GMM 2425: How Many Calories In This Junk Food?

Stand back, it’s time for Snack Blackjack. – Let’s talk about that. (playful music) Good mythical summer. – Do you know what happened exactly 127 days ago? – Of course I do. 127 days ago, I blew my chance at winning the second-ever game of Snack Blackjack by busting in the final round. But 2,407 days ago, I did win the inaugural Snack Blackjack. – Oh yeah, I didn’t realize that today was the dreaded 2,407th-day anniversary of that fateful event. I guess that makes this the all-important rubber match. Who will emerge as the king of the deck? It’s time for Snack Blackjack. Hit me baby one more time. Welcome to the Snack Blackjack casino zone. – If only we had a dealer. – Yeah. – With tongs. (Rhett and Link screaming) – Stevie! (Rhett laughing) (Link speaking gibberish) – Hello, boys. – You gotta warn us. – Who’s ready to play some Snack Blackjack? – Me! – You know how this works. It’s like blackjack that you play with cards, but it’s with foods. – Yeah, yeah, yeah. – Which makes it tastier. – Snack, hmm. – Yeah, so every round you’re gonna be completing your own meal. You’re gonna choose from delicious items that abound behind us. Everything is worth a certain amount of calories, which is the factual amount of calories that the thing is worth. – Okay. – Okay. – And I’m gonna give you an number of calories each round. You cannot exceed those calories with your builds. If you do, you bust, just like in the blackjack that we know. – And do you hurt us if we bust? Do you hit us with those? – Yes. You’ll be physically- – Yikes. – Punished with my tongs. – Okay, I mean- – No. – You seem like you’re gonna get violent. That’s all I’m saying. – It does feel nice to have a little something in your hand, you know? – Right. – I’m being quiet, if you notice. (laughing) – The loser will be named the caloric court joker and must perform a song and dance of fealty. – Oh yes. – Whenever the winner says, “Hit me,” in Good Mythical Morning. Fealty: are you familiar with that word? – Yeah, it’s like realty. – Yeah. – But when you serve somebody. – Right – Sure. Well let’s just, let’s play. (jazzy music) Okay, first round is the- – Hit me! – Burger round. I will be hitting you, but not with my tongs. With these funnel buns. – [Link] Oh, for real? – [Stevie] Yeah. – [Rhett] Whoa. – [Stevie] You’re making a cool burger. – [Link] Look at that! Dang! – And Rhett, you’ll have ramen buns, sir. – I want those. – Ramen buns are cool, though. – I want your buns. – You’ll take the buns that I give you. – [Rhett] Okay. – Your calorie count this round is 1,300, and Link, you may choose first. – See, this thing is greasy, so I’m already at some calories. – [Stevie] Mm hm. – [Rhett] Some calories, that’s true. – What’s a a burger without a burger? Let’s see. Do I want the beef or the Impossible Beef? – [Stevie] Ooh, I get to use my tongs for this. – You know what, I’m gonna go Impossible Beef; one patty. – Look at these tongs. – [Link] ‘Cause I think this is less calories, and I want more stuff on my burger. – Okay, well I won’t be a copycat. I’ll go with real beef. – [Stevie] Okay. – One patty. Thank you. – [Stevie] Touch it. – [Rhett] I’m touching it. – Kinda thinking what kind of cheese options? Blue cheese, mac and cheese, American cheese. You know what? I’m gonna go with a whole mac and cheese serving as my cheese on my burger. – I’ll take- – [Link] Right there. – Two slices of American cheese. – Oh boy. – You doubling up? – Product, cheese product. It’s not really cheese. We get sued if we say it’s cheese. – By who? – The Cheese Board. (laughing) See, the Cheese Board? Get it? – There’s something so odd about this presentation. – Thank you for giving me two pieces of cheese in two cups. – Scoop. Now what, what do I want on top of this? I feel like I need something that’s gonna make me feel healthy. Dang, that’s a lot of mac and cheese. 