- Today, we see how well Link knows his Google.
- Let's talk about that.
(upbeat music)
Good Mythical Morning!
- Hey, Link.
- Hello, Rhett and a Good Mythical Morning to you too, sir.
- Yeah, you as well.
Now, are you making a fashion statement today
with what's on your shoulder?
- Do you like it?
It kinda broadens the right shoulder a bit.
No, this is a dish towel.
- Oh, okay.
- Honestly, I'm pretty flustered this morning
'cause I've been spending the past hour trying
to mitigate the leaks in my house
and it just so happens that all the leaks in my roof,
because it's been raining all night, are only right here.
- Cool, good.
- Like, literally six different trickles,
one on my shoulder, one on the iPad,
one where my laptop goes.
- Are you gonna be okay?
- I'm gonna be fine.
I'm flustered but I think I've fixed the problem.
- Have you been Googling how to stop a leak in the roof?
- No, I didn't need to Google to know
that the only thing I have
at my disposal is masking tape and Saran Wrap.
So, I've created roller coaster tracks
from the leaks that are over me, draped
to the side into some containers.
- Okay, well too bad.
If you had have been Googling,
you would have been more prepared for this game which is,
(upbeat music)
Google Me This, Google Me That,
Who's the Trendiest According to an Australian Swamp Rat?
Er, I mean Google.
- I love it when a title has the word "er" in it
because it makes you
- Er. - sound smart. (laughing)
- Right, okay Link, you're probably familiar
with Google Trends.
- Oh yeah, of course.
- And I don't just mean the trends on Google.
I mean the site Google Trends where you can go
and actually look and see what people have Googled.
And you can see what search terms are more popular
than others and you can actually run this
through different areas like a country
or a state or the world.
And we're going to be playing a game today
to find out how well you know your Google Trends, okay?
- I've not used Google Trends.
I have heard of it and I'm probably
about to be the victim of it.
- Here's what's at stake.
If you get the majority
of these right, then you're going to Google
or I'm going to Google the word loser
and read it to myself.
And if you get the majority wrong,
then you're going to Google the word loser
and read it to yourself.
Okay?
- Okay. - Yes.
- All right, let's do it.
I'm gonna get nothing but wet.
(laughing)
Don't laugh at that, Stevie.
- Here's the first one, in the past year
what was searched more in the state of Connecticut,
Danny DeVito or plastic bag?
- You can tell this from Google Trends?
- Yes, you can.
- In Connecticut, Danny DeVito or plastic bags?
- Which one's more popular on Google?
- When? - Over the past year.
- Oh shoot, a whole year.
I mean plastic bags could get
into some political type stuff with like,
you know, legislation.
People be Googling about that.
- People be Googling.
- Danny DeVito, I don't think, I think it's plastic bags.
Because I think there's issues there.
Danny DeVito can't average out a whole year
of being a topic of conversation anywhere.
I'm sorry.
- Oh wow, okay.
That's your final answer?
- Plastic bags.
- Link, you're right. (dinging bell)
- Yeah.
- You're right, it is plastic bag.
- Don't be disappointed.
- Well, I'm not disappointed in you.
I'm disappointed in Connecticut.
Come on people!
What do plastic bags have that Danny DeVito doesn't?
I mean he can hold things.
He's got holes.
- That's true.
- Okay, Link.
From 2004 to now, there's only one state in the U.S.
that Googled "fear" more than they Googled "dancing".
- Only one state.
- I'm gonna give you a couple of hints.
Okay?
'Cause it's just a one out of fifty chance right now.
You've been to this state.
- I've been to a lot of states, brother.
- And it's on the East Coast.
- First of all, I'm glad to hear that there's only one state
that's more afraid - Right.
- than they are into dancing.
- We should feel good.
- That's some good news.
Give that a John Krasinski.
- That's a good reference.
Shows that you're actually on the internet.
- You know what?
We went to Detroit.
I got lots of love from Michigan.
So, I'm not trying to throw Michigan under the bus
but it's just the first state that came to my mind.
It's kind of on the East Coast.
- About to say, you know the East Coast of Michigan.
- Oh, you're saying it's on the coast?
- Yeah, uh yeah. - I thought you
just meant if you drew a line in the middle it's the east.
- No, I would have said it was in the eastern half
of the United States.
- That's true (laughing)
- I'm going, I doing you one better.
- Well, fine!
- I saved you from yourself.
- All right, Connecticut.
I think everything has to do with Connecticut.
So, that's my answer.
- Okay, you're wrong, it's North Carolina, Link.
- Our state?
- It's your home state, bro.
- Do we know why?
Can you Google why?
- I could, but I didn't.
But I can tell you this,
this is why there are no TikToks made in North Carolina.
- Everybody's afraid of it.
- They're afraid of dancing. (laughing)
- That is so strange.
- Okay, Link one for two.
All right, what search break down between two terms
within the past five years makes the U.S. map look
like this?
Where incidentally, one half of the United States is blue
and one half is red except for North Carolina,
which is on the same side of this?
Now what is this search term?
Is it A: kale versus mayonnaise?
B: soda versus pop?
C: taquitos versus Flex Seal?
Or D: People who think Judge Judy is hot
versus people who think Judge Judy is the hottest?
- (laughing) That's right.
Judge Judy.
She works it and I'm talking
about she films a lot of episodes.
- Highest paid person in television.
- Kale versus mayonnaise.
