Today we ask
the age old question. - Will it birthday cake?
- Let's talk about that. <i> ( music playing )</i> Good mythical morning. Today is a very special day
because we are celebrating
our 1,300th episode. - What? 1,300 of these.
- Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo. Yeah! In honor of this
milestone, we're going to blow out
1,300 candles on a cake-- - Is that possible?
- I don't know. We'll find out. And after that,
we're going to read some of your
complaints about our show because nothing brightens my day
more that your critical comments about the way we do things
around here. But first, let's kick this
celebration off with some cake. Specifically, the kinda cake
that's created to celebrate
the births of something. - That's called a birthday cake,
Rhett.
- Birthday cake. Because 1,300 episodes ago,
this show was born. Wah! Wah! Wah! But, of course, these will not
be your typical birthday cakes. It's time for... <i> ( noisemaker sounding )</i> So your typical birthday cake
consists of mixing eggs, sugar,
flour, baking powder, and milk,
and baking that. Well, we've kept all those
base ingredients in a cake. We just added in our own
unique ingredients, and then baked that
into it and decorated it. And, in honor of this being
our 1,300th episode, we were lucky enough
to have some of our friends send in
their video challenges of what cakes they wanted
to see us eat. After today, some of these
people may no longer be
our friends. - Yes.
- First recommendation
comes from our friend Andrew from Binging with Babish.
Let's take a look. Hey, Rhett and Link,
Babish here. Just wanted to congratulate you
on 1,300 episodes. That is so many episodes,
it can't be real. And speaking of things
that can't be real, I would love to see you guys
make and eat a fictional cake. And what could be more fictional
than one of the icons of your
show, Chia Lincoln? I'd love to make and eat
this cake myself, but why would I ever do that
when you could do it?
Bon appetit. He went way back.
Some of you know this,
some of you might not. But the show that started
before "Good Mythical Morning" <i>was "Good Morning, Chia
Lincoln," where we did a show</i> <i>as long as a Chia Lincoln
survives, so this is--</i> this is about the roots
of the show. And the roots
of chia seeds. Oh, and I think there's
probably roots in this. Or something that tastes worse.
Chia seeds, potter's soil... - Mmm. Ooh. Yes.
- Potter's clay, radish sprouts, - wheat grass, tree branch
candles...
- Mm-hmm. And of course, Chia Lincoln
with some fake moss on here, So what we're calling this,
the Ch-Ch-Ch-Chia cake. Make a wish! - Or Cakeraham Lincoln.
- That works as well. Oh, gosh.
This is where we're starting because we got people
to challenge us. - Oh, gosh. It's so thick.
- Friends. Oh, wow.
There's a darkness in there. I'm gonna try to add
some green sprig like this. Just get a little garnish. Both:
Dink it. And sink it. Oh, man,
when I was a child... - I had to mow my own grass.
- Yeah? And my dad would make me
bag up the grass and dump it
across the street. - And one day...
- Yeah? ...I was a curious little kid.
I was like, "I wonder what that
would taste like?" - Yeah?
- Tastes exactly like this. - ( laughter )
- Yeah. Oh, my goodness. - Of course, I spit that out.
- We're not gonna do that here. - No.
- What would Babish think? ( gulps )
We didn't make it to 1,300
episodes by not eating dirt. ( chuckles )
But will it birthday cake? Both:<i>
No!</i> - All: Hello!
- Hey, Rhett and Link, it's Sorted Food off
of London, England. Now, we hear you've done
an amazing thing and made it
to 1,300 episodes. - Man: Whoo!
- Well done, you. Now, 1,300 sounds awesome because it's like
a baker's dozen times 100, so we thought, "Why not bake
a cake in celebration, but rather than it be
a delicious cake, how about one
with UK ingredients, a black and white
pudding cake?" Yeah, when Ben says "pudding,"
don't get excited, this is definitely not
an American pudding, this is a British pudding
and more of a sausage. Yeah, black pudding
is blood sausage and white pudding
is pork fat. So, if you could knock up a cake
using those two, that'll be fantastic. Also, feel free to add in
a little bit more blood, little bit more fat,
you know, - that would be terrific.
