(rhythmic electronic music) - Welcome to Let's Talk About That, the show about the show! I'm Stevie, and I wanna really, really, really wanna zig-a-zay ha. This week's guests like
to shout, my ride's here whenever they hear a police siren. Please welcome Rhett and Link. (banging)
(clapping) - So my name is Link and I'm on LTAT. - My name is Rhett and I'm here on LTAT. (banging) - I don't have sticks, I don't have sticks, welcome to LTAT. - Sorry we didn't support
you with our beat. - [Stevie] Thank you. - More logs for the fire!
- For apologizing. - Whoo!
- Guys. I have a very special top
of episode announcement. And that's that this week's episode is sponsored by Dollar Shave Club! - [Rhett] Okay, well, we

- Yeah, we did it. - Thank you for taking that one. - [Rhett] Whoo! - I have one thing on my this week list. (laughing) - My this week list. - And that's that I have a
very special surprise for Link. And I get very happy when I
have very special surprises, so this is my happy face. But it's about to get happier because today's rejected
snack is cheesy bread. - Oh, cheesy bread, okay.
- (clapping) Oh yes. - We did a Domino's versus
Pizza Hut Food Feuds episode and one item was missing,
the cheesy bread. So today, we're going to do
a classic blind taste test, and we're gonna taste cheesy breads from Papa John's, Domino's,
and Pizza Hut, blindly, and then rank them and guess
them and do all the things that we normally do.
- Yeah, we know the drill. - But just in a different format. So, I have the blindfolds--
- The blindfolds? - And we're gonna put these babies on, and let's do a cheesy transition of sorts to get our cheesy bread here. (chimes)
- As you can see, we can't. - And we are now donning
our wonder gloves, which will be our delivery mechanism because we are not gonna have
people come in and feed us. We're gonna have to feed ourselves. - Mm.
- The LTAT way. - The LTAT way. So, let's taste the first one, which is, I believe all
the way to the right. - [Link] I can't feel anything. - Yeah, I think that's the point. - I can't even find it. - [Stevie] And here? - [Link] I can't even find a breadstick. - [Rhett] I found one. - Oh my God, am I even in the right? - [Link] David, just yell at
me if any of us are picking-- - [David] Rhett's got it. - The wrong ones. - Oh, that's good. - I can't even freaking, okay. - [Rhett] I don't get that, I don't get breadsticks at pizza places. - I'm not gonna find my mouth, I know I'm not going to, don't make fun of me. - [Link] You haven't found it yet? - Oh yeah. - Do y'all get breadsticks
at pizza places? - Yeah, sometimes. - I usually just get pizza and wings because the bread, well,
unless it's a party thing. Then I will, yeah. - That one's good, it's
kinda thin, you know. It's got that, it's got like
a powdery something something. It's pretty garlicky. - It has a garlic, yeah, garlic. It's a little dry.
- I like that. I mean, I'm really hungry. - Yeah, they're on the
dryer and thinner side. - Am I eating my glove? Or this stick? - I think you'd know if
you were eating your glove. I'm gonna give that a seven. - I think it's pretty good. Well, but, you know,
I'mma start with a six. 'Cause I believe there's better. - I'm on the six page as well. And I am not gonna find plate again. I'm putting it here, so-- - And what are our choices? Papa John's, Domino's, and? - [Stevie] And Pizza Hut. - Okay. - [David] All right, three, two, one-- - Papa John's!
- Domino's! - Oh, oh, you said Papa John. - Oops.
- All right, Rhett and I agreed that it's Domino's. - Oh man, I've never had
Domino's cheesy bread before. - Hey, neither have I. I'm just guessing.
- M'kay. You could be right, I hate it. - Second plate? Second, whoa, oh, this
one's a thick daddy. - [Stevie] Ooh, ooh, buddy. - How are you even able? - I don't even understand what shape I am picking up right now, it feels-- - [Link] Oh yeah, thick daddy's right. I don't wanna bite that in the-- - Hmm. Thick daddy, but not much flavor daddy. - Is there even cheese on this? Did they just not get the cheese part? - Oh, I hit a cheese pocket. - Gimme--
- There's a lot more bread. - I didn't find a cheese pocket. - The bread part of it
doesn't taste as good, and I haven't really gotten to cheese. - Yeah, Once you get the cheese, the cheese will be very good. - I mean, it's cheese. - My cheese is thick. - But what about, the other part of it is the part that I don't like. And also, what shape is it in? You can't tell, so you can't see it. - It's just sort of like just a stick of, a stick shape. - A Stickosaurus. - I'm giving this one a six 'cause it's not as good as the first one. I like the cheese.
