- Well dip me in a fryer
and call me crazy fair food. - Let's talk about that. (groovy electronic music) Good Mythical Summer. - This is our last week of the
Good Mythical Summer episodes so we got an episode right
now, Wednesday and Friday. - Then we're gonna take a short break and we'll be back with
season 16 on August 26th. - And as you've probably
heard, our new novel, "The Lost Causes of Bleak Creek" comes out on October 29th. It's a thriller, it's funny, and since it's so special to us, we've developed a very special live event around its release. - Yes we have crafted
an intimate experience, unlike any of our previous
tours so we can all celebrate this milestone together. We're not only gonna be
reading from the book but we'll also be
bringing the back stories from our childhood to life by premiering a very special documentary. Get all the info at BleakCreek.com. - Yeah we're only doing
this for six nights in six cities and then we're
not gonna do it anymore. Boston, New York, Chicago,
Dallas-Fort Worth, Winston Salem, and Los Angeles, and all tickets include the
book so they're a great deal, it's just a few more
bucks than the cover price of the actual book plus
VIPs get a meet and greet and a signed book. - Mythical Society members get
first dibs on tickets today and then they go on sale
for everybody on Wednesday. Seating is limited so head over to BleakCreek.com to get 'em. - Thank you for celebrating
the novel along with us. - Yes.
- It's gonna be a good time and you know what else is a good time? The state fair.
- Yes. - But there's more to the state
fair than just showing off your large cabbages and
makin' out on the Gravitron which I do not recommend. - Yes my favorite thing
about the state fair is the incredibly inventive food choices. All across America, fair
vendors are comin' up with some straight up weird stuff to empty my wallet and fill my belly. It's time for ♪ Where in America Do These
State Fair Foods Come From? ♪ - Okay so we're gonna
be served a crazy food that originated at a state
fair somewhere in America and try to guess what
state it was birthed in. We are going to indicate our
guess by throwing a dart-- (Chase mutters) At (chuckles), was that English? - Yeah that was--
(Rhett speaks gibberish) (Link speaks gibberish) (Chase laughs) - [Rhett] That's a map of America. - Yeah it's--
- Look at that. That's never happened before, guys. - Look at that. Chase is gonna measure the distance between the correct answer and the dart. Just like in golf, the
lower the score, the better. - And you can be using
inches because it's America. (Rhett chuckles)
- Really? - Yeah he is. Okay so Link, you have a unique
ability to lose this game so you're gonna get a
very special break in case of emergency dart called the squart. It's a squirt gun, chill,
filled with chilled. - Chilled, is it called--
- Cherry lemonade. I don't know if it's chilled or not but it's filled with cherry lemonade. And of course the winner gets
some deep fried Pepto-Bismol. That's what the winner gets? In Good Mythical More, let's play. (upbeat vocal music) This is a burger with
some sort of unspecified-- - [Link] What is that? - [Rhett] Is that just, oh it's cold. - This is frozen ice cream
on a freakin' burger. - It's fried ice cream. - I meant to say fried ice cream but-- - Like from Chi Chi's.
- I said frozen. - All right so you just--
- All ice cream is preferably frozen. - Just squish it and dish it, man. I'm not gonna be dinking with you today because you're a little under
the weather so I'm sorry. - That's an understatement. - Keep your dinks to yourself. - I don't even know if I
can taste with this cold. Oh--
- What? I like it. - It forced me to put
my teeth in ice cream. - It's really not that big of a deal. - It hurts bad, man. You don't have the teeth
sensitivities that I do. - It's all in the teeth, huh? - There's nothing like the taste of onions and vanilla ice cream together. I mean, that's not a good idea, man. You actually like it? - I like the sensation
of the, first of all, you put cheese on a burger,
it's a dairy product. Why can't you put ice cream on a burger? - It's freezing. - The real question is where is this from and I'm gonna go first
since I won last time. - Okay.
- And I'm just gonna go with the fact that
Vermont is a dairy area, otherwise known as a dairea, and it's also where
Ben and Jerry are from. Now keep in mind, if I
miss, you get automatically, well usually it's 50
centimeters so whatever the inch equivalent of 50
centimeters is is what-- - 50 inches. - Okay so I'm going for
Vermont but I'm gonna go a little bit left just so I don't miss. Oh ho ho, yeah, Vermont! - Dang son. Now last time in Good Mythical More after we played the dart game, you inadvertently taught
me how to throw darts. - Yeah I regret it every day.
- By saying, remember just point at where
you want to go after the dart 'cause I was like (moans). So I feel like I'm a good darter now. - Okay we'll find out. - I think it's Minnesota. - Okay.
- A lot of dairy up there. - [Rhett] Yeah it's a dairea as well. - [Link] Oh, you see, I was close. - Yeah you were. Okay what do we got here? - [Stevie] Okay boys,
that was fried ice cream on a cheeseburger as Link
so eloquently stated. But it was cornflake and
cinnamon coated ice cream to be exact.
