- Today, we grill what no man has grilled before.
- Let's talk about that.
(electronic music)
Good Mythical Morning!
- Today, we're gonna be grilling some weird stuff,
and this episode is sponsored by CarGurus.
CarGurus' mission is to create
a better car shopping experience
using technology and data analytics.
- Car shopping can be intimidating.
It's easy to worry about not getting the best deal
or feeling like you're being taken advantage of,
but CarGurus is the only site with a deal rating system
that flat out tells you if a car is overpriced
so you don't overpay.
They also factor more than just price into deal ratings,
like number of owners, mileage, and vehicle history.
- Because, y'all, some places don't do that
and you have no idea where your car has been
or what it's been up to.
I want to know everything about my car.
I want to know what its
kindergarten teacher's first name was,
I want to know what my car's first kiss was like,
I want to know what my car had for breakfast this morning,
'cause if my car is brunching without me,
that is a problem.
- All right.
With up to 50% more dealers than other leading sites,
you know you're seeing more inventory in one place.
- [Link] And you can search car listings for free.
Go to cargurus.com to find a great deal on your next car.
- Thanks again to CarGurus for sponsoring this episode.
- Speaking of cars, cars have grills,
and we both like grilling.
- Both meats and each other.
It's time for We Can't Help That Our New Favorite Hobby
Is Guessing Weird Things That We've Thrown On The Barbie.
- Welcome to the grill daddy-o patio.
- All right, we're gonna take turns
"grilling" a random mystery item,
and don't worry, the grill is not on.
That's a fire code violation. (yells)
Also Link is afraid of propane so we wouldn't do it anyway.
The other person has to guess what item it is
using yes-or-no questions.
- Yeah, and if you get stumped
over the course of your yes-or-no questions,
you can ask me to perform one of four lifelines,
and vice-versa when I'm playing.
The first one is flip it, where you ask the grill master
to flip whatever it is that is being grilled.
The second one is punt it.
Ask the grill master to give it a nice kick
that you will listen to with your eyes closed.
You could choose lick it,
which is ask the grill master to lick the item
and then describe the taste.
And finally, grunt it, where the grill master
grunts a compliment at the item as a hint.
Flip it, punt it, lick it, grunt it.
- And the winner gets to hit the loser
with some sick burns in Good Mythical More.
Let's get to grilling!
(guitar music)
- Okay, Rhett, what am I grilling?
- [Rhett] I don't smell anything.
(sniffing)
- I'm fake grilling, brother.
Come on, now.
Yes-or-no questions.
- Is it edible?
- [Link] No.
- [Rhett] Is it a toy?
- No. - [Rhett] Is it a tool?
- Not in the classic sense.
- [Rhett] Is it clothing?
- [Link] I would say yes.
- [Rhett] Do you put it on your head?
(laughs)
- That's a good question!
(crew laughing)
Yes, you do.
(laughs) - Hey!
(clapping) Rhett's just getting warm!
- [Both] Rhett's just getting warm!
- I'm getting even warmer on this fake grill over here!
- Is it something you would put on your head as a joke?
(laughs)
- I think you would, yes.
But some people wouldn't.
- [Rhett] Is it part of a costume?
- [Link] No.
- Are you telling me that this thing
is something that
is traditionally not put on your head?
- No.
- Is it a particular kind of hat?
- [Link] Yes.
- [Rhett] I have to figure out what kind of hat it is.
- If you're stumped, you can ask for a lifeline.
- Flip it?
- Okay.
I'm gonna need you to close your eyes in case my flip
sends it off of the--
- Okay, all right.
- Okay.
(spatula scraping grill)
(hat clanging)
(crew laughing)
Hold on, don't open your eyes
'cause I'm gonna have to flip it again.
(hat clanging)
Okay.
(crew laughing)
- Can I open my eyes?
- Yeah, open your eyes.
- Well, it seemed like you didn't have
a whole lot of trouble flipping,
like it wasn't super heavy.
- [Link] No, it wasn't.
- [Rhett] Is it made of plastic?
- Yeah.
(laughs)
And other things.
- Is it a mask of sorts?
- [Link] No.
- [Rhett] Does it go on top of your head?
- [Link] Yes, that's very important.
- When you put this on top of your head,
do you like, "Oh, I know what that guy's doing?"
(crew laughing)
Is it that kind of thing
that gives you that kind of information?
- No, no.
