♪ Very superstitious ♪

- Let's talk about that.
(upbeat instrumental music)
"Good Mythical Morning."
- A lot of people have superstitions.
Maybe you like to knock on wood.
Maybe you like to
rub a rabbit's foot. Yeah. - Maybe you like to do
what my uncle does and stick your finger
in your belly button and then smell it.
I think that's a superstition.
I don't know.
Or maybe it's just a bad habit.
We're not gonna be talking about
those very common superstitions today.
We're gonna be talking about weird,
and whacking unusual superstitions.
We're gonna be finding out whether or not
Link knows about them as we play an inquisition
into your super intuitions about superstitions.
Okay. Here's how this is gonna work.
This is multiple choice.
That means- - Great.
- you have to choose one of these.
- Got it.
- And if you get four right,
I get a punishment.
And if you don't get four right,
you get said punishment,
and it's a real bad luck situation
if you know what I mean. - You have not.
You have said, said punishment
but you haven't said the punishment?
- Yeah, but I will say the punishment.
- Okay the soon-to-be-said punishment.
- But I don't wanna say it right now. Okay.
- Okay.
You have three lifelines.
You can step on a crack,
break two answers back.
50, 50. - Whew.
- You can ask a good luck charm.
We have an actual good luck charm
that you can consult.
It's probably gonna be Chase
just based on the way things go around here.
Or you can hear an old wive's tale
from an actual old wife,
and that'll be a hint.
- Okay.
- Ready?
- Who's the old wife?
Let's do this.
- Don't expect to get a kiss
when the clock strikes 12
on New Year's Eve in Spain.
The Spanish believe
that the only way to bring good luck
at midnight is very quickly eat 12 blanks.
- Hmm, it gonna...
- A, grapes.
B, sardines.
C, olives.
Or D, Penelope Cruz body pillows.
- She sells those?
- She should.
- Or are they
- You shouldn't need 'em though,
you'd choke.
- 'Cuz they're as big as,
are they shaped like Penelope Cruz?
- Body pillows are a thing,
and I figured there's probably some
that come with Penelope Cruz on 'em.
But if they're not,
we should start selling 'em
RhettLink.com/store.
- I'm sure she's a nice person.
- Yeah, she's gotta be.
- Well, if you gotta,
you gotta gobble up 12 of these
in 60 seconds.
Man, that's less that's,
hmm, one every two seconds.
- Yeah, you're great at math.
- Sardines, olives, or grapes in Spain,
I'm gonna say,
man, I don't think it's grapes.
I'm down to sardines and olives,
and I'm going with, olives.
- That's what I would've thought,
and I would've also been
wrong because it's actually grapes.
- Grapes?
- Yeah, they eat grapes
at the strike of midnight.
They eat 12 with the ring of the clock.
- Huh?
- So and you can go on YouTube,
and you can see these people doing this,
basically intoxicated Spaniards
eating grapes really quickly.
I'm sure no one ever chokes.
- Mmm, yeah that's a problem.
- Yeah.
- Man.
- If you're passing a graveyard in Japan,
and you don't feel like killing your parents
that day,
you'd better tuck your blanks into your pockets.
Is it A, handkerchief.
B, thumbs.
C, money.
Or D, handy-dandy universal
parent killing tool
now available in six colors.
(Link laughs)
- Put that thing away.
- Hah, yeah.
- Interestingly enough I've done this.
I have passed a graveyard in Japan,
and I've not murdered my parents.
- Hmm.
Because I put my thumbs in my pocket.
- Final answer?
- Final answer.
- Correct. - How'd you know that Link?
- Because money's already in your pocket,
and no one carries a handkerchief.
- Nobody does, you're right.
The word thumb in Japanese
basically translates to parent finger.
I don't know why but that's-
- That's weird.
- That's what, you know there's another finger
that will really get you
in trouble with your parents though.
Just the birdie.
The birdie. - Birdie.
- Don't flip the birdie around your parents.
- The birdie.
- Yeah, don't do that.
- Keep that birdie in your pockets kids.
In South Korea, many people believe
that leaving your blank on all night
can lead to suffocation, hypothermia,
and if it wasn't already clear, death.
Is it A, underwear.
B, makeup.
C, fan.
D, plastic bag.
(Link laughs)
- On your face-
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - all night?
(Link laughs)
- I've done that when I'm trying to keep it perm real tight.
- Mmm.
- Almost died.
- Huh, you know what?
I wanna use a lifeline
just to keep this interest.
- Okay.
- So I wanna ask.
- Who?
- An old wife.
- Okay.
- Hello?
- What?
(Link laughs)
- You just turned around and turned back.
How does that make you an old wife?
- Just listen to my voice.
- Okay, I'll close my eyes.
- Old Wife.
- So I can.
- Once upon a time,
Beyonce has placed these all around
the stage at her shows.
The end.
(Link pondering)
- Well, I've never been to a Beyonce show,
but I would imagine a lot of fans
throwing underwear on the stage.
A lot of men throwing underwear
on the stage.
That happens at Beyonce show, right?
Yeah.
- I've throw my underwear at Beyonce.
- I would if I were there.
- Yeah.
- Just so I didn't use an extra pair I wore.
- The ones in my pockets.
- Yeah.
- She batted it back down though.
- But to give her a dead ringer,
like put a whitey-tightey right on Beyonce.
Okay, what's your answer?
- Fan.
C, fan.
- You're right, Link.
This is such a commonly held belief
in South Korea
that they're actually sold with timers.
- Whoa.
- So they'll shut off
before they murder you in your sleep.
- Good gracious.
- They should also be sold with a tag that says,
"Hey, fans don't kill you
because that makes no dang sense.
