How well can a couple of Americans do on an international game show? – Let’s talk about that. (upbeat theme music) Good mythical morning. – We told you we were gonna do it again. After attempting to eat scalding hot food with our hands in honor of a great Japanese game show, today, we are back to pay tribute to another international game show, this time from across the pond. – Oh, that was really good. And yes, today, we’re trying our hands and our minds at Taskmaster. – Taskmaster. – The popular British game show in which a group of comedians compete to pull off various tasks that seem simple at first but are actually bloody hard. (crew laughs) – Oh, that, that was really good. We’re going to face off in some of the Mythical crew’s favorite tasks from the actual show. – That was really good (crew laughs) and sounded just like the Animaniacs. It’s time for, (upbeat music) Can We Master This Game Show From Across The Pond Or Will We Flop Like Pierce Brosnan’s James Bond? – All right, like Rhett said, this is all about pulling off seemingly simple tasks faster and better than your competitors. And we’ve already been, we’ve already filmed– – Yeah. – Each of our parts. – We’re just watching now. – Completing our task, but we have no idea what the other person did. – Right, so each round, we’re gonna watch how well or not well the other person did and find out the winner, who will be named the Taskmasker, (chuckles) master. I always wanna say Taskmasker. That’s a different thing. The Taskmaster Headmaster. – All right, I’ve been waiting for this, Stevie. – [Stevie] Okay, well, let’s find out what your first task was via this clip. – What up, y’all? (laughs) Yeah! – Hello, Chase. – Hey, Rhett. – I don’t like this. – The great Chase-scape. Tie yourself up, oh, as securely as possible. – The player who is freed from his restraints fastest by Chase loses. You have five minutes. Your time starts now. – With just the rope? What is all this crap? – [Stevie] Okay, so you both received the task. What were you– – Same task. – [Stevie] Thinking at this point? What was your like, strategic thought process here? – Make it real hard for Chase. (chuckles) I mean… – I don’t know if you cut it out, but I had to read the card probably like five different times. I don’t know, I just couldn’t, my reading comprehension was like, I wasn’t thinking a lot at this point, like tie myself up. I was like, use some of the stuff. – I was definitely thinking I don’t know a lot of good knots. – Yeah, I was like, I gotta go with like really hard knots. That’s what I was thinking at this point. – Really? – Yeah. – I actually wasn’t thinking knots ’cause I don’t know knots well. – My strategy changed, but that is what, how it started. – [Stevie] Okay, let’s see how you both did. – Okay. Yeah, okay. I’m gonna screw you up bad, Chase. – None of this stuff is gonna help, help me do it. Oh, this is nice. This is good. (crew laughs) – Oh, this is interesting. – So I got… (grunts) – [Rhett] Oh. This feels dumb. (crew laughs) – [Stevie] Less than half your time remains. – Less than half my time remains. – [Rhett] Yeah, yeah, yeah. You don’t know my plans. – I don’t know what kind, do you have a knife? – Not on me. (crew laughs) – Rhett I’m not an idiot! – You ain’t never gonna get me out of this! (crew laughs) (crew laughs) – [Stevie] Are you just putting on a belt? (crew laughs) – Okay. – [Stevie] And time. Hands away. Okay. Okay, Chase, you may approach. – Now, according to the thing that I read, you’re gonna try to free me. – Yeah. – [Stevie] Free you from your restraints. – All right. – [Stevie] And time begins now. – All right, I think I have an idea. (laughs) (crew laughs) All right. – (grunts) Yup, that’s one of ’em. – Okay. See, that’s what I said. Do you have a knife? Do you have scissors? – Yeah, you kinda gave me that idea just so you know. – [Link] Are you serious? (crew laughs) – [Chase] Careful now. I got scissors. – Give me that. Give me those scissors. – [Stevie] Please, please, please be careful. – (laughs) I don’t think I can do it. (crew laughs) – Put your scissors down. Put your scissors down! (Rhett grunts) I don’t wanna hurt you, Chase. – [Chase] I know you don’t. I can file a lawsuit. – Now this is