- If you've got an itch,
we've got some weird ways to scratch it.
- Let's talk about that.
(upbeat funky music)
(flames sizzling)
Gooooood Mythical Morning
- Now, when you've got an itch somewhere on your body,
your natural inclination is to what?
- Scratch. - Scratch it.
But I'm gonna tell you when you start to scratch it,
just like my mama used to say,
"Boy, don't scratch that itch!
That's bad, you can spread infection."
She didn't quite talk like that.
But that's how I remember it. (Link laughing)
- Kinda like a prison guard.
- You're not supposed to scratch an itch,
you're supposed to find other ways
to overcome itches
'cause scratching is bad for y'all skin.
- And we are here for you
and for Rhett's mom,
we know you're watching.
Let's get weird with it.
Curing an itch.
- So for each one of these,
we are going to induce an itch,
and then we're going to find a way
to address that itch without scratching it.
- Turns out the internet is chock full of
weird itching cures,
but have they been tested by us?
- (laughs) Yeah. - No.
- Better question. - Let's do it.
(gentle uplifting music)
All right Rhett, so let's itchify ourselves.
- I'm excited about this, man,
'cause I always looked into the back of magazines
and saw itching powder
and I was like I wanna get this and put it on my brother.
It says, "Surprise
that special friend." - But you never did it, right?
- [Rhett] Let's surprise ourselves.
- I'm a special friend.
- You are. - Surprise!
All right, I'ma surprise
my specialist friend, which is myself.
- USe sparingly, a little powder goes a long way.
- Yep.
- But you know what? You only live once.
Put the whole pack on.
- Now I'm told that there's like rose hips in this thing.
- And Mucuna pruriens- - Roses don't have hips.
- A tropical legume native to Africa.
- [Rhett] Have you ever seen a roses with hips?
- Look at that. And then-
- [Rhett] You concentrated it, huh?
- Ooh, goodness. - Oh, oh.
- Oh, gosh!
- It immediately is a,
oh it's immediately a problem.
- Oh, it stung me.
- Oh!
- It hits me and it's prickly.
Eddie, you didn't tell me it was prickly.
- I wouldn't do this for a special friend.
- Hello, are you a special friend?
- Hold on, this is not good.
- It's definite discomfort. It's like-
- It's itching my, oh, all up in my hand.
Whoa. It's itching real bad!
- Yeah, where there's not hair.
It actually itch, woo, it actually itches more.
- I don't like it.
- And I'm rubbing it in order to create more itch,
but also to stop the itch, which I shouldn't be doing.
- Don't scratch it, boy!
- 'Cause instead we need to be using-
- Bananers. - Banana peels.
Now bananas are for eating,
banana peels are for anti-itching.
- I just ate a banana later, earlier.
- Oh, poor guy.
- I do that thing where I went into the future
and ate and I ate a banana later.
Don't worry about me. (Link laughing)
- Poor guy got a bruise on his abdomen.
- He doesn't care.
And then you just rub a dub dub in your arm?
- Yeah, rub that dub right there,
and then the internet says maybe it's the sugars in there.
I don't know. Could be potassium.
- It makes it a little nasty.
- It really
knots up the arm hair. - I'll tell you one thing,
I'll tell you, though,
I'm not itching. - It's kinda soothing.
- [Rhett] And I like the way bananas feel.
- It's cold and mushy.
- This is like a spa treatment.
- Welcome to the banana peel spa.
- Would you like the hot stones or the banana peels?
- Remove your clothes and-
- Both, please.
- Put on this banana peel underwear sling.
- Whoa, I don't wanna be naked when this stuff's around.
I'll tell you that right now.
- Put on this banana hammock.
That that's what I was looking for. (laughs)
- I don't care how special of a friend you are.
- Feels like it's helping. - What happened to you, man?
You got so bruisey. You got a lot of hair on your arm.
- Well, that's just hair, man.
That's my gene pool. My hairy gene pool coming out.
- I will say that as far as I could tell,
it has made me feel messy
but it's made me feel less itchy.
It's made you look like a gorilla,
but are you itching?
- Not that much, man.
- All right, banana peels work.
- Hmm. There's promise in this one.
(gentle uplifting music)
- Okay. We're gonna up the ante a little bit.
We're going to induce an itch with two things together.
First thing is hair clippings.
Chase, you can go ahead and come in
and be putting those on us.
We collected, or the crew collected hair clippings.
- Oh, you're putting it down my shirt?
- Yeah, from various pets of their own.
- Oh, look at that. - So there's dog hair.
