- Alexa. What does Amazon putt-putt look like?
- [Alexa] I don't know.
- Let's talk about that.
(upbeat music)
- Good mythical morning.
- Amazon.
Remember way back when they used to only sell books?
- I do remember that.
- Remember that? - It was way back.
They only sold books.
- Well, now they sell absolutely everything.
You want Swedish Fish? Amazon.
You want a real fish common to Sweden?
- Herring?
- Amazon.
You want a sweet Phish CD? Amazon.
What's the last thing that you bought on the 'zon?
- A downhill bell for my mountain bike.
- A downhill bell.
- Yeah, you don't want it dingaling
when you're going uphill,
you want it dingaling when you're going downhill.
- Is dingaling the technical term?
- It's a downhill dangling.
- Okay. Downhill dingaling.
Now, some might say-- - He knows people.
- That Amazon taking over the world is bad news Bezos.
That's a phrase that I'm really trying to get going.
- It's catchy.
- It sure does make for prime conditions
on the mythical greens.
Let's get those putters a-puttin',
it's time for Pick N Putt: Amazon Edition.
- Welcome to the putting zone.
- And welcome, amazing Amazon caddy Chase
to get rid of this wonderfully scratchy jacket.
I plan to see you again very, very soon.
- On me. This time you plant a seed on me.
- Well, anything can happen in this game.
- Okay, you know how this works.
It's mini golf.
Stevie's gonna ask this question about Amazon.
Each question will have three possible answers.
We'll try to hit our balls into the right answer hole.
- Each putt counts as a stroke and strokes are bad.
- Bad.
- If you land in the wrong answer hole,
you get two penalty strokes
in addition to all the other strokes that you've stroked.
The lowest score at the end of this thing
wins the coveted winner's jacket until next time.
Come on!
Mini golf gods! Shine upon me!
- They don't exist.
(lively music)
Well, our turntables are back,
but they've been Amazonified.
- Yeah, we got the Amazon smile logo on these things
to make for an interesting trajectory.
- Interesting, interesting. - Stevie?
- [Stevie] Amazon Music has over two million songs,
which means there should be something
for all music lovers to enjoy.
But which particular song was Amazon music's
best-selling song of 2020?
Was it "Stay" by BTS, "WAP" by Cardi B,
or "Blinding Lights" by The Weeknd?
- Now, can I get a clarification?
What does "WAP" stand for?
- Yeah, I never knew.
- Is that an acronym for something?
- [Stevie] I will talk about that with you after the show.
- I think it's wet as planned.
- Yeah, wet as planned.
Okay, I'm going first.
Now, in terms of my guess,
which could be irrelevant based on the fact
that I've got to go through these two records,
and we're agreeing, we're gonna putt it onto this part.
- We're going to this side because
that's the part which makes it fun.
- We're not just gonna launch it over.
We're gonna go for it.
Okay. I don't know.
I just feel like, I don't even know if "Stay"
is a song by BTS and I'm sorry, Army, don't come after me.
I'm fully supportive of your efforts, but I just.
- He's scared.
- I just assume that the Army shows that kind of support
for their artists by actually buying the track,
which is something that like, Cardi B has got a lot of fans,
but I think they're just streaming "Wet As Planned".
- If you're gonna get wet, you should plan on it.
- Yeah, right, yeah.
- You know? Bring a raincoat, bring an umbrella.
- Ah, it's raining! Wet as planned.
(Link laughing)
- Here we go.
Whoa, oh, wait!
Look at what's happening.
Right back at ya, buddy. (laughing)
- Okay. All right. Yeah.
- That is one stroke.
It's coming back. Oh!
I don't know.
(Rhett shouting) (Link laughing)
- I believed in you, man!
- Two strokes.
- Two strokes. Okay, I'm gonna go a little bit harder.
This is demoralizing.
- [Link] Oh, oh, oh, whoa!
- Okay. All right.
Okay. All right.
- Rhett is in his third stroke
and he is lined up for "Stay" by BTS.
