Can we guess what these crazy cakes are supposed to be? Let's talk about that. Good Mythical Morning. The art of cake, decorating, has gotten extremely sophisticated. So much so that there's an entire game show dedicated to asking the question, is it cake? You ever wonder how much stuff around here might secretly be cake? No, I haven't. Huh? That wasn't cake. Nothing here is cake, huh? Well, we're in luck, Link. Because one of the world's greatest lifelike cake creators, Jonny Cakes. Mm-hmm. Who was on, uh, Good Mythical Weekend last year, gave us access to his incredible library of cake making videos, and we're putting them to the, into use. Yeah, we are. In the most competitive game that we know. Yes, it's time for Mystery Countdown Theater, What's That Cake Edition? Hi guys, you know the game. Mm-hmm. Be the first to buzz in and correctly guess what the cake is and you win the points. Okay. Um, understood. I will say that, uh, in my nightly call last night with my mother, you know, I call her every, every night. Of course you do. Check in with her and I say, this is what I'm doing tomorrow. And she's like, have you laid your clothes out? And then I, and then I send her what I'm gonna wear and she gives me the thumbs up. As I was telling her what we were gonna be doing today, and she's a big fan of Jonny Cakes, she was like, oh. And then she overnight air shipped me. Yes. My, it's crazy how fast they can ship these days. She shipped me my lucky hat that she got for me. Okay, your head's gotten bigger. My head has grown. Oh, wow, you gonna. My head has grown. I like the fact that it's cutting off the circulation to your hair, I don't know, maybe that's where your smarts are. Ugh. It's so weird because I talked to my mama last night as well, as I do every single night. Uhhuh. Showed her what I was gonna wear. Thumbs up. And she gave me a thumbs up and she said, Jonny Cakes, well, you're gonna have to, and then she overnighted me this cake hat she made for me, which she'll make a hat for me about every month. She made the hat. Yes. And then shipped. And then overnight shipped it. That's more, even more impressive than me getting my hat. Yeah. 'cause see, it's a, it's a, it's a cake. Yeah. I don't think. You can't see. I can't think anymore. Yeah, stay with it. Let's go, let's go, Chase. All right, let's begin. Oh, that's a little one. Mm-hmm. I mean, how. It gets tall. How crazy do these cakes get? As crazy as can be probably. I mean, it's still gonna be shaped like a cake. Something's about to happen. That's. See, once this goes on there, all bets are off. Oh, we're getting low though. What? Oh, I know. Oh gosh, now I know. But you're gonna get one point. Oh, I I, I definitely know too, um. Lingerie cake like a bra. All right, let's let Rhett take a shot at it. 'Cause that was wrong. Oh, that was. Uh, TP man. Toilet paper. Yep. But it's. But there was only. But come on. The only way to know that was at the very end, and I don't think that's because my hat is so tight. I can't even say the word tight. Yeah, that took a while to actually get to the, the fondant part. Oh, we can see it. You can, I mean, look at the, did you see the texture on that? Oh, now he eats it because it's cake. The reason why I said bra, nevermind. Yeah, no, no. Tell us more. No. No. I thought it just had a delicate consistency and I was right. Yeah, with the, the lace part. Yeah, it was. Not the lace part, the imprint part of the TP. The two ply part, you know, a two ply bra is, uh, the best type, really. Oh, yeah. Really holds it where it needs to be. Free fly, if you can. All right. Let's see the next one. One point for that, that's not very much. What? What are you doing? Jumping in. Okay, I believe that is the top bun of a sandwich. And so I'm gonna say that sandwich is a burger. I need more specific. Uh, a cheeseburger. Mm, all right, that didn't count, let's. Ah, crap. Let's keep watching. I'm gonna go for a burger, which more specifically is a Big Mac. God. Link, you got it. Yes. Thank you buddy. You helped me out there. It's the sesame seeds. See the rest? Yeah, oh, and look at, look at the lettuce. Oh, the cheese is not in the middle. It's only coming out of the sides, 'cause you're not actually gonna. Oh, damn. Want cheese? Oh my gosh. That, that was a good looking cake. I feel like you, you should gimme at least two of those points. Is it? Is it savory? What's it taste like? Nah. I have none of those answers, but I can show you the next one. Yes. Okay. Buzz in early and help me understand what I should get the points with. Yeah. Rhett. Do it. Volcano. Incorrect. That doesn't help me too much, but that is a good guess. It looks like a mountain. What is it? What is happening here? Oh, it's an animal. Link. Well. Don't worry, there's, you're not threatened by me. 