Are They Best Friends Or Strangers? (ft. Dave Franco)

- Can we spot the besties from the resties? - Let's talk about that. (upbeat music). - Good Mythical Morning! - The new film that he directed and co-wrote. Somebody I Used To Know, is on Amazon Prime Video right now. Please welcome Dave Franco. Gimme one of these. (crew cheers). - Welcome to the show, man. - Yeah. - Thank you for having me. - And happy Valentine's Day. - Back at you, man.

- Is this just an accident that you wore this today? - This is not an accident. There was a lot of discussion. about whether it was too on the nose or--. - No. - No, no? - Oh, no, no. - I'm struggling to make the connection, honestly. (crew laughs). You know, so--. - Are you struggling to make the connection? (Rhett laughs). - No, I got it. Here's the thing about Valentine's Day for me though. You know, we're romantics here at Good Mythical Morning. - Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. - Right. - But I like the idea of expanding Valentine's Day. to celebrate other relationships, specifically best friendship.

- Absolutely. - What's your take on best friendship? You got a best friend? - I'm a fan of best friendship. - (chuckles) That's good. - Okay. - You know what? My best friends in the world, I've known since I was five years old. - Whoa, more than one? - I think I got more than one. - Okay. As long as they agree. - I think they would agree. There's like, there's four of us. who have known each other that long. We lived like blocks apart from each other. We would stand on the four corners of our street. and throw the Frisbee back and forth. - That's nice. - Real cute, nostalgic stuff. - Oh, yeah. - And you're still in touch? - Oh, yeah.

- Still best friendship, kicking it? - Nick Weiss, Sean Hurlburt, Dan Haffner, I love you guys. - (laughs) There we go! (Dave chuckles). - All right. - We got a three-person shout-out! - In no particular order. - Would you guys consider each other your BFF? - I don't know. (crew laughs). Yeah, definitely. - Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. - Since first grade, man. - Yeah, I don't know. - Since first grade? - It's pretty on brand to be-- - Yup, yup. - That's incredible. - Yes. Yeah. - So the question is. can we take our collective best friendship knowledge. and pick best friends out of a lineup, basically? - Oh, I think so. - I feel confident, yeah. - Mm-hmm.

- All right, it's time for I See You Bestie, Or Do I? With Dave Franco! - Welcome to the BFZ, AKA the best friend zone. Stevie, what are we doing? - [Stevie] You're about to meet a series of lineups. comprised of people you've never met before. - Yes. - [Stevie] Within each lineup. will be a secret pair of best friends. - [Rhett] Hmm. - [Stevie] The rest will be decoys who have never met. - Okay. - [Stevie] sAnd it's up to you guys to figure out. who the best friends in each group are. You're allowed to ask as many questions. and assign as many tasks to pairs every round.

to help you make your decisions. Points escalate, and the winner gets a best friend necklace, both halves. - Mmm. - Oh! - And do we get to choose, to swap out our best friend. if we so are inclined? - [Stevie] Ouch. - Yeah, exactly. Thanks, Stevie. - Stevie, um, could I get a little apple box? I'm feeling a little insecure. next to Rhett. (laughs) (Rhett laughs). - I'm sorry. It's a condition. - How tall are you? - I'm 6'7", which is not,

you know, it's not a great height for entertainment. - If you could give me an inch and a half, would you? - Oh, yeah, I'd give you more. - Really? - I'd give you more, man. - What would you give me, three, three and a half? - I mean, I think that like, I think--. - What's your perfect height? - You know, I'd be, I think 6'2" would be--. - 6'2"? - I think 6'2" is like, I think I got five extra inches. I would take 'em anywhere. - I think that puts us. at the same place. - Hey, hey, hey. There's too much of a connection happening here. (Rhett laughs). Save the questions for the friends out here! - That's right! - Let's do it. (whimsical music). - [Stevie] Gentlemen, please meet.

our first lineup of friendly faces. Could you all please introduce yourselves? - I'm Ila. - I'm Xander. - I'm Ariel. - Cristina. - I think I got it. - Oh! - You think you what? - Just off that? - Now, there's, you don't have to ask anything but, 'cause any information that's thrown out there, we all get, but--. - We gotta make it a game. We gotta make it a game. - Who wants to go first? Rhett? - I will, I will, I will. - Okay.