- I agree. I mean, there's more to it, so I feel like I should
give it a higher rating, but taste rules and this-- - Taste rules, man! - This is a four for me. - No fear! I give it a four as well. Am I agreeing with you
on everything, Link? - So far, yeah.
- I think I am. (gasps) Who have I become? - Except for your guess as to what it is. - All right, I'm gonna guess. - Wait, wait, wait!
- Are we ready to guess? - Okay. - [David] All right, ready? Three, two, one-- - Pizza Hut!
- Papa John's! No, Papa John's. - [David] You think that's Papa John's? What did you answer? - Pizza Hut. I don't know, 'cause I
don't remember Pizza Hut. - [Rhett] I've never had 'em, but-- - I don't, I'm--
- Is this? - Yeah, we're going for three. - Hold on.
- Oh, it's my mug. - [David] And Link, you guessed Papa John on the last one, right? - Yeah. All right, and I'm on to the
third, ooh, is this a longy? - [Stevie] What? (laughing) - [Link] I feel like some dangle weight. - The weight, the weight is not okay! - Do I have some dangle weight happenin'? - [Stevie] It feels so weird. - Whoa! - Very long.
- This isn't gonna be a horrible, horrible
gif, and I'm not gonna-- - [David] And Rhett, what did
you guess on the last one? - Oh, here we go. - [Rhett] I said Pizza Hut. - [David] Got it. It's kinda hard to hear from-- - Yeah, welcome to my life. - Mm, this one's got that powdery-- - It's got a lot of Parmesan on it. - Crumby stuff on it,
you call that Parmesan? - Yeah, 'cause I think it's Parmesan. - Oh, it has the familiar, like, I know this taste taste,
but I can't decide which place I know it from. - I gotta say, guys,
this one's pretty good. - Mmhmm, where's the cheese, though? - It's better than the second one, not as good as the first one. So, where does that put me? That puts me at givin' it a five. - I think it ties with the second one, I'm gonna give it a six. - Oh, I think gonna get all these wrong. But I like it just as
much as the first one, which I gave a six, so
I'm gonna give a six. But I'm, but I, I've failed myself. - I think I guessed the second one wrong, but I'm goin' for it because-- - Stevie, what you have to understand, I think we're kinda robbing
you of your confidence. - I ate my own hair! - What, we do not have
any confidence either, we just say things with confidence. - Yeah, right, you gotta
seem like you're right. - Try again. Just like, just say it like you mean it. - I ate my own hair! - That's it. - Okay, I'm ready to guess.
- All right, I have a guess. - [David] All right, three, two, one-- - Domino's!
- Pizza Hut! - Oh God! - Okay, I think Link may
have been right in all three, but I'm was committed to-- - Are we, are we unblindfolding? - I was committed to it. - [David] Yeah, you can
take off your blindfolds. - Okay. - [Stevie] Here's the thing-- - I ate a lot more than y'all. - The Parmesan, oh, I think I'm all wrong. The Parmesan topper, I thought
was very much Papa John's, and the first one, I tasted
like a Parmesanny topper, and the last one, I tasted
a Parmesanny topper. - A Parmesanny topper. - I'm feelin' pretty good
about mine, having seen. - You should feel good
because seeing them, I would have totally not
guessed any of those things. Damn you, wonder glove! - You know what? The one thing I'm taking back is that now that I'm seeing them, I'm liking the middle one the most. - [Rhett] The middle one
has cheese on the inside. - The cheese is on the inside, that's what messed me up! - I feel-- - I gotta boost my rating for that. I guess I can't. So where we at? - Yeah, what's the first one? - [David] So, the first
one is Papa John's. - Oh!
- Oh! - [David] That's also you guys' favorite. - Yeah, I said it tied, but yeah, okay. - [David] The middle one is-- - Wait, does Papa John's
have the garlic butter on it? - It's very garlicky,
that's the other thing that made me think it was Papa John's, the Parmesan and the garlic. - Mmhmm. - All right, what's the second? - [David] The second one is Domino's. - Yeah.