- Really? - [Stevie] This dish won fourth place in the People's Choice Burger Awards at the state fair in Florida. - What? Florida? They'll do anything down there. - All right, Rhett, you had 19 and Link, you had 21 and a half. - Oh.
- Oh. I actually thought I was closer. - Well--
- I'm not. Think again friend. (upbeat vocal music) - All right we've got
some sort of fried nugget with some sort of dip on it. - [Rhett] What is that? - That's a piece of chicken thigh. - No I believe that's a reptile. - What? No it's another type of bird. It's bird meat. - That's not a bird. That bird had an infection
if that's a bird. - I can't taste anything
with this head cold, man. - Well I mean it may be a bird. - Tell me how it tastes. - Not like a bird. (chuckles) It doesn't taste like a bird. It tastes like it might be a testicle. Or it might be a reptile. I get my testicles and my
reptiles mixed up all the time. - You know what, we've eaten-- - Oh look at that, look at that. - [Link] We've eaten Rocky
Mountain spotted oysters. - [Rhett] It's a teste, man. - I don't think spotted is part of it. These are Rocky Mountain oysters. - But Colorado is not a choice. But do you think that the
inclinations of Colorado-runs makes it down to New Mexico and Arizona? I think so, I mean they share a border. You ever stood in all four states? You could do that. - So do you agree that these
are Rocky Mountain oysters? - Don't point that at my face, man. - What do you want me to do,
point my finger, that's rude. - I think that they're testes, yeah. New Mexico or Arizona, that's all I got. I'm just gonna aim in between
'em and see what happens. Or hit Wyoming. - [Link] Dang it, see
Wyoming was my answer. - (laughs) I knew that. - 'Cause I think the Rocky
Mountains are up there. - They are for sure.
- Right. But I mean why would
you wanna have something that pokes fun of your mountains? This could be something
that has nothing to do, it's like, all the way
from the Rocky Mountains, over here in North Kakalaka. - Our people wouldn't do this kinda thing. - It's like exotic. They eat Rocky Mountain
oysters all the time in the Rocky Mountains. - These are not bad.
- I think your luck has sent me directly--
- But they're a little too thick.
- On the right answer. So I'm going for Wyoming as well. - A little too much. (Link groans) Okay well. - I feel like my aim is better than it was but just not as good
as your accidental aim. - Right, that's true,
that's a good way to put it. What do we got here? - [Stevie] Okay these
are called lamb fries which are seasoned, breaded,
deep-fried lamb testicles. - Yeah.
- Lamb nuts? - [Stevie] I've never
said testicles like that. Served with a dill sauce,
lamb fries are served at the Holy Land Food Stand
where its workers wear shirts that say go nuts, try the lamb nuts. They're served at the
state fair in Minnesota. - Oh Link, you got closer. - Yes.
- You're closer to Minnesota. - Lamb nuts.
- Holy land, what? - All right Link had
seven and Rhett had 11. - Oh, Link you pulled ahead. ♪ These nuts ♪ (upbeat vocal music) It's like a Lunchable.
- It's got a lot of, oh there's something in this, look. There's something on the bottom. - [Link] Is it corn bread? - [Rhett] I think it's more,
I think this is chicken soup. - Oh my gosh.
- Inside of corn bread. - [Link] Oh my goodness. - Yeah this is chicken, basically-- - This is freakin' brilliant. - Like chicken and
dumplings with a corn bread. - Wow, that is amazing. I feel like I could be
anywhere in America. I feel like this needs
to be in a cooler region. I don't think we're down
there in the southwest. I think this is Michigan. - [Rhett] Hmm. - [Link] Michigan. I'm just a little weak.
- You split the difference. You split the difference
between that and North Carolina. I wanna say Nebraska because of the corn but I don't know if, corn
bread is such a southern thing but corn is such a Nebraskan thing. - [Link] Mm. - I'm gonna put that in the shower thoughts thread on Reddit. (crew laughs) - It's not gonna get much traction. - I'm gonna go for Nebraska, why not? Or there. Okay. - [Stevie] Okay, you just
enjoyed some twankies which are hollowed out
corn bread cakes stuffed with Tex-Mex chicken
white bean chili served with corn bread fries. - White bean chili. - [Stevie] The twanky was
a finalist in the 2018 savory category at the Texas State Fair. - Ah, I didn't see the beans
and I didn't taste the Tex-Mex. - I don't see any beans now. - I feel like a loser. - All right Link had 18 and Rhett had 11. - You lucky dog. - It's a tight race. We're so wrong and so right. (upbeat vocal music) Link, this is a freaking donut. - Glazed donut.
