We’ll say it again. – [Rhett] Therapy is important, and in an ideal world, it would be way more accessible, – [Link] Which is why we’re excited about BetterHelps’ mission. – [Link] They’re actually doing the work to make therapy more accessible. – [Rhett] Yeah, finding a therapist can be hard, – [Rhett] especially when you’re limited to the options in your area. – [Rhett] And the great thing about BetterHelp is it removes some of those barriers. – [Link] BetterHelp makes finding the right therapist easier because it’s online, – [Link] it’s remote, and by filling out a few quick questions, – [Link] BetterHelp can match you to a professional therapist in as little as a few days. – [Rhett] And the other great thing about BetterHelp is that – [Rhett] you don’t need to stress if your first therapist isn’t the right match for you. – [Rhett] Sometimes they can take a little bit of trial and error – [Rhett] before you find the right match for yourself. – [Link] Luckily, with BetterHelp, you can easily switch to a new therapist – [Link] at no additional cost without stressing about insurance – [Link] or who’s in your network or anything like that. – [Link] And you can keep doing it until you find that great match. – [Rhett] You can always benefit from talking to somebody and getting things off your chest. – [Rhett] So, to try it out for yourself and get 10% off your first month, – [Rhett] click the link in the description or go to Betterhelp.com/goodmythicalmorning – [Link] And thanks again to BetterHelp for sponsoring this portion of today’s episode. – [Rhett] Now, you know, all kinds of deliciousness can come in a can. – [Link] And now we’re going to figure out when those cans came to be via shuffleboard. – [Link] It’s time for – [Link] Stuff & Shuff: Canned Food Edition – [Rhett] Welcome to the Stuff & Shuff Zone – [Stevie] Gentlemen, today, you’ll be guessing when popular canned food brands – [Stevie] first debuted their products by shuffling your pucks – [Stevie] to the correct decade on the Mythical shuffleboard, – [Stevie] the winner will get to open a can of worms about the loser – [Stevie] and Good Mythical More, and Link, – [Stevie] you’ll be shuffling first, since you won last time. – [Link] I did not remember that. – [Stevie] So you can go ahead and reveal your first food. – [Link] Oh! That was nice. – [Stevie] And you’ll be guessing about the specific food, not the brand. – [Link] Beef ravioli, but not the Chef Boyardee. – [Stevie] Well, no, Chef Boyardee. – [Rhett] When was beef ravioli invented? – [Rhett] No, it’s when did Chef Boyardee release beef ravioli – [Link] So the opposite of what I thought she said? – [Rhett] No, she says, what Stevie meant was, this isn’t when Chef Boyardee was born – [Rhett] or when his product was made, it’s when he came up with – [Rhett] and started selling beef ravioli specifically. – [Link] Okay. I should have been listening to you. You know what I was thinking? – [Link] The way that I like to eat beef ravioli, from Chef Boyardee – [Link] you can separate the bottom from the top of a ravioli – [Link] and expose the meat patch. See that meat patch? – [Rhett] Why do you mess with your food in such weird ways? – [Link] And I usually don’t do it with my hands, but just to show you, that’s what I do. – [Link] And then I eat the flat pasta piece, just slurp that up. – [Rhett] Do you talk to your therapist about this? – [Link] Oh, gosh, we got to use the same pole. – [Rhett] Yeah, you’ve got to use it first. – [Link] I’m going to clean my hands up. – [Rhett] Give this man a wet wipe. Oh, my goodness. – [Link] Okey dokey. So, which one? – [Link] Yep, here’s me right here. Canned Link sauce. – [Link] Well, let me think about my answer. Ravioli. – [Rhett] Understanding the question, not important. ((Laughing)) – [Rhett] Ravioli. – [Link] I’ve