Good Mythical Morning. - Good Mythical Morning. - Today's episode is brought to you. by the Rhettandlinkommunity. Go over to rhettandlink.com and click on beast. Join the community and go draw something. You can draw us as superheroes.

It don't make a lot of sense, but it's okay. Feel free to do it. - All right. Thanks for joining us today. First of all, right off the bat, if you want to be in an intro of Good Mythical Morning. now is the time to make your video response. to the latest Good Mythical Morning episode. which right now is this one. but then in subsequent episodes, it will be other ones. - Welcome back. Didn't expect you here today. - It is-- I know I got back a little bit early. Pow! - I thought you would be here--. - It's Friday and I'm here. - --on Monday's episode.

- I know you kind of set expectations, "Oh, he's gonna be out all week,". and well I'm, I'm back here. I just could not stay away. - Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my co-host. for today's episode. While Link's away we've got co-hosts. This week, or today, it's Mustached Link. - I, I'm glad to be back, people. I missed you. Rhett, I missed you too. - I missed you a little bit. - I missed you. I'm gonna grab you. on the shoulder in order to emphasize it. and also create a little bit of awkwardness. Why don't you grab me on the shoulder too? Bring the awkwardness-- other shoulder.

Bring-- other shoulder. When-- this is not a game of Twister. I meant move this hand to this shoulder. And now, now that's the perfect level of awkwardness. I missed you. Okay? Yeah. We went beyond there. I'm, I'm glad to be back. Um--. - No. Have you been watching the show. while you been gone? That's my question. - Um. - Cause I hope not. - No, I, I haven't watched the show, but I have. read the comments to see how much I was missed. And I was, I was disappointed in the level of missedness.

from you people who decide to comment. Now, I, I believe there is a silent majority. of people who really missed me that didn't comment. And that's okay. Because I would like to thank. the people who filled in for me. I'd like to thank Chuck Testa. I'd like to thank Joe Bereta. And I'd like to thank Locke and Shepherd. I understand that they were all, based on the comments, that they were the co-hosts. That, and some of the thumbnails I looked at. - And, and listen, you don't have to go back. and watch 'em because all we really did was just talk. about how great you are and how much we missed you. and how the show is not the same without you. You know, there was no trash talking.

There was no talking about what we're gonna do. to you during the apocalypse, say, with Chuck Testa. There was no talk about, you know, the fact. that I might go, be joining a new duo on the Internet. None of that. We didn't talk about any of that. was about you and how we--. - Really? - --couldn't do this without you. And, this is not a split screen by the way. This is, see, look. Look at that. Couldn't do that. - Well, you--. - We don't, we don't know how to do that. - You've already touched my chest. so that that's taken care of. - That's true. - I mean, what, what, you know, what? You haven't acknowledged my, my mustache. - Yeah. I, I said you're, "Welcome Mustache Link.".

- Oh yeah, you did. You did. That's all you're gonna say about it. - Well, I gotta be honest with you--. - Cause I, the people already commenting about the mustache. which just don't, if you don't like the mustache, don't comment on. I don't--. - Well. - I don't need that. If you don't like it too bad, cuz you're gonna have to put up with it. the entire month of November. - I would, I would pass by mirrors. and give myself a double take. I was like, who is that 70's-era detective. who keeps following me in, in mirrors. I, I had a beard for, you know, it just kind of.

grew a little bit and then shaved it off. And then I went in there and Link had said, first thing he said was you look like a guy. from a detective movie. - Oh, good. - That's what Lincoln told me. - I mean, I think it looks good. You, you've, you got some shape to it. I see. - You have to have, you have to assume a certain look in your eye. when people look at the mustache. - I'll be honest. I was hoping for a little bit more mustache. by this point. - Really? - But you know, we got all month. - Okay. - So you know, you can, you can surprise us. - 007. Let's move right into the business of the day. From-- I know, I think I, we're gonna prove.

that I know very little about 007. - Yeah. - In, in this. But I do know. that the movie is, is, there's a brand new one. - There is a brand new one that actually my friend. premiered last night, premieres today. - Okay. - So go and watch Skyfall. - Skyfall. - Now this is not about Skyfall in--. this is about James Bond in general. Okay. It's been around for a long time. And what are we gonna do is. I've got some trivia for you, Link, and I'm gonna give you some true thoughts. Statements.