Cristina? - Mm-hmm. - When was the last time you and Ila. got really mad at each other? - Ugh. Okay, so I don't wanna throw her under the bus, but it was literally last week. when she was supposed to meet up with me. And I was like, "Okay, we're meeting at 10,". blah, blah, blah. And she has this problem. with like flaking on me last minute. - Ila, is that true? Are you a flake? - A little. (group laughs).

- A little. - And I've been so gracious with her, but usually, it's usually for a guy. And this time, she stood me up, and so I was there by myself. - Sounds like it's unresolved. Ila, you got something you wanna say to Cristina? - I'm sorry. - It's okay. - We really didn't have. that much time to fix things. - You said this time it was for a guy. that she didn't meet up with you? - Yeah. - And how did it go with that guy? Fine. (crew laughs). - Oh, right. - Not worth it.

- Yeah, I told the story to not throw her under the bus. 'cause it really wasn't a good story. - Oh, she's under the bus. - Okay, all right. - Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm. - I do feel under the bus right now. - I think that did a lot for us, guys. - I think so too. - I think I did a lot for us. - Okay. Ariel? - Mm-hmm. - Can I ask you to. do a little secret handshake? Go up and down the whole line. and give everyone a nice little secret handshake. - [Ariel] Okay. (Rhett chuckles). - Yeah. - [Rhett] Okay, all right. - Can we get a side-- - You want me to do a side? - Sideways view, please?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Oh, there we go. - Okay. - Let's see what you guys got. - [Ariel] Ready? - Okay. - [Dave] Wow, oh, wow. - [Link] Okay. (crew laughs). - [Rhett] Whoa! - [Dave] There it is. - It seems to be patty cake. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - This is--. - Hey, hey, somebody, it's not so secret but--. - [Dave] Okay. - Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait, wait. - Oh, wow, wow, wow, wow. (crew laughs). That's chemistry. All right, next. That's, now you're just showing off. - [Rhett] Okay, is this gonna be it? Okay. - [Dave] Ooh, ooh, shaky start, shaky start. - You know this, come on.

You know this, come on. - [Rhett] Yeah, right. - It's not fair. I mean, we don't have a handshake. - Next, next. (chuckles). - They were bickering though. (crew laughs). (Rhett laughs). - [Rhett] Are you learning anything? - [Dave] That was--. - Okay. Yeah. (crew laughs). - Okay, okay. - Wow. - All right. - All right, that was informative. - Okay. See, Xander, odd man out here.

If you and Ila were to get matching best friend tattoos, what would they be? - [Dave] That's a good question. - It would be Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy. - Oh, yeah, why is that? - Because--. - I would like Ila to tell us why that is. (crew laughs) - Yeah. (laughs). - Well, we grew up watching the Muppets together. We really love the Muppets. I always loved Miss Piggy. He always loved Kermit. - Yeah. - And we--. - When you say you grew up together, how old were you when you first met? - Two.

- [Dave] Two! - Mm-hmm. - [Link] That's early. - [Ila and Xander] Yeah. (crew laughs). - Where-- - They agree on that. - Can I ask you both to say where you grew up. on the count of three? (group laughs). - You can't do that. - Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. - That's too good! You know what, that would be reallY effective. - You're too good at this game. - It would be great. It would be great. - All right, all right, okay. - But--. - We could do it. - Yeah. - [Dave] Yeah? - [Ila and Xander] Yeah. - Did they just whisper that. while we were bickering here? - Okay, fine. (crew laughs). - Okay. - Okay. - Okay, okay. - One, two, three. - [Ila and Xander] Orange County. - So they were--. (crew laughs).

I mean, they could have just been talking. - I think they whispered while we were doing our thing. - I think they might have. gotten to know each other backstage. you know, when they-- - That's intriguing as well. - 'Cause they could also--. - All right, you know what? I don't want any more information going out there. - Really? - Yeah, I mean, you said. you were ready to go before anything. I'm ready to go now. - Gee, let's do it. - Okay. - [Stevie] All right, gentlemen, please write down your guesses on your whiteboards. - I threw my pen. All right. (crew laughs).

Okay. - All right, let's see it. Ariel and Cristina. But you changed the answer. - No, that was just bad handwriting. (laughs). - Before there was even the countdown to Orange County, which is my favorite series, (crew laughs). I was actually thinking. the way that they immediately perked up. when you called Ila and Xander out--. - [Dave] Oh. - I actually think they are best friends. - So, okay, none of us agree. I think it's Cristina and Ila because Ila's body language.

when Cristina was really throwing her under the bus. just was very convincing to me. - [Stevie] Okay. Will the real best friends please step forward? - Oh, dang! Hold on, the only combination we didn't have? (crew laughs) - Nobody got it. - It was like the only combination of people. that we had not guessed. - All right. Let me ask something.

