GMM Marathon: Best International Taste Tests Marathon

You, us international taste tests all day long. – Let’s talk about that. (bright upbeat music) Gooooood Mythical Morning Mythical Morning. – Or should I say good mythical marathon? How about that? – Yeah, that’s right. (Rhett laughs) – Yeah, we should clap for that. – That’s right, Rhett. – We’re doing something for the first time. Making people clap basically. – Ever. Please, please clap. (Rhett claps) – We’re, yeah, we’re gonna be doing some marathons this week, today, Wednesday, Friday to wrap up the year. And so these are a, this is a long freaking video. I mean, just look at the run time. – Don’t look at the run time. – Don’t you look, yeah, just settle in, get cozy. ‘Cause you’re gonna be watching this thing and just, I mean, if you wanna get up and vacuum or something when you come back, – Yeah. – it’ll still be playing. – Multitask. – You know? ‘Cause these are not clips. These are not highlights. These are whole honking episodes. And they’re not just from this year. – Right, yeah. – We went back. – There’s so many years. – And so we’ve grouped these by category. – Yeah. – So today we’re in the dart category. – Yeah. I mean. – International Dart game. Very fun game. What do you mean? – Well, I’m just saying that, you know, we’ve done this 56 times, Link. I know that. – This year? – Yeah. No, think we’ve done this 56 times total in history. – Oh. – Yeah, this has been. ‘Cause doing that, this, I don’t know why I said this year. – You’re a strange guy. (Rhett laughs) You know, you’re like, immediately you went to 56 times this year, which would be more than once a week. Do you feel like we’ve done that game more than once a week? Does it feel that way because you lose so often? – There’s 56 years in my week. – Okay. But we’ve done this a lot. – There’s 56 weeks in my year. – I gotta say it’s one of my favorites. Is it one of your favorite formats that we do? – I’m getting back into it. I mean. – I see. – We’re gonna have to- (Rhett laughs) we’re gonna have to figure that out. – I see you’re getting back into it. – Let’s go back. We’re not going back to the beginning. We’ve just, we’ve picked some, you know, from throughout the history of international taste tests and wanted to start with Taco Bell, all right? – Yeah. Let’s do it. – Let’s do that one. November 11th, 2019. (screen whooshing) (Link speaks in foreign language) International Taco Bell. – Let’s talk about that. (mellow music) – Gooooood Mythical Morning. – We have a weekly podcast called “Ear Biscuits.” We laugh, we cry, we get real. – Yeah. – Listen on iTunes and Spotify and watch it on youtube.com/earbiscuits. “Ear biscuits,” for years, Taco Bell has been a lighthouse to Hungry College students searching for ground beef and almost cheese in the middle of the night. But it’s more than that. Taco Bell had a popup hotel in Palm Springs, and you can get married in a Taco Bell Chapel in Las Vegas. – I plan to. But Taco Bell’s empire is not limited to just the US. There are are Taco Bells all over the world, serving menu items that most people have never slid their taste buds under. So today we’re tasting the best of the best and seeing if we can tell it they’re from the east or the west. It’s time for- ♪ Where In The World Do These ♪ ♪ International Taco Bell Menu Items Come From ♪ – All right. We’ll be eating one of a kind menu items that are sold at Taco Bells around the world. We’ll guess which country each item is from by throwing a dart at our guess on the map. – There it is. Chase the Taco Bell hop. Woo whoop! Chase of course is gonna measure the distance to the right answer from our guesses. And the person with the lowest score at the end will win a Taco Bell hot sauce packet jacket. And since you have gotten better at this, since I gave you that dart tip, I lost last time, which means I’m going to get the special advantage dart, which is the gordidart. ♪ Mmmba pa pa-pa-pa pa-pa ♪ – What do we have here? – Is this an ice cream cone with Taco Bell ingredients inside of it? – [Link] Oh my goodness. – It’s chicken. – It’s fried chicken. I’ve never had fried chicken at a Taco Bell. – [Rhett] Me neither. And it has cubed potatoes. – Man, this is good. – I’m enjoying myself. Can you tell? That’s good. Now I gotta figure out where I’m gonna dart it. – Oh yeah. That is part of this, right? – All right. – You don’t just get to eat it. – I’m guessing this is Argentina. I don’t know why. – Neither do I. – I’m gonna go with Argentina. – Okay. – Don’t cry for me. Ooh. – Oh, wow, you almost hit the compass. – All right. What are you thinking? I just think, I don’t know why I thought Argentina, it just called, it beckoned to me. – Neither do I. I mean, most of the time when there’s something that I would describe as almost culinarily audacious. – Yeah. – Again, we talked about this last time. I have this tendency to feel like it comes from the east, you know, ’cause it’s just like, whoa, Ice cream cone with chicken in it. I don’t know if we could do that in Iowa, you know? – You know, if you go east far enough, you get to the west. ‘Cause it’s. – Don’t confuse me. – Don’t confuse me. – It’s a circle. It’s not actually situated like that. – So I’m thinking this is Indonesia or Japan. – Yeah. – And it’s, the fact that it’s pink, in Japan, I haven’t been. I really wanna go. But they’ll do things like, let’s, you know, let’s make it pink. – All right. We’re definitely gonna be on opposite ends of the world here. Bam! – Whoa. And I went, wow. – Way north. – I mean, those are two very unsafe unhedged guesses. – Stevie, what do we have here? – [Stevie] You just ate a Volcano Tacone, which is a taco shell shaped into a cone stuffed with crispy chicken and potatoes. – Uh-oh. – Tacones are served at Taco Bells in Kuwait. – Oh. – What? – Wow, so. – It sounded Spanish. – I don’t think anybody is gonna be, we’re starting off with some pretty high scores here. – Tacone. – [Stevie] Well, Link, these are all going to be – What’re you laughing at? – from Taco Bell, so. – Hey. Tacone. Like cone of ice cream. – Oh. (Link laughs) – Tacone, definitely Argentina. (Rhett and Link laugh) – We’re both way off though. – Yeah. Link, you had 56 and Rhett you had 38. – Oh, well you were more off than I was. – Yeah, I was. (screen whooshing) ♪ Mmmba pa pa-pa-pa pa-pa ♪ – Wow. Birthday surprise. – So this, is this a dessert burrito? – [Rhett] I would think so. It has sprinkles on it and chocolate. – Oh. And that’s a banana inside of it. – Oh. And like a chocolate rolled situation. – Dink it. Sink it. Some things are just begging to be dinked. – There’s nothing Taco Belly about this except for the tortilla. – That’s nice. – That’s what they say when they think of something crazy. And Taco Bell, they, the person in charge comes in and then he says, “But is there a tortilla?” (Link laughs) – Antonio Banderas. Here you go. – Hold on. I got chocolate on my hand. Oh! (crew laughing) – Can’t hold it forever, man. I just want- – You just dropped the dart. – I wanna let you know that like- – Six inches from my wang. – I’ma try to hand you stuff, but like, I can’t, I’m not always gonna be here for you, Rhett. Where would they do this? Where would they do something so audacious? – Your wang. Don’t say your wang. – Okay. My tortilla. (Rhett and Link laugh) – Wait, what? – Okay, where am I gonna go with a banana filled tortilla chocolate and sprinkles? Something about this feels like there’s, because of the banana, I’m feeling like a Latin American influence, which feels like it could be Colombia, Argentina, but could also be the way bananas were exported to Portugal. So I’m gonna aim in the middle of the Atlantic and hedge my bets. (dart banging) – Oh. – Look at that. You buried it in the word Portugal. One of my trainers at the gym is from Colombia. She speaks really fast, can’t understand a lot of what she says. So I just kinda nod my head and do more pushups. – Right, okay. Hold on. And that’s why you’re- (Rhett stutters) (crew laughs) But what’s the, I mean, just because you know someone from a country, I know someone from Canada, but I didn’t aim for it. You know what? So make the connection. – That’s your problem. (dart bangs) Ooh. A little low. They got bananas in Colombia. – Yeah, they do. – Right, Stevie? – [Stevie] Just ate a bananarrito. Banarrito. Bambanarito? – Yep. – Yep. – [Stevie] Yeah. Banarrito. A banana coated in Nutella wrapped in a tortilla showered with chocolate sauce and topped with sprinkles. It is served at Taco Bells in Cyprus. – Cyprus. – Cyprus. – Cyprus. – Dang it, and you know what? When I was in Thailand on a zip line, I met a mythical beast from Cyprus. – Well, yeah, you should have picked the other person you randomly knew. – All right Rhett, You had 19 and Link, you had 41. – Well Link. – Dang it. – You’re falling behind. (screen whooshing) ♪ Mmmba pa pa-pa-pa pa-pa ♪ – Now this looks familiar. This looks like a quesadilla. – [Link] No, this looks like a crepe, my friend. – Oh wow. Yeah, you gotta, oh, whoa. It sure does, doesn’t it? Whoa! – What’s inside of it? – I’m gonna keep it folded. – So it’s ground beef and cheese in a crepe situation. – That is really, really good. – That’s a savory packet of joy. – [Rhett] That’s not a tortilla though. I think we might need to call the person who makes that decision. All right, so you’re winning. So you gotta sdart first. – [Rhett] Where do they like crepes? Well, let’s see, I once- – I think everywhere where they’ve tasted crepes. I once met someone from South Africa. (crew laughing) – Oh yeah? – Yeah, yeah. – Were they eating a crepe? – He talked so fast I couldn’t understand a word he said. So I’m gonna aim for South Africa. No, I’m not going to aim for South Africa. Crepes are a European thing, man. Taking a little trip to the west coast of Europe. Portugal. (dark bangs) – What? (Rhett and Link yelling) What? – Hey, that’s a, that, I hit it, I hit it, y’all. I hit it. – Is this the first ever bullseye? – I hit. I hit it. I mean, that’s on top of the bullseye. – Chase, where were you at, man? This was a moment. You’re just sitting over there with your legs crossed. (Rhett laughs) – Making eyes at the camera. – I know. Watch the game. – I got excited to Ben. I got, Ben and I had a moment. – All right. You know what? – I blocked you outta Portugal. You can’t even aim there anymore. – I know, it’s like, I can’t even see there. – I don’t care if you have met someone from there. – Can’t even see the O. Now if I knock your dart out and then nestle my dart in where yours was, will you relinquish and take the maximum number of points on the board? – If you can knock my dart off and make a bullseye in Portugal, I will take 50 centimeters. – Are you gonna watch this? – I’m gonna watch. – All right. (Link exhaling) – I don’t think it’s gonna happen. (dart bangs) Whoa! – That was close. – Dang it. (Link yells) – Wow, whatever you did to did to do that, you should do it more often. – Dang man. Portugal’s like a dart magnet. (Rhett laughs) – [Stevie] Okay? You just ate a crepadilla, which is a quesadilla made with a crepe instead of a flower tortilla. – Beautiful. – [Stevie] The crepadilla is served in Taco Bells in poor old Colombia. – Ah. – Ah. – Dang it. – And I’m a little closer to Colombia. – You sure are, but man, I’m so far behind. – That is really good. I wanna eat more, but I gotta pace myself. We got more rounds. – [Stevie] You guys see what I did there? I mean, I’m not saying Colombia is a poor, old, you know, you see what I, I wanted to clarify. – It was just you were just deceptive. – You’re toying with our emotion. – [Stevie] Yeah, there we