- Peanut Butter Cup, oh Peanut Butter Cup.
Whenfore art thou invented?
- Let's talk about that.
(upbeat music)
- Good mythical morning!
- Quick heads up that we're gonna be
taking a bit of a spring break over the next three weeks.
Meaning we're only gonna be releasing episodes
on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
So we're not going away completely for a break.
We're just stretching it out a little bit,
but just you wait, baby.
'Cause come April 18th, we'll be back to five days a week.
The schedule that you know and love.
- And until then,
don't forget that we're still looking for the perfect item
to replace the black bass guitar
that used to hang right here.
- That's right.
- You got something you wanna send us?
Well, we wanna hear your ideas,
especially if your name is Gregg with two G's.
Well, three G's, just two G's at the end.
- We are accepting your serious offers
for something that can live there.
So click the link below to our Twitter post,
where you can reply with your photo
and sales pitch right there
for everybody to see, comment on, and like.
Your special item could be a part of the Mythical set.
- Okay. But that's enough about re, redecorating.
- Rederecorating?
- Rederecorating.
Now you're the peanut butter man around here.
- Thank you.
- So how well do you know your Reese's history?
- I would say you're not far behind me
as being a peanut butter man.
- Well, yeah, but I think you're in the lead on that.
- Yeah. I'm actually trying to cut back.
- Really?
- Yeah, because of my cholesterol.
- Mm. - Yeah.
I'm trying almond butter to see if, in my smoothies,
to see if my cholesterol goes down.
- Is it, hold on. Is that true?
Is that, have you read this on the internet,
that that would help?
- I'm just trying anything.
- Oh, okay.
- That's not what we're doing today.
- No, it's not.
- We're actually gonna be eating peanut butter today,
but no, I don't know their history.
- Okay, well, how do you feel about
a potential third loss in a row coming on?
Because that could happen today.
- But it also couldn't.
It's time for The Shuffleboard Game, Reese's Edition.
- Welcome to The Shuffleboard Game zone.
- In each round we're gonna get to sample a Reese's snack
and then we're gonna glide our peanut butter pucks
down onto the decade we believe
it was introduced into the world.
Whoever's closest to the right answer wins that round.
- Bump fest rules are still in effect.
- Yeah, thank you.
Whoever wins gets a stash of peanut butter to take home.
Thank you.
- Let's shuffle.
(upbeat music)
- Really?
- Really, are we really gonna do this?
- You really gonna do this?
- All right, what two words were you trying to say?
- I was trying to say ready.
- Well, I'm really ready.
Whoa, oh.
- Oh, look at that.
Take 5.
And it comes in two sharable.
- Sharable for two boys.
- Now, have you ever had this?
- Just now, yes.
- There's a pretzel.
- [Rhett] Pretzel, caramel, peanut butter, peanut.
- Caramel, peanut butter, chocolate.
- Take 5 'cause I guess there's five ingredients.
- It's pretty good as long as you like pretzels.
- Do you like pretzels?
- I don't love pretzels.
- I gotta say I feel at a distinct disadvantage
because there's multiple times in my life
where you've brought attention to like, new candy.
Usually if it was peanut butter.
Like, you know, "The peanut butter Twix is back."
Like you'll, like, it's like something you'll bring out.
- I take notice.
- But there's a lot on the line because if I win,
that's three in a row and that hasn't happened in this game
in I think years, man.
That means you get like a special advantage next time.
That would be cool to see.
- No, I'm gonna win.
- I'm afraid you might be right, sir.
- I'm the peanut butter daddy.
- Okay, I remember taking note of Take 5.
Okay, like being like, "Oh, there's another thing.
I'm not gonna try it."
I feel like this is either the '90s or the 2000s.
So I'm gonna kind of try to nestle in there.
- [Link] Okay. You are firmly on the year 2000.
- I went a little bit further than I planned or anticipated.
- I actually think this is more recent than the 2000s,
which leaves me with 2010.
This thing is fresh on the scene.
The board's moving fast today, huh?
- [Rhett] Yeah.
- Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop!
I like that.
That's a good. - It's a fast board.
- [Link] That's a good defensive position.
