GMM 1296.1: Blind Pudding Taste Test Ft. Chandler Riggs

What have they been putting in our pudding? Let’s talk about that. ( music playing ) Good Mythical Morning. You’ve chosen wisely in joining us today because today’s episode is phenomenal with a capital “F”! Wha– “Ph”. In just a bit, we’ll be scientifically determining which fast foods rats love most. Yes, that’s what we’re doing. And we’ll be jumping into the popular new world of soap cutting. But first, we got boatloads of pudding to eat. Mm-hmm, and these aren’t just any puddings. These are puddings we typically wouldn’t be caught dead eating, which is great because we’ve got a guest who knows a thing or two about the dead… and the undead. It’s time to play…. For this mystery food taste test, we just so happen to have the star of one of the most iconic pudding scenes in TV history! From “The Walking Dead” and the upcoming movies “Only” and “Inherit the Viper,” Please welcome Chandler Riggs. – Welcome to the show, man. – Give us one of these. – Thank you. – Oh, there it is. – Double shake. – Yeah. Oh, yeah. – Welcome to the show… – Yeah, thanks, guys. ( shuddering ) Yes, that iconic scene, we’re going to show a little still here. You’re sitting on the roof, as Carl, eating an economy sized bucket of pudding while a walker is reaching for you. I mean, this could be the most iconic pudding scene in history. You may be the author of that. Did you know, when you were eating the pudding, that, oh, it’s like this is big. No, I really just thought, like, “Wow, when can I stop eating this pudding?” – You ate a lot of pudding? – It was a lot of pudding. Oh, you weren’t spitting it out? No, no, I had to eat it. Yeah, yeah. You might be spitting some of this out. – Yeah, today. – Yeah, that’s right. I don’t know what’s in it. We’ve got several rounds of mystery puddings, and they’re not typical pudding flavors. These puddings are made out of things that you will not, or maybe should not ever find on the shelves. Yes, and whoever wins will be labeled the Prince of Pudding and be awarded the royal sword, which may or may not look exactly like a large wooden spoon used to mix the pudding. All right, let’s get to pudding. The generic looking pudding is before us, but something tells me the flavor is nothing but generic. And we’re sharing this, I see. Nothing but generic? Does that make sense? – Anything but generic. – Anything but generic. We knew what you meant. All right, let’s take a dip. – Don’t be sh– you guys are going small here. – That’s plenty. Okay, dink it. – Oh, oops. – Oh, drop it. Oh, I wanted to dink so bad. Dink it. Ooh, you having trouble? Is it bad? – Yeah, it’s bad. – ( Chandler coughing ) – It’s– it’s spicy. – Whoo! Your body is trained to know what pudding tastes like, so when it tastes like this– – That is not pudding. – It’s horrible. It’s not that bad, guys. Come on. It’s spicy. Um, oh, man. Okay, so here’s how this works. Oh, gosh. Stevie’s gonna count down from three, and we’re gonna say our guesses. That’s if you have a guess. And if you have a guess, and you get it right, you get two points. However, if you think that you need a hint, if she gives a hint, and then the first person to get it right after that hint gets one point. Okay? And if you guess during the two-point round, during the countdown, you cannot guess after the hint. I know what this is because my mama put this on lots of things. I don’t mean to give you a hint ’cause I could be totally wrong, but I’m guessing ’cause I’m going for the two points – right off the bat. – I’m gonna take a hint. Uh, uh… Stevie: Okay, who’s guessing? – Me. – Three, two, one… Gravy on my mama’s country fried steak. No. – What? – Well– My mama puts this on country style steak, and I am right. – Maybe she’s been putting pudding on there. – Yeah. Okay, fine, you guys get the hint. Okay, here’s the hint. Spotted cats love this pudding. Spotted– What’s a spotted cat? – Spotted cats? – A leopard? – Chandler’s getting close. – A cheetah pudding? They don’t feed pudding to those critters. Okay, guys, I’m just gonna give this one to you. It’s Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. – Oh, Chester the Cheetah. – Link: What? So now we’ve messed up pudding and Cheetos. – Spotted cats. – This one is l– This one’s a lighter brown, Chandler. I don’t– I don’t like this. Let’s get a three-way dink it and sink it on