GMW 64: The Loser Gets A Pie In The Face (Game)

Good Mythical Weekend. Guessing words and pies in the face. A match made in heaven. This is Pie Hard. Okay, crew. Emily and Andrew, for today’s game, you are the red team. Leonard and Trevor, you are the blue team. You are each going to alternate between being guessers and captains. The guesser’s only job is to guess what words on that grid are also on their captain’s card. The captain’s only job is to give one word clues good enough for the guessers to figure out the words on the card. The goal of the game is to get as many of your team’s words as possible. So captains, if you have a clue that you think hints at multiple words on the board, let your partner know by following that word with the appropriate number. For example, if you think the word ‘elephant’ hints at three words on the board, you’d say “Elephant, three.” And you must try and connect at least two words each go. But if the guesser guesses a word that belongs to the other team, the guesser will receive a pie to the face. First team to find all the words wins the round. And with that, red team, you’re up first. Really flew by that pie in the face part. Yeah. Just need to take a second. What kind of pie? What? What have we agreed to? It’s just pecan pies. We have, like, a bloody nose. It’s just frozen. It’s frozen. It’s frozen as well, so it’s gonna hurt pretty bad. Yeah. Okay, I gotta go first. All right. Yes, I’m ready. I know all these words, by the way, so this’ll be easy. Every single one, I’ve seen before. Vocation, two. Okay. All right. I got jockey. I got bishop. But let me just see if there’s anything else out there that’s catching my eye. Pupil, customer. Slightly, but I do feel like jockey and bishop’s a little bit… Dinosaur, in a way, it’s a vocation, but I don’t think it’s a chosen one. For a 9-year-old boy. Okay, I’m gonna touch bishop. Okay, we’re in the clear. I do think it’s jockey, but… I do think it’s jockey. Okay, I’m good. I win. We won. Okay, see you, guys. Bye bye. I’m gonna go syllabus, two. Whoa. Syllabus. Oh, great job, by the way, Emily. Okay. That’s really… Oh, thank you. Great job. Great job. Okay, my brain is immediately going to pupil and key. I feel like, in this game, if I start to overthink, it goes bad. Also, Leonard and I have been holding hands all day to try and connect our brains. One mind. To prepare. Kind of synergizing. Except for right now? Except for right now. Except for right now. Well, it’s game time now. We were holding hands and you told us we had to have them separated. Yeah. “No cheating,” you said. Okay, I’m gonna go pupil. And I’m gonna go key. Wow. Good work. Nice. Good work. There it is. That’s good. I guess I don’t know what syllabus means. I’m glad we were the red team. When I think of syllabus, I think of, like, a teacher’s, like… Yeah. Yeah. It’s like what they’re teaching that semester or something. Yeah. So keys? A key. Like the key. Like this is what you’re gonna gonna be learning about. Oh, an answer key. Kinda like a… Kinda. Oh, okay. So it worked. That’s what I was thinking. The handholding worked. I was like, “A dinosaur is definitely in the syllabus, right?” Unless you’re in the South. All right, it’s my turn now? Mm-hm. Okay. Oh. Hmm. Animal, three. Wow. Three animals. Okay. I mean, a dinosaur, hen. I don’t really see a third one, but dairy, potentially. Okay, I’m gonna touch hen ’cause that’s the most animal-ish to me. A dinosaur is an animal, technically. Although I do think the devil put them here to test us. Okay, I’m gonna say dinosaur. And then I’m just trying to think if there’s anything else. I mean, cream and dairy could both work, but dairy feels a little more animal-ish. Let me see. Cream, coat, straw, kidney, orchestra, cereal, customer, crime. Tick is an… Oh, brother. A tick is definitely a creature, but is it an animal? I’m gonna touch tick, unfortunately. Oh my God. Okay. I’m glad I got it right. That was kinda scary. Okay, good work. Good work. I’m gonna do illegal, two. Illegal, two. Ooh. Okay. Crime is immediately sticking out to me. Mm. Yeah. Crime. Gotta say. Yeah. Illegal. What else? I’ve been to the orchestra. Didn’t get arrested. Don’t think it’s that. Kidney. Oh. Someone could be illegally selling kidneys. Right. Right. Definitely gonna go crime. And I’m gonna go with kidney. Hey, good job. Very nice. That was awesome. Okay. Oof! Oh my God. This is hard. Okay. We’re winning, though. We’re doing