How did you guys know to do Orange County at the same time? - I whispered it to her. while you guys were talking. - [Dave] There we go. - [Rhett] Ah, see, dang! - Xander, get outta here! - Dang, Xander! - [Link] So how long you guys been best friends? - Our parents were best friends. - Yeah, so our whole lives. - Yeah. - So kinda like there was no choice in it. - Yeah. - Basically, but--. - But now we have a choice. - We're still here. And we don't even talk anymore, to be honest. - Yeah. - Oh! Okay. - Oh. - Hey, there's another episode. (whimsical music). - [Stevie] All right, our next lineup is in. Could you all please introduce yourselves?

- My name is Ryyan. - I'm Shannon. - Cristina. - Hey, I'm Kyle. - So Cristina, we're still trying to find you a best friend. (crew laughs). - [Rhett] You're back! - Hey, I'm back. - [Link] Hey. - Cristina being back is just about as suspicious. as Ryyan's second Y. - Yes, it is. - Ooh. Yeah, don't be hogging all the Ys. (Ryan laughs). - Okay. I would love Kyle. and Shannon--.

- Okay. - To kinda go back and forth. and talk about when you guys first met. and just kinda like. let the story kind of weave back and forth. - Ooh, I like this. - Yeah. - As you make it up. - (laughs) Of course. - Maybe. - High school. - High school. - Ninth grade. - Ninth grade. - That, that night, well, I mean, that's when we got close. - Snuck into the classroom. when school was already locked down. It was after school, seven p.m., and we stole. the answers to the test for tomorrow.

(Link laughs). You don't remember? - This sounds like a Saved By The Bell episode. (group laughs). - And then we went in there. and it was the history teacher. - [Link] Right. - And-- - Yeah. And we also left a very nice note on the whiteboard. saying, "Thank you in advance.". - Thank you in advance for letting us steal the test? - I didn't say that last part. - [Rhett] Yeah, yeah, yeah. - [Dave] Okay, okay. Yeah, yeah. - But with different font. so they couldn't tell who we were. - Yeah. - You know what? Why don't you just settle back in?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - [Link] That was great. - Okay. - Hey, good job, bestie. - Good job, bestie. - We don't wanna know any more about that. - Okay. Ryyan, step on out here, my friend. Kyle, let's give you another shot. Ryyan, I want you to tell me. the grossest thing that Kyle does. - Oh, he immediately threw up after trying escargot. We were in marching band together, and at the end of the year, the SESBOA did something.

to basically get a bunch of high schoolers. out to like seven countries in Europe across two weeks. - Okay. - And I ate, like, I ate 'em. I loved it. I like to try new food, so I just do that all the time, but--. - So Kyle, did you, you knew you didn't want to--. - I never had them before. - But you were open to it? - Yeah, yeah, I love trying new things. - So I wanna send it the other direction though. and more like gross habit. I mean, everybody's gonna vomit occasionally, but Kyle, what is the grossest habit that Ryyan has?

- Have you ever heard of if it's yellow, let it mellow? - Oh. - I have not. - Yep, yep. - Yes. - Try being this guy's roommate for two weeks. - He leaves his pee--. - Yeah. - In the toilet. - Hey, but it's very environmentally responsible. 'cause if it's brown, flush it down. - [Link] Every single time. - I mean, when you're best friends, does it really matter? - I don't wanna see your pee, Ryyan! - Okay, I know you don't, but you're going to anyway. - How hydrated is Ryyan in general? What color are we talking? - Talking like, like, have you ever seen like Heinz mustard?

- [Dave] Sure. - I don't... (scoffs). - But like the little--. - Okay, okay. Let's go back. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I like Ryyan's conviction a lot though, yes. - So Shannon and Cristina--. - Okay. - Shannon, how do you feel about Cristina's mother? - She's all right. - Go on. - You know, I came over one day to meet your mom. We wanted to have our first sleepover. This was in high school. I've actually never had a sleepover before.

