Today, our trust in each other
is put to the ultimate test.
Let's talk about that.
Good Mythical Morning.
We've been friends for 37 years and counting.
Are you counting?
Yeah, constantly, by the second.
Is it a countdown?
Don't answer that.
One of the most important things in a friendship,
especially that lasts this long, is trust, right?
For example, Rhett, I trust that,
if we're in a Titanic situation, if that were to happen,
that you would move your lanky butt over on that door
and we'd spoon for warmth until we were rescued.
Okay.
So, do you remember
when our trust was first established?
Well, probably the first time we spooned, but also-
You talking about that camping survival situation?
But also, seriously,
I think it was in elementary school,
when John Carson was picking on you
and I punched him in the stomach and I ended it right there.
I think that,
I think that is when my trust in you was established.
I think that's true.
Okay, well, when was my trust in you established?
I'm thinking maybe today.
It's time for Do You Trust Me?
Do You Trust Me?
Well, Do Ya, Punk?
How 'Bout When I'm Throwing Stuff at Your Junk?
Here's how it works.
This game is gonna test our friendship
in a variety of extreme ways.
That may mean physical trust, mental trust,
good old fashioned friendship trust, whatever that is.
You'll find out.
In each round, we're gonna be given
a trust-testing task. Trust-testing task.
And we'll both have a chance to be the task doer
and the truster.
Yeah, the truster is gonna have to guess
whether or not he trusts the other guy
to successfully pull off a specific task at hand.
And the truster only wins points
if his guess about the doer proves true,
and there will also sometimes be points on the line
for the doer as well.
Points are gonna escalate each round.
The winner gets a special prize,
but the Mythical Crew will not tell us what it is,
so we'll just have to trust them.
Welcome to the trust zone, boys.
Thank you for having us.
Yeah, of course.
This round will test how well
you can trust each other physically,
so the blindfolded truster
with a target strapped to his inner thigh,
which I believe is Link. I'm first.
Must assume a squatting position,
while the doer, which in this case is Rhett,
launches balls at said target.
So, if you could assume the positions
that we discussed briefly before this,
you'll see Rhett has the ball launcher.
Link is in a squat.
And the question is, Link,
do you trust that Rhett can hit that target
two times in one minute,
and here's the caveat, while not ever hitting your junk?
You got pretty good aim.
You ever used a dog ball launcher like that before?
Not this one in particular.
This is new territory for me.
Two targets. But I'm trying.
If I hit you in the balls, I get disqualified.
or I don't get points.
So, I'm trying, you know.
I'm not gonna be messing around here.
I'm really trying.
Okay, I'm gonna say I trust his aim.
Here we go.
In three, two, one, go.
Nope.
Did that hit the target?
Yes. Oh, yeah.
One for one, baby.
Hey, that, it was the gun.
It was the gun.
I mean, I was aimed perfectly.
It was just a little kick.
Come on, man.
It was a little kick
Are you serious?
I was trying. You hit the first one.
I was not going for your balls, man.
The first one was right on.
I know, and I did the same thing,
but it kind of kicked.
Thing's got a lot of power.
It's kicked.
I gotta say, you didn't hit my balls.
What did I hit, the tallywhacker?
You hit the top of the torpedo,
and, boy...
That's a different kind of pain.
In some ways, that's just as bad.
Different kind of pain.
Doesn't linger as much, but it stings.
All right, we're all switched up.
Rhett,
do you trust that I will not hit your junks,
but instead hit your target twice?
I've learned two things,
which kind of gives me a little bit of an advantage.
One, you may feel some, like, vindictiveness right now,
because I just hit you in the nads.
You think?
So, that's difficult to control.
I know you.
And second of all,
I do believe there was some equipment malfunction.
I'm just saying that it's a Nerf gun.
It's not like, it's not like a rifle.
It doesn't go exactly the same place,
so there's there's user error probably,
but also equipment unpredictability.
So, I'm going to say I do not trust you to get through this.
I do not trust you to hit this target
twice in a minute.
If you do it, you get points.
If you don't, I get points. If I nail the target,
only I get points.
But when I trusted you, we both could've gotten points.
Right, I understand how trust works.
All right, I'm ready.
I'm ready, Stevie. Okay, here we go.
Three, two, one, go.
Okay, that felt like it missed.
That was a little wide.
Also a little wide.
Hold on, where is it going?
Is it over my shoulder?
It's going way too far.
I gotta aim for the nuts to hit.
No, no, no, no!
That was the target, wasn't it?
Yep, yeah.
That was target. I believe it was.
No, that was- A little high.
That's gonna hurt if it hits the nads.
Ah, come on.