'cause I don't know what that is either. A beaver. It is not a beaver. Okay. Anyone's game. Oh, with the ears. Kangaroo. Kangaroo. Good job. Kangaroo. I thought it was gonna be like proprietary kangaroo. Oh, did the, look at how the little Joey's coming out now. He don't eat it. No. Is there socks? What was that beside the Joey? Did look like there was some socks. I don't know why. Wonder why there were socks. I would've accepted kangaroo and socks. All right, let's see the next one. Okay. Okay. You didn't catch me. Okay, this one starts with something. A big cake. Oh. Oh. Who got it, Chase. Mine, I went, it lit up first. They're both, they're both lit up. But my, I, my, I, I heard mine first and mine lit up first. Well, it's not for you to say. Right, Chase? I think we're gonna let Rhett go since he's behind. Let him go. Yeah, we'll give him the pity throw here. Stack of pancakes. That is correct. Yes. I, oh, we got it at the same time almost. Oh man. That is wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. And pancakes are cake, right? Yeah. I, yeah, I guess it's a kind of cake, from the pan. That would be. Beautiful. Now that would be. Then you pull it out. For a breakfast person's birthday. I'm just trying to think of the scenarios. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I had a heart cake last year, remember that? I don't want to, it was. It was so realistic and I bit the heart in front of everyone. I, Jonny, I'm not gonna critique you here, but there was something about when that cake slice was removed and the, the, the layers didn't go all the way through. I don't know, I just. You wanted that. I felt really cake duped. Mm-hmm. Is that the point though, to have a sense of disappointment in the fact that it's cake? Because it looks so much like everything else? Is Jonny Cakes creating disappointment? Only if you don't like cake, but if you like cake. That's what it is. I don't like cake. Sorry, Jonny. But you like pancakes. Sorry, Jonny. All right. Let's show the next one. Red velvet. Red velvet situation. Oh, oh. What was that smiley face? It was, it was a sponge. Don't get your hopes. It's got nothing to do with it? Or it had everything to do with it. Hold on, this is gonna be. Rhett. This is going to be Play-Doh. Yep. It's Play-Doh. What? Hold on. It's, no, that's a flower pot. It's a, no, it's actually it's cake, sorry Link. It's a container of Play-Doh like, you know, the yellow, yellow bowl bucket. And the blue top. You see he made the blue top and that was, that's what gave it away. Wow. Now see. The blue top. Tell me you don't like that. I mean, at some, I mean. Let me see the end of that. How is that not. I want, I wanna see the final. The, the, the, the Play-Doh container is a little narrower than I would've expected. Jonny, why are you so critical? You think that that. Because I lost that round. Hold on, you think that that's not to proportion? I don't think it's quite to proportion. When was the last time you Play-Dohed? A lot more recently than you have, I'm sure. That looks incredible, Jonny, I just wanna say that. Jonny, you do a great job, but. I wanna say that, while the official position of this show is split on appreciating you, this side of the show really appreciates you and your art and what you do, and I would much rather eat that cake than play with Play-Doh. I appreciated you really strongly in round two, and then in round three I appreciated you a little less, but I still appreciated you. And then something happened with the next round. Round two, that Big Mac, the, the cross section looked like a Big Mac all the way through and I think that has messed with your brain. Ah. Oh. That's what you wanted. You wanted the cross section. What I'm really saying is. You know. I appreciated you as long as I was winning. That's really all I was trying to say. But I will say, Link is a cross section man. I've never seen somebody so obsessed with cross sections. Thank