- Right after you stole the answers to the test? - Yeah. (group laughs). - Don't get it twisted. - Yeah. You know, her mom knew that story. and she thinks I'm a bad influence, so she wanted to see if I really was and--. - You brought the mom into the previous story? - Hold on, hold on. - Right, right. This is a kit and caboodle thing. (group laughs). - Shannon. Shannon! - Shannon. - We love you, Shannon. - That's not how it works! Remind me not to commit a crime with you, Shannon.

- [Link] Ryyan, what do you think of Cristina's mom? - She's an interesting lady, I'll say that much. (Rhett laughs). But I will say if there's anyone. whose cooking competes with my mother's, it's hers. - Ryyan. - [Ryyan] Hmm. - If everyone's comfortable with this, I would love just for you to give, go down the line and give everyone a hug, just a nice friend hug. - All right. - Is everyone okay with that? - Yeah. - Great. - You okay with me hugging you? - Yeah. - Okay. Come here. - Big smile.

- Come here. (crew laughs). Oh! - Whoo! - [Ryyan] All right. - [Dave] That's intriguing. - Thanks, buddy. - That's intriguing. The only thing I do know for certain. is that Shannon's best friend is not up here. (group laughs). - [Link] We all know this. - [Rhett] Well, I mean--. - Yeah, I'm alone. - I bet you got a friend somewhere. - Definitely. - Maybe. - [Stevie] All right, guys. Let's write down our guesses on the whiteboards, please.

- [Rhett] Okay. - Are you still deliberating? I am. - I just, I don't feel great about my answer. - Neither do I, but I just can't-- - Oh, okay. Well, in that case, I feel great about mine. I'm pretty sure it's Ryyan and Kyle. I mean, look at that hug at the end. - I know. I wonder if they're throwing us, but I feel the same. - We all fell for it if they did. - I almost went Ryyan and Cristina. - [Dave] Me too. Me too. Yes, yes! - Cristina had a really genuine smile when they hugged. - Anybody wanna change?

- No, we--. - No, I'll change. I'll change. - Yeah, now that you know what all the answers are. - Yeah, I mean, I'd like to go for the lead. So I'm gonna go with Cris, I'm changing. Is that okay? - Yeah, that's okay. - [Stevie] I will allow it. - All right. - Okay. - I'm gonna change to Cristina. - I'm sticking with Ryyan and Kyle. - Me too. - [Stevie] Will the real best friends please step forward? - Dang it, it was Shannon! Hey, listen. - What happened? - Okay, okay. Hey. - We suck, y'all! - Listen. A second ago when you said. you knew that Shannon didn't have a friend up here, I looked at Ryyan's face and I was like,

hold on, they are best friends. But then I lost heart. - That like, my whole system is in shock. Like, this is... (Ryyan laughs). - Dang it, man! - How long have you guys known each other? - Uh, oh. - 2018? - Yeah, since 2018. - Yeah, that's 19, 20, 21. - Four years. - Yeah. - Five years at this point. - Six years. - Six, yeah. - Mm-hmm, yeah. - Wow. (whimsical music). - [Stevie] Okay, boys, it's been a bit of a rough game. and this is your last chance to get any points. on the board. - Come on! - Yeah.

- [Stevie] New lineup. Could y'all please introduce yourselves? - I'm Xander. - Again. - I'm Xander. - [Rhett] No, he just.. (group laughs) - Okay, okay. - Xander again. - It's just Xander is here again. - Again! - [Xander] So aggressive. - Say it again! Sorry, Xander. Sorry. I didn't know I said that out loud. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - I'm Lindsey. - I'm Kyle. - Again. - I'm Kyle. - I'm Jenn. - All right. Jenn,

can you tell me. what's something that Lindsey could not live without? - Oh my god. This girl loves hotdogs and relish. Like, if she could be in an hotdog eating contest, I'm telling you. - Lindsay, where's your favorite hotdog spot? - I don't know. Pink's, is that too generic? I do really like it. - [Dave] Yum. - They have a lot of good. different flavors. - Yeah. - Yeah, okay. - Okay. That's a good one. That's a good one. - Jenn, what about Kyle?

What's something he couldn't live without? - Oh, man. (crew laughs). Okay. Cheese steaks. - Don't be embarrassed. Just say it. - Cheese steaks. - He's a Philly guy. - I am from Philadelphia. - I'm also from Philly. - Xander, what's something that Jenn can't live without? - Her cats. - Oh. - How many cats does she have? - Two. - Okay. - Names? - Duncan and Tina. - Whoa. - Huh. - Xander's moving quick today. (crew laughs). Xander's moving quick! - What kind of cats are Duncan and Tina, Jenn?