- Okay. So I'm in for, is that four?
- Yeah. - I'm in in four.
- Okay.
I'm a Spotify man.
My guess is "Stay" by BTS.
I agree with you.
- Okay. We'll see if you can get there.
It's not easy.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah!
Come on now!
Come on, whoa, come on, no!
- Back, back! Come back! - No!
- Come back!
Come back, no, no, don't let him in!
Don't let him in, golf gods, don't let him in!
(both shouting)
- Wow.
- They let you in.
- Yeah, boy.
- That was exciting.
- Exciting.
- That was very exciting.
Let me pull this off there.
- I gotta admit, even though I didn't want it to happen,
it was worth it.
- Starting to feel that green jacket.
- This could be a good start for you here.
- Come on, BTS.
(Link groaning) (Rhett laughing)
Okay.
- Okay, BTS for three.
- BTS, three strokes versus.
- Four.
- How could there only be one difference?
- Well, 'cause you missed.
- [Stevie] There's some answers in this house,
there's some answers in this house,
is what I would have said if the answer was "WAP",
but that's not the right answer.
With four of the top five best-selling songs in 2020,
Amazon Music was dominated by BTS
and their number one best-selling song, "Stay".
- Hey. - Hey.
- You know what?
We were both right.
(lively music)
- Oh, look.
Caddy Chase is playing with his toys on the green.
- Will you go see Woody for me?
Oh, sure.
- He seems to be pretty into it.
- Yeah. And that's not gonna make it easy.
For me or you.
Stevie, what's the deal?
- [Stevie] I wasn't anticipating audio from Chase,
but there, you know, there we have it.
- Yeah, he can talk.
- There's quite a lot of audio going on.
- Oh no! The bridge!
- [Stevie] In 1999, in order to have enough stock
for the upcoming holiday craze,
Amazon had its employees buy up every last one
of one specific toy from the Toys "R" Us website
and then Amazon resold the items to their own customers.
What was that toy?
- Seriously? They did that?
- [Stevie] The hard-to-kill Furby,
the always-hungry Tamagotchi,
or the shockingly squishable Pikachu?
- Hmm. - What year did you say?
- [Stevie] 1999.
- Oh my gosh.
I know Furbies came back,
and that's why we were messing with them
so much on the show.
So the comeback of the Furbies might've been '99.
Oh gosh. What am I gonna do here?
- It seems that Chase--
- Chase, you're in a vulnerable position.
I mean, oh, and now you're in a real vulnerable,
yeah, stay like that.
Your feet were like a ramp
for this to go right up your tookus.
- Oh, he got through!
- I got by him!
And I almost hit Furby with the first try.
All right.
Furby is my answer.
Boop.
- Wow, that was-- - Rhett, what say you?
- It was impressive. - Yeah,
I took you by surprise, didn't I?
Furby is what I was gonna guess.
- But now?
- If I get through and I am able to get in in two
I'm only one behind, but I could fall behind
quite a bit here if I don't get through.
And I don't know how you got through so easily.
- Don't be afraid to hurt Chase, I think was my mantra.
- Ooh, what are you saying?
- He's having so much fun.
(both laughing)
- Did you hit him?
He hit Chase on the hand.
- Pretty hard.
- Chase, you okay?
- Am I ever gonna feel better?
- I hit him pretty hard on the hand.
- Very doubtful. - You know what, Chase?
It's okay to cry.
It's okay. It's okay to cry, buddy.
- I can't say I wasn't aiming right at his hand.
- You know what? When something hurts, we cry.
It's okay.
Say you're sorry, man.
- I'm sorry, Chase.
That's a problem.
- What are you going for?
I'm going for Furby.
(Rhett groaning) - A little short.
A little short.
- Furby in three.
- Okay. I like this.
No matter what, I'm taking another stroke lead.
- Okay, in 1999, there were so many great toys
you couldn't help but try and catch 'em all.