go. – Yeah, Rhett, you had 24 and Link, you had 23. – So we’re still pretty over bar. (Rhett and Link speak gibberish) (screen whooshing) ♪ Mmmba pa pa-pa-pa pa-pa ♪ – Okay, so this is the last one. I’m down by 40, 39 centimeters. – Not looking good for you, Link. I know you’ve got the gordida. – Gordidart. – Maybe you want to think about giving it to your old friend. The Linkster. What is this? – There’s something orange in there. – [Link] What is that orangeness? It’s like yam colored. – Is that a Cheeto? – Is that a Cheeto or is that a yam? – I think it might be a Cheeto that turned into a soggy thing. I like it though. – Soggy Cheeto worm. – Well, there’s no crunch at all. – It’s just odd. – Maybe if they had just made it two minutes ago and brought it out to you, there’d be some crunch. – You’re in the lead, so you get to go first and you do have the gordidart, which I can’t take. – Are you asking for it? (crew laughing) Okay. – I just need a fighting chance, you already had a jacket. – You can have the gordidart and you can put as much sauce on it as you want. So you might wanna go ahead and start saucing that thing up. Because any place sauce hits counts as your answer. – All right. – Which gives you a very big advantage, by the way. – I need it, dude. Thank you. Where are they gonna put Cheetos? – It’s a place where they know no boundaries, where they think outside of the bun. – But have Cheetos, it seems like the kinda thing that would happen in Japan or Indonesia, but it also is Cheetos, which feels like such a, like Western snack. You know what I’m saying? The fact that you’re gonna probably get right on whatever it is makes me think I’ve gotta aim in the middle and play defensively here. Because if I go for one answer West or east. – Go for the gusto, man. Leave nothing on the table. Assert yourself. Whatever. Cyprus has been taken. You’re just being defensive. All right. Oh my goodness. Look at that. That thing is juicy. It’s juicy. I’m just gonna flap her, I’ma flap it open. Just like spread it out. – That’s good. I already ate the whole thing. – I think this is Canada because they’re just throwing Cheetos in things, you know, just like, oh, that’d be nice. We’re nice. That’s nice. Let’s do it. (crew laughing) – Okay. – But again, I’ve gotta like spread the board. – [Chase] Oh yeah. – [Link] But this is not the most spreadable thing. – It looks great though. – Wabam, wabam, thank you ma’am. (board banging) Okay. – You knocked my dart off. – Knocked your dart off. But it was, where was it? It was right here. And then I got a little thingy there and I’m going all the way over. – Well, first of all, you got sauce in Canada, so if Canada’s the correct answer, then you got zero. – [Link] Yeah, that’s right. – Hey guys. – If it’s on the east part of the world – You okay? – Yeah, yeah, help me push up here. Thank you. Thank you. Stevie, what we got? – [Stevie] I wanted to make clear ’cause you can’t see me that I am wearing the jacket right now. – Okay, okay, of course. – [Stevie] I’m gonna have to toss this one to Davin though, to reveal. – Oh no. – [Davin] Hey guys, you just ate a Cheetos Crunchwrap slider made with seasoned ground beef with nacho cheese sauce, shredded cheddar cheese and crunchy jalapeno Cheetos, all wrapped in a flour tortilla. And this served at Taco Bells in. – Indonesia. – Canada. (Link yells) – Hang on, wait, wait. What’s your connection to Canada, man? – He was speaking Canadian. – Don’t play with my heart like that. – Do you know any French? – Okay, so that means Link got zero, so I just have to get less than 39 to win. – Yeah, so Link, you had zero and Rhett, you had 43. – No! – You know what? Thank you for giving me the gordidart. – I’m 43 centimeters from Canada. When do I get my jacket? – 43 centimeters. Lemme see my freaking jacket. Here we go. Come on. – I’m not giving up my, I’m not giving up my advantage dart next time. I’m never playing that way again. Never doing it again. – Thank you, Rhett. I won a Taco Bell hot sauce jacket. Oh, can’t get. Well, it looks great. I’ll put it on later. – We’ll get it on. – Thank you for Likee, mostly Likee for the experiment. – And communism’s growing. – You know what time it is. (screen whooshing) You just watched an episode, but the video’s not over because you’re just starting a marathon. It’s kinda like when you run a long ways, let’s say 26 miles. – Yeah. – And then you ran like four miles. – You’re not even cramping yet. – You thought it was over, but then no, remember, this is a marathon. – You don’t even need to grab one of those waters yet. Link, that was a win for you, which is- – Why I liked starting with it. – Which is a bit rare because I told you that we’ve done this format 56 times. – Yep. – I have won 40 out of the 56, which do the math on that for how many that you have won. 16 is the number that you’ve won and you won eight. Now that I think about this all the time, I’m just looking at it right here. Eight of your wins came in the first 20 episodes, so you were almost on a 50% clip there. And then- – What did you learn that I didn’t? – I don’t know. – How to guess, dude. I mean, you got- – I still can’t explain it. – You’re so freaking lucky. – Because I actually don’t think that I’m a, I don’t think I’m a better dart thrower than you. I don’t think that the evidence would show that I’m more accurate what I’m aiming at. I mean, maybe a better guess – You definitely had times. – But. – I mean, you’re probably a better dart thrower and you’re definitely a better guesser, but I’m so charismatic, right? (Rhett laughs) – Oh yeah, of course. – All right, so the next one we wanna show you is international soup. This one was from when? January. – January 15th, 2020. – Okay. – I mean, you know what, just look at the look in these boys’ eyes. They have no idea that their world is about to be turned upside down. – He’s talking about the pandemic. – Yeah. (screen whooshing) – Today we’re tasting scoops of international soups. – Let’s talk about that. (bright upbeat music) – Gooooood Mythical Morning – There’s a reason why soup is considered comfort food. It’s as warm as your mother’s loving embrace. It’s as filling as time spent with good friends. And you don’t need to worry about having teeth to eat it. – Oh. (both laughing) But how much can you tell about a place based on what’s in its soup? Today we’re gonna be slurping soups to see if we can guess which international ladle ladled them. It’s time for- ♪ Where In The World Do These ♪ ♪ International Soups Come From ♪ – All right, you know how this works. We’re gonna tasting some soups right here and it come from places all over there around the globe. And then we’re gonna guess where the soups came from by throwing a dart at our trustee map over here where Chase, the cartographer is exasperated. – Okay, the person with the lowest score in the end, wins a very valuable briefcase full of gold. What? can we do that Season 17? What? – Yeah. – Okay, Since I won last time we played this- – We rich. – Link gets the special advantage dart, which is a lota Matzah dart. That’s three Matzah balls to be thrown at the board with just one hand. Let’s get to slurping. (screen whooshing) ♪ Mmmba pa pa-pa-pa pa-pa ♪ – What in the world do we have here? – It’s purple soup. – [Rhett] Is that apples? – [Link] There’s like sliced free wits. – It kinda tastes like something that we would do in like a episode where we made something into soup that wasn’t supposed to be soup, like ice cream turned into soup. – Right, but somebody somewhere on this map actually does this. – Okay, where do they make a sweet soup that’s kinda like melted yogurt? You ever been to a New Caledonia or is it New Caledonia? Caledonia. – Caledonia. – Caledonia. – [Link] That’s way over there. I think you should go for it. – I know nothing about New Caledonia. There’s sort of a cluster of answers in the middle of the board. I could just play it safe and kinda aim for like Morocco and hope for the best. – Okay. – Which is what I’m gonna do. – All right. – He’s going for the center of the board because he’s a coward. – Coward, yes. – Now, you may not have picked up on this, but Rhett, that’s goat’s milk in there, which is very popular in Ghana. So I am aiming for Ghana. – Well, it’s pretty close to where I was. – [Link] Oh yeah, look at me! Yeah, it’s a new year. It’s a new me. What is this Stevie? Besides goats milk. – [Stevie] You just tried fruit soup. A hot creamy soup made with apples, sour cherries, vanilla, cream, cloves and lemon zest, no goats milk. – No goats milk. – [Stevie] It can also be enjoyed chilled. Fruit soup is from Hungary. – Oh, you lucky dog. – Hey, aim for the middle, hope for the best. – Get hungry and Hungary, y’all. – All right, Rhett, you had five and Link, you had 12. – Oh. – Hey, it’s not a bad start for either boy. (Rhett chuckles) (screen whooshing) ♪ Mmmba pa pa-pa-pa pa-pa ♪ – We got got a thick soup, some sort of gravy consistency. There’s like- – Is that a potato – Lotsa lumps – or a cauliflower? – [Link] And then this big thing. – What is the lumps? Okay, I know what meat that is. You’ll probably know as soon as you bite it. – Well, mine was bread. – Oh no, it’s coated. It’s coated in bread. – There it is. There’s some meat. This is a hearty dish. – But not from Hardy’s. – Hold on. That meat is very gamey. – I’m not gonna say what I know about that meat. – That’s a tough meat for meat to eat. – You know what? I’m just gonna say what it is. – Goat. – It’s lamb. – Oh. – It might be goat. ‘Cause lamb and goat do taste similar, but I have more experience with lamb and I know that there are more sheep than people in New Zealand. – Oh, New Zealand. – [Rhett] Which is not too far from New Caledonia. – Go for it. Now don’t go off the board. – I’m not going for New Caledonia. – Might hit Kiko, but when I think Mongolia, I think like, like if you get like a Mongolian soup, it usually is more clear and less creamy like, but that’s, you know, I don’t know. This has been translated to American food, so I probably don’t have an accurate representation. – At a certain point you gotta stop talking and start darting. – I’m going Morocco again. (dart banging) – [Link] Man! – [Rhett] Oh wow. – You did not hit Morocco. – My aim is on today. – But you got really close. Now is that goat? ‘Cause I’m going back to Ghana if it is. (Rhett laughing) – Going back to Ghana. – You know what? I feel like this is mountain goat soup. – Like Peru or Mongolia? – Mongolia. – [Rhett] I think that’s a good guess, man. I was there with you. But what about New Caledonia? – In order to even things up, well, you know what? I’m not a coward. I’m going straight from Mongolia. Hoppity poppity poppity poppity. Oh, a little low. – Okay. – What’s up Stevie? – [Stevie] This soup is called Banshtai Tsai, a soup with a salty milk tea broth and dumplings that are traditionally filled with mutton. So you’re correct. It’s from Mongolia. – Ah, you were right. – Yeah! But I just couldn’t nail it. But you made up a lot of ground. All right. Rhett, you had 33 and Link, you had nine. (Link claps) (bell chimes) – Pulling ahead. (screen whooshing) ♪ Mmmba pa pa-pa-pa pa-pa ♪ – I believe this is the spoon Link. – Oh,` we don’t get spoons with this? We just get like a big thing of bread? That bread is mushy and inviting. – There is no spoon. – There is no spoon. – So this is fish. Is that fish? Oh, this smells good. It’s a peanut sauce. (Link slurping) It was very fishy tasting. So it’s like the soup has fish cooked in it and around it. (crew laughing) I mean there’s enough peanut butter that makes me not ask to leave. – Try the fish, man. – I’ll try