- Tabbies. - [Dave] Ooh. - Gray tabbies. - Xander, can you tell us. something really embarrassing about Kyle? - He has terrible gas. - Mmm. - I mean, and I know that's like generic, but like, I brought him to like my family for Christmas. and he gets a lot of anxiety. Like, we were blaming the food for a bit. - Hmm. - And then he had the--. - It's the fear farts. - Yeah. - [Rhett] Ah, fear farts. - They're the worst. - Okay. Can I have Lindsey and Kyle just kinda come out. and I'd love you to just kinda stare. into each other's eyes for like 10 seconds,

see what happens. - Kyle, you're so goofy, dude. (group laughs). - It's just so good to see her. - (laughs) It's just so good to see her. - Here. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - With all of you. - Jenn, can you swap out with Kyle and do the same? Oh, no. - Swap out with Kyle? - Swap out with Kyle. - So me and Lindsay? - [Dave] Yeah, yeah, yeah. - [Rhett] Kyle, you step back. (crew laughs). - I liked how Lindsey shoved Kyle out of the way though. You know what I mean? - Yeah, yeah, yeah, like with no regard for him.

- Okay, okay. - I can't keep track of the connections. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Like, I know the few that aren't working for me. Okay, Xander and Jenn, come forward. Let's say you're in a photo booth. and you're doing some poses. Three, two, one. Three, two, one. Three, two, one. - [Dave] Hmm, okay. - Nothing. - Okay, okay. - Nothing. - The heads stayed pretty far apart the whole time. - They did, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - I'm so frustrated right now.

- Xander, will you do something. that's gonna make make Kyle laugh? Just do something to make Kyle laugh. (Xander screams). All right, dude. - You made everyone else but Kyle laugh. (group laughs). - He's used to it. - He's used to it, he's used to it. - All right, I'm ready to vote, I think. - Okay. - [Dave] Dang. This is, shoot. - It doesn't seem. like anybody's best friends up here. (chuckles). (crew laughs) You know? It's not that more than one set seems like best friends. It's that no one seems like best friends.

- Yeah. I don't think any of 'em should be. - All right. - What do you got? - Kyle and Jenn, similar energies. - I got Lindsey and Kyle. - Dang. - Just from the push, the unapologetic push. - And I got Lindsey and Jenn. So again, nobody guessed the same thing. - Almost did Lindsey and Jenn. - [Stevie] Will the real best friends please step forward? - Dang, it was Xander and Jenn! - No!

- And again, nobody did it! - What do we know about best friendship? I mean, what about the--. - Hey, okay, listen. When you guys talked about the cats. and it was very, very quick, that was the most convincing moment. I feel like we should have just gone with them. - I know. Are those actually your two cats? - [Xander and Jenn] Yeah. - [Dave] You have two tabby cats? - Yup. - So do I. - [Stevie] Well, this means. that at least someone wins the necklace. Jenn and Xander. - [Rhett] Yeah. - Lucas, please fly out the necklace. that no one of the players. won today. - Listen.

I was on team Jenn and Xander. until you guys did the photo booth moment. - [Dave] Oh, me too. - Yeah, I know. - Yeah, it was a little distant. My friend, Lucas, is going to give each of you--. - [Stevie] Oh, Lucas. (crew laughs) - [Dave] Lucas. - I'm Lucas, you guys. - Mad Dog Lucas. He's our jeweler. - I didn't think I'd be doing this part. (laughs). - [Jenn] Love that you're putting it on--. - Yeah. It's caught in your hair a little bit. but that's okay. - That's okay. - [Link] Dave, I gotta tell you, man. - [Jenn] Everything usually is. - This freaking sucks. This sucks. - Are we the opposite sides though? - [Link] We tried so hard yet came up so zilchy.

- Okay, we're not good at spotting best friends, but we're good at being best friends. - That's true. - Yeah! - That's what's important! - That's all that matters. And Dave, now I consider you a close friend. (Rhett laughs). I mean, you gave your all. - Yeah. - And there's pie on all of our faces. Like, that's a bonding moment. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - [Dave] I love that. - See, we're friends too. - Yeah, I love hugging another 6'7" guy. - Dave, thanks for coming out. - My fellow 6'7" man. - Hey, be sure to check out, check out Somebody I Used To Know.
