- We're taking a trip on a Lay's chips cruise ship
around the world.
- Let's talk about that.
(dynamic music)
Good mythical summer.
- Ooh, yes, it is.
We are back from our little break.
We hope that you missed us, seriously.
We need you to have missed us.
Boy, it will feel good to know
that you experienced just a little emptiness,
that now is being filled up again
with this fresh, piping hot summer episode.
- But we're not needy.
We're not the needy ones.
- No, no, of course not.
- Okay, since it is Good Mythical Summer,
we're gonna be dropping brand new episodes all summer long,
every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
But don't get worried now, to make up for
the missing two-fifths of the episodes you're accustomed to
we've come up with a plan that ensures
every episode will be exactly 13.333333333333%
better than normal.
So it all evens out in the end.
- Speaking of better than normal, in recent years,
Lay's, I'm talking about the chip company,
has really been stepping up their game
when it comes to really wild, new flavors.
You know what I'm talking about?
- Oh yeah, Lay's.
- They got all, the flavors.
- Yeah, lots of wild flavors.
- They do, seriously.
- Really been stepping up their game.
- I mean, since the Lay's executives are probably watching,
hello. - Welcome.
- You wanna pitch your dream chip flavor for 'em?
- Well, I try to be original
and come up with something unexpected, but you know me.
Baked bean flavor, it needs to happen.
- I would like a flavored chip that makes me feel like
I've gotten away with a crime.
Like I don't wanna do crime,
but I want to taste what it feels like
to have gotten away with it.
It could be shoplifting, like a shoplifting chip.
- Okay, shoplifting flavor.
Who knows?
Maybe that flavor already exists out there
somewhere in the world.
- Shoplifting scot-free.
- We're gonna find out.
It's time for...
- [Both] Where in the world do these
international Lay's chips come from?
- We're gonna be tasting salty, savory,
and maybe even some sweet Lay's chips.
- Or shoplifting.
- From all over the map.
We're gonna be throwing these darticles at the country
we think the Lay's chip came from.
And Chipmunk Chase is gonna get out of the way!
And then he's gonna get back in the way,
'cause he's gonna measure the distance.
And, from the right answer.
- Right, whoever has the lowest score
is the winner. - To our darts.
- Also, in the spirit of summer,
our flip-flop streak has continued.
Link and I have been going back and forth on this
for six months in a row! - Really?
- So if Link takes it today, yeah,
the streak's gonna be broken.
But I am calling upon the gods of summer
to lend me their sun-filled powers,
and give me this win, this time.
And also, I do get a little advantage
because I lost last time, I get the potato salayed.
It's a salayed 'cause Lay's.
- Oh, okay.
- Dart. - I'm like.
- To use at my leisure.
- You just say, you're talking weird.
- Potato salayed.
- All right, uh, let's play.
(funky music)
I forgot to say, did it seem like
I was really thinking before I was like, let's play?
It's 'cause I meant to say at the end,
whoever wins gets layed. - Ah.
- And I forgot to say that.
I don't know what that means.
- Yeah, we'll figure that out later.
- But I know what I think that means.
- Don't ever ask me, did it seem like I was thinking?
If you want to be encouraged.
- There's chips here.
Now, are we only supposed to smell these,
or is that just "Good Mythical More?"
- No, we eat these.
- Okay.
Good God, what is wrong with this chip?
First of all, I just gargled some mouthwash
right before this. - Good!
- That is not helping with the chip tasting.
I'm going first.
- [Rhett] It almost has a fruity taste to it.
- I actually thought it was birthday cake flavored.
Right off the bat we're getting a sweetness.
You got a fanny pack full of chips.
- Some sort of fruit.
- Chipmunk. - Ah.
Um.
(crew laughing)
- You almost pierced yourself with that dart,
correcting yourself.
- Yeah, like in my inner thigh.
- It could've gone to your sack.
You could hit your femoral artery
and then we watch you bleed out right here
on the first episode of "Good Mythical Summer."
- My femoral artery is in my sack?
- No, the first place, right there in your thigh.
And it comes out in spurts like as your heart beats.
- Morocco.
I'm seeing a lot of Instagram pics of Morocco.