just a wrestling move. – That okay? Like, I’ll reposition. (Rhett grunts) Like that. (Rhett grunts) (crew laughs) – He’s trying to use his teeth. (crew laughs) – Whoa! Whoa, hey, brother! (crew laughs) – [Link] Don’t hurt me, Chase! – Oh! Oh! (Link grunts) – Oh, oh. It’s really, oh, that’s real tight right there. (Chase laughs) All right. (grunts) – [Stevie] And time. – One. Two. (crew laughs) Three! I got you, man. How long did Rhett go? – [Stevie] Okay, I feel like you’re, I mean, you’re pretty free. I mean, you have some dangleage, but you know. I think we can call it. – None of this, only if I won? (crew laughs) So you were, you played kinda dead, and I, it occurred to me that like, I could put up a fight. – Yeah, I put up a little bit of a fight, but every time I grabbed onto the chair with my feet, I felt like I was cheating. Obviously, you didn’t. (laughs) – Nope. (crew laughs) There were no rules. It just said keep him from– – Yeah. – I mean, he brought in the scissors. At that point– – I will say that Link was nowhere near the chair like halfway through that. I don’t know what the– – [Stevie] Well, the thing is– – They’ve already made a decision, Rhett. – Oh, okay. – They’re not currently making a decision. – [Stevie] I was gonna say that the rules said nothing about using the chair. It’s just that you both decided to sit in the chair. – Oh. – Oh, really? – [Stevie] Yeah. – Okay. – [Stevie] Okay. – So what were you hoping we would do? Just tie ourselves– – [Stevie] Oh, I was hoping for this. (crew laughs) – And first of all– – Chase wasn’t. – Chase– – Were you? Oh, you’re right there. – Are you okay? – [Chase] Yeah. I felt really sore after our battle, Link. – Yeah, I could tell. – Where? – [Chase] After you had pinned me down and I like wrapped my leg around your shoulder, I felt it just in my neck and like shoulders for at least– – Oh. – [Chase] Like a couple hours after. (laughs) – Oh. – Yeah, you didn’t expect to get that much of a physical workout just trying to free two men from– – [Chase] No, it was fine. I just had to like rub some Tiger Balm on it. – I’m sorry. You know what? (Chase laughs) I’ll send you to a physical therapist. – [Chase] I mean, you did your task and I did mine. I’ve got no complaints. (laughs) – I felt great. – [Stevie] Rhett, it took Chase one minute and 43 seconds to untie you. – Yup. – [Stevie] And Link, it took Chase three minutes and 36 seconds to untie you. – (chuckles) Yeah. – To fight you off. – [Stevie] So Link wins this round. – To fight me off, yeah. – [Stevie] Let’s see how it went when you received your instructions for your next task. – Oh, gosh. – Okay. (chuckles) I’ve recovered from my chain wedgie. (crew laughs) – Sando weirdo. Make the weirdest sandwich for Stevie. – You have seven minutes to gather ingredients and construct it. Your time starts now. Well, I know where the ingredients are, in the kitchen. – [Stevie] Okay, so at this point, you’re confident in your culinary skills. – I went to the kitchen too, I’ll tell you that. – Yeah, well, I did that. Let’s just say that I had a strategy that I felt so good about at first. (chuckles) – Let’s just say that strategy is not a part of my vocabulary. (crew laughs) – [Stevie] Let’s see how you both did. – Breads. – [Rhett] Oh, so nice. – [Link] Tim’s salsa. Tim’s got his own salsa. – Okay, okay, okay, okay. – Baking soda’s edible. – I love Cheez Whiz. You know I’m a bean man, but I’m gonna take time and open those up. Black crickets, that sounds good. – Ah, I need some vinegar. – You hungry, Stevie? – [Stevie] Yeah. – Yeah. Yeah. Oh, Hebrew National. She’s Jewish, so that’ll be good. I got you some Hebrew National. (crew laughs) Thought you’d like that touch! – Mustard. (Rhett grunts) All right. So got some Bojangles seasoning. – Got you a jackfruit! (crew laughs) Thought you’d like that touch! – I got some yellow mustard. I got some of Tim’s salsa. – Okay, this is gonna get weird because, Stevie, what I’m gonna do here is I want you to realize that the table itself is the middle of your sandwich. (chuckles) Is that weird enough for you? Do you get it? Do you get it? – [Stevie] I mean, I, so yeah, that is actually Tim’s salsa. And I don’t, I don’t wanna be the one, I mean, if, I