It's time to reduce your awkwardness quotient
- and up your romance quotient. - Let's talk about that.

Good Mythical Morning!
What's that? What's that? You got a question for us?
Oh yeah. Well, just type it into Facebook or go to Twitter
and then we'll look at it and we'll answer it,
like what we're gonna do right now. I can't actually hear
what you're asking me through the screen right now.
Hey, you know what I can do? I can read it for you.
I can read it like I'm Brittney Grafelman.
(girlish voice) "How can I make being a third wheel less awkward?"
How can you make being a third wheel less awkward?
That's right, we're diving into romance today, starting with the person
who shouldn't be there. The third wheel.
If you're gonna be a third wheel, you need to go all the way.
And you need to commit. And you need to have a purpose
in being there as the third wheel. Case in point: Our junior year
in high school, I decided I was gonna make Valentine's special for my girlfriend
at the time, Sara John, and we had a brainstorming session.
- I invited you in on this... - Yes we did.
..to figure out what I could do that could be a special date.
And I determined that I would be your chauffeur.
(Link laughs)
I don't know if this has ever been done before.
He made himself a third wheel on the date, but he gave himself a job.
I had a Dodge Dynasty, which is a very classy car.
- A four door Dodge vehicle. - I used a really bad British accent
for some reason. I wore a--
- Hat? - A blazer, a hat.
I put a partition up between the back seat and the front seat.
- What was it? - It was a towel.
- I think it was a black sheet, dude. - A black sheet.
I duct taped a black sheet.
And so I rode in the back seat. We drove to her house.
We picked her up. She gets in the back.
She undoubtedly felt very awkward about this in retrospect.
- Really? - I mean, think about it.
- It was classy! - And then I remember we go
to the Cary Towne Center and you drop us off at the mall
- at the movie theatre. - Yeah, talk to 'em about I had
- waiting for you in the back. - At one point, we're driving
and he's driving, and he reaches through the curtain
with an ice bucket with some sparkling grape juice in there.
- Yeah, Welches. - (both laugh)
It was weird. And then we went to the movies.
It was awesome! That's what kind of friend I am!
That's the best buddy move in history, to be your chauffeur!
I thought it was a great idea because you convinced me of it.
Did she tell you it was weird later?
I don't recall what her response was, but I have to think
that it was more awkward for her that it was for either me or you.
We just thought it was a cool idea. When we went to the movie,
when we got out of the movie, you were just sittin' there in the car,
- reading a magazine. - Yeah.
That's what chauffeurs do, man. You gotta be ready!
What if you needed me in the middle of the movie?
- I gotta be ready! - (Link laughs)
- I do appreciate it. - So, yeah, the moral of the story is
if you're gonna be a third wheel, go all the way and have a purpose.
If it's a chauffeur, great. How about Jacob Sinkins?
He says, "How do I capture a female?"
Now, Jacob, if this is sincerely what you wanna know,
we can't help you with that. We're not going to help you with that.
But I'm assuming, I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt,
and I'm assuming that you meant to end this sentence with,
"How do I capture a female's interest?"
Or "How do I captivate a female?" That would've been captivate,
- not capture, but captivate. - So step one is work
on your terminology, dude. And that's probably gonna take a while.
That's all of the steps that you can take right now.
John Khouri asks, "Long-distance relationships?
(British accent) I go to university in England,
she lives in Californ-yi-yay.
Okay, this is a great question. A lot of people in this modern age
are in long-distance relationships, but the thing is that many of them
are in Internet romances and not long-distance relationships
because there is a difference. If you've never met the person,
if you've never had a short-distance relationship,
it's just an Internet romance. It could turn into a long-distance
relationship, but here's the thing that you need to understand.
When you are in contact, close contact. When you've been in an Internet romance
or you are in a long-distance relationship,
there is a weirdness quotient that happens.
Every time you see each other, there is an initial weirdness,
and what you're looking for is the weirdness quotient,
the time that it takes the weirdness to go away, and the level
of weirdness to go down over time. If they are not going down over time,
you can keep it an Internet romance, or you gotta bail.
Keep it an Internet ro-- Like, if you show up
and then say, "Oh, she doesn't smell like I thought she would".
- That can happen. - In the 3D world.
- You've never smelled them before. - You can't then retreat to--
She might as well have mothballs.
"Let's just keep this on the Internet"? There's no going back!
- It's either over-- - It has been done.
- Let's just keep this on the Internet? - Let's just keep this on the Internet.
- It's not an LDR? - I've never done that.
- Okay. - Yeah, and you know--
- I gotta think about that one. - And the 3D versus 2D.
If you've seen somebody in 2D, you've see them in 3D--
everything could change.
(silence)
- Tanya Mich-- - I'm still thinkin' about that one.
Michlin asks, "My husband, Stephen, and I have been together
for 18 happy years now, but you know, we both think we could use
a little more romance in our relationship. Is there anything you can do to help?
Hah! Is there anything WE can do to help?
Well, we're not just gonna sit here and answer your question, Tanya.
It's time for...
(Rhett & Link) That Escalated Quickly!
Typically we answer questions from our desk, but thanks
to Toyota Camry, we're taking our advice to the streets!
