- Ah, wood and chainsaws, what more does anyone need?
- Let's talk about that.
(dynamic music)
Good mythical morning.
- Today is all about chainsaw carving.
But don't worry, we're not giving one to Link.
- Well, you do remember
the backup plan episode though, right?
(dramatic music)
(Rhett laughing)
See. - Yeah.
That was a mistake, man.
- I used a chainsaw. - That was a mistake.
- On ice.
- I don't know why we let you do that.
It's terrifying watching you do that.
And also, I don't know why they let us
lick that ice so much, if I remember it correctly.
There was a lot of licking.
- I don't think they were able to stop us.
All right, today I'm just happy watching chainsaw carving
because after all, it was one of my favorite parts
of the North Carolina State Fair lumberjack demonstration.
You know what I'm talking about.
- Out there in the pond.
- They would climb the logs,
and they would roll on the logs,
but they would carve the logs.
And I'm super sure that this is gonna make us
spill our competitive juices all over one another.
- Oh gosh, I hope not.
It's time for Mystery Countdown Theater:
Chainsaw Carving Edition.
All right, we're gonna be shown a time-lapse video
of a wooden thing of some kind being carved by a chainsaw.
And these videos are from some really incredible
and talented people on YouTube,
multiple people who shared them with us.
- Lumberjack creators?
- Yeah, I don't know that's the official name of the genre,
but you know what I'm talking about.
So once we think we know what the statue, or figure,
or thing that's being carved is,
we're gonna buzz in and guess. (clicks)
If we're right, we win however many points
are left on the timer.
- If we're wrong,
we're gonna get angry and contentious.
And then the other person
gets a chance to buzz in and guess.
And whoever has the most points at the end
gets to chain up the loser time-lapse style.
- Oh yeah. - Whatever that means.
- Now, obviously, my lucky bow tie
didn't quite give me the W last time,
even though I definitely think I should have won.
So I'm gonna try out a new lucky headband,
to see if it'll do me right.
- Your headband's also wrong, so I'm cool with that.
'Cause it doesn't matter how you feel about--
- It looks great.
- If you should've won,
I did win for having the correct answer.
And since being right helped me secure the win before,
I've got a correct headband.
- Oh, wow.
You must use the same designer.
- [Stevie] Guys, I really, really like these headbands.
- Yeah. - You do?
- [Stevie] I want one of my own.
Maybe it just says be.
- Yeah, I mean, you gotta pick,
you can't pick one of these.
- [Stevie] Okay, so the chainsaw genre videos today
includes videos from WoodArt Vietnam, Ryan Cook Carvin,
and Chainsaw Dave, so special shout out to all those guys.
Thank you for providing us with the videos.
Okay, the competition is hot today.
Are you guys ready for round one?
- Yes. - Yep.
- [Stevie] All right, let's see it.
- [Link] That's a big log.
- [Rhett] Oh my gosh, what in the world
is that gonna be? - I can't say at this point.
(buzzer dings) - Rhett.
- It's going to be an owl.
- [Stevie] You are correct.
- Ah, I was about to think it was an owl.
(Rhett and crew laughing)
I just hadn't thought that yet.
Okay, so it's an owl.
- [Rhett] Yeah I didn't know if this was like,
is the rest of the tree gonna go away from the owl?
- Look at the cute owl.
He kinda looks sad. - That's pretty impressive.
- This sad owl, he was sad that you guessed it.
- No, he's trapped in that tree.
- Let me out.
- I shouldn't have come in here and grown to an adult.
- [Stevie] All right, let's go again.
- That's fine, four points.
No biggie.
- [Rhett] Oh, this is a big log.
It's gonna be a truck or something.
(Link groaning)
(buzzer dings)
- [Stevie] Rhett.
- I believe it is an elephant.
- [Stevie] Incorrect.
- Ah! - Yep, okay.
(buzzer dings) - Link.
- I believe it is a triceratops.
