- Today we guess when pies were fly. - Let's talk about that. (funky electronic music) - Good Mythical Morning. - We just released this month's
Mythical Society's vlog. It's a whole half hour. And we've got a special offer
for 25% off your first month if you join the third
degree during October. This includes folks in other
degrees who upgrade as well. Join now at MythicalSociety.com. - Yeah, check it out, lots of fun. Now, I'm a pie guy and I ain't alone. People have been fans of pies
since ancient Egyptian times, which is why nearly every hieroglyphic features someone wearing oven mitts. - Oh, I never noticed that. Today we're gonna see
if we can guess what era different pies are from
just by tasting them. It's time for Year Eye with
Two Straight Guys: Pie Edition. Welcome to the shuffle zone. - And each round we get to eat pie, yes! - Hey, okay. - But then we're gonna
have to guess which decade that pie was invented in
and then indicate our guess by shuffling that slice down here on the Mythical shuffleboard court. - Yes, and the loser the game
will have to read out pi, the entire thing, it never
ends, on our Instagram. Let's shuffle! - [Both] Round one. - This is a big pie. - Our first pie is here. Look at--
- What, is that meat? - [Link] This is a meat pie. I see like a cross-section
of egg, I see like-- - I'm gonna find out by tasting it. This is like a full meal in a bite. - It's like a super large like
shepherd's pie or something. - Oh. It's cold. - Ew, ew, and there's
something gross in it. (Link gagging) (crew laughing) This is not how this episode works, guys. This is supposed to be good pies. - It's not as bad as
you made it out to be. - It's some liver nasty. - No, there's also a lot of like coriander or something in there. Cloves! There's a bunch of cloves in there. - Nasty organ meat. Okay, I won this game last
time so you get the advantage of going second for the first round. - All right, go for it. - I just want to get this as
far away from me as possible. - This is a very heavy pie. This is going to impact your calibrations. Where you going? Still spitting.
- It's horrible. All right, and the decades over
here are all over the board. I mean, well I mean-- - That's the idea. (Rhett laughing) - This is a old pie where
like every part was used. - Safe to say it's not a 2000 pie. - I mean, I'm an American, I
don't know things before 1776. - That's right. That's when it all started. - See, it's either the 1510 or 1320. They're so far apart. I'm gonna go with 1320. I know this thing travels pretty fast. (fork clattering) - [Rhett] Oh, you kept your fork on it. - Come on, yeah. That fork is now an obstacle, I guess. Anything that comes off the plate-- - You can't, no, that's cheating man. - If the pie came off the plate,
that would be on the board. - The fork's not part of it. But you know what, I'll
let you have your way. - Anything that falls off
the plate, stays in play. It's not my way, it's
how the game's played. - Well, we've never put a
fork on the plate before in all the times we've played it, so that's not how the game is played. But you know what, I think
that your guess is pretty good. I mean, it could be 1050. - All right, you going around me? - No, I'm gonna knock you son. - You're gonna knock me?
- I'm gonna knock ya. - Now this new board has a
bounce back on the backside, so. Oh, look at that, it's interesting now. - Okay.
- Right in the middle. Okay. What was that horrible pie that we tasted? - [Stevie] You just ate
a Victorian pigeon pie. It's a savory game pie
featuring actual pigeon and it's earliest recipe
dates back to 1670. - [Rhett] So hold on, what does that mean? - [Link] That means I won. - [Stevie] I believe,
Rhett, you bumped him right into the right answer.
- I bumped you to the right answer.
- Yes, thank you! - You're welcome. - [Both] Round two. - All right, we got another meat pie. - [Link] Oh no, this one has fruits in it. - It's fruits and meats. It's also cold.
- Is that tuna? Chicken? Celery? I don't, what is that? - You know the way we
usually find out what it is? - I'm afraid to taste it man. - We eat it, Link. - [Link] I'm scared. - That's not bad. - It's like chicken-- - It's chicken salad on
top of some kind of Jell-O. No, no, it's tuna on top of Jell-O. - It has like a Chinese
food kind of sauce flavor. - I'm not getting that, but. - Like orange chicken sauce. - I think it might be like an orange-y marmalade-y thing, yeah, for sure. But you go first. - Because you're still in the lead. I'll leave my fork here.
