Rhett & Link Test How Well They Know Each Other | Vanity Fair Game Show

We should be pretty good at this.

We've known each other for 37 years.

This this year will actually be the 38th year of friendship.

I will say that I know myself even better than I know you.

Is that a part of this?

Hey, we're Rhett and Link

And we're going to test how well we know each other for

Vanity Fair.

[upbeat music]

All right, who's going first?

What do I spend the most money on?

Really thinking about this one, now.

I'm listening to the number of letters he's scribbling.

[Rhett] No, don't do that, that's cheating.

I don't do a lot of writing with my hand.

This is tough, what do you spend?

You spend so much money.

Every time I turn around.

But think practically, logically.

Yeah. Give me hints.

Think the actual answer.

There is a real answer that is, without a doubt,

the correct one, by like an order of magnitude.

It's it's gotta be food.

I'm going to say beans.

I mean, it's good for the brand.

Home improvement, man.

Home improvement?!

Think about all the crap

that my wife tries to do to the house.

I always considered it that's her spending the money.

[Rhett laughs]

[Link] Right?

I mean that's not my understanding.

What's my favorite time of day.

Oh gosh. This is easy.

I hope you know the correct answer to this.

I never even thought about this.

Oh man, this is so simple.

So straightforward.

Oh, I hope you get it right.

Hush!

Okay. What's my favorite time of day?

100% Objectively true, bedtime.

Can you be more specific?

9:30 PM.

9:20 PM

[Rhett laughs]

Yeah. I'll give it to you.

[Rhett] Hold on.

Bed time baby.

Here's something. I will tell you,

at 9:00 PM, and I only know that-

I'm not with him when he goes to bed.

I leave that to his wife,

but we were together recently and at 9:00 PM,

he was connected to like a music system

and very odd soothing music started playing.

I was like, what?

It went from a playlist we were listening to, to that.

I was like, what was that?

He said, this is my bedtime music.

Yeah.9:20.

Its starts at nine.

What word or phrase do I overuse?

What word or phrase do you overuse?

I'm going to say, Golly!

Golly!

Golly.

You sound like Gomer Pyle.

Who was my first non celebrity crush?

Okay. There's a technical answer,

and then there's sort of a...

Hey, I know you, man.

I don't need any hints.

Okay. Well, I don't know if you know the technical answer,

but I'm going with.

I don't need any hints.

Your first non-celebrity crush was Lisa J.

I didn't think he knew me that well,

I went with Holly W.

[sad trombone]

But see, you're saying I'm right.

So you didn't answer.

You've been so wrong so far

He's answering what he thought I was going to say,

but not what is true.

I answer what's true. So I got it right.

I liked Holly W. for a long.

You go it wrong. You couldn't-

And like Lisa J for like a -

Gotten it wrong. few months.

Lisa was the technical answer.

Lisa was the, I was, I was in first grade.

She was in second grade.

It was one of those combined classes.

I like older women, always have.

Yeah. And then Holly was later.

She was so tall. Volleyball.

[Director] I kinda feel like

you should get a point for that.

Yeah. I do- Yeah yeah.

I'll give him a point.

He gets a negative point.

If I get a point for 9:30, when it was 9:20,

you get a point for Lisa J, when it was Holly W.

It wasn't. It was Lisa.

You admitted to that.

Yeah, yeah yeah.

If I could only listen to one album, what would it be?

One album.

Okay.

Crap.

We did an entire podcast ranking our most meaningful albums.

And I wasn't listening to anything you said.

[Rhett] Yeah, it was very clear by the way

you kept dozing off.

Ah.

Okay. I know this.

Wait, are you going to go

with the one I said it was number one,

or are you going to go with one that would actually,

I would want to listen to the most.

Your favorite album. Isn't that the question?

I can change my answer. I'll put that in parentheses.

He's making a mockery of your thing.

So it's, you're putting down two answers.

Yeah. Yeah.

You're embarrassing me.

I'm trying to give you points.

Thank you.

Serving 190 proof, Merle Haggard.

Heyyy, that's the one I put up the top.

The second I put is Emotionalism,

which is what I said was number one.

But it was also not my favorite.

It was most significant.

I remember you said that.

but the one I would want to listen to

is serving 190 proof, by Merle Haggard.

So I got that right.

Even without a change, again.

I'm definitely, I definitely know you

better than you know me.

Well, I'm easier.

I'm, thankfully, a little more predictable.

What I do for a living, if I wasn't doing this?

Oh dude, I mean, do you even need to write it down?

Just put the initials.

Be as specific as you want.

My buddy.

A stylist of hair.

Can you be more specific?

Um,

no.

So you're saying a hairstylist. I'll give it to you.

A silent hairdresser.

A hairdresser.

[Link laughs]

That typically is words-

That's only like your mom might.

My Nana goes to a hairdresser.