this one. Okay, all right. Dink it, sink it. ( shudders ) The consistency of pudding, combined with anything besides what should be pudding is horrible. – Oh, my. – I think I might actually have this one. I definitely have a guess, but I’m trying to narrow it down between two different things. Oh. This is so bad. There’s one thing in it that I think is rancid. – Rhett: Man… – You guys think– you– Chandler has a guess. Are you going for the two points? – I’m going– – I’m going for it, too. – Yeah. – I’m not. Okay, three, two, one… – Mashed potatoes. – Asparagus. – Mashed potatoes? – Incorrect. I said asparagus. That’s not right? – That is not correct. – Dang it! – Is mashed potatoes correct? – So, Link, here’s your hint. No. It is a green thing that kids don’t like to eat. Yeah, that was my other guess. Broccoli. – Correct. – Yeah. – Broccoli. – I was, like– I couldn’t tell if it was broccoli or asparagus. I can totally taste it. And I went with the wrong one. One point for Daddy. Okay. Now, this one– this one– You know, any unsuspecting passerby just might say, “Let me dip into some of this pudding.” It’s a little bit lighter than you would typically enjoy. Chandler, I can’t help but notice you’re getting less and less. For a reason, for a very good reason. You’re learning that it doesn’t take much. Dink it and sink it. Rhett: Uh-oh. ( gags ) – Savory? – Oh, man. – What? What? – Oh, h– Ooh, I’m getting something oceanic. – Oceanic. – Link: Yeah. – A lot more than you can taste. – Oh, my God, yeah. I know what this is. Hold on. Hold on. Oh, you swimming with me? Now that I’m smelling it, yes. Yeah, but which oceanic thing is it? – You think you know for certain? – Yeah. Well, I’m already in the lead, so I’m going to push further. I’m trying to be aggressive here. All right, who’s gonna guess without a hint? Me. I mean, I have a guess, but I’m not confident enough without a hint. That’s right. He’s not confident enough. Here we go. All right. Link, go ahead. Clam chowder. Incorrect. ( mocking ) Clam chowder. Did it not– Does it taste– If I told you that was clam chowder, would you believe me? – Honestly, yes. – See? – Yes. – Okay, but I’m wrong. What’s the hint? Okay, so this thing also functions as an insult for small people. – Uh– – Oh, come on. – Oh, count– – Shrimp! – Correct. – Hah! I almost said, “Oyster?” I’m having so much fun just eating pudding with you guys. – It’s so great. – I don’t like this. We should– You don’t like– You’re not having a good time? We’re gonna run into each other on the street, and you’re just gonna run the other direction. Yeah, yeah. Not again. You’ve eaten pudding in the presence of rotting flesh, man. – You can handle anything. – That’s true. Chandler: I don’t like the consistency of this. This one’s more liquefied. This is really liquid. – Triple wooden dink? – Dink. Triple sink. Rhett: Hmm. Oh, God. What are you experiencing? Like lots of pain and sadness. This is bad. But I think that what it is was good at one point. Let’s convince ourselves that it was good. I think you gotta cut through the pudding and find the prize. You know what I’m saying? I’m trying, man. I’m trying. The problem is the coldness. The coldness– No, it’s ultimately good. It is ultimately good. People are ultimately good. And whatever is in his pudding is ultimately good as well. I have an optimistic viewpoint on the world, boys. I’m just getting cold gravy again. I have no clue. – It’s super meaty. – It’s meaty, right? Meaty, saucy. – Anybody wanna guess? – Nope. – ( Chandler groans ) – You wanna guess? – No. – I need a clue. The clue is it’s good for the soul. Soup! Campbell’s soup– chicken soup. It’s chicken soup. – Chicken noodle soup. – Soup! Chicken-chicken! We cannot let him run away with this. Yeah. So, Chandler, when you leave here, what are you gonna tell people about your Good Mythical experience? – Great time, great time. – The guys are– great time. Great pal, great people. – So you’re gonna lie. – Yeah. – Good, good. – Yes. Yeah. Don’t worry. That’s good. I love how you’re pre-coughing. Yep. Okay, I just– You know? Oh, whoa, it’s a– It’s a big mass. Chandler: This is chunky. Okay. What in the world’s happened there? – It’s like it’s got its own shape to itself. – Look at that. What do you mean it’s got its own shape to itself? It’s separating from the sides. It wants to be one thing. You know what I’m