Could there be something better than cream inside an Oreo? Let’s talk about that. Good Mythical Morning. We’re about to figure out if there’s anything better to put between the Oreo cookies than cream. But first, this portion of today’s episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. You know by now, but it’s worth saying again, we are both huge advocates for therapy. Yeah. Therapy is valuable to me for so many reasons. For starters, sometimes I don’t even know what I’m thinking. Until I start to talk about it. Therapy helps me hear myself say things. And then begin to understand it once it’s out there. Uh, I don’t know if you knew that about me. Uh, I did, but it’s good to hear again. So, yeah, see, once you heard it, you understood it. That’s the same for me. Yes. Process my thoughts. You know what? I relate to that. I used to think I didn’t need therapy because I didn’t feel particularly depressed, and it was only after I started therapy that I realized Well, there was a lot that I’ve been holding back on, like the reasons for my ambition or my reluctance to share my feelings. These were things that I needed to work through, and therapy was the beginning of that work for me. So, were you depressed? No, I was not particularly depressed, is what I said. Oh, okay. Well, thanks for sharing that. Just had things to share. Therapy has truly helped us work through so much, even if it’s not depression, which is why it means a lot to us that BetterHelp is making therapy easier and more accessible to everyone.

Okay, now, back to Oreos. Who doesn’t love them? I mean, I would field an argument that they are the perfect cookie. I would field that. Okay, well that might be the case, but today we’re discovering. if there is an unexpected filling that is next to perfect. Oh, it’s time for Next Best Thing, Oreos and Cream Edition. All right, before we start looking for the next best thing, let’s remember the original. Just in case you’ve forgotten what they taste like. I like these resealable packages. Wow, yeah, eat it. It’s me. It’s also a puppet. Eat me. Okay. Mm hmm. Oh, you’re going to do it that way, huh? You like it? I still want to eat the whole cookie. You like it? Yeah, I know there’s not going to be anything better than that. Oh, oh, well, there might be something better than that! It doesn’t need to be better, it just needs to be this next best thing. But, it could be! Let’s find out. Y’all gave us sweet potatoes? Just a little patty of sweet potato. To go in there? I mean, that’s a thick coin of sweet like straight up, just cut sweet potato? Like, not like pureed. No, roasted. You roasted it? Alright. Do you recommend a squish? That looks fun. Oh, I squished. Look at my squish. Now, there’s a Halloween Oreo. That this seems to be imitating. But it’s probably not sweet potato. All right. All right. All right. My uncle had a sweet potato farm. Oh yeah. Uncle Gibbs. That’s good. You can do a lot with a sweet potato. Oh, they did. Always felt a little bit of guilt because I don’t really like sweet potatoes that much. Well, I’m gonna tell you right now we’ve established. It kind of works. I don’t know. That chocolate covers the world of hurt. So when something is on the, on the fence, it kind of brings it back in the corral. Well, sweet potatoes are a dessert. The way that I do like sweet potatoes, by the way, is in a sweet potato casserole. Super sweet. With a bunch of butter. What about completely raw? That’ll kill ya. No it won’t. Yeah it will. Poison. No, it’s good for you. Straight to the kidneys. It won’t. It won’t, YouTube. It won’t. This is the best way to eat sweet potatoes. Raw. Second best way is in an Oreo cookie. That’s actually so much better than I was expecting. And the fact that there’s a little mush to it. Mm hmm. Makes it feel like a triple stuffing. Just enough sweetness. I’m surprised. And now I trust you. Mozzarella! Ooh, okay. So, Lily, you, um, Mm hmm. You just melted the mozzarella? Yeah, just in the microwave. Oh, yes. And then you’re gonna just, I mean, should I go from, Should I go sideways? Houston? We have a cheese problem. Well, that’s not a problem. That’s a solution. Oh, look at that. Look at that. Look at that. Yes, yes, yes. That’s nice. I’m making it. At some point, I’m going to switch. To the other side. Oh, really? Yes. There you go. Oh! You could be in a storefront window. Yeah, look at the big tall guy at the cheese shop. This is what taffy shops can become. Yep. You know, everybody goes up to the window and watches the taffy being made. But then you eat the taffy and you’re like, Why am I doing this? Right. It’s like eating plastic. But this right here. I’m giving you the one with less on it, because I’m a cheese guy. A fondue-reo. You always want to maintain a connection to the original cheese. Okay. My tether has been severed. Mm hmm. Mm. Oh my God. It’s like a chocolate cheesecake. Ho ho! That’s good. Whoa, that’s good! Mm hmm. Mm. Mm! I’m sorry, sweet potato. I don’t think there’s any competition here. No, no, no. Like, that’s something real special. Now, we’ve known, That’s good. And it’s still the right color. Cheese and chocolate mixes. We’ve done that on this show before. I can’t remember how or why or when. But I know who. It was me and you. Yes. That’s right. I know what it was. It was cheese and chocolate. That’s all you gotta do. What about how? How? I gotta go back and watch it. Oh, okay. I like the fact that it’s the same color combination. Thank you. This is getting We’re gonna get rid of that. Now, the sweet potato is better than we thought it was gonna be. I’m having more fun than I expected, and I’ve still maintained my cheese tether. Mm hmm. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Wild herring. You know what? This might be a little too wild for me. I only like tame herring. You’re gonna have to try this one without me. No, no, no, no, no. It’s such a big piece. Oh, look, there’s a little onion. Look, I’m giving you a small piece. With the onion? Yeah, with the onion. I mean I didn’t know we made this stuff. Mythical Wild Harry. We don’t approve of everything anymore. I actually think that pickled fish is way easier to eat than unpickled fish. Like, I think the, the, the, mm hmm. Before you eat that, let me ask you, what’s something that you’ve never read on a cookie package? Because, just for reference, I, I have something on the Oreo package that I’ve never read on a cookie package before. These are not actually cookies. Ha ha. Slit appears when opened. Says that right there. Slit appears when opened. The slit was invisible. There was a moment there, probably six or seven months, where people were seeing slits and not knowing why. Right. And they were like, we gotta add this, we gotta add this. They had a meeting, and they’re like, how about the slit appears when opened? Yeah, that’ll do it. That’ll do it. Oh my God, why is there a slit on my Oreo? That was just a little service for you. Yeah, thank you for that, Link. All right. Yours has a little onion. Oh, God, okay. It’s not gonna be as bad as you think. It’s not gonna be better than cheese, but it’s not gonna be as bad as you think. Okay. Hmm. Ah ha. Hmm. No, not hmm. Ugh. I’m just saying pickled herring is better than I thought it was gonna be. I could, I could, This could be like a late night snack. It’s probably really good for you. Don’t know where it’s made. I hate it. Oh, God. Oh, God. How are you even able to process that with a straight face? Like what what kind of, what kind of childhood did you have? I was raised by Vikings. I don’t even know who my father was. He just showed up one day. On his ship? Yep. And my mom was pregnant, and then we never saw him again. But I love boats. But we hate this. Yeah, we hate it. It ain’t replacing the cheese. So we got some Mythical canned meat, but yes, we are ripping off spam with our own. Well, literally, it’s Spam that we put our packaging on. Which is how a lot of the food industry works. Why don’t you just, Oh, look. Make that into something. Now, when I tried the teriyaki spam, I was like, oh, I like this. But this is, why, what, why are we doing this, specifically? It’s meat product. Do you want the real answer, or do you want the answer beyond the answer? Oh. I can give you both. I want an answer beyond the answer, I think. Okay, here’s the answer beyond the answer. It’s like, okay, so, we make this program, you know. Good Mythical Morning. And there’s a slit in it? Uh, yeah, there’s slits. But what we have found is that they don’t appear when we do things that are a little bit beyond what you might do at home. Like, I’m not gonna do that. But I have made, and you have made, a decision. That you enjoy watching us do things that probably shouldn’t be done. But maybe they should be done on the internet. Yeah. And we’re willing to do it. And we do it. But, as we’re doing it, we’re saying things like, I wonder if this will be good. You know? Like, we’re making it seem like maybe we think it could work. Because sometimes, against all odds, it does work. But there’s a part of our brain the whole time that’s thinking, this is definitely not gonna work, but we have to act like it might work for entertainment purposes. But we’ve also learned that it might. Because sometimes it does. But this won’t. But this won’t. This won’t. But we’re gonna do it so you can watch us do it. That’s what they call a little peek behind the slit. Yep. Once the slit is opened We opened up our slit and let you examine. Now you can see it. We let you examine our brains. Yep. Our slit has appeared because we’ve opened it to you. Another thing that we do is we bite things. He makes that face. And I do things like this. Because I’m giving it a chance, you know what I’m saying? I’m always giving it a chance. I can’t. I was giving it a chance. I gave it a chance when I put it in my mouth. But then when I tasted it, the chance was over. Uh, I don’t think it’s great. But I gave it a chance. And now, our slit is closing. Would you like some guacamole? So this is just straight avocado. Uh, I’m going to do like a, I’m going to do like a normal amount. Like if I was really doing this, you work at the Oreo factory, you’re right behind the window. People are walking by. They’re like, Oh, this used to be a taffy shop. Yeah. I mean, I’m going to need a creamer, like a cream machine, cream machine. Uh, that was my nickname in high school. Sometimes you just have to say it. Oh, gosh. At first, I’ve just got avocado. Hmm. It’s good for you. It gets good at the end. Some, yeah, but the avocado, it’s, it’s like you’re on a road trip, and it’s driving for a second, and then while you’re still on the road, it says, hey, hey, get up here, get up here, cookie. You start driving. I’m gonna get in the back seat and take a nap. That’s what happened. So avocado is like the dad? And you never got, you never took an exit? Never had to stop for gas. I watched a, Very efficient changing of the driver I watched an Internet video of two old men changing drivers in an RV. I saw that. I figured you’d see that. That’s gonna be us one day. Yep. One guy was holding the wheel while standing, and the other guy slid in behind him, grabbed his hips, tapped him twice. I don’t remember that part. And then he moved out of the way and the guy grabbed the wheel and he was there. You watched a different one. Oh, really? There was no hip grabbing and no tapping in the one I watched. This is, this is, look, you can even dip it like this if you want a little bit more. I don’t, really, um, it’s too bland. Is that why you like it so much? It’s still a sweet dish and it lets chocolate drive. Tapping the, tapping the hips. Okay, well you can have it. So, this one’s not bad. But it still ain’t my surprise. It’s no sweet potato either, I don’t think. Sweet potato’s my next to the next. This is number three. Heads up, today is the last day of our Cyber Week sale.

