Can we be tricked into going vegan? – Let’s talk about that. (gentle upbeat music) Good Mythical Summer! – I’m gonna ask this scary question, but I want us to be brave and spend this entire episode trying to answer it. – Okay. – So don’t cry or scream about it. – Okay. – Okay? Could we go vegan? (Rhett screams and cries) – I can’t do it. It’s too scary. – There, there, buddy. The truth is I think that we would have to be tricked into it. – I’m totally open to that. – It’s time for: Quick! Spot The Non-Vegan Food Before You Anger A Small Percentage Of Very Vocal Vegans! (upbeat music) As you can see, we can’t. – [Stevie] Each round, you’ll be presented with one dish prepared using three different recipes. Two will be vegan, one will not be. The vegan dishes will contain varying vegan substitutes for key ingredients. And you’re gonna place your hand over the dish you think is the non-vegan option. And the winner of the game will receive an empty Veganaise jar filled with compliments from the chef. – Oh. – Oh! – Okay. – And the chef for all of these is Trevor? – [Trevor] Trevor. – Trevor? – Trevor. – You’re there? – [Trevor] I’m here. – Okay. – He’s there. – [Stevie] We’re gonna kick things off with chocolate chip cookies. They are in front of you, so feel around. – So we have to believe, I mean, we’re, we’re, you know. What we’re testing here is that we think that we’re gonna think that the non-vegan one is always the best, right? – Yeah. – That’s what we think we’re gonna think. But could we be wrong? – [Link] Hmm. Hmm. That’s a good cookie, but Trevor, Trevor don’t make a bad cookie. – Trevor’s known for his baking prowess. – [Stevie] Wrong plate. Link. – [Link] Oh gosh. Am I on the right way? – [Stevie] Yes. – [Link] Yes, and now I’ve done that. – Did you put the right one on the wrong one? Did you put the right one on the right one? – I put the wrong one on the wrong one and then I put the right one on the right one. Having done, well, I’ve done it all, man. But all is right. – Okay. – Well, this cookie’s taller. I’ll give you that. Does being vegan make you taller? – Well, I hope not. I mean, I don’t know what, how that would make sense. I just said something ’cause I’m tall and I wanted to respond in a strong, a strong way. I’m open to being vegan. I really am. But not if it makes me taller. – Okay. Oh, and this one’s taller too, see. – I wanna be shorter. Hmm. – [Link] This is the cakiest cookie. – What are you tasting for? – The best cookie. – They’re all pretty good. – [Link] This one’s cakiest. I mean, I’m not keeping anything from you. – Does cakey make it vegan? – No, it just makes it the tallest one. Hmm. Dang. This is tough. I mean, if I can only go vegan for cookies, I’m gonna be okay. – Yeah. – Hey. It’s a deal! It’s a deal. We’re going cookie vegan. All right. – All three cookies are good, man. Great job, Trevor. – [Stevie] You’re gonna put your hand over the non-vegan one. Three. – Oh crap. I wasn’t even. – [Stevie] I knew it. – You knew that was gonna happen. – [Stevie] The one that you think is not vegan. – Okay. – [Stevie] Three, two, one. – Oh, what are you doing? – I’m on the second one. – I’m on the first one. – I see, I couldn’t tell, man. – Because I, if two of ’em were tall and two of ’em are vegan, then I went with a short one that’s non-vegan even though I liked all of them. – [Stevie] The non-vegan cookie is made with regular butter and on plate A. – Yeah, you can, now you can see it, you know? When you see it. – [Stevie] But the two other cookies- – I didn’t need to see. – [Stevie] That you liked that had swapped out ingredients, plate B used coconut oil instead of butter and plate C used mashed sweet potatoes instead of butter. – What? – [Trevor] Crazy, right? – Makes it so tall. But again- – And fine. – Taste wise. – So great. What do you actually prefer, Trevor, of these three? – [Trevor] I’m a classic cookie man. – Okay. – [Trevor] But the coconut oil was pretty, pretty good. Pretty good. – No, I thought this one was great. – I thought this was- – It’s my favorite. – This was my favorite tasting one. That’s why I chose it. So maybe I’m a coconut. – I’m cookie vegan. Are you? – I think I am. I’m coconut cookie vegan. – Yo. We are. (upbeat music) – [Stevie] It’s time for a little mac and cheese. – Oh. – Okay. – Hey, echolocate it. Echolocate it, Link. (fork taps) – Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. I. Okay. Does it sound like I’ve echolocated it? – Yeah, I think that’s one version of echolocation. – [Trevor] Like, just