- [Stevie] Reese's Take 5 bars
get their name from the five ingredients
it takes to make it.
Caramel, pretzels, peanuts, and peanut butter
all bundled together under one chocolate roof.
These first hit store shelves all the way back in 2004.
(both laughing)
- Yeah, I was an adult!
- 2004?
- An adult in 2004!
(upbeat music)
- Uh-huh.
(Rhett laughing)
Hero in a half shell, baby.
- You're a teenage mutant ninja turtle.
- We have Reese's eggs.
- These might be one of the best iterations
of the entire Reese's family because.
- Crack a yolk, baby.
- [Rhett] It's so peanut buttery.
- Yeah, the ratio is nice.
- You don't have to deal with the hard ridges.
Sometimes you can hurt yourself on those.
- I kind of like the ridges.
Okay, since you're in the lead,
you have the disadvantage of continuing to go first.
(Link mimicking bass guitar)
- Thanks for giving me a bass line.
- Yeah, man.
I wanna support you emotionally
so that I can beat you physically.
- I don't know when Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
were invented.
- I know when Easter was invented.
That was like 33 A.D..
- Right, mm-hm.
I don't know, the '60's feels, this just feels like,
no, that's too early.
'70s, right at the pinnacle.
That feels like, it's like,
"Hey, we gotta do some things to like
kind of tap into the holiday of it all."
Like, '80s is not there.
Oh, '80s is there.
- [Link] '80s in the back right.
- '70s was calling my name.
I'm gonna nestle it right there on the top of the peak.
- Fast board.
- Oh, God, no no no no no no no!
- [Link] You really over shot it.
You know what?
- Why did I do that?
- It's a fast board, but I am close to the '80s,
which is not, which is not a bad guess.
- 1970 is not right, dude.
That is way, I mean,
as I was a kid in the '80s getting my Easter basket,
I know my mama, I mean the Easter Bunny,
would've given me those peanut butter eggs,
but it could be the '90s.
But I'm thinking it's '80s, maybe late '80s.
- You're gonna nestle.
I mean, the opportunity to nestle is wide open.
- I'd love to bump you into the corner of 1950
and just lurk.
- [Rhett] You can try that.
- Box you out of everything.
- So you're trying to go for '80s
and you want to consider bumping me?
Oh yeah, do that. Do that.
- Yeah, because if I go for '80,
then everything else on the board, if I'm wrong, you'll get.
I gotta get 80 and everything else.
Okay. I like that.
- You're closer to '80, you're closer to '90.
You're closer to, you might be closer to everything.
Well, you're not closer to the '60s.
- Mission accomplished, 'cause '60s ain't right.
- [Stevie] Reese's peanut butter eggs offer
the same peanut butter goodness as the original,
but in a seasonal shape even the Easter Bunny can love.
- Yeah.
- [Stevie] I have bad news for you
and your relationship with your mom, Link,
because they hopped onto the scene in 1967.
- [Link] Dang. This is close.
- That's too close to.
- We're gonna have to measure.
So it's from the puck to the,
the shortest distance in 1960.
- [Rhett] Gotta do this without.
- [Link] Without what?
- Without contacting the puck at all.
Okay. So you are exactly 41.
- Okay.
I think I beat you. Oh no, I don't know.
- Nope. Yep.
I'm exactly 30, 37.
- Dang it!
Rhett gets the point.
- Whoo!
(upbeat music)
- Yeah. Little psych.
Listen, Stevie's got a new podcast
and this is exciting because she is literally reconnecting
with her best friend from high school
through the means of a podcast
and they're calling it "Best Friends Back, Alright!"
Her best friend Neagheen, back from G-boro, North Carolina.
- The friendship has been stale for 15 years.
- Yeah.
- So they're taking it back off the shelf
and see if it still exists.
Wherever podcast are found.
"Best Friends Back, Alright!"
Ha! - Ha ha.
- Now we're with the classic cup.
The classic ridged edge.
Just eat the ridges, man.
- Oh, the ridge is good.
Now that I've had it without ridges.
Oh, oh man. That's so good.
That's so good.
- [Link] Go first, man. Dang, cut me some slack.
- Oh, no bass line this time?
- [Link] Nope.