I've got to go to Morocco. - It's very popular.
- The beaches look amazing.
What?
Okay.
I mean, I knew it was gonna happen.
- What are you talking about?
- But I never know when. - What do you mean?
I just, is that a present for me?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Can I open it?
- You can open it. - There's a hole in it.
- If you're a good, good little boy.
- There's a hole, right there?
- If you do a good little job.
You don't pierce your femoral artery or your sack.
- Don't tell a little boy to do a good job
because that's how my Aunt Vicky told me to take a dump.
Did you do a bad job?
They called it a bad job.
I'm going for Morocco.
- If you don't do a bad job in your pants during this game,
you get the present.
- Morocco, it's in the middle.
I have no clue what this is.
Birthday cake.
Oh. - Okay.
- Do you have any sort of indication
of what that tastes like?
- I think it tastes like cucumbers.
I didn't wanna say that though,
because I lost last time. - Seriously?
- And I want every advantage that I can possibly have.
- Oh wow, I think it does.
- You know how sometimes you have lettuce wraps?
I'm gonna do the thing where I try
to arrive at some logic, okay?
- You're going for Thailand then, huh?
- Yes.
It's like you've got the cucumber sauce
that goes on the lettuce wraps.
And I've always thought of those as like a Thai thing.
So, without too much thought.
- You might wanna go for Cyprus.
Ooh. - Whoa!
- [Link] That's a good aim.
- [Stevie] Okay, you just ate cucumber Lay's chips.
Cool, refreshing cucumber and salty Lay's potato chips
are two flavors you probably never expected
to see come together, but they're wonderfully intriguing,
and plenty popular in China.
- Oh, okay, well.
- I should not have mouthwashed before.
- Nope, never mouthwash.
- All right, Link, you had 48.
Rhett, 11.
- He was closer.
- Yeah, a little bit closer.
It's Thailand, so you're really close to China.
(funky music)
I can tell what these are just by smelling them.
- Brownish?
Oh, what is that?
You have to go first.
- That's either Marmite or Vegemite.
And that determines which country it's from.
Is it from Australia or the United Kingdom?
Those are the only two options that make sense.
- The Vegemite is from down under.
It's pretty mild.
- I mean, is there like an obvious flavor difference
between those two things?
For someone who...
If someone from Australia eats Vegemite and Marmite,
are they like, oh, there's a big difference here?
- [Josh] I can determine the taste
pretty solidly between the two.
I think they're very different.
- Very different. - Mm-hm.
- [Link] It kind of makes it taste like
you're eating a burnt potato chip.
- I feel like it has a slightly earthier flavor
than the, last time I had Marmite or Vegemite I had,
I think it was Marmite, because it was,
when we did that thing with Bear Grylls,
and it was super high.
And this feels a little earthier, so I'm going Australia.
- Great, because I am going for the UK, getting UKed up.
Because this is Marmite.
See, but like, Vegemite is so much more marketable.
- What makes you say that?
- It's a funner word.
- Well, I mean, you'll even the game
back out if you're right.
- Yeah, I'm gonna stick to my guns here.
Oh yeah, Morocco.
United Kingdom, let me have it.
- [Stevie] You just had Marmite Lay's.
Even though you had the real thing on the show before,
the peculiar yeasty flavor still takes some getting used to.
The place where they are used to that dark spread's flavor
is the United Kingdom. - United Kingdom.
Boy that really got...
- Now, if I hadn't of said,
now I just wanna know, just for kicks.
If I hadn't of said anything.
- Walkers, Texas Ranger.
- If I hadda said nothing about this,
if I had not said what I thought they were,
where would you've gone with it?
Would you've said they tasted like birthday cake or?
- Uh, I probably would've said Marmite, United Kingdom.
(Rhett laughing)
- Okay, all right.
- All right, Rhett, 58.
Link, eight.
- Hmm, oh wow, you came all the way back.
Mm, mm, mm.
(funky music)
Now real quick, in addition to every episode
being 13.333% better, there's also other channels
under the Mythical umbrella that you can enjoy.
Y'all know about the "Mythical Kitchen."
