What if BLT didn't mean B-L-T? LTAT. Good Mythical Morning. What's your favorite acronym? OMG, TBH, I've never really thought about it that much. HBU? Uh, mine is ITFPPPFSNE. What's that stand for? It's Time for Peeker Picker Poker Face, Same Name Edition. Okay, boys under one of those baskets is a beloved BLT, a sandwich with bacon, lettuce, and tomato. The other basket also has A BLT, but the BLT there stands for, uh, something much less desirable in its ingredients we'll say. So in this game, there is a peeker and a picker. The peeker peeks under his basket, and then the picker will read the peeker's face to decide whether or not they want what's in front of them or what's in front of the other guy. And you do not wanna be the one who winds up with the less desirable item because. Don't touch it yet. If you are, you must eat it. So now it is time to fish for letters. This takes me back to the Good Mythical Tour. You know, we, we did this every stop on the Good Mythical Tour. Not this, it wasn't picnic baskets, but it was Peeker Picker, we loved it so much. And now, I thought you were gonna say, this takes me back to whenever we would just. Go picnicking. Picnicking at the park. Have we ever had a, have we ever sat at a table in a park and eaten? Uh. Probably. We sat, we sat at the, at the zoo. And, uh, at the old LA Zoo. Yeah, but we did. At a picnic table. But we didn't. Uh, but we didn't. You are now fishing for letters and whoever gets the earliest letter in the alphabet will be our first picker. I got a P. PU! I got a U. Um. Which. I think is Q-R-S-T-U-V. I win. Yeah. So that means I want to pick. You have the power of choice. Yep. So I peek. You read. Yeah, don't look at me. Look at it. Okay. Okay. Yeah, yeah. All of this seems meaningless at this point, but go ahead, keep doing your thing. All the information I needed, I think I already have. And that was what? It's that when you looked at what was in your picnic basket, you had a pause, you had a moment. A pause. Just that you had a mental pause of trying to figure it out, and then you said to yourself, I think I like that. I shouldn't act like I like it. Oh. Or maybe you said, I don't know what that is. And I'm trying to figure it out so that I know how to act and then I'm gonna act grossed out. Mm. Which means you didn't want it, but then you acted all happy about it. And then I said, you know what? This fool is just being wild. I gotta remember the first reaction. Have you confused yourself yet? Nope. What is in front of you is what was in front of you. Are you locked in? Yes. Reveal what's under your baskets in 3, 2, 1. That's a B-L-T. I love a BLT. What's your BLT? What is that? Bananas and fish. Bananas, lard, and trout. Oh, trout. Yum. Hmm. Elvis would not approve. Well, you know what? I kind of saved you from having to eat tomatoes. Oh. I don't really like. Bananas, trout, and. No. Lard, more than every, all tomatoes. I don't. Hmm. Um, the bananas actually are helping, but now I'm getting to trout territory. Hmm. The lard is really the problem, 'cause now my lips are so greasy. Oh. This is good. Alright. Lemme see if I can get it down though. I think the lards gonna help it. Just slide on down. Good lard. Oh gosh, I just breathed out. I, oh, napkin, here we go. And I punished myself again. Oh. Don't punish me. I, I won that round. One of these baskets has some good old Kentucky Fried Chicken. AKA, KFC. Yes. The other one has a very different sort of KFC. Rhett is the picker this round. That means you're the peeker. A different type of KFC. Could be anything. Could be crab. No. That starts with a C. If, if crab starts with a K, that means it's the fake crab. Fake crab. So fake crab, funions and cortisol. Ooh, yeah, yeah. Steroid cream. If you're not, uh. Cortisol, no. Cortisol is a. Cortisol is just. Cortisone. Cortisol is when you get stressed. Yeah. Yeah. It's just you're not stress, no. I'm pretty stressed. After that greasy first round. I'm getting ready to, um, peek now. A lot of times. Isn't it beautiful? A lot of times people think, I, I've been accused of cheating on this game because Link has glasses on. I cannot see his reflection because he has non-reflective lenses for showbiz purposes. Ha ha. I'm a pro. But I will say if you wanna be absolutely sure, you can go glasses-less. But what, that might confuse you. I'll try it. Oh, whole different person. The person I grew up with. Yeah, that's right. The old, the old Link. I, I didn't. The Link from childhood. I was married for three years before I got glasses. How about, okay, tell me about those years. Yeah, I, Christy married a different person, really all I'm saying. Did it change anything when you could see your wife really well? I was even happier. Uh, so I've known you for longer with glasses than without glasses at this point. Yeah. But, but not much longer. I'm ready. Okay, all right. Okay. I gotta use my one good eye. That's good. Is your right eye better than your left eye? Yep. Yep. I've been saving it. I didn't use it the whole first half of my life. And yes, I'm over halfway