Gladiators vs Puppets

- Nothing makes me feel more alive than opening mail. - Okay well, let's open some of it. (bagpipes playing). - I'm Brian Hill from Provo, Utah. Good mythical morning. (chiming music). (flames burning). - Good mythical morning. ♪ You know what day it is ♪.

♪ It's Thursday ♪. ♪ And Thursday means mail ♪. - Ah, all right. What a great ending. Oh, you can send this stuff to our POstivus box. and we will get it and we will read it. and we might put it. in the mythical time capsule that will be buried. for at least 10 years, maybe a hundred years, maybe thousands of years. I don't know if we've gone on record.

- Maybe if it gets lost, it'll be buried for thousands of years. - Dear Rhett and Link, I'm Jacob Wagner. - Hello, Jacob. - From Mattoon, Illinois. Last night, I had a dream about you both. and was wondering if you could interoperate it for me. I think he means interpret it. - Yeah, just like you meant Illinois. - The dream starts off in a swamp. and you guys, me, and some other people I don't know. were walking on a dock through a swamp. We got it. It's a swamp.

It was insanely beautiful in the swamp. with a lot of greens and yellows. and a bunch of tall swamp trees. because I dream in high definition apparently. I know no other way. Some people dream in black and white, do they not? - Dogs. - Rhett was talking about how he grew up in the swamp, which was Alabama. Is that true? - No. - This is a dream. See if he knew you personally, he would know it was a dream. - This is in the, maybe I did in the dream world. I don't know. - And Jacob continues I was telling him how I wanted.

to live there because it was so awesome. Rhett stopped and looked at me. and said "No you don't." in all seriousness, which made me very confused. Out of nowhere, some police officers showed up. and yelled "Hey!". I turned to you both. and you just took off sprinting. and dove into the water. and you both swam away. and disappeared under the water. while I was brutally handcuffed and taken to jail. It was the weirdest dream I've ever had. What does it mean?

Sincerely, a confused mythical beast. Okay, Jacob. You wanna know what it means? - I think I know. - You think, you know what it means? - Well, first of all- - I think it's pretty clear. - Just for starters, never go to an Alabama concert with the two of us. That's what I would say, I would say that. - That's the underlying theme here? - Don't see the country music band known. as Alabama? - With us. - In a swamp? - Well here, this actually I think. that what's gonna happen is. in the next five years Jacob, someone, probably someone who's very out of touch.

with what is actually cool now, is going to invite you to an Alabama concert. in Louisiana, probably New Orleans. - So you're saying this dream is a premonition. - Oh yes. - It's telling the future. - All dreams are. These two guys, one short, I mean one normal. - What? I'm not short. - One tall. and one normal size, it won't be us, you're just projecting your future onto us, will invite you to an Alabama concert. Don't go. I'm telling you now. I told you in your dream, don't go. because what's gonna happen is you're gonna go there, someone's gonna get outta hand. They're gonna be the reasons that you should be arrested.

They're gonna get away, you will be arrested. You will be put in jail. - That sounds great. but I mean, I think it could just simply, I mean there's cops, there's abandonment. I think it just may be, you know, issues with authority and fear of abandonment. that you may need to deal with. - Oh, that's no fun. - Talk to your parents or loved ones about that Jacob. Want to thank Jane from Michigan. for sending us what she calls a plushy version. of Belvedere the Cockatrice. It kind of looks like a really cool Christmas ornament.

I'm just gonna hook it in such a way as. to not use it as bait, but to put on a Christmas tree instead. of putting it in the time capsule. 'cause I wanna keep this. - You have to hook it in a way that doesn't cause pain, so you hook it through the thing on the top. - Okay. - Thank you, Jennifer for sending an easel. with the Rhett and Link logo on it. I will paint very small pictures on this easel. - Thank you Valerie, for sending us a magnet. that says fart sake on it. If you know the 100th episode of GMM Season One, I saw this actual license plate in real life.

It says fart sake. - Now, thank you to Malcolm. for sending us a Pentium 4 processor. He thought this would be a good thing. to put into the time capsule. - Brilliant. - I think it's pretty good idea. because this represents a moment in time. and also-. - And technology. - If this is discovered in like a post-apocalyptic time. and all technology is lost, this could be the key to the survival of mankind. in the progression into the future and technology.

- Way to go Malcolm. - Or I might just swallow it. (laughing). - No, we'll put that in the mythical time capsule. I wanna thank Crystalyn. for sending her favorite album on vinyl, which happens to be Merle Haggard's Okie from Muskogee. She says you can put this into time capsule. 'cause it represents brilliant music. I'm gonna use the term a lot today, brilliant. But the brilliant thing about this. is I cannot put this in time capsule. I collect Merle Haggard albums. - It's also too big. I mean, it'd have to be. a large tube. - No, this is amazing.

so this is staying with me. If you wanna send anything Merle Haggard related to us, we will love you forever. just like I love Crystalyn forever. - Christina from Blacksburg, Virginia. sent a finger puppet that is a zebra, but this finger puppet, Link, has a story. - Okay. - This is a zebra finger puppet. that I was hoping could be included in the time capsule. and here's a fictitious story that she made up about him. or it could be real. I don't know. - I would say it's fictitious. - He grew up like any other limbless, torsoless zebra,

I suppose, playing reindeer games and horsing around. That is until he saw your dope zebra video. It was then that he knew his purpose. He was meant to dance. Long story short, he moved to America, ended up in a shoebox in my basement. and intends and wants to be in your time capsule. Christina, you need to work on your print handwriting. His idea is that if you put him in the time capsule, in the future, when the aliens dig it up, they can give him fully functioning limbs and torso. so he can dance. His name is Bertram.

