GMM 2698: International Pie Taste Test

We’re trying pies from around the world. Let’s talk about that Good Mythical Morning. Now, you know these two boys love some pie. Yes, we do. It’s the food form factor that just keeps on giving. But you know who else likes pie? Uh huh. The birthday girl, Stevie. Happy birthday, Stevie! Look at this. Oh, no. This is not the right song. What is happening? It’s all for you. Wait, were you guys going to do a choreographed dance, but then you didn’t? Oh… The wrong song. The wrong song? Yeah, I chose it. All right. Sorry, clock wipe… But you know who else likes pie? The birthday girl, Stevie. Happy birthday, Stevie! Five, six, seven, eight. Stevie. Stevie. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Stevie. Stevie! Happy birthday, Stevie. Happy birthday. Happy birthday. Oh, my God, that was so worth it. That was so worth it. That was so good. Guys, this is the best birthday ever. What do you call that dance, Stevie? All right, let’s get into some pies, shall we? It’s time for… where in the world do these international pies come from? Okay, boys, you’re about to taste pies and throw darts at where you think they’re from. And of course, Link, we have French fry darts for you again. Thank you. Chase, the pied piper cartographer will be measuring your darts. TRA la la. I’m a pied piper. Can you. You’re afraid to put it in your mouth. You play your little thing there. Wow. Sounds a lot like the human whistle. All right. And whoever loses today will have to shut their pie hole whenever the birthday girl says so. In Good Mythical More. And Rhett, because you won last time, you have a disadvantage this time. Each round you’ll have to throw three darts and take the worst score of the three. Oh That doesn’t sound fair. But you’re eating pie. How bad can it be? What kind of pie? It’s all the same color. It looks like it’s a crust pie. Is it like custardy? What is that? that’s pretty nice. There’s some fruit in there. There’s a custardy fruit filling. Is it apple? It’s very bready. Tastes like bread pudding with it’s the consistency of apple… But this pie is nowhere near as sweet as an apple pie. This is like from a place where they don’t want to taste too much. You know what I mean? Hold back a little bit. Hold back with the flavor and I kind of like that. I like a little bland pie. Yeah, you’re a bland guy. I like a bland pie. I’M not a bland guy. I’m a bland loving guy. Okay… I’ve got to throw these three. Not at the same time, but in succession. And the worst one will be the one that you measure. Yeah. And I will say before you throw, because you can’t really tell visually, but remember you had asked us, can we get rid of the old map and really replace it with like a high tech map? We did that. And it’s actually super state of the art because it’s highly sensitive and it can feel exactly where you hit it. So I just want to let you know because it’s going to be. It’s going to be a little bit different. That’s cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The map feels? Okay. I wish the map could tell me where to throw because I do not have any idea. I’m leaning between Finland and New Zealand. I feel like it’s Finland. Oh, okay. Okay, here we go. Oh, okay. So it’s responding. It’s feeling. Hey, that’s pretty consistent. It throws. It seemed like it felt some pain. I didn’t really think that when I heard it’s reaction that I was gonna feel sadness. You felt sorry for the map. I felt a little sadness for the map. Ooh, that’s a long one. Gotta make it shorter. Judges? I’ve done it before. I do it every time. The judges love it. It’s acceptable? Manipulate the darts? How do you feel about my guess first of all? I hate it because… I think it’s a coward’s guess. This is from New Zealand. New Zealand is known for their… blandness. Their pies. most notably meat pies. There’s a lot of, like hefty pie stuff happening. This right here, I did not have in New Zealand, but I could have. And I’m willing to go and take the big risk. Cause I’m going for the gusto… Okay. New Zealand right there. That map sounded. It’s kind of like you just nudged and disappointed. It’s like you just sort of poked it. It seemed indifferent. That was a very good throw though, Link. So for my next two fries. No, no, no. You don’t get two fries. I ain’t afraid to throw for New Zealand. You just had buco pie made from young coconuts and sweetened condensed milk. This island delicacy that eventually made its way around the world was created in the Philippines. Ooh, that’s bad for me. No, it’s not. It’s good for you. Do you know where the Philippines are? Do we need a little map lesson A little map lesson for the linkster. Well, New Zealand is an island. Rhett, you had 44 and Link 24. Oh, nice for me. That was good for me. Yep, nice for you. Was it good for you? That’s a tall boy. And what is that in the middle? A whole… egg. Oh, I’ve got confetti. Oh. Oh. Problem? I’m coming here in the back. Gosh. I did it again. Look at. Did you see the egg? I’m still trying to live that down. I’m sorry. Yeah, that wasn’t popular. Stevie, that was a birthday present for you. Oh, that made it worse. I mean, what do you want? Do you want some of that yolk? Whoa. It’s so eggy. So it’s a quiche. It’s a quiche with a whole egg in the middle with a bunch of spinach. This is very