done with my life, sadly. Oh, you don't know that. You got good genes. Your grandma's 97, 96. Thank you. What did I learn here? You did have trouble seeing it. You had trouble seeing it. My sight's not that bad. It's just a little fuzzy. Again, it all comes down to that very first thing, like you said, and then everything else is just BS. That's another acronym. You know what that stands for? Um, Bronchial Spasm. That's right. You had a bronchial spasm, it was very deep within you. Another word for cough, I think. I gotta say I didn't necessarily. I didn't sense fear, but I also didn't necessarily sense any elation. I know how much you like real KFC. It's a perfect picnic food 'cause it's better cold or at least totally different. It's just as good. I think I'm going to not lock in there and not lock in here, but I am. I'm gonna lock in right here. Reveal what's under your basket today. I don't know. I don't know what happened. 3, 2, 1. Ooh, no, it was a bowl. It was a bowl. So they really, oh. I was like, you were a little bit, I saw a little bit of like, Hmm, that's not fried chicken. Ah. But I misread it. It I was right and wrong all at the same time. And we were right. It is fake crab. Is it fake crab? Mm-hmm. Hold on. Hold. Ho ho how. Ho, how. How did we know that. When you guys said it, Carney and I were looking at each other, like, ha, they got, they, they, they also got the fake crab. But you didn't get the other stuff. What's the F? Uh, Lucky Charms. That would be the C. Crab filled cereal. Crab filled cereal. That's not something anyone would ever want. Uh, I do like Lucky Charms and the, and the, uh, I will say that the marshmallows can cover a world of hurt. Can they cover a world of crab? Good work. Big bite. We didn't come to this picnic to play. Oh. Oh God, the crab has been in the milk for 24 hours. We, we, we marinated the milk and crab. Has it been outside? No, in the fridge. Why? Why is it room temp? Oh, well, I, I wasn't told in the fridge part. I just kind of assumed, but maybe not. Room temp crab. I can't believe we knew that it was gonna be crab. How's that happen? We are so in sync with our team. I've got a question for you. Have you been watching Last Meals? Have you been watching what we firmly believe, not just because it's made here at Mythical, uh, to be the best interview show on the internet? Oh. When, uh, Mythical Chef Josh sits down with a celebrity and gives them their last meal, not really, but what they think would be their last meal, and asks them some penetrating questions. It's a good time. Uh. It's edifying. Some recent episodes, we've got Elizabeth Olson, we've got Matthew Mercer, we've got Macaulay Culkin. Go over there and check it out if you haven't in a while. Mythical Kitchen Channel on YouTube. Under one of these baskets is a tall glass of H2O, AKA water, and under the other basket is a tall glass of H2O. Okay. Technically. Technically. So the molecular structure of water is two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Okay? Right. So this would be two parts, H and one part O. Oh, you think they went that far? So it could be halibut, but we've already done fish and we've also done crab, so it's probably not that. So it might be, it could just be double hot something starting with an O, and then technically an egg is an ovum. Double hot ovum. Mm-hmm. I don't want that. Some really hot eggs. Link. You are the picker this round. Okay. That means I'm the peeker, huh? Mm-hmm. Do you wanna wear my glasses? Uh, yes. Oh, didn't expect that. Well, I, you know, anytime somebody offers. Well, now I get to cheat by looking at the reflection. These feel like they've been on a asymmetrical head, which may mean that my head is asymmetrical. Both of our ears are asymmetrical. Everyone's ears are asymmetrical. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Oh oh oh oh. I don't like you. Well, no way. You didn't like that? I said, I don't like you as much as I did a minute ago. That was my intention. Let's rewind to the beginning of that reaction. Yeah, 'cause that's really the only thing that matters, isn't it? It was long. It was, it was unflappable, but it was long. So you were definitely thinking. What am I gonna do with this thing? You looked at it. Mm-hmm. You were thinking, thinking, thinking, giving nothing, and then you started to laugh. So you decided. I made no decisions. Maybe it was hard to figure out. I mean, if it was a glass of water, it would have a very quick signal of, I know what that is. Right? So I've seen that before. So trying to figure out if it's a double hot egg is gonna take a little processing power. Uhhuh. And at that point you decided to start laughing. Right. Meaning you wanted me to think you liked it, which means you didn't want it. Mm-hmm. But you could have known immediately that it was water. Mm-hmm, and then acted like you were thinking about it. Mm-hmm. Because you didn't look like you were thinking. Mm-hmm. You just looked like you were kind of waiting. Waiting. I think you were actually thinking, what kind of noise can I make? Have