Man vs. Beast

Can we beat pets at their own game? Let's talk about that. Good Mythical Morning. I don't mean to brag, but I think it's safe to say that. the two of us are smarter than just about any animal. But what about whales? Whales are very intelligent. Yeah, but I think if we were like playing a trivia. game against whales, we would still probably win. Okay, so we assume we could beat animals at trivia.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. But how well would we do if the competition. was more about.... Animal things? Let's find out. It is time for We Fought a Zoo, AKA beating. pets at their own game. Welcome to the Zoological Zone. Okay, boys. Today you're going to be competing against a series of. animals to see if you can beat them at what they're best at. Your first competitor is a dog and not just any dog.

Please welcome Mythical Crew member Katrina and her dog, Mia. We love Mia. We love Katrina. Mia is in the office a lot. What kind of dog is Mia? Uh, Chihuahua Pit Bull. Ooh, Chihuahua pitbull. So a little bit dangerous. Yeah, she's kind of crazy. She's the sweetest. Can I just--, can I--. Now let's not do butt to camera. It's not a cat. Can I log a complaint? Too cute. Uh, I did not know that Link would be dressed.

as a zookeeper today. And I feel like that is an unfair advantage. Well, I, I, I thought I was more like a reconnaissance. mission type guy. Okay. Well that's a, you may feel that way in your mind. Yeah, but now I am a zookeeper. Right. And I'm fighting a zoo. Look, look how ready Mia is for something that, what, we have to do after. Yeah, we're gonna, we're gonna start off, uh, you know, we're gonna ease you into it with this first challenge. Okay. So we wanna see, can you tilt your head.

quizzically like Mia can. So let's go ahead and set Mia up for a head tilt. Okay. I think we've got some nice little Mia head tilts. You saw the--. Good job, Mia. The subtlety, um, the, the, the, you know, what's. needed there, so, um, Rhett, you are going to be our first.

head tilter here, if you could please get in position. Okay. Here come the sounds. I think you can still blink. Dogs do blink. Okay. I feel like we're, we've captured it. Uh, that was intense. It was, did you see her eyes?

That was more intense than I thought Mia did. Okay, Link. Let's see what you got. Okay. Oh, hello. Mia, come. Okay. Let's, mm-hmm. That's not how she was sitting. I don't remember that.

Okay. Okay. None of that happened. Now we are going to do something fancy, and we're. going to do a side by side playback of all three of you, and you're going to score each other on a scale of one to 10. Well, Mia's not going to score anybody, but. you know what I mean. Okay. Let's start with Rhett here. Okay.

I mean, you're tilting the right direction. She did not blink. That's why I did not blink. She not blinking? No, she didn't blink once. Oh, come on. Well look at the, um, look, the body placement. is near perfect. Posture's great. The arch? The, the head movement, there's a lot going for this, that, that is really working. I'm just saying. Just give him above five. Yeah, there's just a horror movie. nature to the Rhett side. That's just me. Yeah. So I'm gonna land you at a solid, solid and generous.....

Seven. Oh, thank you. Okay, let's take a look at Link next. Okay. We got jerky head movements. Uh, that's just because my hair, it feels you. feel concerned more than inquisitive. But I, I do seem like I'm more of a dog than a man. Right? Well, speak for yourself, man.

Come on now, I mean. It's that dog in me. I would, I would think this was a man if I saw. it, I think. But the way that I acted, even if you never saw. Mia, you would know that I'm being a dog. Uh, with you, it was like, okay, this is a, this is a creepy door stop. Okay, well, uh. My movements are a little herky jerky. You do seem inquisitive. Uh, posture's nice. Uh, you know what, I'm gonna reciprocate the seven.

Oh, seriously? Mm-hmm. But Stevie, who do you think did better? You can award one extra point. I, I would like to keep that extra point for. the later challenges. Okay. Because as I said, this is just an ease in, uh. Mia, you did so good. Yeah, Mia won, in my opinion, uh, for this, for this collective round. But we're gonna take it up a notch because. Mia has another trick. Oh, another trick. That, I mean, an actual trick that she'd like to demonstrate here.

Good girl. Okay. Head stay. Stay. Stay. Okay. Oh, dang. What? What? That was magic. That was magic. Okay. So you understand the task ahead for you both, then. Link, uh, I think you should go first.

Sit stay. You wanna do head stay? You wanna do head stay? I feel like the glasses make it a little easier to balance, so I'm gonna take 'em off. What? You wanna do head stay? Stay. Stay.

Stay. Stay. Stay. Okay. That's hard. That's hard. Okay. Okay. Okay. I think I got a whiplash. You have another chance. All right. Gimme two tries. I'll give you two tries. You wanna do it head stay? Yes. Yes. I want, I want to do head stay. Stay, stay, stay, stay.