- Hey, come on, man.
- I'm no longer supporting you emotionally at all.
- Like the form, I know I say form factor a lot.
The form factor is old school 'cause of the paper cup.
Like it's something your grandma would make
in a little thing.
In like a little tin little thing
that she pulls out of the oven, you know?
'Cause you bake these, of course.
Like we're going all the way back to the '30s.
Maybe the '20s.
- I'm gonna nestle in '90.
Play a little bit safe.
- [Link] That's fast. Is it gonna slow down?
Nope. - Dang it.
- This is such a fast board.
I gotta just, I got a lot of adrenaline.
- I love your work, Rhett.
You've really got yourself in a corner here.
- I should have just put it at the top of the thing
because it's a bump Fest and I would've made you
have to do some work.
- Yep. Okay.
So I'm pretty much guaranteed this one,
unless I do something really Link-like.
(crew laughing) - Yeah.
- So I'm like, I'm not, I'm not gonna be myself.
You know who I'm gonna be?
- Who?
- I think I'm gonna be Grover from "Sesame Street".
- Okay. - Grover.
He seems like a cool guy to hang out with.
- Yeah. Is he a strategic thinker?
- I don't know. I just wanna channel a little bit of Grover.
Is that how he talked?
- I don't know.
- [Link] I'm gonna smush you into the corner, my friend.
- Okay, well, don't get too smushy.
- [Link] Oh no.
Oh no.
- [Rhett] It took a little right turn.
- What happened?
Wait, it was, why did it just turn at the last second?
- Well, you're still closer to everything except 1980.
I'm pretty sure Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
were not invented in 1980, so.
Even if it's 1930, you're more in 1930.
- There's little more of me in 1930. Stevie?
- [Stevie] It was in a Pennsylvania basement
that H.B. restarted his confectionary company,
a company that would give birth to America's
number one-selling candy, the OGPBC,
or the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, back in 1928.
- Ah, it's '28. - Okay, I'll take it.
I'll take it. I mean just barely.
- They're old. - I'm taking it.
(upbeat music)
- I'm gonna make this. It's gonna spin so fast.
When it comes off, it's gonna spin so fast
it might hurt you, okay?
Get ready. Move your elbows.
- I'm gonna catch it with just my elbows though.
Okay.
That didn't work.
- That wasn't cool.
- Pumpkins. - Now.
- We got some peanut butter pumpkins.
- This is the pinnacle.
This is the actual pinnacle of Reese's.
- You keep thinking that.
- No, no, no.
Look, look how much peanut butter is in there.
I know there's no ridges, but good Lord.
Look at that.
I love these.
- You gotta still go first.
- It's twice as big as the egg.
If they were doing eggs in the '60s,
how long did it take to get to Halloween?
Was it like literally the next decade?
Did they wait until the '80s to do it?
Still a bump fest.
So I'm at a disadvantage every time I'm going first
because I'm,
and I'm also doing a horrible job of placing it.
- Yep.
I don't know how you're winning.
- I feel like '80s is a good guess.
'Cause it feels like two decades later
maybe they thought of this,
but because the bump fest is in effect,
I'm gonna try to be on the '90s.
'Cause it's somewhere in between the '70s and the '80s.
- [Link] Oh.
- Again too, too strong.
- [Link] Okay.
Yeah. I gotta play, I gotta play to win, man.
- So what does that mean?
- It means bumping you,
bumping you over there to 1950 and the year 2000
and leaving me where you are.
I wanna be where you are, man.
All right. How do I do this?
I think it's 1970, but only 55% sure.
45% sure is 1980. That's why I have to bump you.
- Okay.
Don't screw it up.
- And bumps are fun.
Heck yes!
♪ Hunka dunka, hunka dunka, look at what I did ♪
♪ It looks like you haven't even shuffled yet, ha ♪
- That's the most effective bump in bump fest history.
I gotta hand it to you,
I might have to give you a bass line.
♪ It looks like you haven't even shuffled yet, ha ♪
- [Stevie] And followed by such a humble celebration.
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. - Good, I bumped good.
- [Stevie] Have been the crown jewel of Halloween halls
for nearly 100 years.