you watched a lot of Matlock? Yeah. Or Colombo? Not the remake though. What I'm saying is, the way you're analyzing what I was thinking feels very Matlock. The water was in front of you and now it's in front of me. Now the water's in front of you again, and now it's in front of me again. And if I shake it hard enough, I might spill it and see it come out. Okay, now that would be, that would be a violation. I'm locked in with Rhett's water in front of me. Reveal what's under your baskets in 3, 2, 1. Yes, yes, yes. It is an egg. Yeah. Well, it's a form of an egg. It is an egg. Oh, because of ovum? No, a double hot ovum. An omelet. Oh. Oh, but you didn't guess what the H is that you have double of. Oh, it's haggis, isn't it? Yeah. Yes. Thank you, Matlock, wherever you are. I mean, what do you want me to do? Just dr, drink it? Drink that omelet, boy. Hey, we've deceived each other. A hundred percent so far. Yeah, we have. So, so you, you, you saw this. No. Yes. And you, you didn't get elated that it was an egg. Did you see what I did? No. Well, yeah, you laughed. Uh, I couldn't tell it was an egg and I didn't want to look like I was trying to figure it out, so I started laughing. Oh God. Okay. Oh. Oh. That looks great. It looks like dog food, so it's ha, it's a haggis omelet. Double haggis. Double haggis, yeah, I was about to say it's pretty thick. The only way to get that omelet to fold up was to put it into a glass. Ah. And for our final round we've got EVOO. So under one of these baskets is some extra virgin olive oil, and under the other is, not. Uh, Rhett, you're the picker. Eucalyptus. What is it? Valium. Eucalyptus, Valium, on Oreos. Oreos. Okay, so we got some. Eucalyptus and Valium on Oreos. We might want that one. I love EVOO. Here I go. Huh? I learned something. I learned so much. I'm learning nothing, now. This is all inconsequential. This is just for entertainment purposes. I learned everything that I need to know in the first 0.7 seconds. And would you like to know what that was, Mr. Neil. Wouldn't you like to like for me to like to know? A moment ago, just a moment ago, when you looked at the, uh, this is my Colombo impersonation. Okay. Just a moment ago when you looked at the, uh, what was under there, what I noticed is that in the very beginning of you looking at it, your eyes darted around it in a way that they would not have darted if it was just EVOO, the kind that we like. Okay. And so you, sir. You saw something that you did not like, you saw something that you did not like, that you did not want to consume, that you wanted your friend to consume. And that is why without hesitation of any kind, I am placing the bad thing in front of you 'cause it was in front of you from the beginning. And I will be enjoying a nutritious dollop of real EVOO, which everybody likes. Reveal what's under your baskets in... No, hold on. Is that a final answer? Uh, yep. 3, 2, 1. Yeah. But your reasoning, I mean. Yes. Your reasoning. Yeah, Colombo never fails. But your reasoning was faulty because they're both, my eyes would've darted back and forth on that. Well, okay. Colombo didn't out Colombo Matlock. Okay. You just got lucky. Okay, but what'd you think about that Colombo impersonation? I mean, it's been years since I watched it. Uh, your eyes weren't going in different directions like your dog. Oh, he had a cross. He had a crossed eye, didn't he? Yeah, he had a, he had a, a wonky. Peter. Falk. Peter Falk. Peter Falk. What is this? Well, let me tell you. Stevie. Mm-hmm. Oats Yes. What, what's the, oh god. Vinegar. Yes. What, what are the letters again? E-V-O-O. I don't know what the e is. An adjective for it. Extra. It's close, yeah. Yeah. Extremely. Extremely vinegary. Extremely vinegary oat, um, oat. Oat what? Orange oatmeal. Orange juice, too. Ah, that doesn't sound too bad. To Peter Faulk. Smell that. Good, that sounds bad. Smells bad. It sounds bad. Now, vinegar is also good for you. Yeah. But I don't, I can't drink all of that 'cause of. Do you want a little oil to make it go down? I guess, yeah, just a little. Thank you. It just sits on top. It didn't make it better. It's not doing anything. Sorry. All right. Dink it. Good detective work. I just love it. It's so good. I put it in my smoothie. Uhoh. I'll have a spoonful if I hadn't had it during the day. Oh my God, the pungency. Hmm. Oh, oh. It helps erase the haggis, which is nice. Oh man. That's nice. I think this is gonna be good for my, uh, biome or something. Right, right. I need a redemptive fact about drinking vinegar. Everything in there, especially when I added the oil, is very good for you. Very good for you. Very good for you. Oh God. Is that the last round? Uh, I hope not. It is. You hope not. Yes. I just started having fun. But we can still hang out in this park together. Okay. Thanks for commenting and sharing this video. You know what time it is. I'm Zoe. And I'm Will.

Make it to the Maldives while you still can. Yeah. That's what I heard. And put that phone away at a certain point. You know what I'm saying? Well, maybe you should keep it out.
