Can we pick the extreme snacks with one throw of the axe?
Let's talk about that.
"Good Mythical Morning."
And Happy Memorial Day.
Today we recognize those who have given their lives
for our country.
I'd also like to recognize the fact
that I have a tenuous relationship
with handling sharp objects.
I got a knife over here.
Oh!
Oh gosh.
And then in this part right here.
I've got whoa, watch yourself.
All right, so I'm gonna.
Oh, that's the tip of my thumb.
I'm okay.
Uh, why don't you take over?
By throwing a dart at.
Whoa!
Oh my goodness!
Why did you do that?
I'm sorry.
What in the.
Rhett.
Oh!
My gosh.
Oh, oh, oh!
Broke a pane of glass on my face.
Yeah.
So I don't have a good track record.
That's why we typically don't.
Tenuous relationship.
We don't let him touch sharp things.
But today I'm going to redeem myself
through axe throwing.
Are we, we're seriously doing this?
This is gonna happen.
Yeah, it's got my name on it.
It's got a sharp end.
Yeah.
Okay.
And it's got a dull end.
For some stupid reason.
You know what?
For your entertainment,
we have created a game
that involves me and Link throwing axes.
Please don't gesture with your axe.
I'm not, I'm not gesturing.
I'm just holding it.
Well, you know what?
How about you wait until you,
I'm a safe distance.
Social distancing is important when you have an axe.
This feels like I'm about to lose the.
I'm about to be on the losing end
of some sort of exposure therapy.
Well, we're not only going to be throwing axes.
We're going to be tasting extreme snacks
as we play.
So sharpen those blades.
It's time for extreme sn-axe.
Extreme edition.
Welcome to axe alley.
All right, in each round we're going
to try two snacks.
One touted as extreme or extra wild.
Whoa!
The other is just a plain old normal snack.
We're going to compete to see who's better
at picking out that extreme snack.
How are we going pick you axe?
Axe.
How many axe puns are we're going to be doing?
We're going to be throwing our axes at the board.
Yes, okay.
Yeah, there's two bullseyes.
What's gonna happen?
For two different snacks.
If we land on the correct colored target,
we get the amount of points we landed on.
But if you land on the incorrect color,
you lose that many points.
Also, there's a neutral zone in the middle,
that yellow one point.
If you're not sure and you just want to get one point,
you can throw it there.
If you miss the targets altogether
and you get on the outside,
you get a negative one but you get to throw again.
And if you really want to go for it,
if you're really far behind,
there's a 10-point bullseye in each corner.
Whoever wins gets to carve their initials
into the golden log in "Good Mythical More."
There's a golden log?
Yeah, and then keep that log until the next time we play
'cause we hope to keep playing this.
That was my nickname in high school.
Let's chop it.
What are our snacks?
Ooh.
Oh okay, all right.
We got some sort of.
This is like a Twizzler-ish.
Chopped Twizzler situation.
Mm, trying to detect any extremities.
Anything wild about that?
Anything wild about it.
But I'm not gonna say.
Then we got some sort of a red jelly bean.
Anything extreme about that?
That is a sour jelly bean.
Hm.
Would you call it extreme?
I will call it one
of the best jelly beans I've ever eaten.
It's extremely good.
That's a good jelly bean.
I don't even like a jelly bean.
All right, so to decide who's gonna throw the axe first,
let's do a little rock, paper, scissors.
Okay.
Rock, paper, scissors, shoot.
Oh, okay.
Mm hm hm.
So you get to go second because you get the advantage.
Yep, so you go first.
Now we got this cage built for any reverberations
of a misthrow.
Anything can happen.
But Chase, get in the cage.
That's how this works, right?
Chase stands.
I'm sorry, Chase, man.
Don't bring it up.
Just drop it.
Okay, I only taste sourness in the jelly beans.
I taste something a little off about those Twizzlers.
This is not an off game.
This is the axe-treme game.
So I'm going red and I'm confident, man.
You're going for this bullseye?
This bullseye.
Why don't you go for 10?
