- Leggo that Eggo, we're
going international. - Let's talk about that. (cheerful music) Good Mythical Morning. - Now I always thought that
waffles had a time and a place, breakfast and the kitchen table. - And I always thought waffles were just a reservoir for my syrup. - Well I think we're both wrong. - Or maybe just a little too American. - Yep. Today we're busting out of
our American waffle matrix to see how people are eating
waffles all around the world. It's time for... - [Both] Where in the World do These International Waffles Come From? - You know how we do, we're gonna try a particular waffle dish native to somewhere on the globe, then we're gonna throw a dart at wherever we think that
type of waffle comes from. - Mhm. - Now Chase is out of town
in a cartographer convention, something he's really into, of course, so Josh is filling in as our
WaffleVision cartographer. - It is I, WaffleVision! My superpower is I use the tape measure a little bit worse than Chase! - Yeah. - [Josh] It's hard! - He's gonna learn so much. But right now I'm just trying to decipher the connection between,
I think it's WandaVision, so you're Vision.
- Yeah, he's Vision. - That's the pun! - But the connection to waffle... - Popular show, waffle
almost sounds like Wanda. - Yeah, yeah, it starts the same. I get it. I'm on board. - Okay, WaffleVision, thank
you for filling in for Chase. He's gonna learn so much. When he comes back, he's gonna know- - I was like "Josh isn't
gonna learn anything." - He's not gonna learn anything. - I learned that this job
is very confusing at times. - Whoever has the lowest
amount of centimeters at the end of the game wins, and Rhett, you lost last time.
- I sure did. - So you get the special
advantage dart this time around, the flying saucer. That's a berry-colored,
well, it's covered. And it's berry colored and covered waffle that you can frisbee at the board. - And the winner wins the most
American waffle in America. - All right. (acapella music) - Oh, look at this, starting fun times. - [Link] What is this? This is a... - [Rhett] It's a fish with
something inside of it. - Yeah, I can see something leaking out. - [Rhett] I'm just gonna bite
it right out of the fish. - [Rhett Voiceover] I really don't like that Link won last time. Winning is my thing. - I didn't hear anything. - [Rhett] What? - Nothing. I didn't get any of the darkness. It's back here. - Is this like figs? - It's good. It's sweet. It's not chocolate. - [Rhett] It's like a Fig Newton! - [Link] I'm going first. - Yeah, Link, you're going first, man! - Okay. Hm. Hm! It's good.
- Yeah. - What is that, a bean paste? A sweet bean paste? Thailand's on the board. Bean paste. Could be Japan. - [Rhett Voiceover] If I could
time this fart just right, that'll really throw him off. - Don't. - Don't what? - Don't fart. Okay. I'm gonna hedge my bets a little bit. - Which are you going for? - I'm going a little bit
to the west of Thailand. The corn capital of the world. - Yeah, corn on the cob on the beach. - Here we go! Ooh yeah. That works for me. - I believe that this is
either Japan or Thailand, because of the bean paste. - And because he's copying me. - How does it feel? The fun times that go
into making a fish waffle. - It feels fine, okay? - It feels like something
that you would see in the place that I've
always wanted to go, but never been able to go, you know. And I can actually say it, you know, obviously it's
not a problem, Tokyo. That's what it makes me think of. - Oh, did you just say Tokyo? - Whaaaat! Japan. - Oh, you lobbed it. I like that. - I'm horrible. - I liked that. - [Stevie] These adorable
waffles are called taiyaki, named for the fish they resemble which is also a symbol of good luck. They traditionally come
with a red bean filling, but can also be filled
with custard, chocolate, or sweet potato. These snacks were first sold in 1909, and are still enjoyed today in Japan.