so you know, this is the tallest mac and cheese that you’re tasting right now. – Thank you Trevor. Well, that’s interesting. – It’s got some interesting flavors going on. Am I still tasting a cookie? – Is it the cheese is weird or there’s something else added? It’s good, though. – There’s another flavor. – It has a good, good cheese. – [Rhett] And also it might have weird cheese. – Hmm. Aftertaste is a bit weird. (crew laughs) – This is really good. (crew laughs) – It’s not as tall. – Man. Boy, that’s tasty. – It’s freakin’ spicy. – So spicy. – Why is the mac and cheese spicy, Trevor? – [Trevor] Spices. – It’s got spices in it. – Did you add those to cover up the vegan-ness or was that part of it? – [Trevor] It was part of the recipe. – Okay. Interesting. And then, ugh, you just got it on the back of my hand, man. – Your hand touch this? – [Link] No, you touched my hand with it. This one’s not spicy. – [Rhett] You know. – I’m confused that one of ’em is spicy. Why would you do that? – [Trevor] To throw you off? – [Rhett] Yeah, he is trying to cover something up for show. – Well, again, none of these are bad. So here we are looking like jerks for blindly hating on, I just need a little comfort. (crew laughs) I don’t wanna go vegan. (crew laughs) My arm is hot now. Ah, nothing. – Did I drop something? Did I drop any? – Yeah, and I’m getting nothing. – You getting some air bites? – Yeah. You wanna lick it off my arm? No, don’t. – [Stevie] Okay, again. You’re looking for the non-vegan option. The one you think is not vegan. – Don’t worry Stevie, I got you. – [Stevie] Three, two, one. – Oh! I was trying to be sneaky. Nah, this is, I feel very strongly that that, oh crap, I’ve done it again. I meant to vote for this one. Do you believe me? – No. (Rhett laughs) – It’s easy to believe me. – What do you mean? What are you trying to say? – I keep voting for the one that I like the least. – [Rhett] Keep? You got it right the first round. – [Stevie] That’s why I keep stressing. – I know. – [Stevie] Before you vote, what you’re supposed to vote for, and this time you said, “I got it, Stevie.” – Yeah, I feel like you had every opportunity there, to be honest with you. – Yep. I brought this on myself. It’s ’cause you burned me. – [Stevie] Okay, the non-vegan option made with real cheese- – I didn’t mean to vote for that. – [Stevie] Is in bowl number C. – Yeah. – Yeah. – [Stevie] And the other two- – I will say that that was obvious having gone back. – Yeah. – But when I tasted ’em before tasting this, I was like maybe. – Okay. – And that’s what vegans do. – This is some kind of nut cheese, isn’t it? – [Stevie] Yep, that’s cashew cheese. – Yeah. – [Stevie] Or cashews. And then the bowl B was made with coconut milk. – And the spices. – This is flavorless. Super flavorless. This actually tasted better. – Well, hold on there. It’s, so you- – I know, I mean the spices were flavorful. The cheese is flavorless. The cashew cheese is actually, I mean the consistency is bad, but taste wise? – Yep. Neither one of ’em are good. – Still bad. – [Stevie] I was just informed. I said bowl number C and I am aware that C is a letter, but I’m having a difficult time, I suppose. I’m sorry, Link. Link, I would like to apologize to you. – See how hard it is to not have a hard time? – [Stevie] Exactly. – You know what? I would’ve gone the rest of my life not realizing anything was wrong with bowl number C. (upbeat music) – [Stevie] Moving on to brownies. – Okay. – [Rhett] So, if cookies were so easy to make good, brownies are gonna be easier to make good. – What? It’s ugh. – That’s a gooey brownie. – This is the gooey gooey. – There’s nothing wrong with that. – That might be good. Oh yeah, it’s, yeah, you’re right, ’cause it’s got that, it’s got that like fudgey sheet on the bottom. – [Rhett] Ugh. – Ugh! – It really got hard on the bottom. – Ah! Oh! Ew! What is it? – There’s a banana flavor in those that I don’t know is intentional. Now this is a normal brownie. – Gow! Why’s it got banana? I guess because it’s vegan. – [Rhett] It might have banana flour. Did you just set it down next to it? (crew laughs) Man, don’t be defiling my part of the desk. – And then I just couldn’t, if I chewed that up, it’d be all in my teeth and I handle the others. – I’ve gotta go lefthanded. You got my whole right hand all covered up. Now I’m going lefthanded. I’ve never grabbed any food with my left hand. – This one is cakey. Mm! (Trevor laughs) No banana, though. (crew laughs) What are you