- It goes on top of your head
to help you accomplish something?
- Or not, or prevent something.
- To protect you from something?
- In the loosest sense of the term "protect," yes.
- To keep you from having to do something?
- No.
I would say, "keep you from having to experience something."
- Is it to keep you from experiencing weather?
- Yes.
(laughs)
That's not funny!
- Is it to keep you from experiencing rain?
- Yes!
- [Rhett] Is it one of those
hats that's an umbrella for your head?
- Well, it looks like she's done!
(bell ringing) - Hey!
- We get to cut it open and enjoy it together.
- Look at that!
Whoa!
- Try it on, Rhett.
Oh, didn't mean to put that on the ground.
(spatula clattering)
Look at that, look at you.
Preventing yourself from experiencing rain and sun.
- Why don't more people do this?
I'd, like, go to a game
if people still went to games.
(crew laughing) - I think I can answer
your question better if I had a mirror.
- Oh, it doesn't look great.
(guitar music)
(laughs)
Hey!
Having so much fun here!
- [Link] Yeah, thanks for having me over
at your patio.
- Got a question for you.
- [Link] Real hungry.
- What am I grilling?
- Man, if I only knew.
Boy, I'm hungry. - [Rhett] Yeah.
- [Link] Does it have eyes?
He's looking close.
I thought I would go for the gusto
right with my first question.
And you don't even know the answer?
- Technically, no.
Is it man-made?
- [Rhett] No. - Is it alive?
- [Rhett] No.
- [Link] Was it ever alive? - Yes.
- So it's dead.
(crew laughing)
I mean, if it's not alive and it never was alive...
- Let's just go with this.
It was once alive and now it's dead.
- [Link] Is it plant based?
(laughs)
- No.
- Animal based?
- It is animal based, yes.
- So it's like an excretion from an animal?
(laughs)
- There we go!
- [Link] Is it liquid?
- [Rhett] Not wholly.
- [Link] And the rest, I guess, is solid.
(crew laughing)
- Yeah, it's part liquid, part solid.
- Did it come out of an animal?
- Definitely, yes.
- Is it like a fart from a pigeon,
or is it like a breast from a pigeon?
- It's more like a fart
from a pigeon.
(all laughing)
But I will say, I know that people got this
from the thing that it comes from,
and I don't know of they waited around for it to come out
or if they just went in and got it.
- [Stevie] They went in and got it.
- They went in and got it.
Would you like a hint?
- Yeah, can you grunt about it?
(grunts)
- You're so fancy and you have so much potential.
(grunts)
- Is it eaten by humans? - [Rhett] Yes.
- [Link] Is it associated with a certain cuisine?
Like Italian, as an example.
- Yes, and no, not Italian.
- Does it come from a mammal?
- No.
- Does it come from a reptile?
- No.
- Does it come from a bird?
- No.
- Does it come from a...
Well, that's a fish.
- Yeah, there you go!
You figured out the other kind of animal!
(all laughing)
There was also insect, you didn't get there, but yes.
It is from a fish.
- Is it the reproductive part of a fish?
Reproductive items in a fish?
- It is a reproductive item, yes.
- Is it the female reproductive items of a fish?
- Yes.
- Is it fish eggs?
- [Rhett] More specific, think numbers.
- Is it one fish egg?
(laughs)
- Looky there, Link,
(bell ringing) there you go!
- Oh, it is one!
- [Rhett] It is one fish egg!
Enjoy it! - One fish egg.
Oh, I'm enjoying it.
Boy, this is great. - [Rhett] Get a little taste!
- And in this environment-- - Get a little taste!
- Why do you want me to taste it?
- 'Cause it's fancy, it has so much potential.
I spent all this time grilling that,
you're gonna not taste it?
Fancy. (yells in disgust)
(guitar music)
- What am I grilling?
Grilling it up, y'all.
- [Rhett] Wouldn't I like to know.
Is it...
- Wha-bam! - [Rhett] Edible?
- No.
- Is it human-made? - [Link] Yes.
- [Rhett] Is it clothing?
- [Link] No.
- Is it a household item?
- No.
- Is it for leisure?
- No.
- Does it help you do something?
- Yeah, but I wouldn't worry about that.
(crew laughing)
- [Rhett] Is it metal?
- [Link] Yes.
- [Rhett] Is it an instrument of some kind?
- Yes, it is.