Perhaps that's why Amazon swooped in
and bought up every last one
of Toys "R" Us's Pikachus.
- Yeah, I guess '99 was the wrong year for Furby.
Okay, well.
I'm down by two.
(lively music)
I'd like to direct your attention to my sweatshirt.
I'm sure your attention was already directed there.
- Look at this purple sweatshirt.
- This captures a special moment in our friendship
when we went to the North Carolina zoo.
- Yeah.
- And we both got the gorilla t-shirt.
- [Link] Yeah.
- As you can see, I was trying to be cool,
Link was trying to smile, and we were both.
- [Both] Mythical.
- Get it at mythical.com.
The purple gorilla sweatshirt.
We got some Bezos happening down here,
big mouth Bezos behind a ramp.
Okay, there's some complicating factors here,
which we'll get into in a second.
But first, what is the trivia question?
- [Stevie] Amazon's founder and former CEO Jeff Bezos
wasn't always one of the richest men alive.
In fact, he once was just a high school boy
about to give a valedictorian speech to his peers.
In that speech, Bezos mentioned
a quite ambitious dream of his.
Was it to explore 100% of the Earth's oceans,
to bring extinct animals like the dodo back to life,
or to build space hotels, amusement parks,
and yachts for space colonies?
- What?
- Okay, I'm in the lead by two strokes
which means I'm gonna stroke Bezos first.
I remember something about Bezos building a biosphere
and we wanted to visit it.
I think he wants to stop extinction.
- Extinction. He wants to stop extinction?
- He wants to stop extinction.
- Because ocean explorer is the Titanic, James Cameron.
Right? Okay.
I have the express checkout that I can use,
but we're not allowing that on this one
because that mouth is just begging to be.
- You gotta get in that mouth.
- And I think we have to go through the mouth.
- You gotta get through the mouth.
- No matter how many strokes it takes.
- No matter how many times it goes.
- We both have to make a path through the mouth.
- And if you don't hit the mouth,
you come back to the start.
- Yep. - And add a stroke.
- Yup. - I'm on team mouth.
- All right, come on, Bezos.
- Whoa! Hey, right on the chin.
- That's a little low.
- But I think you got a good feel for it.
- A little chin.
Let me try again with a little more gusto.
- That was less gusto. - That was less gusto.
- You gotta dial your gusto, right?
So this is your third Bezos stroke.
- And you have the advantage of seeing.
- Well, I'm down by two.
- Come on, Bezos.
- Oh!
(Rhett groaning)
- [Stevie] This is gonna be 20.
(crew laughing)
- You can do it.
(both shouting)
- And it went off the course!
Seriously?
- All right, if you get through the mouth
and you go off the course,
you get to set up on this side.
- How many was that?
- That was the 20th one, man.
Hey, listen.
It's gonna take me at least that many.
All right. I'm going for stop extinction in one.
- [Rhett] There you go.
- Nice putt right there, guys.
That's about as far as I've ever putted.
- Now, my guess is space hotels,
because I know that Jeff got into
the whole space exploration thing as well.
- Oh, that's right.
If you get it in one, I am going to,
I'm gonna, all right.
Let me help you out here.
- Gotta have more gusto than that.
- That's one, 19 more to go.
What's that, seven?
Oh no!
He got it in eight.
- Whoa, well, that's gonna change the game, Link.
But you still got to cheat, you know, in the last round.
I'm going space hotels.
Okay. All right.
- [Stevie] While Jeff Bezos probably now has enough money
to make all of these things happen,
the wild dream he described in his valedictorian speech
was to build space hotels, amusement parks, and yachts
for the space colonies in order to help get all people
off our planet and preserve Earth.
- Oh wow. Okay.
You dug quite a hole.
(lively music)
- Can Link Neal overcome the largest deficit
in Pick N Putt history?
- I don't know. There's only one way to find out.
- I think, I think they do know.
And the answer's no, but hey, look.
There's a maze of Amazon boxes down here.
So maybe I do have a fighting chance.
