- Today, we put it all on the line for some cookies.
- Let's talk about that.
Good Mythical Morning.
- Today is November 18th and if you look at the 18
in November 18th you'll see that there's an eight
and if you look at the eight, you'll see that
it looks a lot like two cookies on top of one another
and so therefore, as we do every single day,
we have significantly tied the date to the subject matter
of today's show, which is all about cookies.
- 'Cause the one looks like a long fingerling cookie.
- (laughs) Fingerling.
- Right? We were thinking that.
- Yeah, a fingerling cookie.
- And the N in November looks like a...
- Three fingerling cookies put together
in the shape of an N. - An N-shaped cookie.
- We can really spell anything with fingerling cookies.
- Well, let's just play Cookie Roulette!
- Okay as you can see, we are facing off over
the cookie roulette wheel that spins.
- Look at that, it's got real cookies in it.
- Yes it does.
- So we got everything we need.
Well, except for a host to ask us cookie-related questions.
If only my father were here to be the host.
Wait, he is.
Welcome my dad Charles to Good Mythical Morning.
- Look at that!
- It's my dad!
- I didn't know you were gonna be here.
Actually I did 'cause you were standing right there.
- How y'all doin'?
- We are good.
- Did you wear this on the plane from North Carolina?
- Yeah, all the way.
I mean, I knew it was gonna do a cookie thing, so.
(all laugh)
- Do you know a lot about cookies?
- I know I like to eat 'em.
- Okay.
- Oh, well you're gonna love eating all these.
- Oh no, I'm not gonna eat any of 'em, that's y'alls job.
- So what are the rules?
- Well, we have six questions and we're gonna see
how many y'all can get right.
- If you get it wrong when you're asked the question,
you have to spin the wheel and then
eat the cookie that it lands on.
- If you get it right, the other guy has to
spin and eat the cookie that it lands on.
- I'm told that these cookies could be nice
or they could be... - Naughty.
- Y'all will figure that out when you taste stuff.
- We'll figure that out and then after we eat it,
then we'll be told what it is that we're eating.
- Okay.
- Dad, who's going first?
- You are. - Yeah.
- Chef Charles.
- First question is what were the names
of the original two Keebler head elves?
The answer A is Dinkit and Creamo,
B, Renault and Squire
or C, JJ and Ernie?
- JJ and Ernie, Renault and Squire or Dinkit and sink it?
- Dinkit and Creamo.
- Creamo, that's different.
I'm glad you got this question.
- Y'all lived here so long you don't
understand Southern anymore?
(Rhett laughs)
- I got you, I just don't think that that's the answer.
I'm gonna go with Renault and Squire, father.
For the win.
- And that's an incorrect answer.
- Yeah! (buzzer sounds)
- What is it?
- The answer is C, JJ and Ernie.
- Spin the wheel, Link!
- What's it gonna land on?
Going for the.... Looks like a...
- [Rhett] Four.
- Looks like an overcooked sugar cookie.
- That looks pretty simple, that can't be bad.
- I'm not gonna smell it first.
- Take a big bite. - Rule is you don't smell it.
You just take a bite.
- Big bite.
- Pretty good.
- What's in that one?
- [Stevie] It's just a sugar cookie.
- Woo! (laughs)
- Okay, you got off easy.
Ask me a question.
- Let him have it, Dad. - Chef Charles.
- For Rhett, what is the title
of Cookie Monsters signature song?
A, C is for Cookie, B, Counting my Cookies
or C, Cookie O'Clock?
- Ah, I didn't pay much attention in those days.
- You were young.
- C is for Cookie is very Sesame Street.
So does that mean that it is more likely
that that's his song?
Cookie O'Clock, I feel like I would know about that time.
I'm gonna go with A, C is for Cookie.
- That's correct!
- (laughs) Hey brother!
- Sing him the song.
- No, I don't know the song.
♪ C is for Cookie, it's good enough for me ♪
- Oh, you even know the song?
- Yeah.
- So you should spin the wheel.
- Man, I gotta eat another cookie.
- [Rhett] You do.
- [Link] All right, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme a good one.
Ooh!
- That one's got lots of ingredients, 11.
- Yes, it does.
- Take a big bite, Neil.
It doesn't look good, man.
- There's chocolate, but there's something crunchy.
What's in this?
- [Stevie] Well it's not chocolate, it's beans and cheese.
- What?
- Well there's chocolate in there.
- There's no chocolate in this?
- [Stevie] No. - Taste it.
- No, I didn't lose!
- Beans and cheese cookie.
Surprisingly good, father.
Try the cookie.
- He does it.
- I've eat worse.