- [Stevie] Sir, correct!
Dinosaur and all, yes!
- Oh dang, that's good, yeah. - Yeah!
Ooh, I got six points for that?
- [Rhett] I was going the wrong way.
- [Link] Oh wow, I'd love to ride that.
Look it, saddle him up.
- Dang, man. - That is cool, man.
- How long does that actually take?
'Cause it seemed like it took longer than 15 to 20 seconds.
- Yeah, this is a time-lapse.
- Oh!
I was about to be even more impressed.
- Okay, let's hit this.
Just getting rolling.
Uh well, who is that?
(buzzer dings) - Rhett.
- I'm gonna say Jesus?
(everyone laughing)
- Yeah, the safest answer in Bible school.
When in doubt, just say Jesus.
- [Stevie] That's such a good out of context audio clip.
Uh, no.
- All right.
(buzzer dings) - Link.
- Um, this is Obi-Wan Kenobi.
- Incorrect. - Oh!
You're back at it.
Is it anybody's game now? - Yeah.
- [Link] Okay.
(buzzer dings) - Link.
- I'm gonna say Gandalf the Gray.
- [Stevie] Correct, yup.
- Oh yeah.
I saw that staff.
Were you going there?
- [Rhett] Uh, no.
- [Link] Wow, okay.
- [Rhett] Oh, and the owl showed up again.
- [Link] That's a different owl.
The owl escaped. - The owl got out.
Now we can't be 100% certain that's not just old Jesus.
- I think we can, yeah.
Old pipe smoking wizard Jesus.
- Okay, well next time I'm gonna
have a headband that says old Jesus.
- Yeah, let's not do that because that hits
too close to home with your current look.
Hey, I know that the competition is just heating up,
but something really important is about to happen.
And we just need to stop everything to talk about it.
You probably know what I'm about to say.
National Puzzle Day is this coming Saturday.
- Oh, that's this Saturday, yeah.
- And in honor of that illustrious day,
we have developed something.
An official collaboration
with our favorite puzzle, Rubik's Cube.
We have an official Mythical Rubik's Cube.
Classic colors, our faces on this thing.
You can get it while supplies last at mythical.com.
- Well, look at that.
It's official, it's for real.
- This is, I mean, if you...
- Rubik's was involved.
- I kinda don't wanna turn it because...
- No don't screw it up or we'll never get it back.
- I mean, there is someone in my home who can fix this.
Lincoln knows how to solve these.
- He watched that YouTube video?
- But I don't wanna have to pay him by the hour.
So I'm just gonna leave it like that.
Mythical.com, get your Rubik's on.
Put that right down there.
That's purty, isn't it?
- It's very purty. - It's purty.
- All right, moving on.
I fell in a hole here.
Gotta carve my way out of it.
- [Link] (sighs) Okay.
(buzzer dings) - Rhett.
- Dragon.
- Oh, you're still in that world?
- Correct. - Oh!
- I was gonna say horse, but then I was like,
that's gotta be a dragon.
- [Link] I thought it was a hobby horse.
- [Rhett] It's got the dragon neck coming up.
- [Link] Wow, the scales coming in.
That guy was barefoot.
That guy was sitting there carving barefoot.
Did you see that?
- [Rhett] Look, and the, whoa!
And they're putting things on there.
- [Link] Blowing it down and shellacking it up.
- Man! - That is wonderful.
- I've always had this idea that when I get really old,
I'm gonna be just a guy in a wood shop.
But it looks like I'm gonna need help.
- When I'm really old, I just wanna own one of those
and put it in my billiards hall.
- Maybe I'll make wood cool wood things.
- And I'll buy 'em.
- And I'll take it to your billiards hall.
- Yeah.
I don't want things that pointy though.
- I'm not giving you a friendly discount.
- I don't want one.
- You're paying market price.
- Seems like it'd really poke you in the eye.
You gotta be careful.
Dang, you took the lead.
That was quite a risk.