- Ad lib. - "Knock up a cake,"
is that what he said?
- Yeah, they did say that. - Okay.
- I tried to ignore it. You
know, with those accents... It depends on
how much we love it. ...it feels like
they can just talk you into eating anything,
you know? They made this
sound beautiful, but, guys, I know
it's not beautiful because white pudding,
like you said, - is pork fat sausage...
- Okay. ...which was blended and sliced,
and we've got black pudding, or blood sausage,
blended and sliced. And then we did
what they said? We added extra pork fat and extra pork blood. We call this
"The United Cake-dom." It's gonna be divided
'cause I'm 'bout to slice it. No, you're not. Okay. - Okay.
- I'll take care of that. And... oh, wow,
this sucker's thick. Ooh. Go on the dark side too? Yeah. ( groans ) All right, now... You can use that
dilly dally to get that out. Blood out to
the people. ♪ Happy birthday to us ♪ It's, you know, it still
doesn't look too horrific. Oh, yes it does. I see glumps and clumps
in there. Oh, make a wish. Make the other half
of the wish. - Wow.
- Ooh, wow. Was there a projectile
in that? Uh, no. I should enter
the world records book. Man, breakfast of champs. Golly. "Golly," he says. Oh. I'm getting some white
and some black. Okay, I'ma go right here. ♪ The cake is white ♪ Both:
♪ The cake is black ♪ ♪ Together we regret every
decision we've ever made ♪ Yep, didn't have to rhyme. - Dink it.
- Ew. And... sink it. ( gags ) It's very rich. It's very iron-y. Man, you could
live off this cake for a very, very long time. It is so dense
with nutrients. Do you wanna knock it up? No, I'd rather
keep my distance. Oh, gosh. I'd rather keep my distance
from this cake. There's something
on my tongue that I think is like,
it's like there's fat - enveloping my tongue...
- Yeah. - ...now that I've bit into it.
- It's creating a coating - all inside my mouth.
- In my mouth, yeah. It's actually not
gonna be difficult for me to get down. - 'Cause of the lube.
- Yeah. It's gonna slip right down. 'Cause I was expecting
a blood taste and it's not necessarily
a blood taste 'cause something about
"saus-ifying" the blood, "sausage-ifying"
makes it doable. Ah! Got it down.
Did you get it down? Take that, Sorted Food! Ah! Link:<i>
Will it birthday cake?</i> Both:<i>
No!</i> 'Sup, Rhett and Link,
it's Harley. I wanna say congratulations
and mazel tov on 1,300 episodes. What you guys should do is you guys should
make something specific to both of you. You know how
you're both pretty, with your shiny,
little, pretty faces and you're beautiful
wavy hair? You guys should
make a makeup cake. A cake made out of makeup. A pretty cake
for pretty boys. Okay, I love you guys,
enjoy that makeup cake. How creative,
Harley, thank you. Oh, gosh, blow it out! Ugh! Wow. - Freakin'... makeup cake!
- Those are, like... eyeliner candles
that just burnt to a crisp. Look at this thing. Give it a rotation for
the mythical beasts to see. That is the GMM logo
on a compact. Look at that, guys. There's 20 types
of eye shadows in this, three types of foundations,
12 different types of bronzer, baked makeup,
makeup brushes, lipstick. All ingredients
are vegan and edible in very small quantities,
I assume, like as a by-product
of applying it. I feel like we should
apply this before we... Okay, yeah. You know, I wanna look
"perty" when I eat my cake. Mm-hmm. Put that back in there
'cause I like it in there. - 'Cause why not?
- All right. - Where's my knife?
- I got it. It's my knife now. Okay. Oh, gosh,
this one's thick too. Everything's so much... Hefty, man. ...thicker than
normal cakes. Love a big ole slice-y. Oh, goodness, gracious! Now pull that out
towards the peeps. Okay.
