Not that it tasted bad, exactly. Just that it tasted… weird. Yeah, I think it’s something about the specific pipes and minerals that makes them taste different. Huh. Or maybe it’s just because you’re in a different place having different experiences. Could be. Or maybe the rumors are true and our taste buds transmogrify as we move across longitudinal planes simply because it pleases Enu. Potentially. Let’s find out. It’s time for For Life, Liberty, and The Pursuit Of The Best Tasting Tap Water in America. And Other Places. Okay, boys. The Mythical Crew reached out to family members across the country, and in some cases across the world, and asked them to send us their tap water. All the water samples were transported in the exact same type of clean, stainless steel containers. Good. And you’re going to taste each one. Guess where they’re from, and rank them on the board behind you. So our tentacles have gone all the way around the world. Well, our bottles. Okay. What we got here? Oh, yes, we have a ranking board. Ha ha ha ha. That I will explain. The worst water will be spigot outta here! Then, ickuid. Water we doing here? I’d tap that. Dam! That’s good. Damn because it holds water. And, spout standing! Oh, yes! The tap waters you’ll be tasting come from the following places. Texas, Colorado, Georgia, New York, Ontario, Canada, and Seoul, South Korea. And I will say, at the end of all this, if you don’t at least get half of the locations correct, you will be punished. Oh, no. Okay. Ha ha ha. No more watties? No need to worry about that. Who do we know in Seoul, Korea? You know, we got like family or something. All right. We don’t know. Seems that we have. We don’t know them. We know someone who knows them. We know someone who knows people in Seoul, Korea. That’s good to know. Uh, not bad. A little. It tastes municipal. Yeah. Does it not? Yeah, there’s a little treatment. Metallic treatment to it. Well, metallic treatment, I would say, is minerals. I think this has chemical treatment to it. But not a bad one. Like, I feel safe. Yeah. A little chlorine, a little fluoride. Not anymore. Does it, does it, does it taste like it came out of, like, a Korean fridge? Well, I wouldn’t know. I’ve been to the Korean supermarket, but I didn’t get water. Mm mm. Um, and I didn’t notice that they sold Korean tap water. It doesn’t feel nostalgic, which I think Georgia water will ’cause I was born there. You’ve been to New York. So have I, they make pizza with their water. We like it. Texas, the water is big. Uh, Colorado. Colorado water is high. Colorado, the water should be. Colo-wato. Da wado is high. Uh, I mean, I think this is a, a midwater. It’s midwater. And if, if I had to be pressed, I would push it a little bit lower. Yeah. I don’t disagree with this. So we’re saying, water are we doing here? But where are we saying this is from? Cause. I think maybe Texas. You think it’s Texas? I have no idea why. I don’t, I just because. Well I said it was Midland, and Midland is a town in Texas. And a band. Nope, that’s Korea. Colorado. So we’re guessing Texas. You gonna let us switch these around later if we need to? New York. New York’s gonna taste good. You gotta think Canada’s gonna taste good. And Colorado’s gonna taste good. Georgia’s gonna spark a infant memory for me. That’s right. All right, we’re locked in. Bee water. Bee, my friend. Ooh. It’s more treated, dude. Treated or mineral? I know you’re really drawing that distinction. Let me see. I feel like it’s run off of a rock. I think it’s mineral. Yes! See? There’s a difference. It’s run off a rock. Maybe a bunch of rocks piled on top of each other to the height of a mountain. And I’m talking about the Rockies. These are Rocky Tap. I’m saying Colorado. I don’t want to argue with that. It still tastes like tap water, though. Well, it is tap water. I know, so it’s not like it’s pristine mineral water. It’s not like spring water. It’s water that came from that place. Off the rocks. Went through the systems of humans. All of these went through a municipality. And they came out of a faucet. Right. Or a spigot. Now, I do like this better than eggs. It is a little bit better. I would say it’s two slots better. Two slots? Damn, that’s good. Well, I’m moving this down to five so I can move it to three. I’d tap that. You cool with that? I’d tap that. You cool with that? And I just made a snap judgment that it’s Colorado. But I mean, what do you feel? Could be Canada. Give me one more. They run water off rocks up there. Matter of fact, I was driving in the western part of Canada. Back at the top of the year. And you know what? I saw water running off of rocks everywhere. Oh. Yeah. Did you taste any? Yeah. No, I didn’t. Boy. No, I didn’t. If you’d have known we were gonna do this. But Ontario isn’t I already had water. You know me. Isn’t Western Canada. Nope. That’s why I didn’t choose it. We don’t know what they do. And all of you, you know, Ontario, Canada, and New York, they’re very close to each other. But different systems because of the countries. For now. Right. So, are you gonna, you gonna, you gonna stick with Colorado? You wanna just go down the, flag it up, man. Yeah, yeah, I’m not gonna argue with you. Flag it up. Oh, God. Okay. Can we be real though? Is anyone supposed to be drinking tap water at all anymore? Um I think you can. Mm hmm. C water. C water. Okay. This tastes the most unadulterated. Unadulterated? Pure water? This is just H2O. This is, I can see through it. Low microplastic count here. Of course