the actual fish. Yeah. That’s tough. – Peanut sauce. What is that? – I do like that bread though. Fish and peanut. Well, not something I’m used to. – Well, okay. – Now peanut sauce. I mean, I definitely think of Thailand, which is not an option. I don’t know. I don’t feel. You know what, I’m just gonna go for Thailand, even though it’s not an option. – I like it. I like the strategy. – All right. I’ve been there. Ate a lotta peanut sauce. (dart banging) There we go. – [Rhett] Aim for the country that’s not available. – Yeah, well I hit China, but whatever. And I’m not gonna get in your way, so. – Well, yeah, ’cause I’m so far behind. I’ve gotta make a big move ’cause you’ve got the advantage at the end. So I don’t know anything about peanut sauce and where it comes from other than Thailand, which you already threw a dart at and so. – I’m not gonna stake my claim. – I don’t want to throw a dart at the same place you did. But I’m going solely off the fact that there was no spoon offered, but yet a bread utensil. And I know that this is the kinda thing that happens in Africa ’cause I’ve been to an African restaurant one time and they don’t give you anything. They just put everything on top of a giant pancake. – Piece of bread. – And then you eat it with the bread. – Oh, you thinking Ghana? – So eating with bread is either Ghana or Morocco, but I’m gonna go for Ghana. – Oh gosh, you know what? (dart banging) I think that’s good reasoning, man. And it’s right there on the coast where all the fishes swim up and they get into peanut butter. – Yep. Yep. right, yep. – [Stevie] Okay, you just ate groundnut soup or peanut soup with tilapia and fufu. Groundnut soup is made from a peanut butter like paste, which is added to a base of tomatoes and water. And the fufu is made from boiled cassava. Groundnut soup is a favorite in Ghana. – Ghana. – Hey man, I gotta give it to you. – Woo. I didn’t throw a great throw though. I should have gotten closer. – Yeah, Link, you had 31 and Rhett, you had eight. – Oh. – Oh, ooh, okay. I think I closed the gap. (screen whooshing) ♪ Mmmba pa pa-pa-pa pa-pa ♪ – Oh, we’ve got some sort of green floaty stuff in a milk naked. It, it doesn’t smell good. (spoons clinking) (Link and Rhett slurping) It’s like spinachy. – It’s not bad. – Maybe asparagusy. – Now, you have slightly pulled ahead, which means you’ve gotta dart first. I don’t, I don’t dislike this. I feel like there’s a little health in it. There’s a little slurpiness in it and it’s, you see, it’s not bad. – Ah, okay, I gotta really think game strategy here, because going into the final round, you’re gonna have the Matzah ball and the splatter is gonna give you basically probably almost guaranteed a right answer. So I can’t play it safe. I have to be bold! And if I’m wrong, I’m wrong. – Do you think that they put new Caledonia and Falkland Islands on there just to screw with us? – I see where you’re going with this. I think they put one on there because it is the correct answer for one of ’em. And they were like, let’s do something else like another island nation on the other side of the world. You think they got time to thank this hard? (crew laughing) – Oh no, they’re trying to trick us constantly. – It’s their mission in life to make us look like fools. – I would think if it was from one of the islands, it would be like a fishy dish, oh man. Oh gosh. I have to make a choice. Something about the creaminess is making me think Norway. I don’t feel good about it though. I don’t feel good about this guess at all. But I’m just going on instinct Norway. (dart banging) – Speaking of going on instinct, I just feel like Falkland Islands is on there just to Falkland Islands with us. – ‘Cause they wanted to hear us say Falkland Islands? – But yes, but New Caledonia is where this came from. – Now if you, okay, if you miss the board, you automatically get 50 centimeters and you’re basically handing me the game. So don’t miss. – I ain’t gonna miss this board. – Don’t go wide right. – I’m not missing the board. – Don’t go wide right. – Just stop making me nervous. – Yeah, don’t make him nervous. – Just concentrate. (dart banging) – Oh, a little high. – Ah. – Stevie. – Okay. This is called lettuce soup. It’s made of lettuce leaves, flour, onion, and chicken stock. Lettuce soup is enjoyed by the people of a small group of islands, specifically, the Falkland Islands. – No Falkland way! (Rhett clapping) – Oh man! – No! – I got so lucky. – All right, Rhett, you had 49 and Link, you had 75. (Rhett laughs) – Whew. – Well, I have a chance, I got a chance.

Why don’t you put that bean in your mouth and crunch. – Oh no. It’s a little trilobyte. You got a trilobyte soup, have you? – [Rhett] It’s something in the larval stage. – Oh my gosh. – All right. Enjoy. It’s not bad. – Spicy. Crunchy. – It is spicy. I’ve had worse soups. You ever been to Souplantation? (crew laughing) Speaking of worse soup. Yeah. – I’ve had worse soups at Souplantation. – And they’re our sponsor today. (both laughing) I don’t know. I didn’t love the thought of that. – okay, again, this is all, it all comes down to strategy at this point. – 32 centimeters difference. – What we’ve learned is that 32 centimeters seems like a big lead until it is erased by three Matzah balls that are splattered onto the board. So I can’t just do the safe play and just guess in the middle. – Yeah. – I know that in South America they do eat bugs in things from time to time. I can see this happening maybe in Morocco. But I’m leaning more towards Peru. But again, the wild card is New Caledonia. And if New Caledonia is the correct answer and I go for Peru, I’m basically handing you the game. – Yeah, maybe in that little island, they don’t have a lot of big creatures roaming around. They just got little crawls. – Why do they have New Caledonia on this map? Is it to throw us off or is it because it is the correct answer? These are the questions that will keep me up tonight. Well, actually, I’ll know the answer in a second. (crew laughing) This decision will keep me up tonight if I am wrong. Okay, I’m gonna hedge my bet since there’s two reasonable guesses on the left side of the board. So I’m gonna just go kind of in the Atlantic Ocean between Peru and Morocco. – All right. (dart banging) Ooh. Okay. You’ve aimed at what you intended and I have soaked these on multiple sides. Boy, that looks like it could really stain. I don’t know, I actually think this is also the Falkland Islands. I think they doubled up. – You think they went double Falkland? – Falkland twice. – Did you guys go double Falkland? – You know what they say once you Falkland Island. – You gotta Falkland again. – Okay, I got to use one hand to get all three of these going. – What are you gonna do? What’s your strategy here? – I’m gonna go for your dart in order to insulate my guess. – And then maybe splatter towards Caledonia? – Why you want me to do that? – Well, because the only way to beat me at this point is to me to not be right and it to be on the right side of the board. Why am I giving you tips? – No, what if it’s Peru? – If it’s Peru, you can’t win. ‘Cause I’m definitely not 30 whatever centimeters away from Peru. – All right, here we go. – Good. – Chase, can you hold this bowl? – Oh sure. – Three, two. I think one of ’em went in my trash can. – I think my dart went in your trash can. – Yeah, the dart fell. Okay, so I’ve gone all around your darts and your dart fell out. – I do remember where my dart was if that’s any consolation, it’s right there. – [Chase] Okay. – Okay. Stevie, we know these are larva of some sort. – [Stevie] You just ate silkworm soup made from silkworms. It’s a delicacy in South Korea. – Oh my. – Silkworm larva. – Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. – All right. Link, you had 27. Rhett, you had 46. – That’s less than 30 whatever. Which means I retain the title. Woo! – You did it! – Thank you, silkworms. – Just barely. And we didn’t know these silkworms. That would’ve helped a lot. – Oh, you know what I won? I won a briefcase full of gold. – Gold bouillon. – Oh. – It’s beef bouillon. – I love beef bouillon. You ever been to Souplantation? (crew laughing) – Not a sponsor. Thanks for scribing and clicking that bell. – You know what time it is. (screen whooshing) – What did we just see? What were we just watching? – We were just watching the soup one. – Oh yeah. We just watched that. Hungary, Mongolia, Ghana, Falkland Islands. I think that’s the only time that we got Falkland Island. – Yeah. – Did. – And we should do that more often. Can we just, I mean, can we just have the Falkland Islands on there just if like, as a comfort country, just, I mean, is it really gonna hurt you? – It’s always on there. It’s on the map, Rhett. Every country is always on the map. – From here on out, maybe. – Absolutely. Yeah. – Okay. He said yeah. – He said absolutely. Just so we can say it and just so we can see it. Just so. – Okay. So there you have it. The reason why the map’s always gonna point out Falkland Islands is because we re-watched this episode with you, it’s part of the marathon. – It’s fun. It’s fun. You know what else is fun? – Do you need a pee break yet? It’s early. – There’s a pause button. You could pee or you know, or you could just carry your device, your television that you’re watching this on to the bathroom with you. And watch the International Waffles episode, because that’s what you’re about to see. This is from this year, February, 2022. Maybe you’ve already forgotten it. Let’s find out. – Roll it. (screen whooshing) Let go of that Eggo. We’re going international. – Let’s talk about that. (bright upbeat music) Gooooood Mythical Morning. – Now I always thought that waffles had a time and a place. Breakfast and a kitchen table. – And I always thought waffles were just a reservoir for my syrup. – Well, I think we’re both wrong. – Or maybe just a little too American. – Yep, today we’re busting out of our American waffle matrix to see how people are eating waffles all around the world. It’s time for- ♪ Where In The World Do These ♪ ♪ International Waffles Come From ♪ – You know how we do. We’re gonna try a particular waffle dish native to somewhere on the globe. Then we’re gonna throw a dart at wherever we think that type of waffle comes from. Now Chase is out of town at a cartographer convention. It’s something he’s really into, of course. So Josh is filling in as our waffle vision cartographer. – It is I, Waffle Vision. My superpower is, I use the tape measure a little bit worse than Chase. (crew laughing) – Yeah. – It’s hard. – He’s gonna learn so much. – Yes. – But right now I’m just trying to decipher the connection between, I think it’s Wanda vision. – Yeah. His vision. – Your vision. – That’s the pun. – But the connection to- – Wanda Vision. – Waffle. – Popular show. Waffle almost sounds like Wanda. – Yeah. Yeah. It starts the same. I get it. I’m on board. – Okay. Waffle Vision. Thank you for filling in for Chase. He’s gonna learn so much. When he comes back, he’s gonna know. – Oh, I was like, Josh isn’t gonna learn anything. – No, Josh, you’re not gonna learn anything. – I learned that this job is very confusing at times. – Whoever has the lowest amount of centimeters at the end of the game wins. And Rhett, you lost last time. – I sure did. – So you get this special advantage dart this time around the flying saucer. That’s a berry colored, well, it’s covered. – Okay. – And it’s probably, it’s probably colored – Berry colored and covered waffle- – with the same version of berries. – That you can Frisbee at the board. – And the winner wins the most American waffle in America. – All right.