- Good. - Man, this is, this is weird. - It's way better than
the first one though. I could have lived during this time. - This is still the distant past because we're not talking the year 2000. This is an exotic locale,
an exotic time period. - An exotic time period. - 1840 is calling my name. Oh, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. Woo, that thing likes to travel, Rhett. - Oh man, okay. So 1840 is a very exotic time period, you're right about that. - Right. - You know, I'm thinking 1930
because of the tuna fish. - That's when tuna really started kicking. - I don't know, tuna fish
feels like a cheap canned thing that would have been enjoyed in the '30s. You're pretty close, you're
actually super well positioned. - Yeah, you gonna knock me away from 1930 if you're that confident in your answer? - I feel like what I have to
do is I have to lightly graze you on the side and
nestle myself into 1930. Is that too complex of a goal? - It's just that I'm not listening. Go. - That's what I'm gonna try to do. - Oh my. You did it! You freaking did it. (Rhett cheering) All right, you did what you wanted, but were you wrong the answer? - Let's find out. - [Stevie] That was tuna and Jell-O pie, consisting of Jell-O, tomato
sauce, celery, olives, and a cheese crust and
topped with tuna salad. It was originally typed in
a Betty Crocker cookbook from the 1960's. - [Link] Oh yeah. - Okay, well, I'm closer to that. - You win the round. - The '60s was a time of
free love, not cheap tuna. - Very exotic. - [Both] Round three. - At this point, I just
want a pie to taste good. - This one's not going to. I has straight up lemon
or orange peel in it, just straight up. Just like sliced citrus. - [Link] Do you see any orange? I think it's just straight up lemon, man. - I like a lemon pie, but I don't like just a straight up lemon. That's just a cut lemon. - It's nothing but lemon. - I like a lemon pie, I need some crust. - I mean, after the crap that I've eaten in the previous two rounds, at least this washes it
all away, memory and all. - Get some of that crust,
it's actually good. - Crust helps? - Crust helps, get that to cut the lemon. - All right, you won the last
round with a great stroke, so why don't you go again first this time? - Okay. When was the decade of the lemons? I do believe there is
significance, excuse me, to the fact that the lemons
are just cut and not peeled. It feels like eating
whole lemons with the rind and everything is
something that would happen in the Dark Ages. And the Dark Ages were what? Isn't that like 1050? - I'd say currently. - Right, there's sort a
return to the Dark Ages. But that's not an option. Man, that's what I'm gonna do. I'm going to the Dark Ages. I have no better guess. - What are the Dark Ages? Which one is that? - I think it's like
around the year like 1000. So I'm going as close to
the year 1000 as possible. Whoa! Wow. Too bad it has nothing to do with how good you are at shuffleboard. - All I know is that, man,
you seem pretty confident, but that actually doesn't mean anything. - I'm not confident. - Yeah, I know. - [Rhett] I'm not confident. - I know you seem inconfident. - So what are you doing? - I'm knocking yours off. - Knocking it where? - [Link] Off. - Off the whole board? - Off the board and
putting mine in the middle. - Okay, see how well that goes. (Rhett laughing) Dang it. - Hold on, we don't
know what the score is. I mean, if it's 1510, you're closer. - Yeah, they still count. - All right, let's find out. - What's this lemon pie all about? - [Stevie] Okay, I can
barely even see where your plates went but that
was an Ohio Shaker lemon pie made with just eggs,
sugar, and lemons, rind on. Shakers in Ohio enjoyed
this back in the 1840's. - Oh, we gotta break the
measuring tape out for this. - [Link] 1840 is here. - So grab hold of your, grab hold of that. - [Link] I'm not gonna cheat, so. 40 and two ticks. - [Rhett] 40 and 2/10. - Okay. And then, find the-- - Oh, Link. 43, son. All right, I'm a Shaker. I'm a mover, I'm a Shaker. I'm a shuffler. - [Both] Round four. - Let's take a look at this pie. - Is this?
