Today’s episode smells like your favorite. – Let’s talk about that. (cheerful music) Good Mythical Morning. – Do you have a favorite food smell? Well, you should. And, it might be something you don’t even like the taste of, like it might be coffee for you, or gasoline. I think this concept is cool- – Right, I hate the taste of gasoline. – Because nobody can accuse me of being a picky eater today. ‘Cause my nose is doing the eating. – Well, can I accuse you of being a picky smeller, ’cause I might do that. – I will not be picky in my smelling. I will be discerning in my smelling. – Okay, today we’re gonna be smelling a bunch of different foods, and figuring out what you voted as the best in the world. It’s time for “Boy Do I Love the Smell of Insert Personal Favorite Here in the Morning: Top 10 Best Smelling Foods.” (smooth jazz music) – Stevie, wassup, girl? – [Stevie] We posted a poll asking the Mythical Beasts what their favorite food smell was, and 20,000 little beasties weighed in. Your job is to figure out the correct order of the top 10 smells after sniffing each food in the Mythical Smell Cell. We’ve helped you out by putting three food scents on the board already, which is being manned by our lovely research assistant. – Chase? Hey, Chase. – Hey, guys. – Thanks for doing that. I see at number eight we have sauteed onions. – Those, boy. Those are really good. I mean, I’m a savory guy, I woulda thought they’d be even higher. – I didn’t, I’m surprised they’re on the list, but I do love ’em. Bacon. Obvious. It’s a travesty that it’s that low. – That’s what I’m saying, I think we might be dealing with some sweet tooths, or some sweet noses, y’know, because they got cinnamon rolls a full three spots higher than bacon? – Now, cinnamon rolls, they do smell good. What smells better than a cinnamon roll? – [Rhett] Two things, apparently. – [Link] And bacon. – That’s what my research says, yeah. – Okay. – Yeah, your research says there’s seven things that we have to add to this. – What do we win? – [Stevie] If you get at least six out of 10 correct today, we got a delightful personalized scent awaiting you both at the end, but if you lose, you’ll be subject to a big ol’ whiff of steamed intestines. – Oy, whoa. – [Stevie] Now we know you love to overthink the psychology of the voters in these surveys, so just as a general note, when we sent out the survey, we emphasized that people should be thinking about these foods in their optimal, freshest, strongest smelling states. – Okay. (crew laughs) – What’s the strongest smelling state? Florida. – How does this, okay. Oh, oh, oh, gotta cover that up, I gotta save some of that. – That’s so good. I love it so much. – What is this, hot bread? – I just think it’s freshly baked bread. Yeah, hot bread, Link, that’s it. – Mm. – Freshly baked bread. Now, here’s the thing. They do this, y’know the realtors do this, they’ll get these things that make it smell like freshly baked bread just so people will wanna buy a house. I mean, does it get better than bread baking? – Bread bacon is not on my list. – That could be good, I mean- – Are you saying I can’t eat any of it? – I’m just looking to sign a mortgage. – Oh. (crew chuckles) – Nobody was looking, Rhett. Nobody was looking. – Y’all can’t see that. Get a little bite of that back corner. – I don’t want no back, no. – Where can you get just a little piece of bread like that? It’s so cute. – You feeling like slapping it up at number two, and reserving the right to do the switcheroo later? – I mean… – Let’s go to number one. – Would they give us number one or number two first? Maybe they would. Reverse reverse. – Number two. – Number two, that sounds (indistinct). – Now, I don’t know why I’m eating my finger, when I could be eating this dadgum bread. – Dadgum bread. (smooth jazz music) – What is this? Garlic cloves? – Oh, yeah. – Woo! Oh, man. – Man, when you, now first of all- – “Man,” we said together. – When you start sauteing some onions, it’s good, it’s good, it’s real good, you throw in some garlic and it becomes great, right? That is just the one two punch, you should be doing that in most everything. – Now should we be wafting like we learned in chemistry? – No, because you waft in chemistry because you might be smelling something that’s bad. If you’re smelling something that’s good, you get your nose as close to it as you can. Oh, man, that’s so good. – I, it’s higher than onions. – [Rhett] Gotta be. – How could it be higher than bacon? No. Maybe. – I don’t know. – Garlic is more of a smell than a taste. You know what I’m saying? It’s like… – Well not really, but… – No, I think the experience is more aromatic than it is… – It has quite a taste, though. Let’s put it at five, I mean you feel confident? I think actually probably seven is a better guess considering that sauteed onions were down at eight. But it’s definitely better, right? But some people are like “Ew, garlic, ugh.” Y’know? – I think bacon should be higher in this list, but I’m fine with garlic being higher because it has to be that low. Put garlic above bacon for now, is what I’m saying. – When you say above, you mean closer to the top, you mean five. – Yeah, yeah, yeah. – Done. – I’m okay with that, but, oof, I don’t know, man. Bacon number six, I don’t know. I’m very confused, not confident at all at this point. (smooth jazz music) – Here we go. Coffee. – Now that’s actually not what people get excited about. They get excited from the brewing process, like when you smell coffee that’s brewing. – Brewing or grinding? – I would say the whole making process, but if you’ve got a coffee machine that does an automatic grind, and then wakes you up with brewing in the morning, that smell, of initially the hot water hitting the coffee ground, to me, that’s the thing that so many people, even people who don’t like coffee, really, really love. Even as a kid, I hated coffee, but I love the smell of coffee. Does that translate widely? – It was never for me until I started acquiring the taste, so… – I mean, this is a real curveball. It could be- – But people who love coffee, when they smell it, it’s just like, it’s like getting that fix. So I think this is- – I completely agree. – So yes, there are people who don’t like coffee who like the scent. – But it can’t be number one. – And everyone who does love coffee is going to vote hard for the scent. – Okay, yeah. – ‘Cause it represents the fulfillment of an addiction. – This is a great way to think about it, because if you’ve got 20,000 people, and you could assume that 10,000 of them at least like coffee, of these things they’re probably gonna put it at number one. I agree, number one. – Mm-hm. It looks good up there. – Thanks. – Coffee, bread. Yeah. – I would like to order everything off of this menu, please.