1,300 calories. You know what? Fried pickles. Fried pickles. Pickles don’t have any calories. – Correct. – And then when you fry ’em- – They don’t add any, ’cause if you start with none, it doesn’t matter what happens. It’s always zero. (person laughing off-camera) So you’re doing nothing, right? – [Link] I know that’s adding some, but. – I would like two slices of bacon. – [Stevie] Okay. – Can you touch that? I know… – Two servings, or two- – It’s not kosher. Can you touch it? Is it okay if you touch it? – Yeah, I will touch it. (laughing) Here you go. Do you want one serving, which is apparently two slices? – Yes. – Okay. – Thank you. I’ll touch it. – Ew, look at that. – It’s a little greasy, my bacon bucket. Oh, I gotta keep doing my math. I’m doing math over here. You doing math? – No, of course not. I’m trying to think like, how many calories is a Big Mac? Just as like a point of reference. Because by law they have to put that on the menus. But that’s not the part that I look at. – ‘Cause you don’t follow the law. You’re a renegade. – But I’m tempted to just not push this ’cause I think I just need a little something. Just a little something. I need one tablespoon of mayonnaise. – Mm. – Mm. – Mm. – Uh huh. – Touch it. – And place it. Here we go. Okay. (smacking lips) – Okay, you’re done? – My turn is done. – Oh, okay. Man, you know what would be good on this? A cup of chili. – I mean, that’s a decent burger. – I’m actually going with more of like a theme. I want it to be good. – [Link] Well, that’s a lot of chili on your burger. (Rhett slapping cup) Yeah. Ooh, that is, what’s happening? I, Stevie. – [Stevie] Yes? You’re Link. – No, I, Link, Stevie. – [Stevie] Uh huh? – Am going to rest easy. What’s it called? – Stay. – I’m going to rest easy. – And this game is called Rest Easy. – I’m gonna stay. – Okay. – I’m holding. – Okay, so you’re confident that’s under 1,300 calories? – Well, I hope so. – [Stevie] Okay. – You feel like you need some more? – [Rhett] Yeah, I definitely need some more. – [Link] Keep going. – This is gonna be tough, but I’m gonna do an egg. – [Stevie] Ooh! – (hissing) Big boy! Big boy’s taking a chance. – How many calories do you think is in that egg? I mean, it’s not gonna impact me, I’m held. – Uh, one egg? A hundred? – Apparently, you’re not doing the math. – A hundred? – A hundred? – Okay. – You resting easy? – I’m resting easy over here. – [Link] Okay. – Yours is definitely bigger than mine. – Ooh! (laughing) – There you go. – All right, beautiful burgers, boys. – And should we name them? I call this one The White Robin. – Why? (people laughing off-camera) – Because there’s a lot of white in the middle, and it seems like something that they wouldn’t do at Red Robin. – Oh, okay. – Okay. – [Stevie] A White Robin. – [Rhett] I call mine the Messy Munchkin. (people laughing off-camera) – Okay, let’s see how you did. (jazzy music) Rhett, you started with ramen noodle burger buns for 360 calories. – [Rhett] Oh, crap! – You added a beef patty for 240 calories, and two American cheese slices for 50 calories each for a total of 100 calories; bacon for 90 calories; chili for 260 calories, and a sunny side up egg for 79 calories bringing your total to 1,129. – Okay, yeah. All right, not bad. – White Robin. – Oh, that’s really good, man. You’re shaving up against 1,300. – I was trying to shoot like a hundred under, so I miscalculated a couple of things, but it ended up balancing each other out. – White Robin, you started with funnel cake buns for 220 calories, one Impossible Beef patty for 230 calories, a serving of mac and cheese for 500 calories, fried pickles for 160 calories, and a serving a mayonnaise for 90 calories, bringing your total to 1,200. – Oh! – That’s perfect! – No, he won! – I won! – That’s perfect! – I thought you were at 12-something, not 11-something. That’s why I was so impressed. – Dang it, that that mac and cheese- – White Robin, yeah baby! – Mac and cheese? 