It aims straight when I don't want it to.
Yes!
Boom, I did it!
I did it!
Whoa, I ain't gonna do that.
All right, so...
Whoa.
I hit the target twice.
I get a point,
Rhett, you get no points.
That's what you get for not believing in me, man.
Sorry.
A few days ago, we spoke to your wives,
and they divulged some particularly embarrassing stories
about the two of you.
What? Okay.
Things you would probably rather not
have shared all over the internet.
I thought I told you never talk to my wife.
I didn't know you knew who our wives were.
Then, we gave you each a choice.
Let's roll the first clip.
Rhett, please.
Welcome to your chair at your desk.
Just like home.
I have a blank white envelope, except for,
in the envelope, there is an embarrassing story about Link.
So, I want you to open it.
I want you to read it to yourself.
So, you have a choice to make.
Are you going to keep his story a secret, and in turn,
have an embarrassing story read about you,
but you're protecting your friend,
or are you going to read his embarrassing story out loud?
And therefore, we won't get to hear
an embarrassing story about you.
My life is in your hands.
Yeah. Yeah, so, Link,
do you have enough trust in Rhett
to believe that he decided to have
his own embarrassing moment revealed
in order to protect you.
No.
I mean, do I really have to think about this?
No, man.
I mean, you started reading that story, like
I can't wait for everybody to hear this.
You didn't, it didn't even cross your mind
to protect me, man.
I do not trust him.
Well, let's see.
Stevie, I think I'm going to read this out loud.
Of course.
It's not that I'm not interested in protecting Link.
It's very difficult to embarrass Link,
and I think that he would probably be proud of this moment.
Okay, let's hear it.
One night, after a date, Link and I pulled over,
this is his wife.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, this is,
I think Christy wrote this. Where is this going?
It's not from me.
After a date, pulled over?
One night, after a date, Link and I pulled over
to what we thought was a secluded hiking area.
Things were heating up. Oh, god.
When an entire Boy Scout troop emerged from the woods
and approached the car and saw us.
I was mortified, but Link didn't seem to mind.
He said, "This is a great thing for the Boy Scouts to learn,
a real life experience."
See, man.
Do I need to protect you from that?
That's the kind of thing that you would,
you would shout from the mountaintops
if you could remember it.
I am so, oh, I remember that.
I am surprised that Christy shared that.
Yeah, it's more embarrassing for her,
because she's married to you.
I'm embarrassed for her,
but I'm not embarrassed for me, but like...
'Cause every day, she makes the decision
to still be married to you.
Okay, so you guessed correctly, but Rhett,
let's see how Link handled things.
Link, inside this envelope
is an embarrassing story about Rhett.
Please read it to yourself and no one else.
You have to make a choice.
You can keep this story to yourself,
and therefore protect your friend,
or you could read it out loud,
and by reading it out loud, you protect yourself.
What is your choice going to be?
Um...
Rhett?
Um...
Do you trust Link to sacrifice himself
in order to keep your embarrassing moment a secret?
There's a lot of things going on in my mind right now.
Number one, this is something that my wife told you guys.
I'm genuinely flummoxed.
And that's the first time
I've used the word flummoxed in 2021.
I'm glad to bring you to that point.
I think you read it, bro.
I think you did the same thing to me.
Really, you don't trust me?
I feel like it goes both ways,
that you will get a kick out of reading it.
I don't know, unless you're trying to seem more trustworthy.
It's all about. Think about that.
It's all about appearances.
There you go.
Yeah, I think he read it, though.
I think it would be good for him
for this to be out in the open.
Yeah.
All right, let's hear it.
Rhett hates seeming vulnerable.
One night, we were hanging out with Link and Christy,
that's me and my wife,
and Rhett, my friend, seemed a little off.
His face turned green and he began rocking back and forth.
It seemed like he was going to pass out,
but to show what a man he was,
Rhett stood up and attempted to walk.
He looked like a toddler trying to take his first steps.
I had to grab him before he fell
and forced him to put his head between his knees.
And that is not the end of the story,
because, at that point,
he fell over on the floor and fainted,
and then he's like, he kind of came to pretty quickly.
And like, when he came to, he was kinda like a baby,
like he didn't know where he was,
and he was like, and he was looking into Christy's eyes,
like he didn't know who anybody was.
This is now you telling the story?
Okay, so now you're telling the story.
And I was like, "That's my wife,"
she just saved your life.
I did remember waking up and seeing your wife,
like an angel right there.
And then, I was like, where am I?
Getting to know? That was a little,
I mean, I mean, I got it right,
but I don't know.
That was a more embarrassing story than the Boy Scouts.