You getting it? Oh, you're really grunting. Yeah, you gotta, like,
saw off the bottom. Okay. Here we go,
here we go. Ooh, man. Look at that. Doesn't that
look appetizing? - Ew.
- Look at that, Link. I thought the soil
from earlier was nasty, but this looks like processed
version of the same thing. ( sniffs ) - Smells okay.
- It doesn't smell bad at all. Dink it... and sink it. - Ooh, that's tough.
- Yeah. Your mouth knows. Your mouth is
designed to know. Yeah, it tells the brain... To not continue to eat. To shut down the throat
and the stomach. - This is actually the best one.
- Yeah. Which isn't saying
much at all. No, but I feel like, if any of 'em are gonna cake,
it's this one. Come on, let's be real, <i> makeup,
will it birthday cake?</i> Both:<i>
No!</i> Hey, what's up, Rhett and Link?
Duff here. Hey, guys, congratulations
on 1,300 episodes, that is amazing. All right, look, you guys know
that I'm the ace of cakes and I'm the master of all
cakes incredible, right? And you guys are the aces
of weird and disgusting food. So I was thinking
we should take what I do and take what you do
and combine them together to make something insane. Here's the idea, let's make a birth cake out of an actual
cow placenta. So you gotta make a cake
out of a placenta. Okay, Duff,
you demented fool... we have one-upped
your idea. This isn't
just cow placenta, we've created the birth cake,
as you requested, in the shape of a female
reproductive system, so this is also
an educational segment. Link:
And this brown stuff is cow... Yeah, so there's
deer placenta mixed in because why not go for deer
when you've already got cow? Yes, cow placenta is draped
over the top of this. We've got pork blood
for decoration and also pig uterus because what's a birth cake
without a little pig uterus? Let's make a wish, I'm gonna
make this one out loud, I wish I didn't
have to eat this. Whoo! Me neither. Whoo! Oh, gosh. Well, I mean, I gotta
get a little bit of this. That's too much fondant,
you gotta go to the middle. I'm getting it. And then I'm gonna add
a little placenta. This show has done
amazing things for us. And it's also
done this to us. I'm gonna have to
use the scalpel... to peel off a little bit
of placenta. Golly! Guys, this is...
ugh, this is so wrong. - Okay.
- Ugh. Oh, you're using the-- Ooh, yeah, give me a little. You want a little bit? Yeah, give me
a little, little, little. Oh, mine's got
some blood on it. All right, so I've got
some on the end of mine. There's yours. ( sighs ) ( sighs deeply ) Dink it. - Congratulations, Rhett.
- Yeah, congratulations
to you, man. - Boy, you know
you've made it...
- Yeah, look at us. - ...when you're
eating placenta.
- Living the dream! Whoo! Golly... Oh! Just keep chewing
and stop thinking. I see him... Ugh! ...laughing at us. If we don't
get this down, we won't be able to tell
the people if it cakes. Mm-hmm! This isn't about us, this is about you. Oh! - It's so chewy.
- I did it! I ate cow placenta,
and deer placenta, and pig uterus! - Hi, Mom!
- ( gags ) Aren't you proud? I did it again, Mom! ( gags ) Link's not doing
so well, Mom! I got it, Rhett's mom! Hey! - Where is she?
- Oh, ow! - Are you over there?
- Ow, you just... you almost cut
my finger off. On what? You put
the chairs together. - Oh, sorry.
- Ah! - Hey, Rhett's mom!
- Hey! I got it down. Go out
into the living room and tell Dad
what happened. I know he doesn't watch
and you tell him. Tell him you're proud. Cow "placlenta." "Cow 'placlenta.'" Link:<i>
Will it birthday cake?</i> Both:<i>
No!</i> Hi, Rhett and Link,
it's Sean Evans from First We Feast. Congratulations
on 1,300 episodes, what an incredible milestone. And to celebrate,
I would be so honored if you guys ate a cake
inspired by one of my great passions
in life, spice. And not just any spice, I want this cake
so packed full of spice that one bite
will make you go blind. I'm talking jalapeños,
habaneros, Carolina Reapers. You guys know the drill. Cheers, Rhett and Link. 1,300 episodes, salute. But I have to know,
Carolina Reapers, will it cake? Sean. Sean? We ain't friends. I know what I told you, but it's off,
the friendship is off. Well, we haven't
eaten it yet. What, to make us go blind? Okay, here it is, Sean! - Thank you.
