- Can we be brainteasing,
- While we're brain freezing?
- Let's talk about that.
(groovy theme music)
- Good mythical morning.
- Please welcome to the show, our friend and creator
of VSauce, Michael Stevens.
Thanks for being here, he's got a new YouTubeRed series
called Mind Field that explores the human brain
and the human mind, so today we thought maybe
we would explore the limits of our own human minds.
- Together.
- First of all, who looks smarter,
just between the two of us?
I mean he does have glasses.
- The glasses really help, but I'm gonna go,
- But also I have a dumb look sometimes, sometimes.
- But the street smarts, you know?
- Oh, you think I got street smarts?
- Someone to cut down a tree, - He doesn't wear leather.
- I would probably go for Rhett.
- And I've got the beard, too.
You've got the beard and the glasses, so you look like
a legitimately smart guy with street smarts.
- And I've like lost all the hair,
cause like all the thoughts pushed them away or something.
- All those street smarts. - That's exactly how it works.
We haven't been doing much thinking.
- Alright let's play, Brain Freeze if You Please.
- [Rhett] Or Even if You Don't Please.
- Hello, and welcome to Brain Freeze, if You Please,
the only game show that puts the ice in nice.
Alright, now I'm your host Michael Stevens,
and I'm gonna be reading off some brainteasers
to these two fine young gentlemen, our contestants today.
- To these lasers.
- Losers.
- Only one of us is, - Only one of us
will be a laser.
- One will be a winner, however, before you answer
a question to win, you must induce a brain freeze first.
- Oh gosh.
- Which is why we have slushies perched on our helmets.
- That would explain the slushies on your heads, correct.
So when I say go, slurp down the slushies,
freeze your brains, tell me when you're experiencing
that terrible pain and then I will read the riddle,
and the first person to get it right wins the point.
- And then the overall loser gets what?
- Well, a punishment.
A punishment that is also a drink,
do you want me to tell you what it is now?
- Yeah. - Yes.
- Well, clearly if you lose this game, you need more brains.
Pork brains.
- Oh gosh.
- Yeah, I've got a pork brain smoothie prepared,
with some almond milk, mmm, choice, choice.
- That'll hit the spot.
- And the loser gets the privilege of drinking it.
And they must drink it.
- You're gonna enforce it.
- Any other questions before we begin?
- Is this still ultimately our show, or is that gone now?
- No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
- Alright, Good Michael Morning presents
Brain Freeze if You Please, are you guys ready to slurp?
On your mark, get set, brain freeze.
(playful electronic music)
This is not smart, don't try this at home.
- I've got one. - You got it, you got it.
Yep, both of you have it?
Okay, here's the question,
I met my widow's sister in a grocery store
and she ran away, what am I?
- Widow's sister, widow, widow.
- I met my widow's sister in a grocery store
and she ran away, what am I?
- I can't think right now. - I'm dead.
- Correct, correct, correct, I'm dead,
maybe I'm a ghost or something.
- If I have a widow, I'm dead.
- Oh gosh. - I'm a ghost,
I'm a dead ghost. - Man, whew.
- Are you still feeling,
- There was a lot of liquid at first that wasn't cold,
and then I hit the cold liquid,
and it didn't take long once that happened.
- Good, good, now I don't know,
should we just keep going, keep the brain freeze going,
I don't know how they physically, biologically work.
You're feeling better?
- I'm feeling good now, so.
- Okay, so we've got a point over here.
Those pork brains, can you smell em already?
- Yeah, they're getting close.
- Alright, we're gonna start Round Two,
and I want you guys to start slurping,
three, two, one, brain freeze.
(playful electronic music)
- Argh, okay, I got it. - I got it.
- You both got em?
Question Number Two, if you remove my spine, I still
stand tall, I don't drink much water,
but you can drink from me, what am I?
- Straw. - I'm a book, a book.
- Nope. - A straw.
- Nope.
- If you remove your spine?
- I still stand tall, I don't drink much water,
- A notebook. - But you can drink from me,
what am I?
- A cup. - A water fountain.
- Nope, nope.
- You drink from something, - A shell?
- You remove the spine.
- And it still stands tall.
- A book, I'm telling you.
- Nope, you can't drink from a book.
- Yes you can, you drink knowledge.
- A well. - Nope.
- Spine, spine, spine.
- It's a spine?
- Give us a hint, what doesn't have a spine,
- Lives in the desert.
- A lizard.
- A cactus. - That's it.
- Rhett, nice job, we've got a tied game now.
- I had a little trouble,
I had a lot of leakage on that one.
- I was leaking, too.
- That's part of the game, that's part of the game.
Alright, so, we got a neck-and-neck game right now,
we're gonna move on to Round Three.
- How does a cactus, oh, a spine, like a,
- Like a spine, like spiny.
