Science made my ice cream? – Let’s talk about that. (upbeat music) (sludge glooping) (upbeat music) (UFO whirring) (upbeat music) (logo whooshing) (hands clapping) Good Mythical Morning. – Now, you all know we’ve done a lot of cool science on this show, but today’s topic is particularly exciting because we’re about to do a lab-grown dairy. I said lab-grown dairy taste test. – Aha. It’s not a dairy alternative, it’s actual dairy but made in a lab without any animal involvement, I guess, except for the scientist. If you wanna call the scientist animals. This stuff has only recently started hitting the shelves thanks to a startup called Perfect Day, not a sponsor. So, we’re on the cutting edge here, y’all. Perfect Day manufacturers lab-grown dairy and then provides it to other companies who use it in products. Let’s watch a clip. – [Narrator] This white powder could transform the dairy industry. It is real dairy protein, just not from an animal. Scientists make it in a lab, and it’s already being used as an ingredient in cream cheese, ice cream and milk. – It’s a powder? – It’s a powder, Rhett. – I was thinking it was- I was expecting like a robot cow with a set of teats that it would just- – Don’t be disappointed, man. – Keep you talking for days. It was just- – We’re still on the cutting edge. – Squirting out white stuff that was not from a actual cow. – Well, I think if you add water to the powder then you got the white stuff, and then you can make the robotic cow. I don’t know. The real question is, does it taste dairy? – I shouldn’t judge it yet. – Right. – Because that’s what we’re here. – That’s the point of the episode. – We’re here to judge it. – Judge it a little bit later, after the title card. All right? It’s time for lab-grown dairy. Hey, that sounds kind of neat. You’re telling me this milk came from a scientists teat? – Okay. Each round we’re gonna be tasting three similar products. One is gonna be made with regular dairy, one’s gonna be made with lab-grown dairy. – Not a sponsor. – And then we’re gonna have a wild card option made with a dairy alternative, like a nut milk. – All right. We’re gonna see if we can taste the difference. But before we get started, we got a special guest here to explain a little bit more about the science behind all of this. – Oh my goodness. It is Moolissa, Moochelle’s sister, everybody. – Yeah. – Now, we haven’t seen Moochelle in quite a while. – We haven’t seen, we haven’t seen. – But I will say it’s great to see you. And I just found out recently that you have like a stem background. You know, women are amazing. – Explain how this stuff is made, if you would. – Moo, moo, moo, moo, moo, moo. Moo. – Research. – Yeah, right. – Moo, moo, moo, moo. Moo, moo, moo, moo. Moo, moo, moo. (lips smacking) Moo. – Ah, okay. So, if I’m understanding correctly, a process known as precision fermentation uses genetically modified micro flora to produce whey encasing without using any actual animals. – Moo. Moo, moo. Moo. (Rhett chuckles) – She says that, if perfected, this could be a more sustainable way to continue eating dairy without sacrificing the taste. And that it would allow our cousins still working on dairy farms to pursue their dreams in other fields like she has. – Amazing. (Moolissa laughing) Especially because there were only two moo’s for that whole second thing. – I know. – Wow. – Yeah. Right. Yeah. – All right. Thanks, Moolissa. Now, today we’re gonna be competing to win a science dance with Moolissa. – I love science dancing. – So, we hope to see you later. And please tell your sister that we miss her. (scene whipping) (upbeat music) – [Stevie] Okay, boys. Up first, we’ve got some delicious pre-made chocolate milk. Of course, your job is to find which is the lab-grown dairy version. – So, (gasps) okay. First of all, chocolate milk is my happy place. Thank you for starting here. But before we dig in, hey, my assumption is that the regular milk is gonna taste the most like the regular milk. And then I think that the milk alternative one, the wild card, is gonna taste the worst. I’m assuming that the non-dairy, the non, whatever we’re calling it, dairy. What’s it called? – Lab-grown dairy. – Lab-grown dairy is in the middle of my taste experience. – Well, and hopefully very close to the real thing. I mean, if