saying? It doesn’t wanna spread. It wants to accumulate. Okay. Dink ‘er, sink ‘er. I gotta guess. Hah! I really gotta guess. There’s a gripping flavor to this one. – Gripping. – Yeah. It’s actually good. Yeah, it’s not bad. This is the best one so far. – Yeah. – It’s giving me signals that says, “Not a pudding! Enjoy it as something totally different.” You know? Okay, here’s what I’m gonna do for you guys. I feel very confident in what this is, but if I get it right without a hint, I go up to four points, and you guys are just left in the dust. – Do you think you know what it is? – I have no clue. I’m taking myself out of the pre-guess. I’m taking myself– but if you give me a hint, oh, boy, I’m gonna take it. I’m gonna take it, so… You think you know what it is? – Yeah, I– I mean, again– – It’s sour. I’ve been on this show long enough to know that I could be completely wrong, but it feels so obvious to me, but I could be completely wrong. Let’s talk our way through this. How does it taste to you? What are you getting? I mean, it’s– yeah, it’s got, like, a sour– it’s very strong. It’s like… Guys, I feel like it cuts through in such a way that the pudding doesn’t even influence it. – It’s pungent. – It doesn’t, yeah. You’ve tasted this before. All right, who’s gonna guess without a hint? I’m gonna take a hint. – I don’t– I want a hint. – Yeah. This is the only other ingredient on a Chick-fil-A sandwich. – Pickles. – Correct. Oh– Here’s a thing I will say, being in the lead at this point, this isn’t a skill that you need to be proud of. You know what I’m saying? Where are you gonna apply this to normal life? I mean, this isn’t anything to care about, right? It’s like, “What are you good at?” “Well, if you put weird stuff in pudding, I can tell you what it is. 4.2 GPA.” I think what Rhett’s getting at is the bragging rights go to the person with zero points, so you’re doing great. It just means you’re the most normal one. No sniffing. But just taste it. Just dip it and then dink it, but I think the smell is gonna go a long way, just based on what I just did. Chandler, given our experience on this show, I’ll go ahead and tell you, this being the last pudding, it’s probably not gonna be gross at all. It’s gonna be really tasty. Oh. Your face says, “Not tasty.” Oh. Yeah. Yeah. It’s got a strong medicinal smell. I’m pretty sure I know what this is as well. Oh, gosh, it’s so strong. Is it a fruit? Is it a fruit? Or is it something from the medicine cabinet? How specific do we need to be? – It’s pretty generic. – Okay. I’m definitely thinking this is something that you find in a bathroom. – Yeah. Okay, how about– – But I don’t know what. How about I’ll give the hints now? – What? – You definitely find– – You definitely find– – You know what it is? Yes. You definitely find this in a bathroom. ( spits ) What are you tasting? I think I know what it is. I’m not gonna say it, though. Did you swallow it? – Yeah. – Eww! All right, here– All right, Chandler, you’re our guest. Here’s what I suggest. He thinks he knows what it is. Let him guess for two points. – Yeah. – You know what? Three points. And then if he gets it wrong, he still gets to respond to the hint. – Okay. – Before you, but not me. – I’m not responding at all. – What’s your guess? – It’s just soap? – Correct. – It is just soap! – Okay, yeah. It’s just soap. – And you swallowed it. – Yeah. It doesn’t need to be in pudding. It doesn’t taste like you would think, but it smells like you would– yeah. I need some more pickle pudding – to get this soap taste out of my mouth. – Yeah, to dilute this. Okay, let’s bring in the scepter. Congratulations, guys. The two of you have tied, so you have to fight over the magnificently large wooden spoon. You know what, Prince of Pudding? You can have it. – Oh. Wow. – You can hang that over– You can carry that through town today. – Yes. – Hang it on your wall in your– in your apartment. Look, it’s got a little ornamentation there. – Chandler: It does, yeah. – What is that? Looks like a ghost from Pac-Man taking a crap. All right, be sure to watch “The Walking Dead” on AMC and check out Chandler in the upcoming movies “Only” and “Inherit the Viper” in theaters soon. And keep watching – just to hang out with us some more. – Yeah. Rhett: Want a new way to enjoy pudding or just a beverage? Get our Ear Biscuits mason jar, available at mythical.store.
