- Today one of us will
lick our way to victory. - Let's talk about that. (funky electronic music) (fire crackles) ♪ Good Mythical Morning ♪ ♪ Ah yeah ♪ (chuckles) In the past, we
have felt our way to victory. See episode 888 where we played the Feel and Squeal Challenge. We've also smelled our way to victory. See episode 1190 where we competed in the Smelling Bee Challenge, but today, our hands and our noses will do us no good because our tongues are
gonna take center stage. - Yes and we thought long
and hard about which game would work best with the
tongue: tongue of war, tongue twister, the
three-legged tongue race, whatever that is, but no. There can only be one. It's time for Lick Tac Toe. - Behold the great Lick Tac Toe board. Now we have no idea what lies
behind any of these squares. All we know is they hide items no one would ever voluntarily lick. Unfortunately for us, the
only way to claim a space on the board is to do just that. - Yes, in order to leave our Xs or Os, we must put our blindfolds on and then lick whatever comes out. If we can correctly guess
that, we claim that square, and if we incorrectly guess, the square goes to the other guy. - Of course the first
person to get three in a row in any direction wins the official title of Sir Licks-a-Lot. And if there's a tie, we
must divide that title. - Okay and before we can begin, we gotta decide who's gonna go first which is the ultimate
advantage in Lick Tac Toe and to do that, we're gonna face the
trial of tongue-foolery. - Okay, let's put on our blindfolds. All right, I am blindfolded. Bring in the item. - [Stevie] Ready? - The first person to guess
this gets to go first. - [Stevie] Set. Lick! - I don't wanna lick you. - Ugh, what is it?
- Bark, bark. - Tree? Egh. - Coconut!
- Rhett! - Ugh. (both gag) - I can't lick and guess at the same time. - Was it a full coconut? - That's very difficult.
- A whole coconut. - I was afraid it was
just a piece of coconut and my tongue was gonna
slip out and hit yours. Woo! - I know, I was afraid of that too. - Close call. - [Stevie] All right
Rhett, you're going first. - All right. Now, it would be typically and
traditionally most strategic to go for the center square. - Mm-hmm. - But I don't have a lot
of confidence in my ability to identify and if I don't get it right, then all of a sudden, you
get the center square. (Link blows raspberry)
So I'm going for-- - Excuse me.
- I'm going for one up top in the corner. - All right.
- Upper right corner. Maybe I should put my blindfold on. - Yeah put your blindfold down. Release the lickable item. That's right, get a full lick. All right, okay, that's, you need more?
- It's a very hairy, it's like a fuzzy nut of some sort. Fuzzy nut, my final answer, no. - [Link] All right is that your guess? - No no no no. What kind of nuts are fuzzy? It's actually, it's a
lot like the coconut. It feels like a baby coconut. Uh, some kind of fruit
that's got hair on it. - You know, I'm just gonna say everything you said is correct. - Oh really? Oh, I know what it is. It's a kiwi, final answer. - [Stevie] Okay, remove your blindfold. - Yes!
- It's a kiwi! - Woo!
- Dang, son! - Okay.
- I didn't think you were gonna get that.
- I didn't think I was either. - Okay, I know it's more
difficult with the blindfold on. Right?
- Yes. - Of course, 'cause it was
very easy to tell it was a kiwi 'cause I saw it. - (chuckles) Right. - I didn't even have to lick anything. - It's tough, man. - Okay, now I'm faced with the same thing. If I go for that middle square, that gives you a tremendous
advantage if I get it wrong, so I'm gonna follow suit. I'm going for the lower left square. - Oh. - All right, so down here. Blindfold on. Okay, I'm ready. (Rhett chuckles) It's liquid. - You gotta really get this one. - It's just a viscous, tasteless liquid. - You gotta get that tongue in there and you gotta whip it. (chuckles) - Oh it's gelatinous.
- Yeah. There should be a different consistency if you really go for it. If you really get in there, you should notice a different consistency. - Uh, shoot. I'm gonna guess--
(smacks lips) A raw egg? - [Stevie] Remove your blindfold. - Oh yeah! What--
- I'm really surprised that you took it that well
'cause you hate raw eggs and you were basically scrambling
that egg with your tongue. - I should be eating raw eggs-- - [Rhett] You have no reaction! - Blindfolded all the time. (chuckles) Look at that, wow, hey. We're off to a competitive
start, are we not? We're good lickers and
there's me with my tongue. - Okay so now, we basically
blocked each other from going diagonal across that way. I'm feeling pretty good
about our lickability, and so I'm actually
gonna start going down. I'm going to the middle right square. I'm trying to go for the win. I'm making a line, sucka.
- All right. All right, I feel like
that's an interesting choice, that particular spot. I love it. - Blindfold's on, where's the item? - [Link] Licky licky. (softly grunting) - Ugh. Ugh.
- Uh-huh. Oh my goodness. What are you experiencing? - It feels like a potted
plant of some kind. - Uh-huh.
- But it smells like a fish. Am I licking fingers? What am I licking? - Well if I told you that, that wouldn't be very competitive of me. - It's a foot of some kind. There's like claws. - Wow. - [Rhett] I mean that's claws, right? - I'm not going to answer your question. But give us a guess, brother. - Is it a sea creature that has feet? (grunting miserably) A alligator foot. - [Stevie] Is that your official answer? - Final answer. - [Stevie] Remove your blindfold. - Oh it's a chicken foot. (chuckles) Why does it smell like seafood? - It's the chicken of the sea, which is, turns out just to be chicken. - It smells so, I wanted
to saw chicken foot, but I kept smelling the odor of-- - Can I smell it?
