GMM Marathon: 100 Years of GMM (Shuffleboard Marathon)

Today we’re shuffling through the archives of GMM. – Let’s talk about that. (upbeat music) Good Mythical Marathon. – It’s the last time we’re gonna see that intro. – Well, unless you ever watch, do you ever watch the show on the internet? – Yeah, I do occasionally. – Well, then you’ll probably see it again. – Just to get a little, just to get a little boost, you know, about how great things used to be. – Well, then, so you can watch it anytime you want. – All right, we don’t have new episodes this week, that’s true. But we wanted to slide ya a little something, something. – Yeah, summer has come to a close, but we can still go to that happy place in our minds. And my happy place, I’m on a cruise ship, I’m holding a fruity drink. I’m shuffling pucks down the shuffleboard, beating all of the senior citizens that dare challenge me. Suck it, Grandpa! What about you? – Well, my happy place is never saying suck it grandpa. – What? – I just don’t want to- – What do you think I’m trying to apply? – I don’t want to ever say that. – Okay, well, what if we can make both our happy places a reality? – So you mean commentating an extra long episode- – Extra long. – where we pick six shuffleboard episodes to share with you? – Yes, today we are starting at the very beginning- I’m so happy. – of shuffleboard. – Yeah, first ever shuffleboard game. 100 years of food taste test. We kept it really general. – Yeah, we didn’t know if we were gonna do it again. – Turns out we did do it again. – A few times. – And we’re still doing a lot. – At least six. – This first one aired on February 16th, 2018. (air swooshes) (fire crackling) – Time to taste the past. – Let’s talk about that. (upbeat music) (chicken exhaling) “Good Mythical Morning.” – Mythical beasts, today keep those eyes peeled like the Oscar nominated director of “Get Out” because you’re not gonna wanna miss even a nanosecond of today’s episode. We’ll be screaming and thrashing while learning tantrum yoga. Yes, that is the thing. And we’ll be exploring some of the weirdest subscription boxes in the world. – But first, did you know that your parents, and even your parents’ parents ate food? – Huh. – It’s true. But what did they eat and when did they eat it? It’s time for. ♪ Let’s do the time warp with food ♪ – Mythical waiter Chase is gonna be presenting us with dishes that per various food blogs and websites like foodnetwork.com and Thrillist were the most popular American dishes of those certain decades. – Right. – We’re gonna taste the dish and then we are going to guess what decade it was the most popular by indicating that on the mythical shuffleboard. – And of course in every round, whoever is closest to the correct decade wins. And you can knock the other man’s plate around if you want, if you’re going second, so there’s some strategy. Now, at the end of this, the person who loses has to eat what we think will be the most popular dish of the 2090s, cockroaches. Let’s shuffle. (electricity crackling) – [Narrator] Round one. – Finally, our meal. – Hot plate. – Uh-huh. – Hot plate. – Right off the bat, we got some- – The waiter touched me on the shoulder. – Me too. – Nice touch. – [Link] It appears that we have some classic meatloaf and- – Bacon wrapped. – [Link] some spinach. – Oh, that’s good. I mean, I don’t need to eat this and know what it is, but I’m just a little hungry. – Whenever it started being popular, it stayed popular with me ever since. Okay. – All right. Now Rhett, we’re gonna take our plates over here so as to shuffle them. (graphic swooshes) Okay, Rhett, you are taller, so why don’t you go first? – Well, you also get the advantage by going second, but it’s okay, we’ll change it up next time. – Yeah. – Now meat like this, it definitely feels like this is either the ’40s or anytime after, because before that Second World War, we didn’t eat a lot of meat. But then we, Second World War. This just feels like a ’40s thing. I’m going with ’40s. – He’s going with ’40s. Oh, right on the ’40s. (Rhett exclaims) – Now- – Nice. – Good news is you hit what you aimed for, the bad news is- – I’m wrong? – This classic dish is classic because it’s been around since the turn of the century, Rhett. I’m talking 1900s. – Oh (laughing) is that the 1900s back there off of the board? – What the crap? Man, my side’s too lubed up. (chuckles) – Did you lube his side? – No. – Okay. – All right, so what’s the answer, Stevie? Dang it. – [Stevie] So that was liver loaf with a side of buttered spinach. – Liver loaf? – [Stevie] It was popular in the 1940s. – Hey. – Are you serious? – You gotta gimme extra points for getting it right and nailing it right in the- – But you hate liver and you didn’t even know it was liver. (electricity crackling) – [Narrator] Round two. – I thought I’d be better at this than darts, but there’s still hope. Now, I’m gonna calibrate. – Not a lot of hope. – What do we have here? I’m a little gun shy to say it’s a Sloppy Joe after the liver mistake last time. – It’s a not that sloppy, Sloppy Joe. In fact, it’s a Sloppy Joe you can just pick up. – Fries. Sloppy Joe, very good. Let’s take it over. (graphic swooshes) – Okay, so you can go second this time. I mean, I can go second this time. – Yep. Okay, now, Sloppy Joe, ingredients that have been around forever, but in that particular format, the sloppiness is what I’m talking about. – When did the sloppy start? That’s the question. – I’m torn between the ’70s or even as recent as the ’80s. You know, that stuff started plopping outta cans. – Yeah, yep. – And then it got really popular. – Make your choice. (Link sighs) – Well, ’70s is way back there and I’m, I’m liable to overshoot. So I think the ’80s are speaking to me. Oh, well, maybe it is ’70s. – You know what? I think it is ’70s. This was popular in the ’80s, but it just feels like it was. This is the most popular thing of the ’70s. I mean, of the decade. It’s gotta be the ’70s, ’80s was you surped with something else. So I’m going ’70s. ’80s, I hope it’s ’80s. – Dang it. So we both did the opposite of what we wanted. What is it, Stevie? – [Stevie] So it is a Sloppy Joe, but it was the most popular dish in the ’80s. (Rhett laughing) – Dang it. Seriously. – I just can’t help but win. I mean- – Where are there darts? – It’s just- – I want the darts so I can throw ’em at this guy. – It’s in my blood. I’m sorry. (electricity crackling) – [Narrator] Round three. – I’m sorry man. I was, I really, I was going for the ’70s. – Yeah, I know. – Bon appetite. – Oh. – What is this, man? – [Rhett] I think they call this chipped ham. – Over toast with white gravy and garden peas? Whenever it was popular, it didn’t continue. Now, I like garden peas. Garden peas are my favorite green thing to eat. My favorite green thing not to eat it is just trees. – Not bad. – I don’t know what this is, but. – Doesn’t feel very modern. – Must be old. (graphic swooshes) Okay, Rhett, you’re up. – Yep. Okay, so the logic on this one for me is that this is a time of lean, you know, where you had to chip the meat off. It was literally chipped ham. – Rationing it out. – That could be the ’30s because the ’30s were such a tough time. But this could also be the ’10s or the 1900s. I feel like if I aim for 1900s and try to get a little bit in there, and maybe get close to the ’30s, I’ll position myself well. So I’m just kind of going for the back of the board. – [Link] You’re hedging. – [Rhett] Okay, all right, hit the 1900s. – I just can’t tell if this is meager rations. If it is, then yeah, this is like ’30s. – [Rhett] Now, you left your spoon on there, but it’s too late to take it off now. – Nope, I’m gonna use that spoon to my advantage. – As a little extra weight. – You know what I’m gonna do? – You gonna try to dislodge me? – I’m gonna try to knock you off the board entirely and then land up in the ’30s. – Well, knowing me, you’ll just push me into the right zone. So go for it. – Knowing you. (Rhett chuckles) – [Link] Oh. (Rhett laughing) – Well, we got peas everywhere and- – Sorry. – if I’m not mistaken, my plate’s in exactly the same place. – What the hex? I’ve been hexed, that’s what. – Okay, what’s the correct answer? – I don’t even want to know. – [Stevie] Okay, so this is creamed chip beef, chipped beef. – Chipped beef. – Chipped beef, chipped beef. – And it was (Stevie Chuckles) the most popular dish from the 1930s. – Ah, yes. – I was right, but it doesn’t matter. (electricity crackling) – Round four. – I’m not hungry anymore. – You’re not enjoying yourself? – Oh my goodness. – Well, has your appetite changed now after you’ve seen this? – [Link] That’s half of a Jell-O bunt. – Yeah, but it’s savory. – It smell, yeah, it smells. – It’s almost sour. – Spicy, ugh. – [Rhett] It’s like a salad of some kind and then there’s red pepper in there. – What, what? – Oh man, it’s like vinegar Jell-O. – It didn’t survive the decade. – It’s not horrible. – Except that it is horrible. (crew laughing) – Okay. (graphic swooshes) – [Link] Okay. – [Rhett] So I get to go second. – How could this be the most popular dish of- – Anytime. – Anytime on any taste bud? (Rhett exhales) Oh gosh. I can’t win at this point. It’s three to zero. – Well- – So. – Yeah, hold on, you know what? I could be the gentleman and I could say each of these last two rounds is worth two points a piece. If you win both of them, you come back and crush me four to three. – I will graciously accept. – Okay, all right. – Okay, what decade did people have stupid tastes? (crew laughing) Ah, man. – [Rhett] Spicy Jell-O. – I can’t, I know we hit ’80s, ’30s, and then I think, I can’t even remember the other thing you got right. ’40s or the 1900s, I can’t remember. – I like it that way. – They didn’t have- – You not remembering. – I’m thinking that this is the ’40s and I’m hoping that that hasn’t already been a correct answer. – Okay. – I missed. – I love that you are so bad with numbers that you did not remember that we’ve hit the ’30s and the ’40s already. And so that means that we’re really playing this left side of the board. I don’t know. I’m gonna, once again, I’m going to aim for the 1900s. I’m gonna try to land between the 1910s and the 1900s. – He went off. (Rhett groans) So I think I win this round no matter what. But what is- – Oh, it’s all about who’s closer to the correct decade. But let’s find out what it is. – [Stevie] So, believe it or not, the name of this dish is perfection salad. And it was popular at the turn of the century. – 1900s. – Oh, okay. – [Link] That’s pretty close. – [Rhett] You might be closer. – Well, you went off the board. – I know, I’m still on the board. Look at the overhead shot, I’m still on the board. But I think he might be closer. We need a measuring tape to determine this round. – [Link] Okay, Chase from the edge of the plate to the edge of the 1900s box who’s closer? – All right. (drum roll) Rhett’s closer by half an inch. (Rhett laughing) Whoa, yeah. I mean, I’m sorry, man. You’re, next time. – I’m sorry, man. Ha ha. – Next time we’ll give you a couple of chances. (electricity crackling) – [Narrator] Round five. – You know what? I’m drying my eyes. I’m turning over a new leaf. My self-worth is not defined by my ability to play shuffleboard. – That’s true, Link. – And so I’m just in this for the fun of it. – Yeah, you look like you’re having- – I like cockroaches. – a great time. – I’m gonna eat one. Now, this is- – You like fondue? – [Link] That is what this is, isn’t it? – [Rhett] Oh, you were gonna eat- – I thought it was clam chowder for a second. But then I saw that there were apples and cheese. Hmm, look at that. – Hmm. – And I’m, what is this like a martini? – [Rhett] It is a martini, not just like one. – All right, cheesy fondue. There’s gonna be some danger in shuffling this. – I gotta put this glass in the cup? – Leave it. – Okay. (graphic swooshes) – Now, there is an added element of danger here because there is a lit candle in here. This is a- – Yeah, fire. – [Link] hazard. – [Rhett] Also, this thing’s a little top heavy. – [Link] Yeah, very heavy. – Okay, so I go first this time. But I mean, you really can’t win. I could say this last round’s worth six points, but that just seems like pity at this point. – That would be okay though. (crew laughing) What if I nail it the correct answer on the board, then I get six points, and you just have to eat the cockroach with me. – Well, so, oh, you’re still gonna eat the cockroaches? – Yeah, I’ll eat it. – So I still win, but I’m eating a conciliatory cockroach? – Yes. – If you