There's cat hair.
You know how even if you go to the barber
and he lets a little bit of hair and get in there?
- Yeah. - I mean that's bad enough.
- Pull the shirt back
so it really gets deep. - Oh, come on.
- Look at all that.
What kind of wooly mammoth-
- Did y'all kill an animal to get that?
(Chase and Link laughing) Like, y'all had to kill
a cat for that. - Y'all scraping up road kill?
- I think it's mainly Enzo.
- What? Good gosh, Enzo?
- Ugh. Ugh.
Just get it down in there.
Okay, and now as this settles in, we are going to-
- Okay, okay. - Further induce an itch.
- That's it. - Okay.
- It's kind of working, I gotta admit.
The shoulders are not happy right now.
We're going to watch a creepy crawly video
to double up the itch.
These are spider babies on a repeating GIF link, or GIF.
- [Link] Coming out of a ceiling?
That's like the ceiling and a wall.
- Yeah, it's just whatever it is, it's nasty.
Just take it in. Just take it in.
(Link growling) I'm not happy right now.
- How are we gonna cure it?
- Still feeling on my arm.
- Let's go into cure mode.
- Okay. All right.
For this one we're not going to rub anything on us,
we're going to ingest a cure.
- I have it over here.
- Link, you have it on your side.
This is flax seed and fish oil.
- Which don't necessarily have to be mixed,
but that's how they've been presented to us.
- And usually the fish oil is in the capsules
because you're not just supposed to eat it with a spoon
but we don't do anything
in a way that makes sense on this show.
And this is the way to get it
to be delivered into your bloodstream very quickly.
That's the excuse that I'm gonna use.
- So here's mine. So match that.
Oh goodness.
Okay.
Oh gosh, it's fishy.
- Ain't no itch worth this.
This is way worse than the itch.
- Are you itching anymore?
- I can't devote any energy towards itching at this point.
This is a bad idea, man.
- This is not working.
- It's just unpleasant.
I'm just having an unpleasant time.
I didn't sign up for this.
- This is a fail.
(gentle uplifting music)
Another source of itchiness is dry skin
which we're going to make our skin on our hands
dry using rubbing alcohol.
So let's douse our hands.
I'm gonna douse my hand, and you douse your hand
with rubbing alcohol.
- This is not recommended.
You know, we got time constraints here.
- So now you go. Douse yourself.
I'm so excited.
- It smells like a doctor's office in here all of a sudden,
which is better than like a minnow farm,
which is what it smells like in my mouth.
(both laughing)
All right, so now of course rubbing alcohol is fast-drying
but we'll do well to even speed up the process further.
So speed it up. Let's do it.
(air whooshing)
Gonna dry your skin right out.
- Okay. All right. - It feels pretty dry.
All right. Okay, all right.
Pretty dry and cut.
You know how to turn 'em off. (laughs)
(Rhett laughing) - She's over there,
she's going, "Dry your own hand."
Okay. Pretty dry.
Not necessarily more itchy
than the residue from the itching powder.
My face is itching. - Well, I'm still feeling
the itch from the the itching powder
that has connected to my skin.
And now that I've got the alcohol
and the dryness added, it's only gotten worse.
- Which makes for a great test bed for honey,
which is an all natural cure.
You rub some honey on an itch.
We've got a huge vat straight from the bees' butt.
I'm just gonna go full hand into honey.
Ooh, yeah.
So far so good
- Soothing?
- Oh, it makes my hand look fat.
Look at that. - It's fun to watch.
- I got the fat honey hand.
(crew laughing)
- It's fun to watch, Link. - Look at that.
- Let me get in on that.
Give it a try. - Let me get in
on that action. - Give it a try.
- Ooh, nice. Ooh, I like it.
- It's immediately soothing.
- I gotta tell you it's a little messy.
I mean, just a little,
but it makes me feel so good about myself
and it makes me feel good about our hands.
They don't itch. - It's even making
this hand stop itch. - It's making this hand itch.
The itch switch, shifted.
- Your itch is switching?
- I tried to combine, switch and itch.
And I just said switch because itch is already in switch.
My itch did the switcheroo.
Now, Link, I see you sitting there with honey on your hand,
I see me sitting here with honey on my hand,
and I realize that this is the perfect opportunity
to do something we've always dreamed about
and that is Honey Nut Cheerio hand cereal.
- Yes.
- I've got some nuts.
- I've got some Cheerios.
Not Honey Nut Cheerios, of course.
So I'm gonna Cheerio my hand,
and I'm gonna nut my hand.
