(upbeat music) It’s time for “Snack Blackjack: Six Years, Two Months, and 27 Days Later Edition.” Where’s Stevie? – I don’t know. (screams) – Hey! – Gentlemen. (crew laughs) – You were right there the whole time? – Did I make it? Yeah. – Yeah, you’re completely intact. – You’re here. – Welcome to the Calorie Casino. You’ve been here before, but it looked slightly Not as well built as now. – Yeah, right, yeah. – Yep. – Things have really improved around here. – Yeah. – Yep. Happy anniversary. – We’ve played this once before. – [Rhett] To the day. – For those of you who do not know how it works, it’s like blackjack except for instead of cards, you’re gonna play with food. – Hmm. – And every round I’m gonna give you a calorie count number that you’re trying to hit but you- – 21. – No, not 21. It’s gonna be at random, chosen by the production team. – [Rhett and Link] Okay. – I like that. – You cannot go over that limit every round, but you have to get closest to it. – ‘Cause if you do, you- – Bust. Is that that right? – Yeah, bust. – Bust. (crew laughs) – We were trying to talk through dealing terms. – We’re gonna use all the correct terms. – If you did bust in the past tense, then that is? – Busted – Burst. – [Rhett] Oh. – Okay. The winner (crew laughs) of the game gets to be Count Calorie. And I’m told- – Oh oh oh oh. – There’s a special prize that accompanies this title. So you have to win two outta the three rounds today. Are you ready to play? – Yes! – Hooray! – I’m hungry. – Let’s do it! (Rhett chuckles) (upbeat music) Okay, boys, we’re starting off like I like to start every day, and that’s with breakfast burritos. Rhett- – Good idea. – How do you like to start your day? – That’s my name. Oh, yeah, no. I lean over and I tell my wife how wonderful and beautiful she is. – Let’s play. – And then I realize that she’s still asleep and she didn’t hear me. (crew laughs) – Okay. – So I just tell myself how wonderful I am in the mirror. – I don’t like hearing Rhett talk about his wife and what he does with her ’cause then I feel like then I gotta talk about my wife and- – Yeah, what are you gonna do with your wife? – Well, how do you start your day? – That’s a different- – What are you gonna do with your wife? – That’s a different episode. – What are you gonna do to your wife when you get home? – I’m gonna leave her out of this. – Huh? – Okay, your calorie count is 1,000 calories for this round. – That’s a lot of calories! – That’s a big burrito. – It’s- – That’s a big breakfast. – I mean, it’s, you don’t- – What are you looking for? – We’ll see, we’ll see. Well, I’m about to deal you your first hands. – Okay. – You’re starting with a wheat tortilla. – [Link] Wheat! – [Rhett] Weak! – You’re starting with a flour tortilla. – Weak. – Power is flour! We is wheat. – [Link] Is that more calories? – As we all remember- – [Rhett] Weak. – Six-plus years ago, Link won. – Two months, 27 days. – Yeah. – You can start a streak here today, Link. – Rhett, you’re picking first. – Oh, I love the smell of my wife. (chuckles) (crew laughs) Just looking for any opportunity to say- – My wife! – Wonderful things about her. She doesn’t watch the show. Okay, what do you want me to do? – Pick a food. – Play the game! (Rhett laughs) – Make a burrito! – God! – I would like to start with three servings of puddin’. (group laughs) – Dude. – [Stevie] Okay. – I hope they replenish that puddin’. – Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do I make it? – Please. – Okay. – All right. Can I help you ’cause- – Ah, you know, it does look fun. It does look like fun. – [Rhett] Ooh, what was that? – Nothin’. – Don’t be licking my puddin’ top. – Ooh. – [Link] That’s good. You got the puddin’ dollop. – You like that dollop? You gotta squeeze. You gotta go with a two-handed squeeze, really – [Link] So 1,000 calories. – Yeah, well, I’m building fast. – You’re going three deep with