feel like you, but it’s really his salsa. So, I’m just saying. – This is a little shout out to my mom, Mama Diane McLaughlin, ’cause I’m a hot dog sandwich man. – I’m sure I can find this. (crew laughs) – [Stevie] But I think it’s like for after this segment that he’s using it. – But kinda makes it weird, right? (crew laughs) I’ll have a conversation with Tim. – Okay. You like jackfruit? – Nothing like a good damp sandwich. Bojangles french fry seasoning because, Stevie, I know you miss North Carolina. – Okay, I’m just gonna create a little crosshatch here. I’m gonna have to do some structural stuff to kinda get this to (grunts), just, I need to just… (crew laughs) – Found this in the cabinet too. – Oh! – I call this the sorry, Tim sandwich. (crew laughs) Ooh, ooh! – The way I’m gonna pull this off is this is the bottom piece of bread. The top piece is jackfruit. And it sticks right there, right on the center. – [Stevie] And time. – Taste your sandwich. – [Stevie] Well, it does look good. It does look weird. But the thing is, is that there’s a part two to this challenge, and that part two, if you take a little peek under the table, you might see something familiar. – Another sealed envelope perhaps. – Oh, look at that. And if you tell me I gotta eat this, I will be very upset. (crew laughs) – Sando weirdo part two. Eat your weird sandwich. (crew laughs) – I should have known! – Jokes on me, huh? (crew laughs) (Rhett sighs) – Well, my goodness. I’m going to eat this cricket. (sighs) (crew laughs) There you have it. – That was a wild ride, wasn’t it? – I see we both stopped short on actually consuming the sandwich that we had made. – I mean, the part that I ate was really nasty. – Well, I ate a cricket. – And how was I supposed to eat Tim’s salsa when it was still in the thing? Which makes that a super weird sandwich, and I hope that puts me over the top, but it– – No, I made the table the interior of my sandwich. – That was very, very creative. – Hey, I mean, hey, it was very weird. – That was the most creative thing you did in the whole thing. – Oh. – I made mine into a science experiment, and I also like, I don’t know, I like created a rocky path forward in my relationship with Tim. – Have you spoken with Tim? – I did speak with him afterwards and I’ve asked him to be here just to clear the air ’cause, Tim, come on in. I just feel, you know what? I feel like a jerk. I wanna apologize to Tim. Tim, I’m sorry for, I wasn’t targeting you. – Sure, yeah. – I just saw salsa with your name on it and I was like, that’d be the weirdest thing on the sandwich. And if I don’t open it, you can still do whatever you’re gonna do with it, which I just thought it was like lunch salsa. – Yeah. No, I was going to like an event afterward. We were watching Over the Garden Wall and we were gonna have, I brought some salsa, which, that’s not the original salsa. – This is like your go-to salsa? – Yeah, it’s my go-to salsa. – Is this it? This is not the original. – Not the, well, it’s not the one that you did stuff to. – I cleaned it up afterward. – You did. – And I apologize profusely. – Did it work well enough? – And if this didn’t get me to win this round, boy, I’m just gonna feel like a total turd. – Stevie? – [Stevie] Well… – I mean, it was weird. – [Stevie] You’re both making very good arguments. What I have here is that a single cricket is smaller than a bite of the sandwich. – Eh, so that’s a demerit. – But I’m, I had a philosophical argument. It was edited out. – [Stevie] Yeah. – But I said something about Plato, (crew laughs) that a small part of a thing is, in essence, that thing itself. – [Stevie] There is creativity across the board here. And if it were up to me, I’d give you both a point, but only one of you can be the ultimate Taskmaster. So what do you two think? (crew laughs) – Let’s let Tim decide. – [Stevie] That sounds great. Tim? – Wha… – I’m fine with Tim deciding. I mean, it’s the least I can do. – All right. Well, out of the two things that would be in the sandwich, salsa or a table, I think that the table’s the weirder of the two. – Okay, I’ll accept it. – All right, I get the point. – Okay. – I’ll accept it. – Yeah. – Thank you, Tim. – I’m just glad that we’re cool