I can see something leaking out. I’m gonna, I’m just gonna bite it right out of the fish. I really don’t like that Link won last time. Winning is my thing. – I didn’t hear anything. – What? – Nothing. I didn’t get any of the dartness. It’s back here. – Is this like figs? – It’s good. It’s sweet. It’s not chocolate. – It’s like a fig newton. – I’m going first. – Yeah, Link. You’re going first, man. – Okay. (Link squirms) – It’s good. – Yeah. – What is that? A bean paste. A sweet bean paste. Thailand’s on the board. Bean paste. Could be Japan. – [Rhett voiceover] If I could time this fart just right. That’ll really throw ’em off. – Don’t. – Don’t what? – Don’t fart. Okay. I’m gonna hedge my Betsy little bit. – What are you going for? – I’m going a little bit to the west of Thailand. The corn capital of the world. – Yeah, corn on the cob on the beach. – Here we go. (dart banging) Oh yeah. That works for me. – I believe that this is either Japan or Thailand because of the bean paste. – And because he’s copying me. – How does it feel? The fun times that go into making a fish waffle- – It feels fine, okay? – It feels like something that you would see in the place that I’ve always wanted to go, but never been able to go, you know, and I can actually say it. I can say it, it’s not a problem, Tokyo. That’s what it makes me think of. – Oh, did you say Tokyo? – What? (bell ringing) (bell ringing continues) (Rhett humming) Japan. (dart banging) Gosh. – Oh, you lobbed it. I like that. – And I’m horrible. – I like that. – [Stevie] These adorable waffles are called Taiyaki, named for the fish they resemble, which is also a symbol of good luck. They traditionally come with a red bean filling, but can also be filled with custard, chocolate or sweet potato. These snacks were first sold in 1909 and are still enjoyed today in Japan. – Ah. But I don’t think I’m any closer than Japan than you. – Maybe a little. – Link, you, Morgan told me to stand with my elbow near Canada. Link, you got 12 centimeters. Rhett, you got 16 centimeters. – Oh, I was actually further away. – Yeah, you are. I don’t know how. – I don’t believe that, Josh. – That doesn’t sound right. (crew laughing) – I think he might need to switch that. – Give me one second. – Wait, can we get Chase on the line? (crew laughing) Like, can he get into like a little enclave at the conference? – No, no, no Link, you got 16, Rhett, you got. – Okay. Thank you. Thank you. (crew laughing) – You should have seen me do the scoreboard for girls basketball games in high school, it was worse. – Hey, Link did too. – You did? – Yeah, I did that. – Yeah! – Enough, you forget to add the point sometimes. – Yeah, right. – [Josh] Get real mad.

Potato waffles. – Where do they love potatoes so much that they decided to just put it into a waffle? Last time or at some point on this show, I seemed to imply, I’m sorry that I thought that Ireland was in the UK. I didn’t actually think that, it was a little bit of a brain fart, I know that I’m kinda from there, even though I thought I was from Scotland. I wanna apologize to the people of Ireland. I know that you are your own country. It’s Northern Ireland that’s in UK, right? (crew laughing) Sorry. – Pretty messed up, Rhett. – [Rhett] There’s gotta be potatoes in Northern Ireland, which is in the UK. – [Josh] It’s like listed separately a lot.

What? Your shoulder’s bad? – It’s been bad for a while. – What do you mean your shoulder’s bad? The thing is, you might have gotten lucky and landed right there on Senegal as the right answer. Is it Western Africa or Eastern Africa over there at Kenya where they like to potato fry their waffles? – They’re pretty good. – You were trying to go for the UK, I mean, the potato of it all definitely makes sense up there. He left the door open for me. – Oh, okay. – I’d feel really bad if I didn’t copy him. Just because you shame me into copying him so much when I really need to this time. I’m gonna try to just throw better than you. – Okay. (dart banging) – Oh yeah! Now tell me, Stevie. – [Stevie] A popular breakfast or snack food. These potato waffles can be paired with eggs, meads, baked beans, even fish sticks.

You’re welcome. I would’ve guessed that anyway. – I gave you the lead, – I wasn’t copying you. – I gave you the lead so that you have to make a decision on your own, this is all part of the plan, it’s fine. – Rhett is red.

He won’t see that coming. I love you. – I didn’t see that coming. (crew laughing) – What?

Deep fried, light as a feather goodness. I think Africa’s calling me, Senegal. The thing is, the way these things are made, it’s like there’s a- – Mold. – There’s like a mold. – [Rhett] It sits on that mold. – And it could be, I’m just really feeling that it’s a Senegalese thing. – Okay. – And it’s in the middle of the map too, so I like that. (dart banging) Oh yeah. – Dang. – My aim is pretty good today. – It’s really good. This reminds me of those things that you see on those carts. There’s the deep fried things that they sell in the park. And I believe that it’s reminiscent of something from Latin America, which would send me to Panama. But it might, this may go all the way down to Argentina. – Argentina. – [Rhett] I’m gonna split the difference between those two. (dart banging) – Oh, look at you. I don’t feel threatened at all. – Yeah, I’m not really any closer to either of the answers that I wanted to be at. – [Stevie] You just tried rosette’s, sweet fritters made with a rosette iron dipped in batter, and then deep fried in oil, topped with powdered sugar or icing. Rosettes are traditionally made at Christmas time in their home country of Norway. – Oh dang it. – Oh, we were both off. – Man, I don’t know if I’m gonna win even with a cheat. – [Stevie] And they’re also enjoyed throughout Scandinavia for those in the comments section. – Link, you got 23, Rhett, you got 44. – Oh. – Ooh. – Hurts, don’t it? – Yeah, it hurts bad, man.

This green ice cream, I wonder if that’s a hint. – Well, it’s, yeah. Yeah. This is a sealed deal at this point. – This is up for, up for anywhere on the map. It’s a mystery round. The flavor of this green, I don’t know, would this be like green tea ice cream or something? – Or something. – It’s very subtle. – [Rhett] It’s very good. – And you’ve got your advantage dart. – Yeah, but I believe the only way that you could lose at this point is by missing the board and getting an automatic 50. – I’ve seen this somewhere. So maybe we’re back in like a Indonesian type vibe. So I’m gonna go for that zone. – [Rhett Voiceover] Little does Link know I’ve switched his glasses for a non-prescription hipster dupe. (crew laughing) – Little, little late for that. – Yeah, yeah, I should have done that round one. (crew laughing) What? – Wabam! (dart banging) – Oh my gosh. You almost missed the board. – It slipped outta my hand. – That would’ve been the most epic Link moment in the history if that had to happen. Oh my gosh. – That was my only hope. And I was like, oh, it’s gonna miss. – And I know. It felt like it was in slow motion and it, like, it just kinda whimpered. – I mean, this is obviously from an Asian country with the green tea ice cream and the fun bubbleness of it all. Honestly, this might be fun – Can I? – to throw, but I’m not gonna win whether or not I throw this or not. And I just feel like I don’t need to make anybody clean this up. – [Stevie] I love that. (crew laughing) – That’s big of you. You know what I’m saying? It’s like, why clean this up? Y’all just enjoy this. Okay? – You know, you’re gonna lose, so you’re trying to be the hero? – No, I’m just like, I’m just like, why take the time to get dirty, to get that dirty, to potentially get stains on the crew just to throw a waffle that has no chance of winning. I mean, what would be more interesting is if I actually hit the country that this is and then you can let me win. – Oh yeah. I ain’t gonna do that. – No, I’ll just throw it into the general vicinity of where I think it is. – [Link] Oh, you hit Thailand. – That’s a new technique. – [Stevie] Bubble waffles also known as egg waffles were originally broken into pieces and each bubble was sold individually. Nowadays they’re filled with ice cream and are usually topped with whipped cream and chocolate syrup. You can find these waffles also known as Gei Dan Jai or Little Chicken Eggs in Cantonese in Hong Kong. – Oh, I’m pretty close to that. – [Link] Not close enough. – Do you wanna know how close you are? – Yeah. I like your super, super gestures. – Thanks, man, I’m trying it on for size. Rhett, you got six, Link, you got 28. – Wow. Which doesn’t bridge the gap somehow. – Wow, two in a row, Link. 2022. – Two in a row in a 2022. I may get three in a row. – Is it three in a row? – If we’re going to last year. I don’t know for sure, but Okay, yeah. It looks like I win the most American waffle. Boy, I’m glad this is what I’ve won. – You wanna dip it in some berries? – No, I would just like to nibble on Maine. – Dang it. I gotta admit I still love Link’s smile when he’s winning. (crew laughing) Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell. – You know what time it is. (screen whooshing) I loved this one, you know, but I just so happened to also win it. – Well, and actually- – Two in a row. – Yeah. This was your two in a row streak. – Yeah, ’cause you were pretty hung up on me winning the previous one. – Well. – Judging by your thoughts. – Yeah. The way I was thinking out loud. But a lotta people began to talk about how 2022 was gonna be a different year for you. Like. – I remember that. – And how did, I mean, how did you feel about that? – I didn’t like it. – Well, you didn’t like it? – I was like, oh, I gotta put a stop to this. (Rhett chuckles) – Whoa, that explains, a lot. – I just felt like, I was just. (Link coughs) I’m coughing. – I almost hit you on the back, but I realize I can’t touch that shoulder anymore. – Yeah, don’t do that. – I need to put a yellow sign on it. – Yeah. Just a big red X. – Christy smacked me last night on it. – I saw that. – You were there. – I was there. – You saw it. She felt- – Well, you deserved it. I don’t remember what you did. – She didn’t do it on purpose. Well, she smacked me on purpose, but she forgot that- – She forgot that is was your bad shoulder. – That it was broken.

We’ve crafted a very special live event for that week called Bleak Creek Conversations. – Yeah. – Now the tickets are limited and each one comes with a copy of the book. – What? Each one comes with a book? – With a copy of the book, Link. A ticket, and a book in your hands. So scoop ’em up, go to bleakcreek.com. – Speaking of scary, it was a hot movie weekend, y’all, with “It Chapter Two,” giving Clowns All Over The World A Bad Name. Isn’t that right, one of the stars of “It Chapter Two,” Nic Hamilton?” (sign whooshing) – That’s correct, risen Link. (crew laughing) – Woo. There he was. – Also speaking of scary, I’m gonna be throwing darts again today. – Yes, you are. Now movie goers around the world are screaming at scary clowns while throwing back their favorite cinema snack. And today we find out what sorts of strange food movie lovers across the globe are shoving down their gullets. It’s time for- ♪ Where In The World Do These ♪ ♪ International Movie Theater Snacks Come From ♪ – Okay, here’s what we’re gonna do. We’re gonna try a concession stand snack served in a movie theater somewhere around the world. And we’re gonna guess what country sells that movie theater snack by throwing a dart at that country on the map over here. And we’ve got Chase the theater cartographer. – Yeah, I got an usher’s hat thing. – Yeah. – Don’t raise your, don’t raise your hands above your head. – Sorry. – It’s too revealing. – Well, it’s already, it kinda is just revealing as he stands there, so. – He’s gonna measure how far our dart is from the correct answer. – Okay, and the person with the lowest score at the end, of course is the winner and now listen, I mean, Link shook things up last time. I shouldn’t have given him my new secret, but he won last time. And that means that I get a special advantage this time. I get the pop-dart, a handful of popcorn coated and melted chocolate that I can use whenever I please. – I know your secret. The winner gets a bowl full of Butterfingers and no, it’s not what you think. (movie reel clicking) ♪ Mmmba pa pa-pa-pa pa-pa ♪ – What is happening here? – We have some sort of stack situation.