land on the right decade, okay. – Yes. – I’m gonna pick the ’70s for this one, because ’70s feels like the wild time where you were willing to say that dipping other foods into cheese was your favorite meal. – And- – You know. – very trendy thing the ’80s had taken. – Yeah, I mean, this isn’t a ’90s thing, right? I mean, it could be the ’90s, but I feel confident about the ’70s, but I don’t feel confident about this lit bowl that is about to be propelled down the board. – Oh. – Oh, I’m in. I’m in the ’70s. – You are touching ’70s. Now, do I agree with you that it’s the ’70s- – And lemme tell ya. If I’m right, here’s the thing. Here’s the thing. You can use my bowl to stop your plate and land on the ’70s, ensuring that you’re on the ’70s. Like you can’t overshoot the ’70s because I got this thing in the sand over there. Or you could go balls to the wall and go ’90s. – You know what? In the ’90s at the FLL dance, you know where me and Sarah John went? We went- – To The Melting Pot. – To The Melting Pot fondue place. – Yes. – And it, boy, it was a popular time to do that. – Yep. (crew laughing) It’s the ’90s. Oh, too much. (Rhett sighs) – Dang it. – Well- – All right, what’s the right answer? – Maybe fondue was popular in the ’30s. We don’t know. – [Stevie] Okay, so cheese fondue and a martini was most popular in the ’70s. (Link groans) (crew laughing) – Sorry, man. – All right, bring those cockroaches over. I will gladly eat them ’cause I’m a man of the future. This is not a cockroach. This is a cockroach planet. It’s huge. – You know, I’d love to enjoy one of those with you, but I just can’t because I won every round. (Link groans) – You know what? – Yeah. – I’m leaving you in the past and I’m gladly headed to the future. (crew laughing) – You could have just faked that, that went in and just started chewing. But I saw that it- – It got hung. It got hung on the. Up. (crew laughing) It landed in there. – Hey, bring it on down, son. – I like cockroaches better than a martini, so I’m just gonna throw it in my mouth. – Gosh. How does it feel to be in the (Link retching) in the 2090s? – It’s soft in the middle. – Is that where the gag came from when the softness came out? – Yeah. (Rhett chuckles) (Link retching) – You know what, Link? If I, you know what? I could get you some shuffleboard lessons. I, you know what? I could probably give you some- (Link retching) anytime that you want, any pointers, or any tips, I’m very happy to offer ’em. – You’re such a kind friend and such a great person to be around all the time. (air swooshes) (fire crackling) Oh, this marathon’s in full swing. – Are you clapping for me because I won? – I’m clapping for you. You’ve made it through the first of six shuffleboard episodes. – It was a strong start for me. – We were shuffling the actual food. – Yeah. – And yeah, you won every round. It was. Why did we keep doing it if you won every round? – Well, we actually learned that. I mean, actually, I don’t know how many times. I think we did it again. I don’t know how many times we shuffled the actual food, but right from the beginning we demonstrated that you, especially, shuffling food is not a great idea. – I think we should go back to it. I liked it. I like the chaos. – I like shuffling fake food that Art has made to look like real food. – Yeah, I mean, that is cool. That is cool. And then we can sign it and give it to society members- – Yeah, exactly. – which we do every single time. – But we did decide to keep doing this and eventually we started getting more specific. Because if you’re gonna keep doing stuff, you gotta get more specific. – So we- – You can’t just do food every time. – Yeah, so now let’s show you cereal, which is not the next one, but it’s the next one we’re gonna show you from August 10th, 2020. Still had punishments. I’m particularly fond of this punishment. (air swooshes) (fire crackling) Today’s episode is part of a complete breakfast. – Let’s talk about that. (upbeat music) (fire crackling) “Good Mythical Morning.” – I love cereal. You know this. I would go so far as to say cereal is my love language. Cheerio, Honey Nut. You want to Cap’n Crunch my Lucky Charms with your alphabets until I corn pop. – Please don’t ruin cereal for me or for anybody else. – Sorry. – We’ve been enjoying cereal some more than others, apparently, for roughly 40 years. But, how well do we know when these cereals were invented? It’s time for year eye with 2 straight guys, cereal edition. Welcome to the shuffle zone. – In each round we’re gonna be given a cereal. Yes. We’re gonna taste it. And then we are going to indicate what decade we think that the cereal was created in by shuffle, shuffle, shuffling. – Yes. And whoever is closest to the actual year wins the round. The loser of the game will have to pour cereal down their pants. (Rhett exclaims) (pleasant music) – A classic, Cheerios. – Cheerios without the honey nut. – It definitely tastes like something’s missing. – This is for babies, man. (crew laughing) – Yeah. I have to assume that Cheerios came before the honey nut version. – Where you going? What are you trying to do? You stepping- (Rhett and Link grumbling) You wanna fight? – What you want to do? – I wanna go first. – I wanna shuffle. – I wanna go first because last time I won, which means- – Well, go. – I get the disadvantage- – Go. – by going first. Because if you wanna- – Just go first. – knock me over there, you can. – Just do it. – Gets intense up in here- – Do it, man. – Doesn’t it? It gets intense should we take shuffleboard seriously. Okay. – That’s right. – Now, I gotta think about when this happened. If you were to ask me, “Rhett, what’s the oldest cereal?” – What’s the oldest cereal? – I’d be like, I don’t know, Cheerios. – Cheerios. – You know what I’m saying? – 1900 is the oldest. – Mm, I don’t know. Something about 1920 is like not all the way to 1900, which is our oldest decade. Is that how you use the term? 1920 is a little bit closer. – All right, let’s see the speed that the shuffle’s on today. – 1920, here we go. – [Link] Oh, he’s done it. I, oh, nope. – [Rhett] I gotta say, I feel like I hit something on the board. – It’s like you, is there a little cherry? – I hit a little something right there. I mean, I’m not gonna. – Okay, okay. – Call the judges. – Let’s see. So you right in between 1900 and 1920. I gotta just knock you away from that zone. – Oh, come on, man. Why you gonna knock me out? – Because Rhett, that’s the game. – Okay. – I gotta knock you into that back right corner because I wanna be where you are, man. All right, well, let’s see about that. (Link exhales) – Whoa, look at that Cheerio is going everywhere. – Okay, well. – [Link] And I did not land where I wanted. – I don’t know exactly what you accomplished, but we’re gonna find out. – [Stevie] Before they were called Cheerios, they were known as Cheery Oats. – Okay. – [Stevie] And Cherry Oats were introduced in 1941. – Oh. – Oh, that’s you. You’re- – I’m close. – You’re very close. And I think maybe some of my Cheerios are in the square. Stevie, does it count if I got Cheerios in the square? – [Stevie] It does not. – Dang it. (pleasant music) Okay, we determined this to be the best cereal ever. – Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Hmm, so much sugar. – It’s so much better than plain Cheerios, man. – I’m gonna sit here and I’m gonna eat this whole bowl before we start playing. – And you will start playing because you just took the lead, sucker. – Hmm. – Man, it’s so good. – All right, good. Okay. – I may finish the bowl, warning. – No, when was Cinnamon Toast invented? Because that wasn’t around forever. I think that happened in like 1950. – Okay. – Sprinkle a little cinnamon. Because when was cinnamon invented? – I think like 1890 cinnamon was invented. – Cinnamon Toast Crunch definitely has a ’80s vibe in my brain. – Okay, so you’re going for 80? – Could be ’70. – Is that what you’re saying? – 1970. Yeah, I’m gonna go for ’80, man. Nice and easy. – That’s too aggressively. – I, Chase, I told you not to put so much dirt on the board. – Man, that was too aggressive. So- – Right from the- – Right from the beginning. Right from the beginning. So much- – It was too much. – fidelity to this. – You know what, Link? I like the way you think. I don’t like the way you slide your whistle. What is this? – I mean, you have run of the board. If you lose this round- – Then I’m just a sucker. – But pride should dictate that you should try to be accurate. – Hold on, but listen, you’re not that far from 1960. We know it’s not 1940 or 1990. Basically, I need to be on this side of you. I think that it’s 1970 because this never really works. But the logic I usually apply to this game is, if I remember it from a decade, it must have come from before that decade. So I think 1970 is good, but- – [Link] Can you hit 1970? – No, because it might be 1960 and then you’d win. So 1960 is what I’m going for. – [Link] See, you went real aggressive too. I like that. – [Rhett] Oh, man. – All right, see? I told you. – Yeah, yeah. – It’s a fast board today. – It’s a fast board today. Fast board. – So it looks like, I just Googled this and the term cinnamon sugar as in cinnamon sugar toast was first coined in like 1890, (Rhett exclaims) but Cinnamon Toast Crunch was introduced in 1984. – Oh man, I’m a little bit closer. – I was write in my brain. You were right on the board. (pleasant music) – We’ve got a podcast, it’s called “Ear Biscuits.” We don’t just record the audio, we record the video. There’s a YouTube channel and it’s available wherever you get your audio podcast. Check it out. – It gets real. – Corn Flakes. – Corn Flakes. These are really not my favorite. – When’s the last time you had ’em? I had ’em at like a hotel. – I’ll tell you the one thing I haven’t done is I haven’t had ’em right after eating Cinnamon Toast Crunch. – I think I’ve only had these at a hotel. Like, when you go down to the Motel 6. – Little continental. – And they’re out of everything except Corn Flakes. And you get one of those little boxes of it. I kinda like it. – The crunch is nice. The taste, what’d you call it? Corny. – It’s better than Cheerios. – All right, you’re up first. – Okay, Link, I know a thing or two about cornflakes. – Hmm, seems old. – I’m saying this and this is totally historical and scientific. Mr. Kellogg invented Corn Flakes to stop people from masturbating. – No comment. – It’s true. Too many people were doing it. And he was like, I think Corn Flakes will make them stop masturbating. – I took the tack of not talking in hopes that you would just move on. And it seems like that was the wrong strategy. – When was it frowned upon to the point that they thought they had to make cereal make it go away? And when would they have thought that was even possible? It’s either the 1900s or the 1920s. So I’m gonna land on 1900 and hope for the best. – [Link] Gentle stroke. – [Rhett] Okay. – You made a good correction there with the speed of the board today. You know what? I’m gonna go around you, but only slightly because I think the answer is 1900, but it also keeps 1920 in play from me. – I’m gonna eat as many of these as I can. – Oh yeah, your wife’s out of town. (crew laughing) Okay, how do I do this? I gotta, I can’t get too excited. I’ve gotta just relax. – Just relax. (crew laughing) (Link groans) – I get so frustrated. – Hey, hey, hey. – I need to have some sort of release. – I got some that will make you release. It’s called Corn Flakes. (Link groans) Let me punch the corn flakes. (Link groans) I feel better now. – Wow, maybe that’s how they stopped masturbation. – Okay. – Whew. – [Stevie] Corn Flakes was the first cereal to feature a prize inside the box shortly after they were first introduced to the public in 1906. – Ah, 1906, I’m very close to that. You almost didn’t get past the line. – The board is just screwing with it. (Rhett laughing) (pleasant music) Again, we’re gonna be talking about how there’s not enough sugar in this one. Rice Krispies. – But these have a much more fun texture. – And sound. I mean, the marketing on this is great. – I like Rice Krispies, man. – I definitely like this over the Corn Flakes if I’m giving up the sugar. – There’s more sugar than you realize. Four grams, I don’t know what that means. (crew laughing) Okay, again, when you’re playing this game, the first question you gotta ask yourself is when was rice invented? Well before any of these dates. When was the idea of crispy invented though? Crispy is pretty recent. Things were soggy for many years. These