- Dang it. - Yeah, little wordplay
here on Brain Please if you Freeze.
- A book would totally work.
- But you can't drink from a book.
- You drink knowledge, Michael.
- If you soak it, and then squeeze the pages,
but he's wrong anyway, why am I trying
to argue for him, let's go!
- You got the point.
Okay, we're gonna do Round Three,
you guys feeling ready, I really don't want
anyone to get hurt, but I kinda do,
so Round Three's gonna begin.
Three, two, one, brain freeze.
(playful electronic music)
- Owuhh. - Brain freeze.
- Mmm, mmm, mmm. - Brain freeze, brain freeze.
- It's difficult to pull me, and useful to cut me,
but if you grind me, you'll get a headache, what am I?
- Someone at the club.
- No. - Grind?
- If you grind me, you'll get a headache.
- Difficult to, - My teeth, my teeth.
- Teeth, teeth.
Nice job, two to one.
- That causes a headache?
- Heck yeah it does.
- Can be pretty, pretty painful.
- Okay, I'm not familiar with that phenomenon.
- I don't like to pull em either.
- But you're both familiar with pain right now,
imagining pain in the head.
- I'm also familiar with having to pee.
- Yes, this is a lot of liquid.
- My stomach, if you could see it right now,
stomach cam. - It's full.
- It's so, gosh, it's so full.
- Okay, now, we're gonna move on to Round Four,
and this is my favorite riddle, alright?
So if you guys are ready, I say we move in,
we've got a two-to-one game, so you could tie it up
or lose right now, Rhett.
Stakes couldn't be higher, Round Four.
Slurp down in three, two, one, brain freeze.
(playful electronic music)
- Ohhhhh. - Brain freeze, brain freeze,
come on Rhett.
Okay brain freeze, brain freeze.
All psychics are this, and CelebrityNetWorth.com
is this, what is it?
- Clairvoyant. - Nope.
- Broke?
- Psychics, - Dishonest.
- Nope. - Quacks, full of it.
- Think of another name for psychics, and what is it
that CelebrityNetWoth.com is doing?
- Foretelling. - Oh my gosh,
so close, so close.
- Fortuning. - Fortune tellers.
- Fortune tellers, wow, two to two, a tie game.
Just in time for the lightning round.
(crackling)
It is time for the lightning round
here on Brain Freeze if You Please.
We call this moment, the brain or freeze lightning round.
I'm gonna be giving you guys quotes
from either a brain, Albert Einstein, or a freeze, Ice T.
And then I wanna see if you guys can attribute
the quotes properly, so tell me who you think said them,
and if you're right you get a point,
if you're wrong you get zero points.
- And I will point out that they're both geniuses,
but only one of them married Coco.
- They are both geniuses, but we're just calling
Einstein the brain, and we're calling Ice T the freeze
for the purposes of today.
Who said it, you guys ready.
Oh wait, no, my gosh, oh my gosh,
we can't just do a trivia round, this is about
freezing your brains, we've got some freezing brain hats
to put on you. - Oh gosh.
Oh gosh - Oh my goodness.
- [Michael] And those are going
to become wet hats very quickly.
- That is, it's a solid ice.
- Right on your head.
- You look great Link.
- We're the polar ice caps.
- Okay, now as those brains chill,
we'll start the questions, here comes the lightning round.
Feeling good?
- Oooh yeah. - Yeah.
- Here we are, the hardest thing in the world
to understand is the income tax.
- Freeze. - Brain.
- Point brain, it was Albert Einstein who said that.
Okay, I think the most successful are the most paranoid.
- Freeze. - Brain.
- Freeze, Ice T, Ice T said that.
- Yeah, Ice T.
- If one person comes in and says this is the way
life should be, I think you're asking for chaos.
- Freeze. - Freeze.
- Freeze, point to both.
The important thing is to not stop questioning,
curiosity has its own reason for existing.
- Brain. - Brain.
- Brain, brain, correct,
Albert Einstein said that, point to each.
Quote, the only thing that interferes
with my learning is my education.
- Ice T, Freeze. - Freeze.
- Incorrect, it was Albert Einstein who said that, the brain
no point for either.
Quote, I've never been competitive with anybody but myself.
- Freeze. - Freeze.
- Freeze, correct, Ice T.
Any man who can drive safely while kissing a pretty girl
is simply not kissing, is not giving
the kiss the attention it deserves.
- Brain. - Freeze, I gotta try,
- It was brain, Einstein said it.
- You're in the hole Link, you're in the hole.
- Okay, finally, imagination
is more important than knowledge.
- Freeze. - Brain.
- It was the brain, point Link, nice job guys,
those are all the questions.
The score is six points to Link, eight points to Rhett.
- Woo, woo.
- That means you've won the punishment loser.
- I didn't want anything else in my stomach,
and definitely not pork brain.