- Sloppy Joe. - [Link] And there's some cheese on there. - [Rhett] There's cheese on it. - Sloppy Joe doesn't have to have cheese but if your mama really loves ya, (chuckles) you're gonna get that cheese. - I was gonna think that it
was too sweet but it's not. It's incredible. - Wow it really blends beautifully. - What is the smartest state? - Oh gosh. - What state has the
wherewithal to come up with something so
ingenious, so satisfying. I feel like this is a state
where there's factories, makin' stuff, they're
still manufacturing things. - You thinking Michigan? - I feel like this is a state
that I can five a high five because it's shaped
like a hand so I can say congratulations, Michican for having the best idea America's ever had. - [Link] Oh he hit the bumper car. And this is a fun-lovin',
hold nothing back dish. And as we all know ♪ California knows how to party ♪ (Rhett, Link and crew chuckling) - You almost didn't get that out. It almost just stopped in the middle. - No, what's going on
with my head these days, it's like I can talk like ♪ California knows how to party ♪ - (chuckles) Oh God. Wow, if you're right, you
are gonna pull way ahead. - This is for Tupac. Right there, Catalina. - [Rhett] You hit one
of the channel islands. (crew laughing) - [Stevie] Okay this isn't
just a donut Sloppy Joe, it's a Krispy Kreme Sloppy Joe. The director of corporate communications at Krispy Kreme said the
sandwich is in no way, quote, created, endorsed or
marketed by the company but it was created at
the Chicken Charlie booth at the San Diego County Fair. (Rhett yells) ♪ And the city of San Diego ♪ - Oh.
(Link chuckles) - (groans) Wow Link, you
just pulled way ahead. - Yeah buddy. - Yeah Link, you had three
and Rhett you had 30. - Oh. (chuckles) Oh gosh.
- Quite a delta and I'm not talkin' about the airlines. (Rhett groans) (upbeat vocal music) - Okay.
- The profile of this is strangely familiar to me. - [Rhett] I feel like you've
enjoyed one of these before but it wasn't covered in chocolate. - This is a scorpion. - I'm just gonna bite a claw off and chew. Oh. - Whoa, the pop. (crew laughing) - As we've discovered before though, chocolate does a world to help anything that you need to get in your gullet. (Link coughs) I think it's okay. - If you focus on the chocolate part. - I did. - I'm in the lead. I've taken quite a large lead. And I still have my squirt blaster here. You know what, I'm feeling
the California love. I'm gonna relinquish the blaster. - I don't know if I want it.
- And you know what. (Rhett laughs)
- Yeah you don't have to use it. I'm saying that I'm not gonna use it. This is obviously a southwest situation. - Right so I mean at this point it's like, it's gotta be Arizona or New Mexico. - I'm gonna split the difference
between zone of Arizona. I'm gonna split the
difference with Mexico. New. All righty. Okay Rhett. - Okay I'll make a deal with you. If I hit in the very
center of the bull's eye of the state that it
is with my squirt gun. (chuckles) Or my dart, will you give me the win? - Yes. - Dart though not squirt gun. - Dart.
- Okay. - If you dart it right in the
middle of the correct state. - Okay.
- You win. - All right I'm gonna go for Arizona. Ah (laughs), Nevada. - [Link] A little north. - Okay what do we got?
- Okay you were correct. That was a chocolate
covered scorpion on a stick. The chef du jour booth that
first sold this creation recommends you eat the scorpion by starting with the head first. - Yeah.
- And they're sold at the state fair in Arizona. - Oh man.
- Arizona knows how to party-- - Dang.
- As well. - All right Link well you know what. We don't even really need to
measure but just so you can see how badly you beat me this time, Chase, what are the final measurements? - Link had four and a half
and Rhett had six and a half. - See, all we had to do
this whole time was keep it in my home vicinity. - That's right.
- This country. - Congratulations for
winning the American version of our international
game, Link. (chuckles) You get to enjoy some
deep-fried Pepto-Bismol in Good Mythical More, you lucky dog. - The one time I win. - (chuckles) Thanks for liking,
commenting and subscribing. - You know what time it is. - Hi I'm Kailyn, I'm here to see Rhett and Link at the North Carolina State Fair. It's time to spin the
Wheel of Mythicality. - Woo! - Let's do it. - Click the top link to watch us try the funnel cake bacon cheeseburger from the Texas State Fair
in Good Mythical More. - And to find out where the Wheel of Mythicality's gonna land. - [Rhett] We're commemorating
our creative promise to each other with a blood
oath tee and long sleeve at Mythical.com.
As a Minnesotan who goes to the State Fair every year I a) didn’t know that these existed, b) am disappointed that THIS was the food used to represent our glorious State Fair, and c) can’t believe that it was something that wasn’t on a stick.
I think I'll visit the California State Fair next time around ...
I want that sloppy joe so bad. I think i might make it home made.
Fair foods are a gift from the gods. They may give you diabetes, but I'll be damned if they aren't delicious.
...that’s Rhett’s fake beard. Undeniable.