it’s there. But this is very low microplastic. That is one of the reasons to not drink tap water is what I’ve been told. This is the best water by far. Easily the best water. It doesn’t have any other taste. I mean, is it spout standing? I think it is. We always can move it. Let me see if it sparks a memory. I think it’s spout standing. It really is. I mean, this water’s worth traveling for. Wherever this is, we might have to book a little ticket. Or are you in business or pleasure? Water. Just here for the tap water. I was trying to see if it sparked a memory as an infant. It ain’t Georgia, man. I forgot that I didn’t breastfeed. This is, this is, this is Canada. I was thinking about boobies. But I think that was incidental. Oh. Um, so it’s not Georgia. If it sparked a memory and you breastfed, it would mean that your mom had very watered down milk. Nah, she had thick milk. But I never got, I never got to participate with it. Why did you even say that your mom had thick milk? She’s a hardy woman. Did she A Scottish doctor once told her that. Was she a wet nurse or something? If she didn’t nurse you, who was she nursing? Wasn’t me. She didn’t nurse anybody. Then how do you know that her milk is, how do you say? Thick. You’re just trying to brag about your mom, saying my dad’s got big feet or something? Listen, if somebody asks you a question about your parents, you always give the most impressive answer. Reflexively, if you love them. My dad’s got big feet, my mom’s got thick milk. That’s right. I think this could be Canada, my friend. You know what, I like to believe that they probably, make it purer up there. That, it, there’s nothing for water to pass through to get any gunk unless it passes through some of that like you know. Tundra? Animal poop. Dung? Like horse dung. Because of the Mounties? I’m guessing so that and the moose. Okay, the moose and the Mountie dung, but this, my friend, can’t be topped. And maybe the C is for Canada. Now we have the pleasure of drinking from the D cup. Hmm, we’ve drunk from all the cups. Uh oh! Water boy’s gonna have a little bit of a debate now. Oh gosh. Over what is the cleanest water. Cause this right here is a pristine specimen. New York is so happy with their water. Right? I mean, they talk about it. And I drink the tap water every time I go to New York. Wow. I don’t think I think New York tap water has a taste, though, and this is tasteless. But, it’s better than C because they’re both equally tasteless, but it’s softer. That is really good water. You think we’ve got water like that in these, in, hold on, we don’t, hey, we haven’t even been thinking about Korea. It’s so futuristic there. They probably figured something out. They probably run it under the lights. You know, like LED lights. Uh huh. So you’re, you’re trying to make me say Korea. I, I, if we have to switch, then I’m saying that’s, I’m saying that’s Canada and then that’s Colorado. But yeah, throw, throw Korea over there. But you don’t think that New York is going to be good water. I think, I don’t. I think it’s, I think it makes good pizza. But I think it’s going to have a taste, and that’s what makes. Pipes taste? Yeah, it’s gonna have pipes taste. Pipes taste. Yeah. Quick alert, are you a fan of the podcast My Brother, My Brother, and Me? Well, then you need to go to the Sporked YouTube channel because Travis McElroy of My Brother, My Brother, and Me joined Sporked for a taste test of all of the new Valentine’s Day candy. All of it! And so if you’re interested in what to get and what not to get, or if you wanna see some of Travis, go over to Sporked’s YouTube channel to watch the full unedited video in just a little bit, right when this is over. Eee! Now why is this not double D? Good question. Is there an E cup, or does it go, it goes to double D, right? No, it goes It goes further? Well, I know it goes further, but it goes from D to double D. And then it goes triple D? Triple D and then D. Who is that back there talking about? It’s me! It’s Nicole, it’s me. Oh, alright. Don’t worry, I’ll just ask my mom about it. I don’t know why I’m talking to y’all about it. This is the perfect thing to bring up the next time I call Mama Di. How big do bras go, Mom? Give me all the sizes! How thick is your milk, Mom? I wouldn’t ask her that. This one has. This isn’t good. A negative taste. This is not a great water. Is it worse than A water? That’s my A water. Don’t drink my A water. Drink your A water. But now I’m drinking your A water? Yeah. It’s not as bad as A. A is the worst. A is worse-er than E. I don’t know, man. There’s a, at the end of this, it tastes like a marker. You like to sniff them. At the very end, does it not taste like a marker? Yeah, but at the beginning, this tastes bad. And I don’t think it’s Texas. I think this one’s Texas. Can we do that? Nope. Alright, we’ll leave this. Yeah, just keep it in your mind. We’re gonna leave that just so you don’t go nuts for it. Alright, who do we think has some of the worst water? We’re not saying, we gotta say Georgia. I’m throwing Georgia under the bus. Cause we’re saving New York to be weird, but not bad. I don’t remember much about those three years in Georgia except one time when it was snowing because we never knew it would snow and we weren’t prepared. We didn’t have any boots for it. So my mom took plastic bags and put them over our feet and sent us out into the ice. Okay. And we fell. Okay. But when you came back, she had some hot, thick milk ready for you. Yeah, but it was formula. Okay. Hot