Hope you find your way out. – Yeah. – So, Link, now that I see that we’ve got brownies, I realize that we’re also gonna have cookies. And cookies is going to be number one. How could it not be? – Well let’s not get ahead of ourselves. – I’m just saying, we got coffee… Us two idiots, we got coffee and bread up there at one and two. – Hm. Brownies. – I might have to make sure that this is a brownie. (crew chuckles) – Yeah. I think I need to make sure it’s a brownie, too. – That’s a brownie. Oh! Man, you can make so many people happy with this. Y’know? We’re all outta whack, now, man. – [Link] Yeah we are. – I mean, this has gotta be number four. I think cookies, then brownies is one and two. – Where do we put it to make it easiest later? Let’s put it at 10? We’re gonna have to move ’em all anyway. Let’s put it at- – I don’t understand your logic, but sure. I don’t think there’s anyplace to put it to make it easier. – Put it at seven, to leave room for, Rhett’s convinced cookies is gonna be in the next three. A’ight? – How could it not be? (smooth jazz music) – You were right! – What I tell you, Link? – We got some freshly baked cookie cookie. – Oh, man, you know you love it, ’cause you love cookie dough, man, and when cookie dough starts warming up, it just sends itself into your nasals. – It’s like freshly breaked bread, and a brownie together. – Breaked bread. But we do need to make sure it’s a cookie. – [Link] Gotta make sure it’s a cookie. – Do you agree with me that people would prefer cookies over brownies? Not necessarily as a treat in general, but as a smell. – Yes. Number four. Ther- ho. – [Rhett] Yep. – Okay, I’ll… – Yeah. We’ll give you another shot, Chase. We’ll give you another shot. – He’s nervous, don’t look at him. – Okay. – I put this one too high, and it’s kinda tight. It won’t fit. – We’re gonna move it later anyway. – Yeah, yeah, yeah, we’ll figure it out. Just hold it like you’re not holding it. Yeah. There you go. (smooth jazz music) Of course. – Popcorn. – All the things that you can smell, that you can’t think of until you smell ’em. Or until you see ’em. – Ooh, lemme tell you. – Oh, it’s so good! I gotta make sure it’s popcorn. – This makes me wanna buy a movie theater. Yeah? That’s why they put this stuff in movie theaters, so you’ll buy ’em. This is good popcorn. – So you’ll buy the movie theater? – Yeah. – Okay. That’s true. – Mm! Mm. I don’t know, this might be number one. – So good. – [Link] We have really gone wonky. – I don’t even care anymore. I’m having so much fun smelling, and also eating. – Y’know what it makes me want? To smell a brownie again. – Really? – Yeah. ‘Cause you get on that salty and then sweet- – You wanna go brownie, popcorn, popcorn, brownie, popcorn, brownie? – Yeah. Sauteed onion, maybe. – Put it at number nine, Chase. – Oh, gosh, we’re hurting! – Doesn’t matter. We do have a brownie. – No, well actually I don’t know what this is. – Yeah, yeah, yeah. We might need to… – We’re just gonna see if this is… – Right, yeah, it’s still… – Yeah. – Yeah, it’s still a brownie. Okay. Well, what else we got? (smooth jazz music) Oh, I love the smell of metal spring in the morning. (crew chuckles) – No, dude. Smell the waffle cone, dude. – Oh, it’s the waffle cone. – [Link] Why are we taking it out? – It’s the waffle cone. I mean, listen. I don’t know if I would’ve gotten to waffle cone. – This is good. – It smells great, and I guess when you go into an ice cream shop, that is the thing that you’re smelling, ’cause you’re not smelling the ice cream. Ice cream doesn’t smell that much. – It’s great. It’s great. – It’s gotta be number 10, though. I actually feel like we might have that one right. If we end up, if Stevie says we have four right, it’s because waffle cones is right. – I feel that way. But it does smell good, that is a tantalizing, far-reaching smell, that defines a space. – (indistinct) know what you’re gonna say and you said “Far.” – All right. – “Far-reaching smell.” – Stevie, break us the bad news, we know we’ve done poorly. – [Stevie] You have five correct. – Okay, so we’re staying with waffle cone. – And sauteed garlic, I mean it’s probably right. Maybe, you think? – Take popcorn down, and…. – Let’s think about one and two, right? – What is right? – You think it’s cookies brownies, or cookies popcorn? Or popcorn cookies? Or popcorn brownie? – I think it’s popcorn cookie. – You think it’s popcorn number one? But people are like- – People love popcorn. – Yeah, but what’s more common, though? – Cookies. (crew