good. Is there something else in it? besides just some sort of spinach? You’re up one egg. Yeah. I’ve taken the early lead. It’s lonely at the top with my fry. I mean. this could be down the street. And United States is on the board. United States. We live there. I’ve had lots of quiche in the United States. but where did it originally come from? It seems like quiche could be an Italian word. Quiche. quiche. quiche. Quiche! If you say it like that. I’m actually starting to feel Quiche. very Italian. Where’s the quiche? Quiche is Italian. Right there on it. I don’t get as much of a reaction. It’s almost like… enjoying it a little bit. What do you think? Is this more than just quiche? It’s more than just quiche because it has a crust on top. That’s a good point. The thing that it doesn’t have that you would expect is that there’s not a lot of cheese in it, if any. That’s. Cause it’s the original from Italy. When I first saw it, I thought India, because they’ll put spinach in things like this. Yeah. Like a… Like a paneer? Like a saag. Paneer. I don’t know what those… I do like it, though. Saag paneer. But there’s no Indian spice at all, and so it makes me less likely to choose India. It’s actually kind of bland, too. I don’t know, man. I’m making a move here. I think it is the United States. Oh, you nailed it. It’s getting. It’s. Oh, man. I almost hit it. Three times. All right. You didn’t hit it. You just had torta Pasquale. No, torta, that’s not from the U.S. Also known as Easter pie, the spinach, charred egg and cheese filling is lovingly surrounded by a homemade crust. While it’s typically prepared around Easter time, it can be enjoyed any time of the year in Italy. Oh, my goodness. You’re racking it up, man. All right, Rhett, you had 36… And… Link, you… had, surprisingly, 3.1415956. Just kidding. It’s zero. You got Italy. That was a pie joke. So I did. That was pie. Pie joke. That is a bullseye is what you’re saying. Yes, that joke was a bullseye, so. Yes, it was. This is the second bullseye I’ve had on this show. I don’t. Okay, listen, not… But with ketchup. Ketchup is not a bullseye, bro. You’re not counting it? Throwing a liquid at the map does not get you a bullseye. You gotta have a dart to do that. I still feel good about it. You ever look at our set and think, boy, I’d like it to be in many pieces that I could slowly put together on a rainy day. Ha. Well, you’re in luck. It’s the GMM set puzzle. This thing is full of Easter eggs. Little things that you don’t expect. Look at that. A thousand pieces gone to a thousand pieces yet. We had a 500 piece puzzle. We’ve doubled the pieces, but now we’re giving you so many more pieces. It’s available ay Mythical.com Mythical.com Ooh, what’s. Is this even a pie? What? This is. What is that? That is… meat. I thought it might have been like beans or smoked pieces of very smoky. Oh, oh, there’s a bunch of fish in it. There’s fish? Yeah, there’s fish in there. Is this all smoked fish or is there pork? No, there’s. It’s fish and bacon. Fish and bacon? So much fish. This is one of the easiest fish dishes that I’ve ever had down. Cause I thought it was smoked pork. Well, it is, but it’s also fish. But I’m still not getting, like overwhelmed by fish in a way that makes me want to say something negative. I’m used to doing it. Hey, find a way. No, I don’t want to find a way. Oh, okay. I’m only saying positive things. This is a brown…mystery of smoky fishiness. So I’m thinking Finland. Where else? The bread is interesting. Like… it could be Nigerian bread. My answer has to be Finland, though, because there’s so much fish in there. It’s just like, little smoked sardines just stacked up. There might be 78 individual sardines. I would say maybe even more, Link. Maybe 250. Maybe. Maybe less. 103 Exactly All right, so I’m going for Finland. I am Get. Was that the map or was that you? Fish in my throat. I’m just anticipating what the map might do. That’s what the map’s gonna sound like. All right. Yeah, I’m feeling good about Finland. Look at that. That was. I did not like the sound it made. And I’m sorry. I can’t help but make a sound when it’s making it sound. Yeah, that was awkward. Because you and that map making those sounds together. I began picturing you alone with the map. We’re in sync. And that’s a bullseye. The bread has, like a. It’s reminiscent of, like, an Ethiopian pancake thing. That’s what I’ve been saying. I really hope it’s not Nigeria. I hope it’s South Africa. It’s further away from your other answer. South Africa. So I’m gonna act like it’s South Africa. I’m gonna will South Africa to be the answer. Cause it’s further away. I’m sorry. Ears hurt. Ow. Ow. Hit you a little too low. Something about down there. The map is very sensitive. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We all understand why. You just had calacuco, a savory pie traditionally made with fish, pork, and bacon, baked inside of a rye crust. This fishy, bready, surprising pie comes from that country that still may or may not exist. That’s right. Finland. Finland exists. This is a hell of a performance, Link. Two zeros in a row. That might be a record. We might have to take away his French fries. Maybe. I mean, it’s not really the spatter. It’s called the dart game. It’s not the spatter of the ketchup that’s doing it, though. It’s just I’m so much better at aiming a French fry. But it’s. I mean, if I sign up to play Olympic basketball and I show up with an egg, they don’t let me play. Is that how you just sign up to play Olympic basketball? Yeah. And you would bring an egg? All right, Rhett, you had 45. Oh, wow. And Link hit a bullseye. What? Oh. Why am I the only one celebrating? I’ll do a dance for you. Stevie, Happy birthday. I Did this for you. Oh, no. We celebrated when we saw you hit it. As a birthday present, though, to yourself. I mean, if this wasn’t going to be the retiring of the french fries, what is going to be the retiring of the french fries? I don’t think anyone else is upset about the french fries other than you. Rhett. I’m so sorry. It’s just, like, what, the alternative in terms of, like, safety. So I’m gonna start throwing french fries, too next time. So now we just both throw French fries for our dart game. I’m okay with that. But we’ll have to talk about title thumb. Yeah. See. Now we’re back to a normie looking pie… It looks like it could be a. What? More confetti on my. Maybe a. It’s like a sweet potato. It’s very hard to get it apart. I wouldn’t call this a normal piece. It looks normal. Mm. That’s the consistency of a lemon. It’s very thick. It’s very damp. I like the taste of this. It’s a mystery round any position on the map. What are you doing? Something wrong with my shoe. Nothing a good cobbler won’t fix. That’s a pie joke. That was a bullseye again. Right, guys? A cobbler is pie, but it’s also a person who repairs shoes. I appreciate it, Chase. I didn’t. Yeah, sorry. I’m gonna keep eating this. Don’t apologize. I can do the dance again. No, don’t. I like it. This is a fun pie for me. It does have a sweet potato experience. It’s a fun pie for you. Yeah, it’s a fun pie for me. What do you do on the weekends? I just really like. I like that it’s consistent throughout. There’s nothing in there to surprise you. It’s just a slab of fun. Slab of. Yeah, fun. If it ain’t broke. Don’t add anything to it. But what is that thing? That’s not a sweet potato. It’s not on the map. It’s an African root pie. I think that’s what it is… It’s also in the middle of the board. And I don’t. You know, I don’t want to go to the edges for no good reason. Yeah, don’t do that. So here I go. Uruguay. Uruguay. Yep. Uruguay. I’m a guy. Yeah. We’re all guys. All right. No, we’re not. Just you and I, are the guys guays. I mean, but me and you and Chase. Yep. We’re the guays. Come on, guys. We’re the guays. What are we doing after this? Just three guays. Just three guays having a good. He like that. Feels good in your Saudi Arabia, doesn’t it? Makes your Arabia a little salty. I’m so uncomfortable today. Combination of losing this badly and listening to Link have sex with a map. Using his French fry. Yeah, yeah. No, I don’t. This whole thing has been building up to this phallic symbol you’re holding in your hand and throwing at the board. I’m a tater poker. First of all, you said Uruguay, and then you threw it at Saudi Arabia. Well, I missed. Well, fry throwing ain’t as easy as you think. Hold on. But you’ve been so accurate. How did that happen? I would like Link to point out where Uruguay is on the map. What continent do you think it’s on? You pointed to South America, right? No, no, no. Central America? Africa. Uruguay is not in Africa. Oh. Not Aguay. Okay. Are you gonna extend a special deal to me if I guess it right and hit it If I get. I mean, you can’t have to hit it with all three, though. I got three. I have to hit it with all three. If any one of the three hits the right country that you have also called. then I will let you throw with fries next time we do this. No, you will let me win. I’ll let you get within one point of winning. Oh, come on. That’s bull crap, man. All right, fine, I’ll let you win. I mean, I don’t really have an informed guess here. but if you do that Then I can throw a fry at the crotch of the inn and north, and if I hit that, it erases your win. It sounds like the map wants to. Okay, deal. Okay, I think you’re onto something with. Go for it. Maybe the word you were looking for was yucca or something like that. Yucca. Is it a yucca pie? Yucca guay. I’m going to pick Argentina because it’s the biggest one that’s not Brazil, and I might be able to hit it. Argentina. That hurt. All right, I hit it. See? But see, what I did was. I’m sorry. He’s turning into a baby. Okay, so I hit Argentina. I don’t love the fact that I basically gave you three tries to hit, but anyway. All right. you just had tarte de feau, which literally translates to bean pie or bean tart. It’s a sweet pie made with a thin crust and a filling made of sugar, eggs, almonds, and the most important ingredient, navy beans. Oh, and it comes from Portugal. Oh, Portugal. You’ve been there and you love beans. I didn’t have this. This is. Aren’t you so embarrassed? No. Link, you had 18 and Rhett, did you do it? Nope. You had 33. Yeah. didn’t do it, bro. You didn’t do it. So I have extended my streak. Yeah. And that means, Rhett, you have to shut your pie hole in More. You lost last time. Oh yeah. Well, he has seemed to be started. A new streak and I plan on extending. Boy, it must hurt to lose that belt. Yeah, it does. Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell. You know what time it is?