Yeah.

And you know what?

That's my fallback plan.

I've never dressed anybody's hair actually,

besides my own and yours

Hairdresser

Some of the guys, I would cut hair in high school,

but I want to be the one that doesn't talk.

Good.

I can't stand talking when I get my hair done

by a dresser.

When I get my hair dressed, I don't like to speak.

What's my biggest fear?

What's my biggest fear. What's my biggest fear.

I'm going based on empirical evidence.

Okay.

I don't know what that means, but what is my biggest fear?

The dark.

What do you mean empirical evidence?

You've seen me -

When you take your trash out,

like and there's no lights on outside,

you get scared and you run out and run back like a child.

Yeah, but this is my biggest fear.

But what could be in the dark?

Going broke.

Oh. Oh. So you go to the honest answer.

Well, hey, you know, I'm here.

I might as well be present.

[sad trombone]

You know what? You stick with me.

You ain't got nothing to worry about.

[Men laugh]

Thanks granddaddy.

What's my go-to dance move?

How about we face back to back

and we both do my signature dance move.

Okay.

Of course.

This is in the way. I don't know.

This is getting chaotic guys.

Brace. Don't move.

Don't move things.

This is where they want these.

Well, okay.

Okay. Are you ready?

Three,

two,

one.

Now turn around slowly.

No, you're not, yeah, man.

It's you do this thing where, it's all.

And whenever you're talking about

you do a thing with your knees.

You talking about this one?

Yeah. Like-

I have so many.

Since when have you danced and not done that?

Well

What was the other thing?

In my younger days I did, I did more like come a step in.

I'm stepping over the fence. I'm stepping over the fence.

Remember stepping over the fence?

[sad trombone]

No points, no points given on that one.

I'm a little out of breath.

What food could I eat every day?

What food could you not eat every?

[Rhett] Yeah, but you got to narrow it down to one.

This is, this is like fish in a barrel.

Again. It could be anything.

And they would all be right. I'm going to say,

why are you acting like I'm on the right track?

Street tacos.

It's beans, man.

[men laugh]

I said that earlier. I can't.

I used that answer earlier.

Well, I mean, you use it in the wrong place, man.

Hey, but you know what?

I could eat street tacos every day.

I know he could.

Give him a point.

Beans.

What one word would I choose to describe myself?

Well, whenever you start describing yourself,

I've never heard of you limit it to one word.

But what if I did?

Write it down.

One word to describe yourself.

You don't want to..

[Rhett] You got to pick one.

You don't want to be too braggish.

You don't want to be too humble.

I just want to be descriptive.

Yeah.

I think you said tall.

That's right I did!

[Link laughs]

[Link] Tall.

[Link] I did. Tall.

I mean, when it's freakish,

when you're freakishly tall,

you have to, I mean,

that's the thing that people will remember.

All right.

I don't remember much about him, but he was tall.

I have chosen this question

to answer myself in hopes that then

I will get two compliments.

What is my best quality?

Okay.

Why are you acting like you struggling?

Well have it narrow it down, Link.

That's right man.

What's my best quality?

And you can verbally process by listing all of my other,

almost best qualities.

I mean, I was going to say your ability to detach.

[Rhett laughs]

What are you, my therapist?

No, no, not like dissociate.

That'd be just saying like,

Detach

You can, like, you can,

if you going through something and you can be like,

I'm going to -

Compartmentalize.

Yes and do this other thing.

Oh yeah. It's enviable

Yeah. That's right.

See, I seem happy all the time.

But inside, I'm just, I'm in turmoil.

And you're admitting that all these viewers.

Thanks.

You are actually.

I actually said the exact opposite of that.

I said loyal.

[sad trombone] [men laugh]

Well, would that be-

I wasn't talking about detaching from people.

I was like, you know, you're very loyal.

I'm a loyal person who is easily, easily detaches.

But I'm loyal, but don't count on me.

[men laugh]

Who is my best friend?

Tough.

Okay, all right.

This could go sideways real fast.

I narrowed it down,

but it's difficult.

Post Malone, Jack Black.

Who's my best friend.

Like how do you even answer this question?

I mean, what even is a best friend,

if you really think about it,

you know, it's like.

Okay.

Who's my best friend?

Jesus.

[men laugh]

No.

Me, man.

Why you gotta make me say Jesus, ain't my best friend.

Me, man.

Yeah. I almost put my dog Jade.

[Rhett] Yeah, right.

But I did change it at the last second.

I appreciate that you landed on me.

And my wife is also my best friend.

I mean, but you can have more than one best friend.

You don't have to qualify that.

What is she watching?

Definitely not.

My dog's not watching either. That's why I gave it to you.

All right. So who won?

[applause]

I think we did pretty good, man.

We know each other.

I think we know each other really well.

We know each other really well.

Got some things to work on but.