doing, dude? Don’t you do that. Do I have it all now? – Or you got the bigger one. – It’s kind of- – I just want, I was mad at you. – For what? – For putting your brownie down on my spot and missing. – I don’t like to bite the corner so I’m trying to find the soft point. Hmm. Hmm. – Can I have the big one that you’ve been eating? – Yeah. (crew laughs) Didn’t mean to caress you like that with it. – Is this the big one on the third plate? – Yeah. This one? Hmm. Hmm. All right. – Hold on. – Stevie, I got you this time. Don’t you worry. I understand the assignment. – [Stevie] Okay, – I’m gonna pick the one that is not vegan. – [Stevie] Yes. Three, two, one. – Ha ha ha! Ha ha! Ah. – Yeah, we’re right, man. – Yeah. See, it’s obvious. – [Stevie] The non-vegan option made with eggs is on plate number B. – Yeah. – Now what happened with eggs? – It wasn’t great though, Trevor. – [Stevie] So. Oh. – Yeah, it was. – [Trevor] I’m sorry? – Hold on, Yes, it was. It tasted like something you get from like a roadside- – [Link] It was a bit too cakey. – [Rhett] Brownie stand. – But it was better than this one. – That one was good too, though. This one, we need to understand what happened. – Well, bananas. – [Stevie] Well, yeah. So A was prepared with ripe bananas instead of eggs. Eggs. And C- – Eggs. – [Stevie] Was prepared with applesauce instead of eggs. – Really? It’s actually pretty good. – Not bad. – But the, you said rotten bananas? – [Stevie] Ripe. Ripe bananas. – That’s not a good idea. – Trevor, do you endorse any of these alternatives personally? – [Trevor] I would personally endorse the applesauce if you are looking for, you know, a vegan option. – [Link] Yeah, it is okay. – [Trevor] Yeah, it gets there. – I think it’s better than okay, personally, I thought, I almost ended up choosing it. But when I went back to B, I was like, oh no, that’s a regular brownie. – That’s the thing about vegan. – You can’t compare it. – If you, if you don’t have B at all, then you could, you can talk yourself into a place. – That’s why a lot of vegans don’t have non-vegan friends, ’cause they don’t wanna compare their foods. – Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. They like to be in isolation. – Yeah, right. (upbeat music) – Oh man, we had a good time last night. – We had so much- – So good. – We had so much fun. – We can’t let light into our eyes anymore. We’re just, we’re in these shady shades just to keep the headaches down. You know what? If you missed it, you can- – It was crazy. – It was crazy, man. – It was wild. – So wild. – It was NSFW. – But here’s the thing. If you didn’t join us for “Good Mythical Evening” when it happened live, you can actually join us with a video on demand version and enjoy it just like you were there, except we probably won’t be reacting to the specific things that you tell us to do because it already happened. But that’s the only way you can enjoy it. And you can only enjoy it through September 5th. After that, it is gone forever. So get that VOD. Get that video on demand. VOD GME. Mythical, what do we call it? – [Both] Goodmythicalevening.com. – I already forgot what you call it. – [Stevie] Okay, we got some cheesecake here for ya. – Oh. – Is it hand cake or is it fork cake? – [Stevie] It’s fork cake. – Got a forkey. – Ah, I love hand cakes. – And I’m choking up on my fork. – Yeah, like T-ball. Like you did in T-ball. – Yep, yep, yep. I feel it. Oh. – I normally don’t do that to my cheesecake before I, well. – That’s quite a thin cheesecake. – I didn’t get a lot. Man- – So a cheese-less cheesecake, huh? – We’re getting really good at eating in the dark. – Yeah. – You know what I’m saying? Like- – Blackout. – When the world ends- – Blackout boys. – When the big blackout happens- – We’ll still be nourished. – I mean, we’ll be the only ones in our family that still eat. – Well that was- – I probably, I’d probably teach the family how to eat with their, with the blindfolds on. Just start it now. (crew laughs) – [Stevie] You actually were doing really well this episode until right after you said that. – ‘Til you built it up. – [Stevie] And then you both took a invisible bite. – Comedy. (crew laughs) (Rhett chuckles) – Hmm, I don’t know what I think of number two yet. – You stink it? You don’t know what you stink of it? – [Link] I don’t know what I stink of it. – [Trevor] Do you wanna know which one’s tallest? – No. (crew laughs) (crew laughs) – Oh! God! – You tasted that? Me and you both. It tastes like green beans! (Trevor laughs) – Oh my