got you, man. When did Chef Boyardee start making ravioli. – [Rhett] In the southern tip of the boot of Italy. In what century? – [Link] Chef Boyardee is an American brand. – [Rhett] Safe bet. – [Link] So I think we’re in the, I’m thinking 1950, – [Link] because that’s when the Italian food craze happened in America. – [Rhett] I remember it like it was yesterday. – [Link] Everybody wanted to bring it home. 1950. – [Link] We got a fast board today. – [Rhett] Whoa, nicely placed. – [Link] And so a gentle nudge is all you need. – [Rhett] I’m going to be dealing with canned Rhett soup. – [Link] Did you even know there was a meat patch in there? Had you ever opened it, and looked? – [Rhett] Here’s the thing about ravioli. I sort of, I kind of understand the concept of ravioli. – [Rhett] It’s sort of like when I look at a mailbox that has its flag up, – [Rhett] I know things about what’s inside that mailbox and it’s probably mail. – [Link] Okay. – [Rhett] Curiosity doesn’t often get the best of me, – [Rhett] so I have to open it up and see the meat mail. – [Rhett] I mean, the meat patch, I mean the mail. – [Rhett] Chef Boyardee. Was he a boy? Was he a boy, chef? – [Link] All of these were once boys. – [Rhett] Was he a boy chef who they eventually realized was also a Dee? – [Rhett] I think 1950 is a good guess. My actual guess is 1960, – [Rhett] but I’m going to try to reverse bump you towards the tip of the spear. – [Rhett] And hopefully it’s not 1940. – [Link] He’s going for the reverse pop. And this is legal. – [Rhett] Okay, I didn’t do anything. – [Link] We are both within the field of play. – [Rhett] The only way I can win is if it’s 1940 and there’s no way that’s true. – [Stevie] The Chef Boyardee company was established and began distributing – [Stevie] the first ever ready to heat spaghetti kit all the way back in 1928. – [Stevie] However, their famous canned ravioli did not debut – [Stevie] until almost 20 years later in 1947. – [Rhett] Oh! Lucky duck. I’m a lucky duck. – [Link] But hold on. 1947 is closer to 1950 than it is to 1940. – [Rhett] Come on, Boyardee. Come on, now. That ain’t how it work. Don’t be a Dee boy. ((Music)) – [Rhett] I’ve been told we got to be really gentle with this one. – [Link] Oh, yeah? Okay. – [Rhett] Mad Dog was like, just be gentle with it. – [Link] This is like Operation. Easy Cheese, cheddar. Good gosh. – [Rhett] Lucas, why I got to be so gentle with that? ((Laughing)) – [Rhett] I noticed how you’re not eating any because you’re a little bit – [Rhett] grossed out by this. So, okay, hold on. Hold on. – [Link] But is an excellent source of calcium. – [Link] Who would eat this to get their calcium? – [Rhett] Me. – [Link] What’s it taste like? – [Rhett] It’s better with a cracker. – [Rhett] It’s a little strong when it’s just concentrated like that. – [Link] It is very pungent. – [Rhett] Boy, I spent a lot of nights, – [Rhett] a lot of nights in my life in a dark corner of the kitchen. – [Rhett] Facing away from everyone. Just a stack of Ritz, – [Rhett] and one of these things, man. Dang. – [Rhett] I came up with some of my best ideas, while cheese whizzing. – [Stevie] Why don’t you name a few? – [Rhett] Well, they’ve all been lost to the dirt. – [Rhett] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. – [Rhett] Now, I remember it in the eighties, because I was eating it in the eighties. – [Rhett] Eighties is not a choice. They probably came out with it in the seventies. – [Rhett] This feels like something that was happening, – [Rhett] like during a period of high inflation. – [Link] You want your cheese affordable? – [Link] That’s a gentle push. Woo, you have nailed it. – [Rhett] I don’t know if it’s a good answer, but it’s where I was trying to go. – [Link] It does feel like a seventies or