- Ya! But I don't think I'm any
closer to Japan than you. - Maybe a little. - Link, you, Morgan told me to stand
with my elbow near Canada. Link, you got 12 centimeters. Rhett, you got 16 centimeters. - Oh, I was actually further away! - Yeah, you were. I don't know how. - I don't believe that, Josh. I think you might need to switch that. - Give me one second. - Can we get Chase on the line? Can he get into a little
enclave at the conference? - No, no, no, Link, you got 16, Rhett, you got 12. - Okay, thank you. Thank you. - You should've seen me do the scoreboard for girl's basketball
games in high school, it was worse.
- Hey! Link did, too! - [Josh] You did? (indistinct) You forget to add the points sometimes. - Yeah, right. - [Josh] Get real mad. (acapella music) - Well, we got a fried egg, it seems. And...
- [Rhett] It seems. - This is a strange waffle,
it's very constructionesque, very structural, very... - [Rhett] Do a little dippy-do? - It's almost like a piece of
toast with holes cut in it. - [Rhett Voiceover] Any
minute now, he's gonna find that I've loosened the legs on his chair. (crew laughs) - Mmhm. - Did you loosen the legs on my chair? - Any minute now.
- I don't think... This doesn't taste like a waffle. - It doesn't taste like a waffle at all. It tastes like a hashbrown. - It tastes like potatoes. - It tastes like a potato. - And I mean, is this
gonna taste like an egg? - I don't think the eggs
are anything different. - A potato waffle. Well, you're going first again. Potato waffles. - Where do they love potatoes so much, that they decided to just
put it into a waffle? Last time, or at some point on this show, I seemed to imply, sorry, that I thought that Ireland was in the UK. I didn't actually think that, it was a little bit of a brain fart, I know that I'm kinda from there, even though I thought I was from Scotland, I want to apologize to
the people of Ireland, I know that you are your own country. It's Northern Ireland that's in UK, right? Sorry! - Pretty messed up, Rhett. - [Rhett] There's gotta be
potatoes in Northern Ireland, which is in the UK. - It's like listed separately a lot. (Rhett laughs incredulously) - What are you doing? You like stood up. Why are you standing up? - My shoulder's bad, I
need to go lefthanded. - Your shoulder's bad? - It's been bad for a while.
- What do you mean your shoulder's bad? The thing is, you mighta gotten lucky, and landed right there on Senegal, as the right answer. Is it Western Africa, or Eastern Africa, over there at Kenya, where the like to potatofy their waffles? - [Rhett] They're pretty good. - You were trying to go
for the UK, I mean... The potato of it all definitely
makes sense up there. He left the door open for me. I'd feel really bad, if I didn't copy him just because you shame me into copying him so much, when I really need to this time. I'm gonna try to just
throw better than you. - Okay. - Ho, yeah! Now tell me, Stevie. - [Stevie] A popular
breakfast or snack food, these potato waffles can
be paired with eggs, meat, baked beans, even fish sticks. While potato waffles are also enjoyed in Ireland and Australia, the leading seller of
potato waffles, Birds Eye, makes their waffles in the UK. - [Link] Yes! Thank you. - You know what? You're welcome. - I woulda guessed that anyway. I wasn't copying you. - I gave you the lead so that you have to make
a decision on your own. This is all part of the plan, it's fine. - Rhett is red, Rhett, you got 18. Link, you got seven. - Woo! Nice!

for the deets. - For the deets! - For the deets. - Look at this, Link. - It's like a corn dog,
but it's waffleized. And there's ketchup,
and there's mayonnaise. - [Rhett] Is it a corn dog? Is it...? - I wonder what's in there. - It's a sausage! There's a dog, there's a wiener in there! There's a wiener in there, Link! - This is fabulous, I love
to find a wiener in there. - That's really good. Mayonnaise, dip it in mayonnaise? - Waffle dog, dang! Pressure's back on. - [Rhett] All right. - [Rhett Voiceover] Okay,
next time he's about to throw, I'll pinch his weenus. - Now, touching is illegal. - What are you talking about? - [Link] When throwing. - What are you talking about? - I'm just saying, touching
is illegal while throwing. - Where are you getting these ideas, that I would be interested
in touching you? - You can't be tugging or grabbing or pulling at me.