- I was wrong on all three. - [David] Total score of 14, and Pizza Hut is the last one with a total score of 17. - Looking at them, the middle
one looks like Domino's to me. But tasting them-- - I thought the middle
one was Papa John's, I thought I got 'em right. - [Stevie] I thought
it was Pizza Hut, so-- - So Link guessed the
last one correct, right? - [David] That's correct. - And I guessed the first one. - [David] And Stevie guessed
the first one correct. (ding) - And I guessed all three incorrect. - [David] That's yep, that's correct. - Well, together, we agreed
that Papa John's was the best. - [David] Yep, with a total score of 19. - [Stevie] The first one,
Papa John's, yeah, yeah! - Right, well, we tied. - [Stevie] Yeah. (laughing) - And Papa John's somehow
comes home as the winner, which I don't know. In this climate, should
we apologize for that? - Yeah, probably. But you know what?
- Oh God. - They're Shaq, so-- - Okay, so, you might remember
a few weeks ago, a month ago? I don't know what day it is! There was one day, it
was Rhett's birthday, and I had all these surprises for him and I was so excited about it. But I guess I was the only one that was so excited about it except for I saw that Link
was also excited about it. - Yeah. - And so I thought to myself, I gotta do something for Link. (laughing) But his birthday isn't
until June, what will I do? Half birthday. So, his half birthday
was earlier this week. - 'Course, I didn't know that! - And I knew about a little dream, a little dream you'd had. A dream that I could make come true. So I paired up with Rhett, we went in, and we surprised him. This is what happened. - [Rhett And Stevie] Happy
half birthday, Linky-poo! - [Stevie] Here you go! - You guys are actin' weird. (laughs) You invited just the three of us? - Yeah. Just like your mommy used to do, we have a little surprise for you. - You remember how your
mom used to surprise you when she had a birthday surprise for you? Well, that's how it's
gonna be today, okay? And let me put this blindfold on. Is it, is it too tight? - That's great. - Come on, let's go. Watch your step!
- Come on! It's gonna be so fun. Sorry I already ran you into something. - Is anybody else in here? (laughing) - Sit in the middle?
- Sit in the middle, that's the safest spot. (laughing) - Are you gonna keep
talkin' to me like a baby? - You buckled? Now buckle up. - Oh, and there's not a center buckle. - Just pretend like
there is and put it on. - Okay, I'm buckled! - Okay, here we go! - All right, everybody buckled in tight? - I'm buckled up, yes. It, you're kind of makin' me nervous when you keep asking me if I'm buckled up. - Did you remember the snacks? - I thought you were gonna get the snacks. - I told you last night
that I put the snacks in the cabinet next to the fridge. - Yeah, and that made it seem like you were gonna be
responsible for the snacks, when you said, I'm doing
something with the snacks. - Specifically, what were you doing? You were on your phone,
you were on your phone. - At that point, I tuned out, the snacks were your idea! I believed in the idea!
(sighs) But the snacks were your idea. You acted like you were on top of it, and you dropped the ball again! - I told you that when
you're looking at your phone, you're not gonna be listening to me. And I should've said, get off your phone, listen to me, I put the
snacks there for you to take. Now we don't have snacks. So now Link's gonna be hungry. - I will turn this car around. - Dad? Mom? Please stop fighting. It's my fault. - This is his, (clapping) this is-- - I should've brought the snacks. - This is Linky's special day, okay? - Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. - This isn't about us!
- Okay. - Now, I haven't signed any waivers that said you could touch me. I just wanna point that out. - What makes you think
we're gonna touch you? - And there's no touching
involved in this. - (sneezes) Excuse me. - Bless you.
- Thank you. - Say, bless you, when your mommy sneezes. - Bless you. I've never been blindfolded this long without being force fed something. You got any snacks? - Don't bring up the snacks. - [Stevie] Oh, can you feel it? - I felt some bumps. - Okay.
- Okay. - Okay, hold on. - Okay, here we go.
- You ready? - We're gonna take off your blindfold! - I'm gonna be blinded, I can tell! - 'Kay, you ready? Three, two, one-- - Oh my God! - Do you know where you are, Linky? - [Rhett] Look, buddy! - I'm in front of a horse! - Look what we got for you! - I'm gonna ride a horse? - You're gonna ride a horse!
(laughing) - Yes! So, this is Eric, hey, Eric. - How's it goin'? - I'm Stevie.
- Eric, Eric. I've been blindfolded, I
can barely see anything, but I do know that's a horse. - That's Link, and Rhett.
- Nice to meet you. This is Linky-poo, it's his big day. It's his big half birthday, he's never ridden a horse. - Are you excited? - Yeah.
(laughing) I'm actually very relieved. - What's the horse's name?
- Can I wear this? - This is Bishop. - Hi Bishop.