- It's still any man's game.
- [Stevie] It is time for your final question.
And I think we all know what that question is.
What is the most expensive item available
for purchase on Amazon?
- This could be anything.
- Is it The Beatles' 1965 "Help" album
autographed by all four Beatles?
- What?
- [Stevie] An ultra-rare 1884 S Morgan silver dollar
from the prestigious Illinois set?
- The Illinois set?
- [Stevie] Or a 1787 handwritten note by Benjamin Franklin
signed by Mr. Franklin himself?
- Since when is Amazon like Sotheby's?
I mean, selling all this stuff?
- Apparently they sell collector's items.
- Okay.
- Okay, so I'm in the lead here.
- You're going first.
- And I'm really gonna have to foul things up significantly
to lose at this point.
- Take your time, you know?
Just hit every box if you want.
- But in an effort to not foul things up,
I'm actually going to try to get
all the way through this contraption.
And I'm going for this little spot.
I don't know if you can see that, there's a little peephole.
Now my guess, you know,
you can't get the Beatles to sign an album
because some of them are dead.
- Yeah.
- Paul.
- Paul died first, definitely.
- Paul and the rest of them.
Man, that's a small little hole.
I kind of regret thinking this.
- Oop. Okay. That's good for me.
That's one.
- Now I can't even get there,
so I've got to go through box J7A.
- You're still leading by 11 strokes.
Oh, there he goes.
Oh, oh. It came all the way back here.
- You can't even see this.
I'm sorry, but my ball is back here
and I've got to actually hit like this.
- You're leading by 10 strokes.
- Oh, whoa, that was.
Ooh, that was nice.
And that puts me right here next to Ben Franklin.
- So are you going with fate on this one?
What's your answer?
- Ben Franklin.
- Nice putt.
Even if you're wrong,
with two additional penalty strokes,
there's no way that I can use the express checkout
and beat you.
- I'm gonna say, if you can get through these boxes
and also get a hole in one and get it right,
you win it all.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
- I'll take you up on that offer.
What do I have to lose? Pride?
That's been gone.
- You don't even have to guess correctly.
You just have to hit the one correctly.
But what is your guess?
- [Link] That silver dollar thing.
- Illinois set, huh?
- Yeah.
So I'm not going for the same hole you went through.
I'm going for this hole here
because I think that gives me a line to the silver dollar.
- Okay. All right.
I'm standing back 'cause I don't want,
I think I might get hurt if I stay down there.
(laughing) Oh, you got it through!
- It really zinged.
- But you hit that box real hard.
- It didn't go in the hole that I wanted it to go in.
- Well, that was part of the problem.
- Just to know how much I've lost by,
let me go ahead and do some putt-putt action here.
That's two.
Of course, I'm not trying that hard
because my spirit has been broken.
All right.
- He's in for three on the silver dollar.
- Silver dollar.
Come on over here.
- [Stevie] While all these items are extremely expensive,
even if you combined the prices of the Ben Franklin note
and the Beatles album,
you would still be nearly $600,000 short
of the price tag on the 1884 S Morgan silver dollar,
which sells for an unbelievable $850,000.
- Almost a million dollars?
- You gotta get in on this Illinois set.
- That's crazy.
- Link, I'm really impressed with the fact
that you got that,
but you still lost by quite a bit.
Chase!
- Yes?
- I mean, this thing's just.
- One of these days, green jacket,
you will be mine!
But until then, thanks for liking, commenting,
subscribing, and pitying me.
- You know what time it is.
- Hi, I'm Paul and I just took apart my Amazon Echo
and it's time to spin the volume,
I mean, Wheel of Mythicality.
- You know, he said volume because he's like,
his mind has been on this and hopefully
he told his parents about this.
- Right.

some of the most crazy rich people in history

the Wheel of Mythicality's gonna land.
- [Rhett] Want to sweatshirt with a vintage photo
of us wearing a cool t-shirt of a gorilla?
Well, what a coincidence.
