All of the Mountain Dew flavors? Do tell. – Let’s talk about that. (gentle upbeat music) Good Mythical Morning! – And welcome to the finale of Season 23! (crew clapping and cheering) As we mentioned earlier this week, we may not be releasing any new episodes of GMM next week, but we are dropping a brand new marathon episode on Wednesday, okay? It’s gonna have hours worth of some of your favorite GMM episodes, along with commentary and behind-the-scenes hot tea from us, the Hot Tea Boys! – Hey! And then we’ll be back with Good Mythical Summer every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. Did I say Saturday? – What? – Yes, I did say Saturday because it’s the premiere of something very, very special. Good Mythical Weekend. – What? – It’s brand new episodes every Saturday featuring your favorite crew members from the Mythical crew playing brand new games, getting into all kinds of chaos, but controlled chaos. Come on. We’re not animals! You don’t wanna miss any of it. – Most of us. – You don’t wanna miss any of it. It’s gonna be great. – Rhett, we’re both aware. – Yes, I’m constantly aware. – That you think Mountain Dew is doing way too much after the rant that you made on the show a couple of years ago. – Yes, I still feel very, very strongly about that. – But people love their Dew. It’s some people’s favorite beverage. – Okay, I’m willing to put aside our differences for the good people of the internet. – Okay, that’s good because we’re about to try every single flavor that Mountain Dew has to offer. It’s time for “Gut Check Mountain Dew Edition.” – All right, Stevie, tell us what you got for us! – I bet it’s a bunch of Mountain Dew. – [Stevie] Gentlemen, you know how this works. The Mythical crew has acquired every available Mountain Dew drink for today’s tasting, save for their energy drinks, diet drinks, and caffeine free drinks. That leaves us with a total of 24 drinks you’re tasting today. And after you try each flavor, you’ll give it a score of one to 100, based on your gut reactions. – Yes. – [Stevie] Then you’ll taste the top four to determine which Mountain Dew flavor deserves the top title of King of the Mountain Dew. – Okay. – Well, I like that title. – And let me tell you. – It’s clever. – This is probably the most colorful gut check I’ve ever witnessed. – Oh, if you could see. – And the wings are so colorful. – And here’s the thing is that it’s healthy. You’re supposed to have a- – Is it? – You’re supposed to have a lot of different colors on your plate. – Right. – So Mountain Dew by by extension is probably the healthiest beverage. You heard it here. – Mountain Dew diet. – You heard it here. – And I have an amazing ranking chart as my scoring aid. – [Rhett] Look at that. – [Link] Look, I’m climbing the Mountain Dew. – [Rhett] And each one of those is a little head that you know how to feel about things. – [Link] Yeah, all my heads know how to feel. – Wow. – And my one body connects with all of my heads. – That is so cool, Link. I wonder what the Mythical crew got for me. (crew laughing) – That thing is… – Well, let me just say. – It’s throwable? – This is the best y’all I’ve done because it has my heads on it. Oh, it’s got a… – What? Who? What are you trying to? – [Rhett] I was gonna try to move the body. – [Link] Nothing moves. – And look, look, look, look. They’ve got me counting and they stop at 40. (crew laughing) – Okay. – Y’all stop at 40? – Just fold it back up and throw it away, man. See if it flies. Because this right here is the Dew-diggity. All right. – [Stevie] Okay, if your pals need a Mountain Dew rest at any point, you’re gonna nosh on some white bread, which, of course, is what one naturally would do whilst drinking 24 flavors of Mountain Dew. – Mountain Dew and white bread. That’s a good day. – [Stevie] And we’re gonna start off with the regular bottled flavors category. First up, of course,` original Mountain Dew. – I’ve had this before. – Yes. That