Well, it’s weird because- – By sipping Coke through it? – When I’m drinking the Coke, it starts to taste like fried chicken because that’s all I’m smelling. – You’re calling it fried chicken. I know it is. But typically I would call this like an orange chicken, or- – Well, let’s see if it’s orange. – Yeah. – Pretty much orange chicken. – This happens at a movie theater somewhere? – All right, since you’re getting the advantages this time, because I’m the reigning champ in the short term for darts, I’m gonna go first giving you the advantage. – Why don’t you keep your chicken on the dart? That would be great. – No, I’ll just save that for later. Now, because this, I mean it’s orange chicken on rice. You know, this is like a East Asian type situation, right? I mean, I’m just gonna get, I gotta throw over there towards South Korea. – Don’t forget if you miss the board entirely, it is 50 centimeters automatically. – Here we go, South Korea. – Don’t get too close to the edge. – [Link] Oh. – [Chase] Not bad. – [Link] Look. Yeah, thank you Chase. – I mean, yeah, this has gotta be in the area that you threw it in, right? But which one is it? I’m actually leaning more towards Philippines because in my experience he Philippines have been a little bit more experimental with this kinda thing, like stacking things and this, it just fells. – You ever been there? – No, but I’ve been on the Internet. – In your experience with the Philippines on the Internet. (dart banging) – Okay, a little lower seemed to be what you wanted. – [Stevie] You just ate chicken pile, which is a serving of boneless chicken thighs glazed in honey soy sauce served on top of rice, on top of a fountain drink. Chicken pile is sold at movie theater concession stands in the Philippines. – Dang, Rhett! – Woo! Dang, I almost hit it. – Yep. Link had 12 and Rhett had four. – Oh. Nice. – Ooh.

Okay, here we go. – All right, Rhett, you’re gonna toss first this time. – Okay, again, I’ve spent a lotta time on the Internet, and what I know about prune flavor is that it’s used in Asian cooking, but it’s also something, there’s like, I might call it plum rather than prune, which think about it, plum is prune. I learned that one last week. I think this is in India, is what I’m getting at, is they have that plumb sauce that you can get. – Oh, with the naan? – Yeah, you can get with a naan, and I think that this is an iteration on that. So I’m going for- – Seems like a stretch to me. Go for it. – In India. (dart banging) Oh man. – Ooh, you almost hit India, which is the wrong answer. – Okay. – I’ve got a lot of experience on the Internet with Portugal. – Oh. – Maybe it’s just ’cause it starts with a P and so does prunes. – That’s a good reason. – So I’m thinking Portugal. (dart banging) Ooh. – Man, that technique is really, I mean. – Yes. Thank you for that. – You get so close to what you guess now. (Link laughs) It’s not as fun as it used to be. – Yeah, it was so, it was so Rhett. – It used to so far away from your guess. – Are you at ease now, chase? – I definitely am. You seem a lot more confident in your throwing. – Is this prune juice? – [Stevie] This is not prune juice. It’s called Kvass, which is a fermented Slavic beverage made from rye bread and commonly referred to as black bread. And it’s served in movie theaters in Russia. – Oh. – Ooh. – Yeah. Which is pretty close to India. Okay, so you’re measuring to like the dot on that one? – Yeah, that’s been the rule for like three years, man. It’s a questionable rule, but it’s the rule. – All right, Link had 26 and Rhett had 17. – Oh, thanks for falling behind. – It ain’t over. (movie reel clicking) ♪ Mmmba pa pa-pa-pa pa-pa ♪ – Looks like we got squid, Link. – Oh, man, there’s like- – We’ve been squidded. – There’s like the heads of squid and then there’s like the tails of squid. Or is that the legs? – I don’t think I’ve enjoyed this part of the squid before. – Yeah, I mean, fried squid is, is fine because it’s fried, but this is difficult for me. – It’s not bad. It’s not good. – There’s stuffed inside of it. Is that squid guts? – Yeah. – You’re sure it’s not like cottage cheese? – I think that’s just what the inside of a squid looks like. I don’t know. (Link gags) – They should have got rid of that. – Wouldn’t you wanna eat that while you’re watching a movie though? What? Okay, you don’t want that happening next to you when you’re trying to really get into a movie, so. – Right. That’s worth than being on your phone. (Link gagging) – Okay. I’m in the lead. I’m still gonna go first here. It feels like the obvious answer is when seafood finds its way into situations that most people in the west would find disagreeable, it’s usually something that’s coming from an Asian country. So, just going by that logic, I would say this is Indonesia or South Korea. Man, but that’s, if I’m wrong and it’s, oh, it’s Brazil or Colombia, right? But you know what? You gotta go with your instincts. South, South. – You’re up by 17, so. – South Korea. (dart banging) – Oh, going for the Gusto. – Or Philippines. – I’m still thinking Portugal. – Okay. – I mean, there’s a little squid everywhere. They’re just squidding all around the ocean. – [Rhett] It is a seafood heavy country. – I gotta hedge my bets a little bit. Halfway between your Dart and Portugal. Badam! Right there. – Nice. – [Stevie] Okay. – You just ate buttered squid, which is a chewy treat that’s grilled, buttered and tossed with soy sauce. Buttered squid is served in movie theaters in South Korea. – Oh. – Dang it, guy. All right. I’m glad I went to the right some. So you’re not pulling that far ahead. – Yeah, yeah, I mean, it wasn’t that big of a difference. – Okay, Rhett had nine and Link had 20. (bell dinging) (Link hissing) (movie reel clicking) ♪ Mmmba pa pa-pa-pa pa-pa ♪ – Got one little ramekin here. What? Are these ants? – They look to be ants. – [Link] What is this big black thing? Like a tail or an ant antler? – Well, let’s eat it, find out. Got a real bad aftertaste. (Link coughs) – The aftertaste is like the woman who was my babysitter when I was in like early grade school. It’s like her breath. – Oh, the aftertaste of your babysitter? – Her breath is like this aftertaste. – That sounds like something you flip through very quickly in the info guide on your cable. (everybody laughing) No, no, no. We’re not gonna watch that. (laughing continues) – Oh gosh. So I’m losing. So you’re gonna- – So I’m going first again. – You’re gonna dart again. – So you’re gonna have the advantage of the reasoning that I’m about to say. I don’t know if it’s gonna be good reasoning. – Gosh, it’s horrible. Now, okay, again, Asian countries have shown a propensity to be probably the most adventurous in food, you know, on the planet, I would say. So you would think- – Which planet? – Insects at the theater. Oh, this has gotta be probably Indonesia, because that’s the last East Asian country that’s left. But I know for a fact that ants are a big part, like large ants is a very South American thing. I think that this is probably Brazil, but because I have a lead, I’m going to kinda just hedge my bets and aim at Africa. (dart banging) – Okay, he has hit Africa which is not an option. I’m gonna make this simple on myself. I’m performing so horribly today. Instead of thinking about this, I’d rather consult one of the stars of “It Chapter Two.” Nic Hamilton. – I’m Nic Hamilton. (Rhett and Link laughing) – Hey, Nic. – How you doing? – I’m doing good. – What have you got? – Well, I’ve got ants. – Okay. I’ve always wanted to try that. It’s flavored in some, that’s, I don’t like it. I don’t like it. – There’s a second taste. – Don’t like it. Yeah. – That’s weird. That has a taste, oh, the taste is weird. – Now, you’re from the land down under. – I am. But it’s not there. – Right. So is that gonna help you help me? – I mean, we’re close to Asia and I don’t recognize it, so I don’t think it’s Asia. I mean, Rhett said Brazil, but then hedged his bets, So I’m thinking we just go straight on Brazil. – All right. I’m gonna aim for Colombia because that might, that might, that’s how I’m gonna hit Brazil. – Oh, fair, okay. – Gotcha. (dart banging) – Ooh, a little high. – [Nic] Should have aimed for Brazil. – All right, Stevie. – Okay, so you were right. You did just eat ants. Roasted ants. Leaf cutter ants are believed to be an aphrodisiac and are served at traditional weddings and in movie theaters all over the country of Colombia. – Oh. – Well, happy movie watching. – We got it. (Rhett chuckling) – Yeah, Rhett had 27 and Link had eight. – All right. – Oh. – We’re pulling back closer. Thanks to star “It Chapter Two,” Nic Hamilton. – I don’t wanna eat anymore ants, so I’ll leave, that’s good. (movie reel clicking) ♪ Mmmba pa pa-pa-pa pa-pa ♪ – Is this chicken wings? – Some sort of fried mushy thing. – It’s plantains. Oh man, these are so good. – And there’s a dip. – There’s like caramel sauce. That’s the best thing that I’ve had this entire show. – Wow. (crew laughing) And- – I could eat that in a movie theater. – That’s great movie theater food for real. Now Link- – You’re still winning, so. – I’m winning, so I can go first, but I am going to employ my pop-dart because I’ve never gotten a cheat before and I wanna use it. – Fried banana. – You want me to do that? You want me to go now? – Yeah, ’cause I at least want some advantage to go second. – So the rule is anywhere there’s chocolate, you can measure from. – [Link] Got it. Well, there’s also a rule about how much chocolate you can put on the popcorn and it’s now. Stop. Stop. All right man. It is not gonna be easy to clean up all of that chocolate. – I mean, I could miss the board altogether. – That would make it worse to clean up. – I mean, that could happen. I might have, I gonna have to get. – oh, you’re gonna, you’re not gonna put it in your hand first and then toss it? – No, I’m gonna toss the either the whole thing or just the contents at the board. I think I’m gonna do the contents of the board, ’cause it’s like a shotgun level spread. I’ve never gotten a cheat before. I wanna do it right. – Sometimes it doesn’t help. – I know, I’m almost positive the answer is Brazil. – Okay. – And I should just throw a dart at it, but I want to use the cheat. Here we go. (everybody laughing) Okay. I almost missed. – Okay. – The thing is, it’s not Brazil, it’s Portugal. I’ve got a connection with Portugal. – Yeah, these are really good. Could have just thrown the freaking dart, man. – All right. Let’s see, so for strategic purposes, I am gonna aim for Brazil, but my answer is Portugal. For the win. (dart banging) Ah, man it. (everybody laughing) – It’s gonna be close, man. – All right, Stevie. – [Stevie] It’s a fried banana, but I’m gonna let Davin take it from here. (Davins speaks in foreign language) – [Davin] Indonesia. – Indonesia. – Man, there’s a- – I’ll be, dang it. There’s some chocolate over there next to Indonesia, Isn’t their Link? – [Chase] There is right there. – I’ll tell you. They got it figured out over there. – Rhett had 14 and Link had 59. (Rhett laughs) – All right, Rhett. – Wow that cheat really, you know, having a cheat- – But bring in the butter figures. – Really helps. – I a gift for Rhett. (Nic speaks gibberish) – Oh. Thank you. (crew laughing) – [Nic] It’s Butterfingers. It’s butter and fingers. – [Rhett] Thank you. Oh, and look, I can just, I can put ’em on. – I would recommend not, but that’s fine. – Oh my gosh. That is not appetizing. – I don’t enjoy it. – I’m a winner. I’m a winner again. Thanks Nic. – No worries, I’ll leave that. (crew laughing) – Ew! (crew laughing) – Buttery. – Thanks for liking, commenting and subscribing. – You know what time it is. (screen whooshing) – I gotta say, I think I sort of prefer the options that I have at my local theater. When I go into- – I know and buttered squid, any roasted ants. – I’d rather have Rolos. – What about just Nic Hamilton