this thing is gonna succeed. – Mm. That’s good. (person chuckling) – If you gave me that and said, “Brother, I’m giving you some chocolate milk,” I’d be like, “Thank you.” – Thank you, brother. – Thank you for that. I believe you. – And this one is a darker hue. – A darker hue. If you gave me this and said, “Brother, I’m giving you a slightly darker hue.” I’d be like, “I can tell, I can see that.” – It’s darker in hue. – It’s not as good as the first one. – Nope. Doesn’t taste as good. And then this one, brother. – Hm. That’s good. It’s sweet. It’s sweet. – I have ideas. (people laughing) – [Stevie] Okay. You’re gonna put your hand over the lab-grown dairy chocolate milk in three, two, one. – It’s gotta be this one. – Because this one sucks. And this one’s awesome, so. – Right. – This one’s acceptable. – Well, and not only that, this one tastes like rag milk. – [Stevie] Okay. So, the lab-grown dairy made by the company, Bored Cow, was in the middle. (beeper buzzing) So, the one that you thought sucked, is the lab-grown. – Yeah. We ain’t looking too good in round number one. Didn’t you think that sucked? (Rhett mumbling) – [Stevie] So, the first one you had was Nesquik. So, the first one was regular milk and then the last one was, on Link’s side, is Blue Diamond almond chocolate milk. – Oh. – [Stevie] So, what’s the- – It’s a little too sweet. – [Stevie] Like, give me a little bit… You said that the middle one sucks, but like what were you thinking that it was dairy? Or like, what does it taste like? – Taste, oh. – It tastes like something you’d get on a spaceship. (people laughing) Is that helpful? – [Stevie] Well, yeah. Is it like, so it almost tastes like powdered milk that’s reconstituted? Like it tastes like chemically? – It feels like it’s missing something besides- – Yeah. – It’s missing something, y’all. – It tastes watered down. – Yeah. – [Stevie] Okay, well, this was kind of like the straightest up dairy round. So, let’s see what happens as we move farther away. – Okay. (scene whipping) (upbeat music) (picture whipping) – [Stevie] All right, it’s time for cream cheese, but not plain cream cheese. We’re going with chive and onion to spice things up a little bit. – Hmm. Now, if you handed me this bagel and said, “Brother, this is just a bagel with cream cheese on it.” I’d be like, “Oh yeah, I believe you.” – No complaints here. – That’s very tasty. – There’s a thickness to it. – This looks different. I don’t wanna draw attention to it. – It kind of has a translucency. – Competing, but this doesn’t look right. (chuckling) I’m gonna go ahead and say that right out. (people chuckling) – It’s not bad and I’m not bumped by it. But having tasted that one, I know it ain’t as good as that one. – That could be a dairy alternative. It could be. – Because this one right here has got- – This has got a creaminess to it. – It’s got more pieces in it. – Hmm. I don’t know if I’m- – This is good. – If I’m going off of the logic that we brought to round one, which ended up proving wrong or- – Yeah. Now- – The new logic that I learned from round one. – Are you, well, all we have is what we learned in round one. So now, the one that I think is the worst is the one that I’m thinking is the lab-grown dairy. – [Stevie] Okay. Please place your hands over the lab-grown cream cheese. Three, two, one. (Link growling) – That’s what I was gonna do. – I was going out on a limb. – We both wanna believe that lab-grown dairy- – That they can do it- – Is not the worst. – Link, I feel like they can do it. – Because this is the worst. That’s the best. – [Stevie] Interesting. Because the lab-grown dairy cream cheese made by Modern Kitchen is on Rhett’s side. It’s the one you think is the best. (beeper buzzing) – Oh, y’all did it. Brother. (People laughing) (Rhett and Link clapping) – Y’all did it, y’all. – You went from the worst to the best. Are you serious? – [Stevie] I mean, it could be an exception though, because Modern Kitchen, we found, was very limited in availability. – Are they liars? – [Stevie] We had to get it from Harris Teeter in North Carolina. So, you could have that North Carolina Harris Teeter connection. But yeah, I’m being serious. The middle one is the dairy alternative, Daiya plant-based chive and onion cream cheese. But then the one that you voted for is