is Mountain Dew. – That is good. – It’s not great, though. It’s not as good as Mellow Yellow. – Uh-uh. I gotta show some love to the Dew, though. I’m gonna give it a, you know what? A conservative 70. I think there’s room for improvement. – Wow. I was thinking 71. Look at us. – Really? – Yeah. – [Stevie] Summer Freeze. – Summer Freeze. Oh, it’s blue. – That’s ironic. – So it’s healthy. (crew laughing) It tastes exactly like you would think a blue a drink that blue would taste like. – Like a melted icee. – 41. – I’m gonna give that a 37. – [Stevie] Pitch Black. – Pitch Black. Boy, that makes me thirsty. Is it oil? – It’s purple. – Yeah, it’s purple. Why they call it Pitch Black? It’s purple! – Does it have insects in it? It’s kind of a weird aftertaste. – I like it. I like it. I give it a 79. – (laughs) You like that? – Yeah. It’s a little… It’s grape, but they didn’t wanna say that. – 49. – What? – Yeah, I didn’t like that, man. I think it’s got insects in it. I think that might be cricket juice. (crew laughing) – [Stevie] Spark. – Now, that’s a little bit refreshing. It’s sour. It’s tangy. – I kind of like that. – That’s pretty good, too. – 74. – Dang, son. I’m not gonna have to move my climber. – You could do- – 76. – Oh. – I can do a what? – I thought you felt like you were being influenced by my answer. – I never am. – Okay. All right, okay. – [Stevie] Major Melon. – Major Melon. Sounds like a… No, it’s not my nickname in high school. No, no, it’s not. No. – You had a big head in high school. – It sounds like a rejected WWE. – I’m Major Melon! – Major Melon! – Headbutt incoming! 30. – Now, I’ve forgotten what it tastes like. Boy, if I had my airplane. – It tasted like a melon, but not in a good way. – It’s not great. 47. – Did not like it. – [Stevie] Code Red. – Oh, we’ve had this. – Yeah, yeah. Code Red is very cherry. Let’s be real. – It’s got a fruit punch thing that I kind of like. – Yeah. Is it just fruit punch? – It tastes like fruit punch. – It’s cherry forward fruit punch. – It tastes like somebody put something in a fruit punch. – 49 for me. – I kind of like this. 75. – [Stevie] Live Wire. – Uh-oh! Don’t touch it! Just put your mouth on it. – Orange. – It’s a mild orange. (crew laughing) It’s a mild orange. – It’s a weird orange, isn’t it? – It is. – Sometimes, you get a weird orange. – 61 for me. – It’s like the orange has been sitting in a vat of, I don’t know, paint thinner. – There’s too many kinds of oranges. Have you noticed that? – Yeah. They need to- – There’s too many kinds of oranges. – The orange people need to narrow it down. – We even did like, an ad for a type of orange on TikTok. Remember that? – Yeah. – There’s so many types of oranges. – You remember which one it was? – I don’t know, but it was a good orange. – It was a good orange. – I mean, we’re not gonna do an ad for something that’s not good. That was was a good orange. – It was great. – But there’s too many types of oranges. Orange. – Are you including the quats? Like the kumquat and loquat and the g-quart? – Quats are not part of the orange family. – That’s your loss, man. – 50. – [Stevie] Voltage. – Oh, right next to Live Wire. – [Link] I like that color. – That tastes like the other blue one has been electrocuted. – It’s a little- – You know? They ran a current through it. – It’s blueberry-ish. – This is the worst one for me. – I don’t hate it. – 38. – I wish it was- – We’re all over the place today. – I wish it was more pungent, but I’m gonna give it a 60. – [Stevie] Fruit quake. – (chuckles) You know somebody who’s real proud of that. – You ever experienced one of those? That’s when you’re like, you work in the produce department and you got a little too happy with your stacking. – Yeah. Well, Fruit Quake was my nickname in high school. That’s the interesting thing. It wasn’t Major Melon. It was Fruit Quake. Do they know that it sounds like fruitcake? Is that the joke? Do they know? – Oh, I didn’t know. – See, I think maybe they didn’t know. I don’t think they know about the Fruit Quake Yeah. – But it sounds like fruitcake. – [Stevie] Well, it is the limited edition holiday flavor, so I’m gonna go out and limb and say yeah. – They probably knew. – [Stevie] Yeah. – They knew. – That’s why it tastes so old. – It was not great. 