sixties type – [Rhett] Yeah. People dancing, people on roller skates. – [Link] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, And, you know, just wanting to make things easier. – [Rhett] It is about convenience, Link. – [Link] So I’m going to bump you off of 70. I want to get closer to 1960 and 70. – [Link] I’m going to nudge you into 1930 – [Link] and then I’m going to be closer to 60 and 70. – [Link] Yes, I love it. Now, you may be closer to 60, – [Link] but hopefully the answer’s 1970 – [Rhett] I’m closer to 60. – [Stevie] Easy Cheese was not the first of its kind on the market, – [Stevie] but the instant cheese for instant parties – [Stevie] or instant Rhett in the corner of the kitchen, – [Stevie] quickly gained popularity after its debut. It was actually known as – [Stevie] Snack Mate until 1984, but it has been the beloved Easy Cheese – [Stevie] ever since the Nabisco Classic first hit the shelves in 1965. – [Rhett] Yeah! – [Link] Dang it! Gosh! – [Rhett] Dang it, yeah. – [Link] Man, luck be a lady, and I hate her. – [Rhett] Just so you understand, I’m closer to this part here – [Rhett] so just so there’s no cheating going on, I don’t think we have to measure. ((Music)) – [Rhett] Lucas said don’t be gentle with this. – [Link] Spam. Spam. – [Rhett] Well, look at that Spam, holding up that that Spam can. – [Link] Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam. Eat all the Spam – [Link] because it’s so good for you. – [Rhett] I love how they gave me like essentially a cleaver – [Rhett] as if we couldn’t get through the Spam. – [Rhett] Let me see if I can get through it in one big blow. – [Link] Oh, nope. – [Rhett] That’s some hardy spam. – [Link] I’m just going to take a little. – [Rhett] Here’s your slice. – [Link] Thank you. Wow. It needs to be part of a dish. Lando got a, – [Link] he’s obsessed with rice. He got a rice cooker that like, and he was like, – [Link] I’m getting a Japanese rice cooker. – [Rhett] Oh, he’s going through his rice phase. His rice phase like every adolescent. – [Link] And it says Neuro Fuzzy on it. That’s the name of the rice cooker, Neuro Fuzzy. – [Link] And then he’s making stuff like “wasubi?” “Wasubi?” Trevor? – [Trevor] Spam musubi. – [Link] Yep, he’s making that. So this is now in our home. – [Rhett] He’s making Spam with his friend, Subi? – [Link] Hey, hey, hey, wait a second. – [Link] Stevie, you happen to notice our outfits today? – [Stevie] Yes. You look very cute. And I like the pleats, Rhett – [Rhett] Oh, thank you. I was hoping you’d notice – [Link] Anything else? – [Stevie] You also are wearing reverse colors on both of your outfits, Link? – [Rhett] And what’s a way that you could refer to that? – [Rhett] You can say that our outfits are what verb? – [Rhett] That’s a number. A number between 68 and 70 that our outfits are doing right now. – [Stevie] Your outfits are 69ing. – [Link] Yeah! – [Rhett] We didn’t have to force your hand at all. – [Rhett] Link, you’re not doing well. You look great, though. – [Link] Thank you. You’re not funny anymore. ((Laughing)) – [Rhett] This isn’t funny anymore? – [Link] I’m just trying to hit you where it counts. – [Rhett] Spam is old, man. Spam’s so old, it comes from either 1910 or 1930. – [Rhett] 1930, right around a depression. – [Rhett] So I’m going to try to land in between 1930 and 1910 – [Rhett] and see what you do with that. – [Rhett] Or just right on 1900, which is not intended, – [Rhett] but it creates a decision matrix for you. – [Rhett] And I love how much, I know how much you love The Matrix. – [Link] I do agree that it’s old because it’s just like, – [Link] it’s just a bunch of smooshed, but it’s the brand, right? – [Rhett] No, smooshed meat is, when was the first time that someone smooshed meat? – [Rhett] Okay. So this I mean, this could be