(Link laughing) - I'm gettin' ya.
I got ya!
I really got ya!
(Link laughing erratically)
Link.
(Link moans)
- What? (laughs)
(poppy electronic music)
Welcome to Let's Talk About That, the show about the show.
I'm Stevie, part of your average family.
I've got a dad, a mom and a sister.
There is Donnie, we found him,
and Darwin, he found us.
Oh yeah, about our house: it moves,
because we travel all over the world.
You see, my dad hosts this nature show and my mom shoots it.
Okay so we're not that average, and between you and me,
something amazing happened and now I can talk to animals.
It's really cool, but totally secret, and you know what?
Life has never been the same.
Today's guests probably have no idea
where that quote is from.
Please welcome Rhett and Link.
(crew applauds and cheers)
I'm clapping now as well. - Don't tell me what that is,
but-- - I changed that.
- I think it's-- - It's a show obviously.
- It's a show. - Yeah?
- It's Dora the Explorer.
- Close kind of.
- What did you say, you can speak--
- She can talk to animals and her dad,
they're just in the wild and she talks to animals.
This show was on slightly after it was okay
for me to watch it, like my younger sister watched it a lot.
You're never gonna get it, it's The Wild Thornberrys.
Nickelodeon show, 1998 to 2004.
- The Wild Thornberrys? - An animated series.
- And animated series and every intro started with that
and I probably botched it and I'm probably gonna hear
about it in the comments but I tried.
- All you Wild Thornberrys fans.
- If you wanna send me any more intros that are difficult
to say, do it and then we can talk about it afterwards.
- They don't necessarily have to be that long though.
- That was a little longer than I was comfortable with but--
- I was just standing over there.
- Are you excited to hear what we're doing today?
On this Saturday? (Rhett and Link clap)
- So glad I got up for this.
- I have slightly compromising footage of Link in his car.
- Oh good. - We're going to celebrate
your birthday, a little belated, couple days belated,
but I didn't get to celebrate it with you on the day--
- That's okay, I'm all right.
I'm doing fine.
- And finally I'm gonna blindfold you and do things to you
that you don't know about.
- Love it. - Okay.
Great, but first, we have to drink our beverage of the day.
This beverage only comes in two bottles,
so I have two bottles and a glass.
Any preferences?
- Why don't I? - Here.
You guys can have a bottle and a glass.
You can determine-- - Just give us a bottle
and glass. - And today's drink
is called Malk. - This is Malk.
- Malk, does that remind you of a YouTuber?
- Yeah, Julian Smith. - Yes.
- Did they ask his permission?
- I don't believe so.
I don't believe Julian has moved to the cold-pressed
Malk coffee business.
- I don't know, he could be getting royalties.
You don't know, he's sneaky.
- That's true. - Okay so it is
cold-brew coffee and--
- It's pecan milk.
- I would call it pee-can milk.
- Pee-can milk. - Pee-can, yes.
- Could you pour me a little?
Can you shake it and give me a little?
- Do we shake this? - Does it say shake?
- Does it say?
Shake well.
- If you haven't seen Malk, Julian Smith's sketch
from years ago, I'm sure it still holds up.
Watch it, enjoy it-- - Yeah I watched it recently,
it's great.
This is a plug for Julian Smith's Malk video.
(chuckles)
Let's taste it, let's do it.
- I'm just waiting to get poured.
- Enjoy within seven to 10 days of opening.
Made in Texas.
- I haven't had pecan milk. - Oh that's plenty.
You know, I just-- (Stevie chuckles)
You know what cold brew does.
- What do you mean? - You know what cold brew
does for me.
- [Stevie] It's mostly pecan milk.
- Oh is that all you want? - Dink it.
You wanted half from you and half from me.
- Whoa!
Hey good sound. - And sink it.
Oh yeah.
I like that.
- It tastes good, but I don't know, I find the concept
of pecan milk a little pretentious.
- I like it a lot, man.
- You drink oat milk.