have sort of a, I think they got a 1950 feel. – [Link] Oh yeah? – Snap, crackle, pop, man. 1950s. – [Link] Snap, crackle, and stock hop. See that seems like it’s gonna be short. Is that where you wanted it? You said 1950s? – I said 1950. Right on the top of the pyramid. – All right, I think this was before 1950. I can see in my mind vintage ads for Snap, Crackle and Pop. So I think this is 1920 ’cause 1900’s been taken. I’m in the same position I was last time. I don’t wanna bonk you. – How about you just land right around here, or around this line. – Shut up. (Rhett laughing) All right, so I’m gonna go to 19, the corner of 1970, so I can split the difference between ’30 and ’20. – All right, do your worst. – Already done that. I’m gonna do better now. (crew laughing) I’m gonna bank off the back and then I’m gonna land right in the middle of the board. Come on, not quite. – 1920, 1920. – [Link] Okay, shoot. That wasn’t- – The cereal kept the momentum going that way, so it didn’t get as clean of a bounce. – It was an educated, I’m getting a little better. – [Stevie] Okay, so Rice Krispies are cooked with a steam method that creates air pockets inside. So when cold milk hits the cereal, the kernels break causing them to crackle and pop. And they’ve been crackling and popping since they were first introduced in 1928. (Rhett groans) – Yes, the snap crackling pop gods have smiled upon me. (sighs) We’re tied. (pleasant music) Okay, it all comes down to this, Cap’n Crunch. – Yeah, it does. This is never, I didn’t go to this too often. – It’s a dangerous cereal to eat. I mean, the Cap’n wasn’t lying about a crunch. – It can really mess up the roof of your mouth. – [Rhett] Okay. – Got a good taste to it though. – We’re tied again. – You can go first, but I won last time, so I think I have to. (laughing) – Got you. But it doesn’t matter really because I can’t. – I wanna beat you fair and square. – The gentleman’s agreement is you can’t hit another guy’s bowl in the final round. – Ah, well, I’m gonna use that in my advantage. Thanks for reminding me. Let’s see. The Cap’n probably came along in the ’70s. In the ’70s they just loved talking about captains. I think that’s when Captain Morgan came about. Cap’n Crunch, Captain Kangaroo. – Captain Hook. – Captain & Tennille. – Captain Phillips. – Captain Underpants. – There’s quite a few captains and they’re not all from the ’70s as we just demonstrated. – I’m gonna try to go for the middle of the board, just to play it safe. My answer is 1970. – Middle of the board, huh? – Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. No, whammies, okay. – All right, well, so you’re on 1960, which I actually think that 60 is. – If I played this game for like three more hours, I might be able to put the puck where I want it. – Well, you know what? What are you doing this afternoon? We could open up your schedule. – I don’t want you to be here for me doing that. – Oh okay. I’m definitely in the ’60s and ’70s. – Well, you have an opportunity- – Here’s the thing. – to take ’70s from me. – You’re on the ’60s right now, and if you’re right, well, you win. – Yeah. – But if I get on the ’60s as well, I cover your answer. And then we would, in that event, we would tie. – We’ve never had a tie. What happens then? What is the sudden death? – I think you do closest to the black bumper in the back without hitting it. Okay, so I think 1960 is a great answer. Might be 1970, I’m trying to go on this side of you. – Go for 1960. – But I cannot hit you. If I hit you, I disqualify myself. – So you’re going for 1960, but I’m not gonna hit you. – But you’re not gonna hit me. – And which could set up a sudden death if we’re both right. He’s, oh, that’s way too hard. (Rhett groans) – [Link] You touched me. – [Stevie] That was, you didn’t mean to. We’re good. Did you know that due to the number of stripes on the Cap’n’s uniform, he’s actually a commander? – Oh. – Cap’n Crunch, or should I say Commander Crunch was first introduced in 1963. (exclaims) – I have done it. (bell dings) – Okay. – Rhett, you gotta put the crunch down. – I gotta put the Cap’n in my pants. Let me unbuckle. – You gotta put the Cap’n on your commander or the commander on your Cap’n. Okay, I don’t like that you undid your belt. That makes it stranger. Leave it there for the rest of the day. – Let me zip back up. Okay, all right. I’ll- – You unzipped? – I had to, man. I got, when you wanna get the Cap’n in your pants, you gotta unzip. – Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell. – You know what time it is. (air swooshes) (fire crackling) You can win. (both laughing) You proved it. – You can put cereal down your pants. – And this would’ve been a bad one for you to lose. I mean- – and the box. – It’s your thing. Listen, I have dealt with an exceptional level of chasing. – Is that what it’s called? – Chafing. – Chasting. Oh. – Since 2020. Because- – I thought you were referring to what things that chase would do to you. – If you’re gonna put cereal down your pants, You don’t want it to be the like roughest cereal. – Yeah, you don’t want it to be the- – Cap’n Crunch is real rough. – Have you seen that meme of no Cap’n Crunch and it’s like a Photoshop. It’s like a. – It’s just a meme, there’s not Cap’n Crunch there? It’s a- – I’ve seen a lot of those. – a Photoshopped Cap’n Crunch, but it’s, I don’t know. It’s a Gen Z kid. – Yeah, so I wouldn’t get it? – So you wouldn’t. No cap, have you heard. – Oh, no cap. – No cap. – In crunch. – And he has like the hairdo that they all have. There it is. Bussin’ on God, fr fr. Fr, fr. See, look at his hair. – [Rhett] I don’t think he’s say fr, fr. – And he’s wearing a wetsuit. – Is it for real, for real? – For some reason. I don’t- – For real, for real. – [Link] See his hair? – [Rhett] Yeah, it looks like Trevor’s. – [Link] But his mustache is still the same. He’s got a hand tattoo. – Okay, you wanna move on? Now, that I’ve been educated? – Yeah, tee it up. – We also tasted chips a hundred years of ’em. And this is from October 26th, 2020. – Right before Halloween. (air swooshes) (fire crackling) When we were making videos that nobody was watching. We had a Sunchips joke. What’s the deal with Sunchips? I mean, they’re not hot. (Rhett laughing) Remember that? – Yeah, this is still a good joke. (upbeat music) “Good Mythical Morning.” – Colorado and Washington State, today is your last day to register online.

I was just thinking about the chips. – Well, you better start thinking about that factory air. – Why? – I don’t know. It just kind of makes me feel weird. Well, have you ever eaten a chip and thought about when it was invented? – No. – But that sounds like fun, doesn’t it? – Yeah. – It’s time for the shuffleboard game, chips edition. Welcome to the shuffleboard game. – Zone. – Yeah, each round we’re gonna reach into the old fry basket over here and pull out a bag of chips that were invented in a certain decade. We’re gonna taste them and then we’re gonna guess which decade we think the chips came from by shuffling our answer down to that particular decade, or as I like to call it decade. – Ah yeah, decade. And whoever lands to the closest decade wins the round. The winner at the end gets his own bag of, listen to this everybody, foldy chips, and also gets to explain why that is so special. Let’s shuffle y’all. (pleasant music) – Let’s reach our hands into the deep fryer. – No. (both screaming) – You ever wonder what I look like without a beard? Don’t Google it. – That is freaky in a different way. Gimme a barbecue chip. – I do have a chin. – Okay, so we have barbecue flavor. Not barbecue sauce flavored. I never really thought about that. – Is there a difference? – Flavored like a. No, I know that’s what they mean. But they need to clarify. – You think too much, man. – That’s right. – Okay, now listen. You’ve won the last who in a row of this game. I mean, you’re on the verge- – How many? – Two in a row. You’re on the verge of just owning this game. Three in a row means you own the game. – I’m not listening to you. – That means you own the game. It also means you go first. So I have a slight advantage. – I know this is part of your strategy to psych me out. – No, no, I’m just saying. – I didn’t hear anything you just said. – If you win three in a row you could say, “I own this game.” – Put the bag back over your face. Beardless Rhett, be quiet. Barbecue chips seem like a more classic. – More classic, what does that mean for you? – Than like a newfangled creation? Definitely around in the ’80s. I feel like it’s 1970, but I don’t feel like any could be earlier than that. Something about flavored chips seems like a modern invention. All right, I’m going 1950. – Okay, outta nowhere you went with a decade you haven’t mentioned yet. – I’m splitting the difference. 1950. (Link exhales) – Ooh, that’s. – Too hard, too hard. – [Rhett] Oh, oh, no. – Yes. – It got a little stop there. Okay, hmm. – I think the new board, something about it, my accuracy has gone up. – What I was thinking was, these had to be around in the ’70s because I remember them in the ’80s, which means they probably came before that. But like once you get like earlier than ’60s, man. – I know, they’re not flavoring chips back in the ’20s. – Did they even use the term barbecue back then? I don’t know. I think it’s ’60s. But what’s a good strategy here? I wanna knock you back into the ’90s and away from any correct answers, and kind of land around ’60s. So that’s what I’m gonna do, but I don’t wanna be too hard. – [Link] Oh, that’s too hard. Oh gosh. That is a masterful bump my friend. – Okay. – Shoot. – [Stevie] Okay, before Lay’s came out with sour cream and onion chips in the ’70s, the only flavor available in the US, other than their original salted chip was Lay’s barbecue flavored chips, which were invented in 1958. (Rhett cheering) – Oh man. – I got it. I got it. – Got me with the bump. – It worked. – [Stevie] Okay, and here’s a photo of what they looked like. I kind of like that retro design. Bring that back Lay’s. – No, I want the smile. (pleasant music) (Link screaming) – It’s hot. – It’s tough to watch. It’s tough to watch. – Whoa, whoa, whoa. – Are you okay? Your hands still work? – I already opened. I can’t feel ’em anymore. – Fritos, man, I love these. I love everything about a Frito. – The original corn chip. Oh yeah. Salty. – You just did that like- – Did you just spit corn chip slice back into the bag? – That’s how I claim all the corn chips. – Yeah, it’s over. – Okay, I gotta go first now ’cause I’ve got a point. – The bump boy gets to go first now. – Okay, Fritos are old school. Everybody knows that. I mean, look how it’s shaped. That’s like something you come up with 100 years ago. – Corn. – Just corn. Fritos, corn. Here’s the problem, though, if I land on 1930, which is what I think it is, I’m a sitting duck, brother. You’re just gonna knock me out of the way. So I’m gonna try to do something potentially overly strategic here. – Okay. – I’m gonna try to get it to land right there, right on the tip. – Stop short of the triangle. (graphic swooshes) Oh, he stopped short of the triangle. – Okay. – No, you didn’t. – That’s basically what I was trying to do ’cause it creates a decision matrix for you, Link. – A decision matrix. Okay, here’s what I see to be my decision matrix. I can bump you into oblivion and stay at the tip of the triangle. – Maybe. – That’s all I’m gonna do. It’s not much of a matrix when there’s only one thing. – Well, if I had stopped where I wanted to right here, – Don’t touch your foot there. – That would’ve been a problem. – I agree that Fritos are a classic. So we’re definitely in that ’20, ’30, ’40. So I gotta come from over here. I think this is the right angle. (Link laughing) What a beautiful bump. – I don’t see how you could not be right. – [Stevie] Frito inventor, Charles Elmer Doolin. – Chaz. – [Stevie] Owned a confectionary in San Antonio, Texas, at the height of the Depression. He decided he wanted to sell a fried corn snack and using his own corn, he created Fritos in 1932. – Oh, yes. – [Stevie] And look at this bag. – [Link] That is a strange bag. – [Rhett] It looks like microwave popcorn. – [Link] Truly crisp with a K and tender. – [Rhett] They’re not tender. Maybe they started off tender. – That is really weird. All right, the bump daddies are doing it. (pleasant music) (Rhett groans) (graphic swooshes) You did it. Oh, look it’s- – Funyuns. – Funyuns, onion flavored rings. – Man, it tastes like an onion ring without an onion. – No, I’ve said on this show, I’d