showing up randomly? – What a guy. – What a guy. He’ll just show up randomly. You gotta watch out for that. – Yeah. – One of the stars of “It Chapter Two.” – “It Chapter Two.” – Yes, he was. He was. Now these, these maps, you never know what you’re gonna get with those. What goes into like, the color schemes here? Sometimes it’s related to the- – Most often it is. – To the food type, right? – Yeah, so, I mean, sometimes you get foods like soup. So it’s kind of hard to- – The color of soup is what? – I don’t know what to do, though, I don’t know what to do for the color of soup, but. – But the one in the, the movie one, it was almost like a- – A marquee. – It was like a marquee, yeah. – Now when you made that marquee, did that make the whole map smaller? – Yes. – Yeah. Just slightly. – Just a little bit. – ‘Cause he made- – He made it easier for us. – Maybe that’s your problem. – Did I? – Maybe you didn’t, you haven’t been accounting for- – You think that makes it harder? – You haven’t been accounting for how the world changes, – Everything’s closer together when it gets smaller, that should be easier. – Yeah. But you’re the same distance from it. – But then the map is the same size. – And your accuracy is the same to the same degree or, you know, same degree of accuracy or inaccuracy. – Wow, man, just breathe in through your nose, out through your mouth, that’s what you’re do in marathons. – Do you realize that it’s somebody’s birthday today? Approximately one in 365 of mythical beasts are experiencing a birthday today. – Yep, and for you, I say happy birthday and this episode- – Oh, does this come out on the Christmas? – 26th. – The 26th. Oh, yesterday was Jesus’s birthday. – Yep, I bet you there’s some people who think it’s a different date. – Yeah, yeah, yeah. Even though that it’s really just a tradition. They don’t really know. They don’t have any idea. They just, I think it was a Pagan holiday at some point. And then they just decided it’d make it the same. I don’t know how it works. – I don’t know how- – Happy birthday to the Pagan. To the pagan baby that was there before. I don’t know how it works. – What are you talking about? Who’s the pagan baby? – I don’t know, I just, the day of the 25th is just, – Did you call Jesus a Pagan baby? – No, I’m just saying that they just came up with that. They’re like, oh yeah, the 25th. Because there was some other thing. I don’t really know. Go on Wikipedia, figure it out. – Are you thinking about Halloween? – No. No. That’s Satan’s birthday. That’s different. That’s the opposite. – Happy birthday to you if it’s your birthday. – Yes. – And no matter where you are in the world, this one came out on December 14th, 2020. – Because, and the reason you’re talking about birthdays is ’cause this is international birthday foods, there it is. That’s the segue that we were looking for. (crew laughing) – We got it. (screen whooshing) What are they eating for birthdays in Sweden? – Let’s talk about that. (bright upbeat music) Gooooood Mythical Morning Mythical Morning. – We are about to throw some darts and find out what people eat for the birthdays around the world. It’s birthdays, that’s right. Here in the States, we’ve been known to get down on some cake when celebrating getting one year older. But what do birthdays taste like around the globe? It’s time for ♪ Where In The World Are These ♪ ♪ Birthday Treats At Parties ♪ – Hey, you know how this goes. We’re gonna try a dish that people eat on their birthdays as per a tradition in a certain country on the map. Then we’re gonna guess by throwing a dart at that map. And then Chase the birthday boy cartographer’s gonna measure how far dart. (both speaking gibberish) – How to fart a dart. (both laughing) How you doing, chase? – Good. – Yeah. Good. He’s doing great. He’s doing good. – Whoever has the lowest score at the end is the winner. And Rhett, you won last time, so I get the advantage dart again? – Yes. – What is it? – It is the fun darty cake. It’s a slice of Funfetti cake you get to throw at the board. – Okay, the winner of this thing gets to hit a birthday pinata in “Good Mythical More.” – Yes. (screen whooshing) – [Kids] Yay! – Look at those sprinkles. – This appears to be crustless bread with sprinkles on it. Period. That’s it. – Yeah. – Is there something else to taste? – It’s white bread. There’s something sugary on the bread. It’s actually not that bad. – It’s really good. I think there’s something, there’s a little bit of milk in the bread I think. So, you’re going first. Woo. When you get that much sprinkles in your mouth, you really start to crunch. – [Rhett] Let me see. I mean, I got nothing to go on here. – [Link] Simple, elegant. – But the last time we had something that was like a sandwich and it was just white bread and it turned, it was from Japan, that’s where I’m getting at. – That was a while back. – Japan is not an option. South Korea is close to Japan, but I don’t feel confident in that answer. So I’m gonna hedge my bets a teeny beanie bit. So I’m kinda, I’m on the eastern side, but I’m a little bit left of it. Okay, yeah. So like Pakistan. – So you almost hit Pakistan. I’m start, I’m feeling Vietnam. That’s what I’m thinking. For all the reasons you said. You know, I’m gonna go with my gut early and then I may have to play defense. Vietnam assertively. – Okay. – Oop, a little low. – [Stevie] Okay, you just had fairy bread, which is sliced white bread, spread with butter and covered in sprinkles. – Butter. – Butter, milk. – That’s what that was. – [Stevie] Or as they call them in the country this is from hundreds and thousands. The first mention of fairy bread was in a newspaper article from 1929, which mentioned children enjoying it at a birthday party, at a sanatorium in Tasmania. And this is now a beloved birthday party favorite all over Australia. – Oh wow, look at that, Link with your little dip down there. You actually got closer to the right answer. – Yeah, fate is pulling me via pity. – All right, Rhett, you had 30, Link, 10. – Oh. – Yeah. – Oh, uh-oh. Uh-oh, uh-oh. (screen whooshing) – [Kids] Yay! – Well, I’ve never had this for one of my birthday parties. – It’s like, looks like a nest. Like if you climbed up on like a cliff side and there’s like a big bird flew away. And then you peered over the crag and you look in there and it’s like, oh, a hard boiled. Is it, there’s peanuts. – Potato. – [Link] Yeah. That’s just a, this is potatoes. – It’s almost like mashed potatoes with some peanuts and some egg. Well Link, we gotta listen to you think out loud now. Mashed potatoes. – ‘Cause you just got a lead. – Mashed potatoes, hard boiled eggs, peanuts. (Link scoffs) Kinda like this. Who likes to put peanuts on stuff? It could be South Korea. I could keep going to Vietnam until that comes through. – Until it becomes the answer. – Every time I aim from Vietnam, maybe the map is pulling me to the correct answer. Know what? I’ma be assertive again. Vietnam it is. (dart banging) Oh, I landed. – A little high. – I let go sooner than I wanted to. – Yeah, that’s typically how it works. – Well, you think the peanuts are in here? – I have followed the peanuts lead a number of times on this show and during this game. And it has taken me to that area of the world where Vietnam is, I mean, it could be Sweden and you could, fate again could have shone its light on you. But I’m gonna try to get Vietnam. (dart banging) – Ooh. A little low. – Little low, little low, little low. – [Stevie] You just tried oto. A dish made with boiled yams, palm oil, hard boiled eggs, and garnished with roasted peanuts. This special birthday food is presented to the birthday person and then shared with the family, with everyone gathering around to eat out of one bowl in Ghana. – Ghana. – Oh, oh, oh. – Oh man. We’re both so far. – We’re both pretty far away from Ghana. – Communal bowl. – All right, that was 32 for Rhett and 38 for Link. – Oh, okay, all right. You still got the lead. (screen whooshing) – [Kids] Yay! – Wow. – Look, it’s hollow on the inside. – It’s like a freaking cream puff igloo. – Oh, I feel like we gotta start on the top. – Is it gonna? And I dunno if you can tell, but there’s like a drizzle of hardened. – Oh gosh. – It’s like a spider web of, I think, is this honey? – I just took half of one. – Yeah. That’s like. – Oh, that’s so good. – Is it puff pastry? – Yeah. It’s so puffy. – Oh, happy birthday to us. Well, I could just keep eating that. – Oh yeah. – I will. – So I’m going first? – You’re still in the lead, bro. I’m sorry. I gotta keep eating this. – Well, France is on the board, y’all. There’s a Cuban bakery here in Burbank that’s like really famous. Porto’s. – Porto’s. – Porto’s has a lot of puff pastries too. So is it Cuba or French? I wanna throw a dart at this and see what happens. – Well, well, it sticks right in there. – That’s what happens. – Just goes right in there. – You should do it too, man. My dart has failed me, but I’m still doing okay on every throw. So I’m going for Cuba. Porto’s, don’t do me wrong, baby. (dart banging) Oh yeah. – I think that this may signify either a tree or a mountain. So like Sweden, maybe there’s a tree. There’s trees in Sweden that are big and tall, like Christmas tree type things. No, I think this is Paraguay and I think it is emblematic of the mountain range. Is that the Andes that’s down there? – Huh. – This is a bold move because if I’m wrong, I’m very wrong and I basically have thrown the game. (dart banging) Okay. – [Link] I hope your Paraguay off on this one. – [Stevie] Okay. You just had croquembouche, a towering desert, desert. (Stevie laughs) – [Rhett And Link] A towering desert. (all laughing) – A towering dessert of cream filled pastry puffs bound with spun sugar. This birthday treat is also enjoyed at other festive family gatherings like weddings and baptisms. And it has its origins as a fanciful edible structure displayed on the medieval tables of French royalty. Because it’s from France. – Yeah. – Ah, so obvious. – Dang it. – [Stevie] Have you guys been to the desert in France? – Yep. – Looks like this. – The towering desert they call it. – All right, Link, you had 21, Rhett, 39. – Ooh. Ooh, wrong direction. (screen whooshing) – [Kids] Yay! – Oh gosh. This has a- – Non birthday cake. – An aroma that I’ve never associated with birthday. It’s very green. – Is it like collards? – [Link] I can’t tell you what kinda meat this is. – Gotta be pork. – A pork slice? I got my greens in today. All right, now I’m still going first. Now I’m substantially ahead. It feels strange. I’ve got this cake. – It could really, really pull ahead. – Yeah, would you mind if I just went ahead and, you know, maybe elongated my lead and. (bells dinging) Where does this? – Elongated your lead. – Again, Paraguay. It’s not fishy. It’s just porky and greeny. I’m thinking this is Paraguay. If I can get a little bit of Pakistan along with it, that would be nice. I’d be very impressed. (board banging) – Oh, what happened? It’s, I. (crew laughing) – Well, well, you’re close to Paraguay. You are, but oh my gosh. – I can’t tell you what happened. – You went a little low. (crew laughing) – What is your guess? – I’m actually surprised that you didn’t react more to this, because I think that this is seaweed. – Oh, really? – I think this is either Vietnam or South Korea. Neither has been guessed, so I guess I’ll just go in between ’em. (dart banging) Or almost South Korea. – Is that what that is? I should’ve, yeah. – Okay, I’m so glad that you said that ’cause I genuinely thought that you thought that was collards this whole time. And I was so confused. – I knew it was seaweed. I just didn’t wanna say it. – [Stevie] Good, good. So that’s miyeok guk, a hearty seaweed soup made with soy sauce, sesame oil, water, and beef. And because of its high nutritional content, mothers often eat this – It’s beef too, it’s not even pork. – [Stevie] to