Go check out the "Mythical Kitchen."
They're making content all summer as well.
- Oh, and also, we have another channel
called Mythical Bits.
Have you heard about this?
Original sketches, put one up every week.
Totally different YouTube channel.
So subscribe to the Mythical Bits channel,
so you can actually see them.
All right, this is a chip.
The bottom's wet.
Kind of barbecuey.
It's good, I like it.
- Well, you know what?
You gotta go first 'cause you're back in the lead.
- I'm really not getting anything, there's like...
- Is that a cinnamon?
- A deep spicy, don't.
Yeah, you can try, but that's not gonna work.
The mouthwash is worn off.
There's no cinnamon in that.
Morocco is still in play.
Morocco's calling my name,
and not just because of the Instagram pics.
I'm not giving up on you 'til you come through for me.
I'm getting a little closer to it.
- It is a little spicy.
It's like a spicy that is unfamiliar to me.
I feel like it could be Thailand, or Australia, or Brazil.
I might need to triangulate those,
which means I gotta go to Saudi Arabia.
- Okay, Cyprus. - Or, Cyprus.
- [Stevie] See, I would think you guys would be
extra familiar with these 11 herbs and spices
because these are KFC Lay's. - Is it?
- [Stevie] This special flavor highlights the taste
we all know and love from the US-born KFC brand.
They just debuted in 2020.
And they are sold exclusively at 7-Elevens in Thailand.
- Thailand!
- Okay. - Really, Thailand.
- That does not taste like KFC.
- If you really try,
and you look at the packaging while you eat it,
I think it works.
- [Josh] Think about the gravy.
- Yes! - Oh, you know what?
You're right, you gotta think about the gravy.
- But that's not, there's no gravy on here.
- No, but he's right, the gravy profile.
- [Josh] Yup.
- Link, you at 40.
Rhett, 24.
- Ooh wow, this is a tight game.
(funky music)
- Three centimeters separate the leaders,
and only two players.
- Oh, that's a good smell.
- Smells like a barbecue chip to me.
- Why?
- Because the chips get caught in my teeth
and then I'm trying to get it out in between rounds.
I'm tasting previous chips and mouthwash.
- [Rhett] These are so good!
- [Link] They're tangy, woo!
- [Rhett] Okay.
- You're going first now, right?
- I am.
I taste a little bit of carrot in there.
And you may think I'm crazy.
I think some spice. - I do,
but not because of that.
- And some carrot, which sends me to Brazil.
It tastes like that Brazilian sauce that we had on the show.
But because I'm not confident in that,
I feel like I gotta go like Atlantic Ocean sort of guess,
you know, just to, just in case.
So like kinda close to Brazil, but.
Well, or almost to Brazil.
- I mean, you might as well just would've hit Brazil,
but you didn't.
You remember some sauce.
I can't argue with that.
I'm going for Brazil.
Squarely, unabashedly.
No hedging of throes.
Yes!
Hit it, did it, who's closer to Brazil?
- [Stevie] I don't think it matters.
- Oh! (both laughing)
- [Stevie] You just had prawn cocktail Lay's.
While this flavor does exist in another country,
the pairing of fragrant seafood and the taste of sweet,
vinegary cocktail sauce is especially vibrant
in the version made in Cyprus.
- Cyprus?
Well I tasted and Brazilian hot sauce.
- You are touching the border of Brazil, just so you know.
- Bummer. - Thank you.
- There was 30 for Rhett, 28 for Link.
- Did I create some Brazilian erosion?
- A little bit.
- Wow, this is so close.
This is great!
This is great entertainment.
(funky music)
- [Stevie] Okay guys, this mystery round's going to be
a little bit different this time.
- I see that.
- [Stevie] You've been given three flavors
that all come from the same country,
and you have to guess which one that is.
And as a reminder, the country is not listed on the board.
- We could not be in a more competitive position
without being tied. - Um hm.
- I mean, to have 124 centimeters on the board,
and to be almost tied, is just unheard of.
- This tastes like paprika. - Yeah, tell me.
- This tastes like... - Oh, ooh.
It tastes like Vienna sausages.
Like it tastes like a salt and vinegar Vienna sausage.