anywhere between 1890 and 1990. – [Rhett] So there was 100 year period – [Rhett] where somebody had the idea to smoosh meat, – [Rhett] and that’s what you’re trying to figure out. Okay? – [Link] All right. I’m going to do a bank shot, sending you to the 1960 corner – [Link] of already been answered. – [Rhett] Okay. The corner of already been answered. – [Link] I’m not really great at pool. – [Rhett] Good thing this isn’t pool – [Link] I know where I’m going. – [Rhett] You could miss me altogether. – [Link] Not going to happen. ((Laughing)) – [Rhett] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. – [Link] Okay. Mulligan, perhaps? I’ll give you a mulligan. – [Rhett] I think, do I still have a mulligan like that’s out? That’s just standing out there, you know? – [Rhett] Okay, you get a mulligan. But I don’t believe the mulligan can be a bump. – [Link] It’s a mulligan, I do the same thing, man. It’s going to be so satisfying. – [Rhett] Okay, log a mulligan for me. – [Link] Yes, that was nice. – [Link] See how satisfying that was? – [Rhett] You probably sealed the deal there. – [Stevie] Spam was originally intended to serve as a means to increase sales – [Stevie] of pork shoulder, a cut that did not sell well in this time period. – [Stevie] Towards the end of the Great Depression, – [Stevie] it filled a huge need for inexpensive meat with a long shelf life, – [Stevie] and then went on to be a primary food source throughout World War Two, – [Stevie] the salty block of pink meat first debuted in 1937. – [Link] Yes. I needed to do it. And I did it. And I’m still in this. – [Rhett] Okay. I still have a mulligan, though. ((Music)) – [Link] Oh, Lucas, you stinker. This is tomato soup. This is a classic. – [Link] You always season your soup with a can? – [Rhett] Yeah. I got that aluminum taste. – [Link] You know what? – [Link] Yes. I don’t like tomatoes. Yes, I do like tomato soup. Do I know why? – [Link] I don’t know. It’s different. I mean, it’s a totally different thing. – [Link] It doesn’t taste like a tomato. Think like raw tomatoes. – [Rhett] Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Get off his back. Get off his back. – [Link] This has like sodium and stuff in it. – [Rhett] Yeah, you can’t put salt on your raw tomatoes. – [Link] Garlic oil. It’s hot ketchup. – [Rhett] It’s also very, very old. So old, in fact, my friend, – [Rhett] that I think it slips into an entirely different century. 1890. – [Link] Now it’s hard to just stick it there. – [Link] So now all I need to do is get closer to 1890, than you. – [Link] And then I’ve got all the answers. – [Rhett] That’s right. It’s really a window of opportunity for you right here. ((Laughing)) – [Link] What about that, mulligan? I am so, – [Link] the self-loathing when something, this happens every time. – [Rhett] Yeah, yeah, yeah. – [Link] And I get really mad. – [Rhett] So what do you want to do? Because if you take a mulligan, you’re giving me two mulligans. – [Link] No, I want to take your mulligan. – [Rhett] Oh, no, no, no, no, no. – [Rhett] Every mulligan you get, you give to me. – [Link] Just make it quick. Pull off the Band-Aid. – [Stevie] Campbell’s Tomato Soup became iconic in 1962 – [Stevie] as the subject of Andy Warhol’s paintings, but the soup’s history – [Stevie] predates them by several decades, – [Stevie] the company was established all the way back in 1869, – [Stevie] but the memorable tomato soup was first introduced in 1897. ((Laughing)) – [Link] He’s going Vincent Price on my ass. – [Rhett] Oh, yeah! ((Music)) – [Link] Here you go. There it is. And we have pineapples. – [Rhett] Man, these were so fun. – [Link] They are fun. – [Rhett] I mean, how do they get them so perfect every time? Look at that. – [Link] Machines, man. Machine learning. – [Rhett] It’s good because it’s been