replenish themselves after childbirth. Thus it’s eaten on birthdays as a celebration of moms in South Korea. (Rhett laughs) – Oh gosh. I’m sorry, man. I’m sorry. I mean, I just threw it a little high. Just got really close to South Korea, I wasn’t even, it just kinda happened as an accident. – I mean, this could have been a collard. (everybody laughing) – Could have been a collard. – Rhett, you had two, Link, 51. – You have taken the lead. – Oh, wow, man, I’m sorry. That birthday cake got you. It really got you. (screen whooshing) – [Kids] Yay! – With a differential of 17 centimeters we go into this final round. – [Rhett] There’s a hair in here. (crew laughing) – That’s disturbing. I never wanna see that on the outside of a pie. Do you want to, you wanna cut this thing? – I kinda just wanna dig into it. – Slice it. Let’s see, let’s get a nice cross section. Maybe we’ll get the hair out. So I’m thinking that’s a hint that like, at birthdays they make a pie and they put a hair in it. – It’s like- – And if you find the hair- – Woo. – You- – Good luck for the next year. – So I’m kinda looking for the hair in there. – Oh look. – Did you find the hair? Seriously? – Nope. – You had a dangle. – Thought I did. – Should we go through this looking for the hair? – Oh, come on. No, it’s a beautiful pie. Don’t do that, man. – You were the one who wanted to dig through it a second ago. – No. – I mean, I don’t. – No, put the knife down, man. – [Stevie] Guys, there’s not a hair in there. – There’s not a hair in there? – [Stevie] No. It was just a fun message. – [Chase] There might be a hair in there. (crew laughing) – Message not received. Okay, so there’s apple. There seems to be apple. – It’s a really good pie. – [Link] It’s, is this a blackberry, a blueberry? – But I think it’s a kind of berry that’s not familiar to us. – You’ve got to stroke first because now you’re in the lead. – Why do you have to use that word? – [Link] Sweden hasn’t been taken yet. – Well, I don’t have to do this, but I will say this for the sake of everyone at home, that this is our last round, so it’s not labeled. – [Link] Yeah, I didn’t wanna to tell you that either. See, I knew. – It feels like it’s gonna be like some kinda like a lingonberry or something like that. You know, like some berry that they enjoy in the Scandinavian part of the world. – Yeah. – So I’m gonna kinda just do a, the old Euro throw. It’s like the Euro step, but it’s just throwing the dart at Europe. (dart banging) – Okay, well, yeah, I was thinking the same thing about the Euro throw. I just need to be 18 closer. – [Rhett] That crust is so good. – Here I go with a Euro throw. A little north of your dart. That’s what I’m hoping for. (dart banging) Oh gosh. (crew laughing) Well, there’s no way I can win anything now. – Well, I mean that, that’s a good point. It’s, yeah. (crew laughing) Unless, unless. – I mean, I had to win by at least 18. – No, there is a, no, there’s a way that you can win. That’s a distinct country in Africa that you hit that I did not hit. If that is a country you win ’cause you’ll get zero. No, I’m just telling you, if you hit that exact country you win. – My strokes are so weak today. – [Stevie] You just had a personalized birthday pie. Forget overly sweet birthday cakes. These double crusted pies usually contain a filling of fruit, like in this case, blueberries and a special birthday message carved or baked into the crust for the person celebrating their birthday in Russia. – Russia, those unfamiliar blueberries. – Russia, it’s like a lingonberry or something. – Man, that’s a good pie. – Yeah. Rhett, you had 10 and Link, you had 10. (all laughing) – I mean, we don’t have to go through this, but just typically when you’re down by 17 going into the final round, don’t throw your dart at the other guy’s dart. Just for, just for next time we play. – I was trying to go 19 above your dart. – Well, that would’ve been, okay, all right. You know what? – Just lay off. (Rhett laughing) You get to bust a pinata in “Good Mythical More” and I’m gonna look away. – Well, no, I’ll let you watch. – Thanks for subscribing. – And clicking that bell. – You know what time it is. (screen whooshing) All the top comments on this episode are people expressing their disappointment that I always find a way to lose. – How does that make you feel? – Like a winner at losing. Like, I always find a way. You know, it’s like- – It is uncanny. – The advantage dart is not, I think we should just rename that. It’s like it an even more complicated dart. – Well. – ‘Cause that, I mean, I didn’t quite make good use of that one. – Well, here’s the thing is that I was very excited about continuing to find ways to, you know, creative and fun ways to give you a little help. But then you went and hurt your fricking throwing arm. So, what is your plan? To throw with your left arm until this arm is good? – I have to, dude. – Okay, so I think the least that I can do is to commit that I will throw with my left hand until you can throw once again with your right hand. – Fair. – Would you like anything else? While I’m offering. – I will say yes. But let’s figure it out later. We have time. – Okay. – You know, it’s like, we’re about to freaking go on break, man. I don’t wanna work. – Yeah, I don’t wanna be thinking about this. – I don’t wanna be like planning episodes and stuff. – Yeah, yeah. Agreed. – We’ll do that. – Agreed. – We’ll do that. We’ll do that next year. – Okay. Let’s watch an iconic episode. – We gotta wrap up this marathon. This is the last one. – These were international iconic dishes from February, 2021. Big episode for the Linkster. Something something big and exciting happened. – Ended with a bang. (screen whooshing) – What does your country taste like? – Let’s talk about that. (bright upbeat music) Gooooood Mythical Morning. – Now when I think of foods that represent the good old US of A, of course, I think a hotdog. – Yeah. – Hamburgers. – Yeah. – And sushirrito. – Okay. – In fact, the hamburger is widely recognized as the quintessential American dish. But what do you think our national dish should actually be? – Strawberries, blueberries, and white berries. – I don’t know what white berries are, but I’m sure we can arrange that dish for you. But right now it’s time for- ♪ Where In The World Do These ♪ ♪ International National Foods Come From ♪ – What burgers are to America, other dishes are to other countries. Okay? – Okay. – All right, so we’re gonna try a national dish from somewhere in the world and when we say national dish, what we mean is a dish that is either officially recognized as the national dish of a country, or it’s highly popular in a staple dish strongly associated with a particular country. And we’re gonna guess where that dish is from by throwing a dart at the map that chase is standing next to. The national cartographer himself. – Oh yeah, nice. – All right, he’s gonna measure how far a dart is from the correct answer. And the person with the lowest score in the end is the winner. – And since I won last time, Link, you’re gonna get another special advantage dart. This time it’s the gooey globe dart, A small globe smothered in one of America’s favorite foods, melted American cheese. And the winner will be named International King of the World. And every time they proclaim their new title, the loser must sniffle, “Yes, all hail International World King.” Whoever it is, Link or Rhett. – It could be either one of us. – In their best squire voice. That’s what it was. That was a squire voice. – Yes. – Okay? Let’s do it. (paper crumpling) ♪ Mmmba pa pa-pa-pa pa-pa ♪ – We have a bowl of some goo type situation and accoutrements. – And we’ve been instructed. we’re supposed to take this. – Oh my gosh. – And kinda, oh! Whoa! Whoa! – Look at how gooey this is. – It’s like a taffy situation. And then you grab, I’m grabbing a cucumber and I’m dipping it in some chili sauce. And I’m going for, there’s also peanut sauce here, so. – [Link] I mean, if you eat it on its own, it’s like, it’s like tasteless snot. Like it’s not, if it were salty. – [Rhett] That’s not really a peanut sauce. Is it? I’m confused. – Whatever I got in here is so hot. (Link mumbles) – You’re getting a hat fan. – Helping? – I mean, you’re gonna go first ’cause you won last time. – We’ve never had the country of Brunei on the board, right? And this is one of the most unexpected things that I can imagine being in this game. So I’m just kinda just putting those two things together and going for Brunei. – Okay. (Rhett exhales sharply) See it’s little. Oh. – Whoa. – I see that you brought back your toy here. – Oh yeah. – Or Morgan gave you your toy to play with again. A generally positive response to your camera work, people, you know, mythical beasts wanted to see more of it. – Well, there’s more where that came from. It’s right here. You’re seeing it. – I definitely feel like, I mean, with this chili sauce, we gotta be thinking something over there on the far eastern part of the map. So I’m gonna try to out Brunei you. – You’re gonna out Brunei me? Okay. – Accuracy. Accuracy. (dart banging) Ah. What? I think I just nailed freaking Brunei! – Lemme look. – Did you see that? – [Rhett] Well, this might be your day, Link. – What is happening? I’m feeling good. – Tell me how you’re feeling. – I’m feeling great. I aimed for something and I threw the dart and then it hit exactly what I was aiming for. It was like I could throw a dart. – There’s so little red on Brunei and you hit Brunei on the exact red part of it. – [Rhett] Oh, so if it’s Brunei, that means it’s zero for him. – Yeah. – [Stevie] This stretchy sticky delicacy called ambuyat is made by combining hot water and the starch of the interior of the sago palm tree. – Of course. – This communal food is typically enjoyed with the spicy durian and shrimp paste sauce, as well as fresh vegetables and has been recognized by its country’s tourism board as a national dish. The, arduous process of harvesting palm trees has been passed down through generations in Brunei. – Yes! (crew laughing) Look at that! Look at what I did on purpose! – Okay. It’s only round one. – I got one Right! – It’s only around one. – And I did, every part of it came together – For me. – Hold on, as the director, as the director of this documentary, I just wanna say back off just a little bit. – I (Link sighs) fine, I know when to pick my moments. – Just a look. Just back off just a little bit. – I know when to pick my moments, man. – But for round one Link, you had zero and Rhett, you had 12. – Is that our first ever zero? – I think it is. – I think it is. – Wow. – On the small, arguably the smallest target ever. – That’s impressive. – I get. (crew laughing) (paper crumpling) ♪ Mmmba pa pa-pa-pa pa-pa ♪ – Ooh. This is nice. – Ooh, eyeball pizza. – This looks really. – It’s shaped like an eye. – [Rhett] I’m gonna go right through. I’m a little bit of afraid of the yolk, but I’m gonna get a, I’m gonna get some of the white stuff here. Very cheesy. – Oh man, that’s good. – [Link] Sauceless pizza situation. Now I’ve had this before. Haven’t you? – Lemme get that. Lemme get that on camera. – I think when we were hanging out with Gorgan, he was so hospitable. He was always bringing in food whenever we would go over there. And I think he brought this over one time, like a Middle Eastern pizza situation. So I have to go for Saudi Arabia. Here we go. (dart banging) Not bad. – Hey. And you know what Link? You actually got pretty close to the correct answer, which is Georgia. – You think it’s Georgia, huh? Why do you think it’s Georgia? – ‘Cause this is, I’ve had this at a mignon Armenian restaurant. You’re just, you’re in the right region of the world. You’re just not as specific as you needed to be. A lot of Armenian cuisine is influenced by Russian cuisine and Georgia, you know, used to be a part of the USSR. Now, first of all, you’re