thick formula. Alright. Are you fine with this? Oh yes I am. Alright. F. It. I think the reason that they started going to double D is because if they just went A, B, C, D, E, F, G all the way through the alphabet, they might run out. So they just stopped making bras? No, I’m just saying, instead of waiting. Finger bras? Instead of waiting until they got to the Zs and just started doing double Z, triple Z, then it’s just like sleepy bra. Oh. You don’t wanna do that. Zzzz. You know, you don’t wanna do that. Yeah, you gotta So, like, they. Pace yourself when working with a bra. They went A, B, C, D, and then when they got the D in there, they were like, hold on, should we start doubling this? And then they did. Right, Stevie? Yep. Yep. You speak for all women? Hold on, there’s no double C? Uh, no, but I did look up a bra chart, which I feel like it’s something I should know. Can you send that to me? Uh, yeah, and, and the double D is an E, according to the bra chart. There’s just like a dual name for it, depending on your pre, presence. What about F? Is F also double E? Yeah, uh, triple, triple D is F. How many D’s can we get? This water is very dirty. This this water may be the worst water. This water actively has dirt in it. Like, it doesn’t taste dirty. It has solids in it. Yeah. That’s the dirtiest water I’ve ever tasted. I wouldn’t say it’s gritty, but It’s not New York! You’ve stuck us with New York! I think this is New York. I’m being serious. You think New York is dirty? There’s no way it has such a rep. It it doesn’t taste as bad as I thought it did now that I realize that this would be great in a pizza. Alright, mark my words, F is New York, but that’s not what we’re gonna say. Well, we have to though. Oh yeah, but I mean, but we’re just gonna switch it probably. But it’s the worst water, and I feel absolutely wrong about this. I don’t think it’s the worst water. This is either Georgia or Texas. I disagree that it’s the worst water. I think both of these are worse, but these three right here are all, don’t put your head under the sink. You like dirt? It’s good in a pizza. What was that feeling you said you had, Rhett? Feeling of being wrong? Ha! Um, Yeah, I’m sorry boys, we’re at zero right now. So this is your chance. Okay, so Links to one. To move things around. Okay, so, okay, alright. Are we wrong about the ranking? Or are we wrong about. We can’t be wrong about that. So we’re just moving flags. Let’s do this. I believe that you gotta put Georgia or Texas, and I’m not gonna throw the South under the bus, but I’m gonna kinda throw the South under the bus. We’re Southern. We can put Georgia for last. Okay. And I think, of course, I think Texas may be the worst water because it’s a dry place. It tastes dirty. There’s so much dirt. It’s so big. Oh yeah, they got a lot of dirt. If you think it’s dirt, then fine. We’re thinking Texas is dry and all of the water that they have still has dirt in it. I think New York is great water. I think it’s in the top two. You had your moment in the sun. You were wrong. Well, but there’s no reason to believe that South Korea has the best water. We just don’t know. But like you said, the lights. And I don’t think New York should have the best water. You think Canada should have the best water. New York should have the. And then I think Colorado should have the second best water. Colorado doesn’t have the second best water, man. New York! Does that have tasteless water? We’ve tasted it. Well, maybe we were tasting the hotel. This is right. I can taste it. Now that I’m here. Now that we’ve done it. Alright, Stevie. Hold on, hold on. Let me taste it. Canada, Colorado, New York, South Korea, Georgia. I don’t know, man. Did you move all of them? They’ve all been moved. Are they still all wrong? Well, um, Cup F? The correct answer is Texas. Hey! Texas, you don’t, don’t be putting your head under Texas. Stay out of the water. Don’t take a shower. Don’t line up for that hose. Uh, other than that, I’m sorry. You will be punished, but before you’re punished, let’s go over what’s what. Because you were saying some stuff that actually applies, but then you didn’t quite land the flag. So you thought that Cup A, oh, sorry. No, let’s start it from the top. Okay. Not of the alphabet. Best water. Best water. You thought cup D was the best water. And you were kind of between, at one point in the episode, two places. Colorado. There we go. So, that’s Colorado. See! Well, you didn’t say that. You said this. But you were trying to put New York there. So, you cock blocked me. Okay, Colorado. Cock dorado blot me. Okay, and then C had a really great moment in the show because you were like, oh, my God, this is so good. And then you were talking about, like, well, we haven’t talked about South Korea. Maybe they’ve figured things out. C is South Korea. They have. Okay, okay, all right. They’ve figured it out. B should remind you of that non breast milk that you had because that is from Georgia. Oh, Georgia has actually got goodish water okay, now we’re definitively into water that wasn’t that great. So, unfortunately, E is Ontario, Canada. Oh, my God. And I guess more unfortunately for the combo, A is from New York. Okay, I’m really disappointed in New York. That reputation really, really, really disappointed me. Good in pizza bad in your mouth. Unfortunately, you are both being declared total drips. And you will have to experience what total drips experience in Good Mythical More. Which is? You’ll find out if you click through.
