Welcome back. We missed you. Now, for years I’ve been warning you people that the apocalypse is imminent, but most of these warnings have gone ignored, and many of you are not prepared. – Mm. – Even if you’re lucky enough to survive the initial event, chances are you’ll starve to death in the aftermath, but the good news is there is at least one person who answered my call. And this is her? Aly Moore? This is her– Aly Moore. Hey, Aly Moore, thanks for continuing to hang out with us. – Of course. – Aly is an edible bug enthusiast. What’s the official term? Entomophagist. – Entomophagist. – Entomophagist. And founder of the blog– Bugible. She hosts private bug events, right? And public ones. – And public ones? – Yeah. Where you serve full-course bug meals paired with wine, which we just did in the previous segment. If you missed it, click on back. But we’re gonna have a full-course bug meal not paired with wine. We’re gonna have a bug-rito. Burrito! So basically we’re playing war. We did this a while back, something we call Bug War, but it was basically just playing war with cards and then– Don’t give aw– Oh, I thought you were showing everybody your cards. Don’t look at your cards. I’m not looking at them. I’m just fanning them out. You know? Just sniffing them. War is super simple, right? You each draw a card. Whoever has the highest card wins that round. In the previous bug war, you had to eat the bug if you got the lowest one. In this round we’re going to be making a burrito. Each round we’re going to have a bug ingredient and a regular burrito ingredient. – Yeah. – And you have to build your burrito through each round of war. Okay, Aly, what is at stake in the first round of bug war? All right, in the first round of bug war we have sago grubs, which are kind of the bacon of the bug world. Good gracious, they’re huge. They’re not bacon, Aly. – They actually have– – Nobody’s buying that. …a little more of a meaty feel to them. What’s the black part? That’s the head. Okay. You could’ve– You could’ve removed that. Oh, that’s not bacon. That doesn’t smell like bacon, but I love beans. The person with the higher card gets the beans. – Gets the choice. – Gets the choice? All right, three, two, one… Whoop. Four of spades. Nine of hearts. That’s higher, Link. – I get my bean fix. – So you get my car– Daddy gets his bean fix. All right, so… You can, like, dump it on a little bit. Hey, I think this is the rule. You have to do it so that every bite of your burrito– Link, there’s a lot of meal out of ingredients. I would– Just do enough that there’s, like, a line across the whole thing. Yeah, like that. I mean, Daddy likes beans, but… What’s round two here? Round two is queen weaver ants. Queen beaver ants? – Queen weaver ants. – Okay. So they’re not your typical black ants. They are a little herbal. Link, you just already put one in your friggin’ burrito. – Don’t take it out! – And lettuce. I’m just trying to show it to the beasts. These are the sections of the ants. Yeah, you’re gonna have the whole body in there. They’re probably broken up a little bit since they’ve been dried out. They don’t smell too unappetizing. But this right here looks amazing. What is this? Okay, three, two, one… – Whoop. – Three. Sucker. You get a three and you still beat me? Yeah, I did. There’s only one card that loses to a three, and that’s what this is. And you know which one it is? The one you have. Ah, but there’s four of these, so… Daddy gets his lettuce on, too,. I don’t know why I’m Daddy today. I’m sorry. I’m Daddy every day. – No, not here. – Not here. I can’t bring my daddiness to the show? That’s why you have children. Okay. Mm, goodness. Aly: It’s gonna be like seasoning. I’ve never appreciated lettuce so much. I always thought it was just unnecessary, but in this moment it’s very necessary. All right, bring out the next round. All right, next is a little challenging. I typically don’t serve these– – Oh, gosh. – …at dinners. Rhino beetles– we know about those. Aly: Giant rhino beetles. I’ve had one of these before, and this is dangerous, y’all. – If you don’t chew it up good– – So you usually– You’re saying you usually don’t serve these – because why? – So at events, I try to normalize the act of eating bugs. – You “normalize.” – These are a little aggressive. So I will serve them to provide Instagram fodder or Snapchat fodder, but– Now you’re in our world, girl. – Yeah, yeah. – We know about that fodder. Three, two, one… Yeah– ( stomping floor ) Daddy gets his sour cream. ( cackling ) Dude, these cards were shuffled. I watched them right before this. They shuffled them. Well, you know what? I didn’t watch them. Mm. Mmm. Aly: These are really high in B12. B12, Link. I don’t have B12 over here. Oh, that changes everything. Oh, great, B12. It’s, like, a very good nutrient. You’re getting that from the exoskeleton of a lot of the bugs you’re eating. Interesting that you’re making “Centipede” the movie with those bugs. Can you bring in some centipedes? I’d love to add those. Well, we do have June beetles next. June beetles? And your favorite– Doom beetles. – Tomatoes. – Oh, tomatoes. Okay, Link, you’re screwed either way. I can’t win. You are screwed either way, man. All right, here we go. Three, two… – Uh– oh! – All right. That means we both gotta eat both. We both get both. Whoa, whoa, whoa, that’s even worse for me. Yeah. ( cackles ) Yeah, here you go. I’ll help you out. ( humming ) – ( sighs ) – Here we go. All right, so– I’m looking down at this, and, like, this– This does not say burrito in any– This says insanity. I haven’t really prepared these, so it’s not necessarily tasty… yet. – Okay. – What’s next. Hold on. You haven’t put your bugs in yet, bro. I– I lost track. All right, next we have cheese. Oh, I like cheese, too. And another one of my favorites– scorpions, Armor-tailed scorpions. Oh, my gosh. These are the lobster of the land. And they’re actually arthropods, just like lobsters. Those are a lot smaller than that scorpion you had that one time. It’s still got the sting on it. Aly: Think of that like a sharp chip. You don’t chew that enough, it’ll scrape going down. Okay, I’ll think of it like a sharp chip. Three, two… Link, that’s as bad as it gets, man. I mean, that’s literally as bad as it gets. I mean, I got the highest card. You got the lowest. I see that. Man, fate is smiling on me once again. Oh, I’m gonna just look at those like black beans. You know? More beans for Daddy. What’s the next one? That’s it, man. Oh, yeah, okay. – He’s putting– – Now you have to eat that. Let me just see if I can… feel what it’s like to win. Three, two, one… Oh! Huh-ho! – I won. – Yeah. – Too bad it has no bearing on anything. – Again, again. Three, two, one… – Oh, loser. – Okay. Yeah, I can’t– Okay, let’s roll these up, and then we’re gonna cut them down the middle so that your first bite of the burrito will be everything that it is. Okay, so then I’ve got– I’ve got a knife here. Down the middle. ( chuckles ) What’s going on over there, Link? I’m trying to cut through a scorpion, and I can’t do it. It’s an armor-tailed scorpion. I mean, mine can basically be Taco Bell. but that, on the other hand, is Taco Hell. There’s absolutely nothing good about that, Link. Dink and sink it, Link. You can get a little bit of my good burrito on your burrito. Dink it. And sink it. ( crunching ) This would be perfect if it didn’t have those bu– that one bug in it. – Aly: So? You like it. – ( crunching ) Rhett: Listen to that crunch. – ( clears throat ) – So… that might not be how we always serve bugs, but, you know, prepared separately, you can put that scorpion in some butter and pan sear it, make it taste like some good seafood. – But I’m glad– – They coulda done that! I’m so glad you didn’t do that, Aly. I’m so glad that he’s eating that, and I’m so glad that you’re clicking through to the next part of this episode because we’re gonna be beatboxing in suits covered in bouncy balls. Here I go. Aah. Rhett: Drink and be merry with our bundled mug set. Get them just in time for the holidays at mythical.store.