never eaten a Funyun until on this show, like maybe within the last year. Even though I like onions, an onion flavored snack is not something that I was enticed by. – But now you are. Now, you know the truth. – Yeah, ’cause they are good. – You gotta go first ’cause- – I won last time. – We moved back to the last game. – Now, who makes Funyuns? It’s not Lay’s. – No, Frito-Lay. – Frito-Lay, same as the corn chips. I mean, it has the word fun in it. And they really have fun in the ’80s. Are we looking at the ’80s or could these be around in the ’60s? I think by the ’80s they would’ve thought making an onion flavored snack is stupid. So it was established early. – Wow. – And I think that was 1960. Now, this is yours. I’m gonna move it over here. – Don’t crush my rings. – Move mine over here to 1960. Dang, it could be earlier. I’m gonna go for the 1940 side and 1960. – [Rhett] Okay. (graphic swooshes) – [Link] Slow and steady. (Link cheering) Oh, man. – [Rhett] Link, you’re really- – Hey, you gotta give it to my accuracy, man. – You’re on target today. – What do you think about my reasoning? – There’s a part of me that feels like this could have been the ’80s ’cause of the fun part, but we always underestimate how old things are in this game consistently. – Yep. – I’m gonna try to glance off of yours, knock you off of 1960 and move myself closer to 1970, which I feel is the answer, but still be closer to 1960, which could be the answer. There’s three things that I’m trying to do. – So you’re not gonna bump, you’re gonna glance. – No, I’m gonna bump. – [Link] Oh, that’s aggressive. (exclaims) – [Rhett] Oh, okay. – [Link] Well, okay. You’re still closer to ’60, so basically all I did is go for 70, which is what I really thought it was. – Come on, Stevie. – [Stevie] Did you know that Funyuns were originally going to be called OnYums, but that name was already taken by another onion flavored snack. Nevertheless, the first ever Funyuns hit the shelves in 1969. – Oh dang. One year- – ’69. – The point. – All right. – That was the word I was looking for. (pleasant music) (Link groans) Rhett, welcome to the world of Sunchips. They got a matte finish on the bag. Isn’t that inviting? (graphics swoosh) – I never thought about it, matte. – Not too shiny. (graphic swooshes) – Man, after eating all these fun chips, Sunchips don’t have a lot of flavor compared to a Funyun. – No, they don’t. But the cheddar ones are good. – They’re heart healthy. – Why? Because they’re whole grain or something. – ‘Cause it says it on the bag. – Okay, I know back in like when we were making videos that nobody was watching, we had a Sunchips joke. What’s the deal with Sunchips? I mean, they’re not hot. (Rhett laughing) – Remember that? – Yeah, it’s still a good joke. – But we are playing redneck characters. – But we are kinda. – Okay, here’s the deal. We made that video in the ’90s. Were the Sunchips around in the ’80s? I think it’s 1990. And I like that because the bumping and the glancing is curtailed because it’s against the bump board. – And as I demonstrated last round, the bumping and glancing doesn’t always provide an advantage. – So you see something wrong with a little bumping and glancing? – I don’t see nothing wrong with a little bumping and glancing. (graphics swooshing) – [Link] Stop, dang it. That was a little more than I hoped for. But it is officially not touching ’90. – It’s not touching 90. Oh wow, okay. – You think it’s 90? – I think it’s 80. – Well, shuffle. – But here’s the deal, I think it’s the ’80s, but the ’90s is the next best guess. I’m gonna try to land my puck in that four quadra area. – [Link] Very aggressive, whoa. A little short. – So I’m in the ’70s and ’80s. – I love this spot. – [Stevie] Sunchips were originally launched by Frito-Lay in 1991. – [Rhett] Oh, dang it. – [Link] Yeah. – [Stevie] Link, this is crazy. – How are you so good at this? – What do you mean this crazy? – You’ve been studying Wikipedia? – [Stevie] Well, because you’re guessing the decades and landing in them. – Landing near ’em. You know what I think it is? I think I’ve been devoting so much brain power in the old system where the numbers are jumbled that I just give up understanding what’s happening. – [Rhett] Ah. – And now I think I actually know what’s going on. (pleasant music) (Link groans) You got it. – As long as you get through it quickly. – The classic Nacho Cheese Dorito. I wonder if this is the first flavor of Dorito. – I think the first flavor was probably no cheese on it at all, just a corn chip. – Yeah, but that’s not a Dorito. – Or is it? – I have in my mind like classic packaging of a Dorito and I’m gonna associate that with a decade. – Good strategy. – I think I might have to go with the tip of the pyramid strategy again here ’cause it could be 1920. These could really go back. Shoot, man. I think it’s 1940. I’m going for 1940, but I’m going for the back end of it. (graphic swoosh) Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. Oh no, dang it. – Okay. – Okay, I don’t know, man. So before the- – This is a tough one. Before when I was just thinking about Doritos in general, I didn’t think that nacho cheese was the first Dorito, but you seem to know everything about chips. Like you’ve been reading the Wiki on chips. – I have not. – I was thinking ’40, was like ’40 is definitely the answer. And then I’m thinking that’s later. But it can’t be the ’50s or the ’60s because we’ve already done those. And then it’s in the ’70s and that feels too late. So I am almost positive it’s either 1970 or 1940. But here’s the deal, I can’t win. I’m down three to one. – So what is your offer, sir? – Well, tell me your answer. And then if you go for that answer and you hit it right in the middle. – I think it might be 1940, but I’m going for 1970 because I- – Then you gotta bank it. – I don’t think there’s any way I can land inside 1940 without, I mean, this puck is almost too big to fit in there. – If you can bank it and then land on 1970 without touching blackness and you’re correct- – Oh gosh. – you win. And I have not won three in a row. – Is the same thing gonna happen last time when I got so freaking excited and I was wrong? I’m just not even gonna get excited about it. I’m just gonna do, I’m just gonna step up, and just do a job. This is just a job. This is my job. So I have to bank it into 1970 and be right, and I can win? – No blackness. Oh, that’s aggressive. Oh my gosh. (Rhett groans) Ladies and gentlemen- – Dang it. – It seems that I’ve won three in a row. – [Stevie] Well, wait, do you want the answer? – I, yeah, I definitely want the answer. – [Stevie] Okay, the original Doritos were plain flavored and consumers found them too tasteless. After those were released in 1964. – Oh. – Oh, what, really? – [Stevie] Taco seasoned Doritos were introduced in 1968. But the Nacho Cheese Doritos, which we all know and love, came out in 1972. – [Rhett] Dang it, I could have done it. – You could have done it, man. – [Rhett] Too aggressive. (exclaims) Bring me the foldy chips. – [Stevie] You’ll get the foldy chips and more. – Okay, you get ’em and more. Don’t get too anxious. – Don’t gloat. – Okay, okay I’m not gloating, I just love foldy chips. – All right, thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell. – You know what time it is. (air swooshes) (fire crackling) – Oh, you remember that? Remember when we used to start a “Good Mythical Morning” with a cold open? Remember when we tried that? – We did try that for a while. – It seemed like people really responded well to it. – Yeah, you didn’t like it. But- – And so we- – I- – so we changed it. – I was really pushing for it. I remember, I pushed for it for over a year and then we finally did it. And you, everybody crapped all over it. – Hey, you got, sometimes you gotta try things. – Right. – Sometimes you gotta try things a little too hard. Sometimes you gotta try things and keep trying until eventually- – Yep. – we’re all convinced that we shouldn’t have tried it or that no, we gotta stop trying it. – Yep, if it ain’t broke- – It’s fine, that’s life. – Don’t change the cold open. Don’t do it. – But I mean, you were on fire in this episode. See, how does this make you feel? – Third win in a row. – I mean- – Yeah, it- – You’ve actually won almost half of these, you know. We’ve done this 38 times. I’ve won 20, you’ve won 18. I mean, would you have no known- – No. – that, that was that close? – No. – This is maybe not the most competitive, but maybe the second most competitive game on “Good Mythical Morning.” – That put some winds in my sails. – Some winds? – Yeah, multiple winds. – Whoa. – There’s like the dusty wind, and then there’s like the ocean breeze, and then there’s also the breaking wind. – Yep, right. – It’s all billowing my sails right now. I’m feeling good about it. – You were on a streak, three in a row. I tried to psyche you out with that, but it did not work. – What’s the deal with Sunchips? – I mean, they’re not hot. It’s not really that funny. – It’s still a great joke. – No, I think we’re trying too hard on that too. I think we should stop trying on that too. That’s my opinion. Just stop trying on the Sunchips joke. Let’s not do it again. – Well, we kind of did stop. Just to remind them. – And we should probably also stop is it hot in general? – Oh, no. – I mean, I’m just saying. – Don’t do this. – I just think we should stop that. – Don’t do this, Rhett. – I think, I- – How are we gonna know if it’s hot? – Do you think that we should stop is it hot? Is it real hot? – Is it hot? – I mean, I’m just at this point, I’m just- – It feels good to say, like right here. – I’m doing it to humor him. – All right, this next one, not food related, but (exclaims) it’s one of our favorites. – It’s person related and very Davin related. Very Davin-centric episode. – Yeah. – 100 years of superheroes from May 4th, 2021. (air swooshes) (fire crackling) Today we shuffle against crime and the forces of evil. – Let’s talk about that. (upbeat music) “Good Mythical Morning.” – Now, it’s no secret that superheroes have been given a new life in the past couple of decades. – Sorry. – Bro, are you okay? – Sorry, just- – I know you love superheroes. Just calm down a little bit. They’re so, they’re so heroic. Are you excited about the upcoming release of the new “Black Widow” movie? – I- – Is that what’s happening here? – I think so, I, yes I am. – Okay. – I will see it. – Okay, so lots of superheroes are- – Eventually. – now household names. But how long have these household names been in said household? – Yes. – That’s the question. – Exactly. And you know what? Almost a decade ago on this show, you stated that Hawkman was your favorite superhero. Does that still stand all these years later? – Of course, it does. That’s why I keep my original Hawkman cardboard helmet from the trailer that we made. – Yeah. – 10 years ago or so, right here, off camera, constantly. It’s always right here. – Yeah, I know, I know. – I can’t put it on because of the button, but it’s always right here. – Well if so, do you know when Hawkman first dropped? – 1962, man. – 1940. – Oh, I mean, that was just a guess. I didn’t know. – Yeah- I’m not gonna be great at this game. – It’s obvious at this point because it was wrong. – Yeah, that’s why we’re going to play this game, all right. Okay, it’s time for the shuffleboard game, superhero edition. – Welcome to the shuffleboard game zone. – All right, y’all know how this works. In every round, we are gonna have an actual superhero appear right here on our set on this super pedestal. – Yes. – And then we’re gonna have to guess which decade that superhero actually debuted into the world. And then we’re gonna guess by rolling our superhero avatars down to the appropriate decade. – Whoever’s closest to the actual year wins that round. And the overall winner of the game is crowned to become Master Mythical, a brand new superhero who gets a special cape. – Wow. – And the ability to summon mythical items throughout Good Mythical More. – Hmm. – Let’s shuffle. (pleasant music) – Let’s meet our first superhero. (Rhett and Link cheering) – Hi, Mr. McLaughlin. Hey, Mr. Neal. My spidey senses are tingling. (crew laughing) – What’s tingling? – My spider senses. – Okay, as long as that’s all that’s tingling. – Spider-Man’s left foot almost missed the pedestal. Okay, Link, you won last time, so you get to go first. And we were just told a second ago, no one has won this game two times in a row since October of last year. – For the first time. – Exciting. – And check this