Only you can make his dreams come true. And you know what- - That's puttin'. the pressure on. - I think it's easy. I think it's easy. Let's put 'em in the time capsule. - Yeah, that's easy enough. - After I have a little fun with him, you know? - So aliens in the future will have the ability. to give bodies to disembodied finger puppets. - Well, everybody knows that. - Okay, here's a great one here. This is for the time capsule. It's from Lindsay S. Louise. I don't know, I can't read what that says.

Louise Samsonite on YouTube. She sent a birthday card. - Well it's my birthday. coming up. - No, it's not. This is not for you. This is for aliens who dig up the time capsule. - What? - That's what it says. Dear aliens, it is a time honored tradition. in 21st century United States, among other places on earth, to send birthday cards, like the one you are reading, to family and loved ones. to commemorate the day he or she was born. See, this is brilliant, as I'm saying a lot today.

If you would like to celebrate our customs. of antiquity- - Hmm? - I have included the lyrics to the Happy Birthday song, as well as a recipe for cake, an honored dessert. - Honored. - Enjoy. And here we go, lyrics to Happy Birthday. for the aliens. - I know those. You can't sing that. 'cause if you've sing that, then we- - I'm not gonna sing it but-. - Copyright always. It gets ugly. - She noted, to be sung after candles are lit. - Yeah, well these are aliens. - In the cake. - They don't know what's up. - Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday dear insert name. (alien noises). - Happy birthday to you. - That's an alien name. - This is, that is smart. That is going in time capsule. - Thank you to all. the mythical beasts who sent us things. and of course, it wouldn't be a mail Thursday. without a random episode of Time Rangerers. (dramatic music). - [Narrator] Time Rangerers! - Hey man. - Hey. - Whatcha' you doing?

- Just listening to a CD. - Okay. Hey, you know that time machine gazebo thing. that we kind of time travel in sometimes. - Yeah, over there? - Yeah, the one over there. - Okay. - You wanna go to it? - Not really because every time we get in it, somebody gets hurt so I'm staying here, man. - Look, first of all, it's not really that big of a deal. We always recover. And secondly, this time I have a weapon. - What? - Yeah. - I couldn't hear you 'cause I was listening to my CD. - Hot coffee. - Hot coffee. - Yes, let's go. Let's go to the gazebo.

- Okay. Let's check it out. All right, here we are. Listen, let's do this one thing though. Let's think of the same thing. so we know where we're gonna go. and it's not left up for grabs. - Okay, we'll think about what you wanna think about. - I want to go to first century Rome, dude. - Okay. - It's like a tourist town. - Okay, first century Rome. - Three- - Here we go. - Two, one. (sighing). Wow. Rome, baby Rome. - Yup, this is Rome. It worked. - Here we are.

Look over there. - Over there? - Yeah, over there. It's like the Coliseum freshly built, man. - Okay. You wanna go to it? - Absolutely, let's go. - Okay, let's go. Look at this. This is like some kind of, sorry I need to be moving my mouth. - Yeah, we're still-. - I'm not thinking, I'm not telepathically communicating with you. - Nope, gotta move that mouth. - We're going through. like a VIP entrance of some kind. - Yep, let's do it. It's black in here. - It's like a tunnel. - Black in this tunnel. You thirsty or something? - Yeah, I love this coffee. - All right, here we are.

Wow. Look at this thing, man. Listen, everybody's cheering for us. Yeah. - I don't think they're cheering for us. I think they're cheering for that gladiator over there. that's coming at us. - Over there? - Yeah, right there. - Right there. - This guy right here. He's up in front of us right now. - Oh my goodness. - [Gladiator] Are you not entertained? - Well, I- - Coffee, coffee, throw your coffee on him, man. - Uh, I'm out. - Ah, well I'm hit him with my CD. Ah! No, he's gettin' me in the legs.

with his sword! - Let's get back. to the gazebo! (puppet Link yelling). This way. (space music playing). - All right, let's oh yeah. Okay, we got one more thing here. Aaron Waters sent the epic ninja star duel. and this is a box full of ninja stars that he created. that we are going to use as a secret spot on the wheel. So if it lands on one. of those- - Well that's not very secret. anymore 'cause now we've seen it.

- Yeah. But I mean it, I thought it was such a great thing. that he mailed to us. that we could battle it out. - Where would it be. on a special spot? - Dance Gangnam Style. Oh, oh, oh. Let's let the finger puppet dance too. Oh, oh, oh, oh. (Gangnam Style begins). Gangnam Style. - Now, go to the left. Now, go to the right. Ow, you stepped on my foot.

Now give me some more horse. (Gangnam Style ends). - It would probably be better with music. - Well, we'll put that in. - Is there music? (playful music).