(Cheerios rustling)
Chase, you can bring in the milk.
- Oh my. - Actually, you know what?
Put it right there in front of me.
Okay. Oh, now we've got an idea.
Look at that nut hand.
(milk sloshing) (nuts pattering)
(crew laughing) (Link laughing)
♪ It's raining nuts. ♪
Nuts are a little heavier.
♪ Hallelujah. ♪
- All right, and then now we do this.
Hold hands like lovers (crew laughing)
and now we dip.
- [Link] Ooh, that's cold.
- And then, now-
(milk dripping)
- [Link] Don't bite! (laughs)
- Grab some.
(Link slurping)
Man, this is what best friendship is all about.
I mean, how many friends do you have-
- Honey Nut Cheerio hand.
- That you can have Honey Nut Cheerio hand cereal with?
- Unapologetically.
- I really wanna lick the back of your hand right now.
- Do it.
I'm not gonna look at it.
All right.
(nuts pattering) Look at that.
(Rhett laughing) (crew laughing)
So wrong it's right.
- Yeah, I mean, I know this is socially awkward
for us and for you,
but the thing I want you to know
is that we feel great about this.
Our hands don't itch.
- I wonder if a banana would make it more awkward.
- Keep bananas out of this.
Keep the bananas out of this. (crew laughing)
(gentle uplifting music)
One of the sacrifices of looking extremely fashionable
like we do right now is itchiness.
Especially when you put on your wool sweaters,
the kind of sweaters- - Or wool vest.
- We wear exclusively.
- Ooh. And give it a nice little itch-inducing rub.
- I'm already feeling it.
- This is not appropriate for myself or for you.
- Yeah, it's common knowledge that wool make you itch
and also attracts all the ladies.
(Link laughs)
But you know, sometimes I don't know
if it's worth it and when you get home
after a long day of wool sweater wearing
and you're like, "I gotta do something about this itch."
Well, it's commonly known and purported
amongst doctors and mothers that a great way to get rid
of an itch is a cold compress.
And so we have had Chase construct some clothing
out of what we call chilly willies growing up.
You may call them icy pops or whatever.
- Otter pops, whatever you call-
- You could be wrong.
We call 'em chilly willies.
And let's bring those in-
- Wear them. - And wear them
to cure our itch.
- Little dog hair went everywhere.
- How do you want me to do this, Chase?
- [Crew] I don't know.
- [Chase] Kind of just come into it.
- Well, mine's like a vest, huh?
(Rhett giggling giddily)
- [Crew] Gotta try on your vest.
Mine goes this way.
Other arm, left arm.
There you go.
- No, I have sleeves? - Very hard to roll.
Let's go this way.
- [Crew] I saw your arms, Richie.
- You go down.
(Rhett moaning)
Like this. Okay?
It's a vest, dude.
It's going on like you go down.
It's a vest.
- [Ritchie] You're almost there.
- Oh, it's a fail!
- (laughs) mine's working.
(both laughing)
- You're looks great.
- The Lollipop Guild. (laughs)
- I'm just a shirtless dude
with chilly willies poised on my left arm.
Is it cold?
- What is the "Wizard of Oz" song?
I can't sing it 'cause of copyrights.
- Let's use the rest of mine to make yours even cooler.
(Rhett shuddering)
Hey, baby. I'm so woo!
Oh, oh!
It's so cold in so many places, but you know what?
Gimme a helmet.
I'm not itching. I'm not itching at all.
Have a chilly willy on me, Link.
Literally, have one on me.
There's some on me and you can have one.
This is a good color scheme for me.
I look good in red, blue and green.
You know what?
I'm just gonna stick with the sweater vest,
'cause you're making me cold just looking at it.
I gotta tell you right now,
there's not one inch on my entire body right now.
I feel so cool, calm, and collected.
And I feel like I could go to the club.
They'd be like, look at that guy.
- His name's Willie. He's chilly.
- Willie's here. He's so cool.
(laughs) He's cooler than everybody else.
He's the coolest guy on the dance floor.
He doesn't move his arms
because he's afraid his suit will fall apart.
He just walks around the club
waiting for people to come up to him and oh gosh-
- Give him a hug.
- (exclaiming) Oh, it's so cold.
Okay, I'm done.
Thank you for liking, commenting, and subscribing.

It's a board game.
- World's worst third base coach.
What does that mean?
Are you itching?
What is that? Coach!
(both laughing)
You know why you're the world's worst it's base coach,
'cause you're right next to me and I'm batting.
(both laughing)