- Somebody's just out there trying to find
the next nut to squeeze.
You know what I'm saying?
I would drink this for money.
Just because I find pecan milk pretentious
doesn't mean I wouldn't drink it for money.
- Okay well speaking of other things you'll do for money,
when this comes out, you will probably be in North Carolina
'cause last night you were at the NC State Fair.
- Oh what a night it was.
- Man.
- Last night we tried out our...
Doing a full-length musical concert.
- Musical concert, yeah. - It went great.
- I feel that it did. - I hope we survived.
- And then we got on a red eye
and came right here to be on this show with you.
- Oh, well we kind of were pretending that
that wasn't the truth and then you at the end pretended
that that was, so I'm lost.
- Played it both ways. - But what I wanted to say--
- All options. - Is that the majority
of the audience was not at that show that happened
last night in the time that you're watching this.
On Ear Biscuits last week or the week before,
you had mentioned, Link, that you were rehearsing
on your own in the car on the way to work
and that you might look a little odd while doing so--
- Yeah. - And I thought,
we need to see this, so we sent you with Ben
who now hates me, in the car. - After last week.
- Yeah-- - You made up.
You made up, it's cool.
He's just not gonna back over things and run away anymore.
- To see what it was like-- - We also promised we weren't
gonna talk about it a week later.
- In the car with you, here we go.
- Welcome to my car.
I've been asked to take you guys on a ride-along
to show what it's like on my commute into work
as I practice the songs that I'm gonna be performing
at our concert.
First thing I do is, I crank up my car,
and then I put my seatbelt on.
I gotta take these glasses off,
gotta put 'em in a protective case,
and then I gotta put these glasses on.
These are more suitable for sunny environments.
I go to my practice playlist.
Rhett gives me a hard time about how long it takes me
to get ready to drive.
I mean it literally takes me sometimes 10 minutes
to leave my driveway.

Ever since Rhett wrote me a letter
and said he didn't wanna carpool anymore.
That's fine, I have my podcast.
(upbeat electronic music)
Welcome to Ear Biscuits, I'm Link.
- [Link Speaks Over Rhett Voiceover] And I'm Rhett.
This week at the round-table of dim lighting,
we are exploring the question
is texting ruining friendships?
- Yeah.
You see how hard it is to lip sync yourself
to your own podcast?
- [Rhett Voiceover] Comedy duo Rhett and Link
will be live at the NC State Fair, October 12,
7:30 p.m., Dorton Arena!

- See sometimes you're practicing,
you just find yourself yell-rapping at an elderly couple
at a stoplight.
I'm not nervous about messing any of these songs up.
I'm gonna be great at all of 'em.
I'm gonna nail it.
♪ You are the classic example of the inverse ♪
I don't remember that part.
Who wrote this crap?
Well I hope you enjoyed your ride-along with me, Link,
as I practice the songs that compose my concert
at the North Carolina State Fair along with my friend Rhett.
We're gonna make total fools of ourselves
in front of family, friends, and other fair-goers.
By rapping.
Hmm.
It's gonna smell like cow manure there.
See what you missed when you don't ride
into work with me anymore?
- I've never felt better about my decision
to drive myself to work.
- Yeah.
There were a couple times when you were literally
looking down in your lap as the car was going
on the highway and then there was that part
where you were like this which I was just confused
as to what was happening with the car?
- It's a self-driving car.
It's a Scion. - Oh (chuckles).
- I'm concerned.
I'm concerned about you trying to do those two things
on the road, driving and anything else.
(chuckles)
Having just seen it a little bit.
Now to clarify, we're not carpooling because
we're going to different gyms. (chuckles sarcastically)
(laughs)
- That is--
- So glad you clarified that one.
- We decided to go to different gyms.
- Pity me not.
- You wrote the letter about that then.
- I was like, "Link, I hate to tell ya,
"I'm gonna stop going to your gym."
I got hurt at his gym.
I went to his gym--
- My gym is like an upper echelon type scenario.