great. Okay. I think we’re all winning ’cause we haven’t been pied yet. Well, that’s true. That’s true. No, that’s true. Okay, let’s see. Okay. Okay. Patron, two. Two. Okay. Definitely customer is in there. I’m gonna touch customer ’cause I feel very strongly. Now, this is tough because you could technically be a patron and you could buy a coat. You could buy dairy. You could buy cream, straw, cereal. But I do think a patron goes to the orchestra. I’m touching orchestra. Wow. Good job. Good job. Good job. Okay. So what happens if we lose the round? Do we get pied? Yeah! Oh. Both of us? Yeah! I think so. Both of us get pied? Yeah, yeah. Okay. All right. All right. Okay. I forgot to mention that. Yeah, you didn’t say! You never said anything about being… Pressure’s on. But then as soon as you said it, I remembered that I forgot. I can’t wait for you guys to see KG, so you can, so that you can know how funny it is. Her, off camera going like this. It’s killing me. Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. Yeah, I mean, we gotta go for the win here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whoa. Four, huh? Okay. Okay. It’s literally… Morning, four. Morning, four. Okay. You gotta have cereal in the morning. Mm-hm. Mm-hm. I don’t know why in my head, I’m meta gaming this a little bit, thinking that they’re not gonna do dairy and cream on the same team. I agree. And going purely based on that, I’m gonna go straw. Mm-hm. Wow. And I’m gonna go coat. You put a coat on in the morning. Mm-hm. Mm-hm. Oh my God. Okay. Yeah, I figured. No, that’s smart. Okay. That’s smart. I love how straw was in there. Like, what? ‘Cause of the Oklahoma musical and “Oh, what a beautiful morning”? Yeah, something. You put a straw in your orange juice. Yeah, that’s what I was… Oh, a straw. I was thinking of a bale of straw. I’m sorry. Dairy and cream. Oh no. Which one’s more morning-ish to you? Which one’s more morning? You’d put cream in your coffee. No! The dairy cream. Oh. Oh. Oh, not both of us get pied? Oh. No, no. I can’t breathe in. Because Trevor guessed the wrong word. Oh! So yeah. Mm-hm. We won! Yeah. We lost. Good job. We lost. So to clarify, because Trevor picked the other team’s card, that’s why he got pied. But if he had picked the right card, Emily and Andrew, you would’ve both gotten pied ’cause you lost. Got it. Got it. So yeah. Okay, okay, okay. Okay, fresh new grid. Players have switched roles. This time, the pies have sprinkles. You know, I thought that was missing. Rainbow. Nice. Rainbow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That’s what it was missing. And blue team, you can kick it off. Blue team. Okay. This is hard. Okay, I’m going to give you loud, three. Loud, three. All right, I mean, first thing, crack. Like a snap, crack, pop is coming to mind. Volume, obviously loud. Machinery. Machinery is kind of loud. I’m gonna go with the most obvious one. Volume. That’s blue. Nice. Okay. Now, warnings can be loud. Like a . The tornado warning. Oh, damn. Now, I don’t know. You know you’re not from California when you know what a tornado warning sounds like. Tornado warning. Okay, loud. Now I’m like, I don’t think it’s crack. I’m thinking it’s warning. I’m gonna go with machinery. Nicely done. Oh, nice. Now, is it crack or is it warning? Hmm. Trevor’s face. I don’t even wanna look at him ’cause I don’t wanna, like- Yeah, you can’t look. I don’t wanna look at him. Trevor. I can’t say anything. He’s disassociating. I’m not making any facial expressions. I know. Whenever I play this, I’m like, “Just lock in.” I don’t wanna cheat. “Just lock in.” I’m not trying to give any hints. My face be giving away everything. I’m just staring forward. Okay. Okay. Oh God. Warning isn’t necessarily loud. It’s warn, but a crack is an audible thing, so I’m gonna go with crack. Ah! Oh. Oh my God. Good job. I’ve never been so nervous. And it’s not even- Wow. It wasn’t even my turn. Wow. Okay. You ready? Yeah. Private, three. Oh, they’re going threes out the gate. Well, you did. Yeah, it just, I’m following his lead. Okay, we got a mystery. That sounds pretty private. Journal, definitely. Okay, number. It could be like phone number. Oh God. You said three? Mm-hm. Oh Jesus. Okay, I’m gonna do mystery. Good job. I’m gonna do journal. Great job. And now I’m going to walk into the ocean. Oh my God. I’m gonna do spit. You’re doing great. I am? I’m gonna do spit. Not so good, actually. I’m sorry. No! No! Come