I'm not confident enough
I'm actually gonna hit the bullseye.
I feel like I'll hit somewhere close and then,
you know, get four or two.
Here we go.
Oh, it's stuck on four.
How did that feel?
I feel like a man!
I'm goin' out there.
Nobody throw any axes at me for retribution.
Look at this.
Okay, now what you've done by going first is actually,
you've kind of blocked my ability
to get to the red bullseye,
which I agree is more extremely sour.
I gotta go for red and I'm going for the gusto.
I'm going for six red.
How do I?
Hm, this is not the time for that question.
Here we go!
Don't feel safe.
Clear!
Oh!
Look at that!
We tied, man.
There we go.
We're both in four.
I went a little high with it.
The rule is whatever you are majority in,
and your axe blade is mostly enforced.
So you get four as well.
Stevie, were we right?
When your workout needs a little more kick,
one of these snacks is fortified with a caffeine boost.
The other snack is just candy.
You just tried Twizzlers Bites
and Jelly Belly Extreme Sport Beans!
Yes!
Yeah, okay, all right.
So it wasn't extreme because it was sour.
Lumber Chase, thank you.
It's just the caffeine.
Yeah, can you feel it?
I can feel it immediately.
We're tied.
What's next?
Oh, man.
It's some sour stuff.
We've got sour bears versus sour worms!
Is that just a Sour Patch Kid?
It could be an extreme Sour Patch Kid.
I mean, it's pretty sour.
It's good.
Why the, does that one?
This got caffeine in it?
Does it taste caffeinated?
Can you taste caffeine?
Write that down.
Hm, I'm mating a worm and a bear in my mouth right now.
What you gonna make?
A berm?
Civil engineering joke.
Yeah, like a, just a pile of dirt?
Yeah, a berm.
It's like a dam.
Since we just, since we last time,
then this time I'll, okay?
Hey, that berm joke was pretty good, right?
Oh, man.
I'm so hopped up on caffeine.
Give me an axe!
That berm joke would've gone over great at Black & Veatch.
My first job was at Black & Veatch.
Those bears are a lot more sour.
The Sour Patch Kids were already sour.
Gummy worms aren't.
Oh, they're not?
What planet are you on, man?
I don't like, I know you like gummies so I'm listening.
Gummy worms are just gummy bears shaped like worms.
And they're not sour.
These are a sour version of them
but I don't know if it's extreme.
I think he's right.
And so is he playing me
or is he double playing me?
Berm, get it?
'Cause there's like a worm and a bear together.
All right, so I think that Rhett is right.
What does that mean?
It means that I'm going for the red six
but you could be playing me
because that blue is definitely a lot more extreme tasting.
Should I just go for one?
That yellow in the middle?
Can you do that shape again?
You know what?
Screw it, I'm going for it.
Six pink.
Pink?
Oh!
Bullseye!
Were you playing me?
That was pretty awesome, man.
No, well, well, hold on.
I'm not giving you five until I know.
Berm!
What your answer is.
I'm not leaving you hanging for long
but I am leaving you hanging.
That's very impressive.
Right there in the middle, man.
Top that.
Here's what I got to say.
These bears are really sour.
Maybe more sour than normal Sour Patch Kids.
Gummy worms are never even sour.
They're never sour at all.
So make a gummy worm sour at all,
is that extreme?
Is that an extreme thing to do?
I think it might be.
I'm going to go for the blue.
But I'm not, I'm not confident.
So you were playing me.
I wasn't playing you.
I just said some things and you took it a certain way.
I don't feel confident about it, though.
I'm going for blue four 'cause I don't want
to go so far in the hole if I'm wrong.
Oh, nice!
You did it.
Let's applaud for yourself
and now I will give you the,
no I won't because you didn't.
I didn't play you, man.
All right, I'll give you the five.
Okay.
Stevie?
Between these two sour candies,
one of them claims to be extremely bleepin' sour.
You just had regular Trolli Sour Brite Crawlers
and Sour Patch Kids Extreme Sour!
Extreme!
Extreme.
Boo!
Boo you, man.