- I told them, I was like, I need to get my back in shape.
And then I hurt my back, I was like, screw this!
I went to the place that helps my back.
- [Stevie] That'll do it.
- And so now, one of the benefits is,
we don't have to carpool anymore (chuckling).
- It's a bit dangerous.
I mean, but hey-- - Also I gotta say--
- I had to be good with the concert.
- When a young woman is walking across the crosswalk
and you go,
nice, or whatever you said (laughing).
- I didn't say nice.
I was rapping. - You said something
that was akin to-- - Singing.
I'm not afraid of the dark.
- What she was seeing was, this guy.
This guy thinks I look nice.
(laughing)
Not this guy is rapping to his own song.
And he's pleased with himself.
- Yeah, yeah, you might wanna go back
and explain that to her.
See if you can track her down.
- Okay for your birthday, I wanna do something
that I've never done before so really it's mostly for me,
but I thought that you would appreciate it.
- Okay.
- On the expensive food episode,
there was caviar on everything, but you guys didn't touch it
because you said that you didn't like caviar,
but the caviar was the most expensive part of everything
so I felt like we should all collectively experience,
well I don't know if you've experienced, I haven't,
the Russian caviar and vodka situation.
Like have you ever had that?
- No, that's how it should come, together?
- Yes, so they do caviar and straight vodka
and then bread with butter on it.
So I invited Josh to come-- - Oh no.
- Join us because I really wanted to
experience it and it's a celebration.
- Well then why does Morgan have our spit buckets on hand?
- I'm not gonna spit it out.
- Thank you, Morgan.
- I think it's gonna be an experience
that we're all going to remember.
- Hey Josh.
- Josh, you like this, right?
- Yeah, I'm a big fan of caviar.
- And we have-- - What do you like about it?
Because I'm not a picky eater, you know that.
- Gosh.
- Yeah but it's just very concentrated flavors
of the sea and when you try different caviars,
they kind of express different notes,
they have different textures, it's one of those things
like wine where you kinda really dive into
the culture behind it and that's what makes it special.
- Okay cool.
So-- - I mean.
- How do you do it. - Dish it out, man.
- Yeah so, typically, you carry the spoon
in your back pocket.
- Step one. - Keep it warm.
- Like all Russians. - Exactly.
All Russians have a spoon on them at all times.
- I'm actually excited about this.
- You like caviar? - I like things
that are super pungent,
so you're kind of like, when you take a bite,
you're telling yourself (bleep) yourself,
but in a good way.
- Oh wow. - You know?
And the vodka I also dislike,
so it's a double (bleep) you culinarily.
- I was gonna say that too. - You might need to
see someone about that, Stevie.
- Might be, it does kinda sound like a sex thing,
doesn't it? (chuckles)
- Well, again, that's not what I meant.
(chuckling)
I meant a professional of some kind.
- No but you know, like when blue cheese--
- I just feel nauseous just thinking about this.
- [Stevie] When something has that like--
- No I relate to that. - Ooh, you're like,
that tastes bad but good.
- I like a lot of things that are bad but good.
- Go easy. - But I just, I don't know.
- So this is not, is it chilled?
It is chilled.
- Yeah so the vodka is typically served like
absolutely ice cold, especially with the caviar.
Caviar is always kept on ice and so you just
take a shot of vodka and then--
- Oh, shot of the vodka first.
- Why is the vodka first? - No, caviar then vodka.
- Do we have to take a shot of it?
I feel like we should just sip it.
- You can sip it.
- He said caviar first. - Oh caviar first,
then a little bit of vodka.
- Yeah, it's more just like a swatch of vodka and caviar.
- Do you know any Russian celebratory words?
(speaks in foreign language)
- What's that mean? - What's that?
- I don't know.
(Stevie laughs)
No, you choose, you say (speaks in foreign language), right?
Anyone, Russian?
Yeah, yeah, (speaks in foreign language).
- Davin is not Russian. - He's from Indonesia.
- It's Russian adjacent, next to them.