- Why are you even saying that? - I just have-
- What? - What do you mean "What?" - One of my tactics is, you
just say "What?" really loud when you're arguing with someone. It's very frustrating for the other what? - Shut up.
- What? What?
- Just be quiet! Also, keep your thoughts quiet. - What? - Corn dog waffle, waffle dog. - You didn't eat a lot of your dog here. - I could definitely see this
as just a Canadian fun thing. Thailand had a lot of food on a stick. Not just corns. I remember a lot of
street food on a stick. I could also see it being Norwegian. - [Rhett Voiceover] Ooh,
I'll tell him I love him. He won't see that coming. - I love you. - I didn't see that coming. - What? - Ketchup and mayonnaise
is a European thing. So I gotta hedge my bets
between Norway and Greeks. - Greeks. - [Link] There we go! - [Rhett] Whoa, whoa, whoa,
you almost hit Greece. - [Link] Yeah, I did. - The mayonnaise of it all, we know they dip french fries
in mayonnaise in Amsterdam. - [Link] Yup. - But, putting a wiener
in something like this, and then ketchup. The Canadians love ketchup. I think-
- What? - See how good it works?
- What? - You were on the right track.
- What? What? - You were on the right track.
- What? - You were on the right track. - What? - So, it might be Norway,
but I gotta make up a little ground here. I'm gonna aim at Eastern Canada. Ah, well, almost Norway. - All right, Stevie, talk to us. - [Stevie] This hot dog on a stick is cooked in waffle
batter until golden brown. The snack is then handed
out by street vendors who also offer ketchup
and mayo on the side, and while these hot dog waffles can also be found in the Philippines, this popular treat originated in, of course, it's Thailand. - Oh!
- [Rhett Voiceover] No! - Dang! - I told you it could've been
there 'cause of the stick! - Ugh! - Link! You got 29. Rhett! You got 47. (Link laughs triumphantly) - Ooh, this is bad. - Yeah, you should've listened to me. - This is bad. (acapella music) Oh, we got some... - It's like a pinwheel.
- This is like fried dough. - Oh, but look at the back of this thing, it's like, it's hollowed out, it's like... It's just a... Like a funnel cake, more than a waffle. - Yeah, this is fried dough. - Ooh, it's nice. Hm. Deep fried, light as a feather goodness. I think Africa's calling me. Senegal. The thing is, the way
these things are made, it's like there's like a mold. - [Rhett] It sits on that mold. - And it could be... I'm just really feeling that
it's a Senegalese thing. - [Rhett] Okay. - And it's in the middle of
the map, too, so I like that. Oh yeah, and my aim is pretty good today! - It's really good. This reminds me of those things
that you see on those carts. There's the deep fried things
that they sell in the park. And I believe that it's
reminiscent of something from Latin America. Which would send me to Panama. But this may go all the
way down to Argentina. I'm gonna split the
difference between those two. - [Link] Oh, look at you. I don't feel threatened at all. - Yeah, I'm not really any closer to either of the answers
that I wanted to be at. - [Stevie] You just tried rosettes, sweet fritters made with a rosette iron, dipped in batter and
then deep fried in oil, topped with powdered sugar or icing, rosettes are traditionally
made at Christmastime in their home country of Norway. - Oh, dang it!
- Oh, we were both off. - Man, I don't know if I
can win, even with a cheat. - [Stevie] And they're also
enjoyed throughout Scandinavia, for those in the comment section. - Link, you got 23. Rhett, you got 44. - Ah!