- Holy moly. - That's a huge tree.
- [Rhett] It's gonna be a diving board.
- [Link] Oh gosh, what's happening, what's happening?
(buzzer dings) - Rhett.
- Alligator.
- No.
- [Stevie] All right, Devin is saying that is acceptable.
It is a crocodile. - Crocodile!
Ah, no!
- [Rhett] Thank you, Devin.
- [Link] Gol, dang it.
Yes, I see it now.
Shoot.
- Holy moly. - That is wonderful.
Isn't this just a wonderful world
where wood can become reptiles
- It's just amazing, the level of detail,
and it just feels like it could be screwed up so easily.
And could that float, and could you ride it?
- Uh, I would think it would float, don't you?
- Wood floats.
- But I don't think you would wanna ride it
because it's prickly.
I mean, that is life-size.
- You could put a saddle on it.
I wonder if you cut it open, if it would like--
- Where do you put that kind of thing?
- A dead Floridian inside of it.
- That billiards hall really,
is the only place I can think of.
You gotta take a pool table out though.
We used to have seven pool tables,
but now we've got this crocodile.
- Put a pool table on top of it.
And it's like, hey, check out underneath.
Check out underneath.
- [Stevie] Well, remember the Rascal Flatts coffee table
that featured a real crocodile underneath glass.
This is--
- I think of it every morning, Stevie.
- Yeah, a different version.
- Every morning I wake up
and I think I'm in the Rascal Flatts lodge.
I got some work to do.
(buzzer dings) - Link.
- This is a dog.
(crew laughing)
- That's a good guess.
- [Stevie] No.
- [Rhett] It is like a Cocker Spaniel almost.
What in the world?
- [Link] I don't know what's happening now.
(buzzer dings) - Rhett.
- The Hulk? - Incorrect.
- Okay.
(buzzer dings) - Link.
- Venom.
- Correct. - Yes.
I saw that tongue.
Only three points though?
- [Rhett] Oh, I shoulda just waited.
I should've blocked you out.
- [Link] Did it not look like a Cocker Spaniel,
right at the beginning?
- I thought Cocker Spaniel.
No, honestly, when you said dog,
I almost said, Cocker Spaniel.
- Yeah, I was thinking Cocker Spaniel,
Go back, Morgan, to the beginning
where it looked like a Cocker Spaniel.
There, right there.
- [Rhett] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
See that? - See the ears?
That's a freaking Cocker Spaniel.
- No, I thought it was a great guess.
And I'm not blowing smoke, man.
- All Venoms are made from Cocker Spaniels.
We're learning so much today.
- All right.
- Okay.
It could be Jesus.
(buzzer dings)
Me? - Oh, what the, in the?
Okay, Link, Link.
- Was it me?
- [Stevie] Yeah, confirmed by the crew.
- I don't know.
Okay, yes.
- Oh, you don't have a guess anyway?
- No, I have a guess.
- Bigfoot.
Sasquatch. - Correct.
- Yes!
- Specifically from "Harry and the Hendersons."
(crew laughing)
- [Link] Oh, look at those eyes.
Oh, look at him.
He's giving you the love signal.
- That's a smallfoot actually, look.
Is that like a child Bigfoot?
And was that a horse putting
the final touches on that thing?
- And a horse did this whole thing, yes.
With his teeth.
That's what we really got.
We gotta get a horse that just does the wood carving.
That's the only investment.
- Okay.
That wasn't a lot of points though, I'm still losing.
- Well, it was close.
- [Link] Okay, what is happening here?
(buzzer dings) - Rhett.
- Donkey Kong.
- Incorrect. (Rhett laughing)
- I did see Donkey Kong.
What?
What is that?
Ah. (buzzer dings)
- [Stevie] Link.
- Jedi Kermit.
Kermit in a robe. - No, no.
You're in the-- - A frog.
- Surprisingly the right area. - A frog in a bathrobe.
- [Stevie] No, we're throwing it.