- The guy from Indonesia was like,
"Yeah, that's what it is!"
(laughing)
- Hey, he's closer than we been.
- He is closer.
- A lot closer. - He's closer to Russia.
- So to Rhett on his 41st birthday.
- Happy birthday, man. - Here we go.
Happy birthday.
(Josh speaks in foreign language)
(Stevie chuckles)
Wait, the caviar first.
You're not having? - Yeah.
I gotta say.
Much better with bread and butter.
- The butter helps a lot. - Oh yeah.
On top it was just a steaming hot omelet.
It was not good. - No.
- Huh. - Hold on.
I think I might understand caviar now.
- [Stevie] Right?
- Caviar.
- Having the butter and something like creme fraiche,
giving it some fat that actually distributes the flavors
of the caviar better.
- Yeah.
But still, those black eggs are still not to my liking.
- Mah!
I feel like I could breathe fire right now.
- Wow, you had a lot of that.
- No. (Josh chuckles)
There was a little.
- Bwah!
- And, it's really cold in Russia,
so it's very cold whilst they do these.
- I'm trying to make our Russian audience proud.
- I like it!
I'm glad that we did this.
This was a first.
- I'm glad that you're into it.
- And now we can say that we've done this.
- I love that we've done this, she says.
Speaking for everyone.
I'm gonna love that we did this.
- Speaking of other things that I'm gonna love
and you're not, I have another Twitter scenario
that I asked the Mythical Beasts on Twitter,
and so now I'm gonna blindfold you.
Okay so the scenario that I presented to
the Mythical Beasts, Rhett and Link are sitting next to you.
They're blindfolded.
So here are your blindfolds.
- All right.
- What do you do, and I got some very interesting responses
so please let me be you.
As you can see, you can't.
- Nope. - All right,
we're gonna do a little touching.
- Of course, yes, yes.
- So if you don't mind, I'm going to take this.
- You want the finger?
- Thank you so much for giving me the finger.
And I'm going to place it somewhere on Rhett's body
and you're just gonna have to guess where I place it, Link.
- Wenis.
- Close.
- Pectoral. - Yeah.
- Okay, you don't have to rub it.
What's happening?
- Am I about to be touched again?
- (chuckles) It was be completely silent and see which one
of them speaks first.
I bet it's Link.
(Rhett and Stevie laugh)
Mm-hmm, painus.
(Link sputters) - What?
♪ I'm so tight ♪
♪ So stressed ♪
♪ Need someone to rub my neck ♪
♪ Aw yeah ♪ - Not me, man.
♪ That's the spot ♪
♪ I like the way you work my muscle knot ♪
- Eat my arm.
(soft music)
- Ah.
- Shrug.
- Okay.
I think that was a little more tongue than teeth, sorry.
(Rhett chuckles)
- Sorry, man.
(Stevie chuckles)
Sorry, man.
- I just spit all over you.
- You just spit?
- Yeah. - On what?
On my ear, 'cause it felt like a hand.
- Tickle party!
- Oh.
(Rhett and Link laugh)
I'm not even actually being tickled, ha ha!
(all chuckling)
- My God.
- I'm gettin' ya!
I got you!
I really got you!
(Link laughing erratically)
- Link!
(Link moans)
- What? (chuckling)
(soft music)
All right guys (sighs).
You can take your blindfolds off now.
- Boy, that was scary, fun, awesome adjectives.
Heh.
- Yes, until I got really tickled.
And slammed my shoulder.
- [Link] Well I got plum tickled.
- I have like, look at that.
- [Rhett] Hey.
- You're a good tickler.
- That's not from me, that's from my tickles.
I tickled. - Yeah tickles.
- You hit yourself. - I slammed myself
due to the tickles.
- Hey, when I get invited to a tickle party,
I show up.
(Link laughs)
- That's weird.
- That's all we have.
So please like, comment and subscribe,
and now our final line.
Three-- - Until!
- [Together] Until next LTAT,
keep on BYMB!