out. I get the shuffle, the meet. Look at, you got superhero himself down here with the longer hair version. And then you got sidekick here. If you don’t know, these are old school characters of ours. Very pleased to see them return and be catapulted down to Spider-Man’s original decade. (graphic swooshes) You know what? I think it’s 1950. – Okay. – [Link] Okay, sidekick, land right on the 1950. (graphic swooshes) – [Rhett] Whoa, I thought it was going- – What were you laughing at? – It was going so slow and it just kept going. – All right. – Okay. – And I like a little 1930, that’s good. – I was thinking 1960, but because I know that Stan Lee invented Spider-Man, right? It’s gotta be ’50s or ’60s. So I’m trying to slip by sidekick, not hit him, and waste a bump. Get into the ’50s but be closer to the ’60s. This may be trying too much at once. – Okay, ’cause you only have one bump. Oh, he’s gonna bump me. – You bumped me. – I wasted a bump. – You wasted your bump and you’re in 1970. Stevie. – [Stevie] Born out of the silver age of comic books where comics reach new heights and commercial success due to the superheroes more humanistic and flawed natures. The beloved awkward Spider-Man first appeared in “Amazing Fantasy” number 15 in 1962. – [Link] Ooh, you were right. – [Rhett] I think I’m closer. – [Link] Are you? – [Rhett] Well, we gotta get ’em. We need to, well, I don’t know. We gotta have a measurement. We need a measurement. – I am- – Well- – pretty positive that you’re closer to ’60. – That. – I’m a teeny bit closer. – [Link] Dang it. You lucky it dog. – But I wasted a bump. – Get the point. (pleasant music) Who do we have here? – I shall shed my light over dark evil for the dark things cannot stand the light. The light of the Green Lantern. – Wow, that is intimidating. – He’s gonna shed his- – He’s gonna. – What? My light. – His light. He’s got- – Over what? – Over dark evil. (Rhett laughing) – Nice. – Got the ring right there. Okay, Green Lantern. All right, so I’ve taken the early lead, so I go first, right? My instinct about Green Lantern is earlier than Spider-Man. I think he might be earlier than Hawkman, or right around the same time. – Wow. – Because it’s a lantern. Lantern, kids don’t care about lanterns now. – Or in the, by the ’40s. – Yeah, no. – Or the ’50s. – I think this is back when lanterns still mattered. So I’m going, I think ’20s might be too early. That’s like pre superhero era. I’m, you know, I’m gonna try to land on the T of the ’20s, the ’30s, and the ’40s. – [Link] Okay. (graphic swooshes) – Oh, a little short. – Okay. – [Link] I’ve gotta get around you here. – [Rhett] What’s your guess, though? – Anything beyond you. – Okay, all right. – I’m taking a risk that the answer is not 1940, so I’m going for between ’30s and ’50s. Do not want to touch you. – [Rhett] Don’t waste a bump like I did. Well, you better hope it’s 1930. – [Link] Oh gosh. – ‘Because that might be your only. Well, no, no, 1950. – Yeah. – [Stevie] Unlike most superheroes, the Green Lantern title is not exclusive to one person. Although, the most famous version, Hal Jordan, debuted in 1959, the first Green Lantern, Alan Scott, was introduced in “All-American Comics” number 16 in 1940. – Yeah. – Dang it. (Rhett exclaims) I mean, you’re just lucky so far, but that’s all right, that’s all right. – Okay. – I’ll come back. I’ll take (indistinct) I’ll take maybe. (pleasant music) Okay, in last year’s mythical census, we learned that one out of five of you liked metal. – Seriously. – So you know what we did? We took that insight and we made this metal tee inspired by the classic metal bands from when we were kids. Like Metal Death, AC/DC, and Judas Priest. – Pretty cool. – Hopefully, one out of every five of you will buy it at mythical.com. See how that works? – All right, we were told not to look towards Davin until now. – I am the pretty sailor soldier of the moon. I am Sailor Moon. On behalf of the moon, I will punish you. (Rhett laughing) – What have we done that we should be punished on behalf of the moon? – You look at the sun too long. – What have you done that looks so amazing? – Yeah, right. Wow, okay. I don’t, I’m not a, I don’t, I’m not an expert here. So, I mean, it feels like ’70s or ’80s, probably ’80s with that hair. Okay, I’m gonna try to land in between ’70s and ’80s. I don’t wanna overthink this too much. – You need to work on your pose game. – I’m afraid of. – Nice shot. – Exposing too much. – Okay, fully in the ’80s with a little bit of a toe in the ’70s. – You don’t wanna do another pose? You’re afraid of what? – So what Sailor Moon does is she does this. – Oh. – But, you know, I don’t want to, you know. – I have to win this round to stay in this thing. – [Rhett] Yeah. – So I have to use my bump because ’80s could be right. – [Rhett] Could be right. – It’s like very flashy colors. So I think you’re right with ’80s. So I’ve gotta blast you into 2000 because- – These are so top heavy though, these pucks, so you gotta be careful that you don’t- – [Link] I don’t know what the bounce is gonna do. – You don’t lose it. – I’m also top heavy. – [Link] Okay. Yeah, that’s what I like. – If it’s in the ’90s I win, anything else you win. – [Stevie] Sailor Moon, the iconic middle school student who befriended a talking cat that gifted her a magical brooch, which transforms her into a sailor soldier, has been beautifully saving the world since she was introduced in 1991. – [Link] Gosh. – [Rhett] Oh. – [Link] Today is not my day, sailor soldier, moon. Tinker- – You’re punished. (crew laughing) – Hey, take him out back and punish him. (pleasant music) Who do we have here? – I am Drax. – Yeah, you are. – I am. – [Stevie] Drax, where’s Gamora? – I’ll do you one better, Mrs. Voice Lady. Why is Gamora? – I get that. (Rhett laughing) I’ve seen the movies. That was funny. – Okay, Drax is cool. I love some “Guardians of the Galaxy,” but here’s the thing, I cannot. You can’t win it. – I can’t win, even though this isn’t even the last round and there are no bumps. – I propose adding a new rule to thine scroll, okay? – Okay. – I got an idea here. – Now, when you say thine scroll, you talking about (dramatic fanfare) – the scroll- – Thine scroll. – Scroll o’ shuffle rules? It’s not on here, and I’m not gonna take the time to write it, but I will say, this is what I’m proposing. See, what you think about this. If a player is facing a potential shutout, he shall be awarded- – In round four. – When players enter round four- – And has no chance of winning. – that player shall be awarded a second bump. – Yes. – This is too much for Drax. – Can you- (Rhett laughing) Does that seem right to you, Drax? – If you say so, yes. – Now, it doesn’t technically solve much because you still can’t win, but it can make you feel better. – [Link] Okay. Drax, “Guardians of the galaxy.” – It feels like this is the kind of thing that was happening in the ’80s, flying under the radar. Or did it happen in the 2000s and it all happened very quickly, and then they just put the movie out? I don’t know. But here’s what I’m gonna do. I’m gonna hit the ’80s and then rely on you bumping me. But your bump is just gonna push me into the 2000s, which I think is an equally good answer. So I’m trying to land in the ’80s. – That is a hard roll there. You could have shot it. Now, “Guardians of Galaxy” probably came about when they were like really obsessed with the galaxies. I think my answer would be ’70s. But in order to ensure that I’m still in this and take advantage, I’ve gotta knock you off- – Off the board? – entirely. – Okay. – And then land in 1970. I’m gonna knock you in the way I should’ve knocked you last time. This one’s in honor of Gamora. (Rhett laughing) (groans) Not my day. – I love- – Not my day. – The way your superhero just kind of settled face down like. (crew laughing) Yeah, this is not your day. – Man. – Not your day. – [Stevie] Okay, Drax the Destroyer was actually just a normal human being until he was killed, had his spirit grabbed in the cosmos, and put into this powerful body to fight against Thanos. Drax has been engaging in intergalactic combat ever since his debut in “The Invincible Iron Man” number 55 in 1973. – Ooh, you should have just landed on ’70s and gone with your instinct, man. – You tempted me with a bump. (pleasant music) Okay, who do we have now? – I’m Batman. (Rhett laughing) – Nice voice, Batman. – Thank you. – This is, wow. Your ears are kind of like, they’re going in one direction. – They’ve just been in the washer. (Rhett laughing) – You do your own laundry or is that an Alfred situation? – Alfred did it for me. – [Rhett] Alfred, yeah. Alfred does that. – I cannot win. – You gotta tell him to iron the ears. – You’re gonna go first. – You have an opportunity to win, like always in the final round. – According to the rules. – A bank shot into the correct answer completely circumscribed, if that’s the right word. – [Link] I ain’t out of this, Batman. – [Rhett] Batman’s old. Superman is like ’30s probably, right? It feels like Batman was kind of on the heels of Superman. But 1940 has already been taken. (Link harmonizing) I don’t know, 1950. (graphic swooshes) – [Link] I hope you overshoot it. – [Rhett] Okay, I overshot it, but I’m a little bit in it. – So, I’ve got a bank shot and land directly in it. You’ve made it where that’s impossible for 1950. – [Rhett] Do you think 1950 is the correct answer? – Well, I can’t land on it, so I hope it’s not. So, ’90, ’70, ’60 ’40 are all taken. – If you were able to come right here and bank right here, I think technically you could fit right here. And if you basically get right here, even if you’re going into the black a little bit, I’m still gonna say that that’s good enough. – I don’t think 1930 is the answer. I think that’s too early. I think it has to be 50. I’m gonna see if I can slide in here. Oh, no. (Rhett laughing) – How appropriate is that? – Oh, man. (Rhett laughing) You know what? I’m not, I’m quitting the rest of the day for anything. – Okay, Stevie, what’s the real answer? – [Stevie] Believe it or not, that isn’t Davin in costume, but actually billionaire Bruce Wayne. – What? I’m not Bruce Wayne, I’m Batman. – [Rhett] Right. – [Stevie] The infamous playboy philanthropist has been moonlighting as the notorious vigilante Batman ever since his first appearance in “Detective Comics” number 27 in 1939. – Ooh, it’s the ’30s. – Wow, the 1930s. I couldn’t have banked it anywhere though. It doesn’t matter. And you know what? The back and forth battle continues, right? – Yes, it does. – Because you have won and you get to become. – Master Mythical. (triumphant music) Well, I don’t know what kind of powers I have, but Chase is my caper. (chuckles) So you get to be – Master mythical. – And you get to subscribe. If you’re not already subscribed, you should do that and click the bell. – Master Mythical says do it, subscribe. – You know what time it is. (air swooshes) (fire crackling) Boy, we are really hitting our stride now. We’re at that point in a marathon where I actually don’t know ’cause I never ran a marathon and I never will. – You want to? – I won’t. – What if we did it? – I don’t want to. – All these YouTubers are doing fitness channels. – I’d rather play a video game called Run a Marathon. – That sounds pretty boring. – Exactly, I would rather do that. – Okay. – I mean it- – You get water cups. How do you make it interesting? You can hit, you can. It’s like Grand Theft Auto. So you can, like the guy tries to hand you water on the side of the road and you punch him? Is it like that? – I think you could punch. – Okay. – And you can go off course. You can go into a deli. – Oh, you know what it is? This actually could be a good game. It’s a marathon game and you’re trying to win the marathon, but still trying to be, do it illegally, like. – Run some errands. – Well, like, cut across the course and not get caught. – Not get caught. – And if you can win and not get caught, you learn a life lesson. Then if you win and don’t get caught, you still win. – This is a good idea. And you’ve been rewarded by making it this far in the marathon. But can we talk a little bit more about Davin? – Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. – I mean, that Sailor Moon look- – Yeah. – was just fire. – He dressed like that for weeks. (crew laughing) – We had to rip it off of him and burn it. And he still put it on after that. – Yeah, he did, yeah. – It was just ashes. – Not safe. Not safe. – And he was crying. He was just weeping. He was weeping that we burned that