That can't be it.
Soda versus pop.
That's not right because if North Carolina says soda,
'cause we don't say pop,
I know that for the South they don't say pop.
Especially the entire South.
Taquitos versus Flex Seal.
Dang. - Dang.
- Yeah, I think North Carolina is into the taquitos
along with the South, emanating from the Southwest.
And Flex Seal is just a fall back
for anyone who's not into taquitos.
C.
- Great deductive reasoning, Link!
You're right. (bell chimes)
It's C. - Yes!
- Taquitos versus Flex Seal. (bell chimes)
But what we've learned here,
not only do you know your taquitos and your Flex Seal
but the country is divided, people.
And the way that we can bring them together is
just a plate full of Flex Seal taquitos.
- Oh, Snack Smash episode!
Don't tell Josh.
I don't want him feeding anybody Flex Seal.
(laughing)
- All right Link, two out of three.
In the state of Nevada, over the last twelve months,
Nicolas Cage has been searched for more than blank.
Is it A: wigs?
B: potato salad?
C: friendship?
Or D: How do I tell my stepmom she
makes me feel tingly down there?
- Ew.
You don't. (laughing)
Can I answer that?
Do not.
It's not how, it's if and the answer is no.
Nicolas Cage.
- Yeah.
- Searched more in Nevada than wigs,
potato salad or friendship.
- When I went to Nevada, I didn't see potato salad anywhere.
Maybe that's why they're searching it.
Hold on.
I think that the state motto
of Nevada has the word friendship in it.
I don't know why that thought
just popped into my head.
I think it's the Friendship State.
No, that's Missouri.
(laughing)
- Ah crap, it's Missouri.
- You know what?
Screw it.
Friendship.
- Screw it, Link.
You're wrong. (buzzer)
- Potato salad?
- It's potato salad. - No!
Why?
- I don't know, man.
I don't have the answers.
But what I do have is the fact
that the people of Nevada are going
to be thrown for a loop soon
because Nick Cage will actually be playing a potato salad
in his new movie The Potato Salad Man.
- I would see that.
- Link, you got to get these last two right.
- Okay, okay.
- In order to not be a big time loser.
There is one state, and one state only, in the U.S.
that in the last year Googled the topic
of Hot Pockets more than topic of human rights.
- Ooh.
- Can you guess which state it was?
- Was it A: Alabama?
B: Arkansas?
C: Arizona?
Or D: Flavortown, USA?
(laughing)
- Dang, man.
See, you got me between a rock and a hard place
'cause I'm throwing one of these states under the bus.
I already threw Michigan under the bus
and it's not even on the coast.
- Right.
- I'm sorry, Michigan.
- More interested in Hot Pockets than human rights.
- You know what, I'm not falling for your tricks
because I'd rather be a loser than throw one
of my beloved states under the bus.
- You gotta have a guess.
Are you refusing to answer the question?
- No, I'm answering.
D, Flavortown, USA.
(laughing)
- Oh, you're playing it that safe?
- Not that safe.
That magnanimous.
(laughing)
- I think I understand what you mean by that.
And that is incorrect because it's Alabama.
But Link, here's the thing, before you judge Alabama
here's the thing you gotta understand.
This is what the people of Alabama know
that we don't.
Hot Pockets are a human right.
- There you go.
You're bringing it all together.
Red and blue makes purple, baby.
- I'm trying to find a way to make it seem good,
make it seem okay.
- There you go.
- All right, Link, you can't win now.
You are officially a loser.
But there is one more question.
A lot of different countries search individually
for me as a musical artist
and for you as an actor.
Because that is what we come up individually as on Google
for reasons that neither of us understand
nor did we dictate it.
- Okay.
- But we come up at different rates.
So, in any given country one of us is gonna be more popular
than the other.
But ever since 2004, who has been individually searched
for more in the United States?
You or me?
- Since 2004.
Your name's hard to spell, especially the last one.
That may be a factor and this is since like,
whew, since the beginning of our, before our careers began.
This is everything taken into account.
Man.
Are there more unanswered questions associated
with me or you?
(laughing)
Who's more of a man of mystery?
I think I wear my heart and everything else on my sleeve.
Including my dishrag.
(laughing)
And that, for those reasons alone
and not anything to do with popularity
or favoritism amongst the public,
I'm gonna say you, Rhett.
- Well, Link, you took the humble way out.
It's actually you.
- Really? (laughing)
- And here's the breakdown by state.
- [Link] I think I feel good about that.
- [Rhett] In our country.
- [Link] Oh, okay.
- [Rhett] I'm blue and you're red.
- [Link] Okay, so I'm pretty much everywhere except
for the mid to southern south coast.
- Congratulations, Link!
You lost.
You got that last one right but you're actually,
technically, still a loser.
Which means that right now, you need to Google "loser"
and read it to yourself.
- Define colon loser.
I am a noun.
(background piano)
I am a person, or I am a thing
that loses or has lost something.
Especially a game or contest.
(laughing)
I'm also a person who accepts defeat with good
or bad grace, as specified, and I'm also a person
or I'm also a thing that is put at a disadvantage
by a particular situation or course of action.
Yeah, I mean my loof is reaking. (laughing)
- When your loofah starts reeking you need to replace it.
- Hey, keep Googling me though.
And thanks for clicking that bell.
- And subscribing.
You know what time it is.
- I'm Dave from eastern Maryland
and I've used this time to work on my car.