Okay. Ugggghhhh. O for two. Okay. But the technique was good. I'm only gonna give you two tries as well. That's a hard one, man. Yeah. I feel like I learned things by watching you. Channel the dog in you. You wanna do head stay, you wanna do, oh, you. wanna do head stay? Stop. You want? No, not arms. Not, no. Not shake, head stay.

Hey, head stay. You wanna do head stay? I mean what part of your nose? Stay, stay, stay. Okay. Mia, come. Okay. One more time.

Where is it? Mia, come. Okay, come on. Sorry, Mia. Come on. You want your head stay? No, not arms. Head stay, head. Stay. Stay. Stay. Okay.

[Crew laughing]. [Crew clapping]. Well, you did it. I mean, you got the treat, but the. Pretty, pretty good treat. We gotta look at the tail of the tape. Okay. Let's start with Link. Okay. Good form. I don't like how the, okay. The bone is covering my left eye, so it looks weird.

Now I will say you did a very, very good attempt and. a very similar head shake. Yeah. When you tried to get it. Yeah. 'cause I noticed that she tried to drop it to. the side of the nose. She moves her head outta the way and then comes. back and grabs it with the, could do like a circular. motion, which I nailed that. I must say. I think it means, I think it basically doesn't work. if you don't have a snout. You have to have a protruding mouth in order. for that technique to work. Yeah but you can just wrap around. Well, I will say you look a little too happy. Little too happy to begin with.

See that? I mean, you know that she's happy 'cause there's a. freaking treat on her snozz. Well, I know, but you just know it. You don't see it. You don't see the happiness. What do you gimme on a scale of one to 10? You did not catch it. I didn't catch it. But you, the technique, grabbing technique was almost. perfect, but you were smiling a little too much so you. didn't catch it. Smiling too much. So I'll give you an eight. Wow. Okay. Alright, let me see your interpretation. I mean, look at you.

You were in a completely different position. Well, like, I mean, I feel like this is a little unfair. to just isolate this part. There was, there was more. You were very results oriented. There was more. So you ate the treat. Yep. And by the way, how was it? It very peanut buttery. Is that right? It actually was not bad. It was very dry. But it was not bad. So you, you definitely get points. I mean, without that beard net to catch it.

Yeah, you would've, you would've been toast, dude. Because there's no chin there to catch it. It would just go right through. Like what in the world, dude. I mean, but you gotta remember the other parts of this. I mean, at one point. How many, how many points do you get for succeeding? Uh, at least--. Despite the exercise. At least nine probably. I think you get, I mean. I'm gonna give you five for that, but. Okay. Gentleman's agreement. Nothing. I can't give you points for anything else. Oh, come on. So I'm giving you five points.

Okay. I'll take it. Um, okay. Let's take things up, but not shall we. Please welcome our next animal competitor. It's Freddy, the bearded dragon. Hello, Freddy. And please, Yeah. Please direct your attention to Freddy. Not the tax demised, uh, version of Freddy. that is on our shelf. Oh, crap. And hopefully. Sorry, Freddy. Hopefully Freddy will not hear that.

I, I mean, oh, he's looking at you now. Okay, Chase. With the right eye. I'm gonna invite you to come on in, um, because Rhett and Link, your task is fairly easy I think for the two of you. because it's all eating based. We're gonna watch Freddy eat, and then I want. you to eat like Freddy. Oh, that's how I stare at a plate full of spaghetti. Before I get into it. Now he's looking at you, he feels like you're making fun of him.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp. Wow. Well look at that. He's a smacker. Okay, Rhett, why don't you, uh, show us what you got first. Lizard up, buddy. Okay. First of all, I don't have a rock. sculpture, uh, to lean on. So Link, could you be that for me, please? Just be a rock. Are you gonna be that for me? Yeah. I'll be that for you. I'll be a big rock for you. But then I, okay.

I don't know. Something like, it's multiple levels. How's that? [Crew]: Ew. What is happening?

What? What was that? What is that? What is that? Oh, a gummy worm. Good god. Okay. You done? Mm-hmm. Let's see. Let me. If I do one of these, I don't know.

Yeah. Uhhuh. Thank you. Scene. Scene. That's what I said. Okay. Oh, that gummy worm tastes good. Yeah. Especially when you get as much as I did. A lot better than a mealworm. I got an apple size piece of that. Alright.

Not a lot of dimensionality to performance from the lizard. No. Or dragon, sorry. Okay. Let's see Rhett. So I had a little trouble, uh. Why? The worm is so much bigger. Why are you licking it? Well, because he did that so much. Freddy stuck his tongue out, but, but. he was able to grab it. 'cause look at the size of his mouth compared to the. worm and then the size of my mouth compared to the worm. This just is not, you know, this is not the same. Yeah. I'll give you points for the licking.