costume. – Yeah, you weren’t supposed to talk about it though, because it was very traumatic for him. – He was, yeah. He’s never been the same. – He took a leave of absence and everything. – Right, there’s a hollowness in his eyes. – This deep into a marathon, you can make a joke like that ’cause no one’s, you’re hoping no one’s watching anymore. Or they’re just. You think Barry is got the vacuum on so loud now that he didn’t hear that. Barry, rewind a little bit. – Who’s Barry? – He’s the guy who watches, I occasionally talk to. – But- – He’s the guy who watches with the show in the background. – Should we tee up the next one? Yeah, we should. Barry, pay attention. Turn the vacuum off, man. – Right. – Get a Roomba. – 100 years of fried foods, September 15th, 2021. (air swooshes) (fire crackling) Today we taste deep fried history. – Let’s talk about that. (upbeat music) “Good Mythical morning.” – This may sound shocking, but Americans were not the originators of fried food. – Sadly. – Actually, the first frying pans were created way back in fifth millennium BC Mesopotamia. And the first food believed to have ever been fried was cakes, so like ancient donuts. – We don’t know if there was a hole in the cake. I mean, that’s, you’re just conjecturing at this point. – Okay. – Right? You don’t know. – Yeah. – Now, if the existence of fried beer is an indication, and that is a real thing, we humans have taken fried food to new and innovative, and probably definitely unnecessary heights over the past few millennia. And let’s see if we can guess how we got here, shall we? It’s time for the shuffleboard game, fried food edition. Welcome to the shuffleboard game zone. – Yeah. In each round we’re gonna be given an iconic or wild, but real fried food. And then we’re gonna have to guess when it was first created by shuffling our pucks of fry. – Fry bags. – Fry bags. – Fry baskets. – Fry dipper baskets, yeah, yeah, down to the corresponding decade on our amazing shuffleboard. – Whoever’s closest to the correct decade wins the round. Bump fest rules steal in effect. And the winner of the game will get their own personal serving of deep fried Sprite. – I want it. – Come on, Link. This is yours to win, man. – I’m gonna find it. – In Good Mythical More, let’s shuffle. (pleasant music) – Wow. – What do we have here? – [Rhett] Tater tots. – [Link] We’re in tater tot territory. – Oh, you got a double, double. Oh, I got a triple. Ha ha. – Congratulations, Rhett. – Man, I love a good tater tot. You know what people do? Some people bake these things. They’re fried. If you want ’em taste real good and be real good for you, you fry ’em again. – Fry ’em again. Okay, Link, you won last time, so you have the disadvantage of shuffling first. – So I’m trying to figure out the first tater tot. I wouldn’t be surprised if tater tots were all the way back in 1890 to be completely honest. – [Link] Go for it. – But it kind of feels like there’s a little bit of like a- – [Link] That’s an added- – Tater tot on the board. I think there’s a manufacturing process that was not. I almost chocked on a tater tot. – Here, maybe this will help you. – My mouth is too small. – Another hazard. – I think there’s a manufacturing process that didn’t exist in 1890, so I think this is 1920. – Oh dang, you really are reaching back there still. A delicate- (laughing) – [Rhett] Or 1990. – [Link] Is the board slow this morning? – [Rhett] I just think it’s the fact that I was- – [Link] Or are you weak? – I almost choked on a tot. – I hate that you accidentally did what you did because my answer- – 1950. – is 1950. I could bump you and me land in 1950. This is a bump fest. But then that puts you in 1920, which would make you happy, ’cause that’s your actual answer. I’m gonna send you to 1960. – Okay. – And I’m gonna land in 1950. – [Rhett] Man, these are good. Okay, be careful. – They are good. Oh. (Rhett laughing) All right, see, I’ve given you your answer. – [Rhett] You gave me the answer, so I feel good about this. – [Link] So this is a gentleman’s bump. – [Rhett] Yeah, you got your answer, I got mine. – [Stevie] The name tater tot is patented by the Ore-Ida company who created them after they realized they should do something with the scraps of their french fry making process. Tater tots made their official debut in Miami at the National Potato Convention. – Yeah. – In 1954. – [Rhett] Ugh, dang it. – [Link] Nailed it. – Nice job, Link. That Sprite’s looking better every day. (Link laughing) (pleasant music) – I’m good at uncloshing things ’cause I work on this show. – Yeah, you wouldn’t be good without working on the show. – I don’t know what that is. – You’re not great at dispensing of the closh That’s probably not what you should do. – That’s not what you did? – I mean, I work on this show and I place it back there. – Oh, it’s so far though. Is this a cream puff? What is this? – Let me cut it, man. – Just bite it. – No. It’s leaking. Is it cheese coming outta there? – I think it’s ice cream. It is cold. Is it cold? – Fried ice cream. – I thought it was- – From Chi-Chi’s. – I remember Chi-Chi’s was really pushing that fried ice cream, didn’t make me go though. – Pushing it right in your mouth if you go in there. – It’s a great combination. – Yeah. – Hmm. – How’d they do that? It’s like magic. – Okay, Link’s up to bat first because he’s in the lead. This is probably a pre Chi-Chi’s invention. I mean, you think Chi-Chi’s invented this? – A pre Chi-Chi’s invention? – Yeah. I’m gonna get my bearings with Chi-Chi’s, which I think- – When was Chi invented? Came out in the, I don’t know. The ’80s? Fried ice cream is such a strange envelope pushing concept that I think you’ve gotta get later in time to need to get that creative. I’m gonna split the diff between ’90 and ’80. Oh, okay. That’s kind of what I wanted. – [Rhett] Pretty impressive. – [Link] I’ve given you something to contend with here. – [Rhett] Well- – My puck in the middle of the triangle. The funny thing is Link, is that 70 is actually what I was thinking would be the best guess because I feel like I almost assuredly saw this advertised in the ’80s. – You talking about Chi-Chi’s- – Chi-Chi’s. – Commercials. ♪ Fried ice cream ♪ ♪ Fried ♪ ♪ Fried ice cream ♪ – Now at Chi-Chis. – Next time we’ll pick a key. You’re gonna, so this is a bump fest. – This is a bump fest. So what I’m trying to do is I’m trying to hit you here and knock you into 1890, so that I’ve got the ’70s and the ’80s, and maybe even the ’60s covered. But I think the ’70s is a good answer. But I gotta hit you hard enough to not get you into the ’80s ’cause it could have come out in the ’80s – Bump fest. What a bump. Rhett has sent me as far away from anything that could secure a point. – Mission accomplished. – [Stevie] While fried ice cream became a huge trend in Japanese tempura restaurants in the 1960s. – You talking about Chi-Chi’s? – [Stevie] No. It was at the Chicago World’s Fair that a frozen scoop of crispy battered flash fried ice cream was first created in 1893. (Link laughing) – [Rhett] What? – We’re stupid and I’ll celebrate it. – Man, I sent you right to the right answer. You should let me have some of that Sprite if you win it. – Bump fest. (pleasant music) – Okay, let me know if I’m doing this right. – That’s great. Well, that was quite annoying. – Oh, when somebody else did it, it was annoying? – What is this, a fried pickle? – That’s a fried pickle. – Now, you gotta watch out for a fried pickle ’cause those things are usually so hot. – That’s fried dill. – Mm. – [Rhett] Right Link, you’re still up. – Mm. – You’re pulling away a two-zero lead. – Fried pickles, Orlando’s recent obsession. I feel like this is a very recent thing, but maybe it’s that I never was really interested in a fried pickle until my youngest son was and I- – [Rhett] You’re taking an interest. – I definitely want to connect with him. – You know, what I was thinking as you were standing there? – What, Rhett? – I was like, “Man, that onesie that Link’s got on looks good.” – You know what else I can do? I can go full hooded onesie. I can zip it up all the way. – [Rhett] Right. – And you can get one too as a member of the Mythical Society. – All you gotta do is sign up for a third degree quarterly or annual by September 30th. Visit mythicalsociety.com for details. – It’s the perfect thickness, which is a thinness. – Yeah, I’m naked underneath and I feel great. – The sad truth is I know that he’s not lying. All right. – So back to Lando. (laughing) – I think this could be 1990. I mean, it could be 2000. – But a, if you set yourself at 2000, a bump fest is very risky for me. – Yeah. – I mean, I mean, these things don’t move very much. – I’m gonna go over here between 2000 and 1990. Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. – [Rhett] Well, you’re on fire with the- – I got some accuracy. – your accuracy today. Now, you’re right about these things being like popular in restaurants more recently. – Uh-huh. – But I have to think that fried pickles is something that has been around for much longer than that. I think it might be ’70s, ’80s, ’60s, that territory. – [Link] So you don’t wanna bump me? – [Rhett] I don’t wanna bump you. I just want to get on. I just want to land on ’70 and then have basically that end of the board to contend with. – Maybe try full hood, like hood it up. – [Rhett] It’s, I mean, it’s complicated when you’ve got this much hair, but just- – Come on. – So, you know. – [Link] Oh, that’s nice. – [Rhett] Yeah, now I can’t even see. – Really nice. – All right, this may mess up my accuracy to get to 1970. – [Link] It’s a little slow, but it’s creeping. – [Rhett] Okay, well it’s closer to all the answers that I wanted, so. – [Stevie] This fried sports bar favorite hails from Atkins, Arkansas where the owner of the Duchess Drive-in, Bernell Fatman Austin, first fried some dill pickle chips in catfish batter in 1963. – Right. – Ooh. You have won, but it’s an ugly point. – Oh, come on, but I said ’60, ’70s, ’80s, man. I think that was well played. (pleasant music) – Unclosh. – You wanna try my technique? – Oh yeah, what would that be like? Take a couple of steps- – and then just place it- – Delicately place it on the. – You like that? The nicest thing- – Liked it. – about this game is that you don’t know what it is until you take a bite out of it. – Yeah, ’cause it’s a deep fried. Oh goodness, that’s oozy. It’s cinnamony. – [Stevie] Does it almost melt in your mouth? – Yeah, yeah, it’s really, really good. – Is it ice? – [Stevie] The melt was the, yeah, it was the hint part. It’s deep fried butter. – What? – I’ve seen this at state fairs. – Gosh. – But I haven’t had the guts to get it. – Oh Lord, that’s good. – That is good. – Oh, man. – I thought it was deep fried fry. – I’ve had two of ’em. I’ll have all of ’em if you don’t get me away from ’em. – So because I’m winning- – You’re still in the lead. – Okay. – Two to one, man. – Deep fried butter. – Gosh. – I would venture to guess that it was started at fairs. – [Rhett] Started at fairs. – You know, the county or state variety. – Most of the best ideas are started at state fairs. – Yeah. – Space travel. – Auctions. – Yeah. – Milking contests. – Yeah, big pumpkins. – Making out on Ferris wheels with your teenage girlfriend. – Been there, done that. – Deep fried butter. I don’t remember that being at the North Carolina State Fair in the late ’80s. I think it’s a ’90s thing. I think that’s when the fair explosion of what else can we deep fry really started to happen. 