(all laugh)
- Okay, all right, ask that boy question again.
- What is John Legends favorite cookie?
A is peanut butter and oatmeal chocolate chunk.
- That's a good one. - B,
White chocolate macadamia nut and C, snicker doodles.
- When did John Legend disclose this information?
That's my question.
- On his MySpace page.
- Oh, okay.
Yeah, I don't go to that.
- I don't know dad.
This is just a blind guess at this point,
but I'm gonna go with snicker doodles
because I like how you say it.
- Well, you shouldn't have liked it
because he liked peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chunk.
You always go with
your first thing. - Spin the wheel, Link!
- Man, I get to eat another cookie?
They're gonna start getting worse, I feel like.
And six. - Six.
That's a small one.
- Little wafer of a cookie.
- That can't be bad.
- It's got some whiteness on top.
- You should almost get that whole thing in your mouth.
(Link shouts)
- I knew I shouldn't have gone white side down.
That is sour!
- So that's a super sour one?
- Try it, dad. - No, no.
- Don't make your dad try every... he's the host, man!
- Ugh. - That's not gonna work.
- [Stevie] That's a super sour cookie.
- Super sour.
- That's traumatically sour.
- Ugh, okay, while Link is recovering
I'll go ahead and answer my question and get it right
so he has to eat another cookie.
- Okay, it says Wally Amos, founder of Famous Amos Cookies
started out as a talent agent
and discovered which of the following musicians?
A, Peter, Paul and Mary, B, Simon and Garfunkel
or C, Janice Joplin?
Now I know y'all ain't old enough
to know none of these people.
- I know all of them!
But I would've thought that Famous Amos
was older than all of them.
Oh man, who would be discovered by a cookie maker?
Janice Joplin doesn't mix well with cookies,
Simon and Garfunkel and Peter, Paul and Mary
both fit the cookie profile that I have in my mind.
But it's tougher to discover three people.
So I'm gonna go with Simon and Garfunkel for the win.
- Well I'm sorry, but Rhett, you got it right.
(Rhett laughs)
- Woo!
That's right.
Spin the wheel, Neil!
- All right.
Already got a belly full of cookies.
- Yeah, you do.
I got nothing in my stomach right now.
- Thanks for coming dad.
- You're welcome.
- You're doing a great job.
- I'm trying.
- And three.
That just looks like white chocolate macadamia nut
that John Legend doesn't like.
- He probably likes it, but it's not his favorite.
- Not his favorite.
Take a big one.
- Oh, ah!
Garlic.
- It's got healing properties!
Chew it on up!
- Your brain tells you the wrongness level is very high.
- I can smell it from here.
- I know, man.
- Well, now you got another question to get wrong, Link.
- Okay.
You may know Oreos by their original slogan, "Oh oh Oreo"
but they're cycled through seven catch phrases since then.
Which of the following is not an Oreo slogan?
A, The Original Twister, B, It's a Slam Dunk
or C, Who's the Kid with the Oreo Cookie?
(all laugh)
- Everyone laughed at the last one
but I think that one's for real.
- It seems like a good one though, doesn't it?
- What was the first one?
- The first one is the A is The Original Twister.
- You twist it off.
- You don't have to though.
- A is my final answer.
- You get to eat another cookie.
(Rhett laughs) (buzzer sounds)
What do you do with an Oreo cookie?
- You twist it off.
- You twist it and do what?
- Dunk it!
- Yes, a slam dunk.
- But that's not one of 'em. - Oh.
(all laugh)
- Do you see where I get it from?
We're in this together.
You and I are both eating this next cookie.
- But you were wrong either way.
- And so was he.
- The cream filled one. - Ooh.
- That can't be bad.
Why don't you to do the original twister?
- Break off a piece of that.
Three, two... well we dink it, then we sink it.
(crew laughs)
- What, is it perfume?
- [Stevie] That's a lotion cookie.
- It's got lotion as the filling?
- That's good, I swallowed.
- Oh!
- He put you to shame, man.
- That was not easy to do.
- I don't know if I eat worse than that or no.
- You did good.
- Okay guys, I'm still here.
- I feel kind of bad dad, sorry.
- Okay.
Taraji P Hensons character on Empire, Cookie Lyon,
is known for her sassy catch phrases.
Which of the following lines has not
come out of Cookie's mouth?
- Not.
- "Yay, that's my name, take a bite."
B, "Tell him, boo-hoo kitty!"
Or "Ain't no sugar in this Cookie for you."
- Okay, you know what?
It's one of those things that's been recommended many times,
Empire, that I should watch it,
never watched it. - Me neither.
- I do know there's a character named Cookie.