'cause I didn't realize he did that. It was all tongue. Yeah. But then once I finally got hold of it. Good God, you took it deep. I realized that I took it. Well, I mean, Freddy took it very deep. He took the whole worm. That's true. So I tried to get as much worm as possible. I'm gonna give you points for the deepness. And I got basically an apple sized piece of the gummy. worm, and that's why I was not able to smack very well. But you, but yeah, you weren't able to smack. but the No, I did smack. I just didn't smack as well as I wanted to.

So I'll give you a a point for licking. I'm gonna give you three points for going deep, and I'm going to give you. Two points for the smile that brings you up to six, but. then in the smile in terms of the amount of movement. Yeah, that's, I just can't. That was unintentional. Give you more than six points. That was unintentional. Okay. Let's see how Link did. Did you see how still I am?

You see how still? Well, I was still for a while. And then I just get it. And then I take my bite. There's no tongue in your bite whatsoever. There's, and I feel like I didn't see tongue. I feel like the whole point of his bite is tongue. Like, I think that's what we were looking for is. tongue, tongue first. Well, tongue first--. Well, that's just one aspect. Makes it makes it hard. You also got the blue end is, which is easier. I'll say the, the smacking. The smacking is quite on, on point. On point. That's on, you know?

Yeah. I, smacking is great. He gets a lot of points for that. That's the actual eating part, which I nailed. And my hair, I styled my hair to look like a bearded dragon. Okay, well maybe it feels that way in your own mind. Um, I'm so still. I'll give you a seven. A strike. I'll give you a seven. I, I feel like the tongue, I'm, I'm being. generous with that. 'cause you did no tongue. Yeah. Okay. Alright. Not as easy as I thought it would be though. Hey, Sporked is going live.

Multiple taste tests. All right. Okay. Please welcome your final competitor. It's Mariella the Chicken. Look at that. We love chickens. We got a chicken. Chase has brought in a chicken. So what can this chicken do? So Mariella has a little hamburger trick that we.

wanna demonstrate for you. Okay. Hamburger trick. Whoa. A little leaf blower action there. Okay. Hamburger. Alright. Oh, okay. Oh, oh, oh. Got some air. That chicken got some air. That was pretty cool. Okay, so who, who's gonna try that first? I think it's Link first. Okay. Oh, I have my.

That's pretty good. That's pretty good. I can't stay on my damn. Got it. That's okay. Alright. Pretty good. Pretty good. Pretty good. Pretty good. Horrible. Yeah. Okay. Your turn, buddy. It's harder than it looks on the knees.

He hasn't seen it yet. Yeah, no. Now he's seen it. Higher. Higher. Oh yeah, higher. Did you get it? Yep. Did he get it? Yeah. That was really high.

He used his heights. That was very high to his advantage. Very high. I, I stretched out fully. That's what I saw. Okay, all, let's analyze it. Now. If you look at me, I'm just trying to get my balance. and the chicken does a leap and a neck forward. and a peck, and I just feel really good about that. I got some height. Okay. I, yeah, that was, it was nice technique. The wings stayed intact. I will say. Your wing placement is, it bothers me a little bit because your wings are out.

You know, they're more out than the chicken had 'em. folded, so I feel like a slight demerit for that. But I do, I do appreciate that you, you asked him. to go higher was nice. I got, and I succeeded at getting the burger. That was nice. And then you went right back into chicken form. Yeah. And the chicken neck kept happening. Alright. Okay. Uh, feeling good. I'll get, I'll give you a solid eight. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thank you. Thank you. I'll take that. Alright, so that, that puts me in the power position to,

uh, rate you your four behind. You also asked for it to be taken higher, which. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I kind of forced you to do, right? Yeah. But look how, but look how high that is. And then, and then slight pause. So you stood up. Yeah. Then you jumped. Uhhuh. So that's not great. But I really wanted to make sure I grabbed it and I did. You did get it. And I became a human for a moment there. Yes, you did. Uh, and then you started flapping. It's, it's difficult to always be a chicken when. you've never been one before. I just, you know, I'm not gonna think about my.

score or the total scores. I don't even know what those are, just. Objectively. Well, you'd have to give me a 12 to tie, so. that was is impossible. I'm giving, I'm gonna give you a generous six. Okay. Alright. That's the best I can do for you Chicken man. Okay. I feel like that's fair and therefore, I'm sorry. to say Rhett, you have lost. You are officially leader of the animal king dumb, and you'll find out what that means. in Good Mythical More. Oh, so I still won something?