Look at this, beautiful fruit. The outside is beautiful, the inside is beautiful. Lily, how do you make these medallions? Would you call them medallions? Yeah, little medallions, um, just a little ring mold. Punch it out after you slice it. A what? Ring mold. Ring mold, she says. You, you, this whole time, you could have just been making medallions of things. Yeah. Mm hmm. This matches my, my festive sweatshirt. I will say, if there’s a dish that says medallions on a menu, it’s really hard for me to not get it. I don’t think I’ve ever not gotten medallions. Steak medallions. Steak medallions is the most common. Scallop medallions. Scallops are medallions. Well, they are medallions. It’s repetitive. It’s repetitive. We don’t say that. But a scallop medallion, to say a scallop medallion, medallion shouldn’t be said, is just, it’s hurtful. I think if you put scallop medallions on a menu, people will be like, What is that? You’ll be like, well, it’s scallops. A whole scallop is not a medallion, you gotta cut it. Nope, it’s a column. Scallops are too column-ated to be called medallions on their own. There’s a cold and refreshing, Makes a nice cross section. You know, because it kind of looks like a triple stuff. Even on the outside. Like with the specks in there. That looks cool. Dragon fruit. Doesn’t that look cool? Dragon fruit, my only critique of you is that you could have a stronger flavor. There’s less flavor than the avocado. I think there’s more fiber in this. So I’m making that argument. If you need more fiber in your diet eat Oreos with dragon fruit in the middle, but yeah, we just can’t, we can’t do it. No we can’t. We can’t do it. It’s pretty, but it’s shallow. We can’t do it. And we, if we’re anything, it’s not shallow. And here, we’re doing this now. I love this kimchi. I think I know what brand that we’re using here to make it our brand. Make me one. Oh man, I’m gonna make you a nice one. Look at that. And then, would you eat this whole thing? I think that would be too much. It would be like, gastronomically cataclysmic. Not in one sitting. I think everybody should have a little, a little bite or three of kimchi in the evenings. What? Just a little kimchi night bite? Yeah, a kimchi night bite is a great thing. Right before bed? Mm-hmm . Anybody on team night, night bite? Kimchi. Anybody on Team Night Bite? Who’s on team Night Bite? Oh, oh, hm. Oh, I’ll say that’s, that’s good. Kimchi. Just really good kimchi. It’s a good brand. Very flavorful. Hmm. Makes me wanna say gochujang or whatever it, what’s the? Yeah, it’s that. What? Gochujang. Yeah. I got you, Gong! With your gochujang. Mm. Man. That is good. You can get some of that. I mean, is that, that’s a Korean culinary term, is it not? Yeah, it is. The, uh, I gotta be honest with you. Hey! The part I don’t like about this is the Oreo. Yep, yep. Oreo has lost. The Oreo is getting in the way of the kimchi. It’s not gonna become a part of my night bite. All right, so we are not moving this up there, but we’ve got to tell you to do this. Yeah, and the only way to, can I have two more Oreos, please? Just get your mozzarella. And then get your microwave. And then just. I think there’s only one way to really celebrate this. Just let yourself have it. Especially if you’re gonna eat a kimchi night bite, you can follow it up with one of these. This is the thing to do. That’s, that’s called a, This is what I was hoping we were gonna do. Okay, this is, I mean, I got a little mouth. I’m sorry. This is a grim finale to this episode. Hold on, let me see. I think I gotta squish it. I’m sorry I gotta squish it. He’s gotta squish it. Put weight on me. Put weight on me. Put all your weight on me. Oh! You got it? Got it. Okay. Oh, wow. Okay. Look at that. Look at that. It’s like, it’s like you put the king’s seal into the mozzarella. Okay, alright. Alright, bite it, because we need to end this episode. You’re crazy, dude. He’s the craziest guy that I know. I love him for it. Look at what he did. I bit all the way to the chocolate on both sides. You did it, man. You did it. Oh my goodness.