But the company didn't show its spooky side until the launch
of their peanut butter pumpkins in 1993.
- Oh dang, I was on the '90s!
Shoot.
- Y'all need to wake up, Reese's.
Y'all sleeping on yourself.
- I actually, I think they're doing a pretty fine job.
They've got too many things at this point.
(upbeat music)
I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna just catch just the top.
Just the nipple.
- Just the tip of it.
Oh gosh.
There were Reese's Pieces under there.
- Reese's Pieces.
- I mean, we didn't. - I'm sorry.
- We didn't break this glass.
- I'm sorry. It's Pyrex.
- So next time.
Hey, we got something to look forward to next time.
- Yeah we do. Okay.
So Reese's Pieces.
- Man, these are good.
- Peanut butter candy in a crunchy shell.
- You know the weird thing about these?
- [Link] They're not M&Ms.
- No chocolate.
- [Rhett] They're just peanut butter with a candy coating.
- Yeah, that's what I just said.
- Yeah, no chocolate. It's weird, isn't it?
- All right.
It all comes down to this.
We are tied going into the final round.
I've lost two in a row.
If you win now this will be the first turkey,
three in a row, since last summer when you beat me.
- Oh yeah. It's turkey time.
- So according to the rules, which, uh, we remember,
bumps are out.
I go first because I lost the last game.
- That gives you a slight advantage
because I can't bump you.
- Yeah. So I can kind of box you out here.
Okay.
- Oh, they're good though.
There's no chocolate, but they're good.
- '20, '60, '90, and 2000 are no longer on the board.
I think this is probably the first thing that Reese's
started branching out into,
taking a little cue from the M&Ms.
- [Rhett] Man, they're good.
- '30s or '50s.
- They're good at the movies.
If you put one of these and a Junior Mint
together at the movies,
you make your lip balm flavor.
- So if I go, that's right.
If I go right in the middle of the pyramid,
then I'm forcing you to make a choice,
assuming you agree with me, between '30s and '50s,
or I could make the choice
and block you out more emphatically,
forcing you to only choose the other one.
So do I wanna choose or do I want you to choose?
I think the answer is '50s.
I wanna land on the right side of the year 2000 to kind of,
to block you out of 1950.
- There's a lot of thought going into this.
- I'm making the bold move. I'm just going for 1950.
Okay. That's okay though.
Do you, what do you think, man?
What do you think?
- I think they're more recent.
If you remember a movie called "E.T",
I seem to remember reading something at some point
about how the featuring of the Reese's Pieces in "E.T."
is what really brought them into the vernacular.
- Oh.
- That they were not super popular before that.
So honestly, Link, I think it's the freaking '70s
because I would've said the '60s,
but the '60s have been taken.
- Oh gosh, man.
- (laughing) And I'm gonna just try to just nestle.
See, now, here's the thing.
If I accidentally hit you,
I've been doing horrible bumps today.
If I accidentally hit you,
you get to put mine wherever you want
and put yours back where it was.
So I just gotta basically just get between you
and the end of the board.
(Rhett laughing)
Oh, please tell me the logic is true.
Please tell me the logic is true.
- It could be the '50s.
It could totally be the '50s. M&Ms?
- [Stevie] A chocolate-free Reese's
may sound like a nightmare, but Reese's Pieces,
candy coated bites of Reese's peanut butter,
have been making themselves at home
in people's hearts since 1978.
(Rhett mimicking bass guitar)
- [Link] You turkey!
You turkey!
Dang. Bring him his prize.
- I get a stash of peanut butter.
- Man, it's been a long time since
I've been losing this much.
- I'm just trying to balance this year out a little bit.
- So you get a Reese's stash,
a 'stache of Reese's, but that's what it is.
- Yeah.
I think I'm gonna have to hold it in place.
- Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell.
- You know what time it is.
- Hey, I'm Brian skiing in Beaver Creek, Colorado,
checking out some new McCoy Park terrain,
and it's time to spin the Wheel of Mythicality.
- Was that other dude part of the video or just like.
- Just a guy.
- Just a guy?
- Yeah. I think he felt that, that it was a wheel video.
- He was like, "I'm gonna be in a wheel video!"
