-Welcome back to "The Tonight Show."
We're going to play a mind-blowing game,
but first I'm going to need someone to play against.
He hit a record-breaking 62 home runs this season
and was named this year's
American League Most Valuable Player.
Please welcome the captain of the New York Yankees,
the one and only Aaron Judge!
[ Cheers and applause ]
We're about to face off in a game called "Blow Your Mind."
[ Roots vocalizing ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Questlove?!
Questlove, do you want to explain
how this game works, please?
[ Hissing ]
-Yes, Jimmy.
In this game, I will read each of you a mind-blowing fact.
And you must decide if that fact is true or false.
[Echoing] If you choose wrong,
we will blow your mind.
[ Cheers and applause ]
You will be blasted in the face
from the front of the tube in front of you.
Make the right choice, and your opponent gets their mind blown.
-Before we start, let's give ourselves
a little spritz of water.
[ Laughter ]
Okay. -Are we ready?
Aaron, you ready?
-Oh, yeah. -Alright.
The first fact is for Aaron.
-This is for Aaron. -Thank you, Jimmy.
Aaron, true or false?
Hunting unicorns is legal in Michigan.
[ Laughter ]
-Wow.
Well, one of my best friends
went to the University of Michigan,
and he always talked about some hunting trips he went on.
He never told me what he was hunting.
[ Laughter ]
I got to go true. It's got to be true, right?
-Aaron, the answer may surprise you.
[ Music sting ]

[ Laughter ]
-What did you -- What did you just say?
-Chickens cluck with regional accents.
-Regional accents. -Like a city chicken

"Yo, hey, yo. Cluck, cluck over'ere.

-Yeah, here we go. Sid? I never heard that.
-Sid, yeah. Sid Cookie.
-Oh, come on. That's not true. [ Laughs ]

Nurdle.
-Nurdle. Nurdle.
-Stop saying "a nurdle" every time I --
Alright, the blob of toothpaste that sits on your toothbrush

-The answer may surprise you.
-Yeah.

[ Ding ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
It is true.
Let's see that again in slow motion.
[ Audience chanting "Nurdle!" ]
-What is happening?
Alright. Okay.
[ Thunder crashes ]
What does this mean?
-Excuse me.
That sound means it's time for the final question.
And it comes with a twist. -What?
-If you answer incorrectly,
both of your minds will be blown.
-We're gonna help each other.
Aaron, this conundrum is for you.

Yes. -Yes.
It's wet. It's wet.
[ Audience shouting "No!" ]
-Answer the question, please. Is water wet?
[ Audience shouting "No!" ]
-I'm just going to say -- -True.
-Yes.
-Well, the answer... may surprise you.

That is incorrect.
Whatever is filled with water is wet,
but water itself is not wet.

We're talking to Aaron after the break.
Stick around, everybody!