30. – 40. – [Stevie] And that concludes the bottled flavors category. – You’re being harder on on these than me. – Well, you know how I feel about Mountain Dew. – [Stevie] We’re gonna move on to the Kickstart flavors. – I feel strongly about it. – Yeah, what constitutes a Kickstart? More caffeine? – [Stevie] It got a little juice in it. That’s what Carney said. – It’s got a little juice in it. It’s got little juice in it. – But it doesn’t come in a bottle? – [Stevie] It’s a can. – Oh, okay. Hey, this comes in a can. – [Stevie] Did you want any white bread? – Yeah, yeah. I’ll take a little bit of white bread. – [Stevie] I just kinda wanna watch you… – It’s not gonna change anything for me. – [Stevie] Eat the white bread for some reason. – It’s not gotta change anything. – Ready. – [Stevie] Okay, we’re going with Orange Citrus. – Oh, yeah. Redundant munch. – Munch? (Rhett and crew laughing) – Redundant munch. Also my nickname in high school. (crew laughing) – [Link] Yeah, yeah, yeah. – Do it again. – That’s pretty good. I’m gonna give that a 69. – (laughs) Me, too. (crew laughing) Yeah, me, too. – [Stevie] Black Cherry. – Oh, I like black cherry. It’s the best of the cherries. There’s not too many cherries. It actually takes very cola-y. – Yes and sour cola. – Yeah, it’s weird. – 74. – It’s weird. Like, non-cherry cola, too. – And there’s a little bit of juice in it. I don’t know what kind of juice it is. – 41. – Probably cherry. We’re on opposite ends of the Mountain Dew spectrum. – Yeah. – This is gonna be a interesting final four. – [Stevie] Well, but the next flavor is grape. We know how you feel about grape. – Yeah. – So they ran outta names? (crew laughing) That’s pretty good. – It tastes good, but almost, I wanna- – Is it better than new grape? No. But is it? – I feel like I wanna suck a grape flavor, not drink a grape flavor. I’m going with 59. I liked it enough. – I think I liked it a teeny bit more than you. 60. – [Stevie] Fruit punch. – See? – It tastes like Hawaiian Punch. – I don’t like… – You don’t like punch. – I don’t like fruit punch that much. – Just say it. Just say it. – I don’t know. There’s something about it, it’s like… – It’s like, what fruit is it? – I don’t have the button that fruit punch pushes. – It pushes a lot of buttons. – It’s my fault. That’s what I’m saying. – 50. It’s not great. – 30. – [Stevie] Pineapple Orange Mango. – Okay. – Now, this is different. Mango is a game changer every time. – I know you love your mango! – And when you put pineapple with it and then what else is it? Citrus? – [Stevie] Orange. – Orange is a citrus. – Pineapple Orange Mango. – This is my favorite. I feel like I want. This is the first one where I want another sip. Can I get another sip? – I think the mango comes on so strong and there’s like, it’s almost like, you think it was an alcoholic drink. There’s something in a mango. Maybe it’s alcohol. – That’s good and it’s got a little juice in it. – [Link] I know you like it. – 82. That’s my favorite so far. – I’m gonna give it a 50. (Rhett groans) – [Stevie] This is a good point to remind everyone that at the end, we’ll learn what Rhett and Link’s individual favorites were. – Yes. – Right. – [Stevie] So don’t fret. – Right. – [Stevie] Strawberry Start-Up. – This will be tough to be good. – Start-Up. This is like, they make this in like, a garage on the outskirts of San Francisco. – The Bay Area. – That was mild. – Las Gatos. – It’s almost creamy. – This is from a Las Gatos. – I’m not typically a strawberry man, but there’s something about that’s just pushing- – It actually is a little bit, it takes a little of