you. Both presenting them. And he'll look at a cross section. Yep. He'll look at a cross section for a long time. Link Cross, Cross Section Neal is what we used to call him in high school. All right, I gotta catch up. All right. Let's see the next one. Should have been a crossing guard. Oh, come on now. Alright. Very flat and square. Oh, what? What? Oh. Rhett. This is going to be a scale. You, you didn't know that when you buzzed in. Yes, I did. What? I feel like that the pause happened a little late and something else was revealed that I saw and I would've buzzed in for. What? You didn't. What? Hold on. I just want you. As soon as as I saw the window, I buzzed. You buzzed before the window. Which is okay, I mean, I'm saying that that's great that you had a good anticipatory buzz, but you got a little lucky. I'm just saying. You can't wait, listen, you can't wait until your brain knows, you have to know. Yeah. You have to buzz when your soul knows. Yep. And then your brain gets it from your soul. It's on me, you're right. This is how decisions. I'm really upset at myself. This is how decisions are made. I don't know if you stepped on me, but, uh, Rhett, you're correct. I knew he was correct. Let's see it play out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whoa, look at that. I mean, who would've thought? And then he, hopefully he'll step on it. And just put it in, put it on the floor. Hopefully he'll step on it. Oh, look at that. Please step on it. Oh. Yes. Yes he did. Yes. Yes he did. Now that's, you gotta appreciate that. He stepped on it. But now, but now I have to criticize his toes. No, I'm glad he did that. So there's a, there's a little actual plastic in there. Over the window? No, no, that's. Is that edible too? That's a, that's a sugar I think it was. Yeah, sugar glass. What? Sugar glass. Jonny Cakes. Looky there. That is fun, man. I mean, does, does he just do this just for the internet, or does, is he for hire? Because. You, you can't afford him for hire after all this success. Yeah, he, you can, he's also got like products that you can buy. You can make your own cakes. I can't do that. Oh, yeah. I don't care how good the instructions are. He wants to commission Jonny Cakes. All right, ready for the next one? Oh gosh. Come on. I gotta, gotta really do some. I gotta do something. I gotta do something big. You and here you are buzzing in anyway. Well, I'm just looking at the shaping. I think that's a football. It is not a football. Oh, see, hey, here's your opportunity. All right. Whoa. Honeycomb. A big old honey hive. Honey hive. What's it called? A, a beehive. Beehive. Nope. Okay. Anybody's game. See, I thought it was a. You can't do it. No, you can't. It's anybody's game. It's anybody's game? Anybody's game? Okay. Alright, okay. Link. Alright, so this is a, uh, Blue Yeti. This is a. Blue Yeti. Like a cup. No, no. Incorrect. The animal. Oh. Still no, incorrect. It, it's all for you. Uh, this is that, uh, Monsters Inc. It is not Monsters Inc, I think anyone's game again. Um, this is, I don't know what that is, a truck. It's um, it's a. I don't know, a warhead. Like a nuclear warhead. I think, I think those are hairy and blue. Okay, that is incorrect. Okay. All right, now gimme a second. What? Ah. Furby. Furby. Ding ding ding, Rhett, you got it. And it looks amazing. Wow. It was so Furb up to that point too. I hate, I hate furbies and I hate them even more now. Boy. But you'd love to eat that. That's the best Furby I've ever seen though, 'cause I bet you it doesn't talk, jabber, jibber, or wake you up in the middle of the night. Look at that. Look at that. I, but aren't they also known as the Blue Yeti? They're related to Yetis. I've never heard that, but. Half a point. Not gonna put it past you. No. Half a point's not gonna help you at this point. I'm not gonna be able to make a comeback. Yeah, you mathematically you can do it. All right. There's two more. Let's see this last, the second to last one. Yeah, you gotta take some chances though. Okay, sweet. It's pink and round on the bottom. What's something that's pink and round on the bottom? Don't go with pink necessarily though. 