I mean, there were no Boy Scouts there to see me faint.
Did you know that episode three of Ronstadt,
the scripted podcast we're starring in, dropped today?
Yeah, it did.

I don't know what will.

David Hill.
Hey, morning, everybody
Morning, everybody.
It's just us, man.
Before we kick off this last round,
there is a surprise in store for the loser.
Whoever has the least amount of points
at the end of the game
will have their second embarrassing story revealed
in Good Mythical More.
So, with that in mind, let's get started.
In front of you are three meatballs,
and two of them are nasty meatballs.
Also in front of you is David Hill, of course,
the master of the shell game.
If you don't remember, let me refresh you on why.
All right, for the post team to add music to this one.
Give me the solid, Casey.
Do me a solid, help me out here.
Help me out.
Everybody, watch closely, watch closely.
All the viewers.
Do you know where the earthworms are?
I don't know, it's a gamble.
Yeah, that was mesmerizing.
Especially with the music. I mean, it really did it.
Okay, David Hill is going to do his thing
once again, but this time with meatballs.
So, here's the question.
Link, do you trust Rhett
to keep his eye on the good meatball?
And you should know,
the one he picks is the one you will eat,
and before you answer, Rhett,
I'm going to ask you the same question.
Do you trust Link when it's his turn
to keep his eye on the good meatball?
So, on the count of three,
I need you to give me a thumbs up if you trust the other guy
or a thumbs down if you do not.
Because you get points for guessing the right meatball.
And for trusting.
Yeah, if you were right about their performance.
Okay. Here we go.
Three, two, one.
Okay, it's playing out, how it's been playing out.
I trust you.
You don't trust me
to follow the balls. I mean,
you did a great job with not hitting me in the balls,
and I did hit you in the balls, but I mean,
you're a easily distractable individual.
Nothing against you.
Whenever you're ready, and this is Rhett
trying to keep his eye on the good meatball.
So, Rhett, we have the good meatball.
Bad, bad.
Okay.
Cups are going on the meatballs.
Remember, good, bad, bad.
Okay. Here we go.
You ever made a smoothie?
You ever made a smoothie, Rhett?
With some almond milk. You ever play paddleball?
Spinach, spinach,
little bit of chia seeds, avocado on the side?
Oh my gosh.
Ooh, there's a train.
There's a train.
Ladies and gentlemen,
there is a train. Choo choo!
Oh, it's only two in the race.
Only two in the race.
Oh, no!
I have no clue where it is.
Oh, and we stop here.
I mean, I will say,
I don't know where it is.
But that wasn't what was at stake, you know?
So you weren't as motivated as me.
All right, I believe in you.
That's the good meatball.
Chaos.
Just a meatball, right?
That's a good meatball.
So we both get points,
which means I didn't, you did not pull ahead.
All right, now we switch it up.
It all comes down to this.
All right, Rhett, you didn't trust me,
so if I prove you wrong,
and hopefully earn some trust this morning,
I win, but if you're right, you win.
So, it does come down to this.
Whoever's other secret from their wife
is gonna be revealed in Good Mythical More.
Right, right, right, right, right, right,
and these are not just perfectly round meatballs.
They're actually falafel balls,
so I still do not trust you.
Which one's the naughty?
So, we have bad, good, bad.
Remember, bad, good, bad.
Oh, you just confused me.
Okay, good is in the middle.
Good is in the middle, bads are on the outside.
Here we go. For the trust.
Three, two.
So far, so good.
Whoa, whoa.
You ever been to Tokyo?
That's awesome.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Whoa, where you going, where you going, where you going?
Whoop, whoop, whoop.
Yeah, that's awesome.
Are you serious?
David, you dropped the freakin'...
Anything can happen.
Anything can happen when David Hill's at the wheel.
What happened?
It's magic.
I mean, it's impossible to be upset at this man.
But if I were gonna be, it would be right now.
Okay, you know what?
I like this, because now.
Do you know?
It really gives me an opportunity.
Yeah, of course, I know.
Yeah.
To prove that I am a trustworthy friend.
That is the good falafel ball.
If it tastes like falafel. It's been on the floor.
I will say that. Yeah, five second rule.
If it tastes like falafel.
I win. You win.
If it tastes awful, I win.
It tastes good.
That's just regular falafel.
See me.
You see me?
How'd you do that? You see me?
Did you know?
I kept my eyes on the ball.
I concentrated.
And you have another secret
that's gonna be revealed in Good Mythical More.
Sorry I didn't trust you, Link.
That was amazing.
Also, Link, you get a special prize as well.
Love many, trust few, always paddle your own canoe.