the edge off in a way that is better than I was expecting. – 63. – I’m gonna go all the way to 67. (Link gasps) – [Stevie] And that concludes the Kickstart flavor category. The next category is restaurant or store exclusive flavors. – Okay, so like a Taco Bell. – [Stevie] Beginning with Mountain Dew Legend from Buffalo Wild Wings. – They got a drink there? – Mountain Dew Legend. See, now this one’s black. – No, it’s almost green. Look, if you get a… (crew laughing) – What is wrong? What is that? Is it a prune? – It’s almost licorice. I’m thinking if your mouth was on fire, it would be good. – That’s a good point. That’s a good point. Does it marry with- – Get this guy the Legends! – With heat? – Straight from the tap right to his mouth. – But I didn’t like it otherwise, so I’ve gotta give it a 36. – I like the licorice a little bit, enough to push me into 51. – Baja Blast from Taco Bell. – Classic, you know? – Is this the one we did a thing for? – Yeah, when we did the fast food folk song, we had to order the Baja Blast because Taco Bell paid us to make that. But the Taco Bell that we went to didn’t know we were coming. – Boy. – It tasted a lot better back then, probably ’cause of the paycheck. (crew laughing) It tastes awful. – It doesn’t taste awful. – Are we still under no contractual obligation to say that it’s great? – No. – Are you sure? – No. – I don’t know. Listen, that contract, that was like a 2008 contract. Who knows? – It could have been in perpetuity. I think it was pretty good. – Love Baja Blast in perpetuity. – It was great. It was great. But I’m gonna give it a 50. – I’m gonna give it a 72 because I have not reread the contract. No, I like it. I like it. It’s good to me. It’s mild. A little bit of melon-y. It’s a blast from the Baja. – [Stevie] Sweet Lightning from KFC. – KFC. – Sweet Lightening? – Think about eating chicken with this or maybe a bowl. A KFC bowl. – It’s the color of urine. – Yeah. Yeah. Well, if your urine’s that color… – You’ve been eating a lot of chicken. – Yeah. – And not drinking any anything. – You’ve been drinking gravy. – Right. – As your only other liquid is gravy. – As my water. – I don’t like this one. – I did not like it. – It tastes like bananas. – It’s strange. – [Rhett] Do you taste the bananas? – No, but. – 42. – I’m gonna give it a 42, as well. Just for solidarity. – Yeah. Okay. On the same team. – Me and him. – Team 42. – [Stevie] Purple Thunder from Circle K. – I like the idea of this. I think Purple Thunder is the thing you can see. – I’s a weather phenomenon. – It’s a weather phenomenon. That’s good. That’s good. – There’s probably a channel that talks about that. – I’d circle the K for that. I’m gonna give it… – [Rhett] Would you go in, though? – They’d have to bring it out to me. – Okay. – I’m just gonna be circling. I’m gonna give that a 79. I liked it. It was grapeish, but mild enough to still be considered a Dew. – It’s not bad. 67. – [Stevie] Dark Berry Bash from Applebee’s. – Applebee’s. – Applebee’s got? I mean. – Try anything. Look at that. Look how- – Whoa! – Look how blue Applebee’s made it. – [Link] That is wild. – They were like, listen, we’ve got riblets. We’ll do anything. When’s the last time you had a riblet basket? – It’s been a long time. When I was a kid, I’d order that riblet basket. – They got a quesadilla burger that’s not bad. – Isn’t it just the offings of the ribs? Like… – There’s no ribs in it. – Like, Chili’s gets the ribs and then Applebee’s gets like, the part of the end of the rib. That’s like something that would be in like, an archeological dig of like, a caveman campfire. Oh, they’ve got- – Like a part of his kneecap or something. – They’ve used the bone wafers. They’ve been eating from the riblet baskets. – It’s very scientific. 