Rhett is completely lost and Link understands the rules from the first round!? This is unprecedented.

[@thespankmyfrank]

I'm just waiting for the Link haters to still somehow make this into a negative towards him... 🙃

[@Princex2020]

I feel Rhett understood the rules fine?

CAME HERE TO SAY THIS. ITS LITERALLY ANOTHER DIMENSION

[@bubbledoubletrouble]

@@thespankmyfrank You say that as if it were a challenge. Who the heck “eats around” (4:51) the fruit in a fruit cobbler? I bet Link’s the kind of person who takes extra crust when he cuts a slice of pie, too, leaving the excess filling in the tin.

Rhett being confused this whole episode is hilarious to me since its usually link who messes up

[@jamesAGarfield608]

This is the most confusing episode they have ever done I agree with Rhett I usely go by what I like not by ripeness even statistically picky eaters generally can sense ripe better

[@Razzledazzle999]

Haha I love it

[@Razzledazzle999]

Tho link is still confused and it makes it so funny when they are both confused

[@firstnamelastname4216]

Rhett totally pulled a Link in this episode, and it was hilarious

[@jrmh76]

I'm bothered that Rhett freezes his bananas with the peel still on.

[@RH-ry3ip]

This episode felt like a weird crossover where Rhett turns into Link being so confused with everything hahaha

[@LordDragox412]

Considering Link ate tomatoes in the guac, this must be an opposite day.

[@prestonvdb9623]

This was episode was secretly recorded on opposite day, January 25th of this year 2023, but was released at the later date of May 17th, 2023 so as not to arouse suspicions of any purposefully changed behavior. Too bad we know that all the fruits that they chose in the episode just so happen to be in season in Texas, which is where they had to film the episode to enable the phenomenon to even have a chance of occurring. You can tell they're in TX because they had to remark Chase's character was short and to make you believe he's short even though he shown to be 2" taller than normal in reference to Rhett and Link's usual sitting height due to the lessened atmospheric pressure at the higher elevation than their usual LA studio.

[@ztarr]

I really don't think it was. It seemed completely genuine. He thought the cup he touched first was Link's. Lol the blindfold had him hella disoriented.

[@hondaaccord1399]

Thought it was a joke until he was like, "I don't wanna tell you what just happened" 😂

[@DedmenMiller]

"He thought the first touched was his" the first was very cold (like a smoothie) the other is not. Also the second is wider than the first, and he can feel the mug handle, smoothie glasses have no mug handle. It was an act pretty clearly.

[@catsballs9657]

@@DedmenMiller blindfolds disorient you ALOT. Also how did you know his mug wasn’t cold either? They probably have cold water in their mugs cuz they’re americans. He only felt the smoothie glass and then felt his mug close to it. I’ve been watching for a decade and it doesn’t feel like a bit

The once a year rare episode where Rhett is more confused then link.

Did anyone catch when Link said “Ripe” instead of “Right” and was so impressed with himself? It’s at 6:07, and made me laugh SO HARD because I wasn’t expecting it. 😂😂😂

According to this I've been eating over ripe mangoes my whole life. That straw moment was beautiful.

[@chickennuggetpaw]

That recipe for “cobbler” Link gave us in the first round is more like a dump cake. Real cobbler uses flour, baking powder, milk (and yes, butter and sugar.) As a cobbler fan, I find this distinction *very* important.

[@iamryan9234]

4:50 I thought I was the only one who ate cobbler this way 😅 Link is the man!

I think it would be awesome if there was some kind of tech to indicate when a fruit, vegetable, fungi, dairy, or cheese has reached peak ripeness for consumption, a container bg or sticker of some king maybe even an app as reminder that gets data from the above source.
