak Creek Documentaries.
Rhett and Link go back to Buies Creek where it all began.
- It's the most unsettling thing that I've ever--
(Link screams)
- Welcome to Buies Creek.
- The gray two storey is the house I grew up in.
- Here lies Tucker, my dog.
Every time I talk about it,
I'm like I shouldn't be talking about this.
This is a PR problem.
Get that off me.
I want you to film it before it kills me.
- I cannot believe this is still here.
- We found the rock.
- [Rhett] Why you gotta be up here with me?
- You see the big tree guys?
It's this way, so you were right.
- Who was right?
- I think that we owe who we are
to the toxic things that got into our bodies as children.
- [Link] I'm out of shape.
- Link and I, we had that little Nerf ball
and we would throw it at each other's nuts.
- Small targets. (laughter)
- I'm so glad that you guys voted this the top thing
because I think it was very meaningful to go back
and then to be able to share it as part of the show
for those few days.
I'm glad it got views as well.
- It got views.
I'm glad it got views, man.
- Hey, we're gonna do this just for us.
I don't know if anyone's gonna care.
I don't know if anybody's gonna watch
but it'll be fun for us, and it definitely was fun for us
but it was fun for you too, so.
- It was special, it was your favorite moment of the year.
What else can we say?
Well, what we can say is we're gonna get one last present
and this present is from all of the crew,
just from everybody,
and giving us that present is someone who represents
our favorite crew member of all, David Hill.
He's not necessarily our favorite crew member,
but he represents our favorite crew member.
- Merry Christmas.
- Haven't we already opened this box?
Did they re--
- Thank you David Hill.
- It feels cold.
- [David] Take a look, enjoy.
- Oh, look at that, Employee of the Year.
- I didn't know that that was an honor
that we bestowed on anyone.
- You guys, oh, this is so, I'm taken aback.
- Did you make this yourself?
- No! - [Rhett] Why did you sign it?
- What, is that?
Somebody forged my name.
Y'all know my writing, I love y'all.
- Congratulations David.
You know what, we've had some great moments.
- Yes, we have, yes.
Like the inspection.
Remember I gave you an invasive doctor's exam?
- I'll never forget that.
- Invasive doctor's exam.
- And that time you filled in for David Dobrik.
- Oh yeah, the burrito.
Yeah, had to eat some play dough but hey, I got over it.
Got you back on that one with the seaweed.
- All of these things made you
make yourself Employee of the Year.
- Oh no, it's from y'all.
I am so grateful for my fellow employees, crew members.
- Do you want us to put this up or do you want it?
- Oh, it would be special
if you could put it next to your Merle Haggard records,
so please, that would be great.
- Okay, put it on the Merle wall, okay.
You know what, we'll consider it, we'll consider it.
- I mean, when I look at this,
I might put it by my mirror in my home bathroom
because whenever I look at that,
I mean get rid of that part but that, that's pretty nice.
Like hey. - It is very encouraging.
- I'm still grateful for my picture to be hung up
in any of your personal spaces.
- We'll make copies.
- We might merchandise this.
- Okay, thank you David Hill
and thank you for making an incredible year.
Again, we're gonna be back with season 17, what?
Season 17 of Good Mythical Morning on January 13th.
Until then, Happy New Year.
- Thank you so much.
Be a mythical place.