- Oh, that is-- - [Rhett] This looks like
this could just be fat. Is this just a fat pie? - It kind of looks like a
cobbler without the fruit. Which, I love. Let me get some of that. - [Rhett] It's very good. - Very sweet, vanilla-y. Finally, something good. This is a sweet, sweet pie. - This is a good pie. To me, this represents a
turning point in the pie game. I think that pie started to become pie as we understand it right around the time of our country's birth. Yep, 1770. - 1770 is his guess. Oh, he overshot it big time. - [Rhett] Stop, stop, stop, stop! - [Link] He is down to the year 2000. Dang it man, I hate you
because I actually think that much like modernism
took hold in the year 2000, this minimalistic pie was invented. I'm just making crap up, I don't know when this pie was invented. Like where was all the
fruit famines happening? - Well, there was a fruit
famine in the Dark Ages. - Yeah, you're right,
that's what I'm gonna do. There's no fruit, so I'm going for 1050. I'm gonna bounce off the
back and come back onto 1050. - Smart, make it twice
as hard for yourself. - Oh, lost my pie and I've lost my mind. We can measure from the
pie or the disk, right? - No, that's not how it
works, just the disk. - Okay, what's the answer? - [Stevie] Okay, that was a water pie, consisting of flour, sugar,
vanilla, butter, and water. - Yeah. - [Stevie] It was invented
as a comfort food for poor families during the Great
Depression in the 1930's. - [Rhett] Yeah, the '30s. - The freakin' Depression. All right, so you've won again. - Oh, I'm closer, yep. - Dang it. - [Both] Round five. - I wonder what's in this pie, Link. - Well, there's fish heads sticking out. Does that mean that there's
not fish heads in it because that'd make me feel better? - I'm pretty sure there's
fish bodies inside it. If there's a fish head
sticking out, there's a fish, whoa, look at that. - It looks like a quiche. - There's an egg in there. - It's like a freakin' fish quiche. - Oh, there's definitely fish in this. Oh, there's bones in there, too. Watch yourself. (Link coughing) That is not good. - [Link] Lot of fish. - This was a hard time
for whoever enjoyed this. - You still eating it? - I'm not gonna spit it out. I don't want to disrespect this era. So I technically can't lose at this point, but here's what we should do. If you can guess the decade correctly and also land on it and
I don't land it, you win. - Well, I have no choice but
to accept your kind offer. - When did they come up with
idea to let little fishes peek out of the pie? I'm going to just land at the
peak because we haven't said 1320 and this feels right to me. Stop, stop, stop, stop! - No, okay. At this point I'm just trying to remember what has not been answered,
'cause I have to say it, land on it, and then be right. Three things have to line up, none of which I feel great about. - Anything can happen. - All right, 1510. - You're going for 1510? Wow, okay. Hey, you got a chance, man. - Come on fish pie. - [Rhett] Don't go too hard. - Bounce, bounce,
bounce, stop, stop, stop! It's in there, it's in there! It's in there, that counts
as being in there, right? - [Rhett] I mean, it's
technically on the black. It's technically not in there. - The black is in there. - Let's find out whether or
not you were right or not. - [Stevie] This fish
headed pie you just ate is called a Stargazy pie. It comes from the legend
of fisherman Tom Bawcock who saved an entire village
from famine in England by making a giant fish pie-- - Bawcock? - [Stevie] In the early 1500's. - Okay, hold on, okay hold on. All right. This is interesting, Link, because-- - You know how to answer this? When we measured before-- - [Rhett] No, you measure to the green. - [Stevie] Guys, I
actually have the answer, 'cause I can see overhead. The plate is hanging,
technically, into the spot and I really feel like we
need to give this one-- - Okay, I'm gonna give it to Link! - I took all the hints and
advantages in the world, but in the end, I did win. - I don't feel great about it, but-- - Neither do I, actually. - Congratulations Link. And you know what, I kinda
want to re-pie anyway. Thanks for liking,
commenting and subscribing. - You know what time it is. - Hi, it's Ryan and Steve
from Fort Wayne, Indiana. And we're making-- - [Both] Pudgy pies. - And now it's time to spin