(Link laughs)
In 19th century-
- Only to be removed by owner that tag.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
In 19th century of Vermont,
it was believed that tilting windows
at 45 degrees was an effective way
to keep out A, witches.
B, Poltergeist.
C, pigeons.
Or D Bernie Sanders.
(Link pondering)
He's from Vermont.
- The DNC did do that.
- Yeah.
- They tilted their windows,
went all Hillary on it.
- Why don't you let me in?
Can't get in 'cuz of the 45 degrees.
I sound like Larry David doing Bernie Sanders.
- That's fine.
- I'm sorry and it's a bad one of that.
- Well pigeons, it sounds too practical.
Poltergeist and witches are interchangeable.
- Huh, well that's what...
- So I'm going,
I'm gonna step on crack and break.
Mama dyes back.
- Okay.
- Now I'm gonna remove two answers
'cuz I don't want your mom to break her back.
I'm getting rid of Bernie Sanders,
and poltergeist.
- Oh yes, okay.
So I am going with witches.
Great use of the lifeline.
- You're right Link.
They're actually called witch windows.
They can still be found on houses in Vermont,
and it makes total sense
because witches can fly.
They can turn humans into totes,
but you throw that 45 degree angle at them,
they're like, can't go in.
Well, they try to go in,
and then they get split by windows,
and then they teach their witch kids
not to do that.
- How many does Link have right?
- [Chase] Three.
- You have three right?
Like you only need one more.
Gosh, they're so easy.
In Nigeria,
you should never kiss a baby on the lips.
If you do,
when the kid grows up to be an adult,
it will A, have a hard time keeping a job.
- Interesting.
- B never get married.
Sad.
C, drool.
Or D, still have baby lips. (chuckles)
- That adults got baby lips.
I know what happened there.
- He got kissed.
- Baby lips might be a good thing to keep though.
- On the Neal side of my family.
- As long they supervise that.
As a kid, we would kiss each other
on the lips.
But on the Pate side of the family,
my mom's side of the family,
we wouldn't kiss on the lips.
So you got the herpes from the Neals?
- That's a good point.
But no, that came from my mom's side.
- Really? - Yeah.
- Oh, they knew they had herpes,
and so they-
- That's what the point was.
Yeah. - You put it together.
And then I gave it to-
- Mystery solved.
- and I gave it to my dad's side of the family.
- Oh, man.
You're a patient zero, Link.
- Of the Neal's herpes outbreak. (laughs)
- Nigeria.
- What's the answer, Link?
- Hard time keeping a job
sounds too wordy.
So I'm going with B, never get married.
- Ooh it's actually drool, C.
- Drool?
There's absolutely no information
about where this came from.
So it's probably just some dude in Iowa
in a basement putting it into a Nigeria forum.
You know how that kind of stuff
gets spread around the internet.
Reggie.
Okay, Nigeria foreman.
- You gotta get one right to win.
Here's your last question.
If you're hanging out in Iceland
during the winter,
don't blank outdoors.
It's believe that this will only prolong
the icy season.
A, knit.
B, eat.
C, urinate.
Or D, touch Bjork.
You won't like her when she's angry.
(Links laughs)
You have one more lifeline.
- I'm gonna use the lifeline that I do have.
- Oh, okay. - I'm gonna exercise my right
to bring in my lucky charm.
- Okay, let's bring in the lucky charm.
- Oh my.
- Oh, gosh.
- Oh. - Look at that.
- Freaking crazy.
- That is, what in the world?
(Rhett screams)
- That's freaking me out.
- That's changes face suddenly on a penny.
Take it down for a second.
Now put it back up.
- Whoa that's the best thing ever guys.
(Link laughs)
(Rhett sighs)
- Wow. - What?
What?
- Don't forget you need to
consult this thing.
- I'm afraid to look at it.
- You found your freaking Halloween costume,
I'll tell you that much.
That's the best thing- - What?
- ever guys.
- It so...
(crew murmuring)
- Have you seen your, I get it.
Have you seen yourself in a mirror?
- [Chase] Nope.
- I like how you got a little stash right there.
(crew laughing)
- Lincoln had a stash, man.
You gotta be authentic.
- So how you prolong a Icelandic winter?
Is that by knitting outside, eating outside,
or urinating outside or touching Bjork?
I know if you urinate outside,
you know what happens?
- [Chase] Yeah, you end up with the yellow snow.
(Rhett laughs) - But it's so cold there
that it freezes the whole way up-
- Yeah, right - inside.
- Yeah, yeah.
It's like a ice catheter.
- It freezes the ureter.
The urethra?
- [Chase] Urethra doesn't sound good.
- Yeah.
Freezes up something you don't want frozen.
- The pee too?
- Yeah, pee too.
- So what is it?
- [Chase] I don't know.
I'd say maybe knit
sounds like a interesting one.
- Why would you knit outside?
Is that the right answer?
- [Chase] Because you're Icelandic,
I don't know. - Yeah.
- All right, you haven't let us down.
Did he ever failed you?
And you look great.
- [Chase] I'm lucky.
- You actually don't look as great.
Line it back up.
Go a little more.
There you go. - It's so crazy.
That's it right there.
It's like so freaking great.
- All right, so my final answer is knit.
- Of course Link, you are right.
- Yes.
- And you are a winner.
Thank you lucky penny.
Never take that off again, okay?
- I mean best Halloween costume ever.
We need to go as a whole set of cash
or coins.
- Oh, yes.
Mythical crew becomes change this year.
- Well, if there's not enough currency.
we're gonna go foreign currency.
- We can do that. We have a printer.
Congratulations Link. - I'll give you my surprise.
- I am going to receive a punishment,
which is I'm gonna spend all of
"Good Mythical More" under a ladder,
holding a cat.
(Link laughs)
- So, but congratulations for winning.
All right, stick around for that.