40. Do you remember what it tasted like? – No. (crew laughing) – It wasn’t great. It was really, really blue. – It tastes like a riblet basket? – No, it tasted like they made it for someone who would like a riblet basket. And listen, this is coming from somebody who likes the McRib. – 50. – [Stevie] Maui Burst from Dollar General. – Okay. Give it a chance, y’all. – Dollar Generals, they’ll pop up. They’ll be somewhere in the country. You’ll be driving around the country and all of a sudden where there wasn’t anything yesterday, today, there’s a Dollar freaking General just out. I mean, I’m talking about in the middle of a field. – Yeah, they’re modular. – Back where we’re from, it’s like, it was nothing but fields and then I go back home and it’s still nothing but fields and a Dollar General. – Right. It’s part of the contract. You have to be able to erect one in about two weeks. Can I taste it again? Because it had a flavor in it that I’d pay at least a dollar for. – I’ll taste it again, too. – What is that? What is that flavor? – [Link] 44. – I thought it was a 59. – [Stevie] Overdrive from Casey’s. – What is that? – Can we get- – [Stevie] It’s a convenience store – Where? – Overdrive. – Casey’s. – Casey. Casey, come over here. Tell me about that Dew you got. You got a special Dew there? Is it orange? – These are all really starting to blend together. 52. – 50. – [Stevie] Based in Iowa. That’s why. – That explains it. – How’d you get hold of one? – [Stevie] Oh, it’s up in the Midwest. – Did we send someone to Iowa? – [Stevie] They have 2,500 stores. – All right. – [Stevie] Thrashed Apple from Kroger. – Okay, Kroger will pull a fast one on you. – How does one thrash an apple? – Okay, now that tastes like a sour apple Jolly Rancher with the edge taken off a little bit so it will be palatable for a drink. – Carbonated, of course. – Kroger doesn’t take a lot of chances. You know, they come outta the gate on sure footing. – I could drink eight ounces of this Thrash. – I’m gonna give it a 77. – When I hear the word thrash, I think about like, a dying lizard. Oh, gosh, don’t look at it. It’s thrashing. – Well, don’t let that influence your answer ’cause I feel like this one has a chance of getting to the final four. – Well, then I’d give it a 68. – [Stevie] Uproar from Food Lion. – You know what? Up yours! – Hold on. You said Food Lion? – [Stevie] Yeah. – Food Lion is sending an Uproar? – Do you remember the Food Lion guy, Tom? – Tom Smith. – Tom Smith. – Yeah. – Greatest commercials. Greatest commercials. – I love that Dew is showing some love to Food Lion and giving him a special grapefruit colored. Could it be pink flavored? – Pink flavored. – It’s not bad. What do you think the flavor is? – I mean, if you were to tell me which one of these will you match up with Food Lion, I would be like. that one. – Why? – I’ve been in a lot of Food Lions. I mean- – They’re clean. – Between 1984 and 1995, I’d say 90% of the things that went in this hole, came outta that hole was from Food Lion. So much Food Lion. I have been a portal for so much Food Lion. And then they built a Walmart and then we were like, well, we gotta go there. And then they built a Harris Teeter. My mom thought she was fancy. – She did. – I was like, we’re gonna go to the Harris Teeter now because they have like, a section where there’s more than one type of cheese. – You know what? The more you talk, the less I listen. I’m going 63. (crew laughing) I think it’s pretty good. 68. – [Stevie] You’ve now tasted every Mountain Day flavor available and your scores will now be tabulated so you may more closely judge your top four flavors. – A little wired, too, which is nice. (upbeat music) – Before we reveal our Final Four flavors, you know what? Today’s the last day you can get the My Hair Goes vinyl. That’s right! We redid the song that y’all been asking us to do for many, many years, now that my hair goes down, his hair goes up. You gotta join third degree quarterly or annual, plus you can get 15% off today only using code MyHair15. Okay? mythicalsociety.com. Get it. Last day! – [Stevie] Okay, according to you, the