- Ooh! - [Josh] Hurts, don't it? - Yeah, it hurts bad, man. Is this what you feel like most years? - No, I take it pretty well. - Mm. (acapella music) Oh, lookie here. - This is like an ice cream treat, and look at how the waffle part of this is like a bulbous... Are those...? - There's an ice cream place- - Kinda hollow. - In town that serves
stuff in a bubble cone, I think they call this. - [Link] It's very tasty. This green ice cream, I
wonder if that's a hint. - Well it's, yeah. Yeah, this is a sealed deal at this point. - This is up for anywhere on the map. It's a mystery round. The flavor of this green, I don't know, would this be like green
tea ice cream or something? It's very subtle. - [Rhett] It's very good. - And you've got your advantage dart. - Yeah, but, I believe the only way that
you could lose at this point is by missing the board, and getting an automatic 50. - I've seen this somewhere, so maybe we're back in like
a Indonesian type vibe. So I'm gonna go for that zone. - [Rhett Voiceover] Little does Link know, I've switched his glasses for a non-prescription hipster dupe. (crew laughs) - Little late for that. - Yeah, yeah, I shoulda
done that round one. What? - [Link] Wabam! - Oh my gosh! You almost missed the board! - It slipped out of my hand. - Oh, that would've been the most epic Link moment in history if that had happened. - Oh my gosh. - That was my only hope, and I was like, "It's almost gonna miss!" - I know! It felt like it was in slow motion, and it like, it just kinda whimpered. - I mean this is obviously
from an Asian country, with the green tea ice cream and the fun bubbleness of it all. Honestly? This might be fun to throw,
but I'm not gonna win, whether or not I throw this or not, and I just feel like I don't need to make anybody clean this up. - [Stevie] I love that. - That's big of you. - You know what I'm saying? It's like, why clean this up? Y'all just enjoy this, okay? - You know you're gonna lose, so you're trying to be the hero? - No, I'm just like, "Why take the time to get
dirty, to get that dirty, to potentially get stains on the crew, just to throw a waffle that
has no chance of winning?" I mean what would be more interesting, is if I actually hit the
country that this is, and then you let me win. - Oh. Yeah, I ain't gonna do that. - No, so I'll just throw it
into the general vicinity of where I think it is. - [Link] Oh, you hit Thailand. - Hm. That's a new technique. - [Stevie] Bubble waffles,
also known as egg waffles, were originally broken into pieces and each bubble was sold individually. Nowadays they're filled with ice cream and are usually topped with whipped cream and chocolate syrup. You can find these waffles, also known as gai daan jai or little chicken eggs in Cantonese in Hong Kong. - Oh, I was pretty close to that. Not close enough. - Do you wanna know how close you are? - Yeah, I like your super gestures. - Thanks, man, I'm trying it on for size. Rhett, you got six, Link, you got 28. - Wow. - Which doesn't bridge the gap somehow. - Two in a row, Link, 2022.
- Two in a row in 2022. I might be three in a row, if we go into last year. I don't know for sure, but okay, yeah. It looks like I win the
most American waffle. Boy, I'm glad this is what I've won. - You wanna dip it in some berries? - No, I would just like
to nibble on Maine. - [Rhett Voiceover] Dang it. I gotta admit, I still love
Link's smile when he's winning. - Thanks for subscribing
and clicking that bell. - You know what time it is. - Hi, I'm Sylvian, I'm at
the University of Malta, and I just graduated with
my bachelor's degree. It's time to spin the
Wheel of Mythicality. - Congratulations. - You did it! - Now click the top link to watch us cook a full

Is Chase secretly dead?
Suggestion for the next international darts-game: Liver!
With
These are some suggestions, maybe it helps to work out the episode.
Everytime I see India's flag I get so excited to see what dish are they going to use because Indian dishes are so different than the categories and it becomes a very technical definition and to me that is very interesting. Got sad though that there was no Indian dish.
I'm an Indian mythical beast.
I love Josh and mythical kitchen but it seems like he forgets there is a camera when he is on the couch. He looks like he is very much in "I could be getting actual work done right now" thoughts and it's hilarious to me.
Their banter in this episode was hilariously great!
It’s always a good morning when we get a “Tokyo”
Stevie was determined to see that quail anecdote to the end in More, Rhett and Link banter be damned.
Rhett went to the Stone Cold Steve Austin school of debate apparently.
poor link, always first guessing Thailand and then veering, lol