chuckles) – Baking cookies is “Oh, are you baking cookies?” Like not “Oh, are you making popcorn?” Like I just don’t feel like it’s that as ubiquitous of a thing. – All right, let’s go cookies, popcorn- – I’ll be disappointed in myself forever if I’m wrong, but I just feel like, the fact that I said cookies would come and they did come and we said it would be number one, I feel like all the stars are aligning. – All right, yeah. Cookies, then popcorn, then cinnamon rolls. – Then brownies, after cinnamon rolls? – Yes. – Okay, see, what we’ve done is we’ve separated the three sweet things and thrown popcorn in there. – I’m good with that. – I am, too, but there is a part of me that wonders if it’s cookies, brownie, cinnamon rolls, then they get into the savory with popcorn. – I think coffee after bacon, and then bread, let’s take a look at that. Yeah. Because once you have bacon right there, I feel good about coffee being below bacon. Now, is garlic too high? And did we leave something? – We had five correct. – We didn’t leave anything where it was, did we? – Just garlic, and cones. – Where was coffee? – Coffee was up here. – So coffee was one, and we know that’s not right. – I’m ready to lock in, I feel good about this. – Aw, man. I’ve lost a lot of confidence now. ‘Cause now I feel like we weren’t right about garlic. – Will that help? – Let’s have a brownie. Well, you gave me your brownie. – I want to help you. – Oh, thanks. ‘Cause now I feel like, I think it’s fine to leave it like we have it, but I do wanna go on the record and say that I think it might be cookies, brownies, cinnamon rolls, then popcorn, and then I think that sauteed garlic may be in nine and bread may supposed to be at five. – Oh, let’s switch bread and garlic. No, ’cause the onions. Let’s leave it, man. – I think more people like the smell of onions than smell of garlic. – Okay, let’s switch ’em. – You could do garlic bread. – Nope. Switch garlic and bread. And is that where bread was? – My research says I don’t remember. – Bread was at two, bread was at two. – Well now we’re in a worse place, because now we don’t have anything like it was. – Yeah we do, we have waffle cones. – And cinnamon rolls and bacon. – No, no, no, there’s two that needed to not move, dude. Now we’ve sacrificed what we had. We only need to get three new ones right, though. – You just wanna leave it? (crew laughs) – Not… – [Rhett] I think we should leave it. – [Link] Yeah, let’s leave it like that. – [Rhett] We’re gonna leave it. – [Stevie] Well… – No, no, don’t leave it, don’t leave it, don’t leave it. We should put brownies second, and put popcorn where we had it. – Which was where? Four? I’m okay with that. – No, you know what? Maybe we had bread right. Maybe bread was number two. – Don’t overthink it. – All right, we’ll leave it. – [Stevie] Well… – Yeah, yeah, make bread number two. Make bread number two, man. And put brownies at four and popcorn at five. No, keep popcorn at four, make brownies five. No, we can’t, that’s it, we have to be done. – I’ve been done. – No matter what, no matter what. – [Stevie] Well… – Oh, come on, Stevie. All right, that’s it, we’re done. – Why’s this waffle cone so good? – [Stevie] You have three correct. (crew laughs) – Idiot! I blame myself. – What is the freaking…? – What is number one? – [Stevie] Okay, I will say, I’m gonna go from the lowest votes to the highest, so from 10 up. You’re gonna have issue with the Mythical Beasts on some of these. ‘Cause starting off at number 10, we have brownies. – Haha, y’all dumb. (Rhett guffaws) (crew laughs) – Yeah, y’all are. – [Stevie] Number nine, waffle cones. – Mm. – [Stevie] Eight is already on the board, sauteed onions. Seven, popcorn. Six, already on the board, bacon. Five, sauteed garlic, which… – We had right. – [Stevie] Which you had. – I told you. – [Stevie] Four, bread. Three, already on the board, cinnamon rolls. Two, cookies. One, coffee. – One was coffee, we had coffee right! – [Stevie] And by a large margin, too. – For all the reasons that we said and then forgot. – Oh, gosh. – All the reasons, all the reasons that we said, dang. – All the reasons that I said, and then you forgot. – No, I agreed with you. I agreed with you that coffee was number one, but then brownies showed up, and then- – We gotta smell something stinky? – And then… – This intestines? – I blame myself. – It looks like mushrooms. Oh my gosh. – I’m not going to confirm that these are intestines, I’m just going to smell them. (Link coughs) Eugh! – Ah!