- Hey Biscuit. - Oh, he'll take care of you today. - Oh, you know what? He's already been out
here for at least a minute without sunscreen.
- Yeah, that's true. - Did you bring the sunscreen? There's a, you have a lot of forehead that can get a lot of sun. Hey, better safe than sorry. You don't wanna be like granddad, who had to have half of his face removed. - Oh God. - All right.
- Yep. - This is for you. - Okay, this is great, I'm
not gonna turn down a helmet. 'Cause I've never ridden a horse. - Safety first. - Except in my dreams. I had a dream that I was riding a horse at like a full gallop. And I woke up and I was
like, I, this is my dream. (laughing)
To ride a horse. - Is it tight enough? - It's tight enough. - You're supposed to be able to get two, one finger on each side. - Why don't we try and-- - It's fine, it's good, it's good. So I just wa--
- (tap tap) Okay. - But what if something-- - I've literally dreamed about this. - What if a bird-- (taps) - But I've not dreamed about this. - It could happen. - Like, they were not here in my dream. So, this is how a cowboy walks, right? - [Eric] A little bit, a little bowlegged. - [Link] Yeah. (laughs) - You look great! - You ready to do this? Let's be friends, now. You're gonna be my first time, you know? (laughs) (grunts) Oh gosh, that's-- - [Eric] You got it, you got it! - I'm goin'!
- Just get it in there! - Little bit deeper! - Two hands, grab hold with two hands! - Three, two, one-- (mimicking explosion) - Oh-- - [Rhett And Stevie] Oh! (clapping) - [Eric] There you go, you're on a-- - I'm on a horse! You've seen that commercial? Oh, he's movin'!
- You're off. - He's movin'!
- Oh, oh? (horse whinnies)
- No, bless you. - That's a good sign.
- That's up, that's polite! - [Link] I'm comin' right toward you! - Oh, both hands, to
keep both hands on there, don't let go! - All right. Neigh!
- Turn this way! - Whoa. - [Stevie] It's okay, it
was only your first time. - Buddy, you gotta control the horse. - What do you mean? I did good! - You did good, he did good. - How 'bout, oh, this is a steering wheel? - Yep. (clapping) - Oh yeah!
- Look at that. (laughs) 'Cause he plays a lot of those. - Where's my camera, where's my camera? Where's my camera? 'Kay, ready? Smile! (camera clicks) Yes! (laughing) - Now, don't do the peace
sign, don't ruin it. Don't do the peace sign,
just smile, just look happy. There, relax your sh-- There you go, action shot. - I'm 41 and a half! Ho, ho, ho yeah! Whoop, we're bouncin'! We're bouncin'! We're bouncin'! We're bouncin'! I'm gettin' a little ooh! Ooh. Oh, oh, whoa! Oh crap! Whoa! That scared me for a second. (laughing) I panicked a little bit
when we sped up there. It went from a bop bop bop to a bleppity blop, bleppity blop. - So, if you feel uncomfortable
with the blippity bop-- - [Link] Yeah? - Just pull back a little bit. - Pull back?
- Yeah. - How's your rash feeling? - You're embarrassing me, dad. Wow.
- Sit back! - Sit back, he said! He said sit back! - You need to sit back, Link! - Sit back! - [Rhett] There you go. - Okay, but I maybe put more
weight on the feet, huh? - [Rhett] Yeah. - Ooh, man! The jollies are really
gettin' pounded, oh! (laughing) - There you go! Do you need a cold compress
for your tallywhacker? (groaning)
(laughs) There you go!
- Oh boy! - [Rhett] Kick again! - Go Link, Link's our boy!
- Go Link! - If he can't can't do it--
- Go Link! - Yes, yes, yes!
- Go Link! - Sparkle like the letters! - If you wanna be a horse
boy, you can be a horse boy! (laughs) I'm really worried about his balls. - Yeah, I've been thinking
about his balls this whole time. - Yeah, oh my goodness! Oh! (laughing) - Oh my God! - That's, that's a bit scary! I'm just being honest. - I don't mean to put a
lot of pressure on you, but we did pay a lot of money for this-- - Right. - So if you could enjoy it
more than you are enjoying it-- - Right-. - That would be for, I
mean, it would be nice. - You're embarrassing us
a little bit right now. - Yeah. - [Rhett] Lemme see you smile! - Whoa! (ding) (laughing)
- There we go. Here, you need--
- Whoa, whoa. - Hydrate. I'll hold it, I'll hold it. Get it all down. (laughing)
- Oh my. Don't touch your Lucy. - Don't look at me, mom! I need like a cushion. Like, two cushions. - [Rhett] Oh, he's going on the inside, oh, I didn't know that. - Look away! (grunts) That's what a bandana's for! That was a good idea. - You know, I feel like if
we're gonna have grandchildren, we might need to put a stop to this now. - Even with the bandana? - Yeah, I don't know
much the bandana's doing. - Hey! - Okay, are you ready to call it a day? You look very tired and I'm kinda a little bit worried about your nether regions. - A few more rounds, dad! Yee-haw! - Okay, I think that should
just be about it. (clapping) - Whoa!