God! – Why does it taste like asparagus? – Let me, let me get more, let me get back. – Oh my, oh! Say the blessing, kids. And then don’t ever open your eyes. That’s how we’re gonna learn to dine in the dark. – All right. – [Link] You’re not ready, dude? Isn’t it obvious? – Yeah, I wanted to make sure, man. – [Stevie] Three, the non-vegan one. Two, one. Okay, you’re both over B. You’re both correct. That was the one made with Dairy cream cheese. – And you know what? – [Stevie] Yeah, plate C. – What? I thought it was gonna be green and putrid. – [Stevie] Plate C was made with hummus for some reason. – [Link] Hummus? Why? – [Rhett] Yeah. Trevor. Trevor. Is that something people do? – [Trevor] I don’t think so. (Rhett laughs) – You just did it? – [Trevor] Well, people use hummus I guess as a substitute for cream cheese, and so, you know, cheesecake made with a lot of cream cheese. – In your dreams, man. – [Stevie] And then A had cheesecake made with unsweetened plain vegan yogurt. – I went back to it just to confirm and it was confirmed. It’s not half as good as the real thing. Cheesecake. – Yeah. – That’s a real, real hard thing to pull off if you’re gonna, if you’re a vegan. You might, you know what? Just give up the dessert. Just move on to something else. – But if you’re in the mood for hummus cake- – Yeah, yeah. – Then- – Call Trevor. – Oh. (upbeat music) – [Stevie] The tie is scored and it is time for quiche. – Oh, great. – We should not, we shouldn’t be tied. ‘Cause I have- – Nothing gets the boys coming to the yard like quiche! Oh. – [Link] What about Keisha? – Didn’t get much that time. I do like a good quiche, though. When I can get it in my mouth. (crew laughs) (crew laughs) – I don’t know if you want it in your mouth. You still working on it? – Yep. Yeah. That’s different. – [Link] Different than what? – Quiche. – Yeah. (crew laughs) (crew laughs) – You know what? I don’t know if we’re gonna keep, we can keep quiche in the apocalypse. You know, when the lights go out, we’re gonna be in trouble with quiche. – I’m okay, man. I’m okay. You, what? – Are you using your other hand? – What is he doing? No, I’m using the one hand. (crew laughs) – Dammit! Oh, I’m having such a hard time. – How bad can it be? – I don’t know. Y’all gave me a trick, a trick fork. Y’all gave me a trick fork! – Here, gimme your fork. I’ll feed you. – No, no, I’m good. – Come on, man. – I don’t wanna be fed by a man who can’t see with a fork. – Any man? – I don’t, I don’t. (crew laughs) God, man! Trick fork. – You good, man? – [Rhett] Oh. – You good? – Not yet. – [Link] You going back in? – Yeah. – [Link] I think you’ve worked, you worked yourself into a frenzy. This is obvious. – I’m so confused. – Well, let’s vote. This is a good place for you to be. – Gimme a second. – Have you actually eaten anything? (crew laughs) Come on, dude. (crew laughs) – [Trevor] Oh God. – Okay. – [Stevie] Non-vegan. Three, two, one. – You wrong, man. – [Stevie] Okay, you’ve disagreed. – Yeah. – Yeah, I almost chose that one. That’s why I kept going back to it. – [Stevie] The non-vegan quiche using regular eggs is on plate C. – What? – Yeah. It wasn’t obvious, man. That’s why you chose that one. I almost chose it too. – Yeah, it was decent. – This. – [Stevie] A used firm tofu and B used mung beans. – Mung beans almost make eggs! – What, what, what color is a mung bean? ‘Cause he ate all of it. I can’t- – [Trevor] Well, so the product is Just Egg. It’s like a non, it’s like a vegan egg substitute. But it’s made with mung beans, so. – Well, they’re doing it right. – Yeah, that definitely worked. I mean, it tricked me. – And then C- – [Stevie] Okay, so Rhett, oh sorry, go ahead. – Was made with real eggs. – [Stevie] Yes. – Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that’s right. That’s right, Link. Give, hey, give him a point for that. (crew laughs) – You heard the man. – [Stevie] Rhett, you win a jar full of compliments from the chef, AKA Trevor. – Aw, let me read one. – [Trevor] I don’t remember what I wrote. – “You are the Riz King!” – [Trevor] That sounds like me. – Thanks, Trev. – [Trevor] Yeah. – I’ll read ’em. I’ll read even more. – [Trevor] Hey, those aren’t for you. – I’m reading it to him. – Oh, thanks. I’ll take it. – “You’re the Riz King.” (crew laughs) Hold on here. – [Trevor] Thanks for liking and clicking that bell. (Rhett laughs) – Okay, don’t forget to come back for a new episode of “Good Mythical Weekend” tomorrow. – You know what time it is. – Hi, I’m Ella. – Hi, I am Jasmine.
