(rooster crows) (lion roars) (wheel spins loudly) – Welcome to Good Mythical More. How well do we know Guy Fieri slang and how well do you know it? Let’s find out together. – But first, let’s unleash a random disturbing fact on your face. Genghis Khan killed so many people in his wake that the farmlands they had used returned to being forest, which actually significantly reduced carbon in the atmosphere. Thank you, Genghis Khan, – No! – For countering global warming. – He and his Mongol armies massacred nearly 40 million people. I don’t think we should celebrate that. – Yeah, well, I’m just talkin’ about the trees. – It’s calculated remove 70 metric tons of carbon from the atmosphere. – Do you know, 700 million metric tons, right? No, 700 million, whatever a lot. Do you also know that he is considered to be the person who has the most people on earth currently related to him? – Really? – Yeah. Look that up and verify that. But I heard that, in, from a reliable source at some point, because of a very bad reason, (Link imitates car) because he had so many wives and he did so many horrible things to so many people. But he basically got his DNA into more people than anybody else. – [Stevie] Hey, you like that car? – Yeah, I like it. – [Stevie] Okay, you can win it. You can win it in this More. – Who, me? – [Stevie] No, you won the key. Came in on the car, but who gets the car? It’s the person who’s going to be better at guessing this Guy Fieri slang. – Can I just talk about how great of a key this is? And I didn’t even realize that it says GMM and who would’ve thought that the key to Flavor Town actually, (Link imitates duck) it was just having GMM at the end of your key’s all you needed the whole time, this whole time, that’s all we needed. – Yeah, I can make my own. – Also before we get started, just remember, listen, we got a New York times bestselling novel, The Lost Causes of Bleak Creek, and now it’s in paperback. So you can just crinkle it up, you can fold it. – It’s easy to carry. – And also it has a bunch of stuff in the back, a quiz- – Exclusive new content. – A Q&A. (Rhett stammers) If you want to do a book club, it’s got like a guide in there. It’s worth it. – Collect it, gift it, read it. – Bleakcreek.com – [Stevie] Okay, so you know, a lot of this slang is obviously gonna be food related. So I’m going to need you to get very – [Stevie And Rhett] Specific. – And if you, – I knew you were gonna say specific – If you need to use it in the sentence and that’s how you need to get at it, I will accept that. – Can I have the salsa, Guy’s salsa, and some chips just to enjoy while I’m doing this? I really enjoyed those chips and salsa. – All right, Stevie hit it. – [Stevie] Hot Frisbee of fun. – Hot Frisbee of fun, circular, hot object… – Pancake. – I would think you gotta be more specific than that. – [Chase] We already put in your bag. – Hot, hot cake. – Well, you know what, do you know which one the bowl is? – [Chase] I don’t know which one the bowl is. (laughs) – I’ll say- – Bring them over and I’ll match it. – I’ll say a crepe. – It’s not that one. (glass sliding) – I believe it’s this one. – It might be that one. – It might be this one, but it’s, I think it’s that one. Taste them and see. – Or I can taste and see. – Alright, crepe and pancake, who’s right? – [Stevie] It’s, you went very specific. It’s just something round and edible, like a pancake or a hamburger. – Oh, so we’re, okay. – [Stevie] So go a little less specific. – It could be a hamburger, all right. – [Stevie] I’ll give you each point for that. – Okay. – That’s good. – [Stevie] Holy food item, Batman. Holy what Batman. – What, holy what? – [Stevie] Holy and then food item in insert food item Batman. – It just means, wow, that was surprising. I didn’t think it was gonna be good. – Yeah, that just means he likes it. Holy pancake, Batman. He likes it a lot. – I think he says, “holy food item, Batman,” specifically. – And then the editors put the stuff in. – Yeah, they just (stammers). – [Stevie] Yeah, it’s when the flavor of a dish, or its size takes Fieri by surprise, which is closer to what Link said. – Surprise, yeah. – You know, the interesting thing about Guy Fieri – Look at that. – Is that he’s taken a lot of crap because he’s kind of easy to make fun of, right, because he’s a big personality and he’s made some very specific choices with his facial hair and his hair and the way he dresses. – Yeah. I bet he’d be fun to hang out with, man. – But everything that I hear about him is good. I mean, I don’t know the guy, I never met him, but anything that I hear about him, people who have, like, worked on the show or whatever, or been in contact with him, things that he does, the charitable stuff. He’s a good guy. Guy is a good guy. – As far as we can tell, yeah. – [Stevie] Serve it on a trash can lid. – What? – It– – [Stevie] Serve it on a trash can lid. – It’s so good that it doesn’t matter how you serve it. – I’m in agreement with that. – [Stevie] Okay, but you’re playing against each other. – Yeah, Rhett, change your answer. – Well, I know that’s the right answer. – It’s so big that you could only serve it on trash can lid. That could be your answer. – All right, I’ll take that. It’s so big, you can only serve it on a trash can lid. – [Stevie] Anything too big for a normal plate should be served on a trash can lid. – As soon as you told me, I was