on. It’s on the table. I feel beautiful. Oh no. Would you like this? I’m sorry, teammate. I apologize. It’s okay. And I will not be wiping this off for the rest of the game. Oh my God. Okay. Okay. You do look beautiful. Thank you. Oh my God. All right. Well, I have a quick rule question. How do we, proper nouns, names? Is a proper noun okay? We get it. You went to college. It’s like a name. What? I don’t think you can say two words, I think. You can’t? Okay. You can’t say… No, it’s one word. Yeah. You have to say one. Yeah. You have to say one word. You can’t, yeah. Okay. Well, it’s okay. Then I’m just gonna change… Yeah, yeah, yeah. I’m gonna go with Palpatine, two. Palpatine, two. Wow! Yeah. Okay, for sure the empire. You got the wrong one with this one, buddy. Palpatine’s “Star Wars,” right? That was little Anakin’s girl, right? Sure. Is that, or is Palpatine the leader or what? Who is it? I’m not saying shit. Damn it. Oh man. No one’s on your team who can speak right now. Okay. All right. I’m gonna for sure say empire. Okay. Smart. I have to pick two, huh? You cannot stop. You must pick two. Palpatine. If she was his girl, and she was a little bit older than him, right? She was a senior. The comments are going nuts. She was senior. Or is Palpatine, is he the guy? With the… He’s an opponent to the Jedi force, right? To the force. This is awesome. Wasn’t it? Wasn’t it with Leia? “I have a warning, Luke.” Shit. Okay. Jesus. Okay. He’s not here. Okay. Palpatine. Was Palpatine a knight? Was Palpatine a knight? Mm. Mm. I feel like Palpatine is the ops. So I’m gonna say opponent. Oh my God. Ah! Oh my God, that was awesome. That was awesome. I would’ve maybe done senior ’cause he was a senior citizen. It is the old man, huh? He’s old. Yeah. He’s the old guy with the white hair that eventually becomes like the Sith Lord guy? Yeah. Yeah. Unlimited power. He’s Palpatine before he’s the Sith Lord. I use that gif all the time in my fantasy football league chat. ‘Cause I’m the commissioner, so I’m like evil to everyone. Mm-hm. But anyways, sorry. All right. Okay. I will say honorable, two. Honorable. Okay. Last looks. Thank you. I feel like this might be the most screenshot episode of Good Mythical… I forgot about the memes. Oh no. Can someone get me a hot dog too? We wanna get the clicks! All right. So, well, knight sounds like a good one. And seniors. Senior sounds honorable. Oh, Lord. Okay. I’m gonna go knight and senior. Great work. Ah. Ooh. We can win this right here. We can. Right now. Okay, I’m gonna go potato, two. The hell? Yeah. It’s okay. You’re gonna get there. Potato, two? Yeah, you’re gonna get there. I forgot it was on my neck. You’re gonna get there. Potato, two. It’s okay. Just, you know, work the problem. All right, I like bacon on a baked potato. Ah. Okay. Oh, couch potato. Sofa. All right. Jeez Louise. Remember in “The Matrix,” when he was like, “I want a steak dinner and potato. I wanna taste that baby.” That is the best looking steak. It was a… In any movie. For sure. That steak looked… You eating that glop gruel? All right. Okay. Potato. Potato’s number one in my heart. Potatoes, for sure, can’t be warning. Potato is everything. I would love a present potato, but I’m gonna go bacon. Yes! Well done. Ah! Great clues! Right there. So good. All right. When you said couch potato, “He got there!” Oh. Oh no. Oh, the glasses. Hang on, I got you. Come here, come here. Get him some windshield wipers. I didn’t make it better. No, I guess we’re just gonna be screwed. It’s double the fun. God. Wow. Oh, big dubs. That’s huge. That’s so big. Big dubs. The tie is scored. So it all comes down to this final round. And we are adding cherries to the pie. Maraschino or fresh? Yes. Maraschino. Oh. Yes. The answer is yes. No one asked me my preference. And you’ll be hearing from my lawyer. And red team, you’re kicking us off. All right. Transportation, two. Okay. But that was a bad idea. No, no, no! This is tough because I see three. Well, four. I see horse, I see pilot, I see pedestrian, I see ground, and I see motor. Motor. This is messed up for me. Yeah, I really- It’s okay. It’s okay. I thought I had it, and then I looked again. Hey, you know, I’m the one on the line. It’s okay that you totally messed up. My face is in the line of fire. It’s okay. I’m so sorry, Andrew. It’s okay. It’s so good. I mean, I’m torn. I do think ground transportation is, like, a phrase, but I’m gonna go with pilot first. Okay. Okay, I