(buzzer dings) Rhett.
- He's from Star Wars
and I just don't know the name of the guy.
- [Stevie] No, no.
- Okay.
- This is, this is Toad from the storybook "Frog and Toad."
- [Stevie] Yeah!
- What is that? - What?
(crew laughs) Am I right?
- It's Toad from, it's Mr. Toad,
or Toad Hall from "The Wind in the Willows," but yes.
- Oh, that's not what I was,
I was talking about "Frog and Toad."
But I will take the point.
- I've seen that,
but I couldn't have told you where it was from.
- I could see that in my backyard,
like my outdoor billiards area.
- Yeah, yeah, that's for the outdoor table, for sure.
Don't put that thing inside.
- That was a tough one.
- You're inching back, man.
Dang it! - Mm hm.
(buzzer dings) - Link.
- Uh, this is a condor.
(crew laughing)
And the laughter is not encouraging.
- [Stevie] Incorrect.
- Condor.
What are those three things on the side?
- [Link] What, I still don't see it.
(buzzer dings)
- Rhett. - Okay.
- It's a pumpkin with an eye.
- [Stevie] Yeah, I'll accept it.
It's a monster pumpkin,
but it says, also accepted, pumpkin.
So pumpkin with an eye, I'll give it to you.
- Okay, I was like,
is this another IP that I am not familiar with.
- These are getting generic.
They're getting a little bit more generic here.
- [Stevie] Well, it all comes down to this last one.
So everything's on the line.
- You gotta go in early, at least five early.
Okay. (sighs)
- [Link] It's a longy.
(buzzer dings) - Link.
- This is a mythical, a manticore.
The lion head and the something body is my guess.
'Cause I can't just say lion.
- [Stevie] Incorrect.
- [Link] Okay, I've blown it.
(buzzer dings) - Rhett.
- It's the two famous lions from "Lion King."
It's Simba and Musafa.
- I think... - Mufasa!
- [Stevie] I, yeah.
- Can I get a headband that says Mufasa.
- [Stevie] Yeah, I will accept that.
It's a lion and it's cub, but it does look like them.
- [Link] I was gonna say, it's a lion giving birth.
- [Rhett] Yeah.
The lion just crapped out that baby lion.
- That's not how birth works.
Can we deduct points because he thinks birthing
and crapping are the same thing?
(Rhett laughing)
I mean, amen.
That was your chance though.
What were you calling it, manticore?
What'd you call it?
- Yeah, a manticore.
Isn't that correct?
Five points for that?
All right, I'll give it to you.
Congratulations, you win.
Now's your chance to celebrate.
- Oh, I get to celebrate by chaining you up.
- [Link] Oh.
- And in time lapse. - Oh good God.
- You can thank our collaborators,
while this happens, the people who...
Well I'll do the chaining, I'll do the chaining.
- You want me to turn?
I don't know.
I think that the fact that woodcarving makes us
both so happy that we really
weren't at each other's throats today.
- Hold on.
The way you pulled that out is making it
where you can't keep pulling it out.
So pull it back.
- Thanks again to WoodArt Vietnam, Ryan Cook Carvin,
and Chainsaw Dave for sharing
your awesome creations with us.
I'll be calling you about my billiard room,
first I gotta get a billiard room on the other line.
Check out their channels.
So wrap that around yourself and now spin.
- Slowly or fastly?
I guess, let's call this slow motion.
That's a little high.
- Oh, there we go.
There we go.
- Ah!
- Why was there a groan?
- Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell.
- You know what time it is.
- Hi, I'm Allison.
- And I'm Jordan.
- And we're here at Hooker Falls in North Carolina.
- [Both] And it's time to spin the Wheel of Mythicality.
- Hooker Falls, huh? - Hooker Falls.
- You don't say. - Nothing to it.
- Hope she gets back up.
- Click top link to watch us detect which crazy woodcarvings
are real or fake in "Good Mythical More."