Philadelphia. – Really? And it’s good but like- – Once you add onions, if you get the right consistency, you’re money. (scene whipping) (upbeat music) – [Stevie] Ice cream. Cookies and cream. Eat it. Eat it. (Rhett laughing) – All right. – Eat it. Eat it. Wow. I mean- – Wow. – These all just look like ice cream. – Yeah. I’m eating it. Totally decent. – Um. – Totally decent. – I can imagine ice cream being better than that. – Yep. That’s why I just said it was decent. What some people might call mid. (person laughing) – And you had a lot of ice cream in your day. I wonder who’s had more. – I bet you’ve had more, but I bet I love it more. I don’t think this one tastes as good, but it’s got a more, I think it’s got more gluten in it. I like all of these. – Okay. I have a guess. I don’t wanna talk openly about it. ‘Cause I feel like so far we’ve just chosen the same things. I mean, we gotta have a different guess to make this interesting. – Okay. – [Stevie] Three, two, one. – This one’s the best, which makes me think that this one is the lab-grown. – I actually thought- – Milk. – No, I actually thought this one was the best. But it’s neck and neck in my mind. – [Stevie] Okay. The lab-grown dairy made by Midwestern ice cream chain, Graeter’s, is on Rhett’s side. (beeper buzzing) – Well, there’s two on Rhett’s side. – This one? – [Stevie] Well, push it back over, the first one. Yeah. (chuckles) There you go. – This one or this one? – [Stevie] Yeah. No, no. That’s the Rhett-side one. Then you have the middle one, then you have Link’s-side one, you know. – Oh, so we were both wrong but we were both wrong in different ways. – So, the worst one but only by a smidge. – I thought this was like- – Was the lab-grown. – Coconut milk ice cream is what I would’ve called it. – [Stevie] So, the middle one is the same brand but it’s the regular dairy. – Yeah. That’s what I thought. – [Stevie] As the first one. – I liked it the best. – [Stevie] And then Link, the last one that you liked is the milk alternative. It’s Planet Oat non-dairy cookies and cream. – Oat milk? – [Stevie] Yeah. – You like oat milk a lot. – I do like oat milk a lot. – I thought it tasted night as good, but better than this. And I thought because they did such a good job on the cream cheese, they’d bring it on the ice cream but they dropped the ball, brother. (scene whipping) (upbeat music) (picture whipping) – I like those two guys. I want to have ’em on my shelf in vinyl form in a nice little packaging here. – Are you doing an impersonation of a fan? – This comes out of it. Look at that? – Are you trying to put yourself in the shoes of a fan? – Yep. I am. I’m a mythical beast myself. If you want to be like me and be your mythical best, get our Youtooz Collectible.

That was pretty good. (figurines clunking) You really took me somewhere with that. – [Stevie] So, you may be tempted to think, hey, is it chocolate milk again? – Oh. – Is it chocolate milk again? – [Stevie] No, unfortunately, this is the protein powder round. (chuckling) – [Rhett] Unfortunately. Yeah. – So, there’s like just a one of these is- – All protein powder, you just put it in water? That’s a bad idea. Especially after you’ve had- – Everything else. – Chocolate milk. – Yeah. It’s not horrible. – I’d say that’s horrible. But, in context, it may not be horrible. – Yeah. – I’m just saying definitively. – This one looks like it should be better. – Oh. – It is better. – You could almost tell me that was chocolate milk. – No. – If you said, “Brother, have some chocolate milk.” I’d taste it and I’d be like, “Mm.” – Do you want me to call you brother? Is that really what this is about? You keep going on and on about the brother. – Well, here’s the thing. I’m glad you brought this up. – [Link] You have a brother. – I have a brother, but he, you know, he lives in North Carolina and you’re the person that’s here, brother. And so I just feel like I’m just taking advantage of the opportunity that I have. (people laughing) This looks like creek water. – Brother. This is bad, brother. – This looks like somebody went down to the Mississippi and just dumped a glass in for a second. (people laughing) – I hope. I hope. – Oh! – I hope this is the alternative. I mean, go back here, dude. – I think you put creek in a glass. – I need to help