500 calories worth of mac and cheese? – Yeah. – Uh huh. – Who knew that the ramen noodle burger buns were worth more calories than the funnel buns? – I did. – I don’t buy it. (people laughing off-camera) Yeah, you get to eat it. I’m not gonna eat mine. I didn’t win. – Oh my God, your jaw noises. (all laughing) – Sorry. – Yeah, welcome to the club, Stevie. (Stevie laughing) (jazzy music) – It’s time for the round you’ve all been waiting for, yes. – The next one. – Yes! – Yeah. – Summer Family Picnic round where you get to build your own little picnic trays and the calorie count goes all the way up to 2,500. – [Link] Oh, snap. – Let me start you out, Link, with some macaroni salad. – [Link] Okay. – And Rhett, some deviled eggs of which I only believe there are two, but I will be having one up later. – I was gonna say, they’re both for me, but okay- – Okay, that seems mean now, but- – [Rhett] All right, I mean. All right, you get one. – Would you like to go first only if I could have one of those? – Sure, okay. Let’s see, we don’t need to get too precious here at the beginning here. You know what- – It’s a picnic. Picnics shouldn’t be precious. – You know what? I mean, I’m just thinking, give me 10 pigs in a blanket. I mean, why not? – Oh, man! – 10 servings, or two servings of five? – Two servings. – Oh, okay. – I was gonna take all three servings. – Okay, well, you can, you can because they- – [Link] Oh, ’cause they get come back? – [Rhett] They get replenished. – Yeah. – Yeah, yeah. – Link, we have a magic machine that every time you take a pig in a blanket, they just bring more. – Thank you, V. – I want all three servings. That’s the max I can take in a round of pigs in the blankets, because this is a great way to start off any picnic. – I’ll take all the beans. All the beans. – [Stevie] All the beans. – I’ll take all the beans. (Stevie laughing) I’ll take all the beans. Now don’t you be taking all the beans, now. – I don’t want your beans. – Okay, good. – That’s not my kind of picnic. – Good! – I’m not at one of those picnics where like, you lose a kid in the woods and then all of a sudden that’s all it’s about is finding the kid in the woods. (people laughing off-camera) – Yeah, I hate those picnics. – You know what? I, lobster roll? What kind of picnic is this? I’m gonna, (scoffing) well, okay. We’re gettin’ fancy. Gimme that lobster roll. – Okay, I’m gonna touch it. Oh, my tongs, sorry. I forgot. Oh, my tongs! – That is nice. Oh yes, your tongs. (people laughing off-camera) I don’t kn&ow, what? – What do we got going here? What do we got going here? We got pinwheel sandwiches. – No, standing! – I have to get a good look at these kebabs. Oh. – Sit down! Tell him to sit down! – Sit down please. (people laughing off-camera) – [Link] It’s too much. – I’ll take all the corn. – Oh, my goodness. Oh, my tongs. (laughing) – Yeah, I’ll take all the corn. – Again, you’re not hurting me ’cause there’s more corn. – Right. And we can use the corn to lure the kid out of the woods, ’cause (laughing). – Corn! That’s what you say: “Corn time!” And the boys come running. – Yeah. (laughing) I’m talking about the lost child, okay? I’m talking about the one that got lost and we need to find him. – [Link] Corn! – Like Chad at camp, remember that? – Yeah. – He ruined camp. – [Link] Um, I think I gotta get. – (laughing) Corn? – I don’t want corn. – Okay. (people laughing) – Coleslaw; there we go. – [Stevie] One? – Three. – [Stevie] Oh, okay. – We’re going tall, ’cause I feel like I gotta feed everybody at the picnic. – Yeah, and if that kid finds somebody in the woods and brings a friend, then we gotta feed everybody. I want… Can I take multiple things from multiple places in one round, or is it just I have to pick one? – No, no, no. No, and please don’t stand anymore. (people laughing off-camera) – Okay. (Stevie laughing) – You might get lost. Standing is one step closer to being in the woods. – I want all the drumsticks, Chad! – Oh, I’m not Chad. (laughing) – I mean, we gotta keep racking it up. French onion dip, huh? I feel like I need some crunch. I’m gonna go with Doritos, and I’m gonna go, I’m gonna triple up again. – [Stevie] Okay. – Tripleupaggen. It’s like a rare bird. Oh, I spotted the tripleupaggen. – Look at that. Look at what I’ve done. – And it has to be here. – Wow, I’m really close over here. (Link crunching) So that drumstick was a bold move. Let’s go with one serving of French onion dip. And I am standing. – Staying. – I’m standing, ’cause I can if I want, Chad! – I might be standing, too. I’m not Chad. – I’m staying. – I think you’re being very conservative here. This is over twice the amount of calories to build our burger, and I feel like I’m not that much further beyond burger territory except for these pigs in the blanket. I will take two pinwheel