that. – Mm-hmm. – Oh, and it’s already been replenished by the pit boss, Lily. – No one said anything about the- – Whoa, hey! Come on now, hey hey! – All right now. – What am I gonna tell my wife? – Here we go. (crew laughs) – I was gonna make a three deep joke, but it’s fine. – Don’t. – Go ahead. – Oh, now I go? – [Rhett and Stevie] Yeah. – [Stevie] Oh, ew. – Hit me, well, crap. I guess I need to start with some scrambled eggs. – You were going with pudding and- (Rhett laughs) (Stevie laughs) – Yeah, don’t copy- – Talk about your wife and take my pudding. – Don’t copy now. – Those are both my things! – Don’t copy it! – I love some puddin’. I’ma go with a serving of scrambled eggs. – There you go. – And you’ve hit me. – And first of all, doesn’t this just remind you of the times that when things get crazy around here and we just get almost completely burnt out and then the three of us just go to Vegas, and we have such a great time, and then by the end of the night, we find ourselves at a table and Stevie’s the dealer? – Crazy. – [Stevie] Heck yeah! – Crazy. – Yeah, yeah. And I’ve got puddin’ in my tortilla. (chuckles) – Yeah. – Man, it’s just like the good old times. – You don’t wanna go over. – Oh, wait, you want me to play the game? I would like two servings of refried beans! – [Stevie] Whoa. – Dang. Hit me with two servings of guacamole. – [Stevie] Okay. – Oh. – Here we go. – Hit me with a small french fry. – I like fries in my burrito. – It’s called SoCal style, or a San Diego style, really. – Oh, is it? – Yeah, it’s a San Diego thing. – Let’s see. – [Rhett] And I would like to- – [Stevie] Smells good. – Stand. – [Stevie] Okay. – Hit me with some queso. – Ugh. Did you see it? Okay, maybe it was the light. – It’s pretty gelatinous. – Yeah. – Okay, I’ll use this. – [Rhett] And Link, you can go until you think you’re done, man. – Yeah, I know. I have some calories- – ‘Cause I’ve stood over here. – See, guacamole is high calorie. Queso, high calorie. I don’t wanna go over. – You think I’ve gone over. – I think you might have gone over with those fries. – You mean my pudding, beans, and fries burrito might be over? – I’m gonna stand. – Okay. Let’s see how you did. (upbeat music) Okay, Rhett, for your breakfast burrito, you started with a flour tortilla for 200 calories. You then added three vanilla puddings for a total of 300 calories, two servings of refried beans for 200 calories, and one serving of french fries for 270 calories. – Yes! – Bringing your total to 970 calories. – Yes! That’s what I was doing in my brain, y’all! – Whoa. – Whoo! – And Link- – I was actually calculating- – Hand me. – Just over 900, but- – Gosh, I gotta be closer than 30 calories without going over. – I’m gonna tell you you’re not. (chuckles) – Dang. You did stuff in your head? (crew laughs) – Yeah, that was kinda what I was doing. – Okay. – I overshot it a little there- – Mine looks better. – ‘Cause I didn’t, I said this was 150. I didn’t realize that- – All right. Come on, Stevie, do me right. – Link! – You and your extraordinarily long fingers. (Rhett laughs) Good gosh, look at the length of those fingers. – Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. – I mean, look at that. – Oh! – Whoa. – That’s why we make her the dealer in Vegas every time. – For your breakfast burrito, you started with a wheat tortilla- – [Link] I did. – For 150 calories. You added one serving of scrambled eggs for 178, two servings of guacamole for a total of 150, and one serving of queso for 40 calories, bringing your total to 518 calories. – Yeah. – Well, I kinda, I kinda stopped a little short. (group laughs) – Yep! – [Link] Add some bacon in there! – That’s what I was thinking. – Good gracious. – I mean, the round goes to Rhett, but I will say that your burrito does look more enjoyable. – I know. – Okay. Oh, come on. – See, look how long they are. (crew laughs) (upbeat music) – Okay, it’s