Boo you.
There's a curse word on there
But you don't even know what it is.
You got a five.
What word would you say?
Five!
Five letters sour.
That's sour.
It's quite a swing.
I just got negative six.
It's not what I thought it was.
Let's find out what we're going to taste here.
Green beans.
Green beans?
Versus peanuts.
Well, green beans.
They can't be extreme green beans.
Oh, it does sound good though,
when I say it.
Ex-string beans.
Extreme beans.
String beans.
Ex-string beans.
Mm.
Woo!
That's good.
I love a pickled vegetable.
Piggled.
Did you say piggled?
Like pickled okra?
You had that before?
Oh yeah, so good.
I love pickled vegetables.
What's on these?
Whoa!
What's wrong with those nuts?
Is it sour?
I actually can't tell what these peanuts are.
I think it's salt and vinegar.
It's strong.
This is a tough one.
I'm in the lead, so I got first now?
That's right.
I'm a hide behind these logs
in case you ricochet in my ankles.
Not feeling great about a guess either way.
This is tough.
They're both pungent.
Should I just take advantage
of the neutral zone and just go for a one?
How is it, how is it shaped?
I don't feel confident so I'm going for the one.
Whoa, right at the one.
Wow.
Did I hear a wow over there?
I believe it was Nicole.
Nicole said wow.
Who just said wow.
I am not interested in any wows for anyone else.
Can you just follow me around, Nicole.
Wow.
All right.
I think because of the way that it rolls off the tongue
to say ex-string beans.
Ex-string beans.
Yeah, I think that is what those are
and I am down by 10 points.
So I've really got to make an assessment here.
Well, what is it?
I'm assessing that it's the red six.
I hit it last time.
I gotta hit it again.
Oh!
I can hit somethin'!
We're bringing the axe heat, man.
We're really bringing the heat today.
We're good, we're good with this, yes.
Stevie, make my day.
One of these snacks claims
to have raised the addiction level to new heights.
You just had regular Dee's Nuts Dill Pickled Peanuts
and Matt & Steve's Garlic & Dill Flavored Extreme Beans!
You did it, man!
And does it say ex-string bean on it?
No, they didn't do that.
Oh, missed opportunity.
Big missed opportunity.
They taste really good, though.
I got to admit.
Admit it.
I admit it.
What's next?
We have Goldfish.
Oh, man.
And popcorns.
Extreme cheddar.
We used to get these for the chillds.
Oh, did you just give me the answer?
But these might be regular Goldfish.
For the what?
We used to get these for the what?
The chillds.
Oh no.
The chillds?
That's what cool dads call their kids.
I'll tell you,
you put a little cheese dust on some popcorn
and I cannot stop.
I cannot stop.
I'm sorry, Link.
Were you just making a comment offhand
about how you like cheese popcorn
or do you think that is cheese popcorn?
Both.
Is this not cheese to you?
No.
Okay.
This is cheese.
This is cheese popcorn.
Yeah, cheese popcorn, great.
What?
I think that popcorn tastes extremely buttery.
I might even go as far as to say extreme butter!
Oh.
Those are regular Goldfish, I believe,
and that's extremely buttery popcorn.
Oh! Bullseye!
Oh, man.
Confident, I'm so confident in that.
Mm, all right.
Stevie, I knew that was buttered popcorn
but I was just talking about cheese popcorn.
That's what was happening.
Is that why you said this is cheese
and took a bite.
This is cheese and took a bite.
It was a long time ago.
I can't quite remember.
Okay.
My aim has been really good.
If I get six here and we tie,
then I'm still down by five
and it pushes it to the last round.
I've gotta play defense this round
because I think that you're right.
You're basically trying to get a bullseye as well.
Yes.
Here we go.
Oh.
Okay, all right, okay.
I let go a little soon.
I kinda feel like you should get a new kind
of point for that.
It just teetered up there.
I like sat it on the mantle piece.
I'm not gonna touch another man's axe,
but that's.
Look at that.
That's negative one but you get to go again.
It's really in there too.