- ( blowing ) Make a wish
that we don't go blind. This thing is chock-full
of peppers, guys. Let me list them all off,
ghost pepper, scorpion pepper,
habanero pepper, Japanese hot pepper,
jalapeño peppers, dried Nora Chiles, Chiltepin chilies,
bird's eye chilies aji panca chilies, Costeno rojo-- I took
French, sorry-- chilies, aji amarillo chilies,
cascabel chilies, pasilla de Oaxaca
chilies, and, of course,
our nemesis, the Carolina Reaper. You should be like
a pepper announcer. You know, like, when
you get something
at a Mexican restaurant, you're like,
"What's in this?", and you come up
to the table, you don't make guacamole, you just slightly mispronounce
all the peppers
that are in there. - Oh, thanks for
making me laugh.
- ( Rhett laughs ) Oh, I feel I'm on
the verge of torture. Look at that thing, man. Look at that,
look at that cross-section. And then there's pepper
on the outside as well. So I'm coming here
grabbing. You're setting the bar. I feel like
that's aggressive. It may look
small to you... - Hey, man, hey, hey, hey...
- ...who aren't about
to eat it... - ...1,300, man.
- 1,300. Go big or go home. I know the route home, it's this way. My mom is watching
right there in that camera, that's where she watches. She has a live feed
of just that camera - 'cause it's my camera.
- Really? - Yeah.
- And she gets mad... She's like,
"I like your profile, it reminds me of
my daddy." - Oh, gosh.
- Hey, Mom. - I got...
- Of course,
when I shaved my beard and I sent her
a picture, she just texted back,
"Poor baby." Oh, gosh, yeah. And, you know what? Even with the beard, I think we're both
about to be poor babies. - Okay.
- Dink it. And sink it. Oh, I can taste that
it's about to hit hard. - Uh-oh.
- There it is. ( exhales slowly ) Uh-uh. I don't wanna
swallow it, I'm too afraid. Swallow it, you can do it! You can do it! Overcome it! - Mm.
- I'm getting... I'm getting weirdness
right here. - ( hiccups )
- Oh, you got the hiccups? I'm not getting the hiccups. I think the cake
took the hiccup away from me. - There's something about...
- It's going up
the back of my head. ...the slight
sweetness of the... It helps,
it does help. ...of the icing, like, made it
a little bit more uniform and not quite as biting
as it would be
if it was a direct pepper. This is nothing like
eating the whole pepper. Thank goodness. I've got all
the evidence that I need to answer the question. <i> Carolina Reaper
and assorted peppers,</i> <i> will it birthday cake?</i> - Link:<i> Yes. </i>
- Rhett:<i> Yes?</i> Congratulations
to you, Rhett. Congratulations
to you too. Congratulations to us.
You're great. - You're great.
- We're both great. No, no, I'm the greatest. What? ( laughter ) I was trying to,
'cause it's 1,300, - I was like...
- No, that's how it starts. - Oh.
- Yeah. - I'm the greatest.
- No, but I was changing it, I was like,
"No, you're the greatest." Oh, no,
you're the greatest. - No, we're both great.
- We're both great. And you're great. All right, stick around because
we're not done with the cake, we're about to blow out
1,300 candles. <i> We couldn't have
done it without you.</i> <i> And to thank you

The far right is The Last Dab: Carolina Reaper edition; and the far left is the Chocolate Pow Pow, which is made up of grounded-up, dried Chocolate Carolina Reapers.
On the far left and far right. Left looks like an extract and the right looks like a special version of the Last Dab. Thoughts?