time to go to the movies! – I could tell! – Yeah! – You each got a- – ‘Cause we got the movie box. – Yeah, your own snack boxes. And this is gonna blow your mind because you thought 1,000 calories was a lot. 2000 calories- – Whoa, settle in! – Is the number here. Now, I’m gonna deal you your first situations. – Okay. – I am sorry, a serving of mayonnaise- – Oh yeah, that’s how I start every movie. – Is what you’ve been given and- – I have my mayonnaise during the trailers. (crew laughs) I call it trailer mayonnaise. (chuckles) – Oh, look what you found. – For you, sir. And you will notice, I mean, it’s hard to notice ’cause it blends, but the calories have been covered. – Okay. – So you cannot access those. – Can you cover the R so it says Spite? – Uh- – Oh! – Yes, we’ll look into that. – That’s cruel. – And are we alternating? Or is it, yeah, we’re alternating. Like, please. – Me first? – Yeah. – Yeah, go for it. – Well, I would love to start with a couple of hard boiled eggs. (crew laughs) Yeah. – Smart strategy, Link. – There they are. – Please hit me and my mayonnaise- – It’s gonna go on top. I’m gonna do a little display box. – I like that, I like that. We’re on the internet, everybody. We’re not actually at a movie theater. I would like three Sprees. Sprites. – Three puddings, now three Sprites? What is it with you and the threes? – You’re not afraid to pee during the movie then. – I am so afraid. – I pee- – It’s my biggest fear. – I eat my popcorn first and then I pee into that. (crew laughs) – I am going to have to grab some nachos and cheese. – [Stevie] Okay. – That’s gonna give me some calories. – [Stevie] Yes. – How many? Well, that’s for me not to know and you to find out. – Please hit me with two hot dogs. – [Stevie] Okay. – You gotta put something underneath that mayonnaise. – And I’m gonna use my trailer mayonnaise from my hot dogs. I do not need any additional condiments. – Trailer mayonnaise. – Okay. – Two hot dogs? Those are packing the calories on, right? The only thing that has just many calories as a hot dog is a Vienna sausage. I’ma take a can of Vienna sausages because I don’t know how long this movie is. It might turn it into the apocalypse. – Ew. There’s juice on the outside. – Yeah, well, I’m gonna put that all over my- – [Stevie] Uh. – Okay. I really like Reese’s mini peanut butter cups. Hand me, please, a couple of servings of those. – [Stevie] Okay. – Hmm. Cookie dough bites, those are fun. – [Stevie] All three of ’em? – No, I’ll take one. – [Stevie] Okay. (laughs) – I just have a couple when the kids aren’t looking. – Please hit me with a 32-ounce Blue Raspberry ICEE. – Ooh, boy. There we go. – Hmm. I gotta get popcorn just because popcorn is the best thing to get at a movie theater. – [Stevie] I agree. – Could you hit me with one packet of relish? I changed my mind. (Stevie chuckles) I- – [Stevie] Okay. – You’re really- – My hot dog- – You’re down to like just a little bit of calories. – And I am going to stand. – [Stevie] Okay. – Oh, that, you think that’s what inched you towards 2,000? – Yeah, uh-huh. – I’ll take a serving of macadamia nuts and two servings of Sour Patch children. Macadamia nuts are expensive, high calorie. – And are you standing there? – You’re done? – I’m standing. – Yeah. – Okay. Let’s see how you did. (upbeat music) Okay. Rhett, your perfect movie theater bonanza snack pack included your first hand, a serving of mayo for 90 calories. – [Rhett] Uh-oh. – [Stevie] You chose three Sprites for a total of 420 calories, two plain hot dogs for a total of 1,040 calories. – [Rhett] Oh. Oh! – [Stevie] Two servings of mini peanut butter cups for a total of 260 calories. – [Rhett] I went too big! – [Link] Too big. – [Stevie] One Blue Raspberry ICEE for a total of 470 calories. – [Rhett] Oh! – A relish packet for a total of 13 calories, which brings your total to 2,293 calories. – Ah, dang it! – Whoa! – Hot