like, “that’s a better answer, I’ll take that.” (Link laughs) – [Stevie] Festival of funk. – Somethin’ stinks but in a good way. – Festival of funk? – [Stevie] Uh-huh. – Here’s the thing, I haven’t watched his show a whole lot, but he never, because he’s doing it with the person who made it, he never says that it’s bad. He finds ways… – Yeah, it’s like, “Man, that’s a festival of funk”. That’s a backhanded compliment. – So I think these are all that he likes it. – Yeah. – Yeah, but you have to get more specific. – Gotta be more specific. – I think it’s when he’s tasted something that is an unusual combination of flavors and he’s trying to find a way to be descriptive. – [Stevie] When a dish has a whole mix of exciting flavors, so yeah. Put it on a flip flop. – Put it on a flip flop. – I love this man. (crew laughs) We could learn a lot from this guy. What if we had an arsenal of words like that? – Put it on a flip flop. Put it on a trash can- – You can say things like it’s a pretty good. – If it’s big. I don’t know. – I think small. – I guess if it’s- – I’m gonna go with the opposite of the trash can. that was Link’s answer that he gave to me. I’m gonna say if it’s really small, but really good. – I think it means, like, this would be great to eat on vacation, on a beach vacation. – [Stevie] Wait, I missed what you said, Link. – Be great to eat on a beach vacation. – [Stevie] Okay, neither of you are correct. Would you like to guess again? – Put it on a flip flop, mean you can, you can switch it up and it’s still good. – Put it on a flip flop. It’s super hot. – [Stevie] Food that would taste good no matter the presentation. – Oh, yeah. – Okay. That was my guest for the trash can. – [Stevie] Yeah, yeah. – All right, next one. – [Stevie] Out of bounds. – Out of bounds. – That’s when somebody has done something that is so daring, like, like, I can’t believe that you’re doing this here at your restaurant. This is so out of bounds, but it is also, still, a compliment. – It’s not a complaint, yeah. – It’s always a compliment. – Well, it’s, it’s as close as he’s gonna get to a complaint. So it’s like, yeah, it’s, it’s pushing the limits too far, but, but not really, cause he still likes it. – [Stevie] So you’re, you’re both saying the same thing? – We’re agreeing. – [Stevie] It’s a phrase for truly delicious food, sometimes surprisingly so. – Yeah, we were right. – [Stevie] There’s only one more. – All right. – I mean, it seems to me that a lot of Guy’s phrases are just ways to say that he likes something. – Yeah. That’s what, when you can only like things, you have to come up with a lot of different ways to say it. – Now, you tell me, as somebody who’s also in the entertainment business. – Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know me. (laughs) – And has had to do this kind of thing, like taste food for a living. – Yeah. – Do you think, and I’m asking the question about Guy then I’m asking the question about you. Do you think that Guy Fieri has, like, stood in his bathroom, looking in the mirror, and said things like, “Put that on a flip flop.” Like practiced and come up with things. – No man. – All these things happen spontaneously? – He, won Food Network Next Top Model. – And the second question for you, – He just comes up with it. – Is, do you ever like, think about things that you’re gonna say? Like- – Isn’t that obvious? No. – No, but I don’t do that either. I don’t think about like expressions like that, but I’m beginning to think – We should? – that I should have, like, a session every, like, Sunday night. – Put it on a flip flop. – Yeah, yeah, and just, I’ll go stand in the mirror. I’m gonna put this shirt on. I’m going to unbutton it one more time and I’m gonna stare into the mirror and I’m going to come up with all kinds of sayings, like, “Flip that upside down and call it a panda”. That wasn’t a good one. – Yeah. – Boy, that really, that really tickles my… – Yeah. – Yeah, this is hard. – My innards, tickles my innards. – Boy, I probably shouldn’t start with boy every time because I may not be with a boy. (Rhett hums) (both laugh) I think I’m just gonna stick with, “That’s good!” – What about, “Ooh, that makes the hair stand up on my”… And then come up with another place that you wouldn’t expect. – That makes the hair stand up in places I didn’t know I had. – But it’s better to be specific. That makes the hair stand up on the end of my elbow. – But the thing about his phrases is, you know what he means by them. – Yeah. Well, sometimes, it seems. All right, it all comes down to this for me to tie or you to run home with the win. – Yes. – Give it to us, Stevie. – [Stevie] That puts the Shama Lama in ding dong. (crew laughs) – That’s when he is so, – It’s so good. – Excited about somethin’. – It’s the highest compliment from Guy Fieri. – That is when he’s tasted somethin’- – When there’s a Shama Lama in his ding dong. – Oh man. – He is really giving you the highest praise. (Rhett hums in agreement) – But you can’t agree with me. – I said at first. – That’s defensive. – Well, I’ll change my answer for the win. I think it’s that something comes together and it’s so much better than anything he’s had. – [Stevie] Those could both be correct ’cause we don’t really have a definition. So, whoever wants the car can have the car. Goodbye, Link. – I’ll take it home. And one of my kids will ruin it in three or four hours.