just, it was a game time decision. And then I’m trying to think. I think pedestrian and horse and, like, ground, those are a little more abstract. Motor feels more like that is definitely transportation. I’m going with motor. Oh no. Messed it up for me. I had a plan. I’m sorry, Andrew. It’s okay. Oh no. It’s just all there. It’s just cherry. There isn’t a drop left on the plate. Wow, the whole thing. Oh no. I guess the glasses are actually kind of a good thing. Kind of. I’m so sorry, Andrew. No, it’s okay. ‘Cause he can just wipe it off. It’s okay. Wow! Okay, I’m gonna say mammoth, two. Oh God. No, it’s okay. Mammoth, two. Okay, mammoths have tusks. I gotta do that one. And mammoths have hair, as do many things. Do baby or watch or drop or one of those. Baby. Watch. Drop. I’m thinking those ones for you. King. Mammoths were the king of the Ice Age. Thank you. That’s the way to do it.- That’s what I’ve heard. No problem. It’s my fault. No. No, it’s fine. I’m gonna go with hair. Big dog. There it is. That right there. Okay. Why is it getting worse? They’re still cleaning up. I’m sorry. They’re still cleaning. If I get really close, I can read it. All right. Emily. Oh, it’s my turn. Yeah. Sorry. I was distracted. So many sprinkles. Okay, let’s see. Keep in mind there are other words on there too. Just keep that in mind. It’s just a tip. It’s just a tip. Okay. Government, three. Okay. Oh, I like this. Three. All right. We got king. We got state. Buffet, float. Trade for sure. Ground, maybe. Pedestrian, baby, morning, watch, drop, horse. Okay, I’m definitely gonna say state. I mean, come on now. The king. I mean, that’s controversial, but I will say king. And then I think trade. I do think trade a little bit. So I’m gonna go trade. Good work. Great work. Wow! Great work. Great work. God. Banger. Great work. Banger. Wow, we’re in the lead. Great work. Good job. Banger. Okay. You’ve only gone once, though. All right. Hey. Exactly. Okay. I’m gonna say clouds, two. Clouds, two. Okay, float. Clouds float in the sky. Clouds aren’t on the ground. Mm-hm. Generally speaking. Drop. Raindrops fall from clouds. Okay, I’m gonna go float. And I’m gonna go drop. Oh! Oh no! Oh no! Cloud? What? No. Oh. Ah! I thought I was getting pied. The cherry went right on the chin like a little ornament. I thought for sure it was drop. That was a good guess, Trevor. That’s on me. That’s on me. That’s on me. No. Well, now I can think about what else could be related to a cloud. Oh no, you just pushed that right in your eye. I just wiped it so deep into my eye. Oh God. It’s okay. Oh, my eye’s glued shut. It’s so red. It’s your turn. Feel free. All right. I’m gonna work on myself. We cut back, and then he’s got an eye patch. Okay. Let’s see. All right. Walks, two. Walks? W-A-L-K-S? Yes. Okay. I mean, I do think this is coming back to maybe the ground transportation from earlier and pedestrians. So I’m gonna say pedestrian first and ground second. No! We back, baby. Oh my God, that’s how. No! A horse. I’m sure it was horse. That one. Let’ go. What is your thing against horses? I just felt like he walks on the ground. You can feel the cherry. Oh, the cherries. You got two. Blessed me. That’s lucky. Lucky cherries. I think you’ve got three now. We’re still in the lead. I feel like I’m in the lead. I feel like a winner. I think we’re gonna go for the win. Okay. Food, three. Food, three. Horse. Okay, buffet. Come on. Baby food. Come on. I might as well not clean myself up. Just get ready. Watch out for all the food I’m gonna put in my mouth. Watch out for all the food. I’m gonna go morning. Let’s go. Wow. God dang. You really went for it. She does this nice friction. Yeah. Where she puts it on and then she goes like that. Like she’s driving a car. Yeah, she puts it on your face and then she smears it across. She goes, “Ooh.” You know all about it. Yeah, Leonard knows all about it. I think the real winner today is Leonard. Leonard won. Yeah. ‘Cause he’s the only one that didn’t get a pie the whole episode. I know. Good for you, Leonard. Incredible. Hey, it happens sometimes. Incredible. All right. Every time I have to read the outro, it’s the most humiliating episodes. I’ve had to be in a corner ’cause I lost. And now this is that. Thanks to you all at home and all around me for joining us. See you next Saturday. Bye! Bye. Wow. Watch the full recording of “Good Mythical Evening: Sloshed in Space” on demand at goodmythicalevening.com.