- Sea. It smells like the sea. - Ew, wow. - It's like--
- It just has a stink. That has a stink. Now I get the spot. Now, okay, I understand your strategy now. That didn't help me. Is that why you did that? - Yeah, I want to help myself, man. - But not help me if you lose,
and that's what you've done. - Right.
- Well that was smart. - Yeah, I went to engineering school. - Okay well interesting, so did I. And I just understood what you were doing. Okay, it appears that if I go
with the middle left square, and I get it, then I got two ways to win. So I'm gonna go for
the middle left square. It's funny how the middle middle square is not popular anymore. - We're just playing around it. - All right so, blindfold on. Get my licker ready. Is it out? Oh. Okay. It's, egh. (coughs) It stinks. (shuddering fearfully) I don't like licking something
that stinks this bad. Ugh! - The smell is not helping? - I can't take the smell. I'm starting to get scared. I feel like this is like a dried-- (quivers) I feel like this
is a dried, hairy insect. (sighs) I hope this is not what it is, but I'm gonna guess that
this is a dried spider. - [Stevie] Is that your final guess? - Final answer. - [Stevie] Please remove your blindfold. (screams)
(Rhett laughs) - Oh my gosh! I freaking licked that!
- You've been licking it for quite some time.
- It stinks. It stinks so bad. - No need to be scared now. Okay.
- Hey we're pretty good with our guesses though. So I get another, oh my gosh. - Put yours there.
- I need a tongue wipe. That was--
- Tongue wipe. Patent pending tongue wipes. Okay I have to go for the
upper left hand corner because that's the only way just to begin strategy for myself. Here we go. - All righty.
- Blindfold on. - [Link] Gosh, give him a nasty. Give him a really nasty, Alex. - Ugh. (moaning) Ugh, oh no. Oh no. Oh no, I'm licking another tongue. Oh no! Oh, ugh, it's so big! It's a cow tongue, oh gosh, I mean what else has a tongue that big? - [Stevie] Is that your official guess? - Yes, cow tongue.
- Remove your blindfold. - Oh gosh, what, why? Why are you so big? - That is worse than a tarantula, man. But you know what, you got the space and that's the silver lining. You've blocked me, punk! - I did. - [Link] Okay. - Okay now see, this is interesting. See what's happening here? We both have a chance to win. But you got the advantage. - This is how Lick Tac
toe should be played! - That's right! - (sighs) All right. For the win, I'm going for
the Joan Rivers square. The center square. Okay, removing the glasses. Okay, blindfold down. Oh gosh. I'm freaking nervous.
- Oh my. - Oh my? - Mm-hmm. (Rhett chuckles) (whimpers) - What was that? It was wet!
- Mm-hmm. - Dang I'm scared.
- Just lick it, man. Pretend your tongue has its own mind. And you're just the
host of this little slug that lives in your mouth
and it just wants to-- - Little slug? - This little slug--
- Is it a little slug? - No in your mouth, there's
a little slug in your mouth. It's a curious slug. Let him go about his day. He finds out what things
are by touching them. And you're just, your mouth
is just the cave he lives in. (Alex laughing)
- Is that you, Alex? - Yes.
- That's Alex's thumb. - Ugh, it's wet. Ugh! - Your curious tongue wants more touching. - I'm freaking out. - [Rhett] Come on, man! - I just can't take it. Oh my gosh, I can't bring myself to bring my tongue on it again. - Yeah you can. Well if you can't, then,
you're setting me up for the win, Sir Licks-a-Lot
would look good on me. - (yelps) I can't, I can't. All right, I'm just gonna guess. - Well you have to guess something. - Shoot, I think it's a snake. I'm gonna guess, I'm
just gonna guess snake. - [Stevie] All right,
remove your blindfold. - What the, what the heck is that? It's a freakin'--
- It's eyeballs, man. - [Stevie] Tuna eyeballs. - Tuna eyeballs.
- Ah! I could have licked that, I guess. - Your curious--
(crew laughs) Your curious slug's gotta
be more curious, man. - You know what, you blocked me. - [Rhett] You blocked yourself. Okay. - Oh gosh, can you please--
- I have no choice. - I just want-- - You want me to end this game? - Please win. I don't wanna lick anything else. That was horrifying. - Well this is actually
the last opportunity for either of us to win is to get, I gotta get, well, I could get, yeah. If I don't get this one, then it's a draw. No, you could still get down here. Okay, so I'm going for the upper middle. And the blindfold is on. - Bring it out. (grunts) Uh? - Okay. You gettin' something? - Oh gosh it stinks too, oh. - [Link] It stinks or stings? What did you say? - It stinks.
- Stinks. - I can't... What? - Alex first had a non-gloved hand and now all of a sudden there's
a gloved hand out there. All right. - This feels very insecty also. Would there be another? Would there be another insect? - I don't think so. - What's that? - [Link] What's that? - Oh! - [Link] You getting
some more information? - Oh it's like a pincer. - A pincer. - Is it a pincer?
- I can't say. I wish I could just tell you what it was to end this entire madness. But I'm not going to do that. - It feels like a crab leg. - I know you're having
a lot of fun licking it but I feel like we need an answer. - It can't be a crab because
I'd be smelling crab. It's like a large insect
that has a pincer, man. It's a frickin' scorpion. It's gotta be a scorpion. Final answer.
- Final answer? - [Stevie] Remove your blindfold. - Yes! Woo! - It is a scorpion. We both win because this game is over! - There you go. Rhetts across the board. Where's my prize? - There is is.
- Wow. - All right, have a seat, brother. - The man with the golden tongue. - Oh it is, isn't it? - That was my nickname in high school. - Thank you for liking,