you, brother. – Is that what they call it? Creek in a glass? – Ahhh. – Oh gosh. That’s bad too. But that’s different. All right. I’ll have a guess. – That’s bad. But that’s different. – [Stevie] Three, two, one. – I hope that it’s- – Dang it, man, we gotta do something different. – Why don’t you go ahead and move over here. – No, because the reason I’m choosing this one is because- – We’ve got none of them right, right? – I think that you’re right. I think this is the alternative because it doesn’t mix in the same way. So, it’s like not anywhere close to the world of dairy. – [Stevie] The lab-grown whey protein powder made by a company called Whey Forward, was on Link’s side. The creek bottom. (chuckles) (beeper buzzing) – We have had a negative- – [Rhett] Creek in a glass. – [Stevie] Ah, the weird takeaway for this round is that the alt was on Rhett’s far side. It was a a pea protein powder and the middle was the one that had the dairy which you liked best out of the three. So, I guess it does- – That’s not weird. – [Stevie] Matter. – That’s normal. – That doesn’t feel weird to me, Stevie. – [Stevie] I just didn’t… Sure. Okay. (scene whipping) (upbeat music) (picture whipping) – As you can see, we can’t. And why is that? – [Stevie] Well, because there are chocolate bars in front of you and we don’t wanna give anything away with your eyeballs. – Okay. – Mm. – Do they look that different? – I wonder if I can feel the difference? Is it one bar for man, per man? – One bar for man, one giant leap for whatever we are. (people laughing) – It’s one bar for… – [Stevie] No, you’re splitting that large bar and Link already took his. – It’s one bar per two guys? – [Stevie] Yeah. (people laughing) Two brothers. (chuckling) – Two guys and one bar? – [Stevie] Two brothers, one bar. – That’s what I was trying to get to. (Link chuckling) Remember that? – Yeah, you made me watch that a few times. (people laughing) Um, I didn’t love that. – Oh, interesting. You didn’t love that. – Oh. – Are you okay? – Mm. Boy, I really hated that second one and then the third one. Oh. (fingers tapping) That one’s softer. – See that was a kinda like a magic trick if you were watching closely. – They all feel like chocolate. – I feel like there’s only one that’s good. – But one of them is definitely the best. – What happened in… – I feel like there’s not been a consistent logic to any of this other than the fact that the best one is always the dairy. – Right. I can’t figure out which one’s the best one now. Okay. – [Stevie] Well, and might I point out that actually that’s not even true ’cause there was a round in which the best one was the lab-grown. – That’s right. – [Stevie] Three, two, one. To clarify, you’re both over the middle one, right? Okay. (giggles) – See, why did you guess that? Because it was, the second best? – This one is so much better than the other two. – Yeah. – These both suck. – I thought that one was… I liked this one. I thought it was the best until I retasted that one. And that one’s definitely the best. – This one is like 12 times better than the other two. – [Stevie] The lab-grown dairy bar made by a company called CO2COA, is on Link’s side. – We were… (beeper buzzing) Dude. – Well. – We did a double zero. Have we ever done a double zero? Probably. We’ve done a show a lot. – We did a queen vacuum. (beeper buzzing) ‘Cause we all suck. – [Stevie] The one on Rhett’s side was the regular chocolate bar and then the alternative was right in the middle. – So, you’re telling me five rounds, two boys- – Brothers. – Two brothers. Zero right answers. And also only one time that the lab-grown dairy shined on any level. – The cream cheese. – And it was the cream cheese. They’re doing cream cheese right. But you know what, maybe in 2032 they’ll have everything else figured out. – I think it’s when they put onions in it. – Well, we didn’t win our science dance with Moolissa. Are you okay, Link? (Link coughing) I know you’re upset. (Link sniffing) – I gotta be honest, with this head cold I can’t taste anything. (people laughing) I’m just a figurehead at this point. – Yeah, it was really my loss. – Yeah. You really look stupid. I have an excuse. – But here, we’re both gonna look stupid because Moolissa’s gonna come out and do her science dance by herself. – Could have been us, Rhett.