- Good job! - Whoa. - That was the best horse
riding I've ever seen! (gasps) - That was pretty exhilarating. - We have one more surprise for you. - [Link] Oh yeah? - You did such a good job. Look at the big champ!
- Wow. - [Rhett] Look at that,
look at the big champ! - I feel raw, but I feel like a cowboy, baby! Thanks, work mom and dad. - Did you have fun? - Hey Link!
- Yeah? - Link! Where you think you guys are goin'? You guys still got work to do. - What? - You gotta muck his stall! - (bleep) the what? - You gotta muck his stall! It ain't over yet! - Nuh-uh. - That was not as fun as
I thought it would be. - No, no, no, you are not, you are not getting in here like that. - Do you remember what
happened to the caravan? When you got in after your little mud run? - Take everything off. And then you can come in. Mommy will look away. - Seriously?
(door clunking) - [Rhett] Take it off! - Seriously? I don't care, I'll do it! - You can't get in here
with those clothes! (knocking) (clunking) Just put those on the floorboard. - Why you keep filmin' that angle? If I'd-a known I was gonna get naked, I'd-a gotten on the horse this way. (thump) - Look at that, look at that! - Stevie and Rhett. I just, I wanna thank you guys. I mean, that was everything
I hoped it would be. Except for the end part when I had to strip
down into my underwear. - Yeah. - That was not part of my original dream where I was riding a horse. - And you didn't get sunburned and you were safe, and you had a helmet on just right. - Yeah, actually, come to think of it, that seems like a nightmare, that we made you strip down. Because that's a typical
nightmare that one would have. - And I lost all of my teeth. - [Stevie] Yeah. (laughs) - And I hadn't been
takin' the class all year! - Right. - But I've got the bug. I think I'm gonna get a horse. I think I'll be riding a
horse to work every day, guys. I need a stall out back. - How's your crotch? - Once I stuffed that
bandana down in there, it legitimately helped. But this morning, I got up and I'm so sore, like, not my lower back, not my upper back, but
like right in the middle. - The old mid-back, they
call that the horse back. - Oh my gosh! It's like, I think it's
gonna be even worse tomorrow. Like, something, I carried
all my horse tension in the middle of my back. - Yeah, you gotta relax
that horse tension. - I thought that you did so well. Legitimate, not as your mom, just as me. I thought that you did really well. - I didn't look as stupid
as I thought I would, except for the parts where
I looked a total idiot. - Yeah, I mean, you did have a GoPro wrapped around your waist. - You looked pretty dumb,
(laughing) but I mean, it was also cool to be there. Oh yeah.
(laughing) - Okay, well--
- Thanks, Biscuits! Slash Bishop. - Yeah.
- We bonded. - And Eric and everyone who
made that dream possible. - And horses everywhere! - [Stevie] Yeah, sure. - The whole equine nation.
- The equine community. - Okay, well, that's all I
have, cheesy bread and horses. - [Rhett] That's more than enough. - So now it's time for our final line. - [All Three] Until next LTAT, keep on BYMB! (rhythmic electronic music)
Worth it just for Link calling the horse Biscuits instead of Bishop.
I thought this was a wonderful episode.
THE CAR RIDE
Definitely one of the best LTATs
This was great. Everything about the horse excursion was fantastic.
Is it too late for Stevie and Rhett to adopt me as their kid? I'm pretty sure I'm older than Stevie but she was a pro with Link as a kid so I think it'll be fine.
This was awesome. I hope they go on more surprise adventures!
Love the opening with the stick banging; Stevie's impromptu response was great!
Funniest quote:
"Do you need a cold compress for your tallywhacker?"
I’ve been wondering when Link was finally going to get to ride a horse. When he took off the blindfold, saw the horse, and then dabbed away happy tears from his eyes, it got me right in the feels. I hope he had an absolutely fantastic day. 🥰
What a great episode! Link is a goddamn treasure