'cause sometimes the color at this stage is misleading. Um, uh, I think this is a, a pig that teaches, uh, pole dancing. Nope. See, it looks, oh. Rhett. It's a brain. It is a brain. Yo, yeah, look. And look at. Oh, I love a brain cake. That is, that is. Oh, and it'll be, it's gonna be glossy, be glossy. Don't, don't make it, oh, don't, don't cut it. That's gross. So the people, uh, that's absolutely incredible. The people. Wow. And I, and it's, this is not an ad for them because I can't remember them. The woman who made my heart cake for my birthday. That was bad. Her specialty is making things look completely realistic, and I think she has a brain cake. Her brain cake has gloss on it. It looks like a wet brain like you. If you just saw it in somebody's house, you'd be like, there, somebody left their brain out. What? Well, the heart was. Super realistic. Was wet looking too. Oh yeah, she puts like a gloss on it. And that, that was the, that made it the worst. And it was just a cake with a big, the heart was almost the entire top of the cake. Is it, hearts are big. Okay. I have a big heart. Okay, hold on. And your heart, how is your heart? My heart's great. Okay, then. Okay, well then I, so I don't need to let you win, huh? You don't need to let me win. That's why I was letting you win. So, here's the thing. Link. I'm gonna put a multiplier. I'm gonna put a multiplier on this. So for every point you get this round, it's two points. So if you get 10, uh, you can win. So if you get it at 10, you can win. Okay. And know what, you know what, let's go further than that. If you get it at nine or above, because a lot of times the last round's easy. You know how they do the last round's easy sometimes. Nine or above you win. Okay, alright. I will not buzz in. All right. Unless I know it. All right. All right, let's see it. Oh my gosh. Come on, come on, come on, come on. I'm waiting for it to be as nine as possible. Alright. Okay, well. This would be a tie if you get it. This would be a tie. Alright, so it was a round thing with like a, um. Nipple if you will. A, a, a big cylindrical nipple on top of it. Just say breast. Um. It's a big breast. Yeah. He, he's known for making breasts. I mean, this could be, this could be a brassiere. Mm-hmm. Uh. Could be, I'm gonna need an answer. Um, I think this is the, um, the, the bomb from Mario Brothers. Oh. The, you know, the black bomb with the uh. Yeah. With the, with the wick coming, coming out. Yeah, I know what you're talking about, Link. That is incorrect. Oh, let's see what it is. Alright, no buzz in. Buzz in. Come on, guess. Okay. Play the game. Uh, I think this is Pokemon. This is the, this is a Pokemon, uh, ball. Ball, the ball itself. That's a good guess. Nope. Okay, all right. This is just for pride. What? Oh, this is great. Don't, I buzzed in. Don't, don't. I'm just complimenting him. I know, but you, so you're, you're trying to communicate that you know the answer. Well, I'm just, so, I'm thinking out loud, just like one of my best friends. This is great. I think this is, a plunger. Yes, Link, it's a plunger. And it looks very realistic. The rest of it. Oh wait, look. He made the, he made the entire. Oh wow. Oh yeah. Oh, oh. Stalk. What do you call that? The stick. Oh, that is not what you want to eat. You see the um. It's not something you. The gloss on it. Put your mouth. He really nailed that one. Like you, if I had a birthday party, I would do two things, just a little prank. I would have Jonny Cakes make that cake and set it right next to my toilet. Yeah. And then I would have a plumber come install a little choker on my toilet. So the per, first person who decided to take a dump at my party. A choker. Would accidentally pl, and they would pick up cake to try to plunge it, and then I have a GoPro in there. No, I wouldn't do any of that. I wouldn't do any of that. And, and. I wouldn't do any of that, why would who, who suggested that? Then they're weighing themselves on the scale. Yeah, put the scale in there. They're washing their hands under a cake faucet. Put the brain on the sink. Yeah, do that. With your winnings from today, I want you to funnel all that into this project. Okay. Speaking of winnings, congratulations. Rhett, you did win with 26 points and Link, you had 11. So Rhett's the winner and gets a delicious baked good. Okay. Congratulations sir. Go for it. And Link. Is there anything special about this? It's a baked good. It's special 'cause it's good, it's delicious. And Link, since you lost, you get a baked bad. Oh, okay. So it was burnt. Oh. Oh. It's a poppy seed. Hmm. Yeah, that's bad.