We're on our way to Tanya's house in South Pasadena
to help her bring more romance back into her marriage.
(Link) What's the most romantic thing that you've ever done for your wife?
Well, I recently shaved my lower back.
Well, you set the bar low.
(Link) Tanya made a bold choice askin' us for advice.
Now we're gonna help them make another bold choice.
The level of romance in her marriage is about to escalate quickly.
(Link) Their door looks romantic.
(knocking)
You know, maybe we should get a nicer bag.
(Link) It's what's on the inside that counts, Rhett.
(door opens)
- (Link) Tanya? - Guys, so glad you're here!
- Come on inside. - (Rhett) Thanks for having us.
(Rhett) So Tanya, you told us on the Internet that you could use
a little more romance in your relationship.
Absolutely. I mean, who couldn't use a little more romance
- in their relationship, right? - Stephen, what do you think about this?
- (Tanya chuckles) - I think we both realize that.
After being married for 18 years.
I think there's a good vibe here. We got a good foundation to build on.
And I've got a point of inspiration for you.
- Take a look at-- - (Tanya laughs)
- (Link) Sunset Seduction. - (Rhett) That's Roberto and Clarissa.
(Tanya) There's some seriously high PDA going on on that cover.
I would say they look very into each other.
- I mean, she's pulling his shirt off. - (Rhett) Yeah.
Is this what you had in mind?
Um...maybe a little bit, yeah. But--
Do you think you can match this level of romance?
Maybe. But I think we need some help.
That's what we're here for.
Let's do this!
♪ (funky beat) ♪
I think...we are done.
We nailed it.
(Link) Do you feel romantic?
- (Tanya) Oh yeah. - (Stephen) We do.
(Tanya) Very romantic.
Do you feel comfortable?
- (Stephen) Not as much. - (Tanya laughs) Not as much.
You feel the passion?
Oh, there's passion going on, for sure!
- You feel the burn? - Yup.
(Rhett) We need you to become Roberto and Clarissa, okay?
So when I say your part, Roberto, or Clarissa, repeat after me.
Roberto...his ample man chest heaving and glistening,
grabbed Clarissa firmly, but delicately and said,
"Your breath is like a hot summer wind."
Your breath is like a hot summer wind.
(Link chuckles)
Clarissa replied,
"Poison me with your radioactive love, (trills) Roberto!"
Poison me with your radioactive love, (trills) Robert.
How long do you think you can maintain this level of romance?
- In this position? - Yeah.
(Tanya) Not every long!
(Rhett) Feel free to do this whenever you want.
We don't even have to be here. We're gonna leave all this here.
- (Rhett) Keep the love alive! - (Link) You're welcome.

That's a good look for Stephen.
And he's got an air of confidence that I think will stick with him,
along with that wig. I'm sure he's still wearing that wig...
- (strums guitar) - ..for the rest of his life.
(singing) You know what day it is. It's Thursday...
(harmonising) And Thursday means mail.
- Mail. - (strums fiercely)
(strumming drowns out Link's voice)
We'll leave this here, all right.
Check out this canvas, Rhett. I'ma put this--
- A canvas?! - I'ma put this right up here.
- Actually, hold this. - I'll hold this canvas.
I'ma read about it. Hold it just like that, right there.
It's kind of thick in the back, just so you know.
(Link) We gotta get ready to turn the lights off
whenever I give you the word, Eddie.
"Dear Good Mythical Morning. My name is Andrew Umbright.
I am 21 years old and I live in a far off land known as
- Pensecola, Florida... - Oh!
..known for its white beaches and numerous pine trees.
- Oh, yes. - The art work that is included
in this package, I made over several days. Made from canvas, some wood
I had laying around, and an old liquor sign I had.
My grandmother used to own a bar. So here's the thing.
- Thanks, grandma. - Look at that.
It's Belvedere the cockatrice in his natural environs,
and I got this string here that I'm gonna pull.
- Okay. - When I count down from three,
two, lights.
(Link) And then...pull the string--
- (Rhett) Oh! - (Link) There we go.
(Link) Look at that! Look at that.
Now, let's turn the lights back on.
(Rhett) But there's more, Link.
(Rhett) Whoa! GMM and Rhett and Link. That's me and you.
And Wheel of Mythicality. That's what we spin!
- (Link) That's pretty cool. - (Rhett) And there's nothing
on the bottom. Don't show that again.
Look at that!
(Link) So what happens is he blows the fire.
It's like magic! It's like magic.
See if you guys can time that perfectly. Because that's the way
- I want it to happen from now on. - Three, two, one!
(Rhett) Uh, okay, we'll work on the timing.
- But we're opening it up-- - It's like a hidden message in the canvas.
- Does this mean we're opening a bar? - (Link chuckles)
No, it means that we gotta find a place to hang that.
- And that's about it. - I want this as my nightlight.
(Link) Good night, Rhett.
I don't want you there. (laughs)
- Talkin' like that. - Good night, little Rhett.
- Go to sleep. - (Rhett) Okay, thank you for this.
- It's canvas, so it's very hardy. - Thanks for liking and commenting
- on this video. - You know what time it is?
