- Let's talk about that.

(cheerful music)

Good Mythical Morning.

- Denny's is known for its 24/7 open doors,

senior citizen discounts,

and banging breakfast options.

And though Denny's lost by one point to IHOP

for the Food Feuds title of the Absolute Uncontested

Best Breakfast Skewing Diner

and OG Pancake House of All Time...

- That's right.

- They still hold a very special place in our hearts.

- And you know what?

Maybe they didn't get a fair shake.

Maybe we should travel back in time

to taste all Denny's has and has had to offer.

- I'll grab the time machine,

you bring the shuffle stick.

- It's time for

The Shuffleboard Game, Denny's Edition.

- Welcome to the Shuffleboard Game Zone.

- In each round,

we're gonna sample a classic Denny's menu item

and then we're gonna shuffle our egg pucks

down to the decade we believe it was first introduced.

Whoever's closest to the right answer wins the round.

And, since Rhett has defeated me and my dignity

four times in a row...

- Hey man, I'm sorry.

- We have updated my Double Pucking Trouble Puck.

This is an entirely new prototype.

- Wow, pretty cool.

- Still two pucks, but even more technology,

to try to help me get a win today.

- I'm excited to see that.

Also, whoever wins will be crowned senior citizen for a day,

and get a taste of that sweet, sweet retirement life

in Good Mythical More.

- All right, let's do it.

(chill music)

(indistinct), oh!

- I was gonna...

- I was gonna let it get height.

We should've communicated.

Original Grand Slam.

Ooh, and look, this is like legitimate...

Did we steal this from their menu?

- We got Denny's font?

- I mean...

- You didn't have to do that!

- They have really outdone themselves.

It's very grand.

- It's good, too, I mean,

not just because we made an awesome commercial for Denny's

back in the day, remember that?

- Hm.

♪ Bacon makes it better ♪

I forgot about that.

- But Denny's is pretty good.

- All right, so you're gonna shuffle first.

Original Glam Slam, Graham Slam, I can't even say it.

- Original Grand Slam.

- Baseball terminology.

- Man, when it comes to the history of Denny's,

I just feel, I just look at it in my mind,

and it's just blank.

I mean, I...

There's a Denny's darkness that I can't penetrate.

You gotta think this is pretty early on.

But not just when they decided to serve these items,

but when they decided to serve these items together

and call them a Grand Slam.

"Grand slam" isn't necessarily a new term.

I don't know.

I'm gonna lodge myself in the back. 1950.

- 1950, back there in the left corner,

and he has, what's the baseball term

for when you like land on something?

- He has landed on the base.

- He's safe!

- Safe.

- I think it's safe, on 1950.

I mean, the word "original" is in this.

Oh, man, 40s is too early.

It could be 60s, that's at the front.

- [Rhett] But you're feeling good about my guess.

- [Link] I kinda am, yeah, so. - Feeling good

about that guess.

- So I'm gonna go...

- You're gonna try to be in 50 as well?

Now hold on, I'm completely in 50.

- [Link] I could be even more completely, by being...

- So you're saying if you're more in 50,

and more in the center, that you win?

- [Link] I think so.

- Okay, if you can do that, sure, you get the point.

- 'Cause otherwise, what are we gonna do with the tie?

- [Rhett] Yeah, if you're more in the center, you win.

- I think if it's a complete tie,

then the points carry over to the next round.

- This is getting very,

let's just see what you do, and then we'll make the rule,

'cause this is all assuming you're gonna land in 50.

- The funnest part of this game

is how we keep changing the rules.

- Right.

(Stevie laughs)

It's a living document.

- [Link] Come on!

- [Rhett] Well, you made me more into 50.

- [Link] Aw, crap.

- [Stevie] Arguably the most iconic Denny's dish,

the Original Grand Slam first appeared on menus in Atlanta,

to honor legendary baseball player and local hero,

Hank Aaron,

three years after he broke Babe Ruth's home run record.

That year was

1977.

- 77, woo, I got lucky.

Ooh, I'm feeling good today.

- [Stevie] Check out this commercial from that time period.

- Oh yeah, does it have Hank in it?

♪ For dinner, lunch, or Sunday brunch ♪

Yeah.

♪ Welcome to Denny's ♪

I like that.

- Just come from England,

and Denny's was the first place we ate.

- The service was really beautiful.

- [Link] Well cheer up. - I said

"There's the Denny's."

So we decided that we'll stop off and have a cup of coffee

and piece of pie.

- [Link] Oh, with cheese on the pie.

- [Woman] And I love their salads.

- When we're traveling and we're hungry,

we always can find a Denny's on the road.

♪ Welcome to Denny's ♪ - [Rhett] wow.

- Very nice indeed.

♪ We're looking good ♪

- Oh, make the Brit smile.

- "We just came from England

and the first place we decided to go was Denny's.

We're not disappointed at all."

(crew chuckles) (Rhett laughs)

(chill music)

Let's communicate.

This time, I'm gonna catch the nipple in my hand.

- All right.

Gonna nipple it.

Higher.

Higher. - We've never

successfully done this. - Lower.

One more time.

Oh, gosh.

Moons Over My Hammy.

- This is just a ham and cheese

and egg sandwich.

- This is nice-looking.

Mm.

We still got the hash browns over here.

Yeah, our fingers are getting greasy, man.

- All right, Link.

You took the early lead, you go first.

- Hm.

I like that name. Moons Over My Hammy.

'Course it's a reference to...

The popular saying "Moon over Miami"?

- Yeah.

- It's like, "Well, I'll believe that

when there's a moon over Miami."

It's like something that never happens.

- 'Cause the moon never shows up in Miami,

'cause something about the way the Earth is shaped.

- Right, the equator, and how far south it is.

- And because it's a peninsula.

- Right.