- Okay. And this is an opportunity for, for you people to learn and, I predict, to learn from my mistakes. I'm just, I'm just hedging already here that, you know, I, I have a 50/50 chance with every single one of these. - If you get all these right--. - But this is just a learning opportunity. Okay. This is not, this-- I don't need to prove myself. I already have a mustache. - If you get all these right I will get you some ice cream. - You'll get me some. - Yeah. - Okay. - All right. Before it was-- true or false, okay? - Ben and, Ben and Jerry's? - Any, anything you want.

I'll give you ice cream with gold flakes in it. if you get all these right, okay? - Gold finger flakes. - Before it was a blockbuster movie franchise--. - Golden eye flakes. - Hey, we have a lot of stuff here, okay? - Okay.

- Yeah! Two for two! Ice cream. Can you taste it? - Yeah! Num, num, num, num, num. No. Not yet. - It won't last. Those are what they call soft balls. (laughing). - Soft balls. I-- which, incidentally, is the next James Bond movie. - Yep. Yeah. It's--. - They all have some innuendos. - Soft balls. They're gonna bring Sean Connery back. - You're gonna bring Sean Connery back. Where are my, where are my soft balls? - Evil Mr. Soft Balls is, is the, the henchman dude, the bad guy.

JFK. While he was president, it was the last film that he watched. You think, you think Herbert--. - He was watching it in the car when they. - No. Herbert Hoover, they didn't have that kind of technology. Herbert Hoover would've been like 90 years old. - Yeah. - Put on the Bond for me. I like the way the girls look. Ugh--.

- That's exactly what I was thinking, which is why I said true. - The role went to Timothy Dalton. But the first choice to play Bond. in The Living Daylights was Pierce Brosnan. - No, both-- I'll say true. - True, that's right. Timothy Dalton ended up playing-- Timothy Dalton, I think we all agree, worst Bond ever. Let's move on. And--. - Jason does not agree. - You think Brosnan is the worst ever? - [Jason] Roger Moore. - You think Roger Moore's the worst ever? - [Jason] Oh yeah. - You're fired. In 1989's License to Kill--.

Interesting how that happens. - Well, when you love birds. you got little time for much else. - The motto on the Bond family crest is, "The world is not enough.". - True. - True.

True. - It's a martini, man. - Oh, you! I was think--. - I slipped it in there, no! - I was thinking shaken and stirred! - No ice cream for you. - Dang it. - No, I still have a quarter of an ice cream. - That was a curve ball.

Sean Connery wore a toupee in all his James Bond films. - True. - It is true. - What? - It is true. Sean Con--. - I know, I said true! - But it surprised you.

Curveball. - I threw a softball at this guy and-- okay, I'm losing it. Okay. Here we go. - Last one? - Never really had it to begin with. Last one. James Bond has had relations.

with 52 women in all of his movies. And you know what I mean by relations. I don't mean he's related to 'em. - 52? Cumulatively? - Yes. - False.

It's all a lip dub. - Overdub. - Yep. Okay. So listen. As we're spinning the wheel the proper way,

I mean, you know what, one thing I did miss about you. is the way you spin the wheel. It really brings a, some joy to my heart. - There's a strength in it. - We need more wheel suggestions for you. We're running outta ones that we wanna to use. So submit those in the comments or Facebook or Twitter. Let's see how this episode is going to end. - Blackness. - Boy, this is a very James Bond ending. - Here we go. (sings James Bond theme). Push-up contest. - Oh, yeah. Now we're talking. - Bring it, punk. - Yeah. Now before we start, I would like to say.

that I believe technically we should take the number. of pushups that we can do. and we should multiply it times our arm length. And that would be technically fair. - Math has nothing to do with this. Let's do it. (upbeat bluesy music). (grunting). - [Cameraman] Link at 27. Link at 28. Rhett at 26. - You're not going down far enough, Mustache!

- [Cameraman] Link at 29. Link at 30. 31. - Okay. Now multiply. multiply that times our arm length. Mine's 37 inches. - How's it feel like to be a loser? - I'm not used to it. That's for sure. (upbeat instrumental outro).