(laughs)
- A musical instrument?
- It is. (laughs)
(claps and whoops) - Now, now, now, now,
I mean, you don't have to use a lifeline,
but you have one to use.
- I want you to punt it
'cause I like the idea of you kicking this thing.
- Close your eyes.
Keep your eyes closed.
(cowbell ringing) (screams in pain)
It hit the part of my ankle that wasn't covered by a shoe.
(crew laughing)
(cowbell clanging on grill)
Okay, open your eyes.
It's back on the grill, it wasn't done yet.
- Is it a percussion instrument?
(laughs)
- Yeah.
- Was it made famous during a certain television sketch
featuring Will Ferrell?
(cowbell ringing) (laughs)
- Do you have a guess?
- Is it a cowbell?
(cowbell ringing) (bell ringing)
- That was quick, man.
- That was good, wasn't it? - How did you--
- I have no idea. - How did you get to...
(cowbell rattling)
- Sometimes you're just feeling it.
(guitar music)
(whoops) Welcome back to my yard!
- You grilling something else?
- Yeah, whoa.
You wouldn't believe it.
- [Link] Is it man-made?
- [Rhett] Yeah.
- [Link] Is it decoration? - [Rhett] Yeah.
- Oh.
Does it serve no purpose besides decoration?
- Definitely.
- [Link] Is it silly?
(laughs)
- Again, this is all just,
it's in the eye of the beholder.
- Do I have one at my house?
- You do not have one.
(crew laughing)
- Would you expect it to be in someone's house on a shelf?
- Definitely shelf material.
- Does it represent something living?
- Yes. - [Link] Okay.
Does it represent a human? - [Rhett] No.
- [Link] An animal? - Yes.
- [Link] Is this decorative representation of an animal
to scale?
- [Rhett] No.
- Is the real life animal bigger than a beaver?
(crew laughs)
- Well, it depends on how big the beaver is.
- Like, an average sized beaver.
- When was the last time you saw a beaver?
- This is the body of the beaver.
- Without the tail? - [Link] Without the tail.
- That's a small beaver.
- Okay, is it the actual animal bigger than this?
- Beavers are a lot bigger than you think they are.
- You say a beaver's body is this big?
- Easily can be that big.
- You're thinking about a capybara.
- No I'm not thinking about-- (laughs)
I'm thinking about a beaver.
I mean, beavers attack people.
There's been people attacked by--
- [Link] Is the actual animal bigger than a giant tortoise?
- No, it's smaller than a giant tortoise.
- Okay, but bigger than an average beaver.
- [Rhett] No, I'd say smaller than a beaver,
but the same size as the beavers from your world.
(all laughing)
- [Stevie] Beavers are between 2.4 and three feet long,
and they can weigh between 24 and 71 pounds.
- 71 pound beavers is what I've been seeing.
- Three feet is a maximum.
- 70 pound beaver?
That weighs more than your youngest son!
- Is it a mammal?
- [Rhett] Oh yeah.
(laughs)
- [Link] Okay, so it's hairy and it
gives birth to live animals.
- No.
- Oh, so it's one of those weird mammals?
It's a marsupial?
- [Stevie] Can I personally request the lifeline
on your behalf 'cause I'd really like to see it.
- [Link] Oh, of course.
I would like for you to lick it and describe it.
(laughs)
- You said you wanted to see it!
I wanted to make it count.
- Describe it.
- Not very exciting.
Didn't do anything for me.
- Didn't seem like there was any pain.
- [Rhett] Relatively tasteless.
- [Link] Does the real animal, it has fur?
- No.
- [Link] It has skin?
- Yes.
- In the taxonomy of animals,
there's skin animals and fur animals.
(Stevie laughing) - Yeah, this is definitely a
skin animal.
- Is it on a farm?
- It is not considered a farm animal,
but if you were writing a song about a farm,
you might mention it because it's probably there, but--
- [Link] Is it a pet?
- [Rhett] Yes. - [Link] It's a pet animal.
Is it a type of cat?
- [Rhett] Yes.
- What?
Is it a hairless cat?
A skin cat?
(spatula clanging) Sculpture, sculpture.
Is it a skin cat sculpture?
- And I just licked it.
- A porcelain hairless cat.
(bell ringing)
I held one of these one time
and now I have nightmares about it.
- We both got all of them!
- [Link] Yeah, we did, so we get to--
- We're both winners!