now, hopefully. – Yeah, we’re totally cool. – All right, thank you. – I’m gonna put my name on this and put it in the refrigerator. But if you’d like to have some, just let me know. – But just ask permission first. – Ask permission. – Yeah, yeah, yeah. – Okay. – I respect that. I promise, I promise. – Okay, cool, yeah. (crew laughs) – Thank you, Tim. – [Tim] Mm-hmm, no problem. – [Stevie] Okay, for your final task, you were joined by a third competitor, Emily. Let’s take a look. – Rhett. – Davin. (crew laughs) (Rhett chuckles) – [Rhett] You look real nice. – Thank you. – What, you’re going on Wheel of Fortune again tonight? (crew laughs) – Here’s your task. – Selective detective. – Using only yes or no questions, interview Davin to learn what he ate for breakfast this morning. Any contestants that ask the same question as another contestant– – Whoa, will be disqualified. Once you have a guess, write it down and hand it to Davin. Whoever gets the correct answer in the fewest questions wins. Yikes. – This is confusing to me, man. – What? – So it’s the old yes or no– – It’s such a hard game to play already, and then to try to play it without asking a question that somebody else is gonna ask. – And I didn’t know there was, that Emily was gonna be a part of this. So we’re gonna bring Emily in, but first, we just want give a shout out to our gift bags that we have at mythical.com. ‘Tis the season to put things in bags and give it to people. This one says Mythical is Happiness. And the other one that’s totally different is a Cotton Candy Randy Warhol but Santafied, and this isn’t it. – I was about to say that looks just like this one. – [Link] But we’re showing a picture of it over this. – [Rhett] Oh, very interesting. – [Link] And it also exists in real life. – [Rhett] It does. – So it’s two bags that you can get at mythical.com to put your stuff in and then reuse, you know. Don’t throw ’em away afterward. Emily, come on in. – [Emily] Hey! – So did you know? I mean, obviously, you knew that we were both doing it, but we didn’t know you were doing it. – Ah. I didn’t know what I was doing. (crew laughs) I was just told to like– – To just show up. – Well, you were asking your questions. – Just show up. – And if you ask a question that one of us asked, then who would be disqualified? See, I don’t know. – [Stevie] Both, both people. – Both, both parties. – Oh, but there’s three of us. Oh, yeah. – Yeah. I knew I was at the end, so I had to like, I was like, so I did my best. – All right, let’s see. – All right, here we go. – Did you like it? – Yes. – The thing that you ate for breakfast, did it, could it hurt? (crew laughs) – No? – Do you eat this every day? – No. – No, okay. – Was it a meat? – Yes. – [Rhett] Hmm. – Did you, oh god! Why is this so hard? – Would you eat this breakfast item before you work out? – No. – Does it contain meat? – Yes. – Was it on a flat thing? – Yes. – Okay, so it was on, I’m gonna call that a plate. – Is this item typically only eaten for one meal of the day? – No. – You think I’ve eaten it? – Yes. – Did you apply any principles of thermodynamics to your breakfast? – Yes. – Would you eat this breakfast item at a holiday feast? – No. – [Emily] No. – Would I consider it odd? – No. – Were you happier after you ate it? – No. – Mm-hmm. – Was it cow? – No. – If you ate only what you had for breakfast this morning for the rest of your life, would you die? – No. – Oh. (crew laughs) You wouldn’t die. – Was it pig? – No. – Do you think I’d like this food? – Yes. – Yes! – With each bite of your breakfast, did you chew more than 15 times? – No. – 14 times? – No. – 13 times? – No. – Did you have this just for this thing that we’re doing? – No? (Davin laughs) – When I find out what the correct answer is, am I gonna be like, “That’s not a breakfast!” – Yes. – Ha! Well, that just really breaks this whole thing open. – Was it a bird? – Yes. – Is this a thing you pick to try to seem interesting? – No. (crew laughs) – Is it blue? – No. (laughs) – Is it green? – Nope. – Is it red? – No. – Is it brown? – Yes. – I hope nobody went down the color route. So it’s brown. – I mean, I’ve asked so many questions, I have to put in a guess here. – Okay, I’ve guessed. (bell dings) – [Davin] Barbecue. (bell