Now I just have to think about the ads that I've seen
for the show and guess what kind of writing would be done.
What was the one about the kitty?
- "Tell him boo-boo kitty!"
- That's the kind of thing that no one would make up,
that has to be on the show and then the one about,
there's no sugar in this cookie for you
almost seems too clever.
C is my answer.
- Well, C is the correct answer.
(Rhett and Link laugh)
- Gosh!
What is happening?
- Spin the wheel, Neil! (laughs)
- Okay, okay, okay, what's happening?
Okay, two. - [Rhett] Two.
- Looks like a red velvet cookie.
- Yeah, it's probably not though.
- I can take anything.
- Listen, I know that I'm just the bystander in this game
but I feel like you should set this up so that you
eat to the center, whatever that is.
The big black hole in the middle.
- Mr. I haven't eaten any cookies at all.
- I'm just doing all I can do.
I'm trying to just create the best experience.
Oh gosh, oh.
(crew laughs)
- Not red velvet.
- [Stevie] Link, that's a congealed blood cookie.
(both groan)
- I'm so glad I got it right.
- Sing the cookie song, dad.
- Cookie, cookie, cookie!
- He doesn't remember it either.
♪ C is for cookie, that's good enough for me ♪
I did it.
- Nice job, Link.
- All right, boys, you've made it to the final round
where we put you in the hot seat!
- Here it comes.
Oh, so it's like a cookie sheet
and we are on it like a hot seat.
- Yeah, kind of.
- Right? - That's right
and I have one more question for you.
I'd like for you to write your answers down
on the white boards in front of you.
- Okay.
- And whoever is closest to the right answer
gets first choice of which cookie to eat off the hot sheet.
- [Rhett] One of those three.
- The question is the world's largest cookie
was created in Flat Rock, North Carolina
in 2003 and had a diameter of 101 feet.
How much did it weigh?
- Ooh, I'm not good at these type of questions.
- And we got two engineering students,
can't figure that out.
(crew laughs)
- 101 Foot diameter?
- Oh gosh.
- I've written my answer.
- I've got an answer.
- You wanna see mine first, or?
- That's fine.
- My answer is 3,285 pounds.
- Wow, that's so crazy, I almost said 3,300 pounds
but then I was like, nope, I'm gonna go with 2,400 pounds.
- Both of y'all have to eat a cookie it
'cause it's 40,000 pounds.
- What? (Rhett laughs)
That's crazy, did they make it on the Flat Rock?
- Okay well, you were closer though, Link.
- So I'm closer, I get to go first
which doesn't guarantee I'm not gonna eat something nasty.
Cookie one looks so approachable that I'm skipping it.
I'm gonna go with cookie three
because it looks the grossest.
- Interesting.
I agree with your logic about cookie number one
being deceptively simple.
Cookie number two.
- Pry it off, Chase.
- Okay Rhett, they're bringing your cookie in
and I guess because Link won, you get to eat first.
- Good.
- What is it?
- [Stevie] That's a cat food cookie.
(all laugh)
- It's good.
Keep eating it if you like it so much.
- It's really not that bad.
- I can tell.
- Cats don't have it too bad.
- I think that does increase the odds
that mine is not gonna be bad.
- I hit a little fishy liver spot.
It's not pleasant but it's not that bad.
- I've eaten lotion, garlic and blood
so I think you're gonna be okay.
I'm hoping this is good.
I think this is just an oatmeal cookie
with some chocolates and some raisins.
The cat will get that.
- Yeah, house cat.
- (sighs) Okay.
- [Stevie] Yeah, that's John Legend's favorite cookie,
a peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chunk.
- Peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chunk, finally!
- You ended on a great note, Link.
- This one's a good one dad, you wanna try it?
- Oh yeah, if it's a good cookie.
(all laugh)
- All right.
Dad, thanks so much for being on the show.
I endured so much pain for this pleasure.
Thank you for being along for the ride.
- And thank you for liking, commenting and subscribing.
- You know what time it is.
- Hey, this is Louis from the Philippines
and it's time to spin the wheel of mythicality.
- Watch Good Mythical Crew on this channel tomorrow morning,
where you can see the crew make some of these cookies
and also check out on Sunday,
a new music video from Buddy System.
This one's from the tough choices saw.
- Woo, click through to Good Mythical More.
We're gonna hang out with my dad
and we're gonna eat some more of these cookies.
- Freeze frame?
(camera shutter clicks) (gentle music begins)
If we ever need to poison a large group of people,
we should use cookies.
- That's a great thing to say on the internet.
- Well, I mean, just in case.
You never know what's gonna happen in the world.