1990 is my answer. All right, I’m just gonna emphatically go for 90. – Do it emphatically. Make a grunt while you do it. (Link grunts) – [Link] Oh, that’s short, that’s short, that’s short, that’s short. – [Rhett] No, that’s actually, that’s pretty good. That’s still pretty good. – All right. – You’re a little bit short. – [Link] I’m inviting the bump and I don’t even care. – Well, I actually think you’re on the right answer, friend, because I think that the deep fried craze is something that probably started getting going in the late ’90s. – Oh. – But deep fried butter, like frying something that you fry something in. – You think it’s back in? – I think that’s 2000s. I think you’re actually on the right answer, so it is my sworn duty to bump you. It’s ’90 or 2000, I’m almost sure. So I gotta basically just get you to the back and remain there. – [Link] Oh, that hurts. Come on back, come on. Oh, man. – [Rhett] So it might be ’80 and you’re still there, but I think- – [Link] That would’ve creeped all the way back. – [Stevie] Deep fried butter, a literal pad of butter that’s been battered, deep fried, and finished with honey and powdered sugar was created by Chef Abel Gonzales Jr., aka Fried Jesus for the state fair of Texas in 2009. – Yeah. – You were right, Rhett. ♪ Done it, tied it up ♪ – Fried Jesus. ♪ Baby ♪ (pleasant music) – A deep fried turkey. This thing could kill you in multiple ways. – [Rhett] Oh man, there’s a slice for you over here already. – [Link] Oh, is there? – Yeah. – Okay. – Just because the slicing is- – Made it easy. – Dicing is. – Hmm, I’m a ham man, but I’m not gonna complain about a nice outer skin piece of juicy deep fried turkey. – That’s the best part of deep fried turkey. – Hmm, that is goodness. – Okay, so we’re tied. I won last time, but we’re in the middle of a bump fest. – I’m pretty sure there’s a rule. We need to consult- – the scroll. – People are like, oh God, they’re consulting the scroll. I hate this part. Why can’t you just fast forward through this part because it takes ’em so long to even know which way the scroll goes. – Yeah, I fast forward. – There’s so many rules. – I fast forward through this part and I talk about it on Reddit. (Rhett laughing) You know who you are. – Scroll o shuffle rules state. – Ah, here it is. Should two foes be in the midst of a bump fest and into the final round at a tie. – Yes. – That is our situation. That is what we’re doing. – We are doing that. – Bumps are doth forbidden, ha. Should anyone disobey and bump in that final round, their right hand will be cut. What, cut off? Only jesting. Ah, there’s a joke in the scroll. The standard illegal bump penalty applies. When an illegal bump doth occureth, the offending players puck is moved wherever their opponent chooses, and the opponent’s puck is returned to its pre-bumped position. Okay, and what’s not in here is the fact that now because I won last time, you get the advantage, which actually would be going first in the final round, because it makes it difficult for me to not bump. And if I do bump you, you get to put yours back where it was and place mine wherever you want. Thank you, gracious scroll. (Rhett laughing) – But that needs to be added to the scroll. – Yeah, we gotta add that. Whatever I just said, add that to the scroll for next time. There we go. – Okey dokey. – So you go first, deep fried turkey. – Yeah, so I just get the slight advantage because I haven’t been leading most recently. Deep fried turkey. Let’s see. The first time I tried a deep fry turkey, I got cold feet and I was just like, “All right, I need to get Lewis to do it.” He stepped up to the plate and it was good, good, good. – Yeah, man, it’s so good. I’ve done it a couple of times. Did it last Thanksgiving actually. – I mean, that was definitely the 2000s. That’s been taken. I’m starting to feel like it’s ’90s. I just don’t think in the ’80s, people weren’t talking about this in the ’80s or earlier. I think this is 1990. – Do your worst. – [Link] You stop, yes. I have made it tough for you if you agree with my answer. – I’m 100% in 1990. – [Link] Would you have said 2000 if that hadn’t been taken? – If 2000 hadn’t been taken, I would’ve been on the fence. – [Link] Yeah. – Because 2000s is when we started talking about it. But I remember like 2005 trying it for the first time back in North Carolina. So yeah, you’re definitely on the right answer. Gosh, what if I land in ’90? There’s no way I can be more in ’90 than you. So do you win automatically? – You might want to go for ’80. – I want to just make sure that. I don’t think I can go for ’90. – Yeah. – ‘Cause I can’t touch you. And if I land on it, it’s whoever’s more in 90 wins and gets the point. – Right. – So you technically have ’90 blocked out. Let me just say, I think you’ve won. For this point, I’m just going for the off chance that somebody decided to do this in 1980. – [Link] What about 1920? – I don’t think it happened then, so I’m going to ’80. – [Link] He’s on a wing and a prayer and he is overshot 80. – But not. – For the, not really. You’re good. – [Stevie] The deep fried turkey trend led to nearly 500 homes burning down in the year 1998 alone. However, Cajun chef and personality, Justin Wilson was the first person to publicly declare he’d seen someone deep fry a turkey all the way back in the 1930s. – [Rhett] Oh, well, you’re still closer. We were both wrong, but you were less wrong. – Justin Wilson. – Justin Wilson, may he rest in peace. – I guarantee. – He is dead, right? He’d be like 140 now. – I won, it was ugly. But gimme that deep fried Sprite. Yes, don’t be shy. – I was hoping it would just be a can. – How does this work? – [Rhett] Hopefully you’ll let me get a nibble of that in Good Mythical More. Congratulations. – Look, what I found. – And thank you for subscribing and clicking that bell. – You know what time it is. It tastes good. (air swooshes) (fire crackling) – Wow, that was suspenseful, man. I love it when we come into the final round tide, you know. – You’re hanging in there. – Those of you who think that everything- – You’re still in this marathon. – GMM is scripted, it’s not. Sometime it just works out that way, you know? And sometimes you have to consult the scroll just to remember what your rules are. And once again, the scroll is, you know- – It’s important. – It’s useful. – It’s getting longer, and longer, and longer. Honestly, at this point, we try not to bring out the scroll. – Right. – ‘Cause it’s so long. – Well, because trying to find the rule that you’re trying to reference- – It’s too hard. – We really need a digital database, but it wouldn’t be as fun. – I think we need a second scroll. We need like a, we need a scroll- – We need a Kindle scroll. – that summarizes a scroll. – Scroll on a Kindle. – Okay. – That’s in another drawer. – Yeah. But can we roll out paper and then there’s a Kindle there. Like, boop. You think, that can be the joke? – Oh, you know what? – Next over to the shuffleboard, it’s like we unroll the scroll, and people are like, “Oh no, not again.” And then it rolls out this far and then a Kindle falls out of it. – But it’s not a Kindle. It’s one of the- – It’s a nook. – No, it’s one of those things that constantly gets advertised to me on TikTok, a remarkable tablet. – This is your handwriting. – Looks just like paper. – Looks just- – It’s just like paper. – Can we just- – Do I only get that because I’m an old man? – Or is everyone- – I’ve gotten it a few times. I know that it appeals to you. – They’re like, oh, you’re a middle-aged man. You would love something that feels like paper but isn’t. – Still use your handwriting. Papyrus, it’s made out of Egyptian paper. Can we just review the best ideas from state fairs? – Yeah. – Have them here. Space travel. – Yep, that clearly a state fair idea. – Auctions. – Yep. – Milking contests. – Uh-huh. – Big pumpkins. – Right. One are the best ideas people have ever come up with. – And this list is the best thing we’ve ever come up with. And finally, making out on Ferris wheels with your teenage girlfriend. – Yeah, all great ideas. – This is like the best day ever. This list could be lots of things. Bucket list, best day ever. I space travel and made out with my teenage girlfriend. I won a milking contest- – But- – at an auction. – But check out this segue. – Yeah, dude. – You know, a great idea? Apparently, it was a great idea to do 100 years of school lunches because over 8 million people. – And this episode has it all. This is why we- – Tuned in. – We picked this one to end the marathon. It’s got Mythical lunch lady, Chase. It’s got Vienna sausages, and a moat of creamed corn released on September 4th, 2018. (air swooshes) (fire crackling) – Today we eat grandma’s school lunch. – Let’s talk about that. (upbeat music) (chicken exhales) “Good Mythical Morning.” – Link, I just have to ask you, would you happen to be wearing one of the many pieces available in our new line, Forest and Farm, available at mythical.store? – Rhett, I’m so glad that you asked me that because yes, I actually am wearing this sleek, button-up featuring miniature horses. – [Rhett] Oh, your favorite animal. – [Link] All over it. – You know what? And I just happened to be wearing the wood shirt from the Forest and Farm collection because- – I did notice that. – I really like wood. It’s wood grain. – Wow, wood grain. – I also have a wood hat. I also have wood socks. – Would you like to see- – I would. – my miniature horse hat. – Oh, wow. – And my miniature horsey socks. You don’t have to wear it all together, but you could. – Yes, this is the Forest and Farm collection available at mythical.store. – Button up with us y’all. But enough about our shirts. Let’s talk about school lunch, okay? – Yes. – Specifically how school lunches have changed over the decades. – And let’s not just talk about ’em, let’s play a game where we guess what decade different school lunches come from. It’s time for year eye with 2 straight guys, school lunch edition. – Okay, here’s how it works. In each round, we are gonna be given a school lunch that was actually served during a particular decade. We are going to sample said lunch. – I’m hungry. – And then we are gonna indicate our guess as to what decade it was served in by shuffle boarding the actual lunch on the Mythical shuffleboard court. – [Rhett] And Mythical lunch lady Chase will be assisting us. – Hello, Mythical lunch lady, Chase. Did you just burp internally? – Yeah, sorry. – He works with lunch. Okay, so lunch lady Chase will be measuring our distance of course from our lunch, wherever it lands to the correct decade, whoever’s closest wins. And at the end, whoever wins gets to enjoy a nice piece of square school lunch pizza. And then the loser has to write, I will learn lunch better 100 times on a chalkboard. – Let’s shuffle. (upbeat music) We appear to have some sort of meat slab, yet to be identified. Some fruit cocktail, perhaps. – [Rhett] Yes, that’s what we call that growing up. It had these shrivelly grapes in it. – I love some shrivelly grapes. – [Rhett] That is a fried pork chop. – [Link] Fried pork chop? – We cannot lift our drinks off of our trays because they’re glued down. – I know, I like this little end part of the fried pork chop. – Don’t eat it all Link because you’re gonna need it to weigh down your tray. – But because my Aunt Vicky used to be a school lunch lady- – Oh yeah, I remember. – you should go first. – Right, because going second gives you the advantage. Okay, I see how this is played. Be very ginger here. There is no ginger on my plate though. – Grab your stick. Do you have an idea what decade this is from? – I believe that these like two canned things with some fried pork chop, we’re definitely talking about 1950 or earlier. We’ve added some shuffleboard sand on this. – [Link] Yeah. – So it’s a little bit slicker, so it might be difficult to get it to stop. I’m just trying to get it to stop somewhere in the top, because I’m going for like 1920 or ’30. – [Link] Oh, you overshot it. – [Rhett] Okay, landed safely in 1940. – Your answer’s wrong, but you got closer than you thought to the correct answer, which I believe to be 1980. This is ’80 stuff, man. I ate all of this stuff as a child. – Okay. – Here’s what I’m gonna do. I’m gonna knock your tray into the moat of cream corn, (Rhett laughing) and I’m gonna land softly and safely, squarely on 1980. – Boom. – Wow. – Boom. – It’s amazing that you did what you intended to. – What? – That’s, I wanna celebrate for you. – Do it. – [Stevie] Guys, things are about to get even more amazing. You just ate a veal cutlet with chicken noodle soup, a fruit cup, and a glass of lemonade. This was a popular school lunch in the 1980s. (Link cheering) (Rhett laughing) – Okay, I quit, I quit. I don’t want your streak to get ruined. I’ll keep playing. (upbeat music) Okay, we’ve got something that’s not real eye catching. – No. – Is that a? It’s just a lettuce sandwich. – [Rhett] Oh no, there’s no, yeah, it’s just lettuce. No, there’s some, something, maybe mayonnaise. Only one way to find out. You just gotta take a bite, I guess. – [Link] And I don’t know what this death soup is. There’s peas. – [Rhett] And a weird green bean gelatinous thing. – [Link] Is there crab in that? – I don’t know, I’m letting you taste that. – Hold on, that’s clam chowder. Yeah. And this is green. – It’s not good though. – This is cream green beans. – Okay, what we’re gonna do, because there’s such an advantage to going second, whoever’s losing at the time will go second. So Link, you go first this time. – Lettuce