dings) Chicken biscuit. (bell dings) Skin. – Why are you laughing? (Emily laughs) – Hold on. You went for a half an hour? I had left. – I want you to know I was here– – You were waiting on him? – Uh-huh. – And I had– – I didn’t know. – I had a date waiting in a bar in the back of a diner that’s near here where the old folks hang out. (Rhett laughs) You wouldn’t know which diner. We won’t say which one. But he waited there an hour and he didn’t care. (laughs) (Rhett laughs) – I mean, I didn’t know anybody was going after me. I thought you were done. And I was trying really hard to come up with original– – You did. – Questions. – [Rhett and Emily] You did. – Yeah. – Cause I didn’t, nobody got disqualified, and it was only because of me. – Yeah, but the, it was, you were trying to do the least amount of questions without asking another question. – Hmm. – I forgot about that. – I was surprised you didn’t do the Walmart technique. – Well, I felt sure that someone would copy me. – [Stevie] Well, the good news is, is that no one copied anyone but– – Which is a miracle. – [Stevie] We are in need of an answer, and that is from Davin. Davin, please. – Yeah. I mean, my work paid off if it’s skin. (Emily laughs) – Well, I can tell you for sure it’s not skin. (laughs) – Okay. – It’s not barbecue. – It is not barbecue. – Oh. – It was chicken. It was not chicken biscuits. – But that’s close enough, right? – I had leftover chicken McNuggets for breakfast. – Leftover chicken McNuggets for breakfast. Now why would you do a thing like that, Davin? (crew laughs) – That’s not breakfast! – Exactly! – I don’t know. – It’s brown! (Emily laughs) – But I did say chicken ’cause– – I learned more than you guys did. – I mean– – I went down the bird route. – Yeah. You you have the word chicken in it. I mean, I’m not gonna be the one to decide. I’d like the point. – [Stevie] Well, so Rhett, it took you– – I tried the hardest. – [Stevie] 14 questions to get it wrong. – Emily, it took you 11 questions to get it wrong. Link, (chuckles) it took you 34 questions to get it wrong. – That’s averaging like– – It’s like a question a minute or so. – Every question was over a minute. – Yeah. – Like, that’s how much I was thinking. Thank god for editing. – Mostly because you always closed your eyes and got uncomfortable. Is it– – You were like Barbara Walters, like, it’s like– – You would spend a bunch of time thinking and then say something like… (Emily grunts) (Emily laughs) – I hated it. I hated it. – Is it blue? (Emily grunts) – And they cut out all the apologizing too. Like, I apologized to Chase. I apologized to somebody. I wanna apologize to your date. – Yeah, apologize to the date. – Oh, I’ll tell him. He’ll love it. – Yeah, yeah, yeah. – I wanna apologize to everybody who stayed late on a Friday night. – I think the best part is that your outfit was even shorter than my short shorts. (Rhett laughs) It’s a win for us all. – [Stevie] Well, so the judges decided that no one won that round. – Ah! – [Stevie] But the good news is (Link chuckles) that that means it’s a tie between Rhett and Link, so you’re both named Taskmaster Headmaster. That’s hard to say. – So we’re gonna give it to Emily. – [Stevie] Well, and– – Oh, no, no. – Take it, Emily. – [Stevie] Oh, great, ’cause there’s only one outfit. – Yeah, there’s only one. – Yeah, give it to Emily. – [Stevie] So that would be best. – Oh, it’s me? – Emily will wear it. – I thought you were gonna put it on both of ’em. – Give it to your date, you know. – Is this, oh, okay. – Take it to him and say, “Hey, sorry about the other night. “I brought you a robe.” – I can’t find the sleeve. (crew laughs) – No, you got it. It’s right there. – [Rhett] Yeah, right, yeah, yeah. – Thank you. – This is not part of the competition. – Like this– – This is just putting on a robe. – Like, this is what this episode has done to our brains. – There’s bread in it! – [Link] She can’t even put on a robe. – Oh, you got some bread? You got some head bread. – The injury lawyer I met on Hinge will really appreciate this. (crew laughs) – All right, that sounds– – Bye. – That sounds promising. – Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell. – You know what time it is. – Hi.