dogs were 400 each? – Hot dogs were 520 each. – 500. – Ah, see, I thought these were- – Get out of the theater! – I thought these were 350 each. That was the big, this is my big, my hot dog faux pas. – Shut up! I’m listening to the movie! – And Link, your snack pack, you were dealt a can of Sprite. – As long as I don’t go over. – [Stevie] For 140 calories, two hard-boiled eggs for a total of 154 calories, nachos with cheese for 810 calories. – [Rhett] Whoa. – [Link] Wow. – [Stevie] Vienna sausages, only 100 calories. – [Link] Really? – [Rhett] Oh, it’s low-calorie. Good, it’ healthy. – [Stevie] A serving of cookie dough bites for 200 calories, popcorn, a regular popcorn for 150, a serving of macadamia nuts for 200. – [Rhett] Oh. – And two servings of Sour Patch Kids for 220, which brings your total score to 1,974 calories. – Whoa! – What? That is miraculous! – And gives you the win. – Yes, it does! – Dang, Link! That’s even closer than I did. – Get out of the theater, everybody! I own this joint! – It all comes down to the final round. – Oh, I couldn’t have scripted it any better. (crew laughs) (upbeat music) – It’s time for a barbecue. – Whoo! – It smells good now. – Whoo! – It does smell good. – Yeah, barbecue! – We’re taking things up another notch. 3,000 is what you’re aiming for. – Whoa! – Wow, man, that’s past my daily limit. – And remember, don’t eat these things because they’re gonna look like, you’re gonna want, ’cause like I’m starting you out with this. – Don’t eat ’em, why? – Don’t eat it early? – ‘Cause we need to see your full- – Whoo! You’ve got some ribs, Rhett! – Well, I might just lick a rib. (chuckles) – [Stevie] We’ve got ribs over here. – What do I get? – And you have- – What do I get? – A kielbasa. – I got six ribs right here, y’all. – This kielbasa ain’t looking as good as his ribs. – And I think we’re going back over here to start. – Well, what’s a good accompaniment to some ribs if not corn on the cob! Give me all them ears! – [Stevie] You want three half ears, three servings? – Yes, I would like one and a half ears of corn. (Stevie laughs) – Now, 3,000 calories. If I just ordered what I want, assembled like a nice barbecue spread- – That’s one way to think about it. – I’m gonna, that’s what I’m gonna do. I’m gonna take that pork sandwich. Boy, that looks good. – [Stevie] Yeah. – That sucker is overflowing! – Mmm. – Boy, I would love some breasts right now. – [Stevie] Okay, how many? – [Rhett] Sauced chicken breasts! – How many? – I would like all three. – You keep going… – I would like all three! – [Stevie] Okay. – Mac and cheese, please, one serving. – That’s a big serving. – I know, that’s a big serving. – Okay, I’m just doing some math in my head. It didn’t prove too good last time. Oh, I love beans! It doesn’t mean I’m asking for ’em. I’m just wanted- – I didn’t move. – Just letting you know. – Only when you go like this will I- – Yeah, yeah. (chuckles) – Will I get something. – I would like one cup of beans, one six-ounce cup of beans right there. – Oh, beans. – Grab one from me too. – [Stevie] Okay. – Hit me with the beans. – Oh! Bean boy. – Yep. So it’s back to you, Rhett. – Okay. Oh, man. I just, I’m gun shy because I went so big last time. Oh, you did it! You went so big last time! You idiot, idiot! (laughs) You know, I’m just, that’s what, in Vegas. I’m just doing a flashback when I went so big in Vegas. – Yeah. – Yeah, you did. – It’s a healthy reaction. – And it was like a self pity spiral that I went into. – Yeah. – Idiot, idiot, idiot! – You remember that. – I was doing that. – Oh, no. Link doesn’t care. – I don’t think I was there, but whatever. – Oh, you had gone to bed. Idiot, idiot, idiot! – (laughs) You had gone to bed. – But Stevie- – That bed in Vegas, it’s my favorite part. – Listen. But you know what calm me down? Stevie ran her long fingers- – [Link] Don’t. – Through my hair and I just calmed right