crowding me a little bit here. Are you’re trying to? – I’ve moved back. – Yeah. I mean, you know, just, I just, you know, now that you’ve become Mr. Accurate and you’re really close to the correct answer. I mean, I don’t know if. – I like it when you call me Mr. Accuracy. – I don’t know if I can get closer to the correct answer than you already are. (dart banging) I can’t. (Rhett laughs) – [Stevie] Okay, you just ate khachapuri, a cheese filled Levin bread, topped with a soft boiled egg and butter. This Delectable treasure has its own national Day of celebration and has been inscribed on the list of intangible cultural heritage for Georgia. – [Rhett] Hey, I just can’t throw today. – It’s Armenian history, I guess. – All right. Four for Link, 11 for red. – Ah, ah, man. (paper crumpling) ♪ Mmmba pa pa-pa-pa pa-pa ♪ – Hey, wanna remind you, go over and check out the Mythical Kitchen channel. You can learn how to cook food good. That’s the name of a series. You learn how to smash together snacks that seem like polar opposites and even how to make a meal for $2 and 75 cents. Lots of great work happening over there with the team. So be sure to check ’em out. Mythical Kitchen, its own channel on YouTube. – Its own channel. – When- – Thanks guys. – You’re welcome, Josh. Good work over there. – There’s a whole layer of just straight ice in this. – Okay, so there’s this. – Good Lord, what is happening? – I’ma taste the little pieces. – I tried to get, there’s beans in there. There’s beans! – That’s some nice ice cream and then this, some sorta custard. – That’s like a flan – And then the. – I would call it that. – Yes, the beans. – Flan, huh? Okay. – This could be Philippines. – But like, I do wanna point out something. – Maybe. Oh gosh, what’s your voice doing? Do you have a bubble in your throat? – Yeah, I had a ice cream bubble. – Beans in your throat? – I wanna point something out to you. – Could be Mongolia. – As you think about your reasoning here. And the last time we played this game, we got down to a round that had corn in it. And you said. – Okay. – “I’ve been to Thailand and I definitely did not see any corn.” – No, no, no, no! I’ve been there! I didn’t see this. – Oh man. You had to finger and everything. – There was no corn there when I went. – Now some mythical beast brought it to our attention that as a matter of fact- – I saw it, I saw it the morning I woke up and that episode came out. – You posted like one picture from your Thailand vacation and it was you with corn. (Rhett laughs) I mean, like, what are the chances that you actually had corn and you made a memory on the Internet. And this is a man who never posts on Instagram. – Well, if you knew what was in my coconut then you’d understand why I didn’t remember it. I don’t know. I don’t, I’m going squarely for the Philippines. (dart banging) Ooh. With a little north of the Philippines. – Hey, I’m gonna point out a couple of things. I see something that looks and tastes like flan and then I see beans including black beans. But the purple ice cream in particular, which I think is a tarot ice cream, right? I think it’s gotta be Philippines. I think you’re right. You gotta move your chair, man. I mean- – I’m not touching you. I can’t. – I’m not touching you. – Yeah, but look, if I get as close as you are when you throw, it’s like this. – Oh, okay. (crew laughing) I mean, of course you can hit it if you’re, oh, good gracious, this is like, I feel like I’m almost touching the board. – Well, I’m not. – Of course you hit, of course you hit Brunei. – I’m not quite that fun. – Of course you hit Brunei. – Fine, if you’re gonna take my seat, I’m gonna take your camera. – Okay. Yeah. Get a shot of this. Man. I almost feel like- – Oh gosh, – I feel like I might be too close. I feel like, I feel intimidated by how close I am to it. (dart banging) Oh gosh. Too close man. – What we got? – [Stevie] This beautiful dessert is called halo-halo, which translates to mix-mix. It’s made of crushed ice, evaporated or condensed milk and various ingredients including but not limited to sweetened beans, coconut strips, cubed yams, fruit, flan, and ube ice cream. Since World War ii, halo-halo has become steeped in the history of, and Ubiquity, oh my goodness ubiquitous in the Philippines. – Yes. Yeah. – I have not, I’m not giving up my lead. – You aren’t, man. This is tough ’cause I’ve been right about every single guess and I’m still falling behind every single round. – I’ve been more right. – All right, Link, you had six. Rhett. 11. – I’ve got 11 every time. – 12 the first time. – 12. ♪ Mmmba pa pa-pa-pa pa-pa ♪ – This is a smorgasbord. – Gracious, a jubilant dish of all types of meats. There’s a- – You got some cabbage. – [Link] There’s some potato. There’s like a, that’s like a foot. – That black sausage is actually not bad. – I’m still going first here? – Yeah. (Rhett grunts) – I was a little afraid of that black sausage, was that like blood sausage? – I think it was, but it tasted good. You might be on track. First of all, you are on track to have the lowest ever score in this game. – I mean, there’s so much meat on this plate. The cabbage leads me up to Portugal. – [Rhett] Portugal. (dart banging) – oh, flew away from me. – It’s funny how that has become a bad throw for you. – All right. I’ve moved all the way back. I’m not gonna impede your approach. – I’m actually kinda disappointed because I was really hoping you weren’t gonna say Portugal, ’cause I think it’s Portugal. This is the thing that is really sending me in a certain direction. This is as a man who makes his own paella. I know that this is Spanish chorizo. – [Link] Oh, I didn’t even eat that. – Which is, as you can see, is right there next to Portugal. I don’t know if I can get closer than you to Portugal. Ah. (dart banging) – Oh, nice throw. – A little bit closer. – [Stevie] Okay, this hodgepodge of foods, including things like beans, potatoes, carrots, chicken, pork, ribs, and pork ears, blood sausage, turnips and more is called Cozido a portuguesa. This comforting winter meal is believed to have originated as a simple farmer’s dish, which soon became a restaurant staple and a part of the national cuisine in Portugal. – We were right. Look, and that is a pork ear, my friends. – Hey, that’s actually, we’ve never been four for four in guesses in the first four rounds. That’s never happened alone. – Link, you had nine, Rhett, six. – Okay. I made a little ground up. – Not enough though. (paper crumpling) ♪ Mmmba pa pa-pa-pa pa-pa ♪ – Okay. This is a big crab. – A, oh, that’s a huge crab. Oh, that was just sort of hiding. – That’s a crab leg. Here we got another crab leg. And what kinda sauce is this? On the crab leg? – It’s a chili sauce. – Fun. Sweet. See if I can get a piece of this out here. – [Rhett] Got a little bit on me here. – Oh yeah. Crack it open. Cracking open. Oh gosh. Well see. This is a disadvantage. – Well, you gotta deal with it. – This is not designated anywhere on the map. It’s basically a free for all and we’re totally on our own. I do have an advantage dart, but I have to go first. I mean, obviously this is a coastal cuisine, but this chili sauce, it’s not spicy. It’s like a marinara. I mean, when I think about Italy, I don’t think about crabs. (Rhett chuckles) Well, it depends on what you do in Italy. – All right. I’m not gonna use this dart. I’ve got my special dart here. And no, I’m not gonna give Rhett any mercy because I hardly ever win this thing. And this thing’s really fun to use. And I’m also going for the lowest score, I think, in the history of this game. – The second lowest score in the history of this game is me in second place more than doubling your score. That’s how good this is today. – I got my squishy ball. – Correct me if I’m wrong, but this is not a rub, this is a poke your answer. – I’m gonna poke, yeah. – Yeah. – Guys, I don’t have a guess. I don’t, I know it’s not Italy, but it is right in the middle of the map. So I’m actually going to, I don’t know where to go. All right. I’m going for the middle of the board, I’m going for Italy. – [Rhett] Okay. He’s stuck it. Okay, Link. – It is greasy. – Gotta be honest with you. – You wanna hold that? – Sure. – I think it’s a very questionable guess. What’s your guess? I mean. – I mean, I think this is clearly an Asian dish. My guess is Malaysia. Okay? I’m gonna say that this is the official dish of Malaysia. Sadly, I don’t know exactly which one of those countries in that area of the world is Malaysia, but I believe that it is somewhere on that peninsula above Brunei and that’s where I’m going to aim. (dart banging) Oh gosh! What is wrong with me today? – You let go early and you’ve given me a, no, no! – I just lost it. – It all comes down to this. – You didn’t lose. You lost it because I did pretty good today. – You did great. – This sweet and savory dish simply called chili crab, – Oh. – made from stir fried mud crabs tossed in a tomato and chili based sauce. – Tomatoes, see? – [Stevie] Chili crab has been proudly promoted by one particular country’s tourism board as one of their national dishes. And that country is – Italy. – Singapore. – Singapore? So you were in the right ballpark. – And if I had a hit where I was aiming, I- – You got spooked with your throw. – I can’t throw, man. – All right, Rhett, you had 18, Link, 29. – 58 To 48. I eeked it out. – How do you feel? – I would just like to think everyone watching from this cam, from this cam from every single cam. You know what, I gave my heart and soul to this thing, and I know that you’re zooming past me. I watched the last episode where we did this and- – Chase lift your shirt. – This is my moment. – [Rhett] There we go. – Huh. What? – I did it. – Congratulations, Link. That was pretty amazing. – Thank you for liking, commenting and subscribing. – You know what time it is. (screen whooshing) What do you think about that camera work? – I don’t care about the camera work. I got a freaking hole in one dude and I won. – Hole in one. – Yeah, like phoop, right on the dart, the bullseye. – Bullseye is what we call that. – But it wasn’t a bullseye. You know, it’s the same, you know what I’m saying. – We still got that camera lying around? Oh, we don’t? I was gonna- – We rented it? – I wanted to take it home. – Hey, you want to end every episode with slow zoom on his belly button? – I wanted to film, I wanted to film my family’s belly buttons. – No, so you were four for four in guesses for the first four rounds and I still beat you. – Yeah. – I was really, – I gotta say- – That was a mural moment for me, man. – I didn’t have anything to do with choosing which episodes we would highlight in this marathon. But the percentage of Link wins in this marathon is not indicative of the percentage of Link wins in the actual episodes. – No, it’s not. – But, you know, if that makes you feel good, I’m all about it. I’m all, I’m here for you. – You should feel good because you made it across the finish line of our first GMM marathon of all time. – Yes. – And you know what? There’s more where that came from. Not tomorrow. We’re just gonna, let’s rest up. – Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. – Let’s train for our next marathon, which is Wednesday. – Yeah we’re gonna be doing some of our favorite guest episodes of all time. – Now hold on. I know what you’re thinking. I hate the gust episodes. – No, not everybody does. – This is gonna prove you wrong. And then if you thought, hey, but there are some good guests, those are the only ones we’re gonna show you. – Only the good ones. – So you’ll be glad and you’ll start to think differently about at least the potentiality of guests if that’s an issue of yours. – Yes. So we’ll see you Wednesday. – Yeah, just come back no matter what, all right? – See you Wednesday, but we will not see you in a second ’cause there is no “Good Mythical More.” This week only at mythical.com.