sandwich, man, must have been desperate times. – Yep, That’s what I’m thinking. The ’90s. – If I knew something about history and could correlate that to desperate times, then I would be able to formulate an answer. – Okay. – But since I don’t know about that stuff- – Aim for the ’90s. – Aim for the middle of the board. I’m just, I’m feeling 1920. – [Rhett] Okay. – And I want to be at the tip of the spear so that no matter where you go, you gotta move me outta the way. – Okay, do it. – [Link] Oh, it’s too hard, too hard. Way too hard. What happened? – [Rhett] Ah, yeah. – [Link] Man, I lost my game. – Hold on, you strategically spilled some clam chowder on the board though. – That stays. – Okay, I’m gonna have to go to the side then. I’m gonna come over here. So definitely desperate times. So we’re, it’s gotta be the ’10s, the ’20s, or the ’30s right? It can’t be after that. I’m just gonna try to get it to land at the top of the triangle ’cause it’s very difficult to get it to stop where you want. Okay. – [Link] You just kissed 1910. – [Rhett] 1910. – [Stevie] Just the tip. You just ate a lettuce sandwich with oyster soup and creamed Asparagus. A meal that was actually served in schools in the 1920s. – Oh. – Again, I was right, but I overshot my mark so far. – I win that round. (upbeat music) Wow, we’ve got a series of unidentifiable things. Those are tomatoes, I do know that. – This looks like cornbread with like a beanie weenie or- – It’s a Vienna sausage in there, man. Yep, that’s a Vienna sausage. – Hmm, something my granddad would eat only when fishing. Ugh. Tomatoes, a Jell-O salad. – I’d call that ambrosia, but I could be wrong. – That’s not gonna make it taste any better. Ugh. Okay. – Oh my gosh. – We’re tied, so we’ll just alternate. I’ll go first, you go second. – Coconuty. – I think that this type of stuff, like the weird Jell-O ambrosia situation started to get popular in the ’50s. Because I remember we played a game and there was a bunch of Jell-Oy things that from the ’50s, from that ’50s cookbook. So I’m going for 1950. Too much, too much, too. Stop, stop. – Too much. – [Rhett] Stop. – [Link] See, it’s not, it’s not easy to stay on this board. – [Rhett] No, it’s not. – I’m thinking 1950s because (crew laughing) all the things that you already said. – Well, all you have to do is go on the left side of the board and just contact my tray and you will win. – For the record, I do think the correct answer is 1950 as well. – [Rhett] Okay, don’t screw it up. – Goal. – [Link] Little finesse shot. – [Stevie] Okay guys, that was a, how do you pronounce the sausage when you were children? – Well, we said Vienna, some people say Vienna. – Vienna. – I thought, yeah. There was an R then. Vienna sausage shortcake served with a pork and apple salad, tomato wedges, and an orange coconut custard with cottage cheese. This was an actual school lunch in the 1950s. – Boom, I pull ahead. (upbeat music) So we’ve got milk, what appears to be what I would call beeforone with onions, green beans, bread with butter, and some sort of cake. – [Rhett] Hmm, cake looks good. This is the first one that excites me a little bit. – Peanut butter cake. (Link exclaims) – That is really good cake. – My nana makes- – Really good cake. – a mean peanut butter cake. – It’s almost as good as nana’s. Hold on, did you get in touch with nana? – [Chase] Yeah, she called me. – Nana will mail me a pound cake. She mails in a box of pound cake all the time. – She mails me cakes too. – Okay, so, I’m winning. – You’re winning, you’re in the lead, so you’re gonna go first. – Okay. (Link sighs) – I’m just gonna sit over here and enjoy this, nana’s cake. – This is difficult. These are kind of- – Good. – These are ubiquitous foods. Actually, the only thing that’s distinct is the peanut butter cake, which I think is more of a modern dessert invention. – Really? Interesting. – Yeah. This is not something from the ’40s or earlier. I actually think this is 1990. – [Rhett] Wow, Link. – Yeah, of course, that’s really close to the cream corn moat. (Rhett laughing) – You gotta be really delicate to hit 1990 knowing I’m coming right after you. – I gotta play the game though. So even though ’90 is my answer, I’m gonna try to go, well short of that. – Okay. Well short of that. Hey, you know what? That’s a really strategic play because what are the chances that I hit you and knock you all the way? I mean this, you might’ve just done something unintentionally really, really incredible. – All right, Rhett, knock me to the ’90s, buddy. – So I have a choice here because I actually think that. Okay, my reasoning on this is that you remember coming over to my house in the ’80s and eating pasta with, we had milk all the time. – You did. – We already know that ’80s have been guessed. So that was either something that had already been established in the ’70s or it carried into the ’90s. So I think we’re in the ’70s or the ’90s. If I hit you, I run the risk of knocking you closer to the answer and leaving myself at the top of the pyramid. So I’m gonna do- – Is this all leading up to you forfeiting? I don’t. What are you getting at? – I’m gonna do the sneaky slide around you. – Sneaky, you’re gonna put spin on the tray. – No, I’m just gonna try to get past you without actually coming in contact with you, which is not easy because these things, they’re not evenly balanced. Oh, this is tough. This is tough, this is tough. – Good luck with that. – [Rhett] I have no confidence. – [Link] I’ve got a lot of confidence. – Sneaky slide. – Sneaky slide. – [Link] What? (Rhett exclaims) – I mean, you just went past a tray with a tray. It’s. – I can get excited. – [Stevie] Okay, that was beef goulash, green beans, peanut butter cake, enriched white bread and butter, and a glass of milk. And schoolchildren enjoyed this lunch in the 1960s. – Ooh, ooh, ooh. I am closer. – Right, you win this round. We’re tied up again. (Rhett exclaims) (upbeat music) – Again, we’ve got a glass of milk, very popular in the ’60s. – This is peanut butter and cottage cheese, I think. – I’ve never had this. – This has a dog food like consistency. – Is that ricotta? – Oh. – Or cottage cheese? – That’s liver. – Well, I ain’t tasting that. – Oh. – But this is good. – [Rhett] Ugh. – Peanut butter and whatever that white mess is. – [Rhett] Oh, that’s liver. Oh gosh. – Now this is for the win Rhett or the lose. Because you went second last time, you have to go first this time. One of us is going to eat a really great piece of pizza and the other one’s gonna write a bunch of junk on a chalkboard. – Okay, well, you’ve got the advantage here going in with a tie. But let’s see what I can do. Now, I know that liver indicates desperate times. Putting liver in something that should probably have a non-organ meat in it indicates desperate times. – That’s your opinion, man. – This is in the 1910s or the 1930s. The problem is that if I just put it right out there, you’re just gonna knock me out of the way. I’ve got to do something even more strategic than that, Link. – Which is? – Are you kidding me? Did you do that on purpose? – Yes. – No, you didn’t. – I’m tempting you. What you gonna do? What are you gonna do with my tray? – You’re thinking that Lincoln’s gonna clink in your tray just because it’s there and I can’t help myself. (Rhett laughing) (Link laughing) – I can see it in your eyes. There’s no way you could talk yourself out of it. – Right. – You have to make contact with that tray. – What would be more fun? Winning or just blasting the crap outta your tray? – Exactly, I know you well, my friend. – Well, good buddy, I’m gonna do what I want to do and I’m still gonna win. (Rhett laughing) I’m gonna do what you want me to do, what I wanna do, and I’m still gonna win. – All right, okay, all right. – I can’t remember if the 1920s has already been an answer, but that’s my guess. – Great. (crew laughing) It has. – Here we go. For the blast, all the kibosh, and the win. (Link grunting) (Rhett laughing) – [Rhett] Whoa, that’s my tray, right? – Well, it’s in the moat, but mine’s over against the wall. So you win, but boy, that was fun. (Rhett laughing) I’ll write a bunch of crap on a chalkboard. You- – Oh no, but what was the answer? – [Stevie] Okay, so you just had a peanut butter, cottage cheese and salad dressing sandwich with cream liver and potatoes and a glass of milk, which was served in schools in the 1930s. – Good game, Link. – Oh man, that was worth writing on a chalkboard. – It was totally worth it. I love when we do something that gets the views and I win. – So you like our show then? – Yes. – Thank you for liking, commenting, and subscribing. – You know what time it is. (air swooshes) (fire crackling) – You made it. We need to have some sort of a imaginary- – Oh, don’t- – Finish line. – No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Don’t add things. – I said imaginary. – Okay. – Here it is. – All right, there it is. – It’s imaginary. Is this for our marathon game or for now? – This is for going through the marathon. – Because in the marathon game there should be an actual finish line. – Oh yeah, there should be. – It shouldn’t be imaginary ’cause that would be a weird way to end a video game. – Well, in marathon’s only the first person goes through the tape. Everyone else- – That’s how you know you won. – Oh, ’cause they should- – No, they bring in new tape that’s a different color. – Let’s- – They’re like karate belts. – You made it. Congratulations. I’m sure you didn’t take any shortcuts, any fast forwards, or any eye rolls, which are also illegal. – We had to burn Chase’s lunch lady outfit as well. – He just could not get outta that thing. He was in tears. – Stayed in that for weeks. – That last episode was the most popular- – Yeah. – episode of shuffleboard to date that we have ever released. – Yep. – Coincidentally- – And we’ll probably never break that number again. – The least- – Let’s be honest. – popular is the Davin Superhero episode. – Oh, okay. – Which was his idea. – You didn’t have to, I mean, you didn’t have to bring it up. – I just- – He is here. It’s just for- – He’s actually been here the whole time. – For completionists out there. – But he- – It is the worst performing shuffleboard episode. (crew laughing) – Yeah, yeah, yeah. – Ever. – For those data freaks out there. – Yeah, but this, the one you just watched was the best. And that’s- – So we wanted to kind of cover. – Maybe not the best. – Cover the book. – I think Davin’s might be the best. – Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. – But it’s the least popular, the lowest performance. – Yeah, yeah, yeah. You, yeah, you mean it has less views than all the rest of ’em. – It has less views than all the other ones combined. – Less people were interested in it really, you know? – Right. – So then YouTube decided. – People- – YouTube made a decision, like the algorithm made a decision. People don’t care about this. – Right. People don’t, you know, and it’s like- – People are actively choosing not to click on this. – Right, they didn’t even watch, they didn’t even give it a chance. – Right. – Was he in the thumbnail? – And then some of the people, people who did click on it,- – I’m sure we weren’t in the thumbnail. – The retention was just horrible. They clicked on it and then they, Barry decided he got something else to watch. – But it’s our favorite. – Right, but we love it. – We love it. – Right Davin? – We love it to death. – [Davin] Thank you. (Rhett laughing) – What have we- – He said thank you. What have we learned today in this marathon? I mean, we just birthed an amazing video game. – Yeah, got a video game, yeah. – 26 miles. – We remembered that big pumpkins are one of the best human ideas ever. – In real time. I think just the video game is the only real takeaway. – Okay, all right, video game. – And is it hot continues. – Okay, well, maybe for you. Listen if you start it ’cause you will, I’ll be there for you. I won’t- – Thank you. – But I won’t start it. And not sure I ever have. – I don’t know how you’re gonna know if things are hot. (sighs) – You know what? I really appreciate you being here with us for this and still being here with us for this. And we really hope that you’re still with us. I mean, we hope that you’re still alive. – Right. – On Monday. – We hope that didn’t kill you. – Because we got the premiere of season – 24. – On Monday now. Thanks for an amazing Good Mythical Summer. And GMM will be back with season 24 on our regular Monday through Friday schedule starting Monday, September 11th.