top four flavors in no particular order are Thrashed Apple, Purple Thunder, Original. – Original! – [Stevie] And Spark. And before you collectively crown your fave, Rhett’s favorite flavor was Pineapple Orange Mango. – Kickstart. – [Stevie] And Link’s actually was a tie between Pitch Black and Purple Thunder. – Oh, so my flavor is right there. – Actually, I really like this. It’s got 10% juice and coconut water. So, let’s pour these into our things here so we can just have a little bit of a tasty taste. I love this can. Look at that. That thing is… Spark. See, now I’m being told by the can itself. It’s a blast of raspberry lemonade. Did not know that. The original. – And Purple Thunder is just a blast of berry plum. – Berry plum. – Berry plum. What’s that? That’s a made up fruit. – I don’t know what you’re saying. – [Rhett] Y’all made up a fruit, Mountain Dew. – That Thrashed Apple, boy. Is it too candy like? I don’t know. – The thing about it is that in a taste test of every flavor, the flavors that stand out and do a little something different, they get some extra points. – Yeah. – And I think that’s what is happening with the Apple. – [Link] Now, I’ve already said that Purple Thunder is one of my flav-rites. – It’s not bad. Original. – There’s nothing like… Nothing has the bite like the carbonation of the original. – It’s funny how, even though I don’t really like Mountain Dew, when I come back to it, it feels better than the flavored ones. – This one is so sour. I mean, raspberry lemonade, but it’s like- – [Rhett] I kind of like it. – I know, man. So listen, I’m saying that the Thrashed Apple’s gotta go. – I don’t feel its that strong about it, so okay. – It’s too gimmicky and it just doesn’t have the staying power. – These are the best two in my mind. I thought that Purple Thunder. – This is still the best in my mind. – You think Purple Thunder is better than original? – It has a weird aftertaste. All right. You know what? – I don’t think so, man. – We will put this at number three ’cause I’m fine with that because now that I’ve reassessed these. – I’m actually really, really torn between these two. – I know. – Now that I’m just tasting original. It’s a better can and the Sparks got a good can. – It just got a punch to it, man. And look at that can. It’s beautiful. – Well, hold on. Okay, let me. There’s a car. A car literally eating a raspberry. – There you go. There you go. – I mean, I think that’s enough to put it over the top for me. – So we’re gonna put the Mountain Dew original. – And that means- – Hold on. We gotta dress him up first. It means we’re gonna dress him up. – The king. (panting) Of the Mountain Dew is Spark! – What? (firecrackers popping) – Look at him up there. (trombone playing) There’s that daggone 24th trombone. (crew laughing) – [Stevie] 23rd. – 23rd. (laughing) – 23rd. Thank you, Stevie. I just added one to the number that I thought. The 23rd trombone was Josh this whole time? – Because we just wrapped up the 23rd season of Good Mythical Morning. (crew applauding) – (cheers) Hey! – And remember, the marathon is next Wednesday, so come back for that. And then the week after, the start of Good Mythical Summer. The fun does continue. – Hey, thank you to the crew for another incredible season. Thank you to you for being here for your boys for another season. And you know what? We’ll come back. We’re gonna do it again. Thanks for subscribing to clicking that bell. – You know what time it is! (firecrackers popping) – I’m Natalia. – I’m Peyton. – And this is Marcy. – [Both] And we’re from Chicago, Illinois. – And we’re about to do a Mountain Dew taste test on an empty stomach. – And it’s time to spin the Wheel of Mythicality. – Don’t do it! – Do it! – Click the top link to see who can solve your problems better, us or AI, in Good Mythical More. – And to find out where the Wheel of Mythicality is gonna land. – [Rhett] Today’s the last day to get the My Hair Goes vinyl.