Come on! - This tastes like mustard.
I don't know what that one tastes like.
- [Link] Mustard and Vienna sausages.
It's a sweet mustard.
- I shouldn't delay though, because I have a cheat dart.
The lay dart, what do you call it?
What did we call it?
- Salayed. - Potato salayed.
- Salayed.
I got potato salayed in a slingshot.
- So what's your answer?
- My answer is there's a lot of countries
in the middle of the board.
- Good gosh.
I think, it did hit the board, didn't it?
Chase?
- Well, it hit my thigh.
- I mean, it's all over me.
- There's little pieces. - There's stuff to measure.
- Chase, help me out here.
Where, tell me where the spray is,
because I need to go for the win here.
- Spray up here. - Yeah, yeah.
- Here, here.
- But before you throw it--
- Do I get to open the present?
- You've been a good boy.
You've been a good boy this whole time.
So I do think you should open this present.
- There's a camera in it, I'm sure.
My mom is watching over us.
This is your mom?
- Hey mom.
- [Mom] That's right, it's me, Rhett's mama.
- She can talk through it?
- Yeah, yeah, we gave her an audio feed this time.
- Hey, hey Mama Di.
How are you today?
- Look at my big boy, all grown up, except for his chin.
(all laughing)
- You're not hearing me, are you?
I like what you gotta say,
but it doesn't seem like you're really in a conversation.
- You know why, I think she's got some prepared things
that she wanted to say.
- What about me, Mama Di?
I'm here.
- [Mama] I'll see you later, honey.
- She doesn't wanna talk to you, man.
- It's just Twinkie fingers back there pushing buttons.
- Yeah, I know.
Why are you gonna insult my mom like that?
- You're like sampling your mom.
- My mom went through the trouble
of being on the audio feed.
She can't see the map, of course.
- I don't have a guess.
So I'm going to go where you haven't,
to the Eastern quadrant.
Just to have a chance of winning.
Yes.
A little farther than I wanted, but okay.
And I know China's already been taken.
- [Stevie] Okay, so your guesses were,
you said one was paprika. - Yeah, first one.
- [Stevie] And did you establish what the other ones?
- Vienna sausages, juice, Vienna sausage juice.
- Juice? - And sweet mustard.
- [Stevie] Okay, you're close on the mustard,
except for it's ketchup.
And the other one is pickle.
So while Canada is well-known for its ketchup chips,
and you can get dill pickle Lay's right here in the USA,
the only place where you will find all three is Belgium.
- Oh.
- Belgium!
- Well, I think I've got some salayed in Belgium probably,
or right around there.
- By the skin of your teeth, you've won probably.
- Yeah, Link, you had 23.
And Rhett, you had one.
- One!
I got that close to Belgium?
Well, I'm sorry, Link.
But you know what?
I'm sure my mom-- - You're not sorry.
- I'm sure my mom has some encouraging words for you.
- Oh, is she back? - Yeah.
- [Mom] I hope that rash on your private area went away.
- Yeah, she's talking to you. (laughing)
- Private area.
- I get layed.
So the battle continues, the back and forth continues, man.
The streak continues.
Neither one of us can break this streak.
- And that's kind of a let down,
not what I was hoping to see, you know what I'm saying?
- You wanted to watch me get layed?
- Hey.
- I feel like this is probably a win for you.
(both laughing)
- Hey man, I'm up for anything these days.
Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell.
- You know what time it is.
- Hi, I'm Jensen.
- And I'm Jensen's daddy.
And we're in Plymouth, United Kingdom.
- [Both] It's time to spin the wheel of mythicality.
- I thought he fell at the end, but he was just spinning.
- Just spinning, yes.
- Get it, get it?
- Click the top link to see if we can figure out
Lay's flavors just by smelling them
in "Good Mythical More." - And to find out where
the wheel of mythicality's gonna land.
- [Woman] Ketchup is a smoothie.
- [Man] Yeah, I put ice in my cereal, so what?
- [Woman] That makes no sense.
- [Man] A hotdog is a sandwich.
- [Woman] A hotdog is a sandwich.
(both laughing)
- [Man] What?