down. Don’t you remember that? – Powerful pointers. – Yeah. And then I was like, “Idiot, idiot!” (Rhett and Stevie laugh) – Yeah. Wow, we had a great time. – I mean, I gotta say, I think your fingers are longer than the Rhett’s. – Oh, no way. – Hold on. – [Link] Look at the finger though. – No. – No, no, no. – It’s very close. – No, no, no, no, no. – Very close. – Don’t challenge me into a finger off! – What about yours? – Hey, listen, we’ve really gotten distracted here. (crew laughs) – Yeah. – [Link] Your fingers are longer than mine. – Yeah, they are. – Wow, that’s impressive. – Especially when you, this part right here. – I just, I just tried to wink but I winked with the wrong eye. – That’s the part that- – Well, you got- – That’s where it gets weird. – Okay. – Oh, man. I would, oh gosh. You know what? Just give me half a cup of cottage cheese, gosh! And I’ll stand. – [Link] Stupid! – Here you go. – No drinks up here. All right, hit me with cornbread. And this would be a typical spread for me, which would not be 3,000 calories. So now, I’m building what, I think this is probably like 2,000-ish with both of these meats, so I got a ways to go. Oh god! Give me the serving in the tri-tip. – Okay. – Don’t leave that up there. That’s got to come down here in my belly. – Hmm. – I love a good tri-tip. Daggum, man. What the… Give me one corn and hit me with one chicken breast. – [Stevie] Okay. – Yeah, chicken breast isn’t that much calories even though it’s got the sauce on it. And now, should I get the broccoli or the rocket popsicle? I’m gonna go with the broccoli. If that puts me over, that would be very sad. – The big X factor on your plate is how much, how many calories that sandwich is. – Are you standing? – I’m standing. – It’s kinda hard to know. – All right, let’s see how you did. (upbeat music) Rhett, you went to the barbecue! – Yes, I did. – You put together a platter! You were served baby back ribs for 338 calories, and you chose three servings of corn for 183 calories, three servings of breasts for 555 calories. – [Rhett] Oh, gosh. – [Stevie] One serving of baked beans for 194 calories, and one serving of cottage cheese for 110 calories. – Idiot, idiot, idiot! (Stevie laughs) – Bringing your total to 1,380 calories. – This, oh, the ribs were how much? – The ribs were 338 calories. – And how much was it for chicken breast? – The chicken breast, the three of them were 555 calories. – Oh, I thought each one was like 400. – Yeah. – Bones don’t got calories. – All I can hope for is that you went over, and I don’t think you did. – I don’t think I did, idiot. (crew laughs) I just thought that’s what you were calling yourself now. – Link! You put together your own barbecue platter over here. – [Link] Mine looks good. – You were served some kielbasa for 550 calories, a pulled pork sandwich for 1,365 calories. – Yes! That’s what I was hoping for! – Oh, no. – Whoo! – [Stevie] Mac and cheese for 379 calories, baked beans for 194 calories, cornbread for 130 calories, tri-tip for 330 calories. – [Rhett] Oh! – [Stevie] Corn on the cob for 61 calories, a braest for 185 calories. – [Link] No! – And steamed broccoli for 57 calories. (Rhett laughs) Bringing your total to 3,251. – Whoo, idiot! – What, it’s idiot? – Above. – Idiot! – Idiot, idiot! – And Rhett is named Count Calorie. (bell dings) – Yes! – Idiot! – Yes, bring it to me! Bring me my cape! – Idiot! – I kinda still feel like an idiot- – Idiot, idiot! – But I’m the lesser idiot. Y’all ready to go to Vegas? – Yeah. – Idiot, idiot! Is that how you do it? – Yeah, that’s how you do it. – Idiot, idiot! – No, you gotta get Stevie to calm you down. (Rhett and Stevie laugh) – It’s okay. You can both, (Rhett laughs) you can both be idiots. – Okay, we’ll both be idiots today. All right, it looks like the crew’s gonna be eating good, y’all! Look at all this food. Y’all gotta take it down! – It’s lunchtime, y’all.