in that can, gotten soft. – [Rhett] I might have to take that to my kitchen corner. – [Link] All right. Don’t overthink it, man. You know? – [Link] Give me a chance. Give me something. – [Rhett] I’m going to give you a little history lesson. It might be wrong. – [Rhett] If I recall, one of the reasons that we made Hawaii a state – [Rhett] was because of, like, the pineapples. And it’s a bad history. – [Rhett] Lots of people were done wrong. Exploited. – [Rhett] But the Dole Corporation, like, owned a bunch of the islands, – [Rhett] and we made it a state in, like, the late forties, I think? – [Rhett] Maybe? So, maybe we’ve already done the forties, – [Rhett] so maybe they started canning this stuff in the fifties. I don’t know. – [Rhett] It could be older than that, but I’m going to say 1950. – [Link] There it is. Impeccable aim, my friend. – [Rhett] Okay, so you can still win even though you’re down 3 to 1. – [Rhett] And remember the rule is in order to win, – [Rhett] you have to bounce off the back and then land perfectly – [Rhett] in the correct thing that you correctly guessed. – [Rhett] You can’t be touching the side. You have to be completely, is that circumscribed? – [Link] Yeah. You have to be completely contained within the black border. – [Rhett] Not circumcised, circumscribed. – [Rhett] I get those mixed up all the time. – [Link] I’m going for 1930 for the same reasons that you said. – [Link] Entire islands with nothing but pineapple growth – [Link] because it’s not 40. What? Oh 30’s taken? – [Rhett] I looked at the camera and said “should I say something?” – [Link] I know. I saw you do that. – [Rhett] 30’s taken, Link. – [Link] Okay. Thank you. – [Rhett] So really, if I were you – [Link] Fine, I’m going for 50. – [Rhett] You can’t. – [Link] Huh? – [Rhett] You can’t, because you have to bounce off the back – [Rhett] and land completely in 50 without hitting me. – [Link] Okay. Well, I’m going for 40. ((Laughing)) – [Link] Tell me what? Well, then I don’t have a chance. – [Rhett] 40’s taken as well. Can I tell you what you should do? – [Link] I’m gonna go for 1910. – [Rhett] Yeah. 1910 is actually not a bad guess – [Rhett] and you can actually pull it off and win this thing. – [Rhett] You just bounce a little bit and then it lands perfectly in there – [Rhett] and if it’s the right answer, you win the whole thing. – [Link] I was thinking all of that. – [Link] 1910. – [Rhett] Oh, too hard, friend. – [Link] Too hard, too hard, too hard, too hard, too hard. – [Link] The board today. The board today. – [Stevie] At the beginning of this decade, pineapples were still – [Stevie] a relatively unknown food in the U.S. – [Stevie] This prompted founder James Dole and other growers to initiate – [Stevie] a pineapple awareness campaign in magazines – [Stevie] that is now regarded as one of the first nationwide ad campaigns in the country. – [Stevie] Word got out and products started to fly. – [Stevie] The company is still seeing success today. 120 years later, – [Stevie] meaning Dole Pineapples debuted in 1903. – [Rhett] You could have done it. – [Rhett] No, well, actually, it had to be 1900. Yeah. ((Laughing)) – [Rhett] Yeah. Sorry, you would’ve lost anyway. – [Link] Okay, Rhett gets to open a can of worms about me – [Link] in Good Mythical More. And you know what? – [Link] I’m going to bounce back and it’s going to be the best More ever. – [Rhett] That’s right. – [Rhett] Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell. – [Link] You know what time it is. – [Austin] I’m Austin. – [Lily] And I’m Lily, and this is Ghosty Boy – [Austin] And we’re from Michigan – [Lily] and it’s time to spin the Wheel of Mythicality. – [Link] You know how when you’re young and in love, – [Link] you make up stupid names for stupid things? – [Rhett] You mean Michigan?