sandwiches, please. And then I will take one- – Oh, I don’t know where you want these in your scheme. – One… – No, you can only take from one category. – Well he’s- – Oh, he’s- – He’s done, yeah, yeah, yeah. – I’m so sorry. – So your turn again. – Okay, fine. You can stand up too, if you want. – Just me and Chad over here under the leaves. – Don’t want to. – Trying not to freeze. – Too heavy; I gotta go back here. – Don’t watch you? – It was summertime. It wasn’t even that cold, as far as I recall. – I wasn’t there. – The thing that I’m gonna do right now is one drumstick. – Stevie Okay. – Cone. And I don’t know why no one got the beef kebobs. Am I good y’all? – I mean, I have done math, but I don’t trust it. – I am going to take a watermelon. – Ooh, half mini watermelon. – It’s basically no calories there, but I need the fruit hydration. Best way to get hydrated. – [Stevie] Ooh, risky, risky move. – Okay, there we go. And finally I will stand. – Okay. – Stay, okay. – And I will hold. – Let’s see. – Stay. (cups tumbling) – Oh, (screaming). Chad! I know you did this! – Let’s see how you did. (jazzy music) – Link, you were served a macaroni salad for 240 calories. – [Link] Oh, snap. – [Stevie] You got three servings of pigs in a blanket for 310 calories each for a total of 930 calories, one lobster roll for 380 calories, three servings of coleslaw for 180 calories each. – [Link] Slow down. – [Stevie] Bringing that to 540 calories. Three servings of Doritos at 150 calories each for 450 calories, two pinwheel sandwiches at 165 calories each for 330 calories, one drumstick cone for 280 calories, and one watermelon for 120 calories, bringing your total to 3,270 calories. – Boo! (buzzer buzzing) Busted! – You did. – Got busted big time. – Yeah boy, once you went into the pinwheel territory, I was like, you’re already over, brother. You got to feed that to the little boy in the woods. (people laughing off-camera) – And Rhett- – That hurts. I bet you’re over, too. – I think I’m close; I don’t know. – You were served one deviled egg for 168 calories, two servings of pigs in a blanket for 310 calories each for 620 calories, three servings of baked beans 150 calories each for 450 calories, three corns on the cobs at 123 calories for a total of 369 calories, three drumstick cones at 280 each for a total of 840 calories. – [Rhett] My math is working out, I think. – And one serving of French onion dip for 60 calories. Bringing your total to 2,507 calories. – Dang it! I almost didn’t get this! – You busted, yes! (clapping) Whoo! – I almost, I got this to be cute, Chad! (people laughing off-camera) I was like, I know there’s no way my math is going this well. I know I’m underestimating. Dang it! – I love it when I can see the rage in your eyes. (Rhett screaming) (jazzy music) We’re sitting here debating the calories in foods and, but we’re not actually debating. – No, if Chad was here we would be. (laughing) – Right. But you know who does debate food topics? Mythical Chef Josh and Mythical Chef Nicole over there on “A Hotdog is a Sandwich,” the podcast, which you need to check out. And you know what? It’s very easy because it’s now moved back to the Mythical Kitchen YouTube channel along with all the other Mythical Kitchen content. So catch “A Hotdog is a Sandwich” every single week at Mythical Kitchen’s YouTube channel. – Please. – And they don’t really debate calories. – No, that’s what we- – It’s much more exciting. – They debate better food. – Real, real food opinions. – Well, speaking of calories, it’s the Taco Bell round. – I see that. – And your calorie count limit is raised for the third round up to 3,500. – I’m seething, Stevie. – Oh. – ‘Cause you were so close? There’s no way you can win – 2,507 calories? I mean, do we even know that those seven calories are real? I mean, like how accurate are these calorie counts? It’s probably not that accurate. I probably did it. – Listen, listen, I know you’re upset, and I know you got really close, so I do wanna acknowledge that. So even though the best you could technically do is tie- – You’re just guessing, man! – I’m just over here going on instinct, which is working, and I’m not gonna apologize for it. – Yeah. You only missed it by like 800 