I mean, any more.
Any more and it would've missed.
So I just lost a point.
Yeah, one point.
Crap.
It doesn't change anything I have
to do except bring the axe down.
Oh!
Oh yes!
Look at that, y'all?
That's two bullseyes!
Look at that.
You could pull them at once.
Stevie, what's the dealio?
This is cheese, right?
One of these snacks promises high impact flavor
for those who like to snack on the edge,
and you just tried regular Goldfish Cheddar Crackers
and ACT II Xtreme Butter Popcorn!
The butter is so extreme,
you think it's cheese!
There you go.
Look at that.
Does it say that on the, anywhere on the label?
About the cheese part?
I mean, it's orange.
It's freakin' orange.
Yeah, basically it's cheese.
Screw you, Act II.
He's right.
It's basically cheese.
With a six-point differential.
I am still in this and we seem to have.
Is that dog food?
This looks like dog food.
That looks like.
That looks like a rabbit food.
What is this?
It's all over the place.
There's like green things.
Man, I was excited about eating this too
'cause I've been having such a good time eating this food.
Why would you market any pet food as extreme?
'Cause dogs are picky these days.
You seen TikTok?
Tastes like there's candy in there.
That is for like a small mammal.
Like a squirrel, pet squirrel?
Ugh, I need, I need a.
I need to spit that out.
What is this?
Is that a tomato?
Yeah, it's a little dried.
Tasteless nothing.
It's extremely bad.
This is definitely dog food 'cause I kinda like it.
That right there is nasty.
This has got little jellies in it.
All right.
Okay.
The blue stuff,
that's extreme in every way.
It looks extreme.
It tastes extreme.
It's got all these extreme different shapes.
That's just seemingly regular dog food.
But in my mind, in my marketing mind,
I think to myself, who's art,
who's going to market extreme things to like rabbits?
You know what I'm saying?
Rabbits don't care about extreme, but dogs.
Dogs got TikTok channels.
You know what I'm saying?
And so this may be a bad move
but I feel like that's extreme even though this,
everything about this says extreme,
I just don't feel like you would.
But I'm not confident in it.
Just go for the middle.
Just go for the one pointer.
You're already up by six.
I would have to hit a bullseye in order to beat you still.
Well, if I get one, then I go up by seven.
That means I force you into a 10.
That's what I'm going to do, friend.
Thanks for helping me figure that out.
Oh, there he is.
I mean, dang, that was right down the middle.
Right in the middle.
It's totally up to me.
My fate is in my hands.
Yeah, you can still win, my friend.
But you have to go for the 10.
You know this stuff right here?
This boring stuff that you said
I don't know if you were screwing with me,
but I, and I changed your mind,
but I really do think that was your answer.
I think this is a misdirect because it looks too extreme.
This is the answer.
This is extreme, this is extreme, yeah.
Red is the answer.
Yeah, I agree with you.
I had to do what I did, though.
I had to put you in this position,
to pull off one of the greatest comebacks
in the history of this entire show.
Right there.
Okay, here we go.
For the red 10.
Oh!
Hold on, hold on.
That's negative one.
Negative one but you get to go again.
Yes.
You get to go again.
You can still win.
The rules of this game don't make a lot of sense,
but you know what?
I like it.
It's exciting.
Negative one gives you a second chance
and I can still win.
Oh!
It's low.
Stevie, what's the deal?
What was more extreme here?
One of these pet foods is a food
and a treat all in one,
and if that ain't extreme,
I don't know what it is.
You just had regular Rachel Ray Nutrish Dish Dog Food
and F.M. Brown's Extreme Gourmet Pet Rabbit Food!
Oh, there is extreme rabbit food?
This is for the rabbits?
Dang, man.
Even if you had to hit it,
you would have lost.
Oh gosh.
All of that for nothing.
But it was pretty exciting.
Congratulations, Rhett.
Oh, the golden log.
Chase the lumberjack's gonna give you the log,
at least for this round.
I'd like to be the lumber snack, actually.
Oh, there we go.
Wish granted.
Already done.