calories last time. – If you beat me in this round, instead of just tying, if you also get within 127 calories of the correct answer, I’ll let you have the win. – Oh. – In honor of the 127 days since last time. – Oh. – That you got the win. – I thought it was like “127 Hours” the movie. I thought you was like. – Don’t talk about that ’cause- – Okay. – That creeps me out. – Yeah, okay. – How many calories in a Baja Blast is what you’ll be starting with. – Oh. – Look at that. – Refreshing, and a Mexican pizza. – Oh, wow. Don’t tell Christy about this. – Christy loves Mexican pizza. – I can’t even get into it. I don’t know why. – Sir, I believe it is your turn to pick from the menu. – Well, we got, I could go with more drinks with the root beer. – So specific- – I wanna go with the thing I think has the most calories. Chalupa supreme, or beefy five-layer burrito. I’m gonna go with beefy five-layer burrito, and I’m not gonna be shy about it, I’m gonna get two of them. (wrapper crinkling) That is beefy. That’s some calories, Rhett. – See how quickly we got more? – It’s magical. – Wow. – [Link] It’s manual. – I’ll take all the bean and cheese burritos. I represent the bean brigade here. Always doing my best for the bean people. You know who you are. We love beans! – So we have a breakfast California crunch wrap. Huh. You know what, I’m gonna take some of those chalupa supremes, two of those. – Okay, would you like them to be tonged? – Yeah, tong ’em. Tong my chalupas. (all laughing) Yes. (sniffing) Greasy. Pleasey. – I’ll do all the volcano tacos. – What even is that? – [Rhett] I don’t know; we’re gonna find out. – I would like some fiery sauce packets, just because I need that. – [Stevie] Which one? – Oh, just one of the sauce packets. I want the hottest one you got. – Is that the diablo? – Yeah, diablo. Here we go, just one. All right. – Two of the medium Mug root beers. – [Stevie] Oh boy. – Oh gosh, oh no, don’t, don’t you dare! – Thank you. – It’s not glued. Two of those, huh? Going in for the refill. – I did, it all by myself. – I’m going to get the thing that I always get at Taco Bell. It’s a safe bet. No complaints. Chicken quesadilla. I will take one of those. (wrapper crinkling) (Link clucking) 3,500 calories. I mean this is a lot more than I’d actually eat. I have no business eating all this. – I’m going to take… – Cinnamon twists? – I was looking at ’em for sure. Two servings of, no, no, no. I’m gonna take one serving. Oh crap, I’m falling apart. I’m gonna take, you know what? I’ve gotta get within 127 calories. I’m taking a chance. I’m getting two servings of chips and nacho cheese sauce. – I’m gonna not talk now. – And I am going to stay under my pile of leaves. – [Link] So you’re standing but you’re not gonna stand up? – Correct. – Okay. I am also standing, but I’m gonna remain seated. – Okay. – Okay. (jazzy music) Things are getting heated, and it’s not just ’cause of the hot sauce. Rhett, you need 3,373 up to 3,500 to be in your 127 zone. – [Rhett] Okay. – Link, we’re gonna start with you. I served you a medium Baja Blast for 280 calories. You grabbed two beefy five-layer burritos for 490 calories each for a total of 980 calories, two chalupa supremes for 360 calories each for a total of 720 calories, a hot sauce packet serving for 10 calories- – [Link] Right. – And a chicken quesadilla for 520 calories bringing your total to 2,510 calories. – Okay, I played it conservative, I stand by it. – Rhett. (Rhett groaning) I served you a Mexican pizza for 530 calories. You grabbed three bean and cheese burritos for 350 calories each for a total of 1,050 calories, three volcano tacos at 240 each for a total of 720, two medium Mug root beers for 240 calories each for a total of 480 calories, two chips and nacho cheese servings for 220 calories for a total of 440 calories bringing your total to 3,220 calories. – Dang, dude, you’re so close! – But guys, I have really good news. – What? We tied. – I have two hats, and you both get to say, “Hit me” at the other guy, and then the other guy gets to do a dance, so we all win. I hurt myself. (people laughing off-camera) – Sorry, you hit your elbow? – This is the most unsatisfying tie in history! – I’m not as frustrated as him.
